Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media has identified the real victims of the massacre
00:00:04.080
of Christian children by a trans shooter. The real victims, of course, are trans people somehow.
00:00:08.860
Meanwhile, Nashville police are refusing to release the shooter's manifesto. Could there
00:00:13.040
possibly be any valid reason to withhold the full truth about this crime from the public?
00:00:18.380
Well, no, absolutely not. Also, the press secretary for the governor of Arizona responded
00:00:22.540
to the shooting with a tweet threatening to kill more quote-unquote transphobes. So far,
00:00:28.040
nobody has apologized or been fired for this. And Josh Hawley calls for a hate crime investigation
00:00:32.420
into the shooting. Even if we think that the hate crime category shouldn't exist as a legal category,
00:00:37.380
can we still demand that this be categorized as one? I think we can. And I'll talk about that
00:00:41.900
and much more today on the Matt Wall Show. Inflation has consequences. The recent surge
00:00:54.380
in gold prices is directly tied to an extremely volatile market. This is why gold has historically
00:00:59.460
been a great hedge against the stock market and against inflation. The only company I trust to
00:01:03.920
help you diversify into gold is Birch Gold Group. Diversification has never been more important.
00:01:08.740
Precious metals will always have inherent value. Gold is a tangible and finite resource uncontrolled
00:01:13.700
by any single government or financial institution. As such, they cannot simply be printed on a government's
00:01:18.500
whim like paper currency can. Birch Gold can help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered
00:01:24.220
IRA in physical precious metals. Text Walsh to 989898 to get a free info kit on gold today.
00:01:30.340
With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless
00:01:33.740
five-star reviews, Birch Gold is the company I trust to protect my future and yours. That's Walsh to 989898
00:01:40.900
today. In many ways, the response from Nashville police to the mass shooting by trans terrorists at
00:01:47.720
a Christian school here in town has been admirable. That starts, of course, with their physical
00:01:53.140
response, their emergency response to the shooting itself. Yesterday, we saw the harrowing body cam
00:01:58.740
footage. A group of officers, obviously well-trained, highly skilled, made their way into the building,
00:02:04.720
clearing rooms as they went, eventually confronting the shooter and quickly dispatching her and
00:02:09.060
neutralizing the threat. Now, we greatly overuse the term hero these days, just like we overuse so
00:02:14.840
many other terms, effectively rendering the labels meaningless. And that's a shame because it's a term that
00:02:20.260
would actually apply in this case to those cops. They are, in every sense, heroes. But then after
00:02:25.780
the shooting, they continued to, the police did, continued to handle the situation with great
00:02:30.680
transparency and forthrightness. The police chief has been direct and clear with his answers during
00:02:36.340
his press conferences. They released the body cam footage. They released the security camera footage
00:02:41.240
of the shooter entering the building. They've provided a lot of information. But there is one glaring
00:02:49.320
omission. And it's an omission that becomes all the more glaring considering how transparent they've
00:02:55.340
been about everything else. The trans shooter wrote a detailed manifesto. And we know about that because
00:03:01.780
the cops told us. Apparently explaining what she was going to do, what her plans were, and why she was
00:03:08.700
doing it. They have not allowed us to see the manifesto. A couple of days later, we still have not seen the
00:03:15.780
manifesto. And according to reports yesterday, we may never see it. This is from the Daily Caller,
00:03:20.800
quote, Nashville police will not be releasing the manifesto of the deceased Covenant School shooting
00:03:25.380
suspect, a police spokesperson told the Daily Caller News Foundation on Tuesday. Nashville Metro Police
00:03:30.960
Department announced that they had found writings from 28-year-old transgender suspect Audrey Hale's home
00:03:35.760
on Monday that indicated a calculated and planned attack, according to an NMPD press release.
00:03:41.920
The police spokesperson told the DCNF Tuesday that the department had no intentions of releasing the
00:03:47.760
documents to the public anytime soon, citing the ongoing investigation into Hale. Quote,
00:03:53.320
no, we will not be releasing the manifesto during an open investigation, the spokesperson said. The
00:03:57.660
police spokesperson did not say for certain whether or not the manifesto would be released in the future
00:04:02.540
after the investigation was closed, and restated that due to the ongoing nature of the situation,
00:04:06.960
there was no intention by law enforcement to release the documents. Well, this is just
00:04:13.360
completely unacceptable and also incoherent. They're investigating a crime committed by a dead
00:04:20.120
assailant, and the person is thankfully dead. There's no conceivable reason, at least not any valid
00:04:26.680
conceivable reason, why that investigation would be impeded by allowing the public to see
00:04:32.240
these documents. Okay, and if, I can't even imagine what it would be, but if there are a couple of
00:04:38.600
things in there that, for some reason, it would, if we, if that was published, it would impede the
00:04:44.140
investigation, then you could talk about redacting certain elements of it. Now, even redacting the
00:04:50.000
documents can be highly problematic. But my point is, they're saying we can't see any of it. We can't see
00:04:57.440
even a single line of it. And that doesn't make any sense. We have a right to know why this happened.
00:05:05.620
Now, the why seems rather obvious, but we should also see it laid out in writing if it was, and
00:05:11.600
apparently it was. And we have a right to know what or who the other targets were supposed to be.
00:05:17.840
We can either, just like with anything else, we can either be left to speculate in the dark,
00:05:23.660
or we can be given the full truth. And as we've seen time and time again, the speculating in the
00:05:30.460
dark option doesn't help anyone. And we know that because this is the option that the powers that be
00:05:37.280
so often choose. Now, when I say it doesn't help anyone, maybe I shouldn't say that because
00:05:44.100
what I mean is that it doesn't help the public. It doesn't serve the best interests of the community.
00:05:48.860
It's not good for society when vital truths are withheld from us, leaving us to speculate and
00:05:55.300
assume and come up with theories. But in this case, it does serve the interests of LGBT activist groups
00:06:02.160
who are actually actively campaigning to prevent the public from ever seeing the manifesto. Newsweek
00:06:08.300
reports, quote, calls for police to release the manifesto that authorities say was written ahead of
00:06:13.000
Monday's Nashville school shooting, has prompted a concern among LGBTQ plus groups who caution
00:06:19.360
against the publication of such a document. Quote, it should not be published. Jordan Budd,
00:06:24.420
the executive director of Children of Lesbians and Gays Everywhere, told Newsweek, the focus should be
00:06:30.160
on how this was able to happen in the first place. There should not be such easy access to deadly
00:06:34.960
weaponry. Charles Moran, the national president of Log Cabin Republicans, a GOP organization that
00:06:40.880
advocates for equal rights for LGBTQ plus Americans, also told Newsweek that there are serious consequences
00:06:46.680
for the public release of the manifesto. Laura McGinnis, a spokesperson for PFLAG, agreed, telling Newsweek
00:06:53.920
that publication of these documents would increase the risk of contagion. She said that while the manifesto
00:06:59.600
would help law enforcement and policymakers identify potential warning signs to prevent future tragedies,
00:07:04.780
ultimately, the contents don't change the outcome of the tragedy. Quote, regardless of the shooter's
00:07:10.520
intentions, the real issue here is the ease of access to deadly weapons in Tennessee and elsewhere.
00:07:14.900
Budd said, adding, quote, all children, no matter who their parents are or how they identify,
00:07:19.600
should feel safe and supported at school. That includes a world free from gun violence.
00:07:25.380
Now, you'll notice, shockingly, that these LGBT groups are mysteriously silent about these kinds of
00:07:32.240
concerns after shootings by white supremacists. I mean, they're more than happy for those manifestos
00:07:37.520
to be published, and they always are. But in this case, they caution against it. The only mildly surprising
00:07:46.140
thing about this is that they haven't really bothered to come up with a plausible excuse for this glaring
00:07:52.580
inconsistency and hypocrisy. Instead, they essentially confess to the truth. They want the discussion around
00:07:59.520
the shooting to remain focused on a politically useful issue like gun control. Don't tell us why this happened,
00:08:05.740
they cry. You know, that'll make it more difficult for us to use the tragedy for political gain.
00:08:11.700
Most of all, they're desperate to protect their victim narrative. This is their most potent political weapon.
00:08:19.360
And more than that, it is the foundation of their entire ideology.
00:08:23.360
They must protect, at all costs, the hallucinatory notion that LGBT people, and in particular trans
00:08:30.960
people, are oppressed and marginalized. And, you know, they're the ones being targeted, not the other
00:08:36.320
way around. A manifesto full of anti-Christian ramblings from a trans terrorist psychopath would
00:08:43.060
be a powerful counterexample to this idea. So powerful that they can't allow it to see the light of day.
00:08:49.700
Of course, even without the manifesto, we still have the simple and terrible fact that a trans mass
00:08:57.160
killer slaughtered children at a Christian school. That's all we need to know, or all we should need
00:09:01.700
to know. Yet the left, helped along by the lack of transparency around the manifesto, is still clinging
00:09:09.000
to its preferred victim narrative. They insist that even though a trans person murdered Christian
00:09:14.700
children, the real victims are trans people. This seems to be the consensus, as you might expect,
00:09:22.000
So about the tragic school shooting that happened today at a private Christian school in Tennessee,
00:09:27.360
the shooter was born a biological female, and they went by he, him on their LinkedIn. So they're
00:09:35.440
painting the narrative that, you know, they're trying to blame transgender people,
00:09:40.580
you know, the whole thing. But every other school shooting that's happened in the last,
00:09:46.060
I don't know, decade, have been white men, and many of them identify as Christians. So let's not go
00:09:52.860
there. But I do want to say that expect more of this kind of chaos and destruction when you bring
00:10:01.120
fascism into this country. The more you don't love people, the more you shame people, the more you
00:10:07.520
treat people like they're untouchable in society, what do you expect people to do? Of course,
00:10:13.820
the shadow inside of them is going to be so angry and retaliate in revenge. That's what happens
00:10:20.640
when you decide to try to control people through legislation, you try to harm people through
00:10:27.560
legislation. It's like the world needs a lot more love, not more hate.
00:10:34.140
No, first of all, all of the school shooters for the last decade have not been white men. And as
00:10:40.700
for your question, what do we expect people to do? What do we expect? What do we expect a trans
00:10:47.400
person to do if she's upset about not being affirmed or whatever? What do we expect? Well,
00:10:52.520
we expect her to not murder children. Let's start there. That is a basic standard of behavior that we
00:11:01.160
hold everyone to. It's not even the bare minimum. I mean, that is a bar so low that it's still sitting
00:11:07.320
on the ground. We expect her to refrain from killing nine-year-olds. We expect a lot more from
00:11:13.440
people, actually. But yes, we do expect to begin with that they act like human beings and not murderous
00:11:18.660
demons. But this has been the prevailing message on the left. Yesterday, we talked about a group of
00:11:23.760
trans activists called the Trans Resistance Network who published a statement claiming
00:11:27.940
that the shooter was a victim of her own shooting. They lamented that, quote,
00:11:32.320
life for transgender people is very difficult and made more difficult in the preceding months
00:11:35.960
by a virtual avalanche of anti-trans legislation. And they reasoned that she felt that she had to
00:11:42.340
commit the shooting in order to, quote, be seen. Now, according to these people also,
00:11:49.900
the shooter's problems are compounded by the fact that she's being posthumously misgendered,
00:11:54.340
along with perhaps the greater problem that she's burning in hell. But along with that,
00:12:02.140
Aiden Hale. That's the name of the Nashville shooter. This video is about to be very uncomfortable
00:12:07.700
for a lot of us. It's very uncomfortable for me to talk about, but we need to talk about it.
00:12:11.800
Aiden did a very horrendous thing. Period, point blank. We need pew pew reform in our country. But the way
00:12:17.900
that the media and the police are misgendering and deadnaming Aiden is quite concerning. It's also
00:12:24.380
concerning that I had to go to the Telegraph from UK to actually get Aiden's chosen name.
00:12:33.020
It's upsetting that constantly it is she, her pronouns. That is incredibly frustrating because
00:12:40.480
even though they did this horrible thing does not mean that we get to do those things. That's a
00:12:46.520
boundary. And we can hold people accountable without being transphobic, even for some of
00:12:51.880
the most horrendous things. So while you're watching this, also watch for transphobia because
00:13:00.540
You know, just to be clear, her dead name is Audrey because she's dead. Thank God. So really,
00:13:08.080
they're both her dead names, I guess. Yeah, she says that even though the shooter murdered children,
00:13:14.220
that doesn't mean that we get to use grammatically correct pronouns in reference to her.
00:13:20.020
Well, actually it does. In fact, we get to use grammatically correct pronouns about people even
00:13:25.000
if they don't commit mass shootings. The mass shooting gives us permission to say lots of other
00:13:30.100
things about her, that she was a monstrous, bloodthirsty, murdering, worthless piece of garbage,
00:13:35.000
for example. But as for the pronouns, we get to do that regardless. Actually, listen to this.
00:13:42.040
Check this out. This is going to shock you. We get to say whatever we want to or about her or you or
00:13:51.440
anyone else. That's what we get to do. What you don't get to do is control our words or our minds.
00:14:01.340
I can say whatever I want about anyone, and I will. And I can say whatever I want about any trans person,
00:14:07.080
and I will. They do not get to dictate anything to me. That's what they don't get to do.
00:14:14.280
I talk about them according to how I see them and what I think about them and according to what is
00:14:21.600
actually true. I don't talk about them according to how they see themselves. I am using the filter of
00:14:27.680
my own mind and of reality. I am not using the filter of their minds. That's the way that this
00:14:36.260
works. But the shooter herself isn't the only trans victim here, according to the left. There
00:14:41.000
have been many headlines like this from ABC, quote, anti-transgender sentiment follows Nashville
00:14:45.880
shooting. Conservative political figures focused on the shooter's reported trans identity.
00:14:50.260
And then this from NBC, fear pervades Tennessee's trans community amid focus on Nashville
00:14:55.560
shooters' gender identity. And here's a bit from that NBC article. It says,
00:14:59.420
within 10 minutes of police saying that the suspect was transgender, the hashtag
00:15:03.280
trans terrorism trended on Twitter. Around the same time, Republican lawmakers,
00:15:07.940
including Senator J.D. Vance and conservative firebrand Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene,
00:15:12.640
insinuated in social media posts that the shooter's gender identity played a role in the shooting.
00:15:16.420
Well, no, that wasn't the, well, they may have insinuated, but actually it began with the police chief
00:15:20.380
who strongly suggested that. Anyway, it says, and by Tuesday morning, the cover of the Rupert Murdoch
00:15:27.880
owned New York Post read, quote, transgender killer targets Christian school. Well, yeah,
00:15:33.160
because that's what happened. Oh, so, so apparently what we're learning here is the New York Post had
00:15:38.440
a headline that's just accurate. I mean, that's exactly what happened. Quote, we're terrified for the
00:15:45.400
LGBTQ community here. Kim Spoon, a trans activist based in Knoxville, Tennessee, said more blood's
00:15:51.300
going to be shed and it's not going to be shed in a school. Denise Sadler, a drag performer who's
00:15:56.140
transgender, said that she had already hired four armed guards before a Monday shooting to secure a
00:16:01.040
drag show that she's hosting at a gay bar in Nashville this weekend. She, with big air quotes
00:16:05.780
around that, by the way, following the anti-trans rhetoric spawned by the shooting. Sadler said,
00:16:10.400
quote, unquote, she is not planning to hire eight. You don't know if the shooter's gender identity is
00:16:15.000
going to trigger a community of people who already hated us to come and try to shoot us to prove a
00:16:19.020
point, Sadler said. At the end of the day, there's a lot of hurt going on. There's a lot of anger going
00:16:23.680
on. There's a lot of confusion going on. Aislinn Bailey, the acting president of Tri-Cities
00:16:29.560
Transgender, a trans-led supporting advocacy group based in Johnson City, Tennessee, said that her,
00:16:34.780
quote, unquote, her initial reaction to news that the suspect was transgender was fear.
00:16:39.260
I knew that as soon as anyone mentioned that, it was immediately going to become the center focus
00:16:43.360
instead of what should be the focus, and that's gun violence in this country, Bailey said.
00:16:49.040
Well, that really sums it up, doesn't it? That sums it up. Six innocent people were massacred,
00:16:54.720
and the first thought, the first thought, the first thing that he thought about,
00:17:00.700
the first thing this trans activist thought about was how this would affect him. His very first thought
00:17:05.460
was concern for himself. After hearing that three children and three school staff members were
00:17:12.780
murdered. Forget about the fact that the fears make no sense, okay? Trans-terrorism should be a
00:17:19.140
cause of concern for those of us who oppose the trans movement, not for trans people themselves.
00:17:26.240
And even aside from that, the narcissism is once again the point. Always points back to that.
00:17:33.180
This is a movement of self-worship and self-obsession, a movement full of people who cannot see beyond
00:17:37.940
themselves, people who cannot see the rest of the world, do not acknowledge the existence, really,
00:17:43.240
of other human beings, because they're constantly staring in the mirror, even if it is oftentimes more
00:17:48.920
of a funhouse mirror. Constantly staring back into their own egos, obsessed with their own emotions
00:17:54.600
and their own need for affirmation. That is what we learn here, though it is a lesson that we have
00:18:00.820
already learned many times. Now let's get to our five headlines. With the current rate of inflation,
00:18:12.120
prices of essential goods are not going to be going down anytime soon. It's more important now
00:18:16.120
than ever to start looking at ways to cut costs. You've heard me talk countless times about supporting

00:19:06.460
Senator Josh Hawley is demanding that the shooting be investigated as a hate crime, and he talked about
00:19:12.820
that yesterday to a reporter. Let's listen to that. This is a hate crime against Christians. This was
00:19:17.440
targeted at a Christian school. It was targeted at Christian children. It was targeted at Christian
00:19:22.200
educators because of their religious affiliation. That's what police have said. This wasn't random.
00:19:26.520
It wasn't just like she chose the shooter, some random school. No, she chose this school because
00:19:31.840
it was a Christian school. The police even said yesterday that she had issues with her own. I
00:19:36.720
think she'd been to the school, hadn't been a student for a while. She had issues with the school
00:19:40.040
itself and presumably their religious doctrine. So all of this is going to come out. This is why we need
00:19:44.780
an investigation, and this needs to be treated for what it is, is a hate crime. And listen,
00:19:48.680
we're seeing this across the country. We're seeing this hateful rhetoric directed at people of faith
00:19:54.880
based on their religious beliefs all over. We're seeing this in Missouri. We're seeing this around
00:19:59.440
the country. We need to be clear about this. You can say whatever you want, but you cannot incite
00:20:03.500
violence. And we need to be clear that this kind of hateful rhetoric that leads to violence has got to
00:20:08.640
be condemned. Federal law explicitly prohibits the targeting of Americans based on their religious
00:20:14.480
affiliation, based on their religious practice or belief. It's in federal law. It's a hate crime.
00:20:19.000
What police have told us in Nashville is that this was targeted, that this was targeted at this
00:20:23.620
Christian school, the Christian students, the Christian employees, and that they believe it was
00:20:28.500
definitely premeditated and there was a deliberate attempt to target the school. That looks like a hate
00:20:33.280
crime to me. We should find out exactly what went into planning this. We should find out what the
00:20:37.700
influences were on the shooter. You know, who influenced this person? What sort of hateful rhetoric
00:20:43.420
contributed to this? And we need to find out the extent of exactly what happened. But above all,
00:20:49.140
we need to be clear that when you target people of faith, that is a hate crime. I hope the White House
00:20:53.960
will condemn this. I hope that everybody will come out and say, this was a hate crime. We have to condemn it.
00:20:59.320
Well, he's obviously correct about this. I mean, completely correct. But the problem always with this
00:21:08.080
subject, what makes it difficult is because the hate crime category shouldn't exist.
00:21:14.740
And I'm pretty sure that, I don't want to speak for him, but I'm pretty sure that Josh Hawley would
00:21:19.160
agree with that. I might be wrong. But at least for me, what I would say is that the hate crime
00:21:25.400
category shouldn't exist. And I've explained many times why that's the case. It's in a lot of ways
00:21:31.620
incoherent. It's intentionally vague. It is intended to be subjective so that the powers that be can
00:21:41.760
decide what qualifies. And it also just assumes the ability, first of all, to be able to discern
00:21:49.960
whether someone was experiencing hate when they committed a crime, which in many cases is impossible
00:21:57.140
because you can't see inside someone's soul. And even if it is clear that there was hate,
00:22:02.720
and it's pretty clear in this case that there was plenty of hate involved, it also assumes that
00:22:07.520
hate is like the worst possible motive for a crime. And that those who are motivated for hatred,
00:22:14.020
you know, by hatred, that is a motivation that is worse than any other motive. For that reason,
00:22:24.540
we have to treat it in this kind of special way. I don't think that's true either.
00:22:29.420
I think people who are motivated by hatred and are motivated to violence are obviously capable of
00:22:35.300
doing horrific things, as we saw this week here. And if they are captured rather than being killed on
00:22:42.180
the spot, they should face the ultimate punishment for it. But there are other things that can also
00:22:47.600
motivate people to commit crimes that are just as heinous. You can be motivated by plain indifference,
00:22:56.240
just your inner emptiness as a human being. And I think there's probably a lot of that going on here as well.
00:23:04.000
You can be motivated by materialism and greed, you know.
00:23:06.720
If it's going in, look at any of these videos that unfortunately are circulating on social media all the time
00:23:13.780
of someone robbing a gas station and just murdering the guy behind the cash register for no reason.
00:23:22.620
What's the motive there? Did he hate the guy standing behind the cash register?
00:23:28.380
But he wanted the money, so there's greed. And he's indifferent to his human life, so there's indifference.
00:23:36.320
If he had killed the guy because he didn't like the color of his skin or because he didn't like
00:23:40.400
a sexual orientation, would that make it worse? No, I'd say it makes it just as evil. And so it should
00:23:47.060
be treated the same. So that's what makes the hate crime category. That's why it shouldn't exist. But
00:23:52.040
it does. It does exist. And because it does exist, because it exists as a legal concept,
00:23:59.740
it must be applied equally. And so we have to insist on that. And that puts us in the
00:24:05.720
awkward position of having to say, well, this category doesn't exist.
00:24:10.380
But since it does, this must also fall into that category.
00:24:21.020
Because if we're going to have this category, then all of the problems with having it only become
00:24:28.300
worse when it is unequally applied, which it is. And the fact that it's so unequally applied,
00:24:35.820
again, is one of the reasons why it shouldn't exist to begin with. But because it does, yes,
00:24:41.920
even if we are ultimately shouting at a brick wall and nothing's going to happen, we must still
00:24:49.560
insist that it be applied equally. And according to the letter of the law, this obviously qualifies.
00:24:57.780
Based on what we already know, even without seeing the manifesto, we've already been told
00:25:00.920
this was a targeted attack against a Christian school, trans person, you know, everything we
00:25:06.100
need to know to, at a minimum, begin to investigate this as a hate crime.
00:25:13.300
This is from the Daily Wire. Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs' spokeswoman was blasted online after
00:25:18.720
she tweeted an image Monday suggesting that transphobes, quote unquote, should be gunned down
00:25:25.120
hours after a woman who identified as transgender killed six people, including three young children
00:25:29.620
inside a Nashville Christian school. The gift taken from the 1980 film Gloria, tweeted by Jocelyn
00:25:35.140
Berry, who's Hobbs' press secretary, showed the actress, Gina Rowlands, wielding two pistols and
00:25:42.120
was captioned, us when we see transphobes. It was posted Monday, even as the nation mourned the
00:25:47.340
murders of three nine-year-old children and three adults. This was, yeah, this was the same day as
00:25:55.880
the shooting. So this is the press secretary for the governor of Arizona. So not some obscure
00:26:02.560
official. This is the press secretary, spokeswoman, tweeting hours after the shooting. It's on the
00:26:07.740
same day, but it's hours later. So she obviously knew about it. Okay. It wasn't like this was tweeted
00:26:13.420
and it would have been an inappropriate tweet regardless, but it wasn't like this was tweeted
00:26:18.700
15 minutes after reports first surfaced of the shooting. And so then there'd be plausible deniability.
00:26:24.720
Maybe she hadn't heard about it yet. In this case, this is hours later. It'd been the top
00:26:29.300
trending topic on Twitter. She's on Twitter. She knows that it happened clearly. And she decides
00:26:35.460
to tweet an image of a person holding a gun with the message, us when we see transphobes.
00:26:43.900
Now we imagine the equivalent, right? Imagine that there is a shooting at a gay club and the press
00:26:51.580
secretary for a Republican governor. Let's say the press secretary for Glenn Youngkin in Virginia,
00:26:59.920
let's just say, tweets out an image the same day that says, you know, of the same image,
00:27:05.580
someone holding a gun. And then the message is us when we see homosexuals. Okay. If that were to
00:27:12.100
happen and it never would, that would happen. It would be, first of all, the lead story on every news
00:27:18.080
broadcast. There would probably be protests in the street. And that person, most importantly,
00:27:23.260
would be fired and denounced within minutes. It wouldn't even take 15 minutes and they would be
00:27:30.860
done. Their career is over. They're not getting any other job in politics or probably anywhere else.
00:27:36.140
They'd be denounced by everybody. And that would be it for them. Only in this case,
00:27:43.260
the tweet remained up for hours. It was finally taken down hours later. Actually, it remained up
00:27:51.900
for over a day. So over 24 hours later, it is, I'm not even sure if it was taken down. In fact,
00:27:59.780
instead, the press secretary put her account on private. So she locked down her account. So we don't even,
00:28:05.120
we're not sure if it was deleted or not, but she locked down her account. And as it stands right
00:28:09.920
now, there's been nothing said about it. The media has mostly ignored it, of course. And as it stands
00:28:17.220
right now, the latest from what I checked, no statement, no nothing. The governor of Arizona,
00:28:23.560
Katie Hobbs, has not addressed it. It's not said anything about it. Hasn't denounced it. This person
00:28:28.000
hasn't been fired. There hasn't been any apology. So what they're hoping they can do is just lock down
00:28:33.900
the account, pretend this isn't happening, and move on from it. Now, it's, as always, not enough
00:28:42.220
to simply point out the double standards. Okay? We can point them out, but then the next step has to
00:28:48.600
be forcing them to comply by the same standard. They're not going to do it on their own. Okay?
00:28:56.600
That's not something that they're just going to decide to do in the interests of fairness.
00:29:00.180
They're not going to say to themselves, well, you know, if this was happening on the other side,
00:29:06.160
this is how we would react. So let's be consistent. Let's have integrity and be consistent here.
00:29:10.920
They're not ever going to say, because they don't have integrity.
00:29:14.480
And the double standard is part of the point here. The hypocrisy is the point.
00:29:19.960
So they're not going to choose on their own to rectify this or hold themselves to the same standard,
00:29:24.360
which means that we have to do it. We have to insist upon it. We have to demand it.
00:29:32.640
And it might take some effort. Okay? Like, this is, in the interest of holding them to their own
00:29:43.320
standards, of getting rid of, rather than just complaining about this double standard,
00:29:46.300
of actually getting rid of it, that means that when something like this happens,
00:29:50.520
we have to be persistent. Which means we don't just, like, send some tweets and it trends for
00:29:58.620
15 minutes and we say, oh, look at the double standard, this is outrageous. And then we move
00:30:02.680
on. If we do that, then nothing changes. We have to be persistent about this. Basically, we have to
00:30:09.220
put Katie Hobbs in a position where she has to decide, do you really want to go to war over this? I
00:30:16.160
mean, is this something you really, to use their expression, they often use and throw it up. Do
00:30:20.280
you really want to die on this hill? Is that actually what you want? Now, we can't actually
00:30:25.980
force her to do the right thing and fire this person. We can't force her to do it. So if she
00:30:31.940
actually wanted to, like, plant her flag on the hill and say, absolutely not. I'm not gonna, you know,
00:30:38.980
I'm standing by my press secretary who tweeted this violent threat after children were just killed.
00:30:46.160
If that's what she's going to do, then fine. But then we should force her to do that.
00:30:51.680
What we can't allow them to do is just ignore it.
00:30:57.220
So that starts by, and we could just start with this. I'll give you the number to the governor's
00:31:02.760
office. In fact, I'll give you the mailing address and the number. And then on the website,
00:31:07.360
there's the fax number. If anyone still sends faxes, if you have a fax machine,
00:31:12.480
then I'll give you that number too. So the mailing address is State Capitol, 1700 West,
00:31:18.240
Washington, Phoenix, Arizona, 85007. And then the phone number is 602-542-4331. 602-542-4331.
00:31:32.300
And if you are listening to this through some time warp from the year 1995, and you have a fax
00:31:37.960
machine, 602-542-7601. So to begin with, we should be flooding the governor's office with phone
00:31:49.260
calls demanding that this person is fired, because that is what we're demanding. Not an apology. Now,
00:31:53.220
apology too, but then also fired. Nothing less than terminating her employment will be acceptable,
00:31:59.560
because that's what would happen to anybody on the other side. And we're going to insist on it in
00:32:04.680
this case. This person needs to be fired. Their job and livelihood must be taken away from them.
00:32:10.460
That's what needs to happen. And we're going to insist on it.
00:32:17.080
Though we should also mention, I say this is about holding them to their own standards
00:32:20.840
and not having a double standard. By any standard also, she should be fired for this.
00:32:25.840
Even if they weren't a bunch of cancel-happy people that were constantly trying to cancel
00:32:31.300
people for the things that they say, you should still be fired for this. There's no standard where
00:32:36.920
this would be appropriate. All right. Another article from the Daily Wire says, a nine-year-old
00:32:43.400
girl who was one of the three schoolchildren gunned down by the Nashville shooter inside a Christian
00:32:49.440
school was desperately trying to stop the massacre by pulling on a fire alarm when she was murdered.
00:32:55.840
And there, as I mentioned yesterday, there have been many stories and reports of heroism inside the
00:33:01.960
school, including one of the teachers that was killed, was apparently running towards the shooter
00:33:09.760
trying to protect her children. And in this case, it was Evelyn who was running to pull the fire alarm
00:33:16.220
to protect her classmates and her school. Incredible bravery. Also infuriating because that little girl
00:33:27.700
should not have been in a situation where she was called on to be heroic, which is why we need armed
00:33:37.000
security in all the schools. It's incredible to hear about the stories of teachers that are rushing at
00:33:46.180
shooters, unarmed teachers rushing at shooters, small children that are acting to try to protect their
00:33:52.760
classmates. These are heroic acts, but they shouldn't be in a position where they have to do that.
00:34:01.940
Okay. Teachers shouldn't be in a position who are unarmed, shouldn't be in a position having to throw
00:34:07.440
themselves at armed assailants, which is why, again, there needs to be, there need to be guns in
00:34:15.360
the school, guns that are carried by the good guys, armed security, armed teachers. We need all of that.
00:34:22.980
And that's, you know, if that's not just apparent by now to everyone, then, then I don't know at what
00:34:32.900
point does it become clear? But of course, on the left, they go the other direction. Here's Randy
00:34:38.460
Weingarten calling for the repeal of the second amendment in response to this.
00:34:43.820
An epidemic that our great nation must solve. And how many lives will be shattered
00:34:51.600
before we have the courage to do what Scotland did, what Australia did, what New Zealand did,
00:35:01.940
what other great democracies do. We must solve this epidemic. And that's up to us.
00:35:12.280
Yeah, that's, that is directly calling for the repeal of the second amendment and, and a kind of
00:35:17.860
unilateral disarmament. And it's not going to happen. Um, and you think, especially now,
00:35:26.460
see, they, they, the way it works in their twisted heads is after an event like this,
00:35:31.640
they think that this is the perfect time to make this argument. People are going to be even more
00:35:35.820
receptive to the propaganda because they're afraid of quote unquote gun violence. And so people are
00:35:40.500
even more willing to, uh, lay down their arms and get rid of their guns. But of course, for rational,
00:35:45.740
normal people, it's exactly the opposite. Okay. We are not because we're Americans and we have rights
00:35:53.900
and the second amendment does exist and it's not going to be repealed. Um, we are not receptive to
00:35:59.700
the idea of disarming in general, but we are the least receptive of all right after an event like
00:36:07.660
this. Because this only highlights yet again, why we need to be armed. It's a, it's just a,
00:36:16.280
it's a very simple equation. Evil exists in the world. Evil people exist in the world.
00:36:22.700
And if we ever encounter them, we, we don't want them to have the upper hand. That's it. That's all.
00:36:28.420
Um, as from Fox News says, reparations advocate, Robin Rue Simmons told CNN that she does not know
00:36:38.100
how San Francisco will pay, uh, the black residents $5 million each in reparations after successfully
00:36:44.340
awarding reparations to approved residents in Evanstown, uh, Illinois. CNN's Adrian Brodus asked
00:36:50.920
Simmons during an interview about how the city of San Francisco will pay black residents $5 million.
00:36:56.200
Simmons says, uh, I don't know. And so those are the challenges that we all have as
00:37:01.760
municipalities. Uh, I don't know. So this is the policy, uh, that we're advocating for. Well,
00:37:09.880
how are you actually going to do it though? Well, I don't know. That's the challenge. The challenge
00:37:13.040
is I have no idea how to do it. I, well, yeah, I guess I would agree. That's a challenge.
00:37:18.400
As a former alder woman termed activist, Simmons pushed for reparations in Evanston,
00:37:22.860
which became the first city to award such restitution to black residents who qualify.
00:37:27.280
Those who qualified were awarded grants up to $25,000 for a down payment on a new home,
00:37:32.680
home renovations, or mortgage assistance. However, the Evanston city council voted to
00:37:37.740
approve a cash option on Monday. Um, the approval of recreational marijuana, which went into effect
00:37:44.240
2021 funded Evanston's reparations. Simmons told the outlet, it's one thing to identify a harm and
00:37:50.820
prescribe a remedy. In the case of Evanston, we have been led to understand and appreciate that
00:37:55.760
home rule taxes are our most viable way to fund reparations. Being that they're within our purview.
00:38:03.520
Uh, Ramona Burton, who's one of the 14 who received a reparations grant in Evanston told Brodus that she,
00:38:09.100
uh, used the money for windows, her roof, and the chimney on her home. San Francisco's reparations
00:38:14.560
committee proposed paying each black resident community $5 million. And the board of supervisors
00:38:20.060
is considering the proposal. So using the example from a town where they, uh, decided $25,000 are now
00:38:28.280
saying, well, you know, why not $5 million? And why not 5 million? I mean, why not, why not award,
00:38:34.780
uh, why not award 50 million to each? Especially if the little details, like how does that even happen?
00:38:40.960
How do you do that? Uh, if, if that's, uh, you know, if these are minor concerns, these are just minor
00:38:47.820
logistical concerns, then yeah, why not $50 million? And forget about the, you know, the other
00:38:53.120
questions of like how, how as always comes up when this, when this insane idea of reparations
00:38:59.860
is, uh, is presented, how, how do you determine exactly who gets it and who pays? Well, I know how
00:39:09.160
they do it. You know, if they, if, if you qualify as black by, by their determinations, then, uh, that
00:39:17.360
automatically makes you, uh, a, you know, someone who suffers from the, um, historical trauma of
00:39:23.860
slavery. And so you get the reparations payments. And if they decide that you're white and, you know,
00:39:31.040
whoever qualifies as white, that can kind of change depending on what they need in the moments.
00:39:34.520
But if they decide that you're white, then that means that you are, uh, you are somehow,
00:39:38.580
you have inherited the guilt, which means that you have to pay up. Nevermind the fact that,
00:39:44.500
you know, there are many, many black people in this country who their families came here long
00:39:51.000
after slavery was abolished. There's many, many white families in this country whose families came
00:39:56.920
here long after slavery was abolished. And in fact, they came here and their families and their
00:40:01.240
ancestors were, uh, were targets of discrimination and prejudice as well. Nevermind all that. And also
00:40:07.760
nevermind the fact that even if, uh, you can trace your lineage all the way back to slavery days,
00:40:16.860
that is not in itself an argument for being able to cash in on suffering that you did not experience
00:40:25.140
and oppression that you did not experience. In fact, that you, that you missed by, uh, a century,
00:40:34.460
more than a century. So none of that makes any sense. Can't explain any of it, but let's do it
00:40:39.940
anyway. Sounds like a great idea. Let's get to the comment section.
00:40:42.540

00:42:35.640
regardless of any further info that comes out. Well, yeah, are you kidding? They'd prefer to
00:42:39.560
move on from it now. I mean, they want to move on from it 15 minutes after it happened. Well,
00:42:44.740
15 minutes after they found out who perpetrated the shooting, they wanted to move on from it.
00:42:49.500
And, um, and they will if we let them. So this kind of goes back to the Katie Hobbs discussion.
00:42:56.880
Um, if we, if we allow everyone to move on and, uh, and we decide that this is going to be yet
00:43:02.900
another thing that happens and matters a lot to people for 25 minutes and then they forget it
00:43:08.140
ever happened. Like if we decide that, if we go along with that, then, uh, then that's what will
00:43:12.120
happen, which is why we can't allow that. Uh, Bob says there is in fact a rational argument for not
00:43:17.920
having armed security. Despite the extraordinary media attention, school shootings are still rare.
00:43:21.860
Armed security is expensive. Schools are still one of the safest places for children to be
00:43:26.240
much safer than their homes. Yeah. I'm not sure by what measure you're saying that the children are
00:43:33.260
safer in their homes. And, um, and also it depends on the home, right? So I know that my, my children
00:43:45.740
are not like just subject to statistics. So I'm not going to look at, when you talk about the dangers
00:43:51.740
in the home, I assume you're talking about dangers of abuse and that sort of thing. Well, when I look
00:43:56.740
at my own children, okay. And if you're to say, if you're, if you're to take all the children and
00:44:01.660
then all the abuse that happens and then come up with some kind of percentage. So a child is, uh,
00:44:05.440
whatever percent likely to experience abuse at home. But when I look at my own children, I don't say,
00:44:10.060
well, they're that percent likely to experience abuse at home. No, they're 0% likely because that
00:44:15.280
doesn't happen in my home. So my children are safe in my home, you know, are, are completely safe in
00:44:22.880
my home, aside from, you know, the possibilities of accidents and tripping and that sort of thing
00:44:27.100
that can happen. But, uh, my, my children are safe in my home. I know that. Now it's different though.
00:44:33.740
You send them off to school and now the statistics do come more into play. Um, and now, yes, is it,
00:44:43.420
is it true that, uh, that school shootings are still rare? Yes, but they happen and they happen
00:44:54.520
with a, with a certain frequency. We know that it's not like when I went to school. Okay. When I,
00:45:01.280
when I went to school, it was, uh, you know, column, I was, I was in, I think I was in middle
00:45:06.680
school when Columbine happened and it was like, it was this unheard of earth shattering thing.
00:45:15.940
And now it's a couple of times a year, something like this happens.
00:45:20.540
So they do happen. They happen with, with, uh, you know, on, on a reoccurring basis,
00:45:25.920
there is a real risk there and that's reason enough to have security.
00:45:30.620
If anything like, uh, how off, how common are bank robberies?
00:45:38.300
It's not like, uh, every bank in the country is getting robbed every day. Bank robberies are
00:45:42.840
quote unquote rare. And in fact, even if you got rid of all armed security at all banks,
00:45:48.180
they would still be relatively rare because most people aren't going to rob a bank,
00:45:54.320
And yet, obviously you have security at a bank, no matter how rare it is. I mean, you,
00:46:02.520
you could go, we, if we went through a period of like five years where, where no banks were robbed
00:46:08.520
at all, I would still say, yeah, you should have security at the bank.
00:46:13.540
Why? Because there's a lot of money there and, uh, and it's worth protecting. It would be very
00:46:18.760
intelligent. It would be very stupid to not protect all the money and cash that you have there.
00:46:22.720
To make yourself a soft target when you've got all that money is a bad idea.
00:46:28.100
Well, the schools have our children, okay? Quite a bit more valuable. In fact, infinitely valuable,
00:46:34.520
our children. And it's worth protecting. And that goes for, you know, that goes for almost any other
00:46:42.400
institution, almost any other building where we are accustomed to seeing armed security
00:46:48.140
and we'd be kind of disturbed if we didn't see it in any of those cases. The chance of an attack,
00:46:56.180
of a violent attack is, is, you know, relatively small. And yet you have the security anyway,
00:47:03.440
because the risk is still there. So how do you decide whether there's security? I think it's,
00:47:08.520
you take two things into account. Is there a risk of something like this happening?
00:47:12.980
Okay. Is there like a quantifiable risk that it could happen? And is the, uh, you know, whatever
00:47:21.340
the, whatever the security is protecting, is that valuable enough to justify the expense?
00:47:29.860
And when it comes to money in a bank, I would say yes. And when it comes to our children in school,
00:47:34.000
I would say a million times more. Yes. So that, that's the argument as far as I'm concerned.
00:47:40.040
Let's see. Rick Wilson says, it's going to be awesome when Matt moves over to mug club and is
00:47:44.980
no longer bound by big tech rules and Jeremy Boring's capitulations to the left. I want Matt
00:47:49.880
unleashed. You want me? What, what leash do you think I'm on exactly? Like what, what, what am I,
00:47:56.020
of all the things that I say every single day on this show, what am I not saying? Like, what do you
00:48:01.200
think I'm not saying? Uh, believe me, I, I, whatever comes to my mind, I simply just say, you know,
00:48:07.820
if I, if I, if, if I believe that it's something that needs to be said, I will just say it. And,
00:48:12.700
uh, and that's it. Jeff says, what do you make of the reports about a child sex abuse scandal at
00:48:18.160
Covenant? There are rumors that the shooter may have been a victim seeking revenge. So yeah, I, um,
00:48:23.860
I have seen this and I'm only acknowledging it because I've seen this circulating on social media,
00:48:27.920
uh, people that are, you know, doing the detective thing, the detective work.
00:48:32.540
And so the, the, the narrative that some people are passing around on social media
00:48:37.160
is that there was a child sex abuse scandal at this school years ago. And, uh, so maybe the
00:48:45.040
shooter was a victim and was looking for revenge because of that. Now there's no evidence at all
00:48:50.240
that the shooter was a victim, no evidence of that. It's just a, it's speculation. And the speculation
00:48:55.840
has, um, has become rather widespread on social media anyway. Now, what do I make of it? I think,
00:49:03.880
I think it's just that. I think it's, I think it's total speculation, no evidence at all. And I think
00:49:10.160
it's completely implausible as well. I think it's completely implausible that this was the moat,
00:49:15.840
the motive for the crime because she wasn't, you know, usually with revenge, you're going after
00:49:22.060
the person who did a terrible thing to you. She went and killed children. So her revenge for
00:49:29.060
being abused as a child was to kill children. She didn't kill anyone who would have been
00:49:36.300
responsible for doing this. And that's usually what revenge is. And then also there's the fact
00:49:42.040
that, um, which is not taken into account by the people that are engaging in this, uh, speculation.
00:49:46.680
There's also the fact that the police have told us that she had other targets in mind.
00:49:51.460
She had other targets in mind and she settled on this target because it didn't have security
00:49:56.460
because it was a soft target. We were told that directly. She was going to go somewhere else and
00:50:01.360
didn't because it had security. So she went here. So that alone, I think debunks this, this whole
00:50:06.680
theory. So what we know is that it was targeted at this school, but also there were, there were other
00:50:13.580
targets that she would have gone to. So what does that tell us? It tells us that, that, that there's
00:50:19.660
something about this kind of school that she was going after, but it may not have been this exact
00:50:24.020
school that she gets. So in other words, she wanted a Christian school and there might've been other
00:50:29.240
Christian schools that she would have targeted, but she decided not to. And she went with this one.
00:50:34.400
That's what that tells me. You know, I'll never understand virtue signaling, making yourself
00:50:39.060
look important with the least amount of effort. It's, it's like the reputation equivalent of stolen
00:50:44.080
valor. And reputation is just one of the things that Jordan Peterson discusses with his round table
00:50:48.900
group of scholars and theologians in the latest episode of Exodus. Check this out.
00:50:54.120
I don't think when we've talked in our culture a lot about virtue signaling, it's not exactly a great
00:50:59.520
phrase because really what you're trying to do when you virtue signal is you're trying to acquire
00:51:04.920
reputation that you haven't earned. And the reason that people are so motivated to do that is
00:51:10.020
because once you can abstract an ethic, there's actually nothing that's more valuable than your
00:51:16.800
reputation, right? It's the thing upon which all the trades that you engage in with everyone else
00:51:23.580
depends, right? You're as good as your reputation. And so if you can get that falsely, it's a real crime.
00:51:29.420
And if you can savage it without cause, it's an equally egregious crime. And that's why psychopaths
00:51:35.580
do it so often. And so narcissists and criminal types.
00:51:38.260
Surely that's much worse though, Jordan. To have an ill-gotten reputation, that's bad. But to take
00:51:46.300
away someone's actually earned reputation. I know that there are in a certain sense two sides of this.

Well, new episodes are coming online every week, exclusive for Daily Wire Plus members.
00:51:57.640
Join now at dailywire.com slash subscribe to watch Exodus. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:52:06.800
Today we cancel a woman named Laura Jadid, who identifies herself in her Twitter bio as a freelance
00:52:12.480
journalist. She has apparently been paid, I assume she was paid anyway, to write for publications like
00:52:16.900
New York Magazine and Rolling Stone. And if you're wondering what sort of stories she chases down,
00:52:21.820
what kind of journalistic investigations she conducts, well, here's her latest expose.
00:52:27.640
Okay. She poured through years of my tweets and other posts going back to 2012 to find out how I
00:52:35.260
responded to previous mass shootings and to compare those responses to what I've said about the Covenant
00:52:40.640
school shooting. And the results are shocking or shocking to her anyway, apparently. So she thinks
00:52:47.000
she's got me here. She thinks she has something, something big. It's just not clear what exactly that
00:52:53.060
is. So let's go through this thread together. Laura writes, quote, good morning. Let's compare Matt
00:52:58.400
Walsh's reaction to the Nashville Covenant school shooting with other shootings that involve the murder
00:53:02.620
of very young children. She provides some screenshots of my tweets over the past few days. It's all right in
00:53:08.020
line with what you've heard me say on the show. I talk about how, you know, I have nine-year-old
00:53:11.820
children myself. I can't imagine the pain of losing them. I say that we should always remember what
00:53:15.880
happened at Covenant school. I talk about the danger posed by trans extremists and all of that,
00:53:23.060
she moves to the past. Quote, Uvalde, Texas, 5-24-2022, 19 elementary school children,
00:53:28.900
two teachers dead. Only a soulless piece of s**t would politicize the shooting of elementary
00:53:33.340
school children. Perpetrators should burn in hell. Armed security is the answer. Here she's
00:53:37.680
summarizing accurately what I tweeted in response to that shooting. She continues, Parkland, Florida,
00:53:43.740
2-14-18, 17 dead, most between 14 and 18. Walsh, do not politicize this. Don't make this about
00:53:49.660
mental illness. Have you read this great speech? LOL, Valentine's Day. Walsh posted the Valentine's
00:53:54.220
Day tweets after he retweeted the news item on the shooting. So here she summarizes again,
00:53:58.920
less accurately. In the screenshots, you see that I sent a tweet calling for armed security in
00:54:04.020
schools. I make the point that a government building that houses our children should be
00:54:07.280
protected just like we protect almost any other government building. I also talk about the problem
00:54:11.360
of human evil. You know, how this comes down, not merely to mental illness or policy failure,
00:54:17.200
but to evil. She screenshots this tweet of mine, evil is everywhere. This is me now. Evil is
00:54:23.520
everywhere, around us and within us. It may make us feel safer to pretend it's a political issue or a
00:54:27.280
policy issue, but we are fooling ourselves. And then there's a tweet of mine about fatherlessness
00:54:32.500
and how that contributes to violence as well. Continuing to the next part of Laura's thread,
00:54:36.700
she writes, quote, 12-year-old Tamir Rice's murder at the hands of a policeman in 2014 wasn't a school
00:54:42.760
shooting, but he was only three years older than the nine-year-olds who died in Tennessee.
00:54:47.840
Let's see what Matt Walsh had to say about that. What's that? Nothing? Just tweets about BLM writ large?
00:54:52.960
Cool. Walsh didn't have a Twitter account in 2012 when Adam Lanza killed 26 people at Sandy Hook
00:54:57.840
Elementary School, but here's some of the stuff that he wrote on his blog. And she here provides a
00:55:02.760
screenshot of a blog post that I wrote where I talk about the futility of gun control.
00:55:06.700
She ends her thread with this. At no point during my combing through Matt Walsh's disgusting Twitter
00:55:11.020
feed this morning have I found a single expression of howling grief at the genuine horror of children
00:55:15.620
dead at the barrel of a gun, at least not until a trans person killed them. Now, Laura's Twitter
00:55:21.940
followers have championed her investigative work on this issue, celebrating this as a damning report
00:55:27.440
that exposes my rank hypocrisy and fraudulence. Here are a few reactions from leftists responding to
00:55:34.400
or sharing this thread. This is what they're saying. Quote, an incredibly obvious conclusion
00:55:39.440
can be made here, and that's that people have agendas. This is a smoking gun for Matt Walsh and
00:55:43.960
all the conservatives acting like they really care about the issue at hand. Another says, thread of
00:55:48.680
proof that Matt Walsh is a bigoted, Nazi-loving monster who cares about nothing but pushing his own
00:55:53.960
fear-mongering trite. I think they mean tripe. Another one, a thread which more than proves that
00:56:00.460
Matt Walsh is a hypocritical craven bloodsucker who exploits tragedies for his own self-satisfaction
00:56:06.880
and need for clout. Another one says, this should disqualify Matt Walsh in every argument he attempts
00:56:12.360
to make. Another one, this thread is an incredible breakdown of how inconsistent a far-right extremist like
00:56:18.100
Matt Walsh is when discussing the horrifying loss of children's lives due to shootings, especially when he
00:56:23.260
feels he can exploit it for his own transphobic crusade. Now, meanwhile, people with IQs somewhere
00:56:30.080
above refrigerator temperatures are left confused. I mean, where exactly is the disqualifying hypocrisy?
00:56:37.080
Where is the incredible inconsistency they think they've found? Because what she's really discovered
00:56:42.720
here is that I've been saying the same things about these tragedies, making the same kinds of points,
00:56:48.980
hammering the same themes over and over again for years. She has exposed not my inconsistency, but my
00:56:56.880
consistency. She has gone through my closet in search of skeletons and discovered instead 50 versions of the
00:57:03.220
same flannel shirt, basically, which is actually what you would find in my real closet. And this is supposed to
00:57:08.260
make me look dishonest for reasons that remain quite mysterious? I'm not even feigning ignorance here for
00:57:14.960
comedic effect. I honestly don't know exactly where she or the left is sharing this thread. Imagine the
00:57:21.320
hypocrisy is. She says that I only express grief over the murder of the children at Covenant School, but
00:57:27.140
not over any of these other shootings. Yet you can see my expressions of grief about those other
00:57:32.140
shootings in the very tweets that she screenshots. Also, since we're going back to 2012 to read my obscure
00:57:37.460
blog, which I was writing as a no-name small market radio host, here's what I posted on the day that the
00:57:43.500
Sandy Hook Massacre happened. And Laura conveniently forgot to mention this. She went all the way back
00:57:48.600
to see what I wrote about Sandy Hook Massacre. Well, it turns out, and I don't even remember
00:57:52.200
writing this, I wrote something on the day that it happened, a direct response to it, and here's what
00:57:57.720
I said. This is a day when I hate my job. I don't want to go on the air and talk about 26 people being
00:58:02.640
killed in an elementary school. I don't want to talk about 18 children being slaughtered by a cowardly,
00:58:06.860
satanic piece of worthless filth. I have no commentary to offer on this. I have nothing but anger and
00:58:11.580
confusion, and I have prayers. I pray not only for the families of the children who have been
00:58:15.280
stolen from the world, but I pray for all of us. I pray that God will heal this nation because we
00:58:19.240
are deeply spiritually broken. Evil is very present among us. Don't ask if we have enough laws or
00:58:25.060
enough medication or too many guns or too many video games. Ask why there is so much evil in this
00:58:29.840
country. That's the question. I don't have the answer, but I know God is the solution. So that's what I
00:58:35.340
wrote at the time. That's me expressing grief. That's me pointing to the problem of evil and spiritual
00:58:39.280
decay. That's me saying that the solution cannot be found through policy changes or psychiatric
00:58:44.160
medication. That's me saying exactly what I always say about these things. That's me saying everything
00:58:50.260
that I said on this show yesterday about the Covenant school shooting over a decade later and saying the
00:58:55.820
same things. Presumably, Laura would claim that the real hypocrisy is in the fact that I'm decrying the
00:59:04.500
politicization of school shootings in the past and yet have called out the violence of radical trans
00:59:11.320
activists in response to this latest shooting. And it's true. I do oppose the politicization of
00:59:18.040
school shootings while also opposing the rampant hate and violence in the gender ideology movement.
00:59:24.580
I hold both of those views and they are not in conflict with one another. As I outlined yesterday in
00:59:31.520
great detail, trans activists regularly call for violence. They regularly engage in intimidation,
00:59:37.920
emotional blackmail, harassment, threats, et cetera. They feel entitled to act out this way and they are
00:59:43.720
implicitly and sometimes explicitly given permission to do so. And I think that that is a bad thing.
00:59:49.820
I think that this will and does result in chaos and bloodshed because it's designed to. Okay, that's not my
00:59:56.940
political view. It's not something I'm saying to score political points, which is what it means to
01:00:03.060
politicize something. I'm saying it because it's the cold reality of the situation. The gender ideology
01:00:09.580
movement is, once again, the most hateful and violent movement in America and it's not even close.
01:00:16.980
If this is a political statement, well, that's only because one political party, the Democrat Party,
01:00:22.520
has decided to attach itself to this movement and act as its mouthpiece and enforcement mechanism.
01:00:29.380
That's not my fault. I didn't tell Democrats to sell their souls to the gender cult.
01:00:34.700
They did that on their own. So yes, I am opposed to trans terrorists slaughtering children.
01:00:41.040
I am opposed to politicians using mass shootings to score political points.
01:00:45.920
I am opposed to trying to solve the problem of human evil with gun control policies.
01:00:50.840
I don't think it can be sufficiently addressed with psychiatric medication, which I think very
01:00:55.800
often can do more harm than good. I believe that we're in a state of cultural rot and decay.
01:01:03.020
I believe that there's an emptiness and hopelessness at the core of so many people in our society.
01:01:08.080
And this is what fundamentally drives them to commit these heinous acts of evil.
01:01:11.880
I think the collapse of the nuclear family is a huge part of this equation.
01:01:14.480
I think we need a spiritual revival in this country. I think all of these things have always thought
01:01:21.000
them, have always said them, will continue saying them, which may make me boring and it may make me
01:01:28.340
predictable. Certainly doesn't make me a hypocrite though, but it does make you, Laura, today canceled.
01:01:37.340
And that'll do it for this portion of the show. As we move over to the members block,
