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
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.
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,
00:05:39.100
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
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
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.
00:12:32.840
Literally right back to the systems part. And so when you talk about white superiority ideology,
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,
00:12:52.720
is the Black mortality rate. Specifically, he says that, quote, research shows that Black babies are
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
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,
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
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.
00:13:45.240
But if they can blame white supremacy, then suddenly they care. Except this actually is not
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
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.
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.
00:18:28.360
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.
00:18:52.780
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.
00:19:08.280
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.
00:19:44.920
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
00:20:33.280
straight white males, we can assume. Illegal aliens, meanwhile, get to loot the treasury. They get more
00:20:39.360
than a billion dollars, while FEMA runs out of money for American citizens. If you're LGBT, then
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
00:21:10.220
first. Gay, bisexual, you'll be, and, and then straight white males, you can just jump off, just
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,
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
00:22:34.240
strong men now more than ever. That's where Responsible Man comes in. Responsible Man,
00:22:39.300
a daily wire ventures company, has created the Emerson multivitamin, not for soy boys or woke
00:22:44.480
millennials, but for men who understand their duty to their families and their country. This isn't some
00:22:49.340
feel-good supplement pushed by corporations pandering to the latest trends. The Emerson multivitamin is
00:22:53.960
packed with 33 key ingredients that actually work, supporting your immune system, sharpening your
00:22:58.800
mind, and keeping your body strong. It's fuel for men who are ready to stand up against the tide of
00:23:03.800
degeneracy sweeping our nation. And unlike so many products these days, it's made right here in America.
00:23:08.680

00:23:36.020
So Kamala Harris sat down for an interview with 60 Minutes. I didn't watch the whole thing,
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
00:25:48.880
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
00:27:01.520
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
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
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
00:29:07.700
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
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
00:31:00.200
take names, lock them up, throw the bad guys away and throw away the key kind of person.
00:31:06.420
She's pretending. And she's even pretending that she's a gun nut now. The fact that she
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
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
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.
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
00:37:52.360
magic, public school teachers are paying more in taxes than people who have to fork over 40% of their
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
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,
00:39:36.700
government and federal bureaucracy that screws everybody over. No question about it. But,
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,
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
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
00:43:25.400
grandfather's suit jacket? Why does she look like a child who just raided like a box of clothes in
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
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
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
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?
00:44:49.780
And a prohibition era hobo, like a, like a black lesbian Al Capone.
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.
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.
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
00:45:32.860
that, on that suit jacket. So I don't get it. I just don't get it. I'm perplexed.
00:45:39.680

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
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
00:49:27.660
is a straight-up psychopath, and I promise you it only gets worse from here. Watch.
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
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.
00:50:56.840
How many main deaths have you been involved with?
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.
00:51:13.900
So she has killed 400 people through euthanasia in addition to the presumably hundreds of abortions
00:51:19.680
she's performed in her career. This woman has single-handedly killed the population of a small
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
00:51:46.960
doesn't feel that way. In fact, she is positively giddy. The very idea of human suffering makes her laugh.
00:51:58.300
Apart from the fact that I don't have the desire, I think probably I would be eligible under the
00:52:06.840
Well, you'd have to be suffering unbearably, and you'd have to convince me that you were
00:52:12.800
And from what you said, I know you're not going to do anything here and there.
00:52:18.680
I mean, words cannot describe how deeply unsettling this is. I mean, I find this woman truly more
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.
00:53:06.900
So, Liz, right now, you love life and you want to live. But there's lots of nasty illnesses
00:53:19.700
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
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.
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.
00:54:20.240
So I think you get the point by now. This is an evil person. And when your country legalizes
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.
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
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
01:00:14.560
poison so that her evil grin will be the last thing you see before you shuffle off this mortal coil
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
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.
