The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1396 - A System Run By Illiterate Imbeciles

00:00:00.000 Today, the Matt Wall Show, a judge in Atlanta was just arrested and removed from the bench

00:00:03.500 after getting into a fight at a nightclub and assaulting a police officer. Again,

00:00:07.120 this woman works as a judge, not a waitress at a Waffle House, but she's just a symptom of a 1.00

00:00:12.320 much larger problem we'll discuss. Also offer my preview of tonight's presidential debate.

00:00:16.560 Climate protesters attempt a very unique and unintentionally hilarious method of stopping

00:00:20.580 traffic. And a guy on Twitter is roundly mocked and ridiculed after offering some unorthodox

00:00:25.120 life advice to young men. As usual, the peanut gallery is completely wrong. We'll talk about 1.00

00:00:29.760 all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:17.440 One of the benefits of our whole federal system, at least in theory, is that it provides some

00:02:22.300 insulation from bad government. If your state is being run to the ground by incompetent

00:02:26.420 politicians, then you can just move to another state. And if a local politician is doing a

00:02:31.060 terrible job, then at least he's not wrecking the rest of the country too. The damage is contained.

00:02:36.860 That's the idea anyway. And there are about a million reasons why that's just not true anymore.

00:02:41.640 Exhibit A is the series of ongoing and deeply embarrassing disasters that are unfolding at

00:02:46.260 the moment in Atlanta, Georgia and its surrounding metro area. There's no other way to say this because

00:02:51.760 the principles of federalism are no longer really operative. Atlanta's dysfunction poses a direct

00:02:56.960 threat to the entire country. You can't get away from it simply by fleeing the state of Georgia or

00:03:01.800 not living there to begin with because it's like all-encompassing. Now, we're all very familiar with

00:03:06.940 the catastrophe that is Fulton County, Georgia's attempt to prosecute Donald Trump on RICO charges.

00:03:12.900 The lead prosecutor, Fannie Willis, saw the trial as an opportunity to promote her boyfriend 0.93

00:03:17.220 and shower him with taxpayer money. Then she apparently lied about it in court. She also 1.00

00:03:22.580 tried to play the sassy woman when she testified about this conflict of interest, which somehow

00:03:26.620 managed to lower public confidence in her office even further. And all of that is pretty well

00:03:31.500 documented. On top of that, just this week, former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler asked why

00:03:37.180 Fulton County officials are reportedly attempting to destroy 2020 election ballots before they can be

00:03:42.080 inspected. This comes after the Georgia Election Board footage reprimand Fulton County and

00:03:46.740 appoint an independent poll monitor for the upcoming election because of irregularities in the way

00:03:51.740 that the county counted ballots in 2020. That decision came after testimony like this, where it emerged that

00:03:58.040 hundreds of thousands of ballot images are apparently missing in Georgia. Watch.

00:04:04.280 Does the investigation confirm that there are missing ballot images?

00:04:08.020 Do you know why 380,761 ballot images from Election Day machine count are not available?

00:04:27.660 We subpoenaed Fulton County for all of their ballot images. We received approximately 518,000 ballot images.

00:04:36.160 From Election Day.

00:04:38.160 Those are for the recount.

00:04:40.160 Those are from the recount. But we have no ballot images for 380,761 ballots from Election Day, correct?

00:04:53.160 What was subpoenaed was the ballot images for the recount because that's what this case was about, not the Election Day.

00:05:01.160 Does Fulton County know why there are not 380,761 ballot images from Election Day?

00:05:14.160 As with the investigators, we have not been apprised of this allegation. This is the first time hearing about it.

00:05:22.700 So all of this dysfunction, again, might be mildly amusing if the impact of all the incompetents were confined to Georgia, but of course it's not.

00:05:33.000 Counting ballots affects national politics. Jailing a presidential candidate affects national politics.

00:05:38.180 So the infestation of incompetent morons in the government of the state of Georgia is unfortunately a concern of everyone living in the country. 1.00

00:05:44.560 And somehow the most inept people imaginable are running things in Georgia. 0.99

00:05:49.980 And it's important to figure out how exactly that happens so that we can stop it from getting even worse, if that's even possible at this point.

00:05:56.880 That brings me to the very curious case of a woman who, until recently, was the highest paid judge in Douglas County, a Democrat by the name of Christina Peterson.

00:06:06.440 Peterson was making somewhere north of $100,000 a year, according to some reports.

00:06:09.780 She became a probate judge in Douglas County, which is right next to Fulton County, back in 2020 after winning a contested primary and running unopposed in a general election.

00:06:19.020 Now, to be clear, Peterson was not handling the most high-stakes cases in Atlanta.

00:06:23.940 She dealt with things like marriage licenses.

00:06:26.660 But even so, you'd hope that a relatively highly paid judge in a metro area like Atlanta would be well-qualified, professional, competent.

00:06:34.160 Peterson, at the very least, you might think that she'd have some capacity to control herself in public. 0.97

00:06:40.880 But last week, it became clear to everyone that Peterson lacks every single one of those characteristics.

00:06:45.940 She apparently got into a fight outside of a nightclub and hit a police officer. 1.00

00:06:51.220 And it was all recorded on the officer's body camera.

00:06:53.620 Watch.

00:06:54.920 No! No! No!

00:06:57.120 It's just like that nigga running on the feet, man! 1.00

00:06:59.720 No! 0.99

00:07:01.440 No! 0.98

00:07:02.240 He can punch me!

00:07:03.240 No! 0.85

00:07:03.700 I don't punch me! 0.81

00:07:06.120 He can punch me!

00:07:33.160 take me where you want to take me i can't take no identification and i don't care you don't need 0.99

00:07:41.660 identification you have locked people up and you you have picked up dead bodies where you don't know

00:07:46.220 who bodies it was but you picked them up take me where you need to take me i'm trying to no take

00:07:51.720 me where you need to take me immediately expeditiously you're preventing me i could

00:07:57.180 give a damn take me where you want to take me now now take me where you want to take 1.00

00:08:02.940 i got it i can walk on my own don't touch me 0.99

00:08:26.400 don't touch me don't touch me i got it i can walk on my own don't touch me

00:08:33.200 that is a judge that is a judge try to imagine arriving here in a time machine from 30 years ago

00:08:41.880 and watching that video you would assume that the woman in the video is like an unemployed 1.00

00:08:47.480 welfare recipient or something when you found out that this is the kind of person who becomes a 0.96

00:08:52.600 judge in the year 2024 you will be shocked and you get back in your time machine you go back to

00:08:58.420 your own time and you do everything in your power to warn the public about the cursed future you're

00:09:03.480 heading into but nobody would believe you they think you're insane the sad reality is that voters

00:09:09.040 in douglas county picked that person as the best one in a competitive primary and then throughout her

00:09:14.540 several years in office nobody decided that she was unqualified in any way now that all finally

00:09:20.280 changed this week when the supreme court of georgia removed christina peterson from the bench but they

00:09:24.820 didn't remove her because she hit a police officer in that body cam footage they removed her because

00:09:28.860 of more than four dozen ethics complaints that in the words of the court demonstrated her flagrant

00:09:34.800 disregard for the law court rules and judicial conduct rules and this is quite a rap sheet we're

00:09:41.080 talking about here the most egregious incident took place in august 2021 i'm going to describe it in some

00:09:46.980 detail because it's actually hard to believe that such a low-level judge would engage in such obvious

00:09:51.040 flagrant misconduct and the fact that this woman did did engage in this conduct and held on to her

00:09:56.220 job for several years after that tells us a lot about how the justice system works in atlanta and nation one

00:10:03.500 so according to the georgia spring court a naturalized u.s citizen who was born in thailand

00:10:08.300 filed a petition to amend her marriage license application she wanted to correct the name she had listed as her 0.99

00:10:14.020 father's name on the form basically five years earlier she had originally listed her uncle's name

00:10:18.040 because her father wasn't involved in her life at the time and now she wanted to fix that because

00:10:21.800 she was quote completing immigration documents for her mother and believed that she would uh she should

00:10:26.500 correct the application so that it would not be inconsistent with her birth certificate to support

00:10:31.040 this application the petitioner attached a copy of her birth certificate which had been translated from

00:10:34.880 thai into english there was even a note on the copy that it was a translation as opposed to an

00:10:39.540 official document now hearing all this you might conclude this is not exactly the court case of the

00:10:43.880 century it's just like normal paperwork stuff it's not interesting it's not important just pretty

00:10:49.640 standard stuff but in response to this filing christina peterson went to war for some reason 1.00

00:10:55.340 she wasn't going to let this marriage license application from five years ago get amended without

00:11:00.220 a fight so she summoned this woman to her court didn't advise her of her right to have a lawyer or 1.00

00:11:04.880 anything she demanded that this woman show up and when the woman showed up christina peterson told her 1.00

00:11:09.660 that the copy of the birth certificate was quote fictitious fraudulent and forged she declared that

00:11:14.980 the petitioner was in blatant disregard for the laws of the state of georgia and sentenced her to the

00:11:19.780 maximum possible punishment uh for contempt of 20 days in jail that's a criminal offense but in the

00:11:27.120 alternative the judge allowed this petitioner the option of serving two days in jail and paying a 500

00:11:31.480 fine that's ultimately what the woman had to do she couldn't alert her children or arrange 1.00

00:11:36.400 child care services or anything she just went straight to jail now anyway that the ethics panel 1.00

00:11:40.640 in georgia looked into this and they concluded that nothing christina peterson did made any sense

00:11:45.900 they said that the judge predetermined that the petitioner committed a criminal contempt

00:11:49.680 quote uh issued the notice of the hearing without informing the petitioner that the criminal contempt

00:11:53.660 matter should be adjudicated ambushed the petitioner at the hearing by alleging that she had committed a 0.80

00:11:58.300 crime summarily found the petitioner guilty and sentenced her and then lied about her actions and her 0.76

00:12:02.460 testimony before the panel now there are a bunch of other violations in addition to this one for

00:12:07.540 instance the panel found that the judge led a wedding party into the court courthouse without

00:12:11.580 ensuring that the party underwent security screening by sheriff's deputies and then she tried to cover it

00:12:15.920 up according to the georgia supreme court she quote falsely testified that after the division commander

00:12:19.960 of the courthouse told her not to take the wedding party into the courthouse the sheriff overrode that

00:12:24.520 directive and granted her permission to enter the courthouse to perform the wedding ceremony there was another 0.86

00:12:29.420 incident in which a sheriff's deputy who was supposed to escort the judge to the courtroom in may of 2021

00:12:33.920 didn't get there on time so the judge pushed the panic button under her desk which is reserved for 0.98

00:12:39.600 emergencies so then police swarmed into her office and she pretended to not understand what the panic

00:12:45.480 button was for and there are dozens of other instances like this they're all comical examples of the

00:12:51.560 most petty corruption and incompetence imaginable seemingly just for the sake of being petty and corrupt

00:12:57.920 it's not even clear how this judge would personally gain from any of these abuses of power even but but we

00:13:04.760 know that even the smallest amount of power can go to a person's head after all you know i once worked for

00:13:09.940 an assistant manager at a pizza restaurant whose 16 an hour management position had turned him into a

00:13:15.260 power mad tyrant that's that's how some people are wired and now the we have a lot of those kinds of

00:13:22.120 people wearing judges robes working in congress etc this whole story tells us something about how easy 0.97

00:13:28.780 it is for useless and corrupt halfwits to infest local governments which matters for the rest of the 0.60

00:13:34.940 country as outlined earlier and incidents like this are not confined to georgia a couple years ago in 0.96

00:13:40.800 ohio a judge named tracy hunter had to be dragged out of court after her conviction on corruption charges was 0.74

00:13:47.000 upheld uh here it is watch

00:13:48.980 after a judge sentenced another judge to jail time chaos erupted in an ohio courtroom and taking the

00:14:03.000 defendant into custody wasn't so easy as a court officer had to drag her out

00:14:08.400 former cincinnati judge tracy hunter was sentenced to six months in jail back in 2014

00:14:16.200 but she's been appealing the ruling ever since she was convicted of misusing her position as a judge 1.00

00:14:22.920 to help her brother who was facing an employment dispute over his job in the county

00:14:27.920 but tracy hunter was another elected judge in fact she was the first woman judge and the first black 0.51

00:14:34.080 judge ever to serve on hamilton county's juvenile court so she broke two glass ceilings at once 1.00

00:14:39.480 only to end up like this but don't get too sentimental because there's a lot more where that came from

00:14:45.280 in fact just this week there was another unceremonious fall for yet another path-breaking black civil servant 0.97

00:14:50.720 talking of course about jamal bowman who famously pretended not to understand how fire alarms work

00:14:55.840 and the other woman it was the panic button so there seems to be some sort of

00:15:00.380 i don't know something going on here uh and uh but he did that of course so that he could delay a house

00:15:04.860 vote bowman just lost his primary as you might have heard according to alexandra queza cortez who

00:15:10.340 wrote a teary-eyed tweet to mark the occasion bowman was quote elected as the first black congressman

00:15:16.140 for new york 16 now it's not true as it turns out new york 16th congressional district has had several

00:15:22.780 other black representatives in its history so she's just lying about that for no reason but more to the

00:15:28.920 point this was how just just to review again so we can watch this video again this was how bowman and

00:15:33.960 aoc tried to turn out the vote at a rally just before bowman's election defeat this was a rally

00:15:40.020 that wasn't even in his district by the way i didn't mention that the first time we played this video

00:15:43.260 but uh let's watch it again here it is

00:15:46.360 let's go

00:16:06.360 that's about enough of that um yeah and he did he showed us 0.96

00:16:31.320 who he is he is a loser that's what he that's what he showed us he proved he proved it we always 0.96

00:16:36.040 thought we always thought the guy was a loser and uh turns out he is now watching that you can 0.99

00:16:40.440 understand why the school that bowman led for a decade is doing about as well as lebron james's

00:16:45.380 school is doing they have reading and math proficiency scores hovering below 30 percent

00:16:50.020 in any event aoc and bowman are prancing around like they see themselves as superstars

00:16:55.280 and fortunately for them those videos are shot at a pretty close angle but if you take a few steps back

00:17:00.320 this is what the rally actually looked like

00:17:03.320 yeah it's uh so you could see that you could see the barriers all the way in the back so

00:17:30.300 you know this they were anticipating a crowd about 10 times that size but no one's even there it's

00:17:39.320 a completely dead rally and indeed the reason that no one was there is that jamal bowman is very

00:17:44.680 unpopular but somehow instead of making any effort to win over voters both bowman and aoc decided that the

00:17:50.480 best course of action was to run around on stage and scream and dance to rap music at the local level

00:17:56.560 all over the country we are ruled by people like this these are people who make a mockery out of

00:18:02.780 the political system the judicial system even while pretending to cherish our system of government so

00:18:08.140 deeply they make a mockery out of it they have no regard for any of it they don't even realize how

00:18:13.240 absurd they look to everyone else because they're not capable of shame and yet somehow at one point or

00:18:19.160 another all of these people that i mentioned managed to win competitive elections and they've

00:18:24.560 parlayed those wins in some cases into national influence that's why fleeing their jurisdictions

00:18:30.740 isn't enough anymore it's not even possible because these people are everywhere

00:18:33.880 which means that we must mock them at every opportunity and point out their corruption whenever 0.99

00:18:39.100 possible that worked to an extent with jamal bowman now there's a lot more imbeciles who 0.99

00:18:43.760 need to meet the same fate now let's get to our five headlines 0.99

00:19:48.380 may have already heard everything that can be said about this thing before it happens has already

00:19:54.020 been said i don't i don't you know i don't have any predictions to offer for it um instead i'll

00:20:00.440 if i were to break it down i break it down this way i'll tell you what a pessimist might expect

00:20:06.280 from this debate and then what an optimist might expect and i mean pessimist and optimist from the

00:20:11.780 perspective of somebody on the right so let's start with the optimistic view optimistic uh uh hope is

00:20:19.860 that you know there will be a total trouncing by donald trump we know that joe biden is a decaying husk

00:20:27.460 of meat mentally speaking he is basically roadkill at this point i drove by a decomposing raccoon on the

00:20:34.400 way to work today and that raccoon is more cognizant than joe biden we might as well just

00:20:40.460 make the dead raccoon president and we know all that it's undeniable and so the optimistic view is

00:20:46.420 that trump will will you know take it to him uh get him against the ropes and and biden will completely

00:20:52.000 melt down on stage he'll stutter and you know babble and stare blankly and yell and mumble you know

00:21:00.360 like he does and then his pants and fall asleep and and and that's what will happen and that's how

00:21:06.740 an optimist might expect this to go however there is the the pessimist view on the other side

00:21:13.320 and the pessimist view is not that biden will trounce trump like that's just not going to happen

00:21:19.640 i mean we can't it's not impossible nothing is impossible anything is possible biden you know i mean

00:21:25.180 he could sprout wings and fly around the the the auditorium i mean that's possible fly around like

00:21:31.780 some kind of a winged demon like a gargoyle come to life actually that happening that is significantly

00:21:38.500 more likely i'd give that that's like a 10 likelihood uh it's more likely than than him actually winning the

00:21:47.140 debate um so i think trump outright losing it is uh it's a very unlikely scenario the more plausible

00:21:57.600 pessimistic scenario is a boring uneventful basically even keeled debate where biden for the most part

00:22:07.860 keeps it together and trump is fine but not terribly impressive and no major blows are landed on either end

00:22:14.880 and the thing just ends and we're all bored you know that's really the worst case scenario and i don't

00:22:20.260 just call it worst case because you know we're doing a backstage episode and i have to watch the

00:22:26.600 whole thing and talk about it so that if it's boring it's just like it's it's it's personally very bad for

00:22:32.640 me from an entertainment perspective if that were to happen but i don't mean that that's not why it's the

00:22:37.640 worst case it's the worst case because if that happens then it's kind of a tie right and a tie

00:22:44.860 means that biden wins okay that that's the way it goes and the reason for that is that expectations

00:22:53.540 are much lower for biden because he is a potted plant so if he can simply hang in there and not

00:23:01.900 poop himself or go catatonic then he wins you know this is the risk of debating somebody like biden

00:23:10.100 the expectations are so low that if he just is coherent for two hours that's it if he can simply

00:23:18.580 be coherent if he can if he can only say things that mean things like if everything he says

00:23:24.960 means something if everything he says is intelligible then he wins um because the because

00:23:32.780 the the expectations are so low it's you know it's like um it's like when i played horse against

00:23:40.160 my 11 year old daughter a few days ago now yes the advantage was very much on my side but the risk is

00:23:47.300 that given the mismatch if i don't win in a total shutout then i've essentially lost and as it happens

00:23:55.480 for the record i did win but she did manage to put a letter on me i got i did get an h because the kid

00:24:02.200 has a great jump shot she usually we go out and play in the driveway all the time she usually doesn't 1.00

00:24:07.420 want to play and then she comes out out of nowhere and says oh daddy i want to play horse and she starts 0.67

00:24:13.260 nailing these shots from like what's happened what are you going out at night and practicing what's

00:24:18.160 happening right now anyway so i did miss one shot and it's a it's a she could probably be a starter in 1.00

00:24:23.300 the wnba already i mean um so that's the that's the positive i mean you know she could go out and 1.00

00:24:29.460 get a job in the wnba be bringing home some money bringing home uh you know twenty thousand dollars a 1.00

00:24:34.720 year to the family it could be a big help anyway so uh but that's the situation that trump is in

00:24:39.560 he's he's basically the the trump is essentially playing one-on-one basketball against an 11 year old

00:24:46.940 girl uh and so what that means is he has to win decisively or he loses if biden can just come across

00:24:56.120 as competent and with it and conscious then uh he wins and the pessimistic view is that he'll pull it

00:25:04.260 off because he'll be they'll have the hubman on enough drugs and he's got enough practice that and

00:25:09.800 he's only got to do it two hours and they've already rigged the thing enough that you know he can't

00:25:14.900 get cut off trump can't talk over him they can't even really engage with each other they only have

00:25:19.700 a they only have a minute to talk and all that kind of stuff and so um so you you could see a

00:25:28.040 scenario where this thing is a tie which means it's a win for biden now there's a spectrum here of course

00:25:33.200 it probably won't end up being the absolute best case or worst case scenario for trump if i had to

00:25:40.040 predict i would predict that it'll be closer to the optimistic view than the pessimistic um even if

00:25:45.420 biden doesn't completely fall apart it will be obvious that he is operating without a full deck of cards

00:25:50.120 he's got like three cards left in the deck and one of them's a joker so it's really only two

00:25:55.260 two cards kind of thing um but there is a real risk here and uh and and that is it you know if

00:26:04.060 you're gonna i understand you you got a chance to take a shot at a guy who's decomposing in front of

00:26:11.500 all of us yeah you want to take it but you you gotta land you gotta land a blow you just have to

00:26:17.520 um so we'll see what happens tune in tonight all right i want to show you this uh i don't know

00:26:29.220 the full context the account end wokeness reposted it it appears to be some kind of protest probably

00:26:34.840 a climate protest i would assume on a highway as usual and they're they're trying to block the road

00:26:41.820 as they so often do but their methods are a bit dubious so let's first just watch the video here

00:26:59.220 okay so they try to block the road with a rope there's a there's a uh a car coming down the highway

00:27:17.420 at a high rate of speed and their plan is to use a rope that they're holding on to to try to stop

00:27:25.140 the car and then i want to i want to if we could take a look at this freeze frame okay i just want

00:27:31.920 to can we so the image isn't exactly clear but is she appears to be holding the rope while this jeep

00:27:43.020 is driving away and she's trying to with with just on her own she's trying to stop stop the jeep she 0.99

00:27:51.120 lassoed a jeep on the highway and she's holding on with all her might trying to stop what did she

00:27:56.060 think was she thought she would stop the jeep from maybe she thought that she could whip it back 1.00

00:28:01.140 around you know and and send it flying in the other direction this is look a lot of people look at this

00:28:08.620 and they say well this is the hazard of the climate alarmist you know uh when you have people that are

00:28:12.280 climate alarmists and and um it drives them insane and you know it is that but this is also the hazard

00:28:21.220 of all and i warn about it all the time this is one of the reasons why i'm not a big fan of all the

00:28:25.880 female-led action movies and all the female superheroes because i think women are watching those movies and 1.00

00:28:34.140 they're getting some they're getting the wrong idea about they're hearing all this propaganda about

00:28:38.780 girl power and women can do anything they want women are so strong and and now this woman she 1.00

00:28:45.100 thinks that she's actually wonder woman doesn't wonder woman has a has a lasso right is it like an

00:28:49.960 invisible lasso or is it or no her jet is invisible but the lasso doesn't you have a lasso i think 0.88

00:28:55.940 the lasso makes you tell the truth what so she doesn't actually use the lasso to physically hurt anyone 1.00

00:29:04.680 she just lassos them and then they have to tell her something that's true that is the gayest thing 1.00

00:29:10.180 of all that's the gayest superpower you could possibly get a lot the last is that really called the lasso 0.99

00:29:15.860 of truth so she's riding around in an invisible jet which what exactly is the what's the practical

00:29:25.560 application of that number one and she has and she has a lasso like why do you have a jet and a rope 1.00

00:29:32.540 my god okay so maybe she thought that this would this was the lasso of truth truth uh around that jeep

00:29:42.240 and the truth is that when you do that you're going to face plant directly into the pavement which is

00:29:48.100 exactly what happened to her and looked like she was uh she was injured there um hopefully she's okay

00:29:54.720 because we wouldn't want to see anyone get hurt doing that i would never take immense enjoyment out of

00:30:01.900 watching climate alarmists get hurt while they're trying to block traffic i would never i'll put it

00:30:07.720 this way i would never say uh i would never say that i take enjoyment out of watching these people

00:30:14.180 get hurt i would never say that i would never say that it's really really fun to watch that i wouldn't

00:30:19.560 say that i just wouldn't say it all right um let's see lasso of truth my god can't even get over that 0.76

00:30:30.540 and people watch that stupid movie i don't believe that anyone i think the last wonder woman didn't do 0.76

00:30:36.800 very well in the box office from what i understand but the first one i remember when the first one i 0.99

00:30:43.980 never watched it you know i didn't watch it because i'm not a 12 year old girl and i'm not a gay man

00:30:49.540 like those are the two options that would excuse you going to watch a wonder woman movie but i remember

00:30:57.420 when the first one came out you had all these grown men who did not appear to be a 12 year old girls and

00:31:03.420 also did not appear to be uh homosexual and yet going around saying well it's a who's actually pretty 0.57

00:31:09.880 good movie yeah i remember i i talked to what i thought was a friend of mine and not no longer

00:31:17.040 obviously but eddie this is that's what he told me he told me he went to go see wonder woman in theaters

00:31:23.540 and he said it's actually pretty good you'd be surprised by how good no i wouldn't be surprised

00:31:29.680 but it's it's awful it's i know for a feel like there's there is a zero percent chance that a movie

00:31:36.120 with that character can be good

00:31:39.100 all right and i don't even know how bad it was i just learned npr has this america's top doctor

00:31:49.360 issued a first of its kind advisory on tuesday declaring gun violence a national public health

00:31:54.160 crisis and recommending it be treated as such the 40 page publication from u.s surgeon general vivek

00:32:00.460 murthy outlines the scope of firearm violence its impact on victims and communities and a slew of

00:32:06.240 policy jet suggestions for lawmakers community leaders and health systems a public health approach

00:32:12.360 murthy said in the report can guide the nation's strategy and actions as it has done in the past with

00:32:17.520 successful efforts to address tobacco related disease and motor vehicle crashes

00:32:21.520 he added it's up to us to take on this generational challenge with the urgency and clarity the moment

00:32:27.620 demands the safety and well-being of our children and future uh are at stake okay so they're going to

00:32:34.520 declare it a public health emergency this is obviously terrible uh at best at best it's a totally

00:32:40.900 meaningless political stunt and again we have the optimist and pessimist dichotomy

00:32:45.600 the optimistic view is that it's merely arbitrary and toothless and pointless to make some kind of

00:32:51.660 declaration about gun violence being a public health issue nobody's going to be convinced to refrain from

00:32:57.740 gun violence because of this there is not going to be a single gang member on a on a single street

00:33:03.320 corner in a single city who's who's like just about to shoot a rival gang member and then stops and

00:33:10.000 says you know what u.s surgeon general vivek murthy is right shooting this person would be really bad for

00:33:15.360 their health so i'm not going to do it that's not going to happen um so the whole thing is futile

00:33:20.800 but as i said that's the optimistic way of looking at this uh the more realistic point of view is is

00:33:26.940 this that there is a reason why the government wants to classify every bad thing as a public health

00:33:33.700 matter because recasting every human foible or evil as a as a medical issue does have a point it's it is

00:33:43.300 actually not pointless it's just that the point isn't to actually save lives or make anybody healthier

00:33:48.040 the point as always is to increase their power and what we know what we've seen all too vividly is that

00:33:53.520 the government can claim for itself essentially unlimited power when it comes to combating uh

00:33:59.240 so-called public health crises now it doesn't have that power constitutionally

00:34:04.440 there's nothing in the constitution that says well if it's a public health emergency

00:34:08.240 do whatever you want all the time forever that's not what the constitution says but

00:34:13.880 it the government has set that precedent for itself so that's the real point they want to

00:34:19.760 take advantage of that precedent recast gun violence in medical terms so that they can then

00:34:25.300 do literally anything they want to uh combat the quote-unquote epidemic which is why it's very

00:34:31.860 important to point out that gun violence is not actually a public health issue you know i am skeptical

00:34:38.480 of the whole category of public health but if the term has any meaning then it has to apply to medical

00:34:44.400 problems diseases right a gun is not a disease yes a gun can cause injury but there are thousands of

00:34:52.880 physical objects in existence that can and do cause injury are they all public health issues

00:34:58.620 well the public health establishment would certainly say yes you know that's the point

00:35:02.720 also and this is important not all gun violence is bad okay it's another way you distinguish this from

00:35:11.160 actual public health like lung cancer is bad all the time that's not a controversial view i don't

00:35:18.520 think so when you hear about lung cancer you don't have to ask oh well is it the good kind or the bad kind

00:35:24.800 because it's always bad now it might vary in terms of uh severity in terms of its lethality

00:35:31.080 and all the rest of it but but there is no good kind of lung cancer um however if you hear that

00:35:38.240 somebody if you just hear that you know so and so fired a gun yesterday well you have no idea whether

00:35:45.680 that whether it was bad or good until you hear why they did it who or what they were shooting at

00:35:51.920 the context is is it entirely determines whether gun violence is good or bad and if somebody's

00:35:59.200 doing it in self-defense if they're doing it you know uh to protect themselves their family

00:36:03.340 and so on then yes it's it's gun it's you're using a gun and it is violence but it's not a it's not

00:36:12.220 a it's not a bad thing so that's yet another reason why we wouldn't call that public health

00:36:16.880 um here's another video i want to show you

00:36:20.720 well i don't want to show you well i do want to show you don't want to see it but but i want to

00:36:27.420 show it to you because as you know i had to watch it and so now you're going to see it too uh

00:36:34.800 and and maybe there's maybe there's a a more positive way of looking at this

00:36:42.100 um i know i can be hard on tiktokers sometimes but every once in a while the tiktok community

00:36:49.440 provides something useful and so here's a viral video of a woman showing us her coping strategies 0.62

00:36:55.180 here's how she copes a lot of people have you know difficult lives and looking for ways to cope with

00:37:01.820 it the ways to deal with it and uh so this and and and this is her way of doing it and it's a

00:37:07.060 strategy you might want to try out yourself uh here it is let's watch

00:37:10.300 i'm here i'm here and i know you're scared i know you don't know what to do

00:37:19.560 but i've got you and i won't leave you and i love you and i'm so sorry that you're scared

00:37:28.060 but it's okay to feel it's safe to feel it's safe to cry it's safe to move through it

00:37:38.400 i mean that that's relatable you know that that was that was basically me at chipotle last night

00:37:45.280 when they said they ran out of guacamole

00:37:47.020 and no warning by the way i went through the whole line there was no sign saying oh we don't

00:37:54.300 have guacamole because then if i had known that i would have gone somewhere else but i went through

00:37:57.420 the whole thing i built the burrito bowl i get to the guacamole station they said we're out of guac

00:38:01.400 how does it even happen you have all the other ingredients but you don't have guac how does that

00:38:06.240 how did you not are people going through the line and asking for a burrito bowl with only

00:38:10.840 guacamole and that's how you end up that's how you end up with this disproportionate situation

00:38:14.300 so in situations like that i think it's okay to react that way but most of the time i would say not

00:38:19.600 and what what is so sad about these videos um i mean what's sad about them like besides literally

00:38:28.520 everything else about them what's sad is that i'm sure i think it's an important point i'm sure that

00:38:36.420 this woman does have serious trauma in her past and i don't say that sarcastically i mean sincerely

00:38:44.600 so we see stuff like this and and we're tempted to go oh what's why is your life so hard yeah

00:38:51.680 look at you complaining right you snowflake gen z-er but this woman this is she has blue hair okay this 1.00

00:39:00.500 is a woman with blue hair and that alone even when we putting aside what she's doing in the video 0.97

00:39:07.200 that alone is a blaring deafening alarm signaling that she probably had a terrible home life 0.82

00:39:13.380 almost certainly comes from a broken home a dad not in the picture we can assume that either her

00:39:19.540 dad is not there or he's a terrible father he's failed utterly uh you know if your daughter if you

00:39:26.320 catch your daughter wearing blue hair and you're you you failed like you as a father that is it that

00:39:30.660 is an f that you got an f grade failure on the report card the moment you see the kid wearing blue

00:39:36.940 hair um unless it's like a halloween costume and they're going they're dressed up as smurfs do smurfs

00:39:42.760 even have blue hair they have blue skin um so that's a good indication that she she has actually 1.00

00:39:52.300 suffered like real trauma in life um and so i'm perfectly willing to believe that this woman has

00:40:01.660 legitimate issues real substantive reasons to be upset the problem is that first of all she's 0.60

00:40:10.920 obviously never received any good counseling nobody's told her how to actually cope with the

00:40:18.460 problems that you face in life and indulging yourself right indulging uh indulging in tears

00:40:28.060 now i i you know how i feel about men crying women i give a lot more latitude women are you know women 0.99

00:40:34.280 are criers they like to cry okay i i can't relate but you know we have to accept that some men and

00:40:40.700 women are not the same fine but um even for a woman you can it's possible to to vastly overindulge in 1.00

00:40:49.760 in uh in tears and especially in feelings of self-pity and this is what she's doing and that is not

00:40:56.760 healthy coping okay if you want to cope with whatever you're dealing with again even if it's

00:41:04.900 something real like you had a terrible childhood and your parents failed you right go go for a walk

00:41:12.380 like go for a hike go get some exercise uh pick up a hobby you know invest yourself and your time and

00:41:21.460 your energy in something other than this rather than dwelling on whatever it is that upsets you

00:41:27.520 go just do something else don't think about it take all that energy and channel it into something

00:41:35.040 rather than just stewing in your own pity to the point where you you start to enjoy the feeling of

00:41:43.920 self-pity but she's obviously hasn't been told that and second rather than experience

00:41:52.000 uh your suffering and work through it privately in a dignified way she is performing her emotions for

00:42:03.880 the camera so that even if she has legitimate reasons to be upset she makes it fake she makes it

00:42:12.160 phony it all becomes performance the the moment that you do it for camera i mean even if

00:42:22.400 if it turned out that she had a death in the family last week and that's what she's upset about

00:42:28.920 well it's perfectly good reason to cry okay it's perfectly a good reason to be to be extremely upset

00:42:33.520 you had a death in the family but the moment you sit down and you pull out your phone

00:42:40.160 and you hit record so that you can display this to the public it all becomes performance it all

00:42:48.740 becomes phony it all becomes fake and i can't take it seriously even if i wanted to and if there are

00:42:55.200 emotions that i that i personally and people generally would otherwise be sympathetic to now we aren't

00:43:00.800 anymore because you're performing it right you're being dishonest

00:43:05.560 and it's it's it's not even the act of just putting down the phone and recording it that's

00:43:13.160 unnatural enough but then you have to stop record you have to go through and do a little bit of

00:43:20.960 editing you have to add captions you have to search for the perfect background music and then you have

00:43:29.560 to post it so there's so much premeditation that goes into it where where anything that was authentic

00:43:36.680 in that expression of emotion is drained out of it so that all we're left with is just performance and so

00:43:44.260 you are it's not everyone else minimizing your emotions you are minimizing them you're minimizing

00:43:50.220 them into nothing you are you are you are sort of objectifying your own emotional states by turning

00:43:57.460 it into a product for people to consume um so that you can you know sort of trade it in for whatever

00:44:05.260 it is you're looking for attention pity whatever it is so that's what makes it so sad along with

00:44:12.020 again just everything else about that video tonight daily wire backstage is going live and we're not just

00:44:17.480 watching another debate we're exposing the political theater for what it is daily wire plus is simulcasting

00:44:22.380 the entire presidential debate but writing something crucial commentary that doesn't insult your

00:44:26.420 intelligence we get live unfiltered analysis from ben shapiro michael knows andrew clavin jeremy

00:44:30.260 bohring and me as we dissect this spectacle in real time look if you want to truly understand what's

00:44:35.300 at stake in this election you need to experience this debate with voices you can trust daily wire

00:44:39.080 backstage live tonight at 8 30 p.m eastern watch at dailywire.com now let's get to our daily cancellation

00:44:46.400 somebody named hickman on twitter went viral this week with his advice to young single men this post

00:44:59.000 got a lot of feedback most of it in the of the sneering and mocking variety here's what he wrote

00:45:04.260 in a tweet that's now been viewed over 7 million times here it is quote here's my advice to single

00:45:10.960 american men who feel hopeless about ever finding a good woman to marry take a job take a month or two

00:45:16.120 between jobs and drive across the usa stop at every gas station truck stop and eat every meal at diners

00:45:21.740 during non-rush hours avoid cities stop primarily in poor rural areas out in the middle of nowhere every

00:45:28.360 time you see a pretty cashier or waitress with a good vibe politely ask her out tell her you're out

00:45:32.760 seeing the country and looking for a place to settle and a good woman to marry repeat until you found 1.00

00:45:36.860 somebody to go study with this worked for at least one young awkward guy i knew at a catholic church

00:45:41.240 in louisiana met his wife at loves on i-80 you know iowa she converted moved to louisiana with with

00:45:48.440 him and they go back to iowa together every christmas fueling up at the truck stop where they met she was

00:45:52.920 giddy to find him as most of the men in her town were either already married or total losers they were

00:45:57.820 both in their early 30s when they met at worst you see the country and go on a few bad days at best

00:46:02.500 you find the love of your life now the peanut gallery did not like this idea very much so here's just a

00:46:09.120 brief sampling of the responses one says hi men in this thread thread absolutely do not hit on women

00:46:16.700 while they're at work this is terrible advice another says this is one unmentioned yet insinuated step

00:46:22.900 from becoming an honest to god serial killer another says travel the country to stop at a gas station

00:46:28.840 and wife some broke mid no thanks another says have you just tried being normal about it and not

00:46:35.360 bothering low-wage service female staff with your issues another says use a dating app for the love 1.00

00:46:41.520 of god stop harassing service workers and another says if you quit your job for a couple months you

00:46:47.300 can have mildly positive social interactions with a four out of ten customer service worker who's

00:46:52.260 obligated to be nice to you all over the country so you get the idea lots of women saying that this is a 1.00

00:46:58.340 creepy and uh idea and only serial killers would do it lots of men saying it's a waste of time and

00:47:03.660 women who work at gas stations aren't hot enough to justify the trip anyway people from both ends of 1.00

00:47:08.540 the spectrum teaming up to cynically scoff at this idea for opposite reasons and not for the first time

00:47:15.340 they're both wrong this is good advice actually and it doesn't just have to apply to finding a wife i think

00:47:23.000 the guy who posted this would probably agree that you could have even broader reasons for embarking

00:47:28.100 on a quest of this sort if you're a young man finding a wife could be just one happy consequence 0.99

00:47:33.720 there could be others you might find your career you might find your passion um i categorically refuse

00:47:39.740 to use the cliche find yourself so instead i'll say that you might find things out about yourself

00:47:46.540 at the very least you'll have a story to tell and and that's worth something that's actually worth a lot

00:47:51.300 more than you may realize i think the reaction to this advice shows again that so many young people

00:47:58.420 and young men especially in this case tragically have lost their sense of adventure so many just have

00:48:05.740 no ambition like no big dreams that they'll go to unreasonable lengths to pursue they aren't hatching

00:48:13.040 any crazy schemes they aren't living with a mission you know they complain that they can't find a wife

00:48:17.900 they can't find a job they can't find success of any kind but they're not willing to do anything big

00:48:22.320 and wild and unorthodox to pursue it that's not the case for all young men it is for too many of them

00:48:28.340 so if you're a young man and you hear this and you say well that doesn't apply to me

00:48:31.800 well then great it doesn't apply to you go go about go go with god you're you're fine

00:48:37.340 but there are plenty of young men that it does apply to and that's what i'm talking about

00:48:42.560 and for those young men it's a shame because as i have preached so many times over the years

00:48:48.260 when you are a young single man you are in a position where you can go anywhere and do anything

00:48:56.620 you have no excuse to just be sitting around depressed you you have you the world is your oyster

00:49:05.020 you can do you have no one depending on you you have very few responsibilities the stakes are very low

00:49:11.260 when you get older it won't be that way okay me as a man at 38 with six kids the stakes are extremely

00:49:18.880 high for any choice i make because if i make the wrong choice i have a family that will suffer

00:49:25.440 greatly as a result and even i'm still willing to take risks calculated risks but as you get older

00:49:34.280 the stakes get higher and higher when it when you're just on your own and you're you're a single

00:49:39.260 able-bodied man no one's depending on you nobody to take care of it you could pack up and move

00:49:45.660 anywhere if you end up living in some crappy apartment or even in your car for a time it's

00:49:50.120 fine you'll survive you're a young man you don't need much so you can put it all on the line go out

00:49:55.440 and chase something if you don't like your situation get up and change it do the things today that if you

00:50:01.680 don't do them you will wish you did okay think about yourself at 60 what will the 60 year old you

00:50:08.400 wish that the 23 year old you had done whatever that is go do it do it now today why not you can't

00:50:17.920 come up with one good reason why you can't you could just go do it at least try so if you feel stuck

00:50:25.040 if you're if you're treading water if you have no job if you hate your job if you uh you know can't

00:50:30.120 find a career that excites you if you can't find a girlfriend if you're just wasting away staring at

00:50:35.000 screens all day then get yourself unstuck go somewhere else do something anything again why

00:50:43.040 not what do you have to lose worst case you end up coming back where you started after a while and

00:50:50.220 you slip right back into the neutered existence you're currently living that's the worst case 0.99

00:50:53.900 but most likely something will change you will change if nothing else and that's that's enough

00:50:59.340 you know in times past uh young men with the spirit of adventure could become pioneers explorers

00:51:08.560 crusaders warriors they could board a ship to some unknown place across an unknown ocean they could

00:51:13.380 become mountaineers fur trappers cowboys every era had had a way to satisfy the restless soul of an

00:51:19.380 adventurous young man now we don't have most of those options anymore so so you could choose to either

00:51:26.820 live a rote and pre-programmed life or you can seek your own adventure now when i was a young man

00:51:34.900 just entering adulthood i was treading water i was living at my parents house i was working different

00:51:40.080 service jobs for barely more than minimum wage hated all the jobs i hated it i didn't know what i

00:51:45.780 wanted out of life i felt like i was going to be a failure i had just no idea what i was completely

00:51:49.620 stuck so uh one day i packed my stuff into a duffel bag i drove to a small town near the coast 100

00:51:56.700 miles away stayed at first in a motel six that was where i lived at first and got a job as the overnight

00:52:02.340 dj on a small rock station now it wasn't exactly an exploratory expedition on a ship in the 18th

00:52:07.060 century i'll give you that but it was a way to completely change my situation strike out on my own

00:52:11.440 take myself wildly outside of my comfort zone chart a new path for myself to do something that like a

00:52:18.580 couple years before i didn't think like why i never thought i'd be doing this of all things

00:52:22.100 18 years later i'm very happy with where my life is now it almost certainly wouldn't have ended up

00:52:28.100 in this place if i had not thrown a curveball at myself back then i remember that first night

00:52:33.680 before my first shift at the station my first night like living on my own and uh i was sitting in

00:52:39.360 my motel room uh listening to the my neighbors next door like having a marital dispute and i'm just

00:52:46.820 wondering what the hell am i doing and why am i doing this i wouldn't really discover the answer

00:52:52.940 to that question for many years but now i know now i'm not suggesting that every young man move out of

00:52:58.200 their parents house to live in a motel and work at a small town radio station there really are no more

00:53:02.520 small town radio stations anyway and nobody's suggesting that every young man should go on a

00:53:06.460 cross-country trek where they ask out cashiers at random gas stations that may not be your adventure so

00:53:12.740 go have your own now is the time there will never be a better time put all of your chips on the table

00:53:18.880 you don't have that many chips anyway so bet it all on something maybe you succeed maybe you fail

00:53:24.240 at your age failure can be even better than success i had a lot of failures between the ages of 18 and 25

00:53:30.420 and i thank god for all of them so go now go somewhere do something

00:53:36.660 or else you are today i'm afraid to say canceled that'll do it for the show today that will do it

00:53:44.600 for me until july 15th actually i'm going on vacation but uh the show is not going anywhere

00:53:49.480 my friend david cohn from crane and company will be filling in for me for the next uh two weeks we've

00:53:55.140 never had a fill-in host before so this is something new please be nice to him unless he comes on air and

00:54:05.760 case please rip him to shreds either way i'll see you on july 15th until then godspeed 0.65
