Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a young woman attacks her racist Trump-supporting dad during
00:00:04.840
the eulogy at his funeral. Also, speaking of Trump, he officially announced his presidential
00:00:08.700
campaign yesterday. Meanwhile, DeSantis finally responded to Trump's criticisms of him. We'll
00:00:13.080
review all of that. Plus, a teacher is fired for confessing his racism to his class. But isn't that
00:00:18.240
what the woke crowd wants white people to do? And Ukrainian President Zelensky tries to hoax the
00:00:22.840
United States into a world war. Are we done worshiping this guy yet? All of that and more

00:01:33.000
Well, Donald Trump announced his presidency last night, as you've probably heard. And I thought I'd
00:01:37.300
begin the show with his address. And we will still talk about it, of course. But there was another
00:01:41.420
speech yesterday, one with far less significant political implications, but which reflects the
00:01:47.080
state of our society in a way that few speeches ever have or could, and needless to say, not in a
00:01:54.560
good way. So an as-yet-unnamed woman and a self-professed Black supremacist, quote-unquote,
00:02:01.040
recently posted a video to TikTok of, as she says, the eulogy that she gave her father at his funeral.
00:02:07.540
The eulogy went viral on TikTok before making its way over to Twitter on Tuesday and then out into the
00:02:12.300
mainstream media outlets who are reporting on it now, which is how the pipeline usually works.
00:02:15.560
Now, her father apparently died of liver cancer, which is something that I only know because
00:02:19.560
she also posted TikToks joking about her father's cancer. How and why would you make jokes about
00:02:27.420
your own father's terminal cancer? What sort of person would do such a thing? Well, this sort of
00:02:32.460
person, actually. But dad, please know that while I am grateful and highly aware of all that you've
00:02:38.140
given this family, I still don't miss you. When you died, I felt like there was a hole. I missed
00:02:43.440
something, but it wasn't you. It was the idea of what you could become. I missed being able
00:02:48.940
to hope and wish that one day you turn a corner and see the world from my perspective. I missed
00:02:52.740
the idea that one day you might help me fight for the things that matter. I missed my fantasy
00:02:57.000
of you. Because when you died, it solidified the fact that you'll never be what you could
00:03:01.740
have been, but only what you are. And what you are is a racist, misogynistic, xenophobic,
00:03:07.340
Trump-loving, cis-straight, white man. That is all you will ever be to me. And dad, before
00:03:12.360
you tell me to respect the dead, please remember that you disrespected and disregarded the lives
00:03:15.780
and deaths of entire communities and people with your ideology. You told me to never back
00:03:19.700
down, so I won't. You know for a fact that even against you, I'm not afraid to share my
00:03:23.080
peace. You are everything I aspire not to be, and I refuse to stand up here and sing the
00:03:27.900
praises of a man who is the paradigm of white supremacy. So I'll take your racist mindset,
00:03:32.020
I'll take your money, and I'll take your advice. And I swear to God I will make this world
00:03:35.700
a better place, not at all because of you, but in exact opposition to you. Thank you.
00:03:48.180
I'll take your money, she says. And I bet she will. Now, it's hard to know who to despise
00:03:52.860
more, the woman spitting on her own father's grave, or the people in the audience applauding
00:03:57.940
it. I suppose we need not choose one or the other. Now, we should acknowledge from the outset
00:04:03.000
that not every person who dies necessarily deserves to be mourned. You don't become a
00:04:08.340
good person just because you happen to die. Some of us have been to funerals where the
00:04:13.440
eulogies are conspicuously brief because there isn't much good to say about the deceased.
00:04:18.740
And that's just the reality. I mean, if you don't live as a good person, then people are
00:04:23.300
not required to pretend otherwise after you die. And if you, let's say, abused or neglected
00:04:28.600
your children, then they are under no obligation to sing your praises upon your death. Yet we can
00:04:34.620
reasonably assume that such was not the case in this particular instance. She doesn't indict him
00:04:39.920
for being abusive or neglectful. Quite the opposite. She actually acknowledges that he loved and served
00:04:44.280
his family. Rather, her charge against her father is that he was a white, straight, cisgender
00:04:50.000
Trump supporter. She is half his race, but it's the half she hates. And most of all, as she makes
00:04:57.160
clear, she hates him for not agreeing with her. In fact, her love for him was predicated on her hope
00:05:03.500
and her assumption that eventually he would think exactly as she thinks. Her love was conditional,
00:05:09.860
which is to say that the love never existed at all. And the condition is that those she loves
00:05:14.680
must be perfect mirror reflections of her own viewpoints. But death tragically interceded before
00:05:21.400
her father could realize that she was right about everything. And for that, she hates him and can
00:05:26.920
never forgive him. Now, if this incident had occurred in a vacuum, you know, if it was entirely anomalous,
00:05:34.760
then there might not be much worth saying about it. This woman would simply be an ungrateful brat with a
00:05:40.240
wicked, evil heart who will not even have the honor of being insulted at her funeral,
00:05:44.680
because she'll die alone and forgotten, and there'll be no one there to insult her in the first
00:05:48.580
place. That is what we might say, and leave it at that, if this was a freak occurrence, a total
00:05:53.200
departure from the norm. But it's not. I mean, sure, yeah, it's not every day that we see someone recite
00:06:00.260
demeaning slam poetry about their own father at his funeral, but this is still fully in line with
00:06:08.060
the spirit of the age. In fact, there's perhaps no better manifestation of the spirit of the age
00:06:15.060
than a biracial woman lecturing her white dad at his funeral. This is literally what the left wants.
00:06:24.300
It's not an accident. It is rather the direct result of the cultural revolution that has long
00:06:29.800
since been completed and which we are now on the other side of. Let us count the ways.
00:06:34.800
So there are three ideas or attitudes that our culture seeks to instill in everyone, but especially
00:06:42.780
in the young. And all three are manifested in that video. First, of course, there's narcissism.
00:06:48.860
Right? Everything's about you. And whatever's not about you should be made to be about you.
00:06:55.300
The first thing you should think when you encounter any situation is, how can I put myself at the center
00:07:00.960
of it? And if you encounter any resistance in this effort to put yourself at the center,
00:07:06.020
then you're being oppressed. Indeed, anyone who lives a life or who does anything or says anything
00:07:11.580
or thinks anything that departs from your preferences has persecuted you. For this woman,
00:07:17.620
her father's funeral is about her because his death is about her because his life was about her.
00:07:23.600
It was his job to think and behave as she demanded by failing to do so, by failing to succumb
00:07:29.060
to the force of her gravity and revolve around her as she insists, he was guilty of an unthinkable
00:07:34.480
crime. Right? If she is not the center, then she is being erased. Either she is the star of every
00:07:44.320
film or else she doesn't exist. There is no middle ground. This is the lesson she learned from the
00:07:51.040
culture, from the school system, the media, from every institution, loud and clear. Second, there is
00:07:57.900
dehumanization. Those who disagree with you, who have opinions that are not your own and values you
00:08:04.800
object to are not simply wrong. They are subhuman. You shouldn't merely disagree with them. You should
00:08:10.560
despise them. They're not worthy of respect or even life itself. This is a message that I hear every time
00:08:15.780
I visit my inbox. I'm informed that I'm a racist, xenophobic, transphobic, etc. And therefore,
00:08:22.040
I should die and my family should die. And whenever I do die, I am told there will be celebration in the
00:08:27.820
streets. I don't doubt it either. See, we make a mistake when we assume that all of this kind of
00:08:33.360
talk is just sort of meaningless internet trolling. And it might be trolling, but it also reflects what
00:08:40.660
is actually in the hearts of millions of people. Like when you're online and you say your opinion and
00:08:47.000
you've got three dozen people telling you to kill yourself for your opinion, it's not, well, it's not
00:08:52.980
real. That's not, that's not the real world. No, it's, it's real. I mean, you're in the world and
00:08:57.400
these are actual people saying that to you because that is indeed how they feel about you and your
00:09:03.000
opinion. They have been conditioned to think this way. Again, we kid ourselves if we tell ourselves
00:09:10.080
anything but that. If you have views that, that oppose their views, then you are automatically a
00:09:16.600
bigot. And if you are a bigot, then you are an inferior life form. You're a cockroach, a parasite.
00:09:23.360
She applies this logic even to her own father, which is no surprise given the third point.
00:09:29.080
The third is that the family is an oppressive patriarchal conspiracy and your parents and all
00:09:36.500
of your ancestors going back through the generations are ignorant backwards, Cro-Magnon cave dwellers.
00:09:43.080
The left's goal as always is to break apart, not just the nuclear family in the abstract as a,
00:09:49.240
as a sort of concept, but to dismantle your actual family. It's not the family that is,
00:09:56.840
that is being threatened. I mean, it is the, the family on a broad societal level,
00:10:01.680
but what you have to understand, it's also your family, your actual family. They want to pull your
00:10:08.120
children away from you, sever the ties that bind you together. They would like for us all to be
00:10:15.880
eulogized by our children in this way. That's what the constant campaign of brainwashing is working
00:10:21.420
towards. And, and where it leads ultimately is to misery, of course, for everybody involved.
00:10:27.920
Because whatever else you might say about this young woman, and you could say quite a lot about
00:10:32.400
her, much of it not fit to air. But one thing you cannot say is that she's happy. This is a wretched,
00:10:38.920
miserable person trained to reject everything that might threaten to imbue her life with meaning and
00:10:44.380
joy. Because that's the thing when you, when you want to be the center of the universe and when you
00:10:51.160
hate everyone who disagrees with you, and when you hate your own family and you hate your own bloodline,
00:10:58.540
that's just another way of saying that you hate yourself. You hate your own existence.
00:11:03.200
You hate existence itself. Because you wouldn't exist without any of that. This is the nature of
00:11:11.340
the world. There is in fact only one universe and you're not at the center of it. This is the only
00:11:17.060
universe we have. And so if you can't accept that, then you hate existence for what it is.
00:11:24.600
And that's why we must protect our children from this madness. So that we don't have them dancing
00:11:33.340
on our graves once we have passed on. And so that they can live a better life
00:11:38.700
than the one that our culture wants to give them. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:11:44.360
With the rollout of the student loan forgiveness plan, scammers are seizing the opportunity. They're
00:11:54.620
using phishing scams in the form of email, texts, and phone calls asking you to provide personal
00:11:59.200
information, then using that information to steal your money and your identity. That's why it's so
00:12:03.800
important to understand how cybercrime and identity theft are affecting our lives every day. Your personal
00:12:07.680
information gets exposed so often that it's dangerously easy for cybercriminals to steal your
00:12:12.300
identity. You can protect, though, your identity by using LifeLock by Norton. LifeLock detects and
00:12:17.900
alerts you to potential identity threats you may not spot on your own, like loans taken out in your
00:12:22.040
name or crimes committed by thieves pretending to be you. If you do become a victim of identity theft,
00:12:26.680
well, then the good news is there's a dedicated U.S.-based restoration specialist who will work with you
00:12:31.540

00:12:49.580
Here's one headline I just want to read to you right from the top. This is from Media Matters.
00:12:53.000
It says, Daily Wire host calls the U.S. soccer team treasonous for using rainbow colors in one of
00:12:58.400
their crests at the World Cup. Yes, I did. Guilty as charged. This is not one of those times when
00:13:04.160
they're taking me out of context. I did say that. And I said also they should be barred from reentry
00:13:09.460
into the country because they replaced their crest with a rainbow flag. And I'm not joking at all.
00:13:15.140
If you replace the American flag with a pride flag and then you seek to represent the United States
00:13:19.880
that way abroad, then you should have your citizenship revoked. How about this? Because
00:13:26.700
I'm a merciful person. So I'm not saying that they have citizenship revoked and then they're going to be
00:13:31.140
like nomadic wanderers with no country to call home. I mean, I'd be fine with that.
00:13:37.080
But how about this? You automatically become a Canadian. If you go overseas as an American
00:13:41.340
and you're flying the pride flag rather than the American flag, you lose your American citizenship,
00:13:46.080
but automatically you're Canadian. That's just, it's a legal thing. And now you become Canadian.
00:13:50.300
They'll take you, but we don't want you. So I just want to clarify that. Okay. So Trump
00:13:57.460
announced his presidential run yesterday, as was widely expected. It's an interesting strategy.
00:14:06.520
I'm not, I'm not aware of, and I'm not saying this has never happened before in history,
00:14:12.100
but certainly in recent history, I'm not aware of anyone who's announced the presidential campaign
00:14:18.380
this early. I mean, we're two years out from the general election. We're still like a year out
00:14:22.240
from when the primaries would even start. And it's, it's, it's an interesting strategy.
00:14:29.380
Now you could see why he did it. You know, one, one of the, there's a few strategies,
00:14:34.840
a few, a few reasons to do this. One is to change the subject from the midterms and, you know,
00:14:40.780
the media talking about what a failure it was for Republicans and everything else.
00:14:43.220
So you're changing the subject. You're also, you're putting yourself, if you, Trump putting
00:14:48.100
himself at the, at the center of the conversation, maybe sucking up some of the oxygen to dissuade
00:14:53.560
other Republicans from jumping into the race, because, you know, by the time somebody like
00:14:58.560
DeSantis, for example, would even think about jumping in, that's going to be months from now.
00:15:02.360
And Trump's campaign will be in full swing and will have been in full swing for months at that
00:15:07.620
point. Would that dissuade DeSantis or somebody else from jumping in? I don't know.
00:15:12.000
Um, the disadvantage, what you're going to run up against is that now you have to maintain the
00:15:19.120
momentum. You know, politics is all about timing. It's all about momentum. Elections are all about
00:15:25.520
momentum. Um, it doesn't, you know, once you get to the election, it doesn't even mad. It doesn't
00:15:30.000
matter where you were in the polls even a month ago. What matters is, and what people were saying
00:15:35.260
about you a month ago, how they felt about it. It's what all that matters is right now. That's,
00:15:38.720
that's all that matters. Now you want to have built up a ground game and everything before that
00:15:44.740
point. But what matters, especially these days, when everyone has the memory of a fruit fly,
00:15:51.840
uh, what matters is the moment. And so by the time we get to even the primaries, uh, next year,
00:16:00.160
it's, this is all going to be a distant past. No one will even remember it.
00:16:06.440
So every political campaign is running up against that. Um, it's a challenge that everyone, that,
00:16:11.580
that anyone running for office deals with the fact that no one can pay attention to anything for more
00:16:16.180
than five seconds that can work to your advantage. Sometimes you're going through a scandal or
00:16:19.660
something like that. But, uh, generally I think it's a disadvantage, especially if you want to build a
00:16:24.440
coherent campaign with a long-term strategy. Well, what, how will that work on balance for Trump?
00:16:34.840
Um, you've got, can you maintain the momentum or can you succeed in stopping other people from
00:16:40.840
jumping in when they do jump in? Does it help them or hurt them that you've already been campaigning
00:16:44.760
for months before that? I don't know. We'll find out. We'll go through a couple of the clips here from
00:16:49.160
a Trump speech and it was a good speech. I thought, you know, I I've, I've, uh, always said that
00:16:55.760
there's like speech Trump and then there's rally Trump. And this was speech Trump because rally it's
00:17:04.120
kind of off the cuff. It's off the top of the head. Um, and he's just kind of rolling with it.
00:17:09.480
And then there's the speech where he delivers it. It's mostly written down and he's delivering a speech
00:17:14.060
that's, um, that has been written. Um, I think the more that he, that he does, the more that he
00:17:21.580
sticks with the speech Trump version, the better it is for him, I think, because it stays on message.
00:17:28.700
And usually his message is really good, which is why I like for him to stay on message.
00:17:33.940
So we'll go through a couple of points that he raised. We'll start with this. He talks a little
00:17:39.020
bit about the issue of women's sports and, uh, and parental rights. Um, this is not an issue that
00:17:45.620
was a major part of his 2016, 2016 campaign. Then again, it was not something Republicans were
00:17:50.480
talking about in general in 2016, um, will become a bigger part of his campaign for 2024. We'll see,
00:17:56.040
but here's what he says. We will not let men as an example, participate in women's sports. Is that
00:18:03.060
okay? No, no, no men, no men. My people tell me, sir, that's politically incorrect to say. I said,
00:18:19.480
that's okay. I'll say it anyway, if you don't mind. We've had, we've had tremendous,
00:18:24.640
tremendous problems. And, and, you know, it's very unfair to women, just very, very unfair.
00:18:30.100
We will defend the rights of parents and we will defend the family as the center of American life.
00:18:41.600
But who would think standing up here 10 years ago, 15 years ago, that a politician,
00:18:48.800
and I don't like to think of myself as a politician, but I guess that's what I am.
00:18:53.560
I hate that thought, but that a politician would be up saying, we will defend
00:18:59.620
parental rights. Of course you're going to defend it. Who would think that we even have
00:19:03.080
to mention this? Who would think it even should be a subject to be talked about?
00:19:06.800
We have to defend parental rights. Can you believe this?
00:19:11.380
So I guess I should amend. I said, this is speech Trump, not rally Trump. It's,
00:19:14.600
it's actually kind of both because it seems like he's going off of a speech, but he's also
00:19:17.680
riffing off of a, based on what the speech says. I think that's a, that's a good,
00:19:23.880
Um, he also gets into, I thought this was interesting and this is, uh, this is one of
00:19:31.660
the, one of the things that's in the headlines after speech, but he talks about drugs, the,
00:19:36.540
the, the problem, the, the epidemic of drug overdoses and his solution that he's mentioned
00:19:42.540
before is we should execute drug dealers. Now this is something, I don't think there's any
00:19:47.940
other Republican on the national stage that is saying this or would say this to Trump's
00:19:54.420
credit. Let's listen to that. We're going to be asking everyone who sells drugs, gets
00:20:00.900
caught selling drugs to receive the death penalty for their heinous acts because it's the only
00:20:09.140
way we don't need any more blue ribbon committees. We don't need, I don't like to say this and
00:20:17.180
I don't even know if the American public is ready for it. And a lot of my people say,
00:20:21.540
please don't say that, sir. That's not nice. They kill 500 people each on average. And if
00:20:28.700
you don't do this in China, when I was with president, she, I said, president, do you have
00:20:34.060
a drug problem? No, no, no, no, we don't. He looked at me like I didn't know what I was
00:20:39.980
Now, one of the, one of the problems that Trump's going to run into is that you've got
00:20:45.260
the death penalty for drug dealers, which is one idea, which by the way, I support. Now,
00:20:51.420
I think obviously we could all agree that if somebody is like got a high school kid who's
00:20:57.280
selling a weed or something like that, no one's suggesting that we'd have the death penalty for
00:21:02.660
that. I, I assume what he's talking about are people who are bringing mass amounts of things
00:21:09.200
like fentanyl into the country. It is not at all unreasonable to discuss the death penalty
00:21:16.400
for people like that. Absolutely. I mean, you think about how many people they are killing. This
00:21:22.780
is pure poison that they are bringing into the country that they're, you know, selling on the
00:21:29.380
streets and killing tens of thousands of people every year. They're poisoning tens of thousands of
00:21:36.720
people every year. The death toll is catastrophic. It's astronomical.
00:21:46.340
So if we have this idea that, well, you can only give the death penalty for crimes where someone is
00:21:50.440
killed, which even that I don't actually agree with, because I think a death penalty for things
00:21:54.900
like rape and child molestation, even if nobody's killed in the process, would also be more than
00:22:00.120
reasonable. It would be, it's, it's what justice calls for. But when it comes to the fentanyl epidemic,
00:22:04.880
they are killing people. They're killing tens of thousands of people. And if you want to have any
00:22:10.500
hope of putting a stop to this, then these kinds of penalties have to be part of that strategy.
00:22:19.200
And I can accomplish it on their own, but it has to be part of the strategy.
00:22:23.280
The issue for Trump though, is that he's got, you know, death penalty for drug dealers,
00:22:27.440
which in my opinion, great. But then he also had the first step act, first step act when he was in,
00:22:34.860
in the white house, which released a bunch of drug dealers out into the public. You know,
00:22:39.360
he was working with Kim Kardashian to release prisoners from, from prison and out into the,
00:22:46.680
onto the streets. You can't really do both. So you got to decide which is it going to be like,
00:22:54.340
are you going to be the president who is calling for the execution of people who are selling poison
00:23:00.260
on the streets? Or are we going to be the president who releases them from prison? Seems to me it's
00:23:06.340
got to be one or the other. Before his speech, before Trump gave a speech earlier in the day,
00:23:13.420
Ron DeSantis, who had not responded publicly to, to Trump's criticisms of him,
00:23:18.900
was asked about it during a press conference. And, uh, here's what he says.
00:23:25.900
One of the things I've learned, like learned in this job is, um, uh, when you're do, when you're
00:23:31.260
leading, when you're getting, getting things done, yeah, you take incoming fire. That's just the nature
00:23:36.240
of it. Uh, I roll out of bed in the morning. I've got corporate media outlets that have a spasm,
00:23:41.340
just the fact that I'm getting up in the morning and it's constantly attacking. And this is just what's
00:23:46.620
happened. I don't think any governor got attacked more, particularly by corporate media than me over
00:23:52.580
my four year term. And yet I think what you, what you learn is all that's just noise. And really what
00:23:59.540
matters is, are you leading? Are you getting in front of issues? Uh, are you delivering results for
00:24:05.460
people? And are you standing up for folks? And if you do that, then none of that stuff matters. And,
00:24:11.220
and that's what we've done. We focused on results and leadership. And, uh, you know,
00:24:16.160
at the end of the day, uh, I would just, uh, tell people to go check out the scoreboard from last
00:24:21.120
Tuesday night. I think it's a good response. Uh, it's, it's the only response you can really give
00:24:27.840
because you can't get down into the mud with, with Donald Trump. You'll lose. I mean, he'll,
00:24:33.380
he'll beat you there. So, and this is the mistake is you, you go back to the, and we live in a
00:24:38.700
different world than we did back in the primaries in 2015. So making these kinds of analogies,
00:24:43.660
it only, it only takes you so far, but still, if you go back there and you see what happened
00:24:47.460
with most Republicans is that at first they tried to ignore Trump. Um, and then eventually
00:24:54.860
Trump just didn't give him an option anymore. And so then they switched courses dramatically.
00:25:00.980
I mean, Marco Rubio is classic example. This go from ignoring to switching dramatically and like
00:25:05.620
diving down into the mud with him and trying to out Trump Trump. And it just, it doesn't work.
00:25:10.260
You look ridiculous. You look, uh, inauthentic and you're not going to win in that fight.
00:25:16.700
So I think the only option for DeSantis at this point is what he just did there. I think it was
00:25:21.480
the right choice is just to try to kind of stay above the fray. And he was asked specifically about
00:25:26.260
Trump. But if you listen to that clip was another smart move. If you listen to the clip, you wouldn't
00:25:30.200
even know that that's what he was responding to because he doesn't even say Trump in the,
00:25:33.700
in the answer. It gives a broad general answer and then says, Oh, I'm focused on governing in
00:25:39.200
Florida. That's all I care about. I think that's what he has to do. Especially now when he's not,
00:25:45.520
when he hasn't even come close to announcing his candidacy for the president. Um, if he ever
00:25:52.720
does announce that now, can he maintain that if he does jump into the primaries and there's an actual
00:25:59.800
primary battle between these two, when they both have declared officially, can he maintain that
00:26:05.380
kind of answer the entire way through? I'm not sure. But for right now, it's, it's definitely the
00:26:10.740
best way. Uh, a little bit more politics. Mitch McConnell was asked to give his own autopsy of
00:26:18.060
the Republican party post midterms. And, uh, here's what he said.
00:26:23.640
One of the criticisms from Senator Scott and others who agree with him is that your decision
00:26:29.580
not to have an agenda to run on opened up Republican candidates to attacks that they
00:26:34.840
didn't really stand for anything. What is the response to the criticism that you are partially
00:26:39.440
responding to? Every one of our candidates knew what they were for, uh, expressed it quite clearly.
00:26:45.140
Uh, it's pretty obvious. And all of you have been writing about it. Uh, what happened? We
00:26:50.900
underperformed among independents and moderates because their impression of many of the people
00:26:57.140
in our party and leadership roles is that they're in chaos, negativity, uh, excessive, uh, attacks.
00:27:07.380
And it, it frightened, uh, independent and moderate Republican voters. And we saw that,
00:27:13.860
which is why you all recall, I never predicted a red wave. We never saw that in any of our polling
00:27:19.220
in the States that we were counting on, uh, to win. There wasn't a way we had national issue set
00:27:27.200
that was favorable, but as a result of our own perception, many of them had that we were
00:27:36.500
not dealing with issues in a responsible way. And we were spending too much time on negativity and,
00:27:46.500
uh, attacks and chaos. They were frightened. And so they pulled back.
00:27:54.460
They were frightened. Well, this is the great thing about the Republican establishment,
00:27:57.240
uh, that there are no surprises with them. You know, you know exactly what they're going to say.
00:28:01.600
Okay. That's either the great thing or the terrible thing you decide, but this was no surprise. We lost
00:28:06.660
because too negative, too extreme, too chaotic. He says we frightened the poor, helpless, hapless,
00:28:14.100
moderate voters. Now it is true that, and I've been saying this for the last week, if your message
00:28:20.520
is only negative, okay, if you're, if your only message is Joe Biden is bad, that's the negative
00:28:26.180
message, then it's not going to resonate. You're going to lose. And that was a problem for Republicans
00:28:30.980
in this election is that, um, as we've been discussing over the last week, what on the
00:28:36.900
national level, what was the Republican party's message to the voters? And the only one that
00:28:42.120
springs to mind, the only consistent message was Joe Biden is bad, which he is. And that is a case
00:28:47.460
you have to make, but then you also have to make a case for why you are, he's bad. Here's why I'm good.
00:28:52.120
Um, but I don't think that's Mitch McConnell's only point because the message from the establishment
00:28:59.780
has been clear as always, that we need to get away from the culture war issues, you know,
00:29:05.260
stop scaring the independents, stop being divisive. McConnell doesn't say that explicitly here because
00:29:10.060
I think he knows better than that, but he also doesn't have to. That's, that's, that's what he's
00:29:15.940
actually trying to convey. So when he says it was chaotic and negative, that's another way of saying
00:29:21.720
focused on the culture war, focused on issues that are controversial. Let's not talk about that. Let's
00:29:27.080
get back to, uh, whatever tax cuts, et cetera. Um, and we've heard this a lot. I mean, and it's not
00:29:33.960
just from Mitch McConnell. I've also heard this from conservatives who are not members of the GOP
00:29:39.400
establishment, especially when it comes to abortion. You know, there's this, um, consensus that seems to
00:29:47.360
be forming among a lot of people on the right, including people who I usually agree with that
00:29:54.960
there was too much focus on the pro-life message in the midterms. And that's part of the reason we lost,
00:30:01.080
which I think is just absolutely absurd. It now, yes, it's true. Democrats dominate with single
00:30:10.840
liberal women. And, uh, it stands to reason that a good portion of them were motivated in part by their
00:30:17.720
desire to be able to continue killing babies. Fine. But here's, here's the point. The problem is not
00:30:27.980
when Republicans are out there, uh, making the pro-life argument. I mean, the idea that, that,
00:30:35.100
that Republicans are too pro-life or are too open about it and talk about it too much
00:30:39.320
is, uh, to someone like myself who's been in the pro-life movement for years, it's, it's absurd.
00:30:45.140
If it wasn't so frustrating, you'd have to laugh at it. Really? The Republican party, that's their,
00:30:50.200
their issue is that they lean into abortion too much. It's been quite the opposite for decades now.
00:30:57.980
No, the problem is not that you're talking about abortion or you're making the pro-life argument.
00:31:08.800
It's, it's, it's, if there is an issue, it's that you're not making the argument successfully
00:31:14.040
or competently. Okay. So, right. It's, it's not enough to just bring it up. That's, uh, that's not
00:31:22.040
going to motivate voters. You can't, you can't get up there and simply declare, I'm pro-life.
00:31:27.560
Abortion is bad and leave it at that. If that's all you're doing, then yeah, that's not going to
00:31:33.960
be successful. And all you're doing is, uh, is lobbing up, you know, softballs for the other,
00:31:41.320
uh, for the other team to bat over the fence. Um, if that's all you're doing,
00:31:45.640
but you have to make the argument successfully, you have to explain why you're pro-life, why it
00:31:52.180
matters, which, which is really not a difficult thing to do, but you have to make the argument,
00:31:58.700
which many Republicans don't. Now we, the left can say all they want. Democrats can say,
00:32:05.540
oh, they're the right. They're out. Republicans are out of step with the American public when it
00:32:09.080
comes to abortion. Well, I think most of the American public, they don't know exactly how they
00:32:13.320
feel about it. So if you have any kind of fully formed view on abortion, then you're already
00:32:18.560
quote unquote out of step with the public. But one thing I do know that every poll shows this
00:32:24.520
is that most Americans, even if they're a little bit confused about the issue and they don't think
00:32:29.400
about it that much, and they don't think very clearly about it, uh, most Americans certainly
00:32:33.780
are not on board with murdering fully developed infants in the womb, like a second before they're
00:32:40.420
born. Most Americans are absolutely not on board with that because you don't have to think about
00:32:45.600
abortion very much to recognize that as, as a, as a base evil, you know, fully developed infants
00:32:55.180
and you're, you're murdering them. Of course that's disgusting. And most people see it that way,
00:33:01.980
but that's what the Democrat party supports. Every mainstream Democrat on the national stage,
00:33:08.480
every single one of them with, with maybe the, the, the, the most rarest of exceptions,
00:33:15.720
every single one of them supports abortion up to the moment of birth. And many of them will even
00:33:21.660
tell you that they support it after birth too. You should be able to communicate that. And if you
00:33:30.140
can't communicate that and, uh, back your opponent into a corner over his support for the, for
00:33:38.140
infanticide, then you shouldn't be running for office in the first place. You know, if you're an,
00:33:43.700
if a Republican candidate is in a debate with a Democrat and the, and the Republican allows the
00:33:50.120
whole conversation to revolve around the hard cases, the exceptions of the, to the rule, the 1% of
00:33:56.660
cases. All you ever want to do is talk about rape, incest, life of the mother cases. We're talking
00:34:00.600
about less than 1% of all cases. And if you as a Republican allow the Democrat to make that the
00:34:05.740
whole conversation, then that's your fault. You're incompetent. The issue is not with the pro-life cause
00:34:11.360
or with our argument on abortion. It's that you are incompetent because what you should be doing
00:34:17.400
is flipping it around on them and saying, okay, we talked about the 1% of cases. Let's talk about
00:34:22.780
the 99% where abortion is used as a form of birth control. How do you feel about that? How do you
00:34:28.660
feel about a fully developed infant one second before emerging from the birth canal? Does that
00:34:34.000
infant have the right to life or not? Yes or no? If you can't figure out how to flip the script like
00:34:39.100
that on your opponent, then again, just don't run for office. All right. I was thinking about doing
00:34:44.560
this for the daily cancellation today, but it would be a, be a bit redundant as our potential
00:34:48.760
cancellee has already canceled himself. And yet there is something to be learned from his
00:34:53.400
self-immolation. I think he fed himself into the wood chipper and he has provided us with an
00:34:58.440
important cautionary tale in the process. And, you know, and the moral of the story is don't jump
00:35:03.680
into a wood chipper really. If you needed that lesson, here it is literally or figuratively don't
00:35:07.820
jump into one. So CNN reports a middle school teacher in Pflugerville, Texas has been fired.
00:35:12.420
District officials said on Monday after video was posted to social media showing the white teacher
00:35:16.980
tell his students that his race is the superior one. Quote, last Friday, November 11th, the
00:35:22.940
Pflugerville ISD officials were made aware of an inappropriate conversation that a teacher,
00:35:27.200
a teacher at Bowles Middle School had with students during an advisory class. Pflugerville
00:35:32.680
Independent School District Superintendent Dr. Douglas Killian wrote in a statement,
00:35:37.520
as of Monday morning, November 14th, the teacher in question is no longer employed by Pflugerville ISD
00:35:41.560
and we are actively looking for a replacement. Videos of the conversation in question were posted
00:35:45.460
to social media last week. Now, from the way that the media is reporting on this incident,
00:35:53.500
you might imagine that the teacher went on a wild, unhinged, white supremacist rant,
00:35:59.160
which in some ways it was wild and unhinged. But I want you to listen to the tone. And anyway,
00:36:07.560
let's listen to that and then we'll talk about it.
00:36:08.800
I'm ethnocentric, which means I think my race is the superior one.
00:36:24.460
I think everybody thinks that they're just not honest about it.
00:36:26.880
Hey, I'm not racist, though. I like all types of comments.
00:36:56.920
I don't think I got a little more respect for you.
00:36:58.780
I don't think I got respect for him no more, man.
00:37:05.320
Now, by the way, the district has made counselors available to students who were traumatized by this event.
00:37:12.380
Somehow, I don't think the counselors will be necessary because the students seem to be more amused by it than traumatized.
00:37:18.840
And you can tell the teacher as he's talking, like, you can see him realizing as he's talking that he shouldn't be saying this.
00:37:27.900
And then I think he tells one of the students to put their phone away, but it's too late because he's already on camera.
00:37:31.860
He forgot the student that was sitting right next to him.
00:37:36.640
That this teacher is actually doing exactly what the woke crowd tells him to do.
00:37:54.340
This is what all the race hustlers will tell you.
00:37:59.880
In fact, if you as a white person tell them that you are not racist, they will tell you it's racist to say you're not racist because you are racist.
00:38:08.220
And so what you need to do is confront your racism and admit to it.
00:38:11.980
You have to confront your racism, admit that you're racist.
00:38:17.680
If you deny that you're racist, that's only further confirmation that you are racist.
00:38:24.880
Black people cannot be racist because of structural, you know, racism is prejudice plus power and blah, blah, blah.
00:38:30.120
And then what they also say is that we need to start having conversations.
00:38:39.300
And so this teacher attempted to apply all of that.
00:38:43.960
He said, we're going to have a conversation about race.
00:38:46.180
And I'm going to admit that I'm racist because this is what we're supposed to do.
00:38:56.500
And maybe if he got in this detail right, he wouldn't have been fired.
00:39:04.040
CRT teaches that only white people are racist, which is an important distinction for them.
00:39:12.780
Now, if you were to play this video back, rewind it, and if he was able to do that again, he probably would just keep his mouth shut.
00:39:31.500
Then I think this becomes a totally different thing.
00:39:36.480
So he was attempting to do what the woke crowd wants him to do.
00:39:45.160
But, of course, even if you've gotten them right, I mean, this is a thing.
00:39:51.860
It's sort of like go back to the witch hunt days.
00:39:54.940
And if you deny that you're a witch, then, well, that's what a witch would do.
00:40:00.440
But if you admit that you're a witch, well, then you're a witch.
00:40:05.360
This is the quintessential get woke, go broke situation, what you just saw there.
00:40:15.700
Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?
00:40:29.180
Elisa says, I'm showing what is a woman to my sophomores this week.
00:40:37.000
I work at a Christian school, so I have the ability to show this video to students.
00:40:39.560
They'll learn to debate and how to discuss these topics with those who have differing views.
00:40:46.920
And I think sophomore, people ask me a lot, should parents ask me, should I let my kids watch this?
00:40:56.000
And you've got to make a determination for yourself based on what you know about your kid.
00:41:00.100
But, you know, my kids are, well, those kids are nine years old.
00:41:09.060
But once you get to be a sophomore in high school, this is certainly well within the age range where I think it's necessary and appropriate to show them the film.
00:41:19.780
Because in a perfect world, even as sophomores, they would not have encountered any of this stuff.
00:41:23.180
But being sophomores, they certainly have by then.
00:41:29.280
Michael says, Matt, I saw your tweets about Ukraine.
00:41:31.460
It seems hypocritical that you complain about Ukraine funding while supporting foreign aid to other countries.
00:41:38.780
Who told you I support foreign aid to other countries?
00:41:44.640
I've always said that I don't like the idea of American tax dollars being sent to any foreign governments, period.
00:41:51.200
If a country can't survive without a constant influx of American tax dollars, then it doesn't deserve to exist.
00:42:01.460
You have to be able to stand on your own two feet as a country at a certain point.
00:42:06.040
And the idea that we've got dozens of countries or more across the globe that are on the dole,
00:42:11.280
and you're taking money away from American families and giving it to foreign governments.
00:42:21.980
And however it's spent, it's not benefiting us directly.
00:42:27.500
J.R. Cratch says, Matt, just tell your wife that you think of the stuffed walrus as a type of pillow.
00:42:32.600
Then she'll be forced to concede that there's room for it in your house.
00:42:38.280
It's basically a big glorified pillow that the whole family can share.
00:42:43.500
You know, we can watch a movie together, and we can all be leaning against the big giant stuffed walrus.
00:42:59.780
Jordan says, anyone with a junior high understanding of biology knows there are far more than two sexes in nature that many animals change sex regularly.
00:43:09.340
Matt, are you ignorant, or do you just get off on hurting others different than you?
00:43:27.820
I mean, I think I read an article recently, actually, about a certain species of microscopic worm that scientists say has three potential sexes.
00:43:38.320
And the hermaphrodites, as far as I know, actually have the functional reproductive capacity of both sexes for this microscopic worm.
00:43:51.860
There are organisms out there that can reproduce on their own.
00:43:55.000
All of that is really interesting, Jordan, but they're not human beings.
00:44:11.220
So how does the self-identification of a human being, how is that validated or legitimized by a microscopic worm or an amoeba?
00:44:30.320
There are also animals in the animal kingdom that have gills and can breathe underwater.
00:44:35.520
I still wouldn't recommend, if you're a person, I wouldn't recommend trying to swim to the bottom of the ocean without any scuba gear.
00:44:43.020
There are animals in the animal kingdom with wings.
00:44:46.280
Doesn't mean you should jump out of the, you know, window 50 stories up.
00:44:50.380
Is that, if you saw someone about to jump out of the window 50 stories up, and then you saw me trying to stop them, and I said, you don't have wings, don't do that.
00:44:58.980
Would you say, little, yeah, you're a smart one, Matt.
00:45:02.340
Don't you realize that there are a lot of animals with wings in the animal kingdom?
00:45:11.820
Candace says, Matt, you always talk about, a different Candace, I assume.
00:45:19.060
Matt, you always talk about how shopping cart ditchers are psychopathic monsters, but what other small infractions indicate that someone is literally a Nazi?
00:45:29.420
People who ride your bumper in traffic should be excommunicated from Earth.
00:45:33.280
I could not disagree more with you, Candace, I'm afraid.
00:45:36.440
In fact, you are the one who should be excommunicated and banned from the show, obviously, because if you're, I don't have this problem with people riding my bumper.
00:45:43.840
Because I keep up with the speed of traffic, and I'm not going to be in the fast lane going, you know, 60 miles an hour.
00:45:49.720
I realize that if you're in the fast lane on the highway, you need to be going at least 25 miles over the limit, at least, to justify being in the fast lane.
00:45:59.900
If you have this issue, it means that you are driving too slow.
00:46:02.920
I am an unapologetic bumper rider because it's just my way of communicating to you that you need to speed up or move over.
00:46:17.600
So, yes, there are other seemingly small infractions that indicate that someone is literally a Nazi, and driving too slow is one of those things, unfortunately, Candace.
00:46:30.760
You know, something smells over at my swag shack, something like sweet baby spirit.
00:46:38.460
Fealty to the SPG is in bloom this holiday season, so come as you are and get yourself the sweet baby album tea.
00:46:48.740
So here is the T-shirt, and this is for, we are, you know, if you don't understand what that's a reference to, then you're not a member of the sweet baby gang.
00:46:58.120
Anyway, millennia nostalgia is a big thing, and lots of companies are cynically exploiting it, and so we're going to do the same.
00:47:08.400
You know, why does everyone else get to profit off of the nostalgia, and we don't.
00:47:13.320
There are only about 500 of these in existence, and we're trying to sell out, so don't wait.
00:47:18.040
It's the perfect gift for yourself and everyone you know because there's just something in the way they put my bearded infant self on a T-shirt that no one can withstand having.
00:47:36.540
If they can't withstand having it, that means that they don't want it.
00:47:39.100
Anyway, you should want this, and you should buy it.
00:47:42.540

You know, here at the Daily Wire, we're doing everything we can to loosen the left's grip on culture.
00:48:02.620
We're making movies that challenge woke Hollywood narratives, documentaries like What is a Woman That Exposed Radical Gender Ideology.
00:48:09.040
We're creating kids' content parents can trust.
00:48:10.800
We even sued the government over unconstitutional mandates.
00:48:13.680
It's a lot of work, and there's still a long way to go, but you can help in just two simple steps.
00:48:20.720
We're building alternatives, and the left is betting their bottom billion dollars that you won't use those alternatives.
00:48:26.400
Prove them wrong. Go to jeremysrazors.com, get your Founders Series Shave Kit today.
00:48:39.160
Well, if you pay attention to the news cycle, which is not a hobby that I really recommend,
00:48:43.340
you may have noticed yesterday that we were on the brink of a nuclear world war.
00:48:47.120
Again, a missile hit Poland, killing two people,
00:48:50.680
and the immediate assumption by the media and the social media peanut gallery was that Russia had launched the attack.
00:48:59.180
I mean, why should we even think that Russia attacked Poland?
00:49:03.940
All that we needed to know is that a bad thing happened overseas, which means that Russia is responsible.
00:49:08.540
And that was certainly Ukrainian President Zelensky's message,
00:49:10.940
who put out a frantic statement calling for an immediate global response to Russian aggression against Poland.
00:49:17.940
Quote, terror is not limited to our national borders.
00:49:21.060
Russian missiles hit Poland to fire missiles at NATO territory.
00:49:24.700
This is a Russian missile attack on collective security.
00:49:31.000
I want to say now to all of our Polish brothers and sisters,
00:49:40.780
Russia is terrorizing us and everyone it can reach.
00:49:48.880
Quote, a missile that hit Poland was probably a stray fired by Ukraine's air defenses and not a Russian strike.
00:49:55.620
Poland and NATO said on Wednesday, easing global concern that the war in Ukraine could spill across the border.
00:50:00.380
Nevertheless, NATO's chief said that Moscow, not Kiev, was ultimately to blame for starting the war in the first place
00:50:06.800
and launching the attack that triggered Ukraine's defenses.
00:50:10.580
Russia bears ultimate responsibility as it continues its illegal war against Ukraine.
00:50:14.100
This is according to NATO Secretary General Jen Stoltenberg, who told this to reporters in Brussels.
00:50:27.320
Um, did Zelensky know that it was a Ukrainian missile, but then pretended otherwise in order to draw Western governments into a direct conflict with Russia?
00:50:37.800
Or did he not know, which means that he was repeating bad intel without taking even a moment to verify it ahead of time?
00:50:50.100
Because either way, it should be enough to give us pause, to give our government pause.
00:50:56.140
It's reason for careful consideration before continuing to hail Zelensky as a messianic figure while also keeping him on the taxpayer dole like a, like a international welfare queen.
00:51:08.240
But this regime isn't one for careful consideration, which is why we will respond by, um, not by, you know, blaming Zelensky, not by being skeptical of him, but rather by giving him another $40 billion.
00:51:22.360
The White House on Tuesday asked Congress to approve $37.7 billion in additional aid for Ukraine amid Russia's invasion, a request that comes ahead of both a government funding deadline and the expected flipping of the House to Republican control.
00:51:35.320
The Biden administration is requesting that Congress authorize $21.7 billion in defense aid to continue providing equipment to Ukraine and to replenish the Department of Defense stocks.
00:51:43.620
It also is asking for $14.5 billion for direct budget support to Ukraine, critical wartime investments, and security assistance, as well as to strengthen global food security and provide humanitarian assistance.
00:51:55.820
Additionally, $626 million would go to providing nuclear security support for Ukraine and to modernizing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to reduce domestic energy costs and to ensure sustainable access to energy resources.
00:52:06.580
Right. Our own cities look like third world refugee camps, but we are somehow in a position to shovel untold billions of dollars into the pockets of foreign governments.
00:52:22.960
You can barely afford to, you know, put food on your table or shoes on your children's feet, yet here we are throwing another $40 billion into the collection basket for Ukraine.
00:52:31.760
But why? I mean, that's the question that's rarely asked and never answered.
00:52:38.000
Why exactly are we tying ourselves to Ukraine? Why have we been doing this for months? Why is it our responsibility to fund and defend them?
00:52:46.680
How does this serve the interests of average Americans?
00:52:52.380
Well, one of the top Ukraine boosters in Congress, Representative Alyssa Slotkin, appeared on CNN over the weekend and attempted to answer that very question.
00:53:00.540
When you look at how far Ukraine has come, thanks to the help of the United States and allies, and I was told by President Zelensky that he really thanks the American people because he knows it's taxpayers' money and support from people around the world.
00:53:18.420
He's not silly about this. He absolutely knows.
00:53:21.300
What more do you think the United States and NATO needs to do to make them win and Russia lose, which is the stated goal of the U.S.?
00:53:36.480
I mean, even in my own district, there were people we'd knock on doors and they'd said, look, I support Ukraine, but, you know, how many billions are we going to give and how long is that going to be?
00:53:44.940
So that pressure is a real pressure, and the American people have been generous.
00:53:51.280
But I think we also need to recognize that what's going on in Ukraine and Russia is not just like some faraway issue that doesn't affect everyone in Europe, everyone in the United States, and everyone who supports democracy.
00:54:03.440
Do we want a world where a neighboring country can just invade a democracy and claim it as their own territory?
00:54:12.660
And I think we need to remain resolved on that and supporting the Ukrainians in what has been a really incredible run to take back that territory, I think, has been important.
00:54:22.300
But we can't get weak in the knees as they're having these successes as the winter sets in.
00:54:27.920
So a lot of us are really talking about this in Congress, about whether, you know, what more we can do with anti-aircraft, you know, a bunch of weapons to help protect them from the missile strikes that we saw today.
00:54:41.660
And I really reject this idea that somehow we should just, like, give up on Ukraine, call it a day, and get to negotiating with Russia.
00:54:50.500
You know, that's not real international affairs.
00:54:52.920
Russia, it needs to be, they need to pay a price for this.
00:54:58.560
It's hard for me to explain just how repulsed I am by every part of that conversation and by both of the women involved in it.
00:55:04.720
Each sentence uttered is more infuriating than the last.
00:55:12.100
First, we're told that Zelensky is grateful for the American people and our generosity in sending so much money directly to him.
00:55:20.580
Zelensky is, in fact, so grateful to us that he tried to, you know, hoax us into another, into a world war again.
00:55:26.500
That's his way of showing gratitude, is to hoax the United States into a world war that gets millions of people killed.
00:55:33.880
But all this talk of generosity is disingenuous at best.
00:55:37.800
American taxpayers have not been generous to Ukraine.
00:55:43.600
Thanking us for our generosity is only, it only adds insult to injury.
00:55:47.940
It's like getting a thank you note in the mail from the guy who stole your car the week before.
00:56:02.440
If the average American taxpayer was given a choice, if this was put up for a vote,
00:56:06.360
if we were asked how much money we want to send to the Ukrainian government,
00:56:10.500
I'm guessing that almost all of us would say zero dollars and zero cents.
00:56:16.240
I'm all for helping the needy, but foreign governments are not charity cases.
00:56:20.280
They should be expected to care for themselves.
00:56:23.120
Slotkin also insists that we must not give up on Ukraine.
00:56:30.660
I can't give up on Ukraine because Ukraine was never my concern to begin with.
00:56:36.940
It's not for me to give up on or not give up on them.
00:56:41.920
It's not my job to fund it, defend it, preserve it, or care about it.
00:56:45.640
I have as much concern for Ukraine as Ukraine has for me, which is none.
00:56:52.000
Does Ukraine have any concern for the United States of America?
00:56:54.720
Does Zelensky give the slightest damn about the United States?
00:57:00.700
He's been trying for months to pull us into a world war that would get millions of our kids killed.
00:57:04.760
He doesn't care about us, and yet I'm supposed to care deeply for him?
00:57:09.660
Now, it's not to say that I don't care about the Ukrainian people as human beings.
00:57:17.300
But the fate of Ukraine as a political entity, as a nation, as a government, is not my burden to carry.
00:57:25.860
You know, there are 195 countries on this planet.
00:57:28.980
All of them must struggle in their own way to survive.
00:57:31.780
Nobody imagines that we're responsible for the fate of most of the 195.
00:57:37.140
Most of the people in America couldn't even name the majority of the other countries on this earth.
00:57:41.560
Yet, for some reason, out of these 195, it was decided suddenly, several months ago,
00:57:46.480
that Ukraine, a country that most of us had spent not a single moment even thinking about prior to this year,
00:57:53.400
And we must be willing to give it as much money as it says it needs,
00:57:56.800
even plunge ourselves into a cataclysmic global war for its sake.
00:58:00.620
We must be willing to send our children off to die for it, if that's what it comes to, we're told.
00:58:06.460
Not for any of those other countries, but for Ukraine.
00:58:18.980
Well, Slotkin gives an answer as to why Ukraine specifically is our problem.
00:58:23.880
Her answer, such as it is, is that, well, we have to keep Ukraine on the dole
00:58:34.680
She does not want, these psychopaths, they do not want peace.
00:58:38.120
They want the war to continue and they want us to get involved in it.
00:58:46.840
We have people representing our country and supposedly our interests.
00:58:50.940
And they are willing to say on the record, on camera, that they do not want peace.
00:58:58.720
Well, because she says that we need to make Russia pay a price.
00:59:05.020
Listen, these are the same people who release violent criminals back into our communities
00:59:09.880
and call it forgiveness while innocent Americans pay the price for it.
00:59:13.300
Yet in Russia's case, suddenly they become advocates for severe and violent justice.
00:59:18.320
Since when do they give a s*** about justice, any of these people?
00:59:25.480
They don't care about that in any other context.
00:59:33.180
They want to punish the evildoers in precisely the situations where it doesn't benefit anyone
00:59:43.940
I mean, there are many countries run by corrupt regimes who have committed atrocities.
00:59:52.740
Is it America's job to be a sort of international Batman rushing to the scene to punish the bad guys
01:00:01.560
How does the average American family benefit from punishing Russia for making sure that Russia pays a price?
01:00:09.960
How is the average American hurt if Russia is not punished?
01:00:18.940
If you could explain how the average American sitting around their dinner table
01:00:26.900
How their own well-being, the well-being of their children is helped somehow in a direct way
01:00:31.880
by making Russia pay a price rather than having peace.
01:00:40.920
These are not questions that the Ukraine boosters in our government can answer or care to answer
01:00:46.120
because they are not concerned with the interests of the average American.
01:00:52.740
They don't care if you can't afford to feed your family,
01:00:56.520
if your children die in an unnecessary global nuclear war.
01:01:03.520
And they also don't care about Ukraine, by the way.
01:01:11.080
And that will do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.
