    Ep. 1162 - Hollywood Stars Hold Telethon To Support Child Grooming

    enMay 10, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • The predictable script of denial and acceptance of controversial issuesInitially, opponents deny controversial issues, but as evidence emerges, acceptance shifts, eventually becoming a perceived necessity. Recent example: children's exposure to drag.

      The denial and acceptance of controversial issues, such as children being exposed to drag performances, often follow a predictable script. Initially, those opposed to the idea vehemently deny its existence. However, as more evidence emerges, the narrative shifts to acceptance and even promotion. Eventually, the acceptance becomes a perceived necessity for the greater good. This was evident in the recent "Drag Isn't Dangerous" telethon, which saw major Hollywood stars openly supporting children's exposure to drag. The media, in response, has attempted to debunk alleged misinformation regarding children's gender transitions, but the information is not misinformation at all. Instead, it reflects the current state of acceptance and promotion of such practices. Another topic discussed was the potential of artificial intelligence becoming conscious and enslaving mankind, but the more pressing concerns may be its impact on privacy and employment. Lastly, Tucker Carlson made a significant announcement regarding the media landscape, and Donald Trump faced a sexual assault lawsuit with conflicting verdicts. Overall, the Matt Walsh show covered a range of topics, including current events, societal trends, and product endorsements.

    • Drag Industry and Allies Launch 'Drag Isn't Dangerous' CampaignThe entertainment industry rallies against proposed legislation, arguing that drag performances are beneficial and part of the LGBTQ community, while critics maintain that protecting children from adult content is a priority.

      The entertainment industry, including major organizations and celebrities, have come together to launch the "Drag Isn't Dangerous" campaign in response to state legislation regarding drag performances and gender affirming healthcare for transgender children. The campaign includes a telethon featuring drag performers and straight celebrity allies, who argue that drag makes viewers more virtuous and is an important part of the LGBTQ community. However, critics argue that the focus on drag is a distraction from the real issue: protecting children from adult content and sexualization. Despite no laws banning drag, some in the industry view these laws as an attack on the LGBTQ community and an attempt to take away their rights and freedoms. The debate highlights the ongoing tension between protecting children and upholding the rights and freedoms of the LGBTQ community.

    • Discussion on exploitation and sexualization of children in LGBTQ+ communityChildren's well-being and protection should be prioritized, not sexualized or exploited, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. Media should avoid promoting such behaviors and instead focus on open discussions to prevent exploitation.

      The exploitation and sexualization of children, particularly those in the LGBTQ+ community, is a concerning issue that needs attention. The discussion highlights the case of a child, Desmond, who started performing as a drag kid at a young age with the encouragement of his mother. Desmond was referred to as an activist and a runway model by media outlets, raising questions about the normalization of such behavior for children. The speaker argues that Desmond is a victim of grooming and exploitation, and his inclusion in a telethon promoting similar behaviors is alarming. The speaker emphasizes that children are not accessories or mascots, and their well-being and protection should be a priority. The media's role in promoting and normalizing such behaviors is also a concern. It's essential to have open discussions and take action to prevent the sexualization and exploitation of children, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity.

      Cozy Earth prioritizes quality, innovation, and customer satisfaction with their temperature-regulated bedding and loungewear, backed by a 100-night sleep trial. Meanwhile, Tucker Carlson has chosen Twitter as his new platform for free speech, marking a significant shift in the media landscape and a potential game-changer for open discourse. In essence, Cozy Earth offers a superior sleep experience, while Tucker Carlson's move to Twitter represents a powerful stand for free speech and the incubation of national conversations. Invest in a good night's sleep with Cozy Earth, and stay tuned for Tucker Carlson's new show on Twitter.

    • Tucker Carlson's move to Twitter: A turning point for media?Tucker Carlson's shift from cable news to Twitter signals the end of traditional media, with Twitter becoming a major platform for news and conversations under Elon Musk's ownership, less censorship, and a growing audience.

      The shift of Tucker Carlson from cable news to Twitter marks a significant turning point in media, potentially signaling the end of cable news as we know it. Twitter, under Elon Musk's ownership, is becoming a major platform for driving conversations and news cycles, with less censorship compared to YouTube or traditional media. This move also underscores the declining relevance of cable news, which has an aging audience and is increasingly being replaced by digital platforms. The left and news media are expressing concerns over the lack of censorship on Twitter, but Musk and Carlson seem unfazed, embracing the idea of a free-for-all platform. Overall, this development represents a major disruption in the media landscape, with potentially far-reaching implications for free speech and the future of news consumption.

    • Discussion on Left's Perceived Addiction to Twitter and Manhattan Jury's Verdict in E. Jean Carroll CaseA Manhattan jury awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million for sexual abuse and defamation against Donald Trump, but did not find him liable for rape. The verdict has been seen as a political witch hunt with no clear evidence and the passage of time as potential factors.

      The left's perceived addiction to Twitter was a topic of discussion, following Tucker Carlson's statement about the platform being a right-wing website. Meanwhile, a Manhattan jury awarded E. Jean Carroll $5 million after finding former President Donald Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her, but not for rape. The jury's seemingly contradictory verdict has raised questions, with some seeing it as a political witch hunt that may not significantly impact Trump's 2024 presidential bid. The lack of clear evidence and the passage of time have also been noted as factors in the case.

    • Myth of undecided voters on Trump's futureDespite the belief of many, the number of undecided voters regarding Trump's political future is low. Transgender rights continue to be a contentious issue, with misinformation fueling controversy over gender transition treatments for minors.

      The belief in a significant number of undecided voters regarding Donald Trump's political future is a myth. People have made up their minds about him, and the upcoming general election will present a considerable challenge for him and other Republicans. Meanwhile, a controversy surrounding claims of gender transition treatments for toddlers in North Carolina has been denounced by conservative groups. However, it's important to note that these treatments, including hormone therapy and surgeries, are standard practices for minors experiencing gender dysphoria. Despite hospitals denying the claims, these procedures are indeed being performed on minors, often starting from an early age. The misinformation and outrage surrounding these issues highlight the deeply polarizing nature of transgender rights in the US.

    • Denying Reality: Justifying Chemical Castration as Standard of CareDenying the abuse of minors through chemical castration as 'standard of care' normalizes future physical mutilation, perpetuating harm.

      The use of drugs like Lupron for chemical castration of minors, even if not performed surgically, is still a form of physical and sexual abuse. The denial of this reality is often justified by claiming adherence to universally accepted standards of care, which are actually invented by left-wing trans extremist organizations. Social transitions, including the labeling of young children as trans and putting them on a path to future medical interventions, are also part of the standard of care and can start at a very young age. The ultimate goal is to normalize and justify the eventual physical mutilation of these children. It's important to acknowledge and challenge this harmful practice, which can have permanent effects on children's lives.

    • Disney's Animated Remakes: Reproducing the Originals with Worse AnimationDisney's animated remakes disappoint by reproducing originals with worse animation, removing charm, and lacking the spirit that made the films beloved.

      Disney's current output of animated remakes, while not necessarily woke, is disappointing due to the removal of elements that made the original films classics. Instead of retelling or putting a new spin on the stories, Disney is reproducing the original animations with worse animation and empty husks of the beloved characters. This approach not only fails to improve upon the originals but also takes away the charm, spirit, and personality that made the films beloved in the first place. The use of realistic animation in these remakes further paradoxically removes the life from the fantasy worlds, resulting in a lackluster viewing experience. Despite this, these remakes are still likely to make significant revenue due to consumer demand.

    • Prepare for emergencies, save on kits at preparewithwalsh.comBe ready for emergencies by visiting preparewithwalsh.com and save $200 on each necessary kit for your family. Remember, human intentions cause mass shootings, not objects.

      It's important to be prepared for emergencies and take action now. You can do this by visiting preparewithwalsh.com and saving $200 on each kit your family needs. Meanwhile, in the news, the focus on gun control continues, but it's essential to remember that human intentions and motives are the root cause of mass shootings, not the objects themselves. In other news, Jason suggested a discount for using self-checkout, and the idea is that the faster you use it, the greater the discount. Lastly, a Walmart employee asked Derek for a review after his checkout, which was unexpected and may not yield the most positive feedback due to the typical Walmart shopping experience.

    • Tipping in Customer Service vs. Simple JobsReserve tipping for complex customer service jobs, unnecessary in simple ones, and focus on supporting companies providing good service and convenient, nutritious food options.

      Tipping should be reserved for customer service environments where the quality of the experience heavily depends on the worker's skill and competence. The speaker argues that in places like coffee shops, where the job is relatively simple, tipping is unnecessary. He also emphasizes that customers and workers share similar feelings about tipping and that workers are also customers when they're not on the clock. The speaker advocates for returning to traditional tipping practices in customer service industries, where the service significantly impacts the overall experience. He also encourages supporting companies like Balance of Nature that offer convenient and nutritious food options. Lastly, he promotes the upcoming series "Convicting a Murderer" by Candace Owens, which promises to uncover the truth behind the Steven Avery case and challenge leftist narratives.

    • The Fear of AI Consciousness is UnfoundedWhile AI may pose privacy concerns, the likelihood of it becoming conscious and turning against humans is highly unlikely.

      While the fear of artificial intelligence (AI) becoming conscious and turning against humans may be a common sci-fi scenario, it's unlikely to happen. Consciousness is a biological function, and the idea of it arising from inanimate matter is not scientifically sound. However, there are valid concerns about AI and technology, such as the death of privacy. The internet has asked for access to every aspect of our lives, but has not offered anything in return. This one-sided deal has led to generations of people willingly sacrificing their privacy for little to nothing. Now is a great time to become a Daily Wire Plus member and gain access to premium content, including the upcoming murder series with an early bird discount. Don't miss out on the truth when it's finally revealed.

    • Advancements in Technology and Ethical ConcernsTechnology's rapid advancement raises ethical concerns about privacy, potential human-machine merging, and machines handling human tasks, requiring caution and consideration.

      Technology is advancing at an unprecedented rate, raising significant concerns about privacy, ethics, and the potential for humans to become overly reliant on machines. The development of non-invasive mind reading AI is a prime example, with potential uses ranging from restoring speech for stroke victims to convicting people of thought crimes or targeting ads. While some argue that humans may one day merge with technology through transhumanism, the responsibility and ethical implications of these advancements cannot be overlooked. Furthermore, there's a growing concern that technology may make life less engaging and even boring as machines become increasingly capable of handling tasks that were once considered uniquely human. It's crucial that we approach these developments with caution and consideration for the potential consequences.

    • AI's Impact on Human Jobs: A Double-Edged SwordBen Goertzel, an AI researcher, sees potential in AI replacing human jobs but emphasizes the need to address social issues during the transition period, particularly the concern that those creating this technology don't seem to care about human impact.

      While artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to replace up to 80% of human jobs, according to Ben Goertzel, a leading AI researcher, this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Goertzel, the founder of SingularityNET, believes that people can find better things to do with their lives than work for a living. However, there are significant social issues that need to be addressed during the transition period when AI obsoletes human jobs. The greatest danger, according to the speaker, is that the people behind this technology don't seem to care about human beings or understand human nature. This raises questions about how to provide for the billions of people who will be made obsolete, what they will do with their lives, and the impact on the human spirit and soul in a world where humans are not needed. The speaker expresses concern that those creating this technology aren't grappling with these questions and don't seem to care about the answers. This lack of consideration for the human impact of AI is the greatest danger. Despite the speaker's attempt to "cancel" AI, the technology is not going away. It's crucial that we address these social and ethical concerns to ensure a positive future for humanity and AI.

    Ep. 1396 - A System Run By Illiterate Imbeciles

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a judge in Atlanta was just arrested and removed from the bench after getting into a fight at a nightclub and assaulting a police officer. Again: this woman works as a judge, not a waitress at Waffle House. But, she is just a symptom of a much larger problem. We'll discuss. Also, I'll offer my preview of tonight's presidential debate. Climate protesters attempt a very unique and hilarious method of stopping traffic. And, a guy on Twitter is roundly mocked and ridiculed after offering some unorthodox life advice to young men. As usual, the peanut gallery is wrong.

    Ep. 1395 - A Flock Of Drag Queens Descend On Capitol Hill

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, yesterday was "Drag Lobby Day" on Capitol Hill as several drag queens descended on our nation's capital to lobby for a host of awful legislation. The whole event was a flop, though, which may tell us something. Also, the Biden Administration promotes another cross-dressing man. The city of Los Angeles cracks down on people who are committing the crime of trying to make their communities safe and livable. And, the first annual "FatCon," a convention for fat people, just happened. I'll have the highlights, in case you were under the weight limit and couldn't attend.

This will be a huge case that could deliver a devastating blow to the trans agenda. Also, CNN kicks a Trump spokesperson off the air for questioning CNN's objectivity ahead of the presidential debate on Thursday. Taylor Swift makes a brave stand against the patriarchy at her most recent concert. And, British academics are researching milk to discover its ties to racism and colonialism.

    Ep. 1393 - Christian Conservatives Proven Right Once Again As Abstinence 'Trend' Gains Popularity

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the media has discovered a hot new trend. It's called abstinence. For years the Left mocked Christian conservatives for promoting abstinence. Now, they're coming around, but for all the wrong reasons. Also, Jamaal Bowman and AOC team up for the cringiest campaign rally of all time. Donald Trump made two campaign promises over the weekend: one very good and one very bad. And, the wife of an NFL quarterback says that she convinced her now-husband to date her by hooking up with his backup. Why would any wife share a story like that?

    Ep. 1392 - Disney’s Not So Secret Anti-White Agenda

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we've heard about Disney's not-so-secret gay agenda. Now, thanks to James O'Keefe, we know more about their not-so-secret anti-white agenda. Also, MSNBC talking heads do their best to explain why classrooms should have pride flags but shouldn't have the Ten Commandments. Their argument is more revealing than they wanted it to be. And, can racism cause cancer? That was the premise of an episode of an NBC medical drama. It was not satire. Not intentionally, anyway.

    Ep. 1391 - Anti-Human Eco Brats Deface One Of The Oldest Monuments On Earth

    Ep. 1391 - Anti-Human Eco Brats Deface One Of The Oldest Monuments On Earth

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the anti-human climate alarmist brats are at it again. This time, they defaced one of the oldest and most historically significant monuments on the planet. These people don't love the planet. They just hate humanity. Also, Louisiana is mandating a copy of the Ten Commandments for every classroom in the state. The usual suspects are claiming that this is an attack on the First Amendment. I'll explain why that's ridiculous. And, the "bio-hacking" movement continues to grow. These are people who think that dying is a choice, rather than an inevitable fact of human existence.

    Ep. 1390 - Major Polling Firm Changes Its Own Results After Left-Wing Activists Complain

    Ep. 1390 - Major Polling Firm Changes Its Own Results After Left-Wing Activists Complain

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the term "Orwellian" is overused these days–but, no other word can describe what just happened with a Pew survey finding that a vast majority of black Americans believe in racial conspiracy theories. The findings were so upsetting to activists that Pew went back and changed the report. This is a crazy story that few are talking about. We'll discuss. Also, Donald Trump reportedly floated the idea of abolishing the income tax. That's a great idea that should garner a lot more enthusiasm than it does. And, a democratic congresswoman claims that she miraculously cured cancer. Where are the fact-checkers on this one?

    #20 The Ecstasy of Anger

    #20 The Ecstasy of Anger

    My anger is your anger. Your anger is my anger. Anger is a human emotional experience that we all share.

    The safer and more honest we are with ourselves to experience and allow our own anger, the more we take responsibility for the violation and abuse in our own lives. In this podcast I explore the polarity tantra of anger, through the levels of gross distortion into its wisdom and blessing of fullness and joy.

    This podcast episode is a must-listen for anyone having a history or resonance with a victim story, and who is willing to take the next level of empowerment possible to change their external lives through the authentic internal work.

     

    Life Balance Coaching Series with Chris: Session 5 Healing from Past Pain

    Life Balance Coaching Series with Chris: Session 5 Healing from Past Pain
    So you can't change the past, so don't talk about it. In theory it makes sense, but in reality, what you don't deal with will come around and deal with you! As a Life Balance Coach I am called every day by someone who has made it through about half of their life sitting on past pain and then something releases and the question becomes, "Why am I not Happy?!" My client Chris was one a 'someone' and he wanted to share his journey of healing from sexual abuse by a priest on the air, so that anyone else who is in the same situation, marinating in the dark and feeling lost and hopeless can identify and heal along with him. And the beauty is, people have come forward and are not suffering alone or in shame anymore because of Chris' courage. In Session 5 we turn some significant corners on how he sees himself and the people in his world. Chris also reaches out for help in turning SB 131 legislation around...because as Martin Luther King Jr. says, 'Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only Light can do that.' In order to rid our planet of abuse, we have to shed Light on Abuse and Heal together.

    BONUS Episode “Scary Smart” Artificial Intelligence with Mo Gawdat

    BONUS Episode “Scary Smart” Artificial Intelligence with Mo Gawdat

    You might have noticed over the last few episodes that I’ve been keen to discuss subjects slightly leftfield of nutrition and what I’ve traditionally talked about, but fascinating nonetheless. And I hope you as a listener, who’s time and attention I value so greatly, will trust me as I take you on a  bit  of a ride. Because ultimately, I hope you agree that the topics I share are always very important.


    Mo Gawdat, who you may remember from episode #91 Solving Happiness is a person who I cherish and with whom I had a very impactful conversation with, on a personal level. He was the former Chief Business Officer of Google [X], which is Google’s ‘moonshot factory’, author of the international bestselling book ‘Solve for Happy’ and founder of ‘One Billion Happy’. After a long career in tech, Mo made happiness his primary topic of research, diving deeply into literature and conversing on the topic with some of the wisest people in the world on “Slo Mo: A Podcast with Mo Gawdat”.


    Mo is an exquisite writer and speaker with deep expertise of technology as well as a passionate appreciation for the importance of human connection and happiness. He possesses a set of overlapping skills and a breadth of knowledge in the fields of both human psychology and tech which is a rarity. His latest piece of work, a book called “Scary Smart” is a timely prophecy and call to action that puts each of us at the center of designing the future of humanity. I know that sounds intense right? But it’s very true.


    During his time at Google [X], he worked on the world’s most futuristic technologies, including Artificial Intelligence.  During  the  pod he recalls a story of when the penny dropped for him, just a few years ago, and felt compelled to leave his job. And now,  having contributed to AI's development, he feels a sense of duty to inform the public on the implications of this controversial technology and how we navigate the scary and inevitable intrusion of AI as well as who really is in control. Us.


    Today we discuss:

    Pandemic of AI and why the handing COVID is a lesson to learn from

    The difference between collective intelligence, artificial intelligence and super intelligence or Artificial general intelligence 

    How machines started creating and coding other machines 

    The 3 inevitable outcomes - including the fact that AI is here and they will outsmart us

    Machines will become emotional sentient beings with a Superconsciousness 


    To understand this episode you have to submit yourself to accepting that what we are creating is essentially another lifeform. Albeit non-biological, it will have human-like attributes in the way they learn as well as a moral value system which could immeasurably improve the human race as we know it. But our  destiny lies in how we treat and nurture them as our own. Literally like infants with (as strange as it is to  say it) love, compassion, connection and respect.
