Today on the Matt Wall Show, a pop singer lasts about half a week after provocatively declaring that
women are females. Her cave and surrender were pathetic and embarrassing and inevitable. Also,
today we're going to talk about why cowards like this are the real villains here, I think. Also,
as the Biden administration tries to recover from Biden's Ron Burgundy moment, the contents of Hunter
Biden's eye cloud are allegedly leaked on 4chan. A female soldier openly questions her loyalty to her
country after Roe was overturned. After years of bragging about all of its women, priests,
and bishops, the Church of England now says that the word woman has no definition, so that's a little
bit awkward. And in our daily cancellation, the mainstream media finally acknowledged what is
a woman while I was away on vacation. The resulting hit piece is even more disingenuous and
ridiculous than you might expect. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walls
show. Well, our nation's authorities are now openly admitting to having completely missed the flashing red
lights of inflation and this administration's failed economic policies. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen
admitted she was wrong about the path inflation would take. She said, quote, there have been
unanticipated and large shocks in the economy that have boosted energy and food prices and supply
bottlenecks that have affected our economy badly that at the time I didn't fully understand.
Admitting that herself. Well, there you have it straight from the horse's mouth. I didn't
fully understand, she says. Not the only thing that this administration doesn't understand.
Now, I know you're worried about affording basic necessities in the months to come. Food.
gas, shelter, everything else. But she didn't know. You know, it's not her fault. She just didn't know.
It goes without saying that you can't trust the so-called authorities on economic policy,
which is why you should invest at least some of your money in gold and silver with Birch Gold Group.
Protect your savings from a highly turbulent economy by diversifying your 401k or IRA into physical gold.

Well, I officially returned to my show from vacation today,
which means that in preparation for this event, I had to make my official
return to Twitter yesterday. I had only ventured, you know, back into that overflowing cyber septic
tank for a few hours before my name was trending. And I thought that at first, you know, I was
trending because everybody was welcoming me back with well wishes and warm salutations and all
that. But it turns out that most of the messages were considerably less friendly. I guess that's
no surprise on second thought. The conversation seemed to revolve around a brief argument that I had
with J.K. Rowling on Sunday because, of course, the first thing that I do when I come back from
vacation and I'm really well rested is I pick a fight with a random famous person. But before we get
to that, we need to back up all the way to ancient history, which was last Tuesday, when I was
still out fishing and the singer Macy Gray was igniting a media firestorm by controversially
suggesting that women exist. So during her appearance on Pierce Morgan, where I think she was
promoting an album or something like that, the conversation kind of drifted to the topic of
gender. And Morgan posed the ultimate question, of course, the question of our generation,
which Gray had at first no trouble answering at all. I'm sure you've heard this clip already,
but let's play it again just for our own enjoyment. Here it is. If I asked you what a woman is,
what would you say? Let's say a human being with boobs. You have to start there.
Yeah, I mean, the dictionary is quite straightforward.
It just as a human adult female, right?
No, a lot of people, yeah, see, that's getting confusing.
The whole he, she, they, that's going to love that.
And I'm not sure why really.
It's a bit like this whole issue of transgender in sport.
Because I support all trans rights to fairness and equality.
Me too.
But not where you have people born to obvious physical superior bodies.
Me too.
Transitioning and then thrashing the women at their sport.
I totally agree.
And I will say this and everybody's going to hate me, but as a woman, just because you go change your parts, doesn't make you a woman.
Right.
Sorry.
You feel that?
I know that for a fact.
Like, if you want me to call you a her, I will, because that's what you want.
But that doesn't make you a woman, just because I call you a her, and just because you got a surgery.
So, thus began the usual circus routine.
After saying this objectively true and normal thing, Gray was.
reviled by the left, slammed as a transphobe and a bigot, and she's, you know, well, she's,
marginalizing and erasing trans people through her refusal to allow women to be marginalized
and erased. That's basically the accusation. And meanwhile, on the other side of it,
the right hailed her as a hero, you know, a courageous warrior, triumphing over cancel culture.
She was applauded for standing firm and being bold in the face of the backlash. But
The applause, as is almost always the case, unfortunately, came too soon.
Gray made it all of about three days before buckling.
And on Thursday of the very same week, the singer made the traditional pilgrimage to a morning
TV show to express her deep regrets and sorrow and to beg for absolution.
She explained that over the previous couple of days, the experience of having a bunch of
of blue-haired freak screaming at her had been very educational and it had been very
enlightening. She'd learned a lot from the blue-haired freaks. That's my words, not hers. I'm paraphrasing.
In fact, she'd learned that everything she thought she knew about the world was wrong. Biology is a
myth and that she as a woman doesn't actually exist. She learned all of this in two or three days.
And they had taught her this by crying and screaming. It was the most educational temper tantrum
she'd ever witnessed, apparently. Let's watch that. I never, of course, never meant to her to
anybody with what I said.
I'm actually a huge,
I think it takes a lot of courage to be yourself,
to go out in the world and be honest about who you are.
And so I think anyone who is in the LGBT community is a hero
and sets an example for all of us with that, you know.
So I said some things that didn't go over well,
but my intention was never to hurt anybody.
I feel bad that I did hurt some people.
And I think it's, you know, it's just about education.
It's about conversation and us getting to a point where we understand each other.
And that only happens with, you know, I've learned a lot through this.
So I think that that was one of the reasons it might have.
happened. It was a huge learning experience for me. You know, I think you, you can, like I said,
and there you can call yourself what, like you, you, whoever you believe you are. And no one
can dictate that for you or take that away from you, you know? I think life is an education
process. The more you sit with people, the more you talk to people, it changes your perspective.
So has your perspective changed, do you feel? I've learned so much. And I think, you know, being a woman
is a vibe and it's something I'm very proud of and it's very precious to me and I think that if you
in your heart feel that that's what you are then that's what you are regardless of what anybody
says or thinks you know what I'm saying well it's a good thing you know that all the groveling bases
were covered there she didn't skip any of the steps she was very thorough in that way the script
was followed with precision and and though we we've grown so accustomed to seeing the
this pageant of humiliation play out, it never gets any easier to watch, at least not for me
anyway. Each time I feel like I'm watching somebody cut their own heart out of their chest.
It's grotesque and disgusting and humiliating, but weirdly fascinating. You're just kind of glued
to the screen watching this sick display. And you can't look away as much as you want to because
we know the steps here. Step one, the penitent claims that she's learned a lot and she's been educated
it. That's the necessary first step. Never explains what she's learned exactly or how she learned it
or exactly what insights her critics offered to her. That's because there was no insight,
unless guttural screaming and demonic convulsing counts as an insight. I don't know.
And then step two, she flatters the rage mob. You know, she lays down her offerings at their feet.
She bows before them in worship, adoring them, declaring in this case that everybody in the LGBT community is a hero,
all of them, because, of course, it requires true heroism to belong to the most protected,
privileged, and coddled, and applauded group of people to ever exist on planet Earth. That requires
heroism to do that. And then step three, she finally and fully renounces all of her past
beliefs. She renounces reality and truth of itself. She renounces her own existence,
really, proclaiming that contrary to what she had always thought up until about breakfast time that
morning, there is no objective or biological basis to womanhood. Being a woman is, as she put it,
a vibe. It's just a vibe. A woman isn't anything. But if you feel like you are one,
then you are one and what you are is nothing. All women are nothing. And everybody is invited to
join them in their nothingness. Now, of course, if being a woman is just a vibe, then it doesn't
doesn't really make a lot of sense for men to take drugs or get surgeries as part of their transition process.
There is no such thing as a vibe surgery. You can't surgically implant or remove a vibe, right? You can't go to the doctor and say,
you know, I want to have a certain vibe. Can you get me a certain? That doesn't make any sense.
If it's all about the vibe, if it's about the feeling, then the whole gender transition industry makes no sense and it's built on a false premise.
So it turns out that either way, whether the claims made by gender ideology are wrong or right,
the whole process of gender transition is nonsensical and false. Either way.
But as we've learned, we cannot expect the proponents of this idea to notice these kinds of contradictions
or care about them if they do notice them. This all brings us back to the beginning of our story.
I criticized Macy Gray on Twitter for being a gutless coward, which is what she is.
After some pushback to that, I tweeted this.
I said, sorry, but women who publicly renounced the definition of woman for fear of mean comments from trans activists deserve all the scorn they get.
That kind of gutless cowardice is exactly what got us into this position in the first place.
That's what I said.
Okay.
Now, a little while later, J.K. Rowling, who famously has stood up courageously against the trans mob, responded to me with a defense of gray and of other women who have similarly folded like cheap lawn chairs.
Rowing tweeted in response to me, she said,
endless death threats and rape threats, threats of loss of livelihood, employers targeted,
physical harassment, family addresses posted online with pictures of bomb-making manuals,
aren't mean comments.
If you don't yet understand what happens to women who stand up on this issue, back off.
She said talking to me.
Now, lots of other feminists in the so-called turf camp or the gender-critical camp,
as they prefer to call themselves, most of them, they've echoed and agreed with this sentiment
from Rowling.
In fact, I've heard this from feminists.
quite a lot since my film came out,
that it's easy for me.
They say, I don't know what it's like, okay?
I don't have to make the same kind of sacrifices.
I don't put the same things on the line.
I don't get treated the same way.
Nobody attacks me the way they attack women who speak out.
And now Rowling, whose courage on this issue,
as I said, I really respect, and I've said that many times,
is singing the same tune.
But she's completely wrong, of course.
and it just shows how feminists who criticize the trans agenda,
even though they're right about the issue of transgenderism,
they're still hamstrung and handicapped by left-wing identity politics and victimology.
They can't accept an alliance with a man because they resent us for our perceived privilege,
even though it's a privilege they've completely invented in their heads.
because the fact is that nearly everything she describes,
the things that I can't understand supposedly
because they only happen to women supposedly,
they have happened to me with great frequency
and ferocity, I would say, over the past month
and before that, but especially over the past month.
I've had many death threats.
I've been doxed many times.
Okay?
I don't think is I don't talk about these things a lot.
I mention them here and there.
I don't spend a lot of time talking about them.
But I can assure you they are happening.
I have been threatened, harassed, insulted.
They've tried to de-platform me.
They've tried to get me fired.
They've tried to get my advertisers to boycobie, et cetera and so forth over and over and over again.
I don't doubt at all that trans activists are vicious monsters towards any woman who defies them.
But the operative aspect there is defies them, not woman.
They cannot tolerate defiance from anyone.
The survival of their fragile worldview, as we've seen, depends on silencing all of the opposition,
no matter who it's coming from.
It doesn't matter if it's the idea that if it's coming from a white, conservative man that they're going to lay off.
No, he's good. He's one of the good ones. Let's leave him alone.
It's just, it's hilarious.
But here's the thing.
if I had over the past month or if I any time in the future cave to the mob and pull a Macy Gray,
I would deserve scorn to endless amounts of it.
I'm telling you right now if I ever were to do that, you should scorn me and despise me for that.
Now, it's not going to happen.
I can assure you of that because I would quite literally rather be dead than surrender to these people.
I'd rather take a bullet to the head than debase myself the way Macy Gray did, and it wouldn't even be a difficult choice.
But if that were not the case, and I crumbled under the onslaught and turned traitor on truth for the sake of protecting myself, I would be a worse villain in this story than any individual trans militant.
Because, as I said in the original tweet, the cowards are the ones who got us into this mess.
Why is that?
Well, because there were never enough and still are not enough trans militants to forcibly drag our society into the mass epidemic of madness that we're currently experiencing.
They can't do it on their own without our consent.
As much as they would like to, as much as they're trying to, they can't.
In order for this to happen, it has required and will continue to require the acquiescence of countless people who know better, who know the truth.
but implicitly, or in many cases, explicitly,
renounce and disavow that knowledge
in order to preserve their own comfort
and their own safety.
But most of the time it's just their own comfort,
because most of the time their safety
is not really in jeopardy.
Sometimes it is, but in most cases it's not.
You know, I really don't think that anyone
was going to go kill Macy Gray
because of a one-minute conversation
she had on Pierce Morgan.
I wouldn't put anything past these people,
but I really doubt that was going to happen.
What she was trying to protect was her financial security and just her comfort.
And really, she just wanted to get along with her Hollywood friends and her friends in the music industry.
And that's what she was trying to protect.
Every time a coward collapses like this, betraying themselves and all the rest of us on the team common,
you know, on team common sense when we are betrayed in this way, as we are so often,
they only make it that much harder for whoever the mob turns its sights on next.
so it's not a victimless crime here.
The mob is emboldened and fueled by every person who sells their souls to it.
They are vultures who feed on the dignity that you abandon and leave on the floor.
They feast on your subservience and your submission and your self-debasement.
The only way to stop them is to starve them of this fuel, is to look them in the eyes,
and say, no, I apologize for nothing.
I am right, you are wrong.
Now go scream about it some more, you damned hobgoblins.
I don't care.
You don't scare me.
And laugh in their face.
That's how you handle it.
Anything less than that.
And you're part of the problem.
Now let's get to our five headlines.
Well, if you like skydiving, great.
But you've got to get your will finalized before you go skydiving.
It's just a fact.
100% of people who skydive and 100%
percent of people who breathe will die. In fact, 100 percent of people who do anything at all,
anywhere will die. So whether you're going out with a bang, skydiving, you're going to live
another hundred years or whatever it is, a will isn't about you. It's about your loved one.
It's about the really hard decisions they need to make if something were to happen to you.
Don't make your family make hard decisions when all they should be focused on is grieving.
Instead, give them all the answers like life support or pull the plug, buried or cremated.
I mean, if you die skydiving, there's not going to be a life support issue because you're just going to be a pancake on the ground.
But you get it.
There's a lot of decisions to make.
Whatever it happens to be, you need to have the will in place.
But here's the deal.
The judge who it takes over, if you don't have a will, they don't know who your best friend is or who you trust to raise your kids.
The fact is a will is something that can take as little as five minutes to set up.
And if you don't do it, you're acting selfishly.
So go to epicwill.com, use promo code Walsh.
And I'll even save you 10%.
I mean, come on.
You can literally have a comprehensive will starting at $119.
And if you don't have a will, you're gift-wrapping money to the state by letting the state use its will to decide everything for you.
Don't trust the state to make any decision for your family.
Go to epicwill.com, use promo code Walsh and just get it done.
All right.
Well, as mentioned, I was on vacation last week.
I didn't tell you I was going on vacation because I thought that it would be best for you to experience the trauma unexpectedly.
And so that's the strategy I went with.
And in fact, I'm still sort of on vacation.
Not really.
At least I'm in the place where I was vacationing.
And I asked the Daily Wire, could I stay here for a few more, like a couple more weeks and do the show from here?
And they very eagerly and quickly said yes.
And at first I was happy about that.
But then I was sort of offended that they were so eager and happy for me not to be there.
I try not to think about it very much.
Anyway, the drive up here was about 20 hours, all told, which we did, you know, with stops,
which we did about a day and a half with four kids.
And it was a little rough, I'll be honest with you, for the first 17 hours,
but we really hit a stride after that point, I think.
The worst thing that happened, though, on the way up here is,
and this was about, I don't know, like 18 hours into it,
and we were just disheveled and annoyed and everything, as you can imagine.
And we stopped at a chick-fil-A,
and I'm in the parking lot with my kids.
My wife had to run in to go to the bathroom.
and I'm like yelling at my kids because just because we've been in the car for 18 hours and they were and they were going out of their minds insane.
So I'm trying to, it's like I'm scolding them in that sort of helpless way that you do when you're in a car with them and there's nothing.
There's no way to really punish them, you know, immediately anyway.
And so I'm doing that and then I look over and there's this car parked right next to us looking at me like kind of smiling because they're fans of the show and they're witnessing all of this.
And so then we had a little bit of an awkward conversation.
but then the worst part about this, and I just have to tell you this, I was waiting for this to be a scandal that everyone to find out about it, but now I'm just going to tell you myself, the worst part is, what I thought about afterwards, is that I was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, and my wife came in and sat in the driver's seat, and we had this conversation with them, and they didn't say anything, but I can only imagine if they're members of the Sweet Baby Gang, the judgment they must have been thinking in their heads towards me, that I was not driving the car. And I just want to say,
for the record. I did 18 hours of this drive. After that, I said, fine, I'll let my wife drive
because I might fall asleep and kill everybody if I don't. So I did make that decision. But I would
not, I wouldn't begrudge them thinking less of me after seeing that, because I would. Anytime I see a
man not driving his own car, I judge him. And then so I guess this is what I, this is like punishment
from the universe. And it sends a message that what I should have done is,
put my own pride and masculinity above safety.
That's what I should have done.
I made the wrong choice and I paid for it.
All right.
So let's start with this.
This is a good way to start off, I think.
Camilla Harris was interviewed on CBS over the weekend and had another moment of sheer
articulate brilliance.
And I don't know, each one just gets better than the last, in my opinion.
Let's watch this.
Check it out.
Did Democrats fail past Democratic presidents, congressional leaders to not codify
Roe v. Wade over the past five decades?
I do believe that we should have rightly believed,
but we certainly believe that certain issues are just settled.
Certain issues are just settled.
Clearly we're not.
No, that's right.
And that's why I do believe that we are living,
sadly, in real unsettled times.
Brilliant.
So just a quote,
I do believe that we have rightly believed,
but we certainly believed that certain believed
that certain issues are just settled. Certain issues are just settled. And that's why I do believe
that we are living in real unsettled times. Remember what I told you. Okay, this is the only way to
understand Camel. Well, not understand her. That's not exactly the right word I'm looking for.
This is the, well, it's a way of not, it's not a way of understanding the meaning behind her words
because there is no meaning, but it's a way of understanding why she has no meaning when she speaks.
You know, why is she babbling? And it's because, as I've told you, and you really heard it there,
I think perfect example of it is that she never knows what word she's going to say next.
Okay, each, every time she speaks, for her speaking is a continuous game of word association.
And so she just throws one word out there and it's just a journey.
She just decides what word's going to be next and she stitches it together, throws a period in there,
question mark in there, but it doesn't really mean anything and she's just saying words.
But that's why you find she gets into these rhythms where she'll use,
the same word over and over again in slightly different contexts. And it doesn't make any sense
at all, but it's just word association. She's just kind of, she's just kind of freestyling as she goes.
That's the way she speaks. And it's, it is in some ways kind of remarkable. And I guess this is
what happens when you are totally vacuous. You have nothing to say. You have no content at all
inside your head. Now, that's not, that's not remarkable for a politician. That's the case for most
of them. That's why I hate almost all of them. But then on top of that, you have no BS game
whatsoever. You are not a BS artist. You are very much an amateur. So when you're not able to
BS your way through it, most politicians are at least decently okay at that part of it. But yet you have
nothing to say you end up with Kamala Harris. And this, though, did not manage to overshadow, I think,
the Ron Burgundy moment from Joe Biden, which I want to play this clip because then it ties into
another story that I want to talk about. And I'm sure you've heard this already, but we're going to
play it again just for, again, for our own enjoyment. Here's Joe Biden reading the prompters, a few days
before this, verbatim, and literally, including the stuff that's supposed to be parenthetical,
that he wasn't supposed to read out loud, but of course he did. Let's listen to that again.
It is noteworthy that the percentage of women who registered to vote and cast a ballot is consistently
higher than the percentage of the men who do so. End of quote.
Repeat the line. Women are not without electoral and or political or, maybe precise,
not and or, or political power. That's another saying, you, the women of America, can
determine the outcome of this issue. Now, as the Federalist reports, the White House over the last
few days, they tried to clean that up a little bit, and they actually changed the official
White House transcript. Anytime the president speaks, you can go to the White House website and they
have official transcripts of whatever he said. And for the, you know, the person transcribing Joe Biden,
it's always, that's always a challenge, just like the sign language interpreter is in a very
challenging position with Joe Biden. And the person transcribing him is in a challenging position also.
So they misquote him as saying, end of quote, let me repeat the line. But he's
He didn't say, let me repeat the line. He just said, repeat the line. Because that was the
prompter, the person behind the prompter instructing him, repeat the line. He just said,
instead he just read it out loud. Now, this to me, this kind of story, to me, is even bigger
than this, which I'll get to now. This is Washington Examiner. It says a lot of this is,
there's a lot of this that still has not been officially confirmed and all that, and, you know,
to the extent that we wait for the mainstream media to officially confirm anything, that just
means that it never will be. That's always the position we're in whenever there's
embarrassing information about a Democrat circulating out there. This is the one Washington
Examiner reports. They say, the contents of Hunter Biden's iCloud account have allegedly
been hacked by users of the 4chan community who posted screenshots purported to be from his phone,
from Hunter Biden's phone and his computer on the website's main political forum late Saturday night.
Administrators on the image board moved quickly in the hours after the content was posted to pull down
threads that included materials from the alleged leak, leaving many on the site, which is known
for featuring some of the most salacious subject matter on the internet, furious.
There's been no, of course, the White House has not issued any statement about this whatsoever.
The content of the leak could not immediately be verified by the Washington Examiner,
and a White House representative did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
big surprise there. It was also not immediately clear if the contents of the 4chan leak included any materials from the younger Biden's infamous laptop of which the Washington Examiner verified the authenticity earlier this year. So there's a lot of, again, supposedly from Hunter Biden's iCout account, someone over 4chan was able to hack into it and they release a lot of stuff and it's circulating out there on the internet. It's incredibly embarrassing and disgusting and criminal. There's videos allegedly.
of Hunter Biden. There's one where he, I have to keep saying allegedly, put the scare quotes around
that, where he's measuring out crack, appears to be measuring out crack on like a scale, and he
takes a video of him. He films himself measuring out the crack and then, I guess, arguing with his
crack dealer about whether it's, you know, enough crack. So even though this is from 4chan,
and it has not been independently verified, it's, it, my interpretation,
personally is that the images and the videos and everything do seem to be very legitimate.
I mean, it's just appear either that or it's the most, either the content is legitimate
or it's the most deviously and expertly done, you know, Photoshop, fake that we've ever
seen. It's like one of those two options, but it appears to be pretty real to me anyway, right?
And yet, I still think the bigger story is the teleprompter thing, or things similar to that with Joe Biden.
He falls off a bicycle.
That's the bigger story to me.
Because I continue to believe that the best argument against Joe Biden, the most potent criticism, is that he is a senile and competent destroying the country.
That's it.
He's senile and incompetent.
That's why I can't even read a prompter.
He can't ride a bicycle without falling off of it.
And he's destroying the country.
He's the worst president of American history.
He's had the worst first two years, first half a term or whatever, almost half a term, that we've ever seen.
He's done more damage in two years than any politician has ever been able to do in this country.
Not an exaggeration.
I don't even think that there's, there might be a little bit of competition for that title, but not much.
I think he's pretty far ahead of the pack.
And that's what matters about him for me.
Not so much that his son is a crackhead.
Now, that doesn't mean that it's irrelevant.
It is relevant.
If all of this stuff is legitimate, then there's a lot.
I mean, if crimes be committed by the president's son,
who's, by the way, not in jail.
That's relevant.
It's an issue of law and order of justice.
Also, when you want to look into ties between, you know,
all the different ways. I mean, that's the son we're talking about, but all the business ties and everything to link them together. So it's not that it's irrelevant. It's just that, especially from a political standpoint, it requires explanation. Like, when you go to the average person who doesn't follow this stuff very closely, and especially as we get into 2024 and the election cycle, if he actually runs again, and you're trying to explain to this person, like why they shouldn't vote for Biden. We don't want Biden in office again.
If you lead with Hunter Biden, the average person is going to say, well, that's just, that's his loser kid.
Like, that doesn't, how does that affect anything?
How does that tie to him?
How does he have anything to do with that?
Well, he does have something to do with it, but then you've got to explain it.
And it becomes this kind of circuitous path you have to follow.
And meanwhile, over here, you've got this really solid, understandable case.
And things like the teleprompter, they put it in front of everybody's face in a really clear way that this guy is senile and incompetent.
and he's doing a horrible job and he's destroying the country.
That's what we should be hammering.
I made the same point during the 2020 election cycle
when Hunter's laptop came out.
Yeah, it's a story. It's relevant.
Became even bigger story,
but in the ways that big tech tried to censor it.
This kind of conspiracy between big tech and media
and the Democrats and all that, that was a big story.
But as I said at the time,
that can't be our closing argument going into the election
because it's not the most powerful one.
The most powerful one is Joe Biden himself, this guy himself.
I still think that that's the case here.
Which means we talk about it, but I don't want to get, especially as we get into election seasons
and we go back to the Hunter Biden thing, it just makes me nervous because I'm like,
are we going to distract ourselves from the fact, from just hammering on the fact over and over
and over again, the president is senile, has no idea what he's doing and is ruining the country.
even if all of his children are totally squared away, you know, that still will be the case.
All right, let's move to this.
So a female army soldier has recorded a TikTok video questioning her own loyalty to the United States because of the Roe decision.
And this is the kind of thing.
This is the woke privilege that you have that you can record a video like this, active duty military,
and put it out on the internet with no fear of anything happening to you.
And so here's what she posted. Look at this.
I have thoughts.
I have thoughts and I have questions.
It happened.
It happened.
I woke up from a nap to this.
On deployment.
I woke up from a nap to this news.
America is waking up to this news.
I just extended my contract to continue serving this country a week ago.
How am I supposed to serve this country?
swear to support and defend the Constitution and a country that treats its women like second-class
citizens. How am I supposed to do that? How am I supposed to do that with pride? How am I supposed
to do that with love and honor? How am I supposed to wake up every day and put on a
freaking uniform that says United States Army when the United States doesn't even give a rat's
about me. It gives more of a rat's ass about the guns they're allowed to buy that kill the
children that I'm forced to give birth to. Think about that. Oh, that's so funny. Think about it.
You know, think about that utter total nonsense. It really gives you something to think about, I guess.
this is of course now i just looked up for an update i didn't i didn't see one so because i'm
naively optimistically looking for some news that this woman is being at least reprimanded i mean
she should be kicked out of the military this is no question about that you're your active duty
military and you're publicly declaring um that you're not sure about your loyalty to the united
States. You are publicly questioning your own loyalty to the United States and questioning whether
you can fulfill the oath that you took when you became a member of a military.
And she's allowed to continue, of course, because this is what happens. This is the consequence.
We're going to leave aside the content of everything she said, the claim she made. Obviously,
all that is just total nonsense. Women are second-class citizens because they can't kill their children.
No, that actually, as a woman, if you can't kill your children, then that puts you in the same class as everybody else.
And everybody else only includes one of the category, which would be men.
Okay.
That's the position that we've been in since the dawn of the nation.
I mean, that's the position we've always been in, which is that we cannot legally murder our children.
And that's the position that everybody should be in.
You should not be able to legally murder your children.
So that's the law that we've been under, even after Rovi Wade.
But if you're a woman, then you had a, you know, about a half century period where you were put, you were in fact made into, you were put above men in that you were given this legal privilege, if we can even call it that.
you became you alone had authority over the life and death of your child and in a way that the father of the child could not participate
so removing that privilege and again i hesitate to use the word privilege i don't mean that in the sense of being a good
thing obviously uh that entitlement that whatever you want to call that extra power of judge jury and
execution over your own children removing that from you doesn't make you a second class citizen that actually
brings you closer to equality. So what you're experiencing, what this woman in the video,
what she's experiencing, and how distraught she's feeling and all the distress, that is the feeling
of getting closer to actual equality. But for you, the trip to, this is why it's so distressing
for you and so difficult, is that for you, the trip to equality means going down, basically.
It doesn't mean climbing up. Now, when you climb up and you achieve equality because in the past,
your equality had been taken from you, and you were made unequal, you were put below other people,
and then you're given equality. Now this is a celebratory occasion, right? But in this case,
this is a legal power which you never should have had, has been taken away, a privilege has been
taken away, and now you're equal with men, and that neither man nor woman can legally kill a child.
In some U.S. states, anyone in plenty of other states, they still have that privilege.
But leaving aside, I just said I was going to leave aside the content because it's nonsense, but I couldn't help myself.
If we could leave that aside for a moment, what she's doing here obviously should be not only getting,
shouldn't mean not only getting kicked out of the military, but being arrested also.
Because you are now by your own profession, a traitor to the United States, you know, questioning your own loyalty to the United States.
But this is the consequence of bringing people into the military in a way that that's,
where we are presenting the military as not a place of uniformity,
a place where you work together as a team,
a place of discipline and obedience.
I mean,
that's what the military has always been historically,
both in this country and every other country on earth,
up until very recent times.
But now we sell the military, and I say we,
I mean, like the bureaucrats in D.C. sell it through their recruitment campaigns.
they sell as an opportunity to express your individualism, an opportunity to truly be yourself,
to truly fulfill your own personal destiny and all that kind of stuff.
So when you highlight individuality in the military, this is what you end up with.
People on camera whining about a Supreme Court decision and saying, well, I don't know if I
can defend the United States anymore, which, which by the way, that's not much of a threat to us.
Like, if you feel like you can't do your job anymore, then please just leave. You should be kicked
out. You should be fired. You should be arrested. But you're not going to be. So if you feel like
you can't do it, then absolutely. Just we're, we're not going to be any worse off without you,
we're not going to be any worse off without you. I don't think anyone, if you leave the military,
I don't think anyone is going to feel less safe now that you're not in it. So take some solace
in that, I guess. One of the things. One of the things,
thing kind of on the same topic. This is from the New York Post. It says a pregnant Texas woman
who was given a traffic ticket for driving solo in an HOV lane and tends to fight the citation,
arguing that her fetus should be considered a separate person given the lone star state's views
and abortion. Mother B. Brandy Baton, 34, told the Dallas Morning News that she was given the ticket
on June 29th, every being pulled over by police while driving on a highway near the city.
She told the newspaper, quote, I was driving to pick up my son. I knew I could, I
couldn't be a minute laid. So I took the HOV lane. As I exit the HOV lane, there was a checkpoint
at the end of the exit. I slammed on my brakes and I was pulled over by police. The cop asked
if she had a passenger with her and she responded. And in fact, she did. I pointed to my stomach
and said, my baby girl is right here. She is a person. He said, oh, no, it's going to be two people
outside of the body. That's what it has to be. So now she's fighting in a court saying that, well,
it's pretty clear from the context here that she's pro-abortion. And so this was her way. This
This is a kind of gotcha moment here against the pro-lifers saying, hey, you see what happens?
You see?
You get rid of abortion, and now all of a sudden there's confusion in the HOV lane.
And I guess she expects that we as pro-lifers will say, well, never mind that.
Well, I thought that it would be good to stop killing babies.
But if you're telling me that getting rid of abortion means that there's slight confusion in the HOV lane, well, never mind.
Let's just kill the babies again.
That's a price that we simply can't pay.
Now, there is an easy way around this if you want to preserve the integrity of the HOV lane and also not kill babies.
Like you want to do both of those things.
The way around it is to say that you have to have passengers in a passenger seat.
That's what we mean by HOV.
So that's the way around it.
Just a really simple clarification, I think we get around this.
Or here's what I would prefer.
Just get rid of the stupid HOV lane to begin with.
Okay.
Which is not a bad thing as far as I'm concerned.
So this is another example of Democrats proposing something very attractive as a way to punish us for banning abortion.
And in this case, the implication is that we'd have to abolish the carpool lane if we don't have abortion anymore.
Which, great. Let's do that because the left lane is supposed to be for people driving fast.
Who cares how many people are in the car with you?
If you want to be in the leftmost lane, then you should just be driving fast.
You should be driving a lot faster than the cars in the other lane.
That's the only qualification that there should be on the left lane.
And that should be rigidly enforced as far as I'm concerned.
I mean, people who go like five miles under the limit in the fast lane, forget about finding.
We should be pulling them over and putting them in jail for 30 days to let them think about it.
And that's fine with me.
So let's just do that.
But this is what the Democrats have been doing,
is proposing things that,
like claiming that there are implications
to get rid of abortion,
and those implications are actually great.
Here's another one.
This is Jack Cochiorella, I guess.
He's a Democrat strategist.
He tweeted this yesterday, or a couple days ago.
He said, if Republicans really believe life begins
a conception. Shouldn't someone who is pregnant be allowed to claim their baby as a dependent on their
taxes? Sounds great. Let's do that too. It's fantastic. Get rid of the HOV lane, only have a fast lane.
You drive fast in the left lane. Fantastic. You can claim your unborn child as a dependent on your
taxes. That means a tax break. So that's great too. What does he imagine? This is a Democrat strategist
who has no idea. He's supposed to be a strategist for the Democrats, which should mean,
that he's an expert on Republicans and conservatives, his opponents, he should know us like the
back of his own hand. He has no understanding of us whatsoever. He thinks that he can threaten us
with a tax break. This is just like the ones that, you know, the people that are saying, well,
if we don't have abortion, then that means that we're going to have to have abstinence before
marriage, right? It's the end of hookup culture. Great. Awesome. Well, if we don't have abortion,
that means that we have to require men.
I thought it turns out.
Well, if we don't have abortion, that means we have to require men to care for their babies
from conception.
You wouldn't want that, would you?
No, I do want that.
All this is great.
Absinence before marriage, get rid of the carpool lane, tax breaks, men taking care of their kids.
These are, according to the opponents of pro-lifers, according to pro-aborts themselves,
these are the consequences of getting rid of abortion.
It's win upon win upon win.
I see nothing but upside.
And when I think that we've seen all the upside we could possibly see, they give us some more upside.
And the great thing is that I didn't need any upside other than we're not killing babies anymore.
That would have been good enough for me.
I didn't need any of this extra stuff.
But this is just, you know, whipped cream, cherry sprinkles on top.
This is everything.
We've got the whole ice cream Sunday now.
All right.
One other quick thing I want to mention before we get to the comment section, it's
says, this is from the Daily Mail, so the Church of England has admitted that it does not have a
definition of the word woman. A bishop said yesterday that the meaning of the word used to be
self-evident, but he added that there are now complexities associated with gender identity,
which a church project about sexuality and relationships is exploring. So this is their official
statement. They're exploring what a woman is, but right now there's no official definition.
The thing that makes this so fantastic is that for years and years, the Church of England
has bragged about the fact that they have woman priests and woman bishops.
They had their first woman priest back in the 1990s,
and they were one of the earliest churches to institute this policy of having women priests,
and then they had women bishops and everything.
And they've been bragging about that for years up until 30 seconds ago,
and now they're saying, well, on second thought,
I don't actually know what a woman is.
Forget all of that.
I looked this up.
the first woman priest, Angela Berners-Wilson in 1994, was the first woman ordained as a priest
in the Church of England, and she's been very excited about that for the last, you know, for the
last few decades and she's been talking about. That's now been, this has been taken away from
Angela Berners-Wilson, from Father Angela Berners-Wilson. This is taken away,
because we don't even know what a woman is. So how can we talk about, how can we celebrate
having woman priests and woman bishops.
The left continues to eat itself,
and it's just a glorious sight to behold.
Now let's get to our comment section.
Well, we didn't have a show last week,
so we don't have show comments for the comment section.
Instead, I thought that I'll read some comments under a video we posted
while we were away.
We posted a bunch of new content, even though we weren't here,
which you can go to my YouTube channel if you haven't
and check some of that out.
And I think the most important video that we put out, I ranked the five worst superheroes.
And because I'm, of course, an expert on the subject, it turns out that the worst superheroes are all the female ones.
I didn't decide that.
Okay, this is not my, well, it was my list.
But I was just looking at the facts as all.
And as it turned out, it just kind of, it shook out in a way where it turned out that, that, that,
all the worst superheroes were women.
And so there were a lot of interesting comments to that video.
I thought I'd read a few of them.
This one's from Lulu says, Matt, Matt, Matt,
were you given any context for these characters?
Black Widow isn't just a skinny little female.
She's one of the most talented assassins in the MCU's world.
As a child, she was indoctrinated into the red room.
After she graduated from the red room,
she spent many years working for the KGB.
before defecting to work as an agent of shield.
She mastered not only martial arts,
but also marksmanship, interrogation, and so much more.
The reason she's so skilled is because she has no superpowers.
Wait, what?
She had to work hard to become strong,
but she isn't just some overpowered, omnipotent character.
She has her strict...
This goes on and on and on forever.
This person's like a biographer of Black Widow from a Marvel universe.
And then he continues, I think this is allegedly a gr-well-this-a-lulu.
So, you know, these days who knows what person would be attached to that name?
He said that, let's see, having got intel she needed, she dropped the helpless act and took down the general and his men who had all let down their guard, still think she's a skinny little female, Matt.
Yeah, I do.
Okay, because the, look, as I said in that video, again, really important issue, is that,
She, not only do we have the absurdity of a female action hero who's just like beating up a bunch of men all at once.
Well, not even all at once because you notice the bad guys.
This happens in a lot of action films, but especially the ones where there's a female protagonist.
The bad guys, even though they're bad guys, they are at least polite and they have a good sense of sportsmanship.
So they only attack one at a time.
So there's a whole group of bad guys and they just take turns attacking the woman.
and then she, you know, knocks them each out with one punch to the head.
That's ridiculous enough as it is in any action film.
But then when you consider that she's a member of this superhero team
and everybody else, they have literal godlike powers.
And yet they have use for this 90-pound, five-foot-two blonde woman
because she can throw a punch better than your average blonde woman.
It doesn't make any sense. I'm sorry.
Professor Logo says, I like Matt a lot, but I feel like he's missing the part of the brain that allows people to have fun.
He's like this in response to anything that is just plain fun.
No, I think there are a lot of things that are fun.
I like fishing, for example.
I could list other things that I think are fun.
I'll get back to you on that in a moment.
But my issue here is that this actually is not fun.
You should not have fun watching superhero movies.
they're cynical. They're cynical in the way. Here's how they're cynical. In the way that they treat the audience,
okay, the way that they treat you. They just give you the same slop over and over and over again,
making no attempt to tell an interesting or different story, making no attempt at all,
just feeding you the same thing over and over again. Because they assume that you'll just come and watch it,
because you have no respect for yourself. And the really sad thing,
things that oftentimes their assumptions are correct.
Let's see, Dibs, Dibs says, not a fan of hers, Wonder Woman, but it's Themiskearin armor.
She has a healing factor and super speed.
Justice League was better with the bullet deflecting because Zach Snyder actually made her move that fast.
Okay.
Mavericks doesn't like what I said about the Hulk.
He says, the Hulk is so much more than that.
His powers are a reflection and consequence of him being abused by his father.
that anger and depression is what triggers him to transform into the Hulk with gamma rays.
And that's very adult and interesting.
No, it's not.
The man gets big and green and strong because he's mad at his father.
That's very adult and interesting.
Sorry, but no seven-year-old can make that up so easily.
That's exactly what a seven-year-old would make up.
That's what my point.
My point about the Hulk.
And yeah, he is one of the better superheroes, but that's not saying much.
You know, it's a low bar.
But he's also the kind of superhero that every seven-year-old boy just invents independently.
And then they discover that this already exists out there, at least in the fantasy world.
It's just a guy that gets big and green and strong.
That's all it is.
And so your suggest, you are trying to rebut that claim by me by pointing out that he only gets like that because he's angry at his parents.
I think you just proved my point.
I don't know.
But thank you anyway to all the nerds who responded to that video.
And I'll take your comments into consideration before I just dismiss them out of hand.
You know, with the price of literally everything skyrocketing,
there's never been a better time to get your finances in order.

Let's get to our daily cancellation.
Well, it only took a month, but finally, while I was away on vacation, the mainstream media,
deigned to acknowledge the existence of my film, What is a Woman, which is still available to watch,
by the way, at what is a woman.com.
In an article in the prestige scumrague New York magazine titled,
The Rights Dangerous Just Asking Questions, Anti-Trans Campaign is Working,
writer Malcolm Harris offers something of, I guess, a review of the documentary,
although, as we'll see, spends most of the time reviewing a version of the film that I didn't make, but which he wishes I had made.
So it begins with this claim. He writes, quote, over time, words change, stretched by the practicalities of real-world usage or our language evolves and warps.
It's an organic, unavoidable, and even auspicious process.
Now, we can already see the difficulty here.
Harris conflates warp and evolve as though the two are synonyms, but they're not.
And what could be more revealing than somebody on the left thinking that warp and evolve
are the same idea?
They're not at all.
What has happened to the word woman in modern times and so many other words besides that one
is an example of language being warped, but it's not an example of language evolving.
Okay, language evolves gradually, organically, in order to make meaning more clear in common usage.
But what's happened with the word woman has not been gradual, it has not been organic,
and it certainly has not made the meaning of the word more clear.
This is a top-down decree from people with institutional power,
simply declaring all at once that the word no longer means what humans for millennia thought it meant.
Not only that, but anyone who insists on the old meaning is subject to very very much.
various penalties. Okay, that's not language evolution. That's always a good hint, by the way.
When there's, when, when, when language has changed and there's, there are penalties put in place
for people who don't keep up with the change, that's a pretty good indication that it's not
actually evolution of language. Because evolution of language, natural evolution of language,
doesn't have its own law enforcement arm that goes with it. Okay. This, this is what it looks like when
language is forcibly warped. It's not what it looks like when language evolves.
Harris can't tell the difference between the two, and that's his first problem, though it's
certainly not his only one. Now, he continues, the new anti-trans documentary What Is a Woman,
begs its title question, not in the sense of suggesting it, but in the fallacious way of
assuming its own answer. Despite mountains of evidence, the movies producers and on-screen
guide, right-wing pundit Matt Walsh, do not believe that people can change their gender. Actually,
as Walsh reveals by the end, he doesn't accept that humans express gender.
at all. He handwaves at chromosomes once or twice, but he leans hardest on common sense. There are
boys and girls, men and women, males and females, penises, and vaginas. Mountains of evidence, he says.
Now, it should already go without saying that Harris never provides any of this evidence. There's a whole
mountain of it out there, supposedly, and yet he doesn't extract even one pebble from this mountain
and present it to us. There's no link, there's no citation, there are no examples. The
The mountain is invisible, it would seem.
But it's there, okay?
And it's really, really big, you guys.
But we just have to take his word for it as all.
Next, hilariously, you know, you heard me there, you heard him there, he chides me for
leaning hard on common sense, as if that's a bad thing.
We already know that using common sense is the ultimate sin, the great heresy on the
left.
You're not supposed to rely on common sense.
That is, you're not supposed to rely on the fundamental understanding of reality shared by
nearly everyone who's ever lived.
That's what common sense is. Instead, you're supposed to rely on the uncommon and insensible sense of guys like Malcolm Harris.
And yet, merely a sentence after accusing me of using common sense, accusing me of it,
Harris switches gears and declares that the film and all of my ideas about gender are rooted in religious precepts.
He writes, quote, by disguising a religious precept as a reasonable question,
Walsh and his team have set out to win new friends and encourage existing allies at the same time.
It's an effective strategy, and the majority of us who understand the factual existence of trans people can't afford to ignore them.
Matt Walsh is a Christian, and he believes that his God is the source of our shared single nature.
He also believes that his God is my God and your God and everyone's God.
Quote, God exists, God is existence, God is reality, God is permanent, inexhaustible unending.
God is identity. The origin of our own identity is found in God.
He writes in 2017s, the Unholy Trinity, blocking the left's assault on life, marriage, and gender.
transgenderism, as he calls it, always in scare quotes,
means that man achieves his final victory over truth and truth's God.
Okay, it's clear from what he might charitable,
well, we might charitably call his writings,
that Walsh is a Christian fundamentalist who is personally and professionally dedicated
to making sure God's law is law.
And yet, in his biggest, most prominent piece of content yet,
Walsh never talks about his God at all,
a curious omission in a movie about reality and identity.
Now, he goes on from here, continuing to,
a quote a book I wrote five years ago, calling me a religious fundamentalist. He mocks ideas like
transubstantiation. He calls fans of my movie my co-religionists. Now, I hate to say I told you so
to those conservatives who criticized my film for not having an explicitly biblical message,
but I told you so. It is strikingly clear from this New York Times, this New York Magazine article,
that the opponents of the film really wish that I had framed it in religious terms.
terms. They want our arguments on this topic to be entirely faith-based and biblical. They desperately
need us to be seen as making a religious case because they are making a religious case.
They want the war over biology to be a holy war, our religion against theirs. Then we can't
criticize them for being doctrinal and dogmatic because we're being the same way. We would all be in the
same boat, or maybe if not in the same boat, we would be in different boats floating on the
same sea. But there's no reason for us to play the game on those terms. I am a devoutly religious
person. I, of course, stand by everything I said in my book that he quoted there. All of that is
100% true. And I'm proud that I wrote it. And I'm glad that he quoted it. But that has absolutely
nothing at all to do with my conviction that women have babies and men don't. Okay? I didn't
learn that from my religion. And even if I didn't believe in my religion, I would still recognize
this truth, just as I would know that two plus two equals four, no matter if I was a Christian or a Hindu or a
Buddhist or an atheist. They are the religionists on this issue. The writer of this article so
badly needs to argue the matter on religious terms that he's simply inventing a religious
angle that doesn't exist in the film and arguing against that instead. So he's basically saying,
well, you didn't make it your argument religious, but I know that it's really religious,
so I'm going to argue against it as if it is.
Later, he writes, quote, what is a woman throws trans women's existence into question?
The form of inquiry can be divorced from its content, and to ask if trans women are really women
is not just asking questions, especially if a bigot deity has already told you the answer,
and especially if you're spending a pile of cash on advertising.
So there he is again, bringing God into a review of a film that, as he's,
admits, or rather laments, never mentions God at all, he also says that the movie throws trans women's
existence into question. Though, of course, I don't at all question the existence of people who
identify themselves as trans women. Those individual human beings do certainly exist. If they didn't,
there'd be no need for the movie. What I question are the claims those people make about themselves.
So the people exist, absolutely, but they make claims about the world and about themselves,
and some of those claims are incorrect.
That is my contention.
Just as I don't deny the existence of anorexics,
though I do deny the reality and factual validity of their self-perception,
specifically the perception of themselves as obese.
I deny that.
More from the article says,
If you press play on what is a woman, which I advise not doing,
with the accurate factual knowledge that some women are trans,
I have a hard time imagining anything Walsh has to offer will confuse you.
Anyone with some background on the topic knows that the anti-trans interviewees,
which include a hateful doctor, a regretful phalloplasty recipient,
and a sore loser cis student athlete are not representative figures.
So we have another gear shift here as he goes from admitting that the film is devastatingly effective.
I mean, he says so right in the headline,
to shrugging it off as sort of weak and irrelevant.
He also demonstrates how the transgender gives men license to say things about women that they would never get away with saying otherwise.
So here he just scornfully writes off a young woman who simply wants a fair playing field, calling her a sore loser.
That men can only talk about women and two women in that way in the context of the trans debate.
That's the only time that's ever allowed.
Then, after accusing me of deliberately inciting violence, he wraps things up this way.
He says, quote, if that's the anti-trans playbook, then Walsh is a player coach leading by example.
With what is a woman, they've spent millions to take the strategy to a new level.
The plan is working.
This year's Pride Month looks to have a casualty count.
If Walsh and his ilk are successful, next years will be higher.
They're begging for it.
Now, bucking the trend throughout most of the article, he does attempt to provide some evidence.
for the Pride Month Casualty Count claim.
So he links to an article in the Baltimore Sun from a few weeks ago about a Roe Home fire
in the city, which occurred across the street from where somebody allegedly burned a
pride flag.
And a few people were injured in the house fire.
Now, there's no known connection between the alleged flag burning and the house fire.
So again, it was across the street, they found allegedly a pride flag that had apparently been
burned.
And then on the other side of street, there was a house fire.
One did not cause or lead to the other as far as anybody knows.
No cause has been determined of either fire.
Nobody knows if the house fire was deliberate.
And if it was, we don't know why it was started.
So we know none of that whatsoever.
So there are about four or five leaps you'd have to make to connect the house fire to anti-LGB sentiment.
And then there's another one or two leaps to continue the connection all the way to my film.
Yet this is the best Harris can do.
It's not his fault.
It's very difficult to find real examples of actual anti-LGB violence
because it hardly ever happens.
That doesn't stop him from suggesting that there's an epidemic
of a type of violence for which he could not find even one confirmed example.
That, of course, is the common theme with Harris and his ilk.
The facts don't stop them.
They simply shout their bald assertions
and then cover their ears in case anyone shouts back.
That's why Harris, by the way, locked down his Twitter account and went to private as soon as his article was published.
That's how you know someone's really confident in what they wrote, right?
They publish it and they lock everything down and go hide.
And so, hiding under his bed, you know, he may not be able to hear me say it, but I must say it all the same.
