The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 957 - You Can't Make Me Care About Monkeypox

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media has found a new virus to fear monger over, monkeypox,

00:00:04.720 but the public health messaging around this disease has been quite a bit different from

00:00:08.100 what we heard for COVID. I'll explain why. Also, Nancy Pelosi is finally told that she has to

00:00:12.720 stop receiving communion at church on account of her advocacy for baby butchery. A newly engaged 0.98

00:00:17.340 AOC gives her thoughts on the life question, and her thoughts are as stupid as you've come to expect. 1.00

00:00:22.040 A gender-affirming psychotherapist says that sex education in kindergarten is too late. 0.99

00:00:26.520 It should really start at birth, she says. In our daily cancellation, a trans activist reacts to my

00:00:31.260 what-is-a-woman trailer and is not too pleased, I can tell you. We'll talk about all that and more 0.99

00:01:51.900 so hurry over to helixsleep.com slash Walsh. There are something like 200 viruses circulating

00:01:58.300 in the human population at any given time, many of them potentially fatal, and that doesn't include

00:02:03.860 all of the other causes of contagious disease like bacterial infections and the other ailments

00:02:08.900 that are not contagious but still deadly like cancers. So if for some reason you're looking for

00:02:13.560 a reason to be paralyzed with fear and anxiety on a Monday, you could pick any of these illnesses at

00:02:20.080 random and just obsess over them if you want to. Or you could wait for the media to select it for

00:02:24.500 you. And if that's your strategy, then you have no doubt already updated your scary disease rankings,

00:02:29.020 and you've taken COVID down a notch, and you've put monkeypox at the top. Monkeypox, by the way,

00:02:34.700 got its name because it was first detected in a few monkeys back in the 70s. But monkeys are not

00:02:39.940 a major carrier of the virus, according to Scientific American, and they didn't first jump

00:02:44.920 into the human population from monkeys. Actually, rodents are probably the natural reservoir

00:02:49.940 for the disease, which means by all rights it should be called ratpox, which makes it sound

00:02:54.940 even scarier. So it's kind of a missed opportunity. I think rodentpox or ratpox. But in any case,

00:03:00.600 ratpox, aka monkeypox, has become the disease du jour as the media attempts to stoke panic over the fact

00:03:06.900 that a few dozen people in the world have been diagnosed with it in the last few days,

00:03:10.260 and potentially as many as three, three, dear God, in the United States have been diagnosed

00:03:16.240 with the disease or potentially have the disease. If you're wondering whether you have monkeypox

00:03:21.140 right now, you should know that it first presents with flu-like symptoms, which is also how you know

00:03:25.940 how COVID presents. So if you have a cough right now or a runny nose, just relax. It's probably not

00:03:32.380 monkeypox. It's probably just COVID or, you know, any of the diseases of any of the dozens of other

00:03:37.800 illnesses that cause these exact symptoms. It could be any of those. After about a week,

00:03:41.780 the monkeypox victim will break out into rashes and lesions. And that's when, I think when that

00:03:48.240 happens, like if you've had the cough for a week and then you have the lesions, then you can have 0.80

00:03:51.780 your official, oh crap, this might be monkeypox moment. The good news is that the disease is not

00:03:57.160 easily transmitted, which is why there was a, quote, outbreak in this country in 2003, and only 70

00:04:03.840 people were infected. Nobody died. Now the media is telling us that the disease has a 10% mortality

00:04:09.760 rate, which means that there should have been several deaths during the last outbreak. But what

00:04:14.680 they forget to mention is that the mortality rate is based mostly on cases in Africa where people die

00:04:19.540 of all kinds of diseases that kill almost nobody in the developed world. You may be wondering why you

00:04:25.660 never heard of the great monkeypox outbreak of 2003. Probably because that was before social media

00:04:31.940 and also before the news media decided that every scary sounding viral infection contracted by anyone

00:04:39.000 anywhere in the world needs to be headline news. But does the fact that this virus is not very

00:04:47.300 contagious and is not widely spread and is not nearly as lethal as they're making it sound,

00:04:53.740 does that all mean that we should just ignore monkeypox and go about our lives? I mean, yes,

00:04:58.940 it does mean that. That's actually basically what it means. Over the weekend, Joe Biden told Americans

00:05:03.180 that they should be concerned about monkeypox. And that's this administration's only sales pitch,

00:05:09.400 their only message about anything. They're just constantly telling us new things to be terrified

00:05:14.500 of. Monkeypox, COVID, white supremacists, climate change, the great MAGA king, Donald Trump,

00:05:19.580 et cetera, and so forth. Biden promised us a winter of death last winter because of COVID,

00:05:25.640 COVID, which went into our spring of sorrow. And now we'll have our summer of suffering to be

00:05:31.980 followed by the fall of fear. And this is all they want. They just want you to be twisting around

00:05:37.160 endlessly in a spiral of fear. And you should not give them what they want. And yet, there is still

00:05:47.380 something worth noticing, maybe, not about monkeypox itself, but about the monkeypox discourse,

00:05:54.420 we'll call it. One of the reasons why, in fact, I'm not personally worried about this virus is that

00:06:01.960 for this round of it anyway, it appears to be primarily spread through sexual contact.

00:06:09.140 As the Sydney Morning Herald reports in their headlines, sexual form of monkeypox blamed for

00:06:14.480 global spread of virus. I'm not personally worried about any STDs at all because I'm in a faithful and

00:06:21.360 loving marriage with my wife. So score another point for faithful and loving marriages. That's

00:06:26.520 not like the number one reason to get married, but it's a nice perk. All these diseases people are 0.99

00:06:32.160 worried about, you don't have to worry about it. You're fine. This one in particular falls outside

00:06:37.900 of my own lived experience because it seems to be primarily infecting gay men. The World Health 1.00

00:06:43.560 Organization said as much in a statement on the virus. They said, based on currently available

00:06:48.180 information, cases have mainly but not exclusively been identified amongst men who have sex with

00:06:53.560 men. MSM is what they're calling them, which is also the acronym for mainstream media. So do with that

00:07:01.240 what you will. With men having sex with men seeking care and primary care and sexual health clinics. 0.97

00:07:06.820 That's from the World Health Organization. Health officials have determined that the likely super

00:07:11.700 spreader event in this case was a gay pride festival in Spain earlier in the month. And the gay news 0.89

00:07:17.600 site Pink News describes the gay pride event as actually a fetish festival. That's how they 0.50

00:07:22.580 describe it. The article also notes that more cases are linked to a gay bathhouse in Spain or a sauna as

00:07:29.620 it's euphemistically dubbed. So there's still plenty that's not known about this current outbreak,

00:07:35.520 if we can call it an outbreak. But the link to gay sexual activity has been established well enough 1.00

00:07:41.840 that organizations like WHO are reporting it. In fact, as GB News reports this morning,

00:07:46.580 gay men in the UK may be offered a monkeypox vaccine first in a, quote, targeted rollout 0.95

00:07:52.620 because of this connection that people are noticing. Apparently nine Brits have been diagnosed so far

00:07:58.120 and all but three of them are gay. And this is certainly not the first time that viruses and 0.90

00:08:04.700 other diseases have circulated through fetish festivals and bathhouses. A bathhouse is, after all,

00:08:11.400 essentially a petri dish for disease. I mean, there really isn't any healthy or safe way to have sex

00:08:18.200 with random strangers, as the STD epidemic in the U.S. clearly attests. Now, the good news

00:08:25.180 is that there is a simple solution here, which would tamp down the monkeypox situation and also have the

00:08:32.220 immense added benefit of preventing the spread of all kinds of other diseases, many of them much worse

00:08:36.520 than monkeypox. And that is to refrain from having sex with strangers at a bathhouse or anywhere else

00:08:45.060 and to forego trips to fetish festivals or any other event where, you know, large groups of 0.50

00:08:51.180 naked or semi-naked people are swapping bodily fluids. Again, it would be best to avoid this kind

00:08:57.320 of behavior in general, even if monkeypox didn't exist. So you would think that our public health

00:09:05.000 authorities, especially because they're so apparently worried about monkeypox, you'd think

00:09:10.200 they would spread this message far and wide. They would say, you know, don't, don't do these kinds

00:09:14.640 of things. Don't participate in these kinds of activities. But they're not. Instead, rather than

00:09:20.540 recommending that people make healthy choices to avoid spreading disease, our so-called public health

00:09:25.580 authorities are more concerned with the spread of stigma in this case. It's stigma. Stigma is the real

00:09:32.180 disease. So the Joint United Nations Program on HIV and AIDS has been releasing statements decrying the

00:09:38.920 stigmatizing language related to monkeypox. And they're worried about reporting that might, quote,

00:09:44.320 reinforce homophobic and racist stereotypes and exacerbate stigma. Andrew Lee, professor of public

00:09:51.160 health at the University of Sheffield, just published an article cautioning against germ panic,

00:09:55.320 okay, cautioning against germ panic, as he calls it, and warning that the real risk faced by gay men

00:10:02.960 is unfair stigma. Then there's a professor who researches epidemiology at Yale, Greg Gonzalez,

00:10:10.540 and he was more explicit in his messaging. He posted a lengthy thread to Twitter saying,

00:10:16.300 and I'm going to read it here. He says, I'm not an expert on the pathogen, but right now,

00:10:21.880 many of the cases are in gay men, and I know something about infectious diseases among men who 0.94

00:10:26.340 have sex with men. First, it is not a gay disease. If you are saying it is, you are perpetuating stigma 0.99

00:10:32.940 and ignorance, damaging the public health response to this and endangering lives. The disease spreads by

00:10:38.120 close physical contact, and this is the setting in which most cases have been found in this global set

00:10:42.940 of outbreaks, most likely disseminated via large social events. The answer isn't shut down all

00:10:50.340 these parties, tell gay men to stop having sex at them, or dancing in close proximity to each other. 0.99

00:10:56.080 It won't work. It hasn't worked for HIV or other kinds of infectious disease outbreaks among gay men. 0.97

00:11:02.220 Ah, okay. Now, it should come as no surprise that Greg here was an outspoken advocate of COVID lockdowns

00:11:13.500 and highly critical of anybody who protested them. So, according to Greg and many of his fellow public

00:11:21.800 health experts, it would be onerous and unfair and unrealistic and oppressive and stigmatizing 0.63

00:11:28.000 to tell gay men to refrain from having orgies at fetish festivals and bathhouses in order to avoid 0.98

00:11:33.520 monkeypox and other diseases. Yet, it was perfectly reasonable to tell the entire world to shut down 0.99

00:11:42.060 and to lock our kids in our homes for a year and to drastically alter every aspect of our lives

00:11:48.720 for years in order to avoid COVID. Kids were never at any serious risk from COVID, nor were they ever

00:11:56.420 very likely to transmit it, and we always knew that. And yet, we were told that it was good and necessary

00:12:02.040 to put their lives on hold for this disease, like for our sake. But for gay men, we can't even tell 1.00

00:12:09.960 them to put their fetish festivals on hold? It appears the only way to shut down the fetish festival 0.94

00:12:15.880 is to shut down everything else in the world along with it. It's the only way you're doing it.

00:12:20.700 And even then, as we've seen, that still isn't necessarily enough to cancel events that protected

00:12:27.020 classes of people want to attend, which is why, as we know, the BLM riots were happening with the

00:12:32.980 approval of all the public health experts at the height of COVID. So, really think about this for a

00:12:41.100 second. Close the schools, don't close the bathhouses. That's the motto here. And I can think 1.00

00:12:51.760 of no better summary of our approach to public health and everything else in society. Now, let's

00:12:59.780 get to our five headlines. Many of us spend more time every day in our office chairs than in our cars

00:13:10.320 or our beds, unfortunately, but you got to make the best of it. That's why it's so important to

00:13:14.160 invest in the right chair to spend those hours with the right level of support and comfort to get the

00:13:18.340 most productivity out of your day. X-chair is what you need. It's made my time at my desk not only

00:13:23.300 more productive, but it's honestly my favorite place to sit for any reason. Sounds kind of sad, but

00:13:29.020 okay. Not only does X-chair's patented dynamic variable lumbar offer the ultimate customized support,

00:13:34.780 but my X-chair can even give me a massage. It can heat up or cool down. And now, thanks to X-chair's

00:13:39.700 new armrests. I can even adjust my armrest to the perfect position. All these unique X-chair

00:13:44.240 features help the hours at my desk fly by in complete comfort. That's why I love my X-chair.

00:14:07.520 this from the Daily Wire. Here's some good news, a little bit of good news here. Daily Wire says,

00:14:13.200 the Archbishop of San Francisco has informed Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi that she is not

00:14:18.260 to receive Holy Communion at Mass over her repeated support of abortion. He says in a statement,

00:14:24.400 in light of my responsibility as the Archbishop of San Francisco, I am hereby notifying you that

00:14:27.960 you are not to present yourself for Holy Communion, and should you do so, you are not to be admitted to

00:14:33.160 Holy Communion until such time as you publicly repudiate your advocacy for the legitimacy of abortion,

00:14:37.520 and confess and receive absolution of this grave sin in the sacrament of penance.

00:14:44.200 Pelosi still, as far as I know, has not, she didn't respond to the Daily Wire with a comment,

00:14:48.120 obviously, but I don't think she's spoken about this publicly at all, because it puts her in a

00:14:55.080 very difficult position, thankfully. And it's not that the Archbishop put her in a difficult position,

00:15:01.000 she's put herself in this position by at once claiming she's a devout Catholic,

00:15:05.480 but then also supporting abortion. So she's been in this position for decades,

00:15:12.760 and it just took someone in the church in a position of authority to call her out on it,

00:15:17.500 and finally somebody has. Continuing with the statement says,

00:15:23.280 this fundamental moral truth has consequences, the fundamental truth about the dignity of life in the

00:15:27.800 womb, this fundamental moral truth has consequences for Catholics and how they say they live their lives,

00:15:32.600 especially those entrusted with promoting and protecting the public good of society.

00:15:36.200 Pope St. John Paul II was also quite consistent in upholding this constant teaching of the church,

00:15:41.800 and frequently reminded us that those who are directly involved in lawmaking bodies have a grave

00:15:46.820 and clear obligation to oppose any law that attacks human life. And the full statement, it goes on

00:15:54.160 longer than that, and it's worth going and looking up and reading it, because it's eloquently stated,

00:15:59.960 and it also states what the Catholic position is here. And it's an example of courage,

00:16:09.360 actual courage on the part of church leadership in the United States.

00:16:16.420 And there has not been a whole lot of that in recent decades. So when you get an example of it,

00:16:21.500 it's worth celebrating. Even if there's also, it's kind of a bittersweet celebration,

00:16:26.720 because one of the reasons you're celebrating is that this is so rare.

00:16:31.140 Like, Nancy Pelosi should have been publicly told years ago that she can't receive communion, 0.86

00:16:36.280 and this should be every bishop in every diocese should be saying this

00:16:41.140 to anyone in a public position who supports abortion.

00:16:47.900 But of course, the media, they're not happy about this. There's an article in the San Francisco

00:16:55.640 Examiner, which this is the argument they're putting forward. They're saying,

00:16:59.920 in open defiance of Pope Francis, San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordigliani on Friday banned

00:17:07.500 House Speaker Nancy Pelosi from taking Holy Communion here in her home diocese, the reason,

00:17:11.180 her strong support of women's abortion rights. His decree was guaranteed to provoke deep chagrin

00:17:15.880 among San Francisco Catholics and non-Catholics alike. And then the article goes on to claim

00:17:22.220 that this is in contradiction of Pope Francis. Another thing we're hearing from the media a lot,

00:17:28.580 actually, is that the Archbishop in San Francisco is contradicting, is rebelling against Pope Francis,

00:17:35.460 because Pope Francis has said, allegedly, that pro-abortion politicians should be able to receive

00:17:40.540 the Eucharist. And that's not true at all. That's actually not what Pope Francis has said.

00:17:45.760 And if he had said that, I'd be willing to admit it and call him out for it and denounce it,

00:17:49.600 because Pope Francis has unfortunately said a lot of things that he shouldn't say and are not

00:17:53.700 consistent with Catholic teaching, but that's not one of them. And also, it's funny to me when you

00:17:59.280 see these leftists, many of whom are not Catholic, pretending to care about the hierarchy in the church,

00:18:05.060 pretending to be offended that an Archbishop allegedly is contradicting Pope Francis.

00:18:11.940 This is not the hierarchy. You should respect the Pope. Since when do you care about that?

00:18:15.800 And by the way, if you do care about the hierarchical structure of the church and who has

00:18:20.860 power to make what declarations, well, the Archbishop has the authority to do this.

00:18:27.300 And so if you care so deeply about the hierarchy of the church,

00:18:30.240 then what you should be saying to Nancy Pelosi is you should respect this because your Archbishop has

00:18:34.880 said it. I also think it's funny in this article when they say it's provoked deep chagrin among

00:18:42.240 Catholics and non-Catholics alike. First of all, let me say, if you're not a Catholic, 0.64

00:18:48.040 your opinion about this is completely irrelevant. And the reason why it's irrelevant is because

00:18:55.840 this is about the Catholic faith, the doctrines of the Catholic church.

00:19:04.720 And a lot of this rests on, of course, the moral doctrines of the Catholic church,

00:19:08.640 which are very clear on abortion and have always been. Like there's no debate about this. There

00:19:16.080 never has been any debate about it. It is a moral teaching of the church that human life begins in

00:19:24.600 the womb, that human life in the womb has intrinsic value and dignity. And to kill that life is a deep,

00:19:33.040 grave, moral crime. Okay. So this is why it doesn't even make any sense to be a pro-abortion Catholic, 0.61

00:19:41.380 because the only way to be a pro-abortion Catholic is to reject the moral authority of the church.

00:19:46.620 There's no other way to do it. You can't cling on to your support for abortion while also clinging to

00:19:55.840 the moral authority of the church. It's one or the other. These are mutually exclusive things here.

00:20:01.480 And if you believe that the church doesn't have moral authority, well, fine, you're allowed to

00:20:07.100 believe that, given that we don't actually live in a Catholic theocracy, even if it were otherwise,

00:20:15.460 if I had to say it, but I don't, because my theocratic regime has not yet taken over.

00:20:21.760 So we're not living in a theocracy. So you can have that opinion that the church doesn't have

00:20:24.740 any moral authority, but then you can't be Catholic. Say, I'm a Catholic, but I don't believe that the

00:20:30.320 church has any moral authority. So it was not instituted by Christ then, we must assume,

00:20:37.280 or it was, but you don't think that Jesus Christ has moral authority. Like, how does this work? It's

00:20:41.300 incoherent. So you give up the idea that the church has moral authority. You're giving up on the church,

00:20:48.700 which again, you're allowed to do in America, but then don't go around claiming you're Catholic.

00:20:52.380 It doesn't make any sense. Aside from the scandal and everything, the moral scandal involved in

00:20:59.060 everything else is also just, it's illogically incoherent. And this is also why the opinion

00:21:04.560 of non-Catholics about who receives communion is completely irrelevant, because the issue comes

00:21:09.560 down to the moral teachings of the church, and also the doctrine of the real presence in the

00:21:15.200 Eucharist. That Christ is really present in the Eucharist, and it's not a, that this is not a sort of

00:21:21.460 symbolic gesture as they believe in many Protestant churches. So if you don't believe in either of those

00:21:27.940 things, the real presence in the Eucharist or the moral authority of the church, then obviously

00:21:31.520 you're not going to care who takes communion. And as far as you're concerned, anybody should be able

00:21:36.620 to take it, because you don't share those beliefs. That's why this is a Catholic issue.

00:21:45.080 And if you are Catholic, again, it does not make any sense 1.00

00:21:49.580 to support abortion as a Catholic or to say that pro-abortion politicians should be able to receive

00:21:59.080 the Eucharist. And the reason why you do this is because you want the Catholic church and the

00:22:06.520 Catholic faith to work like you want everything else in life to work. You want it all to be sort of 0.99

00:22:11.780 your plaything and everything to be relative to your own desires and feelings. You don't really

00:22:20.140 want to be a Catholic. You want to have your, you've created your own religion, your religion of the 0.64

00:22:25.140 self for yourself as a leftist. And, but you want to put a little bit of Catholic dressing over top of

00:22:30.240 it. It's like you want to take the priestly robes and just kind of drape them over top your

00:22:36.320 self-worshipping religion. Moving on, AOC also had some thoughts on abortion that she shared

00:22:43.560 and not much more coherent than Nancy Pelosi's thoughts on the subject, but let's listen to that.

00:22:48.860 For people who say, oh, but you're, you know, you're, you're harming a life. I believe this is life.

00:22:57.300 Well, some religions don't. So how about that? Our Jewish brothers and sisters, they are able to have

00:23:05.280 an abortion according to their faith. You know, there are so many faiths that do not have the

00:23:12.620 same definition of life as fundamentalist Christians. And so we, how, what about their rights?

00:23:22.400 What about their right to exercise their faith? It's ridiculous. And it is, it's, it is theocratic. 0.97

00:23:30.580 It's authoritarian. It is wrong.

00:23:36.220 Once again, what's the rule here that we've talked about is when religion is introduced to

00:23:42.500 the topic of abortion, it's almost always a leftist introducing because that's what they

00:23:48.240 want this to be. They want, they actually want this to be a religious conversation.

00:23:51.760 And so her rebuttal to the claim that, that, that human life exists in the womb, her rebuttal

00:24:01.840 is, well, other religions feel differently, which first of all, who cares? Got nothing to 0.99

00:24:08.920 do with anything. You're the one trying to make this religious because you don't want to 0.90

00:24:13.140 have this argument on any other grounds. You want to make it totally sort of act like it's

00:24:17.740 completely subjective and it's all based on, you know, you want to make it all doctrinal,

00:24:21.860 right? You want to make it nothing but doctrinal. Like we all have our competing doctrines and

00:24:26.540 nobody really knows what's going on. There's no, there's no self-evident demonstrable reality

00:24:33.860 at the center of it. That's how you want to, that's what you want to pretend, but there is

00:24:38.600 because at the center of this discussion, there is an actual being in the womb that like exists.

00:24:46.020 And so we can look there and say, well, what, well, what is that?

00:24:51.920 And the, what is that? And what you find is that when you're actually having the, what

00:24:54.620 is that conversation? It, it's not religious at all. There's no reason why it's religious.

00:25:01.680 It's actually a scientific, it's first and foremost, number one, actually a scientific

00:25:05.780 question. When you have a, a, a living being and we want to know, well, what, what, what

00:25:14.020 is that? That's, that's first and foremost, a scientific question.

00:25:19.920 And we know that it's a human because it has human parents.

00:25:24.200 And we know that it's living because it's growing and developing.

00:25:30.520 Non-living things don't do that.

00:25:31.860 You know, a non-living inanimate object isn't, you could have this table here, right? And you

00:25:39.540 could just let the table sit, let it sit for hundreds of years and it'll decay. It'll fall

00:25:43.720 apart. It's not going to ever become anything that we would all recognize as a living thing.

00:25:51.640 You could even take it and chop it up and build it into something else. And it's still not going to

00:25:54.960 be a living thing. Um, so she wants to make it a, a religious conversation first of all. And then

00:26:02.700 she also, of course, misrepresents other religions. She just declares that, well, Jewish people all

00:26:08.820 support abortion. I don't know. You maybe check by, maybe ask that'll come as news to Ben Shapiro

00:26:16.820 because I know he doesn't support abortion as an Orthodox Jew. That's a, that's, that'll be 0.99

00:26:22.040 interesting news for him to learn from AOC, who's not Jewish. Do you know that this is what your 0.92

00:26:29.840 religion teaches? This is what non-religious people do. They do it to, they do it to Jews. 1.00

00:26:34.400 They do it to Catholics all the time. We just, we just heard it in that, uh, San Francisco Examiner

00:26:39.560 article. They're constantly telling us what we believe, even though they have no frame of reference,

00:26:46.980 they have no clue at all. All right. Uh, but we should say actually, uh, congratulations anyway

00:26:54.560 to AOC because she did just get engaged. I would be, uh, remiss if I didn't mention she did get,

00:26:59.640 she got engaged to her longtime boyfriend and, uh, she, uh, was bragging about the fact that she has a

00:27:04.240 zero emissions diamond that was given to her as her engagement ring because that's important to her.

00:27:10.380 And you know, she probably did ask that, like whatever the scenario was when, uh, Riley,

00:27:17.400 her boyfriend, I think that's his name, proposed, pulls the ring out before she even said yes. I

00:27:23.060 could totally imagine the first thing she asked, is that zero emissions? And then he said, uh, yeah.

00:27:30.880 Well, well then I, then yes, let's get married. Uh, and he, and, and, but his answer saying it's

00:27:35.800 zero emissions, of course, that doesn't mean anything because how can you have a zero emissions

00:27:40.960 diamond? What does that even mean? I assume what you're trying to say is that it was made like in a,

00:27:47.160 you know, it was manufactured like in a laboratory. They didn't dig it out of a, out of a mine.

00:27:52.080 And so you're saying it's, well, there's zero emissions. So you're saying that it was,

00:27:55.240 it was manufactured in a way that produces no emissions. It doesn't make any sense at all.

00:28:00.600 That's, I could tell you right now that's impossible. Okay. You cannot manufacture

00:28:06.260 anything in a way that doesn't produce emissions. Impossible. Anyway. All right. Uh, last week we

00:28:13.840 played some clips first shared and reported by Chris Ruffeau of a training session from the far

00:28:18.920 left LGBT extremist group, the Mazzoni Center. And if you remember, this was a conference attended by

00:28:23.840 Philadelphia teachers and also by kids and minors were attended, invited to attend this conference as

00:28:30.420 well. And there was a lot of depraved stuff. We don't have to go through all of it, but you can

00:28:35.300 go back and watch that show if you want to, some examples. Um, they had all kinds of, you know,

00:28:39.980 they had people presenting information about, uh, you know, sex toys and everything else like to

00:28:46.500 teachers for some reason. And now we have more footage. Um, this is from Rachel Simon. She's the

00:28:53.020 woman in the video. She's a trans affirming quote unquote psychoanalyst. And I want you to listen to

00:28:58.380 what she says. Listen, I am Rachel Simon. I use she, her pronouns. I am a psychotherapist,

00:29:07.060 educator, consultant, and author. Um, I run my private practice here in Philadelphia and I am

00:29:14.080 the author of the every body book, which is a, an LGBTQ inclusive, um, sex ed resource for seven to 12

00:29:22.900 year olds. I love that you said that this, this talk specifically was geared towards teens, but

00:29:28.660 you're so right that sexuality education starts the minute you're born. I mean, we have, we're born

00:29:34.220 with bodies. These bodies are cool. We want to touch our bodies. We're learning about, um, privacy and,

00:29:40.680 you know, being sexual and public from a very early age. Drop the cons of talking about sexuality with

00:29:47.280 parents and getting our sexual info from parents in the chat. Um, because we're getting some of that

00:29:53.500 embarrassment, awkwardness, those can be cons. They don't want to talk about it. Uh, homophobic and

00:30:01.920 transphobic ideas from parents can absolutely be a problem inescapable judgment. Yeah. Bigoted,

00:30:10.420 misinformed parents who have no idea how to talk about gay sex. They're biased if they are religious. 1.00

00:30:17.520 It can be very difficult to get into the conversation with them. Yeah. Sometimes you can

00:30:22.860 get stonewalled out of information. So psychotherapist there. Sorry, sorry. I misgendered her as a 1.00

00:30:30.240 psychoanalyst. She's a psychotherapist. And, uh, what's her message? Well, I don't bother talking to

00:30:34.640 your parents. You know, they're religious and bigoted. Don't, don't, don't bother talking to them. 0.59

00:30:39.460 Uh, but sexuality education begins at birth, she says.

00:30:47.280 Now I have to keep banging this drum here because it's important to point out where this stuff comes

00:30:52.540 from. And that is, and all of the sex ed stuff comes from Alfred Kinsey originally. And that is

00:30:58.580 Alfred Kinsey to a T that children are sexual from birth, literally from infancy. And as you're

00:31:07.600 familiar with, if you listen to the show, uh, and we've talked about before some of the horrific

00:31:11.320 details around that perverts life, uh, he, he actually tried to prove through sexual experiments

00:31:20.340 on, on young babies that babies are quote, sexual from birth. Um, and, uh, so sexual from birth,

00:31:28.960 we're going to do sexuality education for infants now, I guess. See, we're, we're all, we're, we're

00:31:37.120 behind the eight ball because we're sitting here saying, what do you mean? Sex education in

00:31:42.540 kindergarten? This is ridiculous. That's way too young. But what the left is saying is that, no, 1.00

00:31:47.120 that's too late. We talk about too young. If anything, like by kindergarten, they're five years

00:31:51.740 old. That's, that's, that's five prime years of sexualizing that they've missed out on. They're 0.96

00:31:58.360 telling us. And then she also says, she gets more and more disturbingly specific. She says that, uh,

00:32:06.820 from a very young age, we're learning about being sexual in public. That's what, what are you talking

00:32:14.560 about? But of course, nobody, these people that are always running unopposed as it were, and you're

00:32:21.120 only ever going to hear them talking into a camera on a, in a conference like this or on stage in 0.92

00:32:27.220 front of like-minded, a like-minded audience of degenerates and perverts. Um, they're never going 0.83

00:32:32.600 to put themselves in a position where there's going to be any follow-up questions. So they could just say

00:32:37.640 stuff like this and no, because if there was a follow-up question, then the follow-up would be what,

00:32:41.020 no, no, back up a second. Little kids being sexual in public. What the hell are you saying?

00:32:46.580 Explain that to me. Is that what you think? When you see kids out in public, that's what you think 0.78

00:32:53.160 they're doing? Go ahead, explain. And we know whatever the explanation is, it's not going to,

00:33:02.400 there's, there's, there's no way to make that any less depraved. And this again is, uh, this was a

00:33:09.680 training session, at least in part for teachers. This is what teachers are being told. All right.

00:33:18.760 The Daily Mail has this. The man who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage at a Los Angeles comedy show

00:33:23.320 earlier this month said he was triggered by the comedian's jokes about gay people and also about

00:33:29.200 homelessness. Uh, and he told Chappelle he should be more sensitive. Isaiah Lee was charged with four

00:33:35.620 misdemeanors after the May 3rd attack. Misdemeanors. Okay. Battery, possession of a weapon with intent to

00:33:41.520 assault, unauthorized access to stage area during a live performance and commission of an act that

00:33:45.720 delays the event or interferes with the performer. So battery and possession of a weapon with intent

00:33:51.100 to assault. That's the word. So those are good misdemeanors for this, for this guy. Um, he was

00:33:56.420 contacted by the New York post and he said that, uh, that he's, this is what he said. He said, quote,

00:34:00.700 I identify as bisexual and I wanted him to know what he said was triggering. I wanted him to know

00:34:06.840 that next time he should consider first running his material by people it could affect. Okay. So a

00:34:13.760 couple of things here. Now we, now we understand, um, why this guy got off with a misdemeanor when he

00:34:19.720 charged on stage during an event, assaulted somebody with a knife, with a knife that oddly enough he had

00:34:28.500 disguised as a gun. So we've already tried to figure that out. I don't know exactly how that,

00:34:32.560 that works. You know, um, he's like, you don't want security to know you have a knife. So instead

00:34:37.300 you just pretend you have a gun. I don't know, but he got through security anyway. And, uh, he was

00:34:42.320 charged with a misdemeanor and now we know why, because he's a member of a member of a protected

00:34:45.680 class. So he's a member of, you know, the group that even during a virus outbreak, you can't tell

00:34:53.120 him to not go to a, you know, a fetish festival or a bathhouse. Um, so that's, that's the first

00:34:59.400 thing. That's why, that's why that happened. Cause he's a member of the protected class.

00:35:03.100 And this is also more confirmation that all of this, you know, these attacks against Dave Chappelle

00:35:10.580 and in particular, it's not just like the criticizing Dave Chappelle leads to people trying to kill him

00:35:17.400 on stage. That's not the point that you could, you could criticize somebody without provoking anyone

00:35:22.360 else to attack them. But when you're claiming relentlessly that Dave, that words are violence

00:35:30.520 and that, and that just by saying words, Dave Chappelle could be hurting and potentially killing

00:35:36.360 people because that's what they say. Just with Dave Chappelle's jokes about trans people,

00:35:42.340 all of which are, are mild. Okay. Um, but those jokes could lead to death. It could be killing people.

00:35:49.660 So when you, when you say that enough about somebody, uh, then yeah. And then at the same,

00:35:58.900 and also you, you, you have these protected privileged classes of people who could basically

00:36:02.840 do whatever they want. Um, especially if they're acting out emotionally and they feel quote unquote

00:36:07.320 triggered, you put all that together, then you're creating, you know, that's, that's the recipe

00:36:13.180 for something like this. And of course the last little, uh, ingredient in the recipe is

00:36:22.520 Will Smith charging the stage and assaulting someone during the Oscars. And then a lot of

00:36:27.280 people on the left were making excuses for him and saying that at least, well, it's a, it's not

00:36:35.100 good, but it's not any worse than making a GI Jane joke about a bald woman. 0.98

00:36:38.840 So you add all those things together and, uh, this is what happens. Now it's interesting that the

00:36:46.120 assailant here says that he, he, the reason he did it is he wants Dave Chappelle to be too afraid

00:36:54.860 next time to make jokes like this. So that's also terrorism, by the way, trying to use fear to

00:36:59.760 manipulate people using fear to bring about a certain political or ideological end. That's,

00:37:04.620 that's terrorism. So this should be, he should be brought up, not on a misdemeanor, but on

00:37:08.520 terrorism charges. Like if you really cared about, about stopping this from happening in the future,

00:37:11.900 that's what you would do. But they don't want to stop this from happening in the future. They

00:37:16.960 agree with him. That's, that is the message to Dave Chappelle from his assailant and from the media

00:37:23.460 and the left as well. Oh, you didn't, you didn't like getting assaulted by a guy with a knife in the

00:37:28.120 middle of a performance. Well, just don't make jokes about us. That's all make jokes about

00:37:34.280 everybody else, but just not us because we're special. Finally, this is from the Jerusalem

00:37:39.340 Post. It says a scientist may have pinpointed the origin of the wow signal, the most famous alien

00:37:44.980 radio broadcast in history, making it an ideal candidate for future research and observations

00:37:49.800 in the search for extraterrestrial, terrestrial intelligence. The study, which was, um, polished in

00:37:55.680 the, I assume that's supposed to say published, was published in the peer review academic periodical,

00:38:01.040 the international journal of astrobiology suggests that the famous signal could very well have come

00:38:05.480 from a star located in the Sagittarius constellation that is similar to our own. Um, the wow signal is

00:38:11.360 easily the most famous and enduring extraterrestrial radio transmission to earth in history. This day,

00:38:15.660 it's the strongest candidate for a genuine radio transmission from an intelligent source.

00:38:19.340 The signal itself, and you know what? Nevermind because you guys don't care about this, do you?

00:38:25.020 Like I'm just sitting here reading this. Nobody cares. Nobody cares about the space and alien stuff.

00:38:30.800 It's just me. Why do I even bother? I'm going to go cry. I'm going to go lock myself in the bathroom

00:38:37.260 now and cry after the show, because we've got to get to our comment section right now.

00:38:52.720 Marley says, my brother's biology teacher is refusing to say male or female and instead describes

00:38:57.840 the body parts one has. My brother watches your show and emailed and spoke to the teacher about

00:39:02.740 how wrong it was. Thank you for being such a great role model. Well, thank you to your brother

00:39:07.700 because this is, it's really sad to put it, you know, lightly that, um, kids in school have to be

00:39:16.280 put in this position where they have to correct their biology teachers on basic human biology,

00:39:20.320 but that's exactly what needs to happen. And so, um, it's good that your, your brother did that.

00:39:26.600 And, uh, hopefully your parents are encouraging it. Cause I can tell you, even when I went to school,

00:39:29.780 going to public school and this was, this was, you know, public schools were bastions of sanity,

00:39:35.560 uh, when I went compared to now anyway, but even back then they were bad by their own standards.

00:39:41.780 And this is one thing that my parents used to tell me is like, respect your teachers. Okay.

00:39:46.940 Respect your elders. But if you're being lied to and they're saying things that are, that are not true

00:39:54.960 and they're lying to you, then you should speak up. And if you get in trouble at home, you will,

00:39:59.840 you know, if you get in trouble at school, you will not be in trouble at home for that.

00:40:03.880 So that's great from your brother. Donald says the Musk accusation isn't a she said,

00:40:09.820 she said situation. It's a, they said, she said, she said, she said. Yeah, you're right. Actually.

00:40:15.000 Well, it's, so it's, it's, we're being told by the media that they were told by a woman who was told

00:40:26.000 by another woman who claims that she was sexually harassed by Elon Musk. So yeah, there's like four

00:40:31.840 or five degrees of separation there. Um, Aaron says, Matt, I'm new to your show this week and finding

00:40:40.400 your logic and insight refreshing. I also recognize that the subject you dive into are extremely dark and

00:40:44.800 troubling to say the least without intending to sound cliche or silly. I will, I will purpose to

00:40:49.020 pray for your strength and peace. Thanks for your boldness to fight and inspiring others to take a

00:40:52.520 stand as we're intended to do. Well, I appreciate your prayers. I don't complain about it. I don't

00:40:56.020 mention this too much because I like, I don't, it's, it's, I don't want it to come off as overly

00:40:59.420 dramatic and without being traumatized, you know? Um, but in my own small little way, being totally

00:41:06.120 immersed in this kind of stuff every day does take a little bit of a toll on you. So I appreciate your

00:41:10.780 prayers and, you know, especially because I try to, I want to break up all of the deep, dark, depressing

00:41:17.540 stuff by talking about space and aliens, but I can't even do that because I get made fun of. So

00:41:23.280 that just makes the trauma even worse. Um, Samantha says, absolute fun sponges. Karen gene pair makes me 0.95

00:41:30.980 laugh out loud every time I hear it. Well, thank you, Smith. So you and I at least can have fun with that.

00:41:35.700 Um, and, uh, let's see. And finally, Tony says, can't help but notice Matt has gone quiet about

00:41:43.740 his interpretive dance promise. The numbers are almost there. I have a feeling after June 1st,

00:41:48.220 it will reach 1 million. I don't know what promise you're talking about. I don't remember. I've

00:41:53.620 because I had COVID. So that's, uh, it supposedly affects your memory, right? That's what it's all go

00:42:00.080 with that. I have long COVID. So I can't remember anything that I said prior to right now. So

00:42:06.580 unfortunately, if you follow the daily wire for any amount of time, you know, that we're fixated

00:42:11.360 on the truth, whether it's our journalists exposing the coverup of a sexual assault in

00:42:15.040 Virginia schools or hosts like myself, just trying to get a straight answer to a simple question.

00:42:18.300 Like what is a woman as I do in my documentary of that name out on June 1st. Well, over the last few

00:42:22.740 months, our very own Candace Owens has been digging into the $90 million bag of abject lies. That is 1.00

00:42:28.540 Black Lives Matter. And she's come up with her hands full. I can tell you that her daily wire 0.99

00:42:32.600 original, the greatest lie ever told George Floyd and the rise of BLM is on its way. And it's going

00:42:37.300 to be pure kryptonite. We had planned to release it this week, but as you can imagine, when you start

00:42:41.840 a documentary, you never fully know where the facts will lead. What Candace has uncovered on this

00:42:46.440 journey is going to blow some people's minds. So we're going to take some time to finalize the film

00:42:50.360 and make sure every last damning detail sees the light of day. Believe me, it'll be worth the wait.

00:42:56.140 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:58.540 Today, we have another case of a daily cancellation inception, where we respond to somebody responding

00:43:07.500 to me. In this case, it's Jamie Raines, who Wikipedia tells me is an English YouTuber with

00:43:12.620 over 900,000 subscribers, a research psychologist and LGBT advocate. Raines has a PhD in psychology

00:43:18.920 and has disturbingly, quote, conducted research into the sexual response of transgender men.

00:43:24.120 Raines is also a self-professed, quote-unquote, trans man. There have been many YouTube responses

00:43:30.860 to the trailer for my film, What is a Woman? Also many responses on other platforms, including on

00:43:35.540 Twitter, where the primary response from the left on Twitter has been to mass report it and try,

00:43:40.020 so far unsuccessfully, to get it pulled from the site. So I'm getting these email notifications about

00:43:45.040 reports, people reporting the trailer, you know, multiple times a day. But I'm choosing Raines to

00:43:51.320 respond to because this is a channel with more subscribers than I have and somebody with much

00:43:57.460 more formal education than I have. So nobody can accuse me of punching down. Not that there's

00:44:02.240 anything wrong with punching down, mind you. I'm a firm believer that one should punch in whichever

00:44:07.040 direction needs to be punched. But we'll focus here for now. The video is over 10 minutes long,

00:44:13.260 so we won't be able to pick it apart piece by piece. But we'll watch enough to get the point.

00:44:16.520 Surely, I mean, this PhD psychologist and LGBT activist will be able to swiftly debunk the 1.00

00:44:21.760 entire premise of my film and utterly humiliate me in the process. I'm just a transphobe with a

00:44:27.320 high school diploma after all. Shouldn't be much of a challenge. So we'll see how our friend Jamie

00:44:32.540 Raines does. It's called What is a Woman? from the Daily Wire, which I think I've heard of,

00:44:39.360 made by somebody or involving heavily somebody called Matt Walsh.

00:44:43.360 What is a woman? Immediately, is he wearing a sandwich board that says, 0.80

00:44:50.420 what is a woman? Okay. Can you tell me that?

00:44:56.480 Well, you're at the Women's March. You must have some idea. Please, if one person could tell me

00:45:00.020 what a woman is. You are not here for women. We ask you to leave. What is that? What is that? Oh, 1.00

00:45:06.120 wow. So a dude going to a woman's march and going up to women and asking them to define what a woman

00:45:12.980 is. And probably acting like it's some big gotcha moment. Yeah, that's interesting. Oh,

00:45:18.720 let's not forget the sandwich board. I mean, what definition was he looking for? One based off of

00:45:23.280 genitals and reproductive organs? That's a little bit very narrow and not exactly great to boil people 1.00

00:45:28.680 down to their part. Okay. Well, first of all, Jamie, how do you know I'm a dude? I don't,

00:45:34.460 I didn't tell you that. That was not, that was not said. So where'd you get that from? And yeah,

00:45:40.060 it is a gotcha moment. In fact, if people are marching in a women's march and holding signs and

00:45:45.880 chanting slogans, claiming that women are under attack and being oppressed, and yet they have

00:45:49.520 absolutely no idea what a woman is and can't begin to define the term, then yes, that's a gotcha moment. 1.00

00:45:54.560 As it reveals the inherent absurdity and incoherence of their worldview. But it's not a

00:45:59.480 gotcha moment that I engineer. Okay. I'm not backing anybody into a corner. All I did was walk up to

00:46:07.380 them and ask them what the words they're using mean. That's a fair question. In fact, that's the

00:46:12.520 fairest question you can ever ask anyone is when they're using words to say, well, what do you mean

00:46:17.260 by that? How could that be an unfair question? If it becomes a gotcha moment for you that only shows

00:46:22.780 just how totally vapid and ridiculous your ideology is. As for what kind of definition I'm 0.98

00:46:27.140 looking for, well, to start with, I'd like a definition, some kind of definition. Let's just

00:46:32.480 get a definition on the table first, and then we can debate whether it's the right or wrong one.

00:46:36.720 But you guys won't put any definition at all on the table. You act like the word has no meaning at all,

00:46:42.720 like it's just a bunch of arbitrary gibberish, and yet you continue to use the word,

00:46:46.700 and you expect us all to know what it means or to know what you mean when you use it. So, again,

00:46:54.200 is it a gotcha? Yes, it certainly is. But I didn't get you. You got yourself.

00:46:58.800 Oh, from the controversial mind of Matt Walsh.

00:47:06.040 I'm a husband. I'm a father for, I host a talk show, I give speeches, I write books. I like to

00:47:11.640 make sense of things. A woman is not anything in particular. There is not one particular thing. 0.62

00:47:16.160 It could be many things to many people. Some women have penises, right? Some men have vaginas. 1.00

00:47:20.880 I like scented candles. I've watched Sex and the City. Yeah. How do I know if I'm a woman? 1.00

00:47:25.140 Oh, dear God. What is he doing? Why is he making this? Do you just show a compilation of people

00:47:30.040 saying it can't be boiled down to one thing? Some women do have penises, like trans women. Some men 1.00

00:47:35.260 do have vaginas, like some trans men. And your response is, I like scented candles. Is that what 1.00

00:47:41.120 makes a woman? I don't know. Does it? I mean, you tell me. Because a second ago, you said that a

00:47:47.640 woman can't be defined by her parts. Now you're saying that having an interest in feminine things 1.00

00:47:52.260 also doesn't make you a woman. So what does, Jamie? You've declared that neither interests

00:47:58.300 nor body parts define a woman, which would seem to indicate that you have a solid idea in your head 0.82

00:48:03.380 as to what does define a woman, and yet you have yet to provide that definition. What if I decide

00:48:08.880 that my love of scented candles makes me a woman? After all, I'm not just talking about the manly scents,

00:48:13.600 okay? Like leather or bonfire or something. I can go with a lavender candle, okay? That's how

00:48:21.840 girly the candles can get sometimes. And if I say that makes me a woman, who are you to say that I'm

00:48:27.900 wrong? You can only dismiss my scented candle-based definition if you have some other objective

00:48:34.000 definition in mind. But if you don't, if you have no idea what a woman is, then for all you know,

00:48:39.920 no, a woman is truly just anyone who's purchased a scented candle at any point in their life.

00:48:45.120 That definition is at least better than the definition you're offering, because you aren't

00:48:49.320 offering any. You're not a scientist. You're not a gender studies major. No. How do you know

00:48:55.360 that you're a man? I guess because I got a dick. 1.00

00:49:00.740 A journey to discover the truth. The truth about what? 1.00

00:49:04.040 The truth about what a woman is. It's right there in the title. How are you confused already?

00:49:10.100 That's what this is about. Try to keep up, Jamie.

00:49:13.840 Can a man become a woman? 1.00

00:49:18.020 I'm not a woman, so I can't really answer that.

00:49:21.200 Women only know what women are. 1.00

00:49:24.560 Can a man become a woman? That's a silly question, because trans women are not men 1.00

00:49:29.360 who become women. They are women who happen to be trans. Just like trans men are not women who 0.97

00:49:35.640 become men. We're men who happen to be trans. At least ask the right question. 0.99

00:49:41.720 Well, this is shocking. I'm appalled. Jamie, are you suggesting that gender is not fluid?

00:49:50.160 Like, 90% of people on TikTok identify as gender fluid. Do they not exist? Does TikTok not exist? 0.99

00:49:56.040 Are you saying their identities are not valid? Are you marginalizing gender fluid people?

00:50:01.280 Because, in fact, according to your worldview, a man can absolutely become a woman. An individual

00:50:06.580 could identify as a man one day and a woman the next. So, in fact, an individual could identify

00:50:12.820 as a man one minute and a woman the next. And each of those identities are valid and true,

00:50:17.820 right? Isn't that what you think? If you are whatever you identify as, and you identify as a woman after 0.62

00:50:23.600 having identified as a man, that would mean that you became a woman. You were one thing, 0.99

00:50:29.140 and now you're another. So, you became the other. Unless gender fluidity is false. Is that what you 0.94

00:50:37.820 believe? You're a fluid phobe? Duly noted, Jamie.

00:50:41.600 Are you a cat? No. Can you tell me what a cat is?

00:50:47.980 You want to tell us what a woman is? 1.00

00:50:49.560 Ah, yes. I mean, I don't know if this is lovely editing or if this is actually how it went down,

00:50:54.360 but ask somebody to define an animal. Yeah, that really makes sense. Asking someone to define an

00:51:00.540 animal that has nothing to do with the human concept and language of gender and sex is really

00:51:06.400 not the clever move he thinks it is. I could bring up the example when a well-known transphobe tried to

00:51:11.100 define a chair, and then multiple people pointed out to him that that definition could also work

00:51:17.000 for horses. So, well done. A horse is now a chair, apparently.

00:51:21.680 No, see, you're confused again. The point of the cat question was not to quiz that person about the

00:51:27.080 definition of a cat. The point was to respond to the claim that only women can know what women are.

00:51:33.800 And first of all, as I discovered at the Women's March, that's not true because lots of women don't 0.81

00:51:37.500 know what women are. And second, you can absolutely know what something is without being that thing. 1.00

00:51:43.660 Everybody knows what a cat is, and yet none of us are cats. I also know what a Chinese person is, 0.64

00:51:49.660 despite not being Chinese. I know what planets and sandwiches and mice and trees and Mark Wahlberg is, 0.94

00:51:55.180 despite the fact that I'm not any of those things. I even know what a chair is. That's not a hard

00:51:59.560 question. That's a seat built for one person, usually with four legs and a back. There you go.

00:52:04.880 That's a chair. That definition would not apply to horses because horses aren't built. Okay? Let's

00:52:10.380 keep going. I'm a biological woman that medically transitioned to appear like a male. I will never

00:52:17.520 be a man. Oh, no. No, do not agree with that. 99.99999% of trans men will very strongly disagree 0.97

00:52:29.880 with that statement. Don't know if that person actually identifies as a trans man. By the sounds

00:52:35.240 of it, they are assigned female at birth and transitioned in the sense of taking testosterone

00:52:38.920 and living within society as a man. But yes, sure, for the purposes of your seemingly transphobic

00:52:45.440 documentary, go and find one of the very, very few trans people who holds these kind of gender

00:52:52.520 critical, transphobic views on trans people and include them. Ignore the many thousands and the

00:52:59.640 vast, vast majority of trans people who will very strongly disagree with this very, very small number

00:53:05.140 of trans people who will say things like this. But who cares if Scott Nugent's views are in the

00:53:10.000 minority among trans people? Trans people are in the minority among the general population.

00:53:15.060 If you can dismiss Scott for being in the minority, then can't I dismiss you for being

00:53:21.940 in the minority? Also, I did not ignore other trans people. We talked to lots of trans people

00:53:26.700 in the film, some of whom you've already seen in the trailer, despite claiming that we ignored

00:53:30.200 them. We tried to speak to many more trans people, but they refused to speak to us. And this is a pretty 1.00

00:53:34.600 common phenomenon, right? Trans activists claim that nobody will talk to us. Oh, why don't you talk 0.81

00:53:39.500 to us? And yet when I try to talk to them, they literally run away. I mean, literally get up and

00:53:45.540 run away in some cases. Okay. Jumping ahead now, we get to the part of the trailer where I'm talking

00:53:49.540 to a gender affirming pediatrician about the quote unquote gender affirming about the chemical

00:53:54.680 castration drugs she gives to kids. Well, I say I'm talking to her about it, but it's more accurate 0.85

00:53:58.840 to say that I tried to talk to her about it. She threatened to storm out of the interview. And

00:54:01.880 as soon as I correctly noted that the puberty blocker Lupron is used to chemically castrate

00:54:06.000 pedophiles. And then that's what brings us to what Jamie has to say about all this. Let's listen.

00:54:12.080 Puberty blockers have actually been used in cis kids with precocious puberty for a very long time,

00:54:18.020 decades as well, decades. Precocious puberty being when puberty starts too early. So they use puberty

00:54:23.060 blockers to hold it off a bit till the child is a more appropriate age. There has never been a fuss

00:54:28.820 over cis kids with early puberty having access to puberty blockers in the same way that there has been a

00:54:34.940 fuss over trans kids. They're the same drugs. They're used in the same way to hold off puberty 1.00

00:54:38.640 until a child is ready to go through puberty. No one ever gave a s*** about puberty blockers 0.57

00:54:43.240 until it became widely known that they were used to help trans kids.

00:54:47.520 Okay, Jamie, lean in close here so you can hear this. I want you to hear it. But pay close attention.

00:54:53.040 Precocious puberty is a physical condition. It's an ailment often caused by tumors on the ovaries or

00:54:59.380 adrenal glands or by problems with the nervous system or genetic syndromes. Precocious puberty happens when a

00:55:04.560 child's body is doing what it is not supposed to do naturally. That's why we call it precocious,

00:55:11.000 meaning it's happening earlier than it's supposed to. There are also direct physical consequences to not

00:55:16.160 treating precocious puberty, such as the potential for stunted growth and other problems. But puberty

00:55:20.220 blockers for, quote, trans kids are used to treat, quote-unquote, puberty that is not precocious.

00:55:26.080 There's no physical problem. Puberty is happening exactly when it's supposed to. So on the one hand,

00:55:31.320 we have puberty blockers used to treat early puberty in children with a physical health condition.

00:55:36.140 On the other, we have puberty blockers used to stave off normal puberty in children with no relevant

00:55:40.740 physical health condition. It's very similar to the difference between top surgery for physically healthy

00:55:46.280 girls and a double mastectomy for someone with breast cancer. And you don't see a difference in these 0.93

00:55:51.760 two scenarios. The difference is that they are literally opposites of each other. That's the

00:55:57.080 difference. I know it might be a little too subtle for you PhDs, not the most perceptive bunch I've

00:56:02.420 learned. Is it transphobic to tell the truth? The interview's over. Let's try off the cameras.

00:56:09.400 Excuse me. I just wanted to know, what is a woman? And you're not going to find out. Based on what I'm 0.99

00:56:13.640 saying, would you ever want to move to America? They say no, never. Oh my God. Oh my God. Honestly,

00:56:31.680 that felt like a hot mess and was just filled with all of the transphobic dog whistles and transphobia

00:56:37.640 that was thinly veiled as caring about children. Truth is, these people, the people with these views

00:56:43.040 and the transphobic views and making films like this will not have had any concern for the cis kids

00:56:48.060 receiving the exact same treatment. And I'm not saying they should have. What I'm pointing out is

00:56:52.100 that they all of a sudden have concern and are pouring money and resources into making stuff like

00:56:57.880 this to just on an incredibly discriminated against community within society. Why? It doesn't make sense

00:57:05.120 to me. There's just a lot of fear mongering going around. There's a lot of misinformation. There's a lot

00:57:09.020 of half-truths. There's a lot of dog whistles. And there's a lot of people buying into it. When in

00:57:13.680 reality, trans people, we just want to live our lives. Okay. Trans kids deserve access to trans-affirming

00:57:21.040 healthcare, which again, just reminding you, a majority of which is purely just social. And then

00:57:27.140 the other little bit is puberty blockers. So lots of parts through here, but I couldn't help but

00:57:33.660 note, Jamie, that you never said anything specifically about the African tribe. I mean,

00:57:38.560 they were literally laughing at the very idea of transgenderism. And they had a lot more to say, 0.71

00:57:43.960 which you'll see in the film when it comes out on June 1st. But you seem to let them off the hook.

00:57:47.840 You called Scott Nugent a transphobe and me a transphobe, but you seem somehow reluctant to call

00:57:52.160 out the bigotry of that group of Africans that I spoke to. Which is kind of interesting.

00:57:56.660 Hmm. As for your claim at the end that most trans-affirming healthcare, quote unquote,

00:58:01.860 for kids is social and the rest is puberty blockers, well, you're lying. As you know,

00:58:07.160 kids are getting surgery as young as 14 or even younger potentially. They're chopping the breasts

00:58:12.020 off of minors. That's part of the trans-affirming healthcare that you seem to want to skate around. 0.98

00:58:18.200 The puberty blockers we've already covered, they're not reversible, they're not safe. And these are

00:58:21.720 indeed the exact same drugs they use to chemically castrate convicted pedophiles.

00:58:25.140 The social transition that you talk about is designed to, and almost always has the effect

00:58:30.200 of, putting kids on the path to medical transition a little further down the line, as you also know.

00:58:35.260 So the distinction between social and medical transition for kids is misleading at best.

00:58:39.780 But no surprise there, as a trans activist, misleading people is what you do best. 1.00

00:58:44.520 Speaking of which, I noticed something else, Jamie. You just gave a whole 10-minute response,

00:58:48.840 and yet you never did actually respond to the question. Kind of curious. Your response could

00:58:54.180 have been 15 seconds. You could have invalidated and debunked the whole film, humiliated me,

00:58:59.480 and scored a major victory against transphobia simply by providing a definition of woman that's 0.52

00:59:04.060 coherent and consistent with gender ideology. But you didn't. Is that because you're polite? 0.81

00:59:10.280 So polite that you'll repeatedly accuse me of bigotry and call the film a hot mess,

00:59:14.080 but not provide the one thing that would actually debunk the central premise of the film?

00:59:18.260 Is it politeness, or are you sitting on a gigantic house of cards, and you know it,

00:59:25.120 and you know I know it, but you don't want anyone else to know it?

00:59:29.440 Well, I guess that's just another question that I'm asking, even though I already know the answer.

00:59:34.720 And that's why you're canceled. And that'll do it for us today.
