The radical left loves to celebrate when other people's phones are hacked. And when it happens to be someone you disagree with, they celebrate it in order to make sure they don't have to deal with the consequences. This is the way the left works, and it's no wonder why America is getting more polarized and more polarized. Because there are more and more people who disagree with them, and if you disagree, you want to see criminal things happen to them. And if you don't like what happens to them, you're not going to like the people on the left who celebrate it, because they're so tolerant and nice, that they're willing to do whatever it takes to protect and defend people they consider their enemies, even if it means hacking someone else's phone. And that's exactly what happened to my friend Matt Walsh's phone last night, and why it's a good thing that his phone was hacked, because if it wasn't, they'd have been able to send him a bunch of vile tweets about it, and they would have been ready to do something about it. And you know what else? They don't care if your phone is hacked, they care if it's your laptop, your computer, or your phone, or even your social media account is hacked. And they care that you think you're a bad guy, because that's what makes you a bad dude, right? because you can't be a bad person and they don t give a shit about it? and you don t care about it because it s that s not . they care about you you care about what s . And they want you to be a nice guy . and they want to know that you are not , right ? right or so they care enough that you care enough about you to care enough to care about about you to care about that s to do about s and s , and they are more than enough so that they are going to well, they ll care about your in order about you, right or not so you can have your phone hacked? or they ll be offended by it and then they ll be offended when you do when you tweet about it ? and tweet about that s s to tweet
00:00:03.000Apparently, somebody actually duplicated his SIM card.
00:00:06.000There are only a couple of ways in which that can happen, as far as I understand.
00:00:09.000One is that somebody actually physically got access to Matt's phone.
00:00:12.000The other is that somebody actually mimicked Matt to the phone company and had them send a duplicate SIM card.
00:00:17.000In any case, last night, late last night, people started tweeting out from Matt Walsh's Twitter account a bunch of just vile kind of garbage.
00:00:26.000It was all shut down pretty quickly, but The important thing to recognize about the radical left trans movement particularly is just how aggressive they are.
00:00:35.000When I say aggressive, I don't mean like aggressive in their point of view.
00:00:39.000But I mean aggressive as in they will cross any line in order to go after people they consider to be their enemies.
00:00:45.000So if you just say a man cannot be a woman and a woman cannot be a man and a man who believes he is a woman is wrong.
00:00:52.000If you just say that, which is what Matt Walsh does, if you ask people to define the word woman, and they can't, people get so angry at you that they will hack your phone, that they will provide security threats sufficient that Matt has to have pretty much 24-7 security on his house, that he's had to cancel speeches due to the level of security threats that have been levied against him.
00:01:10.000And the tolerant left, they are so tolerant.
00:01:12.000Because the point here is when the left shows you who they are, when the radical left, not everybody on the left, when the radical left shows you who they are, believe them.
00:01:20.000So last night, after Matt's phone was hacked, a bunch of the sort of left-wing blue checks on Twitter, the influencers, we might say, they came out of the woodwork in order to celebrate somebody being hacked.
00:01:30.000Now, There are a lot of people on the left whose perspectives I do not particularly like.
00:01:34.000There are a lot of people on the left who I strenuously disagree with.
00:01:37.000Many on the left who I believe their viewpoints actually reflect ideological wrong and evil.
00:01:41.000But am I in favor of their phones being hacked or their computers being hacked?
00:01:47.000We still live in a civil society in which crime should be treated as crime.
00:01:50.000But this does not hold true if you violate the scruples of the left.
00:01:53.000So, for example, Alejandro Caraballo, who is a man who believes that he is a woman and has had some surgeries to prove it.
00:02:02.000A wise Latina clinical instructor at Harvard Law at the Cyber Law Clinic, which by the way, Harvard Law should take a very serious look at why somebody should be teaching at the Harvard Law Cyber Clinic, Cyber Law Clinic, who believes that it is a good and useful thing to hack other people's phones.
00:02:20.000This person also writes for Wired and Slate and tweeted out, Matt Walsh's account has been hacked.
00:02:26.000Couldn't have happened to a more miserable piece of bleep.
00:02:29.000Now that seems like somebody who should probably be educating your kids, young adults, over at the Harvard Law Cyber Law Clinic.
00:02:36.000That seems like a perfectly appropriate response from an academic, an academic who writes for Wired and Slate, Alejandro Caraballo.
00:02:42.000And of course, Alejandro Caraballo is able to get away with this sort of stuff because Alejandro Caraballo is at the top of the intersectional list.
00:02:48.000This happens to be a wise Latina, Latino, who believes that he is a Latina, which is like So many checks on the intersectional checkmark list that you can say anything, including celebrating when somebody's phone gets hacked.
00:03:01.000Or take, for example, Ron Filipkowski.
00:03:03.000So Ron Filipkowski is a person who is, of course, another radical leftist.
00:03:09.000He has been seen on the BBC, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and he tweeted out, Matt Walsh got hacked and the last hour of his account has been fun.
00:03:18.000Again, it's all fun and games when it happens to somebody that you disagree with, obviously.
00:03:21.000Occupy Democrats, which is another left-wing, blue-checked account.
00:04:29.000It's delightful when your enemies get hacked.
00:04:32.000Or for example, reporters like Steven Monticelli, who is a writer for the Daily Beast, Steven Monticelli tweeted out, just putting this out there, but it would really be something if whoever hacked Matt Walsh's blog leaks the DMs.
00:04:46.000If they leak Donald Trump's tax returns, that's good.
00:04:49.000If there is a leak of national security secrets under Joe Biden, that's bad.
00:04:54.000If they leak a bunch of stuff about Donald Trump and his administration from the inside, if it's Alexander Vindman leaking Ukraine docs, that's good.
00:05:02.000If there's a leak that targets Democrats, that's bad.
00:05:06.000So I have a perspective on all of this, which is, generally speaking, leaks are bad.
00:05:10.000And also, generally speaking, phone hackings are bad.
00:05:14.000And if we live in a society where we respect each other as, you know, members of the same civilization, you shouldn't celebrate when criminal things happen to your political opponents.
00:05:21.000But the left seems to have, like the fact that they say this stuff out loud without any fear of blowback is kind of incredible.
00:05:26.000Imagine if, for example, a Democratic operative, a person on the left, say John Lovett from Pod Save America got hacked.
00:06:11.000But unfortunately, this is the way the left works.
00:06:14.000Okay, in just one second, we'll get to the biggest news of the day, which is, of course, Fox News paying out nearly $800 million to Dominion Voting Systems.
00:06:20.000It's the largest media settlement of all time.
00:06:26.000You remember when Silicon Valley Bank failed?
00:06:29.000Well, the reason that it failed is because Silicon Valley Bank had relied apparently on the full faith and credit of the United States government.
00:06:36.000They bought a lot of government bonds.
00:06:37.000When they bought all of those government bonds, they assumed that the federal government would not be raising the interest rates radically because inflation wouldn't run out of control.
00:06:44.000The interest rates did radically increase, the price of their bonds went down, they had all their assets in now devalued bonds, and so they went under.
00:06:51.000Well, what it should teach you is that you might want to take some of your money and put it in a precious metal that the government cannot actually manipulate.
00:06:58.000A true economic crisis is in fact going to happen.
00:07:00.000That's why you should consider diversifying at least some of your assets into precious metals, which is why I own gold from Birch Gold in preparation for uncertain economic times.
00:07:28.000Start investing in your financial future today.
00:07:31.000With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, countless five-star reviews, Birch Gold is the company I trust to protect my future and yours.
00:07:37.000Again, text Ben to 989898 today to get started.
00:07:42.000The big news yesterday is that Fox News has now paid out $787 million to avoid a trial.
00:07:48.000They're being sued by Dominion Voting Systems for $1.6 billion.
00:07:52.000So they ended up settling for approximately half of what they're actually being sued for, which is actually a really big settlement amount.
00:08:00.000Fox News generally supposedly has, in terms of like cash and cash equivalent assets, about $4.2 billion.
00:08:05.000So that's actually a hefty chunk of change out of their asset base.
00:08:10.000The reason that they settled is because they were hoping this would be dismissed on summary judgment.
00:08:14.000They were hoping that the defamation trial against Dominion, Dominion is in fact a public company.
00:08:21.000What I mean by that is that they are not actually like a private actor.
00:08:25.000The way that it works in defamation law is that if I attack somebody and that person is considered a private person, the standard is lower for defamation.
00:08:32.000They can sue me for defamation without having to show malice and intent.
00:08:37.000So the way that it works, if you attack a public figure, if I were to attack somebody publicly, if I attack Joe Biden, for example, Joe Biden can't sue me for defamation unless he can prove actual malice, right?
00:08:49.000I said it anyway, and I did it because I hate him.
00:08:51.000And I knew beforehand that it was actually false.
00:08:55.000So Dominion had to prove that standard.
00:08:58.000The case that they were making is that Fox News knew full well when it started voting crazy theories from people like Sidney Powell, that Dominion voting systems had been hacked, that all of the vote totals had been changed in the aftermath of Election 2020, that Fox News and its personalities knew full well that all of that was nonsense and they aired it anyway.
00:09:14.000Now, Fox News had some wiggle room in terms of its defense.
00:09:18.000Because the typical answer to that is that you can do the just asking questions kind of thing.
00:09:23.000Now the question is, how far does that go?
00:09:25.000If you're a news channel and you say, listen, I'm just asking questions as to whether your mother is a prostitute.
00:09:54.000was making the case that they actually exist inside this window of the just asking questions, investigating all possible theories.
00:10:03.000So before the actual trial was slated to take place, there's a First Amendment expert at the University of Utah named Ron Nell Anderson-Jones who says it isn't enough to show that Fox made a conscious decision to amplify election denialism generally in its coverage.
00:10:13.000Dominion has to show that the people who are responsible for creating or platforming the false statements about Dominion had knowledge the statements were false.
00:10:21.000And this is why the Leaks that came out the or the data that came out in the discovery from the text messages of people like Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity or Laura Ingram suggesting that they knew that a lot of this stuff was crap.
00:10:36.000That's why Dominion was relying on that and what Fox was really doing here was preventing its host from having to get on the stand because they would have had to be put on the stand by Dominion and they would have had to testify whether or not they knew that Dominion's Claims were right, and that Sidney Powell and Trump's claims were wrong.
00:10:50.000And that would have been damaging to Fox in two ways.
00:10:53.000One, it would have damaged Fox because it would have shown, presumably, that these hosts were quote-unquote lying to their audiences.
00:10:58.000This is what Dominion was hoping to prove.
00:11:00.000And two, it would have suggested to the audience of Fox that actually Donald Trump has been lying all along since November about what actually happened with Dominion Voting Systems and all the like, right?
00:11:10.000Donald Trump has been out there, I kid you not, actually saying that Fox should have gone to trial and then at trial should have argued that he was right in the first place and Dominion Voting Systems actually did have its systems hacked, which would have been insane.
00:11:22.000Trump had made that case because, of course, Trump's not the one who has to pay the price for any of that.
00:11:26.000Fox News would have had to pay the price for that.
00:11:29.000The judge in this particular case had already suggested it was perfectly clear.
00:11:33.000Eric Davis, who is the judge in the Delaware Superior Court, he had already said that it was perfectly clear that the claims against against Dominion were totally false.
00:11:41.000The ones that were being made by Trump's team and by some people on Fox News platforming them.
00:11:47.000Davis declared an approved trial ruling last month.
00:11:49.000It was crystal clear the allegations were false.
00:11:50.000But that, of course, was not the end of the case.
00:11:53.000Politico said libel suits are notoriously difficult to win in the United States thanks to the New York Times vs. Sullivan decision of 1964 in which the Supreme Court ruled that it wasn't enough for a public figure to show a news organization published something false about them to win a defamation case.
00:12:05.000Instead, accusers have to show actual malice, which means that the outlet either knowingly published a falsehood or published one with reckless disregard for the truth.
00:12:13.000But of course, there's a lot of kind of juicy stuff in the documents.
00:12:18.000So there were Tucker Carlson's candid characterizations of stop-the-steal attorney-in-chief Sidney Powell.
00:12:22.000He labels her a liar and unguided missile who is dangerous as hell.
00:12:26.000And tantamount to poison, there's a Lou Dobbs producer who in January 2021 calls Rudy Giuliani so full of bleep Laura Ingraham had suggested that he was such an idiot and Sean Hannity had labeled him an insane person.
00:12:37.000All of this sort of stuff came up in the documents.
00:12:41.000Noah Feldman, who is a left winger over at Harvard, he says it's hard to get evidence to prove that someone in the media knew something was false.
00:12:46.000What's unusual in this case is there's a lot of evidence that these people knew that the claims were false.
00:12:50.000But again, Knowing it's false and thinking it's false are not quite the same thing.
00:12:55.000Because what you could do is you could say, you know, I think it's false.
00:12:58.000I'm almost certain it's false, but I still have an obligation to air the other side of the argument, which is the case, presumably, that Fox would have had to make at the trial.
00:13:05.000They didn't want it to go to trial because if they get in front of a jury, Very likely that the jury hits them with a full penalty.
00:13:11.000And not only that, it would have been very bad for their host.
00:13:14.000So instead, what they decided to do was pay out this giant settlement.
00:13:16.000And again, this is the largest media settlement in American history by a factor of about five.
00:13:21.000The last media settlement that was this large is, I believe, when there was an attempt to pay off the beef industry after Oprah stepped in it by attacking the beef industry way back when.
00:13:36.000We'll get to more on this in just one second, and also what it means for media coverage generally, and the celebration of left-wing media, which routinely lie but don't get sued for it.
00:13:43.000And when they do, it kind of goes away.
00:14:00.000Second, Good Ranchers offers a price lock guarantee, meaning when you subscribe, your price doesn't change for the length of your subscription.
00:14:06.000When the price of meat is expected to increase by another 4.5% in the coming year, it could be a huge savings for you and your family.
00:14:11.000Third, Good Ranchers meat is unlike any other.
00:14:13.000Their all natural burgers, USDA prime steaks, better than organic chicken will change your standard for great meat.
00:14:18.000My friends at Good Ranchers have pledged never to source meat from any farm that uses unapproved experimental treatments and medicines in their animals.
00:14:24.000So how do I know that Good Ranchers does like the best job with their meat?
00:14:27.000Well, because they actually went out of their way to get me the single kosher steak they have ever made.
00:14:31.000And let me tell you, it was just spectacular.
00:14:50.000Okay, so according to the Wall Street Journal, Fox Corporation has agreed to pay $787.5 million to settle its legal battle with Dominion Voting Systems just before the start of a trial on the voting machine company's allegations that it was defamed by network broadcasts after the 2020 presidential election.
00:15:08.000Legal observers said that the agreement was the largest known media defamation settlement ever in the United States.
00:15:13.000It ends a two-year legal battle that has threatened Fox News and cast an unflattering spotlight on its inner workings.
00:15:18.000The Superior Court judges I mentioned had already concluded that both Fox News and Fox Business broadcast false claims about Dominion, voiced by both network hosts and Trump associates.
00:15:25.000Fox in a statement acknowledged the judges' findings.
00:15:29.000So the Fox statement said that the settlement reflected, quote, its continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.
00:15:34.000We are hopeful that our decisions resolve this dispute with dominion amicably instead of the acrimony of a divisive trial allows the country to move forward from these issues.
00:15:41.000So Fox News does not have to make any apologies.
00:15:45.000Fox is like, we're not making an apology.
00:15:46.000We're not going to make our hosts get on the air and apologize for their coverage or anything like that.
00:15:50.000We're just going to sign you a giant ass check.
00:15:52.000And Dominion, because it's a business, is like, okay, all right, we'll take the giant check.
00:15:56.000Dominion's chief executive, John Powell, said in a statement, Now, again, listen, how other people choose to cover the issues is how other people choose to cover the issues.
00:16:10.000On this show, we made very clear from the very early days that there was not sufficient evidence of anything remotely approaching the kind of stuff that Sidney Powell was saying to verify anything that she was saying.
00:16:19.000And it appeared that she was saying crazy talk from pretty much the beginning.
00:16:22.000How Fox chose to cover that is up to Fox, and presumably they are now willing to pay a penalty to avoid people having to testify.
00:16:31.000With that said, this sets a kind of interesting defamation standard for the future, because the reality is that now you get into the subjective state of mind.
00:16:40.000The actual defamation standard now, if you're getting into subjective frame of mind, reckless disregard, for example, reckless disregard of the truth, Our networks recklessly disregard the truth, like, all the time.
00:16:54.000And just to take the latest example, all over your TV this week, CNN, MSNBC, is going to be spoken the untrue statement that America is a systemically racist country in which black people are routinely killed by white people.
00:17:13.000I mean, we've had Daily Wire hosts attacked on network TV in the most egregious and untrue ways.
00:17:21.000And people who are saying it know they're being reckless with the truth.
00:17:23.000But it doesn't matter because, again, defamation standards are unevenly applied.
00:17:27.000The precedent that this sets is sort of dangerous, legally speaking.
00:17:30.000And again, what it very often comes down to, and this is always true in a trial setting, is if you believe that the jury is not going to side with you, If you believe the jury is biased against you, you're always better off signing a settlement check.
00:17:41.000This is just a basic, as a lawyer, a basic legal truism.
00:17:51.000It certainly means that Sidney Powell was lying.
00:17:53.000Does it mean that people were putting things on air they shouldn't have put on air?
00:17:55.000Listen, again, I covered the issues in a very different way.
00:17:57.000I would not have put people like Sidney Powell on air because I don't think that Sidney Powell was credible in any way, shape, or form.
00:18:02.000I don't think the claims that were being made by the Trump campaign that they were not even making in legal filings were credible from the beginning.
00:18:09.000With that said, again, other people are able to cover these things in other ways, and I'm a little bit uncomfortable, maybe a lot uncomfortable, with the new standard that is being set, which is that if we are going to air, we air on the side of the not asking questions.
00:18:24.000When personal belief sides against a particular story, this is now an excuse not to platform the other side.
00:18:32.000Dominion, for its part, they say that Fox has now admitted to telling lies.
00:18:37.000Here is one of the Dominion attorneys talking about it.
00:18:40.000Fox and Dominion have reached an unhistoric settlement.
00:18:44.000Fox has admitted to telling lies about Dominion that caused enormous damage to my company, our employees, and the customers that we serve.
00:18:58.000So, again, what Fox is doing mostly is preventing people from having to take the stand.
00:19:02.000That would have included both Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan Murdoch, Tucker Carlson, Sean Hannity, Maria Bartiromo.
00:19:07.000You can tell, by the way, the media is actually quite disappointed with this outcome, mainly because they're not going to get the spectacle of watching all of these people testify.
00:19:15.000Now, the problem for Fox is, of course, this is not the only trial that is actually on Fox's radar.
00:19:20.000Fox News is still facing a $2.7 billion defamation suit from Smartmatic.
00:19:25.000And given the precedent here, there's a very solid shot they end up settling with Smartmatic as well.
00:19:30.000According to the Washington Post, in a nearly 300-page complaint filed in New York State's Supreme Court in February of 2021, Smartmatic alleged that Fox News knowingly made over 100 false statements and implications about the company, amplifying false information from Donald Trump and his allies that Smartmatic played a role in his election loss.
00:19:46.000The lawyer for Smartmatic released a statement saying Dominion's litigation exposed some of the misconduct and damage caused by Fox's disinformation campaign.
00:19:55.000And just a second, we'll get some media reaction to all of this.
00:20:08.000Again, there's a lot of sort of holier-than-thou going on in the left-wing media, which has settled cases like this for much smaller amounts in the past.
00:20:16.000This year marks the 75th anniversary of Israel's independence, Yom Ha'atzmut, coincidentally.
00:20:20.000The International Fellowship of Christians and Jews is also celebrating 40 years of ministry.
00:20:24.000Today, thousands of Jews, both in Israel and in war-torn Ukraine, struggle to survive life-threatening crises, including extreme poverty, hunger, and violence in the form of conflict, anti-Semitism, and terrorism.
00:20:33.000Among those vulnerable people are tens of thousands of Holocaust survivors and elderly Jews who will not survive without basic needs.
00:20:40.000Simple fact of the matter is if you head on over to Israel and you check out Yad Vashem, yesterday was Yom HaShoah.
00:20:44.000You see what people who went through the Holocaust had to suffer.
00:20:47.000Many of those people are still alive and living in Ukraine right now.
00:21:17.000So, of course, members of the media are celebratory about all of this.
00:21:20.000Jake Tapper yesterday was reading the news on CNN, which is a network that has routinely told untruth and starts laughing about it.
00:21:29.000Fox, trying to put a positive face on what can only be interpreted as one of the ugliest and most embarrassing moments in the history of journalism, Fox issued a statement saying, quote, we are pleased to have reached a settlement of our dispute, dispute, with Dominion Voting Systems.
00:21:49.000We acknowledge the court's rulings finding certain claims about Dominion to be false.
00:21:54.000The settlement reflects I'm sorry, this is going to be difficult to say with a straight face.
00:21:58.000This settlement reflects Fox's continued commitment to the highest journalistic standards.
00:22:08.000Okay, now I will point out here that the sort of cynicism here from CNN, you know, okay, they want to say that Fox News does not have high journalistic standards.
00:22:17.000I will also point out that CNN's journalistic standards are somewhat lacking.
00:22:20.000It was not all that long ago that CNN had to settle a lawsuit from Nick Sandman, you'll recall, over the case in which they said that a kid wearing a MAGA hat had somehow victimized a Native American gentleman when the truth was almost precisely the opposite.
00:22:33.000According to CNN Business, at the time, the settlement allowed CNN to avoid a lengthy and potentially unpredictable trial.
00:22:39.000Sandman had sought $275 million in damages in a lawsuit that he filed against CNN last March.
00:22:45.000So CNN did issue an apology, apparently, to Nick Sandman at the time.
00:22:52.000The reality is that people who are watching the news know what they are watching very often.
00:22:56.000And so there are a lot of people on the left like, well, why aren't people who watch Fox News turning off the news?
00:23:03.000News consumers, I think, typically are a little smarter than commentators tend to think that they are.
00:23:07.000What I mean by that is that they can discern very often between, you know, a lie and the truth.
00:23:13.000And so the fact that Fox News was airing a bunch of nonsense from Sidney Powell is pretty self-evident to anybody with a brain that Sidney Powell was not telling the truth about all of this.
00:23:21.000And again, the new standard that is being set up, if you want to revise New York Times versus Sullivan, and you want to lower the standard for defamation, I'm ready to hear about it.
00:23:30.000I'd like to hear what exactly the case is because, frankly, defamation law in other countries is significantly Less liberal than it is in the United States.
00:23:39.000However, if you're going to say that meeting the standard of actual defamation, actual malice, now includes, I think very strongly that a thing is not true, but if I air the opposing point of view, then this means I'm guilty of defamation, you're getting into some very dicey territory very quickly.
00:23:52.000Now speaking of media airing just absolute lies, outrageous lies, and treating it as the absolute truth, obviously the best example of our times is the lie That boys can become girls and girls can become boys.
00:24:04.000It is reflected by the Biden administration.
00:24:07.000But, kind of a fascinating tiff has broken out between the Biden administration and one of the most famous quote-unquote trans people in America.
00:24:36.000Well, the Biden administration put out a Title IX guidance suggesting that when there was unfair advantage for men in sports, theoretically, you could have bodies that put restrictions on whether trans women could compete against the actual women.
00:24:50.000And Leah Thomas is very angry about this because as a beautiful woman, Leah Thomas has strong feelings that all women, including women who still have penises, should be allowed to compete with the other women, even if they have like a foot height advantage and a lot different musculature.
00:25:08.000I'm a transgender woman, a former college swimmer, and the first trans athlete to be named Division 1 NCAA champion.
00:25:14.000That's why it breaks my heart to see trans kids across the country lose out on these opportunities.
00:25:21.000The Department of Education has proposed a new rule for Title IX regarding transgender athletes.
00:25:26.000This rule would prohibit blanket bans on transgender kids, especially in grades K-8.
00:25:31.000However, it would not prohibit discrimination against trans kids in the high school and college levels under the guise of competitive fairness.
00:25:43.000During this time of intense anti-trans backlash, the trans community needs explicit protections from discrimination in order to live our lives freely and equally.
00:26:14.000This is a man who wants to compete with the woman for bleeps and giggles, and also because he may have some weird fetishes, as has been revealed before.
00:26:25.000Just a quick note on the new look from Leah Thomas.
00:26:28.000So Leah Thomas decided not only was he going to look like a woman, he was going to look like a crazy woman.
00:26:34.000He was going to be a A man who believes he is a woman, but doesn't just believe he is a woman, believes he is a woman with horribly colored hair.
00:27:31.000So Katie Porter, one of the more obnoxious Democrats on the Hill, again, famous because she knows what a whiteboard is and sometimes uses one.
00:27:38.000She was on Bill Maher, and she suggested that Riley Gaines is the problem here.
00:28:04.000I've got no truck to ride against personally, but all I've seen her do is stand up for women's rights to fairness and equality.
00:28:09.000She actually competed against Leah Thomas and it was obviously unfair.
00:28:14.000Leah Thomas won one of the races in the NCAA Championships by 50 seconds against a bunch of biological females who simply couldn't keep up.
00:28:25.000That is something that I trust, I think our sporting bodies should be dealing with.
00:28:33.000And by the way, Riley is speaking up for herself, and that is her prerogative, and I respect her free speech.
00:28:39.000I think she's speaking up for pretty much every female athlete in the world.
00:28:44.000Katie Porter just getting owned because, again, it turns out that all it takes is like a small dose of common sense from Piers Morgan there in order to completely implode the narrative.
00:28:51.000But the narrative matters more than that.
00:28:53.000And no amount of facts will change the narrative.
00:28:56.000And corporate America is behind that narrative as well, which is why the fight between Disney and the state of Florida continues apace.
00:29:03.000And not just that, Disney is doubling down on its social leftism.
00:29:06.000So apparently I made headlines a little bit earlier this week when I suggested that Frozen 3, I said Frozen 4 because frankly, who cares?
00:29:13.000But Frozen 3, I said if in Frozen 3, Disney decides, as widely rumored, to make Elsa a lesbian, they will be destroying their company.
00:29:22.000Because there are a lot of parents out there who have let their kids watch the Frozen series who are not interested in their kids being indoctrinated about alternative sexualities in the middle of a kid's film.
00:29:33.000And they're not interested in their daughters prancing around in dresses that have now become incredibly politicized and sexualized because of Disney.
00:29:41.000But Disney is going to double down on that stuff, apparently.
00:29:58.000This is why you should have Policy Genius.
00:30:00.000With Policy Genius, you can find life insurance policies starting at just 25 bucks per month for a million bucks in coverage.
00:30:05.000Some options offer coverage in as little as a week and avoid those unnecessary medical exams.
00:30:09.000PolicyGenius's licensed agents work for you, not the insurance companies, which means they don't have an incentive to recommend one insurer over another, so you can trust their guidance.
00:30:54.000For example, apparently it is fine to be pro-choice and kill babies in the womb or engage in the human sacrifice of taking small children and transing them.
00:31:03.000Yet the fundamentals of Judeo-Christian law compel us to revere the sacred, including God himself.
00:31:08.000Commandment number three, thou shalt not take thy God's name in vain, is akin to casual blasphemy.
00:31:12.000It's not something that we think about a lot, but you know whose mind it did cross.
00:31:15.000Jordan Peterson's in the latest episode of Exodus, we talked about this concept.
00:31:18.000Yeah, I've kind of revamped my earlier view about taking the Lord's name in vain.
00:31:22.000You know, I thought, well, it definitely meant, do not take to yourself what is religious to justify your own tyrannical presuppositions.
00:31:31.000But I also think there is likely an injunction against The entire series is just fantastic.
00:31:37.000It was really a privilege to sit with Jordan.
00:31:38.000I'm in this part of the series, and we sat with esteemed scholars, theologians, and artists to discuss one of the most seminal books in the Bible.

00:32:06.000As I was talking about, Disney is now mobilizing, doubling down on the LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign, happy face emoji, sad face emoji, poop emoji agenda.
00:32:14.000There was some talk that maybe Disney would moderate its social stances, given the fact that they've actually seen some pretty severe market blowback after deciding to put lesbians in Buzz Lightyear's film, the Buzz Lightyear film, and to move left with regard to the Florida bill, the Parental Rights and Education Act in Florida.
00:32:29.000Well, no, they're actually just going to keep going with this.
00:32:32.000And so now, The California version of Disneyland is going to be launching their first ever Pride Night.
00:32:38.000Mickey and Minnie Mouse will be dressed in rainbow costumes because this is really what's important.
00:32:42.000So before they've had like gay days at Disneyland.
00:32:45.000This sort of happens informally where a lot of gay people show up and are wearing rainbow gear around the Disneyland.
00:33:59.000It's a new after-hours event, debuting as Disney continues to come under fire for its inclusivity, according to USA Today, because USA Today is a wild left publication.
00:34:08.000It'll be held June 13th and June 15th at California's Disneyland Park.
00:34:12.000The specially ticketed event officially begins at 9 p.m.
00:34:14.000each night after the park closes to guests, but Pride Night guests can enter the park as early as 6 p.m., similar to their other after-hours events.
00:34:45.000Over the next few years, Disney's IP, some of the best IP in literally all of human history, is going to be degraded by the left-wingers who actually run Disney and staff its halls.
00:34:56.000Meanwhile, the battle between the state of Florida and Disney continues.
00:35:01.000You'll recall that originally what happened here is that Disney got involved for no apparent reason in the Parental Rights and Education Act debate.
00:35:07.000That bill was widely popular in Florida.
00:35:09.000All it prevented was K through eight-year-old students, K through three students from learning about radical LGBTQ plus minus divided by sign, gender theory, and sexual orientation.
00:35:37.000And the state of Florida was like, well, if you're going to take advantage of special tax breaks, is what Governor Sands said, if you're going to take advantage of special tax breaks, like you have an entire special tax district, we can make that go away.
00:35:48.000The entire idea here is that you are going to stay in your lane.
00:35:51.000Your lane is providing magical childhood experiences to, you know, children and not getting involved in actual legislation that doesn't impact your business at all.
00:35:59.000It's one thing if Disney is lobbying on behalf of particular tax laws or employment laws or something.
00:36:05.000It's another thing if they just decide to get involved in like the abortion debate.
00:36:09.000And so Ron DeSantis was like, okay, listen, you guys have the special tax district and this is the way that it works.
00:36:14.000You guys get out of your lane, you don't get the tax benefits.
00:36:16.000And Disney then fought back by essentially working to preset all of the rules of the game before there was a transfer of power from the special Disney district to the new board that had been created to oversee Reedy Creek.
00:37:17.000I mean, they thought that they could create some type of development agreements that would essentially render everything that we did null and void and put them in control in perpetuity for this.
00:37:35.000Okay, now what DeSantis is suggesting is a bunch of actions that the state could take because even if you've got those development agreements in place, guess what?
00:37:43.000The state can still declare, for example, a state park or maybe open Reedy Creek to other amusement parks because you guys don't actually run the place anymore.
00:37:52.000And then he jokingly theorized that maybe they would drop a prison there.
00:37:56.000Which, of course, they're not going to do because that would completely undermine the tourism industry in the state of Florida.
00:38:23.000Remember, Iger is a big Democratic donor.
00:38:24.000There was even talk that he might run for president as a Democrat.
00:38:27.000And so he's decided to take one of the largest and most historic American companies ever created and completely twist it to his perverse political desires and then yell and scream when there are consequences to his actions.
00:38:38.000The company apparently Has earmarked more than $17 billion in spending at the resort over the next decade.
00:38:44.000But Iger is signaling that future investment in Disney World could be at risk.
00:39:33.000Listen, stockholders, you didn't like Bob Chaypek because you didn't like what just happened over the past couple of years?
00:39:37.000Get ready for more, because the truth is, Chaypek was a stopgap and actually a more moderate replacement for Iger.
00:39:42.000Iger is the one who put all this crap in place, and Iger is the one who's going to keep doubling down on it because, again, he has his political priorities.
00:39:49.000Meanwhile, it's fun to watch members of the left suddenly figure out that they don't like it when the government gets involved in business issues.
00:39:56.000Here's MSNBC declaring DeSantis un-American for going after the special tax district for Disney.
00:40:04.000And his behavior taking on Disney is not only petulant, but should be concerning to people who claim that they're free market conservatives because political retribution against a private company is definitely not conservative and quite frankly, un-American.
00:40:21.000It's funny to hear this from folks over on MSNBC, who have yet to find a project they don't want the government to intervene with, unless it is saving unborn babies or telling corporations not to involve themselves in social issues.
00:40:34.000Meanwhile, you have dullards like Chris Christie.
00:40:36.000Chris Christie is one of the more annoying people in American politics.
00:40:38.000I mean, truly, Chris Christie is a blowhard loudmouth who served one good term as New Jersey governor and then completely imploded upon himself and then proceeded in a in one of history's most famous political murder suicides to take out Marco Rubio, like in the bumper car race that was the 2016 primaries and take himself out at the same exact time.
00:40:56.000Well, now he's attacking Ron DeSantis.
00:40:58.000He's He has nothing to say really about Trump, but he's very angry at DeSantis apparently.
00:41:01.000He says, this isn't the guy I want sitting across from President Xi or sitting across from Putin or trying to resolve what's happening in Ukraine.
00:41:07.000If you can't see around a corner that Bob Iger created for you, I don't think Ron DeSantis is a conservative.
00:41:11.000So in other words, you think he's too harsh with Disney, so you don't want him sitting with Xi or Putin.
00:41:15.000Meanwhile, Donald Trump is weirdly attacking DeSantis.
00:41:19.000He's actually running at DeSantis from the left, which is a very weird move in a presidential primary.
00:41:25.000Especially when Trump's whole thing is macho man, he's super macho, he is Donald Trump, destroyer, reaper.
00:41:50.000So now Donald Trump is saying that DeSantis should lay off of Disney, just a few days after his son declared that conservatives should lay off of Bud Light.
00:41:59.000It sounds like real conservative stuff.
00:42:02.000The most important thing for Trump, by the way, is that he, over the past couple of days, launched a project of his own.
00:42:06.000This, of course, would be he launched another round of non-fungible tokens.
00:42:11.000So Ron DeSantis is fighting Disney to help try to prevent one of the world's most powerful cultural organizations from going completely woke and indoctrinating kids.
00:42:21.000And involving itself in ultra-crapadarian politics.
00:42:24.000And Donald Trump is releasing pictures of himself holding the Liberty Bell.
00:42:28.000Quote, I am pleased to inform you that due to the great success of my previously launched digital trading cards, we're doing it again.
00:42:43.000By the way, it is important to know here that one of the reasons the left is so fearful of dissent is because he actually knows what he's doing.
00:42:49.000He actually does know what he is doing.
00:42:51.000When you're considering your primary vote, you might consider, one, who can win.
00:42:54.000Two, who's going to be able to actually do things once they win.
00:42:57.000According to the Washington Post, in one of the most, I would say, frightened pieces I've ever seen, quote, State lawmakers are passing the governor's legislative agenda with a speed some find alarming.
00:43:11.000If you're a Republican, if you're a conservative, this should make you very happy because this is how it's going to work.
00:43:17.000This is how you actually achieve things.
00:43:20.000Worth noting at this point, by the way, that the polls are coming back together a little bit in terms of Trump versus DeSantis.
00:43:26.000New polls have Trump's bump post-indictment dropping by about 10 points.
00:43:31.000A couple of weeks ago, he was up over DeSantis, 57-31.
00:43:35.000DeSantis picked up five points, Trump has lost five points.
00:44:00.000Well, we all want Happy to live a long, healthy, and happy life, which is why I'm excited to give him Ruff Greens.
00:44:06.000Naturopathic doctor Dennis Black, the founder of Ruff Greens, is focused on improving the health of every dog in America.
00:44:10.000The dog food you've been giving your dog is dead food, which doesn't have a lot of nutritional value.
00:44:14.000That's why I've started supplementing Happy's diet with Rough Greens.
00:44:17.000Rough Greens is a supplement that contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omega oils, digestive enzymes, and antioxidants your dog needs.
00:44:23.000You don't have to go out and buy new dog food, just sprinkle some Rough Greens on their food every day.
00:44:27.000Dog owners everywhere are raving about Rough Greens.
00:44:29.000It supports healthy joints, improves bad breath, boosts energy levels, and a lot more.
00:44:33.000We are what we eat, and that goes for our dogs, too.
00:45:09.000I mean, there's a case in which a 16-year-old black kid walked up to the wrong door, knocked on the door, apparently was shot through the door by an 84-year-old man, a white man.
00:45:17.000And this, of course, turned into national news because this is supposed to be emblematic of the entire racial situation in the United States.
00:45:23.000We talked about yesterday on the show that it's absolute nonsense.
00:45:25.000The fact is that 84 percent Of all violent crimes, according to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, committed interracially between blacks and whites are black on white, not white on black.
00:45:36.000Joe Biden needs the racial narrative because, again, Democrats prey on racial narratives in order to win votes.
00:45:41.000He tweeted out, So, the rules are, you either win an NCAA championship, or you're a black person who gets shot by a white person.
00:45:45.000Those are the people who get to go to the White House, according to Joe Biden.
00:45:48.000What's amazing about this, and what's obviously amazing about this, you know who won't be called to the White House?
00:45:52.000are, you either win an NCAA championship or you're a black person who gets shot by a white person. Those are the people who get to go to the White House, according to Joe Biden.
00:46:00.000What's amazing about this, and what's obviously amazing about this, you know who won't be called to the White House is the family of Kaylen Gillis.
00:46:10.000The reason you won't hear of her again is because her situation is almost exactly the same as Ralph Yarles, except she's a white lady who got shot by a white guy.
00:46:17.000So that's not worthy of media note, because again, it doesn't back a false racial narrative, which is that black people are at systemic risk of death because of white racism and white supremacy in the United States.
00:46:27.000The New York Times, the same day that the Ralph Yarles story broke, story in the New York Times, but this will end up in the local news stories.
00:46:34.000Man charged with murder in shooting of woman who went up wrong driveway.
00:46:36.000A man in upstate New York was charged with murder on Monday in the killing of a woman who was in a car that mistakenly drove into his driveway, according to officials.
00:46:42.000The woman and the three friends she was with never got out of the car on Saturday night, according to Jeffrey Murphy, the Washington County Sheriff.
00:46:48.000They were turning around after realizing their error when the man, Kevin Monaghan, 65, stepped out of the house in Hebron, New York, and fired at least two shots at the car, according to the sheriff.
00:46:56.000One of the bullets struck the woman killing Gillis, 20, and the group drove about six miles to a nearby town before they got through to 911.
00:47:01.000Emergency services workers responded and performed life-saving measures on Gillis.
00:47:07.000Sheriff Murphy described the killing of Gillis, who lived in Schuylerville, New York, about 20 miles from where the shooting happened, as very sad.
00:47:12.000He said he knew for a fact she comes from a good family.
00:48:18.000On Holocaust Remembrance Day, we grieve the six million Jews and millions of other innocent lives lost during one of the darkest chapters in history.
00:48:25.000We can't redeem the past, but we can commit to building a future where we uphold the values of justice, equality, and diversity.
00:48:33.000Okay, so Holocaust Remembrance Day is about the Jews.
00:48:39.000This attempt to all lives matter to the Holocaust is kind of interesting, coming from the President of the United States.
00:48:43.000There's been an attempt, when it comes to the Holocaust, to flatten it out into a story about man's inhumanity to man.
00:48:48.000That is not really what the Holocaust is about.
00:48:50.000You want examples of man's inhumanity to man?
00:48:51.000Look all over the world at any given time.
00:48:53.000People are being inhumane to each other and evil to each other all over the world at any given time.
00:48:56.000What's unique about the Holocaust, what makes it different, it was the systematic murder of six million people because of their ethnicity.
00:49:02.000And specifically because of their faith and ethnicity.
00:49:05.000It was specifically about the targeting of Jews, the age-old problem of anti-Semitism, in its most virulently evil form during the Holocaust.
00:49:12.000Does Joe Biden have anything to say about that?
00:49:13.000No, because that might raise weird questions about some members of his own party, if you start talking about anti-Semitism.
00:49:19.000It might start raising weird questions about, for example, the Middle East, where Hamas is a genocidal anti-Jewish group that claims that it wants to kill every Jew in the area, or about Iran and his foreign policy.
00:49:27.000So instead, he's going to sidestep that, and the Holocaust turns into a discussion about man's inhumanity to man.
00:49:33.000This presumably is how you end up with social media posts that liken black Americans to Jews during the Holocaust.
00:49:42.000This kind of stuff was happening yesterday.
00:49:43.000I mean, this sort of stuff is silly and it's nonsensical, but again, the narrative is the narrative and it must be preserved at all costs.
00:49:49.000Okay, time for a thing I like, and then we'll get to some things that I hate.
00:50:04.000Which means, of course, that it's toxic fandom.
00:50:07.000The way that it works now is that studios, like Disney, right, because Disney owns Marvel, that these studios decide that they are going to go woke, and then people don't like the wokeness, or they don't like the quality, and they're like, this is toxic fandom.
00:50:18.000You just don't like the Asian girl in the Star Wars movies.
00:52:50.000The trailer has unfortunately been met with a barrage of dislikes and negative comments, receiving backlash from a toxic group within the toxic fandom.
00:53:22.000Okay, time for some things that I hate.
00:53:24.000Okay, so let's talk about Emma Watson.
00:53:30.000So one of the things that is truly amazing about all of the stars of the Harry Potter film franchise is that they are supposedly great heroes now.
00:53:38.000They have the guy who played Harry Potter, who's not been famous since, going out there and being in favor of transing the kids and angry at J.K.
00:54:55.000Most celebrities get trapped because they're not embedded in community, because they didn't get married young, because they don't have kids, right?
00:54:59.000Because of all of this sort of stuff, they end up in a very weird mental space.
00:55:39.000So, I mean, just look at her political... Because she's an abortion hero, this means that we have to pretend that she's actually not a crazy person, but she's kind of a crazy person.
00:55:59.000Child stars are notorious for going off the rails and completely falling apart as they get older.
00:56:03.000Emma Watson apparently is no exception to that rule.
00:56:07.000So for example, back in 2018, she's promoting abortion.
00:56:10.000She says, it's a great honor to be asked by Porter Magazine to pay the deepest respect to the legacy of Dr. Savita Hlapanavar, whose death powered the determination of activists to change Irish abortion laws and fight for reproductive justice all over the world.
00:56:21.000And she spoke at the UN and she was a, she was a female rights hero.
00:56:25.000She's a female rights hero, not just an actress who as a child became famous, but like a real, there's only one problem.
00:59:12.000It turns out that she is saying that the stars are changing her life.
00:59:17.000A Saturn return, because I'm a sane person, I had no idea what this was, because I'm not a crazy person who believes that the stars control the course of my life, you know, like an ancient pagan.
00:59:27.000Apparently, a Saturn return, this is according to chonynicholas.com, is when the planet Saturn finds its way back to the same place it was when you were born.
00:59:36.000It takes between 27 and 30 years for Saturn to travel through the zodiac, so that means everyone goes through a Saturn return at the end of their 20s, 50s, and 80s.
00:59:44.000And apparently, this has some horoscopic significance.
