The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1433 - When Wildfires Strike, Canada Blames Racism Instead of Taking Action

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, 0.70

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. 0.90

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. 1.00

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. 0.52

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, 1.00

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, 0.53

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? 0.84

00:14:36.640 Trans person shoots up a Christian school. 1.00

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, 0.76

00:15:27.240 these are like the schizophrenic, 0.77

00:15:28.560 drug-addled homeless people 0.91

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, 0.85

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 0.81

00:17:16.660 by crazy left-wingers on YouTube 0.83

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 0.71

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 0.84

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. 1.00

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 0.68

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 0.91

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. 0.85

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? 0.93

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. 0.91

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, 0.99

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 0.88

00:26:41.760 who everything that she says

00:26:46.140 is fake

00:26:47.260 and everything about her background 0.89

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 0.56

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 0.92

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, 0.87

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 0.84

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 0.99

00:29:05.340 for just a moment,

00:29:06.020 you don't see trans people 1.00

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. 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.99

00:30:30.880 just how ridiculous 0.97

00:30:32.300 this looks in practice. 0.92

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 0.99

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 0.99

00:32:46.880 in this movie

00:32:47.500 is a tiny white woman. 1.00

00:32:48.700 There's never any joke 0.91

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 0.99

00:32:55.820 as though she was

00:32:57.140 a seven and a half foot 0.92

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 0.94

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

00:35:47.140 handling this alone

00:35:48.620 can be a huge mistake

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

00:37:15.060 GARM

00:37:15.560 that was censoring

00:37:16.140 conservative voices

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 0.99

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 0.99

00:38:21.520 middling woman 0.99

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.81

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 1.00

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 0.97

00:42:16.780 and do a lynching 0.99

00:42:17.780 anytime you wanted 0.91

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 1.00

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 0.94

00:43:42.780 if a black man 0.89

00:43:43.860 was lynched 0.99

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 0.98

00:43:52.000 and a black man 0.97

00:43:53.380 was lynched 0.97

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 0.97

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 1.00

00:44:12.600 to lynch a black 1.00

00:44:13.440 person 1.00

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 0.52

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 1.00

00:44:43.860 in prison until they die 1.00

00:44:44.800 then dig them up 0.98

00:44:45.960 put them on trial again

00:44:46.900 and then put them

00:44:47.780 in prison again 1.00

00:44:48.460 until they die again

00:44:49.360 and so on and so on 0.96

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 0.93

00:45:17.000 of course 0.98

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 0.99

00:46:20.680 is incredibly ridiculous 0.99

00:46:21.800 and unfair 0.98

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 0.90

00:47:23.120 Republicans or Nazis

00:47:30.840 you cannot separate yourselves

00:47:32.980 from the bad 1.00

00:47:33.780 white people 0.99

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

00:47:50.760 certified DEI expert

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 0.83

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 0.98

00:48:05.420 to its bones 0.99

00:48:06.240 so inherently

00:48:07.040 yeah

00:48:07.500 this country is a piece 0.97

00:48:08.480 white folks 0.99

00:48:11.360 white supremacy 0.99

00:48:12.600 white woman 1.00

00:48:13.200 white boy

00:48:13.760 is there a black person

00:48:14.840 around here
