The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1061 - We’re Criminalizing The Drag Queen Groomers In Tennessee

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, we are still playing offense here in Tennessee. Not only are we banning

00:00:04.820 child mutilation, but we're also going to criminalize child drag shows. Also, a detransitioner 1.00

00:00:10.160 sues the medical professionals, quote unquote, who butchered her. An obese man wins a Miss

00:00:14.780 America pageant. The rather one-sided Trump versus DeSantis war heats up, and somebody

00:00:19.640 allegedly finds a noose at the construction site for Obama's presidential center. These stories

00:00:24.600 are literally always hoaxes. Is this one any different? Almost certainly not, but we'll talk

00:00:28.360 about it. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:39.280 The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is a huge, albeit long overdue, step in the right

00:00:44.140 direction, but there's still a long way to go to rid our country of abortion. Many companies are

00:00:48.080 bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and candidates or reimbursing their employees'

00:00:52.620 travel expenses so that if they live and work in a pro-life state, they can travel to a pro-abortion

00:00:56.680 state, get an abortion, be back at work on Monday. Well, what if I told you that if you're currently 1.00

00:01:00.760 on a phone plan with one of the major carriers, you might be supporting these companies and their

00:01:04.840 pro-abortion agendas with your monthly phone bill, whether you want to or not. Don't let abortionists 1.00

00:01:08.780 use your money to fund policies you don't believe in. Switch to Charity Mobile instead.

00:01:46.420 Well, this is a time when many conservatives are licking their wounds, sulking, whining. Even worse,

00:01:53.140 they're sniping at each other. And this is all, of course, a massive mistake. Now, I may not be the

00:01:58.020 greatest bastion of optimism and positivity in the world. I realize that. I'm not the guy you turn to

00:02:03.520 for a pep talk usually. But I also am not one for pouting. It's unbecoming of a grown man to pout

00:02:09.120 or sulk. And besides, I prefer to stay on offense, even after a loss. In fact, especially after a

00:02:15.320 loss. And that's why we're still playing offense here in Tennessee. I've already told you about

00:02:20.280 the bill filed this week, the very first piece of legislation in the session, Bill 1, which will

00:02:24.420 ban so-called gender affirmation, quote, unquote, procedures on minors. And the media has lamented

00:02:30.860 that our bill is among the strictest in the nation. And I will proudly admit that we are guilty as

00:02:36.400 charged as far as that goes. Our legislation not only bans the medical abuse of gender-confused

00:02:41.660 minors, but it also empowers the victims to sue those who are responsible for it. And what I

00:02:48.320 believe, I believe this is an unprecedented step. The victims of this butchery will even be given the

00:02:52.740 right to sue their parents. After all, parents who bring their children to doctors to be sterilized

00:02:58.300 and castrated and butchered are the primary villains here, even more than the doctors, I would say.

00:03:03.480 I mean, the doctor is a mercenary fraud, hurting children for profit, betraying his oath to do 0.61

00:03:08.800 no harm. It's hard to get lower than that, but the parents somehow succeed as they are bound by an

00:03:14.960 oath before God to love and protect their children. Whether they have said such an oath out loud or not,

00:03:20.640 they are bound by it from the moment that their children are conceived. And those parents who fail

00:03:26.200 to live up to it will pay the price as well they should. But child abuse comes in many and diverse

00:03:33.060 and deranged forms these days. And our goal must be to root it out, expose it, punish it in every

00:03:41.160 form. And that brings us to Bill 3 of the legislative session, just filed by Tennessee Senate Majority

00:03:46.780 Leader Jack Johnson, also one of the principal architects of our anti-mutilation bill. Bill 3 will

00:03:53.500 ban and criminalize any drag performance involving children. The Hill reports, quote,

00:03:59.560 Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, a Republican, has introduced legislation to prohibit

00:04:03.440 drag entertainers from performing on public property or at private functions where their performance may

00:04:09.180 be viewed by a minor. Johnson's bill would amend a state law preventing adult-oriented businesses like

00:04:14.280 strip clubs from operating within 1,000 feet of schools, public parks, or places of worship to

00:04:19.240 include adult cabaret performances, including those of exotic dancers and male or female impersonators.

00:04:25.620 Johnson told WKRN-TV in Nashville this week that the bill is designed to prevent drag shows that are 0.59

00:04:30.460 sexual in nature from being performed in places where children may be present. Should the bill advance

00:04:35.860 through Tennessee's Republican-controlled legislature and receive the approval of Governor Bill Lee,

00:04:40.980 both of which things I think certainly will happen, first-time offenders would be guilty of a

00:04:45.020 class A misdemeanor punishable by jail time of up to a year and a fine of $2,500. Repeat offenders

00:04:49.600 would be charged with a class E felony, which carries a prison sentence of up to six years

00:04:53.840 and fines totaling up to $3,000. So we have the anti-mutilation bill. This now is the anti-groomer

00:05:02.140 bill. And predictably, the groomers are not happy about it. Our local News Channel 5 interviewed some

00:05:08.740 in the latter group, the groomers who are upset, to get their reaction. And let's see some of that.

00:05:14.100 This bill would also ban drag shows where children may be present. It's extremely hurtful. Mack puts

00:05:22.860 on pageants for male impersonators and divas. And she's the Nashville Pride president. It would 1.00

00:05:30.520 devastate our Pride parade, our Pride festival. According to State Senator Jack Johnson, there

00:05:37.280 were inappropriate performances in public, which sparked the bill. It is illegal to take your child to

00:05:43.380 a strip club. And yet we're going to allow a drag show that has blatantly explicit sexual activity 1.00

00:05:50.440 taking place in a public park where kids are present. No, we're going to stop that. We also talked to

00:05:56.420 Chris Sanders at the Tennessee Equality Project. He says it's frustrating that the first two bills

00:06:02.180 introduced for this legislative season target them. Merely dressing in the clothing of a different

00:06:08.220 gender is not something that should be regulated ever. Not in our American tradition, not according

00:06:15.780 to our Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and not according to common sense. If drag kings 1.00

00:06:21.160 and queens perform in public, they could be charged with a misdemeanor. And the second offense is

00:06:26.760 a felony. It's just not right. It's not our American tradition to stifle expression. Rebecca feels

00:06:34.160 freedom of speech and expression should be protected. The wording is very violent to trans people and

00:06:42.920 it's dangerous and it's homophobic. And I think that there's a very slippery slope. A slippery slope.

00:06:50.320 Yes. Watch out for that slippery slope, folks. First, you tell adults they can't perform in burlesque for

00:06:54.900 children. And the next thing you know, chaos has ensued. And by chaos, we mean that children are

00:07:02.460 given the basic protections they need and deserve. This is what counts as chaos in the minds of the

00:07:07.300 groomers. Indeed, it is homophobic, she says, because apparently in her mind, sexual performances 0.63

00:07:12.840 for children are a fundamental and inextricable part of gay culture. That is her claim, evidently. 1.00

00:07:18.560 That's what she is saying. There's a reason why these people panic over the possibility that they may not

00:07:23.740 be able to sexualize children anymore. For one thing, they get a thrill out of doing so. They

00:07:27.160 derive sick satisfaction from it. And they're upset that this favorite pastime of theirs will now be

00:07:32.740 taken away. But they also realize that their ideological project, their cultural agenda, depends

00:07:37.720 on destroying childhood innocence as quickly and efficiently as possible. And they're going to find

00:07:43.660 it more difficult to recruit children into their cult if they can't first corrupt them. And that's why

00:07:48.720 they're upset. That's why this law is necessary. And similar laws should be adopted in

00:07:53.620 every red state in the country. And if you live in a red state that doesn't have a law like this,

00:07:57.620 you need to be reaching out to your local legislators and asking them why you don't.

00:08:02.700 But there are other, basically, this all boils down to the benefits of a law like this. First,

00:08:10.200 the most obvious benefit is, again, it protects kids. In this country, there are special laws

00:08:16.540 and policies put in place to protect all kinds of different special groups and victim classes.

00:08:23.360 And usually, the laws are unnecessary. And the special group neither needs nor deserves nor has 1.00

00:08:28.600 any legal right to the extra protections that they're being given. But children are, in fact,

00:08:35.560 a special group. And they are, in fact, morally and legally entitled to extra protections.

00:08:40.040 The law is meant to treat them differently, with special care and concern for their well-being.

00:08:49.400 Largely because we recognize that they can't fully watch out for and care for themselves.

00:08:55.520 And so then a functional and decent society recognizes that and offers them extra protections.

00:09:02.500 You can tell everything you need to know about a society based on how it treats its children

00:09:06.540 and based on what its laws say about children. And that's how you know that we are a depraved and

00:09:15.500 dying society, because children are not only deprived of special protections, even as special

00:09:20.780 protections are awarded to groups of infantilized adults, but worse, the law often specifically denies

00:09:26.580 children even the most basic and fundamental rights and protections that everybody else has,

00:09:31.560 such as the right to life. This is all backwards. And we're going to set it right.

00:09:38.540 Second, politically, this is a winner because not only do decent Americans want kids to be protected,

00:09:43.660 but also it puts the other side in the position that you heard in that news clip of having to

00:09:48.480 explicitly defend and affirmatively argue for the sexual exploitation of children.

00:09:55.040 We already know that they're in favor of such things, but if you don't wage a legal assault on it,

00:10:00.020 they'll never have to openly own this horrific position. It's good for the public to hear

00:10:06.120 when they make the case. It's good for the public to hear them make the case so the public can see

00:10:12.000 who they are. Third, finally, politics may be downstream from culture, but also sometimes culture

00:10:22.620 is downstream from politics. It's not quite as simple as we sometimes make it out to be. And what I mean is

00:10:28.200 that when the law is permissive of something, the public is more likely to see that thing as morally

00:10:35.180 acceptable. When the law forbids something, the public is more likely to see it as morally

00:10:42.180 unacceptable. This is just a fact. The law is not simply a reflection of public opinion.

00:10:52.800 Sometimes it doesn't reflect public opinion at all. But at other times, it also shapes public opinion.

00:11:00.180 This is why the left fights so hard to change the law to accommodate and affirm their wickedness and

00:11:05.860 their various perversions. They do it not just so that they have permission to act as they want,

00:11:12.180 but also so that the public will see their actions as acceptable, even admirable.

00:11:16.780 This is why we have to fight in the culture, but also in the statehouse. And that's what we're trying

00:11:26.600 to do here. We aren't dissuaded. I'm certainly not. In fact, I've never felt more motivated.

00:11:33.660 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:34.980 Well, if you're listening to this show, odds are that you put a lot of stock into how you raise your

00:11:45.340 kids. You understand that your children look to you to define your values and their perspectives

00:11:49.580 of the world. That's why it's extremely important that you have a will in place. A will also determines

00:11:54.180 how your financial assets are dispersed, as well as your personal property. It lays out your healthcare

00:11:58.860 power of attorney to ensure that your end-of-life decisions are carried out. If you're just starting

00:12:02.920 out and you don't have thousands of dollars to spend on an attorney, but you want to make sure

00:12:06.500 your savings, your belongings, and your family are all protected, you have to create your will

00:12:25.540 Okay, so speaking of pouting and sniping, that brings us, unfortunately, to President Trump.

00:12:36.680 This is from the Daily Wire. I don't even want to talk about this stuff. Like, as I said at the top,

00:12:45.260 although, and as I've been saying since Tuesday, although the red wave didn't come to pass and all

00:12:51.280 that kind of stuff, then it was a disappointment, I don't see it as the unmitigated catastrophe,

00:12:57.700 the disaster that lots of other people see it as. I see opportunities here, and so I'd rather focus

00:13:02.840 on that. But we talk about the news on this show as well, especially in the five headlines, and

00:13:07.860 well, this, unfortunately, is the biggest headline in politics right now. So this is from the Daily

00:13:11.940 Wire. It says, former President Trump followed up an unprovoked attack on Florida's Ron DeSantis

00:13:17.240 with a strange swipe Friday morning at another popular Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin of

00:13:22.040 Virginia. In both cases, the former president, who is expected again to seek the White House in 2024,

00:13:26.760 claimed credit for the success of his targets. While the attack on DeSantis was withering,

00:13:31.520 the comments about Youngkin included a bizarre observation about his name and a backhanded vote

00:13:36.400 of confidence. So he wrote on Truth Social, Youngkin. Now that's an interesting take. Sounds Chinese, 0.99

00:13:44.300 doesn't it? What? In Virginia, couldn't have won without me. I endorsed him, did a very big pro-Trump,

00:13:51.880 a Trump rally for him telephonically, got MAGA to vote for him, or he couldn't have come close to

00:13:57.660 winning. But he knows that and admits it. Besides, having a hard time with the Dems in Virginia,

00:14:02.860 but he'll get it done. Okay, first of all, I'm sorry, that's just not true at all.

00:14:08.700 Um, the, uh, the, the red wave in Virginia, DeSantis, uh, rather, uh, Youngkin winning in

00:14:15.860 Virginia. It, I mean, Trump might've attached himself to that late in the game, but that was

00:14:21.160 like work on the ground. That was work that we were doing. Okay. That's, that's where that came

00:14:25.960 from. Those were people mobilized for issues like on the issues. It wasn't, it wasn't people

00:14:30.120 mobilized because they love Trump. Although many of the Youngkin's voters might like Trump,

00:14:33.660 but I think it's like insulting to them to say, that's what it was all about. Oh,

00:14:38.840 they just came out to vote because they liked Trump. That was a lot more substantive than that.

00:14:43.940 It wasn't even just that they came out because they personally love Youngkin.

00:14:47.940 What made Virginia so significant is that they were, they were really, and I was there. I know

00:14:52.320 they were, I lived there. As you know, that was my, I, that's my home state. And, uh, they were

00:14:58.200 motivated by the issues and they were especially motivated to protect their kids. That's

00:15:03.500 why they, they, they showed up and that's why they voted Youngkin in is because these

00:15:07.340 were parents protecting their children. Um, that was it. As far as his, his, uh, attack

00:15:15.420 on DeSantis. And by the way, with, with the Chinese name thing, like, I don't, I don't

00:15:20.240 even know what that is. Um, except more evidence that Trump unfortunately is losing his touch

00:15:24.840 when it comes to, to, to nicknames. And I know for that, you know, you're going to hear

00:15:28.820 some people say, well, that's not an attack. That's not an insult. That was a, it's just

00:15:31.800 funny. It's a funny, first of all, it's not funny. Like, come on, this is not, that's not

00:15:35.860 clever. Uh, but this is also what they said about when, when he said the sanctimonious

00:15:41.360 and apologists last week were saying, well, I'm just a clever little funny dig at him.

00:15:46.740 You know, it's just, just as friends do. And then what do you know, a day later he launches

00:15:51.620 into this full on attack. So yeah, he, he starts with the nickname and then he goes into

00:15:56.460 the, the, into the full attack. And so we can expect that's going to happen with Youngkin as

00:16:00.460 well. Um, but here's what he said, but he put out a statement yesterday about the Santhus

00:16:05.960 and here's what it says. News Corp, which is Fox, the wall street journal and the no longer

00:16:12.600 great New York post, uh, is all in for governor Ron to sanctimonious an average Republican

00:16:18.800 governor with great public relations who didn't have to close up his state, but did unlike other

00:16:24.240 Republican governors, whose overall numbers for Republican were just average middle of the

00:16:28.640 pack, including COVID and who has the advantage of sunshine where people from badly run States 1.00

00:16:33.960 up North would go no matter who the governor was just like I did. That's all one sentence,

00:16:39.060 by the way, Ron came to me in desperate shape in 2017. He was politically dead, losing in a

00:16:44.940 landslide to a very good agricultural commissioner, Adam Putnam, who was loaded up with cash and great

00:16:50.000 poll numbers. Ron had low approval, bad polls and no money. But he said that if I would endorse

00:16:54.720 him, he could win. I didn't know Adam. So I said, let's give it a shot, Ron. When I endorsed him,

00:16:59.220 it was as though to use a bad term, a nuclear weapon went off. Years later, there were the exact

00:17:04.700 words that Adam Putnam used in describing Ron's endorsement. He said, I went from having it made

00:17:10.600 with no competition to immediately getting absolutely clobbered after your endorsement.

00:17:14.160 I then got Ron by the star of the Democrat party, uh, Andrew Gillum by having two massive rallies

00:17:20.500 with tens of thousands of people at each one. I also fixed his campaign, which had completely

00:17:24.720 fallen apart. I was all in for Ron and he beat Gillum. But after the race, when votes were being

00:17:28.300 stolen by the corrupt election process in Broward County and Ron was going down 10,000 votes a day,

00:17:32.700 along with now Senator Rick Scott, I sent in the FBI and the U S attorneys and the ballot theft

00:17:36.840 immediately ended just prior to them running out of the votes necessary to win. I stopped his election

00:17:41.460 from being stolen. And now Rhonda Sanctimonis is playing games. The fake news asks if he's going to run, 0.99

00:17:47.560 if president Trump runs, and he says, I'm only focused on the governor's race. Well,

00:17:50.500 in terms of loyalty and class, that's really not the right answer. This is just 2015 and 2016,

00:17:55.980 a media assault when Fox news fought me to the end until I won and they couldn't have been nicer

00:18:00.260 and more supportive. The wall street journal loved low energy Jeb Bush and a succession of other people

00:18:04.500 as they rapidly disappeared from sight, finally falling in line with me after I easily knocked

00:18:08.000 them out one by one. We're in exactly the same position now. They will keep coming after us,

00:18:11.880 MAGA, but ultimately we will put America first and make America great again. Me, me, me, me, me.

00:18:15.940 I, I, I, I, I, I, okay. Um, I don't even know where to begin. I mean, first of all,

00:18:21.880 going after DeSantis on COVID is just suicidal. Are you kidding me? I mean, right now it's true that,

00:18:29.040 that, uh, I don't think that any public official in the United States is entirely 100% innocent

00:18:38.060 when it comes to the lockdowns. I, as far as I know, and correct me on that, but I think every state

00:18:43.200 in the country for at least a period of time, locked down to some brief extent. Uh, so that's

00:18:50.200 true, you know, and, and, and so we could just like throw everybody out and just dismiss everybody

00:18:55.140 based on that. Or we can allow for the fact that, uh, in the very, very, very early going,

00:19:01.140 uh, it was just, people didn't know exactly what was going on and, uh, some decisions were made and

00:19:06.600 not all that were good in the very, very, very, very beginning. Okay. But then quickly the dust

00:19:12.600 started to settle or it should have, but people started to see very clearly, or at least some

00:19:15.960 people did. And that's when, uh, you know, uh, very quickly Ron DeSantis became an anti-lockdown

00:19:22.940 governor. And that's why they, the, the media labeled him, remember death Santas. And once he

00:19:27.640 settled on that, he stuck to it, you know, and there were different waves and different this and that.

00:19:32.080 And they, you know, they had the Omicron variant came along and all the different variants. And

00:19:35.620 they said, this is the super mega, uh, ultra, you know, uh, bad variant that's going to kill

00:19:40.220 her. And, and, and, and he stuck to it then, uh, same for Kristi Noem, same for some other

00:19:44.680 Republican governors now, but for Trump to try to hit him on COVID again, it's, it's, it's politically

00:19:51.100 suicidal. It's insane because Donald Trump handed the country over to Fauci for a year. He just did.

00:19:57.100 And, and, and like, we remember that and there's nothing that you can do to make us not remember it.

00:20:02.080 It happened. Okay. He could have fired Fauci and he didn't. And when asked to explain it after the

00:20:06.880 fact, he said, the reason he didn't do it, do it, do it is because if he did, the media would have

00:20:10.800 attacked him. So he handed the country over to Fauci. And the reason he did is because he didn't

00:20:15.120 want the media to be mad at him. And that's after three years where, when you think of what he would

00:20:18.920 learn, the media is going to be mad at him no matter what he does. Um, and he put, he put Fauci on TV

00:20:24.460 every freaking day. We had these, we had these marathon. Remember, if you recall the press

00:20:29.960 conferences with Fauci, Trump could have put a stop to that and he didn't. And he, and also when,

00:20:35.380 when Ron DeSantis opened the state back up, Trump criticized him for doing it and said that it was

00:20:41.980 reckless and he should do it. He also did the same thing with Kemp in Georgia. Kemp opened the state

00:20:45.740 up in Georgia and Trump criticized it and said they need to stay locked down. Now you can tell you why,

00:20:52.940 let's not harp on that. Well, but he, he's bringing it up. He's trying to make them into the,

00:20:58.640 into the, uh, the advocates for lockdowns. 15 days to slow the spread that became two weeks and a

00:21:06.780 month. That was Trump. Remember we'll be open by Easter. Easter comes and goes and yeah,

00:21:11.220 well, nevermind about that. You know, uh, and that's why we should be clear about what the problem

00:21:17.480 is here. It's not that he's criticizing a potential rival. Okay. That's bound to happen.

00:21:24.500 Like that's politics. It's going to happen. It'll get nasty. It'll get heated. Uh, they,

00:21:29.060 people try to destroy each other. Like that's politics. Everyone understands that. But the issue

00:21:35.040 though is number one, the timing. Okay. Um, that it's the timing. It's like the, the, the GOP

00:21:44.100 underperformed in most States, but you take the one state where they did well and you start going

00:21:51.000 after that guy. And then you go after Youngkin, which is another, if you, if you were to look at,

00:21:56.440 at, at, at the, at the greatest GOP victories of the last four years, the greatest GOP victory since

00:22:03.560 2016 happened in Florida and Virginia, thanks to DeSantis and Youngkin. And those are the two guys

00:22:10.200 you go after right now. But beyond that, it's also the manner of the criticism. It's not just the,

00:22:18.780 like, this is not, like I said yesterday, uh, you will not hear me criticize Trump or anyone else for 0.98

00:22:25.400 being just an a-hole and being kind of a jerk and being vicious, you know, because I'm, I am in no 0.99

00:22:30.700 spot to criticize anyone for that. And I also tend to think that there is a time and place to be that way. 0.99

00:22:35.380 And, uh, especially in politics, you need to be that way. That's not the problem here. The problem

00:22:40.580 is it just comes off as whiny and petulant and pitiful. It's just embarrassing. It's not, 0.87

00:22:45.840 you don't read that and go, well, that was mean. You read that and go, this is, I'm cringing. This

00:22:50.540 is embarrassing. You're just complaining. The whole statement is just one long statement. I want credit

00:22:57.300 for this. Give me credit. That's all it is. And if you're trying to make a political play to get

00:23:05.080 credit for something, then be smart about it. At least again, that I understand is politics.

00:23:10.280 Trump wants to run 2024. He wants to, you know, he's getting, he's getting criticized for, uh,

00:23:15.220 for what happened in the midterms. Uh, he wants to change that narrative. I get that. That's fair.

00:23:23.700 But you got to be smart about the way you do it. You don't do it by putting out these lengthy

00:23:28.060 rambling statements that go on for five pages, but only have two periods. And where you just

00:23:34.300 repeatedly demand, give me credit for this. That's not the way to do it.

00:23:41.040 You know, part of being a fighter is to be smart. And it's like I've been saying for days now,

00:23:47.300 it's not running around and flailing around and just slapping everything in sight. It's,

00:23:51.360 it's being targeted and smart and thinking about the timing and thinking about the manner that you

00:23:56.020 go about it. That's, that is a smart fighter. We don't need, you don't need, you don't need to just

00:23:59.600 be a fighter. You have to be smart and intelligent about the way that you do it.

00:24:05.340 And then there's also the question of what are you fighting for exactly? Okay. What I want,

00:24:11.240 what I respect are fighters who are fighting to win, not just for themselves, but for the country,

00:24:17.640 for our civilization. Like we're trying to save our civilization here. We're trying to save our

00:24:21.800 culture. That's what you should be fighting for. Well, this comes off from Trump is totally ego

00:24:28.820 driven. It's all about him. And that has always been his greatest weakness. It has always been

00:24:34.480 his greatest weakness is that he's driven by ego. And, and you know, the biggest problem with that,

00:24:40.320 it's not just that it compels him to do things like this, attacking people who, who right now,

00:24:47.160 at least he should be supporting, but also it makes him easily, you know, he can be easily manipulated

00:24:52.880 because being ego driven means that, okay, if someone criticizes him or, or takes, you know,

00:25:00.460 takes the spotlight away from him, he's going to attack them. But the other side of it,

00:25:03.700 if they flatter him and they compliment him, that he'll love them no matter who they are.

00:25:09.920 Which is why we heard all this stuff about draining the swamp. The, the, the swamp was

00:25:12.980 never drained from 2016 to 2020. It just wasn't. In fact, a lot of these establishment figures ended

00:25:17.960 up in the white house. They got hired to be in the white house that the, the, the, the, the,

00:25:22.480 the presidency was handed over essentially to Jared Kushner, John, John Bolton. You can't think of a,

00:25:27.640 of a, of a, you know, more establishment figure than that. And so many other examples. And the reason

00:25:33.520 that that happens is because they're able to cozy up to him and flatter him. And when they do that,

00:25:37.800 um, he'll give them whatever they want. So what I wish that we could do now is, uh, move past this.

00:25:53.300 There's going to be a primary and there's going to be a time for all of these kinds of conversations.

00:25:57.460 And there's going to be arguments and we're going to get mad at each other, you know, as we get into

00:26:01.340 the primaries. Some of you are going to be mad at me when we get into the primaries.

00:26:05.640 If you're not already, it's like, that's going to happen. It's just, that's part of the primary

00:26:08.880 process. Um, and right now I think we're looking at a wide open primary and there's, it's going to

00:26:13.520 be like 2016. There's going to be 90 people in the race. And so it's going to get a little,

00:26:17.820 it's going to get not a little, it's going to get very contentious and there's gonna be a lot

00:26:20.740 of fracturing and all that. And that, but that's, that's, that, that is part of the political

00:26:23.540 process. You just have to learn to embrace it and love it. And, uh, and that's,

00:26:27.420 that's cause that's what it's going to be, but we're not, we're not even close to there yet.

00:26:31.340 Two years away. I mean, we, what we cannot have, it's one thing to have a primary season

00:26:36.120 where there's a lot of infighting. Okay. A two year primary season, two years of this,

00:26:45.400 that, that is just self-immolation. That is just, that is, uh, that's not going to help Trump.

00:26:50.440 I don't think it's going to help DeSantis. I mean, right now it's helping DeSantis. It makes

00:26:53.300 him look better because he's just ignoring it. So he looks like the bigger man. He looks like the more

00:26:56.760 serious person, but I think eventually he'll end up getting dragged down into the mud too.

00:27:01.600 And it's just, it's not going to help anybody. It certainly will not help conservatives. It won't

00:27:04.720 help the culture. It won't help the country if we have two years of this.

00:27:10.740 So I really hope it doesn't come to that, but a lot of this, uh, it's, it's up to Trump. You know,

00:27:15.820 if he continues to do this for two years, then it's going to continue to be in the headlines,

00:27:19.000 continue to be in the spotlight. The media is going to, the media loves it. They love this.

00:27:23.120 They could not be happier about it. And, and anything Trump says attacking DeSantis or any

00:27:29.380 other Republican, the media will take that and they will amplify that. They will put it on

00:27:33.260 billboards. They want everyone to see it because they love this. So it's not entirely up to Trump,

00:27:39.820 but it's largely up to him whether or not this is going to continue for four years and, or two years

00:27:44.600 and everyone hurts. Everyone is, you know, everyone is, is, it goes down in flames because

00:27:48.760 of it. Or can he move past his wounded ego at the moment? Yeah, he's getting blamed. He thinks

00:27:57.920 unfairly for some of this stuff. Okay. Just like that's, that happens when you're a position of

00:28:04.040 leadership, you get blamed. Okay. If you want credit, you're going to get the blame too. It's how it

00:28:08.060 goes, but let's focus on the country right now. All right. Um, this is from Daily Wire. Chloe Cole

00:28:17.080 is a detransitioned, uh, 18 year old woman who was of course at our rally a few, few weeks ago,

00:28:22.440 our end child mutilation rally. Um, a, uh, detransitioned 18 year old woman announced

00:28:27.980 her intent on Thursday to sue the hospital and affiliated medical group that facilitated her

00:28:32.420 medical transition as a minor. According to the press release, Cole represented by the Dillon Law

00:28:36.940 Group and LaMandri and Gianna LLP in conjunction with the Center for Menarche and Liberty sent a

00:28:42.060 letter of intent to sue the Permanente Medical Group, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan and Kaiser

00:28:46.240 Foundation Hospitals who performed supervised and or advised transgender hormone therapy and surgical

00:28:51.120 interventions for Chloe Cole when she was between 13 and 17 years old. They'll also be seeking

00:28:56.280 punitive damages based on the evidence of malice, oppression, and fraud. Cole said, my teenage life

00:29:01.320 has been the culmination of excruciating pain, regret, and most importantly, injustice. I have been

00:29:05.940 emotionally and physically damaged and stunted by so-called medical professionals in my most

00:29:10.540 important developmental period. I was butchered by an institution that we trust more than anything

00:29:14.760 else in our lives. The letter of intent to sue outlines the, uh, experimental nature and off-label

00:29:19.820 use of the puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and double mastectomy surgery offered to Cole, which

00:29:24.840 lacked long-term studies to support their use in gender medicine and alleges that the treatments

00:29:29.160 amount to medical experimentation. And she's obviously exactly correct about this. Uh, you know,

00:29:35.900 I told you this when we had her, when we had Chloe Cole speak at a rally, she's an extremely impressive 1.00

00:29:40.140 young woman, uh, to, to be just at that environment in the rally. She's getting up there and sharing her

00:29:47.940 story, which is a, an unbelievably traumatic and horrific story. And while she's sharing it, you know,

00:29:55.980 on stage in front of thousands of people, she's got these, uh, you know, these left-wing vultures in the 1.00

00:30:01.820 crowd screaming at her and cussing at her. And she was able to, to, and that is, that is not an easy

00:30:07.020 environment even for a trained public speaker, which she isn't, you know, cause she just became sort of a

00:30:11.940 public figure only recently. Um, but she was able to persevere through that. And I found that very

00:30:19.360 impressive and, uh, this even more so. Um, and it takes a lot of courage. I mean, I know the kind of

00:30:27.100 blowback that I get from the trans activists and it, for me, it is constant and it is intense and it

00:30:35.380 is, it involves everything you could possibly imagine, including things that I can't, I still

00:30:40.800 can't even talk about for security reasons. Uh, but it's just, they throw everything they can at you.

00:30:46.840 They are utterly soulless demons who, uh, if you oppose them, they want to destroy you. They want 0.86

00:30:53.000 to kill you. They want you dead. Uh, and I get that. How much worse must it be for her? Because on top of 1.00

00:31:02.120 opposing them, they also, there's also the element in their twisted minds of betrayal. Like she's

00:31:10.320 betrayed them, you know, um, she's, uh, uh, you know, an apostate basically in their minds.

00:31:18.220 And on top of that, she has firsthand experience. She, she is revealing secrets that they don't want

00:31:24.700 out. A lot of stuff that she talks about, about what happened with her and, and the, the, the effects

00:31:30.860 of these drugs and these procedures, they all know that they know it from experience.

00:31:34.860 You know, they, they, they know how, how, how grim and grotesque and horrible. A lot of this stuff

00:31:41.880 is there. They, they, they, they themselves are also living through it, but they don't want us to

00:31:46.800 know. And she's revealing those secrets. And now she's going after, you know, now she's going after 0.62

00:31:52.140 the, the top dogs here. I mean, Kaiser Permanente, she's going after, you know, the, the, the,

00:31:57.420 butchers themselves, the pharmaceutical industry. And this is exactly what needs to happen.

00:32:01.440 All right. Speaking of the butchers, Libs of TikTok has this video of the director of

00:32:06.380 the gender health program at the Children's Hospital of Minnesota. Um, let's watch a little

00:32:12.400 bit of this.

00:32:15.220 So let's start with how kids understand gender identity. Well, from the age of about two,

00:32:20.740 kids can understand gender differences. Now, this is mostly based on physical characteristics

00:32:25.340 and anatomy as they sort and put people into categories, boys and girls, mommies and daddies.

00:32:31.440 Kids at two are actually very good at putting things into categories and they're very concrete

00:32:36.040 and binary thinkers. So this is a fun and easy task for them. As they move into age three and four,

00:32:42.140 they then begin to figure out where they fit. They've seen the categories and they're turning

00:32:46.700 the lens inward to discover where they fit in the categories that have been explained to them,

00:32:51.920 most of which are boy and girl. Now they often develop more sophisticated understanding of

00:32:58.440 physical characteristics and anatomy around this time. And they're often not shy about sharing

00:33:03.200 their discoveries with us. They may exclaim, I'm a girl and I have a vagina. And that may happen in 1.00

00:33:10.000 the pediatrician's office or in the checkout line at the grocery store. They have figured out their

00:33:16.420 place in the world and they are claiming it. It shouldn't surprise you then that some transgender kids 1.00

00:33:22.140 are also claiming their identities as young as three and four years old. They know the categories.

00:33:27.460 They know how they should feel inside based on their anatomy. And they also know that the way

00:33:32.220 that they see themselves doesn't line up with other people's expectations. From as young as some kids

00:33:37.620 can talk, they're explaining to their parents the truth about their identities. And I have three boys,

00:33:43.480 or rather I have three kids, six, six, and four, who were assigned male at birth and continue to identify

00:33:48.960 as boys. And when our kids were growing up, we tried to expand their gender categories just a little

00:33:54.900 bit. So instead of saying to them, these are boy parts and these are girl parts. God help those

00:34:00.420 boys. We taught them that. This person has three sons. God help them. I mean, really, God help them

00:34:08.320 because she's not going to. You know, my daughter, my now three-year-old daughter had her birthday a month

00:34:15.960 ago. And on her birthday, I did what all adults do when little kids have birthdays. You know,

00:34:23.640 you quiz them on their own age. How old are you turning today? And I asked her this a couple of

00:34:28.400 times. And variously throughout the day, she was turning 20. She was turning 100. She was turning one.

00:34:36.900 She was turning seven. Every time you ask her, you get a different answer, you know.

00:34:40.860 Um, and so when she declares, they ask her, how old are you turning? 20. Is that her figuring out

00:34:50.120 her place in the world? That's, that's, that's statement she's making about herself. That's her.

00:34:54.880 That's, I asked her about herself, uh, her own identity. She says she was 20 years old. I guess

00:34:59.640 she's 20 years old. Time to move out, move out of the house, get a job, right? No. When kids make 1.00

00:35:06.020 declarations about themselves at, at this age, at this young age, whether it's they're talking about

00:35:11.700 their age, talking about their sex, uh, talking about really anything about themselves, when they

00:35:17.640 make declarations, there, there, there are a couple of things happening here. One of them is that they're

00:35:24.340 very often just repeating what they've already, what they've been told. Okay. And I may not repeat

00:35:29.320 it perfectly because we did tell my daughter that she's turning three and she, it's just, she just

00:35:32.760 couldn't quite grasp it. But, um, very often if you, if you tell your kids something about

00:35:38.060 themselves, if you, if you affirm a certain idea, then they'll just like go around repeating

00:35:42.700 it. So there's, there's repetition, you know, there's the regurgitation of what they've been

00:35:50.100 told. There's also just mindless kid babble. Anyone who's been around young kids knows this

00:35:59.300 or should know it that little kids, they simply babble. They, they walk around saying words and

00:36:07.100 the words don't, they don't even, don't make any sense. Um, making declarations that have no

00:36:14.400 reflection, don't reflect reality whatsoever. They're just saying things. You know, think about

00:36:19.360 a kid is that the child has no, has no capacity for an internal monologue. And, uh, there are some

00:36:25.560 people who grow up and they still never develop. And these people are the bane of my existence.

00:36:29.940 They have no capacity to think inside their own heads. So everything that pops in the head,

00:36:34.360 they just say, and for an adult, you know, I could say, well, I would expect you to have developed

00:36:39.040 some capacity to keep your mouth shut at this point, but for a kid, that's just how it goes.

00:36:43.340 So there's a lot of babbling going on, but then you know what else they're doing?

00:36:49.720 There's the babbling, there's the regurgitation of, of information they've been told.

00:36:52.960 So, and there's also, oftentimes they can, they can say something about themselves

00:36:56.440 and it's really a question. It's like, they don't know if this is true. They're just sort of

00:37:02.480 saying it and they're, and they're looking to get the reaction from the adult to tell them,

00:37:06.120 yes, that's true or no, it isn't. That's why going back to my daughter and her age,

00:37:12.340 when I asked her how old she's turning, she didn't really say it like, it was more like a question.

00:37:16.300 20? Sure, exactly. So she's just throwing something out. She's throwing a word 1.00

00:37:22.920 out there and a number and she's looking for the reaction from me so I can tell her whether

00:37:28.100 that's true or not, because I know more about who my three-year-old daughter is than she does.

00:37:34.820 I know a lot more about who she is than she does. I understand a lot more about the world

00:37:40.900 and I understand a lot more about her. And so she is coming to me and to my wife

00:37:46.420 to figure out not just what's going on in the world, but also what's going on with her,

00:37:50.300 who she is. And so that explains a young boy who says, I'm a girl. Either he's babbling

00:37:59.980 incoherently or he's repeating what he's been told by his abusive parent or he's asking a question.

00:38:05.840 He's not sure. It's a question. You know, you could put an M.I. in front of it. M.I.

00:38:13.160 I'm a girl. M.I. And it's up to us as adults with our, what is supposed to be, superior grasp

00:38:19.940 on reality to guide them in the right direction, to answer the question based on what we understand

00:38:27.580 about reality. But most children or not, or many children these days don't get that.

00:38:32.620 All right, this is from WPDE.com. A teenager in New Hampshire has become the first transgender

00:38:39.060 contestant to win a local Miss America organization beauty pageant. Brian Gwynn,

00:38:45.720 didn't even change his name. He's still Brian, 19, won Sunday night's pageant to become Miss

00:38:51.500 Greater Dairy 2023, which awards the winner a crown, a title, and a scholarship. I think we have the

00:38:59.160 footage of this, uh, of this young man winning the beauty pageant. Yeah, we do. Uh, let's,

00:39:06.200 let's watch that.

00:39:09.540 Can we skip to the good part?

00:39:11.400 So as you can see, that's, uh, you know, that's the offensive lineman with the Detroit Lions

00:39:35.180 that just won the, um, the Miss America pageant there. It's like, this is a, an obese man was

00:39:41.780 awarded the beauty pageant winner. Um, Gwynn announced on Instagram, in the 100 year history

00:39:48.300 of Miss America, I have officially become the first transgender title holder within the Miss

00:39:53.240 America organization. No words can describe the feeling of having the opportunity to serve my

00:39:58.780 community and represent my community for the very first time at Miss New Hampshire. I am so honored to

00:40:04.040 be crowned your new Miss Greater Dairy 2023, and I am thrilled to show you all what I have up my

00:40:09.740 sleeves. Really don't want to see. This will be an amazing year. There's a few things going on here.

00:40:18.520 One of them, it goes back to something I talked about with Joe Rogan, uh, on Monday that he brought

00:40:23.140 up that, you know, this, this gender ideology stuff, it, it affords people. There's of course a lot

00:40:30.400 of narcissism involved in it. And that's, that's certainly the case here, but also force people

00:40:35.160 the opportunity to, to like, uh, earn something or have an achievement despite having achieved

00:40:44.640 nothing. Like you don't have to work for it. You don't have to do anything. You don't have to

00:40:47.400 accomplish anything. And suddenly you, you have achieved something. That's a lot of this. So this

00:40:53.960 guy has a, uh, the first in a hundred years, I'm a trailblazer. He didn't do anything. He put on a

00:41:00.980 dress. He just showed up at this, uh, at this beauty pageant and he won as soon as he walked in

00:41:07.740 the door because for the people deciding who the winner is, it was, he was, he presented to them

00:41:12.540 an opportunity to virtue signal and they took it. You know, this is a Northeast. This is New Hampshire.

00:41:18.540 They're going to, they're going to take that opportunity as soon as he presents it to them.

00:41:21.620 So he did nothing. And yet he gets to claim this title for himself. I'm the first in a hundred

00:41:28.240 years to what an achievement. So there's a lot of that, but also, also consider that,

00:41:35.640 you know, I know what the body positivity stuff that, uh, you know, we're, we're entering a world

00:41:41.760 where very often, you know, you know, an obese woman maybe could win a title like that. But I think 1.00

00:41:48.440 what's, what's more likely, I mean, look at all the other, you see him and then compare him to all

00:41:53.900 of the actual women on stage and you notice a difference. Well, there are, there's a number

00:41:59.540 of differences, but one of them is that all the other, he is morbidly obese and none of the other

00:42:07.600 women are, none of the actual women are, I should say. The point is that if he looked exactly like that, 0.98

00:42:14.400 but was actually a woman, not only would he not have won Miss America, he would not have been

00:42:21.540 allowed on the stage. And that's, it's kind of interesting too, because I've, uh, I've pointed

00:42:27.160 out before that when it comes to this body positivity stuff, the one thing missing are men usually,

00:42:33.140 because usually when you see, you know, when some, uh, brand puts out an advertisement celebrating

00:42:38.660 body positivity with a, with an obese model, you know, it's, it's, it's almost always women. 0.99

00:42:43.820 You very rarely see a guy with a big fat beer gut, you know, appearing in a, in a dove ad or

00:42:50.720 something like that, um, as a champion of body positivity, the plus size models, very rarely men.

00:42:59.320 So body positivity, celebrating obesity almost always applies to women, not men,

00:43:05.400 except in this case, if the man is pretending to be a woman.

00:43:12.860 That's how twisted things are. Okay. I also wanted to mention one other thing. Let's put this up. So

00:43:17.080 Eric Swalwell yesterday tweeted this, um, Eric farts smell, as I call him, because you know what? I,

00:43:24.940 I, I can come up with some, uh, some, some mature and clever nicknames like farts smell. Maybe 0.64

00:43:31.560 Donald Trump should take some hints from me. Uh, so he's, so Eric Swalwell is responding to a quote

00:43:38.180 from Senator Tim Scott and Senator Tim Scott says, we're putting parents back in charge of their kids

00:43:42.040 education. Swalwell responds, please tell me what I'm missing here. What are we doing? What are we

00:43:47.640 going to do next? Putting patients in charge of their own surgeries, clients in charge of their

00:43:51.900 own trials. When did we stop trusting experts? This is so stupid. You're right. Farts smell. That is,

00:43:58.680 it is, that is in fact, so stupid. In fact, I don't even know where to begin. Uh, we'll start 1.00

00:44:03.680 with this. First of all, public school teachers are not subject matter experts. Okay. Like almost

00:44:11.080 certainly the person you're, the, the, your child's seventh grade math teacher is not an expert

00:44:17.100 mathematician. They're not bringing actual scientists in to teach science. So they in fact are not experts

00:44:23.540 in the subject that they're teaching. Now you could say that, well, but they're experts in teaching.

00:44:30.140 Are they though? Well, I mean, generally speaking, and there are, there are some very good public

00:44:36.320 school teachers out there, certainly. But generally speaking, is there a lot of evidence

00:44:41.480 that all or even most public school teachers are experts in teaching? Do we see the evidence?

00:44:49.540 Where's the proofs in the pudding? So let's look at the pudding here. And what we find are

00:44:53.200 test scores declining, literacy declining, everything's declining. I mean, a bunch of kids

00:44:58.120 graduating who, uh, end up in these dumb guy on the street interviews being asked about, you know, 0.82

00:45:04.140 what, what, what century was the civil war fought in? And like, you know, they, they say the 12th 0.70

00:45:08.900 century or something like that. So that's what the public school is producing. There's just,

00:45:13.220 there's just not a lot of evidence that the people in charge of the public schools,

00:45:16.100 people doing the teaching are generally speaking experts. But then also, um, he says, oh, we're

00:45:24.540 going to put clients in charge of the, in charge of defending themselves at trial. Well, yeah. In fact,

00:45:31.340 you, you, you have the constitutional right to defend yourself at trial. You don't have to,

00:45:36.260 but you have the right to do it. Are patients going to be in charge of their surgeries?

00:45:41.460 In a sense, yes. You, you have to decide that you want the surgery and consent to it.

00:45:48.780 They can't force you to get it.

00:45:52.440 You, you, you have rights as a patient, don't you?

00:45:57.460 So as a defendant at trial, you have basic rights. As a patient, you have basic rights.

00:46:03.220 So this to me, this, this, these are analogies that I would use if I wanted to defend the rights

00:46:08.900 of parents to have a say over their child's education. So he's making exactly the opposite

00:46:14.720 point. And, uh, also keep in mind what he's, what he's, what he's responding to.

00:46:22.200 Like the claim from Tim Scott is not that, uh, Tim Scott is not saying let's abolish the public

00:46:26.640 school system. I'm saying that, but that's not what Tim Scott, Tim Scott's not the kind of

00:46:30.780 Republicans are going to say that. I don't think there's any Republican right now who will,

00:46:33.280 unfortunately. So what he's actually responding to is not let's tear down the public school system

00:46:37.700 and get rid of it as great as that would be in my opinion. It's rather just parents should have a

00:46:41.720 say. Like your, your kids are, are going into this building for six hours a day, five days a week,

00:46:46.500 nine months a year for 12, 13 years. You should have a say over what happens there. You should

00:46:50.300 have a role in that. And Swalwell saying, no, you should have no role at all. No role, no rights.

00:46:59.860 And to make his point, he cites examples where people do have a, a, a crucial role and they do have

00:47:07.220 rights in those examples. More brilliance from Eric Swalwell. Let's get to the comment section.

00:47:26.520 Phantom 04 says, I cannot express how infuriated I am by this whole student loan thing. I didn't go

00:47:31.680 to college. I worked my tail off to support my four-year-old son and I couldn't even take him

00:47:35.260 to an aquarium on my vacation for a day because I couldn't afford it. Thanks to the inflation of

00:47:39.440 Brandon and the Democrats. Yet these spoiled brats who waste more on soy lattes in a month and 1.00

00:47:44.400 people like me spend on anything frivolous in a year feel entitled to reach into my pocket to help

00:47:48.820 pay for their vacations or dining out. Screw them. And FJB and his corrupt party that spends our tax 1.00

00:47:55.240 dollars with complete and total disregard and gets rich off of their positions and their corruption.

00:48:00.380 Amen. Could not agree more. And this is the kind of righteous indignation. This is the kind of moral

00:48:07.060 outrage that we should have about these issues. And honestly, I don't see enough of it.

00:48:14.500 What we hear from, you know, the media and what we hear from the, the, the, the milk toast

00:48:22.240 squishes is, uh, it's too much outrage. People are too angry. Let's, let's turn down the, uh,

00:48:27.080 the dial a little bit. Let's turn down the volume. I could not disagree more. I think the exact opposite

00:48:32.260 is the case. There's not nearly enough outrage. Just about the student loan thing in that on its

00:48:39.420 own. You know, there should be an eruption of moral outrage over this because what they're,

00:48:46.060 what it happened here is morally outrageous. Stealing money from hardworking people,

00:48:52.520 not just to pay off someone else's financial obligations, but as we found out and as, as

00:48:58.760 surprises, nobody with, with two brain cells in their head, uh, that money isn't even being used

00:49:03.080 for that purpose, but it's being used so that these people can go out to eat and have vacations and the

00:49:07.340 rest of it. Um, Sean says, I think that blind man video or possibly a similar situation was discussed

00:49:14.980 by Anthony, Anthony Cumia and, uh, and Gavin McGinnis a while back. They made an accurate observation

00:49:20.720 that many, not all certainly, but many female officers are overly aggressive and combative in 1.00

00:49:25.220 these situations because they feel the need to overcompensate for perceived power imbalance.

00:49:28.860 Many feel they have to constantly prove their worth by being more aggressive than need be,

00:49:32.700 but that only ends up escalating situations that didn't require overall female officers tend to be 1.00

00:49:37.260 a liability to the force. Uh, well, they must not have been talking about this exact video if it was a

00:49:41.140 while back because this, you know, the thing we talked about in daily cancellation yesterday

00:49:44.360 just happened a few days ago, but I do think that, uh, it's not popular to say, of course,

00:49:51.020 no true thing is. I, I, I do think there's a lot to be said for that point of view, you know? Um,

00:49:59.120 and it's, it's the problem that you run into if you're a female police officer and you're out on 1.00

00:50:03.100 the job, like you're, you're dealing with a lot of people who you have no physical control over.

00:50:07.820 And if they decide that they want to resist you or they want to attack you, um, you're, you're not

00:50:12.540 going to have any way to do that aside from like, you know, resorting to, you know, deadly force

00:50:17.360 basically. Um, but there is, there is a physical power imbalance and that's the situation when you

00:50:24.100 have a female police officer, almost every suspect they deal with will be able to easily overpower 0.99

00:50:34.000 them. And you know, that going in and then you might have a problem of overcompensation, which

00:50:41.120 I do think it seems like that's what happened here. And then there are other cases. I, there

00:50:45.100 was a case and I was looking for it. Uh, there's a video of it. I was looking for it. I couldn't

00:50:48.620 find it, but there was a case recently of an officer's female officer got in trouble because 0.61

00:50:53.680 she was on the scene when there was a fight. There was a guy getting assaulted and she just

00:50:58.620 was kind of like standing there and didn't do anything about it. Uh, so it's the opposite

00:51:02.000 of overcompensating that case. She didn't do anything, but also like, first of all, what can

00:51:07.820 she do aside from using deadly force? And, but if she did that, then everybody would complain 1.00

00:51:12.180 that this was police brutality. So it's, it's like a being thrust into these no win situations

00:51:19.180 and police officers are very often in no win situations. But I think if you're a female 1.00

00:51:24.000 police officer, uh, there, there are many more no win situations. I mean, almost every situation

00:51:28.560 is a no win situation. All right. Let's see. This guy is the limit says to put it simply

00:51:34.900 when deciding which of your personal choices and freedoms are correct. A helpful, helpful,

00:51:39.360 a helpful metric to use is if everybody made this choice, would civilization flourish or

00:51:45.200 would it decay? It's a decent response to Rogan's libertarian position on marriage. Yes, people

00:51:49.580 have the choice to not have children and to travel and read books as he put it. But what

00:51:53.700 if everybody did that? Goodbye, future generations. I think that's a good way to put it. It's a good

00:51:58.240 argument. Of course, there's, there are always the, the responses, cheap responses like, well,

00:52:02.300 uh, if everybody was an engineer, you know, then, then society would collapse. Uh, if everybody

00:52:08.060 was a firefighter, society would collapse because we need people to do other things aside from those

00:52:12.480 jobs. Um, but you mean it on a more fundamental level like that you're talking about, right? Not

00:52:19.460 like a job, but just how a lifestyle, how you're living your life. And, um, and look, if, if this is one

00:52:28.480 thing I tried to communicate to Joe Rogan, but if you, if we decide as society that marriage is

00:52:34.780 meaningless and if everybody adopts that viewpoint as increasingly, that's the direction we're heading

00:52:39.600 in, then you have, you're correct. The collapse of civilization, which I would consider a negative

00:52:45.460 personally. Recessions aren't recessions. Inflation is good. Men are women. If you're more confused than

00:52:50.540 usual lately, it's by design. The left thinks they have a monopoly on the definition of words and they

00:52:54.580 can silence you, but they can't. And if you simply push back, the house of cards collapses. Just look

00:52:59.560 at what is a woman, my film, uh, which caused a rift in the space-time continuum just because I asked

00:53:04.900 a question. The month that came out, the Daily Wire had more members sign up than at any other time

00:53:08.580 in its history. More than 5,000 audio, uh, audience ratings of Rotten Tomatoes later, and the film still

00:53:14.340 has people talking, which is great because the more we bring these conversations out into the open

00:53:18.000 and the more we confront the madness, the sooner it will hopefully end. If you haven't seen it yet,

00:53:22.380 go to dailywire.com slash walsh to become a member and watch the film today. Now let's get to our

00:53:27.480 daily cancellation. Today for our daily cancellation, we head to the future site of the Obama 0.55

00:53:36.320 Presidential Center in Chicago. The center began construction in 2021 and is supposed to open in

00:53:41.360 2026. In fact, um, it was supposed to begin construction years before 2021, but various delays

00:53:47.040 got in the way. Uh, now that it's finally started, it will take half a decade to complete. Now keep in mind,

00:53:52.360 the Empire State Building was constructed in one year, nearly a century ago. But these days,

00:53:58.020 things that, uh, we should be able to do in half the time, um, that, you know, that it would have

00:54:03.060 taken a hundred years ago instead take us five or ten times as long. For another example of this

00:54:07.760 phenomenon, of course, we could just see vote counting procedures as another example. As for

00:54:12.160 construction, we should note that not only does it take longer to build stuff, but that the stuff

00:54:17.420 we're building is of a much lower quality compared to what we built a hundred years ago. So a hundred

00:54:22.800 years ago, they would build it faster and better than we do now. Um, the bad news then is that it

00:54:29.320 takes us forever to build. But the good news is that once it's built, it will be cheap and flimsy

00:54:34.580 and may not even last as long as it took to get the permits to construct it. And it will also be ugly.

00:54:40.120 Almost everything we build is hideously ugly. The Obama Presidential Center will certainly be no

00:54:44.620 exception. As you can see here, we put the, uh, the picture up on the screen. It is a, it's a

00:54:48.960 monstrosity. It is a pockmarked, misshapen, asymmetrical hunk of building material plopped

00:54:55.860 right into the middle of the city. It looks like something that a group of third graders could build

00:54:59.620 in an afternoon. Only it will take them five years to create this gargantuan eyesore. 0.99

00:55:04.440 It's no surprise that Obama's center would be, uh, so horrifically ugly and ridiculous. 1.00

00:55:10.580 He is a leftist after all, and leftism celebrates ugliness. It chooses ugly over beautiful intentionally 1.00

00:55:17.320 on principle. In this case, Obama has chosen a design that looks something like a colossal

00:55:22.800 wifi modem after it's been kicked down a flight of stairs or something. And why will this abomination

00:55:28.820 take so long to construct? Why does everything take so long to construct? Well, for the same reason

00:55:33.520 that everything is, everything else is inefficient these days. Bureaucracy, lawsuits, incompetence,

00:55:38.760 red tape, et cetera. Almost anything, uh, can slow the work down or bring it to a grinding halt.

00:55:45.020 Anything, including a rope. This is from the New York Post. Here's the latest. Construction at the

00:55:50.200 Obama Presidential Center in Chicago has been temporarily halted after a noose was discovered

00:55:54.440 at the worksite Thursday morning. Lakeside Alliance, the construction company building the $830

00:55:59.440 million center, said it immediately notified at police after the noose was reported on the

00:56:03.260 premises, according, uh, located in Jackson Park. The company told the Post in a statement that it

00:56:07.540 suspended all operations on site in order to provide its employees with an additional series of

00:56:11.520 anti-bias training, citing a zero tolerance policy for any form of bias or hate on a worksite.

00:56:18.620 The company additionally said it was offering a $100,000 reward to find the culprit. Quote,

00:56:23.180 we are horrified that this would occur on our site, and we are offering a $100,000 reward to help

00:56:27.620 find the individual or individuals responsible for this shameful act. Lakeside Alliance remains

00:56:31.840 committed to providing a work environment where everyone can feel safe, be their best self,

00:56:35.940 and is treated with dignity and respect, according to the statement. It will not surprise you to learn

00:56:40.460 that, um, there is no picture of the noose. We haven't seen a picture of it. Hate crime nooses are a bit

00:56:46.820 like Bigfoot. Lots of people see them, but we never seem to get a good picture of one, which makes sense,

00:56:52.880 of course. It's not like everyone carries a camera around in their pockets these days. Be that as it may,

00:56:57.620 there were many denunciations of the unseen noose. The Post continues,

00:57:01.840 quote, the Obama, the Obama Foundation denounced the incident as a shameless act of cowardice and

00:57:06.740 hate designed to get attention and divide us. Our priority is protecting the health and safety of

00:57:11.600 our workforce. The Foundation said in a statement to the Post, we have notified authorities who are

00:57:15.080 investigating the incident. Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker also condemned the act. Hate has no place

00:57:20.280 in Illinois, he said. The noose is more than a symbol of racism. It is a heart-stopping reminder of the

00:57:25.720 violence and terror inflicted on black Americans for centuries. Now, we should note that nooses are

00:57:31.860 an epidemic on construction sites. I don't know if you knew this. Recently, eight nooses were found on

00:57:36.300 an Amazon construction site that kept shutting down the building on the site because they kept

00:57:41.040 finding all these nooses. A noose was also found at the site of a new Facebook building. In fact,

00:57:46.100 as the Washington Post reported last year, dozens of nooses have shown up on construction sites all over

00:57:50.640 the country. They reported at the time, quote, black workers who make up only 6% of the sector

00:57:56.220 have found many of the 55 nooses reported at 40 work sites since 2015. Indeed, the noose problem is

00:58:03.980 so pervasive that, as the Washington Post reports, some of the nooses are invisible. Quote, the Reverend

00:58:11.340 Larry Bullock, president and chief executive of the U.S. Minority Contractors Association, said he spends his

00:58:16.820 days worrying about invisible nooses in the construction industry. Bullock, who is black, 0.94

00:58:21.620 says too many companies circumvent diversity and inclusion requirements by either skirting statutes

00:58:26.940 or budgeting for fines for failing to meet them. He also lists the lack of expertise, lack of capital,

00:58:32.620 and struggles with labor management relations as some of the greatest obstacles for minority-owned

00:58:36.900 firms in construction. The migration of apprentice programs outside of urban areas has dampened diversity

00:58:42.440 efforts, he said, as has the elimination of school curriculums that gave black youths an earlier

00:58:47.080 introduction into the trades. All this makes it difficult to hire youth that look like us, he said.

00:58:52.300 It's a vicious, vicious cycle of trying to address the systemic racism in construction.

00:58:58.740 This man is seeing invisible nooses everywhere. It is surely a sign of systemic racism, or else it's a symptom

00:59:03.820 of his own mental illness. I don't know. Now, let me make a few points here and state the obvious. 0.98

00:59:10.880 First of all, there are two possible explanations for why people keep finding ropes on construction

00:59:18.740 sites. One is that the construction industry, one of the most racially diverse industries in the

00:59:23.760 country, with at least a third of all workers being Hispanic, is also infested somehow with white 0.99

00:59:28.560 supremacists, white supremacists who sign up to work with racial minorities all day. That's one possible

00:59:34.480 reason why there are ropes on construction sites. The other possible reason why there are ropes on

00:59:38.680 construction sites is that a construction site is a construction site. Perhaps you find ropes there

00:59:45.980 for the same reason you find hammers and nails and lumber. A rope is a tool used in construction.

00:59:53.260 Often these ropes are tied into knots that might look something like a noose. It's very common. You take

00:59:59.500 ropes and you tie them into knots so you can do things with them. You can make pulleys and you can

01:00:04.160 carry things. You can do things with them. That's very common. Indeed, walk through any construction

01:00:10.160 site and you are guaranteed to stumble across all manner of ropes, cords, cables, which will be tied

01:00:16.280 into various sorts of knots and configurations. If you're going to immediately assume that a rope on

01:00:21.840 a construction site is meant to send a racist message, you may as well immediately assume that a

01:00:26.080 bucket of black paint is intended to be used for blackface or something. You have jumped to the most 1.00

01:00:31.800 extreme and bizarre conclusion and in the process you have leapt right over simpler and more banal and

01:00:38.980 more obvious and more innocent ones. Second point, it's true that not every alleged noose necessarily

01:00:47.220 has an innocent explanation. Some of them indeed could be put there intentionally and for nefarious

01:00:53.420 purposes. That's possible. But if they were, the most logical assumption based on recent historical

01:01:00.160 precedent is that they're put there as a hoax. Like if they're put there intentionally for nefarious

01:01:05.100 purposes, it's almost certainly a hoax because it always is. Far be it for me to suggest a race 0.96

01:01:11.960 hoax in Chicago, certainly not a place known for such things. But given that nearly every noose story,

01:01:17.740 I mean nearly every single one either turns out to be an innocuous rope misinterpreted or an

01:01:22.720 intentional hoax, what else are we supposed to think? Of course, the left exists in an alternate

01:01:27.980 reality, which is why neither the media nor the Obama Foundation nor the governor's office are

01:01:33.120 even taking into consideration the possibility that the noose is innocuous or a hoax. Never mind

01:01:39.260 how these stories play out nearly 100% of the time. The boy cried wolf a thousand times and was lying

01:01:45.000 a thousand times. But each time with each new cry, they assume that it must be real and don't even take

01:01:51.420 into consideration the possibility that it isn't. I would call it insanity, except that it's all

01:01:57.640 intentional. They are not being deceived. They are rather, of course, a part of the deception.

01:02:06.660 And that's why everyone involved in this story, including the Obama Center itself,

01:02:12.300 actually, for being so ugly, everyone and everything is canceled. And that'll do it for

01:02:18.120 this portion of the show as we move over to the members block. Hope to see you there. If not,

01:02:21.980 talk to you on Monday. Godspeed.
