The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1004 - 'Inciting Violence' By Telling The Truth

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, big tech has begun banning accounts who they say are inciting

00:00:04.740 violence against medical clinics that butcher and castrate children.

00:00:08.240 But if criticism is incitement, then aren't we, as conservatives, victims of it also?

00:00:13.100 Or is that not how it works?

00:00:14.280 Plus, public health authorities finally admit that monkeypox is a sexually transmitted disease.

00:00:18.820 This raises some extremely disturbing questions about the pets and children that have contracted

00:00:23.240 it.

00:00:23.820 Also, Mike Pence calls on conservatives to stop attacking the FBI.

00:00:27.320 He is missing the point, and I'll explain why.

00:00:30.260 Pediatricians speak out anonymously against the transing of kids, and our daily cancellation

00:00:34.140 students at the University of Virginia want all mention of their school's founder erased.

00:00:38.880 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:50.060 I want to talk to you about American financing, America's home for home loans, because I really

00:00:54.740 think that you could benefit from one of their 10-minute mortgage reviews.

00:00:57.780 It's a free, no-obligation conversation around your current loan, your other debts, and even

00:01:02.220 buying a new home.

00:01:03.600 You can talk about whatever you want to talk about with your salary-based mortgage consultant

00:01:06.820 because they're focused on you, not on getting a commission.

00:01:10.120 Let them run the numbers for you and see if they can save you up to $1,000 a month.

00:01:13.920 If they can, you can move forward with a new custom loan and start saving more today.

00:01:18.540 American financing is a family-owned business.

00:01:20.860 There's no pressure.

00:01:21.820 There's no obligation.

00:01:22.500 There's no upfront or hidden fees.

00:01:23.880 It's worth the call to learn more.

00:01:25.940 And look, you can't afford to not call because we're all looking for ways to save money, and

00:01:29.260 this is the way to do it.

00:01:31.220 Call 866-569-4711.

00:01:34.560 Call them right now and start saving money immediately.

00:01:36.820 That again is 866-569-4711.

00:01:39.840 Or you can simply visit AmericanFinancing.net.

00:01:43.620 NMLS 182-334.

00:01:46.840 NMLSConsumerAccess.org.

00:01:47.880 In April of last year, Dan Frankel, a member of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives,

00:01:53.580 sat down for an interview with Dr. Gerald Montano, who's the medical director of the

00:01:58.160 Gender and Sexuality Development Program at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh.

00:02:02.320 He's also the assistant professor of pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

00:02:06.740 So that's his whole resume, quite extensive.

00:02:09.220 And it was a 20-minute discussion that covered a wide range of questions,

00:02:12.580 all related to the sort of gender-affirming care offered to children at the hospital.

00:02:17.500 Now, oddly enough, the video was posted to YouTube last year on the Pennsylvania

00:02:24.040 House of Representatives YouTube channel, but then it was unlisted.

00:02:28.460 And when you unlist a video, it means that it won't pop up during a search on the site,

00:02:33.040 which means that nobody will see it unless they go directly to your channel.

00:02:36.780 And if your channel is the Pennsylvania House of Representatives channel,

00:02:40.020 that means, well, nobody will see it at all.

00:02:43.080 And nobody did until I found it yesterday and posted it to Twitter.

00:02:47.260 Now, the video is relevant this week, especially, as the media and the left run around pulling their

00:02:53.800 hair out, accusing conservatives like myself and many others of harassing and inciting violence

00:03:00.140 against gender clinics and children's hospitals by, they say, making up stories about children

00:03:06.900 being medically transitioned.

00:03:08.900 This is all something that we're making up.

00:03:10.780 It's invented.

00:03:12.140 It's false.

00:03:12.740 It's misinformation.

00:03:13.400 And yet, up until these establishments started getting public blowback about all these procedures,

00:03:19.880 they were quite open and upfront about what they were doing.

00:03:22.900 As you can hear in this video, Dr. Montano lays out in detail how children begin to socially

00:03:29.880 transition, quote unquote, at five and then medically transition at 10, followed by,

00:03:34.480 in some cases, surgery before they turn 18.

00:03:37.260 What does gender-affirming care look like for a five-year-old and then maybe for a 10-year-old?

00:03:44.500 That's another good question.

00:03:46.360 So for a five-year-old, there is no medical intervention for a five-year-old because none

00:03:50.380 is necessary.

00:03:51.720 What we do for a five-year-old is that we refer them to a therapist to help them explore their

00:03:56.920 gender identity and to make them feel comfortable with how they feel about themselves.

00:04:01.080 Now, for a 10-year-old, that really depends on where they are in puberty because for some

00:04:06.560 people, especially those who are assigned female at birth, they might start having signs of

00:04:12.320 puberty.

00:04:13.220 And then there is discussion on whether or not pupital blockers may be warranted for that

00:04:18.300 individual because they can become really distressed if they're starting to develop secondary

00:04:23.440 sex characteristics that really distresses them.

00:04:26.940 So it really depends on where they are in puberty at 10 years old.

00:04:29.660 When would hormone therapy tend to be introduced and how do we know that that's safe?

00:04:35.080 So another good question.

00:04:37.180 So according to the Endocrine Society guidelines for working with transsexual individuals, they

00:04:43.700 recommend that the age is 16.

00:04:46.100 There's a lot of discussion about surgical options.

00:04:49.740 When does that become part of the discussion and do all trans people seek surgery?

00:04:55.340 Another good question.

00:04:56.380 And so for, depending on the type of surgery, but for the vast majority of surgeries, they

00:05:03.800 are not done until the youth is 18 years old.

00:05:07.520 The only exception is top surgery in which sometimes that is done earlier.

00:05:11.760 And again, that is a intensely personal decision between the child, the family, and the doctor

00:05:19.540 and the surgeon and the mental health provider to see if that is the right path towards them.

00:05:24.900 An intensely personal decision whether the child is going to have her breast chopped off.

00:05:32.100 He's actually, he's still not telling the full truth there.

00:05:34.220 He says the only exception when it comes to surgeries on minors is top surgery, so-called top surgery.

00:05:40.440 That's not true.

00:05:41.440 They do all kinds of other surgeries on kids as well.

00:05:46.000 But even if it was just top surgery, that would certainly be bad enough.

00:05:50.200 Now, we can expect that the video I just played there will be promptly deleted just as gender

00:05:55.400 clinics and children's hospitals around the country are right now, this week, frantically

00:06:00.740 deleting all of the material that they had once proudly published advertising their treatment

00:06:05.440 of children, including extremely young children.

00:06:08.200 Here's another likely soon-to-be-deleted video.

00:06:10.280 This from the director of the Yale Pediatric Gender Program, extolling her program's benefits

00:06:15.860 for children as young as three years old, in her case.

00:06:20.780 So I'm a clinical psychologist by training, and I am the director of the Yale Gender Program,

00:06:27.940 which is an interdisciplinary program working with gender-expansive individuals, 3 to 25, and their families.

00:06:35.740 We help individuals who are questioning their gender identity or who identify as transgender

00:06:42.160 or non-binary.

00:06:43.160 We help them with their gender journey, thinking through that, thinking through the risks and

00:06:48.700 the benefits of medical intervention, starting medical intervention, and also building supports

00:06:55.800 around them.

00:06:56.800 I love what I do, so it's really, really wonderful to be working in this field and to be working

00:07:03.860 with individuals who are gender diverse and gaining their support and helping them on

00:07:08.320 their gender journeys.

00:07:10.140 Now, what can be said in defense of this lunacy?

00:07:14.800 Apparently nothing at all, which is why the media has, again, left in action this week,

00:07:19.220 not to defend the practice, but to call for critics of the practice to be silenced on the

00:07:23.600 grounds that we're engaging in harassment and incitement.

00:07:27.100 This is what Christopher Ruffo, I think, aptly calls discourse engineering, and we're seeing

00:07:32.260 it play out, we've seen it play out many times, but perhaps rarely as starkly and blatantly

00:07:37.320 as it has this week.

00:07:39.260 And it always follows the same basic path, right?

00:07:42.460 The left engages in some kind of outrageous, sickening behavior.

00:07:47.540 They get away with it for a long time, right?

00:07:50.640 But they keep pushing the envelope, and eventually they go too far, and people notice, and then

00:07:56.560 a public backlash follows.

00:07:59.280 But then the media comes along and ignores the actual reason for the backlash, completely

00:08:03.800 sidesteps the criticisms that the critics are actually making, and instead cries about

00:08:08.520 harassment and incitement, and calls on more powerful institutions like big tech to de-platform

00:08:14.620 and silence the critics.

00:08:16.440 And usually they get their way.

00:08:17.460 Now, it was announced last night that the Libs of TikTok account on Facebook has now

00:08:22.940 been suspended, seemingly on a permanent basis.

00:08:25.960 Now, the ostensible reason is that the account ran afoul of community standards because of

00:08:32.480 its posts about the Boston Children's Hospital child mutilation program.

00:08:36.220 But all that Libs of TikTok did, of course, is simply point out what BCH was doing and criticize

00:08:43.460 them for it.

00:08:44.080 There has been, once again, no effort to engage with the criticism.

00:08:49.360 It is easier simply to silence them.

00:08:52.600 Now, the pressure is falling on Twitter to follow suit and ban anyone who criticizes or

00:08:57.280 even talks about the drugging and mutilating of children.

00:09:00.980 Yesterday, Media Matters tweeted this.

00:09:03.620 The Daily Wire's Matt Walsh falsely accused Boston Children's Hospital of putting, quote,

00:09:08.280 every toddler who's ever been born on a path to sterilization and butchery before they can

00:09:13.280 even talk.

00:09:14.400 Two days later, the hospital staff was deluged by violent threats.

00:09:19.680 Now, there's obviously a not at all subtle attempt here to draw a direct connection between

00:09:26.180 my monologue that I gave on the show a couple days ago and the supposed violent threats against

00:09:31.500 the Children's Hospital.

00:09:32.400 Never mind that Media Matters actually misquotes me, which you can hear if you listen to the

00:09:37.520 clip that they themselves posted and provided.

00:09:40.700 Let's listen to that.

00:09:42.400 Today on the Matt Walsh show, children's hospitals around the country are butchering, mutilating,

00:09:46.520 and sterilizing their young patients.

00:09:48.140 According to Boston Children's Hospital, literally every toddler who has ever been born or will

00:09:53.840 ever be born is trans.

00:09:55.300 Now, if it seems like they're casting the widest imaginable net in order to catch the

00:09:59.900 most children they can and put them all on a path to sterilization and butchery before

00:10:04.240 they can even talk, well, that's because that's exactly what these monsters are doing.

00:10:10.500 And they've done it up until this moment without much resistance from the public.

00:10:16.360 But that has to end.

00:10:18.460 We have to stop making it so easy on them.

00:10:20.720 And that's why I'm in the very early stages of trying to organize a national coordinated

00:10:26.240 effort to fight back against this evil.

00:10:29.880 You know, it's really just a matter of where do we begin?

00:10:32.140 Maybe we begin at Boston Children's Hospital.

00:10:35.060 Boston Children's Hospital says its staff is being threatened and harassed now after far-right

00:10:39.980 activists on social media posted misinformation claiming they perform gender-affirming hysterectomy

00:10:45.300 procedures on young girls.

00:10:47.220 The hospital says it's not true.

00:10:49.340 They do not perform those procedures for anyone under the age of 18.

00:10:54.020 Boston Children's Hospital says it is proud, though, to be home to the first pediatric and

00:10:58.260 adolescent transgender health program in the United States.

00:11:01.700 The hospital, though, now is working with law enforcement to try to better protect its

00:11:06.060 staff in the face of these lies.

00:11:08.680 Lies, yeah.

00:11:10.080 Once again, the obfuscation.

00:11:11.560 Well, we don't do that.

00:11:12.360 We don't do that procedure.

00:11:14.600 Yeah, but you are taking young girls and you're chopping their breasts off.

00:11:18.100 That's what you're doing.

00:11:19.340 And you're chemically castrating kids.

00:11:20.880 That's what you're doing.

00:11:23.120 No, we don't remove their uteruses.

00:11:26.180 We just cut their breasts off and sterilize them.

00:11:28.140 That's all we do.

00:11:29.360 That's all we're doing to kids.

00:11:30.440 No big deal.

00:11:30.980 Now, Media Matters quotes me as saying that Boston Children's is putting every toddler

00:11:38.740 who's ever been born on a path to sterilization and butchery before they can even talk.

00:11:42.580 In reality, I said that Boston Children's is casting a wide net, catching as many children

00:11:46.940 as they can, and putting them all on a path to sterilization and butchery.

00:11:50.960 The difference in those two claims should be obvious.

00:11:53.720 They're not doing it to literally every child on earth, as much as they might want to.

00:11:57.200 I don't know, but they're doing it to as many kids as they can, which is true.

00:12:03.940 Media Matters has to lie about what I said because they can't argue against or deny what

00:12:09.420 I actually said.

00:12:10.480 They can only demand that I be punished for saying it.

00:12:13.800 This has also been the strategy of Brianna Wu, who's the, you know, the Gamergate chick,

00:12:17.980 and she was on a tear.

00:12:19.860 She's been on a tear for the past 24 hours demanding that I be deplatformed on the grounds

00:12:24.900 of incitement.

00:12:25.460 This morning, she ranted, Matt Walsh is going to get someone killed.

00:12:28.820 Twitter should suspend him for inciting violence.

00:12:31.440 If you want evidence, just look at my mentions from him yesterday.

00:12:34.960 These are the same violent nutjobs that murdered George Tiller for providing abortions.

00:12:39.660 A show on Twitter doesn't faze me, but calls for violence and dehumanizing healthcare workers

00:12:44.580 is a different story.

00:12:46.160 This is screaming fire in a crowded theater, and Twitter shouldn't facilitate it.

00:12:50.040 Someone is going to get killed.

00:12:51.420 Now, I never called for violence, obviously.

00:12:56.080 There's a reason why, among all the claims that I've called for violence and others have

00:13:00.760 called for violence, no one's quoted us calling for violence.

00:13:04.380 Did you hear that in the Media Matters clip?

00:13:06.920 Did I tell anyone to go do anything violent?

00:13:09.660 Of course not.

00:13:12.180 She's also lying.

00:13:13.640 You know, all these people can do is lie because, again, they absolutely cannot engage with the

00:13:19.140 point.

00:13:19.480 They cannot defend the practices that I and so many others are criticizing.

00:13:24.320 I went back and forth with Brianna for a while, asking her if she could actually offer some

00:13:29.460 sort of defense or justification for giving double mastectomies to teen girls, chemically

00:13:33.300 castrating, pre-buvesant boys.

00:13:35.480 She couldn't defend it.

00:13:36.560 And instead kept repeating like some kind of incantation that I'm committing incitement.

00:13:43.320 You know, it's actually, I am speaking out against violence.

00:13:48.860 I'm speaking out against the violence being done to children.

00:13:53.000 People like Brianna Wu and Media Matters and all the rest of them on the left are defending

00:13:58.240 violence against children and trying to silence anyone who speaks out against it.

00:14:03.300 But, you know, if criticism is incitement, then it must be said that Brianna Wu is inciting

00:14:11.080 violence against me.

00:14:12.440 Media Matters is the most guilty of this.

00:14:16.820 Media Matters is certainly guilty of incitement.

00:14:19.960 In fact, Media Matters has been attacking me relentlessly for years.

00:14:24.020 They've been attacking everyone here at The Daily Wire for years.

00:14:28.680 They're obsessed with us.

00:14:29.880 They want to date us.

00:14:30.820 They either want to date us or they want us killed.

00:14:32.360 Or both, maybe.

00:14:33.920 You never know what these freaks.

00:14:36.380 They are guilty of harassment and incitement by their own logic.

00:14:41.560 And, of course, in their case, there's actually much more of an argument to really be made

00:14:47.060 for that.

00:14:49.660 Because they're lying about us.

00:14:51.020 They're lying about what we're saying.

00:14:52.120 And they're going around claiming that we are, you know, a physical threat.

00:15:01.980 So, by their logic, then they are guilty of incitement.

00:15:05.740 But what we know, of course, is that the incitement charge is only ever made to silence the opposition.

00:15:13.800 And that, obviously, is what this is all about.

00:15:18.360 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:19.600 You've heard me talk a lot on this show about how important it is to get your kids away from the public school system

00:15:30.800 and mainstream kids' content.

00:15:32.580 That's because Marxism, socialism, critical race theory, trans ideology, all of that stuff is out there.

00:15:37.180 The left is pushing a persistent and loud attack on the truth.

00:15:40.240 And they're starting with your kids.

00:15:41.800 There are a lot of ways you can protect your kids from these not-so-secret leftist agendas.

00:15:45.540 You can homeschool, you can get them involved in a religious community, you can give them the right books to read,

00:15:50.220 like my best-selling children's book, Johnny the Walrus, at johnnythewalrus.com.

00:15:53.420 But one of the easiest and simplest ways to protect your children is to take five minutes tonight to write a will with epic will.

00:16:00.040 A will gives you the power to say who will raise your kids should something happen to you and your spouse.

00:16:04.900 It can, in certain cases, be the only legal defense standing between your kids and the persistent indoctrination attempts from the left.

00:16:11.280 If you don't have a will, you're allowing the state to decide everything.

00:16:14.140 Who gets to raise your kids? Who gets your money? Everything.

00:16:17.240 And they can hit your family with a massive fee for administering on your behalf.

00:16:21.340 Don't let that happen. Go to Epic Will.

00:16:23.700 Epic Will is an online will platform that costs less than your next trip to the store.

00:16:27.480 They can set you up with a will in as little as five minutes, starting at just $119+.

00:16:31.280 You can save 10% when you go to epicwill.com and use code Walsh.

00:16:35.220 Take five minutes tonight to write a will, ensuring that your kids will be raised the way you've intended

00:16:39.320 in the event that something happens to you.

00:16:41.140 Go to epicwill.com and use my code Walsh today.

00:16:44.860 All right. I actually want to start with this just because it's kind of fun.

00:16:48.600 Yesterday we showed some images, still images, posted by Congressman Thomas Massey of an IRS recruitment session.

00:16:56.760 And you can see how the IRS is recruiting a bunch of agents to use lethal force against people who claim too many deductions on their tax returns or whatever.

00:17:07.180 But the problem for the agency is that the recruits are about as physically impressive as like a JV badminton squad with all respect to badminton.

00:17:16.960 So Massey had photos from the recruitment, but today we have the actual video footage of this recruitment session, which is even better.

00:17:28.180 So let's go ahead and let's watch some of this as they're recruiting the...

00:17:32.960 They're busting into the place because someone didn't claim $492 worth of sales on Etsy on their taxes or something.

00:17:47.060 Sir, sir, you counted a dinner at Red Lobster as a business expense.

00:17:51.740 Sir, we're taking you in.

00:17:57.560 Okay. The BMI index going on here.

00:18:01.840 Oh, this guy's trying to talk himself out of it.

00:18:07.260 They're not having any of it, though.

00:18:09.720 You know what? Just shoot the guy. Just shoot him.

00:18:13.920 He sold a coffee table on eBay and didn't claim it on his taxes. Just take him out.

00:18:19.560 And then this guy over here. Look at this guy here.

00:18:23.200 Okay, they're taking him in.

00:18:24.700 They've got like five people with guns pointed at his back.

00:18:29.420 Who is this guy? John Wick?

00:18:33.380 Did John Wick make some suspicious deductions?

00:18:39.620 So there we go.

00:18:42.920 That's what the IRS is doing.

00:18:44.380 You know, the thing is, I said yesterday, half-joking, that this should make us feel a little bit better.

00:18:50.960 We can turn it off.

00:18:52.300 This should make us feel a little bit better about the 87,000 agents that they're hiring,

00:18:57.680 especially because, as I said yesterday, if they come to your house with guns,

00:19:01.820 they're probably going to end up just shooting each other by accident.

00:19:05.180 But at the same time, the fact that the tyrants are this physically unimpressive

00:19:16.340 is even more demoralizing in a certain way.

00:19:20.260 It's somehow even more psychologically demoralizing.

00:19:23.520 That in our, you know, in our country today,

00:19:29.920 the petty tyrants running the country are just, it's like this.

00:19:33.960 The most unimpressive, mediocre people imaginable

00:19:37.880 are the tyrants ruling over us.

00:19:43.360 Which in some ways is even worse.

00:19:46.060 You would almost prefer if they were a bunch of like Navy SEALs types.

00:19:49.560 All right.

00:19:53.560 This is from NBC.

00:19:55.440 So, I'm just going to read the report.

00:19:58.800 An update on the monkeypox outbreak.

00:20:02.840 Which may or may not come as a surprise to you.

00:20:06.060 It's from NBC.

00:20:06.780 It says,

00:20:07.020 Since the outset of the global monkeypox outbreak in May,

00:20:09.980 public health and infectious disease experts have told the public

00:20:12.460 that the virus is largely transmitted through skin-to-skin contact,

00:20:17.920 in particular during sex between men.

00:20:21.200 Now, however, an expanding cadre of experts has come to believe that sex between men itself,

00:20:28.060 both anal as well as oral intercourse,

00:20:30.340 is likely the main driver of global monkeypox transmission.

00:20:34.220 The skin contact that comes with sex, these experts say,

00:20:37.060 is probably much less of a risk factor.

00:20:40.160 In recent weeks, a growing body of scientific evidence,

00:20:42.600 including a trio of studies published in peer-reviewed journals,

00:20:45.120 as well as reports from national, regional, and global health authorities,

00:20:47.320 has suggested that experts may have framed monkeypox's typical transmission route

00:20:51.340 precisely backward.

00:20:54.080 Reconceiving the primary risk factors for transmission

00:20:56.480 is crucial because of how it may affect guidance on reducing the risk of infection,

00:21:01.680 including the question of whether demanding that people with the virus self-isolate

00:21:04.700 has any substantial impact on transmission.

00:21:07.060 So now, months later, they're finally admitting that,

00:21:13.380 oh, you know what, this is actually basically an STD.

00:21:17.920 This is a sexually transmitted disease.

00:21:21.680 After claiming for months that it wasn't.

00:21:25.060 That, yeah, it's almost all gay men getting this,

00:21:28.240 and it tends to be transmitted at orgies and that sort of thing.

00:21:35.220 And it's, you know, gay men who have 14 different sexual partners

00:21:40.300 over the course of a weekend.

00:21:41.520 They're the ones who are contracting this.

00:21:43.200 But it's not an STD.

00:21:44.560 It's got nothing to do with gay sex at all.

00:21:46.260 It's just, it's really skin-to-skin contact.

00:21:48.840 That's what they told us.

00:21:51.460 And now, as NBC is admitting, well, that's precisely backwards.

00:21:55.900 And as always, they want to get away with this by saying,

00:22:01.880 well, we didn't know before.

00:22:02.880 So we're just learning as we go along.

00:22:04.940 Well, no, but you did know before.

00:22:06.920 You knew before because I knew.

00:22:09.640 Okay, I'm not a public health expert.

00:22:11.400 I'm not a doctor.

00:22:12.440 I knew because I just have common sense.

00:22:14.320 We all knew.

00:22:16.460 If we can see that this is a disease

00:22:18.420 that is spreading almost entirely in the gay community

00:22:21.300 and that it spreads almost entirely among men

00:22:24.240 who are having sex with each other,

00:22:25.460 pretty good indication that this is a sexually transmitted infection.

00:22:30.480 Never made any sense to say, well, no, it's just skin-to-skin.

00:22:33.960 Okay, well, if that's what it is, then why is it only transmitting among gay men?

00:22:42.860 What about straight people who have sex?

00:22:47.060 There's skin-to-skin contact involved there, too.

00:22:50.120 And what about other environments where there's a lot of close-quarter physical contact?

00:22:55.620 What about people going to concerts or, you know, in any kind of really crowded venue

00:23:00.280 where they're brushing up against each other?

00:23:02.800 If it has nothing to do with sex, then you should see monkeypox outbreaks happening

00:23:08.340 in all those kinds of environments, but you never did

00:23:11.340 because it was obvious from the beginning that this is a sexually transmitted disease

00:23:15.140 among gay people, which now they finally tell us.

00:23:19.460 Because they have to.

00:23:20.840 They have no choice.

00:23:21.660 But this does put a little bit of a different light on some other recent monkeypox-related stories,

00:23:32.460 like this one, for example, from The Hill.

00:23:34.520 You remember this?

00:23:35.620 It says,

00:23:35.980 A dog living with two men in France who were infected with the virus began exhibiting symptoms

00:23:50.920 12 days after they did.

00:23:52.740 The four-year-old male Italian greyhound, which had no previous medical disorders,

00:23:57.280 tested positive after showing symptoms such as lesions and postules on its abdomen.

00:24:01.480 Now, at the time, the two gay men, apparently, who somehow passed monkeypox onto their dog,

00:24:13.400 they said that it was because they were co-sleeping with the dog.

00:24:16.200 They had a dog in bed.

00:24:18.760 But now the public health authorities are telling us that just skin-to-skin,

00:24:22.860 or in this case, skin-to-fur contact, that's not enough.

00:24:26.900 It is primarily through, I don't know,

00:24:31.480 I mean, how do we connect these dots?

00:24:33.640 Do I need to spell it out?

00:24:35.620 It's primarily through sexual contact that this thing has spread,

00:24:39.780 and these two guys gave it to their dog.

00:24:47.420 And even more horrifying than that, actually,

00:24:50.300 is the stories we've also seen of children

00:24:53.500 who are living with adults that have monkeypox

00:24:57.920 and then end up getting monkeypox themselves.

00:24:59.500 Yeah, I mean, if we lived in a country that cared at all about kids,

00:25:04.800 CPS would be breaking into those homes right away

00:25:07.320 and carting those kids out

00:25:08.700 because this is clear evidence

00:25:13.660 of horrible things happening in those homes.

00:25:17.280 All right, let's go here.

00:25:19.140 This is former vice president, rather, Mike Pence,

00:25:22.160 who does have ambitions of being president one day,

00:25:24.780 spoke out yesterday at an event

00:25:27.940 about the anti-FBI sentiments on the right.

00:25:31.900 And what he says is that,

00:25:33.980 hey, we've, as conservatives,

00:25:36.220 we've criticized the defund the police movement.

00:25:38.960 Well, Penn says, let's not replace that with defund the FBI

00:25:42.320 because that's just as wrongheaded.

00:25:44.840 Let's listen to him make that argument.

00:25:46.440 I also want to remind my fellow Republicans

00:25:49.360 we can hold the attorney general accountable

00:25:56.000 for the decision that he made

00:25:58.560 without attacking rank-and-file law enforcement personnel at the FBI.

00:26:06.040 The Republican Party is the party of law and order.

00:26:16.020 Our party stands with the men and women

00:26:17.920 who serve on the thin blue line

00:26:19.320 at the federal and state and local level.

00:26:23.300 And these attacks on the FBI must stop.

00:26:27.020 Calls to defund the FBI are just as wrong

00:26:29.420 as calls to defund the police.

00:26:31.060 The truth of the matter is

00:26:36.200 we need to get to the bottom of what happened.

00:26:40.320 We need to let the facts play out.

00:26:42.920 But more than anything else,

00:26:45.020 the American people need to be reassured

00:26:48.180 in the integrity of our justice system

00:26:51.940 and the very appearance of a recurrence

00:26:55.680 of politics playing a role in decisions

00:26:58.860 that the Justice Department demands

00:27:01.220 transparency as never before.

00:27:03.640 And I will continue to call

00:27:04.940 on the attorney general

00:27:06.480 and the Justice Department

00:27:07.940 to make that information available

00:27:10.880 to the American people

00:27:12.300 and do so now.

00:27:17.840 I totally agree with what Mike Pence said

00:27:20.580 at the end of his statement there

00:27:22.740 where he says that we need to be reassured

00:27:24.900 in the integrity of the justice system.

00:27:26.920 That, certainly, we do need.

00:27:29.800 Because when you have a society

00:27:32.120 that has completely lost faith

00:27:34.180 in the justice system,

00:27:36.680 completely lost any faith

00:27:38.480 that there is a system in place

00:27:40.960 for enacting and exacting justice,

00:27:44.720 well, then you have the collapse of society.

00:27:48.300 So this is of critical importance

00:27:50.480 to reassure the American people

00:27:54.780 about the integrity of the justice system.

00:27:56.640 Well, how do you do that?

00:27:59.100 You do that by taking these kinds of agencies

00:28:02.020 and disassembling them.

00:28:05.500 I mean, ripping them down,

00:28:07.240 ripping them apart.

00:28:10.860 Right down to the foundations.

00:28:13.580 And then rebuilding.

00:28:19.180 So that's the difference.

00:28:21.040 The reason why people are talking about

00:28:23.420 defunding the FBI,

00:28:27.020 overhauling the FBI,

00:28:28.420 abolishing the FBI,

00:28:29.660 however you want to put it,

00:28:30.420 whatever the exact demand is,

00:28:34.660 the reason for that

00:28:36.380 is that the corruption

00:28:37.580 in these institutions

00:28:39.620 goes all the way down

00:28:42.560 to the bottom

00:28:43.200 and the top.

00:28:45.000 I mean, it's pervasive.

00:28:47.420 That's how deep the rot is.

00:28:51.100 And you're not going to get,

00:28:52.720 you're not going to address the problem

00:28:54.080 by just sort of circling around

00:28:56.400 the perimeter of it.

00:28:59.840 You can't work around the edges.

00:29:01.480 You know, people have,

00:29:08.400 there's no faith in the FBI

00:29:10.660 as an institution.

00:29:12.120 That's the point.

00:29:13.120 And there shouldn't be.

00:29:14.940 The FBI is a corrupt institution.

00:29:21.360 And that's the thing

00:29:22.340 that Mike Pence doesn't seem to understand.

00:29:25.040 And a lot of other Republicans

00:29:26.120 don't understand.

00:29:28.020 But the Republicans

00:29:28.540 that don't understand this

00:29:29.620 are not going to have much of a future

00:29:30.980 in politics

00:29:31.560 because most conservatives

00:29:33.260 do understand this.

00:29:34.980 And we want to be represented

00:29:36.420 by Republicans

00:29:37.420 who understand it.

00:29:39.660 Take the corruption seriously.

00:29:42.480 All the talk we heard

00:29:43.780 about draining the swamp

00:29:44.880 and all of that.

00:29:46.140 Yeah, that's,

00:29:46.580 that's, we need that.

00:29:47.920 That's great,

00:29:48.680 but we need it to actually happen now.

00:29:52.140 And draining a swamp

00:29:53.440 is a drastic move.

00:29:56.300 But that's what's necessary.

00:29:58.840 Because these institutions

00:30:00.100 are corrupt to their core.

00:30:06.540 And that should be our concern,

00:30:08.200 much more than protecting

00:30:09.220 the feelings

00:30:09.920 of the rank-and-file FBI.

00:30:12.980 You know the other difference, too,

00:30:14.040 between the FBI

00:30:14.640 and, like, local law enforcement?

00:30:19.720 It's pretty clear

00:30:20.940 to any reasonable person

00:30:22.840 that we need local law enforcement.

00:30:24.740 Like, in a, in a, in a community,

00:30:27.020 you need to have local cops.

00:30:29.880 So that's, that's pretty clear.

00:30:31.360 And if there are problems

00:30:32.700 with the local police,

00:30:33.520 like there is down in Uvalde, Texas,

00:30:35.180 there are obviously serious,

00:30:36.360 there's serious corruption

00:30:37.160 and problems

00:30:37.600 with the local police there.

00:30:39.100 And that needs to be addressed

00:30:40.240 and taken seriously.

00:30:41.080 But what you can't do

00:30:41.800 is just get rid of the cops.

00:30:43.220 You can't do that.

00:30:43.900 It doesn't, you can't do it.

00:30:45.020 Because then anarchy ensues.

00:30:49.320 That's, you know,

00:30:50.320 that's, that's the,

00:30:51.100 that's law enforcement.

00:30:54.300 And if you don't have any mechanism

00:30:55.720 to enforce the law,

00:30:57.240 then the law might not exist.

00:30:59.020 And if you don't have law,

00:31:01.280 then you don't have,

00:31:01.960 you don't have a society.

00:31:04.520 Certainly not a civilized one.

00:31:08.360 So that, that's the,

00:31:09.580 the first and foremost reason

00:31:11.660 why defund the police

00:31:13.480 was always an insane idea

00:31:15.460 because you need the police.

00:31:17.180 And despite what you're told about

00:31:18.520 from, from the left,

00:31:19.540 you cannot replace cops

00:31:20.940 with social workers,

00:31:21.940 replace them with therapists.

00:31:25.560 What about the FBI though?

00:31:27.740 Do we need the FBI

00:31:29.260 at this point?

00:31:31.360 That at the very least

00:31:32.460 is an open question.

00:31:34.580 Okay.

00:31:35.160 The FBI

00:31:36.020 has to fundamentally justify

00:31:38.720 its own existence to us

00:31:39.980 to begin with.

00:31:41.160 There are so many

00:31:44.060 federal

00:31:44.720 law enforcement agencies.

00:31:47.480 There are so many

00:31:48.520 federal agencies

00:31:49.820 and then,

00:31:50.360 and then departments

00:31:51.380 within agencies

00:31:52.380 that have given themselves

00:31:54.280 the power

00:31:54.940 to enforce laws

00:31:56.140 to use deadly force.

00:31:57.560 I mean,

00:31:58.200 as we just reviewed,

00:31:59.360 even the IRS now

00:32:00.600 is a criminal investigations division.

00:32:03.640 They're sending

00:32:04.640 people out with guns.

00:32:06.360 So while

00:32:10.140 the necessity

00:32:10.860 of local law enforcement

00:32:11.940 is clear

00:32:12.700 to any thinking person,

00:32:15.100 when we look

00:32:15.740 at the federal government

00:32:16.680 and their law enforcement agencies

00:32:18.200 and how there are

00:32:19.080 just like dozens of them

00:32:20.460 overlapping each other,

00:32:22.280 I think now

00:32:22.760 we can look at that

00:32:23.260 and say,

00:32:23.520 well,

00:32:23.640 how many of these

00:32:24.080 do we actually need?

00:32:24.960 What are all you people doing?

00:32:27.120 Hey,

00:32:27.440 the criminal enforcement division,

00:32:29.220 the criminal investigation

00:32:29.840 division of the IRS,

00:32:30.920 what are you doing

00:32:31.720 that isn't already done

00:32:32.600 by these other federal agencies?

00:32:34.240 Why do we need you?

00:32:42.160 That's an open question.

00:32:43.140 That's a good question.

00:32:45.300 And it's very clear

00:32:46.180 that at least some of them

00:32:47.200 we don't need at all

00:32:47.980 and should just be abolished.

00:32:51.680 You know,

00:32:52.120 we don't need 75

00:32:53.040 different federal agencies

00:32:54.740 running around with guns

00:32:56.180 fighting the bad guys.

00:33:02.520 All right,

00:33:03.000 let's go to this.

00:33:04.540 Here's a story

00:33:05.000 from the Daily Mail.

00:33:05.980 It's from several days ago

00:33:06.880 that somehow

00:33:07.780 we haven't talked about yet

00:33:08.820 and I want to mention it

00:33:09.480 because of course

00:33:09.880 it's very relevant

00:33:10.420 to the news this week.

00:33:11.920 It says,

00:33:12.260 pediatricians across America

00:33:13.500 are at war

00:33:14.840 with their own

00:33:15.420 professional body

00:33:16.340 over controversial

00:33:17.240 puberty blocking drugs

00:33:18.400 routinely handed to teens

00:33:19.660 wanting to change gender.

00:33:21.800 The top child health experts

00:33:23.020 accused the American Academy of Pediatrics

00:33:25.420 of pushing the harmful drugs

00:33:26.960 on transgender-identifying youngsters

00:33:28.200 according to damning

00:33:29.500 leaked documents.

00:33:30.440 Disturbingly,

00:33:32.860 the documents also reveal

00:33:34.000 experts believe

00:33:34.960 that the APP

00:33:36.660 or that's actually the AAP

00:33:39.700 is deliberately silencing

00:33:41.240 internal criticism

00:33:42.060 by blocking moves

00:33:43.280 for a crucial policy review.

00:33:45.440 The papers leaked

00:33:46.720 by a whistleblower

00:33:47.700 expose how rank-and-file

00:33:49.100 AAP members

00:33:49.960 across the U.S.

00:33:51.160 are slamming

00:33:52.140 the Academy's

00:33:52.880 shoddy drugs-and-hormones-first

00:33:54.460 approach

00:33:54.900 to trans-identifying teens.

00:33:56.500 They insist

00:33:58.000 that many would benefit

00:33:59.720 from counseling

00:34:00.460 or therapy instead.

00:34:01.960 Oh, you think?

00:34:03.780 And urge the professional body

00:34:05.140 to follow a more cautious approach

00:34:06.620 currently being adopted

00:34:07.520 by similar bodies

00:34:08.420 in other countries.

00:34:09.940 Fast-tracking adolescents

00:34:10.920 into powerful drug cocktails

00:34:12.900 takes a huge toll

00:34:14.280 on young bodies

00:34:15.040 and can lead to

00:34:15.940 sterility

00:34:16.740 and osteoporosis

00:34:17.700 according to critics.

00:34:19.800 For many teams,

00:34:20.400 transitioning is celebrated

00:34:21.240 but others regret the treatment

00:34:22.280 and seek reversals.

00:34:23.620 The AAP, for its part,

00:34:26.720 says that its guidelines

00:34:27.580 to reinforce the gender

00:34:29.120 a youth selects

00:34:29.980 including through drugs,

00:34:30.940 cross-sex hormones,

00:34:31.620 and eventually surgery

00:34:32.380 are evidence-based

00:34:34.080 and that it's open

00:34:35.160 to collaborative conversations

00:34:36.960 on policy.

00:34:38.940 But angry AAP members

00:34:41.180 say the Academy

00:34:42.000 changed its rules

00:34:43.000 to block a member-drafted resolution

00:34:44.960 to launch a policy review.

00:34:48.960 And by the way,

00:34:49.840 just a side note here,

00:34:51.280 the AAP says

00:34:53.660 that its guidelines

00:34:54.440 are evidence-based.

00:34:56.220 That's completely false.

00:34:58.100 There's really no evidence

00:34:59.180 to support any of this stuff.

00:35:00.780 And that actually was in,

00:35:03.180 you know,

00:35:03.420 I kind of whittled down

00:35:04.420 the clip that we played

00:35:05.780 of Dr. Montano

00:35:06.780 that we played

00:35:07.140 at the start of the show.

00:35:09.540 That's, like I said,

00:35:10.240 it's a 20-minute interview

00:35:12.100 and it's worth going to YouTube

00:35:13.220 until it's taken down,

00:35:14.280 until they delete it.

00:35:14.900 It's probably already deleted.

00:35:15.760 But if you can watch

00:35:16.500 the whole thing,

00:35:16.860 you should do that.

00:35:17.940 Because there's another

00:35:18.820 interesting point

00:35:19.820 in that interview

00:35:20.300 when he's asked about

00:35:22.580 sort of like long-term studies

00:35:25.740 related to, you know,

00:35:29.780 giving kids

00:35:30.420 these kinds of drugs,

00:35:31.380 puberty blockers,

00:35:32.260 and then comparing that

00:35:33.700 to kids who have

00:35:35.120 gender dysphoria

00:35:36.000 but are not given the drugs.

00:35:38.200 And like long-term,

00:35:39.560 if you compare the two groups,

00:35:41.360 what do the studies say?

00:35:43.160 And he admits in the interview

00:35:44.580 that, well,

00:35:45.280 there aren't any studies.

00:35:46.700 We don't have any studies on that.

00:35:48.000 Which, of course,

00:35:49.840 we don't

00:35:50.140 because we've never been

00:35:50.900 doing this to kids before.

00:35:52.460 Certainly not on this scale

00:35:53.600 or anything close to this scale.

00:35:57.460 So, no,

00:35:58.020 there's no evidence.

00:35:59.200 There are no long-term studies

00:36:00.860 to validate or vindicate

00:36:03.060 or most of the things

00:36:04.840 that we're doing here

00:36:05.380 or any of them.

00:36:08.720 So, evidence-based

00:36:09.920 is a total lie.

00:36:12.760 Now, the reason why

00:36:13.780 the AAP,

00:36:14.540 the American Academy of Pediatrics,

00:36:15.820 has adopted this approach

00:36:17.980 and endorsed it.

00:36:20.700 The reason why

00:36:21.560 it's all politics,

00:36:22.680 it's all ideology

00:36:23.580 all the way down.

00:36:26.800 They are told by WPATH,

00:36:29.340 which is the big

00:36:30.320 transgender health association

00:36:31.920 in the world,

00:36:33.300 and WPATH just tells everyone

00:36:35.880 what the guidelines are

00:36:37.860 for dealing with trans kids,

00:36:39.360 and then all of the other

00:36:40.480 medical institutions

00:36:41.640 and organizations

00:36:42.380 dutifully follow suit

00:36:43.960 without questioning it,

00:36:45.200 without asking any questions

00:36:46.100 or anything.

00:36:47.680 And as we see here

00:36:48.400 from these whistleblowers,

00:36:49.380 if anyone within

00:36:50.080 the organizations

00:36:50.700 does ask questions

00:36:51.920 or raise concerns

00:36:53.220 or raise any red flags,

00:36:54.600 they're silenced.

00:36:57.200 As the Daily Mail says,

00:36:58.720 angry AAP members

00:36:59.960 say the Academy

00:37:00.660 changed its rules

00:37:01.580 to block a member-drafted

00:37:03.120 resolution

00:37:03.540 to launch a policy review.

00:37:05.520 It led to the review

00:37:06.300 being sidelined

00:37:07.580 at the Academy's

00:37:08.320 leadership conference,

00:37:09.600 which ended in Chicago

00:37:10.620 on Monday.

00:37:12.140 Instead, members

00:37:12.780 took the unusual step

00:37:13.700 of airing their concerns

00:37:14.760 in the comments section

00:37:15.760 for a separate resolution

00:37:16.940 in the AAP's

00:37:17.820 member-only website.

00:37:19.540 In the comments

00:37:20.140 leaked to DailyMail.com,

00:37:21.640 AAP members

00:37:22.400 said the Academy

00:37:23.440 was endorsing great harm,

00:37:25.920 that its care package

00:37:26.820 for trans-identified teens

00:37:27.940 was based on scant

00:37:29.060 and shoddy evidence,

00:37:30.760 and that doling out

00:37:31.840 drugs and hormones

00:37:32.540 was unsafe

00:37:33.520 and unsustainable.

00:37:36.260 One pediatrician wrote,

00:37:38.040 before promulgating

00:37:38.900 gender-affirming care

00:37:39.900 with all of its

00:37:40.440 ethical complications,

00:37:42.160 irreversible bodily changes,

00:37:44.100 sterility, etc.,

00:37:45.100 don't we want to be sure

00:37:46.540 that this is the best path?

00:37:49.080 Another member said

00:37:49.820 that there was no good

00:37:51.020 long-term outcome data

00:37:52.740 for those who undergo

00:37:53.600 the arduous physical process

00:37:54.840 of transitioning,

00:37:55.760 and pointed to the

00:37:56.940 37,000 members

00:37:58.020 of an online forum

00:37:58.800 for regretful detransitioners

00:38:00.360 as they are none.

00:38:01.160 Now,

00:38:04.120 it's good

00:38:05.780 that these

00:38:06.400 whistleblowers

00:38:11.380 are coming out

00:38:12.560 and criticizing,

00:38:14.840 but it's not nearly enough.

00:38:19.720 Okay,

00:38:20.140 to do it anonymously

00:38:21.260 is not nearly enough.

00:38:23.760 And I understand.

00:38:25.120 You know,

00:38:27.680 if you're a pediatrician

00:38:28.740 and you come out

00:38:29.440 against the AAP publicly

00:38:31.180 and you do so

00:38:32.360 on the trans stuff,

00:38:34.000 you know,

00:38:35.080 you're putting your career

00:38:35.660 on the line.

00:38:37.580 Career you've worked hard for,

00:38:40.000 spent a lot of time

00:38:40.840 in school,

00:38:41.440 spent a lot of money

00:38:42.060 on the student loans.

00:38:44.700 To put that on the line,

00:38:45.980 that takes a lot of courage.

00:38:48.160 There's no understating

00:38:49.440 the amount of courage

00:38:50.040 it takes to put

00:38:50.920 your entire career

00:38:51.520 on the line,

00:38:51.880 but that is what's required.

00:38:54.960 Okay,

00:38:55.220 so if you're a pediatrician

00:38:56.300 and I hear from pediatricians

00:38:57.500 all the time actually.

00:39:00.220 Again,

00:39:00.640 never wanting to go

00:39:01.220 on the record,

00:39:02.200 but they'll message me

00:39:03.340 privately and say,

00:39:04.200 hey,

00:39:04.320 I agree with everything

00:39:04.940 you say on this stuff.

00:39:06.380 Keep saying it.

00:39:08.880 So I know that there are

00:39:09.840 some listening to me

00:39:10.780 right now

00:39:11.240 and what I want to say

00:39:11.940 to you

00:39:12.300 is that it is not

00:39:14.260 good enough

00:39:14.880 to be anonymous.

00:39:16.720 You have a responsibility

00:39:18.020 to speak up publicly

00:39:19.640 and put your name on it.

00:39:21.880 And if you want to do that

00:39:26.180 and you want a platform,

00:39:27.300 if you're ready

00:39:28.040 and willing

00:39:28.680 to come out publicly

00:39:30.420 and speak out

00:39:31.020 against this stuff,

00:39:32.100 especially if you're

00:39:32.580 a member of the

00:39:33.180 American Academy of Pediatrics

00:39:35.300 and you're ready

00:39:37.440 to do the right thing

00:39:38.420 with your name on it,

00:39:40.160 then reach out to me.

00:39:43.620 I'll make sure

00:39:44.460 that your concerns are heard

00:39:45.500 because when you voice them

00:39:47.280 anonymously on message boards

00:39:48.820 and in comment sections

00:39:49.920 and you send private emails

00:39:52.040 to conservative podcasters,

00:39:54.220 that doesn't do anything.

00:39:58.800 I mean,

00:39:59.340 you're the first line of defense.

00:40:00.480 You're the people that we need

00:40:01.300 because I can sit here

00:40:04.960 all day and forever,

00:40:06.580 which I will,

00:40:07.560 speaking out against this stuff.

00:40:08.800 But what I'm always going

00:40:12.360 to run into

00:40:12.860 is the claim,

00:40:14.100 oh, you're not a doctor,

00:40:14.980 you're not an expert,

00:40:16.180 which of course is irrelevant.

00:40:19.140 You don't need to be a doctor

00:40:20.040 or an expert to know

00:40:21.080 that you shouldn't mutilate

00:40:22.320 and castrate children.

00:40:24.160 All you need is common sense

00:40:25.400 and a soul,

00:40:27.100 which is something

00:40:28.060 sorely lacking on the left,

00:40:29.920 which explains

00:40:31.300 how we got here.

00:40:32.060 But whether it should or not,

00:40:36.740 the expertise and all that,

00:40:38.560 it does matter to people.

00:40:41.880 So it would be a lot more powerful.

00:40:44.600 I mean,

00:40:44.800 there should be

00:40:45.560 press conferences

00:40:47.200 with whole groups

00:40:49.140 of pediatricians

00:40:50.140 speaking out against this,

00:40:52.000 answering questions,

00:40:53.680 explaining their position,

00:40:55.540 talking about what's going on

00:40:56.780 behind the scenes.

00:40:57.600 And until that happens,

00:41:05.520 this isn't going to get any better.

00:41:09.320 All right.

00:41:09.920 One other thing I got to,

00:41:11.140 this is just

00:41:11.660 really

00:41:13.900 sort of on a health note.

00:41:16.620 This is from CNN.

00:41:17.480 It says,

00:41:17.760 early in the pandemic,

00:41:18.640 people couldn't get enough pizza.

00:41:20.300 Now, not so much.

00:41:22.080 Papa John's sales are still up,

00:41:23.500 but growth is slowing.

00:41:24.780 In the second quarter,

00:41:25.440 sales at its North American restaurants

00:41:27.220 open at least a year

00:41:28.520 grew just under 1%.

00:41:30.420 And what that has led to

00:41:33.080 at Papa John's

00:41:34.520 is that they're getting

00:41:36.340 a little bit more creative,

00:41:38.000 trying to figure out

00:41:38.400 how to get people

00:41:38.780 to buy pizza again.

00:41:40.400 So to get people excited

00:41:41.760 about pizza again,

00:41:42.580 Papa John's is offering

00:41:43.380 a new spin on the classic

00:41:44.740 with Papa bowls

00:41:46.180 that are all topping,

00:41:48.560 no crust.

00:41:49.940 The Papa bowl

00:41:50.640 comes in three varieties.

00:41:51.700 Maybe we'll get a picture up

00:41:52.440 on the screen to show you

00:41:53.220 so you can see

00:41:54.120 these monstrosities.

00:41:55.560 Garden veggie,

00:41:56.420 chicken alfredo,

00:41:57.520 and Italian meats trio.

00:41:59.220 And so what they're selling now,

00:42:00.700 to summarize,

00:42:01.980 it's just,

00:42:03.000 they figured,

00:42:03.480 like,

00:42:03.640 no one wants to buy their pizza.

00:42:05.040 And so they say,

00:42:05.540 oh, you don't want our pizza.

00:42:06.520 We'll just put all of our toppings

00:42:07.780 in a bowl

00:42:08.560 and slather some sauce on it.

00:42:10.580 And will you guys eat that?

00:42:13.040 Will you shovel this

00:42:13.740 into your mouths?

00:42:15.700 The only reason I mention this story,

00:42:16.820 again,

00:42:16.960 it's really a public health warning.

00:42:18.620 Okay,

00:42:18.840 this is like a PSA.

00:42:20.780 Do not eat

00:42:21.840 a dish

00:42:23.060 of pizza toppings

00:42:24.040 from a place like Papa John's.

00:42:25.720 Just don't do it.

00:42:26.660 Trust me.

00:42:27.360 I've worked at these kinds

00:42:28.440 of pizza places.

00:42:29.320 I've never worked at Papa John's

00:42:30.360 specifically,

00:42:30.960 but I've worked at the pizza chain places.

00:42:32.720 They're all basically the same.

00:42:34.280 And I can tell you

00:42:35.740 that these toppings,

00:42:38.180 they're not even real food.

00:42:39.400 They're made of essentially styrofoam.

00:42:41.440 They come in these big plastic bags.

00:42:43.960 And they sit out

00:42:45.280 at room temperature

00:42:46.360 for like days at a time.

00:42:49.240 And if they drop on the ground,

00:42:50.720 they're swept up in a dustbin

00:42:52.120 and just like dumped

00:42:53.080 right back into the container.

00:42:54.600 I've seen it happen.

00:42:57.080 And now they want to put it all

00:42:58.320 in a bowl

00:42:58.740 and have you shoveled

00:42:59.760 into your mouth.

00:43:00.200 Don't do it.

00:43:03.100 Is it just me also,

00:43:04.280 by the way,

00:43:04.760 and maybe this is my imagination,

00:43:06.340 but is pizza getting worse?

00:43:08.840 Am I losing my taste for it

00:43:10.120 or is it getting worse?

00:43:10.720 Because it seems like

00:43:11.280 all these chain places,

00:43:12.920 Domino's and Papa John's

00:43:13.860 in particular,

00:43:14.740 the quality of the pizza.

00:43:17.760 It wasn't great back

00:43:18.760 when I worked at these places,

00:43:19.580 but it seems to be getting worse.

00:43:21.320 That's a crisis

00:43:21.980 we should be looking into.

00:43:24.260 Let's get to our comment section.

00:43:25.880 If you're a man,

00:43:27.000 it's required that you grow a bit.

00:43:29.060 Hey, we're the sweet baby gang.

00:43:36.020 Nobody likes to spend money

00:43:37.440 on their cars.

00:43:38.960 You know, you buy it,

00:43:39.800 you drive it,

00:43:40.320 you want it to run forever,

00:43:41.460 maintenance free.

00:43:42.160 Unfortunately,

00:43:42.860 that's just not the way things work.

00:43:44.880 Snap out of it,

00:43:45.780 get back into reality.

00:43:46.940 Cars require upkeep, okay?

00:43:48.480 The same way your house requires upkeep.

00:43:50.620 The good news

00:43:51.040 is that you can maintain your car for less

00:43:53.100 when you shop for auto parts

00:43:54.580 at rockauto.com.

00:43:56.040 Chain stores have different price tiers

00:43:57.680 for professional mechanics

00:43:58.560 and do-it-yourselfers,

00:43:59.840 but rockauto.com's prices

00:44:01.360 are the same for everybody,

00:44:02.820 and they're also reliably low for everybody.

00:44:04.980 That's the best part.

00:44:06.100 Rockauto.com has been in the auto parts business

00:44:08.180 for 20 years,

00:44:09.160 family-owned their goals

00:44:10.540 to make auto parts available

00:44:11.880 and affordable

00:44:12.420 to keep you safe on the road.

00:44:14.680 They not only have the auto parts you need,

00:44:16.600 but they will give you a selection

00:44:17.780 of trusted brands to choose from.

00:44:20.160 The rockauto.com catalog

00:44:21.060 is remarkably easy to navigate.

00:44:24.780 and choose the brand specifications

00:44:26.240 and prices you prefer.

00:44:27.780 Amazing selection,

00:44:28.780 reliably low prices,

00:44:29.780 all the parts you'll ever need.

00:44:31.620 Rockauto.com.

00:44:32.440 Go to rockauto.com right now

00:44:33.720 and get brakes,

00:44:34.380 shocks, carpets,

00:44:35.140 wipers,

00:44:35.480 headlights,

00:44:35.840 everything you need

00:44:36.340 at rockauto.com

00:44:37.800 and be sure to write Walsh

00:44:38.820 in their how-did-you-hear-about-us box

00:44:39.960 so they know that I sent you.

00:44:43.040 NKFD says,

00:44:43.860 Matt,

00:44:44.160 gotta make your sweet baby gang

00:44:45.820 a stochastic terrorist T-shirt.

00:44:48.240 You're right.

00:44:48.620 I don't know how we didn't think of that.

00:44:49.600 We do need...

00:44:51.100 I think we need that.

00:44:52.440 We gotta get that on there.

00:44:54.000 Or at least,

00:44:54.480 maybe that's a badge.

00:44:56.700 We could put that in a patch program

00:44:57.820 when you become a terrorist.

00:44:59.340 Meat Lover says,

00:45:05.080 I wish the DW had someone

00:45:06.380 that was more knowledgeable on guns

00:45:08.060 and focused more on them

00:45:09.500 since there are things

00:45:10.400 that go on in the gun world

00:45:11.600 that isn't covered by the DW

00:45:13.420 like a lot of the stupid things

00:45:15.620 that the ATF does.

00:45:18.340 I think we cover the gun issues

00:45:19.900 pretty well.

00:45:23.520 But you're right.

00:45:24.380 It is an important issue.

00:45:25.960 There are...

00:45:26.960 I think among conservatives,

00:45:32.820 it's like we can't focus

00:45:34.140 on every issue.

00:45:37.600 You can't give special focus

00:45:38.860 to every issue.

00:45:40.360 And different conservatives

00:45:41.540 have different things

00:45:42.280 that they're especially focused on.

00:45:43.420 And for me,

00:45:43.820 it's always been culture, family.

00:45:46.640 Those are the issues

00:45:47.460 that I care the most about,

00:45:48.780 which isn't to say

00:45:49.360 that the other issues don't matter.

00:45:51.400 I just think that culture issues

00:45:53.340 are foundational.

00:45:56.960 Don't Be Woke says,

00:46:00.280 Matt hasn't dressed

00:46:01.040 like a lumberjack in a while.

00:46:02.640 Does his new office

00:46:03.660 have a dress code?

00:46:06.300 No, I've just been told.

00:46:08.340 In fact, the way it's been phrased to me

00:46:09.380 is I need to start dressing

00:46:10.140 like an adult.

00:46:12.740 And so this is my version of that.

00:46:16.840 I don't know how long

00:46:17.620 it's going to last.

00:46:18.740 I said I'd try it out.

00:46:20.680 I'll try classing it up

00:46:21.780 a little bit for a little while

00:46:22.820 and we'll see how long it lasts.

00:46:23.800 But I'm not making any promises.

00:46:27.460 Suicide Production says,

00:46:28.560 I initially thought stochastic

00:46:29.960 was a blending of the words

00:46:31.540 stoic and sarcastic,

00:46:33.380 which would exactly define Matt Walsh.

00:46:35.320 Well, that kind of terrorist I am.

00:46:37.220 That I would admit.

00:46:38.460 Mark says,

00:46:39.520 Hi, Matt.

00:46:40.160 You often talk about

00:46:41.100 fighting fire with fire

00:46:42.440 and I respect that.

00:46:43.960 My question is,

00:46:44.760 where do you draw the line

00:46:45.740 with the left?

00:46:46.420 Will you always give them

00:46:47.360 a dose of their own medicine?

00:46:48.700 Is there any tactic

00:46:49.540 the left uses

00:46:50.420 that you will not use?

00:46:52.600 I love this question

00:46:53.600 and I took some time

00:46:54.600 to think about it.

00:46:55.080 It is a good question.

00:46:55.640 And I do believe in general

00:46:58.760 that we shouldn't

00:47:00.360 be squeamish

00:47:02.800 and kind of handicap ourselves

00:47:04.520 by refusing

00:47:06.940 to fight fire with fire

00:47:08.520 or use their own tactics

00:47:09.620 against them.

00:47:12.060 But does that apply

00:47:13.540 across the board?

00:47:14.340 Is there anything in general

00:47:16.000 that they will do

00:47:17.280 against their opposition

00:47:19.660 that I would not do

00:47:21.060 against them?

00:47:21.720 And actually,

00:47:23.160 the answer is yes.

00:47:24.400 There's one thing.

00:47:26.040 There is one tactic

00:47:27.620 that the left uses

00:47:29.640 all the time

00:47:31.840 that I will not use.

00:47:34.680 Even if it means I'm,

00:47:35.900 you know,

00:47:36.180 tying one hand

00:47:36.820 behind my back

00:47:37.340 essentially in the fight.

00:47:38.280 And that is,

00:47:38.800 I won't lie.

00:47:40.120 That's the one thing

00:47:40.820 I won't do.

00:47:41.260 I will aggressively

00:47:46.100 confront them

00:47:47.920 on any subject.

00:47:49.840 And I'm not going

00:47:50.560 to be squeamish about it,

00:47:51.540 but I'm not going

00:47:52.020 to just make things up.

00:47:53.080 I'm not going to lie.

00:47:54.880 Like they do.

00:47:56.580 Like they do against me,

00:47:57.700 against,

00:47:57.940 like they do against

00:47:58.740 all of their enemies.

00:48:01.500 And the reason I won't lie

00:48:02.680 is that,

00:48:03.020 well,

00:48:03.120 first of all,

00:48:03.720 it's just,

00:48:04.100 it's not ultimately,

00:48:05.220 I don't think it's

00:48:05.680 a good strategy.

00:48:06.380 In putting the ethical

00:48:09.040 and moral question

00:48:09.980 aside for a moment,

00:48:10.860 it's just,

00:48:11.140 it's not a good strategy.

00:48:12.420 You weaken your case

00:48:13.480 when you lie.

00:48:14.920 It's also not necessary.

00:48:16.260 Like I don't need

00:48:16.720 to tell lies about them.

00:48:17.920 All I need to do

00:48:18.920 is say what they're

00:48:19.720 actually doing

00:48:20.460 and point out

00:48:22.540 what they're actually saying.

00:48:26.140 But,

00:48:26.720 but also it is

00:48:28.120 objectively immoral.

00:48:32.120 And it lessens you,

00:48:34.160 you know,

00:48:34.740 as a person.

00:48:36.380 When you resort

00:48:37.080 to defamation,

00:48:38.620 slander,

00:48:39.120 and all those kinds of things.

00:48:41.500 So,

00:48:42.000 while they're doing that to me,

00:48:43.120 especially this week,

00:48:44.700 as I've talked about

00:48:45.640 on this show,

00:48:46.240 like it's,

00:48:46.600 I've,

00:48:47.060 of course they've always

00:48:47.960 done this,

00:48:48.520 but this week in particular,

00:48:50.220 they've gone,

00:48:51.420 it's gone into hyperdrive.

00:48:53.900 They're fabricating

00:48:55.100 screenshots

00:48:55.980 of things I never said.

00:48:57.700 They're photoshopping.

00:48:58.640 They're doing all of this.

00:49:01.340 And,

00:49:01.820 um,

00:49:02.680 that I will not do in return.

00:49:05.380 But again,

00:49:06.040 no need to,

00:49:06.900 either.

00:49:09.060 You know,

00:49:09.720 I don't need to invent

00:49:11.820 horrifying things

00:49:12.640 that they've said

00:49:13.200 or supported.

00:49:15.400 The truth is all

00:49:16.340 I really need.

00:49:17.840 You know,

00:49:18.040 whenever I get into a spat

00:49:19.000 with somebody on Twitter

00:49:19.820 over something

00:49:20.340 that I supposedly tweeted,

00:49:21.560 it's usually because

00:49:22.200 they didn't actually

00:49:22.920 read what I wrote.

00:49:23.880 Reading is a lost art

00:49:25.040 on Twitter,

00:49:26.320 but that's not the case

00:49:27.280 on Daily Wire Plus.

00:49:28.380 Ben Shapiro's book club

00:49:46.700 and join Ben tonight

00:49:48.480 at 8 p.m. Eastern.

00:49:49.960 Now let's get to

00:49:50.420 our daily cancellation.

00:49:51.080 A few months

00:49:56.680 after the Washington Post

00:49:58.320 featured an editorial

00:49:59.480 written by a George Washington

00:50:00.940 University student

00:50:01.900 urging that the university

00:50:03.100 be renamed,

00:50:04.440 the editorial board

00:50:05.200 for the University of Virginia

00:50:06.080 has now taken up

00:50:07.000 a similar cause

00:50:07.800 at their own school.

00:50:08.820 The editors of the

00:50:09.540 student newspaper,

00:50:10.660 which is called

00:50:11.020 the Cavalier Daily,

00:50:12.200 published an op-ed this week

00:50:13.360 calling for UVA

00:50:14.600 to do more

00:50:15.560 in the name of

00:50:16.460 inclusivity and equity.

00:50:18.340 Specifically,

00:50:19.020 they want the memory

00:50:19.700 of Thomas Jefferson,

00:50:20.500 the school's founder,

00:50:21.980 to be finally

00:50:22.680 and totally erased

00:50:24.100 once and for all.

00:50:25.200 All mentions of him

00:50:26.180 and references to him

00:50:26.940 must be destroyed,

00:50:28.620 they insist.

00:50:29.740 Reading now from the article,

00:50:30.640 they say,

00:50:31.320 we reject how the university's

00:50:32.800 physical environment,

00:50:33.860 one that glorifies

00:50:34.740 racist slaveholders

00:50:36.180 and eugenicists

00:50:37.000 with statues and buildings

00:50:38.360 named in their honor,

00:50:39.360 upholds an enduring culture

00:50:40.760 of white supremacy.

00:50:42.160 There's a reason why

00:50:43.040 Charlottesville's

00:50:43.880 local Ku Klux Klan chapter

00:50:45.840 hosted its inauguration ceremony

00:50:47.360 at Jefferson's

00:50:48.440 Monticello tomb.

00:50:49.520 There's a reason why

00:50:50.820 white supremacists

00:50:51.600 gathered with tortures

00:50:52.500 around Jefferson's statue

00:50:53.560 on the north side

00:50:54.140 of the rotunda.

00:50:55.020 There's a reason why

00:50:55.860 they felt comfortable

00:50:56.520 marching through grounds.

00:50:58.320 Our physical environment,

00:50:59.440 from statues to buildings,

00:51:01.220 building named

00:51:02.380 to Jefferson's

00:51:03.540 overwhelming presence,

00:51:05.000 exalts people

00:51:05.720 who held the same beliefs

00:51:07.080 as the repugnant

00:51:07.840 white supremacists

00:51:08.620 in the attendance

00:51:09.280 at the Unite the Right

00:51:10.640 rally.

00:51:11.920 These buildings

00:51:12.680 must be renamed

00:51:13.580 and the memorials

00:51:14.860 must be removed.

00:51:15.720 But, you know,

00:51:17.080 as always,

00:51:17.840 this is not enough

00:51:19.520 because nothing ever is.

00:51:21.140 The editors continue

00:51:22.240 making demands

00:51:22.980 and here's what

00:51:23.380 they say next.

00:51:24.600 It's our belief

00:51:25.220 that future education

00:51:26.640 about Charlottesville

00:51:27.500 and university history

00:51:28.360 should be two things,

00:51:30.200 mandatory

00:51:30.600 and continuous.

00:51:32.800 All students

00:51:33.520 should be required

00:51:34.300 to learn about Charlottesville

00:51:35.420 and the university's

00:51:36.500 racist roots

00:51:37.320 and more recent history,

00:51:38.800 including the

00:51:39.240 Unite the Right rally.

00:51:40.920 Educating students

00:51:41.580 on these topics

00:51:42.140 should continue

00:51:42.780 over the course

00:51:43.360 of their four years

00:51:44.140 of the university.

00:51:45.160 Historically,

00:51:46.080 the university

00:51:46.500 has contributed

00:51:47.080 to displacement,

00:51:48.100 erasure,

00:51:48.600 and discrimination

00:51:49.060 of Charlottesville communities,

00:51:50.280 especially its black residents.

00:51:51.900 Individual students

00:51:52.700 and alumni

00:51:53.260 replicate this harm too.

00:51:55.580 Jason Kessler

00:51:56.300 and Richard Spencer,

00:51:57.180 white supremacists

00:51:57.880 and organizers

00:51:58.380 of the deadly

00:51:58.960 Unite the Right rally

00:51:59.920 are both alumni.

00:52:01.740 The university

00:52:02.140 also educated

00:52:02.820 Paul McIntyre,

00:52:03.900 the namesake

00:52:04.460 of the McIntyre

00:52:05.220 School of Commerce,

00:52:06.380 McIntyre Department of Art,

00:52:07.720 and McIntyre Amphitheater,

00:52:08.980 who funded the construction

00:52:09.960 of the Robert E. Lee

00:52:10.840 and Thomas Stonewall

00:52:11.860 Jackson statues.

00:52:13.180 And of course,

00:52:13.580 these two statues

00:52:14.280 were the same

00:52:14.980 whose pending removal

00:52:15.820 played a significant role

00:52:16.860 in inciting

00:52:17.320 the Unite the Right rally itself.

00:52:19.100 We cannot ignore

00:52:19.780 the reality

00:52:20.360 that the university

00:52:21.420 has always played

00:52:22.260 a significant role

00:52:23.040 in the lives

00:52:23.940 of Charlottesville residents.

00:52:26.420 Now,

00:52:27.020 we learned something

00:52:27.600 important here

00:52:28.100 if we hadn't learned it already.

00:52:29.680 The left is not,

00:52:31.960 as they're often accused,

00:52:33.860 setting out

00:52:34.460 to simply erase history.

00:52:36.660 Now,

00:52:36.820 if you're not paying

00:52:37.340 close enough attention,

00:52:39.400 if you're only ever reading

00:52:40.260 the first paragraph

00:52:41.100 but not going on

00:52:42.040 to the second,

00:52:43.200 you may come to

00:52:44.320 the erroneous conclusion

00:52:45.500 that they want to

00:52:46.300 wipe away all traces

00:52:47.740 of our history

00:52:48.440 and just kind of live

00:52:49.880 as though the world

00:52:50.640 came into being

00:52:51.520 last Wednesday.

00:52:52.820 It may seem,

00:52:53.720 on first cursory glance,

00:52:55.060 that they seek to

00:52:56.060 live in some sort

00:52:57.020 of time warp,

00:52:57.980 in some kind of void,

00:52:59.660 where there is no past,

00:53:00.960 no future,

00:53:01.940 just an eternal now.

00:53:03.980 If that's all

00:53:05.040 they were trying to do,

00:53:06.220 it would be bad enough.

00:53:08.160 Because human societies

00:53:09.340 throughout history

00:53:09.980 have always,

00:53:10.860 until ours,

00:53:12.240 cherished their connection

00:53:13.420 to the past.

00:53:14.900 In ancient cultures,

00:53:15.860 this often took the form

00:53:17.480 of actual ancestor worship.

00:53:20.360 Far from trying

00:53:21.000 to erase their ancestors,

00:53:22.580 they would venerate

00:53:23.520 their ancestors

00:53:24.320 as deities.

00:53:26.500 Now,

00:53:26.700 this was a primitive approach

00:53:28.020 based on superstition,

00:53:29.240 not a system that I would

00:53:30.120 advocate a return to,

00:53:31.840 but it was at least

00:53:32.980 grounded in the innate

00:53:34.220 human understanding

00:53:35.360 that our past

00:53:36.940 is important

00:53:37.560 and our ancestors

00:53:39.500 have much to teach us

00:53:40.800 if only we are

00:53:41.480 humble enough to listen.

00:53:43.800 The ancestor worshipers

00:53:45.320 had more wisdom,

00:53:46.480 at least,

00:53:47.380 than the pretentious

00:53:48.280 pampered college students

00:53:49.460 who,

00:53:50.180 rather than making deities

00:53:51.300 of their ancestors,

00:53:52.360 instead make demons

00:53:53.320 of them.

00:53:54.720 And that's the important point.

00:53:57.140 You know,

00:53:57.360 that they're not actually

00:53:58.460 erasing the past.

00:54:00.400 Or at least,

00:54:01.140 they're not merely erasing it.

00:54:02.640 They are rather

00:54:03.440 replacing it.

00:54:05.360 Yes,

00:54:05.960 they want all mention

00:54:06.840 of Thomas Jefferson,

00:54:07.740 the man who founded

00:54:08.440 the institution,

00:54:09.300 that they're paying

00:54:09.820 thousands of dollars

00:54:10.620 to attend.

00:54:11.500 They want all that

00:54:12.180 removed from view.

00:54:13.880 Speaking of the ancient past,

00:54:15.360 these spoiled,

00:54:16.120 worthless brats

00:54:16.940 see themselves as emperors

00:54:18.360 or Egyptian pharaohs,

00:54:19.620 kind of waving their hands

00:54:21.020 and demanding that

00:54:21.700 their physical environment

00:54:22.560 be rearranged

00:54:23.880 to their liking.

00:54:25.220 Even if it means

00:54:26.080 demolishing monuments

00:54:27.080 and statues

00:54:27.600 that have stood since

00:54:28.680 long before they were born.

00:54:30.800 But in the void

00:54:31.780 that they create,

00:54:33.060 they install something else.

00:54:35.420 They want a new story

00:54:36.720 of our history

00:54:37.440 to be told.

00:54:38.440 And they want that story

00:54:39.800 to be one of shame

00:54:40.920 and guilt.

00:54:42.580 They don't want us

00:54:43.420 to forget our ancestors,

00:54:44.720 far from it.

00:54:45.480 They want us to revile them,

00:54:46.800 hate them,

00:54:47.380 dwell on their shortcomings,

00:54:48.760 whether real or imagined.

00:54:50.900 They want to pay

00:54:51.760 tens of thousands

00:54:52.540 of dollars

00:54:52.960 to the University of Virginia

00:54:53.840 only so that they can

00:54:55.340 spend four years

00:54:56.300 learning how awful

00:54:57.920 the University of Virginia

00:54:59.280 is and what an evil

00:55:00.420 scoundrel was

00:55:01.260 the man who founded it.

00:55:02.160 They want the story

00:55:04.300 of Jefferson's

00:55:04.960 myriad achievements,

00:55:06.040 his enduring

00:55:06.660 and positive contributions

00:55:07.860 to our nation

00:55:08.900 and to human civilization,

00:55:10.020 his greatness.

00:55:10.940 They want all that

00:55:11.540 to be silenced.

00:55:13.300 They want all those pages

00:55:14.400 ripped out of the book.

00:55:16.680 But they want his sins

00:55:17.820 to remain

00:55:18.300 because that's all

00:55:20.060 they want to focus on

00:55:21.100 or learn about.

00:55:23.180 That's the only reason

00:55:24.020 they want Jefferson remembered

00:55:24.980 or indeed anyone else

00:55:26.860 in history remembered.

00:55:27.520 Why?

00:55:30.420 Well,

00:55:31.640 partially,

00:55:32.340 you know,

00:55:32.660 it's just virtue signaling.

00:55:34.900 Partially,

00:55:35.500 they're just abiding

00:55:36.460 by the demands

00:55:37.240 of their ideology

00:55:38.080 without thinking

00:55:38.640 much about it.

00:55:40.220 They've been indoctrinated

00:55:41.720 with a simple equation

00:55:42.940 which is

00:55:43.480 old white guy

00:55:44.580 equals evil

00:55:45.500 and they're merely

00:55:47.120 applying that formula here.

00:55:49.500 These are extremely

00:55:50.580 shallow

00:55:51.220 and stupid people

00:55:52.480 and their stupidity

00:55:53.860 and shallowness

00:55:54.560 are factors

00:55:55.160 that cannot be overlooked

00:55:56.360 when analyzing their behavior.

00:55:58.240 Because whatever else

00:55:59.060 you might say

00:55:59.860 about somebody

00:56:00.540 who can't appreciate

00:56:01.800 the greatness

00:56:02.420 of a man like

00:56:03.120 Thomas Jefferson,

00:56:03.980 you must also say

00:56:05.320 that such a person

00:56:06.400 is incredibly dumb.

00:56:08.980 And the fact

00:56:09.580 that our nation

00:56:10.080 is giving birth

00:56:10.840 to so many

00:56:11.480 of these drooling dimwits

00:56:12.860 is a matter

00:56:13.820 of grave significance.

00:56:16.460 But,

00:56:17.080 it's not just

00:56:17.780 stupidity driving this.

00:56:20.000 These people

00:56:20.840 prowling around

00:56:21.900 casually calling

00:56:22.920 for the removal

00:56:23.540 of monuments,

00:56:24.560 the renaming

00:56:25.120 of buildings,

00:56:25.880 etc.

00:56:26.360 they're not only

00:56:27.580 brain-dead simpletons,

00:56:28.960 they're also

00:56:29.700 insecure narcissists.

00:56:31.760 And if I were

00:56:32.380 to attempt

00:56:32.720 to psychologically

00:56:33.600 profile these people,

00:56:34.880 I would say

00:56:35.280 that aside

00:56:35.680 from their

00:56:36.020 neurological deficits,

00:56:37.540 which are significant,

00:56:39.100 and even aside

00:56:39.700 from their

00:56:40.000 ideological commitments,

00:56:41.440 the number one

00:56:42.100 factor driving

00:56:42.820 their war

00:56:43.440 on our history,

00:56:44.600 I think,

00:56:46.000 is their own

00:56:46.600 feeling of inadequacy

00:56:48.120 and mediocrity.

00:56:51.200 Whatever else

00:56:52.000 they achieve

00:56:52.540 by writing off

00:56:53.540 the great men

00:56:54.120 and women of history

00:56:54.820 as nothing

00:56:55.180 but evil scumbags,

00:56:56.100 they principally

00:56:57.240 succeed in making

00:56:58.180 themselves feel

00:56:59.780 better about

00:57:00.820 themselves.

00:57:02.640 And wherever

00:57:03.520 the left is concerned,

00:57:04.520 what we always have

00:57:05.080 to understand is

00:57:05.740 whatever they are

00:57:06.420 doing,

00:57:08.120 always,

00:57:08.880 100% of the time,

00:57:10.500 the primary motivation

00:57:11.720 is because it makes

00:57:12.740 them feel better

00:57:13.480 about themselves.

00:57:14.120 They never do

00:57:15.200 anything or say

00:57:16.680 anything if it

00:57:17.680 doesn't make them

00:57:18.260 feel better about

00:57:18.840 themselves.

00:57:19.300 That is the number

00:57:20.300 one motivation

00:57:20.920 always,

00:57:22.620 always.

00:57:23.020 And in this case,

00:57:25.200 it's a clever trick

00:57:25.940 in some ways.

00:57:27.740 Under normal

00:57:28.420 circumstances,

00:57:29.100 you know,

00:57:29.240 a person determined

00:57:29.980 to be greater

00:57:30.700 than Thomas Jefferson

00:57:31.600 or George Washington

00:57:32.320 would have their

00:57:33.140 work cut out for them.

00:57:34.080 It would be very

00:57:34.860 difficult to climb

00:57:36.100 to higher heights

00:57:37.120 than the summit

00:57:38.340 that those men

00:57:39.000 reached.

00:57:40.740 Unless, of course,

00:57:41.580 you cut them down.

00:57:43.760 In which case,

00:57:44.560 you can stand

00:57:45.000 taller than them

00:57:45.760 simply by standing

00:57:46.500 in place.

00:57:46.900 They have all

00:57:49.100 at once

00:57:49.480 elevated themselves,

00:57:51.720 made themselves

00:57:52.300 greater,

00:57:52.900 in their own

00:57:53.240 minds anyway,

00:57:54.300 by denigrating

00:57:55.240 and desecrating

00:57:55.920 everyone who

00:57:56.500 came before them.

00:57:58.080 They achieve

00:57:58.900 for themselves

00:57:59.500 a totally

00:58:00.220 unearned sense

00:58:01.280 of superiority

00:58:01.840 and even

00:58:02.780 accomplishment

00:58:03.460 by erasing

00:58:05.100 the accomplishments

00:58:05.740 of men

00:58:06.340 far greater

00:58:06.880 than themselves.

00:58:08.340 It is,

00:58:09.280 in C.S.

00:58:09.660 Lewis's phrase,

00:58:10.460 chronological

00:58:11.100 snobbery,

00:58:11.780 but in the extreme.

00:58:13.780 They believe

00:58:14.160 themselves to be

00:58:14.780 better than

00:58:15.400 all who came

00:58:15.920 before them

00:58:16.320 simply because

00:58:17.140 they're living

00:58:18.020 today as

00:58:19.400 opposed to

00:58:19.780 having lived

00:58:20.280 in the past.

00:58:22.400 Self-delusion

00:58:23.320 and narcissism.

00:58:25.100 Those are the

00:58:25.740 things you always

00:58:26.200 find buried

00:58:26.820 underneath,

00:58:28.080 wherever these

00:58:28.640 people are

00:58:29.380 concerned,

00:58:30.260 which is why

00:58:30.900 they are today

00:58:31.560 canceled.

00:58:34.020 And that'll do it

00:58:34.620 for this portion

00:58:35.200 of the show.

00:58:35.980 We head over

00:58:36.380 to our

00:58:36.640 members-only

00:58:37.160 section and

00:58:38.400 we'll see you

00:58:38.800 over there and

00:58:39.400 if not,

00:58:40.320 we'll see you

00:58:40.660 tomorrow.

00:58:40.980 Godspeed.

00:58:46.320 Godspeed.

00:58:48.000 Godspeed.

00:58:48.320 Godspeed.

00:58:48.560 Godspeed.

00:58:49.400 Godspeed.

00:58:50.700 Godspeed.

00:58:51.520 Godspeed.

00:58:53.020 Godspeed.

00:58:53.320 Godspeed.

00:58:53.560 God fever.

00:58:53.880 Godspeed.

00:58:57.300 Godspeed.

00:59:03.740 Godspeed.

00:59:08.440 Godspeed.

00:59:08.960 Godspeed.

00:59:09.540 Godspeed.
