Today on the Matt Walsh Show, what is a sexy summer camp for children? You probably don't
00:00:04.300
want to know, but you're going to find out today because this is the sort of thing happening in
00:00:07.500
our country. Also, with gas prices rising, the left has decided that actually high gas prices
00:00:12.060
aren't so bad. Even, in fact, Americans like paying higher gas prices. We'll talk about that.
00:00:17.040
And the Senate unanimously passes the anti-lynching law. Every Republican signed on to this pointless
00:00:22.320
bit of virtue signaling. The Biden administration commits billions to spreading gender equity
00:00:26.740
across the globe. And the guy who runs CPAC comes out in support of Leah Thomas. All that and more
00:00:32.160
today on the Matt Walsh Show. Well, we know, we all know, and you've experienced this yourself,
00:00:45.340
inflation is out of control. And one area where we see inflation more than ever is in the grocery
00:00:50.400
store. Even though grocery prices feel like they've doubled, good ranchers' prices have stayed
00:00:56.500
low and affordable. So once you subscribe, the price never goes up. Okay, you're getting locked
00:01:02.040
in, you get that stability, and you're getting great prices. And your best price is locked in
00:01:07.540
for life. Shop Good Ranchers for all your beef, chicken, and seafood needs. Good Ranchers only
00:01:11.800
sells 100% American meat for local farms and ranches. They have signature steak burgers and plenty
00:01:19.380
of other great items as well. Pre-trimmed and pre-meridated chicken breasts are absolutely delicious
00:01:24.280
and so easy to prepare. The chicken breasts, you know, I think deserve an extra mention here because
00:01:29.640
chicken breasts in general are very hard to do right. And because they're one of the most flavorless
00:01:34.940
kinds of meat you can possibly get. They often are very dry and everything. But this chicken breast,
00:01:39.580
even someone who doesn't like chicken breasts, I really enjoyed Good Ranchers. Of course, all their
00:01:43.040
other items as well. So get your $30 discount on prime steaks and better than organic chicken today.

00:02:07.940
After years of complacency, ignorance, and apathy, it seems that many Americans are finally waking up to
00:02:15.040
the sexual indoctrination of our children, which is happening everywhere in schools, Hollywood media,
00:02:19.120
academia, corporate America, I mean, everywhere. There was last year kind of an awakening about
00:02:24.720
critical race theory. Decades after it had already infiltrated the school system, unfortunately,
00:02:29.380
but there was an awakening. And now it seems finally that it is gender theory's turn. Just as
00:02:35.300
happened last year with critical race theory. Now we're seeing seemingly every day new revelations
00:02:41.240
exposing just how perverse and pervasive this stuff is. So over the last 24 hours, there was,
00:02:47.920
first of all, this posted by libs of TikTok on Twitter. It says, KinderCare, a preschool corporation
00:02:53.040
with branches across America, has an extensive LGBTQ curriculum, including activities to explore
00:02:58.560
gender and sexuality. This activity says to switch caps on a marker to show what you are inside
00:03:04.620
doesn't always reflect what you are on the outside. Very scientific stuff. And then there's a prompt
00:03:09.960
for a discussion on all the terms. They're teaching preschoolers about gender fluidity and non-binary.
00:03:16.640
They learn about gender stereotypes, including that boys can wear dresses and you should never
00:03:20.660
assume someone's gender. They're teaching preschoolers to become activists for the LGBTQ plus community.
00:03:26.260
They advise teachers to confuse preschoolers with dolls to show that you can't make assumptions about
00:03:31.300
gender. This again is for preschoolers in 40 states. But then there's this from the Wisconsin
00:03:37.080
Spotlight. It says, parents are not entitled to know their kids' gender identity. According to a
00:03:43.320
recent WOKE training session in the Eau Claire area school district, Empower Wisconsin has obtained a
00:03:49.240
copy of a training slide from last Friday's staff development session, the 2021-2022 equity session on
00:03:55.620
safe spaces reminds teachers that parents are not entitled to know their kids' identities.
00:04:00.800
Not entitled to, let me pause and back up there a second. Parents are not entitled to know
00:04:08.780
their kids' identities. That knowledge must be earned. Teachers are often straddling this complex
00:04:16.940
situation. In ECASD, our priority is supporting the student. Teachers were encouraged to talk amongst
00:04:25.640
yourselves. And then it goes on. First of all, just pausing here. Parents aren't entitled to know
00:04:33.120
this intimate information about their own children. Teachers are entitled to know it.
00:04:38.820
Parents have to earn the knowledge. Parents must prove themselves worthy. And they do that by
00:04:45.080
demonstrating their fealty to left-wing ideology. That's how you know if it's a safe space or not,
00:04:51.740
right? That's how you know if a child is going to be in a safe environment, is if the parent is a
00:04:59.260
leftist. And so before they can know this information about their child, they have to first prove that
00:05:03.840
they're a leftist. Only then can they be entrusted with the secret knowledge about their own children.
00:05:08.220
But the article has more. It says, a district court in 2022 issued a partial injunction against
00:05:13.400
Madison Metropolitan School District's policy allowing children of any age to transition to a different
00:05:18.360
identity at school without parental consent. The full case is now before the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
00:05:24.320
The Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and the Alliance Defending Freedom filed a lawsuit on
00:05:28.600
behalf of a group of parents challenging the gender identity policy that violates the rights of parents
00:05:32.520
to make important health care decisions on their children's behalf. This is what the policy that
00:05:36.820
they're suing about states. These are the provisions. Children of any age can transition to a different
00:05:42.780
gender identity at school by changing their name and pronouns without parental notice or consent
00:05:47.680
of any age. So five-year-olds can do this. District employees are prohibited from notifying parents
00:05:53.680
without the child's consent that their child has or wants to change gender identity at school or that
00:05:59.580
their child may be dealing with gender dysphoria. So essential information about your child's mental
00:06:06.000
health will not be shared with the parents unless the child has the maturity to realize that, oh, my parents
00:06:12.020
should know about my mental health. District employees are even instructed to deceive parents by using the
00:06:17.600
child's legal name and pronouns with family while using the different name and pronoun adopted by the
00:06:23.400
child in the school setting. Somehow, though, these two things are not the most shocking or repulsive
00:06:30.020
news to come out of the grooming world this week. I think that title belongs to this, as reported by
00:06:36.080
the Postmillennial. It says, a virtual summer camp aimed at people of all ages in rural Appalachia
00:06:42.340
has been revealed to have taught people, including children, about masturbation, gender diversity,
00:06:49.380
self-managed abortions, and more over the summer of 2021. The so-called Sexy Summer Camp put on by
00:06:56.820
Sexy Sex Ed was held in July and August of last year on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sexy Sex Ed puts on
00:07:03.800
workshops where they discuss, that they say, rather, quote, compels teenagers and people of
00:07:09.720
all ages to openly discuss personal and political consent, sexual safety, and anatomy. Using visual
00:07:16.060
and performance art, open dialogue, and popular education methods, Sexy Sex Ed fills a vital gap in
00:07:22.780
the reproductive education as a creative cultural healing solution in rural Appalachia. Now, journalist
00:07:30.780
Christopher Ruffo has pulled some of the screenshots from this program, including images of the women
00:07:37.540
who are running this pedophile workshop. You can see the images there. He reports, these women are
00:07:43.700
running a sexy summer camp for children in rural Kentucky with lessons on sex liberation, gender
00:07:48.420
exploration, BDSM, being a sex worker, self-managed abortions, and sexual activity while using licit and
00:07:54.580
illicit drugs. The founder is a woman named Tanya Turner, and she identifies herself as a femme, fat,
00:08:02.200
queer, magical pleasure worker, educator, and artist. She also self-identifies as a witch,
00:08:08.500
and I have no problem with that self-identification. One of her grooming comrades is Caitlin Cummings,
00:08:15.340
real name, as far as I can tell, and she is a radical queer mountain woman, is how she calls herself.
00:08:20.680
And then there's Kirsten Uten, who's a young, fat, differently abled community organizer.
00:08:26.900
Now, interestingly enough, when you look at the pictures of these women,
00:08:30.320
they all look like versions of each other. Okay, looking at their profile, it's like looking at
00:08:35.240
one of those faces of meth progressions, except that the only difference is that meth addicts tend
00:08:40.200
to be skinny. So we don't have time to dissect this aspect of the issue, but there does appear to be
00:08:45.740
something about the pervert groomer left that makes everyone look the same. I mean,
00:08:52.100
they're indistinguishable. It's as if in their descent into degeneracy, they shed every unique
00:08:59.260
and appealing characteristic about themselves, turning into a sex-crazed, yet somehow also sexless
00:09:05.360
drone. And you also notice how all of these women list their fatness, which first of all,
00:09:11.560
we can see your picture. You don't need to tell us. Second, but they list it like it's a resume
00:09:16.720
booster, along with their various sexual and gender identities and so forth. And that's partly
00:09:22.380
because this has become a substitute for a personality among empty, broken people. Rather
00:09:29.180
than having a personality, they have labels. But it's also because their membership in various victim
00:09:35.000
groups is their literal get out of jail free card, allowing them to, they hope, get away with being
00:09:41.680
sexual deviants who prey upon children. Speaking of which, one of these deviants, the leader, the head
00:09:47.600
witch, Tanya, the wicked witch of Pedoville, appeared in an instructional video that, as far as I know,
00:09:55.680
is part of this camp, where, or at least she's talking about her own views on things. And she appears
00:10:00.720
in this video talking about the wonders of masturbation for children of all ages.
00:10:06.060
You know, like, get down with yourself. Explore your own body. Masturbation is really healthy.
00:10:11.560
And I recommend it to people of all ages. All ages. As soon as my nephews could talk,
00:10:17.480
they were doing that. That's what they were doing. Kids touch themselves. Kids start to ask
00:10:23.160
questions. And we teach them the language for their bodies, right? That's your nose. Touch your nose.
00:10:28.660
Show aunt T. You can touch your nose. But my sister's not saying that when they're tugging at
00:10:33.240
their penis, right? But it feels good, right? We have to learn ways to talk to young people about
00:10:39.180
this so that they know how to explore their body consensually so that it's not in public, right?
00:10:44.180
We don't want people exploring their bodies in public. That's not consensual. But exploring your
00:10:49.980
body at any age, grandmas, grandpas, all of us.
00:10:54.180
I don't know why I put my earpiece in to hear that. Now, before we analyze what we just heard
00:10:59.360
there, you should know that this freak has worked in the school systems, which will not
00:11:04.860
be a surprise to you, where she admits that though her job was not to teach sex ed, she
00:11:12.600
In the last couple of years, I worked with the school systems. And my job definitely was
00:11:17.560
not to teach sex ed, but I explored constantly and tried to figure out ways that I could work
00:11:24.320
this in somehow. Like, I'm in the school systems now. I have an inch. Surely I can figure this out.
00:11:29.500
So, now, the disturbing thing is that we know that sex ed for her, well, one of the disturbing
00:11:35.740
things is, if I can point to just one, but it does not mean here's where babies come from. It means
00:11:40.940
talking to kindergartners about masturbation. And note how she claims that people of all ages
00:11:46.780
masturbate. Everyone does it. It's normal, she says. Even toddlers do it. Now, that's not true,
00:11:52.580
of course. But if it was true, if it was something that everyone just intuitively did at every age,
00:11:59.420
then why do you need to tell people all the time that they should masturbate?
00:12:03.640
I mean, leaving aside how creepy and gross that is, and the fact that this woman should be in jail,
00:12:10.000
I'm saying even by her own twisted freak logic, why would you need to teach something to people if
00:12:16.480
you say they all do it all the time anyway? Well, the answer is that she simply enjoys talking to
00:12:23.560
people, especially kids, it seems, about her sexual habits and her fantasies. Now, if she was an old man
00:12:29.700
walking up to a kid at the bus stop and asking the child if he masturbates,
00:12:32.680
we would label him a sex predator and we would throw him in prison.
00:12:36.840
Should the response be any different here? Of course not. But though this woman has run into
00:12:41.900
criticism, only from people on the right, of course, because the left fully endorses all of this,
00:12:46.900
though she's been criticized and now the people involved in sexy summer camp are trying to scrub
00:12:51.060
all evidence of it from the internet, taking the website down and everything, it's too late though,
00:12:56.920
in spite of the criticism, she's not going to be arrested. They will not face any repercussions
00:13:00.380
aside from angry comments from one side of the political aisle, which they can write off and
00:13:06.480
dismiss as simply bigotry. And that's because this is not an anomaly. This is not some sort of
00:13:12.360
extreme outlier. This sort of thing is happening everywhere. It's part of an agenda. It's part of a
00:13:17.180
conspiracy. One that now, hopefully, finally, we're waking up to. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:13:24.600
Now, as gas prices go up across the country, the new narrative from the media, it's not going to
00:13:38.800
get any better with Biden yesterday announcing that now they're going to ban oil from Russia
00:13:45.040
and they're going to look to make that up by going to Venezuela instead. But that disruption
00:13:51.280
is only going to make the situation even worse. So Biden is far from attempting, even incompetently
00:13:59.740
or ineffectively, to solve the problem. He's actually currently in the process of making it worse.
00:14:05.760
So it's hard to even imagine. You can look at some of the speculation,
00:14:09.480
but it's hard to imagine how bad this is going to get. And we also know that it's going to get worse
00:14:15.720
because a lot of this is based on expectation and speculation. And Biden is out there when he's
00:14:22.200
asked about this, are gas prices going to go down? He said, no, they're not going down. They're just
00:14:25.380
going to get worse for a while. That's what he's saying. Not exactly imbuing confidence into the,
00:14:32.520
you know, into the marketplace and for the public. So what are we going to do about this?
00:14:37.960
They're not going to bring the, they're not going to do anything to bring the gas prices down.
00:14:40.900
They're only going to make it worse. As we've talked about on this show, they also,
00:14:43.320
they consider this a positive ultimately, because it's part of the, it's an opportunity for
00:14:47.700
transformation. And we, I just saw a post on Twitter, someone, I think it was one of these
00:14:56.480
dumb pseudo celebrities, I think maybe it was Bette Midler or someone, but put a, you know,
00:15:00.560
had a meme they put out that, oh, well, you know, wind, wind power has gone up by $0.00 and 0 cents.
00:15:07.780
Well, okay. So what am I going to do? Put a sail on my car? I might turn my car into a sailboat.
00:15:15.700
Maybe stick a, you know, an umbrella outside my window or a kite or something and hope that
00:15:20.940
it pulls me along. Um, no, they consider this an opportunity. And so for them, it's not even a
00:15:26.560
problem and they're not going to do anything to fix it. So what, what's the narrative? What's the
00:15:33.180
approach? The approach is to convince us. I mean, quite a quite literal form of gaslighting.
00:15:38.340
The approach now is to convince us that actually high gas prices are good. And we like it. We all
00:15:45.760
love when we go to the gas pump and we see that, the dollar, those, the dollar amount going up and
00:15:52.300
up and up. We love it. We love every second of it. Uh, here's CNN explaining how just regular
00:15:56.820
Americans are excited for the opportunity to pay more for gas here at home at the pump,
00:16:03.540
a lot higher, Kate. But as you mentioned, people we've spoken to over the last couple of weeks,
00:16:08.500
they're okay paying higher prices if it means holding Russia accountable for what they are
00:16:14.200
doing in Ukraine. But these prices are likely going to creep higher. Kate, we'll see how they
00:16:18.640
feel in the next week or so. Kate. And the big question, the big unknown is do any of these
00:16:23.480
moves change Putin's behavior, change the way he is acting right now, what he is doing right now?
00:16:29.420
So yeah, regular Americans are happy to pay more for gas if it means holding Putin accountable.
00:16:35.380
I have, like everybody else as a regular American myself and being around regular Americans,
00:16:41.360
just regular people, I have not heard that perspective from anyone. I have not heard a single
00:16:46.900
person. I think I can guarantee that they did not talk to a single person. This is just their
00:16:51.560
assumption. I mean, they're doing this outside of, she's got, she's doing this remote outside of a
00:16:57.880
gas station. But noticeably, even though she's outside of a gas station, she's not actually
00:17:05.420
interviewing anyone to hear them say, so that we can get the example of someone saying, oh yeah,
00:17:12.060
as long as we're holding Putin accountable. Like that's, like that's a thing that a normal person
00:17:16.880
would say. When we're all sitting around, I mean, we've all had these conversations where you sit
00:17:19.800
around complaining about the gas prices. Have you been that when you're in your living room,
00:17:23.940
you're talking to someone, you're in the break room, you say, oh man, these gas prices. Well,
00:17:27.400
you know what? I'm okay with it if it means we can hold Putin accountable.
00:17:33.800
That's, if someone says that, that's someone who needs some good old-fashioned bullying.
00:17:37.800
You know, that's someone, give them a wedgie, a swirly in the toilet or something. That's what that
00:17:42.180
person needs. No, that's not any regular person, what any regular person would say.
00:17:48.260
And I have to tell you, I am not okay, as I've been saying all along, I am actually not okay
00:17:56.680
with my family or your family or anyone's family in America being forced to make significant
00:18:04.160
sacrifices in their life for the sake of Ukraine, because that's what this really is, okay? It's not
00:18:10.860
holding Putin accountable in general. No, it's for the sake of Ukraine. Nothing against Ukraine,
00:18:19.180
nothing in favor of Putin. But no one has made an argument, no one has made a compelling,
00:18:26.060
coherent argument as to why Americans should suffer for the sake of Ukraine. No one has explained that
00:18:32.380
to me. All we've heard is this hysterical nonsense about how this is just like World War II and Putin
00:18:39.580
is just like Hitler. And, you know, he takes over Ukraine. Next thing you know, he's taken over
00:18:43.720
all of Europe. Next thing you know, he's going to be in France. That's all we've heard. And that is,
00:18:48.040
that is hysterical nonsense. I've not heard any sober assessment or sober analysis explaining why
00:18:55.120
Americans should have to make sacrifices in this case. And our sacrifices aren't done.
00:19:02.500
The sacrifices that none of us signed up for or agreed to. Sacrifices that, by the way,
00:19:08.200
I don't think Ukraine would make for the United States. Because this is the position that we're in
00:19:13.660
as Americans all the time, where we're always told that we have to make these great sacrifices for
00:19:19.380
other countries. Those other countries are not making any sacrifices willingly for us.
00:19:23.400
When does it ever go the other way? These other countries, what are they doing? What are they
00:19:29.640
doing for Americans? Like, what are they, what sacrifices are they making for the sake of American
00:19:36.680
families? Well, they're not. And you can't blame them because they're focused on their own nations,
00:19:40.820
their own countries, their own borders. That's the healthy way to approach it. So they're right.
00:19:46.720
We're not done making sacrifices. We just sent, it was agreed that I think it's $16 billion we're
00:19:54.880
going to send over for Ukrainian aid. Oh, nothing, just $16 billion. Okay. Our cities look like third
00:20:04.860
world countries in refugee camps already. Every city you drive through, they're just like, it's tent
00:20:11.000
refugee camps set up on sidewalks. Our border essentially doesn't exist. So I can think of
00:20:19.940
a lot of ways that we could use $16 billion, but instead we're going to send it to Ukraine to
00:20:23.040
protect Ukraine's border, not ours. Again, these are sacrifices that we all have to make. They won't
00:20:28.800
tell us why. And we should be happy making them. But you know, the rich people in media, it's no big
00:20:36.520
deal to them. Stephen Colbert, he's another one, had a very similar take to CNN saying that,
00:20:40.800
hey, we should be, we should be grateful for making this sacrifice and paying a little bit
00:20:44.480
more. And besides, he doesn't care. It doesn't affect him. Listen. I'll tell you what, I will
00:20:48.480
never complain about a destination wedding again. Russia has been hit with a series of crippling
00:20:54.160
sanctions, and it looks like there's more to come because the US and its European allies are now
00:20:59.460
discussing banning imports of Russian oil. Take that, Putin. We're not going to buy our gas from a war
00:21:05.760
criminal. We're going to buy it from the good guys, Saudi Arabia. But it's going to cost. Since
00:21:13.720
the invasion, oil prices have skyrocketed. Today, the average gas price in America hit an all-time
00:21:19.640
record high of over $4 per gallon. Okay, that stings, but a clean conscience is worth a buck or two.
00:21:26.720
I'm willing to pay. It's important. It's important. I'm willing to pay $4 a gallon. Hell, I'll pay $15
00:21:39.060
a gallon because I drive a Tesla. Right now, people all over the world are trying to find
00:21:46.240
inventive ways to help ordinary Ukrainians. Yeah, we've got to help those ordinary Ukrainians.
00:21:51.860
Forget about ordinary Americans. The ordinary Americans can go to hell. That's the message.
00:21:56.660
You can go to hell. The Ukrainians, they're the ones who matter. So our politicians are walking
00:22:01.240
around the Capitol with Ukrainian flags on, flying the Ukrainian flag because they're the ones who
00:22:07.380
matter. As for ordinary Americans, go to hell. Just pay more. Stop whining. Your country is being
00:22:13.640
invaded. Okay, your jobs are being taken away. Your sovereignty is being destroyed.
00:22:18.980
Your way of life is being annihilated. But, you know, that's your problem.
00:22:29.440
You know who I hate the most when I listen to that clip? It's not Stephen Colbert. It's the
00:22:32.760
seals in the audience clapping along when this multi-millionaire is getting paid tens of millions
00:22:39.680
of dollars. Yeah, he stands up and says, well, for a clean conscience, I'll pay a buck or two.
00:22:44.860
So, yeah, of course he will. You know the thing about Stephen Colbert? He's not only a millionaire,
00:22:49.960
but he's, and he has a Tesla, as he points out himself. He's not driving around anyway.
00:22:55.340
He's got people driving him. He's not even paying for his own gas.
00:22:57.840
For a clean conscience, I'll pay a buck or two. You know, this is something that shouldn't need
00:23:03.700
to be explained. It doesn't need to be explained to most people listening to this because if you're
00:23:06.520
just an ordinary person, you know this. But a spike in gas prices to this extent, it's not a small
00:23:14.620
inconvenience. This is just like what they told us about, you know, it's once again, the early days
00:23:21.740
of COVID all over again. It's deja vu every day. I feel like I'm reliving that nightmare once again
00:23:27.980
because it's the mass hysteria, people being tricked into going along with things that don't
00:23:34.320
make a lot of sense, being tricked into or compelled to make, quote, sacrifices for reasons
00:23:42.220
that are unclear. And it's just like that. They said, oh, it's a minor inconvenience. Just stay home
00:23:46.500
for a week or two, which turned into a month or two, which turned into a year.
00:23:51.260
You know, sacrifice up multiple paychecks, just a small sacrifice.
00:23:55.700
Yeah, we the people telling you that because we're in media and government and everything else in
00:23:59.160
Hollywood, we're not making those sacrifices. We're still going to get paid.
00:24:03.260
And we already get paid more in a month than you make in a year. And we're making those paychecks,
00:24:06.740
but we want you to forfeit your paychecks. It's a small inconvenience. Oh, also wear the mask
00:24:11.100
and have your kids wear it. It's a small inconvenience. That's all it is.
00:24:16.500
Sure, it's it's causing psychological damage and developmental delays that kids may never
00:24:24.520
fully recover from. But it's a small inconvenience. Now, it's the same thing with gas prices. Small
00:24:29.780
inconvenience, small sacrifice. Just a buck or two, he says. Yeah, a buck or two a gallon, Stephen.
00:24:37.240
And there's more than one gallon you're putting in your car.
00:24:39.580
It's that adds up. It just don't just add up. I mean, that that very quick. That's not even
00:24:46.260
something that adds up. It's just all at once. That is an enormous pain
00:24:50.800
that you are inflicting on a lot of American families. I've certainly been in places in my life
00:24:57.820
when gas prices go up. If they spike like they are right now, I simply would not have been able
00:25:05.260
to afford it. I just I don't have the money I would have to. I can't get to work anymore.
00:25:09.640
You know, you need to spend the gas money to get to work. But you can't afford to get to work anymore.
00:25:15.600
But if you're not going to work, then you can't afford the gas. And it's this vicious cycle that
00:25:18.480
you're living in. This is a very real thing that millions of Americans right now are experiencing.
00:25:26.220
No, it's not worth it for a clean conscience. Do you know why? Because my conscience
00:25:30.160
is not at all troubled by anything that's happening in Ukraine. I got nothing to do with it.
00:25:37.640
Yeah, the fact that we have to get our oil from places like Russia, and now we're just getting it
00:25:41.340
from Venezuela anyway, so it's no improvement. That's not a deal. But I don't have that doesn't
00:25:46.060
do anything to my conscience. That was my decision. If it was up to me, we'd be utilizing our own
00:25:51.340
resources. But I'm not the one who made those choices.
00:25:54.820
Here's the last thing I'll say about this. Never listen to these people again when they
00:26:04.180
talk about the minimum wage and how much they care about raising the minimum wage so that
00:26:09.340
everyone has a living wage. That has obviously always just been a banner. That's been a bumper
00:26:17.000
sticker slogan. These people don't give the slightest damn about working people.
00:26:21.840
Because if they care so much about adding a couple bucks to the minimum wage, even though
00:26:27.600
the vast majority of American workers are not minimum wage workers, this is something that
00:26:33.680
you're doing for teenagers who are living at home. Those are the people making minimum wage,
00:26:38.320
especially the ones that are making minimum wage. There are not very many working adults who
00:26:45.200
are making minimum wage for any extended period of time. So that's what we have to do for working
00:26:52.340
people is raise the minimum wage, which will only help if it helps anyone at all. And ultimately,
00:26:56.500
it doesn't even help the people it's supposed to help because they're going to get fired and
00:26:58.740
replaced by the automated machines at McDonald's and all that kind of stuff. But if it helps anyone
00:27:03.240
at all, it's a small sliver of gas prices, though. That is a significant suffering you're inflicting
00:27:09.140
on all working people. And they don't care about that. All right, this is from NPR. The Senate,
00:27:16.860
once again, showing how much they care about people, unanimously passed a bill on Monday that
00:27:21.440
criminalizes lynching and makes it... I can't even get past the first sentence from NPR.
00:27:28.220
A bill that criminalizes lynching and makes it punishable by up to 30 years in prison.
00:27:37.640
What? So that's what it is now? Before it was, we're making it a hate crime.
00:27:41.820
Now it... So it wasn't a crime before? It's not even that it wasn't a hate crime before. That
00:27:46.740
was what they originally thought. Now they're telling us that they had to pass the bill because
00:27:49.660
it wasn't even a crime. Did you know that? Before they passed this bill, you could just go out and
00:27:53.700
lynch anybody. And the cops would walk by and say, oh, you just lynched someone? Okay.
00:27:59.500
That apparently it was not a crime. The bill sailed through the House of Representatives last
00:28:06.160
month and President Biden is expected to sign it. While it eased through both chambers of Congress,
00:28:10.140
this time with virtually no opposition, the path to passage took more than 100 years and 200 failed
00:28:14.140
attempts. Senator Tim Scott, Republican, was very excited about this and wanted to take credit for it.
00:28:22.100
He said, tonight the Senate passed my anti-lynching legislation, taking a necessary and long overdue
00:28:27.840
step toward a more unified and just America. After working on this issue for years, I'm glad to have
00:28:33.180
partnered with colleagues on both sides of the aisle to finally get this done. You know, there are plenty
00:28:38.740
of conservatives you hear from who for some reason want Tim Scott. They see him as the future of the
00:28:46.220
Republican Party. They want him to run in 2024. Tim Scott is the definition of a milquetoast establishment
00:28:57.420
Republican. And it's not any different. Oh, but he's black though. So we run him, right? And then
00:29:04.340
we'll outsmart the left and they won't be able to criticize him. Because we know how well that worked
00:29:10.280
with Clarence Thomas. Go check in with Candace Owens and find out how much your skin color covers
00:29:16.780
you from the left criticizing you. But Tim Scott, I mean, there's no reason to single him out. I
00:29:21.680
single him out because he singled himself out and took credit for this ridiculous, empty, pointless
00:29:26.480
virtue signaling that they're engaging in when there are real problems in the world and Americans are
00:29:30.400
actually suffering. And they're not suffering from being lynched because nobody's been lynched in this
00:29:33.820
country for 40 years. And even when, when they were lynched, it was already a crime multiple times
00:29:38.520
over. But this is what they're, uh, this is what they're, they're focusing on. And every Republican
00:29:44.640
in the Senate voted for it. You know, every single one there between the house and the Senate,
00:29:50.820
there were three Republicans, Thomas Massey being one of them, um, who, who said, we're not going to go
00:29:58.160
along with this. And he explained his reasons, which is, is that the bill is totally unnecessary.
00:30:04.120
It is already a crime to lynch people. You're already going to prison, potentially worse than
00:30:09.900
that. If anything, the irony is with this, because they're saying that it's up to 30 years in prison.
00:30:16.100
Well, prior to this, if you actually lynched someone, you were guaranteed to life in prison
00:30:22.540
at a minimum. That's premeditated first degree murder. So this, if any, if this accomplishes
00:30:30.180
anything, if it changes the way that lynching is handled by the courts, it just makes the penalty
00:30:35.680
lighter than it was before. Um, so that's one reason not to support it. Totally unnecessary.
00:30:45.380
Lynching is already a crime. And if you're lynching someone, as I, as I pointed out last week,
00:30:50.220
if you're lynching someone, which no one has done in 40 years, but if you're the first person in 40
00:30:54.340
years to do this, then, and you're lynching someone for racial reasons, which is what this
00:30:58.120
is really focused on. You have committed first degree murder. So you're going to jail for the
00:31:01.900
rest of your life for that. And that's already a hate crime. So this bill does not change a damn
00:31:08.600
thing. The only reason why this bill was, um, written in the first place and pushed through
00:31:16.740
is again, empty, pointless virtue signaling, because this is what the people in charge of
00:31:21.340
our country are interested in right now. And also to, to help enforce the narrative
00:31:27.680
that, uh, we are a systemically racist country because when people hear about the anti-lynching
00:31:32.920
law, the stupid people out there, you know, the kinds of people, by the way, who hear about the
00:31:37.500
so-called don't say gay bill and say, Oh, so you mean that in Florida, you, if you say the word
00:31:44.040
gay, there's alarms are going to go off and there's going to be, uh, you know,
00:31:48.840
cops are going to rappel down from helicopters and execute you on the spot and throw you into a fire.
00:31:55.200
Um, the same people who buy that, we think that it's actually illegal now in this whole state of
00:31:59.620
Florida to say the word gay are the same ones who, when they hear about this legislation,
00:32:02.940
they say, Oh my gosh. So it was legal to lynch people this whole time.
00:32:08.860
And if we needed this bill so much, that means that must mean that people were getting lynched
00:32:13.040
all the time. I've never seen it myself ever, or heard of such a thing ever, but it must be
00:32:19.400
happening. So that's what it was meant to do. Virtue signaling and a narrative of systemic racism
00:32:26.380
and every Republican in the Senate went along with it. That's cowardice. Here's courage. Um,
00:32:33.920
from the daily wire, JK Rowling slammed a new transgender bill that would lower the age at
00:32:38.700
which a person can legally change their gender to, um, uh, from 18 to 16, a move that she said
00:32:44.760
will hurt the most vulnerable women in our society. The first minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon
00:32:49.260
introduced a gender recognition reform bill that allows a trans person to legally change their gender
00:32:55.380
and receive a new birth certificate with their gender on it through easier means than before.
00:32:59.200
Um, the author said the law on Nicola Sturgeon's trying to pass in Scotland will harm the most
00:33:05.220
vulnerable women in society, those seeking help after male violence slash rape and incarcerated
00:33:09.220
women. Um, statistics show that in prison, women are already far more likely to have been previously
00:33:13.940
abused. Um, Rowling followed up her post noting that multiple women's groups have presented well-sourced
00:33:21.080
evidence to Nicola Sturgeon's government about the likely negative consequences of this legislation
00:33:25.140
for women and girls, especially the most vulnerable. And as we know, JK Rowling has been on
00:33:29.040
this sort of, um, crusade. And I say that in the most positive way possible, um, for a long time.
00:33:35.860
And as she was going back and forth about this on Twitter, someone hit her with the thing that I'm
00:33:41.020
very familiar with, which is, uh, the old, uh, are you sure you want to die on this hill?
00:33:46.340
And a woman by the name of Wanda said to JK Rowling, you really want your legacy to die on this hill,
00:33:51.720
JK Rowling? And Rowling responded, yes, sweetheart, I'm staying right here on this hill, defending the right
00:33:56.740
of women and girls to talk about themselves, their bodies and their lives in any way they damn well
00:34:00.420
please. You worry about your legacy. I'll worry about mine. Um, I mean, this, this is real courage
00:34:06.840
from, from JK Rowling and I'll always give her credit for it. Even though if she were ever made
00:34:11.540
aware of who I am, she would probably hate my guts and disagree with everything that I say,
00:34:14.880
except on the topic of gender. And even on the topic of gender, she probably disagree with most of
00:34:19.580
what I say, because she's not even taking the position that transgenderism itself is, uh, is
00:34:25.180
sort of like incoherent. Um, at least she's not openly taking that position. She's taking a much
00:34:30.300
more minimalist approach to this and really focusing on the ways that, you know, women,
00:34:35.520
the children are indoctrinated into it. Uh, you know, the way women's sports teams are being invaded,
00:34:41.260
locker rooms and prisons and that sort of thing. But even that minimalist approach to this issue
00:34:46.640
will still put you in line for an unimaginable avalanche of hatred and outrage, especially if
00:34:53.780
you're someone like JK Rowling, as famous as she is and famous, not, um, in, you know,
00:34:59.820
conservative media, but famous mainstream having cultivated this fan base. Um, many of whom,
00:35:07.820
you know, are leftists and she has chosen just because she believes in this issue. She has chosen to,
00:35:13.880
yeah, she's got a billion dollars, but she's chosen to do something that's going to alienate
00:35:18.540
many of her fans. It's going to hurt her career prospects going forward. And it's going to detract
00:35:24.080
from her bottom line. And I guarantee it already has. Um, and even if you have a billion dollars,
00:35:29.400
I mean, even if you have money and power, we've seen that it takes courage to do that. And that is
00:35:33.680
courage that almost no one in our culture has to do something because it's the right thing,
00:35:41.260
knowing that you will not benefit from it in any way. You're not going to benefit financially.
00:35:48.100
You're not going to benefit with more fame. I mean, JK Rowling can't get more famous than she
00:35:52.000
already was. You're not going to benefit by all the applause and adulation you receive
00:35:56.880
because instead you're going to be mocked and jeered. Almost no one has the courage for that.
00:36:02.960
JK Rowling on this issue has vastly more courage than almost every elected Republican
00:36:11.300
in the country and almost every prominent conservative in the country as well.
00:36:19.140
More courage even than the guy who runs CPAC. And we'll talk about that in the daily cancellation.
00:36:22.660
Come on up in a minute. Um, okay. What else do we got here? So, uh, from the daily wire,
00:36:29.040
it says more than a hundred million U S uh, households or 61% of all American taxpayers
00:36:34.360
paid no federal income taxes in 2021. According to a report from the tax policy center,
00:36:40.000
one Republican Senator says that's simply not okay. Demanding that all Americans should have
00:36:44.160
some skin in the game. Senator Rick Scott of Florida, unlike most members of GOP has no problem
00:36:48.340
urging tax increases. Last month, the Senator unveiled a plan that said all Americans should pay
00:36:53.940
some income tax to have skin in the game. Even if a small amount currently over half of
00:36:58.740
Americans pay no income tax. Um, and so he's actually trying to raise the income tax rate,
00:37:04.600
um, so that everyone at least is, or not even really raise the rate, but increase the number
00:37:11.360
of people who are paying income tax. And here's the way I look at that because we are, and it is
00:37:17.840
important to point this out because we're always told how, you know, the rich people aren't paying
00:37:22.080
their fair share and everything. But when it comes to the income tax, in fact, the rich people are
00:37:25.660
paying almost everything. Okay. They're paying almost everything. And then you've got a huge
00:37:30.560
swath of the American public that pays no federal income tax at all. Now I'm in favor. So this is
00:37:37.040
kind of an awkward issue for me because I, you know, I have two views on this that may seem to be
00:37:43.700
intention, but I think actually they're not. I'm in favor of abolishing the IRS. I can't imagine how
00:37:49.720
anyone could not be in favor of that. Um, get rid of the income tax. And then we can focus on,
00:37:56.240
you know, consumption taxes, other kinds of taxes to not make up for all of the income tax
00:38:01.260
that's being taken away because the government already brings in, you know, three to $4 trillion
00:38:06.880
and they waste a huge amount of it. So they're bringing in way too much money as it is. I'm in
00:38:14.480
favor of getting rid of the income tax. I think ideally, you know, in the perfect world,
00:38:18.820
you get rid of the income tax and you replace it with nothing. So that's a 40% or so of the
00:38:24.920
government's income that you're taking away and saying now make do with the 60%, which,
00:38:31.720
which means you still have, you know, trillions to, to play around with and to waste.
00:38:38.180
So that ultimately is what I would like to say. I'm against the federal income tax completely.
00:38:41.720
I'm against income taxes in general. I mean, I have a philosophical problem with the idea
00:38:46.360
that the government can just take its, a portion of your income can come in and with the withholding
00:38:54.360
system that they can come in and take it before you even get your hands on it. So they take what
00:39:00.980
they want of your income and then give you the remainder. And if they take too much, then they hold
00:39:05.560
onto it for a year and give you back the, the, the extra without any interest at all. I've got a big
00:39:11.340
problem with that. But if we're going to have the income tax, um, then everyone should be taking
00:39:20.880
part in it. If we're going to have it, then there should be some real equality here. Kind of the way
00:39:25.200
I feel about hate crime laws. I don't think hate crime laws should exist. I don't think that should
00:39:29.700
be a category that exists, but if you're going to have them, then they should be applied equally.
00:39:33.980
So I'd say the same thing with, uh, hate crimes. Finally, uh, important story here that I've had,
00:39:40.820
haven't had a chance to mention from a variety says Harvey Weinstein was caught with contraband
00:39:46.180
milk duds in November, prompting a reprimand from LA County jail guards. According to records
00:39:51.080
viewed by variety, the milk duds were found during a search on November 10th after Weinstein had a
00:39:55.840
face-to-face meeting with one of his attorneys. And apparently they, uh, they smuggled in the milk
00:40:00.520
duds and Weinstein had to apologize officially to the court. He said, this was an innocent
00:40:04.460
misunderstanding. It will not happen again. I've been a model inmate following the rules and
00:40:08.620
regulations, and I'm sincerely sorry. The only reason that I'm bringing this up, wait, why am I
00:40:14.540
bringing this up? I have no idea. Well, because why like taking that risk for milk duds, that's my
00:40:19.100
only problem here. There are a selection of candies that I would try to sneak into prison as contraband
00:40:25.340
risking my freedom for. Um, milk duds don't make the list. That list is Mike and Ikes, Snickers,
00:40:34.100
gourmet jelly beans, not the big ones. Okay. But the, the small gourmet ones, um, Milky Wade bar,
00:40:41.500
I'll throw in a Twix. That's what I'm risking my freedom for. Milk duds, repulsive and shameful.
00:40:48.300
Harvey Weinstein. You should be ashamed for a lot of reasons, but you know, that is certainly among them.
00:40:51.960
And let's get now to the comment section. Okay. Dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments.
00:41:09.580
We're going to try this. I don't know why. Um, let's go to clip 10.
00:41:15.200
Hey Matt, my name's Jonah. I'm the co-creator of the honorary mentioned SBG anthem. You're playing in
00:41:20.900
the background. I come bearing a very important message from delegates of the sweet baby game.
00:41:29.900
Hi, not Jen Ledger here. It's your boy Asian glow, AKA sweet baby glow.
00:41:34.480
My name is Zangtar, queen of the moon. My name is Amanda. And my preferred pronouns are Texan
00:41:39.940
and sometimes pirate. My preferred pronouns are we and shopping bag. My preferred pronouns are
00:41:46.540
and a long, awkward silence, no less than four seconds long.
00:41:55.500
Sweet Daddy Wash, when are you joining the sweet baby gang Facebook group?
00:41:59.260
Why haven't you joined the Facebook group yet? We're waiting for you. Your sweet babies need you.
00:42:04.700
I'm cordially inviting you to join the loyalists of your sweet babies.
00:42:11.480
You have like one week and then I'm done with it and all of my shopping carts are going directly
00:42:19.800
Till then, we'll be crawling aimlessly through the metaverse.
00:42:28.640
You can see how hard I'm trying to grow a beard and it's not working out well.
00:42:37.260
Daddy, I'm Hudson Little, admin of the Sweet Baby Gang Facebook chapter.
00:42:45.780
So, what's happened here, basically, is that the video comments have become really nothing more
00:43:01.180
I find it offensive, first of all, because you know that I'm not, I'm opposed to trolling.
00:43:09.060
And frankly, I thought that when we started doing the video comment feature,
00:43:12.980
all of you guys would send in really intelligent videos where you're sitting in like fancy chairs
00:43:17.900
smoking a pipe and pontificating eloquently about, you know, like quantum physics or whatever.
00:43:27.700
I can't make the show any smarter because I'm stupid.
00:43:30.580
So, what I need is other people to have really smart content that I could just put into the show.
00:43:39.420
Make us all seem smarter and elevate the entire experience.
00:43:50.880
And no, I'm not going to join the Facebook group.
00:43:54.220
I didn't even know that I had a Facebook group.
00:44:01.120
Captain Criticized says, Matt, I have to correct you.
00:44:03.980
There is, in fact, another type of body shaming that is even more prevalent and permissible in our society than thin shaming.
00:44:09.780
Shaming men's height is widely known in exercise, especially by fat women who really don't have any room to talk, probably because they take up all the room.
00:44:19.440
Again, you know, just like trolling, any kind of jokes about weight and side, we don't do that on this show.
00:44:28.380
You actually raise a good point because that is true.
00:44:31.240
And that's why we know all the talk about body shaming and everything.
00:44:34.800
It's all completely empty because that is one form of actual body shaming that people do all the time.
00:44:42.680
And there's not a lot of – it doesn't get a lot of press.
00:44:45.940
And there's a few reasons for that, but one of them is that, again, the body positivity, anti-body shaming stuff is always focused on women.
00:44:55.740
And so, you know, women might get made fun of a little bit for being short, but that's not nearly as common.
00:45:00.380
Women in general are shorter, and you could be a woman on the shorter side, and it's not really going to cause a lot of problems for you.
00:45:06.060
But as a man, you know, it could create some serious problems.
00:45:09.560
So, one of the problems being, as much as we were told yesterday by the woman that we played in the Daily Cancellation that, you know, women are much more enlightened in their sexual attraction.
00:45:18.840
Well, a lot of women, they're not going to go for a shorter guy, you know.
00:45:23.280
So, that's why I don't think it gets the same amount of presses because it's something – that's something that affects men, and this only goes around women.
00:45:32.060
Because also, the other thing that we're told is, like, well, only women are ever body shamed.
00:45:35.840
Men don't have to deal with that, which, of course, is completely ridiculous.
00:45:39.560
Don Lee says, thank you, Matt Walsh, for not singing Imagine today, like Michael and Ben, SBG for life.
00:45:56.820
I would have thought it was a joke, except that there was another comment that mentioned this occurrence as well.
00:46:04.520
I leave the state, and this is – and all hell breaks loose.
00:46:09.560
If so, then, needless to say, they're both banned from the Daily Wire.
00:46:15.680
Ben Shapiro is fired because I have that authority.
00:46:19.660
We have just a little over 24 hours until we get to the premiere of our next big hit, The Hyperions.
00:46:26.080
The film is exactly what entertainment in Hollywood is missing these days.
00:46:30.280
And it couldn't care less about your pronouns or your politics because when it comes to entertainment, it's just about having fun.
00:46:48.740
This Titan badge can grant an individual superhuman power.
00:46:52.260
Perhaps it's time for someone else to take on the responsibility.
00:47:05.200
The Hyperions is a dysfunctional family film with throwback vibes, and it's 100% worth the stream.
00:47:17.780
We'll be streaming the film once on March 10th for all of YouTube.
00:47:21.100
That's the last time we're going to be premiering a movie on YouTube.
00:47:23.360

00:47:35.200
So Matt Schlapp is an influential and powerful figure in conservative politics.
00:47:44.600
He's the chair of the American Conservative Union, which organizes and hosts CPAC each year.
00:47:49.720
CPAC, of course, is the largest annual gathering of conservatives.
00:47:53.940
What are the conservatives at CPAC or running CPAC trying to conserve, though?
00:47:59.520
I mean, that's always the question that we face as conservatives.
00:48:02.340
And I know how I answer it, but I'm wondering about Matt's answer today after this tweet from him, from the head of CPAC, referring to Leah Thomas, the male swimmer who competes against women.
00:48:14.860
Schlapp said, no matter what one thinks of Leah's ability to swim with women, her story deserves our compassion.
00:48:22.300
It will be interesting to hear Leah's point of view in 30 years.
00:48:25.240
Now, Schlapp continued a little bit later in response to criticism from another conservative named Jenna Ellis.
00:48:32.140
Schlapp said, Jenna, all I'm saying is, in the end, trans people deserve our love and compassion.
00:48:36.980
We should defend girl sports against competing with men aggressively.
00:48:39.460
But in the end, remember that all people deserve respect.
00:48:42.560
If showing decency makes you boycott CPAC, I'm good with it.
00:48:45.320
But a few minutes later, he followed up and said, Jenna, this is a fake or a false controversy.
00:48:49.720
You're upset with CPAC because we didn't invite you to speak.
00:48:53.020
We score the bills aimed at protecting girl sports and our kids from gender confusion and indoctrination.
00:48:57.400
I don't wish to normalize it, but simply just deal with it with compassion.
00:49:01.880
OK, so there are a few different things going on here, all of them embarrassing for Matt Schlapp.
00:49:05.620
The first is that he's resorting to the classic tactic of weak minds by refusing to engage with the criticism and instead impugning the motives of the person who is making the criticism.
00:49:16.120
Now, I don't know if Jenna is upset that she wasn't invited to CPAC, but whether she is or isn't, that is little bearing on the conversation.
00:49:23.740
And Schlapp also hammers this point about compassion.
00:49:26.460
This is the shield that people hide behind to excuse their apathy and their acquiescence.
00:49:32.520
Trans people deserve love and compassion, he says.
00:49:36.560
Well, yes, they deserve love and compassion to the same degree that we as Christians are called to have love and compassion for everyone.
00:49:45.040
By repeating this talking point, Schlapp is implicitly advancing the leftist narrative that criticism of the trans agenda is born out of hatred towards trans people personally.
00:49:53.400
It's about on level with saying that, you know, you must hate black people if you criticize BLM.
00:49:58.900
This is what we're getting from the guy who runs CPAC.
00:50:00.860
And how do we show love and compassion to trans people or to anyone else?
00:50:06.440
Do we express love and compassion by cooperating with delusion, by surrendering to lies, by agreeing with falsehoods?
00:50:12.760
No, there's no love or compassion absent of truth.
00:50:19.100
There's also no love or compassion absent of justice and fairness.
00:50:27.160
The other truth is that he is knowingly putting his own desires ahead of the rights of the girls that he is exploiting.
00:50:34.240
He's also exposing himself to them in the locker room, knowing that they're uncomfortable with it.
00:50:40.160
Justice demands that we condemn sick and perverse behavior like that.
00:50:46.460
A man who walks into a woman's locker room and disrobes, that behavior should be condemned.
00:50:52.460
Justice, which is both loving and compassionate, calls us to defend the girls against Thomas, not Thomas against the girls.
00:51:02.340
And what about the girls who are the actual victims here?
00:51:05.160
Schlapp chose to focus on the dudes stealing the medals and trophies and sexually harassing them in the locker room rather than focus on the women he's victimizing.
00:51:14.220
He cries for compassion for one, ignoring the other.
00:51:18.640
And actually, it's worse than that because he didn't say that Leah Thomas himself deserves compassion.
00:51:23.400
He said that his story, or rather her story, as he put it, deserves compassion.
00:51:28.920
The story of Leah Thomas is what Leah Thomas is doing, right?
00:51:35.380
I'm not exactly sure how one can have compassion for a story, but I assume that it means being understanding, you know, tolerant, accepting.
00:51:45.380
I am none of those things when it comes to Leah Thomas' behavior.
00:51:48.480
Far from understanding or tolerant, we ought to be angry.
00:51:51.400
That's the appropriate and morally healthy response to selfish, deranged, destructive behavior.
00:51:56.380
You know, we hear a lot about how there's so much anger in the country today and people are too angry with stopping angry.
00:52:03.200
I think our problem is, you know, really almost precisely the opposite of that.
00:52:09.020
There should be a lot more anger than there is.
00:52:17.380
And there are a lot of people pretending to be angry about things that they're not really angry about.
00:52:20.640
There are people who notice things that ought to make them angry and they pretend to be angry, but they aren't really.
00:52:26.380
And you know that based on what they're saying and how they're engaging with it and how quickly they move on from these things.
00:52:33.380
You should, the story of someone like Leah Thomas, should instinctively fill you with anger towards him.
00:52:46.620
And if it's not, then there's a deeper problem going on within you.
00:52:52.120
But the misappropriation of the word compassion is not the biggest problem here.
00:52:55.640
The biggest problem, and the thing that Schlapp tried to paper over in his follow-up tweets, is that he referred to Thomas, a male, as her.
00:53:06.380
Because as soon as you start playing the preferred pronoun game, you've forfeited reality.
00:53:16.780
If, in submission to the left, you're going to refer to men as women and women as men, then what else is there to argue about?
00:53:23.020
Are you going to draw the line somewhere else after you've already abandoned objective reality?
00:53:35.920
Not only is the pronoun thing a hill worth dying on, as J.K. Rowling says, there's rarely been a hill more worth dying on.
00:53:45.840
You know, many conservatives now, Schlapp included, have run screaming from this hill, dropping their swords and their banners, and fleeing off into the forest.
00:53:55.960
Only they'll later find some smaller little mound in the shadow of the big hill where they can pretend to make their principled stand.
00:54:03.720
But it's too late for that, because you've surrendered objective truth.
00:54:09.580
Now, Schlapp, in damage control mode, has tried to backtrack from most of this.
00:54:14.620
The Daily Wire reports, quote, in a Tuesday afternoon statement, Schlapp promised that CPAC believes in fiercely defending girls and women's sports at every level, including in state legislative chambers.
00:54:22.840
The left's war on gender must be confronted, and CPAC will continue doing just that, the statement said, and we will continue to demonstrate decency to all those involved.
00:54:30.120
His use of the pronoun her was, quote, not an intentional statement one way or another, Schlapp said in a late afternoon phone interview with Daily Wire.
00:54:38.060
I was just quickly responding in a tweet, he said.
00:54:50.380
Actually, the unintentional excuse makes it worse.
00:54:56.040
Because if Schlapp is at the point of, you know, where he unconsciously calls men her,
00:55:03.880
if that's where he's at now, then he's even farther gone than it first appeared.
00:55:14.540
It is a very unnatural and awkward thing to use the word her when referring to a dude.
00:55:20.340
A person may get to the point where they utilize the preferred pronoun without thinking about it,
00:55:25.560
but that means that they've been totally conditioned by the left.
00:55:36.420
Or was he making the deliberate and conscious choice to use language that affirms left-wing gender ideology?
00:55:46.600
Either way, we must say that Matt Schlapp is today canceled.
