The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1121 - New Poll Shows How Widespread Anti-White Racism Has Become

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the creator of the Dilbert comic strip has been exiled and

00:00:04.480 canceled from polite society for comments he made about a new poll which shows that a large

00:00:08.380 percentage of Americans don't think it's okay to be white. But I think the poll itself is far more

00:00:13.600 important and far more troubling than whatever comments anyone made about it. We'll talk about

00:00:16.960 that today. Also, Zelensky scolds Americans who don't want to continue shuffling billions of

00:00:20.600 dollars into his government's pockets. Ron DeSantis lays out exactly how he would drain the swamp as

00:00:25.600 President Woody Harrelson speaks the truth about COVID and big pharma on SNL. But is it too little

00:00:31.160 too late? And John Fetterman's wife goes on a journey of self-discovery while her husband suffers in the

00:00:35.840 hospital. Is she the rightful winner of the worst wife in America title? We'll discuss all that and 0.74

00:00:41.100 much more today on the Matt Wall Show. As you may have heard, the U.S. blew through the $31.4 trillion

00:00:54.680 debt ceiling in December. And still, the White House refuses to reduce spending. To dig our

00:00:59.720 country out of this mountain of debt, every single taxpayer in America would have to write a check for

00:01:03.960 $247,000. So just, you know, if you got that laying around in the bank, that's the good news.

00:01:10.200 Our economy is in trouble, in other words. It's time to start thinking about your investments and

00:01:13.940 your future. You need to consider diversifying into gold with Birch Gold. Birch Gold is a leading

00:01:49.900 Scott Adams, the man behind the Dilbert cartoon, had a successful career as of this past Friday.

00:01:56.880 Emphasis on had. His comic strip was published in hundreds of newspapers. Thousands, I think,

00:02:02.860 actually. Emphasis on was. Today, his career is effectively over. In the span of two or three

00:02:07.640 days, he was dropped by every major newspaper and most of the non-major ones, too. And then finally last

00:02:12.860 night, dumped by Andrews McNeil Universal, which is Dilbert's longtime distributor. They also have

00:02:17.980 severed ties with Scott Adams. It's one of the fastest and most thorough cancellations we've yet

00:02:22.940 seen, rivaled perhaps only by the short span of time when Kanye West lost well over half his net

00:02:28.680 worth, I think even more than that. For Scott Adams, the cancellation was prompted by comments that he

00:02:32.860 made on his YouTube live stream. And this was a live stream that was published, I think, on Wednesday,

00:02:38.760 and then for whatever reason, took a couple of days before people noticed it. And then they noticed it,

00:02:43.040 and he was canceled. On this live stream, he advised that white people should, quote,

00:02:48.320 get the hell away from black people. He warned that, quote, there's no fixing this and that, 1.00

00:02:53.320 quote, white citizens can no longer help, quote, black citizens. Now, if you're curious about the

00:02:59.400 this he's referring to, what exactly we can't fix, according to Adams, the Daily Wire covers that in

00:03:05.080 its report. Quote, in a Real Coffee with Scott Adams video posted on Wednesday, Adams discussed a

00:03:11.360 Rasmussen poll that nearly half of black Americans were unable to agree with the phrase, it's okay to 1.00

00:03:16.960 be white. Adams' video, in which he suggested that poll results indicate that blacks are a, quote, 0.93

00:03:21.540 hate group went viral. Adams in the video joked that he's been identifying as black for some time, 0.90

00:03:26.700 but must have accidentally joined a hate group based on a recent Rasmussen poll. The poll,

00:03:31.520 which surveyed 1,000 people, showed that 53% of black people agreed with the statement,

00:03:35.520 it's okay to be white, leaving 47% unable to say they agree. Now, call me a contrarian. I've been

00:03:43.540 told, I've been called worse than that. And, but it would seem to me that the headline of this story

00:03:50.020 is not what the Dilbert guy said on some YouTube video, given that he's just one guy expressing a

00:03:55.720 viewpoint that is clearly rejected by every powerful institution in our society, but rather,

00:04:01.520 the story is the survey, which would seem to indicate widespread racial animosity in the

00:04:07.900 American population. So when I heard this, that's the first thing that I noticed. I said, well,

00:04:14.160 wait a second, what about this survey? The mainstream media would have us believe that the roundly

00:04:20.060 rejected and condemned opinion of one man is a greater concern and a much more urgent national

00:04:27.420 crisis than the racist viewpoints revealed in the poll that he was reacting to.

00:04:33.420 But I would argue that we should probably take some time. I mean, once everyone has had their

00:04:37.540 turn jumping on the Scott Adams dog pile, and I think by now everyone has had their turn because

00:04:41.560 that's where the cancellation goes. Like one, one guy says something that lots of people don't like.

00:04:46.380 And then, uh, and then everyone jumps on it. It's like, even after three or four days and 10 million

00:04:52.520 people have already jumped on the dog pile and said, I too disagree with this statement. I think

00:04:57.780 it's horrible. Still, you got someone else has to come along and say, I also disagree.

00:05:02.440 Well, now that we've done that, um, can we talk about this survey and what it purports to reveal?

00:05:10.120 In fact, I think the time to talk about it is probably right now. So let's do that.

00:05:15.460 Looking at that Rasmussen poll again, it asks respondents whether they agree or disagree with

00:05:20.800 the statement, it's okay to be white. Now among black respondents, a slim majority, which is 53%,

00:05:27.340 strongly or somewhat agree that it's okay to be white, but 26% strongly or somewhat disagree,

00:05:34.060 while 21% aren't sure. That leaves, as we said, 47% who cannot definitively say that it's okay to

00:05:41.580 be white, which is to say they cannot agree that white people should exist because that would be 1.00

00:05:48.340 the implication. If it's not okay to be a member of a certain race, then what you're saying is that

00:05:53.640 it's not okay that that race exists. In fact, even among white people, only 67% would strongly agree 0.98

00:06:01.420 that it's okay for them to be the race that they are. Another 14% somewhat agree. Is it okay to be

00:06:09.220 what you are? Maybe sort of leaving 20% who cannot say that they agree at all, that it's okay for them

00:06:16.380 to be the race that they are. Now, if these numbers are accurate, they reveal a truly dangerous level of 1.00

00:06:23.000 hatred and animosity against whites and, and, and even shared by a large percentage of whites against

00:06:29.580 themselves as well. Now, you could argue that this poll only surveyed a thousand people, doesn't

00:06:36.260 represent a true and accurate cross-section of the American people. Therefore, you could also argue

00:06:40.420 that Rasmussen is a conservative firm. I've heard this on the left. It's a right-wing firm. And so

00:06:45.200 they conducted the survey in a way that would skew the results in their ideological favor. Now, on that

00:06:50.940 second point, if you're right, that they were skewing the results to get, you know, to get the results

00:06:56.420 that they favor, it only makes the results more concerning. After all, Rasmussen reported

00:07:01.720 these results triumphantly as an indication that most Americans reject woke racial indoctrination.

00:07:09.160 So if they were trying to prove anything with the survey, they were trying to prove

00:07:13.460 that anti-white racism is not widespread, as that would show that normal Americans reject wokeism.

00:07:21.100 Their own headline about the poll results, that's what it declares. Americans reject woke racial

00:07:27.920 indoctrination. And yet, even in that effort, they inadvertently showed the opposite.

00:07:36.340 The sample size is small, though. You know, that I would grant. But the whole science of polling is

00:07:42.180 to ascertain general sentiments by quantifying the opinions of a small group. Now, your faith in that

00:07:47.180 science or pseudoscience may be rather limited. I mean, I know that mine is.

00:07:52.160 Though I can't help but notice that many people who regularly tout poll results are, when it comes

00:07:56.040 to this particular poll, eager to declare that the results must be wrong. I'm willing to listen to an

00:08:01.180 argument that the results are wrong, because I'm naturally skeptical of all polls. But that would

00:08:05.120 require contrary evidence, right? Evidence that anti-white beliefs are not widespread. But I haven't seen

00:08:12.060 any skeptics provide such evidence. So you could say that, well, no, there's no way that that many

00:08:17.720 black people feel that way about white people, or even that that many white people feel that way

00:08:20.880 about themselves. There's no way that's true. Okay, well, why do you think it's not true?

00:08:25.680 Based on what? You're assuming that it's not true. Based on what do you assume that?

00:08:31.540 Indeed, the evidence seems to go the other way. What makes the results especially disturbing is that

00:08:36.300 they are not a shock, that they don't seem to be an aberration. Instead, they comport with much of what we see

00:08:41.900 see in society, including from other polls. Just recently, the Washington Post conducted their own

00:08:46.360 survey, finding that 70% of black Americans believe that half of all whites are white supremacists.

00:08:54.600 Over 49% of, or rather over 40% of black respondents claim that all or most whites are 0.53

00:09:02.320 white supremacists. In fact, across two different polls, the number of black Americans who believe

00:09:07.540 that it's not okay to be white, and that most white people are white supremacists, is almost

00:09:11.800 identical. They're off by a few percentage points. That's either an incredible coincidence

00:09:16.140 or an indication of something very troubling. We don't need polls. You can see the anti-white

00:09:22.400 sentiment everywhere in plain sight. Take this infamous video, which happened to go viral

00:09:26.940 this week as well, along with the Scott Adams stuff, where anti-white racism is casually paraded

00:09:32.500 right in front of our faces. Watch this.

00:09:36.840 What exactly are white people superior at? They're real good at violence. Violence. 0.99

00:09:42.180 Genocide. It's like stealing people's lives just because they feel like it. If you are white, 0.89

00:09:46.640 and you know this is happening, and you say nothing, then you're a killer too. 1.00

00:09:50.800 What exactly are white people superior at? Insecurity. Pretending. Fear. Being fearful of nothing. 0.99

00:09:57.180 Being ignorant. Blame. Letting their egos control their every move. Superior at being 0.99

00:10:02.120 . What exactly are white people superior at? Oppression. Gaslighting. Lack of empathy. 0.70

00:10:08.460 Intellectualizing oppression. Did I say oppression? What exactly are white people superior at? 0.58

00:10:12.620 Taking what's not there. Taking. Taking our ideas. Copycatting. Gentrification. 0.96

00:10:16.860 Appropriating things that do not belong to them. Taking over other people's cultures. And making 0.99

00:10:21.080 you believe that they invented it. Maybe they're thinking of it as repurposing. It's like recycle

00:10:25.400 and repurpose. As my grandma was saying, them white folk, they'll take it if you don't copyright it. 0.98

00:10:30.700 They are very good at destruction of land, destruction of people, destruction of humanness. 0.99

00:10:37.040 Republican, whether you're Democrat, whether you're conservative, like white people are 0.99

00:10:40.000 really good at upholding white supremacy. How about claiming that, you know, they are 0.77

00:10:44.420 actually a whole separate race, when actually white DNA comes from the black female? 0.97

00:10:49.260 So what exactly are white people superior at? Honey, lying, stealing and cheating. 0.99

00:10:52.840 Manipulation. Withholding information. Lying. Telling lies.

00:10:56.640 Now the point is not just what the bigots in the video said. It's that the video exists in the first

00:11:08.580 place. You would never see a mainstream outlet, or even a non-mainstream outlet, produce and publish

00:11:15.480 a video with the racist swapped. And that is so obvious that it's become a truism. The racial double

00:11:20.640 standard is so apparent that even people who oppose the double standard get sick of hearing others

00:11:25.040 point it out. Because, you know, like we know it. But the double standard is so clear to everyone

00:11:30.360 is yet more evidence to support the results of the poll. The reaction to Scott Adams proves it too.

00:11:36.320 Now we all know that if Scott had darker skin and had instead been advising blacks to get the hell 0.97

00:11:42.360 away from whites, he would not have lost a single newspaper. If anything, he would have gained a few 0.99

00:11:47.120 more. We know for a fact, this is not, this is not me assuming this. We know for a fact that it's true

00:11:52.360 because race hustlers on the other side regularly declare that black people are not safe around white 0.99

00:11:58.120 people. And this is something that's said all the time, despite the fact that there is zero evidence 0.96

00:12:03.460 to support that. But this is something that's always said. And none of the people who say that

00:12:08.560 ever suffer the slightest consequence for saying so. Why? Well, because the most powerful forces in our

00:12:17.400 society have been working for years to get exactly the results that we see in that Rasmussen poll.

00:12:23.480 That's perhaps the best evidence that the poll is tragically accurate because it simply reveals the 0.87

00:12:27.980 racial animosity and anti-white hostility that our culture has been dead set on instilling in black 1.00

00:12:33.000 and white people alike. This doesn't emerge from a vacuum. Kids today are raised in schools and they

00:12:38.880 consume media and they watch films and shows that all carry the explicit message that white people are 0.99

00:12:44.340 history's great villains, that white people are inherently racist, that whiteness is a scourge, 1.00

00:12:49.320 a disease. In fact, a psychoanalyst named Donald Moss published a paper a couple of years ago 0.99

00:12:54.940 that argued explicitly that. Here's the first line of the abstract in this paper.

00:13:00.860 Whiteness is a condition one first acquires and then one has, a malignant parasitic-like condition 0.99

00:13:06.600 to which white people have a particular susceptibility. The last line laments that despite their best 0.95

00:13:13.220 efforts, they've yet to come up with, quote, a permanent cure for whiteness. Those are the exact 1.00

00:13:18.860 words. Permanent cure. If that sounds genocidal, it's because it is. Just like the statement,

00:13:27.080 it's not okay to be white, reveals genocidal hatred as there is only one cure for a race that 1.00

00:13:32.800 it's not okay to be. Right? If it's not okay to be a member of a certain race, well, how do you cure 1.00

00:13:38.640 that? What do you do about that? This is what's brewing. One racial group has been tagged as the

00:13:46.280 enemy, the cancer, the cause of all our social ills. Far from the first time in history that a racial 1.00

00:13:51.860 group has been scapegoated in this way. And so we know from history where it leads. And I think perhaps

00:13:59.400 this is what we should really be talking about. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:10.560 Let's talk about, as we already have, about cancel culture on social media sites and what you can do

00:14:15.740 about it. The left wants to silence and boycott any voices they don't agree with. Social media is

00:14:19.760 supposed to be an open platform. I don't need their content moderators acting like the op-ed section of

00:14:24.460 the New York Times, but that's so often how it works. And that's why I use ExpressVPN. If you've

00:14:30.020 ever wondered how free to access sites make all their money, it's by tracking your searches, your

00:14:34.320 video history, and everything you click on, and then selling your valuable data. When I use ExpressVPN,

00:14:39.000 my online presence is anonymized, making it difficult for anyone to track my online activity

00:14:43.120 and to try to shut me down. It couldn't be easier to set up. You just tap one button on your phone or

00:14:47.580 computer and you're protected. It's as simple as that. ExpressVPN works on all your devices, your phone,

00:14:51.840 your tablet, your computer. Wherever you are in the world, ExpressVPN can and will protect you.

00:14:57.560 I won't back down. It's time to say no to censorship. You should do the same by visiting

00:15:13.780 already noticed that things look more harmonious than they have in recent weeks. The energy is just

00:15:21.100 the energy is right. As the kids would say, the vibe, the vibe has been restored to the Matt

00:15:28.180 Walsh show. And that's because I am wearing my beloved flannel on a Monday, even though it's

00:15:32.520 not flannel Friday. Now, every day is flannel day. Once again, the great flannel wars have come to

00:15:38.620 their conclusion. And the, I'm proud to, excited to announce the pro flannel faction has won out in

00:15:45.420 this epic struggle. Um, and I tried, look, I tried for a few months to look professional on this show

00:15:52.020 with the sports coat and all that kind of stuff. And we're done with that now because those days

00:15:56.120 are over. I'm not, that's not who I, I'm not professional. I'm not a professional person.

00:16:00.180 This is, I am a flannel wearing dad all the way. Only thing I'm missing is the white New Balance

00:16:07.080 sneakers. I haven't quite transitioned to that yet. Eventually I will. So I am. So I've always been.

00:16:13.300 That's who I was when I was born. As we know from the Sweet Baby Gang logo.

00:16:17.740 Can't, we can't, you can't try to take that away from me. And so we're, we're back, ladies and

00:16:23.880 gentlemen. Um, well, that's the good news, but we go over to some sad news today. Uh, there's also,

00:16:30.380 it's a, it's a, it's a great day. It's a great day of celebration because it's a flannel, you know,

00:16:34.900 the flannel has been restored. Also a sad day with some very pitiful news that, uh, the feds,

00:16:40.780 they had planned a special, uh, occasion over the weekend, special, a special day over the

00:16:46.560 weekend and nobody came. You know, it's kind of the equivalent of having a birthday party at a

00:16:50.680 Chuck E. Cheese for a child and none of his classmates that you invited show up. That's

00:16:55.660 basically what happened to the feds, uh, to the FBI. And I, I feel very bad for them.

00:17:00.800 It was supposed to be called the day of hate, right? So last week, late last week, we started

00:17:05.740 hearing about, and I say we started hearing, I mean, it's this, this started popping up on social

00:17:09.740 media and the media started talking about this thing called the national day of hate,

00:17:14.220 where an alleged quote unquote far right groups were going to march or do something. It was never

00:17:19.620 quite clear what they were going to do, but there was going to be some widespread national day where

00:17:23.800 lots of far right groups are going to be out in the streets, um, showing their hatred for minorities,

00:17:28.640 especially Jewish people, but, but not just them. This is going to be a, it's a day of hate for just 0.95

00:17:32.940 like expressing your hatred. Um, and it was supposedly being organized by far right groups

00:17:39.540 and, uh, neo-Nazis organizing and that's what they said. Except that of course, any thinking

00:17:45.420 person could smell the psyop from a thousand miles away. Like it's, it's, it's not even subtle at this

00:17:52.280 point. Yet the media was running with this. Um, even though, you know, I am, I'm told a member of the

00:18:00.260 far right and, uh, I'm, I've even been told many times that I'm a Nazi. So I don't, that's not how

00:18:06.220 I see myself. I didn't, I never met, but that's what people tell me. And yet I never heard about

00:18:12.160 this day of hate. I had, I had to hear, I had to hear about it from the media because nobody on the

00:18:18.300 right was talking about it or knew about it because it was invented by the media and probably by the

00:18:23.620 feds. This story from, uh, from the Boston ABC affiliate is representative. This is what they were

00:18:28.700 pushing. White supremacist groups are trying to organize a national day of hate to coincide with

00:18:34.620 the Jewish Sabbath this weekend, according to the Anti-Defamation League. This particular effort 0.99

00:18:38.580 originated with a small neo-Nazi group based in Eastern Iowa, the ADL said. While ADL is not aware

00:18:44.580 of any specific threats, we know that these groups are hoping for increased anti-Semitic flyer

00:18:49.240 distributions, protests, and graffiti. In Massachusetts, several police departments said they were aware of

00:18:54.080 the reports, but had no information about anything planned for the area. Right now, there's no specific

00:18:58.020 threats that are known. We don't have intelligence that leads us to believe there's any particular

00:19:01.340 targets, uh, but they said they're being vigilant and they're aware. And so there's a lot of reports

00:19:05.240 like this, that the far right, they're going to have a day of hate. Nobody knows who's doing it or

00:19:09.720 what it's going to be, but it's, it's happening. Then the big day of hate came and, uh, it was,

00:19:16.040 you know, and it was trending on Twitter and all that. Um, but then the day comes and nobody shows up.

00:19:21.220 Nothing happens because it never existed in the first place.

00:19:25.560 But how's the media going to spin that? Well, they're going to say, well, this only proves

00:19:30.140 that, uh, that we scared the anti-hate brigade away. They were going to show up,

00:19:34.860 but we put a stop to it. So here's the times of Israel. This is what they said. 0.94

00:19:39.440 No major anti-Semitic incidents were immediately reported in the United States on Saturday,

00:19:43.640 despite widespread alert over a national day of hate that had been planned by white supremacist and

00:19:48.320 neo-Nazi groups. Instead, officials issued statements of solidarity and demonstrations

00:19:53.200 of unity, which were held in Washington, DC and elsewhere, while Jewish communities defied the

00:19:57.660 threats by sticking to their normal, uh, Shabbat activities. Law enforcement and Jewish groups 0.89

00:20:01.560 had urged vigilance ahead of Saturday after the white supremacists called for followers to

00:20:05.320 distribute anti-Semitic messaging with banners, stickers, flyers, and graffiti. Um, a statement

00:20:11.760 that's attributed to the hate groups, although we're still not told who the hate groups are,

00:20:15.340 but this is a statement attributed to them. 0.67

00:20:16.820 Take a stand and expose the international click of parasitic vermin that infest our nation. 0.99

00:20:22.020 Make your voices heard loud and clear that the one true enemy of the American people is the Jew. 1.00

00:20:27.280 This is what we're told a statement attributed to the hate groups, although they don't tell us who

00:20:31.420 the hate groups are. Then the day comes and nothing happens. You know, there's a lot of reasons why,

00:20:37.300 you know, we could know going into this, this is basically an invention of the media. Now,

00:20:41.280 when the media invents something, sometimes there's a, there's a shred of truth to it. Sometimes there

00:20:46.140 isn't. So is it possible that someone somewhere posted something on some obscure chat room or,

00:20:53.180 or message board, and then that's what they're basing this on? That's possible. Would that justify,

00:20:59.480 uh, you know, the, the, the extrapolation that there's some sort of national, uh, incident that's

00:21:05.960 about to occur? Of course not. Better luck next time, feds. Okay. At a press conference, uh,

00:21:13.000 a couple of days ago, President Zelensky of Ukraine was asked about Americans who don't want to keep

00:21:19.320 shipping money to, uh, to his country. There are some Americans, if you can believe it, that after a

00:21:24.320 year of this, some Americans, because they're all stooges of Putin, um, of which apparently I am a

00:21:31.240 stooge of Putin, because I agree with them that, no, we don't want to continue shipping money and

00:21:36.040 weapons or anything else to Ukraine. I don't think we ever should have started. Zelensky has

00:21:40.560 some thoughts about those Americans like myself and probably like you. This is what he says.

00:21:45.680 What would your message be on the anniversary to those Americans? Thank you.

00:21:49.640 I would like to thank the American people. I would like to thank all of the American people

00:22:01.560 that are supporting Ukraine, the Congress, the president, the TV, uh, channels, the journalists,

00:22:10.600 and everyone that has been supporting us. And that, uh, percentage of, uh, Americans, as, uh,

00:22:23.440 you've mentioned, is increasing. Uh, I can tell them only one thing. If they do not change their opinion,

00:22:34.040 if they do not understand us, if they do not support Ukraine, they will lose NATO, they will lose,

00:22:46.440 um, the clout of the United States, they will lose the leadership position that they are joining the

00:22:53.920 world, uh, that they are joined for a very fair reason. And they will lose the support of the country

00:23:00.660 with 40 millions of population, with millions of children. Are American children any different 0.61

00:23:07.440 than ours? Don't Americans enjoy the same things as we do? I don't think we're that different.

00:23:18.220 Do we enjoy the same things as you do? I mean, maybe. We might have similar hobbies to lots of

00:23:26.480 people all over the globe. Are we supposed to be shipping them all money because of that? I mean,

00:23:30.000 we do ship almost all of the money, but is that a good enough reason? This is really, this, this is

00:23:36.320 everything you need to know from, uh, inadvertently. He has told, told you everything you need to know.

00:23:41.680 Uh, Zelensky has because remember what he was asked is just ask, well, what about Americans?

00:23:47.140 Don't want to, they don't want to support Ukraine anymore. They don't want to keep sending money and

00:23:49.900 all the rest of it. If there was an argument to be made, even a, even a, uh, unlikely argument,

00:23:58.420 but if there were implausible though, it may be, if there was an argument to be made that doing

00:24:03.060 this, sending the money to Ukraine is in the best national security interests of America, that doing

00:24:10.500 it would actually benefit the American people in a direct way that you need to do it because if you

00:24:15.220 don't do it, then America will be, uh, at risk. Maybe because Putin will, you know, he'll take over

00:24:20.500 Ukraine, then he'll keep marching. He'll take over all of Europe and then launch it. You know, 0.81

00:24:23.700 if there was any argument to be made for that, I wouldn't buy it, but if there was,

00:24:29.520 then he, then that would have been the time to make it. He doesn't even pretend. You notice that

00:24:32.760 he's not even pretending that it's in the direct personal interest of the American people to

00:24:39.740 support Ukraine. He's not even pretending that it will make us safer to support Ukraine.

00:24:47.880 Instead he says, well, we like a lot of the same things. We all, we all love to, you know,

00:24:51.840 walks on the beach. We'd like to go for, we all love to walk through a meadows on a,

00:24:56.320 on a lazy Saturday afternoon. You know, uh, you know, he gives us that. And then he also says,

00:25:01.840 um, that we'll lose the clout. We'll use our, we'll lose our national clout.

00:25:09.540 So, so that, that's what we have to spend billions of dollars on is for, for clout.

00:25:14.440 How do you measure the clout of the globe exactly? And why should I care? Why should I care if America

00:25:22.600 has clout, especially if this is how you get it? So the way that we get clout nation internationally

00:25:29.660 is by paying for it, by buying it. That's all he's got. Like, I, I can't conceive. How could any,

00:25:38.440 how could any, anybody with a brain at this point still support sending money to Ukraine? You just

00:25:43.560 heard President Zelensky, he gave his best sales pitch and he's not even pretending that it's going

00:25:49.660 to make us safer, that it's best for our own wellbeing. It's all about him. His real argument

00:25:54.880 is, well, you should give us money because we really want it. And I love the threat also that

00:26:00.320 he says that if we don't, we'll lose the support of the Ukraine people, Ukrainian people. So when did

00:26:05.440 we ever have your support? What do you mean? We'll lose your support. When, what have you ever done for

00:26:08.940 us, Zelensky? What has Ukraine ever done for United States? One thing? Is it, have they done one thing?

00:26:13.560 Okay. Okay. Because I can name billions of things we've done for Ukraine. What have they ever done

00:26:18.120 for us? All of these countries that we're constantly shipping money to it. What are they doing for us?

00:26:23.280 What are they doing to show their support for us? Nothing. You'll lose the support of Ukraine.

00:26:29.580 Number one, don't care. Number two, we never had it. This is a one-way relationship. It always is.

00:26:37.000 All right. Ron DeSantis was interviewed by Mark Levin, um, over the weekend. And I want you to listen to

00:26:43.360 very often interviews with politicians are not very interesting, but there was one part that I want

00:26:50.180 you to hear because this is, uh, this is important. I think they wanted to exercise power over other

00:26:55.420 people. So if you look at like all these entrenched bureaucrats, CDC, NIH, FDA, they need to be cleaned

00:27:03.020 out because they totally failed. Uh, and they're not, uh, advocating for the best interests of the people

00:27:08.860 of this country. Uh, it's been a total disaster. Yeah. It's hard to remove them, you know,

00:27:14.780 with the civil service rules and then the union rules and all the rest. And, uh, well, there was

00:27:20.240 one, uh, you know, there was a proposal, uh, that I think a lot of us wanted to see under the prior

00:27:25.140 administration to do a schedule F. So anybody that has any policy role is classified as a schedule F

00:27:33.040 and they can be removed, uh, by the president that the left would litigate that. But I honestly

00:27:38.780 think we would win on that in the Supreme court. And I also think it's one thing to have some type

00:27:43.520 of job rules for the bowels of the bureaucracy, like your supervisor, what they can do. President

00:27:49.600 of the United States has article two power who controls the executive branch. Is it the elected

00:27:55.240 president or is it some bureaucrat in the bowels of the bureaucracy that can't be fired? And so I think

00:28:02.360 push needs to come to shove on this, but whoever gets a majority of the electoral college is, has

00:28:08.240 the right to impose their agenda through the executive branch. And what they did with president

00:28:14.560 Trump was basically try to nullify the election through not only bureaucratic intransigence, but

00:28:21.080 malfeasance with the collusion hoax and some of those things. And so reconstitutionalizing

00:28:26.300 government starts with reconstitutionalizing the executive branch under article two.

00:28:31.160 Okay. So, uh, a lot of that might sound kind of wonky, but it is, uh, it is important. And

00:28:37.260 listen, if you want to know why I would take DeSantis over Trump in a primary,

00:28:42.900 of course I would support either one in general, if you want to know why I would take DeSantis or

00:28:48.640 Trump over Trump in the primary, it, it really, there are other reasons that we've talked about,

00:28:52.280 but really this is the only reason you need. Um, it is the desire to actually clean out all of

00:28:58.620 these bureaucrats, all of these entrenched bureaucrats to clean them out of the system, 1.00

00:29:04.120 right? You need like, uh, it's, it's like cleaning out your, you need some, it's like,

00:29:07.460 it's a, how do you get some Drano to clear all this gunk out of the, out of the pipe stream.

00:29:12.440 And that's what he wants to do. It not only the desire to do it, but the knowledge of how to do it.

00:29:17.940 And he's, this is what he's done in the Florida state government. He's done exactly this. Now it's

00:29:23.020 harder to do on a national level, but we know that he knows how to do it because he's done it.

00:29:27.320 And, um, and also from giving explanations like that, the desire and willingness and follow through

00:29:32.780 to actually use the powers of the executive branch, knowing how to use those powers and being

00:29:38.860 interested in using them to get rid of many of these corrupt, uh, swamp things. Trump, listen,

00:29:44.800 Trump never did that. He, he, he just never did. He was elected to drain the swamp. He never did

00:29:50.160 anything to actually drain it or very little, I should say, very little was done. And whatever

00:29:55.220 he did do was, was, was, was, was ungun within about 12 hours of him leaving office. So that's

00:30:02.920 what you get from DeSantis. I mean, can you imagine, to be honest, can you imagine Trump calmly explaining

00:30:09.560 as DeSantis just did, how we would actually get rid of these people? Have you ever heard him?

00:30:16.940 Um, that we know we get the, you know, we know we get the platitudes and we get the,

00:30:20.880 the, the bumper sticker slogans and we get the rally speeches and all that and the talking points.

00:30:25.700 And of course you get that from any politician and that stuff is important too. But what about

00:30:29.980 sitting down and saying, listen, this is how I'm going to go about doing this and being able to

00:30:34.300 explain it. Um, you don't get that from Trump very often. You do get it from DeSantis.

00:30:40.220 All right. I guess we'll move to this. Uh, Woody Harrelson and SNL are getting some props this

00:30:52.680 week, uh, for really this moment from Harrelson's monologue, um, while he was hosting the show on

00:30:58.960 Saturday. Here it is. Okay. So the movie goes like this. The biggest drug cartels in the world

00:31:06.400 get together and buy up all the media and all the politicians and force all the people in the

00:31:12.720 world to stay locked in their homes. And people can only come out if they take the cartels drugs 0.95

00:31:19.100 and keep taking them over and over. I threw the script away. I mean, who is going to believe that

00:31:26.280 crazy idea? Okay. It's a good, a good moment on the, and if you watch the rest of the clip,

00:31:32.400 there's a few more seconds there, but, uh, you really need the rest of it because then you,

00:31:36.580 you'll hear the reaction from the crowd, which is mostly, it's a little bit of awkward laughter

00:31:41.380 and then silence because they are thinking like, we're not supposed to hear this kind of,

00:31:45.780 this is not what we're supposed to hear on SNL. Okay. And this is from a Hollywood celebrity.

00:31:49.040 He's not supposed to be saying stuff like this and they don't know how to react to it. Um,

00:31:52.620 but Woody Harrelson is getting a lot of credit for that, for saying this. And, and again,

00:31:57.760 I'm, I'm glad that he said it. I'm glad that he said it in the forum where he said it. It's

00:32:03.220 important, but I also have to say that I, I just, I can't give anyone credit for being this late to

00:32:14.440 the party. Now, maybe I'm wrong. I haven't, I haven't tracked Woody Harrelson and his viewpoints

00:32:20.420 very closely or at all. So maybe he came out back in, you know, April of 2020 or May of 2020,

00:32:28.960 or even sometime in 2021 and said this and talked about the, you know, refer to the pharmaceutical

00:32:36.400 companies as a drug cartel. They were forced to be, you know, maybe he, maybe he was saying this

00:32:40.120 all along. Um, I don't remember ever hearing him say that. So if he did, then, then I'll give him

00:32:49.900 credit for that. But if he didn't, and this is yet another example of somebody years later saying

00:32:58.260 what many of us have been saying for years up until now, and even SNL, you know, I don't know

00:33:05.420 if he got clearance for that line before he went up there. Maybe he was going off script a little bit.

00:33:10.220 I don't know, but it wouldn't, it wouldn't surprise me if they, if they knew the writers knew that he was

00:33:14.360 going to say that, if that was written on a teleprompter and he, and it was already known because SNL

00:33:19.100 has also in the last few months, you know, they've done a few bits, a few skits where they're kind of

00:33:24.420 making similar sorts of points, but it is so late. And it's just, yeah, if you're right, if you're,

00:33:34.240 if you say something that is correct now, when it's easy and popular to say it, then you're still

00:33:40.440 correct. I'm not going to act like it's not correct. I'll say, well, good. That's true. I'll agree with

00:33:44.020 it. But that's exactly the point. It's once it's easy and popular to say, and there's no real risk

00:33:51.900 in saying it that I, then the credit for saying it is out the window. And there are so many examples

00:33:58.460 of this, not just with COVID, but you've got a lot of these kind of, I don't know, I guess we'd call

00:34:05.320 them old school. I even hesitate to call them old school liberals because they're only old school

00:34:09.060 liberals in comparison to the leftists of, you know, of the blue hair, Tik TOK leftists. So old 0.59

00:34:15.620 school in that sense, there are plenty of examples of these old school quote unquote liberals,

00:34:20.120 you know, making points like this. I mean, Bill Maher's another one, whether it's on this,

00:34:25.580 on some of the gender stuff, the same thing, you get a little bit of sanity and conservatives are 1.00

00:34:30.080 very excited by that and they want to embrace these people. But it's like, yeah, I mean, you're

00:34:34.620 saying these, you can say this now. Okay. And I'm not going to hold it against it. I'm not,

00:34:40.620 this is not even like if, if somebody was wrong about COVID two and a half, three years ago,

00:34:46.360 but has long since corrected themselves, you know, that's one thing, but to wait this long

00:34:54.640 to make these kinds of points and observations, yeah, there's, there's, you risk nothing at this

00:35:03.560 point. Speaking of late to the party, the New York Times also had this report, new intelligence has

00:35:09.700 prompted the energy department to conclude that an accidental, accidental laboratory leak in China

00:35:14.760 most likely caused the coronavirus pandemic. Though U.S. spy agencies remain divided over the origins of

00:35:20.060 the virus, American officials said on Sunday. The conclusion was a change from the department's

00:35:24.340 earlier position that it was undecided on how the virus emerged. Some officials briefed on the

00:35:29.900 intelligence so that it was relatively weak and that the energy department's conclusions was made

00:35:33.960 with low confidence, suggesting that it's a level of certainty was not high. While the department

00:35:39.040 shared the information with other agencies, none of them changed their conclusions. Officials said

00:35:43.480 officials would not disclose what the intelligence was, but many of the energy department's insights

00:35:47.560 come from its network of national laboratories, some of which conduct biological research rather than

00:35:52.580 more traditional forms of intelligence like spy networks or communications intercepts. Intelligence

00:35:57.340 officials believe the scrutiny of the pandemic's beginnings could be important to improving global

00:36:02.220 response to future health crises. Though they cautioned that finding an answer about the source of the

00:36:06.720 virus may be difficult or even impossible given Chinese opposition to further research.

00:36:12.140 Another one very late to the party. Now, yeah, they, they've, they have, uh,

00:36:15.140 couched this clarify. They've made very sure in all the media reports about this, they've made very

00:36:21.920 sure to include that. Well, it's a low level of confidence. Yeah. The energy department is saying

00:36:25.460 this, but, uh, we don't, we still don't know exactly. No, we know. And this is another one that we knew

00:36:32.100 essentially from the beginning. It's very clear from the beginning. Um, there was at least enough

00:36:40.580 evidence at the very beginning, like just starting with the fact that, oh, this virus originated in

00:36:47.080 Wuhan and there happens to be this Wuhan lab where they're in the business of making these crazy 0.92

00:36:53.820 viruses. And so it's of all the places where a virus could emerge, the fact that it emerges right

00:37:00.820 there is not proof in and of itself. Coincidences do happen, but very strong indication that there is a

00:37:09.280 relationship there. And as more and more information came out, it was, uh, there was enough reason from

00:37:15.720 the very beginning to strongly suspect that this came from a lab. And then shortly thereafter, there

00:37:23.860 was enough reason to be quite sure of it as, as more and more evidence came out. But here we are

00:37:30.320 three years later and they're saying, well, yeah, it looks like that could be the game.

00:37:34.060 Even if we, even if we buy the low level of confidence thing, again, it's not low level

00:37:41.800 of confidence, high level of confidence. But if you buy that, well, the point is that now you've got

00:37:49.680 the Biden administration saying that this is a, a very plausible explanation at the very least.

00:37:57.240 When two or three years ago, they were not only saying the explanation was implausible,

00:38:03.540 they were actually saying that it's bigoted to even talk about it, to simply discuss the

00:38:08.920 possibility that it might have come from a lab in China is bigoted and racist. They said,

00:38:15.000 this is a yet another example of where we're not going to give any credit to anyone, whether it's the

00:38:20.380 New York times, certainly not the Biden administration saying three years later, maybe, maybe you're right

00:38:24.640 about that. Because they won't even, they won't even dignify it, dignify us by, by phrasing it that

00:38:31.060 way. They won't even say, well, maybe you were right. Instead, they're going to pretend that all

00:38:36.560 the people that were making this point for years and that they shouted down, they're going to pretend

00:38:39.820 that we never existed. We never said any of that. Here's how the Hill, by the way, the website,

00:38:45.340 the Hill is translating all this. This is how they're reporting on it. Republicans are seizing on a new

00:38:50.620 energy department conclusion, pointing to a lab leak as causing the COVID-19 outbreak to call for

00:38:55.100 swift action against the Chinese government. The Wall Street Journal, New York Times reported Sunday

00:38:59.140 that the energy department had determined with low confidence that the virus was leaked from a lab,

00:39:03.480 though it's unclear what new intelligence that was based on. So as always, the story for, you know,

00:39:11.060 you start with the story, which is the actual story that the virus came from a lab. We always knew that.

00:39:15.820 But then very quickly, the story for the media becomes not the story itself, but the way people

00:39:23.740 on the right are reacting to the story. Republicans seize on the information. Well, no, we're not

00:39:31.040 seizing on it. We've been seizing on it from the very beginning. If by seizing, you mean like pointing

00:39:37.460 to it and saying, hey, look at this fact, everyone. All right, one other thing before we go to the

00:39:42.180 comment section, this is some more big news. New York Times has this. I'm just going to read from

00:39:48.400 it. Warm, moist air and colder dry air collided on Wednesday to create the conditions necessary for

00:39:54.960 hail, damaging winds and tornadoes across the southern plains and into the southeast. And it

00:39:58.920 was the job of an elite meteorology group called the Storm Prediction Center to give people advance

00:40:03.100 notice. Elizabeth Lightman, who has worked at the Norman, Oklahoma Center since 2010, it would be the day

00:40:09.820 she would issue her first thunderstorm watch. She would also become the first woman ever to do so

00:40:15.140 in the 70-year history of the center and its previous iterations, according to the center officials.

00:40:20.260 Ms. Lightman is one of only two women among the 22 full-time forecasters at the Storm Prediction

00:40:24.460 Center. As far as I know, there's been five of us, Ms. Lightman said, referring to female

00:40:28.160 forecasters who've worked there before. None of her predecessors, though, reached the role of lead

00:40:33.160 forecaster. On Wednesday, her first day training to become a lead forecaster, she did all the

00:40:37.620 intricate work while someone supervised her every move. And then she issued the storm watch.

00:40:45.100 So in summary, if you're a little confused, a woman, maybe you're confused because you're

00:40:50.760 wondering where the story actually is, but that's the story. A woman issued a thunderstorm watch for 0.94

00:40:55.840 the first time in history. Pretty big stuff. And this is what we're down to now. These are the

00:41:02.300 glass ceilings that we're left with. They're not even glass coffee tables or something. They're not

00:41:08.720 even ceilings. This is how desperate they are to continue pretending that women are overcoming a 1.00

00:41:14.540 sexist, patriarchal society. This is how specific things have to get. First woman at the center in 1.00

00:41:24.060 Oklahoma to issue a thunderstorm watch. Next week, they're going to be writing an article about the

00:41:29.540 first woman to declare that the store is closing over the intercom on a Tuesday night at the Walmart 0.76

00:41:36.560 in Fort Lauderdale. First woman to do that. That's how specific they need to get. How about the first 1.00

00:41:42.300 woman to walk down the street in green pants while yodeling in Latin? First woman to do that. Another 1.00

00:41:52.020 glass ceiling broken. Very inspiring story for all of us. Let's get to the comment section.

00:42:07.260 Ariana Sullivan says, I judge harshly people who defend criminals actions based on mental illness

00:42:13.620 and or past trauma. For every murderer that has fetal alcohol syndrome, there are at least tens of

00:42:18.560 thousands, if not millions of others who have fetal alcohol syndrome and don't kill. It's not that

00:42:23.220 mentally ill people commit crimes. It's that criminals often have mental illness and there's

00:42:27.200 a huge difference. Mentally ill does not equal morally corrupt. Well, you're right. And this is 0.88

00:42:32.600 even more so the case when you consider the fact that according to psychologists and psychiatrists these

00:42:38.220 days, everybody has a mental illness. There's a mental illness for everybody. You either have been 0.71

00:42:44.260 diagnosed with a mental illness or you haven't been diagnosed yet because you haven't gone to seek a

00:42:48.860 diagnosis. But anyone who wants one can get one. That's the, you know, it's like the Oprah giving

00:42:54.300 out cards. Like you get a mental illness, you get a mental illness. So everyone gets one. So if we start 0.99

00:42:58.520 excusing bad behavior and especially violent crime on the basis of mental illness, then you very rapidly

00:43:06.920 end up in a society where everybody is excused. You know, you can't condemn anything because we all have

00:43:13.440 mental illnesses to fall back on. That's why I'm always, I'm just, I'm very skeptical of using

00:43:21.660 mental illness as an excuse at all. The insanity defense. Very skeptical. I've always been very

00:43:27.820 skeptical of that because the only thing I need to know, right? You did something terrible. You hurt

00:43:33.720 somebody and killed someone. Only thing I need to know, I need to know two things. Did you know that

00:43:39.520 what you were doing was wrong? And, um, did you do it on purpose? Now, if the answer is no to both

00:43:48.560 of those things, you didn't know it was wrong and, or you didn't, you didn't do it on purpose.

00:43:53.300 If you killed someone, you still have to face consequences for that. There's still going to be

00:43:56.600 a very harsh punishment, even if you didn't do it on purpose, even if you didn't know what you were

00:43:59.400 doing. But for the vast majority of murderers, the answer is going to be yes to both of those things.

00:44:05.200 Okay. No matter what they went through as a child, as a child, no matter what their childhood trauma

00:44:09.880 was, uh, they were abused, whatever fetal alcohol syndrome. They've been diagnosed with 50 different

00:44:14.880 mental illnesses. Uh, all that stuff could be the case, drug addicts, everything else. But

00:44:20.060 in almost every case, you know, where a crime was committed on purpose, they, they knew that what

00:44:27.320 they were doing was wrong. And you know, that too, because there's almost always an attempt to

00:44:33.160 hide the crime or to, you know, um, to get away with it. And somehow, somehow, even if the attempt is,

00:44:40.040 is clumsy and incompetent, there's still the attempt. Let's see. Addy says, thank you, Matt,

00:44:47.820 for speaking about the real issues of someone who is lactose intolerant, literally break out in hives

00:44:52.340 and get sick. Every time I have, I have dairy, I definitely agree that almond, soy, coconut,

00:44:56.840 et cetera, milk is in fact, not milk. Almond juice, as I like to call it, is the biggest liar of them

00:45:01.600 all. It's just nasty, tan flavored water that separates into half liquid, half solid. If it's

00:45:07.120 not violently shaken every two seconds, speak your truth. It needs to be said, SPG4L. 0.95

00:45:12.820 Well, it's good to know that there are some in the, uh, lactose intolerant community

00:45:17.020 that understand this, this lie and this veil that's being pulled over their eyes. Look,

00:45:22.700 I can't imagine actually being lactose intolerant to me that, that, that is, uh, that is a, that

00:45:28.680 would be a, an unthinkable curse. Um, because 98% of the stuff that I eat is, you know, is dairy or

00:45:38.060 has dairy in it. Just starting with the fact that everything should have cheese on it. I don't care

00:45:42.220 what it is. I don't care if it's a bowl of Froot Loops, like everything tastes better with cheese.

00:45:45.260 So maybe not Froot Loops, but most things. Um, so that would be an incredible curse. But if it,

00:45:51.960 if you are cursed that way, then I think that's your cross that you're bearing. Don't lie to yourself 0.73

00:45:56.820 by pretending that you can still partake in the miracle of dairy when you can't. So I commend you

00:46:03.840 for your, uh, courage in that regard. Um, and finally, Count Snacula says, despite the fact I'm

00:46:13.180 conservative, I'm not in favor of the death penalty. Our Lord has made his will clear.

00:46:17.600 We are not to kill. Uh, furthermore, vengeance is his. On a secular level, I'm not going to say,

00:46:22.900 I'm not going to ask anyone to carry out an execution that he may one day come to regret.

00:46:27.500 Um, not going to ask anyone to do that. We'll build more prisons. Sorry.

00:46:32.540 Best wishes for Ron DeSantis and his administrative reign. Well,

00:46:36.300 actually what you brought up about, um, the, the, the death penalty and the fact that someone has

00:46:42.780 to actually carry it out and the incredible psychological burden of having to actually

00:46:46.680 carry out the executions of all the arguments against the death penalty. I've always found

00:46:51.100 that to be the most compelling. And that that's the one that's, that is raised the least often.

00:46:55.640 You rarely hear anyone bring that up as an argument against the death penalty. The fact that,

00:46:59.880 look, an actual human being has to do this. And maybe that's just something that we shouldn't ask

00:47:03.700 anyone to do. Um, I do find that argument compelling, ultimately not persuasive though,

00:47:09.280 because it's, it's, it is, um, more than balanced out by the interests of justice and, uh, and every,

00:47:15.960 and all the other reasons to have the death penalty. So, but still, you know, it's an interesting

00:47:21.200 thing to talk about. What you said though, about, uh, the Lord has made his will clear. Well, you're

00:47:26.000 right, but, um, but it goes the other way that we know in, in the Bible, if you're making the

00:47:35.980 religious argument, well, we know that in scripture, particularly in the old Testament,

00:47:39.440 God prescribes the death penalty, you know, um, which means now God prescribes the death penalty.

00:47:47.060 And so that that's in scripture. Um, does that mean that we should have the death penalty? Every

00:47:54.160 single crime should lead to death penalty? No. Does that mean that we can't have law laws that,

00:47:58.020 that, you know, um, determine when the death penalty is used and when it isn't? Obviously not.

00:48:02.960 But what it does mean is that as Christians, we are now precluded from declaring that the death

00:48:09.560 penalty is some sort of inherent intrinsic evil. Now you didn't use that phrase exactly, but that's

00:48:15.640 basically the argument that's made by many death penalty, uh, opponents, especially the ones that

00:48:22.660 try to make a religious argument against it. But you can't make that argument because then you are

00:48:27.480 accusing God of, of prescribing something that was intrinsically immoral, which is, which is heresy.

00:48:36.620 So yeah, if you want to go, uh, referring to scripture is a great idea in general. And on this issue,

00:48:44.080 if you do that and you look at what scripture actually says about the death penalty, it's very

00:48:47.840 hard. It's very difficult to read the Bible, old and new Testament, and come away with the conclusion

00:48:53.540 that the Bible is a, um, is a, you know, a death penalty abolitionist text. Very clearly not.

00:49:01.280 I want to pay attention because this is your last chance to celebrate president's day this year.

00:49:54.060 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:49:59.960 Last week, I posted a very important poll to Twitter. The question, who is the worst wife in 0.98

00:50:05.320 America? There were four options, Jill Biden, Meghan Markle, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Giselle 0.60

00:50:10.160 Fetterman, the wife of Senator John Fetterman. Now it proved to be a close contest. The one clear

00:50:15.620 winner emerged at the end, Jada Pinkett Smith, GI Jane, as Chris Rock would call her, who has escorted 0.99

00:50:21.640 her husband, Will Smith, through one public humiliation ritual after another, won the race

00:50:26.420 with 32% of the vote. Close behind her was Meghan Markle, assuming her preferred position by riding

00:50:30.900 someone else's coattails with 30%. And then first lady and notorious elder abuser Jill Biden with 1.00

00:50:36.100 22%, followed finally by Giselle Fetterman with only 14% of the vote. But after the events of this

00:50:42.240 past week, I must now call for Mike Pence to do the right thing and throw out these results.

00:50:47.760 We need a new election. And I think Giselle Fetterman deserves to win this time. Now, Giselle earned the 1.00

00:50:54.520 title before this past week. She earned it ever since her husband nearly died from a stroke during a

00:50:58.900 political campaign. And she, rather than insisting that he leave the race and save his health in the

00:51:03.520 process, instead helped to shuffle him along from one campaign stop to the next, where he humiliated

00:51:09.960 himself with increasing regularity, only to eventually win the Senate seat because the Republicans

00:51:14.700 managed to run someone who was less appealing to voters than an actual vegetable somehow.

00:51:19.460 Fetterman would end up in the hospital almost immediately after being sworn in, and then again

00:51:24.500 immediately after that. He was admitted over a week ago for his second stint and is still there,

00:51:29.120 reportedly to receive treatment for depression. Now, I must say reportedly, because there's no

00:51:34.600 reason to believe any of the details were given about Fetterman's health at this point. All we can

00:51:38.620 say for sure is that the man is not well. That didn't stop Giselle, his loving wife, from going on

00:51:44.520 vacation anyway. From the Daily Wire, here's the report. Senator John Fetterman's wife was slammed on

00:51:49.220 social media Friday after she revealed that the first thing she did after her husband was

00:51:52.960 hospitalized with severe depression was flee the country to go on vacation. Fetterman checked

00:51:57.760 himself into a hospital last week for a multi-week inpatient treatment regimen after the attending

00:52:02.160 physician in the United States Congress recommended that he do so. Giselle Fetterman, who lived illegally 0.62

00:52:07.460 in the U.S. for more than a decade, said that she took the family to Canada for a vacation after

00:52:11.580 leaving her husband in the hospital. NBC News reporter Dasha Byrne said last week that senior aides to

00:52:16.860 Fetterman have indicated that it's been difficult to distinguish the stroke from the depression,

00:52:20.880 saying it's hard to tell at times if Fetterman is not hearing you or he is sort of crippled by his

00:52:26.720 depression and social anxiety. Quote, a senior aide tells me both the staff and Fetterman himself were

00:52:32.680 taken by surprise by the severe onset of depression. The aide also says that this hasn't compromised his

00:52:38.620 ability to do the job going forward and he'll be back to work once he's taken care of his mental

00:52:43.580 health. Um, so wait, just side note, you can't tell if he hears you when you speak to him, but that

00:52:52.860 hasn't compromised his ability to do the job of a Senator, which actually might be true. But what does

00:52:59.160 that tell you about the job of a Senator? As for the details of Giselle's impromptu excursion out of

00:53:03.980 the country while her husband languished in the hospital, she tweeted this quote, I'm not really sure how to

00:53:09.680 navigate this journey, but I'm figuring it out slowly. One week ago today, when the news dropped,

00:53:15.440 the kids were off from school and the media trucks circled our home. I did the first thing I could

00:53:19.660 think of, pack them up and in the car and drive. We drove straight into Canada. We talked lots about

00:53:24.760 hard things and how we will all have to face hard things about the need to be gentle with ourselves

00:53:30.400 and with all. We did some scary things, but we did them together. We ziplined over Niagara Falls

00:53:35.680 and August got stuck. We talked about flexibility and the need to always have an open heart and an

00:53:40.280 open mind. We also talked about how joy and fun can and must still exist, even when someone we love

00:53:46.020 is in pain. And tomorrow, who knows? We'll try to do it all over again. Now, she also provides some

00:53:53.520 pictures and videos from their jaunt to Niagara Falls. It should go without saying that a good and

00:53:59.700 attentive wife does not leave the country on vacation while her husband is experiencing a

00:54:03.960 catastrophic medical emergency. Now, we don't know whether John Fetterman is even fully conscious

00:54:08.500 right now, but if he is, I can only imagine what it must have felt like when he called his wife from

00:54:13.900 his hospital bed, expecting that she would sound distraught, only to hear laughter and commotion in

00:54:18.260 the background. Like, what's that, honey? Oh, we're going ziplining in Canada. It's so fun. Wish you

00:54:23.360 could be here anyway. Gotta go. Of course, it's not that a man in the hospital wants his wife to be

00:54:28.360 miserable, but he does want her empathy. He wants her concern, her support, all of which seems to be

00:54:34.800 lacking in Giselle's behavior. Of course, some people have tried to defend Giselle by insisting 1.00

00:54:39.580 that while she was only trying to get away from the media spotlight, it was something that she did to

00:54:43.400 protect her kids, they claim. That doesn't make any sense, given that Giselle has ruthlessly pursued

00:54:49.100 the media spotlight and she was willing to sacrifice her husband's health to get it. You can't push your

00:54:55.360 barely cognizant husband over the finish line and into the Senate, and then five seconds later

00:54:59.960 claim that you wish to shield your family from public scrutiny. That would have been easily

00:55:05.040 achieved if Fetterman dropped out of the race after he had his first stroke during the primaries.

00:55:09.200 Remember, that first stroke was during the primaries. He could have easily just dropped out

00:55:14.260 and another Democrat would have been the nominee and probably would have won the Senate.

00:55:19.100 But now that he's a senator, you know, now that you've made that decision to push him over the

00:55:25.540 finish line, his health is a matter of national interest and importance. That's what she wanted,

00:55:31.020 and now she has it. But even if we could justify the Niagara Falls tour on the basis that she was

00:55:36.420 trying to avoid the news cameras, take her kids' minds off of everything in the process,

00:55:40.500 that wouldn't explain why she needed to publish a string of tweets about the experience,

00:55:43.880 complete with pictures and video. Giselle seems to have gone to the Meghan Markle school of

00:55:49.680 protecting one's privacy. And even more to the point, it would not explain or justify what she

00:55:54.300 says in the tweets and what she doesn't say. You'll notice that her husband's name isn't mentioned.

00:55:59.060 She never expresses any concern about him. Instead, she talks about herself, her journey,

00:56:04.160 her need for joy and fun. She has turned her husband's medical crisis into a personal journey of

00:56:10.860 self-discovery. And in that way, and in several other ways, she is, you know, the quintessential

00:56:16.580 modern liberal woman. And I don't mean that as a compliment. It's actually appropriate that on the

00:56:21.680 same day that Giselle published her tweet thread about her fun vacation, another tweet written by a

00:56:26.600 different but equally vapid liberal woman went viral. This time it was Dr. Nicole LaPera. 1.00

00:56:32.940 There's a psychologist and an expert in quote-unquote self-healing. LaPera has amassed an enormous

00:56:37.920 online following with gems like the one she posted on Friday, which says this, quote,

00:56:42.100 putting everyone else's needs before your own isn't selfless. It's self-abandonment. Society

00:56:47.400 glorifies this, and it's a massive reason why so many of us are unwell. Yes, that's the problem

00:56:54.220 with society, that it encourages people to be selfless. The solution to our cultural problem,

00:56:59.140 therefore, says the psychologist, is to put greater emphasis on selfishness. Because that's the

00:57:04.980 ingredient we're missing, obviously. Surely we've all noticed this. I mean, when you look around at

00:57:08.960 society, the first thing you think is, wow, there really isn't enough selfishness out there.

00:57:15.320 Now, this is totally backwards, of course. It may be theoretically possible to go too far

00:57:20.180 in putting other people's needs in front of your own. Theoretically, that's possible, maybe.

00:57:25.600 But that is not the direction that our culture pushes people. And if you're having trouble in your

00:57:31.580 relationships, it is almost certainly not because you are too outwardly focused, too worried about

00:57:36.900 helping others, too selfless. That may be the story that you tell yourself, but the story is almost

00:57:44.980 always fiction. And it is a fiction grounded in your selfishness. Giselle Fetterman is a prime example

00:57:52.940 of this phenomenon, and a very public example, because that's what she wanted to be. And that is why she is

00:58:00.800 today. Finally. Canceled. And that'll do it for this portion of the show. Let's move over to the
