00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Joe Biden is officially out of the race, but does he even
00:00:03.560 know it? And how can the Democrats claim to be the party of democracy after pulling off a coup
00:00:07.700 against their own nominee? We'll talk about all that today. Also, assuming Kamala Harris is the
00:00:12.700 nominee, will she be an easier candidate for Trump to beat? By her own merits, yes, but she's never
00:00:17.420 done anything by her own merits and she won't start now. Also, the head of the Secret Service
00:00:20.900 testifies on Capitol Hill and a pop star reveals her plan to rent three wombs at the same time to
00:00:26.220 have triplets. Yet another reason why surrogacy is an abomination. We'll talk about all that
00:00:29.900 and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:56.220 Biden finally called it quits, but the left's assault on America is far from over. This
00:01:00.780 election is pivotal and you need the truth now more than ever. That's where we come in. The Daily

00:01:16.120 the future. Saudi Arabia recently ended its 50-year petrodollar deal with the U.S., which has the
00:01:22.000 potential to weaken the U.S. dollar. Since 1974, Saudi Arabia has sold oil solely in U.S. dollars,
00:01:27.260 which was huge for our global economic dominance. Now they want other options. If there's less demand
00:01:31.860 for the dollar, then what happens to its value? You can do the math on that. It's for reasons like
00:01:36.060 this that I feel like it's important to diversify some of your savings into gold, and you can do that

00:02:15.160 of miles from the White House, was just deposed by tweets. There was no speech or press conference.
00:02:20.800 There was no photo or video of Joe Biden making any kind of announcement. Instead, early in the
00:02:26.300 afternoon on Sunday, Biden's Twitter account, an account we know that he does not control and likely
00:02:30.600 doesn't know how to use, posted a letter bearing what appeared to be Biden's digital signature
00:02:35.660 declaring that he will not seek re-election. About a half an hour later, Biden's Twitter account
00:02:40.620 posted a separate message endorsing Kamala Harris as Biden's successor without providing any indication
00:02:45.960 as to why the endorsement wasn't included in the letter. Biden's chief of staff informed cabinet
00:02:50.680 officials of the news. And at no point on Sunday did we see or hear Biden himself. The man who won
00:02:58.020 15 million votes in primaries all over the country just a few months ago, the man who said repeatedly
00:03:02.640 that he was going to run for re-election as recently as a few days ago, was nowhere to be found.
00:03:08.260 All we know is that Biden has now abandoned the presidential race, whether he realizes it or not.
00:03:12.700 If it was a shock to you when you found out that Biden dropped out, imagine what a shock it will
00:03:16.920 be to Biden when he finds out that Biden dropped out. Following the attempts to imprison and assassinate
00:03:22.160 Biden's primary political opponent, what happened on Sunday moves us even closer to third world status.
00:03:28.960 America is lurching towards an unstable, unpredictable system of government when presidential
00:03:34.400 candidates can disappear and then quit without even appearing in public. And that's after the media
00:03:40.360 and the party machinery conspired for years to hide the candidates' progressive cognitive impairment.
00:03:45.540 This is all what decline looks like. And we cannot lose sight of that amid all the partisan political
00:03:52.340 drama. At the same time, as abrupt and frankly disturbing as it was, it needs to be said that Biden's
00:03:58.700 farewell was in some ways, in many ways really, a fitting capstone for his career. In his five decades
00:04:05.880 in political office, Biden was never known for making his own decisions. He had no overarching
00:04:10.440 political philosophy, no America first style trademark. Instead, Biden was a craven, spineless
00:04:17.040 servant to the powerful. He was a man who did what he was told again and again and again.
00:04:23.880 As a favor to the bank that employed his son, for example, Biden spearheaded legislation that made
00:04:28.280 it harder for people to discharge credit card debt bankruptcy. That legislation, of course,
00:04:32.640 flew in the face of Biden's self-described status as a hero to the working class. But Biden never
00:04:37.640 cared about that. He cared about following orders, especially when following those orders enriched
00:04:41.980 himself or his family. This was Biden's calling card and party elites understood it well. When Biden
00:04:48.960 announced his candidacy for the White House back in 2019, at first, it went about as well as his
00:04:53.500 previous runs in 1988 and 2008. Nobody cared. There was no enthusiasm whatsoever. He was pulling
00:04:59.420 behind Elizabeth Warren in Iowa. Then when Bernie Sanders won the popular vote in both the Iowa
00:05:04.600 caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, the leaders of the party realized that they had to coalesce
00:05:10.060 behind Biden. Bernie Sanders was a radical they couldn't control. Biden would do what he was told.
00:05:17.360 Yesterday, after weeks of prodding that spilled out into the open, Biden again did just that.
00:05:23.420 He followed orders because he had no other choice. And to make this indignity even worse,
00:05:28.440 they got rid of him on National Ice Cream Day, if you can believe it. And, you know, that's not to
00:05:32.960 say that we should be crying any tears of sympathy for Biden. Far from it. He may have just been
00:05:37.340 shivved, but he's a guy who's done plenty of shivving himself in his political career. More
00:05:42.160 importantly, he just ran the most disastrously incompetent administration in American history.
00:05:47.260 He opened the southern border, politicized the justice system, oversaw the outbreak of war in
00:05:53.220 Eastern Europe, a war he suggested he could prevent. And now he's being dragged out of the
00:05:58.380 White House in total humiliation. Biden has only himself to blame for this turn of events. He
00:06:04.320 could have could have chosen to be a one term president a year ago, made the announcement a
00:06:09.160 year ago that he's not running for reelection and retained his dignity or whatever little dignity
00:06:15.220 he had to begin with. Indeed, Biden indicated four years ago that his only ambition was to be a
00:06:20.120 transitional president. So he'd already set the stage for that. All he had to do was say, hey,
00:06:24.040 like I said all along, I'm not running for reelection. But instead, of course, he clung to
00:06:29.380 power desperately. Like all political leaders in his generation have, none of them have left with
00:06:35.480 dignity. They all cling on to the very last moment. And in his case, he hung on until party leaders
00:06:41.320 had to pry out of his cold, mostly dead hands. Now he drops out in disgrace. The media has a lot of
00:06:48.240 propaganda, as expected, about how he's doing a selfless, sacrificial thing and all this kind of
00:06:54.200 stuff. But we all know that's not the case. We all know he dropped out because he had to.
00:06:59.460 And he will be remembered by history as the old, doddering, senile fool who was shuffled off the
00:07:05.000 stage against his will. That will be his legacy. Now, whether you call it a coup or a collapse or both,
00:07:12.040 it all began in earnest two months ago. And it's worth going back to remember this.
00:07:17.400 If you can think back to that long ago, ancient history, when Biden's handlers posted this video
00:07:22.480 on social media challenging Donald Trump to a debate. Now, this video lasted just 14 seconds,
00:07:29.100 but it included five jump cuts, which didn't exactly inspire confidence at the time. Watch.
00:07:36.000 Donald Trump lost two debates to me in 2020. Since then, he hadn't shown up for debate.
00:07:40.340 Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. Well, make my day, pal. I'll even do it twice.
00:07:46.380 So let's pick the dates, Donald. I hear you're free on Wednesdays.
00:07:50.280 Well, that is a video that should be inducted into the This Didn't Age Well Hall of Fame.
00:07:55.560 The decision to challenge Trump to a debate before the convention will go down as one of the greatest
00:07:59.920 political blunders in American history. No presidential debate has ever taken place so
00:08:03.780 early in the election year. They've all happened after the nominating convention. The previous record
00:08:08.000 holder for earliest presidential debate was in September, and this Trump to Biden debate took place
00:08:13.520 in June. Now, apparently, apparently, Biden's team decided to front load the debate early in the cycle
00:08:19.460 in order to head off concerns that Biden was too old for the job. They wanted him to put those concerns
00:08:24.500 to rest before he deteriorated any further. That is the benign interpretation of what happened anyway.
00:08:30.740 Of course, especially given what we know now, there's also the very real possibility that Biden's team
00:08:34.700 sent him out there pre-nominating convention in order so that he would fall apart because they
00:08:40.600 wanted to sabotage him. Once everybody saw the extent of his decline, they could move forward with
00:08:45.320 the process of picking a new candidate. And that's the conspiracy theory there anyway. It could very
00:08:49.900 well be true, though it may ascribe more intelligence and foresight to Democrat operatives than they
00:08:55.060 deserve. I don't know. But, you know, nothing's off the table at this point, as I've been saying now for
00:08:59.320 a couple of weeks. In any event, that process to get rid of him is underway now and it's already
00:09:06.900 completed. And there's a lot of very dark irony involved here, because after lecturing us for the
00:09:12.800 last four years about the sanctity of our democratic system, Democrat Party elites are currently subverting
00:09:18.460 the will of their own voters. They're pushing the candidate chosen by the voters aside in favor of
00:09:23.820 Kamala Harris, who's barely any more popular than Biden is. It was a bloodless coup. Well, maybe
00:09:30.780 bloodless, depending on who exactly was responsible for what happened last Saturday. We don't know.
00:09:35.680 But whatever it was, it was terrifyingly efficient. It took them only three weeks to complete.
00:09:41.240 And already major donors have thrown their support behind Harris. Delegates from several states have
00:09:45.820 said they'll support Harris. MSNBC's talking heads have declared that the outcome is preordained.
00:09:50.240 Harris, who has performed, performed so poorly in her own presidential run that she dropped out
00:09:54.820 before a single primary took place. But she will be the Democrat Party's nominee for president. She is
00:10:01.060 their great hope now. Watch. But now the DNC and the Democratic Party has to run, they're going to run
00:10:08.900 a process, is my understanding. And the process is going to be, the goal of it is to make the vice
00:10:16.560 president look strong and be strong at the end of the process. So that means that's what we're going
00:10:21.420 to see over the next couple of days. We'll learn a lot more about what that looks like.
00:10:24.940 Whether or not the Democrats, in some organized way, try to create some semblance of a primary rather
00:10:32.200 than just endorsing Vice President Harris, we shall see. But it's at this point, it feels to me like the
00:10:40.540 the process is potentially nebulous, but the outcome is not.
00:10:44.880 The process is potentially nebulous, but the outcome is not, we're told. And the goal of the
00:10:50.900 process, we're told, is to make the VP look strong. Now, these are remarkable statements coming from the
00:10:57.140 network that spent the last four years telling us that Donald Trump is the sworn enemy of democracy.
00:11:02.260 They're now crowning a nominee behind closed doors. They're not talking about a debate or even an open
00:11:08.040 convention where different candidates can make their pitch to voters. Now, that would be the
00:11:13.060 process you'd expect in a party that took democracy seriously. I mean, if democracy is your great value,
00:11:17.900 if democracy is sacred, then this would be a perfect opportunity to put democracy on display.
00:11:26.120 But evidently, it's not the process that Democrats are going to go with. Instead,
00:11:30.340 they're treating the convention like a PR opportunity to promote the candidate chosen by the elites.
00:11:34.900 And nothing like this has ever happened before. Only two Democrat presidents, Harry Truman and Lyndon
00:11:40.520 Johnson, made the decision in an election year that they didn't want to seek re-election.
00:11:45.040 Prior to bowing out, both Truman and Johnson had openly acknowledged that it might be a good idea
00:11:49.440 to leave the race. In contrast, again, to Biden, who up until like three days ago was determined to
00:11:55.860 stay in the race. Johnson gave a 40-minute long address from the White House explaining his decision
00:12:01.340 in full. And both Truman and Johnson left the race in March, in the middle of the primary season,
00:12:06.540 giving Democrats a chance to pick another candidate. By contrast, Biden has insisted up until this bizarre
00:12:11.980 tweet on Sunday that he's the best candidate for the job. Biden stayed in the race until mid-July,
00:12:19.800 didn't participate in any primary debates because the DNC wouldn't allow them. And now here we are.
00:12:25.400 So now it appears the party has decided that it simply won't have a contested primary. There just
00:12:30.900 won't be one at all. Voters will take whatever they get. And by the way, back in 2015, when Biden
00:12:37.400 announced that he wasn't going to seek the presidency, he delivered a Rose Garden address explaining why he
00:12:42.420 didn't want to run. This time around, as president, Joe Biden is missing in action. I mean, it's all
00:12:48.900 completely unprecedented, every part of it. But apparently it's also been decided that Biden will
00:12:54.960 remain as the president for the rest of his term, even though everybody, including Biden, now admits
00:12:59.080 he lacks the cognitive ability and physical stamina to run for re-election. We have a president who can't
00:13:04.900 complete his own sentences or stay awake past four in the afternoon. And all of our enemies all over
00:13:09.380 the world know that. China, which has been eyeing an invasion of Taiwan for several years, is certainly
00:13:13.560 aware of Biden's condition at this point. What exactly is stopping them from taking over the world's
00:13:18.660 most important semiconductor manufacturers in Taiwan tomorrow? I mean, whoever's running the
00:13:24.660 country right now, it's not Biden. It may not be anyone. The party of democracy has concealed
00:13:31.400 Biden's cognitive impairment from voters for years. And now these impairments have advanced to a degree
00:13:36.460 that's totally unsustainable. Obviously, that's a massive threat to national security. We simply cannot
00:13:42.300 have a president for the next six months who has publicly admitted to his own incompetence
00:13:48.640 and mental incapacitation. Now, that incompetence and mental incapacitation was already a problem
00:13:53.800 prior to this. But when the president himself comes out and says, hey, guys, I can't do this anymore
00:13:58.580 and he stays in office. Well, then we're entering one of the most dangerous times
00:14:04.780 in recent American history or not so recent. At the same time, there are some indications that
00:14:11.840 Biden may not be around much longer. Take a look at this statement that Joe Biden's brother,
00:14:16.760 which was released shortly after the Biden dropped out. Take a look at what he had to say. Watch.
00:14:24.120 CBS News had a brief conversation with Frank Biden, one of President Biden's two younger brothers. And
00:14:30.900 here's what he told us. He said, I'm incredibly proud of my brother. Selfishly, I will have him back to enjoy
00:14:37.700 whatever time we have left. He is a genuine hero. Country over self. It sounds corny in our cynical
00:14:45.060 political environment, but he nor I are cynical. The goal remains the same. Defeat Trump and continue
00:14:50.880 the work that Joe has done. So that is Biden's brother saying that he hopes to enjoy whatever time
00:14:56.440 we have left with Joe. That's either extremely poor wording under the circumstances or it's a sign
00:15:04.160 that Biden has some kind of serious terminal illness. Now, for the record, according to CBS,
00:15:08.880 someone on the Biden team responded to this claim from Biden's brother. And they responded by saying
00:15:13.920 that it isn't true and that the brother, quote, suffers from alcoholism. Now, that detail would seem
00:15:20.300 to be completely irrelevant and unnecessary, but this is the state of things. I mean, they're all just
00:15:24.120 tearing each other apart. Don't listen to that old drunk seems to be the comeback from the Biden camp.
00:15:29.980 Now, of course, if you listen to the White House doctors, there's absolutely nothing wrong with
00:15:36.480 Biden, even though we all know that's not true. At this point, it's clear that a team of physicians
00:15:41.660 independent of the White House needs to conduct a full physical and neurological exam on Biden
00:15:46.440 to determine the actual state of his health. And if Biden won't leave office voluntarily,
00:15:52.100 then it needs to be removed under the 25th Amendment. That's the constitutional way to oust a
00:15:57.180 president who can't serve. What Democrats are doing has no precedent in history or in law. And by the
00:16:02.360 way, when I say that he should be ousted with the 25th Amendment, I don't even know if that would be
00:16:09.340 politically the most advantageous to Republicans, because then you have Harris, who's now a sitting
00:16:15.460 president. Does that help her re-election or her election chances? I'm not sure. It might not even
00:16:21.780 benefit Republicans politically to oust him, but it's just truly for the good of the country. It's
00:16:26.820 just not safe. It's not good at all. It's a terrible thing to have a guy in the White House who
00:16:32.700 everybody knows is incapacitated and who has admitted to it effectively. Now, if Harris is indeed the new
00:16:39.640 nominee, it would be, we should say, a poetic way for us to end this year of reckoning with the madness
00:16:46.620 of DEI, because it concludes with the DEI vice president becoming the nominee, despite not
00:16:52.040 receiving a single vote. The media is saying, well, this is, it's good for her to be the nominee
00:16:58.200 because the ticket, people have supported the ticket. You know, they say they support the ticket.
00:17:02.040 Everybody knows you support the guy on top of the ticket. Nobody really cares that much about the
00:17:05.980 vice president. So that doesn't mean anything. She has not gotten any votes at all. It's quite fitting
00:17:13.000 that the first black, well, sort of black female presidential nominee was handed the job and didn't
00:17:19.840 earn it. I remember that Joe Biden said he select a woman to be vice president and he did. So he was
00:17:25.020 just fulfilling that obligation that he set up for himself. Let's not forget that she began her career
00:17:31.800 by having an affair with a powerful man 30 years older than she is. So she's never earned anything
00:17:37.420 through her own merit. And this nomination, if it happens, will be no different. Democrats can
00:17:44.360 pretend this isn't true. They can call you racist for pointing it out. They can call you sexist, but
00:17:48.140 it's painfully obvious that Harris lacks the IQ and the competence to lead this country. The Biden
00:17:55.500 administration put her in charge of the border, which is a complete disaster. Then they sent her to
00:17:59.940 Europe to help avert war between Russia and Ukraine. We all know how that turned out. She also suggested
00:18:05.420 that it might be a good idea to abolish both ICE, the Immigration Enforcement Agency, as well as the
00:18:09.740 entire concept of private health insurance. She suggested that terrorists like the Boston
00:18:13.900 Marathon bomber should be able to vote in our elections. And that's the extent of her activities
00:18:19.020 while in office or campaigning for office. And the rest of the time she's cackling like a buffoon,
00:18:23.700 talking like a child or bragging about her pronouns. Watch.
00:18:28.000 Ukraine is a country in Europe. It exists next to another country called Russia. Russia is a bigger
00:18:37.820 country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So
00:18:44.240 basically that's wrong.
00:18:46.900 Good afternoon. I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion
00:18:53.120 about some of the most pressing issues of our time.
00:18:59.780 I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are she and her. I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit.
00:19:07.540 Anna. Thank you, guys. And my pronouns are she, her, and hers.
00:19:12.080 She, her, and hers.
00:19:14.680 Mine, too.
00:19:16.720 All right.
00:19:17.200 Now, as tempting as it is to mock Harris for being unintelligent and annoying, which she is,
00:19:23.540 Republicans do need to be careful here. They would make a grave mistake by underestimating the
00:19:29.420 potential threat a Harris candidacy might pose. Sure, she's an unremarkable midwit prone to saying
00:19:34.160 weird and baffling things. But she's also young, comparatively. I mean, she's 59, which counts as
00:19:39.760 young now in politics. And she has both the gender and the race card to play.
00:19:44.620 Right. That, along with a corporate media ready and eager to act as her campaign staff,
00:19:50.220 that all makes her a formidable challenge for Trump. I mean, it's nothing to take lightly.
00:19:56.000 And once Harris takes over, of course, she's not going to be running things either. Her staff will.
00:20:01.160 And the policy agenda of those staffers would be the same kind of identity-based communist
00:20:05.680 ideology that nearly destroyed this country four years ago during the BLM riots, when Harris was
00:20:09.860 raising money to bail out the rioters, by the way.
00:20:12.200 During those riots, Harris uploaded this video on social media,
00:20:16.360 explaining her goals for the country if she ever took power. Watch.
00:20:21.520 So there's a big difference between equality and equity.
00:20:25.100 Equality suggests, oh, everyone should get the same amount.
00:20:28.940 The problem with that, not everybody's starting out from the same place.
00:20:33.000 So if we're all getting the same amount, but you started out back there and I started out over here,
00:20:37.460 we could get the same amount, but you're still going to be that far back behind me.
00:20:42.760 It's about giving people the resources and the support they need so that everyone can be
00:20:49.300 on equal footing and then compete on equal footing.
00:20:53.960 Equitable treatment means we all end up at the same place.
00:20:57.280 So equity, according to Kamala Harris, means that everyone ends up in the same place.
00:21:07.800 There could be no high achievers.
00:21:09.260 There could be no students who get into good colleges because they worked hard.
00:21:13.220 There could be no doctors who get hired by good hospitals because they're the most competent.
00:21:17.740 Or lawyers who get hired by good law firms because they have the highest LSAT scores.
00:21:21.860 Harris' vision for America is one where everyone ends up in the same place and where merit is irrelevant.
00:21:30.120 This is an ideology that, taken to its logical conclusion, destroys economies, kills millions of people,
00:21:36.640 destroys entire countries.
00:21:38.520 And we know that because it's been tried before.
00:21:41.740 But Harris wants to try it again because at every stage in her life,
00:21:44.880 merit has been completely irrelevant to her climb through the ranks.
00:21:48.260 And through a combination of corrupt party maneuvering and identity politics,
00:21:53.260 she's now closer than ever to riding her own mediocrity into the Oval Office.
00:21:59.380 Democrats know she's terrible.
00:22:01.800 That's why they don't want to give their own voters the chance to disrupt her nomination in any way.
00:22:08.280 And it's why in November, unless we want to complete our dissent into the third world,
00:22:12.800 Americans must reject her as forcefully as we were going to reject Joe Biden.
00:22:19.820 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:22:27.040 You ever think to yourself, how can I work this hard and still be in debt?
00:22:30.460 Piles of overdue bills, the threatening phone calls, and never having money to do anything.
00:22:34.760 It's overwhelming.

00:23:09.160 That's zapmydebt.com.
00:23:11.880 So Kamala Harris is, of course, not the official nominee yet.
00:23:15.400 I'd say her chances are about 99.9% at this point.
00:23:19.340 Only because it's clear that the same forces who push Biden out have selected her and they're the ones who decide.
00:23:26.360 Doesn't matter what the voters want.
00:23:27.820 And as mentioned in the opening monologue, already Harris has been endorsed by dozens of national Democrat politicians.
00:23:35.000 The Clintons came out and endorsed her within minutes of Biden dropping out.
00:23:38.740 The donors are apparently all in.
00:23:40.540 She's raised like $50 million since the Biden announcement.
00:23:43.320 The media claims that those are grassroots donations, which, yeah, sure.
00:23:48.700 But more importantly, as far as I know, nobody else has thrown their hat into the ring.
00:23:53.660 And at this point, it would take somebody with real guts, like a true insurgent type to raise their hand and say, hey, you know, I want to not so fast.
00:24:04.360 I don't think anyone like that exists in the Democrat Party, at least not anybody with a high enough profile to potentially pull it off.
00:24:15.400 So it looks like it'll be Harris.
00:24:17.640 And if it's Harris, we all know what that means.
00:24:20.380 It means that the whole campaign will be about race and gender.
00:24:24.920 Right. Vote for Harris or you're a racist misogynist.
00:24:27.040 That's the whole campaign.
00:24:28.300 And we all know that.
00:24:29.680 In fact, it's already starting.
00:24:30.680 I'll give you just one example of many from the past 12 hours.
00:24:34.280 Reuters has this headline with Kamala Harris.
00:24:36.740 Democrats would bet against U.S. history of sexism and racism.
00:24:41.340 The article says the Democratic Party will be taking a historic gamble if it now turns to Vice President Kamala Harris to become its presidential candidate.
00:24:51.100 Betting that a black woman can overcome racism, sexism and her own missteps as a politician to defeat Republican Donald Trump.
00:24:56.420 In more than two centuries of democracy, American voters have elected only one black president and never a woman, a record that makes even some black voters wonder if Harris can crash through the hardest ceiling in U.S. politics.
00:25:09.200 Will her race and gender be an issue?
00:25:10.980 Absolutely, said LaTosha Brown, a political strategist and co-founder of Black Voters Matter Fund.
00:25:15.520 But despite earning praise in the last few weeks for her strong defense of Biden, some Democrats remain concerned about Harris's shaky first two years in office, short-lived campaign for the 2020 Democratic nomination, and perhaps most of all, the weight of a long history of racial and gender discrimination in the United States.
00:25:30.800 You see what they're doing here, which is very funny, that they admit that, well, yeah, she's incompetent and she's done a terrible job, but, you know, mainly it's that America is racist and sexist.
00:25:46.460 So if she ends up failing and she loses the election, they've set it up so they can, of course, say, oh, it's because America is racist and sexist.
00:25:59.620 But couldn't it also be that people have noticed what you call her shaky time as vice president?
00:26:06.580 I mean, that potential explanation exists, but we know ahead of time that if she loses the election, it won't be because of that.
00:26:18.660 And then it goes on and on about America's history of racism and sexism and so on.
00:26:24.300 So there are two things I want to say about this, and we'll obviously be revisiting this topic because there's a lot to be said about it.
00:26:29.180 But for now, first of all, just to kind of reiterate a point, because I think it's important, this word of caution, that it would be very foolish to assume that Harris is not a threat to Trump,
00:26:41.260 that her candidacy is a big joke, that Trump will win easily and so on.
00:26:46.640 We should not assume that.
00:26:49.120 Yes, Harris is a bumbling idiot with no accomplishments to speak of, but that doesn't necessarily matter.
00:26:54.260 The media, which still has an enormous amount of power to shape narratives, will set to work, as they already have, to shape this, you know, to shape her into this messianic figure,
00:27:07.800 you know, this savior figure, a woman who has come to save us from white supremacy and sexism and all the rest of it.
00:27:14.540 And that propaganda, it's hard to judge sometimes because that kind of propaganda just falls totally flat, probably for you if you're watching the show.
00:27:21.600 It obviously falls flat for me. I just laugh at it.
00:27:24.920 But that's not the case for everybody.
00:27:28.320 There's plenty of people in this country who will see that and be convinced by it and will be successfully energized because of it.
00:27:38.620 You know, I've heard the claim, very common claim on the right anyway, that actually a Harris campaign will be easier for Trump to beat than Biden.
00:27:49.260 But I think that that's, I don't think that's correct.
00:27:53.960 Now, Harris of 2024 would be easier to beat than Biden of 2020 or Biden of 2016 if he had gotten in.
00:28:07.460 That's true.
00:28:11.380 But Trump wasn't running against that Biden, but Trump was running against the Biden who can't who can't speak at all.
00:28:16.580 You know, we joke about how Harris can't speak, but she can't.
00:28:19.440 I mean, she can't actually what she's saying doesn't make any sense, but she can't actually get the words out.
00:28:23.940 So she's got that going for her at least.
00:28:25.740 But I think more importantly, there was just there was just no like with Biden re-election, there was there was no energy.
00:28:35.300 There was no enthusiasm.
00:28:38.020 The media couldn't even find a way to generate enthusiasm, as we know, which is why they gave up on him and pushed him out instead.
00:28:46.040 But with Harris, yeah, by all rights, by all merits, there's nothing to be excited about.
00:28:54.660 But there are certain things here that the media can latch on to to try to generate excitement in a totally artificial, disingenuous way.
00:29:05.500 But there's there's something there.
00:29:06.900 And it's really it's all about just identity.
00:29:08.560 It's woman, not white, young, you know, again, 59, but young by comparison.
00:29:16.040 So we have to we have to be realist about it.
00:29:18.080 I'm seeing a lot of anti-realism on social media right now.
00:29:20.780 For example, Kim Klayson tweeted yesterday that that President Trump will garner a larger portion of the black vote than Harris will.
00:29:31.880 Which is just fantasy.
00:29:33.580 It's wish casting.
00:29:35.600 A Republican nominee hasn't even come close to that in generations.
00:29:39.060 The idea that one will finally pull it off while running against a non-white female is just pure delusion.
00:29:46.260 It's not going to happen.
00:29:47.040 You have to understand and acknowledge that not because we want to be pessimistic or fatalistic, not because we're conceding defeat.
00:29:52.840 Obviously, all the smart money is still on Trump in this thing.
00:29:56.900 Don't get me wrong.
00:29:57.520 But we have to be realistic about it because we have to employ an effective strategy that is grounded in reality.
00:30:03.620 And there is no effective strategy except one that is grounded in reality.
00:30:08.620 And that brings me to the second point, which is which is this, that Harris's whole campaign will be about diversity.
00:30:18.000 Right. Race and gender, diversity, equity, inclusion.
00:30:22.600 I mean, it will be the DEI campaign.
00:30:26.480 Also, abortion is going to be a big part of it, which falls into the gender category for them.
00:30:32.200 And the Republican instinct, and I'm already seeing some of this, and this is what worries me, because the Republican instinct will be to pander even more to women and minorities in order to counteract all of that.
00:30:46.060 Right. But that's the wrong move.
00:30:47.280 That's a losing battle.
00:30:48.740 That is a fool's errand.
00:30:50.400 You are not going to out pander a minority female Democrat politician.
00:30:56.240 You're not going to do it.
00:30:57.660 You cannot win that pandering battle.
00:31:00.120 You just can't.
00:31:00.980 It's not possible.
00:31:03.060 And if you try.
00:31:05.880 You'll be fighting the battle on her field, on her terms, the way that she wants.
00:31:12.320 You'd be doing her a massive favor.
00:31:14.020 You know, if Trump comes out and says, no, I'm the one, I'm really the one who's, who, who, who cares the most about black people and minorities.
00:31:26.940 It's me.
00:31:27.740 Like that kind of thing.
00:31:29.520 Trump comes out with that.
00:31:30.760 Harris is sitting there like, thank God.
00:31:32.640 Thank God.
00:31:33.420 This is the, this is the tag he's taking.
00:31:36.160 She wouldn't be thanking God, but whoever she thinks.
00:31:38.440 You can't win that way.
00:31:43.000 So rather than pander.
00:31:45.240 Now, does that mean that you come out and say, ah, we don't need, we don't need any votes from women and black people?
00:31:50.120 No, thanks.
00:31:50.700 Obviously not.
00:31:51.460 But no, you just don't pander.
00:31:55.240 This is, this is all the more reason to not do it.
00:31:57.280 It's all the more reason to not run around, like bragging about all the quote unquote black jobs you created while saying nothing about white jobs.
00:32:05.800 Right.
00:32:06.260 Like listing all the groups you're helping, but specifically not mentioning white people.
00:32:11.300 Well, that's what I mean by the pandering.
00:32:13.180 Okay.
00:32:13.460 And that kind of tactic, I don't think it's a, a, an effective tactic, even if you're running against Joe Biden, but against Kamala Harris, especially isn't.
00:32:25.600 So let her run the race and gender pandering campaign.
00:32:29.500 She can have that.
00:32:32.020 And Republicans should run a campaign that isn't about any of that.
00:32:35.960 A campaign that's actually about Americans.
00:32:38.800 But we're not breaking it down into groups.
00:32:43.980 But you're just running for Americans, Americans who, who call this place their homeland, like J.D. Vance said in his, in his speech at the convention.
00:32:53.420 Make that your campaign.
00:32:58.860 Which is for the most part, essentially, of course, as we heard in the Vance's campaign speech, like that is, that's already a big part of the message, which is good.
00:33:08.800 But I'm just worried about this.
00:33:11.140 What we know historically has been the Republican instinct to see this pandering game going on and thinking, well, we can, we can, we can, two can play at that game.
00:33:22.520 No, they can't.
00:33:23.740 They can't.
00:33:24.220 All right.
00:33:26.860 Speaking of pandering, here's the, the Hill.
00:33:32.000 Top security officials defended women being in the U.S. Secret Service in a Saturday statement following the assassination attempt on former President Trump.
00:33:39.580 Alejandro Mayorkas put out a statement that he's the Homeland Security Secretary saying,
00:33:44.840 In the days following the attempted assassination of former President Trump, some people have made public statements questioning the presence of women in law enforcement, including the United States Secret Service.
00:33:53.580 These assertions are baseless and insulting.
00:33:56.280 The Secret Service has faced scrutiny in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump last weekend, with some questioning how the gunman had access to a roof that had a clear line of sight to the former president.
00:34:04.600 Statement continues, every single day in communities big and small across our great country, women are serving in federal, state, local, tribal, territorial, and campus law enforcement.
00:34:13.440 They're highly trained and skilled professionals who risk their lives on the front lines for the safety and security of others.
00:34:17.540 They are brave and selfless patriots who deserve our gratitude and respect.
00:34:21.020 We in the United States Department of Homeland Security will, with great pride, focus, and devotion to mission, continue to recruit, retain, and elevate women in our law enforcement ranks.
00:34:28.520 Our department will be the better for it and our country more secure.
00:34:31.280 Now, we've talked about this several times over the past week.
00:34:33.820 The fact that they have unqualified women on the Secret Service is insane.
00:34:37.360 The fact that they're focused on defending their diversity efforts at a time like this is also insane.
00:34:42.680 We don't need to rehash all of that.
00:34:45.300 Instead, I just want to say this, and let me offer this thought, or maybe more of a, it's an opportunity, I think.
00:34:52.200 Here's an opportunity that I want to throw out there.
00:34:55.120 So, Secret Service protection is granted to all presidents and former presidents, in theory.
00:35:03.320 The living ones, anyway, right?
00:35:05.420 Once they died, it's kind of a moot point.
00:35:07.760 And that means that there are three Democrats currently getting Secret Service protection, not counting, well, you know, we won't count Jimmy Carter.
00:35:14.380 We'll leave him out of this.
00:35:16.580 Biden, Obama, Clinton.
00:35:17.940 So, here's the opportunity.
00:35:20.860 If female Secret Service agents are really just as capable as men, then that means that you could assemble a highly capable all-female Secret Service detail.
00:35:32.100 It'll be just as good as the all-male details.
00:35:36.000 And in which case, you should assemble three all-female Secret Service details, and you should assign them to the Bidens, the Obamas, and the Clintons.
00:35:44.120 Let's give them, you know, all-female Secret Service protection, consisting only of badass, kick-ass women, you know.
00:35:54.180 And we'll just test out these girl power theories and see what happens.
00:35:59.100 Why not?
00:36:01.340 They should all jump at this chance, shouldn't they?
00:36:04.860 We know Bill Clinton will jump at it, maybe for different reasons.
00:36:08.440 He's all in, we know that.
00:36:10.320 And the others should be, too, because women are just as capable as men.
00:36:14.120 We know there have historically been, and even now, there are all-male Secret Service details.
00:36:22.100 And nobody ever worries about that.
00:36:24.820 I mean, nobody would ever look at their security and see it's only men and say, well, this makes me feel unsafe.
00:36:30.600 We need to get more women in here.
00:36:32.740 Nobody would ever say that.
00:36:34.980 But, which really, that alone tells you everything you need to know.
00:36:38.260 But, if men and women are exactly the same, and women are just as capable, then, you know, if you did find yourself surrounded only by women doing security for you, then you should be happy about that.
00:36:51.440 Really.
00:36:51.840 So, let's just, let's do it, and as I said, see what happens.
00:36:57.940 Let's test it out.
00:36:59.120 A little experiment.
00:37:01.140 And I think that these very progressive presidents and former presidents who believe so much in the feminist ideals, that they should be really excited about it.
00:37:11.440 Speaking of Secret Service, the head of the agency, Kim Cheadle, who should have been fired seven days ago, but still has not been fired, is testifying today in front of a House committee.
00:37:22.840 And the testimony is still ongoing as I speak.
00:37:26.560 So, I'll have a fuller analysis tomorrow when it's over.
00:37:28.700 But, for now, I want to play just one quick clip that, from what I've seen, kind of summarizes the whole thing at this point.
00:37:35.880 Here it is.
00:37:36.440 Watch.
00:37:36.580 Today, of the attempted assassination and leading up to that day, let's start with the building that the shooter used to shoot President Trump from.
00:37:45.020 At any point Saturday, did the Secret Service have an agent on top of that roof?
00:37:52.300 Sir, I'm sure, as you can imagine, that we are just nine days out from this incident, and there's still an ongoing investigation.
00:37:59.900 And so, I want to make sure that any information that we are providing to you is factual.
00:38:03.660 Okay.
00:38:03.940 Why did the Secret Service not, can you answer why the Secret Service didn't place a single agent on the roof?
00:38:11.380 We are still looking into the advanced process and the decisions that were made.
00:38:15.620 Okay, okay.
00:38:17.680 Wasn't that building within the perimeter that should be secured?
00:38:22.620 Do we agree with that?
00:38:24.720 The building was outside of the perimeter on the day of the visit.
00:38:28.460 But, again, that is one of the things that during the investigation we want to take a look at and determine whether or not other decisions should have been made.
00:38:36.800 One of the things that you said, I believe, in an interview, that there wasn't an agent on the roof because it was a sloped roof.
00:38:43.760 Is that normal, and do you fear that that immediately creates an opportunity for future would-be assassins to look for a slanted roof?
00:38:54.200 I mean, this is a huge question that every American has.
00:38:57.960 Why wasn't a Secret Service agent on the roof?
00:39:00.620 And there have been reports that agents were supposed to be on the roof, but it was hot that day and they didn't want to be on the roof.
00:39:06.260 Can you answer any of those questions, Director?
00:39:09.000 So I appreciate you asking me that question, Chairman.
00:39:11.720 I should have been more clear in my answer when I spoke about where we placed personnel in that interview.
00:39:17.260 What I can tell you is that there was a plan in place to provide overwatch, and we are still looking into responsibilities and who was going to provide overwatch.
00:39:27.160 But the Secret Service in general, not speaking specifically to this incident, when we are providing overwatch, whether that be through countersnipers or other technology, prefer to have sterile rooftops.
00:39:40.260 I'm here to answer questions.
00:39:41.580 This is it.
00:39:42.260 I'm supposed to be offering a testimony, but I'm not going to get into answering any questions today, which, of course, it's all a complete joke.
00:39:50.120 This is total bullshit, the whole thing.
00:39:51.640 The idea that she doesn't know nine days later if there was an agent on the roof is nonsense.
00:40:00.740 They know everything at this point.
00:40:02.900 They know everything.
00:40:04.500 And they very well know a lot more than they'll ever tell us.
00:40:08.140 Well, they certainly know a lot more than they'll ever tell us.
00:40:10.600 But, you know, what exactly they know, that's the point.
00:40:14.160 We will never know for sure.
00:40:15.560 But whatever it is, they know exactly what happened.
00:40:18.100 And especially if it's exactly what they claim, that this was a lone wolf, crazy shooter guy who just showed up and for no reason did this, then that's it's actually not very complicated in that case.
00:40:33.600 They probably knew everything within like 24 hours.
00:40:36.080 But certainly basic questions like where was everybody on the payroll, all the security agents, where were they?
00:40:47.580 Was anybody at any point on that rooftop, the one that the sniper used?
00:40:52.600 Of course they know that.
00:40:54.840 So she's still stonewalling.
00:40:56.600 She's still lying.
00:40:57.360 The idea that the roof 150 yards away is outside the perimeter is also nonsense.
00:41:05.360 And if it's true, it doesn't help anything because all it means, whether or not it was in the perimeter, it should have been.
00:41:12.620 So if you drew a perimeter that does not include a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage 150 yards away, then you're even more incompetent than we thought.
00:41:29.200 Let's put it that way.
00:41:30.060 What do you think the perimeter is?
00:41:34.800 Is the perimeter just all of the people who can make direct physical contact with the person you're protecting?
00:41:44.600 Is that the perimeter?
00:41:45.960 No, the perimeter should be any, the whole radius, where if somebody is within that radius, they could do harm to the person you're protecting.
00:42:01.720 150 yards away, yes, you can do enormous harm, as we've seen.
00:42:09.180 So whether the whole hearing went like this, where she answered no questions, I'm not sure at this point, but I would guess yes.
00:42:15.960 If you're not going to answer those questions, then she's not going to answer anything.
00:42:20.620 And the very frustrating thing is that, yes, she should be out of a job, she should be fired.
00:42:25.880 If there's any accountability at all, then it should begin with her stepping down.
00:42:30.600 But she could just not step down, and there's nothing we can do about it.
00:42:35.700 Right now, anyway.
00:42:37.480 This is what the bureaucracy is set up to do, to protect people like her.
00:42:41.080 So this is not, the fact that somebody like this can escape accountability in this giant bureaucracy, that is not a side effect of having a big bureaucracy.
00:42:51.080 It's the point.
00:42:52.180 It's why the bureaucracy exists, to protect people like this.
00:42:56.180 And to add insult to injury, she's still going out saying, hey, the buck stops with me.
00:43:01.460 I take full accountability for this.
00:43:03.500 I accept responsibility.
00:43:04.720 Well, no, you don't.
00:43:05.360 So you accept responsibility, but you will not suffer any repercussions whatsoever.
00:43:10.400 That is not accepting responsibility.
00:43:13.280 It's like if your kid does something, misbehaves, and you talk to him about it.
00:43:18.220 I take full responsibility.
00:43:19.680 I shouldn't have done it.
00:43:21.100 And you say, okay, well, you're punished.
00:43:22.180 Go to your room.
00:43:22.760 Well, no, I don't.
00:43:24.120 Because why are you sending me to my room?
00:43:25.240 I don't want to go to my.
00:43:26.400 Okay, well, so you're not ready to take responsibility than it would seem.
00:43:28.780 Same idea here, but on a much larger scale, of course.
00:43:35.360 Let's finish with this.
00:43:37.180 Rosie O'Donnell, for some reason, we're going to finish with that.
00:43:42.020 She has some concerns about a Trump presidency.
00:43:46.100 It may shock you to learn.
00:43:48.360 Watch.
00:43:49.600 The whole thing is very, very unnerving.
00:43:53.420 It's very unnerving.
00:43:54.720 In a hundred days, you know, people are saying to me, my therapist actually said to me,
00:43:59.780 well, it's a long time between now and November.
00:44:01.880 No, it isn't.
00:44:02.420 We're about to start school again.
00:44:04.340 You know how quick all of a sudden it's Thanksgiving.
00:44:07.520 And then it's Thanksgiving break.
00:44:09.840 So by Thanksgiving break, we're going to know whether we still have democracy in the United States.
00:44:15.220 That's not a long time.
00:44:17.540 It's a long time to worry every day.
00:44:21.160 I could tell you that.
00:44:22.000 I'm excited about the Olympics starting.
00:44:29.940 That gets me excited.
00:44:31.460 So I'll be cheering for that.
00:44:33.740 And that's all I got today, people.
00:44:36.660 Nothing big.
00:44:39.300 Take care of yourselves.
00:44:41.300 Tick tock, you don't stop.
00:44:43.640 Don't only watch the TV news.
00:44:45.840 Don't, because it's...
00:44:47.720 Listen, you can worry, worry, worry.
00:44:49.300 And time's still going to go.
00:44:51.020 And what's going to happen is going to happen.
00:44:52.740 So, you know, the wisdom to know the difference.
00:44:55.980 The things I can control, right?
00:44:58.360 The things you can't.
00:44:59.640 Wisdom to know the difference.
00:45:01.660 It's all in that wisdom to know the difference.
00:45:05.480 Right?
00:45:06.120 Drive yourself crazy.
00:45:07.320 You can.
00:45:07.860 Drive yourself completely bonkers.
00:45:09.600 Believe me, I know.
00:45:10.440 But, boy, it's scary.
00:45:14.700 Boy, is it scary.
00:45:17.000 They're not kidding around.
00:45:20.740 Right to an authoritarian dictatorship.
00:45:27.040 America.
00:45:28.900 Got no idea what's coming if he wins.
00:45:31.080 And, boy, it's not good.
00:45:33.380 Okay.
00:45:35.740 Anyway.
00:45:37.500 Happy, happy, happy.
00:45:39.420 Talk to you soon.
00:45:40.440 You know, all I could think when I'm watching this is that she actually...
00:45:44.400 She's starting to look a little bit like Trump these days.
00:45:47.560 She could do a great Trump impersonation if she tried.
00:45:51.640 So, this is just another washed-up celebrity panicking about Donald Trump.
00:45:54.920 Nothing very significant here.
00:45:56.400 I do have to laugh at the idea of somebody talking to their therapist about their political fears.
00:46:03.320 It's more evidence for the point that I've hammered on so many times that therapy, in many cases, has nothing to do with science or medicine.
00:46:11.560 You're sitting with your therapist and complaining about politics.
00:46:14.780 So, your therapist is just a stand-in for a friend.
00:46:18.660 Because that's what friends are for.
00:46:20.240 Or family.
00:46:20.900 But, instead, she's paying someone an exorbitant hourly rate to just have a conversation with.
00:46:28.740 And, you might say, well, if that's what somebody needs a therapist for, then fine.
00:46:34.060 You know, maybe a lot of people in therapy really do just need a friend.
00:46:36.840 Okay, then, but don't pretend it's medicine in that case.
00:46:41.540 Okay, therapy in that case is like a non-sexual escort service.
00:46:45.700 Okay, it's not medicine.
00:46:48.660 You're just lonely and sad and alone, probably because you've alienated everybody in your life.
00:46:53.760 And, you need somebody to talk to.
00:46:55.600 Fine, I guess.
00:46:56.560 But, that's not therapeutic in the medical sense of the word.
00:46:59.600 This is like those, you know, those professional cuddlers, which is a thing now.
00:47:04.040 Are we going to pretend that professional cuddlers need a medical license?
00:47:09.220 Are we going to give them that aura of science and medicine?
00:47:13.880 Probably we will, if we haven't already.
00:47:17.020 But, we shouldn't.
00:47:18.880 The other funny thing, of course, is just this fear that democracy will be over if Trump is elected.
00:47:23.780 A fear that is now completely untenable, after what the Democrats have done.
00:47:29.540 This is actually subverting the will of the voters.
00:47:34.040 Okay, Trump has never subverted the will of the voters.
00:47:38.620 Never has.
00:47:43.540 What's an example of the voters say one thing, and Trump insists on doing the opposite?
00:47:52.180 And, of course, the first thing that anybody on the left will say is, well, what about 2020?
00:47:56.740 He's not in office right now, is he?
00:48:01.340 Did he have to be dragged out of the White House?
00:48:06.300 No.
00:48:07.480 Inauguration day, Joe Biden was in office.
00:48:12.060 So, you can't use that as an example.
00:48:14.140 No, this, here we have, this is what subverting the will of the voters actually looks like.
00:48:22.220 And one thing you notice is that it's not just one guy who does it, or even could do it.
00:48:29.720 That's the other thing about Trump, is that even if he wanted to subvert the will of the voters,
00:48:35.040 even if he wanted to be a dictator, which he doesn't want that.
00:48:38.380 But, if he did, he still couldn't do it.
00:48:43.980 You can't do it on your own, with this behemoth federal government underneath you.
00:48:49.180 You just, you can't.
00:48:52.320 This, when it actually happens, it is a conspiracy, an actual conspiracy,
00:48:58.000 among the powerful forces who run our government and run our system.
00:49:03.300 Those are the people who can subvert the will of voters.
00:49:10.340 And this whole thing with Biden is a perfect lesson in what that looks like.
00:49:14.300 Some of it is in public.
00:49:15.220 You can see some of it happening.
00:49:17.080 A lot of it is behind the scenes.
00:49:18.640 You don't see it.
00:49:19.320 You only hear reports of it and rumors of it.
00:49:23.020 And who is the they?
00:49:24.420 Well, again, it's not one person.
00:49:25.900 It's a, it's a, it is a, a group of people.
00:49:30.900 And they're also not all meeting, most likely, in a smoky room and coming up with this deliberate conspiracy.
00:49:40.520 It's more of a, it's more of a hive mind kind of thing, where they all work towards the same end.
00:49:47.260 I mean, there is certainly a lot of deliberate conspiring that goes on.
00:49:50.300 But when you look at what happened with Biden, you had Democrat Party leaders, elected leaders, Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff.
00:50:01.100 Okay, they're coming in to take Biden out, subvert the will of the voters.
00:50:05.100 You have people who are no longer in elected office, like Barack Obama, kind of the godfather mafia boss figure.
00:50:14.040 You've got people out, outside of Washington completely.
00:50:16.980 George Clooney comes out.
00:50:18.840 That's part of the story here.
00:50:20.300 Um, and then, biggest factor of all, is you have the donors.
00:50:27.380 So, and then, and the media.
00:50:30.180 So, media, Hollywood, donor class, politicians, um, kingmaker types like Obama, all of them together.
00:50:41.540 And so, even if you want to throw democracy out, subvert the voters, do what you want, be a, be a, be a tyrant, be an authoritarian, be a dictator, you couldn't even do it unless all of these people decide that they're going to do that.
00:50:59.880 Um, and they're not going to make that decision for Trump.
00:51:04.880 We know that.
00:51:05.320 All of those people hate Trump.
00:51:07.960 And those are the people with the power.
00:51:10.180 So, not only is Trump not a dictator, but he is the least likely political figure, maybe in American history, to ever become a dictator.
00:51:21.020 Because he is so despised by all of the people who actually hold that kind of power.
00:51:27.940 And we don't have to speculate about that, because those people, those groups, those forces, just forced a sitting president out of his re-election campaign.
00:51:38.420 And we saw it happen in front of our very eyes.
00:51:40.200 Don't expect Rosie O'Donnell to understand all of that, though.
00:51:43.880 But, um, it is, uh, it is clear as day, nonetheless.
00:51:48.000 There's only one cell phone company that gives you free premium access to the media that you actually care about, and it's Pure Talk.

00:53:24.580 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:53:25.840 I don't know exactly what a Jojo Siwa is.
00:53:35.380 As best I can tell, she's a 21-year-old girl who used to be some kind of reality TV star as a child
00:53:40.300 and has now become or is trying to become desperately a pop star.
00:53:43.640 A few months ago, she debuted a new pop song called Karma,
00:53:46.580 which she often performs wearing this outfit and doing these dance moves.
00:53:51.120 Watch.
00:53:51.420 As you can see, she's dressed like a villain from Power Rangers and doing dance moves.
00:54:11.780 It looks something like a drunk, uncoordinated bridesmaid at a wedding.
00:54:15.300 And this is what Jojo hopes you will consider edgy.
00:54:17.880 She seems to want very badly to be seen as edgy and innovative.
00:54:21.380 In a recent interview, she went so far as to declare that she had even invented a new genre of music.
00:54:25.980 Watch.
00:54:27.300 The genre is, I said it back in the day when I first signed with Columbia,
00:54:31.000 I said I wanted to start a new genre of music.
00:54:32.780 And they said, what do you mean?
00:54:33.760 And I said, well, it's called gay pop.
00:54:35.620 And they were like, what's that?
00:54:37.320 And I was like, it's like K-pop, right?
00:54:39.440 But it's gay pop.
00:54:41.980 Yes, the revolutionary new style of music is gay pop.
00:54:45.040 She's the first person to ever combine gayness with pop music.
00:54:49.280 Prior to this moment in time, pop music has been renowned for its heterosexuality.
00:54:54.680 I can remember growing up in the 90s when a kid, you know, boy caught listening to NSYNC or the Backstreet Boys might be mocked by his classmates.
00:55:01.340 Listen to boy bands?
00:55:02.280 You must be straight, you damned hetero.
00:55:04.540 So, this is at least what JoJo Siwa apparently imagines.
00:55:08.460 That's why she's so proud of being the first gay person to ever produce a pop song,
00:55:12.700 which is a bit like an NBA player in the year 2024 claiming to have invented a new concept called black basketball.
00:55:17.900 You know, it's like regular basketball that we all know and love, except this time, get this, black guys are playing it.
00:55:23.160 Now, the claim may not make any sense, but JoJo isn't worried about making sense.
00:55:26.560 She just wants you to notice her.
00:55:28.000 When I was eight is when Miley had her banger's moment, and I was like, all I want is to have that one day.
00:55:34.100 Like, I want that.
00:55:36.520 And honestly, since I was like 15, like, my whole, like, inner circle has been, like, talking about it and, like, getting excited for it.
00:55:42.860 I am shook about your look.
00:55:44.220 Tell me about this.
00:55:44.840 Really strange tan lines.
00:55:46.080 It's really strange.
00:55:47.420 I mean, what do you want to know about it?
00:55:48.960 This is my, uh, my karma.
00:55:51.420 Karma.
00:55:52.080 It's a costume from the official music video.
00:55:54.280 Honestly, I just wanted to wear it again.
00:55:55.920 I love it so much.
00:55:56.800 No one has made this dramatic of a change yet.
00:56:00.340 No one has made, in my generation, this extreme of a switch.
00:56:05.640 And I am the first in the generation.
00:56:07.940 It is very scary, but someone's got to do it.
00:56:11.120 Biggest thing about this video, I don't care if people like it.
00:56:14.040 I don't care if people hate it, but I want people to turn their head at it, and I want people to notice it.
00:56:20.220 Because I'm the real lesbian, I say I'm the real lesbian.
00:56:22.680 Will the other real lesbian please stand on up?
00:56:25.040 I don't care if you like it or hate it, I just want you to notice it.
00:56:31.860 We've got to give her credit for honesty, I suppose.
00:56:33.640 There are a lot of attention seekers in the entertainment industry.
00:56:36.000 She's not the only one.
00:56:37.280 It's just that most of them won't come out and actually say that all they care about is getting attention.
00:56:41.880 So the forthrightness here is something to appreciate, maybe even mildly respect.
00:56:46.000 Unfortunately, there's nothing else to respect about this person, especially when you consider this story.
00:56:50.580 Here's People magazine, quote, Jojo Siwa is sharing new details about her surrogacy plans.
00:56:56.220 In a video interview for Cosmopolitan's If It Were Me series, the Karma singer, 21, shared that she had specific hopes for how and when she would welcome her hypothetical future children.
00:57:05.900 Quote, because I'm gay as s*** and I have to plan a pregnancy much different than a straight person, I actually want to take three eggs, fertilize three eggs, and have three surrogates, she said.
00:57:14.920 Quote, so technically they'll all be the same batch, but they would all be born separately.
00:57:19.900 I'm going to have my surrogates, my babies, then maybe their birthdays will land on different days and they can be like triplets, but like not.
00:57:28.340 So she's gay as s***, she says.
00:57:30.460 That's the term she applies to herself.
00:57:32.540 It's how she self-identifies and I will certainly respect her self-identification.
00:57:36.360 Would never dream of doing anything otherwise.
00:57:37.920 She says that her gay status has led her to the conclusion that she should have three babies at the same time from the same batch, in her words, but by three different surrogates.
00:57:48.080 Now, granted, she's speaking hypothetically about children who don't yet exist.
00:57:53.360 She also has no idea what she's asking for.
00:57:56.100 If you wind up with triplets naturally, then of course you embrace them and you love them as a gift from God.
00:58:01.240 But no sane person actually sets out to have triplets.
00:58:05.780 I've had twins twice and even I look uncomprehendingly at parents with triplets.
00:58:10.440 I can't imagine what taking care of three newborns at once must be like.
00:58:16.440 It's the kind of challenge that you let God decide to give to you if he does.
00:58:21.980 You put it in the hands of providence.
00:58:23.840 You don't go seeking it out deliberately.
00:58:26.760 So this is obviously an emotionally stunted young woman whose brain is warped from having been a child star.
00:58:31.940 From what very little I know about her, she seems essentially incapable of expressing any kind of authentic human thought.
00:58:39.100 Everything is a desperate attempt to shock and provoke.
00:58:41.520 And this stuff about recruiting three surrogates at the same time is probably no different.
00:58:45.000 Yet still, the language she's using reveals something about the surrogacy industry.
00:58:49.560 She wants to cook up a batch of babies, she says, like they're baked goods and not human beings.
00:58:56.180 She's not a married woman humbly embracing the procreative facet of the marital union.
00:59:00.220 She is rather an unmarried, self-described gay woman hoping to fulfill some very specific weird motherhood fantasy by engineering exactly the results that she desires.
00:59:10.100 And all of the problems with surrogacy are in evidence here.
00:59:15.140 First, most obviously, it is dehumanizing.
00:59:18.100 There's a reason why the people who use surrogates can't help but talk about it in dehumanizing, bizarrely objectifying ways.
00:59:25.560 The surrogate mother carrying the baby and the baby that is being carried are both products to them.
00:59:30.880 They are objects to be obtained and controlled.
00:59:34.220 This is human life as commodity.
00:59:36.060 As I've said many times before, commercial surrogacy is the most direct and explicit form of human commodification since slavery.
00:59:43.440 And that's why it should be banned.
00:59:44.700 And anyone who uses surrogates should be treated with the same scorn as human traffickers because that's what this is.
00:59:52.080 But perhaps even worse, beyond the dehumanizing aspect of the whole thing,
00:59:56.980 surrogacy makes parenthood self-serving.
00:59:59.960 It turns the focus back on the parent or the quote-unquote parent.
01:00:04.100 But parenthood, when done the natural way and approached with the right mindset and with your heart in the right place,
01:00:13.220 is a humbling thing.
01:00:15.720 I'll never forget the moment when we found out about our second set of twins.
01:00:20.480 If you've been watching the show for a while, you're familiar with the basic story.
01:00:24.040 But we already had four kids.
01:00:25.440 We already had twins in the past.
01:00:27.520 We didn't set out to have another set of twins.
01:00:30.620 In fact, when I found out that we were going to go from four kids to six,
01:00:35.920 I was fairly terrified of the prospect, I will admit.
01:00:39.880 Even more so having been there before.
01:00:42.760 You know, we knew what having newborn twins was like.
01:00:45.060 The sleeplessness, the constant crying, the feeling of being totally overwhelmed all the time.
01:00:50.320 We knew what was coming.
01:00:51.860 You know, we did not have the benefit of blissful ignorance.
01:00:56.860 And now we knew we'd be doing it with four other kids to also take care of on top of that.
01:01:02.980 This is not what we tried to engineer for ourselves.
01:01:05.380 It isn't what we planned.
01:01:07.340 It's what God had planned for us.
01:01:09.080 It was our job to humble ourselves.
01:01:12.920 And parenting, you know, the process of parenting involves many opportunities to humble yourself
01:01:17.380 and accept God's plan for our lives, even if it was very different from what we thought
01:01:22.720 our plans were going to be.
01:01:25.140 And now we have two more beautiful kids, and we can't imagine life without them.
01:01:30.320 It worked out because we trusted his design for our lives rather than our own design.
01:01:34.500 But the surrogacy designer baby approach inverts all of that, turns it upside down.
01:01:43.960 It puts all the focus on your designs, on your plans for what you want, completely inverted.
01:01:52.520 Your priorities are, your number one priority is yourself, and that's completely upside down.
01:01:59.000 The baby, or babies in this case, are mere fashion accessories.
01:02:02.180 You're going into it with entirely the wrong spirit, which pretty much guarantees that you
01:02:08.440 will be miserable when the actual realities of parenting every day set in, which also
01:02:14.240 guarantees that your children will be miserable.
01:02:17.300 If your desires are the focal point at the beginning, it's likely that you will try to keep
01:02:24.520 them there as you go on as a parent.
01:02:27.480 And the more you try as a parent to keep yourself at the center and keep your own desires and
01:02:34.620 what you want to do and your preferences, the more you try to keep that at the center of
01:02:38.460 everything, at the center of your family, the more you will hate parenting and your children
01:02:44.020 by extension and yourself.
01:02:46.940 This is the kind of failure that surrogacy sets you up for.
01:02:53.440 It's the failure of arrogance is what it is.
01:02:58.440 There is no humility in it, which is an aspect of surrogacy that I think is not talked about
01:03:03.960 enough.
01:03:05.700 And that is just one of the many reasons why surrogacy is a great evil.
01:03:09.400 And it's why it, that is surrogacy, and Jojo Siwa are both today canceled.
01:03:17.300 That'll do it for the show today.
01:03:18.160 Thanks for watching.
01:03:18.680 Thanks for listening.
01:03:19.260 Talk to you tomorrow.
01:03:19.920 Have a great day.
01:03:21.020 Godspeed.
