Today on the Matt Wall Show, Joe Biden was already having the worst presidential term
00:00:03.760
in American history, and that was before Russia invaded Ukraine, bringing us closer to World War
00:00:07.680
III. And it's not a coincidence that this has happened after Biden spent his first year in
00:00:11.740
office focusing primarily on wokeness and intentionally making our military weaker
00:00:15.960
and more feminine. So we'll talk about that today. Also, Canada proposes legislation that
00:00:19.700
will allow people to report hate speech before it happens. So Brave New World meets the minority
00:00:25.260
report in Canada. Plus, a trucker convoy heads to DC. I have my reservations about this one,
00:00:30.100
and I'll explain. Also, a writer for New York Magazine says that parents who insist on parental
00:00:34.580
rights are actually household tyrants. And finally, in our daily cancellation, we'll look at the fat
00:00:38.700
acceptance activist who says that dieting is a form of conversion therapy. Yes, all of that and
00:00:55.260
As inflation continues, it's important to keep your budget and financial goals top of mind.
00:00:59.640
Think about the things that you can do today to come out ahead, like refinancing your mortgage.
00:01:03.720
If it's not on your to-do list, it should be because you could be paying a lot less for your
00:01:07.480
home right now. And I know just the people to help. American Financing, a family-owned mortgage lender
00:01:11.900
that's known for its custom home loans and its no-pressure approach to lending. From lower rates to
00:01:16.880
shorter terms and even debt consolidation, they do whatever it takes to set you up for financial
00:01:20.720
success. They could help you save up to $1,000 a month, plus tens of thousands long term. So why
00:01:26.520
not learn more? If you start soon, you may get to skip two payments and could close in as little
00:01:30.920
as 10 days on top of that. So you're saving a lot of money in the long run. You're also saving money,
00:01:35.060
which is great in the short term, because you get to skip a couple of those payments as well.
00:01:39.620
There is no downside to at least giving them a call, which you can do at 866-569-4711.
00:01:44.940
That's 866-569-4711. Give them a call today or visit AmericanFinancing.net. American Financing,
00:01:52.000
NMLS, 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org. Well, on second thought, maybe it wasn't such a good idea
00:02:00.040
to make a dementia patient president. It wasn't a good idea on first thought either, but here we are.
00:02:05.140
With Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the war drums beating louder than ever in the West,
00:02:09.420
potentially inching us closer to a third world war, we can definitively say, though we could have said it
00:02:14.440
before this point, that no president in American history has done this much damage this quickly.
00:02:20.140
Now, we live in an age of hyperbole when every bad thing is the worst thing ever, and every bad
00:02:25.020
person is literally Hitler, and every politician we don't like is the worst politician ever, and
00:02:30.080
also literally Hitler. One of the consequences of all this exaggeration is that we have no way
00:02:34.740
to sufficiently describe people and things that really are historically bad. And in this case,
00:02:40.900
it actually is true that Joe Biden is, so far, the worst president in American history,
00:02:46.820
and the competition isn't very close. I mean, the gap between second and third worst is much
00:02:52.140
smaller than the gap between second worst and Joe Biden, worst of all. He has been a disaster on every
00:02:57.760
front in every way from every conceivable angle. And the worst thing about him being the worst
00:03:05.340
is that it was all totally foreseeable. We knew that he's an elderly man losing control of his
00:03:11.800
mental faculties. We knew that his handlers are far left ideologues and slimy soulless grifters and
00:03:17.500
con artists. We knew that his administration would put wokeness before all else. He's done mostly what
00:03:24.160
he said he would do, even if he doesn't remember saying it. And it's as bad as we knew it would be
00:03:29.100
or should have known. Today, some of those things loom, especially large, like the fact that,
00:03:34.120
for example, Joe Biden shut down the Keystone pipeline and destroyed any hope of American
00:03:38.600
energy independence. In fact, the whole Western world abandoned that goal over the last couple
00:03:43.400
of years, largely because an annoying little Swedish girl yelled at us about it. So we said,
00:03:48.660
okay, well, never mind. Forget about energy. Now we import 20 million barrels of oil from Russia
00:03:53.920
every month with no plan in place to replace that production. Once the spigot is turned off,
00:03:59.940
Biden made sure that we were dependent upon our adversaries for survival while also making sure
00:04:07.020
that our adversaries won't respect or fear us a lethal combination. As we're seeing this morning,
00:04:14.300
I've been thinking a lot about one of Biden's very first acts while in office, one of the very first
00:04:19.880
things he did. He shut down Keystone. But even before that, one of the first things he did was
00:04:26.080
to invite a flamboyant social media influencer to the White House to film a TikTok skit. Let's go back
00:04:32.380
and relive that one together. One sec. Democracy's calling. See you, daddy. Bye. Hi, my name is Cooper,
00:04:39.920
and this is a day in my life as a White House intern. We did it, Joe. Hey, everyone. Vote.
00:04:49.020
Usually I start off with a big coffee. Sorry, they're like really strict in here. Hey, Jenny,
00:04:54.600
I booked you a nail appointment, love. Yeah, I didn't tell you to do that. It's called initiative.
00:04:58.120
Hi, White House. This is Cooper. I don't think so. Oh, doesn't matter. This is actually the entrance
00:05:05.800
to the West Wing. This is so fun, and it's really prestigious. Hey, POTUS. Is Olivia Rodrigo
00:05:11.540
still here? No. We've come a long way in our fight against this virus. We've vaccinated 160
00:05:18.240
million Americans. Are you getting this all down? Don't worry, queen. It's all right here. Cooper.
00:05:24.000
Sorry, Miss Jen. Hey, Jen, don't forget to have fun. Spirit fingers, mama. We need to get shots
00:05:29.480
in the arms of every single American. I'm heading to a haircut. Comment if you want me to make more of
00:05:34.740
these. Russia and China are not exactly quaking in their boots when they see that, except from
00:05:42.020
hysterical laughter. Not the kind of laughter you want. Worse, this administration has woke-ified our
00:05:48.240
national defense apparatus and bragged about doing it. I mean, who can forget the CIA ads trying to
00:05:53.540
entice new recruits by promising gay acceptance and rainbow flags? Or what about the army recruits
00:05:59.220
recruitment ad that looked like an actual Disney princess movie, complete with singing and all
00:06:05.400
of that? Or the recruitment ad, again, aimed at women, but featuring a female gay rights activist
00:06:11.240
with two moms? Let's go back today and watch that one again. Although I had a fairly typical childhood,
00:06:19.560
took ballet, played violin, I also marched for equality. I like to think I've been defending
00:06:27.240
freedom from an early age. When I was six years old, one of my moms had an accident that left her
00:06:35.020
paralyzed. Doctors said she might never walk again. But she tapped into my family's pride to get back on
00:06:41.880
her feet, eventually standing at the altar to marry my other mom. With such powerful role models,
00:06:48.960
I finished high school at the top of my class, and then attended UC Davis, where I joined a sorority
00:06:55.600
full of other strong women. But as graduation approached, I began feeling like I'd been handed
00:07:02.200
so much in life, a sorority girl stereotype. Sure, I'd spent my life around inspiring women,
00:07:09.520
but what had I really achieved on my own? One of my sorority sisters was studying abroad in Italy.
00:07:15.620
Another was climbing Mount Everest. I needed my own adventures, my own challenge.
00:07:23.940
And after meeting with an army recruiter, I found it.
00:07:28.700
You notice there, of course, that the army is presented not as something that you join to defend
00:07:34.140
your country and kill bad guys, but as an opportunity for self-discovery. You know, just like along the
00:07:42.020
lines of a sorority girl studying abroad in Italy or climbing Mount Everest. I mean, how could Putin
00:07:49.280
do what he's doing right now? Doesn't he know that Western countries have the most diverse,
00:07:55.320
equitable, tolerant, and trans-inclusive militaries in the history of the world? And he's still messing
00:08:00.500
with us? Wow. I mean, it's almost like we're nothing but a joke at this point.
00:08:06.140
Just this month, a couple of weeks ago, actually, this month, the Defense Department official website
00:08:12.180
ran this article. This again was this month. Diversity, equity, inclusion are necessities
00:08:20.140
in the U.S. military. That's the headline. And it says in part, diversity, equity, inclusion in the
00:08:24.540
military are necessities for the United States. Bishop Garrison, the senior advisor to the Secretary
00:08:28.720
of Defense for Human Capital and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion said. Garrison spoke to the Center for a
00:08:34.100
New American Security today about the progress being made by the department and what still needs
00:08:38.160
to happen. Some 41% of the military identify as members of minority groups, and that number will
00:08:43.260
grow larger, Garrison said. The military must be able to attract, train, and retain them for the
00:08:49.200
services to retain competitive edges, he said. Garrison said, the need for diversity, equity, and inclusion
00:08:54.720
to be consideration or a part of all decisions in the military. Diversity, equity, inclusion have to be a
00:09:00.660
part of all decisions in the military. There is a direct line connecting this kind of madness
00:09:07.480
with what we're witnessing overseas right now. We advertised weakness. We bragged about it.
00:09:14.620
We announced to the world repeatedly that we are now a theocratic state, but our religion is wokeness,
00:09:21.820
and it's less a religion than a death cult, a suicide pact. We give up our own energy production
00:09:28.000
for its sake. We weaken our defenses for it. We will take institutions that were once killing
00:09:34.620
machines and repurpose them to prioritize equity and inclusion. Did we think that Putin wouldn't
00:09:41.600
notice that? Now, blame Putin for invading Ukraine, sure. He's the one doing it. But once you're done
00:09:49.060
pointing that finger and you feel a little better, get it out of your system. I think it's time to
00:09:55.100
conduct a much more painful and necessary investigation of ourselves and our country
00:09:59.740
and our government. Because war and conquest have been the way of the world since the dawn of man.
00:10:05.520
That will always be the case. If you thought you were living in a day and age where that's behind
00:10:10.360
us and it doesn't happen anymore, then you're a fool. You're just like the people who were shocked
00:10:16.640
when a pandemic hit. It's, oh, I didn't know this kind of thing still happens. Of course it happens.
00:10:20.200
It's always going to happen. There are diseases in the world. Sometimes there'll be one particular
00:10:24.980
disease that lots of people get at the same time. So we've, we've had two things in the last few
00:10:30.900
years that we were shocked by, even though there's no excuse to be shocked because these things
00:10:38.560
happening, it just puts us right in line with everybody else who's ever lived on earth.
00:10:42.280
Now, it doesn't make it good or right. Certainly doesn't make it fun or enjoyable. It just makes
00:10:49.260
it what, what is, it makes it reality. We can choose to operate within reality or without,
00:10:56.520
you know, on the outside of it. Biden and the left choose to be outside of reality
00:11:01.460
in a place where there is no more war and nobody wants to conquer anything and everybody gets along.
00:11:07.200
And so we can set out to fill our military with lesbians who can't do three pushups.
00:11:12.100
Why not? This is also the world where climate change is the greatest threat we face. So we can
00:11:17.880
shut down our oil pipelines pipelines because a 15 year old environmentalist made us feel bad
00:11:22.700
and no negative consequences will come of it. We think that's the world the left wants to pretend
00:11:29.060
we live in until the real world comes crashing through the barrier, the sort of wall of delusion
00:11:35.060
they've erected around themselves. And when that happens, what do they do? They start pointing the
00:11:41.100
blame everywhere and at everything and everybody but themselves. And they also, as they've been doing,
00:11:46.920
especially over the past couple of days, call for us to unite and come together. So just today,
00:11:51.960
Senator Brian Schatz, who has a last name that I'll never not find funny, tweeted this. He says,
00:11:57.880
it is more essential than ever that we rally around our president as he leads the free world in
00:12:02.720
response. If your instinct is to try to turn this into a partisan political advantage or a viral
00:12:08.040
tweet, step off the stage. Rally around Joe Biden? That can't happen because though we've listed lots
00:12:17.720
of the bad things Biden has done, we haven't mentioned the worst one of all. He has intentionally cast his
00:12:24.100
own people as the enemy. He has set his sights on chasing down and punishing right wingers and those who
00:12:31.360
disagree with him. He's labeled parents at school board meetings, domestic terrorists.
00:12:36.680
And now the domestic terrorists are supposed to rally around him. We're the enemy, right? That's
00:12:43.280
what he said. We were scum. We were the greatest threat to the safety of this country. And yet now he
00:12:47.680
needs our support. Now that he needs us, we're Americans, but when he doesn't need us anymore,
00:12:52.800
we go back to being rabid dogs that have to be caged or put down. You know, the left is a lot like a
00:12:59.980
drunken, abusive husband who sobers up for three hours and expects affection and cheerfulness from
00:13:03.960
his wife. Hey, honey, I haven't beat you in three hours. What's the big deal? Now we say of women who
00:13:11.160
go along with that, that they have battered wife syndrome. What the left wants from us now is a sort
00:13:16.800
of political battered wife syndrome. But that's not how this works. You said that we're the enemy.
00:13:23.740
You hate us. We're Nazis and terrorists. You shouldn't want our help or support.
00:13:30.580
And anyway, you won't have it. Biden made this bed and now he'll have to lay in it on his own.
00:13:41.120
You know, you might not realize this, but 85% of the grass fed beef in the United States is imported
00:13:53.400
from overseas. So this is a problem that we're seeing quite a lot now is that we're bringing
00:13:58.680
things in from overseas rather than producing them here. Here's the catch. These foreign products
00:14:03.160
are often labeled product of USA since they're minimally processed here, even though they're not
00:14:07.280
really made here. So don't pay a premium for low quality foreign meat. Good Rancher sells 100%
00:14:12.480

00:14:16.520

00:14:55.080
today. So last night, you can imagine how fun this was for me. We had a dog trainer come to the
00:15:02.120
house to help us figure out why the dog hates me and barks at me all the time. Because it's always
00:15:08.220
a mystery. How could anybody hate me? But especially the dog. Why is the dog such an ungrateful brat
00:15:15.120
that he eats my food, lives under my roof while barking and growling at me like any other entitled
00:15:21.960
member of Generation Z? That was the question. So we had the trainer come. She was great. She was
00:15:26.800
very competent, very friendly, very professional, very good at what she was doing. Knew what she was
00:15:31.420
doing. But it was like an hour and a half. And mostly we were talking to her the whole time
00:15:36.980
because she was trying to find out about the dog and figure all this stuff out. And so it's like this
00:15:43.460
long interview process about the dog. And it's the longest I've ever spent talking about a dog in my
00:15:49.260
entire life. And most of the conversation consisted of us describing the dog's behavior and then giving our
00:15:56.580
interpretation of that behavior. And then her politely explaining that we're totally wrong in
00:16:01.520
our interpretation. So like, for example, my wife does this thing that she thinks is very cute where
00:16:07.660
she'll start singing. And then the dog will run into the room and kind of like jump up on her as
00:16:13.620
she's singing. And she has interpreted this as the dog wants to dance with her. And I was always
00:16:20.200
skeptical of that interpretation. I didn't have the heart to say anything. So she told this to the
00:16:24.060
trainer and the trainer had no compunction about it. She said, oh, no, no, that's, you know,
00:16:28.140
he probably just doesn't like it when you sing. He's trying to tell you to stop.
00:16:32.260
So anyway, what we learned after the dog whisperer conducted her pet psychic seance is that the dog
00:16:38.160
lacks confidence and he has a self-esteem issue. And can you imagine, again, just imagine me sitting
00:16:43.800
there for an hour and a half listening to this about a dog's self-esteem issues. And we have to build
00:16:48.140
up his self-esteem. And of course, I'm sitting there thinking like, why is that my problem?
00:16:53.640
Why can't the dog just suck it up? What does he want from me? Oh, you have a self-esteem
00:16:57.540
problem, dog? Join the club. We all do. You don't see me barking at people because of it.
00:17:05.280
I guess I sort of do in my own way, but still. But here's the upshot. Good news. According to the
00:17:11.360
trainer, because the dog lacks confidence around me, especially, and is getting adjusted to us and
00:17:18.240
he's getting settled in. What that means is that for the foreseeable future, I've been instructed
00:17:22.420
to ignore the dog. Like don't pet him. Don't, don't, don't be the one feeding him. Don't take
00:17:28.040
him out for any walks. Don't take him out at night like I had been doing. So don't do any chores
00:17:32.260
related to the dog. That's what she said. That is what she said. I have to give the dog space.
00:17:37.180
That's my instruction. And so as hard as it will be for me to do nothing at all, that's what I'll
00:17:43.940
do. You know, I have to do nothing and have my wife do everything as far as the dog's concerned.
00:17:48.980
It's what she recommends. You know, it's not what I want. It's what she said. And I, for one,
00:17:52.860
think we need to take our recommendations very seriously. And I kind of explained to my wife
00:17:57.100
after the trainer left, I said, you know, I think this woman knows what she's talking about.
00:18:02.540
She really seemed to have it together. She said, I shouldn't do anything. And I, you know,
00:18:05.720
it pains me because of how much I love the dog and I want to bond with the dog and I want to help
00:18:10.000
you, but I just, I can't, I have to do nothing. And I also explained that, you know, I probably
00:18:14.780
should, again, just because I'm concerned about the dog. I mean, things like she wanted me to take
00:18:20.380
the trash out after the trainer left. And I said, I probably shouldn't do that because that means
00:18:24.460
that I'm leaving and coming back in. It always upsets the dog when I walk in the door and it hurts
00:18:28.960
his confidence, his self-esteem. I don't want to do that. You know, putting the kids down for bed at night,
00:18:33.480
I probably should just not, I probably should just sit on the couch and watch TV. I probably
00:18:36.360
shouldn't be doing that. I'm moving around too much. So, you know, it's, it's all about the dog
00:18:42.720
and I am here to help the dog by doing nothing for him at all. Okay. Let's start here from the
00:18:50.140
post-millennial, by the way, one other point about that. I have, I have mentioned these dog problems on
00:18:56.440
the show a few times and I've gotten a lot of advice in the comment section and, you know,
00:19:03.400
I'm not saying who's right and who's wrong, but I will tell you, I didn't say where I got, I didn't
00:19:07.860
tell the trainer that I got that prior to this, I'd been doing things that I learned from YouTube
00:19:11.660
comments, but the trainer did say, I don't mean to throw you guys under the bus, but she, she did say
00:19:16.920
that all of that advice was terrible. So, and I agree because most of the other advice involved me
00:19:22.760
doing things. So that's from the post-millennial says proposed hate speech legislation in Canada
00:19:27.400
would allow people to take others to court. If they suspect that someone will post content
00:19:33.000
deemed hateful online will post bill C36 states that a person may with the attorney general's consent
00:19:40.540
lay an information before a provincial court judge. If the person fears on reasonable grounds
00:19:44.680
that another person will commit an offense under section 318 or subsection 3, 319, which is about
00:19:52.100
inciting or promoting hate or promoting hatred. It also covers quote, an offense motivated by bias,
00:19:58.000
prejudice, or hate based on race, national, or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age,
00:20:04.880
mental, or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or expression, or any other similar
00:20:10.400
factor. So those are the reasons that you're, you're, you're not allowed to hate someone for any of
00:20:15.760
those reasons, but you, you can still hate them and you can even say that you hate them. It's just,
00:20:21.400
there are specific reasons why you're not. So there, there's a category of reasons that are
00:20:26.340
not acceptable for hating somebody. And then there's a category that still is acceptable. So
00:20:30.340
you can, um, hate someone just because of who they are. And this is something I've never quite
00:20:38.160
understood. Like if I'm going to be hated by another person and you might argue that perhaps there are a
00:20:45.920
few people, a few people out there who do hate me. And if I could choose between being hated because
00:20:53.380
of my skin color or my gender or something, or being hated because of just who I am at a deep and
00:20:59.140
personal level, I think I would, I would prefer the skin color and gender-based hatred because it
00:21:05.480
doesn't go as deep. Right? So if anything, that, that would, that to me, that's not as insulting,
00:21:12.380
not nearly as insulting because then I'm just getting lumped in with everybody else who shares
00:21:16.780
this feature. It's not my fault that I have this characteristic. And so if you hate me for that
00:21:20.620
reason, that's kind of like your problem. But if you say, no, I, I, it's not because of that. I just
00:21:25.900
hate who you are. I hate, I hate everything about you down to your soul. That's what it is.
00:21:29.460
That to me, that's going to hurt a little bit more. So I've never quite understood why that's
00:21:35.540
the kind of hatred. That's the kind of bigotry that's acceptable. You could say, oh, I really
00:21:41.780
hate you. Oh, do you hate me because of my, is it because of my skin color? No. Is it because of my
00:21:46.060
gender? No. Oh, it's fine then. That I don't get. I'm going back to the article. It says diversity
00:21:52.060
minister Ahmed Hussain reintroduced the legislation after events that transpired in Ottawa in which a very
00:21:57.460
small number of individuals at the Freedom Convoy protest allegedly carried hateful symbols,
00:22:02.520
including swastikos. Ahmed called the symbols reprehensible and said that the government would
00:22:08.320
reintroduce the bill that died when the election was called last year. He said, seeing symbols of
00:22:13.700
hate right across the doorstep of our parliament is unbelievable and should be condemned. Now,
00:22:19.440
this does raise another question. Well, many questions are raised. Like another one is,
00:22:25.260
and it actually is not explained. How could you report this stuff before it happens?
00:22:33.500
I mean, it's bad enough to have hate speech laws on the books. How are you reporting it before it
00:22:37.340
happens? Is this minority report? Do you have psychics that you, that you have hooked up to tubes
00:22:43.220
in some kind of weird petroleum jelly? Am I thinking of the right movie? Yeah, that's that movie,
00:22:48.400
which never made a lot of sense to me, by the way, because it's like set in the future and they have
00:22:51.680
this technology. You'd think they have technology to read the future or to know what's going to
00:22:56.740
happen in the future, but instead they have these psychics that they've, they don't really explain
00:23:01.020
that. But anyway, is that, is that how you're finding out that someone's going to post hate speech
00:23:06.920
in the future? That really isn't explained. And the other question is, well, how do you,
00:23:11.740
how do you define hate? How do you determine it? Because hatred is a motivation that is based
00:23:20.960
within a person's heart, right? It's, it's deep within them. So how could you possibly know
00:23:25.480
whether someone is hateful or not? Well, it does say this. It doesn't provide a clear cut definition
00:23:30.340
of what hate is, but instead says that, quote, hatred means the emotion that involves detestation
00:23:36.560
or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain. Oh, I mean, silly me. I thought disdain
00:23:44.940
and hatred were kind of the, you know, synonyms, loathing someone, disdaining them, hating them. I
00:23:52.620
kind of thought that was sort of the same thing, but no, it's, it's one step above disdain or dislike
00:23:59.080
or even strong dislike. So does that mean that according to the law, you can strongly dislike someone
00:24:05.740
for their sexual orientation, gender or race. You just can't hate them. Does that become a valid
00:24:12.680
defense in the court of law when you're bringing in a, you know, a perpetrator of alleged hate speech?
00:24:19.260
Can he defend himself by saying, no, I don't, I don't hate this person because of the race. I just
00:24:23.540
strongly dislike it. This is the total absurdity that you immediately descend into when you try to
00:24:33.240
have laws against hate of, of any kind, for any reason. There's no way to know what's going on
00:24:43.420
inside someone's heart. Um, and, and also there's, there's no reason why hatred should be considered
00:24:51.400
the worst thing. I mean, so we take, um, what about a hate crime? You know, Canada has more hate speech
00:24:58.960
laws than we have, but we both have this category of hate crime. And if you commit a hate crime,
00:25:04.700
then that's a, that's an, that's a federal charge. And now that's going to be a worse sentence that
00:25:09.020
you get. Um, now the things that are done, you know, if you kill someone and it's allegedly a hate
00:25:17.080
crime, well, obviously the, the murder, if you're murdering an innocent person, you should go to jail
00:25:21.200
for that. But we've decided quite arbitrarily that the worst reason to kill somebody is because you
00:25:29.660
hate them. And so there should be sometimes a quite significant extra sentence. It's a whole extra
00:25:36.140
crime that you get charged for if you murder them for hate. But why is that the case? Because for one
00:25:42.900
thing, if you kill someone, they're just as dead, no matter the reason for it. Um, but also probably
00:25:51.840
the majority of murders, the murders that, that, that happen, you know, between strangers,
00:25:58.280
majority of murders and kind of violence happen in domestic disputes and that sort of thing. But, um,
00:26:04.120
if we're talking about a stranger murdering somebody else, you know, many of those murders
00:26:11.000
are not grounded in hate. They're grounded in just basic indifference to human life.
00:26:18.860
So if you read of a case in the city where someone gets shot in the head, uh, for the $5 in their
00:26:26.000
wallet, well, that's, that's not a hate crime because the reason that they were killed was for
00:26:31.480
the $5, not because of the person's race. And so our emphasis on hate crimes in our system of law
00:26:38.060
will say that, well, that's, that's bad, but it's not as bad as it could have been.
00:26:45.380
Well, I would say it's, it's at least as bad, you know, killing someone because you want to take
00:26:50.720
$5 from them and killing them because you don't like the way they look. I would put them at least
00:26:56.760
on par. And if anything, uh, the former is, is maybe even worse murder out of pure indifference.
00:27:07.580
I don't even care about you enough to hate you. I'm going to kill you for the $5 because your life
00:27:13.840
just means nothing to me. I don't even, I don't have the energy to hate you. That's a step up from
00:27:22.400
how I feel about you. You, you are, you are just nothing to me. You're dirt. So many murders,
00:27:29.120
especially in the, uh, the inner cities are motivated by that total indifference to human
00:27:33.040
life. So why shouldn't we have a special category for that? Make that its own federal charge. It just
00:27:40.180
becomes absurd. Um, but again, it also requires in order to, to, to parse all these things. Well,
00:27:48.280
was it a total indifference to human life? Was it hatred? Was it dislike? Was it disdain?
00:27:53.900
It requires you to peer inside somebody's soul and make these determinations, which you just can't do.
00:28:01.400
All right. This is from USA Today. It says as many as 700 national guard members are prepared to take
00:28:05.840
posts across the nation's capital amid planned trucker protest convoys that organizers say could
00:28:10.960
paralyze the city without entering it. Um, Bob Bolas, a Pennsylvania truck driver says he's leading the
00:28:16.800
freedom convoy of trucks from Pennsylvania to Washington on Wednesday. But, um, he told NBC4TV
00:28:22.260
in Washington that he has backed off immediate plans to gridlock the Capitol Beltway. Um, and,
00:28:28.140
uh, he says for right now, they're not shutting the traffic down, but he says, quote, if we don't
00:28:34.260
have a resolution from the government to the rights that they're taking from us, I will predict in the
00:28:37.500
future it will get shut down. So the convoy is, is headed to a DC and it's, they want to arrive
00:28:44.940
right in time basically for the state of the union. And that's an interview with one of the
00:28:50.540
organizers, but we have here a clip. This is a, someone else who also identifies themselves as
00:28:55.620
one of the leaders and organizers of the, um, of this trucker convoy that's coming to DC.
00:29:02.300
And here he is explaining, you know, what it is. And I guess, cause one question I have when I,
00:29:06.780
when I first heard about a trucker convoy being organized in the United States to go to DC,
00:29:10.920
I was like, is like, well, okay, what, what are they trying to accomplish? We know about the
00:29:15.520
truckers in Canada and why that convoy happened and what, what their demands were, right? What they
00:29:21.320
were, um, rallying for, but why the trucker protest here? Well, let's listen to what this guy
00:29:28.480
says. Maybe he'll explain it. This message is for the president of the United States of America.
00:29:33.560
My name is Kyle Sepchik of the Freedom Convoy USA 2022. And our routes meet here in DC on March 1st
00:29:40.460
in time for your state of the union address. We are very organized and our routes are public.
00:29:45.740
I even pulled a permit for the national mall to be respectful. I just want to be as transparent
00:29:49.920
as possible from the start. So there's no confusion. We are coming peacefully and we're
00:29:54.080
going to do this lawfully and constitutionally. I want the rest of the world to know our plans
00:29:58.380
so that there's no twisting and lying about who and what we are. I'm coming to you as a father,
00:30:03.720
a small business owner who's unaffiliated to any parties. We just want government overreach to end.
00:30:09.860
On behalf of Freedom Convoy USA 2022, we are asking you to end the state of emergency and the
00:30:18.560
mandates once and for all. Sir, the world is watching us because they know that if what's
00:30:24.300
happening in Canada happens to us here in the land of the free, then freedom as we know it is gone.
00:30:29.640
Yeah. I got to, I got to be totally honest with you and I might be going out on a limb here. I'm not
00:30:33.240
sure how many of you will follow me on it. Um, I, I really don't, I don't love this idea of this
00:30:40.120
trucker convoy. It makes me uneasy. Um, especially now, right? I mean, Biden is in, and the Democrats
00:30:51.800
in general are tanking in the polls. They're only to go lower from here. You know, this is,
00:30:57.740
this is a game of limbo now. How low can you go? And they're going to go very, very low. Um,
00:31:02.440
and that's kind of from a, from a political standpoint and a protest is a, is a political,
00:31:08.300
it's a, it's a political statement. And so there should be some political calculation that goes
00:31:13.540
into any kind of protest. That's how you should be thinking about it. If you're not thinking of it
00:31:17.720
in those terms and you shouldn't be doing it. And so what exactly is the trucker protests going to
00:31:25.560
potentially accomplish other than turning the attention to you in a potentially very negative
00:31:31.360
way, depending on how it goes and what happens. I mean, all it would seem to, to potentially
00:31:37.960
accomplish is just distracting from, uh, you know, from, from Biden and what a terrible job he's doing.
00:31:44.780
And as far as mandates go, well, okay, this is a trucker convoy to end the mandates, but
00:31:51.940
so if you're doing it a year ago, then I understand, but, but what federal mandates are you even
00:31:57.680
protesting now? The vast majority of the mandates are gone. So what, what federal man mandates exactly
00:32:06.580
are they protesting? Cause they should be very specific. That's the other thing you need to be
00:32:10.480
in a protest is specific about what exactly you're protesting and, and what you would like to see
00:32:16.960
happen. So you have to, you have to have an idea in mind of what victory looks like. What does it
00:32:22.840
look like to win here? And I think very often there are protests and demonstrations where people don't
00:32:31.420
think about that ahead of time. They don't think about what does a win look like to me? And so they just
00:32:36.020
go and kind of do something and let the chips fall where they may. But, uh, that, that, as we have
00:32:41.360
seen is, is often not the best strategy. So most of the man federal mandates are gone or have been
00:32:48.660
defeated in court. Um, there's still the vaccine mandate for healthcare workers, which is a very
00:32:54.060
bad thing. I mean, is that what this is specifically about? Um, and there's the federal mandate for public
00:32:59.960
transportation. You have to wear masks on planes, which is also stupid. So is that, is that it?
00:33:05.160
But again, it does, it still raises the question of why, why now, why not a year ago?
00:33:11.780
We've already seen, so we saw the trucker convoy. It already happened. This feels like a rehash of
00:33:15.980
something that just happened. Um, when there's, uh, but, but with clear, with less clear goals in mind
00:33:25.860
and then you're going to DC and it's, well, we're not shutting down traffic, but we might,
00:33:31.460
maybe we'll create a massive gridlock. And we don't all even agree on like why we're doing this.
00:33:38.120
I'm telling you, that is a disaster. That is a disaster to go into DC around the state of the
00:33:45.780
union. And potentially maybe, I mean, there's, again, it's, it doesn't seem to, everyone doesn't
00:33:50.980
seem to be on the same page, but potentially create massive gridlock and a huge inconvenience for
00:33:55.800
everybody in the city without being able to, in a unified way, even explain why you're doing it
00:34:01.920
or what you want to see happen. That is a recipe to turn all the backlash against you,
00:34:12.420
distracting from Joe Biden and what a terrible job he's doing.
00:34:17.460
I mean, I don't think when I, when I think of the, uh, how Democrats in Congress and the
00:34:22.400
administration, how they're looking at this, I doubt that they're sitting there, you know,
00:34:28.300
uh, biting their fingernails, nervous and saying, Oh, I hope I wish they weren't coming. I think
00:34:34.920
they're probably pretty happy about this, that you're going to come and create a big distraction
00:34:40.100
and make it about you. That's sounds good to us. Gets the heat off us for a little bit
00:34:45.480
and always with the potential for things to go very, very bad.
00:34:53.580
I mean, we don't, we don't have to probably don't have to remind you of January 6th.
00:34:59.040
That was another massive demonstration where it was never exactly clear what the end goal was.
00:35:06.540
And the next thing you know, you had people going into the Capitol and certainly there was no idea.
00:35:10.940
They had no idea why they were doing it or, or, or what, what victory was supposed to look like here.
00:35:14.460
They just were kind of like doing something. And, uh, and I look at this and I think that makes me
00:35:21.960
uneasy for that reason. Also the potential, you have to think about these things for people to
00:35:29.140
infiltrate this and, you know, uh, kind of try to turn it against you from the inside.
00:35:36.100
The way to the ways that the, the, the, the, the people can kind of manipulate the optics of this
00:35:43.000
thing. I just, I don't like it. Here's what I would say. If you know, truckers are in a position
00:35:48.240
where they can make a huge difference. And the fact that they're willing to sacrifice and make a
00:35:55.760
difference. I have a lot of respect and admiration for that. So, um, I would say at this point, if you
00:36:00.940
have specific goals in mind, something that you want to see happen, something you're pushing for,
00:36:05.000
I think a trucker strike across the country would be much more effective because best case scenario
00:36:11.540
with another convoy, which I think most people are going to look at that and kind of yawn and say,
00:36:15.780
we just saw this. Right. Um, the best case scenario is that you're there and you kind of make a,
00:36:21.260
you make a stink for a little bit and, and then, but then you're dispersed and you go home.
00:36:24.440
That's like best case scenario and nothing terrible happens. Nothing is really achieved
00:36:30.320
though. Um, I think a strike on the other hand, now you really want to impose your will in a
00:36:37.320
peaceful way. Uh, that's how you do it. I would think. All right, let's go to this, uh, briefly.
00:36:46.040
Sarah Jones is a writer for New York magazine and, uh, she wrote an article titled household tyrants.
00:36:52.480
And, uh, she wrote in her caption to the article, I wrote about the parental rights push and its
00:36:58.040
relationship to the GOP's authoritarian view of power. And she says, conservatives imagine the
00:37:03.820
parent as a household tyrant. Their rights both supersede and are in conflict with the rights of
00:37:08.880
the child. Key to this is the parent's role as a local enforcer of the GOP's national agenda.
00:37:16.300
Okay. A couple of things here. Uh, first of all, obviously she's not worried about the rights of
00:37:21.340
the child at all. That is not her concern. Her concern is entirely the rights of the state,
00:37:27.320
the right of the government to interfere in the family. Her concern is the right of the, of the,
00:37:33.240
the state to come between the child and the parent. That's what she cares about.
00:37:39.560
Just give a damn about the rights of a child to begin with. If you're pro abortion,
00:37:44.500
you are in no position to ever talk about the rights of a child.
00:37:50.660
Because in your view, a child at a certain stage in development has zero rights and zero moral
00:37:56.900
worth has no, is, is, is, uh, owed no legal protection whatsoever in your view. And now you
00:38:04.740
want to talk about the rights of a child. So that's the first thing we always have to establish is that
00:38:10.600
this is a bad faith argument. It's a, it's a dishonest argument. She doesn't really care
00:38:14.980
about the rights of a child. Once we've established that we can also, uh, note the fact that, well,
00:38:21.760
you know, she's scandalized by the idea that the rights of the parent would come before the rights
00:38:26.400
of the child. But of course the rights of the parent supersede the rights of the child.
00:38:32.160
Obviously that's the case, um, legally in that adults have lots of legal rights that children
00:38:43.540
don't have. And it's also the, it's also the case, uh, in each individual family, if the family is
00:38:50.340
properly ordered in my home, you know, my home is not a democracy. You can't run a family that way.
00:38:59.680
That's a recipe for chaos in your family. And it's chaos that, um, will hurt the child most of all,
00:39:10.040
because what the child needs is a properly ordered family with, with peace and security at home
00:39:17.900
and stability. That's what the kid needs. And you don't achieve that by giving the child an equal
00:39:24.520
voice in the family. Everything you do, you put it up for a vote and the views and opinions of your
00:39:32.240
four-year-old, uh, weigh equally against your opinions as, as an adult and the person running the
00:39:38.440
family, the person who earns all the money and provides everything. Um, that's, that's, that's not a
00:39:46.600
recipe for, for anything good for the child. What you're doing there actually is you're setting,
00:39:54.260
and this is another, another one of the goals of, uh, of the left is they want to, they want the state
00:39:59.660
to come between the parent and the child, but they also want to set each individual family member
00:40:04.160
against each other sort of in, uh, in competition. And that's, that's what you're, you're doing here
00:40:09.860
when there's not, when there isn't a, a sense of proper order. Now it's just a constant competition
00:40:15.180
between, uh, the child and the father and, and, and, and father and mother also in competition and
00:40:22.500
everybody's sort of vying for power in this kind of Machiavellian way. Uh, but that's not how the, a family
00:40:28.860
is supposed to be run. So in my family, uh, no, my, my kids do not have equal say in, in what happens
00:40:35.800
in the house, far from it. Uh, they oftentimes, depending on what it is, have get no vote at all
00:40:41.860
very often. And my wife and I have the right to do lots of things that our kids cannot do.
00:40:51.740
Just one example, uh, we can stay up as late as we want. We might have, we might pay the price the
00:40:57.500
next day, but we can do my kids. They have a bedtime. And sometimes my kids will say to me,
00:41:02.340
that's not fair. Why do you get to step? Because we're the adults and you're the child.
00:41:05.800
And this is how it works. But along with having those rights, it also means that you have,
00:41:12.080
cause the flip side of the coin of the rights coin, when you flip the coin over, you find
00:41:17.040
responsibilities. Responsibilities always come tied with rights. When you try to remove the
00:41:21.740
responsibility dimension from rights, you get again, chaos, which is what we're seeing in our,
00:41:26.480
in our country. Um, so while we have many rights that the child, that our children don't,
00:41:32.380
we also have many responsibilities that they don't, which would be basically all of the,
00:41:38.520
all of the serious responsibilities ultimately fall to us.
00:41:44.040
So that's how a family is supposed to work. But this is also what you get when you have a lot of
00:41:47.460
childless people pontificating about the family and how families are supposed to operate when they
00:41:52.680
obviously have no experience with it and no idea. Let's get now to the comment section.
00:42:06.820
Dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. Let's go to clip eight.
00:42:18.440
As a noun, woman can have a few meanings. One, the female human being, as distinguished from a girl or a man.
00:42:26.960
Two, an adult female person. Three, a female attendant to a lady of rank. Four, a wife.
00:42:39.780
According to Wikipedia, a woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood,
00:42:46.720
a female human is referred to as a girl. The plural women is sometimes used in certain phrases
00:42:52.080
such as women's rights to denote female humans, regardless of age. Typically, women have two
00:42:57.940
X chromosomes and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause.
00:43:35.640
I mean, you can come out to Alexa, which is obviously, you know, that's the first thing you should do when you're coming out first to let all your computer systems know.
00:43:50.480
And all she says is thanks for telling me dismissively.
00:43:58.800
Jay Stoss says, first, Matt said that narcissism was the biggest problem in our society.
00:44:02.760
Then he said it was cowardice that was the biggest problem.
00:44:11.800
Charles says, Matt, I guess you never learned anything in history class because there are great examples in history of people like just like Vladimir Putin that people like you before World War II started that chose to ignore the problem.
00:44:22.820
It's almost like people like yourself are not going to be happy unless we do repeat our history.
00:44:29.320
By the way, Matt, war with Russia might just happen if you want it or not.
00:44:35.880
It might happen whether I want it or not, and I certainly don't.
00:44:38.880
The only thing I'll say is a couple things, Charles.
00:44:41.420
First of all, not everything in history is analogous.
00:44:45.520
Not everything that happens is analogous with World War II.
00:44:48.780
I know that's what we learn on the Internet is that everything that occurs is just like World War II.
00:44:55.540
And if you're on, if you stand against the prevailing opinion about any situation or occurrence, then you are taking the side of the bad guys in World War II.
00:45:05.380
That's the lesson from the Internet, but it's not a lesson that we should take to heart because it's not true.
00:45:09.760
But also, there's this, here's what I'm trying to figure out, Charles.
00:45:13.560
Because I'm being told, and I don't know if you would say this or not, but I have heard this bit about, oh, it's just like World War II.
00:45:23.520
And if we ignore it, then it's like ignoring Hitler in the early going.
00:45:29.620
But also, the same people saying that are the ones breathlessly insisting that, oh, they don't want to send any troops in.
00:45:39.880
Of course, they don't support sending troops in to fight Russia.
00:45:46.740
Because if this is just like World War II, and Putin is just like Hitler, and it's the same kind of thing, then wouldn't you support sending troops in?
00:45:56.400
I assume you supported sending troops into World War II.
00:46:02.320
On one hand, you are describing this in a way that would seem to justify sending troops in.
00:46:10.300
But then on the other hand, you're claiming that you don't want to send troops in.
00:46:19.660
Because you've got one side of this discussion where it does not seem to me that they're being honest.
00:46:25.900
What I would predict is that, you know, I'd give it two weeks, but it might be more like two days.
00:46:30.400
Sometime in the near future, all of the people, you could take screenshots of all the tweets and everything.
00:46:34.600
You see people saying, oh, of course, I'm not supporting sending troops in.
00:46:37.500
Almost all of them, in short order, will be saying, oh, yeah, let's send the troops in.
00:46:41.180
And if you listen to what they're saying, you put the denials aside right now and listen to everything else they're saying, especially these World War II and Hitler comparisons, it's obvious already that that's basically what they're calling for without saying it.
00:46:54.700
And maybe they don't want to say it yet because they know that it's just the ground has not been prepared for it quite yet.
00:47:02.100
So they want to prepare the ground and then they'll start sprinkling the seeds of, you know, actually getting involved in World War III.
00:47:11.440
But I am, I'm going to say consistent on this, you know, I, to get troops involved in this conflict for Ukraine would be, it would be disastrous for us on a scale that you, I don't even think we can imagine how bad it could get for us to do that.
00:47:36.160
But I am, I am sitting here anticipating, I know it's going to happen soon enough, mark my words, soon enough, you're going to start hearing these people explicitly saying, let's send the troops in.
00:47:49.400
And finally, Anthony says, hey Matt, what's your favorite Liam Neeson murder slash revenge movie?
00:47:55.840
I love them all because, because they're all like, like exactly the same.
00:47:59.980
And it's pretty much the same story over and over again.
00:48:03.620
And it's, it's always a family member that's, you know, either been kidnapped and has to be rescued or they've already been killed and now it's a revenge thing.
00:48:13.680
It's, it's why I like old fashioned Westerns and why I don't like a lot of the new Westerns because in the old Westerns, it's, it's basically, there's, there's like three basic Western stories and then you just get different versions of the same story.
00:48:31.480
And so same thing with Liam Neeson, but what's the best one?
00:48:35.080
It's, it's obviously going to be the original Taken, which I think is not only the best Liam Neeson movie, but probably one of the best action movies of the last 30 years.
00:48:42.600
America supported Ukraine's move to hand over its nukes in 1994 under a promise for Russia not to evade.
00:48:51.960
That's why it's more important than ever to understand just how insidious these foreign threats are within our own country.
00:48:58.720
Our new show, The Enemy Within, is a docuseries featuring acclaimed journalist and expert in national threats, Lee Smith.
00:49:03.420
Smith uncovers a political coup orchestrated by America's ruling class to generate their own wealth and power in exchange for the slow rise of China's Communist Party in America at the expense of the American people's safety and freedom.
00:49:14.560
In the third episode, Lee uncovers the infiltration of America's universities by Chinese spies, students affiliated with the CCP, and American professors who've sold their allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party for bribes.
00:49:24.720
You can see a little bit of that in the trailer here.
00:49:26.220
What if everything we think we know about our leaders, our society, and our relations with the rest of the world is wrong?
00:49:44.340
However, the most significant threat comes from within.
00:49:48.740
You're trying to obscure responsibility for four million people dying around the world.
00:49:53.260
Senator Paul, you do not know what you are talking about.
00:49:57.260
We've already seen evidence of how the elites want to run the United States.
00:50:01.860
They're modeling themselves after Chinese autocracy.
00:50:04.880
For over a decade, the People's Republic of China has stood publicly accused of acts of cruelty and wickedness that match the cruelty and wickedness of many evil torturers and executioners.
00:50:23.260
Diane Feinstein had a Chinese spy as her driver for 20 years.
00:50:29.540
We're not talking about one person infiltrating senior levels at the CIA or the White House.
00:50:36.080
We're talking about an entire elite class throughout the political, corporate, academic, cultural, and media establishment.
00:50:49.780
This is the most astonishing esionage and infiltration operation in history.
00:50:55.640
What you're going to see in this series will shock you.
00:51:06.080

And finally, as the beloved author of the best-selling children's LGBTQ plus book, Johnny the Walrus, as you know, I'm an important voice in the transgender conversation and in the LGBT conversation broadly.
00:52:12.780
It's why I was invited to Dr. Phil to discuss these important issues as a noted expert.
00:52:17.600
The other experts on the panel, you know, apparently were not experts.
00:52:21.800
You can check that out if you haven't seen those clips yet.
00:52:23.960
Even more importantly, if you haven't picked up a copy of my best-selling children's book, you should do so immediately.
00:52:28.460
It's sold out in 48 hours when it was released.
00:52:33.040
You can reserve Johnny the Walrus now on Amazon or go to johnnythewalrus.com.
00:52:38.500
You know, we're quite used to hearing insane things from the body positivity camp.
00:52:47.400
But yesterday, a body positivity activist and fat acceptance activist named Monica Crete upped the ante considerably.
00:52:54.600
On her social media accounts, which have all now been set to private, Crete calls herself a writer, consultant, educator, fighting weight stigma in public health and medicine.
00:53:02.520
She also hosts seminars on the topic of being fat.
00:53:06.020
Unfortunately, you missed the most recent one, hosted alongside activist Mikey Mercedes, who is a woman, by the way.
00:53:12.040
Although I didn't have to tell you that she's a woman because the body positivity people are always women.
00:53:16.280
Can you remember the last time you saw a man's fatness celebrated?
00:53:20.600
When's the last time one of these body positivity fat people was a man?
00:53:27.440
It's specifically women who have the right to balloon to whatever size they please, without any criticism from anybody.
00:53:33.960
So anyway, the seminar was titled Fat Phobia in Public Health.
00:53:38.080
And was specifically meant for weight-inclusive dieticians.
00:53:42.620
Of course, the term weight-inclusive dietician is a bit like the term cancer-inclusive oncologist or cockroach-inclusive pest control.
00:53:50.100
You can't include, that is, support and celebrate, the very thing your job requires you to treat and destroy.
00:53:59.260
So, there are many such contradictions in the world of the body positivity activists, many absurdities.
00:54:05.060
And they all culminate in this tweet from Monica.
00:54:22.320
Monica, the consultant and educator, says that dieting is a form of conversion therapy.
00:54:27.840
And moreover, that there is zero evidence that dieting actually makes anyone skinnier.
00:54:32.300
Monica believes, or wants you to believe anyway, that caloric intake actually has nothing at all to do with weight.
00:54:40.500
What about all the millions of people who have managed to drop weight by limiting calories?
00:54:44.480
Well, they're all mythological. They don't exist.
00:54:46.420
If you're one of those people, you don't exist.
00:54:49.360
Or else you're part of a grand fat-phobic conspiracy.
00:54:52.360
A conspiracy which includes almost every doctor and nutritionist in the world, by the way.
00:54:56.920
And what about the fact that starving people always tend to be very skinny?
00:55:02.880
And the fact that obesity is only common in Western countries where people eat a lot of food and hardly move.
00:55:08.460
What about the almost complete absence of obesity in the third world?
00:55:11.560
For that matter, what about the fact that our skeletons and internal organs literally were not made to carry the kind of weight
00:55:17.520
that Monica and her fellow fat activists are forcing their skeletons and organs to carry?
00:55:24.560
That's why there are no morbidly obese 85-year-olds.
00:55:36.960
Don't all of these facts point incontrovertibly to the notion that you get fat when you eat a lot
00:55:48.560
It makes her feel good to see the world the way she sees it.
00:55:50.860
And your job is to enforce whatever perception of the world and herself makes her feel good.
00:55:56.040
That's your sacred responsibility because she says so.
00:55:59.840
Now, as crazy as all of this is, the most revealing aspect is the way that she uses the term fat people and skinny people.
00:56:08.200
Now, she doesn't mean fat and skinny as a mere description of a transient physical trait.
00:56:12.520
Now, when she says fat people, she does not mean people who happen to have an unhealthy amount of lard on their bodies.
00:56:20.020
No, for her, fat is an immutable and defining characteristic.
00:56:31.760
I tell you, we're only months away since I'm making predictions today on the show.
00:56:35.340
But we're only months away from somebody coming up with special pronouns for fat people, which will give a whole new meaning to the term trans fat.
00:56:44.440
In our culture, the special pronoun, it's how you affirm and consecrate an identity.
00:56:50.840
And the good thing is that the blessed pronouns, though they are supposed to have this mystical significance, can change any time.
00:56:57.060
So just for fun, let's look at another example of this phenomenon.
00:56:59.460
Dipping into the TikTok well with the help of our friend Libs of TikTok, who found this one.
00:57:09.340
I think it's finally time for an update on my gender series.
00:57:14.020
I have no idea what part this is, but let's go.
00:57:21.580
I no longer like to be called Kayla unless it's for work, just because it's kind of confusing with the paperwork and stuff.
00:57:30.480
I also am now using all pronouns instead of none.
00:57:34.320
Um, I don't regret not going by any pronouns before, but I do feel that I, it just makes, I don't know, it just, that's what's happening.
00:57:48.020
Um, I still, that is still my gender that I identify with, and I am still bisexual, so those things have not changed at all.
00:57:58.200
It's just a little quick update, um, that I have for y'all, and, I don't know, just let me know if you have any questions.
00:58:07.360
Okay, make sure to update your scoreboard, uh, now, uh, Kayla is now K.
00:58:13.500
She's still xenogender, whatever that is, but, um, she went from no pronouns to all pronouns.
00:58:22.360
Now, how could she have had no pronouns before?
00:58:38.680
She is a man, a woman, a thing, a nothing, and everything.
00:58:48.760
And you better not so much as suggest otherwise, because your job, again, is to affirm.
00:58:51.980
As we've learned, to do anything less than affirm, to express even mild disagreement with a person's self-perception,
00:58:59.220
And conversion therapy is the ultimate sin, because it's an attack on a person's self-identity,
00:59:04.060
which is to say that it's an attack on their entire world, on their reality.
00:59:07.540
Because they recognize no world or reality aside from the one they've created in their heads.
00:59:13.040
Now, I want to get a little bit more philosophical here.
00:59:16.440
So let's bring together fat acceptance stuff, pronouns, hysteria about conversion therapy, and all the rest of it.
00:59:25.760
I think what's happening is that, is that we are conscious beings to begin with.
00:59:30.960
We are aware of ourselves, aware of our own fragility and impermanence.
00:59:36.260
And as far as we know, we're the only creatures in the universe cursed with such an awareness.
00:59:40.800
So we find ourselves floating in this vast ocean of existence, wondering about the reason and the purpose for it all.
00:59:50.060
And we'll fade back into the abyss from which we came, at least physically.
00:59:57.640
The only way to survive is to reach out for an anchor point, you know, something stable.
01:00:04.160
Because we can't be conscious beings floating along with no purpose and yet aware of it the whole time.
01:00:13.540
People who try to live that way end up not living for very long.
01:00:16.080
The problem that we face in the West is that we had an anchor, we had an island, but we abandoned it.
01:00:25.240
We gave up on God, on religion, which was our source of identity, our sense of purpose, our solid ground.
01:00:31.220
We decided that it wasn't good enough for us, so we jumped back into the sea with no real idea of where else to go instead.
01:00:38.360
So now we're adrift, aimless and meandering, and totally susceptible to any storm that comes along.
01:00:43.820
We have no shelter from it, no escape from the crashing waves.
01:00:47.200
What we're witnessing with the proliferation of gender identities, the pronoun madness, the fat acceptance stuff,
01:00:51.620
are a bunch of drowning adrift people reaching out for anchors, for little islands, for some kind of stability and identity,
01:00:59.780
having traded in the one true source of stability and identity available to us.
01:01:04.200
But these anchors aren't really anchors because they're not anchored in anything.
01:01:08.260
They don't go all the way down to the seafloor.
01:01:12.800
They don't provide the sense of purpose and belonging and worth that these people want from them,
01:01:18.020
which is why they're always trading them out for something else.
01:01:22.060
But really, they're still lost in the sea, hopeless and alone.
01:01:26.320
So I guess it's a good thing that fat people are more buoyant on second thought.
01:01:36.300
In any case, the point is, Monica Crete, the fat acceptance activist, is today canceled.
