How 'Neurodivergence' Became An Insanely Popular New Trend · The Matt Walsh Show

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Now, we've all heard the radio ads about owing the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: IRS money. They try to scare you and frighten you
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: into calling. Well, tax relief advocates is different. If you
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: owe the IRS $ 5, 000, $ 50, 000, or $ 500, 000, TRA has a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: solution to resolve your tax problem. Don't lose hope. TRA
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: could reduce or even eliminate what you owe. Their passion
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: is taxes and helping regular people and businesses fix their
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: IRS mess. They have over 1,000 five-star Google reviews and
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: an A-plus with the Better Business Bureau. You don't have
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to be afraid of the IRS anymore. Real tax relief
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: programs are available that can give you a fresh start.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: So don't wait. Go to TRA.com. It's TRA.com or call 800-575-1753. Again,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: that's 800-575-1753. Tax relief advocates, real solutions for real people.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Well, it's election day, which means regardless of your politics,
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: you're being bombarded with a lot of very negative, frankly,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: depressing messages right now. And if you're a conservative, of course,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you're told that the midterms are going to be a blowout.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: But even on the left, where they're expecting a massive
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: victory today, the mood still is not optimistic or uplifting
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: in any way. And that makes sense because it's hard
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: for anyone to be truly enthusiastic about anything the left
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: is promoting when you get down to it. The whole
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: ideology is about bringing the rest of civilization down to
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: their level, not about creating anything new and inspiring. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the end result is that, although I haven't checked any
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: studies on this, and in fact, I'm simply just making
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: it up on the spot, Americans are more depressed right
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: now than they've been during any midterm election in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: history of the country. And that fake, but maybe mostly
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: true statistic is troubling enough that I've decided to do
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: something a little different today. Instead of talking about exit
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: polls and, you know, making wild guesses about how the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: election is going to turn out, because frankly, I don't know.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: And my election predictions have been remarkably consistent in how
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: terrible they've been throughout my entire career. We're going to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: lighten the mood a little bit, sort of. And specifically
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: for reasons that may never become clear, we're not even
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: going to talk about current events or anything with a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: news hook.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: That'd be too easy. It'd make too much sense.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Instead, we're going to talk about a fictional made-up term
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: that's very fashionable lately.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: And that term is Neurodivergence.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: In fact, neurodivergence is a current event, as it turns out,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: and it's linked very closely to what we're watching unfold
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: politically in our country and across the entire Western world.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: It's more than just a trendy buzzword, as we will see.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: So I think it's worth talking about. And in case
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you're not familiar with neurodivergence, what's happened is that the
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: left has become so weird and erratic that they invented
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a new word to describe it.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: And it's catching on.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: And by one estimate, neurodiversity mentions in US job postings
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: have nearly tripled in recent years. And additionally, according to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: one nonprofit, social media mentions of neurodivergence more than quadrupled
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: between 2021 and 2025, and they're still climbing. Now, we
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: could try to define neurodivergence for you, but there's no
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: way that we could match the eloquent, brilliant, practically Churchillian
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: definition provided by these Neurodivergent Canadians talking to a public
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: access TV show in Saskatoon. And for our audio podcast listeners,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the person who's speaking in this clip appears to be
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: dressed as maybe the villain from the Rocky and Bullwinkle show,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: whose name is Snidely Whiplash, by the way, in case
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: you aren't up on your 1960s cartoon lore. And the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: host of the program appears to be kind of an
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: oversized version of Jason Rance, who you might have seen
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: on Fox News. So these are some pretty relevant, widely
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: recognizable references we're giving you today. Jason Rance and Snidely Whiplash.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Anyway, here it is.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Watch.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Neurodivergence is a numerous amount of different types of disabilities.
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: A majority of those are invisible ones. So you have
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: your autism. You have your ADHD. People could have dyslexia.
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: So it falls under that obscure, weird little space there.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: So you have so many different types of things, it's
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: hard to list them all because there's so many out there.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: But it affects the way that a person learns and
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: the way they can remember things, the way they read things.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: It affects their language.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So you got to feel a little bad for that woman.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: She was apparently told that everyone would be wearing their
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Halloween costumes for the interview. So she got dressed up
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: in her glitter shirt and her Salvador Dali mustache, only
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: to arrive and find out that she was the only
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: one participating.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: That's always embarrassing.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Or maybe not, because I think the person next to
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: her is a man dressed as a woman. But she's
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: a woman dressed as a man. He's a man dressed
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: as a woman. It's hard to know what exactly is.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Going on there.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And as for the substance of their discussion, if I
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: heard it correctly, neurodivergence consists of, quote, a numerous amount
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: of types of disabilities, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and that obscure,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: weird little space there.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: It's actually hard to list all.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: The various elements of neurodivergence, we're told, because it's such
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: an expansive category. Neurodivergence affects learning, reading, language. It's all
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: under the umbrella of neurodivergence. So says Snidely. Now, according
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: to a Canadian named John Connor, and that is his
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: real name, I think, this footage is indeed authentic.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: This is not like a skit.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Quote, The Post is a genuine episode of the community
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: access TV show Inclusive YXE, episode 12, produced and hosted
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: by Skylar Klein for Rogers TV in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. This
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: episode features the co-founders of the local all-ages drag group
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Wigged Out YXE, Silver Phoenix and Hijinx, discussing neurodivergence and
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: inclusion in the local drag scene. The person in the
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: purple sequined shirt, black wig and a drawn-on mustache is
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: one of the drag performers appearing as a guest. The
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: show is funded by Rogers Media, who are mandated to
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: run this type of nonsense by the Canadian government.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Now, I couldn't resist, so I.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Went looking for more episodes of InclusiveYXE. Perhaps the only
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: time in my life that I've deliberately sought out content
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that was created by the Canadian government. And I don't
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think I'll ever do it again. But on this special occasion,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: with this great new trend underway that's sweeping the Anglo world,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I thought a deep dive would be appropriate. And to
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: get it, we need to talk to the real experts
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and really explore all the content they have to offer.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: And I have to say, after spending....
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: Multiple minutes researching, upwards of five, even six minutes, I
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: believe that InclusiveYXE is probably, probably the greatest public access
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: TV show in all of Saskatoon. When Rolling Stone unveils
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: its top 100 public access shows in Saskatoon, Saskatoon list,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I'll be shocked and appalled if this program is not
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: at least in the top three. And to prove that point,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I came across this episode of Inclusive YXE, which was
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: actually shot on location. So there's apparently enough money in
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the budget to leave the studio, do some original reporting
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in the field. And in this case, the footage was
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: shot on location at an alleged church of some kind,
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: which was hosting an all-ages drag show. And you already
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: know that this church is not a real church, first
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: of all, because it's hosting a drag show, but second,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: because it hasn't been burned down. Typically, Canada likes to
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: burn down its churches. That's usually their approach. Unless the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: church isn't actually a church, in which case it'll be safe.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: So as you watch this, keep in mind it's a
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: demonstration of neurodivergence in action. When people talk about neurodivergence,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: this is what they're referring to.
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: I'm on location at the Rigged Out All Ages Drag
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: Show at Grosvenor Park United Church. And with me, I
• 7:50
  Speaker 5: have Missy Devine. How are you, Missy?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Good.
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: Thank you for having me.
• 7:54
  Speaker 6: This is honestly, like, I'm really happy to work with
• 7:57
  Speaker 6: you guys again. I was very excited when I got
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: that DM from you since the parade.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: So, yeah. Yeah, for sure. The Pride Parade was extremely
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: fun and we're glad to have done coverage with Rogers
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: TV on it. That was so much fun.
• 8:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 5: So for those viewers who don't know, what exactly is drag?
• 8:15
  Speaker 6: Drag, it's sort of basically kind of an art form
• 8:20
  Speaker 6: that expresses, I guess, like gender.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: Well, I guess.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: Gender expression, whether it's male, female, or kind of somewhere
• 8:29
  Speaker 6: in between.
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: It can be almost anything.
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: So you've been a performer with Wigdelt for a while.
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: What have you found interesting? really enjoyable, and is there
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: a lot of feedback, positive or negative, that you get
• 8:44
  Speaker 5: from the audience?
• 8:46
  Speaker 6: I'm like, how much time do we have? Okay, so, yeah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 6: I've kind of found, like, I really enjoy doing it
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: more so technically. Well, also for the community, and plus
• 8:56
  Speaker 6: I can put all of, like, my talents into kind
• 8:58
  Speaker 6: of one, which is all my passions into one, which is, like,
• 9:01
  Speaker 6: makeup and, like, performing and kind of fashion. So, yeah.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: I would say not that.
• 9:08
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: So in case you didn't catch the definition from Ursula
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: from The Little Mermaid there. So she tells us that
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: drag is, quote, sort of basically kind of an art
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: form that expresses, I guess, gender like gender expression. Now,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: you don't expect a Canadian LGBT activist to know very
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: much or really anything about anything or to be able
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: to offer coherent definitions of very many words or any,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: but you would expect at the very least they could
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: tell you what drag is. If there's one subject they
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: should be able to speak coherently about, you would think
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: it would be that. If there's one question that won't
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: stump this brain trust, you would think it would be
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: the question, what is drag? And yet this drag performer
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: is helpless to explain what it is. It's sort of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: basically kind of an expression that expresses gender expression, I guess.
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: With that kind of circular logic and, you know, panicky equivocating,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: you'd think she was asked something really difficult, like what
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: is a woman? But no, just what is drag? In
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: any case, this is how indoctrination works in Canada. This
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: is why the country is weak, embarrassing, and passive, allowing
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: itself to be conquered and while they obsess over climate
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: change and transgenderism and.
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: All the rest of it. Starts at a very young age.
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: You know, the Canadian government forces children of all ages
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: to watch horrific, grotesque displays like this, where it looks
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: like the drag performer is having some kind of medical episode.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: And the children aren't allowed to.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: Laugh at any point. You know, to pretend this is
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: all totally normal.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And they become adults, and naturally they're extremely confused and
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: very easy to manipulate at that point. They've internalized this
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: idea that freak shows like this are completely normal, and
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: then they elect these people to the government and insanity
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: becomes the law of the land. So behold, for example,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the neurodivergent lawmaker from Manitoba telling residents to let home
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: invaders take whatever they want from their property.
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 11:05
  Speaker 8: What happens when they go onto the property of someone
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: who is living in fear because they have a politician
• 11:11
  Speaker 8: who's telling them that they need to stand their ground
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: and defend their property? It's fear-mongering. That leads to people
• 11:19
  Speaker 8: making really bad decisions in moments where it matters most.
• 11:23
  Speaker 8: Fear does really strange things to people. It makes you like,
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: you can't think rationally in that moment. You're in flight
• 11:31
  Speaker 8: or fight. Why would we want to put people in
• 11:34
  Speaker 8: that position? Why would we want to give people this power?
• 11:38
  Speaker 8: It's absurd.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Now it's easy to say, you know, if they want
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: to steal, let them. But what if a right-wing burglar
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: raided the homes of the many neurodivergent lawmakers in Canada
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: and took their home run therapy in their train sets?
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We all know what happened. They'd be calling for martial law.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: They'd throw them in a dungeon, in fact. And actually,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: things are so bad in Canada, and they're so terrified
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: of giving anything a name or definition, that their confusion
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: is even reflected by their geographical features now. As a
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: reporter with the National Post points out, the Canadian government
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: announced a few weeks ago that the Mackenzie River, is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: a Canadian Heritage River.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: The point is that, in making this announcement, they did
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: not call the Mackenzie River the Mackenzie River.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: Instead, they called it, officially.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: The Decho-Dejo-Kukpak-Nag-Wichunjik-Grand Riviera-Fluve-Mackenzie-Mackenzie River. There's slashes in between all those.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: That's evidently the official name of this river. Its official
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: name is seven different names, lest any indigenous group be excluded.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: You might make the argument that it kind of makes
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: a certain kind of sense for a river to be
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: gender fluid. You might also make the argument that I'm
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: only wedging the story into the monologue simply to make
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: that gender fluid pun that I just made, which was lame,
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: but I did it.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: We can't go back now. And both of those arguments
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: might be.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Correct, but I do want to show you this from
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: the Parks Canada press release concerning the date show slash
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: day host slash cook box slash Nagwitch-Unjik-Grand Riviera-Flueve-McKenzie-McKenzie River. It says, quote,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: including its tributaries, the river expands over 4,200 kilometers in length.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Its significance is reflected in its names and the indigenous
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: languages and dialects that are spoken along its length. The
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: English interpretation of each of these names, Decho-Deho-Grand Riviera-Kukpak-Nagwitch-Unjik-Flueve-McKenzie is
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: simply Big River.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: So if you're ever confused about
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: the size of this particular river, well, hopefully that confusion
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: has now been cleared up. It's a big river. They
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: want you to know this is a big river. Although, frankly,
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: I think the river is a little full of itself.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: I looked it up on a map.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: After all this big river hype, I looked like, how
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: big is this river? It's not that big. The Mississippi
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: River is bigger.
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: So Canada couldn't even manage to have the biggest river
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: in North America, which is pretty embarrassing. The internet seems
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: incapable of discussing college normally. Every 18-year-old needs a four-year
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: degree at any cost, or all higher education is a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: scam invented to sell sweatshirts.
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: Both positions are lazy.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: The real question is whether a university offers an education
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: worth the time and expense. And that's where Grand Canyon
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: University stands apart.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: From all the rest.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: GCU offers more than 100 online undergraduate degrees, giving students
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: the flexibility to begin college or return and finish what
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: they started without putting the rest of their lives on hold.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: GCU also works to make private higher education accessible. In
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: addition to federal grants and aid, its online students received
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: nearly $ 200 million in institutional scholarships in 2025. What I
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: respect about GCU is that it combines practical career preparation
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: with a free market system, a welcoming Christian worldview, and
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: free and open discourse. Students are prepared for the workforce
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: without being told to abandon their faith or stop thinking
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: for themselves. That's a version of higher education that I
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: am willing to defend. It's easy to say higher education
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: is outdated, irrelevant, but at Grand Canyon University, they don't
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: settle for the status quo.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: They shatter it.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: GCU's accredited MBA program is 100% online and is designed
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: to shape leaders through servant leadership. GCU can help you
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: take your passion and scale your business to serve your community.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: This is purpose-driven education. Take action. Find your purpose, Grand
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: Canyon University. Visit gcu.edu.
• 15:45
  Speaker 9: President Trump secured the border, passed historic tax cuts, and
• 15:49
  Speaker 9: ended woke ideology. But if the left wins the midterms,
• 15:53
  Speaker 9: they'll undo all of his hard work. They tried impeaching him.
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: The president is impeached.
• 15:58
  Speaker 9: They tried putting him in prison. They tried everything, and
• 16:02
  Speaker 9: they'll do it again. Don't let the radical left win.
• 16:04
  Speaker 9: Make a plan, find your poll, and vote on elections.
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, so this lunacy brings us back to neurodivergence, which
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is supposed to be the topic at hand. And although
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: you won't hear this on Canadian state media, the truth
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: is that neurodivergent is the latest in a long train
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: of euphemisms that started with retarded and became slow and
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: then became autistic and then became mentally challenged and then
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: handicapped and.
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: Then handicapable and then autistic again.
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And then finally it landed on neurodivergent. So it's been
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: a very long journey to this point. We had to
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: run through several different cycles of inclusivity to arrive at neurodivergent.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: And with the arrival of this latest euphemism, the concept
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: has become more expansive and less coherent and trendier than
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: ever before. Nobody really wanted to be mentally handicapped. Back
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: when we called it mentally handicapped, it really just applied
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: to actually mentally handicapped people because nobody wanted to be
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: mentally handicapped.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: But lots of people want to be neurodivergent.
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Every influencer on TikTok wants to be neurodivergent and claims
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: to be.
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: And by the way, if you break down the word.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Neurodivergent, it comes with the prefix neuron from the Greek
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: for nerve and divergence, of course, which comes from the
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: Latin verb diverge, which together means different than normal. Which,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if you're paying attention at home, it applies
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to basically everyone. Everyone in some aspect of their thinking
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: can be described as different from normal to some degree.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: No one has the same level of emotional regulation, attention span, memory,
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: language ability, or anything else as everyone else. So there's
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: a fundamental problem here with how we're trying to divide
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: people into normal and neurodivergent. The whole concept of neurodivergent
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: rests on the assumption of some kind of normal baseline
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: mental state which the divergent are diverging from. But there
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: is no normal baseline mental state. There isn't one single
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: normal brain or normal way of thinking that we can
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: use as our frame of reference. We can't say that
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: anything is diverging unless we know what it's diverging from.
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: If you look into the history of where this word
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: came from, it apparently originated, as all good ideas do,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: with members of autistic self-advocacy communities that emerged online when
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: many people got access to the Internet. That's according to
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: something called the National Autistic Society in the UK. The
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: basic idea is that a bunch of autistic people discovered
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: how to log on to message boards, and among themselves,
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: they determined that, quote, autistic brains are wired differently from
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: the mainstream on a fundamental level. And the epicenter of
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: this brain trust was something called the NLV mailing list
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: and forum, where the, this is short for independent living
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: on the autistic spectrum, apparently. And before long, these autistic
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: individuals decided to become more inclusive and And so this
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: is from the National Autistic Society, quote, a 1996 post
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: in the InLev forum by Tony Langdon refers to neurological
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: diversity of people. This may be the first expression of
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: the concept. In a follow-up post, Langdon wrote, a lot
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: of this curing needs to be applied to society at
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: large rather than to autistic people, a.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: Key idea in the neurodiversity paradigm.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: The journalist Harvey Bloom, who was a member of InLev,
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: is often credited with popularizing the concept of neurodiversity and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: autistic community through two mass media articles, Autistics Are Communicating
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: in Cyberspace, published in the New York Times in 1997,
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: and Neurodiversity on the Neurological Underpinnings of Geekdom, published by
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: The Atlantic in 1998. The sociologist Judy Singer was also
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: a member of InLev in 1998, 1998. She wrote both
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: her undergraduate thesis and later a chapter in the book
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: Disability Discourse on the topic of neurological diversity, citing many
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: of the forum members and their contributions. So this is
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: a concept that originated with a bunch of autists on
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: the internet forums, and then a sociologist decided to write
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: an undergraduate thesis about it.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: The New York Times wrote an article.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: Autistic People Are Communicating on the Internet, was the title
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: of the article. They figured out how to communicate, is
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: what the New York Times reported back in the 90s.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: But anyway, the science is completely fraudulent in that it's nonexistent,
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: behind the concept of neurodivergence specifically.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: This is just a rebranding.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It's a new class of victims that broadly applies to
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: anyone willing to seize the title. From train enthusiasts to
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: the socially awkward to people suffering from entirely made-up mental
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: illnesses like ADHD to traditional old-fashioned 1990s-style retarded people. All
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: of them get included in this neurodivergent label. This would
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: be like if random people on 4chan got to invent
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: a new diagnosis. You can imagine what that would look like.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: Probably lose your job if you said it out loud.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: But just for fun, I went and found that New
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: York Times op-ed that they referenced. And here's part of it.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: This is how they're defining autism and neurodivergence. Quote, as
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: one man expressed it on an independent living forum, imagine
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you're surrounded by 10 people rapidly talking to you at
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the same time. You're a politician answering questions, for instance.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: This goes on for several hours. I'm sure you'd want
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to run into a small room and lock the door
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: behind you. Well, this is how I feel when I'm
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: talking to two people or one person sometimes. Email, he concluded,
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: is best for me. So, He doesn't like talking to
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: a lot of people.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: He'd rather do it over email. And now we would
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: say text.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: So that, well, by that definition, that's like everybody these days,
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: first of all. Nobody wants to talk. Everyone just wants
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: to text. If you want to narrow it down a
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: little bit, this is called being introverted. There's actually nothing
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: wrong with it.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: It's normal.
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: But if you combine introversion and narcissism, you get neurodivergence.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: And now we're at the point where these people are
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: getting discounts based on their fake condition.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: This is the.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Railcard website in the UK, which is apparently run by
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: the train industry. And the website offers a third off
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: of rail travel for so-called disabled passengers. And they clarify
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: in their frequently asked questions section that neurodivergence qualifies as
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: a disability that will give you a discount as long
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: as it's long-term, meaning it's lasted or likely to last
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: at least 12 months. And all you need is to
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: see a doctor and get them to sign a letter
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and you're good to go. Which, to be fair, Could
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: take about two years in the UK, but still, you know.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: And this includes people with ADHD, by the way. So
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: if you're one of the approximately 100% of humans who
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: have ever lived on Earth who can become distracted when
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: confronted with distractions, then you are neurodivergent and disabled and
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: eligible for a discount. So that's good news for literally
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: any human who for some reason would want to board
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: a train in the UK. And there are similar deals
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: for neurodivergent folks who want to save money on their
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: groceries and utilities as well. We'll put one of those
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: on the website, one of those websites on the screen.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: This is actually a great idea if you think about it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: Imagine being a citizen in the UK. You can't get
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: a job.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: You don't have air conditioning, even though you're burning alive
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: in your apartment. You can't afford to pay your electric bill,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: so you're not even using your dishwasher or washing machine,
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: which were extravagant expenses, appliances you really had to spring for.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: There are dirty dishes and clothes all over your apartment,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: or rather your flat.
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: But what are you supposed to do in this scenario? Well,
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: neurodivergence offers a way out.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Or at the very least, it'll offer you a discount
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: so you can pretend to be a little less bankrupt,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I guess. And what's amazing about this whole trend is
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: that even in the establishment, quote unquote, scientific community, which
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: ordinarily aligns with left-wing activists on every single issue, there's
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: really not anyone who takes the idea of neurodivergence seriously.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: This is from the University of Southampton, covering a new
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: research paper on the topic. Quote, a new paper published
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: in JAMA Psychiatry reviewed 134 studies and found that the
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: term neurodivergence is being used inconsistently in relation to over
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: a dozen different clinical diagnoses across the different studies. These
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: included neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, but
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: also many other psychiatric diagnoses like depression and anxiety, and
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: neurological disorders. One in five studies used the term without
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: referring to any specific clinical diagnosis at all, without defining it.
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: Fifty studies asked participants to self-identify as neurodivergent or neurodiverse
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: rather than using a formal clinical diagnosis, potentially adding further ambiguity.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Fifty-six studies didn't provide a definition of the term, while
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: in some cases studies used definitions which were inaccurate, especially
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: for neurodivergence. So in other words, whenever there's any research
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: being done on neurodivergence, they're making it up as they
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: go along. They're not even attempting to be consistent about
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: what the word means. And this is supposed to be
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: the whole point of peer review and the scientific method
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: and so on. But they just throw all that out
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: the window because there's a clear incentive to make up
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: fake mental illnesses and lend legitimacy to these illnesses whenever possible.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: So this is a broader issue than just neurodivergence, of course,
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: but it's especially noticeable with so-called disorders that fall under
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the umbrella of neurodivergence. Look at the rise of ADHD,
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: for example. which even many experts, quote unquote, now admit
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: is a fake disease. More than 20% of 14-year-old boys
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: in this country are supposedly afflicted with ADHD, which naturally
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: has led to a massive rise in prescriptions for drugs
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: like Ritalin and Adderall, which are basically speed. The number
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: was around 2% in the 90s. So it's an absurd increase.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: Pay no attention to the fact that all this was happening,
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: you know, while this was happening, male teachers are basically.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Being forced out of elementary schools.
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: Women took over and many of them had no idea
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: how to enforce discipline, especially for boys.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: So we're left with medication.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Also, if we're trying to explain the rise of distracted children,
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: we certainly should not consider that as we see the
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: proliferation of distracted children, we're also seeing the proliferation of distractions.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Every child is surrounded constantly with glowing screens. So they
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: carry little distraction boxes around in their pockets 24 hours
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: a day. Could that be why they're all so distracted?
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: Could the distraction machine you've given your child be the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: reason why he's distracted? You're wondering why your son is distracted.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: All the time?
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: You gave him a contraption that exists to distract him.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: Could that be the reason? No, don't be silly. He
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: must be mentally diseased. Better put him on drugs.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: Another explanation for what we're seeing is that in many
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: corners of the left, it's a badge of honor to
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: come down with some kind of fake diagnosis or identity
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: that supposedly distinguishes you from everybody else. Much like the
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: trans phenomenon five years ago, this grievance is in fact
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: a status symbol among leftists who now celebrate neurodivergence reveal parties.
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: This is a thing now. This is a real thing.
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: This is footage from one of these reveal parties.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: I guess the idea is it's a gender reveal party,
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: but it's like that. It's revealing what kind of mental
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: illness you have.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: This is what they do now.
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: And the color of the cake indicates what the woman's
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: diagnosis is, whether it's autism or ADHD.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Watch. Holy okay Yeah.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: Yes, they're singing happy autism to you This is why
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: they make these diseases so hard to define so vague
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: that they could apply to anyone The whole point is
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: to enable unremarkable, despondent, desperate people to feel some semblance
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: of uniqueness, to give them some illusion of having an
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: interesting personality and maybe some kind of future. And as mentioned,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: TikTok is full of neurodivergent influencers. Every brand of mental
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: illness has its own set of influencers promoting it. The
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: easier a neurodivergence is to fake and the more performative
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: it is, the more popular. Coincidentally, that's why Tourette's syndrome
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: is very popular on TikTok.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: So is dissociative.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Identity disorder or split personality disorder. And the thing with
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: DID is that it is, of course, 100% totally fake.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: No one has ever had a split personality. That is
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: completely fake.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Psychiatrists made it up decades ago, and it has been
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: debunked decisively and repeatedly since then. Pretty much every famous
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: case of split personality has been revealed to be a
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: total hoax and fraud. That hasn't stopped TikTokers from you know,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: establishing DID as their brand and promoting it. So, and
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: there's plenty of videos like this, but here's just one,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: for example.
• 29:48
  Speaker 7: You have dissociative identity disorder, right? Yeah, I do.
• 29:53
  Speaker 8: Why?
• 29:54
  Speaker 7: So who am I talking to right now? You're talking
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: to Luca. I'm the host of our system. What is
• 30:00
  Speaker 7: it like? But I can tell you what it's like
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: for other systems. I can't even really tell you what
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: it's like for other alters in my system. I can
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: only really tell you what it's like for me. That
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: makes sense. But then, you know, what is it like
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: for you? I think the best analogy for me is
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: a house. So think of a big house with lots
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: and lots of rooms. And that represents our brain or
• 30:20
  Speaker 7: our body. And in this house is a living room.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: And on the one end of this living room is
• 30:24
  Speaker 7: a door. On the opposite end is a TV with
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: some controllers. And the TV basically represents... The outside world,
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: we can look outside through the eyes, through this TV.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: And if you have the controller, you can control the body.
• 30:39
  Speaker 7: And in the middle of the room is a couch.
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: And I'm stuck in this room. I'm stuck in the
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: living room. I can't leave. And I usually spend my
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: time either being the one in control or sometimes I
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: sit on the couch and I can watch someone else
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: be in control. And then sometimes I fall asleep and
• 30:53
  Speaker 7: I have no idea what happens around.
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: I've seen a number of these videos of these split
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: personality TikTok people, and it's a shame. It's a tough
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: break for them because they have multiple personalities, and what
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: you find is that they have multiple personalities, and all
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: of their personalities are boring and dumb. That's bad luck.
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's one thing to have one boring, dumb personality.
• 31:21
  Speaker 1: To have 20 of them in the same person? You
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: got 20 personalities, none of them are interesting?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: What are the odds of that?
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: So in influencer vocabulary, a person with DID has a host,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: which is the main character out of all their split personalities,
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: the protagonist, essentially. And then there are a bunch of
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: side characters, like bit parts, supporting roles, played by various
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: character actors. And you got one split personality played by
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: Danny DeVito or something.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: And those are the alters.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And all of these identities live inside this one person's head.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: And the whole thing, all of the characters together, is
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: called the system. This, again, is— I can't stress enough— totally fake.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: I don't mean to imply that these people have no
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: mental issues at all.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: They clearly do.
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: Just looking at that person, you can see the mental
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: problems leaping out of the screen. She is— I think it's
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: a she— like a walking, talking DSM manual. But the real
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: overarching mental issue she's suffering from is not so much
• 32:29
  Speaker 1: a mental issue as a spiritual and moral one. She
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: is intensely, obsessively, single-mindedly narcissistic. This is someone so absorbed
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: in herself, so obsessed with the inner workings of her
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: own shallow, uninteresting mind, that she's invented this entire psychological
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: stage play. And this is what explains most of the
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: fake neurodivergent stuff. It's just narcissism. It's narcissism in slightly
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: different forms wearing different shades of neon hair.
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Dye, basically.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this footage, which is once
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: again out of Canada. Left-wing activists are now openly demanding
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: government jobs because they can't find work with their fake degrees.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: You know, it used to be this kind of thing
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: would happen under the table. I mean, it wouldn't be
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: discussed in polite company. The government would hire these people
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: and give them make-work jobs, and they'd feel productive. But
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: in Canada right now, the government is out of money.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: They're badly in debt, They're even more vulnerable than the U.S.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: because their currency is worthless. So they've been having to
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: conduct layoffs in the public sector. And as a result,
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: this is what the leftists, the true believers, are reduced to,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: which is groveling.
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: Watch.
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: My name is Malaika Collette, and I'm a recent environmental
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: studies grad. I have spent much of the last two
• 33:43
  Speaker 10: years working on and leading the Youth Climate Corps campaign,
• 33:47
  Speaker 10: pouring hundreds of hours into it. The YCC, as we
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: envision it, would be a two-year, federally-funded training and employment
• 33:57
  Speaker 10: program for those 35 and under, empowering them to work
• 34:02
  Speaker 10: on low-carbon and climate mitigation and adaptation work.
• 34:07
  Speaker 11: My friend, a considering job that goes against our values,
• 34:10
  Speaker 11: taking crumbs just to get by. All of this against
• 34:14
  Speaker 11: the backdrop of a growing climate crisis. Living downtown Ottawa,
• 34:19
  Speaker 11: I've witnessed a massive storm on Canada Day and it's
• 34:22
  Speaker 11: a devastation on my neighborhood. This summer, forest fires, smoke
• 34:27
  Speaker 11: was so bad I couldn't even open my windows on
• 34:29
  Speaker 11: really hot day. I've known the threat of climate change
• 34:33
  Speaker 11: all my life and I'm ready to get to work
• 34:37
  Speaker 11: addressing this crisis. But instead, the government continue to sideline
• 34:41
  Speaker 11: young people like me. So far, Kearney has not demonstrated
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: to young people that he cares about us. Thank you.
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: Hi, my name is Mila Pai. I'm a caretaker of
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: Earth and a climate organizer. I have felt called to
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: protect the Earth since I saw a tornado rip through
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: a place I love, showing me the devastating power of
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a natural disaster. I could not understand how we would
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: knowingly cause disasters.
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Like this to worsen. Yeah, okay, shut up.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So this is the culture, if you can call it that,
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: which produces historic sky-high rates of documented mental illness, including neurodivergence.
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: Desperate people will seek out any available opportunity to feel
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: better about themselves or to find some explanation for their
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: circumstances in life. They don't care if it's incoherent. They
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: don't care if they have no principles. When people feel
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: cornered and when they've been indoctrinated their entire lives, they'll
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: believe anything, especially if it gives them an excuse for
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: their behavior. This is a belief system that's been internalized
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: at every level of left-wing activism, from the foot soldiers
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: in Canada to the leaders of the Democrat Party in
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the United States. They have transcended reality. Take a look
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: at this post from the governor of Virginia, the former
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: CIA operative Abigail Spanberger. It says, quote, I'm proud to
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: have the most talented, hardest-working cabinet in Virginia's history. They're
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: also the most diverse cabinet Virginia's ever seen. Every single
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: one of our cabinet secretaries were selected because they're the
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: best of the best in their respective fields. They also
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: bring in individual perspectives from across the Commonwealth, from Danville, Hampton, Rhodes, Richmond, Nova,
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: and more. I'm grateful to get to work with these
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: incredibly dedicated, hardworking, and talented cabinet officials who Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: Okay.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: And then there's, so more importantly, look at the picture.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: You've got the white female governor of Virginia, Abigail Spanberger,
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: surrounded by seven people. It's supposed to be the most
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: diverse cabinet ever. Not a single white man there. There's
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: one other white woman plus three black men and three
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: black women. And now we've always known that diverse just
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: means no white men But it's nice to have Spanberger
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: come out and illustrate that point so explicitly.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: By this definition, six.
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Black people and two middle-aged white women is the most
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: diverse cabinet ever seen in the state of Virginia. It's crazy,
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: but when your party is completely insane, it kind of works.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: I saw a post on X yesterday that explained the
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: issue very well. It's from an account called Coddled Affluent Professional.
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: And it says, quote, mental illness and certain forms of
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: politics are now indistinguishable. One of the many purposes of
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: progressive ideology is to identify an external locus for confusion, disappointment,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and psychological discomfort. The leftists are post-Marxists, as Paul Gottfried said,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: and so it's reasonable for all involved to understand this behavior,
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: as disordered as it may be, as an ideological, coherent
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: form of praxis. In other words, mental illness and left-wing
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: politics have become one and the same. Instead of focusing
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: solely on economic grievances, although... those grievances are still an
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: important part of their politics at some level, leftists have
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: learned to externalize their mental problems, real and imagined. This
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: is why it's natural for a politician like Spanberger to
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: claim that diversity means no white men.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's delusional, but so is our entire party
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: at this point.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And today we'll get a much better sense of how
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: widespread this has become and how much it's corrupted our
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: political system. But if we're going to defeat these people,
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: which ultimately we must do, We have to understand what
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: we're up against. We're not competing against an ideology that's
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: based on coherence or principles or anything like that. We
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: are instead in a battle with the party of the neurodivergent,
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: which means whatever they want it to mean. We're fighting
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: a movement that's daring every American to call them out
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: on their insanity. The moment we lose our ability to
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: do that, we become Canada. The worst possible fate. And
• 38:35
  Speaker 1: that is their goal. They might get closer to achieving
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: it today. But if we're going to truly help the
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: so-called neurodivergent community, by which I mean everyone in the country,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: we can never let them win. Don't forget to vote today.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: We'll see you later tonight for election coverage on Daily Wire,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: where I'll be joined by all the other hosts breaking
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: down the results as they come in.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: See you then. Godspeed. Father, I used to feel Christ.
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: I cannot feel anything here.
• 39:17
  Speaker 11: So, Bravo.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: They take me out of my bed, and they brought
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: me here, and they tell me nothing. What have I done?
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: Article 58, counter-revolutionary activity. That is all I know.
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: They have to deal with so many enemies of the state,
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: all of whom claim their innocence.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Who protest, who cry... There are no answers here.
• 39:55
  Speaker 5: Other than the ones they put in your mouth.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: You'll break.
• 40:00
  Speaker 9: Today is your opportunity to demonstrate your loyalty to the people.
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: You'd like to know why I'm here?
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: Of course.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: But you already know, don't you? You must believe in
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: something greater than the party. You'll remember your duty. I've
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: told you I know nothing.
• 40:22
  Speaker 6: You growl like a feral animal.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: You stink of failure. You want me to lie. Still
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: a drunk.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Damn you!
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: They all break. Maybe.
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: Now, we've all heard the radio ads about owing the
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: IRS money. They try to scare you and frighten you
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: into calling. Well, tax relief advocates is different. If you
