The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 999 - Arrested For Making Trans People Feel Sad

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, British police are now carting people away in handcuffs for the crime

00:00:04.700 of causing trans people to feel anxiety. If you think this madness isn't coming to the United 1.00

00:00:09.800 States, you've got another thing coming. Also, Ron DeSantis proves yet again why he's the most

00:00:13.900 effective Republican leader in the country. He's got a couple new moves that are really great we'll

00:00:18.420 talk about. And a drag queen performed for kids at a church in New York, but the story only gets

00:00:23.480 worse from there somehow. And our Daily Cancellation, the saga of racist parade mascots,

00:00:28.300 continues. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:41.460 The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is a huge, albeit long overdue, step in the right

00:00:46.480 direction, but there's still a long way to go to rid our country of abortion completely. Many 0.93

00:00:51.220 companies are bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and candidates are reimbursing

00:00:56.160 their employees' travel expenses so that if they live and work in a pro-life state, they can travel

00:01:00.900 to a pro-abortion state and get an abortion and then be back at work on Monday. Well, what if I

00:01:06.340 told you that you're currently on a phone plan with one of the major carriers? If you are, you might be

00:01:10.400 supporting these kind of companies and their pro-abortion agenda with your monthly phone bill.

00:01:15.080 You might be inadvertently, indirectly paying for people to take vacations and get abortions.

00:01:19.980 Don't let abortionists use your money to fund policies you don't believe and switch to

00:01:23.720 Charity Mobile instead. Charity Mobile is a pro-life, pro-family cell phone company that sends

00:01:27.200 5% of your monthly plan price to the pro-life charity of your choice. You don't have to compromise

00:01:31.600 on values or good phone service. Charity Mobile offers the latest 5G phones, no device or service

00:01:36.360 contracts, great nationwide coverage, and live customer service base right here in the USA.

00:01:40.520 The fight for the right to life continues and pro-life causes need your support. You can help by

00:01:44.580 simply switching your phone service to Charity Mobile today. Call 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them

00:01:50.460 online at charitymobile.com. Mention offer code Walsh to redeem a free cell phone offer as well.

00:01:55.400 That's charitymobile.com and mention code Walsh.

00:01:59.060 In many ways, it would seem that Western Europe, along with Canada and probably Australia,

00:02:04.220 are seated farther up on the crazy train. And, you know, that's probably true. But the important

00:02:08.640 point is that we're all on the same train, headed over the same precipice and down into the same dark

00:02:14.520 depths. To peer then over our northern border or across the ocean, it's to look at our immediate

00:02:21.220 future. It's like looking into a crystal ball. And that's why this story, which hasn't gotten very

00:02:25.920 much attention in this country, ought to get some attention, ought to give us pause. The Daily Mail

00:02:30.580 reported this week, they report, an army veteran was arrested by police for causing anxiety after

00:02:37.380 retweeting a picture of a swastika made out of pride flags on social media. Darren Brady, 51,

00:02:43.380 has slammed Hampshire police for impeding his right to free speech after he's placed in handcuffs on

00:02:48.240 Friday at his home in Aldershot for sharing a meme. Footage of the arrest was widely shared on social

00:02:53.540 media and showed an officer who told Mr. Brady he was being apprehended because his post had caused

00:02:59.080 anxiety and been reported to authorities. The image Mr. Brady retweeted was of a swastika that had been

00:03:05.240 digitally manipulated and was made out of four LGBT pride flags. Well, clearly the best way to 1.00

00:03:11.760 disprove the point he was making with the swastika meme is to arrest him for posting it.

00:03:17.720 Certainly not as, it's not as though such a response exactly demonstrates the very thing the

00:03:22.440 meme was commenting on. But I think you need to hear, you heard the reason there about anxiety,

00:03:26.840 but you need to hear it for yourself. The British police officer explaining this as he's making the

00:03:32.020 arrest. So here's the footage now. Watch.

00:03:35.340 Hampshire police would realise how ridiculous this is. 0.95

00:03:40.100 What did it need to come to?

00:03:44.660 Tell us why you isolated it to this level, because I don't understand. I posted something that he posted,

00:03:50.280 you come to arrest me, you don't arrest him. Why has it come to this? Why am I in cuffs? Because

00:03:54.260 it's something he shared, then I shared. Because someone has been caused, obviously, anxiety based

00:04:00.460 upon your social media post. That's why you've been arrested. Someone has been caused anxiety by your

00:04:08.680 social media post. You're in handcuffs and will be carted to jail because your meme made somebody

00:04:14.680 anxious. My favourite thing is the tone the officer uses. He says, well, obviously someone has been

00:04:20.400 caused anxiety. It's obvious. Of course he's going to arrest you for creating anxiety in the precious,

00:04:26.360 fragile mind of some gender non-conforming person. Obviously. What else is he going to do? 1.00

00:04:33.100 What to the sane among us seems utterly insane and totally beyond the bounds of reason is to him

00:04:39.340 self-evident and uncontroversial. Well, this is no surprise coming from a British police officer. After

00:04:45.480 all, these are the people just recently, a few weeks ago, caught on film in uniform dancing at a

00:04:51.260 gay pride rally. Let's see that. That's some real police work there. I suppose we have no room to 1.00

00:05:14.020 laugh over here in the States. We've seen cops in this country kneel in submission at BLM rallies. So

00:05:20.420 basically the same sort of thing. And we especially cannot laugh because we are fast approaching the

00:05:25.400 day when a meme critical of the trans agenda will result in more than just a Twitter suspension.

00:05:32.480 Soon we're going to see people getting carted away in handcuffs too. And it will happen. It's going to

00:05:38.120 happen and soon. And that move will begin, if Biden has anything to say about it, on college campuses

00:05:44.160 with this administration's proposed changes to Title IX. Like we talked about when the proposal was first

00:05:48.780 published a little while ago, Biden wants to change Title IX, not only to give men the unquestioned right

00:05:56.200 to access any female facility or sports team anywhere they want without impediment, but also to make it a 1.00

00:06:01.860 legal violation, as the British police officer says, to cause anxiety to a protected class of people.

00:06:08.300 There was a lawyer named Cece O'Leary who recently explained the changes at a Heritage Foundation event.

00:06:13.940 And she explained that under the current Title IX guidelines, a student or staff member at a

00:06:21.500 university could be considered in violation if they engage in harassment, a verbal harassment that

00:06:29.000 is severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive. That's the current rule as it stands. Now,

00:06:37.080 there are obviously problems even with the rule as it stands, potential problems,

00:06:40.880 but it does create a relatively high bar. If you want to get someone kicked off campus for harassing

00:06:46.680 you, you have to prove that what they're saying was offensive and pervasive and severe, all three

00:06:53.900 of those things. Which means that you can't hear something that somebody says that offends you one

00:06:59.980 time and then get the person kicked out of school. You have to prove that you were harassed in a way that

00:07:05.800 was severe and pervasive and personal towards you. But as O'Leary explains, Biden wants to change the

00:07:12.500 and to an or. So it's not severe and pervasive, it's severe or pervasive. And that will have

00:07:22.080 absolutely devastating effects for free speech on campus, obviously by design. Let's listen to her

00:07:26.900 explaining. A speech that would be severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive would be a man calling

00:07:35.600 a woman a derogatory name. He says it, and we all agree that it's a bad name. He says it over and over

00:07:42.620 again, and it causes her to maybe fear for her physical safety. Maybe he's shouting it at her as

00:07:48.380 he's running after her. That would be harassment. Or maybe he's saying it over and over and over again

00:07:53.140 in class to the point where she does not feel safe going to class anymore. That would be harassment 0.94

00:07:58.260 under the current rule. Under the proposed change to the rule, it would just be saying a comment about

00:08:04.800 it would be misgendering somebody. It would be saying the wrong pronoun that that person does not identify

00:08:11.380 with. Under the new rule, that person could find that comment severe, period. And they could report you

00:08:18.340 and the college could find you guilty of harassment. So under this new proposed change to Title IX,

00:08:27.080 we are worried that students are going to have their speech chilled even more than it already is.

00:08:32.400 Students are going to be deterred from ever speaking up and saying anything because they risk,

00:08:38.140 especially conservative students, will risk their views being targeted and being punished now on their

00:08:44.620 campus. So, you know, a concrete example of this could be you want to host a conservative speaker.

00:08:51.200 Let's say you want to have Matt Walsh come onto campus and debate somebody. Under these new changes to

00:08:56.300 Title IX, you might not be able to do that because Matt Walsh could be labeled a harassing figure and this is

00:09:02.920 harassing speech and therefore the college will not allow him to come onto campus. So there are definitely some

00:09:09.680 serious concerns here with this Title IX change and there are other concerns as well that I'm sure

00:09:15.100 my co-panelists can speak to. Well, of course, you want to keep that unsavored character off your 0.99

00:09:20.200 campus. But generally, the groundwork is already laid here. The foundation has long since been

00:09:26.340 excavated. Now, all the tyrants have to do is start building on the work they've already done.

00:09:31.260 To say something that somebody in a privileged class doesn't like to make them uncomfortable,

00:09:35.840 whether intentionally or not, is to commit harassment. And harassment is a violation on

00:09:41.760 college campuses. Harassment is a crime, actually. Criminals get arrested. So you see how the dots

00:09:46.780 connect. It's not very hard to see. But in fact, the foundations for this kind of words are violence

00:09:51.960 idea, the foundation goes further back and is deeper than most people realize. If you have heeded my

00:09:58.400 many recommendations to read Carl Truman's book, The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, then you'll know

00:10:03.780 that this is all the consequence of what other philosophers have dubbed living in the age of

00:10:11.660 the psychological man or the expressive individual. Now, for most of human history, as Truman talks

00:10:17.780 about in his book, human beings found meaning and purpose through external realities. Happiness and

00:10:25.380 fulfillment could be found in the ways that we are situated within stable structures like the family,

00:10:31.140 the community, the church, your country. Individuals define themselves by these relationships and these

00:10:38.680 roles. If you had gone to a person at any point before modern times and asked them to tell you about

00:10:45.380 themselves, they would have immediately started talking about the roles that they play. They would

00:10:50.440 have identified, I'm a father, I do this for a living. That's how they would have identified

00:10:55.860 themselves. They probably would have listing their faith probably first and foremost. But that's all

00:11:01.420 changed in the modern age. Now, individuals are encouraged to find meaning inside themselves. As

00:11:07.680 Truman wrote in an essay on this subject a couple years ago, this is the notion that human flourishing

00:11:13.640 is found primarily in an inner sense of well-being, that authenticity is found by being able to act

00:11:19.280 outwardly as one feels inwardly, and that who we are is largely a matter of personal choice,

00:11:24.880 not external imposition. And of course, I would add that the rejection of external imposition includes

00:11:32.100 biology and nature, because we're now meant to believe that even nature, even God, cannot impose

00:11:39.780 on us any definition of our true selves. Nobody decides who or what we are. Nobody and nothing. It's totally

00:11:48.460 up to us. This is entirely determined by our own egos, and our ego is where we live. We are

00:11:54.540 absorbed within it, barely coming up for air. This shift in the way that human beings see themselves,

00:12:02.040 this transformation or degradation, as the case may be, in the very definition of selfhood,

00:12:08.160 is what explains nearly everything that we're seeing happen around us. And it's what has led,

00:12:15.480 and will continue to lead, to the forcible suppression of many kinds of speech, especially speech that

00:12:21.680 causes someone to question their inner experience of their own selfhood, right? Speech that causes,

00:12:27.920 as the police officer said, anxiety. Since your inner self is all that matters, since it's the truest

00:12:34.180 version of yourself, then speech which interferes with it becomes a form of violence. It's murder,

00:12:40.960 in effect. And that's why the enemies of free speech can stamp out free speech wherever they find it,

00:12:46.780 while claiming and actually believing that they cherish free speech. They could be on this crusade

00:12:54.200 to utterly destroy free speech, while telling themselves and everybody else, and being deluded

00:13:01.020 enough to actually believe that they cherish the very thing that they're destroying. Because in their

00:13:05.620 minds, what they're attacking isn't speech, you know, it's violence, it's assault, it's murder.

00:13:10.820 Maybe not physically, but internally. And as we've seen, the internal is all that matters.

00:13:21.200 And that's what's happening. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:31.080 It's been a big year for healthcare data breaches. A recent breach at a debt collection firm exposed data

00:13:35.980 from 1.9 million patients tied to 657 healthcare providers. That's a huge number of people affected,

00:13:43.400 but as crazy as it sounds, that's only the third largest healthcare breach reported this year. The other

00:13:48.420 two impacted 2.8 million people and 2 million patients, respectively. It's important to understand how

00:13:54.360 cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our lives every day. Your personal information gets exposed so

00:14:38.480 All right, I have to tell you about this because it's been weighing on my mind. Before we get to

00:14:41.820 the five headlines, if you'll bear with me, I've just, I've been struggling with it and I've been,

00:14:47.800 I've hesitated to talk about it because I don't want to throw my employer under the bus,

00:14:55.060 but I have to get this off my chest come what may. So this is something that I just found out about

00:15:00.460 recently when my producer Sean told me about it. Apparently, back when Johnny the Walrus first came

00:15:07.880 out, somebody here at the Daily Wire got the idea that they should celebrate the book and congratulate

00:15:14.160 me for the success of my book, which you can still buy at johnnythewalrus.com, by having a custom

00:15:19.720 stuffed walrus made. And then they would give it to me. And they wanted the stuffed walrus to be

00:15:26.360 like as big as a real walrus, like this massive thing, at least the size of a large beanbag chair.

00:15:32.420 And this plan was agreed upon and they decided they were going to surprise me with the stuffed

00:15:36.260 walrus because everyone knows I love surprises. And they're going to give it to me during a backstage

00:15:40.820 episode. So they had this huge stuffed walrus made, custom made, who knows how much it cost it.

00:15:46.680 And they had it shipped to the office. They carted it in. It was like a surprise, unbeknownst to me,

00:15:51.560 I didn't know about any of this. Everything was in order. Everything was paid for and received.

00:15:55.720 And then they just never gave me the walrus. For whatever reason, the enormous stuffed walrus was

00:16:03.280 never actually given to me. The whole plan was executed, every part of it, except for the part where

00:16:10.580 I was actually given the gift. And so that's why now today there is in our office, like in storage

00:16:17.160 somewhere, this huge stuffed walrus that no one knows what to do with. It's just sitting there.

00:16:22.480 And what makes this so bizarre, again, is not that they decided to bail on the plan of giving me a huge

00:16:27.180 stuffed walrus. That would be understandable. It's that they made it and had it shipped and then never

00:16:33.240 never gave it to me. So Sean told me about this. And of course, my question was, well, can I have it?

00:16:40.680 Can I have my walrus? And he said, do you want it? And I said, yeah, of course I want it. What do you

00:16:45.940 mean? It's my walrus. It was made for me. I want the big stuffed walrus. And it was still never given

00:16:50.780 to me. And then yesterday where I'm in my office with McKenna and Sean, I bring it up again. I said,

00:16:55.000 can I have my stuffed walrus? I would like to have it. And again, the question was, well,

00:17:01.120 do you really want it? Yes, I want the walrus. And so yesterday I go looking for the walrus. I can't

00:17:07.220 find it anywhere. And now I'm starting to think, did they re-gift it? Was this giant stuffed walrus

00:17:13.500 given to somebody else? So it's a really, it's an awkward situation where this gift was never given

00:17:19.800 to me and now I'm asking for it and they still won't give it to me. It's really bizarre. Why can't I

00:17:25.640 have my walrus is my question? This walrus, it's like the equivalent of, it's the, it's the walrus

00:17:32.220 equivalent of the bridge to nowhere. It's like a, this, this bureaucratic boondoggle, this random

00:17:38.360 expensive thing that was, that was never used for anything. And I just don't know what to do. So

00:17:44.280 that's it. Hashtag give Matt his walrus. We will go here, maybe something slightly more important

00:17:52.640 than the saga of the stuffed walrus is this. And this was kind of teased yesterday that from Ron

00:17:59.960 DeSantis' camp down in Florida, that they were going to be making a big announcement.

00:18:03.360 And then they made it today. And this is from, actually there are a couple of big announcements.

00:18:07.520 We'll go with what happened today. This is Fox News. It says, Republican Florida Governor Ron

00:18:12.840 DeSantis suspended liberal state attorney Andrew Warren on Thursday. DeSantis made the announcement

00:18:18.540 during a Thursday press conference broadcast on social media. DeSantis argued that Warren has

00:18:23.740 repeatedly refused to enforce laws passed by the legislature, cracking down on child sex change

00:18:30.400 surgeries and abortion restrictions. DeSantis' office has said in a statement, we are suspending Soros-backed

00:18:35.700 13th Circuit state attorney Andrew Warren for neglecting his duties as he pledges not to uphold the laws of

00:18:41.020 the state. The Constitution of Florida has, this is DeSantis now quoting, the Constitution of Florida has

00:18:45.760 vested the veto power in the governor, not in the state attorneys. We are not going to allow this

00:18:49.740 pathogen of ignoring the law to get a foothold in the state of Florida. Officials said Warren has

00:18:55.060 repeatedly tried to install himself as an adjudicator of what laws will and will not be allowed.

00:19:00.800 And so now they're saying that they're going to simply suspend him. Now, this is a big announcement,

00:19:07.580 a big and significant announcement. It shouldn't be, right? I mean, this shouldn't even be news

00:19:14.460 at all. We should see this and say, oh, well, right. So again, a Republican governor is suspending

00:19:22.180 a DA who refuses to enforce the law. Because this is the kind of thing that we should have seen many

00:19:26.300 examples of this already. Because there are a great many district attorneys all throughout the country

00:19:36.600 who have just decided on their own that, no, I don't like that law, so I'm going to pretend it

00:19:42.340 doesn't exist. I'm going to rewrite the law for myself and determine which laws will be enforced

00:19:48.120 and which won't be enforced. And these DAs have made this, and again, most of them, yes, funded and

00:19:55.180 installed by George Soros. And they've made this decision, and oftentimes they're in blue states

00:20:00.440 where there's no one who could even hold them accountable who has a position of power. But then

00:20:04.780 oftentimes also they're in red states. And the red state governors just sit there, sitting on their

00:20:11.020 hands like they can't do anything about it. They're totally powerless. What DeSantis is doing here is,

00:20:16.800 of course, exactly the right thing to do. If you're not going to do your job, then you're done.

00:20:23.320 You don't get to decide what laws are enforced. I don't care if you don't like the law.

00:20:28.320 Okay, as a district attorney in a city, the city is not your own little fiefdom where you can make up

00:20:34.640 the rules for yourself. If you don't like the rules, if you don't like the laws and don't want to

00:20:38.900 enforce them, then step down and let someone else step in who will do his job. This is your duty.

00:20:45.040 This is your responsibility. But what makes this sort of significant and even somewhat shocking in

00:20:53.940 a way is, again, that Republicans never do this kind of thing. This is one of the most consistent

00:21:02.100 things about Republicans is that, of course, they are usually useless and they do not want to use 0.98

00:21:08.300 the power that they've been given. And that goes to Republicans who are governors of states. That goes 0.97

00:21:14.800 to Republicans on the federal level, in Congress. And that also applies to many Republican presidents

00:21:23.060 that we've had, including the most recent Republican president, who was very reluctant to use the power

00:21:29.320 that had been given to him by the nature of his office. And you could kind of see why Republicans

00:21:37.940 would be afraid and don't want to use the power that they're given. A couple of reasons. One is that

00:21:43.220 if you use the power that you've been given, that you're putting yourself in line for lots of criticism

00:21:47.280 from the left and from the media. And the piranhas are going to swarm around you and try to eat you

00:21:53.520 alive, right? So they're trying to avoid that because they're cowards. But then the other thing too is that 0.99

00:21:58.120 you know, when you have power and you use it, now you're putting yourself, you're going out on a limb

00:22:06.660 because if things don't, if things go wrong, if things go badly, now you could be held accountable

00:22:13.900 for that. So it's a lot safer to be given power and then never use it. Just kind of coast along.

00:22:22.500 Enjoying the prestige of your office, enjoying all the different perks that come with it,

00:22:28.800 but never actually using your power. Because if you never do anything, then no one can

00:22:34.220 criticize you for the things you did because you didn't do anything.

00:22:40.100 I think the real courage that we see with DeSantis, I mean, even aside from facing down the radical left

00:22:44.960 and everything else, the real courage is being willing to do things, to do what he's supposed to

00:22:51.200 do in his position and live with the consequences. If it doesn't go right, then that's on him and he

00:23:02.000 knows that and he's willing to do that, to accept that. I mean, this is just, I know you've heard me

00:23:10.780 say it so many times, but it's such an obvious choice and he hasn't announced yet his run for

00:23:17.820 president in 2024, but I think he will announce. I think he's all the more likely to announce if

00:23:25.520 the people, especially Republican and conservative voters speak up and say, we want you to run,

00:23:32.940 please run, you're the guy. I think he'll definitely run in that case. I think the only

00:23:38.380 thing that would stop DeSantis from running is if he looks at the situation and decides

00:23:42.060 that there's a lot more enthusiasm among Republicans for Trump. And so he doesn't

00:23:47.500 want to get in there and get into a nasty battle with Trump. And so he's going to sit it out.

00:23:52.320 And so I think it's really important for all of us, those who have platforms and we all have

00:23:57.960 platforms these days, no matter how big or small your platform is, if you're a Republican,

00:24:02.900 if you're a conservative to say, no, he's the guy, please run. I think you're the guy.

00:24:08.380 And there's just, there are some other Republicans out there that could, that I hope also run because

00:24:14.580 I, you know, I don't want an uncontested primary, right? You want to, and it's a iron sharpens iron

00:24:19.700 and that kind of thing. And there are some other interesting options, but when you have someone

00:24:25.300 who's a young guy, governed successfully, isn't afraid of the left, isn't afraid to use the power

00:24:31.740 that he's been given, checks every single box. So it's could not be more obvious.

00:24:37.380 And speaking of checking the boxes, that was yesterday. Now let's go back to, or rather,

00:24:41.920 this was this morning. Let's go back to yesterday when Ron DeSantis announced that there's going to

00:24:47.480 be accountability in his state now for doctors who mutilate children. Listen.

00:24:52.660 Talk about these very young kids getting gender affirming care. They don't tell you what that is,

00:24:58.940 is they're actually giving very young girls double mastectomies. They want to castrate these young 1.00

00:25:04.180 boys. That's wrong. And so we've stood up and said, both from the health and children wellbeing

00:25:09.860 perspective, you know, you don't disfigure 10, 12, 13 year old kids, uh, based on gender dysphoria,

00:25:18.240 80% of it resolves anyways, by the time they get older. So why would you be doing this? I think these

00:25:23.320 doctors need to get sued for what's happening. I'm sorry. Uh, they need to be sued. Yes, absolutely.

00:25:32.300 And we are going to see, uh, the lawsuits that are going to be the class action lawsuits that we're

00:25:37.280 going to see certainly in the next 10 years as all these children, children who are being drugged

00:25:43.580 and castrated and mutilated as they, uh, get older and become adults and experience

00:25:48.880 unimaginable regret. And I almost hesitate. I don't even like the word regret here because regret is

00:25:58.320 when you, uh, are, are feeling sorry about something that you did, right? That's, that's what regret is

00:26:05.780 when you're feeling some kind of guilt or second guessing something that you have done,

00:26:10.420 a choice that you have made. But with these children who are being drugged and castrated

00:26:15.540 and everything else, this is not a choice that they're making because they can't make these

00:26:18.300 kinds of choices. This is something that's being done to them. So call it whatever you want it,

00:26:23.240 but as they get in the next 10 years, as, as this current, um, crop of children and crop is certainly

00:26:30.500 how they're seen by the, uh, pharmaceutical industry and by all these doctors that are taking

00:26:35.760 advantage of them and profiting off of, uh, off of abusing them as they get older, become adults.

00:26:43.640 We're going to see massive class action lawsuits

00:26:45.820 as, as well we should. But the really tragic thing is that on top of class action lawsuits,

00:26:52.840 we're going to see, uh, a wave of mass suicide, unlike anything that the world has ever seen.

00:27:01.100 And we're already seeing suicide rates that are far above historical average, historical norms,

00:27:08.840 especially for younger people. But I'm telling you right now in the next 10 to 15 years, what we're

00:27:14.380 going to see is just, it's unthinkable because you're going to have millions of what were once

00:27:21.160 kids coming into adulthood and looking and realizing that their lives have been destroyed.

00:27:27.480 Their bodies have been destroyed. They've had things taken from them. They can never,

00:27:30.840 ever get back. And it's just, it's impossible to even conceptualize the anguish and pain that

00:27:42.060 someone must feel in that situation. And what happens from there is going to be utterly tragic

00:27:47.620 and brutal, which is why we should be doing everything we can right now, pulling every lever that

00:27:53.920 we can, um, calling on every Republican with any power at all, to be doing, to be doing everything

00:28:01.400 they can to put a stop to this and to punish to the full extent possible under the law, everyone

00:28:07.440 responsible for it. That to me, it should be, you want to talk about 2024 of any election, really

00:28:16.200 primaries, uh, any election. It should be one of our first questions for any Republican. It's like,

00:28:25.200 first of all, how do you feel about children getting gender reassignment care, quote unquote.

00:28:34.220 And if they say anything other to that, other than it's horrifying and evil and terrible, anything

00:28:41.340 less than that, we can't even consider them. But then the next question is, what do you, what do you,

00:28:46.920 what do you want to do about it? The doctors who are responsible for this, if it was in your power to

00:28:52.460 do it, would you put them in prison? Are you in favor of passing laws that allows us to take these

00:28:58.520 doctors and put them in prison? Any answer from a Republican other than, hell yes, let's imprison

00:29:06.340 these bastards, uh, then that person can't be considered for any elected position at all. 0.99

00:29:13.280 Speaking of, uh, puberty blockers, the Daily Wire, I've had this on the docket here for a few days, 0.99

00:29:18.020 Daily Wire had this report, I think this was last week, um, says puberty blockers known as, uh,

00:29:23.900 gonadropin-releasing hormones, uh, receive it, received a warning from the U.S. Food and Drug

00:29:29.220 Administration officials earlier this month, saying the drug could cause brain swelling,

00:29:33.160 loss of vision, and serious risks for children injecting the hormone. Officials said a plausible

00:29:38.300 association between using puberty blocker, um, and, uh, puberty blockers and other symptoms which

00:29:45.740 display, there's, there's one disease in particular that I can't, it's pseudotumor cerebri, I think,

00:29:50.960 which displays symptoms similar to a brain tumor. This was either, so they said there's an association

00:29:55.600 potentially between that and the puberty blockers, and this has been identified in six young girls

00:30:00.920 between the ages of five and 12. FDA officials reported five were undergoing treatment for

00:30:05.780 central precocious puberty and one for transgender care. The onset of this disease ranged from three to

00:30:14.140 240 days after, uh, the initiation of the puberty blockers. This is the other thing that we're going

00:30:21.240 to see in the coming years is, um, the FDA and other public health agencies are going to come out

00:30:29.940 with reports saying, oh, well, you know, it turns out that, uh, maybe these drugs do have some side

00:30:34.820 effects. And because we, we can't even, you, we can't begin to list all of the potential side effects

00:30:44.560 from drugs like this because we've never had, you know, an entire generation put on these drugs.

00:30:52.120 We haven't had the sample size. Now we do. And we're going to find out as the years go on.

00:30:57.260 All right. It's from business insider says president Joe Biden on Wednesday signed his second executive

00:31:02.600 order aimed at protecting abortion access. Since the Supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade in late

00:31:06.920 June, Biden's executive order instructs the human, uh, and health services department to support

00:31:12.020 patients who will travel out of state to get an abortion where it's still legal. This is according

00:31:16.240 to a white house fact sheet. Biden explains this executive order. Let's listen to him explain.

00:31:22.440 No, today I'm signing a second executive order. I'm about to sign that response to the healthcare

00:31:28.240 crisis that has unfolded since the Supreme court overturned Roe and that women are facing all

00:31:34.680 across America. Healthcare crisis is, you know, it's just, it's hard for me to even understand how

00:31:43.220 they think this. Healthcare crisis is women can't get, can't choose, can't get an abortion even in the 0.99

00:31:50.000 case of incest, even in the case of rape. But it goes beyond that. There are a lot of women who take 1.00

00:31:57.340 prescriptions prescribed by their doctors and were taking for some time for other conditions

00:32:01.600 for arthritis, for epilepsy, for Crohn's disease. And in many cases, these prescriptions are not being

00:32:08.820 filled. Uh, well, that's just a, that of course is a total lie. There's nothing about the overturn of

00:32:15.360 Roe v. Wade that would prevent women from taking medication for arthritis. But this is the advantage, 1.00

00:32:24.400 of course, being a Democrat, you can just, you can utterly, totally invent things out of thin air

00:32:28.920 and you're not going to be fact-checked on that, especially when it's something, if it's, if it's

00:32:33.100 in the realm of abortion, then they're, they're not going to fact-check it. You can, as far as they're

00:32:37.360 concerned, ends justify the means and just say whatever you need to say to bring about the end

00:32:43.000 that you want. And the end that you want, of course, is the murder of more babies, which is healthcare.

00:32:46.580 Healthcare. But like we talked about with euthanasia yesterday, that, that can never be

00:32:52.440 healthcare. This can never be medicine. If you have a doctor who is intentionally destroying human

00:32:59.420 life, then that is always and forever going to be the opposite of medicine.

00:33:06.860 You can call it whatever else you want, but you cannot call it medicine. You can't call it healthcare.

00:33:10.860 And what you should be calling it obviously is murder. Here's a, a, a video that's kind of been

00:33:18.660 making the rounds online for the last couple of days. And it's actually from, I think one or two

00:33:22.840 years ago, but still somewhat instructive. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez appeared on one of these drag queen 1.00

00:33:31.920 shows. Maybe this is RuPaul's show. I don't know. She appeared with some drag queens to give them a 1.00

00:33:37.240 little pep talk and let's listen to her. People who change what people think are artists and drag 1.00

00:33:46.360 queens. And let's not forget who threw that first break at Stonewall. You know, that is what led to 1.00

00:33:54.620 us passing the Equality Act in the house in this term, marriage equality. It starts with you. I mean,

00:34:02.620 you're patriots. You are. You are. You are. You are patriots. And I'm so proud of you all. I'm so proud

00:34:12.740 to live in this country with you and with your mother and with all of us as family.

00:34:19.740 Thank you.

00:34:20.240 Oh, girl.

00:34:20.700 We love you.

00:34:22.360 There we go. There was her patriotic speech, her war cry. That was her general patent moment to the drag queens. 1.00

00:34:29.920 The fact that she calls them patriots is significant. And we heard something similar

00:34:35.180 from Nancy Pelosi, who also appeared on one of these drag shows, and said almost exactly the same

00:34:39.900 kind of thing about how this is, you know, she makes the drag queens, men dressed like women, 1.00

00:34:45.380 make her proud to be an American. And this is the most American thing. And it's patriotic.

00:34:51.180 Why is it? Why is it patriotic? I mean, how could it be patriotic for men to dress up like 1.00

00:34:56.320 women? Well, they're not dressing like women, because that's, I think we have to be careful 1.00

00:35:01.960 when we say that, because I've never ever seen in my life a woman who dresses anything like a drag 0.98

00:35:07.200 queen. Now, they're dressing like a cartoon, a mockery of a woman. How could it be patriotic? 1.00

00:35:12.820 Well, the answer is, relating back to something we talked about a few days ago,

00:35:18.100 that, remember, on the left, the only right that they care about, the only right that they

00:35:26.680 recognize, the only right that exists in their minds is the right to sexual satisfaction,

00:35:34.340 sexual gratification. You know, that is, so you are a champion. If you're a champion of sexual

00:35:42.200 satisfaction, then you are a champion of human rights, which makes you, being a country as

00:35:48.920 America is, founded on the notion of human rights, then you're a patriot. Which, of course, is true.

00:35:55.360 If you actually are a champion of actual human rights, then you're a patriot, yes. The problem

00:36:01.140 is that this human right doesn't really exist. It is another invention of the left.

00:36:06.280 Right. But that's the way they see it. It's the only right, it's actually the only right that

00:36:12.320 anybody has, is just to satisfy yourself sexually. And it's why they believe that, you know, they

00:36:20.660 could take away every other right, which they don't even recognize as existing, but they get the

00:36:25.060 right to, the right to free speech, the right to self-defense, certainly the right to freedom of

00:36:31.820 religion. Everything else, the due process, they take all that away. Because as long as they leave 0.99

00:36:38.960 for you the ability to satisfy your sexual whims, then that's all you should want, because that's

00:36:44.780 all it means to be a person as far as they're concerned. That's why drag queens are patriots, 1.00

00:36:51.040 because for the drag queen, the cross-dresser, traipsing around in women's clothes, this is their 0.96

00:36:58.180 fetish. They're acting out their fetishes in public, which is a deeply patriotic thing to do

00:37:04.160 in AOC's warped vision of the world. But the drag movement has, we know that it's made its way 1.00

00:37:11.360 certainly outside of Hollywood, and it's made its way into libraries and schools, and now it's made

00:37:16.700 its way even into churches. So here's another, some more viral footage making the rounds. A drag queen

00:37:23.460 recently appeared at, well, this is a church, so we'll play this for you. This is an event called

00:37:30.180 Worship is a Drag, and the drag queen here who comes out claimed that this was at a Catholic church,

00:37:37.600 but if you've ever been in a Catholic church and you see this footage, you can tell this is not a

00:37:41.680 Catholic church. It is a church, though, supposedly. And anyway, let's watch the footage first.

00:37:46.440 Her name is Britta Filter, and she is the queen of New York! 1.00

00:37:52.980 Yes!

00:37:54.980 Yes!

00:37:58.980 Stand up! Stand up!

00:38:00.980 Stand up!

00:38:22.980 Stand up!

00:38:28.980 Okay, so there's the drag queen marching down the aisle of the church to the sounds of these screaming throngs applauding.

00:38:36.980 The drag queen's name is Britta Filter. 1.00

00:38:40.980 Okay, but you see that, and there are a few things about it that are a little bit confusing, right?

00:38:46.980 And the first thing, well, many things when you see a drag queen at a church. 0.83

00:38:49.980 Unfortunately, that actually is not the most confusing.

00:38:52.980 Sadly, these days, seeing the drag queen at a church is actually not confusing at all.

00:38:56.980 That's quite expected. I'm not even surprised now to see that.

00:38:59.980 The thing that did surprise me when I saw this footage was not the drag queen, 0.99

00:39:04.980 but it was the number of people in attendance and how young they are.

00:39:11.980 The fact that it's a whole bunch of young people.

00:39:14.980 Because what I know is that, generally, these far left churches that are trying to attract the young by, you know,

00:39:24.980 bringing drag queens in and, hey, let's have a transgender lesbian bishop and all that kind of stuff. 1.00

00:39:30.980 Preaching from the pulpit constantly about tolerance and acceptance and really preaching about this right to sexual satisfaction, 0.93

00:39:37.980 which is the only human right that they recognize either.

00:39:40.980 Those kinds of churches, though they are doing all this ostensibly to attract young people, they fail to do so.

00:39:48.980 But if you see footage usually like this and you look out and you see who's in the pews, it's geriatric. 0.96

00:39:53.980 It's like you're looking at something from the local nursing home.

00:39:58.980 There's a smattering of older middle-aged to elderly people in the pews and it's just because this is a dying old church.

00:40:08.980 And this method of trying to energize the young actually doesn't work.

00:40:14.980 It's not hard to see why it wouldn't work.

00:40:16.980 Because for young people, first of all, young people are inherently attracted to authenticity.

00:40:25.980 And they can tell when someone's being inauthentic.

00:40:30.980 Like if you're being a poser and you're putting on a show, they can kind of sniff that out.

00:40:36.980 So the stereotypical like youth pastor who's 45, got the backwards hat, trying to use young lingo, but he's always about 10 years behind the times.

00:40:47.980 Usually once he gets a bunch of rolling eyes from the kids that he's talking to.

00:40:53.980 And also kids know that, okay, well, if I want drag queens and if I want transgenderism and if I want all this preaching about tolerance and diversity, I can go anywhere else in the culture for that.

00:41:07.980 And I can get a much more authentic version of it.

00:41:10.980 I don't need to go to a church for that.

00:41:12.980 Why would I go and waste my time, they figure, sitting in a church to hear about drag queens and trans and everything else? 0.64

00:41:19.980 I can turn on the TV.

00:41:20.980 I can go anywhere.

00:41:21.980 I can go anywhere and get that.

00:41:24.980 The churches have made themselves irrelevant by offering something that isn't needed in our culture because it's already supplied everywhere else.

00:41:35.980 Yet you watch that and it almost threw me for a loop.

00:41:39.980 I said, well, there are a lot of young people there.

00:41:42.980 Well, here's why there were so many young people there.

00:41:44.980 This is from the Postmillennial.

00:41:45.980 It says, students at Manhattan's Grace Church High School are required to attend chapel every other Wednesday on April 27th.

00:41:52.980 That meant attending a pride event.

00:41:54.980 The sixth annual pride chapel featured a special guest, drag queen Britta Filter, a.k.a. Jessie Avea.

00:42:01.980 Students felt pressure to join in to dance and celebrate while teacher Ewan Gwynn took the opportunity to announce their resignation over improper pronoun usage.

00:42:12.980 There was tons of social pressure to dance along and pretend like it was normal, according to a student who asked not to be named, but said this to the postmillennial.

00:42:21.980 Whether it be people tapping on shoulders and telling them to stand up or just a collective staring contest at whoever wasn't totally participating.

00:42:29.980 The event was led by the school, also the reverend and the students and faculty advisors for Spectrum, which is the school's LGBTQIA plus affinity group.

00:42:38.980 The politically themed chapel, which was mandatory for all students in grades 9 through 12, apparently ran long.

00:42:44.980 According to multiple students, immediately upon entering, there was a person handing out stickers with pride flags on them, unironically saying, take one or you're homophobic.

00:42:55.980 And then eventually this teacher got up there and resigned because the pronouns weren't being respected.

00:43:01.980 That's how the story ends.

00:43:02.980 Okay, so that explains.

00:43:04.980 My assumption is not wrong.

00:43:06.980 My assumption that the uber-liberal far-left churches trying to attract young people only exceed attracting people in the 50-plus age bracket, that still stands.

00:43:18.980 Those kids were there because they were required to be there.

00:43:22.980 Mandatory attendance to watch the drag queen, the obese man in a dress, calling himself Brita Filter, dance down the aisles. 0.99

00:43:31.980 And not only that, but required to stand, applaud.

00:43:36.980 I mean, very much like what you see footage out of North Korea.

00:43:43.980 When Kim Jong-un is parading before the cheering throngs and everybody is, they're standing up and they're screaming and they're crying tears of joy.

00:43:55.980 They love Dear Leader so much, but what you don't see is just off camera, the guys with the guns pointed right out the screaming throngs saying, you better keep clapping or we're going to pull the trigger.

00:44:05.980 Very similar situation here.

00:44:07.980 All right, finally, before we go to the comment section, the White House tweeted this yesterday.

00:44:13.980 And it's not so much the caption, but the picture that is significant here.

00:44:18.980 But this is President Biden tweeted, this morning I held a secure phone call with my national security team.

00:44:23.980 We discussed a wide range of priorities, including the United States support of free and open Indo-Pacific and our continued support for Ukraine in response to Putin's war.

00:44:33.980 Who cares about that?

00:44:34.980 What I do care about is the picture and it's Joe Biden on the phone with a mask.

00:44:40.980 He's wearing a mask while talking on the phone.

00:44:43.980 I guess this is responsible.

00:44:45.980 He wants to make sure that he doesn't transmit COVID over the phone.

00:44:50.980 Now, and he also wants to make sure he doesn't contract it again.

00:44:53.980 Now, he is very susceptible to COVID, right?

00:44:56.980 He's had COVID 47 times.

00:44:59.980 So maybe this extra precaution can be somewhat understandable.

00:45:02.980 But, and I see that and I'm tempted to make fun of it.

00:45:07.980 But then I realized, you know what, I'm actually fine with this.

00:45:10.980 Yeah, let's, I'll go with that.

00:45:12.980 You can get COVID over the phone.

00:45:14.980 I'll believe it.

00:45:15.980 I'm willing to believe that.

00:45:17.980 In fact, I want to believe that.

00:45:18.980 Because that gives me an excuse to never answer the phone again and never return any phone call.

00:45:24.980 It's just too much risk.

00:45:26.980 Of course, I never return phone calls anyway, but now I have an excuse because I don't want to get COVID.

00:45:32.980 Now, let's get to our comment section.

00:45:35.980 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beard.

00:45:39.980 Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.

00:45:47.980 H. Mill says, we did everything backwards.

00:45:49.980 We got married young, 19 and 22.

00:45:51.980 And my husband worked on his degree over the years, debt free at his job.

00:45:55.980 Either paid for it or he saved enough.

00:45:57.980 He graduated with his master's degree after our fifth child in his 30s.

00:46:00.980 We now have zero debt, live off his income alone.

00:46:02.980 And he's in a job he loves.

00:46:03.980 And we have six children that we homeschool.

00:46:06.980 I'm glad we did things this way instead of the way we had been told.

00:46:09.980 I think I was right.

00:46:10.980 That's not backwards at all, actually.

00:46:13.980 The way that you did it is maybe backwards by modern standards.

00:46:18.980 But the modern standard is what's backwards.

00:46:20.980 It's exactly backwards.

00:46:22.980 Live your young adult life.

00:46:25.980 Establish yourself.

00:46:27.980 Do all that.

00:46:28.980 And then at the end of young adulthood, start a family.

00:46:32.980 Now, that's backwards.

00:46:34.980 Ideally, it doesn't work this way for everyone.

00:46:36.980 Not everyone's the same.

00:46:37.980 But ideally, the path for most people and what we should be encouraging as a society is that people begin the family life at the beginning of young adulthood, not at the end of it.

00:46:47.980 Alice says, Matt, I love following your wife on Twitter.

00:46:51.980 She seems so innocent and joyful.

00:46:53.980 The opposite of you.

00:46:55.980 She is.

00:46:56.980 That's true.

00:46:57.980 One of the many things I love about her.

00:46:58.980 She is joyful.

00:46:59.980 She is also innocent.

00:47:00.980 You want to know how innocent? 0.98

00:47:02.980 So here's another true story.

00:47:04.980 This is almost as mind boggling as the giant stuffed walrus that I have not been given, though that is rightfully mine.

00:47:10.980 I was talking to my wife yesterday, and I mentioned something about Reddit.

00:47:16.980 Actually, it's because our pregnancy announcement ended up on the antinatalist Reddit forum.

00:47:23.980 The antinatalists, of course, are the people who are against babies.

00:47:27.980 This is even a level beyond pro-abortion.

00:47:30.980 They're against birth.

00:47:31.980 They don't think that anyone should be born ever again because human life is a misery and a drudgery, and we should all just perish from the face of the earth.

00:47:37.980 Anyway, the pregnancy announcement ended up on the Reddit forum, and there's just a whole bunch of people very, very upset that my wife and I are having more kids.

00:47:45.980 I thought it was pretty funny.

00:47:46.980 I mentioned it to my wife, and her answer was, what's Reddit?

00:47:52.980 And I looked at her in shock, and I said, you don't know what Reddit is?

00:47:57.980 How old are you?

00:47:58.980 You've never heard of Reddit.

00:48:00.980 And so I had to explain Reddit to her, and this is what she said, I quote.

00:48:03.980 This is exactly what she said.

00:48:04.980 She said, oh, so it's like an AOL chat room?

00:48:09.980 And I said, that's your frame of reference, an AOL chat room?

00:48:14.980 Is this 1997?

00:48:16.980 This is exactly like if I mentioned Google, and she said, what's Google?

00:48:20.980 And I explained it, and she said, oh, so it's like the Dewey Decimal System.

00:48:25.980 But this is good.

00:48:27.980 It's very, you know, I think it centers me in a certain way to be married to someone who is not only exactly opposite of me personality-wise and being bubbly and chipper and everything, but is so not online that she has never even heard of Reddit somehow.

00:48:43.980 I don't know how you do it.

00:48:44.980 I mean, how do you spend, how do you live in the internet age as someone in your 30s that just, you've gone your whole life and never encountered any mention of Reddit?

00:48:54.980 But it's great.

00:48:55.980 Brittany says, Matt, I'm a mom of four and proud minivan owner.

00:48:59.980 I lost my coolness points three kids ago.

00:49:01.980 I only care for comfort these days.

00:49:04.980 The extra 30 seconds it takes for the sound of screaming children to travel from the back of the van to the front was worth the purchase alone.

00:49:11.980 It's the most luxurious way to travel.

00:49:13.980 Give her time and she'll grow to love it.

00:49:15.980 Well, that's my view, you know.

00:49:17.980 You have to give up coolness, give up style when you become a parent.

00:49:20.980 Of course, it was easy for me to do because, and I have to always keep this in mind, because I never had style or coolness, so I didn't actually have to give it up.

00:49:30.980 It was a very easy transition.

00:49:32.980 As you know, I was born in a flannel with a beard, so I have been essentially a very uncool dad my whole life.

00:49:41.980 And so for someone who had some style and coolness, it's a more difficult transition, and that's, you know, so that's in my wife's defense a little bit.

00:49:47.980 And the other thing is that she has clung successfully in parenthood to many different things that naysayers, including myself, told her she'd have to give up.

00:49:59.980 For example, white couches.

00:50:01.980 She still buys white furniture, okay?

00:50:04.980 We have expensive white couches in our family room, and somehow they're not totally destroyed, even with four kids.

00:50:12.980 So, give her credit for that.

00:50:15.980 Let's see.

00:50:19.980 Evan says, Matt, on the subject of dying with dignity, I'm curious to hear your take on something.

00:50:23.980 My dad's brother died of dementia, unable to even recognize his own children.

00:50:27.980 My dad is a strong man, and he has taken his age in inevitable decline with grace, but he refuses to go out the way his brother did.

00:50:33.980 He has signed a living will asking to have the plug pulled if he's ever lying in bed as an invalid who can't recognize his own family. 0.99

00:50:40.980 I'm hoping it never comes to that, but if it does, I've told him I respect his wishes and pull the plug.

00:50:44.980 Do you think that I'm out of line telling him that?

00:50:46.980 It's an honest question.

00:50:47.980 I really do appreciate your point of view on these matters.

00:50:49.980 Well, there's a difference between suicide, right, and removing life support or, you know, pulling the plug, so-called.

00:50:56.980 And as for the latter, I think the ethics of it really depend on the circumstances.

00:51:01.980 So if somebody is old and dying and entirely dependent on machines to survive, then no, I don't think that they have a moral responsibility to stay on the machines and prolong their lives for as long as humanly possible.

00:51:17.980 But when you get to the point, the only thing that's keeping you alive are all these machines, and you've lived a long life, and you say, you know, this is my time, and I'm willing to go when God decides, and I'm going to leave it up to that, and I'm not going to use the machines.

00:51:35.980 I think that's a perfectly ethically defensible choice.

00:51:39.980 I mean, at a certain point, you have to accept the inevitable.

00:51:42.980 And at a certain point, even perhaps the responsibility goes the other way.

00:51:47.980 Like, you don't have the responsibility to prolong your life for as long as you possibly can, and there might become a time where ethically your responsibility falls on accepting the inevitable.

00:51:58.980 But it's a difficult question, and like I said, the circumstances really, really determine it.

00:52:06.980 Okay.

00:52:07.980 And finally, Megan says, are you going to do anything special for your 1,000th episode on Friday?

00:52:12.980 It's a big milestone for the show and the SPG.

00:52:14.980 Congratulations in advance.

00:52:16.980 Actually, since you mention it, our 1,000th episode will be Monday.

00:52:20.980 It will not be tomorrow.

00:52:21.980 Tomorrow, we'll have some special content for you that we're putting together that I'm excited about.

00:52:25.980 So we're going to have that, but it won't be an official episode.

00:52:29.980 We are saving the 1,000th episode for Monday because we want it to coincide with something else that we're working on that's almost finished but not yet.

00:52:38.980 And that's the most I can say about it.

00:52:41.980 Is it ironic to make an ad for an ad-free viewing experience?

00:52:46.980 Maybe.

00:52:47.980 That's not really irony.

00:52:48.980 It's like the Alanis Morissette definition of irony.

00:52:50.980 But anyway, that's exactly the type of experience you're going to get.

00:52:53.980 That is the ad-free experience when you subscribe to Daily Wire Plus.

00:53:15.980 That's dailywireplus.com.

00:53:17.980 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:53:24.980 Today we return to the subject of racism and parade mascots.

00:53:28.980 It is not a subject that I would choose to dwell on but this is a show that analyzes and discusses culture and this is what our culture cares about.

00:53:38.980 So to briefly review, a few weeks ago, somebody in a Sesame Street costume at a parade in Sesame Place in Philadelphia made the mistake of walking past a black child without stopping to greet her specifically.

00:53:49.980 Of course, mascots walk by many children all the time without greeting them for reasons that are obvious.

00:53:54.980 One innocuous event was caught on film, conveniently clipped to remove all context, and nationwide outrage ensued. Charges of racism were made, apologies were issued.

00:54:02.980 Soon afterwards, another family filed a class action lawsuit on behalf of all black families that had been victims of similar mascot-related hate crimes.

00:54:10.980 But the completely made-up problem of racist mascots extends beyond Sesame Street.

00:54:16.980 Apparently, the costumed rodents at Chuck E. Cheese are also racist.

00:54:21.980 No telling if the actual rodents that also frequent Chuck E. Cheese are racist as well, but we can only take one problem at a time.

00:54:27.980 This week, another video went viral of a black child being horribly traumatized by the minor disappointment of not receiving a high-five from a costumed character.

00:54:36.980 The mother of the victim tweeted the shocking footage. Let's watch it.

00:54:41.980 Horrific.

00:54:58.980 Now, she captioned this with this.

00:55:02.980 Please retweet, on July 30th at Chuck E. Cheese in Wayne, New Jersey, my two-year-old was racially discriminated against.

00:55:08.980 As you can see, he gives all the white kids high fives and purposely ignored my black baby.

00:55:14.980 When confronted, he ignored me as well.

00:55:16.980 The manager, Angie Velasquez, made excuses for him.

00:55:20.980 Ah, yes, that notorious white supremacist, Angie Velasquez of New Jersey. 1.00

00:55:25.980 That's a Klan name, if ever I've heard one. 0.70

00:55:27.980 Now, she says that the manager made excuses.

00:55:30.980 I can't imagine what those excuses might be other than the fact that all the kids who received high fives were standing on a stage eye level with the mascot.

00:55:38.980 The child who was snubbed was standing three feet below them.

00:55:41.980 Given that your line of sight is almost non-existent in those sweltering death trap costumes,

00:55:46.980 the most logical explanation is that the kids on the stage were within his limited vision and the child below the stage was not.

00:55:53.980 So that's a logical explanation, but it's not a lucrative explanation.

00:55:57.980 If you're looking to cash in, as this mother clearly is, then the only explanation you'll possibly entertain is that the person in the mouse costume,

00:56:04.980 who you don't know and who may be black themselves for all you know, is racist. 0.65

00:56:09.980 Not only that, but for whatever reason, the costumed character gig attracts racists. 0.98

00:56:13.980 There is a conspiracy among mascots nationwide to traumatize black children.

00:56:18.980 This is what you allege when your demand for racism far, far outstrips the supply.

00:56:25.980 Now, for the record, Chuck E. Cheese was, of course, prepared to fold at a moment's notice.

00:56:29.980 They didn't put up any fight at all. I mean, none.

00:56:32.980 Chuck E. Cheese corporate released a statement expressing that they were deeply saddened by this event.

00:56:37.980 Quote, as home to millions of families and kids every year that celebrates the big and small milestones, including fun,

00:56:44.980 our goal is to create an inclusive experience for children and parents of all ages, races, ethnicities, religious backgrounds, and learning differences.

00:56:51.980 Our mission is to provide a fun and safe place where a kid can be a kid,

00:56:55.980 and all cast members are trained to ensure that we live up to this promise.

00:56:59.980 Now, you notice how, on the left, where they pretend to champion the poor and the working class,

00:57:06.980 they have no problem at all with giant corporations making scapegoats out of their minimum wage employees,

00:57:12.980 throwing them to the wolves, and branding them with the letter R for racist.

00:57:18.980 You know, they have no problem with that because, of course, these people don't give the slightest damn about the working class, 0.88

00:57:23.980 or the poor, or anybody else.

00:57:26.980 In fact, the more powerless somebody is, the better.

00:57:29.980 Because the easier it is to get them to dance to your tune.

00:57:32.980 The leftist outrage mob thrives on manipulation and intimidation.

00:57:36.980 It is their fetish. 0.98

00:57:37.980 They feel orgasmic delight at the sight of some poor sap bowing before them. 0.73

00:57:42.980 This was made all the more apparent yesterday when another video went viral.

00:57:45.980 This one from a parade at Disney World.

00:57:48.980 But the mascot, these are Toy Story characters this time around,

00:57:51.980 they didn't make the same mistake.

00:57:53.980 So in this video, Woody spots a black girl in the crowd, 0.81

00:57:58.980 and frantically waves for the other Toy Story character to come over so that she can greet the child. 0.99

00:58:04.980 Let's watch that happen.

00:58:06.980 Let's watch that happen.

00:58:35.980 Okay. So actually, I don't know if that music was actually playing at the parade for kids. I

00:58:40.340 wouldn't be surprised if it was. I don't think it was. I think that was just put in, in post.

00:58:44.260 So you see there, the person in the cowgirl costume, I don't know what, what's the name

00:58:48.140 of that character? I don't know. What was it? Say it again. Jesse. Okay. Jesse and the cowgirl

00:58:55.020 there almost walked by the black child without noticing her, which would have been, as we've

00:59:01.560 seen, a national tragedy and a catastrophe of historic proportions. Fortunately, though,

00:59:07.280 through Woody's diligent efforts, she noticed at the last second and sprinted over to give the young 0.99

00:59:12.580 black girl the biggest and most specialist greeting out of all the other kids at the parade. Never 1.00

00:59:18.020 mind that she didn't hug the other black kids right next to that girl. I guess she's going to get a 0.99

00:59:23.240 pass in this case until the parents of those kids decide to sue for a hundred million dollars, of

00:59:27.380 course. Now the media has been reporting on that little video there, like it's a heartwarming sort

00:59:34.200 of human interest story, but it's actually quite sad and pathetic and terrifying. The minimum wage 0.95

00:59:40.600 lackey in the costume knows that they'll be smeared nationally as a racist, probably fired and maybe 0.97

00:59:47.340 sued if they don't specially acknowledge every black child, or at least every black child with a litigious 0.98

00:59:52.100 parent holding a camera. The hug was a hug given by someone who knows that they're going to be

00:59:57.860 arbitrarily attacked, libeled, and destroyed if they commit an entirely innocuous and innocent

01:00:03.180 oversight. This is somebody frantically trying to avoid a fate that shouldn't be anywhere within the

01:00:09.520 ballpark of possibilities in the first place. There should be zero risk that a kid in a costume at a

01:00:14.560 parade will end up in the headlines for accidentally walking past a black child in the crowd. There should be 1.00

01:00:20.460 no risk of that. This is now a real risk in our depraved, idiot-infested culture. Now the situation 1.00

01:00:27.380 is not sustainable. I mean, ultimately, and this will happen within the next few months, probably if

01:00:32.200 not weeks, companies like Disney and Sesame Street and Chuck E. Cheese will instate policies forbidding

01:00:37.200 mascots from greeting anybody at all. Allowing them to do greetings is now a liability because if any

01:00:43.260 video surfaces of any mascot failing to greet any black child, even if that same mascot greeted 50 black

01:00:49.860 children before, it becomes a PR scandal and probably a lawsuit. Companies will judge it simply not worth

01:00:55.400 the risk, and they're going to do away with what was once totally normal and seemingly risk-free.

01:01:00.940 The outrage mob destroys then yet another small little thing that once brought joy to children, 0.75

01:01:06.320 but now must be taken away because the parasites got a hold of it. And the most important thing we can

01:01:12.540 learn from this and take note of is, again, just how much joy these leeches take in all of this.

01:01:21.540 You know, the leftist mob, they were passing around that video for the Disney World video yesterday, 0.89

01:01:27.500 laughing hysterically about it. They think it's the greatest thing in the world. The very people who

01:01:32.740 pretended to be upset at Sesame Street and Chuck E. Cheese are laughing because they can see that their

01:01:38.560 charade has its desired effects. Because they love nothing in this world more than seeing people

01:01:44.800 jump through the hoops that they have set up. And that's all the more reason to never give these

01:01:51.220 frauds what they want. Defy them at every opportunity. Laugh in their faces. Never apologize.

01:01:59.440 Before they have a chance to say it to you, you must always say to them, you are canceled.

01:02:06.760 And we'll leave it there for today. That'll do it for this week. We have, again,

01:02:13.500 something special for you tomorrow. And then we'll be back with a regular show on Monday.

01:02:19.420 And it'll be our 1,000th episode. So I'll see you then. Godspeed.
