Starting point is 00:00:00 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Chuck Schumer says that American birth rates are too low, and the only solution is to import workers from the third world to replace declining populations. That sounds an awful lot like a certain theory we aren't supposed to talk about. Also, 12 Republican senators officially get on board with the federal government codifying same-sex marriage. What use are Republicans if this is what they're going to do for us? And a church in Canada comes up with a prayer to bless and encourage assisted suicide. And San Francisco now has a guaranteed income program for trans people. I looked at the application forum for this program, and it's even crazier than you might think.
Starting point is 00:00:33 All of that, and more today on the Matt Wall Show. Rovi Wade has been overturned, and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the grassroots. No group in America has better positioned than 40 Days for Life with a million volunteers in a thousand cities. 40 days for life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities. They have a larger presence in blue states, with California being their largest state. Some former abortion facility directors say these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which needless to say is detrimental to their abortion business. These law-abiding vigils have closed many abortion businesses in America.
Starting point is 00:01:15 Nearly half of those closed abortion facilities were in liberal cities where abortion will remain legal, including closures in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle. Forty Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots to end abortion. You can check out their locations, podcasts, and their free magazine at 40 DaysforLife.com. And remember, this fight is not over, especially after what happened in the midterms. it's more important than ever to stay engaged in the fighting. If you want more information about it, you can go to 40 Days for Life at 40 Days for Life.com. So we hit a major milestone this week, and by we, I mean everyone in the whole world.
Starting point is 00:01:48 Congratulations. The global population officially crossed the 8 billion mark. So there are now 8 billion people on the planet. It took humanity until the 1800s to hit 1 billion, but only 200 more years to multiply that number by 8. This, of course, has led to, as you might expect, lots of frantic. and feeble hand-wringing about the mythical threat of overpopulation, quote-unquote. There are too many people on the planet, they cry. The whole planet is about to tip over on its access and will all slide off like dishes on an
Starting point is 00:02:18 overturned table. Infamously, there was once an elected Democrat who expressed a concern not far from that. Slightly less delusional, though still plenty delusional, is the fear that we will run out of resources or habitable land for people to live on. I mean, none of these scenarios are realistic. there is more than enough land, more than enough resources to feed and house numbers even greater than 8 billion. If the land or resources are misallocated or not properly utilized or if people choose to huddle together in massive, smelly, urban bundles, that's a different problem entirely that cannot be blamed on sheer numbers and also cannot be solved by reducing the numbers.
Starting point is 00:02:57 In fact, it's not just that overpopulation is a myth, one invented and propagated by nihilists and eugenesis and Bill Gaines. but I repeat myself, it's that the actual crisis we face as a globe, as a world, as a planet. The real apocalyptic cataclysm on the horizon is quite the opposite of overpopulation. Our problem is not that there are too many babies being born, but that there are too few being born. The world's population is getting older. The average age of a human on Earth is a decade older now than it was in even the 1970s. Now, sure, that's partly a product of modern medicine, which is good, people are living longer. But it's also a problem. product of an aging population that isn't having enough babies. And when the median age gets high
Starting point is 00:03:40 enough, society becomes top-heavy with more elderly people than there are younger people to care for them. This is a problem that developed countries like Japan are already dealing with. Many others will soon join them. The whole world is trending in that direction. For all the talk about overpopulation, the population is actually projected to start declining by the 2060s, as global fertility rate dip below replacement level. Understand this. Global populations have never declined due to declining fertility. We've never seen a decline in the global population because of fertility or lack thereof.
Starting point is 00:04:19 The last decline was during the Black Plague 700 years ago, and that was because of a pandemic that wiped out a quarter of human life on the planet. A decline due to people simply not having babies is an entirely different matter, and it's never happened before through the whole history of the human race. and it's not a good sign. Older, slower, top-heavy populations cannot thrive, and after a while, they cannot survive. They can't sustain themselves. Human civilization is right now essentially giving up on itself, throwing in the towel.
Starting point is 00:04:53 And this, again, is not a positive development. In the U.S., we're ahead of the population decline curve. We fell below replacement level of fertility a couple of years ago. and actually farther ago than that, and we've been notching record low birth rates every year since, or almost. I mean, birth rates hit another record low in 2020, falling 4% below the previous year.
Starting point is 00:05:16 However, in 2021, there was a slight uptick of 1%, which is still 3% below 2019. It was the first increase in the birth rate since 2014, but that was likely only a function of the fact that the year before that was so low. Overall, the U.S. has been below replacement-level, actually, for the most part, and there have been, you know, there are peaks and valleys and everything, but for the most part, it's been below replacement since really the early 1970s. And even with the occasional blip on the radar screen, a spike here and there, we are trending
Starting point is 00:05:45 in the wrong direction and fast. Senator Chuck Schumer, of all people, has noticed this problem, and he made note of it yesterday to reporters when he was giving a press conference, given that Democrats despise the human species, and especially those members of the species, who are residents of their same country, those are the humans that Democrats hate the most, we don't usually hear them lamenting declining birth rates. In fact, they are engineering the decline. So what has awakened Schumer to this issue? Why does he care about all of a sudden? Well, that becomes obvious pretty quickly when you hear what he had to say and why. Here it is. Now more than ever, we're short of workers. We have a population that is not reproducing.
Starting point is 00:06:32 it on its own with the same level that it used to. The only way we're going to have a great future in America is if we welcome and embrace immigrants, the dreamers, and all of them, because our ultimate goal is to help the dreamers but get a path to citizenship for all 11 million or however many undocumented. There are here. Ah, so there you go. That explains it. The American population is declining.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We are short of workers. The senator is concerned, of course, that there won't be enough. people available to mow his lawn and clean his pool and dust his fireplace mantles. And his solution is to import a peasant class, to import them, rather than attempt to raise them organically the old-fashioned way. He seeks to replace the American population with illegal immigrants. He wants to replace them, replace us. He wants to replace them on a very large scale. Replace them on a large scale. Even you might say, you know, a large and other synonym would be great. He wants to replace the declining American population on a great scale. Replace great,
Starting point is 00:07:41 replace on a great scale. So a great replacement, you might say. That thing that we're not allowed to notice or mention, that's the thing that Chuck Schumer is explicitly advocating for. And by the way, not for nothing, I should also say 11 million. We keep hearing 11 million. There are 11 million illegals or undocumented immigrants as they put it. They've been telling us about the 11 million undocumented immigrants since I was in high school. That number now is much higher than 11 million. We don't know exactly what it is, but probably closer to 50 million or higher. In any case, there are, of course, other ways to reverse the trend of population decline. And the most simple strategy, and frankly, the most enjoyable, is for us American citizens
Starting point is 00:08:26 to get down to business and have babies, lots of babies. Not to brag, but I am already pulling more than my fair share of the weight in this arena, now that I have six kids and my wife and I have, in our family at least, tripled the replacement rate. And if you really want to encourage more people to have babies, and if you want those babies to have the greatest chance of success in life, that entails more people getting married and getting married younger. so we could create a society that encourages marriage
Starting point is 00:09:00 and incentivizes people to start families and to have children. But that is not what we have done. Thanks to Chuck Schumer and his ilk, we've gone exactly the opposite direction. To start with, we kill our babies in the womb. 60 million babies have been killed in the past 50 years or so. That means we've erased not just 60 million human beings. I mean, we've erased 60 million to begin with. But actually we've erased hundreds of millions of potential humans.
Starting point is 00:09:30 A large portion of those babies, after all, would have grown up and had kids of their own. And soon the kids of those kids would start having kids. Entire family trees have been uprooted and tossed into the incinerator. The loss of human potential is absolutely staggering. And yet Schumer and his party support, fund, and facilitate all of this, even as he laments or pretends to lament the declining populations. Not only that, but Schumer and his party have attacked the nuclear family. They've encouraged sexual perversion and sexual dysfunction. They have invented a human right to subsidized birth control.
Starting point is 00:10:06 I mean, they want to give up birth control in middle schools now. They've created an economy that forces millions of women out of the home and into the workplace. Now they're even castrating and sterilizing people, including children, in the name of gender ideology. This is all part of a deliberate plan. There's no escaping that conclusion. And that's to say nothing of the drug epidemic, killing millions of Americans by, or killing Americans by the thousands every single year, violent crime, which is doing exactly the same. They are obviously aware that their policies are wreaking havoc on the birth rate while eliminating en masse, those who have managed to be born. they're aware that this creates a crisis situation for the country.
Starting point is 00:10:53 And here they are at the ready with the solution, which is to import Democrat voters from the third world. Send in the replacements. I mean, they're right. The great replacement theory is outrageous. It's outrageous to talk about the great replacement theory. And that's because there is no theory here. It's just a fact.

Daily Wire reports a bill that would codify same-sex marriage protections into law passed a procedural vote with the support of 12 Republican senators on Wednesday despite concerns that it would infringe on religious freedoms. The Respect for Marriage Act would, ironically named, would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act, which is the 1996 law that legally defined marriages between one man and one woman,
Starting point is 00:13:26 and permitted states to not recognize same-sex marriage from other states. The RMA would make it so that any person acting under color of state law must fully recognize a marriage between two people in another state. It also makes it so that the federal government must recognize marriages if they were valid in the state where the marriage took place. the procedural vote passed 62 to 37. The Republican senators who voted to advance the bill were Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Shelley Morcapedo, Susan Collins, no surprise there, Todd Young, Joni Ernst, also no surprise. Cynthia Loomis, Lisa Murkowski, another no surprise.
Starting point is 00:14:05 Rob Portman, same. Mitt Romney, same. Dan Sullivan and Tom Tillis. Those are the senators who jumped on board with the federal government redefined. finding marriage. Greg Baylor, the senior council with Alliance Defending Freedom, told the daily wire, quote, that the original version of the bill created serious threats to religious liberty. The changes to the bill did virtually nothing to address those threats. The amendments to the bill that purport to protect religious liberty are mere window dressing. Okay. Let's review just a few things here. First of all, the bill is to begin with completely
Starting point is 00:14:42 unnecessary. At least if it really has the goal as stated, which is to protect same-sex marriage, completely unnecessary. Even if you're an advocate of same-sex marriage, you must see that it is unnecessary. Because the Supreme Court is not going to overturn Obergafel. It's not going to happen. There aren't the votes to overturn it. They don't even have the votes to take a case up. And there aren't any cases to take up on the subject. A case could only make it to the Supreme Court if some state somewhere challenges the decision by trying to ban same-sex marriage. None of that is happening or would happen. Simple as that. So my point is even from the perspective of an advocate of same-sex marriage, which obviously I am not one, but from your perspective, it's still
Starting point is 00:15:35 the case that this is like at least unnecessary. And I am, uh, I am on principle opposed to all unnecessary laws. I don't like the idea of politicians taking time up, wasting taxpayer money to pass laws that are unnecessary. And one of the reasons for that is that, like, if a law, if the stated reason for a law doesn't make any sense, we're protecting same-sex marriage or the Supreme Court doesn't, that doesn't make any sense because that's not happening. Well, that will cause you to suspect that there's something else going on here. So what's the real point then? Why are they doing this?
Starting point is 00:16:24 Well, one is just sort of the principle of it, to codify same-sex marriage on the federal level, to do it simply because they can, to use the bully pulpit of the federal government to send the message that anyone who opposes same-sex marriage is a bigot, et cetera. That's part of the point, and that's enough reason to oppose it. but the other point is to, yes, attack religious liberty. Listen to the language in the bill that supposedly protects religious liberty, and this is what allegedly convinced Mitt Romney and others to jump on board with it. Here's what the bill actually says.
Starting point is 00:16:57 I'm going to read the language of the bill. It says, consistent with the First Amendment to the Constitution, non-profit religious organizations, including churches, mosques, synagogues, temples, non-denominational ministries, interdenominational, and ecumenical organizations, organizations, faith-based social agencies, religious educational institutions, non-profit entities whose principal purpose is the study, practice, or advancement of religion, and any employees of such an organization shall not be required to provide services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges for the solemnization or celebration of a marriage.
Starting point is 00:17:30 Any refusal under this subsection to provide such services, accommodations, advantages, facilities, goods, or privileges shall not create any civil claim or cause of action. So that's what it says. and this is supposed to be the thing that protects religious liberty, even though we already have the First Amendment, which protects religious liberty. And even though this bill also codifies same-sex marriage on the federal level. But look at who they're mentioning here. They mention a bunch of people, and they say that, okay, these faith-based organizations,
Starting point is 00:18:06 and then they list a bunch of things that count as faith-based organizations. which also means, by the way, that the government is claiming the responsibility and the power to decide what counts the faith-based organization. But it says if you're a faith-based organization, you won't be required to provide services, facilities, et cetera, for the solonization or celebration of a marriage. Again, however, they define solonization or celebration of marriage. But do you know who this wouldn't help? I mean, it wouldn't help the people who have actually been under attack, whose religious liberties have actually been threatened by the LGBT mob coming after them on this subject. Somebody like Jack Phillips, for example, the baker in Colorado.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Now, he runs a bakery. That's not a faith-based organization, at least not according to the law. So it's just a private business. but he's a Christian and he has the right according to the First Amendment to run his business according to his beliefs, to practice his religion,
Starting point is 00:19:18 even in the context of his business. But this part of the law here, this language specifically excludes people like him, which is a big signal to the left and to the LGBT activists that you can keep going after the Jack Phillips's of the world. because you only have religious liberty, according to this law, you only have religious liberty
Starting point is 00:19:45 and you only have the rights to not participate in or approve of a same-sex marriage if you are directly affiliated with a faith-based organization. Religious liberty, that's something that belongs in the churches, they're saying, it doesn't belong in your bakery, but that's not what religious liberty means. It's not religious liberty if you can only practice it when you're inside the walls of a church. because that's not the only time when you have your faith or you have your religion. At least it shouldn't be. If Christians are not able to live by their faith and practice it in every context, then they don't have religious liberty.
Starting point is 00:20:29 It doesn't exist. You can practice your religious liberty inside the walls of this building. That's just another way of saying you don't have religious liberty. It's like the farce of a college campus having a free speech zone. Yeah, you have free speech, but we're going to draw a circle in chalk. on the ground here and you've got to be inside that circle. Then you have all the free speech you want. Well, it's limited to being inside the circle, which means that it's not free. And that's obviously the case here. And there's another point, too, that what they're trying to do here, although this is an
Starting point is 00:21:04 assault on religious liberty, the other goal is to send the message that you could only ever oppose same-sex marriage or have a problem with it if you are religious, which isn't true. that's just not true. This is part of the, what the conversation with Joe Rogan was about. That, you know, you, yes, it's, it is accurate that if you're a faithful Christian, for example, or a member of any of the Abrahamic faiths or many other religions,
Starting point is 00:21:38 you cannot be an advocate for same-sex marriage because your religion forbids it. But it's also true that you don't actually need to be in adherent to an Abrahamic religion. to see that same-sex marriage doesn't make any sense, to oppose it fundamentally. Because there is a logical definitional argument here, which is that, as I've tried to explain, the relationship between a man and a woman, that sort of relationship in principle is different from, it's different in kind, it's different in function from the relationship between a man and a man and a man and a woman and woman, because of the capacity that it has, because of the potential that it has, because of its procreative
Starting point is 00:22:20 capacity. And because it has that capacity, it is a different sort of thing and should be called something different and should be protected by society and given a pride of place and incentivized, especially if you want to reverse the population decline, incentivized in a way that none of these other relationships should be or need to be. There's no argument. There is no rational argument for legally recognizing the love that a same-sex couple has for each other. Why does that need to be legally recognized? Why do you need a piece of paper or a contract or anything that recognizes that on a legal level? It's easy to understand why you need those sorts of protections for man-woman relationships
Starting point is 00:23:09 because they are procreative. They create babies. They are the fountain from which the nuclear family springs, which lies at the foundation of human civilization. So that's why it's different. And although it may be true that religious people are more likely to see this reality, you don't actually need to be religious to see it. And the other thing, too, is that this is all being done on dishonest grounds. And you know that if you listen to the people who push this.
Starting point is 00:23:43 So here's Senator Tammy Baldwin on the floor of the Senate, making her pitch for this bill before it passed the procedural vote. And listen to what she says. Right now, millions of Americans, our family members, our neighbors, our congressional staff members, and certainly our constituents, are scared, scared that the rights they rely upon to protect their families could be taken away. And they are scared for good reason. The same legal arguments that the Supreme Court rested upon to reverse Roe v. Wade could just as easily be applied to reverse numerous other cases related to families, related to intimate relations, to contraception and marriage.
Starting point is 00:24:33 The Supreme Court should not be in a position to undermine the stability of families with a stroke of the pen. So now Congress must act. With the Respect for Marriage Act, we can ease the fear that millions of same-sex and interracial couples have that their freedoms and their rights could be stripped away. By passing this bill, we are guaranteeing same-sex and interracial couples, regardless of where they live, that their marriage is legal and that they will continue to enjoy the rights and responsibilities, that all other marriages are afforded. So you hear what she's, and of course we've heard this the whole time, but she mentions interracial couples probably, I don't know,
Starting point is 00:25:25 three or four times just in that clip alone. And every time she says same-sex couples, she makes sure to include same-sex couples and interracial couples. When there has just been no one who wants to abolish interracial marriages is that argumentism isn't being made by anyone. I mean, there also, again, is no actual political threat to same-sex marriage because no states are going to do that. The Supreme Court wouldn't do that.
Starting point is 00:25:55 And the Republican Party, unfortunately, does not have the wherewithal to make this argument at all. They refuse to make it. That's the case for same-sex marriages. Interracial couples, there's just no one's talking about that except on the left. because again, an interracial coupling does obviously does not at all challenge the fundamental definition of marriage. You know, a black man and a white woman in principle can create babies have procreative potential just like two members of the same race. And one of the point about that too, is that if anyone, I say that nobody is criticizing interracial couples and no one has a problem with that. it's actually not exactly true.
Starting point is 00:26:46 You could go online and see people complaining maybe about that, but they're almost always going to be on the left. It's on the left. It's the race hustlers on the left. It's the proponents of critical race theory and so on. If anyone is going to criticize in the year 2020, interracial couples, it's almost certainly going to be someone on the left approaching it from that perspective.
Starting point is 00:27:10 So the challenge to interracial couples, coupleings, if it exists at all, is coming from inside the House if you're on the Democratic side. All right. Daily Wire has this report, as Canada prepares to loosen laws related to medical assistance in dying, prayers published by the United Church of Canada designed to help sick and disabled people follow through with the lethal procedure are drawing criticism and shock. So this is a church, quote unquote, that has come up with prayers encouraging people to kill
Starting point is 00:27:43 themselves. All right. Although euthanasia has been available to many Canadians for the past six years, the nation's parliament considered amendments to the criminal code last year that would expand the availability of the practice, among other changes, a citizen possessing only a mental illness can now request euthanasia starting next spring, whereas the practice was originally limited to individuals with serious physical illnesses or disabilities. And we've been talking about this on this show, that in Canada, you know, euthanasia is threatening to become, it already is one of the leading causes of death in some provinces in Canada, as they are taking this, what they call the Maid Law, the Maid Act, Medical Assistance in Dying, and they are progressively
Starting point is 00:28:27 expanding it to include more and more types of people. So long gone are the days when the euthanasia conversation revolved only around people who are already on their deathbed, who are terminally ill, who are going to die anyway within the next few weeks. It's long gone of the days when that is what the euthanasia conversation is about. And even then, even when it was just focused on that population of people, I opposed it. And this is one of the reasons why I opposed it. Because everything is a slippery slope on the left. This, of course, is no exception.
Starting point is 00:29:05 if we are saying that suicide, you know, that killing someone can be a valid medical treatment, if that's what we're saying, then it's only a matter of time before that is applied far beyond terminally ill people. The whole logic behind euthanasia of a terminally ill is that they're suffering, they don't want to live anymore, there's no point in living when they're suffering so much. and so the best way to treat that suffering is just to kill them. Well, it's not that far of a jump at all. In fact, it's not even a jump. It's just a step to see how, well, if that's the true for terminally ill people, then, yeah, why not someone who's depressed?
Starting point is 00:29:52 Why not someone who's struggling with mental illness? They're suffering, too. As far as they can see it, there's no end of the suffering. Life is suffering. And so this is how we will treat the suffering. Anyway, back to the United Church of Canada. It's called The Prayer in the midst of fear, which is co-authored by United Church of Canada, Minister and the former co-president of Dying with Dignity and Advocacy Group, which supported the legalization of assisted suicide in Canada.
Starting point is 00:30:25 It can be described as an exercise in radical autonomy. The supplication centers upon asking God that family members would accept their loved one's decision to kill themselves with the aid of medical professionals. making no mention of eternal life secured through the death and resurrection Jesus Christ. The prayer attempts to embrace an uncertainty about death. So here's part of the prayer. Again, this was devised by the United Church of Canada. It says, I am afraid, I feel fear penetrating my mind and my heart. I feel fear in my gut.
Starting point is 00:30:56 I am afraid to die. I do not know what lies beyond the barrier of death. I am afraid to release myself to the great unknown. I am heartbroken and afraid to leave my family. I am still needed. I have let go of hope and healing. I hold on to hope for the next life. I'm afraid that my family and loved ones,
Starting point is 00:31:15 children and grandchildren will be troubled. When I tell them, I plan to die using medical aid and dying. But in the midst of my fear, I have hoped that my family and loved ones, children and grandchildren will understand the choice to end my suffering. I hope they will be proud of my decision and will understand that made
Starting point is 00:31:30 is consistent with the love and compassion of Jesus. And then I go, I can't even keep reading this. I mean, this is obviously not a Christian prayer. This is a demonic incantation. This is a, you know, this is a mockery of Christianity. This is Christianity turned on its head because Christianity is a, is hope. And is a religion, a faith of hope. And this is the abandonment of hope.
Starting point is 00:32:07 It says, I hope that my family will be proud, that they'll be proud that I killed. myself because I don't want to suffer anymore. This is what happens when you when you put we talk about the slippery slope when you put doctors in charge of killing people when you say to doctors that this is now a valid treatment that could be available to some people this is this is where it leads and it was entirely predictable. All right, Alexandria Kezo-Cortez has some thoughts about trans rights. Let's listen to that. is that the same folks who tell us and told us that COVID's just a flu, that climate change isn't real, that January 6th was nothing but a tourist visit,
Starting point is 00:32:59 are the same, are now trying to tell us that transgender people are not real. Much of that is correct. climate change is a is a is a a hoax well what we're told about climate change by the left much of that is a hoax that's correct um January 6th is a tourist visit well no it was a riot but it was closer to a tourist visit than it was to an insurrection that threatened to overturn you know the the government in the United States if everything's on a spectrum then it would be closer to the tourist end of the tourist expedition end of that spectrum than an insurrection that would have overturned the government. And trans people are not real. Well, this is,
Starting point is 00:33:52 this is what we keep hearing from the left. They're claiming that what we're saying is that trans people aren't real. It depends what you mean by that. We all agree that there are people in the country who identify themselves as trans. So those, Those people certainly exist. There are people who are walking around and saying, I am transgender. Yes, we all agree. That's not a figment of our imagination. We're not hallucinating it.
Starting point is 00:34:19 We all agree that's the case, that those people exist. However, the question is whether the claim that they're making about themselves is true. And then the second question is, related to the first, is it actually possible for a person to be transgender? Is that a valid, a legitimate, a coherent kind of human identity? What is transgender? Trans. It means beyond gender. You're beyond it.
Starting point is 00:34:52 You're something past it, beyond it. Is it possible to be that? The answer is no. No one is beyond it because we're human beings and there are two options, male and female. And nobody exists beyond that. So in that sense You know Trans
Starting point is 00:35:15 If that's the sense that you mean That in that sense Trans people don't exist in the sense that There are no people who actually exist Beyond the gender binary Because the gender binary is real And we all are Are in it on one side of it and the other
Starting point is 00:35:30 And yet the people who are confused about this Yes, they certainly do exist And if they didn't then we wouldn't be having this conversation Speaking of people who are confused Here's something that's been making the rounds on Reddit. This is posted by an account called Males of Reddit. And it's a screenshot of someone on the trans forum, the male to female trans forum on Reddit. And here's what they posted.
Starting point is 00:35:59 They said, I have successfully breastfed my child. This is a male again, by the way. My kiddo was born last week, and I was the first to breastfeed her. My partner and I gave her, they are recognizing the sex of their daughter, so that's something at least. You got to look for the glimmers of hope where you can find them, especially in a situation like this. My partner and I gave her 40 hours of continuous skin to skin after she was born, but after months of preparation and trying, I was able to breastfeed my own kiddo from my breast. It's a wild feeling that made me over the moon happy. She's a cutie.
Starting point is 00:36:39 And then there are screenshots of a bunch of comments saying that, you know, how wonderful all this is. Now, it should go without saying, but I feel that I must say it anyway. It is not possible for a man to breastfeed a child. Okay? That's not something that can actually be done. You cannot sustain a child that way. Now, what is possible and what has apparently happened in this case, is that if you're a man and you take a whole bunch of hormones and you drug yourself up this way,
Starting point is 00:37:14 that after a while you may start secreting some, there may be some secretions that come out of your nipples, which is disgusting, but that may actually happen. So these are going to be hormone, these are going to be these secretions hormone laced with artificial hormones that are now being ingested by the child. Could that possibly be remotely healthy for a newborn child to be ingesting that? Whatever that is, okay, and we're not going to call, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not, it's not a, it's not the mother's milk, it's certainly not that. Whatever you want to call that mucus, those secretions, is it healthy for a child to be ingesting it? Is there any reason to think that it would be?
Starting point is 00:38:04 Obviously not. But as always, it's not about the child. This is certainly extremely physically and healthy for the child, not to mention the psychological damage being done, even at such a young age. But that doesn't matter. It's not about the child. It's about this guy. This is a fetish for him. This is a desire that he has and that he has now forced a newborn child to participate in. I also wanted to play this clip for you. MSNBC. see, appears to be maybe turning on Ukraine, ever so slightly. I thought this was an interesting clip. Let's play this.
Starting point is 00:38:47 Such an important point. The reason, if this was, in fact, a Ukrainian defense missile that engaged in an accident, the reason they're firing those up is because Russia is attacking Ukraine deep in its own territory near the Polish border going after infrastructure and civilian targets. Just a couple of minutes ago, Richard, the Polish president, President Duda called this an unfortunate accident and not an intentional attack. This never made sense to you even yesterday that it was a Russian attack. No, as Admiral Stavridi said, if you're going to do an intentional attack if you're Russia,
Starting point is 00:39:18 and you're going to risk taking on NATO. And by the way, Russia can't defeat Ukraine. Why in the world would they take on NATO? It just makes zero, zero sense. So, yeah, it's just, there was no way this, I thought, could have been an intentional Russian attack. I think the polls look studied, measured, which is what you want to look here. NATO looks good. Ukraine looks a little bit too hot.
Starting point is 00:39:42 The idea that the Ukraine is saying this has to be a Russian. It almost looks as this. They wanted this to be something more. So I think that's unfortunate, and that won't help their credibility. So, look, I think the only other lesson I take from this is anytime you've got a hot war, stuff happens, to use Mr. Rumsfeld's comment. The danger of escalation is somehow implicit, the danger of accidents. And again, it's the reason you don't want to fly off the handle.
Starting point is 00:40:10 When stuff happens, just get the facts and make sure you're responding to something that was actual and, if possible, intentional. You don't want to have inadvertent escalation here. So there's a little bit of a lesson when something hot is going on. I said ever so slightly. That's probably turning on Ukraine is a, is a, is a, is a, is a, is a, is, is a lot of. an overstatement. But he does acknowledge that, yeah, Ukraine, they, it's almost like, he says they were too hot.
Starting point is 00:40:42 They were almost, it's almost like they wanted it to be a Russian attack. When the missile hit Poland and killed two people and Ukraine, we immediately heard from Ukraine and Zelenskyy, there's a Russian, Russians did it. It's almost like they wanted it to be the case. Yeah, you think so? It's not that they, they're the ones who launched the missile. So it's not that they wanted that. But they wanted us to think that. They're the ones who launched it. The only question about this is whether this was a false flag operation, that they launched it intentionally so that they could blame Russia and draw Western governments into a world war with Russia. Or if this was an accident and then Zelensky turned around with bad intel and because he wanted it to be a certain way and he just told the world that. I mean, again, either way, it's really bad for Zelensky.
Starting point is 00:41:32 in Ukraine. But, you know, when there's a, when there's a, suppose it, when someone makes a mistake that would work out really well for them, then I tend to think that's not a coincidence. So it seems pretty clear to me that this was intentional. They were trying to hoax us into a world war. And although we might be hearing from the media now, now they're saying, oh, yeah, I never thought it was. Of course, it wasn't Russia. That's not what they were saying on Tuesday when this news first came down. I mean, on Tuesday, every corporate media outlet was ready for World War, not even stopping to think about it. Why would Russia, why would they even do this? I guess if they're the comic book villains and so they're just launching missiles for no reason,
Starting point is 00:42:25 but in the real world, Russia in this conflict with Ukraine, why would they just randomly attack Poland? It never made any sense, but it's not just that Ukraine wanted it to be a certain thing, it's that the media wanted it to be that too. All right, let's get to the comment section.

Yeah, that was the girl that was insulting and attacking her own father at his funeral during the eulogy. Yeah, it's bad enough that they clap, but really somebody should
Starting point is 00:44:45 have walked up onto the stage during that and just escorted her off the stage. I think in many ways we need to become a more confrontational culture than we are, more confrontational. What we usually hear is it's the opposite. It's too confrontational, too divisive, and we all need to turn down the temperature quite a bit. That might be the case on the internet. So yeah, everyone is really confrontational on the internet, and if you say one thing that they don't like, they're going to tell you that they hope you die of cancer and all that kind of stuff. But in real life, it's really the opposite. Because people are hiding behind, and they're kind of venting all their frustrations behind the comfort of their keyboards. In real life, all of these people are a bunch of
Starting point is 00:45:29 fainting little flowers. And so you could see something like this happen and a bunch of people just standing by and watching it. Because although they might be eager to confront on the internet, most people don't want to confront in person. We could actually use a lot more of that. Cool Papa J Magic says, I would so love to hear Matt call this woman anti-white, which is what she is. The go-free lexicon is spreading, so it's just a matter of time. Whenever ever hesitated to call someone anti-white, if they're anti-white? Yeah, she's anti-white, obviously. I've talked about anti-white racism using that term many, many times. I always find it funny when I, you hear this from people in the audience.
Starting point is 00:46:15 Well, Matt never talks about this. It's like, I've talked about that all the time. I maybe haven't talked about it in the last, I don't know, 48 hours, but that's not the same thing as never talking about it. Owen says, I have a bad relationship with my father, but I have family members who do have a good relationship with him, and I respect that. There's no possible way that anyone could convince me to do what she did,
Starting point is 00:46:36 absolutely disgraceful. And that's a good point, too. It's not just about, you know, the funeral is not just about honoring the dead. It's also about the living. That's, you know, people will say the funeral's only for the living. I disagree with that. I think it also is about the dead. It's about honoring the dead. But the funeral is, indeed, in part for the living. And so even if you didn't have a good relationship with this person, think about all the other people who are there who don't feel that way and who, for them, it's going to help them green. to be able to honor this person, and you're just throwing a hand grenade into the middle of that because it would make you feel better. Delta 9 says that chick's eulogy could have come right out of Mao's Cultural Revolution. I suppose she'd probably take that as a compliment. Well, she wouldn't because she wouldn't know what Mao's cultural revolution is,
Starting point is 00:47:28 even though she's participating in it. Let's see. Majed says, Matt, I think it actually is in the best interest of some random Americans sitting on his dinner table that Russia is punished, i.e. had its global presence diminished, because then the U.S. will directly benefit from weakening one of its main competitors on the global stage, and that may translate into an improvement in terms of well-being for an average American. Well, that's your assertion, I understand, and you have reasserted it, but how exactly does it help? So you're
Starting point is 00:48:02 asserting that it would improve the well-being of the average American citizen if we are to punish Russia. So that's that's your assertion. That's what you're claiming. How exactly? Walk me through that. Give me this step by step process. Okay, you need to connect those dots for me because I'm not being facetious. I don't see it. Tyler says, sounds like Matt is that guy who's just losing his mind in my rear view mirror because myself and the four cars in front of me are only going seven miles per hour over the speed limit. I am absolutely that guy. How dare you go? Only seven miles. If you're going, going seven miles over the limit, you're going at least 10 miles per hour too slow. That's my driving safety recommendation. Let's see. Nikki says, I agree about people who drive too slow in the fast lane,
Starting point is 00:49:02 but the worst highway offenders are people who try to jump ahead in traffic by driving all the way to the end of the merge lane slash ramp and then cutting in at the last moment. But you could not be more wrong, Nikki, I'm afraid to say. You couldn't possibly be wronger. You have gone as far from correct as you could possibly go. You have reached the absolute zero of wrongness. The merge lane, the ramp, okay, it's there for a reason. You're supposed to use it. And if there's a lot of traffic, especially, I always take the on-ramp all the way to the end before I cut in. Because that's my lane, and I have every right to it, and I'm going to use it. And if I'm coming onto the highway, I have a right to that lane and I will use it all the way to the end. I'll leap,
Starting point is 00:49:50 I'll leap in front of 50 cars, cut right in at the last minute. And I will do it without causing any other car to break their stride or slam their brakes. I will do it with surgical precision. And you will look on in jealousy, but that's not my problem. So you're sitting in traffic and you're just jealous of the people that are on the on ramp and you see them whizzing by you and cutting in front. But your jealousy is not my issue. No, the real problem with merging is, I think we talked about this before, it's when, and this is a big issue in Nashville. I think Nashville is the capital of this, and I'm not exactly sure why. But the real problem is when people are, they're merging onto the highway, and there's a lot of traffic, and for some reason, they just kind of panic and they get afraid.
Starting point is 00:50:33 And so they come to a complete stop in the middle of the merge lane and sit there with their dumb little blinker on, like an idiot, waiting to cut into the traffic. Meanwhile, they're still like 100 feet of runway in front of them that they refuse to use. And so they're causing all the other cars that are coming on the on ramp to have to slam on their brakes. That's the real issue. You know, something smells over at my swag shack, something like Sweet Baby Spirit. That's right. Fuel tea to the SBG is in bloom this holiday season.

Well, we flew into San Francisco yesterday for my speech at Berkeley tonight. We had to drive downtown
Starting point is 00:52:32 from the airport to get to our hotel. The GPS, it wasn't working, but fortunately we were able to follow the stench of weed and feces, and it led us right into the city. Truly, San Francisco is a Godforsaken wasteland. It is like something out of Mad Max, but way gayer. If you didn't know any better, you might think that the whole city is like some kind of penal colony. If I had to choose between going to prison or moving to San Francisco, it would be a flip of the coin, at least, because there is no discernible difference between the two. This is what a leftist utopia looks like and what it smells like, like urine and garbage and despair. So what I'm trying to say is that I'm not a big fan of this city. And so it should come as no surprise that I am
Starting point is 00:53:11 canceling the city today. Though my reason for canceling has nothing to do with the trauma that I suffer every time I'm forced to come here. It's really a coincidence, perhaps providence, that I happen to be in the city on the day when its reason for cancellation has presented itself. And here's that reason. It's a report from the local ABC affiliate in San Francisco. It says San Francisco Mayor London Breed announced the launch of a new guaranteed income program for the city's transgender community on Wednesday, the guaranteed income for trans people, gift program. will provide low-income transgender residents with $1,200 each month, up to 18 months to help address financial insecurity within the community. In a statement, the city of San Francisco said, Gift is one of several programs the city is developing, implementing, and evaluating to identify how to best support San Francisco residents and promote economic stability and recovery.
Starting point is 00:54:03 City also said that the new pilot program is the first guaranteed income initiative to focus solely on trans people and will provide 55 eligible participants with temporary. income. Additionally, the city said it will provide the same individuals with wraparound direct services, such as gender affirming medical and mental health care, case management, specialty care services, and financial coaching. Now, we're told the reason for this program is that trans people are disproportionately impacted by poverty. We already know that trans people are disproportionately impacted by everything, really. If there was a giant tsunami that obliterated the whole city, not to get your hopes up, and everyone was washed away in the process, we would still be told. that trans people were disproportionately impacted.
Starting point is 00:54:44 If a volcano erupted on an island in the Pacific and incinerated a small village of 600 people and there were no trans people in the village at all, we would still be told that trans people were disproportionately impacted somehow. As for poverty, the article says this, quote, we know that our trans communities experience much higher rates of poverty and discrimination,
Starting point is 00:55:05 so this program will target support to lift individuals in this community up. We will keep building on programs like this to provide those in the greatest need with the financial resources and services to help them thrive, said Mayor London Breed in a statement, transgender communities experience poverty and economic instability at disproportionately high rates, according to the city. The U.S. Transgender Survey, which is the only large-scale study of trans people in the U.S.
Starting point is 00:55:28 in 2015 found that 33% of trans people in California were living in poverty. All right. So we're supposed to assume that the higher rates of poverty in the trans community are due to, discrimination, transphobia, whatever, even in a place like San Francisco where trans people are literally worshipped as deities. Even here, the high rates of poverty are because of bigotry. Yet, even the left will acknowledge that trans people
Starting point is 00:55:56 they also have higher rates of mental illness and substance abuse issues. That would seem to explain why they're more likely to have trouble holding down a job. And it's hard to see how handing them a check for 1,200 bucks will solve that. And by the way, if we're providing financial advantages to groups that are more likely to be homeless and impoverished, why not set up a program giving a monthly stipend to men? Quote, cisgender men specifically. After all, men, as compared to women, suffer much higher rates of homelessness and similar conditions. So why not give them a program? But no such program would or ever could exist because the disproportionate impact game is rigged.
Starting point is 00:56:41 In any case, we still haven't gotten to the reason for this cancellation. Obviously, handing out free money to the gender confused is an insane idea that will not solve any problem and will only make the existing problems even worse. But if San Francisco wants to continue its march into insanity and oblivion, it is more than welcome to do so. I have no interest in talking sense into them, nor could I even do that anyway. That's why my focus is not on the program itself, but on the form you have to fill out in order to be elizabeth. for it. So if you want to take advantage of gift, you must complete a 10-page form, which is available online in PDF form, so you can go see it. And the reason why, you might think of 10 pages, that's a lot of pages. Why do you have to fill out 10 pages? Well, the reason that it's 10
Starting point is 00:57:27 pages, that becomes immediately obvious when you skim through it. For instance, you're asked to your pronouns. And the form gives you 15 options, including co-co-coes, z-z-z-p-pur-pur-pur's, and v-ver-vis. Now, these may sound like characters in a Dr. Seuss book, but instead they are, in fact, made-up pronouns. Now, what is a v-ver exactly, and how is it distinguished from a z-zim or a pur-pers? Nobody knows. Nobody can say. And of course, if 15 options aren't enough, you can also check not listed as an option. Yet the list of pronouns seems downright limited compared to the section for gender identity. There are, according to Libs of TikTok, we took the time to count them all.
Starting point is 00:58:12 God bless her. There are 97 provided options for gender identity. 97 genders. And now in fairness, they've patted the stats here quite a bit. There will be, in many cases, four or five different ways to phrase the exact same thing, such as transgender woman, woman of trans experience, woman with a woman with a woman. a history of gender transition or trans feminine. These are treated as discrete and distinct identities, yet they're all the same brand of nonsense, rephrased in various different ways. Other gender options
Starting point is 00:58:46 include sister girl, feminine of center, brother boy, xenogenogen, gender, gender outlaw is an option. You can be a gender outlaw, multi-gender, omnigender, no-gender. No-gender. gender, if you really identify with the, if you really love the month of November, I guess, you're a novi gender. And also, there's a gender called aggressive. That's, that's the gender, aggressive. Aggressiveness is its own gender now. And if somehow none of those work for you, you can always check, I don't use labels or not listed. And then what about sexual orientation? Well, here there are a quaint 17 options, a number inflated by the fact that non-monogamous, pansexual, and polyameral are all listed as separate options.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Another sexual orientation option on the list. And I'm just telling you this. Okay, this is what's on the list. This is what this government form says. This is a valid label according to the form. And the label is faggot. That is on the sexual orientation checklist. Don't shoot the messenger.
Starting point is 00:59:53 I'm telling you what the form says. That is now a sexual orientation that you can claim and then get $1,200 from San Francisco if you do. Now, I've often said that many of these new gender and sexual orientation labels are not really gender's orientations, but actually personalities. And there are others who say that there are not genders, sexual orientations, or personalities, but really are mental illnesses. And I think both are the case, you know, you don't have to choose between the two. But there's something else, too. In many cases, take someone who identifies as a pansexual, multi-gender demi-boy with AM pronouns, I think it'd be almost making
Starting point is 01:00:30 too much of it to call it a personality or a mental illness. It's almost giving it too much credit. Because this is actually just nothing at all. It doesn't mean anything. In so many cases, genders and pronouns now are like hobbies these days. It's a recreational activity. People who have nothing better to do just sit around, coming up with and collecting new labels for themselves. It's like this generation's Pokemon cards, except it comes with an extra side of identity crisis. And maybe this is partly why San Francisco has so many homeless people. People who can't get jobs. Because the entire city is sitting around thinking about its pronouns and gender identities. These are the kinds of things they're thinking about. Don't have the time
Starting point is 01:01:19 to think about or worry about anything else. Like getting a job or, you know, housing, for example. I think there may be more to that theory than you think, but we're not going to flesh it all out now. For now, suffice it to say that San Francisco is, for this reason, and so many countless others, canceled. And that'll do it for the show today. I'll be at Berkeley tonight, so that'll be interesting. And if I don't see you there, I'll talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
