67.177 - 89.59 Matt Walsh

Now, a couple of weeks ago, I went on X and on this show and I was offering some criticisms of Miss Rachel, the YouTuber who makes content for children. And I called her a slot peddler for toddlers, which she is. Talks down to her audience, speaks to kids in a way that nobody in real life does. And on top of that, she's a political propagandist.

91.252 - 118.908 Matt Walsh

Which means that you should keep her as far away from your kids as you possibly can. But it turns out that not everybody agrees, shockingly. There are some misracial apologists out there. So we'll go through some of the comments. Some that disagree, some that agree. KD Moe says... Tweets, she has two master's degrees in education, but cry harder about it, Matt. Oh, a master's degree. Wow, KD.

121.511 - 144.217 Matt Walsh

Two of them? Two master's degrees? Wow. The only thing more impressive than two master's degrees is three. Why not four? Why not 12? Yeah, I don't care. What does that have to do with anything? It's hilarious to me when people still try to use this. Are you going to try that on me? You think that's going to impress me? Oh, she has these pieces of paper.

145.599 - 172.732 Matt Walsh

I'll have you know she has a piece of paper in a frame hanging on her wall. What do you say about... So? A master's degree in education? And guess what? I know more about raising kids and teaching them and communicating with them than she does. I know more than the vast majority of people with degrees in education.

175.036 - 206.436 Matt Walsh

Because she read books and took courses taught mostly by childless left-wing feminists. And I've actually raised six kids. So guess who's more educated on the topic? I have daily experience with teaching, educating, raising kids, and she has a master's degree. Who cares? Guess who has the credentials that actually matter?

Chapter 2: What criticisms does the host have about Ms. Rachel's content?

252.194 - 276.312 Matt Walsh

All that is, that's cringe millennial female jargon. That's all that is. Every woman between the ages of 31 and 49 uses those terms. I know there are going to be women in the comments that are like, I'm 35 and I don't use those terms. Yes, you do. Yes, you do. You might not even know that you say it, but you all do. Littles, kiddos, doggos.

0

277.861 - 306.102 Matt Walsh

I find it highly annoying, but I can't blame her much for that. She's 42 or something. It's just, I don't know what it is. I don't know where you ladies picked this up. Okay, because our parents' generation, they didn't talk that way. My mom didn't go around saying, come on, look at all the doggos. Let's go get a doggo, kiddo. Our parents didn't talk that way. Where did you get this?

0

306.402 - 328.232 Matt Walsh

Where did you pick this up? I really don't know. But every single woman between 31 and 49 talks this way. I don't get it. Brianna says, all this hate against Miss Rachel is like saying Barney would make your kid into a furry. Also, most tired moms turn to a video of singing School on the Bus while they prepare dinner. Just say you hate women and men are perfect.

0

329.694 - 343.395 Matt Walsh

Also, Mr. Rogers was incredibly boring. Well, Now, I'm not saying that Miss Rachel will turn your kid into Miss Rachel, so your Barney analogy doesn't really work. I'm saying that, putting the politics aside, Miss Rachel is slop.

0

Chapter 3: What responses did the host receive regarding Ms. Rachel?

343.415 - 366.841 Matt Walsh

It's overstimulating, patronizing slop. Childish. And I know someone like you, you're like, well, of course it's childish. It's for children. The fact that you think that way, the fact that you don't understand the difference between childish and for children, that's exactly the problem.

0

368.543 - 394.359 Matt Walsh

And if you give your kids a steady diet of this slop, it will turn them into dumb, distractible adults who struggle with basic comprehension. It'll turn them into basically you, Brianna. I'm willing to bet that you as a kid watched earlier versions of Miss Rachel's slop. You probably watched Barney. And I don't know, maybe it didn't turn you into a furry.

0

394.379 - 415.547 Matt Walsh

I don't know if you're that or not, but it wouldn't surprise me. But it did turn you into kind of a dumb person. So that's the problem. And as for Mr. Rogers, yeah, you thought Mr. Rogers was boring because you were overstimulated and you needed constant bright colors and loud noises and quick movement on screen to keep your attention. And that's exactly the issue again.

0

416.759 - 450.364 Matt Walsh

And look how you turned out. You can barely write coherently. You can't understand the arguments I'm making. You can't structure your own argument. You can't form an analogy. To me, one of the quintessential signs that someone is low IQ is when they can't understand an analogy or use one to illustrate a point. And you're overly emotional and ridiculous. You think all men are perfect. What?

0

450.384 - 476.87 Matt Walsh

Do you think that that's a view that anyone has? Yeah, I think all men are perfect. What are you talking about, Brianna? You actually think that even in your cartoon world where all men who are right-wing are sexist and misogynist, even in that world, we would at least think that every man who's a leftist is certainly not perfect. Who do you think walks around with that view?

476.99 - 507.227 Matt Walsh

Just like, every man is better than every woman. That is a view that literally does not exist on the planet. There's not a human on earth who has that view. You have the mentality of a child. And I don't think it's entirely because of the slop you watched and consumed as a child, but that certainly didn't help matters, as we can see. Let's see.

507.247 - 521.021 Matt Walsh

Man, if you only knew the answer to who's putting YouTube on for babies, you'd need a stiff drink. It's everyone. You know how when you drive on the highway and literally every single human behind a steering wheel is watching their phone in their lap? It's like that. Everybody with babies is doing this.

521.041 - 538 Matt Walsh

I envy the optimism born from being surrounded by conservatives who maybe don't do it, but I promise you that is extraordinarily rare these days. Absolutely everybody with babies is putting screens in front of them and pumping this horrendous crap into their eyes and ears around the clock. Yeah, I don't doubt it. I mean, it's not literally everyone.

538.04 - 565 Matt Walsh

I know you're slightly exaggerating, but I don't doubt that it is shockingly, horrifically, disturbingly common. I mean, obviously we all know that parents rely on screens way too much, but I would like to think, if I were naive, that, okay, we're not starting that until at least like I don't know.

Chapter 4: How does the host challenge the educational credentials of Ms. Rachel's supporters?

761.365 - 789.593 Matt Walsh

And there's also kind of an adult way of speaking on the level of a child. Like my... So one example is my wife, if she wants to sit down and watch a movie with our kids, she's going to usually want to pick a kid's movie, like a children's movie. for the kids.

0

790.254 - 813.358 Matt Walsh

And if I'm sitting down to watch a movie, then I want to pick a movie that's appropriate for kids, but is a movie for adults, a movie that's like a real movie that kids can also enjoy. Now, the problem is that those are few and far between these days. Hollywood doesn't really make those kinds of movies anymore. Unfortunately, they should.

0

813.862 - 836.95 Matt Walsh

But, you know, that's what I'm looking for, a movie that is a little bit more for like an older audience, but is appropriate for kids. Whereas my wife, well, she's going to go for the kids. If we're playing a game, like my wife will sit down and play whatever, like Candyland or something or some kids board game with the kids. If I'm going to play with the kids, I want to play Monopoly.

0

837.111 - 865.641 Matt Walsh

Yeah, let's play a game, but let's play hearts. I'm going to teach you how to play a game for adults, and I'm going to play it with you. And even the way that I speak to the kids, basically from infancy, is I speak to them in... much the way that I'm talking right now. I just speak the way that I speak. And my wife, because she's a woman, she does more of the... So it's more natural.

0

865.681 - 897.042 Matt Walsh

My only point is that, especially when you've got these men... YouTube, YouTubers for kids, and they're doing this whole routine, it's even weirder. And I think it should even send up, it even sets off more alarm bells because it's not natural. It's not masculine. This is a strange way for a man to act. It's very weird for a man to relate to kids this way. And there's certainly no benefit

898.321 - 921.527 Matt Walsh

It's not educational. It's not edifying. It's not helping them to grow or anything like that. If it's doing anything, really, it's making the kid comfortable with the kinds of adults that they should be wary of. If you go to the playground and you see an adult man by himself playing on the playground...

922.688 - 931.801 Matt Walsh

It's not like he has a two-year-old with him and he's helping his two-year-old climb the jungle gym. I'm saying, you see an adult man by himself playing on a playground.

Chapter 5: What concerns does the host raise about the language used by Ms. Rachel?

932.642 - 956.479 Matt Walsh

Are you going to want your kid to go anywhere near that person? You're probably going to call the cops. You're going to say, get this person out of here. This is bizarre. And yet you would have your kid watching somebody like that on YouTube and becoming comfortable around that kind of person. I think that is... Along with all the other problems, it's unsafe, honestly, for the kids.

0

957.942 - 968.541 Matt Walsh

So there you go. What I take from these comments is that I'm still right. In fact, I'm even more right than I ever thought I was. That's the lesson.
