Transcript

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a drag queen is invited on the altar during a church service,
00:00:03.740 but the pastor's justification for this satanic display tells us more than I think he intended
00:00:08.300 to reveal. Also, Antifa mobilizes for my event at the University of Houston in a few days.
00:00:12.620 Tulsi Gabbard leaves the Democrat Party. The secretary of the army says the army isn't woke,
00:00:17.400 it's just inclusive, which is like the same thing. In our daily cancellation, Michelle Obama is
00:00:22.300 teaming up with an organization that just put out the worst get out the vote ad in the history of
00:00:27.440 democracy. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:41.020 college tour continues this week. I'll be screening the film at the University of Central Florida tonight and
00:01:46.180 then moving on to the University of Houston. Now the Houston event is apparently already creating serious
00:01:51.600 tension on campus as the Houston ABC affiliate reports. Watch.
00:01:57.700 Clash of ideas could reach a boiling point Thursday at the University of Houston. Controversial conservative
00:02:04.140 Matt Walsh is speaking and showing his new movie. Some in the trans community believe the film is an attack
00:02:10.180 on them. Because of this, they're planning their very own event. But as ABC 13's Nick
00:02:15.600 Notario discovered, it's one of the conservative group welcomes.
00:02:19.520 A lot of eyes will be on this U of H building Thursday night. Inside, a speaker brought by a
00:02:26.100 conservative student group will showcase a new film. We believe as college students on a college campus
00:02:31.100 that that view is the minority. We believe that a majority of students do believe in genders, do
00:02:35.700 believe in the difference between man and woman. Outside, a protest is expected to take place.
00:02:40.660 This is, in my opinion, not a freedom of speech issue, but rather a hate speech and a safety issue.
00:02:47.140 The concern by some in the trans community is the topic of the speaker Matt Walsh's movie. It's called
00:02:52.660 What is a Woman? Walsh says it's a look at the gender ideology movement. Trans activists say it's a film
00:02:58.580 that attacks them and others who perform gender reaffirming procedures. Eden Rose Torres,
00:03:03.940 who's a trans woman, worries this film could generate anger towards her community.
00:03:08.180 I'm going to be extremely worried about the students of University of Houston,
00:03:12.180 the students and the faculty. They do not deserve to feel this unsafe and be put at this much risk.
00:03:18.580 Now, I just want to clarify that when I have described the film as a bombshell documentary,
00:03:24.740 I didn't mean it literally. So you're not going to be in any physical danger whatsoever,
00:03:28.740 I promise you. Also, when I say that audiences have been blown away and left stunned by the movie,
00:03:34.900 which is true, these are also not meant to be taken as actual physical descriptions of their
00:03:39.700 reactions. These are metaphors. And hopefully that will put your mind at ease. Though I suspect that
00:03:45.220 that's not the source of the confusion here. As we've covered, when they say unsafe, they mean that
00:03:50.100 their understanding of the world and of themselves is vulnerable when it's made to confront contrary
00:03:56.900 viewpoints. So they say unsafe, but they mean really destabilized. Their conception of reality
00:04:03.060 is fragile. It's perched precariously at the top of a stack of wholly unsupported and arbitrary
00:04:09.380 assertions and presuppositions. They're terrified of anything that threatens to knock the whole tower
00:04:14.980 over. That's what they mean. Now, there's something perhaps ironic about this crippling fear on the
00:04:21.860 left, given that the left's great project is to itself destabilize and destroy, knocking over
00:04:29.700 whatever it can topple. So for a good example of this, we go elsewhere in Florida to Allendale
00:04:35.300 Methodist Church in St. Petersburg, which recently played host to a drag queen during Sunday services.
00:04:42.020 And this video has gone viral. The drag queen goes by the stage named Penny Cost, obviously a
00:04:48.020 sacrilegious play on the sacred Christian holiday of Pentecost. But his real name is Isaac Simmons.
00:04:53.620 And he's a candidate for ordination in the United Methodist Church. He's an associate pastor. He's
00:04:58.900 also an atheist who proclaims that the Bible and God are, quote, nothing. Simmons makes these
00:05:05.300 declarations in a slam poetry performance posted to his website, where he proves that his imitation of a
00:05:12.500 poet is even less convincing than his imitation of a woman. Listen.
00:05:17.780 Look, the Bible, the Bible is nothing. Nothing but poetry, pain, and performance. The Bible is no more
00:05:29.380 holy than Allen Ginsberg's Howls of Life, no more peaceful than Oscar Wilde's Requiescat and Pache,
00:05:37.380 and no more stronger than Tammy Faye's Eyelash Glue. God Themself is no more tangible than the
00:05:51.220 cacophony of invisible butterflies floating in new lovers' stomachs yearning to be set free from the
00:05:59.460 the bondage of past harm and the lacks of rightful mistrust. God Themself is nothing. But if she were,
00:06:12.340 she would be, yes, queening her way down the runways of Paris and Montreal,
00:06:18.500 shredding on that tightrope pulled taut between absurdity and opulence balancing between too much
00:06:26.420 and never enough. There's a lot of cheap blasphemy going on there, but let us not allow
00:06:33.940 the heretical nonsense to distract us from the fact that the poetry judged on its own merits is
00:06:39.540 extremely bad. No more tangible than the cacophony of butterflies floating in new lovers' stomachs
00:06:46.580 yearning to be set free. This is the kind of line that a student in a community college creative
00:06:51.380 writing class might come up with and then hopefully be expelled for right on the spot. It's cliche upon
00:06:56.820 cliche. If I were to utilize my own poetic metaphor, I would say that this guy has the intellectual depth
00:07:02.740 of an inflatable kiddie pool tinted with urine and pockmarked with dead beetles and horseflies
00:07:09.940 floating on the surface. Not exactly Shakespearean either, but at least it's a little bit more descriptive.
00:07:14.900 In any case, Isaac Simmons, the atheist drag queen pastor, showed up to perform at a fake church in
00:07:22.100 Florida a few days ago. Two young girls were brought up on the satanic altar to be used as props for this
00:07:28.020 display. And then this conversation unfolded. Do either of you have any questions for Miss Pentecost?
00:07:35.620 I like your eye shadow. Oh, thank you. Yeah. You like her eye shadow. That's great. Yeah. Yeah.
00:07:42.260 Maybe she'll let you borrow it. When you're older, when you're allowed to wear makeup.
00:07:45.140 Yeah. Of course. Yeah. Well, one of the things I think is great about Miss Pentecost is she reminds
00:07:52.340 us that we follow a God who calls us to not conform to things of this world, that we're supposed to be
00:08:00.340 transformed by the renewal of our minds. And that means that what I think today may have to change
00:08:05.940 tomorrow if I continue to renew my mind. And it's so cool that we serve a God that calls us to continue
00:08:11.460 to grow and continue to change into something new and to not be bound by the ways that the world
00:08:19.460 confines us sometimes, that we're supposed to live differently.
00:08:22.500 Now, the apostate preacher there is referring to and hideously mangling Romans 12, 2, which
00:08:31.300 indeed warns us against conforming to things of this world and calls for the renewal of our minds.
00:08:37.540 What this actually means in context, if you read the sentences before and after it,
00:08:42.020 is that we must live in a way that is, quote, holy and pleasing to God. And we must use, quote,
00:08:47.140 sober judgment and avoid falling into pride and self-regard. We're told to conform ourselves to
00:08:54.180 the body of Christ, love what is good and hate what is evil. That's what the whole verse says.
00:08:59.220 The verse, in other words, warns against precisely the sort of display we just witnessed. Drag is,
00:09:07.460 among other things, profane, ostentatious, self-focused, prideful, absurd. It is anything but
00:09:15.700 the product of humility and sober judgment. It's the opposite of the verse that the pastor uses to
00:09:22.500 defend it. And of course, most importantly, drag is not a rejection of the things of this world.
00:09:29.140 It is a thing of this world. It's a product of the decadence and moral insanity of modern American
00:09:36.180 culture. It's hard to think of something that's more of the world than that. It's also a
00:09:41.060 a trend and a marketing gimmick. It is all of the things that Romans chapter 12 tells us to reject.
00:09:49.780 What the pretend pastor at the pretend church is really trying to say is that drag, especially when
00:09:54.980 mixed with church or with children or with both at the same time, is meant to break down barriers. It's
00:10:01.620 an attempt to destroy or at least weaken cultural guide rails and fences that have been put in place.
00:10:08.100 And that is certainly true. This is all the left does after all, except that the barriers the left
00:10:15.460 breaks down are barriers of basic human decency, of intellectual and moral coherence, of objective
00:10:23.780 truth. It silences the voice of tradition, tears down all that was built by our ancestors simply because
00:10:30.740 it was built by our ancestors. Therefore, it must be bad, they reason. That's what drag is about. It's what
00:10:36.340 gender ideology is about. It's what critical race theory is about. It's what everything on the left
00:10:42.020 is about. This is a sort of renewal that the pastor was talking about. Now, people on the left,
00:10:48.980 they might even agree with most of my characterization up to this point. Yes, they'll proudly proclaim,
00:10:55.300 we are fearlessly tearing down barriers and we're claiming our independence and our autonomy
00:11:01.460 because we're not conformists like the rest of you. But what they leave out is that the old barriers,
00:11:08.660 you know, those barriers that made sense and which were rooted in natural law and objective truth and
00:11:15.140 traditions stretching back through the ages, they are not knocked down to reveal a wider and wilder
00:11:23.460 landscape where people are free to just roam and do whatever they want. No, the old barriers are
00:11:30.340 simply replaced with new ones. And the new ones, it turns out, are far more restricting and constricting.
00:11:40.420 They're also arbitrary and intellectually indefensible. So the barrier which says that you should,
00:11:48.580 you know, you shouldn't include children in your cross-dressing performance. That goes away,
00:11:52.740 for instance. We're tearing that one down. But a new one which says that you should not show a popular
00:11:59.220 documentary on a college campus is put in its place. So you could dress and drag and dance around kids,
00:12:07.060 but you can't show a documentary dealing with a serious subject to a bunch of college students.
00:12:11.780 All sorts of new restrictions are put in place. New fences are built. The new ones are all tenuous.
00:12:21.380 They're all fragile. They blow over in a slight breeze. And whenever they do, a million screaming
00:12:28.900 harpies will burst into tears claiming that if we don't respect these new boundaries, people will die.
00:12:34.260 So what's the lesson here? We leave the old ways behind, but we're not freer, it turns out. Far from it.
00:12:45.460 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:53.380 Another quick note about my Houston event. This is from Andy Ngo. I just saw this report pop up.
00:12:57.620 So he says he reports Antifa in the Houston area are rallying comrades to try and stop Matt Walsh from
00:13:03.220 speaking at the University of Houston on October 13th. The Scroostin Antifa group has claimed
00:13:08.900 responsibility for recent violence outside the Katy, Texas church, raising money to help transition
00:13:14.340 children. So that's what they're saying. They're going to mobilize. They're going to show up at this
00:13:20.100 screening of the film. And it's a film that they in particular need to see.
00:13:28.180 Here's what they posted on their social media platforms. Stop transphobia at UH.
00:13:35.380 Although it's kind of funny because it says stop transphobia at UH and it kind of reads like at
00:13:39.780 first it reads as stop transphobia at UH. And then it looks like they just lost their train of thought
00:13:45.700 and forget where they're supposed to stop transphobia. But anyway, rally and protest Thursday,
00:13:49.780 October 13th, 630 PM. On Thursday, far right bigot and transphobe Matt Walsh will be on campus.
00:13:58.180 We must oppose his hate. The majority of UH students and workers reject this hatred. We must organize the
00:14:05.220 largest possible counter protest to make sure Matt Walsh and other bigots know they're unwelcome.
00:14:11.460 So they're going to try to show up and stop the screening from happening and stop me from speaking.
00:14:17.940 Now, it's impossible. That's not going to happen on my end. I can tell you that right now. There's
00:14:25.780 nothing that they can say or threaten that would make me say, well, maybe we shouldn't show up.
00:14:31.620 Now, whether this, as it's intended to do, prompts the school to shut down the event, I certainly hope
00:14:38.340 that doesn't happen. But I certainly can't guarantee that it won't. But this, as always,
00:14:46.340 of course, we know this is what anti-fascists do. If you're against fascism, you make threats and you
00:14:53.620 use intimidation to stop people from talking about things and from seeing films. That's what the
00:15:00.260 anti-fascists do. Obviously. Now, in happier news, this is from the Daily Wire. This former congresswoman
00:15:06.740 and Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard said Tuesday that she was leaving the Democratic
00:15:10.660 Party because it had become an elitist cabal of warmongers driven by cowardly wokeness. Gabbard,
00:15:16.580 who represents or rather represented Hawaii's second congressional district after serving two combat
00:15:21.860 tours in the Middle East, made the announcement in a video posted to her social media accounts early
00:15:25.860 Tuesday morning. And this is now trending all over the place. And let's watch it.
00:15:32.100 I can no longer remain in today's Democratic Party that's under the complete control of an elitist
00:15:38.340 cabal of warmongers who are driven by cowardly wokeness, who divide us by racializing every issue
00:15:46.020 and stoking anti-white racism, who actively work to undermine our God-given freedoms that are enshrined
00:15:52.740 in our Constitution, who are hostile to people of faith and spirituality, who demonize the police
00:15:59.860 but protect criminals at the expense of law-abiding Americans, who believe in open borders, who weaponize
00:16:06.340 the national security state to go after their political opponents, and above all, who are dragging
00:16:12.580 us ever closer to nuclear war. Now, I believe in a government that's of the people, by the people, and for
00:16:21.220 the people. Unfortunately, today's Democratic Party does not. Instead, it stands for a government that
00:16:28.340 is of, by, and for the powerful elite. Now, I'm calling on my fellow common sense, independent-minded
00:16:36.580 Democrats to join me in leaving the Democratic Party. If you can no longer stomach the direction
00:16:43.300 that the so-called woke Democratic Party ideologues are taking our country, and I invite you to join me.
00:16:51.860 Well, that's what needs to happen. I mean, honestly, I'm tired of people giving so much credit to
00:16:57.140 the supposedly reasonable Democrats like Sinema and Manchin and, well, I guess those are the only ones,
00:17:04.820 but they get credit sometimes from, uh, from the right because they take positions on occasion that
00:17:10.180 are, um, outside of the Democrat mainstream because the Democrat mainstream is off the cliff into,
00:17:16.180 you know, into far left insanity. Uh, but they get, they get credit, but then they, they remain in the
00:17:23.300 Democratic Party. They stay aligned with it. And ultimately they do always end up bending the knee
00:17:29.540 when it really, when it really matters, when it really counts, but they're going to go along with
00:17:32.900 what the Democrats want. Uh, at a certain point, you have to realize as Tulsi Gabbard has that the
00:17:39.460 Democrat Party is lost. It's just, it's lost. And so if you really are a reasonable common sense person,
00:17:46.020 and notice I say reasonable common sense, you don't even need to be a conservative. Now,
00:17:49.540 I think that reasoning common sense will lead you to in that direction,
00:17:52.580 but you don't need to see yourself in that light.
00:17:56.260 If you're just reasonable and you have common sense, then you, you, the Democrat Party is lost to you and
00:18:02.500 it's not coming back. Just like if you're on a, if you're on a ship and it's, it's sinking into the
00:18:07.620 dark icy sea, it's not going to matter much if you're the most reasonable one on board. It doesn't
00:18:13.540 matter. You know, if you tried to warn the captain about the iceberg before he hit it, he didn't listen
00:18:18.420 to you. Uh, well that, that mattered before maybe being the smartest, most common sense guy on the ship
00:18:24.420 before it's sinking and it's iceberg that might matter, but now it's going, it's going in the
00:18:28.100 water. Um, and if you stay on, then you're going to be part of the debris, part of the wreckage
00:18:34.900 like everybody else. You have to abandon the ship. It's too late to bail out and plug the holes when
00:18:41.860 the whole starboard side is already in the water. And I'm quickly running out of a ship terminology
00:18:46.980 to keep the metaphor going, but you get the, you get the basic idea. So this is good. Now,
00:18:50.820 as, as some people have pointed out, Tulsi Gabbard is not a conservative on every issue.
00:18:57.380 She also didn't say that she's becoming a Republican. Maybe she will, maybe she won't.
00:19:00.340 I don't know. I don't think that really even matters that much. I don't care if she does or
00:19:03.980 doesn't. Uh, is she a conservative on every issue? As far as I know, no, she's not. Last I checked last,
00:19:12.800 last I heard her talking about it. She was pro abortion. For example, uh, she's not exactly a gun
00:19:17.120 rights proponent, but the good news also is that, uh, is that she's someone who can be reached.
00:19:23.120 Yeah. I don't know this, but another five years from now, it wouldn't be surprised. It wouldn't
00:19:28.080 surprise me if she was also pro-life given that she is open to listening to what people have to say.
00:19:34.760 And she does have common sense, but I want you to notice something else. Notice the difference.
00:19:40.520 This is really the most important thing in the most striking contrast because there have also
00:19:48.200 been Republicans on the other side over the last several years who have left the Republican party
00:19:53.880 and have made a big announcement about it and said, uh, I'm leaving and everything. And then,
00:19:58.760 and then they explain why they're leaving. And there are certain Republicans who have
00:20:02.380 announced that they're leaving the Republican party about 46 times at this point.
00:20:07.380 I think, uh, Jennifer Rubin at the Washington post, she has left the Republican party. I think,
00:20:14.800 I think most recently she was on her, um, 1000th occasion of leaving it. So, but you,
00:20:20.980 you listen to them. So when Republicans say we're leaving the Republican party,
00:20:24.540 especially over the last few years, when this has happened on almost every occasion,
00:20:29.860 it's because of Trump. And they tell you that they lay out their reasons and it always comes down to
00:20:36.580 Trump. When they're giving their speech about why they're leaving, they're going to say the word
00:20:40.080 Trump or MAGA 50 times because it all comes down to this one guy. It's this one guy. They don't like,
00:20:49.780 a guy who's currently not even in elected office, this one guy they don't like, and that's why they're
00:20:56.320 leaving. Now, on the other hand, listen to Tulsi Gabbard leaving the Democrat party. I don't think
00:21:02.700 she even mentions Joe Biden at all. Maybe she did. And I missed it, but that certainly was not the
00:21:07.820 central focus of her reasoning. And if Joe Biden wasn't on the scene, she, you get the impression
00:21:13.780 she would still feel the same way because she's leaving for a whole host of reasons that all have,
00:21:19.540 that are principled and they have to do with the ideas and the actual political agenda of the
00:21:25.880 Democrat party, which she disagrees with. So she's not having a temper tantrum because she doesn't
00:21:31.660 like one person on the Democrat party side of it. It's because she, the, the entire platform she
00:21:36.500 rejects and she lays out all of the, all of the fundamental flaws with the Democrat platform.
00:21:44.440 So a very different sort of thing. All right. So that was an impressive speech there from Tulsi
00:21:51.860 Gabbard. We'll go to something a little bit less impressive. Addressing the media yesterday,
00:21:55.220 the secretary of the army, Christine Wormuth had some thoughts about the attacks on wokeness.
00:22:02.060 And here's what she says. And one more thing, Haley, I would emphasize is I think
00:22:07.620 more broadly in terms of, you know, soldiers coming from marginalized communities or, you know,
00:22:15.540 demographics that are not widely represented in the army. That's part of why we've got to emphasize
00:22:21.260 positive command climates and inclusion. You know, we get criticized, frankly, sometimes for being woke.
00:22:28.100 I'm not sure what woke means. I think woke means a lot of different things to different people.
00:22:33.920 But first of all, I would say if, if woke means, you know, we are not focused on war fighting,
00:22:39.780 we are not focused on readiness. That doesn't reflect what I see at installations all around the country
00:22:46.220 or overseas when I go and visit. But I think, you know, we do have a wide range of soldiers in our
00:22:52.920 army and we've got to make them all feel included. And that's why a lot of our diversity, equity and
00:23:00.120 inclusion programs are important. She just, she looks and sounds like, like any human resources
00:23:09.380 director at some fortune 500 company, or maybe not even a company as impressive as that. Like she's,
00:23:15.500 she just sounds like she's any, or, or the, you know, guidance counselor at some middle school.
00:23:22.640 That's what she sounds like and looks like. And yet she's the secretary of the army. She's one of
00:23:28.840 the people in charge of our armed forces at the bureaucratic level. That's, you can call it whatever
00:23:36.320 you want. You call it wokeness. I don't care what you call it, but that's the problem. And, and you
00:23:41.220 know what she, she says, uh, well, I don't know what this wokeness thing is. I don't care about
00:23:44.840 wokeness. I don't know if it's good or bad, but, uh, but the most important thing is that we, we make
00:23:50.780 everyone in the army feel included. Yeah, that's, that's wokeness. Okay. Amy, just to make, just be clear
00:23:58.920 with you. That's what it is. That's what we're objecting to. Make everyone feel included.
00:24:09.720 That's the, first of all, that should be the exact opposite, especially going through the recruiting
00:24:14.120 process and the training process. There should be very little concern for people's feelings at all,
00:24:21.040 because that's not going to help you on the battlefield, but just including people for the
00:24:25.420 sake of including them. That's not the appropriate way to go through the recruiting process for any
00:24:31.960 institution, let alone the military. In fact, recruitment and training and bringing people in
00:24:40.720 to an institution, whether it's the military or something else is a process of discrimination.
00:24:46.520 You are discriminating. You should have discriminating standards. There there's no other kind of standard
00:24:51.680 to have. If you have standards at all, it is going to be discriminating standards because you are
00:24:56.440 differentiating one thing from another. You're saying we want this and not that that's you're
00:25:01.320 discriminating. That's what it is. That's what the word means. I'm fine. Getting rid of a wokeness.
00:25:07.960 We don't need to talk about wokeness in the military. I mean, it is woke, but, uh, let's just use the
00:25:12.580 term that they use inclusivity. They said it's not wokeness. It's inclusivity. Yeah, it's the same thing,
00:25:17.480 but fine. I'm, I'm fine. Just talking about that. Inclusivity. Inclusivity is destroying the
00:25:22.740 military, just like it's destroying so many other institutions, so many other once great institutions.
00:25:28.340 Because when you include everyone just for the inclusivity for its own sake,
00:25:32.480 throwing the doors open and saying anyone can come, it doesn't matter. There's no standards.
00:25:36.740 Obviously that's going to have a poisonous effect on that institution.
00:25:40.840 All right. Uh, this is from the daily wire. Singer Lizzo answered critics of her weight and the fat
00:25:48.020 acceptance movement during a concert on Friday. Yay. The rapper formerly known as Kanye West.
00:25:53.800 We just call him Kanye West. I feel like we just still just call him that. I don't want to misgender,
00:25:58.420 but, um, Kanye West on Thursday told Fox news, Tucker Carlson, that Lizzo, whom he considers a friend
00:26:04.500 has been criticized for losing weight, something he found extremely troubling and tied it to a larger
00:26:09.220 targeting of black Americans. Lizzo told her fans at Toronto's, um, Scotiabank arena. I feel like
00:26:17.840 everybody in America got my mother effing name in their mother effing mouth for no mother effing
00:26:22.560 reason. I'm minding my fat, black, beautiful business. That's, that's what she said. Everyone's
00:26:30.700 talking about me. I don't know why. Look, you know, there have always been, of course, pop stars who, uh,
00:26:36.960 who are provocative. That's as long as pop music has existed, it's thrived on that sort of thing.
00:26:43.120 You know, publicity stunts and everything else. But it seems as though in the past anyway,
00:26:49.580 people who tried to get attention and then got the attention they asked for would then use that
00:26:58.980 attention for whatever purpose they had in mind, or they would brag about the fact that everyone's
00:27:03.960 talking about them and how famous they are. You know, it was, it was, it was really very brash and
00:27:08.000 showy in that way. Now though, we have this game where they desperately flail around looking for
00:27:15.860 attention. And then as soon as they get it, they cry. That's the process now. So the first part of
00:27:22.620 it is not that different. Lizzo now Lizzo being morbidly obese, running around naked and everything
00:27:27.660 in thongs. That's not something you saw in pop music up until the last few years. But the general
00:27:34.220 thing of just like flaunting around and, and, and being half naked and just trying to get attention.
00:27:38.980 Yeah, that we've seen. Okay. So I, yes, I, we, we can all agree that that's, that's pretty standard
00:27:44.560 fair, but the next part is not. I mean, the next, the next part strikes me as pretty uniquely modern
00:27:50.000 where you desperately, desperately clawing for attention, which is all Lizzo ever does. She desperately
00:27:56.380 clawing for attention all the time. Okay. You don't, whether you're morbidly obese or not,
00:28:02.000 you don't walk around in public and see through outfits unless you want people to look at you.
00:28:06.840 So when you're, when you're going through your closet and you've got all your outfits there
00:28:10.680 and you're thinking to yourself, I really want to be incognito today. I don't want people to notice
00:28:14.600 me. I just want to get in and out. I want to run to Walmart. I got to grab a couple of things.
00:28:18.580 I need some new, you know, sponges and Windex or whatever from Walmart. And I don't want to be
00:28:24.020 bothered. Well, you're not going to then grab for the see-through thong in that, on that occasion.
00:28:32.780 Maybe this analogy doesn't really work that well because it does seem like that's the sort of thing
00:28:35.940 people do wear to Walmart all the time, but you get my point. Generally, it seems like if you don't
00:28:40.260 want attention, you're not going to go with that sort of a get up. And that's what she does because
00:28:44.960 she wants the attention and then she gets it and she just never stops crying about it
00:28:49.020 because that's what the attention is for. It's, it's, you know, you want to generate the attention
00:28:56.580 and then you want to convert. There's this conversion process. Attention on its own doesn't
00:29:02.600 do any, anyone any good. You got to be able to convert the attention into something. And we live in a,
00:29:08.420 in a, um, in a victimhood economy. And so she converts the attention into victimhood tokens.
00:29:17.800 That's essentially how it works. All right. I've had this story on the, the docket here for a few
00:29:24.620 days and I want to finally, um, spend a couple of minutes talking about it. It's a horrifying story.
00:29:30.840 It's hard to even read, but, uh, maybe you've already heard this. A Tennessee mother of two
00:29:34.620 is now in stable condition with stitches and bite marks over her entire body after attempting to
00:29:39.760 intervene when her two pit bulls mauled her toddlers to death on Wednesday. This was last Wednesday.
00:29:45.600 Kirstie Jane Bernard, 30, was severely injured by the dogs when she tried to pull them off of her
00:29:50.940 five-year-old, or rather five-month-old boy, Hollis Dean, and two-year-old girl, Lily Jane,
00:29:56.980 just outside of their home in Shelby County. Both of the children were pronounced dead at the scene.
00:30:01.820 Bernard's condition is reportedly stable, but the mother has an uncountable amount of stitches and
00:30:05.780 bite marks over her entire body, including her face. Uh, the more details on the attack
00:30:11.420 that are, you know, circulating in the media, it's just, it, it, it's unthinkable. You can't
00:30:16.940 even wrap your head around it. Uh, and whether you have kids or not, you obviously see this as a
00:30:22.380 horrific tragedy. When you do have kids, then you can't help but sort of imagine yourself in that
00:30:27.660 situation. And it's, uh, enough to take the breath away, but it is another occasion for us to,
00:30:35.740 for us to point out that it's, it's like enough already. Okay. How, how, how many kids need to be
00:30:46.640 mauled to death for the sake of pit bull ownership? Like at what point can we all just agree that it's,
00:30:54.780 it's too much. And these animals, they don't belong in the communities. They don't belong in,
00:31:00.680 in homes. They especially don't belong in homes with little kids. You know, there, there are basic
00:31:06.320 facts here. Pit bulls are responsible for almost all of the deadly dog attacks in the country every
00:31:11.520 year. Okay. Almost all of them are pit bulls. Almost all vast majority pit bulls and rottweilers
00:31:17.800 make up like, um, you know, 6% of the dog population overall. They account for almost 80% of the fatal
00:31:25.140 attacks. And pit bulls are 70% of that 80%. So it's almost all pit bulls. And you're throwing a
00:31:31.560 couple of rottweilers and that's pretty much it. That that's all the dogs that are killing people.
00:31:36.420 Pit bulls account for, uh, 70, like I said, 70% of the fatal attacks. And that's why every time you
00:31:44.860 read a story, you see a headline about a dog fatally mauling someone, oftentimes a kid or an elderly
00:31:52.220 person, you could just assume ahead of time, that's a pit bull. And you're almost always right.
00:31:58.100 Okay. When you start seeing patterns like this, it should tell you something. When you see a headline
00:32:02.180 and dogs, dog mauls, fatal dog mauling, and immediately say, that's a pit bull. And you're
00:32:09.320 almost never wrong in that assumption. Maybe that should tell us something. Even with non-fatal
00:32:15.000 injuries, pit bulls are responsible for well over half, 60%, despite being such a small portion of the
00:32:20.420 overall dog, dog population. And please don't respond by telling me, well, you know, poodles
00:32:24.740 are even more aggressive. They bite more people. Poodles don't maul people to death. Okay. That
00:32:29.620 might give you a little nip on the hand and it'll hurt. And might need, maybe you need to get stitches
00:32:32.660 in a worst case scenario. Okay. There, there are also, uh, you know, maybe hamsters are more likely to
00:32:40.440 bite you than a pit bull. That might be true. I don't know. They're not going to kill you though,
00:32:44.760 is the point. It's the same reason we don't, you're not allowed to purchase like a lion and
00:32:52.000 have it walking around in a community. Now it doesn't matter. You could, you could all day,
00:32:58.500 you could tell me, well, you know, there's only a, there's only a 2% chance that the lion would even
00:33:02.480 attack you. I think that's probably not true, but even, but if it is, yeah, but in the 2% scenario,
00:33:07.880 I'm just dead. Like that's it. So we're rolling the dice and I don't really want to roll those
00:33:14.980 dice. Why should I have to roll those dice? Because you want to have a pet. Um, they are
00:33:21.800 bred this way. They just are. They are bred to have hair triggers. And when they attack to keep
00:33:27.000 attacking until the victim is dead, not all dogs are like that. You know, again, there are some dogs
00:33:33.220 that, that might be inclined to bite also, but they're not going to keep mulling you until you stop
00:33:37.860 moving. That's just, that's just how they're bred. This is statistical reality. And you can blame the
00:33:45.200 owners all you want, but it's another fact that most of the time when there's a pit bull attack,
00:33:50.740 we hear that the dog never acted like this before. He's perfect. They're perfectly peaceful dogs.
00:33:54.580 That was the case in this, in this tragic case. These were two pit bulls that had both been owned by
00:33:58.980 the, by the parents for like seven or eight years. And they're telling us it never attacked anyone,
00:34:04.580 never shown any aggression. And then one day they killed two people, two, two kids.
00:34:07.860 So like, even if it was true that most of the pit bull attacks can be traced back to
00:34:14.900 bad ownership, that, that doesn't help you any as a pit bull apologist, because like,
00:34:21.700 there are a lot of bad owners out there. And so if my neighbor moves the next door with a pit bull,
00:34:26.560 I just have to trust that he's one of the good owners. It doesn't seem very fair. I got to trust,
00:34:32.520 so for my own kid, my children's safety, I got to just try, hope that they're very good owners.
00:34:39.180 There are a lot of animals, a lot of very dangerous animals that if you're a very good owner,
00:34:44.680 you can really mitigate the risks of owning those animals. And yet we would still say you cannot own
00:34:51.140 those animals. You especially cannot not own them in a neighborhood. And you especially should not own
00:34:55.520 them if you have small kids in your house. I don't know how we don't put pit bulls into that same
00:34:59.680 category. And please, all I ask you is anytime this comes up, the first thing we hear is, well,
00:35:06.440 you sound just like people that are anti-gun. Please don't do that. Please don't embarrass
00:35:11.540 yourself. I'm asking you, don't do that. Okay. Dogs are not guns. These are two different things.
00:35:17.680 You also have a constitutional right to bear arms. You don't have a constitutional right to own pets.
00:35:23.120 If you did, then you would be able to own an elephant or a tiger. You obviously don't have a
00:35:28.880 constitutional right to just own whatever animal you want. Don't be ridiculous.
00:35:33.040 You do have a constitutional right to bear arms. The other thing though, is that that guns,
00:35:37.500 you know, it's like, what do we always say as, as, as the, uh, the gun rights crowd?
00:35:41.420 We say that, well, look, the gun's not just going to pick itself up one day and start shooting.
00:35:46.400 Blame the person, right? Well, a dog, if we're comparing a pit bull to a gun, then, then,
00:35:53.160 then actually a pit bull is the kind of gun that just shoots itself one day,
00:35:56.160 that just picks up and start shooting because it has a mind of its own. Okay. So you've got an
00:36:00.520 inanimate object to which you have a, you have a constitutional right to, and then on the other
00:36:06.960 hand, you have a, a, a, a dangerous animal with a mind of its own. Two different things.
00:36:13.320 I just, I, I don't see, yes, I've seen some of the pictures people pass around of pit bulls,
00:36:21.680 uh, wearing shower caps or whatever, cuddling with, with, uh, stuffed animals.
00:36:28.180 And I, I've seen some of those pictures and yeah, some of them are kind of cute. You know,
00:36:33.940 I can see a picture like that. Oh, that's cute. I mean, I can see a picture of a lion and think
00:36:37.660 the same thing, but I don't think that the cuteness of the animal, um, is a, is a good
00:36:50.340 enough counter argument for the bloodshed. I don't think it mitigates the bloodshed or
00:36:59.640 kids having their faces ripped off. So let's just, for God's sake, can we just, one of the
00:37:07.140 issues that could be bipartisan, actual bipartisan issue. Can we just like agree? Like, like it's,
00:37:11.120 it's a dangerous animal. It's killing kids. It's just, it's not worth it. It does. It just
00:37:16.500 doesn't belong in, in a human community. Now let's get to the comment section.
00:37:21.360 Do you know their name? They're the sweet baby gang.
00:37:29.640 Rhonda says, thank you for all you're doing. I'm a huge fan and supporter and pray for your
00:37:34.140 work and safety. I'm organizing a busload of people from, uh, uh, Loudon, I guess in Virginia
00:37:40.420 to come to your rally on the 21st. Is it on, is it on no matter what pauses the hospital does?
00:37:46.180 Will there be details coming regarding parking, how best to represent with signs, et cetera,
00:37:50.180 wanting to help make a difference in the best way possible. Yeah, it's absolutely still on. So
00:37:53.700 definitely bring your, um, your busload of people, uh, everyone bring busloads of people
00:37:59.480 rally is, is not only on, but as we talked about yesterday, I think it's more important than ever
00:38:04.100 right now when you, you know, when you're fighting for something and you, you, you, you win a, you
00:38:10.180 win a skirmish. And I think that's what this is. It's an important skirmish, but we want to skirmish
00:38:13.620 with the, with the, uh, hospital deciding to pause, not deciding, but being forced to pause their gender
00:38:20.940 transition procedures on minors. But when you, when you win that battle or that skirmish, you don't just
00:38:25.200 turn around and go away. Like if you do that, then it's all for nothing. You lost it. So you,
00:38:28.840 you turn a win into a loss by turning around and saying, uh, all right, well, we're, our work here
00:38:33.940 is done. So once you get that first victory, it's all the more important to double down. And, uh,
00:38:39.060 that's what we're doing. So please do come out as far as some of the logistical details. Yeah,
00:38:42.860 we'll have, uh, we'll have a lot more for about that, um, very soon. So stay tuned. All right.
00:38:48.580 Um, let's see. Funk's old buddy says how peer review works. You're going to make money off
00:38:59.380 this. Oh yeah. You, oh, hell yeah. What about you over there? Darn tootin' we're all there.
00:39:05.920 Yeah, that's, that's basically peer review. Well, here's the real issue with peer review is that,
00:39:09.100 I mean, there's, there's that, like, as we've discussed people involved in these studies and
00:39:14.540 some of the people peer reviewing them are, have a financial interest in a certain outcome.
00:39:21.520 And that alone just invalidates the study completely. Like once you realize that there
00:39:27.000 are people involved in the study, people who've peer reviewed the study who are financially invested
00:39:31.660 in a certain outcome, it's just like, ignore it. You don't even need to read it. That's out the
00:39:36.480 window. That's not science. That's propaganda. It's absurd to even pay attention to it. Um,
00:39:41.160 but this speaks to the underlying issue, which even if there isn't money involved,
00:39:46.140 the, the peer review process assumes that the peers are credible and trustworthy.
00:39:54.220 So the process of peer review and getting peer review, it can turn into a sort of like a peer
00:39:58.020 pressure thing because this all, it, it, it assumes that, that your peers are, are right in general,
00:40:04.460 um, and have not been compromised. And that's not the case when it comes to gender ideology. So
00:40:11.080 the, the therapists, the psychiatrists, psychologists, the doctors, surgeons,
00:40:17.460 endocrinologists, many people on all these fields are totally compromised and they have bought into
00:40:25.080 this ideologically. And they've also, as we said, bought into it financially.
00:40:29.240 And then we hear about, well, it was like, there's a study and they all said it's valid. Who gives up
00:40:36.660 a blankety blank? What they say doesn't matter. Yes, I did just say who gives a blankety blank. I did.
00:40:46.540 That happened. Um, someone creative name says, what's sad is Matt isn't actually the smartest man
00:40:54.900 on earth. He isn't the best person to have on your side in an argument. It's just everyone else is so
00:40:59.120 stupid. It makes him appear like the smartest man on earth. He does still have more balls than me and
00:41:04.340 is making a greater impact on the world than I probably will ever make. Thank you, Matt Walsh,
00:41:07.680 for just speaking the truth. Uh, well, I'm not gonna agree with the last part of that because who knows
00:41:12.620 what kind of impact you can make. Other words can make a great impact. But the first part, I will
00:41:15.960 agree. Am I the smartest man on earth? Not even close in a, you know, objectively speaking,
00:41:21.600 am I the, always the best person to have on your side in an argument? No, I wouldn't say that I am.
00:41:26.340 Um, and that's why I always say, you know, we, we, we live at a time right now,
00:41:30.920 sort of the advantage that we have with, with the whole world going insane and the left going insane
00:41:36.500 is that you don't need to be, you don't need to be a genius to enter, to engage and to get in there
00:41:42.500 and to make arguments and to win the arguments. If you needed to be a genius, I would not be
00:41:47.740 in front of this camera right now and you would not be listening. Um, all right.
00:41:57.020 Paul says, Matt, Columbus technically didn't discover the new world for the Europeans. Norway
00:42:01.120 had known about America for nearly 500 years at the time, thanks to Eric the Red who discovered
00:42:05.760 and landed on Greenland and Leif Erikson who discovered and landed on mainland North America.
00:42:11.260 Yeah. Yeah. That always comes up with Columbus. Now, first of all, the fact that, um,
00:42:16.720 the fact that there were, uh, Vikings centuries before who had spotted or, or even landed on
00:42:27.740 the mainland North America, that in no way undercuts the significance or the impressiveness
00:42:34.020 of Columbus's, uh, journey. But the other part of it is that like they didn't establish,
00:42:40.960 lasting colonies on the mainland of North America. And, um, Columbus did. So that's, that's part of
00:42:50.180 the discovery process is you have to go and find the place. Um, but then you also have to establish
00:42:57.280 the contact and establish, uh, colonies. And that's, that's part of the process. So it doesn't
00:43:04.240 take away from Leif Erikson, not saying it does, but it also doesn't take away from Columbus.
00:43:08.100 Uh, and we, and we know that this is the case throughout history, that discovery is, uh, is a
00:43:14.640 process. And, you know, it's, it's very rarely that just one guy all on his own just stumbles
00:43:21.280 across something or discover something. There's always, you know, it's always a process of building
00:43:26.140 and there are multiple people who can, you know, arguably take credit for certain aspects of the
00:43:30.820 discovery. That's, that's, it's always been that way. Um, let's see. Brando says, Matt,
00:43:38.260 Lauren Southern is making content like the daily wire is, has been doing so for years. I'm sure
00:43:42.020 she would appreciate a huge corporation like you guys giving her a shout out, just saying
00:43:45.620 she makes incredible content. I know she just put up a video with a detransitioner, uh, herself.
00:43:51.160 That's on her channel. You should go check out big, uh, Lauren Southern fan for sure.
00:43:53.960 She does great work. And finally, Milton says, Matt, your attacks on Christian pastors are unfair
00:43:59.800 and disappointing. It's not a pastor's job to be a culture warrior. Their job is to shepherd their
00:44:04.620 flock in their churches. Your generalized statements are uncalled for and strike me as unchristian. Okay.
00:44:09.920 First of all, criticizing church leadership is one of the most Christian things you can do in the
00:44:13.980 world. Historically speaking, there's a long tradition of Christians criticizing and in very
00:44:19.780 harsh terms, oftentimes church leadership, uh, you know, there, there are multiple, just put
00:44:24.760 it into perspective. There are multiple church fathers and old saints of the church who are
00:44:28.880 credited with talking about how hell is the roads of hell are paved with the skulls of bishops. Okay.
00:44:36.880 That's the kind of language that has been used to describe church leadership when they're failing
00:44:41.860 at their job. And, and that's what we should be doing. We should be holding them accountable.
00:44:45.720 Um, you say that pastors aren't called to be culture warriors. I could not disagree more. I
00:44:50.540 mean, what are you talking about? They live in the culture, don't they? And so are they going to
00:44:55.320 fight for it or not? I don't even understand how you could draw a distinction between, no, I'm
00:44:59.540 worried about the shepherding my flock, not the culture. They're part of the culture. They live in
00:45:04.020 the culture. Okay. Unless you're going to take them off and you're all going to go to some island
00:45:08.600 in the Pacific somewhere and, and, and start your own commune or something. Um, unless you're going to do
00:45:13.220 that, then you got to worry about the culture. And that's what we're all called to do. We're
00:45:18.460 all called to fight for the culture. And if Christian pastors and church leaders are not
00:45:23.680 going to do it, then who is? Well, there maybe will be some people who step into the gap,
00:45:30.920 but then the problem, as we talked about yesterday, is that sometimes these, uh, these Christian
00:45:34.920 leaders who have, who have failed in the job or have not done it or have not been effective enough,
00:45:38.940 um, then other people step into the gap to fill that void. And then those same people who failed
00:45:44.220 in the job, turn around and start criticizing those who stepped into the void. Don't do it that way.
00:45:48.780 Do it this way. But Hey, there's room up here. Why don't you come up here and do it? Where are you?
00:45:54.880 Oh, I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about my own flock.
00:45:58.760 And also these pastors that are worried about their own flocks and their church,
00:46:02.800 most churches in America are dying. Okay. So I can't even accept, even if I were to agree with you
00:46:07.780 that, Oh, forget about the culture. Just worry about your own flock. Even that's not working.
00:46:11.780 Most churches are dying. So yes, there are some good Christian leaders and pastors. Certainly there
00:46:18.680 are, there are some very, very good ones. Um, but as a whole, the proof is in the pudding here.
00:46:23.800 And, and that's the point. Well, if you know me, you know how much I love Halloween and how excited I
00:46:30.940 am to dress up for the holiday. Now I may have to settle for the, uh, run of the mill superhero costume,
00:46:36.820 but, uh, you know, that's usually what I go. Well, I was hoping for something more creative this
00:46:40.780 year. I always get really creative on Halloween, but I don't know if that's going to happen this
00:46:44.140 year, but there's still hope for you this Halloween. You could be the star of the year's
00:46:48.040 breakout hit documentary. What is a woman? That's right. You can head over to, I have no idea where
00:46:52.040 this is going. What is this? Head over to dailywire.com slash shop to get your very own Matt Walsh
00:46:56.360 Halloween costume. Do I get to approve this? So we were putting a costume of my likeness on the site
00:47:02.600 and no one even told me, I don't know what it looks like. Be sure to post on social media and
00:47:06.880 tag me in the daily wire to show off your costume. Yeah, please tag me. So I know what the hell it is.
00:47:10.680 Cause I don't know what it is. Do I, do I get to consent and being made into a costume? I don't
00:47:16.040 get to consent. It's just, I was just made into a costume and no one even asked me. I'm not sure
00:47:20.620 that I want anyone to do this. Anyway, you might even make it on the show. Remember not all heroes
00:47:26.800 wear caves. This one wears a sandwich board, luscious beard and contrarian attitude,
00:47:30.840 not included. So there's no beard included. This is a Matt Walsh costume.
00:47:36.700 What? Okay. That's like, if it's a Freddy Krueger costume, you don't have the, you know,
00:47:41.880 the spiky hands or whatever. He's the one with the spiky hands, right? Um, also, also, also this
00:47:47.880 George Floyd's death literally set the world on fire, divided America and gave rise to the activist
00:47:52.860 group, black lives matter. They raised $80 million through fundraising, but no one ever asked where the
00:47:58.480 money went until now. On Wednesday, October 12th, Candace Owens will reveal the truth in her new
00:48:03.000 documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. Candace travels to Minneapolis to
00:48:08.140 meet the people who knew George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, and then she follows the money to find
00:48:12.760 out just where it did and did not go. After more than two years of the mainstream media ignoring the
00:48:17.540 story, the answer will shock and surprise you. The longer the media stays silent, the louder we get
00:48:22.120 and the more momentum we gain. So your Daily Wire Plus membership goes a long way to ensuring that folks

00:48:46.800 documentary, The Greatest Lie Ever Sold, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. Now let's get to our daily
00:48:52.280 cancellation. You know, there are things in this life of ours that are simply made for the daily
00:49:01.460 cancellation, destined for it. A story written in the stars before time began. Sometimes people and
00:49:08.160 events come together in such a way as to combine and form something so obnoxious and so cringy and so
00:49:13.640 vile and so stupid and so hilarious in all the wrongest ways that it's not even necessary for
00:49:19.940 me to say anything and explaining why I'm canceling it. Though I will still, you know, say things, lots
00:49:24.560 of things, because this is a podcast and that's what I do here. Without further ado, here is the story
00:49:29.680 from Fox. It says, former First Lady Michelle Obama's voting initiative is partnering with a dating app
00:49:35.280 that made a video titled, No Voting, No Vucking, with a V. Now, you've probably already heard more than
00:49:46.600 enough, but you're going to hear much more, far more than is necessary or decent, I have to tell you.
00:49:52.760 So continuing, the voting initiative, When We All Vote, announced that it would be working with the
00:49:58.660 BLK dating app on October 4th and doing voter registration activations within the company.
00:50:04.200 The BLK dating app is designed for black singles looking to date, according to its website. On
00:50:08.500 October 4th, the organization released a video encouraging black voters to go to the polls titled,
00:50:12.900 No Voting, No Vucking, which features Rashad Spain, known as Saucy Santana, and Katrina Taylor,
00:50:20.180 who is known as Trina. So just to make sure you understand, Michelle Obama, who used to be the First
00:50:26.840 Lady of the United States, is partnering through her voting initiative with a dating app, which just
00:50:31.600 released a get-out-the-vote rap song starring something called Saucy Santana, in which black
00:50:37.720 singles are encouraged to ransom their bodies sexually in order to convince people to vote.
00:50:45.620 So now you're all caught up. That's what's happening. If you think you're going to get through
00:50:49.400 this segment and escape it without actually having to hear the song, well, you don't know me very well
00:50:53.520 because here it is.
00:50:55.520 It's voting season, bruh.
00:51:04.640 No voting, no loving. No voting, no touching. No voting, no nothing. No voting, no fucking. No voting, no fucking.
00:51:22.700 No voting, no touching.
00:51:29.200 No voting, no loving. No voting, no touching.
00:51:33.180 No voting, no nothing. No voting, no fucking. No voting, no fucking.
00:51:40.040 If you want to hit this booty, better do your civic duty.
00:52:06.040 He says, quoting, I believe, John Adams.
00:52:10.980 Actually, that's not exactly what John Adams says.
00:52:13.100 Here's what John Adams said, just for comparison sake.
00:52:17.180 Here's what John Adams said in encouraging those eligible to vote.
00:52:20.440 Here's what he said.
00:52:21.800 Quote, it becomes necessary for every citizen then to be in some degree a statesman and to examine and judge for himself of the tendency of political principles and measures.
00:52:30.860 Let us examine then with a sober and manly and a Christian spirit.
00:52:33.800 Let us neglect all party loyalty and advert to facts.
00:52:36.820 Let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion.
00:52:41.740 Take no man's word against evidence nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves or may be interested in deceiving us.
00:52:50.120 Now, those are the sorts of things our founding fathers said about voting.
00:52:54.100 We used to be a nation that produced the sorts of men who were capable of speaking like that and saying those kinds of things.
00:52:59.300 Now we rhyme civic duty and booty.
00:53:01.720 And I didn't even get to the most poetic part because the girl rapper or the other girl rapper or whatever that was, I don't know what was exactly going on.
00:53:09.240 But she sings in her verse, quote, don't stop now.
00:53:13.100 Stuff my ballot box again.
00:53:15.180 But my home girl through put the buy in partisan politics.
00:53:20.580 Be so nasty.
00:53:21.600 Make me want to flirt.
00:53:22.780 You show you how to be a poll worker.
00:53:26.000 Legs in the air.
00:53:27.000 I don't care.
00:53:29.660 That, I believe, was adapted from the famous defense of democracy offered by the ancient Greek ruler, Euclides.
00:53:35.740 At least that name sounds like an ancient Greek guy.
00:53:37.940 I don't really feel like we're competing it.
00:53:40.200 But anyway, Trina Sauce, or whatever her name is, is obviously going for some kind of sex and voting metaphor, I guess, which makes the legs in the airline all the more curious.
00:53:51.900 Like, I understand that in the sexual context, but why would you put your legs in the air while voting?
00:53:58.160 You know you're supposed to make your selection using your hand, right?
00:54:02.620 I mean, use it on the voting machine, not on yourself.
00:54:06.520 Now, what are the problems with all of this, aside from, you know, the obvious sanitation issues?
00:54:10.800 Well, for one thing, Democrats have, again, put their bigotry of no expectations on full display.
00:54:16.800 It is, in some ways, easy for me to laugh at this because I don't identify as black.
00:54:22.500 I don't identify that way, anyway.
00:54:24.040 And therefore, I'm not the one being degraded and insulted here.
00:54:27.920 This is the kind of patronizing, lowest common denominator, humiliating nonsense that the left saves for their favored victim groups.
00:54:36.120 There's a reason for that, of course.
00:54:37.400 Because in order to manipulate these groups, they need to be victim groups.
00:54:40.940 And if you want them to retain that status, you must encourage all of the worst tendencies and behaviors while discouraging and showing open hostility to the best.
00:54:50.320 This is the leftist approach to all groups, black people, women, gays, etc., except straight white men.
00:54:56.860 Because when I talk about victim groups, I'm saying, like, every group on the planet except for straight white men.
00:55:02.120 We straight white men, we are merely villainized and scapegoated 24-7.
00:55:05.820 That's what we get.
00:55:06.420 It's not always fun, but I prefer that to the kind of psychological warfare they wage against every other demographic.
00:55:14.960 Secondly, on the other hand, I am somewhat grateful for this campaign because it reveals, in all of its semi-literate horror,
00:55:24.400 the fundamental absurdity of nearly all modern get-out-the-vote campaigns, which you know how I feel about get-out-the-vote efforts.
00:55:31.760 I am opposed to all of them.
00:55:33.200 After all, why would we want people to vote just so that they can get laid?
00:55:39.680 How in the hell does that benefit society or the country or democracy?
00:55:44.760 What exactly is the long-term or short-term social benefit of convincing people to vote on that basis alone?
00:55:52.260 Why do we try to drive voter participation at all?
00:55:56.560 If somebody is clued in and they're engaged and they're informed and all of that, then they're going to vote anyway.
00:56:01.820 You don't need to tell them to do it.
00:56:04.140 If they aren't, why would we encourage them to vote?
00:56:07.060 I don't think any get-out-the-vote effort has ever actually succeeded in encouraging the kinds of voters you actually want.
00:56:16.060 Because those sorts of voters, the informed and engaged ones, again, none of them informed, engaged people who are interested in their civic duty.
00:56:25.640 None of them have ever encountered a get-out-the-vote campaign and then said to themselves, you know what, I think I will, I think I will vote.
00:56:36.620 I mean, after all, if you want to get the booty, you got to do your civic duty.
00:56:41.040 No one has ever done that if they're informed and engaged.
00:56:43.600 It's only ever the morons who are going to be motivated by that.
00:56:46.320 So how is democracy served by this?
00:56:49.940 How is it served by sheer participation?
00:56:52.240 In what other context would we encourage people to do something just simply to do it, whether they're equipped or informed or competent or not?
00:57:02.920 Well, college admissions is the other, so sending kids to college is the other context.
00:57:06.780 So voting and sending kids to college, those are the two things where we say, just do it whether you're ready for it or not.
00:57:12.780 So who is this helping?
00:57:13.680 Well, the answer, of course, is that it's helping the ruling class.
00:57:17.340 It's helping those in power stay in power.
00:57:19.080 It's helping Michelle Obama's friends, just like it helped her husband when he was in office.
00:57:22.360 Having armies of self-interested morons and ignorant, drooling buffoons vote is a boon to corrupt politicians and the ruling elites and nobody else.
00:57:33.900 They would certainly love it if you came out to vote simply so that you could have sex later that night.
00:57:38.220 Voting with your genitals, perhaps literally, in Trina's case, just means you aren't using your brain, which means you're incredibly easy to use and exploit and manipulate.
00:57:50.020 And that's what this is really about, as always.
00:57:52.020 And that is why the no voting, no fucking with a V campaign is canceled.
00:58:01.280 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members' block.
00:58:04.880 Talk to you tomorrow.
00:58:05.760 Godspeed.
00:58:06.120 We'll see you tomorrow.
00:58:07.120 We'll see you tomorrow.
00:58:07.340 We'll be right back.
