The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1439 - Our Towns And Our Pets Aren’t Safe Thanks to Third-World Migrants

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matwell Show, a surge of immigration from Haiti is destroying communities in America, 1.00

00:00:04.320 even those thousands of miles away from Haiti. 0.80

00:00:06.480 It's gotten so bad that, according to many reports, the Haitian immigrants are killing 0.97

00:00:09.920 and eating people's household pets. 0.91

00:00:12.340 Will this be the thing that finally convinces the cat ladies that the border must be secured? 0.99

00:00:16.260 Also, Kamala Harris is fading fast in the polls.

00:00:18.760 Climate alarmists predicted historic and devastating hurricanes this season.

00:00:21.800 Instead, there have been basically no hurricanes at all.

00:00:24.980 And a film glorifying euthanasia earns the top prize of the Venice Film Festival

00:00:29.220 and an 18-minute standing ovation.

00:02:08.360 In early 2018, senators from both parties met with Donald Trump inside the White House.

00:02:14.580 They were there to discuss the Visa Lottery System, which is a program that allocates visas

00:02:18.900 to people from countries with historically low rates of immigration to the United States.

00:02:23.560 And this is one of many government programs that's existed for decades without anyone in

00:02:28.260 power asking why it exists, even though a Visa Lottery like this makes no sense whatsoever.

00:02:34.160 The only criterion we should have when deciding who gets to enter the United States is whether

00:02:38.340 admitting those people would make the United States a better country.

00:02:42.500 Whether or not their country is underrepresented in the United States should have no bearing

00:02:46.800 on whether a potential migrant is awarded a Visa.

00:02:50.880 As simple and obvious as this point may be, you rarely hear anyone say it.

00:02:55.580 Certainly, you don't very often hear presidents say it.

00:02:57.620 But in his meeting with the senators, Donald Trump pointed out this problem right away.

00:03:03.220 Trump specifically wanted to know why we were awarding visas to people from Haiti, one of

00:03:08.660 the poorest and most dysfunctional countries in the entire world.

00:03:11.340 And depending on who you ask, Trump used maybe a slightly more colorful language than that

00:03:16.180 when he asked the question.

00:03:17.140 But that was the question.

00:03:19.520 And you probably remember the outrage that followed.

00:03:21.980 There was an outrage cycle that lasted more than two weeks.

00:03:24.280 Haiti's government said that Trump's comments were abhorrent.

00:03:27.420 The United Nations Human Rights Office said that Donald Trump had damaged and disrupted

00:03:31.460 the lives of many people.

00:03:34.340 Conan O'Brien started filming his show in Haiti, during which he repeatedly blamed Haiti's collapse

00:03:38.900 on the United States.

00:03:40.940 Quote, the Haitians have been dealt the worst hand in the Western Hemisphere, he said, implying

00:03:44.480 that we owe them housing and health care because somehow we have done this to them.

00:03:49.320 But none of the outrage addressed Trump's fundamental question.

00:03:53.980 At no point did anyone in the press or the Democrat Party explain why we need to admit more

00:04:01.340 Haitians into the U.S. 1.00

00:04:03.860 Nobody addressed Trump's concern, which is that giving Haitians visas simply because they come

00:04:09.380 from Haiti and for no other reason would dramatically lower the quality of life for American citizens. 0.99

00:04:15.040 In other words, the question is, what's in it for us?

00:04:17.680 And this is a question that any president should be asking.

00:04:20.900 What's in it for?

00:04:21.740 I know how the Haitians benefit from coming to the U.S. 1.00

00:04:25.060 How do we benefit from having Haitians here? 1.00

00:04:29.080 And if the answer is we don't benefit from having Haitians here, then we shouldn't be accepting 1.00

00:04:33.900 that many of them.

00:04:35.960 It's that simple.

00:04:37.300 Because as a president, you are supposed to be looking out for the well-being of your people

00:04:41.100 first.

00:04:41.660 Well, as a result, two years after the manufactured outrage over Trump's comments, lives have indeed

00:04:49.020 been damaged and disrupted, as the United Nations put it.

00:04:52.180 But those lives are not in Haiti.

00:04:55.460 I mean, yeah, the lives in Haiti are a disaster. 1.00

00:04:59.720 But again, that's not our primary concern.

00:05:01.940 Our primary concern is America, not Haiti. 0.88

00:05:05.060 Haiti is up to Haiti. 0.72

00:05:06.480 Haitians have to fix Haiti. 1.00

00:05:08.300 It's not up to us to fix it.

00:05:09.840 And if the Haitians can't figure out how to fix their own country, well, I guess it's 1.00

00:05:14.820 just going to be a mess forever until you figure out how to fix your own damn country. 0.99

00:05:21.180 But now there are places in, you know, there are Haitians in places like Springfield, Ohio, 0.99

00:05:27.420 which were overrun with Haitian immigrants overnight.

00:05:30.320 And that's not hysteria.

00:05:33.560 It's clearly happening.

00:05:35.300 This is a report from NPR, maybe the most Democrat-aligned media outlet in existence.

00:05:39.420 But even NPR cannot spin the situation in Springfield.

00:05:42.200 Quote,

00:05:42.780 Around 2020, things in this town took an unexpected turn.

00:05:46.440 Thousands of Haitian migrants fleeing violence and poverty landed in Springfield.

00:05:50.700 Locals say that it felt like it happened overnight.

00:05:52.540 On Sunday afternoons, you could suddenly hear Creole mass wafting through the downtown

00:05:57.160 streets.

00:05:57.800 Haitian restaurants started popping up.

00:05:59.420 The town of around 60,000 has received some 15,000 to 20,000 migrants in the last four

00:06:05.420 years, many of them from Haiti.

00:06:09.220 So I'll say that again.

00:06:10.720 A town of 60,000 people now has 20,000 migrants and have received all of them in just the last 0.99

00:06:19.120 four years.

00:06:20.760 That's a third of their population being added.

00:06:25.120 This is a town that already had a poverty rate of more than twice the national average

00:06:28.740 before the Haitians started moving in.

00:06:31.680 This would be unsustainable even if Springfield were recruiting highly skilled, highly qualified

00:06:36.340 and skilled immigrants.

00:06:37.900 You can't just massively increase your population very quickly without breaking things.

00:06:42.800 And things are indeed breaking in Springfield.

00:06:45.340 Take a look at this data from the FBI's Crime Data Explorer.

00:06:48.660 The blue line tracks the number of crimes reported in Springfield, Ohio.

00:06:53.480 And you notice how it's pretty steady from 2012 to 2020.

00:06:57.960 Then all of a sudden, the number of crimes surged.

00:07:02.300 In fact, it more than doubles beginning in 2020 when this surge of migrants from Haiti arrives.

00:07:07.080 One of those crimes was committed last August by Hermanio Joseph, a Haitian migrant who drove 1.00

00:07:13.400 his minivan into a school bus, killing an 11-year-old child who was ejected from the bus.

00:07:18.300 The driver apparently had a Mexican driver's license, an Ohio ID card, but no Ohio's driver's

00:07:23.240 license.

00:07:24.580 Obviously, he should not have been in this country, much less driving on the road.

00:07:28.380 But he was there.

00:07:30.000 And for killing a child, he was only sentenced to about 10 years in prison.

00:07:33.700 These kinds of stories are now commonplace in Springfield.

00:07:37.840 Meanwhile, social services have been overwhelmed.

00:07:40.200 The Daily Mail reports that, quote, at the community health clinic, Haitian patients rose

00:07:43.980 from 115 to 1,500 between 2021 and 2023.

00:07:48.260 Overwhelming services, Rocking Horse Community Health Center Chief Medical Officer Yamini Tigla

00:07:53.980 said that language barriers meant a 15-minute consult took up to 45 minutes.

00:07:59.900 We lost productivity.

00:08:00.800 We had a huge burnout of staff, she said.

00:08:03.700 The clinic hired six Haitian translators, but its translation budget blew out from $43,000

00:08:10.880 in 2020 to $436,000, which Tigla said was unsustainable.

00:08:18.060 Now, even with all this spending, Haitians are still terrorizing locals in Springfield. 1.00

00:08:23.700 Here's one woman at a city council meeting explaining that the town's just no longer safe for her to

00:08:30.080 live in.

00:08:30.540 Watch.

00:08:30.740 Noelle, thank you.

00:08:34.700 I live at 426 Northwestern Avenue.

00:08:37.620 Ms. Skinner, who I'm not trying to put on the spot, is my neighbor. 1.00

00:08:40.560 Just talk to me, ma'am.

00:08:41.580 Thank you so much.

00:08:42.640 And I'm done with what I'm seeing.

00:08:46.160 It is so unsafe in my neighborhood anymore.

00:08:48.660 I have the homeless that were trying to camp out, and I have made concessions with them, 1.00

00:08:54.200 and I try to help them the best I can to keep them from trying to squat on my property.

00:09:00.380 But it is so unsafe.

00:09:02.180 I have men that cannot speak English in my front yard screaming at me, throwing mattresses in my front yard, 0.75

00:09:09.620 throwing trash in my front yard. 0.60

00:09:11.380 Look at me.

00:09:14.800 I weigh 95 pounds.

00:09:16.140 I couldn't defend myself if I had to.

00:09:18.400 My husband is elderly.

00:09:19.700 And last night, after living in this home for 45 years, he said, Noelle, guess what?

00:09:24.980 It's time to pack up and move.

00:09:26.940 He said, we can't do this anymore.

00:09:28.780 He said, it's killing both of us mentally.

00:09:30.520 I don't understand what you expect of us as citizens.

00:09:34.820 I mean, I understand they're here under temporary protected status, and you're protecting them.

00:09:40.360 And I understand that our city services are overwhelmed and understaffed.

00:09:45.540 But who's protecting us?

00:09:46.960 If we're protecting them, who's protecting me?

00:09:49.860 I want out of this town.

00:09:51.440 I am sorry.

00:09:53.040 Please give me a reason to stay.

00:09:56.040 Thank you.

00:09:57.220 Thank you.

00:09:57.680 So if you could watch a clip like that, and your takeaway is that, oh, that woman's a bigot, 1.00

00:10:04.540 that racist white bigot, if that's your takeaway, then you're a very stupid person 1.00

00:10:10.260 and a bad person and a bad American. 1.00

00:10:14.700 That's it. 0.98

00:10:15.460 I just have no respect for you as a human being.

00:10:17.660 If that is your reaction to that woman, who is it unreasonable?

00:10:24.920 She just wants her community to be safe.

00:10:27.680 And it is being actively destroyed.

00:10:30.780 They are bringing people in to destroy it by the busload every year.

00:10:36.960 And she's saying, can you not do this?

00:10:39.400 I live here with my family.

00:10:42.000 You're making it dangerous to live here. 0.88

00:10:45.120 Why should Haitians be my... 1.00

00:10:49.140 I live in Ohio.

00:10:51.600 Why should I have to deal with the fact that... 0.98

00:10:53.660 With Haitian criminals? 1.00

00:10:57.500 Why should that be my problem? 0.96

00:11:00.300 In Springfield, Ohio?

00:11:03.220 That's her question.

00:11:05.760 And you can...

00:11:06.160 So you can...

00:11:06.800 I mean, if you are at all a smart, empathetic person and a good American, you understand

00:11:10.800 her exasperation.

00:11:12.600 Springfield didn't vote for this.

00:11:13.820 It's one of the most pro-Trump areas in the entire country.

00:11:16.780 But no one can escape the consequences of mass migration.

00:11:19.960 That's the whole point of it.

00:11:21.620 The Biden-Harris administration looks at this and they see a success story.

00:11:26.820 There's no outrage among the left as communities like this are destroyed.

00:11:30.600 They don't care.

00:11:31.600 Even as American citizens, including children, are killed.

00:11:34.940 In fact, it's not just human beings who are being murdered as a result of this migrant 1.00

00:11:38.580 surge.

00:11:39.440 In Springfield, there are now reports on social media that Haitians are eating people's cats.

00:11:45.900 So residents at city council meetings are also complaining that that, as well as Haitians,

00:11:51.380 are eating ducks on the side of the road.

00:11:54.160 This is a thing that's apparently happening now in the United States of America.

00:11:58.420 Here, this is from just a week ago.

00:12:00.000 Watch.

00:12:00.240 I think it's like kind of odd that like a guy like me has to come out from doing what

00:12:05.320 I do on a daily basis to have fun because I see what's going on in these streets and

00:12:08.940 I see you guys just sitting up there in them comfy chairs and suits and like, and I'm

00:12:12.420 getting out here every day and I'm broadcasting this and you guys are just sitting up there

00:12:16.220 in suits or something.

00:12:16.860 Like, I really challenge you guys to get out here and do something. 0.98

00:12:20.260 These Haitians are running into trash cans. 1.00

00:12:22.940 They're running into buildings. 0.97

00:12:24.820 They're running into, they're flipping cars in the middle of the street.

00:12:29.080 Like, I don't know how, like, y'all can be comfortable with this.

00:12:33.480 Like, I don't know, like, who's getting paid from this.

00:12:36.300 I feel like, I honestly feel like someone's getting paid from it in the background.

00:12:40.460 They dropping, you got a bunch of people on a bus getting dropped off at a gas station

00:12:46.040 to come down here.

00:12:46.760 I know a single mom that FaceTimed me tonight, FaceTimed me this morning at the welfare office 0.99

00:12:51.680 that really need, like, that really need something.

00:12:54.540 And it's nothing but immigrants over there. 0.99

00:12:57.240 And I don't even want to, like, seem like I'm coming down on the immigrants because it's 1.00

00:13:00.880 the people that's bringing them down here.

00:13:02.300 Because wherever they're at, that's what they're used to, bro.

00:13:05.160 They're in the park grabbing up ducks by their neck and cutting their head off and walking

00:13:10.820 off with them and eating them.

00:13:12.500 So the man goes on to note that there are plenty of police in Springfield.

00:13:17.400 It's easy to get a traffic ticket, but apparently it's not easy to round up and deport the Haitians 1.00

00:13:21.320 who are eating animals and crashing their cars into children.

00:13:25.600 Not the government's priority.

00:13:27.320 He theorizes in that clip that maybe the government's being paid off by somebody.

00:13:31.120 That's all he can think of.

00:13:32.480 But that doesn't have to be the explanation.

00:13:35.960 I mean, the Biden administration has a clear political motivation to import as many third

00:13:39.240 world immigrants as possible because, you know, eventually they'll vote.

00:13:43.460 And some local politicians in Springfield, which was devastated economically after the

00:13:48.000 auto industry moved overseas, thought that more migrants would help the economy.

00:13:53.520 And now here we are.

00:13:55.040 Instead of helping the economy, the migrants are apparently eating animals in public, which 1.00

00:13:59.400 is not much of an economic help as far as I can tell.

00:14:02.500 So as unsettling as all this is, you have to wonder whether this will be the thing that

00:14:08.080 finally awakens people on the left to the problem of rampant immigration.

00:14:12.740 I mean, they don't seem to care much when immigrants kill human beings. 1.00

00:14:16.820 That doesn't bother them in the slightest.

00:14:19.180 Maybe they'll care about the ducks and chickens and cats that are meeting an untimely demise.

00:14:25.140 Presumably the vegans will be rising up any day now.

00:14:27.440 Now, one wonders what the childless cat ladies will say when their cats end up in a Haitian's 1.00

00:14:32.980 crock pot or whatever they use to cook cats.

00:14:36.000 I don't know.

00:14:37.060 After all, this isn't just happening in Springfield, Ohio.

00:14:39.060 It's happening everywhere that illegal immigrants are being imported.

00:14:43.000 That's why there's a similar crisis unfolding in Queens, New York, which is the borough that's

00:14:46.920 taking the brunt of the illegal migrant surge in the city.

00:14:50.580 70 of New York's 193 taxpayer funded migrant shelters are located in Queens and hundreds of

00:14:56.100 thousands of illegals have arrived in the city in the last two years.

00:14:58.840 As Councilman Robert Holden put it, we're getting dumped on here.

00:15:02.740 How long can we sustain this?

00:15:04.220 These shelters add nothing to the neighborhood.

00:15:06.220 They only bring crime.

00:15:07.680 Some of that crime involves eating animals, apparently.

00:15:10.100 The New York Post reports that, quote, animal sacrifices are surging in Queens with chickens,

00:15:14.640 pigs, and rats being tortured, mutilated, or killed in twisted religious rituals in Parkland

00:15:19.200 surrounding Jamaica Bay.

00:15:20.480 In a little over a month, at least nine wounded animals or carcasses have been discovered in

00:15:24.480 the federally managed Spring Creek Park in Howard Beach and the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in

00:15:30.180 Broad Channel, including five live pigs with partially severed ears.

00:15:34.880 Creatures recovered from the revolting scene also include a near-dead baby rat tied up in

00:15:38.980 a bag with chicken bones, a freshly decapitated chicken head, a live hen in distress, and a

00:15:45.000 dead dog with its neck snapped.

00:15:46.860 This is being linked not to Haitians in this case, but to Hindu devotees who worship the

00:15:54.280 goddess Kali.

00:15:56.020 Then there's this quote from Sloan Quealy, who runs Zion's Mission Animal Rescue.

00:16:01.100 Quote, it's continually getting worse.

00:16:02.880 The animal sacrifices are happening more repeatedly, more times a week.

00:16:06.060 The sacrificers know it's open season.

00:16:08.080 Yes, the sacrificers know that it's open season.

00:16:13.940 And of course, those sacrificers typically have something in common, which is that they

00:16:18.260 didn't come from the United States.

00:16:20.140 These episodes are yet more evidence of a simple truism, import the third world, become 1.00

00:16:26.880 the third world.

00:16:28.920 Culture matters.

00:16:30.400 When you allow a flood of third world people, you end up with an increasingly third world culture. 1.00

00:16:35.420 And anyone who's ever been to a third world country knows that that's not generally going

00:16:40.640 to be an improvement.

00:16:42.860 Okay, you get fight clubs on the street.

00:16:44.700 You get garbage all over the place and loud music playing around the clock.

00:16:48.360 Watch.

00:16:49.200 Long nights with loud music, kids playing outside, and garbage around the neighborhood is what

00:16:55.600 tenants at this building on 10th Street and 44 Drive in Long Island City have been dealing

00:17:01.780 with for the past few months.

00:17:03.920 They have a lot of loud music.

00:17:05.580 They have big speakers over there in the corner, particularly on the weekends.

00:17:09.480 Kiko has been living in this building for 32 years and has never seen anything like it.

00:17:15.940 It all started when the once 128-room Windham Hotel was turned into a New York City migrant 1.00

00:17:23.180 shelter.

00:17:23.780 He and other neighbors have seen kids riding up and down the sidewalk, jumping off porches,

00:17:30.840 and at times taking showers by the spigot and even taking water to cook meals right on

00:17:37.160 the street.

00:17:37.920 There's like two or three cars that they use to cook.

00:17:40.820 And then it appears that they may be selling the food to the people in the hotel.

00:17:45.580 So he's lived there for more than 30 years and he's never seen anything like it, but it's

00:17:50.340 happening now.

00:17:51.360 Some of this may be because of the visa lottery, which allows people like this into the country 0.98

00:17:54.800 illegally.

00:17:55.240 A lot of it is because of asylum fraud or temporary protected status and so on.

00:17:59.100 But the debate over whether these migrants are illegal or not isn't really the main issue

00:18:06.600 here.

00:18:07.560 That's because as hard as it may be for either party to admit, illegal immigration is not the

00:18:13.720 only problem.

00:18:15.240 Unchecked immigration of any kind, illegal or legal, creates the same problems in this country. 1.00

00:18:22.720 We do not erase the downside of importing many thousands of Haitians every year just by importing 1.00

00:18:27.680 them legally.

00:18:29.720 The immigrants that are reportedly conducting blood sacrifices on the street don't suddenly 0.94

00:18:34.400 become acceptable because we give them a visa.

00:18:38.440 The key point is that we do not want America to be like those places.

00:18:44.400 We don't want America to become like Haiti or any third world country, which is why, again, 1.00

00:18:50.900 it's a very simple equation.

00:18:54.320 It really is.

00:18:55.180 Before you bring any immigrant to this country, from any other country, you should ask yourself 1.00

00:19:02.180 not, how would it benefit this immigrant to be in America?

00:19:05.860 No, you ask yourself, how would it benefit America to bring in these immigrants? 1.00

00:19:10.740 And if the answer is, it will not benefit us, it will only hurt us, they should not be here.

00:19:16.820 Okay?

00:19:17.320 It doesn't mean that America has never benefited from immigration from any place in the world.

00:19:21.540 It doesn't mean that we should never allow anyone to immigrate here ever again.

00:19:25.100 No one's saying that.

00:19:26.340 But how has America been strengthened by allowing a flood of Haitian immigrants, legally or illegally? 1.00

00:19:31.700 In what way have we benefited?

00:19:33.800 In what way are we a stronger country today because of all the Haitians we've added in the 1.00

00:19:37.560 last 10 years?

00:19:39.780 Can anyone lay that out for me?

00:19:41.640 They can't.

00:19:42.060 So whether this country becomes like Haiti or any similar place illegally or legally is basically

00:19:48.820 irrelevant.

00:19:50.100 If places like Springfield and Queens are ever going to become, you know, livable again,

00:19:56.060 the people running the government have to admit that.

00:19:59.740 And they have no choice but to get these people out of the country as quickly as possible.

00:20:05.020 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:06.240 Did you know that there is nearly $1 trillion of infrastructure and pandemic funds yet to

00:20:17.060 be spent?

00:20:17.980 That's right.

00:20:18.420 There is a massive amount of money that the lame duck administration is pushing hard to

00:20:22.040 spend in their last few months.

00:20:23.420 If the president is able to push these funds out, we could see another prolonged inflation

00:20:27.920 surge just like during COVID.

00:20:30.340 And I'm sure you remember the terrible effects that high prices had on most Americans are still

00:20:34.500 having, in fact, but there's hope.

00:20:36.540 A surge in prices can be beaten.

00:20:38.980 A gold IRA from Birch Gold Group is the ultimate inflation hedge for your savings in uncertain

00:20:44.220 times.

00:20:51.320 And there's more good news.

00:20:57.720 month on qualifying purchases.

00:20:59.620 But you need to text Walsh to 989898 to claim your eligibility before September 30th.

00:21:08.620 Protect your financial future with gold.

00:21:10.280 Text Walsh to 989898 to claim your eligibility and make your purchase before September 30th.

00:21:17.400 Okay.

00:21:18.000 I just want to mention, first of all, today is the world premiere of my new film.

00:21:23.400 We have our premiere event anyway in Nashville today.

00:21:26.040 And the film comes out wide release on Friday the 13th.

00:21:31.760 Tickets are on sale to miracist.com.

00:21:34.260 So big, big moment here in the company today for the company, for myself, for everybody involved.

00:21:42.740 And I'll be sitting in a theater with about 400 people tonight watching myself in a movie

00:21:47.840 for an hour and 40 minutes.

00:21:50.080 And looking forward to the event.

00:21:53.620 Very grateful to be here, to be in this position.

00:21:57.460 Not looking forward to the actual experience of watching myself while others are also watching

00:22:02.220 me.

00:22:03.040 It takes me out of my comfort zone a bit, I'll admit.

00:22:05.240 But then again, I had to go out of my comfort zone a lot.

00:22:08.920 Extremely, radically outside of it in order to make this movie.

00:22:13.020 And the last movie also, by the way.

00:22:14.760 In fact, this is something my wife brings up to me all the time.

00:22:19.300 Because, you know, I think it's well known.

00:22:22.560 I tend to be more of an introverted person.

00:22:25.680 And so she'll say, like, hey, how is it that you can make movies where you're going into

00:22:30.780 rooms with dozens of people who hate your guts?

00:22:33.600 And you can sit there for two hours intentionally antagonizing them on camera.

00:22:38.080 And yet, you don't want to, like, go down to the church basement after mass and have a

00:22:43.660 donut with people who like you.

00:22:47.560 It's a good question.

00:22:48.880 It's a very good question.

00:22:50.380 And I'm insane, is the answer.

00:22:54.980 I plead insanity. 0.75

00:22:56.100 I'm just a crazy person, is the only answer I can come up with.

00:22:59.880 But anyway, very excited about this tonight and this week.

00:23:03.740 And if you have not pre-ordered your tickets yet, this is why we've been hammering this

00:23:07.760 for, I'm sure, until you're probably sick of hearing of it.

00:23:11.940 But really important to buy the tickets in pre-sale.

00:23:15.220 Lots of people have.

00:23:16.280 And, you know, we started with, I don't know, 200 or 300 theaters, I think, is the number

00:23:22.460 of screens we had when we first announced the film.

00:23:25.460 And it's expanded way beyond, exponentially, it's expanded.

00:23:29.940 Um, so, if you maybe went online, we first announced the film coming out, and you went

00:23:37.100 to MRacist.com, and you wanted to buy tickets, and you saw that, well, there were no theaters

00:23:41.140 showing it within 70 miles of you.

00:23:44.800 Well, first of all, stop being lazy.

00:23:46.960 Why can't you go 70 miles?

00:23:48.460 Okay.

00:23:49.080 But second, you should check back, because there's, uh, there might be screens closer to

00:23:53.040 you now, as more and more are added, and have been added over the last few weeks.

00:23:56.500 All right, DNYUZ reports, is Kamala Harris's surge beginning to ebb?

00:24:02.380 That's the question raised by this morning's New York Times-Siena College poll, which finds

00:24:07.000 Donald J. Trump narrowly ahead of her among likely voters nationwide, 48% to 47%.

00:24:12.060 To me, the result is a bit surprising.

00:24:14.680 It's the first lead for Mr. Trump in a major nonpartisan national survey in about a month.

00:24:19.660 As a result, it's worth being at least a little cautious about these findings, and there

00:24:22.620 isn't much confirmation from other polls.

00:24:24.020 That said, it wouldn't be hard to explain if Vice President Harris's support really has

00:24:28.080 faded a bit in recent weeks.

00:24:29.560 After all, she was benefiting from an ideal news environment, an uninterrupted month of

00:24:33.920 glowing coverage from President Biden's departure from the race in July to the Democratic Convention

00:24:38.720 in August.

00:24:39.780 It's possible she was riding a political sugar high, so it'd make sense if she came off those

00:24:44.500 highs in the two uneventful weeks since the convention.

00:24:47.560 So that's what the poll is showing.

00:24:52.700 And obviously, her support is starting to ebb.

00:24:56.200 That was always going to happen eventually, because the support was never based on anything.

00:25:03.000 You know, the media ginned up the hype machine without ever telling us what we're supposed

00:25:07.240 to be hyped about or why.

00:25:09.400 And I thought maybe they could keep it going until the election, but I guess I kind of overestimated

00:25:15.700 the media's propagandizing power, because when it comes down to it, you know, the hype has

00:25:22.800 to be based on something.

00:25:24.260 It has to be grounded in something.

00:25:26.360 There has to be something about this person that we're supposed to be excited about.

00:25:30.120 Now, you can exaggerate it.

00:25:32.220 You can play it up.

00:25:33.120 You can mythologize to some extent.

00:25:37.280 But if you have nothing to work with, and especially if you don't have charisma, I mean,

00:25:41.820 if you have charisma and natural kind of speaking talent, and you have someone who, like Obama,

00:25:49.360 can deliver these kind of soaring speeches that sound very flowery, he's not really saying

00:25:53.840 anything, but it sounds good.

00:25:56.280 If you have somebody like that, then yeah, you can build up hype around that person and

00:26:02.700 probably maintain it for many months, if not years.

00:26:07.980 With Obama, it took probably years for it to wear off, and for some people, it never did.

00:26:14.000 But you don't have that in Kamala, with Kamala.

00:26:16.880 There's just nothing there.

00:26:17.960 So in Kamala's case, I mean, it would be like taking maybe the 10th most attractive woman 0.98

00:26:28.240 working at your local DMV and trying to convince everyone that she's a supermodel and that all 1.00

00:26:35.160 men just fall madly in love with her when they lay eyes on her for one second. 0.96

00:26:40.000 Now, you could do, you could maybe do that temporarily with Photoshop and AI and all that

00:26:47.420 kind of stuff, but eventually, you have to produce the actual person, right?

00:26:52.560 The woman herself.

00:26:55.280 It's like a, it's a catfish.

00:26:56.760 You know, maybe that's a better comparison.

00:26:58.860 It's like someone who's doing some catfishing on a dating app, and they're putting a photo

00:27:03.100 out that isn't even, it's just ridiculously Photoshopped, or it's not even them.

00:27:07.380 And it's like, well, yeah, you can, you can get away with that.

00:27:10.200 But if you ever want to actually meet a person, right, then eventually you got to deal with

00:27:16.100 the fact that you are you, and that's going to come out.

00:27:19.900 So that's the case with Kamala.

00:27:21.940 The issue with Kamala is that she is herself. 0.99

00:27:25.340 The problem with Kamala is Kamala.

00:27:28.600 That's the, the, the one minor difficulty that she run, it runs into.

00:27:32.320 So in other words, Kamala is who we thought she was.

00:27:40.680 She is who we thought she was.

00:27:43.180 To paraphrase Dennis Green, may he rest in peace.

00:27:46.780 So what does all that mean?

00:27:48.020 It means that this election is going to be about Trump.

00:27:52.680 And, you know, Trump is all that really matters in the election.

00:27:55.620 It's what it's, the election is what we thought it was.

00:27:58.960 Like, it's going to be about Trump.

00:28:00.400 It, it was always going to be about Trump.

00:28:02.100 If Trump loses, I mean, if he actually loses, legitimately loses, he will lose because the

00:28:08.300 anti-Trump vote was mobilized, mobilized enough to defeat him.

00:28:13.800 And because enough of the people in the middle were just sort of, you know, had Trump fatigue

00:28:19.120 and were kind of sick of him and ready to move on.

00:28:21.560 Um, that's if he loses, if he wins, it'll be because the pro-Trump vote was mobilized and

00:28:30.000 enough of the people in the middle were kind of ready to give Trump another shot.

00:28:34.460 So if, if Trump, whatever happens in the election, it'll be because of Trump one way or another.

00:28:39.900 Um, if, if Kamala wins, it's not going to be because of a surge of pro-Kamala voters who are super psyched about her. 0.59

00:28:51.420 If she wins, if, and if she wins legitimately, another if, it'll be because of the anti-Trump vote, not the pro-Kamala vote.

00:29:00.880 The most consequential debate in our history is set as Trump and Harris face off tomorrow night.

00:29:06.240 We're going backstage with a live simulcast of the debate and reactions from most trusted voices in conservative media.

00:29:12.440 Join me, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, Jeremy Boring for full coverage and analysis.

00:29:17.440 Watch live on Daily Wire Plus.

00:29:19.720 All right, I wanted to mention this, that, you know, there was a lot of talk about this being an incoming, uh, historic hurricane season.

00:29:27.940 You know, because of climate change and all that jazz.

00:29:31.520 But then a funny thing happened during the historic hurricane season.

00:29:36.140 And that is nothing.

00:29:38.060 Nothing happened.

00:29:39.900 There were basically, like, there were no hurricanes.

00:29:42.600 So MSN has the report, quote, uh, as weeks went by with no hurricane activity, Phil Klotzbach could feel the pressure building.

00:29:52.020 He and the rest of the meteorology, meteorology world has predicted a potentially historic hurricane season.

00:29:57.820 And yet, during what would normally be the most active stretch of tropical storms, the Atlantic Ocean was eagerly quiet.

00:30:04.700 Even his running buddies, with no knowledge of meteorology, began to ask, where are all the hurricanes?

00:30:09.420 As the author of one of the most trusted and longest running hurricane season outlooks, he considered issuing an unprecedented mid-season update in late August, acknowledging the chances that this year's forecast could be a bust.

00:30:20.580 He held off in case a new system formed over Labor Day weekend, but that didn't happen.

00:30:26.720 Um, now you might be wondering, what will the climate alarmists do with this?

00:30:31.100 Will they backtrack a bit?

00:30:33.980 Will they say, hey, look at that, you know, uh, we, we thought that climate change would create this big hurricane season.

00:30:40.400 It didn't happen.

00:30:41.940 Um, maybe climate change isn't all it's cracked up to be.

00:30:46.980 No, of course not.

00:30:48.200 That's not going to happen.

00:30:49.120 Instead, uh, we get this.

00:30:50.300 Reading on, quote, there are questions about whether planetary warming could be so extreme that it supercharged the storms that managed to form, but has also allowed fewer to materialize.

00:31:03.440 The quiet Atlantic stands in contrast to a dynamic Pacific typhoon season and yet another record hot northern hemisphere summer that spread deadly temperatures, massive fires, and overwhelming floods around the globe.

00:31:15.560 So, yeah, just as expected, um, global warming was supposed to cause historic hurricanes, but then the hurricanes didn't happen.

00:31:28.660 Why didn't they happen?

00:31:29.700 Well, because of global warming.

00:31:31.540 If hurricanes happen, it's because of global warming.

00:31:34.140 If they don't, it's because of global warming.

00:31:37.400 If they happen a lot, it's because of global warming.

00:31:39.780 If they happen just a little bit, it's because of global warming.

00:31:42.180 if you walk down the street and trip over your shoelace and you know get a concussion

00:31:48.940 global warming there's nothing that can disprove it there's nothing that can contradict the theory

00:31:55.780 like all events right prove the theory which tells you there's a problem with the theory

00:32:03.340 and i know we go over this a lot and um and you know i'm not a scientist but i do understand this

00:32:10.600 basic scientific concept that theories that can never be proven wrong are bad theories

00:32:19.120 because a theory should make predictions and if the predictions don't come to pass it means that

00:32:24.900 there's something wrong with the theory or at least with the way you interpreted your theory

00:32:30.500 but if the theory makes a prediction and then the prediction is not reflected in reality

00:32:36.620 and then that still proves your theory somehow well it means you're not doing science

00:32:43.260 right it means you're doing doctrine you're doing ideology right that's not that's not science

00:32:49.420 um oh and i love this too just one more paragraph because this was very revealing

00:32:56.540 so listen to this even as meteorologists can detect factors contributing to the lull

00:33:02.200 they're struggling to understand why those factors have overwhelmed conditions that might

00:33:05.880 otherwise fuel intense storm after storm many who warn the public to prepare for a dangerous summer

00:33:11.160 and fall are now caught in the awkward position of almost rooting for storms lest they end up eating

00:33:17.360 crow and losing the public's confidence when their predictions fall flat come november

00:33:21.580 well would you listen to that they're rooting for the storms talk about saying the quiet part out loud

00:33:30.020 they are rooting for deadly storms to devastate your community

00:33:34.400 they're they're rooting for your house to wash away with you inside it 0.56

00:33:39.560 they want they're not predicting storms

00:33:43.900 or projecting them they're wishing they're wishing for the storms

00:33:49.640 so how many times do we have to see proof here that climate alarmists are just anti-human

00:33:56.220 they are fundamentally anti-human which i say all the time and this is just more evidence of that

00:34:01.640 here's a story from the christian post a federal judge has ruled that an ohio school district may

00:34:08.000 have violated a teacher's first amendment rights by forcing her to resign for refusing to use trans

00:34:12.840 identified students preferred names and pronouns due to religious convictions judge pamela barker of

00:34:18.180 the northern district of ohio issued an order earlier this month denying and granting in part

00:34:22.560 competing motions for summary judgment filed by jackson local school district in jackson township

00:34:27.600 to dismiss the lawsuit filed by former jackson middle school english teacher vivian garrity

00:34:32.340 the litigation is ongoing as several issues remain unresolved

00:34:36.900 barker a trump appointee wrote specifically the court concludes that garrity's compelled speech was not

00:34:42.460 pursuant to her ordinary job duties the district's name and pronoun practice was not neutral and generally applied

00:34:49.020 but it withholds deciding whether the pickering balancing test and strict scrutiny

00:34:54.180 weigh in plaintiff's favor or defendants favor until a jury makes factual determinations regarding the alleged

00:34:59.100 interests at stake

00:35:00.180 um then we have a clip here from fox with a little more detail about this case listen

00:35:05.540 i told them that i would not because of my religious beliefs and within two hours i was

00:35:11.260 forced to pack up my belongings and escorted out of the school vivian garrity is an ohio teacher who claims in a lawsuit 0.99

00:35:18.280 she was forced to resign when she would not accommodate two students who asked to be called

00:35:23.440 by different names and pronouns the school board voted to accept her resignation in september we have

00:35:30.700 blurred her appearance due to concerns for her safety i am a professing christian i go to church four times a week

00:35:38.280 um it is the largest part of my identity and i do believe that god only created two sexes

00:35:45.400 the alliance defending freedom filed the lawsuit on garrity's behalf against the jackson memorial

00:35:50.260 middle school principal the board of education and two district employees seeking reinstatement to

00:35:56.660 her teaching job the case here raises a critical issue and that's whether or not public schools can 1.00

00:36:02.020 order teachers to set their religious beliefs aside as a condition of public service

00:36:07.820 so um she's uh claiming this is compelled speech and of course it's compelled speech this is the very

00:36:16.640 definition of compelled speech it's as close as you can get to requiring that a teacher vocally

00:36:23.840 disavow her own faith in order to do her job keep her job in fact it isn't close to that it is that you are

00:36:33.100 requiring that she affirmatively declare something that she doesn't think is true and which contradicts

00:36:39.320 her deeply held religious views so obviously unconstitutional obviously compelled speech

00:36:46.100 um obviously a first amendment violation if this is not a first amendment violation then nothing is

00:36:52.140 nothing is now on the other hand i will admit that um

00:37:00.000 i'm always very hesitant to cast this issue as a religious liberty issue i understand why adf is

00:37:08.880 attacking it from that angle and i mean it it's it's true it is definitely a religious liberty issue

00:37:14.760 no question about it but my only hesitation is that it makes it sound like christians on faith alone

00:37:23.500 are just trusting that gender ideology is false it sounds like we have to rely on our faith on our 0.96

00:37:31.360 doctrine to tell us that men can't get pregnant um that women don't have penises but the truth is that 0.94

00:37:40.380 i would hold exactly the same view on this topic no matter my religion even if i was an atheist 0.94

00:37:47.380 okay there are many things about my worldview that if i was an atheist would radically change

00:37:54.400 of course but this wouldn't i mean my my my position on gender ideology would be exactly the same

00:38:01.600 but because this is just about observable reality that we can see around us it's not it's got really

00:38:09.560 nothing to do with with religion at least not um at least not on the surface because the the leap of

00:38:17.860 faith is entirely on the other side gender ideology is essentially a religious doctrine that teachers are 0.99

00:38:25.980 being forced to affirm and to promote and pledge allegiance to it is a creed that they're being made to

00:38:32.720 recite so the compelled speech problem would still be a problem a constitutional problem even if this

00:38:39.380 teacher was not christian so you know i'm not embarrassed about saying that something is a matter of

00:38:47.020 faith if it is um christ's saving resurrection and redemption of mankind is is a matter of faith

00:38:56.540 right i think that there's a fair amount of historical evidence to support it but i fully admit that i believe

00:39:04.860 it through faith um not solely because i did some sort of historical investigation and then decided

00:39:12.420 uh at that point to believe it it is a matter of faith i have no shame in that we shouldn't be ashamed

00:39:18.120 of that there's nothing shameful about faith uh quite the contrary um which is why if a school punished a

00:39:27.540 teacher for believing in the resurrection then we would say that it is fully and totally a matter of

00:39:34.620 religious liberty but human biology is it's it's like anything else that's directly apparent to us

00:39:44.400 every single day it's like the existence of the sun in the sky

00:39:49.280 so if a teacher was being made to pretend that the sun doesn't exist now it would be an attack on her 1.00

00:39:58.740 faith yes because god created the sun uh the sun is part of creation it's in the bible so if you're being

00:40:08.100 made to deny the existence of the sun being s-u-n then you would be contradicting your own faith but

00:40:16.440 you know if some kind of crazy policy like that was pat was was instated in a school somewhere

00:40:24.460 where we're going to pretend the sun doesn't exist we probably wouldn't say that it's first and

00:40:31.640 foremost an attack on religious liberty instead we would argue that it's just it's plainly insane

00:40:38.660 it denies observable reality regardless of your religion it's like you're you are wanting us to 0.98

00:40:46.340 deny something that we can all see go outside you can see it so and just to use that example again

00:40:54.800 i think that in such a scenario if somebody were to say well that's a it's again it's against my

00:41:00.640 religion to say that the sun doesn't exist again yeah i mean in a sense that's true but you are

00:41:07.080 unnecessarily making it sound like you believe in the existence of the sun based on faith there's no

00:41:13.340 reason you you you don't like they are the ones they are the weird anti-sun cult that has decided

00:41:19.020 that there's no sun um so they they for them they are the ones insisting on a religious doctrine now

00:41:27.300 on the other hand uh i also hesitate to say that gender ideology is like a religious doctrine because 0.94

00:41:35.760 then it's it's as if you're using religious as a pejorative when there's nothing wrong with religion

00:41:41.740 per se i'll be the first defender of religion all day long um but i don't mean religion religion

00:41:51.540 itself there's nothing pejorative about religion itself but all religions are not made the same 0.90

00:41:55.340 right and there are religions that are just first of all false and destructive 1.00

00:42:03.560 and and gender ideology is one of them but it is a religious doctrine it just happens to be a false

00:42:12.240 and like i said destructive and um completely irrational one unlike christianity all right let's

00:42:21.400 talk about meat you know that thing the left is trying to guilt you out of eating your voice isn't

00:43:50.820 friday get ready to gasp laugh and cringe as my new movie am i racist hits theaters nationwide the

00:43:56.640 movie trailer and clips have already made liberals lose their minds the bad news for our friends on

00:44:00.840 the left is uh well you ain't seen nothing yet am i racist has been selling out theaters across the

00:44:05.900 country for weeks on friday you'll finally get to see what all the buzz is about bring your family

00:44:15.200 time you checked my racist.com look again hundreds of screens have been added in the last 48 hours

00:44:19.440 head to my racist.com now for tickets and show times don't miss my racist in theaters nationwide

00:44:25.260 this friday now let's get to our daily cancellation

00:44:28.260 you know it's not every day that a standing ovation lasts for more than 15 minutes even the

00:44:38.840 most brutal dictators throughout history have had difficulty attracting that kind of sustained applause

00:44:43.240 when stalin spoke at the communist party conference in 1937 his audience clapped for something like 11

00:44:48.800 minutes before someone finally sat down that was considered pretty extreme at the time and that was

00:44:53.280 at a time when you'd get 10 years in the gulag for being the first to stop applauding but in the world of

00:44:59.460 film festivals where incidentally you can also find a lot of communists lengthy standing ovations are

00:45:05.000 apparently pretty common when a film really wows the crowd the clapping just goes on and on and nobody wants

00:45:11.880 to sit down pans a labyrinth got a 22 minute standing ovation back in 2006 at cans and last week at the

00:45:18.920 venice film festival a film called the room next door starring tilda swinton and julianne moore

00:45:24.180 received a standing ovation that lasted 18 minutes it's apparently the longest standing ovation in any

00:45:29.620 context in recent memory so um what is this film about exactly if you watch the teaser trailer you

00:45:36.640 won't come away with any idea whatsoever here's just part of it

00:45:39.840 so

00:45:41.840 so

00:45:45.840 so

00:45:47.840 so

00:45:49.840 so

00:45:55.840 so

00:45:57.840 so

00:45:59.840 so

00:46:03.840 so

00:46:05.840 you don't really know what this is about it's like a classic art house 0.96

00:46:29.300 trailer you know you know it's some artsy dumb movie and you could tell that the old woman is 1.00

00:46:35.600 probably dying but that's about it and if you look at the comments you won't get any

00:46:39.920 clarity instead you'll see posts like this this is one of the top comments on this trailer

00:46:44.240 on youtube quote the color game is on point the green and red that complement each other on julianne

00:46:49.920 and the yellow on tilda which then tries to copy julianne's style and the interior decor 0.98

00:46:54.880 matching them both wow it's a must watch

00:46:57.920 now as best i can tell that's not ironic comment there's plenty of others like it you can tell you've

00:47:04.480 entered the world of art house cinema when a film is a must watch because the color game is on point

00:47:10.880 the green and red just complement each other so perfectly how could you not i mean how could you not

00:47:16.240 rush out to the theaters to see the interior decor and color but it gets worse because even if you

00:47:23.360 watch interviews with the actresses who star in this film you still will not come away with any idea

00:47:28.960 what's going on watch about the topic of the film julianne it's confronting death

00:47:34.640 and being at peace with it um how did you two relate to the topic and the mind of pedro in

00:47:41.120 in relationship to to this to this theme well in terms of confronting death or or the reality of it

00:47:48.080 i think that i mean for ingrid in particular she's not confronting anything at the beginning of the film

00:47:53.600 she's someone who's very much distanced from the idea of death and is exploring it like in her writing

00:47:58.560 and with martha she's in a position where she's being asked to to witness someone's process towards

00:48:06.400 death but on the other hand it's about being alive right she's witnessing she's being with

00:48:10.400 her while she's alive she's enjoying her life with her she's sharing it they're building relationship

00:48:16.080 so it's like you're you're dead when you're dead you're dead but basically we are you know we need

00:48:21.440 to be alive when we are alive wow when you're dead you're dead but basically we need to be alive

00:48:28.560 when we're alive when we're alive and when you're walking you need to be walking when you're sitting

00:48:35.920 sitting standing standing i mean this is the kind of profound insight you can get on the film festival

00:48:44.080 circuit again these people don't seem incapable of actually talking about the film at all but if you

00:48:49.600 do enough digging you'll eventually find out what this movie is about and it is a film glorifying

00:48:56.320 euthanasia here's how the bbc describes it quote pro euthanasia film the room next door has won the

00:49:01.680 venice film festival's best film award accepting the awards 74 year old spanish director told the

00:49:06.640 audience i believe that saying goodbye to this world cleanly with dignity is a fundamental right

00:49:11.440 of every human being the film sees swinton play a war correspondent suffering from terminal cancer she

00:49:16.960 asked her old friend played by moore to be at her side as she takes her own life the director said that

00:49:22.160 he made the film to communicate his belief that euthanasia should be available around the world

00:49:26.400 so the film is all about saying goodbye to this world cleanly and with dignity by which he means

00:49:32.000 euthanasia so how much dignity is there in euthanasia which its supporters have taken to calling medical

00:49:39.680 assistance in dying or made well she journal just reported on the state of euthanasia in canada

00:49:44.640 where euthanasia is now the fifth leading cause of death more than 13 000 people died by euthanasia in

00:49:50.160 2022 compared to just 1018 as recently as 2016 a researcher named alexander reichen is uh at the

00:49:57.360 ethics and policy center did a deep dive into these numbers he found that quote in 2022 more than 81

00:50:02.160 percent of petitions resulted in death including for vision hearing loss and diabetes he documents

00:50:08.080 that the percentage of denied written requests has been falling for years from eight percent in 2019

00:50:12.960 to 3.5 percent in 2022 even as the number of applications has increased

00:50:17.040 so what this means is that in canada there are basically no guardrails on euthanasia anymore

00:50:22.960 the overwhelming majority of people who want to die even when they don't have terminal illnesses

00:50:28.640 or even life-threatening illnesses the majority of them are being killed and in some cases people who

00:50:34.640 don't want to die are reportedly being pressured into euthanasia roger foley is just one prominent

00:50:40.400 example of that he suffers from a degenerative neurological condition as well as a depression

00:50:44.160 and at one point when foley became suicidal he was placed in a mental health ward quoting from

00:50:49.440 the journal after he shared those suicidal thoughts with staff he says they began to float the idea of

00:50:54.000 euthanasia that alarmed him so he began to record conversations secretly he later shared them with

00:50:59.680 canadian journalists in one a hospital ethicist threatens mr foley with denial of insurance coverage

00:51:05.200 and says it would cost him north of 1500 a day to stay in the hospital mr foley protested the

00:51:10.480 ethicist retorted roger this is not my show my piece of this was to talk to you about if you

00:51:14.720 had interest in assisted dying i mean that's amazing in all the worst ways so they're not

00:51:24.160 interested in treating his depression they didn't care they don't care about that they didn't care

00:51:28.800 that even though roger foley was suicidal he still wanted to find some way to live he wanted to live

00:51:33.840 instead they suggested that he kill himself to save the government some money

00:51:37.200 which is presumably why they threatened to terminate his health coverage which in canada

00:51:42.000 is state-run if he didn't comply this is supposedly the dignified death that you can expect with made

00:51:50.480 if you were to take advantage of that program of course when euthanasia advocates

00:51:56.480 talk as this director did about a dignified death they really just mean something that is sterile and

00:52:04.160 medicalized you know suicide has dignity as long as it doesn't look like suicide they claim as long

00:52:11.760 as a doctor is performing some kind of procedure and following guidelines even if those guidelines

00:52:17.040 are as permissive as they could possibly be then supposedly it's not really suicide it's made

00:52:23.280 ironically though the industry seems to be coming around full circle because now they're dispensing with

00:52:27.920 the need for doctors or the facade of medical procedures entirely the latest innovation in this field is

00:52:33.280 non-medical assisted suicide which is just suicide the national review reports that quote certain

00:52:39.520 strains of the euthanasia advocacy movement believe that doctors don't need to be involved when someone

00:52:44.880 wants to die for example the fanatics at the uh final exit network have taught people how to kill

00:52:50.720 themselves with a couple convicted of assisting uh via helium more infamously infamously dr philip

00:52:56.720 nitschke of australia who has traveled the world teaching suicide courses once told nro's katherine

00:53:02.800 gene lopez that he thought troubled teens should have access to suicide pills which he opined should

00:53:08.080 be sold in supermarkets he even conjured a suicide pod by which people can make themselves dead using

00:53:14.480 nitrogen the article goes on to discuss other non-medical models for assisted suicide including

00:53:20.640 one that's uh just been adopted in germany quote germany's highest court declared a fundamental right

00:53:25.600 to commit suicide to be assisted in suicide by any willing accomplice and to assist in suicide

00:53:30.480 without regard to why somebody wants to die meaning no health reasons are required

00:53:36.000 in its decision the court wrote quote the right to take one's own life also encompasses the freedom

00:53:40.640 to seek and if offered utilize assisted assistance provided by third parties for this purpose therefore

00:53:46.080 the constitutional guarantee of the right to suicide corresponds to equally far-reaching

00:53:50.480 constitutional protection extended to the acts carried out by persons rendering suicide assistance

00:53:55.280 so this is the way that it usually goes on the left they come up with all kinds of euphemistic ways

00:54:03.200 to obscure something awful and evil but eventually the euphemisms wear off and you're left with the thing

00:54:11.680 itself in all its demonic glory it's not made it's not euthanasia it's just suicide that's why

00:54:20.720 canadians are approving more than 80 of these petitions for service right now even for again non-terminal

00:54:26.960 illnesses suicide is what they're really applauding at that film festival for 18 minutes

00:54:33.200 it's what courts are promoting all over the western world they no longer feel any shame about encouraging

00:54:38.480 people to die they just want to encourage as many people to die as possible even people who they could have saved

00:54:45.440 and that is why the suicide industry which has all but given up on the and and dying branding of made

00:54:53.200 and euthanasia is today canceled that'll do it for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening
