00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the What is a Woman movement makes it all the way to the Supreme Court

00:00:03.840 as Judge Jackson reveals that though she wants to be on the Supreme Court, she cannot answer

00:00:12.980 approach to child porn cases demonstrates. Talk about all that today. Plus, Governor DeSantis

00:00:17.320 declares the real winner of the race that Leah Thomas won by cheating. ESPN is now woke on

00:01:44.580 yesterday when Republicans made the bold and controversial decision to ask the judge about

00:01:49.720 her resume and her judicial philosophy, her rulings, her fundamental beliefs. Breaking from

00:01:55.320 recent tradition, they, for whatever reason, did not ask Jackson how many beers she drank in college,

00:02:00.760 nor did they inspect her high school yearbook for potential vulgarities. Democrats claim that

00:02:05.500 Jackson has been treated unfairly. One can only assume that this is what they mean. She's been

00:02:10.220 treated like a judge seeking the highest judicial appointment in the land and not like an alleged

00:02:15.040 criminal on trial by a kangaroo court. That's what essentially separates the way Republicans

00:02:19.920 handle these sorts of things from the way Democrats handle them. But of course, it's already known ahead

00:02:23.640 of time that any line of questioning directed at Jackson will be out of bounds and racist.

00:02:27.960 At least any questioning outside of questions like, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream? And

00:02:32.700 have you always been this wonderful? The left made that explicitly clear from the outset,

00:02:37.840 though they didn't need to be explicit. This is how the game is played according to the long

00:02:41.020 established rules. Yet, in spite of the inherent racism of demanding that a black woman explain 1.00

00:02:46.200 herself when all she wants to do is become a Supreme Court justice, there is, based on her record and

00:02:52.500 her worldview, quite a lot to explain. Many of the questions about Jackson and to her as well have

00:02:59.660 focused rightfully so on her lengthy history of leniency towards child sex predators, especially people 0.56

00:03:05.060 who consume child pornography, who are also child sex predators by definition. The RNC

00:03:10.800 research account lists several cases where Jackson passed down a sentence significantly below

00:03:15.980 federal sentencing guidelines. In fact, this is how she handled every child porn case she 1.00

00:03:22.060 encountered, every single one. She passed down a sentence below federal guidelines. So, for example,

00:03:26.900 in one case, a man who had images of eight-year-old children, pornographic images, was supposed to be

00:03:33.420 sentenced to 10 years, according to the guidelines. She gave him three months. In another, a predator

00:03:38.780 with 48 files of child porn on his computer was subject to 97 months in prison. Jackson cut that

00:03:45.160 into a third, giving him 28. In still another case, a pervert who posted a pornographic image of a

00:03:52.780 five-year-old was given by Jackson the lowest possible sentence allowed by the law, just 60 months.

00:03:58.600 Now, one thing you might take away from this is that the federal guidelines are far too lenient already.

00:04:04.880 I see no reason why child porn users and distributors should not be given mandatory life sentences.

00:04:12.640 It should be like a one-strike-and-you're-out kind of situation. These are not people we need in society.

00:04:18.300 You do something like that, it should be, okay, we don't need you in society. You're gone, and you're

00:04:23.600 never coming back. And yet, the soft guidelines were still not soft enough for Jackson, who seems to have

00:04:30.100 a soft spot in her heart for child sex perverts. Now, what can she say for herself to justify this? 0.96

00:04:36.100 Well, to explain at least one of these cases, she said that the lenient sentence was due in part to

00:04:41.200 the child predator's diplomas and certificates. Listen.

00:04:44.920 He presented all of his diplomas and certificates and the things that he had done and argued consistent

00:04:55.780 with what I was seeing in the record that this particular defendant had gotten into this in a way

00:05:04.600 that was, I thought, inconsistent with some of the other cases that I had seen. Part of what a judge is

00:05:11.320 doing, as required by Congress, is thinking about this case, thinking about unwarranted sentencing

00:05:24.260 disparities, that's in the statute, other cases, other determinations that a judge may have made

00:05:31.260 about this. I don't remember in detail this particular case, but I do recall it being unusual.

00:05:39.080 Now, at another point, she argued that her lighter touch on this issue has sometimes been due to the

00:05:46.540 disparities in the system and the fact that the federal guidelines for child porn sentencing were

00:05:51.340 first established back when child porn users had to obtain images through the mail. And this, for some

00:05:56.420 reason, is significant, and it means that sometimes the sentence should be lighter than the guidelines

00:06:00.540 allow. Let's listen to that.

00:06:01.920 As you said, the guideline was based originally on a statutory scheme and on directives, specific

00:06:11.420 directives by Congress at a time in which more serious child pornography offenders were identified

00:06:21.400 based on the volume, based on the number of photographs that they received in the mail.

00:06:28.160 And that made totally, total sense before when we didn't have the internet, when we didn't have

00:06:34.180 distribution. But the way that the guideline is now structured based on that set of circumstances

00:06:40.380 is leading to extreme disparities in the system because it's so easy for people to get volumes of this

00:06:51.040 kind of material now by computers. So it's not doing the work of differentiating who is a more serious

00:07:00.100 offender in the way that it used to. So the commission has taken that into account, and perhaps even more

00:07:07.360 importantly, courts are adjusting their sentences in order to account for the changed circumstances. But it

00:07:15.160 says nothing about the court's view of the seriousness of this offense.

00:07:21.480 So the argument is that punishing someone for each image they obtain was fair back when they had to have the images

00:07:27.060 mailed to them. But now that it's so easy to get hundreds of images at once, it's not fair. That's the argument.

00:07:32.760 And it's a very, very bad argument. And you know it's a bad argument because over on CNN, infamous public

00:07:38.840 masturbator Jeffrey Toobin was agreeing with it. It seems that Toobin, having already displayed his tube 0.85

00:07:44.800 on a Zoom call, is now incapable of experiencing any further shame or embarrassment. Either that or he

00:07:49.720 enjoys it, the freak. Whatever his reasons, Toobin, with his hand suspiciously out of view, said this.

00:07:56.740 Can I just add one point about these kiddie porn cases? And this came up, I remember, when I was an

00:08:02.900 assistant U.S. attorney back in the 90s, is that when those sentencing guidelines were written for those cases,

00:08:11.300 this was a time when the people who committed these crimes would order individual photos and then get them

00:08:21.240 usually through email. And then they would be sentenced based on the number of photos

00:08:27.860 they possessed. This was all pre-internet. So once the internet came in and people got access to

00:08:37.380 hundreds and then thousands of photos, the sentencing guidelines would reflect hundreds and then

00:08:43.460 thousands of photos. Federal judges have been struggling with the issue of how do you create

00:08:48.780 a fair system that was designed pre-internet that was, yet you have to sentence people post-internet.

00:08:56.540 And what I thought Chairman Durbin pointed out is that judges across the country, including

00:09:02.900 Republican-appointed judges, have been saying, look, we can't apply the rules

00:09:08.920 that were designed pre-internet for an internet society. And many judges have been giving somewhat

00:09:17.320 less sentences as a result.

00:09:19.440 Now, far be it for me to get into an argument with the sort of man who doesn't wear 0.73

00:09:25.020 pants to a work meeting, especially when the argument is about pornography. But,

00:09:30.200 you know, I'm not convinced by this reasoning. If anything, it seems clear to me the sentences

00:09:34.480 should be harsher now because of the ease of access. It's exactly the reason that they're

00:09:40.400 calling for lighter sentences. That's why there should be harsher sentences, because it necessitates

00:09:45.000 a greater level of deterrence. It means that we must make an even more drastic example out of each

00:09:50.600 offender because of how easy this stuff is to obtain. The message from society should be,

00:09:58.120 we find a file of child porn on your computer and you're done forever. Your life is over.

00:10:03.220 Yet both Jackson and Toobin believe that the more crime, the more that this crime proliferates,

00:10:08.020 the more common it becomes, the less we should penalize it. Now, one might wish that this is

00:10:15.120 about as weird as things would get, but Judge Jackson is, at bottom, a leftist. And that means

00:10:20.340 that the moral bewilderment and intellectual incoherence goes much deeper. I mean, this is

00:10:24.700 a woman who is tragically confused, not just about the concept of justice, already a troubling source

00:10:29.460 of confusion for a judge, but also about the basic realities of life, including what life even is

00:10:35.700 and when life begins. And as to that question, here was her answer. Listen.

00:10:40.620 When does life begin, in your opinion?

00:10:45.320 Senator, um, I don't know.

00:10:53.040 Now, there's, of course, no excuse for not being able to answer that question. The only sensible

00:10:57.900 starting point for life is the moment when you come into existence as a distinct human entity,

00:11:02.780 otherwise known as conception. Any other starting point that you might choose will be necessarily

00:11:08.300 arbitrary. There's only one solid, firm, sensible starting point, which is conception. But here's

00:11:15.020 the thing. If she really doesn't know when life begins, then that's all the more reason to be 0.99

00:11:21.680 stridently pro-life and anti-abortion. Because by Jackson's own words, as far as she knows,

00:11:28.140 abortion might well be the murder of human life. I mean, if she doesn't know when life begins, 1.00

00:11:33.280 then she cannot say that abortion does not murder, destroy human life. According to her,

00:11:40.880 the abortion industry may well have murdered 60 million human lives since Roe v. Wade.

00:11:46.880 Now, I know for a fact, not that it may well have murdered 60 million human lives, but that it did.

00:11:52.340 But in order to get to the pro-life, anti-abortion conclusion, you don't even need to go that far.

00:12:02.840 The maybe, the might, the I don't know, if you're a rational and moral person, that should be enough

00:12:09.320 to get you to the anti-abortion conclusion. Because if it's possible, even if it's even possible 0.66

00:12:17.160 that this mass genocide is happening, if it's a 50-50 toss-up, as she seems to think,

00:12:22.580 then the only moral and defensible position to take is one of treating the unborn child as human

00:12:27.420 life. To return to an analogy that I've made before, supporting abortion when you don't know

00:12:32.880 when life begins, it's like tossing a live grenade into a room when you don't know if there's anybody

00:12:37.700 in there or not. You know, it is at best morally incoherent to say, I don't know when life begins,

00:12:44.200 but I support abortion anyway. Speaking of incoherent, nothing, of course, can top this.

00:12:52.000 Do you agree with Justice Ginsburg that there are physical differences between men and women

00:12:59.120 that are enduring?

00:13:05.480 Senator, respectfully, I am not familiar with that particular quote or case, so it's hard for me to

00:13:15.000 comment as to whether or not.

00:13:17.080 All right. I'd love to get your opinion on that, and you can submit that.

00:13:23.140 Do you interpret Justice Ginsburg's meaning of men and women as male and female?

00:13:31.860 Again, because I don't know the case, I don't know how I interpret it. I need to read the whole thing.

00:13:38.080 Can you provide a definition for the word woman?

00:13:43.440 Can I provide a definition? No.

00:13:45.500 Yeah.

00:13:46.580 I can't.

00:13:48.280 You can't?

00:13:49.060 Not in this context. I'm not a biologist.

00:13:54.140 So you believe the meaning of the word woman is so unclear and controversial that you can't give me

00:13:58.960 a definition?

00:14:00.780 Senator, in my work as a judge, what I do is I address disputes. If there's a dispute about

00:14:09.760 a definition, people make arguments, and I look at the law, and I decide.

00:14:14.680 I think we can officially now say that the what is a woman movement has begun. When I started asking 0.87

00:14:21.040 this question years ago, I dreamed, I honestly dreamed of a moment just like this, where someone

00:14:26.940 like this is asked a question like that, very simple, in this sort of context. Because as we

00:14:33.100 witnessed there, the whole house of cards comes tumbling down under the very meager weight of one

00:14:38.820 extremely simple question. And the irony here is so rich, so grand, that it's almost impossible to

00:14:46.520 fully appreciate and wrap your arms around. We've been breathlessly told that we should celebrate

00:14:51.500 Jackson's nomination precisely because she's a black woman. But Jackson herself can't even tell

00:14:58.080 us what a woman is. How can we celebrate the nomination of a woman if the people telling us to 0.98

00:15:03.640 celebrate it can't define the word? So they say, celebrate her. Well, why? Because she's a woman, 1.00

00:15:09.340 damn it. What's that? I don't know. Well, okay, then let me go get the champagne. 1.00

00:15:16.460 Of course, Jackson's dodge is that she's not a biologist. But saying you can't define woman

00:15:22.580 without a biology degree, it's like saying that you can't solve for five plus five without a degree

00:15:27.940 in mathematics. It's like saying you can't define the word car if you're not a mechanic, or fish if

00:15:32.820 you're not a marine biologist. It's like saying you have to be a world-class artist to explain what

00:15:38.760 a crayon is. This is all a bunch of unintelligible, irrational, rambling nonsense. 0.98

00:15:46.440 Now, is the fact that Jackson doesn't know what a woman is relevant to her job? Well, yes. I would

00:15:53.880 think it's quite relevant to a Supreme Court justice and their job to know whether they have a basic grasp

00:15:59.280 on reality. And it's relevant for another reason. Because we all know that obviously she knows what

00:16:07.700 a woman is. She knows the answer to the question. She's not that stupid. I mean, if she doesn't know,

00:16:14.860 then she is, without a doubt, the dumbest Supreme Court nominee in the history of the United States. 1.00

00:16:21.700 She is the dumbest person to ever even be considered for the job. 1.00

00:16:26.040 And should be disqualified on those grounds alone. 1.00

00:16:30.680 But I'm going to give her more credit than that. I don't think she's nearly that stupid. There's no 1.00

00:16:34.640 way that she could make it as far as she has being that stupid. So no, she knows what a woman is. 1.00

00:16:43.140 She knows today. She's always known. She'll know tomorrow. But she's so beholden to left-wing

00:16:49.500 orthodoxy, so firmly embedded in that world, so committed to it, that she will pretend she doesn't

00:16:55.560 know, humiliating herself on the national stage in the process. That's what makes her dangerous on 1.00

00:17:01.880 the Supreme Court. And yet this question, as I've been insisting for years, is the question

00:17:07.480 that single-handedly destroys gender ideology and reveals leftism for what it is.

00:17:12.500 And what is it? It's a movement of moral and intellectual chaos. It rejects truth categorically.

00:17:21.580 It's a form of madness, ideological madness, madness that you choose to buy into and adopt as your

00:17:26.860 worldview. Lunacy turned into a worldview is what leftism is. But most of all, it's flimsy. It's hollow at

00:17:37.020 its core. Defeated by the most basic line of inquiry. Destroyed by questions.

00:17:45.700 Questions that we just have to have the guts to ask, finally. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:58.140 You know, when you look around at the world today and at our country, which is collapsing

00:18:03.360 into a heap before our very eyes, it can be difficult to sleep. You know, you can toss and

00:18:10.020 turn at night thinking about the collapse of human civilization. But it's a little bit easier

00:19:23.540 pillows. All right, we'll start with this from Governor Ron DeSantis. He tweeted,

00:19:28.720 by allowing men to compete in women's sports, the NCAA is destroying opportunities for women, 0.97

00:19:33.820 making a mockery of its championships, and perpetuating a fraud. In Florida, we reject

00:19:37.640 these lies and recognize Sarasota's Emma Wyant as the best women's swimmer in the 500-yard freestyle.

00:19:44.420 And then he has his official declaration from the governor with the seal there, just reiterating

00:19:51.120 reiterating again that Emma Wyant, who came in quote-unquote second behind the male

00:19:56.800 Leah Thomas, it is in fact the winner of the race. This is, I don't know if I've mentioned this

00:20:05.120 before, but maybe I have a time or two, that Governor Ron DeSantis needs to be our guy in 2024.

00:20:12.020 He just, we're, we want to lose, you know, as conservatives, if we decide to throw him to the

00:20:24.940 side and pick somebody else. He's by far the most effective Republican governor in the country. And

00:20:31.140 the other thing, from a political perspective, you know, he understands that something like this

00:20:39.640 is a winning issue. He knows what the winning issues are for Republicans.

00:20:45.120 I think more and more Republicans are awakening to this. It took them long enough.

00:20:49.900 But Governor DeSantis has his finger on the pulse, as it were, and really understands it.

00:20:55.480 This is, by far and away, a winning move to say this. And he also says, it's very important,

00:21:03.920 the language is important. He didn't say, because I think, you know, if another Republican had done a

00:21:08.980 similar thing. And now that he's done this, I'm sure other Republicans will start doing it as well.

00:21:12.840 But most Republicans, if they were to do something like this, they would probably say,

00:21:17.800 if they would even go as far as this, they would say, by allowing trans women to compete in women's

00:21:22.040 sports. But he uses the word man, and that's very important. Taking a stand, saying, no, this is a man,

00:21:28.740 and that's it. You know, as I've been saying for so long, this is a winning issue for Republicans.

00:21:36.060 It's an important issue. And it's an issue that the Democrats, they don't want to have a conversation

00:21:43.540 about it. Now, they want to talk about it. They want to talk at you about gender and about trans

00:21:51.160 rights and about all these things. So it's not to say they don't want to talk about it. They obviously

00:21:56.060 want to talk about it. They talk about it all the time. They're screaming in our faces about it all the

00:22:00.800 time. They want to march through the street, screaming about it into a bullhorn. They love

00:22:05.340 talking about it, but they don't want to have a conversation about it. Now, you could point out

00:22:09.060 that the Democrats don't really want to have a conversation about anything, and that's true,

00:22:12.680 but especially with this. It can't be a back and forth. It's just, here's what we're saying about

00:22:18.960 quote unquote trans rights, and that's it. They don't want any kind of back and forth at all.

00:22:23.400 They don't want to be asked questions about it. Any questions. I mean, we're going to get to a

00:22:33.060 point where it's going to be almost inevitable. As much as the media doesn't want to have to do it,

00:22:39.140 you keep this issue at the forefront. What is a woman? You keep that at the forefront as well. 1.00

00:22:46.040 We're going to get to the debate season in midterms and presidential election where that question,

00:22:51.380 what is a woman, is going to come up in the debates. Again, it's not something that any 0.99

00:22:59.100 moderator would want to ask because they're all on the sides of Democrats and they know how

00:23:02.320 embarrassing the question is, but it's going to be so much to the forefront. If we keep pushing it

00:23:07.060 there, you have to ask it. And if the moderator doesn't ask it, then Republican, you ask it.

00:23:15.380 This is something that Ron DeSantis, if he was in a presidential debate, he would certainly do.

00:23:21.380 And they can't, that's a question they can't answer. They don't want to answer any question

00:23:29.380 about this. And listen to me when I say this. I mean, any question. When it comes to gender ideology,

00:23:35.780 they don't want to and cannot answer literally any question on the subject.

00:23:41.440 And that's why our job is to ask those questions.

00:23:47.400 Meanwhile, elsewhere in Florida, actually, no, this was in California, I guess. Disney employees

00:23:52.720 had a walkout over the bill in Florida, the Don't Say Gay bill, which they invented in their heads. The 0.56

00:23:59.120 bill that doesn't exist, actually doesn't exist in Florida, doesn't exist anywhere. It exists in

00:24:03.000 their fevered imaginations. Um, and, uh, here's that walkout. Let's, let's take a listen.

00:24:10.000 Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Say gay! Broke. I mean, this is, 0.99

00:24:22.060 this is just heroism. They're marching down in California, shouting the word gay, say gay, say gay. 0.99

00:24:28.120 Hey! Haven't read the bill! Haven't read the bill! That's really what the, what the march, 0.99

00:24:32.820 the chant should be. Um, also Disney related. More people who haven't read the bill. ESPN yesterday.

00:24:39.480 Now, I know I talk about, we talk about ESPN going woke. It's like, that's happened a long time ago.

00:24:45.840 But they are, they are not relenting. I mean, they have, ESPN has chosen its path

00:24:53.100 and will not waver from it and is just going deeper and deeper into this madness. So here

00:24:59.200 was a long Twitter thread they posted yesterday. Um, because, you know, if you, if you like sports,

00:25:05.780 then you follow ESPN on Twitter, right? Supposedly. Well, you're not going to get sports coverage.

00:25:11.400 Instead, you get this. ESPN believes in inclusivity and denounces legislation and actions across the

00:25:17.280 United States that infringe on any human rights. We stand with our LGBTQIA plus colleagues, friends,

00:25:23.920 families, and fans. But you just love sports. They continue. We'll continue to partner with

00:25:28.760 organizations that support the LGBTQIA plus community, be accountable where we fall short

00:25:33.940 of expectations and never stop telling stories about LGBTQIA plus athletes like the ones we'll be

00:25:40.660 sharing in this thread. And then, uh, they go into a long list of examples. Transgender kids in the

00:25:46.700 U.S. are stuck in the middle of the ongoing debate over science and assumption, sex and gender

00:25:51.360 identity, politics, and policy. Uh, this is the story of Becky, Stephanie, and Chris, three athletes

00:25:58.480 who say they just want to play. And then there's an article that's titled why some states are sending

00:26:04.020 transgender athletes to the sidelines. That of course is not true for the umpteenth time. 0.99

00:26:10.240 There are no states that are doing that. There are no states that are sending transgender 1.00

00:26:14.400 athletes to the sideline. Uh, there's no state that has passed any law saying that if you identify

00:26:18.980 as quote unquote transgender, you cannot compete in sports. That doesn't exist. Nowhere in America 1.00

00:26:23.700 at any point has any quote unquote trans person been told you're not allowed to compete in sports.

00:26:29.300 What has happened and what is happening in certain states is that they're saying to the trans people,

00:26:33.940 you in fact are not special. So you're going to be subject to the same rules as everybody else

00:26:38.720 and everybody else. They, they, they're going to be divided up based on biological sex determining 1.00

00:26:46.100 which, which, uh, you know, which league they compete in. Um, and so you're just, you are going

00:26:53.540 to be subject to the same rules as everybody. This is equality, which is what they say they want.

00:26:59.660 Well, I guess I'll correct myself. Um, it's not what they say they want anymore.

00:27:07.880 They've abandoned that. Now they talk about equity. And as we've talked about equity and

00:27:12.880 equality are actually two entirely separate things. All right, here's a, let's move to this. Joe Biden

00:27:19.300 with an accidental, you get these every once in a while and, uh, maybe increasingly so with Joe Biden

00:27:24.500 because he doesn't partially do the dimension, everything. He doesn't have the filter.

00:27:28.480 Like a lot of politicians do. So here's a moment of accidental honesty from Joe Biden. Listen,

00:27:34.700 you know, we are at an inflection point, I believe in the world economy, not just the world economy in

00:27:40.740 the world. It occurs every three or four generations as one of them, as the, uh, one of the top military

00:27:47.520 people said to me in a secure meeting the other day, 60, 60 million people died between 1900 and 1946.

00:27:55.420 And, uh, since then we established a liberal world order and that hadn't happened in a long while.

00:28:02.560 A lot of people dying, but nowhere near the chaos. And now is a time when things are shifting. We're

00:28:08.120 going to, there's going to be a new world order out there and we've got to lead it and we've got to

00:28:12.580 unite the rest of the free world in doing it.

00:28:14.640 He doesn't just say it once. He says that he repeats it. This is a liberal world order, a new world

00:28:21.040 order. Uh, that's his own words. You know, anybody else were to say that and accuse the left of

00:28:31.280 wanting to establish a new world order, then it's a great conspiracy theory and you'd probably get

00:28:35.080 banned from Twitter and YouTube or whatever for saying it. But, uh, here he is saying it himself.

00:28:39.020 Of course, the new world order is, was, was never a, even a theory. There might be a conspiracy.

00:28:46.600 There's certainly an element of conspiracy to it. Um, I think a lot of it is an unspoken conspiracy.

00:28:51.900 That's the thing about the so-called conspiracies on the left. They are engaged in lots of conspiracies

00:28:57.820 and all of the most powerful institutions in the country are in a way conspiring amongst themselves,

00:29:03.220 but they don't need to, most of the time they don't need to meet in smoky rooms and, uh, and hatch their

00:29:10.960 evil plans. They're just all sort of on the same page automatically. Their, their ideology puts them

00:29:17.900 on the same page and, uh, they want the same things, but the idea that they want to reshuffle the world

00:29:25.540 order. Well, of course they do. That's incredibly obvious. Um, it's in fact that a new world order,

00:29:35.880 if anything, it understates what they're trying to do. They're not just trying to reorder things

00:29:40.600 within the world. They're trying to change reality itself. They're, they, they want a new reality

00:29:47.400 order or something like that. They want, they want to fundamentally change the realities of the

00:29:53.660 universe, which cannot be changed, but that's what they want to. And if they cannot change the basic

00:29:58.060 realities of life, then it's, then the next option is to, um, indoctrinate, you know, a country full

00:30:06.820 of people and especially generation, younger generations of people who don't recognize basic

00:30:10.920 realities. So it's pretty clear that that's what they want to do. All right. Um, moving along pretty

00:30:17.360 fast. There's a lot to cover. I want to, I want to get to as much of this as I can. And I also have to

00:30:21.380 mention this yesterday. We taught, we announced the, um, unveiling of Jeremy's razors, uh, which is

00:30:28.400 our response to Harry's razors, which we used to advertise on all the shows. And then, um, they,

00:30:36.820 they got wind of the fact that Michael Knowles stated that men are men and women are women because

00:30:42.940 one Twitter account with two followers said, Hey, did you know that they believe this? Meanwhile,

00:30:48.080 it's like all of our shows talk about that all the time. And Harry's pretended that they had no idea.

00:30:54.020 And then one Twitter follow Twitter account with two followers says, but brings it up to them. And

00:30:59.200 then they denounce us and, uh, say they want nothing to do with us. We launched Jeremy's razors. Um,

00:31:05.080 and here, here from the daily wire now, it says in a statement given to spy.com, Jeff Rader,

00:31:09.360 co-founder and co-CEO of Harry's maintain that, um, they believed in free speech, but we're drawing the

00:31:14.720 line at hate. They said in a statement, we created Harry's to offer better shaving and grooming

00:31:19.980 products for everyone. We believe deeply in free speech, but draw the line at hate. We'll continue

00:31:25.600 to support our customers and community with kindness and compassion. Uh, spy.com added a

00:31:32.960 spokesperson from the brand continued by saying that Harry's does advertise across various media,

00:31:37.020 including the conservative Fox news. However, the brand does not associate with entities

00:31:40.800 that engage in or endorse hate speech. And the hate speech here again, is just that men are men

00:31:48.280 and women are women. In fact, what it, what it was specifically, I think was, uh, Michael Knowles

00:31:53.480 talking to, I believe he's on Candace Owens show. He's talking with Candace and was discussing the fact

00:31:59.040 that gender dysphoria is a mental illness. I think that was the specific thing, which is all related to 1.00

00:32:05.140 the fact that men are men and women are women. Um, and the idea that, that people who are deluded

00:32:11.680 about this, who are confused about what sex they are, the idea that that's a mental illness,

00:32:16.500 that was the psychiatric community's consensus. If you care a lot of, we always hear about the

00:32:21.740 consensus of the scientific community. Well, that was the consensus view of psychiatrists and

00:32:29.320 the psychiatric community up until very recently when all of a sudden they changed it and they

00:32:34.780 said, Oh, it's, it's not a mental illness. Um, you know, what they, the way that they flipped

00:32:40.540 around is that they said, okay, uh, if somebody thinks that they're born in the wrong body,

00:32:46.220 the problem, it's not their, the problem is not their mental perception. It's not that they're

00:32:50.820 mentally diluted because that's what they were saying before. That's a mental illness. If you think 0.99

00:32:56.360 that you're born in the wrong body or you're, you're a man, but you think you're a woman for 0.99

00:33:00.360 decades, it was, okay, that's a mental illness. Um, now they say, well, the problem is just the 0.94

00:33:06.960 feelings, the dysphoric feelings that you get from this mismatch between your quote, gender identity

00:33:13.220 and your sex. And so we have to treat the feelings. And so often the way that you treat the feelings, 0.65

00:33:19.100 it turns out is through hormones and through surgery and everything else. So that's the switch that

00:33:22.980 they made a very significant switch, really reversing course entirely. But the interesting

00:33:31.040 thing is that when they made this switch, they, there was never any scientific explanation given

00:33:36.380 for it. This was a political change. And we've seen this from the psychiatric industry many times

00:33:42.660 where they make changes in the way that they approach certain proclivities and certain delusions

00:33:49.340 and so forth. And, and they don't explain it on scientific grounds. It's only on political

00:33:53.480 grounds that they make the change. But all this is hate speech now. It's all hate speech. And he

00:33:57.420 has no interest. And Harry's has no interest in anyone who believes anything that I'm saying right

00:34:01.300 now, which is why you can get Jeremy's razors instead. Right. I also want to play this for you.

00:34:05.020 Kid Rock was interviewed by Tucker Carlson a few days ago, and he said something about cancel

00:34:09.600 culture that I actually thought was pretty important. So I want to play that for you. Listen.

00:34:14.040 Why haven't you been canceled? Like people aren't allowed to say what they think you are.

00:34:19.400 I am uncancellable. What's that? Because I don't give a ****. And I'm not in bed with any big

00:34:25.960 corporate things. At the end of the day, there's nobody I'm beholden to no record companies,

00:34:29.880 no corporate interests, no nothing. And you can't cancel me. I love it when they try. I'm like,

00:34:35.640 yeah, why aren't there more artists like that? Because they're in bed with record companies and,

00:34:41.260 you know, corporate deals and structures at every level. And, you know, it's and if someone

00:34:47.160 finds a way to get me a little bit here and there, I'll find another way around it.

00:34:50.360 You never see artists talk like that. They seem very easy to intimidate.

00:34:55.860 At what point did you realize, like, you're just not going to be intimidated?

00:35:00.040 Day one. Really? I think I crawled out of the womb with both middle fingers in the air.

00:35:04.240 So, he's right that there are, it's an important point, that there are two ways to get cancelled.

00:35:14.560 And it's really, there's really only two. There are only two ways for it to happen.

00:35:18.840 Two kind of categories. It's just, unfortunately, a great many people fall into one of these categories

00:35:24.840 or both. So, either in order to be cancelled, you have to be beholden to corporate interests

00:35:31.220 as a great many people are. I mean, if you work for a big giant corporation, then in that way,

00:35:39.640 you're beholden to them because you work for them. Through no fault of your own, I mean,

00:35:44.020 you have to have a job. But so, that's one way. If you're kind of at the mercy of giant corporations,

00:35:50.320 then that's one way to get cancelled. The other way is if you care what the mob thinks about you.

00:35:56.380 And that's why we see people who wouldn't seem to really be beholden to anyone. There's no reason

00:36:02.040 why they need to be beholden. Rich and famous people got all the money in the world. And

00:36:06.260 even if they get cancelled by corporations, they're not really cancelled. They're still

00:36:10.480 going to be rich. They're still going to be famous. They could go out on their own and do their own

00:36:13.100 thing. But they still apologize and crumble and everything because, although they're not really

00:36:18.580 beholden to corporate interests, or maybe they are a little bit, the bigger issue is that they

00:36:21.800 care what the mob thinks. So, either you care what the mob thinks, or you'll be beholden to

00:36:26.600 corporate interests, or both. And for a lot of people, it's both. Especially a lot of celebrities

00:36:32.400 and so on. The answer is both there. So, if you want to be uncancellable, that's the way to do it.

00:36:38.580 Now, unfortunately, lots of people are not in the spot that Kid Rock is in, where you could be

00:36:46.360 wealthy and all of that. And, you know, you don't really, you're not, you don't need to

00:36:50.860 go to any corporation or anyone looking for a job. You can kind of do your own thing. So,

00:36:55.340 not everyone's in that spot. But at least one thing that everybody can adopt

00:36:59.400 is the second part. Which gives you a, some cover, anyway, in cancel culture. Which is to stop

00:37:09.460 caring what the mob thinks to begin with. A lot of the cancellations that happen, it's really a,

00:37:16.360 it's a, it's a, a self-cancellation. The mob gives the gun to the canceled person

00:37:22.600 and just convinces them to pull the trigger against themselves, metaphorically.

00:37:28.860 And, you know, eventually we get to the point where, with cancel culture, where, where it's not

00:37:32.040 so metaphorical. And that, that happens quite often. So, you get, you got to get to a point where

00:37:39.800 it just doesn't mean anything to you. And you realize that, first of all, all these labels that are

00:37:45.720 thrown at you, anytime you cancel, it's always going to be under the guise of racism, sexism,

00:37:51.080 transphobia, whatever. And you get to the point where you realize that these labels don't mean

00:37:57.900 anything at all. I mean, after all, they're being thrown at you by people who, as we saw,

00:38:04.040 even on the Supreme Court, or who want to be in the Supreme Court, can't, can't define a word like

00:38:08.100 woman. So, they certainly, an abstract kind of concept like transphobia, that doesn't mean

00:38:14.320 anything. Now, that really doesn't mean anything. So, who cares if you're called that?

00:38:22.260 And most of the people in the mob who are coming after you and attacking you and insulting you,

00:38:26.360 they don't actually care that much. You don't mean anything to them. This is all a game to them.

00:38:33.220 This is a power game, power struggle. They want to impose their will on you.

00:38:39.800 Not much different from the bully in the playground. You know, it's a playground bully mentality.

00:38:45.780 But nationwide, formed into a mob, ideologically driven.

00:38:50.940 All right, one other thing before we get to the comment section,

00:38:52.780 maybe you've seen this clip already, but we've got to play it on the show. Somehow I've skipped

00:38:57.540 over it. Over the last two days, I've skipped over it. But, you know, Kamala Harris, she has these 0.98

00:39:03.440 moments of real insight that I find personally inspiring. And here was another one of those

00:39:11.620 moments. She's getting made fun of for this, but I think she really makes a good point. Listen.

00:39:16.220 The governor and I, and we were all doing a tour of the library here and talking about the significance

00:39:24.720 of the passage of time, right? The significance of the passage of time. So when you think about it,

00:39:31.480 there is great significance to the passage of time in terms of what we need to do to lay these wires,

00:39:37.780 what we need to do to create these jobs. And there is such great significance to the passage of time

00:39:43.960 when we think about a day in the life of our children.

00:39:50.500 The thing about the passage of time is that when time passes, it tends to pass. And there is,

00:39:58.340 in effect, a passage, which is of time. And the time, what it's doing is it's passing, hence,

00:40:07.620 therefore, the passage. And when you think about it, when you think about it, the passage of time

00:40:16.100 is really a passage of time in which there is a passage of time. And the time is passing all the

00:40:29.240 time. Every time. Great stuff from Camilla Harris. I have a, I actually have a lot of respect. Maybe

00:40:38.400 I shouldn't, but, um, the, the one thing that I do respect about some politicians anyway, is, um,

00:40:46.800 if you're a really good BS artist, because that, that's a talent in its own right to be really good

00:40:53.620 BS artist. And the, the ability to stand up in front of people and say nothing at all, but sound

00:41:01.380 like you're saying something that is actually a skill. And it's a skill that unfortunately can

00:41:06.860 take you really far in life. As we've seen, it can take you all the way to the, to the, to the

00:41:09.980 white house. But with Camilla Harris, she doesn't, she's a, she's a BS artist without the artist part

00:41:15.120 of it. It's just, it's just full BS. And she's not, she, she thinks that she's good at this

00:41:20.100 and she's not. And that's what makes it so difficult to watch and listen to, but also

00:41:24.540 hilarious. Have you ever wanted to send your uncle a birthday greeting from one of his favorite

00:41:29.000 conservative celebrities or have your favorite freedom loving comedian roast that one liberal

00:41:33.320 cousin nobody likes in the family? There's only one place to make that a reality. And it's a new

00:42:01.780 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage? Who's to blame? It's a sweet baby gang.

00:42:12.880 Okay. We'll do just one video comment. This one mercifully short. Let's play clip 23.

00:42:20.680 Hey, Matt, I just saw you on Candace. You're totally right. All water tastes the same. I drink

00:42:26.780 tap water. If I need a water bottle, I drink the Walmart brand because all water tastes the same.

00:42:33.200 Also, she said there at the very end of her show that you're often wrong and that we should think

00:42:39.380 about that. I know we previously declared war on Ben Shapiro for not swearing allegiance to the

00:42:44.280 sweet baby gang. Is this war on Candace? Sweet baby gang for life. I mean, unfortunately it is,

00:42:51.720 but this is not a war that I started. I mean, she declared war on the sweet baby gang by name.

00:42:58.160 And I have to say, look, what I did talk about the show a couple of days ago, the, the water taste

00:43:03.140 challenge that I, it was my idea. I challenged Candace this because, because she, to her credit

00:43:09.680 was able to get Dasani water trending on Twitter over the weekend, uh, talking about how terrible

00:43:16.340 Dasani is. And then I discovered much to my bewilderment that, that this is a, this is a

00:43:21.580 common sentiment among people. Like all kinds of people pretend that they feel very strongly that

00:43:27.100 Dasani water tastes terrible. And it's, it sparks this whole other conversation about what's your

00:43:30.420 favorite brand of bottled water. And everyone's pretending to have a favorite brand. Like they

00:43:34.540 can tell the difference. And my point all along was that actually all water tastes the same. This

00:43:38.400 is all psychosomatic. It's a, it's a placebo effect. You think you can tell the difference,

00:43:42.460 but you can't actually. And so that's why I challenged Candace Owens and said, let's have taste

00:43:47.120 tests, blind taste test. And, uh, and we'll see if you can actually tell the difference. Like that's

00:43:52.720 the best way to go about this. And I did say initially that I want to meet in a neutral playing

00:43:58.180 field, which is the break room. And we'll do this taste test and we'll see who wins, you know?

00:44:02.540 And it ended up being on her show instead. Okay. You know, it's not exactly a neutral playing

00:44:06.400 field, but I'll go along with it. What I will say, this is all I'm going to say about it. This

00:44:09.560 is all I'm going to say. Um, if you watch that segment on Candace's show, which you, which you

00:44:17.140 should, you should watch the whole show, but you should watch that segment as well at the very end.

00:44:20.460 Um, you know, I think the most important segment on, on her show on any show this week is,

00:44:25.660 is, is what we did with, uh, with the water tasting test. Um, but I did win without any

00:44:35.380 question whatsoever. It ended up being a, a somewhat longer segment than you might argue

00:44:42.040 it needed to be. Okay. It was a, it was, there was quite a dispute that, that occurred. Not all

00:44:48.600 of that makes it into the final product. Cause you got to cut things down for time a little bit,

00:44:51.680 but all I'm going to say is that we, we did do at least one clean take here where we each try

00:44:59.440 that we had five cups of water and we didn't know what was in it. And we each tried it. Of course,

00:45:05.280 I, I always said all along, I can't tell the difference. So I couldn't tell the difference

00:45:07.460 and then she guessed and she guessed wrong and she, and, and she wasn't able to tell the difference

00:45:11.420 either. So I did win whatever camera tricks they come up with. I don't know, but I did win.

00:45:16.880 And so I'm waiting on my $100 from Candace Owens. And I mean, gas is expensive. Like,

00:45:26.640 I don't know how I'm going to get home today. I need that a hundred dollars to put gas in my car.

00:45:30.600 And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm waiting on her to come through. All right. This is a from Justin Graham

00:45:35.900 says total boss moved by the daily wire to pull a David hog and try to beat the enemy at their own

00:45:40.400 game. But unlike hog, Jeremy's razors company will actually be successful given daily wires track

00:45:44.580 record. Well, I mean, that understates it. Yeah. David hog decided he wanted to start his own

00:45:49.100 pillow company to compete with my pillow. But I think with David hog, he never actually,

00:45:52.780 he just announced that he wanted to do it. And the pillow company collapsed before it even started.

00:45:57.380 So it was a failed, he might be the first person in history to ever have a failed pillow company

00:46:02.840 that never existed to begin with. Um, this is no, this, this is all, this is very real. We actually

00:46:07.440 did launch it and sold a whole bunch of razors by the way. So you can go to, uh, I hate harrys.com and

00:46:12.460 get your own. Um, let's see. Uh, a Miller time says, Matt, last week, my son came home from camp

00:46:22.120 and said he made a new friend that he thought was a boy, but it was a girl that liked to be called a

00:46:27.080 boy. What would your response be to your son from context? My son is nine. The girl's 11. Uh,

00:46:32.140 why would be telling my son in a hurry? Very, very, without using any clever language, being very upfront

00:46:38.800 and direct and straightforward and saying, um, well, you said, this is a girl that likes to be

00:46:44.120 called a boy. You say to your son, um, that is a girl who is confused and we feel very sorry for her

00:46:52.580 that she's confused, but she's a girl. And we, we, we refer to her as a girl. We treat her as a girl

00:46:58.620 because that's what she is, no matter what she says. Unfortunately, she's very confused.

00:47:01.980 And then the next thing that I would be doing, unfortunately you have to do this is, um, I would

00:47:07.680 be doing everything I can to strongly discourage my child from spending a lot of time with this

00:47:14.800 girl. And, uh, and the reason for that nothing, you know, it's, it's, it's not an attack on the

00:47:22.280 girl herself. Cause I feel sorry for the girl. She's only 11. She's a victim in this scenario,

00:47:26.900 but we know, and we've heard many times, and there's so many examples of this, this social

00:47:32.460 contagion aspect of, uh, with, with gender ideology and gender confusion, that it spreads

00:47:38.160 like, like a physical virus. And so you have to do everything you can as, as a parent to

00:47:43.820 shield your kids from that, especially at this age, especially at the age of nine, you know, um,

00:47:51.040 very prone at that age to confusion of all sorts. And so I think you got to do everything you can

00:47:55.320 to shield your kid, but also be very, very direct with them about, about the truth.

00:48:02.860 And, you know, and I certainly wouldn't get in, I wouldn't bother getting into anything about,

00:48:06.460 oh, we got to be, be respectful. And that, you know, it's the most important thing here.

00:48:11.880 It's of dire importance to your child and to the rest of his life that you make 100% clear what the

00:48:20.640 truth is and that that truth is not going to change no matter what anyone says.

00:48:25.320 Um, let's see. Jennifer says, thank you, Matt, for articulating the fundamental issue with these

00:48:32.720 so-called mental disease diagnoses. Many people think they're clinically depressed due to a chemical

00:48:37.660 imbalance when in reality they're clinically imbalanced due to embracing their depressive

00:48:42.480 modes. Get off the couch, get some sunshine. Life is full of ups and downs. Uh, get over it. Yeah. I mean,

00:48:49.360 look, I mean, the, the get over it part, it is true. You know, you say it, you phrase it like that 0.95

00:48:56.220 and you're going to feed into this thing that you're being dismissive or whatever. And, um, uh,

00:49:01.320 and, and, and people aren't going to appreciate that. And it is true that someone who's in the grip

00:49:06.600 of despair, which is what depression is. It's despair. Um, it's never quite as simple as just

00:49:14.800 get over it. However, the rest of what you said before that, that's why I would just, I keep the

00:49:20.560 get over it phrase out because you don't need that. Get off the couch, get some ups, get some

00:49:24.640 sunshine, you know, get some exercise. That part is also going to be seen as dismissive, but it is

00:49:29.020 not because that is actually true. This is a, this is just a fact that things like sunshine, things like

00:49:33.940 exercise, movement, you know, doing things, just getting out, like try not to think about it as much,

00:49:38.920 getting actively involved in life. That does make a huge difference.

00:49:44.500 Even to someone who's in the grip of, of unthinkable despair. I'm not saying it's going

00:49:49.540 to automatically, I'm not saying you walk outside and it's a sunny day and it immediately goes away,

00:49:53.780 but it will make a big difference. This is a psychological fact. It's a scientific fact as well.

00:49:59.820 Um, and the fact that we're not allowed to talk about this or acknowledge it, acknowledge that

00:50:03.240 things like exercise, um, help to cure depression. Like we're not, it's, it's just a fact,

00:50:08.080 but we're not allowed to acknowledge it because it's seen somehow as, uh, well dismissive, which

00:50:12.720 it isn't. Um, Max Winter says when I was a kid, even my parents noticed that I had a lot of

00:50:19.140 symptoms of ADHD. I was easily distracted. I had trouble completing things on my own.

00:50:23.920 I was, uh, I was always very active and had a very active imagination to the point where my

00:50:28.000 parents thought I was on some part of the autism spectrum, yet they never chose to take me to a

00:50:32.180 doctor and have me diagnosed with any of this since they knew this was just normal behavior for a

00:50:35.840 child, especially a boy. And they knew that whatever kind of help I would be given was just

00:50:40.720 a medication. That's it. Well, I think your parents made the right decision. And, you know, the thing

00:50:44.920 is you hear from parents talking about their own kids and with ADHD in kids, it vast majority of

00:50:52.100 cases, it is going to be boys. And that's something that maybe we should stop and think about right

00:50:56.640 there. If this is a mental illness, that's entirely in the brain and it's about chemical imbalances or

00:51:03.140 whatever, then why it seems really odd that it happens to afflict boys. Most of the time,

00:51:07.760 it just so happens to afflict the kinds of people who are naturally energetic, naturally have more

00:51:15.220 trouble focusing, especially in a public school environment where they're being told to sit at a,

00:51:18.900 at a, at a desk for seven hours a day and do busy work. That's just not, that's actually not,

00:51:24.840 it's not a natural environment that is conducive to children thriving, especially boys.

00:51:31.920 Um, but what you hear from parents is, uh, you know, when you say this kind of thing,

00:51:38.580 they'll say, Oh, well, you don't understand because of, you know, my son, yeah, he's energetic

00:51:43.520 and he has trouble focusing, but it's, it's way worse than what you're talking about. It's,

00:51:47.760 it's, it's, it's like to another level. And that's why he has ADHD. First of all, how do you know?

00:51:53.220 I mean, you're just assuming this is, this is your one experience, you know, you have maybe one son,

00:51:58.220 maybe two or whatever, but, but, um, and, and you know, with your child that he has a lot of

00:52:04.480 trouble focusing, you're just, you're just kind of assuming that it's so much worse than what

00:52:07.780 anybody else deals with. Um, I don't, I don't think that that, I don't, I don't think there's any

00:52:13.080 basis for that assumption. And that's, that's one of the fundamental problems with the ADHD thing

00:52:20.720 is you break it down. You're talking about attention deficit. There's a, someone has a

00:52:26.200 deficit of attention, has a deficient ability to pay attention. Well, in order to make that

00:52:32.240 determination about someone, you first have to know how much attention they're supposed to have.

00:52:39.800 What's the baseline in order to know that they are deficient of it. How in the world do you measure

00:52:45.860 that? And then it complicates matters when you realize that especially with kids and especially

00:52:51.460 with boys and especially in the public school environment, the baseline for their attentional

00:52:55.560 abilities is extremely low already. So that's the issue. Well, I have excellent news for you in a

00:53:02.980 world of woke razors sold by men who cave to the demands of social justice warriors. You can now

00:53:07.980 use a razor that pivots, but does not cave to anyone. And yes, I'm talking about the Daily Wire

00:53:12.540 and our new razor company, Jeremy's Razors. We launched a razor company yesterday and already

00:53:16.680 the response has been enormous with razors. Jeremy's Razors even trending on Twitter. We're

00:53:20.680 taking the power out of the hands of woke corporations like Harry's instead of capitulating

00:53:24.240 to corporations that hate us. We're building our own world. We're already doing all of that with our

00:53:28.560 new, our news, uh, you know, articles, our books, our movies and shows and so much more.

00:53:33.540 But this is your chance to join us. Go to I hate harrys.com and place your first order for

00:53:38.680 Jeremy's Razors today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:53:42.540 The comedian Jeff Foxworthy was trending on social media last night after the release of

00:53:49.520 his Netflix special called Good Old Days. From what I understand, though I haven't watched the

00:53:53.480 set, the humor is very safe, staying away from anything that might be considered political or

00:53:57.460 topical. Apparently he doesn't even joke about rednecks anymore, according to reports anyway,

00:54:02.080 which, which I hope are mistaken reports. But for whatever reason, one brief and rather routine

00:54:07.320 bit from the special was being discussed last night. And I, you know, I made it onto my radar

00:54:11.660 because I saw it on social media and, um, anyway, take a listen, but I had a great childhood.

00:54:18.060 You know, I got, I played every sport for the recreation center. My parents didn't make me pick

00:54:24.100 one sport because they thought I was going to play professional, whatever I played every sport. And it

00:54:29.820 was weird back then because if you wanted a trophy, you had to finish in first place.

00:54:35.060 It was nuts.

00:54:40.780 Now it's pretty standard fair complaining about participation trophies. It's a, it's cliche,

00:54:44.900 but we've all done it. And for good reason, you know, I can still remember the first participation

00:54:48.080 trophy that I ever received at the age of like seven, six or seven after a little league season

00:54:52.840 in which we didn't win a single game. And I'm not sure that we even had one base hit between us

00:54:57.220 on the whole team. And, um, I was brought to the trophy ceremony and I assumed that my team would be

00:55:02.120 sitting there in shame, watching as the better teams are awarded for their achievements.

00:55:06.220 The best team in the league was, was very impressive. They actually had four base hits

00:55:09.780 that season. So those MLB caliber teams did all receive their trophies, but then confusingly,

00:55:15.920 we were called to the stage also, and not to be locked in stockade. So the better teams could

00:55:20.040 throw tomatoes at us and mock us for our failures as I first thought might happen, but to give us our

00:55:25.280 own trophies, the dreaded participation trophies. We were awarded just for showing up, even though we

00:55:31.060 barely did that. I mean, the thing about baseball is that there's, there's nothing about it, which

00:55:35.480 requires you to work hard. It's not like completing a marathon. You know, I could almost agree with some

00:55:40.740 form of participation trophy for completing a marathon just because the mere act of doing it

00:55:46.320 and finishing it is an achievement in its own right. But in baseball, if you want, you can sit out in the

00:55:53.500 outfield in a lawn chair and just watch the clouds go by, which is basically how I spent nine years of

00:55:58.240 little league minus the lawn chair. It's absurd to award us for participating in something so leisurely

00:56:03.940 as that. And I saw that even then at the age of a six or seven. So I therefore understand why so many

00:56:10.040 people for so many years have complained about participation trophies. I also see how these

00:56:14.360 trophies are symbolic in a bigger sort of way, representing the coddled, self-congratulatory,

00:56:19.300 entitled, lazy, self-esteem focused attitude that infects modern society. And yet there's a point

00:56:24.620 about all of this and participation trophies in specifically, which has always bothered me.

00:56:31.820 So now I'm using this one little Jeff Foxworthy joke as an excuse to make it. Here's the point.

00:56:36.260 And it's very simple. So often boomers like Foxworthy are the ones complaining about participation

00:56:43.020 trophies and labeling my generation, the millennials, the participation trophy generation. And yet not to

00:56:50.200 split hairs here, boomers, but well, you're the ones who gave us the trophies. You invented the concept 1.00

00:56:56.960 or at least popularized it. It's not like we at the age of seven staged some sort of mutiny at the

00:57:02.140 trophy ceremony and forced you to give us trophies at gunpoint. No, you came up with the concept of

00:57:07.380 participation trophies and gave them to us. And then 20 years later, you look around and say,

00:57:11.440 these damned kids and their participation trophies. Do you see the problem here? 0.99

00:57:15.100 Why did the boomers give out participation trophies? Well, I mean, why did they coddle their 1.00

00:57:21.660 children in so many ways? Why did they raise their kids to cherish self-regard and self-esteem above

00:57:26.600 everything else? Why did they tell us that we're all precious little diamonds who are perfect and

00:57:31.080 above reproach in every way? Well, before we talk about why, we just need to reiterate that

00:57:36.540 this is what they did. We didn't come up with any of this stuff ourselves. As for why,

00:57:43.260 part of it is the collapse of meaning tied to the collapse of faith, which left a hole in the

00:57:47.820 heart of our culture and in each individual, which for decades now we've been trying to fill

00:57:52.140 with self-love, self-affirmation, our own quote-unquote truth. But on a more psychological

00:57:57.820 level, the boomers were also prolific divorcers. They sparked an epidemic of divorce. I mean, 0.60

00:58:03.900 boomers are getting divorced. You think it's bad now? Talk about the height of the boomer divorce 0.93

00:58:09.640 epidemic, tearing families apart, turning their children into latchkey kids who spent all day in

00:58:15.160 government school, came home to empty houses while both parents worked, and were raised by the TV.

00:58:20.140 Much of the coddling and spoiling was out of guilt. It was a form of overcompensation.

00:58:24.760 I went to school with a whole lot of kids from broken families, and almost all of them 0.98

00:58:28.220 had nicer toys than I did. Part of that is because their parents valued material wealth above everything

00:58:34.600 else in life. And part of that is because their parents were constantly trying to buy their

00:58:38.560 affection. The point here is that whether you're talking about participation trophies or anything

00:58:43.360 else, when you complain about your children's generation, you're complaining about yourself.

00:58:50.860 Because a new generation does not fall out of the sky. They aren't actually delivered by

00:58:56.200 storks. They don't climb out of tombs like zombies or mummies. They don't materialize out of thin air.

00:59:02.100 Despite how some people in my generation might physically appear, we're also not orcs dug out

00:59:07.480 of the ground like in Lord of the Rings. Generations are raised by the generation before them.

00:59:13.380 They're conditioned, for better or worse. They enter into a world that they didn't create.

00:59:19.600 So much about them is ultimately decided by the people who came before them. That's not an excuse.

00:59:24.840 It's just a simple, basic fact of human life. And it's a fact that boomers, as a group,

00:59:30.480 have never been willing to accept. You rarely see boomers look around at their children and 0.90

00:59:36.660 grandchildren and say, my God, where did we go wrong? You rarely see that. Instead, they talk

00:59:44.040 about this like they had nothing to do with it. Like they, in fact, are guilty. They, in fact,

00:59:51.020 are victims of the culture that they created. That level of introspection saying, where did we go

01:00:00.380 wrong? Seems to exceed their grasp in many cases. It also exceeds the grasp of my generation, just as

01:00:05.660 it will for the generation after us, generation Z and the ones after them. Self, you know, self 0.92

01:00:11.720 introspection is a lost art. Self-obsession we have. We're obsessed with ourselves, but actually,

01:00:21.120 you know, thinking critically about ourselves and our own choices and our own lives. That's

01:00:26.720 something that almost nobody in this country seems able to do. And this is why we have to face these

01:00:32.460 hard truths. There is a generation of children right now who collectively at the current rate are

01:00:38.100 doomed to become something really quite monstrous as they grow older. There will be exceptions. I'm

01:00:43.500 determined that my own kids will be among the exceptions, but as a group, the results are not

01:00:47.800 going to be pretty unless there's a drastic cultural sea change right now, something I'm not holding my

01:00:53.060 breath for. And then when our kids' generation, the generation of kids right now, when they come of age,

01:01:01.020 you know, those of us who are older, we're going to survey the damage and scratch our heads and say,

01:01:04.780 how could this have happened? Well, it happened because we happened. That's how it happened.

01:01:11.340 Time to take ownership. And for this reason, Jeff Foxworthy is canceled. I had to cancel someone,

01:01:20.080 so it comes back down and around to a Jeff Foxworthy. Kind of collateral damage in all of this, but

01:01:24.520 what can I do? We'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
