The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1500 - Why The Left Is Really Celebrating The Murder Of A CEO

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the left celebrates the murder of a healthcare CEO, but why exactly

00:00:08.000 what's really going on. Plus, the father of Jordan Neely tries to cash in on his son's death by suing

00:00:12.620 Daniel Penny, but Daniel Penny should be the one suing Jordan Neely's father. I'll explain. And

00:00:17.000 the left comes up with its most desperate smear against Pete Hegseth yet. We'll talk about all

00:00:21.120 that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:56.840 Butler, there was an outpouring of very primal and vicious rage from all corners of the left,

00:02:01.980 both on social media and in the mainstream corporate outlets. And for the first time in

00:02:06.460 American history, the near assassination of a president didn't bring about a period of national

00:02:10.240 mourning or condemnations from Hollywood and academia. Instead, the overwhelming sentiment was,

00:02:15.360 in effect, that Donald Trump had it coming. It continued even after the second assassination attempt

00:02:20.880 on Trump, which led the New York Times to explain that Trump was blameworthy because he had stirred

00:02:24.900 anger among the public. And many other publications, of course, had the same basic take.

00:02:30.240 Now, obviously, blaming Trump for his own attempted assassination was always demented. But we were

00:02:36.400 supposed to believe that it was acceptable to blame Trump, at least in part, because he's such

00:02:40.540 a polarizing figure. The left insists that they aren't always this bloodthirsty. They said that they

00:02:45.860 didn't want to see every single one of their enemies get murdered in public live on national

00:02:50.540 television. Instead, they said that they just wanted to see Donald Trump get murdered in public 0.68

00:02:54.340 because he's basically Hitler. And Hitler is a special case. Once Hitler's out of the way, 0.99

00:02:59.320 they said, then they'd return to being normal, functioning citizens who don't want to murder

00:03:03.080 their enemies in cold blood all the time. Now, this is a defense that was never believable. But

00:03:09.760 after the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in Manhattan this week,

00:03:14.240 even the left is completely abandoning the whole pretense. If anything, the left seems to be gloating

00:03:20.840 over the execution of Thompson even more than the Trump assassination attempt. It's not an exaggeration

00:03:26.320 to say that, you know, we've never seen anything quite like this. They are declaring without any

00:03:31.700 hint of reservation that it's open season on anyone they don't like. They are gleefully celebrating the

00:03:37.580 horrific demise of another human being. Whether you're a politician or a business executive,

00:03:43.560 it doesn't matter. They don't want you fired. They don't want you in prison. They want you dead.

00:03:47.860 And they're being very clear about it now. Former Washington Post journalist Taylor Lorenz 0.92

00:03:52.380 couldn't have been any more explicit about this. She posted an article on her newsletter entitled,

00:03:56.900 Yes, We Want Insurance Executives Dead. She also posted an image of party balloons with the

00:04:02.340 celebratory caption, CEO down. And she wrote that while people should murder these executives, 0.95

00:04:07.820 it's normal to wish death upon them. Now, separately, in response to a news article about

00:04:12.360 how Blue Cross Blue Shield recently announced that it won't pay for anesthesia past a certain point,

00:04:17.460 Lorenz wrote, quote, and people wonder why we want these executives dead.

00:04:22.240 She also posted the name and picture of the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield, effectively suggesting

00:04:26.440 that someone should assassinate her. I mean, there's really no other way to interpret it.

00:04:30.300 This is the same woman who says you're a psychopath if you go outside without a mask and

00:04:34.840 raw dog the air, quote, unquote. But wishing death on healthcare executives is, you know, 0.97

00:04:40.540 completely fine, completely normal stuff. Now, I could spend the next month going through all

00:04:44.600 the reactions like this from the left. It's been relentless. Suffice it to say, this kind of response

00:04:50.820 was not unusual. It's very much par for the course. For example, Columbia University professor

00:04:56.560 Anthony Zenkis, who apparently specializes in the field of social work, wrote, quote,

00:05:02.260 Today we mourn the death of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Gunned down. Wait, I'm sorry.

00:05:07.460 Today we mourn the deaths of 68,000 Americans who needlessly die each year so that insurance

00:05:11.220 company execs like Brian Thompson can become multimillionaires. Then there was this response

00:05:16.000 from somebody named Angie who said that the murder of the CEO had made her feel reinvigorated.

00:05:22.400 I don't know about y'all, but today I feel so reinvigorated. Class consciousness is on the rise

00:05:28.840 today. I haven't had hope like this in a long time. Here's the thing. They are so good at keeping

00:05:36.480 us divided because people who are divided are easier to control. So they manufacture all these

00:05:42.400 differences between us to make us hate each other and fight with each other so that we don't realize

00:05:47.780 our collective fight is actually against the elites, that it's a class war that we're actually in the

00:05:54.200 midst of the working class against the elite. Based off all the videos I'm seeing, based off the comment

00:06:00.040 sections, based off the general consensus as a united front, we all feel the same. We all feel the same

00:06:10.860 and we're all agreeing. Do you know how hard it is to get the American people to come together and

00:06:17.020 agree on something? God, imagine if we put our powers together to actually fight against our real

00:06:24.220 enemy. I have hope today. Maybe it's naive, but I have hope.

00:06:32.600 So these people are euphoric over the murder of a man with a family, supposedly because they're not

00:06:37.860 happy with his company's insurance coverage, even though most of these people know absolutely

00:06:41.080 nothing about them. They hadn't even heard of the company until this happened. But they've been told

00:06:46.240 by other people on TikTok that they should be happy the guy's dead, and so they are. Because on top of

00:06:50.660 being sociopaths, they are just brainless sheep. But now, like Taylor Renz, they're turning their 1.00

00:06:56.580 attention and their threats towards other CEOs. And it appears to be working. Within hours of the online

00:07:01.860 campaign to harass and threaten the CEO of Blue Cross Blue Shield, the company announced a reversal of its

00:07:06.220 planned policy on anesthesia coverage. They now say they're going to halt their proposed limits on

00:07:10.840 coverage for anesthesia during surgery. The company put out a statement reading, quote,

00:07:15.060 there's been a significant widespread misinformation about an update to our anesthesia policy. As a result,

00:07:19.000 we've decided to not proceed with this policy change. To be clear, it never was and never will be the

00:07:23.240 policy of Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield to not pay for medically necessary anesthesia services.

00:07:28.440 The proposed update to the policy was only designed to clarify the appropriateness of anesthesia

00:07:32.140 consistent with well-established clinical guidelines. Now, on the surface, this looks like a victory for

00:07:38.100 the assassin and its supporters. The assassin kills one insurance company CEO. The next day,

00:07:42.000 an insurance company rescinds its plan to limit coverage. It's the kind of thing that seems like

00:07:46.780 a major victory if you have no idea how the health insurance industry actually works. The catch is that

00:07:52.780 as a result of this reversal, anesthesiologists no longer have any incentives to stop overbilling,

00:07:59.160 which has been a major problem in their field in recent years. Blue Cross Blue Shield,

00:08:02.980 along with other insurance companies, was trying to force anesthesiologists to accept the standard

00:08:08.320 per-procedure Medicare rate for their services. Anesthesiologists hated that idea because they'd

00:08:13.100 prefer to keep charging high rates for hours that they weren't even working. And now, because of a

00:08:17.300 harassment campaign by left-wing activists in the wake of a CEO's murder, these anesthesiologists have

00:08:22.400 won. In other words, the same people who complain that health care costs are too high

00:08:26.960 might have just made it a lot easier for anesthesiologists to jack up health care costs 0.68

00:08:32.220 even further. It's a development that underscores the complexity of the situation.

00:08:39.400 You know, there are plenty of nuances that are lost when you're reenacting the French Revolution

00:08:43.900 and murdering people in the street instead of discussing complicated issues like reasonable

00:08:49.160 people are supposed to do in this democracy that the left told us was so important.

00:08:54.140 Now, to be clear, there's certainly evidence that companies like UnitedHealthcare are becoming

00:08:58.540 much more aggressive in denying certain kinds of claims. A Senate report from this year,

00:09:02.060 for example, found that, quote, in 2019, UnitedHealthcare issued an initial denial to 8.7%

00:09:07.060 of the post-acute care prior authorization requests it received. By 2022, it denied 22.7% of all such

00:09:13.520 requests, an increase of 172%. Its 2022 denial rate for skilled nursing facilities was nine times higher

00:09:21.000 than it was three years before. The Democrat-led Senate committee concluded that Medicare Advantage

00:09:26.500 insurers are intentionally targeting a costly but critical area of medicine, substituting judgment

00:09:31.540 about medical necessity with a calculation about financial gain. Now, what the report doesn't mention

00:09:36.840 is that UnitedHealthcare has profit margins of around 6%. After tax, it's really under 4%.

00:09:42.040 And that means that as a matter of basic finance, they're not driving up profits to some ridiculous

00:09:47.400 degree. Like any business, they have a lot of operating costs. They assume risks. If they

00:09:51.220 started approving every claim, they go out of business overnight, of course. The other important

00:09:55.520 element here that Democrats overlook, for obvious reasons, is that Democrats are the ones who implemented

00:10:01.380 coverage mandates, which inevitably raised the price of insurance for everybody. We saw that

00:10:05.240 immediately after Obamacare, which was supposedly to lower everyone's premiums. In reality, it increased

00:10:09.980 them dramatically. Now, the point I'm making here is not that UnitedHealthcare is blameless or that

00:10:18.600 the insurance industry in general shouldn't be criticized or that the CEO that was just killed is

00:10:25.180 some kind of saint. I have no idea what kind of guy he is. I mean, he could be the very face of evil

00:10:28.920 or he could be a decent guy or he could be somewhere in between. I have no clue. What I'm saying is that

00:10:34.540 there are no open and shut, clear-cut solutions to this problem. Any kind of solution requires real

00:10:40.460 debate and discussion and trade-offs, okay? And murdering executives in the street is not the way

00:10:48.580 to bring that about. I mean, what do you know? Okay, when you've got a really complicated issue like

00:10:53.200 healthcare costs, you're not going to solve that by just killing somebody, okay? It will not make

00:10:59.440 anything better. Not a single thing will be made better. And that should make you wonder why exactly

00:11:05.100 the left is so supportive of Brian Thompson's murder. If they don't actually care about fixing the health

00:11:10.080 insurance industry, which they don't, then what do they care about? It'd be one thing if these left-wing 0.67

00:11:17.180 activists had the view that sometimes when things get bad enough, an assassin needs to step up and take

00:11:24.060 someone out for the good of the community. Now, I'm not endorsing that view, obviously, but at least there's a

00:11:29.240 kind of moral coherence to that, okay? If they really believed that UnitedHealthcare is essentially

00:11:35.400 murdering people and profiting from unspeakable moral evils, then you can see why some of these

00:11:40.400 depraved leftists might get excited by the prospect of eliminating one of the company's executives. But 0.97

00:11:44.620 any semblance of coherence goes out the window the moment you zoom out 100 feet and you look at how

00:11:52.820 these same activists are reacting to the trial of Daniel Penny. Now, if these people really thought

00:11:59.380 that it's good and righteous to eliminate a clear and present danger to the community as they do with

00:12:05.460 the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, which they say is a danger to the community, then why exactly do they

00:12:10.880 have any objection to what Daniel Penny did? Why did they storm the subways in protest after Jordan

00:12:16.760 Neely's death chanting, no justice, no peace? Why have they been outside the courthouse for every

00:12:21.380 day of deliberations, pressuring the jurors to convict? Why isn't Taylor Lorenz writing articles

00:12:26.820 about how it's normal to be happy that Jordan Neely is dead? Why isn't that article? It's normal to be

00:12:33.260 happy when a violent, psychotic hobo is dead. Why didn't she write that article? 0.99

00:12:39.700 Why aren't the Columbia professors telling us not to mourn his death?

00:12:42.860 Now, even if we assume that Daniel Penny actually murdered Jordan Neely, which is not true,

00:12:50.740 but just for the sake of argument, by their logic, what would be the objection? I mean,

00:12:55.620 even if you pretend that Daniel Penny put a silencer on a pistol, waited until 6 a.m. when Jordan Neely

00:13:00.740 started walking into a Hilton hotel and then shot him in the back, why exactly would the leftists be

00:13:07.220 upset about that? Shouldn't they celebrate that? I mean, there's no way to dispute that Jordan Neely

00:13:12.200 was a menace to the community. He violently assaulted multiple people, including women

00:13:15.560 who were just trying to take a ride on the subway. He was threatening an entire subway car full of

00:13:22.660 innocent passengers the day he died. Yeah, he was also a Michael Jackson impersonator, supposedly,

00:13:28.680 but on top of that, he was an abuser of women and others. He was, in every respect, a net negative 0.91

00:13:35.400 on society, a clear threat to the safety and well-being of the working class. So why exactly 1.00

00:13:42.040 is anyone on the left upset that Daniel Penny took action to eliminate the threat posed by Jordan Neely

00:13:47.000 while they're busy swooning over the assassin of the United Healthcare CEO in Manhattan? How does that

00:13:53.020 work? Well, there's really only one way to make sense of it. In their world, Jordan Neely,

00:14:00.360 as a black drug addict criminal, has a life of greater value than a white male health insurance 0.99

00:14:07.560 CEO. Nobody wants to say that out loud, but it's true. If Brian Thompson had been the CEO of the 0.99

00:14:14.440 same company, everything's the same, but he was a black woman, you would not be seeing any of the 1.00

00:14:21.120 gloating and celebration. You'd probably be seeing the opposite. In fact, that the Washington Post would

00:14:24.200 be working overtime to find the assassin and dox everyone in his family. They'd rehire Taylor Lorenz and

00:14:29.880 have her track down the white supremacist killer along with every single social media post he's

00:14:34.740 made since he was in kindergarten. They probably solved the case in about 10 minutes. But as it

00:14:39.980 stands, his victim happened to fit in a demographic profile of a greedy subhuman colonizer. In other 0.80

00:14:46.420 words, he was white. Didn't even matter to them that this CEO was probably liberal. His company's

00:14:52.440 PAC certainly donated a lot of money to Kamala Harris. That wasn't important to them. So

00:14:58.120 what we're left with is murderous, unrestrained, anti-white race hatred under the guise of concern 0.99

00:15:05.840 about health insurance costs. A problem that none of these people actually have any interest in 0.92

00:15:10.780 fixing because all they do when they're in power is make insurance premiums higher.

00:15:15.820 Their primary interest is destabilizing the country by dehumanizing as many white people as 0.96

00:15:21.300 possible. And if that means killing some of them, so be it. In fact, that's just a bonus. 1.00

00:15:25.280 That explains the response to what happened in Butler and explains the response to what just

00:15:29.980 happened in Midtown Manhattan in front of the Hilton Hotel. If you're a white conservative Christian

00:15:34.540 and you think that these people wouldn't gloat the same exact way if you were murdered while you were

00:15:41.040 on your way to work, then you have no idea what the left is capable of or what they really believe.

00:15:46.620 Now, at this point, we don't know why exactly Brian Thompson was executed, but we do know

00:15:52.480 why exactly these ghouls are celebrating his assassin, even as they demonize men like Daniel Penny.

00:15:59.740 Pay attention to what they're saying. Spend some time reading their euphoric posts on social media.

00:16:06.540 And soon enough, you'll find that even if you're not the CEO of a major health insurance company,

00:16:10.940 they will have no problem coming for you next. Let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:23.740 You know what's interesting about the current state of health and wellness? Everyone's chasing

00:16:27.880 the latest trend, the newest fad, the most exotic supplement, but sometimes the most powerful

00:16:31.860 solutions are the most fundamental ones. That's why I want to tell you about Armra Colostrum.

00:17:56.940 Google recently settled a $5 billion lawsuit after being accused of secretly tracking users

00:18:01.380 in incognito mode. Google's defense, they said incognito mode does not mean invisible. In fact,

00:19:21.720 All right, we'll start with more on Daniel Penny. The New York Post has a support. Jordan Neely's

00:19:27.080 father is suing Daniel Penny over his son's chokehold death on a New York City subway car as the jury

00:19:33.120 still deliberates whether to convict Penny of manslaughter. In fact, the latest I just saw,

00:19:39.280 as I'm saying this right now, the latest is that it looks like we're headed towards a hung jury.

00:19:48.280 That might change, but that's just right before we started recording. That's what I saw.

00:19:52.120 Well, but back to the lawsuit, it says, the suit filed in New York City, New York Supreme Court on

00:19:57.980 Wednesday, accuses the Long Island Marine veteran of negligent contact, assault, and battery that

00:20:02.940 caused injuries and Neely's death last year. Neely's father, Andre Zachary, demands judgment,

00:20:09.300 awarding damages, and a sum which exceeds the jurisdictional limits of all lower courts which

00:20:13.100 would otherwise have jurisdiction, according to the lawsuit. It was filed yesterday, Wednesday,

00:20:18.120 as jurors and Penny's four-week-long Manhattan trial broke for a second time without reaching a

00:20:22.420 verdict. Okay, so Daniel Penny obviously has bigger fish to fry at the moment, but if he's acquitted or

00:20:30.000 there's a hung jury or something, God willing, I'd love to see him respond to this lawsuit by

00:20:38.180 counter-suing. Counter-sue the father, Andre Zachary, for being a terrible father who failed

00:20:45.120 to raise his son and allowed him to become a homeless, violent junkie. That's what I'd like 0.60

00:20:50.900 to see. Now, we're obviously used to seeing this sort of thing when you have these racial martyrs

00:20:58.740 and suddenly the family comes out of the woodwork. Family members that, by all accounts, were not

00:21:03.500 involved in the person's life, didn't care, didn't give a damn. Suddenly, they're weeping and wailing

00:21:09.120 on TV. Suddenly, they care about the person who they never did anything for when they were alive.

00:21:14.740 You know, we're very used to seeing this, but in this case, it's all the more egregious

00:21:17.840 because Neely was homeless before he died. He was a drug-addled hobo screaming incoherently

00:21:24.520 on the subway. That is a direct indictment of his father. His father left him to wallow away as a 0.99

00:21:31.120 homeless lunatic, just left him to die on the street, and now he wants to cash in. 0.52

00:21:39.200 Now, if Neely had just died, overdosed on the street corner somewhere, I doubt his father would 0.87

00:21:44.840 even go to the funeral, you have to wonder. Now, you know, there's an article, a very long article

00:21:51.780 about Jordan Neely's life and backstory in New York Magazine, and the article tells us that Neely's dad,

00:21:58.940 Andre Zachary, had been in a volatile on-again, off-again relationship with his mom.

00:22:06.100 Big surprise. And it says that he would, quote, waste his money and sleep around. That's the father.

00:22:13.240 Eventually, Neely's mom apparently was murdered. And at that point, Zachary was not part of his son's

00:22:20.620 life at all. The article says that Neely went to go live with his dad when he was 18, when Neely was 18.

00:22:27.620 But his dad apparently denies this detail. But it says in the article that Neely, at the time,

00:22:33.660 was a Michael Jackson impersonator. He was doing these performances. And his dad asked Neely to give

00:22:42.340 him some of the proceeds from his Michael Jackson performances. And they got into a big fight.

00:22:48.020 And a year later, Neely was staying at a homeless shelter at the age of 19.

00:22:54.140 And now that same guy, this deadbeat, wants to cash in on his son's death, a death that almost

00:23:00.140 certainly could have been avoided if he, the father, had actually cared for his son and had been involved

00:23:05.980 in his son's life and raised him. Okay? It's not that hard to avoid. I mean,

00:23:12.040 you can't guarantee it. I mean, even with great parenting, you can't guarantee your kids are

00:23:18.080 going to turn out well. It's technically possible that you could be a great parent and a very involved

00:23:22.660 parent and your child still ends up being, you know, a druggie on a street corner. But it's very

00:23:29.700 unlikely. And with my own sons, I'm, there's plenty of things I worry about, you know, in general with my

00:23:37.740 kids. I'm not worried that in the not too distant future, any of my kids are going to be on a subway

00:23:46.980 somewhere, drugged out of their minds and screaming random threats. Like I'm, I feel very, very confident

00:23:55.160 that's just not going to happen because I'm, I'm their father and I'm there and I'm raising them and

00:24:02.260 their mom is raising them. So if that happens with your kid, it almost certainly means that you have

00:24:09.120 failed as a parent, just spectacularly failed. You've, you've failed in every way. You know,

00:24:16.680 you, you did not do even a little bit of the job that you're supposed to be doing. And the thing is,

00:24:23.500 by the way, I don't think that Neely's father is, is necessarily pretending to be upset that his son

00:24:29.260 died. I would hope that he's actually upset. I would assume that even if you're a bad father who

00:24:34.240 didn't care for your son, you know, you should still be sad that he died. If you're a human being

00:24:38.660 at all, you'd be sad. So his emotions are, you know, maybe for the most part genuine, but whatever

00:24:45.460 anger he feels should be directed at himself, not Daniel Penny. In fact, Daniel Penny, Daniel Penny is

00:24:50.880 the one who should be angry for a lot of things and at a lot of people, but probably most, mostly at this

00:24:57.900 guy at, at the dead, you didn't do your job, dad. So Daniel Penny had to step up and do it for you.

00:25:04.280 You know, that's, that's the thing. Um, if you don't want your kid to potentially, um, end up dead

00:25:12.440 on a subway after a struggle with, uh, with someone who had to restrain them, uh, you know, then just

00:25:18.560 make sure your, your kid doesn't become a drug addled, violent hobo. You know, it's, it's, uh,

00:25:27.480 not that hard. Okay. Here's a article from Politico says president Joe Biden's senior aides

00:25:35.620 are conducting a vigorous internal debate over whether to issue preemptive pardons to a range

00:25:40.020 of current and former public officials who could be targeted with president elect Donald Trump's

00:25:44.120 return to the white house. According to senior Democrats familiar with discussions,

00:25:46.940 Biden's aides are deeply concerned about a range of current and former officials who could find

00:25:50.880 themselves facing inquiries and even indictments. Um, the white house officials, however, are carefully

00:25:55.480 weighing the extraordinary step of handing out blanket pardons to those who have committed a crime,

00:25:58.920 both because it could suggest impropriety only fueling Trump's criticism and because, uh, those

00:26:03.700 offered preemptive pardons may reject them, but they've looked at Liz Cheney, Adam Schiff and others

00:26:08.480 as people that, uh, uh, Anthony Fauci getting preemptive pardons, um, on the way out to the door. So we could be

00:26:16.420 looking at a pardoning spree unlike anything the world's ever seen, uh, or at least that this

00:26:19.740 country's ever seen. And we've seen some pretty extraordinary pardoning sprees, by the way,

00:26:23.100 from presidents in the past, but, um, it looks like Biden's probably about to do something that

00:26:27.820 dwarfs all of that. He already started obviously. And that brings up an interesting question about,

00:26:33.380 you know, whether the pardon power should even exist. Uh, Biden has, has already abused the power to

00:26:40.300 an extreme degree. He's about to abuse it even more. It seems like, is the answer that the power

00:26:45.580 just shouldn't exist at all? Is this just a thing that nobody should be able to do as president?

00:26:50.260 Now, if you're a libertarian minded person, you would say, uh, no, it shouldn't exist, right? This,

00:26:56.440 this is not a monarchy. Presidents are not Kings. It's crazy to give one guy the power to just wave

00:27:01.120 his magic wand and pardon anyone he wants for any reason he wants. Why should he have that power?

00:27:06.900 Why should the president be empowered to just point at any random person and say, nope,

00:27:10.500 they don't get that, you know, they can't go to jail, not them. Um, it's crazy. It's a power that

00:27:16.140 can only be abused because it's inherently undemocratic and authoritarian. It's a holdover

00:27:20.540 from a, from a monarchic system that we fought a war to overthrow in this country. And so it

00:27:25.940 shouldn't exist. That that's the libertarian view, right? I'm, I'm expressing the libert,

00:27:29.180 kind of the, what we might call the libertarian view of this. On the other hand, you know, uh, if

00:27:34.380 you're, let's say Michael Knowles, you would, you would say that monarchy isn't a bad word.

00:27:38.340 And just because something is, uh, monarchic, it doesn't make it bad. And besides you'd argue

00:27:43.040 the pardon power is a last line of defense against injustice. For example, we're all hoping that

00:27:48.860 Trump pardons many of the J sixers, uh, even more, I'm hoping he pardons pro-lifers who were 1.00

00:27:54.480 persecuted by Biden. And if presidents can't pardon, then those people would be doomed. They would have

00:28:00.240 no hope. So you could argue that the pardon power may be used in unjust ways sometimes, but it can also

00:28:05.600 be a tool to remedy injustices. So those are the two arguments I hear. And I think there's

00:28:11.140 credibility to both of them. My view is maybe a bit in between these two. Uh, I certainly wouldn't

00:28:17.080 support abolishing the pardon now, which I assume would take a constitutional amendment anyway,

00:28:22.360 which isn't going to happen, but I wouldn't support it because Trump has to be able to use

00:28:27.460 it for the reasons I just said, and to address and undo many other cases where Biden persecuted,

00:28:32.440 uh, and targeted, uh, and targeted his political enemies. But I do think there are some problems

00:28:36.020 inherent to the system, uh, the, the system where, where one dude wields the power to let anyone out

00:28:42.080 of jail just by decreeing it, as long as they committed a federal crime or, or were accused of

00:28:47.420 one or not even accused, but as long as they may have theoretically. The problem though, is the same

00:28:53.940 one we find in many other areas of government. You know, you know, there's that, that famous quote

00:28:59.260 you hear all the time from, um, uh, from, I think from John Adams, who said that our constitution

00:29:05.180 was made for a moral and religious people and is inadequate to the governing of any other kind of 0.99

00:29:11.480 people. And we're finding out why he said that and what exactly makes, you know, our system inadequate

00:29:17.900 in that scenario. And this applies not just to the people, but also to those in power. In other words,

00:29:23.020 the problem with the presidential pardon is that it was conceived and instated by moral,

00:29:29.320 dignified, religious men. And as long as men like that have that power, there are certain lines they

00:29:35.100 just won't cross. It doesn't mean it won't be abused, but there are just certain things they

00:29:38.180 wouldn't do. But what happens when you, when you're governed by undignified, shameless, power-mad 0.86

00:29:43.900 nihilists? Well, then the pardoning power becomes a problem. And, uh, and that's where we are. 0.84

00:29:50.460 So that's, that's how we ended up here, I think. All right. Daily Wire has a support. CNN devoted

00:29:56.940 multiple segments on Thursday to coverage of a Washington Post report about president-elect

00:30:01.120 Donald Trump's defense secretary nominee, Pete Hegseth, criticizing him for drinking beer during

00:30:05.780 a Fox and Friends segment about St. Patrick's Day. The story came just as NBC News ran a hit piece

00:30:10.880 citing a number of anonymous sources, but apparently not bothering to speak to his former co-hosts and

00:30:15.520 colleagues at Fox News, accusing Hegseth of drinking to excess on a regular basis.

00:30:18.700 Um, and the article points out that, you know, uh, uh, uh, over on CNN for their New Year's Eve

00:30:27.740 coverage, they get totally plastered. I mean, they, they get, you get Anderson Cooper and

00:30:32.460 his co-hosts get, get annihilated on, on camera. And that apparently isn't a problem. Um, so this is

00:30:41.680 the latest allegation against Pete Hegseth, um, that, uh, that they're, they're hitting him for

00:30:46.800 drinking, you know, to excess, allegedly drinking on air. Here's one of those CNN segments. Watch.

00:30:53.500 Development as Pete Hegseth fights to hold on to his nomination for defense secretary.

00:30:58.640 He arrived on Capitol Hill just a short time ago. As new reporting from the Washington Post cites

00:31:05.200 six former Fox News employees who say they witnessed Hegseth drinking at questionable moments. They say

00:31:10.680 Hegseth, quote, had a reputation as a heavy drinker, and they say they saw him, quote, drinking on the

00:31:16.600 job or visibly drunk at work events. CNN has learned that Hegseth has faced questions from senators,

00:31:22.560 including, are you an alcoholic? Are you a womanizer? And did you embezzle money? 0.76

00:31:31.100 Um, so drinking at questionable moments on air for a St. Patrick's Day segment, um, is, is what

00:31:37.540 happened. But, but this is, this has been the new, the new scandal. Leftists are all over it. Uh, very,

00:31:42.760 very, you know, very, uh, scandalized by Pete Hegseth drinking alcohol. There was also this tweet from

00:31:49.160 an account called Decoding Fox News. It says, some anonymous sources at Fox News claim Pete Hegseth

00:31:53.540 sometimes drinks alcohol while working. He openly drank Tennessee whiskey while filming a, the war on

00:31:59.260 warriors for Fox Nation. I provide receipts. She has the receipts. She's dug up the secret footage of a

00:32:07.520 segment that was filmed and aired. Uh, Pete apparently filmed an interview with some other veterans and they

00:32:16.180 sat around and talked and drank whiskey, Tennessee whiskey of all things. It's important to add that

00:32:20.960 in there. Tennessee, not, I mean, if he had, if they drank, uh, uh, you know, Irish whiskey or something,

00:32:26.020 maybe it'd be one thing, but Tennessee whiskey. So this is supposed to be very scandalous. Let's

00:32:30.720 actually watch, here's the receipt. Here's the receipt of this, uh, of this very dark and depraved

00:32:35.540 moment. Let's watch it. Keep going. Keep going. We're good. You got it. Well, thank you guys for

00:32:45.400 making the trip. Cheers. Cheers to you guys. Cheers to warriors. Appreciate you. Cheers. Thank

00:32:51.000 you, sir. Welcome to a special edition of modern warriors war on warriors. We are all here at an

00:32:59.040 undisclosed location outside of Nashville, Tennessee to talk about these concerns over

00:33:04.420 some Tennessee whiskey with real warriors. Wow. Pretty horrifying stuff. Uh, drinking on the job

00:33:14.180 is horrible. Nevermind the fact that everybody used to drink on the job. I mean, you know, I mean,

00:33:20.840 to get all bent out of shape about drinking in general is kind of hilarious considering that

00:33:24.540 like every great leader and great man in history drank. So this idea that, well, he can't be defense

00:33:31.040 secretary. Uh, he, he drinks. Oh, you mean like everyone ever who's been in any position of

00:33:39.540 leadership for like 10,000 years? Uh, this was a normal part of the culture, like of pretty much

00:33:45.980 every culture until recently. I mean, it's still a lot of people drink, but your grandfather was

00:33:51.640 drinking whiskey at 1 PM on work days. Okay. And the world functioned pretty well back then.

00:33:57.640 Pretty well. I mean, the, the, the world, the, the, uh, civilization, the society that brought us

00:34:04.520 from horse and buggy to the moon in the span of 60 or 70 years, all those people were drinking

00:34:11.300 whiskey in, in, in the afternoon. Okay. Um, so, uh, but nevermind that, you know, but drinking on

00:34:20.760 the job is terrible. Drinking on air is especially terrible, but I have to tell you, I do have to

00:34:25.040 reveal this. Uh, this is a widespread problem actually drinking on air. In fact, um, you weren't

00:34:32.240 expecting this, but I'm going to be a whistleblower right now. This is me turning whistleblower, uh,

00:34:37.960 here at the daily wire. And, uh, cause I'll tell you that here at the daily wire, we, there are

00:34:43.340 people here who drink on air. Okay. I'm not going to mention any names, but there are people,

00:34:49.100 people who are certainly not qualified to be defense secretary. It turns out due to their rampant

00:34:54.580 on air drinking. So let me show you this. Uh, here's secret footage, uh, that I've captured of

00:34:59.760 a daily wire backstage episode. It's just the most recent one. And I want you to, and you won't be

00:35:05.360 able to see this, but you have to watch the video. So if you're listening to the audio podcast, you

00:35:09.480 get to watch the video, but look at what you see in the foreground. This is pretty disturbing. Watch

00:35:14.080 this. You hear people talk about it, kind of taking it for granted, not, not, not approaching it with

00:35:20.060 the, not just the reverence, but the fascination that I think these books deserve. There also is this

00:35:25.240 problem we have in modernity, which is we clearly took a wrong exit at some point. And you see that

00:35:30.700 all around us. But if you take a wrong exit and you go 500 miles down the road, you don't just get

00:35:37.140 to tell it. So there you see it. That was, uh, that was daily wire host, Michael Knowles. And you

00:35:44.680 notice the bottles of whiskey in front of multiple bottles of whiskey in front of him. And I can tell you

00:35:51.020 that Michael Knowles drank during that backstage episode. He drank, he was drinking. He drinks

00:35:57.420 during all of them. And he smokes alcohol and tobacco on air while children could be watching.

00:36:04.700 It's objectionable, incredibly. Now I know you might be thinking, you might be thinking,

00:36:09.120 wait a minute, Matt, don't you also drink during every backstage episode? Don't you arguably drink

00:36:14.940 more than any of them during back? You'll see, you'll see me with a whiskey glass consuming a

00:36:21.580 brown ish liquid. That's not whiskey. That's apple juice. Um, I always tell them, anyone here can tell

00:36:28.060 you I'm all about apple juice. And so before we started, I said, bring me my, bring me my nice

00:36:32.240 apple juice. I give me a nice apple juice to sip on for this. And so that's how I relax. I relax with

00:36:37.600 a bit of apple juice, big apple juice guy. Uh, but I object to the alcohol consumption. I tell him

00:36:42.940 all the time. I say, fellas, this is not, this is not right. This, you know, we, this, this is a bad

00:36:49.200 example. I say it. That's what I say. I do. I promise. So pretty, pretty terrible stuff. Um,

00:36:58.760 all joking aside for a moment, uh, I would just move on from there, but I do have to say,

00:37:04.300 I can't just leave it there because, um, you got to hold the line here. This, this is, this has to be,

00:37:11.220 you draw a line here. I mean, with, with Pete Hegseth, because we can, these scandals that they

00:37:16.660 keep pulling up, uh, they're either obviously totally bogus, you know, the rape claims.

00:37:22.380 And you notice how they've moved on from that, by the way. Okay. Let's talk about that for a moment.

00:37:27.900 If the left actually believed that the rape claim that was made, then they wouldn't be moving on to

00:37:35.460 digging up videos of Pete Hegseth, you know, having a sip of whiskey with his military buddies. Okay.

00:37:39.900 You wouldn't move on to that. If you actually thought the guy was a rapist. Okay. If you 0.81

00:37:44.700 believe the story that he, I guess, uh, coaxed some woman up to his hotel room, wouldn't let her, 0.94

00:37:51.260 kidnapped her. That means he's guilty. I mean, if, if it was true, what he was accused of,

00:37:56.460 then he should be in prison for the rest of his life. This is like kidnapping. This is a assault,

00:38:02.400 rape. I mean, it's all these things. So if you really believe that you wouldn't now be

00:38:07.240 talking about, Oh, he liked, he said he drank some whiskey during a, you know, or, or had a beer on

00:38:13.300 a St. Patrick's day segment. Um, so the fact that you're getting this kind of like machine gun fire

00:38:21.200 of these fake scandals, it, it shows you that part of it is like, they're trying to flood the zone.

00:38:25.900 And, um, but why do they do that? It's because they know that, that none of them mean anything.

00:38:31.480 They know that either they're totally made in and made up and bogus or the scandals are not scandals.

00:38:38.880 It's just nothing. It's ridiculous. Um, and that's what you do. That's what, when you don't have, 0.98

00:38:45.400 if you've got real dirt on somebody, if you've got something real, something serious, something that

00:38:50.880 could really destroy them, then you put that out there and you just hammer that constantly. Uh,

00:38:58.060 what you don't do if you have real dirt is just dump a bunch of other dirt on top of it, uh, or

00:39:05.400 stuff that isn't even dirt, but like, so that, so that, so that the one thing you have gets buried

00:39:08.880 under all the other nonsense. When you see them start using this tactic, uh, that's how you know

00:39:16.860 that they really got nothing. And which is why Republicans, uh, absolutely need to pull the line

00:39:24.900 on this. Um, and, uh, this, this just makes it all the more important that Pete Exeth is confirmed.

00:39:35.260 I mean, you, you cannot let this kind of tactic win. And I'll tell you one thing that if it does,

00:39:43.180 you know, if the left does win on this, if this does prove successful, that's a very,

00:39:46.860 very bad sign for the next two years, because we need Republicans. You've got two years,

00:39:53.020 you've got only two years that you can be sure of and probably will only be two years because,

00:39:57.820 you know, historic in recent history, uh, midterm elections usually don't go very well for the

00:40:03.020 party in power. So, um, you can only count on two years. You've got two years to advance your agenda.

00:40:08.960 You've got two years to push through the policies and everything else that you ran on,

00:40:12.280 that Trump ran on, that all these Republicans ran on. Um, and you're going to have to do it,

00:40:17.660 obviously over the objection of leftists. They're going to be crying and whining about it the whole

00:40:23.180 time. They're going to try to make every single thing you do into a major scandal. 0.84

00:40:25.860 And so if Republicans start off by caving and not holding the line on Pete Hegseth,

00:40:37.160 then that, that's, that's a very bad precedent going forward. So this, this has to be a deal

00:40:42.960 breaker. It just has to be. Let's talk about something that keeps business owners up at night,

00:40:47.380 managing finances. If your current system feels about as useful as a chocolate teapot, well,

00:40:51.280 I've got solution that'll make you wonder how you ever lived without it. It's called ramp ramp

00:40:55.540 is a corporate card and spend management software designed to help you save time and put money back

00:42:09.540 Yesterday we talked pretty extensively about the Supreme court case stemming from our law in

00:42:20.220 Tennessee, banning child gender transitions. And we discussed the pro trans, uh, as we discussed

00:42:25.300 the pro trans side fell apart during the hearing. They were forced to concede major points that until

00:42:31.160 that moment had been central to their argument. They had to admit that transitioning doesn't prevent

00:42:35.580 suicides. They had to admit that transgenderism is not an immutable characteristic, which means that 0.98

00:42:39.520 the law cannot be discriminating based on an immutable characteristic as they had claimed.

00:42:43.860 Uh, they also admitted that cross-sex hormones can cause infertility and they admitted that people 0.92

00:42:47.980 regret gender transition procedures. These are all things that the Biden administration and the ACLU

00:42:52.640 admitted during oral arguments while trying to argue against the law, banning these procedures. So

00:42:57.300 their whole case was destroyed and it was destroyed by their own hand. That was the action

00:43:02.480 inside outside. It was no better. As you saw, we showed up to rally together outside the Supreme

00:43:07.820 court, but the other side showed up to, uh, to try to drown us out. They had their own rally,

00:43:11.740 which was set up right next to ours. There was one moment from their rally that I initially missed

00:43:16.160 and, uh, it was, it's, it's worth playing now. I think it's disgusting a little bit because it's

00:43:20.960 another moment where the so-called trans rights side collapsed in on itself just by talking.

00:43:27.000 So here is the actress, Annette Benning, who apparently came to this rally and was there to

00:43:33.300 talk about her, uh, quote unquote, trans child. Watch. 0.99

00:43:38.660 I think the greatest gift of my life is to have kids and to have a transgender child has made me so

00:43:48.600 much more interesting, so much more wise. And for the Supreme court justices, I encourage them

00:44:00.120 to talk to their kids, their grandkids, their nieces and nephews, because I'll bet if they really

00:44:07.120 sit down and ask them, do you know trans kids around you? Do you have any non-binary friends?

00:44:13.700 They're going to say yes. And they're going to say that this is part of the beautiful rainbow

00:44:19.900 of human beings everywhere. Pretty compelling constitutional argument there, right? For

00:44:27.380 the justices to take into consideration, the beautiful rainbow, the beautiful rainbow of human

00:44:32.520 beings. Uh, here's just a general comment though, but, um, even putting this issue aside,

00:44:37.260 if you're a Supreme court justice trying to decide the constitutionality of a law, uh, no,

00:44:42.100 do not go talk to a child about it. Okay. Don't, don't, don't go, don't go talk to your nieces

00:44:46.500 and nephews and grandchildren, no matter what the issue is. Like they don't know. Okay. I don't,

00:44:52.620 that's not who a Supreme court justice should be consulting when trying to analyze the constitutionality

00:44:58.620 of a law. Um, so anyway, there's a Annette Bening and I'm not sure I even need to say anything

00:45:06.600 about what we just heard there, but I already did. We'll continue to, uh, cause that was a classic

00:45:11.660 moment of saying the quiet part out loud. Annette Bening declares that having a trans kid has made 1.00

00:45:17.820 her more interesting. Now think about that. She didn't even say that it's made life more

00:45:23.080 interesting or that her child is interesting or anything like that. No, she said that it has made

00:45:27.440 her more interesting. According to Annette Bening, the great benefit of transitioning a child is that 0.51

00:45:34.660 it makes the parent that makes her into a more interesting person. Now there are two extremely large

00:45:40.460 problems here. Uh, first of all, it's not true. There's nothing interesting about having a quote

00:45:46.420 trans child, nothing interesting about this woman. It's not, it's not interesting that some washed up 1.00

00:45:51.420 left-wing actress has a trans kid. That's about the least interesting development imaginable. 1.00

00:45:56.740 Every washed up left-wing actress in Hollywood has a trans kid quote unquote. Now that's the trend. 0.95

00:46:02.420 There's nothing interesting about following a trend. Nobody's fascinated by it. No one's going to

00:46:06.680 hear that an actress has a trans kid and say, wow, that's a mate. How interesting. It's like me

00:46:12.380 buying a pickup truck because I think it'll make me more interesting. I like pickup trucks, but if I

00:46:17.940 have one, it just, it makes me the same as literally every other adult male in the state of Tennessee.

00:46:23.260 Okay. Now the difference of course is that pickup trucks are good. It's good to have one. Transing your 0.57

00:46:27.660 child is not good. And also of course, a pickup truck is an object. A child is not, but that's the point.

00:46:33.340 That's how these people treat their own kids. They treat their kids like, like objects, like accessories,

00:46:38.620 like fashion statements. That's the main point here. Annette Bening has revealed what should

00:46:44.760 already be obvious, which is that it's all about her. Annette Bening's child is trans because Annette

00:46:50.660 Bening is projecting her own desires and preferences and narcissism onto her child. So I've said for years

00:46:56.580 that the trans kid phenomenon is in so many cases, really Munchausen by proxy. And for those who aren't 0.71

00:47:04.520 familiar, Munchausen by proxy is when a parent or caretaker, almost always the mother, I'm not aware

00:47:09.180 of any case where it wasn't the mother, pretends that a child is sick and in many cases will actually

00:47:15.920 make the child sick. And she does all this so that she, the mother, will get attention. It's extreme

00:47:21.280 attention seeking behavior by the mother. And she's willing to do great physical and psychological

00:47:25.360 harm to her child to get the attention she desires. That's because she doesn't recognize her child as 0.97

00:47:30.180 anything but an extension of herself. Her child doesn't have a unique identity in her eyes. Her

00:47:34.420 child is not a person to her. And I believe that something very similar is happening here. Women 1.00

00:47:40.880 like Annette Bening, and again, they're almost always women, and Dwayne Wade, see their children as

00:47:47.900 mechanisms for bringing attention and praise back to themselves. They will guide or force their

00:47:54.920 children in whatever direction is necessary to achieve that aim, which is why, as gender ideology

00:48:00.360 falls out of favor culturally, you're going to find that magically, like some great scientific marvel,

00:48:06.500 all of these Hollywood leftists will discover that their children actually aren't trans anymore.

00:48:11.000 Then they'll go back to just forcing their kids to be vegans or whatever, which is not as bad,

00:48:15.060 but also not good. We should always acknowledge that there are parents whose children fall victim

00:48:23.040 to the social contagion very much against the will and guidance of the parents themselves. And I have

00:48:27.980 a lot of sympathy for those parents. But it's pretty easy to distinguish between those kinds of

00:48:33.640 parents and parents like Annette Bening. The only similarity is that in both cases, the children are

00:48:40.180 victims. In Annette Bening's case, her child is a victim of her. And that is why Annette Bening is today

00:48:49.000 canceled. That'll do it for the show today and this week. It is Friday, isn't it? Yes, it is. So I'll

00:48:54.500 talk to you on Monday. Have a great weekend. Godspeed.
