The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 878 - The Left Attacks Dr. Phil For Allowing Me To Speak

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left is now going after Dr. Phil for allowing me onto a show in the

00:00:04.600 first place. But if they're confident in their position and if they really believe in their own

00:00:08.240 gender ideology, why should they be so afraid of having the debate in the first place? Also, 0.95

00:00:12.640 the March for Life takes D.C. by storm and the Biden administration has to trot out Tom Hanks

00:00:17.040 to convince the public that his first year in office was not a complete disaster. Plus,

00:00:21.400 an old clip of an MSNBC host saying that your kids don't belong to you goes viral again.

00:00:27.440 What Might We Learn From It? And M&Ms are getting a more progressive and inclusive rebranding for the

00:00:32.340 year 2022 with this final piece in place. Utopia awaits. We'll talk about all that and much more

00:02:21.740 So it's been a couple of days since my episode of Dr. Phil aired, and I've read and heard plenty of

00:02:26.680 reactions to my appearance and to the discussion that we had on the show. And many of these reactions

00:02:31.720 have been quite angry. But the one thing I have not heard from the angry side, from my critics,

00:02:37.500 is any sort of counter-argument. They're all quite sure that I'm wrong, and not just wrong,

00:02:42.760 but hateful and vile and evil and dangerous. And yet none of them, I mean, not a single one,

00:02:48.660 has been able to explain why. They especially are unable or unwilling to answer the question that

00:02:54.380 has provoked much of this outrage, which of course is, what is a woman? Instead, the left, 0.57

00:02:59.120 finding itself unable to answer my arguments, has directed its ire at Dr. Phil for allowing me to make

00:03:05.500 the arguments in the first place. The Daily Wire has cataloged some of these responses.

00:03:10.140 One of them comes from Matt Bernstein, the social media influencer with a significant following,

00:03:14.860 who goes by he, they pronouns, by the way, because sometimes he's a man, other times he's two men,

00:03:20.000 apparently. And he tweeted, quote,

00:03:22.880 So, truly, F Dr. Phil for this. Why would you invite a non-binary person onto national television 1.00

00:03:28.700 just to be humiliated by an outspoken transphobe? Who is this for? Who does this help? Man, F you,

00:03:35.620 Dr. Phil. Another guy who works in media, Hunter Lacey, tweeted, Dr. Phil is always stirring the pot.

00:03:41.280 This is so disrespectful. Why does this man still have a show? Instead of letting the actual queer 1.00

00:03:46.280 voices speak, he's doing mental arithmetic to get through his sentence. I am fuming.

00:03:53.140 Yes, let the queer voices speak, he says, to which the rest of us may wonder when exactly the queer 0.99

00:03:58.040 voices ever stopped speaking. I mean, those are by far the loudest voices in our society.

00:04:02.660 Let the queer voices speak. When do they shut up? I mean, come on. Meanwhile, drag queen Nicolette 1.00

00:04:07.900 New Vogue, who was crowned Miss Gay Omaha some years back, by the way, a profound honor, no doubt,

00:04:13.220 screeched, dear Dr. Phil, please don't ever live tweet during RuPaul's drag race and act like an

00:04:18.880 ally ever again if you're going to have people like Matt Walsh on your show spreading transphobia

00:04:23.240 to the masses. Sincerely, the LGBT community and their real allies. Now, I can't fathom what Dr. 1.00

00:04:30.180 Phil will do with himself now if he's not allowed to live tweet during RuPaul's drag race. I mean,

00:04:36.880 some punishments are simply too much to bear. Imara Jones, founder of a trans media company, said this,

00:04:43.300 Dr. Phil inviting people on who compare trans people to tomato plants continues the idea that

00:04:48.080 we aren't real, which is the basis for the murders and violence against us. Matt Walsh is the pied

00:04:53.740 piper of slick dismissiveness, and this show is not what we need. Catherine Caruso, a writer for

00:05:00.460 Teen Vogue, wrote, you know, Dr. Phil has done a lot of crappy things, but having Matt Walsh on to call 0.72

00:05:04.700 trans people delusional and mentally ill to their faces is a new low, especially since he frames it as a 0.96

00:05:09.880 debate with two valid opposing arguments when it's really just transphobia. Well, Catherine, 0.97

00:05:15.060 would you rather I say it behind their backs? I mean, you're right that I'll say all this to

00:05:19.040 anybody's face. I don't change my opinion or my tone or approach based on the audience.

00:05:24.660 My view is my view, and it'll be the same all the time in front of anybody on any platform in

00:05:29.700 any context. That's called being honest. In any case, you get the idea. This is the basic tenor of the

00:05:35.400 response to my appearance. Others called Dr. Phil a scumbag and a coward for allowing a bigot, 0.99

00:05:39.920 a transphobe, and a white supremacist, by the way, to access his platform. Apparently, 1.00

00:05:44.560 you're a white supremacist now if you criticize leftist gender ideology. Many of the criticisms 0.72

00:05:48.800 were similar to this from some guy named Brant Brick L, who tweeted, and F Dr. Phil for having

00:05:54.020 Matt Walsh on the show and giving him a platform to attack the trans community under the guise of equal

00:05:58.040 debate. There is no debating someone's right to exist. This is a common theme, or rather straw man,

00:06:05.640 claiming that the debate was over the existence of people who identify as trans, and that I was on

00:06:10.580 the side either claiming that trans people do not exist at all, or else they do exist but should not

00:06:16.480 be allowed to. Which, by the way, that's not the point. We all acknowledge, I think everyone

00:06:23.380 acknowledges that people who identify as trans exist. We know that. In fact, that's why we're 0.98

00:06:32.100 having this discussion. The real question is, does biological sex exist? And if so, what are the

00:06:41.280 implications of that? Of course, LGBT media got in on the action, outrage action as well. The website

00:06:48.240 Queerty has this headline, Dr. Phil's show yesterday was a transphobic train wreck, and we'd only

00:06:53.320 know where to begin. The article explains that Dr. Phil was now on the hot seat for bringing me on

00:06:58.720 his show because, quote, to anyone who knows him, it should come as no surprise that Walsh came ready

00:07:02.860 to spew transphobic vitriol. He has a long history of transphobia, having authored the children's book

00:07:09.120 Johnny the Walrus, which compares being transgender to pretending to be a walrus. He also has a history

00:07:14.520 of homophobia, having called Pride Month a celebration of vanity, well it is, and denounced adoption by

00:07:20.240 same-sex couples. He's also defended the vigilante actions of Kyle Rittenhouse. He opposes abortion,

00:07:25.580 imagine that, and claims that doing yoga is anti-Christian. I mean, it is, among other things.

00:07:31.840 I appreciate Queerty, by the way, cataloging all of my right opinions like that, especially

00:07:35.920 mentioning my number one LGBT book, Johnny the Walrus, which is available at johnnythewalrus.com

00:07:41.180 right now and go pick up a copy. LGBTQ Nation was similarly incensed. Their headline, Dr. Phil

00:07:46.220 invited anti-transgender activists to spread hate on TV, and it's painful to watch. Not painful for me,

00:07:53.060 I quite enjoy it. The article claims that my job, my job, quote, depends on generating media attention

00:07:58.640 for my anti-LGBTQ antics. And that is true, I admit. I actually have a little, you know, behind the 1.00

00:08:06.100 scenes, behind the curtain thing here. I have a certain number of anti-LGBTQ antics that I have to

00:08:12.080 engage in each week contractually. It's written in the contract. And then on Fridays, I have a

00:08:16.940 meeting with the bosses where they review my anti-LGBTQ antics catalog to see if I met my quota.

00:08:23.400 Now, fortunately, if I fall short, some weeks I do, I can make up for that by oppressing some other

00:08:29.760 marginalized group. And this is how it works in conservative media. The left's suspicions are

00:08:34.480 totally accurate. But what about the rest of this? What about this idea that the other side was

00:08:41.240 trapped, humiliated by the simple fact that I was allowed to sit on a stage with them and speak to

00:08:47.420 them? Well, we see here again, the incredible fragility of the leftist position, especially on

00:08:53.460 the issue of sex and gender. They like to accuse others of being fragile, fragile masculinity, they call

00:08:59.100 it. But what's more fragile than having to insulate yourself from any direct challenge to

00:09:05.280 your worldview? If these people were confident in their position, they'd be bragging that I was the

00:09:11.700 one who was humiliated, right? They'd be patting my good friend Addison on the back and giving the

00:09:17.160 woke professor a high five and congratulating them for defeating the transphobe in open rhetorical

00:09:22.860 combat. But you notice, interestingly, how even the people on their side are not attempting to claim

00:09:30.200 that their side was victorious. Nobody's saying that, not even them. Instead, they retreat into

00:09:37.400 their victimhood fortress, flinging insults from behind the walls. You know, whenever there's an NFL

00:09:43.500 game, you know, I can always tell who lost even without watching the game or checking the score

00:09:47.340 because the losing team is the one whose fans are on social media complaining about the refs. 0.83

00:09:54.480 And something similar is happening here, except in this case, the losing side is complaining,

00:09:58.400 not just about the refs, but that the game was allowed to happen in the first place.

00:10:04.040 So imagine if the Lions, you know, lost to the Vikings and then Lions fans responded by saying it

00:10:08.760 was unfair and traumatic to put the Lions on the same field as the Vikings to begin with.

00:10:13.480 That is how unfathomably weak and empty and irrational the left's position is on everything,

00:10:21.640 really, but especially on this. Their side collapses like a Jenga tower when it's directly

00:10:26.800 challenged. And yet it has won the culture anyway because it's so rarely challenged.

00:10:34.740 They use emotional blackmail, intimidation, and coercion so effectively that they've managed to

00:10:40.940 conquer civilization with an army that turns to dust the moment you turn around and face it.

00:10:47.380 Their gamble is that you never will. You'll just continue running away in retreat,

00:10:53.680 afraid of the loud noises they're making, but never calling their bluff.

00:10:59.060 Well, I think it's time to stop running. Let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:10.940 Before we get to the headlines, I got to mention, because this is way more important. My wife put me

00:11:15.360 on blast last night, as the kids say, or did say at one point. She was tweeting attacking me. This is

00:11:23.280 like while we were in bed. I thought she was asleep, but she's over there persecuting me on the internet.

00:11:31.380 This is what she tweeted. She says, Matt keeps our bedroom so cold at night. It's like the tundra.

00:11:35.520 I may have to wear an overcoat to bed. Isn't this the age old debate between husbands and wives?

00:11:39.600 Now, this is how pervasive cancel culture has become, that it's even made its way

00:11:43.900 into my marital bed. But this started a whole conversation about the correct temperature for

00:11:49.920 the bedroom and the house and who should control it. By the way, the right answer, there is a right

00:11:54.340 answer. The right answer is that bedroom should never be above 62 degrees. The rest of the house

00:11:58.220 should never go above 65. Really, it's best to have both below 60, ideally. That's especially true 1.00

00:12:04.440 at night when you're sleeping. So I set the house very cold. I also have an overhead fan

00:12:08.440 and a box fan blowing directly on me because the best way to sleep is to just be on the verge of

00:12:13.900 hypothermia the entire time I've found. But here's the thing. This is an important discussion that

00:12:18.760 especially you women in the audience could benefit from hearing because I know women often complain 1.00

00:12:23.320 about being cold. And so there's this controversy about who should get to determine the temperature.

00:12:28.840 So here it is. Two things. First of all, I get to control the temperature because I'm the warmest

00:12:38.360 and the warmest one should decide, not the hottest. Not like the hottest in terms of appearance because

00:12:45.860 then I would, by that litmus test, I would never win. But the warmest, like physically. Because there's only

00:12:52.600 so many, if you want to, if you're warm and you want to regulate your temperature, there's only so

00:12:57.060 much you can do without adjusting the environment. There's only so many layers you can take off.

00:13:03.380 This is especially true in public, like at work or at the dentist in the waiting room or something.

00:13:09.800 If you're cold at work, you can wear as many sweaters and jackets as you want. You can put on

00:13:14.380 earmuffs and mittens if you want. That's not an HR violation. I can only take off so much before

00:13:20.160 someone calls the police. So that's why I should get to decide what the temperature is. But there's

00:13:23.940 also a second point. And this is the more important point. And it's going to be tough to hear this.

00:13:30.240 But I'm the man. And so as the man, as men, we have the special right and responsibility to be in

00:13:39.900 control of the temperature in any building that we're in. Why? Well, because, and don't take this the

00:13:44.920 wrong way. But women, you're too fickle to be in control of the thermostat. Same goes for the volume 1.00

00:13:50.820 on TV because you can't make up your mind. I'll be watching TV with my wife. And suddenly after 47

00:13:57.160 minutes, she'll shout, it's too loud. Turn it down. Getting mad at me for a volume that was acceptable 0.90

00:14:03.920 to both of us for the better part of an hour. And now all of a sudden it's a problem. And then I'll turn

00:14:09.560 it down. And what happens five minutes later? She says, I can't hear it. Can you turn it up?

00:14:14.820 Similar thing happens with a thermostat. So if she controlled it, it would be adjusted every 15 0.80

00:14:19.740 minutes until our HVAC system exploded. With me as the man, there is consistency. You know that the

00:14:26.620 house is always going to be cold enough to cause frostbite. You know the TV is always going to be

00:14:30.960 loud enough to rupture your eardrums. It may not be pleasant. It may not be comfortable. It may not be

00:14:36.100 reasonable. It may not be safe, but it's consistent. It's steady. It's reliable. Okay.

00:14:44.240 And furthermore, Ephesians 5, wives submit to your husband as to the Lord. I've used that on my wife 0.88

00:14:52.160 too with the thermostat conversation. Doesn't always go well. All right. We'll start with this. March for

00:14:57.440 life. March for life is currently underway. Started at about noon in DC. And a couple of

00:15:05.700 things that you always know with the March for life. And the first is that you're not going to

00:15:09.540 hear much about it from, from corporate media, because there's just no way for them. They have

00:15:16.520 no choice, but to acknowledge it because it's, it's right in their backyard. It's right outside

00:15:21.640 their window. There are hundreds of thousands of people marching and it's been this way for over

00:15:25.220 40 years, every single year consistently. And so they have no choice, but to at least acknowledge

00:15:29.520 it, but they're going to acknowledge it as quickly as they can. Now, as we know, of course you put,

00:15:35.700 500,000 or a million pro-lifers at the March for life marching, and they're going to get a five

00:15:41.620 second mention, you know, um, but you take a fraction of that crowd say like 50 and they're

00:15:48.880 marching for BLM or whatever, some leftist thing. And, and, uh, that's suddenly front page headline

00:15:56.440 news. So we know that's how it goes. Um, the attendance will always be underestimated. In fact,

00:16:02.560 I was just reading an article. I can't remember which, which, uh, which, uh, outlet it was, but

00:16:06.420 saying that, uh, you know, organizers estimate that, uh, typically there's around 50,000 people

00:16:12.520 attending the March for life. Yeah. I don't know, uh, 50,000, you know, multiply that by 10, perhaps

00:16:19.400 hundreds of thousands of people come to the March for life every single year. And what makes that so

00:16:25.460 impressive is number one, that it's every single year. This is by far the largest, um, annual

00:16:33.780 political rally in American history. There's never been anything like it. Now there have been other

00:16:38.940 marches where you have one particular March that draws a greater crowd than the March for life does

00:16:44.800 on average, but no one has been able to sustain that for anywhere near as long as the March for life

00:16:51.460 has again, into, into the fourth, well into the fourth decade. So the attendance is always going

00:16:57.500 to be, um, always going to be under underestimated and they're not going to show you, uh, or they're

00:17:05.220 going to be very sparing in showing you images from the crowd, you know, and they're going to try

00:17:12.940 to, the other thing they'll do is they'll report it as, and I guarantee you're going to see headlines

00:17:16.180 like this, uh, something like people on, uh, protesters on both sides of the abortion debate

00:17:22.840 show up in Washington, DC. Yeah. Protesters on both sides because there's, there's 500,000

00:17:28.880 pro-lifers and, um, you know, three pro-abortion people. And then that, that, that equates to

00:17:36.700 protesters on both sides, but they're not going to show you the crowd where they're going to be very

00:17:42.440 sparing and what they are very selective in what they show because what they don't want you to

00:17:46.900 notice is that the March for life is very, very young. It's a very young crowd. Now I would, having

00:17:55.760 been to the March for life many times, I would estimate that certainly the vast majority are

00:17:59.860 certainly under 40 and many are under 30, even under 20. So this is a very young crowd. The pro-life

00:18:05.720 movement is a young movement. And also though, I hesitate to point this out because it sounds like

00:18:12.400 I'm trying to appeal to the left on their own terms, which, uh, which I'm very against doing,

00:18:16.560 but I will mention, I will say that in fact, it's a very diverse crowd as well.

00:18:23.080 Actually diverse because it simply is, you go to the March for life, really any, any pro-life event,

00:18:28.120 but especially the March for life. Cause you've got people from all over the country going

00:18:30.660 and, um, all different kinds of people from different walks of life are, are there because

00:18:37.800 as it turns out, you know, you don't need to be an old white conservative. Not that there's anything 0.69

00:18:44.360 wrong with being an old white conservative, but you don't have to be that to believe that it's not 0.99

00:18:49.560 okay to kill babies. This is a position that is appealing to, um, people of all, of all stripes. 0.91

00:19:00.660 And it's, this is another example of the kind of debate that the left doesn't want to have.

00:19:08.720 I mean, how often have you even seen, you can certainly turn on cable news and you're going

00:19:14.900 to hear pro-abortion talking points and you're going to hear abortion discussed, but how often

00:19:19.880 on a mainstream platform have you seen that debate really happen where the pro-abortion side is

00:19:26.560 actually challenged. Very similar to the gender issue. It doesn't happen because they know they 0.76

00:19:33.500 can't really defend it. They know it's an, it's an indefensible position. It's an, it's indefensible

00:19:38.700 scientifically. The idea that these, uh, that these unborn babies aren't human or they don't count as

00:19:44.980 people scientifically makes no sense. I mean, logically we've always known that the babies in the womb

00:19:53.020 are P our people and our human beings and our living. But as technology progresses and we're

00:19:59.060 able to see more and more what's actually happening in the womb during present pregnancy,

00:20:02.400 um, it only serves to each day further vindicate and while invalidating further, further vindicate

00:20:09.440 the pro-life side while invalidating the pro-abortion side. So they can't engage with it scientifically

00:20:13.460 and they can't really engage with it, with it morally either. Because when it comes down to it,

00:20:17.660 ultimately you are arguing for killing innocent people. You have one side which says it's never

00:20:22.780 okay to kill an innocent and defenseless person. That's why we're against abortion. And the other side 0.81

00:20:28.340 who says, you know, sometimes it is okay. But only if that innocent and defenseless person is a baby.

00:20:37.040 So, um, that's the March for Life. We'll go here. Joe Biden has really gotten himself into another

00:20:42.120 bind, another pickle by, by openly claiming that our elections are rigged and illegitimate after a

00:20:47.660 year of condemning Trump for saying exactly the same thing. So it's been a bit of a PR nightmare.

00:20:52.100 And, uh, that's why the White House has trotted out their secret weapon to mop up the mess. They're,

00:20:59.420 they're smooth talking damage control expert, Kamala Harris. So let's see how she handles 1.00

00:21:05.800 questioning on this issue. Let's talk about another comment the president made. He openly

00:21:12.300 cast doubt on whether the 2022 midterm elections would be legitimate. He said, it all depends,

00:21:19.080 which is astonishing to hear a president question whether our elections will be legitimate. We've

00:21:26.420 heard it before, but not from this president. Is he really concerned that, that we may not have

00:21:31.440 fair and free elections? The president has been consistent on this issue and the issue at hand,

00:21:40.560 the issue I was there last night, uh, in the chamber of the Senate. And the issue is that there are two

00:21:47.040 bills, the John Lewis voting rights act and the freedom to vote act that have been the, the solution

00:21:54.320 that has been offered to address the fact that around our country, states have put in place laws

00:21:59.740 that are purposely making it more difficult for the American people to vote. Okay. So no, no answer

00:22:05.880 there. Um, are the elections actually going to be free and fair and legitimate or not? And, um,

00:22:14.540 we heard the word astonishing there. The only thing astonishing going on here, because it's not really

00:22:18.360 astonished, it's not, it's not actually astonishing to have Joe Biden questioning the legitimacy of the 0.97

00:22:23.760 elections because we know that he is a soulless, mindless, um, goon. So that's not astonishing. 1.00

00:22:32.260 The astonishing thing is that the media, or it's might seem astonishing at first until we understand

00:22:37.160 what's really happening here, but the media is actually taking them to task for this.

00:22:42.540 Same thing happened when you watch the press conference. However, much of that you could

00:22:47.140 stomach watching the media, they were actually asking some real questions, a few anyway.

00:22:55.700 And so let's watch a little bit more of this as the, um, anchor continues to actually press her 0.98

00:22:59.880 on, on this question. Listen, does he think now that these bills haven't been passed, that the 22

00:23:05.920 midterms won't be legitimate or fair or free? Let's not conflate issues. So what we are looking

00:23:15.240 at and, and the topic of so much debate last night was that we as America cannot afford to allow this

00:23:25.020 blatant erosion of our democracy. And in particular, the right of all Americans who are eligible to vote,

00:23:32.200 to have access to the ballot unfettered. That is the topic of the conversation. And let's not be

00:23:38.700 distracted by the political gamesmanship when what is truly at stake are, are, are, are issues like

00:23:45.760 whether Americans with disability have the opportunity to vote by mail.

00:23:51.800 Hmm. Um, yeah, again, only astonishing thing is that the media is challenging,

00:23:58.940 actually challenging her on this. And why are they doing that? Well, I think the answer is

00:24:04.280 that, uh, they, they want the Biden administration gone. They want Biden gone. Um, they want him

00:24:10.820 primaried. They, they know he's going to lose if he actually, if he actually runs again in, uh, in 2024,

00:24:17.500 which if, if he's physically still on earth, he will because he's power obsessed and power hungry.

00:24:23.980 Look at all these people. And this is all he cares about. That's the whole reason that he ran for

00:24:27.280 office at the age of 78 anyway. Um, but they want, they want them gone. They want, they want the,

00:24:32.480 this administration gone. They want someone else put in there. And so they, they are actually

00:24:36.340 for totally self-serving reasons. That's what we have to understand. It's not because they care

00:24:41.140 about integrity. It's not because they care about ethics or they have any real passion for doing real

00:24:46.600 journalism just for, for their own reasons, self-interest and their own ideological reasons.

00:24:54.760 They want Biden gone. So I think we're going to see probably more scenes like this. Um, moving on,

00:24:59.880 you know, you know, Democrat politicians are sometimes accused of being out of touch, elitist,

00:25:04.020 narcissistic. That's, that's not really fair. I mean, listen to this truly humble moment from

00:25:10.040 Nancy Pelosi yesterday. Listen to this. Here's the thing I say to my members on a regular basis

00:25:17.560 when we gather in caucus and as you know, sometimes it's hybrid these days, but anytime we have gathered

00:25:25.820 in caucus when we're actually virtually or hybrid, I've said to them under this roof, figuratively or

00:25:33.760 actually is the greatest collection of intellect, integrity, and imagination for doing the right

00:25:44.320 thing for the American people. I have great confidence in the integrity of my members.

00:25:51.860 They are remarkable. So when people talk about, well, somebody might do this and somebody,

00:25:58.920 I, I, I think I, I trust our members. If in fact, we should have severe penalties for delay and

00:26:06.800 reporting on stock, then do that. I've said to the, the house administration committee, review all the

00:26:12.800 bills that are coming in and see which ones where, where the support is in our caucus.

00:26:19.640 We heard more of that than we needed to. Uh, the greatest collection of integrity and intelligence

00:26:25.860 in the world is in among the Democrats in Congress. If that's true, then we're, we are absolutely doomed.

00:26:35.400 And in fact, we are doomed, but that's still not true. You could find a greater collection of

00:26:39.840 intelligence and integrity, just going to the, you know, going to the DMV or waiting in line at

00:26:44.520 Walmart. Um, the, the, the bars is very, very low there, but this is actually how this is a rare

00:26:50.380 moment. She claims they have integrity and they don't, but there are moments of honesty, at least

00:26:55.400 if unintentional, this is a real rare moment of honesty where she shows how they see themselves

00:27:01.820 and how they see everybody else. They really believe that they are better than the rest of us.

00:27:05.880 That comes as no surprise. It's just pretty rare that you hear a politician actually come out and

00:27:11.580 say, we're better than all of you. Amazing. Finally, Joe Biden has, um, a plan to convince everyone.

00:27:21.340 It seems like he had the worst first year of any president in American history, which is not

00:27:26.480 hyperbole, but merely an observation. Everything is demonstrably worse by every category, by every

00:27:32.440 measure. Everything is worse now. And, um, specifically because of what this administration

00:27:38.580 has done. Um, but how are they going to convince people that it's not, that the truth is not what

00:27:45.560 they see staring them in the face? Well, what do you do? You bring in Tom Hanks to narrate. You have,

00:27:50.180 you have a little video, Tom Hanks narration, some inspirational music. We'll play some of this.

00:27:53.900 Keep the mic open. Cause I don't know how long, how much of this I can actually stomach.

00:27:56.460 We'll have to cut it off, but let's watch some of Tom Hanks convincing us that actually this past

00:28:02.280 year of your life was amazing. For there was always light. If only we're brave enough to see it.

00:28:10.500 If only we're brave enough to be it.

00:28:14.340 If only we're brave enough, brave enough to live through two of the most difficult years many of

00:28:22.480 us can remember. Brave enough to pull ourselves up again and again. America is the home of the

00:28:29.640 brave. It's why we keep getting up no matter how many times we get knocked down. Like with our economy,

00:28:35.940 it isn't all the way back, but it's getting stronger. We may be entering year three of a pandemic none of us

00:28:42.000 wanted or expected, but we're moving. I was the first person to get the vaccine

00:28:47.300 in the whole country. And now how many people are vaccinated over 200 million, right? That's what

00:28:54.880 keeps me going that I can feel the change. Restaurants have opened their doors and shops

00:29:00.580 and businesses are buzzing again. This is bravery. Showing the bravery of Americans by people wearing

00:29:05.460 masks outside. Okay. Shut up, Tom. Um, even Tom Hanks can't do it. Maybe they should try Morgan

00:29:11.940 Freeman. You got to bring in the big guns now. Uh, I mean, you know, oftentimes all it takes is a Tom

00:29:17.520 Hanks narration or Morgan Freeman narration and some inspirational music in the background

00:29:20.600 to convince, convince anybody of anything, but, um, that's, that's not good. Now, of course he's,

00:29:25.240 he's talking about the qualities of the American people. And, uh, even if what he said was true,

00:29:31.420 that wouldn't speak at all to this administration, but unfortunately, I mean, there are plenty of

00:29:38.680 brave people in America, but, um, collectively, you know, it's, it's, it's hard to look at the last

00:29:47.680 two years and give us all as a group credit for bravery and courage. And ironically, that video kind

00:29:55.740 of demonstrated why talking about the bravery and courage of Americans, and then showing a bunch of 0.88

00:30:01.340 cowardly, paranoid hypochondriacs wearing masks outside along with children who are being forced 0.97

00:30:08.240 to wear them because of the paranoid, cowardly hypochondriacs in their lives. So I'm still not 0.99

00:30:14.540 convinced somehow. All right, let's play another clip. Now this clip went viral yesterday, though.

00:30:18.120 It's, uh, it's actually from way back in 2013. It's Melissa Harris Perry. If you remember her,

00:30:22.520 I don't, but maybe you do. She was on MSNBC, uh, back a few years ago. And back then she said this

00:30:31.040 now what's well, we'll play it first and then we'll talk about it again. This is, this is several

00:30:36.020 years old, but I think, I think the fact that it's old, there's an important point, um, to be made

00:30:41.420 about that, but let's play it first. We have never invested as much in public education as we should

00:30:47.440 have because we've always had kind of a private notion of children. Your kid is yours and totally

00:30:52.420 your responsibility. We haven't had a very collective notion of these are our children.

00:30:57.440 So part of it is we have to break through our kind of private idea that kids belong to their

00:31:01.300 parents or kids belong to their families and recognize that kids belong to whole communities.

00:31:05.400 Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the households, then we start making better

00:31:10.060 investments. Your kid, we have to break down this, this private idea of children. Kids belong to the

00:31:18.240 entire community. And as always, just like when they, the public and public school doesn't really

00:31:23.400 mean public. It means specifically the state. Uh, this is government school. And so when she says

00:31:28.880 community, she doesn't mean community. She means the government. That's, that's a, those words are

00:31:32.980 synonyms as far as she's concerned. The amazing thing though, is, um, this is in 2013 and it, this was not

00:31:39.400 like something she said off the cuff on, on one of her shows. It's not something that she was caught

00:31:45.840 saying, you know, it wasn't like a hot mic moment. This was a, a promo. They, they, they put this as a,

00:31:53.220 as a promo and they ran it as a commercial for the network. They were so proud of it saying your kids

00:32:01.800 don't belong to you. So what we can take away from this is that they, the left has been working to

00:32:08.580 take away parental rights for a long time. And they've been very open about it. The only difference

00:32:15.740 is that recently much of the right has finally noticed. Now there are some of us who have been

00:32:23.840 screaming about this for years, you know, uh, since that Melissa Harris Perry video and before,

00:32:29.520 especially people who homeschool, the homeschool community, um, is, is quite aware of,

00:32:36.360 you know, the government's and the left's attitude towards people who take charge of their own

00:32:42.520 kids education. But this, all this shows is that, um, this recent emphasis on parental rights,

00:32:50.100 all that is, that is a product of conservatives finally waking from their stupor on this issue.

00:32:57.660 It is not a product. It is not that the left in the last year has been suddenly more aggressive

00:33:03.300 in going after parental rights. If anything, they've been a little bit more subtle about it

00:33:08.740 with some exceptions, you know, Terry McAuliffe saying parents shouldn't decide what their kids

00:33:14.720 are taught. That that's, that's another good example because he said that off the cuff

00:33:18.500 and you could tell he immediately regretted saying it out loud after he said it go back about 10 years

00:33:24.700 ago. And they were saying this stuff's scripted openly in commercials. So this has been happening

00:33:31.940 for a very, very long time. And for the record, of course, no, uh, my kids do not belong to the

00:33:37.240 community. They belong to me. Um, not as property, not like in the way that you'd say your car belongs

00:33:45.460 to you, but in the sense that it is my sacred and solemn responsibility to care for them.

00:33:53.080 And also I care about my children more than anybody else. My wife and I care about our

00:34:00.080 children more than anybody else does. What is one of the reasons? There are a lot of reasons why

00:34:04.920 I will not, um, surrender my kids to the community or rely on the community to care for them.

00:34:11.180 A lot of reasons. Uh, one is I don't trust the quote community, which again means government

00:34:18.840 to take care of my kids. I don't believe in the, in their values. Um, I'm not going to entrust my

00:34:28.440 children to be morally formed by the quote community. But then also it's because I recognize

00:34:36.380 that the community referring both to the government and the actual community doesn't care about my

00:34:44.480 kids the way that I do. You can say all you want. Oh, we all, they're all our kids. No, but you,

00:34:52.320 you actually don't care about my kids that much because they're not yours. I mean, you might care

00:34:57.240 about my kids in theory, in the sense that you care about all kids and you want everyone to have a

00:35:03.120 happy and nice life. But I wake up every day and my kids are the first thing that I think about.

00:35:14.600 Right. This is a, this is a constant presence in my life, constantly at the front of my mind.

00:35:19.960 As parents, as a parent, I live every day taking care of my kids. I've structured my life around

00:35:25.320 that, around my kids specifically, not around kids as a general concept, but my kids. So I know

00:35:31.720 them and care about them more than anybody else. So that's another really good reason why I'm not

00:35:40.640 going to surrender them to the community. It's also, it's also a really good reason to take care

00:35:46.580 of your kids' education. If you can do it and start homeschooling, because you know your kid

00:35:52.560 better than anybody and you care about them. You send them to school and, um, you know, there,

00:35:58.260 there are plenty of really good teachers. There's a lot of bad ones, but there are plenty of really

00:36:01.380 good ones, but even the really good ones, your kid is their job. And if they're good,

00:36:08.220 then they do care about making sure your kid has a, has a good education, but they can only afford

00:36:11.460 to care so much. And in most public schools, they've got, you know, 30 other kids in class

00:36:16.560 and that's just one class. So your kid is one in this assembly line that they care about as much as

00:36:22.340 they can. It's just not much. And they certainly don't know your kid like you do. All right. One

00:36:30.120 other clip I wanted to play. This is a, this is account, uh, the account woke preacher clips on

00:36:34.440 Twitter, kind of like the libs of Tik TOK, but for Christians, uh, dug up this clip of Simon Woodman.

00:36:40.140 He's, um, of London's Bloomsbury central Baptist church at some kind of panel discussion, talking

00:36:45.900 about Jesus and, uh, informing us that apparently Jesus, maybe you didn't know this, was transgender.

00:36:53.060 I think Jesus, um, transgenders himself on a number of occasions. Um, I think, you know, just, 0.90

00:36:59.480 just a little phrase that Jesus is lamenting over Jerusalem, longing to gather Jerusalem as a mother

00:37:04.940 hen gathers her chicks. Um, I think if you look at, um, the foot washing from John's gospel, 0.94

00:37:10.960 foot washing elsewhere in both old and new Testament that it's consistently done by, by

00:37:16.540 women. And yet Jesus takes that on. People often cast that as being the servant's role. It was the

00:37:21.700 woman's role. Uh, and Jesus does it and becomes the woman at that point. So transgender is a verb now 0.99

00:37:29.080 too. Jesus transgendered himself. I play that clip because it perfectly captures how transgender ideology 0.99

00:37:36.540 reinforces gender norms while pretending to deconstruct them. So Jesus becomes the woman by 0.92

00:37:46.560 taking on the quote woman's role. But why not just say that Jesus proves that the role is not just a

00:37:54.380 woman's role, which it isn't. Why is it that Jesus's sex changes because of the role rather than saying

00:38:05.340 the role changes because of his sex. You see what I'm saying? What, why it's like when a, when a boy

00:38:13.860 plays with, um, the example I use in Dr. Ville boy plays with a dollhouse, you know, and for, for decades

00:38:20.940 back when the left really did seem to be, and, and, you know, the feminists were more in control of 1.00

00:38:26.580 gender ideology back then. And so there was this emphasis on breaking down gender roles and everything.

00:38:30.720 And so they would have said back then that a boy plays with a dollhouse. And, uh, all that does is

00:38:35.460 prove that boys can play with dollhouses and it's not just a girl thing. Okay. So they, the, um, this

00:38:40.820 idea that dollhouses are just for girls is an artificial social construct. And so this boy is

00:38:45.520 helping to break it down by playing with a dollhouse. Well, now they say that when the boy plays with a

00:38:49.960 dollhouse, it's an indication that he's actually a girl. So you are reinforcing that stereotype.

00:38:55.720 And by him engaging in that activity, you know, play, playing that role, it actually changes him

00:39:03.820 rather than him changing the role or the nature of the role, the role changes the nature of him.

00:39:11.100 And so things have been flipped around exactly backwards, upside down.

00:39:16.300 Perfect example of it there. Let's get out of the comment section.

00:39:19.720 Who makes Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage? 0.94

00:39:25.720 All right. Uh, dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. If you want to leave a video comments

00:39:39.000 and, uh, I have not seen these yet, but we're just going to, um, I entrusted McKenna to compile

00:39:45.640 the video comments. So blame her if these are not the good ones. Let's, uh, let's watch.

00:39:50.180 Hello to the handsome and brilliant sweet daddy Walsh. My name is Rachel and I'm from Brighton,

00:39:55.380 Michigan. I just wanted to share a proud parenting moment with you that I had this week. My nine-year-old

00:40:01.320 daughter Lacey came home the other day from school and said that a boy in her class was wearing a t-shirt

00:40:06.080 with a panda on it. Lacey made the appropriate comment, pandas shouldn't exist. This really threw

00:40:12.120 her fourth grade classmates for a loop. And they all started asking her what she had against pandas.

00:40:16.920 And, you know, they were so cute and why didn't she like them? Fortunately, being a junior member

00:40:22.400 of the sweet baby gang, she was under no obligation to respond. Just wanted you to know that I am doing

00:40:27.760 my part to indoctrinate the next generation. Keep up the great work. SBG for life.

00:40:33.020 That almost brought a tear to my eye. That's amazing. And the fact that not just that we're

00:40:40.300 getting the sweet baby gang out there, but that we're spreading the word on these really important

00:40:43.600 issues, like the utter uselessness of pandas, that I think is incredible. The only thing is I would sit

00:40:50.120 down with your daughter and, you know, she has the lines. So she's been indoctrinated into the anti-panda 0.98

00:40:57.180 community. But I think the next step is to be able to go out there and evangelize to this position

00:41:06.480 and explain why the pandas are useless. So maybe that's a conversation you could sit down and have

00:41:11.540 with her. But that's wonderful. Let's check out another one. Hello, Mr. Matt Walsh. My name is Ari

00:41:17.880 Ginsberg. I use all pronouns, every single one of them. I must know I have had sleepless nights over this.

00:41:23.900 What is your workout routine? Please tell me. Thank you very much. And sweet baby gang for life.

00:41:31.820 My workout routine? Well, over the last, I'd say six months, my workout routine is, you know,

00:41:38.700 walking up and down steps when I'm putting my kids to bed. That's pretty much what it's what it has

00:41:43.100 been. That's been the entire thing. I don't know why. I do got to get back to the gym and back to

00:41:51.820 working out. But it's as much of a mystery to me as maybe as to you that I'm not 100 pounds heavier.

00:41:59.940 I don't know why I'm not extremely fat. It's not because of any effort on my part. My diet is

00:42:05.840 terrible. I just eat whatever I want. And somehow, and people keep telling me that, you know,

00:42:13.420 eventually your metabolism slows down. So one day I'm just going to balloon. I'm going to come in here

00:42:17.100 one day and be like 350 pounds. It's just going to happen overnight, but it hasn't happened yet. So

00:42:21.580 that's it. Let's watch one more. My sweet, sweet, sweet daddy. I come before you in solidarity in my

00:42:29.280 cold truck, my polka dotted polo. My name is Weston and my pronouns are life, liberty, and the pursuit of

00:42:37.580 proper voting restrictions. My question comes to you around the Catholic faith. I am not Catholic,

00:42:45.080 but I do have several friends that are. Growing up, you had some of your friends that were

00:42:50.220 Catholic in name only and some that were pretty devout. And what I did notice is the friends that

00:42:56.420 are pretty strict with the Catholic faith look at the Pope in the same way that I see the left

00:43:01.860 looked at Dr. Fauci. You know, Fauci says he's the science and the Pope is the faith. So my question

00:43:09.900 to you as a devout Catholic man and cult leader, what is your view on the position of the Pope in

00:43:17.140 the Catholic faith? And how do you as a very conservative minded person uphold the Catholic

00:43:25.120 doctrine, even when the figurehead espouses pretty left leaning ideologies? Thank you, sir.

00:43:32.760 SPG for life. Uh, yeah, well, first of all, I gotta say that, uh, thanks for the comment. And it is,

00:43:40.180 it is, I have discovered with these video comments that, um, the, the sweet daddy Walsh thing, it's,

00:43:45.400 it's a whole other ball game when I can actually see and hear the person calling me that. And it's,

00:43:50.820 it's like an extra element of weirdness, but that's, that's fine. You know, well, I'll get through

00:43:54.880 that part of it. As far as the Pope goes, um, fortunately, and this is, this is something that

00:44:02.520 Catholics were, were constantly having to explain, or at least the Catholics who understand their own 1.00

00:44:08.820 faith. And part of the problem is that many Catholics do not. And they're the ones who create 1.00

00:44:12.520 this confusion. So I don't blame non-Catholics for not understanding this, but fortunately, um, 1.00

00:44:16.480 we are not obligated to agree with the Pope, uh, on his positions on various subjects. Um,

00:44:26.580 you know, the Pope has, has his own views and his own ideas. And I, I happen to think that this Pope

00:44:32.340 is wrong about very many things. I think it's fundamentally wrong in his basic worldview as well.

00:44:38.080 And I'm allowed to think that I'm not required to say anything otherwise. Um, every, the, the Pope's,

00:44:45.980 every pronouncement is not an infallible declaration. Now there is some disagreement

00:44:52.920 among Catholics and theologians about, uh, how many infallible declarations have actually been

00:44:58.300 made by Popes. And there's discussion about how many it is, but however many it is, it's a very small

00:45:04.020 number actually. And, um, so this Pope just kind of speaking off the cuff or even standing up at mass

00:45:11.700 and giving a homily, I am not required to agree with any of it. And I don't, I very much disagree

00:45:16.760 with this Pope on almost everything that he seems to say, uh, at least when it comes to his ideology

00:45:23.280 and his, uh, in his worldview. Um, you know, part, part of the problem is that, because you could

00:45:30.360 always ask, well, have there been Popes in the past who you would have disagreed with just as much?

00:45:36.020 Probably. But the issue is that we, we are now in a position both because of 24 hour media and the

00:45:43.060 internet, and also because of this Pope's, uh, propensity for just babbling. We're in a position

00:45:48.000 to, to constantly hear everything he has to say about everything. He's, he's constantly talking

00:45:53.200 about, about things. He'll be on a plane and just, you know, talking to reporters. And, um,

00:45:59.580 and so he loves to talk and we can hear it. And so we're constantly subjected to, to it,

00:46:06.820 but I, I very much disagree in when that's, and I'm perfectly within my rights as a Catholic to do

00:46:13.100 that. All right. A couple of written comments is from Ryan Listerman says, Matt delivered such

00:46:17.460 savage mic drops. His opponents had to change their pronouns to was, were. That's good. That might be my

00:46:24.880 favorite comment of all time. Incredibly well done. We should send you a prize. Can we do that?

00:46:30.320 Send him a t-shirt or something? Maybe if we can, we'll send you one. Uh, Iron Man says the fact that

00:46:35.360 they were traumatized by a debate is a hundred percent proof they need mental help. Um, I actually

00:46:41.320 don't think it's, it's proof of that. I think you let them off the hook by saying that they need,

00:46:46.760 they need mental help or whatever. Um, I think it's, it is evidence of the flimsiness and fragility,

00:46:53.260 as we were talking about of their worldview and the fact that they are aware that it's flimsy and

00:46:57.900 fragile. David says, why is Matt so obsessed with the transgender issue? The lady doth protest too 0.99

00:47:06.380 much, me thinks. Sorry, I meant gentlemen. Somebody needs to check the back of Matt's closet for panties, 0.91

00:47:12.380 bras, and corsets. So what are you implying? So I talk about it, uh, because I'm secretly trans is

00:47:18.460 what you're saying. Well, you got me. It's true. I am actually, I, I, uh, you're, you're, but you,

00:47:24.340 you've, you got it backwards though. Cause I, I'm, I'm a woman originally and I underwent

00:47:28.500 the most convincing transition of all time. You got me. It's a hundred percent true. And now that my

00:47:35.120 secret is out, I have the social credit to say whatever I want about the trans issue and you

00:47:41.320 can't criticize me. Transphobe. So checkmate. As the beloved author of the bestselling children's

00:47:47.580 book, LGBTQ plus children's book, I should say Johnny, the walrus. I am now a very important

00:47:52.280 voice in the transgender conversation. That's why I was invited to Dr. Phil to discuss these

00:47:55.980 most important issues with experts who could not even tell me what a woman was. Here's a clip of my

00:48:00.640 enlightening experience. That's a question I would like to throw out to other members of the panel

00:48:05.380 actually, because just like the four-year-old can't answer what is a girl. Well, this is one of the

00:48:10.000 problems with this left-wing gender ideology is that no one who espouses it can even tell you what

00:48:15.260 these words mean. Like, what is a woman? Can you tell me what a woman is? No, I can't. Because it's

00:48:21.620 not for me to say. Womanhood looks different for everybody. What do you define a woman as? An adult 0.96

00:48:27.620 human female. And what does a female mean? How do you define a female? Someone with female reproductive 0.91

00:48:33.500 organs. Okay. Someone who's, you know, here's the thing. When you're a female, it goes right down to 1.00

00:48:38.460 your bones, your DNA. So that's why if someone dies, we could dig up their bones a hundred years from

00:48:44.420 now. We have no idea what they believed in their head, but we can tell what sex they were because

00:48:48.580 it's in, it's down in, it's, it's ingrained in every fiber of their being. Interesting. So I'm trying

00:48:53.740 to understand your definition is that a woman is someone who is female, you said, right? Correct. 0.99

00:48:59.120 There's a biological female. So what happens if we have maybe someone who is female, identifies as a 1.00

00:49:04.760 woman, right? You know, cisgender woman, right? As you explained, as you just explained, maybe doesn't 0.84

00:49:09.300 have the ability to reproduce. Maybe doesn't have those organs that you're talking about that are

00:49:14.320 reproductive organs. I have answered the question. You stood up here and said, trans women are women. 0.97

00:49:19.820 Yes. Tell me what you mean. What is a woman? Womanhood is something that, just as Ethan explained,

00:49:24.300 I cannot define because I am not myself. But you used the word. So what did you mean when you said

00:49:27.720 trans women are women if you don't know what it means? Right. So here's the thing. So I do not define

00:49:32.320 what a woman is because I do not identify as a woman. Womanhood is something that is an umbrella term.

00:49:37.520 It includes people who... That describes what?

00:49:41.140 People who identify as a woman. Identify as what? As a woman. What is that? 0.61

00:49:47.740 What's to each their own. Each woman, each man, each person is going to have a different relation 0.70

00:49:52.700 with their own gender identity and define it differently. And so trans women are women too.

00:49:58.040 Okay. And you want to... Hold on. Hold on. You want to reduce...

00:50:02.260 You won't even tell me what the word means, though. So that's the problem. You want to reduce women, 1.00

00:50:05.520 you want to reduce men down to maybe just their genetics, our genitals, our chromosomes, right?

00:50:10.260 That's what you're saying. What you want to do is appropriate women. You want to appropriate

00:50:15.120 womanhood and turn it into basically a costume that could be worn. 1.00

00:50:18.840 If you want to learn more about toxic transgender ideology, pick up a copy of my bestselling 1.00

00:50:23.320 children's book, Johnny the Walrus, about a boy who believes he's a walrus and the internet mob who

00:50:28.020 tells his mother to respect his trans walrus identity. Johnny the Walrus sold out in 48 hours

00:50:32.580 when it was released. But don't worry, more copies are on the way. You can reserve yours now

00:50:40.660 Luke Rosiak, the Daily Wire journalist who broke the big national story about sexual abuse in Loudoun

00:50:45.000 County schools, has a new book out exposing public schools. It's called Race to the Bottom,

00:50:49.380 Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying America's Public School System. You can pre-order it at Amazon

00:50:53.940 today. It includes the never-before-told story of America's first woke school system, which was in

00:50:59.080 Seattle. Tracy Castro-Gill, the director of ethnic studies at Seattle Public Schools, turned math into

00:51:04.960 math ethnic studies, where students must explain how math is used to oppress and marginalize people

00:51:11.040 and communities of color. Math is used. I mean, I always felt oppressed as by math when I was in

00:51:16.320 school, but I'm, you know, white. By spring 2018, the math ethnic studies program was piloted in six

00:51:21.480 schools on the next state math exam. The performance of black students at those schools plummeted. The

00:51:26.920 state named Tracy Regional Teacher of the Year for 2018 to 2019, and they're employing her methods all

00:51:32.040 over the country. To learn more about this and so much else, pre-order a copy of Luke Rosiak's book,

00:51:37.340 Race to the Bottom, Uncovering the Secret Forces Destroying America's Public School System, today

00:51:41.360 at Amazon. Now let's go to our daily cancellation.

00:51:48.720 Well, the world rejoiced yesterday when candy maker Mars Incorporated announced that it would be

00:51:52.960 rebranding M&Ms to make them more inclusive and progressive for the year 2022 as part of their,

00:51:58.220 quote, global commitment to creating a world where everyone feels they belong and society is

00:52:03.340 inclusive. This is one of the final pieces necessary to usher in an age of harmony and

00:52:08.400 tranquility. Now all we need is for the patriarchal gender essentialist Mike and Ikes and the violent 1.00

00:52:13.520 and triggering pop rocks to finally evolve as well. We are on the cusp of utopia. So close I can taste it.

00:52:21.600 Tastes sweet and has 35 grams of sugar per serving. Nobody expected that civilization could be saved.

00:52:28.220 by junk food brands. But they've been at the front lines in the battle against bigotry for a long

00:52:33.220 time actually. It began two years ago when Gushers tweeted in support of BLM. They tweeted,

00:52:38.140 Gushers wouldn't be Gushers without the black community and your voices. We're working with

00:52:42.580 Fruit by the Foot on creating space to amplify that. We see you. We stand with you. Prior to this

00:52:49.200 statement, most people had never thought about the intersectional relationship between fruit snacks

00:52:53.520 and racial justice. But the dream team of Fruit by the Foot and Gushers changed all of that.

00:52:58.940 Junk food brands have been leading the charge ever since and brands in general have remained at the

00:53:02.880 forefront in the struggle for tolerance and equality. We talked yesterday about about Audi's ad promoting

00:53:08.120 gender sensitive language. Every day another brand steps up. The brands are our guiding light. The

00:53:13.260 brands will show us the way. The brands will save us. Or so we hope. But sadly,

00:53:19.740 as I read more about M&M's alleged efforts to promote inclusion and diversity, I found myself

00:53:26.000 unsatisfied. Come to think of it, we even need to ask some questions about Gushers.

00:53:30.700 Whatever happened to the space that it was supposed to make to amplify black voices? That was two years

00:53:35.320 ago. I have not heard any black voice amplified by a fruit snack in the two years since. I've seen 1.00

00:53:40.880 black people buy fruit snacks. I've seen them eat fruit snacks. I haven't seen the fruit snack do anything 1.00

00:53:44.980 for them though. The fruit snack just sits there passively waiting to be consumed. Its silence is

00:53:50.580 deafening. Its silence is violence. What about M&M's? Well, the VP of the company appeared on the

00:53:56.380 website Cheddar News, where all important news is reported, to talk about the brand's mission and

00:54:00.880 vision for the year ahead. Here she is explaining how M&M's, she hopes, will spark a movement and change

00:54:07.460 the world. M&M's is on a mission to create a world where everyone feels they belong. We're wanting to

00:54:15.080 start a movement to remind everyone that despite our differences, we have an incredibly powerful

00:54:21.060 thing in common as a community, which is the power of fun. It's actually a reaffirmation, a concrete

00:54:27.760 commitment to what we've always believed as a brand, that the power of fun is the most important way

00:54:34.280 that we can help people feel included and increase that sense of belonging. And as you mentioned,

00:54:39.860 as a reflection of that, you're going to see our brand evolve in its look and feel to reflect a

00:54:45.300 dynamic and progressive world that we're living in. Sounds promising. There's nothing lofty about

00:54:52.540 a brand of candy promising to fundamentally change and reshape society. In fact, historians agree that

00:54:56.700 a great number of the major revolutions in human history have been sparked by different types of

00:55:00.620 candies. The Reese's Revolution of 1645, just one example. But let's listen to their actual plan,

00:55:07.860 because here's where things go off the rails a little bit, I think. How will M&M's be more

00:55:11.840 inclusive exactly? Listen. So as an iconic brand that's been around for actually over 80 years,

00:55:18.340 it's really important that we're evolving over time as well. And one of the most powerful ways we can do

00:55:23.940 that is through our beloved characters. You'll see them as we've done a deep look at them both inside,

00:55:30.080 as well as out in terms of reflecting new looks, personalities and backstories. For example,

00:55:36.980 green, you'll see her better reflect empowerment and confidence and be known for more than just her

00:55:43.240 shoes. You're going to see green and brown together being a supporting force for women who are throwing 0.99

00:55:49.340 shine and not shade. You'll also see orange really embraces true self, worries and all and not be afraid

00:55:57.480 to express it. We actually know orange is the most relatable of our characters in the crew. It's based

00:56:04.200 on some conversations we've had with Gen Z, which we know is the most anxious generation. And beyond

00:56:10.620 our characters, you'll see things such as our increased colour palette, as well as the different

00:56:17.060 sizes and shapes of our lentils. And a personal favourite of mine, more of an emphasis on the

00:56:22.680 ampersand. It's a distinctive element of the M&M's logo that connects the two M's together.

00:56:28.780 And it's really a signal of our belief as a brand that we are better together.

00:56:34.580 Wow. Look, there's no question that women across the country will be uplifted and empowered by the

00:56:40.040 green and brown M&M. Now, the support of these two anthropomorphised pieces of candy will be crucial

00:56:45.060 to women. In fact, not but a week ago, I came into the living room and I found my wife collapsed on the 1.00

00:56:49.560 couch in tears. I asked her what was wrong and she told me that she didn't feel supported by the

00:56:53.980 green M&M. And all I could do was hold her and weep with her. Now M&M's have addressed this problem

00:56:59.500 and that is admirable and important. And there's likewise no doubt that we all will derive inspiration

00:57:05.220 from the orange M&M as he embraces his true self. It's always been clear to me that the orange M&M

00:57:09.480 was repressing his true identity, hiding his truth away in fear. And it brings me comfort to know that

00:57:14.200 he'll finally be able to live authentically. But with all that said, M&M's have still dropped the ball

00:57:19.220 significantly. First of all, it is unconscionable that in the year 2022, there still is no overt

00:57:25.740 LGBT representation in the M&M community. Perhaps the true self stuff is supposed to hint at the 1.00

00:57:31.920 orange M&M's sexuality, but mere hinting is not even close to good enough. We have to know in very

00:57:38.200 precise terms about the orange M&M's sexual identity and gender expression. Is he gay? Is he bisexual?

00:57:43.340 Is he a trans M&M? Is he a genderqueer, non-binary, transmasculine, two-spirit, demisexual?

00:57:47.980 The fact that he's still forced to keep this part of himself locked away only shows that M&M's as a 0.91

00:57:52.940 company is not serious in its commitment to diversity and inclusion. Indeed, its erasure

00:57:58.620 of LGBT identities is a direct assault on an already marginalized community, which has been waiting 0.98

00:58:04.580 too long for candy brand representation. Further, while we can appreciate the fact that there is a

00:58:10.620 brown M&M which serves to validate black and brown bodies, still there has not been any ad campaign so

00:58:16.100 far as I'm aware, dealing with systemic racism or police brutality. We have not seen an ad, for

00:58:20.740 example, where the brown M&M is racially profiled during a traffic stop. Is that because the M&M's 0.96

00:58:25.620 brand denies that the black community is subject to such persecution? Or do they just not care enough 0.75

00:58:32.120 to acknowledge this reality in their ad campaigns? Which is it, M&M's? This is all to say nothing of the

00:58:37.740 fact that still, even now, in the year 2022, they haven't introduced a line of M&M's where the M is

00:58:43.120 written in braille for the sake of the visually impaired. This continued oversight effectively

00:58:47.280 makes it impossible for blind people to eat M&M's, a problem that could be solved by litigation

00:58:51.160 or legislation if Congress could get its act together, but which is, you know, a truly inclusive

00:58:56.260 company would address on its own. Of course, this is part of a long history of M&M ableism. For a long

00:59:02.040 time, their motto was, if you remember, melts in your mouth, not in your hand, completely ignoring the

00:59:07.220 fact that some Americans don't have hands. So it's clear that M&M's commitment to progress,

00:59:13.080 equity, and inclusion is tentative at best, disingenuous at worst. This rebrand is an

00:59:19.060 improvement. Doesn't go nearly far enough. All I can say to M&M's is this, listen to marginalized

00:59:27.480 communities, hear what they're saying, and do the work. Until then, you're canceled. And we'll leave

00:59:36.380 it there for today and the week. Have a great weekend. Talk to you on Monday. Godspeed.
