The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1016 - Innocent Victims Sacrificed On The Altar Of ‘Criminal Justice Reform’

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, recent tragedies both here and in Canada reveal the utter insanity

00:00:04.760 of left-wing so-called criminal justice reform policies. Also, the White House press secretary

00:00:09.940 has publicly called out for her own past comments questioning the integrity of our elections. How

00:00:14.940 dare she? A gender-affirming doctor so-called admits that kids who are put on puberty blockers

00:00:20.380 will never have proper sexual function as adults. Never. The media says that if you don't like the

00:00:25.900 new Lord of the Rings series, it's because you are, of course, racist. And Jennifer Lawrence is worth

00:00:30.660 $160 million, lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills. But as she explained in an interview,

00:00:36.160 that doesn't mean she isn't oppressed. All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:48.540 You know, some states now have laws that say as early as the 2030 model year, new vehicles will

00:00:54.040 have to be electric in order to be registered. Cars with internal combustion engines will only

00:00:58.540 be able to get license plates if they were built before the end of the 2020s, which means that

00:01:03.100 people are going to keep repairing and driving their old cars for generations. It also means

00:02:08.660 At age 14, Miles Sanderson of the Canadian province of Saskatchewan started doing cocaine. And as the

00:02:16.980 parole board would later put it, his criminal offending began at about that time and continued

00:02:22.340 with, quote, no significant breaks for nearly two decades. As an adult, Sanderson would go on to rack

00:02:28.300 up 59 criminal convictions. Many of these convictions were for violent crimes, like in 2017 when he burst

00:02:34.540 into his ex-girlfriend's home, making threats and forcing the children and his ex-girlfriend to flee

00:02:40.800 to an upstairs bathroom while he beat on the door and put holes in it. And then he went outside

00:02:45.300 and threw a cement block through a windshield. About six months later, he got drunk and stabbed two guys

00:02:51.760 and then beat another one unconscious and left him in a ditch. A couple of days later, he made threats

00:02:57.120 against an employee at a store and said that he would murder the guy and burn down his parents' house.

00:03:03.160 Two months after that, he got into a violent standoff with police, assaulting one of the cops by punching

00:03:07.900 and kicking him in the head, even after he'd been detained and cuffed. These are just a few of the crimes

00:03:15.300 over 50 other convictions for crimes ranging from assault, to assault with a weapon, to robbery,

00:03:20.760 and everything in between. Eventually, he wound up in prison, where he spent time in the prison's,

00:03:26.280 quote, healing lodge, and was quickly granted parole in the summer of 2021. Immediately, he violated

00:03:32.640 the terms of his parole, and after only four months on the outside, found himself back behind bars.

00:03:37.860 In February of this year, he appeared before the parole board again, and he asked them to reverse

00:03:43.600 their decision to put him back in prison. Sanderson, along with already having violated

00:03:49.020 his parole, was also officially classified as a high-risk offender. Specifically, it was determined

00:03:53.920 that he was a high risk to commit domestic violence and violent crime in general. Sanderson's

00:04:00.340 parole supervisor, for this reason, recommended that he remain behind bars, but the members of the

00:04:05.440 parole board said that they were impressed with the fact that Sanderson had, quote,

00:04:09.120 made progress on his healing journey. And they were happy that he had, quote, made arrangements

00:04:14.360 for a therapist. And they were optimistic that he could, quote, make the journey towards a pro-social

00:04:19.900 life. Moreover, they determined that his life of crime was not really his fault. It was due to trauma

00:04:26.380 that he'd suffered from, quote, the intergenerational impacts of residential schools, neglect, exposure to

00:04:32.900 familial and community substance abuse, your own substance abuse issues, exposure to slash

00:04:38.160 experiencing domestic violence during your childhood, family fragmentation, lack of education, and loss

00:04:43.680 of culture slash spirituality. They determined that he did not, therefore, present an undue risk to

00:04:50.720 society. And they declared, quote, the board is satisfied that your risk is manageable in the community if

00:04:56.940 you live with your redacted, so live with a certain family member, maintain sobriety and employment,

00:05:03.720 and continue with developing supports, including getting therapy. So Sanderson was released. He

00:05:10.820 immediately violated his parole, again, stopped reporting to his parole officer, and next thing you

00:05:16.380 know, he's on the lam. He's off the radar completely for four months until this past weekend when he popped

00:05:22.340 up again, along with his brother Damien Sanderson, and went on a stabbing spree, murdering 10 people

00:05:29.840 and wounding 18 others. And he's still on the run as we speak. His brother Damien was found dead after

00:05:36.300 the stabbing spree, possibly murdered by Miles himself. If Miles is caught, caught alive and arrested

00:05:43.920 again, which they think he probably committed suicide, but if he is caught and alive and arrested again,

00:05:49.040 under Canadian law, he will automatically be eligible for parole after 25 years. He's only 32.

00:05:55.900 That puts him out in the street before he turns 60. In Canada, you can murder 10 people and still be 0.50

00:06:03.280 released back into society. It is impossible to get a life sentence for any crime in Canada, no matter

00:06:09.960 what you do. As Miles proved, it's nearly impossible to get even a moderate sentence. I mean, he committed 59

00:06:17.040 crimes and still hadn't earned more than a comparative slap on the wrist. Now, 10 people are dead at the

00:06:25.040 hands of a man who, we were told by the parole board, presented no undue risk to society.

00:06:32.840 Now, this story is not getting very much attention in the American press, as you might expect, and that's

00:06:38.220 not because it happened in Canada. It's rather because the whole saga, every bit of it from start

00:06:44.280 to finish, exposes every left-wing narrative about crime, exposes and invalidates, reveals the absurdity

00:06:52.820 of these narratives. Here we have a repeat violent offender from a supposedly oppressed minority group

00:06:59.220 because he has indigenous heritage, which, by the way, in Canada, that is also according to the

00:07:06.020 criminal code in Canada. They have to take that into account. So if an indigenous person commits a 1.00

00:07:10.860 violent crime, then they have to take into account that he's indigenous, and oftentimes he'll get a

00:07:15.240 lighter sentence because, well, he's indigenous, so it's okay.

00:07:18.080 So, repeat offender, oppressed minority group, supposedly, given chance after chance after

00:07:26.860 chance, and yet utterly determined to inflict as much damage on society as possible. And finally,

00:07:33.240 he goes on a mass killing spree and does this in a country where guns are illegal.

00:07:38.360 Because apparently you don't need a gun to kill mass amounts of people. Miles and Damien didn't need

00:07:45.360 guns anyway. Their victims certainly could have used them, but the victims were disarmed. In fact,

00:07:51.760 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had just declared a couple of months earlier, you might remember this

00:07:55.760 clip, a couple months earlier he said that self-defense is not a human right. If you're attacked by a

00:08:00.860 violent scumbag in Canada, it is your responsibility to simply die. And 10 people fulfilled their duty in 1.00

00:08:08.820 that respect, as Justin Trudeau demanded. Now, Canada's gun laws and criminal justice laws are

00:08:16.060 totally insane. They're literally designed to get innocent people killed. And they have succeeded in

00:08:23.920 that regard. But our situation down here in the States isn't much better as we get closer to Canadian 1.00

00:08:29.380 level madness every single day. Innocent people die in our country every single day for the sake of

00:08:35.200 giving brutal dirtbags their second and third and fourth and fifth and sixth and seventh chances.

00:08:42.180 Speaking of which, a young woman named Eliza Fletcher is one of the most recent human sacrifices 0.51

00:08:47.220 to be offered up on the altar of compassion for criminals. Fletcher was 34 years old, a mother of

00:08:52.800 two small children, a kindergarten teacher. On Friday morning, she went jogging and never returned.

00:08:58.640 Two nights ago, so a couple of nights after she went missing, her body was found dead, brutal,

00:09:05.200 paralyzed, lying in the yard of an abandoned home. Her clothes had been removed and discarded in a

00:09:11.400 plastic garbage bag nearby. A man named Cleotha Abstin has been charged with abducting and killing

00:09:17.400 Fletcher. And it will not surprise you to learn that Abstin, like Sanderson, is a career criminal

00:09:23.420 with convictions for assault, robbery, rape, all of that on his record. In fact, in the year 2000,

00:09:29.780 he was sent to prison for 24 years for kidnapping and aggravated robbery. So he had done exactly this

00:09:37.180 thing before. Now, you might be doing the math in your head and saying, well, 24 years since 2000,

00:09:43.640 why is he out of prison? Well, he was actually released in 2020. He was released four years early.

00:09:49.940 Another criminal who, according to the parole board, I guess, didn't, you know, present an undue threat

00:09:54.980 to society. Well, he made it two years after being let out of jail, before he committed the exact same

00:10:01.680 crime again, only this time adding murder and possibly, given the fact that the victim's clothes

00:10:08.040 were removed, other unspeakable acts as well, though that hasn't been confirmed yet. Cleotha Abstin

00:10:15.460 was given another chance, actually given a lot of chances. And now two young children will grow up

00:10:21.680 without a mother because of that. This is happening all across the country at an increasing

00:10:25.900 rate. In all, over 75% of criminals released from prison end up back in prison after committing more

00:10:33.900 crimes. 75%. Which means that anytime a criminal is released from jail, it is statistically almost certain

00:10:43.500 there's at least a three quarters chance that this person's going to commit another crime, victimize

00:10:48.680 another person, end up back in jail. Has this led to a decrease in the rate at which these parasites 0.97

00:10:55.440 are unleashed back onto society? No. In fact, it's been the exact opposite. As more and more innocent 0.97

00:11:00.780 people fall victim to these repeat offenders, the powers that be have doubled down, promising to fill

00:11:05.900 our communities with even more of these crooks and delinquents. John Fetterman, for example, has called for

00:11:11.620 the mass release of convicts who are serving life sentences in prison. And by the way,

00:11:18.340 life sentence in prison, this is not one of those, we always hear about the mythological people that are

00:11:22.380 in prison because they, you know, had a little bit of weed or something. And they were, next thing you

00:11:26.680 know, they get, they get 10 years in prison, supposedly. You get a life sentence. It's not for

00:11:30.980 weed. We could tell you that. But he wants to release a lot of them. Let's listen to that.

00:11:34.440 We have a catastrophic bottleneck in our prisons of over 5,000 men and women condemned to die

00:11:43.200 in prison. And many of them, I believe, personally, are deserving of a second chance.

00:11:51.960 Catastrophic bottleneck, he says. In fact, John Fetterman has been more specific talking about this

00:11:56.820 and has said that he wants to release up to one third of the prisoners who are serving life sentences

00:12:01.360 because of the bottleneck. There are too many people who've done things so horrible that they

00:12:08.200 earned life sentences because of it. And the solution, says Fetterman, and also says nearly

00:12:12.820 every other elected Democrat in the country, is to release these people back into our communities 0.85

00:12:18.520 and so that, you know, the catastrophe in our prison can become a catastrophe right outside our

00:12:26.280 front doors. And that's exactly what's happened with violent crime rates rising rapidly all across

00:12:31.340 the country. Now, what makes this crisis so especially infuriating is that, unlike other

00:12:40.340 problems we face as a society, I mean, there are some problems that are complicated and difficult,

00:12:44.940 and there is not an easy solution. This is not one of those problems. There's actually an easy,

00:12:50.720 simple solution. And it's a solution that almost nobody is talking about among our elected officials,

00:12:56.580 and that's on the right and the left. Okay, because keep in mind, this is not just the Democrats.

00:13:04.100 Now, we talk about the Democrats. I just said Democrats, but it's also Republicans.

00:13:08.840 There are lots of Republicans, including the last Republican administration, who were all

00:13:14.080 on board for prison reform, which means taking more people out of prison and putting them on the streets.

00:13:21.320 There are very few Republicans offering the real solution, which is this. Arrest violent criminals,

00:13:30.320 put them in prison, and keep them there. Now, if there are concerns about the sustainability of such

00:13:38.140 a system, if there's concerns about overcrowding and bottlenecks, well, there's a solution for that too.

00:13:44.060 Here's what it is. You take the worst of the bunch, the most violent and despicable, guys like Cleotha

00:13:50.880 Abston, and what you do is, again, it's very, very simple. You take them out of their prison cells,

00:13:57.480 and you bring them up onto a platform, and you put a rope around their necks, and then you hang them 0.99

00:14:04.240 from it until they're dead. And then you take their bodies, and you bury them in a grave marked only by 0.96

00:14:10.800 their inmate number, and you let society forget that they ever existed. Because when you do things

00:14:16.260 like this, you don't even get to be remembered by society. We bury you in the ground and try to

00:14:22.060 forget about you. Now, this is called capital punishment. Of course, you may have heard of it. 1.00

00:14:27.060 It's still used in some states, but should be used in every state, and it should be used much more

00:14:31.800 often than it is. A society with a strong sense of justice, a clear understanding of right versus

00:14:40.080 wrong, and a society which values innocent lives like Eliza Fletcher will necessarily treat violent 0.84

00:14:47.880 crime with this kind of severity. It is not bloodlust or vengeance. It is justice. It's also realism,

00:14:54.560 as it acknowledges that some people, through their own behavior, have become an undue burden on society,

00:15:00.340 and they've given us no choice but to relieve ourselves of the burden through the only means

00:15:06.020 available. I mean, if you're such a burden on society that we can't even put you in prison,

00:15:11.300 then there's only one other solution.

00:15:16.900 The point we have to understand here, and the way that we should be framing this discussion and

00:15:22.180 talking about it, is that releasing violent criminals or giving them lenient sentences

00:15:27.720 is not a decision made in a vacuum. Everything in life is a trade-off, and that's especially the

00:15:35.760 case here. So when somebody like Abstin or Sanderson is sent back into the free world again and again and

00:15:42.760 again and again and again, the system that released those men is making a trade. They're not just doing

00:15:49.700 it. There's a trade here. They are trading Eliza Fletcher's safety, your safety, my safety, my

00:15:56.960 children's safety, your children's safety, for the sake of this person's freedom. That's what they're

00:16:02.320 saying. I mean, think about the phrasing that they used for Sanderson, an undue. It's not an undue

00:16:09.320 risk to society. Well, it's not the same thing as saying that it's not a risk. It's just not an undue

00:16:15.720 risk. What does that mean? Well, it means that the parole board, the system, has declared that,

00:16:21.500 yeah, he's a risk. I mean, he's a high risk, actually. So think about it. How could he be a

00:16:25.260 high-risk offender and yet not an undue risk? How could he be classified as both at the same time?

00:16:31.200 Well, because he's a high risk, but it's a due risk. Like, it's a risk worth taking, is what they're

00:16:39.440 saying, in other words. Yeah, there's a high risk that he's going to kill a bunch of people, which he did, 0.85

00:16:43.660 but it was a risk worth taking for his freedom.

00:16:50.220 That's what they're saying. The system declares that it is worth the risk to your children's

00:16:55.340 lives in order to give a heinous monster his ninth or tenth or eleventh chance.

00:17:01.840 But the people who make this trade on our behalf, a trade that none of us agree to or want,

00:17:07.640 are never made to defend the decision or explain how they've arrived at this moral calculation.

00:17:13.660 They can't defend it. Because all of this is, in the worst way, indefensible.

00:17:23.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:25.200 All right. This has really gotten out of hand, folks. The Sweet Baby Gang has now started a

00:17:38.240 petition calling for a return to the flannels. And there's an actual change.org petition.

00:17:45.840 Next thing you know, there's going to be a march on Washington. But this is really difficult for me,

00:17:50.380 you have to understand, because I'm being torn in different directions. I'm helplessly caught in

00:17:54.100 the middle. Okay? I am utterly helpless here. Like yesterday after the show, I had like a 30-minute

00:18:01.460 conversation with my producer, Sean McKenna, who are both very pro-blazer and anti-flannel,

00:18:06.400 I'll tell you. Sean had like a whole PowerPoint presentation about the blazer. But then I go home,

00:18:14.680 and I find out that my wife is on team plaid. And she's like, she's actually very, everyone is very

00:18:23.800 serious about this and taking it very seriously. She is like emotional about it. And she actually

00:18:28.580 said, this is what she said. I'm not making this up. She said that, you know, you know, it's getting

00:18:32.000 to be fall now. And so I go out and I see people wearing plaid and I see them wearing flannel. And it

00:18:36.880 makes me sad remembering when you used to wear flannel. And I'm like, I'm not dead. I'm still,

00:18:42.160 I'm sitting right across from you. I can still wear flannels. It's just about the show.

00:18:46.760 Then she tells me that she actually sent a text to our wardrobe person about this issue. So she has

00:18:52.240 entered into the discussion. And meanwhile, I'm sitting here, I don't have strong feelings about

00:18:58.460 it. Like I have strong feelings about almost everything, including things that don't matter

00:19:02.160 at all. But in terms of what I wear, I don't care that much, which is the whole reason I wore

00:19:07.540 flannel to begin with. It's just because like, it's something you can throw on and you don't need to

00:19:10.800 iron it as much. It doesn't get as wrinkly, at least as obviously wrinkly. So that's why I was

00:19:14.680 wearing it to begin with. So I'm sort of stuck in the middle. It's like the one thing I don't care

00:19:20.520 that much about. Everyone is sort of in my ear about it. So here's what I'll say. Start a GoFundMe,

00:19:28.820 raise $50,000 for me personally to go in my pocket, and then I'll start wearing the flannel again.

00:19:34.660 That's the solution. Just kidding. Don't do that. Forget I said that because they'll actually do it.

00:19:40.800 Don't do it. That was a joke, but I still haven't decided what the answer is. Okay.

00:19:46.360 Karen Jean Pear, she might have an answer to this. Maybe someone should ask her.

00:19:50.400 That's what we need. We need a statement from the White House on this issue.

00:19:54.020 She was called out at the White House press conference yesterday for her own past comments

00:20:00.100 questioning the integrity of our elections. And this is something that you could do.

00:20:07.240 This is, you could take any Democrat on the national stage and put them on the spot like

00:20:13.320 this because all of them, of course, when Donald Trump was elected in 2016, all of them were out

00:20:19.280 there saying that this is not legitimate. This is not right. This is, you know, we got to abolish the

00:20:23.520 electoral college. This is Russia. It's everything. Election interference. All of them were saying that

00:20:28.180 every single one. Uh, Karen Jean Pear was among them and, uh, here's how she responded to that

00:20:34.100 question. The new attention on the mag of Republicans. You tweeted in 2016, Trump stole an election.

00:20:43.460 I was waiting, Peter, when you were going to ask me that question. Well, here we go. You tweeted

00:20:48.300 Trump stole an election. You tweeted Brian Kemp stole an election. If denying election results is

00:20:54.180 extreme now. Yeah. So let's, let's be really clear that that comparison that you made is just

00:21:00.820 ridiculous. I have been, I have been, well, you're asking me, you're asking me a question. Let me

00:21:04.940 answer it. And you said ridiculous. I was, I was talking specifically at that time of what was 0.99

00:21:10.740 happening with voting rights and the, what was in danger of voting rights. That's what I was speaking

00:21:15.740 to at the time. Well, it's, this is, of course, that's always their answer. This is ridiculous.

00:21:23.000 What are you saying that I should be held accountable for my own words that I, are you 0.97

00:21:30.140 suggesting that I should hold myself to the same standard that I hold my political opponents? That's

00:21:35.200 absurd. And the thing is that that's not, that's not a put on. That's not an act. She really thinks

00:21:39.680 it's ridiculous. It, for people on the left, it is, it is actually absurd to them. The very idea 0.82

00:21:45.980 that they should be held to the same standard that they hold the rest of us is it's just, 0.86

00:21:50.080 it's ludicrous. It doesn't even compute. Well, of course it's different. It's me saying this. 0.79

00:21:56.300 It's as opposed to you. And actually, you know, we say this goes back to 2016 with them questioning

00:22:03.220 elections. Um, and it wasn't just the presidential election. I mean, they also, we, we know that

00:22:08.480 Stacey Abrams is, is currently the governor of, uh, of, uh, of Georgia, according to them,

00:22:13.660 but it goes back before 2016. I mean, they've been questioning the integrity of every election

00:22:20.120 they lost since at least 2000. I mean, since at least the first Bush term,

00:22:26.480 they've been questioning the integrity of every election they lose. And it's not even just elections.

00:22:32.740 It's whenever they lose anything, they, they question the integrity of the system that produced

00:22:41.140 that loss for them. Supreme court, you know, they could get 50 Supreme court decisions in a row that 0.93

00:22:49.340 go their way. Then they get one that doesn't. And it's, well, the whole, it's whole, the whole thing

00:22:52.880 is rigged. It's the whole system needs to be changed. Abolish the Supreme court, get rid of it.

00:22:56.500 That's what they do. That of course is always the game, but to them, it's not, as I'm always

00:23:05.160 reminding people, it's not a, it is not really a double standard. It is one standard, which is,

00:23:10.540 uh, you know, they get to do what they want. And for us, it's something different. So it's,

00:23:17.880 it's kind of, it is in a way, one consistent standard where they, they are the privileged

00:23:22.560 and they can act a certain way, but that doesn't apply to us. All right. This is from the daily

00:23:29.480 wire and interesting poll result here. Although it, to me, it's kind of up in the air, whether

00:23:35.880 you interpret this in a positive or negative way, I don't know. It says nearly one in four

00:23:40.140 democratic voters believe men can get pregnant. According to a new poll, the online survey conducted

00:23:45.620 by WPA intelligence from August 20, uh, 22nd through the 25th found 22% of Democrats agreed

00:23:53.180 with the statement. Some men can get pregnant. The percentage rose when only including women

00:23:58.920 and a whopping 36% of white college educated female Democrats concurred. Overall, few Americans

00:24:07.120 think that men can get pregnant. Uh, but this is quoting from the firm that did the poll,

00:24:12.900 but with 36% of a core Democrat constituency and one out of five Democrat voters believing

00:24:19.220 this one can see why democratic leaders coddle the radical gender theory movement. The poll

00:24:25.900 underscores the left's growing embrace of a radical gender theory that biological sex does 0.77

00:24:29.360 not dictate gender. Now I I've sort of seen this poll just came out this morning and daily

00:24:33.820 wire reported. I've looked at some of the reaction and I've seen some people on the right

00:24:39.500 kind of kind of taking this in a positive way and say, well, it's still, so, so the majority of

00:24:44.940 even Democrats don't believe that men can get pregnant. Um, so that's a good sign, I guess. 1.00

00:24:52.760 I'm not sure I quite see it that way. Still 22% will agree with the statement that some men can get 0.70

00:24:58.820 pregnant. That is a given the statement that they're agreeing to. Okay. If this was a 22% of Democrats, 0.73

00:25:07.900 uh, you know, only 22% of Democrats think that abortion should be legal with no, with no exceptions

00:25:15.420 or something. Well, that I would say, well, that, that would, that'd be a very good sign.

00:25:20.100 22% agree with the statement that some men can get pregnant. And one of the things about polls 0.82

00:25:25.540 like this is that you can't, you can't, you can't go back 10 years, 20 years and check what the polls

00:25:31.780 were saying back then because nobody was polling this, this topic at all, which actually tells you

00:25:37.680 everything you need to know. It was, it didn't occur to anyone to even ask the question until,

00:25:44.540 you know, five seconds ago. But I think we would be pretty certain that if this question was asked,

00:25:51.620 I mean, 10 years ago, it gets a little dicey. 15 years ago, 20 years ago, you asked this question

00:25:56.160 and every single person is saying, uh, can men get pregnant? No, of course not.

00:26:00.280 And then what an even greater shame for, uh, the Democrats and female Democrats in particular, 1.00

00:26:10.860 that there are more women on the Democrat side that will agree with that statement than men.

00:26:16.260 It's like women on the left are more on board with being erased than the men are.

00:26:30.000 College educated female Democrats in particular, which kind of shows you, uh, what a, what a college 1.00

00:26:36.940 education does for you these days. I mean, you've got people that go through four years of college or

00:26:42.120 even, I mean, how many of these are grad students? I'd like to break it down that far. I want to see

00:26:46.780 this poll again, but now show me. So we got college educated Democrats and then, and then, and then,

00:26:52.800 uh, narrow it down to grad students. I want those with master's degrees and PhDs. How many of them say

00:26:59.360 that men can get pregnant? I bet you then it gets over 50%. So you can spend four, six, eight, 0.99

00:27:06.160 however many years in higher education, supposedly, and come out on the other end

00:27:13.460 with six figure debt, but a, a, uh, less of a grasp on basic biology than my kids have.

00:27:26.660 Here's a kind of the same subject. Here's a pediatrician with a familiar line about puberty

00:27:31.920 blockers. This is on, uh, another pediatrician on Tik TOK. Now, once again, obviously goes without

00:27:37.100 saying for me to take this video and show it to you is an act of terrorism and incitement. How dare

00:27:43.500 I? But here's what she said. Puberty blockers are used once puberty has started, but not when you're

00:27:51.240 too far along. And what they do is they just pause your puberty where it's at. And that gives you time

00:28:00.000 to further explore your gender identity without the extra pressure of developing in a gender

00:28:07.820 in which you might not feel comfortable. And then if you continue those puberty blockers long enough,

00:28:14.220 then you can start replacement therapy with the, uh, gender identity hormone of your choice when you

00:28:21.540 reach usually around 15 or so, or once you've been on that puberty blocker for at least a couple of years.

00:28:27.280 Hope that answers your question. Yeah, that's a, the, the account is called ask the doctor or ask a doctor.

00:28:34.260 So, you know, if you have any medical questions, you can go and ask this doctor and she will simply

00:28:39.080 lie to your face with delusional, insane, dangerous nonsense, like what you just heard there. Uh, but, 0.62

00:28:45.320 but it's familiar nonsense at this point, especially if you've seen my film, what is a woman, which you can

00:28:49.220 go to was woman.com. If you haven't seen it and watch it there, um, you are familiar with this

00:28:53.340 nonsense because it's the same thing that I heard from, uh, from several so-called experts that,

00:28:58.820 well, you could just pause, just pause it, just put it on pause. Uh, a total lie of course. And it,

00:29:04.540 and it reveals again on the left. And we see this with a lot of what they say about climate change

00:29:09.460 and environmentalism too. We see it, um, you know, slight, slightly less malignant form of it,

00:29:14.780 but still pretty malignant, which is this total lack of respect for nature. As much as they talk

00:29:22.820 about nature, uh, a total lack of respect for it, for the power of nature. And that includes human

00:29:30.620 nature. That includes biology. So you're treating the process of human development. It's like a game

00:29:40.420 but you're talking about the, the analogy that, uh, one of the people I talked to in what is a woman

00:29:46.580 used is it's like, it's like a, it's music. You could just pause it and then pick up the next note

00:29:51.160 of the song. But really it's, they're talking about it like it is a game, like it's a video game. You

00:29:56.840 just hit the pause button and you can freeze it right there and then come back to it anytime and pick

00:30:02.600 up right where you left off. That's not how nature works.

00:30:10.420 I mean, you're talking about a system in, in human beings anyway, that's been in place

00:30:18.380 for millions of years. And you think you can, you can circumvent it like that, that easily,

00:30:25.100 just pop a pill, circumvent this process without any downside whatsoever, no side effects.

00:30:33.700 You could take a pill and put someone kind of freeze someone at the exact moment of development

00:30:39.880 they're currently at and keep them there indefinitely. By the way, if this was true,

00:30:46.240 would this not be the, the key to like immortality basically? If that's true,

00:30:52.040 that you could just take a pill and freeze your physical development in place and then resume it

00:30:57.480 some other time, then, I mean, I guess you could take puberty blockers, you know, someone could take

00:31:01.680 puberty blockers for 60 years. And then when they're, when they're technically in their seventies,

00:31:07.540 they could pick up with a development again and end up living in, you know, until they're like in

00:31:11.980 their mid one hundreds. If that's how it worked, but that is not how it works at all. I mean, what you

00:31:21.980 can do is you can essentially by poisoning these kids. And when you're using the drugs this way off

00:31:29.520 label in a way that they're not meant to be used, you're, you're poisoning them and you can stunt

00:31:35.500 their growth and you can mess with the biological processes, but there are significant side effects

00:31:44.980 and we can't even really call them side effects because they are just, they're the effects.

00:31:48.400 They're really the intended effects. So here is a report in the post-millennial with another name

00:31:55.040 that might be familiar to you. If you've seen what is a woman says that a recent talk at Duke

00:31:58.900 university on trans and gender diverse policies, care practices, and wellbeing surgeon and trans

00:32:05.560 affirming doctor, quote unquote, Marcy Bowers, who transitioned at the age of 38, admitted that

00:32:10.460 children who undergo transition before puberty will never have adult sexual function or experience

00:32:15.380 orgasm. Never. Bowers said, an observation that I had, uh, every single child who was,

00:32:21.920 or adolescent who was truly blocked at Tanner stage two, which is the beginning of physical

00:32:25.740 development. When hormones begin their work of advancing a child to adulthood has never experienced

00:32:31.360 orgasm. I mean, it's really zero. Bowers says, um, this raises huge and glaring red flags with the

00:32:40.960 concept of informed consent reading now from post-millennial for children and teens who are

00:32:44.800 ushered in transition. Um, Bowers proudly advertises the fact that she actually it's a, it's a, he, this is 0.96

00:32:51.340 a male has both delivered 2000 babies and performed 2000 castrations on biological men who identifies

00:32:58.380 transgender performing, uh, vaginoplasties and is recognized as a pioneer in the field of gender

00:33:04.320 affirming surgery. So like I said, we talked to Marcy Bowers in, uh, in what is a woman. And this

00:33:12.640 is the person who, when we, there were, there were many disturbing parts of that conversation,

00:33:16.660 but it's also the person we taught when, when I, when I asked him about, um, the social contagion,

00:33:23.860 is there a social contagion element to this? The fact, the fact that we've got so many kids all of a

00:33:29.640 sudden who are identifying as trans when before it was almost non-existent, comparatively speaking,

00:33:34.840 uh, is that an indication of, of social contagion. And I think of the exact quote, quote was maybe a

00:33:43.460 teensy bit, just a little bit, but here's Bowers admitting that when you give these drugs to a child,

00:33:51.080 you are forfeiting for the child permanently adult sexual function.

00:33:56.760 And that does raise a question about consent. I mean, it doesn't simply raise a question about

00:34:04.380 consent. It reveals that there cannot be consent here because how can a child

00:34:08.840 consent to foregoing something like that? You're talking to a prepubescent child. How can they possibly

00:34:17.980 consent to foregoing adult sexual function? They're foregoing something they've never experienced.

00:34:24.480 They don't understand. And they're consenting to never having it ever in their lives.

00:34:34.540 Same question with a, with a 14 year old girl who supposedly consents to having 0.58

00:34:38.960 her breasts removed and thereby consents supposedly to, um, never being able to breastfeed a child. 1.00

00:34:48.300 Yeah. Maybe when you're talking to a 14 year old girl, it doesn't sound like a big deal

00:34:51.680 because being a mother is nowhere on her radar, especially when she's in the midst of all this

00:34:57.220 gender confusion that's been imposed on her in many ways. So how can she consent? 1.00

00:35:07.220 How could she know what she's giving up? She can't. This is a decision that is being made for these

00:35:13.080 children that the, the, the adult versions of those children will have to live with.

00:35:17.640 And by the way, the people that are actually making decisions, they don't have to live with

00:35:23.060 the consequences. They're putting that on the child to deal with. All right. This is from, uh,

00:35:31.480 the daily wire. It says Elon Musk is weighing in on the new Amazon series, the Lord of the Rings,

00:35:36.520 the rings of power. And it sounds like the billionaire Tesla CEO is not a fan.

00:35:40.500 Tolkien is turning in his grave. Musk tweeted Monday in response to the series, which just

00:35:44.740 released episodes, uh, on, uh, uh, two episodes last Thursday, almost every male character so far 0.94

00:35:51.420 as a coward, a jerk, or both only Galadriel is, I guess that's a Lord of the Rings character is brave, 0.87

00:35:57.540 smart, and nice. Now this is part of a overall kind of backlash against, I guess, against the Lord of 0.98

00:36:04.140 the Rings series. Daily wire has also has this report. There's been a lot of hype leading up to

00:36:07.480 Amazon's Lord of the Rings adaptation, the rings of power. But now some fans are saying it's a huge

00:36:11.640 flop. The series premiered the first two episodes Thursday currently has an 84% critic rating and a

00:36:16.860 36% audience rating on on Rotten Tomatoes. This certainly isn't the first time critics and viewers

00:36:22.080 disagreed on whether a show was a triumph or a fail, but some reviewers are accusing fans of being

00:36:27.940 racist for their one star reviews. Of course we knew that was going to happen. A writer for the

00:36:33.660 Hollywood Reporter likened these reviewers to miserable little trolls who were review bombing 0.99

00:36:38.220 the series simply because casting directors chose to add black actors into it. So this is, 0.98

00:36:44.700 this is the narrative now that we're getting from the media. I haven't watched this show. I have no

00:36:48.440 interest in watching it. And I'm a fan of Lord of the Rings actually, but it's because I'm a fan of

00:36:52.840 Lord of the Rings that I'm not going to watch Amazon's version of it. And I, and I, I said this

00:36:58.840 from the very beginning, the first time they announced the series, I was warning everyone,

00:37:02.000 it's going to be a disappointment. It is going to disappoint you because Hollywood in the year

00:37:06.380 2022 does not have the ability. I mean, it would, it would be in any era, it would be very difficult

00:37:13.380 to make a Lord of the Rings series, which yes, maybe it's based on some of Tolkien's work,

00:37:19.540 but you're basically telling your own story. And now we're going to stack it up against one of the

00:37:25.840 classic fantasy novels of all time, fantasy series of all time. So in any era of Hollywood,

00:37:31.500 that's a lot to ask. I mean, you're, you're almost doomed to fail already,

00:37:37.400 but especially in this era, it's just, it's impossible that the series can be good.

00:37:46.800 They don't have the capacity to tell these kinds of stories anymore. And when I say capacity,

00:37:52.780 I don't mean from a financial perspective, they got all the money in the world. It's been a billion

00:37:56.620 dollars on this series, which by the way, you don't hear a lot of complaints from, from the left

00:38:06.120 about that. You know, they say about like Elon Musk, when he made an offer for Twitter, they said,

00:38:12.080 well, why don't you, you could have taken that money and solve the world hunger. Well,

00:38:16.520 Amazon spent a billion dollars on a, on a TV show. How much world, how much of world hunger could they

00:38:22.920 have solved with that? But they've got the money, but they don't have, there's not the,

00:38:29.420 there's not the, the spiritual capacity to tell stories like this anymore in Hollywood.

00:38:37.540 But the narrative is that the people don't like the show because there are some black actors in it.

00:38:42.700 And of course, because, you know, the people that are watching Lord of the Rings, it's the first time 0.89

00:38:46.360 they've seen a black actor in a show and they're all racist. And so that's why they have a problem with 0.89

00:38:50.440 it. Then you, you go and you read the audience reviews and what you see, not surprisingly, is

00:38:57.000 that almost all of them don't like the show because they think it's boring. They don't like

00:39:01.640 how it's written and all of those things. I looked at some of the reviews. I didn't see one person

00:39:06.540 complain about the fact that there's a black actor. Now, with that said, audiences at this point

00:39:13.980 have a very low tolerance for anything that even smells woke. Like the minute there's a hint of woke

00:39:20.420 wokeness. And of course, just having a black actor doesn't mean that you're trying to do something

00:39:24.980 woke. But the minute there's a hint of it, like if there's a hint that they put a character in the

00:39:31.280 show just for, for no reason, not because it advances a story, but just for diversity concerns,

00:39:37.260 the minute there's even a hint of that, audiences are repelled and for good reason, because we're sick

00:39:42.660 of it. Though I don't think that's the primary complaint here. All right, here's, before we get to the

00:39:47.620 comment section, here's the latest from TikTok. This is an anti-white racist who went viral

00:39:54.120 with this temper tantrum about white people. Let's listen. 1.00

00:39:58.580 I call y'all white people for what I see, y'all. Y'all are devils. Y'all are parasites. Y'all are 1.00

00:40:04.580 mosquitoes. And when you look at a mosquito, you see that mosquitoes latch onto other life forms, 0.92

00:40:11.160 drain the blood from that life form to get nutrients so it can power itself. That's exactly

00:40:18.660 what y'all are. Because every single thing that y'all do is to drain the life out of everything.

00:40:27.200 And when we look at the advent of y'all devils, since the moment y'all were created, y'all have caused

00:40:34.220 destruction, chaos, and deception on our earth. When we welcome y'all in to our kingdoms, our lands,

00:40:44.880 as eternal people, what did y'all do? Y'all came in, y'all caused destruction, y'all caused

00:40:52.100 altercations amongst us as a people and amongst our civilization. Therefore, we banish y'all, 0.99

00:40:59.340 we exiled y'all from the kingdom. This is the true story of the Garden of Eden.

00:41:06.680 Oh, it's a true story, huh? Yeah, white people caused altercations, but there were no altercations 0.87

00:41:13.920 in Africa prior to white people showing up. There were no altercations in the Americas before the 0.79

00:41:21.040 Europeans showed up. There were no altercations at all. Because when those cultures were 0.99

00:41:29.220 killing and enslaving each other, which they all were, they did it, I guess, in a peaceful way.

00:41:34.180 It wasn't, you know, kind of like a mostly peaceful BLM riot. It wasn't, there was no

00:41:38.440 altercation involved. I'm not sure exactly how that works. By the way, not to get too technical here,

00:41:44.620 but I'm pretty sure that only female mosquitoes bite and suck blood. So this also strikes me as a 0.86

00:41:51.520 sexist complaint from this guy. And white people, though, he says, are parasitic life form, 0.99

00:41:58.020 basically, that have brought only misery to the world. Which I guess you could see why he would 1.00

00:42:04.160 say that. You know, white people are parasites who brought misery to the world by inventing 1.00

00:42:10.640 antibiotics, inventing electricity, inventing space travel, the printing press, modern plumbing, 1.00

00:42:22.360 computers, almost all of modern medicine. All of the technology that this guy uses to complain

00:42:29.200 about white people, invented by white people. So here's my challenge. And this is serious. This is a 0.92

00:42:35.600 real challenge here. For any anti-white racist like this guy, and there are a lot of them out there, 0.95

00:42:42.240 here's my challenge. If you're an anti-white racist, I challenge you to go one single day. 1.00

00:42:49.380 I mean, even an hour of a day, I would be impressed if you could do that. But let's be ambitious. 0.98

00:42:53.920 Go one day without using anything that was given to you by the race of people you despise. 0.99

00:43:01.540 One day, can you do it? I don't think you can, but prove me wrong. Now let's get to our comment section.

00:43:11.400 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.

00:43:19.560 Okay, I have to do something here before we get to the comments, and hopefully you'll bear with me.

00:43:23.680 I'm in a bind, all right? A bind even worse than the flannel predicament. So a couple of weeks ago,

00:43:28.700 I happened to show you a picture that my five-year-old son drew of me. Maybe you remember

00:43:35.200 that, and I showed it to you because he made me look like a character from Nightmare Before Christmas,

00:43:39.840 which he hasn't even seen the movie. And I thought that was cool. So I showed you the picture. Well,

00:43:46.220 last night, I happened to mention to my son that I showed that picture that he drew of me on my show.

00:43:53.420 My kids obviously don't watch my show. They have very little idea of what I do for a living. They've got

00:43:58.100 very little concept of it. All they know is that daddy is on TV, and also that random strangers

00:44:03.140 sometimes stop daddy to take pictures with him. That's the only thing they know. So he was surprised

00:44:09.120 by that when I told him that I showed the picture. He was shocked, and he was thrilled, and he was very

00:44:14.680 proud of himself, rightfully so. And then, and I didn't know he was doing this at the time, but he ran off,

00:44:20.220 and he began furiously drawing more pictures, three more pictures in total. And he came, and he put

00:44:26.440 them in my bag, my briefcase. And he asked me to bring those to work and to show everyone those

00:44:33.260 pictures too. And he said that those pictures are even better, and he wants everyone to see them,

00:44:38.060 to know what a good artist he is. So he says this to me, and it's like, what am I going to say to that?

00:44:44.580 He's so excited and so proud. And so I said, yeah, sure, buddy. I'll, I could, I could do that at some

00:44:48.880 point. And he said, well, no, can you do it tomorrow? And, and, and I said, well, no, we'll see. And he

00:44:55.440 said, dad, can, when you get home, can you show me the video of you showing the drawing so I know you

00:44:59.920 did it? And I said, yeah, sure, I could do that. Great. So he backed me into a corner, folks, which is

00:45:08.060 why, and here's the clip that I'm going to, this is where the, this is the, this is the part of the clip

00:45:11.400 I'm going to show him. Um, this is why I have to show you these amazing drawings that my son made

00:45:16.660 for me. We'll put them up on the screen so you can see them. Uh, you can see there's a picture of me

00:45:20.680 fishing. There's another one of me, uh, and him, and then there's another one of me. I think we can

00:45:27.980 all agree, sweet baby gang, that, uh, this kid is truly a phenomenal artist. And what's even better,

00:45:33.440 I think, is that he has a knack for choosing great subjects for his drawings, uh, mainly because the

00:45:39.840 subject is almost always me. So there you are. There are the drawings, each one better than the

00:45:47.920 last. Can't we all agree? Now let's get to the comments. Cody says, I am saddened, Matt, to hear

00:45:55.660 that you have not had anyone to talk about dinosaurs for so long. Happy that your boys have grown enough

00:46:00.080 to discuss the fascinating creatures with you. If you ever need someone else to talk to about them,

00:46:03.940 I love dinosaurs and am here for you. Well, I appreciate that, Cody. Bentley says, Matt bans multiple

00:46:09.020 people from the show for telling him how to dress and groom himself. And he says he's a man of

00:46:14.380 principle and then immediately proceeds to tell us what razor we should be using, the hypocrisy. Well,

00:46:20.640 in fairness to me, I'm just doing as I'm told there. I mean, it's not, they are great razors,

00:46:26.800 but as you know, it's not like I can really offer my, my personal endorsement of them, but I do hear

00:46:31.380 they're great. Let's see. Tie my shoes says, Matt needs to add that red lighting during his daily

00:46:39.400 cancellation segment. A couple of walruses in the background. Oh, the red lighting from Biden's

00:46:43.300 speech. That's actually a really good idea. I hadn't thought about that, but that is, that lighting

00:46:48.420 is terrible for presidential speech as has been established. Would be really good for daily

00:46:53.200 cancellation. I do agree with you. Question everything says, I'm 65 and I did not know what

00:46:58.140 non-binary is. I thought it was computer talk, not to mention I'm a great grandmother and my children,

00:47:04.120 my grandchildren, and my great grandchildren have never talked this way until their school

00:47:08.760 attempted to indoctrinate them into this insanity. Well, you know, I'm, I'm happy to hear this response

00:47:13.980 from someone in their sixties because of course, like you, you lived, you know, a, your whole life

00:47:23.180 without anyone ever talking about non-binary because that concept didn't exist until it was invented

00:47:27.600 15 seconds ago. And I have to tell you, going back to my film, what is a woman? When we were

00:47:33.900 out doing our man on the street interviews at first, I really expected, like, I thought that

00:47:38.080 we would, we'd stop a bunch of younger people and people, my age, I don't know if they count as

00:47:42.020 younger. Um, and we would get a lot of people who are just confused and talking about non-binary

00:47:46.740 and pansexual and the rest of it. I thought though, that if we get anyone over the age of like 50,

00:47:53.200 certainly people are in their sixties and seventies and we stopped them and talk to them about this

00:47:56.240 stuff, they're going to be, they're going to have your reaction and say, what is this? This is crazy.

00:48:01.620 But it was quite depressing to find that, uh, the confusion spans all age groups largely

00:48:08.800 with some exceptions, like in your case. SS says, I'm probably going to get roasted here,

00:48:15.440 but I'm going to say this anyway, because I think it's true. And I hope Matt can be challenged by it.

00:48:20.060 I agree with a lot of what Matt Walsh says. A lot of it, most of it, here comes the,

00:48:25.220 but, but the way in which he says it is very often self-defeating. If his goal is to do anything

00:48:31.160 other than preach to the choir, a case in point from this episode, Matt says, I hate these people.

00:48:37.620 And only a few minutes later runs an ad for a Christian app that is listed among other,

00:48:41.360 among other aims, reducing the sinful temptation to hatred. I know the typical rejoinder here is

00:48:46.580 something along the lines of these people don't deserve kindness because they're threatening our very

00:48:50.680 way of life and so on. I've heard all that and I don't buy it. The reason is that Jesus did not

00:48:54.340 respond this way to people. And yes, I'm aware that he had harsh things to say, but go back and read

00:48:58.140 them. And you'll find that they are not spoken to those blinded by the world's sinfulness and

00:49:03.200 enslaved to it, but to the religious leaders of his day whose failure to abide by God's revealed path

00:49:09.000 denigrated God's name. What Jesus said explicitly is to love your enemies and forgive those who persecute

00:49:15.060 you. I accept most of that. The forgiveness part, not so much because is it up to me? Now,

00:49:24.860 what was I referring to yesterday when I said that? I was referring to adults who sexually 0.63

00:49:29.080 indoctrinate kids, who mutilate and drug kids. That's what I said when I said, I hate these people. 1.00

00:49:36.200 It's not up to me to forgive them. Okay. Now you could say, I forgive them as a Christian.

00:49:41.620 That's worthless. That is worthless forgiveness because you are not the person harmed.

00:49:48.900 This sin was not committed against you, so you could forgive them all day long. What does that

00:49:53.020 even mean? I mean, what does it mean to forgive someone of a sin they didn't commit against you,

00:49:58.620 but against someone else, namely a child? So forgiveness is a Christian virtue. It is very

00:50:04.960 important, but you can only forgive someone for things they've done to you, things that you are

00:50:09.640 affected by. If you're not affected, then forgiveness is, you know, forgiveness is something

00:50:19.380 that happens, again, to people who are, if you are affected by it. Now that said, does that let me

00:50:25.420 off the hook entirely? No, it doesn't. You are correct. We are called to love our enemies. We

00:50:32.340 shouldn't go around saying we hate people. I'm with you on that. But I'm also being honest with you

00:50:38.860 about how I feel about it. Because I do have hatred for them. I really do. And I'm just being

00:50:45.080 totally honest. Not defending it, being honest with you. That hatred is born from my love for the

00:50:54.700 children who are being harmed. That's where it comes from. If you are able to regulate that,

00:51:03.580 do a better job of regulating within yourself, then that's very good. And you should be commended for

00:51:09.040 that. However, my fear is that, and I'm not saying this is the case for you, because I don't know if

00:51:15.240 it is or not. I can't see inside your heart. But I have noticed there are a lot of Christians who

00:51:22.200 preach, well, we should love our enemies, and we should love the people who do horrible things to

00:51:26.780 children. And yet for many of them, it's not really love. You know, it's, or at the very least,

00:51:31.780 it's kind of a cheap love that they have. Because it's more indifference. Like, they don't really

00:51:35.420 care that much about it. And so they don't feel that rage within their souls about the horrible

00:51:44.340 things that are being done to kids and to others. They don't feel that rage and anger. They don't feel

00:51:50.820 it. And so it's very easy for them to say, oh, no, we shouldn't lash out in anger. We should just be

00:51:54.940 loving. It's only worth something if you feel the anger. I mean, if you understand just how

00:52:01.760 hideously, horribly evil this is. And if you feel that and understand it, and yet are still able to

00:52:10.520 regulate yourself spiritually and emotionally, then again, I commend you. I can learn something from

00:52:14.760 you. But there's a lot of so-called Christian love in our culture that, to me, seems a lot like

00:52:22.420 indifference. Which is why you get this from a lot of churches. And you hear priests and pastors get up

00:52:29.740 there, and they talk about Christian love all day long. They never even mention any of these things.

00:52:34.720 They don't even acknowledge it because they don't care, and they're indifferent to it. And so it's really

00:52:41.080 easy for them to say, oh, I love our enemies. Well, you don't even care about what our enemies are

00:52:45.700 doing to these kids. So you had a caution for me. I accept that. I have a caution for you as well.

00:52:56.440 Something to think about. Well, football season is upon us, and my colleagues bordering on friends over

00:53:02.660 at Crane & Company are hosting their first ever fantasy football draft party tonight. If you're an

00:53:09.360 anti-woke sports fan and you haven't watched Crane & Company on The Daily Wire yet, then I suggest

00:53:13.580 you do so. Not just because it's a great sports show that refuses to virtually signal leftist

00:53:17.600 politics, but because I will be competing all season long to add Daily Wire fantasy football

00:53:23.660 champion to my Twitter bio as well. I've got many accolades. This one is going to be the next that I

00:53:29.180 add. Every week I'll be going head-to-head with the Crane guys, Ben Shapiro, Andrew Klavan, Morning Wires,

00:53:33.960 John Bickley, and even Michael Knowles, whose sum of sports knowledge is the New York Yankees in the

00:53:38.140 90s. So I think we're good there. Make sure to follow our Daily Wire fantasy league throughout

00:53:42.520 the season by watching Crane & Company Mondays through Fridays. And I better not blow the draft

00:53:47.760 because the loser of this league, this is real. We're actually doing this. If you lose, the punishment

00:53:53.820 is you have to sit courtside at a WNBA game and actually watch the entire thing. This is, and by the

00:53:59.980 way, I have to tell you also that I, for some reason, because this punishment is so funny, I fought

00:54:05.660 for it behind the scenes. I'm like, this has to be it. We have to do this. And it only occurred to me

00:54:12.340 after the fact that I'll probably be the one who loses because I'm terrible at fantasy football. So

00:54:16.680 that's what's on the line here. That's why you need to tune in to watch the draft party. You can

00:54:21.020 catch all the draft action tonight over on Crane & Company's YouTube channel at 7 p.m. Eastern,

00:54:25.260 6 p.m. Central. Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:54:32.700 Today, we canceled Jennifer Lawrence, who's a Hollywood actress, been mostly out of the

00:54:37.220 spotlight since starring in a series of flops over the last several years. Now she's attempting

00:54:41.260 to get back into the spotlight again in the run-up to the release of her latest film. And having

00:54:47.780 scrupulously studied other Hollywood actresses, Lawrence knows that the best way to get the attention

00:54:51.960 back on yourself is, of course, to play the victim card. The fact that she has a net worth of like

00:54:57.360 $160 million does not at all hinder her in her access to the victim card. It's quite the opposite,

00:55:02.900 in fact, as we will see. In an interview with Vogue magazine, Lawrence runs through her list of woes.

00:55:10.060 Now, she begins with something that truly is tragic and terrible, and yet she manages to find the least

00:55:17.000 sympathetic possible way to talk about it. So she says that she's suffered miscarriages.

00:55:22.920 Miscarriages are an awful thing. We've been through that in my family as well. But then she

00:55:28.040 quickly adds that she was planning to abort the first miscarriage anyway. In fact, she frames the 0.72

00:55:33.420 whole conversation around the Dobbs decision, explaining that the recent birth of her first child

00:55:39.060 somehow has made her even more steadfast in her support for abortion. She says, quote,

00:55:45.660 I remember a million times thinking about it while I was pregnant, thinking about the things that were

00:55:49.920 happening to my body. And I had a great pregnancy. I had a very fortunate pregnancy. But every single

00:55:54.520 second of my life was difficult, or rather different. And it would occur to me sometimes,

00:55:59.220 what if I was forced to do this? Now, it's really hard to even fathom the derangement in a statement

00:56:05.120 like this. Lawrence was pregnant with a child that she says she wanted, and yet took solace in the fact

00:56:11.500 that she had the option to kill him. It's just the sort of thing that a person should not feel

00:56:16.840 comfortable saying out loud. But many such things are said out loud in a culture devoid of shame.

00:56:22.160 Lawrence then goes on to attack her own family, speaking of being shameless. Reading from the

00:56:26.340 report in Variety, it says, according to Vogue, much of Lawrence's disappointment over Roe v. Wade began

00:56:30.500 being overturned as, quote, directed at certain relatives back in Louisville, Kentucky, where she'd grown up,

00:56:37.420 including her father. The actor had been trying to repair the family rift after giving birth.

00:56:43.360 Then the Supreme Court ruling was made official in complicated matters. Lawrence processed her

00:56:47.820 family drama in therapy. Quote, I just worked so hard in the last five years to forgive my dad and

00:56:53.180 my family and try to understand it's different. The information they're getting is different.

00:56:57.960 Their life is different, Lawrence said. I've tried to get over it, and I really can't. I just can't.

00:57:03.620 I'm sorry. I'm just unleashing. But I can't F with people who aren't political anymore. You live in

00:57:08.320 the United States of America. You have to be political. It's too dire. Politics are killing

00:57:12.420 people. She says, I don't want to disparage my family, but I know that a lot of people are in a

00:57:17.060 similar position with their families. How could you raise a daughter from birth and believe that she

00:57:20.780 doesn't deserve equality? How? She doesn't want to disparage her family, but she will. This already 1.00

00:57:27.660 tells you all you need to know about this person. I mean, we don't value loyalty very highly in this

00:57:31.820 culture, mainly because we don't value anything of value in this culture. But that doesn't let

00:57:36.240 Lawrence off the hook. I mean, if you will attack your own family in public over political

00:57:41.820 disagreements of all things, that tells us that you are a self-absorbed backstabbing brat. But she 1.00

00:57:48.700 isn't done. She also reveals that she has sought therapy over a recurring nightmare that she has

00:57:54.660 involving Tucker Carlson. Then in the same interview, she for some reason confesses that she had her first

00:58:00.400 political awakening moment by watching 30 Rock. And finally, following the script of every self-victimizing

00:58:08.400 woman in Hollywood, the filthy rich Jennifer Lawrence complains about her salary, obviously. 1.00

00:58:14.940 She says, inequality is something, rather this is reading from Vogue again, a variety. Inequality is

00:58:20.780 something Lawrence has had to contend with in Hollywood too, where she has often been paid lower than her

00:58:25.000 male co-stars. The Sony hack revealed that she made far less than the likes of her male co-stars on

00:58:31.080 American Hustle, while reports reveal in 2021 that she earned $5 million less than Leonardo DiCaprio on

00:58:37.340 Don't Look Up, despite sharing top billing with him. Lawrence told Vogue that all actors are often

00:58:42.600 overpaid, but that doesn't make the pay gap any less frustrating. She added, quote, it doesn't matter how

00:58:48.560 much I do. I'm still not going to get paid as much as that guy because of my vagina. Well, no, 1.00

00:58:55.280 Jennifer, it's not because of your vagina. It's because people are more likely to see a movie for 1.00

00:59:01.580 Leonardo DiCaprio than for you. People will actually pay for a ticket because they want to see DiCaprio

00:59:08.220 in a film. People will do that. I'm not sure anyone has ever purchased a ticket just because they want

00:59:13.080 to see Jennifer Lawrence in a film. And I think she's a talented actress. I just don't think people are

00:59:16.360 going to the movies to see her. Now, technically, her films have grossed billions of dollars at the 0.98

00:59:21.160 box office, but that's almost entirely due to Hunger Games and X-Men. And those are both franchises

00:59:26.360 that would have had the same success with literally anyone else in her roles. That's the beauty of

00:59:32.420 franchise films as far as movie studios are concerned. Just like plug anybody in and they'll

00:59:36.860 make a billion dollars. Now, we should also note that Vogue conducted this interview with her,

00:59:42.660 first at an exclusive spa in Santa Monica, and they had a follow-up at Lawrence's mansion in

00:59:48.940 Beverly Hills. So this is the perfect picture of modern victimhood. You have a rich and famous actress

00:59:55.400 lounging in her mansion wearing a bathrobe, which was what she was wearing for the interview,

01:00:00.060 apparently, while complaining that she's oppressed by the patriarchy because one of the top actors in

01:00:05.200 the business made a few million dollars more than her on a film that wasn't any good anyway.

01:00:09.480 I think there is actually, for the rest of us, though, an important lesson in this. Now, we know

01:00:17.100 that spoiled and pampered people like to claim victimhood for themselves, and we know they do 0.51

01:00:22.320 this partially to virtue signal, partially for political points, partially because it's simply

01:00:27.660 an internal reflex that they barely understand themselves. But at a deeper level, I think

01:00:34.220 the constant self-victimization of extremely comfortable people who live luxurious lives

01:00:40.800 only goes to show that hardship and struggle are really necessary components of a full and healthy

01:00:47.900 life. They're so necessary that when a person is insulated from hardship, they begin to, like, desire

01:00:54.960 it. They want it. They make almost a fetish out of it. A life of unending comfort seems meaningless to

01:01:02.560 them, and so they find ways of convincing themselves that they're persecuted. And they do

01:01:09.340 this, of course, without actually sacrificing any of the comfort because they could give up all the

01:01:13.100 comfort and then really experience the hardship, but they don't want to do that. Their commitment

01:01:17.200 to suffering only goes so far. But it does go to show that perhaps real hardship is not always

01:01:23.660 something to be avoided because the people who succeed in avoiding it entirely only end up wishing

01:01:30.240 that they still had it. And then they end up embarrassing themselves, as Jennifer Lawrence

01:01:35.500 has done here. And it's why she is today finally canceled. And that'll do it for us for this portion

01:01:43.360 of the show as we move to the members block. I'll get used to ending the show somehow eventually this

01:01:48.100 way. We move over to the members block and we'll see you there. If not, see you tomorrow. Godspeed.

01:01:52.720 I will see you there.
