The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 939 - Amazon Employees Are Traumatized By My Children’s Book

00:00:00.000 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? 0.94

00:00:44.400 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:58.060 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.

00:03:03.040 Let's listen.

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 1.00

00:03:43.280 that only an authentic leftist in his natural environment could come up with. Transgender 1.00

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

00:04:34.100 listening to this clip.

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

00:04:52.780 we're going to listen to does a great job.

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 0.93

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, 1.00

00:06:10.220 especially transgenders. The story is about a kid who likes to pretend he's different things. And one 1.00

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 0.95

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. 0.98

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 1.00

00:07:29.860 calling her a shrill, hectoring wench. Maybe The View should give her a call. She'd be perfect, 0.99

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 0.56

00:07:39.800 book claiming that I instruct kids to kill or at least bully transgenders. In this rather dark and 1.00

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 0.99

00:08:09.160 transgenders or the community telling Johnny that stop pretending to be a walrus or we'll kill you. 1.00

00:08:15.300 That's not in there. In fact, nothing like that happens. And it makes me concerned for the woman's 0.99

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, 1.00

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 0.58

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 0.99

00:11:21.580 they were participating in. And it's called, what is a woman? Um, one man's journey to answer the 0.56

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 0.94

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 1.00

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 1.00

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, 0.95

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,

00:12:58.260 um, and so, um, yeah, I want to, I just,

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. 0.98

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, 0.99

00:14:34.200 a cancer on this country. Now I want to speak now, uh, finally directly to, uh, these employees 0.97

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. 0.99

00:16:06.700 I mean, you think that women have penises. You think that kids should be chemically castrated 1.00

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. 0.63

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.

00:16:35.080 I'm not the problem. You are. You freaks.

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 0.99

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 0.92

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 0.98

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,

00:27:54.340 here are the moderation policies.

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 0.94

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.78

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 0.99

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.

00:34:22.520 Let's watch it here.

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 0.99

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. 0.99

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, 1.00

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 0.96

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

00:44:23.800 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?

00:44:29.940 Who's to blame?

00:44:32.920 It's a sweet baby gang.

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 0.97

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 0.99

00:46:37.840 those resources.

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 0.56

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 0.99

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 0.69

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 0.87

00:48:08.100 coming around and saying, oh, I'll explain your feelings to you. It means you're in the wrong body. 0.99

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. 0.98

00:50:04.680 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.

00:53:18.420 And you will be in unity together.

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.

00:53:34.140 But unfortunately, she's wrong.

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. 0.89

00:53:54.340 It is exhausting being here now.

00:53:56.640 It is exhausting with racism, homophobia, transphobia.

00:54:01.200 And nobody cares.

00:54:02.660 And you guys can say that to me.

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.

00:54:35.420 I have four kids.

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.

00:55:02.360 And here's what I want you guys to understand.

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.

00:55:44.600 But no such entitlement actually exists.

00:55:48.440 At least it doesn't exist as a principle of nature.

00:55:51.400 It's not a natural right.

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,

00:56:13.580 your hands become calloused.

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

00:56:24.380 and they protect your feet as you move around.

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.

00:57:29.440 That's a good thing.

00:57:31.200 It will do you some good also.

00:57:34.300 It will help you if you let it.

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.

00:58:02.520 It tells you something about that worldview.

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.

00:58:13.660 And you could start doing that right now.

00:58:19.100 Otherwise, I'm afraid to say that you are canceled.

00:58:23.540 And we'll leave it there for today.

00:58:24.920 Thanks for watching.
