"Yes, I agree with one of the most evil people in human history, especially when you look at the effect that he's had on the culture. And yet, I mean, the kids against institute are still a thing. Indiana University. Right. And he's got a statue to him the whole thing. They make movies about it. They've made multiple recently Hollywood made multiple movies about him. And they either just ignore this stuff, or they cut a peppered over, they try to glance over it. But this is also an important point because when we say that a lot of the sex Ed in schools is grooming and the left gets very upset about that. Well, comprehensive sex education so called is based on Kinsey's ideas. He's the inventor of comprehensive sex education. And he was explicitly interested in grooming children for sexual behavior. It's what he believed. It's what he wanted to do, and he came up with these quote resources and these educational strategies to do that. So it's not just a conspiracy theory that they're grooming children with sex Ed. It's what it was invented to do. And has been doing for decades. This is a very difficult truth. For a lot of normal people to process. That there is a philosophical tradition that's over a hundred years old that is basically was clinically documented on child rape. Yeah. And that's so much of what the left benefits from is that some of what's much of what's happened in our culture is so horrifying that people don't want to believe that it's true. And so the left, they can do something, and then if you or I points out, hey, they're doing this thing. They can say, I would never do that. Are you crazy? That's disgusting. And the average person who's not paying that close attention would say, oh, yeah, well, they would definitely work doing that. Castrating children. It's not that bad. Liam Neeson played him in a movie. Come on. Exactly. Liam Neeson wouldn't play a bad guy. Right. And if someone did that, then they wouldn't have an institute named after them. Yeah, that's exactly there's no way that they're not bringing children into hospitals and doing genital mutilating them, shopping for us. Nobody would do that. That's crazy. Well, they are doing it. That's why so much so much of our job is actually raising awareness and just letting people know that this stuff is happening. I want to be respectful of your time, but mat I want to ask you, what did you learn by making the film? Because you were an expert before you made the film. You knew a lot of the facts. You've been doing this for years. You were ahead of the curve. You were talking about social conservatism well before I was and you deserve credit for that. What did you learn? Behaviorally, factually, what was your big takeaways in the making of this project? There's a lot of a lot that I knew already that was that was demonstrated to me. And there's a real value in that and demonstrating to people what they already know. So for me, there was a lot of that. The thing that if I learned something, it was just how pervasive these ideas are and how ubiquitous is this fundamental confusion because what I was not expecting is that when we would travel around the country and go out on the street and talk to normal people, yeah, I thought that we would if we talk to some blue haired 20 year old girl that we would get a lot of gender ideology stuff. But I thought naively, it turns out that, you know, you stopped some average guy. It looks like he's over 50. And you're going to get basic common sense from him. You ask him what's a woman, he's got a woman's, you know, she has breast. You get an answer like that. And that's not what happened. What we found is that the vast majority of people we talked to no matter, no matter their demographics, no matter how old they were, didn't matter race anything like that. They would start regurgitating to us these basically the same things we hear from the college professors. They didn't know that their regurgitating that, but that's what they were doing. And I found that shocking. Just how difficult it was, you know, in the film, portrayed as though I'm travel around the entire world and I can't get a straight answer. I finally get it for my wife in the kitchen. But that is, which I found to be hilarious. Of course, it's the kitchen. It's great. It's very sexist, of course, because she's in the kitchen. As I was told by the feminist. But that is actually what happened. We were desperately looking for people that would give us a straight answer. It was very difficult to find anyone. And so we have a lot more work to do, I guess, is what I learned. How do we defeat him? I think the first thing is to bring these truths to light to shed light on the darkness. That's our first, that's the first job. And the great thing is that if you do that, a lot of things start to happen on their own. It's like what we did in Tennessee with Vanderbilt. It was amazing. I know people on that board and you scared the crap out of them. Yeah, and all we did, all we did was just say, hey, look at what they're doing over here. And also trying a big light on it too. He did. And then the public kind of took it from there and spoke out. So I think shining a light of the darkness is a big thing. But then also we have to mobilize. The left for too long. They've been the ones mobilizing. They're very good at getting out into the street and being visible and being seen. And I think oftentimes the right kind of has a cynical attitude about that is I don't want to go around holding a sign. I have a job. I don't have time for that. And I understand that. But people need to see you. And also other people who agree with us need to know that they're not alone. Yes, that's exactly right. Events like that you put on all the time are very good at that, like letting people know you're not alone. Yes. But we have to bring that also out onto the streets. And totally agree. I mean, we should have peaceful protests outside of every one of these gender reassignment clinics regularly. Agree. Matt, I know you got to run. Thanks so much. Appreciate it. Thank you.

Matt Walsh on the Left's Wonky Theories of Absolute Truth
"For those people who don't know, Anthony Kennedy was the deciding vote at 91 92, right? Playing point of BKC, which very well could have struck a decisive vote against roe, and he has this incoherent psychobabble, where he's an otherwise pretty smart guy where he basically says every person in the modern world can define what they know to be truth in your own existence. It's something like that, right? I mean, it was, worse than that effect. Yeah, that meaning is what you make it in the modern world. And that's who we are as the modern, right? Versus the ancient post enlightenment. And he says, therefore, if you want to have an abortion, then it's right in your eyes and someone else that might not be right in your eyes. And so you're right, that there in your film, and this is the deeper philosophical. Part of this is who are we to say that if there's anything that is true, essentially they believe there is no absolute truth. But then if you ask them if they believe that absolutely, they would say, of course, of course, their rejection of absolute truth actually is absolutely true in their own belief. But where does that where does that come from? Because that really is the underpinning of it. That it must be just deconstructionist. It's resolution. I mean, it's yeah, it comes. In some ways, it's ancient. I mean, you could trace it all the way back to the Lucifer. You can change back to the guard of Eden if you want. And before that. In the film, we captured a few of these exchanges in the film, or we put it in the thumb but we couldn't put it all in. But I can remember maybe the most depressing experience I had doing the film, which says a lot, because there was quite a few depressing on how you didn't become a darker person because of that separation. I mean, what do you mean? It doesn't show. That's not true. But I can remember walking around the streets, doing the man the street thing in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and yes, the woman that you talk to, like, sorry. Yeah, and there's a couple exchanges that are in the film that are just kind of mind-blowing. One in particular where I asked the woman, she says, well, we all get our own truth. And I said, well, what if it was my truth that you don't exist? Does that mean you don't exist anymore? She said, yeah, that means I don't exist. There was another exchange that I don't think it made it in when I'm talking to some women on the same on the same stretch of road there. Same kind of conversation. And not because I took it there. This is just where they took it. So there is no truth. And we were standing right next to a lamp post. And I said, what if it's my truth that this lamp post doesn't exist? I'm touching the lamppost. Could I just walk through it? And they were a little bit stumped by that. I don't think that they exactly said yes, but they didn't say no either.

"And that's what people like. It's a low effort. You said something interesting. You said the left argues that language evolves, can you just make their argument for me because I find that interesting? I haven't really thought that. Well, they would, you know, they would point out that if you listen to the way people speak today, it's going to be different from the way people spoke. Old English versus. Yeah, or even in the 1940s, people use different words and words change. But and then even the rules of grammar can change slightly, gradually over time. But obviously not what this is. That's also, that's also it's a descriptive thing. So maybe people start using words a little bit differently, naturally. And then descriptively, it will end up in the language textbooks and the grammar textbooks. To reflect what people are doing, but this is, again, it's a top down thing. And the other thing too, is that it's one thing to change a word, you know, you could change a word, words are meant to their symbols that describe that stand for something, right? So it's a verbal symbol. And so you can use a different symbol to describe something. That's fine. But they're not just changing the word. They're trying to change our perception of what the word describes. So they're not just saying, let's use the word she to describe men now. They're saying, we want you to perceive that man as a woman. This is a fundamentally different thing. But they're doing it through the process of language. They're using an excuse of natural evolving language to actually do something completely different. Entirely different. And the problem is that many people on the right I think are certainly slow to pick up on this. And it can be difficult too. They're the obvious examples of language manipulation, but then the left has such a cultural monopoly now, especially on all of our institutions, academic institutions, that there are subtle examples of language manipulation that a lot of us never pick up on. And so we end up sort of surrendering the argument before it even begins just by the words. Well, on this topic, the prime example would be the word gender itself. The fact that we're using I even use the word genre. I fall for this all the time. Yeah. I use the word gender because it's just being imprecise or just sort of being kind of lazy. And people know what you mean, and so you use it, and I understand that. But when we use the word gender, we are whether we mean to or not, we are giving our assent to this idea that gender is another word apart from sex. And so we need the word gender because for whatever reason the word sex doesn't suffice. But in reality, that's not true. People have a sex, people don't have a gender. The idea that people have a gender is that's gender ideology, that's what it is. That's what the gender ideologues came up with in the mid 20th century. So that's what I want to kind of zero in on. I found this to be your film was terrific. And I mean that I'm a tough grader. I was one of the most powerful things I've seen in a while on any topic, and it was so persuasively done because it was so simple. We just go around and ask a question that should be, it really should have been a 5 minute film in a healthy society, right? You go find a bunch of people, what does a woman get an answer? Thanks everybody for watching, and have a nice day. Instead of this huge melodrama, you go to Africa and talk to that freak from it could have been a three and a half hour film. We had to cut it down. The editing room was really tough because there was. I told Jeremy, you guys should still release some of the edited clips because and I'm sure they would go viral because I can imagine that there was just so much when you went to women's march and all that. But one of the things I really appreciated about the film, which could be its own like 8 minute YouTube video is how you go from Kinsey and you go to all these different people of what they thought what they believed. And so I want to zero in what you just said and then we'll go to Kinsey and we'll go to the guy at the twins. I forgot his name. A money? Money. That's right. Which I found to be just breathtaking. Mid 20th century, they came up with this idea of gender. Who did and what was their philosophical justification for that? Well, it wasn't just one guy, but the guy that I would consider, not just me, but the most would consider the sort of The Godfather of gender ideology is John money. And he did coin some of these phrases like gender identity as a phrase comes from him. The idea of people having a gender distinct from sex is he was one of the pioneers of that idea. And he was a mid 20th century sexologist. In the kind of the same school of thought of Alfred Kinsey, but he had more of a focus on gender. And he believed that gender is entirely a social phenomenon. And so it's something that we kind of give to people. And so he thought that boys are boys because that's what we have decided as society that they are. And so if you take a boy and just tell him he's a girl, if that's society, what society tells him and it will reflect that. And the case that the infamous case that we talk a little bit about in the film, although this could be its own, it could be its own movie. Yeah, it could be. And should be, you know, someone to make it. But this was an infamous case where there was a twin twin boys and one of the they had a circumcision and for one of the boys it was horribly botched and they essentially burned his penis off. And parents didn't know what to do about this. And so they were watching TV one day, they see John money saying all these things about how gender is a social construct. You can make someone whatever gender you want. And they go to him and he tells them, well, just we'll do a seat surgery, and you'll simply raise the boy as a girl. And that's exactly what they tried to do. But it didn't take. It didn't hold because I wonder why. Because he's testosterone and somehow he's still a bully even. That's exactly right. And then he committed suicide or something terrible. Somebody did, right? But both of the brothers ended up early deaths in adulthood. Eventually, the brother that was transitioned decided to transition back when he was in adolescence early teens. And he tried to he eventually got married and he tried to get his life together, but just what had been done to him by John money. And he also brought the twins in and did these sexually abusive experiments. The whole story is absolutely horrifying. But he ruined these two boys and they both ended up in adulthood killing themselves..

Brought to you by the loan experts I trust, Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific mortgage at Andrew and Todd dot com. Everybody welcome to this episode. Matt Walsh is with us. So Matt, why should we push back against using people's preferred pronouns? Well, because it's not, it's the left trying to force us to participate in a lie. And that's really what it comes down to. It's become the pronoun thing has become this kind of symbolic ritual, you know, they say, well, it's about being inclusive, but it's actually, it's more of a, it's like a forced conversion, especially when people in schools are forced to get to do it when you start seeing in the workplace and all that sort of thing. It's like, it's as if it's the unholy satanic version of a secular workplace that requires everyone to do the sign of the cross. It's like this symbolic religious ritual, which is what the pronoun exchange has become. But what you're actually doing, even if it's just symbolic, is that you are participating in a falsehood. And you just can't do that. You got to draw the line somewhere. And I think that's got to be the line. Where did the pronoun thing come from? Like, was there an academic paper? Was there a philosopher that all of a sudden said, hey, no one ever asked no one ever cared, but now we have to put pronouns and email signatures. I mean this completely curiously. I have no idea where this came from. It just appeared out of nowhere. Like, oh, like manna from heaven, here's the pronoun. It feels like it appeared out of nowhere, but I think it's an outcropping of gender ideology, which came into its, you know, you could trace it back as far as you want to. Yeah, of course. And you've done a fabulous job of that in your film. Yeah, and Carl Truman wrote a book called the rise in trying for the modern of the modern self, which if anyone hasn't read that book, have you read that book? I have not. You got to read that book. It's an incredible book. And he takes this idea. He sort of says, we live in a society now where a man can say, I'm a woman trapped in a man's body, and that makes sense to people. People think it makes sense. And how did we get to a point where that statement seems to make sense to people intuitively? And he traces all the way back to its philosophical origins 203 hundred years ago. Sure. But I think if you could choose the middle of the 20th century as the time when gender ideology in its current form took shape. And then the pronoun stuff, you know, that was part of this move. I don't know, 7 or 8 years ago when all these things that already existed in academic circles exploded onto the mainstream and I think it was all kind of part of that. It's so obviously a manifestation of a societal sickness. I'm just curious of, was there a concerted effort or was just one of those things where they just started to do it at oberlin and it just kind of caught on. They're like, oh yeah, that's a cool idea. Let's do that. It's kind of an attachment onto how tyrannical and radical we've been. I think it's that. I think in that sense it is sort of caught on in a way organically, I suppose. I hesitate to say that because if we say that, then it makes it sound like there's popularity behind it, so it also makes it sound like we're buying into the left's claim that the pronoun stuff it's an evolution of language and language evolved. No, of course. But this is not the evolution of language. I mean, language can evolve in words can change, and that sort of thing. But what we're seeing now is the kind of top down prescriptive change where the elites are imposing it on us and saying, you have to start speaking this way. And if you don't, there's going to be consequences. That's not language evolution. That's language engineering. And that's propaganda. That's my perfect example is pronouns one thing, but take something like something absurd like this LatinX LatinX. Yeah, and this is you can see where the Hispanic community doesn't want it. They have no interest in this. And yet the left keeps shoving it down their throats, maybe ten years from now, will do a poll and a majority of Hispanics, especially younger spags, will say, oh yeah, I identify as Latin LatinX. And then with the left will claim, as you see, language evolved. No, it didn't evolve. You forced this through this campaign of propaganda for decades. You finally got people to the point where they accept it, but that's not language evolution. That's manipulation that's engineering. Yeah, that was the word I was like generational engineering. It's like feeding an entire generation kale and like, well, do you want cheeseburgers? No, we only want. I actually never even tasted it. You have no idea how good it could be. So that's just so interesting because we've lived in a society that has changed so gradually then suddenly to use a Hemingway quote. And the pronoun thing what bothers me the most about it is how good people seem to feel when they put it on either their email signature or their social media profile, there is a virtue signal part of this. That is that's almost religious. It is religious and it's what's the whole point of a virtue signal is that it's something that takes requires no effort on your part, but it's sending it's kind of a bat signal out to the woke authorities that you're on their side. So it's a low effort. It's just like posting when they did the black square or whatever, the Ukraine flag. The current thing meme. It's just a version of that. And the whole point of virtue, it's something that doesn't require really anything of you. In a certain sense, in another sense, it actually requires quite a lot of you because it requires you to basically give up your soul to surrender your soul to them and to say that I'm going to go along with a lie because you tell me to. So that actually is something quite significant, but in terms of effort, there's not a lot of effort there..

Amanda Milius on the Need for Conservative Political Cinema
"Is exciting. I don't know if he can bring tectonic change because without free and fair social media, we simply do not have free and fair elections. People don't read newspapers anymore. It is social media that is crucial. However, talk to me about, are you seeing any positive signs that conservatives are starting to understand and focus on the skill sets of communication of what you do, that touching the heartstrings with the truth that we know to be eternal, or are we still in the initial stages? I look at your work. I look at dinesh's 2000 mules. I look at Matt Walsh's, what is a woman? And I see great products, but I see three films out of 3000, how much of an uphill battle will this be and does the right even begin to understand what you are doing? Well, yeah, I mean, especially since two of the ones you mentioned are more like homework assignments, you know, where it's like, we have some news. They can't get out of the idea that there's some news or political argument that they want to make. And so they just put it on video, ignoring all the craft of cinema and of controlling and manipulating emotions through the visual arts. And then they just, really, they're more like videos, very expensive videos. So, and I say this not because, you know, I don't believe in competitiveness amongst the conservative filmmakers. I believe in more voices, not less. And I believe we need an industry. So there must be more companies than just mine. But I don't see so I've heard this. I've heard this for 5 years now from the likes of Andrew Cleveland. We have to build. We have to build our ecosystem. Andrew clavin has never been to an art school, or maybe even an art museum in his life. I'm never in film school and has no idea what a good film. Like, that's the thing. Don't bash Andrew here. The problem is, it's like these people. The point I want to make is, a, do we want to build an alternative universe? And B we have to. But who's going to fund it? I don't see that. Billionaire. I agree. And that's the issue, and I've had a very surprising interaction with a handful of thunders. Surprising not so good because they are more fearful of the culture war than they are of the political war, which is crazy. But yeah, so I think that's been a little bit disappointing. What does that mean? Well, it means that they're like, you know, a little bit more skittish about what does that mean for us? For the nation. It's not good.

The Left's Child-Mutilating Death Cult With Terry Schilling
"Another piece of tape here, NBC's brandy zadrozny blames Matt Walsh and libs of TikTok for the increase in violence against the gay community. So it's somehow Matt's fault and Elon's fault and libs of TikTok and shows like ours fault because we're really concerned that children are going to be medically mutilated and lied to by their teachers and these groomers. Play cut 59. Content moderation is a hard task. What we know is that Twitter and where the bulk of this information is right now because that's where the biggest accounts like Matt Walsh and lives of TikTok again where they sort of post this stuff. What's being done? Well, two days ago, we know that Elon Musk, who owns Twitter now. He just reversed the policy that Twitter did have against targeting and harassment of LGBTQ people against misgendering transgender people. So that narrative continues Terry any other thoughts. Yeah, look, I want to skip to the versions because that's what this is. They are the ones committing violence against transgender people or as I would describe them people with gender dysphoria. We need to hold them accountable for the violence and the destruction that they are inflicting on our brothers and sisters on our children. They are destroying their lives. They are creating sexually destroyed people that won't be able to have families that won't be able to have sexual gratification down the road. These are evil people and that's called projection. They are projecting their own guilt onto us because they know that they are the ones that are destroying our kids. They're the ones that are making these people unhappy. And you know why they're doing it because there's power behind it because there's money behind it. This big pharma companies, these surgeons, they're all on camera now, talking about how much money they're making. They're the evil ones. We're the good ones. Don't relent. We have to keep fighting.

"That can service the country from there. FTX started offshore. And so we're talking about a market structure that was really interesting from an investor standpoint for a long time because you had companies like coinbase and kraken that were playing by the rules in the United States, but had frankly just inferior products because they couldn't offer leverage that could offer the derivatives that were offered on FTX. FTX was not regulated by anyone. I mean, I've seen Sam's tweets that, hey, we're a regulated entity. FTX, the offshore entity was really not. I mean, there were operating in a wild west for a very, very long time. They were trying to come under a CFTC umbrella trying to get repatriated to the United States. But they had not done that. And we'll see, I think, how far along that path they were. But this really created this bad environment if your coinbase and kraken because you have all eyes on you, crack in and coinbase were getting dinged left and right for seemingly like pretty minor things, but the CFTC. You know, offering margin on spot. Things that, okay, you're not supposed to do, but hey, take a look at FTX and their servicing U.S. customers, tons of U.S. retail is on FTX offshore. Meanwhile, coinbase and kraken are getting slapped everything they do. It's a very difficult environment. I give a lot of credit to Jesse Powell and Brian Armstrong for building their businesses as strongly as they did in that environment. The eris X team give them a lot of credit for building a regulated exchange that played by the rules in the face of just a kind of a wild west offshore entity that meanwhile was getting investment from SoftBank and Sequoia and was having meetings with Gary gensler, apparently. It's really crazy. So what these regulations have prevented. The issue do you think? would have prevented it, right? So it was known that U.S. customers were on FTX. And so regulators in the United States could have taken action against them on that basis that there were knowingly servicing U.S. customers. They issued a token, FTT, which is an unregistered security. And so you would think that that would be kind of the heart of an examination here around what the SEC could have done better. You're allowing an entity that, okay, it's not registered in the United States. It's offshore, but it's mostly U.S. people mostly servicing U.S. people and institutions, and they just issued this unregistered securities offering. And they were able to go out to a number of financial services firms and use that as a form of collateral to get U.S. dollar and stablecoin loans against. So the surface area here for things that regulators should have been paying attention to is really large. Meanwhile, they're going after a library of credits and Kim Kardashian. It's really hard to reconcile. So by the way, we're reading not supposed to be able to trade on FTX as U.S. citizens. It's supposed to block us in the same way binance does. Yes. What? Yes. The hell? Yeah, you're not supposed to be able to trade on FTX the primary venue as a U.S. human. And why is that? You're saying not just spot trading, but you can't do anything. It's an unlicensed derivatives exchange. It's what big Meg has got in trouble for being. Yeah, I mean, they had to be clear, I think, FTX had geo blocked the U.S. at various points. And so I think people were accessing largely via VPN. That is my understanding. And in the later years, you wouldn't be able to get on boarded there unless you had an offshore sub, which was fine. That's how people were doing it. But yeah, they were servicing U.S. customers and a lot of them. Honestly, I just thought that there was FTX U.S. and normal FTX. And everyone in the United States was like, I'll just go use the FTX normal version because it's better and more powerful. And for some reason that that was just legal. I never really thought that they were actually supposed to ban U.S. customers in the same way. I guess like binance and all the other exchanges were. But now in hindsight, it makes total sense. It just seems like the regulators just took the biggest blind eye of all time. I think they did. I think they did a judgment that it would be difficult to go after FTX, they had a huge war chest. They had some really large backers. And they said, this is going to be a tough fight to win. We're already have a fight going with ripple, which ripple seemingly has endless amounts of capital to spend on lawyers and their defense. They have a big case there. And it's a lot easier to go out and take down a fraudulent ICO. Look, the list of fraudulent ICOs that still haven't been prosecuted in the United States, what four or 500 of them probably. And so you could spend the next three years just going after them and never picking the big fight with FTX. And then you had Sam, who was donating a lot of money to democratic causes, and then you had someone who works for him, donating to Republicans. So there's sort of greasing both sides and they're saying the right things are saying they want it to be compliant. And so my guess is that there was a decision that, look, there's just easier cases to win right now. Like, let's go take down library credits. So the conclusion that I've kind of taken as a result of this. And I was listening to Brian Armstrong on the all in podcast, talk about how he was kind of measuring up coinbase to FTX and he knew that coinbase had some amount of revenue and FTX had that amount of revenue. Yeah, FTX and Sam were able to buy anything and everything under the sun and also donate $7 million, $70 million to Democrats and slap their name on the arena in Miami and try and buy Twitter, help Elon Musk buy Twitter and Brian from coinbase was like, I just couldn't, the math didn't check out as to where all these funds were coming from. And now that we're starting to see some of the size of the whole, the FTX had, as far as I'm concerned, mat I want you to check on this is like FTX was just Sam bankman freed slush fund to score points and do cool things that he was treating the world as a video game. And he was treating FTX as like his inventory to navigate that world. And it was just his slush fund to do whatever the hell he wanted. So that's what I think. I mean, I think there's clear on Shane proof that coin metrics and Lucas Nazi discovered in Q two around the transfer of FTT tokens between the entities. And so at minimum we know that that's when it started. I think it's a very strong possibility that it was run off of customer funds even before that. But I think on chain, you can see in Q two and I feel pretty confident about that. I think the question of where was Sam getting all this money is going to get a lot of scrutiny in the years to come. And so he made a $500 million investment into Robinhood out of an entity that he controls. And so if you're an investor in FTX, I guess we'll find out, did Sam sell common stock? Did he take a secondary and take money off the table? Was it $500 million? Was it a billion? And if he did not, then where did you think the money was coming from? And my guess is that a lot of people thought that it was coming from Alameda. So he owns 90% of L Anita and he's probably taking big distributions off of the prop shop, which raises two questions. One, what's the potential conflict there? And do we like that as investors in FTX? Do we like the fact that this guy is making way more money off of a business that we're not even investor investors in? And is he going to optimize for that? And the second question it raises is what the hell is our exit strategy? Obviously, we can't go public if we have the structure. So how are we going to get liquid liquid on this thing? Is it going to be FTT tokens? Can this company go public? So it raises a lot of questions. I mean, he had a $500 million LP venture capital book Sequoia altimeter multi coin. I mean, there was a lot of money

"Here's a big question on our minds. Where were the adults? All of this FTX stuff was going down. SPF seemed to get away with murder, this happened under a lot of people's noses, David, that's going to be the subject today. I think we're on a mini theme this week. I guess back with a vengeance as crypto gets its breadth a little bit. And we're asking this very important question in the aftermath of the FTX collapse. How did this happen? Where were the adults? Who do we have on today? And what are we about to discuss? Yeah, we're bringing on Matt Walsh from castle island ventures, the castle island podcast, and a little known fact, a little known secret. The bank list Friday weekly roll up was actually inspired by the castle islands podcast Friday, weekly roundup. David means stole. We still got to do that. Sorry. But Matt and Nick over at that podcast, it's like a breath of fresh air, quite frequently. It's just informed experienced people talking like adults and adult things. Matt used to work at fidelity. Yeah. Man. Crypto fidelity for a while. Right. And so the broader question is like, yeah, where the hell, why did we as an industry just allow Sam to use FTX as a slush fund? And I think Matt just brings some really just seasoned and experienced perspective to the table. And in crypto, when things are just insane, all of the time, I think we lose sight of how insane some of this stuff we do is. And so I mean, Matt pissed. He wrote an article that I was pretty sure titled. I'm pissed. And what we're going to do about it. And so I want to just bring that on to get his perspective as to how crazy some of this stuff was. And how we move on from here. Yeah, that's the big question. How did we let these drug addle children mismanage 10 billion worth of funds, right? And become friends with our senators represent us in D.C. and give us a major black eye and what can we learn from this episode? So I'm hopeful Matt as always gives us a breath of fresh air as we talk to him. Guys, we'll be right back with the rest of this episode, but before we do, we want to thank the sponsors that made this possible.

Welcome bankers nation, today we're bringing on Matt Walsh. Welsh is a GP at castle island VC and also, like I said in the intro, the co host of the on the brink podcast. And I would once again consider Matt unadult, which is apparently something this industry is in a short supply of Matt, welcome to banquets, my man. Thanks for having me, David and Ryan, it's great to be on big fan. Cheers, man. Dude, are you pissed? Are you angry? I am pissed. I mean, I've gone through so many levels of being an upset about this over the past few days. I mean, I'm pissed from a lot of different reasons. I mean, I spend my entire day listening to entrepreneurs that are trying to build great things that protect people's sovereignty over their money, protect people sovereignty over their data. And I just feel like this is a black eye for everyone. You know, I run a business in this space. I'm getting questions from people that think the whole industry is over. So I'm pissed that we allowed it to get to this point, frankly. Who are you most mad at? Who's at fault for this? I think the clearly the Sam and the extended group of people that perpetrated this fraud are to blame. I mean, there was a critical decision here along the way to take money from FTX from the customers and put it into his own prop shop. And so whenever that decision was made, there was a line that can't be crossed, and it was crossed. And unfortunately, it's one of how many of these were going to do. This is just the latest and greatest exchange heist. It's the biggest one we've ever had. But we're not immune to this and the crypto industry. And I just can't believe we're still doing it. Do you think that the social layers to blame it all beyond Sam, which is an obvious villain? I mean, not all stories have obvious villains, but I think it's pretty safe to see as to say after everything that's been revealed so far, we have an obvious villain in the story. But how about maybe those that let it happen? Does the entire crypto industry have a role here? Are there other parties more responsible than are there some more responsible than others? I think look, there's blame everywhere. And there's a lot of different pockets. I think you can, let's talk about the investors, though. To start. And I think the investors that are in this deal are going to get a lot of heat. And I think some of that is going to be unwarranted, but some of that is going to be certainly warranted. It's not, it's unfortunately not uncommon to have fraudulent things happen in the venture capital industry. You know, you invest in a company and CEO ends up embezzling money or CEO ends up having an affair and it's a scandal. I mean, that type of stuff happens. Unfortunately, in this industry, there's been sort of this temptation to say, well, crypto is different. We just need to trust this new market structure and go with it. And so that has led to things that just would never happen in the world of financial services. And so where I think a lot of blame has to be laid is the people that allowed this market structure to grow. If you look at traditional financial services, we learned in the late 1920s that owning a prop shop and owning an exchange was a massive conflict of interest that would result in taking capital from one entity and putting it in the other. We learned this in the 1920s. The Great Depression was a great learning experience for the way financial markets work. And so there's been a bifurcation of roles in traditional financial services such that by now you can not have a proprietary trading arm owning an exchange. It's a blatant conflict of interest. This was happening during the

Sen. Marsha Blackburn: Protesting Mutilation Surgeries on Minors
"Are in Nashville with our good friend Matt Walsh. I was really surprised by the turnout at that rally as you're standing up and protesting these medical mutilation surgeries. Yeah, and what we have to realize is that there are puberty blockers there are other drugs that there is cross hormone therapy that is being given to minor children. These surgeries are being provided being given to minor children. And we have a society has an understanding time. Then until a child is fixing they can't drive they can't vote till they're 18. They can't buy alcohol and tobacco until they are 21 and we do that because you know that children's brains are developing that they can not make those decisions and should not be forced to make those decisions. And yet, here you have those that are big supporters of all of this gender therapy and transition therapy who think that children as young as ten, 11, should be able to decide for themselves they want to have these surgeries.

Let the Wave Begin Today
"We've lost our ever loving minds. And I feel like this election is not just a said this in the first hour. I feel as though it is not just a governmental statement like, hey, we want better policies. I think it is a desire to elevate people who are going to try through legislation and their own example in their own logic and their own bully pulpits. To try to just retrieve some level of sanity? One of the most important Americans speaking and writing and talking today and making appearances is Matt Walsh on Twitter, I guess, as Matt Walsh blog, and he went out to he was somewhere in Wisconsin. And of course, was viciously protested because when I was in college, a 112 years ago, college campuses were hotbeds of free speech. They were places. That was where you went to hear all sides of something so that you could make up your mind. All sides were welcome. I was actually at the university of Maryland during the Carter administration. And fresh off of Watergate. So my heavens, there were all kinds of opinions flying thick and fast. We had just extricated ourselves from Vietnam, so all kinds of opinions were flying thick and fast. And it was great. It was wonderful. And this is what Democrats used to care about a variety of opinion. Welcoming all voices to the table, no more, no more. And I think this election is somebody said, not long ago, who thought we'd wake up one day and the Republicans would be the cool people fighting for free speech and battling to let all voices be heard, and the Democrats would be the jerks and the fascists trying to shut people down. Who thought that would happen? Well, it has. And maybe this election is a response to that as well. Let the wave begin. And if there's early voting where your state is, then go be a part of that wave to day.

Charlie Welcomes Michael Walsh, Editor of 'Against the Great Reset'
"Joining us now is Michael Walsh, author of against the great reset, 18 theses contra the new world order with contributions from Victor Davis Hanson Douglas Murray, roger Kimball, Angelo codo villa May he rest in peace. James poulos, Conrad black, Michael Anton, David Goldman, Janice, John tyranny, Harry Stein, and more and edited by Matt Walsh. That's a really great list. My goodness. Michael Walsh, welcome to the program. Hey, thanks, Charlie. Good to see you again. Yeah, you too. Tell us about your book. Well, it's not edited by Matt Walsh. She said it by Michael balls. I have a problem being confused. I'm sorry. I say it so often, so I apologize. I know you do. My young colleague, the idea behind the book is a direct attack on the great reset. And I know Charlie, you've talked about it a lot and many of our colleagues and conservative movement have talked about it. But very briefly, it's an idea that arose at the World Economic Forum in Davos Switzerland. It's been kicking around for some years now and generally on the left. It's been dismissed by our ideological opponents as a conspiracy theory. And yet the World Economic Forum under the direction of Klaus Schwab is quite open about their ambition for the world, which is to put it in a nutshell, you will own nothing and be happy. So as we said, as I say, the introduction to this book, this is our salvo opening salvo against Davos against the great reset against Schwab against their plutocrats who would keep all of us to basically confined to high rise buildings, driving electric cars, whether if they allow you to have them, and of course eating bugs instead of beef because after all, cows are killing the planet.

How to Fight Back Against the Woke Mob
"Now, you know, a lot of the conversations that we're having surrounding cultural and politics right now are dealing with the idea of cancel culture that people can come after you, ruin your livelihood, deplatform you, ostracize you from your community just for simply having a set of values that is dissident to theirs. And this can be a really scary thing for people. And if I wasn't in the position that I'm in doing the work that I'm doing, where I'm sort of safeguarded from cancel culture by nature of being in the conservative space, I think I might have a little bit of fear in giving my opinions as well. It's a very pervasive problem that we're dealing with today, but I wanted to highlight somebody who chose not to bow down to the woke mob and chose to stand up for himself, and that is Matt Walsh. I'm sure many of you are familiar with him. He works at the daily wire for those of you who don't know him. And he recently went through a spell of being accused of something very heinous on the Internet. And that's being accused of being a pedophile. How did this come about? Well, a video that he did an interview when he was in his 20s came out from a group called media matters, a group that essentially scrubs through every single conservative personalities interviews and videos to find something salacious about them and post it on the Internet and blast it to the world. And they found a clip of Matt Walsh, saying that women are most fertile in their ages of 17 to their early 20s in this video goes viral. And of course, the video is just Matt Walsh stating what is a simple fact and I'm a woman who will reinforce that fact to you today. Women are most fertile in that age period. Now, the left took that and said, Matt Walsh is a pedophile, he wants to impregnate 17 year olds in 16 year olds even though Matt Walsh has a wife that is similar to him and age, and he has multiple children with that wife, and I don't think he is looking for any 16 year olds, but nonetheless, people ran with this narrative, and Matt Walsh is a pedophile was trending all over the Internet. Now,

Matt Walsh Takes on Protestors at the Univ. Of Illinois
"I'm reporting to you about Matt Walsh, the daily wire, speaking at the University of Illinois urbana. Standing room only I'm happy to hear. He has made this excellent documentary. What is a woman? And their protesters outside screaming against him, and he says if there's any hill worth dying on, it's the hill of objective truth. I did not know if he was religious. I would have bet serious amount of money that he is. The fighters for objective truth today are overwhelmingly religious Christians. And Jews. I just want to remind you folks on the Jews issue that I'm a religious Jew and. Ben Shapiro who is the head of daily wire. Is a religious Jew. Religious Christians and Jews will either save this country or they won't.

"Now, if you've seen what is a woman from daily wire, you would know that some of the drugs used in puberty blocking and hormone therapy are actually chemically castrating drugs that are used against evil evil criminals. And chemical castration is removing somebody's ability to reproduce. They tell them all the time these kids that this is a reversible thing that, hey, puberty blockers, it's just a little blockage. And then as soon as you want to remove that blocker and begin your puberty, if you want to change your mind and you don't want to transition, you could just stop taking the blockers and you'll be fine. I feel like anybody with common sense knows that that's probably not the case. So then Matt Walsh says, but they must have forgotten to delete a video from Vanderbilt psychiatry's YouTube channel back in 2020, which admits explicitly that they will give and have given. Irreversible hormone drugs to children as young as 13. So then Matt Walsh says, after they've drugged and sterilized the kids, Vanderbilt explains in this video presentation by plastic surgeon Julian Winokur and a physician's assistant that they then happily perform double mastectomies on get this adolescent girls like Chloe. Matt Walsh then says so let's review. Vanderbilt got into the gender transition game admittedly in large part because it is very financially profitable. Then they'd threatened any staff member who objected and enlisted a gang of trans activists to act as a surveillance in order to force compliance. They now castrate sterilize and mutilate miners as well as adults, while apparently taking steps to hide this activity from the public view. This is what healthcare has become in modern America. That is insane in the membrane. I think the big lesson here, and this is what I really love in so many different political issues. We look at this from a big national level or even global and we say this is so intimidating. We can't handle this. But this one instance is a good reminder that when we focus on what's in our own backyard, we can have profound impact.

"matt walsh" Discussed on The Morgan Zegers Show
"Much or learn enough I should say about the 19th, 20th, 21st century and the rise of radical leftism. So now they have these rose colored glasses on when they look at the workforce numbers of, for example, the Soviet Union, or any of the other socialists and communist countries over the last handful of decades, and they say, look at how equal women were treated back then. It's like, yeah, the government just needed more people to force into the factories and perform basically forced labor. That's not very empowering. I don't care how equal the numbers are. It doesn't mean that there was any human dignity at all, and it certainly wasn't done to empower women, all right? They just were the government decided, you know what? We can't be treating women very special anymore. It's time to just bring them all down a peg. Make them all work in the factory, right? So I think it's pretty crazy that this, why women have better sex under socialism book literally makes the case for women being empowered more under socialist and communist countries and then has to actually add an asterisk in the book to say, PS, this was not done to empower women, but we're still looking at the numbers, and it looks good on paper. So I guess I kind of went on a little rant there. But it just always makes it so interesting to me to see even modern American women today talk about ending their lineage and ending the life of a child that could be born and raised up in their care all because of financial reasons. That makes me really, really sad. It's like we forgot what really matters. I mean, if you look at it at the most basic level, we've forgotten what really matters in life. Why do we even go to work? Why do we even try to earn money? It's to pay for things, right? It's to pay for a roof over our head. It's to pay to live and to pay off all of our expenses that we have to get by and to do the things that we love and to do the necessities as well. But what does it all for if it's not to extend and add to our lives in ways that are beyond material reasons? I don't know. It's just really sad. We're so short sighted with how well we could earn a lot more money and we could be in a much better financial place if we didn't have children. It reminds me of, I've got to find it. I just saved it on Instagram, but remember David hogg that teenager from the Florida shooting that now is like a progressive activist. He tweeted something, not about guns or anything. But he tweeted recently on September 19th. He said, I'm never planning on having kids. I would much rather own a Porsche and have a Portuguese water dog and golden doodle. Long-term it's cheaper, better for the environment and will never tell you that it hates you or ask you to pay for college. It just makes me really sad. I mean, I look at this and to be honest, I'm not interested in now trying to convince David hogg to want children. I'm not interested in trying to change his world perspective, right?

Chris Elston Is Standing Against the Mutilation of Young Transkids
"Give me some examples of what's on the billboards that you are carrying to these events. Sure. My main message is children can not consent to puberty blockers. These are drugs that stop their bodies from going into puberty. With the logic that if you're 14 year old young girl, if you're a 15 year old young boy raging hormones, that time of life we've all been through, consent just simply does not apply to somebody who hasn't reached the majority age. And as a result, the idea that a child can knowingly say yes, I understand the consequences of having my breast cut off or being castrated as a boy is impossible. Yes, I never mind the 14 and 15 year olds. They're giving these to 9 and ten year olds. Tanner stage two is the beginning phase of puberty. And that's when the endocrine society and the American academy of pediatrics recommends this. So these children literally believe that a big fat man travels at lightning speed across the sky like Matt Walsh said comes down there to me and these presents. What is a woman? So he's the analogy he made that in front of a Doctor Who performs these transgender operations, which are nothing. They are mutilation, they're nothing to do with transitioning. This is being done to children who are knowingly deciding at the same time that they believe in Santa Claus. Yes, blocking puberty at 9 or ten years old, cutting off the breasts of girls as young as 12 years old has happened. It happened at a Kaiser permanente in Oakland, California. We have kellan Lockhart on video admitting to it. We'll talk about what's going on in California. So tell your story, I'm getting really angry right now. I couldn't do what you do. Within 60 seconds, I'd be arrested for assault with these people who are promoting the mutilation of children. So again, I commend you for what you do, Chris.

The Power of a Trump Endorsement With Kevin McCullough
"Were just talking about something when we went to the break. So a lot of people were staying, you know, he hacks too much in his own self interest. I haven't seen that. In the 2022 cycle, he has campaigned selflessly kind of the way former presidents do using his power to help get people elected. But the difference is he has the opportunity to not only get them elected this year, but to help them get policies through for the next couple of years. And then run as their nominee in 2024. Now, he may get to 2023 and say, you know what? I just don't want to, I'm tired. I don't want to do it anymore. That may be a decision he makes. And if he does, he should be afforded that. But if he wants to take the mantle of the 2024 banner for the people that he has helped get elected, this election cycle, and all the people that voted for him in 2020. It is his decision to make. It says his decision to accept or to decline. And I don't think anybody else Matt Walsh Ben Shapiro anybody else has any business telling what to do.

Should Donald Trump Run Again? Kevin McCullough Weighs In
"McCullough, what is on your heart? What do you think about? Here's a question. Let's start here. There are plenty of people and I hear them who say, ah, I don't think Donald Trump should run for president in 2024. We should get behind desantis or something. Strong preference. Would be that Trump would run. He would win and then desantis can have two terms after that. We've got a deep bench. We don't need to put desantis out there now. I believe Trump deserves a second term because I actually believe he was elected to a second term in 2020. And so what do you say to people who are already in a way being cowardly with regard to Trump? Oh, he's divisive. He's divisive. Yes, that's why he's effective because he's not afraid to speak the truth. Well, it's interesting that you started out with proclaiming my predictive power in the past because I missed 2020 according to the experts and according to the statisticians. Pretty badly. But if dinesh d'souza's film is true, if half of what they were able to prove in with true the vote is true, then I got that. I got that election called probably Kevin. There is zero question that you got it. And it's not about you, obviously. And the thing about hero question. But the thing about dinesh is film. And I want everyone to hear this. 2000 meals, the interesting thing about this, and you were lucky enough to be in it. They set the standard with true the vote in terms of how they did the data. At ten times what would be necessary to prove in court. Ten times the legal standard is what they set the threshold at. And even at that threshold, they proved that the election was taken from Donald Trump lawfully. Unlawfully. So this is really what's coming up in the next now, what is it 85 days? I think we are away from the November election is really, really important to me. And I appreciate you having me back to talk about this. Look, I've been seeing these very comments you're talking about. Matt Walsh, people writing in the hill, other people at the daily wire. There's others that are already out there saying, well, if Trump really wanted to do the best thing possible, he should get out there and campaign for people, and he should wave the flag, but not choose to run himself. And here's my statement in I wrote about this two weeks ago in town hall. Stop. This man got more votes than any sitting incumbent president in the history of the country. Nobody's ever come close to as many incumbent votes for reelection as he did. It doesn't matter what Joe Biden got. I don't think anybody thinks that the votes that came in for Joe Biden were legit. But Donald Trump, you know that he earned every vote that he got.

The Massive Lie Living Over Our Society Right Now
"There is a massive lie that is living over our society right now. And the lie is somehow that children teenagers need to have sexual reassignment surgery or puberty blockers. Now, most of the sexual reassignment surgery in puberty blockers is administered to young girls. Why? We talked about this last evening with Steve smotherman at his church legacy church, young girls in particular, more likely to succumb to peer pressure, and also they're more likely to voice and also, let's say, communicate anxiety when it comes to puberty. It's a clinical fact. And the TikTok social contagion, which again, I've said for quite some time, TikTok is a virus on society, and that no parent should allow their kid to first have a smartphone until they're 18, but I've lost that battle and that's fine. Parents disagree parents want their kids to have smartphones. I think they're terrible, but okay. But then at the very least, don't allow to have TikTok on your kids phone. There is no argument for that period. And so this kind of idea of transitioning and changing your gender has become glamorized and popularized. And as beautifully articulated in Matt Walsh's movie, what is a woman? A lot of young girls when they're 1213 or 14, they're going through body changes, hormones are ranging, raging, they're feeling things that are felt before, and therefore they think incorrectly that they might actually be a man when in fact they are a girl becoming a woman. And this is not just some sort of isolated phenomenon. This is a widespread social contagion.

Google's Shadow Operation to Kill Gendered Language With Allum Bokhari
"Let's just kind of talk more broadly about Google right now. And this is a phenomenal story you guys could check it out at the great breitbart dot com. We love breitbart dot com. By the way, a story right next to your story. I just have to say this. We'll talk about it. Miss Universe insists, not all people who menstruate are women. That's where we're at. This is a breitbart dot com story. Go ahead all them. Well, yeah, that's exactly the kind of thinking that's driving this Google's happenings at Google. There are no men and women. If you even use the word men or women or mother or boy, then you're somehow being non inclusive. That's the way they want. It's what we like. It's one of the great and Elon Musk pointed this out. I've said this for a while, but the fact Elon is saying it is hilarious, which is in the same sentence, they'll say, there's no such thing as a woman, but trans women are women. Oh really, so which is it? Or trans women, women? What is that word woman? And I just, I just I've plugged at so many times. Matt Walsh's just precise focus on this question of what is a woman is one of the most brilliant approaches to the trans calamity that I've seen in quite some time. But let's talk about kind of Google as a whole. Do you think that they have been kind of quiet in the last couple of months, at least this is not my beat. I know you're a reporter on this stuff. What have they been up to? What do we have to keep our eyes on when it comes to Google? There's still manipulating search results. Are they woke or than ever? Are you seeing any sort of kind of back to reality movement at Google? What's going on there? I actually don't see any back to reality inside Google. And I've always considered Google to be the worst of the Silicon Valley tech giants. Twitter arguably has a more work culture, but they have less because Twitter is a smaller company with a smaller user base to have less impact on the information we receive, whereas with Google, everyone uses Google. And Facebook, you know, they someday sometimes they sometimes try and throw a bone to the right. They don't always do what the left says. They're still extremely left wing. But Google suppressed right about news completely during the 2020 election. They took our visibility on certain central almost zero. You could even type in bright news headlines and they wouldn't show up in Google even when you're typing in the exact headline. So they clearly intervened in the 2020 election. And we even got a tape of their executives discussing doing that after the 2016 election. So they are the openly and brazenly imperial and elections. We've seen the manipulating search results related to referendums around the world. And nothing is stopping them from doing that again. So I think Google is definitely one we should continue watching. We should look for discrepancies in search results. Discrepancies and traffic from Google to the mainstream media as opposed to Google to conservative media.

Tampa Bay Rays' Players Refuse to Wear Pride Patch: Charlie Weighs In
"Zach from calvary chapel, Chino Hills, love cavalry chapel, love Jack kibs. What is your opinion on several Tampa Bay baseball players who refuse to wear the rainbow pride patches on their jerseys during the pride night, their pride night instead sent out of the game. I fully support it. I do. I think that players pushing back against quote unquote pride night is critical. And we must understand that what you might think of as pride night has changed in its meaning. It's no longer about gay and lesbian, acceptance, no, no, no, it's about something much deeper than that, and also something that is much more controversial than that. It can mean now bringing children to drag queen, bars. It can mean chemical castration of children. That this idea of Pride Month has broadened from just like, okay, I suppose tolerance of gay and lesbian people. And the spectrum that moves from tolerance to acceptance, to celebration, to participation. I must give credit to Matt Walsh for that phenomenally brilliant kind of steps is now that you must participate, you must wear the pride patch. And it kind of goes back, okay, Connor, get the Kramer from Seinfeld. You don't want to put the button on from the aids walk. It's one of this great great scenes in television history. Where Kramer, who's kind of an aloof character in Seinfeld, decides to do the aids walk, but he doesn't want to put the button on or the ribbon. He just doesn't want to wear the ribbon, and it kind of is the same sort of thing where he ends up getting kind of attacked by the mob, albeit kind of very similar kind of the Pride Month aids walk mob where they say you don't support gay people because you don't want to wear the ribbon and it's kind of this joke in the show that unfolds into obvious kind of tumultuous hilarity where Kramer is like, no, no, no, I'm with you. I just don't want to wear the ribbon. I just don't want to wear the ribbon. And they say, what do you mean what do I put the ribbon on? And it's like this back and forth and you must participate. You must be part of this. It's not enough that you tolerate us. It's not enough that you accept us. It's not enough that you celebrate us, no, you must

"And thank you. Hey rain and snow on every word so many things I could have done the clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from. The time hey folks when you've lucked out. You've lucked out if you're listening to me right now, you have lucked out. Lucky you because I'm going to share I was thinking of calling it rant of the week. Oh, no. Yes. Where I get a bee in my bonnet, perhaps not literally. But a bee in my bonnet metaphorically, and I say, I've just got to share this with the group. Okay. Okay. I got to share this with the group. So I'll represent the group. Yes. You represent the group by being here, but everyone listening, I'm thinking of you as my encounter group. It's kind of like a 60s gestalt therapy thing. And I just want to share some stuff when I get some stuff around my chest. And yes, and I'm going to get some stuff off my chest. Okay. Number one, now listen carefully because everything I say is simply true. I've noticed this. That there are certain habits that people fall into culturally. One of them, I've shared about this before, but I want to hit this again, so everyone listening has no excuse. Are you ready for this? Are you ready, folks? When somebody says thank you. More and more people respond incorrectly when you say thank you, people say, no problem. Yeah. Let me just say, I know it's not a problem. And I don't need you to tell me that it's not a problem, okay? That's the wrong response. Young people, especially, are guilty of saying, no problem. If you're my waiter and I say thank you and you say no problem, it's like, yeah, it's no problem you're being paid for this and I'm probably going to tip you. So no problem is not the right response. If somebody says thank you, your response ought to be your welcome. This happened to Anne and I that we were at the dinner and me. And there you go, another problem. But yeah, the woman said, no problem. And I said to Ann, that's when Eric spug a booze. It's become, this is the thing is like, I was saying to Suzanne last night, a lot of people's talk is just chatter. They're not really thinking about what they say, it's just kind of this automatic blah, blah, blah, stuff. And the no problem is one of those, like, no problem. No problem. No problem. No problem is wrong. The response is you're welcome. Thank you. You're welcome. Or you're quite welcome. Oh, I like that one. Or my pleasure. Okay? You've got some options. But no problem is a problem. Okay. That's the first part of my rant. The second part of the rant, and this, I find this hilarious. Listen, I'm a cultural observer. I've noticed these things and also because I'm a writer, I notice words. I noticed this that you go to a hotel or you're in a restaurant, usually. And it's people who are serving you somehow. Yeah. And they've picked up on this idea that things are more elegant if they use the future tense. So they say, thank you, sir. Now, the elevators are going to be down the hall and to your left. And I'm thinking they're going to be, you mean they're not there now? They say, yeah, no, the elevators are going to be, it's like, no, no, no, you mean the elevators are because they're there now. They were installed 25 years ago. The elevators are down the hallway. But people say, going to be. Or they say, I'm going to be your server for the evening. And I'm thinking, no, you actually are now. You're standing here now talking to me in the role of my server or my waiter or waitress, whatever it is. But they say, I'm going to be or they say the special tonight is going to be like it's 8 o'clock at night. The special is going to be or the special is going to be on the left side of the menu or it's like no, no, it is. Ladies and gentlemen, it is welcome to the present. We're here now and we want you to acknowledge that. So don't say the elevators are going to be down the hall. He said the elevators are down the hall. Don't say I am going to be your server. You are my server. Now, right now, but I've noticed this when you go to restaurants, you can notice especially young people. They fall into this trap of thinking it's somehow a little bit more upscale a little bit more elegant to use the future tense. That ladies and gentlemen is wrong. Thank you, okay? It's going to be wrong and it is wrong right now. Don't let it happen again..

"And so I think that also is part of the story. It's interesting though to look for antecedents. I mean, you kind of have to say, where did this come from? What is this? It's not even if you want to talk about homosexuality or whatever. You can look back and you can have some sense of where it comes from or where these ideas come from. This strikes me as genuinely bizarre that that suddenly it's a thing. I had a doctor here in New York secular doctor, I think he knew he could ask me a question and he said, can I ask you politically incorrect question? Young guy successful in Manhattan. He says, you know, I had a patient come on at 12 year old retina. Wants to be called a they. Now, this doctor says to me, is this a thing? Is this do you think this is real? Where was this when we were kids? And I was just thrilled to see him kind of looking around thinking, I'm not buying this. What is this? Do you have a sense of what this is where this idea came from? Why suddenly we're talking about pronouns when for many, many, many centuries, we were not talking about this? Yeah, I think, well, you run into a little bit anytime you're trying to trace the origin of any sort of evil. If you want to go back far enough, you end up at the fall of man. But if you want to get a little bit more targeted and narrowed down a bit, we get into briefly in the film, and this is a whole subject that could have its own film. We talk about the beginnings of gender ideology in their current form, and that goes back to guys like Alfred Kinsey and especially John money. It's kind of sexologist and psychiatrist and psychoanalyst in the mid 20th century. You can take any of these terms and ideas and actually look at the person who came up with this stuff. John money came up with the idea of gender identity. He coined the term. The idea that we have a sex and a gender, there are two different things. And this is all socially constructed. And so on and so forth. And they largely, I think, are responsible for much of this. And they were also horrible, horrendous people, and we go into some of the horror stories there with them. But I think they came up with these kinds of things and they were kind of bubbling under the surface for a long time. They were making their way kind of seating in the institutions, making the way into institutions, the academic institutions, especially. And then there was, it seemed to be kind of a moment back in maybe ten years ago or more recently, when all this stuff that was already there kind of exploded into the mainstream, if you want to look at a moment there, I think that Bruce Jenner, quote unquote, coming out as a woman, and then being declared woman of the year, that was kind of maybe the mainstream moment where this made its way into the mainstream. And so you find these kind of landmarks along the way. But it is something that's been in our culture for longer than maybe it seems. I was just going to say that the Bruce Jenner happened to be in the room with Bruce Jenner in his more recent incarnation as Caitlyn Jenner. And my heart breaks because there's this, there's this moment of horror, and then there's a moment of, I think, sadness when you realize that there are people who are genuinely profoundly troubled. And instead of helping them, we're feeding the trouble. It's kind of like saying schizophrenia is a good thing. Didn't you know that? Don't ever speak against schizophrenia. It is heartbreaking. And so I'm just grateful to you for making the film for bringing attention to this folks. The film is what is a woman and thanks to Matt Walsh in the daily wire. It exists and you get to go see it.

Folks welcome back. I'm talking to Matt Walsh, who's made a film and documentary called what is a woman Matt, it's funny. You understand that just the question is hilarious. This came up most recently when kitani Brown Jackson was being grilled, grilled, not really. By the Senate asking a question, she couldn't answer the question. She, a woman who is now Supreme Court Justice, was unable because of these bizarre strictures that we are imposing on ourselves in this crazy culture. She was unable to answer this. In other words, she is the product of a lot of what we're talking about. And she is now sitting on the Supreme Court. Yeah, and of course, if you were to ask katagi Jackson, do you care about women's rights? She would say, well, of course I do, right? But then, well, what is that? What's a woman? Oh, I don't know. So how can you care about it if you don't even know what it is? But of course, as you point out, she knows the answer, but it's just, she also knows what the rules are, and she's trying to operate within it. And then you go to this totally ridiculous appeal to authority. This credentialism thing where you have to have the right credential to be to even make a statement on this. And of course, they say that. And meanwhile, there are plenty of biologists and actual scientists out there who will still say a woman as an adult human female. And if they say that, then the very same people who said appeal to the biologists will then accuse the biologist of transphobia. So no matter what, they're always going to come back to their conclusion. It's called lying. We've seen it before. It's kind of when you have a guilty kid and they make up a lie to cover the other lie and the other lie in the other light. And it only goes so far. You can't live that way. You'll go to prison. But that's kind of what we're seeing. And it gets back to what I said earlier, that there's fear. They know that Catania Brown Jackson, she knew that if she said anything definitive in answering what is a woman that she would be attacked by these crazy ideologues. And so who are these ideologues? I mean, did you encounter any of them that were particularly radical? Who is enforcing this bizarre ideology? We talked to we certainly ran into people on the street. We were in San Francisco. We were in the Castro district that we ran into the kind of activist types there. In the film, we do talk to someone who's works for a kind of trans, quote unquote trans rights, lobbyist group in D.C.. And what we encountered in that interview was not so much this kind of like rabid going to yell in your face type of thing. But more of this kind of programmed robotic has the lines down has the has the talking points and just sticks to them no matter what. And I think that's the sort of thing that is motivating a lot of it, this kind of activist groups, lobbyist groups in D.C., that lies behind a lot of it. There's also, we get into in the film a little bit. In terms of what motivates this, there's also the profit motive, which I think sometimes gets overlooked, but that's pretty significant in that the pharmaceutical companies, the therapists, counselors, the doctors, there's a lot of money to be made in gender confusion in general, especially for kids, and infusing that into kids..

"That's how we kind of settled on our approach to the film. Well, that's what's so delightful about it. And so entertaining. It really is, you know, theater in the sense that you're just dying to know how is this person going to ask answer this question given the insane parameters that they've put on themselves so that they've accepted. Why do you suppose these folks even assented to the idea of an interview? That itself is interesting to me that they would be willing to have a conversation on this subject. I would think that they just want to avoid it. Yeah, that is interesting. And also part of the question there is that everyone we talked to, even the ones that ended up leaving, Friends, we talked to a congressman and he got up and left, but you see. But they still sat there for a while and kept talking, I think, I don't know exactly, I guess is the answer to the question. I think that maybe there's kind of, these are people that live in a bubble like we talked about, and in that bubble, it's almost like unimaginable that anybody would actually ask a skeptical question. And so they feel sort of protected in that bubble, which is one of the reasons why I've been saying, and I'm not very optimistic about a lot of things, but I am optimistic about this, at least long term. I think gender ideology is beatable. I think this is a war that we can really win because as we discover making the film, the proponents of the ideology are they're weak. They're intellectually just weak because they haven't been tested. Whereas for us, on the other side of it, we live in a culture that's against us. We constantly have to be sort of fine tuning our arguments. And we're constantly being tested. They're not tested at all. They're just not prepared for it. So all it takes is a little bit of a backbone on our side to just stand up and ask some questions and watch the thing fall apart. Well, also, we happen to have reality and truth on our side. I mean, you know, whether you, whether you know it or not, you do, you know, it's like talking about math or science. If you want to send a rocket to the moon, you're going to have to deal with science and reality. You can't make it up. And that's kind of where we are in a lot of these places where they're making stuff up, but it can only go so far. I'm not sure what you do with it. But I mean, I think we have to be honest and say it's a kind of madness. They are unmoored from reality. It reminds me of when I wrote about bahn hoffer and the Nazis. You know, they had Nazi science, right? They kind of had this fiction that there's Jewish science, and then there's Arian science. And you realize, okay, that you can chew on that for a few years, but eventually you're going to be in trouble. Eventually you're going to see that there's actual science and actual facts. And so it's kind of like you can fool people for a while, but eventually this thing called reality intrudes. It's inescapable. And that's to me part of the delight of the film is that you see these people in a sense, you're forcing them to deal with that a little bit. Yeah, I think what you said about how we have the advantage of having a true truth on our side, I totally agree, which is why I think that that should be our starting point. That should be the main thing that we're sort of hitting on, and that's why when people ask me, and I get this question in the film, you get it all the time, which is like, well, why do you care about this so much? Which is a sleight of hand trick because the other side, they're constantly telling us that we should care about these kinds of issues, right? They're doing pride parades and everything. And but then when we do care about it in the wrong way, they say, wow, you shouldn't even care. Well, the answer number one, the number one answer why I care is that I care about the truth. You know, the truth matters. And it's the sort of intrinsic value of truth itself. That should be the basis of our argument. And then from there, we get into the rights privacy rights of women in locker rooms. Defending children, all that stuff is extremely important, obviously. But it starts with the truth itself, and then the rest of it, I think, grows from there. Do you have time for one more segment or do you have to go?.

I'm talking to Matt Walsh, who has made a film called what is a woman? Matt, what is your story? How did you get to a place where you're making a documentary called what is a woman? Where do you come from? Where'd you grow up and what got you thinking along these lines? You know, I grew up in a conservative Christian household and that's kind of one of the things that's come up as we've made this film and people have asked me what your stance on this on gender ideologies and so on. Is that rooted in your faith? And in a sense, the answer is yes in the sense that everything that I do is read it in my faith because it's the deepest level of who I am. But then at another level, it's true that this is just a basic reality that I don't think you have to be a Christian to understand that men are men and women are women. Just like you don't have to be Christian to understand two plus two equals four and so on. So that's kind of my background, but even if I grew up in a liberal household or something, I think this reality would still be or should still be completely obvious. And of course I've been hosted the podcast and so on and done and done that. And I've kind of been engaging on this issue on that level, giving my opinion about it, giving speeches and doing all that kind of thing. I think all that's important, obviously, I still do it. But it became clear to me that if we want to reach a larger audience with this message and get beyond kind of the conservative podcast fear we might have to approach it differently and that's kind of the idea behind making a film and also the idea behind the way that we approached it, which was rather than me going out and doing what I really viscerally wanted to do, which is just argue with people. Rather than do that, just go out and let them talk, ask questions, if I really want to reveal as we've been talking about how totally vacuous this ideology is, rather than me asserting it and yelling at people, I thought it would be better to let them reveal it for themselves. And so.

"With some actual guests. Tell me Eric, why is relief factor so successful at lowering or eliminating pain? I'm often asked that question, the owners of relief factor tell me they believe our bodies were designed to heal. That's right, designed to heal, and I agree with them. So the doctors who formulated relief factor for them selected the four best ingredients, yes, 100% drug free ingredients, each helps your body deal with inflammation.

Folks, I'm pretty excited because I get to talk to Matt Walsh who's created a film documentary called what is a woman? And as you know, we're all tremendously confused. What is a woman? Matt Walsh welcome and congratulations on this film, which is doing tremendously well. I am thrilled to say. Yeah, thank you so much. It's been the reaction has been we were expecting pretty explosive reaction, but it's actually gone a little bit beyond even what I what I anticipated. So it's been because you dare to ask the brave question. What is a woman? I just can't believe you're crazy enough to ask that incendiary question. It's a very scary question. You tell my audience if you don't mind how you came to make this documentary because it's just delightful. I heard you talking about it on Dan bongino program. Yesterday I saw some of the clips. It is very important, but it's also very entertaining, which is a nice combo. Yeah, then that's the thing about a lot of what we're dealing with with kind of the gender and sanity is that they're sort of layers to it on the first layer. There's a whole lot of just absurdity that you can't help but laugh at. And that is the appropriate reaction to absurdity, I would say. And then once you get under that first layer, you start to see that the sort of sinister disturbing stuff lurking under the surface, and then we kind of try to bring that out in the film where you kind of cover both bases of it. But this film comes from it really kind of goes for me personally. It goes back several years. At first sort of occurred to me back in, I don't know, 2017, 2018, that this very simple question, what is a woman has the effect of toppling the whole gender ideology House of Cards because it's a question at the left can't answer it if they can't answer it then the whole premise doesn't make any sense. Like if a man says I identify as a woman, but then can't tell you what he means by that, what a woman is, then the whole sentence. There's a clip that's been circulating on the Internet where you talk to some academic. I don't remember who that is. But he's the one and where I was surprised is when you ask precisely what you just said. In other words, yes, the question, what is a woman? And he from for around and he's afraid to say anything. I think he's afraid to say one plus one equals two because it might offend someone. He could lose tenure. I don't know what could happen, but he's afraid to say anything. And then you say, and this is just that the genius of your questioning, you say, okay, so let's put that aside. So if a man becomes a woman and you're saying he can become a woman and he's like, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, so you say, okay, what has he becoming? It's very funny in a way because it's perfect circularity, but we rarely get to see this in public life. I mean, this is like, you know, Abbott and Costello, who's on first. You rarely get to see this kind of thing. Yeah, we kind of discovered doing the film why it is that we rarely get to see it because I think the proponents of this ideology, they realize at some level, especially the ones that are in these institutions, academics and so on. They realize that this is a facade and that it can not withstand even the slightest scrutiny. So they usually keep themselves in a bubble and they avoid any questioning at all. That's the thing about doing this film. I kind of knew that what is a woman is a stumper for these people. So I was expecting to get some evasive answers to that. But what I didn't realize is that every question that you ask is actually a stumper because they just aren't prepared for any kind of scrutiny. What they are used to and in the bubbles that they kind of live in and operate in, they just make statements and make assertions, and then people nod their heads and say, oh, good for you. And that's it. Then you move on. No one ever stops and says, well, what does that mean? What do you mean by that? And that's kind of really every question in the film is actually just basically that. That's every question is, what exact? What are you trying to say? What is this thing? What claims are you actually making? What does it mean? And they're not able to explain it because there's just nothing there under the surface of it. Well, what's fascinating to me? And I just have to say this at 50,000 feet. As I watched your conversation with that academic, what fascinates me is the fear they are afraid, it's like having, you know, Saddam Hussein at the height of his power. He says, like, come in and have a conversation. You'd be scared to death to say anything because he might seize on what you say as a reason for having you tortured and killed. That's what I see in the eyes of these academics. They are just looking around in terror because they know that they don't know anything. So all they can do is lean on sophistry and evasion because if anything actually gets said that becomes a lever by which they can be catapulted out. Yeah, I think you're right. That's a good point because I have talked about the anger from these people, but you're right that there's fear. Also, there's kind of fear, there's a couple different kinds of fear, because we also talk to just average people on the street and ask them a lot of these same questions. And I picked up on a lot of fear there too, but the fear is different for them. It's like they're afraid of the institutions. They're afraid of people like that professor. They're afraid of if they say, if they say what they actually think that they'll be canceled, they'll have their lives ruined. A lot of people told me that, you know, that's why they're not in the film because they said I can't talk about this because then I lose my job and so on. So there's fear there, but then there's also the kind of defensive fear I suppose within the institutions where they're trying to protect the secret that actually none of this means anything is all nonsense. And so you could tell that.

"Off. I want to mention that. Now, at the end of the hour, because now I want to talk to you Alvin about this brilliant thing that you came up with. But before we talk to Larry taught, before we talk to Matt Walsh, but at the end of the hour today, I think we're going to do this in both hours. I do a rant of the week, something that boiled my potato, and I had to share it with the group. And I actually think we joke around, but these things are important. So I hope you listen to the final 5 minutes of the show today because it's actually important. And I want you to please share it with your friends and family. And it's whimsical too. Well, it's whimsical. Let's hope so. Okay, now Alvin. You came up with something I've been dragging this out before we get to our guests. Talk about what you came up with. Okay, when they were grilling and I've used that at word and quotes, grilling the new Supreme Court Justice. It was a couple months ago. They asked her a straightforward question, which should never have been asked because but these are the times, like you said, that we're living in. They said, well, what is a woman to find a woman for us? Now what no wait a second. I always have to interrupt because I have to say, let's just appreciate how stupid this is. And I say that most Americans know if you don't know how stupid this is, you might be stupid. If you don't think it's funny and insane that they're asking a potential Supreme Court Justice, what is a woman? How do you, how do you process life if you don't see that as crazy? So this really happened, they're grilling her growing her, and they ask her what is a woman and her response was? I can't say because I'm not a biologist. I mean, but can you imagine how ridiculous and then right then I thought the follow-up question should have been are you a woman? That is brilliant. And that is what I said, we've got to say, because if they had done that, that would have done exactly what you hope to do, which is because Matt Walsh is going to talk about this in he made a film called what is a woman. But when you're talking to someone who's kind of crazy woke, they're really crazy in the sense that they no longer there's no longer any logic. It's like talking to a crazy person. And some of us have done that. You talk to somebody you go in circles, they don't understand logic. They don't follow the rules of logic. So you'll never get anywhere. But if you can ask the right questions, sometimes you can stymie them. Yeah. Because if she would have said, well, I know that I'm a woman. He could have said like, well, you're still not a biologist. It's check in mate. Actually, I have, this gets funny. This is like a who's on first avenue. So you say like, what is a woman? And judge cattani brand Jackson says, I can't answer that because I'm not a biologist. And then you said you want to ask her, okay, are you a woman? And again, she would have been like, now she's really crippled, because how do you answer that? And then he could say, and by the way, when you say you're not a biologist, how do you know you're not a biologist? What is a biologist? What is a biologist? I did just crazy. We'll be right back.

"Uh oh. It's time to begin the show. I love it. You know that announcer sounds constipated. I think he needs to take some new traumatic products. Oh, yeah. The announcer, we're going to have to have to help him out. Yeah. I should mention this album. First of all, we have a very exciting day today in a couple of minutes, folks, are you ready? Matt waltz. Do you know who that is? If you don't know who that is, it doesn't matter because you will. He has made a film a film called what is a woman now in a couple of minutes, Albin is going to reveal something absolutely brilliant. I'm going to keep you on the hook for a couple of minutes because I don't want Alvin to say this up front. Okay. Oh, you thought of something that's so brilliant. With regard to the question, what is a woman? Because you'll remember folks that the question what is a woman? First of all, it's so stupid. But it came up during the hearing of judge whatever her name is kitani Brown Jackson, something, right? Catania Jackson, but I don't know. When she was being grilled, the question came up, what is a woman? Which is insane. We're asking these questions. Like, what is one plus one? Can you answer that? I'm not a mathematician. I can't answer that. We're living in crazy times. So Matt Walsh has made a film a documentary, put up by the daily wire called what is a woman. It is amazing stuff. We're going to interview him in just a couple of minutes in our two today. I don't know which hour this is. I can't tell, but an hour or two today we're talking to my friend Larry Taunton. Larry Taunton did this kind of Twitter Twitter storm. He did a tweet fest. We basically on Twitter wrote up the logic behind the mass shootings and guns and whatever. And so I want to talk to him about that. So we have to say that today we've got Matt Walsh coming up. We've got Larry Taunton. Yeah, two big subjects coming to big big huge subject of the day. And before we get to the brilliant thing that you said Alvin, I want people to be waiting with bated breath. By the way, do you know what bated breath means? No, no, the tell us. How's its build? I think it's be a TED, correct. Yay. Bait it, not be AI TED, baited breath, beat me. Abated breath to abate is to hold to hold on to, right? And so abated breath means that your breath is you're holding your breath waiting, waiting, waiting. So we are waiting with bated breath to hear what Alban has to say on the subject of what is a woman, but while our breath is abated, we got to talk about a couple of things. First of all, Lauren bobert had to cancel. So we were going to have her on today. Tomorrow. And we can't. And I just want to say to my audience, ladies and gentlemen, she is next level amazing. I told you that when I was in Colorado Springs, we show in Foyt, I heard her speak, it was so fiery and so courageous and so spot on. I thought, man, that woman gives me hope for America. She's a great, great leader, and came from nowhere, barely got her high school graduation, she got a GDE and she's just kind of an amazing American story. Lauren boebert, so we'll have her next week, Carrie Lake, who's running for governor in Arizona, very similar. We're going to have her run next week, right? Yep. We have her schedule. She's a big deal. I didn't know who she was and when I went to Mar-a-Lago, I like to say that. What do you want to Mar-a-Lago? I was with Mike lindell, and he starts talking about it. And I had heard of her, she is a true hero. And I'd like to say easy on the eyes, as they say. Easy on the eyes. Well, she was a news reporter or whatever. And I tell you, I'm just so I'm just so happy that these wonderful people, in this case, two women are running for office. Lauren boebert has a serious primary coming up because the people in Colorado, the left, and the rhinos, despise her. And the reason they despise her is because she scares them because she's really good. Same with Kerry Lake. So we'll have them next week. And when you ask the question, what is a woman? Hey, there's two women right there. That's how tough is that. That's what a woman is. Okay, I mentioned Mike lindell. I also want to say, every time I use Mike lindell's towels, by the way, I purchased them. So they're not really his tells anymore. There might tell. But I want to say to the audience because we don't say this often enough. His products are fantastic. They are all made in the United States. And these are really you and I've talked about this like we joke around. They're incredibly absorbent towels. And you feel like a talent has one job. And many towels, you kind of use them and you're like, nah, now if you remember on the Christmas special, we did. He described the towel technology. He explained what happened in the world of towels that made them create these towels that feel really nice on the shelf. And then you get them home, they don't do the job. So Mike lindell's towels actually work. I want to get in a plug for his towels, but all of his stuff, the slippers, slippers, the pillows, all the stuff, Georgie uses the doggy bed. All this stuff. I hope George is your dog. If you use if you use the code, Eric, we share in the profits on this program, right? Because he's one of the main sponsors of this program. And speaking of which, I mentioned new tremendous, they, if you go to new traumatic dot com to get melatonin to get stevia to get vitamin C to get vitamin D to get magnesium, zinc, all the stuff that you should be taking every day, use the code Eric, you get 20%.

"So Matt, I grew up in a time where the feminists weren't just clear about what a woman was. They were angry if you disagreed. Like, of course you know what a woman is. It's very clear. And in fact, that was not long ago. I mean, we had Brett Kavanaugh. We had the me too movement where not only was it weren't a lot of disagreeing what a woman was, but all men were awful and we could kind of distinguish lines. How do we get to a place where now kind of in the zeitgeist and in kind of the popular culture, this is now somehow a question? How do we get here? It's something it feels like it happened 5 years ago. I think a lot of people think that it just kind of all of a sudden sprang out of nowhere. And I think probably 5, 6 years ago was when it is when it made its way into the mainstream. But this is something we get into this in the film and a lot of people don't know the background of the history of this. But this is something that's been bubbling under the surface. Making its way into the institutions in this country for half a century, at least. And we get into some names that everybody should know. Names like Alfred Kinsey and John money. I mean, these are the guys like, you can actually find the people who invented this stuff. They wrote things where they just came up with this stuff. For example, the term gender identity, there was a guy who just came up with that, his name was John money, who also happened to be a pedophile, by the way. A lot of these people were. Total coincidence, by the way. Yeah, total coincidence. Right. Obviously. And we know the gender ideological have a great interest in grooming children and it just so happens all this stuff comes from pedophiles. So yeah, total coincidence. That's a conspiracy theory. It started there and then it kind of, it made its way into the institutions and critical race theory where we here with critical race theory is, well, that's only they only talk about that in colleges. Well, I might start there, but then it goes from there down into the lower grades and down into the rest of society and the same thing happened with gender theory,

"Yeah a little bit and be something as simple as he started to see him as a threat for twenty twenty four and they don't think he should be the guy they want may become ill it to be the person and maybe that's maybe that's what he did wrong to light to turn this. I don't know i thought about that too. I was thinking about that a few months ago win. It was heating up with what he did with the nursing homes and then there was also kind of the beginning of talks of recall of gavin. Newsom is obviously going to happen and it made me think okay were these twenty twenty four contenders at the democratic party. Didn't want to get in the way of kamla now. I don't know how that is because kamla is so unpopular and like surely they're not going to try to get her to run against onto santa's but i mean who the heck knows so i was thinking about that conspiracy to but i do hate that. This kind of gives democrats away to say look. We hold people accountable. This is what we do whereas the republicans don't care about integrity and their leaders at all. We really care about integrity. I've seen people kind of have that reaction and it just makes me roll my eyes. What do you think about that. Yeah well that's i mean that's one thing on the left. Is that first of all. They're all they're always on offense. I think i think the right learned something from nothing that happens can never prove them wrong or ever. Give them a reason to apologize or to or to say. Oh we got that one wrong because these are the people that were hailing him as a hero identified themselves as cuomo sexual and And rather than saying oh we got as on that one. That's embarrassing they're saying. Oh no this proves how great we are. It's kind of like what the the the the olympic weightlifter the guy who Well you know you know. All about that olympic. Well yeah exactly and he. He flunks out of the olympics and the laughed. Rather than saying this embarrassing. They say oh this. This proves our case he didn't he didn't or rather she. They say she didn't succeed. So that proves that there's no problem here. The the right is making a big deal out of nothing so. They're always doing that and they do that. In this case But but of course i don't buy it at all. They're very selective about who they decided to hold accountable. And i guess the question why why was. Why did andrew cuomo draw the short six fires echoes. Maybe we'll never.
