Today on the Matt Wall Show, it's not enough to tolerate, accept, or even celebrate. The LGBT
00:00:04.200
left demands that you participate, which is why some Major League Baseball players are getting
00:00:08.620
backlash for not wearing an LGBT pride flag on their uniforms. We'll discuss also a lawmaker
00:00:14.080
in California now says he wants drag to be a mandatory curriculum requirement for children
00:00:19.260
in school. These groomer freaks are officially out of control. And a Hollywood actor gives a
00:00:23.440
speech about guns during the White House press briefing for some reason. Plus, the leftist DA
00:00:27.360
of San Francisco is recalled for turning his city into a crime-plagued wasteland. But will
00:00:32.480
liberal voters actually learn their lesson? I tend to doubt it. We'll talk about all that
00:00:45.880
You know, if you're thinking of buying a new home, it's in your best interest to act now. Review your
00:00:50.800
budget, start the pre-approval process, and get ahead of rising rates. Real estate will continue
00:00:55.060
to be a healthy investment if you're getting a competitive deal from a lender who cares. That's
00:00:58.680
why I recommend American Financing. It's America's home for home loans. Their salary-based mortgage
00:01:03.100
consultants can get your rate locked for up to 120 days, so you have time to shop without being at
00:01:08.120
risk of a higher rate. You're also going to get a custom loan that's designed around your needs.
00:01:12.700
I mean, it's really a no-pressure experience that's focused on you, and they never charge up front
00:01:17.800
or hidden fees. They make it worth your time to learn more, so you're saving money. You're also
00:01:22.680
not dealing with a lot of red tape. It's very easy to do, very convenient. All you got to do is give
00:01:27.180
them a call now at 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711. 866-569-4711. Or visit
00:01:35.540
AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org. You know, Seinfeld might be one of the most
00:01:43.780
overrated shows in history, but it did have moments of real resonance. For instance, there was a scene
00:01:48.940
in season seven that has proven to be downright prophetic. In the episode, Kramer decides to
00:01:53.840
participate in a charity AIDS walk to raise money and awareness about the disease, and the organizers
00:02:00.280
offer him a red AIDS ribbon to wear, but then he declines, doesn't wear the ribbon,
00:02:04.580
and they tell him that he has to wear the ribbon, and he says, well, that's why I don't want to wear
00:02:09.780
it, because you're telling me I have to. And soon he's surrounded by an angry lynch mob and beaten
00:02:14.500
senseless for his refusal to wear the crowd's chosen symbol. Heroically, though, he stands firm and is
00:02:20.420
made to pay the price for his insult against conformity. Now, as many people on social media
00:02:25.240
have pointed out, there are striking parallels between that scene and many things that happen
00:02:30.700
in modern society, but especially the situation playing out right now in Major League Baseball,
00:02:35.440
where five players on the Tampa Bay Rays are being condemned for not wearing the ribbon,
00:02:41.740
except the ribbon in this case is a gay pride logo. As ESPN reports, a number of Tampa Bay Rays
00:02:47.980
players decided not to wear rainbow-colored logos on their uniforms as part of the team's annual
00:02:53.280
Pride Night on Saturday that recognized the LGBTQ community. Among players who elected to remove
00:02:58.900
the logos were pitchers Jason Adam, Jalen Beeks, Brooks Raley, Jeffrey Springs, and Ryan Thompson,
00:03:09.280
according to the Tampa Bay Times. Adam was elected to speak for the group after the game, saying it
00:03:13.200
was a faith-based decision for many of them. He said, quote, so it's a hard decision, Adam told
00:03:18.660
the Tampa Bay Times, because ultimately we all said what we want is them to know that all are welcome
00:03:24.900
and loved here. But when we put it on our bodies, I think a lot of guys decided that it's just a
00:03:29.060
lifestyle that maybe, not that they look down on anybody or think differently, it's just that maybe
00:03:33.760
we don't want to encourage it if we believe in Jesus, who's encouraged us to live a lifestyle that would
00:03:38.540
abstain from that behavior. It's not judgmental, it's not looking down, it's just what we believe the
00:03:43.060
lifestyle he's encouraged us to live for our good not to withhold. But again, we love these men and
00:03:48.180
women, we care about them, and we want them to feel safe and welcome here. Now, there's nothing
00:03:55.380
in your face or confrontational here. I mean, he's going out of his way, I think way too far out of
00:04:00.000
his way, actually, to try to make clear that it's not judgmental, it's nothing like that. It's just
00:04:05.300
they simply don't want to wear a gay pride symbol on their bodies. Bodily autonomy, right? Well, we know
00:04:12.280
that's already out the window, because part of this, another trend of forcing people to wear things on
00:04:17.380
their bodies. And so we got rid of the masks now, but now you have to wear the rainbow. Maybe wear
00:04:21.500
that over your face, that's the next step. But why should they have to? I mean, why should this even
00:04:26.540
be an issue? Why should any baseball player be put in this position? They're playing baseball.
00:04:32.320
Why do we need athletes who aren't even gay to express gay pride? What does it even mean? I mean,
00:04:37.700
how can you express pride in a lifestyle that you don't even live? And if everyone else on the team
00:04:44.460
is wearing the stupid thing, does it matter if a few of them don't? Well, the answer is, of course,
00:04:50.440
yes. It matters a lot. The Alphabet Club demands total unanimous fealty and allegiance. Anything less
00:04:56.320
is an assault on their very existence. And so the inevitable outrage ensued, fueled as always by the
00:05:01.580
corporate media. Many headlines were feverishly published about this incident because five baseball
00:05:07.480
players not wearing a rainbow on their uniform is headline news now in America. A New York Times article
00:05:13.660
on the subject deserves special notice, I think. Here's the headline. This is what it says.
00:05:18.540
Rays players undercut pride nights by not wearing rainbow logos. This is like me accusing my Jewish
00:05:26.240
neighbor of undercutting Christmas by not having a giant inflatable Santa in his front yard.
00:05:31.800
Now, the writer Tyler Kepner explains, something was missing in the top of the eighth inning on Saturday
00:05:37.100
at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tampa Bay Rays used two relief pitchers that inning,
00:05:43.180
the left-handers Brooks Raley, or Brooks as I call them, and Jalen Beeks, who wore jerseys without a
00:05:49.420
patch on their right sleeve. This was not a manufacturer's error or an equipment manager's
00:05:54.460
mistake. The patch was the Rays' starburst emblem rendered in rainbow colors, like the TB logo on the
00:06:01.120
team's cap as part of the team's Pride Night promotion. Raley Beeks and a few other teammates chose
00:06:06.080
to wear caps and jerseys without the rainbow accents. Later, Kepner writes, without a hint of intentional
00:06:11.960
irony, he says that the Pride logos are supposed to represent, quote, unity without judgment.
00:06:18.640
And in the very next paragraph, he delights in the fact that the players without the patches,
00:06:23.240
according to him, performed poorly on the field and their team lost the game.
00:06:27.600
So, you deserve to lose for being judgmental, you worthless, ugly bigots.
00:06:32.880
Basically the message. We've certainly learned that we cannot expect these people to maintain a consistent
00:06:37.640
message from one sentence to the next, or even within the same sentence.
00:06:42.620
Other baseball players have hopped on the outrage bandwagon. A guy named Brian Ruby, who is openly gay,
00:06:48.980
complained to USA Today that he was offended and his tummy was very much hurt because five guys didn't
00:06:53.800
wear a rainbow. Ruby whined, saying, it always baffles me when guys use Jesus as their excuse to
00:06:59.580
discriminate. Like, wasn't Jesus the guy who preached love thy neighbor? This is about being a good
00:07:04.660
teammate. When guys go out of their way to make a point of opposing Pride night, they're sending a
00:07:09.060
clear message that people like me just aren't welcome in baseball. It's a reminder that even
00:07:13.400
on the one night we get to be proud of ourselves at the ballpark, we're all still second-class
00:07:18.360
citizens. It's as simple as that. You're a second-class citizen because someone's not wearing a rainbow
00:07:24.340
on their jersey, right? Go out of their way? Discriminate? Here's what happened. The team said to them,
00:07:32.140
hey, most of us are going to wear these ugly rainbows celebrating the gay lifestyle for some
00:07:36.420
reason. You should wear one too. And they said, no, thank you. And that was it. They didn't have to go
00:07:42.760
out of their way. They were simply, like, they continued going the same way they'd always been
00:07:46.420
going, and it's you who has to go out of your way to be offended by it. Many people on the left are,
00:07:53.440
as always, as they like to say, willing to put in the work when it comes to getting offended,
00:07:57.740
including even in Congress, where Congressman Ted Lieu condemned Jason Adam, one of the players,
00:08:03.020
for citing Christianity as his excuse to not wear the pride flag. Lieu tweeted,
00:08:07.240
Jesus is about love, not about hating people who are different from you.
00:08:12.400
Yes, because if you aren't wearing a gay pride symbol on your body at all times,
00:08:16.620
you hate gay people. Though I must note that Ted Lieu himself does not often wear gay pride symbols.
00:08:23.460
Why does Ted Lieu hate gay people? Very troubling. But of all the shrill harpies shrieking over the
00:08:30.120
fact that a few guys didn't have a rainbow on their uniform, none can out shrill or out shriek
00:08:35.300
sports reporter Sarah Spain, who spoke out about the issue on ESPN earlier this week. And you just
00:08:41.980
have to hear this for yourself. Listen. Pride is about inclusion. So you don't love them and you
00:08:47.680
don't welcome them if you're not willing to wear the patch. Okay, I got to just stop it there for just
00:08:52.400
one second. Because you don't love them and you don't welcome them if you aren't willing to wear
00:08:57.640
the patch. That is literally from Seinfeld. I mean, she is almost verbatim recreating the Seinfeld
00:09:03.240
scene with that statement. Leftists continue to break out beyond the bounds of parody. And it doesn't
00:09:10.260
get any better from there, but let's keep listening. And calling it a lifestyle reveals to me that you've
00:09:15.620
done not even a modicum of research or understanding on this topic. It's what tends to happen when a
00:09:20.840
privileged class isn't affected by things. This is not just about baseball. That religious
00:09:25.060
exemption BS, which is used in sport and otherwise, also allows for people to be denied health
00:09:30.080
care, jobs, apartments, children, prescriptions, all sorts of rights. And so we have to stop
00:09:37.240
tiptoeing around it because we're trying to protect people who are trying to be bigoted from asking for
00:09:42.000
them to be exempt from it when the very people that they are bigoted against are suffering the
00:09:46.260
consequences. When you say trying to be bigoted. They're trying to use religious exemptions to
00:09:53.580
affect the opportunities, services, available resources for people who are LGBTQ+.
00:10:01.140
You see all those guys there. I mean, they're even worse than her because they're all just sitting
00:10:06.420
there, including the moderator here. What she's saying is complete nonsense and they know it, but
00:10:13.140
they're like, well, you know, slight skepticism on their face, but they're too afraid to say that
00:10:18.380
is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You, ma'am, have set back female sports reporters 50 years with
00:10:25.840
this, with everything you just said there. Dear God, woman. That's what they should say, what they want
00:10:30.300
to say, but they're not going to say it. Religious exemption from wearing a patch and not wearing the patch
00:10:39.620
will affect the opportunities and resources of LGBT people. What? So there are LGBT people today
00:10:46.020
who are trying to, what, rent an apartment, but the rental agency is saying, sorry, folks, Jason Adam
00:10:50.980
of the Tampa Bay Rays didn't wear a rainbow on his jersey on Sunday. Therefore, you can't have an
00:10:55.520
apartment because you're gay. Is that how this works? Also note, by the way, how she said that denied
00:11:02.360
children. I think that was very, very revealing also. You know, they're denied health care,
00:11:06.820
denied apartments. They're denied children. Now, forgetting about the fact that we're trying
00:11:11.140
to connect this to a rainbow pride patch, the way, and what she means by that is like an
00:11:17.080
adoption. So she talks about children like they're just another sort of product that somebody
00:11:22.780
might want. Brother, you're denied children. You know, because you go to the store and you
00:11:28.000
buy some shoes. Man, you get some children. That's how she sees it, as a sort of commodity.
00:11:35.680
Anyway, this is total delusional, hysterical nonsense coming from somebody who, while accusing
00:11:43.500
others of tiptoeing around, is actually tiptoeing around her own point and true agenda. What she
00:11:47.900
wants to say and what she believes is that there must be total conformity to her worldview. No other
00:11:54.060
worldview should exist. And if any others do exist, they should subordinate themselves to her worldview.
00:11:59.740
And in her worldview, there is a hierarchy of identities. And the alphabet club is at the top
00:12:05.520
of the totem pole. You must show deference and submission to them. You must even express pride
00:12:11.600
in their sexual proclivities. You have to sit back and be filled with pride. I'm so proud of you.
00:12:20.120
I'm so proud of you for being gay. What does that even mean? Well, nobody knows, but that's what you
00:12:26.320
have to do. Here's the flight path of progressivism. It's important to understand how it works, okay?
00:12:32.640
This is how it always goes. It would have been nice if everybody picked up on this like 30 years ago,
00:12:37.700
but let's pick up on it now, okay? So first, they demand tolerance. And then they say tolerance is
00:12:44.500
not enough. They demand acceptance. Acceptance and tolerance are not the same. They're often lumped
00:12:48.480
together. They're not the same. You can tolerate something simply by not interfering with it, right?
00:12:53.380
You're just allowing it to exist. But if you accept it, then you're affirming it. You're agreeing to it.
00:13:01.360
This is why we might say that somebody accepts an offer or accepts an answer. They're receiving it
00:13:07.800
affirmatively. They're agreeing to it. But acceptance is not enough either. Next, they say that you must do
00:13:14.720
more than tolerate. You must do more than accept. You must celebrate. They need you to pick up the
00:13:20.300
pom-poms and stand on the sideline and cheer. You have to give standing ovations. You have to clap for
00:13:25.820
them until your hands are raw, like the sort of scenes we see out of North Korea where throngs of
00:13:30.680
dead-eyed people are forced to applaud uproariously for dear leader while someone holds a gun to their head
00:13:35.680
just off camera. But even that is not enough. The final stage, okay, the stage that we're in right
00:13:43.940
now as a culture, stage four, is participation. It's not enough to tolerate or to accept or to
00:13:52.560
celebrate. Now we must actively participate. Put down the pom-poms. You're in the game now, sport, okay?
00:13:58.620
You're playing. Wear the patch. Wave the flag. Use the pronoun. You must be an eager and convincing
00:14:06.040
participant. Forced conversion. Mandatory baptism into the religious cult. That's the final step.
00:14:15.320
Now, if you submit to the first step, you will be taken all the way to the final step by sheer
00:14:19.860
inertia. That's why the only answer that you should give when the left comes along and starts making
00:14:26.820
demands is to just say no, okay, and to keep saying no, and to never give them an inch.
00:14:34.740
The only mistake these five players made was in providing an explanation for their refusal. I mean,
00:14:40.600
they should be commended for refusing. It takes courage. It shouldn't take courage, but it does.
00:14:45.540
But to explain is to agree that your choice requires a defense. It doesn't. The burden of
00:14:54.380
explanation is on the other side. They must explain to you why you should wear the patch.
00:15:01.060
What pressing urgent need is there for it? What good thing will be achieved? Why are you asking me
00:15:07.580
to do this? Explain yourself and make it snappy. I'm running out of patience. This is the way it's
00:15:13.880
supposed to work, not the other way around. When the left is constantly coming around and saying,
00:15:17.580
oh, here's this new thing we should do. And then people on the other side are frantically trying
00:15:23.560
to explain, well, I don't think I should be able to do it. No, no. This is your idea. You explain it
00:15:30.280
to me. You defend yourself. You're on the hook. Give me an explanation. Explain yourself. Oh, you can't?
00:15:35.580
You're stuttering and muttering. You can't even explain? Then get the hell out of my face, please.
00:15:38.820
Please leave me alone. Why should I wear the damn patch? What exactly is it? Because LGBT people need
00:15:47.740
to rent apartments and have health care. What does that have to do with the patch? Oh, you can't
00:15:51.500
explain that. Get out of my face. They can't explain themselves. They can't explain anything. As I
00:15:58.080
discovered in my film, What is a Woman? Which you can find at whatisawoman.com. They simply make
00:16:02.740
demands and they expect that you'll go along. So learn to say no and say it loud and say it often.
00:16:21.800
You know, life happens fast and it can end even faster. It's a morbid way to start. You picture
00:16:27.980
yourself living to a ripe old age, but it doesn't always work out that way. Uh, you could die any
00:16:33.380
moment. You could die right now. You could walk outside right now and get hit by a bus. Okay. Death
00:16:37.880
is lurking around the corner. And if it hits you, you got to have a plan in place. Otherwise, the state,
00:16:43.040
the people you hate, the people who are going to try to indoctrinate your kids, take your gun, steal your
00:16:46.700
freedom, they're going to step in and take control of your assets when you're gone. They're going to
00:16:50.960
determine what legacy you leave behind. So don't let the state decide what happens to your
00:16:54.360
children. Should something happen to you, which again could happen at any moment, uh, the veil
00:16:59.480
keeping you from one world to the next is very, very thin. So don't let the state decide, um, who
00:17:04.660
gets your useless NFTs or comic books. Instead, take five minutes and set up a will through Epic
00:17:09.440
Will starting at just $119. You choose who raises your kids. You choose who gets your crap after you've
00:17:14.660
gone because you don't get to choose when you die because it could again happen anytime. Here's what
00:17:19.400
I want you to do. Go to epicwill.com and use promo code Walsh. You'll get a 10% discount on Epic

00:17:39.240
If you really want to wear a patch, which shows your virtue and what a good person you are,
00:17:45.520
then don't wear the rainbow patch. Go to dailywire.com and to the Matt Walsh store. And we
00:17:51.040
have our patch program. We have all kinds of Matt Walsh show patches, including a what is a woman
00:17:55.480
patch that you could pick up now. And I'm, I'm thinking, do we have a virtue signal? I think
00:18:00.140
we need a patch that actually, cause this is what this is all about. I mean, we can kind of cover
00:18:03.940
everything all at once. So maybe there, maybe we should get a patch that just says, I don't know,
00:18:08.040
just says virtue on it or something or virtue signal. We just need, we could like sort of cover all
00:18:12.100
the bases. And then if anyone ever does come along and say, oh, you need to wear a rainbow patch.
00:18:16.360
Then you could say, no, no, no. I got the virtue patch. I got a virtue. It's just,
00:18:19.040
that covers all the stuff. Any, whatever the current thing is, I already got it.
00:18:24.000
Current thing patch. Maybe we'll work it out. We need something like that. Okay.
00:18:27.520
Thinking on our feet here. Um, so we just talked about the flight path, the trajectory, right? The,
00:18:34.760
the process tolerate, accept, celebrate, participate. Okay. Like burn, let's burn that into our,
00:18:40.700
our minds. That's the way it always goes. Tolerate, accept, celebrate, participate. So here it is
00:18:47.060
again. Okay. From the post-millennial, it says in response to a Texas state representative announcing
00:18:51.740
that he will file legislation to ban drag shows from having children in their audience,
00:18:56.660
California state Senator Scott Weiner proposed offering drag queen curriculum in schools.
00:19:03.640
Responding to a tweet from representative Brian Slayton of Texas, in which he announced the
00:19:07.620
legislation. Weiner wrote, and it's just, I mean, the fact that his name is Weiner is, it's just
00:19:14.240
so perfect. He said, uh, this guy just gave me a bill idea offering drag queen one-on-one as part of
00:19:21.520
the K through 12 curriculum. Attending drag queen story time will satisfy the requirements.
00:19:29.160
Okay. Now you might think that you see the tweet there. You might think this is slightly tongue in
00:19:34.700
cheek. And even if it is, it's still, uh, horrifying and disgusting. And this guy's a
00:19:41.020
groomer scumbag, but Oh no, this is not a joke. This is not a joke from this guy. He will introduce
00:19:47.560
that legislation. And we'll have more examples of other legislation that he's introduced before
00:19:51.780
just to, just to show you that, you know, he could put his money where his mouth is. In fact,
00:19:55.240
well, we'll continue. It says in 2020, Weiner author authored a bill that would end discrimination
00:20:00.260
against LGBT people, quote unquote, by providing exemptions from the sex offender registry. The
00:20:06.620
bill SB 145 made exemptions for people who are convicted of certain offenses. As long as the
00:20:11.860
person convicted is no more than 10 years older than the minor with the minor being no younger than
00:20:15.800
14. Uh, this bill would exempt from mandatory registration under the act, a person convicted
00:20:21.320
of certain offenses involving minors. If the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor.
00:20:25.740
And if that offense is the only one requiring person, the person to register. Um,
00:20:32.140
and there were some other ones as well. More recently, Weiner author author, author a bill
00:20:38.520
that would authorize the creation of safe consumption sites within cities and counties.
00:20:44.100
Um, so that's another one is the bill where people can go and use drugs. Also Weiner alongside
00:20:49.540
fellow state Senator Todd Gloria authored a bill that passed back in 2017 that removes federal
00:20:54.880
penalties and prison time for people that knowingly expose a sexual partner to HIV.
00:21:01.920
So prior to, uh, Weiner coming along, he was, um, unfortunate phrasing there prior to this guy.
00:21:11.160
It was, it was illegal in the state of California as it still is. I think at least in some states in
00:21:16.880
the country, it should be in every state to knowingly infect somebody with HIV. As in,
00:21:20.880
if you have sex with somebody and you're HIV positive, you have a legal responsibility to
00:21:26.400
tell them ahead of time. Of course, that should be the law. Um, but now thanks to Weiner, you can
00:21:34.820
intentionally and knowingly infect somebody with HIV and it's not a crime. So that's where,
00:21:41.920
that's where this guy's coming from. And that's why when he says that he's going to make a bill
00:21:46.260
requiring mandatory drag queen classes for children. Oh, he'll do it.
00:21:52.660
And I repeat what I said yesterday that, um, I very much welcome Democrats making this their new
00:22:01.500
cause. Okay. I don't, I don't welcome these kinds of classes in public school.
00:22:08.680
Of course, though, honestly, I mean, if you're in California, living in California, number one,
00:22:16.400
and number two, you're in California and you have your kids in public school in California,
00:22:19.940
then, uh, I mean, what do you, what do you expect? Like the, just that's, that's almost inexcusable
00:22:28.520
at this point. But what I, what I welcome and what I want is for the Democrats to explicitly come out
00:22:37.340
to say what they already think, what we know they think, which is that this is a good thing
00:22:42.800
and, uh, to circle the wagons around it so that everybody else can see another, another great mask
00:22:48.560
off moment for the left. So that all the normal people out there, however many still exist,
00:22:54.880
can see this and like, you can decide, do you really, is this, is this what you want? Is this
00:22:59.800
what you believe in? You want to vote for people, support people who think that we should
00:23:05.480
mix drag queens and kids? Another part of the process, aside from tolerate, accept, celebrate,
00:23:14.220
participate. The other thing that you find is, um, there's this kind of stages of denial or how
00:23:21.040
denial kind of morphs into defense. So, um, that's the other thing we always see with the left.
00:23:26.860
So first, when it came to this, you know, drag queens and kids, originally they said,
00:23:30.960
ah, it's not really happening. That's a, it's a, it's not, it's not happening. That's,
00:23:35.180
that's not really a thing. This is all a, you know, it's a, it's a right-wing conspiracy theory.
00:23:40.240
Hey, there might be a few examples of it, but it, that's, that's very, very rare. And it's a,
00:23:45.100
you know, it's not a big deal. It's not really happening. And then how quickly we go from that to,
00:23:50.640
oh, it is happening, but it's good. It's not happening. Okay. It is happening, but it's good.
00:23:59.500
And then that goes to, it is happening. It's good. Oh, and it's mandatory. So we go from not
00:24:07.100
happening to mandatory and that thing, and that can, um, that progress process can play out very
00:24:12.460
quickly. That can happen within the span of like hours. Okay. And I think we're going to see that here
00:24:20.500
because, um, the left has been ramping up as we've been covering on this show. Lives of TikTok
00:24:26.020
on Twitter has been, um, doing a lot of work to reveal this. This is a, an increasing trend now
00:24:31.020
on the left of, uh, drag queens and kids. And the worst iteration of that, the most evil form of
00:24:38.720
course, is when the kid is actually enlisted to be the drag queen. So here's something lives of TikTok
00:24:45.960
head. Um, this is, I still don't know where, I'm not sure if we know where this happened,
00:24:51.480
but some kind of bar, we have adults cheering on, uh, for a child drag queen. Let's see this for
00:25:01.960
just a moment. Let me tell you, one of the fiercest performers yet. You guys haven't seen
00:25:08.840
that yet. Please give it up for the one, the only, King of Queens!
00:25:22.320
Okay. So you can see that that is an actual child that we're talking about.
00:25:25.620
I can't even watch this. All right, you can turn it off.
00:25:34.420
I mean, that's the kind of thing you have to see it because if you don't see it, then you won't
00:25:39.780
believe it. But I think there's still a lot of people, if you told them that this is happening,
00:25:45.480
that child drag queens are dancing for, for adults at gay clubs. You told that to say it's an average
00:25:54.640
person on the street, they're going to say, it's not, they're not going to believe you.
00:25:56.860
They're not going to believe it's happening. And that's why the work that, you know, accounts
00:26:01.780
like lives of TikTok are doing. That's why it's important to see this is actually happening. This
00:26:05.360
is a real thing. Okay. And it's not just a couple of instant incidents. It's, it's happening all over
00:26:11.360
the place. This is basically, this is, you know, this is, this is Baka Bazi. Okay. Which is,
00:26:19.900
which is Afghanistan. And a lot of our veterans who spent time in Afghanistan, unfortunately
00:26:25.160
confronted this and were very, made very much aware of this, of this tradition in the culture
00:26:33.580
among, among the men in Afghanistan, Baka Bazi or quote unquote dancing boys. And that's where
00:26:39.460
men in Afghanistan will sit around and they'll watch little boys dressed up as girls dancing for them.
00:26:47.680
And then of course, there's a lot of sexual abuse and child rape that happens as well.
00:26:53.260
Which by the way is, is, you know, kind of redundant to even say that because the event
00:26:58.800
itself is child sexual abuse already. And you hear about that in Afghanistan. I remember hearing
00:27:06.220
about that for the first time when we first went into Afghanistan. And in this country, people were
00:27:12.460
horrified. And you had veterans coming home from Afghanistan traumatized by having witnessed it,
00:27:20.260
especially witnessed it. And they're not allowed to do anything about it. They're being instructed
00:27:24.300
by their higher ups that they can't stop it. Coming home traumatized because of that. And then
00:27:30.600
what do you know, 15 years later, same damn thing is happening here. And it's being defended
00:27:36.860
in the mainstream. By leftists and Democrats. And let them defend it. Defend it, defend it loudly,
00:27:49.700
loud and proud. Come on, you just come out, come out and give us, give us your argument.
00:27:55.560
By the way, this is the same thing. Remember I said that when they propose something,
00:27:59.100
it's up to them to explain it and defend it. Okay. You have to force them to do it
00:28:04.780
because they're playing the same game with this, by the way, there was, um, I've seen a lot of this
00:28:12.320
on Twitter. And one example is a Charlotte climber, who I think works for one of these, a human rights
00:28:19.800
campaign or one of the, one of these radical trans LGBT organizations, militant and, uh, posing the
00:28:25.660
question of, uh, well, I, I really don't, I'm not sure. I don't understand why it's so wrong to mix
00:28:30.900
children and drag queens. Could someone explain to me why it's wrong? So we've heard that a lot from
00:28:37.200
the left, people with platforms, prominent people saying, Oh, I'm open to, to understanding why you
00:28:45.200
guys object to it, but why don't you explain it? Okay. We shouldn't need to explain it and we don't
00:28:51.400
have to explain it. That should be, if it's not immediately obvious to you why it's wrong,
00:28:56.780
then that says something very troubling about you. But also let me flip that around, around. Um,
00:29:02.580
you are the one proposing this. You're the one, it's your side, introducing this into the culture.
00:29:09.360
You explain why we need to do it. Okay. You, you give us the defense of it. What's good about it?
00:29:15.680
Why do kids need this? Kids are getting, we're getting along just fine. They're, they're just
00:29:20.920
being kids. They're playing, they're using their imaginations. They're living, you know, innocent
00:29:24.840
childlike lives as they should. You're coming along and saying, Oh, you know what they need? They need
00:29:29.620
drag. So that's up to you to defend and explain, which you can't do, um, so far, or at least the
00:29:40.540
defense is not anything that you'll say out loud because the real reason that you want to do it is,
00:29:44.500
is that you have an actual agenda to sexualize children. You don't want to say that out loud
00:29:48.820
yet. Anyway. All right. This is from the daily wire. It says San Francisco voters sent shockwaves
00:29:53.960
throughout the political world Tuesday night, removing woke district attorney Chessa Bodine
00:29:57.760
from office, uh, ending his disastrous tenure in office. Bodine, uh, could not overcome a coalition
00:30:03.960
of more safety minded Democrats, Republicans, and independents who are furious over the rampant
00:30:07.580
property crimes, open drug use, persistent retail theft, and skyrocketing number of certain crimes.
00:30:12.700
The wall street journal reported voters strongly endorsed ousting the reform minded DA as partial
00:30:18.380
returns showed about 60% of voters supporting the recall. Um, since Bodine took office in January of
00:30:24.980
2020, burglaries have risen 45% and homicides have increased almost 40%, 37%. That is, that's about as
00:30:36.160
much damage as you could possibly do in two years. If you're trying to do as much damage as you possibly
00:30:43.860
can, that's the most I think you could do. And, and he is trying, he was trying a 45% increase in
00:30:52.920
property crimes, almost 40% increase in murders. And you know, I, I was in Sanford, we were in San
00:31:00.220
Francisco shooting the film. It was actually my first time ever being in San Francisco and I don't
00:31:05.660
plan on going back anytime soon. And there's a, you know, that's one thing about these places in
00:31:10.260
California, including San Francisco. It's just tragic to see what's happened to these cities and
00:31:16.980
to these regions of the country. Tragic in general, but also because it's, it's still so geographically
00:31:23.240
beautiful and, um, you can still go out, you know, to the coast and it's a, it's a beautiful sight
00:31:31.000
when you're looking out, you know, if you can, cause now you have your back on all of the feces
00:31:35.860
on the ground and the homeless encampments and the people shooting up heroin needles lying on the
00:31:39.980
street. You turn your back on that and just look out to the ocean. It looks quite beautiful.
00:31:43.040
And we are wasting this, this beauty on, on what has become of San Francisco.
00:31:55.100
It's quite tragic. And I can remember being there walking around and I, I kind of, you know, I didn't,
00:32:00.860
this is another reason why you have to kind of, you have to see it for yourself. Uh, I had heard all
00:32:04.560
the reports about how these cities that were run by these Soros DAs have turned into third world
00:32:10.300
countries. And I, part of me thought, well, it might be a slight exaggeration. Walking through San
00:32:16.220
Francisco, driving through it, it is not an exaggeration. It is a hellscape. It is dystopian.
00:32:23.180
And that is thanks entirely to these progressive left-wing policies.
00:32:29.760
And that is because left-wing policies make people's lives worse
00:32:35.600
in very obvious, direct ways. If you are living under the boot of a, of, of a leftist,
00:32:46.560
your life is going to be worse. You're going to be less prosperous, less safe, less healthy,
00:32:53.520
um, not as happy in general. And that's, that's the difference. Left-wing policies,
00:33:02.320
everybody can see how it hurts them. Very direct, very immediate. They're making your life worse
00:33:10.020
and they're doing it on purpose. And voters, you know, they'll rebel against, you know, this
00:33:17.980
individual, this DA, we got to get rid of him. He's made our life worse. But oftentimes the voters
00:33:23.480
in these cities, they, they still don't, they don't connect the dots. They don't add two plus two.
00:33:27.600
And so they're still going to vote for more Democrats and just keep voting for Democrats.
00:33:34.200
They vote for a Democrat, makes their life worse. And they say, oh, that Democrat was bad. Let's
00:33:37.860
vote for another one. Uh, their life gets even worse. Oh, okay. Well, he's no good. Let's get
00:33:41.520
another one. Life gets even worse. And they just never quite understand. Um, as opposed to on the
00:33:50.160
right, you know, the left says that living under right-wing supposed right-wing policies will make
00:33:56.620
your life worse, but they have to do a lot of work to convince you that your life has been made
00:34:02.380
worse. That's the interesting thing. All of the, um, consequences of living under conservative
00:34:09.560
policies, you don't really see them. And so they have to do marches in the street and wear the
00:34:14.620
handmade costumes, right? And, uh, and just tell you, no, no, no, this is terrible. Don't you see how
00:34:20.020
terrible things are? We have to walk around in our handmade costumes. Well, no, you don't have to walk
00:34:24.640
around and that you're choosing to. Well, yes, but it represents something simple. What does it
00:34:28.720
represent? Women are being oppressed by these policies. How? But you're, you said you're being
00:34:35.580
oppressed. You're out here protesting. That doesn't seem like if you're being oppressed, doesn't seem
00:34:39.300
like you'd be allowed to do that. So there's a lot of effort they have to go through to convince you
00:34:46.020
that your life has been made worse by conservative policies, because in fact, your life is not made worse
00:34:49.680
better. Whereas on the right, we have the advantage of, we don't have to convince you of anything. We
00:34:55.440
don't have to convince you that your life has been damaged by left-wing policies. All we have to
00:34:59.820
say is just look out your front, look out your window, walk down the street. That's all you have
00:35:03.460
to do. It's right there in front of you. All right, let's move to this. Joy Reid of MSNBC had some
00:35:12.160
great wisdom and insight on gun violence, as always. We always look to Joy Reid for wisdom and
00:35:17.080
she's happy to provide it. So let's listen to her. Definitely not online where anger and alienation
00:35:22.680
and fear just feast on places like 4chan and 8chan. And they know it. And Rupert Murdoch's
00:35:28.360
marionettes are pulling those themes right onto their primetime shows. Republicans have literally
00:35:33.440
made bringing Trump and his dangerous paranoid style back onto Twitter into a political rallying
00:35:38.300
cry. And okay, set aside ideological or emotional safety. We're not allowed to feel physically safe
00:35:44.020
anywhere in America. Thanks to Republicans' ironclad partnership with the blood-soaked
00:35:48.320
NRA, which long ago quit the gun safety business and has been working for decades to ensure that
00:35:54.020
the most lethal arms get into as many alienated 18 and 19-year-old incel hands as possible so that
00:36:01.140
we can't feel safe at Walmart, at the supermarket, at Bible study or church service, at the salon,
00:36:07.660
at the hospital, if God forbid some guy gets mad at his doctor for not giving him opioids,
00:36:12.260
at a nightclub, at a concert, even at a funeral, or at school, whether you're in high school or
00:36:19.560
you're 10 and in the fourth grade. In America, and only in America, you are literally rolling the dice.
00:36:30.240
Perfect illustration of what we just talked about. Trying to convince us. So she's trying to convince
00:36:34.740
us that conservative policies, and I say conservative policies, but really in this case,
00:36:38.800
we're just talking about constitutional policies. So kind of one in the same. Those policies of
00:36:45.040
respecting your God-given rights to self-defense, respecting the second amendment, trying to convince
00:36:51.660
us that it makes our lives worse. And so she's listing all the places where you're unsafe because
00:36:57.060
of the NRA and because of gun rights. And of course, the places that almost all the places that she
00:37:03.160
listed, statistically, you are still quite safe in all those places, statistically. Doesn't mean you're
00:37:09.780
100% safe. Doesn't mean nothing bad will ever happen. But statistically, if you go to Walmart
00:37:17.460
in a suburban neighborhood, and you go to Walmart every day your entire life, and you're almost
00:37:24.660
certainly not going to be the victim of some kind of mass shooting in the process.
00:37:28.740
So she's listing all these places. What's the one place she doesn't list? These are all the
00:37:34.500
places where you can't feel safe just walking around. The one place she doesn't list is where
00:37:40.640
almost all of the gun violence happens, which is in the inner city, in all the cities that are run by
00:37:47.060
Democrats. So trying to convince us, oh, you're not safe here. You're not safe there. You're not safe
00:37:52.460
there. You know where you're actually not safe is walking down the street in one of these cities
00:37:57.140
where, again, almost all of the gun violence happens. Got to overlook that.
00:38:06.020
Well, speaking of gun violence, we heard from Joy Reid. We also heard yesterday, for some reason,
00:38:10.360
from Matthew McConaughey. Now, I haven't actually looked into this. I don't even, I'm not sure what
00:38:17.000
the reason was, like the ostensible reason for bringing Matthew McConaughey for a White House
00:38:24.720
press briefing to talk about guns. I know the actual reason. The reason is that he's a celebrity.
00:38:29.680
And so, oh, listen to him. He's a celebrity. But he was up there giving a little speech about
00:38:37.220
Families of the deceased, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, Texas Rangers, hunters, border patrol,
00:38:42.620
and responsible gun owners who won't give up their Second Amendment right to bear arms.
00:38:47.140
And you know what they all said? We want secure and safe schools and we want gun laws that won't
00:38:53.020
make it so easy for the bad guys to get these damn guns. So, we know it's on the table.
00:39:04.240
We need to invest in mental health care. We need safer schools. We need to restrain sensationalized
00:39:11.340
media coverage. We need to restore our family values.
00:39:18.720
Thanks. Thanks for that, McConaughey. So, I looked it up. Okay. So, he's from Uvalde, Texas. And that's
00:39:24.040
why, that's why he's giving a speech at the White House press conference. Because he's from Uvalde.
00:39:31.740
Why him, though? Why not just pull any random, go to the gas station, just pull somebody and say,
00:39:35.360
hey, you want to give a speech at the White House press conference? You're from here.
00:39:37.100
They would have just as much, if not more, credibility than Matthew McConaughey.
00:39:44.180
So, let's listen to him, to Matthew McConaughey, because he is very good at pretending to be
00:39:50.720
people. That's his resume. That's his qualification. That's why he's at the White House press briefing,
00:39:59.080
live national television, because, listen to this guy, he's very good at pretending.
00:40:08.720
Not that what we hear from official White House sources is any better. We did also hear eventually
00:40:14.180
from Karen Jean-Pair, the new White House press secretary. And she was asked about, as we got
00:40:19.780
away from guns, talking about the economy. And she says that, actually, your eyes are deceiving you.
00:40:26.880
What we're trying to say, what I'm trying to say to you, is that the economy is in a better place
00:40:33.380
than it has been historically. And so, we feel here at this administration, and other experts as
00:40:38.860
well, is that we feel that we are in a good position to take on inflation.
00:40:43.280
Yeah, it's good. You feel like you're suffering, but you're actually not. Everything is fine.
00:40:50.560
The economy is better than it has been historically. I love the phrasing there.
00:40:55.040
It's so broad and open-ended. Then it has been historically. So, what she's saying is that
00:40:59.340
there's at least one other point in American history where the economy has been worse. In order for that
00:41:05.540
statement to be true, you just need, then it has been historically. In order for that to be true,
00:41:09.140
you just need to, there to be one other occasion in American history when the economy was worse than
00:41:13.660
this. And then you could say, well, it's better than it has been historically.
00:41:19.940
So, if we're in better shape than we were, let's say, right in the height of the Civil War or
00:41:25.020
something, then, oh, yeah, we're better off than we have been historically. All right, I want to move
00:41:31.160
to this before we get to the comment section. I cannot neglect to mention this story. Some topless
00:41:37.560
pro-abortion feminists protested during a WNBA game last night, protested over abortion.
00:41:44.780
I think it was very nice of them to stage this protest in a forum where nobody would see it.
00:41:51.140
And now we're going to see it, though, because I'm going to play it. So, let's play some of the
00:41:56.560
Oh, they are running around the court. No shirt on. Security tracked them down.
00:42:13.560
That is, I got to say, that's the most athleticism I've ever seen on a WNBA court.
00:42:18.400
Mostly because I've never seen a WNBA court. I didn't even know they played on a court. That's
00:42:24.360
the honest truth. I thought that they just play. They pick somebody's driveway for each game and
00:42:27.260
they played there. I didn't. So, that's great. That's a good job, ladies. You get a whole court
00:42:31.620
to yourself. I mean, literally get it to yourself, you know, because no one's there. It was pretty
00:42:37.160
rude of the protesters, honestly. I mean, the fan in the audience didn't pay to see that.
00:42:43.560
Actually, he really didn't pay to see it. He paid to see an Imagine Dragons concert and went to the
00:42:47.300
wrong stadium and then was kind of stuck there, from what I understand, according to reports.
00:42:52.980
I've read, actually, that this is interesting, that after that disruption,
00:42:56.760
they decided not to start the game back up because the ref said there was just no point,
00:43:01.680
you know, and plus he was hungry and wanted to eat dinner. And so, they just kind of ended it.
00:43:05.340
Didn't matter anyway. It's a WNBA game. So, anyway, that's what happened there. Let's move now to
00:43:12.220
Who makes Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
00:43:17.300
Henry Cross says, to be real honest, I thought the groomer mob would have already successfully
00:43:30.840
taken down Matt's Twitter account. I thought there was no way his account would have survived
00:43:34.380
the release of this film, but it did and it wowed me. So, here's to scrappy, resilient Matt.
00:43:39.600
Cheers. I am with you in being stunned by that reality also. I didn't think, I didn't know if
00:43:47.980
any of my social media platforms would survive. I don't want to, you know, I don't want to count my
00:43:51.720
chickens before they hatch. And, but, yeah, I am a little bit surprised, but it's not for lack of
00:43:59.960
trying. I mean, they have been mass reporting all of my accounts for days and days and days.
00:44:05.680
And yet, I remain. Now, I say that I expected to get deplatformed and all that, not because I'm
00:44:11.080
breaking the rules on these social media platforms, but just because, you know, the rule, we know what
00:44:16.840
the real rule is, is that if you're a conservative, then they're going to do what they can to get rid
00:44:20.540
of you. So, we'll see. Johnny said, Johnny Hollywood says, I got fired from a waiter job at a real nice
00:44:26.080
hotel chain because HR overheard a joke I made with two other males about my penis and I lost my job when
00:44:32.540
the joke was repeated back to me in writing. And that's never good, by the way, to hear the joke
00:44:39.720
repeated back to you in writing. I think, first of all, you lose a lot of the, it's just, that's not
00:44:44.640
the context for a joke. I think it loses something in translation. And you said it was documented so
00:44:50.460
that the witch really does have power. It's insane. Yeah, well, this is, this is what a lot of
00:44:57.100
these HR departments, corporate HR departments do. They, I mean, that's why we heard from the one
00:45:01.660
HR woman in that video, the Wicked Witch of the West. She was delighting in the fact. I mean,
00:45:08.600
she said, she wasn't just speaking for herself. She said that, hey, we in HR were a bunch of women
00:45:13.500
and were angry and we hate you. And everyone watching that video who's worked in the corporate
00:45:19.520
world, you know, you see that, you think, well, yeah, I know, I've noticed. Your whole existence
00:45:24.920
is just to find reasons to make my life harder. And hopefully, if you can, get rid of me.
00:45:34.680
Let's see. Mike says, imagine being so insecure in your identity that you feel very,
00:45:40.040
your very existence is threatened by a documentary made by a high school educated,
00:45:43.920
flannel wearing podcast host. I know. Exactly. Exactly. Um, I have never, I tell you, I'm a
00:45:51.640
documentary. I'm a fan of documentaries. Um, so it's so thrilling to now be able to call myself a
00:45:57.500
documentarian myself, identify that way. And I have never, I've seen documentaries I didn't like.
00:46:03.440
Um, I've seen documentaries I disagreed with. I have never felt physically assaulted by a documentary.
00:46:09.080
Um, I've never screamed out in pain because I thought that I was going to die watching the
00:46:18.220
documentary. I've never been watching a documentary and then felt like that's, uh, like back to the
00:46:24.080
future where, you know, he's, he's looking at the photograph and the images of his family is like
00:46:29.560
slowly disappearing. I never, I never looked down at myself and just watched myself slowly disappear
00:46:34.040
as my existence was erased by a documentary. I don't even know how that would work,
00:46:37.460
but I think it does show that you're certainly not very secure in your identity. Uh, 4G mama says,
00:46:45.480
God bless you. Your courage is amazing. Your willingness to be a martyr for truth is exactly
00:46:49.180
what the world needs. May God and your guardian angel protect you. Well, thank you for that. But
00:46:52.700
one correction is, uh, I'm actually not willing to be a martyr. Um, that's not something I'm just
00:46:59.360
going to accept anyway. I, I don't want to, I'm not going to be a martyr. The, I'd rather make
00:47:05.960
the other guy, the martyr, there's a guy who wants to make me a martyr. It's like, no, I I'll,
00:47:10.060
how about you instead? But I appreciate it. Sarah says, Matt, so what's the deal with the
00:47:15.040
sandwich at the end of the film? Was that supposed to be a sexist trope in the movie? Yeah. The, the,
00:47:20.120
the sandwich now, now we've really gotten into spoilers, but I guess it's been a week since the
00:47:23.640
movie came out. So we can talk a little bit, we get a little more spoilery in, uh, in our discussions
00:47:27.860
of the film. And I've been asked this question a lot, um, especially by the, uh, by feminists. I
00:47:34.680
did an interview with Laura Doddsworth, who's a journalist in the UK. And she did an interview
00:47:38.960
for, uh, called the critic magazine. And it was a good interview. She was very fair. She did a
00:47:43.980
write up. You can go and check it out. But she also asked me about this because this apparently
00:47:48.540
is a big debate among, especially UK so-called gender critical feminists about the last scene in
00:47:56.200
the movie. When I go home and I talk to my wife and she tells me what a woman is, but she's in the
00:48:01.780
kitchen and she's making a sandwich when, when she tells me this. And so I was asked, was this some
00:48:06.260
sort of, was there some sort of deeper significance to that? What, what was I trying to say with the
00:48:11.980
sandwich? Um, what's, what's the symbolism? And the honest truth is there's just no symbolism. We
00:48:18.560
just, we just needed her to be sort of doing something in the scene and to give the answer and then get
00:48:24.140
back to what she was doing. Because part of the point is that she's, she's sort of situated in
00:48:29.600
her daily life, situated in, in, you know, her life and her existence, her identity as a woman, as a
00:48:36.860
mom, as a, as a wife and all of that. And so she's not sitting around navel gazing, thinking, what is,
00:48:43.300
what is, what is, what is my identity? What is this? What is that? Right. This is the whole,
00:48:47.600
the whole question of gender ideology. The reason why this has become a question is because of all the,
00:48:52.140
it's a luxury belief. It's, it's all the navel gazing in the West, people just sitting around
00:48:56.060
with nothing else to do. And, um, looking back within their own egos and asking themselves,
00:49:01.760
how do I feel? How do I feel about how I feel? If you live your life and are situated within your life
00:49:09.560
and are confident in who you are, then a lot of these questions almost don't exist. They're quite
00:49:16.460
obvious. So that's what we wanted to communicate is that she gives the answer, then gets back to what
00:49:20.180
she's doing. However, I'm quite happy that people are, uh, I think it's a, it's a good sign with a
00:49:26.480
movie when people are picking apart each little scene and looking for all the deeper symbolism
00:49:30.540
and significance. And I will also say, and I said this in the interview with, uh, with Laura that
00:49:36.860
like it didn't occur to me when we were shooting the scene that somebody would be offended by that
00:49:41.380
aspect of it. If somebody had told me and said, you know, people might be offended by this.
00:49:46.100
I would have said, I don't care. We're still going to do the scene this way.
00:49:51.720
So I don't want anyone to think that, uh, we were trying to avoid being offensive either.
00:49:54.920
That's certainly not the case. We're just doing the scene. That's all, but you can interpret it
00:49:58.380
how you want. Well, what is a woman is a huge success way beyond my wildest dreams, to be honest
00:50:04.140
with you. So thank you for that. We gained more subscribers the day of the premiere than on any
00:50:07.660
other day in daily wire history. Last night, this film became the number one, most popular movie
00:50:12.320
at home on Rotten Tomatoes that we're beating out, uh, you know, streaming films on, on platforms with
00:50:18.400
millions and more subscribers than we are still haven't gotten any mainstream critic reviews yet.
00:50:23.140
And that's perfectly fine. Uh, this topic is, is more important now than it ever has been before.
00:50:27.920
It's about protecting women and children. Um, and it's also about, as I always say,
00:50:32.700
first and foremost about defending and protecting the truth because the truth matters. Um, and that's why
00:50:37.680
with this film, we're changing the gender ideology conversation. And one of the ways we're changing
00:50:42.200
the conversation is by having a conversation about it because they don't want us to talk about it.
00:50:45.560
As we've seen without your support, none of this would be possible. So from all of us at daily
00:50:49.460
wire, we want to say thank you. And we also want to let you know that terror on the prairie premieres
00:50:53.780
June 14th. And, uh, that means that look, if you became a daily wire subscriber, um, it's, uh,
00:50:59.940
it's not just for, uh, what is a woman? We've got tons of great stuff coming up this month. And,
00:51:04.640
uh, from there on, if you remember when Hollywood and Disney tried to cancel Gina Carano two days after
00:51:11.100
that Gina, after Gina was canceled, daily wire picked her up and announced that she'd be starring
00:51:15.560
in and producing our next original film. And, uh, then we actually made the film. And I, for one,
00:51:21.060
I'm really looking forward to this exactly the kind of movies that we should be making is terror
00:51:24.520
on the prairie. So go to dailywire.com slash subscribe to join us and get exclusive access
00:51:28.240
to our entire content library. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:51:36.720
We have, um, something unprecedented today. I believe for the first time in the history of the
00:51:40.420
daily cancellation, I'm going to pull somebody from the opening monologue and drag them down here
00:51:45.880
to the daily cancellation. Sarah Spain, the sports reporter who unwittingly recreated a Seinfeld
00:51:51.360
episode while also claiming that gay people will be denied housing because a professional baseball
00:51:54.820
player didn't wear a rainbow patch must be canceled today. Her obnoxiousness and stupidity
00:51:59.240
are just too rich, too expansive to cover in one monologue. But I want to retread the same ground here.
00:52:04.920
There's a deeper point that I want to make that I've been thinking about actually.
00:52:07.320
And, uh, this provides a, uh, you know, a starting point, a jumping off point.
00:52:12.480
It won't shock you to learn that Spain who condemned players for not showing respect for the LGBT flag
00:52:17.840
has repeatedly over the years defended Kaepernick and his decision to not show respect for the
00:52:23.240
American flag. Spain has called it disgusting, nauseating, repulsive that Kaepernick hasn't been
00:52:28.980
offered a job in the NFL after washing out seven years ago. Um, back when he first began that virtue
00:52:34.220
signaling campaign, Spain wrote an article on ESPN in support of the gesture calling Kaepernick's
00:52:39.680
critics to task. She wrote at the time, quote, I look forward to the day when people stand up and
00:52:44.580
demand justice for people with the same passion they display in defending symbols. Standing for the
00:52:49.860
anthem is easy because it's expected. Loving your country enough to want to make it better is real
00:52:54.980
patriotism. Yes. Why would you bother defending symbols? They're just symbols. Unless it's the gay pride
00:53:02.640
symbol, of course, wearing the pride patch, that's also expected and easy. But in that case, Spain and
00:53:09.280
her leftist cohorts demand that the easy and expected thing be done all in deference to what
00:53:14.120
they consider to be our true national flag, which is the pride flag. This helps to illuminate something
00:53:19.120
that may seem confusing on the surface. The left so often seems to stand against unity, against the
00:53:28.420
collective, against traditions, against, um, symbols that bind people together. They seem to have a
00:53:34.420
vision of the atomized individual set apart from the collective. They applaud a guy like Kaepernick
00:53:39.080
for declining to stand with his teammates for the flag. In fact, they seem to emphasize individuality
00:53:44.120
to the extent of, of actually wanting each person to have their own universe, their own truth.
00:53:49.240
Forget about shared symbolism. They don't even accept that we have a shared reality.
00:53:52.340
If you watched what is a woman, you know, um, how far this kind of line of thinking can go,
00:53:57.180
or you could just watch any TikTok video and get the same idea. Here's one of a woman who explains
00:54:02.920
how her identity and her pronouns continually evolve to the point now that her pronouns change
00:54:08.680
depending on who is talking to her. Listen. Happy pride, everybody. I already mentioned this in my story,
00:54:15.820
but, um, I've added a new set of pronouns to the pronouns that I'm comfortable being called.
00:54:20.580
I've been sitting on Fae, Fae, Fae's pronouns for a while, and honestly kind of psyching myself out
00:54:26.980
about it. I'm like, oh, do I really want to, like, change this again? And then I, like, realized,
00:54:30.660
I was like, who cares? Like, if I decide that I don't like them, I can just stop using them.
00:54:37.160
My other thing about this new set of pronouns is that I would only like for queer and trans people
00:54:41.440
to use them for me. Cishet people, they, them. Queer and or trans people, you can use they,
00:54:46.420
them or Fae Fair. It's all good with me. I'm excited because Fae Fair pronouns make me feel
00:54:52.620
very affirmed in my not feeling like a person. Sorry, by the way, that was an Instagram video,
00:54:58.960
not TikTok. Didn't mean to misgender TikTok. By the way, Fae Fair pronouns are associated with
00:55:05.420
fairies. So she identifies as an actual mythical creature, sometimes depending on who she's in the
00:55:10.680
room with. And we're expected to affirm that reality because it's her reality, and she gets
00:55:17.520
her own reality for herself. This would seem to be hyper-individualism, a kind of individualism on
00:55:24.560
steroids, or perhaps individualism on crack cocaine, as the case may be. You can't get any more
00:55:29.840
individualistic than to provide each individual with their own universe to operate inside of. And yet,
00:55:35.600
it turns out that this individual has limits. It's rather stifling in its limits. So for one thing,
00:55:42.720
we all get our own truth, and yet I'm not allowed to have a truth where only women give birth.
00:55:49.780
Right? Like, if I want my truth, we all get our own truth. Okay. So my truth, I'm going to stick with
00:55:54.880
the truth, and we'll just call that my truth if you want for the sake of argument. And in my truth,
00:55:59.300
you know, men are men, women are women. But you're not allowed to do that. See, you can't have that truth.
00:56:03.500
They reject that that is the truth, and they won't even allow you to claim it as your own truth.
00:56:10.600
We all have our own truth, but some truths are more true than others, it turns out.
00:56:15.140
We also find that this supposed individualism doesn't even give us license to decline a pride
00:56:20.560
flag patch. It turns out that the individualists are ruthless conformists. How can they be both?
00:56:28.500
What's going on? Well, it's because the individuality, the my truth stuff, it's all a ruse.
00:56:33.160
It's a front. It's a tool, more like. It's used as a way to break apart and demolish the
00:56:38.800
institutions and traditions that the left doesn't like. A child is encouraged to live his truth
00:56:43.620
because it will weaken the bond with his parents. Spouses are encouraged to live their truth because
00:56:49.620
it will fracture their marriage. We're sent off into our own universes in order to weaken and
00:56:53.780
eventually snap the ties, keeping the family, the church, the nation together. That's the ultimate
00:56:58.720
objective. Once it's accomplished, we're meant to reconvene back together in one shared universe
00:57:06.060
in reality, only it won't be the same one we left. It'll be like Planet of the Apes, right? We return
00:57:10.560
to the same world, but everything is turned on its head and all that was good lays in ruins.
00:57:16.080
Now back here in this new world, where conformity is not just encouraged but demanded and required,
00:57:20.680
our national flag is the gay rainbow. The dominant religion is the religion of gender.
00:57:25.180
The parent-child relationship has been supplanted by the state-child relationship.
00:57:30.220
They said you could live your truth, but they really meant that you must live theirs,
00:57:35.740
which is an untruth. That's what this is all about. Now I suspect that Sarah Spain hasn't quite
00:57:42.140
thought all of this out. She's just a ditzy conformist saying whatever seems safest and most
00:57:47.700
popular in the moment, but this is the agenda she serves, even if she's too dumb to realize it.
00:57:55.180
And that's why she is today canceled. And that'll do it for us today.
00:57:59.180
Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
