The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 731 - Don’t Reform The Public School System. Destroy It.

00:00:00.040 Today on the Matt Wall Show, in a disturbing Zoom video, a public school teacher tells other teachers that it's their moral duty to brainwash kids into critical race theory. 0.78

00:00:08.580 In fact, if they don't brainwash kids, they're no better than sexual abusers, she says.

00:00:12.480 And this kind of madness is all over the school system, which raises the question I've asked many times, when are we going to abandon the system entirely, if not now, when?

00:00:19.420 We'll talk about that.

00:00:20.100 Also, five headlines, including the defund the police proponent who ended up having to call the police himself after some kid stole his car, which is pretty great.

00:00:27.560 And Caitlyn Jenner, in a shocking turn of events, flip-flops and comes out in favor now of males and female sports. 1.00

00:00:33.640 Plus, a woman writes to Slate asking what to do about her husband, who won't take his mask off at all, ever, even while being intimate.

00:00:42.840 In our daily cancellation, I will defend myself against the gay news publication that is currently trying to cancel and deplatform me, so a little bit of a reverse cancellation will happen today.

00:00:51.520 That's always exciting.

00:00:52.300 All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:57.560 Finally getting into the summer months.

00:01:04.940 The weather is nice.

00:01:05.940 Not weather isn't very nice today here anyway, but generally it is.

00:01:10.120 And so how do you want to spend your time this spring and summer?

00:01:13.560 Do you want to spend it in an auto parts store, wandering around looking for auto parts?

00:01:17.260 I don't think anyone does.

00:01:18.220 It's not anyone's idea of a great time.

00:01:19.620 At least it's not mine.

00:01:20.300 That's why you need rockauto.com.

00:01:21.680 Rockauto.com is so much easier, also more enjoyable than walking into an auto parts store.

00:01:27.760 And the thing is, when you get there, they might not have what you need in stock.

00:01:31.340 They've got to order it online.

00:01:32.740 Why go through that whole rigmarole?

00:01:34.340 Rockauto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market will bear.

00:01:39.440 And basically, their question is, why spend up to twice as much on the same parts and for a worse selection?

00:01:46.320 There's no reason to do that.

00:01:47.620 They're a family business.

00:01:48.280 They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:01:51.000 So go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. 0.99

00:01:55.060 The catalog is unique and very easy to navigate, even for an absolute moron like myself. 0.98

00:02:00.460 So I know that you'll do just fine. 0.97

00:02:02.160 Quickly see all the parts available.

00:02:04.060 And so again, go to rockauto.com right now.

00:02:06.680 See all the parts available for your car or truck.

00:02:08.620 And as always, write Walsh in there.

00:02:09.920 How did you hear about us, Box?

00:02:11.220 So they know that we sent you.

00:02:13.720 There is one question that's often posed to me.

00:02:16.100 I'm asked, what can we do?

00:02:17.880 The culture is in bad shape. 0.97

00:02:19.280 Lunatics are running the asylum. 0.94

00:02:20.600 Everything's falling apart.

00:02:21.760 Civilization is collapsing around us.

00:02:23.460 Darkness covers the land.

00:02:24.940 The eye of Sauron gazes down at us.

00:02:26.960 What can we do about it?

00:02:27.780 What's the solution?

00:02:28.980 And I'm tempted to say sometimes that we should just pop open a beach chair, pour some whiskey,

00:02:33.040 watch the apocalypse unfold.

00:02:34.740 That would be the easiest and perhaps most enjoyable way to address the problem.

00:02:39.000 But it would also be despair.

00:02:40.800 It would be giving up on the world, on our families, on ourselves.

00:02:44.160 And so we can't do that.

00:02:45.280 Or at least I can't do that.

00:02:46.580 Not yet anyway.

00:02:47.820 So what's the real solution?

00:02:49.980 Well, first, we must acknowledge that there is no one simple solution.

00:02:53.620 There isn't even a guaranteed like five-step plan or guide.

00:02:56.960 Fighting to save Western civilization is not like assembling IKEA furniture.

00:03:00.560 Or anyway, if the simple solution or plan exists, I don't have it.

00:03:03.440 I don't know what it is.

00:03:04.020 All I know is that we must begin with a willingness to make radical changes to our personal lives,

00:03:11.180 to the way that we live.

00:03:13.280 It's not enough to demand those changes in the world.

00:03:16.880 We have to make them.

00:03:18.600 We must be ready to make significant sacrifices and completely alter the way we live on a day-to-day basis.

00:03:23.380 If we're content to float with the cultural tide, generally living how everybody else lives,

00:03:28.500 doing what everyone else does, taking the path of least resistance and all of that,

00:03:31.960 then there's really no hope.

00:03:34.420 Now we're back to the beach chair and the whiskey.

00:03:36.880 Pack it in, give up, wave the white flag, watch the fireworks from a safe distance.

00:03:40.740 That is until the fireball engulfs you too, which it will eventually.

00:03:44.120 If that doesn't sound appealing, then we have to be willing to live differently.

00:03:47.480 Right now, one of our great problems as conservatives, or simply as people who are not radical leftists,

00:03:52.660 whatever label you ascribe to, one of our great problems is that we don't like the program

00:03:58.660 that our culture has for us, but we tend to follow it anyway.

00:04:04.040 We aren't willing to sacrifice almost anything.

00:04:07.240 We won't even change our consumption habits.

00:04:10.120 How many of us have made so much as minor changes in our day-to-day lives

00:04:14.480 so as to live more in accordance with our values and principles?

00:04:19.480 I'm sure some people have done that, but I'm guessing the percentage is very low.

00:04:23.740 And that's just not going to work.

00:04:25.300 We become like the morbidly obese man who wants to figure out a way to lose weight,

00:04:29.860 but without breaking a sweat or experiencing more than 10 minutes of hunger.

00:04:33.480 It doesn't work. It can't work.

00:04:35.720 We have to choose one path or the other.

00:04:38.140 And that brings me to a familiar drum that I so often beat.

00:04:41.580 I'm not saying this is the be-all and end-all.

00:04:43.440 As I already clarified, there isn't any one single solution,

00:04:45.900 but this is a crucial change we must make.

00:04:48.800 We must abandon the government school system, not fix it, not reform it. 0.95

00:04:53.780 That's a fool's errand.

00:04:55.200 We have to abandon it, get out of it, leave it behind, let it collapse. 0.98

00:04:58.760 There's no other way.

00:05:00.640 This must be one of the first steps towards any serious effort to save our civilization.

00:05:05.260 If we skip over this step, there's no point in taking any other steps.

00:05:08.960 Once again, we're back at the beach chair with the whiskey glass.

00:05:11.180 There's no path to reclaiming the culture that will allow us to still send our children

00:05:16.280 into government indoctrination centers for seven hours a day, every day, for 12 years.

00:05:20.960 That path doesn't exist.

00:05:23.540 Case in point, the Daily Caller has this report,

00:05:26.720 quote, an eighth grade teacher from the Beaverton School District in Oregon compared being resistant

00:05:31.920 to actively teaching anti-racism to sexually abusing children during a Zoom video call.

00:05:37.160 Catherine Watkins, a humanities teacher at Cedar Park Middle School,

00:05:40.300 was recorded during a Zoom video session telling her fellow educators

00:05:42.820 that teachers who are not actively teaching, quote, anti-racism are abusing children.

00:05:47.700 Now, it's even worse than it sounds, and we have the video.

00:05:51.120 Let's listen.

00:05:52.800 Catherine Watkins, eighth grade humanities teacher at Cedar Park Middle School,

00:05:56.500 and my pronouns are she, her, we, and us.

00:05:59.780 I'm going to say something that's not nice.

00:06:03.300 Okay, so I have to stop it just there for one, just one second,

00:06:06.840 because we can't skip over that part.

00:06:09.800 We haven't got to the meat of this thing yet,

00:06:11.600 but we got to pause for a moment and think about this.

00:06:13.860 Her pronouns are she, her, if I heard that right, I think I heard that right. 0.88

00:06:17.680 Her pronouns are she, her, we, and us.

00:06:21.960 What?

00:06:23.320 Now, in a certain way, you might say that everyone's pronouns are we and us by definition.

00:06:28.000 We have all at various points identified ourselves in a we or us category,

00:06:32.180 but that's exactly why you don't need to stipulate that.

00:06:34.560 It's like saying that your pronoun is me.

00:06:36.600 Of course you're a me.

00:06:37.660 Everyone's a me.

00:06:38.420 You don't need to say that.

00:06:39.860 But it's even crazier than it first seems.

00:06:41.480 Just keep in mind that when someone gives you their pronouns,

00:06:44.800 they're telling you what pronouns you can use in reference to them.

00:06:51.560 She and her are not pronouns that a person uses in relation to themselves,

00:06:55.140 unless they're speaking in the third person.

00:06:56.940 So when she says her pronouns are we and us,

00:06:59.080 she's saying that when you refer to her, you should call her we and us,

00:07:04.500 which means that you must identify herself with yourself.

00:07:09.920 She is now include, she's included with you, in you.

00:07:13.780 So if I wanted to say Catherine Watkins went to the store,

00:07:16.380 she's telling me that I could say we went to the store.

00:07:20.380 Now I'm suddenly at the store too, whether I want it to be or not.

00:07:24.600 This is schizophrenic madness coming from a woman who teaches eighth grade students. 1.00

00:07:28.220 In a different time and place, she'd be in a straitjacket, in a mental asylum.

00:07:33.340 In our time and place, she's in a classroom.

00:07:36.580 And it only gets worse from there.

00:07:38.080 So let's keep listening.

00:07:40.120 I'm going to say something that's not nice and not sweet, but it's true.

00:07:44.580 If you're not evolving into an anti-racist educator,

00:07:50.000 you're making yourself obsolete in this field of profession.

00:07:56.000 Our district is only getting browner and browner with our children.

00:08:00.120 And so if, you know, obviously you can't change your melanin, all right?

00:08:05.080 But you can change your mind so that you can actually function

00:08:09.340 in a district that is full of BIPOC children. 0.99

00:08:15.140 So if you're being resistant, I understand that.

00:08:18.200 But you're going to have to eventually come to the light

00:08:20.980 because if you're going to keep with those old views of colonialism,

00:08:26.720 it's going to lead to being fired

00:08:29.120 because you're going to be doing damage to our children, trauma.

00:08:33.020 And so as we fire the teachers who sexually abuse our children, 0.62

00:08:36.320 we will be firing the teachers who do racist things to our children 0.80

00:08:41.620 and traumatize them.

00:08:43.700 And while our district might not be completely on there,

00:08:47.680 OEA is working on it, all right?

00:08:50.340 NEA is working on it.

00:08:52.440 And so it's just a matter of time.

00:08:54.620 So it's like you either evolve or dissolve.

00:08:57.860 You've got to start walking with us.

00:09:01.280 Come to the light.

00:09:03.460 Evolve or dissolve.

00:09:06.320 By the way, what is she wearing on her head? 1.00

00:09:09.280 This is a white woman. 1.00

00:09:10.360 Isn't that cultural appropriation? 0.71

00:09:13.820 Maybe she identifies as black. 0.94

00:09:16.680 But there it is.

00:09:17.480 Any teacher who resists critical race theory,

00:09:19.920 any teacher who does not espouse far-left viewpoints

00:09:22.100 and indoctrinate children into those same viewpoints 0.97

00:09:24.520 is tantamount to a sexual abuser. 0.93

00:09:27.160 According to Catherine Watkins, 0.98

00:09:29.540 schizophrenic eighth-grade teacher, 0.94

00:09:31.700 you are molesting a child by not brainwashing them. 0.99

00:09:36.320 And what's worse, we both hold that view.

00:09:39.480 I hold that view, too.

00:09:40.500 I don't want to hold that view,

00:09:41.740 but I am her and she is me.

00:09:43.980 She is also you, remember.

00:09:45.840 She identifies as you, 1.00

00:09:46.800 which means that you are now just as insane as her. 0.99

00:09:50.020 Hopefully you're following the logic here. 0.99

00:09:51.580 I'm not really, but...

00:09:53.160 Now, you might want to soothe yourself by saying,

00:09:55.140 well, come on, this is Oregon we're talking about.

00:09:58.040 Yeah, this is Oregon.

00:09:58.880 Again, this is also everywhere.

00:10:01.920 The modern public school system is built on the notion

00:10:04.300 that your kids belong to it,

00:10:06.920 that it has more authority over your kids than you do,

00:10:10.260 that its job is not to only teach the ABCs and 123s,

00:10:13.680 but to inculcate a worldview into your child.

00:10:16.840 Again, the system is built on that premise.

00:10:18.820 It is ingrained right down to the cellular level.

00:10:22.260 And we also know that the system,

00:10:25.000 in fact, all of our cultural institutions,

00:10:26.900 but especially the academic institutions,

00:10:28.520 are far left and getting further left as time goes on.

00:10:32.660 Send your kids to government schools

00:10:34.100 and you send them into an institution

00:10:36.560 whose primary goal in relation to your child

00:10:39.440 is to turn him into Catherine Watkins. 0.97

00:10:42.680 In fact, he already is Catherine Watkins,

00:10:44.560 as again, she identifies as him.

00:10:47.320 There's no getting around the conclusion.

00:10:49.480 There's no avoiding what needs to be done.

00:10:52.260 We have to give up on the public school system.

00:10:56.060 It needs us in order to survive, remember?

00:10:59.020 Without us, it starves to death.

00:11:02.520 If every single person

00:11:04.920 who doesn't agree with what Catherine Watkins just said there

00:11:08.060 stopped sending their kids to public school,

00:11:10.860 you think the public school system exists a year from now?

00:11:14.380 No.

00:11:15.620 Your children are the food which sustains it.

00:11:18.800 So, save your children from being devoured. 1.00

00:11:23.760 Let the beast starve to death. 1.00

00:11:26.760 And then go and dance around its decayed, emaciated corpse. 0.89

00:11:31.720 That's what we should do with the public schools. 0.65

00:11:34.660 And that's only step one.

00:11:35.880 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:44.620 One thing I like about living closer to a city now,

00:11:47.440 there's not a lot I like about it,

00:11:48.660 but one thing I like is that if I ever need to call an Uber or something,

00:11:51.740 I can do it,

00:11:53.000 because I'm not living out in the sticks anymore

00:11:54.700 five hours from civilization.

00:11:58.020 But the bad thing about getting into the back of a car for me

00:12:00.540 is that I get a lot of motion sickness,

00:12:01.880 and that has been a problem for me until I discovered ReliefBand.

00:12:05.380 ReliefBand is the number one FDA-cleared anti-nausea wristband

00:12:08.300 that's been clinically proven to quickly relieve

00:12:10.300 and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting

00:12:11.820 associated with motion sickness, anxiety, migraine, hangover,

00:12:14.580 morning sickness, chemotherapy, and so much more.

00:12:16.800 The product is drug-free.

00:12:18.280 It's non-drowsy enough to worry about being drowsy

00:12:20.840 and out of it for the rest of the day.

00:12:22.240 And it provides all natural relief with zero side effects

00:12:24.480 for as long as needed.

00:12:25.340 I use it.

00:12:26.320 My daughter uses it as well.

00:12:28.900 The technology was originally developed over 20 years ago

00:12:30.900 in hospitals to relieve nausea from patients,

00:12:33.160 but now through ReliefBand, it's available to the masses.

00:12:35.360 So you can ensure that nausea is never the reason

00:12:37.480 to miss out on life's important moments.

00:12:39.140 Right now, ReliefBand has an exclusive offer

00:12:40.640 just for Matt Walsh listeners.

00:12:52.780 and use our promo code Walsh for 20% off.

00:12:56.600 So it may shock you to learn.

00:12:58.840 And I'm sure you are not expecting this.

00:13:00.960 It can be very surprising.

00:13:02.000 But apparently, Twitter is not very serious

00:13:08.760 about tamping down on harassment and unsafe behavior.

00:13:14.600 It turns out.

00:13:16.600 I know that, again, it's going to be shocking to you.

00:13:20.040 So a couple days ago, my wife, who's on Twitter,

00:13:24.420 tweeted something saying, in fact, I have it here.

00:13:26.900 She said, pretty shocking and divisive stuff.

00:13:31.280 She said, happy 8th birthday to our twins,

00:13:33.440 trying to treasure all the moments.

00:13:37.260 My wife, generally far too sweet for Twitter, far too nice.

00:13:41.440 But that's it.

00:13:42.020 She just, because it was our twin's 8th birthday a couple days ago.

00:13:46.020 And so a guy responds, a guy with, by the way, in his profile photo,

00:13:52.160 I don't know if this is actually him or not in the photo.

00:13:54.080 For all I know, it isn't.

00:13:55.480 Who knows?

00:13:56.140 But he's holding a gun in his profile photo.

00:13:58.120 And he responds and says, demon spawn won't see 16.

00:14:03.600 Referring to my kids, saying they're not going to see the age of 16.

00:14:07.780 Explicit threat.

00:14:09.720 Obviously.

00:14:11.200 Explicit threat. 1.00

00:14:12.260 Threatening to kill my kids. 0.99

00:14:14.300 And then he goes on from there. 0.99

00:14:15.280 In fact, he goes on harassing my wife and talking about how my kids are going to die and so on.

00:14:19.820 So this is not the first time that my kids have been threatened.

00:14:24.440 Happens a lot, actually.

00:14:26.100 And I can also tell you, by the way, that, and I know that there are bad people on every side and all of that.

00:14:34.640 But I have, at various points in my career, been at odds with people on the right and groups of people on the right.

00:14:45.420 And I've had very angry, very angry people on the right coming after me.

00:14:52.260 And sending me messages and saying horrible things about me.

00:14:55.500 It's happened many times.

00:14:56.440 In fact, I've gotten death threats, even.

00:14:57.780 From people who would identify as being on the right.

00:15:02.140 But what I can tell you is that every single person who has threatened harm to my children, and there have been a lot of them.

00:15:10.880 Every single time, it is someone on the left.

00:15:14.180 Every time.

00:15:16.680 I don't think that's a coincidence.

00:15:19.880 And I can't help but think about that every single time.

00:15:22.140 I hear someone on the left talk about tolerance and all of this kind of thing, of course.

00:15:25.000 I wouldn't need this kind of experience to know that the tolerance stuff is BS.

00:15:31.840 But I can't help but think, oh, really?

00:15:33.160 Then why are you people constantly threatening to kill my children because you disagree with my opinions?

00:15:40.640 Anyway, so my wife reported that to Twitter.

00:15:44.320 And they sent an email back.

00:15:46.900 Reported, once again, someone threatening to kill my kids. 0.99

00:15:49.200 Or, like, at best, if you want it, the most generous interpretation of that tweet is this guy is calling my kids demon spawn and wishing death on them.

00:16:02.900 Which you would think would qualify at a minimum as harassment that you wouldn't, that would be banned on Twitter.

00:16:09.020 But Twitter sent an email back to my wife pretty quickly and said, we're writing to let you know that after reviewing the available information, we didn't find a violation of our rules in the content you reported.

00:16:20.020 We appreciate that you let us know what happened and encourage you to reach out again in the future if you see any potential violations.

00:16:25.480 Now, I then publicly shamed Twitter by putting this out there, a screenshot of the tweet and the email.

00:16:34.200 And what do you know, after I sent that out there and the tweet kind of went viral, now the account's been suspended.

00:16:40.240 It turns out that they reassessed their rules and realized that, oh, okay, maybe it did violate our rules.

00:16:49.500 But this is, you know, I'm able to do that with a platform.

00:16:53.280 I can shame Twitter, and I've had to do this more than once.

00:16:57.760 Basically shame them into doing the right thing and abiding by their own rules and forcing their own rules equally.

00:17:05.480 But if you don't have a platform, then you don't have, you just don't have the ability to do it.

00:17:08.640 What Twitter wanted to do was, and we know that this is ideological.

00:17:15.300 They could tell, my wife's on the right, this guy's on the left.

00:17:18.720 He threatened to kill her kids, and so they didn't care.

00:17:21.120 They're just going to let that go.

00:17:23.280 And, of course, I'm also pursuing legal avenues as well.

00:17:27.780 It's not, I'm not, this doesn't just go, when you make, when you threaten my family, this is not just, this is beyond Twitter now.

00:17:34.480 Now we have a legal issue, and I'm going to pursue every avenue available to hold you accountable for that.

00:17:38.080 But that's the social media.

00:17:42.780 Always looking out, always trying to fight harassment and everything.

00:17:45.600 So great job, great job to Twitter.

00:17:48.440 All right.

00:17:49.260 And you know what?

00:17:49.920 Even, there were more than one person defend, basically defending this guy. 0.89

00:17:57.640 Maybe not outright defending it by saying, but saying, oh, he's just an internet troll.

00:18:03.180 Who cares?

00:18:05.160 Don't get worked up about internet trolls.

00:18:07.680 This is what I always say to that, to that mentality.

00:18:09.600 First of all, yeah, you could say whatever you want to me.

00:18:12.540 You threaten my family.

00:18:13.800 And yeah, I care.

00:18:15.020 It doesn't make a difference to me if you do it online.

00:18:16.780 What, it doesn't count because it's on the internet?

00:18:18.220 No, I care.

00:18:21.680 And there's going to be problems for you if you do that.

00:18:24.400 But also, what is an internet troll?

00:18:29.240 An internet troll is a person who is using the internet to communicate.

00:18:36.000 It's not some magical land where the laws of basic decency and morality don't count anymore.

00:18:42.860 Like this idea that if someone says something on the internet, it doesn't matter.

00:18:48.920 They're just on the internet.

00:18:50.080 So what?

00:18:50.400 If he wrote it on a sheet of paper and handed it to me, all of a sudden it's worse because of the method of communication?

00:18:57.420 It's nonsense. 1.00

00:18:59.860 If you are, and the people that use this excuse, I assume it's because you yourself are a scumbag piece of garbage. 1.00

00:19:06.800 And you hide behind the anonymity of the internet to say stuff like this to people because you're a coward. 1.00

00:19:11.840 And you're trying to justify what you do. 1.00

00:19:14.180 I just want you to know, you are still a scumbag piece of garbage. 1.00

00:19:18.860 Just because you're only a scumbag piece of garbage on the internet doesn't make you any less of a scumbag piece of garbage. 1.00

00:19:24.460 It just makes you more of a coward on top of it. 1.00

00:19:28.340 All right. 0.99

00:19:29.440 Let's move on now.

00:19:31.360 This is from the Post Millennial.

00:19:33.520 Some good, maybe we could cheer up a little bit here and a little bit of good news.

00:19:37.100 An Atlanta city councilman who voted to defund the Atlanta police by $73 million had his car stolen by children in broad daylight on Wednesday.

00:19:45.280 Antonio Brown, who has mayoral aspirations, was at a ribbon-cutting ceremony when four kids got into his car and stole it.

00:19:51.980 We have a local news report on this, I think.

00:19:53.700 Let's check out.

00:19:55.180 There was no care for loss of life and for themselves or myself.

00:20:00.100 Atlanta councilman and mayoral candidate Antonio Brown says what happened to him in his district in the Dixie Hills community in northwest Atlanta

00:20:08.240 is a perfect example of what is happening to our youth and why we as a society need to step up and help.

00:20:14.840 Councilman Brown tells Fox 5 four young children stole his white Mercedes coupe just before noon Wednesday.

00:20:21.100 And at the time, he was standing just a few feet away, speaking with community leader Ben Norman.

00:20:25.820 One kid was in the driver's seat. Ben attempted to open the door to get him out of the car.

00:20:32.240 He fought with Ben. I had been engaged and tried to get him out of the car.

00:20:36.880 The three other kids were trying to figure out to get in the car or stay out of the car.

00:20:40.800 He started to hit on the gas. Ben let go. And then the kid started to drag me in the car a half of a block.

00:20:47.860 Generational poverty has gone on long enough. It's time that we start addressing the root of this problem.

00:20:53.340 Because there's no amount of officers you're going to put on the streets in Atlanta that could have stopped this from happening.

00:21:00.480 Really? There are no officers that could have stopped some kids from getting in a car and stealing it?

00:21:05.520 Yeah, I think probably they could.

00:21:09.340 Certainly if there were officers right there when this happened, they could have stopped it.

00:21:12.520 So, yes, police officers can't stop all crime.

00:21:18.000 But when you invest more in policing and you have more police officers in these crime-ridden, hellhole neighborhoods, you have less crime.

00:21:28.100 Funny how that works.

00:21:30.340 And the crime that does happen, there's a better chance of people who do it being held accountable for it.

00:21:34.780 And the law being enforced. Again, funny how that works.

00:21:37.140 Now, as being somewhat facetious, I said this is good news. I don't celebrate crime in any way, shape, or form.

00:21:45.360 Do I care? Do I care that much?

00:21:48.620 If you advocate for defunding the police officer, the police, you want to make neighborhoods less safe.

00:21:56.460 And then you get your car stolen, do I personally care that much?

00:21:59.040 Do I feel sorry for you? No, not at all I don't.

00:22:02.140 Not happy to see crime ever, but I don't feel sorry for you.

00:22:07.800 I would only call it good news because it could be an opportunity, a learning opportunity for this guy.

00:22:14.740 Maybe he could learn something.

00:22:16.360 Maybe it'd be a moment of enlightenment where he understands, oh, you know what?

00:22:20.440 I need the police right now.

00:22:22.300 Turns out the police do serve a purpose.

00:22:24.820 And you know what else?

00:22:25.280 Because these kids were trying to steal my car, and I tried to stop them.

00:22:32.360 Now, he ties it into generational poverty.

00:22:35.560 Well, yeah, you tried to stop them, didn't you, though?

00:22:37.980 You didn't wave goodbye and say, okay, you can have my car.

00:22:40.400 You guys obviously are suffering from generational poverty.

00:22:43.560 No, you tried to physically stop them from doing this.

00:22:47.460 Why?

00:22:48.060 Because it's a crime.

00:22:49.040 They're trying to take what doesn't belong to them.

00:22:53.700 Learning opportunity there.

00:22:56.280 Maybe you could start to understand why people don't like looting.

00:23:02.620 See, you're the kind of person who would justify looting on the same basis, probably, generational poverty, and they're being oppressed.

00:23:10.200 Yeah, well, it turns out the shop owners who are having their buildings burned down and their merchandise stolen, that's not good enough for them.

00:23:21.660 Because they also are not rich.

00:23:24.060 And even if they are, who cares?

00:23:25.280 They've got their own struggles.

00:23:28.720 They're not going to swing open the doors, say, oh, yeah, take whatever you want, any more than you're going to allow these kids to steal your car.

00:23:38.140 Could be a learning opportunity.

00:23:39.140 But I think, unfortunately, it was a potential learning opportunity wasted because, from what I understand, Antonio Brown is still on the defund the police bandwagon.

00:23:49.280 Defund them.

00:23:49.920 You know why?

00:23:50.320 It's easy for him as a public official.

00:23:54.360 Because he knows that even if you defund the police and you take police out of these neighborhoods, whenever he needs them, they'll be there for him.

00:24:03.320 And that's all that he cares about.

00:24:04.720 All right, this is from Fox.

00:24:08.280 It says, conservative watchdog Judicial Watch has sued Chicago, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on behalf of the Daily Caller News Foundation over her policy of granting interviews to only non-white reporters.

00:24:20.120 The lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois alleges that Lightfoot violated reporter Thomas Ketanachi's equal protection rights under the 14th Amendment when she didn't respond to multiple requests for interviews, as well as his First Amendment rights.

00:24:35.780 And we know that we talked about that a few days ago.

00:24:40.280 Mayor Lightfoot announced that she's only going to accept interviews from, quote, unquote, people of color.

00:24:46.600 And we know that Caucasians apparently have no—we are translucent. 0.74

00:24:51.760 We have no color.

00:24:52.580 So we don't count as people of color.

00:24:54.680 I kind of look at my skin and I think, you know, that's a color, isn't it?

00:24:58.140 It counts as some kind of color.

00:24:59.980 But no, no, no.

00:25:00.760 I'm a—I am a hideous, translucent beast, like some sort of deep-sea creature.

00:25:07.680 Anyway, so they're suing.

00:25:08.800 And that—this is good.

00:25:09.660 This is exactly what needs to happen.

00:25:11.940 We're talking about solutions.

00:25:14.240 One step.

00:25:15.640 Pull your kids out of public school.

00:25:17.480 This is another important step.

00:25:19.640 Take it to court.

00:25:21.460 It's not always going to go the way you want it to, obviously.

00:25:24.180 But we've got to start taking this stuff to court.

00:25:25.960 This is obviously blatantly illegal for a public official, an elected representative, to declare that she's only going to answer questions and talk to non-white people, obviously illegal and unconstitutional. 0.68

00:25:42.680 And you only need to imagine what would happen in the reverse and what the response would be.

00:25:46.960 There'd be no disputing that it's illegal.

00:25:51.600 So we've got to start suing over this.

00:25:52.980 Now, I think there are some people who would say that this is frivolous to sue.

00:25:57.580 Who really cares?

00:25:58.780 And does the Daily Caller really want to talk to Mayor Lightfoot all that much?

00:26:05.000 It's not frivolous.

00:26:06.900 We need to fight tooth and nail at every point, through every avenue available, including legal avenues.

00:26:14.860 That's what the left does.

00:26:16.400 That's what they've been doing.

00:26:18.100 That's how they got to the point they are now.

00:26:20.920 Running the culture.

00:26:22.980 Fight everything, everywhere, all the time, through every avenue available.

00:26:30.300 Especially when you've got a situation that you know should be a pretty easy win.

00:26:34.380 Because what she's doing is clearly unconstitutional. 1.00

00:26:39.060 Same thing needs to happen in the school system.

00:26:40.980 Same thing needs to happen in these corporations, these companies, where they sit white employees down and berate them on the basis of their race. 0.99

00:26:52.020 Subject them to discriminatory and harassing treatment.

00:26:57.980 There needs to be lawsuits.

00:27:00.720 Start suing these people.

00:27:02.080 All right, this is, let's go number three here.

00:27:08.000 Caitlyn Jenner.

00:27:10.140 Now, as you know, I have not been a fan of Caitlyn Jenner in general or his run for governor of California.

00:27:20.120 A lot of conservatives jumped on the bandwagon.

00:27:22.720 They were really excited about it.

00:27:23.920 They were excited about their chance to say, look, the Dems are the real transphobes.

00:27:28.060 Hey, we got you now, Dems.

00:27:29.900 You see, we got our own transgender person.

00:27:32.620 They're running on as a Republican.

00:27:35.260 What are you going to do now?

00:27:36.560 We've stumped you now, haven't we?

00:27:40.400 And no, you haven't.

00:27:41.560 The Democrats don't care.

00:27:42.480 Because they could easily wave Caitlyn Jenner off and say, oh, yeah, well, that doesn't count.

00:27:50.520 This is someone who has internalized transphobia or whatever, whatever thing.

00:27:54.700 Um, it's not going to make the Democrats stop and say, well, you know what?

00:27:59.720 Hmm.

00:28:01.720 I guess if the Republicans have a transgender candidate, they aren't so bad after all. 1.00

00:28:06.020 That's not going to happen.

00:28:07.260 Hasn't worked that way.

00:28:09.440 And the other big problem is that Caitlyn Jenner is, uh, aside from having no qualifications to be governor at all, also a leftist.

00:28:18.100 A far leftist holds far left views on almost every issue, certainly almost every issue that matters.

00:28:25.700 Including on the gender stuff, which should be no surprise.

00:28:28.780 But Caitlyn Jenner came out a few days ago, maybe a week or two ago.

00:28:32.540 And, uh, took a position against having males in female sports.

00:28:39.160 And a lot of conservatives, once again, swept off their feet by that.

00:28:44.360 Hey, Caitlyn Jenner is our new hero.

00:28:46.860 This, this is a powerful advocate.

00:28:50.440 And I, you may recall, I said at the time, you cannot trust this.

00:28:54.700 You can't trust this position that Caitlyn Jenner is taking here. 0.88

00:28:59.300 And, uh, that seems to be confirmed now.

00:29:01.580 Caitlyn Jenner was being interviewed on Fox News.

00:29:04.580 Asked again about the, uh, the, the female sports situation.

00:29:09.600 Especially in comparison to his previous statements where he had been in favor of males and female sports.

00:29:14.120 And, uh, here's what he said.

00:29:16.720 And you notice I did not say in that statement, trans women.

00:29:21.120 I said biological boys.

00:29:23.840 What I would do as, as governor, I would put together a commission.

00:29:27.840 Trans women can compete in the Olympics.

00:29:29.540 They compete in the NCAA.

00:29:30.560 But when it gets down to the high school level, there's no guide rules.

00:29:34.220 There's no rules and regulations how they can.

00:29:36.580 Yeah.

00:29:36.880 And trans women who are truly trans, who at a very young age, you know, started proper medical treatment.

00:29:43.820 They've grown up as girls.

00:29:45.280 Of course they should be able to compete in girls sports.

00:29:47.680 But, yeah, as some guy who hasn't done any therapy, hasn't done anything, there has to be a review board.

00:29:55.920 I would be the first governor to put together a review board to review each case.

00:29:59.320 Such a small issue.

00:30:00.860 It's like a non-issue that's out there.

00:30:03.520 And I would be surprised if there's 30 trans athletes in the entire state.

00:30:09.280 Okay.

00:30:09.840 Well, there's your conservative hero, conservatives.

00:30:12.460 Well done.

00:30:12.880 Actually, Caitlyn Jenner, which should not be a shock, stakes out, not only does it turn out that he's in favor of female, males and female sports,

00:30:25.680 but his view on the gender stuff is, it's an extreme view.

00:30:32.320 Extreme far left view.

00:30:35.600 Because, first of all, he draws a distinction between biological men and trans women.

00:30:40.720 He says, well, I said, I was talking about biological men, not trans women.

00:30:45.900 So what he's trying to claim is that so-called trans women are not biological men.

00:30:51.220 That's what he just said.

00:30:54.760 That's an extreme view.

00:30:58.800 That doesn't even approach the realm of a conservative view or a sane, rational view.

00:31:05.260 What he's saying is that there are, he's allowing that there, I guess, I suppose that there may be some men who claim to be trans women but are not.

00:31:17.460 And so he wants to have a review board.

00:31:18.820 That's not creepy at all.

00:31:20.360 We'll have some government review board to look at each individual case of every man claiming to be a woman. 0.77

00:31:25.400 And this review board will decide which man is actually a woman. 1.00

00:31:29.060 So he's allowing that there may be cases like that.

00:31:32.480 But what he's saying is that a real trans woman is one who is not actually a biological man.

00:31:38.500 So what are they, Jenner?

00:31:41.180 Biological women? 1.00

00:31:43.440 That's apparently what he thinks.

00:31:45.200 And then he also says, worst of all,

00:31:46.900 He says that he thinks any student who's been on medication, on, quote, treatment, from a very young age should be allowed to compete against the girls. 0.91

00:32:04.060 Of course they should be allowed to compete against the girls.

00:32:06.920 So what do we learn from that?

00:32:08.000 We learn not only, again, is he in favor of males and female sports, but he's in favor of medicating very young children.

00:32:19.440 And this is the person that so many Republicans were excited about. 1.00

00:32:26.800 My God, how stupid do you have to be? 1.00

00:32:31.020 All right. 1.00

00:32:31.820 This is from Variety, a little bit of entertainment news.

00:32:34.400 It says, audiences are going to be confronted this weekend with something they haven't seen in a long time.

00:32:41.960 New movies they may actually want to watch in theaters.

00:32:44.480 In the first box office battle in ages, Paramount's A Quiet Place Part 2 and Disney's Cruella are expected to heat up an ice-cold domestic box office and kick off a delayed summer movie season.

00:32:55.440 The sequel to 2018's A Quiet Place starring Emily Blunt and directed by her husband, John Krasinski, is expected to pull ahead of its competition.

00:33:00.960 And then also there's this Cruella, which is a live-action origin story about the famous fur-loving villain from 101 Dalmatians.

00:33:10.640 And that's going to be in theaters, but also on Disney+.

00:33:13.520 And you can pay $30 to rent it on top of your Disney Plus subscription.

00:33:20.820 I think the movie's PG-13, so it's a PG-13 origin story of Cruella de Vil.

00:33:27.780 Who is that supposed to be for?

00:33:29.520 I'm not going to have my 8-year-old kids watching that.

00:33:34.940 A PG-13 origin story explaining how this woman turned into a serial killer of dogs.

00:33:42.560 So that's not for kids.

00:33:44.100 101 Dalmatians is a kids' movie through and through.

00:33:47.500 And this is not for kids.

00:33:48.820 So who's it like?

00:33:49.260 A bunch of 40-year-old adults are going to sit down and watch this?

00:33:51.960 I guess so.

00:33:52.500 But it is good anyway.

00:33:55.920 I think it's...

00:33:57.080 I'm excited by the prospect of...

00:33:59.920 I'm not ready to give up on movie theaters, even though they serve no real purpose anymore.

00:34:03.740 I think that's an American institution that I would be happy to see revived.

00:34:11.160 The only problem is, in fact, we are planning to go see A Quiet Place Part 2 tonight.

00:34:17.660 And I got the tickets.

00:34:20.220 And then I got the email with the tickets.

00:34:22.320 And it said in the email...

00:34:23.700 And I kind of wasn't expecting this, because here in Nashville, nobody wears masks anywhere anymore.

00:34:28.900 I haven't been asked to wear one in I don't know how long.

00:34:31.780 But it said in the tickets that everyone has to wear a mask.

00:34:34.840 Despite what the CDC says, everyone has to wear a mask at all times, even sitting in the auditorium watching the movie.

00:34:39.560 The only stipulation...

00:34:40.840 I'd be interested, maybe if anyone knows...

00:34:42.360 Anyone who's been to a movie theater, I'm wondering if they really enforce it or not.

00:34:45.560 Because the only stipulation is that unless you're eating, then you don't have to wear it.

00:34:50.720 So I think that means that I could just sit down with a popcorn and stuff my face the entire time.

00:34:55.660 And I don't have to wear the mask.

00:34:57.260 Which is what I would do anyway.

00:35:00.340 So we'll see.

00:35:01.660 But if you actually have to sit there...

00:35:03.500 I mean, this is a good way...

00:35:05.120 Movie theaters...

00:35:06.960 A good way to make sure that you don't revive your industry.

00:35:10.160 And that you are forever destroyed.

00:35:12.040 Is to actually force the people in the theaters to wear a mask while they're sitting there for two and a half hours watching a movie.

00:35:17.880 Who the hell would want to do that?

00:35:19.220 Well, you could sit at your house without a mask on.

00:35:23.920 So I'll be interested to see whether we're able to watch the movie or if we get kicked out.

00:35:30.740 Because there's no way...

00:35:31.560 There's no scenario where I'm actually going to sit there with a mask on and watch the movie.

00:35:34.560 No movie is worth that.

00:35:36.460 All right.

00:35:38.020 I guess we have a little bit of time for this.

00:35:39.820 Speaking of wearing a mask indoors...

00:35:42.220 I really wish I could assume this is fake.

00:35:45.060 But I can't assume that.

00:35:46.620 There's a letter written to Slate's advice column.

00:35:49.740 Now, the whole idea that anybody would write a letter to Slate's advice column is already sort of hard to believe.

00:35:54.240 But they have an advice column and they get letters. 0.93

00:35:57.020 And there are a lot of crazy people out there, as we've discovered.

00:35:59.800 So I'm leaning towards this is real.

00:36:03.160 But here's the letter.

00:36:03.980 It says,

00:36:33.980 I disagree that there's no harm.

00:36:52.420 I want to see my beautiful husband's face again.

00:36:54.220 I want to kiss him on the lips romantically like we used to and not through a piece of fabric.

00:36:58.420 He doesn't change his mask very often and it's often smelly and soiled. 0.59

00:37:02.140 Oh my gosh.

00:37:03.680 I'm going to vomit.

00:37:05.340 And I don't want to feel judged by him for my own behavior, which I consider reasonable.

00:37:10.660 And anyway, then she asks what she's supposed to do.

00:37:13.860 I mean, what you should do, what you should be able to do is have this guy.

00:37:16.720 I mean, in all seriousness, this is someone who should be committed into a mental asylum.

00:37:22.020 And I don't say that as a joke or as hyperbole. 0.91

00:37:25.080 This is really a crazy person with a severe mental illness who needs to be in some sort of facility for his own safety and those around him. 0.97

00:37:37.240 This is not someone suited for living in civilized society. 0.93

00:37:40.700 That's the real answer, but unfortunately, that's probably not an option.

00:37:47.600 Because the medical industry is not going to recognize this as an illness.

00:37:51.540 At any other time, they would.

00:37:53.000 You know, pre-COVID, if there was a guy wearing a mask all the time and never taking it off,

00:37:59.100 it would be agreement among all health professionals, mental health professionals,

00:38:02.940 that this is someone with severe, debilitating OCD and they need to be in a facility.

00:38:07.920 But now it's been normalized and I'm afraid, like I said, I wish I could assume this is fake,

00:38:13.440 but there are a lot of people, I think, who are, if not this bad, close to it.

00:38:18.620 I'm not someone who puts a lot of effort into how I look, which probably is obvious,

00:38:25.540 but that's why I like Mack Weldon.

00:38:28.360 Because with Mack Weldon, they bring comfort and style and they just make it really easy on someone like me,

00:39:27.760 This one says, if more people were like Matt Walsh, the world would be a better and smarter place.

00:39:35.260 Well, you know, I agree.

00:39:37.640 It's what I've been saying.

00:39:38.660 Thank you.

00:39:41.360 Matt, you always scream at us that we should like the video, but why don't you tell us to subscribe to your channel?

00:39:45.700 That's a really good point.

00:39:46.380 So, subscribe to the channel!

00:39:47.780 Subscribe right now!

00:39:50.860 We'll see if that works.

00:39:53.160 Let's see.

00:39:53.760 Hey, Matt, I'm just wondering how you plan to enforce the bans on your show.

00:39:59.380 I mean, what happens if a banned person comes back and watches anyway? 0.99

00:40:02.320 Well, then I'll send someone to your home and have you killed. 1.00

00:40:05.680 Just kidding. 1.00

00:40:07.660 I was just complaining about death threats.

00:40:11.400 Not a very good transition there.

00:40:13.600 Let's see.

00:40:14.060 This one says, I watched the DW backstage, and I totally agree with Walsh.

00:40:17.260 He annihilated the others on the alien argument.

00:40:20.440 Matt's most convincing argument, though, is that not believing in aliens is boring.

00:40:24.640 And that really is, when it comes down to it, mostly my argument.

00:40:29.040 It's the most fun thing to believe.

00:40:30.980 And in this case, I will go with, I will let my emotions guide me on this.

00:40:36.100 Emotions over facts.

00:40:37.500 Feelings over facts.

00:40:38.680 When it comes to aliens, anyway.

00:40:40.460 You know, if anyone is known for destroying leftist fallacies, it's me.

00:40:44.620 Oh, wait, no.

00:40:46.360 No, it's Ben Shapiro.

00:40:47.660 Ben Shapiro is known for that.

00:40:48.840 And if you want to listen to him do it in 15 minutes or less, then you're in for a treat.

00:42:13.660 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:18.500 Today we cancel Pink News, which is a gay news outlet based in the UK.

00:42:24.300 You'll be, I'm sure, shocked to discover that the people who work for a British gay news site called Pink News 0.58

00:42:28.600 apparently are not fans of yours truly.

00:42:30.780 Me of all people.

00:42:31.500 I can't imagine what sort of problem they could have with me.

00:42:34.460 In fact, Pink News has in recent years written several outraged articles attacking me for some of the things I've said on this very show.

00:42:39.940 I'm not ashamed to admit that each time they publish an article like that, I openly weep as I read it.

00:42:45.140 Because all I want is for everyone to like me.

00:42:46.980 That should be obvious to anyone who listens to the show.

00:42:49.980 My main goal is to say really popular mainstream things.

00:42:53.080 It's just that I'm bad at it.

00:42:55.580 Which brings us to the latest from Pink News. 0.95

00:42:57.400 The headline is Daily Wire's Matt Walsh compares trans healthcare to pedophilia and Nazi science in disgusting rant. 0.99

00:43:06.100 Disgusting. 0.99

00:43:07.080 Pink News. 0.98

00:43:07.820 I am a person with feelings too, you know.

00:43:09.700 Anyway, the article says, 0.71

00:43:12.700 The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh has publicly compared trans healthcare to experimentation, molestation, abuse, and rape.

00:43:17.420 In an episode of his podcast, The Matt Walsh Show, released on Monday, titled The Evil Quacks Mutilating Our Children,

00:43:22.080 Walsh went on a 20-minute rant about gender ideology.

00:43:24.820 Actually, it was like 17 or 18 minutes.

00:43:26.500 In fairness.

00:43:27.700 Walsh, who thinks the use of face masks to curb the spread of coronavirus has created a society of adults who fear breathing fresh air,

00:43:33.100 said that trans youth should not receive gender-affirming healthcare because they literally can't make good long-term decisions.

00:43:39.380 He continued, quote,

00:43:40.440 This is also why we say adolescents can't consent to sex.

00:43:43.740 Dr. Johanna Olson-Kennedy wants to undermine the legal, scientific, and philosophical case against pedophilia. 0.85

00:43:49.720 And that's not a coincidence, by the way.

00:43:51.300 Check back in 10 years or maybe sooner, and she'll be explaining with equal passion why we must be tolerant towards adult-child sexual relationships.

00:43:57.500 Gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth is vital in reducing mental health problems and suicidal ideation.

00:44:01.820 And has been backed by every major medical association.

00:44:05.720 Okay, let's pause here for a moment.

00:44:06.680 Now, most of what they've written so far is true.

00:44:09.520 I did say what they've quoted me as saying.

00:44:12.060 I said all of that because it's true.

00:44:13.820 I don't apologize for it, and I don't wish to moderate or water down my points at all.

00:44:17.800 I said what I said, and I meant it.

00:44:20.520 We run into problems, though, in that last paragraph.

00:44:24.020 Where it says, again,

00:44:24.820 Gender-affirming healthcare for trans youth is vital in reducing mental health problems and suicidal ideation,

00:44:29.300 and has been backed by every major medical association.

00:44:32.660 Two major issues here.

00:44:33.640 First, there's the term gender-affirming healthcare.

00:44:37.580 And the second is there's the claim that drugging and mutilating children is the best way to stop them from killing themselves.

00:44:42.680 As for the first thing,

00:44:44.940 you may notice how there is no other context where surgeries and, quote, healthcare are administered to affirm something.

00:44:53.740 Now, to affirm means to state as a fact or assert strongly.

00:44:57.660 It can also mean offering emotional support and encouragement.

00:45:01.340 Since when have you ever heard of an emotionally supportive surgery?

00:45:06.200 Now, you may say that all cosmetic surgery sort of fits that bill,

00:45:09.260 but nobody calls a nose job a nose-affirming surgery.

00:45:13.580 And besides, gender ideologues would say that gender-affirming procedures, quote, unquote, are not merely cosmetic.

00:45:19.020 So, the question remains, when have you heard of a medical procedure that has the purpose of affirming?

00:45:27.140 When have you heard of medicine whose purpose is to make or support an assertion?

00:45:33.240 In fact, when have you even heard of a therapist whose primary goal is simply to affirm,

00:45:38.040 that is, encourage or assert as fact whatever their patients say to them?

00:45:42.500 The goal of a therapist is supposed to be, oftentimes, the opposite of that.

00:45:45.940 And the goal of surgery and medicine is to treat or heal an ailment or an injury or a disease.

00:45:53.280 It's not to affirm anything.

00:45:58.040 Now, the gender ideologues aren't simply misusing medicine. 1.00

00:46:02.260 They're attempting to turn it on its head.

00:46:04.660 They seek to fundamentally redefine the very purpose of medicine,

00:46:07.520 just as they seek to redefine sex and biology.

00:46:09.540 And they seek to do this while pretending that they aren't doing anything radical or extreme at all.

00:46:15.620 Indeed, they seek to do it while scoffing at anyone who raises the slightest objection.

00:46:19.900 They've come along, subverted millennia of human experience, wisdom, and knowledge,

00:46:23.440 and they insist not only that we allow them to do it, but that we don't even raise a question about it.

00:46:29.320 And most people seem willing to comply with those demands.

00:46:31.900 I'm not, and I never will be.

00:46:33.420 Never, not ever.

00:46:34.140 However, I will continue to insist on the truth, the truth that all of us and all people everywhere

00:46:40.240 have always known up until 19 seconds ago.

00:46:43.220 One of those truths is that there are only males and females.

00:46:45.800 That's it.

00:46:46.180 That's all.

00:46:46.540 There are a small minority of people who suffer birth defects that affect the appearance of their genitalia,

00:46:51.020 which has nothing to do with transgenderism anyway, but still there are only two sexes.

00:46:55.780 No other human sexes have ever been discovered or ever will be. 1.00

00:46:58.500 Another truth is that the purpose of medicine is still, despite what the gender ideologues claim,

00:47:05.040 to treat and heal.

00:47:07.240 So when a physically healthy young girl is put on puberty blockers, then hormones,

00:47:10.620 and then her breasts are chopped up, what physical ailment is being treated? 1.00

00:47:15.180 What is the disease that these doctors are trying to suppress or cure?

00:47:19.200 You can't say that they're treating gender dysphoria because gender dysphoria is a mental condition,

00:47:24.080 just like anorexia is a mental condition.

00:47:25.660 You don't treat mental conditions by altering the body to coincide more closely with the patient's delusional mental state.

00:47:32.480 That's not how you heal mental illness.

00:47:35.420 So again, what disease is being treated by chopping off a girl's healthy breasts? 1.00

00:47:40.920 Womanhood? 0.99

00:47:41.640 Is that the disease?

00:47:44.100 Well, whether the gender ideologues will say it out loud or not, that is how they see it. 0.99

00:47:48.780 That womanhood or manhood is the disease, and I would call that pretty disgusting. 1.00

00:47:52.400 Speaking of disgusting, the emotional blackmail that these people use is not only disgusting, but simply evil. 0.99

00:48:00.600 They say that we must drug and mutilate kids, or else the kids will kill themselves. 0.98

00:48:06.880 They say studies prove them right. 0.95

00:48:09.240 They're lying. 0.94

00:48:10.640 These people are liars, and everything they say, everything should be ignored. 0.99

00:48:13.900 In fact, studies show that suicide rates among trans people remain sky high after surgery. 0.99

00:48:21.260 But that's not even the point.

00:48:22.840 The point is that we just now started doing this kind of thing to thousands of kids all at once.

00:48:27.780 When the gender ideologues start talking about all the studies proving the efficacy and safety of their procedures,

00:48:33.820 you know they're lying because there can't have been any reliable long-term studies on this subject.

00:48:39.120 There hasn't been a large enough sample size to study yet.

00:48:42.160 This current crop of children, they are the guinea pigs.

00:48:47.000 The mad scientists are running experiments on them.

00:48:50.700 They're one big test group. 0.97

00:48:52.660 The assumption, the claim, the hope, the assertion is that drugging them and chopping off their body parts will work out well in the long term.

00:49:01.520 There is no data to support that assumption.

00:49:04.520 There can't be.

00:49:05.320 And any sane person's common sense and moral intuition militates against those assumptions.

00:49:13.540 Well, maybe I'm wrong a little bit.

00:49:15.480 There was one long-term study that comes to mind, one experiment conducted decades ago whose results can now be observed.

00:49:21.300 As I've mentioned before, John Money tested these gender theories that he came up with on two young boys in the 1970s.

00:49:27.880 And how did that go?

00:49:29.120 Well, both of them went on to kill themselves.

00:49:31.100 So those were the long-term results.

00:49:32.900 And these are the facts.

00:49:36.320 Pink News doesn't want to hear the facts. 1.00

00:49:38.480 And they don't want you to hear the facts either.

00:49:40.240 Which is why they ended their hit piece this way.

00:49:42.280 Quote,

00:49:42.440 Well, of course they have.

00:50:00.760 They know their position is indefensible.

00:50:03.380 They know it.

00:50:04.440 They know everything I'm saying is 100% obviously true.

00:50:07.200 They have no counter-argument.

00:50:08.660 No rebuttal.

00:50:09.660 None.

00:50:10.040 Nothing.

00:50:11.140 All they can do is run to the principal's office and try to get me suspended or expelled.

00:50:15.780 And maybe they'll succeed eventually.

00:50:17.120 I don't know.

00:50:18.560 But that won't change the truth.

00:50:21.040 And it won't stop me from speaking it.

00:50:23.600 And it also won't stop me from saying to Pink News,

00:50:26.020 You're canceled.
