Today on the Matt Wall Show, Discovery just announced a new show about cross-dressing
00:00:03.520
children called Generation Drag. The corporate media will continue grooming and sexualizing
00:00:07.840
kids no matter what it costs them. Also, Biden thinks the economic devastation he's causing is
00:00:12.300
hilarious. The DHS secretary tries to defend his agency's new ministry of truth. And in our daily
00:00:17.120
cancellation, we meet a trans, queer, latinx, neurodivergent public theologian. What do any
00:00:22.680
of those words mean? We'll find out today, maybe. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:39.800
slash Matt. So last month, Discovery Media merged with Warner Media to create a new media conglomerate
00:01:47.340
creatively called Warner Brothers Discovery. You'll notice how all the people in media who
00:01:51.920
are so concerned about Elon Musk taking control of Twitter rarely bat an eye when these giant
00:01:56.440
corporations merge or buy each other out or come together through other means of corporate
00:02:01.160
copulation and form these giant monopoly behemoths. That is, they aren't concerned until they start
00:02:07.300
losing their jobs, as was the case over at CNN when the newly formed Warner Brothers Discovery
00:02:11.520
started cutting off the dead limbs, starting first with that rotting, useless piece of lumber called
00:02:16.060
CNN Plus. The goal is to, you know, bring everything, all of the various smaller streaming
00:02:21.420
services owned by the company under Discovery Plus and HBO Max. Now, after the merger and the
00:02:28.240
merciful euthanizing of CNN's streaming service, Warner Brothers Discovery needs some successes. You
00:02:34.160
know, it needs some hits. It needs to get some attention. It needs hits is what it needs. And it
00:02:39.800
apparently believes that it has just that with a new series just announced, debuting on Discovery Plus
00:02:45.420
in a few weeks, called Generation Drag. This is a reality show produced by Tyra Banks and revolving
00:02:52.260
around five child crossdressers as they prepare for a big drag show in Denver, which invites, quote,
00:02:59.540
teen queens, kings, and non-binary performers ages 8 to 18. Now, the children featured on the Discovery
00:03:06.360
Plus show seem to run that age gamut from very young to simply young. And all of them, of course,
00:03:14.180
too young to be involved in the liberal West version of Baka Bazi. Discovery released a trailer for this
00:03:20.420
abomination on Friday. The comments, if you go to YouTube, are disabled. I wonder why. You can
00:03:25.960
actually see why they're disabled when you watch the clip. Let's watch this.
00:03:34.520
I first discovered drag at 13. I didn't know what it was, but I knew I wanted it. Put on the wig and the
00:03:44.920
makeup, and I'm someone completely different. I'm so pretty! My drag name is Vanessa Shimmer, and she is
00:03:51.980
just a force you cannot reckon with. How do I parent a child that wants to do drag?
00:03:58.300
I never expected drag to be a part of our lives. Oh my god, these are so cute. These are problems I
00:04:06.800
never thought I had to prepare for. What I love about drag is the glitz and the glam.
00:04:13.720
I want to pause it here for a moment because I want to answer the question that the abusive mother
00:04:21.780
asks, albeit rhetorically. She asks, how do I parent a child who wants to do drag? And her answer on how
00:04:28.520
to parent the child is to not parent him at all, to instead allow him to be swept along by whatever
00:04:34.700
forces are influencing him, and simply stand by while he's used and abused in this way. Although
00:04:39.840
that's probably a far too generous interpretation of this woman's role and motives, given that she's
00:04:44.340
not only allowing her child to do drag, but also putting him on television, it's pretty clear that
00:04:48.920
the forces influencing the child and driving him to cross-dress are, at least partially, his parents.
00:04:54.240
As the horror movies tell us, it's coming from inside the house. There are a couple more points
00:04:58.360
that we made here, I think, some of which require us to unfortunately watch a little bit more of this,
00:05:04.820
I'm Noah, and I'm transgender. Have you talked to mom and dad about the pictures?
00:05:12.360
What do you think of taking those photos down? The constant reminder that we had to pretend
00:05:19.320
I was a boy. Do you think a mom would ever want to watch me do drag? How do I explain this to my
00:05:26.820
child that she doesn't fully accept Novela? Making friends has been a hard thing for me to do.
00:05:33.760
When I'm becoming Nemo. Whoa. Become more confident. Let me make sure you are appropriately fluffed.
00:05:41.300
This transition has been difficult for them, but they try, and that's all you can ask for.
00:05:50.060
It's important for kids to understand that they're not alone.
00:05:53.860
So my mom started Draguton. Kids and their families are coming from all over the country,
00:06:16.620
Now, one interesting thing that you see there when you watch this is that it seems like
00:06:26.160
every child featured in the show actually has what appears to be a father in the picture.
00:06:34.920
And you notice one there, the father himself is wearing the drag wig.
00:06:39.760
I'm sure they selected for that because they didn't want to, you know, they didn't want to
00:06:46.480
promote the stereotype that boys who get involved in this kind of thing oftentimes don't have fathers.
00:06:51.260
So they selected families where there's a father there in the picture.
00:06:55.080
But that only emphasizes the fact that there are many different kinds of fatherless homes.
00:07:00.860
And when we talk about the fatherless home epidemic, oftentimes that boils down to the
00:07:05.940
statistics of fathers who are physically not in the home.
00:07:08.760
But if you're just looking at that, you're not getting the full picture.
00:07:12.160
Because the actual epidemic is much, much larger than that.
00:07:16.960
And there are plenty of homes where there's a father physically present.
00:07:20.840
Like he's a living, breathing organism taking up physical space within the home.
00:07:31.240
He's certainly not present as a source of discipline and direction,
00:07:35.540
which is one of the primary things that children need fathers for.
00:07:38.760
So these are all fatherless homes, even if their fathers, quote unquote, are physically there.
00:07:49.060
Now, the child at the end there says, this is me and you better like it.
00:07:52.800
But tragically, he's wrong on both counts because he's been led wrong.
00:07:58.480
When he's dressed up in girl clothes and prancing around on stage for the enjoyment of predator adults
00:08:06.060
What is presented on stage is a rejection of everything that comprises his authentic self,
00:08:10.900
a rejection of his masculinity, his boyhood, his childhood, his innocence.
00:08:16.280
And he's not choosing to sacrifice it because he doesn't know what he's giving up or what the consequences will be.
00:08:20.980
The adults in his life are sacrificing it for him.
00:08:23.820
Now, the fact that this show exists and is produced by one of the largest media companies in the world
00:08:31.420
and one of the most famous and mainstream models in the world, Tyra Banks, is involved as well.
00:08:37.000
Well, and that they're putting this out there at a time when there's such intense
00:08:41.500
and eminently justified backlash over this kind of thing, you know, that all proves yet again,
00:08:46.320
of course, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that there is a conspiracy to groom and sexualize children.
00:08:53.140
They will promote the grooming and sexual abuse of children, no matter how much outrage it provokes.
00:09:01.340
You know, last week we had the clip from Good Morning America from a few years ago
00:09:07.960
when they were talking about child drag performers and they brought a child drag queen, quote unquote, on stage.
00:09:15.640
And that was done at a time, as evidenced by the fact that hardly anyone noticed when they did it,
00:09:21.340
that was done at a time when the media could do stuff like this and get away with it.
00:09:38.700
And that's also an important point to be made here and to realize.
00:09:43.000
But there's another point I want to make as well.
00:09:47.520
Child beauty pageants, events where young girls are caked in makeup and paraded around on stage,
00:09:55.700
those are dying out all across the Western world.
00:09:58.220
There's been even a push in some countries, including in this one, to ban the pageants outright.
00:10:03.900
But even if they haven't been successfully outlawed yet, they're certainly and thankfully not nearly as popular as they once were.
00:10:10.500
There is wide mainstream agreement that it is inappropriate to get your daughter involved in something like this.
00:10:17.100
Worse than inappropriate, it's exploitative and abusive.
00:10:20.180
This is one of the reasons why the horrible TLC show Toddlers and Tiaras was canceled back in 2013.
00:10:26.820
And even people who won't necessarily go that far in describing the pageants, maybe won't call them abusive and exploitative,
00:10:34.820
even most of those people will admit that it's controversial at any rate.
00:10:39.020
You can go to pretty much any left-wing media outlet and find articles that have been written denouncing these kinds of pageants.
00:10:46.080
Certainly if Discovery, which owns TLC, had announced last week a revival of Toddlers and Tiaras,
00:10:52.760
there would be widespread outrage over the decision and it would be outrage echoed by the left wing and in the mainstream media.
00:10:58.140
After all, why do you need to dress little girls up like fashion models and take makeup on their face and then send them out on stage to strut around?
00:11:09.420
Is this how little girls should be spending their time?
00:11:13.900
And most people seem to agree these days, anyway, that the answer is no.
00:11:18.140
And yet, if you take little boys and put them in dresses and cake them in a makeup,
00:11:27.660
suddenly many of the people who said that this sort of thing sexualizes little girls are okay with it.
00:11:33.900
In fact, Tyra Banks herself, on her short-lived talk show 10 years ago,
00:11:38.460
addressed the issue of child beauty pageants and treated it as a controversial subject.
00:11:43.960
Now she's producing a show about drag pageants for boys.
00:11:52.180
Have these people suddenly decided that what was sexualization for girls isn't for boys?
00:11:59.600
The answer is not that they don't think that these drag shows sexualize kids.
00:12:03.320
It's that in this case, that's exactly what they want to do.
00:12:08.920
You know, sexualizing girls is wrong, they say.
00:12:11.220
But sexualizing boys for the sake of promoting the LGBT lifestyle,
00:12:22.780
And that, I think, is the real point behind all of this.
00:12:27.340
You know, one thing we know about the left is that they hate everything that is good and true in the world,
00:12:38.260
and also everything that's delicious, which is why they're waging this war on meat.
00:12:42.840
And look, when the supply chain inflation caused meat prices to soar, their response isn't to solve the supply chain inflation,
00:12:50.060
it's to tell you that this is the perfect opportunity to switch from juicy, delicious, nutritious meat to, you know,
00:12:55.600
something called lentils or veggie patties or, even worse, bugs.
00:13:00.480
Outlets like Time magazine tell us eating bugs is the solution to all of your problems.
00:13:04.960
And, you know, the people telling you to do it aren't doing it themselves, of course, as always,
00:13:10.640
That's why recently I've come to the realization of something.
00:13:16.820
And that requires action against the bug eating movement, big bug.
00:13:22.500
So I have decided to double down on my meat intake,
00:13:24.840
and I'm inviting you to join me as well with Good Ranchers.
00:13:27.140
For a limited time, Good Ranchers is offering two pounds of free American Wagyu beef
00:13:31.940

00:13:35.720

So please don't let the vegans and bug eaters win.
00:13:45.720
We need to double down on eating meat, literally.

That's promo code Walsh at goodranchers.com slash Walsh.
00:14:04.540
So the White House correspondent dinner was back this weekend,
00:14:09.400
a time for the ruling class to get together and have a good hearty laugh
00:14:14.400
over how badly they're screwing up the country.
00:14:17.060
And Biden apparently, in a moment that will, you're going to see this moment,
00:14:22.120
you've already probably seen it a million times,
00:14:28.280
I mean, this is going to be featured, this moment in particular,
00:14:35.900
I mean, this is a moment tailor-made for attack ads from the other side.
00:14:41.220
Here's Biden having a good laugh about how badly he's screwing up America.
00:14:48.260
I think ever since you've come into office, things are really looking up.
00:14:51.680
You know, gas is up, rent is up, food is up, everything.
00:14:55.240
No, it really has been a tough first year for you, Mr. President.
00:15:01.380
Yeah, now, the one thing about this is that when that joke is made,
00:15:06.420
I'm not exactly sure what the right reaction is.
00:15:10.280
Because if Biden had sat there and looked angry or something,
00:15:16.640
But whatever the right reaction is, it's certainly not to laugh.
00:15:19.940
Even if it is kind of an impossible, like there's no winning right there
00:15:24.780
when you're sitting there at an event like this
00:15:27.440
and someone makes a joke about how your inflation and everything
00:15:36.220
But that only speaks to, that's not an offense of Biden.
00:15:39.380
That's exactly why this event should be happening in the first place.
00:15:46.480
And especially when there is a food shortage and there is inflation
00:15:54.320
and people are suffering economically in so many other ways
00:16:01.340
and just have a nice time and show off their luxury and wealth
00:16:10.160
It's not that they're, you know, one thing I've heard,
00:16:16.420
some conservatives that it's like these people are oblivious,
00:16:19.460
they're out of touch is another expression you hear quite a bit.
00:16:23.860
And I actually don't think that that's correct.
00:16:29.740
They know that the average person who sees them all in their tuxedos,
00:16:33.200
having a banquet, laughing about these things that are very serious.
00:16:39.800
inflation is a joke because it doesn't really affect them that much
00:16:46.120
Trevor Noah is somehow a rich, wealthy comedian.
00:16:52.900
Which that's a different subject, but I'll never understand that.
00:16:55.580
I mean, I've yet to, and I've given him a shot,
00:16:57.500
but Trevor Noah, he's almost as bad as like female feminist comedians.
00:17:08.440
but I can't think of one good joke I've ever heard him make, not one.
00:17:14.320
But regardless, this doesn't affect any of them.
00:17:16.880
So they can have a laugh, they can have a nice laugh about it.
00:17:21.100
Do they not, do they not realize how this is perceived by the rest of us?
00:17:25.600
Well, no, they, they know, they just, that's the point.
00:17:35.300
This is about them establishing their place atop the hierarchy.
00:17:44.500
Don't they realize, oh, these out of touch celebrities once again?
00:17:51.400
You have a four-hour ceremony on primetime television to just talk about how great you are
00:17:59.300
and award yourselves and pat yourselves on the back.
00:18:05.620
And they're happy about that because, again, it's about reestablishing the hierarchy.
00:18:11.260
It's about them saying to everybody else, we're up here and you're down here.
00:18:16.620
And if you're resentful and all that, that's fine.
00:18:22.400
We're okay with you as the peons being resentful and jealous.
00:18:27.920
So I think that's crucial for us to understand about this.
00:18:31.620
Later on, Joe Biden himself got up and did his own stand-up routine.
00:18:44.500
but I'm confident we can work it out during my remaining six years in the presidency.
00:18:51.400
And, folks, I'm not really here to roast the GOP.
00:18:57.700
Besides, there's nothing I can say about the GOP that Kevin McCarthy hasn't already put on tape.
00:19:02.760
At the same time, a lot of people say the Republican Party is too extreme, too divisive, too controlled by one person.
00:19:17.200
They say that's not your father's Republican Party.
00:19:20.620
Ronald Reagan said, Mr. Gorbachev, tear this wall down.
00:19:24.720
Today's Republicans say, tear down Mickey Mouse's house.
00:19:28.900
And pretty soon they'll be storming Cinderella's castle, you can be sure of it.
00:19:33.700
But Republicans seem to support one fellow, some guy named Brandon.
00:20:01.600
You got to throw in the slightly self-deprecating joke.
00:20:03.920
The other thing is, like, that was for the most part cringy and embarrassing.
00:20:09.960
And nothing more cringy and embarrassing than the comment about six more years.
00:20:15.620
And you could tell, even though they applauded in the audience, you know, no one sitting in that room feels that way about it.
00:20:22.000
I mean, these are the same people, remember, who a couple of weeks ago, when Obama showed up in the White House,
00:20:28.980
they left Joe Biden to just wander around by himself, standing alone, sat in the corner.
00:20:43.460
But at the same time, he did whatever meds they pumped into him so that he could basically be coherent for minutes at a time.
00:20:54.120
Keep in mind, this was not just, that was a minute clip.
00:20:56.640
But he spoke for, like, a few minutes in a row and was basically coherent for that entire time.
00:21:04.880
So I guess you give credit to whatever meds they put him on because they pumped him full of something.
00:21:11.500
And this is the point we've gotten to now with Joe Biden, where if you can see a clip of him speaking for one minute and making sense,
00:21:20.480
and not just randomly wandering off the podium or turning his back to the audience and talking to the wall or, like,
00:21:28.640
if you could just see for one minute standing in front of a microphone and speaking and making, basically making sense,
00:21:37.540
And this is the president of the United States.
00:21:51.580
A new book says that Kamala Harris is, here's a shocker, bit of a diva in the White House, apparently.
00:21:59.900
This is a new book that I believe is just released.
00:22:09.780
Harris worried that Biden's staff looked down on her.
00:22:12.220
She fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious.
00:22:16.260
When Harris walked into a room, the White House staff did not stand up the way they did for Biden.
00:22:20.040
The vice president took it as a sign of disrespect.
00:22:22.660
What was astonishing here is apparently there was a meeting about this.
00:22:25.860
Yes, the chief of staff to Kamala Harris telephoned the West Wing and told a senior advisor in the West Wing to Biden,
00:22:33.520
the VP has noticed this, and she would like folks to stand,
00:22:38.140
and staff members to stand when she enters the room.
00:22:41.520
This pulls back, I think, the curtain on what this White House is really like.
00:22:46.320
The tensions are deep and they are real between the VP's office and the West Wing.
00:22:50.080
Obviously, the public image is what it is, but this is an ongoing challenge.
00:22:56.120
And what is hovering over all of this, Chuck, is 24.
00:23:03.020
That is the mood music hanging over the entire Democratic Party right now, as are Biden's poor numbers.
00:23:08.500
By the way, that's from a book called This Will Not Pass, which is being released, I think, tomorrow.
00:23:17.900
And I did just go check, just out of curiosity, on Amazon.
00:23:23.720
And right now, it did surge one spot ahead of Johnny the Walrus.
00:23:29.480
So Johnny the Walrus was number one overall on Amazon for four days.
00:23:32.440
And right now, it's at number three, as This Will Not Pass, just passed in front of it.
00:23:37.680
And I could, first of all, consider this to be an attack on my identity as a children's author
00:23:43.180
and an assault on my psychological well-being, to be just at number three on Amazon.
00:23:47.340
So you can go to johnnythewalrus.com and make sure that we remedy that.
00:23:52.140
But in any case, that's some of what we hear in the book is about Kamala Harris being a diva,
00:23:57.120
which is, you know, that's exactly what any rational person,
00:24:03.100
this is exactly the kind of thing that a rational person expected to hear when they selected Kamala Harris.
00:24:09.280
And now the Democrats, of course, this is not any kind of great political insight to say the Democrats are in trouble for 2024.
00:24:18.280
Because Joe Biden might claim that he's going to run again, and maybe he thinks that he will.
00:24:29.700
But they have to know that that's just not going to work.
00:24:32.600
I mean, the idea of Joe Biden, look at what he is right now.
00:24:35.420
We're impressed with him stringing a sentence together for a year, you know, for a minute, rather.
00:24:42.020
And now imagine him at the age, he's going to be 82, running,
00:24:48.700
with the claim that he's going to be in office until he's 86.
00:24:53.900
But on the other hand, that seems more desirable than having Kamala Harris,
00:25:01.220
This is what happens when you take someone who got like 0.1% in the polls,
00:25:06.600
Because you're worried more about identity politics,
00:25:08.620
and you've decided to take the affirmative action approach,
00:25:20.540
Asa Hutchinson is the eunuch governor of Arkansas,
00:25:23.960
who perhaps not surprisingly supports turning little boys into eunuchs.
00:25:30.920
he, as you may recall, vetoed a bill that would have made it illegal
00:25:35.720
to chemically castrate little kids and sterilize little kids.
00:25:45.320
He had an announcement of his own to make on CNN.
00:25:48.300
You spoke at the Politics and Eggs event in New Hampshire,
00:25:53.100
a traditional stop for any presidential hopeful.
00:25:56.580
Are you seriously considering running for president?
00:26:01.180
I am, but you've got to get through, of course, this year.
00:26:07.140
and that's one of the reasons I was in New Hampshire,
00:26:12.720
and the border security is such an incredible issue.
00:26:15.380
That's what the kind of thing that I'm passionate about whenever you look at,
00:26:20.040
we need to have Title 42 or some equivalent to it.
00:26:23.640
Secondly, we've got to go after the cartels in a more vigorous fashion.
00:26:27.820
And then thirdly, we've got to support the states in the role that we play.
00:26:36.160
And so, yes, I'm going to be engaged this year and hopefully beyond that.
00:26:49.580
I've made it clear I think we ought to have a different direction in the future.
00:26:53.340
And so I'm not aligned with him on some of his endorsements,
00:27:00.120
but also the direction he wants to take our country.
00:27:03.220
I think he did a lot of good things for our country,
00:27:08.000
And so that's not a factor in my decision-making process.
00:27:13.860
Asa Hutchinson thinks he's going to be president, thinks he has a chance.
00:27:24.320
I have zero chance, but much better than this guy.
00:27:28.840
There is simply no path for Republicans like this anymore.
00:27:35.860
And by the way, there hasn't been one since Romney ran and lost.
00:27:47.900
there hasn't been a path for Republicans like this kind of Republican.
00:27:51.940
The milquetoast establishment Republican who's just, as I say,
00:27:57.520
what I think the word for them really is the speed bump Republicans
00:28:00.740
who maybe will lay down in the road and just try to stop,
00:28:04.420
not stop, momentarily slow the progress of leftism.
00:28:09.960
But a lot of times they won't even do that much.
00:28:19.720
I'd like to see his internal polling when he's sitting down with his advisors.
00:28:32.400
All right, this is an interesting story from CBS.
00:28:35.260
We're going to get out of politics before we go back to it in a moment.
00:28:38.260
But a little bit of history here is a story from CBS News.
00:28:43.740
When Mexican police found a pile of about 150 skulls in a cave near the Guatemalan border,
00:28:49.660
they thought they were looking at a crime scene and took the bones to the state capitol.
00:28:54.960
It took a decade of tests and analysis to determine the skulls were from sacrificial victims killed between 900 and 1200 AD.
00:29:05.920
So this is a crime from a cold case about a thousand years old.
00:29:09.560
This is according to the National Institute of Anthropology and History on Wednesday.
00:29:16.820
Believing they were looking at a crime scene, investigators collected the bones and started examining them.
00:29:23.440
The border area around the town of Fronterra, where this happened, has long been plagued by violence and cartels and everything.
00:29:30.960
And so that's what they thought they were looking at.
00:29:33.180
And pre-Hispanic skull piles in Mexico usually show a hole bashed through each side of every skull
00:29:38.400
and were usually found in ceremonial plazas, not caves.
00:29:41.720
Now, they say usually because they find a lot of skull piles.
00:29:48.360
That's kind of a troubling thing when you can say a statement like that.
00:29:52.380
Well, the skull piles are usually found with big holes punctured in them.
00:29:57.700
And they're usually found in certain areas where we know the ceremonies were conducted.
00:30:04.600
It's because this is where, you know, the Aztec Empire was.
00:30:14.000
They believed that in order for the sun to rise, in order for them to continue existing,
00:30:21.800
they had to continually appease their gods with human sacrifices.
00:30:26.940
And this happened not just in one location, but across the entire empire.
00:30:31.120
And thousands and thousands of people were killed.
00:30:34.940
Slaves were taken, oftentimes children, oftentimes women.
00:30:40.440
And they were killed in various different ways.
00:30:43.400
Of course, the primary method of execution for the Aztecs anyway, for human sacrifices,
00:30:48.120
was to pin them down to a stone slab and cut open their chests and pull their hearts out.
00:30:53.880
And then they would cut off the people's limbs and the kind of the trunk of the now decapitated,
00:31:02.080
butchered person would be rolled down the temple steps.
00:31:04.480
And the limbs would oftentimes be eaten by the priests.
00:31:08.460
Now, I bring all this up, not just because I'm trying to shock and horrify you,
00:31:14.460
And this is what happened before the Spanish showed up, before the conquistadors showed up.
00:31:20.920
And, but that's an event that we're supposed to, we're told, mourn.
00:31:27.220
When the conquistadors came, the Europeans came, and they conquered, you know, the new world.
00:31:35.300
And we're supposed to continually apologize for it also.
00:31:38.300
Even though none of us around today had anything to do with it.
00:31:40.580
Not that I'm, not that I begrudge, you know, I'm fine taking the credit
00:31:51.600
Because as it turns out, you know, this is what the conquistadors were up against.
00:31:56.140
If you can imagine, and you can't, because none of us can.
00:31:58.640
You are, you've already sailed across an unknown sea and you land somewhere and you really don't
00:32:11.480
You know, it's impossible for us to even conceptualize this because we, you know, we have GPS.
00:32:16.820
We have, so everything, you know, our, our perception of the world is completely different.
00:32:22.680
We, we, cause we know what the world looks like.
00:32:24.600
And you can pull out your phone and just connect with a satellite and it'll tell you how to
00:32:48.420
And the first thing that happens is they come across these big temples and pyramids and they
00:32:56.320
And, and oftentimes the place is drenched in blood and it smells like human flesh and
00:33:02.560
there are decapitated heads and, and limbs all over the place.
00:33:14.600
By this enormous empire of warriors where this is what they do.
00:33:18.920
They just capture and kill people and they managed to, uh, conquer this, this, uh, this
00:33:27.420
It's a story of courage and heroism and something we should all be grateful for.
00:33:32.940
I mean, this, this civilization that butchered women cuts, cut the hearts out of children
00:33:44.040
So, all right, going back into politics briefly here, um, the DHS secretary appeared on CNN
00:33:51.140
over the weekend to defend, um, the ministry of truth that they have put in place, what
00:34:00.660
And, uh, the DHS secretary says that, Hey, everything you're hearing about it, it's all
00:34:04.740
a bunch of, uh, this is just conspiracy theories.
00:34:06.940
Don't worry about it because he says you, you can, we can trust them.
00:34:17.340
So what we do, we, we in the department of Homeland Security don't monitor, uh, American
00:34:25.860
The board does not have any operational authority or capability.
00:34:30.220
What it will do is gather together best practices in addressing the threat of disinformation
00:34:37.280
from foreign state adversaries, from the cartels and disseminate those best practices to the
00:34:44.400
operators that have been executing in addressing this threat for years.
00:34:51.640
I mean, the people that are in charge of this, they've told us that we can trust them
00:34:56.960
How often have we heard that from government agencies?
00:35:00.340
Oh, we don't, we don't monitor Americans except when we do, but other than the times when we
00:35:07.560
Now he was also asked about Nina Jankiewicz, who's the left-wing activist who's going to
00:35:11.700
run this disinformation board, the ministry of truth.
00:35:14.000
And he says that nothing to worry about there either, because she's totally neutral and
00:35:23.220
Republicans are criticizing your decision, the administration's decision to choose Nina
00:35:35.640
Eminently qualified, a renowned expert in the field of disinformation.
00:35:41.860
Would you be okay if Donald Trump were president, if he created this disinformation governance
00:35:48.780
board, or if it is in place and he wins again in 2024, that he's in charge of such a thing?
00:35:54.180
I believe that this working group that gathers together best practices, makes sure that our
00:36:01.240
work is coordinated, consistent with those best practices, that we're safeguarding the right
00:36:07.440
of free speech, that we're safeguarding civil liberties.
00:36:10.240
I think it's an extraordinarily important endeavor.
00:36:13.080
Before I let you go, I'm sure you have heard that Kevin McCarthy, now the Republican leader
00:36:17.860
who hopes to be speaker if Republicans take over in November, will consider impeaching you.
00:36:25.080
Well, he gives reaction to that, but I assume he's opposed to being impeached.
00:36:29.540
Now, we know that what he said, he said Nina Jankiewicz is neutral.
00:36:32.700
We know that that's not true because she's on the record with her.
00:36:41.620
She's been on the record about that in the past.
00:36:44.020
We also know, even though she's supposed to be a foremost expert in disinformation, I don't know
00:36:49.480
how exactly you become an expert in disinformation.
00:36:51.680
In a way, everybody at CNN are experts in disinformation, I suppose.
00:36:57.280
Anyway, so that's one of the ways that we know that she's not neutral is because we know
00:37:04.900
But also, we know that she's not neutral because she is, we assume, a human being.
00:37:13.600
Now, if she was some kind of robot, that might be different.
00:37:17.060
But even then, if she was a robot, then she would have been built and programmed by somebody,
00:37:23.120
Because there is no neutral human being on Earth.
00:37:29.100
Every human being has a worldview, has opinions, has a perspective, has some kind of ideological
00:37:40.500
commitment, even if it's half-baked and self-contradictory and all the rest of it, which it is for a lot of
00:37:52.840
And when he says that she's totally neutral, we know that that's a lie.
00:37:57.280
But the reason that he says that is because the only way that something like this could possibly
00:38:05.640
actually work is if it was actually being run by neutral people.
00:38:11.300
We would need to be able to trust what they're labeling disinformation actually is, and that
00:38:20.540
they don't have any other motivations, and that they're not politically invested in any
00:38:29.800
Like, in order for it to work, we would need to be able to trust that.
00:38:32.340
But we can't, because no human being is neutral.
00:38:40.940
That's why the government can't do things like this.
00:38:45.000
Because we're relying on them as political actors to be the arbiters of what is true and what isn't.
00:38:58.160
The fact that no human being is neutral is the whole point.
00:39:07.660
And of course, even though he says that, yeah, well, if Trump was in charge of the government
00:39:11.040
and he was running the disinformation board, I'd be fine with that.
00:39:16.300
He says that, but of course, we know that that's also not true whatsoever.
00:39:19.740
One other quick thing before we get to the comment section, I want to put this up on the
00:39:25.840
This is a tweet from, this is a guy who works at Microsoft.
00:39:37.760
And he puts, he's got an image of his positive COVID-19 test because he's still taking COVID
00:39:43.200
And this is his caption, rage crying this morning.
00:39:48.780
Uh, two years of isolating and keeping my toddler safe.
00:39:52.580
And I get infected with COVID-19 at a mandatory team offsite, even while wearing a KN95 mask.
00:40:07.060
It's a hashtag calling for, you know, injecting kids under the age of five.
00:40:10.480
Imagine being a man who not only rage cries at all.
00:40:26.740
Um, I don't have a lot of familiarity with that, but rate rage crying.
00:40:31.760
And then doing it over a mild illness because you got a cold and then announcing it to the
00:40:39.840
And we can't expect from the kind of guy who rage cries over a cold.
00:40:51.840
How would you react if you went into the room and your husband is, is crying because he
00:41:00.560
has a cold and then you, and then you said to him, what are you, are you crying?
00:41:04.080
And he said, I'm only crying because I'm angry.
00:41:08.480
Uh, that's how do you go forward as, as a, as a woman in that situation, knowing that this
00:41:14.440
I mean, I'm sure it's not news to her, but anyway, the kind of guy who rage cries, I assume
00:41:20.260
we, we probably cannot, uh, obviously we can't rely on him to have any sort of introspection,
00:41:24.780
but if he was capable of introspection, then he might start thinking to himself, well, wow.
00:41:29.120
Um, I have completely, my, my life has, has revolved around this for two years.
00:41:35.780
I have sacrificed two years of my life just to avoid getting a cold.
00:41:42.700
And I've, and worse than that, I've sacrificed, um, my, my child being able to live a normal
00:41:48.940
life so that he doesn't get a cold and, and then, uh, and then it happens anyway.
00:41:55.700
So an introspective person, first of all, would not have gotten to this point in the
00:41:58.980
first place, but if they did, would stop and think, well, you know, maybe the lesson here
00:42:02.160
is that I should just be living my life because these kinds of things are going to happen.
00:42:09.240
Maybe when he's done, when he wipes the tears away and is done rage crying, maybe he'll
00:42:29.060
How soon can this ministry of truth and its board be disbanded and who has the power to
00:42:33.860
Well, uh, the only people that could do it are, you know, this is another government initiative,
00:42:38.200
government agency, government board, whatever, if the government's doing it, then the only
00:42:41.220
people who can stop it are also in the government.
00:42:45.480
And, um, our only ability to do anything about it is to try to vote people into office who
00:42:53.880
Um, but that's, that's, that's the issue here is, um, when Republicans are in control of the
00:43:03.440
executive branch, can we rely on them to disband the ministry of truth?
00:43:07.680
You know, I think if Ron Santos becomes president, then that's exactly the kind of thing that
00:43:13.820
And he's proven that with the way that he's governed Florida.
00:43:16.380
But, um, a lot of Republicans, no, I wouldn't trust them to do it because here's, here's the
00:43:21.320
thing, um, a ministry of truth, just like every time the government expands and gets into a
00:43:26.120
new area, uh, it always means, of course, more power for the government and the people
00:43:30.300
who are in the government, especially the people running the government and having your
00:43:38.280
And so you need people in office who are willing to sacrifice their own power, who are willing
00:43:46.260
to say, this is an enormous amount of power that this particular thing gives me and I'm
00:43:53.280
Um, most Republicans have proven over the course of many decades that they are not actually willing
00:43:59.280
to do that, which is why, even though every Republican campaigns on shrinking the size
00:44:04.560
of the government, none of them, I mean, literally none of them have done it so far because you
00:44:12.800
run the government and the bigger the government is, the more power that you have.
00:44:18.720
So that's, uh, that's kind of the catch 22 here.
00:44:21.660
Um, that means that there's just a very small select number of Republicans that we can trust
00:44:28.260
And, uh, like I said, small, small select group.
00:44:31.960
Um, let's see, Jax says, love his point about going to college after high school.
00:44:36.600
I served a two-year mission after high school and my college experience so far has been a lot
00:44:40.340
better for me than it would have, uh, been if I hadn't done that.
00:44:44.040
I feel a bit more mature and understand who I am better than if I went to college straight
00:44:53.380
And you're not going to find very many people who wait a few years to go to college
00:44:58.600
and regret the fact that they didn't go right at the age of 18.
00:45:05.160
Meanwhile, there are a whole lot of people who regret the fact that they went to college
00:45:09.480
I know there's not a lot of regret in the other way, but there's a whole lot of regret,
00:45:15.820
Another comment says, one week ago, I attended the Hodge twins comedy show in California.
00:45:20.860
They opened it up for Q and a, and the first question that was asked of the twins was,
00:45:31.160
Our conservative community is growing so rapidly now because the left is so insane.
00:45:40.280
I once again feel attacked by that, but I love the fact that we are, we are growing.
00:45:47.520
The cult is growing and anytime you could put somebody on the spot who will have no idea
00:45:53.520
what you're talking about, you should definitely do it.
00:45:58.720
Lance says, love that Walsh comes swinging for Ben multiple after multiple speeches in
00:46:05.880
Oh, he doesn't need the help, but we are a team here at the daily wire.
00:46:08.620
That's, and that's definitely not the case with every conservative media outlet.
00:46:12.900
So you can't take that for granted, but I think it is here.
00:46:14.960
Um, whiteout says, Matt, I recently found out that my parents enjoy pineapple on their
00:46:20.820
This has scarred and devastated me emotionally.
00:46:23.260
How do I confront them of their insurrection against my wellbeing?
00:46:27.020
Look, as a dedicated contrarian, and I get these comments with questions about pineapple
00:46:31.520
Um, and as a contrarian, I've decided, I guess that I'm going to become an apologist for
00:46:38.480
I don't hate it as much as many people do, but I am now officially in favor of pineapple
00:46:43.880
on pizza just because I'm sick of people complaining about it so much.
00:46:49.700
Haven't done this in a while, but you, sir, are banned from the show.
00:46:53.440
You know, last week, my LGBTQ plus masterpiece of a book, Johnny the Walrus, became the number
00:46:57.640
one bestselling book in America and, uh, is still at least in the top five.
00:47:02.240
And of course the deranged leftists saw this as a great opportunity to be even more deranged.

Amazon quickly followed up my great success by banning the book's advertisements after

For our daily cancellation today, we turn our attention to an article from one of our local
00:48:07.520
outlets here in Tennessee called the Tennessean.
00:48:10.320
In a recent piece, the Tennessean extends an invitation to us that, um, none of us asked
00:48:14.600
for or wanted headline is meet Nashville's trans queer latinx neurodivergent theologian.
00:48:22.700
Now you'll notice already that this headline is nominally six words long.
00:48:26.980
And yet after the second word Nashville, it takes a three word detour into utter gibberish
00:48:31.580
and doesn't return to reality and words that exist in the dictionary until the end with
00:48:39.360
This gives you an idea as to what to expect as we venture into the text of the article
00:48:43.840
It begins, Robin Henderson Espinoza is the only Nashville-based trans queer latinx neurodivergent
00:48:58.760
Sounds like there's a sentence cut off here, or maybe the author of this piece had a stroke
00:49:03.420
But it turns out that, of course, the they refers to Robin Henderson Espinoza, who, despite
00:49:07.540
having three names, is only one person, but still goes by they anyway.
00:49:12.020
And it continues, I don't know anybody like me, Henderson Espinoza, who uses gender neutral
00:49:18.260
Yet it was only recently when Henderson Espinoza, 45, got to know their better self, or rather,
00:49:30.320
Such is the diagnosis that they are on the autism spectrum.
00:49:33.140
Amid this eventful period in their life, Henderson Espinoza also made time to write
00:49:37.480
reflections about their personal experience and its connection to larger sociopolitical events,
00:49:43.800
Henderson Espinoza's new book, Body Becoming, A Path to Our Liberation,
00:49:50.200
Somehow, I don't feel a threat from that book to Johnny the Walrus.
00:49:53.260
I don't think that I have to worry about that making it into the top 10.
00:49:56.300
I must, again, though, point out here that the correct gender neutral pronoun for an individual
00:50:05.340
So if you're really neither male nor female, and yet you're a single person, then you are
00:50:11.820
But Robin, just like every other supposed gender neutral person, doesn't want to use it because
00:50:18.460
But rejecting the binary of female and male is by its nature dehumanizing as you are rejecting
00:50:23.980
the very human nature, which declares that there are only males and females.
00:50:29.220
These people want to have their dehumanized cake and eat it too.
00:50:33.380
Robin says that she, and I think this is a female, but I'm taking a bit of a shot in the
00:50:37.400
So she is, unlike anyone she knows, incredibly unique.
00:50:46.440
The accumulation of meaningless identity labels is a narcissistic attempt to present yourself
00:50:51.700
as more complex, more interesting, deeper, more profound than the average person.
00:51:02.180
Henderson Espinoza, an ordained Baptist minister who has a PhD in philosophy, knew for many
00:51:07.380
years that they were transgender, but didn't explore what that meant to them until 2017
00:51:13.780
Henderson Espinoza found a Vanderbilt physician who was overseeing Henderson Espinoza's hormone
00:51:18.900
Then in 2018, Henderson Espinoza learned that they're on the autism spectrum.
00:51:23.240
It never occurred to me that my brain worked differently, Henderson Espinoza wrote in their
00:51:26.940
I realized that my socialization in the church and academy had been through neuronormative
00:51:32.280
people who didn't understand my body or my mind and had curated such a disconnection
00:51:38.720
Wait, if you don't identify as either male or female, then what are the hormones supposed
00:51:46.680
Meanwhile, Robin, addicted to the self-satisfied high she got from accruing the labels trans,
00:51:51.920
non-binary, latinx, decided to go back for another hit, adding neurodivergent to the
00:51:58.200
As has happened with so many other things, the category of mental illness has now been
00:52:06.700
This is why LGBT activists will so often list their mental health conditions as if the conditions
00:52:14.740
And like sexual identities, mental illness has been made into something trendy, desirable,
00:52:22.140
The made-up term neuronormative has the same scoffing tone and dismissive ring to it as
00:52:30.700
And that's the other thing about all of the obsessive labeling that leftists do to themselves.
00:52:35.340
While labeling themselves, they also put labels on the rest of us that we did not choose or
00:52:43.120
Cisgender is not a term that any so-called cisgender person chooses for themselves.
00:52:51.700
Now, God forbid we label them in a way they don't like, but they can label us all they
00:52:56.920
Those are the rules they want us to play by anyway, but I refuse.
00:53:00.200
Also note in that last segment, again, the sheer volume of absolute certifiable nonsense, especially
00:53:09.140
I realized that my socialization in the church and academy had been through neuronormative
00:53:14.000
people who didn't understand my body or my mind and had curated such a disconnection from
00:53:26.100
How can someone else curate your own disconnection, whatever that means?
00:53:33.420
Well, Robin does quite a lot of babbling, it turns out.
00:53:35.900
This is common of leftists generally, but especially those who identify themselves as pastors and
00:53:40.900
Those two labels, as it happens, are the most absurd of all the titles Robin gives to herself.
00:53:46.400
As evidenced by this clip of Robin Henderson-Esposoza, originally posted to Twitter by a group called
00:53:51.400
Q Christian Fellowship, which says in its bio that its mission is to cultivate radical
00:53:55.560
belonging for LGBTQ plus people, and it achieves this, apparently, through incoherent prattle
00:54:08.140
The not yet is in the space of a realized utopia.
00:54:13.320
The not yet is the Christian message that we must embody in critical and creative ways to
00:54:21.880
steward a narrative that calls us into being human with one another again.
00:54:28.260
That is the kind of hope I want to invite us to embody.
00:54:33.360
That is the kind of queerness that I hope we can practice.
00:54:37.740
One that reimagines language and practice and narratives that can be midwifed and stewarded
00:54:54.360
That is the kind of power I think we have as a collective of believers, of doubters, of
00:55:09.860
So this is like the leftist version of speaking in tongues, because no part of what you just
00:55:17.980
I mean, it is religious, no question, but this is not the Christian religion you're hearing
00:55:37.740
Now, if you listen to that and you hear all the big words and think, well, maybe I'm just
00:55:41.880
too stupid to understand what she's saying, then you're having exactly the reaction that
00:55:50.420
Your failure to understand gibberish is not a shortcoming on your part.
00:55:55.740
This is just how smug leftist academics speak, because for one thing, they would rather dazzle
00:56:00.540
you with their faux intelligence than actually communicate like normal human beings.
00:56:09.380
When it comes to leftist ideas in particular, this is especially the case.
00:56:13.120
They hide behind this impenetrable fortress of scholarly sounding bulls**t, because along with
00:56:18.400
wanting to impress you with what it usually turns out to be a pretty middling intellect,
00:56:22.280
they also want to disguise their true meaning, such as there actually is any true meaning
00:56:27.120
Whatever they're trying to say, if they're trying to say anything, they prefer to keep
00:56:31.700
it safe, locked inside a box of gibberish and buzzwords.
00:56:35.900
The hope is that you'll just nod confusedly and go along with whatever it is they want you
00:56:40.080
to do or whatever direction they want to take you.
00:56:42.520
They want you to scratch your head and shrug your shoulders and say, okay, sure.
00:56:46.020
Let's be stewarded to the imaginal space of queerness.
00:56:52.420
What they don't want you to do is stop and say, wait a second, what exactly are you trying
00:56:57.240
Can you speak like somebody who isn't suffering from a severe concussion and just put it in
00:57:03.260
They don't want that, because if there is any meaning underneath all this nonsense, it's
00:57:10.140
Something that they clearly don't want you to see or understand.
00:57:13.940
And that is why, finally, Robin, the Neuro-Latinx transbinary divergent theologian, is today
00:57:32.940
