00:00:00.040 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, governments across the Western world are putting all kinds of policies in place to supposedly fight climate change and stop carbon emissions.
00:00:08.180 But the biggest climate crusader, Canada, is now emitting more carbon than ever. How did that happen?
00:00:12.620 We'll discuss also the FBI claims that the motive of Trump's would-be assassin is still somehow unclear.
00:00:18.180 Kamala Harris allegedly commits her own version of stolen valor, and Kamala brags about one of her greatest achievements,
00:00:23.620 which is to make lynching illegal, even though it already was.
00:00:27.180 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:00.000 You'll get uncensored, unfiltered, ad-free shows, real-time breaking news alerts, and more.
00:01:04.920 But most importantly, you get the truth that the mainstream media doesn't want you to hear.
00:01:08.700 One of the most basic assumptions about climate change that you're told to accept is that if you give the government enough power and make enough personal sacrifices, you can help change the weather.
00:01:19.840 You can make natural disasters less likely.
00:01:22.660 You can save beaches and endangered species.
00:01:24.820 Even entire countries, the entire world, you can save.
00:01:27.960 And all you need to do is pay more in taxes to fund more government bureaucracy and give up your car and your gas stove and airline travel and plastic straws and maybe your entire livelihood, and then everything will be fine.
00:01:41.380 Now, there's no other country on Earth that's internalized this way of thinking more than our neighbor to the north, Canada.
00:01:47.860 They've declared a national climate change emergency.
00:01:51.000 They have a constantly increasing national tax on carbon, which raises the cost of living for pretty much every household in the country.
00:01:56.680 They've banned plastic straws.
00:01:58.440 They've shut down oil and gas permits off their Pacific coast.
00:02:01.000 If you're an insomniac and you pull up a video of a debate in the Canadian parliament to help you sleep, there's a good chance that they'll be debating climate change in some way or another.
00:02:11.020 So how's all that working out for Canada exactly?
00:02:15.160 What have all of these taxes and regulations accomplished aside from hamstringing Canada's economy for the past decade?
00:02:21.460 Shortly, we can assume that at the very least, Canada's carbon emissions are much lower as a result of all of this government bureaucracy.
00:02:27.640 After all, Canada's not even a top 20 country by population.
00:02:31.520 Their GDP barely ranks in the top 10.
00:02:33.900 Shouldn't be hard for them to rank relatively low on the list of global carbon emitters, especially since they've been trying so hard and punishing their citizens so much.
00:02:43.100 But as it turns out, Canada is currently one of the biggest carbon emitters on the planet.
00:02:48.420 They're setting new records in the wrong direction.
00:02:51.240 They're adding more of that dreaded carbon into the atmosphere than countries three times their size.
00:02:56.660 And it's all because of a series of wildfires last year that the Canadian government clearly could not control.
00:03:03.340 Watch.
00:03:04.160 New research has found last year's wildfire season in Canada released more carbon emissions than all but three nations on Earth.
00:03:11.740 The study published in the journal Nature says Canadian wildfires put out 647 megatons of carbon in 2023.
00:03:19.480 That's higher than the total amount of emissions released by seven of the world's 10 largest emitters in 2022, including Russia, Japan and Germany.
00:03:29.660 Only China, the U.S. and India released more.
00:03:33.160 The study says although Canadian forests do pull carbon out of the atmosphere, increasing fire activity could reduce their effectiveness.
00:03:40.060 Now, all told, the wildfires in 2023 contributed more than four times as much carbon into the atmosphere as everything else that Canada did last year combined.
00:03:49.120 So the plastic straw bans and the taxes and industry crushing regulations were completely undone four times over by these wildfires.
00:03:57.700 Now, if you check in with the experts, of course, they'll tell you that the wildfires were only so severe because of climate change.
00:04:03.720 Supposedly, the one degree rise and reverted rather reported global average temperature from 2022 to 2023 could be the reason that the wildfires burned more of Canada than any other wildfire season in recorded history.
00:04:18.400 And therefore, we need to redouble our efforts to ban fossil fuels and so on.
00:04:23.060 That's the line they're going with.
00:04:24.340 As MIT Technology Review put it, quote, fires are part of natural, healthy ecosystems and burn on their own don't necessarily represent a disaster for climate change.
00:04:35.600 After a typical fire season, a forest begins to regrow, capturing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere as it does so.
00:04:41.900 This continues a cycle in which carbon moves around the planet.
00:04:44.620 While climate change doesn't directly spark any one fire, researchers have traced hot, dry conditions that worsen fires to the effects of human-caused climate change.
00:04:55.120 The extreme fire conditions in eastern Canada were over twice as likely because of climate change.
00:05:01.100 The MIT Technology Review concludes with this.
00:05:04.040 It was already clear that we need to stop emissions from power plants, vehicles, and a huge range of other clearly human activities to address climate change.
00:05:11.780 Last year's wildfires should increase the urgency of that action.
00:05:16.220 Now, what's striking about explanations like this is that they conveniently absolve the government of all responsibility for managing the forests,
00:05:24.720 which is the single most direct way to prevent wildfires from spreading out of control like they did last year.
00:05:30.360 And even the Canadian government admits that.
00:05:33.180 I went on the website of Canada's Natural Resources Department and found that in addition to blaming fossil fuels,
00:05:38.240 they acknowledged that they could do more to prevent wildfires from spreading.
00:05:42.620 Quote,
00:05:43.680 As wildfire risks will continue to intensify as the climate warms, Canada needs to adapt fire management and mitigation strategies.
00:05:50.580 There are different ways to manage wildfire risk, including controlled burns, revised forestry guidelines,
00:05:55.600 and procedures to manage fuel around communities and infrastructure.
00:05:59.000 It's a balance of these techniques that can help deal with future challenges.
00:06:03.760 Now, one scientist with the Canadian Forest Service put it this way,
00:06:06.680 A change of climate means a proactive approach must be taken.
00:06:11.180 Studies like this can offer important lessons to be better prepared for the next time a devastating event like this occurs.
00:06:18.140 Now, they don't mention that, you know, preventing arson is another way to stop these fires, even though that's true as well.
00:06:25.460 While the majority of these fires were apparently caused by lightning or some other natural events,
00:06:29.720 there was at least one guy who pleaded guilty to arson for setting more than a dozen separate fires in Canada last year.
00:06:34.800 But even if you set that aside, there's a glaringly obvious solution here, which Canada's government acknowledges.
00:06:40.960 And that solution is for the Canadian government to do a better job preventing and containing wildfires by improving their management capabilities.
00:06:48.840 And that brings me to the broader lesson from this disaster in Canada,
00:06:52.180 which is that the government, in general, should focus on doing basic things competently.
00:07:00.420 They shouldn't set out to save the planet with complicated carbon cap schemes and climate emergencies,
00:07:06.540 which is what Canada is doing.
00:07:08.380 Preventing and containing forest fires is a very tangible, straightforward, important responsibility for the government.
00:07:16.380 And when you get the basics right, then very often you don't need the more convoluted schemes at all.
00:07:23.040 Not that a convoluted scheme to control the weather makes any sense in the first place anyway,
00:07:27.220 because we actually have very little control over our environment.
00:07:31.760 That's the unspeakable, very terrifying truth that the climate alarmists don't want to contend with or deal with.
00:07:39.100 That we have very little control over nature.
00:07:41.820 It just is going to do what it's going to do most of the time.
00:07:45.040 You know, we don't have the capacity to fight climate change in the way that they're suggesting.
00:07:49.760 All of the climate change activism in the world can't change the fact that forests go up in flames all over the world every year,
00:07:56.500 as the MIT Technology Review admitted.
00:07:59.120 And volcanoes erupt too, like the one I talked about last year that drove temperature changes all over the world.
00:08:03.780 You may remember that the eruption sent 40 trillion gallons of seawater into the stratosphere.
00:08:10.500 Researchers called it an unprecedented water vapor injection that trapped a lot of heat.
00:08:14.800 And that may have contributed significantly to global warming.
00:08:18.400 Well, nobody was responsible for that eruption.
00:08:20.440 It was a natural event.
00:08:21.880 And sometimes those happen.
00:08:23.960 And we have to accept that they happen and that there's nothing we can do to prevent it.
00:08:28.380 But there are no indications that the Canadian government is going to accept that they can't control the weather
00:08:32.760 or that they're, you know, seriously going to revise their forest management or take any responsibility whatsoever.
00:08:38.540 Instead, predictably, they're turning the wildfires into yet another opportunity to harp on racial grievances
00:08:43.220 and divide their country even more.
00:08:45.860 True North reports this week, quote,
00:08:48.360 The Public Health Agency of Canada wants to review the way wildfire evacuations are conducted
00:08:54.200 because they supposedly disproportionately impact minorities.
00:08:57.860 Part of this impact is that evacuating people from First Nations communities traumatizes indigenous people
00:09:04.420 due to colonialism and the history of residential schools.
00:09:07.840 A rapid review released by the agency in July included an intersectional analysis
00:09:12.520 arguing that wildfires disproportionately impacted First Nations groups, minorities, women, and non-binary people.
00:09:19.320 Yes, they've turned their worst wildfire season on record into an opportunity to complain once again about non-binary people.
00:09:25.960 Yes, non-binary people are more impacted by fire than the rest of us.
00:09:32.000 The rest of us are impervious to fire, it turns out.
00:09:34.740 As a straight white male, I can be, he could set me on fire and I would be unharmed by it.
00:09:40.320 But please don't do that.
00:09:41.820 In the face of an actual concrete problem, forests burning down and people dying,
00:09:46.520 the Canadian government is worried about a small and, you know, highly narcissistic subset of its population
00:09:52.960 with this identity of non-binary.
00:09:56.760 So here's a couple of lines from the Canadian government's report to give you some idea
00:10:00.240 how unhinged the country has become.
00:10:02.560 The impact of wildfires on indigenous peoples is influenced by colonialism
00:10:08.000 and has forced many indigenous peoples to live in isolation
00:10:11.020 or in communities that are isolated from the rest of society.
00:10:14.620 The evacuation measures conducted in indigenous communities
00:10:16.740 served as traumatic reminders of being taken away to residential schools
00:10:20.600 and or the 60s scoop as some were forced onto buses and separated from their family.
00:10:25.840 Sorry, I guess it's what, better to not evacuate them and let them all burn to death?
00:10:32.120 Is that the, to avoid the trauma of evacuating them from a fire,
00:10:37.560 just leave them there?
00:10:39.020 Is that, is that the solution?
00:10:40.660 Not that you needed it, but this report is your admission from the Canadian government
00:10:44.460 that they don't actually care about climate change or preventing wildfires.
00:10:48.180 Their only concern is to preserve and expand their power at every available opportunity.
00:10:52.140 And they've determined that dividing people with crude racial guilt is the best way to do that.
00:10:58.580 And that's why Canada, for all its promises to save the world from carbon emissions,
00:11:02.800 is now one of the single biggest carbon emitters on the planet.
00:11:06.840 It's a perfect illustration for why no one anywhere in the world
00:11:10.740 should ever trust politicians who say that they can control the weather
00:11:14.340 if only you give them a little more power, a little more influence.
00:11:18.200 They'll happily take the power to influence.
00:11:20.440 That's a guarantee.
00:11:21.220 And then as your country is burning down around you,
00:11:24.460 they won't do anything about it.
00:11:26.220 Instead, they'll call you a racist.
00:11:27.600 They'll demand even more power to fight climate change.
00:11:29.880 And then before you know it, you'll wake up one day
00:11:32.060 and you're living in a country a lot like Canada.
00:11:34.700 And by that point, it'll be too late to do anything about it.
00:11:37.560 Unless you're an indigenous non-binary shaman,
00:11:40.380 you know, nobody will think to care what you think.
00:11:43.040 If Canada serves any purpose whatsoever,
00:11:45.000 it's to provide cautionary tales like this.
00:11:47.380 We can either pay attention and accept that there are some things we can't control,
00:11:53.620 or we can choose to make the problems we do have much, much worse.
00:11:59.840 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:01.100 Is America headed in the right direction?
00:12:09.700 A majority of Gen Z supports left-wing policies like open borders and socialism.
00:12:13.820 If we don't reach them and change their minds,
00:12:15.600 the country we know and love will be lost forever.

00:13:04.700 So here's the news from the New York Post.
00:13:11.300 Here's the headline.
00:13:13.360 Trump shooter Thomas Crook saw rally as target of opportunity,
00:13:17.260 but motive still a mystery.
00:13:20.960 Here's the article.
00:13:21.860 It says Donald Trump's would-be assassin
00:13:23.080 considered attacking a number of events
00:13:24.660 featuring both the Republican nominee
00:13:26.460 and President Biden
00:13:27.460 before settling on last month's rally
00:13:29.480 in Butler, Pennsylvania,
00:13:30.920 federal investigators said on Wednesday,
00:13:32.220 adding that the gunman's ultimate motive
00:13:33.620 remains unknown.
00:13:35.940 Thomas Matthew Crooks conducted
00:13:37.240 more than 60 searches
00:13:38.380 related to President Biden
00:13:39.540 and former President Trump
00:13:40.420 as part of extensive attack planning,
00:13:43.160 including queries about both the Republican
00:13:45.140 and Democratic national conventions.
00:13:47.360 FBI Pittsburgh field office special agent
00:13:49.020 in charge Kevin Rojek told reporters.
00:13:52.400 He said, quote,
00:13:53.200 he looked at any number of events or targets
00:13:55.080 when the Trump rally was announced early in July.
00:13:56.880 He became hyper-focused on that specific event
00:13:58.740 and looked at it as a target of opportunity.
00:14:02.040 Investigators determined that Crooks
00:14:03.080 espoused a mixture of ideologies,
00:14:05.140 but didn't appear to have a definitive worldview,
00:14:07.400 with Rojek saying that investigators
00:14:09.720 had found valuable insight into his mindset,
00:14:11.540 but not a motive.
00:14:12.580 Yes, it's very odd.
00:14:15.440 You know, you may have noticed this pattern.
00:14:18.800 If there's an attack targeting conservatives
00:14:20.800 or Christians,
00:14:21.460 the motive is rarely clear.
00:14:24.120 We never find out exactly why it happened.
00:14:26.560 We're never told much about the attacker.
00:14:28.640 It's always somebody with a convoluted worldview.
00:14:31.080 Their ideology is a mixed bag.
00:14:33.440 Who's to say what their politics are?
00:14:35.180 Who knows?
00:14:36.640 Trans person shoots up a Christian school.
00:14:38.600 We don't know the motive.
00:14:40.380 Who knows?
00:14:41.200 Nobody knows.
00:14:41.680 They can't say.
00:14:42.360 They won't say.
00:14:43.600 Guy tries to assassinate President Trump.
00:14:45.320 Again, we don't know the motive.
00:14:46.320 Who knows?
00:14:47.140 Nobody knows.
00:14:47.720 They can't say.
00:14:48.240 They won't say.
00:14:50.560 The shooting in Las Vegas was another one.
00:14:52.240 Now, that wasn't targeting conservatives
00:14:53.640 and Christians specifically,
00:14:54.640 but it's another one where we're supposed to believe
00:14:56.380 that there was essentially no motive,
00:14:58.660 that there was no reason behind it,
00:14:59.920 that the guy went through all of that effort
00:15:01.260 to plan this attack and carried it out
00:15:03.600 and had no reason really for doing it.
00:15:07.240 And, you know,
00:15:08.200 there are circumstances where I'd be willing to believe that,
00:15:12.720 where somebody lashes out violently
00:15:14.180 and has no real reason behind it.
00:15:19.520 But for the most part,
00:15:20.740 the people that are doing that,
00:15:21.740 if someone's lashing out violently
00:15:22.960 without any motive or reason,
00:15:26.220 these are going to be people who,
00:15:27.240 these are like the schizophrenic,
00:15:28.560 drug-addled homeless people
00:15:30.080 that, you know,
00:15:31.860 you can find now
00:15:33.120 in any major urban area.
00:15:38.240 And, yeah, I mean,
00:15:39.240 you might get stabbed by a homeless guy on the street
00:15:41.280 for literally no reason at all.
00:15:44.040 And in a case like that,
00:15:45.100 if that were to happen,
00:15:46.140 if some vagrant runs up and stabs you
00:15:48.080 and you want to know why it happened,
00:15:49.680 like the answer might be,
00:15:50.600 well, there's no,
00:15:51.380 just because.
00:15:52.180 There's no reason.
00:15:53.740 But
00:15:54.020 that's because people who act without motive
00:15:57.860 generally cannot function in life at all.
00:16:01.060 And that's why they're living on the street.
00:16:03.620 But
00:16:04.020 when you have someone who's clearly lucid,
00:16:07.020 not only lucid,
00:16:07.720 but capable of plotting and planning an attack,
00:16:10.600 in this case,
00:16:11.120 planning an assassination attempt
00:16:12.600 against the president,
00:16:14.800 for somebody like that,
00:16:15.640 it's very hard to believe
00:16:16.560 that they're acting without reason,
00:16:18.840 without discernible motive,
00:16:21.060 especially with an assassination attempt.
00:16:22.860 That is a highly political act.
00:16:25.600 Okay, that's like political violence
00:16:27.320 in its purest form,
00:16:29.200 trying to assassinate a political leader.
00:16:31.560 I mean, if that's not political violence,
00:16:32.880 what is?
00:16:34.000 And the idea that somebody would engage
00:16:35.280 in political violence
00:16:35.960 without any political motive
00:16:37.380 is just,
00:16:38.580 it strains credulity
00:16:40.720 quite a bit.
00:16:43.120 Is it possible?
00:16:44.660 It's possible.
00:16:45.940 Anything is possible.
00:16:47.340 The problem is that we can never believe
00:16:49.360 the people who are investigating this.
00:16:51.880 We can't believe the federal government
00:16:53.040 or the intelligence community.
00:16:54.440 We can't believe the FBI.
00:16:55.260 Right now, you know,
00:16:56.280 it's Biden's government
00:16:57.640 investigating an assassination attempt
00:17:00.340 against the administration's
00:17:03.080 chief political rival
00:17:04.200 during an election year,
00:17:07.120 a couple months before the election.
00:17:10.040 So if it turned out
00:17:10.780 that this guy was a big time lefty liberal
00:17:12.820 and he watched MSNBC all the time
00:17:14.940 and was radicalized
00:17:16.660 by crazy left-wingers on YouTube
00:17:18.240 or whatever,
00:17:19.320 if that were the case,
00:17:21.380 is there any chance
00:17:22.140 that they'd tell us that?
00:17:23.040 Is there any chance
00:17:24.780 they would tell us that
00:17:26.640 in particular
00:17:27.500 before the election?
00:17:30.120 No, there's zero chance.
00:17:31.860 Whether that's the case or not.
00:17:34.180 So we just,
00:17:35.540 this is what we're left with.
00:17:36.340 We just can't believe them.
00:17:39.500 And we're left with a
00:17:41.120 situation where
00:17:43.880 somebody tried to assassinate
00:17:46.560 the presidential candidate,
00:17:48.600 former president,
00:17:49.120 and they're not telling us the reason
00:17:50.840 and whatever they do say,
00:17:52.720 we know going into it,
00:17:53.700 again, we just,
00:17:54.760 we can't believe them.
00:17:58.500 Here's Kamala Harris
00:18:00.780 giving a motivational speech
00:18:03.840 to a group of high school students
00:18:05.780 and speaking off the cuff.
00:18:10.460 We don't,
00:18:10.880 we know she doesn't like to do this
00:18:12.700 very often,
00:18:13.340 but she's braving it.
00:18:15.580 She's braving it
00:18:16.460 for this group of kids.
00:18:18.620 She'll do it,
00:18:19.180 she'll do it there.
00:18:19.740 I think she's,
00:18:20.280 has rightly assumed
00:18:21.300 that at least
00:18:21.920 there's not going to be,
00:18:22.840 you know,
00:18:23.000 there's not going to be
00:18:23.400 a lot of hostility.
00:18:24.180 No one's going to ask her
00:18:24.820 any tough questions.
00:18:26.860 But just listen to this.
00:18:28.100 Here it is.
00:18:29.400 Our country is counseling.
00:18:32.120 All of you.
00:18:33.900 You are leaders.
00:18:35.940 By the very fact
00:18:37.100 that you all are here
00:18:38.340 in history,
00:18:39.580 doing what you do
00:18:41.340 at this incredible school,
00:18:43.220 doing it as one big team,
00:18:45.860 understanding
00:18:46.680 all of the different parts
00:18:48.880 that fit together
00:18:50.600 to create a team.
00:18:54.880 Yeah, this,
00:18:55.700 this,
00:18:56.520 I mean,
00:18:57.120 this woman is just empty.
00:18:58.760 This is an empty vessel
00:19:00.360 of a person.
00:19:01.020 She has nothing to say,
00:19:02.080 nothing to offer.
00:19:04.140 And, you know,
00:19:05.180 not even capable
00:19:06.600 of speaking coherently
00:19:08.140 and anything that sounds
00:19:10.260 like an authentic
00:19:11.840 sort of way,
00:19:12.800 even to kids.
00:19:13.660 And I have to say
00:19:14.360 that is a little bit
00:19:16.780 of a tangent,
00:19:17.340 not really,
00:19:17.720 but I hate it
00:19:19.400 when people talk
00:19:20.000 to kids like this.
00:19:21.220 If she's talking
00:19:22.080 to these teenagers
00:19:22.760 like they're in first grade.
00:19:24.920 But the thing is,
00:19:26.660 you shouldn't even talk
00:19:27.300 to first graders like that.
00:19:29.500 Talk to kids
00:19:30.300 like they're people
00:19:31.020 because they are.
00:19:32.640 Talk to them
00:19:33.320 like an adult.
00:19:34.840 Not because they're adults,
00:19:36.360 they're not,
00:19:37.060 but because you are an adult.
00:19:38.820 And so you should be
00:19:39.900 speaking like an adult
00:19:40.940 as you are.
00:19:41.900 This is how kids
00:19:42.900 learn to communicate
00:19:44.760 in a mature way,
00:19:46.320 learn how to express themselves
00:19:47.520 because it's by listening
00:19:52.000 to adults
00:19:52.540 and talking to adults.
00:19:53.600 But that's under the assumption
00:19:54.780 that adults are going
00:19:55.460 to speak like adults.
00:19:56.580 Like I talk to my own kids
00:19:57.860 the way that I talk
00:19:59.420 to you guys
00:20:00.360 in the audience.
00:20:00.960 The content of what I'm saying
00:20:02.280 is often not the same.
00:20:03.320 There are plenty of things
00:20:03.880 I won't talk to my kids
00:20:05.000 about at this stage
00:20:06.160 of their life,
00:20:06.680 but my tone,
00:20:08.620 the way that I address them
00:20:09.880 is the same tone
00:20:10.960 that I use for anybody else.
00:20:13.860 I talk to them,
00:20:15.020 and kids appreciate that.
00:20:17.380 Kids don't like
00:20:18.260 being talked down to.
00:20:19.480 They want to be taken
00:20:20.300 seriously as people.
00:20:22.080 And when you talk to them
00:20:23.020 the way that Kamala
00:20:23.960 is talking to these kids,
00:20:25.540 you advertise the fact
00:20:26.940 that you don't
00:20:27.500 take them seriously.
00:20:29.420 It's actually,
00:20:29.980 it's inauthentic
00:20:30.760 and condescending
00:20:31.460 and kids can pick up
00:20:32.560 on that.
00:20:32.860 Now, granted,
00:20:36.220 Kamala talks to everybody
00:20:37.320 that way.
00:20:38.680 So, that could have been
00:20:39.600 a group of
00:20:40.340 whatever,
00:20:42.180 business leaders
00:20:43.180 or something,
00:20:44.540 you know,
00:20:44.780 grown adults.
00:20:45.920 And she would probably
00:20:47.380 be using the same tone
00:20:48.480 because this is the
00:20:50.240 reflexive,
00:20:51.020 condescending tone
00:20:51.800 that she uses for everyone.
00:20:52.940 But what does that tell you?
00:20:56.160 All right.
00:20:56.900 Washington,
00:20:57.260 speaking of Kamala Harris,
00:20:58.060 Washington Free Beacon
00:20:58.700 has
00:20:59.160 an interesting story
00:21:02.660 about looking
00:21:04.580 into Kamala Harris'
00:21:05.580 background a little bit
00:21:06.640 and trying to do
00:21:08.660 a bit of a fact check.
00:21:09.800 So, here's the report.
00:21:10.640 I won't read the whole thing.
00:21:12.960 But it says,
00:21:13.420 the first all-female audience
00:21:15.000 ever on the Drew Barrymore show
00:21:16.560 was whooping and cheering
00:21:18.320 for Kamala Harris,
00:21:19.360 its guest of honor,
00:21:20.080 this April
00:21:20.600 when Barrymore's sidekick,
00:21:22.100 Ross Matthews,
00:21:23.620 threw a softball
00:21:24.500 at the vice president.
00:21:25.900 I heard a rumor
00:21:26.720 that you worked
00:21:27.300 at McDonald's.
00:21:29.180 I did.
00:21:29.900 Yes, I did work
00:21:30.480 at McDonald's,
00:21:31.080 laughed Harris.
00:21:31.980 When I was at school,
00:21:32.760 I did fries
00:21:33.500 and then I did the cashier.
00:21:38.640 I bet you did,
00:21:40.900 Kamala Harris.
00:21:41.860 You did the cashier, huh?
00:21:43.880 I didn't know that about you,
00:21:45.200 gasped Barrymore.
00:21:46.580 Neither did anyone
00:21:47.120 who followed Harris'
00:21:47.860 long career in public life.
00:21:48.880 That is,
00:21:49.100 until she ran for president
00:21:49.820 in 2019
00:21:50.280 and began to make the job
00:21:51.620 a centerpiece
00:21:52.180 of her biography.
00:21:53.320 Harris' work at McDonald's,
00:21:54.280 which allegedly took place
00:21:55.280 at a franchise
00:21:55.920 in the California Bay Area
00:21:57.060 the summer after
00:21:58.220 her freshman year
00:21:58.740 in college
00:21:59.100 is a recent addition
00:22:00.020 to her carefully curated
00:22:01.360 life story.
00:22:02.800 For decades,
00:22:03.440 Harris never mentioned it,
00:22:04.460 not on the campaign trail
00:22:05.480 nor in two books.
00:22:06.700 It's absent from a job application
00:22:08.160 and resume she submitted
00:22:09.100 a year after she graduated
00:22:09.900 from college.
00:22:10.960 Third-party biographers
00:22:11.720 did not write about it.
00:22:13.300 Not until Harris ran
00:22:14.240 for president in 2019
00:22:15.060 and spoke to a labor rally
00:22:16.220 in Las Vegas
00:22:16.780 did she mention the job,
00:22:18.140 telling the crowd
00:22:18.680 that she was a student
00:22:19.480 when I was working
00:22:20.120 at a McDonald's.
00:22:22.380 McDonald's boasts
00:22:23.000 that one in eight Americans
00:22:24.700 has worked
00:22:25.100 at the fast food chain,
00:22:25.860 and Harris,
00:22:26.660 whose campaign
00:22:27.160 is light on policy
00:22:27.940 and heavy on image,
00:22:28.960 has been using
00:22:29.440 her fast food job
00:22:30.340 to portray
00:22:30.800 what the Washington Post
00:22:32.040 in a credulous piece
00:22:32.960 this month
00:22:33.360 on the Harris-McDonald's
00:22:34.200 connection described
00:22:34.840 as her humble background.
00:22:37.900 Harris is the daughter
00:22:38.740 of an eminent cancer researcher
00:22:40.080 whom her campaign
00:22:40.880 calls a working mother
00:22:41.880 and a tenured Stanford economist
00:22:44.000 who split when Harris
00:22:46.420 and her sister were children.
00:22:48.900 And then it goes on
00:22:49.540 looking into this.
00:22:51.100 Did she actually
00:22:52.040 work at McDonald's?
00:22:53.240 It appears that she didn't.
00:22:54.220 So this is like
00:22:55.720 the fast food stolen,
00:22:58.500 it's fast food stolen valor,
00:23:00.700 basically.
00:23:01.580 This is the minimum wage
00:23:02.800 equivalent
00:23:03.220 of stolen valor.
00:23:06.600 We've got actual
00:23:07.620 stolen valor
00:23:08.300 from Tim Walls
00:23:09.240 at the bottom of the ticket,
00:23:10.260 and at the top
00:23:10.760 we have the
00:23:11.320 stolen customer service valor.
00:23:16.220 And someone on Twitter
00:23:17.260 said it's a stolen value meal,
00:23:19.540 we might call it,
00:23:20.940 which is a joke
00:23:21.600 that honestly
00:23:22.180 I did think of
00:23:24.020 and I was going to tweet it
00:23:24.880 and someone tweeted it
00:23:25.840 before I had a chance to.
00:23:27.280 And I'm a little bitter
00:23:27.880 about that.
00:23:29.800 I have to say,
00:23:30.560 I take exception to it
00:23:31.640 as someone who actually
00:23:32.620 does have humble origins
00:23:34.120 in the service industry.
00:23:37.000 I never worked
00:23:38.020 at McDonald's myself,
00:23:38.840 but I did work
00:23:39.460 at various pizza places,
00:23:40.920 restaurants, retail,
00:23:43.040 so on and so on.
00:23:44.720 And Kamala Harris
00:23:45.660 is not one of us.
00:23:46.620 She's LARPing as usual.
00:23:48.000 Which, by the way,
00:23:49.940 she says she did fries,
00:23:52.760 which I don't think
00:23:54.080 is the parlance
00:23:54.740 used by McDonald's employees
00:23:56.320 and alumni.
00:23:58.540 And again,
00:23:59.140 I didn't work there,
00:23:59.760 so I don't know,
00:24:00.400 but is that how it even works?
00:24:01.980 Do you have
00:24:02.460 an employee
00:24:04.600 that only does fries?
00:24:07.540 Like,
00:24:08.500 I mean,
00:24:08.760 maybe somebody is selected
00:24:09.880 to be at the fry station
00:24:11.200 or whatever
00:24:11.720 during the lunch rush,
00:24:12.760 but do you have someone
00:24:13.880 whose only job is that
00:24:15.360 until they graduate
00:24:17.020 to cashier?
00:24:17.620 Is that how it goes?
00:24:18.180 Maybe it does.
00:24:19.600 I assume that it works
00:24:20.680 similar to how it did
00:24:21.740 when I was in the pizza business
00:24:23.460 when I was a culinary specialist
00:24:25.000 making pizzas,
00:24:26.320 and if you work there,
00:24:27.320 you did everything.
00:24:28.800 You know,
00:24:28.980 it's not like we had one guy
00:24:29.900 who does the pepperoni,
00:24:31.140 and if there's a pepperoni pizza,
00:24:32.420 he throws it on there,
00:24:33.220 but if it's sausage
00:24:33.840 or green peppers,
00:24:34.680 we can't use them for that.
00:24:36.040 Everyone does everything.
00:24:36.900 You know,
00:24:37.160 you do the pizzas,
00:24:38.160 you work the oven,
00:24:39.380 you go and answer the phones.
00:24:41.220 Now, in my case,
00:24:41.940 I will say that they tended
00:24:42.800 to keep me off the register
00:24:45.940 and phones as much as they could
00:24:47.260 because it'll shock you to learn.
00:24:49.300 You're not going to believe this,
00:24:50.120 but I wasn't very good
00:24:50.940 with customers,
00:24:52.400 and management would get complaints
00:24:55.420 about my attitude
00:24:56.620 when working with customers.
00:24:58.480 This was a constant theme,
00:25:00.720 and one thing I used to do
00:25:02.000 sometimes is when somebody
00:25:04.440 would call,
00:25:05.740 and this is a pet peeve.
00:25:07.580 I hate it.
00:25:08.280 I absolutely hate it.
00:25:08.900 I still hate this,
00:25:10.180 but now we're way off track
00:25:13.460 from Kamala Harris,
00:25:14.160 but who cares?
00:25:16.540 Somebody would call
00:25:17.260 to order a pizza,
00:25:18.240 but they hadn't decided
00:25:20.340 ahead of time
00:25:21.160 what pizzas they wanted,
00:25:23.840 so you know,
00:25:24.460 this is a constant thing.
00:25:25.720 We're in the middle
00:25:26.220 of the dinner rush,
00:25:27.300 and someone calls,
00:25:28.100 I answer the phone,
00:25:29.360 and there's someone
00:25:30.500 on the other line.
00:25:31.000 There's a big group of people.
00:25:31.980 They're having a party,
00:25:32.640 and they're all excited.
00:25:33.300 They want to order pizza,
00:25:34.020 but they didn't pull the room
00:25:35.920 before they picked up
00:25:37.440 the phone to call,
00:25:38.260 so I'm sitting there,
00:25:39.460 and there's pizzas
00:25:40.560 coming out of the conveyor belt
00:25:41.780 falling on the floor,
00:25:42.860 and I'm listening to them
00:25:44.400 debate what kind of pizza
00:25:45.580 they want
00:25:46.000 and what toppings they want,
00:25:47.760 and so in those situations,
00:25:48.800 I would usually say,
00:25:49.960 okay, call me back
00:25:50.660 when you figure it out,
00:25:51.380 and I'd just hang up,
00:25:52.180 and I'd get back
00:25:52.660 to what I was doing,
00:25:53.580 and I was frowned upon.
00:25:54.740 That approach to customer service
00:25:56.160 was very much frowned upon,
00:25:57.580 and there were complaints about it,
00:25:58.800 but I never got fired
00:25:59.980 because why fire me?
00:26:01.540 Whoever replaces me
00:26:02.320 will probably be even worse.
00:26:03.980 Besides,
00:26:04.320 I show up to work on time every day.
00:26:05.620 That's more than most people
00:26:06.600 in these jobs.
00:26:08.380 Anyway,
00:26:09.360 we can talk about
00:26:11.060 our war stories
00:26:11.700 and customer service
00:26:12.560 all day.
00:26:13.660 I mean,
00:26:13.900 I can,
00:26:14.620 you probably can,
00:26:15.620 but Kamala Harris can't,
00:26:17.060 but still does,
00:26:17.980 I guess,
00:26:18.280 and that's how
00:26:19.240 it seems like a small
00:26:20.860 kind of nitpicky thing,
00:26:22.520 right?
00:26:22.780 If she did lie
00:26:23.540 about working
00:26:25.320 at a McDonald's,
00:26:27.120 you might say,
00:26:28.300 well,
00:26:28.620 you know,
00:26:28.940 okay,
00:26:29.860 that's a white lie,
00:26:30.860 and on its own,
00:26:34.860 you might say that,
00:26:35.760 but it's part of an overall story
00:26:38.180 of just this utterly false,
00:26:40.680 fraudulent person
00:26:41.760 who everything that she says
00:26:46.140 is fake
00:26:47.260 and everything about her background
00:26:49.800 is fake.
00:26:51.240 It's not like,
00:26:55.660 it's okay
00:26:56.420 if you didn't work
00:26:57.040 at McDonald's,
00:26:57.620 if you never really worked
00:26:58.440 a customer service job.
00:26:59.640 Most people
00:27:00.380 at this level
00:27:01.080 in politics
00:27:01.660 never did that
00:27:02.800 because most of them
00:27:04.300 did not start,
00:27:05.480 you know,
00:27:05.780 at the bottom
00:27:06.320 and climb their way up.
00:27:07.380 It's just not,
00:27:07.780 it's just not the reality.
00:27:08.800 Now,
00:27:08.920 they all might like
00:27:09.460 to portray themselves
00:27:10.240 that way,
00:27:10.800 but most of them didn't,
00:27:13.160 and that's fine.
00:27:15.220 You can just,
00:27:15.640 you can just admit that.
00:27:17.120 Be authentic
00:27:17.880 and honest
00:27:18.340 about who you are
00:27:19.180 and where you came from.
00:27:22.260 But Kamala Harris
00:27:23.240 can't do that.
00:27:24.500 So this is,
00:27:25.000 this is
00:27:25.700 just part of that
00:27:28.380 overall picture with her.
00:27:30.720 All right,
00:27:30.940 a couple of weeks ago
00:27:31.560 we talked about
00:27:32.360 Ellen Page,
00:27:34.420 now Elliot Page,
00:27:36.900 who of course
00:27:37.540 these days
00:27:37.920 identifies
00:27:38.640 as a man
00:27:40.620 and has had things
00:27:41.780 done to her body
00:27:42.520 to try to make herself
00:27:43.540 look like a man.
00:27:45.220 And I said at the time
00:27:46.380 that
00:27:46.680 it's very telling
00:27:48.200 that Page,
00:27:48.820 despite identifying
00:27:49.800 as a man
00:27:50.560 and supposedly
00:27:51.080 being accepted
00:27:51.760 as a man
00:27:52.740 by Hollywood,
00:27:53.640 it's very telling
00:27:54.600 that she's never
00:27:55.100 been cast
00:27:55.860 as the male lead
00:27:57.260 in a film.
00:27:58.400 She's played
00:27:59.220 trans people
00:28:00.800 in films,
00:28:01.640 but she hasn't
00:28:02.760 played a man
00:28:03.540 in a film.
00:28:04.660 She is a man,
00:28:05.900 allegedly,
00:28:06.500 that's what we're told,
00:28:07.340 that's the claim.
00:28:09.300 They say,
00:28:10.240 she's a man,
00:28:10.820 so like,
00:28:11.240 why wouldn't she
00:28:11.740 play one in a movie?
00:28:13.160 And the answer
00:28:13.880 is that the audience,
00:28:14.840 no matter how woke
00:28:15.640 the audience is,
00:28:16.540 they could never
00:28:17.680 buy her as a man
00:28:19.080 enough to watch
00:28:20.820 a movie where
00:28:21.560 she plays one.
00:28:22.680 It'd just be way
00:28:23.540 too distracting.
00:28:24.180 It strains the
00:28:25.040 suspension of disbelief
00:28:26.200 to its breaking point.
00:28:28.260 And in this sense,
00:28:29.380 in this kind of
00:28:29.760 interesting sense,
00:28:31.200 fiction is more real
00:28:33.600 and more honest
00:28:34.580 than reality
00:28:35.280 in a certain way,
00:28:36.060 you might say,
00:28:36.400 because there are
00:28:37.800 a lot of people
00:28:38.420 who can pretend
00:28:39.240 to see her
00:28:40.120 as a man
00:28:41.000 in her daily life,
00:28:41.840 but in fiction
00:28:43.900 on film,
00:28:45.580 nobody can pretend.
00:28:48.080 And that's why,
00:28:48.860 again,
00:28:49.100 trans people
00:28:49.620 are not cast
00:28:50.660 as the sex
00:28:51.480 they identify
00:28:52.100 as in movies
00:28:53.420 or in TV shows.
00:28:54.340 They may be cast
00:28:55.300 as a person
00:28:55.820 who identifies
00:28:56.420 as that sex.
00:28:57.780 They might be cast
00:28:58.360 as a trans person,
00:28:59.880 but they're not
00:29:01.060 going to be cast
00:29:01.480 as a person
00:29:02.380 of that sex.
00:29:04.100 So to use their language
00:29:05.340 for just a moment,
00:29:06.020 you don't see trans people
00:29:07.080 being cast as
00:29:08.040 quote-unquote
00:29:08.920 cis people.
00:29:10.660 And I'm just
00:29:10.960 using their language.
00:29:11.980 It's me using
00:29:12.660 their language.
00:29:13.200 I would never
00:29:13.480 use that term
00:29:13.960 myself,
00:29:14.680 non-ironically,
00:29:16.060 but you don't
00:29:18.360 see that.
00:29:20.820 Most of the time,
00:29:21.640 and there are
00:29:22.060 exceptions,
00:29:23.240 and the exceptions
00:29:23.880 really prove
00:29:24.420 the rule here.
00:29:25.580 There have been
00:29:26.100 a few cases,
00:29:26.820 a few cases
00:29:27.380 of a trans person
00:29:28.220 being cast
00:29:28.820 as the sex
00:29:29.440 they identify as,
00:29:30.580 and they just show
00:29:31.520 how absurd
00:29:32.100 the whole thing is.
00:29:33.540 So yesterday,
00:29:33.980 a guy named
00:29:34.380 Bill Moon
00:29:35.000 on Twitter
00:29:35.480 posted a thread
00:29:36.360 about what he says
00:29:37.220 is one of the worst
00:29:37.760 movies ever made
00:29:38.500 that he just watched.
00:29:39.880 It's a film I never
00:29:40.660 heard of,
00:29:41.140 but it came out
00:29:41.560 apparently a couple
00:29:42.080 of years ago.
00:29:42.580 It's called
00:29:42.820 Dr. Jekyll,
00:29:44.460 and it stars
00:29:45.060 the comedian
00:29:45.560 Eddie Izzard,
00:29:46.520 who these days
00:29:47.460 identifies as a woman.
00:29:49.060 And in the movie,
00:29:50.780 apparently,
00:29:52.140 he is playing
00:29:53.540 a woman.
00:29:54.200 He's not playing
00:29:55.000 a quote-unquote
00:29:55.660 trans woman.
00:29:56.780 He's playing a woman,
00:29:57.940 just a straight-up woman.
00:29:59.160 That's what we're
00:29:59.880 supposed to do.
00:30:00.320 This is just a woman,
00:30:01.400 and that's what
00:30:02.980 he's playing.
00:30:04.380 And by the way,
00:30:05.160 this is not a comedy.
00:30:05.980 This is like a drama
00:30:07.180 slash horror film,
00:30:08.700 I guess.
00:30:10.080 And Bill Moon
00:30:10.640 goes into detail
00:30:11.360 about why this movie
00:30:12.020 is terrible.
00:30:12.560 I'm sure it is,
00:30:13.160 but the main point
00:30:14.500 for our purposes here
00:30:15.400 is that they have
00:30:17.220 a man playing a woman,
00:30:18.560 and at no point
00:30:21.520 does the film
00:30:22.020 apparently acknowledge
00:30:22.880 that this is a man
00:30:24.300 in a dress.
00:30:25.100 The audience is supposed
00:30:26.000 to just take him
00:30:26.680 seriously as a woman.
00:30:29.160 And here's a clip
00:30:30.260 to show you
00:30:30.880 just how ridiculous
00:30:32.300 this looks in practice.
00:30:34.100 Here it is.
00:30:34.480 I'm dangling baits,
00:30:41.240 Ron.
00:30:45.580 What do you mean?
00:30:49.440 With my mouth,
00:30:50.480 I was baiting you.
00:30:52.540 You must have played
00:31:02.020 a lot of chess
00:31:02.960 in prison.
00:31:05.240 Well, there was this
00:31:06.220 guy who taught me
00:31:08.100 who was pretty good.
00:31:12.440 Freddy was not that good.
00:31:13.680 Check.
00:31:13.980 Yeah, so that's...
00:31:17.040 It's a little confusing
00:31:18.280 because you watch that clip
00:31:19.240 and you say,
00:31:20.080 well, there are,
00:31:20.680 you know,
00:31:21.100 there's...
00:31:22.380 There are two men
00:31:24.860 in that clip,
00:31:25.680 and there are,
00:31:26.380 but the man
00:31:27.160 with the deep,
00:31:28.220 gravelly voice
00:31:29.040 and wider shoulders
00:31:31.120 and a bigger chin
00:31:32.580 than the other man
00:31:33.680 in that scene,
00:31:35.360 you know,
00:31:35.560 the one that's actually
00:31:36.000 playing a man,
00:31:36.780 that guy is supposed
00:31:37.700 to be the woman.
00:31:40.440 Like, arguably,
00:31:41.420 the one who's supposed
00:31:41.880 to play the woman
00:31:42.440 looks more like a man
00:31:44.200 than the man
00:31:45.120 that's a man in the scene.
00:31:47.500 And we're supposed
00:31:48.220 to watch that
00:31:49.100 and experience
00:31:50.240 this character
00:31:51.060 as a woman,
00:31:52.280 believe him
00:31:53.020 as a woman.
00:31:54.520 We're supposed
00:31:55.060 to see something
00:31:56.080 when we watch that,
00:31:57.680 something other than
00:31:58.660 a guy in a dress.
00:32:00.680 But nobody can.
00:32:03.640 You know,
00:32:03.880 no one can actually...
00:32:04.560 There's a reason
00:32:05.000 that this movie
00:32:05.420 was a total failure.
00:32:07.300 I mean, sure,
00:32:08.000 it's bad in many
00:32:08.720 other respects,
00:32:09.280 I'm sure,
00:32:09.700 but it never had a chance
00:32:10.860 to get off the ground
00:32:11.600 because
00:32:12.040 you know,
00:32:14.260 I mean,
00:32:15.100 think of the
00:32:16.160 suspending our disbelief
00:32:17.840 in a literal
00:32:18.380 physical sense.
00:32:20.120 The wires
00:32:20.840 that are suspending
00:32:21.960 our disbelief
00:32:22.840 just kind of
00:32:24.380 snap
00:32:25.140 the moment
00:32:26.100 we see this guy
00:32:27.300 on screen.
00:32:28.060 The whole thing
00:32:28.400 comes tumbling down.
00:32:30.140 It's like if
00:32:30.980 someone did
00:32:32.100 a biographical film
00:32:34.380 about,
00:32:34.900 let's say,
00:32:36.240 Shaquille O'Neal
00:32:37.060 and they cast
00:32:39.000 like Sidney Sweeney
00:32:40.400 to play him.
00:32:42.660 And imagine
00:32:43.180 that the film
00:32:43.900 never at any point
00:32:44.980 acknowledges
00:32:45.700 that Shaq
00:32:46.880 in this movie
00:32:47.500 is a tiny white woman.
00:32:48.700 There's never any joke
00:32:49.720 made about it.
00:32:50.340 It's not played
00:32:50.840 for a laugh.
00:32:51.680 There's no wink
00:32:52.440 to the audience.
00:32:53.040 We're supposed to just like
00:32:53.780 see this tiny white woman
00:32:55.820 as though she was
00:32:57.140 a seven and a half foot
00:32:58.600 tall black man.
00:32:59.300 It's like that.
00:33:01.520 And for a comedy
00:33:02.860 it might work
00:33:03.680 but this Dr. Jekyll movie
00:33:05.460 apparently appears
00:33:06.580 to be something
00:33:07.000 other than a comedy
00:33:07.760 and so it just
00:33:08.540 doesn't work.
00:33:09.100 And this is how
00:33:10.640 I guess you might say
00:33:13.480 this is how
00:33:14.380 this is how we will know
00:33:16.000 that we've actually
00:33:17.940 entered our
00:33:19.180 progressive utopia.
00:33:20.700 when somebody
00:33:22.760 like Eddie Izzard
00:33:23.700 can play a woman
00:33:24.760 in a movie
00:33:25.620 and everybody
00:33:27.720 watches it
00:33:28.500 and nobody
00:33:30.100 is distracted
00:33:31.020 by the fact
00:33:31.920 that this is a dude
00:33:32.660 in a dress.
00:33:33.380 When that happens
00:33:34.440 we will know
00:33:35.960 that the trans activists
00:33:37.180 have won.
00:33:37.860 They've actually
00:33:38.340 changed.
00:33:39.600 They've succeeded
00:33:40.260 in changing
00:33:40.920 our perception
00:33:41.740 to such a dramatic
00:33:43.320 extent
00:33:43.840 that we can
00:33:45.600 just accept
00:33:47.020 that on screen
00:33:47.740 and not be
00:33:48.680 bothered by it
00:33:49.460 or distracted
00:33:50.220 by it.
00:33:52.460 Because that of course
00:33:53.340 has been the goal
00:33:54.320 of the trans activists.
00:33:55.240 This is what
00:33:55.600 it's all about.
00:33:57.160 This is what
00:33:57.480 the insisting
00:33:59.520 on the pronouns
00:34:00.180 and everything else
00:34:01.080 yeah it's about
00:34:03.200 controlling our behavior.
00:34:04.760 It's about exercising
00:34:05.620 control and power
00:34:06.660 over us
00:34:07.300 and they take
00:34:08.620 a lot of
00:34:09.020 they get
00:34:09.900 quite a thrill
00:34:11.120 out of exercising
00:34:12.160 that kind of control
00:34:12.880 and power
00:34:13.160 but
00:34:13.380 but
00:34:15.520 beyond that
00:34:16.720 and at a deeper level
00:34:18.040 they are actually
00:34:18.780 trying to change
00:34:19.620 our perception.
00:34:22.320 It's very much
00:34:23.060 a fake it
00:34:23.500 till you make it
00:34:24.060 kind of strategy
00:34:25.040 where they want us
00:34:26.200 to fake it.
00:34:26.660 They want us to fake
00:34:27.440 like we
00:34:27.940 you know
00:34:28.540 like we accept
00:34:29.680 a quote unquote
00:34:30.120 trans woman
00:34:31.660 as an actual woman.
00:34:33.220 They want us
00:34:33.840 to pretend
00:34:34.240 that we do
00:34:34.860 and keep pretending
00:34:36.940 so that we condition
00:34:37.840 ourselves
00:34:38.240 so that eventually
00:34:39.820 we actually do
00:34:41.000 see it
00:34:41.400 so that our perception
00:34:42.340 our perception
00:34:43.340 of reality
00:34:43.900 is distorted
00:34:45.060 but
00:34:49.000 that will never happen
00:34:50.840 like that will never
00:34:52.700 ever actually happen
00:34:54.420 there will
00:34:56.380 there will
00:34:56.840 using this
00:34:58.100 Dr. Jekyll movie
00:34:59.100 as a litmus test
00:34:59.960 I will
00:35:01.200 I am
00:35:01.620 I feel quite secure
00:35:03.380 saying right now
00:35:04.380 that
00:35:04.640 there will never be a time
00:35:06.860 at any point
00:35:09.800 in the future
00:35:10.200 when a majority
00:35:11.600 of people
00:35:11.920 can watch that movie
00:35:13.000 and see anything
00:35:14.980 but
00:35:15.440 a man in a dress
00:35:16.620 it will never happen
00:35:17.980 because
00:35:20.420 as I've said
00:35:21.480 many times
00:35:22.120 you know
00:35:23.380 reality
00:35:24.940 always wins
00:35:25.880 in the end
00:35:26.380 you cannot escape reality
00:35:28.480 we're all living in it
00:35:29.600 whether you like it
00:35:30.240 or not
00:35:30.620 and that means
00:35:33.780 that the trans activists
00:35:34.600 will
00:35:34.940 will never
00:35:35.820 actually win
00:35:36.640 and can't
00:35:37.560 which is the good news

00:35:40.760 with back taxes

00:35:45.740 and sending millions
00:35:46.500 of demand letters

00:37:07.200 building the future
00:37:07.940 we've taken on huge battles
00:37:09.420 like when we sued
00:37:10.180 the Biden administration
00:37:10.920 over mandatory
00:37:11.700 COVID vaccines
00:37:12.560 and won
00:37:13.020 went after the global
00:37:14.260 media cartel
00:37:15.060 GARM
00:37:15.560 that was censoring
00:37:16.140 conservative voices
00:37:16.840 and guess what
00:37:17.420 dismantled it

00:37:46.700 now let's get to
00:37:47.880 our daily cancellation
00:37:48.720 one of the criticisms
00:37:57.320 of Kamala Harris
00:37:57.980 that you often hear
00:37:58.760 on this show
00:37:59.480 and many other places
00:38:00.400 is that she has not
00:38:01.260 achieved anything
00:38:02.080 of note
00:38:02.520 her political career
00:38:03.300 has been marked
00:38:03.860 by its mediocrity
00:38:05.520 its lack of accomplishment
00:38:06.620 even when she became
00:38:07.820 her party's presidential nominee
00:38:08.820 she did it without
00:38:09.440 earning any votes
00:38:10.300 her only real skill
00:38:11.420 you might say
00:38:11.940 is accomplishing things
00:38:12.920 without accomplishing them
00:38:14.240 this is a problem
00:38:15.660 for the Harris campaign
00:38:16.800 to put it mildly
00:38:17.700 it's a problem
00:38:18.300 they need to find a way
00:38:19.940 to present
00:38:20.560 this mediocre
00:38:21.520 middling woman
00:38:22.480 as something
00:38:23.040 much more than that
00:38:24.300 need to find a way
00:38:25.340 to highlight her achievements
00:38:26.460 in spite of the fact
00:38:27.280 that no such things exist
00:38:29.380 and that explains
00:38:30.280 why this tweet
00:38:31.020 was published
00:38:31.460 from Kamala's account
00:38:32.120 yesterday
00:38:32.500 Emmett Till
00:38:33.800 was murdered in 1955
00:38:35.140 this is her now
00:38:36.260 writing this
00:38:37.340 he was only 14 years old
00:38:39.140 as a US senator
00:38:40.040 I led the effort
00:38:41.020 to make lynching
00:38:41.920 a federal hate crime
00:38:42.940 as vice president
00:38:43.760 I proudly stood
00:38:44.500 beside Joe Biden
00:38:45.320 as he signed
00:38:46.140 the Emmett Till
00:38:47.000 anti-lynching act
00:38:48.240 into law
00:38:48.720 as president
00:38:49.620 I will continue
00:38:50.520 the fight
00:38:50.940 for equality
00:38:51.660 and justice
00:38:52.340 this is accompanied
00:38:53.620 by a photo of her
00:38:54.480 as she says
00:38:54.940 proudly standing
00:38:55.700 beside Joe Biden
00:38:57.240 earlier in the week
00:38:58.460 the Kamala campaign
00:38:59.140 was desperately
00:38:59.700 trying to distance
00:39:00.440 itself from Biden
00:39:01.240 there was even
00:39:01.780 an article published
00:39:02.620 hitting J.D. Vance
00:39:03.700 for his attempts
00:39:04.280 to tie Kamala to Biden
00:39:05.700 because what sort of
00:39:06.460 fake news peddling
00:39:07.740 misinformation merchant
00:39:08.840 would make the
00:39:10.060 outlandish claim
00:39:10.960 that the vice president
00:39:12.000 has any ties
00:39:12.840 whatsoever
00:39:13.200 to the president
00:39:14.060 that's just
00:39:15.300 J.D. Vance
00:39:15.880 being a weirdo
00:39:16.540 again I guess
00:39:17.220 but now Kamala
00:39:18.700 is linking herself
00:39:19.520 to Biden once more
00:39:20.340 in an effort
00:39:20.740 to bolster
00:39:21.300 her own resume
00:39:21.940 this is a woman
00:39:23.340 desperate to be
00:39:25.220 seen as accomplished
00:39:26.100 and what is the
00:39:27.340 accomplishment here
00:39:27.920 she stood beside
00:39:29.180 Joe Biden
00:39:29.740 while he signed
00:39:30.440 a bill
00:39:30.900 a very impressive
00:39:33.060 feat we all
00:39:33.740 must admit
00:39:34.280 the way that she's
00:39:35.760 standing there
00:39:36.600 watching as someone
00:39:37.620 else does something
00:39:38.420 not much of an
00:39:41.380 accomplishment
00:39:41.660 but it'll have to do
00:39:42.760 yet the real problem
00:39:43.960 here is the law
00:39:44.640 itself
00:39:44.960 the Emmett Till
00:39:46.140 Anti-Lynching Act
00:39:47.260 that Biden is
00:39:47.900 signing in the photo
00:39:49.180 we talked about this
00:39:50.280 back when the bill
00:39:51.160 was passed
00:39:51.600 two years ago
00:39:52.200 but now that Kamala
00:39:53.480 is bringing it up
00:39:54.220 again it's worth
00:39:54.820 remembering and
00:39:55.460 reflecting on
00:39:56.120 the utter
00:39:57.600 shameless absurdity
00:39:59.340 of this piece
00:40:00.120 of legislation
00:40:00.740 before we do that
00:40:02.220 let's get a quick
00:40:03.000 rundown
00:40:03.600 of what this bill
00:40:04.660 is
00:40:05.100 and why it was
00:40:06.180 passed
00:40:06.600 from ABC News Watch
00:40:08.020 tonight a historic
00:40:09.360 moment in Washington
00:40:10.440 after more than
00:40:11.200 a century of failed
00:40:12.480 attempts
00:40:12.900 lynching is now set
00:40:14.540 to become a federal
00:40:15.380 hate crime
00:40:15.980 we take a look at
00:40:16.720 the Emmett Till
00:40:17.380 Anti-Lynching Act
00:40:18.640 by the numbers
00:40:19.740 the Senate unanimously
00:40:21.180 passed the law
00:40:22.080 late Monday
00:40:22.720 in this divisive
00:40:23.700 political climate
00:40:24.480 that means all 100
00:40:26.080 senators agreed to it
00:40:27.460 this comes after a
00:40:28.760 stunning at least
00:40:29.600 200 efforts to pass
00:40:31.160 some version of this
00:40:31.960 bill over the past
00:40:32.760 100 years
00:40:33.640 once signed into law
00:40:35.140 lynching will be
00:40:35.840 punishable by up to
00:40:37.020 30 years in prison
00:40:38.320 the bill has been
00:40:39.360 championed by
00:40:39.940 representative Bobby
00:40:40.920 Rush of Chicago
00:40:41.760 since 2018
00:40:42.860 the act is named
00:40:44.280 after Emmett Till
00:40:45.400 who was from
00:40:46.000 Chicago's south side
00:40:47.220 Till was 14 years old
00:40:49.060 when he was kidnapped
00:40:49.900 beaten and lynched
00:40:51.140 in Mississippi
00:40:51.760 in August of 1955
00:40:53.400 after being accused
00:40:54.840 of whistling
00:40:55.320 at a white woman
00:40:56.060 the museum now stands
00:40:57.380 in Montgomery, Alabama
00:40:58.420 paying tribute
00:40:59.140 to what's reported
00:40:59.980 to be nearly
00:41:00.940 6,500 racial terror
00:41:02.840 lynchings
00:41:03.280 between 1865
00:41:04.680 and 1950
00:41:05.680 black Americans
00:41:07.580 remain the most
00:41:08.260 targeted group
00:41:09.060 in the U.S.
00:41:09.560 when it comes
00:41:10.060 to reported hate
00:41:10.840 crimes
00:41:11.160 they made up
00:41:12.020 34% of all hate
00:41:13.680 crimes in 2020
00:41:14.700 according to the FBI
00:41:15.880 Senator Tim Scott
00:41:17.560 who has spent
00:41:18.100 two years leading
00:41:19.040 the push to get
00:41:19.720 this passed
00:41:20.320 in the Senate
00:41:20.780 called this
00:41:21.340 a necessary
00:41:22.460 and long overdue
00:41:23.580 step toward
00:41:24.200 a more unified
00:41:25.160 and just America
00:41:26.720 yes a necessary
00:41:28.160 step
00:41:28.680 Tim Scott said
00:41:29.780 and apparently
00:41:31.000 the entire Senate
00:41:31.940 agreed
00:41:32.300 as the report
00:41:33.220 mentions
00:41:33.540 this thing
00:41:33.880 was passed
00:41:34.340 unanimously
00:41:35.080 not one member
00:41:36.440 of the Senate
00:41:36.920 could find
00:41:37.360 any reason
00:41:37.940 to object
00:41:38.300 to it
00:41:38.640 that's how
00:41:39.580 necessary it was
00:41:40.600 not just necessary
00:41:41.860 but historic
00:41:42.580 so necessary
00:41:44.260 and historic
00:41:44.620 that two years
00:41:45.480 later
00:41:45.760 Kamala Harris
00:41:46.300 is still bragging
00:41:47.000 about it
00:41:47.360 as one of her
00:41:47.800 signal achievements
00:41:48.580 even though
00:41:49.120 all she did
00:41:50.100 was stand there
00:41:50.600 and smile
00:41:51.000 while Biden
00:41:51.580 signed the bill
00:41:52.720 but was this
00:41:54.800 bill necessary
00:41:55.500 I guess
00:41:57.020 obviously it was
00:41:57.760 I mean
00:41:58.020 lynching
00:41:58.980 had to be made
00:41:59.700 illegal
00:42:00.060 and thank God
00:42:01.360 that it finally
00:42:02.080 was made illegal
00:42:02.760 as you know
00:42:03.240 prior to Joe Biden
00:42:04.220 heroically passing
00:42:05.080 this legislation
00:42:05.800 and Kamala Harris
00:42:07.080 heroically standing
00:42:08.000 and smiling
00:42:08.520 while she watched
00:42:09.480 it get passed
00:42:10.080 lynching was legal
00:42:11.680 in most states
00:42:12.820 in the union
00:42:13.780 as recently as the year
00:42:14.860 2021
00:42:15.280 you know
00:42:16.280 you could go out
00:42:16.780 and do a lynching
00:42:17.780 anytime you wanted
00:42:18.900 actually in some localities
00:42:20.320 I don't know if you knew this
00:42:20.800 but you'd even be rewarded
00:42:21.980 for lynching someone
00:42:23.000 like they'd come out
00:42:24.340 and they'd give you
00:42:24.960 a free coupon
00:42:25.580 and a pack of stickers
00:42:26.400 and a lollipop
00:42:27.080 and they'd say
00:42:27.480 good job on the lynching
00:42:28.340 and it fell to Joe Biden
00:42:30.520 and Kamala Harris
00:42:31.340 and a bipartisan group
00:42:32.320 of senators
00:42:32.720 to step in and say
00:42:33.620 no
00:42:34.020 stop this
00:42:34.720 lynching is bad
00:42:35.940 you can't
00:42:36.780 we're done with the lynching
00:42:37.900 folks
00:42:38.320 without their intervention
00:42:39.940 I think the lynchings
00:42:41.240 would have continued
00:42:42.020 at least that's what
00:42:43.980 we're supposed to think
00:42:45.080 I guess
00:42:45.520 but back here
00:42:46.760 in realityville
00:42:47.560 which is where I prefer
00:42:48.440 to spend most of my time
00:42:49.600 lynching was actually
00:42:51.940 of course
00:42:52.280 already a crime
00:42:53.160 and if anybody
00:42:54.400 was lynched
00:42:55.240 even though nobody
00:42:55.900 has been lynched
00:42:57.320 in this country
00:42:58.080 in like 40 years
00:42:58.980 but if it did happen
00:43:00.720 the person responsible
00:43:01.720 was already sure
00:43:02.960 to go to prison
00:43:03.620 for a very long time
00:43:04.700 lynching was already
00:43:06.280 very illegal
00:43:07.040 murder was also
00:43:08.480 illegal
00:43:08.960 now of course
00:43:10.040 the claim is that
00:43:10.840 and we've seen this
00:43:12.660 being argued again
00:43:13.720 on social media
00:43:15.500 after that tweet
00:43:16.100 from Kamala Harris
00:43:16.740 the claim is that
00:43:17.800 well
00:43:18.060 yeah lynching
00:43:19.320 was already
00:43:19.840 very extremely
00:43:20.940 illegal in this country
00:43:21.900 but it wasn't
00:43:23.020 a hate crime
00:43:23.660 the anti-lynching act
00:43:25.080 performed the important
00:43:26.120 and necessary service
00:43:26.840 of turning it
00:43:27.580 into a hate crime
00:43:28.440 but leaving aside
00:43:30.060 any philosophical
00:43:30.960 problems that
00:43:31.680 a smart person
00:43:32.320 might have
00:43:32.760 with the legal
00:43:33.360 concept of hate
00:43:34.280 crimes in general
00:43:35.120 we should note
00:43:36.380 that in fact
00:43:37.700 lynching was
00:43:38.880 already a hate
00:43:39.980 crime too
00:43:40.800 before this bill
00:43:42.240 was passed
00:43:42.780 if a black man
00:43:43.860 was lynched
00:43:44.500 in this country
00:43:45.080 something that again
00:43:45.820 hasn't happened
00:43:46.880 in many decades
00:43:47.640 and almost certainly
00:43:48.240 will not happen
00:43:48.980 ever again anyway
00:43:50.160 but if it did
00:43:52.000 and a black man
00:43:53.380 was lynched
00:43:53.800 it would qualify
00:43:54.980 as murder
00:43:56.040 and therefore
00:43:56.640 be illegal
00:43:57.180 and it would qualify
00:43:58.800 as a hate crime
00:43:59.500 because it would be
00:44:00.120 a racially motivated
00:44:01.340 murder
00:44:01.800 racially motivated
00:44:03.200 murders
00:44:03.660 whether done
00:44:04.220 through lynching
00:44:04.860 or by any other
00:44:05.780 means
00:44:06.220 were already
00:44:07.480 hate crimes
00:44:08.140 in this country
00:44:08.740 it was already
00:44:09.940 very much
00:44:10.640 completely and totally
00:44:11.800 a hate crime
00:44:12.600 to lynch a black
00:44:13.440 person
00:44:13.800 before this bill
00:44:14.840 was passed
00:44:15.280 it was illegal
00:44:16.820 it was a crime
00:44:17.760 it was murder
00:44:18.560 it was a hate crime
00:44:19.380 it was all of those
00:44:20.400 things already
00:44:20.960 so it was illegal
00:44:22.400 about three times
00:44:23.460 over
00:44:23.760 this bill made it
00:44:25.100 illegal a fourth time
00:44:26.320 I mean
00:44:28.580 is that even enough
00:44:29.400 we have to wonder
00:44:30.040 perhaps we should
00:44:30.860 pass a bill
00:44:31.340 making lynching
00:44:31.960 illegal a fifth time
00:44:32.860 and a sixth time
00:44:33.420 and a seventh
00:44:33.820 I won't rest
00:44:34.840 until every person
00:44:35.680 who commits a lynching
00:44:36.360 in the modern
00:44:37.060 United States
00:44:37.740 all zero of them
00:44:39.240 can be charged
00:44:40.180 with the same crime
00:44:41.400 ten thousand times
00:44:42.800 I say we throw them
00:44:43.860 in prison until they die
00:44:44.800 then dig them up
00:44:45.960 put them on trial again
00:44:46.900 and then put them
00:44:47.780 in prison again
00:44:48.460 until they die again
00:44:49.360 and so on and so on
00:44:50.420 for all eternity
00:44:51.060 this is apparently
00:44:52.600 the thinking
00:44:53.320 I guess
00:44:53.700 you know this week
00:44:55.280 Donald Trump
00:44:55.820 is being excoriated
00:44:57.600 by the media
00:44:58.580 for as they claim
00:45:00.180 staging a photo op
00:45:02.500 at the Arlington
00:45:03.740 National Cemetery
00:45:04.620 Trump was there
00:45:05.940 for a wreath laying
00:45:07.040 ceremony
00:45:07.540 for the service members
00:45:08.560 killed in Afghanistan
00:45:09.360 during a suicide bomb attack
00:45:11.900 at the airport
00:45:12.380 in 2021
00:45:13.440 now the photo op claim
00:45:16.280 is ridiculous
00:45:17.000 of course
00:45:17.460 it's pretty standard
00:45:18.400 for photos to be taken
00:45:19.520 during a ceremony
00:45:20.280 like that
00:45:20.900 with a presidential candidate
00:45:22.320 in attendance
00:45:22.860 so this is the gaslighting
00:45:24.220 the media does
00:45:24.680 because you might
00:45:25.080 you might hear about
00:45:25.800 the outrage
00:45:26.540 the photos were taken
00:45:27.940 at Arlington National Cemetery
00:45:29.600 and you might hear that
00:45:30.500 and think to yourself
00:45:30.940 wait a second
00:45:31.380 aren't there photos
00:45:31.980 taken all the time
00:45:32.640 like haven't I seen
00:45:33.820 many photos
00:45:35.040 of politicians and presidents
00:45:36.400 at Arlington National Cemetery
00:45:37.800 isn't that a very normal thing
00:45:39.080 I've seen a thousand
00:45:40.180 freaking times
00:45:40.800 the answer is yes
00:45:42.320 you have
00:45:42.780 but you're supposed to
00:45:43.440 pretend that none
00:45:44.260 of that's ever happened
00:45:44.780 this is unprecedented
00:45:46.940 to have a photo
00:45:48.680 taken there
00:45:49.240 and the real scandal
00:45:53.160 we want
00:45:53.740 they tell us
00:45:54.220 is not that
00:45:54.780 you know
00:45:55.620 well
00:45:55.900 the actual scandal
00:45:57.320 is not that
00:45:57.940 Trump attended
00:45:58.640 but that Joe Biden
00:45:59.600 did not attend
00:46:00.540 that's what we should
00:46:01.000 actually be focused on
00:46:01.780 he's the one
00:46:02.600 who got these service
00:46:03.380 members killed
00:46:04.000 and yet he could even
00:46:05.700 be bothered to show up
00:46:07.020 and pay his respects
00:46:07.660 he's too busy lounging
00:46:08.760 on the beach right now
00:46:09.680 which is how he spent
00:46:11.280 the majority
00:46:11.820 of his non-existent presidency
00:46:13.180 the claim is that
00:46:15.080 Trump was using
00:46:16.060 the graves
00:46:16.560 of our fallen soldiers
00:46:17.440 to advance
00:46:18.040 his own political agenda
00:46:19.020 and that claim
00:46:20.200 as I said
00:46:20.680 is incredibly ridiculous
00:46:21.800 and unfair
00:46:22.440 but
00:46:24.440 if you want to know
00:46:26.220 what using graves
00:46:27.560 to advance your political agenda
00:46:28.960 looks like
00:46:29.700 well look no further
00:46:31.280 than this
00:46:31.640 look no further
00:46:32.220 than the
00:46:32.760 Emmett Till
00:46:34.120 anti-lynching act
00:46:35.440 and politicians
00:46:36.640 like Kamala Harris
00:46:37.580 who are still
00:46:38.200 waving it around
00:46:39.260 for brownie points
00:46:40.100 lynching doesn't happen
00:46:42.420 in this country anymore
00:46:43.460 if it does
00:46:44.760 it's illegal
00:46:45.660 in 20 different ways
00:46:46.720 and will be prosecuted
00:46:47.700 to the fullest extent
00:46:48.480 of the law
00:46:48.880 as it should be
00:46:49.600 and obviously will be
00:46:50.620 but
00:46:52.020 these kinds of crimes
00:46:54.100 have occurred in the past
00:46:55.400 people have died this way
00:46:57.000 and people like
00:46:58.920 Kamala Harris
00:46:59.720 are shamelessly using
00:47:01.140 those tragedies
00:47:01.980 as a way to
00:47:02.700 virtue signal
00:47:03.400 and boast about
00:47:05.200 accomplishments
00:47:05.700 that don't exist
00:47:06.840 and that's why
00:47:08.860 the anti-lynching bill
00:47:10.100 wasn't just
00:47:10.660 unnecessary and absurd
00:47:11.760 it was also grotesque
00:47:13.020 and that's why
00:47:14.820 it is today
00:47:15.560 finally
00:47:16.700 canceled
00:47:17.520 that'll do it for the show today
00:47:19.160 thanks for watching
00:47:19.680 thanks for listening
00:47:20.180 talk to you
00:47:20.840 tomorrow
00:47:21.680 have a great day
00:47:22.640 Godspeed
00:47:23.120 Republicans or Nazis
00:47:30.840 you cannot separate yourselves
00:47:32.980 from the bad
00:47:33.780 white people
00:47:34.520 growing up
00:47:35.220 I never thought much
00:47:36.020 about race
00:47:36.600 never really seemed
00:47:37.480 to matter that much
00:47:38.480 at least not to me
00:47:39.300 am I racist
00:47:40.440 I would really appreciate it
00:47:41.540 if you love
00:47:41.940 I'm trying to learn
00:47:42.480 I'm on this journey
00:47:43.240 I'm gonna sort this out
00:47:44.880 I need to go deeper
00:47:45.940 undercover
00:47:46.500 they don't say I'm racist
00:47:49.360 joining us now
00:47:50.220 is Matt

00:47:52.920 here's my certification
00:47:53.800 what you're doing
00:47:54.620 is you're stretching
00:47:55.320 out of your whiteness
00:47:56.800 this is more for you
00:47:57.480 than this for you
00:47:57.860 is America inherently racist
00:47:59.420 the word inherent
00:48:00.400 is challenging there
00:48:01.420 you want to rename
00:48:01.960 the George Washington Monument
00:48:02.980 to the George Floyd Monument
00:48:04.300 America is racist
00:48:05.420 to its bones
00:48:06.240 so inherently
00:48:07.040 yeah
00:48:07.500 this country is a piece
