The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1139 - Trans Shooter Massacres Christian Children. Media Says Trans People Are The Real Victims.

00:00:00.000 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, 0.94

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 0.70

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 0.99

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 0.99

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. 0.98

00:08:49.700 Of course, even without the manifesto, we still have the simple and terrible fact that a trans mass 1.00

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, 1.00

00:09:19.980 on TikTok. Watch.

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 0.92

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 1.00

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, 0.70

00:11:54.340 along with perhaps the greater problem that she's burning in hell. But along with that,

00:11:58.720 she's being misgendered. Here's TikTok again. 1.00

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

00:12:56.120 that's very clearly coming out.

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, 1.00

00:13:35.000 for example. But as for the pronouns, we get to do that regardless. Actually, listen to this. 1.00

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, 0.99

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 1.00

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 0.54

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 1.00

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, 0.99

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 0.69

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?

00:23:27.540 Probably not.

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 1.00

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 0.95

00:25:25.120 hours after a woman who identified as transgender killed six people, including three young children 0.99

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 0.86

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 0.90

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.97

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. 1.00

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, 0.99

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.99

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, 1.00

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 0.91

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.

00:42:35.640 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,

00:45:53.020 even if the opportunity presents itself.

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. 0.97

00:46:22.720 To make yourself a soft target when you've got all that money is a bad idea. 0.97

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 0.98

00:49:29.060 being abused as a child was to kill children. She didn't kill anyone who would have been 1.00

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 1.00

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. 0.99

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. 0.91

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.

00:51:50.680 It's a battle between devils.

00:51:51.900 Two sides of the same coin.

00:51:53.520 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 0.76

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. 1.00

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 0.98

00:53:33.340 school children. Perpetrators should burn in hell. Armed security is the answer. Here she's 1.00

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 0.99

00:55:15.620 dead at the barrel of a gun, at least not until a trans person killed them. Now, Laura's Twitter 0.96

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 0.99

00:55:53.960 fear-mongering trite. I think they mean tripe. Another one, a thread which more than proves that 0.99

00:56:00.460 Matt Walsh is a hypocritical craven bloodsucker who exploits tragedies for his own self-satisfaction 0.99

00:56:06.880 and need for clout. Another one says, this should disqualify Matt Walsh in every argument he attempts 1.00

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 0.99

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 1.00

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. 0.99

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. 0.58

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,
