The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1458 - As Americans Drown, Kamala Chats On A Brain-Dead Sex Podcast

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, while Americans drowned in their own homes from Hurricane Helene,

00:00:04.140 the vice president was busy chatting about tampons and abortion on a sex podcast. If

00:00:08.840 her priorities weren't clear to you already, well, they should be now. Also, Donald Trump

00:00:12.540 returns to the scene of his first assassination attempt. The Department of Agriculture spends

00:00:16.780 thousands of dollars on a program designed to make nature more inclusive to LGBT people,

00:00:21.500 whatever that means. And today during the daily cancellation, I'll do something I've never done

00:00:24.920 before. I'm going to, in a totally sincere and heartfelt way, defend Kamala Harris. We'll talk

00:00:29.860 about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:09.380 Six days ago, as cadaver dogs were discovering dozens of dead bodies in destroyed communities across

00:02:15.220 the Southeast in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, and as hundreds of thousands of people went without

00:02:19.820 essentials like food and water and power, Kamala Harris wasn't overseeing any of those disaster 1.00

00:02:26.500 relief efforts. She wasn't holding round-the-clock meetings at FEMA headquarters or the White House

00:02:30.920 Situation Room. Instead, as American citizens drowned in their own homes, Kamala Harris was busy 1.00

00:02:35.840 taping an episode of the popular sex and relationship podcast, Call Her Daddy, which is hosted by a 30-year-old

00:02:42.440 woman named Alex Cooper. Now, we've said a lot about the administration's indifference and

00:02:47.540 callousness to the communities devastated by this storm. Every day, there's a glaring new sign of

00:02:52.820 just how little they care about American citizens who are dying. Just this weekend, for example,

00:02:56.960 the DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who oversees FEMA, was spotted shopping in Georgetown for

00:03:02.940 high-end menswear. This was right after he announced that FEMA's out of money, which is something that he

00:03:08.580 assured us, wouldn't happen as recently as this summer. Meanwhile, on Saturday, whoever is running

00:03:13.880 Kamala Harris's social media accounts, announced that we're going to spend $150 million on providing

00:03:19.420 food and shelter and humanitarian assistance, but it's not going to Americans in states like

00:03:26.100 North Carolina or Tennessee. Instead, the money is going to Lebanon, a country full of people who 1.00

00:03:30.580 hate us. So it's safe to say that when it comes to displaying incredible levels of callousness

00:03:36.060 and incompetence and worse during a crisis, this administration has been working overtime. But

00:03:42.380 with this interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, Kamala has demonstrated that however low the bar 1.00

00:03:48.480 is with this administration, it can always get lower. And first of all, before I get into the

00:03:54.120 specifics of this interview and what an unmitigated disaster it was in so many ways, we should

00:04:00.660 acknowledge we could see the political reasoning behind it, even if I don't think that it will have the

00:04:05.700 effect ultimately the campaign intended. But this is part of a strategic shift in the Kamala campaign,

00:04:11.500 as David Axelrod pointed out the other day. This week, probably because her internal poll numbers

00:04:16.040 look really bad, worse than we even realize, Kamala's going to be appearing on a bunch of friendly shows 1.00

00:04:21.880 with left-wing hosts, entertainment-style shows. Stephen Colbert, Howard Stern are two of them.

00:04:28.340 But very few personalities have the reach of Alex Cooper. It's an extremely popular podcast with

00:04:33.880 young women. We talked about it during the Daily Cancellation a few weeks ago. And that's why Cooper 0.81

00:04:39.620 just signed a contract worth $125 million. But that fact by itself says something very troubling

00:04:49.260 about young women in this country. And I think that's also a conversation that we should have,

00:04:54.380 because we're always talking about men and how troubled we are by young men and what's happening

00:04:58.720 with young men. But for all the grief that we give men about the kinds of role models they choose,

00:05:05.760 manosphere, influencers, etc., all the porn they watch, and all of that, there should be just as

00:05:13.860 much scrutiny on the young women who have made bimbos like Alex Cooper into huge stars. 1.00

00:05:19.800 And that's what Alex Cooper is. She's a degenerate fourth-wave feminist who hid her engagement with 1.00

00:05:25.940 her now husband from her own audience so that she could continue selling them on a lifestyle of 0.97

00:05:30.320 self-destructive, empty, sex-crazed nihilism, which naturally entails raising their all-important

00:05:36.240 quote-unquote body count. This is a podcast that teaches women to wield sex like a weapon and to 0.98

00:05:43.180 sacrifice their dignity in the process. And in that sense, at least, Kamala actually makes

00:05:48.700 perfect sense as a guest. There's a very strong argument to be made that her body count back in 0.84

00:05:54.720 California is the reason she's now the Democrats' nominee for president. So she's the perfect fit for 1.00

00:06:00.980 a podcast that just two episodes ago, before the sitting vice president appeared, did an hour-long

00:06:09.000 episode on the topics of, quote, hall passes and frat daddies. So here's a couple of excerpts from

00:06:16.500 that episode, or at least the parts of it we can air, which we can't air most of it. But here's just

00:06:22.000 a little bit of that. My mom is like a gift, sent me the Jersey Pottery Barn teen sheets, and I was

00:06:28.880 in flames when I woke up. I thought I had the flu. I remember I got these dark gray ones, and the first

00:06:36.480 time a guy kicked my sheets, and I only had, again, one pair. Yeah, one pair. So I was just looking at

00:06:40.800 that, like, damn, I'm... And I just left it there. You took, like, a credit card later on after the 0.97

00:06:45.300 climate dried, and you were, like, trying to scrape it off. You were like, we'll just get that off at

00:06:48.940 the end. Something that you talk about in your stand-up special that had me cackling. Well, two

00:06:54.000 things. We have to talk about two things. One is because... Love them and hate them. Sweetie.

00:06:59.100 Sweetie. Sweetie. The way that you described heading downtown to the... Yeah. And seeing

00:07:08.900 the... And approaching it. There is a goofy... It is. Yeah. But it works if you, like, swirl your

00:07:17.760 tongue in there a little. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, it's a little... If you don't get in that...

00:07:21.100 They're not getting in yours. And we all know this. Give a little surprise a time. But I never

00:07:25.660 try and go for the other... So did you catch that? I mean, we had to bleep, like, half of it. So,

00:07:32.960 I mean, I think it's enough for you to basically get the idea. And this, again, is two episodes ago.

00:07:40.160 Right before the vice president of the United States is sitting down for a conversation.

00:07:46.380 And what you just heard there is actually pretty tame by the standards of this podcast.

00:07:50.520 They have another episode called Welcome to Slut Camp. And, I mean, you can imagine what 1.00

00:07:55.580 Slut Camp entails. I can't play any of that. But really, there's no need to. 1.00

00:08:01.560 And to be clear about the context here, this is the second most popular podcast in the world

00:08:06.140 after Joe Rogan. It's by far the top podcast among young women. But they're not talking about 0.98

00:08:13.960 interesting or intellectual topics like Joe Rogan does. Okay? You're probably not going to go on...

00:08:19.620 You're not going to tune into the Alex Cooper Call Her Daddy show to hear from, I don't know,

00:08:25.660 an Amazon explorer or someone debating the moon landing, like you will with Joe Rogan,

00:08:32.300 which are at least interesting topics. Instead, you get this inane, just absurdly vulgar, 0.76

00:08:41.400 lobotomized nonsense. And it's a show aimed at turning young women into very stupid and depraved 1.00

00:08:49.260 hedonists. An emphasis on very stupid, which is why every second you spend listening to this filth 1.00

00:08:56.380 causes your IQ to depreciate exponentially. Just preparing for this show, as I watched some of 1.00

00:09:03.580 these clips, including the ones we're about to play with Kamala in them, I could feel my brain cells

00:09:09.020 melting away, like candle wax. Which is why, not to spend too long on this point, but

00:09:19.080 this is a good thing for any young men out there. If you're in the dating world

00:09:25.340 and you happen to find yourself dating a young woman who is a professed fan of this podcast,

00:09:32.660 just turn and walk away. Don't even bother. Just, you know, you could break up over text message.

00:09:39.340 This is not a woman who's even worth talking to, honestly. Any woman who enjoys sitting and 1.00

00:09:46.880 listening to this podcast is not high enough quality if you're a young man. I mean, that's really how bad

00:09:53.660 it is. And we have, again, we have no problem talking this way about men who enjoy media of a

00:10:03.920 similar type, but on the other end of the spectrum. We have no problem saying that about them.

00:10:09.200 So it should be equal for the other side of the equation. And that brings up the question of why

00:10:16.340 any presidential candidate, even one as dumb and immoral as Kamala, would want to appear on this 1.00

00:10:21.120 podcast. I mean, normally when you're running a presidential campaign, you give interviews to 1.00

00:10:25.760 a wide array of outlets. You don't limit yourself to vapid influencers who make a living talking to

00:10:31.220 celebrities about oral sex. So why is Kamala doing that exactly? As it happens, Alex Cooper asked 0.99

00:10:39.320 Kamala Harris that very question, and Cooper got this word salad in response. Listen.

00:10:44.560 I'm curious, like you don't do too many long form interviews. What made you want to do Call Her Daddy

00:10:52.240 today? Well, I think you and your listeners have really got this thing right, which is one of the

00:11:00.680 best ways to communicate with people is to be real, you know, and to talk about the things that people

00:11:08.060 really care about. What I love about what you do is that your voice in your show is really about your

00:11:15.660 listeners. And I think especially now, this is a moment in the country and in life where people

00:11:21.740 really want to know they're seen and heard and that they're part of a community, that they're not out

00:11:27.600 there alone. And so I'm really glad to be with you. Thank you. Thank you for taking the time.

00:11:33.720 Right. Hmm. You've got this thing, right? Says the Democrats nominee for president of the United

00:11:40.380 States. She says this podcast is real because they talk about things people care about, like

00:11:46.660 all passes and frat daddies. Still not sure what a frat daddy is, by the way, and I don't really care

00:11:52.000 to know. In other words, according to Kamala, Americans don't care about inflation or drowning in

00:11:57.980 their own homes after a hurricane or the possibility of World War III breaking out of the Middle East. 0.89

00:12:02.160 They care about listening to, you know, to bimbos talk about sex. And to that end, most of the 1.00

00:12:09.880 conversation on this podcast involving two childless women was about abortion, of course. Kamala Harris

00:12:14.880 repeated the familiar lie that Georgia's heartbeat law somehow killed a woman when in fact the abortion 0.99

00:12:19.680 pill killed that woman. Kamala also lied about Tim Walz's support for allowing children to die after

00:12:24.960 they survive abortions, even though it's well documented that children are in fact being left to die

00:12:28.520 in hospitals in Minnesota. And listening to all of this, it's clear that the campaign sees abortion,

00:12:35.040 of course, as the single most important issue in this election. And it's not hard to see why they

00:12:39.660 think that. Abortion destroys families, which are the greatest obstacle to increased government power.

00:12:45.340 People with families are loyal to their families, not to imbeciles in the federal government like 1.00

00:12:50.140 Kamala. The other obvious benefit of talking about abortion in the context of this podcast 0.99

00:12:54.120 is that it's a it's a safe topic for Kamala. Kamala doesn't really have to think on her feet very much. 1.00

00:12:59.960 She can use the canned talking points that she's memorized and she knows that her audience will be

00:13:04.900 receptive to them. So here's just one of those moments where Kamala Harris called back to a line

00:13:10.320 that she used during the Kavanaugh confirmation hearings. And here it is again. Listen, I want to pose

00:13:16.240 this question more to you and the daddy gang. But one of the biggest conversations in this year's

00:13:21.680 election revolves around a woman's body. Yep. I want to take a moment. And can we try to think of 0.98

00:13:30.220 any law that gives the government the power to make a decision? I know what you're gonna ask about a

00:13:39.800 man's body. No. No. Is there any law? No. No. No. It's no. Look, we are a work in progress. But

00:13:55.580 here's the one of the many things I so love about our country. Part of the strength of our country and

00:14:03.920 our evolution as a country has been through the fight for the expansion of rights. Not the restriction

00:14:12.800 of rights, but the expansion of rights. And we still have work to do. But I say that that work is born out

00:14:22.980 of love of country. And it's hard work, but it's good work. And it's important work. And that's what's

00:14:30.260 before each of us. And I think that, you know, around election time, but every day, back to the

00:14:35.960 conversation that we've been having about power. The beauty of a democracy is that we each as

00:14:43.300 individuals have the power to weigh in on this. Yeah, we want to expand rights. We want to expand

00:14:49.940 rights by entirely removing all human rights from a whole entire subset of the human species,

00:14:55.820 which are unborn children. That's how we expand rights. But what we heard at the beginning there

00:15:02.540 is this very familiar line that there are no laws that apply to male bodies, apparently.

00:15:08.500 This is a line that the Kamala campaign is obviously very fond of, which is concerning because there are

00:15:12.680 about a dozen reasons why it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. First of all, we do have laws

00:15:19.560 that apply exclusively to male bodies. The biggest one is the Selective Service Act,

00:15:23.780 which requires the overwhelming majority of men to sign up for the draft. The law literally refers

00:15:28.720 to male persons, not women. It says male persons in the law. And that's not a small thing since it's 0.73

00:15:36.160 led to the deaths of a lot of men. In Vietnam alone, something like 11,000 men were drafted into

00:15:44.900 service. And then on top of that, we have divorce laws, which are extraordinarily biased towards women 1.00

00:15:50.500 and against men in various ways. So just as a basic factual matter, the talking point is just wrong.

00:15:55.720 And there's an even more fundamental point to make, which is that all laws, by definition,

00:16:00.840 control the bodies of all human beings who are subject to them.

00:16:05.280 Okay? I mean, this might be too philosophical of a point for these two ladies to grasp. But

00:16:14.100 every law, any law that exists, controls the bodies of everybody who is under that law.

00:16:23.340 So a law against stealing, for example, is a law that controls your body, controls my body.

00:16:33.100 Because of that law, I'm not allowed to use my arms to draw a gun inside of a bank. I can't use my

00:16:41.040 mouth to scream, give me all your money. I can't use my legs to run away with a bag of cash.

00:16:46.900 That's a law that controls my body. It tells me something I'm not allowed to do with my body. In fact,

00:16:52.440 literally every law that exists in this country tells me what I am not, what I am and am not allowed

00:17:00.100 to do with my body. That's every law. So using the terminology of pro-abortion activists,

00:17:07.120 my body is being controlled in these scenarios. So if we're going to get rid of abortion bans because

00:17:13.500 they control women's bodies, then we need to get rid of every other law on the books. Because all of 1.00

00:17:19.080 them are intruding on your freedom to do whatever you want with your own body. Which, as we learned

00:17:24.780 during COVID, of course, isn't something that any of these people actually care about anyway. But

00:17:28.300 even within the fantasy realm that left-wing activists have constructed for themselves,

00:17:34.120 the talking point still doesn't make any sense. I mean, these are the same people who have told

00:17:37.480 us for years that men can get pregnant. Men and women are not distinct categories in their worldview.

00:17:44.360 That's supposedly the official consensus position of every Democrat in all of their,

00:17:48.320 these discredited scientific journals that they like to refer to. So under that view, abortion laws

00:17:56.140 would in fact apply to men, specifically quote-unquote trans men, who we're told are no different

00:18:02.040 from normal men. What happened to that? Did Alice Cooper and Kamala Harris just forget all about the

00:18:07.660 existence of quote-unquote trans men? Is this trans erasure? Is this trans genocide that they're 0.88

00:18:13.420 conducting right now? Or are they finally acknowledging that men can't get pregnant,

00:18:17.560 even if these two are too dumb to realize what they just said? Sure seems like it. 1.00

00:18:23.860 So where's the human rights campaign? Where are the trans activists screeching on social media 0.99

00:18:28.660 informing us that Kamala Harris just genocided millions of trans men by denying their lived experience?

00:18:34.700 They're all silent, strangely enough, and we know why. They all know that men can't actually get

00:18:39.080 pregnant and that this is a category that doesn't actually exist at all. And it's all an obvious

00:18:44.940 lie that's maintained by activist organizations that are really just front groups for the Democrat

00:18:48.940 Party. And the thing about lies is that sometimes they're hard to keep straight. Sometimes you slip up,

00:18:54.100 and that's what Kamala Harris and Alex Cooper just did. And that's not even the biggest problem with

00:18:59.400 the talking point, which is that abortion laws do not, in fact, control a woman's body. They control what

00:19:07.160 she is allowed to do to someone else's body. Laws that permit abortion, in fact, give women 0.98

00:19:14.420 absolute power over the bodies of their children to include their male children. And that means that 0.88

00:19:21.280 pro-abortion laws are, in fact, laws that govern what can be done to the male body. 0.98

00:19:28.520 But like all dumb narcissists, Alex Cooper and Kamala Harris never pause to consider the substance of 0.98

00:19:33.740 what they're actually saying. It never occurs to them that their talking points could be wrong, 0.99

00:19:36.940 so they just repeat them over and over again. And while they do it, they make sure to point out

00:19:40.780 how enlightened they are and how dumb men are by comparison. Here's just one of those moments. 0.99

00:19:45.200 Listen.

00:19:46.420 To put it in our TikTok terms, I have seen girls on the street walk up to men and be like, 1.00

00:19:53.720 do you know where a tampon goes? Do you know how many tampons we use? Do you even know how,

00:19:59.200 like, do you know what a X or Y or Z is of a part of our, and they don't know the answer?

00:20:05.180 I was the first vice president or president to ever in office go to a reproductive health care

00:20:13.720 clinic, ever.

00:20:14.740 You know, in retrospect, there's one way that this podcast could have been at least somewhat

00:20:20.820 entertaining, but they can't do it with Kamala Harris as the guest. That was the mistake. The 0.98

00:20:25.300 guest could have been Tim Walz. That would have been worth watching. He could have talked all about

00:20:29.140 his law requiring that high schools, you know, stock the boys' bathrooms with tampons. He could have

00:20:35.200 gone into great detail about how much he knows about tampons and how teenage boys can benefit from them

00:20:40.080 and where exactly they're supposed to put the tampons. But none of that happened, unfortunately.

00:20:45.300 So we're stuck with Alice Cooper and Kamala Harris saying that men are idiots because they 1.00

00:20:49.420 apparently provide unsatisfactory answers when women randomly stop them in the streets and ask, 1.00

00:20:55.780 do you know how many tampons we use? First off, if a random woman asks you that question on the 1.00

00:21:01.720 street, they are obviously the weird ones in that interaction. That's a situation where you should,

00:21:07.120 you know, keep on walking and not make eye contact unless it's absolutely necessary.

00:21:10.080 And by the way, if you're one of these women apparently stopping men on the street to ask 0.97

00:21:12.580 that question and they're not answering and they're walking away, it could be they don't

00:21:16.620 know the answer. It could also be that they don't want to talk about this, you freak.

00:21:21.360 And also, by the way, just so you know, why should any man know how many tampons you use?

00:21:29.360 Why would you want them to know that? No, that's not information anyone should know because you

00:21:35.580 should keep that to yourself. Okay, you shouldn't be talking about that publicly. That's disgusting.

00:21:43.820 And also, if the standard is that people should be educated about topics that don't directly apply 0.99

00:21:48.760 to them or else they're morons, then I have some very bad news for Alex Cooper and Kamala Harris 1.00

00:21:53.680 because both of them are complete morons by that standard or by any other standard. Kamala Harris 1.00

00:21:59.480 doesn't even understand the economic policies that she's proposing,

00:22:03.020 even though she's had several months to figure it out. And that became clear in the span of this

00:22:07.640 45-minute friendly podcast interview. Here's just one example. Listen.

00:22:12.860 Which is why another thing that I'm really focused on is small businesses and startups

00:22:17.000 and giving startups a $50,000 tax deduction because right now it's $5,000 and you can't start up

00:22:23.860 anything, any small business with $5,000.

00:22:27.020 Now, from the sound of it, Kamala Harris thinks that a tax deduction is like an investment in the 0.97

00:22:31.980 business, a check that gets cut, like seed money. She says no one can start a business

00:22:36.660 with $5,000. So she'll give businesses $50,000 instead. But that's not what a tax deduction is.

00:22:42.960 A tax deduction reduces the amount of income that businesses pay taxes on. Nobody's expecting

00:22:49.640 anyone to start a business with the $5,000 tax deduction. The point of the deduction is to

00:22:54.200 help businesses once they've brought some income in. So Kamala's plan would allow businesses 1.00

00:22:59.360 to pay less tax if they're generating more than $5,000 in income. That's the plan.

00:23:04.740 Unfortunately, Kamala is incapable of explaining this in plain English or even understanding what

00:23:09.480 her own plan is. Instead, she's repeated this exact talking point in every recent interview she's done,

00:23:14.440 starting with Oprah. Every single time, she says that no one can start a business with $5,000.

00:23:19.460 She uses that exact formulation verbatim. And at no point does she demonstrate any understanding

00:23:23.920 of what a tax deduction actually is, even the specific tax deduction that she is proposing.

00:23:31.000 And none of the interviewers ever ask her about it because they probably don't know what a tax

00:23:35.100 deduction is either. I don't think that Alex Cooper was probably capable of going back and forth in

00:23:41.240 any about tax policy. So she probably can't even spell deduction. But anyway, that doesn't matter

00:23:48.680 because they do know what tampons are. And apparently that's supposed to be extremely impressive.

00:23:53.400 People whose homes were just destroyed in North Carolina are supposed to watch interviews like

00:23:56.980 this and elevate Kamala Harris to the presidency. People who can't afford groceries are supposed to 0.88

00:24:01.580 feel seen and reassured by the promise that as bad as things get, they can take solace in the fact

00:24:08.400 that Kamala Harris and her running mate are both tampon experts. That's the message of joy and

00:24:14.780 empowerment that Democrats are now pushing. They're courting audiences that listen to Call Her Daddy

00:24:19.720 and Howard Stern. They're betting that this is the level of discourse or lack thereof that most

00:24:25.400 female voters are capable of. It's an entirely degrading way of thinking about your own voters. 1.00

00:24:34.580 And as you can tell very clearly from Kamala Harris's appearance on this podcast,

00:24:38.240 it's a way of thinking that dulls the mind.

00:24:41.280 People who only think about themselves aren't capable of having interesting conversations.

00:24:46.420 They're not capable of coming up with ideas that help anyone else. They're not even capable of

00:24:51.840 feigning empathy as hundreds of Americans die in the wake of one of the worst hurricanes in American

00:24:56.240 history. They're only capable of seeking out new ways to empower themselves. The more depraved and

00:25:03.060 grotesque, the better. That's what Kamala Harris has done throughout her entire political career. 1.00

00:25:07.580 It's a big part of why she's hated, even in her own home state of California.

00:25:12.800 She preaches empowerment as a transparent way of empowering one person, herself.

00:25:19.300 And now, with less than a month to go until Election Day, maybe out of desperation,

00:25:23.380 or maybe because she truly can't help herself at this point,

00:25:26.480 Kamala Harris has finally stopped pretending otherwise.

00:25:29.100 Now, let's get to our five headlines.

00:25:38.240 Folks, let me tell you about something that's got the D.C. swamp absolutely terrified. It's called

00:25:43.660 Calci, and it's the first legal prediction market in the U.S. Now, why should you care? Because for

00:25:50.160 the first time in a century, you can actually put your money where your mouth is when it comes to

00:25:53.720 elections. That's right. The last time Americans could legally bet on elections was back in 1924.

00:25:58.320 The elites have been keeping this power to themselves, but Calci just blew the doors wide

00:26:03.360 open. They got approval from the feds to offer what they call event contracts. Basically,

00:26:07.600 you can take positions on whether future events will happen or not.

00:26:11.460 Now, I know what you're thinking. Matt, isn't this just gambling? Well, no, it's not. This is about

00:26:15.940 using your knowledge to make money and hedge against risks. Plus, these markets are scary accurate

00:26:20.840 at predicting outcomes, way more reliable than those rigged polls the mainstream media loves to trot out.

00:26:25.620 But here's the kicker. Calci isn't just for elections. You can trade on everything from

00:26:30.400 economic indicators to climate change predictions. It's like a crystal ball, except it's powered by

00:26:35.120 the free market instead of some bureaucrat's fever dream. So whether you want to profit from your

00:26:39.120 political insights or just stick it to the establishment by participating in the most

00:26:42.720 accurate election forecast out there, Calci is your answer. Here's the deal. Sign up today at

00:27:11.160 Here's the first piece of news that I want to mention briefly. News in my life and here at the

00:27:16.800 Daily Wire. This past weekend, my film, Am I Racist, officially became the highest grossing

00:27:21.700 documentary in the U.S. this decade. So through the first five years of this decade,

00:27:28.300 we have almost through the first five years of 2020 to almost 2025, we have made more at the box

00:27:35.020 office than any other film in our genre. And we also, on another note, we surpassed over the

00:27:41.040 weekend Super Size Me at the domestic box office. Super Size Me, of course, didn't come out this

00:27:46.300 decade, but is one of the most iconic and famous documentaries of all time, for better or worse.

00:27:52.560 And we surpassed its domestic total. So all in all, some major achievements here and extremely

00:27:58.000 grateful to everyone who came out and supported the film. It's a huge relief, along with many other

00:28:05.200 things. It's a huge relief. I'll say that. Because as we've talked about, as I've mentioned on the

00:28:10.940 show, the fact is that most documentaries just absolutely die at the box office. They make

00:28:16.420 like $40,000 or whatever, and then they fade away. Most movies in general don't perform,

00:28:22.620 documentaries in particular, because documentaries typically are not considered to be kind of

00:28:28.340 theatrical experiences. So in a way, you might think that, because I've said that before,

00:28:36.160 we've also talked about the risk involved in putting into the theaters. But you might think

00:28:42.960 that actually it's kind of a no-risk proposition, because documentaries aren't supposed to make any

00:28:47.580 money. They're not supposed to perform. Most of them don't. And one that's made by a conservative

00:28:53.440 news company that's never put anything in theaters before, well, that's all the more reason why,

00:29:00.880 by all rights, it shouldn't perform. And so if ours flopped, it would only be doing exactly what

00:29:06.400 you'd expect to do and what most any other film in the same situation would do and has done.

00:29:12.360 So you might think that. But we knew that we would not be given that kind of grace.

00:29:19.700 There would be a lot of people lined up to point to our failure and hang it around our necks.

00:29:25.340 There wouldn't be a lot of people saying, hey, you know, it's a documentary and real hard for

00:29:30.560 those to succeed. It's their first try. Don't give them a hard time, guys. That wouldn't happen.

00:29:36.200 Very few people would be saying that. Instead, they'd be pointing at me and calling me a one-hit

00:29:39.800 wonder and celebrating the failure. And it would have been hugely embarrassing, probably devastating

00:29:44.340 to my career personally and to the Daily Wire's brand. So you worry about that before you put the

00:29:49.500 movie out. On top of the deep anxiety that anyone who's ever made anything creative just

00:29:54.360 feels in general. You know, you always worry that before you put something out into the world that

00:29:59.640 people won't get it, they won't like it and all that kind of stuff. Anyway, not trying to turn this

00:30:05.020 into a therapy session. You know how I feel about therapy. The point is simply that even though things

00:30:11.540 turned out extremely well, they didn't have to turn out that way. And there is a very substantial risk

00:30:18.600 involved. Not guaranteed. We needed you guys to go watch the movie and get it, what we're doing,

00:30:24.840 and appreciate it, and then go tell your friends about it. We needed all those things to happen in

00:30:28.640 order for this gamble to pay off. And you did do all those things. So we thank you for that. And

00:30:34.640 in many ways with this film, we're just getting started. It's only been out in the world for a few

00:30:39.580 weeks. So very thrilled by how it's all turned out so far. Donald Trump spoke in Butler,

00:30:46.080 Pennsylvania on Saturday. This is, of course, the site of the assassination attempt, the first one

00:30:51.640 anyway. We now have to qualify that, those kinds of statements. So the site of his first assassination

00:30:56.360 attempt. Elon Musk also spoke in support of Trump. And I'll play a brief snippet of his remarks here

00:31:03.600 there. You know, the true test of someone's character is how they behave under fire.

00:31:10.060 And we had one president who couldn't climb a flight of stairs and another who was fist

00:31:20.340 pumping after getting shot. Fight, fight, fight. Blood coming down the face. Now, America is the home

00:31:34.380 of the brave. And there's no truer test than courage under fire. So who do you want representing

00:31:45.300 America? Yeah, absolutely. And I think this election, I think it's the most important election of our

00:31:57.860 lifetime. This is, this is no ordinary election. The other side wants to take away your freedom of

00:32:05.540 speech. They want to take away your right to bear arms. That they want to, it's where they want to

00:32:13.980 take away your right to vote effectively. You got 14 states now that don't require voter ID. California,

00:32:20.860 where I used to live, is just, just passed a law banning voter ID for voting.

00:32:30.640 So that's, I mean, it's huge that he was there and it's really difficult to overstate the

00:32:35.580 significance of this, to have Elon Musk speaking at a Trump rally. And the real significance of a

00:32:42.280 moment like this, it's not just that Elon is obviously hugely influential and may sway some people

00:32:47.300 to vote for Trump. And that's all true. But the bigger kind of service that Elon is providing here

00:32:52.340 is that he's giving cover to other prominent people to come out and support Trump. And, and so I would

00:33:00.900 expect over the next few weeks to see, to see more of that because once you have Elon Musk, the richest

00:33:07.940 man in the world and one of the most famous men in the world, once you have him giving us, I mean,

00:33:13.120 not just saying that he likes Trump, but actually giving a stump speech at a Trump rally. Now it's,

00:33:18.740 it's not so scary. It's not so scary anymore. If you're also someone of prominence, especially

00:33:25.340 mainstream prominence, it's a little bit less scary for you now to come out and support Trump.

00:33:31.580 It feels a little bit less subversive and forbidden because Elon Musk has done it. Now,

00:33:36.440 of course, Elon Musk has done it and, and is for this and many other reasons is still excoriated by

00:33:43.060 the media. We know all that, but even so it provides a significant amount of cover. And I'm

00:33:51.500 always impressed. The fact that Elon is willing to, you could, you could look at this in a cynical

00:33:58.360 way and you could say that, well, yeah, he's the, he's the richest man in the world. He's got nothing,

00:34:04.780 they can't touch him. He's got nothing to lose. It doesn't take any courage for him to,

00:34:08.280 to come out and do the things that he's done. But I don't see it that way. I see it very similar

00:34:14.240 to, it's the same thing as I've said about JK Rowling for all my issues I have with her

00:34:18.480 ideologically, at least on the trans issue. Yeah, she's a billionaire, but that's exactly why. And 0.99

00:34:23.440 so you could say she's more equipped to deal with the backlash than other people are. And that's true.

00:34:27.360 But also, you know, when you've got that kind of money, you could just as easily, and most people

00:34:34.900 with that kind of money do say, Hey, I, I don't need this. Like, why would I go out and put my

00:34:42.480 reputation on the line, deal with all the backlash? I don't need to do that. Why would I do that?

00:34:47.340 Um, that's what most people in those positions say. So to have all that and say, you know what,

00:34:56.320 I'm going to go dive into the middle of this thing and I'm going to invite the enormous headache

00:35:01.460 that's going to come with it. I'm going to go from being rich and famous and generally beloved

00:35:09.040 and everything is going great and everyone loves me and everything's awesome. And I'm going to make my

00:35:15.060 life a lot more complicated right now. I think that most people in that position are not willing

00:35:19.340 to do that. So it's a huge credit to JK Rowling and Elon Musk that they're willing to, um, on top

00:35:27.320 of everything else, Elon Musk has going on. So also speaking of Elon, the post-millennial has this

00:35:31.400 report from a few days ago, uh, in a post on his X platform Sunday, Elon Musk announced plans to

00:35:38.040 launch unmanned Mars missions within two years and crude missions within four years. This endeavor,

00:35:43.160 which he says is primarily to be funded using revenue from his Starlink satellite internet

00:35:46.780 company is a response to what he sees as the fundamental existential question of whether or

00:35:50.960 not humanity becomes sustainably multi-planetary before something happens on earth to prevent that.

00:35:56.700 In a post tackling philosophical, as well as technological questions, Musk pose the idea

00:36:00.860 that the survival of humanity itself depends on being able to get to colonize and thrive on other

00:36:06.040 worlds. He wrote quote, SpaceX plans to launch about five uncrewed starships to Mars in two years.

00:36:11.740 If those all land safely, then crude missions are possible in four years.

00:36:16.060 If we encounter challenges, then the crude missions will be postponed another two years.

00:36:20.080 It's only possible to travel from earth to Mars every two years when the planets are aligned.

00:36:23.760 This increases the difficulty of the task, but also serves to immunize Mars from many

00:36:27.940 catastrophic events on earth. No matter what happens with landing success, SpaceX will increase

00:36:32.480 the number of spaceships traveling to Mars exponentially with every transit opportunity.

00:36:37.140 So this is one of the many challenges with going to Mars. The shortest distance between earth and

00:36:42.900 Mars is about 30 million miles. And so if you were sending a mission to Mars, it would need to be

00:36:49.660 in that window. The longest distance is like 200 million miles, 230 million miles. So obviously you

00:36:59.480 can't go then you have to go during the short window. And if you go during the short window, it still

00:37:03.160 takes about six months to get there, which is extraordinary amount of time when you think

00:37:07.260 about it, especially for, for, for us these days, like in a kind of odd way, traveling to Mars

00:37:13.120 in a, in a weird way, it's like, it seems more daunting to us today than it would if you just

00:37:21.580 arrived to this time period in a, in a time machine from the year 1820. And what I mean is that for the,

00:37:27.700 for the majority of human history, the idea of traveling to a certain location for months and

00:37:32.440 months, uh, the concept of measuring travel time in months or years wasn't so foreign. You know,

00:37:39.300 that was normal. And obviously they didn't have the technology to go to space back then, but

00:37:42.200 the time involved, like the time alone was not unusual. And these days travel is usually measured

00:37:50.220 in minutes or hours. Uh, a long trip is one that you measure in a few hours by our standards today.

00:37:57.380 Uh, at the most, you might measure it in days, a few days at the absolute most. Like if I were to

00:38:03.380 leave where I am right now and go to the farthest possible place on earth from my current location,

00:38:08.080 it would take what, like a day, maybe, maybe two days to get there. Um, so when you think about

00:38:14.120 traveling for months and months at a time to one destination, it's just mind boggling. And we don't,

00:38:20.820 that just doesn't exist. That doesn't exist in the human species anymore. That kind of travel

00:38:25.060 length. Um, at least not in the modern world. Uh, and of course the travel time isn't the greatest

00:38:31.920 obstacle. You know, there are many other, um, obstacles as well, which is why it's a very good

00:38:37.060 thing that we have a multi-billionaire who cares about stuff like this. Um, we certainly can't rely

00:38:41.720 on the government to do it anymore. And it'll forever blow my mind that space travel

00:38:48.460 is not a relevant political issue, like at all. I mean, presidents and presidential candidates

00:38:56.680 never talk about it. Like it doesn't come up. We haven't heard it in a debate. It does. It just

00:39:02.200 doesn't come up. It's not even, it's, it's apparently not a topic of interest at all, uh,

00:39:09.600 politically, which I think is pretty sad. All right. Daily Wire has this, the Department of

00:39:14.560 Agriculture is set to pay $50,000 to encourage children and young adults who identify as

00:39:20.100 transgender, lesbian, gay, or bisexual to go on wilderness conservation trips in the Pacific

00:39:25.980 Northwest. So the government's not worried about, you know, going to Mars, but they are worried

00:39:31.120 about getting more trans and gay people into the forests in Oregon. So we got our priorities 0.98

00:39:37.560 straight here. The grant, which started in 2022 and runs through 2026, was awarded to the Northwest,

00:39:43.480 uh, Youth Corps, a conservation organization based in Eugene, Oregon that works to diversify the outdoors.

00:39:51.720 The grant funds, uh, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer inclusion and sound to summit crews in an

00:39:58.600 apparent reference to two different programs. The, uh, Northwest Youth Corps explained how it

00:40:03.300 intends to diversify the outdoors, adding that a key element in our commitment to diversity, equity,

00:40:07.420 inclusion is fielding single identity, affinity crews and internships to support communities

00:40:13.040 historically underserved in the outdoor space. This is one of the most bizarre, probably the most

00:40:20.060 bizarre iteration of the DEI agenda. This idea that we have to make the outdoors. We have to make nature

00:40:28.600 more inclusive of approved victim groups. I mean, listen to the wording here. Communities historically

00:40:37.200 underserved in the outdoor space. What the hell does that mean? Underserved by the outdoors?

00:40:46.120 What do you mean? There's no better example of the overwhelming narcissism of left-wing identity

00:40:54.840 politics than this. Imagine going outside, going out into the woods, and then feeling somehow victimized

00:41:04.120 because, because you aren't being served. You aren't being included. Who the hell is supposed to be

00:41:12.100 serving you? The, the, the trees? The rocks? Do you want woodland creatures to emerge from the forest and

00:41:23.760 start singing you a song? Like, what do you want? What are you? Snow White? Pocahontas? Is that how you

00:41:30.220 think this works? You're standing out in the forest looking around. I feel so underserved right now.

00:41:37.880 This is how these people see the world. They really see the world this way. This is how they see it.

00:41:44.620 They see nature itself as a thing that exists to serve them. That they are entitled to be served and

00:41:52.060 included when they walk out into the wilderness. Nature is obligated, duty-bound, to include and welcome

00:42:00.820 and serve them. This just, it explains so much about left-wing thinking. And it also explains,

00:42:12.120 as I've argued many times, it explains the incredible arrogance behind left-wing environmentalism and

00:42:18.360 climate alarmism. This arrogance that masquerades as humility, as, as concern for nature, as even a kind

00:42:25.800 of worshiping of nature. But, and I think this is something that the conservatives often get wrong,

00:42:32.440 by the way. They talk about environmentalists and say that they're nature worshipers. They're actually

00:42:36.120 not. That, in fact, would be really an improvement over what is really happening. Not that we want people

00:42:44.880 to be nature worshiping pagans. But it turns out that there are worse things than that. And the worst

00:42:54.080 thing is to be what these people are, which is worshipers of the self. Like, they couldn't bring

00:42:59.380 themselves to actually worship nature because that would require too much humility. It would require

00:43:04.760 kind of a sense of awe at the grandeur of nature, which is, which is really what led primitive pagan

00:43:13.900 cultures historically, and even primitive pagan cultures today. It's what led them to become 1.00

00:43:19.440 pagan. It's why, it's why they worship nature, because they, they looked around at all of these

00:43:24.760 amazing things happening and the sun in the sky and these giant trees that are growing. And they saw

00:43:29.820 all these things and the wind blowing and these things that they can't control, that are outside of

00:43:33.840 their control. And they recognize these things as immense and powerful. And because they did not

00:43:39.680 have the fullness of truth of, and they didn't have the Christian faith, they, you know, that led them

00:43:49.840 to worship these things that God has made rather than to worship God himself. Again, not, not what we

00:43:56.860 would recommend for people today. But my point again is that these, these leftists, these environmentalists,

00:44:03.840 are doing something worse than that, that they are actually worshiping themselves. And they believe

00:44:10.480 that they have power over nature, that human beings create the weather and have the power to change it

00:44:18.540 just by passing laws and regulations. They have this incredibly outsized view of their own importance

00:44:23.760 and their own power on a cosmic scale. This is what separates the self-proclaimed liberal environmentalist

00:44:31.480 and supposed nature lover. You know, the kind of liberal who would even put nature lover on their,

00:44:38.000 whatever, their dating profile. They say, oh, nature lover, I love going for hikes. It's like, yeah,

00:44:42.920 first of all, you've never been on a hike, actually. You went for a walk in the woods

00:44:46.620 for 30 minutes, okay? You don't, that's not a hike.

00:44:50.240 Um, and it separates them from the conservative who actually loves nature, but doesn't go around

00:45:01.200 declaring it and certainly wouldn't call themselves an environmentalist. The difference is that the

00:45:06.000 conservative who loves nature, and I'm one of them, by the way, uh, we love it because we appreciate it

00:45:12.640 for what it is. We have a healthy respect for it. We don't idolize it. We don't put it on a pedestal,

00:45:17.200 but we also don't try to put ourselves on a pedestal in relation to it. We understand that

00:45:21.540 nature is beautiful and, um, uh, majestic and awe-inspiring, uh, but also brutal and terrifying

00:45:28.660 and utterly indifferent to us and our wants and needs and desires. That, that's the difference.

00:45:37.860 Now, God is not indifferent to us, but nature itself, when you're walking around the woods,

00:45:42.180 like, the woods are indifferent to you. They don't care. Um, the sun is indifferent to you.

00:45:47.880 It doesn't care. And this is what they don't understand. I'm, I'm very certain that I spend

00:45:55.400 more time in nature, quote unquote, than the vast majority of liberals who call themselves

00:46:01.360 environmentalists. Um, I love nothing more than go out on a lake, spend all day there, uh,

00:46:08.040 surrounded by water and trees and, you know, listening to the sounds of the bugs and the

00:46:12.680 birds and the loons on the water. Uh, we're raising our children the same way. My son has a whole

00:46:17.040 campsite set up on our property, uh, where he spends hours there each day practicing with his bow and

00:46:24.280 cutting firewood and working on a shelter and all that stuff. And yet I'm not raising him to be an

00:46:32.000 environmentalist and I'm not one of those either. I don't, I'm not going to identify myself that way.

00:46:36.800 Um, but I have a, as many conservatives do, a healthy respect for nature that these people don't

00:46:44.200 have. Um, and you know, your mind just really can't be emphasized enough. You're, you, your mind

00:46:52.820 must be so overwhelmed by narcissism. You must have succumbed to it to such a hopeless degree

00:46:59.380 if you could walk out into nature and rather than being awestruck by its beauty, instead start

00:47:08.420 thinking about all of the things that you're entitled to. Like it shouldn't even be possible

00:47:15.140 to have that kind of, if you're looking out over a mountain range or something, if you have a, if you

00:47:21.460 have a healthy mentality, it should just be, you should just be caught up in the beauty of it

00:47:25.940 and understanding how small and helpless you are in comparison with this vast, powerful thing.

00:47:34.080 But yeah, you have these liberals that can look at that and all they're thinking about is,

00:47:37.260 I don't, I don't feel included. Include me mountains.

00:47:44.160 It's just, it's crazy. You know, I'm always on the lookout for ways to save time in my day,

00:47:49.000 such as a mobile ordering my coffee so I can skip the line of sleep deprived zombies,

00:47:53.520 because let's face it, time is money and I'd rather spend mine doing something productive

00:47:57.100 or at least entertaining. Now, if you're running a business, you know that being able to work on

00:49:38.880 cancellation. We began the show talking about Kamala Harris and I am loathe to end the show also talking

00:49:51.120 about Kamala Harris but that's the situation we find ourselves in except I'm going to do something

00:49:56.300 different this time around something unprecedented at least for me. I'm going to defend her. There are

00:50:01.940 many valid reasons to criticize Kamala. She's incompetent, unfit for office, dishonest, morally corrupt, 1.00

00:50:06.620 never accomplished anything and so on. All of that might be true but I'm all about fairness on this 0.99

00:50:11.340 show and in fairness I think it must be said that Kamala doesn't get enough credit for her eloquence. 1.00

00:50:17.060 In fact she's she's accused of being ineloquent even incoherent most of the time and I think the

00:50:22.140 people who make such accusations are being you know frankly intentionally obtuse. They can understand

00:50:28.000 what Kamala is saying they just pretend that they can't and today I want to talk about a specific

00:50:32.340 example. So this past weekend Kamala sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes.

00:50:35.760 During the course of that conversation she was asked about the situation in the Middle East.

00:50:41.560 Her response has now gone viral on social media for all the wrong reasons. Many people are claiming

00:50:46.100 that in response to the question she served up a heaping portion of word salad one so confused and

00:50:52.540 disjointed unwieldy that it's it's shocking even by her standards. Now I'm going to play the longer

00:50:58.040 version of this clip so you get the full context. The alleged word salad comes in the last 20 seconds

00:51:03.480 um but here's the whole thing. Listen. Does the U.S. have no sway over Prime Minister Netanyahu?

00:51:13.820 The aid that we have given Israel allowed Israel to defend itself against 200 ballistic missiles that

00:51:21.740 were just meant to attack the Israelis and the people of Israel. And when we think about the threat that 0.91

00:51:31.000 Hamas Hezbollah presents Iran I think that it is without any question our imperative to do what we can to 0.91

00:51:40.780 allow Israel to defend itself against those kinds of attacks. Now the work that we do diplomatically

00:51:45.820 with the leadership of Israel is an ongoing pursuit around making clear our principles which include

00:51:54.720 the need for humanitarian aid the need for this war to end the need for a deal to be done which would

00:52:03.200 release the hostages and and and create a ceasefire. And we're not going to stop in terms of putting

00:52:09.600 that pressure on Israel and in the region including Arab leaders. But it seems that Prime Minister Netanyahu is

00:52:16.800 not listening. Well Bill the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements in that region

00:52:28.640 by Israel that were very much prompted by or a result of many things including our advocacy for what needs to

00:52:38.960 happen in the region. So that's about a 40 word sentence which is rather long by the standards of the English language. No punctuation in that sentence either. But keep something in mind. Some of the great things that

00:52:54.800 Cormac McCarthy for instance were known for their epically long sentences and sparse use of punctuation. Cormac McCarthy was a brilliant eloquent and lyrical writer. Which are all adjectives that some people might use to

00:53:24.720 describe Kamala Harris. I've never known anyone who would describe her that way. But some people might. Now Kamala's critics are pretending that they can't understand what she was trying to say there at the end. But I think they're being really unfair. And I'll prove it. So let's break this down. Okay. You weren't expecting this. But this is a this is gonna be a full a full defense in depth defense of of Kamala Harris piece by piece. So she begins

00:53:54.400 The work that the work that we have done. What kind of work? Well it doesn't matter. The work. Some sort of work. And we are doing work aren't we? Can you deny that we whoever we are in this context are doing work? The definition of work is activity involving mental or physical effort done in order to achieve a purpose or result. So we're all doing work of some kind every second of the day arguably when you walk down the steps you're doing work. When you eat lunch you're doing work. We're always doing work.

00:54:22.400 Doing work. We're rarely not doing work. And you know and that's the point that Kamala is making here. She continues the work that we have done has resulted in a number of movements. Again her critics will be disingenuous and demand to know what kind of work and what kind of movements. They're getting hung up on technicalities. The fact is that we are doing work as we just established. And there are movements that are happening. Would you deny that? Would you look at the situation in the Middle East and tell me that things aren't moving? No you wouldn't.

00:54:51.900 So I mean so don't criticize Kamala here. She's 100% right. Things are moving. Movements are moving. Movements are moving and they're creating more movements which are also moving and in the end resulting in additional movements.

00:55:06.300 And that's what Kamala is getting at in I think in this next portion of the sentence which says movements in that region by Israel that were very much prompted by or result of many things.

00:55:16.540 Now this is brilliant and undeniably accurate yet again. The movements were prompted by or a result of. Now if something is prompted by something else then it is by definition a result of that thing.

00:55:31.100 So isn't it redundant to use both words. Yes but it's not untrue. That's the point. Kamala likes to use two or three words. Sometimes four words in a row that all mean the same thing.

00:55:41.620 And you can call it redundancy. I like to call it verbal generosity. She's providing us with many words. Many more words than we need.

00:55:51.120 And so you can kind of take your pick of the word that you like. And we have a word surplus now. And that's never a bad thing especially in this economy.

00:56:00.400 Prompted by, she says, or a result of many things. Okay. So these things that happened were themselves a result of many things.

00:56:12.620 What kind of things? Many. Many things. Again, who could deny the truth of this statement?

00:56:19.420 Who could look me in the eye with a straight face and tell me that there are not many things happening in the Middle East.

00:56:24.500 Which were all caused by other things that also happened.

00:56:28.220 So, like, what's the alternative? Are you seriously going to tell me that there aren't many things occurring?

00:56:35.600 Like, all the people that are laughing at this alleged word salad, what are you trying to say?

00:56:39.060 Are you going to claim that there's, what, there's only one thing happening? Or no things?

00:56:45.840 Don't be ridiculous. You're sitting over there judging Kamala Harris for her alleged lack of coherence. 0.98

00:56:50.520 While at the same time, you're pretending that there aren't many things causing many other things to happen at this exact moment. 0.99

00:56:56.160 So you're being a hypocrite. You should be ashamed. 1.00

00:56:58.820 And now we get to the grand finale of this sentence.

00:57:01.700 It all culminates in this, what I think really is a stunning rhetorical flourish.

00:57:07.600 She says, quote,

00:57:08.240 The result of many things, including our advocacy for what needs to happen in the region.

00:57:16.280 Our advocacy for what needs to happen.

00:57:20.400 What exactly needs to happen?

00:57:23.340 Well, who knows?

00:57:25.400 That's not the point.

00:57:26.920 Don't focus on semantics.

00:57:28.180 The fact is that certain things need to happen.

00:57:32.320 And we're advocating for those things.

00:57:36.100 Would you prefer that we advocate for what doesn't need to happen?

00:57:39.340 Is that what you're saying? 0.95

00:57:40.780 So you accuse Kamala of being some kind of babbling, inarticulate midwit. 1.00

00:57:44.600 And yet you're the one claiming that we should advocate for what doesn't need to happen.

00:57:48.280 As opposed to Kamala's plan, which is to advocate for what does need to happen.

00:57:52.900 I mean, give me a break.

00:57:54.880 Kamala's point here is very clear.

00:57:55.920 She's saying that we need to engage in advocacy in order to advocate for the things, the many things, that need to be advocated for.

00:58:06.400 And most certainly, not for the things that should not be advocated for.

00:58:10.980 Which is a remarkable insight.

00:58:14.900 Now think about it.

00:58:16.460 There's so much confusion and disarray in the Middle East.

00:58:20.880 Indeed, in the entire world.

00:58:23.260 Where's all this chaos coming from?

00:58:24.700 Well, it happens because lots of people are doing things that don't need to be done and should not be done.

00:58:32.560 So Kamala is now coming along and saying, hey folks, let's all do the good things rather than the bad things.

00:58:42.160 And then everyone turns and responds and asks, well, how many good things should we be doing?

00:58:48.420 And Kamala says, many.

00:58:50.480 We should do many of those things.

00:58:52.460 And frankly, few, if not none, of the not good things.

00:58:57.480 So her point is that if we do all the good things that we should do, then that will result in many other things which are also good and which will themselves result in many other things that have been prompted by the things before them which they are the results of.

00:59:14.440 You see?

00:59:16.440 You see?

00:59:16.800 You see what she's trying to say here?

00:59:19.060 Now you may listen to all of this and you may laugh and sneer and claim that Kamala is just babbling mindlessly.

00:59:29.760 But if you really listen, if you listen with an open mind, unburdened by what has been, you can perceive the great wisdom in her words.

00:59:41.520 If only we would heed them.

00:59:43.880 We could have peace on earth.

00:59:45.080 And that is why, in a great twist, this time around, it is Kamala's critics who are today canceled.

00:59:57.580 That'll do it for the show today.

00:59:58.520 Thanks for watching.

00:59:59.020 Thanks for listening.

00:59:59.620 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:00:00.820 Have a great day.

01:00:02.240 Godspeed.

01:00:02.600 Godspeed.
