The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1550 - Sanity Is Making A Comeback

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left continues its retreat as the mayor of D.C. prepares to get

00:00:04.100 rid of the giant Black Lives Matter mural in the city. Also, another study shows that so-called

00:00:08.700 gender-affirming care increases the suicide rate. And a leftist talking head laughs hysterically at

00:00:14.980 the footage of a female athlete sustaining a traumatic brain injury at the hands of a

00:00:18.620 trans-identified male. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 As we celebrate the victory of our 47th president, there's no better way than to introduce the 4547

00:00:52.300 Patriot Edition American Whiskey produced by the team at Wise Spirits right here in our hometown of

00:00:57.600 Nashville. Their massively handcrafted American whiskey pays homage to the very essence of a

00:01:02.500 great nation, celebrating its rich history and vibrant culture. Each batch is carefully selected

00:01:07.260 from the finest barrels, with each drop representing a testament to precision and quality. The best part

00:01:12.120 is this whiskey is made by patriots for patriots and embodying the spirit of the American dream.

00:01:17.240 I've had the pleasure of enjoying 4547 whiskey, and let me tell you, it hits hard with a strong taste

00:01:21.740 and a clean finish. You can tell this is not some cheap bottom shelf stuff. It's the kind of drink

00:01:26.980 that makes you want to lean back in your chair and have another. Experience the 4547 Patriot Edition

00:01:31.560 Whiskey, where every sip tells a powerful story of heritage, craftsmanship, and indomitable spirit.

00:01:36.800 Here's to freedom, to tradition, and to the spirit of America. 4547 Patriot Edition American

00:01:41.460 Whiskey, crafted with honor, inspired by courage, crafted by Wise Spirits Nashville, Tennessee.

00:01:52.220 Wise Spirits Incorporated. Nashville, Tennessee. Must be 21 or over.

00:01:55.080 Just a few days after BLM and Antifa set fire to a church outside the White House in the summer of

00:02:00.640 2020, the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser, issued an emergency order. And this was not an

00:02:07.320 order about restoring law and order to the streets of the nation's capital or punishing the vandals who

00:02:11.840 had just destroyed property and assaulted Secret Service agents or anything like that. Instead, Bowser

00:02:16.420 made the decision to hire an elite team of eight artists, yes, eight artists, to meet at around

00:02:24.180 3.30 in the morning. And these artists' mission, if they chose to accept it, was to paint the words

00:02:29.880 Black Lives Matter on two blocks of road in giant 50-foot tall letters just a few blocks from the

00:02:35.940 White House. This street painting would be referred to as a mural to give it some sense of grandeur,

00:02:41.580 even though it's really just graffiti. Nobody knows why it required eight artists to paint three

00:02:46.360 words in Times New Roman font. Maybe they needed one to do the painting, the other seven for spell check.

00:02:52.140 Not exactly clear, but it was clearly a very deliberate decision to have this graffiti painted

00:02:58.560 in secrecy under the cover of darkness, like they were planning the Bin Laden raid or something.

00:03:03.840 Apparently, the reasoning was that white supremacists would be less likely to jump out of the bushes on

00:03:08.640 16th Street and mess up the paint at three in the morning, because we all know at that hour,

00:03:13.020 the white supremacists are too busy hunting for the cast of Empire in Chicago. So the BLM graffiti

00:03:18.260 could be painted in peace. And then by morning, everybody would awaken to see Black Lives Matter

00:03:24.140 on the ground, and racism would be defeated. All of the Klan members in Washington, D.C. would see

00:03:30.260 the words on the street, and they would say to each other, geez, you know what? Black lives really do

00:03:34.540 matter. And then they would throw off their pointy white hats and go get jobs at the Southern Poverty Law

00:03:39.480 Center. Now, of course, the actual plan was a bit more modest than that. The real goal was simply to

00:03:45.680 annoy Donald Trump and impress the resistance, which applauded any effort, no matter how petty,

00:03:51.120 to advance the BLM scam. And to that end, Bowser renamed the area with the alleged mural as Black

00:03:57.100 Lives Matter Plaza. And then she posted this message on social media, quote, we turned on the nightlight

00:04:03.160 for him to dream about, for him, for, we turned on the nightlight for him so he could have dreams

00:04:08.380 about Black Lives Matter Plaza. So yes, according to Bowser, the plan was to have Donald Trump dream

00:04:13.780 about some words they painted on the ground. And people loved it. You know, this is the kind of

00:04:18.960 tweet that on old Twitter got tens of thousands of likes and nonstop praise in the replies. Anybody

00:04:24.660 who disagreed was banned for hate speech. Given that recent history, it's actually kind of astonishing to

00:04:29.980 see how the mayor and Democrat activists have reacted to Republicans' latest effort to get rid

00:04:35.080 of BLM Plaza and the street graffiti. Congressman Andrew Clyde of Georgia recently introduced legislation

00:04:41.080 that would strip DC of most of its federal funding unless they eliminate BLM Plaza and rename it Liberty

00:04:46.780 Plaza and get rid of the disgusting, ugly graffiti. And instead of fighting back in any way, Democrats

00:04:52.420 are rolling over. Bowser has already announced that the BLM writing is going to be removed from the

00:04:56.800 street. Apparently, the current plan is to replace it with artwork commemorating the 250th anniversary

00:05:01.660 of the Declaration of Independence, which is coming up next summer. And as various local news

00:05:06.660 outlets are reporting, it's not just the mayor who's fine with this. One of the artists involved

00:05:11.120 in creating the so-called mural doesn't really seem to care either. Watch.

00:05:16.360 Kiana Jones is one of the artists who helped to paint Black Lives Matter Plaza here back in 2020,

00:05:21.700 following protests along 16th Street after the murder of George Floyd. The mural now likely to

00:05:26.740 be covered up. Mayor Muriel Bowser says she'll have it removed as Congress threatens to take away

00:05:31.660 hundreds of millions of dollars from the city's highway fund if it doesn't comply. There's a lot

00:05:36.660 of things that are happening, especially with the budget cuts, people losing their jobs,

00:05:40.260 just a lot happening. And we have to prioritize things. And I understand the decision that she

00:05:46.660 made. The mayor speaking out an event today. We have bigger fish to fry than fights over what has

00:05:53.780 been very important to us. And a similar sentiment across the river in Southeast DC. My fight is not

00:05:59.800 Black Lives Matter Plaza right now. Community activist and DC GoGo Museum founder Ronald Moten

00:06:04.980 says he understands the decision to remove the mural and shifting the city's focus. My fight is making

00:06:10.900 sure Anna Acacia thrives. My fight is to make sure Shaw thrives, Dean Wood thrives, and make sure people

00:06:17.420 get to work, right? Now, it's actually, it's kind of amazing if you were alive in 2020, which I'm assuming

00:06:25.840 everyone listening to this was, that this is the reaction to taking down the graffiti. I mean, we all

00:06:33.680 know that if they had tried to do this in 2021, it would have been treated like, there would have been

00:06:39.720 literally riots in the street about it. But at this point, you have to go out of your way to find anyone

00:06:45.380 in DC who cares about this graffiti being wiped away. The people who created it are now distancing

00:06:50.320 themselves from the whole idea. So are a lot of local activists, as we saw. So we went from Mitt

00:06:56.360 Romney saying Black Lives Matter as he marches along with left-wing activists to watching left-wing

00:07:00.980 activists pretty much disavow the whole thing. It only took a few years. It's not just, by the way,

00:07:05.360 that they don't care that the mural is being removed, the graffiti is being removed. Really,

00:07:10.300 they want it to be because they're embarrassed by it. I mean, that's what's lying underneath all of

00:07:15.220 this, is that they're embarrassed every time they have to walk past this ridiculous display. And so

00:07:21.840 they actually want it to be gone. Now, to be fair, I did find at least one woman who seemed upset that

00:07:27.340 this beautiful mural is being erased. Here's what she told a local news station. As you'll see, this

00:07:32.060 woman is wearing a shirt about DC statehood, and she begins by talking about DEI. So it's safe to say

00:07:37.140 that the BLM graffiti isn't exactly her primary focus, but she eventually gets around to implying that

00:07:42.940 erasing the big yellow words on the street is a really bad idea. Watch.

00:07:48.160 I think it's very shameful because the attack on diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the attack on

00:07:57.120 protests such as Black Lives Matter, I think it's an attempt to erase us and our struggle and our history,

00:08:05.320 and it's wrong.

00:08:06.700 History, yes. The five-year-old history of the Black Lives Matter graffiti. You don't want to

00:08:13.480 erase that. It'd be interesting to get this woman's take on all the statues that Democrats have torn

00:08:17.380 down over the years. That's the kind of history she wants to see. She actually wants to see erased,

00:08:23.160 but some words painted on a street five years ago, a monument to the total disaster of the BLM

00:08:29.040 movement, is something that we supposedly need to preserve at all costs. Now, of course,

00:08:34.060 most people in the Democrat Party apparently don't agree. They're trying to distance themselves from

00:08:40.240 this as quickly as they can. BLM, which was once a core unifying pillar of the Democrat Party,

00:08:46.740 has suddenly become a major political liability for Democrats. They can't run away from it fast

00:08:50.800 enough. And this is progress, of course, in one sense. It's a sign that Democrats are abandoning a

00:08:56.980 movement that caused more than a billion dollars in property damage and resulted in multiple murders

00:09:01.080 and suspended the right of self-defense in parts of the country, kick-started a nationwide

00:09:05.400 de-policing effort that made this country far more dangerous. At the same time, though,

00:09:10.920 Democrats are not abandoning BLM because they've adopted some sort of new, coherent,

00:09:16.260 intelligent ideology to replace it. They're not committing themselves to a more responsible

00:09:21.040 platform or anything like that. Instead, they're flailing around in a state of total disarray

00:09:25.980 without any guiding principles whatsoever. They have no leadership, no direction of any kind.

00:09:31.740 We are witnessing anarchy in the Democrat Party after years of lockstep and after years of a very

00:09:37.540 disciplined message. They don't know what their message is anymore. And it's not just the downfall

00:09:42.820 of BLM Plaza that illustrates the chaos that's unfolding. Last night, the left-wing outlet Axios

00:09:48.020 reported that in the wake of Donald Trump's address to Congress, Democrats in Washington are now

00:09:52.980 fighting among themselves about how terribly they came across. Apparently, Democrat leadership in

00:09:58.120 Congress, they didn't want any kind of props to be used, nor did they call for any kind of

00:10:03.180 interruptions or heckling, supposedly. And of course, all throughout Trump's speech, Democrats were

00:10:08.780 waving their little paddles around and making noise and turning their backs to Trump and rushing out of

00:10:14.380 the chamber and all of this kind of thing. So there was a complete breakdown of leadership by all

00:10:19.120 accounts. Axios quotes several Democrat congressmen, including Jared Golden and Tom Suozzi, as saying

00:10:26.100 the outbursts were a major mistake. One Democrat put it this way, not standing for Trump would have

00:10:30.420 been a fine strategy, but you need to separate him from the kid with cancer. Yeah, you think?

00:10:37.260 But that's the way it played out, because the Democrats are totally beholden to the most radical

00:10:41.260 elements of their party. This is ideological capture, and the consequences are a lot more far-reaching

00:10:46.940 that Democrats might like to admit. You know, the issue for them is not simply that voters find their

00:10:51.700 party to be completely unappealing, even though that's obviously a serious problem. The bigger issue

00:10:57.200 for Democrats is that voters are now going back and reassessing how Democrats got to this point. Voters are

00:11:04.260 thinking about everything else Democrats have said over the past decade or so. They're wondering what other

00:11:10.260 scams the party has been running. And that might explain why, according to a recent poll from The

00:11:16.020 Economist and YouGov, only 48% of Americans right now support the nationwide legalization of same-sex

00:11:24.400 marriage. 38% oppose it, and the rest are unsure. So to restate, less than half of adult Americans

00:11:32.780 want same-sex marriage to be recognized nationwide. Among political moderates, support for the nationwide

00:11:39.440 legalization of gay marriage sits at just 51%. Among conservatives, it's down to 20%. And this is from

00:11:46.380 a poll that was conducted just a few days ago, in the first days of March. Even among self-described

00:11:51.340 liberals, support for gay marriage is not unanimous. It's about 84% in that demographic. Now, just three

00:11:58.180 years ago, YouGov measured much stronger support for gay marriage when people were asked the same

00:12:02.820 questions. And a majority of Americans backed it at the time. So in other words, things are now so bad

00:12:09.340 that Democrats are even losing ground on an issue that they thought was settled. You know, they viewed

00:12:15.280 gay marriage as a stepping stone to gender ideology without realizing that the insanity of gender ideology

00:12:21.100 would eventually make people take a closer look at all the steps that got us there. And that was

00:12:27.920 a major tactical error for Democrats. You know, if they had achieved the legalization, the nationwide

00:12:36.480 acceptance of quote-unquote gay marriage, and just stopped there, you know, they'd probably be fine.

00:12:46.000 In fact, they might still be in the White House right now. But they can't stop. Progressivism must always

00:12:54.420 progress like cancer progresses in the same kind of way. They can't stop. They keep going. And

00:13:00.500 eventually it wakes people up to, you know, the reality of the slippery slope. You know, because

00:13:06.340 when it comes to, and when it comes to the culture war, what we're discovering is that even if you think

00:13:11.320 that, well, this argument is settled, no argument is ever really settled. Now, people on our side,

00:13:18.160 conservatives for years thought that the marriage debate was over, that we lost, there's nothing we

00:13:25.440 can do about it. But that's not really true. It's never over. After all, the quote-unquote

00:13:31.760 traditional definition of marriage, which is to say the actual definition of marriage,

00:13:35.900 was settled for thousands of years until it wasn't. The reality is that just as quickly as

00:13:42.780 America was overtaken by the moral panic of BLM and the emotional blackmail of trans activists,

00:13:48.880 we can return to some semblance of sanity. You know, it doesn't take much. What conservatives

00:13:54.940 need to do as quickly as possible is to capitalize on Democrats' weakness, start passing laws that

00:14:00.660 reverse the derangement that's been so dominant for so long. And if conservatives do that, they might

00:14:05.760 be able to drag more concessions out of Democrats than we ever thought possible. After all, no one

00:14:10.620 thought they'd cave on the BLM movement as quickly as they have. I don't think anyone thought you

00:14:15.100 could just take that huge mural, the graffiti off the street, and they would all just kind of shrug

00:14:20.240 their shoulders and say, well, what are you going to do? But that's what happened. And it stands to

00:14:25.300 reason that they can be beaten on gender insanity and voter ID and open borders and all of their other

00:14:31.020 must-have agenda items just as thoroughly. All Republicans have to do now is take advantage of their

00:14:36.800 position of power and apply pressure, just like the congressman from Georgia did. In response,

00:14:43.020 Democrats might howl and stomp their feet and wave paddles around, but in the end, they will lose.

00:14:49.540 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:56.680 History, economics, the great works of literature, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution. Did you study

00:15:00.600 these things in school? Probably not. Or even if you did, maybe it's time for a refresher. Time and

00:15:04.940 technology have changed a lot of things, but they have not changed basic fundamental truths

00:15:08.820 about the world and our place in it. That's why I'm so excited that Hillsdale College is offering

00:15:13.440 more than 40 free online courses in the most important and enduring subjects. You can learn

00:15:17.580 about the works of C.S. Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution,

00:15:21.660 the rise and fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church with

00:15:25.200 Hillsdale College's online courses, all available for free. That's right, for free. I personally

00:15:31.120 recommend you sign up for Marxism, Socialism, and Communism. This brand new online course is unlike

00:15:35.720 anything Hillsdale has produced before. Over the course of six documentary-style episodes, you'll

00:15:39.760 hear from Hillsdale professors of history, politics, and economics as they look at Marx's life and

00:15:44.380 writings, the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union, the atrocities of communist China, and the

00:15:49.640 proliferation of cultural Marxism in America. Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash Walsh to start.

00:16:05.820 dangerous mental health effects, a new study has found. Transgender individuals face heightened

00:16:10.900 psychological distress, including depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation, partly due to stigma

00:16:15.680 and lack of gender affirmation, as stated in the study. Researchers from the University of Texas set

00:16:21.720 out to determine the mental health impacts of transgender people who underwent gender-affirming

00:16:25.740 surgery, quote-unquote. The study focused on 107,583 patients, 18 and over with gender dysphoria,

00:16:34.360 some who underwent surgery, others who did not. And they determined that rates of depression, anxiety,

00:16:41.880 suicidal ideation, and substance use disorders were significantly higher among those who underwent

00:16:47.520 surgery, when it was assessed two years later. Males with surgery had depression rates of 25%

00:16:54.100 compared to males without at 11%, 11.5%. Anxiety rates among that group were 12.8% compared to 2.6%.

00:17:02.680 The same differences were seen among females as those with surgery at 22.9% depression rate

00:17:09.220 compared to 14.6% in the non-surgical group. Interview with neurosurgeon Dr. Brett Osborne says,

00:17:16.460 we're often told that gender-affirming surgery is essential for alleviating gender dysphoria,

00:17:20.980 but what happens when the euphoria fades? The key question remains, is the surgery itself causing

00:17:28.500 distress, or are pre-existing mental health issues driving people toward it? Correlation or causation,

00:17:34.540 no one knows. Oh, well, we know. I mean, any sane person knows. This is not a mystery. The answer is

00:17:41.480 both. You know, the surgery is causing distress when these people realize that they have mangled

00:17:48.920 themselves and mutilated themselves, injured themselves for life, but also the people who go

00:17:57.000 in for the surgery are already very mentally distressed because you wouldn't be wanting a

00:18:02.020 surgery like that if you weren't. So the answer is that does the surgery make people depressed and

00:18:10.040 suicidal? Yes. Were they already depressed and suicidal going in? Yes. So it just causes more

00:18:16.900 of the problem that they already had. It makes everything worse, okay? It's a simple way of putting

00:18:21.640 it. So this is yet another study which proves the obvious, which is that mutilating somebody's body

00:18:28.580 will only make them feel worse. You are not going to help someone's psychological distress

00:18:34.100 by harming their bodies. But let's look at that, the second to last paragraph again, because I want

00:18:42.320 to point something out. And here it is again. We're often told that gender affirming surgery is

00:18:47.280 essential for alleviating gender dysphoria, but what happens when the euphoria fades? There's that word

00:18:53.640 euphoria. And this is a thing that trans identified people talk about a lot. That's why the doctor,

00:18:59.340 you know, uses that term. They talk about feeling gender euphoria. So they, you know, there's gender

00:19:06.820 dysphoria, or you don't feel like you're in, you know, like you're in the right body or whatever.

00:19:13.660 But then the answer to that, this term that trans activists have come up with is gender euphoria.

00:19:20.800 And what the hell is that? Well, gender euphoria is what they experience when they are affirmed in their

00:19:28.720 chosen gender. The Trevor Project defines it this way. Trevor Project, obviously being a radically

00:19:33.640 far-left gay organization, defines gender euphoria this way. Gender euphoria is defined as satisfaction

00:19:39.780 or joy caused when one's gendered experience aligns with their gender identity. So that's gender euphoria.

00:19:49.120 Well, here's a little tip. Okay. Here's a, here's a pro tip. If you've ever experienced euphoria about

00:20:00.060 being a woman, it means that you're not a woman. Okay. If you've ever experienced euphoria about being

00:20:06.860 a man, it means you're not a man because no actual woman ever wakes up in the morning feeling euphoric

00:20:14.200 about the simple facts of being a woman. Like I guarantee that never happens.

00:20:20.860 A woman might be happy that she's a woman. She might be comfortable and, and, and content in

00:20:25.640 her own skin, hopefully, but euphoric? No, that's, that's not real. That doesn't, um, my wife is a

00:20:32.980 very cheerful person, but I've never walked into a room and asked her why she's so cheerful. And she says,

00:20:37.380 because I'm a woman, I'm overjoyed to be a woman. Okay. If she said that, I would assume she'd gone

00:20:44.320 insane. Uh, because that's just insane. Only an insane person would say that. And this is a real

00:20:50.820 problem for the trans side because it's, it's a problem because it undermines their whole premise.

00:20:55.780 Right? You know, a man says that he's really a woman because he feels like one inside or whatever.

00:21:02.700 And except that if he feels euphoric about supposedly being a woman, well, that, but that,

00:21:10.000 that's not what women feel like. That's, that's, you are actually not having the internal experience

00:21:15.240 of a woman. That's not a womanly feeling, right? That's not the internal experience of being a woman.

00:21:21.820 Now I'm not a woman either. So, so any woman can feel free to correct me, but, uh, so I guess I'll

00:21:27.820 just throw this out as a question for any women in the audience. Do you walk around constantly euphoric

00:21:33.320 over the fact that you're a woman? Uh, I can say again, as a man, that that's, that's not the

00:21:39.960 experience of being a man. I'm happy to be a man. I'm happy with who I am. I'm, I'm pleased to be who

00:21:45.740 I am. You know, uh, I don't, I don't think about it much. You know, I don't walk around constantly

00:21:50.480 obsessing over my own identity in that, in that way, but it's not a cause for euphoria. Um, and,

00:21:59.100 um, and, but, but that is, in this, it kind of gives the game away. Uh, when, when transactivists

00:22:10.900 talk about this, the feeling of euphoria, because what they are revealing is that, you know, when,

00:22:18.300 when the man identifies as a woman, it's, it's, it's not, obviously he's not really a woman

00:22:24.260 and it's not even that he thinks that he is. Like we talk about this and we say, well, a trans,

00:22:31.300 a quote unquote trans woman is a man who thinks he's a woman. Um, that might be the case in a small,

00:22:37.080 that might be true in a small minority of cases, but I think in the majority of cases,

00:22:40.300 that's not even true. They don't actually think that they're the man most of the time doesn't

00:22:44.360 think he's a woman. Um, rather he gets a, he gets a thrill out of being perceived as a woman

00:22:56.140 or out of playing the part of him. He gets a, he gets a thrill out of it. That's the euphoria.

00:23:02.180 And so when he identifies as a woman and wears the, the women's clothes and all that,

00:23:08.600 he's not trying to align his, uh, outward appearance with his inner identity or whatever

00:23:16.360 nonsense, he's actually chasing this thrill that he gets out of presenting this way in public.

00:23:23.940 Um, it, so that, that, which is just a, a long way of saying that it's, we're talking about a fetish.

00:23:30.940 Um, staying on this general topic, the LA times has this article, transgender Americans weigh

00:23:37.960 leaving us over Trump's policies. Some already have, that's the headline. And this is an article

00:23:43.900 about, uh, as the headline suggests, trans identified Americans, uh, fleeing the United States.

00:23:49.580 And, um, you know, of course this is, this is just about the least ominous threat that I've ever heard.

00:23:56.780 You know, when it, when the trans activists say, well, if you guys, I'm going to leave.

00:24:03.540 Okay. If you, if you keep doing this, I'm, we're leaving.

00:24:08.000 This is like, uh, when we, we were recently on a long car trip, um, a little while ago.

00:24:13.240 And one of my kids kept getting in trouble for fighting with the other kids.

00:24:17.000 And I told him to stop. And, and he said, well, well, fine. I get in trouble every time I talk.

00:24:22.880 Maybe I'll just stop talking. And I'm like, okay, that sounds like a great plan. Actually.

00:24:30.320 That's a wonderful plan. Maybe everyone should stop talking. How about that?

00:24:34.880 Um, so you mean it as a threat, but it has exactly the opposite effects. And it's kind of on a larger

00:24:40.720 scale. It's the same kind of thing here. Trans people are threatening to leave. They say that if

00:24:44.900 this alleged prosecution or persecution rather doesn't stop, eventually there won't be any trans

00:24:49.260 people left in the country because they're all going to leave. And the rest of America says,

00:24:53.360 okay, sounds like a plan. Yeah. It works out best for all of us. Yeah. Go just go to Canada or

00:24:59.880 whatever. They're there. They'll be happy to have you. Um, so I'm not going to bother reading most of

00:25:04.900 this article, but I do want to highlight this, especially delusional part. Um, here's what it

00:25:10.400 says. Determining how many transgender Americans are considering fleeing or have already fled is

00:25:16.480 difficult though. LGBTQ plus and immigration advocates, travel advisors, and queer families

00:25:21.760 told the times that the impulse is widespread in their networks. A recent Gallup poll found about

00:25:27.900 1.3% of us adults identify as transgender. Um, KD said he had been preparing to leave since Trump won

00:25:35.840 three days after the election. He gave up his apartment to save more money in late December.

00:25:39.800 He obtained an updated passport, but he also has doubts. KD said he has realized that he did not do

00:25:45.940 enough homework on how to leave, which is now seems less straightforward. He said that, uh, he has,

00:25:51.340 uh, he's thought a lot about the Holocaust and other genocides and his view that the Trump

00:25:55.860 administration is trying to erase transgender people. He told himself he needed to draw a line

00:26:00.620 in the sand for when he must leave lest he regret it. Yes. The Holocaust telling a man that he can't

00:26:09.600 list himself as a woman on his passport is akin to the Holocaust. And this is a claim that the LA Times

00:26:18.240 repeats uncritically. You know, it's just pure narcissism. I cannot think, I mean, a minor paperwork

00:26:27.320 inconvenience is the Holocaust. This is like if I got a speeding ticket and claimed that I was a Holocaust

00:26:35.380 survivor. Okay. It's like, if I, if I said to you, I'm a Holocaust survivor and you said, you look a

00:26:41.540 little young for that. And I said, well, no, cause I just, I got a speeding ticket. I was going, I was

00:26:45.440 going 34 and a 25 that gave me a speeding ticket. You know, now I know how they must've felt in

00:26:50.580 Auschwitz. Only this is much worse because it actually is unreasonable to ticket someone for going

00:26:56.300 nine miles over the limit. In my opinion, forcing a man to list himself as a man on his legal documents

00:27:02.080 is not unreasonable. That is the very definition of reasonable. But we know why trans people call

00:27:08.680 this a genocide. Well, it's because they, you know, again, they are narcissists. They believe that

00:27:14.760 any inconvenience, any slight misfortune, anything they have to endure that they don't want to endure

00:27:20.340 is automatically a great tragedy. It's just kind of this pathological self-obsession. That's part of

00:27:25.680 the other part is that as always their self-identity, their perception of themselves as the opposite

00:27:33.880 sex depends entirely on external validation. A man who identifies as a woman, again, doesn't really

00:27:42.720 believe that he is one in most cases. In order to prop up this precarious self-identity, he needs the

00:27:49.560 world outside of him to tell him that he is the thing that he, in fact, knows he's not. And when

00:27:57.000 the world fails to affirm his false claims about himself, when the whole sort of internal house of

00:28:04.880 cards starts to crumble and he loses his female self-identity, he loses his perception of himself

00:28:11.060 as a her, his female self, which was never real to begin with, vanishes from his mind and that's the

00:28:21.800 genocide, okay? That's what they mean by genocide. They mean you're making it harder for me to see

00:28:28.720 myself as a thing that I'm not. So it's a genocide. It's like a genocide of imaginary friends. That's

00:28:38.500 that's basically what they're claiming. Okay, we have one more reaction to the Trump speech. This is

00:28:45.600 Jasmine Crockett after the speech and I didn't, I didn't see this video until this morning and I still, I

00:28:52.580 wish that I still had not seen it, but she was explaining why she walked out alongside a group of other

00:28:58.860 lawmakers and, well, just listen. He up there, he's doing all kinds of nonsense and bullshit.

00:29:08.500 Let me just be real. And we ain't gonna sit for that. We wouldn't, you know, we, we showed up and if

00:29:14.600 he had some sense, then maybe we would have been about that life, but y'all know he ain't got no

00:29:18.220 sense. So please give some love. Um, this took a little bit of coordinating to do for sure. We got

00:29:24.000 some cool shirts. We got, we got Madam Williams who just happens to have the honorary seat. It's not

00:29:32.200 even honorary because she holding it down y'all, but the legend himself, John Lewis, that is the seat

00:29:38.340 in which she currently serves. So she honored his legacy. This is the message that she wanted to send

00:29:43.680 today. We've got my sis, Andrea Salinas. And she kept it real simple. Resist. That's what we about.

00:29:51.780 Where's Maxwell? We got Max. No Kings live here. Okay. Yeah. We sent in a message. We sent in a message.

00:30:00.900 We've got president Musk. Y'all y'all saw the camera just flashed to him, you know, cause this is really

00:30:08.040 his administration. And we got another resist. Listen, and mine is, uh, let me get you jazz.

00:30:14.400 Let me get you jazz. Shirley Chisholm, the ultimate unbought and unbossed. That's what's Jasmine

00:30:19.560 crying. Um, yeah. Okay. We weren't going to sit, sit for that, for that. We not about that life.

00:30:30.140 That's a, that's a sitting member of Congress. We not about that life. But quotes, put that in quotes.

00:30:34.840 Uh, that's, uh, that's, that's a quote that will live. We not about that life.

00:30:45.120 Representative Jasmine Crockett, United States Congresswoman.

00:30:50.320 Look, the, you know, the idiocracy comparisons have been made so many times that they're just

00:30:55.920 not even interesting anymore. But I feel the need to point out that this is, I mean, this

00:31:02.120 is literally idiocracy. This is how the politicians in that movie speak. This, I mean, this is it.

00:31:10.460 We're here. 20 years ago, it was considered comically ridiculous that members of Congress

00:31:16.180 would use Ebonics. Um, in fact, it was so absurd. It was so outrageous that Mike Judge imagined

00:31:23.900 it would take 500 years to get to this point. That's how far-fetched it was 20 years ago.

00:31:32.540 And now we're here. And I couldn't help but thinking it sitting, sitting, thinking about

00:31:36.920 this sitting in the room. Um, you know, that's, there's the hilarious scene, which is becoming

00:31:42.440 less and less hilarious and more just a documentary in idiocracy of the, of the state of the union,

00:31:47.600 you know, in this, um, dystopian world, 500 years in the future where everybody's a moron.

00:31:54.040 And, um, I'm watching the state of the union and at least when it comes, because in that scene,

00:32:00.960 you've got the, uh, the, the crowd, which they're all members of Congress and they're just shouting

00:32:07.080 and heckling through the whole speech and, uh, and shouting in like with Ebonics, you know, and,

00:32:13.240 and, uh, uh, uh, acting like they're at a rap concert or something. And, you know, when you're

00:32:19.120 in the room for this, that's what they were doing. That actually happened. It is the scene.

00:32:27.160 Uh, the only thing we didn't get is, you know, cause in the movie, President Camacho pulls out

00:32:31.160 a machine gun and shoots it, you know, into the sky to get everyone's attention. We didn't get that

00:32:36.720 from Trump, but we got most of the rest of it. And in fact, this is worse. It is, it is,

00:32:43.080 it is actually worse than idiocracy in certain ways, because in that movie, there are no smart

00:32:51.740 people left in the world. That's the whole premise that the globe is populated exclusively by idiots

00:32:57.480 and Luke Wilson's character has like a 100 IQ or something. And, but he's the smartest guy on earth

00:33:03.360 because everyone else is so dumb. So, you know, so in that world, it stands to reason that

00:33:10.100 President Camacho and the members of Congress are actually smart in comparison to everybody else.

00:33:17.820 You know, the people of the United States in the year 2,500 are, you know, they actually made

00:33:24.740 reasonable decisions in the voting booth and they voted in these morons, but they're, you know,

00:33:30.440 smart and competent people in comparison to everybody else. But that's not the case for us.

00:33:35.500 Actually, you know, there, there are plenty of smart and competent people in this country.

00:33:43.220 Plenty of them. Jasmine Crockett is an unintelligible moron in comparison to most people

00:33:51.120 in the country. It's not like national IQ levels have plummeted so drastically that now Crockett is

00:33:59.460 the best we can do. Now, IQ levels have dipped a little bit, I think, if you look at the trends.

00:34:07.260 In fact, maybe they've dipped more than a little bit, but, but not by that much, not by so much that

00:34:13.720 these people are now, well, yeah, look, they're the best and brightest. They're, they're not great,

00:34:20.460 but they're the best we can do. That's not the case. Even in Jasmine Crockett's district, I just, I, I can't

00:34:29.760 believe that she's anywhere close to the most competent or qualified person. And, and yet she was still

00:34:41.040 elected to office. So I don't know what is worse. What's worse? Is it, is it worse to have incompetent

00:34:48.360 morons representing us in Congress because everyone is so stupid that they're the best we could do?

00:34:55.560 Or is it worse when actually there's a lot of smart people and competent people, but we are still

00:35:00.540 electing Jasmine Crockett? I don't know. I think that it's, I think, I think the latter is the worst

00:35:07.700 scenario. And that's, that's kind of where we are. So we're at, it's a, it's an idiocracy by choice

00:35:14.400 in a lot of ways. All right. Well, before I move on, we get to the comment section and I did, I, you

00:35:25.740 know, I, I, I need to, I feel that I need to address this. I don't need to, but I'm going to,

00:35:31.660 because I have to, I have to come to the defense of somebody near and dear to me. Uh, this is not a

00:35:38.000 headline at all, but it has to be addressed. So here we are. I have to defend someone, someone that

00:35:43.300 I greatly admire and respect, someone that, uh, who is once again being cruelly attacked with

00:35:48.720 spurious, spurious and malicious accusations. Um, somebody who doesn't deserve that kind of treatment.

00:35:55.760 And that person is of course me that I want to defend because, you know, as you know, as I just

00:36:02.580 mentioned, I was able to attend Trump's joint session, uh, uh, you know, speech on Tuesday on

00:36:08.380 the invitation of a speaker, Mike Johnson, very honored to attend a historic event. Um, and this

00:36:14.380 one, you know, state of union addresses usually quite long and boring. And this one was definitely

00:36:18.840 long. I mean, it was a, a short Trump speech is 75 minutes. This was long by his standards.

00:36:25.760 But, um, but it wasn't boring. It was a great speech and it was also entertaining, you know,

00:36:30.680 mostly because of the clown, the circus performance being put on by the Democrats in the room.

00:36:36.660 So, you know, it was great. And, and, uh, and I, I left the speech feeling good about it.

00:36:42.720 My joy was stolen from me though, later that night when I finally got back on, on X, uh, because

00:36:50.060 they confiscate your phones when you go in. So, uh, I wasn't, it was quite tragic. I wasn't able to

00:36:55.720 do any tweeting for about two hours and that was hard enough. But, uh, the daily wire had posted a

00:37:02.320 photo of me and Ben and the speaker, uh, which we'll put up on the screen so you can see it.

00:37:09.020 And, you know, I think it was a fine photo. I think it's a nice photo. Nothing wrong with the

00:37:12.880 photo. I would have thought. And there were a lot of comments on this photo, like many, many comments.

00:37:18.580 And many of them were focused on my physical appearance. Uh, now some of the comments were,

00:37:26.300 were noting the fact that I am a gigantically tall beast of a man, probably eight feet tall even,

00:37:31.680 which yes, guilty. I mean, that is true. But many of the others were focused on my shoes

00:37:36.900 and there were like dozens, if not hundreds comments like, damn Matt, buy some new shoes,

00:37:44.760 bro. You've got money. And tell me, tell Matt to get a shoe shine. And why are Matt's boots so

00:37:50.040 scuffed? And, um, Matt, those are the most hideous shoes I've ever seen anyone wear with a suit.

00:37:57.100 Many other comments on my mangled scuffed, dirty boots, uh, just roasting me for my boots. And this

00:38:03.120 one I found particularly offensive. Somebody tweeted, how did Matt wind up wearing the shoes Andy

00:38:09.460 Dufresne left in the warden safe? Just really uncalled for. I've, I've never been shoe shamed

00:38:16.120 to this extent in my entire life. And it was very hurtful. And, uh, and, you know,

00:38:22.340 don't judge a man for his footwear until you've walked a mile in his shoes. And as you could tell,

00:38:28.320 I've walked many miles in these shoes through mud and snow and ice and lava apparently. But here's the

00:38:35.720 thing. Here's, so here's what happened. And, and you would know this if you asked rather than just

00:38:40.300 jumping right to the body shaming. So I had a, I had black dress shoes to wear, uh, with my suit.

00:38:47.220 The problem is that I forgot my black belt. So this was, this is like a class, this is a classic

00:38:53.280 fashion, uh, dilemma that I was in. It was a real, it was a real serious, a kind of a crisis.

00:38:59.340 And I had, I knew I had three options. And one option is, well, I'll just wear no belt.

00:39:03.160 But then I look only half dressed. I can't do that. Plus I know that I'm gonna have to be

00:39:07.460 standing up a lot, be like standing and sitting a lot doing this, uh, throughout the speech.

00:39:12.500 If I do that, imagine I do that and my like pants fall down or something in the halls of Congress.

00:39:17.940 I can't, I can't risk that. You can't survive that. Your career doesn't, doesn't survive that.

00:39:23.020 Um, so I couldn't do that. Uh, I couldn't wear a brown belt and black shoes because like,

00:39:29.640 I don't know much about fashion. I, the only thing I know, like the only fashion rule I know

00:39:33.800 is that you cannot wear a brown belt and black shoes. That I know. That's like the fashion police

00:39:39.960 will, that's summary execution by the fashion police. And so that left me with option C, which

00:39:45.140 was to just wear my brown belt with brown shoes. And you know what I said to myself? This is the

00:39:49.020 lesson. I said to myself as I was leaving the hotel, I just, I wore the boots and I said,

00:39:55.620 it'll be fine. Like no one's going to notice. No one's going to know. Like, yeah, the boots

00:39:59.640 are a little scuffed. They don't really matter, but no one's going to care. And if anyone does

00:40:03.460 notice, they'll be understanding. They'll probably know that, okay, there's some kind of mistake

00:40:06.820 was made and it'll be fine. But it wasn't, it was not fine. I was mocked ruthlessly by hundreds of

00:40:13.460 people. It's exactly what you worry will happen is what happened. And, uh, so this is a lesson.

00:40:18.620 This is a lesson for all of us, which is that whatever it is that you're self-conscious

00:40:25.180 about, whatever your physical flaws, just know that everyone notices it and they are

00:40:32.480 judging you for it. They are in fact thinking all of the negative thoughts that you're afraid

00:40:38.240 they're thinking. Of course, like you notice it about yourself. So of course everyone else

00:40:44.260 does. And they are thinking all of those things and they're making fun of you behind your back

00:40:49.320 or in, or on, on the internet. It's an important lesson. Just keep that in mind. Next time you go

00:40:56.180 out in public, uh, let's get to the comment section. Tax season is here again and the IRS is not messing

00:41:12.700 around in 2025. Maybe you've got some unfiled returns, collecting dust, or you're sitting on

00:41:17.100 a pile of back taxes. That's giving you night sweats with April 15th, breathing down your neck.

00:41:21.520 It's tempting to just walk into the woods alone, never look back and hope it all goes away. But

00:41:25.560 here's the thing trying to ghost the IRS. Well, that's like trying to outrun a bear spoiler alert.

00:41:30.300 It does not end well for you. That's why you should let tax network USA deal with the headache.

00:41:35.480 These folks aren't your average tax people there. They've got a direct line to the IRS,

00:41:39.420 which apparently is a thing. And they know exactly who to talk to. Whether you're in the

00:41:43.560 hole for 10 K or 10 mil, they've got tricks up their sleeves that actually work. They've already

00:41:48.840 sorted out over a billion dollars in tax debt. So they must be doing something right. Talk with

00:41:52.520 one of their strategists today. It's free. Stop the threatening letters. Stop looking over your

00:41:56.460 shoulder and protect yourself from property seizures and bank levies. Don't let the IRS control

00:42:01.080 your future. Call 1-800-958-1000 or visit tnusa.com slash Walsh. April 15th, it's just around the

00:42:07.140 corner. So act now before the IRS acts first. Do they really want to never be elected again?

00:42:12.960 I hope they keep it up. I feel exactly the same way. I mean, that was my, that's, that's all I could

00:42:17.500 think throughout the whole speech. The Democrat, you know, performance is this is fantastic. This is

00:42:25.640 great. This is a wonderful strategy. I hope, please continue. Please keep doing this.

00:42:30.540 You know, 10 out of 10 is how I rate the performance. It's just great.

00:42:41.680 When Matt Walsh speaks for this long without tossing in a joke or appropriate sarcasm and is

00:42:45.360 100% focused on making a statement, it carries a ton of gravity. Thank you, Matt, for all you've

00:42:49.300 done to help this country. And of course, help us laugh at ourselves sometimes as well. Well,

00:42:53.840 you know, I will say originally I was going to go, you know, I had the monologue yesterday on the

00:42:57.220 speech and I was going to go into a whole thing in the middle of the monologue about how people

00:43:02.160 were making fun of my shoes. And, but I decided not to do that. And I saved that for today.

00:43:10.300 Let's see.

00:43:13.380 So liberal adults are adolescents in perpetuity and the youth are slowly turning conservative.

00:43:17.940 That tells you all you need to know. The sun also rises. Yeah, that is, that is the,

00:43:23.440 that's the dynamic right now. And that's the, as we see this kind of generational shift

00:43:29.040 that you notice, you know, not just in politics, but I was thinking about this the other day

00:43:33.960 when I was at church that, and this is, you know, church going, you're church going Christian.

00:43:40.280 You've probably noticed this yourself and certain, well, I can say this is definitely the dynamic in

00:43:46.480 the Catholic church at least, is that when you go into a Catholic church and you see, if it's a church

00:43:54.080 you've never been to before and you see the priest, if it's an older priest, then you sort of can guess

00:44:03.580 right away that this is going to be, this is a liberal church and you're going to get a pretty liberal

00:44:08.680 message in the sermon. But if you see a younger priest, you know that 90% of the time, this is

00:44:17.380 going to be a very conservative church and a conservative message in the, in the sermon.

00:44:24.900 The newest Secret Service agent brought tears to my eyes. Imagine the level of hate it takes to

00:44:28.720 coldly ignore his wonderful story. The young man's face, they showed him in the world what,

00:44:33.980 what true evil looks like. Yeah, that, that one will really live in infamy.

00:44:38.680 Um, it's such an easy thing to clap for, obviously, or at least it should be. And in fact, moments like

00:44:46.480 that, if the Democrats were smart, which I'm, I'm glad they weren't, but that's a gift to the

00:44:51.600 Democrats. You know, imagine if they had been sitting on their hands, not applauding anything

00:44:56.300 for most of the speech, but then in that moment they had erupted in raucous applause and gave the

00:45:04.800 kid a, you know, this huge standing ovation. That would show that, that, um, that, that would

00:45:11.700 make them look like human beings. And it would show they have some kind of empathy and they have souls,

00:45:17.780 which is like good politically to portray yourself that way. Um, it would also give more weight to the

00:45:26.700 times when they're not standing up and applauding. Because one of the many problems with just not

00:45:32.000 standing up and applauding at all is that it doesn't, now it doesn't mean anything. There's

00:45:35.940 no real statement being made. You've just made it clear. You're not going to stand at all, no matter

00:45:39.020 what he says, as Trump himself said in the speech. But you could actually give the, the symbolism of

00:45:46.120 not applauding and not standing could have a little bit of weight. If you did stand up and applaud in

00:45:53.300 these really easy moments where any person with a soul would be applauding, but they were too dumb

00:46:00.400 for that. And, uh, thank God, thank God that they were. If you're not a Daily Wire Plus member,

00:46:27.280 Now let's get to our daily cancellation. During his speech to the joint session of Congress on

00:46:37.360 Tuesday, Donald Trump touted his executive order banning men from playing in women's sports. He

00:46:41.320 also highlighted just a few, a few of many examples of women being harmed by the inclusion of trans

00:46:46.340 identified males in their sports league. Uh, one of the victims is a young lady named Peyton McNabb,

00:46:51.500 who had been specially invited by the president. He gave her a shout out during the speech.

00:46:56.280 And let's see that again.

00:46:58.960 I also signed an executive order to ban men from playing in women's sports.

00:47:06.280 Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all-star high school athlete, one of the best,

00:47:25.300 preparing for a future in college sports. But when her girls volleyball match was invaded by a male,

00:47:32.060 he smashed the ball so hard in Peyton's face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her

00:47:41.000 right side and ending her athletic career. It was a shot like she's never seen before.

00:47:48.580 She's never seen anything like it. Peyton is here tonight in the gallery.

00:47:53.180 And Peyton, from now on, schools will kick the men off the girls team or they will lose all federal funding.

00:48:00.180 So it was a great moment. A moment highlighting a girl who is not or never intended to be a conservative activist.

00:48:26.200 She's just a girl who wanted to play volleyball, but ended up severely injured in the process.

00:48:32.520 Now, the video of the injury is quite gruesome. And Trump's rapid response team tweeted it out on Tuesday night as Trump was talking about it.

00:48:38.940 And that's what provoked a response from a woman named Emma Vigeland.

00:48:43.140 If you've never heard of Emma, which would be understandable, most people have never heard of her,

00:48:46.780 but she is a far-left talking head who co-hosts a YouTube show called The Majority Report alongside somebody named Sam Seder.

00:48:54.440 Now, their show is irrelevant. Nobody cares about it. Nobody talks about it. It has no cultural impact at all.

00:48:59.440 The only reason that I know of their existence personally is that they have done approximately

00:49:03.620 10,000 segments about me constantly begging for my attention.

00:49:09.300 And now I'm finally giving them a little bit of attention, which I'm sure fills them with indescribable glee.

00:49:14.200 So I'm hesitant to even talk about this because I don't really want to give this pathetic, irrelevant woman

00:49:19.200 the attention she desperately craves. But it also exposes an essential truth about the pro-trans side.

00:49:24.600 So I think it's worth discussing for that reason.

00:49:27.800 So yesterday, in response to the video of a teenage girl being severely injured during a volleyball match,

00:49:33.620 Emma posted this. Very simple response. She wrote,

00:49:37.840 ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. This is Emma laughing hysterically at a video of a girl

00:49:44.660 sustaining a brain injury at the hands of a male athlete. To be clear again, Peyton McNabb,

00:49:50.820 at the time when this injury happened, was not an activist. She was not a political person.

00:49:55.620 She was just a girl playing volleyball. It's not like Emma's laughing because in her mind,

00:50:00.940 some conservative activists got their comeuppance, you know, it's not like this is a video of Robbie

00:50:05.460 Starbuck slipping on a banana peel or me falling down the steps. And I'm quite sure that that would

00:50:10.740 provoke laughter from Emma and her fellow leftists. Justifiably, in fact, that would be that would be

00:50:14.580 kind of funny, I have to admit. This is different. This is a 17 year old high school student receiving

00:50:19.080 a violent blow to the head and getting seriously injured in the process. Emma finds that hysterically

00:50:25.760 funny. She is sent into convulsive fits of laughter at the sight of a trans male injuring

00:50:31.420 a young girl. Now, it's really no surprise. This is not someone who is terribly thoughtful or

00:50:37.920 intelligent when it comes to this issue or any issue. Here she is on her show a little while

00:50:42.480 ago articulating her case for allowing men to compete against women. And I couldn't find the

00:50:47.360 original video on Emma's channel. So I'm pulling this from this, this clip from a video on the channel

00:50:52.200 actual justice warrior, which you should check out to hear his take on this as well.

00:50:57.180 Here is Emma. I'm actually not bad about this. I'm 100% right on this. I don't give a shit about

00:51:03.600 the scientific explanations. People, if they identify as a woman, get to compete in sports.

00:51:07.480 If that's not fair in the short term for a variety of little competitions, I don't give a

00:51:12.080 I don't give a because the societal interests of including trans people in society trumps stupid

00:51:17.820 competition. Full stop. So I'm right about this. You're wrong about this.

00:51:22.200 She doesn't give a damn about the scientific explanation. She also doesn't care about fairness

00:51:28.220 in sports. She's on the record saying that neither science nor fairness matter to her.

00:51:34.720 By the way, the woman who laughs at the idea of fairness in sports and calls them stupid little

00:51:38.800 competitions did just recently attempt to launch her own sports network, ESVN, the Emma Sports

00:51:45.680 Viglin Network, which I'm pretty sure is not meant to be a joke, was launched on YouTube almost

00:51:51.300 three years ago. It currently has 16,000 subscribers. That's one six in three years.

00:51:56.260 And I guess now we know why her sports network flopped. Well, it flopped because she's a miserable,

00:52:02.540 shrieking, humorless nag. And also because nobody wants to hear sports analysis from somebody who

00:52:07.600 thinks that sports are stupid little competitions. I mean, that's like me starting a channel for anime

00:52:12.920 reviews. Although if I did, I guarantee I'd get more than 16,000 subs in three years. That's just

00:52:19.060 humiliating. But in any case, there isn't much that can be said to debunk Emma's position on the

00:52:23.840 trans sports topic. She's already stated up front that science and fairness are irrelevant.

00:52:30.280 So it's like trying to discuss the solution to a math equation with somebody who declares at the

00:52:35.640 outset that the basic rules of arithmetic don't matter. Like if that's the case, there's nothing to talk

00:52:41.340 about it. It's like, you might as well be arguing with a schizophrenic who thinks that he's the,

00:52:44.680 he's an Egyptian Pharaoh in the year 2000 BC. This is somebody who has completely divorced herself

00:52:50.120 from reality. You can't debate her because debating requires that both parties exist in the same

00:52:56.860 universe, if not, you know, preferably the same planet. But Emma lives in a fantasy universe of her

00:53:02.920 own making where the laws of science are suspended and superseded by the desires of trans people.

00:53:08.060 The only thing that matters to Emma, and she's clear about this, is how a trans person feels.

00:53:18.180 The question of whether trans-identified males should compete against women is to her

00:53:22.000 not a scientific question, not a question of fairness, or a question of common sense. It is a

00:53:28.580 question about feelings. And specifically, the question is this, will it make the trans male feel

00:53:34.500 good to compete against women? If so, he should. The end. The feelings of everybody else involved,

00:53:42.780 they don't matter either. The only thing that matters in the entire world is how trans people feel.

00:53:50.160 That is the overriding concern. It is the only concern. That was her argument. This is how she sees the

00:53:57.140 world. I'm not making a straw man of her position. It's what she actually just said.

00:54:00.720 And it does make sense to the extent that there is any sense to be made of Emma's reaction to that

00:54:07.480 video of Peyton being injured. Trans-identified males very often get a thrill out of intimidating

00:54:12.640 and dominating women. At the very least, they obviously don't care how women feel or about

00:54:17.120 the harm they cause. The only thing Emma cares about is how the trans person feels. And she knows that

00:54:23.640 the trans athlete in that video doesn't care that he injured Peyton and may in fact get a thrill out of

00:54:28.960 it. So to Emma, that means the video is wonderful and heartwarming and even hilarious.

00:54:35.720 This is the dark heart of trans activism. It is fueled not just by hostility to truth and common

00:54:40.840 sense, but also by a deep cruelty. There is a total disregard for the harm done to others and even a

00:54:47.100 pleasure, a euphoria in causing that harm. This is what's bubbling not very deep beneath the surface of a

00:54:53.640 trans activist psyche. It's what's going on inside Emma's mind also. Now, why is that? I mean, Emma is

00:55:01.520 not trans as far as I know. Why would she disgrace and discredit herself by disavowing science in favor

00:55:08.520 of men in women's clothes? Like, what do you get out of this? Why would she so openly advertise her own

00:55:16.080 sociopathy by laughing at the image of a teenage girl sustaining a brain injury? What does she get

00:55:23.760 out of it? Really? I mean, well, it's kind of hard to say. Maybe she just really dislikes herself and

00:55:29.720 that would be understandable. There's a whole lot to dislike. Maybe this is all nothing but another

00:55:34.660 desperate plea for attention. Maybe it's a radical ploy to get her failing sports network off the ground.

00:55:39.860 Maybe she's just very, very, very stupid. We can't know for sure. Well, that last one, we do know for

00:55:46.920 sure. But as for the others, there's no way to tell. All we know is that Emma is an ever-dwindling

00:55:51.900 minority on this issue. Her side is losing badly. And it gets worse for them every day.

00:55:58.380 And the more that they put their psychotic indifference to science, common sense, and basic

00:56:02.900 human decency on display, the more they will lose. Which is why I'm glad that Emma posted this tweet.

00:56:09.860 Ironically, it will prove to be the most relevant and influential thing she's ever done.

00:56:14.220 The only relevant and influential thing she's ever done or ever will do.

00:56:18.180 She's helped to remind 80% of Americans why they oppose men and women's sports.

00:56:23.080 And she's caused the other 20% to question whether they really want to be aligned with an imbecile

00:56:28.700 like this. That's the service she's provided the country. And now the country will go back to

00:56:35.320 forgetting that she exists. And that is why Emma of Eagland is today canceled. That'll do it for the

00:56:42.980 show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
