The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1141 - Trump Is Indicted. The Justice System Is A Sham.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Democrats wage an actual war on democracy by finally indicting

00:00:04.840 their chief political rival, Donald Trump. This outrageous witch hunt is yet more evidence that

00:00:09.340 the justice system is a sham in this country. Meanwhile, DeSantis has pledged not to cooperate

00:00:14.180 with any extradition requests should Trump then throw down the gauntlet and refuse to surrender.

00:00:18.480 Also, speaking of assaults on democracy, leftist militants have staged two insurrections at two

00:00:23.260 different state capitals in just the last 24 hours. And a trans activist goes on MSNBC to

00:00:27.800 explain why God, quote, made him trans. Plus, a scientist warns that AI might become super

00:00:33.320 intelligent and wipe out all life on Earth. Do we need to add that to our list of worries?

00:00:37.780 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:48.180 You know, inflation has consequences. The recent surge in gold prices is directly tied to an

00:00:53.120 extremely volatile market. This is why gold has historically been a great hedge against the stock

00:00:58.340 market and against inflation. The only company then that I trust to help you diversify into gold

00:01:03.360 is Birch Gold Group. Diversification has never been more important. Precious metals will always

00:01:07.800 have inherent value. Gold is a tangible and finite resource uncontrolled by any single government

00:01:12.700 or any single financial institution. As such, they cannot simply be printed on a government's whim

00:01:17.440 like paper currency. This gives precious metals a unique advantage and results in numerous benefits

00:01:22.340 for investors. Birch Gold can also help you convert an IRA, existing IRA, 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA

00:01:28.200 in physical precious metals. Text Walsh to 989898 to get a free info kit on gold today. With an A-plus

00:01:34.340 rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless five-star reviews,

00:01:46.000 Last year, a 37-year-old man named Marcus Wright walked up to a woman who was standing on the

00:01:52.540 sidewalk talking on her phone and for no discernible reason brutally assaulted her. It was a random

00:01:57.060 and senseless attack, but not unexpected. After all, Marcus Wright was a career criminal

00:02:01.360 with 36 arrests on his rap sheet. He had long ago made it clear that he has absolutely no interest in

00:02:07.220 behaving like a civilized human being. He's going to continue committing crimes and victimizing the

00:02:12.640 innocent until the justice system decides to stop him, and they still have him. But in New York, that system

00:02:18.040 is run by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, another Soros goblin who doesn't believe in punishing criminals 0.91

00:02:23.320 and doesn't believe in protecting the innocent and doesn't care about the innocent. Wright had been charged

00:02:28.060 with a grand larceny a few months prior, but they reduced the crime to a misdemeanor, let him back out on the

00:02:34.120 street. A few months before that, he was given a similar sweetheart deal on a robbery charge, and even after

00:02:39.380 committing the assault on the pedestrian, he was still released without bail. A couple months

00:02:44.160 after this latest incident with Wright, a 16-year-old thug attacked a cop in a Harlem subway

00:02:50.520 station, punching him 20 times. And this assault occurred three days after the same suspect was

00:02:56.160 arrested for assaulting and robbing somebody else. Once again, he was released without bail, and Bragg's

00:03:02.500 office recommended that he be released without bail again for the assault on the officer. Fast forward another

00:03:08.360 few weeks. In September, a sex predator named Justin Washington allegedly sexually assaulted five 0.81

00:03:13.820 people in the span of a single day near his homeless shelter. And this crime spree happened after he had

00:03:20.000 already been arrested for raping a teenage relative. He agreed in that case to plea down in the rape case,

00:03:26.620 and he received, in exchange, a 30-day jail sentence and some probation. Now, these are just three

00:03:33.200 examples pulled at random. Actually, the first three examples that popped up when I googled it.

00:03:37.980 Okay, so these are just three examples, many, many more, which together explain why during Bragg's

00:03:44.420 first year in office as DA, as Newsweek reports, quote, Manhattan's seven major felony offenses, murder,

00:03:50.240 rape, robbery, assault, burglary, grand larceny, and grand larceny auto rose by 26% to the highest since

00:03:56.700 2006. That was just in his first year in office. This is a man, Alvin Bragg, who does not place,

00:04:03.980 to put it mildly, does not place a high value on the safety and security of his own community. A man

00:04:09.300 who does not think that justice ought to involve actually punishing dangerous criminals. A man who

00:04:14.860 has never met a crime that he takes seriously, unless, of course, the alleged culprit is Donald Trump.

00:04:22.160 The Daily Wire reported last night the news that I'm sure you've heard by now, quote,

00:04:25.840 A Manhattan grand jury has indicted former President Donald Trump in connection with so-called hush

00:04:30.580 money payments to Stormy Daniels in 2016, according to a report. The felony indictment was filed under

00:04:35.800 seal by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, according to the New York Times, and will likely be

00:04:39.840 announced within days. At that point, Trump will be compelled to surrender and face arraignment. According

00:04:44.800 to a report, a lawyer for Trump confirmed an indictment to the Associated Press. The former president is now

00:04:49.900 the first former president in U.S. history to ever face criminal charges. The lead prosecutors in the

00:04:55.280 case met with the grand jury on Thursday and read them the criminal statutes before they voted. The

00:04:59.620 report said a few hours later, the prosecutors walked into the court clerk's office and began

00:05:05.700 filing the indictment. The news comes as the Wall Street Journal reported that District Attorney Alvin

00:05:09.440 Bragg's office has also started examining an alleged $150,000 payment to former Playboy model

00:05:15.360 Karen McDougal. The report said that prosecutors could use the alleged hush money payment to McDougal

00:05:20.120 to bring additional potential charges against Trump. Prosecutors could also use McDougal's

00:05:25.140 evidence to try to establish an alleged pattern of conduct by the former president,

00:05:29.080 since alleged participants have claimed that Trump played a key role in the deals, according to the

00:05:33.560 report. Okay, so we now know that the indictment has over 30 charges, and apparently Bragg is not done.

00:05:41.580 You can see why he has all this pent-up energy to actually prosecute a crime. I mean,

00:05:46.860 he's so excited he's actually indicting someone for a chance for a change. He hasn't prosecuted

00:05:52.340 muggers, robbers, carjackers, murderers, rapists, the people actually terrorizing his city and causing

00:05:58.460 immeasurable harm to the people who live there. He hasn't done any of that because he's been saving

00:06:03.320 all of his energy to bring Donald Trump to justice for supposedly giving some money to some floozy. 0.99

00:06:10.820 There's no telling what other charges are on the indictment. It's still sealed right now,

00:06:14.400 so we don't know. Perhaps Bragg has also uncovered evidence of unpaid parking tickets.

00:06:19.660 Maybe an overdue blockbuster rental from 1992. Maybe we need a separate grand jury for those

00:06:26.060 investigations. Who knows? It's a joke, but it's not a funny one because there's nothing funny

00:06:31.900 about a dying republic, and this is what happens in a dying republic. We are witnessing before our eyes

00:06:38.400 the late stages of a civilization. And that's the part where one political party arrests and attempts

00:06:46.040 to imprison its chief political rivals. You know, for all the hand-wringing about attacks on our

00:06:52.180 democracy, this is actually an attack on our democracy. It's hard to imagine a more serious

00:06:58.520 attack than this. Trying to win an election by throwing your opponent in prison. Like,

00:07:04.660 if you want to attack democracy, that's how you do it. It's not simply an attack on democracy. It's

00:07:11.340 actually the death of democracy. And it's happening at the hands of people who, of course, claim to be

00:07:16.780 democracy's greatest champions. Of course, you know, there might be more to this. Democrats are soulless

00:07:25.340 and corrupt, but they aren't generally idiots. So they're certainly aware of the same fact that we 1.00

00:07:32.300 all recognize, which is that nothing could possibly help Donald Trump's primary campaign more than

00:07:38.660 this. And his coming mugshot photo, because they're going to do the whole deal. They're going to arrest

00:07:43.700 him, fingerprints, mugshot, everything. And when that photo is taken and released, just on its own,

00:07:52.040 becomes one of the most powerful and compelling images in the history of American politics.

00:07:57.100 powerful and compelling in Trump's favor, as it should be. So it's far too early to say that this

00:08:04.440 move by Bragg has sealed the nomination for Trump. You know, I'm not going to say that it's won him the

00:08:10.400 nomination, because it's just, it's so early. And we also know that people forget things. I mean,

00:08:16.660 you could have a story, we've seen this many times, a story that's the biggest thing in the world

00:08:20.580 for 36 hours, and then everyone forgets about it. Six months later, it's like it never happened. So

00:08:26.180 that also factors into this. But this definitely has considerably expanded the gap

00:08:34.200 between Trump and second place in the race for the GOP nomination. And the Democrats know this.

00:08:42.440 Okay, we all know this, and we're saying it. It's not like they don't, it's not like they don't know it.

00:08:47.020 But they're aware of that political reality. Is that part of the game then? Are they operating

00:08:54.560 on the theory that the indictment will help Trump in the primary, and they want to help him because

00:09:01.060 they want to run against him, but it will hurt him in the general, thereby ensuring Biden's

00:09:06.040 re-election? You know, is that the theory? Whether that theory is true or not, is that what they're

00:09:12.060 doing? So is this simply an act of mindless political vengeance without concern for the

00:09:18.220 political impact it might have? Or is it something more strategic? And this really comes down to the

00:09:24.580 question of whether or not you believe that Democrats are dumber than they are corrupt. 0.99

00:09:30.580 And if you believe that, you'll probably assume the former. This is mindless political vengeance with 0.99

00:09:34.840 no other strategy in place. Now, if you believe that they're more corrupt than they are dumb, 1.00

00:09:40.920 you'll assume the latter, that this is also a political play. And I tend to assume the latter. 0.99

00:09:47.720 They're more corrupt than they are dumb. But whatever the motivation, what we absolutely know 0.99

00:09:52.020 for sure is that none of this would be happening if the alleged culprit behind these alleged quote-unquote

00:09:57.500 crimes was named Donald Smith rather than Donald Trump. Because as we've established,

00:10:04.380 Bragg can't be bothered to throw the book at actual child rapists and armed robbers. 0.80

00:10:09.220 He certainly wouldn't waste his time on this ticky-tack nonsense if not for the fact 0.81

00:10:13.980 that Trump is the target. That's what we know. That's all we need to know. And that's what makes

00:10:20.460 this a historic outrage. And yet more evidence that the justice system does not exist in this

00:10:27.320 country. It's not a two-tier justice system. It's not a justice system that operates on a double

00:10:31.140 standard. There is no justice system. There's no system in place to enact, protect,

00:10:35.340 and preserve justice. That no longer exists. In fact, it's quite appropriate that Trump's arrest

00:10:42.360 would come now at the conclusion of a 24-hour period where leftist militants were storming

00:10:49.800 state capitals. They stormed two state capitol buildings in 24 hours. First, there were the trans 1.00

00:10:55.240 activists invading the Kentucky capitol to defend their right to castrate and sterilize young children.

00:11:00.780 And then yesterday afternoon, an angry mob of leftists in Tennessee stormed our state capitol

00:11:05.600 here in Nashville, calling for gun control. It was a rare occasion where insurrectionists were

00:11:12.520 demanding fewer rights rather than more. They were storming the capitol to say,

00:11:16.500 take our rights away. We don't want them. Please take them. Here's some of the footage of that scene.

00:11:20.760 Check it out.

00:11:21.500 No action! No peace! No action! No peace! No action! No peace! No action! No peace!

00:11:48.500 No action! No peace! No action! No peace! No action! No peace! No action! No peace!

00:12:02.880 Well, there's just no way around it. That is an insurrection according to the standards that have

00:12:07.060 been set. Everyone involved should be hunted down, arrested, and thrown in prison for years.

00:12:13.180 Yet, as expected, the media has not condemned the actions of these insurrectionists. They have not

00:12:19.740 solemnly declared that, what was yesterday, March 30th, March 30th will now live in the national memory

00:12:25.560 as a date more tragic than 9-11. They haven't said any of that. Instead, they've reported on the

00:12:30.320 insurrection like this. Watch.

00:12:32.840 Protesters flooded the state capitol building today. Take a look. You can see young kids among those

00:12:38.240 holding signs demanding protection and calling for the end of gun violence after the horrific

00:12:43.680 shooting at the Covenant School on Monday, which left three children and three staff members dead.

00:12:49.440 And that's where NBC's Lindsay Reiser joins us from the state capitol in Nashville. Lindsay, 0.99

00:12:54.240 I know you have been talking to people there at memorials, at the vigil yesterday, now at this protest.

00:13:00.240 What are they telling you?

00:13:03.440 Chris, hundreds of people showed up today. I mean, probably about

00:13:06.720 1,500, maybe even upwards of that, showing out. A lot of young people, a lot of young students

00:13:12.000 skipping school, a lot of parents bringing their young kids here as well. And I talked to the organizer

00:13:16.880 of today's event. She's a single mom herself. Her son is about to turn five. And she said

00:13:21.440 she felt mobilized to act when she saw this on Monday. She put the flyer out immediately. You could

00:13:25.440 tell she was heartened to see the result today with people singing songs, confronting lawmakers

00:13:30.640 on their way into the General Assembly today, calling for some kind of gun reform.

00:13:36.160 In other words, it was a mostly peaceful insurrection. But the media is allowed to be

00:13:42.960 absurdly biased and it's allowed to be run by partisan hacks. It shouldn't be, but it's allowed to be.

00:13:49.440 The justice system, on the other hand, is supposed to enforce the law equally and fairly without

00:13:54.160 respect to politics and ideology. And yet we all know that the Tennessee insurrection will not be

00:13:58.720 prosecuted like January 6th. In fact, it almost certainly won't be prosecuted at all.

00:14:05.760 Just as no other politician and certainly no other former president or presidential candidate

00:14:10.000 will be held to the same legal standard that Trump is being held to.

00:14:14.080 And that's because, again, there is no justice system. There is a system, yes. There is the system.

00:14:20.560 But justice is not its aim. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:32.720 We'll start with a little bit more on the Trump indictment. This is from the Daily Wire. Florida

00:14:36.640 Governor Ron DeSantis quickly responded to news on Thursday that former President Donald Trump had

00:14:40.400 been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury by calling into question the legitimacy of the case and saying

00:14:44.240 that the state will not assist in an extradition request. DeSantis said in a statement, the webization

00:14:48.960 of the legal system to advance a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. It's un-American.

00:14:53.920 The Soros-backed Manhattan district attorney has consistently bent the law to downgrade felonies

00:14:58.000 and to excuse criminal misconduct. Yet now he is stretching the law to target a political opponent.

00:15:03.040 Florida will not assist in an extradition request given the questionable circumstances at issue

00:15:07.200 with this Soros-backed Manhattan prosecutor and his political agenda. This is a very good statement.

00:15:14.160 You know, when news first broke a couple weeks ago that Trump might be arrested and DeSantis put a

00:15:20.800 statement out or he addressed it, it wasn't even a statement, he addressed it at his press conference.

00:15:24.960 And I was, if you watch the show, I was critical of the way he initially addressed it. I thought he

00:15:30.480 needed to come out stronger. And he also should say that he's not going to participate in any extradition.

00:15:35.440 And now, now that the arrest has actually happened, um, he has put this statement out. I think it's an

00:15:41.840 excellent statement. Uh, now, you know, there are the, the kind of the Trump lackeys on Twitter that

00:15:46.960 are still complaining even about this. Okay. This is a harsh condemnation and even saying he's going

00:15:52.800 to go to bat to protect Trump here. And, uh, is still, you know, there'd be mostly the paid Trump

00:15:58.560 supporters on Twitter saying, well, it's not good enough because he didn't say his name, say his name.

00:16:02.960 Well, we know that literally no matter what DeSantis does, they're going to complain. I mean,

00:16:07.040 he is, after all, inarguably DeSantis is the most effective Republican governor in the country.

00:16:13.360 And one of the most effective in our lifetimes, uh, that's not an arguable statement and no one

00:16:18.320 even does. And yet they still find a reason to hate him. So it's no surprise here. But, um,

00:16:23.680 the fact that he's saying they're not going to participate in any kind of extradition, uh,

00:16:26.880 request, they're not going to, um, go along with it is huge.

00:16:32.960 Now, on the other hand, it kind of, it kind of puts the ball back in Trump's court because what

00:16:37.120 we're being told so far is that Trump plans to surrender. Um, and, uh, but, but he shouldn't,

00:16:44.000 like, if we're going to have this fight, let's have it. Okay. We, we keep hearing how this,

00:16:48.800 the crossing of the Rubicon, this is a threshold has been crossed, uh, throwing down the gauntlet,

00:16:54.080 whatever, whatever, um, metaphor you want to use. And I agree with that. And so that means

00:17:01.680 let's have the fight. Let's do it. I don't know where it goes. I don't know where it goes from

00:17:06.160 there. If you have the governor saying, I'm not going to participate in the extradition. You have

00:17:09.920 Trump say, I'm not going to surrender. Where does that go? What happens next? Who, who knows exactly?

00:17:15.120 Um, well, where it goes is someone has to back down or not. And to me, that's clearly the right move

00:17:24.320 here. Okay. That's how you fight back against this. That's how you fight back. You refuse to

00:17:29.040 surrender. You know, if this is an unjust political persecution, which it is, then you can't cooperate

00:17:37.360 with it. Now, if you've actually committed a crime and, uh, or even your, even, even if you are

00:17:44.600 sort of legitimately suspected of committing a crime, you didn't commit it. Let's say you're

00:17:48.640 innocent, but you've been, you're, you're suspected of committing the crime. And you know, that this is

00:17:55.440 a, that this is a, uh, a true attempt by the legal system to, you know, adjudicate this and figure out

00:18:01.940 what's going on. Well, then you have the right thing to do with surrender. But in this case,

00:18:04.980 this is all the, this is entirely just a, a political charade. This is a political game

00:18:11.660 and everybody knows that. So I don't think you surrender and I don't think you go along with it.

00:18:17.200 But then Trump also has to weigh, you know, okay, he could, he could thread on the gauntlet and say,

00:18:22.440 I'm not going to surrender. I will not go along with this. Okay. Not going to happen. Um,

00:18:29.640 if he does, if he does that, then there's a chance you don't get the mugshot photo. Uh,

00:18:34.880 you don't get the photo of the, the perp walk and handcuffs, which are going to be very powerful

00:18:39.260 political images. Um, but I think he needs to be willing to sacrifice that in order to have this

00:18:47.560 fight. That would be my view of it. Next, we have Charlotte Clymer, who's a trans activist. Um, 1.00

00:18:55.640 interesting thing about Charlotte Clymer is that just a few years ago, he was Charles Clymer,

00:19:01.740 a male feminist activist who as laid out by, uh, Greg price on Twitter yesterday is a male feminist

00:19:10.400 who got canceled by his own side for being a rageous, obnoxious, you know, raging, obnoxious, 1.00

00:19:16.900 uh, uh, scumbag jerk. Basically his own side canceled him years ago. Uh, there was even a hashtag 1.00

00:19:23.820 that got going called stop climber because this, again, people on his side left us who said that he's, 0.96

00:19:31.240 uh, this creepy male feminist guy who's obnoxious to women. He's an a-hole and all the rest of it. 0.99

00:19:37.200 So Clymer then sort of disappears and then reemerges as a woman. He rebrands himself as a 0.73

00:19:44.580 woman. And now he's a hero again. He was on the outs as a male feminist, then says, oh, you know what?

00:19:51.840 Turns out I'm a woman. I've, I, I have looked inside myself and discovered as it turns out

00:19:56.420 that I am, uh, that deep inside, I'm really a woman. And just like that, his career as an activist

00:20:02.740 has taken off again. No one in his side is critical of all the critics, all the people that were

00:20:07.480 critic criticizing Charles Clymer back in 2015 are gone. They're not saying anything about it anymore

00:20:14.060 because now he's untouchable because he's trans many such cases. Okay. This is, this is the, 0.57

00:20:21.160 the safest career path for creepy, obnoxious men on the left is this. Just come out and say, 0.93

00:20:28.420 you're a woman. You don't have to commit to it. Okay. You don't have to actually get the surgery 0.99

00:20:33.080 or even take the drugs. Just grow your hair out, pull it back in a ponytail and, uh, and, you know,

00:20:39.420 wear it, wear a headband or something and walk outside and say, you're a woman. That's it. 0.60

00:20:42.940 All the criticism is gone. Simple as that. That's the story of quote unquote Charlotte Clymer. And,

00:20:51.800 uh, as this untouchable now, um, activist, he appeared on MSNBC this week. And I want you to

00:21:00.360 hear this part of the ticket. Listen to this. I think children are only unsafe at drag shows when 0.99

00:21:05.520 a shooter shows up to kill them. That's right. That's where the threat is. I would challenge anyone

00:21:10.260 just to get to know trans people. We are a vibrant, diverse community as diverse as anyone else.

00:21:15.240 You know, I'm from the great state of Texas. I served in the military. I go to church every

00:21:18.080 Sunday. My faith is very important to me, but God made me in her image. God made me transgender.

00:21:24.880 And to see these people so cynically weaponize this and exploit these children's debts and their

00:21:29.580 teachers debts, it breaks my heart. I wonder what those families are thinking right now.

00:21:33.980 What do you, what do you feel when you have somebody like Michael Knowles at CPAC,

00:21:37.480 we need to eradicate transgenderism. And when somebody like Tucker Carlson says that 0.77

00:21:40.940 transgender people are at war with Christians. I can't see Christ in their words. That's for 1.00

00:21:45.020 damn sure. I can't see where the biblical principles of loving your neighbor and walking 0.89

00:21:50.220 the walk with Christ that they can see. I can't see what they're seeing right now because that's

00:21:54.280 not of Christ. It's not. Here's our, here's our, uh, expert on, on, uh, biblical New Testament

00:22:00.900 exegesis. Who's, uh, someone who's, you know, obviously in a position to speak for what, uh,

00:22:06.140 what, what, for, for Jesus Christ. Is it, let me ask you, uh, climber, is it of Christ? Is it of

00:22:14.580 Christ to be, uh, an obnoxious a-hole to the extent that your own side hates you and then to turn around 0.86

00:22:21.500 and appropriate, uh, the, the female identity to put yourself above criticism? Is that, is that of 0.96

00:22:27.960 Christ? And before we even get to the nonsense, the climber was, uh, vomiting out of his lying 0.97

00:22:34.460 mouth, look at the screen. Maybe you noticed that on the screen. Maybe you noticed the words on, 0.86

00:22:40.240 on the screen. Right there, the headline, transgender shooting suspect sparks outrage on the right.

00:22:48.180 Well, yes, yes, it did. You got us. Guilty as charged. Uh, that's true. Our, our outrage was

00:22:55.020 indeed sparked by the murder of children. Yeah, that's, uh, that's us, you know, this conservative

00:23:00.500 snowflakes, overly sensitive. We get, we get, we get very upset when psychopaths go and murder

00:23:07.320 children. Yeah, we are. We were very upset about that. That is always an effective way to make us

00:23:14.180 outraged is to murder children. So you people get outraged by being misgendered. Okay. You get 0.98

00:23:21.500 outraged if somebody uses a pronoun you don't like. We get outraged by the mass slaughter of

00:23:25.700 children. Mass slaughter of children, by the way, in any form. So the mass slaughter of children at

00:23:29.660 school, we get outraged by that. The mass slaughter of children at an abortion clinic, we get outraged

00:23:33.960 by that. And so that's where we differ, I suppose. That effect is, is, it's true. That's one of the

00:23:40.160 major dividing lines in the culture. Do you oppose the mass murder of children or not? And there is an

00:23:49.040 entire side of the political divide that not only doesn't oppose it, but openly advocates for the

00:23:54.700 mass slaughter of children, especially when it happens in an abortion clinic. So I do appreciate 1.00

00:23:59.960 how MSNBC is admitting, I mean, they're admitting that only conservatives are outraged by this,

00:24:05.460 which is also true. Um, as for the rest of it, no, God didn't, uh, make you transgender.

00:24:12.700 You know, God, God made you since, since you want to take the conversation in this direction.

00:24:22.960 And once again, we see this dichotomy here where on the left, they're constantly accusing the right

00:24:28.740 of, uh, Bible thumping and of, of, you know, all of our positions. We only take those positions because

00:24:35.400 it's what our religion told us. Meanwhile, as I'm always reminding you in any of these conversations,

00:24:42.260 whether it's transgenderism or abortion or even gay marriage, you know, if there's a debate between

00:24:47.120 the two sides and religion is brought into it and the Bible is brought into it and Jesus is brought

00:24:51.960 into it, 99% of the time, it's the left bringing that into the conversation.

00:24:59.900 And the game is that they bring it into the conversation. If we respond by saying, well,

00:25:03.780 no, because the Bible says this, well, stop throwing the Bible at me, you Bible thumper. 0.95

00:25:07.160 Since you bring this up, no, God did not, uh, make you transgender. God made you a male. That's how 0.89

00:25:15.400 you were made. That's what you were made. And that's also what you recognized yourself to be,

00:25:19.700 uh, until just a few years ago. That is what you were made to be. And that's what makes transgender, 0.99

00:25:27.760 one of the things that makes the transgender ideology, uh, so insidious is that it encourages 1.00

00:25:33.320 people to reject their God given nature, what God has actually made them to be.

00:25:41.840 Which brings us to another point I wanted to make, uh, quickly on the, on the, on the trans topic.

00:25:46.820 We talked about those insurrectionists in, uh, Kentucky. We had them in Tennessee. We had them

00:25:52.280 in Kentucky and in Kentucky, they invaded the Capitol building and they were, uh, screaming and crying and

00:25:58.420 all the rest of it, shouting slogans. Uh, they also held a, what they called a die in. And so this is

00:26:04.160 where they all just splayed out on the ground. It looked much like an airport terminal, people all

00:26:09.420 lying on the ground, uh, except in this case, they're pretending to be dead because they're making

00:26:13.580 the point, trying to make the point that, you know, those of us who oppose transgenderism, we are 0.86

00:26:19.920 killing trans people and that, uh, we're, we're contributing to a genocide of trans people. 0.90

00:26:27.160 But this is where we have to, we have to state the fact because it's true that, you know, the 0.99

00:26:37.520 greatest threat to the life of a transgender person, you take any individual trans identified 1.00

00:26:44.460 person, the greatest threat to that person's life is that person himself. Okay. If a trans person 1.00

00:26:54.900 is going to be killed, most likely he's going to die at his own hands. The person most likely to, 0.99

00:27:05.060 uh, kill a trans person is himself. And that's what the, that's what the suicide rate tells us. 0.98

00:27:11.960 That's just, that's a statistical fact. You know, the number of trans people who are murdered by

00:27:17.980 somebody else, infinitesimally small, that's an infinitesimally small percentage. And as we've

00:27:22.760 talked about the number of trans people killed allegedly for being trans in like an actual hate

00:27:27.940 crime, even smaller, it's smaller than you take the infinitesimal, uh, you know, slice of, of trans 0.97

00:27:35.260 death that is murder. It's an even, it's an even smaller slice of that slice. That is an actual

00:27:40.900 hate crime. Um, but as everybody agrees and knows there are trans people and many more trans people,

00:27:49.720 uh, being killed every single year. It's just that in almost all of those cases, they're killing

00:27:55.380 themselves because the, you know, the, uh, the trans suicide rate is somewhere around 40%.

00:28:03.000 And the rate of trans people who report having considered suicide is much greater. It's much

00:28:10.600 more than half. And it depends on what a study you look at and which poll or survey you look at, but

00:28:16.060 matter, matter where you're looking for your data, suicidal ideation among trans people is

00:28:22.260 by far and away, the majority of them.

00:28:25.000 Um, that's where the threat lies. Those are the people killing trans people themselves. 1.00

00:28:35.000 This, this catastrophically high suicide rate that is historically unprecedented. 0.81

00:28:41.640 And all of the explanations that the trans activists themselves give for this suicide rate,

00:28:47.480 they're the ones who, they also are the ones who bring that up most of the time.

00:28:50.460 They're going to bring up the, the fact that, uh, that the trans suicide rate is so high.

00:28:55.260 All the explanations they give for that high suicide rate make no sense. And they fall apart

00:29:01.400 the second you start to scrutinize those arguments. Because what are they going to tell us?

00:29:07.140 They're going to say, well, this only is happening because trans people are, uh, bullied and

00:29:11.620 persecuted and all the rest of it. Well, if that was the case, then we should see that as society

00:29:18.120 becomes more accepting of transgenderism, that the suicide rate plummets. And that is not happening

00:29:24.540 at all. In fact, we live in a society right now where trans people are celebrated, are breathlessly 1.00

00:29:31.880 celebrated by all of the major institutions in our country. And, uh, they're throwing parades in the

00:29:37.760 street. They're celebrating them constantly. And that apparently has done nothing really to bring

00:29:42.760 the suicide rate down. And then you compare that to the experiences of any group of people

00:29:50.380 historically, any other demographic who experienced real persecution. I'm talking about enslavement,

00:29:57.220 mass execution, genocide, actual genocides, like rounding you up and throwing you into a death camp

00:30:03.300 kind of genocide. You look at, you look at groups of people that experienced those. And unfortunately,

00:30:07.280 there've been many groups historically who have gone through that. None of them had a suicide rate of

00:30:12.380 40 percent or even close to it or even anywhere close to it. In fact, in many cases, it was the

00:30:20.040 opposite effect. In many cases, there's the effect of the suicide rate going down in the face of

00:30:25.080 persecution. As the people in that group, uh, you know, rally around each other and, uh, and, and all of

00:30:34.520 that. So if anything, that's where you see the trend. It's only with, with trans people where they 1.00

00:30:39.980 allegedly respond to bullying, uh, with a, with a 40 percent suicide rate. And what that tells you is

00:30:46.860 that it's got nothing to do with anything external. It's got nothing to do with the environment. It's

00:30:51.000 got nothing to do with anything that I'm saying or that you say when you criticize trans ideology.

00:30:55.980 It's something, it is, it is, it's, it's rooted in the despair that itself is rooted in a person's

00:31:03.180 inability to accept their own inherent nature. That, you know, your inability or refusal to accept

00:31:09.260 that breeds despair. And then that is what causes the suicide rate. All right. So this is, uh, something

00:31:16.820 a little bit different from Fox News. An artificial intelligence expert with more than two decades of

00:31:20.860 experience studying AI safety said that, uh, said an open letter calling for a six month moratorium

00:31:27.520 on developing powerful AI systems does not go far enough. Eliezer Yudkowsky, a decision theorist at the

00:31:36.180 Machine Intelligence Research Institute wrote in a recent op-ed that the six month pause in developing

00:31:41.340 AI systems more powerful than GPT-4, uh, called for by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and hundreds of other

00:31:48.320 innovators and experts understates the seriousness of the situation. He would go further implementing a

00:31:53.620 moratorium on new large AI learning models that is indefinite and worldwide. So he wants an indefinite

00:31:59.960 moratorium on all of these, um, AI systems. He said in a letter, powerful AI systems should be developed

00:32:07.560 only once we are confident that the effects will be positive and their risk be manageable. The key

00:32:12.960 issue is not human competitive intelligence, as the open letter puts it. It's what happens after AI gets,

00:32:18.180 uh, smarter than human intelligence. He says that, uh, Yudkowsky warns that there is no

00:32:23.400 proposed plan for dealing with a super intelligence that decides the most optimal solution to whatever

00:32:28.220 problem it is tasked with solving is annihilating all life on earth. He also raises concerns that

00:32:33.100 AI researchers don't actually know if learning models have become self-aware and whether it's

00:32:37.280 ethical to own them if they are. So this is what he's claiming. This is, and this is the concern that

00:32:42.700 we're hearing from people now is that we've got to be very worried about AI because number one,

00:32:47.680 uh, they could become self-aware and maybe they already are these, uh, you know, these chat bots

00:32:53.500 and everything. Maybe they have a, they, they, they are a conscious actually. They, they, they become

00:32:59.340 their own consciousness. And then once that happens, then do they form together to, to become some sort

00:33:05.420 of super intelligence that as he says, uh, annihilates all life on earth because maybe the robots would

00:33:10.860 say, well, all these problems that we're supposed to be solving, probably the simplest solution is

00:33:16.500 just to, uh, start exterminating people. It's a one hand, that's not an implausible theory because

00:33:22.460 many of these AI, uh, systems are being programmed by leftists. And we know for leftism, that is the

00:33:28.160 solution. These are, these, these are eugenicists. And this is what they believe is they believe that

00:33:33.340 the way you solve a lot of these problems is by reducing the number of people on earth. They say

00:33:37.220 one of the biggest problems that we face right now, according to them is the fact that there are too

00:33:40.180 many people on earth. And so we have to reduce the number, um, because people are, uh, you know,

00:33:45.180 a cancerous blight on mother earth. So it, in a certain way you can, you can, um, anticipate AI

00:33:52.420 being programmed that way, but I still am not terribly concerned about AI wiping out all life

00:33:59.580 on earth. Okay. That's not the risk. Um, but I am still worried about AI. I think it's a, it's a

00:34:07.020 very serious concern. My worry though, is not that it kills people. Okay. But that it makes life

00:34:15.680 for people miserable. It doesn't, it doesn't kill humans. Instead, it kills the human spirit.

00:34:23.700 That's what we should be concerned about with AI technology and with, with, uh, with,

00:34:29.360 with much of modern technology. Doesn't mean we want to live in the stone age, but this is the

00:34:35.660 downside. It's not, this is not, it's not a sci-fi movie where, where a chat bot becomes, look, none

00:34:41.940 of these chat bots are self-aware and Siri on your iPhone is not, is not self-aware. That's just not

00:34:47.920 happening. Uh, as far as we know, it's not possible for inorganic matter to develop consciousness.

00:34:55.380 There's no indication at all that that's even physically possible. All we have are the sci-fi

00:35:03.880 films and books that we all grew up with all these stories. And so we're all, even these scientists

00:35:09.000 and these AI theorists, they are heavily influenced by fiction. And, um, and so they're coming up with

00:35:15.840 this story that's really rooted in that. So that's not going to happen. Okay. The robots are not

00:35:20.960 becoming self-aware. They're not going to band together. It's not Terminator. They're not going to

00:35:24.720 try to enslave us. Um, but what is going to happen and what is happening right now is that this

00:35:30.300 technology makes human beings increasingly useless and obsolete. Okay. By taking away jobs as we get

00:35:39.280 self-driving cars and you don't need people driving cars anymore. You don't need truck drivers. You

00:35:44.300 don't need, you know, we, so we'd get rid of that, get rid of that. Uh, and as the, um, as the chat bots

00:35:51.000 and these kinds of systems are able to start like composing, um, in fact, I just read the other day

00:35:57.020 that, uh, Buzzfeed has already started using AI to generate its articles, which means we don't need

00:36:01.880 Buzzfeed, uh, writers anymore. And I know that that in and of itself seems like more of a perk than a

00:36:07.500 downside that we're getting rid of Buzzfeed writers, but it just shows that this is the trend,

00:36:11.840 making human beings obsolete, um, taking away jobs, taking away work, making, you know, and then also 0.95

00:36:19.000 kind of paradoxically at the same time, uh, also making life far too easy. It takes your job

00:36:26.520 away. It's not easy, but in general, kind of like all this technological advancement, removing all

00:36:31.500 resistance from life, prioritizing efficiency and convenience above everything else. You don't

00:36:37.980 have to work for anything. It's all just handed to you. Um, and I think that also breeds 0.99

00:36:44.540 boredom, which breeds despair. Uh, so it's, it's kind of on a deeper level, but I think that's what

00:36:51.900 we need to be concerned about when it comes to AI. Uh, also wanted to mention this, uh, from Daily

00:36:58.660 Wire, an anthropology researcher at the University of Pittsburgh was incredulous after champion female

00:37:04.100 collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines pinned him on a basic question about the biological difference 0.95

00:37:08.860 between men and women, which prompted raucous laughter from students, uh, Gaines, a recent

00:37:13.400 University of Kentucky graduate who tied for fifth place with transgender identifying swimmer Leah

00:37:17.040 Thomas at the NCAA championship last year, recently delivered a talk at the University of Pittsburgh

00:37:21.800 about men and women sports to a room of pact with students. Gabby Yearwood, a senior lecturer at the

00:37:27.460 school's anthropology department, rejected the notion that researchers can use skeletal evidence to

00:37:32.300 determine a deceased person's sex. So this is, you know, this, this is always going to be one of the,

00:37:39.920 one of the many kind of mic drop rejoinders that you can have if you're on the pro sanity side in the

00:37:46.100 gender discussion, uh, is, is by asking, look, however, somebody identifies, they die, they're dug up,

00:37:53.300 their bones are dug up by, uh, by archeologists or anthropologists. Um, a hundred years from now,

00:37:59.980 what are those scientists going to say about that person's sex? And that's definitive because they

00:38:07.760 will be able to determine based on that, the sex, the gender identity won't mean anything anymore,

00:38:12.000 but this person tried to claim, uh, the opposite. Let's watch this moment.

00:38:18.020 I actually have a question for you. You being an anthropologist, which anthropology is the study of

00:38:24.040 human civilization? Human? So if you were to dig up a human, two humans, and a hundred years from

00:38:32.940 now, both man and woman, could you tell the difference? Strictly off of bones?

00:38:36.760 No. Because there's a wide range of skulls. I'm sorry to see you.

00:38:45.660 Human, huh?

00:38:46.660 I'm not sure why I'm being loud at it if I'm the expert in the room. Have any of you been to archeological sites?

00:39:00.660 Have any of you studied biological anthropology? I'm just saying, I've got over 150 years of data.

00:39:14.560 I'm just curious as to why I'm being laughed at. I actually, believe it or not, I have put a lot of research into this.

00:39:23.560 Because I, I, I'm not, I'm not comparing myself to you. I'm not comparing myself to you. I'm just telling you that I have considered all viewpoints.

00:39:36.420 Okay. He, he never explains how that could possibly be the case. Uh, well, no, you can't, you can't tell the sex at all.

00:39:43.840 But, and, and his, his reasoning, his defense of that is why I have a PhD. So I'm the expert. So this is what I, what I say goes.

00:39:53.560 This is the, this is the kind of the Tony Fauci approach. You know, we've heard from Fauci that, that he, he is, I am the science.

00:39:59.820 He says, I'm, I'm the science. If you disagree with me, you disagree with science. I represent science.

00:40:05.320 And, uh, and this is how they all feel about themselves. They get the, they get the credentials, they go and they, uh, get the expensive piece of paper.

00:40:12.300 And now they represent science. So science is not what it actually is, which is a process of understanding the physical world.

00:40:22.880 That's all that science is. It's the process by which we come to understand, uh, phenomena in the physical world.

00:40:30.000 That's, that's science. That's what it actually is. But to these people who call themselves scientists, it's, it's, science is, uh, whatever they say.

00:40:38.120 It's their own, it's their own viewpoint. And they are, they are, uh, sort of, sort of avatars for science itself.

00:40:45.700 Um, but this is just total nonsense. I mean, he, he is denying, uh, he's denying like the entire history of anthropology and archaeology.

00:40:58.920 And you can go, if you want to, if you want to check the facts here, you can go on Google and just look up countless, hundreds of stories, thousands of stories of scientists digging up some ancient bones from centuries ago.

00:41:15.260 And all the things they're able to tell about that person. Um, because as it turns out, you know, your sex is a reality that is, it's not just, as we have been trying to establish, it's, it's not just about hormones.

00:41:34.860 It's not about one individual thing. If you are a woman, then your entire body is, you know, attests to that fact. 0.64

00:41:44.160 And as long as some part of your body remains, then they'll be able to determine your sex.

00:41:52.720 All right, one other thing before we get to the comment section, Unilad has this.

00:41:56.340 Just a few decades ago, humans took a giant leap for mankind and stepped foot on the moon.

00:42:00.360 Now, NASA is planning to leap even further.

00:42:03.560 Today, the space agency announced the establishment of a new moon to Mars program office at NASA headquarters in Washington,

00:42:09.660 which will be tasked with paving the way to getting humans on Mars.

00:42:13.020 It comes following the initial establishment of the moon to Mars program,

00:42:16.120 which plans to send the first woman and first person of color to the surface of the moon

00:42:20.400 and help use what we learned there to prepare for the trip to the red planet.

00:42:24.240 So, unfortunately, our trip to the moon has to be delayed a little bit because we need to,

00:42:28.920 we need to check this box of getting a woman and a black person on the moon. 1.00

00:42:33.520 Once we've done that, then we can actually proceed with actual space exploration.

00:42:39.240 But the idea of going to Mars, I don't have to tell you that I love the idea.

00:42:44.560 I think it's worth all the money that it will cost and then some.

00:42:47.360 I think that a new space age, an actual new space age, which is not just billionaires, you know,

00:42:56.640 flying up and orbiting the Earth one time for a sightseeing tour.

00:43:01.000 I mean, that's good for them, but that's not space age.

00:43:03.380 I'm talking about a new space age of discovery.

00:43:06.040 I think that that would be a part of how we save our civilization.

00:43:12.560 And I really mean that.

00:43:13.340 And I don't mean that it saves our civilization because we can set up colonies on Mars or whatever.

00:43:18.120 Because that idea I've never totally understood.

00:43:21.980 Who would actually want to go live there?

00:43:23.400 I know that I wouldn't.

00:43:25.360 So, the idea that, well, hey, life on Earth is unlivable.

00:43:28.560 This is a theory.

00:43:29.600 Life becomes unlivable in the future.

00:43:31.600 So, let's go to a place where it's negative 80 degrees on average

00:43:34.620 and the atmosphere is toxic and you can't breathe it.

00:43:37.720 And once every few years, there are massive dust storms that cover the entire planet.

00:43:41.740 Let's go there instead because the Earth is unlivable.

00:43:44.680 I've never understood that.

00:43:45.440 No, my point is that it saves humanity by giving us something to strive for,

00:43:50.820 giving us something to dream about and reach for,

00:43:54.460 like giving us something to do as a civilization.

00:43:59.620 And it turns out that it's not just individuals that need things to do with their lives.

00:44:04.080 An entire civilization needs that too.

00:44:05.820 You need something to point towards and strive for.

00:44:09.280 You need goals, right?

00:44:12.620 And right now, we really don't have any.

00:44:14.140 So, I think that this could help with that.

00:44:16.300 It would also give us a triumphant moment, like to actually land on Mars.

00:44:22.660 So, for the first time, human beings stepping foot on another planet,

00:44:26.800 this would be a triumphant victory.

00:44:29.460 This would be a historic moment and in a good way because we haven't had that.

00:44:36.120 I don't think in my lifetime we've had that.

00:44:39.240 Not very many, anyway.

00:44:41.720 These days, if you hear about this is a historic moment, history will remember this moment.

00:44:48.540 It's almost always something terrible, like the first president of the United States to be arrested.

00:44:55.080 Historic moment.

00:44:55.960 Yeah, it's historic, sure, but it's a historic shame.

00:45:02.120 It's not a historic triumph, and we haven't had that.

00:45:04.340 We haven't really had that since the moon landing, which I wasn't alive for.

00:45:09.940 And that would give us that.

00:45:11.040 So, that's my pitch for landing on Mars.

00:45:14.880 Also, it would just be really cool.

00:45:16.460 Let's get to the comment section.

00:45:17.700 Hard Rock Music Fan says,

00:45:32.980 Best cancellation ever.

00:45:34.240 These people on airplanes somehow managed to even be worse than the types of travelers on buses somehow.

00:45:40.340 I actually prefer to sit in the middle seat, and I'm still okay with these rules.

00:45:43.400 Perfectly rational and acceptable.

00:45:45.140 But I'm sorry, you prefer to sit in the middle seat?

00:45:48.440 You prefer it? 0.98

00:45:49.460 What kind of freak are you?

00:45:51.080 This is actually, you should be on some kind of registry somewhere. 0.97

00:45:55.120 I mean, no offense.

00:45:55.740 I don't mean any offense by that, but this is, that is not, that's a, you know, I, we talk about a lot of, many different forms of perversion, but that's a deep one right there.

00:46:06.240 You prefer to sit in the middle.

00:46:08.000 How could you prefer it?

00:46:09.540 It's, like, objectively the worst place to be on the plane.

00:46:14.860 So, you prefer to have less space?

00:46:17.520 And someone says, well, you could have more space or less space.

00:46:19.820 I'll take less.

00:46:21.320 I'll take less, you know, I'll take less personal space.

00:46:23.740 I prefer to have less.

00:46:24.400 I prefer to be sandwiched in between two smelly strangers.

00:46:29.140 I want that. 0.92

00:46:29.920 That's what you're telling me.

00:46:31.900 Like, do you prefer, do you, do you prefer it when you go to a restaurant and they spit in your food?

00:46:37.180 It's like, would you prefer that?

00:46:40.420 Anyway, thanks for, thanks for listening.

00:46:42.680 Max says, Matt's clearly never had his flight delayed repeatedly over the course of a day with the travel agency unable or unwilling to provide for alternative accommodations.

00:46:51.580 People will sleep at airports because they're not at home and nowhere near their home.

00:46:56.220 Get over it.

00:46:57.480 Okay, Max.

00:46:58.180 First of all, there is no flying or airport scenario that I have not experienced.

00:47:04.060 Okay, I practically live in airports these days.

00:47:07.980 And so, I've been through all of that.

00:47:10.620 It's no excuse.

00:47:11.700 I have been dead tired, gone like two hours of sleep in four days, just walking like a zombie through airports.

00:47:18.680 And I don't sleep because I'm a grown man, an adult.

00:47:22.200 It is shameful and disgraceful to sleep in front of strangers, especially in an environment that's not made for it.

00:47:29.420 And also, travel agency?

00:47:32.920 What, do you, do you, do you use fax machines too?

00:47:35.980 You have a travel agency?

00:47:37.140 Do those even exist anymore?

00:47:40.700 Maybe that's your problem.

00:47:41.980 Maybe that's why you're running into problems because you're using a travel agency from 1982.

00:47:46.280 Davin says, Matt, I feel like you're starting to get the same disconnect from people that the people in MSM have.

00:47:57.660 I work full-time making $19 an hour at 22 years old in my area, northern Arizona, making $19 is FU money.

00:48:05.700 I'm having minimal expenses to the point I only pay for what I absolutely have to.

00:48:10.500 And I still live not even paycheck to paycheck, but worse.

00:48:14.260 My family's the only reason I'm not homeless.

00:48:16.940 All I've ever wanted in life is to make a family and have kids, but at this rate, I might be able to afford to feed a child at 35.

00:48:22.540 Our values are changing because liberals offer values more accommodating to people struggling through no or little fault of their own. 0.97

00:48:30.260 Not to even mention the fact that a damn speeding ticket for going 10 over is a $300 ticket. 0.86

00:48:36.000 The margin of error for us broke boys is so small, almost any fine from anywhere is enough to take from what's served for dinner. 0.98

00:48:42.800 It takes us half a year to recover from a $1,500 car repair bill.

00:48:47.500 My point of all this is don't give people like me s*** on your show for not wanting kids when the problem is those of us that want them literally can't.

00:48:56.140 Okay, well, Davin, you're 22 years old.

00:48:59.260 Okay, you're 20.

00:49:00.080 Let me, it's not a competition.

00:49:02.220 Okay, but I was, when I was 22, I was more broke than you are right now.

00:49:06.800 And I also lived alone, and I wasn't homeless.

00:49:09.460 I just didn't live in any kind of luxury whatsoever.

00:49:13.320 So you're 22.

00:49:15.040 That's, you know, being broke and just like working paycheck to paycheck and struggling to get by.

00:49:21.320 That's what you're supposed to do at 22.

00:49:23.300 It's better to have that at 22 as opposed to, you know, having life be too easy.

00:49:29.400 Like this is the time.

00:49:30.640 And right, you're not, you don't have kids yet.

00:49:32.800 You're not married yet, I assume.

00:49:35.160 And so it's, and so you're in a position where it's okay for you to struggle because you don't have to bring, you don't have dependents that are depending on you.

00:49:47.160 You're only 22.

00:49:48.760 So, you know, when I talk about the value of having a family and having kids, that could still very much apply to you.

00:49:59.040 You're only 22 years old.

00:50:00.500 So you don't need to write off having kids at 22 because you're struggling right now.

00:50:06.100 And I understand, again, I understand the struggles.

00:50:07.940 I went through it myself at your age.

00:50:09.680 What I'm trying to tell you is that you're very, very young.

00:50:12.720 You got a long, you're just, you're just starting the early phases of young adulthood.

00:50:19.320 You just got started.

00:50:20.300 You just became an adult practically like yesterday.

00:50:23.980 Okay.

00:50:24.280 And so you don't need to write off any of this.

00:50:28.840 And you say, at this rate, you won't be able to have kids until you're 35.

00:50:31.740 You won't have the money to afford them.

00:50:33.360 But there's no reason why it has to continue at this rate.

00:50:35.960 Okay.

00:50:36.280 You're making 19 bucks an hour at 22 years old.

00:50:38.600 And you're assuming that your rate of pay and your salary is going to just continue rising, you know, at a rate commensurate with what's happened so far.

00:50:50.700 But that's not the way it has to work.

00:50:53.260 You're just establishing yourself right now.

00:50:55.940 And building, you know, you're in the early stages, again, of building your life as a young adult.

00:51:03.360 So there's no reason why at 22 you have to consign yourself to this notion that you won't be able to start a family at all or maybe not until your mid-30s.

00:51:13.800 So take heart is what I'm trying to say.

00:51:16.020 And also, I very much disagree with the idea that liberals offer values that are accommodating to people who are struggling.

00:51:25.220 Liberal values, left-wing values, these are anti-human values.

00:51:29.020 They don't accommodate anyone.

00:51:30.040 They don't care about anyone.

00:51:34.520 Gregor says, I don't really agree with Matt's defense of asking for the manifesto here, but not in other cases.

00:51:41.980 Instead, I would make this argument.

00:51:43.360 We don't need the manifesto when there's a common understanding that something could exist.

00:51:47.700 The racists who shot up the supermarket, everyone who watched the video, gets what that was about.

00:51:52.520 Publicizing the manifesto adds nothing and risks copycats.

00:51:55.880 On the other hand, if there's a refusal to acknowledge an obvious motivation,

00:51:59.540 then the manifesto is critical, especially if it leads to the predictable and clearly dishonest,

00:52:03.360 don't believe your lying eyes defense.

00:52:05.540 Here, the motivation is clear.

00:52:06.760 The transness is a part of the equation. 0.98

00:52:09.340 Christianity is part of the equation.

00:52:11.240 Both of these are denied by one-sided discourse.

00:52:14.640 This denial is just a smokescreen defense, only possible while the manifesto is locked up.

00:52:22.180 Well, I don't think that you said you disagreed with my argument, but I think you basically restated my argument.

00:52:27.280 I concur absolutely with you.

00:52:30.400 Yes, that is.

00:52:31.360 Maybe you've put it together more succinctly than I did.

00:52:34.360 But, um, so I'll give you credit for that.

00:52:36.900 But that is the reason for releasing the manifesto, okay?

00:52:40.600 That's why there's nothing inconsistent in saying that in some of these past mass shootings,

00:52:45.680 there was no reason really to release the manifesto.

00:52:48.080 I still don't think, like, I'm not in favor of the government hiding these sorts of things at all.

00:52:53.160 So, when there's any kind of mass shooting and people are killed and the person who did it has written out their reasons for doing it,

00:53:03.220 there's no scenario where I would be okay with government authorities hiding that from the public

00:53:08.940 because the public has a right to have access to that.

00:53:12.680 But, in other cases, I think, um, there's no reason for the media to go out of the way to publicize it or dissect it too much

00:53:23.640 because, as you say, it's like an established thing.

00:53:27.000 Nobody denies it.

00:53:28.040 Whereas, in this case, there are people who just fundamentally deny that this radical trans agenda

00:53:40.280 and the rhetoric that we hear from institutions about the trans issue,

00:53:44.440 that it has the effect of radicalizing people and encouraging violence.

00:53:47.060 So, people that deny this absolutely.

00:53:49.820 And so, that's where the manifesto comes into play.

00:53:53.240 And finally, Becca says,

00:53:55.100 The plane etiquette was hilarious, much needed after all the horrible things currently going on.

00:53:58.840 It wasn't supposed to be funny.

00:54:00.860 This is not only serious, but when it comes to behavior on planes or really any time I'm dissecting etiquette,

00:54:08.140 it's, uh, I'm never more serious than in those moments.

00:54:10.660 So, just to be totally clear.

00:54:12.160 And you're also banned from the show, obviously.

00:54:14.580 Do you need a new show to watch?

00:54:16.240 I'm sure you do, considering that other than Succession and a handful of alien documentaries, 0.98

00:54:20.460 most of what's out there is absolute garbage. 0.94

00:54:23.080 Well, not a handful. 0.96

00:54:23.760 I mean, all of the alien documentaries are great.

00:54:25.440 So, that and Succession, a couple others.

00:54:27.300 So, if you like good shows, you should check out season two of The Search with Ben Shapiro.

00:54:31.380 A couple weeks ago, Ben was joined by comedian Russell Brand.

00:54:34.260 And this week, he sits down with the always enjoyable Megyn Kelly.

00:54:37.540 Here's a look at their latest episode.

00:54:39.300 When you first get married and your spouse is sick, you're like,

00:54:41.720 Oh, my God, I'll take care of you.

00:54:42.780 This is so, I feel so bad for you.

00:54:44.300 Now, when you have kids and obligations, they're like, why do you get to be sick?

00:54:47.160 I need your wife here right now. 1.00

00:54:48.320 Because every woman out there knows that the man flu is way, way worse than the woman flu ever is. 1.00

00:54:53.420 In fact, there's no accident I did not get the flu.

00:54:55.240 Because the guys get all the illnesses and the mothers are not allowed. 1.00

00:54:57.880 We have to build up our immunities before we get married and have children.

00:55:00.040 Otherwise, the whole family collapses.

00:55:01.620 The Search is not an interview show.

00:55:11.920 It is a conversation show.

00:55:13.320 There is a difference.

00:55:14.080 And you see the difference when you watch the show, which you showed.

00:55:16.200 The episodes are unscripted.

00:55:17.460 They're loose.

00:55:17.880 They're entertaining.

00:55:30.800 Join today by going to dailywireplus.com.

00:55:33.940 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:55:39.420 We've been following on this show the efforts in California to instate a policy of reparations for black residents of the state,

00:55:45.720 attempting to right the wrongs of slavery by, according to the proposal, giving each black resident $5 million.

00:55:52.660 But as I asked a few days ago, why $5 million?

00:55:55.100 Why not more?

00:55:55.620 I mean, if we have decided to enter into a fantasy world where it's wise or even possible to hand multimillion-dollar checks to millions of people as payment for wrongs that they never personally suffered,

00:56:05.580 why limit it to just $5 million?

00:56:08.520 Well, now the activists in the state are actually asking the same question, predictably.

00:56:12.660 From Fox, quote,

00:56:14.220 Activists on Wednesday demanded that the state of California pay millions of dollars to each black resident in reparations as a way to make amends for slavery and subsequent discrimination,

00:56:22.520 dismissing the idea of payments of $5 million per person as nothing and too little.

00:56:27.480 The demands were made at an in-person meeting of the California Reparations Task Force,

00:56:30.960 which was created by the state legislation signed by Governor Gavin Newsom in 2020.

00:56:36.200 The committee was hearing comments from the public as it considers final recommendations to submit to the California legislature,

00:56:42.300 which will then decide whether to implement the measures and send them to Newsom's desk to be signed into law.

00:56:47.820 So here's a clip of just one of the activists who is not satisfied with $5 million.

00:56:53.680 Here's what he proposes instead.

00:56:55.920 Reparations are overdue for all foundational black Americans. 1.00

00:56:59.060 Foundational black Americans that were killed for nothing, 0.97

00:57:02.040 babies taken away from mothers, 0.95

00:57:03.480 fathers killed for protecting their families,

00:57:05.140 and families broken up on purpose for a profit.

00:57:08.060 Medical genocide, unjust laws, and just plain out brutality.

00:57:12.080 Foundational black Americans have helped every culture to get on their feet.

00:57:14.740 Now it is foundational black Americans turn to do the same for ourselves.

00:57:19.000 Not just for my generation,

00:57:20.160 but also for the elders that took the time and did the research and educated us and taught us our true history.

00:57:25.460 Also, for the future generations to come that will lead us into the future with their heads held up high.

00:57:33.980 I believe that 5 million in reparations is too little for the work that foundational black Americans have done for this country,

00:57:40.040 and as well for other countries.

00:57:41.780 I believe that 7.6 million is a number that can be used very wisely in our foundational black American communities.

00:57:48.080 40 acres is also still a good idea,

00:57:49.800 and instead of a mule,

00:57:50.600 we were like a tractor.

00:57:51.480 I also believe that we should know the name of all the companies that participated in the slave trade

00:57:55.940 so we foundational black Americans can start up our own companies.

00:58:00.220 5 million isn't going to cut it,

00:58:01.960 but 7.6 million,

00:58:03.360 now that would be useful.

00:58:04.660 That extra 2.6 million,

00:58:05.900 that makes all the difference.

00:58:07.140 You know,

00:58:07.780 the oppression doesn't really start wearing off until you get into the $6 million range,

00:58:11.920 and by the time you're at 7.5 million,

00:58:13.640 it's almost entirely gone.

00:58:15.840 And by that,

00:58:16.600 I mean it's not gone at all,

00:58:18.200 because as we know,

00:58:19.580 you know,

00:58:19.720 since we're talking about foundational black Americans,

00:58:22.540 whatever that means,

00:58:23.680 we do know that one of the foundational beliefs of the modern left-wing race hustler

00:58:27.400 is that America is systemically inherently racist in ways that are mostly invisible,

00:58:33.220 and that black people will always be oppressed no matter what happens. 0.88

00:58:37.160 Barack Obama is oppressed. 0.99

00:58:38.800 Oprah is oppressed.

00:58:40.040 We know certainly that Colin Kaepernick and Meghan Markle are oppressed,

00:58:42.760 because they keep telling us so,

00:58:44.520 which means that even $7.6 million wouldn't actually do a single solitary thing

00:58:49.900 to heal the alleged racial wounds that these activists are allegedly suffering from.

00:58:54.560 By their own logic,

00:58:56.100 reparations are pointless.

00:58:58.920 In fact,

00:58:59.420 they are most pointless by their own logic.

00:59:04.100 Of course,

00:59:05.580 that's only one argument against the reparations idea.

00:59:08.520 There are many more,

00:59:09.260 and better ones.

00:59:10.060 I've outlined most of them on the show at various points in the past,

00:59:12.600 but today I'd like to talk about and call attention to

00:59:15.220 a different argument against reparations,

00:59:18.600 one that is,

00:59:19.380 by our culture's standards,

00:59:21.700 rather unspeakable,

00:59:23.420 which doesn't mean that it's wrong.

00:59:26.260 In fact,

00:59:26.740 it normally means precisely the opposite.

00:59:29.280 A guy named Wilford Riley,

00:59:30.560 who's a college professor with a decent social media following,

00:59:33.820 who also happens to be a black man,

00:59:36.000 made this point on Twitter yesterday.

00:59:37.600 Here's what he tweeted.

00:59:38.280 An awkward historical fact,

00:59:40.440 which genuinely complicates the reparations debate,

00:59:42.820 is that black Americans are just obviously better off on average 0.94

00:59:46.560 than we would have been

00:59:47.780 had our ancestors never come to the United States.

00:59:50.880 Pointing out something this self-evidently true

00:59:53.080 isn't justifying slavery,

00:59:54.660 which was obviously terrible for slaves

00:59:56.620 and existed globally in 1850.

00:59:58.980 But no one arguing for that $5 million today in LA

01:00:02.400 is or has ever been a slave.

01:00:04.640 Pro-POC affirmative action has been the law since 67.

01:00:09.380 Now, he's not the first person to make this point.

01:00:11.260 I remember hearing Dinesh D'Souza

01:00:13.300 articulating the same point years and years ago.

01:00:17.720 And the only thing that makes the point controversial 1.00

01:00:19.820 is the insistence by disingenuous idiots to misconstrue it. 1.00

01:00:23.420 They will say, as was referenced, 1.00

01:00:24.780 that you're justifying slavery or defending it,

01:00:27.480 perhaps even advocating for more of it.

01:00:29.940 But that is obviously not the point.

01:00:32.240 The point is that the push for reparations

01:00:35.240 rests on the notion that black Americans

01:00:38.620 are in a considerably worse spot today

01:00:41.320 than they would have been

01:00:43.160 had their ancestors never been brought here as slaves.

01:00:45.980 They say that we must repair this damage,

01:00:48.100 damage that black Americans are currently experiencing,

01:00:51.260 they say, to the tune of $5 million

01:00:53.480 or $7.5 million or maybe $75 million.

01:00:56.780 Black Americans today are the furthest removed 1.00

01:00:59.680 from that historic atrocity 0.93

01:01:01.340 and yet should be paid the most in restitution for it.

01:01:05.000 That's the claim.

01:01:06.580 But this is a false notion.

01:01:09.060 In fact, it seems rather clear

01:01:10.260 that black Americans are doing better here today

01:01:12.800 than they would be

01:01:13.860 had their ancestors generations ago

01:01:16.060 never been brought to these shores.

01:01:17.920 We can prove this point by simply asking

01:01:19.420 which African country anyone asking for reparations 0.99

01:01:21.640 would prefer to live in.

01:01:23.260 The answer, of course, is none of them.

01:01:25.140 Now, you might offer the rebuttal

01:01:26.880 that if slavery never existed,

01:01:28.320 if we're reimagining history

01:01:29.460 without that institution at all,

01:01:31.340 then Africa itself would be in a better shape,

01:01:33.900 better place, in better shape,

01:01:35.240 and maybe indeed black Americans 0.88

01:01:36.940 would be better off there. 0.78

01:01:38.360 But this seems highly unlikely

01:01:39.960 and it also ignores the fact

01:01:41.300 that Africans participated in slavery

01:01:43.100 and the slave trade

01:01:44.440 as much as they were victims of it.

01:01:45.840 Not to mention,

01:01:47.000 if we're reimagining the world

01:01:48.640 without African slavery,

01:01:50.560 then we have to also imagine it

01:01:52.100 without all other forms of global slavery

01:01:54.220 since African slavery was merely one variety,

01:01:56.500 one offshoot of this global institution.

01:02:01.400 And now we have totally,

01:02:02.940 in that point,

01:02:03.680 rewritten the history of the world

01:02:05.260 in a way so dramatic

01:02:06.620 that it's absolutely impossible to say

01:02:09.100 which individuals today

01:02:10.920 would end up worse or better

01:02:12.460 in this alternate universe.

01:02:14.000 I mean, if you go back in time

01:02:15.540 and get rid of slavery

01:02:16.920 from the entire world,

01:02:19.340 you have just,

01:02:20.460 it's impossible to say

01:02:21.940 what the world looks like right now.

01:02:24.220 Actually, what we can say

01:02:25.920 is that we'd all end up worse,

01:02:28.140 all of us today

01:02:28.900 would be in a worse spot

01:02:30.380 if slavery never existed at all

01:02:34.400 across the entire globe.

01:02:36.260 Because a change that significant

01:02:38.500 would likely shift the course of events

01:02:40.700 in a way that would mean

01:02:41.500 none of us would even exist.

01:02:42.760 It would be a world full of other people 0.97

01:02:44.500 who are not us.

01:02:46.800 So I know that I benefit today

01:02:48.560 from virtually everything my ancestors did

01:02:50.860 and everything did to them

01:02:52.220 because if any of that had not happened,

01:02:53.880 there's a very good chance

01:02:54.700 that I never would have come into being.

01:02:56.540 And as I see it,

01:02:57.160 I'd benefit from being

01:02:58.340 if the other option is not being.

01:03:00.720 So where do we land after all of this?

01:03:03.560 You know, it's absurd.

01:03:05.000 Once you get into this conversation,

01:03:06.320 well, let's get rid of this whole

01:03:07.740 huge part of history

01:03:09.340 and then try to figure out

01:03:11.800 the equation of who's better off,

01:03:13.160 who's better off. 0.89

01:03:13.500 It becomes immediately ridiculous. 0.70

01:03:17.360 And what does that mean

01:03:18.600 for the reparations discussion?

01:03:20.040 Well, it means that the discussion 1.00

01:03:21.380 is totally incoherent and stupid. 0.98

01:03:24.320 It means that any reparations plan 1.00

01:03:26.640 is an arbitrary policy

01:03:28.280 resting on a whole series

01:03:29.820 of totally unsupported

01:03:31.420 and wildly speculative assumptions

01:03:33.760 about the way things would be right now

01:03:36.140 if they weren't the way

01:03:37.380 that they actually are.

01:03:38.800 And the best we can say

01:03:40.140 about that assumption,

01:03:41.400 the assumption that blacks in this country 0.97

01:03:42.740 are worse off today 0.87

01:03:43.720 because of slavery,

01:03:44.640 is that it is a baseless theory.

01:03:47.000 But what we can really say about it

01:03:48.860 is that it's a dubious conclusion

01:03:51.140 based on fanciful

01:03:52.420 and pointless hypotheticals.

01:03:55.360 So, maybe this all brings us

01:03:58.460 to a different conclusion.

01:04:00.660 Whether you're black or white,

01:04:02.700 if you want reparations

01:04:04.100 for the wrongs committed

01:04:05.520 against your ancestors

01:04:06.720 who you never met,

01:04:08.360 you can have them.

01:04:10.880 You can have your reparations.

01:04:12.720 In fact, you have them right now.

01:04:15.480 Your reparation is that

01:04:16.980 thanks to the way history unfolded,

01:04:19.700 good and bad,

01:04:21.200 you now get to live

01:04:22.340 in the most advanced

01:04:23.320 and prosperous civilization in history.

01:04:26.260 And you get to enjoy a life,

01:04:28.180 a life of luxury and comfort

01:04:29.680 that would have been unthinkable

01:04:31.140 to the vast majority of humans

01:04:32.600 who ever lived

01:04:33.880 and even live today.

01:04:36.080 If you are listening to my words right now

01:04:38.400 and you live in America,

01:04:39.560 congratulations,

01:04:40.400 you are in the 1%.

01:04:41.720 You are probably in the 1% of the 1%.

01:04:44.280 And of all the people

01:04:45.340 who have ever existed

01:04:46.180 on the planet,

01:04:47.180 you are easily wealthier

01:04:49.040 and more comfortable

01:04:49.880 than 99% of them.

01:04:52.520 You also have more freedom

01:04:53.660 than 99% of them,

01:04:55.080 more opportunity

01:04:56.080 than 99% of them.

01:04:58.340 In fact,

01:04:58.700 no matter who you are,

01:05:00.020 you are virtually guaranteed

01:05:01.920 a stable and successful life

01:05:04.200 if you simply

01:05:06.840 graduate high school,

01:05:09.280 refrain from committing

01:05:10.080 any serious crimes,

01:05:11.900 refrain from using hard drugs,

01:05:13.180 work moderately hard

01:05:15.640 and get married

01:05:16.800 before you have children.

01:05:18.740 That's it.

01:05:19.820 Do all of that.

01:05:20.780 We're talking about

01:05:21.540 the bare,

01:05:23.200 low effort minimum.

01:05:25.880 Do all of that

01:05:26.940 and you will certainly

01:05:28.040 not end up homeless.

01:05:29.920 You will certainly

01:05:30.580 not starve

01:05:31.220 in this country.

01:05:32.720 You will certainly

01:05:33.460 not die of exposure

01:05:34.500 or malnutrition.

01:05:36.040 And you have

01:05:36.740 an extremely high chance

01:05:38.320 of living a well-adjusted,

01:05:40.080 relatively happy

01:05:41.120 and comparatively

01:05:42.220 prosperous life.

01:05:43.260 Doesn't mean

01:05:43.540 you're going to be

01:05:43.740 a millionaire.

01:05:44.660 Doesn't mean

01:05:45.200 you're going to be

01:05:45.460 wealthy by American standards,

01:05:46.980 but you'll be

01:05:47.320 a comparatively

01:05:48.120 prosperous life.

01:05:50.740 The world

01:05:51.680 has never given more

01:05:53.300 in exchange for less.

01:05:56.620 That is a fact.

01:05:59.120 And that is your reparation.

01:06:01.860 So, by all means,

01:06:03.920 go and claim it.

01:06:06.060 Or else,

01:06:07.420 you're canceled.

01:06:07.900 That will do it

01:06:09.620 for the show today

01:06:10.800 and for this week.

01:06:12.160 We'll talk to you on Monday.

01:06:13.360 Have a great weekend.

01:06:14.720 Godspeed.
