The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1346 - The Media Says The Quiet Part Out Loud： OJ Was Their Hero Because He Killed White People

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, with the death of O.J. Simpson yesterday, leftists in the media are finally coming out and saying out loud what we've always known, which is that O.J. was a hero to them because he killed white people.

00:02:07.500 Back in 1995, there were two very different versions of the O.J. Simpson trial playing out.

00:02:13.200 And for most of the country, the trial was a spectacle.

00:02:16.280 A lot of crazy stuff happened, so much that most people don't remember all of it.

00:02:19.420 Now, overnight, for example, the National Enquirer tabloid morphed into a crack legal publication

00:02:24.520 that broke several exclusive stories about the proceedings.

00:02:27.600 They had 20 reporters working on the case, coming up with transcripts and scoops that everybody else missed.

00:02:32.560 And, of course, Norm MacDonald famously had so many jokes about the case that he was fired from SNL because of it.

00:02:37.620 In a decade since, there hasn't been any trial remotely like the O.J. trial, covered wall-to-wall for months by pretty much every channel in America.

00:02:46.600 It was entertainment.

00:02:48.740 Now, at the same time, in black areas of Los Angeles and in major cities all over the country,

00:02:53.320 the O.J. Simpson trial wasn't just a spectacle.

00:02:55.760 It was also about revenge for the Rodney King acquittals and police corruption more generally.

00:03:01.060 And that's been discussed quite a bit over the last 30 years.

00:03:03.860 You know, many people have pointed that out.

00:03:05.520 Now, what's gotten less attention is that with the O.J. trial, for the first time,

00:03:10.300 it became widely acceptable to think about the deaths of white people as necessary collateral damage to exact political revenge.

00:03:18.900 Now, there was no social media at the time, of course, and cable news was pretty sanitized, at least by today's standards.

00:03:26.100 So nobody with a major television platform came right out and said this directly.

00:03:31.080 But they didn't need to.

00:03:31.780 It was obvious, especially if you looked at how little concern there was among O.J.'s supporters for Nicole Brown and Rod Goldman and their families.

00:03:38.900 Nicole Brown, as you might remember, was repeatedly beaten by O.J. before she divorced him. 1.00

00:03:43.680 And then he hunted her down and nearly cut her head off.

00:03:46.800 Everyone knew this.

00:03:48.000 Everyone knew that it happened.

00:03:48.960 Everyone knew he did it.

00:03:50.200 But not everybody cared.

00:03:51.600 It was apparent from the reactions when O.J. was acquitted, there was euphoria among some people.

00:03:57.260 And it broke down along racial lines.

00:03:59.680 Watch.

00:04:04.380 This is the representative.

00:04:07.160 Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles.

00:04:10.340 In the matter of the people of the state of California versus Orenthal James Simpson, case number BA097211.

00:04:17.480 We, the jury, and the above entitled action find the defendant, Orenthal James Simpson, not guilty of crime.

00:04:24.680 Oh, yes!

00:04:38.040 Oh, yes!

00:04:42.960 In case number BA097211, we the jury and the above entitled action find the defendant

00:05:07.200 Orenthal James Simpson not guilty of the crime of murder in violation of penal court section 187A,

00:05:14.460 a felony upon Nicole Brown Simpson, a human being, as charged in count one of the information.

00:05:24.540 Superior Court of the State of California, County of Los Angeles,

00:05:27.560 in the matter of the people of the state of California versus Orenthal James Simpson.

00:05:32.280 So it's pretty disturbing footage, especially since at the time it didn't cause a whole lot of outrage.

00:05:36.960 And thousands of people all over the country, most of them blacks,

00:05:39.640 celebrated the acquittal of someone who obviously just murdered two people.

00:05:44.620 At the time, serious people understood that this was jury nullification.

00:05:49.000 But nobody really explored the implications.

00:05:51.620 What does a country look like over the long term when murdering white people is seen as acceptable?

00:05:58.220 What happens when the media and major political figures endorse this barbarism?

00:06:02.380 Not a lot of people seem to care.

00:06:04.940 Even after a juror from the OJ trial came right out and admitted many years after the fact

00:06:08.960 that 90% of the jurors knew that OJ was guilty, but the jurors acquitted him anyway

00:06:14.060 because they were driven by a desire for quote unquote payback.

00:06:18.360 Watch.

00:06:18.880 Do you think that there are members of the jury that voted to acquit OJ because of Rodney King?

00:06:26.880 Yes.

00:06:27.620 You do?

00:06:28.480 Yes.

00:06:29.060 How many of you think felt that way?

00:06:31.780 Oh, probably 90% of them.

00:06:36.880 90%?

00:06:38.940 Did you feel that way?

00:06:40.540 Yes.

00:06:42.500 That was payback?

00:06:44.180 Uh-huh.

00:06:44.560 You think that's right?

00:06:51.380 Well, she can't say it's right, but it's what happened.

00:06:53.580 It's what they did.

00:06:54.300 And she knows it's wrong to let a killer go free.

00:06:56.520 But, you know, that's what she did. 0.92

00:06:58.320 That's what they did.

00:06:59.460 That's what the jury did.

00:07:01.020 And this has all been known for a while now.

00:07:03.620 But what's less widely known is that the Los Angeles DA at the time, a Democrat named Gil Garcetti,

00:07:10.000 engineered this acquittal.

00:07:11.680 An attorney named Dylan Esper has cataloged all the ways that Garcetti rigged the trial in favor of OJ.

00:07:17.800 The big one is that he didn't try the case in Brentwood, which is in West Los Angeles.

00:07:21.380 That would have been the logical place to hold the trial because Simpson had lived in Brentwood for two decades.

00:07:25.800 But Brentwood is almost exclusively white.

00:07:27.820 And Garcetti recognized that for OJ to have the best chance of acquittal, given the racial politics of the case,

00:07:33.080 he needed to pick a new venue.

00:07:34.320 So he chose downtown Los Angeles, where he was able to secure an overwhelmingly black jury with just a couple of white people on it.

00:07:40.360 And Garcetti made several other decisions to swing the case for OJ.

00:07:43.280 For example, he declined to pursue the death penalty after publicly meeting with Johnny Cochran,

00:07:47.520 who was just about to join OJ's defense team.

00:07:49.920 That was a significant decision because a death penalty jury has to answer yes to the question of whether they'd be okay with sentencing somebody to death.

00:07:57.760 That weeds out a lot of the left-wing jurors immediately. 0.97

00:08:00.400 So Garcetti chose not to do that.

00:08:02.760 And additionally, Garcetti chose to present the prosecution's entire case during pretrial hearings,

00:08:08.820 giving the defense a chance to scope out all the witnesses well in advance of the trial.

00:08:13.760 And as Esper points out, this ultimately worked to the defense's advantage in a pretty major way.

00:08:19.220 OJ's lawyers picked up on one inconsistency in the pretrial testimony relating to the amount of blood collected by police investigators.

00:08:25.520 And they made that a major part of their defense, which they were prepared for because it was all presented to them.

00:08:31.740 Now, these were not errors or sloppy work by the prosecutors.

00:08:35.640 These were intentional efforts by Garcetti to avoid convicting OJ Simpson, which would have ended his political career.

00:08:42.720 Pretty much every black voter in Los Angeles would have voted to remove Garcetti if OJ had been found guilty.

00:08:47.860 Indeed, even after OJ Simpson was found not guilty, Garcetti refused to prosecute him for perjury in the civil trial,

00:08:53.780 even though it was clear that OJ Simpson lied several times.

00:08:57.100 But that's how committed Garcetti was to keeping OJ Simpson out of jail.

00:09:00.980 Again, anybody paying attention during this whole saga understood all of this.

00:09:05.120 None of these are new revelations.

00:09:07.440 It's not new information.

00:09:09.480 What is new is that now that OJ Simpson is dead, he died yesterday of cancer, as you've probably heard,

00:09:14.680 mainstream news outlets are now coming right out and admitting all of this, really for the first time.

00:09:21.840 They're acknowledging that OJ Simpson was guilty, but that he simply couldn't be convicted because of race politics.

00:09:28.340 So here, for example, is a CNN journalist explaining on camera yesterday that in 1995,

00:09:34.160 a lot of black people love to see a black man get away with murdering two white people. 0.75

00:09:38.860 Now, she catches herself midway through, but it's very clear what she was saying. 0.99

00:09:43.480 Watch.

00:09:45.360 It's also just worth noting how much was impacted by this trial, Jake.

00:09:50.920 So many things happened.

00:09:52.440 We saw policing changing here in the city.

00:09:54.460 And it's also worth noting because of that unrest, that racial unrest in the 90s,

00:09:59.100 that is why so many people who may not have been invested in OJ Simpson

00:10:02.900 were just happy to see that someone who was rich and famous and black

00:10:06.400 could get away with what other people did in the system as well, too.

00:10:10.260 You know, we'd have a much better understanding of today's race politics and how to put an end to it

00:10:15.680 if we could have admitted this back in 1995.

00:10:18.780 A lot of people wanted to see a black man get away with murder.

00:10:22.620 It's not that they thought he was innocent. 0.52

00:10:24.080 It's that they knew he was guilty and they wanted him to get away with it. 0.80

00:10:27.240 The two white people are collateral damage, basically. 0.85

00:10:30.940 A professor named Mark Lamont Hill, who maybe you've heard of, spelled this out very clearly yesterday. 0.95

00:10:35.460 He wrote this, quote, OJ Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood.

00:10:43.060 His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. 0.97

00:10:49.040 But he's still a monster, not a martyr. 1.00

00:10:51.980 Now, in other words, you can kill white people without penalty. 0.99

00:10:55.380 As long as the criminal legal system is racist and people like Mark Lamont Hill believe it's irredeemably, irreparably racist forever, 1.00

00:11:04.740 then it's fine to basically decapitate white people in their own homes. 0.97

00:11:08.140 That's what he's saying. 1.00

00:11:09.100 Like, the fact that he's acknowledging that OJ Simpson was a murdering monster, 0.82

00:11:14.180 that doesn't make his position more reasonable.

00:11:16.260 It makes it worse because he's acknowledging that and still saying that it was good that he was let off the hook.

00:11:22.560 This is according to someone who collects a paycheck paid by the government of New York to teach the next generation of Americans, by the way.

00:11:30.600 Yesterday, Hill elaborated on his reasoning, essentially saying that OJ had every right to kill his victims

00:11:36.600 because a police officer involved in the case used a racial slur at some point in the past.

00:11:43.140 Watch.

00:11:43.880 I don't share a belief in his innocence.

00:11:47.920 There's a difference between being legally, between being factually innocent and being legally not guilty.

00:11:55.220 OJ Simpson was factually, was legally not guilty.

00:12:00.020 OJ Simpson should not have been found guilty.

00:12:01.720 You know why?

00:12:02.420 Because there was a police officer, a racist police officer.

00:12:11.380 It's really that simple.

00:12:12.700 Now, you'll notice that there's no regard whatsoever in Mark Lamont Hill's mind for the two victims.

00:12:23.520 Their families aren't entitled to justice.

00:12:26.420 All because a detective on their murder case used a racial slur. 1.00

00:12:29.760 So if you use the N-word, then any white person who's tangentially related to you deserves to die. 1.00

00:12:36.000 That's basically what he said. 0.97

00:12:37.120 And a lot of people thought this way in 1995, but they didn't say it in public for the most part, and that is what is changing now.

00:12:45.580 Now, the reason several mainstream outlets spent yesterday eulogizing OJ Simpson as some kind of victim is that they approve of what he did.

00:12:54.360 There's no other way to spin it.

00:12:56.180 The New York Times, for example, wrote that, quote,

00:12:58.360 A jury in the murder trial cleared Mr. Simpson, but the case ruined his world.

00:13:02.560 Now, they quickly edited that out of the piece, you know, when people pointed out that he stabbed two people to death and therefore ruined their worlds too.

00:13:11.500 And actually, he ruined his own world by committing the stabbing.

00:13:15.600 For its part, NPR wrote the following headline on something called Threads, quote,

00:13:20.320 Breaking news.

00:13:21.040 The football great Orenthal James Simpson, known as OJ, has died.

00:13:25.440 The football great, you know, as everybody knows him, of course.

00:13:29.360 The Associated Press, meanwhile, tweeted,

00:13:31.000 Legendary athlete, actor, and millionaire OJ Simpson's murder trial lost him the American dream.

00:13:37.200 Again, it's the trial that lost him the American dream, not the fact that he, you know, actually went out and killed two people.

00:13:42.600 And those are all real headlines.

00:13:44.240 And everyone knows exactly what's going on here. 0.97

00:13:47.320 The only way to get glowing headlines like this from the corporate media is if you kill people they don't like.

00:13:52.680 It's the same reason the Washington Post described that ISIS leader as an austere religious scholar.

00:13:59.260 OJ Simpson killed members of a disfavored demographic, so they're mourning him as a victim, not the people he killed.

00:14:05.840 And this kind of attitude was, you know, was on display everywhere yesterday.

00:14:09.600 There was no focus on the victims whatsoever.

00:14:12.380 CBS News interviewed one of OJ's lawyers in the 1995 trial named Carl Douglas.

00:14:16.280 And in the interview, he comes out and declares what he saw as a main benefit of the trial.

00:14:22.960 Again, it had nothing to do with justice or finding the truth or the real killers or anything.

00:14:28.140 Instead, it was about showing to the world that black lawyers can get their defendants off too. 0.89

00:14:34.380 Watch.

00:14:36.020 What truths were revealed through the course of this trial that are still being struggled with today?

00:14:42.960 Your listeners don't understand that era of our country.

00:14:49.980 That was before the Internet.

00:14:52.860 Emails were not as widely used as today.

00:14:56.020 That's before Twitter, Facebook, or X, Instagram.

00:14:59.940 So everyone was transfixed on this case and on this trial that was being led by an African-American attorney.

00:15:08.480 What that case did for the image of black lawyers everywhere was significant.

00:15:16.100 And whatever you think of this verdict, for black Americans, it was not speaking about OJ Simpson per se.

00:15:25.700 He didn't speak to the black community in the ways that other black icons did.

00:15:30.260 But for the system, for black lawyers to be successful, for people to believe that at least once in our history, the system acknowledged the excellence of black lawyering.

00:15:42.800 That was a watershed event for all of the country to observe.

00:15:48.260 And I'm proud to have been a part of that nine-member team.

00:15:52.000 So he says, quote, whatever you think of this verdict for black Americans, it was not speaking about OJ Simpson per se.

00:16:01.460 Well, that about sums it up, straight from one of OJ's lawyers.

00:16:05.140 The OJ trial was not about OJ Simpson.

00:16:07.000 The trial was arguably the beginning, or at least a landmark moment, on the way towards our current era of racial insanity. 0.92

00:16:14.520 The race hustlers of the time rallied around OJ, not because they thought he was innocent, but because they saw him as an agent of revenge.

00:16:20.020 And Democrat Party elites in Los Angeles, like Gil Garcetti, did everything they could to ensure OJ's acquittal so that he could serve that function.

00:16:29.180 But nobody yesterday was more explicit about this than CNN contributor Ashley Allison, who's a former senior advisor in the Obama White House.

00:16:37.660 Listen to what she chose to say out loud on national television yesterday.

00:16:42.860 Watch.

00:16:43.100 But it was so racially charged because of what had happened just before with Rodney King, but also just how black Americans feel about policing.

00:16:53.340 It's not like OJ Simpson was the leader of the civil rights movement of his era.

00:16:58.240 You know, he wasn't a social justice leader, but he represented something for the black community in that moment, in that trial,

00:17:05.720 particularly because there were two white people who had been killed, and the history around how black people have been persecuted during slavery.

00:17:14.120 There were just so many layers.

00:17:16.080 And I guess I would just close with this, is that there was racial tension then, there is racial tension now.

00:17:22.720 It might not be the backdrop of the Trump campaign, but until this country is ready to actually have an honest conversation about the racial dynamics from our origin story till today,

00:17:34.460 we will always have moments like OJ Simpson that manifest, and our country will always be divided if we don't actually deal with the issue of race.

00:17:42.920 He represented something for black Americans because it was two white people who had been killed.

00:17:49.680 That's what black Americans connected with, according to this woman. 0.95

00:17:53.480 They felt affinity with OJ because he brutally slaughtered white people.

00:17:58.740 I mean, talk about saying the quiet part out loud, although, as we've seen, it's hardly the quiet part anymore.

00:18:02.940 And, you know, I know the whole imagine if the races were reversed thing gets old after a while,

00:18:07.040 but this really is no different from a white cable news contributor going on cable news and saying that Dylan Roof,

00:18:16.960 that white people connect with Dylan Roof because it's black people who'd been killed.

00:18:21.560 Now, of course, well, I guess I should amend that because I could totally see a CNN contributor saying that as a way of condemning all white people.

00:18:30.320 But imagine a white cable news contributor saying that in a positive way.

00:18:34.060 They mean it in a good way. 0.99

00:18:35.200 Lionizing Dylan Roof because he killed black people. 0.98

00:18:40.200 But you can't imagine that.

00:18:41.320 It would just never, ever happen.

00:18:42.500 And probably if someone did say that on cable news, not only would, of course, they'd be fired immediately, their life would be over.

00:18:50.600 They'd probably be arrested.

00:18:51.980 They'd probably find a way to arrest you for that.

00:18:55.640 But this mentality that we just saw there has metastasized over time, helped along by Barack Obama leading to the rise of BLM

00:19:04.320 and culminating in Floyd and the 2020 riots and then the post-Floyd era of DEI.

00:19:10.540 And now 30 years later, so-called race relations have deteriorated to the point that the race hustlers finally feel comfortable coming out

00:19:18.400 and telling us what their motives were all along.

00:19:22.420 So yes, O.J. Simpson is dead.

00:19:24.140 But the legacy of that trial, particularly the racial violence and distrust that it normalized, is still, unfortunately, very much alive.

00:19:35.460 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:30.880 Billy Wire has this report.

00:20:31.760 Representative Rashida Tlaib got testy with Fox Business Reporter Hillary Vaughn over a question about a rally in her home district 1.00

00:20:37.420 where anti-Israel protesters chanted, death to America, and called for the eradication of Israel.

00:20:43.820 Anti-American protesters, more importantly, calling death to America.

00:20:49.080 The rally in question, which took place in Dearborn, Michigan, featured a speaker named Tariq Bazi.

00:20:53.480 Bazi, we played this clip a few days ago, who was affiliated with the Hadi Institute.

00:21:00.800 And just to remind you, he said,

00:21:02.480 We've been asked in the past why our protests on the International Al-Quds Day are so anti-America.

00:21:07.620 Why don't we just focus on Israel and not talk so much about America?

00:21:10.780 Gaza has shown the entire world why their protests are so anti-America.

00:21:13.980 Because it's the United States government that provides the funds for all the atrocities that we just heard about.

00:21:18.440 And then attendees shouted, death to America.

00:21:21.340 And they talked about, and he went on to go talking about why America should be dismantled entirely, and so on.

00:21:27.980 So, this reporter tracked Rashid Tlaib down and asked her about this.

00:21:35.680 Because, again, this was happening in her district.

00:21:37.440 And these are her supporters.

00:21:39.060 These are her voters.

00:21:40.120 These are her constituents.

00:21:41.760 And what does she have to say about it?

00:21:42.900 Let's find out.

00:21:43.980 I don't talk to Fox News.

00:21:47.420 I don't talk to Fox News.

00:21:48.860 At a rally in your district, people were chanting, death to America.

00:21:52.540 Do you condemn?

00:21:53.560 I do not talk to Fox News.

00:21:55.160 But do you condemn chants of death to America?

00:21:57.860 I don't talk to people that use racist tropes.

00:22:01.900 Why can't you just say whether or not you condemn people chanting death to America?

00:22:05.820 Why are you afraid to talk to Fox?

00:22:07.420 Fox News is not, not, listen, using racist tropes towards my community

00:22:12.800 is what Fox News is about.

00:22:15.420 And I don't talk to Fox News.

00:22:16.360 Is death to America racist?

00:22:19.760 Is chanting death to America racist? 0.91

00:22:22.180 I'm talking about your guys' racist tropes.

00:22:23.680 You know, you guys are, you guys know exactly what you do.

00:22:26.820 I know you're Islamophobic, but you guys got to go deal with it on your own self.

00:22:30.580 You're not going to use me. 0.93

00:22:31.320 Oh, so it's Islamophobic. 0.98

00:22:34.880 It's Islamophobic to object to Muslims chanting death to America in our own homeland. 0.97

00:22:41.360 And you notice, Tlaib almost sounds like she's about to cry there. 0.88

00:22:45.460 And, you know, not because people were chanting death to America, of course,

00:22:49.020 but because she's being asked to condemn it.

00:22:52.160 And this should obviously be automatic expulsion from Congress.

00:22:55.220 People are chanting death to America in your district.

00:23:00.360 And if you cannot bring yourself to at least say out loud that you disagree with it,

00:23:05.220 at least, can you at least give us that?

00:23:07.920 I disagree with death to America.

00:23:09.740 I don't want to see that.

00:23:10.980 She can't do that.

00:23:11.580 Well, if you can't, then you're not fit for office.

00:23:14.040 And by the way, this is not some kind of gotcha moment.

00:23:16.840 And you see that from the media quite often.

00:23:19.640 I mean, it's almost always targeted at Republicans,

00:23:21.420 but where, you know, they'll call upon a Republican to denounce something

00:23:25.360 that has nothing to do with them.

00:23:26.960 Oftentimes, something that, like, of course, they're against,

00:23:29.200 but still, you need the performance of them denouncing it.

00:23:33.960 And they want to see the Republican dance on a string like a marionette, like a puppet.

00:23:41.060 But this is not that, okay?

00:23:43.520 Because in this case, you have not only Tlaib's constituents,

00:23:47.680 but her ideological allies calling for death to America in her district. 0.99

00:23:53.740 And there's a very real question about whether she agrees with them or not,

00:23:58.120 whether she condones it or not.

00:24:01.080 I mean, really, there's no question about it.

00:24:02.540 We know that she does condone it and agree with it. 0.65

00:24:05.980 But that's why this is a relevant thing to ask her.

00:24:10.920 And she, the headline is that she didn't answer the question,

00:24:14.960 but she did answer it.

00:24:15.920 If you're an American politician and someone asks you directly, right, to your face,

00:24:21.720 do you condemn those who say death to America?

00:24:25.280 Not answering that is an answer.

00:24:28.740 There's really no difference substantively between how she responded

00:24:32.520 and if, and on one hand that, or on the other hand,

00:24:36.340 if she had just said, yes, I agree, death to America.

00:24:39.860 I mean, if she had just started chanting death to America herself,

00:24:42.580 right there, standing in the halls of Congress,

00:24:44.100 it would be the same answer.

00:24:46.540 Because that is the answer.

00:24:47.860 She agrees with them.

00:24:49.100 Breaking news from Axios.

00:24:51.760 Reading now,

00:24:52.400 Latine, a gender-neutral way to describe or refer to people with Latino origins,

00:24:57.860 is surging in popularity on university campuses,

00:25:00.520 in museums, and among researchers and media.

00:25:03.780 Catch-all terms like Hispanic or Latino have come under scrutiny

00:25:06.580 for blurring important nuances

00:25:08.140 and presenting a large part of the U.S. population as a monolith.

00:25:12.760 Latine is part of a movement centered on wanting to build

00:25:15.060 and foster an inclusive community, says Carlos Zavala,

00:25:17.980 vice president of the consulting firm Whiteboard Advisors.

00:25:22.380 41% of U.S. Latinos in the latest Axios poll

00:25:26.540 say that they are comfortable with Latine.

00:25:29.920 The increased use of Latine comes as Latinks,

00:25:32.580 or Latinx, has been phased out by some organizations

00:25:35.020 or banned by officials.

00:25:36.860 Latinx has been pushed by U.S. academics

00:25:39.040 as a gender-neutral option for Latinos,

00:25:41.260 but was criticized for using the letter X

00:25:43.920 in a manner that's unnatural to Spanish speakers.

00:25:47.700 Okay, well, first of all,

00:25:49.640 they claim that 41% of Hispanics are comfortable with Latine,

00:25:53.040 comfortable with being called something

00:25:54.500 that sounds dangerously close to Latrine.

00:25:57.060 But then I looked at the survey they linked to,

00:25:59.040 and I didn't even see that question asked.

00:26:01.740 So maybe I missed it, maybe it was,

00:26:04.380 but I couldn't find it.

00:26:07.060 So assuming for a moment

00:26:08.360 that 41% of Hispanics really did say

00:26:11.940 in some poll that they're comfortable

00:26:13.420 being called Latine,

00:26:15.740 it's still obviously not what most Hispanics prefer.

00:26:20.120 And this is not something that Hispanics came up with. 0.97

00:26:23.420 Okay, this is not,

00:26:25.300 there's a reason why these terms

00:26:27.580 are not coming,

00:26:29.660 are not originating from that part of the world.

00:26:34.320 There are a lot of things

00:26:35.460 that are sneaking over the border, right?

00:26:37.340 But that terminology is not coming

00:26:39.780 from the south of the border.

00:26:41.320 It's coming,

00:26:41.960 it's starting here,

00:26:43.060 and they're trying to export it down that way.

00:26:48.400 So left-wing academics are inventing

00:26:51.300 these new inane terms

00:26:53.040 to refer to Hispanics, 0.64

00:26:54.500 and they're just trying to see

00:26:55.960 which one they can get to stick.

00:26:57.140 That's all that's happening.

00:26:58.320 They want to find out

00:26:59.140 which one is the least objectionable

00:27:01.140 to the people that it labels.

00:27:02.620 And then that's what they're going to go with,

00:27:06.180 and that's what's going on here.

00:27:07.060 Meanwhile, of course,

00:27:07.820 what makes this all the more absurd

00:27:09.720 is that if you're really determined

00:27:12.560 to find a gender-neutral term

00:27:15.040 to refer to these people,

00:27:17.400 well, there's Hispanic.

00:27:19.000 Okay, so you can just say that.

00:27:20.560 And these academics and people in media

00:27:22.480 who want a gender-neutral term,

00:27:25.000 they've never been able to explain

00:27:26.580 why Hispanic doesn't work. 0.97

00:27:28.560 Like, why can't you just say that?

00:27:29.620 What's the problem?

00:27:32.340 And even if you don't want that,

00:27:33.780 well, then, like, why not just say Latin?

00:27:38.200 We call it Latin America anyway, don't we?

00:27:42.400 So why do you need to affix

00:27:44.900 another letter onto it?

00:27:47.900 If this really is a problem for you,

00:27:50.120 then you could just say Latin,

00:27:52.420 and that would cover all the bases.

00:27:55.720 Instead, they're, like,

00:27:56.920 going through every letter in the alphabet

00:27:58.800 until they land on one

00:28:00.500 that people are willing to use.

00:28:03.880 So it's, you know,

00:28:04.920 they started with the worst letter

00:28:06.580 they could choose for this project,

00:28:09.140 which is X.

00:28:10.560 So they tried Latinx.

00:28:11.800 That didn't work.

00:28:12.480 Now they're trying Latin.

00:28:14.400 If that doesn't work,

00:28:15.340 you could do, I don't know,

00:28:16.760 Latinu, put a U at the end. 0.85

00:28:19.740 Latinx, put a K. 1.00

00:28:23.080 How about this one?

00:28:25.040 Or you could do a Z, Latinx. 0.95

00:28:26.680 Or Latini.

00:28:31.180 Put a Y at the end.

00:28:32.580 The Latini people.

00:28:35.080 But none of this makes any sense

00:28:36.380 because Spanish, of course,

00:28:38.880 is a gendered language.

00:28:41.800 That's the language.

00:28:43.800 That's what it is.

00:28:45.580 And I made this point before, of course,

00:28:48.340 but it bears repeating.

00:28:49.080 What we see with things like Latinx and Latine,

00:28:53.920 what we see with this is that

00:28:56.000 this is the only form of colonization

00:28:58.180 that is really happening in the world today.

00:29:01.080 And it's the most objectionable form.

00:29:04.000 Because colonization in and of itself,

00:29:06.400 in principle, is not evil.

00:29:07.980 It can be quite good.

00:29:09.960 It has been a force for good,

00:29:11.880 historically, for the most part.

00:29:13.960 You think about where the world would be.

00:29:15.140 Think about where this continent would be

00:29:17.520 if not for colonization.

00:29:20.020 Well, we'd still be in the Stone Age.

00:29:21.580 That's where we would be.

00:29:23.700 But colonization can be done in sinister ways

00:29:26.780 and for sinister reasons.

00:29:28.920 And that's what this is.

00:29:32.300 This is cultural colonization.

00:29:34.040 It's ideological colonization.

00:29:35.440 It is taking, you know, American, 0.97

00:29:41.560 it's left-wing American academics

00:29:44.880 quite explicitly trying to impose

00:29:48.820 their way of thinking

00:29:50.360 and their way of speaking

00:29:52.220 on an entire group of people,

00:29:55.040 onto a language.

00:29:57.700 Trying to impose their obsession

00:30:00.660 with gender neutrality

00:30:03.240 onto a gendered language. 1.00

00:30:06.560 And of course, this is just one facet

00:30:08.600 of the overall ideological colonization agenda.

00:30:12.260 There's also the, you know,

00:30:13.320 hanging pride flags on embassies

00:30:15.180 in conservative Christian countries.

00:30:17.400 You know, forcing the LGBT stuff, 1.00

00:30:19.760 the gender neutral stuff,

00:30:20.820 the trans stuff.

00:30:21.400 All of that is colonization.

00:30:25.580 And it's really the only form that happens.

00:30:28.220 At least it's the only form happening.

00:30:30.220 It's the only form of colonization

00:30:31.920 being done

00:30:33.120 in the Western world, anyway.

00:30:38.040 All right, I want to show,

00:30:38.760 I want to, you know,

00:30:39.660 we've been talking, of course,

00:30:40.540 about this week,

00:30:41.820 about the fight

00:30:44.860 over abortion,

00:30:48.540 the fight on the right

00:30:50.140 among conservatives

00:30:51.000 over abortion

00:30:52.440 and what the position

00:30:54.480 on that should be

00:30:56.180 heading into the election.

00:30:57.280 Even though,

00:30:59.940 as we talked about yesterday,

00:31:01.580 the position is really quite clear

00:31:03.040 that killing babies is wrong

00:31:05.100 all the time. 0.98

00:31:06.300 And that's really the position.

00:31:07.540 And it's the clearest position.

00:31:08.740 It's the right position.

00:31:10.100 It's a pretty unassailable position

00:31:11.720 morally and logically.

00:31:13.820 But there's certainly not why,

00:31:15.520 there is not a consensus

00:31:17.220 on that in the right.

00:31:18.520 We know that Carrie Lake 0.64

00:31:19.980 is running for Senate in Arizona,

00:31:22.160 had already come out

00:31:23.300 and said that she opposed

00:31:25.200 a Supreme Court decision

00:31:26.960 in Arizona

00:31:27.780 that would result

00:31:29.140 in the banning

00:31:29.920 of most abortions

00:31:30.860 in the state.

00:31:32.580 So,

00:31:33.180 people on her side

00:31:34.720 of this discussion

00:31:35.440 have been saying

00:31:37.060 that, well,

00:31:37.740 this should not be

00:31:38.780 a federal ban,

00:31:39.420 it's a state's rights issue.

00:31:40.900 And then we discover,

00:31:41.900 what do you know,

00:31:43.020 that they're claiming

00:31:43.660 they just want it to be

00:31:44.400 a state's rights issue,

00:31:45.720 but then when a state

00:31:46.720 actually does ban it,

00:31:48.360 they don't like that either.

00:31:49.760 So it turns out

00:31:50.520 they don't want abortion 1.00

00:31:51.460 to be state's rights,

00:31:52.580 they just want there

00:31:53.360 to be abortion. 1.00

00:31:54.160 This is just pro-abortion 1.00

00:31:55.460 is what it is.

00:31:56.680 And so Carrie Lake

00:31:57.420 put out a video yesterday,

00:31:59.600 and it's a five-minute video,

00:32:00.440 we're not going to play

00:32:00.820 the whole thing,

00:32:01.920 but I want to play

00:32:02.320 at least the first,

00:32:03.300 you know,

00:32:03.640 the first portion of it

00:32:05.000 where she's talking

00:32:06.480 about her views

00:32:07.860 on the topic of abortion

00:32:09.000 and why she opposes

00:32:10.900 this abortion ban

00:32:12.240 even while claiming

00:32:13.040 to be pro-life

00:32:13.800 and be a conservative.

00:32:15.620 Let's watch some of this.

00:32:17.620 This total ban

00:32:19.000 on abortion

00:32:19.660 that the Arizona Supreme Court

00:32:21.240 just ruled on

00:32:22.020 is out of line

00:32:23.720 with where the people

00:32:24.920 of this state are.

00:32:25.940 The issue is less

00:32:27.520 about banning abortion

00:32:28.960 and more about saving babies.

00:32:30.740 I agree with President Trump.

00:32:31.980 This is such a personal

00:32:33.280 and private issue.

00:32:34.480 I chose life,

00:32:35.820 but I'm not every woman.

00:32:37.860 I want to make sure

00:32:39.300 that every woman

00:32:40.340 who finds herself pregnant

00:32:41.620 has more choices

00:32:42.980 so that she can make 0.99

00:32:44.180 that choice that I made.

00:32:46.080 I'll never forget

00:32:47.140 the first time I got pregnant,

00:32:49.440 taking that pregnancy test,

00:32:50.860 looking down,

00:32:52.100 and I was excited,

00:32:54.280 but I'll be honest,

00:32:55.740 I was afraid as well.

00:32:57.180 I was nervous.

00:32:58.380 I was anxious.

00:32:59.600 It's natural for women 1.00

00:33:01.040 to be nervous

00:33:01.780 and anxious

00:33:02.380 when they're pregnant. 0.69

00:33:03.320 I never would ever assume

00:33:04.640 that any woman 0.97

00:33:05.440 had the same exact feelings

00:33:07.540 I had

00:33:08.200 or situation I had.

00:33:10.040 We know that some women 1.00

00:33:11.260 are economically

00:33:12.780 in a horrible situation.

00:33:15.640 They might be

00:33:16.180 in an abusive relationship.

00:33:18.180 They might be

00:33:18.660 the victim of rape.

00:33:19.460 I agree with President Trump.

00:33:20.920 We must have exceptions

00:33:21.960 for rape,

00:33:22.960 incest,

00:33:23.440 and the life of a mother.

00:33:24.640 We, as American people,

00:33:26.280 don't agree on everything

00:33:27.600 all of the time.

00:33:29.160 First of all,

00:33:32.020 you know,

00:33:32.320 there are some conservatives

00:33:33.340 that are defending

00:33:34.080 what you just watched there.

00:33:35.420 If she did the same thing

00:33:38.460 on immigration

00:33:39.320 or gun control,

00:33:42.100 you know,

00:33:43.080 I don't think

00:33:43.880 those conservatives

00:33:44.520 would be defending her.

00:33:46.780 And guess what?

00:33:48.100 The most right-wing,

00:33:50.360 most conservative position

00:33:51.620 on those topics

00:33:52.500 is also

00:33:53.420 not the mainstream.

00:33:55.760 It's not where most people are.

00:33:58.140 So,

00:33:58.960 now,

00:33:59.280 most Americans want

00:34:00.800 immigration laws

00:34:02.820 to be enforced.

00:34:03.480 Most Americans want,

00:34:05.160 don't want illegal immigrants 1.00

00:34:06.540 taking our jobs.

00:34:08.000 Most Americans want,

00:34:09.700 you know,

00:34:10.640 basically want gun rights.

00:34:14.060 But if you're truly conservative

00:34:16.080 on these issues,

00:34:17.520 you most likely

00:34:19.240 take that far.

00:34:20.920 I know I certainly do.

00:34:23.300 You take that principle

00:34:25.000 farther than

00:34:26.100 the mainstream does.

00:34:29.660 That's why we differ.

00:34:30.560 That's why it's the mainstream.

00:34:32.940 And I think that if Carrie Lake

00:34:34.100 had, say,

00:34:34.640 looked at the polls

00:34:35.340 and then put out

00:34:36.380 this little squishy video

00:34:37.580 with the music

00:34:38.780 in the background

00:34:39.440 and the piano music

00:34:40.280 and explaining why

00:34:42.000 she's moderated

00:34:43.340 her positions 0.56

00:34:43.940 on any other topic,

00:34:45.640 I don't think

00:34:47.100 it would be found acceptable

00:34:48.160 by almost any conservative.

00:34:50.920 And yet,

00:34:51.560 this is supposed to be acceptable

00:34:52.520 on abortion? 0.97

00:34:53.320 It's not.

00:34:53.740 So here's the problem.

00:34:59.760 Number one,

00:35:00.280 this is just wrong.

00:35:01.700 It's wrong.

00:35:03.060 It's, you know,

00:35:03.960 if you care about

00:35:04.700 that sort of thing,

00:35:05.380 it is morally wrong.

00:35:06.680 It's wrong on principle

00:35:07.580 to come out

00:35:09.420 and in support of,

00:35:11.340 well, women have to make, 1.00

00:35:12.260 sometimes you have to make 1.00

00:35:13.000 the choice to kill your baby. 1.00

00:35:14.060 It's just a choice 1.00

00:35:14.720 that has to be made.

00:35:16.700 It's a personal,

00:35:18.480 it's a very personal,

00:35:20.100 difficult choice 1.00

00:35:20.940 to kill the baby. 1.00

00:35:21.800 And sometimes you have 1.00

00:35:22.520 to do that.

00:35:24.340 It's actually

00:35:24.960 a reprehensible,

00:35:27.240 disgusting view.

00:35:31.760 And also, 0.93

00:35:33.140 it is politically suicidal.

00:35:36.100 It is not going to work.

00:35:39.040 So even if you don't care

00:35:40.500 about the morality of it,

00:35:42.460 even if you scoff at that,

00:35:44.340 and you say,

00:35:44.800 oh, yeah,

00:35:45.500 Matt's just being a purist.

00:35:48.220 He's trying to be one of those

00:35:48.940 true conservative types.

00:35:51.720 Fine.

00:35:52.140 Then let's talk about

00:35:53.520 the politics of it.

00:35:55.000 Politically, 0.99

00:35:55.480 it's a dumb strategy. 0.99

00:35:57.940 It is the strategy 1.00

00:35:59.100 the Republican establishment

00:36:00.240 has been using

00:36:01.460 for decades.

00:36:03.240 It is not new.

00:36:04.180 This is what,

00:36:04.820 this is no different

00:36:05.620 from what John McCain

00:36:06.900 would do,

00:36:08.000 or Mitt Romney,

00:36:09.780 or any of the Bushes.

00:36:11.640 Okay?

00:36:12.020 Jeb, George,

00:36:13.020 any of the Georges.

00:36:14.620 It's the same thing.

00:36:15.800 It's the exact same strategy,

00:36:18.020 exact same position.

00:36:20.240 Was it a brilliant

00:36:21.300 political strategy

00:36:22.680 when they did it?

00:36:24.360 Has it been a path

00:36:25.560 to conservative dominance

00:36:27.040 in government

00:36:27.720 at any point

00:36:28.700 in the last 30,

00:36:29.400 40 years?

00:36:30.000 Huh?

00:36:30.420 No.

00:36:32.000 This has always been

00:36:33.000 the establishment

00:36:33.740 Republican view

00:36:34.820 that the only way you win

00:36:36.220 is by moderating

00:36:37.220 your views,

00:36:38.160 by adopt,

00:36:38.840 by looking at

00:36:39.600 where the left is

00:36:40.640 on a topic,

00:36:41.220 and coming

00:36:43.260 as close as you can

00:36:45.480 to them

00:36:46.160 while still pretending

00:36:47.420 to be conservative.

00:36:49.160 By getting as far away

00:36:50.720 as you can

00:36:51.520 from the right wing

00:36:53.460 on every topic.

00:36:54.540 That has been

00:36:55.160 the Republican

00:36:56.800 establishment strategy

00:36:59.000 forever.

00:37:01.880 And it has not worked.

00:37:06.100 So what do you achieve here?

00:37:08.120 What does Carrie Lake 1.00

00:37:09.080 achieve with this video?

00:37:10.080 where she is again

00:37:11.860 condemning a state

00:37:13.900 ban on abortion.

00:37:16.060 So this is not,

00:37:17.620 you cannot hide

00:37:18.320 behind states' rights.

00:37:21.080 Arizona has the right,

00:37:22.440 the state right,

00:37:23.460 to pass this law.

00:37:24.520 She's saying

00:37:24.820 she doesn't want the law. 1.00

00:37:26.640 It's a pro-life law 0.87

00:37:27.540 she doesn't want.

00:37:28.860 And the law even carves out 0.69

00:37:30.280 cases where the life

00:37:31.920 of the mother

00:37:32.340 is jeopardized.

00:37:33.360 Even though you never

00:37:33.980 need abortion

00:37:34.840 to save the life

00:37:35.480 of the mother,

00:37:35.940 it's not real.

00:37:37.040 But okay,

00:37:37.780 if it was real,

00:37:38.720 that's,

00:37:39.540 you know,

00:37:39.940 that has been carved out.

00:37:41.680 That's an exception

00:37:42.340 that's granted.

00:37:44.360 She still doesn't like it.

00:37:45.900 And instead, 0.93

00:37:46.460 we get this ridiculous video. 0.92

00:37:48.940 Everything she's saying here, 0.90

00:37:50.080 this is Clinton-era

00:37:51.100 Democrat talking points.

00:37:52.940 This is Republican

00:37:54.500 establishment talking points,

00:37:55.720 which means

00:37:56.420 that it is Clinton-era

00:37:57.980 mid-90s

00:38:00.260 Democrat talking points

00:38:01.960 on abortion.

00:38:02.760 Safe, legal, and rare

00:38:03.900 is what she's talking about.

00:38:04.800 She might as well

00:38:05.300 just said that directly

00:38:06.200 because that was

00:38:07.260 the mantra

00:38:09.100 of the pro-abortion

00:38:10.300 movement

00:38:10.680 for years

00:38:11.500 and years

00:38:11.780 and years.

00:38:13.040 And that's what

00:38:13.720 she's saying now.

00:38:15.800 And it doesn't work

00:38:16.920 politically.

00:38:17.380 And I'll tell you why

00:38:17.860 it doesn't work politically.

00:38:19.080 For two reasons.

00:38:20.060 Because here's what it does.

00:38:22.040 It will not

00:38:23.120 attract

00:38:24.040 the kinds of voters

00:38:26.820 who care so deeply

00:38:28.060 about abortion

00:38:28.800 that if you're not,

00:38:31.040 you know,

00:38:31.300 that if you're too pro-life,

00:38:32.460 they won't vote for you.

00:38:34.000 Those kinds of voters

00:38:35.160 aren't voting

00:38:36.320 for Republicans.

00:38:38.120 Okay?

00:38:39.020 If they care that much

00:38:40.400 about abortion,

00:38:41.480 they don't need

00:38:42.260 the moderate,

00:38:43.840 squishy,

00:38:44.900 milquetoast version

00:38:46.340 of pro-abortion.

00:38:49.840 They don't need that.

00:38:50.520 They can go get the real thing

00:38:51.400 from the Democrats.

00:38:52.680 If they care about it,

00:38:54.440 they don't need that from you.

00:38:57.800 So why,

00:38:58.540 if I'm a voter in Arizona

00:39:00.240 and I care,

00:39:01.140 and I care a lot 1.00

00:39:01.780 about killing babies 0.99

00:39:02.500 and I care so much 1.00

00:39:03.200 about it

00:39:03.540 that I would

00:39:04.560 refrain from voting

00:39:05.960 for a Republican

00:39:07.060 because of it,

00:39:08.280 why would this convince me

00:39:09.700 to vote for Carrie Lake? 0.50

00:39:12.340 Yeah,

00:39:12.780 she's like moderately

00:39:13.720 on my side now,

00:39:14.840 but then

00:39:15.300 the other guy

00:39:16.320 is fully on my side.

00:39:18.200 So I'll just vote for him.

00:39:21.260 You can't,

00:39:21.980 you can't out,

00:39:23.400 you know,

00:39:23.880 you can't find an angle here.

00:39:25.860 You can't outflank

00:39:27.220 the Democrat

00:39:27.880 to his left

00:39:29.060 on abortion.

00:39:29.800 So it's not going

00:39:33.680 to do much

00:39:34.060 for those voters.

00:39:35.380 What will it achieve?

00:39:36.600 Well,

00:39:36.780 I'll tell you one thing

00:39:37.400 it will achieve

00:39:38.020 is that you have

00:39:39.320 alienated and betrayed

00:39:40.940 the voters

00:39:43.220 in your state

00:39:44.460 who are pro-life

00:39:46.380 and do care deeply

00:39:47.280 about this issue.

00:39:49.400 Now,

00:39:49.940 sure,

00:39:50.220 some of them

00:39:50.600 will still vote for you.

00:39:51.420 They'll hold their nose

00:39:51.980 and vote for you.

00:39:52.660 Lesser of two evils

00:39:53.340 and all that.

00:39:53.820 But you have

00:39:55.720 demoralized them

00:39:56.720 and demoralizing

00:39:57.740 your base

00:39:58.300 going into an election 1.00

00:39:59.120 is a stupid strategy. 1.00

00:40:01.920 It's also one 1.00

00:40:02.960 that if you notice

00:40:03.720 the Democrats

00:40:04.440 never ever do.

00:40:06.480 They understand

00:40:07.500 that having your base

00:40:08.900 moral,

00:40:09.760 you know,

00:40:10.740 motivated

00:40:11.840 and excited

00:40:14.400 and amped up,

00:40:15.360 they understand

00:40:16.220 the value of that.

00:40:17.100 It's only Republicans

00:40:17.720 that don't get this.

00:40:18.560 So that's all

00:40:20.380 you've achieved.

00:40:22.100 You've demoralized

00:40:23.080 your own base.

00:40:24.980 And it doesn't matter.

00:40:25.800 Look,

00:40:25.960 I know there are

00:40:26.340 other conservatives

00:40:26.840 that will lecture

00:40:27.600 the conservatives

00:40:28.520 in Arizona.

00:40:29.880 Go vote for anyway.

00:40:30.620 Lesser of two evils.

00:40:31.320 It'll be your fault.

00:40:33.140 That's fine.

00:40:33.720 You can lecture

00:40:34.100 all you want,

00:40:34.700 but I'm just telling you.

00:40:37.440 And look,

00:40:37.980 if you haven't been

00:40:38.880 in the pro-life fight,

00:40:39.740 if you haven't been

00:40:40.180 in the movement,

00:40:40.920 then I know

00:40:42.320 you don't get it.

00:40:42.940 I don't really care

00:40:43.460 about your opinion.

00:40:45.060 There are some people

00:40:45.760 that have been in this fight

00:40:46.540 for decades.

00:40:47.200 They care deeply about it.

00:40:48.140 You might not get it.

00:40:48.960 You might not understand.

00:40:51.320 But they care deeply

00:40:52.220 about it

00:40:52.540 because they actually

00:40:53.240 do believe

00:40:53.740 that babies

00:40:54.260 are being killed

00:40:54.720 by the millions.

00:40:56.040 And so,

00:40:56.880 if you believe that,

00:40:58.240 it's impossible

00:40:59.400 to not see this issue

00:41:01.000 as at least

00:41:02.440 one of the top issues

00:41:03.660 that we face

00:41:04.200 as a culture.

00:41:07.640 And you need those voters

00:41:08.780 as a Republican.

00:41:10.320 You can't win

00:41:11.000 without them.

00:41:12.640 And so,

00:41:13.000 this is just,

00:41:13.500 this is 1.00

00:41:14.060 insanely stupid. 1.00

00:41:16.720 It really is. 1.00

00:41:18.080 Because she didn't

00:41:18.560 have to put

00:41:18.840 this video out.

00:41:20.540 She didn't have

00:41:20.940 to come out

00:41:21.480 and,

00:41:22.120 now,

00:41:22.300 if you want

00:41:22.760 to say that,

00:41:23.220 okay,

00:41:23.520 well,

00:41:25.440 sure,

00:41:26.120 but it would

00:41:27.700 also be

00:41:28.880 politically unwise

00:41:30.620 in her position

00:41:31.500 to come out,

00:41:32.800 you know,

00:41:34.660 openly and passionately

00:41:36.100 advocating

00:41:38.400 abortion bans

00:41:39.660 across the board

00:41:40.360 and making that

00:41:41.200 a central part

00:41:42.040 of her campaign

00:41:42.760 and talking about it

00:41:43.640 a lot.

00:41:44.040 if you want

00:41:45.440 to say that

00:41:45.740 that would also

00:41:46.240 be politically

00:41:46.740 unwise,

00:41:47.440 maybe it would be.

00:41:49.620 Kind of depends

00:41:50.200 on where you're

00:41:50.580 running,

00:41:50.800 what state

00:41:51.100 you're running

00:41:51.400 in and what

00:41:51.860 the situation

00:41:52.840 is,

00:41:53.260 but that's

00:41:55.100 one thing.

00:41:56.680 As a political

00:41:57.460 calculation,

00:41:58.760 it's one thing

00:41:59.680 for a Republican

00:42:01.460 candidate to say,

00:42:02.380 okay,

00:42:02.520 I'm going to,

00:42:03.040 you know,

00:42:03.660 we'll talk about

00:42:04.300 this a little bit,

00:42:04.700 I'll give my position,

00:42:05.900 I'm not going to

00:42:06.380 make it the focus

00:42:06.920 of my campaign

00:42:07.640 for political reasons.

00:42:08.700 that's one thing.

00:42:12.020 It's another thing

00:42:13.120 to come out

00:42:14.020 with actual

00:42:15.560 pro-abortion

00:42:16.100 talking points.

00:42:18.800 I mean,

00:42:18.980 Carrie Lake

00:42:19.280 has spoken out

00:42:19.880 about the abortion

00:42:20.380 issue multiple

00:42:21.200 times this week,

00:42:22.200 but to condemn

00:42:23.560 the pro-life position.

00:42:27.540 And then here's

00:42:28.560 what's going to happen.

00:42:30.740 That if she loses,

00:42:33.560 pro-lifers are going

00:42:34.640 to be the scapegoat.

00:42:35.260 So that's really

00:42:35.640 what's happening here.

00:42:37.220 You got some Republicans

00:42:38.140 setting pro-lifers

00:42:39.040 up to be the scapegoats

00:42:40.000 when they lose.

00:42:42.180 That's the plan.

00:42:44.440 And it's really 0.85

00:42:45.320 disgusting and reprehensible.

00:42:47.320 It's the same thing 0.99

00:42:47.860 they did in the midterms.

00:42:49.080 Using pro-lifers

00:42:49.960 as a scapegoat.

00:42:52.220 Meanwhile, 1.00

00:42:52.760 you have d***s 1.00

00:42:53.520 like Dr. Oz 0.99

00:42:54.420 running as Republicans.

00:42:55.600 You think maybe

00:42:55.940 that's the reason

00:42:56.540 they lost?

00:42:57.780 The guy's pro-abortion 0.84

00:42:58.900 and he lost.

00:43:00.420 So is that

00:43:00.700 pro-lifers' fault?

00:43:03.960 You're choosing

00:43:04.600 terrible candidates

00:43:05.660 who aren't even

00:43:07.880 conservative

00:43:08.480 and then they lose

00:43:11.200 and it's the fault

00:43:12.000 of pro-lifers

00:43:12.840 that that happened.

00:43:16.260 So that's how

00:43:17.080 they're setting this up.

00:43:21.600 And it is,

00:43:22.940 again,

00:43:24.380 it's,

00:43:25.280 on moral grounds,

00:43:26.640 it is disgusting.

00:43:27.940 But then also,

00:43:28.780 if you don't care about that,

00:43:29.820 just to reiterate,

00:43:30.900 on political grounds,

00:43:32.060 it is really, 1.00

00:43:32.920 really stupid 1.00

00:43:33.280 and it's not going to work. 1.00

00:43:34.840 I'll tell you that right now.

00:43:35.720 It is not going to work.

00:43:38.340 Let's get to the comment section.

00:43:40.080 If you're a man,

00:43:41.080 it's required

00:43:41.800 that you grow up in A

00:44:55.460 Okay, a few comments.

00:44:56.800 Blake Barrett says,

00:44:58.460 my family is still debating

00:45:00.740 a scattergories answer

00:45:01.840 nearly 30 years later,

00:45:03.260 even after my father's death.

00:45:05.360 Unit of measurement.

00:45:07.280 My dad's answer, six-pack.

00:45:09.980 Almost everyone voted against him.

00:45:11.840 I thought it was a valid answer.

00:45:15.260 And I'm very happy to vindicate

00:45:18.760 putting on,

00:45:20.880 I wish I had my gavel with me

00:45:22.640 because this now is putting on

00:45:24.140 the Judge Walsh robe,

00:45:25.100 but a totally valid answer.

00:45:27.700 Not only a valid answer,

00:45:28.680 but a creative,

00:45:30.260 innovative answer

00:45:31.600 to that question.

00:45:33.760 And this is where the debates

00:45:34.980 happen in scattergories.

00:45:35.820 This is actually,

00:45:36.600 as I mentioned yesterday,

00:45:38.340 many members of my family

00:45:39.660 refused to ever play

00:45:40.480 scattergories with me again

00:45:41.740 after a particularly intense game

00:45:43.680 of it about 10 years ago

00:45:44.740 where I was,

00:45:46.580 and this is,

00:45:47.040 it's because of this,

00:45:48.200 not that exact answer,

00:45:49.500 but there were several fights

00:45:53.340 throughout the game

00:45:54.380 because I would come up

00:45:56.100 with interesting,

00:45:58.820 creative answers

00:45:59.840 that were well within

00:46:02.580 the rules of the game,

00:46:03.540 but they didn't like it.

00:46:05.540 And so then I would get voted,

00:46:07.060 I'd get voted off the island.

00:46:09.020 And so it was a fight.

00:46:11.380 Grown adults

00:46:12.220 having knockdown dragout fights

00:46:14.120 about a board game.

00:46:15.700 There's nothing immature

00:46:16.560 about that at all.

00:46:19.140 Ryan Mitchell says,

00:46:20.100 Hi Matt,

00:46:20.460 everyone's telling you

00:46:21.380 what they think of Judge

00:46:22.360 by Matt Walsh,

00:46:23.060 but what do you think about it?

00:46:24.380 How do you judge your own show?

00:46:26.900 Well, I thought it was great.

00:46:27.820 You know,

00:46:27.980 I like the morality lesson

00:46:29.480 at the end of each case,

00:46:30.860 especially.

00:46:33.360 When I start the,

00:46:34.540 Cobra says,

00:46:35.400 when I start the

00:46:36.180 abortion debate

00:46:37.760 with friends

00:46:38.320 on Pro-Life,

00:46:39.780 they keep going back to

00:46:40.660 if the baby dies

00:46:41.840 in the womb

00:46:42.400 and doesn't come out,

00:46:43.820 if a woman can't get 1.00

00:46:45.160 an abortion,

00:46:45.720 then they're forced

00:46:46.260 to wait until they're septic

00:46:47.760 for doctors to do something.

00:46:48.800 How do you respond?

00:46:51.240 Well,

00:46:51.800 that's an easy one,

00:46:53.460 actually.

00:46:54.540 That's not an abortion. 1.00

00:46:55.800 The baby has already

00:46:56.800 tragically died in the womb,

00:46:58.520 and then it's a matter

00:47:00.740 of removing

00:47:01.500 the tragically dead child

00:47:04.240 from the,

00:47:04.520 that's not abortion. 1.00

00:47:05.620 Abortion is,

00:47:06.320 there's no abortion, 1.00

00:47:07.280 of course.

00:47:08.020 Of course,

00:47:08.440 if the baby dies in the womb

00:47:09.380 and you need to remove

00:47:11.280 the baby,

00:47:13.720 of course you should,

00:47:15.140 and that,

00:47:16.280 again,

00:47:16.440 is not an abortion.

00:47:17.240 Abortion is the, 0.76

00:47:18.380 is the,

00:47:18.940 is the direct

00:47:19.720 and intentional killing

00:47:21.140 of the child. 0.72

00:47:22.640 That's what an abortion is. 1.00

00:47:24.340 And anything that is not that

00:47:25.640 is not an abortion.

00:47:29.620 Nick says,

00:47:30.480 in one of the videos,

00:47:31.340 we're talking now about the,

00:47:32.400 the Dexter Reed

00:47:35.400 police shooting,

00:47:38.100 which the left is trying

00:47:39.700 to make into the next

00:47:40.360 George Floyd.

00:47:41.260 So far,

00:47:41.940 unsuccessfully,

00:47:42.620 but they're still trying.

00:47:44.500 Nick says,

00:47:44.880 in one of the videos,

00:47:45.660 you can see that the cop's

00:47:46.520 hand is black.

00:47:47.200 So there's at least

00:47:47.820 one cop involved,

00:47:48.940 just like every other cry

00:47:50.380 of racism against the cops.

00:47:51.920 I mean,

00:47:52.160 these people at this point

00:47:52.760 don't even care what the race

00:47:53.740 is of the cops.

00:47:54.560 In their mind,

00:47:55.580 law and order is a white thing. 0.70

00:47:57.840 Yeah,

00:47:57.980 they don't really care.

00:47:58.660 Now it,

00:47:59.520 it,

00:47:59.980 they don't care.

00:48:02.320 They do know that narratively,

00:48:04.120 it,

00:48:04.400 it's hard to make it stick

00:48:05.780 as a racist police killing 0.99

00:48:08.000 if the cops are black. 0.99

00:48:10.620 So in this case, 0.95

00:48:11.680 the fact that one of the cops

00:48:12.700 is black is just being downplayed.

00:48:14.280 But they don't see that

00:48:16.300 as a problem.

00:48:16.960 I mean,

00:48:17.120 if you point out that,

00:48:17.940 well,

00:48:18.140 how could this be a racist thing 0.99

00:48:19.680 when you've got a black, 0.97

00:48:20.400 then they'll just say, 0.98

00:48:21.520 well,

00:48:21.860 policing is inherently racist.

00:48:24.000 And so any,

00:48:25.320 anyone who is a police officer

00:48:27.200 is automatically racist

00:48:28.020 because policing is inherently racist.

00:48:29.880 And,

00:48:30.340 and they,

00:48:31.220 they have no problem saying 0.70

00:48:32.240 that a black person 0.66

00:48:33.600 can be a part 0.95

00:48:34.320 of that racist structure

00:48:35.420 and can be anti-black themselves.

00:48:37.180 And even if they don't know it,

00:48:38.680 and you know,

00:48:39.120 there's all this unconscious bias

00:48:41.280 and all that kind of stuff.

00:48:44.240 That,

00:48:44.400 that's the get out of jail free card.

00:48:45.920 Uh,

00:48:46.160 the sort of,

00:48:46.620 uh,

00:48:46.860 uh,

00:48:47.160 intellectual get out of jail free card

00:48:48.720 they always have,

00:48:49.580 which,

00:48:49.960 which is unconscious bias.

00:48:52.700 You have someone who's,

00:48:53.900 yeah,

00:48:54.060 they don't,

00:48:55.400 they're not,

00:48:55.780 they don't know that they're racist,

00:48:56.920 but they are

00:48:57.340 because it's,

00:48:57.760 it's unconscious.

00:48:59.200 Now,

00:48:59.840 leaving aside the fact

00:49:00.540 that of course makes no sense

00:49:01.640 because bias by definition

00:49:03.320 is a conscious thing.

00:49:05.200 It's a conscious,

00:49:06.040 you know,

00:49:06.260 bias is a,

00:49:07.100 is,

00:49:07.320 is discriminating consciously

00:49:10.460 against someone.

00:49:11.680 And,

00:49:12.160 uh,

00:49:12.460 so if it's not conscious,

00:49:13.700 then it's not biased,

00:49:14.400 but they don't care about that.

00:49:16.980 Let's see.

00:49:18.200 James says,

00:49:19.240 I'm no fan of escalating a situation

00:49:20.880 to where it turns into this mess.

00:49:22.920 Is there another way

00:49:23.760 for the cops to handle this situation?

00:49:25.360 Maybe step back,

00:49:26.560 block him in with cars,

00:49:27.880 take out his tires,

00:49:29.600 clear the area,

00:49:30.400 and wait him out.

00:49:31.860 He might've just been having a bad day.

00:49:34.560 Well,

00:49:34.980 look,

00:49:35.180 James,

00:49:35.360 if you have a bad day 0.99

00:49:36.040 that involves shooting at the cops, 1.00

00:49:37.300 then you're going to die. 0.99

00:49:38.660 Um, 1.00

00:49:39.320 that's going to be your last day.

00:49:40.940 And that,

00:49:41.960 that,

00:49:42.920 no one is to blame for that,

00:49:46.160 but you,

00:49:47.460 you know,

00:49:48.120 having a bad day can,

00:49:49.880 it can be a valid,

00:49:51.560 that's never really an excuse,

00:49:52.820 but it can be a mitigating factor

00:49:54.500 in some circumstances.

00:49:58.480 You know,

00:49:59.020 if you're having a bad,

00:49:59.920 somebody snaps at you or something

00:50:01.300 and they're a little bit rude

00:50:02.220 and then it's because

00:50:04.540 they're having a bad day,

00:50:05.340 well,

00:50:05.440 maybe that could be understanding.

00:50:06.520 You could be understanding of that.

00:50:07.940 But if having a bad day

00:50:09.200 is your excuse

00:50:09.720 for shooting at someone,

00:50:11.920 well,

00:50:12.920 it's no excuse at all.

00:50:14.740 And in this case,

00:50:16.160 there's,

00:50:16.840 what are,

00:50:17.040 what are the cops supposed to do?

00:50:19.520 Because,

00:50:20.300 keep in mind,

00:50:21.080 that shots,

00:50:22.680 they only started shooting

00:50:24.020 once they were being shot at

00:50:25.820 by the guy.

00:50:27.420 And once the guy

00:50:28.140 is spraying bullets around 0.86

00:50:29.440 and shooting at you, 0.88

00:50:30.940 the police generally

00:50:32.880 have no choice

00:50:33.660 but to neutralize the threat

00:50:34.940 as fast as they can.

00:50:38.180 Because then otherwise,

00:50:39.120 you've got a guy,

00:50:39.940 and keep in mind,

00:50:40.940 this is,

00:50:41.320 he's in the middle of the street

00:50:42.560 in a neighborhood.

00:50:45.020 And he's firing bullets.

00:50:46.400 So the longer

00:50:49.540 he's able to do that,

00:50:50.660 the longer that he's not neutralized,

00:50:52.440 the greater threat he poses

00:50:53.500 to the other police

00:50:54.720 and to the neighborhood.

00:50:56.800 And so they have no choice

00:50:57.580 but to just take him down,

00:50:59.300 take him out,

00:51:00.960 neutralize him.

00:51:02.160 And why do they use

00:51:02.780 so many bullets?

00:51:03.460 Well,

00:51:04.400 if you watch the video,

00:51:06.380 it's not that confusing.

00:51:09.300 Like,

00:51:09.700 once he's down on the,

00:51:10.980 once he was down on the ground

00:51:11.820 and not moving anymore,

00:51:13.680 that's when they stop firing.

00:51:14.840 They didn't stop firing before that

00:51:17.480 because he wasn't neutralized yet.

00:51:20.020 As long as he's moving,

00:51:21.100 he's still a threat

00:51:21.700 to the people around him.

00:51:23.380 And so you just, 0.94

00:51:24.160 you shoot until he stops moving. 0.93

00:51:26.380 You know, 0.92

00:51:26.640 when the Daily Wire

00:51:27.120 first approached me

00:51:28.080 about becoming a judge

00:51:29.140 and hosting my very own judge show,

00:51:31.820 naturally,

00:51:32.500 my first question,

00:51:33.400 as you would expect,

00:51:34.080 was,

00:51:34.720 well, 0.75

00:51:34.880 can I sentence people to death

00:51:36.060 on the show?

00:51:36.780 And they said,

00:51:38.100 no,

00:51:38.460 but we will pay you money.

00:51:39.680 And with that,

00:51:40.820 I'm proud to introduce you

00:51:41.680 to my new Daily Wire Plus series,

00:51:43.360 Judged by Matt Walsh,

00:51:52.640 legal authority

00:51:54.400 Morgan Wallen's latest legal issues

00:51:56.140 and determine his fate.

00:51:57.520 Fortunately for Morgan,

00:51:58.460 no,

00:51:58.860 but rest assured,

00:52:23.980 Now let's get to

00:52:24.540 our daily cancellation.

00:52:31.680 Bit of a special treat

00:52:33.040 for you today.

00:52:33.680 I have obtained exclusive

00:52:34.900 and I assure you

00:52:35.960 very real footage

00:52:36.960 of something that

00:52:37.660 absolutely begs

00:52:38.840 for cancellation.

00:52:39.640 Every aspect of what

00:52:40.480 you're about to see

00:52:41.100 deserves to be canceled.

00:52:42.120 Not just canceled,

00:52:43.000 but exiled out

00:52:43.820 into the desert alone,

00:52:45.340 rejected by society.

00:52:47.100 This is video

00:52:47.720 from something called

00:52:48.500 the Ally Awards

00:52:49.620 at the Department of Interior.

00:52:51.120 And after obtaining this video,

00:52:52.140 I googled the Ally Awards

00:52:53.400 to learn more

00:52:54.000 and I found this document,

00:52:55.020 which I assume

00:52:55.560 refers to the same event.

00:52:57.020 It says,

00:52:58.060 the Ally Engagement

00:52:59.500 and Enrichment Week

00:53:00.420 Ally Awards

00:53:01.340 are a People's Choice Awards

00:53:02.980 sponsored by

00:53:03.680 diversity change agent

00:53:04.920 programs across interior.

00:53:06.160 This program empowers

00:53:07.920 the workforce

00:53:08.320 to recognize

00:53:09.040 peer contributions

00:53:09.980 towards a more

00:53:10.780 inclusive culture

00:53:11.760 in the workplace.

00:53:13.040 And my favorite detail

00:53:13.800 comes at the very end

00:53:14.460 of the document.

00:53:14.940 It says,

00:53:15.760 nominations can be submitted

00:53:16.820 by a second party

00:53:17.840 or can be self-nominated.

00:53:20.080 So the good news is

00:53:21.060 that you can nominate

00:53:21.980 yourself in order

00:53:22.820 to recognize yourself

00:53:23.860 for your own role

00:53:25.400 as a diversity change agent.

00:53:27.540 You don't need to wait

00:53:28.400 for someone else

00:53:28.940 to declare you an ally.

00:53:29.820 You can just declare yourself,

00:53:31.440 which is wonderful

00:53:32.700 in my opinion.

00:53:33.260 Actually, I was so inspired

00:53:35.400 that I sent Daily Wire

00:53:36.440 Management an email

00:53:37.160 this morning

00:53:37.600 nominating myself

00:53:38.460 for an award

00:53:38.980 to recognize my own allyship.

00:53:40.980 I'm still waiting

00:53:41.460 for a response though.

00:53:42.820 Over the Department of Interior

00:53:43.760 where our tax money

00:53:44.800 is being used on this stuff,

00:53:46.440 the Ally Awards

00:53:47.240 were held virtually,

00:53:48.560 of course,

00:53:48.940 and it was a truly

00:53:50.640 beautiful event.

00:53:52.040 In fact,

00:53:52.940 the event even featured

00:53:53.840 a stirring performance

00:53:54.980 of a poem

00:53:56.340 called I Am Diversity.

00:53:58.740 And here's how

00:53:59.260 it was set up.

00:53:59.860 Watch.

00:54:00.980 And now,

00:54:01.980 we would like

00:54:02.980 to share a poem

00:54:04.260 entitled I Am Diversity.

00:54:06.460 The story behind this

00:54:07.660 is we discovered

00:54:08.540 this several years ago

00:54:10.020 when we were designing

00:54:11.360 an Interior Toastmasters

00:54:14.480 slash Diversity Change Agent

00:54:17.140 Poetry Forum.

00:54:18.860 And that we were

00:54:19.800 so moved by it,

00:54:20.860 we've since decided

00:54:22.500 to incorporate that

00:54:24.280 and really resonates

00:54:25.480 and it echoes

00:54:26.140 a lot of the themes

00:54:27.040 that we learned

00:54:27.680 about this week.

00:54:29.940 This is by Charles Benefield.

00:54:31.820 and what you're

00:54:33.500 about to see

00:54:34.240 is a video

00:54:35.540 of Boehm and Bessie

00:54:37.720 employees

00:54:38.140 who participated

00:54:39.180 in a recording

00:54:39.900 and a recitation

00:54:41.240 of this poem.

00:54:43.380 Please enjoy.

00:54:45.320 Okay,

00:54:45.820 we'll listen to the poem

00:54:46.540 in a second,

00:54:46.980 but they were moved

00:54:48.380 by this poem.

00:54:49.060 They were moved by it.

00:54:50.460 And they were so moved

00:54:51.240 by it that they felt

00:54:52.180 inspired to get a bunch

00:54:53.140 of employees together

00:54:54.100 to recite it.

00:54:55.400 and so here is the poem.

00:55:05.200 I am diversity.

00:55:06.940 Please include me.

00:55:07.920 I'm present in every place

00:55:09.460 you go.

00:55:10.080 Depending on your lens,

00:55:11.300 I'm friend or foe.

00:55:12.520 I'm forced to be

00:55:13.380 caught with.

00:55:14.700 Like the winds of change,

00:55:16.520 I move.

00:55:17.780 I'm swift.

00:55:19.000 I'm present when two

00:55:19.960 or more are together.

00:55:21.040 If embraced,

00:55:22.220 I can make the good

00:55:23.320 even better.

00:55:25.140 I don't mean to interrupt

00:55:26.380 this stirring rendition.

00:55:27.900 I promise we'll listen

00:55:28.860 to more of it

00:55:29.440 as much as you don't want to.

00:55:30.960 But I do have to make

00:55:32.860 special note of that last line,

00:55:34.360 I'm present when two

00:55:35.440 or more are together.

00:55:37.240 Now, students of Scripture

00:55:38.180 will recognize that

00:55:39.220 that is a line

00:55:39.780 from the Gospel of Matthew,

00:55:41.060 except that in that case

00:55:42.180 it is referring to Jesus Christ.

00:55:44.400 And here it is referring

00:55:45.520 to diversity.

00:55:47.200 So if you've ever doubted

00:55:48.540 that DEI is a religion 0.95

00:55:49.640 to these people,

00:55:50.460 well, there you go.

00:55:51.900 Let's continue.

00:55:53.320 I'm not limited

00:55:54.780 to age, gender, or race.

00:55:57.580 I'm invisible at times

00:55:59.980 and yet all over the place.

00:56:03.260 Don't exclude me

00:56:04.160 due to a lack of knowledge.

00:56:05.840 Welcome me

00:56:06.500 like the recruit

00:56:07.480 fresh out of college.

00:56:08.920 Let me take my seat

00:56:10.060 at the table.

00:56:11.120 Even though I may

00:56:11.900 be differently abled.

00:56:13.000 My experience,

00:56:14.060 my passion,

00:56:14.920 do a time to take me

00:56:15.840 can help add value

00:56:17.340 for your company.

00:56:18.760 Learn about me,

00:56:20.420 improve my under-representation.

00:56:22.740 And I can provide

00:56:23.480 a competitive edge

00:56:24.580 to your entire nation.

00:56:26.200 I exclude no one.

00:56:27.440 I am strengthened by all.

00:56:28.900 My name is Diversity

00:56:29.960 and yes,

00:56:31.160 I stand tall.

00:56:32.420 Recognize me

00:56:33.260 and keep me in the mix.

00:56:35.240 Together,

00:56:36.200 there's no problem

00:56:37.500 that we can't fix.

00:56:39.140 I'm your best hope

00:56:40.200 towards true innovation.

00:56:42.620 And to many,

00:56:43.480 I reflect hope

00:56:44.560 and inspiration.

00:56:45.620 Your lives and companies

00:56:46.780 will continue to change.

00:56:48.240 Thus,

00:56:49.020 the need for diversity

00:56:50.180 and inclusion

00:56:50.900 will also remain.

00:56:52.460 I am Diversity.

00:56:54.280 Yes.

00:56:54.900 That's me.

00:56:58.400 I'm not crying.

00:57:00.020 You are.

00:57:01.400 Thank you so much,

00:57:02.580 Alexandra.

00:57:05.380 She's crying.

00:57:07.120 Why wouldn't she be crying

00:57:08.480 over such an emotionally

00:57:09.460 gripping poem?

00:57:11.040 There were so many

00:57:11.700 stunning lines,

00:57:12.580 but my favorite

00:57:13.080 was probably,

00:57:13.980 let me take my seat

00:57:15.280 at the table

00:57:15.780 even though

00:57:16.760 I may be differently abled.

00:57:19.040 And then second place

00:57:19.800 for me was this.

00:57:21.180 My experience,

00:57:21.920 my passion,

00:57:22.640 the authentic me

00:57:23.500 can help add value

00:57:25.080 to your company.

00:57:27.480 Now say what you want

00:57:28.020 about the writing,

00:57:28.700 but at least it rhymes.

00:57:30.040 Sort of.

00:57:30.960 That's more than

00:57:31.420 can be said about

00:57:31.920 most of the bad poetry

00:57:32.920 I've forced you to endure

00:57:33.720 on this show

00:57:34.160 over the years.

00:57:35.220 So you have to take

00:57:35.700 the silver linings

00:57:36.420 wherever you can find them.

00:57:37.920 Now,

00:57:38.740 when most normal people

00:57:39.880 watch a video

00:57:40.440 like the one we just saw,

00:57:41.680 the thing that they will

00:57:42.480 focus on,

00:57:43.100 understandably so,

00:57:43.780 is the political element.

00:57:44.920 The fact that something

00:57:45.700 called the Ally Awards

00:57:47.120 even exists

00:57:47.900 and that it's being held

00:57:48.960 on the taxpayers' dime

00:57:50.320 in time

00:57:50.880 and that they've recited,

00:57:53.020 you know,

00:57:53.220 they're reciting diversity poems

00:57:54.540 and all the rest of it

00:57:55.220 demonstrates again

00:57:57.200 just how deep

00:57:58.140 the ideological rot goes.

00:58:00.360 And this is

00:58:00.960 in a government agency

00:58:02.260 that was founded

00:58:03.080 in the 1840s

00:58:04.120 to conserve

00:58:04.700 and manage federal land.

00:58:06.380 So it's not the kind

00:58:06.880 of agency

00:58:07.240 that you would expect

00:58:08.460 to be hyper-woke

00:58:09.580 if you didn't know

00:58:10.220 any better anyway.

00:58:11.620 But as this demonstrates,

00:58:12.660 every federal agency

00:58:13.700 is hyper-woke.

00:58:14.540 The virus infects

00:58:15.640 every level

00:58:16.280 of the federal government,

00:58:17.120 every department,

00:58:17.680 every agency,

00:58:18.220 the entire bureaucracy

00:58:18.940 is this.

00:58:20.020 Which is why

00:58:20.480 the next Republican president

00:58:21.500 in 2024,

00:58:22.460 hopefully,

00:58:23.500 needs to gut

00:58:24.300 these agencies

00:58:24.940 with a chainsaw.

00:58:26.080 I mean, 0.57

00:58:26.340 take them apart, 0.97

00:58:27.240 cut them into pieces.

00:58:28.720 There are about

00:58:29.360 two million,

00:58:30.100 I think,

00:58:30.380 civilians

00:58:30.740 working for the federal government,

00:58:33.700 which means that

00:58:34.440 at least a million people

00:58:36.320 should be unemployed

00:58:37.180 a few days

00:58:37.760 after Trump takes over.

00:58:39.400 Cutting half of them

00:58:40.360 is a modest start.

00:58:42.340 That's the only way

00:58:42.900 to treat this disease.

00:58:44.160 You set a goal

00:58:45.760 to fire a million

00:58:47.300 federal employees

00:58:48.020 in the first 15 days.

00:58:50.020 Call it 15 days

00:58:50.940 to slow the spread.

00:58:52.380 That's how you deal

00:58:53.120 with the political sickness.

00:58:55.120 But this isn't just

00:58:55.660 about politics.

00:58:56.420 To me,

00:58:56.760 the most disturbing thing

00:58:58.120 about the video

00:58:58.920 is how childish it is.

00:59:01.320 Like,

00:59:01.480 putting the wokeness factor

00:59:02.520 entirely to the side,

00:59:03.680 if they presented a poem

00:59:04.620 like that

00:59:05.060 to middle school students,

00:59:06.500 I would say

00:59:07.240 it's a bit infantilizing

00:59:08.440 for kids that age.

00:59:10.280 That it quite literally

00:59:11.220 sounds like

00:59:12.220 the kind of thing

00:59:13.160 you might recite

00:59:14.140 to kindergartners.

00:59:16.100 Now,

00:59:16.320 not that I think

00:59:16.740 that they should talk

00:59:17.400 about diversity

00:59:18.000 and inclusion

00:59:18.480 to kindergartners either,

00:59:19.900 but the quality

00:59:20.980 of the poem,

00:59:21.660 the artistic sophistication,

00:59:23.020 is at best

00:59:23.860 kindergarten level.

00:59:26.720 You know,

00:59:26.920 it reads like something

00:59:27.580 that you might find

00:59:28.220 on a poster

00:59:29.060 hanging in a guidance

00:59:29.980 counselor's office

00:59:30.780 at your kid's

00:59:31.700 elementary school.

00:59:32.980 And if you think

00:59:33.560 I'm exaggerating

00:59:34.280 about that,

00:59:34.740 by the way,

00:59:35.500 then here you go.

00:59:36.600 Watch this.

00:59:38.440 I am diversity,

00:59:40.880 please include me,

00:59:42.560 by Charles Benfield.

00:59:47.120 I am present

00:59:48.360 in every place of the world,

00:59:50.500 depending on your text,

00:59:52.000 like friend or foe.

00:59:53.540 I am a force

00:59:54.420 to be reckoned with,

00:59:55.640 like a little change I grew.

00:59:58.040 I am swift.

00:59:59.380 I am present

01:00:00.120 when two or more are together,

01:00:02.460 if the embrace

01:00:03.360 I can make

01:00:04.200 through a piece of bread.

01:00:05.720 I am not limited

01:00:06.840 to age, gender,

01:00:08.120 or age.

01:00:09.200 I am invisible

01:00:10.040 at times

01:00:10.740 and get all over the place. 0.57

01:00:13.040 Okay,

01:00:13.520 so that was an actual

01:00:14.200 group of elementary school kids

01:00:15.340 performing the exact

01:00:16.500 same poem.

01:00:17.800 The poem that

01:00:18.520 adult government employees

01:00:20.100 found so moving

01:00:21.240 and beautiful

01:00:21.720 that they had to

01:00:22.320 get together

01:00:22.840 and perform it

01:00:23.700 for each other.

01:00:25.620 This is elementary school

01:00:27.120 they're performing.

01:00:27.920 Because our country

01:00:28.520 is being run

01:00:29.160 not just by woke leftists,

01:00:31.040 but by woke leftists

01:00:31.980 with the intelligence,

01:00:33.340 not to mention

01:00:33.700 the artistic sensibilities,

01:00:34.720 of five-year-olds.

01:00:36.920 Which is no surprise,

01:00:38.140 I suppose,

01:00:38.500 the wokeness

01:00:39.060 and the five-year-old

01:00:40.000 intelligence

01:00:40.480 tend to go hand-in-hand,

01:00:42.360 which is why

01:00:42.880 the entire Department of Interior

01:00:44.880 is today

01:00:45.700 canceled.

01:00:47.300 That'll do it for the show today

01:00:48.120 and this week.

01:00:48.880 Thanks for watching.

01:00:49.540 Have a great day

01:00:50.280 and a great weekend.

01:00:51.240 I'll talk to you on Monday.

01:00:52.760 Godspeed.
