MATT WALSH (HOST): So it really becomes a question of what next? Where do we go from here? We're gonna we're gonna have to keep fighting back against the trans agenda. It's losing. It's not gone, though. And so it will still be there as something that we have to contend with. As long as there's even one child being indoctrinated into this madness or abused or, you know, physically harmed or mentally harmed by this by this indoctrination — as long as that's the case, then the fight will continue.
But from a larger sort of strategic perspective, when you look at the kind of the culture war generally, what comes next? And, you know, I think the fight moves on — it's interesting because the fight moves now, in my opinion, to take on feminism once and for all, and that's the next great battle.
It's a battle that's, of course, been waging for for many years, for decades. But it takes center stage because gender ideology is a product of feminism after all. It's an outgrowth of it. The feminists were the first to deny the fundamental differences between the sexes. That was them. They were the first to say that gender is a social construct. That was them. Feminism has always been the underlying sickness with this stuff, and it is still the most destructive ideology in human history. 60 million children dead, millions of destroyed marriages, millions of broken homes, utter devastation wrought by feminism. So that's where we must turn our attention.
And this is also why — you know, there's this debate going on online right now that I'm a part of about — where there are some even on the right saying that, well, you know, the feminists, they — say what you want about them, but they really get the credit for this. They were leading the charge here against the trans ideology. And the first thing about that is that in the UK, that is true mainly because social conservatives don't exist in the UK. They're not there. They don't exist. They've been driven out of society long ago in the UK. So sure in the UK, I think there's no doubt that the feminists led the charge. In this country, no. In this country, absolutely not. That is not the case. The vast majority of the pushback against gender ideology and especially the most effective pushback against gender ideology in this country, without a doubt, has been social conservatives.
But more importantly, the reason why — and, you know, I get flack for this. They say, why don't you give more credit to the feminists, even in the UK? Well, I give credit to anyone who spoke up and did the right thing. The reason why I can't give you a ton of credit is that you're part of the movement that created this problem. This is your mess. This is the monster you made. So when you're part of the movement that creates a mess, the fact that a few of you stepped up to help clean it up, I don't give you a ton of credit. You know, you knock over the milk and spill it on the ground. You want me to thank you for cleaning it? That's your obligation.
