The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 965 - It's Time To Confront And Shame The Groomers

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, horrifying footage of a drag show for children at a gay bar in Texas

00:00:04.680 over the weekend. How is this happening and how is it happening in Texas? We'll talk about that

00:00:08.560 and one bright spot in this story is the protesters outside confronting and shaming the groomers. We

00:00:13.280 need a lot more of that. Also, a criminal steals a car, runs over a mother and her child, tries to

00:00:17.720 flee the scene and will now spend all of five months in juvenile detention for it. And a mother

00:00:22.740 who rushed into Robb Elementary to save her children while police stood outside is speaking

00:00:26.880 out. We'll listen to her story. Plus, another sneak peek of a scene from my film, What is a Woman?

00:00:31.300 And in our daily cancellation, we'd send screeners of the film to mainstream film critics. They

00:00:36.440 responded to our email and were not happy. We'll talk about that and much more today on the Matt

00:00:41.080 Walsh Show. You know, abortion has been, of course, in the news with the impending Roe v. Wade decision

00:00:54.940 and it's going to be even more so once eventually this decision comes out.

00:00:59.360 And if they decide to get rid of Roe v. Wade, which I think they will, you may think it means

00:01:04.520 that the fight is coming to an end. But abortion legislation returning to the states means that

00:01:08.500 the real battle is really just beginning and there's no group in America better positioned

00:01:12.360 than 40 Days for Life to help fight this battle. 40 Days for Life has one million volunteers

00:01:16.820 throughout the country holding peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities. You may be surprised to hear

00:01:20.560 that their largest presence is actually in the country's bluest states, with California

00:01:24.360 being their biggest state, actually. Their vigils have closed many abortion facilities in America

00:01:29.320 and nearly half of those facilities were in liberal states where abortion will continue to remain legal

00:01:33.580 after the fall of Roe. From San Francisco to Chicago to Seattle, hardly pro-life areas.

00:01:38.860 As I'm sure you know, volunteers have guided abortion workers to have a change of heart and quit

00:01:42.220 their jobs. So as this issue gets out of D.C., finally, 40 Days for Life is effectively changing

00:01:47.340 hearts and minds in the grassroots of the pro-abortion movement. You can check out their

00:01:50.620 locations, podcasts, and their new book, What to Say When, the complete new guide to discussing

00:01:55.180 abortion at 40daysforlife.com. One reason that I have always been kind of skeptical about any

00:02:01.320 predictions of a coming civil war is that most Americans don't have the energy or attention span

00:02:06.000 to fight a civil war. It would require too much time away from the couch and Netflix. But the other

00:02:09.860 reason for my skepticism is that boundaries between the sides are not nearly as geographically

00:02:15.880 defined and delineated as they were in, say, 1861 for the first round. We speak broadly of red states

00:02:22.420 and blue states, and we think of the left as living in coastal metropolises while the right lives down

00:02:28.260 south and across the heartland. But this, of course, is a massive oversimplification. And even more

00:02:33.660 pressingly, however, apart from any civil war discussion, the idea that there are these wide swaths

00:02:40.000 of conservative geographic dominance can lead to, I think, a kind of false sense of contentment

00:02:45.600 and security among conservatives. They say, well, leave the cities, leave California,

00:02:50.360 leave New York, and move down south, and you'll be free of the moral filth and insanity infecting

00:02:55.720 those places. That's what we seem to think. But the reality is a lot more complicated and also,

00:03:01.180 unfortunately, more depressing. After all, Texas is one of the places that's supposed to be a kind of

00:03:07.740 promised land for conservatives. And yet Texas is where this happened over the weekend. From the Daily

00:03:13.640 Wire, it says, a Dallas gay bar is under fire for hosting an afternoon drag show for children

00:03:19.020 Saturday, where kids were invited on stage and tipped performers in front of a neon sign bearing

00:03:23.860 an obscene message. The Drag the Kids to Pride show at the Mr. Mr. Bar was billed as a family-friendly

00:03:31.920 version of the bar's regular champagne drag brunch. During Saturday's event, drag performers danced with

00:03:37.700 and took dollar bills from some of the children, according to ABC affiliate WFAA. Do you want to

00:03:43.380 hit the stage with the queens, reads a promotion for the event. We have five limited spots for young

00:03:48.480 performers to take the stage solo or with a queen of their choosing. Now, the obscene message on that

00:03:54.660 neon sign, by the way, said it's not going to lick itself, so the sign said. And we can fairly assume

00:04:01.480 that this was not a reference to an ice cream cone. In fact, we know that the environment, the event,

00:04:07.500 and everything associated with it was highly sexualized in nature because, first, it's a drag

00:04:13.160 show, and second, it's at a gay club. This means that the event was not only morally abominable, but

00:04:19.700 also, by the way, illegal, like explicitly illegal. In fact, it's illegal on several levels, including

00:04:25.920 by the clear language of a bill passed just last year in Texas. SB 315 forbids, quote,

00:04:33.780 sexually oriented businesses from allowing any patrons under the age of 21 onto the premises.

00:04:41.260 And this was a bill that was actually written to rate, because before it was, you had to be 18 or

00:04:45.640 over. And so they made it to, they raised the age, said you got to be 21 or over.

00:04:50.460 Um, the kids that were in that drag, at this drag event, weren't even close to 18, let alone 21.

00:04:59.000 The same bill also explicitly forbids any business from engaging in activities, quote,

00:05:03.720 harmful to a child. So this would, this would seem to be legislation, like, written to stop events like

00:05:10.620 the one in Dallas. There's no question that a gay club is a sexually oriented business. And if you did

00:05:18.120 have a question about that, the bright, glowing, enormous neon sign with a sexual reference posted

00:05:24.320 right on the wall by the door for everyone to see should answer the question. So was the bar shut

00:05:31.960 down? License revoked? That's what the bill says is supposed to happen. That's the consequence.

00:05:36.720 Were the employees and parents and all the other adults involved arrested, shackled, and

00:05:40.780 frog march to jail? No, in fact, following the, uh, recent trend, Texas cops stood outside and did

00:05:48.940 nothing. Well, not nothing. They did harass protesters who'd shown up to voice their displeasure at the

00:05:54.660 blatant sexual exploitation of children that was going on inside the establishment. We'll have more

00:05:58.320 on that in just a moment. First, let's, let's just take a look at, um, what actually happened in this,

00:06:03.280 uh, drag your child to pride event. There's plenty of footage of this atrocity, and it's clear that

00:06:09.140 much of the event consisted of cross-dressing men in their burlesque outfits, dancing for children

00:06:15.300 while the children were encouraged to hand the dancers dollar bills, you know, like, um, like they

00:06:19.980 do at strip clubs. Here, take a look.

00:06:39.140 Now it gets worse somehow. The children were also included in the performance, as the Daily Water

00:06:46.960 article alluded to, um, compelled to be active participants. At, at a certain point, the drag

00:06:53.600 queens brought the kids up on stage and coached them on how to walk the runway. I mean, this is like

00:06:58.620 literal grooming happening in front of the crowd. The kids, of course, appeared confused and

00:07:04.120 bewildered by the whole thing. Watch.

00:07:06.400 You pick who you want to walk the runway with. You pick who you want to walk the runway with.

00:07:23.360 Okay, go with her. You guys go with her. How about, okay, one person can go with me. Who

00:07:29.820 wants to go first? You want to go with me? All right. This is my partner in prime today.

00:07:33.680 You ready to do this? On the count of three, here we go. One, two, three. Let's go.

00:07:42.460 All right. We can cut out of that. Um, okay. So, and it's, it's,

00:07:53.340 the reason it's all blurry and looks smoky in there is that we, we wanted to blur it so you

00:07:56.620 couldn't see the kids, but, uh, you could still see what was happening to them, what was being

00:08:01.600 done. Um, you'll notice how the adults, the parents are way more excited about this than

00:08:09.720 the children. In fact, the first, uh, little boy up on, up, up there is brought up there

00:08:14.520 to participate. He obviously doesn't want to be there. I mean, he's got, he's, he's kind of like

00:08:20.380 hunched over and he's doing the thing that kids always do when they don't want to do

00:08:23.660 something. Just kind of walking sort of that kind of hunched over thing. Um, doesn't want

00:08:28.600 to be there. Of course he doesn't want to be there. He's, he's a, he's a boy. Like he's,

00:08:32.580 it looks like he's six or seven year old boy. He wants to be outside playing. He wants to,

00:08:35.780 you know, he wants to be, uh, uh, playing with his superhero action figures, doing whatever,

00:08:40.220 doing whatever he wants. He doesn't want to be there doing that, but that's why they call

00:08:44.340 it drag the kids to pride, right? That's the name of the event. It's a name. So on the nose

00:08:49.740 that at first, when I saw that name and the images with the, with the flyer and everything

00:08:54.080 to promote the event, I thought honestly, it was a meme invented by the right drag the

00:08:59.120 kids to pride. No, it turns out that's actually the name they used. And indeed the kids were

00:09:05.200 dragged into this by parents who, if it's possible to rank the villains in this situation

00:09:10.020 would certainly take the title as the biggest scumbag. Now the degenerate bar owner who hosted

00:09:13.760 this event, the cross dressers who strutted around for a bunch of elementary schoolers are all

00:09:18.140 demonic filth as well, of course, but parents have a special responsibility to love and protect

00:09:23.020 their children. Sitting back, sipping booze and cheering as your child is sexually exploited

00:09:26.620 is a level of evil. That's just, it's hard to comprehend for anybody, especially if you're

00:09:31.260 a parent. In fact, we got some insight into the parent child dynamic from a journalist named

00:09:37.240 Taylor Hanson, who, uh, made his way into the event so that he could film it and expose what was going

00:09:42.320 on. And after enduring what had to be a traumatic experience, even for an adult who has to

00:09:48.000 watch this, I mean, imagine what the kids are feeling. He shared one exchange that he witnessed

00:09:52.880 between a mother child and a bartender. I want you to listen to this.

00:09:58.880 They have a kid sitting there at the bar as well. And he's sitting there with his face,

00:10:02.960 you know, plugged into his Nintendo 3DS. He doesn't care about the drag stars, doesn't care about

00:10:07.680 anything going on there. His mom's trying to get him to pay attention. He doesn't care,

00:10:11.860 still playing his games. And the, uh, I overheard a conversation that was really startling. It was,

00:10:17.240 uh, he was talking to the bartender and he said, no, I'm not gay. And his mom butted in,

00:10:22.860 interrupted this child and said, no, he is gay. Don't let him lie to you. He is. And the kid,

00:10:27.960 you could just tell he was super uncomfortable. He obviously wasn't gay, but his mom's telling

00:10:31.940 everyone he's gay. And he just sat there and played Nintendo the entire time. And I mean,

00:10:36.580 he worked on a Rubik's cube as well. I watched this kid solve the same Rubik's cube three times. I mean,

00:10:42.760 he didn't care to be there, didn't care about anything going on. And meanwhile, you have the

00:10:47.660 parents on the other side of the aisle giving their kids money. They're wearing Trans Lives Matter

00:10:53.160 shirts. They're wearing all of these shirts that they don't even know what it means, but just because

00:10:57.420 their mom told them that it would look nice. Now, normally, uh, I hate it when kids are, you know,

00:11:03.560 immersed in their phones and screens and they won't look up from the screen. In this case though,

00:11:08.620 it was the child's saving grace. In fact, um, sadly, the, the only hope that this young boy has

00:11:13.920 is that he will just ignore his horrible Munchausen mother, remain totally disinterested in whatever

00:11:19.480 she's trying to force him into. And then perhaps later in life, rebel against her as many teens do

00:11:24.600 rebel, except in this case, he'd be rebelling against moral insanity by choosing to be sane,

00:11:30.800 rational, and decent. And that would break his mother's heart more than anything. I mean, if he,

00:11:35.060 his mother, if he ends up being a sane, rational, morally decent, well-adjusted person, that would

00:11:39.600 break her heart. And I pray to God that her heart is broken in that way. This mother deserves to be

00:11:44.480 in solitary confinement for the rest of her life, as do all the adults involved. But if we can't get

00:11:49.720 that, then hopefully at least they'll be punished when their children realize what monstrous ghouls they

00:11:54.440 are and cut them out of their lives forever. We can pray for such a result, but we also know

00:11:59.740 from a pure statistical standpoint that many of these children are statistically, a certain

00:12:05.820 percentage of them are doomed. I mean, are going to be sucked into this. There's a chance that a

00:12:11.720 child who grows up in this environment will still grow to be good and happy people, but it's not a

00:12:18.500 very great chance. And that's the tragedy. Of course, the left has come up with different ways of

00:12:24.360 excusing all this, but the excuses always eventually filter back down to the simple truth of the

00:12:29.640 matter. At first, because here's the thing with the left, at any time they're making an argument

00:12:35.100 or they're defending something, the first thing they say, the first defense they offer,

00:12:43.240 it's always like, it's always, well, here's how I'll defend this. But even if what I'm saying right

00:12:48.420 now isn't true, then whatever I'm defending is still okay. That's kind of how it works.

00:12:53.040 So at first they've tried to claim that there's nothing sexual about any of this.

00:12:58.420 It's all totally innocent and family friendly. Yet this rationale doesn't stand up to scrutiny

00:13:03.560 because drag is hypersexual by its nature. That's the point of the thing. Also they're at a gay bar

00:13:08.280 and there's the dollar bills that the dancers are being handed. And then there's the neon sign with

00:13:12.960 the sexually explicit message right there in front of the kids. All of this precludes any attempt to

00:13:17.680 pretend that this is anything but sexual. And that's when the apologists pivot from it's not sexual

00:13:22.660 to it's sexual, but that's good. They say it's healthy for children to be exposed to this sort

00:13:28.440 of thing. It'll make them more tolerant and open-minded and progressive. But the point is not

00:13:34.240 really to make them open-minded, of course, even if that was the point that would not even begin to

00:13:39.020 excuse what's happening. But as GK Chesterton said, the object of opening the mind is to close it again

00:13:46.340 around something. And hopefully what you're doing is you're opening the mind to close it around

00:13:51.160 truth. In this case, they're closing the mind around perversion and depravity.

00:13:58.140 Now, do they want to sexualize these children just for the sake of it to fulfill their pedophilic

00:14:02.600 fantasies? Well, certainly there's a lot of that going on, yes. But also the goal is to, you know,

00:14:08.320 quote unquote, liberate the child from any semblance of traditional morality. It's to wall him off

00:14:14.600 from moral truth, from reality itself, really. The adults want these children to grow up and

00:14:19.880 become the same sorts of feckless, confused deviants that they are. And that's why I take

00:14:24.980 some solace in the one bright spot of everything that happened around that bar in Dallas. And that

00:14:32.140 would be the protesters out front confronting and shaming the groomers. One of them is Alex Stein,

00:14:37.760 who confronted a drag queen in the parking lot as he was leaving. Let's watch that.

00:14:42.720 little children. Do you like dancing for little children? You don't think that's disgusting?

00:14:49.940 Dancing around for a little away from me. Don't you think that's disgusting?

00:14:54.100 I need you to get away from me. Get the way. You don't think that's disgusting.

00:14:57.880 You don't think that's disgusting. Dancing for little children. You should be ashamed of yourself

00:15:07.880 dancing for little children. You should be ashamed of yourself.

00:15:10.400 No, I f*** him. Is he a child? No.

00:15:12.640 You guys, you guys, dance for little children. You should be ashamed of yourselves. You're

00:15:17.000 disgusting. Think about what you just did.

00:15:19.360 You're a whore.

00:15:20.200 Okay, that's fine. But you dance naked in front of little children.

00:15:23.880 You dance, you dance, you dance, you dance, you dance.

00:15:26.420 You dance in front of little children. Very well done by Alex there. Now, not everyone

00:15:41.620 may be comfortable with that sort of thing. You know, the confrontational approach. There

00:15:46.560 are still conservatives who aren't comfortable with it who say, I don't know about that. That

00:15:50.220 makes me. Well, if you're not comfortable with it, you need to get comfortable. These people

00:15:55.080 have been operating in a world free of shame, right? That's the world they've kind of, that's

00:16:01.340 the bubble that they've constructed for themselves. Which is why they were not only put this event

00:16:09.760 on and not only in Texas, but were shocked that protesters were outside. Shocked and scandalized

00:16:17.080 and offended. They didn't think anybody would come and have a problem with it.

00:16:22.360 And only in this kind of shameless bubble could child drag shows exist in the first place.

00:16:32.240 That's why we have to bring shame back and direct it in the places where it belongs.

00:16:39.200 It was always a lie that it's wrong. You know, shame is wrong. It's wrong to shame things,

00:16:44.680 shame people. No, shame is a good tool as long as you're shaming the things that need to be

00:16:51.720 shamed. Shaming the things that are shameful. Expose, confront, shame. Now it'd be better if the

00:16:59.380 people in charge would just enforce the law and protect our children, but they won't. So it's up

00:17:06.900 to us. Now let's get to our five headlines. All right. Hope you had a good weekend. I had a,

00:17:18.900 you know, mine was active. I started the weekend actually on Friday in Denver to speak at the

00:17:23.320 Western Conservative Summit out there. Then I flew down that night for the TPUSA Women's Leadership

00:17:28.880 Conference where I had a conversation with Charlie Kirk on stage about the film. That was great.

00:17:33.480 And then I flew up to Virginia to see family for a day, then back to Nashville. And I got back to my

00:17:40.140 house. And while I was gone that whole time, I had some, some bees delivered to my house because I'm

00:17:46.520 getting back into the beekeeping game. And so someone dropped off a couple of hives and, you know,

00:17:51.360 like left them in the yard. And, but I had to, I had to put them, they weren't where they needed to

00:17:56.980 be because they're like right next to the house. I had to, I had to put them, like bring them up a hill

00:18:00.240 to, to what, to the, what we call the bee yard, where I want my beehives to be. And, um, you know,

00:18:05.520 usually when you buy a package of bees, it comes in like a kind of a small box and there's like

00:18:09.260 3,000 bees and you could really lift it with one arm. You probably shouldn't, but you could.

00:18:13.160 In this case, I had full hives that were delivered and I had to move them up a hill, um, by myself.

00:18:20.200 And I'd never really moved a full hive before. And I thought to myself before I did it,

00:18:24.700 that I should probably look up online, maybe a YouTube video on how exactly this process is

00:18:30.680 supposed to work. But then I thought that will take time and I'd be bored. So instead I'll just

00:18:34.020 go out there and do it. And so I went out, I picked up these giant boxes full of like 10,000 bees and

00:18:40.660 like carry them up a hill. At one point I kind of partially tripped in this divot, this little ditch

00:18:46.200 in the, in the, in the grass. And I almost dropped the bees. And the thing is, if I had done that,

00:18:51.120 I would have dropped them and then fallen into them. And I didn't, but I almost did.

00:18:57.280 And all I could think about after that happened was that, man, if I was killed from falling into

00:19:04.960 a beehive right now of all times, that would be so many people would be so happy. I can't allow that

00:19:12.940 to happen. And, and the other thing that would be unfortunate is that I have to think about this

00:19:17.300 kind of thing now that like, even my supporters, because I know that if I die, of course the left's

00:19:22.700 going to be happy, they'll be making fun of me. But, but I have to think about the fact that my

00:19:25.800 supporters, if I die like in an embarrassing way by falling into a beehive and getting stung to death,

00:19:31.720 they would have, my supporters would have to even have to admit that I died in a way that was a little,

00:19:35.520 a little bit goofy. So this is the pressure that I have on me now. I know that when I die,

00:19:41.120 people will celebrate. So I have to make sure that I don't die in an embarrassing way. Like for your

00:19:47.220 sake and the sweet baby game, I have to give you a noble or at least tragic death. So something to

00:19:53.580 think about, but it all, it all worked out. Okay. The bees are where they need to be. I want to start

00:19:58.880 with this. Bill Mulligan at Fox news has a story here. First, I want to show you the video.

00:20:05.600 So it's a quick video, uh, yet another disturbing video, unfortunately, but, uh, I'll just tell you

00:20:12.620 the good news here is that what you're about to see, uh, both of the victims did, did survive,

00:20:17.760 but this was a woman in California who was hit by a car while she was walking her child in a

00:20:24.680 stroller. And, uh, let's just, let's go ahead and play that. So we see that footage here.

00:20:31.380 Okay. So she's walking on, she tries to get over to the side and then this car

00:20:34.240 looks like it's swerving at her.

00:20:39.800 Now I want you to watch what happens next. Car drives away, hit and run.

00:20:46.220 And then look at this guy in the pickup truck. Now here's, this is actually heroic.

00:20:51.160 So the guy in the pickup truck sacrifices his car, like gets into a head-on collision intentionally

00:20:55.800 to stop the person in the car that just did the hit and run. Um, so, you know, that, that's,

00:21:04.240 the person in the pickup truck deserves lots of credit for that. Also the mom, you know, you,

00:21:08.340 you, you watch that video there and it's very upsetting. Obviously you see a mom and her baby

00:21:12.220 get hit by a car. We also see how the mom, as the car is coming and she realizes she can't get out of

00:21:18.520 the way. She, she pivots around and puts herself in front of her child so that she takes the brunt of

00:21:24.740 the impact. And then she gets hit by a car and rolls off the, you know, rolls off the hood of

00:21:29.940 the car and then immediately pops up and goes to check on her child. And again, fortunately, thank

00:21:34.180 God, both the, um, mother and child were, were okay. Now here's the full story. All right. And this

00:21:41.000 is, we go to Bill Mulligan, who's got the full story. He reports a 16 year old hit and run driver

00:21:46.620 in a stolen car who ran over a mom and child in Venice was sentenced on Friday to five to seven

00:21:53.200 months in juvie camp. Um, DA George Gascon office tells me that this was an appropriate resolution,

00:22:01.320 but I've learned he was a prior, he has a prior criminal history per multiple law enforcement

00:22:06.340 sources. The juvie was on probation and violating it at the time of this hit and run. And he has been

00:22:11.640 previously convicted of felony poisoning after he spiked a teen girl's drink at Palmdale high school

00:22:17.000 in 2019. She was hospitalized. Despite the juvie's criminal history, sources in the LA's DA's office

00:22:23.760 tell me that in accordance with his policies, Gascon's admin didn't charge the juvie with assault

00:22:30.020 with a deadly weapon or attempted murder for the hit and run, which led to this, uh, light sentence.

00:22:36.600 So that is not assault with a deadly weapon. Running a mother and her child in a

00:22:41.620 stroller over with a hitting them with a car is not assault with a deadly weapon.

00:22:46.620 Now, actually, as it turns out, I mean, for all the talk we hear about, uh, so-called assault rifles,

00:22:51.340 whatever those supposed to be, um, cars are much statistically much deadlier weapons than our

00:22:57.880 quote unquote assault rifles. So this, uh, this DA, this is what, this is what he does. I mean,

00:23:04.880 this is the same DA I believe who, um, you know, there was that trans pedophile who, I mean, there's

00:23:12.680 so many cases like this. It's hard to even point pinpoint one, but it just, just, this is what he

00:23:17.080 does. Takes dangerous, terrible people and make sure to keep putting them back on the street. He

00:23:23.840 wants to keep as many of them out on the street as possible. And it would be bad enough, a five to

00:23:29.360 seven month sentence. But then you look at this, this, I hesitate to even call him a kid, but he

00:23:35.160 is 16. Uh, you look at his criminal history. Now let's ask ourselves, you've got a 16 year old

00:23:43.160 who already has a history of criminal violence. He poisoned somebody and now he's stealing a car,

00:23:53.340 running a woman over and her, and her baby and trying to run. So you give him another seven months,

00:23:58.320 just kind of like hanging out with other juvenile delinquents. Is he going to come out and be,

00:24:02.400 and be magically better? Is he going to come out and, uh, be reformed? Is that all it's going to take?

00:24:12.100 No, obviously not. Because as they filter these people through the system,

00:24:18.180 all they're, they're just getting worse and worse.

00:24:22.300 Okay. So it's not even, it's not even neutral where you just take an offender and then you throw

00:24:26.400 them back out on the street and they're just as dangerous as they were before. No,

00:24:29.700 this is being done in a way to make them more dangerous. Number one, because they're being

00:24:35.080 emboldened, not being held accountable. And the message that's being sent, especially to this kid

00:24:40.500 over and over again, is you can do whatever you want and there will be almost no consequence.

00:24:47.020 So you're emboldening them. And also you're just kind of like hooking them up with

00:24:51.680 other delinquents and criminals and violent people. So it becomes nothing more, it's like a,

00:24:58.280 it's like sending them off for a social gathering for a few months with other delinquents and then

00:25:02.100 you toss them back out on the street. And you keep doing this until this kid kills somebody and he

00:25:07.960 will. It's a miracle he hasn't already, not for lack of trying, he's going to kill somebody

00:25:12.460 eventually. And it's like, we know that everyone knows that this DA Gascon, this Marxist DA,

00:25:18.280 he knows that too, doesn't care. And his message to the community and all the innocent people and

00:25:24.880 the women that this, that this kid's going to victimize and already has victimized is, well,

00:25:29.140 look, too bad. We care more about this criminal than we do about you. And why is it? I mean,

00:25:36.760 why, what, what really? I mean, why are we doing this? Why not just take them and put them in prison

00:25:43.940 for a long period of time? Protect the innocent people that he's victimizing. This would seem to

00:25:52.520 be an easy win for especially a DA. You've got a mother and her child in a stroller hit by a car.

00:25:59.920 Throw the book at the scumbag. Everybody would celebrate that. So it's not only the right thing

00:26:07.680 to do morally and logically and legally, but it would also be the most politically popular thing

00:26:13.160 to do. So why wouldn't you do it? Well, one answer is that these are, these are Marxists.

00:26:20.060 This is a Marxist DA. This is, this is another, you know, handpicked George Soros puppet.

00:26:27.500 And they simply hate civilization. They really do. They want to destabilize civilization.

00:26:39.720 And also on top of that, not that I want to let them off the hook by, you know, letting them claim

00:26:44.260 ignorance, but it is also true that because of their ideological commitments, they do not understand

00:26:49.300 human nature at all. They just don't understand it. They think of people as like blank slates that you

00:26:58.880 can just, you know, you could just kind of slap them on the wrist and say, don't do that anymore.

00:27:03.120 And then they'll just stop doing it. Kind of like flipping a switch or something, reprogramming.

00:27:07.060 Doesn't work that way. I mean, human nature tells us that when someone starts to descend into evil,

00:27:17.220 you know, that dissent is going to continue unless something is done, something drastic is done to stop it.

00:27:31.480 And the other part of human nature is that we know that although it's, it's, it is possible for people

00:27:36.520 to be redeemed, it's possible for them to repent, it's possible for them to reform and change their lives.

00:27:41.960 One thing we know is that it's never going to happen unless, there's no chance of it, unless they're forced

00:27:46.920 to confront the horrible things that they've done. Like you, you cannot actually, um, repent of a sin

00:27:53.380 that you haven't confronted. If you don't understand the severity of it, if you're not, if you're not

00:27:57.360 forced into this confrontation with your own sin and the own, and your own evil that you've committed,

00:28:02.160 there's not going to be any repentance. There's no chance of it.

00:28:06.920 And that's, that's one aspect. And the other aspect is that, um, although it is possible

00:28:11.440 for someone to reform, most people don't.

00:28:16.580 The chances of it are very low. If you've got a kid who's not even 18 yet,

00:28:20.240 and he's already poisoning people and running people over with cars,

00:28:24.560 99% chance, unfortunately, is that he's going to be a dangerous scumbag for the rest of his life.

00:28:31.040 You hope for some reformation, but probably not going to happen statistically.

00:28:34.100 Which means that for the sake of society, you need to segregate him from everybody else.

00:28:41.380 I want to move to this. Um, I don't know if this is so much a headline, but, but it's a headline for

00:28:45.680 me. Um, I want to show you another quick sneak peek. This is something that I posted on Twitter a

00:28:51.200 couple of days ago, quick sneak peek from the film. And this relates to, you know, everything we talked

00:28:55.640 about really in the opening. Um, the, it's sort of the logical conclusion of the leftist sexual

00:29:04.060 agenda. What, what happens when we become unmoored from truth, unmoored from reality,

00:29:09.500 from our moral tradition. And we, uh, took the rabbit hole all the way down in the film. So I

00:29:16.380 want to play this clip from, uh, what is a woman, which is available now at whatiswoman.com. You can

00:29:20.200 become, become a subscriber and watch, but here it is. Watch. So now we are seeing kids that are

00:29:26.460 identifying as animals going to school and they are purring instead of answering questions and they

00:29:33.720 meow and the teachers are not allowed to question it because it's considered a queer identity. So

00:29:41.600 you have kids that are going to school and they're saying, I'm a cat. And the teachers have to

00:29:47.800 affirm them as a cat. Yes. So it's not just the young ones. So the schools are like literal,

00:29:53.440 literal zoos now, basically. They are. I am a 27-year-old transgender woman. Um, I am a wolf

00:30:02.800 therian and a member of the furry fandom. When and how did you discover this inner wolfness? Um,

00:30:09.120 probably around age 10 or 11. I was watching an anime about wolves and see the wolf running across the

00:30:17.300 screen and I'm somehow just intrinsically like, oh, that's me. Have you spent any time around

00:30:22.160 biological wolves? Yes. That sounds dangerous also. What context are you? So I was a volunteer

00:30:28.640 with a preserve and I've, I've also visited many wolf preserves. Are you able to communicate

00:30:34.120 with the wolves? Am I going to have a conversation with a wolf in the way that I'm communicating you

00:30:40.560 and I? Obviously not. Am I going to read their body language, respond appropriately to their

00:30:46.400 behaviors and their nonverbal cues? Yes. Would you be able to give us an example of this wolf

00:30:52.720 communication? Um, no. I'm not comfortable doing so. Okay. All right. I mean, I thought I'd ask

00:31:00.080 anyway. Uh, I would be interested to know. I mean, I, I still would, would like to know what, um,

00:31:04.960 really what the interpersonal communication between a wolf is like. And you, and you see that and you

00:31:11.540 think, well, that's a absurd and you can kind of laugh about it and sure. But you know, I'm telling

00:31:17.200 you right now, this is not, uh, this is not any kind of, um, extreme slippery slope possibility.

00:31:27.340 I think that a few years from now that someone, I don't know if it's going to be me, but someone's

00:31:31.880 going to have to make a film called what is a human because this trans species stuff, this is not,

00:31:37.860 um, just a fringe fad, you know, outlier type of thing. This, as we heard from Sarah Stockton,

00:31:46.400 who's the therapist in the first part of that clip, this is a very common thing.

00:31:51.760 And she's not the only one saying that, you know, we hear from people that work in the schools,

00:31:57.080 therapists that feel like they can speak out without having their careers destroyed.

00:32:01.880 That this is, this is a thing now. Kids, this is what kids are doing.

00:32:07.460 And it's like, well, and of course kids are doing that. When you tell kids that, hey, you can be

00:32:13.100 whatever you want to be, your identity is up to you. Of course, a lot of them are going to say,

00:32:18.620 oh, well, I'm a, I'm a wolf or I'm a whatever, I'm a monkey.

00:32:22.100 And, and usually, you know, like in a sane society, kids pretending to be animals, as long as they're

00:32:31.320 kids. Now, the person we were talking to there, the, was it Wolf Therian, not a kid, that's an

00:32:35.960 adult. But for kids pretending to be animals, usually it's, uh, my own kids do that sometimes.

00:32:41.960 My two-year-old runs around pretending to be an animal. And that's, that's perfectly fine. That's

00:32:45.440 using your imagination. Except that we don't live in a sane society. And so now, uh, we latch on to

00:32:53.000 that and say, okay, well that, that's your, that's who you are now. That's your identity.

00:32:57.740 That's not, that's not just a game. That's who you are.

00:33:01.960 So look out for the sequel. What is a human? Dropping sometime in the next few years.

00:33:05.620 Um, I'm going to move to this. Daily Mail says, um, at least 50 people are feared dead after gunmen

00:33:13.740 opened fire on worshipers and detonated explosives at a Catholic church in southwestern Nigeria on

00:33:19.520 Sunday. The violence at St. Francis Catholic Church in, um, our town happened during the morning

00:33:26.260 service on Pentecost Sunday in a rare attack in the southwest of the African country. Um, and I,

00:33:33.800 I, I, I'm pretty sure that the body count has gone up from 50, but they're, but you know,

00:33:38.100 they're talking about at least 50 people were killed in this attack. Obviously a terrible tragedy,

00:33:43.900 horrible massacre. Um, and it comes just a week or so after we heard over and over again,

00:33:51.360 and we addressed this on the show, we heard this, this is that they made this claim on the view and

00:33:56.560 plenty of other places in media that this kind of thing only happens in America. This,

00:34:02.420 this is a uniquely American problem. And you'll remember I said, well, that's ridiculous. It

00:34:07.120 happens everywhere. Um, and here is tragic evidence of that. Not, not, but a few days later.

00:34:16.780 What we find, and the reason why this is important to point out is that, is that's a violence and death.

00:34:24.140 That's a universe, it's like universal human condition. It goes down to human nature,

00:34:29.260 which is why it's so important. If you're a DA or if you're anybody else, it's important to

00:34:34.400 understand human nature. Now there's, um, a poll that was done by CBS and it's, it's viral right

00:34:42.040 now. The results are viral on Twitter right now because it's being seen by the left as an

00:34:46.120 opportunity to dunk on Republicans because here's the, here's the headline, um, from Yahoo News.

00:34:51.820 Four in 10 Republicans think mass shootings are unfortunately something we have to accept as part

00:34:56.720 of a free society. Uh, then it continues in the article as more than four in 10 Republicans think

00:35:01.200 mass shootings are inevitable in a free society. The survey results came on the heels of a string

00:35:06.220 of mass shootings. Uh, one of the questions in the poll asked residents if they feel that mass

00:35:09.900 shootings are unfortunately something we have to accept or something we can prevent and stop if we

00:35:14.700 really tried. In, in response, 44% of Republicans said mass shootings are inevitable as part of a free

00:35:20.060 society. Now, of course the left is, Oh, how can they possibly say that? They're okay with mass

00:35:24.220 shootings. That doesn't mean you're okay with it. Obviously nobody, no one outside of the actual

00:35:30.660 mass shooters are okay with mass shootings. Everyone agrees that it's a horrible thing.

00:35:36.020 The only, my only disagreement with, um, the Republicans, the four in 10 Republicans that responded

00:35:42.280 this way, although they're just responding to the poll and the way that it's worded. My only disagreement

00:35:46.820 is that it says, you know, mass shootings are inevitable in a free society. No, no, no.

00:35:51.060 This is inevitable in any society free or not. And if it's not mass shootings, then it's mass

00:35:57.380 slaughter and mass attacks of other kinds. It's inevitable. There's, there's never going to be a

00:36:03.960 time never when we will have rid the world of murder. It is never going to happen. Now, does that

00:36:14.480 mean that you're okay with people being murdered? Obviously not. It just means that you're

00:36:19.320 confront, you want to live in reality. You want to start, you want, you want to have your starting

00:36:23.840 point in reality because if you're going to protect yourself, notice that these respondents, they

00:36:29.740 didn't say, well, there's nothing we can do to protect ourselves. There's nothing we can do to

00:36:33.020 punish the people that do it. There's nothing that we can do to defend our children. They didn't say

00:36:35.600 any of that. But if you want to protect yourself and defend your family and yourself and your

00:36:41.360 children, then you have to have a starting point of reality, which is to recognize that

00:36:45.920 there's always the potential of this kind of thing happening. You recognize that so that

00:36:52.160 you can have a chance of preventing some of it. And that's, that's why, you know, you want

00:37:06.020 to be able to have the ability to protect yourself rather than relying on, you know, rather than

00:37:11.140 sitting back and say, well, I'll wait for the government to come up with some kind of plan.

00:37:15.900 So some legislation, some policy that, that will protect me and my family and just make all this

00:37:20.920 go away. That's the leftist approach. And that's how they answer these surveys. So they can somehow

00:37:28.440 feel that they're on a kind of, they could perch themselves on a higher moral vantage point, they think.

00:37:36.020 You'll say, I'm more opposed to, to, to mass shootings than you are. No, no, you're not.

00:37:41.840 No, you can't be, you can't really be opposed to anything in reality if you're not living there first.

00:37:50.740 Understanding the inevitability of these kinds of things is how you, is how you can actually work

00:37:55.080 to prevent some of it. You know, death in general is an inevitability. I don't like it. No one likes that

00:38:05.420 fact, but that's, that is also a fact of reality. And you have to, again, if you want to be able to

00:38:10.300 protect yourself, you have to start from that reality. Now, speaking of this, this is from

00:38:17.500 The Blaze. I wanted to play this for you. It says, a Texas mother who defied Uvalde police officers and

00:38:22.860 ran into the school during the mass shooting to save her children has come forward to tell her story

00:38:27.860 despite alleged threats by law enforcement for her not to speak to the media. On the morning of May 24th,

00:38:33.240 Anjali Gomez went to Robb Elementary School to see her kids' graduation ceremonies.

00:38:39.640 And she, and then she found out what was happening there. She rushes to the school. And we have the

00:38:46.300 local media. They did an interview with this, with this mother. And I think this clip's about two

00:38:50.240 minutes, but she talks about everything that happened and it's worth listening to.

00:38:53.620 Right away, as I parked, U.S. Marshals started coming toward my car saying that I wasn't allowed

00:39:00.400 to be parked there. And he said, well, we're going to have to arrest you because you're being very

00:39:04.220 uncooperative. I said, well, you're going to have to arrest him because I'm going in there. And I'm

00:39:08.680 telling you right now, I don't see none of y'all in there. Y'all are standing with snipers and y'all

00:39:13.220 are far away. If y'all don't go in there, I'm going in there. He immediately put me in cuffs.

00:39:18.720 She says after Ivaldi police officers told Marshals to uncuff Gomez, she ran towards the

00:39:23.940 school. As soon as they uncuffed me, I jumped that first gate fence. And once I jumped it,

00:39:28.400 I went to my son's class. And I knocked on the door and I remember the teacher saying,

00:39:33.200 I'm like, hey, they're already, they're already bulge cutting the fence to get me.

00:39:37.420 She's like, you think we have time to get out? I said, you'll have time. I'm going to run for my

00:39:40.260 other son. Once she was assured her son was okay, Gomez ran to get her other child,

00:39:45.620 encountering more officers who tried to stop her.

00:39:48.720 So I started yelling and I'm being a cooperative and I'm like, well, y'all aren't doing

00:39:51.960 what are y'all doing? Y'all need to be in here. Give me your best. Somebody give me a best.

00:39:56.560 I'm something. I started paying attention to how far the shots were being so that I knew the

00:40:01.620 shooter was all the way still by my first son's class. So when I went to my son, my second son's

00:40:06.820 door, the teacher didn't want to open the door for me. So that's when they started escorting me

00:40:11.220 out. And as I, as I see that they're opening my son's door, I go run for my son and I get him.

00:40:16.640 With both of her kids out safe, Gomez still can't shake the thought of those who didn't

00:40:21.940 make it. While you were inside the school, did you see officers inside the school?

00:40:27.620 There was not one officer inside the school when I ran to my second son's class. There

00:40:30.820 was not one officer. And you were hearing gunshots. So you knew

00:40:33.960 that it was an active shooter. You could hear the gunshots. It was still

00:40:36.020 active. The gunshots were still active. They were not in there. There was no one in there.

00:40:41.020 If anything, when I pulled up, my car was closer to the school than where the snipers and everybody

00:40:46.640 knew that was laying on the groundwork. And somehow people on the left will see this,

00:40:52.600 that clip, as many of them have been sharing it, you know, on social media. Good reason

00:40:57.340 to share it. It's a, it's a powerful, harrowing, also infuriating story at the same time, but

00:41:02.920 they'll see it and not draw the connection between this and the gun issue. You can't rely on the

00:41:09.620 government to protect you, as is clearly the case here. Get rid of the guns. And that's what

00:41:16.260 you're left with. You're left hoping that the government will, that government employees will

00:41:21.280 step up and protect you. And maybe sometimes they will, but it's pretty clear you can't depend on it.

00:41:27.700 So she ran in to save her child and, and both of her children rather.

00:41:31.140 Um, and in a significant detail that we heard there is that as she is running from class to class

00:41:41.080 to say, you know, running into what, as far as she knew, gunfire unarmed to save both of her

00:41:49.680 children. But as she's doing that, she hears the gunshot, the gunfire continue. And that's a really

00:41:57.000 important point because, uh, one of the defenses or excuses that has been offered by, and for the

00:42:05.520 sake of the police officers is that, well, by the time they got there, the shooting had stopped.

00:42:11.300 And even if that was true, that still would not even begin to excuse the fact that they

00:42:15.860 let the shooter stay in there for an hour.

00:42:19.340 However, but that's not true. He, this, this, uh, scumbag, this demon was in that classroom with the

00:42:27.860 kids and just slowly executing them one by one over the course of an hour while the police were

00:42:33.260 outside. That's what happened. Cannot rely on anyone to defend us or our families. That's just

00:42:42.760 the truth of the matter. Let's get to the comment section.

00:42:47.320 Uh, let's see. Abby says the real star of the movie is Mrs. Walsh. Sorry, Matt. First of all,

00:43:06.300 spoiler warning. Uh, second, no need to apologize. Um, very happy we could include her in the film.

00:43:12.280 And, uh, I thought it was, uh, well, I don't want to give it away. So you're just all these

00:43:17.240 spoilers. People are not, uh, respecting that. Mike says, Matt loved your film, but the one really

00:43:24.040 big omission is that the film never mentions God or grounds itself in the truth of scripture.

00:43:31.420 Massive missed opportunity. Um, yeah, I've, I've, I've heard this critique of a couple of different

00:43:37.900 places. I, I just really disagree with it quite a bit. Um, the objective of the film is first of all,

00:43:46.220 to expose the absurdity and the hollowness of gender ideology and to kind of re and, and, and to

00:43:53.720 show how this is being, you know, how kids are being indoctrinated, how this is harming people,

00:43:58.320 harming women, harming everybody to, to expose all of that. And then to reassert basic common sense

00:44:04.440 reality, you know, um, the, the answer to what, okay, I just said, I want to give spoiler

00:44:09.960 spoilers away, but the answer to what is a woman is adult female. So I'm not sure what,

00:44:15.840 by the end of it, we finally get to the answer and you would have liked it to be

00:44:19.980 what a Bible quote or a woman is someone who's created by God or something like that.

00:44:26.100 The thing is, of course, that's true. But if you, if, if we had done that,

00:44:31.860 the left would have been very happy. I can tell you that. Okay. If we had framed this

00:44:37.680 in a, in a religious context, the left would love that. That's what they were hoping this movie would

00:44:43.340 be. And it's not. That's one of the reasons why they're so afraid of it. Um, I think we need to,

00:44:51.120 we needed to start with the basic reality. It's like, if somebody says, um, uh, if someone's going

00:44:57.560 around, if there's a movement of people going around claiming that two plus two equals five,

00:45:02.180 okay, we're going to destroy mathematics, two plus two equals five. What's your response to that

00:45:06.900 going to be? Your response is going to be, no, no, no, it's four. You're not going to say, well,

00:45:09.980 no, God says that two plus two equals four. He does, but that's no one would, you wouldn't,

00:45:14.420 that wouldn't be your response. Nobody would say that. That would not be the, the, the most effective

00:45:19.860 response because then you're making it seem like your belief in mathematics is rooted in religious

00:45:25.920 faith. It's like a religious doctrine. No, it's just math. Yes. Everything comes from God.

00:45:31.100 God, including mathematics. And that's a conversation we can have once you've reasserted

00:45:37.320 the basic reality. Okay. Someone says two plus two equals five. You don't immediately pull out

00:45:43.320 the Bible and start and start flipping through scripture and no, start with no, no, no. It

00:45:47.500 equals four. Let's start there. And then we can go deeper into a lot of different issues. The other

00:45:53.060 thing to keep in mind with what is woman is that it's one film. It's 90 minutes. So I have heard

00:45:57.100 from people, um, you know, and I appreciate everyone's feedback, but I have heard from

00:46:01.300 people say, well, why didn't you talk more about this? Why didn't you go that direction?

00:46:04.240 All those things are important. Like there are, you know, there are 50 different movies that could

00:46:09.160 be made based on the various different avenues that we went down and we should, we should do all

00:46:13.980 those things. Um, other people can make movies about those things and we can talk about all those

00:46:19.240 subjects, but you gotta, you have a, you have to have a starting point. All right, let's see.

00:46:27.880 Uh, leave it be says gender being a feeling is ridiculous. Every single person is going to feel

00:46:33.840 different from what society deems womanly or feminine, manly or masculine by their standards.

00:46:39.100 Everyone on earth would have a unique gender identity. This documentary was amazing. Uh, yeah,

00:46:44.600 what you're also getting at is, is, and this is what kind of what we heard from Jordan Peterson

00:46:48.660 in the film that there's this conflation of gender and personality or gender and temperament.

00:46:54.440 And, and a lot of the time when people are talking about gender, that's actually what

00:46:58.060 they're trying to describe. So we've kind of, we've kind of thrown, you notice that too,

00:47:01.860 people don't talk about personality and temperament that much anymore because the word gender has

00:47:09.040 subsumed all of that. Um, let's see. Uh, what else do we have?

00:47:19.620 Tercio says Matt's poker face reaction to the insanity threw them off. That's probably how he

00:47:23.460 got them to admit such horrible things on camera. They don't expect you to listen. They want you to

00:47:27.100 either to applaud without really questioning anything or to disagree with them upfront so

00:47:31.660 they can dismiss you as a bigot, but they don't know how to handle a person actually paying attention

00:47:35.680 to what they have to say. They didn't know what to do. So they just kept talking and revealing

00:47:38.820 their horrifying secrets. Yeah, there's that. Of course they, yes, they want, they want to be,

00:47:42.900 as we've talked about, they want to be immediately affirmed. They want to be, you know,

00:47:45.880 they want you to just submit to whatever they're saying and nod along. But the other thing

00:47:48.820 is that they, they don't want to have to say very much, right? So on any of these subjects,

00:47:54.900 they have a couple of sentences, they have like their talking point, their party line,

00:48:01.220 and they're happy to give you that and to say a couple of sentences, but that's all they got.

00:48:07.600 They don't want to have to continue talking.

00:48:11.280 And what I found in doing the film is that, yeah, you got to ask the right questions,

00:48:16.720 although it's not hard to figure out which questions to ask because they're the most basic

00:48:20.160 questions in the world. But sometimes even more important than the question is just the silence,

00:48:26.580 which is why there's a lot of awkward silence and pauses in these interviews. Um, and some of

00:48:33.080 that is just like, it just is kind of hilarious, but also if you ask the question, they give you

00:48:40.720 their kind of one-off talking point answer and they just leave more, keep, say nothing, let them keep

00:48:49.220 talking. Don't, don't bail them out by saying something else, you know, offering your own

00:48:55.440 perspective, asking a different question, like, no, just, yes, continue. Let's hear more about that.

00:49:01.540 Uh, and then when you do that, you find that there isn't much more to say as it turns out.

00:49:06.380 All right, let's get now to our daily cancellation.

00:49:12.240 The movie review aggregation site, Rotten Tomatoes, doesn't always give the most accurate

00:49:16.420 impression of a film's, uh, you know, quality for anybody unfamiliar with the site. If you are,

00:49:22.200 the, the idea is that all the reviews of a film are compiled and categorized as generally positive

00:49:27.720 or generally negative. And then we're given a percentage score. So a movie with a positive

00:49:32.000 percentage above 60 is fresh. Um, ostensibly if the positive percentage is higher 70, 80, 90,

00:49:38.340 it's supposed to be pretty good assurance that the film is, you know, very high quality.

00:49:41.480 The problem is that a film, which most critics found just mildly amusing might end up with a

00:49:47.320 95% fresh score simply because 95% of critics were mildly amused by it. So the 95% is a bit

00:49:53.320 misleading in that case, as we tend to associate 95% with an A plus grade, but the Rotten Tomatoes

00:49:57.820 grading system in effect makes it so that a whole bunch of C minuses can add up to an A plus.

00:50:03.020 This is how every Marvel movie passes as critically acclaimed, for example. The other problem is that

00:50:08.280 film critics are some of the most shameless and dishonest shills in media, which is really

00:50:13.300 saying something. So a very good film that fails to pass the woke litmus test may end up with a 30

00:50:18.140 or 40%. In those cases, it can be enlightening as people know to look at the audience score and

00:50:23.700 compare it because Rotten Tomatoes also allows regular Joes to leave their reviews and their

00:50:27.640 rating on a one to five star scale. Frequently movies that are panned for political reasons will

00:50:32.880 have a very lopsided review ratio. Maybe he gets a 30% from critics, but a 90% from audiences.

00:50:38.440 And if you see something like that, you know almost every time that the film is probably pretty

00:50:42.300 decent. Sometimes it'll go the other way and a film will have a 90% from critics and a 30% from

00:50:47.740 audiences. This usually means that the movie is this kind of like meandering, pointless art house

00:50:52.420 tripe that critics pretended to like so that they would seem smart. All in all, a lot can be gleaned from

00:50:58.420 a comparison of the two percentages. So what can we learn from this? As of last night, my new film,

00:51:05.280 what is a woman, had earned a 97% score from the audience with well over a thousand reviews

00:51:10.200 counted, which is a lot of reviews, by the way, from audiences. There are a lot of big box office

00:51:15.260 films that don't get a thousand reviews in the first week as we did. 97%.

00:51:20.520 What score did it get from the critics? Well, N.A., not applicable. There's no score. They just

00:51:27.840 haven't reviewed it. None of them. There's one critic review, and it's from Christian Toto, who's

00:51:32.460 a great contributor for The Daily Wire. Outside of that, though, the movie has been completely and

00:51:37.600 totally ignored by the media. Why haven't they watched it? It's not that they're panning it.

00:51:43.640 They're refusing to watch it. And why is it? Is it because they don't know about it, or they don't

00:51:48.560 have time to watch it, or just they don't think it's very important, or whatever? Well, they might

00:51:53.380 be able to make that claim if not for the fact that we sent the screener to media critics, and many of

00:51:59.240 them responded to the email that we sent them, telling us, in so many words, to go F ourselves.

00:52:04.520 Actually, in those words, exactly, in some cases. So let me read through a few of the responses that we

00:52:09.180 got from film critics. One says, unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe, unsubscribe,

00:52:15.420 continuing infinity. Another one says, unsubscribe, lose my email, forget my name.

00:52:20.700 Another one says, hard effing pass. I won't give that transphobic bigot a platform on my site.

00:52:25.680 Never email me again. Another hard pass. Another one says, absolutely effing not. He's a bigot. You

00:52:31.660 should be ashamed for associating with him. Another one, please remove me from your mailing list. I am not

00:52:37.940 interested in anything having to do with Matt Walsh. Another one says, big no thanks. Let's see. Yeah,

00:52:45.780 I'm not reviewing a film by a bigot, and if that's who you work with, you can take me off your list.

00:52:50.740 I won't be reviewing anything from you. Another one says, please don't send me anything else from

00:52:54.740 The Daily Wire. I'm not interested. And then we got a bunch of, this one was good. Okay, here's one

00:53:02.320 one says, hi, trans woman here. Just got your email inquiring if I wanted to review your Nazi

00:53:08.240 transphobic movie. In the future, please send requests like this to deeznuts at gmail.com. Now,

00:53:16.180 I don't think this person realizes that the last part of their email in the first part. Hi,

00:53:22.860 I'm a woman. Send the request to deeznuts. All right. And then another one says, take me off

00:53:31.740 your list. I'm not interested in covering content from fear-mongering people whose inquiries into

00:53:36.240 gender and identity are predicated on the basis of taking rights away from people in at-risk

00:53:40.000 communities and spreading misinformation for the sake of grabbing power and wielding it against

00:53:43.900 people. And then a bunch of others. I have no interest in covering this film or anything to do

00:53:49.980 with Matt Walsh. Please never email me again. Okay, so you get the idea. Now, you may hear all

00:53:55.260 that and think, well, of course they responded that way. And in one sense, you're right. I mean,

00:53:59.880 of course they did. But let's not allow them to hide behind the inevitability of their own cowardice

00:54:04.980 and intellectual dishonesty as if they're drawn up by the forces of fate and have no choice but to act

00:54:10.200 like a bunch of spineless little blobfish. The fact is that film critics in mass are declaring at the

00:54:16.460 outset that they simply will not even watch one of the most talked about films of the year so far

00:54:21.800 one audiences are raving about and which is indeed a legitimate and well-made piece of work. Well-made

00:54:26.400 thanks to our director and producer, not so much to me, but it is well-made. It's not unprecedented

00:54:32.400 for a film to be blackballed to this extent, but it is unusual. Because again, usually what they'll do

00:54:37.620 if they don't like the movie for political reasons is they'll just pan it. And this reveals once again

00:54:43.240 that our cultural gatekeepers are totally beholden to a certain ideological agenda.

00:54:48.580 This doesn't just extend to the people who create the culture, the people who make the film, shows,

00:54:52.600 music, etc. It also and especially extends to the people who decide which pieces of content in each

00:54:57.920 of those categories we ought to be consuming and engaging with. The left's cultural and institutional

00:55:03.420 domination works through multiple layers. They decide what's made and if someone manages to make

00:55:10.020 something that they don't approve of, then the gatekeepers and media can step in to make sure

00:55:14.520 that nobody hears about it. The good news is that these gatekeepers have become increasingly impotent

00:55:20.260 as we develop ways of getting around them. And one very effective way of getting around them is to do

00:55:25.020 exactly what we're doing here at The Daily Wire. Build our own institution slowly but surely and sustain

00:55:29.340 it with the support from the audience rather than making ourselves entirely beholden to advertisers,

00:55:35.240 investors, shareholders, and so on. And that's just another good reason to go to whatisawoman.com

00:55:40.180 and subscribe today if you haven't. One other point about the critical reaction to the film, or lack

00:55:44.400 thereof, is that it perfectly illustrates the point of the film itself. The left is terrified of the movie,

00:55:52.680 of the question, of the approach we took, the truth that we brought to bear. See, if they thought that

00:56:00.060 our film could be easily debunked, then they'd watch it and they'd debunk it. They love doing that.

00:56:06.920 You know, if they really thought it was a bunch of transphobic nonsense, as they claim,

00:56:10.420 then they would watch it and they would just, they would point out all of the nonsense in the movie.

00:56:15.880 If they really thought it was nothing but a bunch of ignorant bigotry,

00:56:19.000 they would delight in pointing out all the ways that such is the case.

00:56:24.100 They'd go through it with a fine-tooth comb. John Oliver would do a whole show dissecting it,

00:56:28.320 playing clips, making snarky comments. But he can't do that. None of them can.

00:56:34.640 Because there's no rescuing the people who made fools of themselves in the film. There's no

00:56:38.340 defending gender ideology in general. There's no way for them to answer the question without

00:56:43.320 destroying their own worldview in the process. Now, at some level, they know that the film is

00:56:48.300 successful in debunking gender ideology because at some level they know that gender ideology is a

00:56:53.320 flimsily constructed tower of Jenga blocks wobbling in the breeze and ready to fall over if just one

00:56:58.860 block is removed. And with our film, we're going for the block way at the base of the tower, the

00:57:03.160 other blocks are sitting on, which means that the tower is certain to topple. The left doesn't want

00:57:08.940 to be there to watch it happen for fear that it will fall directly on their heads. So they look the

00:57:12.980 other way, they run the other direction, they cover their eyes, they close their ears, hope that

00:57:16.500 eventually we all get bored and stop talking about the fact that their worldview is incoherent,

00:57:21.060 absurd and poisonous to civilization. But we're not going to stop, unfortunately for them.

00:57:27.380 And I have to say, I also enjoy the filmmaking process so much that I don't plan to stop doing

00:57:31.340 that either. It's pretty fun. I'll give the critics many more movies, which I'm sure that they will

00:57:37.120 pretend don't exist. They can do that all they want. They're still, I must say today, canceled.

00:57:45.820 And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day.
