The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1403 - The Deafening Silence Of Academia And Corporate America After The Trump Assassination Attempt

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, many of the corporations and universities that are usually

00:00:03.460 eager to speak up about current events and condemn violence have said nothing at all

00:00:07.720 about the attempted assassination of the leading presidential candidate.

00:00:11.140 Their silence speaks volumes.

00:00:12.960 Also, California passes a law empowering schools to conceal a child's quote-unquote

00:00:16.820 gender identity from their parents.

00:00:19.160 Joe Biden speaks to the NAACP, and it doesn't go well, of course.

00:00:22.820 Supreme Court term limits could be on the horizon.

00:00:25.160 I'll explain why that's a terrible idea.

00:00:26.780 And the head of the largest teachers union in the country gives a speech equal parts

00:00:30.500 unhinged and meaningless.

00:00:32.120 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:56.780 Saudi Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar deal with the U.S., which has the potential

00:01:05.000 to weaken the U.S. dollar.

00:01:06.160 Since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil solely in U.S. dollars, which was huge for our global

00:01:11.180 economic dominance.

00:01:12.520 Now they want other options.

00:01:13.800 If there's less demand for the U.S. dollar, what happens to its value?

00:01:17.380 It's for reasons like this that I feel it's important to diversify some of your savings

00:01:51.640 That's Walsh to 989898 today.

00:01:55.000 When authorities arrested the man who shot and nearly killed Ronald Reagan in March of

00:01:58.840 1981, he asked them a question.

00:02:01.140 He wanted to know whether the Academy Awards, which were scheduled to take place that same

00:02:05.100 evening, would be delayed.

00:02:06.420 And ultimately, the answer was yes.

00:02:07.660 The Academy Awards were postponed for 24 hours.

00:02:10.500 Gregory Peck said the assassination attempt brought to mind the murders of the Kennedys,

00:02:14.300 John Lennon, and Martin Luther King.

00:02:16.120 The producer of the awards called the shooting a tragedy.

00:02:18.280 Meanwhile, at the NCAA championship basketball game, 18,000 fans in Philadelphia held a moment

00:02:23.240 of silence.

00:02:24.480 And when Reagan joked to his doctors, I hope you're all Republicans, his doctor, a liberal,

00:02:29.060 famously responded, today we are all Republicans.

00:02:32.720 The 43 years after the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan, Donald Trump was nearly killed

00:02:38.660 on live television.

00:02:40.220 And in the aftermath, as you probably noticed, there has not really been any similar moment

00:02:45.420 of national unity.

00:02:48.180 Entertainment venues aren't canceling events or holding moments of silence.

00:02:53.040 Doing the opposite, in fact.

00:02:54.440 A member of the gimmick rock band Tenacious D just told a crowd that he wished the assassin

00:02:58.380 had killed the former president.

00:03:00.080 You've probably seen that video.

00:03:01.000 We played it yesterday.

00:03:02.560 The New York Times published a full-page spread claiming that Trump had betrayed America.

00:03:07.160 CNN and ABC criticized Donald Trump for using the word fight just moments after he was shot.

00:03:12.040 Kara Swisher made jokes about the assassination attempts on their podcast.

00:03:17.560 Listen.

00:03:18.800 So to speak.

00:03:19.500 Yeah, it wasn't staged.

00:03:21.440 There's ridiculous theories on both sides, the worst on the right, but I don't know if

00:03:24.740 you heard, but right before Melania gave her public statement, she was heard yelling

00:03:29.480 into a phone, you had one job.

00:03:32.540 Too soon?

00:03:33.880 Too soon?

00:03:34.700 I like a joke.

00:03:35.380 My favorite joke was from someone where they said, let's hope it's not a time traveler

00:03:40.340 from the future who can't shoot.

00:03:42.600 It was something like that.

00:03:43.520 Anyway.

00:03:44.100 Oh, no.

00:03:44.720 The truth is, I mean, probably the most likely conspiracy theory is the Democratic Party

00:03:50.420 ordered a hit, but they used Timu for it.

00:03:53.060 They used Timu.

00:03:54.240 Oh.

00:03:56.180 All right.

00:03:56.780 We'll stop with the jokes.

00:03:57.480 You don't have this reaction to the presidential frontrunner nearly dying on national television

00:04:03.160 just three days earlier, unless you're fine with it happening.

00:04:06.940 There's no other explanation for it.

00:04:09.220 Any normal, well-adjusted person who doesn't wish death on their political enemies, anyone

00:04:13.720 who cares about the democratic system of government, is still shaken by what happened on Saturday.

00:04:20.280 But not Kara Swisher.

00:04:21.720 And they're not alone.

00:04:22.260 While a handful of tech CEOs from Apple to Amazon to Google did post condemnations of political

00:04:27.420 violence, for the most part, from left-wing corners of society, there's been an outpouring

00:04:32.480 of ambivalence or outright disdain, not sympathy for the former president in the wake of the

00:04:37.920 assassination attempt.

00:04:39.920 And there are a few different ways you can explain this disparity, this major shift from

00:04:44.340 the 1980s to today.

00:04:46.480 How did we go from a country that came together across the political spectrum to mourn this

00:04:51.440 kind of violence, regardless of politics, to a country where, in some corners, they don't

00:04:58.220 really care about it, or even endorse it?

00:05:00.860 That's an important question.

00:05:02.340 And a simple explanation, the one you'll often hear, is to say that we're living in a much

00:05:06.600 more polarized political climate these days.

00:05:09.300 We're supposed to accept the idea that violence has simply become normalized, and because it's

00:05:14.820 so polarized, that's kind of the stock explanation you hear all the time.

00:05:17.920 But it's not especially compelling because it overlooks the extent to which leftists,

00:05:22.080 more than conservatives, accept and embrace political violence, even while pretending to

00:05:26.600 condemn it categorically.

00:05:28.740 Consider who's been committing most acts of political violence over the past few years.

00:05:31.800 It's not conservatives.

00:05:32.640 It was BLM that torched cities and used car lots and churches and pharmacies, attacked

00:05:37.340 secret service agents in the summer of 2020.

00:05:39.480 When Trump was inaugurated, leftists vandalized cars and businesses in the area.

00:05:43.040 A Bernie Sanders supporter shot up a congressional baseball game practice, nearly killing Steve

00:05:48.260 Scalise.

00:05:49.400 It was a leftist who attacked the Family Research Council, supposedly because it was falsely

00:05:53.260 classified as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center.

00:05:56.700 The one major recent example we always hear of, suppose, right-wing violence is the protest

00:06:04.200 on January 6th, which can only be understood in the context of the eight months of nationwide

00:06:08.500 rioting perpetrated by leftists and endorsed by the Democrats that preceded it.

00:06:12.100 And of course, the only person killed on that day, January 6th, as you know, was a right

00:06:17.120 winger.

00:06:18.560 Additionally, on social media right now, you'll find many examples of leftists openly celebrating

00:06:23.200 the attempted assassination on Trump.

00:06:25.660 It's kind of striking how comfortable many of these people are talking so nonchalantly

00:06:29.860 about the attempted murder of a former president.

00:06:33.100 It's a window into what leftist discourse in places like San Francisco or Portland must

00:06:39.520 be like.

00:06:40.020 Hatred for conservatives is so normalized, so commonplace, that they don't think twice

00:06:45.180 about saying something that any normal person would consider objectively insane, something

00:06:49.820 that would have obvious professional ramifications in most of the country, especially if a conservative

00:06:53.700 said it.

00:06:54.780 So it doesn't seem like we can just wave our hands and say polarization is the issue.

00:07:00.720 What we're seeing is something closer to dehumanization.

00:07:03.580 Many Americans have been indoctrinated into believing that their political opponents aren't human,

00:07:09.900 basically, and don't deserve to live.

00:07:12.500 The other explanation you might hear is that Donald Trump is supposedly a uniquely bad guy.

00:07:17.400 He's going to end democracy with Project 2025 and so forth.

00:07:20.660 But this is not a satisfying explanation either for a couple of reasons.

00:07:24.720 Obviously, the premise is hysterical nonsense.

00:07:27.200 It's completely false.

00:07:28.920 Project 2025 is the Russian collusion of the 2024 election.

00:07:32.260 But even if you accept for the sake of argument the false premise that Donald Trump is this

00:07:37.240 horrible dude, the logic still wouldn't make any sense.

00:07:40.740 Four years ago, pretty much every Fortune 500 company and government agency and university

00:07:45.420 in this country mourned the death of a horrible human being by the name of George Floyd.

00:07:49.680 Pretty much every single LLC and nonprofit in the universe came out of the woodwork to make

00:07:53.780 that very clear.

00:07:55.040 Even the National Association of the Deaf recorded a video for BLM in sign language

00:07:59.300 lamenting, quote, black deaths at the hands of police officers.

00:08:03.700 Now, we play the footage, but there's no sound for obvious reasons.

00:08:06.020 In the non-deaf world, companies like Nike and Ben and Jerry's got involved also.

00:08:12.680 The national funeral, as you remember, went on for months and cost billions of dollars.

00:08:17.200 Watch.

00:08:17.440 In Nike's new ad, the shoemaker is using its Just Do It brand to say what not to do.

00:08:26.020 Don't turn your back on racism.

00:08:27.960 Don't accept innocent lives being taken from us.

00:08:30.980 It's a quarter after one.

00:08:33.140 Today, country music band Lady Antebellum changed its name to Lady A, saying it recognizes

00:08:38.940 the dark history behind the name and didn't take into account its connection to slavery.

00:08:43.580 They're examples of a cultural shift and racial sensitivities after more than two weeks of

00:08:51.860 mass protests.

00:08:53.220 From Ben and Jerry's to Band-Aid, so far companies have pledged more than $1.7 billion to advance

00:08:59.780 racial justice.

00:09:01.360 Now, these same companies have not pledged a billion dollars towards ending political

00:09:07.040 violence after Donald Trump was almost assassinated.

00:09:09.480 In fact, most of them have not issued any statements of any kind.

00:09:14.360 They haven't changed their Instagram profile pictures.

00:09:17.040 They haven't put out any PSAs.

00:09:19.300 They haven't said anything.

00:09:21.780 And it's not like these companies are in the habit of ignoring current events.

00:09:25.420 Usually, as we've seen, they are quite vocal about it.

00:09:28.420 Now we have one of the most historic current events that any of us will live through in our

00:09:32.680 lives, and we get silence in response.

00:09:35.780 Same goes for the major universities in this country.

00:09:39.360 As Chris Ruffo pointed out yesterday, quote, elite universities published an endless number

00:09:44.240 of statements on Black Lives Matter, climate change, Me Too, stop Asian hate, Ukraine, Hamas,

00:09:49.460 but couldn't be bothered about the attempted assassination of an American president.

00:09:53.740 And that's true.

00:09:54.500 Universities that have become de facto political action committees are suddenly silent when the

00:09:59.000 most serious political assassination attempt of the century takes place on live television.

00:10:04.220 Now, for example, here was Harvard's statement in June of 2020, just for comparison.

00:10:09.760 Quote,

00:10:10.680 The Harvard community is deeply distressed by the killing of George Floyd, rather the killings

00:10:15.240 of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, and many more Black Americans at the hands

00:10:19.400 of those who have promised to protect communities and uphold the rule of law.

00:10:22.940 Black Lives Matter.

00:10:24.060 We must use this moment to confront and remedy racial injustice.

00:10:27.960 Now, to be clear, these are deaths that had absolutely nothing to do with Harvard's campus.

00:10:31.820 None of these people died anywhere near the school.

00:10:35.320 And Tony McDade apparently stabbed a guy to death and pointed a gun at a cop before getting

00:10:39.380 shot.

00:10:40.440 It's all on body camera, but Harvard decided that Tony McDade was a martyr because Tony

00:10:44.320 McDade identified as a transgender man.

00:10:48.240 And apparently, some news reports accurately describe McDade's gender, which bothered the faculty

00:10:51.860 at Harvard even more.

00:10:53.680 So Harvard's more distressed by the so-called misgendering of a murderer than they are about

00:10:58.100 the attempted murder of the leading presidential candidate and a former president.

00:11:02.320 Not to be outdone, back in 2020, Yale's Women and Gender Studies Department declared that

00:11:06.440 they stand in solidarity with the protests against the murder of George Floyd and against

00:11:10.860 state-sanctioned racism and racist police and civilian violence.

00:11:14.480 They warned that police violence against people of color, and especially Black people, is a

00:11:18.240 systemic foundational condition of the United States.

00:11:21.180 Foundational, but non-essential.

00:11:22.820 Now, the Yale Women and Gender Studies Department, it will not surprise you to learn, has not

00:11:28.400 put out a similar statement post-Trump assassination attempt.

00:11:32.660 Berkeley is also apparently unbothered by the Trump shooting.

00:11:36.060 That's a little conspicuous since Berkeley put out multiple statements about George Floyd.

00:11:39.620 In fact, in his statement announcing the murder of a Berkeley student named Seth Smith, Berkeley's

00:11:45.260 chancellor still ended up talking about George Floyd even in that context.

00:11:48.640 That's how large George Floyd loomed on campus at the time.

00:11:51.200 He was bigger than the deaths of actual students at Berkeley.

00:11:55.060 Quote,

00:11:56.460 Many of you may have had a close relationship with Seth and are feeling a sense of loss and

00:12:00.640 disbelief.

00:12:01.160 Others, like many of us, are experiencing stress, grief, and anxiety related to the coronavirus

00:12:04.300 pandemic and the recent murders of George Floyd, Rhea Milton, and other Black Americans.

00:12:09.920 The chancellor actually wrote that as part of an email announcing a student's death to

00:12:13.560 the campus.

00:12:14.200 So Berkeley clearly sees enormous societal significance in the death of a drug addict 2,000 miles

00:12:19.620 away, but they're not so concerned about the attempted murder of the leading presidential

00:12:23.280 frontrunner and, again, former president.

00:12:26.140 Now, I could go on listing pretty much every university and Fortune 500 company on the planet,

00:12:30.280 but honestly, we don't have time for that.

00:12:32.200 You get the point.

00:12:33.420 And the point is that all of these institutions either don't care about the attempted assassination

00:12:37.360 of Donald Trump or they endorse it.

00:12:39.020 And it would be a mistake to conclude that federal government agencies like the Secret

00:12:43.560 Service are immune from this trend.

00:12:46.180 If the Secret Service is ambivalent at best about Donald Trump's safety, then that would

00:12:50.400 explain why they didn't have that rooftop covered less than 150 yards away.

00:12:54.360 That would explain why no one's resigned or been fired.

00:12:57.060 It explains why the Secret Service director made up some ridiculous excuse about how the

00:13:00.100 roof was too slanted for snipers to sit on or whatever.

00:13:03.620 It would also explain why in the latest breaking news that I just saw from the Daily Mail,

00:13:06.780 by the way, they're now saying that this guy was on the radar, this guy was on Secret

00:13:11.880 Service radar, the shooter was, three hours, three hours before the shooting happened.

00:13:21.120 And yet, with three hours to act, they did not act.

00:13:26.300 And then Donald Trump was nearly killed.

00:13:28.040 They're promoting the same unhinged rhetoric that they were before on the left.

00:13:31.080 Here, for example, was Joe Biden yesterday in a speech to the NAACP stammering through a

00:13:36.080 claim that Donald Trump wanted to send the National Guard after peaceful BLM protesters.

00:13:41.580 This, again, is yesterday, post-assassination attempt.

00:13:44.460 This is what he's saying.

00:13:46.100 Of course, ignoring all the violence and rioting and arson that was going on at the time.

00:13:49.720 Watch.

00:13:50.000 The pandemic was especially devastating to black communities.

00:13:54.560 Oh, I know.

00:13:57.120 And other countries, other communities of color.

00:14:00.240 That economic crisis drove up black unemployment, decimated small black businesses.

00:14:05.480 And you peacefully protested George Floyd's murder.

00:14:08.440 Donald Trump called for the National Guard to go after you.

00:14:11.160 What in the hell is the matter with this man?

00:14:12.420 Well, I'm serious.

00:14:16.440 Go figure.

00:14:18.320 From a guy who spread the birth as a lie against Barack Obama, saying he wasn't born in America

00:14:23.260 and he wasn't a U.S. citizen.

00:14:25.280 So this is what's changed since the 1980s.

00:14:27.420 There's now a large influential segment of the population that endorses political violence

00:14:31.260 against their political opposition.

00:14:33.900 But for the most part, they won't admit it outright.

00:14:35.780 Instead, they're going to pretend that it's peaceful protest, as Joe Biden just did.

00:14:39.540 They're going to refuse to even mention what happened to Donald Trump, even as they mourn

00:14:43.820 their fallen foot soldiers.

00:14:45.700 This is now the norm in the country that once mourned Reagan across party lines, across the

00:14:50.980 whole country.

00:14:52.600 Now, the left might not acknowledge that that's what they're doing, but that's all the more

00:14:56.940 reason that we should call it out and prepare accordingly.

00:15:00.760 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:02.180 You know, going online without ExpressVPN, it's like leaving your kids with the nearest

00:15:11.360 stranger while you go to the restroom.

00:15:13.080 They're probably not a kidnapper or serial killer, but why would you ever take that risk?

00:15:17.440 Every time you connect to an unencrypted network in cafes, hotels, airports, etc., your online

00:15:22.040 data is not secure.

00:15:23.460 Any hacker on the same network can gain access and steal your personal data, passwords, bank

00:15:27.740 logins, credit card details, etc.

00:15:29.400 It doesn't take much technical knowledge to hack somebody.

00:15:32.120 All you need is some cheap hardware.

00:15:34.340 A smart 12-year-old could do it.

00:15:35.960 Hackers can make up to $1,000 per person selling personal information on the dark web.

00:15:40.520 ExpressVPN stops hackers from stealing your data by creating a secure encrypted tunnel between

00:15:45.720 your device and the internet.

00:15:47.940 Take a hacker with a supercomputer over a billion years to get past ExpressVPN's encryption.

00:15:52.620 Sounds complicated, but ExpressVPN is actually really easy to use.

00:15:55.740 I love ExpressVPN because all I got to do is connect by firing up the app and clicking

00:16:00.920 one button, and that's it.

00:16:01.860 Plus, it works on all my devices, including my phone, laptop, and tablet, so I can stay

00:16:05.720 secure when I'm on the go.

00:16:07.740 Secure your online data today by visiting expressvpn.com slash Walsh.

00:16:11.640 That's exprssvpn.com slash Walsh, and you can get three months free.

00:16:15.680 Expressvpn.com slash Walsh.

00:16:18.440 So I want to talk about this.

00:16:20.280 Probably won't spend a long time on it because I want to go into much greater detail about it

00:16:23.860 in a monologue probably tomorrow, but it's worth mentioning ahead of time anyway.

00:16:29.400 KCRA reports, quote, California Governor Gavin Newsom on Monday signed a bill that prohibits

00:16:34.020 school districts from having policies that require parents to be notified if their child

00:16:37.700 identifies as transgender.

00:16:39.920 The passage of Assembly Bill 1955 comes after several school districts across the state put

00:16:44.320 parental notification policies in place.

00:16:46.580 Some of those policies have been challenged in court.

00:16:48.520 The law prevents districts from requiring staff to disclose a student's sexual orientation,

00:16:51.980 gender identity, or gender expression without the student's consent.

00:16:55.680 It sparked heated debate at the Capitol this year.

00:16:59.260 Assembly member Chris Ward, Democrat, said,

00:17:02.120 Politically motivated attacks on the rights, safety, and dignity of transgender, non-binary,

00:17:05.580 and other LGBTQ plus youth are on the rise nationwide, including in California.

00:17:10.400 That's just nonsense, by the way.

00:17:11.680 That's simply not true.

00:17:12.640 That's just made up.

00:17:14.460 Politically motivated attacks on, well, I'll put it this way.

00:17:19.660 But that's meant to imply that there's violence happening, politically motivated attacks.

00:17:28.320 And if you read it that way, which is how they want you to read it, it's completely false.

00:17:32.660 There has been no rise in physical attacks motivated by hate or politics on, quote, unquote,

00:17:41.560 the LGBTQ community, quote, unquote.

00:17:43.560 But, you know, they leave it vague enough that they say, well,

00:17:49.200 a politically motivated attack is just what I'm saying right now they would call a politically motivated attack.

00:17:54.040 Words, a point of view expressed is a politically motivated attack.

00:17:58.860 So that's how they get away with making claims like that.

00:18:00.940 Anyway, he says, while some school districts have adopted policies to forcibly out students,

00:18:05.960 the Safety Act ensures that discussions about gender identity remain a private matter within the family.

00:18:11.400 As a parent, I urge all parents to talk to their children, listen to them, and love them unconditionally for who they are.

00:18:17.800 Okay, but even if I agreed that loving my child for who they are means affirming whatever their so-called gender identity is,

00:18:24.140 which I don't agree, but if I did, how can I love them in that way if I don't know who they are, according to you?

00:18:31.300 I mean, according to your logic, if your child, right, if your daughter identifies as a boy,

00:18:40.200 then you have to love them by accepting that your daughter is a boy.

00:18:46.080 Okay, well, again, adopting your logic for just a second, how can that happen if the parent doesn't even know about that identification?

00:18:57.480 So how can you simultaneously tell parents to accept that their children are trans while also preventing them from knowing that their children identify as trans?

00:19:06.700 So this contradiction is by far not the most important problem with this law, but I do think it's worth mentioning.

00:19:11.980 Here's more from CBS in Sacramento. Listen to this.

00:19:16.940 This has been a hot topic, as we know. We've been reporting on it for months.

00:19:20.680 It's not just here, but across the state.

00:19:22.900 Rockland Unified, we know one of those local districts, facing legal action over their notification policy.

00:19:28.620 But those I talked to today say, despite the governor's signature, this fight is far from over.

00:19:35.740 It's a first-in-the-nation law.

00:19:37.640 The governor bans policies that require teachers to tell parents if their child asked to change their gender identification.

00:19:45.940 For months, LGBTQ rights advocates rallied outside board meetings, much like this one in Rockland, against the policy.

00:19:53.820 Well, I think with the governor signing AB 1955, it's actually going to just cause more confusion.

00:19:59.380 Confusion led to chaos at times between politicians.

00:20:02.700 I will do my best.

00:20:04.660 You're out of order. You're disparaging the House.

00:20:06.800 Sparking this heated exchange between parties debating the bill last month, Republican Assemblymember Bill Assaylee's microphone cut mid-sentence.

00:20:16.600 Okay, so we are here today because the proponents have said that school districts have passed dangerous parental notification policies.

00:20:25.320 Rockland Unified is one of at least six other districts in the state that tried passing similar policies.

00:20:31.480 Many met with legal challenges.

00:20:33.060 And while it's being praised as a way to protect LGBTQ students from so-called forced outings.

00:20:39.200 If parents aren't supportive of their children, then the children shouldn't have to tell the parents.

00:20:46.080 Now, we can just stop it there because that is insane.

00:20:49.500 I mean, I hope you all appreciate how insane that is.

00:20:52.160 I'm sure you do.

00:20:52.920 I'm sure you appreciate it.

00:20:54.040 Any parent certainly appreciates how insane that is.

00:20:58.420 Think about what that woman just said.

00:21:01.100 Right?

00:21:01.380 If the parents won't support a decision, then children shouldn't have to tell the parents about the decision.

00:21:11.280 That's what she said.

00:21:12.740 Nothing dangerous about that mentality, is there?

00:21:15.640 Hey, kids, if your parents don't approve of you doing something, just don't tell them.

00:21:20.500 Hey, kids, if your parents won't approve of what you're doing or saying, then that means you shouldn't tell them at all.

00:21:26.220 No, it doesn't mean don't do it.

00:21:27.860 It doesn't mean, you know, talk to your parents and figure out why they feel that way.

00:21:32.060 No, just keep it a secret in that case.

00:21:36.720 I mean, if you wanted to come up with a message that is the most likely to do the most harm to the most children,

00:21:42.180 I can't think of any message more effective towards that end.

00:21:47.900 So what's the point of this law?

00:21:49.240 It's obviously, first and foremost, designed to protect the indoctrinators in the school system,

00:21:54.640 protect the teachers from accountability,

00:21:56.520 because now they can indoctrinate children into gender ideology without having to worry that the parents will find out about it.

00:22:03.300 It's also yet another way to erect a boundary between the parent and the child.

00:22:08.180 Weaken and ultimately sever the bond between the child and parent,

00:22:12.420 you know, because when there are secrets that the child keeps from the parent,

00:22:17.600 secrets that are shared with other kids and even other adults,

00:22:21.580 but not the parent, that has the effect, the very much intended effect,

00:22:27.380 of essentially making the parent obsolete in the eyes of the child.

00:22:32.380 Right?

00:22:32.820 Because then the child says to himself that,

00:22:36.740 you know,

00:22:38.160 basically he goes to school and lives a whole different life.

00:22:44.220 I mean, a whole different identity

00:22:45.820 that the parents don't even know about.

00:22:48.660 And so the parents are, they're not even relevant.

00:22:50.720 They're not relevant to what he considers his real life to be.

00:22:54.800 And worse than obsolete, the parent in that case is an outsider, a threat,

00:22:58.960 someone to hide from and guard yourself against.

00:23:03.280 I mean, think about,

00:23:05.420 it's every, every part of this thing is so insidious.

00:23:12.440 But let's just start with the name,

00:23:15.200 the name of this law.

00:23:18.020 Safety Act.

00:23:19.100 Okay, when you hear,

00:23:21.580 and there's been,

00:23:22.060 there have been plenty of laws,

00:23:23.620 federal, state,

00:23:25.460 that have the word safety in them, right?

00:23:28.360 Whether they have anything to do with safety or not,

00:23:30.320 it's just one of those things.

00:23:31.280 You hear that and you think,

00:23:32.000 well, safety is good.

00:23:33.080 We want safety.

00:23:35.460 But think about what they're applying it to in this case.

00:23:39.120 Safety.

00:23:39.440 So we're doing this for the safety of the child.

00:23:45.700 Well, so who is threatening the child's safety in this case?

00:23:51.540 The parent.

00:23:54.060 We're telling the kids,

00:23:55.260 for your own safety,

00:23:57.720 don't tell your parents.

00:23:58.960 your parents are a threat to you.

00:24:04.440 That is the message from,

00:24:07.840 coming straight down from the governor's office now to these kids.

00:24:11.080 It is,

00:24:13.260 it is pure evil.

00:24:16.480 And it's the kind of thing that,

00:24:18.860 we have to keep it ever present in our mind that,

00:24:24.720 that,

00:24:24.980 that this is what we're dealing with,

00:24:26.940 right?

00:24:27.240 This is,

00:24:28.640 you know,

00:24:29.180 we talk about the sides.

00:24:30.360 I mean,

00:24:30.620 the other side,

00:24:32.280 this is what they support.

00:24:34.140 Pure unbridled evil.

00:24:35.800 And there's one other point about this.

00:24:40.180 Like I said,

00:24:40.700 we'll,

00:24:40.860 we'll be talking about this in more detail later this week.

00:24:44.360 So kind of an overview,

00:24:45.860 but you know,

00:24:48.300 the other,

00:24:49.300 the other really important point,

00:24:50.360 which,

00:24:50.680 which I've made before,

00:24:51.480 but I don't think is brought up nearly enough is this,

00:24:54.820 that both the left and right agree on one thing when it comes to this topic,

00:25:01.000 right?

00:25:01.860 We agree that trans identified kids are at a time.

00:25:05.780 A much higher risk of suicide than kids who are not trans identified.

00:25:10.300 I think we both,

00:25:11.360 we agree on that.

00:25:12.820 Now the left sometimes trots out statistics that I think are,

00:25:16.200 are rather inflated.

00:25:19.180 And it's the kind of thing that it's,

00:25:20.940 it's hard to quantify statistically,

00:25:22.760 but every study that we've seen,

00:25:26.700 every,

00:25:27.160 you know,

00:25:27.600 any attempt to tabulate these sorts of statistics,

00:25:29.940 they've all come to the same conclusion that trans,

00:25:35.680 trans identified kids are a high risk group for suicide.

00:25:38.640 They are higher than kids who are not trans identified.

00:25:44.800 And so again,

00:25:45.120 I think we all agree on that point.

00:25:48.800 And so that means that California has just empowered schools to hide a child's high risk status from his own parents.

00:25:58.420 If a child is at a high risk of suicide,

00:26:01.820 the parents,

00:26:03.780 the first line of defense against a child committing any kind of self-harm,

00:26:07.800 because they're the ones who live with the child,

00:26:10.100 are at home with,

00:26:11.520 with the child.

00:26:12.840 But with this law,

00:26:14.240 the parents won't know about it.

00:26:15.360 So leave everything else aside for a moment.

00:26:21.060 Right?

00:26:21.260 No matter how you,

00:26:22.000 no matter what you think about gender ideology,

00:26:24.460 transgenderism,

00:26:25.540 it doesn't matter.

00:26:27.940 This is reason enough

00:26:29.560 to not just inform parents,

00:26:32.780 but to require that they be informed.

00:26:36.980 This is reason enough.

00:26:38.220 Whatever else you might think,

00:26:40.620 the fact remains that parents need to know

00:26:43.060 if their child is in a category

00:26:45.380 that puts them at a high risk for self-harm.

00:26:50.600 Parents need to know that.

00:26:52.020 For the child's safety,

00:26:53.400 they call it a safety act.

00:26:54.760 For the child's safety,

00:26:56.840 parents need to know that.

00:27:01.680 So what happens when you have the first child who

00:27:03.980 identifies as trans

00:27:06.760 starts having suicidal ideation,

00:27:14.840 you know,

00:27:15.280 maybe there's a teacher,

00:27:17.200 there's some counselor at the school

00:27:18.580 that would like to inform the parent,

00:27:21.600 feels morally obligated to,

00:27:24.980 but doesn't

00:27:25.900 because they're legally

00:27:27.720 barred from it.

00:27:31.040 And then that child goes on

00:27:36.520 to tragically hurt himself.

00:27:39.100 Like, what happens then?

00:27:42.820 Well, we know the answer.

00:27:44.640 Nothing happens.

00:27:46.140 Politically, anyway.

00:27:47.580 These people aren't going to accept

00:27:48.720 any responsibility,

00:27:49.720 no matter what happens.

00:27:51.460 And we know in particular,

00:27:55.740 when it comes to the sky-high rates

00:27:58.240 of suicidal ideation,

00:27:59.400 suicide attempts,

00:28:00.260 and suicide

00:28:00.840 among trans-identified people,

00:28:03.760 kids in particular,

00:28:05.100 that no matter what,

00:28:07.760 those tragic cases

00:28:08.920 are always going to be used

00:28:10.440 against, you know,

00:28:13.600 conservatives.

00:28:14.480 That's always going to be our fault,

00:28:15.940 no matter what.

00:28:18.080 Even though we're the ones saying,

00:28:21.180 what, you know,

00:28:22.800 to a child who

00:28:24.560 is struggling

00:28:26.280 with these thoughts,

00:28:29.120 the first thing

00:28:31.620 I would say to the child

00:28:32.740 is,

00:28:33.660 you have to talk to your parents.

00:28:36.580 That's the first thing.

00:28:37.640 Anyone who goes to a kid

00:28:41.980 and says,

00:28:42.660 oh, don't tell your parents

00:28:43.480 about this.

00:28:45.080 You and I can talk about it,

00:28:46.520 but don't tell your parents.

00:28:48.040 This is a secret

00:28:48.860 between you and me.

00:28:50.760 Anyone who does that,

00:28:51.880 any adult who does that,

00:28:53.300 cannot be trusted.

00:28:55.600 That's,

00:28:56.020 that's not just a red flag.

00:28:58.140 That is a,

00:28:58.540 that's a parade

00:28:59.420 of red flags.

00:29:04.640 Okay, as mentioned earlier,

00:29:05.920 Biden spoke to the NAACP,

00:29:07.460 yesterday.

00:29:08.440 Feels kind of pointless

00:29:09.260 to even make

00:29:09.900 any real note

00:29:11.480 of this at this point,

00:29:13.200 but still,

00:29:14.620 I can't help but note

00:29:15.780 that the speech

00:29:16.540 was a disaster.

00:29:18.600 So here's a quick

00:29:19.440 highlight reel

00:29:20.060 that was posted

00:29:20.520 by the account

00:29:21.080 AGHamilton29

00:29:22.180 on Twitter.

00:29:22.840 I don't know

00:29:23.120 if they made the video

00:29:24.220 or not.

00:29:24.960 That's where I found it.

00:29:26.540 And here it is.

00:29:28.600 Watch.

00:29:29.700 I know.

00:29:31.860 I thought you'd say,

00:29:32.860 Joe,

00:29:33.160 you may not have a Congress.

00:29:34.700 Well, guess what?

00:29:35.260 You all told me

00:29:35.820 I couldn't pass

00:29:36.660 the Inflation Reduction Act.

00:29:39.260 You all told me

00:29:39.880 I couldn't face it.

00:29:41.120 Anyway,

00:29:42.320 we did it.

00:29:45.880 We're going to bring

00:29:46.540 rents down.

00:29:47.120 As I said,

00:29:47.600 we're going to build

00:29:48.020 two million affordable homes.

00:29:50.280 The cap rent increases

00:29:51.120 to five percent a year

00:29:52.040 so corporate landlords

00:29:53.000 can't,

00:29:53.960 God,

00:29:55.320 anyway,

00:29:55.960 I don't want to get going.

00:29:57.300 I'm going to get very upset.

00:29:58.600 But there's

00:30:00.540 gouging America.

00:30:02.560 By the way,

00:30:04.340 not only saves lives,

00:30:05.600 it'll save taxpayers

00:30:06.580 just what I did

00:30:07.740 on the first round

00:30:09.040 on dealing with Medicare.

00:30:10.960 It saves the taxpayer

00:30:12.340 one hundred

00:30:14.060 and sixty

00:30:15.040 billion dollars

00:30:16.320 because they don't have

00:30:18.260 to pay these exorbitant prices

00:30:19.840 to these

00:30:21.380 anyway.

00:30:22.020 If you're keeping track

00:30:24.480 at home,

00:30:25.800 that is three times

00:30:27.140 in one speech

00:30:27.840 when he stopped

00:30:28.580 mid-sentence

00:30:29.280 because he forgot

00:30:29.980 what he was

00:30:30.420 in the middle of saying.

00:30:33.120 The Republicans

00:30:34.160 are destroying democracy.

00:30:35.780 Here's the evidence.

00:30:36.580 Number one,

00:30:38.580 eh,

00:30:39.880 anyway,

00:30:42.120 I'm not going to go there.

00:30:44.400 What do you mean

00:30:44.900 you're not going to go there?

00:30:46.120 You're giving the speech

00:30:47.020 about it.

00:30:48.020 I don't even understand

00:30:49.020 what's happening here.

00:30:50.160 I mean,

00:30:50.540 neither does Biden,

00:30:51.300 obviously,

00:30:51.740 but what I don't get

00:30:53.460 is he's on prompter,

00:30:55.000 isn't he?

00:30:55.880 They're not sending,

00:30:57.060 are they sending him out there

00:30:58.180 to give memorized speeches?

00:31:01.800 Is this some sort

00:31:02.600 of brain exercise

00:31:03.620 they're trying to get,

00:31:04.460 you know,

00:31:04.800 are they trying to get

00:31:05.640 the wheels turning again?

00:31:08.360 Is that what's happening?

00:31:08.900 I assume not.

00:31:09.760 I assume he's on prompter.

00:31:11.360 So how can you forget

00:31:13.600 what you're saying

00:31:14.700 when it's right in front of you

00:31:16.140 and you're reading it?

00:31:17.460 But this is senility,

00:31:22.720 so it's no mystery

00:31:23.480 and Democrats are stuck with it.

00:31:25.620 There's no getting out of it now.

00:31:27.000 Like I said a couple of days ago,

00:31:28.100 the effort to replace Biden

00:31:29.340 is done

00:31:30.420 and I think we've seen that

00:31:32.280 pan out over the last few days.

00:31:33.560 You haven't really heard

00:31:34.200 anything about it.

00:31:36.220 There will be no more calls

00:31:37.480 for Biden to step down

00:31:38.600 and who could they even

00:31:40.960 replace him with at this point?

00:31:42.940 They're not going to find anyone

00:31:43.640 that would want to

00:31:44.140 that would want to step in

00:31:46.700 in the middle of this.

00:31:48.400 No way.

00:31:51.020 All right, here's Joy Reid

00:31:52.460 at the RNC last night.

00:31:54.240 Listen.

00:31:55.520 Universal kind of reaction

00:31:57.660 that I'm getting,

00:31:58.480 whether it's civilians

00:31:59.100 or, you know, professionals,

00:32:00.720 is really a deep concern

00:32:03.580 and lack of confidence

00:32:07.200 in not us at this table

00:32:10.780 or us at MSNBC,

00:32:12.460 but us as the media writ large.

00:32:14.800 And a fear

00:32:16.040 that what's going to happen now

00:32:18.020 is that the Republican Party

00:32:20.640 will do what they do.

00:32:21.560 They're in the middle of a campaign.

00:32:22.840 They're, you know,

00:32:23.220 the convention started today.

00:32:24.420 That the media will acquiesce

00:32:27.140 to trying to convince people

00:32:30.640 that the things

00:32:31.360 they've been experiencing

00:32:32.460 for the last, you know,

00:32:34.000 five, six years

00:32:34.760 didn't happen.

00:32:36.840 That the greatest purveyor

00:32:39.980 and promoter

00:32:41.760 of political violence

00:32:42.980 really, you know,

00:32:44.800 since anyone can remember,

00:32:47.720 since George Wallace,

00:32:49.220 I think, you know,

00:32:49.980 that we just haven't experienced

00:32:51.300 that kind of open,

00:32:52.700 you know, sort of citing

00:32:54.380 or sort of incitement of violence

00:32:56.180 or sort of luxuriating

00:32:57.460 in the idea of violence.

00:32:58.180 It's just not something

00:32:58.780 we're used to anymore

00:33:00.180 in American politics.

00:33:01.180 And then we had to get used

00:33:02.520 to that being a thing.

00:33:03.660 And people are concerned

00:33:05.440 and expressing concern

00:33:06.580 that we won't be

00:33:08.000 the guardians of memory

00:33:09.500 and that we will allow

00:33:12.220 Donald Trump,

00:33:14.500 as he is, you know,

00:33:16.100 bathed in the glory

00:33:18.040 and grandeur of his party,

00:33:19.480 to rewrite himself

00:33:21.620 as both a hero and a victim,

00:33:23.640 that people who are

00:33:24.920 the most vulnerable

00:33:25.980 to not just the things

00:33:27.400 he's done,

00:33:27.960 but the things

00:33:28.360 he's promising to do,

00:33:30.120 and that that will then happen

00:33:32.020 without a guardian

00:33:33.700 saying, wait, stop,

00:33:36.440 and then the media

00:33:37.500 will acquiesce

00:33:38.440 to this rewrite.

00:33:40.940 So that's actually

00:33:41.840 very interesting

00:33:42.660 and not for the reasons

00:33:44.020 that she intends,

00:33:45.560 but it is very interesting.

00:33:47.100 How does she describe

00:33:49.900 the media?

00:33:50.560 She says the media

00:33:51.260 must be the guardians

00:33:52.440 of memory.

00:33:54.160 Now, leave aside

00:33:55.000 the flowery,

00:33:56.300 absurdly self-inflated,

00:33:57.600 overly dramatic view

00:33:59.160 that she has

00:33:59.840 of herself

00:34:00.440 and her profession

00:34:01.160 and her colleagues,

00:34:03.100 the way that she

00:34:04.000 wildly overestimates

00:34:06.040 her own importance.

00:34:07.260 We're used to that

00:34:08.280 from the media.

00:34:09.880 They are the guardians,

00:34:11.600 she declares.

00:34:12.600 Because she imagines

00:34:13.380 herself in like

00:34:14.480 a superhero cape,

00:34:16.040 hands on her hip,

00:34:17.100 standing on the rooftop,

00:34:19.700 overlooking the city

00:34:20.560 like Batman,

00:34:22.000 cape blowing in the wind.

00:34:25.080 The guardian.

00:34:26.400 That's how she imagines herself.

00:34:29.160 But listen to what she

00:34:30.020 sees herself

00:34:31.220 as the guardian of.

00:34:33.420 Memory.

00:34:34.760 The guardian of memory.

00:34:39.820 And this is why

00:34:41.500 I like someone

00:34:41.980 like Joy Rita.

00:34:42.580 Well, I'm not gonna say like,

00:34:43.600 that's a strong term,

00:34:44.300 but

00:34:44.540 this is why

00:34:47.260 at times

00:34:47.760 she is useful

00:34:48.480 because

00:34:49.000 she will,

00:34:51.360 she's attempting

00:34:52.200 her best,

00:34:52.960 she's doing her best,

00:34:54.680 doing the best she can

00:34:56.060 to be a propagandist,

00:34:57.860 to be a good

00:34:58.560 little propagandist.

00:35:00.260 She wants to avoid

00:35:01.420 saying anything

00:35:02.080 that resembles

00:35:02.700 the truth.

00:35:04.360 And usually

00:35:05.100 she's able

00:35:05.880 to navigate that.

00:35:07.040 but every once

00:35:09.400 in a while

00:35:09.840 while trying

00:35:11.440 to propagandize

00:35:12.720 and avoid

00:35:13.620 the truth,

00:35:14.140 she accidentally

00:35:14.800 says something

00:35:15.540 that is quite revealing

00:35:17.420 and this is one of them,

00:35:18.300 that in the media

00:35:19.920 they see themselves

00:35:21.220 as the guardians

00:35:22.160 of memory.

00:35:22.860 They are the ones

00:35:23.460 who decide

00:35:24.200 what we remember

00:35:26.020 and how we remember it.

00:35:30.560 Which I shouldn't,

00:35:31.920 I know I don't have

00:35:32.580 to tell you,

00:35:33.640 that is not actually

00:35:34.920 the media's job.

00:35:37.700 If you're a journalist,

00:35:38.840 your job is just

00:35:39.520 to tell us

00:35:40.080 what's happening,

00:35:41.360 which we know

00:35:42.020 most journalists

00:35:42.560 do a terrible job

00:35:43.500 at that.

00:35:44.360 Well, most journalists

00:35:44.880 aren't even trying

00:35:45.580 to really do that

00:35:46.460 in the first place,

00:35:48.200 but in theory

00:35:50.140 that's your job,

00:35:50.880 is to tell us

00:35:51.480 what's happening

00:35:52.160 in the world.

00:35:53.280 Because we can't be

00:35:54.240 everywhere all at once

00:35:55.120 and so we're depending

00:35:56.020 on you

00:35:56.560 to be our eyes and ears.

00:35:58.660 That's the theory anyway.

00:36:01.380 But preserving a memory,

00:36:03.040 that's not,

00:36:03.440 that's not

00:36:05.060 the media's job.

00:36:06.220 Telling us

00:36:06.800 how to remember something,

00:36:08.120 what we should remember

00:36:09.160 of the things

00:36:09.860 that have occurred,

00:36:10.720 no.

00:36:13.580 And that's,

00:36:14.400 that's one of the many reasons

00:36:15.740 why they are

00:36:16.480 quite panicked right now

00:36:18.400 and quite distressed.

00:36:20.000 Because,

00:36:20.520 not only do you have

00:36:21.540 Biden already

00:36:22.140 falling apart,

00:36:22.960 but,

00:36:24.200 well,

00:36:24.580 he has fallen apart

00:36:25.400 completely.

00:36:25.980 He's just a jumbled

00:36:26.820 mess of a,

00:36:28.300 you know,

00:36:28.460 he's barely,

00:36:29.220 he's barely glued,

00:36:31.720 glued together

00:36:32.340 at this point.

00:36:33.080 But,

00:36:33.640 what happened on Saturday

00:36:36.220 is,

00:36:37.280 is a moment

00:36:39.480 that will be remembered.

00:36:42.520 And,

00:36:43.180 it will be remembered

00:36:44.740 primarily,

00:36:46.960 especially in history

00:36:48.640 in the years to come,

00:36:49.440 it will be remembered

00:36:50.100 primarily through that

00:36:51.600 one now iconic photograph.

00:36:54.200 And,

00:36:54.840 and that's what people

00:36:57.440 will remember.

00:36:58.320 that's not what

00:37:00.800 the Joy Reads of the world

00:37:02.240 want us to remember

00:37:03.320 about Donald Trump.

00:37:05.260 That they want us to forget.

00:37:06.880 Don't ever think about that again.

00:37:10.140 They've worked very hard

00:37:11.300 over the years

00:37:11.980 to like,

00:37:14.080 you know,

00:37:14.360 they've got Donald Trump,

00:37:15.340 he's doing and saying stuff

00:37:16.200 all the time,

00:37:17.000 and they pick and choose

00:37:18.360 certain things

00:37:19.300 and say,

00:37:20.020 well,

00:37:20.300 no,

00:37:20.520 this,

00:37:20.760 this is the stuff about Trump

00:37:21.920 you're supposed to remember

00:37:22.700 and think about.

00:37:24.700 And some of it

00:37:25.440 is totally invented,

00:37:26.540 some of it isn't,

00:37:27.180 but this is,

00:37:27.920 this is what we want you

00:37:28.820 to remember about him.

00:37:30.720 And then Saturday happens

00:37:31.940 and this is something

00:37:32.520 that everyone's going to remember

00:37:33.540 and they're quite panicked about it.

00:37:35.900 All right,

00:37:36.080 moving on to this.

00:37:38.380 We might actually do

00:37:39.160 five headlines today

00:37:39.980 on the five headlines.

00:37:40.700 This might be the first time

00:37:41.720 this is historic.

00:37:43.860 This might be the first time

00:37:44.680 in the history of the show

00:37:45.320 when five headlines

00:37:46.020 will include five.

00:37:46.620 We're at three now,

00:37:47.320 I think.

00:37:47.700 So,

00:37:48.500 let's see if we can get

00:37:49.260 through the next two.

00:37:51.580 I don't know.

00:37:52.100 I don't want to,

00:37:52.420 I don't want to call it

00:37:53.020 ahead of time.

00:37:53.460 We'll see what happens.

00:37:55.280 Wall Street Post reports,

00:37:56.020 President Biden

00:37:56.920 is finalizing plans

00:37:58.060 to endorse major changes

00:37:59.360 to the Supreme Court

00:38:00.000 in the coming weeks,

00:38:00.620 including proposals

00:38:01.260 for legislation

00:38:02.180 to establish term limits

00:38:03.440 for the justices

00:38:05.160 and an enforceable ethics code,

00:38:07.140 according to two people

00:38:07.960 briefed on the plans.

00:38:09.860 He's also weighing

00:38:10.540 whether to call

00:38:11.000 for a constitutional amendment

00:38:12.080 to eliminate broad immunity

00:38:13.380 for presidents

00:38:14.040 and other constitutional

00:38:14.820 officeholders.

00:38:16.560 All right,

00:38:17.340 I just want to focus

00:38:18.380 on this term limits

00:38:19.060 thing for a second.

00:38:21.060 This is what he's

00:38:21.760 going to call for,

00:38:22.540 allegedly,

00:38:23.640 is term limits

00:38:24.680 for the Supreme Court.

00:38:25.700 This is a truly awful idea.

00:38:27.440 I mean,

00:38:27.580 it's a terrible idea.

00:38:28.960 And it's the kind of idea

00:38:30.360 that sounds good

00:38:31.500 if you don't think about it

00:38:32.920 for more than five seconds.

00:38:34.780 But if you do,

00:38:35.840 you'll realize

00:38:36.380 that it will make

00:38:37.640 all of the things

00:38:39.700 we don't like

00:38:40.560 about the Supreme Court

00:38:41.540 worse.

00:38:43.100 So whatever problem

00:38:44.520 you see on the Supreme Court,

00:38:46.520 if it's a real problem,

00:38:48.080 this will not solve it.

00:38:50.000 This will just make

00:38:50.860 that problem worse.

00:38:52.380 And what is the big problem

00:38:55.360 on the Supreme Court?

00:38:56.120 Well, the big problem is

00:38:57.180 when the justices

00:38:58.580 make political decisions.

00:39:00.740 When they decide a case

00:39:02.080 not based on the constitutional

00:39:03.320 merits of the arguments,

00:39:04.440 but on the politics

00:39:05.280 of the situation.

00:39:06.620 Not every justice does that.

00:39:08.240 Not every decision

00:39:08.980 is politically motivated.

00:39:10.040 In fact,

00:39:10.320 there have been decisions

00:39:11.140 that were made

00:39:11.720 in total defiance

00:39:12.720 of the politics.

00:39:14.040 Overturning Roe v. Wade

00:39:14.940 is the number one example

00:39:17.080 of that.

00:39:18.560 Definitely not

00:39:19.380 a political decision.

00:39:20.240 It was made simply

00:39:20.920 because it's the right choice.

00:39:23.980 And when you're assessing

00:39:25.300 this case

00:39:25.760 on the constitutional merits,

00:39:28.500 Roe is a disaster

00:39:29.580 and it's a farce

00:39:30.880 and it needs to be overturned.

00:39:32.700 And so they did.

00:39:34.380 But when bad things

00:39:35.900 happen on the court,

00:39:37.100 it's because they're acting

00:39:38.360 as political entities,

00:39:40.200 as political actors,

00:39:42.260 not as justices.

00:39:44.620 So, the question,

00:39:47.580 does a term limit

00:39:48.560 mitigate that problem?

00:39:51.900 Well, no, of course not.

00:39:53.620 It makes it significantly worse

00:39:55.620 because now the Supreme Court

00:39:56.920 is not the end point

00:39:58.560 of your career.

00:39:59.840 It's a step

00:40:00.780 towards something else.

00:40:02.960 The justices will,

00:40:03.880 you know,

00:40:04.960 in a term limit world,

00:40:07.240 they're going to soon

00:40:08.600 be out in the world again

00:40:09.780 looking for their next gig.

00:40:10.980 That will make them

00:40:13.240 more political

00:40:14.620 in their action.

00:40:15.660 It will ensure

00:40:16.260 that they take politics

00:40:17.260 even more into account.

00:40:19.780 I mean, think about this.

00:40:20.760 You're going to have

00:40:21.280 Supreme Court justices,

00:40:22.460 if there's term limits,

00:40:23.760 whose ultimate plan

00:40:25.980 is to run for president.

00:40:29.160 What then?

00:40:29.920 What happens

00:40:30.400 when you have

00:40:31.180 Supreme Court justices

00:40:32.480 with aspirations

00:40:33.880 to run for political office

00:40:35.820 in five years

00:40:36.780 or ten years

00:40:37.700 or whatever?

00:40:38.160 Would you be able

00:40:41.520 to trust anything

00:40:42.360 they do,

00:40:42.960 any decision they make

00:40:44.020 with that

00:40:45.460 as their ultimate goal?

00:40:46.400 Of course not.

00:40:49.520 But this is obviously

00:40:50.860 a feature,

00:40:51.720 not a bug

00:40:52.340 for the left.

00:40:53.800 You know,

00:40:54.000 I am describing this

00:40:56.460 maybe somewhat naively

00:40:57.460 as the big problem

00:41:00.140 with doing term limits

00:41:01.040 for the Supreme Court.

00:41:02.000 But for them,

00:41:02.820 that's the point.

00:41:04.020 I mean,

00:41:04.260 they hear this

00:41:04.880 and they think,

00:41:05.280 well, yeah, exactly.

00:41:06.500 That's exactly

00:41:07.500 why we want term limits

00:41:08.540 because then these people

00:41:10.280 are much easier

00:41:11.160 to control.

00:41:13.160 Then our threats

00:41:14.140 mean a lot more.

00:41:17.700 Then we don't even

00:41:18.520 have to send

00:41:19.320 angry mobs

00:41:20.460 to their houses

00:41:21.040 and put their lives

00:41:22.200 in jeopardy

00:41:22.760 because now

00:41:24.520 they're going to be out

00:41:25.160 in a few years

00:41:25.960 and, hey,

00:41:26.600 if you want to have

00:41:27.120 any career outside of this,

00:41:29.120 you better stay

00:41:30.360 within the boundaries

00:41:31.200 that we set up for you.

00:41:34.480 That's what it's all about.

00:41:35.360 That's why they want

00:41:36.680 term limits

00:41:37.160 is to make,

00:41:38.780 it is not to

00:41:39.680 make the court

00:41:40.800 less political

00:41:41.400 but to make it

00:41:42.140 much more political

00:41:43.180 than it already is.

00:41:46.440 Okay,

00:41:46.960 we are going to do it.

00:41:47.560 We're going to get

00:41:47.900 to headline number five

00:41:49.840 and it's a very important one.

00:41:53.420 The singer

00:41:53.880 Ingrid Andress

00:41:54.920 performed the anthem

00:41:55.920 at the Home Run Derby

00:41:57.620 the other night

00:41:58.140 and it was so bad

00:42:01.880 that she checked herself

00:42:02.900 into rehab

00:42:03.600 the next day.

00:42:04.440 So the next day

00:42:05.620 she sent out a message

00:42:06.840 saying that she was drunk

00:42:08.200 while performing the anthem

00:42:09.660 and that's why

00:42:10.200 it was so bad

00:42:10.940 and, you know,

00:42:12.200 there was a lot of, like,

00:42:13.220 people that were upset

00:42:14.060 and so she said

00:42:16.500 that she's going to

00:42:16.940 check herself into rehab

00:42:17.800 which,

00:42:19.580 if she has a problem,

00:42:20.880 it's obviously

00:42:21.740 a good thing

00:42:22.880 that she's getting help

00:42:23.580 for it.

00:42:25.100 But let's,

00:42:26.340 and I'm not looking

00:42:26.980 to pile on

00:42:28.420 or anything here.

00:42:29.780 Actually,

00:42:30.080 I have a point

00:42:30.700 that I want to make

00:42:31.220 about this

00:42:31.840 but let's,

00:42:32.880 in order to make the point

00:42:33.640 we need to listen

00:42:34.100 to the performance

00:42:34.600 and here it is.

00:42:36.520 Oh, say can you see

00:42:42.580 by the dawn's early light

00:42:48.040 what so proudly we hailed

00:42:53.380 by the twilight's last gleaming

00:42:58.840 who'd brought stripes

00:43:01.960 and bright stars

00:43:05.200 through the perilous fight

00:43:09.900 O'er the ramparts we watched

00:43:15.440 were so gallantly streaming

00:43:20.700 And the rocket's red glare

00:43:26.460 The bombs bursting in air

00:43:31.240 Gave proof through the night

00:43:35.740 Look, it's better

00:43:38.080 It's better than I could have done

00:43:38.980 I'll say that

00:43:40.460 In fact,

00:43:42.460 I will say that

00:43:43.080 it's not even

00:43:44.000 the worst anthem performance

00:43:45.280 we've heard

00:43:45.800 It's really middle of the pack

00:43:48.300 because we've heard much worse

00:43:49.620 And that's because

00:43:51.620 the anthem

00:43:52.320 is actually very hard to sing

00:43:54.100 It's a very hard song

00:43:55.880 You're singing acapella

00:43:56.960 usually

00:43:57.460 It's not a pop song, right?

00:43:59.840 Like, this song

00:44:00.480 wasn't written

00:44:01.140 to be catchy necessarily

00:44:02.620 It's not written

00:44:03.400 to be performed

00:44:04.000 on karaoke night

00:44:04.880 at the bar

00:44:05.340 It's a tough song

00:44:08.200 I think

00:44:09.900 I'm totally tone deaf

00:44:11.320 but it seems like

00:44:13.360 it'd be a tough song

00:44:14.140 to sing

00:44:14.560 And so I always feel bad

00:44:16.660 for the people

00:44:17.020 who bombed

00:44:17.540 during the national anthem

00:44:18.400 And I'm always shocked

00:44:19.620 that anyone accepts

00:44:22.800 that gig

00:44:23.380 in the first place

00:44:24.440 because it's so

00:44:25.140 I mean,

00:44:25.520 your chances of failure

00:44:27.020 are so high

00:44:28.620 Your chances of living

00:44:31.100 on an infamy

00:44:32.040 as one of the worst

00:44:32.980 national anthem performances

00:44:33.760 It's like, rather high

00:44:34.980 Which is why

00:44:38.520 I'd like to

00:44:39.680 propose this

00:44:40.520 Because we've seen

00:44:41.940 far too many cases

00:44:42.740 of people butchering the anthem

00:44:43.840 often through no fault

00:44:44.760 of their own

00:44:45.280 They try their best

00:44:47.320 but it's just terrible

00:44:48.100 Now, this woman was drunk

00:44:50.020 she says

00:44:50.600 and, you know

00:44:51.880 so that's part of it

00:44:52.940 I think that's probably

00:44:53.480 only a partial excuse

00:44:54.560 Let's be real about that

00:44:56.340 Whitney Houston

00:44:57.020 in her prime

00:44:57.640 She could have chugged

00:44:58.760 three liters of red wine

00:45:00.020 and nailed the anthem anyway

00:45:01.980 Because if you're a great singer

00:45:03.720 I think booze probably

00:45:04.640 won't stop you

00:45:05.200 But, you know

00:45:06.740 most people are not

00:45:07.480 great singers

00:45:08.040 Even most professional singers

00:45:09.380 aren't great singers

00:45:10.420 Most of them are decent

00:45:12.260 pretty good

00:45:13.420 Most of them are not great

00:45:14.440 Then there's somebody like me

00:45:16.180 who has the singing voice

00:45:17.160 of like a

00:45:17.820 dying grizzly bear

00:45:19.420 So, most people are just

00:45:21.700 not cut out for this racket

00:45:22.820 I would say

00:45:23.360 Which is why

00:45:23.960 I would suggest

00:45:25.460 I would propose

00:45:26.280 that

00:45:27.680 we appoint

00:45:29.740 let's say

00:45:32.040 and I'm serious about this

00:45:33.400 I think we should

00:45:33.880 really consider it

00:45:34.580 We should appoint

00:45:35.780 let's say

00:45:36.200 and I'm just pulling

00:45:38.280 this number out of thin air

00:45:38.940 but let's say

00:45:39.420 five

00:45:40.200 official anthem singers

00:45:42.520 and there will be

00:45:44.120 term limits

00:45:44.600 on this office

00:45:45.320 This is not a lifetime

00:45:46.140 appointment

00:45:46.620 Let's

00:45:48.160 I'll call

00:45:48.760 and I'm just

00:45:49.220 again

00:45:49.620 spitballing here

00:45:51.080 but let's say

00:45:52.180 a ten year appointment

00:45:53.100 we appoint

00:45:55.080 five singers

00:45:55.780 and this is the

00:45:57.360 whatever

00:45:57.820 the national anthem squad

00:46:00.160 we'll think of a better name

00:46:00.960 but you know

00:46:01.640 and they handle

00:46:03.200 all the anthem duties

00:46:04.020 during their tenure

00:46:04.680 If the anthem

00:46:05.880 needs to be

00:46:06.480 needs to be performed

00:46:08.040 at any

00:46:10.100 and I think you might say

00:46:10.960 well

00:46:11.160 there's no way

00:46:11.960 if you have five singers

00:46:12.860 they can't be at every place

00:46:14.040 where the anthem

00:46:14.480 is being performed

00:46:15.100 any nationally

00:46:16.880 televised event

00:46:18.820 that begins

00:46:20.520 with the anthem

00:46:21.120 as they all should

00:46:22.800 by the way

00:46:23.500 will be handled

00:46:26.580 by one of these

00:46:28.000 official anthem singers

00:46:29.860 You know

00:46:33.540 I started thinking

00:46:34.360 about this idea

00:46:34.880 kind of as a joke

00:46:35.560 but then as I thought

00:46:36.160 more about it

00:46:36.740 I thought

00:46:37.140 well that's

00:46:37.540 we should really do that

00:46:39.200 and the national anthem

00:46:41.660 is

00:46:41.900 it's sacred to us

00:46:44.200 it is our national anthem

00:46:45.740 as Americans

00:46:46.400 and it should be treated

00:46:47.620 as such

00:46:48.160 and so we can have

00:46:50.040 a voting process

00:46:50.820 like a

00:46:51.160 it's like a

00:46:51.780 you know

00:46:52.060 a giant

00:46:52.740 it's like American Idol

00:46:54.760 basically

00:46:55.180 but much more important

00:46:56.780 and we select our five

00:46:59.040 and they're appointed

00:46:59.500 and we vote

00:47:00.380 and those are the people

00:47:01.840 they can do it

00:47:02.480 if you have a

00:47:05.500 if you do have a bad performance

00:47:06.880 if something like this happens

00:47:08.000 you go out there drunk

00:47:08.980 and you just

00:47:09.440 and you

00:47:09.860 and you completely bomb

00:47:11.160 you could be

00:47:12.360 you know

00:47:13.060 we have impeachment proceedings

00:47:14.060 that we can

00:47:14.720 resort to

00:47:15.960 if we need to

00:47:16.420 just an idea

00:47:18.040 something for us all

00:49:13.840 seems allergic to

00:49:14.760 with this membership

00:49:15.860 you get it all

00:49:16.480 shows that don't

00:49:17.380 pander to the woke mob

00:49:18.320 podcasts that make

00:49:19.240 you think

00:49:19.640 and news that isn't

00:49:20.820 sanitized by leftist

00:49:22.000 ideologies

00:49:22.500 go to dailywire.com

00:49:23.900 and use the code

00:49:24.820 fight at checkout

00:49:25.760 to get 47% off

00:49:27.880 with our presidential deal

00:49:29.220 now let's get to

00:49:30.300 our daily cancellation

00:49:31.260 for our daily cancellation

00:49:38.520 today we are

00:49:39.340 reaching back

00:49:40.420 into ancient history

00:49:41.620 all the way back

00:49:42.340 to July 9th

00:49:43.560 of 2024

00:49:44.340 now you might say

00:49:45.980 that it's only

00:49:47.120 a week ago

00:49:47.780 but in social media

00:49:48.760 time it may as well

00:49:49.600 be half a century

00:49:50.320 especially given

00:49:50.900 what has transpired

00:49:51.740 in the meantime

00:49:52.280 be that as it may

00:49:53.760 we have to talk

00:49:54.460 about this

00:49:54.900 for no other reason

00:49:55.880 than I think

00:49:57.480 it's funny

00:49:57.900 and I saw this

00:49:59.640 while I was away

00:50:00.220 on vacation last week

00:50:01.340 I made a note

00:50:03.500 that I wanted

00:50:03.960 to make fun of it

00:50:04.760 like I literally

00:50:06.640 texted that note

00:50:07.480 to myself

00:50:07.940 along with the link

00:50:08.700 make fun of this

00:50:09.800 next week

00:50:10.280 and if I make

00:50:12.260 a note to myself

00:50:12.880 I have to follow it

00:50:13.780 so I'm going to

00:50:14.320 stick to the plan

00:50:15.000 come hell or high water

00:50:16.100 when I promise

00:50:17.380 to mock something

00:50:18.120 I will mock it

00:50:19.000 that is my solemn oath

00:50:19.900 so Becky Pringle

00:50:21.740 is the president

00:50:22.480 of the National

00:50:23.120 Education Association

00:50:23.900 she gave the keynote

00:50:24.860 address at the

00:50:26.300 NEA annual convention

00:50:27.840 last week

00:50:28.640 now I didn't watch

00:50:30.040 the speech

00:50:30.460 apart from the

00:50:31.040 short clip

00:50:31.440 I'm going to play

00:50:31.980 in a moment

00:50:32.400 but from what

00:50:33.580 I understand

00:50:34.000 it was mostly

00:50:34.880 the sort of

00:50:35.440 left wing claptrap

00:50:36.560 that you would expect

00:50:37.540 from the teachers

00:50:38.220 union president

00:50:38.840 but she got a little

00:50:39.540 bit worked up

00:50:40.120 as she spoke

00:50:40.760 and that led

00:50:42.060 to this moment

00:50:43.080 at the end

00:50:44.480 of her speech

00:50:45.080 watch

00:50:45.780 we are the ones

00:50:47.980 who hold steadfast

00:50:49.540 to the belief

00:50:50.500 of the plausibility

00:50:51.880 of the possible

00:50:53.000 we are the heirs

00:50:54.800 of all

00:50:55.900 who did this work

00:50:56.980 before us

00:50:58.120 we must keep going

00:51:01.120 NEA delegates

00:51:03.380 we can do this work

00:51:05.760 we must do this work

00:51:08.180 we get to do this work

00:51:10.580 we will do this work

00:51:12.900 because our students

00:51:14.500 are depending on us

00:51:16.880 to win all the things

00:51:20.060 NEA we have to win

00:51:22.100 all the things

00:51:24.340 all the things

00:51:26.320 all the things

00:51:28.760 our colleagues

00:51:30.460 are depending on us

00:51:31.980 to win all the things

00:51:33.900 keep going NEA

00:51:35.880 to preserve our democracy

00:51:37.960 we must win

00:51:39.540 all the things

00:51:41.400 delegates

00:51:42.400 we won't

00:51:43.880 go

00:51:44.660 back

00:51:45.560 we will keep

00:51:46.720 going

00:51:47.380 forward

00:51:48.140 because we

00:51:49.420 are the NEA

00:51:51.420 we are the NEA

00:51:53.660 we are the NEA

00:51:55.940 and that's

00:51:57.720 what we do

00:51:59.220 thank you

00:52:00.300 NEA

00:52:01.100 thank you

00:52:01.960 I love you

00:52:02.840 so as you can see

00:52:05.020 a triumphant

00:52:06.200 exhilarating speech

00:52:07.640 clearly inspired

00:52:08.540 both in tone

00:52:09.340 and content

00:52:09.800 by the two great

00:52:10.680 orators of our time

00:52:12.000 Kamala Harris

00:52:13.200 and Dwight Schrute

00:52:14.040 so she begins

00:52:15.240 by declaring

00:52:15.780 and I quote

00:52:16.360 we are the ones

00:52:18.180 who hold steadfast

00:52:19.320 to the belief

00:52:19.980 of the plausibility

00:52:20.980 of the possible

00:52:21.920 the plausibility

00:52:24.980 of the possible

00:52:25.860 now many critics

00:52:27.680 of this speech

00:52:28.200 have said that this

00:52:28.780 statement makes no sense

00:52:29.880 but that's

00:52:30.380 that's not true

00:52:31.020 it does make sense

00:52:32.200 it just doesn't

00:52:33.400 mean anything

00:52:34.120 okay

00:52:34.600 it makes sense

00:52:35.460 but doesn't mean anything

00:52:36.340 there's no actual

00:52:38.200 thought or idea

00:52:39.340 being conveyed here

00:52:40.500 even though the words

00:52:41.460 do basically

00:52:42.400 fit together

00:52:43.200 and form a

00:52:44.460 legitimate sentence

00:52:45.400 so you can

00:52:45.780 you can listen to that

00:52:46.500 and say

00:52:46.880 well that's a sentence

00:52:48.520 that's a

00:52:49.940 that's a

00:52:50.240 that's a

00:52:50.580 human English

00:52:52.640 sentence

00:52:53.060 that a person

00:52:53.660 could say

00:52:54.200 sure

00:52:54.580 this again

00:52:55.840 is the Kamala Harris

00:52:56.720 strategy

00:52:57.100 and it's what

00:52:57.620 distinguishes her

00:52:58.340 brand of incoherence

00:52:59.180 from Joe Biden's

00:53:00.080 because in Biden's

00:53:01.580 case the words

00:53:02.420 don't fit together

00:53:03.660 at all

00:53:04.120 and oftentimes

00:53:04.560 the words

00:53:05.120 aren't even real words

00:53:06.280 so it's pure gibberish

00:53:08.200 but Harris

00:53:08.800 she's more interesting

00:53:10.380 she uses real words

00:53:11.620 and she combines them

00:53:13.680 in grammatically

00:53:14.560 valid ways

00:53:15.520 but it all amounts

00:53:16.460 to nothing

00:53:17.020 and same in this case

00:53:18.720 the plausibility

00:53:20.340 of the possible

00:53:21.280 technically speaking

00:53:23.280 possible things

00:53:24.300 are plausible

00:53:25.240 right

00:53:26.400 I mean

00:53:26.800 something is possible

00:53:28.320 if it could

00:53:28.980 potentially happen

00:53:29.960 something is plausible

00:53:31.960 if it's credible

00:53:32.920 or reasonable

00:53:33.660 so

00:53:34.160 you might say

00:53:36.100 that if something

00:53:36.620 could potentially occur

00:53:37.760 then it's reasonable

00:53:38.560 to believe

00:53:39.200 that it could

00:53:40.380 potentially occur

00:53:41.200 so a possible scenario

00:53:43.400 is also a plausible

00:53:44.200 scenario

00:53:44.680 there's no logical

00:53:46.620 contradiction

00:53:47.100 but there also

00:53:47.820 isn't any

00:53:48.220 substantive message

00:53:49.280 being communicated

00:53:50.480 there's no reason

00:53:51.480 to say it

00:53:52.200 okay

00:53:53.260 there's no

00:53:53.620 there's no point

00:53:54.480 it's just

00:53:55.000 it's just a thing

00:53:55.980 that she said

00:53:56.480 she might as well

00:53:57.680 have stood up there

00:53:58.580 and declared

00:53:59.100 we hold steadfast

00:54:00.660 to the belief

00:54:01.200 in the bigness

00:54:02.080 of things

00:54:02.620 that are large

00:54:03.400 now that isn't

00:54:05.320 wrong exactly

00:54:06.160 big things

00:54:08.220 are large

00:54:08.920 sure

00:54:09.320 but it also

00:54:10.580 isn't any kind

00:54:11.240 of insight

00:54:11.840 it isn't anything

00:54:12.560 at all

00:54:13.000 and from there

00:54:14.160 we're told

00:54:14.520 that the teachers

00:54:14.980 union members

00:54:15.540 are heirs

00:54:16.280 to those

00:54:16.880 who did this

00:54:17.640 work before them

00:54:18.520 therefore they must

00:54:20.140 do this work

00:54:20.720 they can do this

00:54:21.500 work

00:54:21.820 they get to do

00:54:23.000 this work

00:54:23.520 they will do

00:54:24.720 this work

00:54:25.260 they will work

00:54:26.720 to do this work

00:54:27.560 because the work

00:54:28.840 they're doing

00:54:29.260 is work

00:54:29.860 that must be

00:54:30.320 worked on

00:54:30.720 and why

00:54:32.460 well because

00:54:32.960 they have to

00:54:33.500 win all the

00:54:34.020 things

00:54:34.400 which things

00:54:35.380 the things

00:54:36.560 how many

00:54:38.120 of the things

00:54:38.660 all of them

00:54:39.380 not most

00:54:41.300 of the things

00:54:41.740 no

00:54:42.000 no

00:54:42.600 no

00:54:42.840 not 95%

00:54:44.140 of the things

00:54:44.660 all of the things

00:54:46.440 that's what

00:54:47.720 Becky Pringle

00:54:48.300 has declared

00:54:48.920 and she has

00:54:50.000 declared it

00:54:50.400 loudly and confidently

00:54:51.180 and heroically

00:54:51.840 what exactly

00:54:53.300 is she declaring

00:54:54.220 well she's declaring

00:54:55.580 her declarations

00:54:56.340 indeed she holds

00:54:57.040 steadfast to the

00:54:57.900 belief that

00:54:58.920 declarations must

00:54:59.960 be declared

00:55:00.640 now although there

00:55:03.060 is nothing at all

00:55:03.640 being said here

00:55:04.420 we can still learn

00:55:05.340 something or at

00:55:06.020 least we can have

00:55:07.260 what we already knew

00:55:07.980 reinforced

00:55:08.400 which is that

00:55:09.980 our schools

00:55:10.420 are being run

00:55:11.200 by the shallowest

00:55:12.300 most vapid people

00:55:13.600 who've ever lived

00:55:14.540 I mean we focus

00:55:15.400 so much on the

00:55:16.040 ideological and

00:55:16.840 political bias

00:55:17.520 and indoctrination

00:55:18.220 in our schools

00:55:18.720 and for good reason

00:55:19.400 that is the most

00:55:21.120 significant problem

00:55:21.880 plaguing the

00:55:22.340 education system

00:55:23.040 it is the thing

00:55:24.440 before anything else

00:55:25.100 that ensures that

00:55:25.700 I will never send

00:55:26.320 my kids to public

00:55:27.000 school but

00:55:27.440 the second biggest

00:55:28.740 problem and not

00:55:29.380 necessarily a very

00:55:30.180 distant second

00:55:30.840 is the total

00:55:31.760 intellectual bankruptcy

00:55:33.060 of the people

00:55:33.860 in charge

00:55:34.420 and that clip

00:55:35.720 in many ways

00:55:36.260 encapsulates the whole

00:55:37.280 public school

00:55:37.880 experience

00:55:38.420 it drags on

00:55:39.400 feels like it will

00:55:40.340 never end

00:55:40.920 and by the end of it

00:55:42.500 you aren't sure

00:55:43.000 what the point of it

00:55:43.600 even was

00:55:44.120 there's one other

00:55:45.880 thing to notice

00:55:46.440 in the speech

00:55:46.920 she says that

00:55:47.580 one of the reasons

00:55:49.000 that they must win

00:55:50.160 all the things

00:55:50.960 whatever the things

00:55:51.880 are that must be won

00:55:52.840 they must win them all

00:55:54.140 is because it's

00:55:55.660 what is necessary

00:55:57.280 in order to preserve

00:55:58.280 our democracy

00:55:59.120 now you might say

00:56:01.180 that's just another

00:56:01.780 slogan that she

00:56:02.620 randomly tossed

00:56:03.440 into this buffet

00:56:04.440 of vacuous platitudes

00:56:05.720 and for the most part

00:56:07.160 that's all it is

00:56:08.220 on the left

00:56:10.260 the word democracy

00:56:11.360 has come to mean

00:56:12.260 all the stuff we want

00:56:13.560 so to preserve

00:56:15.080 our democracy

00:56:15.680 therefore is to get

00:56:16.580 all the stuff they want

00:56:17.420 rather than the stuff

00:56:18.080 they don't want

00:56:18.580 but if we were to look

00:56:20.300 for any deeper meaning

00:56:21.300 which is perhaps

00:56:22.020 a fool's errand

00:56:22.700 I think the deeper

00:56:24.660 meaning would be this

00:56:25.360 the left supports

00:56:27.340 democracy

00:56:28.040 when and only when

00:56:30.120 it results

00:56:31.540 in left-wing policies

00:56:32.940 and helps to fulfill

00:56:33.860 left-wing goals

00:56:34.900 so it is not

00:56:36.460 democracy itself

00:56:37.620 that they're so fond of

00:56:38.560 but rather the kind

00:56:39.540 of culture and country

00:56:40.480 that democracy

00:56:41.600 might create

00:56:42.600 and this is why

00:56:44.100 they say for instance

00:56:44.820 that a ballot measure

00:56:46.460 that protects

00:56:47.060 so-called

00:56:47.780 quote-unquote

00:56:48.420 abortion rights

00:56:49.300 is a win for democracy

00:56:50.960 but Trump being

00:56:52.920 elected president

00:56:53.680 is somehow

00:56:54.600 an attack on democracy

00:56:55.900 they're both democracy

00:56:58.080 but one is the result

00:57:00.020 they want

00:57:00.420 and the other isn't

00:57:01.180 so democracy
