The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1661

Title: We Just Got Proof Of A Huge Attack On Free Speech, And It Has Nothing To Do With Jimmy Kimmel
Date: September 24, 2025
Host: Matt Walsh (The Daily Wire)

Episode Overview

Matt Walsh explores the recent bombshell revelation that Google, at the Biden administration’s behest, systematically censored conservatives—a far more critical attack on free speech than anything involving Jimmy Kimmel. The episode breaks down the implications of Big Tech’s coordinated censorship, the hypocrisy of mainstream media figures crying foul over minor incidents while ignoring larger systemic abuses, and critiques left-wing responses to medical advice, specifically pregnant women taking Tylenol to spite the Trump administration.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Google Admits to Coordinated Censorship Under Biden Administration

• Main Story:
  Alphabet (Google/YouTube’s parent company) admitted, in a letter to the House Judiciary Committee, that they were repeatedly pressured by senior Biden officials to suppress conservative content—often content not even violating stated policies. ([05:37])
• Walsh’s Take:
  • This is “an infinitely greater attack on free speech than Jimmy Kimmel's temporary paid vacation.”
  • The admission is not a “victory” for free speech, but a confirmation of illegal, anti-constitutional activity.
• Quote:

  "YouTube conspired with the federal government to suppress the First Amendment rights of American citizens. That's what happened. They're admitting it now. As a private actor, YouTube can do whatever it wants. But when it works with the federal government, it becomes a co-conspirator in a broader effort to destroy the civil liberties of Americans. And that's a crime." — Matt Walsh ([14:23])

2. Big Tech’s Censorship Campaign (Personal and Broader Examples)

• Walsh’s Experience:
  • YouTube demonetized his channel, demanding he use preferred pronouns and avoid criticizing gender ideology.
  • The financial impact was vast, mitigated only by Daily Wire subscribers.
  • “They wanted me to affirm a lie that contradicts my faith, my politics, and also just basic common sense and biology… I refused to go along with this.” ([04:10])
• Coordinated Efforts:
  • Big Tech companies worked together (YouTube, Twitter, Meta) to silence conservatives, including Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Dan Bongino, Steve Bannon, and many others.
  • Example: The Federalist was nearly demonetized, and Breitbart’s search result presence dropped 99%.
  • The censorship was enforced only against right-leaning entities.

3. Google’s Attempt at 'Reconciliation' Fails

• Google Letter Details:
  • Offers to reinstate accounts banned over legacy COVID and election integrity rules.
  • Walsh: “This offer of amnesty comes about five years too late... Are we going to get reparations for all the millions of dollars that were lost?” ([12:05])
  • Emphasis on the need for sanctions, prosecutions, and actual consequences, not just apologies.

4. Media Hypocrisy: The Obsession with Jimmy Kimmel

• Contrast with Jimmy Kimmel Episode:
  • Media outcry over Kimmel’s brief suspension dwarfs reaction to genuine speech suppression.
  • Jake Tapper called the Kimmel situation “the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I’ve seen in my lifetime.” ([16:12])
  • Walsh rebuts: “Really, Jake Tapper? Forget about the government working with Big Tech to silence thousands of conservatives, including the President of the United States…”
• Quote:

  "There is no universe in which the situation [Kimmel] is comparable to the censorship of thousands of conservatives up to and including the President." — Matt Walsh ([17:06])

5. Apple’s Cancelled Show and Left-Wing Censorship Hypocrisy

• Apple TV+ Cancelled Series ‘The Savant’:
  • Immediately pulled post-Charlie Kirk’s murder, no outcry from liberal press.
  • Show was “yet another propaganda effort by Big Tech to portray angry white conservatives as a serious domestic terror threat.” ([21:41])
  • Walsh exposes the selective outrage: when censorship targets the right, leftists are silent or supportive.

6. Left-Wing Political Violence and Inconsistent Responses

• Dallas ICE Facility Shooting:
  • Walsh discusses recent left-wing violence, reinforcing a “clear pattern.”
• Quote:

  "We're at the point now where you don't even need to bother being cautious. Honestly, the left has a near monopoly on political violence... You might as well assume that any act of political violence is left-wing until evidence proves otherwise.” — Matt Walsh ([24:00])

• Imagined Role Reversal:
  • Suggests if similar violence were perpetrated by the right, Democrats and media would demand draconian action and mass arrests.

7. Critique of Jimmy Kimmel’s Return and Relevance

• Kimmel's Return:
  • Walsh mocks the melodrama and self-pity in Kimmel’s televised “apology.”
  • Quote:

    "He's crying not for Charlie, but for himself. He's getting emotional out of self pity… He absolutely implied that Charlie's killer was a MAGA Republican." — Matt Walsh ([39:36])

• Media’s Obsession with Kimmel Ratings:
  • CNN touts Kimmel’s 6.7 million YouTube monologue views as “huge.”
  • Actual relevance is minimal compared to on-air tributes and memorials for Charlie Kirk.
  • Walsh points out Kimmel’s enormous staff and budget for modest online engagement.

8. Military Reform: Shuttering the Women’s Defense Committee

• Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth:
  • Ended a nearly century-old committee to expand women’s military role.
  • Walsh: Adding women has never made a military stronger, only “more formidable because there are fewer men and more women? ...You clearly cannot make that argument.” ([46:54])

9. Liberal Women Take Tylenol to Spite Trump Admin Over Autism Advisory

• New Tylenol-Autism Controversy:
  • Biden Admin, citing a new study, advises pregnant women to minimize Tylenol/acetaminophen use. Mainstream media panics due to pharmaceutical interests.
  • Major medical associations counter: Tylenol is safe, disagreeing with administration.
  • Walsh: “I take really no position on whether Tylenol indeed causes autism... I do find it very compelling that even Tylenol agrees that you shouldn't take Tylenol while pregnant." ([59:13])
• Liberal TikTok Outrage:
  • Progressive women post videos of themselves “slamming down Tylenol” in protest (out of spite, not real need).
  • Walsh derides the performativity: “Taking any kind of pharmaceutical out of spite is always wrong.”
  • Quote:

    "There’s not a single issue under any circumstance where these women can admit that, actually, Trump may have a point... He can get these liberal women to do anything. Get them to do anything just by urging them to do the opposite of that thing." — Matt Walsh ([65:21])

  “There is no universe in which the situation is comparable to the censorship of thousands of conservatives up to and including the President.” ([17:06])

Tone and Style

Matt Walsh’s tone is confrontational, sarcastic, and unsparing—directly targeting left-wing hypocrisy, Big Tech, and mainstream media figures. He routinely employs humor and pointed analogies (“chug Tylenol to own Trump”; “late night TV is dying;” “Apple’s show was agitprop”). He frames issues in strong cultural and legal terms, always positioning himself as a defender of traditional values and First Amendment rights against institutional overreach.

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

This episode details explosive new evidence of Big Tech-government collusion to silence conservatives, highlighting how this constitutes a genuine and widespread threat to free speech—unlike the overblown media drama about Jimmy Kimmel. Matt Walsh further explores contemporary left-wing hypocrisy, both in matters of violence and performative rebellion (such as pregnant liberal women defying health advisories for social media clout). He calls for real accountability for Big Tech, critiques mainstream media’s misplaced priorities, and injects humor and skepticism throughout.

If you want a forceful breakdown of why the Google–Biden collusion is the real First Amendment crisis (not late-night host melodrama), and some withering commentary on leftist performativity and contradictions, this episode delivers.

They were under pressure from various propaganda outlets affiliated with Democrat Party and they caved. The financial consequence was very significant. We're talking about six figures and losses every month. If we didn't have paying subscribers at the Daily Wire. If this were a much smaller channel with fewer resources, it would have been catastrophic it was clear what YouTube wanted in return. They wanted me to pledge to use the so called preferred pronouns of people who identify as transgender men like Leah Thomas and Dylan Mulvaney. In other words, they wanted me to affirm a lie that contradicts my faith, my politics, and also just basic common sense and biology. And in general, they wanted me to refrain from offering any kind of meaningful critique of gender, ideology and YouTube's eyes. This was the only way to be advertiser friendly. Of course, I refused to go along with this. So we ended up pulling the podcast from YouTube entirely for actually a whole year. And we just ate the financial losses, which were very, very significant. Eventually, several months later, YouTube relented. They agreed to allow the show to make money again without requiring me to affirm the trans lies. So we put the show back on the platform and I continued to say what I had been saying all along. As far As I know, YouTube never offered any kind of explanation for their change of heart, nor did they offer an apology. Certainly it's possible that Google, which owns YouTube, realized that they had overstepped after we brought attention to their censorship on Twitter, which was now a relatively free and open platform. Once Elon Musk purchased Twitter, it became much easier for conservatives to highlight Big Tech's attempts to silence conservative discourse on other platforms. Previously, when YouTube banned pretty much every other conservative in the country, Twitter was their ally. And in many cases they banned the same conservatives you recall at the same time so that they couldn't complain anywhere. You'll remember that YouTube banned both Alex Jones and Donald Trump around the same time that Twitter did all the big tech companies at the same time. Twitter also suspended Dan Bongino around the same time that YouTube permanently removed him from the platform for saying that masks don't stop the spread of COVID which happens to be true. And there are many other names that we could list, from Steve Bannon to Rand Paul to Sebastian Gorka, who suffered a similar fate. And that's not even getting into the many individual videos that were censored, including episodes from Tim Pool show and interviews with RFK Jr. As well as thousands of smaller accounts that were impacted by all this. In every single case, YouTube targeted conservatives. This was of course, a coordinated effort by Big Tech and the Biden administration to silence their political opposition. And it was very, very effective for a long time. They began with Alex Jones, who they labeled a fringe character, an exception to the rule, and then they proceeded to come to come for virtually every conservative with a large platform in some way. In some way, shape or form, they came for everybody. And while Google would occasionally walk back their censorship, as they did with My channel, they stopped short of issuing any kind of mea culpa for what they had done. They certainly did not implicate the Biden administration or blame Democrats for their censorship, as other big tech companies like Meta have already done. Well, yesterday that changed after being investigated by Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee for several years, in particular by Jim Jordan. Alphabet, the parent company of Google and YouTube, admitted that they were repeatedly pressured by the Biden administration to remove conservatives from the platform. And now this is being hailed as like a major victory in some circles. But, but it's not, it's not remotely close to a victory. And, and, and nobody should really be celebrating it. But before we get into that, here's the document written by Google's lawyer sent to the House Judiciary Committee the other day. This is the big reveal quote. Senior Biden administration officials, including White House officials, conducted repeated and sustained outreach to Alphabet and pressed the company regarding certain user generated content related to the COVID 19 pandemic that didn't, that did not violate its policies. The letter goes on to describe the Biden administration's effort as unacceptable and wrong. Well, that's nice of them to admit. Now, why didn't they say so at the time? Why didn't they immediately disclose every single effort by the Biden administration to deplatform a conservative, something they were doing systematically for years? And why did Google comply with these demands? Well, Google never answers any of these questions, but we all know the answer. This is footage originally obtained by Breitbart from an internal Google meeting shortly after Trump won in 2016. Now, this is not a group of random staffers, by the way. The founder of the company is leading this meeting. Watch.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

I know this is probably not the most joyous TGIF we have had. Most people here are pretty upset and pretty sad because of the election.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

I'm glad we are getting together at.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

A moment like this and I think it's a very stressful time.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

It's been an extraordinarily stressful time.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

I'm sure for many of you.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

There is a lot of fear within Google.

[Matt Walsh]

I'm seeing Googlers who are full of fear.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

There are people who are very afraid.

[Matt Walsh]

They're full of fear about the future. They're full of fear about what the uncertainty means for them and their families.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

It's uncertain for many of us here, especially immigrants or minorities, women, women, blacks.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

People who are afraid based on Religion, the LGBTQ community.

[Matt Walsh]

I would just advise us all to be calm. You know, there's a GCOM place that you can go to and just take, take a breath. Healing is a process. It does take time.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

As an immigrant and a refugee, I certainly find the selection deeply offensive.

[Matt Walsh]

It did feel like a ton of bricks dropped on my chest.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

Trump specifically, who I know many of us find very offensive.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

These are the people who for the next nine years would wage a coordinated and wide ranging campaign of censorship against conservatives. Their goal was to prevent Donald Trump or anybody like him from ever winning another election. Was to prevent conservatives from being able to, you know, take part in the, in the so called national discourse. One of their first targets was The Federalist, which YouTube threatened to demonetize on the theory that the website posted a comment section with certain content that advertisers didn't approve of. Yes, they held the entire website responsible for a handful of random comments. Of course, this is a standard that could be used against any website that has a comment section. Every single one of them has a small number of deranged comments or a large number. But Google chose to enforce this rule against conservative websites. And conservative websites alone wasn't just the Federalist. Google also suppressed Breitbart in search results, making it nearly impossible to find Breitbart's search. Visibility declined by roughly 99% in Google results. The Daily Caller also suffered massive declines. Now Google is now attempting to minimize this scandal by telling Jim Jordan in the House Republicans that they're really sorry about everything that happened. Here's another part of the of the letter from Google, quote, reflecting the company's commitment to free expression. YouTube will provide an opportunity for all creators to rejoin the platform if the company terminated their channel for repeated violations of COVID 19 and election integrity policies that are no longer in effect. Of course, this offer of amnesty comes about five years too late. Dan Bongino is working for the FBI right now. Presumably he's not going to take YouTube up on their offer at this point. RFK is also working in the federal government and of course Joe Biden has been defeated. And not to mention all these people who are deplatformed. They've lost many of them millions of dollars. Are they going to be getting given restitution? Are we going to get reparations for all the millions of dollars that were lost? Now we know that Google censorship campaign ultimately has failed. This is like the equivalent of an NFL team admitting that they cheated in the super bowl six months after they lost the game. And then promising they wouldn't cheat anymore. Well, that's not good enough. Like there need to be actual sanctions here. YouTube conspired with the federal government to suppress the First Amendment rights of American citizens. That's what happened. They're admitting it now. As a private actor, YouTube can do whatever it wants. But when it works with the federal government, it becomes a co conspirator in a broader effort to destroy the civil liberties of Americans. And that's a crime, as we've been told again and again and again. They prosecuted Douglas Mackey for making a meme that supposedly made it harder for Americans to vote, which it didn't. That was a lie. I mean, the meme simply was making fun of Hillary Clinton and her voters. But all the same, they set the precedent. It's completely fair game for conservatives to begin criminally prosecuting left wing organizations that actually did set out to undermine the constitutional rights of millions of Americans. We should not accept any letter as a substitute for justice. But there is one more part of the letter from Google's legal team that's worth talking about. We'll put that up on the screen. I'm not going to read this part, but as you can see, Google is basically saying that their policies have changed and everything from COVID to election fraud and glitches and voting machines. You see, it used to be that under no circumstances could you discuss any of these topics from a conservative perspective. But now you can say whatever you want about COVID or election fraud. In the span of just a few years, Google has done a complete 180 on the policies that it used to ban a huge number of influential conservatives from the platform. They were ruthless in applying these policies, even though, as they now admit, there was never any legitimate reason to apply them at all. Now there is no way around this. This is the most widespread and devastating campaign against free speech in modern times. Actually in the history of this country. It's like, it's not even close. It was criminal. It was unconstitutional. And as it was going on, we didn't hear a word from any of the pundits on cable news who are now bloviating about the plight of Jimmy Kimmel. All the people are calling Jimmy Kimmel a free speech martyr or saying that him being suspended for a couple days is the greatest attack on free speech in American history. Were completely silent as Google was systematically censoring conservatives at the behest of the government. In fact, they were cheering Google semi. They weren't just being silent about it, they were cheering it and now they're supposedly horrified by the fact that the FCC commissioner on a podcast, suggested that an aging, irrelevant late night host might have broken the broadcast rules by lying about the murder of Charlie Kirk. That's their red line. Here's Jake Tapper, for example. All right, Jimmy Kimmel, he's a friend of both of ours. You know him, I know him. We know he's a good person. Obviously, this news is very exciting, but what was your original take on how this all went down starting last week? I mean, I thought it was pretty.

[Jake Tapper]

Much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

Yeah.

[Jake Tapper]

Networks are allowed to cancel shows. It happens all the time. But this was the FCC chairman saying, local affiliates, it's time for you to say you're not going to air Kimmel anymore. And then nexstar, with the largest owner of local affiliates, needs approval from Brendan Carr himself to let this merger go through.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

Yes, sir.

[Jake Tapper]

How high do you want me to jump, sir? They do it, and it's just insane. And that would have been the second example because we all saw what happened with our friend Stephen Colbert and Sherry Redstone in Paramount with a different merger and a different pressure point that the government has. And we'll see what happens when they come for Comcast, and they'll see what happens when they come for Warner Brothers Discovery. And maybe you and I will be drawing comic books.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

I'm worried about you. It was pretty much the most direct infringement by the government on free speech that I've seen in my lifetime. Really, Jake Tapper? I mean, forget about the government working with Big Tech to silence thousands of conservatives, including the President of the United States. Forget about, you know, the pro lifers who were jailed for praying or the January 6th protesters who were hunted down and thrown in solitary for walking around the Capitol Building. According to Jake Tapper, none of those crackdowns can possibly compare to Jimmy Kimmel's paid suspension for a couple of days. And then he goes on to make excuses for Stephen Colbert, Seth Meyers and his own show when they're all inevitably canceled. It can't possibly have anything to do with the fact that no one watches them. You know, it has to be the Trump administration's fault. Even if you disagree with what the FCC commissioner said, even if you think that his comments were an unforced error, this is a totally indefensible position for an allegedly serious news anchor to maintain. At most, at most, Brendan Carr would be guilty of getting too loose with his language. If you think? I mean, if you're, if you're inclined to be critical, that's the most you could say. There's no evidence he actually exerted any pressure on abc. He didn't launch any kind of investigation, although, as we discussed last week, he would have been within his rights to launch an investigation according to FCC policies. On the other hand, there's plenty of evidence that Kimmel's affiliates are just tired of his act. They don't think it's good for business when he lies about Charlie Kirk's murder. So they cut him loose for a couple of days to save face, and now he's back on the air, refusing to apologize, playing the victim, and so on. There is no universe in which the situation is comparable to the censorship of thousands of conservatives up to and including the President. And by the way, we see how significant that censorship is, because as we talk about how the, the, there's been a sudden turnaround. Well, now we're now the right, you know, we're winning on all these issues out of nowhere, it seems, and people are wondering how that happened. Well, this is, this is how it happened. It's not a big mystery. It's because we were being prevented from participating in the conversation for many years that there are these big megaphones that the left was allowed to use, and we were not allowed to use that. And, and now we have access to the megaphones also. Now we are also allowed to make our points. And as soon as we were able to do that, look how quickly things changed. And there's another way you could tell that none of these people really mean what they say on the left. There's no outrage whatsoever about the fact that new Apple show called the Savant is now being pulled in the wake of Charlie Kirk's murder. Leftists aren't complaining about censorship or self censorship in this case. They're not clamoring to see a single episode. They're not warning about the chilling effect of the Trump administration's rhetoric in the wake of Charlie's assassination or anything like that. That's because the show very clearly was yet another propaganda effort by Big Tech to portray angry white conservatives as a serious domestic terror threat. It was a bog standard attempt to villainize men like Charlie Kirk. And now that Charlie's dead, there's no point, no point in airing the show because it would backfire. Here's part of the trailer, just to give you an idea. Watch.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

It's gonna be uncoordinated, mass attack. Blood will be shed, locked and loaded, and Planted for months.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

The hunt has begun. What are you doing there? All day, all night.

[Matt Walsh]

Sometimes I track people who are planning the text. My job is pretending to think like them to stop those people from doing really bad things.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

FBI, on your knees.

[Matt Walsh]

That's why we call her the savant. Snipers, bombings, ambushes. We're on the verge of serious violence.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

I've been watching him for a year and a half.

[Matt Walsh]

He's recruiting for something. I don't know what it is, but it's massive.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

So the girl boss, suburban female investigator, is not hunting down trans terrorists. She's not going after antifa. She's not targeting any of the people who actually commit acts of domestic terrorism in this country. Instead, she's going after white conservatives. And since Apple pulled the show, it's reasonable to conclude there was a Charlie Kirk type figure in the plots. It's yet more agit prop to bolster the same exact narrative that got Charlie killed, which is the narrative that conservative white men are Nazis. And you know you know it, the left knows it. That's. That's why they pulled the show. Makes them look even worse than they already do. It would be a massive tactical blunder for Apple to go ahead with the show, especially right now. The reason leftists like Jake Tapper aren't upset with Apple right now is that fundamentally, they don't actually oppose censorship or self censorship on any principled basis at all. They don't value free expression, whether it's on a college campus or in the entertainment industry or YouTube or anywhere else. They only support freedom of speech when it benefits them politically, when they can use it as a rallying cry to demonize their opponents. That's the only time they care about freedom of speech, which is to say they don't actually care about it at all. That goes for Google. It goes for Jimmy Kimmel, goes for Jake Tapper, goes for all of them. And that's why, unless prosecutions and lawsuits are coming, no conservative should talk about this new policy change from Google and celebrate it like it's some big victory. It's meaningless. It's an effort to buy time until they can censor more conservatives if and when the left regains control the federal government. Any Republican who says otherwise or who champions this new policy as some kind of victory is hopelessly naive at best. Put simply, the people who cried when Trump became president cannot be trusted to hold any power over the vital Internet and communications infrastructure in this country. One letter does not change that. Reinstating a few accounts does not change that. The only deterrent these people understand is actual consequences, particularly in the form of prosecutions and lawsuits. The other day, Donald Trump posted a public note to Pam Bondi urging her to accomplish something while in office. Well, this would be a good place to start. Take these executives to court, deal a fatal blow to the censorship regime. Put something in place, put consequences in place so that they can't just ramp it up again in a couple of years. You have their admission in writing. Now, before any more conservative voices disappear from the public stage in the next few years, it's time to use the power that you have. Now, let's get to our five headlines. I was shocked to learn that the liver is actually the second largest organ in your body. Handles over 500 different functions, yet we barely even think about it. Here's the thing though. Over 30% of Americans have a sluggish liver and most of us don't even know it until it's too late. That's why I'm excited to tell you about Dose for your liver. This isn't another supplement. It's a science backed drinkable formula that was specifically created to cleanse your liver of unwanted elements while supporting digestion and keeping your body's natural filter running smoothly. What really impressed me were the clinical results. In a double blind placebo controlled study, dose for your liver actually lowered liver enzyme levels by 50% in over 86% of participants. And get this one shot is equivalent to 17 shots of turmeric juice. When you stick with dose over time you can experience some incredible benefits. More energy, better digestion, reduced bloating, healthier liver enzyme levels plus less brain fog and even better sleep. You get all of that plus it's gluten free, dairy free, sugar free. Most importantly for me personally, it's also vegan. Save 25% on your first month of subscription by going to DueDaily Co Walsh or entering Walsh at checkout.

At least one person is dead. The shooter is also dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound. And the preliminary information from the FBI tells us that the rounds had anti ice messages written on them. So this was of course another case of left wing terrorism. And you know, the the thing is I actually deleted my initial post about this shooting on X because as soon as I heard about it I posted that left wing violence is a National emergency and the federal government has to ruthlessly crack down and crush the terrorist threat. That's why I post. I deleted it because I was just assuming, you know, it was like 30 seconds after I read about it. I was just assuming that it was left wing violence. At the time, I had no information, I had no direct evidence that that was the case. I just assumed it. And, and so then on second thought, I thought, well, that was irresponsible, you know, so I deleted it. But then of course, it turns out that my immediate assumption was correct, which, which, you know, we all knew would be correct. I mean, it's, you know, I knew even when I'm deleting it, like, well, there's a 99.9% chance that this is true, but I just want to be, I want to be cautious. Well, we're at the point now where you don't even need to bother being cautious. I mean, honestly, like the left has a near monopoly on political violence. The pattern now is so clear and so well established that you might as well assume that any act of political violence is left wing until evidence proves otherwise. It's a very safe assumption. It's, you know, it's, it's like, it's like if there's a school shooting, it's safe to refer to the shooter as a he, you know, as him. Even before you know anything. Even before you know a single thing, you know, if, if you're just kind of reflexively saying he and in reference to the shooter. Pretty really safe assumption on, on, on very rare occasion will that assumption be proven wrong. But it's an assumption backed up by statistical data that leans extremely heavily to one side and the same thing here, Same thing here. So I'll have more to say about this case tomorrow. We'll do, we'll do, you know, we'll talk about an opening, opening monologue, but for now, just to kind of reiterate the initial point that I made, you know, we're. Left wing violence is a national emergency. It really is. We can't even go a week anymore without multiple, multiple left wing terror attacks. So the entire force of the federal government must be brought down, as I was saying, ruthlessly to subdue and crush this terrorist threat. When the Biden administration, or the Trump administration rather, is, is saying that Antifa is a domestic terrorist organization. I totally agree. They clearly are. But are we treating them that way or not? Because if they're a domestic terrorist organization, which they are, then every left wing militant who is affiliated with Antifa or Any of its splinter groups should be rounded up and arrested immediately. Like today, the, the, they, they should be out with, with vans and buses rounding up anyone affiliated with Antifa or any of its, any of its associated groups and arresting them. Because that's exactly what we would do with an American that was affiliated with ISIS or Al Qaeda. Just being affiliated with them in the first place is a crime. We don't have to wait for you to actually commit a terrorist attack. We don't have to wait for you to kill somebody. If you, if you're an American and you have, and you have any kind of affiliation with isis, you, you know, you're getting, you're, you're getting arrested and we're probably not going to see you again because that's, that, that should be the consequence of designating something, a terrorist group if we really mean that, which hopefully we do. But so this, this should not just be like a symbolic thing. It shouldn't be just we're symbolically considering Antifa domestic terrorists. No, they are a terrorist group. That is what they are. And they have been that since their inception. Countless acts of politically motivated violence, that's all they do. That is all they do. If Antifa rallies or gets together or, or to do anything, it is always violent. And now we have, what is it, four left wing terror attacks in the past two weeks. You had, of course, the killing of Charlie Kirk. You had the shooting at a country club by somebody shouting Free Palestine. You had the shooting at an ABC affiliated station by somebody who was upset about the Jimmy Kimmel thing, a leftist. And now you have this. That's just, and I'm just talking about two weeks. I mean we could go back. I mean this is, this is a trend that is way that has been going on for far longer than two weeks, obviously and attacks on ICE facilities in particular and ICE agents, that, that has been its own epidemic. But I just want you to imagine something for a moment, okay? Just imagine, imagine that we have a Democrat administration and imagine that a right wing radical shot and killed one of the most famous and influential liberals in the country on, on live television. Okay? And then imagine that in the same week another right wing radical shot up a, you know, left wing, a liberal, you know, meeting of some kind, some kind of organization shouting some right wing slogan, shouting maga. Some, some right wing shot up anything but shouting mag. And the same week a different right wing radical shot up a news station claiming that they had a liberal bias and they were outraged by it. And then a week later a Different right wing radical shoots up a Planned Parenthood. You know, a militant conservative on a, with a sniper rifle on a rooftop shooting at a Planned Parenthood. Imagine that all those things happen by conservatives in the span of two weeks under a Democrat administration. Do you, is there any doubt, is there any doubt what the response would be? I mean, they'd be breaking down my door, right? They'd be, they'd be breaking down my door right now. I mean I'd be getting hauled to, to, to, you know, the FBI would be hauling me away. Every, every influential conservative in the country would be under investigation for inciting, for being involved in inciting this violence. They'd be arresting everybody, okay? Everybody. There would be calls to just shut down Fox News completely. Just shut it, shut it down, board up the, the doors, close it down permanently. There would be mass arrests, okay, like you, if you're, you wouldn't even as a pro lifer, you would not be able to. The, the march for life in January would be, would be. They'd show up with buses and arrest everybody. That's how they'd respond to just this violence in the last two weeks. I'm not even, I mean we could go back and we could talk about, we're not even talking about the trans terrorists who shot up the, the church in, in, in Minnesota. I mean we could go back. We're not talking about the other attacks on ICE agents, the other attacks on law enforcement. We're not even talking about, we're not even talking about the other example of antifa militants just yesterday were outside of a, a federal building, I think it was in Washington state laying siege to a federal building. So like we're just taking, I'm just taking these four. Just pretend it's just these four and flip those around and imagine all that happening in the span of two weeks under a Democrat administration. They would just be arresting everybody. It would be a, it would be a full scale war on, on the right. And it would be merciless and we all know that. And I'm not even calling for the exact sort of response that the left would have in this situation because they have no respect for the rule of law and they're tyrants. And so they would respond by just crushing and suppressing everyone's speech. They would just make it illegal to be a conservative and, and give your opinion publicly. That's what they would do. That's what they would do. Just those four attacks alone would be enough and this would be a national emergency. This is, this is where you Know, this is like martial law and anything goes. That's what they would do. I'm not even saying we should do that because I actually respect the rule of law. I mean, we're conservatives. Rule of law is important. I don't want to suspend it. But this is a national emergency and it should be treated as such. Donald Trump should declare it a national emergency. Should declare a national emergency due to left wing violence, because that's what it is. And while respecting the law and respecting the Constitution, they should be doing everything in their power, and there's a lot they could do in their power legitimately to crack down on these radicals and to treat them as the domestic terrorists that they are. But we'll, we'll talk more about that tomorrow. Okay. Jimmy Kimmel made his, as we mentioned it, made his long awaited return to the air last night. Long awaited for 72 hours, three entire days. 72 hours. Jimmy Kimmel returned from exile was, it was a harrowing 72 hours. Right when he was. They should make a movie about it, Oscar bait, an Oscar bait movie about his seven. It'd be like, what's that movie about the guy that, his arm stuck in a rock. 127 hours, James Franco. So they'll. And I think you won an Oscar for that. So, you know, we, There should be a movie called 72 Hours. Very similar about Jimmy Kimmel's harrowing ordeal, except that instead of being stuck, having his arm stuck in a rock, it's, you know, he's just sitting on his couch in his Beverly Hills mansion watching people compliment him on TV for three days. Yeah, but I can't imagine, I can't imagine what Jimmy's been through. Who could endure, who could endure this, this suffering? Pray, pray that you do not have to go undergo the test as Jimmy Kimmel has. So he came back. Honestly, I didn't watch the monologue. I almost did. I actually went to YouTube to find it because I figured I would talk about it on the show. And so I was looking and then I stopped myself and I said, what the hell? What the hell am I doing? What, what have I become? What have I become? I'm looking up a Jimmy Kimmel monologue. I'm going to watch the whole thing. I've never watched an entire Jimmy Kimmel monologue in my life. So I almost did. And then I realized that, oh, I actually don't care about this at all. I don't care in the slightest. So I didn't, I didn't watch the whole thing. I did See this? Only this brief clip of his. I guess this is supposed to pass for his apology. And here's what that sounded like.

[Jimmy Kimmel]

I don't think what I have to say is gonna make much of a difference. If you like me, like me. If you don't, you don't. I have no illusions about changing anyone's mind. But I do wanna make something clear because it's important to me as a human. And that is, you understand that it was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

I don't. I don't think there's anything funny about it.

[Jimmy Kimmel]

I posted a message on Instagram of the day he was killed sending love to his family and asking for compassion. And I meant it and I still do. Nor was it my intention to blame any specific group for the actions of what it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make. But I understand that to some that felt either ill timed or unclear or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger. I get why you're upset. If the situation was reversed, there's a good chance I'd have felt the same way. I have many friends and family members on the other side who I love and remain close to. Even though we don't agree on politics at all. I don't think the murderer who shot Charlie Kirk represents anyone. This was a sick person who believed violence was a solution. And it isn't it ever.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

So we're supposed to feel sorry for Jimmy now? Now that he's getting all choked up and notice he didn't get choked up after Charlie died. He didn't get emotional about that. That'd be understandable if he, if he was getting emotional about Charlie's murder. I wouldn't judge him at all for that. In fact, I'd have some level of respect for him. It's like showing real empathy for. For someone. For someone on the other side of the political aisle. That's not what's happening here. He's crying not for Charlie, but for himself. He's getting emotional out of self pity. He pities himself because so many people misinterpreted him. He claims, but we didn't misinterpret him. I mean, he absolutely implied that Charlie's killer was a MAGA Republican. And now that that theory is totally unsustainable, he's pivoting to saying that, well, the ideology doesn't matter. This is just a sick person. He's a sick person and you Know, it doesn't matter. He doesn't represent anybody. So there's no accountability here. There's no apology, there's no admission of wrongdoing. And again, remember, Kimmel implied that the shooter was a conservative long after it had been irrefutably proven that he's a leftist militant. I mean, it would be one thing if he just assumed it before we had any facts, which also would have been bad and, and would not have been unlike my assumption about the ICE shooter. You know, assuming that this was a conservative who shot Charlie Kirk doesn't make it like it doesn't make any logical sense. But that's not what happened. This was after we knew that this was a leftist. He went out and made this statement and it was just a flat out lie. And he still refuses to be accountable for it. In fact, he's the opposite of accountable. He has been rewarded. And his show last night, unsurprisingly was the most widely watched show that he's done in a long time. CNN was very happy about that watch.

[Matt Walsh]

CNN's Harry Entin is here to run.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

The numbers for us.

[Matt Walsh]

At this point, I don't think we.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

Have the ratings for TV numbers, but you've been looking online and huge, absolutely huge.

[CNN Analyst or Correspondent]

What are we talking about here? Well, let's take a look at YouTube views Jimmy Kimmel live video views, the six month median. The median video only gets 240,000. Look how many views Tuesday night's monologue already has. 6.7 million. That's over 25 times as large as the median Jimmy Kimmel video normally gets. And I was looking. It is by far the largest video in at least six months. But take a look here. Record high Google searches last night for what time is Jimmy Kimmel on? You wouldn't have to check what time Jimmy Kimmel was on if you were a regular viewer. The reason that people were checking whether at what time Jimmy Kimmel was on because he was pulling, potentially pulling in a lot of viewers who normally didn't watch. And get this, it was up over 10,000 views. Percent My goodness gracious.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

Okay, first of all, again, I must restate. We don't need the guy with the big touchscreen randomly underlining things. Why, why do we need him to underline and circle the words on the screen? It like it says 10,000% in huge bold letters. We can see it on the screen. You don't need to underline it. It's like they're the, it's the only, the only word on this. Like that's it, that's all. It's just, it's right there. You don't need to stand next to it and underline it. We can read it, you know, we can. Well, CNN's audience for the most part can't read. But, but even for them, underlining it isn't helpful. So I just don't understand the point of the touch screen. They love using these touch screens now on cable news. They just, they, they find any excuse they can to use them and they've all got the touchscreen guy that stands by the screen and circle stuff. You see this here? Well, look at the. I don't. It's like they, it's, it'd be one thing if this was some impressive piece of technology and they were just, they were just finding any excuse to use it. It'd be one thing if this was a hologram or something. If this was a Star wars esque hologram technology and they were just finding any reason to use it, then I would get that, I would, I would accept that. But it's a touchscreen. We've had, you know, we had, since I was a kid, we've had touchscreens. Every time I see this, it really reminds me of when I was in high school. I had a teacher who had a dry erase board, a big dry, instead of a chalkboard, a dry erase board. And he, and he liked to use it, but he didn't know how to use it. He's the only teacher I ever saw that had this problem where he didn't know like what. When he was talking about something, he was never sure what to write on the board to help illustrate the point and to give us a visual learning experience. So he would just, at random points just write a word or phrase or underline something. And then so by the end of the lesson you, if you look at what's on the board, it was just like the schizophrenic looking thing of random where you couldn't make it, you couldn't draw a connection. And I remember one time he was talking about perspiration and he started to write perspiration on the board but then you could tell he realized he didn't know how to spell it. So he just stopped at pers P E R s and then continued talking. At another point he came back around and he said perspiration again. So he circled it. And so at the end of the lesson the only thing on the board was purrs circled. That was it just not a helpful visual Aid is all I'm saying. And I always think of that when I see this, CNN's touchscreen guy. More to the point, they're trying to impress us with his, his, you know, big numbers. But all they've proven is that, which, what we already knew, which is that Kimmel is irrelevant. Like, they tell us that he's averaging 240,000 views per video on YouTube. Now, that's respectable. If you're like a podcaster, that's probably about what I'm averaging over the past month. I don't know, I haven't looked, but, you know, it's probably something like that over the last month and. But I'm just one guy sitting in a room, like, talking to the camera. I'm not employed by a major network. I'm not promoted by the mainstream media. I don't have celebrities coming on my show. You know, I don't have an army of writers helping generate content. I don't get paid $15 million a year like, like Kimmel does. And also, this is not even a primarily video format. I mean, it's an audio podcast with a video element. So most of the audience listens on Apple or Spotify. We also have an audience on the DW platform. So it just goes to show why late night TV is dying. It's just like it's not sustainable online. You're getting the kind of audience that a political podcast can generate with a tiny fraction of the production budget. And none of the marketing, none of the promotion, none of that. And you're getting, you know, the same kind of audience, which is really, and a stat. I looked this up. Kimmel has a staff of 200 people working on just his show. I can tell you nothing. I don't have 200 people. I don't have 200 people working. I can't even imagine that working with a staff of 200 people that are dedicated just to your show. 200 people, $15 million a year salary, endless promotion from the mainstream media. You work for abc, okay? You're owned by Disney and like a multi, multi, multi billion dollar conglomerate. And what's Your online audience? 240,000 for all of that. So all that combined effort and all that money, and that's what you get. You get again, what someone like, you know, a couple of producers sit in front of a camera, talk about the news. It's the same kind of audience. So it's just not. This is why late night is dying. There's just this. And this really shows. And then this was his most what do they say? It was a 7 million. Which, yeah, that's a lot. Like 7 million. It's, that's, that's a lot. But they want us to be impressed by that. Only a few days after Charlie's memorial, what was the audience for that? It was a hundred million. A hundred million. Not even counting the, like hundreds of thousands of people who physically showed up and then a hundred million more watching on, online, on various platforms. And then, you know, they look at 7 million and they want us to be totally blown away by it. One other quick thing to mention. Politico. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has shuttered a nearly century old committee created to expand the role of women in the military, part of a broader effort to redefine the image of the armed forces. The closure of the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services is Hegseth's latest effort to rid the Pentagon of efforts that don't fit into his warrior ethos. Vision for the department and service academies has also shut down a program that boosts the number of women in peace building and conflict prevention efforts, calling it woke and divisive. So it won't surprise you to hear that I'm very much in favor of this. This should be uncontroversial. If we lived in a, in a time where common sense and rationality reign supreme, it would be uncontroversial. We don't quite, I think common sense is very much making a comeback, but I don't think we quite live in that world yet. So maybe it is still a little controversial. Even if you think that this is the point, that even if you think that women should be allowed in the military, even if you think they should be permitted, you should still agree that obviously we shouldn't be out there making any special effort to actively recruit them or to expand their role. I mean, it's one thing to allow them to have a role. And I don't, and I say this is someone, I don't think they should have any role. Certainly, certainly not in combat. But that's one argument, right? I think it's a bad argument, but it's one thing to say, well, they should, we should let them have a role. And that's always kind of like when we, when we argue about this topic, that's always the position we're arguing against. If you're, again, if you don't think that women should have combat roles, you're kind of, you're, you're arguing against the position that says they shouldn't be allowed. But that's not really right. That is. That's the left kind of bat. As they often do, for the sake of the argument, they're backing down to a. To a slightly more defensible position. But that's not really their position, because what their position really is is not just that women should be allowed, but that we should do everything we can to actively recruit them specifically and to get as many of them into the military as possible and to expand their role in every single area. That's what they actually think. It's just that in a debate, they won't defend that position because it is impossible to defend. Just totally impossible. Because why would we do that? In. In what way does that help anything? Has any military ever been made stronger by expanding the role that women play in it? Has that ever happened in history? I'm not even asking if there's ever been a military that had women in it and was also strong and formidable. I'm asking whether any military has ever been improved, has ever been made stronger, has ever been made more formidable by adding women. Like, imagine two militaries, right? You've got one, it's the same. You got one where it's all. It's 100 men in every role. Every. All men, right? And then you've got. And then. And then now, now take that same military and whereas before it was 100 men, now imagine that it's 40% women. It's only 6% men, 40% women. Could you make the argument that. That the. In the latter case, it is now stronger, it's now better at being a military because there are fewer men and more women. I think that you clearly cannot make that argument. There's no. I mean, you couldn't give any example, you couldn't give any measurable, Any data to. To make that argument. So. So clearly this was the right move by Pete Hegseth.

Here's a little piece of trivia to file away under the good timing category. The brand name Tylenol was first introduced back in 1955 by a company called McNeil Laboratories. They marketed it as a way to reduce Fevers in children. Just four years later, the growing pharmaceutical giant Johnson and Johnson bought McNeil Laboratories along with the rights to Tylenol. They quickly started selling the drug over the counter beginning in 1959. That arrangement continued for decades, right up until two years ago. After nearly 70 years of owning the Tylenol brand, Johnson and Johnson decided to hand off Tylenol to a spin off company called Kenview. They also jettisoned a couple other well known brands including Band Aid and Listerine, placed them under the control of Kenview. Now whatever you think of Tylenol, you have to admit that this transition came at precisely the right time. In just the last month, Kenview's stock is down by around 20%. Meanwhile, Johnson and Johnson is down only 1%. In other words, looks like Johnson and John successfully insulated themselves from the brand damage, or at least a lot of the brand damage that has resulted from increased government scrutiny on Tylenol. Two days ago, as you may have seen, that government scrutiny boiled over the President United States, looking directly at the cameras, told pregnant women not to take Tylenol. He said it's too dangerous. In the vast majority of cases watch.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

Tylenol during pregnancy can be associated with, with a very increased risk of autism. So taking Tylenol is not good. I'll say it, it's not good. For this reason, they are strongly recommending that women limit Tylenol use during pregnancy unless medically necessary. That's for instance, in cases of extremely high fever that you feel you can't tough it out, you can't do it. I guess there's that.

[Matt Walsh (continuation or main host)]

For Big Pharma and the media outlets that take millions of dollars in advertising money from Big Pharma, this statement was a five alarm fire. Tylenol generates something like a billion dollars in annual sales. Every week, 25% of Americans take a drug that contains the active ingredient in Tylenol. Any brand damage could quickly amount to massive financial losses. So right away every network did their best to neutralize the story. Here was CBS for example.

[CNN or CBS News Reporter/Anchor]

We begin tonight with the President of the United States promoting a link between the risk of autism and the active ingredient in an over the counter pain and fever medicine. The President, flanked by his health secretary Robert F. Kennedy, told pregnant women to only use Tylenol if they can't, quote tough it out. The announcement of a link is drawing criticism from scientists and doctors who say there's not enough evidence to back the claim. CBS News medical contributor Dr. Sling Gounder joins me now. Dr. Gander, let's just Start with the basic question. Is there a proven link between prenatal use of acetaminophen and autism?

[Matt Walsh]

No, John. The best evidence we have does not show that Tylenol causes autism. They cherry picked a couple studies that they thought back to their claims. They ignored the lion's sheriff studies that argue against Tylenol causing autism. The best recent study argue argues against a causal link. This is a study from Sweden looking at siblings, 2.5 million births. And when they compared siblings, so they're controlling for family genetics and other risk factors, they found no association with autism and adhd. And I also want to note major medical associ. Medical association organizations continue to advise that Tylenol can be used during pregnancy. These are the people who care for and about their patients. They have no political points to gain here.

So the major medical associations disagree with the administration and of course we can trust them. It's not as if the major medical associations were wrong about COVID about transgenderism, about SSRIs, HDHD, ADHD, pretty much every other significant issue in the past 20 years related to medicine. They say Tylenol is safe. And so that's good enough for CBS News. Now here's the part where I should say I'll happily admit that I take really no position on whether Tylenol indeed causes autism or contributes to it. I don't know enough about the subject to make an informed judgment. I haven't done really any research into it. So I don't know. I do find it very compelling that even Tylenol agrees that you shouldn't take Tylenol while pregnant. You're not going to hear anybody on CBS News mention this, but Tylenol's Twitter account tweeted this back in 2017 in response to somebody else. We actually don't recommend using any of our products while pregnant. Thank you for taking the time to voice your concerns today. And there are actually a bunch of tweets like this where they say that so, so you know that that's very interesting. And now maybe we know why they issued that warning. Just a few weeks ago, a dean at Harvard School of Public Health, Andrea Baccarelli, conducted a study funded by the NIH NIH which found a, quote, association between Tylenol exposure during pregnancy and increased incidence of neurodevelopment disorders, including autism. He published a study in the journal BMC Environmental Health that's been widely circulated online and he worked with researchers at the School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. So this wasn't a one off study from a Random crackpot. And again, it's not an old study. It's from a few weeks ago. But to be fair, as the CBS doctor pointed out, there are studies showing a different conclusion. And I've seen various criticisms of the Harvard study focusing on the methodology. New York Times also just published a hit piece on the dean at Harvard saying he took $150,000 to testify as an expert witness in a lawsuit against the company that makes Tylenol. Of course, all these studies and experts are being funded by somebody. Every single one of them has a conflict of interest if you look hard enough. I mean, any study of this nature is. It's being done for a reason. Somebody's funding it. And which is why I'm just, I don't, I don't give a lot of weight to studies in general for this reason. And if you've been paying attention for a while, you know that the media for roughly a decade has been warning us that Tylenol can cause autism and other behavioral disorders. Watch.

It's supposed to be the safe option. Acetaminophen, most widely known as Tylenol, is routinely prescribed by doctors for pregnant women in pain. But a new large study out of Denmark calls this long standing practice into question. In the study, women using the common pain reliever during pregnancy were more likely to have children who went on to have adhd. The research is raising concerns tonight that a acetaminophen could be linked to autism and adhd. Acetaminophen is the most commonly used medication for pain and fever during pregnancy. Well, now we're learning that women who take it when pregnant may be exposing their baby to an increased risk of behavioral problems and other disorders such as Tourette Syndrome.

A new study from Johns Hopkins found taking acetaminophen late in pregnancy may be associated with a higher risk of having a child with autism or or adhd.

New research out of Spain is raising concerns about prenatal exposure to acetaminophen. A popular brand in the United States is, of course, Tylenol. A study from Spain included data from over 70,000 children. It shows though those whose mothers took acenametopen during pregnancy were about 20% more likely to develop ADHD or autism symptoms.

If you go back long enough, you'll find that medical experts have contradicted themselves on pretty much every single topic, just like this. They'll tell you A few drinks of wine can add years to your life, and then they'll tell you on the next, the next breath that actually can cause cancer, you know, and there are a million examples like this. It's all very confusing, which may be the point. There's never been a clear answer on what causes autism or how. But that hasn't stopped the experts from offering theories, only to walk them back a few years later. In the 1950s, the refrigerator mother theory was popular. The idea was that if women don't demonstrate maternal warmth towards their children, then their children are likely to become autistic. Today, the explanation has fallen out of favor. Autism is widely considered to be a genetic phenomenon. In any event, for one reason or another, autism cases among young children have risen, there's no doubt about it, by roughly 400% in the past two decades. A statistic that strongly suggests that we changed something that should not have been changed. In case it's not abundantly obvious, I'm in no position to pass judgment on any of these theories, but I am in a position, a very good position, to judge the hordes of pregnant liberal women on TikTok who are currently slamming down Tylenol on camera for the sole purpose of telling Donald Trump who's boss. And this is a phenomenon that has predictably taken hold very, very quickly. Within hours of Trump's press conference, the pill bottles came out. Watch.

28 weeks pregnant. You know what? I'm gonna take some metylenol, acetaminophen. It's gonna work like a charm, and my baby won't have autism. It foreign.

To know how much Tylenol was consumed when these women were in the womb themselves. That'd be a valuable data point for Harvard and Mount Sinai. Really, there's only two options here. Either these women are desperately hoping to give birth to the next Greta Thunberg, or they're risking the health of their children for some likes on Tick Tock. I mean, neither option is good, but that's what we're left with. Again, I'm no doctor, but none of these women appear to actually need Tylenol at the moment. They don't seem to be in any kind of distress. Seems they're just taking it to take it. They're taking it out of spite. I mean, as a general rule, I. I would say, and you don't need a medical degree to say this, that taking any kind of pharmaceutical out of spite is always wrong. That's. That's never a good reason to ingest any kind of chemical into Your body is out of spite. You know, they. These women are discarding the possibility that Tylenol causes brain disorders, a possibility that no one can actually refute conclusively. And there is good evidence that that could be the case. And they're doing it in exchange for praise on the Internet, and they're doing it in large numbers. If you happen to notice that Tylenol is running low at your local drugstore, this is probably why, because all the women in your area, all the liberal women, are wanting to make TikTok videos. This is an image that's currently going viral on Instagram. It reads, autism doesn't need to be cured. Yes, leftists would rather embrace a neurological disorder than give the Trump administration any kind of credence. That's where we are. At the same time, as dark as this situation is, I have to admit, it's amusing to see that, once again, these people will immediately do the opposite of whatever Trump says. I mean, we all know this is not any great revelation. I'm not saying anything you don't know. But there's not a single issue under any circumstance where these women can admit that, actually Trump may have a point at an intellectual level, at an instinctual level, rather, they have to contradict whatever Trump says. They have to make a very public showing of disagreeing with Trump so that all their friends know that they're not on board. And this is a power that Trump has that I, frankly, I wish he would use more that he can get these liberal women to do. He can get them to do anything. Get them to do anything just by urging them to do the opposite of that thing. So I can tell you one thing I wish. I wish Trump would come out and claim that, you know, it's a bad idea to shower every day overnight. You would fix the hygiene problem on the left if only he would say that. Now, of course, the downside is you have a bunch of liberal women, like, taking videos of themselves in the shower, so we'd have to see that. But. But the plus side is that, you know, things would smell a lot better around here, but fixing the abject stupidity might be a tougher challenge. Here's one more video in this new genre of women downing Tylenol to own Trump watch.

[Matt Walsh]

About to take Tylenol for my headache while pregnant because I don't take my medical advice from a man who doesn't have a degree in science, healthcare, or medicine and who had a parasitic brain infection and was addicted to heroin for 14 years. Yeah, I'll trust my doctors who have their degree.

This is another common sentiment on the left. They're completely unaware that many studies exist, including from the public health school at Harvard, that agree with the Trump administration. The dean at Harvard who wrote the autism study has an MD as well as a master's and a PhD but his opinion doesn't count in left wing circles. As always, credentialism is just a way to advance the narrative. If you have credentials and agree with them, then they'll cite your credentials. If you have credentials and you don't agree with them, then they'll drown themselves in Tylenol and pretend you don't exist. As entertaining as these people are, there is one more irony to discuss here, that this Tylenol obsession is yet another example of the left rushing to the defense of Big Pharma without any self awareness. And there's no doubt that every single woman in these TikTok videos would say that billionaires are a cancer, that capitalism has to be dismantled and all the rest of it. And yet, for all their affinity for socialism when it comes to Big Pharma, they're, they're, they're playing the white knight and they do this all the time. White knighting for Big Pharma. Frankly, there's something very funny and ironic about watching a bunch of communists valiantly defend the profit interests of the multi billion dollar pharmaceutical industry to the point that they're willing to, you know, chug Tylenol. On camera the good news is that once again, these people have exposed not only their hypocrisy, but also their ignorance and stupidity. The bad news is that in about 12 years, an army of Greta Thunbergs might descend upon us. And that is why all of the pregnant leftist women who are overdosing on Tylenol to spite Donald Trump are today canceled. Gotta do with the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
