The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 950 - If Only Babies Had The Same Rights As Sea Turtles

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wells Show, Democrats attempt to legalize abortion through every stage of

00:00:03.600 pregnancy up until birth nationwide. Meanwhile, people are getting sent to prison for killing

00:00:07.620 bald eagles and harassing turtle eggs. Our law and Democrat policies literally place animals

00:00:12.340 and bugs above human beings. We'll discuss plus Handmaid's Tale cosplayers show up at

00:00:16.920 Amy Coney Barrett's house and proceed to embarrass themselves because what else could they possibly

00:00:20.720 do? And a Republican Senate candidate is caught on tape in shocking video claiming that the gender

00:00:25.400 pay gap is a myth. Huge scandal. He's also completely right. We'll talk about that. For our daily 1.00

00:00:30.280 cancellation, we will attempt to make sense of the latest gender innovation, which is called

00:00:34.620 cake gender. All of that and more today on The Matt Wells Show.

00:01:47.140 switching to Charity Mobile. Last year, two guys named Bruce Wayne Bivens and Carl Lawrence Cobb were

00:01:53.920 sentenced to seven months in federal prison for the crime of harming or potentially harming turtle

00:01:59.620 embryos. Florida Fish and Wildlife investigators who were surveilling the area at the time caught Bivens

00:02:05.400 and Cobb red-handed digging sea turtle eggs out of the sand in the middle of the night. And then the

00:02:10.460 two dastardly crooks stashed their ill-begotten gains in a bag and they jumped into a truck and they drove

00:02:15.880 away, but law enforcement were hot on their heels like an action movie. And they made the stop and

00:02:20.740 they confiscated the sea turtle eggs and then they arrested both men. And the sea turtle community was

00:02:26.400 made a little safer for seven months at least as these dangerous predators were taken off the street

00:02:31.440 and put behind bars. Now, Bivens and Cobb are far from the first or only people to be prosecuted

00:02:37.000 under the Endangered Species Act and sentenced to prison and hit with hefty fines as well.

00:02:42.140 Only a few years before that, three men were sentenced to prison for drunkenly jumping into

00:02:48.520 a swimming hole in Nevada or what they thought was a swimming hole anyway. And then they inadvertently

00:02:52.700 smushed the eggs and larvae of the endangered pupfish, which is native to the region. And you

00:02:59.500 got to be very careful if you're in Nevada swimming because there are pupfish around. And if you hurt

00:03:04.200 one, then you could go to prison. One of the culprits spent a year in the federal penitentiary

00:03:10.000 penitentiary for that crime. He was lucky to get off so easy given that he was guilty of mass

00:03:14.740 murder. I mean, he killed dozens of these pupfish eggs. But you don't have to kill an endangered

00:03:20.520 species to provoke the wrath of the legal system. The Endangered Species Act prohibits even the

00:03:24.900 harassment of protected species, which is why a construction worker back in 2001 was sentenced

00:03:29.940 to jail time, plus 200 hours of community service and a fine for relocating 64 California red-legged 1.00

00:03:37.900 frogs and also 500 tadpoles from his construction site to what he thought was a safer location. He

00:03:43.360 was actually trying to help the frogs out because he was like building something and the frogs were

00:03:48.500 there. And he said, well, let me like relocate them. He didn't realize that this constitutes frog

00:03:53.460 harassment, which is a federal crime. And he paid dearly for his ignorance. Now, if they had been

00:03:58.220 another kind of frog, you would have been fine. But these are the red-legged frogs. And everybody knows

00:04:02.960 that you cannot touch a red-legged frog without going to jail. This is a legal pitfall that people

00:04:08.140 in the construction business are particularly susceptible to. Entire construction projects

00:04:12.400 are frequently shut down. And sometimes the people involved fined or sentenced to jail time

00:04:17.280 if they inadvertently disturb or irritate a protected species. In 2016, a $48 million road construction

00:04:23.700 project was put on hold because it threatened the habitat of a three-inch long fish called an

00:04:29.160 Okaloosa darter. Now, it would obviously be a great tragedy if the Okaloosa darter was

00:04:35.160 inconvenienced, which means that human beings must be inconvenienced instead, right? Like we can

00:04:40.220 choose between the Okaloosa darter having to, you know, accommodate us or we can accommodate them. And

00:04:46.340 of course, we choose them every time. As it happens a few years later, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife

00:04:50.680 Service removed the fish from the endangered species list anyway. So now you're entitled to harass the

00:04:57.940 little bastards all you want. But at the time, they were on the list, and that means you can't do it.

00:05:02.980 Now, I thought about these kinds of cases, and again, there are many hundreds more that I can

00:05:06.940 mention. When I heard yesterday about the Democrats' failed attempt to pass the so-called Women's Health

00:05:12.220 Protection Act, which would have legalized abortion through every stage of pregnancy for any reason up

00:05:17.440 until birth all across the country. Every Democrat, except for one, Joe Manchin, voted for the bill.

00:05:22.260 Now, it failed anyway, which led to lots of hand-wringing from the baby-killer squad.

00:05:28.180 For example, here's Kamala Harris' reaction. Listen to this.

00:05:30.960 I just presided over the Women's Health Protective Act vote, and sadly, the Senate failed to stand in

00:05:38.980 defense of a woman's right to make decisions about her own body. And let's be clear, the majority of

00:05:45.300 the American people believe in defending a woman's right, her choice, to decide what happens to her

00:05:52.660 own body. And this vote clearly suggests that the Senate is not where the majority of Americans are

00:06:00.340 on this issue. It also makes clear that a priority for all who care about this issue, a priority should

00:06:08.320 be to elect pro-choice leaders at the local, the state, and the federal level. Because what we are

00:06:15.640 seeing around this country are extremist Republican leaders who are seeking to criminalize and punish

00:06:22.540 women for making decisions about their own body. God forbid criminalizing the destruction of human 1.00

00:06:29.300 life. I mean, human life is not a sea turtle. Let's get a grip here. Now, in fact, the majority of

00:06:35.780 the American people do not agree with the Democrats, despite what Kamala Harris says. They don't agree with

00:06:40.700 Democrats that it should be legal to jam a vacuum tube into the base of a baby's skull in the eighth

00:06:45.900 month of pregnancy and suck his brains out of his head. The majority of Americans do not agree with

00:06:50.940 Democrats that it should be legal to rip a fully developed infant apart limb from limb. That's what 0.97

00:06:56.480 Democrats believe and want, and have already put these laws into place in many of our most populated

00:07:01.320 states. And even where they have not fully gotten their way, it is still the case that abortion, for now

00:07:06.180 anyway, and for the past 40 plus years, is still legal in every state. Which means that

00:07:10.280 humans in the womb have fewer rights, have less legal worth, fewer protections than sea turtles,

00:07:18.600 or California red-legged frogs, or the blessed Okaloosa darter. There are indeed hundreds of

00:07:25.860 species on the protected list, which means hundreds of species have greater legal protections in the

00:07:30.880 United States of America than human babies. And this includes insects, plants. There are several

00:07:36.680 different types of beetles, which if you were to step on them intentionally or unintentionally,

00:07:40.900 you could do a stint in federal prison for it. There are trees whose branches you cannot break

00:07:47.260 without risking your freedom. There are snakes and snails and clams, which all enjoy a legal status above

00:07:53.640 that of a human child. And to make matters all the more grotesque and insane, the fetal and embryonic

00:08:02.780 stages of all of these animals are also protected. The law draws no distinction between an embryonic sea

00:08:10.400 turtle and an adult sea turtle. When it comes to sea turtles, there is never a time when they're

00:08:17.400 considered just a useless clump of cells. Only human beings are considered totally worthless in their

00:08:24.540 earliest stages of development. Think about that for a second. In this country, only human beings

00:08:30.300 are legally worthless in their earliest stages of development. A beetle egg or a bee larvae enjoys

00:08:40.300 a higher status than a human being at any point in his gestation. This does not just apply to

00:08:48.060 endangered species either, by the way. Bald eagles are not endangered. They've been off the endangered

00:08:52.740 list for 15 years. And yet federal law prescribes two years in prison for anyone who kills, harasses,

00:08:58.520 annoys, insults, or breathes too close to a bald eagle or its offspring. A few months ago, a man in

00:09:04.300 Louisiana, this was this year, was sentenced to prison after being found in the possession of a

00:09:09.020 bald eagle feather. And they found him with a feather and then they interrogated him. Okay. They brought

00:09:15.400 this guy in and they interrogated him for having a bald eagle feather. Where'd you get the feather?

00:09:20.360 Where did you get it? And he admitted under interrogation that he had hunted and killed

00:09:24.600 the bird. Oh, dear God. Dear God, not the bald eagle. U.S. Attorney Brandon Brown, who was on the

00:09:31.460 case, explained why they had to throw the book at the eagle killer. He said, the American bald eagle

00:09:36.820 is a symbol of our American freedom. This defendant did not take this symbol seriously, nor the laws that

00:09:43.200 prohibit anyone from killing or possessing even a feather of a bald eagle. It's a symbol of our freedom.

00:09:49.620 So we're going to send you to jail. We're going to send you to jail for not respecting freedom.

00:09:54.800 You're going to sit in this jail cell and think about why freedom is important.

00:10:01.420 Now, what does, that's what a bald eagle symbolizes. Okay. What does a human child symbolize?

00:10:10.140 Nothing, apparently. Or he symbolizes, if anything, a burden, an inconvenience, an obstacle to be avoided

00:10:14.840 or destroyed. According to federal law, you cannot so much as touch a bald eagle feather

00:10:21.580 because of the eagle's great symbolic significance. That is in the law. That's what the law is.

00:10:30.280 But babies can be killed, harvested for their parts, the rest of them discarded as medical ways.

00:10:37.020 Think again about this for a moment. We have not just given greater legal worth to animals,

00:10:44.300 but greater symbolic worth also. And that symbolic worth is so important to us that it's codified into

00:10:51.460 law. There is no reason, really, why the bald eagle should be considered inherently special. I mean,

00:10:56.060 I like bald eagles as much as anybody else. I think they're very nice and pretty. But why is a bald eagle

00:11:01.200 any better than any other kind of bird? The difference is that we feel a personal attachment

00:11:06.680 to the bald eagle. We see the bald eagle as especially beautiful and majestic. And that's

00:11:11.460 reason enough to protect it under the law, apparently. And yet, a human child? Is there no personal

00:11:19.640 attachment there? No beauty or mystery or majesty that we recognize? Not according to Democrats.

00:11:25.760 Now, pro-abortion people will usually offer some sort of defense of this insane dichotomy by insisting

00:11:33.400 that, well, human beings aren't endangered and thus don't require the same protections. I mean,

00:11:38.020 I've heard this many times. I brought this whole thing up on Twitter yesterday, and this is the

00:11:42.480 response I got dozens of times. Well, you moron, humans aren't endangered. Now, this ignores the fact

00:11:49.880 that, as just established, not every specially protected animal is endangered. But leaving that aside,

00:11:55.300 this kind of logic would, for one thing, justify the legalization of the murder of humans at any

00:12:00.600 phase of life. If humans are expendable because they aren't endangered, then why can't I walk up

00:12:08.100 to my neighbor and shoot him in the head? He's not part of a protected, endangered species.

00:12:14.660 The answer, of course, is that my neighbor's inherent value, his legal and moral worth, is not contingent

00:12:20.840 on the laws of scarcity. He's not some kind of object, an item on a shelf, a product whose value

00:12:27.140 fluctuates according to supply and demand. It would be a moral outrage and a legal crime for me to murder

00:12:34.860 my neighbor today, and it would be no less of an outrage if I waited until there were 8 billion people

00:12:39.240 on earth instead of 7. You know, I can't, even right now, I can't murder my neighbor and then say,

00:12:47.200 what's the big deal? There's 7 billion other people on earth. What do we need that guy for?

00:12:53.780 I can't argue that. And we can see the logic with born people. We can see why it doesn't work that

00:13:00.220 way with born people. We can see it for now anyway. It's only with the unborn where it becomes somehow, 0.97

00:13:06.140 for some, confusing. But the tragic reality is that in treating the unborn as expendable,

00:13:14.320 as literally less valuable than insects and lizards, we have, whether we mean to or not,

00:13:20.860 devalued all human life. If human life is totally worthless at its earliest stages,

00:13:25.560 then it has no inherent worth. Because inherent means that it belongs to a thing by its very nature.

00:13:31.340 Belongs to a thing, in other words, as soon as that thing comes into existence.

00:13:38.920 And if that's the case, if it has no value by its very nature, no inherent worth,

00:13:43.040 then we don't have inherent worth either.

00:13:46.720 Our laws have put us lower on the totem pole than bugs and beasts.

00:13:51.740 And this is the consequence of living in a culture dominated by, run by, defined by, 0.91

00:13:58.300 an anti-human death cult. All human life is cheapened and degraded as we bow to inferior species. 0.77

00:14:07.320 And you know, while performing this act of humiliating self-debasement, placing ourselves

00:14:13.040 on a rung of the ladder somewhere below toads and crayfish, yes, there are federally protected

00:14:17.880 crayfish, by the way. As we do this, ironically, we end up devaluing even the animals we have

00:14:23.800 seemingly valued above ourselves. The entire ladder topples over. Because if we can't identify

00:14:31.640 any reason why we as human beings have inherent value, then there's no discernible reason why

00:14:36.980 any form of life should have inherent value. And if you don't believe me, just ask a pro-abortion 0.94

00:14:42.820 person to explain why trees and butterflies have value. And you'll see what I mean.

00:14:49.020 They can't explain it. Or the best they can do in explaining it is to describe their own

00:14:53.840 subjective experience of those other things. Let's say that the bald eagle is beautiful,

00:15:01.060 the tree is beautiful. That's your subjective experience of the tree. So what you're saying

00:15:06.900 is that the tree's value, it really hinges on your own experience of it. But hold on a second.

00:15:14.620 If the value of these things all comes back to the fact that we personally find them beautiful or

00:15:19.920 whatever, but we have no value, then how can the value that we assign to things mean anything?

00:15:29.140 They can't explain this. The elevation of animal life over human life ends up being something of

00:15:35.540 an illusion, actually. Legally, it's very real. I mean, the law literally on paper puts animal life

00:15:42.760 over human life, puts a tadpole over an unborn baby. But philosophically, we're all just tumbling

00:15:49.780 into the nihilistic abyss where nothing means anything. Nobody's worth anything.

00:15:57.520 And nothing has any actual value at all. But other than that, things are going great.

00:16:07.900 Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:16:15.240 All right, a little bit more on this, this vote yesterday by the Democrats, as Democrats are very,

00:16:23.620 very upset that they were not able to get this law through and on the books, which once again,

00:16:31.600 to emphasize and reemphasize this, what they were trying to do is legalize abortion for any reason

00:16:36.760 through every stage of pregnancy up until the moment of birth, the moment of birth, like the moment when

00:16:41.700 the baby is coming out of the womb anyway. And either the child's going to come out of the birth 0.98

00:16:49.700 canal dead or alive. But one way or another, it's happening. And what the Democrats say is that you

00:16:59.160 can kill it, right? Kill the child right before he comes out. And of course, obviously, there is just

00:17:06.180 no difference scientifically, morally, philosophically at all between killing a child five seconds before

00:17:15.500 he's born and killing him five seconds after he's born or indeed five years after he's born.

00:17:22.420 But as they're reacting to this, I want to play this clip from Katie Porter. She's a Democrat 0.98

00:17:26.420 representative. And she's she was on MSCBC yesterday explaining how, you know, we really need to get a

00:17:33.080 law like this passed and have the abortions, you know, keep churning out the abortions, because one thing

00:17:38.300 is that it will help solve inflation. Listen, President Biden has said that inflation is the

00:17:45.020 number one priority for the Biden White House to try to get under control right now. As you're out

00:17:52.240 there in California talking to constituents during this reelection year for Congress, how does inflation

00:17:59.620 compare to this newly important in the sense of the Supreme Court decision pending abortion issue?

00:18:07.880 How do those two issues compare? Well, I don't think they compare. I think they actually reinforce

00:18:13.220 each other. So the fact that things like inflation can happen and it can become more expensive to feed

00:18:20.100 your kids and to fuel your car is exactly why people need to be able to be in charge of how many mouths 1.00

00:18:26.680 they're going to have to feed. So I think the fact that we're seeing this jump in expenses, that we're seeing

00:18:32.020 people having to pay more in the grocery store, pay more at the pump, pay more for housing is a reason

00:18:37.520 that people are saying, I need to be able to make my own decisions about when and if to start a

00:18:43.100 family. So I don't think we're going to see them. I don't think it's about comparing them or contrasting

00:18:47.340 them. I think they reinforce for people just how big of a responsibility it is to take care of a

00:18:52.860 family. Yes, it's we got to kill the babies because otherwise it's just more mouths to feed. And so this

00:19:00.140 is the same argument we've heard over and over again. We heard it yesterday from Janet Yellen,

00:19:03.000 the Secretary of Treasury. And this is the argument. But once again, relating it back to the opening

00:19:10.120 there, you'll never hear an argument like this when it comes to animals. Similar to, by the way,

00:19:16.340 like a climate change. We need abortion because it'll keep the carbon emissions down because there's 1.00

00:19:21.200 fewer people. Well, I mean, animals, you know, also give off carbon emissions. So maybe we should

00:19:28.600 start killing some of them off for the sake of that. And also, what about the expense? I mean,

00:19:34.180 the enormous expense that we've had to undertake to keep these animals around. How much money are we

00:19:42.380 spending? The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to enforce all these laws, send them through the court

00:19:47.100 system. We're talking over the years, easily billions, easily billions of dollars.

00:19:52.760 At what point is it too much? At what point is it too much to protect the reticulated flatwood

00:20:00.920 salamander, which is, I'm just looking at the list of endangered species protected by the law. And

00:20:07.200 there are, again, I mean, there are hundreds you can go through. I got spiders on here. The spruce fur moss

00:20:14.060 spider. There's a bunch of spiders on here also. So at what point is it too much money to spend on

00:20:26.320 these animals? Well, what we'll hear from people like Katie Porter is that, oh, it can't possibly be

00:20:32.140 too much. To protect the red-necked parrot or the ash-breasted tit tyrant. That's the name of a bird.

00:20:47.700 I mean, I know it sounds like someone you might meet at the Women's March, but the ash-breasted 1.00

00:20:52.620 tit tyrant is a bird. So what Katie Porter would tell us is that there's no amount of money. I mean,

00:20:59.220 if we have to spend billions more, trillions, to keep the ash-breasted tit tyrant around,

00:21:04.400 then it's worth it because that is life. Damn it. But human life is an entirely different deal.

00:21:11.860 Who cares? Now, when it comes to human life, let's start looking at the dollars and cents.

00:21:16.220 Let's figure this out. If there was a different situation now with inflation and with the deficit

00:21:23.060 and everything, maybe we could afford to have more people. But we really got to start rationing.

00:21:27.340 We got to start rationing human life according to what we can afford to keep around.

00:21:32.920 And it is only human life that we take that approach with. Not the ash-breasted tit tyrant.

00:21:40.400 And I'm going to continue to try to find ways to work that into this show as we continue along.

00:21:46.560 Speaking of ash-breasted tit tyrants, their Handmaid's Tale protesters showed up at Amy Coney Barrett's 0.99

00:21:53.220 house yesterday. So they've been hunting down all the Supreme Court justices, and they finally made

00:21:58.000 their way to Amy Coney Barrett. And Fox News was there, and they interviewed one of the protesters.

00:22:04.820 And I thought what they had to say was pretty unintentionally hilarious. Listen to this.

00:22:09.780 This is Catholic. Catholic is letting their religious doctrine interfere with their ability to write 0.91

00:22:24.180 sound legal doctrine. It's also possible that the fact that she is an adoptive mother

00:22:30.800 is influencing her inability to see what it's like to carry a pregnancy to term. 0.95

00:22:39.080 Well, she's had five kids by herself.

00:22:41.960 Not everybody wants to have five kids, or four kids, or one kid.

00:22:47.680 So her first response, you just see how they, they just go with the flow. Like, it doesn't matter.

00:22:54.740 They're never taken, they don't lose a step, right? When they say something that's completely wrong,

00:23:01.480 and then you tell them, oh, but that's, you're completely wrong about that. They don't lose a

00:23:06.100 step. They just keep charging forward. Oh, well, that line of attack didn't work. I'll just switch over

00:23:10.560 to this one. Which, even though this one completely contradicts what I just said. So she begins by saying,

00:23:16.620 well, this woman doesn't even know what it's like to carry a child to term. Oh, but actually, 1.00

00:23:20.900 she's, she's carried five children to term. Well, not everybody wants to have five children.

00:23:26.920 But she thinks because she has five children that everybody should have it.

00:23:30.620 You see, it's two completely different talking points. On one hand, it's, oh, well, she's only in

00:23:35.580 favor of abortion because she's never had to go through this. And then we switch to, oh, well,

00:23:40.460 she's gone through this a bunch of times. It's just, she thinks everyone else should.

00:23:42.960 This is once again, the advantage of being not just a soulless wench, but also being a moral 0.99

00:23:53.740 relativist. And those two things come hand in hand almost all the time. But this is the advantage of

00:23:58.380 being a relativist is that the truth doesn't matter at all. You're not troubled by it. And you're just

00:24:03.920 simply going to say what you think, you know, whatever is the most useful in the moment, whatever

00:24:10.440 talking point is the most useful, you're going to use that one. And if it turns out not to be true,

00:24:14.960 then, you know, you'll switch to something else. Doesn't matter.

00:24:20.020 And, uh, but you notice something too. They're showing up there in their costumes and their,

00:24:25.460 and everything at Amy Coney Barrett's house. Uh, there's, there's only a handful of them though.

00:24:31.520 And that's kind of the dirty little secret here that the Democrats don't want you to notice

00:24:36.880 is that they are not getting the national backlash and outrage that they expected or wanted.

00:24:47.480 Like they didn't want just five weirdos and handmaid's tale costumes that they got at the,

00:24:53.120 at the Halloween store. They don't want just them showing up. They wanted, they thought and wanted

00:24:57.300 and hoped for a thousand people outside of Amy Coney Barrett with actual pitchforks and torches. 0.96

00:25:04.720 And instead they get five weird middle-aged cat ladies in red robes walking around. 1.00

00:25:15.960 And because they thought that that's the kind, they thought it would be national explosions of outrage

00:25:22.880 over the possibility and what it seems like the near certainty at this point that Roe v. Wade is overturned.

00:25:29.420 And they're not getting it, actually.

00:25:32.640 And now they're panicking even more.

00:25:36.160 Which is why they have already basically changed the subject.

00:25:42.900 Now they've got the women's march coming up this weekend. 0.96

00:25:45.060 They've got another big women's march and I'm still getting, they're getting a big crowd for that

00:25:48.200 because they've got, you know, they pretend this is all grassroots.

00:25:50.820 It's all astroturfed and everything. They've got a lot of money behind it,

00:25:53.520 a lot of paid protesters and everything.

00:25:55.320 And they're going to, you know, they're going to put all their money into getting a big,

00:25:58.100 I'm sure they'll get a, there'll be a big scene in D.C. and in, you know,

00:26:02.420 Los Angeles and Austin and other liberal cities.

00:26:07.100 But after that, it's going to kind of be the end of the activism.

00:26:09.420 That's my prediction.

00:26:12.300 Because people just are not nearly as upset about Roe v. Wade being overturned

00:26:17.440 as the Democrats thought they would be and hoped for.

00:26:19.360 All right, I want to go to this now.

00:26:22.600 The Pennsylvania Republican Senate primary, we know that it's kind of come down,

00:26:29.420 there are, you know, there's three or four people that are in the race still,

00:26:32.460 but it's really kind of come down to Kathy Barnett versus Dr. Oz.

00:26:37.480 And Kathy Barnett sort of exploded onto the scene last week when she took Dr. Oz to task

00:26:43.600 for his, for his support of abortion in the past.

00:26:46.840 And she had a very powerful, you know, some, some very powerful words from her own experience

00:26:50.960 and why she's, she's pro-life.

00:26:54.600 And now the, the so-called conservatives who have become Dr. Oz shills for some reason

00:27:01.340 have set out, especially over the last couple of days,

00:27:04.240 that has been an onslaught to try to destroy this woman, Kathy Barnett.

00:27:08.840 And they're putting, they're taking out of context, clipped things, and they're making

00:27:14.200 montages and putting it online.

00:27:15.840 They're digging through her tweets.

00:27:17.240 This is what conservatives are doing.

00:27:19.320 Digging through tweets from like nine years ago

00:27:21.460 to try to find offensive things to take this person down.

00:27:25.280 And, but what they're actually finding is that, um, they're really working against themselves

00:27:31.420 because as they dig through her tweets, what they find is that, oh, back in 2014,

00:27:34.580 she was pro-life.

00:27:36.460 She was socially conservative.

00:27:39.720 As opposed to Dr. Oz, who back 10 years ago, as we played on the show a few weeks ago,

00:27:45.360 10 years ago, he was pushing puberty blockers for trans kids, so-called quote unquote trans kids.

00:27:51.100 Now, what you have to understand about Dr. Oz when it comes to the gender ideology issue

00:27:55.060 in particular is, um, he was on the forefront of pushing gender ideology onto kids.

00:28:01.940 I mean, this was a, he did a segment, his, his first segment on it was 2010, 2011.

00:28:06.340 So he didn't even, he didn't jump on the bandwagon.

00:28:09.280 He was driving the bandwagon to push puberty blockers and gender confusion and gender transition 0.70

00:28:16.900 onto kids.

00:28:17.680 Now that's all we need to know about him.

00:28:19.580 Actually, that's, that's enough that should disqualify him forever.

00:28:23.180 And more than that, anybody in the, on the right who's shilling for him is also, as far

00:28:29.300 as I'm concerned, disqualified forever from having any kind of credibility.

00:28:35.380 Um, someone who was pushing gender transition onto kids.

00:28:39.260 No period.

00:28:41.000 Like, I don't care what else you've done in your life.

00:28:42.760 I don't care if outside of that, you've been a war hero.

00:28:46.940 I don't care if I, I don't care what else you've done.

00:28:49.320 You do that, you're disqualified.

00:28:52.460 That's happened with Dr. Oz though.

00:28:53.860 It's just, this is just one in a, in a parade of, uh, of leftist radicalism that we've seen

00:29:00.600 from him.

00:29:00.980 He's pro-abortion. 0.57

00:29:02.140 While Kathy Barnett, even six, seven, eight years ago was speaking out to protect the unborn.

00:29:08.500 Six, seven, eight years ago, Dr. Oz was pro-abortion two years ago.

00:29:11.620 He was pro-abortion pro-gun control.

00:29:14.880 You know, he was talking about, um, uh, you know, systemic racism.

00:29:19.640 And then only, this is less than two years ago, about a year and a half ago.

00:29:23.840 This was a segment on Dr. Oz's show about the Jacob Blake case.

00:29:28.820 Let's watch this here.

00:29:32.040 Shot seven times in the back.

00:29:35.020 Family of Jacob Blake speaks out.

00:29:37.140 He was trying to kill my son.

00:29:39.840 His devastating injuries.

00:29:41.740 Hurts to breathe, hurts to sleep.

00:29:43.760 They think he'll be able to walk again.

00:29:45.840 Then, behind the horrifying death of Daniel Prude.

00:29:48.860 Let me out! 1.00

00:29:49.800 A mental health crisis gone terribly wrong.

00:29:52.300 I called for help, and that was the help they gave him.

00:29:54.820 They don't even treat animals like that.

00:29:56.740 Next, Oz.

00:29:58.740 This was not 20 years ago, this was in 2020.

00:30:01.960 And he was pushing the Jacob Blake false narrative.

00:30:04.900 And I don't want to hear any excuses about, oh, we didn't know at the time.

00:30:09.220 If you're an honest and rational person, you knew immediately that the narrative over Jacob Blake was false.

00:30:17.740 I knew immediately.

00:30:18.780 First time I saw the video.

00:30:21.920 Before we even knew all the other details.

00:30:23.620 I mean, I didn't know initially that Jacob Blake, for example, allegedly broke into this woman's house and raped her.

00:30:30.920 And then stole her credit cards in her car and all that.

00:30:34.440 And then he showed back up at her house and she called the cops, and that's what precipitated all this.

00:30:37.800 Like, I didn't know that backstory.

00:30:39.240 I wasn't surprised by it when I did learn it.

00:30:41.760 But just watching the video, it was clear enough that he was fighting with the cops.

00:30:47.520 He was at least trying to steal a car.

00:30:49.960 He was reaching into a car.

00:30:51.040 He had a knife.

00:30:51.520 I mean, you could see all that in the video.

00:30:52.500 And this is why the police officer in that case was not charged with any crime because he didn't do anything wrong.

00:31:03.900 Jacob Blake was 1,000% in the wrong.

00:31:05.460 So this was Dr. Oz back in 2020, less than two years ago, pushing the radical BLM agenda and a false anti-police narrative coming to the defense of Jacob Blake,

00:31:16.460 who was an utter, total, woman-abusing, predator scumbag. 1.00

00:31:22.500 And now there are conservatives who want him to be in the Senate as a Republican?

00:31:31.980 Like, this guy, he has zero record of anything remotely conservative.

00:31:39.020 His entire record, his entire public career has been spent pushing leftism in its most radical forms.

00:31:45.980 And he doesn't even live in Pennsylvania.

00:31:51.280 He's a Turkish citizen.

00:31:54.060 So a Turkish citizen and New Jersey resident leftist is running for the Senate as a Republican in Pennsylvania.

00:32:02.480 And he's being pushed and promoted by very prominent people on the right to include, you know, President Trump.

00:32:14.980 All right.

00:32:15.980 Here's someone who actually deserves.

00:32:17.280 This is a Republican running for Senate who deserves some promotion.

00:32:19.580 Blake Masters is running for Senate in Arizona.

00:32:22.300 He's a Republican, which you already know that based on the fact that MSNBC is going after him.

00:32:26.120 And they, in fact, are trying to expose him now.

00:32:29.020 So they've obtained video.

00:32:30.220 And I'll play you this segment.

00:32:31.620 They've obtained secret video.

00:32:34.460 That they found from a public campaign event.

00:32:38.480 I don't know why it's secret video where he says this.

00:32:41.940 Listen, there's a new video that we just obtained, actually, out of Arizona.

00:32:47.180 Another Senate race that we are going to be looking at that is still crowded.

00:32:50.500 Trump has yet to endorse in this race, but one of the candidates who has already made a trip to Mar-a-Lago is Blake Masters, the other Peter Thiel candidate, along with J.D. Vance, who has been heavily financed by the billionaire.

00:33:02.820 I want to let you listen here.

00:33:04.200 This is the first time we are airing this.

00:33:05.760 Anybody is hearing this.

00:33:06.940 This was Blake Masters back in February when he was asked a question about the future of the Equal Rights Amendment.

00:33:12.800 Take a listen.

00:33:14.820 Women are not paid less in America than men. 0.75

00:33:18.040 And it's a left-wing narrative, this gender pay gap. 1.00

00:33:22.100 When you control for the occupations, when you control for people taking time out to, you know, birth children, things are actually pretty equal.

00:33:30.280 And men do the most dangerous jobs.

00:33:32.380 Men are the ones who are the police officers.

00:33:35.120 Not all of it, but, you know, 80% of it in this country.

00:33:37.720 Men are the ones who are doing risky, you know, fishing, crab fishing in Alaska.

00:33:42.540 And sometimes those jobs pay more.

00:33:44.900 Sometimes those jobs pay more.

00:33:46.360 And so I think we've got to push back on the fake left-wing narrative that women don't have equal rights in this country.

00:33:51.380 I want women to have equal rights, but we don't need an equal rights amendment that would actually just be a Trojan horse to give the government more power to implement Kamala Harris' national gender strategy. 0.99

00:34:02.660 Right?

00:34:02.840 This is what the left does, and we have to resist it.

00:34:04.900 Now, Chuck, in this video here, this is what we're talking about when we're talking about the new Republican Party of today.

00:34:14.080 And there's much we could tackle here around what you just heard from Blake Masters.

00:34:17.860 But one of them, I think it's important to pair, is to note there is a gender pay gap here in America. 0.99

00:34:22.540 That reporter's name is Vaughn Hilliard, which is just perfect somehow.

00:34:31.040 Perfect name for him.

00:34:32.600 So Vaughn, he's very impressed with himself, too.

00:34:34.260 When you cut out of that clip, you get back to him, and he's just kind of standing there.

00:34:37.020 You see that?

00:34:37.660 I got the goods on this guy.

00:34:40.060 I'm a good reporter.

00:34:41.020 Meanwhile, it's at, again, a public campaign event.

00:34:45.820 He's on stage in front of a crowd.

00:34:47.200 Like, he's not embarrassed about this getting out there.

00:34:50.120 In fact, Blake Masters himself tweeted this video out because he's proud of it, and he should be.

00:34:54.000 Because what he's saying is 100% correct.

00:34:55.980 And not only is it 100% correct, but it just shows you how in touch with things MSNBC is.

00:34:59.940 It's 100% correct, and it's something that conservatives have been arguing in the mainstream for years.

00:35:06.180 This is a totally normal thing that many of us have said many, many times.

00:35:13.020 And they hear it over at MSNBC, and they're shocked by it.

00:35:16.060 Who would ever say this?

00:35:16.940 I don't know who would say it.

00:35:18.840 Any conservative would say that?

00:35:22.440 With the exception of maybe the establishment of the Republican Party?

00:35:25.260 Maybe they're not going to say it.

00:35:27.660 Because they're a bunch of milquetoast cowards, but anybody outside of that will.

00:35:31.600 And it is, again, 1,000% true that gender pay gap is a myth. 0.95

00:35:34.760 Now, the way that they come up with the whatever it is, and it kind of changes, but now it's 75 cents on the dollar, 77 cents, whatever it is.

00:35:43.080 The way they come up with that is, number one, there's just an element of straight-up fabrication that goes into it.

00:35:49.340 And then for the rest of it, they do it by taking all of the women who are working, who are in the professional world, in the working world, 0.99

00:36:00.020 and taking all of the men, and just comparing them.

00:36:05.020 But, of course, you can't do that.

00:36:08.380 And this is how statistics, this is how you end up with damned lies and statistics.

00:36:15.440 You can lie with statistics.

00:36:17.000 Because you can't do that.

00:36:20.280 That's not a relevant comparison.

00:36:22.800 Because when you do that, then you're taking, like, for example, an airline pilot, and most airline pilots are men.

00:36:29.580 So when you're just comparing all men to all women, that means that you are taking an airline pilot and comparing him against a hairdresser.

00:36:38.520 You're taking, you know, and comparing their salaries.

00:36:41.820 You can't do that.

00:36:42.620 So what you have to do is take, first of all, take it profession by profession, and then find people of both sexes with similar levels of experience, similar levels of skill, seniority, putting in the same amount of hours, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, narrow it down, narrow it down, narrow it down, and so that you have a valid comparison and then compare them.

00:37:09.840 So you need to show me that a man and a woman in the same industry, doing the same job, with the same levels of seniority, same numbers of years of experience, same skill level, same responsibilities.

00:37:32.420 Show me the disparity there.

00:37:34.900 And when you narrow it down that way, the gender pay gap basically disappears. 1.00

00:37:38.140 And the thing is, even if you did find just a random anecdotal example of that, which I'm sure you could find, of course, I could also find anecdotal examples of that situation where the man is paid less.

00:37:51.040 But if you found me an anecdotal example of the reverse, that in and of itself still does not prove the theory that the woman is paid less because she's a woman.

00:38:01.880 The next thing I'm going to ask is, well, has the woman asked to be paid more? 1.00

00:38:09.800 You know, it could be, this is one of the secrets of, you know, working a job, if you didn't know this, is if you want to be paid more, if you think you deserve more,

00:38:17.740 the first thing you have to do, probably, is go to your boss and ask for more.

00:38:24.980 Doesn't mean you're going to get it, but you might.

00:38:27.900 See, a lot of times bosses, they're not going to pay you more if you don't even ask for it.

00:38:31.720 If you appear to be satisfied with your current level of pay and you're not scheduled for a raise or whatever,

00:38:37.820 they're not necessarily going to call you in and say, no, I'm going to give you some more money.

00:38:40.620 I mean, the good bosses will, but, you know, there are plenty of bosses who won't.

00:38:46.920 So that's why you got to go in and ask for more.

00:38:49.480 And not just for a raise, too, but during the salary negotiation process.

00:38:54.960 See, one thing that men are more likely to do is they're more likely to assert their own, you know, interests, ask for more money. 0.97

00:39:02.580 They're going to drive a harder bargain during the negotiation process.

00:39:05.520 Men are more likely to do that, and so they're going to get paid more. 1.00

00:39:07.340 But even with all that in mind, still, when you narrow it down and you come up with comparable, you know,

00:39:16.500 you have an actual comparable situation, the gender pay gap goes away. 0.88

00:39:22.060 Now, why is it that women often end up in industries that generally pay less? 1.00

00:39:30.440 Well, because that's what they choose.

00:39:33.300 Like, there are a lot more women who are hairdressers, a lot more men who are airline pilots.

00:39:37.340 It's just because women are more likely to want to do that kind of job. 1.00

00:39:41.940 Perfectly fine.

00:39:43.480 And also, as Blake Masters points out, there's a matter of priorities.

00:39:49.500 A woman is more likely to prioritize her family life, home life, having more free time, which is also great. 0.99

00:40:00.420 You know, that's actually a good thing to prioritize.

00:40:02.940 Men are more likely to prioritize just going to work and working all the hours.

00:40:08.120 And you can go too far on that end of things.

00:40:11.600 I know from experience.

00:40:12.700 But that's why the great thing between men and women is that there's a little bit of a balance there.

00:40:18.840 All right.

00:40:20.140 Let's, I guess we've got to get now to the comment section.

00:40:23.340 All right.

00:40:36.120 Scott says, I guess this is our chance to ask, why doesn't Biden just solve world hunger instead of sending all that money to Ukraine?

00:40:42.480 That's a good point.

00:40:43.080 The $40 billion that we sent to Ukraine.

00:40:46.420 And we just heard, because Elon Musk is paying $44 billion for Twitter.

00:40:51.980 And we were told that with that money, it could have solved world hunger.

00:40:54.720 So that's an excellent point, Scott.

00:40:56.120 Thank you for bringing that up.

00:40:59.420 Yeah.

00:40:59.740 If that amount of money could solve world hunger, then why haven't we done it?

00:41:03.920 We chose to give that money to the Ukrainian government.

00:41:07.480 We're going to line the pockets of Ukrainian bureaucrats and defense contractors rather than solve world hunger. 0.89

00:41:15.280 Because it's apparently that easy to do.

00:41:20.780 Let's see.

00:41:21.940 Melanie says, Matt has not researched the Britney Spears issue enough.

00:41:26.080 It could be that she's a bit crazy. 0.83

00:41:27.420 But why is she?

00:41:28.280 These are subjects that he needs to research more.

00:41:30.520 Well, I don't need to research it more because I have, of all the things going on in my life and issues that I care about,

00:41:36.640 I'm just not going to spend a lot of time researching Britney Spears.

00:41:40.800 What do you mean research?

00:41:42.300 I mean, it's like, so what?

00:41:43.680 I guess I'm going to sit down at night.

00:41:45.500 I'm going to have all books open.

00:41:46.780 And, you know, I've got the pencil in my ear.

00:41:49.380 I'm taking notes, researching the Britney Spears situation.

00:41:54.320 I don't care that much.

00:41:55.380 I admit that.

00:41:55.940 And so I also admit that my take on the issue is really kind of a gut level reaction.

00:42:02.560 But I think it turns out to be correct.

00:42:04.100 My gut level reaction from the very beginning is that I don't know a lot about the situation, but I do know that she's under a conservatorship.

00:42:12.180 She's had public mental breakdowns.

00:42:13.840 She lost custody of her kids as a woman, as a rich, famous woman in California. 0.97

00:42:17.500 I know all of that.

00:42:18.800 I don't know much else, but I know that.

00:42:20.040 And so it stands to reason, probably, if I'm a betting man, I'm going to bet that she's crazy and a danger to herself and others.

00:42:29.160 And that's why she's under the conservatorship and should probably still be under one.

00:42:31.580 And I think her behavior after being released and freed has only further proved that point.

00:42:40.200 And I also think, tragically, unfortunately, that the point is going to be proven finally, you know, five, ten years down the line because I just don't see her living that long on the path that she's on.

00:42:58.100 As someone with a history of being self-destructive, suddenly freed, you know, and sent out into the wild, open world because of a hashtag campaign, basically.

00:43:08.760 I just don't see that ending well, sadly.

00:43:12.440 So let's see what else we got.

00:43:17.780 Matt, Jimmy says, Matt, did you see that Taylor Lorenz sets her apartment to 87 degrees?

00:43:23.300 Explain so much.

00:43:24.180 I did see that.

00:43:24.840 So that was on Twitter.

00:43:26.020 Apparently, Taylor Lorenz, she's the Washington Post reporter who doxed the libs of TikTok, remember, while crying about being traumatized because people criticize her.

00:43:34.660 So on Twitter, apparently, and she has me blocked, but I saw the screenshots.

00:43:38.320 She said that she first said that she drinks three gallons of water a day, which just seems like way too much.

00:43:44.860 You're going to overwhelm your internal organs with that much water.

00:43:48.040 But also, and then she explained why.

00:43:50.040 She says that her apartment is 87 degrees.

00:43:52.760 That's what she sets her apartment at. 1.00

00:43:56.400 So she lives, I mean, it does explain a lot, I guess.

00:43:59.820 She's a lizard. 1.00

00:44:01.680 Taylor Lorenz is a lizard.

00:44:04.220 She just hangs out under a heat lamp on a rock.

00:44:07.520 She's either a lizard or maybe a different endangered species, like, for example, the ash-breasted tyrant.

00:44:16.240 Mike Devin says, Matt, men don't wear sandals with or without socks.

00:44:20.040 That's how the breakdown of our culture got started, normalizing men wearing sandals. 0.99

00:44:25.480 So Jesus wasn't a man?

00:44:28.620 The Vikings weren't men?

00:44:29.900 William Wallace wasn't a man?

00:44:32.640 I mean, I would say, on the contrary, all of the greatest men in history have worn sandals.

00:44:37.980 Jessica says, we officially need to get Matt to 1 million subscribers.

00:44:43.960 Walsh interpretive dance motions, preferably through the aisles of a theater, maybe the only thing that sustains us until the November elections.

00:44:50.300 M says, the SBG needs to choreograph an interpretive dance for Matt when he gets to 1 million subs.

00:44:54.840 Justin says, I pay for the Daily Wire but jumped on YouTube to subscribe to help the cause and get a dance out of Walsh.

00:45:00.220 Joshua says, everyone hold Matt to the promise of an interpretive dance at 1 million subscribers.

00:45:04.380 Jonathan says, looking forward to your interpretive dance, Matt.

00:45:07.560 This should be reserved for those who subscribe to DW.

00:45:11.540 Now listen, just hold on a second.

00:45:14.640 I know people are very excited.

00:45:15.740 A lot of comments about me doing interpretive dance because I did technically promise that.

00:45:18.500 But let's just stop and think about this for a minute.

00:45:23.700 Not every promise that a person makes, like there are, things can happen.

00:45:29.380 That's all I'm saying.

00:45:30.020 I'm just filled with so much regret right now.

00:45:34.360 I don't know why I said that.

00:45:37.620 It was, it was, talk about an unforced error.

00:45:41.000 There was no reason why I had to promise.

00:45:42.900 I don't even remember now why I said it.

00:45:44.180 It was like a, it was a fit of insanity.

00:45:45.800 And I just promised an interpretive dance.

00:45:48.760 And now people are messaging me and telling me that they're, that they're making YouTube accounts just so they can subscribe to see the interpretive dance.

00:45:55.140 You people are going to regret it, first of all.

00:46:00.820 Do you understand what me dancing would look like?

00:46:03.680 I don't even know what that would look like.

00:46:04.820 I've never done it.

00:46:06.860 But I guarantee it'd be deeply disturbing.

00:46:08.980 It's the kind of thing you will not be able to erase from your minds.

00:46:12.220 So that's just my warning.

00:46:14.960 You have been warned.

00:46:15.780 Well, it's the most infamous Supreme Court case in memory and the deadliest decision in history.

00:46:21.040 But even 50 years after Roe v. Wade, few know the full gruesome truth behind the landmark decision to decision that's enabled the destruction of over 64 million babies since 1971.

00:46:31.700 Well, tomorrow, May 13th, The Daily Wire will take a wrecking ball to the four big lies the abortion industry is built upon. 0.95

00:46:36.920 Tune in to the world premiere of our original documentary, Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe, and uncover the inside story of how Roe v. Wade came to pass and why it needs to pass away.

00:46:47.520 You'll hear the facts and stories the abortion regime has suppressed for generations and get a clear-eyed view at the brutal reality they desperately don't want you to see.

00:46:55.080 Some of this content is hard to take in, but few subjects, if any, are more important than this.

00:47:00.040 Check out the trailer.

00:47:06.920 Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting.

00:47:22.900 But once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late to stop.

00:47:29.060 I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. 0.98

00:47:43.040 We had put these women's lives in jeopardy. 1.00

00:47:45.820 We had put their lives at risk, and we were literally giving them a check for $800.

00:47:51.540 And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money. 1.00

00:47:54.940 I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things.

00:48:08.300 Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion clinic, crying out in pain.

00:48:12.520 The late-term abortionists talking casually about how they would literally leave a born-alive baby to die.

00:48:19.560 Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and stuff it in a plastic bag and bring it to us.

00:48:24.940 Babies are being born alive.

00:48:27.020 And the backs of their necks are being slid.

00:48:29.980 They are being drowned.

00:48:32.480 Their necks are being snapped.

00:48:34.940 It's happening more often than people want to think about.

00:48:39.660 These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these doctors, they don't care about these women. 1.00

00:48:47.360 And you're just realizing you're watching, in front of your own eyes, play out America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher children, in the name of choice.

00:48:58.780 The internet's can doors and the habit.

00:48:59.880 The cap is ongoing.

00:49:01.860 U.S.

00:49:02.600 I've got no mahon.

00:49:07.100 They're not done there.

00:49:17.060 They're not done there.

00:49:19.240 But a horse, you're not done there.

00:49:20.780 They're not done there.

00:49:21.780 We are politiques.

00:49:22.340 We areということ is done there.

00:49:22.380 We are faith in us.

00:49:23.380 We are helping you, too.

00:49:24.240 The mat is done there.

00:49:24.640 The court for now is taken to me.

00:49:25.460 We are beginning with birth on things.

00:49:25.580 We heart is done.

00:49:25.900 We are not done there for now.

00:49:26.660 It's done here any need.

00:49:26.860 We've gotpopular information about ways.

00:49:27.160 So please help us expose the truth.

00:49:37.300 Tell your friends to watch.

00:49:38.380 And if you're not already, become a Daily Wire member

00:49:40.040 and tune in Friday to our documentary on abortion,

00:49:42.360 Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe. 0.71

00:49:44.180 Go to dailywire.com slash choosing

00:49:47.000 and join the fight today.

00:49:49.100 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:49:54.420 You know, in recent times,

00:49:55.500 we've encountered so many new fake made-up genders 1.00

00:49:58.060 that you may think you can no longer be surprised

00:50:00.100 by the latest innovations in the gender market.

00:50:02.400 And perhaps this one will not surprise you,

00:50:04.220 but it does point us towards some insights

00:50:06.400 that are worth reflecting on.

00:50:07.560 Libs of TikTok brings this to our attention.

00:50:09.280 The hottest thing going on right now,

00:50:11.560 fresh out of the oven, it's called cake gender. 0.75

00:50:14.640 Listen.

00:50:16.280 Okay, I would describe xenogenders as a gender 1.00

00:50:19.200 that could not typically be described

00:50:21.480 with terms such as masculinity, femininity, neutrality,

00:50:25.700 androgyny, things like that.

00:50:27.120 It's more of not how you relate

00:50:29.180 to a particular gender experience,

00:50:33.520 but more of how you relate to things.

00:50:35.420 For example, cake gender.

00:50:37.960 I know a few people who personally use this.

00:50:43.060 It's typically described as them feeling light and fluffy

00:50:46.460 or sweet and warm.

00:50:48.000 And it's not something that you could typically describe

00:50:51.080 with the terms masculine, feminine, androgynous, etc.

00:50:54.960 Another example of cake gender would be 1.00

00:50:56.860 if someone feels like they have different layers

00:50:58.840 or flavors to their particular gender.

00:51:05.340 Cake gender. 0.96

00:51:06.260 Now, I have no idea why, first of all,

00:51:10.400 if you're going to choose a pastry-related gender,

00:51:12.800 you would identify as cake,

00:51:14.020 which is by far the most overrated

00:51:15.820 and most frequently disappointing dessert item.

00:51:18.540 I could see maybe pie gender, cookie gender, brownie gender.

00:51:22.980 That last one may be problematic,

00:51:24.900 you know, from a racial perspective.

00:51:26.360 I don't know.

00:51:27.380 Then again, those other genders I just made up 1.00

00:51:29.180 probably already exist.

00:51:30.500 I mean, exist inside some troubled TikToker's head, at least. 0.66

00:51:33.640 These are, as she tells us, examples of xenogender. 1.00

00:51:37.040 And I'm told by nonbinary.wiki that xenogender 0.92

00:51:40.560 is a, quote, nonbinary gender identity

00:51:42.500 that cannot be contained by human understandings of gender,

00:51:45.940 more concerned with crafting other methods

00:51:47.940 of gender categorization and hierarchy,

00:51:50.100 such as those relating to animals, plants,

00:51:52.120 or other creatures slash things.

00:51:55.420 Yeah, someone who is xenogender, 1.00

00:51:57.120 a term invented by somebody on Tumblr in 2014, by the way,

00:51:59.740 is so complex and deep and poetic

00:52:02.720 that they can't be contained by human understandings.

00:52:06.700 They transcend thought and reality and coherence.

00:52:10.960 The xenogendered individual cannot even relate 0.99

00:52:12.940 to mere mortal human beings like you and I.

00:52:15.920 She is beyond them, above them,

00:52:17.800 like a goddess floating in the clouds.

00:52:20.880 She cannot be compared to any gender. 0.99

00:52:24.180 Instead, she can be compared to cake. 1.00

00:52:27.140 Now, if you're wondering about the pronouns

00:52:30.780 for someone who is cake gender,

00:52:32.380 they are, and I looked this up,

00:52:34.260 cake, cakes, and cake self.

00:52:37.140 So, here's an example sentence.

00:52:40.140 Cake went by cake self to the bakery to get a cake

00:52:42.680 to celebrate cake's gender transition to cake

00:52:44.880 after the doctor replaced cake's genitals with cake 0.67

00:52:47.600 so that now cake can live as cake

00:52:49.000 and eat cake while being cake.

00:52:51.560 Hopefully that clarifies things for me.

00:52:53.480 Of course, I'm being unfair.

00:52:54.340 I mean, I'm making cake gender people seem very extremely insane 1.00

00:52:57.220 when they're merely just extremely insane.

00:52:59.400 After all, the lady on TikTok says

00:53:01.460 that a cake gendered individual

00:53:02.640 does not necessarily identify as a cake,

00:53:05.020 but rather identifies with cake.

00:53:07.580 She says that someone who's cake gender, 0.97

00:53:09.440 and she knows a few people,

00:53:11.120 more than one, who identify this way,

00:53:13.700 it's really someone who feels that they're light

00:53:15.660 and fluffy and warm and sweet.

00:53:18.280 Now, this is confusing to me

00:53:19.680 because the times when I feel fluffy,

00:53:22.080 like I did last night after eating too much Indian food,

00:53:24.460 those are precisely the times

00:53:25.540 when I do not feel light at all.

00:53:27.340 So I don't really understand that.

00:53:29.020 Be that as it may,

00:53:30.720 this actually reveals something quite clarifying

00:53:32.580 and important about the pronoun phenomenon, I think.

00:53:35.440 What it shows is that when these people talk about

00:53:37.700 gender and pronouns,

00:53:39.700 what they're really talking about,

00:53:41.540 if they're talking about anything at all,

00:53:43.580 is personality.

00:53:45.840 Now, I'm skeptical that anybody who identifies

00:53:47.800 as a baked good could really be warm and inviting,

00:53:50.800 but if they are,

00:53:52.780 that's their personality.

00:53:54.680 It's personality, not gender. 0.78

00:53:56.680 Personality.

00:53:57.520 Your personality is not your gender. 0.79

00:53:59.700 It's just your personality.

00:54:01.620 You don't need a pronoun to describe your personality.

00:54:04.000 That's not what pronouns do.

00:54:05.760 You don't need a gender to describe your personality.

00:54:08.140 That's not what a gender is. 1.00

00:54:10.140 These are all three separate categories of things.

00:54:14.540 Now, if I were to identify myself with a food item

00:54:17.040 that encapsulates my personality,

00:54:19.060 I suppose I'd have to identify as like the shoe leather

00:54:21.800 that you would be forced to consume

00:54:23.440 if you've been stranded at sea for seven months

00:54:25.200 and your food stores have run out.

00:54:27.300 But rather than claiming that I am shoe leather gender,

00:54:30.320 it'd make more sense to just say

00:54:31.660 that I have a rigid, tough, distasteful,

00:54:34.000 and unpleasant personality.

00:54:35.380 And that would make a lot more sense

00:54:36.720 and also be true.

00:54:38.400 Now, when you come to understand this fact

00:54:39.940 about the gender and pronoun mania gripping our culture,

00:54:43.120 it begins to make a little more sense.

00:54:44.700 Still not very much sense, but a little bit more.

00:54:47.200 As we've covered many times,

00:54:48.380 much of this is born from sheer narcissism.

00:54:50.460 These are people who spend far too much time

00:54:52.080 thinking about themselves,

00:54:53.780 analyzing themselves, inspecting themselves,

00:54:56.040 categorizing themselves,

00:54:57.640 explaining themselves to themselves.

00:55:00.660 They've kind of rolled their eyes

00:55:01.980 all the way back into their heads.

00:55:03.420 And now they spend their whole lives

00:55:04.740 looking back into the caverns

00:55:06.540 of their mostly empty minds.

00:55:09.500 That's one important element of this.

00:55:10.960 But the other is that

00:55:11.820 these people suffer from confusion.

00:55:14.340 I mean, all sorts of confusion, obviously,

00:55:15.900 but especially category confusion.

00:55:18.360 They conflated the personality category

00:55:20.700 with gender.

00:55:22.580 And in so doing,

00:55:23.460 they've essentially erased personality entirely.

00:55:26.720 I mean, now there is no personality.

00:55:29.140 No variation within types.

00:55:31.800 That's why these people,

00:55:32.480 you notice they never talk about their personalities.

00:55:34.520 They only talk about their genders.

00:55:38.360 Their gender type,

00:55:39.940 because there are only types.

00:55:41.760 They see gender as a filing cabinet 1.00

00:55:43.920 with a thousand drawers,

00:55:45.040 and each part of them

00:55:45.800 goes into a different drawer.

00:55:47.580 Each part is cataloged

00:55:48.720 and labeled and categorized.

00:55:51.140 And when they're done divvying themselves up,

00:55:53.420 there's nothing left.

00:55:55.260 There's no room for personality.

00:55:58.260 Ironically, in their obsession with identity,

00:56:00.480 they've left no space

00:56:01.580 for an actual identity.

00:56:04.300 They've not only categorized themselves to death,

00:56:06.740 but they also have turned

00:56:07.720 each part of themselves

00:56:08.840 into a gimmick, a costume.

00:56:11.300 Everything authentic has been lost.

00:56:13.460 I mean, if you're a woman

00:56:14.800 who also happens to be sweet,

00:56:16.660 warm, and inviting,

00:56:17.840 that's a wonderful thing.

00:56:19.360 I mean, you should be that sort of person.

00:56:21.660 We need people with that personality in the world.

00:56:23.860 There are too few of them right now.

00:56:25.220 But the moment you turn that

00:56:28.160 into its own gender,

00:56:29.820 you've just made your sweet,

00:56:31.840 authentic personality

00:56:32.640 into a weird, fetishistic charade.

00:56:36.260 You've made a parody of yourself.
