The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1238 - Deranged Leftists Celebrate Rape And Murder In The Name Of ‘Decolonization’

00:00:00.140 Today on the Matt Wall Show, war has erupted in the Middle East. The Biden administration

00:00:03.300 has failed once again. Leftists are cheering the rape and murder of innocent civilians. 0.65

00:00:06.860 We will try to make sense of all of this today. Also, the UN is focused on other things today

00:00:11.240 somehow, like protecting the rights of quote unquote trans lesbians. And today is Columbus

00:00:15.940 Day, which the left has tried to replace with Indigenous Peoples Day. I'll explain why Columbus 0.76

00:00:19.740 is a great man who deserves to be celebrated and why Indigenous Peoples Day is a laughable 1.00

00:00:24.320 disgrace. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 The G20 or Group of 20 is an international forum for governments and central bank governors.

00:00:57.260 It was established in response to the financial crisis of the late 1990s with the aim of promoting

00:01:02.000 international financial stability. Well, last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital

00:01:06.200 currencies and digital IDs on their respective populations. Central bank digital currencies

00:01:10.660 essentially allow the government to track every purchase you make. Even if you don't follow

00:01:14.760 international economic policies that closely, you should be concerned about this. And you should

00:01:18.520 consider diversifying at least some of your assets into physical gold with the help of Birch Gold

00:01:22.980 Group. Call Birch Gold today to preserve your savings in a tax-sheltered retirement account.

00:01:27.780 If you have an IRA or 401k from a previous employer that's just gathering dust, we'll call Birch Gold and

00:01:32.240 they will help you convert it into an IRA in gold. You won't pay a penny out of pocket. They simply

00:01:36.520 convert that 401k that's just sitting in a bank somewhere into physical gold, which can't be

00:01:41.140 tampered with. Text Walsh to 989898 and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold. If digital

00:01:46.480 currency becomes a reality, you'll be glad you have something physical to fall back on. Text Walsh to

00:01:51.360 989898 and claim your free info kit on gold today. Less than two weeks ago, Joe Biden's national security

00:01:59.780 advisor, Jake Sullivan, spoke at an event called the Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C. Now, if you're not

00:02:05.100 familiar with the Atlantic Festival, there's a reason for that. This is an exclusive event that's intended

00:02:10.140 only for the preeminent thought leaders in the United States. At the Atlantic Festival,

00:02:14.400 only those with, quote, complex ideas are invited to give speeches and attend the happy hours and all

00:02:20.680 the rest of it. And Jake Sullivan, who went to Yale Law School and won a Rhodes Scholarship and who now

00:02:25.700 oversees the entire national security apparatus of the United States government, certainly met that

00:02:31.240 very high bar. So what wisdom did Jake Sullivan bestow on his listeners at the Atlantic Festival

00:02:37.380 just a week and a half ago? What insight did he share? Thankfully for us plebs, the footage of 1.00

00:02:43.920 his remarks have been uploaded to the internet. And, you know, I watched the whole thing, so you don't

00:02:49.120 have to. I want to show you just one snippet that, in light of recent events, is both highly revealing

00:02:55.080 and very damning, to say the least. Watch. And what we said is we want to depressurize,

00:03:04.060 de-escalate, and ultimately integrate the Middle East region. The war in Yemen is in its 19-month

00:03:10.320 of truce. For now, the Iranian attacks against U.S. forces have stopped. Our presence in Iraq is

00:03:16.600 stable. I emphasize for now because all of that can change. And the Middle East region is quieter today

00:03:22.320 than it has been in two decades. Everything's quiet. Everything's quiet in the Middle East, 0.73

00:03:29.040 according to Joe Biden's top advisor on national security matters. In fact, they're so quiet that

00:03:33.360 Sullivan implies that he stopped paying much attention to the entire region. What did he

00:03:36.800 focus on instead? Well, if you listen to his whole discussion there, you'll learn the answer to that

00:03:41.320 question. And Sullivan says that he diverted his attention to topics like climate change on January 6th,

00:03:47.260 and how Donald Trump is a threat to democracy. All topics that were silly at the time, a week and

00:03:53.080 a half ago, and seem somehow even sillier today. Now, at this point, there's no need to go into great 0.51

00:03:59.160 detail about the events of this weekend, which reveal how horribly wrong Sullivan's assessment 0.89

00:04:03.900 was and how totally incompetent he is. I'm not going to recount all the violence and horror that

00:04:08.860 unfolded in Israel over the weekend. You know what happened by now, I'm sure. Hamas invaded Israel.

00:04:14.140 They killed hundreds, probably thousands of Israelis. They raped women next to the corpses 0.99

00:04:19.140 of their dead friends. They executed the elderly at bus stops. I don't need to go into detail because 0.99

00:04:24.680 the footage, which is unbelievably horrific, is on social media for anyone to see, and millions of

00:04:30.160 people have seen it. And so there's no dispute about anything that happened. We all know exactly

00:04:35.260 what happened. There's also no dispute, at least not anymore, that the so-called experts in the foreign

00:04:41.060 policy establishment of the U.S. government have no clue what they're doing. The people we pay to

00:04:46.680 figure out what's happening overseas, the Rhodes scholars like Jake Sullivan, are in fact completely 0.99

00:04:52.280 and totally inept. They have no idea what they're talking about. They also don't seem to care, by the 0.97

00:04:58.280 way. As American citizens were being held hostage by Hamas, Joe Biden held a barbecue in the Rose Garden

00:05:04.580 for White House staff. There was a live band and everything. They had a great time. They partied,

00:05:09.240 they ate ribs, while the Middle East descended into anarchy, which actually, come to think of it,

00:05:14.560 is not a very shocking response. I mean, Biden has, after all, taken dozens of vacations all throughout

00:05:19.460 his tenure as president, while our own country falls apart. So this is how he responds to situations

00:05:26.220 in our country and abroad. However you assess the geopolitical situation, the unavoidable

00:05:33.160 conclusion of the past few days is that the Biden administration has been a complete and historic

00:05:39.360 failure in every measurable respect. Our economy is stagnant. Our borders are in a constant state of

00:05:46.240 chaos. Our cities are overrun with criminals out on bail. We now have two major wars that have broken

00:05:52.960 out under Joe Biden's watch. Biden's top men didn't see either one of those wars coming.

00:05:59.200 All, they get all the Rhodes Scholars, all the Ivy League geniuses together. They didn't see either

00:06:05.060 one of those things coming. And they clearly had no idea how to respond to either one.

00:06:10.240 With the war in Ukraine, Joe Biden dispatched Kamala Harris to reduce tensions just before what war 0.72

00:06:15.180 broke out. He promised to bankrupt Russia with sanctions, which only push Russia towards more lucrative

00:06:20.900 deals with China. Nearly two years later, with the war in Israel, Jake Sullivan was busy chatting up

00:06:25.920 the Atlantic Festival about how peaceful and quiet the region was. And now they're cooking hamburgers.

00:06:32.960 I mean, these people are worse than malevolent. They are malevolent and stupid, which is a 1.00

00:06:37.860 radioactive combination. Now, you could rightly point out that it's not America's job to watch Israel's 1.00

00:06:46.400 border, especially when we aren't even watching our own borders. We're not the world's policemen,

00:06:50.460 as much as neocons want us to be. But at the same time, the full-scale invasion of an ally seems

00:06:57.140 kind of like something our intelligence agencies should have known about in advance.

00:07:02.420 You know, we pay these agencies a lot of money, a lot of tax money, billions and billions of dollars.

00:07:10.720 And so you'd think they'd be using it to find out about things like this before they happen.

00:07:15.200 We're talking about a highly militarized, highly surveilled border, which was infiltrated seemingly

00:07:21.660 without any resistance whatsoever. I mean, how could anything like that happen? It's possible

00:07:27.900 that if our intelligence agencies weren't so busy monitoring angry mothers at school board meetings

00:07:32.360 and obsessing over carbon emissions in the United States, then they would have had time and, you know,

00:07:37.440 more time and energy to discover stuff like this before it happens.

00:07:40.220 And that's assuming that they didn't know about this before it happened, of course. But that may

00:07:46.480 not be an entirely safe assumption. You know, there's more than enough reason to think that the US

00:07:52.060 government indirectly, if unintentionally, perhaps, assisted the militants who attacked Israel over

00:07:58.740 the weekend. The Wall Street Journal just reported that Iran helped to plot the attack and gave it the

00:08:03.460 green lights. And just so happens that, coincidentally enough, the Biden administration also recently

00:08:08.760 unfroze $6 billion that Iran has access to. And that raises a pretty obvious question, which is,

00:08:15.300 could that money have contributed to this weekend's attack in any way?

00:08:19.760 Now, if you were watching Fox News the other day, you heard the Pentagon's response via one of their

00:08:23.700 many stenographers who masquerade as journalists. Watch.

00:08:28.120 I think you have to push back on some of the statements in that statement from former President

00:08:35.120 Trump. It is an exaggeration to suggest that there is any evidence that any of the money that was

00:08:44.520 released as part of that hostage deal, that a lot of that money was tied up in, you know,

00:08:51.840 in goods. What I would say is that Iran has been funding Hamas across four presidents. 0.59

00:09:02.860 So you just heard Jennifer Griffin, Fox is a senior national security correspondent,

00:09:07.000 explaining that there's no way that the $6 billion we just unfroze for Iran had anything to do with

00:09:12.000 this weekend's attacks. Coincidentally enough, at the same time, Griffin was saying that the Biden

00:09:16.200 administration was pushing the same exact talking points on social media. Adrian Watson,

00:09:20.020 a spokeswoman for the National Security Council said, quote, not a single cent from these funds

00:09:24.580 has been spent. And when it is spent, it could only be spent on things like food and medicine for

00:09:28.720 the Iranian people. Now, what's interesting about that explanation, aside from what it reveals about

00:09:33.160 how the corporate media is just a mouthpiece for the government, is that it doesn't even begin to

00:09:38.160 make sense. I mean, let's just assume, let's assume that what they're saying is true. Let's assume

00:09:43.160 that we gifted Iran $6 billion in unfrozen assets, but we told them that they could only use it on

00:09:49.760 food and medicine. And then let's assume, it's a lot of assumptions here that probably are totally

00:09:53.200 unjustified, but then let's assume that Iran played by those rules and, you know, scouts honor and all

00:09:58.420 that, and they refuse to spend any of that money on anything resembling a terrorist attack in Israel.

00:10:04.960 Even if all that is true, it doesn't follow that the money had nothing to do with the terrorist attack,

00:10:09.760 as the Pentagon and corporate media are claiming. You don't have to be an economist to

00:10:14.800 understand that money is fungible. If you give someone $6 billion that they weren't expecting

00:10:20.320 to have, and then, you know, what that's going to do is that's going to free up $6 billion in

00:10:25.540 their budget for other activities that they might choose to engage in. So this is the, if it sounds

00:10:31.000 familiar, this is the same game the media plays when it claims that the half a billion dollars in tax

00:10:36.080 money we send to Planned Parenthood every year doesn't fund abortions. Now, it might not,

00:10:41.320 but it frees up the money that does, which is exactly the same thing. Like, if you get money

00:10:48.420 from this source and money from that source, and then you spend it on this, it makes no difference

00:10:53.840 what pot you're pulling from. It's all the same money, because money is fungible.

00:11:00.700 This point, then, what's needed is a comprehensive, impartial investigation into why we just unfroze

00:11:07.540 $6 billion in assets for Iran and whether that decision allowed Iran to bankroll an invasion

00:11:12.380 of Israel. But there's no chance any investigation like that will ever occur, because Iran isn't a 0.99

00:11:16.980 mother, you know, at a school board meeting complaining about pornography in the school

00:11:20.060 library. Therefore, this will get buried, even though there's a lot of evidence that the U.S.

00:11:25.000 government has indirectly and, we hope, inadvertently, helped support what happened

00:11:30.140 this weekend in Israel. Whatever the national security establishment and their servants in the

00:11:37.060 media tell you, this whole thing is either a massive intelligence and logistics failure by

00:11:43.800 the Biden administration or something much more sinister. The Pentagon and their lackeys in corporate

00:11:48.680 media, they can try to run interference, they can do whatever they want to try to change the subject,

00:11:53.440 but those are the two possibilities we're dealing with, and there really is no third option.

00:11:57.680 As horrible as that is to contemplate, there is still, actually, an even bigger story here,

00:12:05.380 bigger than the actions of the U.S. government to enrich terrorists and the many enemies of

00:12:09.940 civilization that have become entrenched in the Middle East. The political dimension is just one

00:12:14.340 part of this catastrophe. There's a deeper problem that we can't fix, even by firing Jake Sullivan and

00:12:20.180 ousting Joe Biden. There's the domestic cultural problem, which is far more ingrained than the political

00:12:26.320 one. Now, go on social media and take a look at the left's response to what's happening right now in

00:12:31.300 Israel. They're putting out statements that explicitly endorse Hamas's efforts to decolonize

00:12:36.460 the region by murdering and raping women and children. In Washington, D.C., activists are praising 0.97

00:12:41.640 Hamas along with Mao, who was responsible for the deaths of tens of millions of people, but it's all in the 0.97

00:12:46.740 name of equity and justice and decolonization and all the rest of it. Listen.

00:12:52.620 A great revolutionary once said, though, now is it on?

00:12:57.720 If you have not investigated, you have no right to speak. And that goes out to all these liberal

00:13:03.080 entities, to the Miami Heat, to Bernie Sanders, to whoever else that is not recognizing the right

00:13:13.460 of the Palestinian people to be free. No investigation, no right to speak. If you don't know about the

00:13:21.900 Balfour Declaration in 1917.

00:13:27.460 She's an expert while she's reading stuff from her phone that she just looked up on Google.

00:13:31.040 If you don't know about this stuff that I just Googled, then you have no right to speak.

00:13:36.820 Now, scenes like this played out throughout this country and in Canada. So here's just a sampling

00:13:40.660 of the response from pro-Hamas activists in Florida, New York, Washington State, Montreal,

00:13:46.020 and Toronto. Watch.

00:13:48.860 Less than 24 hours ago on the land, from the sea, and from the air, the people of the country

00:13:56.100 sending from the nation, and from the sea. Palestine, will be free. Palestine, will be free.

00:14:16.160 Now, what we have to remember is that these rallies took place

00:14:45.760 after everybody involved knew what actually happened in Israel.

00:14:49.860 All of these protesters knew exactly what they were protesting for.

00:14:55.080 They all saw the videos of, for example, a naked woman in the back of a pickup truck

00:15:00.640 whose body is mangled and brutalized being paraded as a trophy through the streets.

00:15:07.360 So they all saw that, and that's what they're celebrating.

00:15:11.720 I mean, that specifically is what they're celebrating.

00:15:13.360 So what explains this?

00:15:17.280 It's tempting to point to changing demographics, and there's some truth to that theory. 0.81

00:15:21.840 The West has imported millions of people from the Third World, and in particular from Islamic

00:15:25.960 nations where Sharia law and extremism is overwhelmingly popular.

00:15:29.920 But it would be a mistake to blame this problem entirely on demographic changes, as substantial

00:15:35.020 as they've been, because the truth is that academics and journalists, many of them native

00:15:39.060 to the West or working for publications based in the West, have put out statements supporting 0.95

00:15:43.560 Hamas and their efforts to decolonize by murdering and raping women and children. 0.94

00:15:48.000 I mean, there's a write-up in the New York Times, ostensibly from their news division, and this 0.98

00:15:51.580 is how they portrayed what just happened in Israel over the weekend.

00:15:54.360 For some Gazans, Saturday morning's surprise Palestinian attack into southern Israel seemed

00:16:00.000 a justified response to a 16-year Israeli blockade.

00:16:03.500 Others worried that the coordinated attack would only add to Gaza's misery as the tiny

00:16:07.460 enclave braced for a large-scale response from Israel.

00:16:11.460 That's how the New York Times covered the slaughter of hundreds of people attending a music festival.

00:16:16.160 That's how they covered the execution of elderly women at a bus stop.

00:16:19.160 It's how they reported on the rapes and murders that were caught on camera, and it goes on.

00:16:24.160 In a viral tweet, Najma Sharif, who bills herself as a Somali-American writer who works for NBC

00:16:29.900 and other outlets, had this to say about the massacres in Israel this weekend, quote,

00:16:35.220 what did y'all think decolonization meant?

00:16:37.880 Vibes?

00:16:38.620 Papers?

00:16:39.260 Essays? 0.99

00:16:40.300 Losers? 0.99

00:16:41.700 Now, you read something like that, it's tempting to dismiss that as the rantings of one unhinged 0.98

00:16:47.200 leftists, and that is indeed one unhinged leftist, but she's far from the only one. 0.93

00:16:53.400 Porn star Maya Khalifa has been hitting all the same notes. 0.97

00:16:56.460 She just reposted an image of Hamas terrorists shooting at police officers in Israel, writing,

00:17:01.220 this is a Renaissance painting.

00:17:03.020 She also appeared to justify the murder of civilians, writing, quote,

00:17:05.760 settlers are not civilians if they partake in hostilities.

00:17:08.480 In fact, according to the Rome statute, settlements are considered a war crime.

00:17:12.460 By the way, none of these leftist porn stars and mouth breathers who are salivating over

00:17:18.960 Hamas would survive a day in Gaza. 1.00

00:17:22.100 I mean, in Gaza, they don't take kindly to sexual deviance, promiscuous women, or homosexuals. 0.97

00:17:27.520 And at some level, all these leftists know that. 0.80

00:17:30.140 That's why they don't live there.

00:17:31.880 Instead, they post about it from afar.

00:17:34.400 Here's yet another example.

00:17:35.580 An editor at Harper's Magazine, which people supposedly used to take seriously, had this assessment

00:17:40.280 and try to follow this, quote, to search for an analog seems almost inappropriate to

00:17:45.500 Palestinians' world historical audacity to seize the components of self-determination

00:17:50.280 for themselves, if only because the idiom of liberation invents itself anew with each

00:17:55.820 instance that the yoke of bondage is sloughed off.

00:18:00.000 Now, what does any of that mean?

00:18:02.120 Well, it's just a word salad ultimately designed to justify the mass murder of civilians.

00:18:07.480 It makes no sense.

00:18:09.000 It's not supposed to.

00:18:09.560 It's indecipherable.

00:18:10.540 It's supposed to be indecipherable.

00:18:12.460 Part of that is because these people are constantly trying to impress you with their

00:18:15.980 intelligence.

00:18:16.940 But here's the thing. 1.00

00:18:18.260 If you can't communicate in a way that actually makes sense, then you're a moron. 1.00

00:18:22.280 You are stupid. 1.00

00:18:24.300 But one of the most basic markers of intelligence is being able to communicate clearly. 1.00

00:18:30.020 And if you can't do that, and most of these academics can't, it's because you're dumb. 0.99

00:18:33.060 But you've memorized some buzzwords that you think make you sound smart. 0.99

00:18:38.100 That's part of the idea is just to try to impress us.

00:18:40.020 But the other idea is to use this indistinguishable language as a way of justifying things that

00:18:49.140 are unjustifiable.

00:18:50.900 This is the only tactic they have.

00:18:52.520 And this is now the norm on the left.

00:18:53.840 AOC, Rashid Tlaib, the rest of the squad, they've all put out comments that maybe in

00:19:00.420 some cases are a bit more circumspect in response to the attacks in Israel.

00:19:04.060 But it's still pretty clear where their allegiances lie.

00:19:07.860 They've suggested that Israel should avoid retaliating, which is obviously insane.

00:19:12.480 But it does raise the obvious question, which is, why does the American left so routinely

00:19:19.140 side with Hamas, given that Hamas would happily behead all of them? 0.82

00:19:23.160 And the answer is really quite simple. 0.89

00:19:27.460 The American left will always align itself with the less white side.

00:19:33.080 It's just as simple as that.

00:19:35.180 That's how they see this struggle.

00:19:37.140 They see it as whiteness versus oppressed people of color.

00:19:41.460 Now, that is, to say the least, a convoluted and confused way of looking at this conflict.

00:19:47.180 But it's how they see it.

00:19:49.100 It's the formula they use for everything.

00:19:51.500 And they're using it here.

00:19:53.920 And this is actually very important for us to realize because when they explicitly justify

00:20:01.180 violent, savage atrocities in the name of decolonization, they are establishing a precedent 1.00

00:20:07.940 that is not contained to the conflict in Israel.

00:20:11.400 Remember, they consider white Americans to be colonizers, too.

00:20:17.240 We are responsible for an occupation that has been going on for 500 years, they claim.

00:20:23.920 So when you hear them cheer for the butchery of the alleged colonizers overseas, you should 0.97

00:20:29.880 realize what they're really cheering for.

00:20:33.660 Remember that they would be more than happy to see us all meet the same fate.

00:20:37.820 In fact, they're planning on it.

00:20:42.320 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:43.680 People always say, happy dog, happy life.

00:20:52.580 I know I'm saying that all the time.

00:20:53.880 Every day I say it.

00:21:55.580 So let's begin with this.

00:21:57.840 We know what the big global story was over the weekend.

00:22:01.220 The kind of thing that if you're concerned about global affairs, you might pay attention to.

00:22:05.380 In fact, if you are, say, an organization specifically formed to concern itself with

00:22:13.080 global affairs, you might pay special attention to it.

00:22:16.580 If you're an organization like the United Nations, for example.

00:22:21.040 In fact, a subsidiary organization in the UN is called UN Women, and their charter is

00:22:26.500 supposedly to focus on gender equality and women's empowerment and things like that.

00:22:32.160 Well, as mentioned in the opening, we all saw the videos of women being kidnapped,

00:22:37.360 murdered, raped en masse.

00:22:40.700 Isn't that something that UN women would really care about and have a lot to say about? 0.96

00:22:45.880 Well, apparently not.

00:22:47.140 In fact, UN Women has not, believe it or not, said one single word about the kidnap,

00:22:55.140 murder, and rape of women that happened over the weekend.

00:22:57.280 They haven't said one word about it.

00:22:58.540 Not one word.

00:22:59.160 They couldn't even muster up one tweet.

00:23:04.080 One simple tweet saying, hey, this is bad.

00:23:06.040 Don't do that.

00:23:07.980 Instead, here's what they tweeted.

00:23:10.060 And this is while everything's going on in the Middle East.

00:23:12.780 This is what they decided to tweet. 0.99

00:23:15.140 Remember, trans lesbians are lesbians too. 1.00

00:23:18.500 Let's uplift and honor every expression of love and identity.

00:23:21.920 Happy International Lesbian Day.

00:23:23.920 So, while women, actual women, are being slaughtered, this is what UN Women is thinking about. 0.99

00:23:31.780 They're thinking about men with autogynephylic fetishes.

00:23:35.940 That's the most important thing to them.

00:23:37.780 The most important thing in the world right now is defending men who have autogynephylic fetishes.

00:23:43.980 That's their top concern.

00:23:47.100 Now, never mind the fact that what they're claiming here is totally absurd and just laughably false and unintelligible. 0.98

00:23:54.560 Trans lesbians are men. 1.00

00:23:56.780 They are men attracted to women. 0.89

00:23:58.840 They are straight men.

00:23:59.840 Now, they are straight men with a bizarre fetish, but they are straight men.

00:24:07.140 They're men attracted to women.

00:24:08.400 That makes them straight.

00:24:09.940 In fact, if trans lesbians are actually lesbians, then the left's whole entire narrative about sexual orientation has been blown apart. 0.64

00:24:19.220 It's been destroyed. 0.50

00:24:21.060 Because a man who is attracted to women and identifies as a man is straight. 0.61

00:24:25.960 We all agree on that.

00:24:26.800 But if that man becomes a lesbian when he identifies as a woman, that means his orientation has changed.

00:24:34.500 Right? 0.86

00:24:35.160 He went from straight to gay.

00:24:37.860 And this is the paradox that the left runs into.

00:24:40.360 It's one of the many paradoxes created by gender ideology because gender ideology is so fundamentally nonsensical. 0.93

00:24:47.560 If gender can be changed, then by definition, so can sexual orientation.

00:24:53.640 If a trans lesbian is a lesbian, then sexual orientation can be changed. 0.81

00:24:59.940 It's that simple.

00:25:01.740 Now, they'll try to get around this by saying, well, the man who identifies as a woman was really a woman all along.

00:25:09.520 And so, really, the whole time he was a lesbian. 0.75

00:25:11.460 You know, even when he was dressed like a man and had a buzz cut and his name was Frank or something.

00:25:18.000 He was a lesbian back then, too.

00:25:20.820 And they could get away with that for a while.

00:25:22.420 Now, but not anymore because they've made gender so fluid that it really is as simple as a man can see himself as a man, identify as a man.

00:25:32.820 He really is.

00:25:33.360 Because whatever you identify as in the moment, that's what you are.

00:25:37.320 It's as simple as that.

00:25:39.160 And so, if you wake up one day and say, I identify as a woman now, then you're a woman now.

00:25:42.340 You weren't yesterday, but you are now.

00:25:43.980 Because yesterday, you identified as something else.

00:25:48.120 And because they've made it so fluid, that one excuse is gone.

00:25:52.600 And we're left with the reality that sexual orientation, even according to them, can be changed.

00:25:58.080 But they won't admit it.

00:25:59.440 They can't admit it.

00:26:00.160 They're committed to the idea that sexual orientation is hardwired, is ingrained, is inherent.

00:26:05.620 Now, they believe that sexual orientation is somehow more deeply ingrained than sex itself, which makes no sense.

00:26:20.020 I mean, it's complete gibberish.

00:26:22.620 But we can kind of put all that to the side.

00:26:25.620 And I think focus on the fact that this tweet from the UN, UN Women, is not the only reason.

00:26:37.860 And it's certainly not even in the top 50.

00:26:39.980 This is like reason number 10 million why the UN should not exist. 0.95

00:26:44.740 It is, at best, a totally useless organization. 0.79

00:26:48.500 At best, it's like some kind of vestigial organ that can and should be cut out. 0.91

00:26:55.620 That's the best thing you can say about it.

00:26:58.640 If you're looking for the most generous view of the UN, best thing you could do is say that it's an organization that maybe had some kind of function at some point in the past, but no longer does.

00:27:11.840 And so it's now useless.

00:27:15.220 At worst, though, the UN is malevolent.

00:27:17.760 It is actively harmful.

00:27:19.000 It exists to push a globalist left-wing political agenda.

00:27:22.400 It is an international activist group.

00:27:24.860 It exists to undermine national sovereignty and to undermine truth and virtue in our country and abroad across the entire globe.

00:27:33.680 That's the worst interpretation.

00:27:36.420 And, of course, this worst interpretation is the correct one.

00:27:39.200 That's what the UN is. 0.96

00:27:40.140 Which is why the UN should be dismantled and torn apart and burned to the ground metaphorically and turned into ash metaphorically. 0.99

00:27:50.200 And we should metaphorically dance around those ashes because this is an evil organization. 0.99

00:27:56.320 Okay, it's not just when you've got everything going on in the world and they tweet out trans lesbians are lesbians. 1.00

00:28:04.520 That's not just silly, frivolous, the dumb libs are focused on something that doesn't matter. 1.00

00:28:12.880 That is evil. 1.00

00:28:14.220 It's actually evil what you're seeing here.

00:28:16.820 This is an evil organization that we should not have anything to do with in our country.

00:28:23.340 Okay, moving on to this.

00:28:24.160 Late last week marked a significant occasion, at least an occasion that we're supposed to believe is significant.

00:28:30.140 It was the 25th anniversary of the death of Matthew Shepard.

00:28:33.880 And the media and many on the left published their tributes to Matthew Shepard, who they say, of course, and have been saying for two and a half decades now, was the victim of a barbaric anti-gay hate crime.

00:28:47.160 That's what they say.

00:28:48.920 And so there are a lot of examples I could show you of the left talking about this and talking about Matthew Shepard and a lot of tweets, a lot of articles and video tributes and all the rest of it.

00:29:00.340 So here's just one example.

00:29:02.180 This is from the Daily Beast.

00:29:02.980 It says, in his 1968 speech at the National Cathedral, Martin Luther King Jr. proclaimed that the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.

00:29:14.480 While that may be true, there are peaks and valleys along that path, especially when it comes to tolerance for and acceptance of those who don't fit into traditional roles and paradigms.

00:29:22.480 Consequently, reminders of past injustices and the need to keep fighting for equality and compassion remain ever relevant.

00:29:28.560 That's why Investigation Discovery is commemorating the 25th anniversary of the murder of Matthew Shepard with a heartfelt documentary about his life, his slaying, and the impact it had on a movement dedicated to achieving freedom for all.

00:29:40.260 Premiering October 9th, the Matthew Shepard story in American hate crime is a look back at a yesterday that feels long ago and yet also not so far away.

00:29:49.840 Its story is one that, in 1998, made national headlines and helped drive a campaign for hate crime legislation and, in the process, a wide range of LGBTQ plus rights.

00:29:59.400 That it took a horrific homicide to spur such changes continues to be a sad commentary about how civil liberties are acquired.

00:30:05.660 Sadder still, though, is this documentary's coda about the potential limits of progress and the consequent necessity of pushing back against the omnipresent forces of malicious bigotry.

00:30:17.040 Now, it goes on from there to tell the story of how Shepard was targeted for his sexuality and viciously murdered because of it.

00:30:25.540 In fact, we have a clip from that Investigation Discovery put out from their documentary, which is just someone reading a letter from Matthew Shepard to show what a great guy he was and how sad it all is.

00:30:38.780 Let's play that clip.

00:30:44.280 Hey, Mom.

00:30:45.180 I'm writing to say hello.

00:30:47.040 How is everything?

00:30:49.580 I've been okay.

00:30:50.720 Kind of homesick.

00:30:52.160 Having trouble with getting into this swing of things.

00:30:55.520 But it won't last long, I hope.

00:30:59.660 I've been real depressed.

00:31:01.680 And I think it's let down.

00:31:04.400 I came back and the weather was crummy.

00:31:06.920 And I miss home.

00:31:09.620 Miss you.

00:31:11.260 Love, Matt.

00:31:12.000 Okay.

00:31:12.460 Okay.

00:31:15.540 So, we got the dramatic music in the background reading the letter.

00:31:19.720 Reading the letter from Matthew Shepard like he's some sort of great historical figure.

00:31:24.680 And this is all part of the same narrative, again, that Matthew Shepard was a martyr for gay rights and he was killed for being gay.

00:31:34.940 And the problem, of course, with that narrative is that it's a total, absolute lie.

00:31:41.380 Okay.

00:31:41.600 And it still, somehow it still surprises me that there are people out there, lots of people, who don't know that this was a lie.

00:31:49.460 You know, I was tweeting about it yesterday, briefly, and I heard from a lot of people, of course, a lot of people on the left, who were, even they can't deny that it's a lie.

00:32:00.340 But instead, they just get mad at you for talking about it.

00:32:03.540 But even though there are many other people not on the left who said, well, I hadn't heard this before.

00:32:06.620 I didn't realize.

00:32:08.420 It's the first I'm hearing it.

00:32:09.180 I always thought Matthew Shepard.

00:32:10.100 So, and I don't blame them.

00:32:12.980 It's just, this just shows how the left's control of information, while it has been compromised in recent years because of, you know, the internet and social media and all that, it's, it's, they still largely control the spread of information.

00:32:29.220 And therefore, largely have the ability to decide, to determine our own history and how we view our own history and events in history, including events that were not all that long ago.

00:32:43.780 So, the narrative, in case you didn't know this, if you heard about Matthew Shepard, and everyone heard about Matthew Shepard.

00:32:51.300 And, you know, in my generation, I graduated high school in 2004, and Matthew Shepard murder was in, in, what was it, in 1998.

00:33:04.700 So, you know, I'm right in the generation where they really, they hit us hard.

00:33:09.180 They hit us very hard with the Matthew Shepard thing.

00:33:12.000 And I was told, well, I remember hearing about this in school.

00:33:15.560 And they would tell us about what a terrible hate crime it was.

00:33:18.160 And, of course, when I was a kid in school, I, I believed it.

00:33:21.300 I didn't, you know, I didn't question it.

00:33:25.300 But we know now that all that is untrue.

00:33:27.360 Now, the only thing that's true is that he was murdered.

00:33:29.260 Yes.

00:33:29.540 So, he's, he was a person who was murdered.

00:33:31.080 He's one of the thousands of murder victims that, that we've had in this country over the last 25 years.

00:33:37.340 But what we know now, and what we've known for a long time, and this, again, is not in dispute, is that he was not killed for being gay.

00:33:46.500 This was a drug-related dispute.

00:33:50.140 Matthew Shepard was a drug dealer.

00:33:52.220 He was a meth dealer.

00:33:53.700 Well, just dealing any drug.

00:33:54.740 He was dealing meth, okay?

00:33:55.820 He was dealing straight poison.

00:33:58.840 And his murderers were also drug dealers. 1.00

00:34:02.460 And they were gay, too. 1.00

00:34:04.940 So, Matthew Shepard was a gay drug addict and drug dealer. 0.99

00:34:08.360 And he had, even had, had previous sexual encounters with at least one of his killers. 0.99

00:34:15.520 So, he was killed by a former gay lover because he was a drug dealer. 0.98

00:34:24.360 Not because he's gay. 0.98

00:34:26.000 That's the fact.

00:34:28.740 Okay?

00:34:28.880 It's, it's, it's, it is, despite what the left says, it is not dangerous to be gay in this country. 0.50

00:34:38.260 At least you're not going to be, you're not going to be killed for it.

00:34:41.820 There are other dangers, health dangers and so on.

00:34:46.880 But there's, you're not going to be hunted down and killed for it.

00:34:51.320 Now, if you're a meth dealer, on the other hand, that is a very dangerous occupation.

00:34:55.940 Now, now you are in a world with people who, by definition, don't care about the law, are, are very often very violent people.

00:35:08.300 And this is the world you're in now.

00:35:10.900 And so, Matthew Shepard is one of the many meth dealers and drug dealers who have been killed.

00:35:15.380 I mean, that's, now, is it, as I said when I talked about this on Twitter,

00:35:18.580 Again, it's, it's revealing that when you bring this, the left, they won't even, most of them won't deny what I'm saying.

00:35:28.240 Not directly.

00:35:29.060 Because they know they can't.

00:35:30.060 It's just, they know they can't.

00:35:34.280 Instead, they'll, you know, they'll just label you a homophobe.

00:35:37.880 Well, how dare you bring this up in the first place?

00:35:39.780 Or they'll try some, they'll, they'll try to, well, that doesn't mean the death isn't sad and shouldn't be remembered.

00:35:47.620 You know, every, every murder is sad in its own way, I suppose.

00:35:53.660 But first of all, I got to be honest with you, I don't spend a lot of time mourning the deaths of meth dealers.

00:36:04.180 I kind of feel like you get into that line of work then, and it, and ultimately it claims your life.

00:36:12.080 Well, that's on you.

00:36:14.800 It's a terrible thing.

00:36:15.780 The whole thing is sad.

00:36:16.300 Of course it's sad.

00:36:17.340 It's sad that somebody would get into dealing meth in the first place.

00:36:19.720 The whole thing is sad.

00:36:20.380 I wish that nobody would.

00:36:21.660 I wish that Matthew Shepard had lived a more productive life, and he was still alive to this day, but, but he's not.

00:36:29.360 But the point is, you know, the people that, that say, well, we should still mourn his death.

00:36:33.460 Really?

00:36:33.920 Are there any other drug dealers that died 25 years ago that you're mourning?

00:36:38.340 No, none at all.

00:36:39.780 And there are drug dealers that died yesterday.

00:36:41.500 Are you mourning any of them?

00:36:43.540 Any of them?

00:36:46.020 The only reason we know Matthew Shepard's name, only reason,

00:36:49.600 is because of the story that was made up about him.

00:36:53.880 If not for that story, nobody would remember his name.

00:36:59.000 If this story was never invented, and I came to you out of nowhere and said, hey, you know, 25 years ago,

00:37:06.780 this meth dealer was killed in a pretty brutal fashion by some of his meth-dealing buddies.

00:37:12.720 Isn't that a terrible tragedy?

00:37:14.180 You'd look at me with, like, a blank expression.

00:37:16.460 You'd say, well, I mean, it's always sad when someone's killed, but I, what do you,

00:37:21.280 why are we talking about this now?

00:37:22.980 People die every day.

00:37:24.020 Like, why is that a special tragedy?

00:37:26.120 The only, again, the only reason anyone knows his name is because of the story that was made up,

00:37:32.440 which is why it is, any time his name is brought up, it is always relevant to point out, oh,

00:37:37.520 you know, the only reason you're talking about him, you know, the only reason, it's a, it is a lie.

00:37:42.280 And yet, in spite of these facts, the media still pushes Shepard as a martyr.

00:37:50.820 Now, it's true, if you, if you, uh, refute it and say, well, here's what actually happened,

00:37:55.600 they're not, most of them will not try to argue with you because they know they can't,

00:37:59.400 but they'll still push it anyway.

00:38:02.720 They know it's not true.

00:38:04.780 Anyone who's researched this case knows it's not true.

00:38:07.140 And they push it.

00:38:08.920 And I think that, that shows us two things.

00:38:10.460 Number one, that the left, and neither of these are, uh, revelations really,

00:38:16.840 but the left remains committed to their false narratives to the end.

00:38:23.080 They will, they never let go of their false narratives.

00:38:26.000 They will, they will stay committed to them forever.

00:38:30.560 Never let it go.

00:38:33.340 Um, this is the kind of consistency that they have. 0.97

00:38:37.140 They have, it's, it's, it's a bad consistency because they are consistently liars and they 0.88

00:38:45.020 stick to a lie, but they are relentless.

00:38:50.340 And that is one of the reasons why the left has been successful, uh, in the culture war,

00:38:56.200 why not just successful, but it's why they, they have, it's why they own the culture.

00:39:00.120 The culture, even to this point is still theirs. 0.75

00:39:02.220 And we as conservatives are kind of, uh, you know, we are the, uh, sort of guerrilla fighters

00:39:10.360 in this culture war because we don't, we don't have power over any of the institutions.

00:39:15.420 They have all the institutional power.

00:39:17.360 And this is one of the ways that they achieved it by establishing their narrative, establishing

00:39:23.960 their story and sticking to it always, no matter what, at any cost.

00:39:32.500 So that's one thing we learned for the other thing is that, um, leftism, as I've said many

00:39:38.480 times is essentially a religion and it's a religion of self worship, which is another

00:39:45.340 way of saying that it's Satanism, you know, it's kind of a secular Satanism, um, and, uh,

00:39:55.580 a cult, maybe we would be a better word for it.

00:39:59.020 And any cult has its foundational myths and the leftism is the same way.

00:40:04.140 It has its foundational myths.

00:40:07.320 Um, and the problem with a foundational myth is that you can never really admit that it's

00:40:13.940 a myth because it lays at the foundation of everything else that you're saying and doing.

00:40:18.660 And if you admit that it's a myth and it destabilizes the whole structure.

00:40:25.420 And on the left, all of their foundational myths are based in victimhood.

00:40:31.280 Okay.

00:40:31.720 Like they don't have any heroes.

00:40:33.840 They don't have anyone that they admire really for being triumphant and victorious.

00:40:38.980 All of their myths are about victimhood.

00:40:44.200 All of their heroes are victims.

00:40:47.940 And, and very often these are the martyrs that they invent are people.

00:40:52.340 It's not even like these are people who died fighting for a cause.

00:40:56.020 It's not like these are people who lived impressive lives, uh, and then were martyred.

00:41:00.960 No, it's, these are people who did nothing constructive with their lives.

00:41:06.580 In fact, we're, we're, we're in many cases were burdens on society, drug dealers, drug addicts,

00:41:13.000 and then were killed.

00:41:15.180 And it's the manner of their death that the left finds useful.

00:41:20.820 Um, or rather I should say it's what the left can say.

00:41:24.420 It's the lie that the left can make up about the manner of the death that they find useful.

00:41:27.940 I mean, think about it, the, the, for the race hustlers on the left, you have the race hustlers

00:41:36.480 and the gender hustlers, uh, and on the race hustlers there right now, they're, they're number 1.00

00:41:43.980 one saint, the highest, you know, in the hierarchy in the saintly hierarchy is George Floyd.

00:41:51.120 And then for the gender hustlers and, you know, the, the, the, the gender and sexuality wing

00:41:57.320 of leftism, um, they have Matthew Shepard. 0.96

00:42:01.860 And in one case you have a violent criminal drug addict. 0.96

00:42:04.220 In the other case you have a meth dealer junkie.

00:42:07.180 And these are their two most blessed, most revered saints.

00:42:10.840 And in both cases, they will look you in the face and just simply lie to you about how those

00:42:19.940 people died and why.

00:42:21.760 And if you dare correct them, they'll, um, recoil in horror because we are supposed to,

00:42:30.140 even if, what they tell you is that even if you realize that what they're saying is a lie,

00:42:34.740 you should still have a hushed reverence.

00:42:36.640 You should have a hushed reverence because these people were killed after all.

00:42:41.240 So, so how dare you?

00:42:42.100 So they've, they're, they're dead.

00:42:43.700 And so that gives us the right to say whatever we want about them.

00:42:46.720 So if you, if you, uh, dispute their narrative, it is somehow, uh, you're, you're disrespecting

00:42:52.740 the memories of these great people.

00:42:55.880 Now, I don't know about you, but I think, uh, when somebody dies, I mean, the first and

00:43:01.580 most basic way that we can respect them, whoever they are is by being honest about who they

00:43:07.560 were.

00:43:09.760 You know, when you turn them into some sort of mascot, um, among many other things, uh, I

00:43:18.180 would say that that is, that's how you are degrading them and, uh, and their memory such

00:43:22.560 as it is.

00:43:24.880 Let's get to, was Walsh wrong?

00:43:26.560 Steve Evenly Naked, this is his username, says, I don't care how boring your life is

00:43:36.780 or how bad a writer you are.

00:43:38.300 Everybody should write that memoir, uh, their memoir.

00:43:41.060 It might just be the only part of yourself that outlives you.

00:43:43.820 Geez, imagine if boring Roman farmers had all written bad memoirs. 1.00

00:43:48.820 Yeah, you make an interesting point.

00:43:50.760 Um, I was giving, I don't even remember her name now.

00:43:52.680 What was it, Kerry Washington, uh, uh, that's a mediocre actress, giving her a hard time 1.00

00:43:57.800 for writing, uh, her memoir and pointing out how so often now memoirs are written by the

00:44:05.640 most boring, least interesting people who also happen to often be very bad writers.

00:44:11.600 And you're, you make an interesting counterpoint, but I would just say that, you know, you say

00:44:16.140 that this is why we should write memoirs.

00:44:17.720 But I, I say this, in fact, this is why, whether you write a memoir or not, one of the reasons

00:44:23.680 why you're supposed to have a family and children, okay, your children, your descendants

00:44:28.520 are your living memoir.

00:44:32.740 Um, they, they are the part of yourself that outlives you.

00:44:36.720 You know, the desire to have something that outlives you is, that's a natural desire.

00:44:41.360 It's a good desire.

00:44:43.300 But, um, that's why you have children.

00:44:44.980 And, but, and then also your family, they are the ones who will tell your story.

00:44:51.380 It's like, there's the kind of, uh, oral tradition about you that gets passed down.

00:44:58.040 Just like you may hear stories that are told about your grandparents, if they're now gone

00:45:03.120 or your great grandparents, you know?

00:45:06.020 Um, now of course the, the issue with that is that, uh, if you don't live a good life,

00:45:11.460 if you're a bad person, and if you're bad to your family, neglectful of your family,

00:45:15.820 then the stories they tell about you are not going to be probably flattering ones.

00:45:20.660 But, um, another, another incentive to live a good life and be a decent person.

00:45:25.900 Observer Tim says, sleight of hand, black people aren't saying that their lives are worse than

00:45:29.820 they might have been if slavery didn't exist.

00:45:31.880 They're saying that they are eight times worse off than the average white person today

00:45:35.680 because slavery did exist, which also explains their other sufferings.

00:45:40.260 Well, okay, but you stepped aside the point completely.

00:45:42.560 I mean, um, you step, you sidestepped the point rather completely.

00:45:45.520 In order to blame the financial disparity on slavery, you would have to know what the

00:45:49.780 financial disparity would look like if slavery never occurred.

00:45:55.080 And, and that's how you would know how much of that disparity you can blame on slavery,

00:45:58.960 if any at all.

00:46:00.240 And this is why I'm always returning to this point because it's sort of inescapable.

00:46:03.080 I mean, you can't really get around it.

00:46:05.440 Blaming your misfortunes on some historical event from long ago is not only a waste of energy,

00:46:10.920 not only an exercise in futile self-pity, but also it's incoherent because it, it assumes

00:46:16.820 that you would be more fortunate today if those things had never happened.

00:46:20.500 But for reasons I've explained in great detail in the past, that assumption is probably not

00:46:25.240 justified and certainly cannot ever be proven.

00:46:28.140 Um, also, as I said, the disparity between black Americans and white Americans, uh, essentially

00:46:37.320 disappears, uh, if you are, you know, if you simply wait to have kids until you're married

00:46:46.240 and then you stay married once you have them.

00:46:48.520 So you can blame slavery all you want.

00:46:51.800 What I'm saying is that if even, you know, 70% of black Americans were to, uh, wait till 0.96

00:47:01.900 they're married to have kids and then stay married when they have them, uh, that, that 1.00

00:47:06.040 disparity you're talking about would begin to disappear very, very quickly.

00:47:09.800 And it can disappear for you on an individual basis.

00:47:14.180 If you simply make that decision and anyone can do that, you know, whether or not your

00:47:18.260 ancestors were enslaved, there's no reason why the enslavement of your ancestors 150 years 0.87

00:47:22.680 ago would, would compel you by forces outside of your control somehow to have babies out of

00:47:29.840 wedlock, right?

00:47:31.400 That's, there's no reason for that.

00:47:32.700 Finally, uh, you asserted that there was no justification for abortion, but that is factually

00:47:39.600 incorrect.

00:47:39.980 If a woman's life is in danger while pregnant, in which case abortion is more than justifiable. 0.99

00:47:44.700 Well, I would say, first of all, directly killing a child, even to save the parent's life

00:47:48.460 is not justified.

00:47:52.020 Um, you know, prioritizing the life of a, even if we're not directly killing a child, in most

00:47:58.280 cases, we all kind of intuitively recognize that you don't prioritize the life of an adult

00:48:04.660 over a child.

00:48:05.840 I mean, it's like even now this, again, this is not directly killing, but, uh, if there's

00:48:12.040 a, you know, a house is on fire and you run into the house and you see a little baby there

00:48:18.560 lying there and there's an adult and you can only rescue one, let's say.

00:48:22.360 Um, I think most people would rescue the baby and that's not because the adult's life has

00:48:29.000 no meaning or no value, um, but rather because we recognize that our first obligation is to

00:48:36.600 protect and preserve the lives of, of children, especially those who have no capacity to protect

00:48:42.240 themselves.

00:48:43.900 And not only that, but we would expect the adult to tell you to take the child.

00:48:50.640 I mean, uh, imagine a baby is lying there in a burning house and the mother is also lying

00:48:59.000 there and her legs are broken or something and she can't leave and you run in and the

00:49:05.700 mother shouts to you and says, take me first, take me, get me, get me out of here. 0.97

00:49:10.440 Now in a burning house, she wants to get out.

00:49:14.780 Most of us have never been in a situation like that.

00:49:16.780 Um, and we recognize that, but, but even then we would, we would harshly, harshly judge

00:49:25.320 that mother, wouldn't we?

00:49:27.380 Harshly judge her.

00:49:30.160 Because we, we realize that, you know, if you really love your child, what you should

00:49:35.560 be shouting is no, save my child, leave, leave me, come back for me if you have time, but

00:49:39.480 get my child out of here first. 1.00

00:49:40.660 And there are many cases like that.

00:49:44.720 I mean, there was a case a few years ago, um, and many cases where, where the, the parent

00:49:49.340 does the right thing, does what any parent would do.

00:49:52.540 There was a case a few years ago of a mother who, uh, in a burning house and, you know, her

00:49:56.980 last act, uh, before, uh, she succumbed to the flames was to throw her, her child over 0.52

00:50:04.580 a window to, to, uh, people that were waiting on the ground to catch the child.

00:50:07.880 So her last act was to save her child and she chose to save her child.

00:50:11.960 She could have jumped out the window herself first and she didn't.

00:50:14.460 She chose to die.

00:50:15.480 So, and we all kind of recognize that.

00:50:18.780 Um, but then when it comes to, to children in the womb, suddenly it gets flipped on its

00:50:23.460 head.

00:50:24.540 But I don't think that's, I don't think that it should be.

00:50:27.600 I think the same moral principle applies.

00:50:29.820 But anyway, that's all even, that's an interesting discussion.

00:50:32.800 It's irrelevant because there's actually never a time when you actually need to directly

00:50:38.080 kill the child to save the mother. 0.89

00:50:40.940 Um, you may need to end the pregnancy early in rare circumstances in order to save the 0.99

00:50:47.220 mother's life, which means delivering the child. 0.86

00:50:50.380 And these are, you know, those, those, uh, late term abortions. 0.99

00:50:54.040 Yeah.

00:50:54.440 What we hear from the left that when it comes to late term abortions, they say, well, late

00:50:58.180 term abortions rarely happen. 0.97

00:50:59.420 And there are small percentage of cases and then they give you the percent and whatever

00:51:02.540 they say, the percentage, it still leaves like thousands of abortions, like thousands

00:51:06.120 of cases every year, even according to them that are late term.

00:51:09.080 But then what I'll tell you is that, well, all of those cases are to, are it's to save

00:51:13.520 the life of the mother.

00:51:15.720 And they expect you not to notice that, well, wait a second, if there's something happening

00:51:20.500 and this can happen in a pregnancy, especially later in a pregnancy, some sort of catastrophic

00:51:25.060 thing has occurred.

00:51:27.380 And if the woman remains pregnant, she will die. 1.00

00:51:31.820 Well, in that case, you, you can deliver the child. 0.64

00:51:37.120 And even if the, even if it's 22 weeks into pregnancy, there's a very, with the miracle

00:51:41.740 of modern medicines, a very good chance that child will still survive.

00:51:44.140 Um, abortion. 1.00

00:51:47.100 So yes, you can end the pregnancy by delivering the child. 0.66

00:51:49.980 Abortion, it adds an extra step where we are killing the child before delivering the 1.00

00:51:56.100 child.

00:51:56.380 And that is certainly not necessary, um, for saving the mother's life.

00:52:05.120 It is a, a grotesque, gratuitous, just explicit act of the direct murder of a child, which again

00:52:13.860 is always wrong in every circumstance.

00:52:16.720 Is there anything scarier than gender ideology infecting bedrock American brands and turning 0.96

00:52:20.720 them into some insane woke zombie? 0.63

00:52:22.480 Well, maybe a night in Vegas with Hunter Biden would be scarier, uh, get it.

00:52:27.280 But the truth is these companies hate your values.

00:52:29.260 So stop giving them your money.

00:52:31.040 Back in March, we launched Jeremy's chocolate and instantly sold hundreds of thousands of

00:52:34.780 chocolate bars.

00:52:35.460 Now, just the time for Halloween.

00:52:36.800 We are now introducing our new bite-sized microaggression bars still in the same binary

00:52:41.680 nut or nutless bars, just as God intended.

00:52:44.080 You can order both or each separately.

00:52:46.180 Uh, we gave the she, her bars their own space. 1.00

00:52:48.980 The truth is always sweeter.

00:52:50.040 When shared, go to jeremyschocolate.com.

00:52:52.560 And order yours today.

00:52:54.080 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:53:01.780 It is Columbus Day.

00:53:03.520 Long time listeners of this show will know that it is a tradition on Columbus Day for

00:53:07.860 me to carve out a section of the show to talk about the holiday and why it deserves to be

00:53:11.580 celebrated, despite what the leftist crybabies and historical revisionists might say.

00:53:16.100 And I will continue with this tradition for as long as the holiday and the man it commemorates

00:53:20.000 remain under attack, which means that I will continue it indefinitely.

00:53:23.440 Now, if you hear Columbus acknowledged at all today in the media or by any political or

00:53:29.100 cultural figure of note, it would almost certainly be a condemnation.

00:53:33.000 You know, they will tell us that, uh, the same thing they've been telling us for many years,

00:53:36.660 that Columbus was a genocidal maniac whose arrival led to the alleged genocide of so-called

00:53:41.560 Native Americans or quote unquote indigenous people.

00:53:44.780 In the same breath, without a hint of irony, they will also decry what they describe as

00:53:49.100 overly simplistic portrayals of Columbus and his voyages.

00:53:52.160 Hoping you don't notice how no portrayal of Columbus is as absurdly and cartoonishly

00:53:57.320 simplistic as the one you get from these very same people.

00:54:01.600 Now, as mentioned, I have made the case many times why, uh, for why Columbus deserves to be

00:54:05.820 celebrated, deserved to have his federal holiday, his statues, his cities named after him.

00:54:10.480 And the case is pretty straightforward.

00:54:12.480 Christopher Columbus was a very great man and one of the most consequential figures to

00:54:17.800 ever live on planet earth.

00:54:20.800 He quite easily had more of an impact than every single one of his modern critics combined

00:54:26.120 times a thousand.

00:54:28.440 These are the people that we give holidays to or used to, the people who shape the world

00:54:33.220 and say whatever else you want about Columbus, he did more than almost any other single person

00:54:39.160 in history to shape the world we live in today. 0.99

00:54:43.180 Now, it's often said by idiots who claim to be intellectually nuanced that if Columbus did 0.99

00:54:49.320 achieve this world-shaping feat, he did it accidentally. 0.98

00:54:53.480 Now, even if that's true, it wouldn't change his significance or the significance of what he

00:54:57.980 accomplished, but it's not true.

00:55:00.900 He may have been looking for the East Indies.

00:55:02.720 In other words, he was looking for land he knew existed rather than looking for land he

00:55:07.520 didn't know existed, so could not have been looking for by definition.

00:55:10.560 But there was nothing accidental about his voyage.

00:55:14.500 You know, he didn't trip and fall and drift across the Atlantic.

00:55:18.040 Rather, he led a small fleet of ships over an unknown ocean without the use of any modern

00:55:22.840 navigational equipment, without even a map to guide the way.

00:55:26.580 And you would think that this would be a rather impressive thing to modern people who can't

00:55:32.240 manage to drive to the Starbucks three blocks away without the assistance of satellite navigation.

00:55:38.160 But that would require modern people to have humility and perspective, both of which are

00:55:41.820 in short supply.

00:55:42.560 Now, over the course of his four voyages, Columbus discovered many Caribbean islands and explored

00:55:47.900 the coasts of Central and South America.

00:55:49.540 The full scope of what he had discovered would not be fully understood until after he died.

00:55:54.420 But the fact remains that Columbus brought Western civilization across a vast and uncharted

00:55:59.920 and dangerous sea and into a previously unexplored and unknown hemisphere of the globe.

00:56:05.900 He forever changed the world, and he changed it in a way and to a degree matched by very

00:56:11.120 few other people who have ever lived on the planet.

00:56:13.200 And aside from Jesus Christ, exceeded by perhaps no one.

00:56:18.320 He did this through his courage and his daring and his brilliance and his vision, all things

00:56:24.200 worth admiring, and all virtues that Columbus possessed in far greater quantity than any of his

00:56:30.180 smarmy, petty, non-contributing critics.

00:56:32.780 Was Columbus a deeply flawed man?

00:56:36.720 Could he be brutal and unjust?

00:56:38.900 Yes.

00:56:39.960 Welcome to almost any great man who has ever lived.

00:56:44.380 Sure, Columbus captured slaves.

00:56:46.800 He executed both Spaniards and Indians under his rule.

00:56:49.740 He took gold.

00:56:51.060 He was, by all accounts, a pretty bad governor.

00:56:53.220 This was a common flaw of explorers of that era.

00:56:55.420 Many of them were brilliant on their ships, but incompetent or downright horrible on solid

00:56:59.200 ground.

00:57:00.200 Magellan, for example, made it three quarters of the way around the world.

00:57:02.780 Before getting himself killed in a needless conflict with the tribe in the Philippines.

00:57:07.440 You know, there was a certain type of man who was needed to navigate a fleet of ships across

00:57:11.700 uncharted waters.

00:57:13.420 And there was a different kind of man, oftentimes, who was needed to manage settlements.

00:57:17.280 Unfortunately, the latter type had no way of getting to the settlement except by hitching 0.71

00:57:21.180 a ride with the former.

00:57:22.460 And the former wasn't often willing to cede control of the land he had just gone through

00:57:26.500 all that trouble of discovering.

00:57:28.100 A somewhat understandable reluctance, I think.

00:57:29.840 Now, there's nothing wrong with acknowledging the flaws of men like Christopher Columbus.

00:57:34.860 Nobody is suggesting that we should honor them as perfect people or worship them as gods.

00:57:39.480 The point of the statues and the monuments and the holidays, etc., is to remember and celebrate

00:57:43.580 the indispensable role they played in establishing the civilization in which we all live now.

00:57:49.180 A civilization that just so happens to be the freest and most prosperous in the history

00:57:53.840 of the world, Columbus, through his navigational brilliance, boldness, courage, vision, and

00:57:59.020 determination, is one of the men we have to thank for that.

00:58:02.120 And we should thank him for that.

00:58:05.220 Now, some people might claim that Western civilization is nothing to be thankful for at all.

00:58:10.520 But I can't help but notice that those people still choose to live here, enjoying the comforts

00:58:15.140 and freedoms given to them by the very men whose monuments they deface and holidays they

00:58:19.420 cancel.

00:58:20.760 They claim this is stolen land, yet they remain on it, basking in its luxuries.

00:58:29.040 The fact is that they would much prefer to live in the colonized version of this land

00:58:33.680 than the alternative.

00:58:35.800 Most Indian tribes were about 5,000 to 6,000 years behind the more advanced civilizations on 0.98

00:58:42.340 the other side of the ocean.

00:58:43.080 So when those people, beginning with Columbus, came to the new world, they were going back 0.99

00:58:51.780 in time by about 5,000 to 6,000 years.

00:58:58.400 If those people on this side of the world were left to their own devices, by now they probably

00:59:04.680 still wouldn't have even invented the wheel.

00:59:07.340 That's how far behind they were.

00:59:09.420 And that is not a world that any supposed opponent of colonization would want to live in, no matter

00:59:14.700 what they say.

00:59:16.580 Which brings us to the day that has come to replace Columbus Day.

00:59:19.920 And now you'll hear most people in the mainstream talk about Indigenous Peoples Day.

00:59:23.620 Joe Biden recognized Indigenous Peoples Day in a presidential proclamation for the first

00:59:27.820 time two years ago.

00:59:29.560 In many corners of American society, it has entirely supplanted Columbus Day.

00:59:33.760 But Indigenous Peoples Day is a total farce and a disgrace and a joke for several reasons 1.00

00:59:41.180 that I'll explain.

00:59:42.020 First, it's not a real holiday.

00:59:45.060 It is a political statement.

00:59:46.680 It is a protest.

00:59:48.540 It was a thing invented specifically to overshadow Columbus Day.

00:59:53.580 Leftists don't understand why this is a problem because everything they do is reactive in this

00:59:58.120 way.

00:59:58.380 Their whole cultural agenda is designed to supplant, destroy, dismantle the old traditions 1.00

01:00:03.840 and old values.

01:00:04.660 They have no ideas of their own.

01:00:06.460 They have nothing new or interesting to say.

01:00:08.820 They just have a bunch of things they don't like and want to destroy for reasons they can

01:00:12.340 barely articulate.

01:00:14.580 Columbus Day celebrates one of the greatest historical figures to ever live.

01:00:17.440 Indigenous Peoples Day is a political tactic meant to undermine that same historical figure.

01:00:22.400 So if you want a real holiday in order to celebrate Indigenous people, then get your own day.

01:00:29.520 Okay, try for once to come up with one idea that isn't designed to simply be the opposite

01:00:33.420 of someone else's idea. 0.99

01:00:36.160 Think for yourselves for a change, you damned halfwit plagiarists. 0.99

01:00:41.560 Second, the underlying premise of the day is false. 1.00

01:00:45.160 You know, this is supposedly a day to acknowledge the people whose land was stolen by European 1.00

01:00:48.940 settlers, but the whole stolen land thing is preposterous.

01:00:54.600 You know, there were maybe as low as one or two million Indians living on the entire North

01:00:59.480 American continent by the 15th century.

01:01:01.560 At most, there were maybe 15 or 20 million.

01:01:04.300 Okay, a wide range.

01:01:05.980 We don't know exactly how many people were here, but either way, that's not a lot of people.

01:01:10.980 And the point is that the vast, vast majority of the land was unoccupied, North America and

01:01:18.720 Central and South America.

01:01:20.020 These were mostly untamed, unexplored, uninhabited wildernesses.

01:01:26.800 The smattering of tribes spread out across 9 million square miles in North America.

01:01:31.060 They didn't own the whole thing.

01:01:33.760 People these days talk as if the Europeans had no right to come here in the first place,

01:01:37.100 which is an interesting assertion from open borders advocates.

01:01:39.260 But that's obviously absurd on its face.

01:01:42.480 The tide of civilizational expansion and progress was not going to be held back forever.

01:01:47.380 And the idea that a ragtag collection of warring Stone Age tribes

01:01:51.640 somehow laid eternal claim to this entire hemisphere is just insane.

01:01:58.100 It is crazy.

01:02:01.240 The land was destined to be conquered by more civilized and advanced people, 0.99

01:02:05.420 and it was, and thank God it was.

01:02:09.260 Third, the whole concept of indigenous people is arbitrary, if not totally nonsensical.

01:02:15.980 Okay?

01:02:16.680 Like, I think we should stop calling.

01:02:19.960 We should stop using indigenous and native to describe the group of people that it usually

01:02:25.360 describes.

01:02:25.840 What makes a person indigenous exactly?

01:02:30.300 How long does their lineage have to be present here?

01:02:33.720 Like, if I can trace my family back 100 years, is that not good enough?

01:02:38.600 200 years?

01:02:39.420 300 years?

01:02:41.420 The absurd reality is that if you are a white person living in the United States of America,

01:02:46.200 America, and your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower 400 years ago,

01:02:51.420 you still somehow do not count as either native or indigenous.

01:02:56.920 This is not your native land, even after four centuries.

01:03:02.160 Okay?

01:03:02.300 Your family could have been here for 400 years building this society.

01:03:08.140 And somehow, even after all that time, this is not your native land, you're told.

01:03:14.080 So where is your native land exactly?

01:03:18.040 If you are not indigenous to this place, the place where you were born, and your parents

01:03:22.220 were born, and your grandparents were born, and your grandparents' grandparents' grandparents

01:03:25.900 were born, then where are you indigenous?

01:03:29.000 You know the answer from these people?

01:03:32.060 The answer is nowhere.

01:03:33.500 The cultural powers that be, they want you to consider yourself ancestrally homeless.

01:03:39.580 You belong nowhere. 0.82

01:03:41.800 You are a usurper and an invader no matter where you go. 0.98

01:03:45.340 You have no native home no matter how long your family has lived here.

01:03:50.820 Now, nobody applies this standard to the so-called indigenous people.

01:03:55.940 I always hear that they were the people who originated here.

01:03:59.000 What do you mean originated here?

01:04:00.200 What do you think?

01:04:00.640 You think they climbed out of the ground?

01:04:02.680 You think they grew on trees? 1.00

01:04:04.380 What do you mean originated here, you idiots? 1.00

01:04:08.380 All of the so-called indigenous people, they all descend from people who came here at some 1.00

01:04:13.820 point in the past and fought over the land and killed each other brutally for centuries

01:04:21.140 to claim whatever slice of it they possessed before the white settlers arrived.

01:04:26.100 And then those settlers did the same thing that the so-called indigenous people did. 0.91

01:04:32.980 They fought for the land.

01:04:34.920 And they won.

01:04:37.380 They built a life for themselves through work and toil and hardship and blood.

01:04:43.020 They won.

01:04:44.600 Get over it.

01:04:46.080 They won.

01:04:46.640 And this is our land now.

01:04:51.060 Yeah, we're supposed to live in a state of perpetual shame over this history?

01:04:56.480 Hell no.

01:04:59.080 I don't play that game.

01:05:00.600 This is my home.

01:05:01.360 I am native to this country.

01:05:04.700 I originate here.

01:05:07.000 It's where I was born.

01:05:08.220 It's where my children were born.

01:05:09.240 I belong here.

01:05:11.640 I am proud of our history.

01:05:13.780 I am proud of the men who built our civilization.

01:05:17.120 I celebrate those men.

01:05:19.700 I will continue to celebrate them.

01:05:22.740 Were they colonizers?

01:05:24.020 Sure they were.

01:05:26.680 And I celebrate that too.

01:05:28.420 Okay?

01:05:28.820 I celebrate the fact that they colonized this land.

01:05:32.020 I am glad they did it.

01:05:35.320 Because what they did is they forged into an unknown wilderness

01:05:38.180 and they built a life for themselves,

01:05:40.760 expanding Western civilization in the process.

01:05:42.900 It was a virtuous act.

01:05:45.640 And through it, they earned the right to call this place home.

01:05:48.880 And for all of their descendants through the ages to do the same.

01:05:53.940 That is why they get the holidays.

01:05:56.600 They earned them.

01:05:58.840 And it's also why, ultimately today,

01:06:01.860 Indigenous People's Day, 0.97

01:06:03.940 that ridiculous, fake disgrace of a holiday, 0.98

01:06:07.540 is canceled. 0.96

01:06:10.500 And that'll do it for the show today.

01:06:11.700 Thanks for watching.

01:06:12.220 Thanks for listening.

01:06:13.680 Have fun with that one, Media Matters.

01:06:15.580 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:06:16.680 Godspeed.

01:06:18.880 Godspeed.
