| 0:00.0 | After last week's Twitter controversy surrounding what is a woman, Matt Walsh's hit film is now one of the most viewed documentaries in all of history. |

| 0:38.7 | things that matter and things that make certain groups feel good. That is the battle that has |
| 0:43.5 | taken place across American society, across European society, across the West right now. And |
| 0:48.2 | last week, that battle manifested in whether you would be allowed to see the documentary, |
| 0:52.5 | What is a Woman? You'll recall that last week, we were going to release on the one year anniversary of Matt Walsh's hit documentary, What Is a Woman, the entire documentary for anyone to see on Twitter for 24 hours. And Twitter's immediate response was that they were going to shadow ban any content from the film on grounds of quote unquote misgendering. Now misgendering is an Orwellian term. The idea that if I say that a man is a man, this is somehow a form of misgendering as opposed to properly gendering, and that if a man says that he is a woman, that is his true self, that of course is Orwellian nonsense.

| 1:43.5 | people have seen what is a woman are |
| 1:44.6 | absolutely astounding. So I wanted to bring you the updated statistics on how many people have seen |
| 1:49.7 | what is a woman at this point. The number of video impressions on what is women, that tweet, |
| 1:54.8 | the tweet that we put out there, that Elon Musk then tweeted himself and then pinned at the top of his |
| 1:58.6 | account, 171 million impressions on that |
| 2:03.4 | tweet, 171 million impressions, which means at the very least tens and tens of millions of people |
| 2:08.0 | have seen the actual documentary making it by any metric, perhaps the most watched documentary |
| 2:13.5 | in the history of humanity. It is also the number one documentary on planet Earth for the second Pride month in a row over on Rotten Tomatoes, |
| 2:21.4 | which again, pretty impressive stuff. |
