Today on the Matt Walls show, major medical organizations called the DOJ to arrest and imprison those of us who criticize their medical practices.
Also, female athletes at a school in Vermont are banned from the locker room because they don't want to get naked in front of a boy.
Candice Owens and Kanye West throw up trouble by wearing shirts with a very controversial message, White Lives Matter.
You can't say that.
Leftist activists make their counterinsurgency battle plans for my What is a Woman's Screening Tour.
and in our daily cancellation, two gay men say they have a right to be biological parents.
How does that work exactly? We'll find out today. That and much more on Matt Wall's show.

Yesterday, the American Academy of Pediatrics, along with the American Medical
Association and the Children's Hospital Association collectively published a letter, which was
addressed to the Department of Justice, and which calls for me to be prosecuted and thrown in federal
prison. So just another day at the office, I suppose. But it's not just me being targeted,
of course, lives of TikTok, Chris Rufo, and others, all are on the hit list. And the letter doesn't
mention us by name, but it doesn't have to. Besides, there's always the media, which is here to sort of
fill in the blanks for them, which they rely on. So as the Hill reports, quote,
leading healthcare organizations and sent a letter Monday to Attorney General Merrick Garland
and called in the Department of Justice to investigate recent threats of violence against physicians,
hospitals, and families that provide gender affirming care to transgender youth.
The organizations collectively represent more than 270,000 positions and more than 220 children's hospitals nationwide.
Medical facilities that provide gender affirming health care to transgender minors have recently been the targets of online attacks.
And the letter says a few high-profile users are intentionally spreading false.
some misleading information. Conservative commentators including Tucker Carlson and Matt Walsh,
as well as right-wing social media accounts with large followings like lives of TikTok,
have alleged that doctors are abusing children by prescribing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones.
Now, notice the verbiage there, first of all. We're told that we've alleged that doctors are
abusing children by prescribing puberty blockers and gender-affirming hormones. So which part is
alleged that doctors are prescribing these drugs or that they're abusing children by prescribing the
drugs. So as always, the phrasing is intentionally vague and misleading and also false, we should note.
We are not alleging that doctors are giving sterilization and castration drugs to kids.
They're doing more than that, too. They're mutilating kids physically through surgery.
We're not alleging that. We're reporting it. We're observing it. We're pointing it out.
it is a fact that this is happening, and we are calling attention to the fact. We're also not
alleging that these drugs constitute abuse. Again, this is a fact according to any coherent definition
of the word abuse. We are arguing that this practice is abusive, and we are presenting evidence
and information to support that claim. But we know, of course, that the other side will not
honestly engage with us because they cannot. They can only lie and mislead. And if that fails,
they can call upon their powerful friends to have us silence. Which brings us to the actual letter,
which begins, quote, Dear Attorney General Garland, on behalf of the American Academy of Pediatrics,
the American Medical Association and the Children's Hospital Association, collectively representing
more than 270,000 physicians and more than 220 children's hospitals, we write to urge you
to investigate the organization's individuals and entities coordinating, provoking,
and carrying out bomb threats and threats of personal violence against children's hospitals and physicians across the U.S.
So take special note of the words individuals and provoking.
Now, if they had simply called upon the DOJ to investigate the people carrying out the alleged bomb threats,
I'd have no complaint about that. Yes, if there's a bomb threat, investigate it.
But they also want the federal government to bring the hammer down on the individuals who they claim are provoking these
alleged threats. And it's already been made very clear that anyone who reports on what these
hospitals are doing or criticizes them for it or says that they should not be doing what they're
doing is inciting violence. Even if they never call for violence or say anything that could be
remotely construed as an encouragement for violence, just by talking about it, they are inciting
violence. So it's clear who's being referred to here. Now continuing, from Boston to Akron to Nashville
to Seattle, children's hospitals, academic health systems, and physicians are being targeted and
threatened for providing evidence-based health care. These attacks have not only made it difficult
and dangerous for institutions and practices to provide this care, they've also disrupted
many other services to family seeking care. These coordinated attacks threaten federally
protected rights to health care for patients and their families. The attacks are rooted in an
intentional campaign of disinformation where a few high-profile users on social media share false and
misleading information targeting individual physicians and hospitals, resulting in a rapid escalation
of threats, harassment and disruption of care across multiple jurisdictions.
Organizations have called on technology companies to do more to prevent this practice on
digital platforms, and we now urge your office to take swift action to investigate and prosecute
all organizations, individuals, and entities responsible.
Well, there it is. High-profile users on social media are targeting hospitals, which results
threats. And this is happening in places like Boston and they mentioned Nashville.
They say these individuals should be investigated and prosecuted. And this is all according to
three of the largest and wealthiest medical organizations in the entire world. So make no mistake
here. They are explicitly stating that high profile people, quote unquote, who criticize their
practices should go to federal prison. That's what you're asking for when you're asking for the
federal government to arrest somebody. They're not just saying that it should happen. They're
actively calling on the attorney general to make it happen. They intend to use the force of the
federal government to silence us permanently if they can. So let me make a few points here.
First of all, we are once again accused of sharing false and misleading information,
to use their phrasing. And yet once again, they fail to provide any specific
example of this supposed misinformation. So I've been told a million times that what I'm saying
is misinformation, what lives with TikTok is saying is misinformation, Chris Rufo, everybody,
what we're all saying is misinformation. No one's ever specified what exact part is misinformation.
They don't do that because they know full well that everything we've reported about these hospitals
is factual and supported by extensive documentation and evidence. We lay it all out.
They also know full well that we're not saying anything that these medical establishments have not already said themselves.
So the hospitals say, we provide these services.
And then we say, look, these hospitals just said they provide these services.
And then we get accused of misinformation.
The real misinformation here is the claim that we are spreading misinformation.
That itself is misinformation.
It's also defamatory.
Okay, the AAP and the AMA, they are lying about us with the direct
an explicit intent of causing us harm. That's defamation. Second, I'm obviously well aware
that the people who go around all day crying about fascism and tyranny really have no idea
what these terms mean, nor do they care. But if we were living in some alternate reality
where such people had integrity, then maybe they'd be concerned about this actual real-life
example of authoritarian tyranny happening in their midst. Because to state again, these
extraordinarily well-funded and powerful medical organizations are attempting to use the arm of the
state to suppress, intimidate, and punish their critics. And not just the state. See, we see here the
whole multi-headed hydra monstrosity come into view. This is the medical establishment,
summoning the federal government, and also the big tech monopoly to crush anyone who opposes it.
And in this effort, they also get a big assist from the corporate media. So this is the
this is the system.
The corporate media, the government,
medical establishment,
big tech.
This is the system.
It's the thing the left
used to pretend to rage against.
Yesterday, there's a woman named
Brooke Binkowski,
who's the managing editor
of a sham fact-checking
outfit.
And she tweeted at me
in support of the AAP's
speech suppression tactic.
She said,
freedom of speech
isn't freedom from consequences
for that speech.
That's the part you bootlickers
always forget
until it's too late. Cry more. Yet, of course, the medical establishment is trying to get the
state involved. And free speech does most certainly mean that your speech should be free
from government reprisal. If that's not what free speech means, then I don't know what free speech
means. Which is what people like, you know, that's what people like Brooke really really mean,
by the way. They don't think that free speech means anything. They don't care about. They're too
cowardly to say it. But it's her usage of the term bootlicker that really interests me because
she is here coming to the defense of the federal government, the medical establishment,
big tech and the corporate media. She is defending all of the most powerful institutions
in our society and while doing so accusing me of being a boot licker. No, I'm not, I'm, I'm,
I'm the one that they are trying to stomp under their boot heel. Okay, me and anyone else that
opposes what the medical establishment is doing to kids, we're the ones being stomped or that
they're attempting to stomp. She's the one kneeling and kissing their feet. She and everybody
else on the left. They rage against the machine these days by bowing before it. But will they be
successful? The AAP wants Garland's goons to break down our doors and cart us away in the middle
of the night at gunpoint. And is that actually going to happen?
happen? Maybe. I mean, you can't rule it out. It's exactly what they just did to that pro-life
activists up in Pennsylvania. And if they'll do it on that issue to a guy like that, then they'll do it
here. So it's, it is possible. I will say that. It's certainly a possibility. I can't control
that or predict it. But what I can say is this, what I've been saying all along, which is that I
truly believe that gender ideology is one of the greatest evils in human history. I don't say that
lightly. It's what I actually, that's what I believe. And I believe that those of us who are in this
fight are called to be here. This is our vocation. This is our mission. There's nothing they could
threaten that would make me back down from this fight. You're going to have to throw me in prison
or kill me because that's the only way you'll shut me up. I would actually rather be dead than
surrender to this madness. For me, it's as simple as that.
Now let's get to our five headlines.
This is from Fox17.com.
It says,
Girls High School Volleyball Team,
a girls' high school volleyball team
has reportedly been banned
from its own locker room
after some players objected
to allowing a transgender player
to be present
while the team was changing clothes.
In Vermont,
the home of Randolph High School,
state policy dictates
that transgender students
can play sports
and use facilities
that correspond to their desired gender.
The state law allows for trans students
to play on Randolph High's girls
volleyball team and apparently use the team's locker rooms at the same time as everybody else.
Adding to this, the trans athlete allegedly made an inappropriate remark to other players on the
team while they were all changing, which made someone uncomfortable.
One student who spoke with the news outlet claimed that the issue had become a school-wide controversy.
Quote, it's a huge thing. Everyone's asking, so why aren't you allowed in the locker room?
According to Blake Allen, one of the affected volleyball players, my mom wants me to do this interview
to try to make a change. I feel like for stating my opinion that I don't want a biological
man changing with me that I should not have harassment charges or bullying charges. They should all be
dropped. Allen claims that several other students and some parents have raised complaints about
allowing the transgender athlete inside the girls' locker room. Those concerns were all reportedly
shot down by the school officials who pointed to state law, which says transgender athletes are allowed
to use whichever locker room they wish. One parent who spoke with a daily signal was reportedly
bewildered that the school would prioritize the transgender students' needs over their daughters.
Quote, we allowed a child who's biologically the opposite sex male to go in a locker room where biologically girls were getting fully changed.
The biological child was not changing and sat in the back and watched girls getting changed.
That made girls feel uncomfortable, made girls feel violated and not protected.
Yeah, I should think so.
In response to the complaints, Randolph High said in a letter to parents that it has plenty of space where students who feel uncomfortable with the laws may change in privacy.
So that's what we're saying to the girls, not to the parents.
Not to the boy who's claiming that his gender identity needs require him to change in a locker
room with girls, not even change reportedly.
Just sit there and watch them get changed.
So we can't say to him, you know, there's plenty of other facilities.
If you want to, you know, you can change somewhere else.
You don't need to change it.
We're not going to say it to him.
We'll say that to all the girls who feel uncomfortable.
Say to the girls, oh, if you don't want to get naked in front of this guy, that's your
problem.
You're the one with an issue.
You can go somewhere else.
In response to the complaints, Randolph High sent a letter.
to parents, and it said that it has plenty of space cover. I read that. Alan contests that the school's
statement and it's apparent solution of using more private areas such as bathroom stalls to change simply
aren't feasible. Alan said they want all the girls who feel uncomfortable, so pretty much 10 girls
to get changed in a single stall bathroom, which would take over 30 minutes, where if one person
got changed separately, would take a minute, no extra time. So you could have 10 girls take turns with
one stall in a bathroom getting changed. And that is the solution they came up,
rather than saying to the one guy, you get changed in the stall.
The girls have said they don't have any issue with the trans athlete playing on their team,
but they don't want the transgender person in the locker room where they're changing,
especially given the inappropriate remark that the person allegedly made.
And then it continues.
The volleyball team has been banned from the locker room by the school,
with officials saying in an email announcement that they do not make this decision lightly,
but we believe it's the right decision at this time.
Vermont, the Vermont Agency of Education Policy says
the use of restrooms and locker rooms
by transgender students requires schools
to consider numerous factors.
A transgender student should not be required
to use a locker room or restroom
that conflicts with the student's gender identity.
You know, I'm sometimes tempted to draw historical analogies
and to compare all of this
to other previous examples of, you know,
mass hysteria, mass insanity that you see
throughout history, but this is really on a different level, and it defies comparison in so many
ways. Other incidents of mass hysteria, for one thing, are much more contained. They're more
localized, the Salem Witch Trials, for example, and oftentimes they're much shorter in duration,
sort of these weird blips on the historical radar. So there was something called the Dancing Plague
of 1518. And I don't know, a whole lot of,
about it, but I don't think anyone really does. What I do know is that in 1518, it's some village
in the Roman Empire, I think in modern day France, dozens of people just townspeople started dancing,
and they danced for weeks, and nobody knew why they were dancing. And some of them, like,
danced themselves to death. And it was thought at the time that they were demonically possessed.
Now it's theorized that they were sick, or I think one theory is that they had food poisoning,
which makes you dance. I've had food poisoning before. I've been a Burger King like some
the other people. It's never caused me to dance. In fact, I would rather get food poisoning
that makes me vomit my guts out for two days than have food poisoning that makes me dance.
Anyway, that's one theory. Another theory is that it was some sort of psychotic episode
that they all were having at the same time. Personally, I prefer the contemporaneous explanation
of demonic possession makes more sense to me. But either way, these things are similar
to the transgender craze that is inflicting our society right now, in that they are,
bizarre, irrational. They cause people to completely lose their grip on reality. And also the transgender
craze like the dancing epidemic or the Salem Witch Trials will be looked back on by history
as a mystery, a period of time that requires explanation, but can never really be explained.
That's what you have to realize about what we're living through right now, that we are living in a
a chapter of the history books, one of those chapters where people are going to be trying to
explain it.
Like, that's going to be the main topic of conversation for historians of the futures.
How did that happen exactly?
And yet, this is different.
It's far worse because it's much wider spread.
It encompasses all of Western civilization.
It's been going on for years.
And the consequences are far more dire.
Far more dire.
But it's still mass hysteria.
intentionally orchestrated, but mass hysteria.
And now we have girls getting kicked out of their locker rooms
for not wanting to be naked around a boy who is also sexually harassing them, allegedly.
And even if he wasn't saying anything,
just his very presence is sexual harassment.
I mean, that's what we used to all agree, I thought,
that if you are interjecting yourself into a situation
and where a girl does not want you there
and doesn't consent to it
in her private space
where she's vulnerable
and taking her clothes off
and you show up
and she doesn't want you there,
your very presence is harassment.
We used to all agree
and the sane and rational among us still agree.
It's just that we're a dwindling minority,
unfortunately.
Being sane and rational, I mean.
By the way, Caitlin Jenner was on Fox
to talk about this,
and I saw this because it was trending
on social media this morning.
Caitlin Jenner was trending for this.
Let's check that out.
Here it is.
The left is hijacked and politicized.
Yet another minority group in our wonderful country that could hold USFA.
And this time again, it's trans people.
As a result of their radical left and their use of identity politics agenda, they're really driving this country apart.
I thought Joe Biden was supposed to be the great unifier.
And all they're doing is driving it is apart.
Now, does this trans girl have the right under Vermont law to be on the team and to use the locker room?
Yes, she does.
Do these girls have the right to comment and tell the school board how uncomfortable they are being in a locker room with basically a biological boy with a penis?
Absolutely they do.
And what is the school's solution to this?
Well, let's ban the 10 girls who complain.
The complainers put them off in the corner in their own little part of the locker room
and don't do anything when it comes to this trans person.
So honestly, everything is out of whack right now.
And these things have to stop.
Everything's out of whack, I agree.
So it's so out of whack that this male who identifies as a woman
is being trotted out onto TV to be the voice of reason.
and is celebrated by many on the right in that role,
but Jenner is not suited for the position of the voice of reason.
This is like the worst possible person, actually,
that you could bring in to talk about this would be Caitlin Jenner.
But of course, what they think is well, this is a trans person.
This is a perfect.
See, we get credit from the left because it's a trans person saying all this.
Jenner is part of the problem, okay?
It was Jenner winning Woman of the Year in 2015 or whenever that was
who did perhaps more than anyone else currently alive on the planet
to bring transgenderism into the mainstream.
You know, at least the final move into the mainstream
was brought about largely by Caitlin Jenner.
We used to be Bruce Jenner.
That was a pivotal moment in history.
And again, historians looking back on that,
they're going to point to that moment.
Not the beginning of the transgender praise, but even so, a pivotal moment of bringing it into the mainstream.
And it's not like Jenner has repented of that or said, you know what, I was wrong about all that.
I wish I wasn't a part of that. No, not at all. And now we get these Fox segments.
But Jenner's position makes no sense. Okay. Is the biological, and of course they don't ask, they don't ask this, but is, is the biological male a girl or not?
Jenner says, this person who's basically a biological male.
No, not basically a biological male.
It's a biological male.
So is the biological male a girl or not?
If he's a girl, as Jenner says, then yes, he would have the right to use the girl's locker room.
In fact, if he was a girl and hadn't done anything else.
So let's say that the sexual harassment, the inappropriate remarks that are alleged didn't actually happen.
So it's just a girl using the locker room, not doing anything wrong,
and those other girls decided to be mean and demand that he be kicked out
because he's not cool or something,
then it would be the right decision to tell the other girls that they should leave instead of him.
If he was actually a girl, but he's not.
See, the one single, the only argument against, quote, trans girls in the girls' locker room,
is that they are not girls.
That is the only argument.
It's the only one.
It's a good argument.
It's the only argument you need.
But it's also the only argument.
If we're not right about that,
if we are not correct
that trans girls are not in fact girls,
then we're wrong about the whole thing.
But we are correct, obviously.
There is no other argument.
So, Jenner wants to affirm the girlness
of this boy,
referring to him as a trans girl,
and yet still maintain
that the other girls are also correct.
Well, you know, they're both right.
No one's wrong here.
No, no, it's, this is a situation
where you have diametrically opposed points of view
and only one person can be right.
It's impossible for them both to be right.
And instead of getting someone on the segment
to just explain this and actually speak some truth,
we get Caitlin Jenner.
It doesn't say anything, by the way.
Really, all the whole segment just amounts to it.
Well, yeah, we got this situation.
This is happening and over here.
That's happening and over here.
there. It's a big mess. Oh, thanks, Caitlin. Very insightful. We really are grateful for your
insight yet again. All right, Daily Wire reports this. One day after wearing a White Lives Matter shirt
with Daily Wire host Candace Owens in Paris, Kanye West declared the Black Lives Matter movement over.
West and Owen's shock social media when the duo Don the White Lives Matter shirt, each of which
also included a picture of the Pope's face on the front while flanked by models and matching
tops. Okay, I never saw the front of the shirt. I saw the back. So there's the Pope face on the front
with models and matching tops. I can't quite connect the dots on that one, but that's all right.
Everyone knows the Black Lives Matter was a scam. West said on Instagram where he was nearly
18 million followers. Now it's over. You're welcome. The BLM movement has opposed law enforcement
while promoting other radical ideas as we know. Okay, so the White Lives Matter thing
with our very own Candace Owens has been a big topic of conversation
and people are very upset, as you can imagine.
We don't have to go through the whole rundown.
In fact, I just saw, I mean, there's so many examples of this.
We could read them all, but I just saw someone posted.
It was a fashion designer.
I don't know which one, not that I can name any fashion designers
who said that this was a traumatic, it was a traumatic moment in all of our lives
for Candace Owens and Kanye West to wear a shirt that says white lives matter.
And lots of stuff like that.
It's dangerous.
It's traumatic.
Jamil Hill, Hill tweeted,
so many folks are trying to excuse Kanye
wearing a White Lives Matter t-shirt
as just a troll mover marketing.
Maybe it is,
but it's a dangerously dumb message to send
for someone with his massive platform.
I've been off, dude.
I've been off, dude.
I've been off.
Is it supposed to be a comment there?
I've been off, dude.
I've been off, dude.
Oh, I've been.
Okay.
So she has been off, she's been off this guy.
It's like she doesn't like him.
Is that what it means?
Okay.
But y'all go ahead labeling his foolishness as genius.
And then I responded to that.
I said, yes, it's so incredibly dangerous to say that a white man,
what white person's life matters.
We know that you would never make such a claim, Jamil.
You despise white people, which is why you're morally superior.
Thank you for enlightening us once again.
A little bit of sarcasm there, I admit.
But she responded.
I want you to pay attention to this response.
Okay.
Now, remember, she originally said that it's, it's,
not only dumb, but dangerous.
It's dangerous to say that white lives matter.
She responded to me.
She says, you truly don't have the range for this.
The reason we don't have to say white lives matters because white lives have never not mattered.
The default position in this country is white equals worthiness.
The same has never been true for black people.
You're welcome.
Now, I want you to notice what she did there because this is always what happens, right?
This is always what happens.
She retreats from her claim without admitting that.
That's what she's doing.
Because she does it in a very defiant kind of way and acts like she's, you know, like she's dropping the mic.
But she actually retreated completely from her claim because she originally said it's dangerous to claim that white lives matter.
And then in response to me, she says it's just it's not necessary.
It's redundant because white lives matter and everyone knows it.
So you don't need to say that.
Well, those are two different things.
Okay.
it's a redundant unnecessary message is not the same as a dangerous message. In fact, a redundant
unnecessary message cannot be dangerous. It's redundant. It's unnecessary. How can it be dangerous and also
redundant and unnecessary? What she's climbing in her follow-up is that, well, everyone knows
that white lives matter. It's so inherently understood that it's, we don't even need to say it.
Well, if we all have this on an inherent understanding and everyone knows it, then how
can it be dangerous to just say it out loud? The worst it could be is redundant and unnecessary.
No, it can only be dangerous. There's only one way, only one way, that a message can be dangerous.
And there can be dangerous messages. Here's a dangerous message to say to a boy,
you could be a girl. That's a dangerous message, very dangerous. So I'm not here saying that
words can never be dangerous. They can. You say that to a child. Those are words that's very dangerous.
but the only way a message can be dangerous is if it's not true.
If the message, the statement, the declaration is true, it can't be dangerous.
So if you are saying that it's dangerous, you are saying that it's not true,
which means that you are saying that you don't agree that white lives matter,
which is what she really means.
So what she said the first time is what she means.
It's what they all mean.
anyone out there saying white lives matter is dangerous.
What they all really mean is that they don't agree with it.
They don't think that white lives matter.
At least they don't matter as much as black lives do.
And so it's dangerous to say it.
Because in their mind, there's a racial hierarchy in our society that they've worked very hard to build.
And when you go around, especially as a black man and a black woman saying white lives matter,
well, that throws the whole hierarchy out of balance.
makes everything out of whack in Caitlin Jenner's words.
So that's their actual problem.
And this is all, you know, just leading aside the fact that what she's, what, the claim that
white lives have never not mattered in this country is, of course, not true.
In fact, the very fact that it's considered dangerous to say white lives matter means that
white lives are not valued as much as other lives in this culture. I mean, can you think of any
example? Just, you know, again, we're talking about history today, historical precedence.
Just think of other, and there are other examples you can think of through history, where it was
considered controversial to say that a certain group of people had dignity or that their lives
mattered, to speak up in defense of the, you know, the inherent human dignity of a certain
group of people. Think of any time when that's been considered controversial. Is it ever been
because everyone knows that that group of people that they're great and everything's fine? Or is it
because there is a considered effort to dehumanize that particular group of people? And then,
of course, we should also note that of all the things that are rappers say, you know, of course,
this is what they're upset about. White lives matter. Of all the things that a rapper could say,
and many rappers do say.
Kanye West, not as much, but other rappers.
And this is what they're getting upset about.
So, of course, you know, they can go out there openly advocating to kids
that they use drugs, kill people, abuse women.
That's not a dangerous message.
But to say white lives matter, well, that's dangerous.
All right, this is, as you know, we're on this,
we're just now embarking on our screening tour for what is the one?
and we're going to be going to colleges all across the country.
And we're starting, we're here, we're in D.C. right now.
We're speaking at Catholic University.
We have an update on that, not just speaking, but screening the movie, and then we're doing a Q&A.
We have an update on Catholic University, but first, where we're going next is the University of Illinois.
And so YAF tweeted this yesterday.
It says, leftists have a battle plan in place, what they call battle plan, quote unquote,
to try and prevent Matt Walsh's What is a Woman tour at UIUC.
this Thursday. They're asking volunteers to be mischief makers and plan to assemble a massive trans
pride flag in the audience. So this is what, and then we'll put it up on the screen, you can see,
this is what they're sending around, the activists. I think they originally, yeah, they originally
posted this on Reddit. And it says, remind him, talking about me, that Earth have no space for
transphobic b-h. What was that? Remind him that Earth have no space.
Remind him that Earth have no space for transphobic .
You don't have to be trans non-binary to join because you two are a human being.
You are very unlikely to get into trouble.
You can participate anonymously.
So what are they planning to do?
They're going to cause some mischief during my Q&A.
This is in a couple days.
Uh-oh.
I'm walking into some mischief.
I'm getting a little nervous about this.
You know, there's nothing I hate more than mischief.
So what is it?
We go, now, here's what they're doing.
They have it all drawn out.
out here. I have to say that this drawing is, I mean, my nine-year-old daughter literally draws better
pictures than this. We should have hired her. They should have asked her to help. So battle plan.
The plan is, assemble a massive trans pride flag in the audience. That's the whole plan. So I guess
they want to, like, by wearing certain colored shirts, they want to make a trans pride flag.
And then I guess I'm going to come out and see the trans pride flag and burst into tears and run off the state.
I think that's what they're hoping will happen.
We'll see.
We'll see if it happens.
Anyway, if you're interested in participating in this, I want to tell you what their plan is.
So stage one, there's a sign up form and a, so you can go to a certain website, you sign up to be a mischief maker.
Because that's the thing about mischief makers.
They always have sign up forms.
You have to sign up to do mischief.
Stage two, be a mischief maker.
show up at 7 p.m.
Put on provided shirt,
then return the shirt back to us.
Stage three, return the shirts.
And it mentions again, return the shirts.
So they're very, this is the funniest thing about this to me,
is that they're very clear they want the shirts back.
They need their shirts back.
That's the most important thing.
That's like stage three, four, and five is make sure you give the damn shirts back.
Okay, so that's what they're planning to do.
And there is an update that was just emailed to me and so.
I'm looking at it right now on the spot here.
And we're being told that they canceled.
The counter protest is canceled at Illinois.
Okay, so this is all a big waste of time.
Apparently, this is what they sent out.
This is what the activist sent out.
Dear mischief makers and accomplices,
this email is for announcing that Thursday's mischief has been officially canceled.
Please do not bring T-shirts on Tuesday or show up on Thursday night.
The reason behind the prompt cancellation has to do with a serious logistic issue,
and be safety of participants.
How can you have logistic issues
when all you're planning to do
is sit in the audience
with blue and pink shirts on?
You have logistic?
You can't figure that out logistically?
I am no logistical genius
by any means whatsoever,
but I can figure out how to it.
I'll help you.
Okay, you need my help?
I'll, we can figure out a way
to get everyone the shirts they need for this.
What are the logistics?
We collected more than 60 responses
to show up during the speech,
even though some responses
are just random responses, the number of participants is much higher than the t-shirts available,
which is less than 10 at the time of writing.
So they couldn't get enough t-shirts?
You wanted to make a trans pride flag in the audience and you only had 10 shirts?
How are you going to make a whole flag with 10 shirts?
And then also safety of participants.
Some responses in the sign-up form made us worry about the safety of the participants.
We fight and speak up, yet safety and mental well-being always come first.
So it sounds like my safety was actually being jeopardized.
So these are people on your side saying things that make you,
worried about safety? So isn't they, were they planning to hurt themselves during the speech?
Or were they saying things that they're planning to hurt me? And you don't want to get in trouble
for that. Well, I don't know. But anyway, so they had their big protest and they had to cancel
it because they couldn't find enough shirts. You had all this planning and you couldn't come up
with pink and blue shirts. You could just order a pack of them on Amazon. You could order a pack,
You can order a pack of them on Amazon for 20 bucks.
You get enough pink and blue shirts for everybody.
You'd have enough that I could wear one.
Oh, my God.
And then what's happening?
Let's see, there's also an update that this is all just sent to me right now.
I honestly have not read it.
And so there's an update on the Catholic University.
Am I about to find out right now that our event was canceled and I'm here for no reason?
So this email was sent out by the president of the university says, as the Catholic
University of America, we are often asked to defend or explain our actions.
in terms of how they stand up to what it means to be a Catholic.
As an example, last week I met with a group of students
who asked me to consider censoring or canceling a speaker,
invited by another group of students
whom they believe does not reflect the values we hold
as core to identity as a Catholic university.
Here we go.
The argument made an impression on me
because it came from a sincere desire
which I share to create on this campus
an inclusive and welcoming atmosphere for all students.
The speaker they asserted would make them feel unwelcome and even unsafe.
While I do not want any student to feel unwelcome or unsafe,
I couldn't agree to the request. All right. Well done, sir. And then he goes on explaining why
after consideration he's decided not to cancel the event. And but it's pretty long and he's,
you know, trying to reason with people and explain that, you know, it's, it's, we want to hear
other people's points of view. He doesn't, I don't think he mentions this, the real thing,
but, you know, I am Catholic myself and everything. And no, he does not say,
is I'm Catholic myself. Everything I say on the topic of gender and sex, all of that is
100% in keeping with Catholic teaching. 100%. It's also in keeping with reality and truth.
And so often all these things line up together, which is the great thing about being Catholic.
But anyway, you know, that's also something maybe a bit worth mentioning.
And I know, I guess I'm supposed to give Peter Kilpatrick credit for not canceling the event, which great.
But actually, I don't give you credit for that at all. I'm not going to thank you for that because that's expected.
Okay, to cancel a Catholic speaker on a Catholic campus who's talking about the reality of biological sex, that would just be unacceptable.
And so he is not doing the unacceptable thing, which is, okay, good.
All right, let's see.
One other thing that we got, well, this is important before we get to the comment section.
This is from NPR.
This is only going to interest me, so we're going to talk about it.
Months of suspicion erupted into full-throated fury at a professional fishing tournament in Ohio
where two anglers were allegedly caught with egg-shaped weights in their catch,
an edge of more than seven pounds that would have ensured a lucrative championship.
And there's a video, apparently, of people discovering this very dramatic video.
We're not going to play, but you can find it online, where they're doing the way in.
And then someone suspects that there's weights in the fish.
They cut the fish open, you know, there's unfortunate for the fish.
And so the fish get cut open, and they pull the weights out.
So they actually put lead weights in the fish so they could win when they get to the way in.
Now, as an avid angler myself, I have to say that I'm totally disgusted and disappointed that I never thought to
do this because that's actually pretty smart. It never even occurred to me that you could put
weights in the fish's mouth to pump up your stats a little bit. But it is bad. It's cheating.
It brings disgrace to those of us who enjoy sitting around for hours at a time, stabbing hooks
through fish's mouths for fun. It makes us even look a little bit weird, which is to me what I
am most angry about. Let's get to the comment section.
Do you know their name?
They're the sweet baby game.
Dalton says,
Dad and I went squirrel hunting Sunday morning
and I had a blast even for a first time
other than spending time outdoors with my father
and learning firearm safety.
I kept in the back of my head,
many of our leaders,
I kept thinking, I guess, in the back of my head,
many of our leaders would despise my family
for doing what we did,
simply because it had a semblance of toxic masculinity
and making our leaders even more upset
pleases me to no extent. Well, yeah, it's a fulfilling, even leaving aside the fact that you're
killing those innocent, precious squirrels, which actually, in all seriousness, I mean, if you're
going to go hunting, that's probably the best hunting you can do, because squirrels are a
menace. But even leaving that aside, the fact that you're spending quality time as a
family, learning some important life skills, yeah, that would upset the powers that be in our
culture. Burzum
the second says, I've already reached my quota for gay
content. I binged a Netflix series about an iconic LGBTQ figure
Dahmer, great acting, tight writing, and I suppose a good boost
for their representation. Yeah, that's been one controversy that
we cover a lot of the really dumb controversies on this show, and there are some
that even I can't bring myself to care about enough
to talk about.
And that's one of them.
But it is pretty funny.
I mean, I have to admit that.
So I guess Netflix has this, I don't know if it's a, I guess it's not a documentary.
It's like a true crime show, miniseries about Jeffrey Dahmer, the serial killer.
And I have an issue with it because I just don't, maybe there's a certain gene that I lack that other people have that makes them really fascinated by serial killers.
And there's this insatiable thirst that people have to consume serial killer content.
And I don't quite have it.
And I especially like a mini series about a serial killer, I don't need to see.
These people actually are not that interesting, right?
Serial killers are, they're sociopaths and they enjoy killing people.
I don't find it interesting.
Like I don't need to spend, the idea of spending five, six, seven, eight,
nine, 10 hours collectively, you know, watching a story like that, I don't quite get it myself.
But, you know, Netflix especially puts these things out all the time. People love it.
But not in this case because they represented, you know, Jeffrey Dahmer's is a homosexual.
And they, I guess that comes out in the show that he was a homosexual.
And apparently Netflix even labeled it at one point.
They labeled the Jeffrey Dahmer serial killer show as LGBT.
content. They had that label. It was under the LGBT category, which is almost funnier than my book,
Johnny the Walrus, being labeled an LGBT book. Almost funnier, but not quite. And of course,
the left got very upset about this. They said, we don't want that. This is not LGBT. Well, he was gay,
you know, so you want representation. No, we don't want that representation. So you want,
you want representation of only the good guys. So you want, that's what you want. Well, that's not
how it works. As the straight people, we have good guys, we've got bad guys, we've got them all. And so if you
want, there's a two sides to the coin. And if you want representation and film, then you got to take
both sides of it. And that means you've got to start claiming some of these serial killers, too.
You've got to start taking some of them off our hands.
The Dirty Bubble says, I am very, the dirty bubble. I'm very happy to hear the movie
bros has been a commercial failure. YouTube was pushing this film heavily in their advertisements
for a few weeks and championing its critic rating as if it's worth a damn. That's one of my
favorite things about this story also is just the whole thing is great. The whole thing is great.
The fact that the movie flopped so spectacularly, and I really can't. We talked about it yesterday,
but I cannot emphasize enough just how much of a failure this film actually was to make less than
$5 million in an opening weekend. They made half a million on opening night, okay? 500,000. Less than
5 million over a whole opening weekend, when you've got all that marketing push behind it and
the media's behind it is just a catastrophic failure and it's hilarious. So I love that.
I love the fact that Billy Eichner, the star of the film, is just watching him. If you don't
have a Twitter account, get a Twitter account this week because the best thing happening on
social media this week and probably for this decade is Billy Eichner trying to cope with the
fact that nobody wanted to see his gay sex film.
He cannot cope with it.
He can't deal with it.
And he's just lashing out.
And it gets more unhinged by the day.
It's great.
And also, when you see how the critics especially are flabbergasted by this, because they keep saying, well, we said it's good.
We told you guys, the movie's good.
We told you to go watch it.
You didn't watch it.
So the media can't understand.
It doesn't compute.
If you go to Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a 300% fresh rating of Rotten Tomatoes.
It's the best thing they've ever seen, right?
And yet no one cares.
No one in the movie-going audience cares with the critics say.
And so they're trying to cope with that.
There's a lot of cope going on, and it's just great.
Do you want to win a McLaren or $250,000 in cash?
I'm talking to all the dads right now.
As a father, we all want what's best for our children and their education.
I would never want my kid Owen McClaren.
Where is this going?
Well, I wouldn't want them have $250,000 either.
That's why we sometimes begrudgingly, but still enthusiastically, participate in school fundraisers,
from buying magazines to baking cookies to paying a bunch of kids to half wash our vehicles or the team car wash.
Well, what if you could spearhead the biggest fundraiser in your school, a community's history,
with less effort than a walk-a-thon?
Oh, okay, all right, I do agree with this.
By now, you've likely heard of Jeremy's Razors, the contest for the car,
where you might become the winner of Jeremy's McLaren.
Now, short, you could add a 592 horsepower supercar to your school's bus fleet, or you could opt for the $250,000 cash prize instead.
You and all the other dads and moms could do a lot of good for your kids with that money just by referring a few non-woke raisers.
Imagine, a quarter million dollars to resurface the gym, build a computer room, put up some Friday night lights.
Right now, most of the top players in the contest still haven't hit the 10 referrals mark, so the field is wide open for you to win it all.
I'll go to the principal's office, get him or her involved, and head to jeremy's raisers.com
slash play to get your referral link and get in the game.
Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
Today for our daily cancellation, we turn to The Guardian, which published an article on Saturday
with this title and subheading, how gay parenthood through surrogacy became a battleground.
In New York, a gay couple fighting to make their insurers pay for fertility treatment
have found themselves in the middle of a culture war.
What happens when the right to parenthood involves someone else's body?
Well, I can answer that question.
What happens, or what should happen anyway, is that you realize that nobody has a right to parenthood in the first place.
The very notion of a right to parenthood is not only bizarre and unintelligible, but also ripe with all sorts of very dark implications.
But something tells me that that's not the answer to the question that we're going to get from this piece.
So let's read on.
It says, Corey Brisket and Nicholas Magiipinto met in law school in 22.
2011, were engaged by 2014 and had their 2016 wedding announced in the New York Times.
They moved to a waterfront apartment block in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with a bright playroom for families on the ground floor.
Quote, we got married and then we wanted all the trappings, house, children, 401k, etc.
Magiipinto 37 tells me in their building shared meeting room, tapping the table in sequence with the progression of each idea.
Briskin 33 grew up assuming he'd have children. He came out in college.
Quote, once I had come out to myself and others, I don't think my expectation of what my life would look like changed all that much.
With marriage equality one years ago, they expected to be able to have a conventional married life.
Yes, the laws changed, which led these two men to assume that they would be able to have a biological child.
A change in the law was supposed to also result in a change to fundamental human biology, apparently.
That's what they expected, and it didn't turn out that way, tragically, for them.
reading again says six months before their wedding, a targeted ad from an organization called
Gay Parents to Be landed in Magi Pinto's Instagram feed, offering free consultations with a fertility
doctor who'd give them the whole rundown on how they could start a family.
Quote, we had the same appointment and we were 100% on the same page.
Let's move forward with this at Magi Pinto.
That's when they first became aware of the eye-watering cost of biological parenthood for gay men.
Magi Pinto reels off the price list in a way that only someone who's poured over,
every item could. There's compensation for the egg donor, no less than $8,000,000,
the egg donor agency fee, $8,000 and $10,000, the fertility clinics bill, including genetic testing,
blood tests, STD screening, and a psychiatric evaluation for all parties, sperm testing,
egg extraction, insemination, the growing, selecting, freezing, and implementation of the resulting
embryos, up to $70,000, and that's if it all goes well. If no embryos are created during
a cycle, or if the embryos that are don't lead to a successful pregnancy, they would have to start again.
Okay, I feel like I must interject here to correct the record.
These are not the cost of biological parenthood for gay men,
as though they're some sort of special upcharge based on your sexual orientation.
These are the costs of trying to usurp and evade nature during the child conception process.
For two men, the costs are even steeper because they not only must conceive a child in a petrious,
but they also must rent a woman's womb, literally purchasing her body,
to be used as property.
And along with being a morally horrific practice,
it's also very expensive.
So the expense is the only thing that mattered
to these two narcissists.
They don't appear to have stopped
to consider the ethical implications at all.
It continues,
then there's the cost of a surrogate,
called a gestational carrier
when they carry embryos
created for another woman's eggs.
Magiipinto and Briskin
were told agency fees alone
could stretch to $25,000
and the surrogates themselves
could be paid a minimum of $60,000.
It takes 15 minutes for Magiapinto to run me through all the expenses.
They could incur if they tried to have a child genetically related to one of them.
The bottom line, $200,000 minimum, he says, tapping his index finger on the table with each word and disbelief.
They couldn't afford it.
Maggipinto earns a corporate lawyer's salary but is saddled with student debt.
Briskin used to work for the city of New York as an assistant district attorney earning about $75,000 a year.
Okay.
Yes.
Who could find a more oppressed victim group than two gay lawyers in New York?
Well, I mean, literally anyone could find a more oppressed victim group.
I cannot think of a group less oppressed than gay lawyers in New York.
But don't worry.
They are working to rectify this injustice.
They're suing the city of New York so that their IDF and surrogacy will be covered under the city's health insurance plan.
In other words, they want to create a baby and purchase a warrant.
woman's womb, and they want the taxpayers to fund it. As one of them says in a line quoted in the
headline of the article, they can't be expected to be okay with not having children. Even though they are
two men, and they literally cannot have children together, not by my decree or by the law, but by the
decree of nature, they still shouldn't be expected to be okay with it, they say. It's the duty of the
taxpayer or the insurance companies to subsidize whatever.
elaborate, morally problematic work around they can devise. That's their position. And it's completely
absurd, of course. Now, commercial surrogacy to begin with is a barbarous practice, which is why it's
illegal in many countries across the Western world, except in the United States, of course.
That's one thing I think people don't often realize or appreciate, is that so often our laws
are far more leftist and liberal than Europe. I mean, we tend to think of Europe as the kind of farther
along on the left-wing crazy train. And maybe in some ways, culturally, they are. But when it comes to
laws, abortion laws, another one, their laws are much more conservative than ours. So in many
countries, for-profit commercial surrogacy is illegal. And even not-for-profit surrogacy,
what they call, quote, altruistic surrogacy is also banned in many countries, including
Germany, Portugal, Italy, Spain. Why? Well, because surrogacy is a moral crime,
against both women and children.
The woman is rented.
Her actual body, her reproductive capacity,
is put under contract.
It's purchased for temporary use, like an Airbnb.
It is dehumanizing,
even if the woman is paid for it.
In fact, especially if she's paid for it,
it's dehumanizing.
And in most cases, such as would be the case
with the two oppressed gay New York lawyers,
a second woman's body is also auctioned off
as she has to provide the eggs to conceive the child.
who's then, and then that's implanted into the rented womb of another.
The two men who wish to have biological children have almost nothing to do with the process
except to provide the sperm for the petri dish.
And it should be noted that only one man provides the sperm so that even after all this effort,
still the male couple will not have a biological child.
So this whole thing is about gay couples who want to have biological children.
They still can't. They can't.
one member of the couple will have a biological child, while some other woman who neither of them know
and who the child will never know is the other person who creates the child.
And that brings us to the child who you may have noticed never factors into the calculation
at all. The two dudes talk about me, I, we, us, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, but they never at any
point mention the well-being of the child who they're trying to conceive. The child who will
forever be deprived of knowing his mother. He will never know the woman who gave him life. He will
never know the woman who harbored him in her womb and birthed him. He will only know the men who bought
him. The men who they believe have a right to him. And that's exactly why there is no right to
parenthood and never can be. What kind of confused world do we live in when society does not recognize
a parent's right to raise their own children that they actually conceived, but it does recognize a gay
couple's right to conceive children in the first place? Such a right cannot exist. Rights, okay,
if they mean anything, human rights must be natural, ingrained in our human nature. You cannot
have a right over and above and against nature. You cannot make a rights claim against nature.
So two men claiming that they have a right to conceive, it's like two men claiming they have a right
to breathe underwater like a fish. And with technological assistance, you can breathe underwater,
not exactly like a fish, but you can get by underwater for a time, a pale limitation,
but it may be enough to get the job done.
Yet it doesn't make any sense to say that you have a right to do it.
Our rights are not a list of all the things that we can physically do with or without technology.
The main reason you can't have a right to parenthood is that parenthood requires the participation of other people.
And in the case of two gay men, it requires.
a whole army of other people, a whole battalion, doctors and scientists and multiple women
willing to sell parts of their bodies and agencies and everything else. To say they have a right
to parenthood is to say that all of these other people are obliged to provide them with their
parenthood opportunity. It is to, in a sense, morally conscript these other parties to give you
what nature would not. Your right becomes an obligation for others. Your right becomes an obligation for others.
your right, in other words, becomes the removal of rights for others. Imagine if a gay couple
couldn't find a woman willing to rent out her womb or sell her eggs. If the couple has a right
to parenthood, then it must be said that these women are infringing on the couple's right
by not providing their bodies for usage. These two men are literally declaring that they have a right
to a woman's body. Because that's what it means. As a gay man, if you're saying you have a right to
biological parenthood, you are saying you have a right to a woman's body.
Which is exactly the sort of thing that the left is always screaming about, only in this case it's
actually happening, and the people who scream about it are silent, or else cheering it along,
which is hypocrisy in the extreme, par for the course. But we still must say that Corey Briskin,
Nicholas Magi Pinto, the oppressed gay lawyers from New York, only to add to their oppression
today are canceled. And that will do it for us. Today we move over to the members block. I hope to see you there.
If not, talk to you tomorrow or I'll see you at Catholic University tonight. Godspeed.
