The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 941 - The Biden Administration Uses ‘1984’ As An Instruction Manual

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Biden administration takes its cue from Orwell,

00:00:03.420 setting up its very own ministry of truth, we'll discuss, and a judicial nominee admits

00:00:07.300 during a confirmation hearing that her previous claims about police violence were untrue,

00:00:11.340 but made anyway for rhetorical purposes, she says. Plus, Joe Biden continues to mentally

00:00:15.940 decay on camera. Ilhan Omar speaks out for student loan forgiveness. And in our daily

00:00:19.980 cancellation, we'll examine a video which purports to scientifically prove the validity of

00:00:25.040 transgenderism. I'm skeptical, but I'll hear him out. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall 0.99

00:00:29.340 Show. Did you know that if you're currently on a phone plan with one of the major carriers,

00:00:43.160 you are helping these left-leaning companies donate to pro-choice causes and candidates?

00:00:47.800 A common question I get from my listeners is, what can I do to help turn the tides in the

00:00:51.620 culture war? Well, here's a great first step. Defund the abortionists. Don't let them take 0.99

00:00:55.480 your money and use it to further policies you don't believe in. Switch to Charity Mobile today,

00:01:47.340 charitymobile today. You know, Orwell analogies are terribly overused these days, but there's a

00:01:52.720 reason for that. Well, there's two reasons. One is that 1984 is one of about three books that the

00:01:57.200 average American has actually read all the way through. The other two are Harry Potter books.

00:02:01.080 But the second reason is that so much of what we're experiencing today really was prophesied by

00:02:06.020 Orwell in 1984, and even more so, in my opinion, in his allegory, Animal Farm. Things tend to happen

00:02:12.440 that even a more widely read person cannot help but compare to one of those two works.

00:02:18.500 And what else are we supposed to do when the Biden administration, as they did this week,

00:02:22.940 literally creates a ministry of truth? Sure, I mean, they aren't calling it that, of course. Instead,

00:02:27.480 they've come up with an even more Orwellian name than what Orwell chose. Their name is the

00:02:32.640 Disinformation Governance Board. Now, this new board will exist within the Department of Homeland

00:02:38.840 Security, a department that shouldn't exist and which has, since its conception, been responsible

00:02:45.060 for many of the federal government's most insidious civil rights abuses. Yet another reason to thank

00:02:49.820 George W. Bush for his contributions to massively expanding the federal government. The head of

00:02:54.900 this new board is a leftist ideologue and activist named Nina Jankiewicz, who proudly announced her new

00:03:01.060 position in a tweet yesterday, which you can see here. She posted,

00:03:04.100 Here's my official portrait to grab your attention. Now that I've got it, a huge focus of our work,

00:03:10.280 and indeed one of the key reasons the board was established, is to maintain the department's

00:03:14.360 commitment to protecting free speech, privacy, civil rights, and civil liberties. And then for whatever

00:03:20.200 reason, she includes a photo of Quentin Tarantino. The interesting thing to note about this Nina

00:03:26.240 character is that she's not only a leftist, but also, and these two things often come together as a

00:03:32.600 package deal. Of course, completely insane. As evidenced by this video, which has been making 0.83

00:03:37.740 the rounds since Tucker Carlson played it on his show last night, but if you didn't see it,

00:03:41.420 I think it's worth watching because this, again, this is a woman who's going to be at the Department

00:03:45.100 of Homeland Security in charge of disinformation. And here's what she's all about.

00:03:51.400 Information laundering is really quite ferocious. It's when a huckster takes some lies and makes

00:03:57.920 them sound precocious by saying them in Congress or a mainstream outlet. So disinformation's origins

00:04:03.720 are slightly less atrocious. It's how you hide a little lie. It's how you hide a little lie. It's

00:04:10.580 how you hide a little lie. It's how you hide a little lie. When Rudy Giuliani shared that in town

00:04:13.860 from Ukraine, or when TikTok influencers say COVID can cause pain, they're laundering disinfo and we

00:04:19.760 really should take note and not support their lies with our wallet, voice or vote. Oh!

00:04:28.500 This is perhaps not quite as embarrassing as the BDSM dog fetishist that Biden tapped for a federal

00:04:34.760 post a few months ago, but it's pretty close. Not surprisingly, Nina is also a proponent of the

00:04:40.220 words are violent school of thought. She has a book coming out apparently called How to Be a Woman

00:04:44.720 Online. Don't ask her to define what a woman is though. I mean, she's just the information's are. 1.00

00:04:49.680 She's not a biologist. And she tweeted this excerpt from the book, quote, men burst violently into your

00:04:56.820 mentions and your life like the Kool-Aid man demanding your attention, hawking opinions that they

00:05:01.960 believe are unarguably manifestly correct and indispensable. Violently. Yes, men are committing

00:05:09.160 violence by responding to your tweets. Sounds a bit like Taylor Lorenz. This is a common theme.

00:05:15.660 And this is men, of course. Just men. Men, men, women never do this. But men also commit the sin of

00:05:22.120 thinking their opinions are correct. Now, never mind that literally every human on earth thinks

00:05:27.860 their opinions are correct. This is an accusation made against me all the time. Oh, Matt, you always

00:05:33.760 act like you think your opinions are correct. Well, of course, if I didn't think they were correct,

00:05:38.080 they wouldn't be my opinion. By definition, it's something that I think is correct.

00:05:43.060 Perhaps most importantly of all, though, Nina, who will be in charge of identifying and censoring

00:05:47.500 disinformation, has already made clear what the term disinformation means to her. It means any

00:05:52.820 information that is politically inconvenient to Democrats, which is why she labeled the Hunter

00:05:57.080 laptop story disinformation back in 2020. She was one of like every other Democrat saying that that

00:06:02.620 was disinformation. Turns out it was 100% true. That point about the Hunter Biden laptop story was

00:06:08.800 made to Jen Psaki during the White House press briefing yesterday. And here's how she responded

00:06:13.440 to that. Listen. She had previously called the Hunter Biden laptop a Trump campaign product,

00:06:19.920 seeming to discredit its validity or validity of reporting surrounding that.

00:06:25.500 How can you assuage concerns of people who are looking at this person who's been appointed to

00:06:32.100 this position and wondering if she's going to be able to accurately judge misinformation now that

00:06:37.240 a lot of that reporting has been proven to be factual in some ways?

00:06:43.440 Well, I don't have any comments on the laptop. But what I can tell you is that it sounds like the

00:06:47.840 objective of the board is to prevent disinformation and misinformation from traveling around the country in

00:06:53.680 a range of communities. I'm not sure who opposes that effort.

00:06:59.240 She doesn't have any comments about the laptop angle, which is that's the question, right? So I

00:07:04.140 love that from Jen Psaki when someone asks a question and her response is, well, I don't have

00:07:08.860 any comments about the question you just asked. So instead, I'll make a point that's irrelevant.

00:07:13.840 She says the board will prevent disinformation and misinformation from traveling around the country

00:07:18.500 in a range of communities. And she's not sure who opposes that effort. Well, many of us do.

00:07:23.680 And let me explain why. First of all, note how they are calling it. I think this is important.

00:07:29.060 OK, they are calling it the disinformation board and not the misinformation board.

00:07:34.980 Now, even that small nuance is significant because it adds an extra layer of editorializing.

00:07:40.780 Misinformation is simply information that's wrong. Disinformation is wrong is information that's

00:07:46.720 wrong intentionally. So all disinformation is misinformation, but not all misinformation is

00:07:52.580 disinformation. Disinformation is when there's an intentional there's a there's an intent to deceive.

00:07:58.960 The government now has claimed the authority not only to be the arbiter of which information is

00:08:03.460 correct and incorrect, but also of the motivations behind the people spreading the alleged incorrect

00:08:09.720 information. When you call something disinformation, you are claiming to know both that the information

00:08:15.960 is wrong and also why it's wrong. This is the power the Biden administration is claiming for itself,

00:08:21.700 and it can't end well. I mean, it's designed to not end well. It never does end well when a government

00:08:26.640 declares itself the final judge of truth, which is not the government's job. It's also not the

00:08:32.460 government's job to control the spread of information. It's supposed to control other things and the 0.73

00:08:37.520 spread of other things like immigration, crime. Those are the two big ones that it should be trying to 0.99

00:08:43.760 control. But this regime has little interest in that. To this regime, the greatest enemy is not crime,

00:08:50.820 not anything like that. It's information. And because we live in the information age, when the

00:08:57.380 average person processes more information in a day than previous generations may have encountered in

00:09:02.980 a year or a decade, that means that the efforts to control and stifle information will have to be

00:09:08.400 far-reaching and severe and oppressive. Just think about what tyrannical regimes in the past have done

00:09:14.140 to control the flow of information before the internet, before modern media.

00:09:19.820 Now think about what this one will have to do, given how ubiquitous information is.

00:09:26.880 Now, the truth is that they will not be able to staunch the flow completely or monitor all of it,

00:09:31.700 though they will no doubt try. They're not going to be able to do it. Ultimately,

00:09:35.100 the most effective tactic they can take and have already taken against inconvenient information,

00:09:40.160 which, again, is what they mean by disinformation. There's the actual definition of disinformation,

00:09:45.320 which is incorrect information meant to deceive. But that's the actual definition. But for them,

00:09:49.680 that's not what it really is. This is inconvenient information.

00:09:55.000 But the main tactic here is to convince people not to trust their own powers of perception,

00:10:01.480 their own common sense. We saw this, we see this all the time with the left. We saw it all

00:10:06.700 throughout COVID. Trust the experts, they said, even if the experts contradict themselves 10 times

00:10:11.780 in the same sentence. Still, just accept whatever is the most recent thing the experts have said.

00:10:18.300 Lots of people, sadly, are not only willing to do this, but they find, I think, some comfort in it.

00:10:24.460 The fire hydrant of information gushing directly into your brain can get exhausting and overwhelming at

00:10:30.020 times. And after a while, people look to outsource the task of processing and forming conclusions

00:10:34.720 to some sort of outside authority. Government's more than happy to provide that service.

00:10:40.280 Now it's created a whole department for that express purpose.

00:10:44.140 Don't bother thinking, they say. We'll take care of that. We'll tell you what to think.

00:10:48.760 And then they'll pat you on the head and give you a lollipop, send you on your way.

00:10:53.240 The government has already infiltrated nearly every aspect of your life.

00:10:57.040 The last thing it can take a hold of is your mind,

00:10:59.520 if you let it, which you shouldn't.

00:11:03.940 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:11.680 You know, with Mother's Day coming just around the corner, it's time to start thinking about

00:11:14.700 what you want to do to make your mom feel special. I've been trying to think about what

00:11:18.440 I want to give my mom this Mother's Day season. And all I can think about is the time where I

00:11:22.400 refuse to fix her VHS player over this past holiday season. And now I'm not going to apologize

00:11:28.620 for that because I refuse to apologize for anything. Never apologize to the pitchfork

00:11:32.600 mob, even when your own mother is in that mob. But instead, I'm going to give my mom something

00:11:38.380 that she'll be thanking me for. I'm going to give her a reason to throw away that VHS player once

00:11:42.360 and for all with Legacy Box. Legacy Box is the best company out there when it comes to digitally

00:11:46.080 preserving all of your sentimental but outdated belongings. That's why they've helped millions

00:11:50.200 of people digitize their belongings over the past decade. Just send Legacy Box all your videotapes,

00:11:54.740 film reels, and photos. And their team of over 200 trained technicians will hand digitize everything.

00:12:00.280 You can track their progress along the way with their online tracking system. And once

00:12:03.880 they're done, they'll send you all of your original copies along with a digital copy stored

00:12:08.360 on a thumb drive to cloud or DVD. Now, my mom's not going to have to worry about having a working

00:12:12.680 VHS player anymore. And she can show all my embarrassing photos and videos to my wife easily

00:12:17.580 over the holidays, which she's already done many times. You can do the same for your mom this

00:12:20.740 Mother's Day by visiting LegacyBox.com slash Walsh right now to get 60% off your order. That's

00:12:25.060 LegacyBox.com slash Walsh. All right, you probably already have noticed. I'm sure there's

00:12:30.300 comments, many comments, because people in the comments I've discovered love nothing more than

00:12:36.080 to comment on my wardrobe and shame me for it. Well, I've dressed up a little bit. I got the jacket

00:12:40.180 on. Decided to class things up because I'm a number one best-selling Amazon author now,

00:12:45.840 and this is how you have to dress. No, actually, the truth is that my shirt was wrinkled,

00:12:49.020 and I didn't feel like ironing it, so I just put the jacket on. Like, that's the only time you'll

00:12:53.220 catch me dressing well, is if it's just out of pure laziness. Okay, I want to start with this,

00:12:59.680 because we were just talking about disinformation, and here's a great example of it. And this is

00:13:04.760 disinformation, right? So that is incorrect information that's intentional. A judicial nominee

00:13:10.780 named Nusrat Chowdhury was in front of the Senate committee yesterday, and I want you to listen to

00:13:17.140 this exchange about one piece of alleged information that turned out not to be correct.

00:13:24.520 But listen to this. This is a really simple question, Counselor. Do you believe that cops

00:13:31.260 kill unarmed black men in America every single day? You said it at Princeton. 0.93

00:13:36.700 Senator, I said it in my role as an advocate.

00:13:39.300 Oh, okay. You didn't mean it.

00:13:40.780 Senator, I said it in my role as an advocate to make a rhetorical point.

00:13:45.660 So when you say something that's incorrect, it's okay to excuse it by saying, oh, I was being an

00:13:51.280 advocate? What do you believe? Do you personally believe that cops kill unarmed black men every

00:13:57.340 single day in America? Senator, I believe law enforcement have an important and challenging

00:14:02.060 job in this country. That's not what you said, though, Counselor.

00:14:04.980 Senator, I say before you here today that I do believe law enforcement have a difficult

00:14:09.120 and challenging job, and I also understand the difference between...

00:14:12.080 I just think that's an extraordinary statement to make with no data to back up.

00:14:17.920 None whatsoever. There's no basis for you saying that. And you knew it then and you know it now.

00:14:25.300 How can one possibly believe that you're going to be unbiased on the federal bench?

00:14:29.580 Senator, I believe my record shows that I have worked collaboratively with law enforcement in

00:14:35.480 Boston, Chicago, Mississippi, and Milwaukee to solve complex problems to promote constitutional,

00:14:41.460 effective, and safe policing.

00:14:42.500 Your record shows that you believe cops are guilty until proven innocent. Your record shows that if a cop,

00:14:51.720 if a cop shoots a criminal, it's the cop's fault. And if a criminal shoots a cop,

00:14:59.140 it's the gun's fault. I've read your record. I've read your record, Ms. Murrow. And I don't

00:15:05.620 appreciate you not answering the question straight up. I would respect you a lot more if you'd just

00:15:10.440 tell us what you believe and not try to hide it.

00:15:16.140 Yeah, this is really perfect because it shows, again, that's disinformation. She claimed

00:15:21.180 in the past that cops are shooting unarmed black men every single day in this country, which is not

00:15:28.280 even within the ballpark of anything that resembles the truth. As we've gone over before, you look at the

00:15:36.260 actual numbers of unarmed shootings of both black and white suspects. It very rarely happens. I think

00:15:43.680 you could say that it almost never happens when compared to the number of interactions that law

00:15:48.560 enforcement have and the number of arrests that they make. And then you take a percentage, how many

00:15:54.280 result in the shooting of an unarmed person? It's like 0.00, a bunch of zeros, 1%.

00:16:00.360 Extremely rare. And certainly not every day. And then even when you, if you were to just bear down

00:16:09.520 and look at the unarmed shootings, you find that even a good portion of those are not actually unarmed

00:16:15.420 because maybe somebody's in a car trying to run cops over. I think in no sense can we, if you've

00:16:22.420 got a, you know, a, a, if you're driving your weapon, this big metal contraption, you're trying

00:16:28.720 to like a battering ram drive right into someone. It's, it's hard to see how that would count as

00:16:32.980 unarmed. So unarmed shootings are very, very rare. And then, um, a good portion of the actual unarmed

00:16:40.280 shootings aren't actually unarmed as it turns out. And then even the ones where they're, where the,

00:16:44.460 where the suspect actually has no weapon at all, even most of those shootings end up being justified

00:16:48.520 because you'll find out that a lot of those cases, there's a, there's, you know, the suspects trying

00:16:53.180 to take the weapon from the cop, that sort of thing, Michael Brown, that's what that was.

00:16:56.980 And yet this judge said that this happens every single day. That's disinformation. And she admits

00:17:01.040 that she admitted right there in that exchange that it was disinformation, though she didn't say the

00:17:04.980 word, but she admitted it was disinformation because she admitted that she knew that was wrong.

00:17:08.200 She didn't say, Oh, you know, I thought that, um, but I didn't look into it and I was just

00:17:13.720 mistaken. That would be bad enough. But instead she says, I was just trying to make a rhetorical

00:17:17.980 point. Um, translation. I knew it was wrong, but it was, it's a, it's a helpful talking point.

00:17:23.960 And so I said it anyway, otherwise known as lying. Now the disinformation board for the department

00:17:30.000 of Homeland security, is that the kind of disinformation that they're going to address?

00:17:34.820 I mean, you would think if they were actually concerned about disinformation, especially

00:17:39.540 harmful disinformation, it's hard for me to think of a type of disinformation that has done

00:17:47.880 more harm to this country over the last five years than exactly that, that cops are out prowling

00:17:53.680 about hunting down, um, unarmed black men and murdering them in cold blood. Like of all the, 0.57

00:17:59.260 the, the disinformation that we encounter, it's hard for me to think of something that's been

00:18:03.620 more harmful than that as it has led to countless riots, billions of dollars in damages, dozens

00:18:09.360 of people dead, entire police stations burned to the ground, all on the strength of this

00:18:15.740 disinformation, all fueled by this disinformation. But something tells me the disinformation board,

00:18:21.920 they're not going to be concerned about that. Even though this is law enforcement,

00:18:26.900 department of Homeland security, you'd think that they'd be concerned about disinformation

00:18:31.860 against law enforcement, but no, they're not, they're not. Um, staying in the Biden administration,

00:18:38.720 let's go all the way to the top, supposedly the top Biden himself. So we see these, you know,

00:18:43.260 you see these every single day clips like this of Biden losing his mind. And it, it does, it just,

00:18:47.860 it gets worse every time. And this is as bad as we've seen. Uh, but here it is. Listen.

00:18:54.820 Of, uh, that will enhance our underlying effort to accommodate the Russian oligarchs, uh, and make 0.52

00:19:07.720 sure we take their, take their, their ill-begotten gains. We're going to accommodate them. We're going

00:19:14.420 to seize their yachts, their luxury homes and other ill-begotten gains of Putin's kleptocracy.

00:19:21.840 Yeah.

00:19:24.520 Kleptocracy and the guys who are the kleptocracies,

00:19:27.800 but these are bad guys.

00:19:30.960 Oh my gosh. The guys who are the kleptocracies, kleptomaniacs, I think is the word he's going

00:19:39.380 for. And, um, most people are focusing on that part of it, but also what is he talking

00:19:44.380 about? We're going to accommodate them. That's not, that's not the words you're looking for.

00:19:48.260 You're looking for the opposite of that. We're, we're going to accommodate the Russian oligarchs. 0.99

00:19:53.240 I think you mean you're not going to accommodate them. I think that's what you're trying to say.

00:19:57.600 Okay. He's, uh, the press, it's not just the president is losing his mind or his mind is

00:20:04.680 deteriorating or anything like it's like he has lost his mind. He does not have one right now.

00:20:08.760 He's fully senile and everyone in the whole world knows it, including our enemies. And this is what

00:20:13.740 we're supposed to just live with for the next two years. Um, I also want to play this where you're

00:20:18.440 kind of moving on, um, staying within democratic politics though. Ilhan Omar, and we've heard about

00:20:23.860 Biden's plan, his Hail Mary pass, the Biden administration's, well, we can't talk about,

00:20:28.540 first of all, we can't talk about Biden doing anything anymore. His plans, anything. I mean,

00:20:31.900 he's got no, he's an empty vessel completely. Um, but the Biden administration anyway, is planning

00:20:37.020 this Hail Mary pass right before the midterms to try to buy some votes because they're drowning in the

00:20:42.420 polls. And so they're talking about, uh, student loan forgiveness. Here's Ilhan Omar outside the

00:20:48.440 Capitol with some activists calling for that kind of forgiveness. We are here to tell the president

00:20:57.620 that with the stroke of a pen, he can and should and must cancel student debt period. We have 45

00:21:08.920 million people in this country who are shackled with student debt. You have to realize that

00:21:18.360 45 million people who are putting off the opportunity to start that business they wanted

00:21:25.660 to start. It is 45 million people who are putting off the opportunity to start the family they want

00:21:32.660 to start. That is 45 million people. 45 million people. Now, even if that was all true, it does not

00:21:43.120 address the main objection to so-called student loan forgiveness. Otherwise not a student loan

00:21:48.860 transferal from the person who took out the loan and forcing people who didn't take out the loan to

00:21:53.080 pay for it, but she doesn't begin to address the actual argument against it. Now, all she's talking

00:21:59.560 about is how difficult it is to have the debt and how, how painful it is and all that. Like no one is,

00:22:04.420 no one's arguing that point. It's not fun to have debt. No one's saying otherwise.

00:22:09.140 Um, but she doesn't address the argument against it, which is that, okay, someone's going to be

00:22:16.200 paying these loans off. And so either it is going to be the person who agreed to take out the loan

00:22:22.100 and purchase the product and has the product they purchased with that loan, or you're going to

00:22:27.440 force people who didn't take out the loan to pay for it. You're going to saddle it. Someone saddled

00:22:30.800 with the burden. It's either them. It's either the person took out the loan, the person or people who

00:22:35.000 didn't. The argument against student loan forgiveness is that people who didn't take out

00:22:40.680 loans shouldn't have to pay them. Simple as that. You know, you don't have to go beyond it.

00:22:47.100 Now, as it happens, what she said, what she actually said is also not true, by the way. She said 45

00:22:50.840 million people have student loan debts and they're, you know, these are 45 million people putting off

00:22:54.580 starting businesses and starting families and all the rest of it. Um, a great number of these people,

00:23:01.240 probably most of them, in fact, are not putting off living. There's no reason why you should put

00:23:05.180 off living your life because you have debt. Uh, my wife had student loan debt and we still got married

00:23:12.320 and, um, I have been pet. I, as the person didn't go to college, I've been paying off my wife's student

00:23:19.220 loans. Do you think I have fun doing that? You think I, you think I enjoy that? No, but she's my wife. 0.93

00:23:25.900 This is my family. I'm not going to go to anybody else and say, I, I, I would be ashamed as a man.

00:23:30.900 I would be ashamed as a man to go and try to enlist or, or even worse, force someone else to

00:23:38.740 take on my financial responsibilities. I wouldn't want to force anyone to take my financial

00:23:44.200 responsibilities, even less would I want to force anyone to take on my wife's financial 0.98

00:23:47.620 responsibilities. That's my, that's, that's for me. I'm the breadwinner in the family, so I will take

00:23:54.120 care of that. It's, it's disgraceful as a man, especially it's disgraceful to be sitting there

00:24:00.820 whining. Someone, I don't want to pay this off. Someone take care of it. Be a man. What is wrong

00:24:07.700 with you? Don't tell me that I can't do anything. Yes, you can. I mean, it's, I guarantee you one

00:24:16.240 thing, all these people will say, oh, because my student loan debts, I can't do this. I can't do

00:24:20.680 that. Um, how many streaming services are they subscribed to? I want to know that. How often do

00:24:26.340 they get the updated iPhone? And now you can still do pretty much anything you want to do,

00:24:31.440 even with the financial debt. It's just a matter of what are your priorities.

00:24:37.180 Um, one other political story here that I thought was interesting. This is from the

00:24:40.600 Washington Free Beacon says Arizona's democratic Senator Kristen Sinema likes to brag that her 0.72

00:24:45.280 cleavage has an extraordinary persuasive effect on some of her Republican colleagues. According to a

00:24:50.380 new book from New York times reporters, Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns Sinema, um, who has emerged as

00:24:56.080 an obstacle to the most radical parts of president Joe Biden's legislative agenda, boasts to colleagues

00:25:00.120 and aides of using her looks to get her way with Republicans. Sinema, uh, they say joked with 1.00

00:25:06.220 Democrats about how easy it was for her to charm Republican men and boasted knowingly to colleagues 0.73

00:25:11.800 and aides that her cleavage had an extraordinary persuasive effect on the uptight men of the GOP. 0.89

00:25:16.200 Now I read this and, um, I'm not exactly sure how this is breaking news or news at all,

00:25:24.100 but I did take note of one thing that's kind of interesting. I note how her cleavage apparently has no 1.00

00:25:32.880 impact at all on Democrat men. What does that imply? I wonder. No, you've got Cory Booker there saying

00:25:40.980 you, you have no power here, woman. Um, I mean, it could imply that they just take their jobs a lot more 1.00

00:25:46.940 seriously or, you know, something else. Different tastes, I guess. Uh, let's play a game here. This

00:25:55.640 is a game called owned and not owned. So first here's a viral clip when, when real viral yesterday.

00:26:00.820 And, um, once again, the left is claiming that Ben Shapiro was owned and destroyed and exposed during a

00:26:10.740 Q and a by, uh, with a college student. And we heard about this a couple of weeks ago, Ben Shapiro was

00:26:18.100 trending again. And, and, uh, and the claim was that he had been owned and destroyed. And we played

00:26:22.680 that clip and it really kind of came up short. Media matters hall monitor, Jason Campbell posted this

00:26:28.020 clip and, um, said, this is absolutely amazing. You have to watch it in two minutes. All of Ben

00:26:34.920 Shapiro's anti-woke tirades are just destroyed. And like I said, this went really viral. And this is

00:26:41.680 the, the, the left seems to be the, um, pretty wide agreement that Ben Shapiro was totally destroyed

00:26:49.580 by this. Let's listen and, uh, see how that destruction sounded. So if the idea is that history

00:26:57.460 has consequences, of course, that's true. That's not, that is not wokeness. What wokeness suggests

00:27:01.900 is that fundamental institutions in American society. No, it doesn't. Yes. I ran, I ran

00:27:08.180 Elizabeth Warren's campaign. I helped organize her volunteers around here. I am, I am a representative

00:27:17.920 of wokeness. And that's just, this is all it is. Well, I mean, like, I mean, I, I, you know,

00:27:25.540 when I went to go get my first tattoo, the guy had lightning bolts and 88s tattooed on his neck.

00:27:33.400 And as a Jewish person, that's really messed up. It's basically a threat. There are, there are racist

00:27:39.260 people who exist. The argument that you're making, and I'm going to close with this because this is

00:27:42.720 going in weird directions and I don't really want to, I don't, I don't really want to, just hold up a

00:27:47.140 second. I let you, I let you get out your arguments. Now it's time for me to respond because I let you

00:27:50.600 say the full argument. Okay, I'll let you respond, but. No, no, no, not but. Now's my turn. You, you are

00:27:55.840 not characterizing what I'm saying accurately. Now, now it's, now it's my turn. Your, your, your definition

00:28:01.500 is inaccurate. The reason your definition is inaccurate is because any sentient human being

00:28:05.340 would acknowledge that history has consequences. Right. But if the idea is, but that's not what wokeism is.

00:28:09.740 Wokeism is a different thing. Wokeism suggests that all inequalities of today are attributable

00:28:14.640 to not only historic injustices, but also continuing injustices in the now. And that

00:28:19.520 all disparities are attributable to discrimination. Not just that, not just that. A conservative is the

00:28:23.920 only person. Not just that. I want to know why. Why is it that conservative? I know I, I would let that

00:28:30.960 keep playing, but there's, that's it. That's the whole, that's the whole clip. Now I know you might say,

00:28:35.260 say that I'm, I'm biased and, uh, I kind of have to defend Ben. I don't have to. Now it's true that

00:28:42.420 if he actually was totally destroyed by a college student, um, I probably wouldn't play it on the

00:28:48.620 show. That is true, but then I just wouldn't play it. I wouldn't, I just would not acknowledge it at

00:28:53.000 all probably. Um, but I'm, you know, when, when it would be impressive. So anytime I see one of these

00:29:00.520 things trend, uh, college student destroys Ben Shapiro, I, I always watch cause I'm, I'm like,

00:29:04.780 okay, well, let's see if he actually does it. Cause that would be impressive.

00:29:07.900 And there's just nothing there is he was just, he destroyed Ben Shapiro by pointing out

00:29:14.160 that he met a tattoo artist with an offensive tattoo and he worked on Elizabeth Warren's campaign.

00:29:20.880 What? First of all, how are either, especially the, the, the second thing working at Elizabeth

00:29:26.280 Warren's campaign, how is that something to brag about in the first place? I think you actually

00:29:29.580 lose the argument from the get-go by pointing that out, but I don't even know what that's

00:29:34.600 supposed to prove exactly. There's no, there was no, there was no argument presented, nothing at all.

00:29:41.960 And there wasn't even an argument presented by Ben Shapiro because he didn't get a chance to speak

00:29:45.120 because he kept getting cut off. And this is, this is the point is that the guy, the kid

00:29:52.460 was able to successfully prevent Ben Shapiro from making a point by filibustering and talking over

00:30:00.020 him. And on the left now, that's what they consider owning and destroying. They're not even pretending

00:30:06.860 anymore that they're going to present arguments and defeat you, you know, on the battlefield of

00:30:12.600 ideas that way by presenting better ideas and defending them. They're not even pretending it.

00:30:16.860 What they're going to do instead is just stop you from talking. And if they can do that,

00:30:22.780 then you've been obliterated. So that was supposed to be owning. That was not. Here's what owning

00:30:30.220 sounds like. This is Democrat representative Jeffries at a different committee hearing. I want

00:30:36.880 you to just, we don't need a lot of setup here. I just want you to listen to this exchange. Listen.

00:30:41.180 Mr. Powell, you've echoed a similar sentiment. I think your quote is many on the left hate Justice

00:30:49.300 Thomas because he is a black conservative who has never bowed to those who demand that he must think

00:30:54.960 a certain way because of the color of his skin. What evidence do you have to support that incendiary

00:31:01.020 charge? When Chairman Benny Thompson calls him an Uncle Tom because of his views on voter ID and

00:31:10.400 affirmative action when in fact more black Americans support voter ID and with respect to affirmative

00:31:17.040 action in college education, they're 62% opposed to it. So, so that is the most vile, disgusting thing 0.84

00:31:23.120 you can say. And, and, and so, yes, that's, that's the evidence. Reclaiming my time. Yes. There are a lot

00:31:29.740 of vile, disgusting things that can be said. Well, you just asked me for an example. The notion that that is,

00:31:34.600 right, when some members on this side of the aisle and others have been called the N-word throughout

00:31:39.880 different points of our life belies the point that you have a particular bias. And it's an

00:31:46.380 overstatement, which is not surprising when you look at the balance of your testimony. And if

00:31:50.700 Chairman Benny Thompson has an observation to make, he's entitled to free speech. You apparently

00:31:56.240 believe that Jenny Thomas, regardless of how many conflicts she has, is entitled to her own political

00:32:02.140 opinions, uh, as well. Uh, can I give you another example? No, no, you can't, you can't. Okay. That's

00:32:13.020 what destroying somebody actually sounds like. Um, that's, that's what it is. Jeffrey says, can you

00:32:20.380 give one example? This, this terrible, terrible charge that people, Democrats have been racist against,

00:32:27.780 uh, justice Thomas, give us one example of this. Okay. Well, um, here's the guy who called him an

00:32:33.160 uncle Tom. Well, uh, yeah, but that's, uh, people have said worse things and free speech. And okay,

00:32:38.440 well, I'll give you another example. No, no, no. We'll just stop there. That's, uh, it's a total

00:32:44.800 humiliation, you know, and that's, and this is one thing I'm not a lawyer, but, um, one thing I have

00:32:50.140 learned just from watching the lawyer shows is that, uh, and I think it's something you could probably

00:32:54.720 take with you in, in life, especially in debates is never ask a question that you don't know the

00:33:00.480 answer to. Um, especially in a situation like this, that's it as a lawyer in court, also in a debate.

00:33:07.680 You don't want to pose a question to somebody that you don't already know the answer to it. In this

00:33:11.560 case, he didn't, he didn't know the answer and he was completely embarrassed. I mean, he's embarrassed

00:33:15.920 by any objective standard, but of course, as a Democrat, it's really just doesn't matter at all.

00:33:19.780 Um, one last thing is from pink news. Lesbian visibility week founder, Linda Riley has slammed 1.00

00:33:26.600 JK Rowling as the perfect example of how not to be an ally. Lesbian visibility week, which celebrates 1.00

00:33:32.720 lesbians and honors all queer women and non-binary folk within the LGBTQ community began on Monday.

00:33:39.560 Um, but, uh, so happy lesbian visibility week. I don't know. I forgot. I totally forgot to mention it.

00:33:44.140 Um, and I think actually, in fact, the fact that, um, during lesbian visibility week,

00:33:51.100 the number one book in the country is an LGBT children's book, I think is just, um, phenomenal.

00:33:56.240 It's fantastic. But JK Rowling decided to mark the occasion by saluting the resilience and courage

00:34:01.300 of her inspirational friend, LGB Alliance co-founder, Alison Bailey, ballot, Bailey, a lawyer is

00:34:06.760 currently suing LGBT rights charity Stonewall and her former employer garden court chambers for

00:34:11.220 discrimination. And, um, anyway, then the bunch of leftists came after JK Rowling for speaking out

00:34:17.560 about lesbian visibility week. Now here's the kind of funny thing about this is that, um, of course,

00:34:22.480 in reality, all of these various, as we went over back when it was trying, it was trans visibility

00:34:29.100 week. That was just two weeks ago. And I went over, it's like really a partial list of all the days

00:34:34.880 and weeks set aside on the calendar to celebrate LGBT people. And there are just dozens and dozens.

00:34:40.000 And it's all completely silly and ridiculous. Um, they're really, you shouldn't require any day 0.97

00:34:46.840 on the calendar, not even one to celebrate your sexuality. And it's a very weird thing in general 1.00

00:34:53.160 to have days like that, celebrating that aspect of, uh, of somebody. But as it happens, you know, um,

00:35:01.320 actually as much as the left likes to claim that they're being erased, you're erasing me.

00:35:07.380 Lesbians actually are the category of lesbian is in fact, in reality being erased. And if you, 1.00

00:35:17.100 if you follow the demographic trends in another 30, 40 years, they're, that just won't exist anymore.

00:35:23.520 And you look at the younger generations, Gen Z and millennials, um, while LGBT identification has

00:35:31.900 skyrocketed and trans identification has skyrocketed, lesbian identification has fallen off of a cliff.

00:35:37.100 And why is that? Well, it's because, um, every girl, every woman who in the past would have

00:35:47.480 identified themselves as a lesbian. Now they're being told that, Oh no, no, no, you're actually a

00:35:51.800 man. You're not a lesbian. You're actually a, not only a man, you're a straight man. It turns out.

00:35:57.420 So this is, if you want to talk about conversion therapy,

00:36:00.480 this is the, really the only kind of conversion therapy that goes on.

00:36:03.360 You know, on top of the most insidious form, which is in general, the way that kids are

00:36:09.620 recruited into the, um, LGBT fold, but here's conversion therapy. Essentially what the left 0.98

00:36:15.200 is doing is they're taking lesbian women and they are converting them into straight men or trying to 0.93

00:36:20.580 anyway. So that's what's happened. Let's get now to the comment section.

00:36:25.840 Populist Puerto Rican says, I agree with everything you said about the college treadmill. We really 0.90

00:36:47.480 need to start bringing back vocational schools and help kids get apprenticeships. Let them figure out

00:36:52.480 what they like in high school. And if they want to go on to higher learning, great. If not,

00:36:56.300 they'll at least have a solid foundation with which to start their lives. Yes. This is one of

00:37:00.800 the solutions to the college debt crisis. There is no real solution that's going to erase the past

00:37:06.780 because this is one of the harshest lessons of life is that you cannot undo what has been done in

00:37:12.160 the past. You can't really undo it. All you, all you can try to do is shirk your responsibilities

00:37:16.020 and pass the buck onto somebody else, which you shouldn't do. Um, but going forward, this is a

00:37:20.860 solution to college debt crisis, which is to stop setting all these kids into, into college.

00:37:24.720 And this is one alternative vocational schools, apprenticeships, that sort of thing.

00:37:30.440 But really, uh, right out of high school, like it's just almost no kids right out of high school

00:37:40.420 should be going to college. Almost none, even out of all, out of all the kids, like almost all the 0.99

00:37:44.800 kids who are in college right now shouldn't should actually should not be there. Only a small minority

00:37:47.900 should actually be there. And of that minority, only a small minority of that minority should go

00:37:53.380 right out of high school because even most of them would benefit from just taking a couple of years.

00:37:58.840 There's just no reason to do it. Of course, we know why the universities want to encourage that

00:38:04.580 because they, there's a financial motive there and they don't want, I mean, just think about this.

00:38:08.600 Why don't the universities want your, your child to graduate high school and then go do something

00:38:15.560 else for a couple of years and then go to college? Why don't they want that? Because they're afraid

00:38:18.480 that if you go and you do that, you might discover that you don't need to go to college at all. They

00:38:21.880 don't want you to discover that. There's no advantage that I can see really at all to going

00:38:28.820 to college right out of high school. There's no reason to do it. Who, what is it? A race? Who are you 0.99

00:38:32.140 racing? You got your whole life in front of you. So take a couple of years. You're still, you're still

00:38:39.100 young. Like there's, there's really nothing bad that can happen out of going to college when you're

00:38:42.940 21, God forbid, or 22. You go at any time. I could still go to college if I wanted to,

00:38:49.400 which at this point, if I did, it would only be just because it's funny.

00:38:54.060 Maybe that's my, maybe that's my next act of trolling is to go to college. Um, let's see.

00:39:02.540 Rachel says, what do you think of the Lily Peters story? Should, should the boy be charged as an

00:39:06.500 adult? Um, I have not read very much into this story mainly because it's so horrifying that it's,

00:39:12.820 uh, the kind of story that's just difficult to read. Uh, but from what I understand about this

00:39:17.900 story, Lily Peters is a 10 year old girl who was murdered. Um, and as it turns out, she was

00:39:23.220 strangled and sexually assaulted in the woods. Um, and then it, it turns out that a 14 year old boy

00:39:31.080 is guilty of this crime and is being charged as an adult. So I guess that's the debate is should

00:39:36.820 you charge 14 year old boys as adults? And what I would say to that is, um, in the vast majority of

00:39:44.520 cases, no, you shouldn't charge 14 year olds as adults because they're 14. But in a case like this,

00:39:50.280 yeah, absolutely. Uh, because this is just, if you're already at this point as a 14 year old,

00:39:59.640 society can never trust you again. You could never be trusted in society ever again.

00:40:06.860 There are things that a 14 year old can do, not many, but there are things a 14 year old can do

00:40:11.720 that I think just tragically on so many levels disqualify them from ever participating in human

00:40:18.620 society ever again. And this is one of those things. Um, E King says as an Amazon employee,

00:40:26.260 myself, seeing the book at work was the highlight of my day. Doesn't really say a lot, but for what

00:40:31.480 it's worth, uh, you know, I have heard some, some, uh, you know, there certainly are people within

00:40:37.800 Amazon and that's how we got a hold of these video clips in the first place who are still on

00:40:42.740 team sanity. And I, and I appreciate that. Uh, let's say another comment says talking about

00:40:50.240 Megan Fox. She says, she says that her son wears dresses like he chooses them, but I highly doubt

00:40:55.780 he picked them out himself from the store who bought him the dresses, Megan. No one buys their

00:41:01.180 son a dress unless they want him to wear a dress, which to me says she's a groomer. Uh, yes, absolutely.

00:41:07.180 That's, that's the thing. That's why, that's why I say it's one of the reasons why I say there's no,

00:41:13.600 there's really no such thing as a six year old trans kid or a six year old who chooses to be

00:41:19.160 non-binary or whatever, because that's not on so many levels. That's not a choice a child can make.

00:41:23.960 And especially they can't go out if they have female clothing is because you went out and bought 1.00

00:41:29.000 it for them, which apparently Megan Fox did at a very young age. But remember, remember she only did

00:41:35.040 this because she sensed when her child was in the womb that, uh, that he was going to be non-binary.

00:41:40.720 She sensed it. I mean, usually we're told from the left that children in the womb are not even human

00:41:47.780 unless they're non-binary or trans, in which case they are. I guess that's the one loophole. 1.00

00:41:53.680 You know, at the daily wire, we've started our own publishing wing called DW books. And we're proud

00:41:57.680 to publish books that actively fight the left's monopoly on storytelling like fiery, but mostly

00:42:02.880 peaceful in 2020 riots and the gaslighting of America by Julio Rosas. In it, Rosas exposes the

00:42:09.280 Black Lives Matter riots that broke out across the country in the aftermath of George Floyd's death

00:42:13.080 for the sham that they were. Rosas, who was reporting from the ground, gives firsthand experience and

00:42:17.680 illuminates the media's attempts to convince Americans that the fatal and destructive riots

00:42:21.600 were somehow peaceful. Check out the trailer.

00:42:25.360 The media gaslighted the American people for all of 2020 as the riots unfolded. They did not give you

00:42:30.600 the full story. I was there. George Floyd, Kyle Rittenhouse, Rayshard Brooks, Chaz in Seattle.

00:42:36.920 I saw all the riots with my own eyes. Windshields being smashed, giant rocks that were being thrown,

00:42:42.840 businesses that were starting to be looted. The crowd started to become hostile.

00:42:48.120 All the cops were trapped and surrounded. Police were being ordered to retreat. I experienced the

00:42:53.560 tear gas. I experienced the smoke. This was very real to me. The mainstream media,

00:42:59.000 they were trying to call them protests. CNN with that chyron saying, fiery but mostly peaceful.

00:43:03.880 They're trying to push a narrative of don't believe your lying eyes because they were trying

00:43:08.280 to appease a very dedicated Antifa movement that's there. When you read my book, Fiery

00:43:13.560 but Mostly Peaceful, you will get the full story. You will learn what actually happened during the

00:43:17.880 riots of 2020 and what the media did not want to tell you. Buy my book, Fiery but Mostly Peaceful,

00:43:23.320 everywhere books are sold. The book's available for pre-order on Amazon or anywhere you buy books

00:43:29.080 online, so go pre-order your copy today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:43:37.480 So today we're going to once again pick on a fellow YouTuber who is in dire need of a good

00:43:41.720 old-fashioned debunking. The channel is called Powered by Rainbows, so that should give you some

00:43:47.080 idea of what we're getting ourselves into. Powered by Rainbows provides, we're told in the channel

00:43:51.960 description, Weekly LGBTQ Education. The guy in the video we're going to watch wears a rainbow

00:43:57.640 tie-dye shirt with the words Professor Pride on it. Now I don't think that's his official academic

00:44:02.280 title though. I wouldn't be surprised if universities are actually giving out those kinds of professorships,

00:44:06.120 I don't know. The particular video we're interested in today is about the alleged

00:44:10.040 science of being transgender, as it says in the title. Now this has been viewed half a million times,

00:44:14.120 has 7,000 comments, most of them from people who say that the content was very encouraging and

00:44:18.520 validating for them. That's not a good thing because the content is also, as we'll see,

00:44:23.080 completely misleading, dishonest, absurd, and since it's validating and affirming people in

00:44:26.920 falsehood and delusion, extremely harmful. The whole video is 23 minutes long. I'm not going to force you

00:44:31.880 to sit through all that. Instead, we'll take about five minutes of this, the crux of the whole thing,

00:44:38.280 which purports to offer scientific proof beyond any shadow of a doubt that transgenderism is 0.98

00:44:43.480 scientifically valid. We'll take that. We'll watch and we'll react. Let's dive right in.

00:44:49.320 The thing you have to understand about transphobic people is their entire argument all boils down to

00:44:55.720 one thing, science. No matter what argument a transphobic person might call out in the middle

00:45:01.560 of their hatred, the keystone of that argument seems to be on a scientific basis. If you're not

00:45:07.960 familiar with the word keystone, it's a term used in architecture to describe the central stone at

00:45:13.960 the summit or the top of an archway, locking the whole arch together. Now, if only there was a way

00:45:20.360 for us to remove that keystone and scientifically prove their cornerstone invalid, then every single

00:45:27.560 one of their arguments fall apart as a result. And at this point, I think you know where I'm heading

00:45:32.840 with this episode, because luckily for us, science proves that being transgender is completely valid. 0.99

00:45:40.440 So let's explain how we know this. Hmm. Now, one of the reasons that I'm responding to this video is

00:45:45.960 that in these five minutes we're going to sort through, nearly every incoherent and fallacious

00:45:50.360 and fraudulent aspect of gender ideology is put on display. We see it already in how Professor Pride

00:45:55.000 has set all this up. In the world he presents, there are only two categories of people, even though he

00:46:00.040 would say that he believes in a non-binary system. He actually believes in a binary system.

00:46:04.520 But the two categories of people are those who agree with him on the topic of sex and transphobic

00:46:09.480 people. That's it. Now, he's right at least that the opposing point of view does all come down to

00:46:15.000 science. There are other elements to it also. Gender ideology is not just factually and scientifically 0.76

00:46:19.240 wrong, but also morally abominable as well. But the moral problems all stem from the falsehood of the

00:46:25.080 ideology. And so, it does begin with the science. If you can disprove our scientific argument that

00:46:30.120 men have penises and women have vaginas, then yes, you will have destroyed our whole position. You will 1.00

00:46:34.760 have leveled our fortress with a barrage of facts and logic. We'll be exposed and utterly defenseless.

00:46:43.080 So, let's see if Professor Pride can do just that.

00:46:47.640 The most common argument that transphobic people will make is that you were assigned the gender at birth

00:46:53.560 which you were always meant to be.

00:46:57.640 Okay. It's a little bit of a stop and start here. We have to stop it already because

00:47:01.720 Professor Pride packed more falsehoods into those five seconds than I thought was physically possible.

00:47:06.520 He's sticking with calling us all transphobes, which is false, but I'm not going to point it out

00:47:09.800 every time he does it because that's all I would be doing since it's all he does.

00:47:13.320 And then he says that our most common argument is, quoting him, who allegedly is quoting us,

00:47:19.160 you were assigned the gender at birth, which you were always meant to be. 0.97

00:47:25.640 No part of that is true. That's not even remotely the argument we make. None of us are saying that.

00:47:31.880 We do not believe that male and female are assigned at birth.

00:47:37.000 No mere mortal assigns sex at all. And the assigning process, if you want to call it that,

00:47:41.720 happens at conception, not birth. Also, notice how I'm using the word sex here, not gender. That's

00:47:47.080 because I reject the category of gender altogether. Humans have a sex, male or female.

00:47:51.960 Gender is a nonsensical, arbitrary category invented by pedophile sexologists in the 1960s. 0.71

00:47:56.680 So if you want to engage with what you call the transphobic argument, you would need to begin by

00:48:01.880 defending the invention of the gender category for human beings in the first place. Instead,

00:48:06.120 Professor Pride just assumes that the pedophile sexologists were correct, takes that all for

00:48:10.680 granted and charges forward. This makes everything that comes after this point totally irrelevant,

00:48:15.320 because you cannot assume that we have a shared fundamental premise here. We don't.

00:48:19.800 It's the fundamental premise that we're fighting about. If you aren't going to defend that,

00:48:24.280 and you're going to base your whole argument on a premise that you haven't attempted to defend,

00:48:28.920 then you've already lost. But let's keep listening anyway.

00:48:32.120 As accredited psychiatrist Moret Altenay reports, we know that after a father's sperm cell fertilizes an

00:48:40.600 egg in the mother's womb, that embryo starts to develop specialized genitalia resembling male or 0.99

00:48:47.640 female. Which genitalia it develops is determined by the father's sperm cell. But, quote, the brain and

00:48:54.600 the body can go in different directions. Gender is not only in our genitalia, there is something in

00:49:00.680 the brain that determines gender. So, technically speaking, this argument saying you were born with

00:49:06.280 the gender you were meant to be is correct, because your brain was born the way it is, and your brain

00:49:12.600 doesn't switch out with someone else's. But gender is not determined by having a penis or a vagina 1.00

00:49:18.680 downstairs. It's determined in your brain. Now, notice what he's done here. It's the same 1.00

00:49:24.440 thing that gender ideologues always do. Though these people claim that sex and gender are two

00:49:28.040 different things, he conflates them whenever it suits his argument. Here he says that gender is

00:49:32.360 determined by both your genitals and your brain. You'll note how he never says the word sex at all

00:49:36.920 at any point in the argument he's presenting. But if gender, and by that he means sex even if he doesn't

00:49:41.800 say it, is determined by both your genitals and your brain, then why would a man who is male in his 0.79

00:49:46.360 genitals, but female in his brain allegedly, be a female? I mean, if you've proven anything there,

00:49:51.160 and you haven't proven a damn thing, of course, at all, but even if you did, this is an argument,

00:49:55.160 I suppose, for non-binary, for people who are in between or both or whatever. It's not an argument

00:49:59.960 for women with penises. Of course, he's actually right that gender, read sex, is determined in your 1.00

00:50:07.400 brain as well. I mean, your brain is part of the picture. That's because your brain is part of your

00:50:12.820 body. And if you are a man, then your whole body is male, every part of it, every cell. 0.51

00:50:19.700 A man with a male body automatically has a male brain because the brain is part of the body, 0.78

00:50:24.620 and it makes no logical sense whatsoever to say that part of a man's body is actually a woman.

00:50:29.940 To speak of a woman's brain in a man's body is exactly the same as speaking of a woman's arm on a 0.89

00:50:35.280 man's body. Now, some men, especially liberal men, may have what appear to be women's arms,

00:50:40.160 but in fact, if they're men, then their arms are men's arms, automatically, despite appearances.

00:50:47.580 The same is true of brains. Indeed, the very definition of the term man's brain would have

00:50:53.520 to be the brain which exists inside a man's head. That's the only thing a man's brain is. 0.60

00:50:59.500 Now, Professor Pride's argument is logically invalid in about 75 different ways so far as we've seen,

00:51:04.700 but let's go for 76. Because here he's going to tell us about a scientific study which proved,

00:51:10.280 he says, that transgenderism is valid. Now, he never bothers to explain what he means by valid, 0.75

00:51:15.820 but, you know, we can only focus on so many fallacies at a time here, so let's listen.

00:51:19.840 In this study, the 2,600 participants were put in MRI machines to scan their brains and record

00:51:27.120 brain activity. The researchers also had cisgender men and cisgender women go through the same test,

00:51:35.480 and finally, researchers compared the scans. On the left side of your screen, you can see the

00:51:40.740 brain activity of a cisgender male adult. On the right side of your screen, you can see the brain 0.72

00:51:46.300 activity of a transgender male adult. But you'll notice, they look nearly identical. And that's 0.74

00:51:52.820 something researchers found in every single case out of the 2,600 participants. Their study concluded

00:52:00.260 that transgender males have brain activity almost identical with cisgender males, and wildly different 0.95

00:52:08.000 from the brain activity from cisgender females, even though they were assigned female at birth

00:52:14.080 of their genitalia. They also determined that transgender females have brain activity almost identical

00:52:20.840 with cisgender females, and massively different from the brain activity from cisgender males,

00:52:27.840 even though they were born male at birth with their genitals. In other words, the brain is 100%

00:52:34.940 backing the hypothesis that your gender is identified in your brain, not your genitalia. And it proves, 0.59

00:52:42.900 beyond a shadow of a doubt, that being transgender is completely valid according to science.

00:52:48.900 Okay, where to begin? Let's try to break this down. He does go on to mention one other similar study

00:52:54.300 that did the same sort of thing and had similar results, he claims. And that's it. Two studies

00:52:58.100 comparing brain scans. These studies prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that transgenderism is valid, 0.62

00:53:03.700 whatever that's supposed to mean, according to science. He also says that the brain scans were nearly

00:53:08.140 identical between trans people and the sex they identify as, and that this, again, proves absolutely, 0.88

00:53:13.500 without question, that he's right about everything. Though he does, at the end, say this. Listen.

00:53:18.900 The limitations of these studies are endless. As Dr. Altenay says, some of the brain scans show

00:53:26.780 people are somewhere between, sharing characteristics of both male and female brain scans. And this

00:53:33.360 scientifically proves that gender exists on a spectrum.

00:53:37.360 Wait, what? I thought you just said the studies proved your point beyond a shadow of a doubt. Now

00:53:44.060 you're admitting the studies had endless limitations? And I thought you said the brain

00:53:47.780 scans were identical. Now you say that some of the brain scans weren't identical, but were somewhere

00:53:51.260 in between? Which is it? I don't answer that. I know the answer. The study said whatever you need

00:53:55.640 them to have said in order to prove whatever point you're currently trying to make. This is how the

00:53:58.980 gender ideologues approach literally everything, including life itself. The truth is whatever they 0.63

00:54:02.820 needed to be in any given moment is as simple as that. And what about these studies? He says they

00:54:07.940 looked at brain activity. What sort of brain activity? Which activities? The human brain can do like 10,000

00:54:14.260 trillion calculations a second. The brain's doing a whole lot of activities all the time. Saying that

00:54:19.240 the brain activity between two people is the same means almost nothing. Or else it means that the two

00:54:25.440 people are, what, identical clones of each other created in a laboratory somewhere? No, what Professor

00:54:29.900 Pride means is that if you take a scan which examines a small limited subset of some brain activity and

00:54:35.860 you compare a, quote, trans woman to a, quote, cis woman, the scan will look similar sometimes but not

00:54:40.800 always. Okay, and? Notice how he put up on the screen an alleged example of a scan of a, quote, trans woman

00:54:48.140 and a, quote, cis woman, and then gives his audience, few of whom are neurologists, presumably, about 12

00:54:54.180 seconds to analyze them and come to the conclusion that, Eureka, they look kind of the same. Of course,

00:54:59.920 nobody knows what they're looking at or what it means and he also didn't let us see the control

00:55:03.260 group. The scan from this trans woman, quote, unquote, and this, quote, cis woman are similar but

00:55:08.540 what about a scan of a man who doesn't identify as a woman? How similar would that look? I'm betting it 1.00

00:55:15.060 would be pretty close as well. Indeed, I'm betting that the MRI scans of nearly every human brain on

00:55:20.340 earth would look pretty similar to most people, especially if you don't know what you're looking

00:55:25.680 at or how to read the scans. What does any of this prove? Well, nothing at all. The most it could

00:55:33.240 possibly prove, and I'm skeptical it even proves this, is that some elements of the brain's activity

00:55:38.380 in a man who desires to be a woman will mirror to a limited extent the activity of a woman who

00:55:42.540 actually is a woman. Now, this, if true, is not surprising and in no way even begins to invalidate

00:55:48.080 the claim that men are not women, at most, I mean at the absolute most, it would be a somewhat

00:55:53.500 interesting insight into the powerful psychological placebo effect that occurs when a man who wants to

00:55:58.840 be a woman is validated as a woman. It can't get within spitting distance of proving what Professor 0.99

00:56:05.000 Pride wants it to prove. And I've said all this so far and somehow I haven't even made the most

00:56:09.880 important point, which is this. He says that a man's female identity is valid

00:56:15.080 if the man's brain scan looks similar to a female's. But what if it doesn't?

00:56:22.540 If a transgender went in for a brain scan and you found that his scan looks more like his biological 0.91

00:56:27.580 sex, would you then tell him that he's not really a woman and his trans identity is invalid?

00:56:34.220 No, you wouldn't. You certainly wouldn't. Because all of this is irrelevant to my argument and also

00:56:41.240 to your own. So, in summary, your argument is false, self-contradictory, built on a false premise,

00:56:48.520 misleading, cherry-picked, and totally irrelevant to the claim that you're actually trying to defend.

00:56:54.120 Otherwise, great stuff. Also, Professor Pride, you're canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.

00:56:59.580 Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:57:29.580 Hey, everybody. This is Andrew Klavan, host of The Andrew Klavan Show. You know, some people are

00:57:51.440 depressed because the republic is collapsing, the end of days is approaching, and the moon's turned

00:57:56.020 to blood. But on The Andrew Klavan Show, that's where the fun just gets started. So come on over

00:58:00.700 to The Andrew Klavan Show and laugh your way through the fall of the republic with me, Andrew Klavan.
