Today on the Matt Wall Show, the most popular YouTube star on the planet is now featuring a transitioning man in his videos.
Mr. Beast's sidekick, Chris Tyson, has a wife and a child, but has still decided to start a medical gender transition, quote unquote.
It's a sad case, but several important lessons can be learned.
Lesson number one is to stop letting your kids watch Mr. Beast videos.
James O'Keefe has an explosive new report about the efforts to send violent male sex offenders into women's prisons.
A United States senator casually declares war on Russia over Twitter.
Joe Rogan comes out in defense of Bud Light.
And Daniel Radcliffe grovels before his LGBT gods.
All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

The pro-life battle has finally left DC.
and is going to the grassroots.
As one of the largest pro-life organizations in the world, no one is in a better position than 40 Days for Life to end abortion in a post-Roe America.
With 1 million volunteers and 1,500 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.
Because of that, they've actually been a larger presence in blue states, especially in California.
Since the first 40 Days for Life campaign took place in 2007, they've reached over 1,000 cities in 63 countries.
Former abortion clinic directors say that these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which is detrimental to their business.
Thank God for that.
These law-abiding vigils have helped close abortion facilities in San Francisco, Seattle, and Chicago.
They're also leading the way in efforts to prevent pharmacies from dispensing chemical abortions.
So, support their work and check out their locations, their podcasts, and their free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.
The fight for life is far from over.
In fact, it's never been more important than it is right now.
So, for more information on 40 Days for Life, go to 40daysforlife.com.
We live in a segregated culture.
And I don't mean segregated racially, though the left is certainly working on that.
I mean that it's segregated generationally.
The younger generations have their own culture, their own language, their own art, their own music, their own universe to themselves, which exists almost entirely online.
It shouldn't be like this, and it wasn't always like this, but in the internet age, this cultural
bifurcation of young and old is only getting worse.
And kids have their own celebrities, too.
These are people who gain tens of millions of fans, even hundreds of millions of fans,
young fans, and become household names for younger people.
So they're household names among the children in the household, but not the adults, while
remaining almost entirely anonymous to anyone over the age of, say, 30 or 25.
A prime example of this is YouTube star MrBeast.
And the YouTuber known as MrBeast, real name Jimmy Donaldson, has 145 million subscribers on the platform.
That's just for his primary channel.
Donaldson also has several offshoot channels, each boasting millions of additional subscribers.
On his main channel, Donaldson has three times as many subscribers as Taylor Swift, twice as many as Justin Bieber.
In fact, he has more subscribers than every pop star, more than every internet personality, more than every media or entertainment company, aside from Sony's India division.
That one hasn't beat.
But other than that, he has the most.
He is massively successful, wildly famous.
And yet, I hadn't heard of him until a few months ago.
I spend much of my day online for my job, unfortunately.
I also have a YouTube channel of my own, which feels suddenly quite obscure by comparison.
But I've only just recently become vaguely familiar with Mr. Beast.
And even now, I wouldn't recognize the guy if he passed me on the sidewalk.
It is, to say the least, very troubling that someone can become this prominent among younger generations and have this much influence over them, and yet be so obscure to the rest of us.
If you're a parent and you've made the mistake of giving your child open access to the internet, you're placing an enormous amount of faith in these influencers who are influencing your kids.
It is a faith that is almost always, or really always, misplaced.
Because even the most family-friendly content, the most seemingly innocuous, as most of Mr. Beast's content appears to be, can subtly, or not so subtly, introduce concepts that will take your child down a very dark path.
In the case of Mr. Beast, that path has been opened by his sidekick and co-star on his videos named Chris Tyson.
Tyson's a frequent collaborator with Mr. Beast and an internet celebrity in his own right with nearly 14 million subscribers across TikTok, Twitter, and Instagram.
And he appears in many of Mr. Beast's videos.
He's very familiar to fans of the channel.
And those fans, most of them kids again, have been watching over the last few months as Tyson has transformed himself from a married man with a child to something that is supposed to look like some sort of approximation of a woman.
Fans had noticed for several weeks as Tyson underwent a sort of bizarre physical change, not only growing his hair out but beginning to appear increasingly frail and sickly and started wearing women's clothes and all the rest of it.
Finally last week, Tyson came out as trans and confirmed that he's been on hormone replacement therapy for the past two months.
Explaining his decision, Tyson tweeted, quote, "Informed consent HRT saved my and many others'
lives. The hurdles GNC, gender non-conforming people, have to jump through to get life-saving
gender-affirming health care in a first world country is wild to me. Just let people make
informed decisions about their own bodies." In response to the concern some people have
raised about the effect his transition, quote unquote, might have on his young son, Tucker,
Tyson said, quote, "I know I'm going to be a great parent and so is every other person who
puts the love of their child before everything. I made this decision because I wanted to show
up as my best and happiest self for him." In a way, this was for Tucker.
Now, we'll return in a moment to the grotesque and laughable claim that he's destroying his body and denying his own manhood for the sake of his son.
For the sake of his son, he says he's doing.
But first we have Mr. Beast's own reaction to all of this.
Yesterday he sent out a tweet blasting those who've raised concerns about having a transitioning quote-unquote man appear constantly in videos meant for kids.
He called it absurd and said that, called the concerns absurd that is, and said that all this transphobia is starting to piss me off.
Now, admittedly, Mr. Beast has been put in an extremely difficult situation because he built a multi-million dollar empire with innocuous, family-friendly content targeted at kids, and now his friend and collaborator and sidekick has decided to turn these videos into a sort of visual journal of his gender transition.
So, Mr. Beast has a choice.
He can either kick Tyson off of the team and then be excoriated as a transphobe, or he can come out fully in favor of transgenderism and he can stay, therefore, in the good graces of the media and LGBT activists, even if it means alienating a huge portion of his fanbase, and especially the parents of his fanbase.
Well, unsurprisingly, he chose the latter.
And now that he's gone down this road, there's really no coming back.
You can expect much more pro-trans content from Mr. Beast going forward, which means that if you're a parent and you allow your child to watch Mr. Beast videos, now is a very good time to stop allowing that.
We could probably assume that Mr. Beast would prefer not to have to deal with this, but Tyson has forced him to make a choice, and he chose.
And he chose wrong.
This is really the common thread.
Tyson is forcing this onto people who are close to him, forcing it in more ways than one.
A few months ago, Tyson posted a photo of his young son in high heels with the caption, quote, Tucker chose to slay this morning.
It's only a matter of time, we can assume, before we start hearing about Tucker's own quote-unquote gender transition journey, a journey which Tyson will claim that Tucker chose for himself, but we can clearly see who is making the choices here.
As for his wife Katie, we can surmise how she feels about all this based on the fact that she is divorcing her husband.
Tyson announced just a couple of weeks before coming out as trans or non-binary or whatever that he and his wife had separated and were working on quote-unquote finalizing things.
So, if you're keeping score at home, Chris Tyson has destroyed his marriage, abandoned his child to a broken home, created huge problems for his friend and business partner, potentially costing him millions of subscribers and therefore millions of dollars, and he has done all of this just so that he can live out his fantasies in public.
He had a beautiful wife, a child, a family, an incredible job that most people would kill for, which had made him wealthy and famous, and he pulled the pin and chucked a hand grenade into the middle of that happy and serene picture, and for what?
All so that he can be his, quote, happiest self, he claims?
And he achieves his happiest self by rejecting his actual self, and all the responsibilities that his actual self is duty-bound to fulfill.
Now, Tyson is, of course, just the latest in a long line of grown, married men who decide to come out as trans or non-binary.
This was Rachel Levine's story.
This is really a story of some of the most prominent trans activists in the country.
I think grown men who transition after they've already had kids and are married, this is a demographic that is vastly overrepresented among trans activists.
Now, we know that, you know, a great many of the people who identify as quote-unquote trans, you know, you're talking a lot of this, this is because of rapid onset gender dysphoria and the social contagion factor.
There's many adolescent girls who get caught up in this.
But when it comes to the activists, It seems that a hugely disproportionate number of them are men, and especially men who quote-unquote transitioned when they were already adults.
So Tyson is then a valuable example, because he reveals an important truth about the trans phenomenon.
Despite what we are so often told, the decision to transition is not personal and private.
Okay, it's not some sort of harmless personal decision.
It's not like you're, you know, choosing an ice cream flavor at Baskin-Robbins.
Okay, that's a decision where you can rightly say to anybody who has an opinion about it, hey, this doesn't affect you, okay?
What do you care?
That's not this.
You're doing something that will have a dramatic, life-altering, devastating effect on those who are closest to you.
This is not a private journey that you walk alone.
You are dragging others with you, whether they want to go or they don't.
And almost always, they don't.
Indeed, all of Western society has been dragged into this.
We are all impacted, and profoundly so, by individuals who refuse to accept reality and live as themselves.
But those who are closest to the impact site will feel it the most.
And many of them will end up buried under the rubble, starting first and foremost with the families.
This is why a grown man like Chris Tyson, who makes this choice, really does not deserve our sympathy or our understanding.
I know saying that will probably get me in trouble yet again with many on the right who say, well, we've got to be sympathetic and nice about this.
Not to these people.
Because he is engaging in the ultimate act of family-wrecking narcissism.
It is the deepest betrayal of his marriage vows, of his responsibility as a husband and a father, and even worse, he's dismantling his family in a way that society approves of, which means that his wife can't object to the total demolition of her family and her marriage.
She can't cry out in anger or sadness while her husband takes a wrecking ball to her life without being labeled a transphobe and a bigot.
Which is probably why she's remained silent through all this, as far as I know.
She hasn't said anything publicly.
She's not even afforded the dignity of her grief.
She is deprived of the right to be angry about this terrible thing that has been done to her.
Okay, you're a grown adult man, you have a wife, and you transition.
That is something you are doing to your wife.
And to yourself, but also to your wife.
A man who has an affair, you know, and leaves his wife for another woman, at least that guy has the decency to wreck his marriage in a way that allows his wife to hate him for it, and her anger will be validated by society.
Men like Chris do the same kind of thing, yet they do it in a manner that calls for the wife's understanding.
You know, very often we hear about men who transition with their wives' alleged support, and yet the details don't really add up.
So, for example, a woman named Deborah tweeted this to me yesterday in response to one of my tweets.
She said, quote, My best friend Katie transitioned with the full support of her spouse, and in fact, they still live together even though they're officially divorcing.
Not everyone has the same story.
This is quite a beautiful story.
I'm proud to have Katie as my friend.
Hmm.
Yes, his spouse fully supports it.
She thinks it's great.
I mean, really, she's so happy about it.
She really is.
Also, on a totally unrelated note, they're getting a divorce.
Because that's obviously what you do when your spouse makes a decision that you absolutely support.
You divorce them for it.
Obviously, the claims about supportive wives are always fictional in these cases.
I mean, always.
In every case, When a married man decides to quote-unquote transition, the wife does not support it.
And I don't care what the wife says about it publicly, she doesn't support it.
And I know that because these women married men.
Okay?
They didn't marry some kind of vague, ambiguous notion of a person.
They didn't just say, oh, I'm marrying a person.
It doesn't matter what they are, what they look like, or anything.
It's just a person.
No, they married men.
Men with definite characteristics, both physical and not, it is a form of abandonment, the worst form, in fact, to intentionally strip away and attempt to change everything about yourself that your wife thought she married.
I mean, to deliberately attempt to become the opposite of what you are and what your wife married.
It is, again, an extreme betrayal of your marriage vows.
You are taking your wife's husband away from her.
You're taking your child's father away from him.
And the best you can do to justify that decision is to say that it makes you happy?
So even by your own telling, even according to your own rationalization, you are choosing your happiness over the needs and desires and the happiness of your family.
See, here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
Transitioning is wrong always and every time.
First, because it's impossible.
You cannot transition from one sex to the other.
But even if we lived in the sort of science fiction universe where such a thing was possible, it would still be wrong to do it when you're married and you have a child.
Like if I believed in the reality of transitioning, I would still say that by the time you get married and conceive a child, the transition ship has sailed.
It is your responsibility now.
It's your obligation to suppress that part of you and live as the man that your wife and child need you to be.
But it's not possible.
And so the reality is so much worse.
You're setting it all on fire.
You're burning your life to the ground.
In pursuit of something you can never attain.
You had something.
You had something real and beautiful.
And now you have nothing.
Nothing but a fantasy.
A figment of your imagination.
But at least you're happy, right?
Except even your happiness is fake.
Your happiness is as real as your womanhood.
You aren't happy.
Nobody is now.
That was a trade-off.
And it's never worth it.
Now let's get to our five headlines.

We begin with a report from James O'Keefe, who is on his own now, but still covering extremely important stories like this.
The Daily Wire reports, quote, James O'Keefe released a video Thursday evening in which two female inmates at the Washington State Correctional Center for Women discussed male inmates allegedly abusing the system by claiming to be transgender.
O'Keefe said that the WCCW has been the tip of the spear with inclusivity in the prison system, as he went on to explain that OMG News, which is his new outfit, went to great lengths to protect the identities of the two women by significantly altering their voices and blurring out their faces.
The video identified the inmates as inmate number one and inmate number two.
It was not clear how or when the interview was conducted.
Quote, So we have men rapists, men murderers, child rapists, men who have killed women and are in prison for raping and killing women who get put in our rooms, inmate number one claimed.
Imagine coming into your room one day and you're in closed custody and you turn around and there's a man standing there peeing in the toilet because you have the bathroom in your room in CCU.
There's nothing you can do.
I know there's some having sex with women.
There was some like assaulting, but no one reported it.
Inmate number one said.
Actually, we have the video, which is a little hard to understand
because of all the voice alteration they had to do to protect the anonymity of these women.
But we'll watch a little bit of this.
[VIDEO PLAYBACK]
We have men rapists, men murderers, child rapists, men who have killed women
and are in prison for raping and killing women who keep preaching our beliefs.
James O'Keefe, OMG News here.
Have you heard of the Washington State Correctional Center for Women, which has been in the news for its policy to place men who identify as women in the same prison, sometimes even the same cell, as biological women?
Imagine coming to your room one day and you're in close custody and you turn around and there's a man standing up peeing in the toilet because you have the bathroom in your room.
What are you expecting me to do?
What you just heard and what you're about to hear are multiple inmates describing their experiences with
Transgendered women formerly known as men within the women's prison
WCCW has been the tip of the spear with Inclusivity in the prison system to protect the at-risk
individuals involved We've taken steps to conceal the identities of the sources
and the inmates I know there's some common sex with women. There was some
assaulting but no one reported it.
It's... Normally in institutions you have... Segregations are always going to apply.
No matter what institution that you're at.
All across America.
but somehow in this institution, they are adapting ways to apply these so-called mandated laws
that came out of nowhere to prohibit segregation for certain individuals.
So they're prohibiting segregation based on sex in these prisons is what she's saying.
Like I said, a little hard to understand there because of how they, you know, great lengths here to protect the identities of these women for obvious reasons.
More from the Daily Wire quoting the inmates.
Inmate number one said that some of the men who are getting put in the prison by claiming that they were transgender were doing so just so they could have sex with female inmates.
Quote, there's nothing you can do but say you're going to kill yourself and then go down to the crazy unit to get out of that room.
Inmate number one said.
And if you refuse to go back in there, you get in major trouble.
I told all this to the assistant secretary.
Inmate number two said that normally in correctional institutions, people are segregated like sex offenders.
Usually sex offenders are not in general population.
They're always in the population of their own.
My safety is now in jeopardy, she says, because I cannot voice my freedom of speech.
But that doesn't apply anymore because now they're implementing this new gender equality role that forces us to conform to what they want us to believe in about the transgenders.
Inmate number two said.
I've heard some of these men talk about how they would want to get a girl pregnant so the girl could form a lawsuit against WCCW and say that he raped her and he's willing to go along with it.
He's pretty much the mastermind behind his own scandal.
I mean, it's hard to put into words just how evil this is.
It is a direct violation of, I mean, common sense and basic human decency, but also the Eighth Amendment, you know, which is a guarantee against cruel and unusual punishment.
It's definitely cruel and also certainly extremely unusual to lock women in prison cells with violent, dangerous men.
And these women are totally vulnerable.
I mean, they are defenseless, voiceless.
They can't do anything about it.
They can't say anything.
They can't do anything.
These two women, by speaking out, behind the blur, behind the voice alteration, still there's a chance that prison officials could find out who said all this.
They could find out where this came from, maybe, and they could either enact reprisals themselves, they could feed the information to the other inmates, to the male inmates that these women are complaining about, putting their lives in jeopardy.
And so they put their lives on the line.
In a certain way, and are aware of that by speaking out, which is quite heroic.
I mean, we know how difficult it is for women and for girls who are on sports teams and locker rooms to speak up against it because we know what they can face.
Just look at what Riley Gaines faced.
Well, now take that exact situation, except the women are in prison and have no rights at all.
This also really reveals the leftist victimhood hierarchy in all of its hideous, confused glory, right?
Because here you've got female prison inmates.
Many of them are women of color, as the left would say.
Many of them coming from poverty.
You know, statistically speaking, a lot of these come from poverty.
And though the nonviolent offender in prison thing, that's kind of a...
Certainly exaggerated.
Look at all these non-violent offenders.
Well, it's exaggerated when it comes to men in prison.
You know, a great proportion of the men in prison are violent.
But in women's prisons, it's actually true that many of them are non-violent offenders because men and women are different and they commit different kinds of crimes.
Not to say that women can't be violent.
But the majority of women in prison are there for drugs, they're there for property crimes, they're there for public order offenses, as they're called.
So, you could not ask for a group that seems to tick off more victim categories, right?
It checks off more, you couldn't ask for a group that would seem to check off more of the victim categories.
You have non-violent, poor, black, female, prison inmates.
So you would think that that would be as victim-y as you can get, as far as the left's concerned, and yet they are superseded entirely by trans.
Just think about this.
A white, a white male convicted rapist takes priority over a non-violent poor black female.
By this equation.
If the white male says that he's trans.
If he remains a male and admits that he's male, well, he has no choice but to remain male, but if he, you know, says that he's male, then he'll, you know, remain all the way at the bottom, but all he has to do is say, oh, I'm a woman.
And that's, do not, you know, do not pass code, do not collect, like that's, you're going right to the top.
Actually, I just confused that Monopoly analogy, but never mind.
He takes such a priority that, in fact, the very life of the woman Doesn't matter to the left.
Her life, her safety, all of that is sacrificed.
What the left is saying is that it is worth it to them.
It is worth it to them for a woman to get raped repeatedly in a prison cell for the sake of affirming the trans dude.
That is directly and explicitly what the left is saying.
Because we have, yeah.
Male sex offenders, male rapists.
You put them in a jail cell with women.
It's not hard to predict how that's going to go.
And people on the left, they know that.
And what they're saying is, well, hey, it's a risk worth taking for the sake of affirming this trans person.
It's just, as I said, it's really impossible to fully capture just how wicked this is.
All right, next we have Justin Pearson, who's the Tennessee Democrat pretending to be an abolitionist preacher from the 1850s.
He was reinstated in the Tennessee House of Representatives yesterday.
And first of all, here he is coming back.
He's coming out to the House floor after being reinstated.
And here's that scene.
Let's watch that.
There he is, there he is, pumping his fist, waving to the cheering crowd, except that the crowd is not cheering.
Nobody is... Everyone's ignoring him.
He's standing there, hey everyone, yes, and everyone is just ignoring him.
And if that wasn't cringey enough to watch, you know, every video involving this clown is a try-not-to-cringe challenge, really.
It's like, how long can you even endure watching this before you have to look away because the cringe is so intense?
So if that wasn't bad enough, here's Pearson a few days before this, again, doing his whole act, his whole shtick.
Let's watch that.
I believe it is a vision of people who've been ostracized, coming to the well.
I see white folk and black folk.
I see queer folk and straight folk.
I see rich folk and poor folk.
[INAUDIBLE]
[INTERPOSING VOICES]
You better adjust it right now!
that's going to change this country.
It's this movement and this moment in time, that's going to change the country.
I'm so glad.
Oh, I'm so glad.
Yes, I'm glad.
Yes, I'm glad.
I'm so glad.
(crowd cheering)
Yes, I'm glad.
Oh, I'm glad.
Yes, I'm glad.
I'm so glad.
All right, turn it off.
As far as I can go.
That's the most I can endure.
You know, I'm far from the first to point this out, but it's worth pointing out anyway, that part of what we're dealing with here, it's a bunch of dorks, okay?
A bunch of theater kids from high school.
And they wanted to be actors, but they couldn't hack it, so they became politicians instead.
That is the tyranny that we are under.
These washed-up theater kids who wish that they could be, you know, acting in something on Netflix, but it didn't work out, and so they're doing this instead.
And I would rather, if I had to choose, I'd prefer not to be under any tyranny at all, but I would rather have the dignity of being oppressed by old school dictators than these cringy little embarrassing nerds.
I mean, if you have to have it, if you have to live under a tyrannical system, I think I'd prefer the former over this.
All right, speaking of tyranny, Democrat Senator Joe Manchin paid his honorary visit to Ukraine.
And, you know, he made the pilgrimage, as all elected Democrats must make, and many elected Republicans as well are making their pilgrimage to, you know, go to Zelensky and bow before him and all the rest of it.
So let's watch some of the video that he posted.
And then I'm going to read the caption that he wrote for this video, which he posted to social media.
But first, here's the video.
Thank you.
And it's our pleasure to be able to give him all the support we possibly can, go back home to America, be able to explain our commitment to basically show the support that we have.
Okay, that's enough of that.
Who cares?
That's fine.
Here's the caption.
He says, In my lifetime, I have never seen the United States of America in a more just war.
Our purpose is to defend freedom and fight for democracy, and that's why we're supporting Ukraine every step of the way as they defend their country and their way of life.
So, did you get that?
We are in a war.
The United States is in a war.
A U.S.
Senator just announced casually on Twitter that we are at war with Russia.
Now, you might say, well, we already knew that.
Yes, but they have not announced that.
In fact, they've denied that up until now.
They've denied that the United States is involved in the war.
We're not going to get involved.
All we're doing is supporting Ukraine.
We're sending money in all directions.
That's what they've been saying up until now.
And now we get the United States Senate just casually saying, yeah, we're at war.
We're at war with Russia.
You know, constitutionally, a declaration of war is supposed to be made by Congress.
And we got away from that decades ago.
Who cares about the Constitution?
And then it went over to presidents can just, on their own, decide, hey, we're going to war with this country.
And now even that is too formal, I guess.
And now any politician could just declare it on Twitter.
Hey, guess what?
We're at war.
There's a line in one of the most recent episodes of Succession where Logan Roy, R.I.P., spoiler, sorry, says to his kids, I love you, but you're not serious people.
And that's how I feel about our politicians, except for the love part.
I don't love them.
So it's more like, I despise you, and you are not serious people.
These are not serious people.
They're doing serious things.
That's what makes it so dangerous, that we have unserious people Like Justin Pearson, we just saw, a bunch of washed up theater kids.
We have unserious people who are involved in very serious things.
So they do things like get us into a war with a nuclear power and then announce it on Twitter, like it's nothing.
And the media, a bunch of unserious people as well, they treat it as nothing.
There's no follow-up questions.
You know, nobody's asking, hey, wait a second, Senator, are we at war?
Is that, so you're, this is official now.
Is that what you're saying?
No follow-up questions.
The whole Ukraine thing, our involvement in it, is not serious.
I mean, it's serious in the sense of being catastrophic for our country.
It's serious in that way.
But they have no serious reasons for it.
It was not a decision that was seriously considered.
This is not the result of serious contemplation and discernment or debate at all.
Just something that we decided to do without any serious reason.
The only reasons we've ever been given are the platitudes that we just heard from Joe Manchin there.
We're defending freedom!
Fighting for democracy!
Okay, democracy is an abstraction, okay?
What do you mean fighting for democracy?
It's a form of government that we have in this country in name only.
But that's not the kind of thing you fight for.
You don't go to war for that.
For democracy.
As if Ukraine, one of the most corrupt governments in the world to begin with, as if they're some sort of shining example of democracy.
And even if they are, you don't go to war for abstractions.
You don't go to war to defend, like, the concept of a form of government.
That is not, at least in more serious times, in countries governed by serious people, that's not what you do.
Alright, here's another episode of Headline vs. Reality.
So, the New York Post has this headline.
One in five U.S.
adults has had a family member killed by a gun.
This is the headlines making the rounds by mainstream media.
It says, nearly one in five adults in the U.S.
say they have a relative who was killed by a gun, a disturbing new study revealed Tuesday.
The troubling statistic included death by suicide, according to the report from the Kaiser Family Foundation.
A similar amount, 21% of respondents, said that they had been personally threatened with a gun.
The study also found that people of color were disproportionately impacted by gun violence, with three in 10 black adults and one-fifth of Hispanic respondents.
Okay, so let's go through the problems here.
You have the headline, one in five have a family member who was killed by a gun.
Number one, they don't specify what they mean by relative.
So are we talking about fifth cousin twice removed?
Is that a relative?
So are we talking about immediate family?
Because if we just mean one in five people have someone related to them somewhere down the line who was killed by a gun, well, I'm sure it's like five out of five people, okay?
Now you get into like the six degrees of Kevin Bacon type of situation, except with guns.
And so if we're extending it out, and there's no limits put on what counts as a relative, then yeah, I mean, everyone's connected in that way.
So they don't specify that.
And they also, as always, and this is something to remember when it comes to these gun violence statistics, they include suicides with guns.
And this is a cynical, dishonest, really pretty gross attempt to beef up.
We're padding the stats of gun violence by including suicides.
When of course, you know, when you say gun violence, no one thinks of suicide.
They think of homicide.
So every time you say suicide, every time you say gun violence, you are putting in people's minds the image, and intentionally, you're putting in people's minds the image of, you know, murder and attempted murder.
That's, anytime you say gun violence, that's what everybody thinks of.
And yet, a huge portion of those statistics, what you call gun violence, it's neither of those things.
These are suicides.
Now, yeah, the end result is the same.
Somebody is killed.
But a homicide and a suicide are different things.
Because, of course, in one case you have someone who is, you know, killed by another person, using the gun to kill them.
The other case you have a tragic choice that somebody made to take their own life.
And also, You know, it's absurd enough to think that you can solve the problem of homicide and violence by passing gun laws.
It's even more ridiculous to think that you can solve the problem of suicide by passing gun laws.
You're gonna stop people from killing themselves with gun laws?
Even if you could find a way to get rid of all the guns in the world, That's not going to stop anyone from committing suicide if they want to commit suicide.
Trying to stop people from committing suicide is a very noble cause and we should be doing that, but you don't do that by just taking away one of the, unfortunately, many avenues a person can use to take their own life.
And then there's also this absurd nonsense about 21% of the people in the country have been threatened with a gun. 21%.
Not believable, nothing about this is believable.
So if you want to have, we keep hearing, oh, we've got to have a serious conversation about gun violence in America.
Okay, let's have a conversation about violence.
I'd rather have a conversation about violence in general, because there is far too much of it in this country, especially in our cities.
And if you want to talk about that, let's talk about it.
But can we start by being honest?
Can we start on an honest playing field?
Can we start with the reality and then go from there?
Next we have Joe Rogan, who's chimed in on the Bud Light story and had a take that some maybe didn't expect.
We'll listen to a little bit of this.
Do you have any beer in here?
Yeah, you want a beer?
I'd take a light beer.
Okay, let's get some Bud Lights.
Let's do this in support of Bud Light in their time of stress.
Let's be allies by getting a little day drunk.
We're gonna be allies.
You know, because Kid Rock and Travis Tritt have put the f***ing hammer down.
I know, they're really f***ing fighting the good fight, man.
Here's my take.
Okay.
Like, what you're doing, what they're doing, is just spreading the brand to an extra group of people.
Yeah.
Why, if something is good, do you give a f*** who's got it?
Like, would we do this with cheesecake?
Like, you know what I'm saying?
Like, if there was, like, a bomb-ass cheesecake, and all of a sudden, you know, some radical group, like Antifa, really got into the cheesecake, we'd be like, f*** this.
And if the, like, if the Cheesecake Factory sent Antifa a cheesecake, you know, for ten more years of chaos, you know?
A celebratory.
If only ISIS had bear claw donuts, I'm still eating those.
On the other hand, I loved Kid Rock's video.
I love that kind of thinking.
Cheers, man.
I love that kind of thinking.
Not even that I agree with it.
I like wild people.
Yeah.
I like a dude who takes a machine gun to a stack of Bud Lights and is like, f*** Anheuser-Busch.
This'll show up.
But I mean, where's he gonna go now?
You gonna go to Coors?
Don't they all support, like, LBGTQ+, AI, whatever the hell else they're attaching to an issue?
They all do.
So, I mean, I do admire the acting skills required there to take a sip of Bud Light on camera and pretend that you're not repulsed by it.
But, so let me, if I could, let me explain why we care.
Nobody's complaining about trans people drinking Bud Light, okay?
If they want to subject themselves to Bud Light, then if they want that punishment for themselves, go for it.
That's not the point.
The point is that Bud Light is promoting transgenderism.
They are promoting the idea that a man can be a woman.
And they're promoting it by celebrating a man's Day 365 of girlhood.
They're promoting a lie, a harmful, toxic, dehumanizing lie.
In fact, the example that Joe Rogan gives there is a good one.
He says, well, what if Antifa decide to eat cheesecake?
Does that mean we're not going to go to the Cheesecake Factory anymore?
Well, no.
If some Antifa group decided to eat on their own to go buy a cheesecake, obviously it's not going to stop anyone from eating cheesecake.
But the second example, he says, well, what if Cheesecake Factory sent a cheesecake to Antifa and said, congratulations on all the chaos?
Yeah, that would cause me to not eat at Cheesecake Factory anymore.
Yeah, that would, because there's a difference.
In one case, you have a group of people that have decided to buy this product, fine.
In the other case, you have the company officially endorsing what these people are doing.
And that is a difference there.
There's a difference between people using the product and the company officially saying,
I agree with what these people do.
I think it's great.
And yes, it's exactly that same sort of thing, in fact.
Bud Light putting Dill Mulvaney on a beer can is really exactly the same sort of thing
as Cheesecake Factory sending a cheesecake to Antifa and saying congratulations on burning
all the buildings or whatever.
And in both cases, you know, the customers will be upset about that.
And they should be.
Like, why wouldn't they be?
You're a powerful, wealthy corporation, and you have decided to send a message.
You're using your power and your wealth, the power that you gain from your wealth and the wealth that you gain from the customers, to send a message to the culture.
And the people who are giving you that money are going to say to themselves, well, do I like this message?
And if they don't like the message, they're going to say, oh, I don't want to contribute to the message.
I'm going to stop giving you my money.
It's a really simple, there's nothing extreme about this.
The only thing that makes this unusual or makes it into kind of a bigger story is that, well, for one thing, the thing that Bud Light is endorsing.
In fact, it would, even though they're similar situations, it would be better for Bud Light or Cheesecake Factory to endorse Antifa than to endorse transgenderism because at least Antifa exists.
Okay, that's an actual thing that exists.
And so by endorsing Antifa, you're sending a lot of harmful messages, but it's not really an assault on just, like, reality itself.
Whereas by endorsing the idea that Dylan Mulvaney is a girl, not even a woman, but a girl, that Dylan Mulvaney is an adolescent girl, like he's pretending to be, you are sending a lot of harmful messages, but it is also you're partaking in this assault on reality.
But the only thing that makes it unusual, apart from that, is that usually conservatives We'll just continue handing their money over to corporations who will then use that money to work against them in the culture, to fight against them, and to promote messages and ideas that those same conservatives abhor.
Now, on the left, they don't do that as much.
If a company comes out opposed to them and what they believe, it's a pretty, you know, for them it's a pretty easy decision to make.
But on the right, we've just gone along with it.
And so now in this one case, finally, conservatives are saying, you know what?
No, I don't need Bud Light in my life.
And if this is what you're going to do, then piss off.
And whether you agree with Bud Light's messaging here or not, I think it should be pretty easy to understand the justification for why this boycott is happening and must continue to happen.
The only thing that calls off the boycott is if Bud Light comes out and apologizes and also renounces their previous support for the idea that men can be women.
If they do that, then I would say, absolutely.
Not only would I say, drink Bud Light.
If they did that, I would go by, I don't even drink Bud Light.
I'd go by a case of it myself.
If they did that.
You know, the boycott is to, is a consequence But if the company does the right thing and backs down, then yeah, they should be rewarded for finally doing the right thing.
But until that happens, the boycott is on and it stays in effect.
Let's get to the comments section.

Biden's plans to help struggling business owners in the wake of COVID lockdowns were,
of course, to prioritize Black, Latino, Native American, and women-owned businesses.
It goes without saying that if the roles were reversed, if Biden had said his plans were to prioritize white male-owned businesses, there would have been outrage.

Anna Powell says, my brother had a very similar experience with a woman in the Air Force ROTC program he's a part of.
She claimed he assaulted her at our house, a very small, modular home that struggles to adequately fit four people.
At the time, we had nine people there for a holiday, three guys on the couches, one on the floor, two women in one room, me in my own, and my parents in theirs.
I'm not sure how she thought she could get away with claiming that she was assaulted with literally no way of it conceivably happening.
And thankfully, she did not win in the school nor the Air Force, but it was ****.
Never should have happened. He's now $5,000 in debt with his name smeared through the mud and and now that he is
cleared She gets to walk away as if nothing happened pisses me off
Yeah, and and that's why to me It's very obvious that the policy should be
You know if you falsely accuse someone of a crime of any crime really whether it's rape or any other crime
If you falsely accuse somebody of a crime then then you will be
Given the same punishment that they would have been given if they'd actually done it and been convicted
So, you know, false rape accusers are treated by the justice system just as rapists are treated.
And that's how it should be.
If this was the case, then it couldn't be that a man's falsely accused, and then he's acquitted, or the charges are dropped, and then automatically the woman goes to prison.
No, this is a separate crime, and so now she should be charged, and now you have to prove her guilt in a court of law.
But that ought to be the policy.
There has to be a real penalty for this.
Right now, there's no penalty.
So, if you've got a woman who has no integrity, she's manipulative, just a bad person, and has no moral standards at all, and she wants to get back at a guy, whatever her reasoning is, there's no incentive, really, for someone like that to not... There's no disincentive when it comes to a false accusation for a woman.
You make the accusation, Maybe it ends up with the person you're targeting going to jail, and because you're a terrible person, you'll love that.
Even if they don't go to jail, well, you've still, as you said, dragged their name through the mud.
You've ruined their reputation.
They have to live with the false accusation for the rest of their lives.
Even if they're innocent, for the rest of their lives, they're still going to be that guy who was accused of this.
And there's no consequence for you whatsoever, so why not do it?
These women think.
That's why there has to be a real consequence.
Katie Mill says, Matt shouting out 90s kids in the yo-yos and virtual pets give me a nostalgia buzz.
I remember having a mini yo-yo and big one in my pockets going to class in elementary school.
I miss when toys taught you a skill.
It took skill and hand-eye coordination to get those yo-yo tricks.
I had to go to a library or rent a video to learn those sweet moves.
I remember a time when learning a skill and striving to be the best was mainstream and unifying.
And actually cool.
I'm glad to know that the yo-yo thing was more widespread.
I was never sure if—it's like this weird blip on the radar screen of my childhood.
There's this short period of time when everybody in my school—it was mostly the boys, but all the boys had yo-yos.
It was like the coolest thing, but it went away very quickly.
And I always wondered, was that just where I lived, or was it a nationwide phenomenon?
Apparently it was.
But you can't come up with a situation more foreign to current-day kids than what you just described there, Katie.
Kids going to the library to rent a video to learn yo-yo skills.
Every part of that kids today just don't know anything about.
Allie says, "I want to know what Matt thinks about teachers calling students by their preferred
pronouns even if the parent doesn't want them to.
Just as a teacher myself, I see this creeping into the classroom and it being just another
way for me to get fired."
What do I think about teachers using preferred pronouns?
Well, I would imagine you probably – if you've watched this show for even two and
a half minutes, then you probably know what I'm going to answer to that, which is I am
100% opposed to teachers using "preferred pronouns."
I mean, I'm opposed to the preferred pronoun concept being recognized at all.
A preferred pronoun, I don't care what you prefer, a pronoun should reflect reality, and that's all the teacher should...
That is all teachers should be concerned about in general is the reality and teaching kids about things that are real and true.
Cole says, one way I know Matt is right about Dylan Mulvaney's popularity, regardless of the right discussing him or not, is the fact that my wife knew all about Dylan before I started talking to her about him and the insanity around his life.
She knew all about him and she doesn't pay any attention to politics at all.
That proves, to me at least, that Dylan Mulvaney was going to be a cultural pillar regardless of what the right-wing media did.
Well, of course, because as we talked about a couple days ago, when the left decides that they're going to pick somebody out and make them a champion, make them a martyr, make them a hero, make them a celebrity, make them a star, the left has the ability to do that.
They don't need anybody's help.
They don't need our help.
It's very flattering to us to think that they need our help.
And so if we don't acknowledge somebody, if we ignore them, we put our head in the sand, we look the other way, that they're just going to disappear and they're not going to become famous.
But that's, unfortunately, that we don't have that kind of cultural purchase.
I wish we did, but it doesn't work that way.
So the left can say, okay, we don't need your people.
We're still gonna... Again, we own all of the... Fame is something that is oftentimes bestowed on people by institutions.
You know, the powerful institutions, if they take someone and say, we're gonna make this person famous, then they can do it.
That's it.
And in this case, that's what they said with Dylan Mulvaney.
Also, Here's the other thing about this.
Dill Mulvaney was already a TikTok celebrity before anybody on the right mentioned him or knew who he was.
He was a TikTok celebrity before that.
I mean, that's why we started talking about him.
It wasn't like we picked out some random person who had five followers on TikTok, okay?
No, he was already a thing, a phenomenon, and then the right noticed and started commenting on this phenomenon.
Well, what that means, you know, another way of saying TikTok celebrity is to say that this was a celebrity among kids.
Again, this is the cultural, kids having their own culture.
And so this is, kids already knew about Bill Mulvaney because they're on TikTok.
And so he was already a celebrity among kids.
If we on the right made him famous, if we did that at all, we made him famous To the parents, okay?
He's already famous to the kids, and so we took him and said, hey parents, look what's happening over here.
Okay, look at this guy and what he's saying to kids.
That's what we did.
And yet you have some conservatives who, what, think that's a bad thing?
You think it's just better for the kids to be influenced by this person and parents to not notice or know anything about it?
You know, this is a general principle.
These celebrities, these figures, they exist, kids are following them, and so we can ignore them all we want, and that's not going to make them go away.
It just makes it worse.
Because now they have free reign, and they can do and say whatever they want without being criticized.

Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
Ever since J.K.
Rowling was caught in an act of infidelity having an adulterous affair with science, the left has been unable to really get over the betrayal.
They've been so enraged on such a single-minded mission to punish J.K.
Rowling for her dalliance with common sense that even those merely associated with Rowling are made to perform acts of public penance.
The entire cast of the Harry Potter film series have come out at various points and You know, they want to make it clear that they do not share Rowling's heretical belief in biology.
You know, they've been desperate to signal their allegiance to the trans cult.
We're not like her, they cry as they humble themselves before the LGBT God.
We're good and faithful servants.
What other basic realities would you like for us to deny?
What other bits of nonsensical gibberish do you need us to utter on your behalf?
Well, we could put out a statement saying that two plus two equals green.
Elephants are made of pudding if you want.
Anything for you, oh lords.
Chief among these grovelers is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, who clearly recognizes that he is potentially the most guilty by association.
As the star of Rowling's fantasy series, he feels called to speak the loudest about this.
He must do the most to repudiate the author's bigoted belief in reality.
The result is that Radcliffe has now taken a public position that is even more fictional and fantastical than the world of wizards that Rowling created.
I mean, if Radcliffe had come out and announced that Hogwarts is a real place where actual children fly on broomsticks and learn how to do magical spells, it would have been less outrageous and more credible than the position he's actually taken.
Because instead, he's professed to believe in transgenderism, especially trans kids, quote-unquote.
Recently, he sat down for a roundtable discussion with these alleged trans kids in a video produced by the left-wing extremist group The Trevor Project.
Watch.
I learned from, you know, out of the cradle that I am, you know, that I was a boy.
I should like blue.
I should like sports.
I should be manly.
I should like superheroes, yeah?
And I just, I never associated myself with those things.
And we are told that we're not old enough to know this yet.
Like, I mean, I'm only 11 years old.
How do I know I'm a girl?
And I need more time to think about this.
He doesn't like blue, sports, or superheroes.
That's how we know he's a girl.
It's not how he decided that he's a girl.
I mean, he's a child.
He didn't decide anything.
Rather, it's how the adults in his life decided for him.
So we see once again how the only people rigidly enforcing so-called gender roles are the gender ideologues themselves.
They are such believers in gender roles, they so firmly insist that boys must like boy things, quote-unquote, that any boy who doesn't like those things is labeled a girl by them.
This is, you know, gender role reinforcement taken to grotesque extremes.
It's something that the most avid right-wing believer in gender roles never would have even considered.
I myself believe in gender roles.
That is, I believe that there are certain roles, certain attitudes and behaviors that society should expect from a person based on their sex.
I believe that.
That doesn't mean that someone who rejects those roles isn't a member of the sex anymore.
Also, when I talk about gender roles, I mean, like, more important things, like we should teach boys how to be protectors and providers, you know, that kind of gender role.
I couldn't care less if they like superheroes or the color blue.
Who gives a damn about that?
So the gender ideologue not only ruthlessly and violently enforces gender roles, but enforces specifically the most superfluous and meaningless ones.
By the way, I know something about boys who don't care about sports or superheroes.
I'm raising two of them right now.
Both of my older sons are only nominally interested in superheroes, and neither of them have shown any great interest in sports, aside from shooting hoops out in the driveway on occasion.
But my nine-year-old son prefers to build forts in the woods.
That's what he likes to do.
My six-year-old prefers to follow his older brother around and annoy him with whatever he's doing.
That's basically his hobby right now.
What's the significance of their lack of interest in sports and superheroes?
There is no significance.
It doesn't matter.
Okay?
I mean, I'm as conservative as you can get when it comes to these issues, right?
And I embrace that.
Like I said, I embrace the fact that I, oh, gender, we don't want gender roles.
I fully embrace gender roles.
I think they're a good thing.
But even I, with my own sons, I'm not like, well, you need, sit down and watch Batman.
You have to watch, you have to like Batman.
You're a boy.
I don't do that.
Nobody does that.
Okay?
Nobody cares that much about it.
There are many ways to be a boy.
This is the truly accepting view of the matter.
So it's the left who declares that there is only one way, and any boy who exists in any other way is kicked out of the boy club.
Let's continue.
But there are also people who do have, like, a slightly condescending but well-meaning attitude of, like, well, people are young and, like, how do we, you know, that is a huge decision.
I'd love to hear from all of you about, like, why we can trust kids to, like, tell us who they are.
Well, I just feel like, well, me and you kind of share, like, a similar story.
I transitioned, like, super young.
I came out to my mom and, well, not telling her I was trans, but told her that I was a girl at the age of six.
It's been, like, years.
Like, I've lived female more than I've ever lived male.
So, like, I just feel like it's just living proof that I obviously knew who I was, just like everyone else does.
I don't understand why I can't just decide that I'm a girl.
If it's a big decision to decide I'm a girl, it's a big decision to decide I'm a boy.
Right.
It's the same thing.
There's no age.
You don't have to be 18 to decide that, oh, I am who I am.
I think we don't give children Enough credit for coming into this world and having a sense of purity and understanding for themselves.
Like, um, I definitely had that at a very young age, and I tried to express that a lot, but I grew up in, like, a very stereotypically Christian family.
Okay.
So, like, me telling my mom any type of me being different was like, oh my God, like, literally she called my grandma and they prayed over me.
I was, like, seven.
That's intense.
And, like, at that very moment, like, it was very, like, fearful, like, fear-striking.
But, like, at the same time, if we're going to be able to, like, have relationships and be authentic with each other, this is something that I need you all to get, you know?
Yeah.
But I would love to hear from you also about just, like, as I said, like, I always knew I was a boy because it was just a thing that I grew up knowing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So everything that these kids are saying is nonsense, it's gibberish.
One of the kids says that the fact that he announced his fictional female identity when he was six somehow proves that it's legitimate, but I believe this when I was six is not a convincing defense for literally any proposition.
Six-year-olds believe lots of things about the world and themselves that are not so.
This is one of the hallmarks of early childhood.
It also has been one of the most, you know, has been, had been, one of the most charming and joyful things about childhood, the fact that kids are so innocent and oblivious.
But the left has exploited this innocence in the most insidious kind of way.
The other boy says that choosing to transition into a girl isn't a big decision any more than it would be a big decision to choose to remain a boy.
That's like saying that a nine-year-old choosing to be a commercial airline pilot isn't any more of a big decision than choosing to not be a commercial airline pilot.
Just because one decision is big doesn't mean that the reverse of that decision is also big.
Of course, my analogy doesn't totally work, because it is at least technically possible for a nine-year-old to pilot a plane.
It's not a good idea, but it's possible.
It's not possible for a nine-year-old, or for anyone of any age, to become the opposite sex.
So again, this is all nonsensical, but I don't judge these children, obviously, or feel any, you know, contempt towards them.
They're abuse victims.
They've been brainwashed.
They've been led down a path, and they've been made to believe that it's a path they chose.
And now they are offering retroactive justifications for this path that was actually chosen for them.
And they're not justifications that they came up with, but rather they are talking points that they were given and that they were told to repeat on occasions like this.
So I have an immense amount of sympathy for these kids.
But Daniel Radcliffe, on the other hand, is a different story.
Notice how Radcliffe ever so meekly pushes back, tentatively suggesting that maybe somebody might raise an arguably somewhat valid concern about whether children are old enough to make these kinds of decisions.
It's totally patronizing, of course, he hastens to add.
It's patronizing, and they're wrong for saying it, but how should we respond to these questions?
Yeah, I mean, listen, Daniel, you know better.
You're only a few years younger than me.
You grew up in a world where the biological reality of male and female was not in question, which is the same world that every generation of human beings, except the most recent one, grew up in.
So they didn't get to you soon enough or young enough for you to actually buy this garbage.
You cannot have been convinced because nobody's ever presented an argument in defense of this stuff.
It's not that they've made bad arguments.
It's that they've made no arguments.
So there was never a moment when someone came along and said to you, Hey, you know, actually little boys can really be girls and we should give them drugs to make them into girls, even though they already are girls, but they're girls invisibly, you see.
And so they're girls in some kind of, uh, you know, in some sort of abstract sense.
And that's what we need the drugs for.
And then, and then, and then no one said that to you.
And then you said, Oh, well, that makes sense.
Okay.
I mean, you've convinced me.
No, that didn't happen because a mostly sane and moderately intelligent person cannot be persuaded by unintelligible gibberish.
So there can't be any I-get-it moment because there's nothing to get.
You weren't convinced by arguments or by any kind of reasoning process.
You were instead, like most other adults on the left, convinced in the same way that, you know, a shop owner in the 1940s would have been convinced to accept the protection of the mob.
The mob doesn't come to a business and present a proposal, a business proposal, and then, you know, give you a week to weigh the pros and cons.
They extract your compliance through threat and force.
And that is exactly how the LGBT mob operates.
You have been encouraged to promote the trans agenda, encouraged with the promise that if you don't, they'll rip your life to shreds and also your career.
It's been hard enough for the Harry Potter guy to get any good roles outside of the Harry Potter franchise.
Imagine how hard it would be if the Harry Potter guy was also a transphobe.
So that's the calculation that you made.
You may take comfort in the fact that you're only going along with this sinister madness because you feel you have no other choice, but you should realize that every era has its own sort of sinister madness, and every person who's ever gone along with it has made the exact same rationalization that you are making now.
And yet we look back on those people with disgust.
They were faced with a test, stand for what's right and true and endure the consequences, or cooperate with evil for the sake of their own self-preservation, and they failed the test.
And they're defined forever and for all time by that failure, just as you will be.
You sat in a room full of child abuse victims and you applauded their abuse.
You are a disgrace and a coward and a liar.
You sold whatever fragments of your soul you still had left.
I hope it was worth it.
But I know that it wasn't.
Because, again, it never is.
And that's why you are, today, cancelled.
And that'll do it for the show, or for this portion of the show.
