The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 920 - Biden Says You Can Now Identify As Gender 'X' On Your Passport

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, in honor of Trans Day of Visibility, the Biden administration has

00:00:04.440 made a number of policy changes, including allowing you to list yourself as the gender

00:00:08.520 of X on your passport. How exactly is that going to work? Also, backlash grows against Disney's

00:00:14.160 self-professed gay agenda as we at The Daily Wire announce our response to leftism in children's

00:00:19.000 entertainment. And a lesbian couple sues a fertility clinic for giving them a boy instead 0.62

00:00:23.040 of a girl. The experience of giving birth to a boy was, they say, like, quote, rape. In our daily 0.88

00:00:28.740 cancellation, people with PhDs complain about being marginalized when others fail to address

00:00:33.800 them as doctors. So, you know, we've got to cancel these people, all of that and more today on The Matt

00:00:38.740 Walsh Show. Well, if you've been listening to my show for a while, you're probably familiar with one

00:00:52.180 of our top sponsors, Rock Auto. Recently, my producer McKenna told me about her own experience shopping

00:00:57.380 with Rock Auto and how great it was for her as a person who knows nothing about cars. I don't

00:01:02.020 remember this conversation. McKenna was carpooling with her boyfriend during an ice storm and turned

00:01:06.360 on his windshield wipers before he got in the car to help get rid of the ice. But with this simple

00:01:10.880 act, she destroyed his windshield wipers and they had to drive in the rain with wipers that barely

00:01:15.000 could wipe the rain away. During the drive to work, she figured it was worth checking rockauto.com to

00:01:19.840 see if they had a replacement option for the windshield wipers. And sure enough, she was able to buy some

00:01:24.440 new windshield wipers for the car that are made to deal with ice and for a surprisingly reasonable

00:01:28.760 price. So if you're like McKenna and you like to write ad copy about yourself and you need a quick

00:01:34.260 fix or if you need to do some major repairs, you should check out rockauto.com. Once you go to

00:01:40.020 Rock Auto, you can tell that I was just telling that story from memory. A list will guide you through

00:01:44.020 every single make and model that you could possibly imagine. All you have to do is quickly find your car

00:01:48.100 and Rock Auto will give you a list of every part available for your vehicle. Included with the port

00:01:53.000 descriptions are photos and specs so you can feel confident you're choosing the correct parts. So

00:01:56.640 go to rockauto.com for your auto part needs today and write Walsh in their how did you hear about us

00:02:01.700 box so they know that I'm the one that sent you. That's rockauto.com to shop for your auto parts today.

00:02:06.760 As you may or may not have heard, today is a sacred holiday called International Trans Day of

00:02:12.120 Visibility. This is a day set aside to specially affirm, acknowledge, recognize, celebrate trans people.

00:02:18.840 And it's good that we have a day like this because there are not enough days on the calendar

00:02:23.220 specifically dedicated to honoring people who identify as LGBT. I mean, all we have right now

00:02:30.200 is International Transgender Day of Visibility and also Lesbian Visibility Day, April 26th,

00:02:36.400 and International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia, and Biphobia, May 17th, and of course,

00:02:41.120 Harvey Milk Day, May 22nd, and Pansexual and Panromantic Visibility Day, May 24th,

00:02:46.100 and obviously Pride Month in June, followed by Bisexuality Day, September 23rd, and then

00:02:51.520 obviously Bisexual Awareness Week, September 23rd to September 30th, and National Coming

00:02:57.120 Out Day, October 11th, Pronouns Day, October 16th, National LGBT Center Awareness Day, October

00:03:02.620 19th, Spirit Day, October 20th, Intersex Awareness Day, October 26th, Asexual Awareness Week, October

00:03:08.240 23rd through the 29th, and Transgender Day of Remembrance, November 20th, and Pansexual Panromantic

00:03:13.920 Pride Day, December 8th. So you see, LGBT people clearly aren't visible enough. All they have is 1.00

00:03:20.600 an entire month and a dozen other separate holidays. That's all they got. Along with really

00:03:25.540 every other day on the calendar, because no group of people on earth today or at any other time in

00:03:29.880 history have been so specially and obsessively and incessantly recognized and celebrated. There has

00:03:36.260 never been such a mismatch between a group's size and the population and their influence over the

00:03:41.560 culture. It's an influence so extreme that society itself is being reorganized as we speak in order

00:03:47.980 to cater to the demands of LGBT activists. Every institution in the country has made LGBT awareness

00:03:52.900 and activism its primary priority. Major corporations like Disney are willingly alienating 99% of their

00:04:00.580 customer base for the sake of LGBT extremism. Our very conception of reality itself, of human nature, 0.99

00:04:07.120 biology is being reordered and reshaped at the behest of LGBT activists. And the process isn't 1.00

00:04:12.740 done because, I mean, it's never done. In fact, the White House unveiled today a whole new list of

00:04:17.500 initiatives to coincide with the Trans Day of Visibility. Charlotte Clymer, who's a militant trans

00:04:23.940 activist with the Human Rights Campaign, outlined all of the new policies in a Twitter thread this

00:04:28.720 morning. So I'm going to read some of this to you. It says, the White House and federal agencies put out

00:04:32.620 a number of wonderful announcements about trans rights a few hours ago. And so I'm so excited to

00:04:36.860 tell you about them because today should be a day about trans and non-binary joy. One, the State

00:04:43.740 Department announced that starting on April 11th, U.S. citizens will be able to select X as a non-binary

00:04:49.380 gender marker on passports. They are the first federal agency to codify this inclusive policy.

00:04:55.560 Applicants can already self-select without medical documentation. Two, TSA announced that they are

00:05:01.620 updating their body scanners at airport security to move away from tech that has led to trans and 0.88

00:05:06.760 non-binary travelers experiencing frequent discrimination, reducing unnecessary and invasive

00:05:11.580 and humiliating body searches. So excited for this. Three, TSA is also working with airlines to

00:05:17.580 implement non-binary markers during the flight booking process, removing gender considerations with

00:05:22.540 validating traveler info at airport security, including non-binary markers during TSA pre-check

00:05:27.800 enrollment and CBP trusted traveler. Four, Department of Health and Human Services released a new website

00:05:35.020 that offers resources and guidance for LGBTQ youth and families to counteract several GOP-led state

00:05:40.260 governments, removing such resources from their own websites in recent months. And five, the Department

00:05:44.580 of Education's Office of Safe and Supportive Schools is expanding training with more resources to educate

00:05:49.380 school leaders and communities about the challenges facing trans and non-binary youth and their families.

00:05:54.220 And the list goes on. Clymer lays out actually 13 new trans-affirming initiatives from the White

00:06:01.540 House today and notes that it's only a partial list. But let's focus for a moment on just the first three

00:06:08.420 items. You'll now be allowed to put your gender down as X on your passport. Now, the whole point of a 0.99

00:06:15.320 passport, of course, is to provide information about your physical identity so that governments can document

00:06:21.140 and keep records of who is coming and going. That's why we have passports. So if they're going to let

00:06:26.300 you put X as your gender on your passport because that's how you feel, whatever the hell it means to 0.57

00:06:31.160 feel like an X, they might as well let you change your date of birth to better align with your self

00:06:36.320 perception. I was born on June 18th, 1986, but sometimes I feel like somebody who was born on April

00:06:42.220 4th, 1991, or August 7th, 1948. I feel like that sometimes. How does that feel? It just feels how I

00:06:55.060 feel. I'm not asking any questions about it. Why can't I change my passport to reflect that? Really,

00:07:00.660 if identity is fluid, then we shouldn't have passports at all. I mean, all the passport does

00:07:05.500 at best is capture my identity on the moment when I applied for it and took the picture.

00:07:10.940 But no passport can truly encapsulate the full essence of my ever-evolving being.

00:07:17.360 Now, you might point out that this passport change is total insanity for many reasons,

00:07:22.800 not the least of which being that the rest of the world has not signed on to this.

00:07:27.540 Your passport as an American is meant to get you into other countries. But most other countries in the

00:07:33.700 world, especially in the non-Western world, do not recognize the gender of X. You're going to have 0.99

00:07:39.480 a lot of trouble explaining your X gender to the customs agent over in Iran or Tanzania.

00:07:46.700 Has the Biden administration taken that into account? I mean, have they coordinated with every

00:07:52.560 other government in the world to make sure that this is going to be recognized? Well, of course not.

00:07:58.460 These are important practical concerns, but important practical concerns have no weight

00:08:04.560 when stacked up against a trans person's desire to be affirmed. And as established,

00:08:10.020 all of human society must be reorganized for that purpose. It's our highest purpose as a

00:08:16.720 civilization. It's our only purpose. That's why we're all here. Did you know that? It's just to

00:08:22.280 affirm LGBT people. It's the only reason you exist. Now, that explains why all of these changes are

00:08:29.620 also being made to the airport screening process. Now, at least the changes there, if this actually

00:08:35.340 happens, they reduce the airport strip searches, make the screening process less invasive, etc.

00:08:41.240 Those are mostly positive. I mean, that's assuming that this will be the case for everybody and not

00:08:46.340 just trans people. They're making it less invasive for everybody. If that's the case, that's a big if, 0.99

00:08:51.240 then I would call that a positive change. But consider the fact that travelers at American

00:08:55.880 airports have been treated like suspected drug smugglers and terrorists for 20 years. I mean,

00:09:00.820 for 20 years, just the simple fact that you want to get on a Delta Airlines flight and fly to

00:09:07.260 Cincinnati or something, that alone meant that you are suspected of terrorism and they're going to

00:09:14.620 treat you as if they have reasonable suspicion of a crime. So they're going to do all these searches

00:09:17.860 and everything else. So they've been doing that for 20 years. They've been doing pat-downs on old

00:09:22.580 ladies in wheelchairs and making kids remove their shoes in case the, you know, the little nine-year-old 1.00

00:09:27.640 is sneaking explosives in his Velcro Nikes. They've been doing all of this for multiple decades, no matter

00:09:34.280 how much we complained about it. But all it took was a few trans people feeling uncomfortable and suddenly the 0.78

00:09:39.840 whole system is being retooled. You know, you had an old lady complains about it and they say,

00:09:45.080 shut up, granny. But then a trans person complains and they say, oh no, I'm so sorry. Well, here, 1.00

00:09:50.060 let's just completely change everything for your sake. I'm sorry to have offended you. Please forgive

00:09:53.800 us. If that's not privilege and power, I don't know what is. Now, those in the audience who are

00:10:00.820 a little bit younger and only became politically aware a few years ago, or maybe people who are

00:10:05.540 older and still only became politically aware a few years ago, may be surprised to learn that LGBT

00:10:11.080 activism, at least in the mainstream, had a much different tone as recently as eight or nine years ago.

00:10:17.240 There have always been the militant factions and now there are only militant factions, but up until

00:10:21.540 recently, the LGBT rights, quote unquote, movement marched under banners that said things like, you know,

00:10:29.040 we just want to be left alone and what two consenting adults do in their bedrooms doesn't affect you.

00:10:34.500 And we just want tolerance. Now, the more perceptive among us, such as yours truly,

00:10:41.480 recognized at the time that these claims and slogans were nothing but a cover story.

00:10:47.420 But lots of people took it all at face value, believing that the activists really just wanted

00:10:51.860 to live their own lives in peace and nothing more. Those people have been taken by surprise now,

00:10:58.200 shocked to learn that actually what the activists want is not to be left alone or to be tolerated,

00:11:04.500 but to have all of society, our laws, our institutions, our lives revolve around them

00:11:11.180 and their desires. And now, everyone is finally learning that fact, but it's a little late in the

00:11:20.200 game, unfortunately. Now let's get to our five headlines. All right, so going to back down to

00:11:32.740 Florida and the backlash over the parental rights bill with people on the left still just unable to

00:11:39.880 contain their outrage that they won't be able to, at least in Florida, talk to kids at least under the

00:11:45.540 age of like third grade and younger about sexuality. I want to actually start by playing a couple clips

00:11:51.620 for you because I thought these were interesting. Here's Raven Simone, who is an actress or what is

00:11:59.180 she a singer? I don't know what she does. Oh, actress, I'm being told. Okay, so Raven Simone is an actress

00:12:04.220 and who knows what. And she is also on TikTok, she was on the Today Show and on TikTok speaking out

00:12:11.340 about the don't say gay bill, which people like her invented and doesn't exist. I want you to listen to 0.61

00:12:17.840 what she says because she actually says something that I kind of agree with. Listen.

00:12:20.720 I'm going to say this, and this is my thing. If there's a don't say gay bill, there should be a

00:12:25.940 don't say straight bill because it's not fair. And there are multiple kinds of humans in this world

00:12:32.480 and you are ruining the psyche, the confidence of so many young children because you are discrediting

00:12:39.880 their parents, the people they love, the people that raise them, the people that teach them the

00:12:44.000 manners when they walk into that school room. So if you're not going to honor their family,

00:12:48.180 your family shouldn't be honored either. So let's just make it even slash equal.

00:12:55.280 No part of that made sense whatsoever. This is a parental rights bill and somehow it dishonors

00:12:59.700 parents. So now she's concerned about parents. Parents are the ones saying, I don't want you

00:13:03.880 talking to my kids about this stuff. That's what parents are saying. So you're dishonoring parents

00:13:09.600 by not. So as a parent, if I send my six-year-old to public school in Florida, I am being dishonored

00:13:18.040 if the first grade teacher doesn't talk to my kid about their sexuality. I mean, think about how

00:13:26.220 confused and deranged you have to be to see things that way. But she does say that if we're going to

00:13:34.740 have a don't say gay bill, we should have a don't say straight bill. And we don't have a don't say

00:13:38.960 gay bill. But in this fantasy scenario where we do, don't say straight, fine. I'm good with that. 0.99

00:13:45.860 Yeah, let's not talk about that either. That's the point. There's no reason why you should be

00:13:52.700 taught, why you need to sit down with a seven-year-old in elementary school and talk about gay,

00:13:58.420 straight, anything. Anything sexual related. You don't need to talk about it. So absolutely.

00:14:06.020 Yeah, I'm on board for that. I don't want you, you don't need to teach a seven-year-old about

00:14:13.020 gayness. Neither do you need to sit down and teach them about straightness, whatever exactly that would 0.51

00:14:16.660 entail. I feel the same way about it as I do about this, the debate about sex ed. And, you know,

00:14:24.260 for so long it was, do we have comprehensive sex ed education or do we have abstinence education?

00:14:29.460 Well, I think abstinence education, if you're going to do it, is better than the so-called

00:14:34.660 comprehensive sex ed, but I'd prefer neither. How about just don't talk about it? How about you as a

00:14:41.200 public school teacher? You don't need to have this kind of conversation with my kids, whether

00:14:45.720 you're talking about abstinence or not. I mean, yeah, it's the worst thing is for public school

00:14:51.740 teachers to be, you know, telling kids about how to put on condoms and that sort of thing.

00:14:57.860 That's obviously wildly inappropriate, but I also don't, I don't really, I'm not going to entrust

00:15:03.340 a conversation about abstinence with some random public school teacher either.

00:15:07.720 It's an important message, but you can leave that to me to talk about. I don't want you to do it.

00:15:14.320 I don't trust you to do it. I don't trust you to handle that subject. And it's not appropriate

00:15:18.420 for you to be talking about it to kids who are not your own. So yeah, you don't want, you don't want

00:15:26.000 to kids to be taught about being straight in sick when they're six years old. Sure. That's not,

00:15:33.200 I don't even know what that would mean exactly. And it's not happening, but I'm on board for that.

00:15:39.620 Just stick to the actual academic subjects that are appropriate for their age. How about that for

00:15:43.360 an idea? One other quick clip. So a non-binary teacher has, is speaking out as so many others are

00:15:51.300 trying to explain why it's so important for this person who I believe is a female to be able to talk

00:16:00.680 about this. Let's listen. It makes me very angry when people don't want to talk about gender and

00:16:07.880 sexuality in classrooms, um, specifically for the reasons that students won't understand. Um, because

00:16:15.560 in my experience with teaching, that is never the case. Um, I'm a non-binary teacher and I use

00:16:22.360 the title mix. Um, and today I had 12 new students and I just go, hi, my name is mix for BQ. I use mix

00:16:31.900 instead of miss. It's a little bit different, but I'm still a teacher just the same. And they got it

00:16:37.900 right away. I got mixed instead of missed all day. Um, and it makes it, it confuses me when people use that,

00:16:48.280 um, excuse that children won't understand because students are very intelligent and they're learning

00:16:55.360 all day. It's not hard for them to learn a different type of title. Mix. How stupid does this

00:17:03.980 get? And in a way it kind of makes sense. You know, mix you are, you are pretty mixed up. It sounds like, 1.00

00:17:08.880 um, but no, that's the kids who went along with it. That's not them understanding. There's nothing

00:17:16.520 to understand. It's nonsense. Um, nobody at any age can understand the concept of being non-binary 1.00

00:17:24.620 because it's incoherent. And so it's impossible to understand for anyone. It's not that they

00:17:30.760 understand it. They just go along with it because they're kids. And also because they probably even at

00:17:37.020 a young age, I don't know how young her kids are, but it sounds like they're pretty young. Um,

00:17:42.020 her rather, I should say her students, the kids in her class, uh, no, they, they, they go along with

00:17:49.240 it. And no matter how young they are, they've probably also already noticed that they're in a

00:17:56.040 social environment where they have to just accept this kind of thing. Even if it occurred to them to

00:18:02.800 ask questions about it, a lot of kids that won't occur to them to ask questions about it.

00:18:07.020 They tend to just accept whatever, whatever reality is presented to them. A lot of adults do

00:18:11.440 that too. Kids, especially. But even if they thought, even if they had questions about it or

00:18:17.940 were unsure or felt a little weird or strange, um, given the social environment they're in, they

00:18:22.660 would, they would, these kids are not going to say that out loud because of the consequences they

00:18:27.980 would face for it. Social consequences and even actual, you know, penalties from their teachers

00:18:34.580 and administrators. So when you tell a bunch of nonsense to a kid and they sit there with a

00:18:44.680 blank expression and kind of nod their heads and say, okay, that's not them understanding.

00:18:51.780 That's them cooperating. Um, that's them being brainwashed perhaps because it's not hard to do

00:19:00.220 with little kids, but no, that's, that is, that's not what understanding is. But this is yet another

00:19:06.840 teacher who just like the kindergarten teacher we heard from yesterday, um, as far as they're

00:19:12.520 concerned, the kids are there to hear about them. These teachers think that this is what it's all

00:19:19.140 about. This is what the kids are there for to hear about them and their own lives. So their own

00:19:23.280 experiences. All right. Fox news has, uh, this story, um, says Jose Castillo, a current Walt Disney

00:19:30.940 company employee who's running for Congress in Florida as a Republican told Fox news digital

00:19:34.980 digital that the silent majority of Disney employees support the parental rights law,

00:19:40.020 uh, despite the loud minority leading Disney to take a stance against the law, which critics have

00:19:44.740 branded the don't say gay bill. Um, Castillo said there's immense pressure to tow the company line.

00:19:50.300 However, the reality is that those drawing attached to this as you are in the minority,

00:19:53.560 the Disney cast members who support the parental rights defended by HB 1557 far outnumber those who

00:19:58.780 are protesting it. I am so tired of hearing about silent majorities. I mean, it, it's probably true.

00:20:08.120 I would guess that most, I mean, Disney has tens of thousands of employees and it's probably true

00:20:14.180 spread all across the globe. And so it's probably true that the majority of them

00:20:18.920 agree that we shouldn't be talking to seven-year-olds about their sexuality.

00:20:24.760 But I'm so sick of hearing about the silent majority. It honestly makes me sick.

00:20:31.460 It makes me even more sick when conservatives take solace in it and are kind of like proud of it and

00:20:36.880 say, you see, the silent majority agrees with us. Why are you being silent? That makes it worse,

00:20:44.500 not better. I would rather, when you look at what's happening with Disney, I would rather think,

00:20:50.020 I would rather believe that 90% of Disney employees are as insane as the, these LGBT activists that are 1.00

00:20:57.520 pushing Disney in this direction. I'd rather think that, you know, 90% of them, all of them are on

00:21:01.340 board with it. That would be less frustrating to me and also even slightly less concerning

00:21:07.900 than what we're hearing about here. That this is just a small sliver of the company, a small

00:21:16.720 minority. Everybody else knows that it's crazy and they're not saying anything about it.

00:21:24.380 I don't want to hear about silent majorities anymore.

00:21:28.200 Because if you're in the majority and you're being silent, then it's, we're not, we're not on the

00:21:31.520 same, if we're on the same side, but you're silent, then we're not actually on the same side.

00:21:37.900 Um, you are on the other side, giving your affirmation through your silence.

00:21:46.000 That's what's happening. I don't want to hear about silent majorities.

00:21:49.860 Look, I get it. If you speak up and you're at Disney, if you're the only one to speak up,

00:21:55.460 then they're just going to, they're going to throw your ass out. You're, you're done. You're 0.99

00:21:58.560 going to get fired. I understand that. Now, if 80% or whatever of Disney employees don't agree

00:22:06.480 with this and all of them, or even a good portion of them speak up, well, they can't

00:22:10.700 fire everybody. But even then it's still, you're still put, you're still putting something

00:22:18.280 on the line. It's still a risk. Even if you all speak up as a group. So either way, I

00:22:22.480 totally understand this part of it, that if you speak up, you face consequences. Speak

00:22:27.180 up at your job, you face consequences. You could lose your job. That's no small thing.

00:22:30.580 You got kids to feed. I get it. I understand generally in society, it's the same deal.

00:22:37.560 You speak up, you face, you could face serious penalties for it. Just like I understand the

00:22:44.580 women on these sports teams where men are invading. If they really protested vocally, put their 0.91

00:22:52.500 name and face on that protest, not just doing it anonymously. They face serious consequences,

00:22:59.120 but at a certain point, you have to be willing to put something on the line. I mean, what's

00:23:10.500 at stake here is our whole society is at stake. Are we going to just careen at full speed into

00:23:21.040 total madness and leave that kind of world for our kids? Is this the world we're going

00:23:30.320 to leave for them? Because we're afraid to say anything and we don't want to lose our

00:23:35.580 job. And so we stay silent and just watch as our whole civilization marches off a cliff

00:23:41.400 and everything is splintered and broken on the jagged rocks below. And then we, you know,

00:23:49.500 our time on earth is done and we say to our kids, okay, well have fun with this. Hope you

00:23:54.300 figure this one out. Is that what we're going to do? Or are we going to speak up now and say

00:24:00.740 something? You know, one of the excuses people have now for not speaking up and not saying

00:24:06.980 something. And I imagine a lot of the employees at Disney, the silent majority, one of the reasons

00:24:12.420 they would give, if you were to ask them why they're not saying anything is, well, I've got

00:24:15.380 kids. And if I lose my job, it's going to make it harder to care for my kids. And I get it. But

00:24:20.240 if you don't speak up, then yeah, you'll be able to take care of your kids financially a little bit,

00:24:28.920 a little bit easier, but you've made it a lot hard. So you made your kids, you made, if you don't

00:24:34.580 speak up, then your kids' lives right now will be easier. But their lives in the future, based on

00:24:41.540 the culture and society that we're giving them, it's going to be a lot harder because of your

00:24:45.080 silence. So I'm tired of the excuses. Sometimes courage is called for in life. And this is one

00:24:52.720 of those times. You know, you got to, we got to stand up and do something. Speaking of which,

00:24:58.880 good transition here. The Daily Wire is, is doing something when it comes to many of these

00:25:05.720 problems, but especially when it comes to the leftist activism in, in children's entertainment.

00:25:13.160 So it was announced yesterday, the God King Jeremy Boring held a town hall, which was, which we

00:25:17.040 live streamed. And I guess we have, we have a clip of it. We do. Okay. So Jeremy's announcing our new

00:25:22.860 initiative here at Daily Wire. We've got so many things going on. It seems like every day we're

00:25:25.700 announcing a new thing, but it's an exciting time. And so this is the, uh, the latest venture of ours.

00:25:30.720 And let's listen to that. Because of the great reporting of Chris Ruffo, we got to see leaked

00:25:36.860 footage from inside Disney of high up Disney employees saying things like we have a not so

00:25:43.360 secret gay agenda, saying things like we insert, we, we, uh, make sure I get this quote, right. 0.91

00:25:51.520 We're adding in queerness wherever we can. And that quote, no one is trying to stop the producer

00:25:59.400 who was doing so. Another executive within the company said, if anything, we don't have enough

00:26:05.020 LGBTQIA representation in content made for very small children.

00:26:11.160 So what are we going to do about it? Well, we're going to do the same thing we always do. We're

00:26:16.540 going to build alternatives. Americans have enormous economic might. They just don't have

00:26:22.040 any alternatives. The Daily Wire is building those alternatives. And today I'm proud to tell you

00:26:27.400 that we will be launching Daily Wire Kids. Our best days can be ahead. Walt Disney said we can

00:26:33.540 accomplish all of our dreams can come true if we believe that's what we're saying. We have to

00:26:41.300 believe in that future. I don't think that the future that the Disney company is building today

00:26:45.680 is the future that Walt Disney dreamed of. I think that it's the future that's actually only being

00:26:53.440 dreamed of by a tiny segment of radicalized extreme left. I don't think that your average

00:27:00.520 Democrat wants their kids having those values inculcated in them. I don't think that anyone

00:27:06.240 in this country wants it except a tiny minority. So let them spend all of their money alienating 1.00

00:27:11.720 everybody. And we'll be over here waiting. We believe in our Daily Wire audience. We believe

00:27:16.720 that they will subscribe. In fact, if you're watching right now and you're not a dailywire.com

00:27:21.040 subscriber, I'm asking you not for a donation. I'm asking you not begging. I'm asking you go buy

00:27:28.060 something. Something of real value. Go buy a membership to the Daily Wire. Go buy a membership

00:27:33.580 to Jeremy's Razors. Put your money where your mouth is. Come take part with us in building the

00:27:40.900 future. In fact, if you go to dailywire.com slash build the future right now, you can become a

00:27:45.600 dailywire.com member. If you want to, because I know the price is high, if you want to save a little

00:27:50.540 money, you could use promo code build the future and we'll give you 45% off. Or don't. Because we need

00:27:57.620 all the money that we can get. What is it worth to you? What's it worth to you to have content that

00:28:03.820 you can trust your children with? What's it worth to you to have entertainment that doesn't sucker 1.00

00:28:07.800 punch you every time you turn it on? What's it worth to you to have a good shave without believing

00:28:13.380 that the company that's selling you the razor wants to cut your throat? Figuratively.

00:28:20.700 So Daily Wire Kids will be, we're putting a lot of money into this investing. It'll be,

00:28:25.440 it'll be officially launched next year. But yeah, this is the time. This is the time to subscribe,

00:28:32.120 become a subscriber, help us in this, this mission. I mean, I know as a parent,

00:28:36.540 even before all this stuff with Disney, this is, you talk to other parents, it's like one of the,

00:28:41.640 one of the primary complaints that you have. And there's a lot of reasons to complain as a parent

00:28:45.140 in modern society. But this is what, this is one of the main things that, you know, it's,

00:28:51.100 you want to find just some entertainment for your kids. It's not that you want to put your kid,

00:28:55.620 or at least you shouldn't want to put your kid in front of a TV all day. And there are parents

00:28:58.820 that do that and they shouldn't, but why should it be so hard to find at least some entertainment

00:29:05.380 for your kids that they can just watch? And it's, and you can be confident that there's not going to

00:29:12.380 be not just like little hints of liberalism here and there, but far left activism in the entertainment

00:29:20.080 itself. And I know from experience, just like any other parent knows, it's very hard. You cannot

00:29:26.160 trust anything these days. You can't just put on any show and say, oh, that'll be fine. Up until

00:29:34.100 a year ago, you know, eight or nine months ago, you might've thought you could do that with a show

00:29:39.940 like, I don't know, Blue's Clues. You would've thought about Blue's Clues. It's a show about

00:29:44.520 a cartoon dog and he's going around his house looking for a stapler or something. And that's

00:29:48.600 like the whole episode. How could you possibly make that into far left radicalism? Well, now you

00:29:56.220 turn on Blue's Clues and you see episodes with talking about, with drag queens singing about 0.54

00:30:00.520 pansexuals. So that's how bad it's gotten. That's why we've got Daily Wire kids. Go to dailywire.com 1.00

00:30:06.800 and become a subscriber today. Okay. So from the Daily Wire as well, it says a Buffalo-based

00:30:11.160 lesbian couple is suing CNY Fertility Clinic in New York for allegedly giving them the wrong embryo.

00:30:19.800 Heather Wilhelm Routenberg and Robin Routenberg Wilhelm explicitly requested that they have a baby

00:30:25.320 daughter after undergoing fertility treatments. However, the couple was devastated to find out

00:30:30.140 that they were expecting a son. Now they're responding with legal action against the fertility

00:30:34.600 clinic, claiming that Heather became suicidal after her son's birth and entered a dark depression

00:30:38.900 upon finding out that she was carrying a baby boy. Upon first finding out the child was male at her

00:30:45.060 15-week appointment, Heather said she became convinced the IVF clinic mixed up the embryos 0.85

00:30:48.760 that she was actually carrying somebody else's baby. Heather told Amy Klein at the Post,

00:30:53.420 I looked at Robbie and said, what if it's not yours? Who's in my body? That's when I flipped out.

00:30:57.420 That's when I felt my body was taken hostage.

00:30:59.220 Um, continuing, uh, we scheduled an ultrasound for the next day. That was the worst night of my life.

00:31:05.880 I had this overwhelming sense of immobility. I remember lying in my bedroom thinking this can't

00:31:10.060 be happening. Not only was the baby in my body, not ours, but the baby in my body was male and he

00:31:15.540 was put there against my will, just like rape. Um, and then it goes on. I can't even continue reading 0.89

00:31:22.620 this entire thing. It's so disgusting, but they gave birth to the, to the child. And now they're

00:31:31.000 saying it's, it's as if she was raped. So who is the rapist in this analogy? The baby? I suppose

00:31:38.580 that's what it's looked at, how it seemed. Now she says that this child was putting my body against my

00:31:44.140 will. Of course, that's not the case at all. You, you very much chose to undergo this procedure.

00:31:49.040 And this is one of the consequences of when, when we treat human life, like a commodity

00:31:58.080 and we treat conception, like some sort of science experiment that we do in a Petri dish.

00:32:05.440 Okay. This is one of the consequences. And I don't mean consequence of embryos could get mixed up or

00:32:10.020 whatever, and you don't get exactly what you ordered, ordered. I mean, that is one of the

00:32:13.680 consequences, but just think about the way we're talking about this. You ordered it like it's a catalog,

00:32:18.780 like you ordered a, you know, jacket from LL Bean or something. And this is human life.

00:32:24.760 And the real consequence is that you start to see human life as a commodity. And then what you get

00:32:30.120 the wrong one, quote unquote, and you want to return it and you're suing because it was a, you know,

00:32:34.520 a mistake in the customer service end of things. Treating human life like a commodity. That's the

00:32:41.060 consequence. And where it all becomes about you, right? So for this lesbian couple, the child is 0.81

00:32:50.800 all about them. They're having this child to serve their own emotional needs. It's not about the child.

00:32:57.840 It's not about loving the child and caring for the child. It's about them.

00:33:04.400 And they also believe, and this is another problem with, you know, the surrogacy, IVF,

00:33:12.380 all this stuff, is that it carries with it this idea that you have a right. We talked about this

00:33:19.800 last week. It's like this idea that you have a, you have a right to a child when in fact you don't.

00:33:26.580 Now, if you have a child as a parent, then you have a right to care for your children.

00:33:30.520 If they're not have that superseded by the government, those are your parental rights.

00:33:34.680 But you don't have an underlying human right to have a child to begin with.

00:33:40.460 That's not a right that exists, but that's the way we see it now.

00:33:44.340 And so these women thought, well, I have a right. I have a right to a child. And then I get the, 1.00

00:33:47.660 I get to quote the wrong one. Well, my rights have been infringed upon. And so now you have to

00:33:51.800 pay me. So that's the consequence of treating human life like it's a commodity. This is just

00:33:56.040 one, it's one of the more egregious examples, but we see it all the time in our society. Now,

00:33:59.720 moving on to this, the Will Smith slapper around the world continues to draw reactions. And it's

00:34:08.580 pretty clear now that at least on, on the race hustling left, you know, the, the, the narrative is that

00:34:16.140 he's entitled to respond that way because, well, because he's a, a, a black man in defense of,

00:34:22.940 of his wife. And so he's, I guess, entitled to, to, to hit anybody that he wants to hit. 0.97

00:34:28.300 And also what we're being told, and here's one viral video from someone who's making this point 0.79

00:34:33.060 that if you're a white person, you really shouldn't be talking about this at all. It's

00:34:37.580 this, it's not your place. Like Will Smith can walk up on stage during the Oscars and physically

00:34:41.960 assault someone. And he's entitled to do that. But if you're a white person, you're not entitled

00:34:46.660 to even have an opinion about it. At least that's what we're told. Listen.

00:34:53.080 What happened at the Oscars is not something white people need to speak on right away. There

00:34:56.660 is so much nuance and complexity and layers that you will not be able to understand through your

00:35:01.720 white experience without education and listening to specifically black women, which we all know many

00:35:07.600 people don't. So when you share your perspective or your education on what you perceive to have

00:35:13.200 happened last night, it's coming through your white lens, which has you on a place of moral high

00:35:17.800 ground. Black's understanding of black trauma has such an emphasis on this binary of who is good or

00:35:23.060 who is bad centers violence only actually continues to minimize black women and their pain. And most

00:35:29.260 annoyingly continues to center yourself on that really just is not your business. So just take some

00:35:34.800 time. Take a minute. You don't have to respond right away. Really try and look at the entire

00:35:39.580 situation before you speak on the shiny, easy grab. Because what you fail to see through your white 0.95

00:35:45.340 lens was the actual violence occurring. The continued violence that is ableism and that is misogynoir.

00:35:52.460 Oh, okay. Well, yeah, just let us know, whoever you are, when we're allowed to speak and have an

00:35:58.080 opinion about this event that occurred and we all saw and everybody was talking about. Just let us know.

00:36:02.380 Just, you know, we'll all shut up collectively and we'll wait for you, whoever you are on TikTok.

00:36:09.700 Because we're the entitled ones, right? We're the ones who are entitled. I mean, she's just

00:36:14.200 instructing an entire race of people, letting us know the opinions we're allowed to have and not have.

00:36:19.500 But we're entitled. Oh, no. And also, we're trying to make it about us, not her. She's not the one

00:36:24.500 doing that. We're doing that. If you're wondering about this misogynoir term, and it's a new

00:36:32.080 leftist buzzword every day, and this seems to be, or at least every week, every week there's a new

00:36:36.240 one. This is the leftist buzz phrase of the week. And it's, I just looked it up because that's not

00:36:41.960 the first time I've heard it this week. Misogynoir is, according to Wikipedia, is misogyny directed

00:36:48.080 towards black women where race and gender both play roles in bias. The term was coined by black 0.79

00:36:54.540 feminist Moya Bailey in 2010. And now it's, so it's, that's the other thing they do is like,

00:37:00.020 you take this term that just some random leftist came up with. And then, and like two people have

00:37:07.140 ever heard in their lives. And then they just start like using it as if everyone is supposed to know

00:37:11.520 what this gibberish means. But it's very effective because then people do exactly what I just did

00:37:16.420 there. You look it up like, what does that, what does that mean? Okay. And then it enters into the

00:37:20.640 lexicon. So, um, if, if a black woman is the subject of alleged sexism, it's not good enough 0.55

00:37:27.420 to just say misogyny like everybody else. So she gets her special label, which is misogynoir and all

00:37:33.200 this, this whole thing is very nuanced, the whole situation. Well, it's actually not nuanced at all.

00:37:37.060 It's like, it's probably one of the least nuanced public events in recent memory.

00:37:45.640 It was someone standing up at an award show and slapping another guy because they didn't like a joke

00:37:49.300 that was being told. There's no nuance to it whatsoever. Very straightforward.

00:37:54.480 All right. This, um, quick follow-up from the Daily Wire says, Representative Madison Cawthorn,

00:37:58.980 um, allegedly admitted to House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy during a meeting on Wednesday that

00:38:03.160 his claims that senior lawmakers have used cocaine in front of him and invited him to their homes for

00:38:07.820 orgies are not true. Played the clip yesterday of Madison Cawthorn on some podcast making comparison

00:38:14.020 to House of Cards and saying that real life DC is similar to House of Cards and claiming that he

00:38:19.120 had actually been invited to orgies, um, involving other members of Congress. Only, uh, he said that

00:38:24.360 he was invited the way he phrased it to sexual get togethers and that he also had witnessed

00:38:30.340 other politicians, uh, using cocaine right in front of him. And, um, this led to outrage among

00:38:37.680 members of Congress. You might say they protest a little bit too much. And, um,

00:38:43.600 and now they're saying, uh, McCarthy is saying that he admitted that it was, uh, that it was an

00:38:48.960 exaggeration. Um, although he has not said that himself. Here's, here's what I'll say. Like I said

00:38:54.700 yesterday, it, it does not seem at all outlandish to me that this kind of thing goes on. I mean,

00:39:02.980 we know it goes on. We had, uh, we, we had, like we talked about yesterday, a member of Congress

00:39:09.820 having threesomes with her staff members. So we know this kind of thing goes on drug use. I'm sure 1.00

00:39:15.440 it goes on. Um, do they invite each other to these events that explicitly? I don't know.

00:39:26.240 So I don't know whether Madison Cawthorne actually, you know, encountered this or not,

00:39:32.380 but I, but I will say that if you did encounter something like that, then you should name names.

00:39:38.040 Like I'm, I'm willing to believe that this stuff goes on, but if you were, if you know about it,

00:39:45.540 you know, who's doing it, if you actually saw a member of Congress, you know, do cocaine right

00:39:51.320 in front of you, then tell us who put names attached to it. That's the other thing I'm sick

00:39:57.760 of along with the silent majority. I'm, I'm tired of hearing these stories. Oh yeah. The things I've

00:40:02.140 seen, you wouldn't believe, but tell me about it. You've watched, you've watched members of

00:40:07.320 Congress, break the law right in front of you. Tell us who did it, put their name on it. If you're

00:40:11.820 not going to do it, then just, there's no point in bringing it up to begin with. Let's get now to

00:40:17.260 the comment section. All right. We've got one video comment of somebody who has actually dared to

00:40:32.960 disagree with me, I believe. And let's listen to him make his argument.

00:40:37.200 Hi, Matt. I respectfully disagree with you on the point that you made regarding that Republicans

00:40:43.600 voted to pass the anti-lynching bill. You said they should have voted against it. I would say no,

00:40:49.460 because if they voted against it, they would have given the Democrats exactly what they want.

00:40:56.080 So we know that Democrats are race hustlers. They keep making up straw men regarding racism in the

00:41:04.760 country so that they give the American people the impression that they are the party that is

00:41:10.300 fighting for a quote unquote racial justice. So if Republicans didn't vote to pass the anti-lynching

00:41:16.300 bill, they would have given them exactly what they want. They would have given Democrats

00:41:20.080 a huge ammo for years to come. So I'm glad they voted to pass it. But at the same time,

00:41:29.680 they should have pointed out that it is a charade. We're voting for it, but we know it's just a

00:41:37.620 charade. But because we're always the party that looks at people as equal human beings, that's what

00:41:44.720 they should have done. And SBG for life.

00:41:52.540 Well, don't give me that at the end after you've dared to contradict me on my own show. No, I look,

00:41:57.800 I completely disagree with you. For one thing, they cannot vote for it and then say we're voting

00:42:05.020 for it, but it's a charade. None of them did, right? I mean, they just voted for it and didn't

00:42:08.280 talk about it. The few members, the few Republicans who called it a charade, called it what it is,

00:42:13.740 didn't vote for it. And that's the way it has to be. If you're going to vote for it, you can't also

00:42:17.780 come out and say this is all empty virtue signaling because then the obvious comeback is, well, why

00:42:23.520 are you voting for it then? So you're voting for something that you know that you acknowledge is

00:42:27.340 an empty charade. You're wasting everyone's time and you're voting for it anyway. It just makes you

00:42:31.000 a coward. You're amplifying your own cowardice. You're admitting to it if you do that. So either 1.00

00:42:36.900 you vote for it and you say nothing or you don't vote for it, you explain why. Those are the only

00:42:44.800 two options that you really have. And they chose the path of least resistance, the most cowardly path

00:42:50.880 as always, and just voted for it. And yes, I understand that's the reason why. The reason

00:42:55.380 that you outline is the reason why they voted for it. It's because they didn't want the headline,

00:42:58.580 oh, Republicans vote against, um, vote against anti-lynching law, but they're still going to be

00:43:06.180 subject to the racism charge regardless. This doesn't change that at all. So it really doesn't

00:43:12.440 make a difference. And rather than just assuming that the left is going to win the narrative game

00:43:20.260 ahead of time, so you don't even play, rather than doing that, how about counteract the narrative?

00:43:25.660 Explain why. It can't just be a couple of Republicans, but they all have to be on the

00:43:31.260 same page or at least most of them. And you flip it back around. See that you're assuming just like

00:43:37.460 the Republicans do that they're going to lose the narrative battle ahead of time. So they don't

00:43:41.260 even bother. And it's not like this is only, I mean, it is only empty virtue signaling, but

00:43:48.680 it's not like it has a neutral effect because the point of passing this bill, yeah, it's to give

00:43:56.900 Democrats a chance to virtue signal. It's to give Joe Biden a chance to virtue signal, but also it's

00:44:02.040 to send the message, to give the impression to the American people that this kind of bill is number

00:44:08.020 one necessary and number two, um, had not been passed in the past because of racism. So all at once

00:44:16.380 they're sending a, they're, they're reaffirming this false narrative about America's past and our

00:44:23.100 present because the impression they want to give to people is that, well, we need an anti-lynching

00:44:28.620 law because people are still getting lynched, which isn't true. And also that this law was never,

00:44:33.480 was never, um, was never signed in the past because of, uh, because of all the systemic racism,

00:44:38.800 racism, which is also not true. So it's not a neutral thing. You go along with it and you're

00:44:45.260 also, you're not just going along with the bill itself. You're going along with the narrative

00:44:49.120 that is attached to it. I mean, what's next? What if, what if, uh, I mean, next they're going to

00:44:57.580 sign a law, they're going to have a law specifying that you're not allowed to, I don't know, 0.99

00:45:03.240 burn gay people at the stake. We need, we need a specific law for that. Even though that's already 1.00

00:45:10.560 illegal, 15 different ways to Sunday, we need a specific law for that. The anti-burning gay people 0.99

00:45:16.420 at the stake law. You're going to vote for that too. I mean, let's just go through each hypothetical 0.64

00:45:22.000 violent act that could be, that horrible violent act that could be committed. And we need a federal

00:45:26.640 law specifically against each of those things. Where does it end? Should Republicans go along

00:45:34.100 with that as well? No, at a certain point, how about just going with the truth, telling people

00:45:39.500 the truth, trusting people to understand it. All right, let's see. Jared Hyman says,

00:45:45.640 little bit of fact checking things that are falling do not continue to accelerate indefinitely. They

00:45:50.640 eventually reach terminal velocity, which it does seem like Disney has now reached a lot of,

00:45:54.660 a lot of comments correcting me on the physics. I knew I should not have made an analogy that had

00:45:58.800 to do with physics, but in fairness to me, I never said that things fall indefinitely and,

00:46:03.080 or rather increase in velocity indefinitely. I just said they increase in velocity, then they hit the

00:46:06.740 ground, whatever. But then I also, I switched the, I switched the analogy and then I was talking about

00:46:11.560 black holes and what happens there. I mean, I imagine your velocity increases as you enter into the

00:46:17.200 black hole, right? Or we're just going to, we're going to stop. I'm going to, I'm going to quit while I'm behind.

00:46:24.660 DNA Studios says, one thing about the Will Smith thing is if it was real, why at the moment his

00:46:32.160 hand slapped Rock's face, there was a thud. Now, if you've ever slapped someone's skin, it doesn't

00:46:37.060 sound like a thud. Think about that one. I know it just, it sounds like someone getting slapped in

00:46:42.500 the face. Just why are you so desperate for this to be a conspiracy? There, there are enough actual

00:46:47.900 real world conspiracies that we don't need this one. This, this is not only a dumb conspiracy 0.99

00:46:56.120 theory, but it's the lamest one imaginable. It's like, focus your energies elsewhere is what I 0.99

00:47:02.480 would say. All is grace says is someone who is multiple, who has multiple rare diseases, as well

00:47:08.680 as a mother of a young daughter who has the same and has ADHD. This false diversity and inclusion can be 0.89

00:47:13.860 very irritating. How many disabled and or neurodiverse people does Disney include in their

00:47:19.420 offerings? This is not coming from a victim mentality mindset. There are legitimate diversities out there

00:47:24.480 and our world could be a much better place for all of us if those who wanted to be inclusive really

00:47:29.540 were. But alas, it's not about that. It's about the agenda. I understand what you're saying. I can't,

00:47:34.840 I can't go along with you here. I can't, I can't join you on this ride because number one,

00:47:38.320 you're using the ridiculous term neurodiverse. Um, but also how about this? Um, just tell good

00:47:49.360 stories, like have the characters in the stories that need to be there in order for it to be a

00:47:55.360 compelling story. I don't think we need to counter the leftist thing about diversity and inclusion by

00:48:01.740 saying, Oh, you know what? Uh, no, they actually don't have enough diversity and inclusion. We need

00:48:06.400 even more of it. I don't, I don't think that's the right response. It's just tell the story.

00:48:12.320 We don't need to have a chart where we're keeping track. Okay. Do we have this identity

00:48:17.260 represented this identity that it? No, just, just tell the story. That's all. Well, in a world of

00:48:21.880 woke razors sold by men who cave to the demands of social justice warriors, you can now use a razor

00:48:26.800 that pivots, but doesn't cave. And yes, I'm talking about the daily wire and our new razor company,

00:48:30.600 Jeremy's razors. If you aren't one of the 45,000 Americans who already purchased Jeremy's razors

00:48:34.340 subscriptions, then head over to I hate harrys.com to get your founder's kit and subscription. Now

00:48:39.360 the launch of our new razor company has been extremely successful. And because of this

00:48:42.740 tremendously positive response, we're actively working to expand the Jeremy's razors team

00:48:46.100 in Nashville, Tennessee. Specifically, Jeremy's razors is currently looking for an executive

00:48:49.860 president, rather executive vice president, as well as a director of consumer experience.

00:48:53.840 This is a huge opportunity to not just sell razors, but to be on the front lines of taking back the

00:48:57.980 power from woke corporations. If you're interested, head to dailywire.com slash careers. This is your chance to join

00:49:04.140 us. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:49:09.960 Today, I'm pleased to cancel Ms. Ayo Sakai. She describes herself as an author, poet, political

00:49:16.520 scientist, and linguist activist. I can only assume she added something as nonsensical and meaningless

00:49:21.540 as linguist activist into her bio to distract from how nonsensical and meaningless the term political

00:49:26.540 scientist already is. But in any case, all of these titles are secondary to Ms. Sakai. As she explained in

00:49:32.620 a viral tweet, the most important thing that you should know about her and the thing that you really

00:49:37.420 must know, everyone must know it, they must know it simply by looking at her somehow. The most important

00:49:43.220 detail is that she has a PhD. So she posted, it is time to normalize the doctorate. It is not miss,

00:49:50.120 it's doctor. It's not Mrs., Mr., Sir, or Ma'am. It's doctor. Not only at conferences, seminars,

00:49:55.540 or academic spaces, it's at the grocery store, the hospital, the church, the airport, children's

00:49:59.780 schools. It's doctor! Exclamation point. Okay, chief, whatever you say. Now, before we engage with

00:50:06.800 this in more detail, we should note all of the other whiny academics in the comments who concurred.

00:50:12.200 For example, Margaret Maloney, PhD, says, I'm with you on this. Why should I be made to feel like I'm

00:50:17.520 being snotty because I want to be called by my official title and not Miss or Ma'am? But Dr.

00:50:22.380 Elizabeth Craig agreed, I literally have a visceral reaction when I'm in a setting that I should be

00:50:26.860 called doctor and I'm called Miss or Mrs. Dr. Sean Helfian offered this, this aversion to using earned

00:50:34.600 honorifics from accredited institutions reveals more the intellectual inferiority complex of the people

00:50:39.740 who refuse to accept them than the justified insistence of those who earn them. By the way, Dr. Sean is a

00:50:45.940 plant ecologist. He spent seven years reading about plants and he wants you to acknowledge that fact

00:50:52.080 every time you address him. You can't just say, hey, Sean, or hey, you self-important, pompous,

00:50:57.820 little, useless goober, which would be more accurate. You must say Dr. Sean or Dr. self-important, 0.99

00:51:03.860 pompous, little, useless goober. Whatever you say, Sean needs you to make verbal note of all of the 0.98

00:51:09.280 ecology textbooks he read. Of course, even if you're the sort of person who would be inclined to stroke the

00:51:15.000 ego of fragile, narcissistic, alleged intellectuals like these, you may still be confused as to how

00:51:20.500 you're supposed to know that they have these academic credentials. Sakai wants you to call her

00:51:25.740 doctor at the grocery store. Well, is she wearing her cap and gown to the grocery store? Does she

00:51:30.960 walk around with a sandwich board sign with a resume written on it? Actually, if she did, the sign would

00:51:36.000 be blank because she has no resume. None of these people do anything or have any discernible skills.

00:51:40.600 The point is just that the doctorate is not public knowledge. Unless you spread word about your

00:51:45.400 doctorate through a media PR campaign, a la Jill Biden, most people simply aren't going to know

00:51:50.560 otherwise. And if they do know, who cares? Why should they have to address you accordingly?

00:51:56.140 I'm unlikely to call even a medical doctor doctor outside of a medical context. The funny thing,

00:52:01.740 though, is that most medical doctors I know don't insist on being called doctor. The doctors who seem

00:52:07.040 hell-bent on being called doctors are the fake doctors, like the ones in this Twitter thread and

00:52:11.780 the one married to the president. You can't at least see why it might be useful to identify and

00:52:17.080 acknowledge medical doctors in everyday life. Situations can arise where a doctor might be

00:52:21.780 needed. So, you know, there's that reason alone. There's a practical reason why it's nice to know who

00:52:27.480 the doctors are. But it's hard to imagine an emergency that would require a plant ecologist.

00:52:32.000 As essential and necessary as Ayo Sakai might see herself. I doubt there's ever been a time

00:52:37.540 when somebody rushed into a room and shouted, help, we need a political scientist, hurry. 0.77

00:52:42.900 Also, a linguist activist would be helpful as well if we get both. But this is all part of the

00:52:48.080 narcissism of the age, I think. There's a reason why people who put titles in front of their names

00:52:52.560 and letters after them are also prone to listing their pronouns. It's the same sort of thing.

00:52:56.260 People are constantly seeking to be affirmed, acknowledged, you know, because they're empty inside.

00:53:00.740 They're obsessed with identity, but the identity is exactly what they lack, ironically.

00:53:05.140 They're not grounded in anything. They're rootless and hollow. They're addicted to

00:53:08.500 acknowledgement. They're desperate for affirmation. I remember there was this weird and pretty bad

00:53:14.060 horror movie that I watched several years ago. I forget what it was called, but there was a sudden

00:53:18.300 darkness that falls over the country and people disappear into the darkness and essentially like

00:53:24.480 dematerialize. Like I said, it's weird. But as each character disappears into the abyss,

00:53:29.260 they start muttering, I exist, I exist over and over again, as they try helplessly to reassert their

00:53:35.220 own existence. I think something similar is happening in our culture today. People feel as

00:53:40.420 though they're constantly on the verge of non-existence and they depend on everybody else,

00:53:44.780 on every passing stranger on the street to affirm them, to like hold them in existence.

00:53:50.800 They seem to fear that if they're not acknowledged in exactly the way they want to be acknowledged,

00:53:54.840 they'll disappear. In fact, you often hear people like this complain about being erased.

00:54:01.620 And I think that fear is perhaps more literal than we realize. People who spent hundreds of

00:54:06.480 thousands of dollars and years of their lives just to earn a title that they can put on their names and

00:54:10.400 you know, they are often going to be the most desperate for this kind of affirmation. That's

00:54:14.940 precisely why they went through all of that effort to begin with. And I say all of this as a

00:54:20.580 scholar of women's studies myself, even though I'm a best-selling women's studies author of the book,

00:54:25.860 What is a Woman? Available for pre-order at whatisawoman.com, which is based on the film,

00:54:29.420 which will soon be released. You can also watch the teaser at whatisawoman.com. In spite of all that,

00:54:34.580 and of the fact that my status as the nation's preeminent women's studies expert and LGBT children's

00:54:39.440 author essentially makes me a doctor as well, I still do not insist on having those achievements

00:54:44.100 recognized all the time. I just want them to recognize most of the time. Well, all the time,

00:54:49.740 I guess, but I'm the exception. As for the rest of these fake doctors desperate for attention

00:54:54.840 and for affirmation, they are all today, of course, canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
