Today on the Matt Wall Show, leaked internal videos show that my children's book, Johnny
00:00:03.760
the Walrus, has traumatized and triggered Amazon's employees. They are literally in tears over it,
00:00:09.060
and it's the greatest moment of my career. We'll talk about it today. Also, conservative accounts
00:00:12.720
on Twitter see huge spikes in followers right as it's announced that Elon Musk is buying the
00:00:16.680
company. What's going on there? And more disturbing information about the children's book, quote,
00:00:20.980
unquote, from the American Academy of Pediatrics that pushes chemical castration on nine-year-olds,
00:00:25.560
plus a NASCAR driver is sent to sensitivity training for posting a racist meme, but was
00:00:31.120
the meme actually racist? And in our daily cancellation, more leaked videos. This time,
00:00:35.180
it's administrators and leftist activists meeting to game plan protests against my speech tonight at
00:00:40.360
Wisconsin Superior. But why are school administrators helping to plan protests?
00:00:44.400
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

If your retirement account has been heavy on stocks for a while, I have some great news for
00:01:01.460
you. You've won. The value of your IRA or 401k has likely ballooned thanks to the longest bull
00:01:06.340
market run in U.S. history. But after every bull run comes a recession. And right now, stock valuations
00:01:11.700
are at historic highs, only seen before the Great Depression and the dot-com crash. In the face of
00:01:16.620
teetering global stability, stock volatility is way up. So maybe it's time to take some of your chips

My friends, my sweet babies, I've had some proud moments in my career so far, even back when I
00:02:04.040
was screaming at the dashboard in my car while parked in a Walmart parking lot, which is where
00:02:07.740
I did a lot of my shows back then for some reason. But even then, on occasion, there would be a
00:02:12.600
milestone, which to me was significant. Since then, there have been other personal achievements,
00:02:16.100
which meant a lot to me. But nothing in my career can come close to this, to the knowledge
00:02:21.080
that my best-selling children's book, Johnny the Walrus, traumatized, terrified, and triggered
00:02:26.320
their own words, Amazon's employees. This is the pinnacle, the summit. It's all downhill from here,
00:02:33.060
I'm afraid. So yesterday, my friend lives with TikTok, released the video from an Amazon internal
00:02:38.960
meeting where employees discussed, complained about, and consoled each other over my books.
00:02:45.740
Actually, my book's plural, not just Johnny the Walrus. The whole thing is so perfect,
00:02:49.520
so on the nose, that you might suspect I scripted it and staged it all myself. It begins with one
00:02:55.920
of the leaders of the meeting talking about the trauma that my book about walruses has caused.
00:03:03.520
It's been a very traumatic experience for transgender Amazonians and our transgender customers. What I
00:03:12.380
don't want to come out of this is slamming the books team with a bunch of tickets. They are already
00:03:24.160
aware of this. There are things in this space that are happening.
00:03:27.760
I take it back. I could not have scripted this because if I had, I never would have included the
00:03:35.380
line transgender Amazonians. That would have seemed too absurd, too contrived. It's the kind of lunacy
00:03:43.280
that only an authentic leftist in his natural environment could come up with. Transgender
00:03:47.880
Amazonian sounds like some kind of mythical character. And well, if the shoe fits. Also,
00:03:55.520
note how he says that the books team is, quote, aware and, quote, there are things in this space
00:04:01.200
that are happening. In other words, they are actively trying to suppress the book. That's
00:04:06.020
what he's saying. Unsuccessfully, very unsuccessfully, as it turns out, because right now the book is
00:04:12.200
just surging on the charts. It's in the top five. It's been in the top five for a day, but they're
00:04:17.880
trying. And it's the fact that they've been so unsuccessful and that I was able to figure out a
00:04:23.580
way to navigate the system, a system designed to make sure that people like me fail that makes
00:04:28.600
them all the more enraged, as we'll see a little bit later on. For now, though, let's keep on
00:04:35.580
Johnny the Walrus is a bit of a problematic book. Not a bit. It is not a bit of a problem. It's one
00:04:46.620
hell of a problem. And I would preface this about what the book's about, but the customer
00:04:57.720
Need to keep a running list here of superlatives to add to the book cover when we do a second
00:05:03.460
printing or actually a third printing, because the first printing sold out in a day, if you hadn't
00:05:08.880
heard. So he's already given me some good ones. Problematic, traumatic, and one hell of a problem.
00:05:14.620
That last one's especially great. I hope that I want that on my tombstone when I die. One hell
00:05:19.480
of a problem. The customer who called in to complain, one of many complaints, we're told. So
00:05:23.560
we're told this is kind of like a representative sample. But this customer certainly agrees with
00:05:29.100
all those assessments about me and about the book and has a whole lot more to say about it. Let's
00:05:33.620
listen. I just checked your website and the book is still up on there. I hate to tell you, but
00:05:46.520
it says that the book that it is shipped and sold from you. It is by Matt Walsh. It is teaching kids
00:05:58.620
to kill, well, to bully transgenders. Yeah, to bully them into committing suicide, the LGBTQIA,
00:06:10.220
especially transgenders. The story is about a kid who likes to pretend he's different things. And one
00:06:19.640
day he pretends he's a walrus. And the community tells him he either has to be a human, or he has to
00:06:29.140
be a walrus, or they're going to kill him. He can't be both. He can't pretend anymore. Now the author
00:06:35.520
Matt Walsh just tweeted this yesterday morning at 8.04am. I now have the number one anti-LGBT book in the
00:06:49.160
country. Any further criticism of me or my book is homophobic. Checkmate. You are selling a manual
00:07:02.960
how to teach kids to bully other kids to commit suicide. You know what? Honestly, I'm really mad
00:07:11.960
because I have a sibling that is a member of the LGBTQ, so I'm really mad as well right now.
00:07:19.160
Now, if I was inclined to call people Karens, I'd certainly say that this person fits the bill. I
00:07:25.860
don't call people that because it's an anti-white racial slur. So instead, we'll just stick with
00:07:29.860
calling her a shrill, hectoring wench. Maybe The View should give her a call. She'd be perfect,
00:07:34.880
I think, as a co-host. You might actually be someone from The View. She also lies about the content of the
00:07:39.800
book claiming that I instruct kids to kill or at least bully transgenders. In this rather dark and
00:07:45.980
gritty reimagining of my original story, she says that in my book, Johnny the Walrus, Johnny is told
00:07:52.640
by the community that they'll kill him if he doesn't stop pretending to be a walrus. None of that
00:07:58.260
actually happens in the book. I mean, it's been a little while since I wrote it. I admit, I'll go back
00:08:04.080
and check, but I don't think, I don't remember including any lines in there about killing
00:08:09.160
transgenders or the community telling Johnny that stop pretending to be a walrus or we'll kill you.
00:08:15.300
That's not in there. In fact, nothing like that happens. And it makes me concerned for the woman's
00:08:21.300
health. I know that you can actually get, and this is true, this is a medical fact, I think,
00:08:27.540
that you can get brain worms from exposure to too much cat litter. And so I'm concerned that this
00:08:33.740
cat lady may be suffering from that condition. I mean, jokes on the worms though, in that case,
00:08:38.500
because they made it up to her head and looked around and found out the place was empty.
00:08:42.640
She then says that, that I called my own book, the number one anti-LGBT book in the country. In fact,
00:08:47.880
I didn't say that I called it because it was and will always be, in my heart, the number one LGBT
00:08:54.500
book in the country, not anti-LGBT book. So she lied about that too, or hallucinated it. Meanwhile,
00:09:00.580
the Amazon employee on the phone listens to all this and nods along in agreement.
00:09:05.520
You know, he's angry too, he says, by this book that the lady just made up. And keep in mind that
00:09:09.980
Amazon itself, they are playing this complaint for the other employees and endorsing it. I mean,
00:09:17.020
they said upfront that they like agree with this, that this is a good description of the book while
00:09:21.540
she just makes up a version of the book that doesn't exist. But we somehow have yet to make it to
00:09:28.160
the best parts. Things get more emotional in a second video as the employees continue to lament
00:09:33.900
the many ways in which I abused, committed violence against their algorithms. Listen.
00:09:41.280
It's bad faith. It's basically abuse of Amazon systems. And they're, they're, they're intentionally
00:09:48.600
like when I say they, I mean like Matt Walsh and his publishing, publishing company and other
00:09:56.420
people like him are taking advantage of Amazon and how the Amazon algorithms work to promote their
00:10:03.480
particular brand of hate and harm on the community. I have taken advantage of Amazon without Amazon's
00:10:13.040
clear and affirmative consent. I have used and abused and manhandled its algorithms. This is the
00:10:20.340
worst case of algorithmic abuse the world has ever seen. And we aren't done. I mean, if you're,
00:10:25.260
if you're worried that so far they've cried over one of my trolling schemes, but have neglected to
00:10:30.320
mention my other ones, don't worry because they do get around to that also.
00:10:35.760
The other part of this that is equally disturbing is, um, he, uh, Matt Walsh is getting ready to
00:10:42.660
release, um, I believe, um, a book called what is a woman. And there's also a, uh, documentary
00:10:52.320
that comes with it. Um, Jamie Lee shared some information with me about the movie, um, the
00:11:08.580
documentary that's going along with it, but people are already talking about it. He tricked,
00:11:12.300
it was very much that style, tricking transgender people into participating, not understanding what
00:11:21.580
they were participating in. And it's called, what is a woman? Um, one man's journey to answer the
00:11:27.560
question. I mean, like, does like, like, let's just back up for a second and say, does a man even
00:11:32.300
belong in this conversation? No, he doesn't. But guess what? We're not, it's not even on sale yet.
00:11:38.840
And it's number one in women's studies. And, and number one in the other categories, um, that
00:11:47.340
it's available in as well. Yeah, this is chief mansplaining. Chief mansplainer, another superlative.
00:11:57.240
First of all, how do you know that I'm not a woman? I mean, what is a woman in order to make
00:12:03.620
that kind of criticism against what is a woman? You first need to be able to tell me what is a
00:12:08.060
woman, but you can't. And that's exactly why the film and book exist, which you can find out more
00:12:13.660
about, uh, when you go to what is a woman.com. Second, this is no way to speak to a, or about
00:12:20.220
a bestselling women's studies scholar. Can I just say, finally, we get to the grand finale and we got
00:12:24.920
to play this. This is the emotional crescendo of the story when ultimately breaking under the
00:12:31.940
psychological stress. The guy leading the meeting begins to weep, watch this and don't laugh.
00:12:39.960
Okay. This is serious stuff. So don't laugh. You, you heartless bullies watch exploiting our systems,
00:12:46.860
right? Our systems aren't like, they're not set up to catch, you know, they can, you know,
00:12:52.400
the self-publishing authors, they can categorize their books however they want. Um,
00:13:06.880
I'm sorry. I want to preface this with, I want to preface this with, I also saw someone
00:13:16.380
mentioned that this is really tough content. And if you're transgender, if you're gender non-binary
00:13:24.460
take, you know, and this is super triggering and this is super like, it would like, I would
00:13:30.320
understand if you needed to leave, this is for education, for people who don't get it,
00:13:35.520
who don't understand. And I would understand if, if this was a lot, but equally, I want folks
00:13:43.940
to know, um, that we, that we're doing this because this really matters.
00:13:55.000
Uh, I understand. Um, I, I also understand, you know, I understand if my book written on
00:14:02.680
cardboard for preschoolers about a boy who pretends to be a walrus is too distressing and disturbing
00:14:09.020
for you. You know, I understand, I understand. In other words, if you're mentally ill, um,
00:14:14.900
I understand and I sympathize. Well, actually I don't really sympathize and come to think of it.
00:14:18.220
I don't really understand either, but I acknowledge it anyway. And I hope you get the counseling you
00:14:22.360
need, or I hope you banish yourself to an Island in the Pacific somewhere. I'll take either option
00:14:28.020
really though. I prefer the latter because your cry bully narcissism is a scourge, a plague,
00:14:34.200
a cancer on this country. Now I want to speak now, uh, finally directly to, uh, these employees
00:14:41.600
at Amazon. You're obviously paying close attention to what I say and do. So I know you'll see this
00:14:47.920
and hear it. And I want you to hear me when I, when I say what needs to be said here, this would
00:14:51.760
be perhaps the most important message that you ever hear in your life. It's something you should
00:14:55.880
have been told years ago, but never were. And I'll tell you now, and here it is. It's not my job
00:15:02.440
to cater to your feelings. I, in fact, do not care about your feelings because your feelings are
00:15:16.200
wrong. Did you know that feelings can be wrong? Because they can. Now you might've been told
00:15:22.040
different when you were little, but they lied to you. So feelings can be wrong. And when you feel sad,
00:15:29.140
angry, upset, traumatized, triggered, scandalized, whatever about a children's book that teaches
00:15:35.820
little kids to accept themselves for who they truly are, like who they really are, who they biologically
00:15:42.140
are rather than following a delusion. When that makes you feel bad and icky inside, your feelings are
00:15:48.560
wrong. You should not feel that way. You're, you are wrong for feeling that way. You're the problem,
00:15:57.680
not me. You should apologize to me for being so damned weird and annoying and unreasonable.
00:16:06.700
I mean, you think that women have penises. You think that kids should be chemically castrated
00:16:13.420
and sterilized. You think that the books that we should be selling to kids and that you should
00:16:17.520
be selling to kids on Amazon are the ones that encourage them to sterilize and castrate themselves.
00:16:22.960
That's what you think. That's how you feel. And that's why your feelings are not valid.
00:16:28.180
Your opinions are irrelevant. You should feel ashamed, but you don't. And that's the whole problem.
00:16:41.720
Glad we could have this talk. And thank you for driving my book all the way to the top five overall
00:16:46.120
and Amazon again. You've inspired me to write more children's books. So stay tuned. And we'll get now
00:16:53.240
to our five headlines. You know, the thing about the left is that they hate everything that is good
00:17:03.400
in the world. And that includes, and especially includes, meat. And, you know, but when the supply
00:17:09.540
chain and inflation cause meat prices to soar, their response then isn't to solve the supply chain and
00:17:14.760
inflation. It's to tell you that it's the perfect opportunity to switch from juicy, delicious, and
00:17:19.160
nutritious meat to something called lentils. Or worse, another priority seems to be getting you
00:17:23.920
to stop eating meat and start eating bugs instead. People like Bill Gates and outlets like Time
00:17:28.360
Magazine tell us eating bugs is the solution to all of our problems. I mean, they're not. Bill Gates is
00:17:32.740
not eating bugs. I guarantee you that. But he's saying that you should. And frankly, I find it disgusting.
00:17:37.340
And I've realized something. It's not enough to not eat bugs. You have to be anti-bug eating.
00:17:42.600
And that requires action against the bug eating movement. The best way to do that is to eat more
00:17:47.920
meat. So I've decided to double down on my meat intake, and I'm inviting you to join me. I just
00:17:52.220
subscribed to the Cowboy Box from Good Ranchers, which contains almost 10 pounds of all-American beef.
00:17:57.800
If you're worried about the supply chain or inflation increasing the price of meat over time,
00:18:00.760
the solution is not lentils. The answer is subscribing to Good Ranchers. They lock in your price for life once you
00:18:05.420
subscribe. And they only source from American Farm. So please don't let the vegans and the bug eaters
00:18:10.100
win. We need to double down on eating meat, literally. So go to GoodRanchers.com and enter
00:18:14.580
promo code Walsh at checkout for $30 off your order. That's code Walsh at GoodRanchers.com for $30 off
00:18:20.240
your first order. One other note about this that I think it's important to point out, and we played
00:18:26.700
most of the clips from that Amazon meeting, but there were others, some other pieces that we didn't
00:18:33.300
play. And the one theme that you keep hearing over and over again, and that you hear in those clips
00:18:39.660
and some of the other parts of it, is just how, yeah, they're upset about the book. They're upset
00:18:44.400
about what's in it. They're upset about the message. They're upset about everything. But what really
00:18:50.500
gets them is how, according to them, I gamed the system. I manipulated the system. I abused it.
00:18:58.400
You know, all of these things. They're talking about the system and the algorithm like it's a
00:19:02.900
person. Like I've committed assault against an actual human being. And, but how did I game the
00:19:09.620
system? All I did was write the book on cardboard and then put it on Amazon. That's all that we did.
00:19:18.100
I wish I could say there was something more clever and devious going on, but there isn't.
00:19:22.760
And so when they say, I think this is another mask off moment. It's very revealing because
00:19:28.060
when they say game the system or manipulate the system, what they're admitting is that the system
00:19:34.140
is designed to make sure that people like me don't succeed in it. That's what, that's what they're
00:19:39.880
admitting. And so when they see that, uh, someone like myself has a bestselling book, especially a
00:19:46.940
bestselling children's book and especially a bestselling children's book that's, um, that,
00:19:52.780
that is meant to be an, an, an antidote to the leftist indoctrination that goes on in, in a lot
00:19:59.740
of other kids books. When they see that, it's like, no, this is not, Amazon's not supposed to do that
00:20:04.480
because Amazon isn't for you. That's what they're saying to me and to anyone like me.
00:20:10.240
So quite revealing, in fact, uh, all right, let's go here from the daily wire. It says
00:20:18.640
the same day Elon Musk announced he had reached an agreement with Twitter to purchase a company
00:20:23.440
for $44 billion. Conservative users reported. They began seeing large increases in their follower
00:20:28.240
accounts and engagement. One of the most significant factors motivating Musk's purchase
00:20:32.080
of Twitter was his concern over censorship and speech suppression on platform throughout the last
00:20:36.300
two weeks. As he's pressed his bid to purchase the company has indicated that one of his top
00:20:39.400
priorities will be reversing heavy-handed content moderation policies and lifting algorithms that
00:20:44.020
may be unfairly targeting some tweets and accounts based on their political views. Um,
00:20:48.400
and now there are this, and this is something a lot of conservatives have noticed,
00:20:54.820
not just a few, you know, um, and I've noticed it also. That's quite interesting that literally on
00:21:02.100
the, on the day when they announced that this deal was going to happen and it hasn't been
00:21:08.320
finalized. I think they have until, uh, they have until October, I think, or November to finalize it.
00:21:14.560
But on the day that it was officially announced, conservative accounts, including my own,
00:21:19.840
saw massive spikes in followers. And then, but on the, on the other side of it, a lot of leftist
00:21:27.320
accounts, if you could track that, like MSNBC hosts and CNN hosts, they saw their follower counts
00:21:32.340
dip. And I'm not exactly sure why, you know, it's, it's not clear to me why that's happening.
00:21:38.720
Um, it could be a good thing. I mean, one, one possible reason to explain this is that, um,
00:21:46.160
there were things that they were doing to suppress conservative accounts, talking about systems that
00:21:50.720
are designed to make sure that we don't succeed in them. And so there, there are things that they
00:21:54.440
were doing to suppress that. Um, and to stop people from, you know, if you're a conservative
00:21:58.600
account, to stop people from finding you, from following you there, they had certain systems in
00:22:03.320
place to suppress those accounts. And then as soon as this deal was announced, now they're trying to
00:22:10.220
cover their tracks because that's the thing. It's, it's not as though Elon Musk has taken over Twitter
00:22:14.480
today. That's not going to officially happen for several more months. So you would think you
00:22:21.220
shouldn't start seeing these changes yet. And if we are seeing the changes, then maybe they're,
00:22:25.760
they're trying to, they're, they're getting rid of all these things and trying to cover their tracks.
00:22:30.540
So that's one possibility. Um, it's also possible there's something a little bit more sinister
00:22:36.520
going on here. And I'm not sure what exactly that would be, but it does just, it actually makes me
00:22:42.140
a little bit nervous when I see this, given that Elon Musk has not taken over the company yet. It's
00:22:47.040
still in the hands of the people who were running it two days ago. And yet we're seeing this wild
00:22:54.620
spike in, in, uh, in followers for conservative accounts. I don't know what exactly it is.
00:22:58.760
Is it, is it bots? Are they kind of behind the scenes flooding the place with bots to try to
00:23:05.700
sabotage the platform before Elon Musk takes over? It could be something like that. I don't know what
00:23:09.900
it is, but things are afoot. That's for sure. Um, also from the daily wire says leftist tears were
00:23:18.760
literally flowing at Twitter headquarters on Monday after Elon Musk's offer to buy the social media
00:23:22.560
platform was accepted. Um, as one high ranking employee reportedly broke down and cried during
00:23:28.120
a staff meeting about the purchase. So there is a theme that we're seeing right now in the show
00:23:32.820
of people at big tech companies crying because things aren't going the way that they want.
00:23:38.640
I mean, these are grown adults weeping at their jobs because of this. Um, on Tuesday,
00:23:47.280
Politico reported that Twitter's top lawyer, Vijaya, I think that's how you pronounce her first name,
00:23:53.620
Vijaya, Vijaya, uh, Gad called a virtual meeting among policy and legal teams that she oversees to
00:23:59.680
discuss how Musk would impact the company. Uh, it's Politico reported quote, Gad cried during the
00:24:05.000
meeting as she expressed concerns about how the company could change. According to three people
00:24:08.600
familiar with the meeting, she acknowledged that there are significant uncertainties about what the
00:24:12.620
company will look like under Musk's leadership. Politico also reported that Gad who's worked
00:24:17.320
with Twitter since 2011 is the key executive charge with overseeing Twitter's trust and safety,
00:24:22.400
legal and public policy functions. The attorney is apparently so well respected within the company
00:24:28.000
that she has seen internally as Twitter's moral authority. Uh, she was the one who was primarily
00:24:35.380
behind apparently, you know, reportedly primarily behind, um, suspending the New York post for the
00:24:42.340
Hunter Biden story. And if she's running the trust and safety, whatever council commission over at,
00:24:48.900
uh, at Twitter, then that means that she's ultimately the one behind making these decisions about who gets
00:24:54.520
banned, who gets suspended. You know, Babylon B gets suspended for saying that males are men.
00:25:03.820
That's, that's her. And come to think of it, actually, um, maybe she has reason to cry because
00:25:10.080
the thing ultimately that I'm sure she's crying about is that she's, she thinks she's going to
00:25:14.520
lose her job, which I hope to God she does. I mean, Elon Musk, far be it for me to
00:25:21.040
tell him how to, how to do his job once he's running Twitter. But I think this is the first
00:25:26.440
thing he needs to do is go in there, you find people like this and you get rid of them.
00:25:31.760
Um, because these are, you know, even though there are algorithms and systems and everything
00:25:37.900
that are put in place, there are actual human beings behind all of this. And there are human
00:25:41.880
beings at Twitter who decided to turn it into, you know, a, a left, you know, decided to weaponize
00:25:51.120
it for left-wing ideology and punish people on ideological grounds. And she's one of them.
00:25:58.900
I mean, you just gotta, you gotta get, you gotta get rid of her. Um, and that's probably
00:26:03.760
why she's crying because she knows her days are numbered, numbered at Twitter as well.
00:26:07.020
They should be, uh, the women over at the view are also not quite crying, but, uh, nearly
00:26:13.400
on the verge of tears. And the view chimed in on all this and they have a take, um, on all
00:26:18.040
of this that is about as tedious as you have come to expect from these ladies. Let's listen
00:26:22.380
on Twitter. It is predominantly straight white men. So when Elon Musk says, wow, this is about
00:26:31.920
free speech, it seems to me that it's about free speech of straight white men. And so let
00:26:38.100
them have it, let them just go at it. I enjoy the block button on Twitter. Um, I think it
00:26:45.500
has a real outsized influence in our world because politicians and celebrities are on
00:26:51.200
it. I mean, tedious is really the word that just comes to mind for that. This is, they
00:26:58.960
are themselves. And I think many leftists, especially media have gotten to this point where they are
00:27:03.740
themselves. Basically they are algorithms. They're walking algorithms, barely even humans
00:27:10.000
anymore capable of, of, of critical thought. You know, they're programmed a certain way.
00:27:19.820
And so the minute something happens that they don't like, well, this is all about straight
00:27:23.300
white men and this, there's no, of course it should go without saying there's no evidence
00:27:27.460
of that whatsoever. I mean, Elon Musk has never said anything that would lead you to believe
00:27:34.560
that, um, he wants to favor straight white men and this, that this is what this is really
00:27:40.360
all about. She says that, oh no, he only believes in free speech for straight white men. So what
00:27:46.100
he's going to, he's going to take over Twitter and the new rule at Twitter is going to be, if
00:27:49.900
you're a straight white man, you can say whatever you want, but if you're not, then, um, here,
00:27:56.340
I highly doubt that he's going to put a, uh, a rule like that in place. And he's never said
00:28:04.420
anything that could lead anyone to actually believe that, but this is how she's programmed
00:28:09.820
and she's not capable of actually analyzing events and, um, arriving at, uh, at conclusions
00:28:16.920
that way. All right. I want to move to this. I mentioned this on the show yesterday, but now
00:28:20.480
we have more information courtesy of a daily wire report and I'll just read from it. It says,
00:28:26.100
uh, can girls get erections? A coauthor of the American Academy of Pediatrics newest guide
00:28:31.540
to puberty, not only says, yes, they can, but that such occurrences are completely normal.
00:28:37.040
In response to these claims, some pro-family groups are slamming the quote gender diverse
00:28:41.580
book as insanity. On April 19th, the AAP issued a new guide titled, and we told you about this
00:28:47.220
yesterday, Uology, a puberty guide for everybody targeted towards children ages nine through 13
00:28:54.160
years old. And this is a book, as we mentioned yesterday, um, a supposedly a children's book,
00:29:00.800
nine through 13. And it is one of the top selling children's books on Amazon right now.
00:29:06.480
I mean, mine's above it right now, but as well, it should be, but it's one of the top selling
00:29:11.280
children's books. Um, one pediatrician who helped write the book explained in a radio interview that
00:29:15.880
the group of professional doctors wanted to purposefully include chapters explaining radical
00:29:20.060
gender ideology to children. Dr. Catherine Lowe told NPR with this book, we're trying to change
00:29:25.680
that language to be more inclusive. She claimed with traditional puberty education, whether it's
00:29:30.560
in schools or in books, we talk about how girls get their periods and boys get erections, but some
00:29:35.400
girls, for example, transgender girls might not get their periods. They need to understand about
00:29:39.260
erections and those changes in their bodies. So we wanted to fill this void in puberty education so
00:29:44.060
that kids, regardless of their gender, can see themselves in a book and learn about their bodies.
00:29:49.020
Um, and we, as we discussed yesterday, they not only talk about girls getting erections, but they
00:29:57.320
also, um, in, especially in one of the, one of the chapters, I haven't read the entire book, but all we
00:30:03.780
need to know is about the one chapter, uh, about what happens if puberty doesn't feel right. And in that
00:30:10.520
book, they promote hormones, puberty blockers, chemical castration, sterilization,
00:30:17.440
because that's what those drugs do, by the way, that's what those drugs are.
00:30:21.880
These are chemical castration drugs and they sterilize kids.
00:30:26.560
And this is, we have to keep emphasizing it, the American Academy of Pediatrics
00:30:30.860
putting a book out like that. And of course they say that this is all about, uh, well,
00:30:36.800
this is about representing. We want kids to feel represented. We want them to feel seen.
00:30:41.440
You know, we want a kid who's, who's already transgender. We want them to read this book
00:30:49.680
and, um, and, and feel seen and represented by it. But that's not the point of the book at all,
00:30:55.500
of course. And even if that was the point and the purpose of the book, that would be bad enough
00:31:01.700
because there's actually no such thing as a transgender kid. But, um, no, in fact, it's not
00:31:08.420
about representing or making them feel seen. It's about recruiting more kids into that world.
00:31:18.500
It's about promoting transgenderism. It's not like, let's take the kids who are already
00:31:24.320
transgender, quote unquote, and give them this book they can read. It's let's make a book that
00:31:30.240
creates, this is about creating more transgender kids, which as we have seen over the last several
00:31:36.460
years is very easy to do because kids, and especially if you're targeting them right on
00:31:43.020
the cusp of puberty and hormones are raging and their bodies are changing and their minds going
00:31:48.580
haywire and all these things are happening. We all went through it when we were kids and they're
00:31:53.000
confused and they don't know exactly what's happening and they feel very uncomfortable in
00:31:55.660
their body. They feel very awkward. And then you come in and you say, well, I'll, I'll help you
00:32:00.040
understand what's happening here. And in fact, I'll give you an escape valve. Here's a little,
00:32:04.680
there's, there's, there's, there's no side effects. Nothing bad can happen. Here's a little
00:32:08.120
button you can push that'll put all this on pause so you can escape it and you don't have to deal
00:32:14.180
with it. That's the message to kids now. Just think about that. You're going to kids and you're
00:32:21.040
saying, well, puberty is very difficult and your body, as you know, it is going to change drastically.
00:32:28.500
And, and, and oftentimes in ways that you don't really like at first and, um, but we're going to
00:32:35.540
give you a choice. You can have all that icky stuff happen with your body or you can have it not happen
00:32:40.800
at all. And so many kids, because they don't understand and they don't know what they're
00:32:46.620
doing are going to say, well, I'll, I'll take the option to not have that happen to my body.
00:32:49.620
And then the propaganda silver American Academy pediatrics will say, well, see, there's,
00:32:57.720
there's proof right there that there are so many transgender kids. This is why we need more books
00:33:01.200
like this. It is so insidious what they're doing. This is from sports illustrated. It says NASCAR
00:33:08.220
announced Tuesday that Denny Hamlin will be required to complete a sensitivity training course that must
00:33:13.000
begin by the end of the week. According to a league spokesperson, the cup series driver made a social
00:33:17.300
media post on Monday using an anti-Asian meme from the television show family guy toward Kyle
00:33:22.860
Larson regarding his final lap move in a Sunday's Talladega super speedway. And this is, he's being
00:33:29.640
accused of a racism. It was where we're being told. And this was sports illustrated said in their
00:33:34.660
headlines, a racist joke that, that, um, Hamlin made a racist joke about this other NASCAR driver.
00:33:39.800
Hamlin tweeted, I took down a post I made earlier today after reading some of the comments,
00:33:43.960
it was a poor choice of memes and I saw how it was offensive. It came across totally wrong. I
00:33:49.380
apologize. Larson, who's half Japanese and the reigning cup series champion made a move in his
00:33:55.280
final, final turn that helped him finish fourth overall in the race. However, this move was an
00:33:58.820
aggressive one that caused a crash. And okay. So you have Larson half Japanese does something during
00:34:07.540
the race causes a crash. And then Denny Hamlin, uh, another NASCAR driver tweets out this meme kind of
00:34:13.320
like making a joke about it from family guy. And in fact, we have the meme before it was deleted
00:34:17.420
and, uh, he was sent off to a sensitivity training camp before that. Here's, here's what he posts.
00:34:26.080
How much signal I need to cut across eight lanes? None? I turn now. Good luck, everybody else.
00:34:32.360
I mean, I think it's funny. Um, you know, there, there was a, there was a, a time when you could,
00:34:44.580
I mean, that's family guy. That's not a, that's not a show from, from 70 years ago. So like not all
00:34:49.980
that long ago, you could make jokes like that. So here's a couple of things. We're being, so this is
00:34:55.420
a, this is a racist joke. And of course, Hamlin's apologized for it and he's calling you the sensitivity
00:34:59.740
training and all the rest of it. Um, but maybe we should ask like, is that actually a racist joke?
00:35:07.540
And the answer is no, it in fact is not. Okay. And I know that's maybe very shocking for lots of
00:35:15.140
people to hear, but a joke, a racial joke is not automatically racist. It's not. Okay. Because
00:35:25.300
racism, racist, these are, this, this is a word that means something. And what it means is that if
00:35:30.920
you're a racist person, if you're making a racist statement, then it's a statement that another
00:35:36.380
race, um, or, or ethnicity is inferior to you. Like you, you don't like them. They're inferior
00:35:45.940
and, um, and you're better than them. That's, that's, that's, that's what racism is.
00:35:54.460
There's nothing in that little meme there that even implies anything like that. It doesn't imply
00:36:02.180
that he hates Asian people. It doesn't imply that he thinks Asian people are inferior to him,
00:36:06.660
but yeah, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a stereotype. So you're just having a little
00:36:12.880
bit of fun with the stereotype and it's slightly edgy. And yeah, it might be a little bit of,
00:36:17.900
it could be offensive. That's the other thing that might be shocking for people to hear.
00:36:20.700
A joke can be racial and even offensive. I mean, I don't think it's offensive, but it could be,
00:36:26.780
it could be racial and offensive, but not racist. If you can believe it.
00:36:31.780
So if you want to call that offensive, that's a little bit offensive, maybe it's not racist.
00:36:42.220
And here's the other thing. It is a sign of progress when you can make jokes like that.
00:36:50.580
Okay. When you can make racial jokes and ethnic jokes, that's a sign of progress in society.
00:36:59.580
Right. So kind of like where we were in say the nineties,
00:37:04.560
which I, which, which right now is, is the has to, I guess, be the pinnacle of, uh, of
00:37:12.620
interracial relations in America, because you can make jokes like that and no one really got offended
00:37:21.700
and everyone, you had different people making jokes about other people and, uh, and that's it.
00:37:26.320
It was just a joke. You'd laugh about it. That's a sign of progress. It's just like if someone,
00:37:32.040
if you're, if you're friends with someone, you can make jokes about them that people who are not
00:37:38.360
their friends can't make. So it's actually a sign of affection and familiarity when you can kind of
00:37:44.700
joke around with your friends. It's especially the case with guys, uh, maybe a little bit less so
00:37:49.140
with women, but that's a general principle. When you could joke around with someone, make jokes that,
00:37:53.260
maybe in another context from somebody else will be offensive, but this is a sign of you're familiar,
00:37:58.180
your friends. It's actually a show of affection. And so when you're in a society where people of
00:38:04.100
different ethnicities and races can make jokes about each other and it's all in good fun and
00:38:08.640
you just kind of laugh about it, that's progress. And so the fact that we're, we have now reached a
00:38:15.300
point where we can not make any jokes at all on racial grounds. Um, that means that we've regressed
00:38:23.360
because we used to be able to do that and now we can't, that's regression.
00:38:29.240
But that's not a sign that, uh, that race relations have improved. It's a sign of the opposite happening.
00:38:35.120
All right. Uh, what else do we got here? Okay. I want to show you this because, uh, before we get
00:38:43.140
to the comment section, I think this tweet right here sums up, this sums up the state of journalism
00:38:47.240
in the year 2022. Can we play this, put this up on the screen. This is a BBC, um, journalist
00:38:53.640
who's visiting America, I guess, and, uh, encountered something at Walmart that they found to be
00:39:00.380
just quite, um, scandalous. Here it is. So this is, uh, Padraig Belton. And he tweeted this high from
00:39:09.280
America where Walmart doesn't have a plug adapter for my UK laptop. But on the other hand, I can buy
00:39:15.600
a rifle and ammunition. And then he's got a picture of, uh, what he calls a rifle and ammunition,
00:39:21.980
which is just sitting there behind glass at Walmart. Now, not only can you just,
00:39:30.380
buy the rifle, but, uh, it even, this just makes it all the worse. It's the rifle is,
00:39:35.620
uh, it just like you buy it in a box and you could buy it for 28 bucks. Actually, I had to
00:39:41.360
get over to Walmart. They're selling rifles for $28. And, um, and even if you zoom in,
00:39:46.460
you can even see on the box, it says ages 10 and up. So they're just selling rifles to 10 year old.
00:39:52.180
You're telling me a 10 year old kid can walk into Walmart and buy a rifle for $28.
00:40:00.380
Oh, but then, Oh no. Well, that's actually, that's see, that's a BB gun. That's why it says
00:40:04.660
red rider. So not only can this journalist not identify a BB gun when he sees it,
00:40:11.140
even though it says it on the box. Um, but also somehow he's never seen a Christmas story.
00:40:18.560
I mean, anyone who's seen a Christmas, how have you not, not only should you have seen a Christmas
00:40:22.220
story, but I thought everybody in the English speaking world has seen that movie
00:40:26.640
at least 75 times. So that should have been your first clue. And even if you haven't seen that
00:40:33.020
movie, um, and, and so you didn't know that the red rider BB gun plays very prominently
00:40:38.180
in that story. You should still be able to look at that and tell there are, there are context clues
00:40:43.080
like the fact that it's $28. And then you could just read the box. And this is a journalist.
00:40:48.180
This is how inquisitive this journalist is. This is how good he is at investigating things
00:40:55.140
that he couldn't even read a box. And it shows not only that this is a, you know, journalists who,
00:41:02.300
who, who don't even do five seconds of additional research before posting something and making a claim
00:41:09.240
like this. But this also shows like, why, why did he tweet this in the first place?
00:41:14.620
Why did he see that and actually think that these are real rifles that are being sold to kids
00:41:21.480
for 28 bucks? It's because this is how he sees America. Like for him, he saw that and it confirmed
00:41:30.120
his priors. He saw that and he thought, oh yeah, well, this is, this is exactly what I've heard about
00:41:34.440
America. They just hand out rifles to 10 year olds. You walk into Walmart, they just give you one.
00:41:40.340
Walk into Walmart, they just give a, they're giving machine guns to toddlers. That's exactly
00:41:47.580
what I've heard. So this is the impression that he had. This is the, this is the world that he lives
00:41:54.120
in. And yet he's a journalist and it's his job to tell people about the world, except he's telling
00:41:59.920
them about a fictional world, a world that exists inside his head. My only regret is that this guy had
00:42:06.340
not gone to like a Dollar Tree and gone to the toy section where they sell, if you can believe this,
00:42:13.180
I mean a Dollar Tree, and I've seen this recently, they're selling grenades at Dollar Tree for a
00:42:19.540
dollar. I mean, they're plastic and they're in the kid's toy section, but live grenades.
00:42:26.700
I guess they also, what, they don't, they don't sell toy. I guess they don't. In the UK,
00:42:33.760
they don't sell toy weapons. I guess I'm not surprised by that. But that's journalism for
00:42:38.200
you in the year 2022. Well, you've probably seen some of what your kids are watching on TV and
00:42:43.660
learning in school. Hopefully you've seen it. Marxism, socialism, critical race theory in
00:42:47.380
kindergarten through 12th grade. Disney's recent directives to de-gender children. Executives,
00:42:52.500
not-so-secret push to agenda to push non-binary slash pansexual onto kids. Scholastic Kids magazine
00:42:59.960
in schools constantly rips on America. You've probably seen the viral videos of parents begging
00:43:04.380
school boards to stop brainwashing our kids. Many of you are as frustrated as I am. Parents and
00:43:10.040
upstanding educators are realizing that most of America's school system has been hijacked by the
00:43:14.660
left and are now committed to stopping radical agendas from ruining our country. That's what PragerU

00:44:23.800
Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
00:44:35.240
Jim says, I laughed out loud in my office when his daughter addressed him as Matt. Referring
00:44:45.400
to the story that I told about my pangender child who was very upset to find out that Elon
00:44:52.940
Musk was taking over Twitter. But I did say they're pangender, you bigot. I didn't say anything
00:44:59.400
about daughter. Evan says, nothing screams stuck in the 90s quite like talking about ending hunger
00:45:07.060
when the big problem is obesity. Yeah, I mean, that's the big problem in, you know, so to speak,
00:45:13.940
the big problem in the United States and much of the Western world. It's quite the opposite problem
00:45:18.500
from hunger, as you point out. There still is plenty of actual hunger and starvation across the
00:45:25.740
world and third world countries and so on. That's still a very real problem. There are people who
00:45:31.080
are starving or famished. The issue, though, is that as we discussed yesterday, Elon Musk,
00:45:39.200
even if he said, I'm going to take all of my money and I'm worth $200 billion, I'm going to put it all
00:45:45.660
towards ending world hunger, he wouldn't even make a dent in world hunger. Because so much of that,
00:45:54.700
in so many cases, when you have hunger, it's not a simple lack of resources. It's not just like,
00:46:02.220
let's go buy a bunch of food and give it to these people. It's that in many cases, these are people
00:46:08.560
who are living under corrupt, incompetent regimes, governments that are causing this problem. I mean,
00:46:15.980
let's just take North Korea, for example. There are lots of starving people in North Korea.
00:46:20.480
How's Elon Musk going to solve that problem with money?
00:46:28.280
They're starving because the North Korean government is choosing to starve them.
00:46:32.700
It's not that they don't have the resources. They're just making sure that their people don't get
00:46:38.820
And so at the UN, and this is what happens when the UN starts handing out relief and money and
00:46:46.820
everything. Oftentimes it goes right into the hands of corrupt regimes and government officials who are
00:46:55.100
causing the problem to begin with. Leroy says, puberty makes everyone feel weird. LOL. I remember my best
00:47:04.820
friend felt weird because he grew like a foot in a year. Yeah, that feels weird. He was gawky for
00:47:10.040
years. His bones hurt as well. And Crystal agrees, says, I can almost say with 100% certainty that every
00:47:17.160
12-year-old girl that started her period doesn't feel right. It's effing normal. Yeah. And that's
00:47:22.960
exactly the point. I mean, for boys, I could say from experience, you know, for boys, puberty,
00:47:29.700
it's difficult for any kid because your body's changing so much. And for boys, that's one thing
00:47:35.580
where you just, you grow, you know, you have to buy new shoes every two weeks and you're growing
00:47:40.280
really fast. For girls, it's even more difficult, which is why you could talk to almost any grown
00:47:49.700
woman and they will tell you that they went through something like this, you know, when they were kids
00:47:53.720
going through puberty where they felt very alien in their own body. And it's just very fortunate for
00:48:03.600
women who are grown women today that none of this stuff existed back then. So they didn't have anyone
00:48:08.100
coming around and saying, oh, I'll explain your feelings to you. It means you're in the wrong body.
00:48:13.260
And here's the good news. You can have the right body, the quote unquote right body. Here are some
00:48:17.440
pills. It's as simple as that. Maximilian says, Matt, the most heavily discriminated against
00:48:23.580
demographic in public schools are by far left-handed people. Think about scissors, discs, and handshakes.
00:48:32.600
Yeah, but you deserve it. Left-handed people, I will say that's one group of people who are inferior.
00:48:39.520
You freaks. You deserve everything that's coming to you.
00:48:42.940

straight to your inbox for the once and future King by T.H. White. Now let's get to our daily
00:50:08.180
cancellation. As you know, I am but a shy and unassuming podcaster and I don't like to be the
00:50:16.960
center of attention. That's why it was so difficult for me yesterday when I was the subject of a second
00:50:21.220
round of leaked videos. This time it was a meeting between administrators and students at the
00:50:26.140
University of Wisconsin-Superior about my event on campus, which will be held there tonight. In fact,
00:50:31.340
leftist students met with school administrators to try to get the speech canceled.
00:50:34.360
They were unable to get the speech canceled so far. So they then start to strategize their
00:50:39.380
protest against my speech. School administrators are more than happy to help facilitate and plan
00:50:44.680
these demonstrations against me. But there's no systemic discrimination against conservatives
00:50:49.920
on campus, remember. That doesn't exist. Administrators are just conspiring with leftist activists
00:50:54.540
to protest conservative speakers. But that doesn't prove anything, of course.
00:50:59.080
So we'll watch some of these clips. The audio quality isn't great, but it's clear enough to get the gist.
00:51:03.280
You don't need to hear it clearly, given that leftist activists only know about five words in the
00:51:08.240
first place. So it's not very hard to fill in the blanks, but let's listen.
00:51:13.780
And to come back to this, but getting towards the actual protesting of the national folks choose to do
00:51:20.200
that, what questions are we actually protesting?
00:51:25.200
How would you approach, or how would the protesters, hypothetically, address counter-protesters? Like, if we're sitting there peacefully or whatever, but there are other people who want to engage
00:51:44.200
rapists? How should we, as the civil protesters, interact with them?
00:51:49.160
Yeah, I think the best in action you can have is not to interact with them, right?
00:51:53.540
I think the other piece of it is important, campus police, and what's happening obviously would be monitoring that situation. But another group of individuals, to your point, has the ability to do that as well.
00:52:05.200
So, I think keeping to the root cause of why you're protesting, and what you're doing, and the purpose behind it, sticking with the core values that you can establish, is going to repeat it.
00:52:16.200
So, the activist here is worried that conservative counter-protesters might get violent.
00:52:21.760
I mean, never mind that all of the political violence on college campuses, and I mean literally all of it, is committed by leftists.
00:52:30.540
The administrators, of course, don't point that out. They don't say, oh, well, as long as you aren't violent, then there won't be any violence, because you people are the only ones who ever commit violence.
00:52:39.820
Instead, they cater to the absurdity. They tacitly affirm these totally baseless concerns.
00:52:44.040
Later in the discussion, another university official has an inspiring message to share with the protesters.
00:52:50.880
I think the power that you have is in yourselves.
00:52:56.600
You know, one of the people that I respect a lot said, the only power that people have who don't have power is power in the numbers.
00:53:03.340
So, as a protesting group, if there begins to be any threats towards you, I would suggest all of you sit down.
00:53:10.820
That will cause the scene. That will help Joe and his officers know something is happening.
00:53:22.240
So, if somebody is getting threatened, sit down and call them out.
00:53:25.940
Power is within, she says, as university administrators continue their pep talk to leftist activists.
00:53:35.540
I mean, these people have no power, no strength within.
00:53:38.580
As evidenced by the next and final clip, listen to this.
00:53:42.620
It's like the only most exhausting experiences of my entire life.
00:53:47.340
To the point where I have decided that I would grab a place, thousands of dollars to go to school with girls.
00:53:56.640
It is exhausting with racism, homophobia, transphobia.
00:54:03.760
This is one of the most exhausting experiences of his life, he says.
00:54:24.920
My speech is one of the most exhausting experiences of his life.
00:54:29.680
I'm the one who actually has to give the speech.
00:54:32.480
And I certainly wouldn't call it one of my most exhausting experiences.
00:54:36.480
I have like 50 experiences every day that are more exhausting.
00:54:40.060
But for him, simply being in the vicinity of my speech is exhausting.
00:54:44.900
The most exhausting thing he's ever been through.
00:54:47.200
Which only goes to show just how coddled and comfortable and spoiled his life has been.
00:54:51.980
And that's why, just as I spoke directly to the traumatized Amazon employees earlier in the show,
00:54:57.740
now I'm going to speak directly to the leftist activists who will be protesting my speech tonight.
00:55:06.020
That you rail against privilege, but you are the epitome of privilege.
00:55:11.820
Truly, you are the most privileged generation to ever live on planet Earth.
00:55:15.600
You've been shielded from discomfort such that now you feel personally attacked
00:55:20.220
if somebody expresses a contrary opinion anywhere within a 50-mile radius of yourself.
00:55:25.660
You've existed within a protective bubble that's only grown over time,
00:55:29.140
and you wish that it will continue expanding forever.
00:55:32.120
You have, to this point, lived lives of such extraordinary luxury
00:55:36.260
that now you feel entitled to remain ensconced in this intellectual cocoon,
00:55:41.260
insulated from viewpoints contrary to your own.
00:55:48.440
At least it doesn't exist as a principle of nature.
00:55:53.980
Your entitlement to psychological comfort is a human construction, a harmful one.
00:56:00.160
Harmful to the world, but harmful to yourselves most of all.
00:56:03.220
You know, when you work with your hands or you lift heavy objects,
00:56:09.660
something that I'm sure you've probably not experienced,
00:56:15.560
And the same thing happens with your feet if you spend a lot of time walking or running,
00:56:18.720
something that, again, I'm sure is foreign to you.
00:56:20.820
But the calluses are good because they help you grip the heavy objects
00:56:26.700
Your hands and feet are battle-tested, hardened, literally.
00:56:30.140
Calluses are also good because it's shameful and embarrassing
00:56:34.160
for a man to have soft, uncalloused baby hands.
00:56:37.780
Well, a similar thing happens intellectually if you allow yourselves to be challenged,
00:56:42.820
if you embrace and welcome encounters with differing viewpoints.
00:56:47.840
Then your ideas, your worldview becomes battle-tested, calloused, firmer, tougher.
00:56:56.040
The more it's challenged, the more it's able to withstand challenges.
00:57:00.140
But your worldview crumbles into a million pieces if it even smells a whiff of a challenge.
00:57:07.160
A slight breeze can blow it over and smash it into bits.
00:57:12.080
That's why you're so afraid of me and of anybody else who threatens to do anything but
00:57:16.740
coddle you and whisper sweet nothings in your ear.
00:57:19.680
So, if my presence, if my viewpoints cause you discomfort, exhaustion, pain, I'm glad.
00:57:35.980
And if you discover ultimately that allowing your viewpoints to be challenged will destroy them,
00:57:44.820
blow them to smithereens, and leave you just kind of standing there, exposed,
00:57:52.300
with your entire intellectual framework having been torn down around you,
00:57:57.300
well, then that tells you something about that intellectual framework.
00:58:05.620
If it cannot withstand the challenge, then it needs to be abandoned.
00:58:10.780
And you have to rethink everything that you believe.
00:58:19.100
Otherwise, I'm afraid to say that you are canceled.
00:58:44.980
