    enApril 02, 2021
    What does Jesse Thorn's thread discuss about gender identity?
    How did Thorn's family react to their child's gender confusion?
    What societal changes does the speaker mention regarding trans identities?
    What concerns arise regarding adult influence on children's gender beliefs?
    How is 'white dad summer' defined in the discussion?

    Podcast Summary

    • The trans phenomenon among children is not organic, but rather the result of deliberate programming and societal accommodation.The speaker argues against the notion that the increase in trans identifying individuals among children is an organic development, suggesting instead that it's a result of deliberate programming and societal accommodation, leading to changes in language, laws, and societal norms.

      The trans phenomenon among children is not an organic development, but rather the result of deliberate programming and societal accommodation. A recent Twitter thread by a podcaster named Jesse Thorn, which was widely shared and praised by the left, illustrates this process. According to Thorn, he and his wife initially assumed their child was a boy based on typical gender stereotypes, but after their daughter expressed confusion about her gender identity, they began to question their assumptions. They learned about gender and children, and their daughter identified as a girl with a penis. Thorn and his wife accepted this identification, and society's accommodation of trans identities was cited as the reason for the increase in trans identifying individuals, particularly among younger generations. However, the speaker argues that this is not an organic development but a result of deliberate programming and societal accommodation. The English language has been changed, laws have been passed, and women's sports have been abolished, among other things, to accommodate this population. The speaker suggests that this is a concerning development and that many people are pretending to accept irrational and indefensible ideas for political and social reasons.

    • A child's gender identity can be influenced by external factorsUnderstand child development and approach situations with a critical perspective, considering a child's age, developmental stage, and potential role of external factors in shaping their beliefs and behaviors.

      Children's behavior and beliefs can be influenced by external factors, including suggestions from adults. In the discussed case, a father believed that his son, who enjoyed typical boy interests but also expressed a desire to be a girl, was genuinely transgender. However, the father's interpretation was questioned when it was revealed that the child had been influenced by his mother's suggestions that some girls have penises. The father's exhausting efforts to maintain his son's "authentic identity" also raised concerns, as it's unusual for a child's gender identity to require such extensive validation and protection from others. This case underscores the importance of understanding child development and the potential impact of adult influence on children's beliefs and behaviors. It's crucial to approach these situations with a critical and nuanced perspective, considering the child's age, developmental stage, and the potential role of external factors.

    • Parents guide children on significant decisions including names and gender identityParents should provide guidance and wisdom to their children, especially when making significant decisions, as they lack maturity and understanding.

      Parents play a crucial role in guiding their children, including choosing their names and helping them understand complex concepts like gender identity. The speaker argues that children lack the maturity and understanding to make significant decisions on their own, and it's the parents' job to provide them with guidance and wisdom. The speaker also criticizes parents who let their children choose their own names, suggesting that they prioritize fashion or political statements over their children's best interests. The speaker uses the example of a father who wants to present his trans daughter as "Grace" instead of "Greece" to illustrate this point. The speaker also reflects on how the pandemic has affected people differently and emphasizes the importance of parents' guidance in their children's lives.

    • Questions about George Floyd's death and illegal immigrationThe George Floyd case raises reasonable doubt about his death's cause, while illegal immigration incidents, like toddlers being dropped over a border barrier, underscore the risks and potential consequences.

      Reasonable doubt is a crucial standard in our legal system, and in the George Floyd case, there are questions about whether his death was caused by an overdose or police actions. Regarding illegal immigration, a disturbing incident involved two toddlers being dropped over a border barrier, left in the desert by smugglers. The incident highlights the risks and dangers associated with unsecured borders and the potential consequences of compassionate policies towards illegal immigration. Jen Psaki, when asked about the issue, seemed to evade a clear response.

    • Ensuring safety and order: border security and upholding the lawMaintain border security to deter dangerous crossings and uphold the law to respect democratic processes and ensure safety and order

      Both border security and upholding the law are crucial for ensuring safety and order. Regarding immigration, the White House emphasizes the importance of deterring individuals from attempting dangerous crossings, as seen in the recent incident of young children being thrown over the border. The administration's focus is on sending a clear message that illegal entry is not a viable option. Meanwhile, in the political sphere, it's essential to respect democratic processes and laws, even when being a lawmaker. As demonstrated by the arrest of Representative Park Cannon in Georgia, interfering with the democratic process is not only illegal but also dangerous. The most compassionate and humane approach is to enforce the law and maintain order.

    • Arrest of a black woman during Georgia voting law signing was not about voter suppressionDespite claims of voter suppression, the woman's arrest was for trespassing and interfering with the signing of the bill, not related to race or voting rights.

      The arrest of a black woman during the signing of a voting law in Georgia, as discussed, is not surprising given the current political climate in America. The woman's claims of voter suppression and the signing of a law taking away black people's right to vote were found to be false. The law in question did not restrict black people from voting, and those who were legally eligible could still vote. The woman was arrested for trespassing and interfering with the signing of the bill. It's important to fact-check information before spreading it, especially regarding voting rights, to avoid spreading misinformation. The woman's actions were not above the law, and breaking the law, regardless of race, will result in arrest. It's crucial to remain informed and engaged in the democratic process while ensuring accuracy in the information we share.

    • Well Health Safety rating: Improving health and safety, but concerns of extortion and bureaucracyThe Well Health Safety rating aims to enhance health and safety measures, but may involve extortionate fees and bureaucracy, while proper pull-up form focuses on minimal body movement.

      The Well Health Safety rating is a certification aimed at improving health and safety measures in various establishments, based on research and expert input. However, there are concerns about potential extortion and bureaucracy involved in obtaining this seal, which may come with significant fees and red tape. Meanwhile, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene's workout routine on Twitter sparked a debate, with some arguing that her unconventional pull-up technique, known as kipping, is a valid form of the exercise. Despite this, the general consensus is that proper pull-up form involves minimal body movement, focusing mainly on the arms.

    • Importance of proper form during workoutsMaintaining proper form during workouts ensures maximum benefits and prevents injuries. Poor form can hinder progress and negate the intended workout.

      Proper form is crucial during workouts to ensure maximum benefits. The speaker expressed frustration towards individuals who don't maintain proper form during resistance-based workouts, as they're not getting the intended workout. He used the example of someone doing dumbbell curls with poor form. Additionally, the speaker discussed the concept of "white dad summer," which is the opposite of "hot girl summer." It's about embracing utility and not worrying about appearance. The speaker also shared his personal discomfort with getting massages from strangers. Lastly, a commenter brought up the Deshaun Watson controversy and questioned the need for 40 massage therapists. Another commenter praised the show and the speaker's deadpan humor. A viewer also shared an experience of dressing up as the tooth fairy for their child. Overall, the discussion touched on various topics, but the importance of proper form during workouts was a recurring theme.

    • Exploring the importance of questioning beliefs and the value of constitutional educationConstitutional education programs like The Constitution Coach empower citizens with knowledge and skills to defend liberty, combining intellectual and physical training, while Candace Owens' talk show offers insightful discussions and interviews.

      While some people go to great lengths to maintain the belief in mythical creatures like the tooth fairy or the Easter bunny for their children, it's essential to question and understand the foundations of beliefs, especially when it comes to the Constitution. The Constitution Coach program equips citizens with the knowledge and skills to defend liberty by studying and living out the constitution. The combination of intellectual and physical training, including firearms, makes it a unique and valuable experience. Meanwhile, Candace Owens' new talk show, Candice, is a must-listen for insightful discussions and interviews, with Ben Shapiro as a featured guest. Lastly, the Easter bunny may be an early IQ test for children, but the importance of critical thinking and understanding the foundations of our beliefs should not be limited to childhood.

    • The Mystery of the Easter BunnyThe Easter Bunny's ambiguous nature fuels children's curiosity and skepticism, making it the least beloved holiday character.

      The Easter Bunny, unlike Santa Claus, is a source of mystery and ambiguity that leaves children questioning its reality. The lack of clear consensus about what the Easter Bunny is or how it operates, along with the absence of songs and cultural references, fuels children's curiosity and skepticism. The Easter Bunny's supposed laziness and lack of generosity further undermine its appeal, making it the least beloved character in the holiday pantheon. This conversation between a father and his son, who had already figured out the truth about the Easter Bunny, illustrates the inevitability of the revelation and the relief it brings to both parties. The Easter Bunny's cancellation may be a sad reality for some, but it's a necessary one for those seeking clarity and closure in the world of holiday folklore.

    Ep. 1442 - Robin DiAngelo Freaks Out Over 'Am I Racist?' And It's Glorious

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, my new film, "Am I Racist?", premiers in theaters this weekend. But shockingly, some of my co-stars in the film -- the DEI grifters we exposed -- are not happy about the movie. They have come out to denounce it as "Nazi propaganda," among other things. We'll discuss that today. Also, Donald Trump unveils a new tax plan, as Kamala still refuses to unveil any plans at all. And the Left's hysteria about the reports of Haitians eating cats has reached a fever pitch.

    Ep. 1439 - Our Towns And Our Pets Aren’t Safe Thanks to Third-World Migrants

    Ep. 1439 - Our Towns And Our Pets Aren’t Safe Thanks to Third-World Migrants

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a surge of immigration from Haiti is destroying communities in America — even those thousands of miles away from Haiti. It's gotten so bad that, according to many reports, the Haitian immigrants are killing and eating people's household pets. Will this be the thing that finally convinces the cat ladies that the border must be secured? Also, Kamala Harris is fading fast in the polls. Climate alarmists predicted historic, devastating hurricanes this season. Instead, there have been no hurricanes at all. And a film glorifying euthanasia earns the top prize at the Venice Film Festival, and an 18-minute standing ovation.

    Ep. 1438 - Why Kamala's Campaign Is Spiraling Into Desperation Mode

    Today on the Matt Walsh Show, the Kamala campaign is falling apart as they plunge in the polls. This has just made them even more desperate and deceitful, as we've seen this week. Also, Kamala is on the record saying that schools shouldn't have resource officers handling security. But two resource officers just saved dozens of lives. Plus, Will Ferrell has a new pro-trans documentary coming out. And the Hawk Tuah girl keeps extending her 15 minutes way beyond the breaking point. Now she has a new podcast on the way.

    The amount of money flowing into investment funds that claim to invest in sustainable businesses has surged in recent years. More companies than ever have embraced policies with environmental, social and corporate governance criteria as their central plank. But there's a debate over what ESG investing can achieve, particularly when it comes to cutting carbon emissions and addressing climate change.


    In the final episode of our five-part series on ESG investing, we hear from two leading FT voices on opposite sides of the argument. Cheering the rise of ESG is Gillian Tett, the FT’s US editor-at-large and co-founder of Moral Money, the FT team that covers sustainable business and finance; and casting a sceptical eye is the FT’s US financial commentator Robert Armstrong, who also writes Unhedged, the FT newsletter on Wall Street.

    “I never talk about toxic stress or excessive stress activation without also talking about adaptation and resilience and the fact that you can build resilience against that,” he says. “There's huge variability and sensitivity to these kinds of traumas… the early experiences shift the odds, but they don't determine exactly what's going to happen.”

    Shonkoff also shares broader insights about how science can be helpful to the public.
