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
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
00:00:31.680

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
00:03:17.220
and shower him with taxpayer money. Then she apparently lied about it in court. She also
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.
00:04:40.160
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.
00:05:44.560
And somehow the most inept people imaginable are running things in Georgia.
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.
00:06:26.660
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.
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.
00:06:51.220
And it was all recorded on the officer's body camera.
00:06:57.120
It's just like that nigga running on the feet, man!
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
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
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
00:08:47.480
welfare recipient or something when you found out that this is the kind of person who becomes a
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
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
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
00:11:04.880
anything she demanded that this woman show up and when the woman showed up christina peterson told her
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
00:11:36.400
child care services or anything she just went straight to jail now anyway that the ethics panel
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
00:11:58.300
crime summarily found the petitioner guilty and sentenced her and then lied about her actions and her
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
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
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
00:13:28.780
it is for useless and corrupt halfwits to infest local governments which matters for the rest of the
00:13:34.940
country as outlined earlier and incidents like this are not confined to georgia a couple years ago in
00:13:40.800
ohio a judge named tracy hunter had to be dragged out of court after her conviction on corruption charges was
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
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
00:14:34.080
judge ever to serve on hamilton county's juvenile court so she broke two glass ceilings at once
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
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
00:16:06.360
that's about enough of that um yeah and he did he showed us
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
00:16:36.040
thought we always thought the guy was a loser and uh turns out he is now watching that you can
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
00:17:03.320
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
00:18:39.100
possible that worked to an extent with jamal bowman now there's a lot more imbeciles who
00:18:43.760
need to meet the same fate now let's get to our five headlines

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
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
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
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
00:24:29.460
get a job in the wnba be bringing home some money bringing home uh you know twenty thousand dollars a
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
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
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
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
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
00:28:55.940
the lasso makes you tell the truth what so she doesn't actually use the lasso to physically hurt anyone
00:29:04.680
she just lassos them and then they have to tell her something that's true that is the gayest thing
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
00:31:39.100
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
00:36:20.720
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
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
00:37:47.020
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
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
00:39:07.200
that alone is a blaring deafening alarm signaling that she probably had a terrible home life
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
