The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1123 - The Experts Demand That We Trust Them And Pay For Their Student Loans

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the over-educated, credentialed elite class has made it clear that most of us are not qualified to speak or form our own opinions, and yet somehow we are qualified to pay their student loans.

00:00:11.980 We'll discuss. Also, I have the honor of being a part of a bill signing event in Mississippi banning gender transitions for minors. I'll talk about that.

00:00:18.400 And Lori Lightfoot, the first black gay female mayor of Chicago, is also now the first Chicago mayor in decades to lose re-election.

00:00:26.620 She lost because she's historically incompetent, but she blames, you'll never guess, racism.

00:00:32.380 And a school shooting survivor competes on American Idol, but Katy Perry uses his trauma as a platform for pushing gun control.

00:00:38.800 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:49.360 You worked hard for what you have. Who do you trust to handle any and all of your financial obligations if you can?

00:00:55.860 According to a recent poll, 62% of Americans who think about their own death a lot of the time still don't have a will.

00:01:01.820 That's kind of like being afraid of drowning but refusing to wear a life jacket or learn how to swim.

00:01:39.800 Well, it won't be easy to pick just one inscription to put on the tombstone of modern culture, but if we have only one that we can pick, then I think we might consider the phrase, trust the experts.

00:01:51.160 Or perhaps because it's on our tombstone, we should phrase it in the past tense, you know, like, here lies 21st century America, they trusted the experts.

00:01:58.960 Now, these days, of course, we all carry around in our pockets more information than we could hope to consume in a billion lifetimes.

00:02:07.100 And with all this information comes countless informers, billions of people all talking to each other, passing information along, back and forth.

00:02:15.060 Every technological advancement has its downsides, of course, and there's no question that the Internet has plenty of those.

00:02:20.980 We talk about them all the time, but for the elites and for the institutions they run, the downside is that all of this informational accessibility, all of this communicating that normal people are able to do with each other, marginalizes them, the elites.

00:02:35.760 They feel themselves getting cut out of the picture.

00:02:38.560 They believe that they should be in charge of what people are told and not told, of what information is shared and not shared, of what ideas are spread and not spread.

00:02:47.500 Ultimately, they wish to be in charge of what people know or think they know and therefore what they believe about the world and about themselves.

00:02:55.560 And that's why they've redoubled their efforts in recent years to combat what they call misinformation, which is their euphemism for any information that they, for whatever reason, don't want people exposed to.

00:03:07.500 Trust the experts, they declare, which is another way of saying, don't trust your own intuition, your own common sense, or your own two eyes, your own brain, your own ability to read information and process it.

00:03:19.940 Trust us instead.

00:03:22.000 These self-described experts have then used their self-appointed expert status to lead us into one calamity after another.

00:03:31.600 The experts told us to lock ourselves in our homes during COVID, to wear masks, to take the vaccine.

00:03:36.780 The experts tell us to stop having children, to start eating bugs, to stop driving cars, to stop enjoying the same modern technology that they continue to enjoy because it's destroying the planet when we do it, but not when they do it.

00:03:49.280 The experts tell us to put our kids on chemical castration drugs.

00:03:52.640 The experts tell us that men can give birth to babies, that there are 900 genders.

00:03:56.900 The experts tell us that every facet of the human condition is actually a mental illness.

00:04:02.320 The expert tells us that the nuclear family is an outmoded institution.

00:04:06.680 The experts tell us that we have no souls, that there is no God, that there is no underlying purpose or meaning to existence.

00:04:15.060 The experts wave their resumes around, flash their degrees, affix letters to the beginnings and ends of their names,

00:04:20.820 and demand that we show unthinking deference to those credentials.

00:04:25.220 When we ask why we should, they simply point back to the credential as if the credibility conferred by the credential is self-evident.

00:04:35.400 But it isn't.

00:04:37.240 Never mind that the credentialed class has been wrong about basically everything for years now.

00:04:43.620 Not merely wrong.

00:04:44.840 I mean, they're pushing the most wrong, most baseless, most destructive and outright insane ideas that the human mind has ever conceived of.

00:04:56.360 They profess a vision of the world that is entirely divorced from reality.

00:05:00.200 And the farther their vision drifts from reality, the more aggressive they must be in their efforts to discredit and shout down and censor and silence information that contradicts that vision.

00:05:11.300 The experts are very often wrong, and their wrongness has made them vulnerable, and their vulnerability has made them afraid, and their fear has made them tyrannical.

00:05:22.880 Now, of course, I happen to be a target, personally, of this credentialed elitism very often, because I have a large platform.

00:05:30.140 I take positions that contradict the elite's preferred narrative.

00:05:33.380 And I do all this without even having so much as a college degree to my name.

00:05:37.900 I graduated high school by the skin of my teeth.

00:05:40.060 I went to community college for, like, a semester and then dropped out.

00:05:44.140 And that's the extent of my academic resume.

00:05:46.260 Anyway, this infuriates them.

00:05:48.780 I mean, anyone in this category, you don't have any, you didn't even go to college, and you would dare to have opinions and ideas and to say them out loud.

00:05:58.280 It infuriates them.

00:06:00.920 Which is why their primary response to me and so many others, their first and usually only rebuttal, is to point out that I have no degrees or certificates framed and hanging on the walls in my office, while they have many.

00:06:11.740 The only framed certificate that I have in my office at Daily Wire headquarters is a printout of the top LGBT books on Amazon, when Johnny the Walrus was number one in that category.

00:06:23.520 That is the only credential that I ever boast about, and the only one I have or need.

00:06:28.040 Well, there was a fresh round of these sorts of attacks after my testimony at a Tennessee house hearing a few weeks ago, where, as we saw, a Democrat lawmaker made sure to point to my lack of academic credentials as evidence that I'm not qualified to make provocative statements like women don't have penises and you shouldn't castrate a child.

00:06:46.720 Ever since that moment, many on the left have been jumping yet again on this bandwagon, taking turns, lobbing pot shots at the high school graduate who dared to form an opinion that they did not sanction ahead of time.

00:07:00.720 This led to what is now a viral tweet from someone who goes by Dr. Ian Copeland, Ph.D., which is how he refers to himself in his Twitter handle.

00:07:10.660 Well, actually, he took the doctor off because he was getting bullied.

00:07:13.520 Everyone was making fun of him for it, and so he took that off, but he still has Ian Copeland, Ph.D.

00:07:18.100 He took a screenshot of this exchange at the hearing.

00:07:21.760 He didn't post the video, just a screenshot of the video because he didn't want people to see the video.

00:07:26.560 Screenshot, and posted this caption alongside it.

00:07:28.580 Side note, why do people listen to Matt Walsh about, well, anything?

00:07:32.920 He's a high school graduate talking about biology, sex, policy, and vaccines.

00:07:37.420 He literally yields no value on any of these topics.

00:07:42.320 I would like to respond to that, but then again, I may not be academically qualified enough to answer direct attacks made against me.

00:07:49.320 I would need to spend three years at an Ivy League graduate school studying the science of rebuttals first.

00:07:55.360 I would need to take a class with a name like The Art of the Clapback, Race and Gender in the Age of the Twitter Feud, or whatever.

00:08:04.500 But even without this kind of accreditation, I still feel the need to make a few points to these over-credentialed snobs.

00:08:11.340 First, if you want to run with the idea that high school graduates should not be taken seriously when they express their views on any topic,

00:08:19.660 that we aren't even qualified to make statements about basic biological realities,

00:08:24.180 then you're free to do so.

00:08:25.560 You could say that, but please don't insult our intelligence, however limited you might think it is,

00:08:30.900 by turning around in the next breath and pretending to be a champion of the poor and the working class.

00:08:36.620 I mean, these are the people who fix our cars and our plumbing and maintain all the buildings and the bridges,

00:08:43.360 provide you with all the food you eat.

00:08:45.840 They run and staff every store you shop in.

00:08:48.860 You'd be utterly helpless without them, and yet to you, they shouldn't be taken seriously.

00:08:54.860 They can do all these things for you, but anything they say should not be taken seriously.

00:08:59.760 Their view of the world is less than worthless.

00:09:02.460 You've waved your magic wand and discredited all of them at once, which, of course, is the whole point.

00:09:09.440 You want the masses to come crawling to you on hands and knees, heads bowed in submission,

00:09:15.380 asking for your blessing before they formulate any thoughts of their own.

00:09:19.900 Again, you're free to hold this perspective, but please don't pretend to be anything but a snide, elitist prick

00:09:24.120 peering down on the common man with contempt because that's what you are.

00:09:27.960 Now, of course, you know, not everyone who has no college degree is poor or blue-collar,

00:09:32.980 nor do we all know how to fix your cars or your plumbing.

00:09:35.120 I certainly don't.

00:09:36.340 And in my case, I used to be poor.

00:09:38.000 I'm not anymore.

00:09:39.160 These days, I earn a better living than lots of the people who have all those fancy letters next to their names.

00:09:44.840 And that really, really makes them angry because they followed the system.

00:09:50.260 I went around it and ended up ahead of them, and that infuriates them, and I'm glad it does.

00:09:58.360 But most of their anger is a defense mechanism.

00:10:00.460 They hide behind their credentials because they know that their ideas cannot stand on their own.

00:10:04.980 They have to prop them up with the pieces of paper that they plunge themselves into six-figure debt to obtain.

00:10:11.040 Now, I've already asked this question to Dr. Ph.D. Ian, and now I'll ask it again to the entire credential club.

00:10:16.280 I mean, I've been asking it.

00:10:17.420 Can't get an answer.

00:10:18.960 Taking that hearing, for example, I was at that hearing to testify against the mutilation and castration of children.

00:10:22.960 Can you explain why I'm wrong in my views on that subject?

00:10:26.820 If I'm nothing but a drooling, low-IQ dunce walking around in, like, grass-stained overalls with no shoes and five missing teeth,

00:10:34.440 you know, like we high school graduates always do,

00:10:36.740 that it should be very easy to defeat whatever arguments we say.

00:10:41.420 In fact, you shouldn't need to point out the lack of schooling.

00:10:43.900 You should be able to demonstrate my deficiencies by masterfully debunking me point by point.

00:10:48.940 You should be able to use your years of academic training to explain and defend your point of view

00:10:53.620 and provide persuasive evidence that yours is right and mine is wrong.

00:10:57.360 But you don't do that.

00:10:58.540 You don't even try.

00:10:59.220 You shrink away from any opportunity to actually demonstrate why your ideas are correct,

00:11:04.400 because you can't demonstrate it, and you know you can't.

00:11:07.560 Your degrees are supposed to act as a ring of protection,

00:11:10.380 a force field around your ideas, exempting them from scrutiny.

00:11:14.220 But many of us have noticed that the force field is imaginary.

00:11:19.060 And so we're walking right through it, and right up to you,

00:11:22.160 and demanding that you justify your unearned sense of importance.

00:11:26.560 We're just not respecting the academic hierarchy,

00:11:29.120 because it's done everything in its power to lose our respect.

00:11:32.500 So now we're flipping it on its head, and we're tossing it aside.

00:11:35.300 And that scares the credentialed people, and it should.

00:11:41.580 Now, one final point.

00:11:42.560 There have been protests in D.C. this week,

00:11:44.840 as the Supreme Court considers whether to strike down Biden's unconstitutional,

00:11:50.200 quote-unquote, student loan forgiveness plan.

00:11:54.320 The protesters insist that not only should the plan be kept in place,

00:11:58.020 but that it should go further than it already does.

00:12:02.240 They want all student debt to be erased.

00:12:05.300 And half of that debt, we should remember,

00:12:08.160 is held by people with graduate degrees.

00:12:11.140 So these are, you know, what you've got is, in large part,

00:12:16.120 people with graduate degrees, and all those fancy letters,

00:12:19.940 that are demanding that working-class people pay their debts for them.

00:12:23.740 One of those protesters was a teacher's union president, Randy Weingarten,

00:12:27.480 who was there, and she spoke.

00:12:30.120 And we can add public speaking to the list of skills

00:12:33.560 that this person doesn't have.

00:12:35.740 Listen.

00:12:35.840 And frankly, and this is what really pisses me off,

00:12:41.120 during the pandemic, we understood that small businesses were hurting,

00:12:46.640 and we helped them, and it didn't go to the Supreme Court to challenge it.

00:12:51.020 Big businesses were hurting, and we helped them,

00:12:54.040 and it didn't go to the Supreme Court to challenge it.

00:12:56.280 All of a sudden, when it's about our students,

00:13:00.720 they challenge it, the corporations challenge it,

00:13:04.360 the student loan lenders challenge it.

00:13:06.880 That is not right.

00:13:08.640 That is not fair.

00:13:10.280 And that is what we are fighting as well

00:13:12.660 when we say, cancel student debt.

00:13:15.900 I mean, it's an interesting strategy,

00:13:19.080 because you hear that, you listen to this person speak,

00:13:20.860 and you're tempted to say,

00:13:21.760 okay, I'll give you whatever you want.

00:13:23.540 Just stop talking.

00:13:24.680 Please, God.

00:13:26.160 Of course, Weingarten is a ranking member of the system

00:13:29.420 that created the student debt crisis in the first place.

00:13:33.200 And now she wants a bailout,

00:13:35.440 precisely so that they can continue doing everything they did

00:13:39.360 to cause the problem.

00:13:40.420 But I also can't help but notice,

00:13:44.920 staying on the topic here,

00:13:46.240 the connection between the trust the experts credentialism

00:13:49.560 and the push for student loan forgiveness.

00:13:53.380 Because the very people who wave their degrees around

00:13:56.720 as evidence of their superiority

00:13:58.700 now want us to pay for those degrees.

00:14:02.720 Okay, they tell us that we are not qualified to speak,

00:14:05.720 to form opinions, to debate or discuss,

00:14:08.320 and yet we are qualified, apparently,

00:14:11.020 to carry the financial burden of their own life choices.

00:14:14.980 We're qualified for that?

00:14:17.900 They talk down to us,

00:14:19.560 and they have the gumption, the gall to do it,

00:14:22.220 with their hands in our pockets.

00:14:24.680 Now, this is far from the only reason to say no

00:14:27.680 to this kind of upper-class welfare scheme,

00:14:30.540 which is what quote-unquote student loan forgiveness is,

00:14:33.020 and that really is all the reason you need to say no to it.

00:14:35.480 It is upper-class welfare.

00:14:36.940 But this is, this is, if it's not,

00:14:40.780 if it's not the only reason, it's one of them.

00:14:43.960 You cannot treat us like children

00:14:45.960 and expect us to be your sugar daddy at the same time.

00:14:51.500 If anything, it should go the other way.

00:14:53.940 If you want your loan forgiven,

00:14:56.880 if you want to, and you're saying that

00:14:58.460 we should be the ones to forgive it,

00:14:59.960 we're the ones paying for it,

00:15:02.000 well, you should have to give up, first of all,

00:15:03.720 all of your precious titles and degrees.

00:15:06.680 That's what happens if you don't pay for your car,

00:15:08.500 your house, you lose it.

00:15:11.460 To begin with, there should be a repossession.

00:15:14.800 You should have to forfeit those letters next to your name.

00:15:17.920 In fact, you should have to give your titles to us,

00:15:20.560 the people paying the bill.

00:15:23.240 Then at least it'd be a swap

00:15:24.580 instead of a straightforward theft.

00:15:26.160 If I'm paying for your PhD, I should get it.

00:15:29.520 It belongs to me.

00:15:31.720 I bought it, not you.

00:15:33.800 Look at me.

00:15:34.580 I'm the PhD now.

00:15:36.100 That's what it should be.

00:15:38.000 That's a satisfying thought in some ways.

00:15:40.180 But ultimately,

00:15:42.180 I don't think I would accept that deal.

00:15:44.120 That's a better deal than anything they've proposed.

00:15:47.180 Because I don't want anyone's useless credential.

00:15:50.140 That's their humiliation to bear.

00:15:51.740 And the debt that came with it

00:15:54.580 is their problem to solve.

00:15:56.860 I mean, you guys are so much smarter than us, right?

00:15:59.420 Well, then figure it out, geniuses.

00:16:02.140 The fact is that your degrees

00:16:03.580 do not confer the kind of qualifications

00:16:05.700 that you imagine,

00:16:07.280 but they do at least qualify you

00:16:09.060 to pay for them, okay?

00:16:10.940 That's one qualification that you do have.

00:16:14.160 And that is one credential,

00:16:16.380 the credential of debt holder,

00:16:18.740 D-H, put those letters next to your name,

00:16:20.700 that I absolutely will respect.

00:16:24.340 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:17:23.500 Yesterday, I was honored to attend

00:17:26.080 the bill signing in Mississippi

00:17:27.820 of a law banning the medical transition

00:17:29.620 of children in that state.

00:17:31.320 It's a nationwide movement.

00:17:32.780 As I've been saying,

00:17:33.600 this is not just in Tennessee.

00:17:35.100 It's not just in one state.

00:17:35.860 It's one state after another.

00:17:37.340 And the governor of Mississippi,

00:17:38.640 Governor Reeves,

00:17:39.480 was nice enough to invite me

00:17:40.900 to be a part of the event.

00:17:42.620 And it was great.

00:17:43.500 I said a few words at the signing

00:17:44.580 and hung around for the press conference

00:17:46.580 where I fielded some of the questions.

00:17:50.060 Now, I will admit,

00:17:52.440 I will admit,

00:17:53.560 just to be entirely transparent,

00:17:55.540 that I was a little bit disappointed

00:17:57.200 that the leftist journalists in the room

00:17:59.140 completely folded,

00:18:01.140 just folded like a, you know,

00:18:03.720 like a lawn furniture

00:18:05.340 and didn't try to challenge me at all.

00:18:08.240 I mean, even given the opportunity

00:18:10.260 with me standing right there

00:18:12.060 and the cameras rolling,

00:18:14.440 didn't try to challenge.

00:18:15.760 Now, of course,

00:18:16.200 wasn't the point of the event.

00:18:17.520 The point is that

00:18:18.300 there's very important bill was signed

00:18:19.800 and now children are protected

00:18:21.380 in Mississippi.

00:18:23.440 But kind of hoping for the cherry on top

00:18:25.740 where the media would try to come after me

00:18:27.360 and they didn't.

00:18:29.500 Although it's been funny after the fact

00:18:31.820 to see how these people processed this

00:18:35.880 and the fact that I was there.

00:18:36.940 For example, here's a guy named Kobe Vance.

00:18:39.960 They, Them, Trans Flag and Bio,

00:18:42.860 journalist for Mississippi Public Broadcasting.

00:18:46.160 And he was there

00:18:47.140 and he did ask a question.

00:18:48.340 Before we get to that,

00:18:49.300 he kept a running thread

00:18:50.920 of everything that was going on.

00:18:51.880 And this is what he said.

00:18:53.240 He starts with,

00:18:53.740 I'm in the governor's office today

00:18:54.700 as Tate Reeves prepares to sign HB 1125 into law.

00:19:00.120 It will ban gender affirming health care

00:19:01.520 for trans youth.

00:19:02.900 Reeves is going on about side effects

00:19:04.420 of gender transition drugs,

00:19:05.760 which are well documented

00:19:06.640 and known about in the trans community.

00:19:07.880 He says conservatives are under attack

00:19:09.580 from the left

00:19:10.100 for trying to question trans rights

00:19:11.340 by being called transphobic.

00:19:13.840 I believe transphobic public figure

00:19:15.500 Matt Walsh is here in the room.

00:19:17.500 Although this is just a guess.

00:19:19.140 They look very similar

00:19:19.960 and have otherwise never seen them in person.

00:19:23.140 Then he says,

00:19:23.880 confirmed it is Walsh.

00:19:25.060 Governor Reeves introduced him

00:19:25.900 during the press conference to speak.

00:19:27.780 I asked a very specific question

00:19:29.060 about how the state will respond

00:19:30.200 to a rise in suicide for trans youth.

00:19:32.860 Reeves did answer my question,

00:19:34.140 pointing back to his policy on life.

00:19:35.560 says part of the answer

00:19:36.860 should be mental health services.

00:19:38.220 Walsh deflected the question.

00:19:40.300 Walsh points to a lack of scientific data

00:19:41.700 on trans youth

00:19:42.300 and that hormone therapy

00:19:43.160 can't improve mental health.

00:19:44.540 That wasn't my question.

00:19:45.940 I asked how losing their body positivity

00:19:47.680 could increase suicide rates.

00:19:50.740 Reeves says that he personally opposes

00:19:52.460 the idea of adults transitioning their gender,

00:19:54.200 but does not want to infringe on adults' rights

00:19:55.900 to make the medical decisions.

00:19:57.620 Says he draws the line at youth.

00:19:59.880 For most of the questions about HB 1125,

00:20:01.900 Reeves has deferred to Walsh,

00:20:03.440 that's not true,

00:20:04.480 to expound on whatever answer he gives.

00:20:06.340 Walsh has extensive experience

00:20:07.400 debating trans issues on his show.

00:20:09.020 So I just thought this was interesting

00:20:10.200 because I remember this guy

00:20:13.660 asking this question about suicide

00:20:15.860 and I answered it.

00:20:18.600 He says I deflected.

00:20:19.500 Of course, he's lying about that.

00:20:20.740 I answered the question about suicide extensively

00:20:23.040 and from several different angles.

00:20:26.880 In fact, here's just part of my answer

00:20:29.060 to that question.

00:20:29.900 This is the last minute or so

00:20:31.440 of the answer that I provided.

00:20:33.660 But enough to see that there's nothing

00:20:35.140 like a deflection going on here.

00:20:36.700 Here it is.

00:20:38.180 Not only does it defy common sense,

00:20:39.540 but I find it frankly grotesque

00:20:41.460 that the way to stop a child

00:20:43.240 from tragically hurting themselves

00:20:44.480 is to affirm their belief

00:20:46.660 that there's something wrong with their body,

00:20:50.220 that they were born in the wrong body,

00:20:51.640 that they're the wrong person.

00:20:52.920 No, the way to help anyone

00:20:54.380 who's in despair in that way,

00:20:55.900 especially a child is to help them

00:20:59.680 towards actual self-acceptance,

00:21:01.600 who you really are.

00:21:02.740 So if you're a biological male

00:21:04.140 and you're a boy

00:21:04.680 and you're 15 years old

00:21:05.540 and you feel like you're a girl,

00:21:06.960 the message should be no, you're a boy

00:21:10.920 and that's a wonderful thing

00:21:12.020 to be who you are

00:21:13.060 and we will help you to accept that

00:21:15.200 because it's wonderful to be who you are.

00:21:16.900 This is who you are.

00:21:18.080 That should be our message.

00:21:19.640 Instead, the message they get

00:21:20.620 from the medical community is,

00:21:22.080 well, okay, if you feel like

00:21:23.580 you're born in the wrong body,

00:21:24.260 then you were

00:21:24.900 and we'll start chopping pieces of you off

00:21:28.880 until the bad thoughts go away.

00:21:31.980 And I just find that to be

00:21:34.640 utterly horrific

00:21:35.940 and insane on its face.

00:21:42.740 Now, I also pointed out that before that,

00:21:45.260 that statistically suicidality

00:21:46.880 is the highest after transition.

00:21:49.240 I pointed out that the claims

00:21:50.760 that transition decreases suicide

00:21:52.340 are baseless

00:21:53.280 and must be baseless

00:21:54.360 because there couldn't possibly

00:21:55.500 be enough data to support it

00:21:57.000 given that these are

00:21:58.480 experimental treatments

00:21:59.660 that we just recently started

00:22:01.400 giving to kids at a large scale.

00:22:03.360 So, pointed out to all that

00:22:05.060 and along with what you just heard there.

00:22:09.660 That counts as a deflection

00:22:11.100 of the question somehow.

00:22:14.060 But Kobe, this journalist,

00:22:15.760 he didn't challenge me at all.

00:22:17.580 In fact, I gave this answer

00:22:18.600 and he kind of bowed his head

00:22:19.840 submissively

00:22:21.120 and then he proceeded

00:22:23.680 to tweet about it instead.

00:22:27.300 Not a big surprise.

00:22:30.240 In fact, this is

00:22:31.120 what I've, of course,

00:22:32.580 totally come to expect.

00:22:33.520 But every time it happens

00:22:36.760 that I'm in the room

00:22:38.180 with these people

00:22:39.240 claim that I'm an unqualified bigot

00:22:43.760 and have nothing of value to say

00:22:45.640 and everything that I'm saying

00:22:46.640 is wrong,

00:22:48.000 okay,

00:22:48.740 you got a chance to prove it.

00:22:51.260 You know,

00:22:51.580 now is the time.

00:22:54.760 And they never do.

00:22:55.940 They rarely even try.

00:22:56.780 And every time that happens

00:23:00.300 and they dodge like that,

00:23:02.400 yeah,

00:23:03.820 it's a little annoying

00:23:04.960 because I'm deprived

00:23:05.780 of the fun moment

00:23:06.940 to, you know,

00:23:07.660 argue with them.

00:23:08.480 But more importantly,

00:23:10.000 it's actually infuriating

00:23:13.520 because it yet again proves

00:23:15.600 that these people know

00:23:17.880 at some level

00:23:18.960 that what they're claiming

00:23:20.140 isn't true

00:23:21.080 and doesn't stand up

00:23:22.740 to scrutiny.

00:23:23.400 They know that.

00:23:26.160 They know they can't defend it.

00:23:29.620 They know that they have

00:23:31.240 staked out a position

00:23:32.140 that they can't actually defend,

00:23:34.400 which is why they will

00:23:35.520 decline almost every opportunity

00:23:38.200 to defend it

00:23:39.140 because they can't.

00:23:42.600 And that's what makes it infuriating

00:23:44.940 is when you realize

00:23:46.460 that all these things

00:23:48.460 that are happening,

00:23:49.040 this madness

00:23:49.480 that's being pushed on society,

00:23:50.980 it's not even being pushed

00:23:52.400 by people who are

00:23:53.360 confused or deluded

00:23:54.600 or who have the best intentions.

00:23:58.120 This is not a road to hell

00:23:59.340 is paved with good intentions

00:24:00.500 sort of situation.

00:24:02.120 I mean,

00:24:02.280 the road to hell

00:24:02.660 is also paved

00:24:03.180 with bad intentions.

00:24:05.000 And these people

00:24:05.660 have bad intentions.

00:24:08.340 It's not that they are wrong,

00:24:10.060 it's that they're evil.

00:24:12.000 I guess is the way to put it.

00:24:14.100 All right.

00:24:15.260 Daily Wire

00:24:15.880 has to support

00:24:16.520 Chicago Democrat Mayor

00:24:17.620 Lori Lightfoot

00:24:18.500 lost her re-election race

00:24:19.800 Tuesday after her first term

00:24:21.120 was plagued by crime.

00:24:22.260 The inability to recover

00:24:23.360 from the pandemic

00:24:24.040 and petty fighting

00:24:25.120 with officials.

00:24:26.280 Homicide rates

00:24:26.800 under Lightfoot's tenure

00:24:27.660 have skyrocketed

00:24:28.480 to generational highs

00:24:29.820 while robberies,

00:24:31.100 muggings,

00:24:31.480 carjackings,

00:24:31.980 other property crimes

00:24:32.600 have all seen

00:24:33.340 a significant increase.

00:24:34.640 The two candidates

00:24:35.500 that advanced

00:24:36.140 the runoff race

00:24:36.880 are former school

00:24:37.760 school CEO

00:24:39.020 Paul Vallis

00:24:39.880 who received

00:24:40.440 the most votes

00:24:41.060 at 35%

00:24:41.760 with nearly 90%

00:24:42.480 of the votes in.

00:24:43.360 The other candidates,

00:24:44.100 Cook County Commissioner

00:24:44.820 Brandon Johnson

00:24:45.660 who garnered 20%

00:24:46.560 of the vote.

00:24:47.300 Lightfoot only earned

00:24:48.140 16% of the vote.

00:24:49.980 The Associated Press

00:24:50.560 called the race

00:24:51.120 for Vallis and Johnson.

00:24:52.240 Vallis has tried

00:24:52.900 to portray himself

00:24:53.440 as tougher on crime

00:24:54.280 and more moderate

00:24:56.560 than Lightfoot

00:24:57.080 while Johnson

00:24:58.420 is unabashedly far left.

00:25:01.820 So it goes to a runoff

00:25:02.960 but Lori Lightfoot

00:25:03.780 is not going to be

00:25:04.960 the mayor

00:25:05.260 so she's lost

00:25:05.900 which is great news.

00:25:07.320 Great news in a lot of ways.

00:25:08.580 Lori Lightfoot

00:25:09.200 is making history

00:25:10.260 yet again.

00:25:10.920 She was the first

00:25:11.740 black gay female

00:25:13.140 mayor of Chicago

00:25:13.920 and also the first mayor

00:25:16.320 in Chicago

00:25:17.060 in decades

00:25:17.840 to lose re-election.

00:25:19.480 So she is breaking

00:25:20.500 glass ceilings

00:25:21.320 everywhere she goes.

00:25:24.200 She also has been

00:25:25.500 easily among

00:25:26.820 the worst mayors

00:25:27.880 of a major American city

00:25:29.420 ever.

00:25:30.120 I mean ever to be elected

00:25:31.320 and that is

00:25:31.840 that's not hyperbole.

00:25:34.940 When you look at

00:25:35.880 the disaster

00:25:38.200 that she has left

00:25:39.080 in her wake

00:25:39.800 it is almost unrivaled

00:25:42.480 by any other mayor

00:25:43.980 in American history

00:25:44.660 of a major American city.

00:25:45.860 So she's proven

00:25:47.440 that a gay black

00:25:49.320 female mayor

00:25:50.040 can truly achieve

00:25:51.900 things that nobody else

00:25:53.540 could possibly achieve

00:25:54.540 like a 100% increase

00:25:56.040 in violent crime

00:25:56.860 in a couple of years.

00:25:58.700 That is

00:25:59.360 it would be very difficult

00:26:01.940 to achieve that

00:26:02.500 even if you were trying to

00:26:03.720 and she was able

00:26:04.480 to do that.

00:26:05.800 Of course Lightfoot

00:26:06.480 saw the writing

00:26:07.360 on the wall

00:26:07.900 and she knew

00:26:08.580 that she was about

00:26:09.160 to lose this race

00:26:10.240 in humiliating fashion

00:26:11.240 so she set up

00:26:13.080 her excuse ahead of time

00:26:14.180 and you'll never guess

00:26:15.960 what the excuse is.

00:26:18.660 Okay actually

00:26:19.260 you will guess

00:26:19.920 because she blames

00:26:20.740 sexism and racism

00:26:21.700 obviously what else

00:26:22.800 is she going to do.

00:26:23.760 This was the Daily Wire

00:26:24.500 report from earlier

00:26:25.420 in the day yesterday

00:26:26.160 before the election

00:26:26.980 results came in

00:26:27.740 but Lori Lightfoot

00:26:29.020 was setting the stage.

00:26:32.040 Chicago Mayor

00:26:33.000 Lori Lightfoot

00:26:33.500 is facing an uphill battle

00:26:34.760 in her bid for re-election

00:26:35.640 and while she primarily

00:26:36.480 blames racism

00:26:37.520 for her plight

00:26:38.240 she also blames

00:26:39.360 Time Magazine

00:26:40.100 for failing to elevate her

00:26:41.500 the way they did

00:26:42.140 her predecessor.

00:26:42.740 While Lightfoot

00:26:44.640 conceded to Politico's

00:26:45.720 Jonathan Martin

00:26:46.340 that she had certainly

00:26:47.340 made some mistakes

00:26:48.020 during her time

00:26:48.560 as mayor

00:26:48.840 she claimed

00:26:49.560 that the real issue

00:26:50.260 was the fact

00:26:50.760 that people were quicker

00:26:51.540 to pass judgment

00:26:52.360 on a black woman.

00:26:54.280 Quote

00:26:54.460 of course you can't

00:26:55.180 have lived through

00:26:55.880 what we lived through

00:26:56.680 and say I did

00:26:57.240 everything perfect

00:26:57.920 we made mistakes

00:26:58.820 she said

00:26:59.700 pivoting to bring

00:27:00.380 former Mayor

00:27:00.920 Rahm Emanuel's

00:27:01.760 Time Magazine

00:27:02.300 spread into the conversation

00:27:03.280 I remember Rahm Emanuel

00:27:05.000 appearing on the cover

00:27:06.020 of Time Magazine

00:27:06.720 the headline was basically

00:27:07.660 like

00:27:07.980 tough guy for Chicago

00:27:09.480 no woman

00:27:10.620 or woman of color

00:27:11.440 is ever going to get

00:27:12.400 that headline

00:27:13.140 Lightfoot

00:27:15.060 the city's

00:27:15.500 first black

00:27:16.320 female lesbian mayor

00:27:17.300 made a similar complaint

00:27:18.500 during another interview

00:27:19.240 with the New Yorker

00:27:19.940 she said

00:27:20.960 I'm a black woman

00:27:21.680 and let's not forget

00:27:22.480 some folks frankly

00:27:23.540 don't support us

00:27:24.600 in leadership roles

00:27:25.620 then at an interview

00:27:27.460 last year

00:27:28.180 she was

00:27:28.720 singing a similar tune

00:27:30.960 she was asked

00:27:31.440 this question

00:27:31.940 this was the question

00:27:32.600 in recent months

00:27:34.280 there have been

00:27:34.700 questions raised

00:27:35.520 about your temperament

00:27:36.300 and your reaction

00:27:36.940 to criticism

00:27:37.560 Chicago Tribune editorial

00:27:39.280 used the term

00:27:40.120 irascible

00:27:40.920 how much of this

00:27:42.680 do you think

00:27:43.200 has to do with the fact

00:27:44.600 that you're a woman

00:27:45.240 and specifically

00:27:45.760 a black woman

00:27:46.360 her response

00:27:47.520 99% of it

00:27:49.520 look at my predecessors

00:27:50.820 do people say

00:27:51.380 that Rich Daly

00:27:52.500 held tea sessions

00:27:53.700 with people

00:27:54.120 that he didn't

00:27:54.600 disagree on

00:27:55.340 Rahm Emanuel

00:27:56.600 was a polite guy

00:27:58.580 who was a uniter

00:27:59.740 no

00:28:00.120 women and people

00:28:01.860 of color

00:28:02.280 are always held

00:28:03.080 to a different standard

00:28:04.120 I understand that

00:28:05.200 I've known that

00:28:06.180 my whole life

00:28:06.740 and she's right

00:28:09.380 obviously

00:28:09.920 I mean she is right

00:28:10.720 if you are

00:28:13.400 in particular

00:28:16.380 a leftist

00:28:17.480 and then you belong

00:28:18.920 to one of these

00:28:19.680 preferred identity groups

00:28:21.100 absolutely

00:28:22.460 you're held

00:28:22.920 to a different standard

00:28:23.680 a lower one

00:28:25.180 I mean a much

00:28:26.820 lower standard

00:28:27.560 that's what makes

00:28:28.300 these claims so ridiculous

00:28:29.260 because they are

00:28:30.740 as always

00:28:31.200 the opposite

00:28:31.800 of what's actually true

00:28:32.640 Lightfoot says

00:28:33.640 oh can you imagine

00:28:34.540 can you imagine

00:28:35.400 a magazine cover

00:28:36.440 celebrating a black woman

00:28:37.760 uh yes

00:28:39.840 because that's like

00:28:42.680 every magazine cover

00:28:44.060 oh do you mean

00:28:44.920 every magazine cover

00:28:46.240 for the past

00:28:47.240 10 years

00:28:48.260 just about

00:28:49.380 I mean a magazine cover

00:28:52.740 celebrating a white man

00:28:53.840 that's what's rare

00:28:54.380 these days

00:28:54.660 I'm actually

00:28:55.000 I'm surprised

00:28:55.740 the time magazine

00:28:56.380 did that

00:28:56.840 for Rahm Emanuel

00:28:57.520 he's a democrat

00:29:00.140 so you know

00:29:00.900 he makes it through

00:29:02.180 based on that

00:29:02.900 but the rare thing

00:29:05.280 is to see

00:29:05.760 a white male

00:29:06.520 being celebrated

00:29:07.180 by the media

00:29:08.160 at all

00:29:08.760 um

00:29:10.580 to see a black woman

00:29:12.340 or someone who belongs

00:29:13.260 to one of these groups

00:29:14.100 being celebrated

00:29:14.700 that's

00:29:15.060 that's

00:29:15.480 that's

00:29:16.000 every day

00:29:16.660 I mean that is

00:29:17.280 literally

00:29:18.040 every day

00:29:19.040 that's

00:29:19.340 that

00:29:19.580 talk about 99%

00:29:21.040 that's 99%

00:29:22.300 of what the media

00:29:23.540 in Hollywood turns out

00:29:24.500 but also note this

00:29:27.600 and this goes

00:29:28.320 this goes to a point

00:29:29.040 that I made

00:29:29.340 at the end of the show

00:29:29.780 yesterday

00:29:30.140 um

00:29:31.940 one of the guys

00:29:32.820 who beat her

00:29:33.560 Brandon Johnson

00:29:34.580 is black

00:29:36.480 okay

00:29:37.280 he's a black guy

00:29:38.420 and not only that

00:29:40.340 but

00:29:40.640 he

00:29:41.240 she was

00:29:41.760 she was

00:29:42.260 uh

00:29:43.020 defeated by

00:29:43.940 a black man

00:29:44.720 at the hands

00:29:47.260 of voters

00:29:48.040 who were

00:29:48.960 also

00:29:49.720 uh

00:29:50.720 a large percentage

00:29:51.680 of them

00:29:52.040 black

00:29:52.520 this is Chicago

00:29:53.480 we're talking about

00:29:54.260 so a lot of

00:29:55.900 black voters

00:29:56.840 voted for a black

00:29:58.260 person

00:29:58.780 instead of

00:29:59.400 Lori Lightfoot

00:30:00.100 and she

00:30:00.820 blames

00:30:01.220 racism

00:30:01.920 well remember

00:30:04.140 what I said

00:30:04.540 yesterday

00:30:04.900 personal complaints

00:30:06.580 are disguised

00:30:08.280 as group

00:30:08.700 complaints

00:30:09.220 that's the game

00:30:10.240 here

00:30:10.620 okay

00:30:12.320 every time

00:30:13.440 you hear

00:30:13.960 a leftist

00:30:14.820 who belongs

00:30:15.280 to one of

00:30:15.660 these supposedly

00:30:16.120 marginalized groups

00:30:17.060 complaining about

00:30:18.620 um

00:30:19.140 about the

00:30:20.800 the treatment

00:30:21.500 of the group

00:30:22.420 in almost

00:30:23.540 every case

00:30:24.500 this person

00:30:26.060 is really

00:30:26.580 complaining

00:30:27.060 about how

00:30:27.760 they

00:30:28.480 personally

00:30:29.320 are being

00:30:29.760 treated

00:30:29.980 or how

00:30:30.580 they perceive

00:30:31.360 their own

00:30:32.140 treatment

00:30:32.580 that's what's

00:30:34.440 actually happening

00:30:35.220 so when you

00:30:37.800 hear

00:30:38.060 how could you

00:30:38.620 do this

00:30:38.960 to us

00:30:39.420 what it

00:30:40.260 really means

00:30:41.000 every time

00:30:42.000 is how

00:30:42.740 could you

00:30:43.020 do this

00:30:43.320 to me

00:30:43.800 which is

00:30:46.040 why

00:30:46.360 Lori Lightfoot

00:30:47.080 is not

00:30:47.480 going to

00:30:47.720 take any

00:30:48.180 solace

00:30:48.660 in the

00:30:48.900 fact

00:30:49.240 you know

00:30:49.700 that

00:30:50.060 another

00:30:52.260 quote unquote

00:30:53.660 person of

00:30:54.260 color

00:30:54.560 defeated her

00:30:55.380 and if

00:30:56.480 that person

00:30:56.900 is elected

00:30:57.400 that's not

00:30:59.080 going to

00:30:59.220 stop her

00:30:59.500 from claiming

00:30:59.860 discrimination

00:31:00.460 because she

00:31:02.720 doesn't care

00:31:03.180 whether

00:31:03.500 black people

00:31:04.480 or a black

00:31:05.120 person

00:31:05.500 becomes

00:31:05.840 mayor

00:31:06.080 she doesn't

00:31:06.320 care about

00:31:06.660 that

00:31:06.920 she wants

00:31:07.620 herself

00:31:08.120 to be

00:31:08.480 mayor

00:31:08.720 there is

00:31:10.280 one specific

00:31:11.380 black

00:31:11.800 individual

00:31:12.320 that Lori

00:31:12.940 Lightfoot

00:31:13.340 is concerned

00:31:13.960 about

00:31:14.280 and it's

00:31:15.080 her

00:31:15.340 it's not

00:31:16.000 anyone

00:31:16.380 else

00:31:16.820 next we

00:31:18.800 had Biden

00:31:19.360 gave a

00:31:19.800 speech yesterday

00:31:20.340 it gave rise

00:31:21.100 to another

00:31:21.460 clip of

00:31:22.040 Biden

00:31:22.400 mumbling

00:31:22.800 incoherently

00:31:23.640 at least

00:31:25.080 that's what

00:31:25.300 people are

00:31:25.580 saying on

00:31:25.920 social media

00:31:26.440 this clip

00:31:26.840 is being

00:31:27.060 passed around

00:31:27.620 as another

00:31:28.000 Biden

00:31:28.400 word salad

00:31:29.140 let's listen

00:31:30.560 to it

00:31:31.740 by the way

00:31:38.140 you docs

00:31:39.800 are good

00:31:40.300 but if there's

00:31:40.680 any angels

00:31:41.240 in heaven

00:31:41.580 they're all

00:31:41.960 nurses

00:31:42.300 male and

00:31:42.780 female

00:31:43.060 you know

00:31:44.240 why

00:31:44.620 you guys

00:31:45.820 let us

00:31:46.200 you guys

00:31:46.760 make us

00:31:47.200 allow us

00:31:48.120 to live

00:31:48.560 nurses

00:31:49.860 make you

00:31:50.340 one of

00:31:50.660 it

00:31:50.840 you know

00:31:53.220 I don't

00:31:53.460 do this

00:31:53.680 often

00:31:53.960 I gotta

00:31:54.260 defend

00:31:54.540 Biden

00:31:54.820 on this

00:31:55.140 one

00:31:55.300 it did

00:31:55.740 take

00:31:55.960 I had

00:31:56.240 to listen

00:31:56.460 to it

00:31:56.640 three or

00:31:56.820 four times

00:31:57.160 but once

00:31:58.180 you get

00:31:58.440 it's like

00:31:59.800 an optical

00:32:00.120 illusion

00:32:00.500 type of

00:32:00.920 thing

00:32:01.180 and once

00:32:01.720 you

00:32:01.940 you don't

00:32:02.320 see it

00:32:02.560 at first

00:32:03.000 glance

00:32:03.740 but once

00:32:04.160 you see

00:32:04.540 it

00:32:04.660 it becomes

00:32:05.040 obvious

00:32:05.480 and so

00:32:06.720 what he

00:32:07.140 said is

00:32:07.980 you docs

00:32:08.940 are good

00:32:09.460 but if

00:32:09.800 there's

00:32:10.000 any

00:32:10.220 angels

00:32:10.640 in heaven

00:32:11.060 they're

00:32:11.280 all

00:32:11.520 nurses

00:32:11.900 male and

00:32:12.400 female

00:32:12.700 you know

00:32:13.100 why

00:32:13.440 you guys

00:32:13.920 allow us

00:32:14.340 to live

00:32:14.620 the nurses

00:32:14.980 make us

00:32:15.480 want to

00:32:15.900 live

00:32:16.120 now say

00:32:17.860 what you

00:32:18.020 want about

00:32:18.300 that sentiment

00:32:18.860 the sentiment

00:32:19.560 itself

00:32:19.820 doesn't make

00:32:20.200 a whole

00:32:20.380 lot of

00:32:20.580 sense

00:32:20.720 but that

00:32:21.060 is

00:32:21.220 that's

00:32:21.440 what he

00:32:21.620 said

00:32:21.760 so

00:32:22.220 it

00:32:23.920 you know

00:32:24.680 it's

00:32:25.840 it is

00:32:26.340 to say

00:32:27.040 that that

00:32:27.340 was indecipherable

00:32:28.320 word salad

00:32:29.000 is not

00:32:30.500 fair

00:32:30.840 it was

00:32:31.640 decipherable

00:32:32.600 word salad

00:32:33.220 it can be

00:32:33.880 deciphered

00:32:34.160 it takes

00:32:34.340 a little bit

00:32:34.620 of time

00:32:34.980 but you

00:32:35.760 can decipher

00:32:36.220 it

00:32:36.420 I thought

00:32:37.420 that this

00:32:37.800 clip

00:32:37.980 from the

00:32:38.240 same

00:32:38.460 speech

00:32:38.900 I thought

00:32:40.020 that this

00:32:40.380 clip

00:32:40.620 was

00:32:40.960 more

00:32:41.820 much

00:32:42.420 more

00:32:42.700 disturbing

00:32:43.200 even though

00:32:43.620 you can

00:32:43.840 understand

00:32:44.180 the words

00:32:44.600 that are

00:32:44.780 coming out

00:32:45.040 of his

00:32:45.220 mouth

00:32:45.520 you kind

00:32:47.500 of wish

00:32:47.720 that you

00:32:47.980 hadn't

00:32:48.400 based on

00:32:48.820 what he

00:32:49.020 says

00:32:49.220 listen

00:32:49.460 and I

00:32:51.200 had a

00:32:51.440 nurse

00:32:51.700 named

00:32:51.960 Pearl

00:32:52.220 Nelson

00:32:52.580 military

00:32:53.120 she'd

00:32:54.320 come in

00:32:54.640 and do

00:32:54.900 things

00:32:55.220 that I

00:32:55.460 don't

00:32:55.720 think

00:32:55.960 you'll

00:32:56.140 learn

00:32:56.300 in

00:32:56.440 medical

00:32:56.700 nursing

00:32:57.500 school

00:32:57.940 she'd

00:32:59.320 whisper

00:32:59.620 in my

00:32:59.980 ear

00:33:00.320 I

00:33:00.640 couldn't

00:33:01.140 understand

00:33:01.520 her

00:33:01.700 she'd

00:33:01.940 lean

00:33:02.620 down

00:33:03.060 she'd

00:33:04.100 breathe

00:33:04.740 to make

00:33:05.300 sure

00:33:05.540 there was

00:33:06.640 a connection

00:33:07.120 a human

00:33:07.460 connection

00:33:08.000 she even

00:33:09.080 went home

00:33:09.800 and brought

00:33:10.220 back her

00:33:10.800 pillow

00:33:11.200 from her

00:33:11.680 own bed

00:33:12.220 because

00:33:12.600 she didn't

00:33:12.980 knew

00:33:13.240 the one

00:33:13.540 I had

00:33:13.900 the one

00:33:14.160 comfortable

00:33:14.600 but I'm

00:33:15.880 not joking

00:33:16.460 what

00:33:18.820 I could

00:33:20.780 understand

00:33:21.420 I could

00:33:21.720 basically

00:33:22.040 understand

00:33:22.680 the story

00:33:23.680 that he

00:33:23.920 was telling

00:33:24.340 but the

00:33:24.740 question

00:33:25.120 is

00:33:25.540 why

00:33:26.780 he was

00:33:27.180 telling

00:33:27.440 that

00:33:27.840 and then

00:33:29.660 it raises

00:33:30.300 a whole

00:33:30.500 bunch

00:33:30.680 of other

00:33:30.900 questions

00:33:31.280 that we

00:33:31.820 don't

00:33:31.960 even

00:33:32.080 want to

00:33:32.300 think

00:33:32.420 about

00:33:32.620 so

00:33:32.760 when it

00:33:33.960 comes to

00:33:34.240 Joe Biden

00:33:34.740 that pretty

00:33:35.300 much

00:33:35.640 encompasses

00:33:36.700 everything

00:33:37.160 that he

00:33:37.480 says

00:33:37.700 it's

00:33:37.880 either

00:33:38.080 you

00:33:38.300 can't

00:33:38.700 understand

00:33:39.080 it

00:33:39.460 at all

00:33:39.960 or you

00:33:41.540 can

00:33:42.060 but you

00:33:43.100 wish you

00:33:43.540 couldn't

00:33:44.280 that's

00:33:45.200 always what

00:33:45.500 it comes

00:33:45.660 down to

00:33:45.940 this is

00:33:48.320 I want to

00:33:49.680 read this

00:33:49.960 story to

00:33:50.320 you from

00:33:50.560 Fox News

00:33:51.320 I want you

00:33:52.780 to listen

00:33:53.020 to the

00:33:53.320 story

00:33:53.680 and also

00:33:55.440 the words

00:33:56.800 that are

00:33:56.980 being used

00:33:57.520 to report

00:33:58.600 the story

00:33:59.020 by Fox

00:33:59.740 Hannah

00:34:01.500 Tubbs

00:34:02.500 as James

00:34:03.180 Tubbs

00:34:03.720 discussed

00:34:04.140 a shift

00:34:04.600 in gender

00:34:05.100 identity

00:34:05.500 as part

00:34:05.880 of a

00:34:06.120 jailhouse

00:34:06.720 phone call

00:34:07.380 regarding

00:34:07.760 the defense

00:34:08.220 lawyer strategy

00:34:08.940 on how

00:34:09.300 the convicted

00:34:09.860 child molester

00:34:10.600 was being

00:34:11.060 housed

00:34:11.700 prior to a

00:34:12.800 guilty plea

00:34:13.280 in Los

00:34:13.580 Angeles

00:34:14.000 according to

00:34:14.560 law enforcement

00:34:15.140 sources with

00:34:15.720 knowledge of

00:34:16.280 the call

00:34:16.720 Tubbs is

00:34:18.640 also

00:34:19.040 speaking of

00:34:20.420 indecipherable

00:34:20.960 that's a

00:34:21.840 heck of a

00:34:22.620 run on sentence

00:34:23.220 to start with

00:34:23.740 but anyway

00:34:24.060 Tubbs is also

00:34:25.120 an accused

00:34:25.540 murderer who

00:34:26.100 allegedly began

00:34:26.820 identifying as

00:34:27.460 female only

00:34:28.060 after being

00:34:28.640 arrested in

00:34:38.080 California

00:34:38.520 Idaho and

00:34:39.380 Washington

00:34:39.820 and pleaded

00:34:40.300 guilty in the

00:34:40.940 case last

00:34:41.380 year and

00:34:42.300 involved an

00:34:45.260 on New

00:34:45.800 Year's Day

00:34:46.240 in 2014

00:34:47.480 so

00:34:47.900 you've probably

00:34:51.000 heard of this

00:34:51.560 case

00:34:52.540 this Hannah

00:34:53.440 quote unquote

00:34:54.360 Hannah Tubbs

00:34:55.080 what's his real

00:34:55.540 name again

00:34:55.900 James Tubbs

00:34:56.820 so James

00:34:57.940 Tubbs

00:34:58.360 child molester

00:34:59.220 convicted

00:35:01.120 criminal

00:35:01.640 gets arrested

00:35:03.820 and then

00:35:04.860 discovers his

00:35:06.420 true female

00:35:07.360 identity and

00:35:08.040 this is all a

00:35:08.620 scheme to get

00:35:09.240 housed with

00:35:10.020 with not just

00:35:12.020 women but

00:35:12.400 underage girls

00:35:13.240 going back to

00:35:15.180 the Fox

00:35:15.520 report

00:35:16.180 but now

00:35:17.760 Shaya

00:35:18.120 Sana the

00:35:18.760 Los Angeles

00:35:19.200 prosecutor who

00:35:19.900 led the

00:35:21.160 case has been

00:35:21.760 suspended for

00:35:22.340 five days without

00:35:23.020 pay for

00:35:23.420 allegedly

00:35:23.740 misgendering and

00:35:24.820 dead naming

00:35:25.480 Tubbs by

00:35:26.600 raising concerns

00:35:27.280 that the repeat

00:35:27.720 offender may

00:35:28.740 have just been

00:35:29.420 pretending to

00:35:30.100 identify as

00:35:30.660 female to have

00:35:31.220 an easier

00:35:31.640 situation in

00:35:32.380 lockup

00:35:32.840 as Fox News

00:35:33.980 Digital reported

00:35:34.520 Friday

00:35:34.960 Sana has

00:35:35.980 argued in the

00:35:36.520 past that

00:35:36.960 jailhouse phone

00:35:37.600 calls show

00:35:38.060 that Tubbs

00:35:38.500 now 27

00:35:39.160 was attempting

00:35:40.060 to use gender

00:35:40.740 identity to game

00:35:41.620 the justice

00:35:42.100 system an

00:35:42.740 argument that

00:35:43.220 sources say

00:35:43.820 made others

00:35:44.600 in Gascon's

00:35:45.440 DA Gascon's

00:35:46.540 office uncomfortable

00:35:47.320 and led to the

00:35:47.820 suspension

00:35:48.180 however a

00:35:49.720 previously

00:35:49.960 undisclosed

00:35:50.480 January 5th

00:35:51.060 2021 jailhouse

00:35:52.120 phone call

00:35:52.680 recording

00:35:53.600 captured the

00:35:56.420 first conversation

00:35:57.280 between the

00:35:57.800 newly minted

00:35:58.440 Hannah Tubbs

00:35:59.080 and her

00:35:59.980 father according

00:36:01.300 to law enforcement

00:36:01.980 sources

00:36:02.540 hey Hannah

00:36:04.600 the father says

00:36:05.240 at the start

00:36:05.620 of the call

00:36:06.020 according to

00:36:06.660 the sources

00:36:07.020 huh Tubbs

00:36:08.060 replies

00:36:08.460 Hannah the

00:36:09.240 father repeats

00:36:09.840 Tubbs replies

00:36:10.940 with a confused

00:36:11.500 yes according

00:36:12.460 to the sources

00:36:12.900 and the father

00:36:13.820 explains he had

00:36:14.560 spoken to the

00:36:15.040 defense attorney

00:36:15.520 who called him

00:36:16.600 and said she

00:36:17.040 represents Hannah

00:36:17.860 I was like who

00:36:19.220 he replies again

00:36:19.980 with a laugh

00:36:20.760 okay so there's a

00:36:22.340 jailhouse phone

00:36:22.900 call where

00:36:23.620 you could you

00:36:24.900 could tell

00:36:25.360 first of all

00:36:25.880 that this was

00:36:26.380 uh that based

00:36:27.420 on the conversation

00:36:27.920 between the

00:36:28.320 father and

00:36:29.240 uh James Tubbs

00:36:31.280 that this was a

00:36:32.260 that this was an

00:36:32.880 identity that was

00:36:33.420 just invented

00:36:33.960 now the father's

00:36:35.000 playing along with

00:36:35.780 it um

00:36:36.880 in a in a

00:36:38.360 scheme to get

00:36:39.080 this child

00:36:39.940 molester housed

00:36:40.840 with uh with uh

00:36:41.700 with girls

00:36:42.160 but here's the

00:36:44.820 point um Fox

00:36:47.580 News article

00:36:48.420 refers to

00:36:51.220 Hannah Tubbs

00:36:52.300 as a her

00:36:53.180 that's what the

00:36:54.120 article does on

00:36:54.800 Fox News

00:36:55.260 now there have

00:36:57.420 actually been a

00:36:57.840 lot of there's

00:36:59.380 been Fox has

00:37:00.140 been on top of

00:37:00.620 this case and

00:37:01.060 has been reporting

00:37:01.600 it quite a bit

00:37:02.100 in fact most of

00:37:02.680 what I've heard

00:37:03.080 about this Hannah

00:37:03.840 Tubbs James

00:37:04.560 Tubbs case has

00:37:05.420 been from Fox

00:37:06.120 News

00:37:06.300 Fox News

00:37:06.800 um and there

00:37:09.820 are many other

00:37:10.220 examples of this

00:37:10.860 that I could

00:37:11.200 read but I

00:37:11.600 won't bother

00:37:12.040 every single

00:37:13.380 article it's

00:37:14.360 the same deal

00:37:15.000 they use the

00:37:17.100 her and the

00:37:18.100 she in the

00:37:19.080 article

00:37:19.400 now obviously

00:37:21.860 it's insane

00:37:22.800 and evil that

00:37:23.820 this scumbag

00:37:24.580 predator pedophile

00:37:25.680 is able to

00:37:26.800 have his

00:37:27.360 supposed gender

00:37:28.360 identity respected

00:37:29.540 by the court

00:37:30.100 system um and

00:37:31.980 the people are

00:37:32.340 getting suspended

00:37:33.260 for correctly

00:37:34.180 gendering not

00:37:35.080 misgendering correctly

00:37:36.280 gendering this

00:37:37.180 child molesting

00:37:37.920 piece of filth

00:37:38.660 but also the

00:37:41.260 fact that Fox

00:37:41.860 News an alleged

00:37:42.540 conservative outlet

00:37:43.440 while reporting

00:37:46.260 while reporting on

00:37:47.680 the fact that the

00:37:48.360 guy is gaming the

00:37:49.260 system by identifying

00:37:50.200 as trans they're

00:37:51.480 the ones telling

00:37:52.160 us this and yet

00:37:53.900 they still respect

00:37:55.180 the female pronouns

00:37:56.400 what they're saying

00:37:58.560 is none of this

00:37:59.600 is real he's

00:38:00.240 pretending or no

00:38:01.480 none of this is

00:38:02.140 real she is

00:38:03.940 pretending well

00:38:04.960 then why are you

00:38:05.540 using the she

00:38:06.280 now I have an

00:38:09.600 issue in the first

00:38:10.300 place with drawing

00:38:11.080 this distinction

00:38:11.760 between men who

00:38:13.340 are just pretending

00:38:15.040 to identify as

00:38:16.140 women and men who

00:38:17.280 actually identify as

00:38:18.660 women that's a

00:38:19.640 distinction without a

00:38:20.300 difference because

00:38:22.100 in both cases

00:38:22.860 they're not actually

00:38:24.020 women so really

00:38:26.080 the only the only

00:38:26.640 question is are

00:38:27.500 they consciously

00:38:29.100 lying or are

00:38:32.260 they deeply

00:38:34.400 deeply confused

00:38:35.920 about their own

00:38:36.920 identity

00:38:37.500 in either case

00:38:41.160 it doesn't change

00:38:41.900 the reality of the

00:38:42.800 situation

00:38:43.280 so drawing this

00:38:45.400 distinction between

00:38:46.280 well that's a

00:38:47.320 pretend trans person

00:38:48.620 and an actual

00:38:49.540 trans person

00:38:50.340 there is no such

00:38:52.640 thing as an actual

00:38:54.320 trans person as in

00:38:55.720 a person who

00:38:56.200 actually transcends

00:38:58.220 the gender binary

00:39:00.800 or a person who

00:39:02.220 actually you know

00:39:03.720 belongs to one

00:39:05.160 biological category

00:39:06.180 but somehow is in

00:39:07.900 this other biological

00:39:08.660 category that doesn't

00:39:09.760 exist there's no

00:39:10.580 actual there

00:39:11.280 so I don't agree

00:39:14.280 with the distinction

00:39:14.920 but it's just very

00:39:16.680 interesting to me

00:39:17.640 that Fox News

00:39:18.500 they make this

00:39:19.540 distinction and

00:39:20.260 even then they

00:39:21.600 still respect the

00:39:22.820 pronoun and you

00:39:24.340 find this with

00:39:25.260 quite a lot of

00:39:26.780 so-called

00:39:27.620 what we call

00:39:29.840 what qualifies

00:39:31.200 apparently as

00:39:31.820 conservative or

00:39:32.660 right-wing media

00:39:33.480 even reporting a

00:39:35.680 case like this

00:39:36.540 New York Post is

00:39:40.260 another example

00:39:40.880 like it says a

00:39:41.460 reputation of being

00:39:42.240 right-wing or

00:39:42.920 conservative which it

00:39:43.700 really isn't

00:39:44.340 but they report on

00:39:45.920 cases like this all

00:39:46.840 the time about men

00:39:48.900 who are being housed

00:39:49.880 with women in

00:39:51.160 women's prisons and

00:39:52.260 all the rest of it

00:39:52.900 still respect the

00:39:54.000 pronouns

00:39:54.260 you are participating

00:39:56.380 in the lie

00:39:57.640 and as long if

00:40:00.860 you're going to

00:40:01.160 continue doing that

00:40:02.020 then the reporting

00:40:02.820 is worthless

00:40:03.760 okay you're exposing

00:40:05.800 the lie but you're

00:40:06.740 participating in it

00:40:07.840 and and affirming

00:40:10.120 it at the exact same

00:40:11.060 time which is it

00:40:12.800 are you going to be

00:40:14.840 honest in your

00:40:15.400 reporting or not

00:40:16.060 that's what you have

00:40:16.580 to decide

00:40:16.960 let's get to the

00:40:18.320 comment section

00:40:18.800 Rachel says my son

00:40:34.220 just got home from

00:40:34.820 his day at our

00:40:35.380 local college the

00:40:36.320 first thing he said

00:40:37.020 was I need to turn

00:40:38.260 on Matt Walsh to

00:40:39.060 calm down the

00:40:39.940 wokeness of his

00:40:40.480 professor was driving

00:40:41.280 him crazy well

00:40:41.860 son has a good head

00:40:43.700 on his shoulder so I

00:40:44.540 think he'll do okay

00:40:45.340 that's a very

00:40:47.240 I'm biased but I

00:40:48.480 would say that's a

00:40:49.020 very encouraging

00:40:49.600 sign

00:40:50.020 Jack says my wife

00:40:53.000 and I moved about

00:40:53.540 750 miles last

00:40:54.840 year and we were

00:40:55.580 going to bring our

00:40:56.260 cats and our baby

00:40:57.220 in a plane to make

00:40:58.460 the move quicker and

00:40:59.340 easier on us but I

00:41:00.140 came to the same

00:41:00.620 conclusion as Matt

00:41:01.440 planes are for

00:41:02.020 people so I found a

00:41:02.920 way to load the

00:41:03.540 cats up in the back

00:41:04.260 of my car and I

00:41:04.940 endured the torment

00:41:05.600 of listening to

00:41:06.100 them howl for 13

00:41:07.020 hours rather than

00:41:08.260 making a hundred

00:41:08.780 strangers listen to

00:41:09.740 them for two

00:41:10.360 hours

00:41:10.740 you this this is

00:41:15.360 exactly I want to

00:41:17.140 give you credit for

00:41:17.680 the sacrifice that

00:41:18.320 you made but I'm

00:41:19.820 sure you understand

00:41:20.320 Jack that I can't

00:41:21.240 do that because you

00:41:21.920 simply this is you

00:41:23.460 you you did the

00:41:24.700 right thing this was

00:41:26.640 your obligation and I

00:41:29.540 wish that more people

00:41:30.380 would be willing to do

00:41:31.160 that and if you're not

00:41:34.640 and if you say well

00:41:35.380 it's not worth it to

00:41:36.240 drive 13 hours for my

00:41:37.460 pets well then maybe

00:41:38.200 you shouldn't have

00:41:38.540 pets

00:41:38.800 okay if you're

00:41:41.700 gonna put if your

00:41:42.620 convenience is so

00:41:43.780 important I'm not

00:41:44.920 saying this to you

00:41:45.400 because you understand

00:41:45.900 this but everyone

00:41:46.360 else if your

00:41:47.780 convenience is so

00:41:48.580 important that you

00:41:51.540 know for the sake of

00:41:53.080 your convenience you're

00:41:54.420 going to have to

00:41:55.380 expose everyone else

00:41:56.560 to your pet your

00:41:57.580 animal and make them

00:41:58.460 listen to the sounds

00:41:59.740 and of your animal

00:42:00.860 and smell your pet on

00:42:02.300 a plane because your

00:42:03.880 convenience is that

00:42:04.760 important it's more

00:42:07.200 important than your

00:42:07.800 pet that maybe you

00:42:08.400 shouldn't be a pet

00:42:08.820 owner

00:42:09.300 Nick says I walked

00:42:12.660 into Lowe's Home

00:42:13.360 Improvement the other

00:42:13.960 day and a couple had

00:42:14.920 two large dogs with

00:42:16.200 them they weren't

00:42:16.780 seeing eye dogs and

00:42:17.720 it was really annoying

00:42:18.560 I actually had to go

00:42:19.240 out of my way down an

00:42:20.920 aisle to avoid

00:42:21.660 tripping over the dog

00:42:22.540 leashes the owner

00:42:23.680 showed no mind

00:42:24.640 disrespect is what it

00:42:26.600 is yeah it's also

00:42:28.600 I've noticed this too

00:42:29.620 it's like the dogs we

00:42:31.080 already know that

00:42:31.660 they're brought on

00:42:32.160 planes all the time

00:42:33.020 but now more and more

00:42:34.680 you know these stores

00:42:37.180 big box stores are

00:42:38.200 allowing you to bring

00:42:39.100 your pet in that's

00:42:39.900 one thing if we're

00:42:40.280 talking about Petco or

00:42:41.220 something that it makes

00:42:41.960 sense but a hardware

00:42:42.880 store why do you got to

00:42:44.020 bring your pet in and if

00:42:47.200 it's an actual now there

00:42:48.740 are people who have

00:42:50.620 actual disabilities and so

00:42:53.140 they have service animals

00:42:54.460 and that's a that's a real

00:42:55.720 thing I respect that but I

00:42:59.100 would be even more in

00:43:00.100 though if I was someone who

00:43:01.080 had a disability where I

00:43:01.840 actually needed a service

00:43:02.640 animal a dog it's like the

00:43:04.120 only legitimate service

00:43:04.940 animal I'd be even more

00:43:07.980 annoyed by this because

00:43:10.900 now I'm getting lumped in

00:43:12.280 I get all these people

00:43:12.880 abusing the system and so

00:43:14.260 I'm getting lumped in with

00:43:15.140 them when I have a

00:43:16.000 legitimate reason to have

00:43:18.280 the service animal

00:43:18.940 Gage says I agree with Matt

00:43:23.080 about the babies crying

00:43:24.180 except for one public place

00:43:25.640 and that's the movie

00:43:26.500 theaters please do not

00:43:28.400 bring babies to the movies

00:43:29.660 yeah well the movies there

00:43:31.660 are a number of places where

00:43:33.240 people should not have to

00:43:34.180 hear your baby cry at all

00:43:35.840 now as I said yesterday I'm

00:43:36.900 much more tolerant of

00:43:39.900 listening to babies cry

00:43:40.840 because that is the price

00:43:41.880 of living in a human

00:43:42.920 society people have

00:43:44.040 children families exist

00:43:45.200 this is all a very good

00:43:46.200 thing it's all very good

00:43:47.720 and so part of that is

00:43:48.900 you're going to hear the

00:43:49.880 noises of babies and

00:43:51.040 children and if you have

00:43:53.280 no tolerance for that

00:43:54.400 whatsoever then that's

00:43:55.060 something wrong there's

00:43:55.720 something wrong with you

00:43:56.500 and your own soul that you

00:43:57.720 can't even tolerate being

00:43:59.200 around children at all but

00:44:01.880 that is very much your own

00:44:02.860 problem we need babies and

00:44:05.820 children to keep society

00:44:06.780 going and we can't expect

00:44:08.060 them to be like totally

00:44:09.560 segregated from polite

00:44:10.820 society until they're old

00:44:12.060 enough where they're not

00:44:12.660 being annoying anymore

00:44:14.280 especially because plenty

00:44:15.340 of adults are much more

00:44:16.380 annoying than any child

00:44:17.300 so that's how I feel but

00:44:19.220 that but there are

00:44:19.860 certainly places where

00:44:21.200 right you shouldn't bring

00:44:22.040 a baby and bring a baby

00:44:23.240 into a movie theater no

00:44:25.020 I would also say bringing

00:44:26.800 a baby into a nice

00:44:27.760 restaurant and by nice

00:44:28.820 restaurant I would kind of

00:44:29.820 I think the cutoff is if

00:44:31.460 it's the kind of

00:44:32.120 restaurant that doesn't

00:44:33.240 have a kids menu it's the

00:44:35.060 kind of restaurant where

00:44:36.000 they're not going to give

00:44:37.240 you a kids menu and a

00:44:38.940 little coloring pad with

00:44:39.980 crayons if it's if it's

00:44:41.580 that kind of restaurant

00:44:42.340 then yeah bring the kids

00:44:43.340 bring all the kids it's

00:44:44.320 it's it's designed for

00:44:46.360 families and it's designed

00:44:47.520 to be kind of loud and all

00:44:48.640 that the kind of restaurant

00:44:50.220 where they would look at

00:44:51.080 you they would look at you

00:44:52.480 like you're crazy if you

00:44:53.380 asked for some crayons that

00:44:54.640 kind of restaurant probably

00:44:56.840 shouldn't bring babies

00:44:57.800 finally Charlie says the

00:44:59.920 cuckoo bleep was hilarious

00:45:01.180 I vote for it staying a

00:45:02.580 good laugh is welcome when

00:45:03.700 talking about so many

00:45:04.680 depressing things I agree

00:45:06.740 I went back and listened to

00:45:07.740 it and it's incredibly

00:45:09.420 stupid but that's what I

00:45:12.640 like it I mean that is

00:45:15.220 hilarious and gives me more

00:45:17.580 reasons to cuss on the

00:45:18.500 podcast to cuss like a

00:45:20.400 damned

00:45:20.740 it was almost a whole year

00:45:24.080 ago that we released my

00:45:25.840 documentary what is a woman

00:45:27.200 and it's a film that we

00:45:29.860 when we were making it we

00:45:31.280 knew that it would have an

00:45:32.300 impact but I have to say

00:45:33.500 that the impact has far

00:45:34.720 exceeded my own

00:45:35.280 expectations especially now

00:45:36.620 with states all across the

00:45:38.820 country passing laws to

00:45:41.600 protect children from gender

00:45:43.120 ideology and all this has

00:45:44.820 happened you know in a very

00:45:47.120 short amount of time so if

00:45:48.660 you have not seen this film

00:45:49.960 yet you gotta head to

00:45:59.240 get to our daily

00:45:59.940 cancellation

00:46:00.380 for our daily cancellation

00:46:05.660 we turn to American Idol

00:46:07.480 most interesting thing about

00:46:09.040 this show is that it is

00:46:10.520 apparently still on the air

00:46:12.180 I don't know if it's

00:46:13.260 indicate it's if it's an

00:46:14.400 indication that I'm out of

00:46:15.680 touch or that American Idol

00:46:16.780 is irrelevant but until this

00:46:18.480 moment I thought American Idol

00:46:19.740 was canceled years ago I

00:46:21.280 suppose that's a false

00:46:22.300 choice however I mean the

00:46:23.200 answer could be and

00:46:24.800 probably is both I'm out of

00:46:26.640 touch and the show is

00:46:28.020 irrelevant be that as it

00:46:29.400 may it was back in the

00:46:30.680 cultural conversation ever

00:46:31.740 so briefly this week but not

00:46:33.020 for anything related to

00:46:33.800 music or singing instead it

00:46:34.940 was the story of one

00:46:36.220 contestant and more

00:46:37.820 specifically a judge's

00:46:39.140 reaction to that story that

00:46:41.560 had people talking watch

00:46:42.820 in May 2018 a gunman walked

00:46:48.820 into my school I was in art

00:46:54.560 room one he shot up art room

00:46:57.280 two before he made his way to

00:47:00.060 art room one lost a lot of

00:47:05.120 friends eight students were

00:47:08.160 killed two teachers were killed

00:47:10.700 and uh it's just really been

00:47:14.220 negative man seeing a face had a

00:47:15.700 bad rap here since 2018 what you

00:47:19.400 doing Katie our country has

00:47:22.120 failed us facts this is not okay

00:47:27.900 you should be singing here because

00:47:30.000 you love music it's true not

00:47:34.960 because you don't have to go

00:47:35.860 through that I agree you don't

00:47:40.700 have to lose eight friends I hope

00:47:44.260 that you remind people that we

00:47:46.600 have to change because you know

00:47:49.060 what I'm scared too it's terrible

00:47:52.960 Katie it's horrible

00:47:54.600 now before we deal with the

00:48:02.920 substance of Katy Perry's response

00:48:04.860 to the extent that it had any

00:48:06.140 substance we cannot ignore the

00:48:07.660 incredible narcissism on display

00:48:09.940 here by her Perry has apparently

00:48:12.520 attended the you know the same

00:48:14.480 training seminars alongside Giselle

00:48:16.700 Fetterman to learn how to make

00:48:17.960 other people's traumas about

00:48:19.700 yourself he is calmly recounting his

00:48:23.040 own horrific experience

00:48:24.160 and Perry uses it as a platform to

00:48:27.300 put this put on this over-the-top

00:48:29.380 emotional performance she even

00:48:32.000 relates it back to herself somehow

00:48:33.820 I'm scared too she says as her

00:48:36.720 fellow judges comfort her they start

00:48:39.140 patting her on the back and

00:48:40.300 comforting her while the kid who

00:48:41.820 was actually in the shooting stands

00:48:44.060 there and watches here's a hint if

00:48:46.700 someone is telling you about

00:48:48.080 something awful that happened to

00:48:49.500 them your response should not

00:48:52.480 contain the words I or me unless

00:48:55.700 you're saying something like I'm so

00:48:58.000 sorry or I'm here for you but if

00:49:00.880 you're attempting to put yourself at

00:49:02.300 the center of this person's suffering

00:49:04.120 or deflect from it so that the focus

00:49:06.360 is on you and your own emotions then

00:49:09.540 you are a classic narcissist and maybe

00:49:12.620 worst of all you're creating an

00:49:13.940 incredibly awkward situation for

00:49:15.860 everyone else who has to be in the

00:49:17.540 room with your lack of self-awareness

00:49:20.000 I can only imagine how

00:49:22.120 uncomfortable it must have been for

00:49:23.080 that young man to be standing there

00:49:24.580 not sure what to say or how to

00:49:26.000 respond as Katy Perry launches into

00:49:27.820 her camera-ready monologue like she's

00:49:29.940 auditioning for a soap opera a

00:49:31.960 monologue that was planned by the way

00:49:33.480 considering that the judges would

00:49:34.700 have known ahead of time that a

00:49:36.440 contestant was coming up who'd been

00:49:38.280 in a mass shooting that fact was

00:49:40.580 certainly conveyed to Katy Perry and

00:49:42.140 her cohorts by the producers before

00:49:44.580 the kid got up on the stage she

00:49:45.780 didn't she didn't you know burst into

00:49:46.940 tears spontaneously she had all this

00:49:49.140 planned in her head ahead of time and

00:49:50.620 I understand that this is a very

00:49:52.560 cynical interpretation of events but

00:49:55.220 I've been around long enough and I've

00:49:56.580 been in media long enough and I've

00:49:57.880 met enough of these sorts of people to

00:50:00.540 justify my cynicism but what about the

00:50:03.680 actual point she was making in her

00:50:05.180 scripted diatribe she says that the

00:50:07.360 country has failed the victims and

00:50:09.260 survivors of this school shooting and

00:50:11.280 of course she means specifically that

00:50:12.400 it failed by not passing enough gun

00:50:14.600 control laws to prevent the shooting

00:50:16.060 from happening never mind that the

00:50:18.020 shooter already broke a dozen

00:50:19.540 different laws in carrying out his

00:50:21.460 crime it's unclear how exactly it

00:50:24.440 would have helped to add one or two

00:50:26.600 more laws onto the pile that the

00:50:28.440 killer was already determined to

00:50:29.880 disregard you can only make an act

00:50:32.840 illegal so many times before the laws

00:50:35.400 start to become redundant and

00:50:37.120 therefore useless yet this is what we

00:50:40.380 so often do in our culture when a bad

00:50:42.160 thing happens we declare that the bad

00:50:44.600 thing is the result of some sort of

00:50:46.120 failure it's always a systemic failure

00:50:49.060 failure of government of policy people

00:50:53.120 like Katy Perry take solace in the idea

00:50:54.900 that all tragedies are policy failures

00:50:57.340 because and really all bad things you

00:50:59.620 know they say poverty is a policy

00:51:01.560 failure too because for one thing it

00:51:04.500 gives them an excuse to push their

00:51:05.860 political agenda obviously but for

00:51:07.120 another it comforts them to think that

00:51:09.180 the right policies if we could finally

00:51:11.200 land on them would banish all the bad

00:51:14.220 things from our midst when Perry says

00:51:16.880 that the country failed because there

00:51:18.360 was a school shooting what she means is

00:51:20.160 that we ought to have a country where

00:51:22.660 there are no shootings at all and she's

00:51:26.500 right in the sense that every mass

00:51:28.460 shooting and every bad thing shouldn't

00:51:30.000 happen that's why it's a very bad thing

00:51:31.680 if there's something that's evil like

00:51:33.200 any evil shouldn't happen but Perry like

00:51:37.300 any other leftist believes that a

00:51:38.660 country without any murder without any

00:51:40.760 bad people doing bad things is

00:51:42.640 actually practically achievable and

00:51:45.460 that it can be achieved through policy

00:51:47.160 the irony of course is that the

00:51:49.760 utopianists who imagine that a world

00:51:51.740 of perfect peace and harmony can really

00:51:53.260 be achieved tend through their

00:51:55.240 policies to create a world that is

00:51:57.080 ever farther away from peace and

00:51:58.800 harmony worlds like the world of

00:52:02.060 Chicago for example people with a with

00:52:05.320 with Katy Perry's worldview run most of

00:52:08.500 our major American cities and most of

00:52:10.120 our major American cities are violent

00:52:11.520 crime and disease ridden hell holes

00:52:13.180 which actually isn't all that ironic

00:52:14.800 when you realize that effective

00:52:16.640 governance means understanding human

00:52:19.060 nature and understanding human nature

00:52:20.720 means acknowledging that bad people

00:52:23.460 will always exist and they will always

00:52:25.520 do bad things you can do a lot you can

00:52:28.100 do a much better job of containing and

00:52:30.000 mitigating the damage but you can only

00:52:32.940 do that once you've acknowledged the

00:52:34.560 fallen state of man and that although you

00:52:36.780 can mitigate the damage and try to

00:52:38.760 contain it there will always be damage

00:52:41.960 to mitigate and contain with all that

00:52:45.760 said it's still true that a school

00:52:48.220 shooting represents a failure in fact

00:52:50.220 it's a whole series of failures but

00:52:53.160 they're mostly the kinds of failures

00:52:54.360 that Katy Perry and her ilk never want

00:52:56.220 to talk about first of all it's a moral

00:52:58.960 failure of the person who carries out

00:53:00.760 the deed people have agency they have

00:53:03.900 free will they choose to do things they

00:53:08.160 should be the first people we blame for

00:53:09.760 the things that they choose to do

00:53:10.760 rather than pinning it on the country

00:53:12.640 and also very often there have been

00:53:18.740 parenting failures that help to produce

00:53:21.460 the sorts of people who would do

00:53:23.240 something like that and failures in a

00:53:26.200 culture which breeds people who have no

00:53:28.020 meaning no purpose in their lives seemingly

00:53:30.420 no capacity for empathy or love these are

00:53:35.240 all failures and they're the kinds of

00:53:37.440 failures we skip over focusing instead on

00:53:39.820 debates over gun control and that itself is

00:53:43.380 also a failure one which only ensures that

00:53:46.700 this kind of thing will keep happening with

00:53:48.840 the same or greater frequency and that is

00:53:52.600 why Katy Perry is today finally canceled and

00:53:57.780 that'll do it for the show today hope you

00:53:59.540 have a great day we'll talk to you tomorrow

00:54:00.800 Godspeed
