00:01:53.700 The same day that a trans-identifying shooter opened fire at a Christian school in Nashville, killing three nine-year-old children and three adults,

00:02:01.180 it took just a few hours for the corporate press to inform us that the real victims were not the people who had just been murdered.

00:02:07.460 Instead, we were instructed to reserve our remorse for the so-called transgender community who were supposedly being attacked.

00:02:14.640 Here's how one NBC affiliate covered the story on the same day as the shooting.

00:02:19.160 This is what, this is how they handled it.

00:02:21.180 Watch.

00:02:22.640 Nashville police keep identify the shooter as 28-year-old Audrey Hale, who police say identifies as transgender.

00:02:30.580 That news has already prompted some attacks against the trans community.

00:02:34.820 KPRC News' Bryce Newberry picks up our coverage from here.

00:02:38.520 No place for hate! No place for hate!

00:02:41.560 Demonstrators at the Texas State Capitol Monday fighting against anti-trans bills being considered by state lawmakers as news broke that the Nashville school shooter identifies as transgender.

00:02:52.580 It doesn't excuse anything that happened.

00:02:54.580 I am concerned about how opposition and people who are anti-trans will try to spin this.

00:03:03.060 Concern about tweets like this from GOP Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, writing,

00:03:08.420 How much hormones like testosterone and medications for mental illness was the transgender Nashville school shooter taking? 1.00

00:03:15.080 Everyone can stop blaming guns now.

00:03:17.100 The comparison of they did it because they're trans is very unfair to trans people.

00:03:23.780 Now, that footage, of course, was not edited in any way.

00:03:26.860 It's a full minute from the news report on the day of the shooting.

00:03:29.700 They don't express any concern whatsoever for the men, women, and children who were just mowed down in this Christian school. 0.98

00:03:34.440 Instead, the NBC affiliate talks about anti-trans bills.

00:03:38.020 They show a tweet from Marjorie Taylor Greene in which she asks a fair question, what medications the shooter was taking.

00:03:44.480 We're told that her question was concerning and that the transgender community fears attacks.

00:03:49.080 Never mind that the Christian community, that was just, you know, actually attacked.

00:03:53.400 And then there's a trans activist who says that it would be very unfair to suggest that the shooter's motivation had anything to do with the fact that she identified as transgender.

00:04:01.140 Later, multiply this report by about 1,000 and you get a sense of what the coverage was like, as you probably recall, in the wake of this mass shooting.

00:04:08.300 Then, of course, the White House got involved and amplified the message.

00:04:11.860 Under no circumstances were you allowed to ask what medications might be involved, nor could you suggest that the shooter's transgender status was relevant in any way to the story.

00:04:21.280 It was always very clear why we were being told to shut up and stop asking these questions.

00:04:25.280 Whenever you're told not to look into something, that's usually because the truth is unapproved and highly inconvenient for the people in charge.

00:04:32.680 And now, more than a year later, thanks largely to reporting from Tom Pappert at the Tennessee Star, we have confirmation of that fact.

00:04:42.620 The Star just obtained several additional pages of the shooter's manifesto, as well as a search warrant served by Metro Nashville Police on Vanderbilt Medical Center and a memo sent by the FBI to the Nashville PD.

00:04:52.900 And I'll start with a search warrant, which reveals, according to the Star, that, quote,

00:04:57.040 the shooter was given access to boost-prone Lexapro, escadalopram, hydroxyzine, and a sodium chloride nasal spray.

00:05:06.520 I'm probably mispronouncing all these.

00:05:08.640 Lexapro and escadalopram is a depression medication from the family of drugs known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, as you've probably heard of them.

00:05:17.540 Common side effects for Lexapro include mood swings, headache, tiredness, sleep changes, and brief feelings similar to electric shock.

00:05:26.600 The Star also reports that, quote,

00:05:29.260 using Lexapro and boost-prone simultaneously or Lexapro and hydroxyzine simultaneously can increase the risk of side effects from both Lexapro and the other drugs.

00:05:38.920 Now, note that this isn't necessarily an exhaustive list of the drugs the shooter was taking.

00:05:42.960 It's all we can tell from the search warrant that the Star obtained.

00:05:48.060 The upshot is that Marjorie Taylor Greene's question was not, in fact, ridiculous or conspiratorial or concerning.

00:05:54.240 She was exactly right to suggest that, at a minimum, the shooter might be on SSRIs.

00:06:00.280 About eight months ago, I did a monologue on the clear and undeniable link between SSRIs and mass shootings. 0.57

00:06:06.120 This is something we very, very often see, where you have mass shooters that are on these drugs.

00:06:11.600 In fact, it's so common that you can almost assume it every time there's a mass shooting, and most of the time you'll be correct. 0.86

00:06:19.080 A lot of official, quote-unquote, government data often downplays this connection, as I outlined at the time, but it's clearly there.

00:06:26.040 So to just give one example, a recent paper in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine found that the use of antidepressants doubled the risk of suicidality and violence.

00:06:35.360 And they used data going back to the 1960s and cited dozens of trials, but the official numbers minimized the impact of SSRIs on mass shootings,

00:06:42.560 in part by counting violence in the city as mass shootings.

00:06:47.480 And that's one of the ways that they, in many of those cases, gang violence, in other words, is a mass shooting.

00:06:52.560 And so, in many of those cases, the gang members are not on SSRIs, and so they're able to bring down the percentage considerably from that.

00:07:02.200 And now the Covenant school shooting in Nashville appears to be yet another mass shooting in which the shooter was taking SSRIs,

00:07:07.840 drugs that are well-known to cause increased agitation in some people.

00:07:12.480 The labels even warn that this side effect is possible.

00:07:15.020 So why are more people asking whether SSRIs are actually helping reduce violence and depression at all?

00:07:22.440 Just a couple of years ago that we learned that SSRIs don't actually work the way we're told they work.

00:07:27.200 Turns out there's no clear link between low serotonin and depression after all.

00:07:31.940 And meanwhile, after we're hopping up the entire country in SSRIs, rates of depression in mass shootings are only increasing.

00:07:39.060 Incidentally, so are instances of so-called trans-identifying individuals.

00:07:42.200 There are now more trans people, self-identified as such anyway, than ever.

00:07:47.560 And by their own admission, and according to the left's own words, they're one of the most depressed demographics on the planet.

00:07:53.980 But even after a transgender shooter opened fire in a school, you weren't allowed to suggest that the shooter's motivation might have had anything to do with transgenderism at all,

00:08:02.940 or even about politics in general.

00:08:04.560 Do that, of course, and the media labeled you a conspiracy theorist instantly.

00:08:10.400 Here's how News Channel 5 in Nashville covered this, and this is a week after the shooting.

00:08:15.900 Watch.

00:08:17.320 Director Rausch spoke at a Sheriff's Association meeting in Franklin on Wednesday.

00:08:22.720 Now, I'm told that he said that what police found isn't so much a manifesto spelling out a target,

00:08:28.840 but really more of a series of rambling writings indicating no clear motive.

00:08:33.820 Director Rausch told sheriffs that the review so far of the material finds that the killer did not write about specific political, religious, or social issues.

00:08:42.980 In fact, a primary focus in the journals is on idolizing those who committed prior school shootings.

00:08:49.780 Certainly, more details will emerge, but at this point, Director Rausch indicated it does not appear the shooter wrote of any particular agenda regarding politics or to target a specific person or religion.

00:09:01.480 So, for now, a clear motive remains a mystery.

00:09:05.240 Move! Move! 0.98

00:09:06.940 There are many rumors and unconfirmed conclusions fed, frankly, by conspiracy theories, but none of them have yet been confirmed by actual facts.

00:09:16.260 So, there's nothing political in the manifesto, according to the director of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation.

00:09:22.940 There's nothing coherent at all except maybe a desire to emulate school shooters, and that's what they told us.

00:09:28.940 And if you ask questions, as you just saw, the media labeled you a conspiracy theorist, but at the same time, they wouldn't let us see the manifesto for ourselves.

00:09:37.700 That was a pretty big clue that they're lying to us.

00:09:39.700 And indeed, once again, thanks to the Tennessee Star, we have the proof of that.

00:09:43.680 Before I get into the Star's findings, a quick recap here.

00:09:46.880 Late last year, as you might remember, Stephen Crowder posted some excerpts of the shooter's manifesto, which he obtained from law enforcement sources.

00:09:54.000 And those excerpts already demonstrate that the authorities were lying.

00:09:58.400 The shooter wrote about her hatred for crackers who go to private fancy schools.

00:10:02.800 So, that's an anti-white slur, which the authorities tried to hide.

00:10:05.400 And now, the star, with the help of law enforcement sources, has shed even more light on what the authorities were hiding.

00:10:14.320 And their findings paint a very clear picture of a mentally disturbed individual who wrote, just weeks before the killings, apparently, about her desire to change her gender.

00:10:23.000 Quote, the shooter's diary or journal entry begins with the title, My Imaginary Penis, and includes a crude drawing.

00:10:30.380 Quote, my penis exists in my head. 0.92

00:10:32.240 I swear to God, I'm a male.

00:10:33.520 Unquote.

00:10:35.120 She then wrote about her desire to have a penis for the purpose of heterosexual sex with a woman. 0.99

00:10:40.600 The shooter also railed against her conservative upbringing, calling it torture.

00:10:44.300 She described having intercourse with dolls as well.

00:10:47.140 Quote, I hate parental views.

00:10:49.280 How my mom sees me as a daughter.

00:10:51.240 God, I'm such a pervert.

00:10:53.160 She also wrote about puberty blockers.

00:10:54.600 Quote, I'd kill to have those resources. 0.56

00:10:56.660 2007 was the birth of puberty blockers and a newfound discovery for treatment of non-conforming transgender children.

00:11:02.200 She wrote.

00:11:02.580 So now you're starting to see exactly why we weren't allowed to read the full manifesto.

00:11:09.060 It presents a very clear and direct link between the shooter's trans identity and the murders. 0.75

00:11:14.640 You know, this was not a shooter who just happened to be trans, as the media suggested.

00:11:20.760 That's what the government and the corporate press wanted you to think so that you wouldn't have any unapproved thoughts of any kind about this incident.

00:11:27.440 They also didn't want you to blame their rhetoric for these deaths.

00:11:32.380 You know, they're the ones who ran around telling trans-identified people that conservatives and Christians are planning and carrying out some sort of genocide against them.

00:11:42.140 Which, you know, could have the effect of encouraging people to take drastic action.

00:11:48.300 But they didn't want you to draw that connection.

00:11:49.480 So they buried this manifesto as best they could.

00:11:53.400 In fact, the Star obtained a memo from Joe Biden's FBI to the Nashville PD shortly after the Star requested the government release the manifesto.

00:12:00.720 And in the memo, the FBI tells the Nashville police that they, quote,

00:12:03.900 strongly discourage public dissemination of any legacy tokens.

00:12:08.860 And that term, legacy tokens, as FBI lingo for the manifesto and any other writings of the shooter.

00:12:15.400 Quoting from the Star,

00:12:16.860 the FBI acknowledges in its memo to the Tennessee police that the desire for public release of legacy tokens often revolves around the public's need to understand what led to such tragic events.

00:12:26.340 However, the FBI claims legacy tokens seldom provide such comfort and instead could lead the public to dismiss the attacker as mentally ill.

00:12:32.800 The FBI, in its third point, claims that releasing legacy tokens will lead to the spread of false narratives.

00:12:40.120 So there you have it there.

00:12:41.280 It's the narratives that they're worried about.

00:12:44.360 And you know that's a lie because the FBI's failure to release the manifesto is what led to false.

00:12:48.860 So they are worried about narratives, but not really false ones.

00:12:51.020 Because when you don't release the manifesto, there are still going to be narratives.

00:12:56.500 And those narratives are much more likely to be false because they're not based on the actual evidence that could be provided to us.

00:13:03.940 Without the manifesto, the media was free itself to lie to us and pretend that there was no relation whatsoever between the shooter's transgender identity and the killings.

00:13:13.360 But in fact, there was a clear relationship.

00:13:16.640 The shooter was clearly enraged about the fact that she couldn't be a man.

00:13:21.600 Joe Biden's DOJ understands that this kind of revelation might be a setback for the White House's narrative, so they just covered it up.

00:13:27.780 They told you that the trans community was in danger instead. 0.94

00:13:33.260 Now, in a country where the government actually cared about the well-being of its own citizens and felt the slightest need to be honest with them, this would be a national scandal.

00:13:41.480 The FBI director and the senior leadership of the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation would all be fired immediately, at a minimum.

00:13:47.620 But our government lies to us as a matter of course, as we know, and they're not subtle about it.

00:13:53.360 And that's why the government's narrative about the Tennessee shooter is just one of several mainstream lies cooked up by the government and promoted by the media that we're getting clarity on this week.

00:14:06.060 So there's another one that we've talked about a little bit.

00:14:08.040 In his first testimony since leaving office, Tony Fauci just admitted under oath that the whole six feet of social distancing thing was completely made up, no basis for it whatsoever.

00:14:17.720 The guy who goes around calling himself the embodiment of science actually had no science to support social distancing.

00:14:24.640 Watch.

00:14:26.720 ...and Dr. Anthony Fauci has admitted there were no clinical trials to back up the recommended six feet distancing guidelines during the COVID-19 pandemic.

00:14:36.140 Dr. Fauci admitted that the social distancing guidelines to stay six feet apart had no scientific basis.

00:14:43.420 I said that it is not based in science and it just appeared.

00:14:48.820 It actually came from the CDC.

00:14:51.720 The CDC was responsible for those kinds of guidelines for schools, not me.

00:14:56.760 So when I said that it just appeared, it appeared.

00:15:00.780 Was there any science behind it?

00:15:02.720 What I meant by no science behind it is that there wasn't a controlled trial that said compare six foot with three feet with 10 feet.

00:15:12.920 So there wasn't that scientific evaluation of it.

00:15:15.980 Now, I don't need to remind you of this, but pretty much every single venue on the planet, from restaurants to schools to grocery stores and so on, mandated six feet of separation at all times during COVID.

00:15:26.780 And yet, there was never any testing to confirm that it actually helped, just like there was no experiment that ever determined lockdowns were a good idea.

00:15:33.540 And now we learn, years after the fact, long after it stopped being important, that it was all a lie.

00:15:40.280 The lockdowns did more harm than good and the social distancing rules were nothing more than a power trip.

00:15:45.740 And when I say we learned that, we knew that all along if you were paying attention, but now it's out in the open.

00:15:51.480 And that wasn't all that Fauci lied about.

00:15:53.320 He also denied under oath that he had any role in squashing the lab leak theory.

00:15:58.500 Watch.

00:15:58.760 I don't think the concept of there being a lab leak is inherently a conspiracy theory.

00:16:07.900 What is conspiracy is the kind of distortions of that particular subject, like it was a lab leak and I was parachuted into the CIA like Jason Bourne and told the CIA that they should really not be talking about a lab leak.

00:16:25.680 Thank you.

00:16:26.080 I had no input into the content of the published paper.

00:16:29.700 The second issue is a false accusation that I tried to cover up the possibility that the virus originated from a lab.

00:16:38.540 In fact, the truth is exactly the opposite.

00:16:43.020 Now, first of all, no one said that Tony Fauci was like Jason Bourne parachuting into the CIA or whatever.

00:16:48.140 You can tell he's thought a lot about that fantasy, which is weird.

00:16:51.860 I don't think anyone ever said that was happening.

00:16:55.000 So that's a total red herring.

00:16:55.960 What people did say is that Tony Fauci funded the lab that may have created the virus, which is true.

00:17:01.500 Then people said that Fauci conspired to shut down a discussion of the lab leak, which also appears to be true.

00:17:07.240 He denied it under oath, but there's at least some reason to think that it happened.

00:17:11.040 And here's an interview that Megyn Kelly did back in November of 2022 with Dr. Robert Gary, who's one of the leading epidemiologists in the country.

00:17:18.920 Initially, Gary thought the lab leak was the only possible explanation for the origin of COVID.

00:17:23.140 And he communicated that in an email that surfaced in a public records request at the time.

00:17:28.000 Watch how Gary explains his decision to change his mind.

00:17:30.820 Why did you originally think that it was likely from a lab?

00:17:35.900 Because we've seen in your correspondence with Fauci and Collins that you initially took a look at this along with other virologists and experts and said things like,

00:17:43.900 I can't think of a plausible natural scenario.

00:17:46.200 That was February 2nd, 2020, where you get a bat virus or one very similar to it, 0.99

00:17:51.540 where you insert exactly these amino acids and nucleotides that all have to be added and so on.

00:17:56.600 And then you said, I just can't figure out how this gets accomplished in nature.

00:18:02.180 And then two days later, well, then you spoke to Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins.

00:18:10.600 And then within days, you completely reversed yourself and did a 180 and said it can't possibly be lab leak.

00:18:16.880 It is nature.

00:18:17.700 Yeah.

00:18:17.940 So let me correct that a little bit.

00:18:19.760 I mean, that was one email that, you know, I had sent to, you know, some of my colleagues that were looking at this.

00:18:26.760 One email out of hundreds of emails and, you know, different kinds of Zoom calls and things like this,

00:18:31.980 where we're discussing, you know, the possibilities about where this, you know, where this virus might have come from.

00:18:37.780 So that one email that you just read is, like I said, hundreds of emails.

00:18:41.580 I actually wrote it, you know, at an evening.

00:18:44.840 I was at a Mardi Gras ball here.

00:18:46.480 I'm in New Orleans, right?

00:18:47.460 So, you know, I was typing on my iPhone there and, you know, just got this question, you know, you know,

00:18:51.980 what's the evidence that, you know, this, you know, if you're in cleavage side is natural or not.

00:18:57.740 And that's what I typed out.

00:18:59.520 Okay.

00:18:59.920 So Rob Gary first says there's no way this virus occurred naturally.

00:19:03.200 It must be man-made.

00:19:04.620 That's his assessment.

00:19:06.100 Then he talks to Tony Fauci and suddenly he says it definitely came from nature, disregard what he said before about the lab.

00:19:12.200 He was just drunk at a Mardi Gras ball, I guess.

00:19:14.400 Nothing to see here.

00:19:15.160 Now, if this happened just once or twice, maybe you could write it off as a coincidence or something, but it keeps happening.

00:19:21.220 We keep on learning that we're being lied to in new and different ways all the time.

00:19:24.860 Just the other day, for instance, the Telegraph finally admitted that the COVID vax might have contributed to all of these excess, unexplained deaths that we've been seeing in recent years.

00:19:34.020 As far as I can tell, this is the first mainstream admission of this even being a possibility.

00:19:40.560 Quote, COVID vaccines could be partly to blame for the rise in excess deaths since the pandemic, scientists have suggested.

00:19:46.840 Researchers from the Netherlands analyzed data from 47 Western countries and discovered there had been more than 3 million excess deaths since 2020,

00:19:54.220 with the trend continuing despite the rollout of vaccines and containment measures.

00:19:58.180 Well, that's good to know.

00:20:01.020 3 million more people just died than normal, and now we're learning that this experimental mRNA vaccine might have had something to do with it.

00:20:09.240 This was a possibility that was never even discussed when these COVID shots were rolled out.

00:20:13.560 I mean, never discussed in the mainstream, was not allowed to be discussed.

00:20:18.480 First, we were told that they were totally safe and effective, not that they might contribute to the deaths of millions of people.

00:20:26.000 But now we can finally have that conversation because enough time has passed that I guess they feel like it doesn't matter anymore,

00:20:31.520 and it's water under the bridge, and so we can talk about it.

00:20:34.420 Now, in all of these cases that I've discussed, the Covenant shooting, the social distancing BS, the lab leak cover-up, the lies about the vaccine,

00:20:42.680 the corporate press and the government are lying about the truth for the same basic reason.

00:20:46.580 They understand that the truth would expose their underlying ideology as a complete fraud.

00:20:52.040 The experts, quote-unquote, don't actually know what they're talking about.

00:20:55.840 Public health is based on vibes, I guess, not logic or science.

00:21:01.180 Your best guess about the ideal response to COVID is better than theirs.

00:21:06.900 Your intuitive understanding of transgenderism and mental illness, better than theirs. 1.00

00:21:11.720 First, the most fundamental belief of the elites, which is that their elites, because they're more knowledgeable and intelligent than you are,

00:21:20.180 would come crashing down instantly if you could see what they're hiding.

00:21:24.060 That's what they fear the most.

00:21:26.080 And after the revelations of this week, for the first time in a very long time, that fear is definitely justified.

00:21:33.560 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:21:34.880 You know, there's nothing like sitting behind a home plate at a baseball game, being courtside at a basketball game, or front row for your favorite concert.

00:21:50.020 It's like if you're hiring for your business, you want to find the most talented people for your open roles before the competition scoops them up.

00:22:26.780 I want to begin with this local news story out of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where they have been training a team of unarmed social workers to respond to 911 calls.

00:22:40.400 And here's the report from Boston 25 News explaining how this is going to work or not work, as the case may be.

00:22:46.440 Here it is.

00:22:47.900 We're definitely a pioneer in this approach.

00:22:50.040 A tentative plan to send a team of unarmed social workers to some emergency 911 calls in Cambridge could officially be rolled out as soon as next month, says Liz Speakman, director of the city's new community assistance response and engagement.

00:23:04.560 Having an unarmed civilian with experience in mental health, going to mental health calls is really the right response. 1.00

00:23:12.820 Speakman tells us that the five members of the care team have extensive backgrounds as social workers and first responders.

00:23:20.200 Unlike some other alternative response programs recently deployed in other cities across the country,

00:23:26.080 the care team will not be accompanied by police when they are sent to nonviolent, mental health-related calls.

00:23:33.160 If anything goes wrong, if there's any safety concerns, they can radio for assistance immediately and get back up right away.

00:23:40.540 It's an opportunity for us to help fix a system that's been broken for a really long time.

00:23:46.220 Care team member Marie Matthew is eager to start responding to emergencies that are presently handled by police with guns.

00:23:53.380 I think this program is an opportunity for us to take care of the people that we are trained to take care of.

00:24:00.300 So the only question is how long, how long before one of these people ends up dead or in the hospital?

00:24:06.540 I'd give it about six months, maybe.

00:24:09.660 I think that's probably a generous, generous estimate, generous guess.

00:24:14.360 Here's what I'd like to know.

00:24:16.340 How many situations are there where you would call 911 over somebody's mental health issues,

00:24:23.760 but the person isn't potentially dangerous?

00:24:26.860 Like, in what scenario would you, where no one is in danger, as far as you can tell,

00:24:34.960 and yet you're still calling 911 over someone else's mental episode that they're having?

00:24:43.900 Like, give me some examples of hypothetical scenarios where someone's mental health crisis would warrant a call 911,

00:24:49.700 and yet the people around this person are not in any plausible danger.

00:24:57.200 Now, I'm sure there probably are some hypothetical scenarios where that could be the case.

00:25:01.380 You could probably come up with some hypotheticals, but I think those are going to be rare.

00:25:06.320 Generally speaking, if somebody's mental health warrants a call to 911,

00:25:10.580 by definition, it warrants a response from the police.

00:25:14.140 Because if all they need is counseling or somebody to talk to or something like that,

00:25:21.340 then you don't need to call 911 for that.

00:25:24.080 Like, 911 isn't for that anyway.

00:25:28.060 So, that's what doesn't make any sense about this.

00:25:31.660 Because what they're saying is, well, sometimes someone doesn't need the police.

00:25:35.200 They just need someone to talk to.

00:25:36.700 They need someone who understands.

00:25:37.820 They need whatever.

00:25:40.240 Agreed.

00:25:40.640 You know, not everyone who's experiencing some sort of problem with their mental health needs the police.

00:25:47.720 But if you're calling 911, by definition, it has risen to that level.

00:25:53.820 And here's the other issue with this, because we talk about a mental health episode.

00:25:59.740 And she says that we need people with experience in mental health going to mental health calls.

00:26:06.280 Well, what is a mental health call exactly?

00:26:09.360 Or more precisely, I guess a better way of putting it, what isn't a mental health call?

00:26:18.000 Like, I'd like to hear that woman that we just heard in the video specifically answer this.

00:26:23.260 Give us some examples of times when you might call 911 on another person,

00:26:28.940 but it isn't related to their mental health.

00:26:31.820 Now, I could give examples, but the point is that she probably can't as the woman who's, like, spearheading this whole thing.

00:26:43.100 And that's because mental health is an umbrella that people like this use to describe, like, every crime,

00:26:50.020 every misdeed a person could commit is now under the umbrella of mental health.

00:26:55.860 So, you know, robbery is mental health.

00:27:00.140 Stealing is mental health.

00:27:01.100 Murder is mental health.

00:27:02.180 Rape is mental health.

00:27:03.960 According to the way these people look at the world, anyone who does any of those things is, like, primarily,

00:27:10.660 it's because of their poor mental health.

00:27:13.560 So then how does that work?

00:27:14.700 Like, every bad thing a person does, it's because of their mental health.

00:27:17.900 And so, are you going to send the social workers out for everything?

00:27:23.760 Now, I don't think it means that right now.

00:27:25.200 Like, they don't plan right now to send social workers to respond to everything.

00:27:30.480 As much as we joke about it, I assume they're not going to send the social workers out to respond to a carjacking

00:27:36.240 or, you know, a murder or something like that.

00:27:41.080 They don't plan on that yet.

00:27:43.260 But that's where this sort of thing is headed, because that's the category that mental health is in.

00:27:55.280 Or mental health isn't even, like, mental health is a category that includes everything.

00:27:59.720 It's the ultimate catch-all.

00:28:01.540 It's the ultimate explanation for every bad thing that happens in the world.

00:28:05.080 And so, although we may joke about it now, I guarantee you that if all these people don't end up dead

00:28:14.000 or in the hospital because of this, eventually you're going to see social workers

00:28:20.840 and mental health professionals showing up to pretty much every call.

00:28:24.000 Because, again, it's all mental health, according to them.

00:28:27.560 All right.

00:28:28.380 Here's something that's getting some attention because of the, well, this is Joy Reid.

00:28:35.800 And has said something dumb.

00:28:38.140 It's not exactly breaking news.

00:28:40.880 But let's check in with her anyway and see what she has to say.

00:28:45.240 Well, I don't understand it because many of them said, well, we, of course, we support contraception.

00:28:52.680 This is one of those weird deals.

00:28:54.220 What do they want the Democrats to do?

00:28:56.340 The Democrats have a majority in the Senate.

00:28:58.500 They have an obligation to try to pass legislation that they think is a priority in America.

00:29:05.080 This didn't have to be a show vote.

00:29:08.140 All the Republicans had to do is vote yes.

00:29:10.620 All they had to do is vote yes.

00:29:12.660 But they voted no, which tells you all you need to know.

00:29:15.560 And you mentioned Missouri.

00:29:16.880 Let me tell you how crazy it's gotten in Missouri.

00:29:19.700 Abortions, all abortions are illegal.

00:29:22.060 There's no exception for rape or incest.

00:29:24.380 Conception happens.

00:29:26.240 Life begins at conception.

00:29:28.120 It's a personhood state.

00:29:29.300 OK, so no abortions are being performed at Planned Parenthood.

00:29:33.420 Planned Parenthood got money as a Medicaid provider to do what?

00:29:36.980 Provide contraception. 0.58

00:29:38.580 And what did the Missouri legislature do this year?

00:29:40.760 And what did the governor sign into law?

00:29:42.600 Making sure they got no money to provide contraception to women to prevent abortions.

00:29:48.840 It is so nuts, Joy.

00:29:52.240 It's nuts.

00:29:52.960 And you've left off, Claire, that in your state, it's illegal for a pregnant woman to 0.99

00:29:57.800 get an abortion. 0.67

00:29:58.660 So they've also gone after no-fault divorce.

00:30:00.820 So if you're pregnant and you're in a marriage with an abusive spouse, you can't even get

00:30:05.280 a divorce once you become pregnant.

00:30:06.720 You become the property of both your husband and the state. 0.67

00:30:09.680 They have joint ownership of you in the state of Missouri.

00:30:12.320 That is a slave state as far as being a woman is concerned, as far as I'm concerned. 1.00

00:30:15.920 So that's getting some attention because of the dumb comments you made about how Missouri

00:30:19.040 is a slave state. 0.65

00:30:19.880 And that is incredibly stupid, not really worth responding to or engaging with.

00:30:23.980 Joy Reid doesn't even believe the things that she says. 0.84

00:30:27.900 She's very stupid, but she's not actually that stupid.

00:30:31.060 Despite all appearances, she does, we can assume, have an IQ somewhere above 45. 0.97

00:30:35.720 And so she knows that allowing women, or rather not allowing women to kill babies is not slavery.

00:30:41.620 The legalization of the murder of babies is, in and of itself, much more analogous to slavery.

00:30:52.540 And as I've gone through plenty of times in the past, the arguments that people make against

00:30:58.440 abortion bear no relation to the arguments that people made 150 years ago in favor of slavery.

00:31:05.940 On the other hand, that correlation is there the opposite way, in that the arguments that people

00:31:15.260 make in favor of abortion really do mirror, right down the line, the arguments that people

00:31:22.840 made in favor of slavery 150 years ago.

00:31:24.640 And the number one argument is, here's a category of people who are not really people.

00:31:32.140 And so we can treat them differently, because although they might technically sort of qualify

00:31:39.820 as human beings, they're not people.

00:31:42.240 They don't have the same moral rights as people. 0.98

00:31:44.540 So that's the fundamental argument for both slavery and abortion. 0.90

00:31:51.220 Anyway, I think she understands that this is not slavery.

00:31:56.380 And do you know why it's not?

00:31:58.840 Well, there's 10,000 reasons why it's not slavery. 0.74

00:32:01.680 And there isn't just one single reason.

00:32:04.740 But here is one factor worth noting, is that you can leave.

00:32:08.640 If a woman really doesn't like the laws in her state, she can leave. 1.00

00:32:11.880 She doesn't have to live there.

00:32:13.580 Now, granted, if it were up to me, there wouldn't be anywhere in the country a woman could go 1.00

00:32:18.700 to get an abortion legally, because I think it should be legal across the entire country.

00:32:22.660 But the situation right now is that a quote-unquote enslaved woman can simply move away if she's 1.00

00:32:28.240 that distraught.

00:32:29.240 So it's all very stupid.

00:32:30.280 But I want to note what Claire McCaskill says at the beginning of the clip.

00:32:33.500 She laments the fact that Planned Parenthood isn't getting funding in the state anymore to

00:32:38.700 give up birth control.

00:32:39.520 And that is very foolish, she says, because they were preventing abortions, she says.

00:32:46.160 Well, if you really think that Planned Parenthood was ever in the business of trying to prevent

00:32:49.840 abortions, then you must also think that Apple designs its new iPhones to be as durable as

00:32:56.740 possible in order to prevent you from having to buy a new iPhone.

00:33:00.040 But I think we all understand that it's the opposite.

00:33:04.920 Like, the main purpose of the iPhone, as far as Apple is concerned, is to cause you to buy

00:33:09.600 another iPhone.

00:33:11.860 They are in the iPhone business, and so they want you to keep buying them, and that is the

00:33:15.780 main thing that they want you to do.

00:33:18.420 Planned Parenthood is in the abortion business.

00:33:21.300 That's where they make almost all their income.

00:33:22.800 If you don't count tax funding, almost all their income comes from abortion.

00:33:26.140 They make millions and millions of dollars on abortion.

00:33:29.020 And that means that whatever they're doing, they do it because it ultimately creates more

00:33:33.780 abortion customers down the line.

00:33:35.660 So why do they give out contraception?

00:33:38.180 Well, because they have determined rightly that encouraging and facilitating cheap, meaningless

00:33:42.500 sex between strangers will lead to more abortions ultimately, even if they're using 0.97

00:33:48.380 contraception.

00:33:49.100 The point of the birth control is to get people in the habit of having sex with people that

00:33:54.680 they don't want to have babies with, and also to see sex as the sort of thing that ought 0.75

00:34:01.540 not to lead to babies.

00:34:04.800 And this just guarantees that eventually one day, when the birth control fails, or they have

00:34:11.500 sex one time without it, or whatever, one of these days, the pregnancy will happen, and

00:34:15.760 the abortion is almost guaranteed at this point.

00:34:17.540 So that's why.

00:34:20.320 The Planned Parenthood, they like to give out the birth control, not because they're trying

00:34:24.100 to prevent abortions, but because they are making an investment in the future.

00:34:30.960 They're bringing in customers, and they're giving the birth control, but then there's the

00:34:38.960 upsell down the line to abortion.

00:34:40.940 And so that's what they're trying to establish, customer relations, so that later on they can

00:34:45.800 do the abortion. 0.77

00:34:46.260 And that's because birth control does not prevent abortions at all, as McCaskill claims.

00:34:52.840 Abortion is not a consequence of not having birth control.

00:34:56.160 Abortion is a consequence of the choice people make to get abortions, which itself is a consequence 0.93

00:35:01.000 of their values and attitudes and expectations.

00:35:04.480 And those values, attitudes, expectations have been shaped by institutions like Planned Parenthood

00:35:09.100 for the purpose of ensuring that there are more abortions. 0.96

00:35:11.600 All right, Hillary Clinton tweeted this out yesterday.

00:35:17.580 80 years ago today, thousands of brave Americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of Normandy.

00:35:23.100 This November, all we have to do is vote.

00:35:25.640 People seem to be extremely upset by this tweet.

00:35:31.780 I'm not exactly sure why.

00:35:33.280 I mean, I know why.

00:35:35.200 She's comparing Biden voters to the troops on D-Day, comparing Trump to Hitler.

00:35:40.060 It is very gross and very insane.

00:35:42.120 But I don't really have the energy to be actually mad about this kind of thing anymore,

00:35:46.300 because it's all so empty and so fake.

00:35:51.080 You know, you notice something for all the talk that Trump is going to be the end of democracy,

00:35:56.160 the end of the Constitution, and so on.

00:35:58.300 They never explain how exactly.

00:36:01.720 They never explain how that's going to work.

00:36:04.500 James Carville, who's the 145-year-old political strategist,

00:36:07.500 had the same message yesterday when he was trying to explain on, I think it was some kind of podcast,

00:36:11.180 and he was trying to explain why, although normally he thinks that the media should be unbiased and

00:36:19.060 objective and honest, truthful in their reporting, he thinks an exception should be made this time

00:36:23.660 around, because the most important thing is to keep Trump for getting elected.

00:36:27.620 Listen to this.

00:36:29.360 So this is the basic question.

00:36:32.960 But people say, you know, Trump is going to be the Republican nominee, and we've got to cover it,

00:36:38.800 and Biden's a Democrat nominee.

00:36:40.160 And we cover this.

00:36:42.500 And if there's something bad about Biden, of course, we've got to print it,

00:36:45.360 but if something comes up that is, I don't think it's any good about Trump,

00:36:50.160 but more favorable to him, like the L.A. Honigs and the Farid's, the Coyuz of the world, 0.98

00:36:57.140 you know, that's one way to look at it.

00:36:59.400 We just, we tell the truth and let the people decide.

00:37:02.200 Or, at times when the country is at great peril,

00:37:07.120 or the moral imperative is so great, you don't do that.

00:37:10.500 And so now you have Joe Kahn, the new editor, publisher, whatever he is, New York Times,

00:37:16.400 said, you know, we're just going to cover this down the middle.

00:37:18.400 We're going to cover what it is.

00:37:19.800 I don't think that's the role of the news media at a time when the entire Constitution is in peril.

00:37:27.640 I don't have anything against slanted coverage.

00:37:31.660 I really don't.

00:37:32.900 I think there's a, I would have something against it under other,

00:37:36.680 most other times in American history, but not right now.

00:37:40.740 F*** your objectivity.

00:37:42.920 The real objectivity in this country right now is,

00:37:46.780 we're either going to have a Constitution or we're not.

00:37:49.220 All right, so the news should not be objective, he says,

00:37:52.280 because right now the country is in great peril

00:37:54.100 and it'll be the end of everything if Trump is elected.

00:37:59.320 My first question is, when has that not been the case?

00:38:03.040 That's why I say everything is so fake and empty and just,

00:38:06.040 like, every election that I have been aware of since,

00:38:10.980 for as long as I've been alive,

00:38:13.600 this has been the narrative.

00:38:15.020 I mean, every four years we do this again and again.

00:38:19.720 It's the same pageant every election cycle,

00:38:23.720 that this is the one, this is the last one.

00:38:26.780 If we don't, this is the, it's the end of democracy,

00:38:30.160 great peril.

00:38:33.160 And I don't know, does anyone still buy this after all this time?

00:38:37.120 Like, can you hear this over and over and over again

00:38:40.380 and still buy it?

00:38:42.060 Yeah, sometimes, in fact, I think we, I mean, there, look,

00:38:47.580 there's plenty that the opposition is doing to Trump

00:38:50.560 that would qualify as certainly unprecedented,

00:38:53.320 starting with the criminal trials, the two impeachments.

00:38:58.080 So there's a lot that they've done that is truly unprecedented.

00:39:03.560 There's no question about it.

00:39:04.580 But somehow, I think, I think that we, we, we overstate it to some extent.

00:39:14.200 We overstate, anyway, how, how different their response to Trump is.

00:39:21.060 Even, even again, while I acknowledge that they're doing a lot

00:39:23.360 that has never been done before in history.

00:39:24.760 But my only point is that it can, it can be easy to forget that, uh, you know,

00:39:30.780 back in the Bush years, that although the impeachments and the criminal trials

00:39:35.020 weren't there, the, the level of panic was very similar.

00:39:39.300 We heard, we heard a lot of the same things.

00:39:43.100 We heard a lot of those same things about like Mitt Romney, the most,

00:39:46.360 just the most milquetoast human being who's ever lived, probably.

00:39:52.540 We heard a lot of this same kind of stuff.

00:39:56.480 Um, so they, and the only point of bringing that up is just to,

00:40:01.580 is just to show again how empty and fake it is.

00:40:05.060 That this is what, and, and here, when, next election cycle,

00:40:09.480 assuming that it's not Trump, uh, running again,

00:40:12.840 if he does not win the presidency, and then, you know,

00:40:17.160 assuming it's not Trump running again, assuming it's somebody else in 2028.

00:40:21.680 You think they're going to, you think they're going to dial it back?

00:40:25.100 You think they're going to say, all right, well, it's not Trump this time.

00:40:27.580 So, hey, we want to win, but look, it's not going to be the end of democracy.

00:40:31.360 Trump was a unique figure, but, uh, this new guy, whoever it is,

00:40:35.580 yeah, we, it, we prefer for him not to win, but, but look, we're not in,

00:40:39.140 the country's not in great peril.

00:40:40.420 You think they're going to say that?

00:40:41.160 Of course they're not going to.

00:40:42.260 Of course they're not.

00:40:43.820 This is what they say.

00:40:44.660 They say that, uh, we won't have a constitution.

00:40:47.700 Of course, what Carville is neglecting to mention is that we already,

00:40:50.260 we already don't have a constitution.

00:40:52.640 The constitution is dead.

00:40:55.180 It's deader than rotting roadkill on the side of the road at this point.

00:40:58.300 That's why Biden has completely ignored it through his whole tenure.

00:41:01.520 Presidents have been ignoring it for decades.

00:41:03.380 The constitution didn't factor in at all during COVID.

00:41:06.820 Uh, it, it, you know, basically like it didn't exist.

00:41:09.820 So it is already effectively dead, sad to say, but Trump isn't going to come in and be the

00:41:16.400 death of whatever is left of the constitution, the death of the country itself, the death

00:41:19.760 of democracy.

00:41:20.180 That's the claim we've heard a million times, but again, whether it's coming from Hillary

00:41:24.000 or James Carville or any of these people, what they never do is they never explain how quick,

00:41:30.300 because nobody ever asks that follow-up question.

00:41:32.280 It's a basic follow-up question.

00:41:34.760 And if you took the claim seriously, you would ask that question.

00:41:38.040 When you've got these pundits on these cable news shows saying Trump's going to end democracy.

00:41:41.820 You know, if you're the host of the show and you think that that is sincere and you don't

00:41:48.280 see that this all is just a pageant, if you take it seriously, then the obvious follow-up

00:41:53.140 question is, oh my gosh, how is he going to do that?

00:41:56.600 Like, tell me more.

00:41:58.540 Oh, oh my goodness.

00:41:59.820 Tell me, how is he going to do it?

00:42:02.080 What do you foresee in your crystal ball of what, what, what exactly is Trump going to

00:42:06.500 do to end democracy in the constitution and bring about a dictatorship?

00:42:13.120 They're never asked that question because they don't have an answer to it.

00:42:18.180 They can't answer it.

00:42:22.260 They know that it's not going to happen.

00:42:25.180 And again, it's all just so fake.

00:42:28.200 It's fake.

00:42:28.600 Everything's fake.

00:42:29.700 Now, there are some unmistakable signs that summer is quickly creeping in.

00:42:32.720 Grills are firing up.

00:42:33.760 The cicadas around my house are finally quieting down.

00:42:36.500 Of course, we've got season finales on the horizon.

00:42:39.080 This Sunday, we're bringing you the grand finale of The Daily Wire's first ever animated

00:42:43.080 sitcom, Mr. Bertram, exclusively on Daily Wire Plus, created by the one and only Adam

00:42:47.140 Carolla.

00:42:47.420 This show features an impressive lineup of talent, including Megan Kelly, Roseanne Barr, 0.85

00:42:50.800 Jay Moore, Tyler Fisher, Danny Trejo, our very own Brett Cooper, and many more.

00:42:55.620 We've been keeping the best for last, and let me tell you that we're pulling out all the

00:42:59.840 stops for this final episode.

00:43:01.160 You won't want to miss it, and you'll only catch it right here on The Daily Wire.

00:43:05.100 So here's a game plan.

00:43:05.940 If you haven't already started tuning in, spend the first part of your weekend binge

00:43:09.220 watching the series now on Daily Wire Plus.

00:43:10.940 Then come Sunday, sit back, relax, and enjoy the thrilling conclusion of season one.

00:43:15.980 Don't let this opportunity pass you by.

00:43:17.440 Join us exclusively on Daily Wire Plus for the unforgettable season finale of Mr. Bertram,

00:43:22.100 The Daily Wire's first ever animated sitcom.

00:43:24.540 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:43:25.720 I'll begin the show by talking about how the media and the government tried to gaslight

00:43:35.520 us into believing that the Covenant school shooting had nothing to do with transgenderism,

00:43:38.880 that social distancing worked, the vaccines were safe and effective, etc.

00:43:42.600 As serious as all of those frauds are, there's an even larger scam that's going on.

00:43:47.820 One of the biggest brainwashing efforts, one of the biggest PSYOP campaigns of all, is the

00:43:53.540 campaign to convince us that morbid obesity is healthy and beautiful.

00:43:56.920 We've seen this all over the place, including Dove's disturbing new ad campaign featuring

00:44:00.760 an obese social justice activist, as well as Gillette's creepy demand that we love our 1.00

00:44:05.280 skin, Victoria's Secret, so-called body positive fashion shows, etc., etc., etc.

00:44:09.740 All of these campaigns, among many others, are a disingenuous effort to convince Americans

00:44:14.540 that being fat and unhealthy is, in fact, beautiful and wonderful and great.

00:44:18.660 We're expected to suspend our senses and affirm yet another thing that is obviously not true.

00:44:23.400 But amid this intense bombardment of pro-obesity propaganda, what just happened at the National

00:44:29.640 American Miss Pageant manages to stand out. 0.77

00:44:32.900 This is an event that, according to its website, aims to foster positive self-image by enhancing

00:44:37.580 the natural beauty within.

00:44:39.760 Now, it's distinct from the better-known Miss America Pageant.

00:44:42.200 Normally, it doesn't get that much attention.

00:44:44.400 It's getting attention this year, though, because the National American Miss Pageant just named

00:44:48.520 a morbidly obese 23-year-old woman named Sarah Milliken as their Miss Alabama. 1.00

00:44:54.040 And she'll go on to compete at the national level later this year. 0.98

00:44:57.000 Watch.

00:44:58.420 A woman from Atmore is living her dream, representing the state of Alabama in the National American Miss

00:45:05.480 Program, WKRG News 5's Summer Pool introduces us to this inspiring young woman.

00:45:15.100 A crowning achievement, eight years in the making.

00:45:18.300 Sarah Milliken of Atmore has competed in the National American Miss Program since she was 15.

00:45:23.420 I competed once as a junior teen when I was 15, again as a teen when I was 16, and not placing

00:45:29.160 that was really, really hard.

00:45:30.540 Now at 23, the famous saying rings true, third time's a charm.

00:45:34.200 And just being able to come back eight years later and say, okay, I didn't give up on this

00:45:38.840 dream, and now because I didn't give up on it, I get to be the next Miss Alabama and wear this

00:45:43.480 crown for a year.

00:45:45.220 Now, there's at least some cause for relief here, because as far as we can tell, Sarah

00:45:48.940 Milliken is indeed an actual woman. 0.53

00:45:50.840 So, you know, that in some ways is an improvement.

00:45:56.080 That's a point in her favor, because you can't take that for granted these days.

00:45:59.800 And that's how low the bar is these days with these pageants. 1.00

00:46:03.020 Unfortunately, just about everything else about this display is disturbing.

00:46:07.400 To be clear, as far as I can tell, the National American Miss pageant is ostensibly supposed

00:46:12.480 to celebrate beauty.

00:46:14.600 They do talk about positive self-image and all that, but it does appear that most of the

00:46:18.020 contestants actually put some effort into their appearance and are, you know, basically

00:46:23.320 healthy for the most part.

00:46:24.340 Here's a look at Milliken's competitors, just to give you some idea.

00:46:27.900 And, you know, for the most part, a traditional beauty pageant sort of look, with one and a

00:46:36.920 half notable exceptions.

00:46:38.360 And as you can see, they're not all obese.

00:46:40.820 They look healthy for the most part.

00:46:42.220 So, how exactly did Milliken squash the competition?

00:46:45.460 How did she win?

00:46:46.260 From that interview, it sounds a bit like she just sort of wore down the judges.

00:46:49.520 She kept coming back year after year, presumably getting larger and larger each time.

00:46:52.780 And then maybe the judges decided to put an end to it before things just got completely

00:46:56.000 out of hand.

00:46:57.020 Quote, because I didn't give up on it.

00:46:58.500 I get to be the next Miss Alabama, she says.

00:47:00.900 Now, normally when people say something like that, they're referring to all the hard work

00:47:04.460 that they did in the interim.

00:47:05.740 They're implying that they endured some form of personal sacrifice and prove themselves

00:47:09.460 before ultimately winning the prize.

00:47:13.280 But that's not the case here.

00:47:14.440 This woman just kept throwing herself at this competition until, you know, she tipped the 1.00

00:47:18.760 scales in her favor somehow.

00:47:19.920 Now, to be fair, as the interview went on, Milliken did attempt to provide some clarity

00:47:25.100 as to what exactly she was doing for the eight years that she was trying to win this competition.

00:47:29.880 Watch.

00:47:31.280 I hope that they learned that no matter what your body looks like, no matter where you

00:47:34.980 come from, you can do anything that you set your mind to.

00:47:38.080 No, I didn't think that it was possible for a plus-size girl to win. 1.00

00:47:41.420 I didn't think it was possible for a girl from small-town Alabama to win. 1.00

00:47:44.980 Getting that win took a lot of hard work.

00:47:47.220 I worked literally every single day for 365 days.

00:47:51.300 There wasn't a day that I wasn't practicing my on-stage speech or my introduction interview.

00:47:57.360 So she was working every day for 365 days on her speech and interview prep.

00:48:03.280 Now, left unstated is that she was also overeating, dangerously so, the entire time. 0.95

00:48:08.840 And it's strange that she doesn't mention that.

00:48:10.460 After all, it's a big part of this interview, her whole story.

00:48:13.140 She's presenting herself as a success story because she won despite being obese. 1.00

00:48:18.040 So why isn't she proud of the fact that she's obese? 1.00

00:48:19.680 Why isn't she telling us exactly how much you have to eat in order to get her figure? 1.00

00:48:23.560 If it's not shameful and dangerous to be critically obese, then why shy away from talking about it?

00:48:28.380 Now, at one point in that clip, you heard this woman utter the cliche, 0.96

00:48:32.060 you can do anything you set your mind to.

00:48:33.580 And it's supposed to be an uplifting message amid all of the online hate that she's receiving.

00:48:37.540 But it's not really.

00:48:39.580 I mean, yes, the people referring to this pageant, as I've seen online, as a cattle auction or calling this woman,

00:48:45.800 miss all 50 states in one.

00:48:47.680 It's another quote that I saw online.

00:48:49.480 These people are being crass.

00:48:50.720 But there's also an important point here, which is that this woman is setting herself up for a very early death.

00:48:57.920 And no one encouraging her to pursue that actually has her best interests at heart.

00:49:05.220 If you actually care about this woman, then you would not encourage her to kill herself.

00:49:11.460 And eating that much is a slow motion suicide.

00:49:15.600 Like you are, we all know, you are looking like that.

00:49:19.380 You are not going to live to the age of 75.

00:49:21.200 It doesn't mean you won't live to the age of 75, but you, so you can either choose to cut the weight

00:49:27.380 and then you can live a long and healthy life or not.

00:49:30.900 And you won't.

00:49:32.600 Consider the fact that many of these body positive influencers drop dead before they even hit middle age.

00:49:37.720 So we've seen this play out several times.

00:49:41.300 Daily Mail just published a roundup on several of them.

00:49:43.720 There was the 33-year-old TikTok star, Waffler69, real name Taylor Lejeune,

00:49:48.920 who had 2 million followers the day before he died of a presumed heart attack.

00:49:52.600 He videotaped himself eating a giant fruit loop in milk.

00:49:56.680 According to the Daily Mail, Taylor Lejeune didn't flaunt his weight,

00:49:59.360 but there were many other dead influencers who did.

00:50:01.600 For example, here's Professor of Fat Studies Dr. Kat Paws, 1.00

00:50:06.420 who I assume that's not her real name, but she died at 42.

00:50:09.960 And according to Dr. Kat Paws, quote,

00:50:12.160 the science isn't quite clear as, it isn't quite as clear cut as we'd like to believe.

00:50:16.140 There's not really quite a consensus yet about the relationship between weight and health.

00:50:21.820 Obese people, and even morbidly obese people,

00:50:24.040 have just as good health or better health than someone in the normal weight range.

00:50:29.580 And that is obviously insane, tragically insane, because it claimed her own life.

00:50:33.840 But you have to understand that this is something that people are accepting as true.

00:50:37.500 This has become a popular myth among many people.

00:50:43.500 That being massively overweight doesn't necessarily mean you're unhealthy.

00:50:46.620 There's also 37-year-old Jamie Lopez,

00:50:48.800 who founded a salon for plus-size women and push body positivity. 1.00

00:50:52.360 Her show was called Super-Sized Salon. 0.99

00:50:54.340 It lasted just one season before she died.

00:50:56.820 According to the Federalist, she weighed more than 800 pounds at one point

00:50:59.900 and came up with the idea for her company while confined to her bed.

00:51:03.360 At her heaviest, Lopez weighed 846 pounds and designed her company while, again, confined to a bed. 0.68

00:51:10.180 This is the consequence of this body positivity agenda.

00:51:14.160 And the truth is that obesity cannot be beautiful for the same reason that cancerous tumors can't be beautiful,

00:51:20.740 because it is toxic.

00:51:21.920 It is destructive to the human person.

00:51:23.700 Seeing beauty and self-destruction is inherently disordered.

00:51:31.320 They know they can't actually convince anyone or hardly anyone to buy into the fat is beautiful lie,

00:51:38.340 so instead they try to manipulate us into pretending that we buy into it

00:51:41.600 with news reports and beauty pageants and body positivity campaigns that insult our intelligence. 0.89

00:51:47.640 That's the real reason they're parading this hapless, poor woman around. 1.00

00:51:52.480 It's why the National American Miss Pageant, 0.99

00:51:56.040 everyone else who pretends that heart disease and an early death are beautiful,

00:52:00.440 are today canceled.

00:52:02.960 That'll do it for the show today and this weekend.

00:52:04.860 Talk to you on Tuesday.
