The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 877 - My Dr. Phil Appearance Caused Trauma And Nightmares

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, I appeared on Dr. Phil to argue about gender and pronouns with a

00:00:04.440 couple of non-binary diversity consultants and a woke college professor. We'll talk about the

00:00:08.520 experience today and watch a few of the clips together. Also, two of my opponents on the stage

00:00:12.360 are now complaining that I have caused them to plunge into depression and they're having

00:00:16.620 nightmares because of me. What did I do to cause such trauma? We'll try to figure that out. And

00:00:20.340 Joe Biden held just his second press conference in a year. It was a total disaster, as you might

00:00:24.080 expect. The media gets caught in yet another fake news scandal and a major car company goes woke,

00:00:28.720 though, as always, it's not really clear what they hope to accomplish by that.

00:00:31.600 We'll discuss all of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:50.160 afternoon. It was my first time appearing on television outside of Fox News and also my first

00:01:54.680 time meeting with a psychologist. Some would say that I should make more of a regular habit of it

00:01:59.120 talking to a psychologist. I mean, not appearing on TV. But unfortunately, not everybody was able to

00:02:04.340 watch the discussion, I'm told. In some markets, it was sidelined by President Biden's press conference.

00:02:10.540 I think we can all agree that of all the terrible things Biden has done during his disastrous tenure,

00:02:14.740 preempting my Dr. Phil episode is by far the worst. Now, there's always a certain risk inherent in

00:02:20.980 walking into an environment like this, especially with the cameras rolling. Of course, I knew that I

00:02:26.360 would be outnumbered on stage in front of a hostile studio audience. And if I had been invited to speak

00:02:32.060 about a more complicated or difficult issue, one that requires you to actually be smart, then that would

00:02:38.700 have given me pause. But the topic of the episode was gender and pronouns, which means that it's not

00:02:44.280 complicated or difficult at all. My position, the correct position, is extremely simple, sensible,

00:02:49.780 obvious, and clear. The only mistake that somebody on my side of the issue can make, and very often

00:02:56.160 people do make this mistake, in a debate of this kind, is to make the subject seem more complicated than

00:03:02.260 it is. Getting lost in the rhetorical weeds and losing sight of the main point. That's where the

00:03:08.940 other side lives. They're out there in the weeds where things are muddy and muddled. They like it out

00:03:14.140 there. They want to obscure the main point, mystifying what is actually quite simple. As long as you refuse

00:03:19.860 to be baited into that trap, and you stay on message, on the firm ground of truth and science and common

00:03:25.920 sense, you can have this conversation anywhere, with anybody, on any platform, in front of any audience,

00:03:30.420 and you will walk away the winner every time. And if you're a naturally argumentative bastard like 0.99

00:03:35.620 myself, you'll even have fun doing it. Now that gives you an idea of my basic strategy. So now we'll 0.98

00:03:40.800 watch some clips of a few of the most important exchanges during the episode, and we'll see how

00:03:44.600 it played out. We'll begin with the opening salvo, which came several minutes into the episode,

00:03:49.380 as the first segment featured just the two non-binary diversity consultants spewing inane garbage 1.00

00:03:55.460 unopposed. And I was backstage for that portion, just pacing back and forth, listening 0.98

00:04:00.380 in horror, muttering incredulously to myself. And when it was my turn, I began by clarifying that

00:04:06.320 everybody that, you know, everything that was said in the previous segment was total nonsense.

00:04:10.320 And then we dived into the pronoun question. Let's watch.

00:04:14.240 There should be no construct of gender, just sex. You're either male or female.

00:04:19.300 Right. And someone feeling in a mental, emotional way that they don't identify with the sex that they

00:04:31.800 have been biologically created as and assigned at birth based on their genitalia. If they don't feel

00:04:42.200 that way, that there's no construct that describes that, experiences that.

00:04:47.300 Well, that's got nothing to do with the reality. So you can feel however you want. I mean, I could sit

00:04:50.660 here and say that I feel like a tomato plant, but that doesn't mean that I'm actually in those

00:04:55.480 things. So your self-perception, you can have whatever self-perception you want, but you can't

00:05:00.180 expect me to take part in that self-perception or to take part in this kind of charade, this theatrical

00:05:05.760 production. You don't get your own pronouns, just like you don't get your own prepositions or your own

00:05:10.500 adjectives. You know, it's like if I were to tell you my adjectives are handsome and brilliant. And

00:05:16.920 no matter, whenever you're talking about me, you have to describe me as handsome and brilliant because

00:05:20.760 that's how I identify. It makes no sense. You don't get your own pronouns. These aren't, that's, that's,

00:05:24.900 that's grammar. That's language.

00:05:26.440 So you think it's a delusion. Someone is self-delusional.

00:05:30.280 Yeah, I think it's, it's delusion. It could be a mental illness. It could be, it's, it's a lot of

00:05:33.820 different. With children, you know, there's also just a basic confusion that all kids have.

00:05:38.860 Like, that's why when you hear, when you, when you hear someone, a parent say, oh, my four-year-old

00:05:43.060 son came, came to me and said that I'm a girl now. And so that's what I'm going to, I'm going to raise

00:05:48.260 him as a girl. No, you're a four-year-old. I have four kids. When a four-year-old boy comes to you and

00:05:53.240 says, oh, I'm a girl. Here's a good follow-up question. What is a girl? Ask him what he means by

00:05:59.020 that. What do you mean by girl? And when you, when you ask him that, here's what he'll tell you.

00:06:02.160 He will tell you what he really means is that he, he wants to do some of the things that girls do,

00:06:07.320 like play with the dollhouse or, or, you know, he likes the color pink. That's fine. Play with

00:06:11.780 the dollhouse, but you're still a boy. I hope you'll respect my preferred adjectives. Of course,

00:06:17.420 the only problem with my adjective comparison is that unlike pronouns, adjectives are in fact

00:06:22.180 subjective. But my point was that the adjectives I use to describe myself are products of my

00:06:28.660 self-perception. I cannot demand that others perceive me the way that I perceive myself.

00:06:34.140 My self-perception is not a joint project shared by me and the rest of human society. For adjectives,

00:06:41.260 it's up to each individual to decide which ones they want to use to describe me. And in my case,

00:06:46.160 a great many people use adjectives to describe me that I find quite disagreeable. I might feel

00:06:50.820 insulted by some of those adjectives. I might lock myself in the bathroom and weep uncontrollably for

00:06:54.900 hours because of them. I do that every day, but I cannot say that I'm being erased or delegitimized

00:07:02.060 because other people refuse to see me the way that I see myself. And in fact, if their competing

00:07:08.580 perception causes some sort of existential crisis for me, it only proves that I'm not so sure of

00:07:16.000 my own self-perception and therefore I'm in no position to criticize anybody else's perception of

00:07:20.240 me. As for pronouns, there is no subjectivity at all. It's not up to any individual, including myself,

00:07:27.220 to decide which ones ought to be used. That question is settled by biological reality. The

00:07:32.100 point of the pronoun is to describe that reality. Just as the point of a verb like running, unless

00:07:38.840 it's used metaphorically, is to convey reality. If I say that somebody is running when they're

00:07:44.100 really sitting, I've conveyed an untruth, whether because I'm confused or a liar or both. And if I call

00:07:51.760 a man a she, I have also expressed an untruth, whether because I'm confused or a liar or both,

00:07:56.360 or perhaps because I'm afraid of getting yelled at if I, if I tell the truth. So we should add

00:08:00.540 coward alongside the options of confused and liar. In any case, the pronoun question led directly to

00:08:06.820 the question, the ultimate, I mean, the question, the ultimate and fundamental question, as far as

00:08:11.140 I'm concerned, which my opponents were not very eager to answer. That's a question I would like to

00:08:18.240 throw out to other members of the panel, actually, because just like the four-year-old can't answer

00:08:22.680 what is a girl. Well, this is one of the problems with this left-wing gender ideology is that no 1.00

00:08:26.960 one who espouses it can even tell you what these words means. Like, what is a woman? Can you tell

00:08:32.820 me what a woman is? No, I can't. Because it's not for me to say. Womanhood looks different for 0.99

00:08:39.200 everybody. What do you define a woman as? An adult human female. And what does a female mean?

00:08:44.360 Well, that's someone with female reproductive organs. Okay. Someone who's, you know, here's the 1.00

00:08:51.160 thing. When you're, when you're a female, it goes right down to your bones, your DNA. So that's why 0.99

00:08:55.040 if someone dies, we could dig up their bones a hundred years from now. We have no idea what they

00:09:00.480 believed in their head, but we can tell what sex they were because it's in, it's down in, it's, it's

00:09:05.040 ingrained in every fiber of their being. Interesting. So I'm trying to understand your definition is

00:09:10.200 that a woman is someone who is female, you said, right? Correct. As a biological female. So what 0.68

00:09:15.380 happens if we have maybe someone who is female, identifies as a woman, right? You know, cisgender 1.00

00:09:20.440 woman, right? As you explained, as you just explained, maybe doesn't have the ability to 1.00

00:09:24.920 reproduce. Maybe doesn't have those organs that you're talking about that are reproductive organs. 0.98

00:09:30.080 I have answered the question. You stood up here and said, trans women are women. Yes. Tell me what

00:09:35.380 you mean. What is a woman? Womanhood is something that, just as Ethan explained, I cannot define

00:09:39.700 because I am not myself. But you used the word. So what did you mean when you said trans women

00:09:42.780 are women if you don't know what it means? Right. So here's the thing. So I do not define

00:09:46.980 what a woman is because I do not identify as a woman. Womanhood is something that is an umbrella 0.94

00:09:51.740 term. It includes people who. That describes what? People who identify as a woman. Identify

00:09:59.300 as what? As a woman. What is that? What's to each their own. Each woman, each man, each person 0.61

00:10:05.840 is going to have a different relation with their own gender identity and define it differently. 0.99

00:10:09.360 That doesn't, I'm not asking you that. And so trans women are women too. Okay. And you 0.75

00:10:14.600 want to, hold on, hold on. You want to reduce, you won't even tell me what the word means

00:10:18.840 though. So that's the problem. You want to reduce women, you want to reduce men down to maybe 1.00

00:10:21.760 just their genetics, our genitals, our chromosomes, right? That's what you're saying. What you want 0.65

00:10:27.200 to do is appropriate women. You want to appropriate womanhood and turn it into basically a costume 1.00

00:10:32.880 that could be worn. Now the episode continued for another 45 minutes after that, but that was

00:10:37.260 really the end of the conversation. I could have gotten up and walked off the stage right

00:10:39.880 there, which would have been funny. Um, the other side was there to argue that trans women 0.95

00:10:44.040 are women and that anyone can be a woman if that's how they feel about themselves. And 0.79

00:10:47.320 yet they could not explain what they meant when they use that term. Trans women are women. 0.91

00:10:51.240 What's a woman? Well, who knows? The statement trans women are women means nothing in that 0.94

00:10:56.280 case. They don't know what they mean when they say it. They don't understand their own

00:11:00.620 position. Game over. You notice the obscurantist tactic at work here because the bearded gentleman

00:11:06.920 had declared in the previous segment, uh, to the, to raucous applause that trans women are women.

00:11:12.800 And I asked him what he means. And he immediately hopped on the circular logic merry-go-round

00:11:18.080 rambling a bunch of hazy gibberish about how only women can define the word women. That doesn't make

00:11:22.960 any sense because for one thing, he's not an elephant, but I'm sure he can tell me what an elephant

00:11:27.220 is. Also, even the statement that only women can define women requires you to know what a woman 0.90

00:11:33.860 is. Otherwise, how can you know who has the right to define it and who doesn't? Well, the answer is

00:11:39.660 that he knows who a woman is because they're the ones who say they're women. And we know that they 0.97

00:11:44.000 are right in their claims of being women because they're saying it. And they say they're women 0.97

00:11:47.980 because they are women. And they are women because they say they're women. Around and around we go, 0.79

00:11:52.520 or they go anyway. They hope to pull you onto the merry-go-round with them, making you as dizzy and

00:11:58.380 confused as they are, which is why it's important to have simple answers, simple definitions, simple

00:12:04.240 responses, and you stick to them. Let them twirl around and tie themselves into knots. You're standing

00:12:10.120 on solid ground. Stay there. One more clip worth playing after a very awkward commercial break where

00:12:16.220 everybody sat in silence. Awkward for them anyway. You know, I thought the whole situation was pretty

00:12:20.360 hilarious. We came back with a, with a supposed gender expert and college professor who provoked 1.00

00:12:25.560 applause from the trained seals in the audience when she hit me with the old, why do you care so

00:12:30.180 much routine? There's biological sex and then there is gender identity. Part of me wants to ask why you 0.94

00:12:37.400 care so much, uh, because it's really not that big of a deal. I'd love to, I'd love to answer that

00:12:43.920 question. I care about the truth. So, so basic truth matters. I want to live in a society where people care

00:12:48.900 about the truth and we're grounded in truth. Um, I care about children and this, these insane ideas

00:12:53.680 about gender are being, are being foist on kids. Um, and that, that bothers me quite a bit. I care

00:12:59.460 about the women who are having their opportunities stolen from them. I care quite a bit. Yeah.

00:13:04.540 Now, another point I didn't have the chance to make there is that, um, is that she wants me to

00:13:10.100 care. She says, why do you care? Well, I could have said, because you want me to. The other two people

00:13:14.700 on the stage, they want me to care also. Their whole job is to go around insisting that everybody

00:13:19.820 care about this issue. These people march in literal parades with banners and floats screaming

00:13:25.980 into bullhorns that we all should care. It's just that they want me to care in only a very specific

00:13:32.660 way and to draw very specific conclusions. So when she says, why do you care so much? What she really

00:13:39.180 means is why has your concern about this issue led you to conclusions that I disapprove of?

00:13:45.820 And so I gave her the answer. And it's important to always emphasize that our first concern

00:13:49.900 is not fairness. It's not sports. It's not privacy. It's not even safety. Those are all concerns and

00:13:55.780 they're important, but our primary motivation is to defend truth for its own sake. If there was a

00:14:02.840 serious campaign to convince everyone that squares are circles, I'd be arguing almost as passionately

00:14:10.140 against it. I'd even go on Dr. Phil to talk about shapes. It's not because I woke up one morning

00:14:17.620 feeling very passionate about geometry. I didn't choose the fight. They're the ones who decided to

00:14:23.060 wage an assault on this basic truth. And so I can choose to either surrender the ground to them

00:14:27.560 or defend it. I don't want to live in a world where people don't know the difference between

00:14:33.100 squares and circles. I also don't want to live in a world where people don't know the difference

00:14:37.800 between men and women. And it really is as simple as that. And as I said, we should keep it simple. 0.98

00:14:45.020 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:52.760 There's no better time than right now to start saving yourself some big money each month.

00:14:57.560 And it really isn't difficult to make it happen. Just refinance your mortgage and do it now before

00:15:01.520 rates get any higher. I've been talking about this a lot lately, but only because it's important for

00:15:06.660 you to know. And also, I just really enjoy talking about it as well. The rates we're seeing can make

00:15:10.840 a significant impact on your budget, making now the time to call American financing. It could mean up

00:15:16.240 to a thousand dollars in monthly savings, and it doesn't cost you anything to learn more. That's right.

00:15:20.260 They'll give you a free mortgage review so you can learn about custom loan options before moving

00:15:24.460 forward. There's no pressure. There's no upfront or hidden fees. You could even skip up to two

00:15:30.320 payments, and you may close in as fast as 10 days. But you got to call 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711.

00:15:39.140 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net. NMLS 182334. NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:15:45.900 All right. Thankfully, we are in studio today. I got a text from Sean last night, our producer,

00:15:52.200 saying the offices might be closed again because there was going to be some ice this morning because

00:15:56.680 it rained a little bit, and we would have some ice on the roads. And we closed down last week for that

00:16:02.580 same reason because there was just some ice. Fortunately, it didn't end up happening. We are

00:16:06.420 here. But I was just thinking, man, why is everyone so petrified of ice? Why would we even consider

00:16:12.860 shutting down? Just drive slower, and everything will be fine. Then I remember, and I have these

00:16:16.740 moments sometimes here, where I remember that I'm working with a bunch of Californians.

00:16:22.640 And these LA people, they come across a frozen puddle, and they call the fire department. They

00:16:27.420 don't know what to do. But then I also thought about the fact that they're from Los Angeles. Back in

00:16:32.320 the old studio, they were going to work every day in the middle of a crime-ridden,

00:16:36.740 walking dead wasteland. They were navigating through like Mad Max every day. They'd have

00:16:44.300 knife-wielding meth addicts chasing them through the parking lot, but a little bit of ice scares

00:16:48.680 them. I don't quite understand. But fortunately, we are here. And now I guess we'll get, it's kind

00:16:54.340 of a sore subject, but Biden, as mentioned, did have his press conference yesterday, timing it

00:17:00.240 exactly. Is it a coincidence? Only a second press conference he gives in a year happens to air at

00:17:09.140 the same time as my Dr. Phil appearance. Coincidence? Probably, but maybe not. So we'll go through a

00:17:17.120 couple of his answers here. He's asked about why he called most of the country Jim Crow racist.

00:17:25.600 And, you know, is he a very angry man who hates most of the citizens of this country? Is that why?

00:17:35.080 His answer doesn't do much to allay that suspicion. Let's listen.

00:17:40.320 You campaigned and you ran on a return to civility. And I know that you dispute the characterization that

00:17:47.440 you called folks who would oppose those voting bills as being Bull Connor or George Wallace.

00:17:54.100 But you said that they would be sort of in the same camp.

00:17:58.260 No, I didn't say that. Look what I said. Go back and read what I said. And tell me if you think I

00:18:06.100 called anyone who voted on the side of the position taken by Bull Connor, that they were Bull Connor.

00:18:15.860 And that is an interesting reading of English. You, I assume you got into,

00:18:19.800 in the journalism because you like to write. So did you expect that that would work with Senators

00:18:25.640 Manchin or Sinema? No, here's the thing. There's certain things that are so consequential.

00:18:31.960 You have to speak from your heart as well as your head. I was speaking out forcefully on what I think

00:18:39.780 to be at stake. That's what it is. And by the way, no one,

00:18:45.620 no one forgets who was on the side of King or Bull Connor.

00:18:53.940 No one not done that. The history books will note it.

00:18:57.400 And when I was making the case, don't think this is a freebie.

00:19:01.060 You don't get to vote this way. And then somehow it goes away.

00:19:04.460 This will be stick with you the rest of your career and long after you're gone.

00:19:10.720 What a disaster.

00:19:13.900 You know, our enemies watch this.

00:19:21.540 And they are, they're licking their chops.

00:19:24.080 You see this man who has clearly lost his mind is a dementia patient.

00:19:28.840 You know, there's the people on the right that complain that we don't get more press conferences.

00:19:31.640 I, I, I hope we don't have another one for the rest of his presidency.

00:19:36.740 I hope this is the last, I wish that he would never address the public ever again.

00:19:41.860 Address us with a, in written word, you know, send a, send a memo, send an email that we'll all get.

00:19:48.780 Because having him up, I don't see how it does anybody any good to have him losing his mind visibly on camera.

00:19:54.300 Um, doesn't do us any good unless the people who are in a position to do it will actually take steps to get rid of this guy.

00:20:08.700 Because he's not mentally competent, but that's, that's not going to happen.

00:20:11.180 Um, so I, I hope there's not another press conference.

00:20:15.320 Two a year is too much.

00:20:19.040 And, uh, and he said, what, what, what, what even is his justification?

00:20:22.240 He says, I guess it's just his rationale here is that, no, no, no.

00:20:27.220 I said that you were on the side of Bull Connor and, uh, and George Wallace.

00:20:31.960 I didn't say that you were those people.

00:20:35.420 That actually is his rationale.

00:20:37.440 Come on.

00:20:37.880 I didn't, I didn't, I didn't accuse everyone of being Bull Connor.

00:20:40.480 I just said they were, but we know that.

00:20:42.800 We know you didn't, you weren't saying that they literally are that person.

00:20:47.200 But you were equating them with that person.

00:20:51.360 If they won't, uh, support a voting rights bill to protect the rights that everybody already has.

00:20:58.420 And speaking of voting, he was also asked about, uh, well, if we don't get this voting rights,

00:21:01.960 bill in place, and then we get to the midterm elections, you know, are you willing, can you

00:21:08.500 sit here and just assure everybody, assure the American people that the elections are still

00:21:12.200 legitimate, especially because we've been told repeatedly over the last year, year and a half,

00:21:17.160 that the worst thing you could ever do is question the legitimacy of our elections.

00:21:21.160 That is an attack on our very democracy, our system of government.

00:21:24.820 It's an attack on our society.

00:21:28.280 And let's see how, uh, Joe Biden fields that question.

00:21:30.900 Speaking of voting rights legislation, if this isn't passed, do you still believe the

00:21:36.900 upcoming election will be fairly conducted and its results will be legitimate?

00:21:42.580 Well, it all depends on, uh, whether or not we're able to make the case to the American

00:21:52.320 people that some of this is being set up to try to alter the outcome of the election.

00:21:57.000 Okay. So in other words, if I don't get my way, then yes, the elections are illegitimate and it's

00:22:03.220 just a, it's just a, a coincidence. So you understand all of this is a coincidence. The fact

00:22:07.980 that they are almost certainly going to going to be annihilated in the midterms, the Democrats are

00:22:13.060 walking into a bloodbath and there's no escaping it now. And they know it. And the fact that that's

00:22:19.140 about to happen. And now is when they're launching this full-on campaign screaming about an attack on

00:22:25.900 voting rights and people are being prevented from voting, all a coincidence, right?

00:22:32.240 No, this is, well, I'll tell you what it's not. This is not, as I've explained many times, this is

00:22:36.360 not a double standard. It sounds like a double standard. When you hear him, the president of

00:22:41.060 the United States standing in front of the American people and openly, um, and in advance questioning

00:22:46.960 the legitimacy and therefore the results of an upcoming election. When you hear him doing that

00:22:52.280 after he and the rest of the Democrats, but the last year condemning Trump for doing something

00:22:57.520 similar, you might say that's a double standard. It's not a double standard. There is one standard

00:23:03.240 here. And the one standard again is it's okay when they do it, whatever, maybe we'll put it this way.

00:23:10.540 Whatever they are doing is okay because it's them and whatever their opponents are doing is bad

00:23:19.600 because they're the opponents. That's the standard. There's a certain, um, coherence to it. Not,

00:23:27.340 not really. There's no moral coherence, but it's at least understandable.

00:23:31.220 And that's, that's all it is. One standard. They can do it, but not you.

00:23:39.280 And that's the case when it comes to questioning elections. That's the case when it comes to,

00:23:43.060 uh, attending a maskless party, they can do it, but not you. All right. I remember yesterday how

00:23:50.900 Don Lemon said that we should not do our own research like idiots. Only an idiot would try to 1.00

00:23:55.880 do their own research and look things up and read. No, just listen to them. We should just trust 1.00

00:24:01.480 them. Well, okay. Then, um, then I guess if we should trust them, then we should probably trust

00:24:05.660 this report from NPR and repeat it on every major news show, corporate media, uh, news show on the

00:24:12.780 left, especially in MSNBC. Here's the report from MSNBC. And we have to trust it because if you're doing

00:24:17.880 your own research, remember, then, then you're an idiot and, uh, and you're, you're, you're lost. 1.00

00:24:22.460 You're a lost case. Listen to them. They would never lie to us. 1.00

00:24:26.700 Tragically anti mask insanity has now reached the highest court in the land. That's based on brand

00:24:32.800 new reporting today from NPR, which reveals new fissures opening up among the justices during one

00:24:39.240 of the most consequential years for the court recent history. The reporting zeros in on a jarring site

00:24:45.800 earlier this month, when the justices took the bench at the height of the Omicron surge, all of them

00:24:51.140 wearing masks, except for justice Neil Gorsuch, justice Sotomayor, who instead participated

00:24:56.800 remotely from chambers. The NPR report explains quote, Sotomayor has diabetes, a condition that

00:25:03.500 puts her at high risk for serious illness or even death from COVID-19. And she did not feel safe in

00:25:09.900 close proximity to people who were unmasked. Chief justice, John Roberts, understanding that in some

00:25:16.360 form, asked the other justices to mask up. They all did except Gorsuch.

00:25:23.280 So Neil Gorsuch refused to mask up, even though he was instructed to, and then Sotomayor wouldn't come

00:25:29.120 and wouldn't be there in person because of it. Now, I heard this report, and my first thought was,

00:25:37.060 you know, if that's true, good for Neil Gorsuch. I didn't have a problem with it.

00:25:44.180 I mean, do you not trust the vaccine? Sotomayor is vaccinated. I assume triple vaccinated,

00:25:51.160 if not quadruple vaccinated at this point. And so all the people giving Gorsuch a hard time,

00:25:57.900 based on this report, sounds to me like they're questioning the efficacy of the vaccine.

00:26:02.060 They all need to be banned from Twitter. You know? Because if you trust the vaccine, then what's

00:26:08.260 the problem? She's protected. Unless you don't think that the protection is good enough.

00:26:15.720 Joy Reid on MSNBC, she was especially upset about this, and she came out pretty hard,

00:26:21.120 and she's just defending Sotomayor from the nasty Neil Gorsuch. Listen to this.

00:26:25.820 Not Gorsuch. He could not be bothered to extend a life-saving courtesy

00:26:29.980 to his co-worker. And it is as serious as life and death because diabetes is a huge risk factor.

00:26:36.420 A report last summer found that 40% of people who died from COVID-19 had diabetes. There's a chance

00:26:42.180 that those numbers might look different with vaccination and Omicron, but the CDC still lists

00:26:47.120 diabetes as a condition where people are more likely to get severely ill.

00:26:50.680 So for having zero, zero problem risking the life of your colleague because you just don't feel like

00:26:56.800 putting a mask on, you, Neil Gorsuch, are both a rotten co-worker, dangerous to be near in a

00:27:02.880 pandemic, and tonight's absolute worst. You're the absolute worst, Neil Gorsuch. Well, one little 1.00

00:27:09.160 problem here. Just one, just a slight kind of, a slight problem, technical detail, is that all of

00:27:14.340 that is nonsense. None of that is true. Now the update from CNBC. It says, Supreme Court Justice

00:27:19.260 Sonia Sotomayor and Neil Gorsuch on Wednesday denied that their relationship had been frayed

00:27:24.380 over a disagreement about wearing masks as a COVID-19 safety measure. The rare joint statement from the

00:27:30.000 two sitting justices came one day after an NPR report said that Gorsuch refused to wear the mask.

00:27:34.320 And here's what their statement says. Reporting that Justice Sotomayor asked Justice Gorsuch to

00:27:40.500 wear a mask surprised us. It is false. While we may sometimes disagree about the law, we are warm

00:27:45.800 colleagues and friends. And then we have another denial. This is from the New York Post. Supreme

00:27:50.400 Court Justice John Roberts issued a statement Wednesday denying a national public radio report

00:27:55.160 about this. And he said, quote, I did not request Justice Gorsuch or any justice to wear a mask on the

00:28:02.760 bench. So you can believe the corporate media or you can believe the actual people involved,

00:28:09.360 all of whom have come out. And this is pretty, pretty rare for Supreme Court justices to respond

00:28:13.980 to media reports and all that kind of stuff. So this is one where they're coming down and coming

00:28:19.100 out and saying totally untrue. So this brings us back to yesterday, to Don Lemon's point about how you

00:28:25.760 shouldn't be doing your own research. Well, if you're interested in knowing what's happening in the

00:28:31.120 world, what else are you supposed to do? Again, admitting all of the hazards that are inherent

00:28:39.320 when you try to just wander into the wilds of the internet to try to learn anything. There are plenty

00:28:47.220 of hazards there. And many different ways you could be led astray. And certainly many different

00:28:52.260 distractions that can take you off task. It's not ideal, right? But there are people, there are

00:29:02.160 institutions in this country that are tasked with delivering the truth and letting us know what's

00:29:06.660 happening, and we cannot trust them. It's as simple as that. All right. So Audi is taking a courageous

00:29:14.280 stand for diversity. So let's, they put this out. First, let's look at the tweet from Audi. Do we have

00:29:21.060 the photo? It says, progress in the workplace, diversity, and inclusion play a key role in any

00:29:26.760 team dynamic. Therefore, Audi has introduced gender-sensitive language. In doing so, we open

00:29:32.480 the door to more diversity of perspective, the ability to change and to learn. Now, I, speaking of

00:29:38.200 researching on the internet, I did, I spent, you know, as much time as I could stomach, so I was about 45

00:29:44.240 seconds trying to figure out what this even means. Audi has introduced gender-sensitive language.

00:29:51.060 In what context? What do you mean you've introduced it? Hey, everybody, I'd like to introduce you to

00:29:56.440 some gender-sensitive language. Here it is. Good for you. Did they just post a list of gender-sensitive

00:30:02.460 words, hoping for a round of applause? Not hard to get a round of applause, like I learned on Dr. Phil.

00:30:08.240 So this is what they posted, and then they followed it up with a commercial. I don't know

00:30:16.480 what we call this, but let's play this, and I guess I'll have to narrate a little bit because

00:30:20.220 it's mostly words, but here is Audi's woke commercial advertising their sensitivity. Here

00:30:28.980 it is. Because we recently introduced gender-sensitive language. Okay? Still not clear

00:30:37.080 what the, what, what this means. Causing strong and sometimes rejecting reactions. And then

00:30:43.780 we get a, now that they're putting up just random Twitter accounts who are saying, this

00:30:47.740 is bad, we don't like political correctness. They say, we respect all opinions, but our position

00:30:51.640 towards diversity and inclusion is clear. And then there's a rainbow flag and an Audi car

00:30:57.440 with a rainbow. At Audi, diversity stands for pluralism. And then just random people.

00:31:03.760 We believe in different ways of thinking. Like a lot of those people, they're all thinking.

00:31:09.060 We're convinced that open and unprejudiced cooperation makes us stronger. What does any of this have

00:31:13.300 to do with cars? And there we go. In our view, gender-inclusive language is what? Is a positive

00:31:23.140 attitude toward diversity and equity. What? All right. And we're not the only ones.

00:31:30.020 All right. Now we're getting tweets from people cheering them on. Look at all these random

00:31:33.960 accounts that said we're good. Well, nice job, Audi. All right. Turn this off. I don't, I don't

00:31:39.900 know. What was that? Uh, gender-inclusive language is a positive attitude towards diversity and inclusion.

00:31:47.520 That, those, that's just a series of leftist buzz phrases and terms thrown out. It's like

00:31:56.440 Scrabble. You just threw them out on the board. Throw them into a blender, blend it together,

00:32:00.700 pour out the smoothie of a, of meaningless lingo. That doesn't even mean anything.

00:32:07.120 Gender-sensitive language is a positive attitude towards diversity and inclusion.

00:32:11.320 I saw someone on Twitter say that they really appreciate it when their luxury vehicles, uh,

00:32:16.920 lecture them. And I think that that kind of sums it up. Isn't this what we all desire?

00:32:23.700 We want to be lectured by Audi. And we also, I think I can speak for, for everybody when I say this,

00:32:29.240 that, um, we look to car manufacturers to, to point us the way forward and to tell us what sort

00:32:38.540 of people we should be. I think we look to them for moral guidance. Do we not? Fantastic. Let's get

00:32:45.400 now to the, uh, comment section. Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:32:55.020 All right. Uh, let's start. Of course, we have our, uh, fancy video comments now, and you can leave,

00:33:01.700 you can submit your own video comment by going to, uh, dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. I think

00:33:07.680 that's the correct one. I want to jump ahead to, let's play clip, uh, 11. Listen to this, Cam.

00:33:14.600 Hi, Matt. My name is Salam, and I'm a Syrian citizen who was granted asylum in the United States.

00:33:20.880 Uh, going back to your point about why the lady should take on her husband's last name,

00:33:27.520 you summed up your argument in one word, tradition. I would say it's more than just tradition. I mean,

00:33:34.200 it's the same way in my country too. Uh, the reason why the man's last name should be the family's

00:33:41.480 last name is that, uh, we need to connect the man to his kids and vice versa. We know, we always know

00:33:49.440 them who the mother is, but we don't always know who the father is, especially in the case of children

00:33:55.180 born out of wedlock. Our connection to our mothers is physical, while our connection to our father

00:34:03.720 is spiritual. Therefore, we need to connect the father to their kids and, uh, SPG for life.

00:34:12.620 Yeah, I think that's a good point. Um, first of all, stop arguing with me. Second, really good point.

00:34:17.780 And I, I think that, I think that's right. I also think this is not mutually exclusive,

00:34:23.160 right? Because I said that, um, that this is one of the reasons why the woman takes the man's name 0.95

00:34:29.940 is because of tradition. And what you're providing is one of the reasons why that tradition is there

00:34:35.060 in the first place. So that's one layer deeper. I don't think these are mutually exclusive things,

00:34:39.080 but I did want to emphasize the tradition because I think it matters. And I don't want to give the

00:34:43.040 impression that there's something embarrassing or flimsy about arguing in favor of

00:34:47.680 something based on the fact that it's a tradition. Um, people are hesitant to do that these days

00:34:53.040 because we have this idea that, ah, it's just a tradition. Who cares about that? Like traditions

00:34:56.640 are inherently, um, dispensable. I know that's not your position, but that's, that is a position

00:35:02.160 that lots of people hold. And so I think there's, there's a value in, in saying, no, this is good

00:35:07.160 in large part because it's tradition. Tradition is, is the democracy of the dead, as Chesterton said.

00:35:12.980 It connects us to our ancestors, just as the name connects the father to his children.

00:35:17.680 Um, it connects us to our past and, and, uh, therefore connects us to ourselves in a certain

00:35:23.240 way. You're listening to the wisdom of the billions who lived before you. Um, and there's

00:35:31.480 nothing wrong with asking, oh, well, this is a tradition. This is what our ancestors did.

00:35:36.120 This is where their wisdom led them. Um, this was their lived experience to use the, another,

00:35:42.960 to use my own buzz word there. It's nothing wrong with asking, well, you know, why, why was that a

00:35:48.240 tradition? Why, what was the reason for it? And then that's where we get to some of the answers

00:35:53.580 just given there, um, in the comment, but going to another Chesterton point, um, that, you know,

00:36:02.060 if you come across a fence as you're walking along and you see a fence there and you don't know why

00:36:09.740 the fence is put there, it would be a very stupid thing to just tear it down because you don't know 0.89

00:36:14.580 why it's there. And it's, it's possible you could come across a fence that should not be there.

00:36:18.960 And then there's a reason to tear it down. But if you don't know why it's there, the last thing you

00:36:23.360 should do is tear it down. There might be a dog on the other side of the fence who's going to eat 0.87

00:36:26.640 your face. And, uh, same thing with traditions. If you don't understand why the tradition is put in

00:36:31.880 place, then you shouldn't be trying to destroy it because you don't even know why it's there.

00:36:37.440 And that's where you should fall back on the fact you don't understand it, but billions before you

00:36:43.000 thought that this was a worthy and worthwhile thing. So you, we, we, you have, uh, your ignorance 0.98

00:36:50.720 versus the wisdom of the ages. Which, which should, which should you, should you, uh, side with 0.85

00:36:58.840 the question. All right, let's take a look at, um, 12 clip 12.

00:37:04.520 Okay. Showing this, this is a good demonstration, doing the right thing. They're putting the

00:37:16.120 shopping cart into the cart corral. Look at that. You know what that is? Well done. Well

00:37:25.740 done. My sweet children. Um, it's, I can see snow on the ground, snow and ice. That was very

00:37:33.220 traumatic that, that clip for like all the people in the control room and to see that from Los

00:37:36.520 Angeles, snow and ice on the ground. Uh, she was traveling across that snow and ice across the

00:37:42.820 vast expanse of the parking lot with determination in her heart to put that cart away. And that is

00:37:49.580 true courage. I applaud it. Uh, let's look at one more. This is a, let's play clip 13.

00:37:56.700 Hello, I'm Grace and my pronouns are sweet baby and sweet baby self. I've been a follower since the

00:38:03.080 alpaca grooming days. Uh, so a very long time. And the first article that I came across of yours was

00:38:09.000 kids go to college or you'll die alone in misery. So whenever you go on about the college topic,

00:38:15.060 it's always a fun blast of nostalgia. So I have a quick question. Many times when I bring up to

00:38:22.280 family or friends that I'm a fan of yours, they claim that you are quote unquote rude. I would never

00:38:29.560 say such a thing, of course, but some people do make this heinous claim and, uh, they say that that

00:38:35.740 is not fitting for a Christian. And I'm curious what you would say to these people. So SBG for life. 0.99

00:38:44.400 Well, you say SBG for life, but are those people still your friends? Is that still family? Do you

00:38:48.860 still see your family that says that about me? Because then, because if so, I'm questioning your

00:38:53.160 SBG credentials, but to answer the question, I have heard that a time or two that I'm a bad Christian

00:38:59.560 attitude and my demeanor. I'll say a few things about that. First of all, this idea that Christians 0.98

00:39:03.240 are all called to be mild and polite and meek is a totally incoherent from a scriptural standpoint.

00:39:09.460 I mean, the Bible is chock full of people who were extremely aggressive and blunt and angry and even

00:39:15.840 rude. Sometimes, um, that's all over the Bible in both testaments, not just the old Testament,

00:39:21.040 but I mean, especially the old Testament, go to the new Testament, read the letters of Paul sometime.

00:39:25.260 Um, you know, he was not, uh, putting up with, with nonsense from anybody. Jesus is not depicted

00:39:32.160 as the sort of Mr. Rogers figure that he's made out to be today. He was quite, um, shall we say

00:39:37.640 discourteous at times, uh, abrupt when dealing with the Pharisees and so on, especially with anyone who

00:39:44.500 was engaging with him in a dishonest or bad faith kind of way. Um, so that's the first thing. Another,

00:39:51.620 another point is that, you know, it takes all kinds, right? So you need people, but you need

00:39:56.980 people like, like me, right? I mean, I'm going to rush in there like a bull in a China shop and you 1.00

00:40:00.660 need people that are willing to do that, who will play that role. You also need people who are more

00:40:04.340 diplomatic and nicer and more polite. I think you need all of that. Um, think of it like a, in terms

00:40:08.800 of an actual army, not everyone is going to do the same job. Not everyone has the same role.

00:40:13.140 Not everybody's getting their boots muddy to the same extent, but you need, you need all of that

00:40:17.180 in terms of personalities and approaches and attitudes and tones and all of that.

00:40:21.480 So this, this debate about what's the, what's the appropriate attitude? What's the appropriate

00:40:25.720 tone? What's the appropriate, uh, personality for a Christian to have to me is completely absurd. 1.00

00:40:30.580 And, and final point, although I just said that it takes all kinds personality wise, there are times

00:40:37.660 in history when certain kinds are needed more than others. And we're at a point right now where we are

00:40:46.020 facing the total moral and intellectual collapse of civilization. That's what we're up against.

00:40:52.640 And it's a very noisy process. Also, there's lots of noise and distraction. You need to shout above

00:40:57.880 the noise to be heard to begin with gentle, meek whispering. Isn't going to cut it. No one's going

00:41:04.080 to hear you or care. Um, there might be a time for that, but it's not really right now. We're teetering

00:41:09.540 on the edge. There is a, there's an urgency that we should feel it's an emergency. So it's a time for

00:41:16.680 a more aggressive and direct approach. And we certainly can't afford to be, to be tone policing

00:41:22.200 at a moment like this. I mean, this is what trips me up the most is that civilization is collapsing.

00:41:29.380 The church in the West is collapsing as well, all around us. And you still have some Christians who 1.00

00:41:37.200 are, you know, pointing at other people and saying, I don't know, he's a little bit rude.

00:41:42.380 You know, it's don't, don't be so rude. That's what you're worried about. That's it. They just

00:41:49.920 criminalized Christianity in Canada. In effect, it's going to happen here next. And you're concerned

00:41:55.640 that I might be too rude. I got, um, all right. A couple of the written comments. Also,

00:42:03.140 this is from Rosemary says it's not almost everyone in the country who knows this trans 0.94

00:42:07.560 stuff is insane. Everyone knows this, including its advocates. They just don't care. The false

00:42:12.540 ideology comes above all else for them. Um, I think it is almost everyone. I do think that

00:42:18.860 there are some people who, because of a delusion or mental illness, like I said on Dr. Phil,

00:42:25.640 um, really are confused. And then there are kids who are indoctrinated into this and the confusion is

00:42:33.180 cultivated in a very intentional sort of way. And, uh, and they don't know, they don't know

00:42:39.080 anything. They're, they're totally confused. But I think, uh, especially when we're dealing with

00:42:43.740 adults, people who have been on this earth for more than, you know, 20 years, um, and who at the

00:42:52.560 very least grew up in a world where everybody knew that men are men and women are women for all of

00:42:59.480 them. Yeah. I think they all know, but the false ideology comes above above all else. As you said,

00:43:05.660 um, class of 79 says, Matt, I agree that Phelps is a coward, but saying he has nothing to lose is 0.73

00:43:12.200 simply not true. His sponsors would drop him like a bad habit. If he strongly opposed a trans swimmer, 0.59

00:43:16.860 he's self-interested like any of these elites who want to protect their bottom line. Um,

00:43:22.960 yeah, I guess I should have said it would cost them in a, in effect, nothing, right? Uh, yeah,

00:43:28.540 he, he would lose some sponsorships and all that, but he's already filthy rich and he's not going to

00:43:32.680 be, we don't have to worry. Phelps doesn't have to worry about ending up a homeless on the street.

00:43:36.900 It's not going to happen to him. And the other thing is, even if he were dropped by his sponsors,

00:43:41.720 there would be a lot of other financial support coming his way. There are plenty of other sponsors

00:43:48.440 out there that would, that would love to support him if he took a stand for sanity and then he was

00:43:53.140 canceled, right? We give him a job here at the daily wire. I don't know doing what exactly, but

00:44:00.280 we would do that. And, um, finally porch side politics says Matt's sweet, calm, condescending

00:44:09.560 attitude is the best sweet, sweet, calm and condescending. All right. Well, there you go.

00:44:15.840 Like I said, it takes all kinds tonight at 8 PM Eastern, 7 PM central Ben Shapiro kicks off his

00:44:21.100 new book club with his first all access discussion. And tonight's book selection is Orwell's famous

00:45:02.340 central at dailywire.com. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:45:09.360 Our cancellation brings us in a circle, much like the logic of my opponents on Dr. Phil.

00:45:14.320 One of those opponents, Addison Rose Vincent, who was the one with the beard, posted a story to

00:45:19.320 Instagram shortly before the episode aired yesterday. Addison is not pleased. The post explains,

00:45:25.520 quote, about a month ago, Ethan and I were invited to be guests on the Dr. Phil show to share our,

00:45:29.920 discuss our stories and discuss pronouns. We were excited for the opportunity to educate in a safe

00:45:35.400 space. So you see here, by the way, that they were not looking for a debate. They were there to educate.

00:45:41.720 And that means that they speak and the rest of us shut up and listen. But that's not exactly how it

00:45:46.880 worked out for them. And now they're traumatized. Back to the post. What ended up happening was much

00:45:52.800 different than we discussed, than they discussed with us. And we left feeling attacked by another guest

00:45:57.640 and played by the producers. Well, the other guest sounds like a jerk. I mean, I can't believe he 1.00

00:46:03.780 would do that. Addison continues, the episode airs today and we're very worried about how the whole

00:46:08.080 thing will be edited. If you want to watch, go for it. But it may be uncomfortable or triggering to do

00:46:12.200 so. Since the taping, Ethan and I have been experiencing a heightened level of anxiety to the

00:46:16.760 point that we've had numerous nightmares and depression spirals over the last month. This week has been

00:46:21.940 the worse. Please send us both good vibes today. We could really use it. We tried our best with no

00:46:28.020 preparation for what the Dr. Phil show actually had planned behind our backs. And we hope our visibility

00:46:33.280 inspires viewers. Well, Addison, it inspired me. And I hope you can take some solace in that.

00:46:42.080 Now, for the record, these people were not tricked or fooled by the producers. We all had exactly the

00:46:47.700 same amount of information going in. We knew it would be a panel with people on both sides of the

00:46:52.160 issue. That's all I knew. That's all anybody knew. As for the editing, the editors did the trans

00:46:58.560 propaganda side a number of favors. I'm not going to claim that it was motivated by bias. Dr. Phil's

00:47:03.900 team was really fair to everybody, I thought. But things get cut for time inevitably. And so we all had

00:47:10.000 big chunks taken out. I know that I did. And the more that they cut from the Addison side of it and that

00:47:15.960 team, the better for them. Because they only sounded more and more deranged as the episode

00:47:20.960 went on. So as bad as they sounded, I can tell you right now, it was much worse in real time.

00:47:29.060 So what are Addison and Ethan, the poor dears, really upset about? They knew they'd be facing

00:47:35.100 off with people who disagree with them. They also talk about these issues every single day for a living.

00:47:40.620 It's their job to go around promoting this stuff. So why did I traumatize them? How?

00:47:48.120 Why am I now haunting their dreams? I mean, this is me we're talking about. I'm a cuddly,

00:47:53.620 nice and lovable guy. The answer is that our culture has so effectively scared the same people

00:48:00.280 into silence that these propagandists have been running essentially unopposed this whole time.

00:48:05.320 They've never run into any pushback. They've never encountered any friction. Nobody has ever

00:48:12.480 called them out on their nonsense, ever, for a lot of them. They've been so ensconced in their bubble,

00:48:18.940 so comfortable in their protective cocoon that it never even occurred to them that anybody would come

00:48:24.340 on national television and actually challenge their position. The possibility was literally unthinkable.

00:48:30.320 They knew there'd be some kind of token opposition, some patsies brought up there to represent some

00:48:36.900 sanitized approximation of the other side, but they expected that conversation to be rigged in their

00:48:42.260 favor because it always is everywhere all the time. Now, they still got a little bit of that. Later in

00:48:48.500 the episode, two parents were invited on to talk about their efforts to keep this pronoun crap out of 0.95

00:48:53.120 their children's schools. And both of these parents are doing important work, and they're brave for

00:48:58.940 taking a stand, and I commend them. But one of them began, I think, with a mistake, by laying an offering

00:49:05.620 at the feet of the trans agenda. Watch this. 0.67

00:49:08.840 First of all, thank you for having me. And I wanted to say, so I honor you and your journey and where you are

00:49:14.780 in life. And it has nothing to do with that. We're here about our kids. And so in school, I feel like this is a

00:49:24.960 family issue. It's a parent-child issue. And it's a real issue with some kids. I think that the percentage

00:49:31.240 is quite small for how many kids go through this real serious issue. And including and imposing this

00:49:40.140 on the entire school or the entire class is where I have a problem.

00:49:45.100 Okay, so that's exactly what Addison and Ethan expected. That's what they want and demand and

00:49:50.120 require. They'll tolerate mild disagreement, if only for appearances' sake. But you better be giving

00:49:57.460 those criticisms on your knees and apologizing in advance for everything you say. I honor you,

00:50:04.080 she said. Well, Addison and Ethan, I do not honor you. I think you're completely wrong about everything

00:50:10.960 you say. What's more, I think you're narcissists and bullies. I think you don't give a damn about 1.00

00:50:17.480 anybody or anything but yourselves. I think you advocate for opening up bathrooms and sports

00:50:23.000 teams because, from your perspective, the rape, trauma, and abuse that happens as a result is worth

00:50:27.620 it. As long as your ideology wins the day. And your self-perceptions are reinforced. Because that's

00:50:34.020 all you care about. I think you represent something that is not only anti-scientific and irrational,

00:50:39.080 but evil. And I think you have evil intentions. I think you're bad people.

00:50:44.280 And I think that you are neither correct nor well-meaning. And if one person in the whole

00:50:50.960 world, in your whole life, saying this to you causes you to spiral into depression and be plagued

00:50:55.920 by nightmares, maybe that should clue you in. It sounds like your conscience is trying to tell

00:51:01.760 you something. You see, people scream at me every day, and they say the most horrible things about

00:51:07.740 myself and my family. I encounter more outright hostility in a day than you have in your whole

00:51:14.180 life. I guarantee you that. I didn't have the audience clapping for me. You do. And yet,

00:51:21.380 I've slept like a baby every night since that taping. That's because I know I'm standing in the

00:51:25.860 truth, not just factually, but morally. You don't have the same self-assurance. Well, then maybe you

00:51:32.440 should look within yourself. That's all you ever do anyway. You're constantly staring back into

00:51:37.400 yourself, shouting into the cavern of your own ego, listening to the echo. Well, while you're in

00:51:43.360 there, maybe try a bit of actual introspection. It might serve you well. In the meantime, and I'm

00:51:52.300 sorry if this gives you even more nightmares, but sadly, you are canceled. And we'll leave it there

00:51:58.040 for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
