00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as left-wing activists stalk lawmakers in bathrooms,
00:00:04.460 the FBI has been mobilized to hunt down parents who raise their voices during school board meetings,
00:00:09.300 because that's the priority right now.
00:00:10.500 Also, Facebook goes mysteriously dark for hours as Democrats and the media ramp up pressure to compel the company
00:00:15.840 to further censor conservative content.
00:00:18.480 And a new report shows how the United States has the strictest mask guidelines for children in the entire world.
00:00:23.760 Plus, a trans activist tries to get a fast food employee fired for misgendering
00:00:28.020 in one of the most vicious cancel culture campaigns we've seen yet.
00:00:31.600 We'll talk about that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:50.480 We are now two days removed from October 3rd, the day of the bathroom insurrection against Senator Sinema,
00:01:57.640 a day that will live in infamy.
00:01:58.800 It was an assault on our democracy and our very way of life.
00:02:02.340 It wouldn't be too far to say that it was the worst attack on our nation ever,
00:02:05.160 like Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined twice.
00:02:08.120 I'll always remember where I was when it happened,
00:02:10.380 and I fear that I'll never be the same.
00:02:14.080 I almost died that day.
00:02:17.200 At least, this is what would be said about the incident
00:02:19.800 if it had been right-wing activists harassing a lawmaker in the bathroom.
00:02:23.140 But left-wing activists are judged on a different scale,
00:02:25.200 and the measurement on that scale, the measurements are quite simple to read.
00:02:28.340 It goes like this.
00:02:29.300 Whatever the left-wing activist does is okay.
00:02:32.940 They must have had a good reason to do it.
00:02:34.440 So, when they stalked Senator Sinema in a restroom,
00:02:37.400 filmed her as she went into the bathroom stall,
00:02:39.120 and yelled at her for not supporting Biden's agenda,
00:02:41.260 it was shrugged off by Biden himself.
00:02:43.200 Here is Biden, in a press conference yesterday,
00:02:45.660 responding to the incident, and not exactly condemning it.
00:02:48.380 Listen.
00:02:49.220 Mr. President, you're talking about how you have 48 Democratic votes right now.
00:02:54.580 The other two have been pressured over the weekend by activists.
00:02:58.480 Joe Manchin had people on kayaks show up to his vote.
00:03:02.180 So, T.L. Adam, Senator Sinema last night was chased into a restroom.
00:03:06.700 Do you think that those tactics are crossing a line?
00:03:10.180 I don't think they're appropriate tactics, but it happens to everybody.
00:03:13.700 The only people it doesn't happen to are people who have Secret Service standing around them.
00:03:19.980 So, it's part of the process.
00:03:23.340 Oh, you know, one thing I take from that is,
00:03:25.900 hey, Senator Sinema doesn't have Secret Service protection standing around her.
00:03:30.040 Hint, hint.
00:03:30.460 It's all just part of the process, he says.
00:03:35.620 It happens to everybody.
00:03:36.660 I mean, I would wonder who else has it happened to.
00:03:39.340 Really, everybody gets filmed in bathrooms?
00:03:41.920 Who else?
00:03:43.760 Maybe I shouldn't be surprised that the creepy perv Biden thinks filming women in restrooms is part of the process.
00:03:50.500 Although I'd hate to know what kind of process he's referring to exactly.
00:03:53.500 In fact, the left seems in general to have a thing for accosting women in restrooms.
00:03:57.960 One minute, they're defending a male sex predator who exposes a wrecked penis to women and children in the Wii Spa locker room.
00:04:03.760 And the next, they're cheering illegal alien activists for confronting a senator while she's on the toilet.
00:04:08.340 These people just really don't think women should have privacy in the bathroom at all.
00:04:13.220 They just don't.
00:04:13.680 They don't believe that.
00:04:14.800 And not just in the bathroom, either.
00:04:16.060 Is she being confronted?
00:04:16.780 Sinema over the last few days has been harassed at her home, in the airport, on a plane, everywhere she goes now.
00:04:24.220 They follow and scream at her because she doesn't fully agree with Biden's spending proposals.
00:04:29.260 The feminist website Jezebel published a piece yesterday directly calling for more harassment of the senator in the bathroom in a piece titled,
00:04:37.520 Absolutely Bully Kristen Sinema Outside of Her Bathroom Stall.
00:04:42.220 Jezebel writer Ashley Reese waves off the criticism of these intimidation tactics as pearl-clutching and says that it was, quote,
00:04:48.660 Just a few constituents following their representative into a large bathroom to air their grievances.
00:04:55.080 Oh, well, as long as the bathroom was large, then never mind.
00:04:59.200 Jezebel represents the view of many on the left, including in the media.
00:05:02.700 Kirsten Powers, CNN contributor, tweeted on Monday referring to one of the illegal alien harassers who said that her grandparents had been deported.
00:05:12.000 She said,
00:05:12.640 Which is worse, your grandparents being deported or being followed into a bathroom because you refused to stop and listen by people desperate for your help?
00:05:20.140 This is not a trick question.
00:05:22.420 Oh, I can answer that.
00:05:24.480 Being followed into the bathroom and filmed is worse.
00:05:28.560 Okay, that's illegal behavior.
00:05:31.280 Deporting illegal aliens, on the other hand, is law enforcement.
00:05:35.520 So in one case, the law is being broken, and in the other, it's being enforced.
00:05:40.460 First, so not a trick question and also not a hard answer.
00:05:45.140 But as we've seen, the left views the law as a rather blurry and subjective line, and they have good reason to see it that way.
00:05:51.600 I mean, if they're acting on behalf of their ideology, they know that they're empowered to do basically whatever they want.
00:05:57.300 They can film senators in the bathroom.
00:05:58.760 They can show up with bullhorns to people's homes in the middle of the night.
00:06:02.480 They can riot.
00:06:03.460 They can loot.
00:06:03.960 They can assault police officers.
00:06:05.040 They can burn police stations to the ground.
00:06:06.540 They can wage a months-long assault on a federal courthouse.
00:06:09.460 They can stop traffic.
00:06:11.600 They can harass and assault random pedestrians and people in vehicles.
00:06:15.600 They're able to do all of this with rarely any penalty.
00:06:19.420 And meanwhile, in the midst of all of it, the FBI has now officially been put on the case of conservative parents who say mean things to school board members.
00:06:29.140 Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday, while left-wing activists and illegal aliens were stalking a U.S. senator across the country, he issued a memo not about that, but rather directing the FBI to protect school boards from imaginary threats.
00:06:43.240 The memo says, and I'll read it.
00:06:45.380 It says,
00:08:15.380 And that's on both sides.
00:08:17.520 There have been brief scuffles between protesters where nobody got hurt.
00:08:20.960 And that's on both sides, okay?
00:08:22.520 People on both sides of an issue show up.
00:08:24.740 The conversation gets a little bit heated.
00:08:26.860 And then there's a scuffle, and no one really gets hurt.
00:08:30.580 As for threats and intimidation, which is the main thing he's focusing on, I've been at some of these meetings where threats and intimidation allegedly happened.
00:08:38.640 I mean, I've been at the meetings where the media reports, oh, there was threats and intimidation.
00:08:42.320 I've also watched videos of other meetings where it supposedly occurred.
00:08:45.940 And I have heard very little of anything that could be accurately described that way.
00:08:50.260 Mostly, I've heard angry parents expressing their point of view, sometimes raising their voice.
00:08:56.160 God forbid.
00:08:56.840 But that's as far as it goes.
00:08:57.800 And yet, we're supposed to believe that parents getting a little heated during a school board meeting is some kind of national security threat that requires a federal law enforcement response.
00:09:10.380 The FBI has done nothing at all in response to BLM and Tifa rioters, who openly harass and intimidate law enforcement and civilians, often do much worse than that.
00:09:19.780 But now they mobilize against parents at school boards.
00:09:24.680 As someone who's been accused of being, you know, one of the ringleaders of this school board movement, I expect I'll probably be on the FBI Most Wanted list by the end of the week.
00:09:31.860 And it's clear what this is really about.
00:09:34.320 The FBI doesn't care about the harassment of public officials, not generally anyway.
00:09:38.860 If they did, the feds would be tracking down Sinema's harassers and shipping their butts back to Mexico.
00:09:44.380 I mean, they are illegal aliens, as they confessed.
00:09:46.340 No, for all their talk about intimidation, this itself, what the FBI is doing, is an intimidation tactic.
00:09:54.160 This is about intimidating parents, regular working class people, who've had the gall, the nerve, to speak up against the system's indoctrination and abuse of their children.
00:10:04.640 The public school system is the factory.
00:10:06.800 It's the assembly line where kids are shuffled along and they're assembled and packaged in the way the state wants in order to make them ideologically compliant vassals.
00:10:16.740 But this grassroots, non-violent uprising of parents at school boards has threatened that system and exposed it, and the powers that be cannot allow it.
00:10:25.160 What this means, first of all, is that the law is dead in this country.
00:10:30.840 Now, that's not hyperbole.
00:10:31.900 It's dead.
00:10:32.900 And it's been the case for quite some time.
00:10:34.980 When federal law enforcement is mobilized against middle-class parents who are upset at their school board members,
00:10:40.620 that's a sign, one of the more glaring signs, but certainly not the only one,
00:10:44.900 that there's no higher law in this country beyond the whims and desires of the elites.
00:10:48.520 The law is don't upset or interfere with them.
00:10:51.820 That's the only law.
00:10:53.660 They recognize no other.
00:10:56.700 But it also means, on the positive side, that our work in these school board meetings is having an effect.
00:11:02.580 It's making a difference.
00:11:03.740 Which means, now is the time to double down, not back down.
00:11:10.500 That means keep showing up, keep speaking out.
00:11:13.220 And I can tell you that's exactly what I'll be doing.
00:11:14.780 Now, let's get to our five headlines.
00:11:24.500 Now, a word from Relief Band.
00:11:26.900 Did you know that a third of Americans regularly suffer from nausea?
00:11:30.700 And I am one of those sufferers.
00:11:32.620 It's just many, one of the many victim groups I belong to.
00:11:36.520 Also, as a colorblind American, as an American who suffers from allergies,
00:11:41.120 I have all those bases covered.
00:11:43.400 But nausea is no joke.
00:11:45.120 And if you're looking for a better solution to keeping nausea out of your life,
00:11:48.540 you've got to check out Relief Band.

00:12:40.380 So just wrapping things up here in Wisconsin.
00:12:44.360 I'm in Milwaukee right now, and we spoke at, I was at Wisconsin Whitewater University yesterday.
00:12:52.700 And it was a great event, great turnout, and all of that was wonderful.
00:12:59.100 There is this weird, you know, coincidence.
00:13:01.580 I mean, I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but I find this very often in the speeches that I give
00:13:05.540 at universities, very often they end up having, you know, incidentally,
00:13:11.960 these weird problems with their air conditioning.
00:13:14.360 And so quite often I find myself in rooms where, you know,
00:13:17.780 and there's 250 people packed in there, and the air conditioning's not working.
00:13:22.800 And that's what happened yesterday.
00:13:23.940 So the air conditioning works.
00:13:25.000 It's like the weird thing is, again, I'm sure it's just a coincidence.
00:13:27.880 It's not a conspiracy theory, right?
00:13:29.000 How could I ever imply that anything intentional would be done by the university
00:13:34.240 because they don't want me there?
00:13:35.180 But it's strange how, oh, you know, we can't get the AC to work in this one room.
00:13:40.060 Every other room around this room, it works fine.
00:13:42.220 But, yeah, this one, it's real complicated.
00:13:43.880 We can't get it on.
00:13:44.660 We'd have to go across the campus.
00:13:47.840 We'd have to, like, climb a mountain, and there'd be a troll.
00:13:50.680 We'd have to answer some riddles and then go into a cave,
00:13:52.740 and that's where the AC control is for this particular room, and we just can't do it.
00:13:56.880 Yeah, I'm sure it makes sense.
00:13:59.440 But it was kind of funny on the way.
00:14:01.060 So, you know, at the speech, I'm always ready and eager when I give these speeches because we do the Q&A at the end.
00:14:08.440 And I'm always ready and eager to engage with any of the opposition, the people who don't want me there, especially the students.
00:14:18.040 They're always welcome to come to the events.
00:14:20.200 And, in fact, you know, if you disagree with me, then you could even get to the front of the line in the Q&A in most of these events.
00:14:31.320 But especially recently, and when I say recently, I mean the last, I don't know, year or so,
00:14:37.460 they just don't show up.
00:14:39.840 They don't come to the events.
00:14:40.960 And they especially don't want to say anything in the Q&A.
00:14:43.620 But they will stand outside.
00:14:44.800 So there was, I guess, the LGBT group on campus at Wisconsin-Whitewater.
00:14:50.580 They didn't want to go to the event.
00:14:54.180 They didn't want to do that.
00:14:55.140 They didn't want their ears to be subjected, their minds to be subjected to the scary opinions.
00:15:01.260 But they were outside.
00:15:02.480 They were actually marching outside around the building, chanting who knows what.
00:15:07.940 And it just so happens, and I hate myself for this.
00:15:13.100 I mean, I was telling Sean, my producer, on the way back that I just, like, I hate myself for not taking out my camera and filming this.
00:15:20.980 You know, most people these days, their first reaction to anything is to get their phone out and start filming.
00:15:26.180 I have the opposite thing where I never think to film.
00:15:28.960 I mean, aliens could actually land on Earth.
00:15:30.700 And I wouldn't even think to pull my phone out and get it documented.
00:15:32.840 So on the way out, we were walking to our car, and it just so happened that the march, the march against me was walking by at that exact moment.
00:15:40.720 So I was walking alongside my own, actually in my own protest march, for a good, like, 100 feet to my car.
00:15:49.420 And it was just kind of funny.
00:15:50.940 I tried to engage with them, but they didn't want to engage.
00:15:54.700 All they did was they just kept on chanting.
00:15:55.980 All right, let's start with this.
00:16:01.180 So Facebook went down yesterday, mysteriously.
00:16:05.900 Very odd timing.
00:16:08.300 First of all, for a website like Facebook to go down for hours, I mean, this was like five or six hours it was down, is already pretty unusual.
00:16:18.160 I think this is the longest outage Facebook has ever had, I'm pretty sure.
00:16:21.220 But it happened right when they were under attack from the media and the left for not properly suppressing conservative content.
00:16:29.720 I haven't quite worked out what the conspiracy theory should be for this.
00:16:33.940 It just, it seems intuitively obvious that there's probably some kind of connection.
00:16:38.840 I mean, that's a hell.
00:16:39.740 They have their worst outage right at the moment when they're getting the worst PR.
00:16:45.160 Interesting.
00:16:46.300 But I'm not, I'll let someone else fill in the blanks.
00:16:48.000 Like, what is, what's the connection?
00:16:49.140 Let's have fun with the conspiracy there.
00:16:51.220 I haven't, I haven't been able to think much about that.
00:16:53.060 I haven't put it all together.
00:16:54.380 But they, Facebook went out, along with Instagram and all their other, you know, WhatsApp and all the other apps that they, that they own.
00:17:01.180 Right as this, as this pressure campaign is mounting and there's going to be testimony on Capitol Hill, I believe today, about Facebook.
00:17:08.480 But we have to keep something in mind.
00:17:12.520 Like I said yesterday, starting the show in the opening monologue.
00:17:16.440 A lot of conservatives, I'd say probably all of us, even if we use Facebook, we're still not big fans of Facebook.
00:17:25.760 We're critics of, I certainly am a critic of big tech in general.
00:17:28.220 But the left, when they're going after big tech and going after Facebook especially, it's not for the same reason.
00:17:37.240 So this, this is not an enemy of my enemies situation where we can link arms together and work on this project of trying to take down Facebook.
00:17:45.280 And that was made obvious.
00:17:48.240 I mean, if you listen to what the media has been saying about this, it's very obvious.
00:17:50.880 Here's just one clip.
00:17:51.880 This is MSNBC and Claire McCaskill talking about the problem that they see with Facebook yesterday.
00:17:58.820 Watch.
00:18:00.000 This is a personal opinion.
00:18:01.700 I think Facebook is the most maligned force in this country.
00:18:05.340 Other than crimes, criminal enterprises, drug deals, drug dealers, gangs are obviously more maligned than Facebook.
00:18:12.620 But of the things that aren't illegal or criminal, I think Facebook is the most damaging influence in this country.
00:18:18.920 And to say we balanced, you know, the bottom line with keeping our people together is absolute hogwash.
00:18:25.280 Do you think they'll be eaten up on Capitol Hill or do you think this is still a blind spot?
00:18:30.300 Well, first of all, let's back the truck up a little bit.
00:18:33.780 Congress, when the Internet began, decided they were going to make it the Wild West.
00:18:38.780 There was going to be literally no regulation.
00:18:40.860 And in fact, went so far as to give all of these sites immunity from anything bad that is posted on their sites.
00:18:48.520 Now, fast forward.
00:18:50.600 The Internet has been an amazing economic engine in this country.
00:18:54.120 But what these all of these sites figured out is if they track you, they know what you want to buy and that monetizes it.
00:19:00.920 And for Facebook and other sites, if you're afraid or you're angry, you're going to hang out more.
00:19:06.820 OK. And when they talk about afraid and angry, they are talking about right wingers.
00:19:11.180 That's what they mean.
00:19:12.520 That's what they mean when they say just like when they talk about misinformation, hate speech, all that.
00:19:16.160 All that is just all that means right wing content and all right wing content.
00:19:20.640 All right wing content is automatically misinformation, angry, hate speech, unsafe, et cetera and so forth.
00:19:28.860 And that's also their interest in the Facebook whistleblower.
00:19:31.620 Now, this this whistleblower, Frances Haugen, again, talked about it yesterday.
00:19:37.520 She was a former Facebook employee and now she's she and she was started leaking internal documents about the inner workings of Facebook.
00:19:47.000 And and then she had the the 60 Minutes interview.
00:19:51.420 Now she's going to be on Capitol Hill.
00:19:53.720 The media loves her.
00:19:54.980 Democrat Party loves her.
00:19:57.400 Already, you know, it's just calling her a whistleblower is absurd to begin with.
00:20:03.280 Whistleblower is another one of those terms that has really lost all meaning.
00:20:09.320 A whistleblower is supposed to be someone from within an organization who's revealing secrets.
00:20:16.260 You know, damaging secrets that are that but that are still relevant to the public that we should know.
00:20:21.940 Right.
00:20:23.860 Secrets about ways that organizations are harming the public.
00:20:27.500 Now, I don't doubt that Facebook harms the public, but not in the ways that these people say.
00:20:33.940 But even but but still, what actual secrets has this whistleblower revealed?
00:20:41.340 The one thing she has is that, well, Facebook knows that it's not good for kids to be on Instagram.
00:20:47.320 Of course, they know that everybody knows that.
00:20:50.400 That's not a secret.
00:20:53.400 That anyone with a brain, any parent with a brain already knows that your kid shouldn't be on Instagram.
00:20:58.140 That's why I put the onus on parents.
00:21:01.880 Don't give your kid the smartphone.
00:21:05.340 So that that's that's what else is there?
00:21:07.420 What what other information has she revealed about it?
00:21:10.580 I don't doubt that there is plenty of damaging information about Facebook that a real whistleblower could reveal.
00:21:20.640 But this is a fake whistleblower.
00:21:22.220 And the fact that she's choosing this, that these are the the the secret she's telling.
00:21:28.980 These are the skeletons that she's bringing out of the closet.
00:21:31.680 There's one headline about the whistleblower and it's the headline was something like whistleblower reveals that Facebook values profit above all else or something like that.
00:21:48.520 You know, Facebook values profit whistleblower reveals.
00:21:53.500 Oh, my gosh.
00:21:54.240 Are you serious?
00:21:55.920 This multi gazillion dollar behemoth cares about profit.
00:22:00.060 I have no idea.
00:22:02.180 Glad we got the whistleblower on the case.
00:22:06.300 But there is a now there are people kind of blowing the whistle on the whistleblower.
00:22:11.200 So here's the Washington Free Beacon says the Facebook whistleblower who revealed herself in a 60 minutes interview is getting strategic communications guidance.
00:22:18.500 From a top Democratic operative, according to a source with direct knowledge of the relationship, which was confirmed by another half dozen sources with indirect knowledge of the partnership.
00:22:26.700 Frances Haugen, the former Facebook employee, is working with the political consultant and former Obama administration deputy press secretary Bill Burton and his consulting firm Bryson Gillette.
00:22:39.180 It is unclear when Haugen's relationship with Burton and Bryson Gillette began, how big her communications team is and whether it includes other political operatives.
00:22:45.980 But Burton is now deeply integrated with an emerging infrastructure on left on the left, comprised of individuals and organizations, including the nonprofit Center for Humane Technology, seeking to press Facebook to more aggressively police political content.
00:22:58.740 And then if you look at the executive board of this Bryson Gillette organization, which I have, you see nothing but former Obama administration officials, people who have worked on Elizabeth Warren's campaign.
00:23:11.520 I mean, okay, nothing but Democrat operatives.
00:23:15.340 So she's got this Democratic operative firm, this Democratic PR firm that she's teaming up with to reveal these secrets about Facebook that are not secrets at all.
00:23:28.180 If it wasn't obvious by now, what's really going on here, hopefully it is now.
00:23:33.980 So I say again, I understand that conservatives don't like Facebook, but you have to understand that the corporate media is attacking them because the corporate media wants to be the sole gatekeepers deciding what you're told and who tells it.
00:23:47.400 So if you are locking arms with them, it is to your detriment.
00:23:52.660 A world without social media is a world where the corporate media once again controls almost all of the information and determines which perspectives are heard.
00:24:03.660 So that's what they're pining for.
00:24:05.980 It's the only thing they care about.
00:24:07.520 I am, as you know, a critic of big tech, but my criticism is from the opposite angle.
00:24:14.720 I want the companies to stop censoring conservative speech.
00:24:19.100 But the pressure right now is coming from people who are mad they don't do it more.
00:24:25.440 Which means, again, that this is not an enemy of my enemy's situation where we can join with corporate media to take down Facebook.
00:24:32.920 Because the media wants to destroy and silence you.
00:24:37.700 Not Facebook.
00:24:39.540 And they see this as an important step in achieving that goal.
00:24:44.680 It's crucial to draw this distinction.
00:24:49.040 So when I hear conservatives saying, oh, you know, Facebook went down yesterday.
00:24:52.280 When it went down, conservatives say, oh, it's better.
00:24:55.260 I hope it never comes back.
00:24:56.780 I hope Twitter goes down and never comes back.
00:24:58.400 I understand the sentiment.
00:24:59.880 I do.
00:25:02.440 But you understand who that would benefit most of all, right?
00:25:05.380 That's going to benefit the corporate media.
00:25:10.040 Because these are their big competitors for the dissemination of information.
00:25:15.020 And that's going to get rid of that.
00:25:18.880 This is why they hate Facebook right now.
00:25:23.600 Because they know that people like me can get out there and talk to you.
00:25:27.760 And use this platform to do it.
00:25:29.140 There are other platforms, too.
00:25:30.100 But Facebook is still a platform where you can do that.
00:25:31.900 So we just, in our messaging and in our goals with social media, it's not that we're going to blindly defend social media.
00:25:44.560 It's, oh, no, Facebook, I love it.
00:25:46.240 They're angels.
00:25:47.420 That's not it at all.
00:25:49.220 There are major problems with Facebook.
00:25:50.640 But our criticisms are coming from completely the opposite end here.
00:25:54.800 We want entirely different things.
00:25:58.280 All right.
00:25:59.840 You guys want to vomit?
00:26:01.860 If you do, you're in luck.
00:26:03.860 Because Disney is making a documentary about Fauci called Fauci.
00:26:08.300 And here's the trailer.
00:26:10.040 Watch.
00:26:10.280 When you got sick, you were gone fast.
00:26:39.200 It's affecting you now.
00:26:41.240 Yeah.
00:26:42.060 Why?
00:26:43.420 Post-traumatic stress syndrome.
00:26:46.000 When COVID hit, he became this target.
00:26:49.460 My dad said, we're going to get through this whole thing.
00:26:51.940 And he's held back.
00:26:53.500 You don't do it because you want to make money.
00:26:55.460 You don't do it for the glory.
00:26:56.960 You do it because you care.
00:26:58.780 When you're involved in a race to stop a horrible disease, you always feel you're not doing things quickly enough.
00:27:09.200 I mean, I had to endure that.
00:27:12.400 So I chose to make you suffer with me.
00:27:16.200 Fauci, who has been nothing but, I mean, by anyone's standard, no matter where you stand on COVID and what the right policies are and everything else.
00:27:28.080 By anyone's standard, Fauci has been an abysmal failure.
00:27:36.120 Going back to the AIDS epidemic, his entire career, he has been a failure.
00:27:40.820 It's hard.
00:27:44.060 You put anyone in Fauci's position, it's hard to see how things would be worse right now.
00:27:49.340 I can imagine them being better.
00:27:51.360 I don't see how they'd be worse.
00:27:52.600 You just, you put, you take Fauci out and put a, I don't know, like a raccoon in that position and, you know, a dead one, roadkill.
00:28:05.760 And I don't see how things could be worse than they are right now.
00:28:08.000 But this is, this is the glory of being a bureaucrat is that no matter how bad you do, you're still, you're still, you get to keep your job.
00:28:17.900 Sometimes you're celebrated as some sort of hero.
00:28:20.480 But you see something like that and it just, it, it, it sinks in yet again how COVID, even though he's done an abysmal job in the face of, of this crisis, still COVID has been probably the best thing that ever happened to him.
00:28:38.220 And he absolutely loves the attention, which is why he's on, he doesn't have to be on TV every single day, especially not now, but, but he is because he, he loves it.
00:28:50.480 And he's not the only one in a position like that who feels that way about it.
00:28:55.340 All right.
00:28:58.300 Let's play another video that if, if that, if that didn't get you hurling, let's play one more.
00:29:02.360 So this is from a, a preschool and I'm not sure where the preschool is, but here they are encouraging the kids or forcing the kids really to sing an ode to the mask.
00:29:16.940 Listen to this.
00:29:17.700 One, two, three, I wear a mask to school.
00:29:24.180 I wear a mask to school.
00:29:27.620 Hi ho the derry oh, I wear a mask to school.
00:29:33.060 It helps to keep me safe.
00:29:35.860 It helps to keep me safe.
00:29:38.600 Hi ho the derry oh, it helps to keep me safe.
00:29:42.920 It keeps my friends safe.
00:29:45.740 It keeps my friends safe.
00:29:48.740 Hi ho the derry oh, it keeps my friends safe.
00:29:53.460 And let me see a hooray.
00:29:55.020 Put your hands up in the air.
00:29:56.180 I think, of course, the kids aren't, are hardly even singing along.
00:29:59.960 They're just totally confused.
00:30:02.780 And that's how all kids that age are reacting to all of this.
00:30:07.020 They have no idea what's going on.
00:30:10.500 They don't understand why they have to wear the mask, but, but they do because the adults around them are telling them to.
00:30:15.360 And, and, and it keeps them safe.
00:30:21.960 Until it starts to really settle into their minds.
00:30:25.480 And they get to the point where, you know, they're, they're afraid not to wear the mask.
00:30:37.160 And that's, and that's when you know you've done the permanent damage to them, potentially.
00:30:44.680 I mean, I, it's, none of us can really imagine what it, what it must be like for these kids.
00:30:48.880 Because none of us have been in, none of us had to deal with this when we were this age.
00:30:53.220 I mean, there, there, there are quite a lot of things that kids, little kids that age, these days have to deal with that none of us did.
00:31:04.180 You think about the assault that's underway against their basic sanity.
00:31:10.300 We, we didn't have that.
00:31:13.840 And it's not like we didn't have transmissible diseases when we were kids.
00:31:17.980 We had transmissible diseases that were more threatening to us than COVID is to these kids.
00:31:24.200 Like the flu.
00:31:26.580 Never any conversation about wearing a mask.
00:31:32.680 So that, along with this attack on their identity through the gender ideology.
00:31:37.960 I mean, these are, these are what these kids are, are dealing with every single day.
00:31:40.660 And it's just, it's impossible for us to, to see the world through their eyes.
00:31:48.580 And to, to understand, to really understand what it's doing to them psychologically.
00:31:52.740 But we know that it's nothing good.
00:31:56.560 So I'm not sure, five years from now, ten years from now, what state are these kids in?
00:32:02.560 That, and they, you know, they can only understand things on a very simple, in a very simple way.
00:32:16.700 And so for them, what they're being told is that the air is dangerous.
00:32:21.220 And I don't want to directly breathe the air because I might die.
00:32:26.140 And I don't want to directly breathe around other people.
00:32:28.360 I might kill them or they might kill me.
00:32:29.780 And this is drilled into their heads, even in the form of these cultish sing-alongs, every single day.
00:32:38.320 Even when the mask thing goes away, if it ever does.
00:32:44.240 What effect does that have on kids?
00:32:45.700 Where are kids psychologically after that?
00:32:48.800 Well, we have no idea.
00:32:50.420 They're, they're guinea pigs.
00:32:51.820 So we'll, we'll check back in ten years and see what kind of damage it did them.
00:32:55.620 Whatever it is, we know it's going to be pretty significant.
00:32:57.720 And related to that, this is from the New York Post.
00:33:00.840 It says, the United States, the United States is a strict mask guidance for kids goes against policies across much of the globe.
00:33:08.060 The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention advises masking for all school kids, two and older.
00:33:13.720 That's earlier than the World Health Organization, European Union, and United Kingdom.
00:33:17.860 A professor of medicine at Stanford University said, kids need to see faces.
00:33:24.420 Youngsters watch people's mouths to learn, to speak, read, and understand emotions, he said.
00:33:30.680 We have this idea, this is, this again is from this professor.
00:33:34.360 We have this idea that this disease is so bad that we must adopt any means necessary to stop it from spreading.
00:33:39.460 It's not that masks in school have no cost.
00:33:42.560 They actually do have substantial costs.
00:33:45.780 Now, I seem to remember someone making this exact point at a school board meeting in a speech about how kids need to see each other's faces.
00:33:53.540 And they need to see their, their teachers' faces and see their lips moving, moving in order to learn to read and to speak properly.
00:34:00.960 I remember someone making that point.
00:34:03.540 Oh yeah, I think it was me.
00:34:05.880 And I was told that this is anti-scientific, that it's absurd, that it's a, that it's a conspiracy theory.
00:34:14.800 And yet this is exactly why most countries around the globe are not putting masks on kids at this age.
00:34:21.920 The U.K. no longer advises masking for students or staff at all.
00:34:25.780 England recommends against masking for anyone younger than three for health and safety reasons.
00:34:32.040 The European Center for Disease Prevention and Control advises masking when feasible for those older than 12, but recommends against masking for primary school students.
00:34:42.360 The WHO advises children five and under should never be required to mask.
00:34:46.360 The UN agency says, quote, this is based on the safety and overall interest of the child and the capacity to appropriately use a mask with minimal assistance.
00:34:57.200 And so those are countries around the globe, health organizations.
00:35:04.920 And yet, if you here in America were to say what the World Health Organization says, or to, you know, side with the public health authorities, so-called, in any other nation around the globe, it'll be tagged as misinformation.
00:35:27.520 Because, because, because apparently we are human beings, right, it turns out, and our kids are human beings.
00:35:36.780 And I know that's something that hasn't dawned on a lot of leftists especially.
00:35:40.120 But our kids are human beings.
00:35:41.300 And as human beings, you know, there's more, there's more to your existence than just your physical safety.
00:35:47.500 There's a lot more that goes into life.
00:35:52.400 And there's a lot more that needs to be protected and fostered.
00:35:58.040 And so when you say the only thing that matters is just physical safety and that's it, you're making a choice.
00:36:08.000 You know, you're making a sacrifice.
00:36:09.740 And obviously that sacrifice is not always going to be worth it.
00:36:12.680 All right, I don't know if you care about this story at all, but we talked briefly about the controversy surrounding the Ravens and their game against Denver on Sunday when they were up by two scores with three seconds left in the game.
00:36:25.180 And rather than take a knee and end it, they ran for another play to try to get an NFL rushing record.
00:36:30.120 Anyway, people, especially in sports media, this has been a topic of conversation.
00:36:34.260 And people have been very mad about this.
00:36:36.240 And so is Denver's coach, Vic Fangio, who, you know, if you don't follow football, you might not realize that this is very rare for a coach to say what you're going to hear him say, attacking another coach in this way and in these terms.
00:36:46.960 But here's what he had to say about that.
00:36:48.360 Listen to this.
00:36:49.760 Did you have a problem with the last play that Baltimore ran?
00:36:52.860 Yeah, I thought it was kind of bulls**t, but I expected it from them.
00:36:57.040 You know, I've 37 years in pro ball, I've never seen anything like that.
00:37:01.480 So, but it was to be expected and we expected it.
00:37:06.020 Why did you expect it from them?
00:37:07.840 Because I just know how they operate.
00:37:09.960 You know, they, that's just their, you know, mode of operation there.
00:37:15.220 Player safety is secondary.
00:37:17.040 Was that something anybody even really talked about that they had 42 straight or whatever the number was, 100 yard games?
00:37:22.260 We didn't talk about it during the week, but I'm sure the players were aware of it.
00:37:25.660 You guys made them well aware of it.
00:37:27.740 That's just embarrassing.
00:37:28.620 Imagine being a professional head coach and you're crying on camera because you lost to another team and they weren't merciful enough with you.
00:37:40.720 But I see this as part of the trend and you see it in football.
00:37:44.860 You see it probably in every sport.
00:37:46.160 Football is the main one that I follow, so I can speak to that.
00:37:48.440 But we're taking the competitive, you know, little by little, you're chipping away from the competitive spirit of the sport.
00:37:58.500 But now it's a, it's a, a controversy if an NFL team, they just, they played, football game is 60 minutes.
00:38:07.720 They played for all 60 minutes.
00:38:10.060 And they, when you're on the football field, the objective is to gain yards.
00:38:13.660 And so, uh, it, on your way to, to scoring points.
00:38:18.040 And so they tried to gain yards every play that they had the ball, which, which again is the objective of the game.
00:38:22.900 And people are getting very upset about that.
00:38:26.180 Oh, it's not, it's not nice to, it might hurt their feelings.
00:38:29.520 Think about all those professional football players on the other side of that ball or paid, paid, paid, paid millions of dollars to play a child's game.
00:38:36.400 You're really hurting their feelings, making them feel bad about themselves.
00:38:41.040 Little by little, we chip away at the competitive spirit.
00:38:43.100 And this is happening at the younger levels, especially, but also the professional level, which is a problem because this is the, the value of sports.
00:38:55.680 One of the, one of the primary things that makes it valuable and worthwhile is, um, you know, fostering a little bit of that healthy, competitive spirit.
00:39:07.200 And it is a, you know, it's a, it is a controlled environment for people to be competitive and to, you know, try, try to, try to win, try to strive towards a goal.
00:39:22.240 It's a good thing to teach kids, you know, how to be competitive with it, within the rules.
00:39:28.800 You have the rules.
00:39:29.840 Here's the objective of the game here.
00:39:31.940 Here's, here's another team.
00:39:33.040 They're going to try to stop you from achieving that objective and, um, try to go achieve it anyway.
00:39:39.960 So you learn not only how to be competitive, you learn about being, about perseverance.
00:39:44.780 Many, many, many, many, many great things come from this.
00:39:47.940 Sports can be very valuable to society in that way.
00:39:51.180 But we're taking it away a little by little.
00:39:53.200 All right, let's get now to reading the comments.
00:39:56.680 This theocratic house's dictatorship is on its way.
00:40:00.680 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.
00:40:06.140 We're the sweet baby gang.
00:40:11.320 Taylor Crawford says, chasing someone down and confronting them in the bathroom is middle school level immature.
00:40:18.380 But I would say it's, it's worse than, than that.
00:40:20.680 It's far worse than immature.
00:40:22.700 It's, again, it's illegal.
00:40:24.240 And somehow that, that, the fact that it's illegal to film someone in a bathroom against, without their consent, that has somehow been lost in this conversation.
00:40:35.920 That, we haven't even been asking that.
00:40:39.060 Are we going to, are these girls going to be charged with a crime because they did commit a crime?
00:40:42.260 Boeem says, if Matt's producer sees this, make Matt a Discord account and make him review Scott's server.
00:40:52.940 I don't know what that means.
00:40:53.960 I don't know what any of those words mean.
00:40:55.720 Well, I know Matt.
00:40:56.380 I know what that means.
00:40:56.940 But the rest, I don't.
00:40:59.320 Mr. X says, if no one has land rights, what made it theirs in the first place?
00:41:04.520 How could it be stolen?
00:41:05.700 Right, well, that's, that's one of the many reasons why this claim about America being on stolen land is totally absurd.
00:41:17.380 I mean, this, this, who is, who does this whole plot of land that is the continental United States, who is it supposed to belong to exactly?
00:41:27.240 And why them?
00:41:28.120 Listen, as I, as I always say with these things, the, the, the, the entire globe, every inhabited inch of the globe, with the exception of Antarctica, right, which is not inhabited.
00:41:44.720 So everywhere else where, where there are people, it has been fought over and bled over.
00:41:51.780 And that's the way the globe was settled.
00:41:53.600 That's the way the lines were drawn.
00:41:54.940 And that's the case everywhere you go.
00:42:00.840 Because for thousands of years, how did you determine who, whose, whose land it was?
00:42:09.640 Well, if you could take the land, then it was yours.
00:42:13.160 And if you could defend it, then it remained yours.
00:42:16.780 If you couldn't take it, then it wasn't yours.
00:42:18.560 And if you couldn't defend it, then it wasn't yours.
00:42:21.340 That's how these things were settled.
00:42:22.920 That's really the answer to the answer to the question.
00:42:24.620 Who has the land rights?
00:42:27.160 Well, whoever could take it and defend it had it.
00:42:29.120 That's it.
00:42:31.380 And that's the rule that everybody abided by.
00:42:35.620 And you know what?
00:42:36.360 It's, it's still the rule today.
00:42:40.140 I mean, if China decides they want to invade the United States and we're not able to stop them and they just take it over.
00:42:45.320 I don't, I don't, I don't quite see that happening yet.
00:42:49.600 We're not quite at that point.
00:42:51.540 Maybe sometime in the future, unfortunately.
00:42:55.080 But if they do, then, then, then they do.
00:42:57.500 They just, they, they take it.
00:42:58.520 Well, we could sit there all we want and try to, and appeal to some higher authority which says that this land is supposed to belong to us.
00:43:05.380 But, practically speaking, it belongs to whoever can take it.
00:43:11.240 That was certainly the way of the world for thousands of years.
00:43:15.600 Certainly the way Native American tribes functioned.
00:43:19.400 And even today, although we feel insulated from some of these realities, some of these more brutal realities of life, that insulation is mostly a figment of our imagination.
00:43:32.360 And it's a lot more tenuous than we think.
00:43:36.360 Thomas says, Matt, on the cell phone discussion, I think that a broader point I heard this past Sunday applies.
00:43:42.020 Maybe we stopped disciplining our kids around the time that we stopped disciplining ourselves.
00:43:46.380 Yeah, and when we talk about the fact that kids are allowed to be on their cell phones and parents give cell phones to their kids and let them play on their cell phones all day.
00:43:52.980 Yeah, that's an important point here.
00:43:55.800 And that's one of the big reasons why parents do this is because the parents themselves want to be able to be on their phone.
00:44:05.220 You know, that's, that's probably the primary motivation.
00:44:08.580 I think it's, it's two things.
00:44:10.140 For parents that, you know, will give a smartphone with internet access to their 10-year-old, there are two things that motivate it.
00:44:15.320 One is, well, it's just what people do and, you know, it's what all his friends do.
00:44:19.000 And the other is, hey, I want to be able to watch TV or be on my phone.
00:44:25.540 And if my kid is, then he's not bothering me.
00:44:29.080 So, I think you're exactly right about that.
00:44:31.540 And Elf Princess says, Matt, I'm going to counter your Thai complaint with two words, high heels.
00:44:38.440 Yeah, I don't buy that.
00:44:39.360 Sorry, Elf Princess.
00:44:41.080 Because you don't have to wear high heels.
00:44:42.480 I don't want to hear complaints about high heels.
00:44:44.480 That's true.
00:44:45.060 I don't, I don't envy that at all.
00:44:47.520 I don't understand even in terms of physics, how that works, how you walk in those.
00:44:51.320 Doesn't, doesn't, it seems to defy the laws of science.
00:44:53.700 And, but you don't, you don't have to wear, when was the last time you were at an event where you had to wear high heels?
00:44:59.860 Okay, no, you go, if you have to go to a formal event, the rule is you have to wear some kind of formal foot attire.
00:45:07.700 But you have many options.
00:45:10.380 And that's the privilege that women have.
00:45:12.260 They have many options for what they can wear in these kinds of situations.
00:45:17.220 For men, yeah, we can wear just normal dress shoes, but we have to wear the suit.
00:45:21.700 We don't have that choice.
00:45:23.080 We do not have bodily autonomy in those situations.
00:45:28.500 Okay, so we are the victims.
00:45:29.800 That's my point.
00:45:30.540 Well, this podcast is brought to you today by another podcast, and that is the Jordan Harbinger Show.
00:45:36.060 Listen, if you're sick and tired of the subpar slop that passes for most podcasts today, including especially this one that I'm recording in a damned hotel, then you've got to check out the Jordan Harbinger Show.

00:45:57.460 I don't really know because you're watching this show after all.

00:46:04.500 And there are tons of episodes you'll find interesting since you're a fan of this show.
00:46:08.140 I'd recommend our listeners check out his episodes with Brian Keating and Tony Hawk.
00:46:11.960 There's an episode for everyone, though, no matter what you're into.
00:46:14.980 The show covers stories like how a professional art forger somehow made millions of dollars while being chased by the feds and the mafia.
00:46:21.720 Lots of really interesting stories there.
00:46:23.640 The podcast covers a lot, but one constant is his ability to pull useful pieces of advice from his guests.

00:46:50.440 Here's another podcast you should be listening to instead of mine.

00:47:17.280 I think my podcast has the record for including the most advertisements for other podcasts.
00:47:23.100 And I'm proud of that.
00:47:25.160 But check out Morning Wire.
00:47:26.500 Let's get now to our daily cancellation.
00:47:27.700 Today we turn to a vile, disgusting scumbag who goes by the name Eden Torres.
00:47:38.360 I know I'm coming on kind of strong right in the opening, but hopefully you'll understand why as we proceed here.
00:47:42.120 Eden Torres is a quote-unquote trans woman that is a biological male and a trans activist.
00:47:48.680 And when I say trans activist, I mean that Torres is a vicious, soulless bully
00:47:52.520 who gets off on shaming and harassing people and does it all under the guise of activism.
00:47:56.620 This is how most trans activists work.
00:48:00.000 Left-wing activists in general tend to be callous and ruthless and pathologically self-centered as we've seen.
00:48:04.240 But all of the absolute worst tendencies of left-wing activism are brought together and consolidated among trans activists.
00:48:11.840 Eden Torres is a prime example.
00:48:13.900 Torres, who is a male, went to a sonic drive-in recently.
00:48:17.740 Now for normal people, a trip to a fast food drive-thru has only one purpose.
00:48:20.860 The most obvious one is to get food and eat it and then pay the price, intestinally speaking, later.
00:48:27.240 But for trans activists like Torres, every situation, and especially every encounter with normal working class people,
00:48:33.680 is primarily an opportunity to make themselves into a victim and maybe, as a bonus, ruin some random person's life in the process.
00:48:40.500 That's what Torres has in mind when he showed up to Sonic and was allegedly referred to as Sir after an employee saw his male name on his credit card.
00:48:50.380 This employee may have also noted that Torres has a male voice and a male face and kind of connected the dots quite reasonably.
00:48:58.560 But you're not allowed to be reasonable around people like Torres.
00:49:02.760 And so the sonic manager was summoned, and the camera was turned on, and the trap was set, and here's how the conversation went.
00:49:11.340 That's why.
00:49:12.680 I mean, I'll pull...
00:49:13.940 And why do you want to record me?
00:49:15.720 Because your entire staff has been calling me Sir.
00:49:19.080 Okay, okay. Do you want to park?
00:49:21.720 Why don't you tell me what we can do now?
00:49:24.540 No, because I can do the same thing with you.
00:49:26.200 Okay, but your entire staff has been calling me Sir the entire time.
00:49:31.780 Okay.
00:49:32.640 What about me looks like a Sir right now?
00:49:36.880 Okay?
00:49:37.540 Okay.
00:49:38.540 Can we please move to the side?
00:49:40.020 No.
00:49:42.240 What?
00:49:44.700 Look, I'm sorry, and I apologize for what happened.
00:49:47.820 Okay?
00:49:48.240 If they did that, or, oh, I mean, I'm sorry.
00:49:51.660 What else can I tell you?
00:49:52.580 I mean, ma'am.
00:49:53.660 What else can I tell you?
00:49:55.180 What?
00:49:55.540 If you're, uh, can we please move to the side?
00:49:58.420 If I'm a what?
00:50:00.360 You can move to the side.
00:50:01.640 If I'm a what?
00:50:03.060 I didn't say anything.
00:50:04.600 Okay?
00:50:04.900 Don't try to put any words in my mouth.
00:50:06.800 Okay?
00:50:07.900 Okay.
00:50:09.640 Okay, look.
00:50:11.800 If they call you Sir, I don't know what they did then.
00:50:14.640 Because they saw the name on my credit card, and they were being, they were not being nice people.
00:50:20.100 Well, I mean, they saw your name on the credit card.
00:50:21.920 What do you want, what do you want them to tell you?
00:50:25.300 That has nothing to do with it.
00:50:27.640 There could be someone in the back that they don't see.
00:50:31.240 That's paying.
00:50:32.280 Okay, ma'am.
00:50:33.260 So why would they intentionally do that?
00:50:35.300 Can you tell me what your location has done to be transcompetent?
00:50:39.320 Because clearly they are not.
00:50:42.380 Man, this stuff.
00:50:43.320 I just, I wish I could be, I wish I could witness one of these things sometime.
00:50:49.700 I wish I could be there when it happens.
00:50:53.360 You know, because I would just love to step in and say, hey, yeah, let me, so here's the problem here, sir, is that you're a male.
00:51:01.340 Yeah, you are.
00:51:02.980 Do something about it.
00:51:03.840 Yeah, film me.
00:51:04.440 Go ahead and publicly shame me.
00:51:05.420 See how that works out for you.
00:51:06.280 So that is the answer, Eden.
00:51:11.100 They assume that you are a male because you are, in fact, a male.
00:51:15.140 And while you live every day enveloped in your own narcissism, thinking only about yourself, believing that the world has no purpose but to affirm you, these people had other priorities.
00:51:24.900 Their priority in that moment was to get you your food and move to the next customer.
00:51:30.140 And that ultimately is the great sin they committed, as far as you're concerned.
00:51:32.500 They didn't bow before you and treat you like the god or, I guess, goddess that you think you are.
00:51:38.540 Now, this exchange with the manager went on for several minutes.
00:51:41.340 And let's see how it ended, because it's kind of funny.
00:51:43.940 Watch this.
00:51:45.720 Why does it matter?
00:51:47.500 Oh, it doesn't matter to you.
00:51:48.860 I'm sorry.
00:51:49.260 I mean, but to me, I'm a male.
00:51:51.440 Okay?
00:51:54.600 Okay.
00:51:55.320 So, what are you?
00:51:56.500 So I can call you a sir or a man.
00:51:57.780 What are you?
00:51:58.740 What would you assume looking at me?
00:52:01.200 What are you?
00:52:02.220 What would you assume looking at me?
00:52:04.620 I assume that you're a man.
00:52:07.660 Okay?
00:52:11.100 Okay?
00:52:11.460 Thank you.
00:52:14.080 Whatever.
00:52:16.380 There's a very funny moment there that you miss if you're only listening to the audio.
00:52:22.060 But Eden asks the manager what sex the manager would assume Eden is by looking at him.
00:52:27.700 And the manager says, well, you know, I'd assume you're a man.
00:52:30.060 He was asked a question and he answered it.
00:52:32.160 And then Eden turns the camera around to his face.
00:52:34.020 And I guess we're supposed to see his face and say, well, that's absurd.
00:52:36.860 That's clearly a woman.
00:52:37.660 But instead, the face only affirms the manager's response.
00:52:41.980 A response that he gave because Torres, again, asked for it.
00:52:46.020 So you see how one trap after another is set up.
00:52:48.480 The victim, and the victim, by this I mean the manager, is baited and baited,
00:52:54.160 all while he tries his best to be polite and accommodating.
00:52:57.160 But mere politeness, mere accommodation is not enough.
00:53:01.040 Unquestioned, immediate, submissive affirmation is the only thing that Torres will accept.
00:53:06.020 But anything less is a transphobic assault.
00:53:09.920 Torres, of course, went on to publish all these videos and tag Sonic in an attempt to get the poor guy fired.
00:53:14.900 Sonic responded yesterday afternoon saying, quote, Eden, we have a strict anti-discrimination policy and take this very seriously.
00:53:21.960 We launched an immediate investigation into the incident.
00:53:24.280 And we have reached out to you via TikTok to gather more information needed to complete the investigation.
00:53:30.100 Please feel free to DM us here.
00:53:31.600 I just, I wish Sonic said something like, sir, we don't tolerate discrimination here, sir.
00:53:42.620 Now, it's not clear if the manager will be fired, but the recent history that we've seen with these incidents would suggest that his chances of remaining employed are pretty slim.
00:53:49.840 A corporation like Sonic, they could tell Torres to get lost.
00:53:55.680 Even better, they could condemn his actions and his bullying of their employee and then tell him to get lost.
00:54:00.780 But instead, they'll probably just cave to his demands.
00:54:03.620 As for the videos, they demonstrate an important point.
00:54:07.240 That gender ideology, more than any other leftist doctrine, is spread and propagated by force.
00:54:13.120 What you're witnessing in videos like this is a modern form of forced conversion.
00:54:18.360 Gender activists compel normal people to affirm their doctrines under threat of public shaming, loss of income, or violence, or all three in some cases.
00:54:26.640 In a forced conversion centuries ago, or even today in some parts of the world, you may have been coerced into affirming a religious doctrine under threat of being burned at the stake.
00:54:35.780 Now you're coerced into affirming the doctrines of the gender cult under threat of having everything else in your life, aside from your physical body, incinerated.
00:54:44.600 Trans activists are basically what your public school history teacher told you the Inquisitors weren't.
00:54:50.180 The difference is that the Inquisition has been caricatured.
00:54:53.080 I mean, it was far more defensible than modern-day cancel culture is, especially the cancel campaigns waged by trans activists.
00:54:59.280 Also, in this Inquisition of today, the Inquisitors are not trying to coerce a belief in or submission to any sort of eternal celestial god.
00:55:09.420 Rather, they themselves are the gods.
00:55:12.460 At least that's what they believe, and they want us to believe, or pretend we do.
00:55:17.320 All while posturing as the victim, in an exchange that they instigate with someone who does not want to be a part of it.
00:55:25.860 That's how the game works, and it is repulsive.
00:55:29.280 And that's why today, Eden Torres, the miserable scumbag, is canceled with a vengeance.
00:55:37.280 And we'll leave it there.
00:55:38.300 Thanks for watching.
00:55:39.200 Thanks for listening.
00:55:40.100 Have a great day.
00:55:40.620 Godspeed.
