00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, med students participate in a bizarre incantation ritual
00:00:04.580 where they pledge to reject the gender binary and show respect for primitive medical practices.
00:00:09.720 This is what modern medicine has become.
00:00:11.740 Speaking of modern medicine, Canada has expanded their euthanasia laws
00:00:14.960 so that now physically healthy young people, even minors, can be victims of doctor-assisted suicide.
00:00:20.240 Plus, the unedited portions of Kanye's interview with Tucker Carlson are leaked online.
00:00:24.540 The left is calling it a bombshell scoop.
00:00:26.760 We'll see if they're overreacting again.
00:00:28.960 They are, of course.
00:00:30.140 And even MSNBC is now admitting that John Fetterman is mentally incompetent,
00:00:34.160 but he's not dropping out of the race, of course.
00:00:36.020 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:47.260 You know, the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is a huge, albeit long overdue, step in the right direction.
00:00:52.800 But there's still a long way to go to rid our country of abortion.
00:00:55.600 Many companies are bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and candidates.
00:00:59.880 Or reimbursing their employees' travel expenses so that if they live and work in a pro-life state,
00:01:04.480 they can travel to a pro-abortion state, get an abortion, be back at work on Monday.
00:01:07.940 But what if I told you that if you're currently on a phone plan with one of the major carriers,
00:01:13.260 you might be supporting these companies and their pro-abortion agendas with your monthly phone bill.
00:01:17.940 Don't let abortionists use your money to fund policies you don't believe in.
00:01:21.920 Switch to Charity Mobile instead.
00:01:24.140 Charity Mobile is a pro-life, pro-family cell phone company that sends 5% of your monthly plan price to the pro-life charity of your choice.

00:01:33.960 Charity Mobile offers the latest 5G phones, no device or service contracts,
00:01:37.680 great nationwide coverage, and live customer service based right here in the USA.
00:01:40.960 The fight for the right to life continues and pro-life causes need all the support you can get.
00:01:45.700 This fight is not over.
00:01:46.640 It only continues.
00:01:48.120 And you can help by switching your phone service to Charity Mobile today.
00:01:52.520 Call 1-877-474-3662 or chat with them online at charitymobile.com.

00:01:59.260 That's charitymobile.com and mention code Walsh.
00:02:02.000 The University of Minnesota Medical School is prestigious, has a great reputation.
00:02:08.460 Each year is ranked among the best medical schools in the entire country.
00:02:12.040 A man named Dr. Robert Englander is the associate dean for undergraduate medical education at the school.
00:02:17.220 And he is, like the institution he serves, highly regarded, highly respected.
00:02:21.480 His resume includes Yale Medical School, Johns Hopkins, Harvard Medical School,
00:02:26.500 a residency at Children's National Medical Center.
00:02:28.820 He's run the Ivy League medical school gamut.
00:02:32.000 And there was a time when all of that stuff might have meant that the University of Minnesota Medical School
00:02:38.400 and men like Dr. Robert Englander can be trusted.
00:02:42.120 But those days are long gone.
00:02:44.060 Here's the report from the Tennessee Star.
00:02:46.220 Quote, University of Minnesota Medical School students took an oath to, quote,
00:02:50.620 promote a culture of anti-racism during an August 19th white coat ceremony.
00:02:55.180 White coats, the students said, are themselves a symbol of power, prestige, and dominance.
00:03:01.660 Therefore, students will, quote, strive to reclaim their identity as a symbol of responsibility, humility, and loving kindness.
00:03:09.480 Quote, we commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the health care system,
00:03:15.200 the students said.
00:03:15.940 According to a video of the ceremony, Dr. Robert Englander, associate dean for undergraduate medical education,
00:03:20.520 led students in reciting the oath, which he described as beautiful.
00:03:24.280 He said the class oath was written by the students in consultation with their faculty advisors.
00:03:28.540 Now, you can't fully appreciate this until you've actually seen the video, which was posted to Twitter by Chris Ruffo.
00:03:35.780 And let's go through it now.
00:03:37.000 Here it is.
00:03:37.360 With gratitude, we, the students of the University of Minnesota Twin Cities Medical School Class of 2026,
00:03:47.940 stand here today among our friends, families, peers, mentors, and communities who have supported us in reaching this milestone.
00:03:57.300 Our institution is located on Dakota land.
00:04:00.320 Today, many indigenous people throughout the state, including Dakota and Ojibwe, call the Twin Cities home.
00:04:08.580 We also recognize this acknowledgement is not enough.
00:04:12.580 We commit to uprooting the legacy and perpetuation of structural violence deeply embedded within the health care system.
00:04:20.160 We recognize inequities built by past and present traumas rooted in white supremacy, colonialism, the gender binary, ableism, and all forms of oppression.
00:04:34.720 Well, you're right.
00:04:35.740 This acknowledgement is not enough.
00:04:37.760 Your apology is not complete.
00:04:39.400 I will not believe that the repentance is sincere until Dr. Robert Englander demonstrates it through self-immolation.
00:04:45.820 And I mean literal self-immolation, like setting himself on fire, rather than simply immolating his credibility as a medical professional and his dignity as a man.
00:04:53.540 I mean, that much he has done.
00:04:54.940 But I got to see the full thing.
00:04:56.820 You got to go all the way.
00:04:58.240 So, as we heard there, it begins with the classic land acknowledgement where members of modern Western civilization apologize for being members of modern Western civilization.
00:05:07.500 Granted, all people everywhere on Earth are living on land that was once occupied and owned by other people.
00:05:14.000 All inhabited regions of the globe, without exception, have been fought over and bled over and for.
00:05:21.260 No other culture, though, apologizes for this fact, just as Native Americans never apologize for their own history of conquest and bloodshed.
00:05:29.360 This is a confrontation that they are never required to have with their own past.
00:05:33.840 Only modern Westerners are stupid enough for this kind of thing.
00:05:37.180 But the greater concern is that this doctor and these medical students are, in creepy unison, declaring the gender binary oppressive.
00:05:48.100 Now, it's theoretically possible that somebody could be a competent medical professional, even while suffering from a terminal case of performative white guilt.
00:05:57.180 And that's all the land acknowledgement stuff signifies.
00:05:59.160 But it is impossible that somebody could be a competent medical professional, or even a semi-competent one, while harboring the delusion that biology is some sort of oppressive, patriarchal construct and conspiracy.
00:06:13.860 All of their medical work must happen within the context of biological realities.
00:06:19.540 If they don't understand those realities, or have pledged to pretend they don't understand them, then they can't be trusted.
00:06:25.340 I mean, I wouldn't even take Tylenol if these lunatics recommended it, because they are fatally compromised.
00:06:32.680 And we're not done yet. Let's continue.
00:06:35.640 As we enter this profession with opportunity for growth, we commit to promoting a culture of anti-racism, listening, and amplifying voices for positive change.
00:06:47.140 We pledge to honor all indigenous ways of healing that have been historically marginalized by Western medicine.
00:06:55.340 I'm sorry, what? Honor all indigenous ways of healing? All of them? All? Are you sure? All?
00:07:03.400 I mean, most indigenous ways of healing are based in paganism and animism.
00:07:08.300 You know, the belief that all things, including rocks and rivers and plants and all that, have souls and are, in a sense, supernatural.
00:07:15.480 This is the belief system that these ideas are rooted in.
00:07:18.720 And primitive people may have had some useful medical insights about plants and medicinal plants and all that,
00:07:25.160 but they were ignorant of most of the scientific realities that make modern medicine possible.
00:07:31.160 So when you say all, are we including, for example, the primitive practice of trepanation,
00:07:38.120 which is boring holes in a person's skull to treat spiritual or physical illnesses?
00:07:42.320 That's something that indigenous people in this part of the world did, especially in South America.
00:07:47.200 So are we honoring that?
00:07:49.100 What about bloodletting or topical ointments made out of animal droppings and dead lizards?
00:07:54.940 What about ritualistic and medicinal cannibalism?
00:07:58.580 Is Minnesota Medical School going to start teaching those strategies too?
00:08:01.380 In indigenous cultures, most medical issues are treated by shaman, you know, witch doctors,
00:08:07.000 who would get high on hallucinogens and then dance around shaking a magical stick or whatever.
00:08:13.500 Is that the sort of treatment plan I can now expect from doctors who earn degrees from Minnesota Medical School?
00:08:19.720 If I go to the doctor complaining of a back ache, is he going to say,
00:08:23.720 okay, hang on a second, and like dose himself with some LSD and start dancing around the room, chanting?
00:08:31.380 Perhaps so, because we wouldn't want to marginalize those medical practices.
00:08:37.300 Continuing on.
00:08:39.860 Knowing that health is intimately connected to our environment,
00:08:43.240 we commit to healing our planet and communities.
00:08:47.300 We vow to embrace our role as community members and strive to embody cultural humility.
00:08:54.180 We promise to continue restoring trust in the medical system
00:08:57.840 and fulfilling our responsibilities as educators and advocates.
00:09:02.260 We commit to collaborating with social, political, and additional systems to advance health equity.
00:09:10.840 Cultural humility, he says.
00:09:12.400 You know, the other thing that's annoying about all this is that, as always,
00:09:15.480 they never are consistent in the principle.
00:09:18.420 Cultural humility, in and of itself, I would agree with.
00:09:24.440 And there's not a lot of cultural humility these days.
00:09:27.980 Which is why we spend so much time, you know, tearing down statues and monuments and everything
00:09:35.620 and talking about the sins of our ancestors and our forefathers,
00:09:40.700 elevating ourselves above them,
00:09:43.020 you know, engaging in this kind of chronological snobbery, as I believe C.S. Lewis put it.
00:09:49.440 So we're doing that.
00:09:51.460 It's like, people that lived before us were a bunch of barbaric scumbags
00:09:56.200 simply because they lived before us, and we're better because we live now.
00:09:58.800 But then at the exact same time, we're also told that,
00:10:02.200 well, we don't want to marginalize indigenous healing methods.
00:10:06.440 So on one hand, there is no cultural humility.
00:10:09.860 And then on the other hand, there's also, at the exact same time,
00:10:12.620 this, like, degrading, debasing of yourself,
00:10:16.300 where you're elevating these primitive concepts above you.
00:10:19.720 But all this is racially based, of course.
00:10:21.340 That's how we explain the patterns.
00:10:24.060 Anyway, this is a relief,
00:10:26.320 because they did also say there in that last clip
00:10:28.800 that they're restoring trust in the medical system.
00:10:32.100 They're restoring trust by making me think
00:10:35.100 that I'm probably better off simply dying of any serious disease I contract
00:10:38.400 rather than consulting with one of these lunatics.
00:10:40.720 That's how they restore trust.
00:10:43.200 But it's always, you know, though this footage is deeply horrifying,
00:10:46.620 though it may chill you to the bone to see what modern medicine has become,
00:10:50.060 it is good that you see it.
00:10:52.040 I would rather that they utter these incantations in full public view on camera
00:10:56.440 than do it in secret.
00:10:58.460 It allows us to see where we stand,
00:11:00.520 and it also helps us to understand that we are dealing
00:11:02.740 not with an ideology or a political system.
00:11:07.060 This is not merely, you know, doctors who are partisan
00:11:09.500 or have political biases.
00:11:11.400 Those kinds of doctors have always existed, of course.
00:11:14.080 That's not what we're talking about.
00:11:14.820 We're talking about a religion.
00:11:16.300 It is a religion unlike any other in the history of the world,
00:11:19.300 because this religion is centered around
00:11:21.220 the fundamental rejection of truth.
00:11:24.380 Many religions before this have been untrue.
00:11:28.160 Many religions have had false ideas about the world,
00:11:30.880 but even the false and untrue ones have strived for truth.
00:11:35.360 They claim to be true.
00:11:37.060 They saw themselves as an access point for truth,
00:11:40.100 as maybe the only access point for truth.
00:11:42.700 But this modern Western liberal religion
00:11:45.420 simply rejects truth as a category.
00:11:49.160 Now, this is not ignorance.
00:11:51.200 Indigenous cultures,
00:11:52.400 with their often counterproductive medical practices,
00:11:55.460 were ignorant.
00:11:56.720 Through no fault of their own,
00:11:59.040 all ancient people were ignorant.
00:12:01.420 They didn't know very much
00:12:02.620 about how the physical world functions or why.
00:12:05.100 These things had not been explained to them yet.
00:12:07.780 Many cases had not been discovered yet.
00:12:10.540 But the religion of leftism stands in the light of truth.
00:12:14.060 It stands on the shoulders of people
00:12:15.740 who have revealed many important truths to them.
00:12:19.980 And then it chooses falsehood.
00:12:22.220 It chooses ignorance.
00:12:24.600 As an act of will, it chooses untruth.
00:12:27.420 There have been false religions.
00:12:32.000 This, on the other hand, is falsehood as religion.
00:12:36.240 And these cultists, these religious fanatics,
00:12:38.420 are in positions of power and prestige in our culture.
00:12:41.080 They run our schools and our government.
00:12:42.740 And now they run the medical field.
00:12:45.160 Which is something to keep in mind
00:12:47.220 the next time you have to go to the doctor, at least.
00:12:50.780 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:58.500 For those who've been following the story,
00:13:00.480 Vanderbilt Hospitals agreed to pause
00:13:01.940 all gender transition surgeries on minors.
00:13:04.220 This is a big win.
00:13:05.540 A left-wing institution caving to pressure from the right
00:13:08.160 deserves some recognition.
00:13:09.740 But the fight is far from over.
00:13:11.040 There's still so much we can do to protect our children
00:13:13.420 from this evil leftist indoctrination.
00:13:15.260 And one thing you can do today
00:13:16.380 is write a will.
00:13:18.240 You know, many new parents don't realize
00:13:19.480 how important it is to have a will in place.
00:13:21.060 But the sad truth is that
00:13:21.880 if you were to die tomorrow without a will,
00:13:23.840 the fate of your children would be left up to the state.
00:13:26.460 I don't know about you,
00:13:27.120 but I don't want the state deciding anything for my family.
00:13:29.780 Luckily, my partners over at Epic Will

00:14:01.360 Okay, we're going to start with something
00:14:02.800 gut-wrenching and stomach-churning.
00:14:05.540 This is an article written by freelance journalist
00:14:07.360 Rupa Sabramanya,
00:14:10.160 which I think I got that right,
00:14:11.460 on her sub stack.
00:14:12.340 And it's a very important article,
00:14:15.780 by the way,
00:14:16.080 that you should go look up,
00:14:17.760 and well-written.
00:14:19.700 And it's quite relevant to the topic today,
00:14:22.120 as it documents the medical industry's
00:14:24.420 further plunge into moral madness.
00:14:27.740 And by extension,
00:14:29.000 the West's plunge into moral madness.
00:14:32.100 So assisted suicide
00:14:33.100 is becoming increasingly popular
00:14:35.620 in the West,
00:14:36.320 especially in Canada.
00:14:37.980 And starts in Canada and filters down.
00:14:39.840 That land acknowledgement nonsense
00:14:41.440 grew,
00:14:43.020 became prominent,
00:14:44.540 became popular in Canada,
00:14:45.980 and is filtering down now
00:14:47.140 into the United States.
00:14:49.620 Same thing with the expansion
00:14:51.780 of assisted suicide.
00:14:53.120 So popular West,
00:14:54.440 especially in Canada.
00:14:56.060 And in Canada,
00:14:56.820 the laws have been repeatedly adjusted
00:14:59.280 to make more people eligible
00:15:01.060 for this sort of
00:15:02.680 quote-unquote treatment.
00:15:06.060 And it's getting to the point
00:15:07.720 where in some parts of Canada,
00:15:10.100 assisted suicide,
00:15:11.480 euthanasia,
00:15:12.140 is one of the leading causes of death.
00:15:14.160 That's how common it is.
00:15:16.300 As the author documents in this article,
00:15:18.220 it's become an epidemic,
00:15:19.280 and now it's an epidemic
00:15:20.080 that includes
00:15:21.420 very young people,
00:15:23.140 even kids.
00:15:23.920 So I'm going to read
00:15:25.760 some of this now.
00:15:28.000 On September 7th,
00:15:29.280 Margaret Marcilla
00:15:30.240 called Joshua Tepper
00:15:31.740 the doctor who planned
00:15:32.800 to kill her son.
00:15:34.580 Marcilla is 46.
00:15:35.700 She lives outside Toronto
00:15:36.680 with her husband and daughter,
00:15:37.740 a nursing student.
00:15:39.040 She had known
00:15:39.720 that her 23-year-old son,
00:15:42.240 Keanu Vafayan,
00:15:44.320 was depressed.
00:15:45.780 He was diabetic,
00:15:46.900 had lost his vision in one eye,
00:15:48.300 and he didn't have a job,
00:15:49.220 a girlfriend,
00:15:49.640 and much of a future.
00:15:50.900 And Marcilla asked her daughter
00:15:52.280 to log on
00:15:53.240 to Keanu's account.
00:15:54.240 Keanu had given his sister access
00:15:55.340 so she could help him
00:15:56.060 with his email.
00:15:57.080 He never shared anything
00:15:57.880 with his mother,
00:15:58.480 what he was thinking,
00:15:59.220 where he was going,
00:15:59.880 and Marcilla was scared.
00:16:01.340 That was when Marcilla learned
00:16:02.300 that Keanu
00:16:02.900 had applied in the late July,
00:16:04.640 had been approved
00:16:05.200 for medical assistance
00:16:06.460 in dying,
00:16:07.340 a.k.a.
00:16:08.220 MAID,
00:16:08.720 M-A-I-D,
00:16:10.160 a.k.a.
00:16:10.940 assisted suicide.
00:16:12.780 His death was scheduled
00:16:14.080 for September 22nd.
00:16:15.440 In a September 7th email
00:16:16.720 from Tepper,
00:16:17.540 the doctor,
00:16:18.120 to Keanu
00:16:18.560 and Tecla Hendrickson,
00:16:19.800 the executive director
00:16:20.760 for MAID House,
00:16:21.820 the Toronto facility
00:16:22.640 where Keanu's death
00:16:23.380 would take place,
00:16:24.620 Tepper mapped out the schedule.
00:16:26.760 Here's the email.
00:16:28.120 Hi, he emailed.
00:16:29.660 I'm confirming
00:16:30.420 the following time.
00:16:31.500 Please arrive at 8.30 a.m.
00:16:32.840 I will ask for the nurse
00:16:33.860 at 8.45 a.m.,
00:16:34.880 and I will start the procedure
00:16:36.040 at around 9 a.m.
00:16:37.920 Procedure will be completed
00:16:38.960 a few minutes
00:16:39.540 after it starts.
00:16:41.440 Okay.
00:16:42.360 Let's pause for a second here
00:16:43.480 to take note of
00:16:44.580 one of the most insidious
00:16:46.380 aspects of assisted suicide.
00:16:48.700 Notice the language
00:16:49.820 that's being used.
00:16:51.220 Procedure.
00:16:52.340 Treatment.
00:16:52.960 Right?
00:16:53.200 You're going to a facility.
00:16:54.660 There's appointments.
00:16:56.320 Someone's emailing you
00:16:57.200 to confirm the appointment.
00:16:58.700 Working out logistics.
00:16:59.760 It sounds like
00:17:00.140 a communication between,
00:17:02.360 you know,
00:17:02.880 that you would have
00:17:03.300 with a dentist
00:17:03.820 or something,
00:17:04.460 an orthodontist.
00:17:05.860 And the effect
00:17:06.860 is that we are
00:17:07.560 sanitizing suicide.
00:17:09.000 We are sanitizing death.
00:17:10.360 We're making it seem
00:17:11.080 like something
00:17:11.520 other than it is.
00:17:13.340 And this doesn't
00:17:14.160 just make suicidal people
00:17:15.340 feel better
00:17:15.940 about their suicides,
00:17:17.220 which would be bad enough.
00:17:20.000 Okay.
00:17:20.200 I don't see any difference
00:17:20.780 between this
00:17:21.240 and you see a suicidal person
00:17:22.720 who's standing
00:17:24.040 at the edge of a bridge
00:17:25.860 and about to jump off.
00:17:27.660 And rather than trying
00:17:28.560 to convince him
00:17:29.300 to step back from the edge,
00:17:30.580 you just try to make him
00:17:31.300 feel better about
00:17:32.040 what he's going to do.
00:17:32.880 Oh, go ahead.
00:17:33.480 It'll be fine.
00:17:33.960 It won't hurt that much.
00:17:36.540 Like, if someone did that,
00:17:37.820 I mean,
00:17:38.020 if you were to witness
00:17:38.680 a scene like that,
00:17:39.660 a suicidal person
00:17:40.780 standing at the edge
00:17:41.360 of a bridge,
00:17:42.000 someone else shouting to them
00:17:43.100 to make them feel
00:17:43.500 better about it,
00:17:44.700 it'll be painless,
00:17:45.360 I promise.
00:17:46.560 You would think
00:17:48.080 that person's a monster.
00:17:49.560 What kind of person are you?
00:17:50.560 This person needs help.
00:17:52.600 They're going to throw
00:17:53.240 their life away.
00:17:53.920 We don't want to see
00:17:54.520 that happen.
00:17:56.920 And yet,
00:17:57.440 this is exactly
00:17:58.340 what's happening
00:17:59.020 in the case
00:18:01.340 of assisted suicide.
00:18:02.060 And as I'm talking
00:18:03.560 about this,
00:18:03.980 I'm remembering
00:18:04.540 that there have been
00:18:05.400 criminal cases
00:18:06.740 that I forget
00:18:07.300 the girl's name,
00:18:08.260 but there was a
00:18:08.760 famous criminal case
00:18:10.300 in this country
00:18:12.440 a few years ago
00:18:13.360 of a girl
00:18:15.060 who encouraged
00:18:17.200 her boyfriend
00:18:17.740 to commit suicide.
00:18:19.200 And he was depressed
00:18:20.160 and she encouraged it
00:18:21.180 and she kept telling him
00:18:22.800 that it'll be fine
00:18:23.780 and he was even
00:18:24.540 in his car
00:18:26.000 about to commit suicide
00:18:27.040 and she was coaching him
00:18:28.260 through it
00:18:28.660 and saying,
00:18:29.080 it'll be painless,
00:18:29.680 it'll be fine,
00:18:30.220 this is how you make
00:18:31.360 your problems go away.
00:18:34.100 And she was charged
00:18:35.040 with crime for that
00:18:35.780 and for good reason.
00:18:38.620 Yet this is exactly
00:18:39.860 what is happening
00:18:40.600 with assisted suicide
00:18:41.560 and it's happening
00:18:42.160 in a medical context
00:18:43.260 and because the person
00:18:44.020 has a white coat
00:18:45.220 and can call themselves
00:18:47.120 a doctor,
00:18:47.740 suddenly it's okay.
00:18:51.260 But it's even worse
00:18:53.500 than that.
00:18:53.960 It's not just making
00:18:54.680 suicidal people feel
00:18:55.460 better about their suicide,
00:18:56.580 it's also
00:18:57.140 making it seem appealing
00:19:01.360 to people
00:19:02.980 who otherwise
00:19:04.400 wouldn't be suicidal.
00:19:05.760 It encourages suicide,
00:19:07.180 in other words.
00:19:08.380 Quite intentionally,
00:19:09.340 of course.
00:19:11.100 The other thing
00:19:11.560 to keep in mind
00:19:11.960 as we go through this
00:19:12.720 and we'll get to this article
00:19:14.500 in a moment,
00:19:15.940 but it's worth emphasizing
00:19:16.920 that we are way past
00:19:18.440 the point of euthanasia
00:19:20.220 for elderly people
00:19:21.720 who are terminally ill
00:19:22.940 and going to be dead
00:19:24.140 next week anyway.
00:19:25.320 And I think still
00:19:25.880 when you hear about euthanasia,
00:19:26.740 that's what comes to mind,
00:19:27.680 but we are way past that.
00:19:29.140 We're talking about
00:19:30.000 putting down like dogs,
00:19:32.780 physically healthy people,
00:19:34.120 young people,
00:19:34.780 people who should have
00:19:35.440 long lives in front of them.
00:19:38.020 We are much further
00:19:39.260 down the slippery slope.
00:19:40.860 It's a slope
00:19:41.760 that some of us
00:19:42.680 warned would happen
00:19:44.680 if we legalized
00:19:46.080 euthanasia at all.
00:19:47.640 Some of us have been warning
00:19:49.620 about this for years.
00:19:52.160 We said if doctors
00:19:53.860 get into the business
00:19:54.920 of doling out death
00:19:56.660 as a way to get around
00:19:59.160 a problem that you're having
00:20:00.240 or to deal with
00:20:00.980 a problem that you're having,
00:20:01.540 even if it's a very
00:20:02.080 serious problem,
00:20:03.460 a fatal problem,
00:20:04.260 like a terminal illness,
00:20:05.380 once doctors get into
00:20:06.580 the business of that,
00:20:07.560 there is no end.
00:20:08.860 There's no floor.
00:20:09.680 There's no basement.
00:20:13.480 And we warned about that
00:20:14.860 and we were ignored.
00:20:16.900 But here's the thing.
00:20:17.860 We are always right.
00:20:19.080 When we warn about
00:20:21.140 the slippery slope,
00:20:21.980 we are always right.
00:20:23.480 Always.
00:20:24.440 Always.
00:20:25.940 Always.
00:20:26.860 We have never been wrong.
00:20:28.740 We've been right
00:20:29.400 every single time.
00:20:32.100 Maybe at some point
00:20:32.880 people will start
00:20:33.320 listening to us.
00:20:35.620 And you still have
00:20:36.220 these morons
00:20:36.780 who treat the slippery slope.
00:20:37.680 Oh, it's a fallacy.
00:20:38.520 Slippery slope's a fallacy.
00:20:39.320 Oh, it's a fallacy.
00:20:40.080 It's just that we're right
00:20:41.600 every single time.
00:20:45.760 Continuing along,
00:20:46.440 it says,
00:20:46.540 the procedure entailed
00:20:47.520 administering two drugs,
00:20:48.980 first a coma-inducing agent,
00:20:50.600 then a neuromuscular blocker
00:20:52.240 that would stop
00:20:52.780 Keanu's breathing.
00:20:53.680 He'd be dead
00:20:54.140 in five to ten minutes.
00:20:55.080 Apparently,
00:20:55.460 Keanu wanted to bring
00:20:56.260 a dog with him.
00:20:57.660 In an email to him
00:20:58.420 that same day,
00:20:59.100 Hendrickson said,
00:21:00.200 dogs are welcome
00:21:00.920 in the space
00:21:01.420 as long as there's
00:21:02.060 someone there
00:21:02.540 who will be responsible
00:21:03.340 for them
00:21:03.780 during the time
00:21:04.380 at Maid House.
00:21:05.820 Marcello was terrified.
00:21:06.700 She had tried
00:21:07.080 to do everything
00:21:07.640 for her son,
00:21:08.360 but it had been
00:21:08.820 rough for him.
00:21:10.620 And it goes into
00:21:11.320 what he'd gone through
00:21:12.420 in his life.
00:21:13.400 He'd been through
00:21:13.840 a lot of
00:21:14.140 very difficult things.
00:21:15.720 He was unhappy.
00:21:17.500 And that's when
00:21:18.460 he decided to reach out
00:21:19.980 about being killed.
00:21:23.540 Now,
00:21:24.000 the story doesn't
00:21:24.540 really have a,
00:21:25.360 you know,
00:21:25.520 there's no ending
00:21:26.440 really to the story.
00:21:27.140 Certainly not a happy one.
00:21:28.280 It goes on to say
00:21:29.000 that after the mother's
00:21:29.800 efforts to fight
00:21:30.580 against this,
00:21:31.240 the suicide appointment
00:21:32.080 was canceled.
00:21:33.500 But her son
00:21:34.300 is still in despair.
00:21:35.980 He hates his mom now
00:21:37.160 for trying to save him.
00:21:39.120 Though he does,
00:21:40.320 he doesn't right now
00:21:41.620 have an active appointment
00:21:42.520 to kill himself.
00:21:43.320 So that's the positive.
00:21:44.720 The negative is that,
00:21:45.680 you know,
00:21:45.860 he's far from
00:21:46.900 out of the woods
00:21:47.420 and same for her.
00:21:48.780 The struggle goes on.
00:21:50.720 And that's how it should be.
00:21:52.140 Right?
00:21:52.440 Because we fight
00:21:53.180 for life.
00:21:54.140 We don't give up on it.
00:21:55.500 And when someone's
00:21:56.140 going through
00:21:56.720 a time like this,
00:21:58.600 a very dark time,
00:22:00.040 and you try to help them,
00:22:01.600 it's very likely
00:22:02.420 that they're going to
00:22:02.780 lash out at you.
00:22:03.420 They're going to start
00:22:03.780 blaming you.
00:22:04.420 I mean,
00:22:04.520 you're trying to help them
00:22:05.400 and save them
00:22:05.960 and they're going to
00:22:06.520 take it out on you.
00:22:07.520 That's what her,
00:22:08.380 this guy's mom
00:22:09.480 is dealing with.
00:22:10.060 But you keep
00:22:12.960 fighting for it
00:22:13.660 because life is
00:22:14.540 worth fighting for.
00:22:15.260 If it's not,
00:22:15.660 then what's the point
00:22:16.140 of anything?
00:22:17.580 What's the point of it?
00:22:18.560 Everyone's worried
00:22:19.000 about nuclear war.
00:22:19.700 We might as well
00:22:20.000 all just incinerate
00:22:20.660 ourselves with nukes
00:22:22.140 on purpose
00:22:22.640 and be done with it
00:22:23.460 if life is not
00:22:24.480 worth fighting for
00:22:25.120 and saving.
00:22:28.100 We can't get to the point
00:22:28.960 where we say,
00:22:29.300 well, this person
00:22:29.720 is depressed
00:22:30.220 and they'll always
00:22:31.500 be like this.
00:22:32.040 There's no point
00:22:32.460 in him living anymore.
00:22:33.200 Let's put him down
00:22:33.880 like an old golden retriever
00:22:35.120 and move on.
00:22:37.100 No, you keep
00:22:37.500 fighting for life.
00:22:38.180 And then the article
00:22:40.920 goes on to talk
00:22:41.480 about the numbers
00:22:42.300 right now
00:22:42.740 and how in Canada
00:22:43.760 especially they are
00:22:45.140 rapidly increasing.
00:22:47.200 You know,
00:22:47.420 year over year
00:22:48.080 over year,
00:22:48.540 more and more people
00:22:49.280 falling victim
00:22:50.780 to euthanasia
00:22:51.500 and the reason
00:22:52.040 why it's increasing
00:22:52.760 is because,
00:22:53.740 well, we live
00:22:54.040 in a culture of death
00:22:54.820 that encourages
00:22:55.340 this kind of thing
00:22:55.980 and encourages despair
00:22:56.840 and also at the same time
00:22:58.060 they are relaxing
00:23:00.400 and relaxing
00:23:01.040 and amending the laws
00:23:02.320 to include more
00:23:03.660 and more people.
00:23:05.580 And now,
00:23:06.200 as we said,
00:23:06.980 you could get euthanasia
00:23:08.160 even if you don't
00:23:08.680 have a terminal illness
00:23:09.520 even if you're young
00:23:10.680 and now
00:23:11.660 they're even talking
00:23:12.400 about amending
00:23:13.720 the law again
00:23:14.640 so that children
00:23:17.640 without parental consent
00:23:19.660 so that teenagers,
00:23:20.980 okay,
00:23:21.260 minors,
00:23:21.800 it's what they're calling
00:23:22.900 a mature minor doctrine
00:23:24.380 under the mature minor,
00:23:26.080 the so-called
00:23:26.500 mature minor doctrine,
00:23:27.980 minors
00:23:29.780 can get euthanasia
00:23:31.700 without parental consent.
00:23:32.580 So they're going
00:23:34.200 to start killing
00:23:34.760 teenagers
00:23:35.240 without parental consent.
00:23:37.440 Full-on moral collapse,
00:23:38.860 I mean,
00:23:39.180 just complete
00:23:40.220 in the West.
00:23:42.060 And this is also
00:23:42.780 the continued,
00:23:43.540 we talk about
00:23:43.960 self-immolation,
00:23:44.760 it's the continued
00:23:45.400 self-immolation
00:23:46.240 of medicine,
00:23:48.020 of the medical profession
00:23:49.160 as it continues
00:23:51.420 to profit
00:23:53.140 off of harm.
00:23:54.940 many such cases
00:23:58.740 and it's really
00:24:00.800 the so-called
00:24:01.920 affirmative care model
00:24:03.260 brought to its
00:24:04.080 inevitable
00:24:04.480 and violent
00:24:05.480 and quite
00:24:07.220 grotesque conclusion.
00:24:09.360 We know about
00:24:10.060 the affirmative care model
00:24:11.180 when it comes to gender
00:24:12.440 and someone
00:24:13.260 who's gender confused
00:24:14.180 and in despair
00:24:14.840 because of their
00:24:15.400 gender confusion,
00:24:16.540 they come in
00:24:17.340 and they have
00:24:17.800 that confusion affirmed
00:24:19.500 rather than having
00:24:21.500 reality affirmed,
00:24:22.440 they have their
00:24:22.760 confusion affirmed
00:24:23.720 and then they just
00:24:24.260 fall deeper and deeper
00:24:24.940 into despair
00:24:25.480 and now the same
00:24:26.320 thing is happening
00:24:26.780 with depression.
00:24:28.580 A depressed
00:24:29.280 and suicidal person
00:24:30.080 comes to the doctor
00:24:30.780 and they have
00:24:31.540 their depression
00:24:32.080 and suicide
00:24:32.640 confirmed
00:24:33.140 and affirmed.
00:24:35.480 Rather than saying,
00:24:36.880 no, you'll get
00:24:37.260 through this,
00:24:37.860 it's not going to be
00:24:38.360 like this your whole life,
00:24:38.940 your life is still
00:24:39.380 worth living,
00:24:40.940 they're told,
00:24:41.420 yeah, you know what,
00:24:41.940 if you feel like this now,
00:24:42.880 you're never not
00:24:43.360 going to feel like this
00:24:44.120 and so you might as
00:24:46.120 well kill yourself.
00:24:48.000 But they're being told.
00:24:50.700 It's just
00:24:51.300 so barbaric
00:24:53.360 especially for those
00:24:55.440 of us who are
00:24:56.040 a little bit older
00:24:56.600 and have lived
00:24:57.060 a while
00:24:57.980 and, you know,
00:24:59.900 we know that
00:25:00.600 you can go through
00:25:01.160 times in life,
00:25:01.780 you can go through
00:25:02.280 periods,
00:25:02.760 you can go through
00:25:03.240 very dark periods
00:25:04.360 in life.
00:25:04.700 I mean,
00:25:04.800 many people have.
00:25:05.940 You go through
00:25:06.320 very dark periods
00:25:07.280 and they can be so dark
00:25:09.280 that you don't see
00:25:09.740 an end to it.
00:25:10.460 You feel lost.
00:25:11.060 You don't see the light
00:25:11.660 at the end of the tunnel.
00:25:12.240 You feel like it's
00:25:12.600 going to be like this
00:25:13.040 forever.
00:25:13.940 And then in so many
00:25:15.960 cases,
00:25:16.580 you come out of it.
00:25:18.860 And maybe there'll be
00:25:19.340 a time in your life
00:25:19.840 when you go back into it.
00:25:20.800 That's part of life.
00:25:21.760 Life is hard
00:25:23.060 and there's
00:25:23.880 suffering involved.
00:25:26.520 But when you're
00:25:27.240 in your lowest moment
00:25:28.180 and you're suffering
00:25:28.740 your most,
00:25:29.480 it doesn't mean
00:25:30.360 it's going to be
00:25:30.760 like that forever.
00:25:33.560 That should be
00:25:34.260 the message.
00:25:34.640 That's a message
00:25:35.020 of hope,
00:25:35.600 but it's not
00:25:37.400 what we're getting
00:25:37.720 anymore.
00:25:39.340 All right.
00:25:40.600 Kanye West
00:25:41.460 was trending again.
00:25:42.980 This time
00:25:43.600 because of this
00:25:45.000 article from Vice.
00:25:46.320 It says,
00:25:46.640 Fox News recently
00:25:47.440 aired a two-part
00:25:48.240 interview between
00:25:48.880 Tucker Carlson
00:25:49.640 and Yeh,
00:25:50.380 the artist formerly
00:25:51.040 known as Kanye West.
00:25:52.700 Motherboard has obtained
00:25:53.900 portions of the interview
00:25:55.220 that were edited out
00:25:56.080 of the final broadcast.
00:25:57.480 These include
00:25:58.200 numerous anti-Semitic
00:25:59.420 statements from Yeh,
00:26:00.480 a strange and lengthy
00:26:01.480 digression about fake
00:26:02.620 children he claimed
00:26:03.460 were planted in his
00:26:04.240 house to manipulate
00:26:04.880 his own children,
00:26:06.060 and a statement that
00:26:06.660 he's vaccinated
00:26:07.220 against COVID-19.
00:26:09.640 Carlson used the
00:26:10.340 interview,
00:26:10.700 which was presented
00:26:11.340 as a piece of
00:26:12.020 landmark television,
00:26:13.460 to hit on a few
00:26:14.260 of Fox News'
00:26:15.060 favorite boogeymen
00:26:15.640 with Yeh's
00:26:16.260 enthusiastic anticipation.
00:26:17.960 The Clintons,
00:26:18.680 former President Obama,
00:26:19.540 COVID restrictions,
00:26:20.200 and of course,
00:26:20.540 the Kardashians.
00:26:21.940 But what the
00:26:22.240 Tucker Carlson team
00:26:22.900 chose to leave out
00:26:23.780 is just as revealing.
00:26:25.300 In the version of
00:26:25.800 the interview that
00:26:26.320 made it to air,
00:26:27.000 Yeh described what
00:26:27.620 he said was pressure
00:26:28.740 not to support
00:26:29.320 Donald Trump
00:26:29.820 when the latter
00:26:30.560 was a candidate,
00:26:31.400 called the singer
00:26:31.940 Lizzo clinically
00:26:32.740 unhealthy for her
00:26:33.460 weight,
00:26:33.700 which is true.
00:26:34.680 And anyway,
00:26:35.520 talking about
00:26:35.760 White Lives Matter
00:26:36.200 so we know about
00:26:36.640 that.
00:26:37.080 Yada, yada.
00:26:38.300 So they have
00:26:40.040 some of the stuff
00:26:40.800 that was edited out,
00:26:42.440 and it's mostly
00:26:43.740 just Kanye
00:26:45.340 rambling in
00:26:46.900 relatively incoherent
00:26:48.320 ways.
00:26:49.340 So here's one
00:26:50.260 example of one
00:26:50.940 of those clips.
00:26:52.880 I'll talk to him
00:26:53.720 if I see him.
00:26:54.800 Yep.
00:26:55.960 But I guarantee
00:26:56.600 he's seen me.
00:26:57.820 I have visions
00:26:59.020 that God gives me
00:27:00.600 just over and over
00:27:02.160 on community building
00:27:03.400 and how to build
00:27:04.840 these free energy,
00:27:08.480 kinetic,
00:27:09.600 fully kinetic energy
00:27:11.080 communities where
00:27:13.320 we impress,
00:27:15.740 we put the least
00:27:16.940 impression on the
00:27:18.100 earth.
00:27:18.300 We're not building
00:27:19.180 the new New York
00:27:21.320 skyline fight
00:27:23.060 that we are humble
00:27:26.200 in the way that
00:27:27.920 we present ourselves.
00:27:28.920 We've got to rethink
00:27:30.020 who we are as a
00:27:30.780 species.
00:27:35.000 Okay.
00:27:35.940 So that's
00:27:37.060 some scandalous
00:27:37.960 stuff there.
00:27:38.520 That was edited out.
00:27:39.340 First of all,
00:27:39.760 the real story here
00:27:40.840 is that someone
00:27:41.760 on the production
00:27:42.640 team,
00:27:43.260 presumably someone
00:27:44.040 on the production
00:27:44.420 team,
00:27:46.460 someone,
00:27:47.060 you know,
00:27:47.420 I guess we can't
00:27:49.120 know for sure,
00:27:49.760 but someone involved,
00:27:50.680 someone who had
00:27:50.980 access to the raw
00:27:51.680 footage leaked
00:27:53.840 that raw footage
00:27:54.860 from the Tucker Carlson
00:27:55.820 interview to the
00:27:56.540 left-wing press.
00:27:57.820 So to me,
00:27:58.200 that's the real
00:27:58.620 story.
00:27:59.960 And because that
00:28:01.780 doesn't happen.
00:28:03.320 That's like,
00:28:03.700 when's the last
00:28:04.080 time that you've
00:28:04.940 heard of that
00:28:05.240 happening?
00:28:05.520 And it's
00:28:06.860 the kind
00:28:07.240 of thing
00:28:07.700 you only
00:28:08.980 have to worry
00:28:09.600 about if
00:28:10.440 you're a
00:28:10.760 conservative.
00:28:11.520 Because it
00:28:12.040 never happens
00:28:12.620 the other
00:28:12.880 way.
00:28:13.720 But if you're
00:28:14.060 a conservative,
00:28:14.520 you always have
00:28:14.940 to worry about
00:28:15.500 some secret
00:28:16.180 leftist on
00:28:17.000 your crew
00:28:17.500 who will
00:28:17.780 just absolutely
00:28:18.520 betray you
00:28:19.500 because he
00:28:20.520 has no
00:28:20.880 ethical
00:28:21.160 standards.
00:28:23.540 Another
00:28:23.940 of the,
00:28:24.600 if we call
00:28:26.780 it advantages
00:28:27.420 that people
00:28:27.980 have on the
00:28:28.360 left is it's
00:28:28.980 like no
00:28:29.300 ethical standards,
00:28:30.000 no moral
00:28:30.360 standards at
00:28:30.860 all,
00:28:31.080 just do
00:28:31.320 whatever you
00:28:31.640 want.
00:28:32.400 I mean,
00:28:32.920 some leftist
00:28:33.540 rat leaked a
00:28:34.440 SCOTUS decision.
00:28:35.580 So obviously
00:28:36.240 there's nothing
00:28:36.780 that they won't
00:28:37.320 do.
00:28:38.540 And what is
00:28:39.120 the bombshell
00:28:39.660 here exactly?
00:28:40.580 That Tucker
00:28:40.960 Carlson cut
00:28:41.840 stuff from
00:28:42.380 the interview
00:28:42.760 because it
00:28:43.100 was off
00:28:43.400 topic or
00:28:43.920 unintelligible
00:28:44.400 or just
00:28:45.480 not relevant?
00:28:46.640 Wow.
00:28:47.940 Amazing.
00:28:48.760 I didn't know
00:28:50.020 they did that
00:28:50.420 with interviews.
00:28:51.660 I had no
00:28:52.060 idea.
00:28:52.880 A pre-recorded
00:28:53.620 interview,
00:28:53.940 I didn't know
00:28:54.200 that they
00:28:54.400 actually edited
00:28:55.060 it and took
00:28:55.560 stuff out and
00:28:56.320 tried to get
00:28:57.020 it down to a
00:28:57.860 reasonable length
00:28:58.520 so that it
00:28:58.860 would go out
00:28:59.280 on air.
00:29:00.860 Yeah,
00:29:01.320 if there's
00:29:01.880 a digression
00:29:03.120 into something
00:29:03.640 that's not
00:29:03.960 relevant or
00:29:04.480 interesting or
00:29:05.580 doesn't make
00:29:05.960 sense that they
00:29:06.540 cut that,
00:29:07.000 I have no
00:29:07.260 idea.
00:29:07.840 This is
00:29:08.600 amazing.
00:29:10.860 Bombshell,
00:29:11.420 devastating.
00:29:11.860 There are
00:29:11.980 people passing
00:29:12.520 this around
00:29:13.100 yesterday.
00:29:13.600 Of course,
00:29:13.820 leftists,
00:29:14.580 devastating.
00:29:15.680 This is
00:29:16.120 devastating.
00:29:17.420 Devastating for
00:29:18.040 who?
00:29:19.640 No one is
00:29:20.320 surprised by
00:29:20.900 this.
00:29:21.220 This is what,
00:29:21.740 of course,
00:29:22.860 now if I'm
00:29:23.380 doing the
00:29:23.620 interview with
00:29:23.980 Kanye and he
00:29:24.740 starts going
00:29:25.580 on about free
00:29:26.560 energy communities
00:29:27.340 or whatever,
00:29:28.100 which by the
00:29:28.460 way,
00:29:28.620 that's silly,
00:29:29.580 but that's also
00:29:30.260 what you hear on
00:29:30.860 the left all
00:29:31.300 the time.
00:29:32.040 In Saudi Arabia,
00:29:36.180 they're talking
00:29:36.760 about trying to
00:29:37.160 do something
00:29:37.480 like that.
00:29:37.920 They're building
00:29:38.280 a big community
00:29:38.940 and a giant
00:29:39.480 wall that's
00:29:40.520 going to be
00:29:40.820 whatever.
00:29:41.340 It's going to
00:29:41.580 have no impact
00:29:42.400 on the environment
00:29:43.180 allegedly.
00:29:44.540 I'd cut that
00:29:45.720 out too because
00:29:46.360 who cares?
00:29:48.200 No one cares
00:29:48.860 about that.
00:29:49.300 It's irrelevant.
00:29:50.060 It's a tangent.
00:29:50.460 As for Kanye
00:29:53.060 himself,
00:29:55.300 it's not
00:29:56.100 terribly complicated.
00:29:57.960 So all the
00:29:58.920 Kanye discourse,
00:29:59.860 I have to
00:30:00.260 confess,
00:30:01.720 I find
00:30:02.220 somewhat
00:30:02.640 annoying.
00:30:03.920 And I find
00:30:05.000 it somewhat
00:30:05.380 annoying on
00:30:06.460 all sides.
00:30:07.200 And I'll tell
00:30:07.520 you why.
00:30:07.840 Because Kanye
00:30:08.640 West,
00:30:09.460 he's a brilliant
00:30:11.140 artist.
00:30:13.000 He's brilliant
00:30:13.800 creatively.
00:30:15.220 And there's no
00:30:15.560 doubt about that.
00:30:16.200 but he's not
00:30:18.660 a philosopher
00:30:19.380 or some kind
00:30:21.320 of great
00:30:21.840 thinker when it
00:30:23.220 comes to
00:30:23.560 important social
00:30:24.300 issues.
00:30:25.080 I also don't
00:30:25.740 think he's crazy
00:30:26.380 as people claim.
00:30:27.840 He's going
00:30:28.200 through a
00:30:28.460 psychotic
00:30:28.820 episode.
00:30:29.460 I don't see
00:30:30.120 that.
00:30:30.900 I don't think
00:30:31.260 that's true
00:30:31.600 either.
00:30:32.760 I think he
00:30:33.360 just kind of
00:30:33.800 rambles.
00:30:34.880 And lots of
00:30:36.340 people ramble.
00:30:37.340 But because he's
00:30:38.100 a rich and
00:30:38.640 famous celebrity,
00:30:39.380 this has also
00:30:39.940 fed his ego.
00:30:41.940 And that's
00:30:42.660 also been part
00:30:43.320 of his brand
00:30:43.880 and his deal
00:30:44.640 for as long
00:30:45.540 as he's been
00:30:45.920 on the scene.
00:30:46.760 This immense
00:30:48.760 sort of ego.
00:30:50.500 And sometimes
00:30:52.560 in music it
00:30:53.400 can be kind
00:30:53.860 of funny.
00:30:54.740 And then other
00:30:55.180 times it leads
00:30:55.980 to stuff like
00:30:56.460 this.
00:30:57.120 But so he's
00:30:57.500 got, you know,
00:30:57.960 like many rich
00:30:59.100 and famous
00:30:59.420 people, so he
00:31:00.300 got the ego
00:31:00.860 and the ego
00:31:01.920 is fed.
00:31:02.480 And he
00:31:03.240 believes that
00:31:03.740 everything he
00:31:04.220 thinks and
00:31:04.640 says is
00:31:05.020 profound and
00:31:05.620 brilliant.
00:31:06.080 And he's
00:31:06.320 been encouraged
00:31:07.160 in that belief
00:31:07.960 by the yes
00:31:08.720 men around
00:31:09.200 him to think
00:31:09.800 that about
00:31:10.540 himself.
00:31:11.340 And so he
00:31:11.620 just keeps
00:31:11.980 babbling about
00:31:12.660 stuff.
00:31:13.100 And much of
00:31:13.900 it is silly
00:31:14.600 and doesn't
00:31:14.920 make a ton
00:31:15.260 of sense.
00:31:16.840 Sometimes it
00:31:17.420 actually is
00:31:17.920 profound.
00:31:18.520 I mean, he's
00:31:18.740 spoken powerfully
00:31:19.420 about the
00:31:19.780 pro-life issue.
00:31:21.400 And when
00:31:22.500 someone says
00:31:22.920 something powerful
00:31:23.600 and true about
00:31:24.140 pro-life issue,
00:31:24.760 there's nothing
00:31:24.980 wrong with the
00:31:25.560 rest of us
00:31:25.860 pointing it
00:31:26.260 out and
00:31:26.520 saying, well,
00:31:27.120 that's powerful
00:31:27.600 and true.
00:31:27.980 he had a
00:31:30.320 line also in
00:31:30.820 that Tucker
00:31:31.080 interview where
00:31:31.520 he said
00:31:31.800 something like
00:31:32.340 an artist
00:31:32.760 doesn't
00:31:33.120 explain himself
00:31:33.940 but a
00:31:34.280 leader does.
00:31:35.260 It's a very
00:31:35.680 simple,
00:31:36.340 interesting line.
00:31:37.380 I think it's
00:31:37.960 probably true.
00:31:40.100 Something to
00:31:40.700 think about.
00:31:41.600 So Kanye will
00:31:42.120 have moments
00:31:42.720 like that because
00:31:43.920 he's a smart
00:31:44.360 guy from a
00:31:45.380 creative perspective.
00:31:46.580 But again, he's
00:31:47.100 not a philosopher.
00:31:48.620 And that's fine
00:31:49.540 because most of
00:31:50.200 us aren't.
00:31:51.620 The problem is
00:31:52.560 just when we
00:31:53.140 pick through
00:31:53.720 every comment
00:31:54.720 this guy makes
00:31:55.480 even to the
00:31:56.180 point of
00:31:56.500 sifting through
00:31:58.620 raw footage of
00:31:59.840 an interview for
00:32:00.480 stuff that was
00:32:00.940 taken out,
00:32:02.020 looking for
00:32:02.980 deeper significance
00:32:03.940 and then elevating
00:32:05.860 him as either a
00:32:06.700 hero or a
00:32:07.400 villain.
00:32:08.580 Making him into
00:32:09.660 a philosopher
00:32:12.880 king or
00:32:14.100 Adolf Hitler.
00:32:16.800 Is it possible
00:32:17.640 that he's just
00:32:18.040 neither of those
00:32:18.700 things?
00:32:19.520 He's a musical
00:32:20.260 artist who's
00:32:20.940 made a lot of
00:32:21.460 interesting music
00:32:22.260 and he's got a
00:32:24.320 bunch of
00:32:24.620 other opinions
00:32:26.000 about things
00:32:26.660 and some of
00:32:28.120 those opinions
00:32:28.560 I agree with
00:32:30.940 and are
00:32:31.260 interesting and
00:32:32.200 some of those
00:32:32.600 opinions are
00:32:32.980 totally off the
00:32:33.460 wall.
00:32:34.940 Also, by the
00:32:35.300 way, I can
00:32:36.620 tell you this,
00:32:37.040 he's definitely
00:32:37.920 not the first
00:32:38.480 musical artist
00:32:39.080 who falls into
00:32:39.560 that category.
00:32:40.180 That would be
00:32:40.540 like all of
00:32:41.340 them who've
00:32:42.300 ever lived.
00:32:44.720 Being kind of
00:32:45.640 eccentric is a
00:32:47.600 common trait
00:32:48.960 among artists.
00:32:50.980 And having
00:32:51.780 opinions and
00:32:52.440 ideas that are
00:32:53.640 objectionable,
00:32:54.180 also common
00:32:55.340 trait among
00:32:55.720 artists.
00:32:57.280 The only
00:32:57.860 difference is
00:32:58.280 that now we
00:32:58.640 live in the
00:32:58.940 social media
00:32:59.460 era and
00:33:00.020 24-7 cable
00:33:00.820 news and
00:33:01.260 the internet
00:33:01.560 and so we
00:33:01.940 just like we're
00:33:02.660 surrounded.
00:33:03.340 If someone is
00:33:04.200 famous for one
00:33:05.120 thing, we have
00:33:06.340 access to their
00:33:07.600 thoughts on
00:33:08.180 everything else.
00:33:10.620 And so that's
00:33:11.320 part of what's
00:33:11.660 happening.
00:33:12.660 Speaking of
00:33:13.300 unintelligible,
00:33:14.060 here's MSNBC's
00:33:15.740 report about
00:33:16.640 John Fetterman.
00:33:17.520 This is from
00:33:17.960 MSNBC.
00:33:18.740 So this is them
00:33:19.580 telling us this,
00:33:21.020 which is
00:33:22.380 interesting.
00:33:22.760 Let's watch.
00:33:24.920 We had a
00:33:26.520 monitor set up
00:33:27.540 so that he
00:33:27.940 could read my
00:33:29.260 questions because
00:33:30.240 he still has
00:33:30.920 lingering auditory
00:33:32.060 processing issues
00:33:33.120 as a result of
00:33:34.200 the stroke,
00:33:34.800 which means he
00:33:36.140 has a hard time
00:33:37.000 understanding what
00:33:38.100 he's hearing.
00:33:38.800 Now once he reads
00:33:39.620 the question, he's
00:33:40.380 able to understand.
00:33:41.660 You'll hear he also
00:33:42.580 still has some
00:33:43.580 problems, some
00:33:44.720 challenges with
00:33:45.940 speech.
00:33:46.960 And I'll say,
00:33:47.920 Katie, that just in
00:33:48.820 some of the
00:33:49.200 small talk prior
00:33:50.420 to the interview
00:33:52.200 before the
00:33:52.840 closed captioning
00:33:53.700 was up and
00:33:54.580 running, it did
00:33:55.420 seem that he
00:33:56.740 had a hard time
00:33:58.240 understanding our
00:34:00.160 conversations.
00:34:01.100 So that again is
00:34:07.520 from MSNBC.
00:34:08.500 That is what they
00:34:09.120 are admitting
00:34:09.620 about John
00:34:10.400 Federer.
00:34:10.620 He doesn't
00:34:10.980 understand, he's
00:34:13.220 a hard time
00:34:13.900 tracking
00:34:14.220 conversations.
00:34:15.060 In order to
00:34:15.600 understand anything
00:34:16.220 he needs, he
00:34:17.580 needs closed
00:34:18.260 captioning.
00:34:18.940 He needs to
00:34:19.220 sit there with
00:34:19.720 a computer
00:34:21.100 program just to
00:34:21.860 understand.
00:34:23.280 And he's not
00:34:23.940 able to
00:34:24.260 communicate.
00:34:24.760 And under
00:34:27.800 most circumstances
00:34:29.040 someone who is
00:34:30.160 suffering this
00:34:31.080 way and going
00:34:31.520 through something
00:34:31.880 like this, it
00:34:33.140 would evoke
00:34:33.720 nothing but
00:34:34.100 sympathy and
00:34:34.580 pity.
00:34:36.220 There's nothing
00:34:36.800 people, especially
00:34:39.720 as they get older,
00:34:40.240 they have strokes,
00:34:40.880 this kind of thing
00:34:41.340 happens, terrible
00:34:42.080 thing.
00:34:42.720 Many of us have
00:34:43.200 seen this in our
00:34:43.620 own families.
00:34:45.680 It's just that
00:34:46.140 the problem is
00:34:47.540 that he's running
00:34:50.780 for political
00:34:51.140 office and has
00:34:51.760 chosen to keep
00:34:53.020 running for
00:34:53.380 political office.
00:34:54.760 And there's a
00:34:55.520 very good
00:34:55.920 chance, we
00:34:57.620 don't know
00:34:57.860 what's going
00:34:58.060 to happen
00:34:58.320 yet, but
00:34:58.620 there's a
00:34:58.980 very good
00:34:59.380 chance that
00:35:00.300 in Pennsylvania
00:35:00.780 they will
00:35:01.400 actually choose
00:35:02.480 to elect a
00:35:03.340 senator with
00:35:04.540 brain damage
00:35:05.360 who cannot
00:35:07.520 understand basic
00:35:10.760 human conversation.
00:35:12.360 And they're
00:35:12.960 going to put
00:35:13.320 him in
00:35:13.920 Congress.
00:35:16.880 So when that
00:35:17.640 happens, then
00:35:18.080 it becomes, then
00:35:18.700 it's something
00:35:19.180 that we do
00:35:19.960 have to obviously
00:35:20.920 be critical
00:35:21.960 about.
00:35:22.720 And it's
00:35:23.680 also, it
00:35:24.500 makes a lot
00:35:25.040 of the pity
00:35:25.500 and the
00:35:25.880 sympathy
00:35:26.220 evaporate
00:35:26.980 too, because
00:35:27.540 although John
00:35:28.960 Fetterman is
00:35:30.020 having trouble
00:35:31.260 communicating and
00:35:31.960 expressing himself,
00:35:33.620 he still, we
00:35:35.260 would assume,
00:35:36.280 has a grasp on
00:35:39.300 reality and
00:35:39.860 understand what's
00:35:40.340 going on around
00:35:40.780 him.
00:35:41.060 So he is
00:35:41.540 choosing to
00:35:42.260 remain in the
00:35:43.180 race, despite
00:35:45.040 knowing that he
00:35:45.860 is not competent
00:35:46.960 for it.
00:35:49.500 Knowing what his,
00:35:50.380 he knows what his
00:35:50.880 limitations are, he
00:35:51.700 obviously knows
00:35:52.200 them, and he
00:35:52.940 chooses to stay
00:35:53.820 in there, because
00:35:54.580 he's hungry for
00:35:55.140 power.
00:35:57.000 And who does it
00:35:57.740 remind you of?
00:35:58.260 It reminds you of
00:35:58.920 Joe Biden.
00:35:59.520 There's another
00:35:59.820 example.
00:36:00.320 In most cases,
00:36:00.900 someone who's
00:36:01.360 going through
00:36:01.840 senility, someone
00:36:03.580 who has dementia,
00:36:06.680 Alzheimer's, in
00:36:08.380 most cases, you
00:36:08.780 have nothing but
00:36:09.160 sympathy for that
00:36:09.600 person, obviously.
00:36:12.240 But here, Joe
00:36:13.140 Biden, and he
00:36:13.620 might be at a
00:36:13.980 point now where
00:36:14.360 he really has no
00:36:14.900 idea what's even
00:36:15.460 going on, but at
00:36:17.080 least originally, as
00:36:18.120 he was losing his
00:36:18.920 mental faculties, he
00:36:19.980 was aware of
00:36:20.500 that, and yet
00:36:21.580 ran for president
00:36:22.520 anyway, because he
00:36:25.460 cares more about
00:36:26.060 elevating himself and
00:36:26.960 his own power than
00:36:27.780 about the future of
00:36:29.340 the country.
00:36:30.080 So he's willing to
00:36:30.760 harm the country.
00:36:31.400 It harms the
00:36:31.840 country to have
00:36:32.820 someone who's lost
00:36:33.480 their mind in the
00:36:34.160 presidency, and he
00:36:34.660 was willing to do
00:36:35.380 that for his own
00:36:36.420 sake.
00:36:37.080 It also harms the
00:36:37.700 country to have
00:36:38.200 someone like John
00:36:39.220 Fetterman in the
00:36:40.100 Senate, and he's
00:36:43.120 willing to do that
00:36:43.800 because of his own
00:36:45.140 lust for power.
00:36:47.040 All right.
00:36:47.600 We've got to skip
00:36:50.620 ahead to this.
00:36:52.300 I haven't even read
00:36:52.940 this, but you know
00:36:54.300 it's BS.
00:36:55.520 Here's the USA Today
00:36:56.420 report.
00:36:58.140 Chick-fil-A has the
00:36:59.500 slowest drive-thru,
00:37:00.960 study says.
00:37:02.080 Another chicken
00:37:02.780 chain comes in
00:37:03.600 number one.
00:37:05.560 That's the claim.
00:37:07.780 It continues,
00:37:08.920 Chick-fil-A has the
00:37:09.720 slowest drive-thrus in
00:37:10.700 the country, a new
00:37:11.420 study that tracked the
00:37:12.140 10 major U.S.
00:37:12.960 fast food chains
00:37:13.520 revealed.
00:37:14.320 At Chick-fil-A, the
00:37:15.000 dreaded drive-thru wait
00:37:15.880 time is an average
00:37:17.580 of 8 minutes and
00:37:18.420 29 seconds, which
00:37:19.480 includes time spent
00:37:20.380 waiting in line and
00:37:21.060 then getting your
00:37:21.500 food, according to
00:37:22.000 a report by InTouch
00:37:23.080 Insight, an IT
00:37:23.980 customer service
00:37:24.720 company.
00:37:26.680 KFC, a Chick-fil-A
00:37:27.880 competitor, came in
00:37:28.740 the top spot with an
00:37:29.680 average of 5 minutes
00:37:30.460 and 2 seconds.
00:37:31.580 KFC?
00:37:32.980 What?
00:37:35.260 I ordered something
00:37:36.280 from KFC drive-thru
00:37:37.300 six years ago, and I'm
00:37:38.600 still waiting for it.
00:37:39.260 I still haven't gotten
00:37:39.920 it.
00:37:40.600 KFC has the worst
00:37:41.660 customer service of
00:37:42.620 perhaps any company
00:37:43.800 that has ever existed
00:37:45.260 on the planet.
00:37:46.500 KFC and Burger King
00:37:48.240 maybe are tied in
00:37:49.300 that regard.
00:37:50.880 Like, their employees
00:37:51.580 openly despise you for
00:37:53.340 being there.
00:37:53.940 They will go slower on
00:37:55.340 purpose.
00:37:56.360 On the rare occasion,
00:37:57.420 if you make the mistake
00:37:58.000 of going in, and no one
00:37:58.920 hardly ever does go to
00:37:59.860 these places, but if you
00:38:01.120 go into a Burger King or
00:38:02.120 a KFC, they will
00:38:03.060 actually, like, when
00:38:04.200 you're walking in, you
00:38:06.220 see the employees moving
00:38:07.020 around, and they're not
00:38:07.920 moving around very fast,
00:38:08.680 but they're moving around
00:38:09.260 faster than when you go up
00:38:10.520 and place the order.
00:38:11.400 Now they slow down on
00:38:12.520 purpose.
00:38:12.820 You order a bucket of
00:38:15.680 chicken, and you sit in
00:38:16.820 line for four and a half
00:38:17.920 hours, and when you get
00:38:18.520 to the window, the guy
00:38:20.500 opens it up, and he's
00:38:21.820 stoned out of his mind,
00:38:22.940 and he's out of uniform,
00:38:24.080 and somehow, though, he's
00:38:25.140 still mad, and then he
00:38:27.240 spits in your face and
00:38:28.520 hands you, like, an old
00:38:29.740 shoe with some ketchup on
00:38:31.100 it, and if you say,
00:38:32.720 well, that's not exactly
00:38:33.520 what I ordered, he'll just
00:38:34.960 roll his eyes, and there's
00:38:35.860 nothing you can do because
00:38:36.600 he's also the store
00:38:37.380 manager somehow.
00:38:38.080 Now, that is literally
00:38:40.340 the KFC experience.
00:38:42.020 Literally.
00:38:42.780 That exact thing has
00:38:44.280 happened to me.
00:38:45.940 So how can KFC have the
00:38:47.440 fastest drive-thru times?
00:38:49.480 Unless you mean it's
00:38:51.080 faster because there's
00:38:52.300 never anyone in the
00:38:53.380 drive-thru because KFC
00:38:55.420 sucks and everybody
00:38:56.120 knows it.
00:38:57.240 I bet that is what they
00:38:57.960 mean, so let's continue.
00:39:00.460 It says, but that doesn't
00:39:01.700 mean the chicken chain
00:39:02.360 sandwich, the chicken
00:39:03.580 sandwich chain, which is
00:39:04.680 closed on Sundays, is
00:39:05.640 completely slow or bad at
00:39:07.040 business, a caveat to the
00:39:08.760 study is that much of the
00:39:09.880 wait time is based on
00:39:10.960 popularity.
00:39:12.440 Right.
00:39:13.200 Chick-fil-A restaurants
00:39:14.020 average 4.74 cars in its
00:39:15.820 drive-thru, which is much
00:39:16.660 higher than the average of
00:39:17.520 2.76 cars among the 10
00:39:19.220 chains.
00:39:20.040 If the study were
00:39:20.580 considering quickest
00:39:21.300 average based on number
00:39:25.580 of cars, Chick-fil-A would
00:39:27.240 uniquely come in first with
00:39:29.120 an average of 1 minute and
00:39:30.240 47 seconds in that box.
00:39:32.140 Okay, well, there it is.
00:39:34.020 So the headline is
00:39:35.220 completely bogus.
00:39:37.040 I mean, how can you make
00:39:38.000 the headline Chick-fil-A is
00:39:39.560 the slowest and then when
00:39:41.120 you read the article, you
00:39:42.040 find out that no, actually
00:39:42.780 it's the fastest on
00:39:43.600 average.
00:39:45.860 Well, you do that because
00:39:46.760 you're the corporate media
00:39:47.700 and you lie about
00:39:48.640 everything.
00:39:49.080 This is how petty these
00:39:50.040 bastards are.
00:39:50.760 They just lie about
00:39:51.460 everything.
00:39:53.260 You had to lie about
00:39:54.300 this.
00:39:55.120 Even this you had to lie
00:39:56.320 about.
00:39:56.540 You couldn't just be
00:39:57.100 honest.
00:39:58.140 Chick-fil-A has the
00:39:58.960 fastest time on average.
00:40:00.180 That's the headline.
00:40:01.300 That's what that's all
00:40:01.980 that matters.
00:40:02.540 But in the corporate
00:40:06.540 media, they also see
00:40:07.100 everything as political.
00:40:08.100 So they have to find some
00:40:09.480 way to twist this into
00:40:10.660 anti-Chick-fil-A
00:40:11.760 propaganda.
00:40:12.860 They can't just report on
00:40:13.780 the stupid Chick-fil-A
00:40:14.520 story.
00:40:14.920 They can't just do that.
00:40:16.940 They have to find some way
00:40:18.140 to twist it because they see
00:40:19.480 Chick-fil-A as a political
00:40:20.360 enemy.
00:40:21.660 And they still see Chick-fil-A
00:40:23.140 as a political enemy, by the
00:40:24.100 way, even though the Chick-fil-A
00:40:25.460 CEO a couple of years ago, I
00:40:27.500 believe I had this right.
00:40:28.580 Wasn't he the guy who got on
00:40:30.440 his hands and knees on stage
00:40:32.400 and like washed the feet of
00:40:35.420 a black guy to expiate his
00:40:37.640 white guilt?
00:40:38.620 I'm pretty sure that that
00:40:39.560 happened.
00:40:41.040 And that happens, and yet
00:40:42.440 they still hate Chick-fil-A.
00:40:43.440 So that just shows you what
00:40:44.060 happens when you grovel to
00:40:44.760 the left.
00:40:45.960 So this is actually pretty
00:40:46.780 outrageous.
00:40:48.240 The study finds that Chick-fil-A
00:40:49.480 is the fastest, and the
00:40:50.600 headline says it's the
00:40:51.420 slowest.
00:40:52.500 All right.
00:40:55.060 But I did.
00:40:55.920 I think I pledged that I
00:40:56.660 would stop defending Chick-fil-A
00:40:57.760 ever since that groveling
00:40:59.200 display.
00:40:59.580 So I guess we just have to
00:41:01.100 move on.
00:41:02.080 Here's the comment section.
00:41:19.100 Yoha Pedro Voga says, I love
00:41:21.340 how Matt breaks every hope I
00:41:22.740 have left in humanity, and
00:41:24.120 then says, now let's get to
00:41:25.560 our five headlines.
00:41:26.580 That is generally the
00:41:27.540 pattern, I have to admit.
00:41:29.540 Timothy says, Matt makes
00:41:30.760 much stronger anti-pit bull
00:41:32.800 arguments than Knowles did
00:41:34.160 yesterday.
00:41:34.940 Well, I'm an anti-pit bull
00:41:37.080 guy from way back in the
00:41:38.420 day.
00:41:38.780 I've been in this movement
00:41:39.700 for a while, so maybe
00:41:41.700 that's part of the issue.
00:41:42.600 I don't know if maybe Knowles
00:41:43.680 is late to the struggle here.
00:41:48.580 Big Bad Briff says, I work
00:41:50.300 with dogs, and I agree with
00:41:51.700 Matt that they are a more
00:41:52.920 risky breed of dog.
00:41:53.880 I've met plenty of great
00:41:54.760 pitties over the years, and I
00:41:55.880 love those individual dogs.
00:41:56.980 I would hesitate to own one
00:41:57.900 because they have become so
00:41:58.820 overbred and so irresponsibly
00:42:00.780 bred, and that is more risky
00:42:03.080 to own a pit bull now.
00:42:04.400 That's because you can't know
00:42:05.460 what terrible traits have been
00:42:06.800 introduced into their bloodline.
00:42:08.000 Unless you go to a
00:42:08.540 responsible breeder, you can't
00:42:09.740 guarantee that the dog you're
00:42:10.600 getting is of good temperament.
00:42:12.360 It's a much different breed than
00:42:13.420 it was 50 years ago.
00:42:14.700 Pitties were not bred to be
00:42:16.040 aggressive to humans
00:42:16.840 originally.
00:42:17.440 It's sad because they can be
00:42:18.480 wonderful family dogs.
00:42:20.080 The breed has, in my opinion,
00:42:21.260 been irrevocably ruined,
00:42:22.760 though.
00:42:24.200 Yeah, it's unfortunate for
00:42:26.320 the pit bulls.
00:42:26.880 I agree.
00:42:29.020 And I also don't profess to
00:42:30.660 know all of the ins and outs
00:42:32.120 of the history of pit bulls.
00:42:34.900 Really, as you know, I'm a
00:42:36.760 basic common sense guy.
00:42:38.180 I'm a simple man in a lot of
00:42:39.120 ways.
00:42:40.000 And so I just look at the
00:42:41.880 information that's around me,
00:42:43.160 and I draw conclusions that I
00:42:44.920 think are pretty common sense
00:42:45.800 conclusions.
00:42:46.480 And so when I look around and I
00:42:48.060 see that almost every single
00:42:50.120 time someone is mauled to death,
00:42:51.180 it's a pit bull, and I look at
00:42:52.820 the statistics, it just tells me
00:42:54.400 everything I need to know.
00:42:56.140 And I am also interpreting this
00:42:58.160 information in the context of my
00:43:01.140 belief that human beings are of
00:43:06.120 infinite greater value than dogs.
00:43:11.820 And since I believe that, when I see
00:43:14.520 that there's one breed of dog that
00:43:15.900 poses a unique threat to humans, it's
00:43:18.160 easy for me to say, oh, well, we just
00:43:19.560 shouldn't own these dogs anymore.
00:43:21.180 And if anyone says, well, what about
00:43:22.200 the poor pit bulls?
00:43:22.920 I don't care.
00:43:24.420 I mean, I care more about the
00:43:25.640 people.
00:43:26.740 That's it.
00:43:29.580 So if we say you can't own pit
00:43:31.500 bulls anymore, this is one case
00:43:36.400 where it actually applies.
00:43:38.420 And sometimes this logic doesn't
00:43:40.000 work.
00:43:40.500 But when it comes to dogs and the
00:43:42.440 threat that they pose, in this case,
00:43:43.780 I could say that if saying you can't
00:43:47.240 own pit bulls anymore saves one more
00:43:49.800 kid from getting mauled to death, then I
00:43:51.560 think it was well worth it.
00:43:54.120 It's not even close in my mind.
00:43:59.040 Brad Benfield says, I love Matt, but
00:44:00.740 his argument against pit bulls is
00:44:01.720 completely based on ignorance and fear.
00:44:03.500 The irresponsible owners are the ones
00:44:04.840 with pit bulls that hurt others.
00:44:06.040 I have raised pit bulls for many years
00:44:07.480 and I've had almost 100 pit bulls.
00:44:10.460 100?
00:44:11.620 All shapes, colors, and sizes, and none
00:44:13.280 of my dogs ever bid anyone or any other
00:44:14.820 dog to the point of hurting them
00:44:16.160 permanently.
00:44:17.800 Well, that was quite a qualifier at the
00:44:20.260 end.
00:44:21.160 None of them have ever bit anyone to
00:44:24.140 the point of hurting them permanently.
00:44:28.100 So you've got two qualifiers.
00:44:29.940 None of them ever bid anyone to the
00:44:31.640 point of hurting them permanently.
00:44:37.100 How many of them have bit people,
00:44:38.580 though, is my question.
00:44:39.580 Of the 100, that's actually an
00:44:41.040 interesting case study.
00:44:41.860 So you are claiming that none of them
00:44:44.600 have ever permanently hurt somebody.
00:44:46.240 How many of them have hurt people,
00:44:47.700 though, of the 100?
00:44:49.140 I, you know, you tell me.
00:44:51.700 They are still strong and powerful
00:44:53.180 animals and like all animals, they have
00:44:54.560 animalistic instincts when provoked.
00:44:56.420 Irresponsible owners are the only reason
00:44:57.680 Matt is so scared of pit bulls.
00:45:01.200 Again, it's not that me, I don't walk
00:45:03.780 around in terror of pit bulls.
00:45:05.820 Now, if I had a rabid pit bull running
00:45:07.320 at me, I think I would be a little bit
00:45:09.360 disturbed by that.
00:45:10.100 But my fear is mostly for kids that
00:45:12.380 get mauled and, you know, elderly
00:45:13.640 people.
00:45:13.960 Those are most of the people that not
00:45:15.380 not only, but it's mostly people who
00:45:17.040 are especially vulnerable who end up
00:45:19.100 dying from these attacks.
00:45:21.520 So that's where my fear comes in.
00:45:23.980 And, you know, I already addressed this
00:45:25.620 irresponsible owner thing.
00:45:29.000 But just to reiterate,
00:45:30.420 I don't think it's true that all the pit bull
00:45:37.060 attacks can be explained by, quote, bad
00:45:39.420 owners.
00:45:40.540 I think it's just something that is said.
00:45:42.220 I don't know if there's a lot of evidence
00:45:43.160 for that.
00:45:44.380 You'd also have to explain what you mean by
00:45:45.920 bad owner, irresponsible owner.
00:45:47.380 But also, even if that is true, that doesn't
00:45:50.320 change anything as far as I'm concerned.
00:45:53.400 Because a lot of owners are going to be
00:45:54.700 irresponsible.
00:45:55.400 That's just the reality.
00:45:56.420 It's like the analogy I gave yesterday.
00:45:57.700 Rather than comparing pit bulls to guns
00:46:00.240 or inanimate objects, that comparison
00:46:01.700 doesn't work.
00:46:02.580 I think if you want to make analogies, the
00:46:04.200 analogy would be with other kinds of
00:46:05.660 animals.
00:46:06.780 And so there are many other kinds of
00:46:08.080 animals that you're not allowed to own.
00:46:10.000 You're especially not allowed to own in
00:46:11.820 communities and in neighborhoods because
00:46:16.380 of the danger that they pose.
00:46:18.080 Even though with many of those other
00:46:19.360 sorts of animals, if you're a very good
00:46:21.020 and responsible owner, you can probably
00:46:22.560 make those animals a lot less dangerous.
00:46:24.000 But the point is, I don't want to have to
00:46:25.560 trust that you are one of those
00:46:27.520 expert owners.
00:46:28.380 I shouldn't have to trust that.
00:46:30.280 If you're telling me you have to be an
00:46:31.620 expert and super responsible, or this
00:46:34.780 beast will eat someone's face, well, then
00:46:39.720 I'm going to say, well, then no one should
00:46:41.140 own that animal in a community because
00:46:43.360 it's just the reality that most people
00:46:45.520 are not going to be experts and
00:46:46.880 responsible.
00:46:49.500 All right.
00:46:50.520 K.
00:46:50.900 Rule C says, the trans dude in the
00:46:52.920 beginning looks a lot like that
00:46:54.020 troublesome trans dude that gave a
00:46:55.600 sonic worker a hard time in that viral
00:46:57.420 clip.
00:46:57.960 This is a very good catch.
00:46:58.740 I didn't notice this.
00:46:59.460 Now, so we played yesterday the
00:47:01.200 ABC Houston affiliate
00:47:02.900 news report about my speech at the
00:47:07.980 University of Houston, which is coming
00:47:08.940 up tomorrow.
00:47:09.700 And they're planning protests and Antifa
00:47:11.200 is going to show up.
00:47:11.880 And they interviewed some people on
00:47:14.100 campus who were upset about this.
00:47:15.260 They also interviewed a quote unquote
00:47:17.020 trans woman, which in other words,
00:47:19.480 a male who's complaining about this.
00:47:21.360 And I remember watching that clip
00:47:23.140 but I'm and I'm thinking like this
00:47:24.280 person looks familiar, but I don't
00:47:25.780 know from what.
00:47:26.940 And this is it.
00:47:27.600 So this is we'll play this clip
00:47:29.080 again just to remind you.
00:47:30.220 This is from
00:47:31.980 several months ago.
00:47:33.620 You have this person
00:47:35.500 who goes by Eden Torres,
00:47:37.160 I think now.
00:47:38.960 Going to Sonic
00:47:39.920 and just looking to pick a fight
00:47:42.540 with the Sonic manager
00:47:44.960 who's just trying to mind his own
00:47:46.120 business and do his job.
00:47:47.040 Let's watch this again.
00:47:50.020 Why does it matter?
00:47:51.660 Oh, it doesn't matter to you.
00:47:53.020 I'm sorry.
00:47:53.420 I mean, but to me, I'm a male.
00:47:58.260 Okay.
00:47:58.760 Okay.
00:47:59.460 So what are you?
00:48:00.660 So I can call you a sir or a man.
00:48:01.940 What are you?
00:48:02.940 What would you assume looking at me?
00:48:05.440 What are you?
00:48:06.400 What would you assume looking at me?
00:48:08.800 I assume that you're a man.
00:48:11.860 Okay.
00:48:15.260 Okay.
00:48:17.520 Thank you.
00:48:18.240 Whatever.
00:48:21.520 I love that clip.
00:48:22.880 Thank you for reminding me of that.
00:48:25.820 I love that clip
00:48:26.880 because it's just, you know,
00:48:28.760 what would you assume
00:48:29.760 based on looking at me?
00:48:31.000 And the guy's like,
00:48:31.660 you're a man?
00:48:32.560 That's what I would assume.
00:48:33.300 You asked me the question.
00:48:35.620 It's a great thing.
00:48:36.220 This Sonic manager
00:48:37.200 and this guy,
00:48:38.560 he's like,
00:48:39.060 he doesn't feel like dealing with this.
00:48:40.780 He's not even trying to stand on some,
00:48:42.480 he's not trying to make
00:48:42.940 some principled stand.
00:48:44.240 He's not interested in doing that.
00:48:45.320 He's just trying to get through the day.
00:48:47.360 And he deals with enough,
00:48:49.480 with enough a-holes
00:48:50.280 and scumbags like this.
00:48:53.540 So he even says,
00:48:54.540 I'll call you whatever you want me to call you,
00:48:55.780 but you got to tell me
00:48:56.300 what you want me to call you
00:48:56.940 because I don't know.
00:48:58.040 I don't know what you want.
00:48:59.940 But if you ask me,
00:49:00.980 what do you look like?
00:49:02.180 And then he flips the camera around
00:49:04.460 because we're supposed to see
00:49:05.740 what he looks like
00:49:06.560 and say,
00:49:07.540 well, how could you think
00:49:08.320 that that person's a man?
00:49:09.380 And it's like,
00:49:09.900 no, yeah,
00:49:10.220 that looks like a man
00:49:11.000 with a wig on.
00:49:11.400 That's what it looks like.
00:49:12.880 And you asked.
00:49:14.120 Don't ask if you don't want
00:49:14.920 the answer to the question.
00:49:17.380 It's one of the truths of life,
00:49:20.320 one of the rules of thumb
00:49:22.260 you should always carry with you
00:49:24.160 and keep in mind
00:49:24.760 is don't ask questions
00:49:26.420 you don't want an answer to.
00:49:29.500 Tried to get the sonic manager
00:49:31.200 fired over that
00:49:32.420 and I think unsuccessfully.
00:49:35.180 So that's the happy ending there.
00:49:36.580 Anyway,
00:49:37.220 that's the person
00:49:37.860 that is going to be involved
00:49:39.600 in protesting my speech.
00:49:42.380 And I would like to invite
00:49:44.520 Eden Torres
00:49:45.760 to the speech.
00:49:48.520 You know,
00:49:48.700 rather than standing outside
00:49:49.760 and protesting,
00:49:52.000 I want to invite you to come in,
00:49:53.520 sit down,
00:49:54.000 watch the film,
00:49:55.920 you know,
00:49:56.240 listen to the speech,
00:49:57.820 you can ask a question
00:49:58.520 in the Q&A.
00:50:00.080 Back in June of 2020,
00:50:01.400 Candace Owens
00:50:01.980 took to social media
00:50:02.820 to question the narrative
00:50:03.940 about George Floyd
00:50:04.900 and took a barrage
00:50:06.120 of insults as a result.
00:50:07.460 Celebrities insulted her,
00:50:08.560 GoFundMe deplatformed her.
00:50:10.260 As the attacks ramped up,
00:50:11.440 Daily Wire Plus
00:50:11.980 gave her a platform
00:50:12.760 to speak out
00:50:13.580 without fear of being silenced
00:50:15.040 and supported her investigation
00:50:16.680 into Black Lives Matter.
00:50:18.340 That organization
00:50:18.920 raised $80 million
00:50:20.080 through fundraising,
00:50:21.820 but no one ever asked
00:50:23.440 where the money went
00:50:24.200 until now.
00:50:25.560 Tonight,
00:50:25.920 Candace Owens
00:50:26.400 will reveal the truth
00:50:27.240 in her new documentary,
00:50:28.620 The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,
00:50:30.300 exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:50:32.320 Because of our members,
00:50:33.160 we're able to create
00:50:33.780 a thriving alternative platform
00:50:35.440 and pursue the truth
00:50:36.340 wherever it leads.
00:50:37.720 Daily Wire Plus members
00:50:38.660 defeated the vaccine mandates
00:50:40.380 in the Supreme Court.
00:50:41.420 Daily Wire Plus members
00:50:42.100 helped us uncover
00:50:43.060 the Loudoun County
00:50:44.220 sexual assault cover-up.
00:50:45.960 Daily Wire Plus members
00:50:46.740 empowered me
00:50:48.680 to expose Vanderbilt's practice
00:50:50.200 of mutilating children
00:50:51.220 in the name of
00:50:51.780 gender-affirming care.
00:50:53.200 And just over the weekend,
00:50:53.960 Daily Wire Plus members
00:50:54.700 caused PayPal
00:50:55.500 to backtrack
00:50:56.360 on its Orwellian fines
00:50:58.000 for misinformation.
00:50:59.680 So there's a lot going on.
00:51:00.880 We're doing a lot.
00:51:01.640 You're doing a lot.
00:51:02.180 Together, we're doing a lot.
00:51:03.040 Remember, we are speaking for you
00:51:04.820 and fighting for your values, too.
00:51:07.200 Free speech is our greatest weapon.
00:51:08.560 And with the left's iron grip
00:51:09.820 on the culture
00:51:10.400 and the mainstream media,
00:51:11.940 somebody has to step up
00:51:13.160 and fill the void.
00:51:13.860 So if you're not yet a member,
00:51:14.860 go to dailywire.com
00:51:16.440 slash Walsh
00:51:17.280 to subscribe

00:51:21.160 you don't want to miss it,
00:51:21.880 8 p.m. Eastern,
00:51:22.680 7 p.m. Central,
00:51:23.700 you're going to be able
00:51:24.120 to watch Candace Owens'
00:51:25.340 new documentary,
00:51:26.600 The Greatest Lie Ever Sold,
00:51:28.260 exclusively on Daily Wire Plus.
00:51:30.820 Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.
00:51:37.820 So today is the rare
00:51:39.120 but not unprecedented occasion
00:51:40.700 where a comment
00:51:41.780 interests
00:51:43.340 slash maybe annoys me enough
00:51:44.960 to migrate
00:51:45.940 from the comment section
00:51:47.160 into the Daily Cancellation.
00:51:48.780 A few days ago
00:51:49.240 during this segment,
00:51:49.820 we discussed the overall
00:51:50.800 failure of Christian leaders
00:51:52.280 in this country
00:51:52.780 to make any serious inroads
00:51:54.120 into the culture
00:51:54.760 and their nearly perfect record
00:51:56.520 of losing every major cultural fight
00:51:58.280 for the past many decades.
00:51:59.540 As we discussed,
00:52:00.420 some leaders prefer
00:52:01.540 to stand off at a distance
00:52:02.680 sort of sneering
00:52:03.960 at those of us
00:52:04.600 in the trenches
00:52:05.040 and telling us
00:52:05.620 how we might do a better
00:52:06.660 and holier job
00:52:07.980 of fighting the battles
00:52:08.800 that they refuse to fight
00:52:09.920 or have already surrendered.
00:52:11.340 So really,
00:52:11.820 the whole cancellation segment
00:52:12.780 was just my pale imitation
00:52:14.660 of Teddy Roosevelt's
00:52:15.820 man-in-the-arena speech,
00:52:17.220 I suppose.
00:52:19.060 You can go and listen to that
00:52:20.580 or read that
00:52:21.200 and it's much better,
00:52:23.160 much more eloquently put.
00:52:24.920 The segment generated
00:52:26.860 a lot of feedback,
00:52:27.600 some of it agreeing
00:52:28.140 with my commentary,
00:52:28.880 some of it critical,
00:52:29.420 and that's all fine.
00:52:32.340 This comment, however,
00:52:33.220 falls right in line
00:52:33.960 with the sort of thing
00:52:34.680 we hear from Christians
00:52:35.640 and Christian leaders frequently.
00:52:37.800 It is a sermon
00:52:38.860 about the need
00:52:40.180 to love our enemies.
00:52:41.740 We've talked about this
00:52:42.420 a little bit on the show
00:52:43.180 kind of glancingly
00:52:44.060 and I want to get into it
00:52:45.040 in more detail now.
00:52:47.160 But the sermon is always,
00:52:48.800 when we hear about it,
00:52:49.500 well, you need to love your enemies.
00:52:50.500 You're not loving enough.
00:52:51.200 It's incomplete
00:52:53.260 and lacking the necessary context.
00:52:56.060 But I'll read the comment
00:52:56.840 because it kind of sets us up
00:52:57.760 for this conversation,
00:52:58.500 I think, very nicely.
00:53:00.200 So here's the comment
00:53:00.800 from Casey Stewart.
00:53:02.120 It says,
00:53:02.780 Walsh's critique of Cooper
00:53:03.800 and others like him
00:53:04.500 is well taken,
00:53:05.060 at least in large part.
00:53:05.880 But where Cooper goes wrong
00:53:06.860 is in saying the problem
00:53:07.760 with Walsh
00:53:08.160 is that he is political.
00:53:09.060 That's not it.
00:53:09.840 The problem with Walsh
00:53:10.540 is that he does not
00:53:11.720 love his enemies.
00:53:12.780 He literally admits
00:53:13.660 to hating them
00:53:14.360 and that taints
00:53:15.420 his entire project.
00:53:16.520 It also makes things
00:53:17.360 more difficult
00:53:17.820 for those of us
00:53:18.340 who are really
00:53:18.780 in the trenches.
00:53:19.820 I'm an elder
00:53:20.320 in a Bible church
00:53:21.020 in the Portland area
00:53:21.800 taking a solid pastoral
00:53:23.220 stand for Christ
00:53:23.800 on these and other issues.
00:53:25.220 I, too, appreciate
00:53:25.860 the work Walsh
00:53:26.360 and the DW are doing
00:53:27.040 and I am not calling
00:53:27.780 for them to stop
00:53:28.500 or to try to add
00:53:29.280 Christian theology
00:53:29.980 to their public efforts.
00:53:30.920 In fact,
00:53:31.500 it would be better
00:53:32.040 if they would talk
00:53:32.580 about God less.
00:53:34.260 Then it might be easier
00:53:35.080 for people to hear me
00:53:35.900 when I say
00:53:36.500 I totally agree
00:53:37.200 with Walsh about this
00:53:38.060 but from an entirely
00:53:38.700 different angle.
00:53:39.800 That is true,
00:53:40.280 of course,
00:53:40.460 but it's hard
00:53:40.800 for people to see
00:53:41.420 because Walsh's
00:53:42.100 quasi-attachment
00:53:43.740 of his religion
00:53:44.580 to his political work,
00:53:45.560 which he does do,
00:53:46.300 implies that he and Jesus
00:53:47.880 are on the same page
00:53:49.060 on this
00:53:49.560 and they aren't.
00:53:51.000 My message
00:53:51.520 to sexually confused
00:53:52.600 or gender-confused people
00:53:53.860 is I would die for you
00:53:56.200 but I cannot lie for you.
00:53:58.320 That's not the message
00:53:59.000 of Matt Walsh
00:53:59.680 or the Daily Wire.
00:54:00.400 Admittedly,
00:54:00.840 if it were,
00:54:01.360 they would not have
00:54:01.880 the massive cultural footprint
00:54:02.980 that they do.
00:54:03.600 I get that
00:54:04.060 but it is not
00:54:05.320 a cowardly shrinking
00:54:06.380 from the issues
00:54:07.540 to choose to follow Jesus
00:54:08.940 in the real trenches
00:54:10.020 of pastoral work
00:54:10.940 rather than to use
00:54:12.060 a media kingdom
00:54:12.960 to launch culture war salvos.
00:54:14.840 If or when
00:54:15.920 Walsh goes to jail
00:54:16.760 over this,
00:54:17.220 it'll be a media circus.
00:54:18.340 When I do,
00:54:18.840 probably not if.
00:54:19.860 It won't have any
00:54:20.520 of the flashy media stuff
00:54:21.720 about it
00:54:22.100 but God willing,
00:54:23.100 it will be truly honoring
00:54:25.100 to my Lord Jesus.
00:54:28.680 Okay.
00:54:29.280 First of all,
00:54:30.040 you're probably correct
00:54:31.920 that if I ever go to jail,
00:54:33.400 it'll be a media circus
00:54:34.400 at least in conservative media.
00:54:37.740 Probably the liberal media
00:54:38.620 would ignore it
00:54:39.260 and I would hope
00:54:40.260 at least on the Daily Wire.
00:54:41.400 Like I hope it would make it,
00:54:42.680 if me going to federal prison
00:54:43.640 would make it above
00:54:44.360 the fold in Daily Wire,
00:54:45.380 I could probably trust that
00:54:46.180 at least.
00:54:47.260 So you're right about that
00:54:48.340 and that does give me
00:54:50.480 a certain advantage,
00:54:51.400 a certain visibility
00:54:52.080 that people who are,
00:54:53.160 as you say,
00:54:53.640 in the trenches
00:54:54.060 and don't have the platform
00:54:55.640 don't have
00:54:56.080 and I acknowledge that
00:54:56.660 all the time.
00:54:57.280 You know,
00:54:57.460 it's a lot harder
00:54:58.620 when you don't have,
00:54:59.080 I have advantages
00:54:59.940 with this kind of visibility
00:55:00.980 and leverage
00:55:02.280 and I try to use the leverage
00:55:03.080 not just for my own benefit
00:55:04.080 but for the benefit
00:55:06.680 of these issues
00:55:08.460 that we're fighting on.
00:55:10.220 But it's also true
00:55:11.140 that if anyone ever makes
00:55:12.640 good on their threat
00:55:13.760 to kill me,
00:55:15.020 that might be a media circus too
00:55:16.400 but that's not going to do me
00:55:17.100 a lot of good
00:55:17.540 because I'm going to be
00:55:18.260 just as dead.
00:55:19.840 But in any case,
00:55:21.860 you're throwing around
00:55:22.480 words like love
00:55:23.580 and hate
00:55:24.080 in the way that Christians
00:55:25.180 in our culture
00:55:25.740 often throw them around.
00:55:27.840 Use them without explaining
00:55:29.080 what you mean by them
00:55:29.960 and you use them,
00:55:32.500 at least you've used them here
00:55:34.140 it seems to me,
00:55:35.600 as a means to elevate
00:55:36.660 yourself above others.
00:55:37.780 So you say,
00:55:38.280 you don't love your enemies
00:55:38.980 like Jesus that I do,
00:55:40.200 I would die for my enemies.
00:55:41.780 That's what you declare.
00:55:43.640 Is that what loving
00:55:44.500 your enemies means though?
00:55:46.060 That you have to die for them?
00:55:47.700 Because if it does,
00:55:48.500 nobody walking this earth
00:55:49.400 can actually say for sure
00:55:50.600 that they love their enemies
00:55:51.420 because you simply cannot know
00:55:52.740 that you would really die for them
00:55:54.140 unless put in that position.
00:55:56.160 Which you almost certainly
00:55:57.220 never will be
00:55:58.200 and that makes your statement
00:55:59.660 seem like empty
00:56:00.700 self-aggrandizement.
00:56:03.220 As for me,
00:56:03.980 I'm happy to admit
00:56:04.960 that in many conceivable scenarios,
00:56:06.980 I would not die
00:56:08.340 for my enemies.
00:56:09.020 I mean,
00:56:09.320 I would not,
00:56:10.000 for example,
00:56:11.480 let's just say,
00:56:12.240 throw myself in front
00:56:13.120 of a bullet
00:56:13.740 or a speeding train
00:56:15.240 to save someone
00:56:16.580 who advocates
00:56:17.200 or perpetrates
00:56:17.840 the castration
00:56:18.460 and mutilation of children.
00:56:19.800 That doesn't mean
00:56:20.240 that I wish death on them.
00:56:21.240 I don't.
00:56:21.640 It doesn't mean
00:56:22.200 that I'd be the one
00:56:22.760 firing the bullet.
00:56:23.620 I, of course, wouldn't.
00:56:24.660 It simply means
00:56:25.280 that I would not leave
00:56:26.160 my own kids fatherless
00:56:27.660 in order to martyr myself
00:56:28.820 for someone who harms children.
00:56:30.320 Indeed,
00:56:30.580 I would be sacrificing my life
00:56:31.940 in order to leave
00:56:32.640 my own children
00:56:33.360 more vulnerable
00:56:34.300 to the predations
00:56:35.420 of the very person
00:56:36.120 I have saved.
00:56:36.760 Now,
00:56:38.340 you might call that brave.
00:56:39.600 I would call it reckless
00:56:40.420 and irresponsible.
00:56:41.920 It's also not a requirement
00:56:43.540 of loving our enemies,
00:56:44.660 nor does failing
00:56:45.860 to martyr yourself
00:56:46.860 for someone
00:56:47.300 mean that you hate them.
00:56:49.320 There may be some,
00:56:50.600 you know,
00:56:50.860 there could be some scenarios
00:56:51.860 where I would put myself
00:56:52.780 in harm's way
00:56:53.240 for those I consider an enemy.
00:56:54.380 I'm not saying
00:56:54.760 that that wouldn't happen ever.
00:56:56.100 It's possible
00:56:56.720 that you could dream up
00:56:57.380 something like that.
00:56:58.300 All of this is a useless
00:56:59.340 game of hypothetical,
00:57:00.400 however,
00:57:00.580 which is what
00:57:01.460 the love your enemies
00:57:02.700 stuff often turns into.
00:57:04.400 It just turns into hypothetical.
00:57:05.560 It doesn't really mean anything.
00:57:06.440 No one explains
00:57:06.900 what they mean by that.
00:57:08.680 What about hatred?
00:57:10.760 Well,
00:57:11.080 I have never advocated
00:57:12.160 hating your enemies
00:57:13.040 as a principle.
00:57:14.180 I have admitted
00:57:14.680 that I struggle
00:57:15.320 not to hate those
00:57:16.360 who inflict unimaginable
00:57:17.660 cruelties on children,
00:57:19.120 but my struggle
00:57:20.320 in that regard
00:57:20.960 stems from the love
00:57:22.240 I have for the victims.
00:57:24.960 I would suggest
00:57:25.920 that if you cannot relate
00:57:27.180 at all to that difficulty,
00:57:28.400 then it's because
00:57:29.320 you do not love
00:57:30.140 the victims enough.
00:57:32.580 And yet,
00:57:32.880 I'm at fault in this too
00:57:33.800 because in this confusion,
00:57:35.180 I'm also at fault
00:57:35.800 because when I say
00:57:36.700 struggle not to hate,
00:57:37.860 I don't really mean hate.
00:57:39.200 I mean something more like
00:57:40.260 struggle not to be
00:57:41.240 totally overcome
00:57:42.360 and blind with rage.
00:57:45.020 That's more what I mean.
00:57:46.820 That temptation may be
00:57:48.200 a problem in its own right.
00:57:49.400 It is,
00:57:49.840 but it's not the same thing
00:57:51.220 as hatred.
00:57:52.160 So here's the part
00:57:52.740 where we should probably
00:57:53.340 get around to
00:57:53.880 defining our terms.
00:57:55.300 In the immortal words
00:57:56.520 of whoever wrote
00:57:57.720 that 90s song,
00:57:58.840 what is love?
00:57:59.700 And that person argued
00:58:00.660 that love simply means
00:58:01.820 that, baby,
00:58:03.160 you don't hurt me.
00:58:04.420 Yet, that is a negative
00:58:05.420 vision of love.
00:58:07.040 Aquinas had a positive vision.
00:58:08.180 He said that love
00:58:08.720 is to will the good
00:58:09.480 of the other.
00:58:10.680 It means that you want
00:58:11.500 what is best for someone
00:58:12.500 and you will actively work
00:58:14.020 to help them accomplish
00:58:15.200 that.
00:58:16.380 What is good?
00:58:16.880 What is best for them?
00:58:18.160 So what is hatred then?
00:58:19.020 Well, to hate someone
00:58:19.680 as follows is to will
00:58:20.700 the bad for them.
00:58:22.640 Does that mean
00:58:23.360 that you hate someone
00:58:24.200 if you want them
00:58:24.760 to be punished?
00:58:25.460 If you want them
00:58:26.020 to reap the consequences
00:58:27.160 of their actions?
00:58:28.400 If you want them
00:58:29.180 to suffer for what
00:58:30.080 they've done?
00:58:30.700 If you use harsh language
00:58:31.840 about them?
00:58:32.360 If you make them
00:58:33.000 feel bad?
00:58:33.560 No, that's not necessarily
00:58:34.680 hatred at all
00:58:35.220 because suffering
00:58:36.000 and punishment
00:58:37.680 are not bad
00:58:39.320 when they are deserved.
00:58:41.740 They're actually good
00:58:42.860 in that case.
00:58:43.900 They are good for society
00:58:45.140 and they are good
00:58:45.780 for the person suffering.
00:58:46.640 A desire for evil
00:58:49.500 to be punished
00:58:50.520 is born out of an impulse
00:58:52.900 towards justice
00:58:53.860 not hatred.
00:58:55.700 That's the crucial fact
00:58:56.740 that many Christian churches
00:58:57.640 get wrong
00:58:58.160 or at least don't spend
00:58:59.400 enough time explaining.
00:59:01.100 There is nothing wrong
00:59:02.260 with wanting justice.
00:59:04.060 In fact,
00:59:04.480 there is something very wrong
00:59:05.680 with not wanting it enough.
00:59:08.420 I think that's the real flaw
00:59:09.500 in many Christians today.
00:59:12.040 An encounter with injustice
00:59:13.500 should provoke within you
00:59:14.900 a deep desire
00:59:16.060 for the injustice
00:59:17.020 to be righted,
00:59:18.120 for it to be corrected,
00:59:19.800 which means correcting
00:59:20.960 those who inflict it.
00:59:22.760 Now,
00:59:22.900 I know it sounds scandalous
00:59:23.760 to the modern Christian ear
00:59:24.860 to hear me say
00:59:25.500 that we as Christians
00:59:26.280 can even desire
00:59:27.180 suffering for others,
00:59:28.200 but there is no justice
00:59:29.360 without suffering.
00:59:30.840 If you want a killer
00:59:31.620 to go to prison,
00:59:32.760 you want him to suffer
00:59:34.180 because prison is suffering.
00:59:35.640 That's what it is.
00:59:36.340 That's part of the point of it.
00:59:37.940 Of course you want that
00:59:38.680 for his own sake
00:59:39.540 and for society's sake,
00:59:41.280 for justice.
00:59:42.940 I mean,
00:59:43.100 even something like
00:59:43.580 putting your child
00:59:44.320 in timeout
00:59:44.920 for hitting his sister
00:59:45.660 is inflicting suffering.
00:59:47.440 It's a very, very,
00:59:48.260 very small amount of it
00:59:49.460 for a very, very small infraction,
00:59:51.540 but he will suffer
00:59:52.600 in a very small degree
00:59:53.460 because if he's not phased
00:59:54.640 at all by the punishment,
00:59:55.580 then there's no point in it.
00:59:57.540 Indeed,
00:59:57.960 you can actively kill somebody
00:59:59.580 without hating them.
01:00:01.580 Somebody comes into your house
01:00:02.520 in the middle of the night,
01:00:03.500 comes into my house
01:00:04.440 in the middle of the night,
01:00:04.760 I'm going to blow his brains
01:00:05.760 out of his head
01:00:06.240 and it will be an act of love,
01:00:07.900 love for my family,
01:00:08.900 love for my children.
01:00:09.780 As for the dead man,
01:00:10.660 he got what was due to him.
01:00:11.900 He reaped the consequences
01:00:12.840 of his actions.
01:00:13.600 He got justice,
01:00:14.420 whether he liked it or not,
01:00:15.380 and we can assume
01:00:16.040 that he did not.
01:00:17.660 So if you can cause
01:00:18.580 someone to suffer,
01:00:19.300 if you can punish them,
01:00:20.180 if you can even kill them
01:00:21.080 in some cases
01:00:21.660 without hating them,
01:00:22.480 then what does hatred mean?
01:00:23.680 Hatred must be a desire
01:00:25.220 for a person's ultimate ill.
01:00:29.180 It is to prefer
01:00:30.200 that they be damned
01:00:31.280 than redeemed.
01:00:32.060 It is to wish
01:00:32.760 that they remain evil
01:00:34.100 so that they can be
01:00:35.580 condemned for it.
01:00:37.620 It is to want them
01:00:38.800 to remain in sin.
01:00:41.840 I don't know what hatred is
01:00:42.940 if it's not that.
01:00:44.960 And there's a lot of that
01:00:45.840 kind of hatred
01:00:46.220 in this culture.
01:00:46.780 There's a lot of
01:00:47.320 wanting people
01:00:48.120 to remain in sin,
01:00:49.140 encouraging it even.
01:00:52.020 Now I know this is a word,
01:00:52.980 hatred,
01:00:53.200 that gets used
01:00:53.840 by Christians very often
01:00:54.760 to condemn those
01:00:56.140 who are too harsh,
01:00:57.220 too militant,
01:00:57.880 too aggressive.
01:00:58.360 But again,
01:01:00.280 they never explain
01:01:00.820 what they mean.
01:01:02.140 Here I am attempting
01:01:02.900 an explanation.
01:01:04.520 And I cannot see
01:01:05.220 that hatred means
01:01:06.040 anything but
01:01:06.740 desiring a person's
01:01:09.020 ultimate,
01:01:09.620 final,
01:01:10.480 spiritual destruction.
01:01:12.620 If that's what it means,
01:01:13.680 then I can say for certain
01:01:14.520 that I do not hate anyone
01:01:15.860 because I want
01:01:17.260 every one of my enemies
01:01:18.480 to see the error
01:01:19.380 in their ways
01:01:20.000 and repent.
01:01:20.460 I want them all
01:01:21.040 to this very day.
01:01:22.000 I want them this moment
01:01:22.960 to have a change of heart
01:01:23.860 and abandon their ways.
01:01:25.600 I want every single person
01:01:26.720 who harms children,
01:01:27.800 who abuses and mutilates them,
01:01:29.760 to see themselves
01:01:30.660 for the monsters
01:01:31.300 they've become
01:01:31.840 and turn away from it.
01:01:32.660 That's what I want
01:01:33.280 very much.
01:01:33.880 So yes,
01:01:34.240 I love my enemies.
01:01:35.540 I don't want them
01:01:36.320 to be my enemies.
01:01:37.120 I want them to stop
01:01:38.160 inflicting evil
01:01:38.960 on the world
01:01:39.540 and on the innocent.
01:01:40.540 But as long as
01:01:41.360 they're doing such things,
01:01:43.500 I believe we are called
01:01:44.800 as Christians
01:01:45.260 to oppose them
01:01:46.160 relentlessly,
01:01:47.580 aggressively,
01:01:49.280 even angrily
01:01:50.280 at times.
01:01:51.620 We should react
01:01:52.400 to them
01:01:52.760 and their deeds
01:01:53.420 in a way
01:01:53.860 that is fitting
01:01:54.580 and proportional.
01:01:55.920 We should act
01:01:56.780 with urgency.
01:01:58.960 We should respond
01:02:00.140 to heinous evil
01:02:01.120 and barbarism
01:02:01.900 in a manner
01:02:02.580 that communicates
01:02:03.960 just how heinous
01:02:05.320 and barbaric it is.
01:02:07.400 This is where Christians
01:02:08.440 are largely failing,
01:02:09.440 I think.
01:02:10.640 We don't have much
01:02:11.120 of a problem
01:02:11.640 of Christians
01:02:12.960 hating evildoers
01:02:14.020 too much
01:02:14.640 or at all.
01:02:16.160 The real problem
01:02:16.980 in our culture
01:02:17.520 and what has put us
01:02:18.360 in the hole
01:02:18.720 that we're in
01:02:19.160 is that too many Christians
01:02:20.780 fail to love virtue
01:02:22.240 and goodness enough
01:02:23.200 and hate evil enough.
01:02:27.540 They're not passionate
01:02:28.580 enough about protecting
01:02:30.080 the innocent.
01:02:32.520 Indifference,
01:02:33.140 apathy,
01:02:33.600 moral cowardice,
01:02:34.580 these are our most
01:02:35.700 prominent flaws,
01:02:36.680 I would say.
01:02:38.260 These are the poisons
01:02:39.180 in the bloodstream
01:02:39.860 of the church
01:02:40.220 in the West.
01:02:42.400 That's how I see it.
01:02:44.640 And because I have
01:02:45.500 to cancel something
01:02:46.140 in order to make
01:02:46.640 this whole rant
01:02:47.420 fit into the segment
01:02:48.200 that I've chosen it for,
01:02:48.940 I suppose,
01:02:51.100 they are the things
01:02:52.380 that I'm canceling today.
01:02:54.220 And that'll do it
01:02:54.680 for this segment
01:02:55.140 of the show
01:02:55.520 as we move over
01:02:56.260 to the members' block.
