The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 992 - The Groomers Want To Ban You From Calling Them Groomers

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Big Tech is now hunting down and banning anyone who accuses LGBT activists of grooming.

00:00:06.680 But why aren't we allowed to say that? Well, because it's true. 0.99

00:00:09.700 Also, more fallout from the bombshell report revealing that Big Pharma has been lying for years about the antidepressants that it sells.

00:00:16.720 Plus, we'll check in on a local news segment with an HR expert about the correct approach to preferred pronouns in the workplace.

00:00:22.860 And Democrats in the House passed the Right to Contraception Act, codifying our alleged God-given right to birth control and destroying religious freedom, not to mention common sense, in the process.

00:00:33.120 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:44.520 Well, I have some unfortunate news for you today.

00:00:48.580 Abandoned shopping carts have attacked my car.

00:00:50.800 You've never heard this story before. If you have, I'll tell it again.

00:00:54.040 It was only a matter of time.

00:00:55.940 I saw this coming five years ago, which prompted my initial cancellation of people who don't return their shopping carts to the designated shopping cart areas.

00:01:02.080 And here we are with rogue shopping carts crashing into my car, scratching my front bumper, totaling the car, destroying my life.

00:01:10.140 And there are two lessons we can take away from this.

00:01:11.820 One, don't be lazy. Put your shopping carts away so that I and my car don't have to needlessly suffer.

00:01:16.640 And number two, most importantly, rockauto.com is the place to go when you find yourself in this sort of situation.

00:01:22.140 Rockauto.com is an online family-owned business that sells all the auto parts you could ever need specific to your own vehicle.

00:01:27.700 Their prices are shockingly reasonable and they ship fast.

00:01:30.460 Their website makes it incredibly easy to find the right parts for your car with photos, specs, and even installation tips.

00:01:35.980 Rockauto.com will not only have the part, but usually they'll give you several trusted brands to choose from.

00:01:40.820 So you get a big selection as well. Rockauto's kits are also popular because they bundle together all the parts needed for a successful repair.

00:01:46.760 You don't get halfway through installing a timing belt and discover that you need another pulley or something like that.

00:01:51.800 So you go to rockauto.com for your auto parts needs today. Get everything you need there.

00:01:55.920 And while you're there, be sure to use code Walsh in their How Did You Hear About Us box so they know that I sent you.

00:02:00.700 A little while ago, Eric Roman, who is a public school employee in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, attended a school board meeting where he rose to the microphone, donning his Black Lives Matter t-shirt, introduced himself as both LGBT and fully vaccinated,

00:02:15.340 and then proceeded to speak out against parents who opposed the LGBT indoctrination of their children.

00:02:21.320 He mocked and belittled them. He made fun of all of their concerns.

00:02:25.060 And he was quite, quite proud of himself, too. Very proud of what he was saying and thought that he was giving quite a rising speech.

00:02:31.920 As you can tell, let's take a look.

00:02:34.320 I'm a resident, townie, taxpayer, vaccinated and functioning, graduate of this high school, class of 1999,

00:02:43.900 proud member of the LGBTQIA community, and an employee of Mount Pleasant Public Schools.

00:02:51.600 Thank you.

00:02:55.060 I really cannot speak any more eloquently than the people who have spoken before me tonight.

00:02:59.980 But what I can say is that for the last five years, I have had the profound privilege of working with your students,

00:03:09.160 with your students, with your students.

00:03:13.540 And I can tell you this.

00:03:15.460 They are hungry for knowledge.

00:03:18.180 They are so hungry for knowledge that despite your words, your wishes, your values,

00:03:29.280 they will learn on their own.

00:03:33.060 So many of your children are hurting, questioning, struggling in this world that we have created.

00:03:44.220 They are simultaneously being taught to celebrate and to hate who they are.

00:03:50.180 I can't deny that.

00:03:51.900 Every day.

00:03:52.780 Ultimately, they will become who they will become with or without us.

00:04:02.280 Give them the chance, the grace, and the support to embrace their own learning.

00:04:09.040 They're going to do it anyway, no matter what you say or do.

00:04:13.320 Kids are hungry for knowledge, he says.

00:04:16.940 And he's right.

00:04:17.520 You know, kids are hungry for knowledge.

00:04:19.240 They are.

00:04:19.940 But LGBT indoctrination is not knowledge.

00:04:23.000 Gender fluidity is not knowledge. 1.00

00:04:25.920 Guys like him do not impart knowledge any more than a Scientology center imparts knowledge.

00:04:32.260 Kids are hungry for knowledge indeed, and they leave our school system still starving for it.

00:04:38.140 But according to a report in the National File, it seems Eric Roman was hungry himself for something else.

00:04:44.760 The report says a Michigan public school employee who staunchly advocated for LGBT curricula to his district school board

00:04:50.740 has been arrested as part of a police sting operation targeting local pedophiles.

00:04:55.820 41-year-old Eric Roman, an employee of Mount Pleasant, Michigan's public school system,

00:05:00.580 was arrested as part of an Isabella County Sheriff's Office sting operation

00:05:03.720 that also saw two more alleged child predators put behind bars.

00:05:06.380 According to local reports, Isabella County law enforcement was assisted in the sting

00:05:10.280 by agents from the FBI and the Michigan State Police, among others.

00:05:13.680 Along with two other men, Eric Roman, 42, of Mount Pleasant, was arrested at an undisclosed location.

00:05:18.500 All three were arrested for using a computer to commit a crime and accosting a minor for immoral purposes.

00:05:23.640 Police alleged that three communicated over various social media apps with decoys posing as children.

00:05:28.720 The three are accused of going to a location to have sex with a child where they were arrested.

00:05:32.840 The report goes on to explain.

00:05:34.220 So this man, you just heard there in that clip, doesn't like it when public school employees are called groomers.

00:05:41.880 And in his case, you know, maybe he has a point.

00:05:44.920 He's not a groomer.

00:05:45.900 He's already moved well beyond the grooming stage.

00:05:49.700 Meanwhile, another viral video shows a second grade teacher bragging about her class coming out as gender fluid.

00:05:57.840 And if that statement seems confusing, yes, I mean what I said, her entire class of second graders came out all at once, she says.

00:06:07.300 Watch.

00:06:07.660 So it took a couple of days for me to make this TikTok without crying because that's what I do.

00:06:15.820 Please ignore the dog bone crunching behind me.

00:06:18.400 Anyhow, one of my students felt safe enough to share his pronouns with me.

00:06:24.240 And when he did so, once the class knew that I knew, they all switched pronouns.

00:06:34.540 They're second graders.

00:06:35.560 There's like, I'm torn between being really, really happy to be a safe space and just absolutely furious that an entire group of second graders has to keep this secret from not safe people.

00:06:48.500 Why are kids feeling unsafe?

00:06:51.880 And furthermore, why does everyone talk about how, how are the kids going to understand?

00:06:57.080 The kids understand it.

00:06:58.720 It's easy for them. 0.99

00:06:59.800 It's the adults who have all of the issues and hangups and bullshit. 0.99

00:07:05.860 Kids are fine. 0.99

00:07:07.600 Keep it a secret from unsafe people, she says.

00:07:12.180 And the unsafe people, of course, being the children's parents.

00:07:15.800 Now, in a sane country, just that video alone, and we've seen so many like it, but just that one would be a major scandal, a big story.

00:07:25.700 I mean, think about what she's just told us.

00:07:27.160 She says that her entire class of second graders switched pronouns, meaning that they came out as trans or non-binary or gender fluid or whatever other nonsense.

00:07:36.780 The whole class.

00:07:38.420 Even if gender theory made sense, which it doesn't, but if it did, does it predict or account for classrooms of young children being LGBT?

00:07:47.460 No, nothing accounts for this except for the truth, which is that kids are being groomed and recruited on a massive scale.

00:07:53.580 And that assisting in this effort is a social contagion effect so potent that it can spread through whole classrooms and schools and generations at lightning speed.

00:08:05.380 One more example, Breitbart reports today.

00:08:09.660 The Centers for Disease Control is promoting to youth an online chat space that discusses sex, polyamorous relationships, the occult, sex change operations, and activism, and is specifically designed to be quickly hidden while being used.

00:08:23.700 It also mixes LGBT adults and children and is run in part by Planned Parenthood.

00:08:27.600 Called QChat Space, the platform is advertised on the CDC's LGBT Health Youth Resources page.

00:08:34.220 The chat service, which describes itself as a community for LGBTQ plus teens, is available for those ages 13 to 19, can be hidden from parents, and focuses on a number of mature themes.

00:08:46.200 QChat hosts conversations on a number of different mature and sexual topics, including drag culture 101, sex and relationships, and having multiple genders intended for bi-pan youth.

00:08:58.800 QChat also features conversations on gender affirmation surgeries, as well as on hormone replacement therapy.

00:09:06.320 The chats are used in part to tell children where you can find resources related to their transition.

00:09:11.620 Now, demonstrating just how scientific gender theory is, this site also has lessons on astrology and tarot cards.

00:09:21.180 One is titled Self-Discovery in Astrology, and another is called Queering Tarot, because apparently tarot is not queer enough already. 0.63

00:09:30.860 The grooming conspiracy we see is vast and far-reaching, and though it focuses especially on sexuality, it does not limit itself to that.

00:09:38.460 The goal is to turn your child into a disciple of their religion, with fealty to all of its tenets, even the most bizarre ones, especially the most bizarre ones.

00:09:48.460 As these grooming efforts ramp up, then, so too do the efforts to prevent people from talking about it.

00:09:55.420 So, last week, a popular Reddit forum officially banned people from using the word groomer, which I guess we now must call the G word, declaring that the word groomer is homophobic, and it's anti, it's a slur.

00:10:10.740 It's a homophobic slur.

00:10:12.600 Soon, leftist groups like Media Matters were calling on all other social media platforms to ban the term as well, prohibiting people from pointing out when LGBT activists are engaging in grooming.

00:10:21.760 An article in the leftist online rag, The Daily Dot, echoed these calls, claiming that the groomer label is fueling an escalation in, quote, hateful attacks against LGBT people.

00:10:33.920 And we're hearing this claim a lot, this rise in attacks against LGBT people, which we're always told can be traced back to the evil right-wingers like myself using terms like groomer.

00:10:47.260 Now, to prove that such an escalation and epidemic is underway, this article in The Daily Beast links to a Washington Post article, which asserts a surge in anti-LGBTQ threats.

00:11:00.660 And they provide no evidence of this surge, but instead link to another article, this one a fact sheet compiled by something called the Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project.

00:11:10.820 And the fact sheet announces that anti-LGBTQ plus mobilization is on the rise in the United States.

00:11:17.500 So we begin to see how the game of leftist telephone works.

00:11:22.000 And this is really important because this is, we hear so much about misinformation.

00:11:25.300 Well, this is how misinformation really works.

00:11:27.100 Most of it comes from the left.

00:11:28.240 So you have one article claiming an escalation in anti-LGBT attacks, and they cite an article which claims escalations in anti-LGBT threats, which in turn cites an article which claims anti-LGBT mobilization.

00:11:47.160 So we go from mobilization to threats to attacks.

00:11:52.140 And they all source themselves back to the same source.

00:11:56.660 They're all citing the same thing.

00:11:59.060 You see, as the propaganda filters from one organ to the next, it becomes more dramatic, more dire sounding.

00:12:07.240 And as for this anti-LGBT mobilization, which again serves as the basis for the claim that anti-LGBT attacks are on the rise,

00:12:16.140 we're told by this group here that mobilization refers to any demonstrations, violent or peaceful,

00:12:24.260 also any political violence or any propaganda activity such as passing out flyers.

00:12:31.160 So if this group decides that your peaceful demonstration is anti-LGBT, so for example, and they say later in the article that much of this is happening in Florida.

00:12:42.540 So if you attended a rally, a peaceful rally in support of the anti-groomer bill in Florida, then you are lumped in here.

00:12:49.980 You are part of the rise of anti-LGBT attacks, even though you didn't attack anybody.

00:12:55.000 It only took two links to turn flyers and peaceful demonstrations into violent attacks.

00:13:03.620 But in following this thread of misinformation, we've lost sight of the point, which is part of the point of misinformation to begin with,

00:13:10.160 is to make you lose sight of what you really should be talking about.

00:13:12.700 But the claim is that these violent attacks, which are almost completely fictional to begin with,

00:13:17.860 are fueled by people criticizing LGBT activists for grooming.

00:13:23.980 And so you shouldn't be allowed to use the word anymore, the left says.

00:13:29.120 Which they don't prove that either.

00:13:31.680 So they claim that there are all these attacks happening, can't prove that.

00:13:34.820 And they also claim that these attacks, which are unproven and mostly fictional, are fueled by people saying the word grooming.

00:13:41.700 And that's not proven either.

00:13:44.740 It only took a few days of pressure for Facebook and TikTok to announce that day two have banned the term.

00:13:50.200 And then Twitter followed suit most recently.

00:13:52.160 Yesterday, the author James Lindsay was locked out of his account and suspended for tweeting the phrase,

00:13:58.540 OK, groomer.

00:13:59.820 That got him suspended now.

00:14:00.860 Just like that, groomer is on par with the N-word.

00:14:06.720 It's a word so vicious and harmful and hateful that it can't even be written, much less spoken.

00:14:13.380 And why are they so afraid of the word?

00:14:17.200 Well, because it's true.

00:14:19.360 The label has power because it has the force of truth behind it.

00:14:23.400 The word correctly and succinctly captures and describes the left's campaign to sexualize the youngest generations. 0.86

00:14:32.920 There is nothing these people hate more than the truth.

00:14:37.160 Nothing that scares them more than the truth.

00:14:40.600 They have no recourse in the face of the truth.

00:14:43.380 They have no defense against it.

00:14:45.140 They have no argument.

00:14:46.480 They have no rebuttal.

00:14:47.220 They can do nothing when confronted with the truth, except try to silence it.

00:14:56.020 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:04.360 Well, yesterday we discussed the massive news laying bare yet another big pharma scam.

00:15:10.660 And I would say, and this is quite a statement, but the greatest big pharma scam of all time, I think.

00:15:17.920 When you look at the numbers involved, the money they've made off of it, and the damage caused, it is, again, it's saying a lot because there are a lot of them.

00:15:27.060 But I think this is the greatest, the biggest big pharma scam of all time.

00:15:31.540 And that is the claim that depression is rooted in a chemical imbalance in the brain.

00:15:38.520 And that is the basis upon which millions and millions of Americans for decades have been prescribed antidepressants in order to cure this chemical imbalance.

00:15:48.340 And now we find out that, well, that depression has nothing to do with a chemical imbalance.

00:15:54.700 It was a myth, a fiction.

00:15:57.640 At best, a guess.

00:15:59.100 A guess that was made decades ago and then glommed onto by institutions like big pharma because they could profit off of it.

00:16:11.400 Now I say, and this is kind of, this is an important follow-up in the Daily Mail today, because I say that, well, we just found out.

00:16:17.980 It was just revealed that the chemical imbalance theory was false.

00:16:23.420 That's not actually true.

00:16:24.400 It was not just revealed.

00:16:25.520 This has actually been known for a long time.

00:16:29.100 So it's, it's, it's much worse than maybe we make it sound when we say that this, this just came out now.

00:16:36.100 Because then maybe big pharma has an excuse.

00:16:37.840 They could say, well, we didn't know.

00:16:40.420 Then we could blame them for not doing their due diligence, not doing enough research.

00:16:43.400 But then maybe they could plead ignorance.

00:16:45.960 They could say, we really didn't know.

00:16:47.520 We thought it worked.

00:16:49.800 Well, no, actually for decades, it has been known that the chemical imbalance theory is not correct.

00:16:55.520 The Daily Mail has this, psychiatrists have been aware for years that low serotonin levels may not cause depression despite continuing to prescribe the pills, a chair of psychology has said.

00:17:07.320 Dr. Jonathan Raskin from State University of New York told DailyMail.com he'd been concerned that the theory that depression was caused by low serotonin levels was incomplete for a while.

00:17:16.280 He said many medics continued to prescribe the medication even while they were unsure if they were effective because it was easier than offering more time-intensive care.

00:17:26.260 The pills could still help some patients, he added, but they're not a cure-all for those suffering from depression.

00:17:31.500 This week, a landmark UK study called into question society's ever-growing reliance on antidepressants like Prozac.

00:17:35.600 And so then it reviews the study, which we're going to need to go over again.

00:17:43.060 But the point is that this has been known by the psychiatrist.

00:17:47.120 Quote, depression is a complicated issue, and the idea that we would be able to reduce it simply to serotonin is not right.

00:17:51.660 When we give antidepressants, we don't do this based on biological tests showing they don't have enough serotonin, but if we think it could help them.

00:17:59.020 Asked whether people should keep taking the pills, he said, I think that this is a conversation worth having.

00:18:07.060 I'm not going to say people should or should not be on them, but I think there has been a lot of popular dissemination of the idea that we have reduced depression to low serotonin levels.

00:18:15.440 So this has been known.

00:18:18.200 Speaking of what people have known for years, there's an article in the Scientific American 11 years ago.

00:18:24.260 Back in 2011, this is what was published.

00:18:29.020 It says, in a New York Times essay in defense of antidepressants, Peter Kramer, professor of psychiatry at Brown, insists that antidepressants work ordinarily well on a par with other medications doctors prescribe.

00:18:41.220 Kramer's article seeks to rebut a wave of negative coverage of antidepressants, most notably a two-part essay in the New York Review of Books by Marsha Engel, former editor of the New England Journal of Medicine and now a lecturer in social medicine at Harvard.

00:18:53.200 Angel cites research suggesting that antidepressants may not be any more effective than placebos for treating most forms of depression.

00:19:01.600 Angel highlights a meta-analysis carried out by the psychologist Irving Kirsch of trials of a half-dozen popular antidepressants submitted by drug companies to the FDA.

00:19:11.400 Many of the studies were never published because they failed to yield positive results.

00:19:16.920 Let's stop there for a second.

00:19:18.260 These were studies that failed to yield positive results, and so they just didn't publish them.

00:19:23.860 And when we say positive results, we mean results that affirm the effectiveness of antidepressants.

00:19:29.920 They were not able to affirm it, confirm it, and so they just didn't publish the studies.

00:19:34.500 After analyzing all the FDA studies, Kirsch concluded that placebos are 82% as effective as antidepressants.

00:19:43.860 According to Kirsch, this difference vanishes if antidepressants are compared to active placebos,

00:19:49.340 which are compounds that block certain nerve receptors and cause dry mouth and other symptoms that have distinct side effects.

00:19:56.220 This is 2011 again, over a decade ago.

00:20:02.440 It was known and being published that when you put an antidepressant up against a placebo, there is almost no difference.

00:20:11.840 And then the difference goes away completely with active placebos.

00:20:14.380 And why does the active placebo matter?

00:20:16.020 Well, because if they give you, you know, if you give someone just basically a sugar pill,

00:20:20.440 but it has certain compounds in it that causes a side effect, dry mouth, something like that,

00:20:24.360 then they're going to really feel like, oh, well, this thing is working.

00:20:26.940 And then they're going to convince themselves that they feel better, and now they do feel better.

00:20:32.180 It was published 11 years ago, but it was known much sooner than that.

00:20:36.840 The FDA knew it, but the studies weren't published because it didn't help big pharma.

00:20:41.640 This is why I say this is one of, this is the greatest big pharma scandal of all time.

00:20:44.620 This is a massive scandal.

00:20:47.160 They're prescribing these drugs with, by the way, the drugs that they're giving out are not sugar pills.

00:20:52.480 These are dangerous, highly potent, psychotropic drugs with serious side effects, including suicide.

00:21:06.420 These are mind-altering substances that big pharma was giving out,

00:21:12.940 knowing that they didn't work.

00:21:16.900 Or at the very least, they didn't work the way they claimed they were working.

00:21:21.680 And now you could just give sugar, you could actually give sugar pills to at least 82% of these people,

00:21:26.000 and they would feel the same.

00:21:27.080 I'm hoping this is a red pill moment for lots of people, you know, about big pharma and also the psychiatric industry.

00:21:38.920 The ultimate red pill moment is to realize that the whole basis of modern psychology is built on a flawed understanding of human nature.

00:21:47.520 Because I've been talking about big pharma and implicating them, but it's not just them.

00:21:51.940 Yeah, big pharma's out there making the billions and trillions of dollars, but how are the drugs getting prescribed?

00:21:59.420 Big pharma is the system, the meat grinder that people are being fed into, the wood chipper that they're being thrown into.

00:22:06.480 But who's picking people up and tossing them into it?

00:22:10.360 Psychiatrists, doctors.

00:22:13.440 And we'll know that we're really getting somewhere when we start to question the fundamental basis of so much of modern psychology.

00:22:23.080 Because the idea is that, that we hear from psychiatrists, is that there is a baseline sort of normal, desirable, healthy personality and disposition and emotional and mental makeup for the human person.

00:22:36.200 And that this baseline is knowable and enforceable, and that everything that falls outside of the baseline is a disease.

00:22:43.700 And it's a disease in the same way, no different from how cancer or diabetes is a disease, and can be treated the same sort of way.

00:22:50.160 The claim is that the human mind, not just the brain, but the mind, which is your consciousness, your conscious experience, can be sick in the same way that a physical part of your body is sick.

00:23:06.820 And that psychiatrists in the pharmaceutical industry have the ability to determine what is the right sort of conscious experience, and through drugs, they can heal your conscious experience and make it go from wrong to right.

00:23:20.160 There are so many embedded assumptions in all of that.

00:23:24.480 Like, how do you know any of this? Who are you to say? How can you take a drug that heals your mind?

00:23:29.880 I mean, all of these questions that aren't even asked.

00:23:32.900 The Daily Mail article yesterday said that 90% of the public thinks that the chemical imbalance theory is correct, even though, as we talked about yesterday, if you'd done just a little bit of research, you would have known before this article came out that the chemical imbalance theory is unsupported.

00:23:48.640 And before doing the research, you could have thought about it and realized that, like, it doesn't really make sense anyway.

00:23:56.240 You know, one of the things that I've been hearing over the last 24 hours is that people saying, well, you know, even if the drugs don't work the way that they said that the drugs work, it still works, right?

00:24:07.640 And I take it and I feel better.

00:24:10.860 But are you okay with that?

00:24:13.580 You're okay with taking a drug where the people giving it to you don't really know what it does or how it works.

00:24:24.500 It affects your mind.

00:24:26.420 And they don't really know how it affects your mind.

00:24:28.400 And the ways that they said it will work are wrong because they lied to you.

00:24:35.260 But it makes you feel better, so you take it anyway.

00:24:37.560 I mean, that's an individual choice.

00:24:38.740 I'm not telling you to take it or not to take it.

00:24:41.980 But if it were me, I'd be very uncomfortable.

00:24:44.780 I'd be very uncomfortable with that.

00:24:47.880 Like, if you're, this is me with, and I'm, and I confess, maybe I'm different from a lot of people.

00:24:53.560 I feel this way about all medication.

00:24:54.900 Not that I don't take it, but I just, before I put anything in my body, before I take any kind of medicine at all, I need to know, like, everything about it.

00:25:02.620 And I want to know about all the side effects.

00:25:04.480 And then I want to start thinking to myself, you know, whatever I'm trying to treat right now, is it worth the potential side effects?

00:25:09.320 And, like, sometimes it is.

00:25:10.380 So it's not like I never take it in medicine, but I'm just, I'm always kind of skeptical.

00:25:17.320 And so if someone gave me something that's going to affect my mind, and then I said, well, how does this work?

00:25:21.880 And they said, I don't know.

00:25:23.440 I'm not taking that.

00:25:24.900 That's me.

00:25:28.280 Also, as just reviewed, it actually doesn't seem to work.

00:25:31.540 Like, there's very good evidence that it simply does not work at all.

00:25:38.060 You know, if it can barely beat a sugar pill in a trial, then that's an indication that it actually doesn't work.

00:25:46.580 What's working is your mind, actually.

00:25:49.200 Like, you believe that you're going to feel better, and so you do.

00:25:52.700 That's your mind doing the work.

00:25:53.840 It's not the pill.

00:25:54.900 And it's a very difficult thing to judge anyway, if it works or not.

00:25:59.500 Because when we say, well, it works, what do we mean?

00:26:01.700 We mean, well, I feel better.

00:26:04.020 But do you feel better because of the chemicals in the pill, which would be the pill working?

00:26:10.160 Or do you feel better because of your belief about the pill?

00:26:14.200 Or maybe because of lifestyle changes you've made alongside of taking the pill?

00:26:18.520 Or maybe because of the therapy that you're getting alongside the pill?

00:26:21.120 Like, how do you know that it's the pill working?

00:26:23.060 These are all interesting questions that we should be asking and should be talking about.

00:26:29.580 Because the second thing that I've heard quite a bit over the last 24 hours, and really going back for as long as I've been talking about these issues, which I have been talking about since for as long as I've been on the public, any kind of public stage.

00:26:39.900 The other thing is that, well, this is irresponsible and reckless.

00:26:42.340 We shouldn't be talking about this at all.

00:26:44.100 Even if the pills don't work, even if it's all based on a lie, don't talk about it because people will get off the pills and then they'll harm themselves.

00:26:50.960 And so you just shouldn't talk about it.

00:26:52.100 Is that how we should treat people?

00:26:58.040 Discourage them from thinking about things, not talk about the truth around them because the truth might compel them to do something that hurts them.

00:27:06.100 I mean, this is the way our so-called public health authorities treated COVID, if you recall.

00:27:11.500 Lied to us about so many things.

00:27:14.020 Kept the truth away from us.

00:27:15.220 Because they wanted us to act in a certain way, and they had judged that the way they want us to act is the correct way and is best for us.

00:27:23.600 And so they're going to tell us whatever they need to tell us to get us to act that way.

00:27:26.480 And they're going to withhold whatever information they need to withhold to get us to act that way.

00:27:33.740 But with COVID, when we in the public found out about all the different ways that we've been lied to and all the things that were kept from us, everybody was outraged.

00:27:42.180 And said, no, we have a right to know the truth.

00:27:45.220 Yet with psychiatric medication, there are a lot of people who say, no, you know what?

00:27:48.980 Actually, keep lying to me.

00:27:49.960 I don't even want to know.

00:27:50.640 Keep lying to me.

00:27:55.020 All right.

00:27:56.560 Let's move to this.

00:28:01.780 All right.

00:28:02.260 This is from Redux.

00:28:03.240 It says a trans-identified male who used his own seven-year-old daughter to make sadistic child sex abuse material has quietly been transferred to the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey.

00:28:15.500 On May 6th, Marina Vols, born Matthew, was sentenced to 25 years on charges of human trafficking, aggravated sexual assault conspiracy, and endangering the welfare of a child.

00:28:25.660 His charges had stemmed from a 2019 investigation into his conduct after the New Jersey Department of Child Protection became aware that he was creating pornography in a home where a child resided.

00:28:35.000 At the time, a search warrant had been executed at his property after it was found that the child, his own seven-year-old daughter, had likely been exposed to sexually explicit material.

00:28:44.000 And summarizing, it turns out that it was much worse than that.

00:28:48.140 She wasn't just exposed to material.

00:28:49.800 She was included in it. 0.67

00:28:51.860 She was being sexually abused on camera. 0.99

00:28:55.040 And this was a home where this seven-year-old girl lived in unimaginable, I mean, being tortured in just unimaginable ways.

00:29:07.880 And she lived alongside four men, two of which identified as females.

00:29:14.000 And the two ones that identify as women, Marina Vols, we just heard of them, and another one, Ashley Romero.

00:29:20.100 So, they were all arrested, sent to prison.

00:29:23.920 And immediately, at least one of them was sent to a woman's prison. 1.00

00:29:28.340 And then Marina Vols, who is the father of this girl, I guess originally was sent to a male prison where he belongs, but then was quietly transferred to a female prison. 0.98

00:29:41.060 So, here, this is a, as the headline says, sadistic, violent, sexual predator who is guilty of victimizing his own daughter and exploiting her and turning her into a sex slave, trafficking her. 0.97

00:30:00.460 You know, she's, the child's a victim of sex trafficking at the hands of her own father. 1.00

00:30:07.820 And you're going to take this guy and put him into a cell with women. 1.00

00:30:14.880 All at the behest, and why is this happening?

00:30:17.760 It's all at the behest of trans activists, of course, in order to not hurt their feelings.

00:30:21.420 This is what we are supposed to accept, that the self-perception, the emotional affirmation of trans people is so important, is so crucial, should be such a priority.

00:30:43.060 In fact, should be our number one priority, to the extent that, in service to that self-perception, we will put violent sex offender males in prison cells with women. 0.96

00:30:54.640 So, you have this, that poor seven-year-old girl who was sexually tortured for who knows how long. 0.99

00:31:03.900 And as a punishment, we're going to take this, this pedophile, this creep, this monster, this animal, and we're going to put him in a cell with another woman who he can also sexually torture. 0.99

00:31:14.180 All right, I'll try to find something a little bit lighter. 0.99

00:31:19.560 This is, although not much more, this is a news station in New Mexico, had a segment with a, quote, local HR expert named Heather.

00:31:29.680 And they were talking about pronouns and how important it is to use pronouns in the workplace.

00:31:35.260 Let's watch some of that.

00:31:37.540 Pronouns in the workplace.

00:31:39.140 Do you know what your coworker prefers?

00:31:40.860 Well, joining me today is Heather Talamonte, founder of Tell Us About Yourself, Inc.

00:31:45.100 Thanks so much for joining us this morning.

00:31:46.700 Of course.

00:31:47.240 Good to have you back.

00:31:48.140 So, first off, let's talk about DEI in the workplace, and that's better known as diversity, equity, and inclusion.

00:31:54.480 How do we go about the discussion of pronouns?

00:31:56.880 So, essentially, the employee will reach out and say, hey, this is my preferred pronoun.

00:32:02.800 This is how I would like to be addressed in the workplace.

00:32:06.640 How we go about it is by respecting their request, right?

00:32:10.520 So, you want to make sure when they say, this is what I would like to be referred to, we address it and we honor that.

00:32:17.980 And we, moving forward, use that term.

00:32:20.960 Whether it's he, she, they, them, their, whatever they would like to use, we want to make sure we honor that request and make them feel comfortable in the workplace.

00:32:28.720 Is it appropriate for someone to ask what someone's preferred pronoun usages are?

00:32:32.240 You probably wouldn't want to ask.

00:32:33.680 That person would ask you.

00:32:34.820 Okay.

00:32:35.400 So, you know, if you, if they haven't fully made the decision on what pronoun they would like to use, let them come around to that decision and then ask.

00:32:44.900 If they haven't asked yet, it's not safe to assume.

00:32:47.580 We don't want to make any assumptions.

00:32:49.080 Right.

00:32:49.420 So, this is going to have, make people be more patient or have to be patient.

00:32:54.680 You do.

00:32:55.120 You have to be patient.

00:32:55.900 If you are the employee that is asking for a new preferred pronoun or pronoun that's not necessarily natural for individuals yet, just be patient as they learned to use the new pronoun or to address you by that pronoun.

00:33:11.000 Yes.

00:33:11.600 Be, be patient with me.

00:33:12.880 That is very important.

00:33:14.300 You know, if I'm working with you and you have a new pronoun you want to use, that's the only thing I would ask is, is personally, please be patient with me. 0.99

00:33:22.300 Um, and in fact, uh, I would have to bid that you be very patient indeed because you'll be waiting forever for me to respect your stupid pronouns. 0.98

00:33:33.760 So, you're going to have to be very, very patient. 0.99

00:33:36.360 You're going to be waiting until you die for me to care or respect your pronouns because I never will. 1.00

00:33:42.440 Ever.

00:33:43.240 It's not going to happen.

00:33:46.400 Well, it's, it's, it's what makes them comfortable.

00:33:49.280 You know, it makes them comfortable.

00:33:52.300 This is what we've talked about before.

00:33:54.020 One of the worst things about this is that, uh, one of the things that frustrates me so much and sickens me so much is that in spreading this pronoun madness, one of the ways that the left's been able to do it is by exploiting in other people.

00:34:09.900 What are good traits?

00:34:12.240 Like people are like, they like, they try to people, most people like to be polite.

00:34:16.200 They, most people want others around them to be comfortable.

00:34:19.560 And these are in most situations.

00:34:22.240 That's a positive trait.

00:34:24.780 It's the advantage that I have is that I don't share that positive trait.

00:34:29.120 So I don't care about being polite.

00:34:31.820 And I also really don't care if you're comfortable or not.

00:34:36.520 Like it's, that's just, it's not my, it's, I don't live my life worrying about that.

00:34:41.380 As far as I'm concerned, it's up to you to make yourself comfortable.

00:34:44.140 I don't say, how's that my concern?

00:34:46.540 So that's always been my approach.

00:34:48.180 And that's why I've always been less susceptible to this, but other people are nicer.

00:34:54.380 And so they, they are, can be easily exploited.

00:35:00.040 You know, we talk so much about how cowardice has led to the proliferation of gender ideology and cowardice is a big part of it.

00:35:05.720 But I'm also willing to accept that for, you know, a certain number of people who initially went along with the pronoun stuff, wasn't so much cowardice as just, they, they just were trying to be nice.

00:35:19.600 And they probably didn't think about it that much and, but then how quickly do they take advantage of your niceness and turn it into this?

00:35:34.100 Which is why I know it doesn't come naturally to a lot of people.

00:35:36.540 And again, it's, it's probably good if it doesn't come naturally to you, but we, in order to survive in this culture and also to retain and fight for any semblance of sanity and moral decency, you're going to, everyone needs to have a little bit of a harder edge.

00:35:53.120 And you got to get used to saying to people who tell you that what would make them comfortable, what would make them happy.

00:36:01.060 You have to get used to saying to them, I don't care.

00:36:04.080 That's your problem.

00:36:06.260 No ill will, you know, go off and try to be comfortable and happy, but it's not my concern.

00:36:14.160 All right.

00:36:14.680 A little bit more from this segment with the HR.

00:36:18.260 She's an HR expert.

00:36:19.560 I don't know if she actually works, works in HR.

00:36:21.240 HR, this is like, I thought the worst thing possible is to work in HR, but she's found one level that's even worse to be, you don't work in HR.

00:36:28.760 You're just, you're an HR expert outside of HR.

00:36:32.020 You are the HR for HR.

00:36:35.260 We'll watch a little bit more of this.

00:36:37.420 Also, if, as you're learning to address an individual by a pronoun, you can always just use their first name.

00:36:42.800 Can't go wrong with their first name, right?

00:36:44.460 So Colton is over there.

00:36:47.180 Right, right.

00:36:47.660 Colton will be here soon.

00:36:48.960 So you don't have to use a pronoun at all if you're not, you know, familiar with it, if it feels unnatural.

00:36:53.600 What if someone is refusing to use someone's preferred pronouns?

00:36:57.780 And this will happen.

00:36:58.880 I will be very honest.

00:36:59.960 In the workplace, this will happen.

00:37:01.280 We have feelings about the pronoun.

00:37:03.240 We don't agree with it.

00:37:04.520 So we don't know why we have to use it.

00:37:06.640 So it's important if you don't agree to still just use their first name.

00:37:12.720 This isn't something that would rise to the occasion of getting written up if you refuse to use it, but this could rise to the occasion of bullying.

00:37:19.200 That person may be repeatedly asking you, this is how I would like to be referred.

00:37:23.820 So it wouldn't rise to the occasion of getting written up, but it would be bullying.

00:37:30.560 And then bullying gets written up.

00:37:31.940 So ultimately, you're still going to get written up.

00:37:34.280 I do want to clarify one thing because this is important.

00:37:36.300 She says that she allows, right?

00:37:39.780 She's willing to.

00:37:40.660 She has grace enough to admit that there will be people who refuse to use the pronouns.

00:37:46.120 If you can believe it, dear God, there are people out there who will refuse to use them because they have feelings.

00:37:51.960 They have feelings about your pronouns.

00:37:54.760 And they have their own feelings and their own opinions about it, and they're against it.

00:37:59.480 Well, I want to clarify one thing.

00:38:00.740 As one of the people who will absolutely refuse to use your pronoun, it's not so much that I have feelings about your pronoun.

00:38:07.240 Because I'm not thinking about your pronouns at all.

00:38:09.280 So it's hard.

00:38:09.860 I don't generate any feelings about them because I'm not thinking about them.

00:38:15.160 Okay?

00:38:15.400 I don't have an opinion about it.

00:38:19.080 I don't really have an opinion either about it.

00:38:20.760 It's not an opinion.

00:38:22.020 Like if you're a man, then you're a he. 0.98

00:38:23.880 That's not an opinion.

00:38:24.540 It's just a fact.

00:38:26.480 As far as feelings, there aren't a lot of feelings about it.

00:38:28.520 I don't go around thinking about, well, what's their pronoun?

00:38:31.180 Oh, this is how I feel about that.

00:38:32.480 I just don't care.

00:38:33.900 See?

00:38:34.320 So you are coming to me.

00:38:39.000 You're the one with the feelings.

00:38:40.400 You're the one who cares.

00:38:41.440 And you are coming to me and asking me to do something.

00:38:45.400 And so it's not up to me to justify myself.

00:38:50.320 It's not up to me to have feelings about it, to explain my, quote, opinion or anything

00:38:56.000 like that.

00:38:59.040 I have lived my whole life calling men he, women she, because that's what you do. 0.94

00:39:03.920 And that's how I've lived my life.

00:39:07.280 You're coming to me with a request, which is really a demand, telling me to change, telling

00:39:12.880 me what you want me to do.

00:39:14.800 So it's up to you to explain why I should.

00:39:18.460 The burden is on you.

00:39:20.440 Give me one good reason.

00:39:23.840 So as always, they're trying to flip it around, where we have to justify ourselves.

00:39:31.800 If we want to continue simply living in reality, where men are men and women are women, then 0.81

00:39:36.360 we have to justify ourselves.

00:39:38.760 But it doesn't work that way.

00:39:40.240 I don't have to justify anything.

00:39:41.480 You have to justify.

00:39:43.200 So if you're a man coming to me saying, oh, I need you to call me a she, why should 0.97

00:39:47.140 I do that?

00:39:49.460 Now, I'm listening.

00:39:50.820 I'm sitting, I'm standing right here in front of me.

00:39:52.560 I'm not going to run away screaming.

00:39:54.500 If you have a really great argument, if you have something you could present that would

00:39:58.920 make me abandon everything I know about reality and the rules of grammar, then I'm all ears.

00:40:04.240 Go ahead and tell me.

00:40:07.200 But all you have is, well, it would make me feel better.

00:40:09.200 Well, okay.

00:40:09.560 It wouldn't make me feel better to abandon reality.

00:40:13.460 So, and we're talking about what I'm doing here, not what you're doing.

00:40:16.660 So why would I do that?

00:40:17.680 All right.

00:40:22.140 As we've talked a little bit about the unintended consequences, the trade-offs, you know, when

00:40:28.260 it comes to efforts by the climate alarmists and the environmentalists to supposedly save

00:40:33.580 the planet.

00:40:33.980 Here's another one.

00:40:34.960 This is from the Daily Wire.

00:40:35.820 It says, a law to conserve a species of fish may have inadvertently led to a recent uptick

00:40:40.840 in shark attacks in the state of New York.

00:40:42.660 Experts interviewed by the New York Post said that sharks are returning to the waters off

00:40:46.300 Long Island Sound because of a boom in the population of Atlantic Menhaden.

00:40:51.040 I think that's how you pronounce the species of fish, which is a species of fish native

00:40:55.520 to the area.

00:40:56.140 That means sharks have been approaching Long Island beaches and the process have been

00:40:59.000 coming dangerously close to, and in some cases, biting beachgoers.

00:41:01.900 And there have been, according to the executive director of the South Fork Natural History Museum

00:41:08.260 Shark Research and Education Program, the reason why people are interacting with sharks more

00:41:12.940 often this year and more than last year is because of the conservation efforts.

00:41:17.980 And I think it said there have been six beachgoers who have been victims of shark attacks already

00:41:23.920 so far this summer in New York.

00:41:26.380 By the way, I love that euphemism for, and I like that there are people out there doing

00:41:31.880 some PR cover for sharks by saying it's an interaction.

00:41:37.280 I had an interesting interaction with a shark today.

00:41:42.180 And you show your bloody stump of a leg.

00:41:45.740 Now, you might expect that my take here will be that the fish conservation was a bad idea

00:41:50.720 because now humans are suffering from shark attacks because of it.

00:41:54.980 But I'm going to surprise you and say, no, that's actually not my opinion.

00:41:59.660 That's not my take because the reason is that it's hard for me to sympathize

00:42:03.880 with shark attack victims at all.

00:42:07.360 Because the act of getting into the ocean is such a strange thing to me.

00:42:15.180 It's one of the strangest behaviors that humans engage in is to get into the ocean.

00:42:21.980 You've got this massive vat of water, hundreds of feet deep, pummeling the shore violently with waves.

00:42:32.000 This deep, dark, salty pool of death filled with man-eating monsters and other beasts unknown to us.

00:42:40.300 We don't even know everything that's down there.

00:42:42.780 We just know that it's hideous and monstrous looking.

00:42:46.520 And you're floating around and you have all of that death underneath you.

00:42:50.740 It's impossible to know exactly what's lurking under the surface.

00:42:55.340 And our response is to get into it.

00:42:58.680 And then the worst are people that, like, if you surf or something, then I can, it's not my thing,

00:43:04.620 but okay, that's a recreational activity I can sort of understand.

00:43:07.260 It does look sort of fun to do.

00:43:09.680 But most people who get into the ocean, they don't even do anything.

00:43:13.200 They just kind of, like, stand there and let the salty water pummel them in the face for 45 minutes,

00:43:19.500 and then they get out.

00:43:21.680 It's a very odd behavior.

00:43:23.060 So you are, look, when you get into the ocean, you are getting in.

00:43:25.860 This is where the sharks live.

00:43:26.780 This is their home.

00:43:27.820 They can't live anywhere else, in fairness to them.

00:43:30.360 So you are entering into the home.

00:43:32.400 You are knocking on the door of Mr. Shark and saying, may I come in?

00:43:35.600 And that's, when you look at it like that, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:43:39.060 All right, let's get now to the comment section.

00:43:40.680 Stephanie says, I was a mental health nurse for 45 years,

00:43:58.000 and you can't imagine the amount of people treated for normal reactions to what life throws at you.

00:44:03.180 I don't take medication and will never take it unless there is no other alternative,

00:44:06.980 and my life is in danger.

00:44:08.160 A powerful statement coming from, as you say, a mental health nurse,

00:44:12.760 and that's my approach to medication as well.

00:44:16.460 And that also applies to antidepressants and psychiatric medication.

00:44:22.440 Like I said yesterday, I'm not claiming that there's never an occasion

00:44:25.980 where someone should take a psychiatric medication.

00:44:29.020 I'm not saying that.

00:44:29.720 I think that there are occasions where that would be necessary as a band-aid.

00:44:34.740 Okay, when you're dealing with someone who is in especially imminent danger to harm themselves,

00:44:41.960 like you have to give them this or they're going to do something drastic.

00:44:45.840 They're going to hurt themselves or somebody else.

00:44:48.100 That would be an occasion to give medication.

00:44:50.520 Because then it's just you got to do anything you can do.

00:44:52.660 You have to do whatever is necessary to help that person in that moment.

00:44:56.420 But it is a band-aid.

00:44:57.720 It is not a cure.

00:44:59.700 It's not even really a treatment plan.

00:45:02.400 It's something that you do temporarily, and then you transition to lifestyle changes, therapy, counseling,

00:45:11.380 all of those things altogether.

00:45:12.580 So that's how I can see it.

00:45:17.040 And I think there are some people that, many people that would basically agree with that

00:45:23.160 and then say, well, so it's a problem of over-diagnosis.

00:45:25.380 No, it goes far beyond over-diagnosis.

00:45:28.740 When you've got, what was it yesterday, 65 million people on psychiatric medication,

00:45:32.380 that's not just over-diagnosis.

00:45:34.780 Okay, 65 million.

00:45:36.140 Over-diagnosis is really understating the problem.

00:45:38.500 And it's not just over-diagnosis, it's also misdiagnosis, faulty diagnosis,

00:45:47.200 and treatments that are given on a faulty basis, as we've seen.

00:45:56.780 Sphere Music Full says,

00:45:58.880 I tried an SSRI antidepressant.

00:46:01.360 It made me severely ill to the point where I believed I was having serotonin syndrome,

00:46:06.660 aka poisoning by antidepressants.

00:46:08.260 I told the doctor, and she got mad at me and seemed to think that I needed to push through

00:46:11.880 terrible side effects, never went back to her again.

00:46:14.340 I've heard so many stories like this.

00:46:16.160 Doctors, psychiatrists, that they put you on the pill very quickly,

00:46:21.000 and they actually get frustrated and upset if you try to get off of the pill.

00:46:25.240 And why do they do that?

00:46:26.320 Well, there's a financial motive, but also it is simply easier.

00:46:30.540 We heard that from the psychiatrists interviewed in the Daily Mail.

00:46:33.980 It's easier to give people a pill

00:46:35.900 than to sit down and talk to them and try to work through their problems.

00:46:39.980 You might think that that's what you're supposed to do if you're in the mental health industry.

00:46:44.680 But no, for a lot of these people, they want to give you the pill and they move on.

00:46:47.660 A lot easier for them, a lot less work.

00:46:51.600 And less training needed,

00:46:54.260 less skill involved.

00:46:56.320 Really no skill involved.

00:46:58.980 So that's the incentive.

00:47:03.340 Pam says,

00:47:05.500 Matt hit it right on the nail.

00:47:07.900 My daughter was bullied at school for calling someone by their wrong pronouns,

00:47:11.200 even though she didn't know what the heck the person's pronouns were.

00:47:14.280 She was also asked to state her pronouns in every single class,

00:47:18.280 every single day.

00:47:20.100 Needless to say,

00:47:20.680 she hated school and I pulled her out as soon as I could.

00:47:23.760 And now homeschool.

00:47:26.320 Well, that's, you did the right thing.

00:47:28.820 So she had to state her pronouns in every class,

00:47:32.560 every day.

00:47:32.900 I don't know why I'm surprised by that,

00:47:36.000 but I actually am a little bit.

00:47:37.060 I didn't know it was quite that bad.

00:47:41.320 Every time I think that I've,

00:47:42.800 I've kind of got the gist of it,

00:47:44.200 how bad things have gotten.

00:47:45.200 I find out that it's even worse than that.

00:47:50.860 Toxic373 says,

00:47:51.780 reminder,

00:47:52.440 Tom Cruise was right when he scolded Matt Lauer on the day show about psychiatry and

00:47:56.620 antidepressants.

00:47:57.720 He actually was right.

00:47:58.600 Let's go back because you,

00:47:59.940 you mentioned it.

00:48:00.620 Let's go back and remember this was Tom Cruise back in,

00:48:04.420 I think it was like 2004 or five.

00:48:06.620 This was,

00:48:07.040 this was a while ago.

00:48:08.040 This was over 15 years ago.

00:48:09.520 And he had this conversation with Matt Lauer and on the today show about psychiatry and

00:48:15.260 psychiatric medicine and depression.

00:48:17.020 And he has been mocked ruthlessly for this ever since,

00:48:21.280 but it turns out he was a hundred percent right.

00:48:23.460 Let's watch that again.

00:48:25.400 Here we are today where I talk out against drugs and psychiatric abuse.

00:48:30.620 of electric shocking people.

00:48:32.400 Okay.

00:48:33.040 Against their will of drugging children with them not knowing the effects of these drugs.

00:48:38.560 Do you know what Adderall is?

00:48:40.060 Do you know Ritalin?

00:48:41.180 Do you know now that Ritalin is a street drug?

00:48:44.280 Do you understand that?

00:48:45.360 The difference is this was not against her will though.

00:48:47.860 But this wasn't against Brooke's will.

00:48:49.620 Matt,

00:48:50.020 I'm asking you a question.

00:48:50.700 I understand there's abuse of all of these things.

00:48:53.200 No,

00:48:53.420 you see,

00:48:53.880 here's the problem.

00:48:54.640 You don't know the history of psychiatry.

00:48:56.900 I do.

00:48:57.700 All it does is mask the problem,

00:49:00.120 Matt.

00:49:00.220 And if you understand the history of it,

00:49:02.000 it masks the problem.

00:49:03.820 That's what it does.

00:49:05.620 That's all it does.

00:49:07.300 You're not getting to the reason why.

00:49:09.220 There is no such thing as a chemical imbalance.

00:49:12.180 I'm saying that drugs aren't the answer.

00:49:14.680 That these,

00:49:15.160 these drugs are very dangerous.

00:49:16.780 They're mind altering,

00:49:18.620 antipsychotic drugs.

00:49:20.600 And there are ways of doing it without that so that we don't end up in a brave new world.

00:49:25.200 Yes,

00:49:25.580 there are abuses.

00:49:26.840 And yes,

00:49:27.380 maybe they've gone too far in certain areas.

00:49:29.180 Maybe there are too many kids on Ritalin.

00:49:31.020 Maybe electric shock is...

00:49:32.180 Too many kids on Ritalin?

00:49:32.940 Matt.

00:49:33.240 I'm just saying.

00:49:34.100 But,

00:49:34.240 but aren't there examples where it works?

00:49:36.540 Matt,

00:49:36.600 Matt,

00:49:36.700 Matt,

00:49:37.080 Matt,

00:49:37.100 you don't even,

00:49:38.140 you're glib.

00:49:38.700 You don't even know what Ritalin is.

00:49:40.560 If you start talking about chemical imbalance,

00:49:42.720 you have to evaluate and read the research papers on how they came up with these theories,

00:49:46.880 Matt.

00:49:47.420 Okay?

00:49:47.980 That's what I've done.

00:49:49.500 And you go and you say,

00:49:50.680 where's the,

00:49:51.180 where's the medical test?

00:49:52.360 Where's the blood test that says how much Ritalin you're supposed to get?

00:49:56.420 It's very impressive to listen to you because clearly you've done the homework and you know the subject.

00:50:01.060 And you should.

00:50:01.820 And you should do that also because just knowing people who are on Ritalin isn't enough.

00:50:06.400 that he couldn't be more right about everything that he said.

00:50:13.500 And what he says there at the end though,

00:50:15.360 well,

00:50:15.460 just because you know someone on this drug and you say it works and that's,

00:50:18.340 that's not enough to declare that the drugs should be prescribed or that they work.

00:50:24.260 But that has always been the response.

00:50:27.800 Right?

00:50:28.280 What Matt Lauer is there,

00:50:29.360 Matt Lauer,

00:50:29.880 I thought did a very good job of playing the role of the kind of hapless,

00:50:34.780 uninformed person who has dipped their toe into this issue and has a lot of,

00:50:42.820 has a few anecdotal stories and then main,

00:50:45.800 and then,

00:50:46.100 and then kind of goes along with the mainstream narrative because of it.

00:50:49.040 He's playing that role,

00:50:50.320 you know,

00:50:50.700 convincingly because that's who he actually is and was.

00:50:54.780 It still is presumably,

00:50:56.480 but everything you heard from Matt Lauer and that exchange is like,

00:50:59.160 I've,

00:50:59.320 I've heard the same thing so many times over the years.

00:51:02.440 You,

00:51:03.040 you,

00:51:03.320 you make all these points,

00:51:04.440 you have data and research about the medicines that these,

00:51:08.000 the so-called medicines that the pharma is giving out about the psychiatric industry,

00:51:13.620 the way they go about these,

00:51:14.860 these issues.

00:51:15.700 You,

00:51:16.380 you have your criticisms that are well thought out based in research,

00:51:21.100 based in the data.

00:51:22.640 And then what you always get in response is,

00:51:24.500 yeah,

00:51:24.580 but I know someone,

00:51:25.760 I know someone who felt better with it.

00:51:30.000 And then,

00:51:30.660 well,

00:51:30.920 it might be overdiagnosed,

00:51:32.300 but certainly.

00:51:35.180 And then you,

00:51:35.480 you hand,

00:51:36.060 just by,

00:51:36.760 by say,

00:51:37.200 by,

00:51:37.480 with the acknowledgement that it might be overdiagnosed,

00:51:40.920 you hand wave away 65 million people on psychiatric medication.

00:51:49.100 And Tom Cruise,

00:51:50.340 again,

00:51:50.560 has been mocked for that ruthlessly ever since he was a hundred percent right.

00:51:57.180 Now,

00:51:57.960 Tom Cruise is a Scientologist.

00:52:01.880 And as people have pointed out online over the last day or two,

00:52:06.440 that,

00:52:06.820 well,

00:52:06.960 this doesn't vindicate Tom Cruise because he's a Scientologist.

00:52:09.540 And his criticism of psychiatry are rooted in,

00:52:12.800 in Scientology.

00:52:14.760 And the part that he doesn't say is that,

00:52:17.220 yeah,

00:52:17.400 modern psychiatry is flawed.

00:52:19.060 You shouldn't take these drugs.

00:52:20.380 You should be a Scientologist instead. 0.98

00:52:22.360 That's the part he doesn't say in the interview,

00:52:23.720 but that's what he means.

00:52:24.880 That's where he's leading to.

00:52:26.360 And you might be right about that.

00:52:27.660 In fact,

00:52:27.880 you probably are.

00:52:28.400 Now,

00:52:28.460 whether he is a Scientologist and yeah,

00:52:29.960 okay,

00:52:30.160 so you're right about that.

00:52:32.000 It doesn't change the fact that what he says there is true.

00:52:35.640 And the fact that the kooky, 0.99

00:52:38.200 crazy Scientologist, 0.94

00:52:39.540 has more insight into this issue and makes more sense than most other people talking about it.

00:52:49.880 The fact that the Scientologist makes more sense than most of the psychiatrists and big pharma executives on this issue.

00:52:57.720 That's not embarrassing for those of us who agree with Tom Cruise.

00:53:01.580 That's embarrassing for the rest of you.

00:53:04.020 That Tom Cruise is smarter than you on this,

00:53:05.880 on this subject.

00:53:07.520 Like if you disagree with Tom Cruise on that and then Tom Cruise is vindicated,

00:53:15.760 you should really look at yourself and ask yourself,

00:53:19.100 well,

00:53:19.220 how did the Scientologists get this right and I didn't?

00:53:21.500 That should be the wake-up call.

00:53:25.080 We're coming up on the first month anniversary of the launch of Daily Wire Plus,

00:53:28.920 which is a huge milestone.

00:53:30.280 We've already outlasted CNN Plus,

00:53:32.240 you know,

00:53:32.440 so we could at least have that going for us.

00:53:34.340 And we couldn't have done it without you.

00:53:36.380 So pat yourself on the back for that.

00:53:38.320 Well done.

00:53:39.180 If you're wondering what to watch this weekend,

00:53:41.380 then here's our top three choices.

00:53:43.000 You can start with my documentary,

00:53:44.280 What is a Woman? 1.00

00:53:45.300 If you haven't already seen it,

00:53:46.500 or if you have seen it,

00:53:47.380 go ahead and watch it again.

00:53:48.740 Then in honor of his impending retirement,

00:53:50.480 learn all about the person behind the mask,

00:53:52.760 the most successful failure in government history in Fauci unmasked.

00:53:56.000 And for a palate cleanser,

00:53:57.400 join Ben for Ben Shapiro's book club filmed in Israel,

00:54:00.020 as he explores Leon Urus' historical novel and international bestseller Exodus,

00:54:04.240 the compelling story of an American nurse,

00:54:06.080 an Israeli freedom fighter,

00:54:07.220 and the rebirth of a nation.

00:54:09.220 That's just the tip of the iceberg.

00:54:10.100 There's so much to watch over at dailywireplus.com.

00:54:13.640 So head there now, become a member,

00:54:15.140 and get 35% off your new membership.

00:54:17.220 That's dailywireplus.com today.

00:54:20.040 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:54:26.440 As we've seen,

00:54:27.540 Democrats have enormous difficulty defending abortion in and of itself,

00:54:31.420 or explaining why the average American should panic over the fact that women in some states

00:54:35.300 will no longer be able to have their babies legally dismembered.

00:54:38.020 And that's why, in wake of Roe's termination,

00:54:40.500 they've embarked on a desperate and far-reaching campaign to change the subject.

00:54:45.800 They've said that the end of Roe is somehow a threat to quote-unquote marriage equality.

00:54:49.900 They've said that it's even a threat to interracial marriage somehow.

00:54:52.680 And they also claim that the end of Roe will make it more difficult or even impossible

00:54:55.820 for people to access contraception.

00:54:58.980 On that final note,

00:54:59.900 the House of Representatives yesterday,

00:55:00.960 in response to the phantom threat to birth control,

00:55:02.940 voted on the Right to Contraception Act. 0.93

00:55:05.380 The measure passed with a big assist from an all-star lineup of the most useless Republican squishes 0.96

00:55:10.540 to ever walk the earth, 0.96

00:55:12.040 a group of eight headlined, as always, by Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and Nancy Mace.

00:55:16.380 All of these spineless lumps of sentient sludge hopped on board

00:55:21.800 in an effort to protect access to birth control.

00:55:26.080 We've, of course, been told for many years that women are having trouble accessing contraception.

00:55:30.900 But where are these women with access problems? 1.00

00:55:34.240 I mean, where do they live exactly?

00:55:35.360 The Sahara Desert?

00:55:36.540 The moon?

00:55:37.920 Because if they live anywhere in civilization,

00:55:39.880 they are surely only a few miles away from contraception at any given moment.

00:55:44.620 So if it's that important to you,

00:55:45.980 you can rest assured if you live in Western civilization,

00:55:48.820 you are never more than like three miles from some kind of contraception.

00:55:55.080 And you're zero miles away from the ultimate contraception, which is abstinence.

00:55:58.400 But you could buy it at gas stations.

00:56:01.300 You can buy it at grocery stores, drug stores, Walmart, Target, Rite Aid, Walgreens, CVS.

00:56:06.380 You can get it for free at many medical clinics.

00:56:08.420 You can have it delivered to your door.

00:56:12.080 Many of the women who've complained about this live in cities. 1.00

00:56:15.440 They live in cities where there's just,

00:56:17.400 you don't have to walk more than 15 steps to find birth control.

00:56:23.520 Birth control practically rains from the sky in our country.

00:56:26.520 And I have no doubt that if it did literally rain from the sky like manna,

00:56:31.740 still the left would complain about their inability to access it.

00:56:35.000 The simple act of bending down each morning to pick up the contraception bundles 0.74

00:56:39.100 that are spread across the grass like dew will be too much of a burden to bear.

00:56:44.820 Until free contraception is literally placed directly in the hands of each American every day,

00:56:50.600 there will be a crisis of contraception access.

00:56:53.140 And we're going to need bills like this one to address the mythical problem.

00:56:58.240 But just because this is a messaging virtue signal bill

00:57:01.700 passed in response to a non-existent threat

00:57:03.700 and intended to solve a problem that doesn't exist,

00:57:05.840 that doesn't mean the bill would do nothing, right?

00:57:08.500 On the contrary, the legislation would and is designed to

00:57:11.060 supersede the Religious Freedom Restoration Act,

00:57:14.740 abolishing conscience rights and religious freedom where this issue is concerned,

00:57:18.260 and declaring birth control, including drugs that induce abortion,

00:57:21.900 a constitutional God-given right.

00:57:25.040 As John McCormick in the National Review writes,

00:57:27.440 the Democrats' right to contraception act explicitly condemns

00:57:30.060 state conscience laws that protect health care providers who refuse to offer contraception.

00:57:35.040 As Representative Kathy McMorris Rogers,

00:57:37.120 ranking member of the Energy and Commerce Committee, pointed out on Monday,

00:57:39.740 the bill was introduced last Friday and bypassed the usual committee process

00:57:42.560 where several troubling aspects of the bill could have been thoroughly debated.

00:57:45.620 For example, the bill undermines laws that protect minors,

00:57:49.440 which means that under this extreme agenda,

00:57:52.060 a Planned Parenthood can use taxpayer dollars to sterilize

00:57:55.740 a 13-year-old without her parents' knowledge.

00:57:58.620 The text of the bill states that a person with no minimum age listed

00:58:01.380 has a statutory right under this act to obtain contraceptions

00:58:04.520 and to engage in contraception,

00:58:05.860 and a health care provider has a corresponding right to provide contraceptives

00:58:09.020 and information related to contraception.

00:58:12.280 Has a corresponding right.

00:58:13.760 All right, so that means that the Planned Parenthood has a right,

00:58:18.000 a God-given right, to give contraception to kids.

00:58:22.440 Of course, Democrats, they just can't help themselves

00:58:24.320 but add some grooming into every bill. 0.93

00:58:26.880 And this is a classic Democrat tactic here.

00:58:29.720 Respond to the alleged radicalism on the other side

00:58:32.640 by passing a bill far more radical than anything the other side

00:58:36.260 ever proposed or attempted.

00:58:37.560 For her part, Nancy Pelosi said that any Republican who opposes this assault

00:58:42.060 on religious liberty must not understand the birds and the bees.

00:58:46.560 Listen.

00:58:47.440 I ask those who oppose contraception, again,

00:58:51.020 do you even know what's going on in your own families?

00:58:54.620 Why don't you ask,

00:58:56.080 do we need a session of the birds and the bees

00:58:58.460 to talk about why this is important?

00:59:02.000 What's going on here?

00:59:04.160 Is there blind desire to have women controlled and in servitude 0.99

00:59:10.860 such that they don't even want to know the truth

00:59:14.480 about family planning and contraception?

00:59:18.200 Why, yes, Nancy, let's have that talk.

00:59:20.680 I mean, I do think some of the basics of human sexuality

00:59:26.080 probably need to be reviewed.

00:59:28.100 How are babies made exactly, Nancy?

00:59:29.960 Can you explain that?

00:59:31.820 Are babies made when a man and a woman have sex, 1.00

00:59:34.660 as I always thought,

00:59:35.440 or can they come about some other way? 0.95

00:59:37.840 Can two men have sex 0.95

00:59:39.460 and then one of the men ends up pregnant? 0.83

00:59:41.940 Can the copulation of two women lead to a pregnancy?

00:59:45.540 That's what your side believes now.

00:59:47.580 Do you believe it?

00:59:49.400 Oh, and while we're on the subject,

00:59:50.320 what is conceived exactly?

00:59:52.020 What is that life form in the womb?

00:59:54.060 What do we call it?

00:59:55.140 I mean, what species is it?

00:59:56.780 Can you answer that?

00:59:57.560 Is it a human life?

01:00:00.900 It seems that the birds and bees conversation

01:00:02.760 is very complicated over on your side, in fact.

01:00:05.420 And if they can't explain the birds and the bees,

01:00:07.840 then we can be fairly confident

01:00:09.300 that they won't be able to explain concepts

01:00:11.140 that are more difficult,

01:00:13.220 like the concept of a human right.

01:00:16.440 Because even if you think that birth control

01:00:18.420 is the greatest thing in the world,

01:00:20.980 which based on the number of children I have

01:00:22.960 is clearly not my view,

01:00:24.760 but even if it's yours,

01:00:26.520 you still cannot coherently claim

01:00:28.200 that birth control is a right.

01:00:30.240 Because a right is supposed to be God-given.

01:00:32.320 It's supposed to be ingrained in our nature

01:00:33.880 as human beings,

01:00:34.880 fundamental to the human condition.

01:00:36.680 This is the concept of rights

01:00:38.020 that lies at the foundation of our country.

01:00:39.640 And it's what our entire system of government

01:00:41.420 is based on.

01:00:42.960 If artificial birth control is such a right,

01:00:45.840 then it would be true

01:00:47.080 that nobody in any circumstance,

01:00:49.100 for any reason,

01:00:50.280 would have the right to refuse to provide it to you.

01:00:53.840 The left says that it is a right

01:00:55.320 because to them,

01:00:57.320 a right is simply anything they want.

01:01:00.320 If they want it,

01:01:01.500 they have a right to it.

01:01:02.560 And that's why whenever you tell them

01:01:05.340 that they don't have a right to something,

01:01:07.500 they take it to mean

01:01:08.840 that they cannot have the thing at all.

01:01:11.400 They don't recognize the distinction

01:01:12.660 between a want and a right,

01:01:13.840 a privilege and a right,

01:01:14.660 a product they desire and a right.

01:01:16.180 So when you say,

01:01:18.960 you don't have a right to that,

01:01:20.080 you're saying I can't have it?

01:01:21.280 Well, no, that's not the same.

01:01:23.560 That's not the same.

01:01:26.660 They think everything is a right

01:01:28.000 if they want it.

01:01:29.420 They've sought to reconfigure

01:01:30.780 the whole notion of human rights

01:01:32.360 in a way that

01:01:33.160 does not expand our rights, actually,

01:01:36.620 but rather limits our rights

01:01:38.120 in favor of their ever-growing list

01:01:39.900 of want-based rights.

01:01:42.360 So they abolish rights

01:01:43.820 rooted in human nature,

01:01:44.980 which are our actual rights,

01:01:46.180 for the sake of rights

01:01:47.120 rooted in desire.

01:01:50.060 Their ultimate goal

01:01:51.080 is a country filled with slaves

01:01:53.400 who possess no fundamental human rights, 0.99

01:01:56.060 but who remain satiated

01:01:57.380 because their desires are met.

01:02:00.780 That's why birth control 1.00

01:02:01.760 is so important to these people,

01:02:02.940 especially the ones in charge. 0.82

01:02:05.920 Comfortable, oversexed, overfed vassals. 0.87

01:02:08.440 That's what they want us to be. 0.97

01:02:09.500 That's their vision.

01:02:11.220 A brave new world, in other words.

01:02:13.400 Huxley had it right all along.

01:02:15.440 And the Right to Contraception Act

01:02:17.940 is yet another step in that direction,

01:02:20.740 which is why it is today canceled.

01:02:23.360 And that'll do it for us today.
