The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1052 - Nudist Hippie Breaks Into Pelosi's Home. Media Blames Republicans.

00:00:00.120 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a hippie nudist with a hammer assaulted Nancy Pelosi's husband

00:00:04.500 inside their home in the middle of the night. But the most important thing the media wants us

00:00:07.960 to know about this story is that it's all the fault of Republicans, and also that we're not

00:00:12.020 allowed to ask any more questions about it. Also, Elon Musk officially takes the helm at Twitter

00:00:15.900 and immediately starts instituting a number of important changes. And Barack Obama takes

00:00:20.400 the campaign trail to save the Democrats from the coming red wave. An NBA star shuts down a

00:00:24.920 reporter in satisfying fashion. And another Starbucks employee has an emotional meltdown

00:00:29.160 on camera. Is this a problem only at Starbucks, or is it a society-wide issue? We'll talk about

00:00:34.000 all of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:45.140 Roe v. Wade has been overturned, and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the

00:00:50.120 grassroots. No group in America is better positioned than 40 Days for Life with about 1 million

00:00:54.160 volunteers in 1,000 cities. 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside abortion facilities.

00:00:59.160 They have a larger presence in blue states, with California being their largest state. Some

00:01:03.300 former abortion facility directors say that these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate

00:01:07.220 to go as high as 75%, which is detrimental to their abortion business. These law-abiding vigils

00:01:13.080 have closed many abortion businesses in America, and nearly half of those closed abortion facilities

00:01:17.280 were in liberal cities where abortion will remain legal, including closures in San Francisco,

00:01:23.000 Chicago, Chicago, and Seattle. 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the

00:01:27.920 grassroots to end abortion. You can check out their latest podcast and free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.

00:01:34.280 And remember that the fight for life is not over just because Roe v. Wade is over. In fact,

00:01:38.820 in many ways, the fight for life has never been more important than it is right now. So for more

00:01:46.500 Well, it began as a strange story. It only got stranger as time went on. On Friday morning,

00:01:52.420 we first heard reports about an alleged break-in at the Pelosi home in San Francisco. We were told

00:01:58.000 that a man, who we later learned is 42-year-old David DePaype, broke into Nancy Pelosi's home with

00:02:04.360 a hammer and screamed, where's Nancy? And a struggle then ensued between Pelosi's husband,

00:02:10.140 Paul, and the intruder. Nancy Pelosi was not actually at home. She was in D.C.

00:02:13.420 Paul was injured in the attack before police arrived and took the attacker into custody.

00:02:19.080 Now, shortly after these earliest reports, we began hearing bizarre and sketchy details. I mean,

00:02:24.780 even more bizarre than the original story. More questions emerged. Was one man or both wearing

00:02:31.700 underwear at the time, as some reports seem to suggest? How did Paul Pelosi manage to call the

00:02:37.300 police? Did Paul Pelosi indicate to police that he knew his attacker? How did David DePaype

00:02:43.420 get into the residence? Do they not have security? What about security cameras, at least? If so,

00:02:48.720 where's the footage? Many of these questions still remain unanswered or have been answered in a way

00:02:54.020 that only raises still more questions. At least, that is, if you're a skeptical person interested in

00:02:59.820 the basic truth. That does not describe the corporate media, of course, which is why they settled

00:03:04.240 on the official narrative within minutes. The guy who broke into Pelosi's home is a right-wing

00:03:10.780 militant and a QAnon supporter, they announced. And anyone who asks any more questions is a conspiracy

00:03:17.200 theorist just as dangerous as David DePaype himself. That's what the media ran with. And

00:03:23.200 Democrats up to the highest levels were right there with them. Over the weekend, every left-wing cable

00:03:28.240 news anchor and pundit, dozens of high-profile Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, AOC, and

00:03:33.720 President Joe Biden, declared that dangerous rhetoric from conservatives had driven and provoked the

00:03:40.100 Pelosi attack. They said it's our fault. They solemnly insisted that all of the political violence is

00:03:45.860 committed by the right and that we in conservative media are especially to blame. Not much was known

00:03:52.060 about who the man with the hammer was or what he was doing in Nancy Pelosi's home or why he was

00:03:59.220 tussling, possibly in his underwear with Nancy's husband. But all they knew or wanted us to know

00:04:05.300 is that it's the fault of Republicans. And that's why Americans should, you know, vote for them in two

00:04:11.120 weeks. Vote for us, they said, or there'll be many more 2 a.m. hammer assaults by naked weirdos. 0.94

00:04:16.700 You could be next. You could be the next victim. Now, far be it from me to disobey the 0.98

00:04:23.300 instructions given to us by our overlords, but I have to make a few points here. The first is this.

00:04:32.180 I don't know what happened in Nancy Pelosi's house on Friday morning. I don't think I'll ever know

00:04:37.460 for sure. I don't know if any of us will ever know for sure. But if the media is upset about the

00:04:42.280 theories that are circulating on the internet, one of them being that this was a gay lover's quarrel

00:04:46.960 between Paul and David, that's a theory that's just out there that people are talking about.

00:04:50.740 If the media is upset about that, perhaps they could look within themselves to figure out why

00:04:56.560 alternative theories gain so much traction in situations like this. And I know they're not

00:05:02.160 capable of honest introspection, so I'll spell it out for them. Nobody trusts you guys. Nobody

00:05:08.700 believes anything you say. It's certainly possible that the actual facts of this case roughly follow

00:05:15.180 what's being reported by mainstream outlets. I don't know that they don't. Maybe they do.

00:05:19.380 But what I do know is that there's no reason to assume or have faith that you would be honest

00:05:27.260 about the facts if they didn't fit your narrative. See, that's the problem. If we're getting the facts

00:05:32.260 from you, if we're getting the actual facts from you, it's only because they happen to be the sorts

00:05:37.060 of facts that you want them to be. But what if they aren't? What if they aren't the facts you want

00:05:40.880 them to be? Often they aren't. And then you lie or you cover up the truth or you use misdirection,

00:05:47.580 obfuscation, whatever else. The point is that the proliferation of conspiracy theories is your fault.

00:05:55.920 You did this. You have positioned yourselves as the arbiters of information. Well, what happens when

00:06:02.740 the public realizes that it can't trust the arbiters? They turn elsewhere or they speculate

00:06:08.920 on their own. They come up with theories. I mean, what else are they going to do? Just assume that

00:06:14.980 you're telling the truth? They can't. They've seen you lie far too often. They know you. Trust in the

00:06:21.320 media is broken and it cannot be mended, especially because the party that broke the trust, that's you,

00:06:26.960 isn't even trying to mend it. Now, as for me, I find it perfectly plausible that a drug-addled nutcase

00:06:36.200 broke into Pelosi's home in the middle of the night. I mean, this is San Francisco after all.

00:06:40.580 Is the violent crime problem in that city so bad now that even the folks in the wealthy parts of

00:06:45.620 town aren't safe from it? Sure, I'd believe that. In fact, I would assume that's the case.

00:06:51.600 What I can't believe is that the drug-addled crazy guy who apparently lives in a bus

00:06:56.560 outside of a hippie commune in Berkeley with rainbow flags and BLM slogans draped outside of it 0.60

00:07:02.320 is somehow a right-wing militant influenced by Fox News to go assault Democratic politicians.

00:07:09.540 That's what I don't believe. To me, if the basic facts of the case, as presented by police,

00:07:15.940 are essentially correct, then this is a local San Francisco crime story about yet another homeless,

00:07:22.040 drug-crazed freak lashing out violently. What's ludicrous beyond all imagining is the attempt to

00:07:29.800 turn this San Francisco crime story into an indictment of Republicans. Trying to blame Republicans for

00:07:37.800 crime in Berkeley is like, well, there's nothing to compare it to. It is a logical leap that exceeds

00:07:43.600 analogy. The real story here, again, if the facts roughly line up with the official narrative,

00:07:49.460 the real story is that high-ranking Democratic politicians are now falling victim to the violent

00:07:54.860 crime epidemic that their policies have facilitated and encouraged. That's the story.

00:08:01.260 As for actual political violence, I'm old enough to remember ancient history back many moons ago,

00:08:06.900 like in the summer when an armed left-wing radical showed up to Justice Kavanaugh's house,

00:08:11.720 planning to assassinate him and two other conservative justices. I can remember when

00:08:16.900 Rand Paul's neighbor assaulted him and broke three ribs, or six ribs, I think. I can remember when a

00:08:22.420 Bernie bro shot up a GOP baseball practice. I can remember just the past month, which has seen

00:08:28.120 multiple Republican canvassers and activists assaulted and hit by cars in politically driven

00:08:32.860 attacks. And this is all to say nothing of the mass political violence that set entire city blocks on

00:08:38.780 fire during the BLM riots. It also says nothing of the violence from left-wing terror organizations like

00:08:44.460 Antifa. It says nothing about the threats of violence that I encounter nearly every day of my

00:08:50.060 life for saying things that leftists don't like. It's clear to any honest person who is actually

00:08:59.420 committing the political violence and who is actually encouraging it. In fact, in many of these

00:09:05.180 cases, the left actively cheered the violence. Nancy Pelosi's daughter was one of the Democrats

00:09:10.500 tickled pink over Rand Paul getting hospitalized. I bet she's not laughing now. Or maybe she is.

00:09:18.200 I mean, leftists tend to hate their own families, so who knows? And of course, you know, this I must

00:09:22.680 remind you again is it's not a double standard. The left ignores violence against conservatives

00:09:28.780 or actively roots for it because they believe Republicans deserve to be hurt or killed. I mean, 0.99

00:09:35.960 that's it. And they decry violence against Democrats because they believe that Democrats are the good

00:09:40.980 guys and don't deserve to be hurt or killed. It is as simple and depraved and evil as that. 0.51

00:09:51.000 And that's also why we can't take these people seriously or believe anything they say.

00:09:56.680 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:10:05.540 Well, despite what the left may tell you, being fat is not healthy. This is a very radical and very

00:10:11.040 dangerous misperception of reality. That said, living a healthy lifestyle is not easy. It's hard to get up

00:10:16.660 and go for a run every morning. It's hard to make sure that you're getting the proper nourishment,

00:10:20.420 especially when you're running to work, to practice, to cello lessons. If whatever reason

00:10:28.640 you go to those, to wherever else you need to be, being healthy is a discipline. It's a discipline

00:10:33.080 that starts with balance of nature. Balance of nature, fruits and veggies are the best way to

00:10:38.340 consume essential nutritional ingredients every single day. Their products are 100% whole food.

00:10:43.860 Balance of nature uses a cold vacuum process that preserves the natural phytonutrients in whole

00:10:49.360 fruits and vegetables and encapsulates them for easy consumption on your way to cello practice.

00:10:55.380 When you're disciplined enough to take care of your health, you reap all kinds of benefits,

00:10:59.620 more energy, less fatigue, better focus. You play the cello better. Consuming the right balance of

00:11:04.980 fruits and vegetables every day is an important first step. So go to balanceofnature.com and use

00:11:22.280 holiday spirit with my pumpkin colored shirt, which is what they told me in the wardrobe department

00:11:27.160 when they made me put this shirt on. Lots of other people here at the office are really getting into

00:11:32.460 it though. Very elaborate costumes that I've seen. The whole wardrobe and makeup department is dressed

00:11:37.060 up like characters from Hocus Pocus, apparently. McKenna and Austin work on our show dressed up as a,

00:11:43.060 there's a Scooby-Doo theme going on. I saw somebody dressed as a hot dog, I think.

00:11:47.840 So there are a bunch of other costumes too. And I got to tell you, I mean, I know this doesn't

00:11:51.540 surprise you. I just don't, I don't get it. Okay. I mean, what's the point? I think I'm missing some

00:11:56.840 kind of gene that makes the costume thing make sense to me. Either that or the rest of you people

00:12:02.480 are missing something and I'm the only normal one, which increasingly I believe is the case.

00:12:07.840 But when people say, well, are you going to dress up for Halloween this year? What are you

00:12:10.780 dressing up for? My first response is to say, do I look like I'm eight years old? No. I mean,

00:12:16.320 I've got the beard. And also why? I mean, what's the point? If you could explain to me,

00:12:22.700 what's the point of the costume as an adult? What am I supposed to do? Okay. So I put the costume on

00:12:28.640 and then what? What do I do now? Am I supposed to wear this costume all day? Why? And especially

00:12:36.640 with adults, it's like once everyone has seen the costume, then you continuing to wear it seems like

00:12:43.640 overkill because you get the reaction from everyone comes in and they come to the office and they see

00:12:47.940 the, Oh, look, you came to the office dressed like a watermelon. Isn't that funny? And you got your

00:12:54.120 little laugh now, but are you actually going to sit around all day as a watermelon? Are you going to go

00:12:59.800 to meetings as a watermelon? You need to go on lunch break as a watermelon? Don't try to come

00:13:07.340 talk to me and have some serious work conversations as a watermelon. Are you going to try to negotiate a

00:13:13.280 pay raise as a watermelon? You're going to have like a Skype meeting with a client as a watermelon.

00:13:17.440 It just, I don't, where do you go from here is my point. If I could be convinced on the costume thing,

00:13:23.720 it's like five minutes. If I'm in charge of a company, it's wear the costume for five minutes

00:13:30.960 and then take it off. But even the five minutes is a waste. No, we're wasting time on the clock.

00:13:36.920 So actually we're not going to do that at all. I would go back maybe to my Twitter strategy, which is

00:13:41.260 invite employees to wear costumes on Halloween and then fire anyone who's wearing one.

00:13:47.400 That would be a great Halloween. All right. Here's the latest from the Elon Musk, speaking of Twitter,

00:13:55.400 the Elon Musk Twitter takeover. This is from Reuters. It says Elon Musk has denied a New York

00:14:00.600 Times report about laying off Twitter employees at a date earlier than November 1st to avoid stock

00:14:05.820 grants due on the day. In response to a Twitter user asking about the layoffs, Musk tweeted, this is false.

00:14:12.300 The New York Times reported on Saturday that Musk has ordered job cuts across the company with some

00:14:17.940 teams to be trimmed more than others and that layoffs would take place before November 1st when

00:14:23.300 employees were scheduled to receive stock grants as part of their compensation. Citing unidentified

00:14:27.500 people familiar with the matter, the Times reported the cuts could begin as soon as Saturday. According to

00:14:32.240 media reports on Saturday, Musk fired top executives in an effort to avoid hefty severance payouts while

00:14:38.200 lining up other layoffs as soon as, um, as soon as Saturday. Okay. So now Elon says this isn't true

00:14:46.920 that he's not firing people to avoid giving them the severance payouts, but it's funny to see the left

00:14:54.980 up in arms about this as they are because now suddenly golden parachutes are a good thing. If the story is true,

00:15:02.040 this is Elon trying to deny wealthy corporate executives, their golden parachutes. And we're

00:15:08.460 now supposed to see that as a bad thing. For years, the golden parachute, the dreaded golden parachute

00:15:14.400 was one of the things that everyone would decry, especially on the left. And now we're supposed to

00:15:19.580 feel bad for wealthy corporate executives if they don't get one. It is a joke because as we said at the

00:15:28.060 top, nothing they, these people say means anything or should be believed. Meanwhile, the media meltdown

00:15:32.560 has continued, uh, many examples that we could cite and play for you, but we'll pick just a couple.

00:15:36.920 Here's, here's just one. This is Amy Klobuchar on MSNBC, um, talking about the, the crisis that we now

00:15:45.820 face because Elon Musk is in charge of Twitter. Watch. We have to do something about this amplification

00:15:52.660 of, um, of this election denying hate speech that we see on the internet. Now that Elon Musk runs

00:15:59.420 Twitter, do you trust him? Uh, no, I do not. What, uh, what's your biggest fear of him running this,

00:16:08.420 um, running this social media platform?

00:16:12.800 Well, I think you have to have some content moderation because when you look at what this

00:16:18.380 guy was looking at, he was looking at, uh, just horrendous things you don't even want to talk

00:16:24.560 about on your show. He was posting anti-Semitic tropes. He was showing memes, um, that showed

00:16:32.060 violence and all of this election denying, uh, pro Trump mega crowd rhetoric. That's what we're

00:16:39.040 dealing with here. And if Elon Musk has said now that he's going to start a content moderation board,

00:16:45.540 that was one good sign, but I continue to be concerned about that. I just don't think

00:16:50.940 people should be making money off of passing on this stuff. That's a bunch of lies. You couldn't

00:16:56.200 do that on your network, Chuck. You guys look at commercials and you decide if they are false or

00:17:03.740 not. That is not a requirement of these companies. And we have to change the requirements on these

00:17:09.960 companies. They are making money off of us. They are making money off of this violence.

00:17:14.980 There's no doubt. The tech companies are a huge, huge problem in this and they got to take

00:17:20.260 some responsibility. Senator Klobuchar, a Democrat from Minnesota. Thank you for coming on and sharing

00:17:25.040 your perspective. I gotta say, Amy Klobuchar doesn't get enough credit as the comedic genius 0.99

00:17:29.800 that she is because that whole thing was, that was very, very funny. Uh, and, and the, the punchline

00:17:34.720 at the very end really got me where she said, uh, you know, people can't make money from spreading

00:17:38.120 lies. You would never do that on your network, NBC. Um, and I, and I did find it funny when,

00:17:44.560 when she was listing this guy and she was talking about, of course, David, the pap, the, uh, the,

00:17:48.520 the, uh, uh, uh, uh, homeless drug addled guy from Berkeley nudist lives at a hippie commune.

00:17:54.400 Who's a right-wing radical apparently, and said that he was doing all these, he was showing means,

00:18:00.140 she says. Now, the interesting thing about that, by the way, is that I, we, we keep hearing about

00:18:06.680 this guy, uh, and all of the right-wing propaganda that he was disseminating and engaging in. I haven't

00:18:13.560 seen very many examples of it. We're just being told that it existed and that, and that, you know,

00:18:18.800 it's just take their word for it. It's out there. He showed a lot of memes, Amy Klobuchar says,

00:18:23.040 a lot of right-wing memes. Um, even though he was a hippie, nudist, homeless, drug addled

00:18:29.900 guy in a bus outside of a hippie commune, but you know, it's, it's, it was, but also big Fox

00:18:34.660 news viewer, big Tucker Carlson fan. You know, if I had a dime for every Tucker Carlson fan who lives

00:18:44.000 in a bus outside of a hippie commune in Berkeley, I'd have one dime apparently. Um, this is what

00:18:54.180 they're worried about is that now there's not going to be any content moderation, which by the way,

00:18:59.900 Elon Musk has not said that he hasn't said that there's not going to be any, in fact,

00:19:04.740 he said the opposite. He said he doesn't want the site to turn into a, into a quote unquote free

00:19:08.740 for all, which I agree with, by the way, you know, you do want, there needs to be some content

00:19:14.160 moderation. Um, there, in fact, in, in some areas, Twitter could do with a lot more of it right now.

00:19:22.100 When it comes to pornographic things being shared, um, actual threats of violence, like I mentioned,

00:19:31.160 I, I get threats of violence, targeting me, doxing all this. It happens to me all the time

00:19:36.160 and it happens to conservatives all the time. That's the kind of thing that should be moderated.

00:19:41.840 So, yeah, I would like to see, in fact, in some areas, much more moderation than there already is.

00:19:50.340 Uh, graphic, sexual content, pornographic content, um, you know, child pornography on these platforms

00:19:57.120 is a big problem. And then again, actual threats of violence. Yeah. You shouldn't be able to do that

00:20:03.100 on a social media platform to say, I'm going to go kill you, encourage other people to go kill this 0.70

00:20:08.120 person, put their address in, you shouldn't be allowed to do that. It happens all the time on 0.99

00:20:11.140 Twitter, but if you're a conservative and you're being targeted for it, then good luck getting the

00:20:16.060 content taken down. Trust me. I know from experience. What we don't need to moderate though,

00:20:22.480 are people's opinions. And it's really not that hard to differentiate between pornography,

00:20:29.820 child pornography, actual threats of violence, doxing. Okay. So there's all those things that are in

00:20:37.640 one category. And then there are just people's opinions about things. And we act as though

00:20:44.000 these two categories are impossible to distinguish between, but they're really not.

00:20:51.680 I think we all intuitively know the difference between say pornographic, graphic, pornographic

00:20:56.080 content, violent content, and just a guy's opinion. Meanwhile, Mehdi Hassan on MSNBC says that in fact,

00:21:04.960 as outraged as the left is about Elon Musk taking over Twitter, he says they're not outraged enough.

00:21:12.320 Listen. Julian, I have to ask, could the Biden administration, could Democrats in Congress

00:21:17.120 have said or done anything to prevent or even slow down this Musk purchase of Twitter? I feel like if

00:21:23.300 George Soros had been buying Twitter, the right would have made far more noise and express more

00:21:27.700 outrage. Dems just let it happen as if it's fine for Twitter to become yet another platform for

00:21:33.140 misinformation and hate. Well, there may have been, but I mean, at this point, I think it's going to be

00:21:40.240 the responsibility of each and every one of us to do what we can to hold Elon Musk accountable.

00:21:46.800 I agree with those who said that it's telling that he did end up backing off and deleted that tweet a

00:21:54.040 few hours after he had put it up. Now, I agree with everybody. Look, I think he's acted very

00:21:58.600 irresponsibly, immaturely. Frankly, Mehdi, I don't know how in the world this guy got to be the richest

00:22:03.060 person in the world acting as irresponsibly and immaturely as he had and erratically as we've

00:22:09.820 seen him act, not just this week, but over the years. But it means that he will back off when there

00:22:18.120 is pressure. And so folks who care about the truth, who care about protecting vulnerable communities,

00:22:24.480 who ultimately are the ones who are going to be most hurt by his irresponsible behavior and allowing

00:22:29.240 these voices of hate to be elevated on this huge platform, we have to keep pushing back.

00:22:36.480 And my hope is that that is going to make a difference in the long run.

00:22:43.820 Yeah, Democrats are not upset enough. That's the big problem. And imagine, Mehdi Hassan says,

00:22:48.220 imagine if a big tech company was owned by a left winger. Just imagine that. Imagine how upset

00:22:54.920 people on the right would be. I can't. It's unimaginable. Nothing like it has happened.

00:23:00.580 There has never been a big tech company owned by somebody on the left. It's never happened.

00:23:06.720 Hassan says he wishes that this could have been prevented.

00:23:10.240 So remember all those years of the left saying that Twitter is a private company.

00:23:15.000 You know, they can have any rule they want. They can enforce the rules how they want or not enforce

00:23:20.180 them. Don't like it. Go build your own platform. And now, you know, of course, their respect for the

00:23:27.240 rights of private companies has gone out the window as expected. Notice something else, though,

00:23:33.040 because this is very revealing. Notice what the left is not concerned about. They're not concerned

00:23:40.340 that they are going to be banned from Twitter now or that they're going to be targeted

00:23:45.180 the way that Twitter has targeted the right. They're not worried about that because they know

00:23:51.060 that's not going to happen. They know that nobody on the right even wants that. I don't want that.

00:23:57.400 Actually, I would not want. I mean, if it happens, it happens. But I don't want Twitter to drive,

00:24:02.800 you know, leftists off the platform and ban them because then Twitter becomes an echo chamber.

00:24:10.600 What's the fun of that? In fact, now that we can, you know, speak basic truths on Twitter,

00:24:18.540 especially basic biological truths, I want the left to be there. I want them to be there and I want

00:24:23.420 them to be exposed to it. It makes it much more valuable then because they're the ones who need

00:24:30.580 to be exposed to this stuff. And it's also a lot more fun. So no, on the right, we want them there.

00:24:37.100 Please stay. Now, if you leave, we're not going to cry about it, but make your own choices. But if

00:24:42.720 it were up to me, sure, I'd want you all here. So what the left is upset about is not that they're

00:24:49.380 worried that this is going to be a time of vengeance and they're going to be targeted. No,

00:24:53.580 it's just that they're worried that the right will no longer be targeted. That's what they're

00:24:58.260 concerned about. You know, I said, you know, we could, of course, respond to the left as they

00:25:04.680 have to us that go build your own platform if you don't like it. And in fact, they have the post

00:25:09.200 post-millennial has this story. There's a new woke social media platform out there. And I know

00:25:16.300 that's a little bit redundant because they're all woke, but maybe with the exception of Twitter now

00:25:20.280 remains to be seen. But there's one out there called Tribal and post-millennial has this story.

00:25:24.780 On Thursday, woke social network Tribal announced that it was preemptively banning Donald Trump,

00:25:30.520 his son, Elon Musk, and Kanye West from its platform. The move comes as its creator, Omar

00:25:36.180 Rivero, who also runs Occupy Democrats, continues to foment fears over Elon Musk's takeover of Twitter.

00:25:42.380 Occupy Democrats broke the news Thursday morning, suggesting that Tribal had made the decision to

00:25:46.700 ban Trump, his son, and Kanye West based on allegations of spreading dangerous conspiracy theories

00:25:50.760 and fake news. It says Trump was banned after former President Obama advocated for the ban in

00:25:55.640 the wake of the Capitol riot on January 6th. West was banned for anti-Semitism. Within the Occupy

00:26:01.420 Democrats fan base, the bans were celebrated. However, outside the leftist echo chamber,

00:26:05.380 many were quick to point out the hypocrisy of a site that bills itself as pro-democracy,

00:26:10.180 preemptively barring those they disagree with politically from having accounts. Well,

00:26:13.640 that's not really the point, though, is that the point is that none of these guys that are being

00:26:17.040 preemptively banned from Tribal, whatever that is, have heard of this platform or would want to join

00:26:22.340 it anyway. So this is a bit like the kid who sits alone at the lunch table eating his own boogers,

00:26:27.640 deciding to throw a birthday party for himself and preemptively banning all the popular kids from

00:26:32.200 coming. You know, it's like it's like him walking up to the popular kids table in the cafeteria and

00:26:37.500 saying, hey, all of you, you can't come to my party. Who was that? I don't know. I think it was

00:26:42.500 the kid that eats his own boogers. Okay. I just find that very funny. And by the way,

00:26:48.700 speaking of the cool kids, I also wanted to mention this as we look at the changes that Elon

00:26:55.440 Musk is going to be making to Twitter. There's this from The Verge, and this is another thing

00:26:59.540 the left's upset about. It says, now that he owns Twitter, Elon Musk has given employees their first

00:27:03.900 ultimatum. Meet his deadline to introduce paid verification on Twitter or pack up and leave.

00:27:09.260 The directive is to change Twitter Blue, which is the company's optional $5 a month subscription

00:27:14.800 that unlocks additional features into a more expansive subscription that also verifies users.

00:27:20.540 According to people familiar with the matter, Twitter is currently planning to charge $19.99

00:27:24.960 a month for the new Twitter Blue subscription. So the basic idea is that if you want to get the

00:27:34.140 blue check on Twitter, this is what supposedly Elon Musk is planning. If you want to get the blue

00:27:38.660 check on Twitter or if you want to keep the one you already have, then you got to pay $20 a month

00:27:42.840 for it, which I think is a great plan. Actually, I say this as somebody who has a blue check. I don't

00:27:47.080 see myself paying $20 a month for it unless there are some great additional, there are some perks

00:27:51.980 you could offer that I would pay $20 a month for. Like if you give me the ability to just

00:27:59.180 unilaterally ban someone if I don't like them, then I'd pay $20 a month for that. I'd pay $50 a month

00:28:03.840 for that. But just for the check, I won't pay it. But I think it's a good idea because

00:28:09.220 the idea about the original, the reason they call it a verified, it's a verification badge

00:28:14.460 on these social media sites and they all have them. The idea of the verification badge is simply

00:28:19.240 to verify that the person who runs the account is a real person and not a bot. That's really,

00:28:25.860 that's what it is. It's turned into this kind of like a elitist club. You know, it's turned

00:28:33.640 into the cool, it's supposed to be the popular kids table in the lunchroom. That's what it's

00:28:36.400 turned into. And they end up giving the verification badge to these small, irrelevant accounts,

00:28:43.400 people that are supposedly in media and have like a thousand followers and they get the

00:28:47.600 verification badge because they get to go to the front of the line and they get accepted

00:28:51.020 into the cool kids club. That's not what it's supposed to be. It's supposed to just be

00:28:54.360 that you can verify that you are a real person. And, you know, part of the verification process

00:29:02.160 is you give them an ID or whatever, you prove that you're a real person and now you're a verified

00:29:05.720 account. If that's important to you, charge them. This is like, this is a tax that he's imposing

00:29:14.040 on the blue check club on Twitter. And again, as a member of that club, I actually think it's a

00:29:19.140 great idea. There are not many taxes that I agree with, but this one I would, because that's

00:29:22.420 optional. I would just say, yeah, I don't, I don't need it. No, thanks. I don't need the blue

00:29:27.300 check, but the blue check is very important to left wingers on Twitter. It's very important to

00:29:31.980 them. And so they will, they'll complain about it, but they will pay the 20 bucks for it.

00:29:38.300 All right. Democrats are panicking as we head to the midterms. So now they are trotting out their

00:29:45.720 secret weapon, which is the president of the United States, not the current one. They don't,

00:29:49.860 he's not, they don't want him on the campaign trail. This is rather Obama and the most recent

00:29:56.820 democratic president before Biden. And he had these thoughts to share on the campaign trail this

00:30:02.060 weekend. Listen, but these days, just about every Republican politician seems obsessed with two

00:30:10.020 things. Owning the libs. Oh man, we're going to own the libs. And getting Donald Trump's approval.

00:30:18.980 That seems to be their agenda. They are not at, they're not currently at least,

00:30:25.980 they are not interested in actually solving problems. They are interested in making you angry

00:30:33.020 and then finding somebody to blame because that way they're going to, they're hoping you may not

00:30:42.020 notice, you may be distracted from the fact that they don't really have any answers to your problems.

00:30:49.760 I don't know. I think this backfires for the, uh, for the, for the Democrats to have Obama out on the

00:30:54.440 campaign trail. Now I've never, I've always thought that he was overrated as a public speaker,

00:30:58.280 but he can at least string sentences together, which is more than the current president United

00:31:03.360 States can do. So I think this only, this only, uh, highlights that contrast and it makes people

00:31:09.000 say, Oh, this is what it's like to have a president United States who can at least speak.

00:31:13.880 Um, everything he's saying there is nonsense. Of course now I'm not a politician.

00:31:17.560 Okay. I'm not a Republican politician. So I'm not specifically who he was talking about, but I will say

00:31:21.760 that at least for me personally, I am not obsessed with owning the libs and getting Trump's approval.

00:31:29.580 I am just obsessed with owning the libs. That's the only thing I'm obsessed with.

00:31:34.500 Um, and to be honest with you, I wish that more Republicans were obsessed with it.

00:31:39.440 I think we'd be in a much better spot if there were more Republicans obsessed with owning the libs. 0.79

00:31:43.560 Now there are more noble motivations that one could have, but that's better than nothing.

00:31:53.860 You know, I'll take a Republican who's simply out to own the libs over one who is, uh, who's more

00:32:00.720 concerned about appeasing the left and taking the path of least resistance and just sort of coasting

00:32:06.060 along and not getting into any trouble, which is what most, which is how you describe most Republicans,

00:32:10.900 especially on the national stage. I'll take, I'll take the former option over that.

00:32:18.040 Now I want to play this clip for you too. Kyrie Irving is the NBA star with the Nets. He's been

00:32:22.600 getting himself in trouble with the media for social media posts that he's been putting up last year.

00:32:28.660 You know, he wouldn't get vaccinated and they were on his case for that. Now he's posting stuff they

00:32:33.580 don't like. A few weeks ago, he posted something about the new world order quoting Alex Jones.

00:32:39.020 And then more recently, he tweeted something about a film called Hebrews to Negroes. That's what the

00:32:44.540 film was called. Um, a film that the media says is antisemitic, which maybe it is. I know absolutely

00:32:50.640 nothing at all about this movie. I have no clue. Never heard of it before. Um, I've done zero seconds

00:32:56.280 of research on it because I don't really care about a film that I've never heard of that a basketball

00:33:01.100 player was talking about. It doesn't seem like it matters, but it led to this exchange between Kyrie

00:33:07.160 Irving and a reporter that I thought was interesting to watch. Kyrie, while we're on the topic of

00:33:13.000 promotion, why did you decide to promote something that Alex Jones said? That was a few weeks ago.

00:33:22.180 I do not stand with Alex Jones position narrative court case that he had with Sandy Hook or any of

00:33:30.160 the kids that felt like they had to relive trauma or parents that had to relive trauma or to be

00:33:36.500 dismissive to all the lives that were lost during that tragic event. My, my post was a post from Alex

00:33:43.640 Jones that he did in the early nineties or late nineties about secret societies in America of occults.

00:33:48.540 And it's true. So I wasn't identifying with anything of being a campaign, a campaignist for Alex Jones or

00:33:56.760 anything. I was just there to post. And it's funny. And it's actually hilarious because out of all the

00:34:02.160 things I posted that day, that was the moment post that everyone chose to, chose to see. It just goes

00:34:07.140 back to the way our world is and works. I'm not here to complain about it. I just exist.

00:34:11.420 And to follow up on the promotion of the movie and the book, can you please stop calling it a

00:34:18.580 promotion? What am I promoting? Put it out on your platform, but I'm promoting it. Do you see me

00:34:24.720 doing, do you see me in front of it out there? People are going to say that you are put it out

00:34:28.620 there. Just like you put things out there, right? Yeah, but I, okay. It's not things out there for

00:34:32.700 a living, right? Right. But my stuff is not filled with anti-Semitic. Let's move on. Don't

00:34:38.140 dehumanize me up here. I'm not, I'm not doing that. You're free to post. I can post whatever

00:34:42.260 I want. So say that and shut it down and move on to the next question. But Kyrie, you have to

00:34:46.340 understand that by posting. I don't have to understand anything from you. It's not me.

00:34:49.780 Nothing. By posting what you did. No people that you're making up, bro. Move on. But by posting what

00:34:53.420 you did. Move on. Next question. Next question. Do you guys have any more questions from me? And they're

00:34:56.400 going to say. You guys have any more questions? Because this is going to be a clip. This is going to be a

00:35:00.220 clip that he's going to marvel at. Is this any more questions? But you're not answering the question.

00:35:04.520 This is another answering your question. Oh my God. Let's make another Instagram clip so we

00:35:07.940 could be famous again. Next question. I'm with Kyrie Irving on this one for two reasons. Well,

00:35:15.740 three. I generally am on board with anyone who treats the left-wing sports media with contempt

00:35:20.480 and disregard and just talks over them and refuses to answer the questions. I'm on board with that.

00:35:26.440 I love that. I think that's what they deserve. Also, Kyrie is right that just because you mention

00:35:31.860 something or quote someone, that doesn't mean that you're promoting. Okay. It doesn't mean you're

00:35:36.600 promoting something. You could be. Maybe he was promoting the film. I don't even know what the

00:35:40.500 tweet was or the Instagram post. I don't know. I don't care. But he's not promoting Alex Jones

00:35:46.080 by quoting him. And third, the bigger point here, which really harkens back to the first,

00:35:52.680 is screw these hacks. How many tense exchanges has the media had with LeBron James for spreading

00:35:59.760 pro-BLM misinformation? You know, for putting the picture of a cop out there who, in the Micaiah 0.87

00:36:05.200 Bryant case, who's saved a woman's life and put his picture out there and say, you're next?

00:36:11.040 How many tense exchanges have there been over that? So it's all disingenuous. There's a double

00:36:16.460 standard as always. And that's all we need to know about this. That perfectly, absolutely justifies

00:36:26.040 Kyrie Irving's approach in this case. No matter how you feel about whatever he posted. And like I

00:36:33.420 said, it doesn't even matter. It doesn't matter to me what he posted. It doesn't make a difference.

00:36:39.940 All right. Finally, before we get to the comment section, this is from page six. It says,

00:36:46.060 it looks like the Clooneys have either a budding artist or politician in the family, or perhaps both.

00:36:51.620 Appearing alongside Michelle Obama and Melinda French-Gates at a panel in New York City

00:36:55.900 on Tuesday, the human rights lawyer revealed just how much her five-year-old twins, Ella and

00:37:00.740 Alexander, inspire her work. The 44-year-old admitted that while her kids, whom she shares

00:37:05.760 with husband George Clooney, 61, aren't quite on top of current events, her son often takes notes

00:37:10.760 of what she's up to at work. In fact, he didn't hesitate giving his two cents on the current

00:37:16.760 situation surrounding Russian President Vladimir Putin. She said, my son drew a picture the other day

00:37:22.320 of a prison. And he was like, Putin should be here. So her five-year-old son is drawing pictures

00:37:30.040 of Putin in prison. My five-year-old son has never drawn a picture of Putin because he has no idea who

00:37:39.440 Putin is, because I'm not a lunatic. And I don't talk to my five-year-old about geopolitical events.

00:37:48.340 So oftentimes when celebrities and leftists post things like this, the assumption is that they're

00:37:56.300 making it up. And this is all, like, they're inventing these things that their kids said or

00:38:00.920 these political insights that their kids offered. And I think oftentimes it is made up. I think

00:38:05.580 oftentimes it is invented, sure. But I'm also perfectly willing to believe that these nutcases

00:38:13.300 are actually talking to their toddlers and to their four- and five-year-olds about the war in

00:38:19.580 Ukraine. And yeah, if you sit a five-year-old down and tell them all about somebody named Putin and

00:38:24.500 tell them that he's a bad guy and a villain and he wants to nuke the entire world, and if you tell a

00:38:28.640 five-year-old that, that'll sink in for sure. And it wouldn't surprise me to start drawing pictures

00:38:33.100 of the bad guy Putin and talking about Putin all the time. Absolutely. I mean, five-year-olds are

00:38:39.400 very impressionable and they latch on to things. And if you tell them something like that, they'll

00:38:44.980 latch on to it. But so what that tells me is if you're not a liar, which again is a possibility,

00:38:51.700 you're just a bad parent for, for foisting these concerns onto your five-year-old. 0.78

00:39:00.860 What the hell is he going to do with it? What do you want him to do about Putin? I mean,

00:39:05.620 what do you want any of us to do about Putin? But what do you want your five-year-old to do about it?

00:39:09.400 A good, a good approach here if you, you know, if you're a good parent

00:39:13.580 is that you tell, it's not that you never share troubling information with your young children,

00:39:21.580 it's that you only share with them the troubling information that is relevant to their lives

00:39:27.500 and that they can respond to in some way. So it's a troubling fact that if you run into the road

00:39:35.720 chasing a bouncy ball, you might get hit by a car and killed. That's a troubling fact.

00:39:42.280 But it's also a fact that's relevant to your child's life. And so that's something you need to

00:39:46.840 tell a five-year-old. You know, so there are, there are dangers and concerns you need to tell

00:39:53.300 your kids about. But only the ones that they can respond to, the ones that, the information that

00:39:59.000 will be useful and will make them safer in their, in their everyday life. As, as they get older,

00:40:05.780 you know, it's once you become older that you're going to start to encounter all of the misery and

00:40:13.180 you become aware of the misery and despair and all the terrible things that are just out there in the

00:40:17.860 world. And you got to carry that knowledge around with you every day, knowing that you can't do

00:40:23.240 anything about most of it. You know, that's not easy even for adults to deal with. But a five-year-old

00:40:31.220 shouldn't have to. Again, if you're interested in actually being a good parent. Let's get now to

00:40:37.200 the comment section. Well, as you know, I've recently updated my style. It was a controversial

00:40:52.340 decision, but I also think the right move. I have a new set. I wear blazers. It's a whole new me. But

00:42:06.800 you feel good. Well, we had our 11th anniversary over the weekend. Uh, my wife and I, um, 11th wedding

00:42:13.380 anniversary, 11 years we've been in this game as is, I guess, widely known. Now I met my wife when I was,

00:42:18.720 uh, an obscure shock jock morning radio host in Delaware earning, I believe, um, a cool $22,000 a year

00:42:26.220 if I remember correctly at the time. Started out at 17 grand a year. So I was there for five years

00:42:29.980 and I made it all the way up to 22,000 a year. Quite proud of that. Um, my wife, you know, married

00:42:35.500 me, moved into our, uh, one bedroom, 400 square foot apartment that I'd been living in. It was an

00:42:40.080 old house that had been converted into apartments. My, uh, my kitchen was at one point I could tell a

00:42:44.660 closet. It had been a closet, not even a walk-in closet. Now it was a kitchen, uh, rotating cast of

00:42:49.520 neighbors that always had a rotating list of reasons why the police were coming and, uh, visiting

00:42:54.880 them oftentimes late at night and quite noisily. Um, the whole building was infested with cockroaches

00:43:01.280 and mice and it was quite disgusting. My wife willingly married me and moved into that situation.

00:43:08.240 Um, I remember we had our first Thanksgiving as a married couple a month, about a month after we got

00:43:14.720 married and I didn't have a working oven in the apartment or, uh, or a dining room table or chairs

00:43:20.540 or, or anything really. I had no, like no furniture. So she whipped up a pretty good Thanksgiving meal 0.99

00:43:25.680 using mostly the microwave and we just sat around in folding chairs and ate it. And, uh, you know,

00:43:30.700 you look back at times like this sort of nostalgically, but in reality, living through it,

00:43:36.400 it was quite tough. You know, it's difficult, uh, to be broke and barely scraping by. And, um,

00:43:44.740 um, but we made it through, through that and, uh, and, uh, largely helped along by, by my wife and,

00:43:54.240 uh, all of that to say when she suggested a few weeks ago that on our anniversary this year,

00:44:02.020 I should accompany her to a tea time at a fancy hotel in Nashville. I figured I, I owed it to her.

00:44:08.840 Uh, it's not my cup of tea literally, but I said, you know what? You gave me everything in life that

00:44:15.780 I care about. I can, I can give you tea time. And so I, and so I did. And we went to the tea time

00:44:21.640 and, uh, she, she did tell me that there are plenty of men who go to the tea time and that it

00:44:28.340 wouldn't be weird for me as a man. Cause there'd be, there'd be other guys there. And that was false

00:44:32.620 advertising. It turned out because I got there and there were no, there were no other men. And

00:44:35.820 eventually there was another man, but he was 95 years old. And, uh, so, you know, and I was there

00:44:40.700 and they brought, they brought out the little tea kettles and they brought out little sandwiches,

00:44:45.960 uh, with cucumbers on them and all the food was way too small. And I was hungry and I just wanted

00:44:52.180 a beer and a cheeseburger, but I sat there and the women who were all at the tea time in their fancy 1.00

00:44:57.440 hats, they stared at me and, you know, they said to themselves, what the hell is this big bearded

00:45:01.780 oaf doing at our tea time? And I could feel their judgment bearing down on me, but, uh, I handled it

00:45:09.060 with grace and without complaint for the sake of my lovely bride. I did complain, but only a little

00:45:16.660 bit by my standards. So I think it was okay. Uh, my wife made it all better anyway, because she gave me

00:45:23.120 two bottles of whiskey and a bunch of socks as an anniversary present, which are my favorite things,

00:45:27.680 whiskey and socks. So it all worked out. All right. SK420 says, Matt, I listened to what you say

00:45:33.440 carefully. I'm 17. I deleted all social media to focus on football, not school. And my quality of

00:45:39.860 life has been way better. Godspeed, sweet daddy. I like how you specify you're focusing on football,

00:45:44.940 not school, but you're focusing on something. And I, and I consider that a good thing. You're focusing

00:45:48.280 not on social media, on something else, something that you're doing. And that is a, that is a positive.

00:45:54.300 That puts you far ahead of most, most of your peers, I would say. Uh, Ronan says, Matt, a good

00:45:59.760 alternative to the word proud is honored. We all know that people these days have too much pride in

00:46:05.080 things that they didn't get themselves and things that aren't an accomplishment. Yeah, I think honored

00:46:10.720 works. Like I said, you could also say, rather than saying I'm proud of this or that, you can say I'm

00:46:14.020 happy about this. I'm, I actually think grateful is the better word to be used, to be using in so many

00:46:19.480 contexts. But the problem is that, uh, as we talked about, you know, only certain people are allowed

00:46:26.800 to be proud. Whereas other people, it's not just that you're not supposed to be proud. It's that

00:46:30.920 you're supposed to be the opposite. You're supposed to be, uh, uh, guilt-ridden and remorseful.

00:46:38.660 Um, the preacher's wife says, just watched what is a woman with a bunch of friends, hilarious and

00:46:44.480 terrifying. We knew that there were people that evil and deranged in our society or who knew I

00:46:49.700 appreciate Matt's facial expressions during their insane answers. Fantastic job. I wish it were on a

00:46:54.320 non-paid platform. The people that need to see it won't pay. I totally understand why they have to

00:46:59.780 charge, but wish someone would sponsor it for the public to be able to watch. Absolutely a must watch.

00:47:04.600 Well, we have been going on tour, uh, screening the movie all around. And, and I know that there are

00:47:08.540 other plenty of other groups that have had their own screenings, which is something that

00:47:11.980 I would encourage you to do have your own screening, invite people to come. But at the same time,

00:47:16.760 also, um, you know, it, I know that, uh, that the daily wire and the platform that we offer here

00:47:27.160 that we, you know, I believe in what we're doing. I believe we're, we are doing important work in the

00:47:32.140 culture. And, um, as we always are talking about, and it's true, it sounds like a sales pitch and it

00:47:39.680 sort of is, but it also happens to be the truth that we can't do this work without people becoming

00:47:44.960 subscribers and paying and supporting us. Like this is, this really is a team effort,

00:47:49.360 which is one of the reasons why, you know, it's, you're not going to take your content and just

00:47:53.460 offer for free to the public. Um, because if we do that, then we're not the platform. We don't

00:47:59.500 have the power and the ability to do the things we do. We also don't have a movie like what is a

00:48:03.080 woman doesn't exist without the subscribers. It just wouldn't, we wouldn't be able to do it. 1.00

00:48:08.320 We would not have been able to do it and we wouldn't be able to do anything like it in

00:48:10.620 the future. So, but thank you for watching. Really appreciate that. Um, evil Chucky says

00:48:16.660 you can only earn respect. You certainly can't demand it. Uh, yeah, it's, it's actually the

00:48:22.720 difference between command and demand, right? You can't demand respect. Well, you can, I mean,

00:48:27.980 you could go into a demanding respect is to go into a room and say, everyone must respect me right

00:48:32.500 now. That's demanding. You're making demands. Um, commanding is just your very, you know,

00:48:38.040 the way you carry yourself, the way you operate, your presence attracts respect. It commands it.

00:48:46.900 This is also the true, I think, uh, this is, this is, this is true in parenting too.

00:48:51.160 It's a mistake that we can make as parents is that we're very demanding. We can be very demanding,

00:48:55.520 but not commanding. Yeah. You can make demands of your kids and shout and yell and everything and

00:49:02.340 say, do this, do that. And you can do that. And that'll get you. That only gets you so far though.

00:49:08.040 Um, there's a certain point where if you've demanded obedience, you've demanded respect,

00:49:14.080 you've demanded compliance for your kids. There's a certain point where they just don't

00:49:18.760 care about the demands anymore. That's why instead, you know, good parenting is commanding. You command

00:49:26.920 respect from your kids by your presence, by your example, by your leadership in the home.

00:49:33.760 Um, and Ashley says, Matt, after hearing your comments about Rudolph, I'm wondering if you can

00:49:41.260 offer a contrarian take on the Grinch where the Grinch is the good guy. Well, it's not even a

00:49:46.960 challenge. I mean, are you kidding me? To begin with, they tell you in the story right off the bat

00:49:51.820 that the Grinch's heart is two sizes too small. So he suffers from a disability. He's disabled. He has a 0.98

00:49:58.140 chronic heart condition and he's been banished to live alone in a cave on a mountain. And yet we're

00:50:03.380 supposed to just accept that he's the bad guy and nobody asks any questions about the backstory.

00:50:07.960 How did he end up there? Why are none of the who's in Whoville concerned about this man's health

00:50:13.140 and wellbeing? The holier than thou who's have completely ostracized a disabled guy. And we're

00:50:20.160 supposed to accept that his anger is unfounded. And I mean, you could argue this is a story about

00:50:26.140 marginalization, if anything. And it's inconsistent too, because we talked about with Rudolph,

00:50:30.780 who's a deformed freak, but we're supposed to feel bad for him when he's kicked out of society. 0.90

00:50:37.040 And yet the Grinch doesn't get the same consideration, which doesn't make any sense to me. 0.58

00:50:42.040 Meanwhile, the who's are frankly annoying as hell. They apparently sing all day and night at the top of 1.00

00:50:46.520 their lungs. They got no concern for anybody else. It's obnoxious and inconsiderate. And I'm talking

00:50:50.240 about just the literary version here. You know, the Grinch from the novel. I'm not even talking about

00:50:54.880 the Grinch from the live action film 20 years ago, which if that's canonical, then my point is even

00:51:03.320 more vindicated because that really inadvertently reveals the who's to be not only annoying,

00:51:08.380 but judgmental and frivolous and fake. Now, does all of this justify the Grinch's actions? I'm not

00:51:14.180 saying that it does, but I think if anything, it's more of a Michael Douglas and falling down

00:51:18.620 type of situation. This is a man or whatever he is pushed to the brink. And in the Grinch's case,

00:51:26.680 he actually has a change of heart revealing a depth of humility and love and empathy never demonstrated

00:51:34.360 by any of the who's. So this, it's very much a hero's journey, I would say. I don't even think that's

00:51:43.840 contrarian. I think it's just, I think, how else would you read the story? Well, like a baby that

00:51:48.720 sees its father after he shaves his beard, the Sweet Baby Gang recently experienced something of

00:51:54.900 a sweet daddy identity crisis. Graduating from my signature plaid to a more refined wardrobe was

00:52:01.060 too much to handle, causing outcries of, well, crying. Now, in honor of the Sweet Baby Gang's campaign

00:52:07.120 to bully me into wearing clothing they approve of and the establishment of what should be a national 0.89

00:52:12.000 holiday, the latest installment of my patch program that I never forget about is the Flannel Friday

00:52:17.380 Patch. Let it be a memento of compelled fashion, among other quirks in our strange agreement, where I,

00:52:23.440 the cult leader, am subservient to the whims of my followers. No, I'm not. What the hell is it? Go to

00:52:29.700 dailywire.com slash shop to get the patch today. And while you're there, get a t-shirt and a Johnny

00:52:34.820 the Walrus plushie and the Johnny the Walrus book and a Leftist Tears Tumblr and a poster. You can get

00:52:41.600 all of that stuff. Do it right now because I told you to. Also, the Daily Wire's post-production team

00:52:47.180 is expanding as in a need of new talented video effort editors to help with the ever-increasing

00:52:52.820 volume of Daily Wire content. Our video editors work on a variety of content, including our daily

00:52:57.760 podcast, long-form interviews, and original YouTube videos, as well as shows like Ben Shapiro's

00:53:02.820 Debunked, also Jordan Peterson, and a host of other Daily Wire Plus content. We're looking for highly

00:53:08.200 creative people who possess strong technical knowledge of the video editing process. At least

00:53:12.300 two years of previous professional video editing experiences required for this opportunity, and be

00:53:16.700 sure to have your real or work samples prepared as they're required for consideration for this

00:53:21.220 position. This is a Nashville-based position, so for details, and if you want to apply, go to

00:53:25.860 dailywire.com slash Walsh and click on careers. And finally, we launched Jeremy's Razors just a few

00:53:33.180 months ago. We've already taken millions of dollars away from woke razor companies that hate you

00:53:37.300 and use that money to better support your values. Jeremy's Razors is still the only razor brand that

00:53:42.520 actually upholds virtue instead of signaling it. Today, you can get 40% off your Founder Series

00:53:47.320 shave kit when you go to jeremysrazors.com. That's jeremysrazors.com. Now let's get to our daily

00:53:54.160 cancellation. During this segment, we have in the past discussed the ever-growing epidemic of crying

00:54:03.200 baristas. You know, there's a whole genre of video now, usually posted at TikTok, but sometimes

00:54:07.920 Instagram or Twitter, consisting of Starbucks employees complaining, whining, or full-on weeping

00:54:13.600 about the difficulties of their jobs. Their list of grievances are many and varied, but they seem to

00:54:19.480 primarily take issue with the behavior of the customer. Specifically, the customer behavior they

00:54:23.880 despise the most is that the customer exists. So the act of existing is what they really don't like.

00:54:31.040 They resent the fact that customers come into the store and expect them to do things. And when lots

00:54:37.760 of customers have the nerve to come into the store at one time, they feel especially attacked.

00:54:43.360 These weepy baristas, they'd prefer if Starbucks had no customers. They would like to get paid by 1.00

00:54:49.460 Starbucks. In fact, they want to get paid a lot more by Starbucks. And yet they also want Starbucks

00:54:54.360 to get much less business or no business at all. Pay me more to do less, they demand.

00:55:01.320 This is their bargaining strategy. Offer to do less work, and in exchange for that concession,

00:55:08.040 request more money. Now, at some Starbucks locations across the country, baristas have

00:55:12.620 unionized around these demands. There's a growing organized labor movement at Starbucks. As of the

00:55:17.500 beginning of October, over 300 locations had held union elections. Purely by coincidence, I'm sure,

00:55:23.160 some of the unionized stores were subsequently closed down by corporate headquarters. So they

00:55:28.260 unionize, and then Starbucks says, never mind, you're closed. Union members allege that this was

00:55:33.620 an act of retaliation. Starbucks corporate denies the claim. I have no opinion either way. Personally,

00:55:38.960 I mean, I don't know. All I know, all that I'll say personally is that it is, as always,

00:55:46.100 greatly enjoyable to watch a woke corporation get eaten alive by its own woke employees.

00:55:53.160 And yet, I must admit that my satisfaction is impeded somewhat by the realization that the

00:55:59.080 Starbucks drama is not playing out on some distant planet where I can simply watch it unfold

00:56:04.500 through a telescope and laugh and then go about my day. On the contrary, this is all happening right

00:56:09.040 here on this planet in a country that I must share with those involved. That's what makes it in the

00:56:15.600 end less funny and a bit more terrifying. Especially when you consider videos like this one,

00:56:21.520 which just went viral over the weekend. Watch.

00:56:25.080 People wonder why we need a union at Starbucks, and I am literally about to quit. Like, I don't know

00:56:33.560 if I'm going to do it, but like, I really want to. I almost walked out today, and I'm crying in the

00:56:38.080 back room right now, and I almost got on the floor. It's just, I, like, I get, I'm like a full-time

00:56:44.100 student. I get scheduled for 25 hours a week, and then on weekends, they schedule me the entire day

00:56:49.280 open to close. I'm on the schedule for eight and a half hours, both Saturday and Sunday. I'm like

00:56:55.500 three and a half hours into my shift. There's so many customers, and we have four people on the

00:57:00.860 floor all day. Only five people were put on the schedule, and somebody had to call out. And there

00:57:06.760 are four people running the whole store, and there's so many customers, and there's possibly

00:57:10.260 scheduled five people. We only have 13 people employed at this store, and there's so many

00:57:16.700 customers. I have to say, this Blair Witch Project reboot is pretty lame. The barista in this video

00:57:26.740 is a union activist who goes by the name Evan. This is also an Ivy League student, apparently,

00:57:32.360 which I'm sure comes as no surprise. These days, when you see someone curled up on the floor,

00:57:36.320 trembling in fear, muttering, there's so many customers, over and over again, like a trauma

00:57:41.280 victim, the first thing you think is that it must be an Ivy League student. But we haven't yet heard

00:57:46.240 the whole sob story, because there's more to it. Let's continue.

00:57:51.020 We don't have fair scheduling. Managers don't care about us. Our manager was supposed to come in this

00:57:55.480 weekend, and he took himself off the schedule, so he wouldn't be able to be held accountable for

00:57:58.960 calling out. He just literally tore down the schedule that he was scheduled on, and put up a

00:58:02.660 new schedule where he wasn't on the schedule. Also, he couldn't have even seen that he was

00:58:06.040 scheduled in the first place, because he didn't want to be held accountable for not wanting to come in.

00:58:12.940 They don't want to help us. We need a union, because this can't happen. This can't happen. We need fair

00:58:19.280 scheduling. We need managers to hold themselves accountable for helping their workers. They

00:58:25.300 refuse to turn mobile orders off. We need the liberty to be able to do that, because there's so

00:58:28.740 many mobile orders, and I need to get through all of them. And then people are yelling at me,

00:58:32.520 because I don't have their orders ready, and they don't know what to do. And a customer was

00:58:38.120 misgendering me tonight, like, really badly. I didn't have their order ready, and so they were just,

00:58:42.400 like, totally talking to each other, and they're like, she's clearly incompetent. 0.86

00:58:45.880 I have a full mustache and beard. What the f***? I don't get accommodations for being 1.00

00:58:54.840 neurodivergent. I don't, like, I can't use, like, people get mad at me. It's in my sick time.

00:59:02.160 I don't even know what to do anymore. I only got my wits out with this job. I really am.

00:59:08.880 Okay, a few things here. First of all, having a mustache doesn't mean you're not a woman.

00:59:18.120 Trust me, I know. I've been to the Women's March. Second, I'm not going to judge people simply for

00:59:23.560 whining about their jobs. We all whine about our jobs sometimes, but there is a time and place and

00:59:28.220 context for everything, and whining to the internet while still at your job during your shift in the

00:59:34.500 middle of a rush is neither the correct time nor the correct context nor the correct place. In fact,

00:59:41.180 there is no correct time, place, or context to air your complaints about your job publicly.

00:59:45.880 If you have a problem with your schedule, talk to your manager. If you need to vent,

00:59:51.480 talk to a friend or to your mom or another employee when you're both off the clock.

00:59:57.600 Venting to the entire world is never a good idea. The public can't help you with your problem.

01:00:03.320 We don't know you. We aren't your friend. And our sympathy for the plight of a stranger can only

01:00:09.220 be stretched so far. For many of us, given that we have real stresses and real responsibilities in

01:00:13.720 our lives, sympathizing with a grown adult having a temper tantrum because she has to work eight

01:00:17.840 hours pouring coffee is well beyond our emotional reach. You know, I frequently put in 10 or 11 hours

01:00:24.500 days, and then I come home to help care for my four children, soon to be six. But you're not going to

01:00:30.880 see me huddled back in the storage closet filming a teary-eyed selfie video and complaining about my

01:00:36.700 stresses because I have self-respect and also because I realize that there are a great many

01:00:40.520 people in this world who have much harder lives than I do. I only cry on camera when I'm not given

01:00:47.800 the big stuffed animal that I'm owed. But that's totally different. Now, this video would not be worth

01:00:54.540 commenting on if it was just representing a sort of isolated issue. If it was just this one barista

01:01:01.020 crying about having to work a basic eight-hour shift, I wouldn't be worried about the video.

01:01:05.880 And if extended beyond this one individual but was relegated only to Starbucks baristas,

01:01:10.780 we'd still probably be better off ignoring it. But unfortunately, this represents a society-wide

01:01:16.200 problem. There are a great many people in this country who share this person's attitude. And to be

01:01:21.300 clear, the troublesome attitude is not simply that they don't want to work. I mean, nobody really

01:01:26.060 wants to work. Almost all of us would take a billion dollars and spend the rest of our lives

01:01:30.120 on vacation if that option was presented to us. I have no issue with people who wish they didn't

01:01:34.980 have to put in the work. I wish for a lot of things that are unreasonable or impossible.

01:01:40.860 I'm about to have two newborns in my house again. I wish that they're both going to sleep soundly

01:01:45.100 through the night from the moment that they're born. I wish that my kids would keep their room

01:01:48.880 spotlessly clean. I wish that we could walk out the door without having to look around frantically

01:01:52.960 for somebody's lost shoe or jacket. I wish for many things. If I ever gain access to a magical genie,

01:02:00.160 I will have a whole laundry list of wishes ready to go. But until that day arrives, I accept that things

01:02:06.580 are not exactly how I want them to be. And I carry on with my life and I fulfill my responsibilities

01:02:11.060 anyway. This is the key to adulthood. In fact, this is adulthood. It is what being an adult is all about.

01:02:19.780 You must develop the ability to function and thrive in environments that are not specifically set up

01:02:26.020 to satisfy your every desire and whim. You must be able to cope with frustration and succeed in spite

01:02:33.040 of it and through it. Being an adult in the real world is to be constantly thrust into situations

01:02:38.360 where things are not going exactly how you want them to go. And there's more stress than you would

01:02:44.660 like. And yet carrying on anyway and finding a way to turn even unfortunate circumstances to your

01:02:51.240 advantage in pursuit of your goals. The problem is that we've built a society filled with people who

01:02:57.760 cannot handle any amount of frustration at all. They can't carry on, let alone thrive. They collapse and

01:03:04.000 they melt into a puddle. And rather than converting frustration into opportunity, which is what successful

01:03:10.240 people do, they look to convert everything into pity. Because that's the only currency they're

01:03:16.540 interested in collecting. And the fundamental issue is that while nobody wants to work,

01:03:23.140 these people actually think that they shouldn't have to. They don't just wish for the magical genie.

01:03:28.960 They think that the world owes it to them. And when the world doesn't give them what they believe

01:03:33.920 they're owed, they only cave into themselves even farther. Feeling not only sorry for themselves,

01:03:38.940 but also aggrieved. As though the very realities of human existence are an attack on them personally.

01:03:46.760 You cannot function as an adult this way. And if too many people in a society have this attitude,

01:03:53.040 soon society can no longer function. That's what we're facing now. And it's why I must say to Evan,

01:04:01.220 the Ivy League barista, crying in the storage room, you are today canceled.

01:04:07.060 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:04:10.800 Hope to see you there. If not, talk to you tomorrow. Godspeed.
