Ep. 1006 - Pronoun Lunatics Turn Students Into Sexual Harassment Criminals
Summary
Pro-choice protesters demonstrate in the streets of New York City against Roe v. Wade on Saturday, but only a few hundred showed up. What happened to the millions of pro-choice people who were supposed to turn out across the country on Saturday?

Things are looking really bad for the left. We already knew that things were bad for the left.
00:00:06.360
They are down in the midterm polls. They are down on pretty much every single issue in the country.
00:00:12.580
They're down on job performance. But this weekend took things to a whole new level.
00:00:19.060
There was supposed to be a major pro-abortion protest in New York City on Saturday. This was
00:00:25.960
going to be the 2022 version of the Women's March, all the more urgent because the Supreme Court
00:00:32.400
just leaked the decision to overrule Roe versus Wade. This march was going to be historic.
00:00:40.020
And here is what the local New York outlet, The Gothamist, had to say.
00:00:46.300
Hundreds upon hundreds of abortion rights supporters marched from Brooklyn to Manhattan
00:00:51.840
on Saturday in one of the several mass demonstrations around the country protesting the presumed impending
00:00:58.120
end to Roe versus Wade. Hundreds upon hundreds. The population of New York City is over 8 million.
00:01:06.480
More than three quarters of New Yorkers vote Democrat. Even lots of New York Republicans
00:01:11.320
support legal abortion. If abortion were as popular as the establishment propagandists claim,
00:01:17.180
there should have been a million people in the streets. Conservatively, there should have been
00:01:21.940
a million people in the streets. If this were the fight for women's essential rights,
00:01:26.200
as the libs are claiming, we should have expected to see, at the very least, a few hundred thousand
00:01:32.780
people out there. But we didn't see millions. We didn't see hundreds of thousands. We didn't see
00:01:38.140
tens of thousands. Apparently, we didn't even see thousands, which would still have been pretty
00:01:42.500
pathetic, by the way, if it were only thousands in a city of over 8 million. According to New York
00:01:46.760
Local News, it was hundreds of people who showed up to rally for killing babies. Democrats are looking
00:01:54.060
to the overrule of Roe v. Wade as the last best hope that they have to motivate voters for the
00:01:59.420
midterms in an otherwise catastrophic year. If this weekend's nationwide flop is any indication,
00:02:06.240
they're going to have to hope for something else. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the Michael Knowles Show.
00:02:16.760
Welcome back to the show. My favorite comment on Friday is from Christoph Rodriguez, who says,
00:02:22.340
I wonder if Joe will help Hunter get some baby formula for the grandchild he refuses to acknowledge.
00:02:27.780
That is a really harsh, tough, accurate thing to say. This should be a national scandal. And it is
00:02:35.920
probably the single most surprising, shocking aspect of the Biden administration to me is that Joe's
00:02:43.320
whole image is he's just nice old Joe. He's just good old grandpa Joe, just nice old guy.
00:02:48.000
The man has a grandchild, a granddaughter whom he will not acknowledge. Could you imagine being that
00:02:53.060
little granddaughter? You know that your grandpa is the president of the United States. He's old
00:02:57.100
nice guy Joe. And he refuses to acknowledge you in any way. That is an actual scandal. But of course,
00:03:03.260
you won't hear about it in the news because the left, especially right now, the left is waging a war
00:03:09.160
on babies in terms of feeding the babies, in terms of letting the babies live. That's why you got to
00:03:13.960
check out 40 Days for Life. With the court's potential overruling of Roe v. Wade, you might
00:03:19.300
think the abortion fight is coming to an end. Not even close. Abortion legislation returning to the
00:03:25.020
states means the only real battle is just beginning. And that is why it's so important to check out 40 Days
00:03:32.780
for Life, okay? There is no group in America better positioned than 40 Days for Life to help fight this
00:03:38.840
battle. 40 Days for Life has 1 million volunteers throughout the country, including peaceful
00:03:42.720
vigils outside abortion facilities. You may be surprised to hear their largest presence is
00:03:46.820
actually in the country's blue states, with California being the biggest state. Their vigils
00:03:51.920
have closed many abortion facilities in America. Nearly half of those facilities were in liberal
00:03:56.300
states where abortion will continue to remain legal after the fall of Roe. From San Francisco to
00:04:01.200
Chicago to Seattle, not exactly pro-life areas, volunteers have guided abortion workers to have a change of
00:04:07.040
heart and to quit their jobs. As this issue gets out of D.C., finally, 40 Days for Life is effectively
00:04:12.860
changing hearts and minds in the grassroots of the post-abortion movement. Check out their
00:04:18.120

00:04:50.820
of my life, Democrats have won the messaging war because they control all of the media and Hollywood
00:04:56.760
and the news and all of it and publishing. And so generally, they've won the messaging war. They
00:05:01.940
are totally losing it now. Here is the best line that the Democrats have come up with in the last
00:05:10.220
two years, at least, to attack the Republicans, to aim all of the public vitriol at the conservatives.
00:05:17.860
In a sense, I never expected, let me say this carefully, I never expected the ultra-mega Republicans
00:05:32.640
who seem to control the Republican Party now to have been able to control the Republican Party.
00:05:40.160
I never anticipated that happening. The ultra-mega Republicans. A lot of people thought
00:05:47.460
this was just a line that Joe Biden came up with on the spot. And it's not a great line. And it
00:05:52.300
actually makes us seem kind of cool. That image is cool, right? Ultra-mega. What does
00:05:57.260
MAGA means? Make America great again. I'm ultra. I'm ultra. I'm super-mega. I am, yes,
00:06:02.220
I'm here to defend truth, justice, and the American way. It seems like kind of a cool thing. But
00:06:05.860
whatever, Joe Biden, he's definitely lost a few steps. He just used this line. It's probably
00:06:11.300
going to backfire, but he came up with it on the spot, right? No, actually, it turns out
00:06:17.280
according to the Washington Post, that line was workshopped. That line was researched.
00:06:25.640
A progressive group spent six months researching the killer new line to use against the Republicans.
00:06:35.200
They took a lot of money to do this. And the best thing that they could come up with
00:06:39.340
was ultra-mega. This is like out of a Saturday Night Live sketch. If Saturday Night Live were funny,
00:06:46.700
and even slightly right wing, this would be an SNL sketch where you say, you got all the genius
00:06:51.540
consultants in the room. They say, all right, Mr. President, we're in the war room. We've got to
00:06:55.080
come up with the soaring rhetoric, this high oratory, this killer political messaging to go
00:07:00.940
after your opponents. Okay, what have you got, boys? Well, we've spent zillions of your dollars and
00:07:06.400
focus groups and ultra-mega. Wow, good job, geniuses. I'm glad all those Ivy League degrees are
00:07:14.500
paying off. This is good. Please, use it. We're ultra-mega. I'm Michael Knowles. This is the
00:07:21.340
ultra-mega show. See how that turns out in November, folks. I don't think it's going to
00:07:26.440
turn out very well. The Libs, who had been so precise with language, and they still remain
00:07:32.840
precise with language, but they had been so effective at manipulating language for a century.
00:07:37.840
I wrote a whole book on this. My number one national bestseller, Speechless Controlling
00:07:41.600
Minds, thanks to all of you, rose up the charts. The book is about how the left very effectively
00:07:47.000
has wielded language to take over the whole culture. I think they've lost their gift, or
00:07:52.440
they're at least in a rut right now. The pro-choice caucus of the Democrats, there used to be a little
00:08:01.640
more of a distinction between left and right, Republican, Democrat, pro-choice, pro-life. That's
00:08:08.840
kind of gone away now. Left, Democrat, pro-abortion, it's all the same thing. So the pro-choice caucus
00:08:13.320
has sent out important abortion messaging do's and don'ts, reportedly. So what they're saying is
00:08:19.580
there is harmful language, and we've got to change it to make it more palatable to the public.
00:08:24.720
The harmful language is choice. Previously, you'll remember the word for abortion was abortion,
00:08:30.800
or infanticide, or killing. Then they said, no, no, we've got to call it choice. That's going to
00:08:34.760
make it softer and better. But now choice has been poisoned. So now they're saying instead of
00:08:39.760
choice, you have to say decision. It's a woman's decision. That's what they're saying the helpful
00:08:44.340
language is. The harmful language is that we need to reduce abortion and make it safe, legal, and
00:08:48.500
rare. That was the line that the Clintons came up with. The helpful language is safe, legal, and
00:08:53.180
accessible. And accessible. Forget about rare. It's the opposite of rare, actually. We need to make it
00:08:58.140
easily accessed. Unwanted pregnancy, that's harmful. It makes it seem like we don't want babies.
00:09:03.320
Unexpected pregnancy is better, and then we don't want the unexpected pregnancy and we kill the baby.
00:09:08.600
Harmful language, conscience clause or protections to get out of some of the radical abortion
00:09:14.120
legislation. The helpful language, they say refusal of care slash denial of care laws,
00:09:19.400
because killing a baby is care, according to the pro-abortion left. Then finally, harmful language
00:09:24.860
is back alley abortions and coat hangers. I think this is probably harmful in that it paints a very
00:09:31.220
ugly picture, but also it just didn't happen. It's not real. It's describing an allegedly widespread
00:09:36.140
problem that did not exist. The helpful language, they say, is criminalizing health care.
00:09:42.520
You're criminalizing health care by not letting people kill their kids.
00:09:46.080
Why do they have to do this? The reason they have to do this was explained by the Harvard
00:09:50.140
psychologist, Steven Pinker, in the phrase euphemism treadmill. I also talk about this in my book,
00:09:56.540
Speechless, which is coming out in paperback next month, by the way. So it should be fun.
00:09:59.640
That'll give us another chance to jump up to the top of the charts and have the New York Times
00:10:03.060
ignore us on their bestseller list. The euphemism treadmill refers to a problem that the left has
00:10:09.520
in particular, which is the left will use a euphemism to deceive people about their harmful
00:10:16.840
policies. So instead of saying killing babies, they'll say choice or women's health care.
00:10:22.340
But eventually, that term, the new term, takes on the same negative color, the same negative
00:10:31.920
characteristics and sense of the old term because the reality of the situation has not changed.
00:10:40.900
And so you end up in a situation where you just need to come up with a new euphemism.
00:10:46.140
You'll notice this with certain disabilities. Let's say someone is disabled. A lot of people
00:10:55.120
are disabled. There's nothing shameful in being disabled, but it's not a preferable condition.
00:10:59.620
No one wants to be disabled. And so you have a word like cripple. Cripple then takes on a negative
00:11:04.700
connotation because it's a condition that is undesirable. No one wants to have that condition.
00:11:09.100
And so then it becomes handicapped. But then handicapped takes that on. And then it becomes
00:11:13.000
handicapable. And then handicapable takes that on. And then it becomes differently abled. And they
00:11:17.580
have to change the euphemism every six months, it seems, because the condition that it describes
00:11:24.300
is one that people still don't want to have for themselves. So that would be a kind of neutral
00:11:30.920
description of that. What about in politics when the libs are trying to deceive everybody?
00:11:36.680
Well, that's what you see with abortion, especially. It's a woman's right to choose. It's
00:11:42.420
women's health care. It's reproductive freedom. It's choice. It's decision. It's this. It's that.
00:11:47.280
No, well, the thing you're describing is not only undesirable. The thing you're describing is shameful.
00:11:53.580
The thing you're describing is sinful. The thing you're describing is deeply immoral. You're talking
00:11:57.180
about killing a baby. There's no way that you can put lipstick on that pig and convince us all that
00:12:01.880
it's Marilyn Monroe. It's a horrible thing. And so good job, Dems. Change the language all you want.
00:12:07.640
Six months from now, you're going to be in the same situation. The more effective strategy would be to
00:12:11.700
change your mind and stop embracing things that are obviously wrong. Don't do it. You'll sleep a lot
00:12:18.100
easier at night, okay? You'll definitely sleep a lot easier if you sleep on Bull and Branch sheets.

00:12:28.940
better, but it also teaches me things. Did you know that thread count is just a totally made-up number?
00:12:36.860
It's not that it's a made-up number, but it's a made-up meaningful statement. You always hear
00:12:42.480
sheet companies that say, we've got a seven gazillion thread count. It doesn't matter how
00:12:45.460
many threads you've got if the threads are not of the highest quality, okay? So a lot of sheet
00:12:50.400
companies, they'll say, oh, we've got all this thread count, but their sheets aren't any good
00:12:53.760
because the threads aren't very high quality. Bull and Branch uses only the best 100% organic cotton
00:13:01.720
threads on earth for a superior softness and a better night's sleep. I love these guys. I've
00:13:07.280
been sleeping on Bull and Branch for years. They're like a drug dealer. They gave me the first

00:13:33.960
Why now? Why are the Democrats trying to change all of their language and use these highly focused
00:13:41.840
grouped phrases to communicate with the public? They need to do that right now because they are
00:13:51.200
harming vulnerable members of our society in a very visible way. Why is this abortion issue
00:13:57.980
right now the big issue? Well, in part, it's because of the Supreme Court decision.
00:14:01.580
Why is the Supreme Court decision so prominent? Well, because we've got conservative judges on the
00:14:06.500
court. We've got pro-life laws in Mississippi and pro-life laws in Florida. Why do we have these pro-life
00:14:09.940
laws? Why are people focusing on this issue more than they have apparently in 50 years?
00:14:16.460
They are because the libs are not as good at hiding their horrible agenda. They are harming kids,
00:14:24.200
not just little tiny babies in the womb. It's easier to hide that, relatively easier to hide that,
00:14:28.300
even with sonograms. But now they're harming kids in kindergarten, first grade, second grade.
00:14:33.220
That's why you see the parents movement in Virginia. That's why you see the parents movement in
00:14:36.640
Florida. The Illinois Department of Child and Family Services is sponsoring a kiddie corner
00:14:44.380
at the Pride Parade. Chris Ruffo just broke this. The Illinois Department of Children and Family
00:14:50.620
Services is sponsoring a Pride Fest kiddie corner featuring drag queen story time, drag kids,
00:14:55.880
drag kids to dress up. So you're dressing up little boys in stripper clothing and putting them in little
00:15:02.180
stiletto heels and having them dance around for the sexual pleasure of perverts and deviants.
00:15:06.260
That's just, that's wonderful. That's open-minded. That's tolerant. And if you oppose that, if you
00:15:10.780
oppose putting kids in sexualized clothing of the opposite sex, why you're just a closed-minded bigot,
00:15:16.560
according to the government of Illinois, and they have a drag show for children as well. We all know
00:15:23.540
that this is completely, completely disordered and wrong. And then the fight usually breaks down
00:15:31.620
something like this. Conservatives will object to kids being sexualized and exposed to all this
00:15:37.640
absolutely degenerate filth. And then the liberals will come in and they'll say, you're being open-minded.
00:15:43.900
Stop forcing your religious views on it. It's fine if you think that this is immoral in your private life,
00:15:49.640
but don't you force your religious views about why we shouldn't dress up little boys like they're
00:15:54.940
hookers and have them dance around on a stage for perverts. Stop forcing your religious views on us.
00:16:01.200
And the conservatives were often left speechless by the sheer audacity and mendacity of the claims of
00:16:08.200
the left. But the way to try to shake them into some understanding of reality is to point out that the
00:16:15.280
left is forcing their religious views on us. The clearest religious view they're forcing here is
00:16:20.100
the religious view that the soul has nothing to do with the body. And so it is ontologically possible
00:16:26.520
to be a man trapped in a woman's body or a woman trapped in a man's body, and that the body has
00:16:31.300
nothing to do with our true identity, and that we have an obligation to affirm our own deeply felt
00:16:38.440
sentiments that we might be the opposite sex, and to reject our body or to mutilate our body or to dress
00:16:43.160
up like the opposite sex, and that this is a good thing. Those are moral claims. Those are claims
00:16:47.780
about human nature. Those are religious claims. And the left is not merely relegating their religion
00:16:52.660
to the private sphere like they insist that Christians do, and Jews do, and Muslims do.
00:16:57.140
They're making their religious views the public religion of the United States. We have a public
00:17:01.160
religion because all states at all times have some kind of public religion. Our public religion in
00:17:06.640
this country from its very earliest days in the early 17th century up until about five minutes ago was
00:17:12.120
Christianity. That was the public religion with a broad range of tolerance because there were
00:17:16.580
disagreements among the various Protestant Christian sects, and there were always Catholics here from
00:17:20.900
almost the nation's earliest days. There was some Catholic presence in the New World. Well, that's now
00:17:25.700
gone out the window, and the public religion is transgenderism, and the public religion is LGBT,
00:17:31.960
and the public religion is diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the public religion is multiculturalism,
00:17:36.280
and that public religion makes different claims about human nature and the relation of man to state,
00:17:41.640
and the relation of who we are to our creator, who we are to one another. And so they're going to
00:17:47.760
force that out there. And the challenge for conservatives is that we have just spent half a
00:17:54.140
century at least embracing the left's idea of a separation between church and state, and embracing
00:18:01.200
the left's idea of a radical kind of religious freedom that says that you have the right to believe
00:18:06.040
whatever you want without any restrictions from the government. And that's not really a conservative
00:18:10.220
argument, and that's not really traditional in American history, and that's not really
00:18:18.080
philosophically coherent. And it doesn't really make sense. Of course, there have to be limits on
00:18:24.180
these things. We don't really believe that if you are a member of the religious group,
00:18:32.020
well, I don't even need to make up a crazy hypothetical example. We don't really believe that if you're a
00:18:35.960
member of a pagan religious group that practices human sacrifice, that you have a right to do that.
00:18:40.660
We don't actually think that. It might be your deeply held religious view, but you don't have
00:18:45.140
a right to do it. The Satanists right now are saying that part of their religious practice is
00:18:49.780
abortion, which is true. That actually is part of the Satanists' religious practice. Nevertheless,
00:18:54.960
we the people still have the right to prohibit that, and they have no right to pursue it.
00:18:59.440
Conservatives need to get a lot more comfortable talking about public religion. We need to get a lot more
00:19:03.840
comfortable saying, yeah, we are going to legislate morality, because all legislation legislates
00:19:09.060
morality, and the libs have been legislating morality for the last 50, 60, 70 years, and it's
00:19:14.140
been a complete disaster for everybody. And so you know what? I think we're going to go back to
00:19:17.960
legislating morality, and everybody's going to be better off for it. We got to get our confidence back.
00:19:24.360
Got to get some, I don't know, some of those anatomical features that everyone's focused on these
00:19:27.760
days. I think we need to grow some of them again too, because the prevailing sexual ethic that is
00:19:37.120
reigning in the country and being enforced by the state is insane. In Wisconsin right now,
00:19:42.780
there's a Wisconsin school district that just filed a Title IX sexual harassment complaint
00:19:48.980
against middle school students. And they are filing this complaint against the students,
00:19:55.060
because the students used the correct pronoun to refer to one of their classmates.
00:20:02.160
An investigation into three Kiel middle school students has been launched. The school district
00:20:07.720
has filed a Title IX complaint accusing the students of using incorrect pronouns while addressing
00:20:15.220
another student. Funks 11's Monique Lopez spoke with the parent of one of the students in this
00:20:20.800
project education report. I received a phone call from the principal over at the elementary school
00:20:27.540
forewarning me, letting me know that I was going to be receiving an email with sexual harassment
00:20:34.240
allegations against my son. Rosemary Rabideau's 13-year-old son, Brayden, is one of the three
00:20:40.140
eighth grade Kiel middle school students accused of sexual harassment. Something she disputes.
00:20:46.880
He said he's being allegedly charged with sexual harassment for not using proper pronouns.
00:20:53.240
Some might say or think that you or your son are against the LGBTQ plus community.
00:21:00.080
Now, there's so much here. You could write a doctoral dissertation about this whole interview
00:21:04.920
because you saw right there at the end, the interviewer says, so your 13-year-old son is
00:21:11.680
being charged with sexual harassment for using the correct pronouns to refer to a sexually confused
00:21:17.700
classmate. Some people would say you're against the LGBTQ community. And you see what that woman
00:21:23.720
says. This totally normal mother who says, are you kidding? You're accusing my 13-year-old son of
00:21:27.640
sexual harassment for calling a her, a her, or a him, a him. And they said, but are you against
00:21:33.740
the LGBT? She said, no, no, we're for it, LGBT. We love, we're totally pro-LGBT. Oh yeah, man,
00:21:39.920
absolutely. That's our, we worship at the altar of LGBT because this woman knows that that's part of
00:21:45.760
the public religion. And she knows that if you contradict the public religion, you will be called
00:21:50.600
a heretic and you will be ostracized and you will be punished. And she knows that. So even this woman
00:21:56.260
who's defending her kid and saying, what you're telling me my 13-year-old son has to use the wrong
00:22:01.040
pronouns to, apparently this, one of the students wants the pronoun to be they or them, which,
00:22:06.980
which makes me wonder if the student has multiple personality disorder, that they think that they
00:22:10.940
have multiple people inside of them, that they and them, which is now being used as a singular
00:22:16.860
pronoun by very confused people. And the student said, no, I'm not going to do that. And now the
00:22:21.740
student's being punished. Are you against the LGBT? No, no, never, never. No, please.
00:22:27.080
Now, of course, if one is a Christian, a Jew, a Muslim, an agnostic person who just sort of holds
00:22:34.160
on to a traditional sexual ethic, they might have objections to some aspects of the LGBT,
00:22:42.020
LMNOP ideology and sexual ethic. For all of the history of civilization, pretty much,
00:22:50.220
people would have had legitimate objections to some of that sexual ethic. You are not permitted
00:22:55.340
to have those objections now. And we're being told this is in the name of neutrality and open-mindedness
00:23:01.360
and liberality. But of course, it's not. Really, what the state has said here is, no,
00:23:09.020
you do not have the right to your religion. You do not have the right to your sexual ethic. You do not
00:23:14.240
have the right to think what you think. Actually, it's the most closed-minded sort of regime that one
00:23:22.000
could possibly imagine. And now it's being taken to the height of absurdity. Then, of course,
00:23:27.260
they're going after the 13-year-old boys, which is preposterous. On the schoolyard, people say all
00:23:31.780
sorts of mean things. But the kids aren't even saying a mean thing here. They're being punished
00:23:35.140
not for telling a lie, not for being insulting, not for being cruel. They're being punished for telling
00:23:39.920
the truth. And people around the country are looking at this and they're saying, hey, whatever
00:23:44.080
it is, whatever the left is selling, we are not buying. If this is what leftism leads to, we're
00:23:51.300
out. See you later, folks. Speaking of sexual issues, the Women's March was this weekend or it
00:23:58.580
was supposed to be this weekend and a lot didn't really happen. This was all about, or the whole
00:24:05.540
point of it was supposed to be about defending abortion, okay? Well, we've got a really important
00:24:11.400
Daily Wire original documentary out, presented by yours truly, called Choosing Death, The Legacy of
00:24:15.900
Roe. If you want to learn something about this issue, I would not recommend going out and shouting
00:24:22.440
with the screaming pro-abortion people at the Women's March. I would recommend becoming a Daily
00:24:26.460
Wire member. Watch Choosing Death, The Legacy of Roe, to hear the facts and to hear the real stories
00:24:31.360
that the abortion regime has suppressed for generations. Here's the trailer.
00:24:35.540
Many times when we did this, as we started, patients would begin crying and protesting. But
00:24:57.140
once we had begun dilating the cervix and passing instruments into the uterus, it was too late
00:25:09.060
I was handing hush money to women who we had left pieces of their baby. We had put these women's
00:25:17.860
lives in jeopardy. We had put their lives at risk and we were literally giving them a check
00:25:23.180
for $800. And for a poor woman, $800 is a lot of money.
00:25:32.600
I mean, there have been so many moments in the last decade plus of going undercover in abortion
00:25:37.160
clinics myself and seeing just heartbreaking things. Women vomiting in the hallway of an abortion
00:25:44.160
clinic crying out in pain. The late-term abortionist talking casually about how they would literally
00:25:51.040
leave a born-alive baby to die. Or if you deliver the baby in the toilet, then you pick it up and
00:25:58.500
Babies are being born alive. And the backs of their necks are being slid. They are being drowned.
00:26:05.120
Um, their necks are being snapped. It's, it's happening more often than people want to think
00:26:12.060
about. These abortion facilities, these abortion providers, these doctors, they don't care about
00:26:20.520
these women. And you're just, you're realizing you're watching in front of your own eyes play out
00:26:26.000
America's greatest horror story, which is how we butcher children in the name of choice.
00:27:05.120
The fight for life has all come down to this moment. Go to dailywire.com
00:27:10.100
slash choosing. Help us to expose abortion's full, gruesome truth. We'll be right back with
00:27:15.940
a lot more. The libs are losing right now. They're at least losing ground with the people
00:27:32.140
because we can see what they're doing. We can see what they're doing in the schools. That was first
00:27:36.400
open to us during COVID-19, during the lockdowns where parents could see on a screen what their
00:27:41.560
kids were being taught. That's because of social media, which though social media tries to suppress
00:27:46.880
some awful clips of the libs, they don't often totally succeed at that. It is because we're
00:27:52.160
seeing what their euphemistic abstract policies choice and affirmation, and we're seeing what
00:27:59.080
that means in real life. There's a video brought to us by our great friends over at libs of TikTok
00:28:03.580
of a queer surgeon. That's his name on Twitter, atqueersurgeon, this guy Blair Peters, bragging
00:28:13.620
about performing, quote, gender-affirming mastectomies, top surgeries for three young
00:28:18.460
adults and adolescents in a day sometimes. And by that, he means lopping off the perfectly healthy
00:28:24.740
breasts of teenage girls, of these young girls. He brags about it on video.
00:28:29.240
I'm here to clarify and speak some truths about what's happening with gender-affirming care in
00:28:34.140
adolescence. Most of the bills that are going through right now aim to limit this care for
00:28:38.400
people under the age of 18. And there's this false narrative that a lot of teenagers are having
00:28:43.080
gender-affirming surgery. Most of the teenagers that are having surgery are getting chest surgery,
00:28:48.500
and most of that is happening before 18 because these individuals didn't have access to early
00:28:54.080
enough medical treatment. So using surgery as sort of this false narrative to attack gender-affirming
00:29:01.020
care as a whole is not correct. The truth is that by limiting access to medical care with some of
00:29:06.680
these bills, you're actually going to cause more people to need gender-affirming surgical care.
00:29:11.160
That's his explanation. He's saying, look, so the reason that I'm lopping off the perfectly healthy
00:29:16.140
sexual organs of teenage girls left and right in medical experiments, the likes of which we've never
00:29:21.220
seen before in the world, we're doing this because they're not letting us pump five-year-olds full of
00:29:26.040
hormones and eight-year-olds full of cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers. So if they would just let
00:29:31.500
us do that, then I wouldn't have to lop off the perfectly healthy organs of the teenagers, okay? And that's
00:29:36.780
why it's so important for us to pass these laws that will ensure our right to sexually mutilate little
00:29:46.000
kids. That's what he's saying. In a just society, this guy would be in prison, okay? His name is,
00:29:51.220
what is his name? Blair Peters. In a just society, this man would not be practicing medicine.
00:29:56.440
He would not be bragging about, he posted this video. It wasn't some undercover investigation.
00:30:01.760
He himself posted this video to TikTok, which none of us would have seen because TikTok is all young
00:30:06.400
people and obviously skews to the left. And then lives of TikTok reposts it to Twitter and we get to see
00:30:11.900
it. This guy should be in prison. There should be laws against the sort of thing that he is doing.
00:30:17.740
And obviously, there should be laws against the sort of thing that he is advocating,
00:30:21.440
which is even more radical. And there's no throw your hands up in the air, guys. There's no
00:30:26.640
bury your head in the sand. There's no you do you. I'm not going to force my views on you.
00:30:31.120
Either we're going to live in a country that sexually mutilates little kids or not. The law is
00:30:36.360
going to say one thing or the other. Either we're allowed to do that or we're not allowed to do that.
00:30:39.960
I think we should not be allowed to do that. I think it's wrong. I think it's wrong because of
00:30:44.240
biology and because of philosophy and because of morality. And I think it's wrong in part because
00:30:50.420
we just all know it's wrong. And even people who are not the most educated or sophisticated or read
00:30:55.760
the latest journals, we just know it's wrong to do that, to lop the breasts off of teenage girls.
00:31:01.320
It's just wrong, right? And we know it. And we're right to know that. And we don't need to second
00:31:05.780
guess that. And we don't need to try to deny the intuitions that happen to be correct.
00:31:12.620
And we have the right in a self-government, if indeed we live in a self-government,
00:31:17.960
to pass laws against that and to criminalize this. And if this creep, if this pervert, Blair Peters,
00:31:23.140
decides to keep pushing this radical, destructive sexual ideology on innocent little kids,
00:31:28.840
then that guy should go to jail. And there's nothing wrong with that, okay?
00:31:31.740
Speaking of prison, we have to get to, I guess, probably the biggest story of the weekend,
00:31:37.640
this awful shooting in Buffalo. There was a guy who went in, shot up a supermarket in Buffalo. I
00:31:42.860
believe 10 people are killed. As always, whenever there is a shooting with a potential political
00:31:49.680
or especially racial motive, everybody goes in instantly and tries to find out why the guy is
00:31:58.300
actually on the other team. That's what always happens, right? The left goes in, they try to
00:32:02.020
make him on the right. And then the right goes in and tries to make him on the left. I guess,
00:32:05.260
actually, the first thing that happens is the media will go in and decide whether or not to cover the
00:32:09.540
story. And if the story corresponds with their predetermined political narrative, then they
00:32:16.060
will cover it. So if the story is about a white racist killing black people, they will cover it.
00:32:21.480
They will make that a huge national news story. The president of the United States, as in this
00:32:27.180
case, will go and visit and make a big media spectacle out of it. If the story contradicts
00:32:33.200
the narrative, if it is, say, a black racist killing white people or a black racist killing
00:32:38.020
Asian people, they will bury it. They will not talk about it. That's what happened with the
00:32:41.700
Waukesha killing. That's what happened with the New York City subway shooting. There were news stories
00:32:46.500
for about 24 hours. And then when the narrative did not fit the media's preconceived political
00:32:52.380
agenda, then they just buried that news story. The president didn't have time to go to Waukesha.
00:32:56.660
The president didn't have time to go to New York City, but now he will. Okay. That is just what
00:33:01.140
always is going to happen. I thought Candace Owens had the best take on this. She said,
00:33:04.180
don't forget, folks, the media don't care about white people. The media don't care about black people.
00:33:09.000
The media only care about power. And so that's going to affect all of the coverage here.
00:33:13.400
Then the next thing that happens is that everyone tries to go in and make the guy on the other side.
00:33:18.800
And so the left is obviously doing that to the right right now. And the right to some degree is
00:33:22.720
doing it with the left too. I read the purported manifesto of this killer. I don't see any reason
00:33:29.500
to read his thesis on why he committed this crime. I don't see any reason to say the guy's name. I don't
00:33:35.380
see any reason to give him the airtime and fame that he is obviously seeking. But I will go in just
00:33:42.700
to clarify things in terms of who he is and what some of his motivations were. Not what he was
00:33:48.500
necessarily hoping to achieve or his grand political thesis, but just what might have
00:33:54.300
motivated him. Because you're going to hear a lot of misinformation, certainly from the left,
00:33:58.540
but maybe some from the right too. So he says, are you a Christian? No, I do not ask God for salvation
00:34:04.180
by faith, nor do I confess my sins to him. I personally believe there is no afterlife.
00:34:08.000
So if anyone tells you this is about Christianity or Christian nationalism or Christian whatever,
00:34:13.120
that's not true. He says it's not true and he seems sincere. Are you a fascist? Yes. He says
00:34:18.460
he's a fascist. Are you white supremacist? Yes. Are you an anti-Semite? Yes. I wish all Jews to hell,
00:34:24.720
he says. This is more evidence that he's not Christian because if you're a Christian, what you want is for
00:34:31.460
Jews to accept Jesus and go to heaven and be in heaven forever with everybody, not just Jews, but
00:34:37.840
everybody on earth, you are praying for everyone's salvation. This guy's obviously not doing that.
00:34:42.780
He's wishing someone to go to hell. Are you a neo-Nazi? He says, I support neo-Nazism. Are you a
00:34:47.540
conservative? No. So they're going to say, this guy's a conservative. He explicitly says, I'm not a
00:34:51.660
conservative. Are you right wing? He says, depending on the definition, sure. Are you left wing?
00:34:57.540
Depending on the definition, sure. And this is a point that I always try to make. You always hear
00:35:03.400
the left invoking Nazis and Hitler. And they say, and they call everyone to the right of Hillary
00:35:08.780
Clinton, a Nazi and Hitler. And then sometimes you'll hear people on the right come back and say,
00:35:14.100
actually, Hitler was a leftist. Actually, Nazism is a left-wing ideology. It's not a right-wing
00:35:18.040
ideology. And the answer is, not everything breaks down on the left or right. The answer is left and
00:35:24.380
right, which is a political framework that comes out of the French Revolution and describes the
00:35:29.100
people who defended the church and the monarchy on the right and the people who defended the radicals
00:35:33.760
and the atheists on the left and the revolutionaries on the left. That doesn't apply to every single
00:35:38.780
political situation. Hitler and the Nazis had some aspects of their political movement that were
00:35:44.300
right wing, that had some aspects of the political movement that were traditionalists and had,
00:35:48.920
they were traditionalists themselves and had some aspects of their political movement that were
00:35:53.480
left-wing, the rampant atheism, the anti-Christianity, the modernism, the modern scientism. Those things
00:36:02.020
were the statism. Those things were aspects of the left. And so you really can't, I know that's the
00:36:08.720
least satisfying answer of all, but you actually can't categorize the Nazis or lots of political
00:36:14.820
movements on just the left or on just the right. He says, are you a socialist? Depending on the
00:36:20.600
definition. So he says, in a way, I actually am a socialist. You're not going to hear that from the
00:36:25.240
media. What does that mean? It means you can't neatly characterize this guy. Did you always hold
00:36:29.060
these views? He says, when I was 12, I was deep into communist ideology. From age 15 to 18, I consistently
00:36:34.680
moved further to the right. On the political compass, I fall in the mild, moderate, authoritarian
00:36:39.280
left category. So that's the category where you would lump Stalin or somebody in. Again, this is going to
00:36:44.220
contradict the media narrative, so you're not going to hear about it. And probably the media are going to
00:36:47.840
attack me for even reading this, but I think it's important to read this if you want to understand
00:36:53.120
what the motivations are. Not because this guy is some grand political thinker who should in any way
00:36:58.820
be emulated, but rather because we know that the media are going to lie about this, and so we want
00:37:03.820
to be able to form our own conclusions. If we had a trustworthy media, we wouldn't have to do that.
00:37:08.980
And then this might be the most interesting aspect here tactically. This Looney Tune says,
00:37:14.640
won't your attack result in calls for the removal of gun rights in the United States?
00:37:19.220
He says, yes, that is the plan all along. You said you would fight to protect your rights and
00:37:23.360
constitution. Soon the time will come. So he's saying, yes, actually the reason that I'm using
00:37:28.660
these guns, and in the manifesto, he posts all sorts of information about the guns, is to get gun
00:37:34.240
control. Because he says that if there's gun control, this will really irritate the people who
00:37:37.860
defend the Second Amendment, and this could increase the chances of some kind of war between the left and
00:37:43.460
the right or the races or whatever. That's really all I have to say about this. There's nothing left
00:37:52.660
to say that isn't said, obviously. It's very wrong to kill people. It's very wrong to embrace these
00:37:58.660
insane ideologies. But the rule of thumb, the rule of thumb that is really worth looking at here,
00:38:06.280
whether you find yourself being radicalized to the far left, or radicalized to the far right,
00:38:12.260
or radicalized to the far whatever if you can't place it, there is no end that justifies an
00:38:21.460
immoral means. We actually were talking about this last week, or the week before that. In parts of
00:38:29.200
this guy's ravings, he asked, will you regret this? And he says, I probably will. Yeah, I don't bear any
00:38:36.880
ill will toward these people individually. I don't think they've done anything wrong individually. But
00:38:40.720
my ideology that I've formed is such that I'm just going to suppress that moral intuition and
00:38:46.780
kill these people. Don't do that. People do this all the time. Usually it doesn't have these sort of
00:38:51.520
tragic, extreme consequences. But people do this sort of thing all the time. They believe that their
00:38:56.560
ends, their political ends justify immoral means. They don't. They don't. They don't. There is no
00:39:02.700
end that justifies an immoral. Almost all the time, when you commit an immoral action because
00:39:09.580
you think that there is some good end that that will result in, it doesn't actually result in a
00:39:13.460
good end. But even if it could, then the immoral means would not be justified. You judge the action
00:39:19.220
on the action itself. In a completely separate sort of version of this, a month or so ago, I was with
00:39:27.460
Ted Cruz at Yale. And some kid thought he was going to be funny. And he got up and he said,
00:39:31.620
to end world hunger, would you fellate another man? And he thought this was a really funny question
00:39:36.240
because if we answered no, then we look heartless because we don't want to end world hunger. And if
00:39:42.360
we answered yes, then we just said we would fellate another man on stage. And the kid would have thought
00:39:46.040
that was funny. But I actually didn't think this was a complicated question. The question was,
00:39:50.980
would you commit an immoral action for an ostensibly good end? And the answer is no. No,
00:39:57.300
don't. That's really simple stuff, folks. And we're living in the age, post Machiavelli,
00:40:02.200
we're living in the age where we judge everything by these abstract calculations and utilitarianism
00:40:09.000
and maximizing the greatest good for the greatest number even involves cracking a few eggs to make
00:40:12.840
an omelet. Uh-uh. That's morally idiotic. That's morally bankrupt. Just do the right thing. Okay?
00:40:19.480
Simple, simple enough. Now, the moral confusion that we've got is spread throughout the political
00:40:27.660
culture. It's spread throughout, especially throughout academia, which is ironic because
00:40:32.520
you would think the academics would have some sense of the reality of the situation because
00:40:36.880
they're supposed to spend their lives studying it. But that's not what really happens. Do you remember
00:40:41.600
some months ago, there was a chick who was a professor at Old Dominion University,
00:40:48.660
Alan Walker, a chick who now thinks she is a man or some kind of other sexual category.
00:40:56.240
And this woman wrote a book called A Long Dark Shadow, Minor Attracted People and Their Pursuit
00:41:02.700
of Dignity. The thing that got this gal in trouble is that she seemed to want to de-stigmatize
00:41:12.480
I use the term minor attracted person or MAP in the title and throughout the book for multiple
00:41:17.840
reasons. First of all, because I think it's important to use terminology for groups that
00:41:23.200
members of that group want others to use for them. And MAP advocacy groups like Before You Act
00:41:28.860
have advocated for use of the term MAP. They've advocated for it primarily because it's less
00:41:36.000
stigmatizing than other terms like pedophile. A lot of people, when they hear the term pedophile,
00:41:41.740
they automatically assume that it means a sex offender. And that isn't true. And it leads
00:41:46.620
to a lot of misconceptions about attractions toward minors. I've definitely heard the idea
00:41:52.500
that you brought up, though, that the use of the term minor attracted person suggests
00:41:56.340
that it's okay to be attracted to children. But using a term that communicates who someone
00:42:01.360
is attracted to doesn't indicate anything about the morality of that attraction.
00:42:05.620
Okay. So it doesn't, and look, we need to call them MAPs because we need to de-stigmatize this.
00:42:10.500
Okay. And we, so Old Dominion University had the good sense to fire this chick because she's
00:42:15.100
defending pedos and she's trying to normalize pedophilia as the right has warned what happened
00:42:19.400
for many years. And we were called kooks and conspiracy theorists and slippery slopists. And now
00:42:23.380
that's what's going on. So just over the past few days, we get an announcement from Johns Hopkins
00:42:28.160
University, which is ostensibly a more prestigious university saying, we're excited to share that
00:42:34.360
Alan Walker PhD will be joining the Moore Center as a postdoctoral fellow on May 25th. So the reason
00:42:40.440
I mentioned Johns Hopkins is a more prestigious name brand university is this chick wasn't punished
00:42:45.620
for trying to normalize pedos. She got a promotion. Now, of course, I have a great deal more respect
00:42:50.160
for Old Dominion University than I do for Johns Hopkins. Old Dominion seems to know that it's not
00:42:54.880
right to normalize pedophilia. Johns Hopkins doesn't understand that, but it shows you how
00:42:58.800
deep the rot runs that in this sort of society, things that would have gotten you run out of town
00:43:04.920
on a rail not 10 years ago will now not see you punished. Now you will get a promotion because
00:43:11.240
all the incentives are in favor of that kind of disorder. Another thing happened over the past few
00:43:19.940
days that the media are not covering. You probably haven't even heard of it. Did you know that we're
00:43:26.080
at war? Did you know that the United States of America is at war? I didn't know that. I don't
00:43:34.420
remember the president declaring war. I don't remember the Congress declaring war. I don't remember
00:43:40.820
there being a vote on this. I don't remember there being a big national discussion about this.
00:43:45.620
Nevertheless, apparently we are at war according to the Democratic majority leader in the United
00:43:53.420
States House of Representatives who says this is a time of war and we are at war with Russia.
00:44:00.540
I wish we'd get off this and really focus on the enemy. I know there's a lot of politics here,
00:44:06.660
but we're at war. We need to produce energy. As I told you, Code Point is now sending 80%
00:44:15.520
reversing Asia supply to European supply because they need it because we're at war. But very
00:44:22.620
frankly, we're at war. A dictator has invaded without justification a friendly country,
00:44:31.600
the Ukraine, and they have fought back with extraordinary valor.
00:44:36.480
We're at war. Now, Steny Hoyer has been in Congress for about 7 billion years at this point.
00:44:41.380
What's funny is he undercuts his own argument, even as he's describing, he's saying a dictator,
00:44:45.320
Vladimir Putin, invaded a friendly country. Friendly to whom? Obviously not friendly to
00:44:50.720
Russia. Friendly, he means, I think, to the United States and to the West. Invaded a friendly country
00:44:55.700
without justification. I agree with that. I don't think the invasion was justified at all.
00:45:00.700
And Putin did that. He invaded the Ukraine. And because Steny Hoyer is so old and he's been around
00:45:07.420
so long, he doesn't realize that the Ukraine is not the name of the country. The Ukraine is a name
00:45:13.780
of a region of the Soviet Union, a part of Russia, actually. The Russians refer to Ukraine as the
00:45:19.660
Ukraine. The Ukrainians refer to Ukraine as Ukraine because Ukraine is its own sovereign country. So
00:45:25.300
this guy is so old. He's so confused. He's been around Washington for so long that he actually
00:45:30.100
undercuts his own argument for being at war, even while he's making it.
00:45:34.480
And then he has the audacity to come out and say, no, we, the country is at war and you didn't get
00:45:39.340
to vote on it. You representatives and you, the American people didn't really get to express your
00:45:43.440
views on it. And, but too bad we're at war because I say that we're at war. Do you want to go to war
00:45:49.600
with a nuclear former superpower over a territorial dispute that's been going on for a thousand years?
00:45:58.160
Do you want to do that? I'm not saying, if, if you even raise this question, you will be called
00:46:02.880
pro-Putin. You will be called a coward, a Neville Chamberlain. You will be called all sorts of names.
00:46:12.180
Do you, for the entire history of the Cold War, we managed to avoid direct war with Russia.
00:46:19.380
We fought little proxy wars, but we managed to avoid direct, saying that we were in a direct war
00:46:23.840
with Russia because of the threat of nuclear war. And now this old coot has decided in the twilight
00:46:31.560
of his political career that he is going to undo all of that and declare a hot direct war with a
00:46:38.100
nuclear former superpower that has lots and lots of missiles aimed at us right now over a territorial
00:46:43.560
dispute in Ukraine. Do you think that's a good idea? In, in order to think that's a bad idea,
00:46:51.040
you don't need to think that Putin's invasion is justified. You don't need to think that the
00:46:55.540
Ukraine should just roll over and, and let it happen. You don't need to think that Ukraine is
00:47:01.700
a bad country or that Ukraine is a good country or that any of, you don't need to think any, you just,
00:47:07.060
I think the American people still get some say in whether or not we go to war, right?
00:47:12.080
Russia is not attacking the United States. This is not an existential threat to the United.
00:47:17.660
So why is this happening? Because it actually ties into all the same things that we've been
00:47:23.460
talking about from the top of the show that we've been talking about for weeks now. Because the ruling
00:47:28.160
class and the democratic party is the majority party in the ruling class and the republicans are
00:47:32.480
kind of the junior partner. Some establishment republicans obviously play a role in that,
00:47:36.480
but they're the junior partner. The democrat party believes that they do not have accountability
00:47:40.300
to the voters anymore and they don't need to answer to the voters on anything, on life,
00:47:43.820
on the economy, on energy, on immigration, on, on even matters of war. The democrat views right now
00:47:50.860
are completely opposite to the majority of the American people. And you're seeing them really
00:47:54.960
underwater in all the polls. The democrats don't seem to care. Two explanations for that. Either
00:48:00.360
they're just extremely stupid. Could be, could be, I'm not putting it past them. Or they don't think it
00:48:07.000
really matters. They don't think that they're really going to be held accountable. On this point,
00:48:10.720
I just watched Dinesh D'Souza's new movie, 2000 Mules, about the rigging that took place in the
00:48:15.780
2020 presidential election. It's a terrific movie. You should go check it out. It doesn't make the
00:48:22.540
whole argument with totally definitive everything that the election was totally definitively stolen,
00:48:28.620
but it makes a pretty good argument, makes a pretty convincing one. I would recommend checking
00:48:33.080
that out. And I think it's a better explanation because I don't think that the democrats are just
00:48:36.180
complete idiots. I don't. Call me charitable. Say I've gone soft in my old age. I don't think it's
00:48:41.820
that. I think they feel comfortable that they are going to be able to broadly maintain their
00:48:46.300
political power. And so they don't need to be answerable to the voters on really any of these
00:48:50.580
questions. They're going to go out there and they're going to trans your kids and they're going
00:48:54.040
to flood your country with foreign nationals and they're going to destroy the value of your wealth
00:48:58.160
and they're going to raise the price of gas and they're going to kill your energy industry and
00:49:01.780
they're going to send you to war and you're not going to get to say jack diddly squat about it.
00:49:07.480
And now what they're saying, there is a report out that Vladimir Putin is sick. There have been
00:49:12.340
lots of reports on this. That Vladimir Putin is sick. He's got cancer. They say an oligarch close
00:49:17.580
to the Kremlin was recorded on tape saying the president is very ill with blood cancer. Some people
00:49:22.640
have said he has Parkinson's disease. People have been saying this for years. The evidence for it is
00:49:26.260
pretty weak. They'll say, well, his face is puffy. So that's how you know he's dying. And I don't
00:49:31.700
know. I don't really believe any of the so-called news coming out of this war in Ukraine because
00:49:36.240
there's propaganda on both sides. But let's say that it is real. I'm not saying he might be sick.
00:49:41.140
He might be terminally ill. If so, do you think it's a really good idea to heighten, to escalate
00:49:49.820
a war with that guy? Do you think that's really smart, a dying, desperate man? And if it's not real,
00:49:54.240
the reason I sort of dismiss the claims that Putin is sick, or I just don't focus on them when I'm
00:50:00.400
trying to think about this war is because it's so prideful to say that every other actor in the
00:50:07.820
world, all of our adversaries, they're just crazy. And they're just crazy. And there's no, I'm not
00:50:12.920
sure that they're just crazy. I think a lot of them are pretty sophisticated. And I think that
00:50:16.360
if we believe that they're crazy, we're going to put ourselves at a disadvantage because I think
00:50:20.760
there are plenty of rational reasons for Russia to invade Ukraine. They've done it many times throughout
00:50:25.160
history. And Putin's been talking about doing this for a very long time as well.
00:50:29.580
And I think that if we understand the rational reasons and not just write all of our adversaries
00:50:34.900
off as total nuts, it's going to give us a much smarter foreign policy. It's going to allow us to
00:50:39.800
better rebuff our adversaries around the world. And that's also going to allow the American people
00:50:45.820
to engage in a debate over how we want to act. But of course, the ruling class doesn't want to do
00:50:52.120
that. They don't want to hear from anybody else. They don't want to be told no. They don't want to
00:50:56.860
hear from any of us. And so that's the question. As we head into the midterm elections, will we still
00:51:02.100
be permitted to make our voices heard? Will we still be able to do that in the political process
00:51:06.540
or not? I hope we are. I hope there's still, I still have some hope. Hope's a theological virtue.
00:51:11.620

Today on The Matt Walsh Show, we hijacked the Women's March this weekend to let all the attendees
00:52:09.200
know about my new film, What is a Woman? Today I'll play the full trailer
00:52:12.200
for you and we'll talk about why the film is needed and what we hope to accomplish with it.
00:52:15.660
Also, speaking of why the film is needed, three middle school boys have been charged with sexual
00:52:19.580
harassment for misgendering, quote unquote, a classmate. And the media vulture is immediately
00:52:23.680
set to work politicizing a mass shooting in Buffalo. Plus, the mayor of Chicago poses for
00:52:27.680
embarrassing photos in Texas while violence rips her city apart. And our daily cancellation,
00:52:32.380
an immigrant posts a sign in his Uber instructing passengers not to ask him where he's from because
00:52:37.180
that question makes him uncomfortable and sick. We'll talk about all that and more today in The Matt
