00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Indiana University celebrates a psychopathic pedophile while 0.96
00:00:04.320 Hollywood celebrates a gang of bloodthirsty slave traders. These are our new historical 0.93
00:00:08.780 heroes to replace the old and much better ones. Also, the regime uses the solemn occasion of 9-11
00:00:13.720 to further demonize their political opponents. Ron DeSantis upsets the left and libertarians
00:00:18.120 with his latest speech. BYU has completed its investigation into the invisible man
00:00:22.640 who silently shouted the N-word at a volleyball game. In our daily cancellation, that new
00:00:26.780 Hillary Clinton show on Apple TV is far worse than you could have ever imagined. All of that and more 1.00
00:00:32.380 today on the Matt Wall Show. The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is a huge, albeit long
00:00:45.940 overdue, step in the right direction, but there's still a long way to go to rid our country of
00:00:50.400 abortion finally. Many companies are bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and
00:00:56.300 candidates or reimbursing their employees' travel expenses so that if they live and work in a pro-life
00:01:00.980 state, they can travel to a pro-abortion state, get an abortion, and be back at work on Monday.
00:01:05.720 Well, what if I told you that if you're currently on a phone plan with one of the major carriers,
00:01:10.020 you might be supporting these companies and their pro-abortion agendas with your monthly phone bill.
00:01:15.140 Don't let abortionists use your money to fund policies you don't believe in. Switch to Charity
00:01:19.220 Mobile instead. Charity Mobile is a pro-life, pro-family cell phone company that sends 5% of your monthly
00:01:25.260 plan price to the pro-life charity of your choice. You don't have to compromise on values or good

00:01:44.120 switching your phone service to Charity Mobile. Call 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at
00:01:49.760 charitymobile.com. Mention offer code Walsh to redeem a free cell phone. That's charitymobile.com
00:01:55.460 and mention code Walsh. The war on history, ongoing for years now, has two phases. The first phase is
00:02:03.060 to demonize all of our culture's historical heroes, turn them into cartoon villains, basically downplay
00:02:09.560 their successes and virtues while emphasizing their shortcomings. And if they did not have enough
00:02:15.560 shortcomings to emphasize, then simply invent evil deeds that they didn't actually commit.
00:02:21.180 And this is easy enough to do. It's not like they're around to defend themselves from the
00:02:24.520 slander, so you can say whatever you want about them, then tear down their statues, take their names
00:02:28.460 off of buildings, turn them into sources of national shame, whereas before they were sources of national
00:02:33.880 pride. The left has a word, actually, for this first phase. It's problematize, which is to make a
00:02:40.260 problem out of something or someone that was not a problem before. Now, it's safe to say at this point
00:02:45.600 that phase one, the problematization phase, is complete. That moves us to phase two. With the old
00:02:53.860 heroes smoldering on the historical ash heap, their monuments all knocked over and decaying like the
00:02:59.860 Statue of Liberty and the Planet of the Apes, the next step is to replace them with new heroes.
00:03:05.260 And where the old heroes were great men and women who accomplished magnificent and world-changing
00:03:10.840 things, yet also being human-possessed flaws, sometimes great flaws, the new heroes accomplished
00:03:16.820 nothing worthwhile at all. They are selected not because of their achievements, but because of their
00:03:22.440 usefulness, their utility to the leftist cultural narrative. Obviously, the George Floyd murals and
00:03:29.340 statues are the prime example of this. And also this. Indiana University proudly announces on their
00:03:35.120 website today, quote, a new bronze sculpture memorializing Alfred C. Kinsey's significant and
00:03:41.680 enduring contributions to Indiana University now sits on the Bloomington campus, marking the 75th
00:03:46.980 anniversary of the institute that bears his name. Kinsey revolutionized the scientific study of sexual
00:03:52.380 behavior and provoked an international conversation about sexuality. He founded the Kinsey Institute,
00:03:58.440 the world's leading sexuality research institute, in 1947. The life-size bronze is the work of
00:04:04.820 Melanie Cooper Pennington, a lecturer in sculpture, in sculpture in the IU School of Art and Architecture
00:04:10.860 Design. The sculpture's installation on the Bloomington campus demonstrates the university's pride and the
00:04:15.880 living legacy of research and academic freedom Kinsey helped to forge and the institute's ongoing
00:04:20.740 commitment to equity regarding sexual diversity established by Kinsey's research.
00:04:27.880 Equity regarding sexual diversity. Well, that's one way to put it. The other way to put it is that
00:04:32.760 Alfred Kinsey was a deviant lunatic and a pedophile who enjoyed researching, quote, unquote, the orgasms of 1.00
00:04:40.800 children and babies. The notorious Table 34 from the book Sexual Behavior in the Human Male documents the 0.99
00:04:47.860 number of orgasms allegedly experienced by children from the ages of 15 down to five months old. And he acquired
00:04:56.100 this information by working with rapists who would abuse children, keep a journal about the experience, and then
00:05:03.980 report back to Kinsey. So in other words, he enlisted pedophiles to rape kids so that he could get the data he 0.97
00:05:10.840 wanted. And why did he want this data? Well, because he wished to prove that children are sexual beings from 0.98
00:05:17.140 birth. And that all forms of sexual activity, literally all forms, including pedophilia, bestiality, all of
00:05:23.220 it, are legitimate. Now, you can learn more about this in my film, What is a Woman? And where we discuss 0.61
00:05:29.980 in more length, Alfred Kinsey and also John Money. But this is the man that Indiana University honors with
00:05:37.580 his own statue. He was the most prolific groomer of the 20th century. There's a reason that the left still
00:05:43.600 celebrates him today. But of course, calling them groomers is hate speech. I mean, they're making
00:05:48.560 statues to Alfred Kinsey, but calling them groomers is hate speech. Yet it's not just child raping 0.96
00:05:54.060 psychopaths who we're being told to honor this week. There are also slave traders. We mustn't forget 0.99
00:05:58.920 about them. Well, only certain historical slave traders are worthy of our admiration, specifically the
00:06:06.220 ones whose story is being told in a major Hollywood film, which is set to premiere this coming Friday.
00:06:11.260 The movie is called The Woman King. And the absurdity of the title, The Woman King, is really
00:06:18.380 the least of its problems, so we don't even have time to talk about that. The official description
00:06:21.920 on Rotten Tomatoes tells us this. The Woman King is the remarkable story of the Agogi, the all-female 1.00
00:06:28.320 unit of warriors who protected the African kingdom of Tahome in the 1800s with skills and a fierceness
00:06:34.960 unlike anything the world has ever seen. Inspired by true events, The Woman King follows the 0.88
00:06:39.720 emotionally epic journey of General Nanaseka as she trains the next generation of recruits and
00:06:45.260 readies them for battle against an enemy determined to destroy their way of life. We'll have a little
00:06:50.420 bit more on their way of life and what exactly that way of life was in just a second, but here's a
00:06:54.800 little bit of the trailer. Watch.
00:06:58.340 An evil is coming. That threatens our kingdom. Our freedom. But we have a weapon. They are not prepared
00:07:20.800 for. My king, the Europeans wish to conquer us. They will not stop until the whole of Africa 1.00
00:07:34.540 is theirs. We must fight back for our people.
00:07:41.540 Han is gone. You are asking me to take them to war. War. 1.00
00:07:49.540 You are called to join the king's guard. No kingdom in all of Africa shares this privilege. Train
00:07:56.540 hard, fight harder. We fear no one. And we fear no pain. We fear no pain. We fear no pain.
00:08:16.540 Take me away. I offer you a choice. Fight or we die.
00:08:29.540 Now, to be clear, this film is about as historically accurate as, like, the Power Rangers, but we'll get
00:08:37.040 back to that in a second. It's, of course, a foregone conclusion that this movie will be critically
00:08:41.600 acclaimed. It has to be. I mean, it's essentially a matter of law, or might as well be, at this point,
00:08:46.120 that a story about female African warriors killing Europeans must be praised in the most rapturous 1.00
00:08:52.060 terms possible. Any critic who dares to utter a critique or whose applause is judged to be lacking
00:08:57.580 in enthusiasm will be branded a racist and a sexist. And they'll probably throw transphobe and homophobe in 0.94
00:09:03.680 for good measure also. Mainstream film critics who, as a group, are some of the most pathetic cowards in all 1.00
00:09:11.040 of media, which is really, really saying something. Certainly got the memo about this. Reviews of the 0.96
00:09:16.420 film were released on Sunday, and The Woman King now boasts a 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
00:09:22.660 If it keeps going at this pace, which it probably will, it will go down as one of the most best
00:09:26.540 reviewed films of all time. Right now, it's ahead of, like, Citizen Kane and The Godfather in terms of
00:09:32.820 its reviews. Critics are saying things like, The Woman King is a sturdy, rousing piece of studio
00:09:39.740 entertainment that makes both the new feel old and the old feel new. Then also, thrilling and
00:09:45.460 enrapturing, emotionally beautiful and spiritually buoyant, The Woman King isn't just an uplifting
00:09:50.280 battle cry. It's the movie that director Prince Bythewood has been building toward her entire career.
00:09:56.320 And then, fierce, furious, and feminine. An action picture that isn't so much released as unleashed.
00:10:03.820 Talk about a movie of its moment.
00:10:06.500 Another critic adds that the movie is so spectacular, so perfect, so wonderful, so miraculous and
00:10:11.260 beautiful, he's planning to jump out of a window as soon as he submits his review, having decided
00:10:15.780 that his life has reached its pinnacle and there's no point of living anymore. It's all downhill from
00:10:19.800 here. Another one said that watching the movie was more glorious than seeing the birth of his own
00:10:24.980 children. And in fact, after watching the movie, he wishes that his children had not been born
00:10:29.360 because they're white. Now, admittedly, I made up the last two reviews, but they're not very far 0.86
00:10:35.240 from what the critics are actually saying. All of this, in spite of the fact that the kingdom of
00:10:41.340 Dahomey, who are the heroes of this movie, were ruthless killers and slave traders who conquered and 0.99
00:10:48.840 murdered in pursuit of slaves, which were then used as labor within the kingdom or sold to buyers
00:10:53.940 outside of the kingdom. As the Encyclopedia Britannica notes, before they edit this passage,
00:10:59.860 which I'm sure they will, the kingdom was not just that they had slaves. The kingdom was
00:11:04.860 fundamentally organized around war and slavery. That's what the whole thing was about.
00:11:10.660 Quote, Dahomey was organized for war, not only to expand its boundaries, but also to take captives 0.65
00:11:15.120 as slaves. Slaves were either sold to the Europeans in exchange for weapons or kept to work the
00:11:19.760 royal plantations that supplied food for the army and court. From approximately 1680, a regular census
00:11:25.880 of population was taken as a basis for military conscription. Female soldiers, called Amazons by 1.00
00:11:30.640 the Europeans, served as royal bodyguards when not in combat. So the transatlantic slave trade
00:11:37.400 could only exist because it was furnished by Dahomey along with other tribes and kingdoms.
00:11:45.240 This is one of the little known inconvenient facts about African slavery that we've talked about
00:11:49.080 before on the show. It was a system supported, encouraged, promoted, facilitated by Africans 0.99
00:11:56.000 themselves. Now, in Dahomey's case, I should be fair, I guess, and admit that they didn't always
00:12:03.540 sell their captives into slavery. Sometimes they would, instead of selling them, butcher them
00:12:09.120 in human sacrifice rituals. Human sacrifices were killed for various rituals to honor kings,
00:12:15.320 and then also there were other forms of human sacrifices like the concubines of a king would 0.56
00:12:20.520 be killed and buried with him when he died. Those sorts of things. Now, naturally, all indications
00:12:25.840 are this movie does not really grapple with any of these unfortunate historical realities. On the
00:12:31.060 contrary, they paint the female warriors of Dahomey as freedom fighters. According to one review I read,
00:12:39.460 they do acknowledge that the kingdom had slaves, but they pretend that the woman warriors were
00:12:44.160 abolitionists, that they were pushing for the end of the slave trade, which is pure fiction, of course.
00:12:50.620 Actually, not only is it fiction, but the slave trade only ended in the kingdom of Dahomey because
00:12:57.620 British blockades forced it to end. Here's another inconvenient fact. Europeans abolished the slave trade
00:13:06.600 above the objections of many African and Middle Eastern nations.
00:13:13.060 So Europeans said, you're not doing this. None of us are doing slave trade anymore. It's done.
00:13:18.720 While many African and Middle Eastern nations said, no, we want to keep doing the slave thing because 1.00
00:13:22.780 it's profitable to us.
00:13:23.960 Now, as for the woman warriors of Dahomey, they were easily crushed in their first military 0.76
00:13:30.880 engagement with the French. And that was the end of that story. Now, look, there's nothing on the
00:13:38.260 surface wrong with, you know, making a movie that fictionalizes historical events. But it is
00:13:44.440 unthinkable, of course, that anything like this could ever be produced, much less receive rave reviews
00:13:50.860 if the roles were flipped around. Imagine a Civil War movie where the Confederates are not only the
00:13:57.280 heroes of the film, but are portrayed as the true abolitionists. You know, that's just, that movie
00:14:04.280 could not possibly exist. And if it did exist, there would be literal riots in the street. I mean,
00:14:10.520 it's not an exaggeration to say there would be riots. Buildings would be burning if a movie like that
00:14:15.200 was, it came out. Any theater that was crazy enough to play it would be burned to the ground. 1.00
00:14:23.300 Except that wouldn't even be on par with this film because the Confederates were not nearly as brutal
00:14:28.800 as the Kingdom of Dahomey was. But this is all a part of our cultural rewrite of history.
00:14:37.060 You know, some men who had slaves were bad, no matter what else they did. Thomas Jefferson,
00:14:42.520 George Washington, no matter what else they did. Even as the founders of our country,
00:14:48.780 they had slaves, so we got to tear down their statues. They were scumbags. That's it. 1.00
00:14:53.300 While other people who organized their whole societies around the capture,
00:14:57.800 sale, and ritualistic murder of slaves were good and deserving of their own hagiographical films.
00:15:05.360 So once again, our culture designates new heroes for us. And those new heroes might be criminals,
00:15:13.380 drug addicts, child rapists, even slave traders. Not much to admire there, but we're told to 0.95
00:15:20.620 admire them all the same. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:15:25.640 Well, these data breaches just keep coming. This one is regional, but it's big, and it
00:15:37.220 includes social security numbers. Nelnet Servicing, a technology service company used by Oklahoma Student
00:15:43.040 Loan Authority and Ed Financial, announced a breach affecting 2.5 million student borrowers.

00:16:40.740 Well, yesterday was, of course, the 21st anniversary of 9-11. Each year that we move farther away from it,
00:16:48.200 the more it becomes, especially for my kids' generation and Gen Z, an historical event,
00:16:55.760 which is kind of strange to think about for those of us who live through it. It's very strange to
00:17:01.480 consider that when our twins are born, our latest set of twins anyway, 9-11 will be farther away from
00:17:07.860 them than the moon landing was for me when I was born. And the moon landing always felt like ancient
00:17:14.660 history to me from the first moment I learned about it. It felt like it might as well have been 600
00:17:19.420 years ago. And it's sort of sad to reflect on that for a few reasons. First, it's sad to reflect
00:17:23.900 on just how far back the moon landing was, not only because we really haven't done anything else with
00:17:29.240 manned space exploration since then, but also because the moon landing was the last, so far as I can
00:17:36.200 think, was the last truly great moment of national celebration that this country has had. The last
00:17:44.520 one was in 1969. We haven't had another one. It's hard to think of any moment since then when the whole
00:17:50.780 country together celebrated something, a landmark occasion where we all celebrated. We've had landmark
00:17:59.160 occasions since then, but every landmark occasion since the moon landing, and especially in my own life,
00:18:04.640 has been bad. The times that you can think of, big news events that you remember years after the
00:18:12.540 fact, Columbine, 9-11, the Iraq war, those sorts of things. So that's a very tragic thing, and it
00:18:19.040 actually helps explain why my generation and generations after mine have sort of turned out
00:18:23.280 the way they have. As for 9-11, it's sad to think of how long ago it was, not because it's something we
00:18:28.900 want to relive, obviously, but because the farther we move away from 9-11, the farther we move
00:18:34.180 from pre-9-11 America, and pre-9-11 was simply a different world in a lot of ways, a different
00:18:41.480 country, and I think a better one in nearly every way. The country we all knew, the lives we knew
00:18:48.480 fell with the towers. That's the truth, and these are all things that I think are worth reflecting on,
00:18:55.080 but these are not the things that the current regime wants us to reflect on or think about
00:18:59.960 on 9-11. Instead, they want us to think about the new enemy, you know, the new al-Qaeda, which is even
00:19:07.020 worse than the old al-Qaeda, and we're not talking about a new al-Qaeda in Afghanistan, the Middle East,
00:19:14.020 but no, right here in this country, because the new enemy is you and me. As Biden made clear in a not-so-subtle
00:19:22.300 way in his 9-11 speech. Let's listen to this. It's not enough to gather and remember each September
00:19:27.560 11th those we lost more than two decades ago, because on this day, it is not about the past,
00:19:35.960 it's about the future. We have an obligation, a duty, a responsibility to defend, preserve,
00:19:43.540 and protect our democracy, the very democracy that guarantees the rights of freedom that those
00:19:49.520 terrorists, the 9-11, sought to bury in the burning fire and smoke and ash.
00:19:56.740 Now, if you didn't know any better, if you maybe had been stranded at sea on a desert island or
00:20:03.060 something since the actual 9-11, and you heard that from the president, you might think, okay,
00:20:11.360 well, that's fine. You know, he's talking about defending democracy and freedom, pretty standard
00:20:17.200 political boilerplate stuff, you might think, except we know what he actually means when he
00:20:23.700 talks about the threat to democracy, because we know in context, every other time he's talked about
00:20:29.020 that, what's actually meant. And he's made clear what that threat is and who it is. Kamala Harris on 9-11,
00:20:35.860 I think, was even more explicit about this. Let's listen to that.
00:20:38.300 Look, we're at the 21st marking, if you will, of the September 11th attacks.
00:20:44.220 This was a foreign terrorist attacking our democracy, attacking this country. 1.00
00:20:50.020 We're now, as a nation, battling a threat from within. Is the threat
00:20:53.800 equal or greater than what we faced after 9-11?
00:20:57.640 That's an interesting question. I have held many elected offices as district attorney,
00:21:06.020 attorney general, senator, now vice president. And there's an oath that we always take,
00:21:10.480 which is to defend and uphold our constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
00:21:18.640 And we don't compare the two in the oath, but we know they both can exist and we must defend against it.
00:21:30.520 Well, the correct answer to that is no. I mean, he's saying the threat from
00:21:35.500 domestic enemies to the constitution, meaning MAGA Republicans, meaning, you know, half of the country,
00:21:42.580 if not more, is it on par with the threat of, you know, the terrorist pose on 9-11?
00:21:50.640 Now, Kamala Harris stops herself from saying, oh yeah, it's definitely on par.
00:21:55.140 She doesn't need to say it. Because this is what the left and the media have been saying
00:21:58.900 for the last two years. That January 6th was just like 9-11, or in fact, even worse than 9-11.
00:22:06.960 You could go through, no reason for me to do it, you can go through on Twitter, go look at clips
00:22:12.940 from cable news, many examples of people on the left saying that actually January 6th was worse
00:22:19.200 than 9-11. But then the anniversary of 9-11 comes along and we see the remembrances and you see again
00:22:28.300 the footage of the planes flying in to the towers. And if it wasn't already clear to you how absurd
00:22:35.360 that claim is, just seeing the visual again. Like, just compare the visual, the experience
00:22:43.800 of watching passenger jets fly into skyscrapers in America's largest city. Almost 3,000 people killed.
00:22:56.220 And then on the other hand, there's the experience of watching a bunch of yahoos walk around the 1.00
00:23:00.880 Capitol and take selfies at Nancy Pelosi's desk. I mean, how could those things be compared? Well,
00:23:09.180 they could be compared by the left because, you know, these are soulless propagandists and
00:23:15.700 they're trying to demonize their political opponents. So that's part of it, obviously.
00:23:20.840 The other part of it also is that from the perspective of the elites, from the perspective
00:23:26.580 of Democrats in Congress, them being scared and traumatized on January 6th was far worse
00:23:38.920 than 3,000 people dying. Because their own lives and their own comfort is simply worth more than the
00:23:47.080 lives of countless people. As far as they're concerned, they equal like the lives of each of
00:23:53.220 them individually equal the lives of maybe 50,000 people. Hillary Clinton was there also on 9-11 to
00:24:01.380 bring all this home. For anyone not catching the winks and nudges, here she is being, I think,
00:24:05.980 the most explicit of all about it. What's going through your mind today, 21 years later?
00:24:13.420 Well, Dana, every time we approach September 11th, I do think about everything that I saw,
00:24:21.580 all the people that I met, the families of those who lost loved ones. So it is indelibly part of my
00:24:30.980 memories. And I feel grateful that we were able to come together as a country at that really terrible
00:24:40.620 time. We put aside differences. I wish we could find ways of doing that again. We rebuilt New York.
00:24:48.420 We have done our best to take care of the families that lost so much on that terrible day. And we have
00:24:57.680 also, I think, been reminded about how important it is to try to deal with extremism of any kind,
00:25:09.480 especially when it uses violence to try to achieve political and ideological goals.
00:25:18.140 So I'm one who thinks that there are lessons still to be learned from what happened to us on 9-11 that
00:25:25.520 we should be very aware of during this time in our country and the world's history.
00:25:30.820 So she starts by saying, and I really can't stand listening to these people talk anymore about
00:25:39.400 the unity after 9-11. And that's something that people still reminisce fondly about on the right
00:25:50.960 and the left. Well, why can't we be united like we were after 9-11? First of all,
00:25:57.040 it should be clear to everyone by now that that unity was an aberration. I remember it too.
00:26:06.640 I remember the feeling. I was a kid. I was in high school. But I remember the feeling
00:26:11.600 for a very fleeting moment in time when everyone was united. And the next day, people were flying
00:26:19.200 the American flags and singing the anthem and all that kind of stuff. There were a lot of patriotic
00:26:25.480 displays going on. But the reason why it was so fleeting is because it wasn't real. It was just
00:26:30.680 people caught up in the emotions of the moment. If the unity was real, if there was actual unity,
00:26:38.040 like we were coming together around something real. We had all of a sudden some kind of shared
00:26:45.000 value system. Which, you know, the reason we don't have unity in this country is that we don't have
00:26:51.260 a shared value system. And you're not going to suddenly come up with a shared value system
00:26:56.100 because of a tragedy. That's not how it works. But if it was real unity, then it wouldn't have
00:27:01.660 dissipated as quickly as it formed, which it did. But I especially can't stomach hearing it from
00:27:09.460 people like Hillary Clinton, Democrats. I remember the unity after 9-11.
00:27:18.800 So you want unity and this is your way of doing it? Immediately after talking about the unity and
00:27:24.080 how much she wants unity, immediately after doing that, she equates half of the country with 0.97
00:27:28.420 al-Qaeda terrorists flying planes into buildings. That's the kind of unity she wants.
00:27:34.360 And in a way, it's true. I mean, they do, on the left, they do want unity in a sense.
00:27:43.700 But they want unity in the form of submission. They want you to submit to them and then we can
00:27:51.820 be unified like that. On a bit of a lighter note, more news from the regime. Here's Kamala Harris. 0.99
00:27:59.040 We always enjoy these clips. Here she is babbling nonsensically again.
00:28:04.620 Today, the business of our work is for the council to report on the work that has occurred
00:28:12.320 since our last meeting across these areas. We will today also discuss the work yet ahead,
00:28:21.040 the work we must still do to continue to move forward.
00:28:24.960 Have you noticed what she does in these clips? Because I love this move. It's the tell. You
00:28:30.480 can always tell that the Kamala bot is about to go on the fritz and start malfunctioning because
00:28:36.240 here's what she does. She nods like she's agreeing with her own statement. And that's what she does
00:28:42.960 when she's on the verge of launching into some nonsensical ramble. Watch. She always does that.
00:28:49.880 So she'll go, today, the business of our work is to work on the ways we work and together to work
00:29:02.560 as people who work. And we will work on working and continue to work and work in the future
00:29:11.020 on the work yet ahead and the work still to do and the work we must do in the future.
00:29:19.880 Because the work's not complete. This is the format. She begins with the nod.
00:29:26.100 Like she thinks she can trick us. It's like this, she thinks she can trick us into agreeing with
00:29:30.620 whatever nonsense she's about to spew by nodding that way, right? And then at the end of the ramble,
00:29:35.780 she always ends, always, by restating a certain phrase in four different ways.
00:29:42.040 The work still to do, the work yet to come, and the work in the future.
00:29:46.060 That's the format. All right. So Ron DeSantis gave a speech at the National Conservatism
00:29:54.680 Conference this week, this weekend, rather. Some of his remarks, well, all of them really,
00:29:59.500 but one portion in particular has both leftists and libertarians in a bit of a tizzy about this.
00:30:05.000 So here's someone with Reason Magazine on Twitter reporting on one portion of DeSantis' speech.
00:30:11.660 This is Stephanie Slade, who says, some of these, quoting DeSantis, some of these big companies are
00:30:17.800 now exercising quasi-public power, DeSantis says, the latest example of a trend in which conservatives
00:30:23.420 conflate private actions with government coercion. Wow. DeSantis says large businesses aren't really
00:30:30.220 private and thus don't have First Amendment rights because they're doing the bidding of the regime.
00:30:36.120 So I saw many other quotes and clips from that portion of his speech, and the whole speech,
00:30:42.800 by the way, was excellent. But the point he's actually trying to make, and it's a very good
00:30:47.820 point, and it's something that Republicans need to start talking about more openly.
00:30:53.880 And it's a, now, libertarians might lament it and mourn it, but it's a good sign that Republicans
00:31:01.040 more and more are getting away from this kind of reflexive defense of corporations. That was a
00:31:07.540 problem among Republicans for decades. They felt they had to reflexively defend any corporation that
00:31:14.200 comes under attack or criticism, because in order to defend the free market, you have to defend all
00:31:20.020 the big corporations. And it was also a response to, on the left, where they're demonizing anyone who's
00:31:26.880 wealthy or any big corporation and the millionaires and billionaires. And so it was kind of a, it was a
00:31:31.440 reaction to that as well. But the point he's making about the big corporations, it's more nuanced than
00:31:37.620 the criticism of big corporations that you hear from the Bernie Sanders types. The point that he's
00:31:43.200 making is that the big corporations, specifically big tech, often work as an arm of the government. So
00:31:50.900 if the government realizes that it can't do something constitutionally, not that that usually stops the
00:31:57.000 government from doing what it wants, but if it feels that it can't get away with doing a particular
00:32:00.800 thing, then it will go to the big tech monopoly, which again, functions as an arm of the regime and
00:32:10.060 say, well, we can't do this, so we need you to do it. Perfect example is what we heard from Mark Zuckerberg.
00:32:16.480 You know, they wanted to, the inconvenience
00:32:24.700 revelations about Hunter Biden's laptop. Now, the government couldn't come and like start arresting
00:32:34.000 people if they post about Hunter Biden's laptop. The FBI couldn't come and start arresting you for
00:32:38.640 that. And it might get to the point where they'll do something like that and be more open about it.
00:32:43.280 But at the time, they felt like they couldn't really do that. They were being constrained,
00:32:48.240 like it or not, and they didn't like it. They were being constrained by the First Amendment. So
00:32:51.460 they went to Facebook and said, we need you guys to take this stuff down because, oh, just call it
00:32:55.400 misinformation. It's not really misinformation, but take it down anyway. So this is the way of,
00:33:02.800 this is, this is the way that the tyrants sidestep the constitution is by getting their allies,
00:33:08.460 their functionaries in big tech to do it for them.
00:33:15.180 That's what DeSantis is pointing out. That's the workaround that is unacceptable and Republicans
00:33:22.320 need to start talking about and need to talk about plans. What are we going to do to stop that?
00:33:29.100 Moving on to this, the crime wave isn't just hitting the continental United States. Here's a report,
00:33:33.700 I want to play some of this out of Hawaii about the crime over there. Let's watch.
00:33:40.700 Just six weeks ago, a thief assaulted and maced a longtime employee of Casey Market,
00:33:46.380 leaving the elderly woman's eyes burning and injuring her back. But the incident was just the
00:33:51.940 beginning of a series of thefts, including a burglary this morning at the 40-year-old neighborhood store.
00:33:57.620 They live in trepidation and fear every day now. It's not safe for them. These people prey on the elderly.
00:34:04.900 Over the past several months, the owners of Casey Market says crime has exploded in the Kalihi area.
00:34:10.920 Roy Chang's parents, who asked not to be identified, have run the mom and pop shop peacefully for years.
00:34:16.920 The couple know most of their neighbors and customers by name.
00:34:20.080 I come back. Yes. Okay. You know, all the kids from the elementary come over here, grab musubis and
00:34:26.200 get all the drinks. And it's convenient for all of us. All the crimes is really sad. And then it's
00:34:31.440 affecting, you know, everybody, not only the stores, but the neighborhood too. One of the most disturbing
00:34:36.680 aspects of this trend, this crime wave, which again, affects not just the continental United States,
00:34:42.560 but all the way out in Hawaii as well, is that so often the elderly are targets of it,
00:34:46.680 which is, I suppose, not a surprise. They're vulnerable and can be easily overpowered. And so
00:34:52.320 these criminal, deviant, degenerate psychopaths and sociopaths, you know, they don't care. 1.00
00:34:58.760 They're going to, you know, go after the weakest person that they can. Which is why, 1.00
00:35:07.760 talk about things that we should be discussing. One of the things driving this crisis is the fact
00:35:13.720 that we are producing as a society, so many people who are utterly indifferent to human life, 0.96
00:35:21.840 indifferent to the suffering that they'll cause, indifferent altogether. They just don't care.
00:35:29.380 This is why I've always said that instead of making a special case out of hate crimes,
00:35:34.040 we hear so much about hate crimes, we should be focusing on indifferent crimes.
00:35:37.920 Crimes of indifference. Crimes motivated by hate aren't as bad as crimes motivated by indifference.
00:35:54.620 I mean, they're terrible. But on one hand, you have a person driven by hate. And on the other hand,
00:36:02.220 you have someone who's driven by being totally empty and hollow inside without even the energy to hate.
00:36:07.920 Now, the person driven by hate, there's something, there's like some hope there, maybe.
00:36:14.700 Okay, you want to talk about rehabilitation. Maybe that's someone who could be,
00:36:17.620 well, they need to be punished severely. But maybe that's someone, if it's hate that's inside their
00:36:22.980 heart, then maybe that's something that you can, you could take that, that's something you could
00:36:27.820 grab onto. And maybe there's hope for that person. You can rehabilitate them. You can,
00:36:34.760 you know, they could see the error in their ways.
00:36:38.120 Maybe. But someone who just doesn't care at all.
00:36:44.800 There's no concern whatsoever for other people.
00:36:48.460 Their violence is motivated. And they're not even, a lot of this, you know, the crime that you saw
00:36:52.640 there, woman gets, elderly woman is maced. Guy takes something out of the cash register.
00:36:58.280 Is he desperate and starving? Not that that would make it okay, but he's not even desperate. These
00:37:04.120 people are basically comfortable. They don't even need what they're stealing. They're just doing it
00:37:09.140 because. That's an even bigger challenge when you have people like that. When you have a whole society
00:37:15.600 full of people like that, then you have true chaos, which is what we're dealing with now.
00:37:21.380 All right. BYU has finally released the results of its investigation into the phantom N-word shouted
00:37:28.320 by an invisible person at a volleyball game. This is the, you know, the incident that was talked
00:37:35.400 about quite a bit on ESPN. And Stephen A. Smith was shouting about it. And LeBron James was talking
00:37:40.400 about it. A bunch of athletes, celebrities, ESPN, they were all over this story. But now that we have
00:37:45.820 the conclusion of the story, this is how this generally works. They jump on the bandwagon at
00:37:51.300 the very beginning when all we have is a claim that somebody made. And then when the claim is
00:37:57.420 actually investigated and now we have the result, that's when they, that's when the media jumps off.
00:38:01.240 They're not interested anymore. So here's what BYU, this is the statement they released.
00:38:07.500 As part of our commitment to take any claims of racism seriously, BYU has completed its investigation
00:38:12.200 into the allegation that racial heckling and slurs took place at the Duke versus BYU women's volleyball
00:38:17.380 match on August 26th. We reviewed all available video and audio recordings, including security
00:38:22.500 footage and raw footage from all camera angles taken by BYU TV of the match with broadcasting audio
00:38:27.720 removed to ensure that the noise from the stands could be heard more clearly. We also reached out to
00:38:32.580 more than 50 individuals who attended the event, Duke athletic department personnel and student
00:38:37.000 athletes, BYU athletic department personnel and student athletes, event security and management and fans
00:38:41.880 who were in the arena that evening, including many of the fans in the on-court student section.
00:38:46.880 From our extensive review, we have not found any evidence to corroborate the allegation that fans
00:38:51.300 engaged in racial heckling or uttered racial slurs at the event. As we stated earlier, we would not
00:38:56.660 tolerate any conduct that would make a student athlete feel unsafe. That's the reason for our
00:39:00.660 immediate response and our thorough investigation. As a result of our investigation, we have lifted the
00:39:05.380 ban on the fan who was identified as having uttered racial slurs during the match. We have not found any
00:39:10.160 evidence that the individual engaged in such an activity. BYU would sincerely apologize to that
00:39:14.880 fan for any hardship the ban has caused. Oh, BYU sincerely apologizes for the hardship of baselessly
00:39:22.760 labeling this guy a racist. And not just a racist, but somebody who is so suicidally racist, someone who 0.71
00:39:28.620 is so overcome by their hatred for black people that he would sit in the stands and shout the N-word over and 0.99
00:39:37.520 over again, ruining his own life in the process. That's the level of racism that this guy was accused 0.97
00:39:46.360 of. But now BYU apologizes. So they essentially convicted this kid of racism and then after the
00:39:57.680 conviction went back to investigate to see if that really happened and then realized that, oh, this
00:40:01.680 didn't happen at all. And as I said, when this, you know, before the investigation was complete,
00:40:09.440 we talked about it a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, I'll be curious to see what the investigation turns
00:40:15.380 up. And they turned up, you know, nothing because nothing happened. This was entirely invented.
00:40:21.320 But even before seeing the investigation, like if you're going to jump to a conclusion about
00:40:29.100 something like this, it makes the most sense, far and away the most sense to jump to the conclusion
00:40:35.400 that it's made up because these cases are almost always made up. And as I said at the time, if you,
00:40:42.500 if you, if you just have the basic understanding of human nature, you would realize
00:40:47.560 how likely it is that something like this is a hoax.
00:40:55.080 Because we know that there's an enormous social incentive to invent hoaxes like this.
00:41:01.180 But then on the other end of the spectrum, there is no social incentive whatsoever to engage in the
00:41:07.800 behavior that this kid was accused of engaging in. You would have to actually be a lunatic. You would 0.99
00:41:13.960 have to be a suicidal, crazy person to do that, even if you're racist. 1.00
00:41:20.920 Because you are forfeiting your life. You are, you are, you are ruining your life. 1.00
00:41:27.060 Now, is there going to be any accountability? Is ESPN going to come back around and apologize?
00:41:31.660 Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James, of course not. Because again, it goes back to social incentive.
00:41:36.660 There's no incentive. There's no reason why they should apologize or own up to what they did.
00:41:40.560 They jumped on the hoax bandwagon, turned out to be a hoax, and they pretend that never happened and
00:41:47.800 move on to the next thing. Same story repeats over and over and over again. All right. Finally,
00:41:54.580 here's a familiar lecture that we hear a lot on TikTok, but each new rendition adds a new wrinkle.
00:42:00.420 And so this is a TikToker explaining why it's transphobic to not date trans people. You know,
00:42:07.620 if you don't date trans people, then you're transphobic. And he says that this is true, 1.00
00:42:11.620 even if your preference for members of the opposite sex is driven by a desire to have children. He says
00:42:16.580 that's not a good enough excuse. That's not going to let you off the hook. And he explains why here.
00:42:21.860 I disagree with this, and I still think it's harmful to trans people. You can still have biological 1.00
00:42:27.040 children with a trans partner in the same way that like two lesbians can have a biological child. 0.91
00:42:33.680 Two gay men can have a biological child. Yes, it's a lot harder to have biological children when you're
00:42:39.160 not in a cishet relationship, but it's still possible. Is it expensive? Yes. But that's something 0.62
00:42:46.340 that I feel like a lot of people in the LGBT community go through if they want kids. I don't. I 1.00
00:42:51.000 know I'm too poor to have children, but for my LGBT people that do want to have kids and you want a
00:42:58.020 loving partner to have those children with, I feel like you still shouldn't be discriminating against
00:43:03.860 your partner if they're trans when looking for a partner. It still feeds into this stigma that
00:43:09.700 trans people are not their gender when they are. A trans man is a man and a trans female is a female. 1.00
00:43:15.860 It just makes the community more loving and accepting. Okay, just to clarify a few things
00:43:23.480 here. First of all, the idea that you shouldn't discriminate when looking for a partner is
00:43:29.540 obviously nonsensical. The whole process of looking for a partner is a process of discrimination.
00:43:37.600 Because what does discriminate mean? Discriminate means simply to make distinctions, to
00:43:42.860 differentiate. That's all discrimination means. So we all discriminate in our lives every single
00:43:50.480 day. I mean, practically every second of the day you are engaging in, as a thinking person,
00:43:55.800 as a rational agent, you are engaging in discrimination in that you are differentiating,
00:44:02.000 you are recognizing distinctions. It wouldn't be possible to operate in the world if you couldn't do
00:44:06.920 that. And especially when you're deciding on a partner, you're choosing a mate, you're choosing
00:44:12.900 friends, whatever, choosing a job. It is a whole parade of discriminatory decisions that you're
00:44:20.220 making. You're differentiating. You're deciding, I want this, I don't want that. I'm looking for this,
00:44:24.540 I'm not looking for that. Now, what we're being told on TikTok is that you should go into the dating
00:44:30.300 scene with no preferences at all, period. You're just walking in blind and you'll take the first
00:44:37.380 person that you stumble across. It doesn't matter who it is. It makes no difference to you.
00:44:42.740 Another thing to clarify is that two men cannot have a biological child together. Neither can two
00:44:48.820 women. Even if a gay couple has all the money in the world, it's not just that it's expensive, 1.00
00:44:55.280 it's that it's physically impossible. Now, a man can combine his sperm with a woman's egg, 0.98
00:44:59.980 and create a baby in a petri dish. But then it's not the gay couple's biological child. It's the 0.99
00:45:06.540 biological couple of one of the gay guys along with some random woman. So same goes the other 0.91
00:45:13.080 way with lesbians. It's not possible. Two men cannot have a biological child. It's impossible. 1.00
00:45:18.840 And I want you to really think about the fact that I need to explain this. I need to explain.
00:45:22.840 It actually needs to be explained that two men can't make a baby.
00:45:26.800 It needs to be explained to a person who looks to be an adult or nearly an adult and probably is
00:45:34.680 educated. Still, we need to explain that two men cannot make a baby. He also says it's transphobic
00:45:41.780 to not date trans people. This, again, is something we hear a lot now. The correct answer to that charge 1.00
00:45:46.520 is okay. And? I mean, if that's how you define transphobia, you can define it however you want.
00:45:53.900 You made up this stupid term, so I guess it's up to you to define. And fine, that's cool. 0.99
00:46:00.740 If you're saying that transphobia is when someone doesn't want to date a trans person, then okay, 1.00
00:46:05.200 then I'm a transphobic. That's fine.
00:46:06.640 What? What, you're admitting? Yeah. Sure. That's all you have to do with these kinds of
00:46:14.520 charges when they're made against you. That is the one sure way to disarm the person who's coming
00:46:21.580 after you. Because once you accept that, wow, that's transphobic. All right, fine. Then it's
00:46:27.680 transphobic. So are you admitting you're a transphobic? Yes. Well, but that's, you kidded. That's not
00:46:33.800 good. Okay. Well, that's your opinion. I just really wish, if I had a hundred billion dollars
00:46:41.360 to start my own social media site, I'll tell you what I would do. I would de-platform people
00:46:49.300 and ban them purely on the basis of being stupid. That's the kind of de-platforming that I would like 1.00
00:46:55.280 to see. If you are this damned stupid that you think, for example, two men can have babies, 1.00
00:47:01.800 putting ideology aside for a moment. If you are that level of stupid, you don't get to be on any 1.00
00:47:07.020 platform. That's it. You shouldn't have access to an audience. Just think about that. There are 1.00
00:47:13.860 people who are this stupid and yet they have an audience that they can, that they're offering 1.00
00:47:19.560 guidance to and advice. You shouldn't be speaking to thousands or millions of people if you're the, 1.00
00:47:26.640 one of the dumbest people on planet Earth. If I had the ability, that's how I would de-platform 0.99
00:47:33.840 people. Let's get now to the comment section.
00:47:38.260 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day. We're the sweet baby gang.
00:47:45.540 Hope you had a good weekend, by the way. Mine was quiet. My wife and kids were out of town, so
00:47:54.420 I really went crazy, cut loose, got a little wild. You know how it goes. I finished a book I'd been
00:48:01.960 reading and I watched a documentary and then I was in bed by nine. That's how I spent my time,
00:48:08.500 my freedom. Oh, and I did some research on what sort of freshwater fish worked best in a 75-gallon
00:48:14.340 community tank. So that was about two hours of entertainment in between the book and the
00:48:17.720 documentary. That's my life. That's who I am. It's a sad state of affairs, but at least my aquarium
00:48:23.020 will be pretty great. I also noticed somewhere in the midst of all this, I checked Twitter briefly
00:48:29.480 and I was trending for, I don't even know why. I checked because someone texted me and said,
00:48:36.440 well, why are you trending on Twitter? I said, I am. I don't know. I haven't even been on.
00:48:40.220 And I went and looked and I honestly couldn't tell why I was. I just knew that if I'm trending,
00:48:44.820 it's never because people are saying nice things about me. I've never been trending because everyone
00:48:48.640 is, there's never been a day. It was like, let's all say nice things about Matt Walsh today. Let's
00:48:52.460 make him feel good. Never been trending for that reason. It's always because people on the left are
00:48:56.800 upset or whatever. It's always something like that. And I gotta tell you, it's somewhat freeing.
00:49:02.440 The fact that the Pitchfork mob exists almost entirely on the internet.
00:49:09.180 There's just a certain comfort, a certain freedom in knowing that I can go and look at my phone and
00:49:14.320 say, oh, a bunch of people on the left are upset. I have no idea why. They're all talking about me.
00:49:19.180 They're upset. I don't care. Just put the phone down and get back to the book you're reading.
00:49:24.480 To know that there are a bunch of people out there attacking you and talking about you and saying
00:49:30.720 how upset they are. And you're not even paying attention to it. You're off somewhere else
00:49:38.560 completely. That's kind of nice. Jeff says, Matt, you never explained why you support the woke NFL.
00:49:45.620 You rail against woke corporations and then go on and on about your favorite NFL team.
00:49:49.940 I support you on most things, but this seems like a blind spot. Well, I don't think it's accurate to
00:49:54.480 say I go on and on about it. I think I mentioned football and the fact that I'm a Ravens fan
00:49:57.700 once a year or something, if that often. It came up a lot during the fantasy draft with
00:50:04.700 Cranian Company, but that's just because I'm bad at drafting and all I did was draft Ravens players,
00:50:08.860 which is why I ended up with nine total fantasy points this weekend. And also why I'm going to
00:50:13.920 end up being the one who has to go to a WNBA game, which I have to admit is maybe the funniest
00:50:18.940 outcome. So not that I want to go, but as someone who can appreciate a fun trolling thing,
00:50:25.900 I do admit that that is kind of funny, even if I'm the one who has to suffer through it.
00:50:29.760 As for the NFL, it seems to me that they've, first of all, dialed way back on the political stuff.
00:50:35.960 They responded to the fan outcry in that way. Fans didn't want it. They dialed back,
00:50:41.260 not because they wanted to, but because they had no choice. Also, the players aren't generally woke.
00:50:47.120 Now, some are, but there are a lot of conservatives. There are a lot of outspoken Christians,
00:50:51.560 actually, in the NFL. So this is kind of a misconception. It's not all professional
00:50:55.440 athletes as a group are woke. Now, you get a lot of that in the NBA, a lot of that in the WNBA,
00:51:02.080 if you can call them professional athletes. Not as much in football, actually. Also, the product that
00:51:08.600 they're putting out is not woke. It's not like Disney putting out a product meant to indoctrinate
00:51:14.400 people, especially kids. The product that the NFL puts out is football. It's a game. There's
00:51:19.420 nothing leftist about the game itself. Now, sure, the company makes woke gestures from time to time,
00:51:24.640 but if you're saying that we should boycott any company that even gestures in that direction,
00:51:33.140 I can respect that. I can respect that point of view. I can respect that if you actually put it
00:51:38.140 into action, but putting it into action means that you certainly aren't going to be using any
00:51:42.880 streaming service except for the Daily Wire. You can't be watching any movies by any Hollywood
00:51:48.000 production companies at all, or going to any retail stores, or using an iPhone, or any other
00:51:55.720 smartphone, or any internet provider. Now, if that's how you're living, I really do respect it.
00:52:03.920 I don't know how you're communicating with me right now, if that is how you're living, but
00:52:07.120 I respect that if that's what you're doing. I somewhat doubt it, though, which doesn't mean
00:52:13.800 that we as conservatives shouldn't boycott any companies at all. We talked about this last week.
00:52:18.520 I'm fully in favor of that. It just means we should be a lot more targeted in our boycotts.
00:52:27.860 All right, Matt Hayden says, hey, Matt, just to clarify the Bluey story you were unsure about,
00:52:32.000 it's actually quite the opposite of injecting wokeness. Disney Plus has removed several episodes
00:52:36.360 from the show's catalog, including an episode where Bluey's parents teach her and her sister
00:52:41.260 about teasing because it promoted bullying. The show is charming, beautifully written,
00:52:46.400 and animated, and provides great lessons for kids. As a conservative and Catholic father,
00:52:50.100 I cannot recommend it enough. My wife and I's favorite episode is Sleepy Time, if you want a
00:52:54.020 sample to get an idea of the show's quality. So you're saying that this is an actual anti-woke
00:52:58.800 children show that's popular, that's out there? I will check it out. I will take you up on the
00:53:04.580 recommendation. Scott says, so flannel Friday is actually a thing now. Is this the first time in
00:53:10.120 history Matt didn't stand his ground on such an important issue? No, it's not because I had no
00:53:14.440 ground. I was very clear about that. I had no ground on this whatsoever. I care less about what
00:53:19.420 I wear than almost everyone else, apparently. This is something that everyone else is fighting
00:53:22.500 about. I'm caught in the middle with people literally tearing at my clothes. It's a very disturbing
00:53:27.040 situation to be in. I don't care that much myself. But that is the spirit of flannels
00:53:34.480 in general. It's like you don't wear flannels because you're passionate about flannels.
00:53:38.420 You wear them because it's just something to put on. And it's comfortable. And like I said,
00:53:43.980 you usually don't have to iron it as much. Let's see. Nate says, Matt, in the members portion,
00:53:54.840 you talked about how our culture belittles stay-at-home mothers and mothers in general.
00:53:58.460 My favorite take on this is from G.K. Chesterton from his book, What's Wrong with the World?
00:54:03.080 Quote, it's not difficult to see why the female became the emblem of the universal nature,
00:54:08.620 surrounded her with very young children who are required to be taught so much as anything
00:54:11.980 as everything. Babies need not to be taught a trade, but to be introduced to a world.
00:54:16.540 To put the matter shortly, woman is generally shut up in a house with a human being at the time 1.00
00:54:21.040 when he asks all the questions that there are and some that aren't.
00:54:24.720 How can it be a large career to teach other people's children about the rule of three
00:54:28.800 and a small career to tell one's own children about the universe? How can it be broad to be
00:54:33.920 the same thing to everyone and narrow to be everything to someone? I hope someone reads this
00:54:40.160 and finds it enlightening. Well, I do. But I also somewhat resent when I'm rambling about something
00:54:46.020 and then someone sends me a passage from G.K. Chesterton and says, oh, you know, G.K. Chesterton
00:54:51.460 was talking about the same thing you were talking about. And then it's way better,
00:54:54.320 more eloquent than anything I could ever say. It makes me feel worse. It's harmful to my
00:54:59.180 self-esteem, but I do appreciate it. Although you are banned from the show, of course.
00:55:03.200 We have a big announcement today. Candace Owens is back from maternity leave with a vengeance. 1.00
00:55:07.160 Her brand new show, Candace Owens, launches today at 3 p.m. Central on Daily Wire Plus and will take
00:55:12.360 on the big topics of the day, uncover lies and expose the hypocrisy in news and politics. And you know,
00:55:18.160 it's going to be done in typical Candace style, fearless and resolute. This is everything you love
00:55:22.600 about Candace. Only now she's streaming five days a week. You'll not want to miss her explosive first
00:55:27.400 episode, which premieres today. Trust me when I say this is huge. So check out Candace Owens'
00:55:31.500 podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Daily Wire Plus, or wherever you listen to podcasts. Now let's get
00:55:36.900 to our daily cancellation. Well, a few weeks ago, we told you about a new show on Apple TV called
00:55:45.060 Gutsy. It follows the adventures of Hillary Clinton and Chelsea Clinton as they sit around planning
00:55:50.700 Ghislaine Maxwell's murder in prison. Sorry, that was the show concept that Apple turned down, which is
00:55:55.800 a shame because it would be much better than what they ended up with. The real show documents the
00:55:59.560 Clinton girls as they traipse around the country talking to women who inspire them. Women like Kim
00:56:05.520 Kardashian, Amy Schumer, Wanda Sykes, Gloria Steinem, serial killer Eileen Wuornos. Actually, that last
00:56:13.340 person was executed, which means that Hillary will have to wait a few years to talk to her. Anyway, it is
00:56:17.580 without question, the worst show or film concept that anyone has ever had. I think I can say that.
00:56:24.480 It makes Batgirl look like a good investment by comparison. If you didn't catch the trailer,
00:56:31.140 but, or even if you did, we're going to watch it again. Here it is.
00:56:33.680 We're hitting the road to shine a light on women who inspire us to be bolder and braver.
00:56:40.320 Leadership doesn't look one way.
00:56:42.180 You're not going to break me down.
00:56:43.060 You'll get worn out before I do.
00:56:44.240 I believe in second chances.
00:56:48.780 Every single person makes some impact on the planet every day.
00:56:57.420 We can choose what difference we make.
00:56:59.760 I'm going to live like I've never lived before.
00:57:03.420 Well, we can only assume based on the trailer that the name of the show, Gutsy, is meant
00:57:08.820 to describe the courage required of the viewers who are watching it. And I'm being very generous
00:57:12.920 by saying viewers with an S. Now, we knew that a show starring the likes of Hillary Clinton
00:57:18.040 and Kim Kardashian would, just by its very existence, be brutal and torturous enough as
00:57:22.580 to violate every protocol of the Geneva Convention. But even the darkest imagination could not have
00:57:27.500 anticipated just how bad it would actually be. Because the show has now been released.
00:57:32.120 A fact that comes as news to everyone, just as it will come as news to any residents of
00:57:37.760 Connecticut that your state has a WNBA team, by the way, and it's currently competing in
00:57:41.860 the finals. And I learned that myself this morning when I looked it up so that I could
00:57:45.020 make that joke. Hillary's new show debuted and People.com has a summary of what we're all
00:57:51.700 missing by not watching it. Here's what it says.
00:57:54.580 She might be a champion of gutsy women, but Hillary Clinton doesn't think it should be an act 1.00
00:57:59.180 of courage for women to talk openly about the health and function of their lady parts.
00:58:04.000 As Clinton's gutsy docuseries with daughter Chelsea premieres Friday on Apple TV+, including
00:58:08.620 episodes with Wanda Sykes talking about menopause, and with Megan Thee Stallion talking about her
00:58:14.620 sex-positive WAP, the former Secretary of State recalls her own experience with menopause
00:58:19.040 and that provocative rap. Now, we do have a clip of Hillary's discussion about WAP.
00:58:24.780 Now, believe me, I would like to spare you from having to watch it, but I have no choice.
00:58:29.940 Your own sins have brought you to this crossroads. You must watch as atonement for whatever evil
00:58:35.160 you have done in your life. But before we endure that trauma together, let's hear what
00:58:39.640 Hillary has to say about menopause. This should be at least slightly less devastating to listen
00:58:43.340 to. Going back to the article, it says,
00:58:45.400 After a certain age, we all seem to inherit these new things on our bodies, Hillary 74 tells
00:58:50.380 people. It was towards the end of the second term, after I turned 50 in 1997, that I began
00:58:55.180 to go through menopause, and it was something that you didn't talk about in those days.
00:58:58.980 My friends and I would talk about it or roll our eyes, but not publicly. That's why we really
00:59:03.440 wanted to talk about it with Wanda, because it's a universal experience for us. Thank goodness
00:59:07.820 we're getting into a time when women's health, and especially now with all the challenges about 0.54
00:59:11.600 reproductive health, are forcing this conversation out of the shadows and into the daylight. 1.00
00:59:15.280 Now, Hillary insists that somehow her menopause has something to do with the abortion conversation,
00:59:21.100 continuing, quote, 0.96
00:59:22.140 It's astonishing to me how ignorant a lot of these men legislators are in a lot of these 0.92
00:59:25.960 states making these laws about women's bodies. She says, 0.98
00:59:29.440 The things they say, the things that they think, the ignorance that they display is breathtaking.
00:59:34.000 So the more we can talk about it, Chelsea jumps in,
00:59:36.640 It's dangerous. Stigma is so deadly when it comes to public health.
00:59:40.100 Hillary acknowledges stigma played a role in her silence in the White House. 0.78
00:59:43.480 Quote,
00:59:43.960 Looking back, I mean, it wasn't yet at the point of our social or psychic development that I would
00:59:48.780 have said, oh, okay, the first lady is going through menopause. Here I go. Watch out, everybody.
00:59:54.580 Now, a couple of things here. First, to fruitlessly reiterate, it's not just men who support pro-life
01:00:01.640 laws. It's actually not even mostly men. Also, I'm not sure of a single example where pro-life
01:00:07.700 legislation has betrayed an ignorance of women's bodies. We're all aware that women's 1.00
01:00:12.480 bodies bear children. We know that. I mean, we know that. Those of us on the right are aware of
01:00:17.680 that. It's actually on the left where there's confusion on that point. But on our side, we know
01:00:22.700 that our point is simply that these children should not be killed. That's all we're saying.
01:00:28.500 But second, perhaps more to the point here, Hillary says that back in the 90s, we weren't at the point
01:00:33.520 of our social psychic development where the first lady would announce her menopause publicly.
01:00:38.540 Well, are we at that point now? Should we be? Why would you want to make a public announcement
01:00:45.100 about your menopause? She says that she talked about her menopause with her friends, but she
01:00:50.540 didn't talk about it on the public stage. Yes, and? What else would you have done? Held a press
01:00:56.360 conference? Issued an official statement on White House letterhead? Called for a national day of
01:01:01.200 mourning? Obviously, you didn't talk about your menopause publicly. That would have been totally
01:01:04.900 bizarre and weird and inappropriate. Besides, the public was hearing more than enough already
01:01:09.760 about the various bodily functions occurring in the White House during the Clinton administration,
01:01:13.240 so we didn't need to hear more. We have this totally ridiculous idea in our culture that 0.90
01:01:17.840 if we don't discuss something publicly, then it's stigmatized. Feminists will say the same thing 1.00
01:01:24.320 about their periods. They lament the stigmatization of a woman's menstrual cycle. But again, there's no
01:01:30.080 stigma. We're all aware that it's a thing that happens in and to the bodies of women. That doesn't 0.99
01:01:35.760 mean that we all need to talk about it over the dinner table, or that you need to announce it into
01:01:39.360 a megaphone. You also don't need to make a public pronouncement about every fart or burp or bowel
01:01:44.400 movement. These are all things that everyone does, yet we are discouraged from making a spectacle out of
01:01:49.460 these activities. It doesn't mean we're oppressed. It just means that we're expected to be at least
01:01:53.820 moderately civilized. But there are those for whom moderately civilized is a bar too high to get
01:02:00.680 over. Those like Megan Thee Stallion, who appeared in another episode of the show where she and Hillary 0.99
01:02:05.140 and Chelsea had the conversation that you were hoping I would forget about and not play the clip
01:02:08.860 of. But today is not your lucky day, so here it is. Chelsea follows rap music she has ever since she
01:02:15.600 was a little girl. But I kind of came to awareness of you with the Cardi B WAP. I've always wanted to
01:02:24.500 do a song with Cardi. As soon as she sent me the song, I think I sent it back to her like the next
01:02:27.860 day. And it was just so exciting. The men, they seem so confident in what they're saying, and they
01:02:32.780 don't have no problem with talking about their sexuality and how they're going to have sex with 0.99
01:02:36.040 you. So I was like, well, I could do that, and it's going to sound fire coming from a woman. 1.00
01:02:41.680 It's great to see women be so kind of fierce. That is my life's mission, to make sure that I'm 1.00
01:02:49.360 always unapologetically mean. Yes, well, on the bright side, Megan says that she took a day to
01:02:58.260 write her verse of the song, which is a lot longer than I thought it would have taken.
01:03:01.360 She put more thought into it than I assumed. I'll give her that. After all, her contribution to the
01:03:06.360 song, indeed the whole song itself, is the sort of thing that an illiterate crackhead could scribble on
01:03:11.520 a bathroom stall in about 95 seconds while in the middle of overdosing. But she was more thoughtful
01:03:16.440 than that, which, I mean, perhaps makes it all the more pathetic. But whatever the case, and if we can 0.81
01:03:22.120 somehow move past the intense revulsion we feel about the way this subject is being discussed,
01:03:26.560 and especially about who is discussing it, the lessons being taught here are truly terrible. 0.99
01:03:32.540 First, Megan notes that male rappers are disgusting pigs, constantly saying very crass and sexual things. 1.00
01:03:39.180 Her way of correcting this problem is to be an even more disgusting pig herself. 1.00
01:03:44.280 This truly is the feminist mantra. I hate it when men behave in objectionable ways, 0.99
01:03:48.800 so I will behave in an even more objectionable way. She then claims that her life's mission is to be
01:03:53.980 unapologetically mean. That is, of course, the worst sort of mission you can have in life. It is a
01:03:59.840 recipe for failure in 99.9% of cases. The rap and pop industries package this kind of message and they
01:04:07.400 sell it to kids forgetting to mention that almost none of them will end up as successful as the
01:04:11.980 celebrities they're emulating if they continue to emulate them. Because unapologetically me in this
01:04:17.940 context means I'm going to be a stupid, boorish, self-centered, obnoxious idiot and expect everyone to 1.00
01:04:24.680 just fall over themselves and worship me anyway because I'm me. The celebrities who promote this 1.00
01:04:30.620 message will indeed themselves be worshipped no matter how dumb and repulsive they are. But for 1.00
01:04:36.100 most people, being dumb and repulsive just means that nobody will want to be around you or be your 1.00
01:04:41.540 friend or marry you or hire you for a job. You will be alone and bitter and miserable forever. 1.00
01:04:47.440 But you will have helped Megan Thee Stallion get rich and that's all she cares about.
01:04:54.000 And that's why she is canceled and Hillary Clinton is canceled and this show is especially, 0.93
01:04:58.860 most certainly, in the end, canceled. And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move on to
01:05:04.200 the member segment. Hope to see you over there. If not, talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
