Violent gangs have taken control of the country of Haiti. This is a very bad time for our borders to be wide open. We ll discuss also, in one of the most insane moves we ve seen from an insane president, President Biden apologized over the weekend for calling Lakin Reilly s killer illegal. Plus, Robert De Niro offers a terrifying dystopian vision of the future if Donald Trump is reelected. And thousands of kids called their congressional representatives last week, panicked over a bill that would supposedly ban TikTok. Which only goes to show why we should ban Tik Tok.
00:02:13.740I could go on listing depressing statistics, but that's probably not necessary.
00:02:18.080And yet, somehow recently, life in Haiti has gotten even worse.
00:02:22.180The situation has sunk below Haiti's already extremely low baseline.
00:02:26.820If you lived in the country, you would right now be pining for the old days when you were merely miserable, starving, and destitute.
00:02:34.480Because that was far better than what's happening now.
00:02:36.940What's happening now is that the Haitian government, to the extent that it ever existed, has collapsed.
00:02:41.880Violent gangs have taken over the country, are prowling the streets, executing people at random.
00:02:46.980The Washington Post describes the scene, quote,
00:02:49.220On a ride through the gang-controlled streets of Haiti's capital on Friday, past an improvised barricade, the motorcycle taxi reached a crossroad.
00:02:58.560First came the smell of something burning.
00:03:00.980Then the sight, a corpse, charred black, lying in the middle of the street, its bones and feet sticking out of a pile of ash.
00:03:06.900The night before, Jimmy Barsicot, a carpenter who lives nearby, heard two gunshots.
00:03:12.000Peering carefully out his window, checking his watch, it was 8.24 p.m., he saw two men drive away, leaving the body behind, not far from a university administration's office and one of Haiti's largest telecommunications companies.
00:03:23.740A few hours later, he said, the men returned and burned the remains.
00:03:26.200The streets of Port-au-Prince reek with the stench of the dead.
00:03:29.700It's a grisly new marker of the violence and dysfunction in this beleaguered Caribbean nation of 11 million people.
00:03:34.860In the absence of a functioning state, violent armed gangs have taken control of more than 80% of the capital, according to the United Nations.
00:03:43.100Residents who dare leave their homes stumble across bodies that have been left where they fell.
00:03:47.880Port-au-Prince reached a high of 92 degrees on Friday.
00:03:50.480The smell of decaying corpses, human rights activists say, has driven some people from their homes.
00:03:56.940So it's a terrible picture, and it will only get worse.
00:03:59.940And it only gets worse the more you look.
00:04:02.260Consider the guy who has now seized control of the country, a notorious gang leader who goes by the moniker Barbecue,
00:04:09.020and who has launched a war against the remnants of the Haitian government while attacking prisons and freeing thousands of violent criminals in order to then recruit them into his gang.
00:04:17.720And if you're assuming that, you know, there must be some horrific reason why the Haitian warlord has been nicknamed Barbecue, you're right.
00:04:50.380Now, the United Nations Security Council also weighing in, their eyes set on Jimmy Chetessier, also known as Barbecue,
00:04:58.320over the role his G9 gang has played in a blockade of Haiti's principal fuel terminal.
00:05:03.440A move that has dried up fuel supplies as the country already suffers from a water shortage due to a cholera outbreak that's putting 1.2 million children at risk.
00:05:15.120Schools are closed, hospitals are closed, and farmers are having trouble bringing their goods to the market.
00:05:19.740The United States stepping up and targeting those in support of gangs, leading to visa sanctions on 11 people so far.
00:05:27.220And China saying it supports the UN's plan to sanction gang leaders.
00:05:32.940A move that could perhaps be a step toward more peaceful days.
00:05:39.220Well, that didn't work out, shockingly.
00:05:41.620These sternly worded letters to the third world gang leader named Barbecue somehow didn't have any noticeable effect.
00:05:48.080Barbecue did not listen to the UN's press conferences or read their letters and say,
00:05:52.420gee, you know what, these folks are right, I should stop brutalizing innocent people.
00:05:55.660I hadn't really thought of it like that.
00:05:57.900That was not his response, which no doubt came as a shock to the UN.
00:06:02.160And now things have gotten so bad that according to reports circulating all over social media,
00:06:06.360the violent gangs terrorizing Haiti have even resorted to cannibalism.
00:13:45.240The word great in this context may have some ambiguity to it.
00:13:51.420People can define great in different ways, but at the most basic level, a great country is one where its people are generally able to thrive and prosper.
00:14:01.500Great can mean more than that, but it must mean at least that.
00:14:05.560It is incoherent to describe a country where almost nobody prospers as great.
00:14:11.320It is much more coherent to describe such a country as a crap hole.
00:14:15.940Indeed, you can usually detect the crap hole countries and distinguish them from the great countries.
00:14:21.420Because people from the crap hole countries are always trying to get into the great countries.
00:14:38.300The flood has always gone the other way.
00:14:41.440And of course, that brings us back to the most important point in all of this.
00:14:45.320The end result, the self-fulfilling prophecy, we might say, which is that America becomes less great the more it allows unchecked immigration from the very not great countries.
00:14:59.900We are not a crap hole like Haiti, but import enough of Haiti into this country, and we might eventually get there.
00:15:08.380Then we will be the utopia that Stephen Colbert and Conan O'Brien dream of.
00:15:16.000Then maybe they'll wear America's great already hats and walk proudly down the street in that attire before they are descended upon by the cannibal hordes and promptly consumed.
00:15:26.960Because that's what greatness is to them, apparently.
00:16:03.840They wanted to create something that positively empowered kids to think, create, and dream big.

00:16:27.260Well, you may recall that during the State of the Union address on Thursday, President Biden finally said the name of Lakin Riley, the American woman who was killed by an illegal immigrant, except that he didn't actually say her name because he called her Lincoln Riley.
00:16:42.220This is one of those times when Biden's dementia, I think, kind of works in his favor because everybody just assumes that he botched the name because he's a senile brain damaged vegetable.
00:16:55.400But in reality, although he is a senile brain damaged vegetable, he also just doesn't care at all about this or about Lakin Riley or about her family.
00:17:05.380And he can't be bothered to say her name correctly.
00:17:08.460So even if this was 20 years ago and he still had his mental faculties about him, it probably would have had the same result.
00:18:03.720And look, when I spoke about the difference between Trump and me, one of the things I talked about in the border was that his, the way he talks about vermin, the way he talks about these people polluting the blood.
00:18:14.480I talked about what I'm not going to do, what I won't do.
00:18:17.260I'm not going to treat any, any, any of these people with disrespect.
00:18:43.980It's monstrous, psychotic, um, many words to describe it.
00:18:49.540But I'm glad that, that, that Biden is going around saying this kind of stuff out loud, as horrifying as it is, um, because it's good that voters see it and hear it.
00:18:58.940And now it's just up to you as a voter to decide.
00:19:01.920Do you want a president who apologizes for using insulting language about a murderer?
00:19:06.800Not even insulting language, actually, just, just accurate language.
00:19:14.020Illegal immigrant is not even a value judgment.
00:19:16.900It is an accurate description of who they are and their status in this country.
00:19:21.460They're immigrants who came here illegally, hence illegal immigrant.
00:19:25.800But do you want a president who is, at any rate, principally concerned with the feelings of murderous scumbags who break into our country and kill our citizens?
00:19:38.760I mean, with this sort of thing, Biden reveals himself to have priorities that just don't align with the vast majority of the country.
00:19:45.660I mean, I would, I would venture, I guess, like 99% of the country.
00:19:49.300Because only the farthest left, most out of touch psychopaths will hear that an illegal immigrant killed an American woman and immediately think, oh, that's terrible.
00:20:04.300That, that, the number of people who actually think that way.
00:20:07.060Now, the number of people who pretend to think that way is even larger.
00:20:09.460But the number of people who really think that way is, is, is, uh, vanishingly small.
00:20:16.500It's a, it's a thought process shared by only the most extreme, most fringe, most lunatic elements of the far left.
00:20:22.700And the more that Biden advertises his loyalty to those elements, the better, as far as I'm concerned.
00:20:30.360Um, one other point, it should be noted that, you know, the bit where he apologized to Lakin Riley's murderer was, was, was not even the most deranged thing that he said in that 45 second clip.
00:20:38.640But somehow it got significantly worse in the, like, three-sentence span that, that, that, that we heard there.
00:20:44.960Because he also claimed that illegal immigrants, like the guy who killed Lakin Riley, uh, built the country.
00:21:04.360Illegal immigrants, um, are, are not building anything.
00:21:09.940And one way you know that is, like, if you were to round up all the illegal immigrants and ship them out of the country, as we should do, things would not fall apart without them.
00:21:19.000Okay, we wouldn't look around and say, oh, you know, we're, we're, we're stuck.
00:51:58.280His mother saith unto the servants, whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
00:52:02.600Um, and, uh, skipping ahead just a few to get to the important part.
00:52:06.840And he saith unto them, draw now and bear unto the governor of the feast.
00:52:10.080And they bear it, um, and saith unto him, every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine.
00:52:17.460And when men have well drunk than that, which is worse, but thou has kept the good wine until now.
00:52:24.000Okay, so what do we get, what do we get from that?
00:52:27.300He provides the wine and the people at the, at the party, at the wedding say, well, wow.
00:52:33.020You know, usually what happens is, um, is that, uh, you know, you, you, you give the good wine first and then you, and then you, uh, have the bad wine.
00:52:45.820And because by the time, why, why does that usually happen at parties?
00:52:48.480They're saying, well, because, uh, by the time people have had a lot of the wine, they're feeling pretty good.
00:52:53.280And then at that point you can bring out the crappy wine and they're not going to notice because they're already drunk.

00:55:20.220Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:55:29.140It's hard to believe that St. Patrick's Day is almost here.
00:55:31.680Unfortunately, a lot of businesses have been down on their luck.
00:55:34.440Fortunately, if you're a business owner or hiring manager, you don't need luck to find top talent for your business.
00:56:25.160ZipRecruiter, the smartest way to hire.
00:56:27.460Well, it's been a week since the release of damning internal documents and communications from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health, or WPATH.
00:56:35.180This is the organization that sets the standards of care, which are followed by major hospitals and gender clinics in this country.
00:56:41.020The files prove that WPATH understands very well that children cannot provide informed consent to sterilization and butchery, which they call gender-affirming care.
00:56:48.900In fact, at various points, the files make it clear that WPATH doctors themselves don't really understand the ramifications of what they're doing to children.
00:56:55.480The documents demonstrate, for example, that WPATH has long suspected that cross-sex hormones can cause serious and potentially fatal problems for some patients, including liver tumors.
00:57:07.940They openly talked about performing surgery on 14-year-old girls and transitioning patients as young as four years old.
00:57:13.960Their only goal appears to be conducting as many children, rather inducting as many children as possible, into the gender cult, whatever the consequences may be.
00:57:23.380They are deranged activists posing as concerned physicians.
00:57:27.600In the past week, multiple media organizations, including The New York Times, The New York Post, Daily Signal, The Daily Wire, Telegraph, News Nation, have picked up the story.
00:57:37.320Even the far-left Guardian called the WPATH files disturbing.
00:58:15.760Instead, on March 5th, WPATH's president put out a generic statement claiming that the organization is science-based and that the people who disagree are akin to flat-earthers.
00:58:26.440They can't say anything more than that.
00:58:27.620They don't even try to deny that WPATH doctors talked about cross-sex hormones causing cancer or the fact that kids can't consent to genital mutilation.
00:58:37.260And they can't deny that because it's all true.
00:59:24.680But over the past several years, many of these major hospitals have adopted WPATH's so-called standards of care wholesale.
00:59:30.820Whether it's because they're motivated by profits or ideology or both, and I think it is both,
00:59:36.200these hospitals are now completely aligned with the quacks at WPATH, who have now been entirely exposed.
00:59:42.920So the question is, where have these hospitals been for the past, you know, almost week now, as this discussion has been happening?
00:59:50.260Why haven't they had any reaction whatsoever to the fact that WPATH, by its own admission,
00:59:54.680is knowingly harming children without their informed consent?
00:59:57.740I checked. I couldn't find a single example of a single medical institution or hospital responding to the revelations that we've heard over the past week.
01:00:08.980As of today, major hospitals are continuing to offshore all of their standards for gender-affirming care to WPATH.
01:00:14.640That includes places like Mass General, one of the, supposed to be one of the best hospitals in the world,
01:00:19.280which still says that it uses WPATH standards on its website.
01:00:22.000It also includes UCLA, which has proudly posted videos about how important WPATH is to their surgical teams.
01:00:30.880So some of the criteria for doing surgery kind of falls from the World Professional Association for Transgender Health.
01:00:39.660This is an international organization or association for health professionals.
01:00:45.140It was first founded in the United Kingdom under the Harry Benjamin Foundation.
01:00:50.760He was one of the first physicians and endocrinologists that treated patients with gender dysphoria.
01:00:59.740And soon this organization grew internationally into a big association where they committed to ethical as well as safe treatment,
01:01:11.400health care treatment for transgender patients.
01:01:13.820Now, you notice how the UCLA doctor mentions Dr. Harry Benjamin.
01:01:18.700What she doesn't say is that Harry Benjamin wrote a book called The Transsexual Phenomenon,
01:01:23.780in which he concedes that fake vaginas are wounds, that's a quote, that can be, quote, obliterated over time.
01:01:31.460For some reason, that quote didn't make it into this presentation on vaginoplasties.
01:01:36.040But WPATH's so-called guidelines are nevertheless very important at UCLA.
01:01:40.600As you saw on the slide, this surgeon won't see a patient unless these WPATH guidelines are met,
01:01:45.220which includes letters of support from medical professionals advocating for surgery.
01:01:49.700Now, as I demonstrated last year, that is not really a standard at all.
01:01:53.220One of our producers, you may recall, was able to get a letter from a nurse approving him for testicle removal after a 22-minute Zoom call.
01:02:00.060All you got to do is pay some trans clinic 50 bucks, and they'll approve you on the spot, basically.
01:02:05.760And now, a year later, we know beyond any shadow of a doubt that WPATH is aware of their own misconduct.
01:02:10.840They know that their standards are unscientific shams.
01:02:13.840They're just making all this up as they go.
01:02:15.760And the end result is always to push young people towards mutilation and sterilization.
01:02:20.680That's why the WPATH files are full of conversations like this one, quote,
01:02:25.620You bring up some very interesting issues.
01:02:38.000A medical professional explaining that it's challenging to tell a child to wait until they're 16 to begin taking drugs and undergoing procedures that will potentially have lifelong effects.
01:02:46.500Apparently, this WPATH member thinks that if a 14-year-old threatens suicide, then you have to do what they're demanding.
01:02:52.700Even though they have no idea what the consequences may be, and even though WPATH has admitted that they cannot really consent to it.
01:04:10.320Instead of caring about the patients, their incentive is to keep the racket going so that the money keeps coming in.
01:04:15.920They don't think they owe any degree of transparency to their patients at all because they're not really in the business of health care anymore.
01:04:22.740This is a pattern in medicine that extends beyond transgenderism and WPATH.
01:04:25.980As Ben Shapiro reported last week on his show, major hospitals are now openly admitting that they're lowering their standards in the name of DEI.
01:04:34.360It's a senior surgeon at Duke named Vignesh Raman explaining that post-George Floyd, Duke has abandoned all kinds of metrics, quote-unquote, when recruiting surgeons.
01:04:43.560Instead, Duke now has a completely holistic review process that focuses on the life stories of applicants who want to become surgeons.
01:04:52.6202020 and George Floyd and those events happened and sort of collectively galvanized the consciousness of Duke University
01:05:00.800and certainly our department to try to do something and recognizing this, like, centuries-long history of racism and slavery
01:05:09.500in which Duke University essentially was founded, on which it was founded.
01:05:15.540And that's when we sort of had to confront the history of institution, the history of our department,
01:05:21.640the walls of white men that are draped across our hallways.
01:05:27.300And that's when we started to think that maybe something should change.
01:05:32.280Something should change within ourselves in who comprises this department in terms of the faculty, in terms of the residents.
01:05:40.020Significant inequity in representation in our program.
01:05:43.480And it's something that we've been consciously, deliberately working hard to change over the last several years.
01:05:49.480Some of the things that we have done, in addition to what Lillian presented, I think the most important thing we've done is really systemic changes to our recruitment process
01:06:01.360to try to recruit diverse residents to our program and then to retain and support those diverse residents after they get to our program.
01:06:09.640So part of this has involved transitioning to a completely holistic review process that we spoke about earlier today,
01:06:17.620abandoning, you know, all sort of metrics and screens, looking at people's life story and what brought them into surgery.
01:06:27.900And then the other part of it is increasing the diversity of the people who read the applications, right?
01:06:34.840Because that's an important component of ensuring that we get diverse residents into our program.
01:06:40.040And then once residents get here, how do we support them?
01:06:44.320Because when you're going into surgery, that's what you want to know about your surgeon, right?
01:06:49.280Is what their life story is, you know?
01:06:52.980And there's a lot more that Ben found.
01:07:01.960That's because at Duke Health, they don't care about what the public thinks.
01:07:04.640They're not really even concerned that much with patient safety.
01:07:07.400They're now an ideologically driven institution, just like every other company in the Fortune 500.
01:07:12.960Patient care is secondary to their political and ideological objectives.
01:07:16.080And it's not just limited to Duke, but also found that Wake Forest is about to graduate a student who bragged about injuring a conservative patient who mocked her pronoun pen, for example.
01:07:25.860Of course, if that medical student had bragged about injuring, say, a black patient because of his skin color, then she would have been expelled on the spot, not to mention arrested, which she should be in either case.
01:07:35.460And the American College of Surgeons, which has about 90,000 members, recently put out a definition of racism that claims that it's impossible
01:07:41.600to be racist against white people, which is just classic critical race theory.
01:07:46.340This is what institutional capture looks like.
01:07:48.380There are institutions in society that are never supposed to become political or ideological.
01:07:52.500Hospitals are supposed to focus solely on improving the lives of their patients, not some trans dogma.
01:07:57.700But once that firewall is breached, once ideology is the dominant force in hospitals, then people start getting hurt.
01:08:04.200By embracing the cult of WPATH and all of its unscientific barbarism, hospitals have abandoned the principle of doing no harm.
01:08:13.660By remaining silent in the face of WPATH's admissions of guilt, hospitals have become guilty themselves.
01:08:19.700And if this continues, if they persist in hiding behind WPATH's fraudulent standards of care, then they too must be destroyed.
01:08:26.840The only alternative is sacrificing the well-being of future generations.
01:08:32.140And no society that wants to survive can ever tolerate that kind of outcome.
01:08:37.780Which is why WPATH and all the hospitals propping it up are today canceled.
