Transcript

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, there's an opening on the Supreme Court, and it's been decided that a black woman must fill it.
00:00:05.300 Which black woman? Well, any will do, apparently.
00:00:07.700 Once again, we see the absurd racism of racial equity on full display.
00:00:11.700 Also, there has been a huge surge in children experiencing speech delays because of masking.
00:00:16.360 And Media Matters publishes a lengthy expose about a certain bigoted Dr. Phil clip that lots of people on Facebook have seen and shared, and they're very concerned about that.
00:00:24.280 Now, our daily cancellation will deal finally with the NFT phenomenon.
00:00:27.780 Is it a good investment opportunity, or is it the dumbest thing in the history of the world and a sign of our civilization's decadence and decay?
00:00:34.360 We'll find out today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:45.860 Well, we're all experiencing the hurt at the gas pump with prices being so high right now, but there is help here.
00:00:52.140 There is a way around this. There's an incredible app that everyone who buys gas needs to know about.
00:00:56.140 It's called GetUpside. My listeners are making up to $0.25 for every gallon of gas every time they fill up.
00:01:01.300 All you've got to do is download the free GetUpside app in the App Store or Google Play right now.
00:01:05.960 Use promo code Walsh and get a bonus $0.25 per gallon on your first fill-up.
00:01:09.600 That's up to $0.50 cash back that you're getting.
00:01:12.480 Don't pay full price of the pump anymore. There's no reason to do that.
00:01:15.000 Get cash back using GetUpside.
00:01:17.380 Just download the app for free and use promo code Walsh to get up to $0.50 a gallon cash back on your first tank.
00:01:22.180 Some people who drive a lot are making as much as $200 to $300 a month in cash back, and there's no catch.
00:01:27.540 You know, the cash gets added right to your account.
00:01:29.940 It's as easy as that. You can cash out any time to your bank account, PayPal, or an e-gift card for Amazon and other brands.
00:01:36.260 Just download the free GetUpside app and use promo code Walsh to get up to $0.50 a gallon cash back on your first tank.
00:01:41.440 That's code Walsh.
00:01:42.500 You know that the Democrats are in for a pummeling in the next election when the elderly liberals on the Supreme Court start retiring ahead of time
00:01:50.420 so that they can be replaced before the next Congress is elected.
00:01:53.540 Of course, in Justice Breyer's case, it appears that he was, well, helped in making his retirement announcement.
00:01:58.840 In fact, he didn't announce it at all.
00:02:00.760 It simply was announced by the media that he would be retiring.
00:02:03.980 As of last night, he hadn't said a word about it himself.
00:02:07.040 The powers that be seem to be dropping a hint, and not a very subtle one either.
00:02:11.940 I think when you go to work and they're throwing a retirement party for you already, and you say,
00:02:16.280 well, I never said I was retiring.
00:02:17.800 Hey, congratulations on your retirement.
00:02:19.440 That's a hint that they want you gone.
00:02:22.180 Now, assuming that Breyer does as he's told and vacates his seat, that leaves us with the question of who will replace him.
00:02:29.940 Needless to say, we learned during the Amy Coney Barrett hearing that it is an attack on our democracy.
00:02:35.940 It's an assault on our very way of life, on our sacred institutions, on the norms, the blessed norms,
00:02:42.400 to confirm a Supreme Court nominee during an election year.
00:02:46.240 You can't do that.
00:02:47.400 I even dare say that it would be an insurrection, a tragedy worse than 15 9-11s and 12 Pearl Harbors,
00:02:54.120 and three World War IIs, and one World War I.
00:02:57.580 That's the equation.
00:02:58.640 If he is replaced before the election.
00:03:01.020 You just can't do it.
00:03:02.280 But the Democrats are very clear about this.
00:03:05.860 Yet it seems that they plan to move forward with a nomination and confirmation anyway,
00:03:09.460 despite the fact that doing so will spend the end of Western civilization,
00:03:13.520 as they repeatedly explained when Amy Coney Barrett was nominated.
00:03:17.260 So who will get the nod?
00:03:18.340 Well, Joe Biden already announced over a year ago that whenever he has a spot to fill on the court,
00:03:23.480 he will fill it with a black woman.
00:03:25.640 Which black woman?
00:03:26.660 Well, it doesn't seem to matter very much.
00:03:28.600 What even is a black woman?
00:03:30.860 He can't say.
00:03:32.280 None of them can.
00:03:33.980 But whatever that is, and whoever it is, he will find her, or him, or them.
00:03:39.420 It's quite disappointing, really, that he isn't going for a more progressive choice.
00:03:43.120 Perhaps, you know, he could nominate a gender-fluid, aboriginal, polygamist, Hawaiian, non-binary,
00:03:48.320 lesbian, transracial, black, Korean Eskimo for the role.
00:03:51.080 We haven't had one of those on the court in well over 100 years.
00:03:53.900 But instead, Biden is going the safe route in keeping with his promise, a promise that his ringmasters have certainly not forgotten.
00:04:02.520 Yesterday, one prominent leftist after another came out to declare that it's time for a black woman on the Supreme Court.
00:04:08.920 The Ringo of the squad, Ayanna Pressley, was the first out of the gate, and she says it's time for a black woman.
00:04:14.660 It's a black woman's turn, she says.
00:04:17.360 There's a waiting list organized by identity, and it clearly says that black women are next in line.
00:04:23.360 But not all black women.
00:04:25.440 Some black people don't count as black people, we've learned.
00:04:27.980 Clarence Thomas is black, but his blackness is erased by the fact that he has the wrong opinions.
00:04:33.160 We need a black woman, then, who has the right skin pigment, but also the right thoughts.
00:04:40.120 That's what Biden pledged, and yesterday, Jen Psaki renewed that pledge.
00:04:43.960 Listen.
00:04:45.240 So let's say hypothetically, a Supreme Court justice was to retire and announce it on his or her own terms.
00:04:55.520 Does President Biden plan to honor his pledge to nominate a black woman to the court?
00:05:00.360 Well, I've commented on this previously.
00:05:02.700 The president has stated and reiterated his commitment to nominating a black woman to the Supreme Court, and certainly stands by that.
00:05:12.540 This is what we call diverse and inclusive now, when entire races and sexes are excluded from the outset.
00:05:20.140 Is that even legal?
00:05:22.500 I mean, aren't there laws forbidding government officials or even private employers from excluding applicants based on race?
00:05:28.080 You might think so, but the law, just like common sense, moral decency, and all other considerations, must be placed to the side for the sake of racial equity.
00:05:36.940 Not to be confused with racial equality.
00:05:39.300 Racial equality promises that all people will be treated the same regardless of skin color.
00:05:44.000 Racial equity promises that all people will be treated according to their skin color.
00:05:48.320 If the two concepts seem to be opposites, then, well, you're catching on.
00:05:54.360 The consequence of this approach is that whichever black woman is chosen, we won't be able to say that she achieved anything.
00:06:01.400 It won't be an accomplishment.
00:06:03.100 Nothing to congratulate her for.
00:06:05.660 We will not be able to say that she was selected for the job because of her merits or qualifications.
00:06:10.160 She'll be an affirmative action hire, a kind of a trophy in a display case, the token black woman.
00:06:17.240 It's degrading and dehumanizing, even if the eventual nominee isn't self-aware enough to feel degraded and dehumanized by the whole thing.
00:06:25.820 You know, Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier.
00:06:29.320 And we say he broke it because he broke it.
00:06:31.260 He smashed it.
00:06:31.860 He forced his way through a system that was stacked against him because he was such a phenomenally talented and determined and courageous man and athlete.
00:06:39.240 He's remembered by history and honored because of that.
00:06:42.600 But if Major League Baseball had just said, hey, we need a black guy so, you know, so that people don't think we're racist anymore.
00:06:48.200 And then they just pulled the first black guy off the street that they happened to stumble across.
00:06:51.560 Hey, you, you've got dark skin.
00:06:52.860 Come over here and make us seem less racist.
00:06:55.880 If it had worked that way, then the story of Jackie Robinson would be remembered in quite a different light.
00:07:01.320 And for the worse.
00:07:03.180 Of course, in this case, in modern times, the system is not at all stacked against black women or black people in general.
00:07:07.880 If you're a racial minority, all of the most powerful institutions in the country trip over themselves to celebrate and empower you.
00:07:16.060 Laws are written which discriminate not against you, but for you.
00:07:20.840 And that's why it's important to stipulate that although this racial equity nonsense degrades and dehumanizes the alleged victim groups that it purports to help,
00:07:28.720 and that is an important facet of this,
00:07:30.580 the real victims of this kind of system are the groups that are specially excluded.
00:07:34.760 So it's, it's never entirely safe to criticize racial equity, but the safest way to do it.
00:07:41.760 And the thing that a lot of conservatives focus on is to point out how it demeans racial minorities while claiming to elevate them.
00:07:48.260 You know, to say, Hey, you're trying to help racial minorities.
00:07:50.240 It's actually hurting them because it is dehumanizing, degrading, all that kind of thing.
00:07:54.480 And yeah, that we could point that out that that's the safer route, the less safe route, but also the most important point is that racial equity is explicitly anti-white.
00:08:05.460 It is racist against white people and anti-white racism is evil.
00:08:10.860 It's not the first time that the Biden administration has announced white males need not apply.
00:08:16.320 They did the same for COVID relief funds.
00:08:19.080 This is their MO as it's the MO of the left.
00:08:21.880 Generally, we're watching in real time as explicit, overt racism and discrimination against an entire class of people is being normalized.
00:08:30.740 And it's become so normal that even those of us who recognize it for the wickedness that it is still probably don't feel the appropriate amount amount of outrage when the federal government announces out loud, you know, we don't want white men for this role.
00:08:45.480 White men can go to hell.
00:08:47.520 There is systemic racism in America today.
00:08:51.080 And it's against white men.
00:08:53.640 Yes, they are the victims of it.
00:08:56.080 And we need to keep pointing that out.
00:08:58.300 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:09:00.740 Hey, by the way, if you have not been to our Daily Wire shop recently to the Swag Shack, as I call it, then you have to go there.
00:09:16.180 Dailywire.com slash shop and just go skim over everything else and go right to the Matt Walsh store.
00:09:23.020 And I didn't even, you know, I just checked it myself for the first time in a while.
00:09:27.340 And there's a bunch of stuff I didn't even know was on here.
00:09:28.720 Like, for example, you can get a Matt Walsh, you can get a T-shirt which lists my preferred adjectives, as I explained with Dr. Phil, handsome and brilliant.
00:09:36.700 And if those are also your preferred adjectives, then you can get a shirt which, you know, announces that and lets everybody know so they can refer to you in a way that validates your lived experience.
00:09:45.840 But we also have these, these are hot off the presses.
00:09:48.520 So we've got these patches here that kind of like, like sort of like merit badges that they used to give in the Boy Scouts.
00:09:53.800 But the Boy Scouts are effectively dead. So instead of the Boy Scouts now, we have the Sweet Baby Gang.
00:09:59.220 And, you know, we've got Save a Boy. I didn't know if you could see these in the camera, but the No Panda Merit Badge, Return or Die.
00:10:06.600 You get this one when you return your shopping cart.
00:10:08.740 And so we've got Sweet Baby Gang, of course, you get the patches.
00:10:11.540 Each of these patches cost $77.
00:10:14.220 I don't know if that's the exact price, but there's a little bit of a premium, but it's worth it, I think.
00:10:22.580 All right, let's start with this.
00:10:24.380 One of the consequences of masking children, as some of us have been pointing out for years, is that you create speech delays.
00:10:33.960 I mean, along with the psychological effects and everything else, there's speech delays that are a consequence.
00:10:40.280 Because children, especially those who already have speech delays, need to see words being formed in order to know how to say them.
00:10:50.600 And so when a child goes to speech therapy, this is a very important part of it.
00:10:55.280 The speech therapist is enunciating the words, and the child is watching the mouth of the speech therapist.
00:11:02.940 And that's how they learn how to form those words themselves.
00:11:08.220 But you put masks on everybody, and that becomes a real problem.
00:11:12.380 Because one of the primary tools that children use to learn how to speak, which is the visual tool, it's not all audible, has been taken away from them.
00:11:22.280 And so there's a local news report, WPBF, ABC affiliate, and they looked into this, and here's what they found.
00:11:30.520 Jacqueline Teak says during this pandemic, her speech therapy clinic has seen an enormous shift in the ages of their patients.
00:11:38.320 Before the pandemic, only 5% of patients were babies and toddlers.
00:11:42.360 Today, it has soared to 20%.
00:11:44.880 Many parents calling it COVID-delayed.
00:11:48.260 We've seen a 364% increase in patient referrals of babies and toddlers from pediatricians and parents.
00:11:56.260 And they are children that are having a difficult time speaking?
00:11:59.580 Speech-delayed.
00:12:00.780 Babies start learning how to speak by reading lips as young as 8 months.
00:12:04.820 So what happens when lips and faces are covered up by masks?
00:12:08.960 Well, therapists say for some kids, they can work around the mask and still learn to speak perfectly fine.
00:12:14.060 But for others, it can cause speech delays.
00:12:16.840 There's no research out there yet to say that this could be causing speech and language delays,
00:12:21.160 but most definitely, it's, I'm sure, a factor.
00:12:24.100 It's very important kids do see your face to learn, so they are watching your mouth.
00:12:28.000 That's orange. Can you say orange?
00:12:30.280 Orange.
00:12:31.340 That was a good try.
00:12:32.640 Brianna Gay is raising five children, but it's her youngest who needs therapy.
00:12:36.840 It definitely makes a difference when the world you're growing up in,
00:12:40.580 you can't interact with people and their face.
00:12:44.040 That's super important to babies.
00:12:46.580 We're seeing a lot of things that look just like autism.
00:12:51.020 They're not making any word attempts and not communicating at all with their family.
00:12:56.620 Okay, well, so we're just interfering with our children's ability to speak.
00:13:01.740 How important is that?
00:13:03.140 Who needs to be able to speak?
00:13:05.800 It's a fundamental human capacity that we've interfered with, disabled, because of the masking.
00:13:14.200 That's another one of the trade-offs that was made when they pushed the masking stuff
00:13:17.700 and they acted like there was no trade-off at all.
00:13:19.400 Better safe than sorry.
00:13:20.280 It's not hurting anything.
00:13:21.440 And she says there have been no studies yet that have confirmed this, and she's right,
00:13:27.560 and that has been the excuse all along.
00:13:29.440 Not that she was not making excuses, but the pro-maskers, this has been their excuse in their line all along.
00:13:39.440 If you brought up the issue of speech delays, psychological harm, all of this,
00:13:44.640 they say, well, where's your study?
00:13:46.380 Show me the study that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that these consequences will follow from masking.
00:13:57.500 Well, there are no studies, you idiot, because we've never done anything like this before in human history.
00:14:06.380 There's no precedent for it.
00:14:08.520 There's never been an occasion to study it.
00:14:10.980 There's never been a way to study it.
00:14:12.600 Up until this point, we had not had access to a generation of children who went through their formative years
00:14:23.320 with their faces covered and everybody else's faces covered.
00:14:27.220 That never existed before, so how can we study it?
00:14:31.780 So without the studies, the all-important studies that everybody demands,
00:14:36.960 no matter what claim you make, there's always, oh, where's the study for that?
00:14:39.780 You know, it is possible to just use your common damn sense every once in a while.
00:14:44.080 You don't need a study.
00:14:45.120 You don't need something written on a piece of paper, research, peer-reviewed,
00:14:48.820 to confirm what common sense should tell you.
00:14:53.480 Because the only way to get a study about something like this is to go ahead and do it,
00:14:58.020 and then afterwards go back and see how much it harmed the kids.
00:15:02.220 That's the only way to study it.
00:15:04.000 But by the time you're studying it, it's too late.
00:15:05.940 The harm is done.
00:15:06.480 The other option is to use your common sense
00:15:10.360 and to realize that we're human beings, not like robots.
00:15:16.260 And as human beings, our ability to see each other face-to-face is really important.
00:15:22.260 It's a basic aspect of human existence.
00:15:24.740 If you've ever been around a child, you've ever been around a baby?
00:15:34.340 I think, of course, a lot of the people, the powers that be, they're not around children at all.
00:15:41.860 A lot of them are a bunch of childless, bitter tyrants.
00:15:46.000 So they might not even know this, but if you've ever been around a baby, you'll notice how, what, it's actually quite incredible.
00:15:53.540 How, and I often think about this when you see a baby, the way that they kind of, they lock in on your face.
00:15:59.940 They know, they don't know much about the world, but they know to look into your eyes.
00:16:05.880 That's this kind of instinctive thing.
00:16:09.880 Even very young babies make eye contact.
00:16:12.080 And you can see them, if you're talking to a baby, interacting with a baby,
00:16:15.800 you can see them kind of, like, studying your face in this very inquisitive way.
00:16:20.600 And when they're studying my face, part of what they're thinking is,
00:16:23.280 who is this hairy, gross beast?
00:16:25.840 Get him away from me.
00:16:26.740 But they're also studying to see, oh, they're moving the mouth.
00:16:30.780 What does that mean?
00:16:31.260 And this is what kids do.
00:16:36.140 Here's a father on the same subject here.
00:16:38.200 A father in Loudoun County, my hometown, speaking out about this at a school board meeting.
00:16:42.620 Apparently, the school board meeting is now in Loudoun County.
00:16:44.340 They are allowing people in the room again.
00:16:47.040 Of course, when I went and spoke at Loudoun County, they wouldn't let anybody in the room.
00:16:50.240 You had to line up outside in single file line, and then they let you come in for 60 seconds,
00:16:54.260 and then they kicked you out the door again.
00:16:55.440 So they are allowing people in the room again, very magnanimous of them.
00:16:58.480 And here's a father talking about this issue with speech delays.
00:17:03.360 My beautiful six-year-old kindergarten daughter asked to come with me today
00:17:06.440 to see the people who are forcing her against her will and mine to wear a mask.
00:17:10.440 Mr. Ziegler, right there, I have a question for you.
00:17:13.140 Do you know her name?
00:17:14.600 Mr. Marshall, were you there when she was born?
00:17:17.180 Mr. Hoyler, were you there when she got on the school bus for her first day of kindergarten?
00:17:21.140 Mr. Morse, do you know that she has trouble pronouncing her S-P syllables?
00:17:24.680 Mr. Sorokin, did you know wearing a mask is contributing to my daughter's LCPS speech services?
00:17:30.960 Of course you don't know any of this.
00:17:32.800 Yet you feel that you have the right to mandate a medical decision for my child.
00:17:36.100 And you feel so strongly about this that you are willing to break an executive order to do it.
00:17:40.280 And not only that, but you are bullies.
00:17:42.020 You are actually sending students to the office, sending them home,
00:17:44.440 and or segregating them for mask noncompliance.
00:17:47.180 Shame on you.
00:17:48.440 You do not have the right to make medical decisions for my child.
00:17:50.900 This is my child, not yours.
00:17:53.560 I want my child to learn to communicate.
00:17:57.600 She needs the option to not wear a mask during these incredibly important first years of her education.
00:18:01.760 Start listening to parents.
00:18:03.180 Follow EO2 exactly like you followed all of Northam's EOs.
00:18:09.800 Domestic terrorism at its worst there.
00:18:13.500 So it sounds like they still only give you 60 seconds.
00:18:17.740 You have 60 seconds.
00:18:19.240 All that can be said in 60 seconds.
00:18:21.700 And that father cramped quite a bit into his credit.
00:18:25.800 All of his rhetorical questions at the beginning, of course, the answer is no.
00:18:28.820 Do they know his child?
00:18:29.660 Do they care about his child?
00:18:30.640 No, none of them do.
00:18:33.520 And you send your kid to public school.
00:18:34.940 Then the people determining what's going to happen to your kid,
00:18:39.380 they're all people who don't know your kid, don't care about them.
00:18:45.200 That's the reality when you send them to public school.
00:18:46.940 Well, Jordan Peterson said something important about this.
00:18:50.800 He said that children who can't speak can't object.
00:18:54.720 I think that's quite profound.
00:18:56.120 A lot of profound things Jordan Peterson says, and that's one of them.
00:18:59.880 Perhaps it's not a coincidence.
00:19:01.560 You know, the schools are such big fans of masking.
00:19:06.440 And it interferes with the child's ability to communicate, both physically in the moment because they're literally muffled and you can't understand what anybody's saying.
00:19:15.500 That's another thing.
00:19:18.020 Taking speech delays aside, it can be hard enough with young children, especially if they're not your child.
00:19:24.920 When it's your own child, you kind of understand their language.
00:19:27.640 And so my two-year-old will talk to me in her own version of full sentences.
00:19:34.420 And I think anybody on the outside would have no clue what she's saying.
00:19:36.980 But I know exactly, my wife knows exactly because we, you know, we understand her language because we know her.
00:19:41.380 But if it's not your own child, trying to understand, you know, a three or four-year-old, even if they, even if their speech is up to par for their age group, it can already be difficult.
00:19:53.300 Because they're not as, you know, they're still learning how to express themselves.
00:19:57.200 Now put a mask on them, then it's impossible to understand them.
00:20:03.940 Perhaps that's not a coincidence.
00:20:06.280 The school system would prefer it that way.
00:20:09.280 The kids can't speak, can't express themselves, cannot object, can't register any protest.
00:20:18.000 The schools have been trying to muffle kids in various different ways for a long time.
00:20:22.060 Muffle and neuter them in all kinds of different ways.
00:20:29.320 Including through the use of drugs, psychotropic drugs, ADHD medication, and so on.
00:20:34.840 It's just another way to do that.
00:20:37.400 This is ideal.
00:20:39.000 Like, this is the ideal scenario for the government education system.
00:20:43.720 There's a bunch of kids sitting there with masks on.
00:20:48.080 So these, that's how they see your kid.
00:20:49.900 This faceless automaton with ears, but, but no mouth.
00:20:57.820 Can hear what you're saying, cannot say anything back.
00:21:02.640 Meanwhile, elsewhere in Virginia, here's a Virginia Democrat taking Glenn Youngkin to task for praying for him.
00:21:10.980 He's quite offended by that.
00:21:12.120 Listen.
00:21:12.280 There is a lot going on right now.
00:21:15.800 When I was here about a month ago with freshmen, unexpectedly, the governor, the governor-elect at the time, he came in this chamber with the freshmen who were being trained and taught and talked about how we do things on the floor.
00:21:29.180 And the first things that I recall him saying was that he, he had a strong prayer life and that he was praying for everybody.
00:21:37.100 And so far, what I've seen from his day one activities is not someone who is a man of faith, not a Christian, but someone who wants to divide the commonwealth.
00:21:49.620 Someone wants that, wants to cause division on this, this commonwealth.
00:21:53.540 I know the truth hurts.
00:21:54.800 I don't want to make you cry like saying critical race theory, because I know it hurts your feelings.
00:21:58.560 So that's something to keep in mind when you hear people talk about unity and how we're going to establish and form some sense of unity in our country.
00:22:09.760 Can we reach across the aisle?
00:22:11.680 Can we all be, why can't we all just be friends again?
00:22:15.120 Well, keep in mind that video, where as far as that guy is concerned as a Democrat, he doesn't even want you praying for him.
00:22:22.080 Your prayers are worthless.
00:22:23.420 I'm sure he claims to be a Christian too, but your, your prayers are worthless to him.
00:22:29.880 If he disagrees with you, that's how much he hates you, that he doesn't even want you to pray for him.
00:22:38.360 Is it possible to have any kind of unity with people like that?
00:22:41.040 I don't see it.
00:22:44.660 When they, when their hatred for you goes down that deep, where can you go from there?
00:22:52.860 What kind of common ground can you establish?
00:22:55.820 There's no respect.
00:22:58.700 You know, in order to have unity, I think there are a couple of things that you have to, a couple of prerequisites.
00:23:04.140 One is that you have to, as I always say, you have to, you have to unite around something.
00:23:08.300 There has to be some kind of uniting principle.
00:23:11.080 You can't just be unity for the sake of unity.
00:23:13.020 So there has to be some share, something that you share with the people that you're uniting with.
00:23:18.440 And then the other thing that you need is some kind of respect.
00:23:23.080 There has to be, that's, that's one of the things that you have to share is respect for one another.
00:23:28.720 That's not respect.
00:23:29.600 And it's not just one way.
00:23:31.860 I'm not pretending to be the, uh, the hurt party here.
00:23:36.080 I, I would say, well, I don't respect him either.
00:23:39.840 So the feeling is mutual.
00:23:41.200 I guess that's what we share.
00:23:43.980 We share our, we have a mutual disregard and disrespect for each other.
00:23:48.340 Maybe that's how we can establish our unity.
00:23:50.780 All right.
00:23:51.560 Let's, uh, let's just check in quickly with Joe Biden.
00:23:54.260 Um, we have this clip, maybe see if you can make heads or tails of what he's saying.
00:23:57.280 This is always fun.
00:23:58.600 It's kind of a fun riddle that that's, that's one.
00:24:01.440 It's a one good thing that Joe Biden provides us with is, uh, you know, you know, we can always,
00:24:05.760 it's kind of a fun game to try to figure out what the hell he's even trying to say.
00:24:08.980 So listen to this.
00:24:11.200 But, uh, um, I might point out here, uh, when I went to Dearborn driving that, uh, you know, uh, was up there.
00:24:21.960 I don't know, man.
00:24:23.840 It, uh, I think the press thought I was crazy.
00:24:27.160 I enjoyed it so much going up and, uh, your new EV factory in, uh, in that, uh, that Hummer.
00:24:37.740 All right.
00:24:38.460 Good, good point, grandpa.
00:24:40.820 Thank you.
00:24:41.620 Go back to bed now.
00:24:43.280 All right.
00:24:43.740 So, uh, media matters are, are friends once again.
00:24:47.460 Uh, they're on the case.
00:24:49.200 They're on my case.
00:24:50.180 They're on the Daily Wire's case.
00:24:51.400 Uh, here's the headline.
00:24:52.640 And this is a long, we can't even read the whole thing, but, um, written by Ari Drennan,
00:24:57.840 research contributions from Carly Evans.
00:24:59.940 So they got a team of researchers together for this thing.
00:25:02.920 And the headline is, on Facebook, a Dr. Phil episode about non-binary identity becomes a bonanza for right-wing hate.
00:25:11.580 And then it continues.
00:25:14.940 I feel like we need some sad piano music in the background for this.
00:25:17.940 Right-wing figures, particularly from the Daily Wire, weaponized a January 19th Dr. Phil episode to spread anti-trans hatred and drive Facebook engagement on their posts.
00:25:28.620 The episode posited non-binary identities as up for debate and featured non-binary people and allies alongside anti-trans parents and the Daily Wire's Matt Walsh.
00:25:40.500 Media Matters examined our data set of news and politics pages on Facebook and found that among these, right-leaning pages were nearly alone in reacting to the episode.
00:25:49.180 Let's stop there for a second.
00:25:50.440 Of course, right?
00:25:53.020 Why is that, Media Matters?
00:25:54.700 Why do you think?
00:25:56.480 It was a Dr. Phil episode.
00:25:58.660 It's about a subject that obviously interests a lot of people.
00:26:03.880 People on the left especially.
00:26:05.480 Very interested in the topic of gender.
00:26:08.060 And yet with this episode, according to you, because you've looked into this, only or almost only right-wing pages even acknowledge that it happened.
00:26:19.000 Why is that?
00:26:22.200 Right-wing pages were nearly alone in reacting to the episode, driving more than 3.3 million views.
00:26:27.740 To one selectively edited video in which Walsh mocked the non-binary panelists, repeatedly asked them to define womanhood.
00:26:35.220 That counts as mockery now, I guess.
00:26:37.480 Just asking a simple question.
00:26:39.880 Asking a question which is really, what do you mean?
00:26:43.080 Is mockery.
00:26:44.360 When somebody says something to you and you don't understand what they mean, so you say, what do you mean by that?
00:26:49.440 Stop mocking me!
00:26:50.540 No, I mean, maybe I would mock you.
00:26:54.360 I mean, I wouldn't put it past me to mock you.
00:26:56.500 But first I have to even understand what the hell you're talking about in order to mock it.
00:27:00.260 We haven't gotten past square one here.
00:27:04.820 And then Walsh accused them of trying to appropriate womanhood and turn it into basically a costume that can be worn.
00:27:10.360 I did say that.
00:27:12.120 And then they get into the nitty-gritty here.
00:27:14.000 I mean, they've really looked into this.
00:27:15.020 They've got bar graphs and everything here with all of the interactions with this video.
00:27:20.420 They're very upset that anybody saw this or interacted with the video.
00:27:22.940 So, it says, from January 17th through the 24th, right-leaning Facebook pages related to news and politics posted about the Dr. Phil episode far more often and earned vastly more total interactions than either non-aligned or left-leaning pages.
00:27:38.200 And then it gives the actual full interactions number, interaction numbers, and it's all pretty good.
00:27:43.260 So, this is great traffic.
00:27:44.420 I'm pretty proud of that.
00:27:46.980 I actually didn't even know that the video did this well on Facebook.
00:27:50.820 So, this is all good news for me.
00:27:51.980 Both Shapiro and Walsh shared a video titled, Leftist Traumatized After Meeting Me, in which Walsh mocked the non-binary guests of the episode for sharing that they had experienced nightmares and depression as a result of their appearance on the show.
00:28:05.600 And then it continues from there.
00:28:08.560 And this thing just goes on.
00:28:09.860 It goes into their methodology.
00:28:12.460 Using CrowdTangle, Media Matters compiled a list of 1,773 Facebook pages that frequently posted about U.S. politics from January 1st to August 25th.
00:28:21.220 And, uh, blah, okay.
00:28:23.080 They're very, now, what's the point of all this?
00:28:25.000 Why are they, why are they doing all this?
00:28:26.920 Um, well, it's not so subtle at all, of course.
00:28:31.500 This is them sending a message to Facebook, like, why, hey, you're supposed to censor this.
00:28:37.020 You're not supposed to allow this content out there.
00:28:40.100 It's a, it's a scandal, according to Media Matters, that people on Facebook were allowed to see this video.
00:28:45.680 And that tells you everything that you need to know.
00:28:50.220 I mean, through, through all of the reaction to that Dr. Phil episode, you notice what, what, what the left has not done.
00:28:57.780 They have not tried to explain why I'm wrong.
00:29:02.980 I mean, none of them have.
00:29:06.760 There has not been that I have seen one single article written or YouTube video posted or even tweet that says, oh, you're wrong about what you said, Matt, and here's why.
00:29:20.200 Not even attempting to, because they know they can't explain why I'm wrong.
00:29:26.460 And they also know, here's the real reason why the left is not, even as Media Matters says, they're not engaging with this video.
00:29:32.960 They just want it to go away.
00:29:35.460 The real reason is that they know if they, if they try to engage with it, the first thing they're going to have to do is define what a woman is.
00:29:43.080 If there's, if they allow for, if they engage me in any kind of debate about this, if they try to address it at all, that's the first question they're going to have to answer is what is a woman?
00:29:54.720 And they cannot answer it.
00:29:55.960 And they know they can't.
00:30:00.100 Tells you everything you need to know.
00:30:04.560 They're not even trying to claim that they won the argument.
00:30:06.780 They don't want to have the argument.
00:30:07.960 They don't want you to see it.
00:30:10.780 That's the response to this.
00:30:13.080 That's how you know you're really on the right path.
00:30:17.600 When you say something that's, they're not even going to kind of try to shout you down.
00:30:22.700 They just, they don't want anyone to hear that you said it.
00:30:27.580 All right.
00:30:28.080 This is interesting.
00:30:29.380 And I've seen a number of headlines about this.
00:30:31.620 This one in the Wall Street Journal by Ellen Gamerman is the author.
00:30:36.540 And the headline is Bradley Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch, and the golden age of nude men.
00:30:41.980 If you want to hear more about this subject, I'll read a little bit for you.
00:30:46.100 It says, male, and there's a point that I'm going to make, and we'll get to it in a second.
00:30:50.860 There's a point, you know, so to speak.
00:30:53.940 Male full frontal nudity, once the stuff of arthouse films, is going mainstream.
00:30:58.620 Bradley Cooper, Benedict Cumberbatch are trouser free in Oscar contenders, and Sebastian Stan bears it all in a coming Hulu miniseries.
00:31:05.560 The sight of naked male stars can shock in ways that female nudity no longer does, making for the kind of edginess that Hollywood loves.
00:31:14.240 And then it goes, apparently this is a big trend now.
00:31:16.820 There's a lot of different movies where the men are showing off their penises.
00:31:20.480 And then it says,
00:31:21.000 Okay, so this is what's interesting, or least informative.
00:31:49.360 You know, the article talks about how this balances the scales of sexism, and it addresses the legacy of sexism.
00:31:59.460 That's much of what the article focuses on, by having men get naked also.
00:32:04.480 So, you know, at the beginning of the Me Too movement, we heard a lot of complaints about, in fact, often quite valid complaints about how women are objectified by Hollywood.
00:32:19.380 And how their bodies are treated with, you know, like tools, treated without any respect.
00:32:25.020 Totally valid complaints.
00:32:29.620 So then, how is Hollywood addressing this complaint about the objectification of women?
00:32:37.300 Have they decided to stop objectifying women?
00:32:40.960 No, instead, the way to balance it out is just to objectify men also.
00:32:46.360 And a lot of the critics and media and so forth, they're happy with that.
00:32:53.220 That's a solution they're happy with.
00:32:55.080 Which only proves that they never had a problem with objectification per se.
00:32:59.360 That was never really their issue.
00:33:02.800 Their problem is just that it wasn't happening to both parties.
00:33:07.040 So they don't really have a problem with one group being mistreated.
00:33:10.080 It's just that if they're mistreated, they want everyone to be mistreated in the same way.
00:33:16.160 They want everyone to be mistreated equally.
00:33:19.000 Nothing wrong with degrading people and dehumanizing them.
00:33:22.020 Just do it to everybody.
00:33:25.380 It's no surprise that this is the solution.
00:33:27.380 Because in order to really launch any sort of critique of the objectification of the female body, or of the male body,
00:33:37.500 in order to actually criticize that, you have to start talking about things like dignity.
00:33:44.420 The dignity of the human person.
00:33:46.280 The value of the human person.
00:33:48.360 And that's a conversation that they don't want to have on the left and they really can't have.
00:33:53.080 They don't have the language for that.
00:33:54.180 They don't have the philosophical kind of foundation for that.
00:33:59.220 So this is the solution.
00:34:01.700 You don't like it when women have to take their clothes off.
00:34:03.660 Well, I've just had the men take their clothes off too.
00:34:05.760 Problem solved.
00:34:08.040 All right, let's get now to the comment section.
00:34:10.080 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.
00:34:15.420 We're the Sweet Baby Gang.
00:34:19.860 If you want to leave a video comment, submit a video comment.
00:34:22.140 You can go to dailywire.com slash sweetbabycomments.
00:34:24.940 And let's check out our first one.
00:34:27.300 Hola, Dulce Papa Walsh.
00:34:29.380 I, like many other SBG fans, are very grateful for the 55 minutes of inspired wisdom and counsel we receive from our pre-ordaining cult leader.
00:34:36.840 And we understand after the show, you're probably busy pushing shopping carts, sledding, or planning the next panda assassination.
00:34:44.460 But when are we going to get a Matt Walsh bonus hour?
00:34:47.580 SBG for life.
00:34:48.880 A Matt Walsh bonus hour?
00:34:50.340 So, like, doing the show, well, I don't even know what you mean by that.
00:34:53.740 Doing the show again?
00:34:55.740 Or, you know what that is?
00:34:56.960 That's more work for me.
00:34:59.560 So, why do you think I do this for a living?
00:35:02.480 Because I don't want to have to work hard.
00:35:04.420 So, now you're trying to put more on my plate.
00:35:08.860 Tempted to ban you from the show for that.
00:35:11.780 All right, let's watch the next one.
00:35:13.140 Matt, good evening.
00:35:15.740 Watching tonight's, or today's show, I watch it at night.
00:35:21.020 I literally did a spit take.
00:35:24.740 I was drinking a sip of beer, watching your show.
00:35:28.180 And Peter Dinklage says, and I quote,
00:35:31.840 Have I not done enough from my soapbox?
00:35:38.160 Perhaps I'm not loud enough.
00:35:40.200 Now, this might be just me.
00:35:44.340 But my first thought was, well, maybe two soapboxes stacked on...
00:35:51.840 That's number one.
00:35:54.240 And number two, I don't think it's the volume of your voice.
00:35:59.340 I don't think it's that people perhaps maybe can't hear you.
00:36:06.920 Maybe they can't see you over the podium.
00:36:10.420 SGB.
00:36:11.560 How dare you?
00:36:13.500 How did that video make it through?
00:36:15.860 I'm offended by it.
00:36:18.400 It's not something to joke about.
00:36:19.600 Peter Dinklage is a great thespian, a great actor.
00:36:23.860 And, you know, jokes like that, they really sell them short, I think.
00:36:27.680 How dare you, sir?
00:36:29.800 Let's go to some of the written comments.
00:36:31.500 This is from EnergyJTW.
00:36:33.920 Says, my coworker, a 55-year-old shaved head welder with a large truck,
00:36:37.900 went on a date yesterday and told me about it.
00:36:39.980 She immediately asked about his opinion of Trump and cursed him,
00:36:42.640 ruining the date when he said he's a nut but had good policy.
00:36:46.140 She said, Lord, where can I find a good, older, liberal man?
00:36:48.900 And his response, focus on the men in a Prius with a man bun,
00:36:52.120 then paid the bill and left early.
00:36:54.360 My only problem with that is that he paid the bill,
00:36:56.360 because she apparently is a feminist, liberal woman,
00:37:00.060 and so she should want to, she don't need no man,
00:37:04.180 and she should want to pay the bill herself.
00:37:05.920 Really, and pay your half of it as well, to show how empowered she is.
00:37:09.100 So I would have paid without, I would have left without paying the bill at all,
00:37:12.760 even my portion of it, for her own sake,
00:37:14.860 to respect her as a good, liberal, feminist woman.
00:37:17.940 But other than that, it's the right, that's the right move, of course.
00:37:21.220 And this is also why people say that, you know, on a first date,
00:37:25.400 don't talk about things like politics and religion.
00:37:27.560 They also say that, just in general, this is not polite conversation to talk to people about,
00:37:31.780 and you have to really know someone well, I guess,
00:37:33.580 before you discuss those things.
00:37:35.480 I very much disagree with that, because first of all,
00:37:38.940 I mean, the worst thing that can happen on a date, on a first date,
00:37:41.880 is that there's nothing to talk about, right?
00:37:44.520 And you're sitting there, staring at the other person, there's nothing to say.
00:37:47.700 That's the most awkward thing.
00:37:49.860 And the problem is that if you rule out politics, religion, those sorts of topics,
00:37:54.280 what else is there to talk about?
00:37:56.280 You've taken the best fodder for conversation,
00:38:00.740 you've taken it out of the equation, off the table, so to speak.
00:38:04.780 And now, what are you going to do?
00:38:06.000 Now you're just going to sit there staring at each other.
00:38:07.160 I don't know what else to talk about other than these kinds of things.
00:38:10.920 And the other advantage is, I think,
00:38:13.700 it should be one of the first things you bring up
00:38:15.320 are these kinds of issues,
00:38:18.740 because it's going to tell you what you,
00:38:21.620 it's going to tell you about this person's values.
00:38:25.160 It's going to tell you whether you could stand to be in this room with the other,
00:38:29.120 in a room with the other person for an extended period of time,
00:38:31.080 which is good information to have, I think.
00:38:36.420 Let's see.
00:38:38.120 Tina says,
00:38:38.760 Matt's dating advice has seriously saved my love life.
00:38:41.460 I finally found a masculine conservative man
00:38:43.320 who believes in a marriage and family as much as I do.
00:38:46.300 I'd be single for the rest of my life
00:38:47.400 if it weren't for the love gurus of the Daily Wire.
00:38:49.840 Love gurus, I like that.
00:38:51.720 It's another,
00:38:53.260 I'll add that to my preferred adjectives, I suppose.
00:38:55.380 Maximilian M.K. Gill says,
00:38:59.260 a good rule of thumb is not to apologize to anyone
00:39:01.500 unless you have made a mistake.
00:39:03.700 Right, but even then,
00:39:05.600 you're apologizing to that person specifically
00:39:09.060 and not in front of an audience.
00:39:10.860 So I'm accused sometimes of being anti-apology in general,
00:39:14.240 where I'm sitting here saying never apologize to anyone.
00:39:16.560 Of course you apologize to people if you wrong them in some way,
00:39:19.480 but you apologize to the wronged party personally,
00:39:26.080 not in front of the entire world.
00:39:30.240 Sue says,
00:39:31.020 Ben Shapiro's dating advice,
00:39:32.440 go to church and you'll find someone with your own values.
00:39:35.960 And several comments along those lines
00:39:38.260 as we've talked about dating and marriage
00:39:39.640 over the last few days.
00:39:40.740 And that is good advice.
00:39:41.620 I mean, that's if you want to find someone in real life
00:39:43.400 who shares your values,
00:39:44.400 good place to start is church.
00:39:45.680 One of the problems though is,
00:39:47.380 and this depends a lot on where you live
00:39:49.220 and what kind of church you go to.
00:39:50.840 But sadly, a lot of the churches these days,
00:39:54.320 especially post COVID,
00:39:56.220 when all the churches shut down
00:39:57.560 and then they opened up again and said,
00:39:59.560 because they shut down for a year or whatever
00:40:01.280 or several months, depending on where you live.
00:40:03.160 And they said,
00:40:03.800 oh, you don't really need us that much.
00:40:05.520 So we're going to shut down.
00:40:06.580 Then they opened up again and said,
00:40:07.800 nevermind, you do need us.
00:40:09.680 And a lot of people in the interim said,
00:40:11.280 well, if you think we don't need you,
00:40:12.340 we're not coming back.
00:40:13.060 And so there are even fewer people at church now, sadly.
00:40:15.740 And so that is going to,
00:40:20.700 fewer fish in that particular sea.
00:40:23.560 And then also at many churches,
00:40:26.060 the age range of the average congregant
00:40:30.720 is quite a bit older than the average single person.
00:40:34.420 And that's a big problem
00:40:35.600 for single people and for the church.
00:40:39.760 Let's see, one more.
00:40:41.280 B.O. Kiddo says,
00:40:44.980 dating is awesome right now.
00:40:47.140 All the sex you want
00:40:48.180 and something better and younger
00:40:49.420 is just around the corner.
00:40:50.920 But people are getting married and they divorce.
00:40:52.600 It's almost like marriage is unnatural.
00:40:54.460 Perhaps instead of pushing people
00:40:55.660 to something that is a negative experience
00:40:57.220 for everybody involved,
00:40:58.720 we should just get rid of marriage.
00:41:01.740 Who are you trying to fool?
00:41:03.120 Who are you trying to convince?
00:41:03.960 I think you're trying to convince yourself.
00:41:06.260 This is awesome.
00:41:07.180 I never form any meaningful bond
00:41:09.220 with any human being.
00:41:10.160 and just move on to the next one.
00:41:13.700 There's always something young,
00:41:15.140 a thing.
00:41:17.220 Notice how you say,
00:41:18.100 not someone younger even,
00:41:20.420 but something.
00:41:21.820 Treating people like things,
00:41:23.240 never forming any real bonds,
00:41:25.300 never having any real commitment,
00:41:26.700 never having the lasting companionship
00:41:29.400 of a woman who I really love and respect.
00:41:32.480 It's wonderful.
00:41:33.220 I love it.
00:41:33.960 No, you don't.
00:41:35.220 Stop pretending.
00:41:36.540 You don't.
00:41:38.140 Because no human can.
00:41:39.440 Because I assume you are a human being,
00:41:43.820 right?
00:41:44.900 Typing this to me.
00:41:46.700 There are basic human needs
00:41:48.400 that we all have.
00:41:50.540 It's like if you were starving to death
00:41:52.320 in the desert
00:41:52.860 and you tried to convince me
00:41:54.220 that,
00:41:55.000 oh, this is great.
00:41:55.440 Who needs food?
00:41:57.200 Well, you do.
00:41:58.460 You need it.
00:41:59.000 And food is a basic human need.
00:42:04.140 Water, shelter, companionship, love.
00:42:08.080 These are actual human needs.
00:42:11.560 And you cannot have a real,
00:42:14.020 fulfilling human life without them.
00:42:16.340 You cannot have joy without them.
00:42:17.840 You just can't.
00:42:18.580 It doesn't exist.
00:42:19.200 It's like a mathematical impossibility.
00:42:22.940 So that's how I know
00:42:23.900 that you are,
00:42:25.780 you are crying over your keyboard
00:42:28.900 as you type that.
00:42:29.860 You are the literal manifestation
00:42:31.180 of that meme
00:42:32.020 with the person with the happy mask
00:42:34.340 and they're crying behind it.
00:42:35.460 That's you.
00:42:37.000 And also,
00:42:37.660 this whole thing about,
00:42:38.580 oh, marriage is unnatural.
00:42:39.660 That's why people get divorced.
00:42:40.500 Just because you suck at it,
00:42:44.360 right?
00:42:44.860 Just because you're too weak to do it,
00:42:47.380 just because you're too much
00:42:49.000 of a weak nothing of a man
00:42:50.820 to remain loyal to a woman
00:42:52.460 and to care for a family,
00:42:57.040 you know,
00:42:57.200 just because you're not a real man,
00:42:58.360 don't put that on the rest of us.
00:43:01.060 There have been throughout human history
00:43:02.900 like literally billions of marriages
00:43:04.880 that have worked.
00:43:08.380 And just because you can't do it
00:43:10.020 doesn't mean the rest of us can.
00:43:12.740 But thanks for watching the show.

00:43:53.180 it evens out as you jog
00:43:54.860 the weight.
00:43:55.740 This guy looked at me

00:43:57.280 it's true.
00:43:57.720 It is true.
00:43:58.800 I'm joking,
00:43:59.680 but you're serious.
00:44:00.540 This guy really does do it.

00:45:13.560 as the beloved author
00:45:14.480 of the best-selling
00:45:15.280 children's LGBTQ plus book,
00:45:17.440 Johnny the Walrus,
00:45:18.180 I am now a very important
00:45:19.060 voice in the
00:45:19.600 transgender conversation.
00:45:21.040 That's why I was
00:45:21.580 invited to Dr. Phil
00:45:22.400 to discuss these
00:45:23.180 most important issues
00:45:24.360 with experts
00:45:25.080 who could not even
00:45:26.120 tell me what a woman was
00:45:27.120 if you saw the video.
00:45:28.120 If you haven't seen it yet,
00:45:29.280 I highly recommend
00:45:29.900 you check it out.
00:45:30.520 And even more importantly,
00:45:31.400 if you haven't picked up
00:45:32.020 a copy of my best-selling
00:45:33.400 LGBT children's book,
00:45:35.380 you should do so immediately.
00:45:36.600 It sold out in the first
00:45:37.380 48 hours when it was released.
00:45:39.100 But don't worry,
00:45:39.800 more copies are on the way.
00:45:40.960 Reserve your copy
00:45:42.240 of Johnny the Walrus
00:45:43.060 now on Amazon.
00:45:44.500 Now let's get to
00:45:45.120 our daily cancellation.
00:45:50.540 Good news.
00:45:51.420 Paris Hilton
00:45:51.920 is back on the scene.
00:45:53.220 She reemerges, in fact,
00:45:54.420 at the same time
00:45:55.000 as Lena Dunham,
00:45:56.160 two people who are
00:45:56.960 much closer in IQ
00:45:58.000 than they are
00:45:58.600 in physical appearance.
00:45:59.780 With these two
00:46:00.440 grabbing headlines again,
00:46:01.200 all we need is Amy Schumer
00:46:02.260 to come out of hiding
00:46:03.520 and the three most
00:46:04.300 annoying women
00:46:05.060 of the last 25 years
00:46:06.040 will be sharing the spotlight
00:46:07.120 at the same time.
00:46:08.780 The fourth horse
00:46:09.500 of the apocalypse
00:46:10.060 will finally be upon us
00:46:11.280 and we can get on
00:46:12.500 with Armageddon already.
00:46:14.160 But Hilton is not
00:46:14.960 focused on her past.
00:46:16.080 She is very much
00:46:16.620 a woman of the present
00:46:17.500 and of the future.
00:46:18.980 So she appeared
00:46:19.660 on The Tonight Show
00:46:20.180 this week to promote
00:46:20.900 whatever the hell
00:46:21.380 she's promoting
00:46:21.860 and also to have
00:46:22.600 a conversation
00:46:23.240 that our ancestors
00:46:24.480 would have found
00:46:25.040 utterly impenetrable
00:46:26.120 and mystifying.
00:46:27.360 Even most people
00:46:28.000 alive on Earth today
00:46:28.840 will probably have
00:46:29.740 that reaction.
00:46:30.260 Listen to Hilton
00:46:31.700 and Fallon
00:46:32.360 discuss NFTs.
00:46:34.980 I jumped in.
00:46:36.240 I know, I heard.
00:46:37.200 I'm so happy
00:46:37.640 I taught you
00:46:38.160 what they were.
00:46:38.760 You did.
00:46:39.180 You taught me
00:46:39.660 what's up
00:46:40.060 and then I bought
00:46:40.700 an ape.
00:46:41.600 I got an ape too
00:46:42.480 because I saw you
00:46:43.460 on the show
00:46:43.920 with Beeple
00:46:44.380 and you said
00:46:44.780 you got a moon pay
00:46:45.500 so I went
00:46:46.220 and I copied you
00:46:47.100 and did the same thing.
00:46:48.020 You did?
00:46:48.520 Mm-hmm.
00:46:49.020 This is your ape
00:46:50.660 when we debuted.
00:46:51.580 It's really cool.
00:46:53.100 Like the hat,
00:46:53.860 the shades.
00:46:55.080 Now why,
00:46:56.100 how did you pick,
00:46:57.400 because you can pick
00:46:58.400 your ape?
00:46:59.840 Yes, I was going
00:47:00.720 through a lot of them
00:47:01.580 and I was like
00:47:01.960 I want something
00:47:02.720 that like kind of
00:47:03.300 reminds me of me
00:47:04.240 but this one,
00:47:07.140 it does.
00:47:08.620 I think we made
00:47:09.780 like another version
00:47:10.780 of it where he
00:47:11.680 takes the hat off
00:47:12.860 and blonde hair
00:47:13.500 comes out.
00:47:14.080 Yeah, because you can
00:47:15.700 do whatever you want.
00:47:16.820 Mm-hmm, animated version.
00:47:18.120 We're part of the same
00:47:18.940 community.
00:47:20.460 We're both apes.
00:47:21.320 I love it.
00:47:21.840 This is my ape.
00:47:23.260 This is yours.
00:47:24.540 Yours is so cool.
00:47:25.620 I love the red heart
00:47:26.440 sunglasses.
00:47:27.400 I love the captain hat.
00:47:28.420 It reminded me of me
00:47:29.640 a little bit
00:47:30.100 because I wear striped shirts.
00:47:32.620 I've worn these heart
00:47:33.920 sunglasses
00:47:34.400 because my daughters,
00:47:35.680 just as a joke,
00:47:36.540 they have them
00:47:37.100 and as a joke
00:47:37.840 I put them on
00:47:38.680 so I've done this
00:47:39.740 and I love yacht rock
00:47:41.060 and being breezy
00:47:42.200 so I'm like, yeah.
00:47:43.740 That kind of,
00:47:44.320 and I like the blue.
00:47:45.360 Mm-hmm.
00:47:45.960 Dude, look at us.
00:47:47.000 They look like
00:47:47.420 they could be friends.
00:47:48.140 They're buddies.
00:47:51.060 You know,
00:47:55.380 I can't quite explain it
00:47:56.280 but something about
00:47:56.920 that 77 second clip
00:47:58.700 sends me spiraling
00:48:00.200 into despair
00:48:01.260 and Paris Hilton
00:48:02.800 has always had
00:48:03.560 that effect on me,
00:48:04.440 honestly,
00:48:04.800 but this is something
00:48:05.460 even worse.
00:48:06.500 As you can see
00:48:07.000 in the clip,
00:48:07.900 they're showing off
00:48:08.460 their NFTs
00:48:09.100 which are digital images
00:48:10.200 of cartoon monkeys
00:48:11.320 in hats.
00:48:12.580 And they both spent
00:48:13.660 hundreds of thousands
00:48:14.640 of dollars on them.
00:48:16.300 Not even for the card
00:48:17.680 that Fallon is showing off
00:48:18.640 but for the digital
00:48:19.480 representation
00:48:20.120 of those cards.
00:48:21.900 The audience,
00:48:22.400 of course,
00:48:22.640 is perplexed
00:48:23.340 and doesn't know
00:48:23.720 how to react.
00:48:25.080 Should we applaud
00:48:25.780 the two millionaires
00:48:26.520 who paid for a monkey picture
00:48:27.700 that cost more than my house?
00:48:29.620 Should we laugh?
00:48:30.960 Let's do both.
00:48:31.680 That seems safest.
00:48:32.380 Let's laugh and applaud
00:48:33.540 the obscene decadence
00:48:35.060 and emptiness
00:48:35.580 of our culture.
00:48:37.140 For those who are still
00:48:38.140 perhaps confused
00:48:38.780 about NFTs,
00:48:39.780 all you have to know
00:48:40.720 is that they are
00:48:41.640 as stupid as they seem.
00:48:43.320 They are what you thought
00:48:44.320 they were.
00:48:44.780 To paraphrase Dennis Green,
00:48:45.980 may he rest in peace.
00:48:47.520 Your confusion probably
00:48:48.480 stems from your assumption
00:48:49.440 that there must be
00:48:50.680 more to this fad.
00:48:52.120 There must be something
00:48:52.760 you're missing.
00:48:53.440 There's no way
00:48:54.160 that it's as idiotic
00:48:55.460 as it appears to be.
00:48:56.880 I mean,
00:48:57.220 it looks like people
00:48:58.520 are spending thousands
00:48:59.420 of dollars
00:48:59.940 buying digital pet rocks
00:49:01.500 that have absolutely
00:49:02.840 no inherent worth,
00:49:04.400 use,
00:49:04.720 or purpose
00:49:05.280 and whose monetary value
00:49:06.660 is based entirely
00:49:07.420 on a sort of collective mania.
00:49:09.480 That can't really be it,
00:49:10.860 you think.
00:49:11.780 But no,
00:49:12.380 you were right the first time.
00:49:13.240 It is that.
00:49:14.240 These are like beanie babies
00:49:15.480 or Pez dispensers,
00:49:16.760 but worse because
00:49:17.620 adults are collecting them
00:49:18.860 and also,
00:49:19.900 the things don't even exist.
00:49:22.420 The Pez dispenser
00:49:23.420 at least dispenses Pez.
00:49:25.360 What does the monkey picture do?
00:49:27.240 You can sit and stare at it
00:49:28.440 and reflect on the meaninglessness
00:49:29.700 of your life,
00:49:30.660 but that's about the only function
00:49:32.060 they serve.
00:49:33.320 NFTs are artificial.
00:49:35.280 Their value is artificial.
00:49:37.300 Now,
00:49:37.500 some NFT apologists
00:49:38.500 will say that the same
00:49:39.460 is true of physical art.
00:49:41.180 I mean,
00:49:41.420 what's the difference
00:49:42.020 between owning
00:49:42.580 a digital representation
00:49:43.680 of a cartoon monkey
00:49:45.300 in a hat
00:49:45.900 and owning,
00:49:47.480 say,
00:49:48.140 the Mona Lisa?
00:49:50.340 Well,
00:49:50.820 first of all,
00:49:51.420 you're a moron.
00:49:52.580 Second,
00:49:53.260 the Mona Lisa
00:49:53.760 is a physical painting,
00:49:55.040 a physical object
00:49:56.220 created by the hand
00:49:57.360 of an all-time master
00:49:58.460 and it exists
00:49:59.120 in the physical world
00:50:00.140 where there is just the one.
00:50:02.260 It has 500 years of history.
00:50:03.880 It took years to make.
00:50:05.280 It's not a digital phantasm
00:50:06.980 which is not only ugly
00:50:08.540 and dumb looking
00:50:09.320 but which can be obtained
00:50:10.280 by millions of people
00:50:11.480 all at once.
00:50:12.780 All you need to do
00:50:13.600 is take a screenshot
00:50:14.540 of the monkey
00:50:15.260 and you own it
00:50:16.220 as much as Paris Hilton does.
00:50:17.440 I took a screenshot of that
00:50:18.900 and now I have it too.
00:50:20.820 It's mine now.
00:50:22.480 I'm the NFT owner now,
00:50:23.860 Paris Hilton.
00:50:25.800 Now,
00:50:26.220 you may not have
00:50:26.760 the original code
00:50:27.700 or whatever.
00:50:28.180 That's what the NFT,
00:50:28.860 oh,
00:50:29.160 it's the original code
00:50:30.520 and that's what makes,
00:50:31.060 who cares?
00:50:32.060 It's exactly the same thing.
00:50:33.880 There's no inherent difference
00:50:35.160 between your screenshot
00:50:36.320 and her original.
00:50:38.540 This, by the way,
00:50:39.380 is a problem
00:50:39.860 that NFT merchants
00:50:41.000 have run into.
00:50:41.780 A few months ago,
00:50:42.880 the guy who made
00:50:43.580 that YouTube video
00:50:44.440 10 years ago
00:50:45.120 called Annoying Orange
00:50:46.260 which features an orange
00:50:47.860 talking and being annoying
00:50:48.920 tried to sell
00:50:50.520 the original video
00:50:51.620 quote-unquote
00:50:52.080 as an NFT
00:50:52.700 but then a bunch of people
00:50:54.060 on the internet
00:50:54.460 simply stole it
00:50:55.600 because anything
00:50:56.500 can be stolen
00:50:57.120 on the internet
00:50:57.620 with ease
00:50:58.240 and the plan
00:50:59.320 fell apart
00:50:59.780 and so now
00:51:00.640 he just instead
00:51:01.260 released it again.
00:51:02.060 He re-released
00:51:02.780 the YouTube video
00:51:03.620 on YouTube again.
00:51:05.720 Now,
00:51:06.320 you might say
00:51:06.840 that physical money
00:51:07.680 is also artificial
00:51:08.740 in the sense
00:51:09.400 that it's produced
00:51:10.120 and its value
00:51:11.100 is in many ways
00:51:11.780 subjective.
00:51:12.480 You're on perhaps
00:51:13.200 more solid ground
00:51:14.040 with that comparison
00:51:14.740 but the problem
00:51:15.300 is that NFTs
00:51:15.940 take all of the worst
00:51:17.020 aspects
00:51:17.600 of artificial fiat currency
00:51:19.380 and amplify them.
00:51:21.320 It seems to issue
00:51:22.340 a challenge
00:51:22.940 to physical cash
00:51:23.800 saying,
00:51:24.440 oh,
00:51:24.520 you think you're
00:51:25.000 inherently worthless
00:51:25.680 and artificial?
00:51:26.260 Well,
00:51:26.400 check this out.
00:51:28.500 NFTs are the worst
00:51:29.500 kind of fiat currency.
00:51:31.760 Now,
00:51:31.960 we call it
00:51:32.400 fiat currency
00:51:33.000 traditionally
00:51:33.420 because the value
00:51:34.600 of your $20 bill
00:51:35.840 comes from the government's
00:51:37.100 fiat.
00:51:37.600 It's declaration
00:51:38.420 that the thing
00:51:39.720 is worth exactly
00:51:40.420 that amount.
00:51:41.920 Now,
00:51:42.160 there are significant
00:51:42.740 problems with that system
00:51:43.960 but it's not as bad
00:51:45.020 as the monkey cartoon
00:51:45.980 which has value
00:51:47.180 based on Paris Hilton's
00:51:48.580 fiat.
00:51:49.940 Rich,
00:51:50.460 stupid people
00:51:51.140 have declared
00:51:51.700 that it has value
00:51:52.820 and it will retain
00:51:54.640 that value
00:51:55.260 as long as
00:51:56.060 the rich,
00:51:56.520 stupid people
00:51:56.980 remain interested
00:51:57.780 and as long as
00:51:58.800 enough non-rich,
00:52:00.180 stupid people
00:52:00.640 continue to care.
00:52:02.700 Not exactly the basis
00:52:03.780 for a stable
00:52:04.340 monetary system.
00:52:06.300 Yet,
00:52:06.460 this all makes sense
00:52:07.240 in a certain way
00:52:08.000 because we live
00:52:09.480 in an artificial age.
00:52:12.420 Artificiality
00:52:12.860 is our calling card.
00:52:14.280 It is the hallmark
00:52:15.080 of our culture
00:52:15.740 and there is nothing
00:52:16.500 more artificial
00:52:17.120 than an NFT.
00:52:18.920 Well,
00:52:19.200 for now anyway.
00:52:20.300 As we've discussed
00:52:21.100 on this show before,
00:52:22.020 the next horizon
00:52:22.800 is horizon
00:52:23.660 which is what Facebook
00:52:24.620 is calling
00:52:25.100 the metaverse
00:52:25.700 and that is
00:52:26.860 the virtual reality
00:52:27.840 world where,
00:52:29.300 according to Mark
00:52:29.760 Zuckerberg's vision,
00:52:30.740 you can abandon
00:52:31.380 your flesh and blood
00:52:32.160 existence entirely
00:52:32.960 and immerse yourself
00:52:33.860 in cyberspace.
00:52:35.240 This week,
00:52:35.840 a commercial
00:52:36.280 for Facebook's
00:52:37.060 metaverse went viral
00:52:37.940 though the ad is
00:52:38.460 actually from a year
00:52:39.080 or two ago.
00:52:40.140 What you should know
00:52:41.120 is that the actual
00:52:42.300 metaverse
00:52:42.840 as it currently exists
00:52:43.880 looks worse
00:52:45.120 than it does
00:52:45.680 in this old advertisement.
00:52:47.400 So this is the
00:52:48.080 metaverse
00:52:48.460 at its theoretical best
00:52:49.960 and it's still
00:52:51.280 a nightmare.
00:52:52.020 Watch.
00:52:53.980 Beyond our world,
00:52:55.660 there's another world
00:52:57.500 and it's right here
00:52:59.820 on my face.
00:53:02.680 Welcome.
00:53:03.760 This is Horizon.
00:53:05.220 Think of me
00:53:05.640 as your guide
00:53:06.220 slash self-appointed
00:53:07.260 spokes avatar
00:53:08.100 here to show you around.
00:53:09.780 You know,
00:53:10.000 Horizon is filled
00:53:10.740 with possibilities.
00:53:12.000 You can play stuff,
00:53:13.260 make stuff,
00:53:13.880 fly stuff.
00:53:14.360 Whoa.
00:53:15.140 Really love the stache,
00:53:16.240 Stuart.
00:53:17.340 What up, Stuart?
00:53:18.480 Wait,
00:53:18.700 I want a mustache.
00:53:20.800 Horizon isn't about
00:53:21.640 rules or limits
00:53:23.600 or pants
00:53:25.020 or people telling you
00:53:26.820 not to fly an airplane
00:53:27.780 while drinking
00:53:28.280 your fresh ground
00:53:29.140 fair trade
00:53:29.840 French press
00:53:30.460 morning coffee
00:53:31.100 through a curly straw.
00:53:32.120 Isn't that right, Debbie?
00:53:33.260 Mm-hmm.
00:53:35.620 So there it is.
00:53:36.480 I love,
00:53:37.220 even in the ad,
00:53:38.520 how the women
00:53:40.100 who are,
00:53:40.720 you know,
00:53:41.100 in the metaverse,
00:53:42.300 they're with their husbands
00:53:43.500 at home
00:53:44.260 and totally ignoring
00:53:46.040 their family.
00:53:48.700 So they can have
00:53:49.460 this dumb thing
00:53:49.960 on their face.
00:53:51.320 So if you want
00:53:52.100 to block out
00:53:52.820 your immediate
00:53:53.300 physical environment
00:53:54.160 and everybody in it
00:53:55.080 so that you can
00:53:55.600 inhabit the floating
00:53:56.520 severed husk
00:53:57.340 of a Nick Jr.
00:53:58.440 cartoon character
00:53:59.240 and interact with
00:54:00.240 other disembodied beings
00:54:01.360 in a sterile
00:54:02.100 and artificial environment
00:54:03.340 constructed by
00:54:04.000 big tech oligarchs
00:54:05.040 and designed to give
00:54:05.700 them direct access
00:54:06.400 to your brain,
00:54:07.240 then boy are you
00:54:08.100 in luck.
00:54:09.480 I just never realized
00:54:10.720 that our dystopia
00:54:11.980 would look so much
00:54:12.780 like Paw Patrol.
00:54:14.360 What's the point
00:54:15.180 of the metaverse?
00:54:16.200 What are you supposed
00:54:16.980 to do in it?
00:54:17.600 Well,
00:54:18.180 Zuckerberg says
00:54:18.700 that you can have
00:54:19.560 virtual meetings.
00:54:20.980 So if you want
00:54:21.680 to experience
00:54:22.160 all of the worst aspects
00:54:23.480 of Zoom,
00:54:24.200 conference calls,
00:54:24.840 and in-person meetings
00:54:25.860 with none of the benefits
00:54:26.780 of any of them,
00:54:27.740 then this is your solution.
00:54:29.140 You can also shop
00:54:30.160 in the metaverse.
00:54:30.780 We've looked at Walmart.
00:54:31.860 You know,
00:54:32.020 Walmart is now
00:54:32.640 constructing stores
00:54:33.600 in virtual reality
00:54:34.500 so that you can flee
00:54:35.640 from the confines
00:54:36.480 of your mortal frame
00:54:37.400 and experience
00:54:38.040 the unfettered joy
00:54:39.080 of retail shopping.
00:54:40.940 There are so many
00:54:42.820 things you can do
00:54:43.300 in the metaverse.
00:54:44.080 The hope is that
00:54:44.560 eventually you'll do
00:54:45.240 everything in the metaverse.
00:54:46.980 It will be like
00:54:47.820 the Matrix,
00:54:48.380 but a lot less cool.
00:54:50.060 Now,
00:54:50.480 you might think
00:54:51.140 that this will never
00:54:51.860 take off.
00:54:52.640 You know,
00:54:52.780 it looks so bland
00:54:53.720 and dismal
00:54:54.440 and pointless.
00:54:55.480 There's just no way
00:54:56.420 any significant number
00:54:57.420 of people will ever
00:54:58.240 choose to involve
00:54:58.980 themselves in it.
00:55:00.180 And you might be right.
00:55:01.040 I hope you're right.
00:55:02.160 But consider that
00:55:02.820 our ancestors,
00:55:03.620 if you had asked them,
00:55:05.520 would have declared
00:55:06.480 with confidence
00:55:07.120 that nobody in the future
00:55:08.500 would ever choose
00:55:09.320 to sit around
00:55:09.940 on their butts
00:55:10.420 for 13 hours a day
00:55:11.520 staring at images
00:55:12.740 on screens.
00:55:14.480 And yet,
00:55:15.100 here we all are.
00:55:16.380 If you had shown them
00:55:17.340 a cell phone
00:55:17.940 and told them
00:55:18.960 that in the not-too-distant
00:55:19.880 future,
00:55:20.360 people would spend
00:55:20.920 the majority
00:55:21.460 of their days
00:55:22.320 simply staring at it,
00:55:24.320 that they would even
00:55:24.920 stare at it
00:55:25.440 when they're around
00:55:26.040 other people,
00:55:26.840 that they would ignore
00:55:27.480 their children
00:55:28.260 and their spouses
00:55:29.720 to stare at it,
00:55:30.740 that they would ignore
00:55:31.440 the flesh-and-blood humans
00:55:32.980 in favor of the screen,
00:55:34.640 that they would be
00:55:35.140 so committed
00:55:35.700 to staring at it
00:55:36.380 that they would kill
00:55:37.020 themselves because
00:55:37.680 they can't stop
00:55:38.320 staring at it
00:55:38.780 when they drive
00:55:39.240 their cars,
00:55:39.840 that people would
00:55:40.940 literally be walking
00:55:41.720 into walls
00:55:42.360 and off of cliffs
00:55:43.040 because they can't
00:55:43.700 take their eyes
00:55:44.220 off the damn screen,
00:55:45.300 if you had told them
00:55:46.120 all that,
00:55:46.860 they would not
00:55:47.580 have believed you.
00:55:48.940 They would not
00:55:49.620 have seen
00:55:50.100 what could possibly
00:55:50.980 be so appealing
00:55:51.880 about the screen
00:55:52.620 that it would
00:55:53.240 compel us
00:55:53.880 to forsake
00:55:54.660 our physical existence
00:55:55.580 for it.
00:55:57.280 Most of us,
00:55:58.060 though we live this way,
00:55:58.860 still can't explain
00:55:59.820 what's so appealing
00:56:00.420 about it.
00:56:00.860 I have a theory
00:56:02.760 and it's why
00:56:04.200 I believe
00:56:04.760 the metaverse
00:56:05.320 will very much
00:56:06.240 become a thing
00:56:07.120 and soon it will
00:56:07.940 become the thing,
00:56:09.280 the only thing.
00:56:10.880 The reason is that
00:56:12.180 the purpose of all
00:56:13.180 of this artificiality
00:56:14.320 in modern life
00:56:15.000 is to numb us
00:56:16.700 to the realities
00:56:17.460 of human existence
00:56:18.460 because out in the world,
00:56:20.460 in life,
00:56:21.060 there is joy
00:56:22.340 and fear
00:56:22.840 and pain
00:56:23.280 and suffering
00:56:23.800 and love
00:56:24.260 and hate
00:56:24.600 and death
00:56:25.060 and that's too much
00:56:26.500 for the modern man.
00:56:27.280 That last thing,
00:56:28.520 death,
00:56:28.960 you know,
00:56:29.140 is especially
00:56:29.700 too much for him
00:56:30.380 as his reaction
00:56:31.020 to COVID
00:56:31.440 clearly demonstrated.
00:56:32.940 So he buries
00:56:33.740 his head
00:56:34.160 in his screen.
00:56:35.160 It becomes like
00:56:36.100 some kind of
00:56:36.720 existential anesthesia.
00:56:39.340 This is why
00:56:40.080 people flee
00:56:40.740 into the metaverse
00:56:41.520 because it allows
00:56:43.080 them a final escape
00:56:44.260 from any semblance
00:56:45.260 of authentic
00:56:45.840 human existence.
00:56:47.960 So soon
00:56:48.720 we'll all be fake
00:56:49.500 like Paris Hilton
00:56:50.460 with her $200,000
00:56:52.280 monkey picture.
00:56:54.780 Another cheerful
00:56:55.580 thought to ponder
00:56:56.220 and that is why
00:56:57.620 NFTs
00:56:58.240 and the metaverse
00:56:59.280 and Paris Hilton
00:57:00.220 are all today canceled.
00:57:02.740 And that'll do it
00:57:03.440 for us today.
