The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1459 - No, I’m Not Doing Another DEI Film, But CBS May Need Me To Step In

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the DEI grift is collapsing across the country, but some

00:00:03.940 organizations are clinging desperately to it. We'll talk about that. Also, Kamala Harris sits

00:00:08.240 down for her first real interview, where she's actually challenged a little bit. It doesn't go

00:00:13.360 well for her. And the White House press secretary gets into a heated exchange with a Fox News 0.62

00:00:17.380 reporter. But there's something else about the video that deeply confuses me. And a new documentary

00:00:22.280 about euthanasia features an incredibly disturbing interview with one of the doctors who administers

00:00:27.100 these quote unquote treatments. She said a lot more than she meant to in the interview. We'll

00:00:32.240 talk about all of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:31.200 Well, I didn't expect to have to do this so soon after the release of my film, Am I Racist? But at

00:02:36.360 this point, I really have no choice. Already, I find myself having to dispel rumors on social media that

00:02:42.200 a sequel to the film is in production, in which I don an even more convincing disguise and infiltrate the

00:02:47.580 most absurd DEI struggle sessions that I can find deep inside the bowels of corporate America.

00:02:53.780 Now, you might think that rumors like this would be hard to take seriously, if only because I probably

00:02:58.940 wouldn't be able to find any more DEI struggle sessions to infiltrate. After all, it's been

00:03:03.040 more than four years since the DEI craze began. It's clear now that the industry is crumbling.

00:03:08.980 Universities from Florida to Texas to Kentucky have closed their DEI departments. Various state

00:03:14.500 governments are doing the same thing. Meanwhile, people like Robbie Starbuck have exposed several

00:03:19.020 major companies for promoting the DEI scam, Tractor Supply, John Deere, Harley-Davidson.

00:03:24.540 And every single time, once they're exposed, these companies reverse course. They're all aware of how

00:03:28.600 shameful and counterproductive and absurd DEI programs are, so they're canceling them left and

00:03:34.240 right. But the truth is that despite all that's happened, there are still some failing institutions

00:03:40.580 in this country that are clinging to the DEI industry. In times of internal crisis, there are

00:03:47.780 some major corporations and government agencies that are willing to pay DEI consultants in a

00:03:53.360 desperate attempt to right the ship. And some of these attempts are so comical on their face that

00:03:58.240 they would admittedly make great fodder for a sequel to Am I Racist? And I'll go through a couple of

00:04:04.000 examples in a second. But first, again, I just want to reassure anyone who's about to be forced to

00:04:09.200 attend a DEI workshop that, no, I will not be in attendance with a man bun or otherwise. 1.00

00:04:16.280 I've done my time. I've already been certified. I don't need to go back into that environment. I

00:04:21.840 graduated. And that might be a missed opportunity, admittedly, since these DEI sessions are now so

00:04:28.180 absurd that they really should be featured in a comedy movie of some kind. What's happening at CBS

00:04:34.440 News right now is maybe the best example. They've just brought in a DEI expert because the whole

00:04:40.000 company is falling apart. They're self-immolating. Here's the background. Yesterday, Puck News reported

00:04:46.180 that, quote, CBS News has been roiling after a CBS Mornings interview in which a CBS anchor pressed

00:04:53.000 Ta-Nehisi Coates over his pro-Palestinian framing of the Israel-Palestine conflict. This morning,

00:04:59.040 on October 7th, CBS News leaders Wendy McMahon and Adrian Rourke told staff that the interview did

00:05:06.380 not meet editorial standards for impartiality, though they declined to elaborate on how or why.

00:05:11.840 When they tried to move on, CBS News chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford criticized the leaders

00:05:16.400 for their decision. So to summarize, CBS News is melting down internally over a seven-minute interview

00:05:22.080 on CBS Mornings in which an anchor supposedly failed to be impartial during an interview with a

00:05:28.760 guest named Ta-Nehisi Coates. Here's part of that interview. And as far as I can tell,

00:05:35.200 this is as heated as it got. Watch.

00:05:39.100 Ta-Nehisi, I want to dive into the Israel-Palestine section of the book. It's the largest section of the

00:05:43.020 book. And I have to say, when I read the book, I imagine if I took your name out of it, took away

00:05:49.360 the awards and the acclaim, took the cover off the book, the publishing house goes away, the content of

00:05:54.220 that section would not be out of place in the backpack of an extremist. And so then I found

00:06:00.520 myself wondering, why does Ta-Nehisi Coates, who I've known for a long time, read his work for a long

00:06:05.640 time, very talented, smart guy, leave out so much? Why leave out that Israel is surrounded by countries

00:06:12.160 that want to eliminate it? Why leave out that Israel deals with terror groups that want to eliminate it?

00:06:17.320 Why not detail anything of the first and the second intifada, the cafe bombings, the bus bombings,

00:06:23.160 the little kids blown to bits? And is it because you just don't believe that Israel in any condition

00:06:29.800 has a right to exist? Well, I would say the perspective that you just outlined,

00:06:35.340 there is no shortage of that perspective in American media. That's the first thing I would say.

00:06:41.960 I am most concerned always with those who don't have a voice, with those who don't have the ability to 1.00

00:06:46.420 talk. So that's it. It's a question that is not very flattering, at least by the standards of a

00:06:55.220 CBS Mornings interview. It's a completely reasonable question. The anchor wants to know why the guy's

00:07:01.280 book is so one-sided. He's challenging him on the one-sided nature of his book. And instead of

00:07:07.160 answering the question, the author starts talking about how the media is aligned against him. So it's

00:07:10.840 a pretty obvious dodge, but there's nothing remarkable about any of this. And the rest of the

00:07:16.140 conversation goes on in the same way. It remains cordial on both sides for the entire segment

00:07:20.040 where this guy is pushed, challenged a little bit. That's how an interview is supposed to work.

00:07:25.800 Put another way, this was not the kind of interview that should have caused any kind of meltdown inside

00:07:29.880 a news organization that employs alleged adults. It really shouldn't have provoked any kind of reaction

00:07:35.300 whatsoever. Reasonable people, whatever they think of this particular issue, should be able to tolerate

00:07:40.300 frank, direct questions about their beliefs. But inside CBS News, that's not happening.

00:07:46.680 The network is tearing itself apart because a lot of their employees are upset that the anchor did not

00:07:52.180 just heap praise on this guy's book and tell him how great it was. The anchor was not sufficiently

00:07:58.600 deferential to the plight of people in Gaza or whatever. So the leaders of CBS News are now apologizing,

00:08:06.040 saying the interview didn't meet their, quote, editorial standards. First of all, the idea that CBS News

00:08:12.020 has any editorial standards would be news to anyone who watched, you know, the vice presidential debate

00:08:17.040 between J.D. Vance and Tim Walls, for example. I mean, at one point, the CBS moderators invented a quote

00:08:22.260 out of thin air and attributed it to Vance. At another point, they tried to do a drive-by fact check that

00:08:27.100 happened to be false. And when Vance tried to correct the record, they cut his microphone. But despite all this,

00:08:32.840 CBS News is still pretending that they're a serious news organization with standards. And those standards

00:08:38.460 apparently mean that anchors don't get to ask questions about books, at least when those questions upset the

00:08:44.140 left-wing activists inside the organization who, for some reason, are posing as journalists. So CBS's management

00:08:51.360 team is panicking. They have no idea what to do. And in their panic, they're falling back on a familiar strategy.

00:08:57.880 Instead of displaying any form of leadership whatsoever, they're outsourcing the job.

00:09:03.200 And they're not just outsourcing it to anyone. They're bringing in the big guns. They're bringing

00:09:07.380 in a DEI expert to help clear all this up. Here's the follow-up report, again, from Puck News.

00:09:14.580 I promise this is not a guerrilla marketing campaign for my movie. This is real. Quote,

00:09:19.800 update, CBS News has invited self-described mental health expert, DEI strategist, and trauma trainer,

00:09:26.860 Dr. Donald Grant, to moderate conversation on this issue in an all-staff meeting tomorrow.

00:09:33.500 Again, to be clear, I am not Dr. Donald Grant. That is not my alter ego. You'd be forgiven for

00:09:39.300 thinking otherwise, as many people apparently do, given the circumstances. I mean, if you go on LinkedIn,

00:09:44.200 you'll find that Dr. Grant is the author of an article about Kamala Harris that's entitled,

00:09:48.340 quote, she is a DEI hire. So what? And that does sound like something that I'd write,

00:09:54.820 in fairness. But in fact, Dr. Donald Grant is a very real DEI consultant that CBS News has called in,

00:10:00.900 all because one of their anchors asked a mildly probing question to a guest on a talk show.

00:10:07.880 But Dr. Donald Grant is not me. He doesn't appear to be anything like me, in fact. I mean,

00:10:13.240 for one thing, I'm DEI certified, which Dr. Donald Grant does not appear to be. And, you know,

00:10:20.040 that's an important credential, as I outline in the film. Also, Dr. Donald Grant does not have a

00:10:25.300 glorious man bun. And additionally, unlike Dr. Donald Grant, I don't post unhinged cartoons on

00:10:30.220 Instagram that mock black Republicans simply because they're black. That's another notable 1.00

00:10:34.160 difference. This is one of those cartoons that Dr. Grant uploaded to give you some idea what I'm

00:10:38.880 talking about. And you can see it there. This is the DEI consultant that they've caught in to,

00:10:48.060 you know, to clear things up. This is the kind of thing that CBS News apparently likes to see in

00:10:54.500 their DEI experts. Now, if you ask me, it seems a bit like a liability. But the biggest distinction

00:10:59.780 between myself and Dr. Donald Grant and the reason that CBS should have hired me instead of him

00:11:04.480 is that, you know, I don't just make things up. If you see my film, you know that my DEI workshop

00:11:10.780 was airtight. Everything I said was verifiably true and sane and reasonable. My workshops really

00:11:17.540 get down to the nitty gritty, even to the point of elder abuse and self-flagellation. So Dr. Donald

00:11:24.620 Grant isn't as serious about doing the work as I am. His DEI sessions just don't meet the same standard.

00:11:31.100 And I can make that assumption because I just watched Grant's appearance, recent appearance,

00:11:36.400 on a podcast entitled Born to be Dope. And I'll show you a part of it. And as you watch this,

00:11:45.680 try not to be distracted by the bizarre life-size photo of the host that's displayed on the screen

00:11:53.120 right behind him. He has a picture of himself staring over his own shoulder for the entire interview.

00:11:58.600 We'll come back to that later, though. But for now, here it is. Watch.

00:12:03.600 And so when you look at the current statistics on Black maternal mortality and Black infant mortality,

00:12:12.720 which is also Black babies die at 2.4 times the rate of white babies up to one before their first

00:12:19.320 birthdays. Wow. And research shows us that Black babies are more likely to live if they're cared for

00:12:25.560 by Black doctors. That, to me, is the piece that demonstrates that this is all about systemic racism. 0.57

00:12:31.060 Right. Come back right to the system.

00:12:32.840 Literally right back to the systems part. And so when you talk about white superiority ideology, 0.60

00:12:38.840 white supremacy, right now one of the biggest pieces of evidence is, in fact, the Black maternal mortality rate.

00:12:46.700 So one of the biggest pieces of evidence that white supremacy is real, according to Dr. Grant, 0.66

00:12:52.720 is the Black mortality rate. Specifically, he says that, quote, research shows that Black babies are 0.94

00:12:58.300 more likely to live if they're cared for by Black doctors. And this is a claim that's very popular 1.00

00:13:02.840 among DEI activists. In fact, one of our DEI Supreme Court justices, Ketanji Brown Jackson,

00:13:07.940 made this same argument in a recent opinion. And you can see why the implication,

00:13:13.640 what they're trying to imply is that white doctors don't care as much about Black babies, 0.99

00:13:18.620 so they just let them die because they're Black. Or they don't try as hard or communicate as well 0.99

00:13:25.700 with the baby's parents or whatever. Now, as an aside, this is maybe the only time you'll get

00:13:30.640 left-wing activists to pretend to care about babies being left to die. You know, of course,

00:13:34.920 when Tim Walls or Ralph Northam say that doctors can kill babies who survive abortions,

00:13:39.720 they have no problem with that. And many of those babies are going to be Black, by the way. 0.99

00:13:45.240 But if they can blame white supremacy, then suddenly they care. Except this actually is not 0.98

00:13:50.140 happening. Well, babies are being left to die, you know, in the context of abortion.

00:13:56.040 But what he's talking about here, that's not happening at all, like in any way, shape, or form.

00:14:01.700 A lawyer named Ted Frank took a close look at the data, and he found two things.

00:14:06.720 First of all, this claim appears to originate from a study by Northwestern University doctors

00:14:11.820 showing that when there's a Black doctor and a Black infant, the survival rate for the infant

00:14:17.400 is 99.96%. And when it's a white doctor and a Black infant, the survival rate is marginally 0.96

00:14:24.880 lower at 99.91%. Okay, so that's a difference of what? 0.05%. Not a big difference we're talking about.

00:14:35.820 Okay, it's like well within the margin of error when you're doing a study of this kind.

00:14:42.260 And more importantly, more importantly, there's a very clear explanation for the difference as

00:14:48.640 tiny as the difference is, which is that white doctors tend to be more highly specialized

00:14:54.520 than Black doctors on average. So they see the worst cases, babies in the NICU who are barely

00:15:02.260 clinging to life. So they're not seeing the same babies with the same conditions.

00:15:08.320 On average, they're seeing babies who are in worse shape, who already have a higher likelihood

00:15:13.540 of dying. That's the logical explanation for the difference in survival rates, but it never even

00:15:21.180 occurs to these liars because all they're capable of doing is lying. They're too busy promoting

00:15:26.120 themselves and their victimhood to actually think about the issues that they're talking about.

00:15:29.420 That's especially true of the host of this Born to Me Dope podcast, who, as I mentioned,

00:15:34.200 does his show in front of a gigantic picture of himself. That actually came up at one point

00:15:38.740 during the conversation. And, you know, it doesn't really matter, but here's how he explains

00:15:44.240 why he has a massive picture of himself right behind him at all times. Watch.

00:15:49.820 My background is from church and where I feel like we're always told, be humble. You can't,

00:15:57.140 you know, speak out about yourself, be meek. I'm like, no, we were born to be dope.

00:16:02.640 And it's got, we got, you know, it's all about, like I said, a celebration of unapologetically

00:16:07.780 you. And it came from me, my personal experience, because as an author, and I tell this story often,

00:16:13.280 first book came out 2005. And my biggest challenge I had when I published my book,

00:16:18.680 and you understand this as an author too, was do I put my black face on the cover of my book?

00:16:22.540 That part. That was the biggest, that was the biggest challenge.

00:16:26.520 Yeah. That's why his books don't sell. Cause he, cause he's black. 1.00

00:16:29.280 So growing up, this podcast host went to church where he learned to be meek and humble. And then

00:16:38.940 he grew out of all that nonsense. And now he understands the true purpose of life,

00:16:42.420 which is that he was born to be dope. Now, you know, maybe I'm a little rusty on my exegesis, but

00:16:49.520 yeah, I mean, I do, I think if I remember correctly, that born to be dope is, it's somewhere

00:16:55.740 in first Corinthians. So that checks out who needs a hope, love, or faith when you have your own

00:17:01.800 dopeness to fall back on who needs humility when you can elevate and worship yourself.

00:17:06.300 That's the foundation of DEI after all. And remarkably, not every company has abandoned it

00:17:11.320 yet. There are still dumpster fires like CBS news that have a place for this nonsense long after every

00:17:16.360 reasonable person has moved on. Another one of these dumpster fires, as we all know, is the federal

00:17:20.640 government. They also have a use for DEI. So take FEMA, for example, as you may have heard,

00:17:26.460 they're under fire lately for completely failing to do their one job, which is to respond quickly

00:17:30.760 and effectively to disasters. A fact, which is even more concerning, given that there's another

00:17:35.800 massive hurricane bearing down on the United States as we speak. But, you know, what we know

00:17:42.420 about FEMA is in fact, if anything, they're, they've been actively impeding rescue efforts.

00:17:46.420 They've also somehow managed to run out of money, even as they're giving more than a billion dollars

00:17:51.320 to illegal migrants. How did that happen exactly? Well, in recent days, a lot of people have noticed

00:17:56.200 that FEMA's top strategic priority, according to its website, is equity. And here's what that looks

00:18:01.520 like in practice. This is footage from an internal FEMA disaster preparedness meeting called

00:18:05.900 Helping LGBTQIA plus survivors before disasters. This was held last year. Panelists include Maggie

00:18:13.940 Jerry of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and somebody named Tyler

00:18:19.060 Atkins, who's an emergency management specialist at FEMA, who also uses he, they pronouns, by the way.

00:18:24.720 And just listen to this.

00:18:28.360 Sparked a few things in my mind, thinking about preparedness and how you said, you know,

00:18:34.500 LGBTQIA people and people who have been disadvantaged already are struggling.

00:18:41.580 They already have their own things to deal with. So you add a disaster on top of that.

00:18:48.640 It's, it's just compounding on itself.

00:18:52.780 And I think that is maybe the why of why we're having these discussions is because it isn't being

00:18:59.880 talked about. It isn't being socialized. We're not paying attention to this community.

00:19:04.880 Thank you. Thank you so much. Maggie.

00:19:08.280 Thank you. Yeah, I, there are a couple of things that are intersecting in my mind here. One of them

00:19:13.300 is the culture of emergency management as an organization, as an industry in the United States,

00:19:18.700 specifically not abroad. This has, and my cat sometimes does this, she gets really loud suddenly.

00:19:25.200 So you'll have to just allow for the little meowing in the background. The, you know, the shift that

00:19:31.520 we're seeing right now is a shift in emergency management from utilitarian principles, where

00:19:36.420 everything is designed for the greatest good, for the greatest amount of people, to disaster equity.

00:19:42.700 But we have to do more, right?

00:19:44.920 Like, I don't know how much more clear they can make it. They're directly saying that they are not

00:20:10.380 trying to help the greatest number of people. It's right there. You heard it. That's a quote

00:20:17.500 that needs to be repeated every day until this entire organization is dismantled. Openly admitting

00:20:22.900 they don't want to help as many people as they can. They're saying that some people, I guess,

00:20:28.820 deserve to suffer during disasters, specifically American citizens, and especially those who are 1.00

00:20:33.280 straight white males, we can assume. Illegal aliens, meanwhile, get to loot the treasury. They get more 0.94

00:20:39.360 than a billion dollars, while FEMA runs out of money for American citizens. If you're LGBT, then 1.00

00:20:44.220 you're, then you're, you also are a top priority. So, you know, I guess we'll, we'll, maybe we'll find

00:20:51.240 out what this next hurricane, but when the helicopters finally do show up a week later to rescue people

00:20:57.220 from their rooftops, they're going to want to know. They're going to shout down like, hey, okay,

00:21:02.800 everybody line up. It's so line up. If gay or no trans get to the front of the line, we'll rescue you 1.00

00:21:10.220 first. Gay, bisexual, you'll be, and, and then straight white males, you can just jump off, just 1.00

00:21:16.000 jump off the roof into the water here. We're not, we're not going to help you. This is the anti-American, 1.00

00:21:22.380 anti-human ideology that defines DEI. And it's always been the case ever since DEI became a multi-billion

00:21:28.180 dollar industry. What's changed is that more and more people now realize this. The only organizations

00:21:35.200 that are still clinging to DEI, at least publicly, are some of the most dysfunctional organizations on

00:21:39.580 the planet. And I probably don't need to make another movie mocking their DEI programs because

00:21:44.580 at this point, you know, they're doing a great job of that on their own. So no, I'm not secretly

00:21:49.860 leading the DEI session at CBS news today, as much as I kind of wish that I was. I won't be

00:21:55.480 infiltrating FEMA anytime soon, at least as far as they know. And that's the good news for the

00:22:00.260 people running the DEI scams of these organizations. The bad news, the news that spells the end for

00:22:05.200 their entire industry is that with or without my involvement, the rest of the country is now united

00:22:10.800 in laughing at these people. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:22:21.180 Let's talk about something that really matters. Being a real man in a world that's trying to destroy

00:22:25.460 masculinity. The radical left wants you to believe that being a man is somehow wrong,

00:22:29.660 that we should all be weak, passive, and androgynous. Here's the truth. Society needs 0.80

00:22:34.240 strong men now more than ever. That's where Responsible Man comes in. Responsible Man,

00:23:36.020 So Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes. I didn't watch the whole thing, 0.57

00:23:41.700 but I've seen enough of the clips. And it would appear that this is the first,

00:23:45.340 maybe the first real interview that she's done. Certainly this election, in years, actually,

00:23:52.080 the first real interview, maybe ever. I don't know. And I'm sure it was an accident. She didn't

00:23:57.020 think that she was heading in for a real interview, but she got one. And we'll play a few clips for you

00:24:04.000 for some reason. We'll start with the worst one. Here's Kamala actually being held to account

00:24:09.420 for her failures at the border. And this is kind of a long clip, but I think we need the whole

00:24:15.320 context. And you'll see the most amazing thing about this is that she is actually challenged a

00:24:22.480 little bit. Now, the bar's really low for the media, of course, as we know. So we don't want to make the

00:24:27.640 mistake of giving too much credit to a journalist who just does their job. But it is a rare sight indeed.

00:24:34.220 So let's watch this. You recently visited the southern border and embraced President Biden's

00:24:41.680 recent crackdown on asylum seekers. And that crackdown produced an almost immediate and dramatic

00:24:49.660 decrease in the number of border crossings. If that's the right answer now, why didn't your

00:24:57.840 administration take those steps in 2021? The first bill we proposed to Congress was to

00:25:04.100 fix our broken immigration system, knowing that if you want to actually fix it, we need Congress

00:25:11.120 to act. It was not taken up. Fast forward to a moment when a bipartisan group of members of the

00:25:20.360 United States Senate, including one of the most conservative members of the United States Senate,

00:25:23.840 got together, came up with a border security bill. Well, guess what happened? Donald Trump got word

00:25:29.700 that this bill was afoot and could be passed. And he wants to run on a problem instead of fixing a

00:25:36.480 problem. So he told his buddies in Congress, kill the bill, don't let it move forward.

00:25:41.300 But I've been covering the border for years. And so I know this is not a problem that started

00:25:47.360 with your administration.

00:25:48.880 Correct, correct. But there was an historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border

00:25:57.520 the first three years of your administration. As a matter of fact, arrivals quadrupled from the last

00:26:04.800 year of President Trump. Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did?

00:26:14.040 It's a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day one, literally,

00:26:21.820 we have been offering solutions. What I was asking was, was it a mistake to

00:26:27.400 kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place? I think the policies that we have been

00:26:35.580 proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. Okay. But the numbers did quadruple.

00:26:41.740 And the numbers today, because of what we have done, we have cut the flow of illegal immigration

00:26:48.940 by half. We have cut the flow of fentanyl by half. But we need Congress to be able to act

00:26:58.380 to actually fix the problem.

00:27:01.520 All right, pretty brutal. And I'm shocked this guy is pushing back on her. He must be a right-wing

00:27:07.300 extremist. He must be a secret Trump supporter. That's the only explanation. But Kamala is in a

00:27:15.640 real bind here. Even if she was rhetorically gifted, even if she was good at deftly navigating

00:27:22.000 these kinds of landmines, it would still be a nearly impossible task because the fact is that

00:27:27.980 border crossings quadrupled, as he points out a number of times. And those are the stats. Those are

00:27:35.500 the figures. Nothing you can do about it. Well, you could have done something about it before,

00:27:40.520 but now that's what happened. And there is no good answer. But in Kamala's case, she is not skilled 0.97

00:27:49.960 at navigating this kind of stuff. She isn't really skilled at anything. She isn't a good BS-er or even

00:27:55.620 a passable one. So you get this meltdown and she looks awful. Incompetent and dishonest, which are 1.00

00:28:03.440 the worst combination, it's the worst combination if you're a political candidate. If you're going

00:28:09.400 to be dishonest, at least be competent. And if you're going to be incompetent, at least be honest.

00:28:15.100 And she's the worst of both worlds. But that's not the only embarrassing clip. There was also this

00:28:20.880 exchange, which in some ways I find to be even more humiliating and more difficult to watch. But

00:28:29.100 there's this exchange about her alleged firearm that she allegedly owns. Watch.

00:28:36.560 A hard left turn here. But you recently surprised people when you said that you are a gun owner.

00:28:44.400 And then if someone came into your house- That was not the first time I've talked about it.

00:28:48.320 That's not the first time I've talked about it.

00:28:50.020 So what kind of gun do you own? And when and why did you get it?

00:28:53.260 I have a Glock. And I've had it for quite some time. And I mean, look, Bill, my background is

00:29:01.560 in law enforcement. And so there you go.

00:29:06.060 Have you ever fired it?

00:29:07.700 Yes. Of course I have. At a shooting range. Yes, of course I have.

00:29:14.040 Of course. Yeah, I'm getting some serious, you know, my girlfriend goes to another school

00:29:20.380 vibes from this. She fully comes off like a child lying to her friends about something.

00:29:29.880 She reminds me of myself when I was like six or seven years old. And I lied to my friend

00:29:37.720 because he was bragging about his baseball card collection. That was a thing back when I was

00:29:42.100 a kid. I don't know. Do kids even do baseball cards anymore? Probably not. Anyway, he was

00:29:49.640 bragging about it. And I said that I had an original Babe Ruth card because I was just trying

00:29:54.680 to one-up him because he was being such a jerk about it. And he's like, really? You have 0.98

00:29:59.340 an original Babe Ruth card? Where'd you get that? Well, I got it. I found it. Where'd you find

00:30:07.380 it? From under my couch? So it fell apart pretty quickly. And that's what often happens

00:30:14.940 in these. That's why I learned a lesson early. One lie leads to another. Kamala Harris. But

00:30:19.480 I was in second grade, so I give myself a pass. Kamala Harris is like 60 years old and telling

00:30:26.760 this lie. But the fact that she's clearly lying about being a firearm owner, in particular

00:30:34.380 firing, actually firing the gun. That's not the interesting thing. Of course, she lies

00:30:41.900 about everything. The interesting thing is that she feels the need to lie about this in

00:30:45.860 the first place. And that shows you. She's lying about, she's pretending now all of a sudden

00:30:52.780 to be some kind of border hawk. She's pretending to be a law and order, you know, kick ass and 1.00

00:31:00.200 take names, lock them up, throw the bad guys away and throw away the key kind of person. 0.99

00:31:06.420 She's pretending. And she's even pretending that she's a gun nut now. The fact that she 0.95

00:31:13.300 feels she needs to lie about that is the most telling thing. And what it says is actually

00:31:22.060 encouraging. It says that on the right, we're winning on those issues. We're winning culturally,

00:31:27.280 at least. And we may not be winning politically, because to win politically, you need to elect

00:31:33.780 people who can advance this agenda legislatively. But culturally, we're winning on immigration crime 0.99

00:31:40.400 and gun rights. The fact that the most left wing, the most liberal major party presidential candidate

00:31:49.980 in history is putting on this performance, I think tells you everything you need to know.

00:31:56.500 One more clip. Here she is on economics, which is always a great subject for her. Let's watch.

00:32:03.540 My plan is about saying that when you invest in small businesses, you invest in the middle class

00:32:12.000 and you strengthen America's economy. Small businesses are part of the backbone of America's

00:32:17.320 economy. But pardon me, Madam Vice President. The question was, how are you going to pay for it?

00:32:24.360 Well, one of the things I'm going to make sure that the richest among us who can afford it

00:32:29.560 pay their fair share in taxes. It is not right that teachers and nurses and firefighters are paying a

00:32:38.100 higher tax rate than billionaires and the biggest corporations. And I plan on making that fair.

00:32:44.700 But we're dealing with the real world here. But the real world includes how are you going to get

00:32:49.220 this through Congress? You know, when you talk quietly with a lot of folks in Congress,

00:32:54.160 they know exactly what I'm talking about because their constituents know exactly what I'm talking

00:32:58.980 about. Their constituents are those firefighters and teachers and nurses.

00:33:05.580 He challenges her then on how she's going to pay for her plan, which is an important thing to

00:33:10.240 challenge her on. And she has no idea how she'll pay for it. That's not even the biggest problem 0.89

00:33:15.320 here. The biggest problem is this completely insane claim. We just talked about it last week. Here it is

00:33:19.680 again. The insane claim that people like teachers, you know, people who are at the income level of

00:33:27.060 teachers pay a higher tax rates than rich people. And that is just totally delusional. It is absolutely

00:33:38.200 disconnected from reality. There are a lot of people who believe this nonsense. 0.89

00:33:44.460 And it's I'd love to see a poll on this. How many Americans believe this? How many Americans

00:33:50.200 actually believe that rich people are paying low, a lower tax rate than teachers? Um, I, I, I would

00:34:00.820 not be surprised if that, if someone did that poll and it came back that like 70% of Americans or

00:34:06.040 something believe this, it's just such a common claim. It's not remotely true. Okay. It's, it's,

00:34:11.140 it is, it is not remotely true. Here's what is true. The highest federal tax rate in this country

00:34:21.080 applies to single individuals who have an income of about $600,000, a little more than $600,000

00:34:27.080 for joint filing. It's like 700,000, 750, something like that. Um, these people are paying almost 40%

00:34:36.020 and that's just federal income tax. That doesn't count state taxes. Doesn't count property taxes.

00:34:41.120 Um, uh, when you factor all that in, you're talking about some people are paying 50%, 60% almost

00:34:48.420 of their income and taxes. Teachers are not paying that much. Teachers are not paid. Just let's stick

00:34:55.620 with just federal income taxes. Teachers are not paying 40%, not even close. And they certainly aren't

00:35:02.860 paying more than 40%. Okay. If you're a teacher paying more than 40% of your income,

00:35:10.740 you have the worst accountant on earth. I don't know what you need to go to TurboTax. I don't know

00:35:16.520 what you're doing that you're paying that much. Um, most teachers are going to end up in, in the

00:35:24.380 bracket that pays like 12%. Uh, if you look at the brackets on the IRS website, it, it, it would

00:35:30.840 technically put a lot of teachers in the 22% bracket at most, but then you have to factor in, uh,

00:35:38.300 deductions and all that stuff so that most teachers are not actually paying 22%. But again,

00:35:43.860 none of them, none of them are paying more than 40%, which is what people who qualify as rich

00:35:52.320 by IRS standards have to pay. And did you notice something about the tax practice brackets? These

00:36:00.980 rich people are not all billionaires. In fact, almost none of them are billionaires. There are

00:36:07.220 only like 700 billionaires in the whole country. It, they're billionaires are basically irrelevant.

00:36:14.540 They barely exist 700 in a country of 330 million people. You could confiscate all of their money,

00:36:23.840 take all of it. You could put a tax rate of a hundred percent on billionaires and it would fund

00:36:31.260 the government for like a week or something. Okay. I mean, the government spends, uh, 16 billion

00:36:41.120 dollars a day. Okay. A day. So you could, you could take, uh, Elon Musk's entire net worth

00:36:54.800 and reduce him to poverty, which I know the left would love to do that. It would fund the government

00:37:01.640 for what? Two weeks, two weeks. So the billionaires don't matter. Um, they don't,

00:37:10.380 they don't really matter when it comes to, it's, it's marginal. It's, it, they're spending so much

00:37:15.800 money and there are so few billionaires that it's, it, it's a drop in the bucket. These taxes on the

00:37:24.760 rich are mostly screwing over people who are not billionaires. In fact, a huge number

00:37:30.460 of these people are not even millionaires. Okay. Again, the, the top tax rate, you're talking about

00:37:39.180 $600,000 for a single individual. These are not most, so these aren't even millionaires.

00:37:45.120 And while that's happening, these idiot liberals are pretending that actually somehow by some voodoo 0.98

00:37:52.360 magic, public school teachers are paying more in taxes than people who have to fork over 40% of their 1.00

00:37:58.220 income to the federal government. And, uh, and, and, you know, we went over this already, but,

00:38:05.940 uh, higher income people by that, I mean, and the IRS means more importantly, people who make 600 K or

00:38:15.840 more, not billionaires, not even close to billionaires, um, higher income people pay for

00:38:22.600 almost everything. They get the worst deal by a long shot. They get screwed the most by our current

00:38:31.040 tax system. And it's not even close. Okay. I know it's not, it's like not a popular thing. It's not 0.65

00:38:38.560 very populist to say that, uh, to say, Oh, you know, boo hoo, someone who makes 600 K is getting robbed by

00:38:44.660 the government. But yeah, you know what? Yeah. Boo hoo. It like, it's a bad thing. It is a bad thing.

00:38:49.500 It's actually outrageous. The government is just straight up stealing nearly half of the income

00:38:55.420 of millions of American families, uh, millions of American workers who have worked extremely hard

00:39:02.160 to get to where they are. And they have families to take care of only to get ruthlessly punished for it.

00:39:10.860 Um, so yeah, they are the victims of the tax system. Okay. I mean, they just are people who make,

00:39:19.200 uh, 40, 50, 60 K, the average American income. Yeah. They do pretty well when it comes to federal

00:39:26.220 income taxes. They're getting screwed in a bunch of other ways. Everybody is. Every American is

00:39:29.860 getting screwed by the system because we have an incompetent, corrupt, wasteful, um, uh, government, 0.99

00:39:36.700 government and federal bureaucracy that screws everybody over. No question about it. But, 0.99

00:39:42.520 uh, so we're all getting a raw deal. But my point is when it comes to the federal income tax system

00:39:49.820 specifically, higher income people have by far the most to complain about. Um, and it, it doesn't

00:40:02.940 surprise me that this is a, a, a truth, a truth that very few politicians will ever articulate,

00:40:10.040 even the conservatives, the supposed conservatives, even the people who, um, uh, you know, certainly

00:40:15.800 know better. Uh, most of them are not going to come out and say this because then it's like,

00:40:22.200 you're accused of, Oh, it's the crocodile tears, tears for the rich. So no one just comes out and

00:40:28.820 says, stop the nonsense. Teachers are not paying more. You know, middle, middle class people, 0.78

00:40:35.900 working class people are not paying more in taxes than people who are in the top income

00:40:41.220 tax bracket. That is not happening. And yes, the fact that anyone in this country is having

00:40:50.560 nearly half of their income taken by the federal government is a travesty. It is an injustice. It's

00:40:58.340 insane. Uh, and, but you know, we're not supposed to, that's, we're not supposed to talk about that,

00:41:06.980 I guess. All right. Karen Jean pair was asked about, um, about sending money to Lebanon while American

00:41:17.640 citizens are suffering from hurricane Helene. And, uh, this is a bit of an exchange. Got a little bit

00:41:23.980 heated. Let's watch this. On this issue of funding, the administration has money to send to Lebanon 0.97

00:41:32.080 without Congress coming back. But Congress does have to come back to approve money to send to people

00:41:38.960 in North Carolina. Do I have that right? Here's what I'm going to be very clear about. The president

00:41:43.920 and the vice president has had a, a robust whole of government, uh, response to this. Hundreds of

00:41:51.700 millions of dollars. I said it at the top, more than $200 million, uh, that we have directly, uh, put

00:41:57.860 towards survivors here, uh, for the, for disaster help. And that's because of this president's

00:42:03.820 commitment, uh, to make sure that we are there for communities that are impacted. President Biden is

00:42:09.720 fond of saying, show me your budget and I will tell you what you value. If he has got money for people in

00:42:16.260 Lebanon right now, without Congress having to come back, what does it say about his values? There's not an

00:42:21.660 money right now for people in North Carolina who need it. That's not misinformation. Wait, no, that is

00:42:27.320 your whole, your whole premise of the question is misinformation, sir. What you don't, yes, yes,

00:42:32.800 it's misinformation. I just, I just mentioned, I just mentioned, I just mentioned to you that we

00:42:38.540 provided more than $200 million to folks who are impacted in the area. And I just shared with you

00:42:44.180 that people are deciding not to, people are deciding not to, not to wait. We're talking about

00:42:52.820 the SBA disaster loan. That's money for people in North Carolina. And that's important. And people

00:42:57.440 in North Carolina. Stop it there. Cause you know, I mean, I'm just looking at the screenshot of the,

00:43:04.800 I, this is a mystery to me. I, I was like, I didn't sleep last night. I was tossing and turning,

00:43:11.840 trying to solve this mystery of, of why, why is she wearing this? Why is she dressed like that?

00:43:19.660 What, why is she dressed like a Dick Tracy villain? I don't, why is she wearing her great 1.00

00:43:25.400 grandfather's suit jacket? Why does she look like a child who just raided like a box of clothes in 0.95

00:43:34.160 their grandmother's attic? Right? Like I can smell the mothballs through the screen.

00:43:41.280 Why is she wearing, I want it. I can't move on until I know I really can't. I can't move on with

00:43:44.980 my life until I understand why she wore that. Is it, was it a joke? Did I, am I, am I missing

00:43:50.240 context on this thing? There must be some kind of context that would make sense of why she's wearing 0.57

00:43:56.020 that. Was this a dare? Was it a bet? Why does she look like, you know, like three kids stacked on top 1.00

00:44:04.540 of each other in a trench coat and a fake mustache trying to sneak into a racetrack and a cartoon from

00:44:09.600 the forties? Uh, well, that's what I want to know. Why does she look like she's about to play the 0.98

00:44:19.780 trumpet in a nineties ska band? She's about to go swing dancing. Maybe that explains it. Did she

00:44:27.600 come out to start the press conference and say, Oh, I just got, I just got back from a swing dancing.

00:44:35.560 Why do I have zoot suit riots stuck in my head after watching this clip? Why did she,

00:44:41.460 she, why does she look like a cross between like a prohibition era mobster? 1.00

00:44:49.780 And a prohibition era hobo, like a, like a black lesbian Al Capone. 1.00

00:44:57.680 I just don't get it. 0.98

00:45:00.980 Anyway, what were they talking about? Yeah. The government is sending billions to Lebanon,

00:45:04.540 even as our own citizens are left to die. That that's true. That is happening. Uh,

00:45:09.300 no way around it. No way around that. No way around that suit jacket she's wearing. 1.00

00:45:15.480 Um, just know what you can't, you literally can't get around. It's so wide.

00:45:22.080 It's got shoulder pads. Like she could be in the NFL with the shoulder pads on that thing. 1.00

00:45:27.360 She's wearing shoulder pads, the size. It's like a, it's like a NFL nose tackle, uh, shoulder pads on 1.00

00:45:32.860 that, on that suit jacket. So I don't get it. I just don't get it. I'm perplexed.

00:47:33.320 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:47:41.500 Well, the last few daily cancellations we had on the show have been, you might argue,

00:47:45.400 not very serious. This segment today will be therefore a rather jarring change of pace

00:47:50.460 because today we're going to cancel a woman named Ellen Wiebe. She is a Canadian doctor,

00:47:58.500 and I use the term doctor very loosely here, who specializes in abortion and euthanasia.

00:48:05.300 This woman has made killing into her life's work. She has a body count that history's most prolific 1.00

00:48:11.740 serial killers would envy, and she's extremely proud of it. Wiebe was featured in a recent documentary

00:48:17.740 for the BBC by journalist Liz Carr, who set out to investigate the issue of so-called assisted dying.

00:48:23.040 Now, Carr is disabled herself and approaches the topic from a very skeptical viewpoint. She's worried,

00:48:30.560 and she should be, that the proliferation and normalization of euthanasia

00:48:33.700 is putting disabled people like herself at risk, and it is. Her documentary titled Better Off Dead,

00:48:40.380 which with a question mark, that's a question, not a statement, came out a few months ago,

00:48:44.420 but the clip of her conversation with Wiebe just went viral this week. Watch.

00:48:59.060 Hello. Thank you for seeing me. You too. Should we do hands and whatever? Are we very formal?

00:49:06.100 Do we not? We don't need to be formal, but we also don't need to touch hands. Fine, good.

00:49:11.420 Yes, well, when your hands are drenched in blood, it's probably best if you don't go around touching

00:49:18.160 other people's hands, so at least the doctor was being considerate there, I guess. We're only 20

00:49:22.640 seconds in, and Wiebe has barely said anything, and you're already getting the impression this woman 0.97

00:49:27.660 is a straight-up psychopath, and I promise you it only gets worse from here. Watch. 0.97

00:49:33.300 You do this work actually here sometimes. Most people want to die in their own homes,

00:49:40.680 and so I would be in their home, and of course, many people are in hospital, in hospice,

00:49:47.040 in care homes, and then there are people who don't feel comfortable dying at home. For example,

00:49:52.040 they don't want their spouse to have to deal with their memory of them dying in their home.

00:49:58.340 So then they come here, and this is a recliner, and so people recline here, and they can snuggle

00:50:08.800 up with their loved ones if they want, and so it's a good place for some people.

00:50:16.780 Mm-hmm. So this is the serene, beautiful death that Wiebe offers her, quote-unquote,

00:50:28.160 patience. They can sit in the corner of her drab office on a faux leather recliner and stare at

00:50:35.880 the white wall under the fluorescent lights while an old woman with short hair and a fake smile 1.00

00:50:40.620 puts them down like a dog. I truly cannot imagine a worse way to die. I really can't. I'd rather be

00:50:47.180 shot and bleed out in the street than die in that woman's office, and I mean that totally sincerely. 0.99

00:50:54.940 Let's continue.

00:50:56.840 How many main deaths have you been involved with?

00:51:01.440 Over 400.

00:51:03.460 That sounds like a lot. Is that what you do now?

00:51:06.480 Right. No, no, I still run a contraception and abortion clinic in addition to my maid work. 1.00

00:51:13.900 So she has killed 400 people through euthanasia in addition to the presumably hundreds of abortions 1.00

00:51:19.680 she's performed in her career. This woman has single-handedly killed the population of a small 1.00

00:51:24.660 town, and no human being is meant to experience that much death, much less administer it. If you have

00:51:33.640 a conscience, this much death and misery would weigh heavily on your mind. You would be crushed by it.

00:51:39.900 You'd be incapacitated by it. That's how a normal person with a soul would respond. But Ellen Wiebe 0.96

00:51:46.960 doesn't feel that way. In fact, she is positively giddy. The very idea of human suffering makes her laugh.

00:51:55.040 And I mean that literally. Watch.

00:51:58.300 Apart from the fact that I don't have the desire, I think probably I would be eligible under the

00:52:05.180 Canadian law.

00:52:06.840 Well, you'd have to be suffering unbearably, and you'd have to convince me that you were

00:52:11.360 suffering unbearably.

00:52:12.800 And from what you said, I know you're not going to do anything here and there.

00:52:17.500 I know, it's good.

00:52:18.680 I mean, words cannot describe how deeply unsettling this is. I mean, I find this woman truly more 0.99

00:52:29.600 viscerally terrifying than any horror movie villain. How could a person even manage physically

00:52:38.320 to smile like that while saying the phrase, you'd have to be suffering unbearably?

00:52:44.280 Literally smiling and laughing at the thought of unbearable human suffering.

00:52:50.520 I have watched prison interviews with serial killers where there was more empathy and humanity

00:52:55.720 on display. And later in the interview, Dr. Wiebe has another hearty laugh at the thought

00:53:00.460 of her disabled interviewer developing a terminal illness. Again, not exaggerating. Watch. 0.78

00:53:06.900 So, Liz, right now, you love life and you want to live. But there's lots of nasty illnesses

00:53:14.900 you might get.

00:53:17.260 Yeah.

00:53:19.700 And if you got terminal cancer and you were having to deal with chemotherapy and radiation,

00:53:26.200 wouldn't you be thrilled that if you had the choice to say, I'll go this far and no further?

00:53:32.780 My God. I mean, I would rather be like tortured to death by the Taliban in a cave somewhere than 0.99

00:53:44.560 have that person doing the honors, let's say. I mean, and there is inappropriate laughter,

00:53:54.980 you know, the Kamala laugh, as it's come to be known. And we're used to that at this point. 0.98

00:53:59.680 But then there is the psychotic supervillain laughter talking about unbearable suffering

00:54:06.940 and terminal illnesses like they're the punchlines to a joke would certainly fall into the latter

00:54:12.820 category. I mean, this woman would be the most disturbing stand-up comedian of all time. 1.00

00:54:20.240 So I think you get the point by now. This is an evil person. And when your country legalizes 0.97

00:54:24.960 euthanasia, not to mention abortion, you are inviting people like this into the medical field.

00:54:31.160 People who, rather than healing and treating the sick, actually have a deep desire to kill,

00:54:38.860 it would seem. Or at the very least, they enjoy it. She says at the end of this interview that she

00:54:45.620 loves her job. Killing people who are suffering unbearably. She loves it. She says that. 0.97

00:54:56.560 Someone who takes joy in human suffering. And, you know, that's reason enough, of so many other

00:55:02.280 reasons, that is reason enough to outlaw the practice of euthanasia. But Dr. Weed did say one

00:55:07.980 enlightening and even insightful thing, actually. When asked why people choose euthanasia, she said

00:55:15.120 this. Do you think the number one reason that people want made? The reason, the number one reason

00:55:24.840 is autonomy control. And what? And everybody's different of what they think of as autonomy and

00:55:32.600 control. Yeah. So that would be about not wanting to lose that in their lives. Yes. Control. They

00:55:40.940 desperately want control. Like, they want to say, it's now. And we say, okay, well, I can get back

00:55:50.720 here at seven o'clock. Is that okay? And they'll say yes. And they'll be so grateful that they can skip

00:55:57.280 the last two days of their life. And I look at it and think, what do you really need it with some

00:56:04.060 more drugs? But you want my drugs, I'll give them two. Now, notice something, because this is very

00:56:11.580 interesting. She did not say that people choose euthanasia because they want to end their suffering.

00:56:20.520 She didn't say that. She even acknowledges that in most cases, there are drugs that could do that.

00:56:27.280 I mean, drugs that could keep you alive for the time being, while also ending, or at least

00:56:33.540 greatly mitigating your physical suffering. So she says that they choose euthanasia because they want

00:56:41.980 to take control. And she returns to this theme a couple of times in the interview. And I'll say that

00:56:48.940 at least on this topic, she is an expert. Okay. She's an expert in killing people. And so I would 0.80

00:56:57.080 trust her judgment on that at least. She says they're doing it because they want to take control.

00:57:02.480 And yeah, I think she's exactly right. In fact, I have made that precise point many times in the past

00:57:07.700 about this subject. To hear it repeated by an administer of euthanasia is pretty compelling

00:57:13.760 confirmation. As I've argued, in a morbidly ironic way, euthanasia, quote unquote, assisted dying,

00:57:21.460 is a product of a society that fears death. We are a culture of death, not because we love death,

00:57:31.680 although Dr. Weeb seems to love it, but because we're so deeply terrified of it.

00:57:37.480 The paradox is that people who fear death the most end up embracing it because death is outside of

00:57:44.380 our control. It is, along with taxes, the most unavoidable fact of life. Some people,

00:57:49.960 staring down the barrel of this unavoidable fact of life, they try to game the system by taking

00:57:56.720 control, killing themselves before nature has a chance to do it. But there are two things you

00:58:02.220 should notice about this. First, the logic doesn't make any sense. You're not actually taking control

00:58:09.140 of anything. This is not you seizing control. It's like if you're on a plane that's in the process

00:58:18.620 of crashing, and you take control of the situation by jumping out of the plane at 30,000 feet without

00:58:25.580 a parachute. You're still falling to your death. You haven't taken control of anything at all.

00:58:31.860 You're tumbling uncontrollably to your own death. The only thing you've achieved, the only thing,

00:58:37.760 is that now, rather than being the victim of a tragic accident, your death will forever be recorded

00:58:43.040 as a suicide. But you're just as dead either way. The manner of your death is almost exactly the

00:58:51.640 same. But now you took your own life. There's no control there. I mean, you hear about someone

00:58:57.480 taking control when their plane's about to crash. In your head, what that would mean is like they seize

00:59:02.380 control of the plane and they stop it from crashing. That's taking control. But if you're still

00:59:08.600 dead at the end of it, you have not taken control. If you could really have control over the situation,

00:59:14.140 it would just not crash and you would live. So you have not taken control here. And now your death,

00:59:25.200 it's certainly not more honorable and most certainly not more dignified.

00:59:31.220 the opposite is the case, really. And that's the tragedy of it.

00:59:39.140 Second, whatever you say about this control issue, and even if you think that taking your own life

00:59:43.880 right before the plane crashes is somehow more dignified and honorable than dying in the crash

00:59:48.020 itself, either way, no matter how you look at it, one thing is for certain. This has nothing to do

00:59:56.700 with medicine. The medical field should not be anywhere near this. Whatever else you might say

01:00:03.840 about the decision to jump out of the plane, it is definitely not a medical treatment, okay? Just as

01:00:09.620 sitting on a recliner in that cackling woman's office and letting her give you a fatal dose of 1.00

01:00:14.560 poison so that her evil grin will be the last thing you see before you shuffle off this mortal coil 1.00

01:00:19.880 is not a medical treatment. Even if I agree that it's an advisable decision or a morally defensible

01:00:27.860 one, which I do not, I still would not call it medicine because it is not medicine. That is the

01:00:37.800 fundamental problem with legalized euthanasia. Death is not medicine. You cannot treat or cure someone

01:00:45.540 by directly and intentionally killing them. My apparently controversial view is that the medical

01:00:52.200 field should only be involved in medicinal practices. A doctor should be solely focused on diagnosing and

01:01:01.640 treating injury and illness. Nothing more and nothing less. That's why they exist. It's what their job is

01:01:09.600 for. Euthanasia and, yes, abortion puts them in the position of doing the opposite of what their job

01:01:18.480 is for. The difference between a euthanasia doctor and a real doctor is the difference between a

01:01:24.620 firefighter and an arsonist, between a bank teller and a bank robber. I mean, imagine living in some

01:01:31.840 bizarro world where if you really want to commit arson, you want to burn down your neighbor's home with him

01:01:37.060 still inside it. You could legally call someone to do it for you. And now imagine that the firefighters

01:01:44.160 themselves were the ones you called. Imagine that firefighters were tasked both with starting fires

01:01:52.040 and putting them out. I mean, to call that a conflict of interest would be a massive understatement.

01:02:01.360 In the medical field, the firefighters have become the arsonists. Those we trust to save lives are now

01:02:11.440 paid to destroy them. And the more we allow this, the more we're going to end up with doctors like

01:02:18.500 Ellen Wiebe. And that should be enough reason to convince any sane person to reject euthanasia

01:02:25.580 entirely. It's also certainly enough reason to say that Ellen Wiebe is today most definitely 0.52

01:02:32.940 canceled. That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

01:02:37.680 Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
