The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 904 - LGBT Witch Hosts 'Sexy Summer Camp' For Kids

00:00:00.000 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 0.91

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 0.94

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 0.98

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 0.79

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, 0.97

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. 0.80

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 0.94

00:09:05.360 drone. And you also notice how all of these women list their fatness, which first of all, 1.00

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 0.85

00:09:41.680 sexual deviants who prey upon children. Speaking of which, one of these deviants, the leader, the head 0.98

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. 0.99

00:10:06.060 You know, like, get down with yourself. Explore your own body. Masturbation is really healthy. 0.99

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. 0.58

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 1.00

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 0.69

00:11:10.140 always found a way anyway. Listen.

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 0.98

00:11:46.780 masturbate. Everyone does it. It's normal, she says. Even toddlers do it. Now, that's not true, 0.96

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? 0.96

00:12:03.640 I mean, leaving aside how creepy and gross that is, and the fact that this woman should be in jail, 1.00

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 0.60

00:12:29.700 walking up to a kid at the bus stop and asking the child if he masturbates, 0.99

00:12:32.680 we would label him a sex predator and we would throw him in prison. 0.99

00:12:36.840 Should the response be any different here? Of course not. But though this woman has run into 0.96

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 1.00

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. 0.98

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 0.74

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. 0.94

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 0.99

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 0.82

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 1.00

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. 0.98

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 1.00

00:20:11.000 refugee camps set up on sidewalks. Our border essentially doesn't exist. So I can think of 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.91

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. 1.00

00:21:56.660 You can go to hell. The Ukrainians, they're the ones who matter. So our politicians are walking 1.00

00:22:01.240 around the Capitol with Ukrainian flags on, flying the Ukrainian flag because they're the ones who 1.00

00:22:07.380 matter. As for ordinary Americans, go to hell. Just pay more. Stop whining. Your country is being 1.00

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 0.98

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 0.86

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 0.91

00:29:26.480 virtue signaling that they're engaging in when there are real problems in the world and Americans are 0.75

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 0.99

00:31:32.920 law, the stupid people out there, you know, the kinds of people, by the way, who hear about the 0.99

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 1.00

00:31:44.040 gay, there's alarms are going to go off and there's going to be, uh, you know, 0.99

00:31:48.840 cops are going to rappel down from helicopters and execute you on the spot and throw you into a fire. 0.95

00:31:55.200 Um, the same people who buy that, we think that it's actually illegal now in this whole state of 0.99

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. 0.82

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 0.99

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, 1.00

00:34:35.520 the children are indoctrinated into it. Uh, you know, the way women's sports teams are being invaded, 0.96

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 1.00

00:35:18.540 many of her fans. It's going to hurt her career prospects going forward. And it's going to detract 0.95

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 0.99

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. 0.87

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.

00:41:53.680 Now I have one question for you.

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.

00:42:03.380 And you're just letting us down.

00:42:04.700 I'm cordially inviting you to join the loyalists of your sweet babies.

00:42:07.860 So, what are you waiting for? Come on, man.

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

00:42:17.740 in the middle of the driving lane.

00:42:19.800 Till then, we'll be crawling aimlessly through the metaverse.

00:42:22.980 We made it again for that.

00:42:25.940 Also, give me credit here.

00:42:28.640 You can see how hard I'm trying to grow a beard and it's not working out well.

00:42:33.060 But that's my dedication.

00:42:34.960 So, it's your turn to step up.

00:42:37.260 Daddy, I'm Hudson Little, admin of the Sweet Baby Gang Facebook chapter.

00:42:41.320 And I approve this message.

00:42:45.780 So, what's happened here, basically, is that the video comments have become really nothing more

00:42:53.780 than a forum for my own listeners to troll me.

00:42:58.540 And I feel deeply betrayed.

00:43:01.180 I find it offensive, first of all, because you know that I'm not, I'm opposed to trolling.

00:43:05.500 Trolling is something that I would never do.

00:43:07.560 I oppose it in principle.

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.

00:43:24.400 I thought this would class the show up.

00:43:26.440 That was the idea. 1.00

00:43:27.700 I can't make the show any smarter because I'm stupid. 0.82

00:43:30.580 So, what I need is other people to have really smart content that I could just put into the show. 0.96

00:43:39.420 Make us all seem smarter and elevate the entire experience.

00:43:43.300 And instead, it's turned into this.

00:43:47.540 You know, nice editing, though, in that video.

00:43:49.120 I'll give them that.

00:43:50.880 And no, I'm not going to join the Facebook group.

00:43:53.220 I'm sorry to say.

00:43:54.220 I didn't even know that I had a Facebook group.

00:43:56.100 But I appreciate that I have it.

00:43:57.520 And thank you so much for that comment.

00:43:58.800 You're all banned from the show.

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. 0.90

00:44:18.420 I don't know.

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.

00:44:25.320 So, how dare you?

00:44:25.820 But, well, you're right, though, actually.

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.

00:44:45.120 Nobody's worried about it.

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. 0.80

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. 1.00

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. 0.66

00:45:18.840 Well, a lot of women, they're not going to go for a shorter guy, you know. 1.00

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. 0.88

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.

00:45:50.280 Is that – they both sang Imagine?

00:45:52.840 Is that what actually happened?

00:45:55.140 Is this a joke?

00:45:56.820 I would have thought it was a joke, except that there was another comment that mentioned this occurrence as well.

00:46:01.580 And I don't know what happened.

00:46:02.700 I'm out of the state right now.

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.

00:46:19.280 All right.

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.

00:46:28.780 It's not woke.

00:46:29.500 It has zero agenda.

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.

00:46:35.940 And that's what this movie is.

00:46:36.980 You can see it for yourself.

00:46:38.160 Check out the trailer.

00:46:39.400 Good day, Hyperion Club members.

00:46:44.700 We've come for one thing.

00:46:47.360 Our Titan badges.

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.

00:46:56.960 On my way.

00:47:03.800 She's trying to destroy me. 0.99

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 If you want to get any movie or any of our content after that, you've got to become a Daily Wire subscriber.

00:47:27.700 So head to dailywire.com slash subscribe so you don't miss out on any more of our content going forward.

00:47:32.880 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

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. 0.98

00:48:39.460 But in the end, remember that all people deserve respect.

00:48:41.600 Kind of simple.

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.

00:49:42.360 That's not news.

00:49:43.780 Nobody's saying otherwise.

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. 0.94

00:49:53.400 It's about on level with saying that, you know, you must hate black people if you criticize BLM. 0.80

00:49:58.900 This is what we're getting from the guy who runs CPAC. 0.83

00:50:00.860 And how do we show love and compassion to trans people or to anyone else? 0.55

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.

00:50:16.960 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.

00:50:23.540 The truth is that Leah Thomas is a man.

00:50:26.600 That's the truth.

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?

00:51:33.220 It's his actions, his behavior.

00:51:34.700 That's the story.

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. 0.93

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.

00:52:11.220 Most of what we call anger is performative.

00:52:15.080 It's not actually real.

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.

00:52:43.120 That should be your intuitive response.

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.

00:53:03.860 This, to me, is the unforgivable sin.

00:53:06.380 Because as soon as you start playing the preferred pronoun game, you've forfeited reality. 0.98

00:53:10.720 You've surrendered.

00:53:11.960 You've raised the white flag.

00:53:13.900 You've given up everything.

00:53:15.640 That's not an exaggeration.

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?

00:53:26.900 Where will that line be?

00:53:29.340 And where are you going to draw it?

00:53:31.840 You can't draw it in reality.

00:53:33.360 You've already given up on that.

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.

00:54:07.200 There's nothing else.

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.

00:54:42.300 Not an intentional statement?

00:54:44.620 But you wrote it.

00:54:46.300 Did you write it by accident?

00:54:47.800 Was the cat walking across your keyboard?

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.

00:55:10.580 He's been conditioned.

00:55:12.020 He's been brainwashed.

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.

00:55:28.060 Their natural reflexes have been rewired.

00:55:32.860 Now, is that what is happening here?

00:55:36.420 Or was he making the deliberate and conscious choice to use language that affirms left-wing gender ideology?

00:55:43.960 Either way, it's bad.

00:55:46.600 Either way, we must say that Matt Schlapp is today canceled.

00:55:50.960 And we'll leave it there.
