The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1512 - How DEI Is Destroying L.A.'s Fire Department

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, we'll do a deeper dive into the DEI program in the Los Angeles

00:00:04.260 Fire Department. The left insists that it has nothing to do with the catastrophe unfolding in

00:00:07.660 LA right now, but of course they're lying. Also, how many of these fires are being intentionally

00:00:11.640 set? We'll talk about that. And an OnlyFans hooker films herself propositioning a fast food worker, 1.00

00:00:17.400 humiliating herself in the process. Speaking of humiliating herself, Meghan Markle is back again 0.99

00:00:21.600 with a new TV show. The audience reception has been, shall we say, unenthused. We'll talk about

00:00:26.340 all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 Just a reminder that all of us at The Daily Wire will be live as DW goes to DC for the

00:00:57.940 inauguration of Donald Trump. Watch live and join the fight at dailywire.com slash subscribe.

00:01:02.940 History, economics, the great works of literature, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution. Did you study

00:01:07.020 these things in school? Probably not. Or even if you did, maybe it's time for a refresher. Time and

00:01:10.700 technology have changed a lot of things, but they have not changed basic fundamental truths about

00:01:15.100 the world and our place in it. That's why I'm so excited that Hillsdale College is offering more

00:01:19.500 than 40 free online courses in the most important and enduring subject. You can learn about the works

00:01:25.060 of C.S. Lewis, the stories in the book of Genesis, the meaning of the U.S. Constitution, the rise and

00:01:28.620 fall of the Roman Republic, or the history of the ancient Christian church with Hillsdale College's

00:01:31.920 online courses, all available for free. That's right, for free. I personally recommend you sign

00:01:37.200 up for Marxism, Socialism, and Communism. This brand new online course is unlike anything Hillsdale

00:01:42.240 has produced before. Over the course of six documentary-style episodes, you'll hear from

00:01:46.740 Hillsdale professors of history, politics, and economics as they look at Marx's life and writings,

00:01:51.500 the misery and brutality in the Soviet Union and the atrocities of communist China. You'll

00:01:56.540 explore how many ideas in American politics today are rooted in Marxism, and also how they

00:02:00.560 differ from Marxist thoughts as well. It's vital that we take these ideas and historical figures

00:02:05.320 seriously so that we can see the injustice and evil inherent in them and are better equipped

00:02:10.220 to defeat it. Start your free course, Marxism, Socialism, and Communism today. Right now,

00:02:16.100 you can go to hillsdale.edu slash walsh to start. It's free, easy to get started. That's

00:02:20.800 hillsdale.edu slash walsh to start. Hillsdale.edu slash walsh. There's now a very noticeable pattern

00:02:27.360 that plays out every time we witness a colossal failure on the national stage. It happened after the

00:02:32.440 Secret Service allowed Donald Trump to get shot in the head in Pennsylvania. It happened after

00:02:36.100 Harvard's president was exposed for plagiarism, after Kamala Harris lost the presidential election.

00:02:41.920 And here's how it usually goes. Conservatives pointed out that DEI was involved in some way,

00:02:46.380 and then everyone on the left acted with shock and indignation at the mere suggestion

00:02:50.800 that DEI might have backfired. DEI, they tell us, is an essential mandate that always adds value. It's

00:02:57.860 vital to every organization. And then in the same breath, they tell us that DEI can't possibly be

00:03:03.360 related to any failure by any organization or government agency that practices DEI. In other words,

00:03:08.220 DEI is either critically important, you know, fundamentally important, or not important at all,

00:03:13.820 depending on how things are going, right? As entire neighborhoods in Los Angeles are destroyed

00:03:19.320 by fires, once again, we're seeing this very familiar pattern play out. As we talked about

00:03:24.720 yesterday, conservatives have pointed out, rightly, that DEI has infected every aspect of the government

00:03:30.540 of Los Angeles, in particular its fire department. And in response, as they usually do, the left has

00:03:35.400 insisted that DEI actually has nothing whatsoever to do with the fires or the disastrous response to

00:03:40.800 them. And they're wagging their fingers at anyone who suggests otherwise, because things have gone

00:03:46.060 wrong. Therefore, DEI is now irrelevant. That's the way it goes. Rolling Stone, in particular, was upset

00:03:51.640 with my response to the wildfires and the response of others on the right. They published an article

00:03:57.460 the other day entitled, Right-wingers are Blaming the LA Fires on Diversity. Here's part of it.

00:04:02.980 Quote, climate-denying conservatives are instead blaming the devastation on California's woke policies.

00:04:07.800 Quote, Los Angeles deliberately set out to exclude white men from becoming firefighters,

00:04:12.580 and now they don't have enough firefighters to prevent their city from burning to the ground,

00:04:15.440 wrote right-wing commentator Matt Walsh in one post endorsed by Elon Musk.

00:04:19.640 DEI is a cancer that destroys everything it touches. Close quote. Now, first of all, you know,

00:04:26.900 I had to look up who wrote this article because it reads like something our PR department would come

00:04:30.720 up with. The whole article is just a series of quotes from myself, Alex Jones, Elon Musk,

00:04:35.960 Megyn Kelly, and so on. And sure enough, the author is one Nikki McCann Ramirez, who's a former

00:04:41.420 Media Matters staffer. And, you know, so she made her living doing unofficial PR for us. And now she's

00:04:50.560 gone to Rolling Stone and she's doing the same thing. She apparently found another organization

00:04:53.980 that's willing to pay her to write articles about my tweets and the tweets of other conservatives

00:04:59.380 after Elon Musk sued Media Matters into the ground. Now, the only original contribution that Nikki

00:05:04.680 Ramirez made to this article is this line of commentary at the end. It reads, quote,

00:05:09.640 there's no evidence that the fire department's push for diversity has any effect on its ability

00:05:14.240 to fight fires. It's a line that made me realize we need to do another deep dive on DEI and the Los

00:05:20.660 Angeles Fire Department because it's completely false. But of course, a lot of people on the left

00:05:25.300 are repeating it. And they're repeating this line because they think it's safe. In their minds,

00:05:29.680 it's impossible to find a smoking gun that proves DEI leads directly to failure. After all,

00:05:35.320 DEI is a bureaucratic system. And the whole point of bureaucracy is to make it impossible to assign

00:05:40.040 blame. Now, unfortunately for Rolling Stone and the rest of these activists, the leaders of the Los

00:05:45.180 Angeles Fire Department have not been subtle about their DEI policies and the impact that these policies

00:05:51.840 have on their job performance. In fact, they've actually been quite direct about it. Here's a video of

00:05:57.000 Deputy Chief Christine Larson, who's the head of the fire department's Equity and Human Resources

00:06:02.500 Bureau. And you may have seen a shortened version of this video online because it's going viral.

00:06:08.000 I found a longer, unedited version of it. And it's worth watching because it implicates both the LAPD

00:06:13.420 and the LAFD. And it also includes the context to the extent that you need it. Here it is.

00:06:20.440 The reality is, you're not one of the boys. You never will be one of the boys. But you can be

00:06:30.440 a good firefighter.

00:06:31.440 People will see you and they're like, wow, look at you. You know, they're so excited. Here's a female 0.99

00:06:41.240 Black officer. Because it's not a lot of us. You want to see somebody that responds to your house, 1.00

00:06:46.320 your emergency, whether it's a medical call or a fire call, that looks like you. It gives that person

00:06:51.280 a little bit more ease, knowing that somebody might understand their situation better. You can't

00:06:55.840 be it if you can't see it. And so that's why it's important for young girls to see women riding 1.00

00:07:01.360 around on fire trucks. Plus, it's fun.

00:07:03.520 Is she strong enough to do this? Or you couldn't carry my husband out of a fire?

00:07:12.480 Which my response is, he got himself in the wrong place if I have to carry him out of a fire.

00:07:20.720 I was the first African-American female promoted to the rank of battalion chief. With each promotion,

00:07:25.280 more eyes come on you, more scrutiny. They want to know, does she know what she's doing? Does she

00:07:29.200 keep her crew safe? You know, it looks like some kind of AI-generated parody, but it's not. So,

00:07:36.720 let's review what we just saw. The first claim from the deputy fire chief is that when you have

00:07:44.240 a medical emergency or when your house is on fire, all you care about is seeing first responders who

00:07:51.520 look like you. You don't care if they're good at their jobs. You're not worried about, you know,

00:07:56.000 whether they could do CPR or whether they can actually put out a fire or whether they can pick

00:08:01.840 you up if you're incapacitated and carry you out of a burning building. Instead, the most important

00:08:06.960 thing is the appearance of the firefighter, meaning their skin color and gender. And the LAPD sergeant

00:08:12.560 agrees with that. Now, this is not a claim that needs to be broken down and dissected in a million

00:08:17.520 different ways. I think to most sane people, the problems here are quite self-evident. But just for

00:08:25.360 fun, let's analyze this a little bit. First of all, let's assume this is true. Let's assume that

00:08:32.160 when white people call 911 in Los Angeles because their house is burning down, they really don't want 0.98

00:08:37.120 to see black firefighters show up. So, when a team of all-white firefighters show up in Christine 0.93

00:08:42.720 Larson's worldview, it'd be totally normal and appropriate for the white homeowner to say, 0.90

00:08:48.240 well, thank God they didn't send any black firefighters. After all, he wants to see people 1.00

00:08:53.040 who look like him. What's wrong with that? In fact, maybe if he is incapacitated and can't

00:09:01.840 leave the building on his own and he sees that these are firefighters that don't look like him, 0.93

00:09:05.520 he might say, no, I'd rather burn to death. Send some white people or I'm not interested. 1.00

00:09:10.960 Now, of course, what Christine Larson really means is that non-white firefighters should want to see, 0.96

00:09:17.600 rather non-white victims should want to see non-white firefighters respond to their house. But

00:09:23.040 there's still a big problem here because I'd wager a lot of money that there is not a single 0.79

00:09:29.280 black person on the planet who would react with relief or joy if they called 911 and someone like

00:09:35.440 Christine Larson waddled up to their door. I mean, that would be a moment of sheer panic for anyone, 0.99

00:09:40.960 regardless of skin color. That would be the moment when they basically know their life is over.

00:09:45.680 But even if we assume that black people demand to be saved by overweight black lesbian firefighters 1.00

00:09:51.680 like Christine Larson, there's still another problem with Larson's explanation, which is this. 0.94

00:09:56.080 How exactly would dispatchers know what race of firefighters to send to a particular call?

00:10:02.320 Should the dispatcher demand to know the caller's race? Should they do a quick demographic poll to

00:10:10.960 figure out who this is so they can dispatch race matching fire crews? Is any of that happening right

00:10:17.280 now in Los Angeles? By the logic of the deputy fire chief, it should be happening.

00:10:21.680 And then, of course, comes the second part of the video in which Larson responds to someone who's

00:10:28.240 worried that as an overweight black lesbian, she won't be able to lift a man and remove him from 1.00

00:10:34.720 a house fire, which, of course, is true. When you talk about a man, even of average size, 0.98

00:10:44.400 there are almost no women on the planet who could successfully lift a man like that on their own 0.99

00:10:53.040 and bring him to safety. Now, Larson's response is that the man shouldn't have put himself in that

00:10:59.840 position in the first place. So it's his fault for being in a position where his house is burning down.

00:11:06.880 Now, she couldn't be making it any clearer that DEI hiring compromises the fire department's ability 0.93

00:11:13.840 to do its job. She thinks it's like a laugh line, apparently. This is how DEI hires at the highest

00:11:19.680 levels of the Los Angeles Fire Department are talking about the impact of DEI on their jobs.

00:11:24.960 But Larson has never been disqualified or punished in any way. She has a job paying well over $300,000

00:11:31.200 a year at the Los Angeles Fire Department in which she enforces various equity mandates while she 0.95

00:11:35.840 laughs at people who ask why she's so overweight. And part of that job apparently entails weeding out 1.00

00:11:41.120 alleged bigots in the ranks of the Los Angeles Fire Department. Watch.

00:11:45.040 So I want to reach down and bring you up. And that's kind of something that stuck with me to this day.

00:11:51.120 Part of that work means speaking up for those who can't. Over the last few years,

00:11:54.880 LAFD has dealt with a fair share of controversy and Larson not afraid to sound the alarm.

00:12:00.000 I chose to speak out pretty much by myself about the issues of sexism and racism within my department

00:12:09.760 and the need for change. I don't think there's any question that our department is the best at

00:12:16.000 fighting fires. We do it better than anybody in the world. But when it comes to the personnel side,

00:12:21.840 we have some issues and they're not insurmountable, but they need to be addressed and fixed

00:12:28.320 to the best of everybody's ability. This is very reminiscent of Lloyd Austin's big plan to purge

00:12:36.800 the Pentagon of extremist white supremacists, by which he meant white people who support Donald 0.84

00:12:40.960 Trump and refuse to take the COVID shot. It's kind of thing that no public agency in the United States 0.90

00:12:45.760 should be doing for about a million reasons. First of all, the idea of racism in fire departments

00:12:51.120 and police departments has been stretched beyond all recognition to the point that it's completely

00:12:55.440 meaningless. As we discussed earlier this week, fire departments all over the country are getting

00:12:59.440 sued right now for racism because they attempt to enforce basic standards of literacy and competence

00:13:05.120 in the admissions process. Secondly, this is a department that's now very short of manpower during

00:13:09.840 a historic crisis. Barring extreme circumstances, you should not be weeding out any competent

00:13:17.760 firefighters right now. The Los Angeles Fire Department should be focused on retaining as

00:13:22.240 many firefighters as possible, not firing them for liking an offensive meme or something.

00:13:27.920 And if you doubt that, take a look at Ferguson or Minneapolis or Baltimore. Have any of these cities

00:13:34.880 become safer after the BLM revolution? Of course not. Now the real purpose of all these purges is to 0.99

00:13:40.560 punish anyone who thinks an unapproved thought that also happens to be true. They don't want people

00:13:46.320 to make obvious observations like this one. Women should not be firefighters at all. Any effort to include 1.00

00:13:53.760 more women is by definition an effort to make the fire department less equipped and less capable by 1.00

00:13:58.560 definition. The same is true for police departments which are being gutted all over the country in the name

00:14:03.360 of equity. Just this week, the Maryland State Police agreed to a $3 million settlement with Joe Biden's

00:14:08.400 DOJ over their hiring practices. As one local news station reports, quote, the lawsuit claimed that the

00:14:13.120 Maryland Department of State Police violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 when it used a

00:14:18.880 certain physical fitness test and certain written tests to hire entry-level troopers. The lawsuit claimed

00:14:24.720 the test disqualified more women and African-American applicants than others and were not job-related.

00:14:29.840 In other words, in the world of policing, physical fitness and literacy are no longer job-related.

00:14:39.600 That's how these police departments and fire departments operate now. They know they have

00:14:43.360 to hire and promote incompetent people. This is the kind of deliberate sabotage that has directly

00:14:49.040 contributed to the disaster that's unfolding in Los Angeles. No matter what anybody on the left says,

00:14:53.520 doesn't matter what anyone in the media says, these things are directly linked. They have to be.

00:14:59.600 Instead of spending every moment thinking about protecting their state, the leadership of

00:15:03.040 California has been busy appointing equity overseers. So when a disaster occurs, they have no idea what to

00:15:09.440 do. That led to this clown car performance from Gavin Newsom yesterday. He told a constituent that he was on the

00:15:16.800 phone with Joe Biden. And then when she asked to talk to Joe Biden, he admitted he didn't have cell

00:15:23.360 service. It's like something to have a sitcom. Watch. Governor, you got a second? Governor, I live here,

00:15:32.320 Governor. That was my daughter's school, Governor. Please tell me what you're going to do. I'm not going to

00:15:36.960 hurt him, I promise. I'm literally talking to the president right now to specifically answer the

00:15:42.640 question of what we can do for you and your daughter. Can I hear it? Can I hear your call?

00:15:46.960 Because I don't believe it. I'm sorry. There's literally, I've tried five times. That's why I'm

00:15:53.120 walking around to make the call. Why is the president not taking your call? Because it's not going through.

00:15:57.680 Why? So I have to get cell service. So let's get it. Let's get it. I want to be here when you call

00:16:01.600 the president. I appreciate it. I'm doing that right now. Yeah, it's the classic blunder. I mean,

00:16:06.960 if you're doing the thing of pretending to be on a phone call to avoid having a conversation

00:16:12.640 with somebody who, by the way, as far as that goes, who among us, you know, who among us can

00:16:17.200 throw stones? We've all done that. But classic blunder is claiming you're on the phone with

00:16:27.280 someone that the other person might know, or in this case, at least know of. So you want to be more

00:16:31.680 vague than that. And, you know, if thousands of people weren't having their lives destroyed right now,

00:16:35.440 the incompetence would be amusing. But instead, given the staggering nature of this catastrophe,

00:16:41.680 it's infuriating. And people are very, very tired of this kind of thing. They want competence to make

00:16:46.240 a comeback. That would mean the Los Angeles Fire Department would have to fire some overweight 1.00

00:16:52.000 lesbians who are making $300,000 a year. But it would also mean that the next time a massive wildfire 1.00

00:16:56.880 engulfs the city, Los Angeles might actually have water in the fire hydrants. Imagine that.

00:17:02.320 They might have a mayor who's on the scene coordinating a response instead of pandering

00:17:06.960 in Africa. They might have enough firefighters to put out the blaze. That's a turn of events that

00:17:12.000 outlets like Rolling Stone magazine desperately want to prevent. But at this point, it's looking

00:17:19.280 more likely than ever. DEI has been tried. It has failed in spectacular fashion everywhere.

00:17:24.960 And now it's time for competent people to take over, even if they happen to be white men. God forbid. 0.94

00:17:31.840 The residents of Los Angeles, you know, may have struggled to understand that up until now,

00:17:38.240 but they understand survival. And at this point, that's exactly what survival will take.

00:17:43.440 If you're a homeowner like me, when's the last time you checked on the title to your home? That's

00:17:55.600 the legal document that shows that you own it. And if the answer is never, you need to know about a

00:18:00.400 fast-growing crime the FBI calls house stealing. I was previously shown how easy this scam is to pull

00:18:06.720 off. And let me tell you, it's pretty shocking. Criminals are forging these documents called

00:18:10.960 quit-claim deeds by filling them out with your information, signing it with a fake signature,

00:18:15.840 and stamping it with a notary seal that you can get online for 20 bucks and then filling them in

00:18:22.000 with county officials. And that's it. That's all it takes for your home to be transferred out of your

00:18:26.800 name without your knowledge. But here's the thing. The scammers don't want your house. They're after

00:18:32.640 your equity. They take out loans using your home as collateral and disappear, leaving you with a

00:18:37.280 financial and legal nightmare. But you can protect yourself from this despicable crime right now with

00:18:41.840 triple lock protection from home title lock, just like my producer Sean Hampton protects his home.

00:18:47.360 The first step to take as the New Year starts is to check on your home's title to make sure you're

00:18:52.160 not already a victim so you can start 2025 with peace of mind. You can get a free title history report

00:18:57.840 and a 30-day free trial of triple lock protection today by going to HomeTitleLock.com using promo code

00:19:07.600 Don't wait until it's too late. So originally, we were told that these fires are definitely not

00:19:13.760 arson, but it turns out that that may have been a premature declaration. What do you know? New York

00:19:19.680 Post reports one person has been taken into custody in connection to the Kenneth fire which broke out

00:19:24.080 Thursday in the West Hollywood Hills, California. According to reports, LAPD has taken a person

00:19:29.040 to custody for arson and Victory Trailhead where the devastating fire broke out is now being treated

00:19:34.640 as a crime scene. Kenneth fire broke out just after 2.30 p.m. on Thursday afternoon, spread over 800 acres

00:19:42.880 already. Okay, so at least one of these fires is being investigated as possible arson. I think it's

00:19:49.360 highly likely that there's more arson than just that going on. The fact that, you know, there are

00:19:54.240 videos floating around of people lighting fires or appearing to light fires. So it seems pretty clear

00:20:00.880 that, again, at least some of this is arson. And when you've got these fires that are happening at the

00:20:05.760 same time spread out over such a large area. Now, whether the first fire was arson, that's, I think,

00:20:17.280 still unclear. But it is interesting that, you know, anytime there's a major wildfire, it seems like

00:20:28.240 the suggestion that it's arson is treated by the media in particular as initially treated as some sort

00:20:34.480 of wild conspiracy theory. And we know there's a reason. We know there's a reason the media prefers

00:20:42.320 not to talk about arson. That's because they prefer to blame climate change. And they'd always rather

00:20:47.680 talk about that instead of the actual immediate human causes. But in reality, arson is a cause.

00:20:56.240 Mismanagement is a cause. Incompetence is a cause. Bad leadership is a cause. Lack of preparedness is a cause.

00:21:03.920 These DEI policies we've been talking about, that's a cause. Those things coupled with high wins.

00:21:11.840 All that together. And the problem is that all of the things on that list, everything but high

00:21:17.200 wins anyway, all the other items are solvable. And you wouldn't think that's a problem. I mean,

00:21:24.720 the fact that it's solvable is a, that would be a, you know, the fact that a problem is solvable is not

00:21:30.400 in itself a problem, you would think. But it is for Democrat politicians because, for one thing,

00:21:35.520 it means we can blame them for not solving the problem. And for another, it puts pressure on them

00:21:41.120 to actually do something. And you really can't discount that.

00:21:48.640 Yeah, there are the ideological reasons why the left pushes things like climate change.

00:21:55.840 But also, the climate change narrative gives them an excuse to do nothing. It allows them to sit back

00:22:02.640 and do nothing. That's why they always want to view every problem as some kind of, you know, huge,

00:22:09.280 all-encompassing, systemic issue. Because the bigger and more abstract the problem is,

00:22:15.760 the less you have to do. And again, there's, yes, there's the ideological and political component

00:22:21.360 of this. But also, it's just, it's pure indifference and laziness too. And that's why any, any time you,

00:22:29.760 any time something bad happens, whether it's a wildfire or a school shooting or anything,

00:22:38.560 they always want to say, well, let's, let's look at this from what, what are the systemic

00:22:42.640 causes? What are the things? Because they want to expand the problem and expand it and expand and expand

00:22:47.520 it. So it gets to a point where there's really nothing that can be done. Or at least where all

00:22:53.680 of the people on the ground who are supposed to be addressing these problems, there's nothing really

00:22:57.760 that they can do. Because they have to wait around for policies to be put in place and laws to be passed

00:23:04.560 and all this kind of stuff. They don't want to get down to the actual everyday kind of work of

00:23:12.000 governing and managing and leading. They don't want to have to do those things.

00:23:18.560 Which is why it always helps to deflect to, you know, climate change. I mean, climate change is,

00:23:23.360 when you talk about using, trying to expand an issue to use it as cover for your laziness and

00:23:28.560 incompetence, there, there, you can't expand it any farther than climate change. Because now you've gotten

00:23:34.480 to the point where you're not just blaming systemic issues and government or whatever, you're blaming,

00:23:39.680 you know, the earth itself. And it just allows them to say, hey, there's nothing we can do.

00:23:52.080 Daily Wire has this, the Biden administration's attempt to rewrite Title IX to allow men and women's

00:23:56.800 sports, locker rooms and bathrooms has been struck down nationwide by a federal court.

00:24:01.840 26 states sued to stop the regulations from going into effect. And the Supreme Court in August provided a

00:24:07.120 temporary stay of the rules. But now the federal court has blocked the regulations from going into

00:24:11.040 effect for all states, even those that didn't sue to block the regulations. Indiana Attorney General

00:24:17.840 Todd Rokita called the lasting ruling, the latest ruling rather, a huge win. He said, our next Biden's

00:24:27.520 radical Title IX rewrite has been defeated in court again. For now, Hoosier girls and girls nationwide are

00:24:32.880 protected from being able to infringe on their private spaces. This is a big win, another big

00:24:41.840 win in this fight. It's pretty tremendous, really, the string of victories that we've had. Team Sanity

00:24:47.280 has been on a pretty historic win streak. We're winning in the courts, we're winning in the state

00:24:53.280 legislatures, we're winning in the culture. We're about to win in the Supreme Court when the decision comes

00:24:59.520 down when their when their decision about the Tennessee law banning child mutilation comes down

00:25:07.200 probably in June, I would assume. Now, as I've been warning, you know, the gender ideologues, 1.00

00:25:14.000 they're not going to they're not just going to go away. They will regroup. They'll continue to push

00:25:18.240 their evil, destructive agenda. The question, though, is how much support will they have institutionally?

00:25:26.160 You know, you've got the true believer gender ideologues, the trans activists.

00:25:32.800 They're not going to let this go.

00:25:36.000 But but and we know that, but then you have everybody else on the left, especially all the

00:25:40.480 people in power who don't actually believe in transgenderism and never did, never believed in

00:25:46.480 it, never thought that it was, you know, that the arguments for it were valid. But they saw it as a

00:25:52.720 winning hand and as a useful tool. The question is, are they going to give up on it now?

00:25:58.400 Well, it seems they already have or are starting to. But will that trend continue?

00:26:03.760 I'm not sure. I do think at least that they'll back away from some of the battlefields in the

00:26:10.080 overall war. And I think this is one of them. I think the push to get men into women's sports

00:26:15.840 is not it's not totally over, but it's a it's a losing hand.

00:26:23.200 For the left. And I think that I think that they know it. I think they know that it's a losing hand and

00:26:27.760 it. That's not going to change.

00:26:37.920 So I think that I think in a relatively short period of time, we will be in a situation where

00:26:47.360 although the trans agenda continues, things like having men compete against women in women's sports,

00:26:54.080 I think that will be gone.

00:27:00.000 OK, here's this. Daily, Daily Wire is this. An OnlyFans content creator was recorded propositioning

00:27:04.960 a fast food employee for sex, but she was turned down after the worker told her he was a Christian

00:27:10.720 man. Bonnie Blue, 25 years old, is a controversial OnlyFans creator. It's a very polite way of 1.00

00:27:20.640 putting it who targets 18 and 19 year olds to have sex with her. 0.98

00:27:26.240 That apparently that's her brand. That's what she does. 1.00

00:27:29.760 Viewers had mixed reactions when Blue shared the video on TikTok account.

00:27:34.000 Let's we'll play the video. This is her walking into a five guys restaurant and propositioning this 0.97

00:27:41.280 this guy that's behind the counter. Watch.

00:27:43.600 I just wondered, I can't just see it on the menu, but where do I get the five guys from?

00:27:47.200 The five guys. I didn't know if it was like a special room or you can take me out back.

00:27:54.720 No, I don't think that's happening.

00:27:56.240 What about after your shift? I mean, I'd want to give you a good rating.

00:28:01.600 I'm a Christian man and I'm watching myself tomorrow.

00:28:04.560 I'm asking for what's on the menu, that's all.

00:28:06.400 Genuinely, I feel like I'm doing that now. I can hold you on the menu if you want.

00:28:10.160 Are you on it?

00:28:11.600 No, I'm not.

00:28:12.640 Oh, that's a shame.

00:28:14.640 So that's a great response from that young man. And this, you know, when you watch that,

00:28:21.920 it brings to mind, if you remember that OnlyFans creator, the OnlyFans prostitute a few weeks ago 0.96

00:28:31.520 who had sex with 100 guys in a day, I think was the number. And now she wants to graduate to 1.00

00:28:38.480 a thousand guys in a day or something completely revolting and disgusting.

00:28:45.680 And apparently it's not the same person. At first, I thought maybe this is the same person

00:28:48.960 because it sounds like the same person, but apparently it's not. And if you remember,

00:28:53.360 the conversation around that person at the time was that she was, and we talked about this on the

00:29:01.440 show, but the conversation around that person was that she was a victim also. She was a victim in all

00:29:09.280 of this. And there were a lot of people, a lot of conservatives even, talking about how they felt

00:29:15.840 sorry for her, you know, because she's a victim too. In fact, we heard the men who participated

00:29:22.240 are more at fault than she is. That was the claim. There was a lot of commentary saying shame

00:29:29.520 on these men, shame on these men for exploiting, for exploiting this poor woman who's clearly

00:29:34.560 damaged and had a difficult childhood and all that kind of stuff. Well, this is not the same woman, but 0.89

00:29:42.480 they're both British, British hookers on only fans, um, different people. Yet. I think the point can 0.97

00:29:49.840 still be made that these women are not victims. Okay. These are not desperate girls who've been

00:29:58.800 trafficked by some street pin, you know, now that's, that's still exists in the world. Obviously, uh,

00:30:06.160 sex trafficking is a real thing. And so you still have that, but with only fans, there's a new kind

00:30:14.720 of hooker that has emerged. Um, these are, and it's, it's pretty like unprecedented. I mean, you know, 0.70

00:30:24.160 we, we know that prostitution is one of the, one of the world's oldest professions, but this kind of

00:30:29.200 prostitution is very different because these are perfectly comfortable, financially stable,

00:30:35.440 often upper class women who decide to do this, not just upper class, but, but the really successful 1.00

00:30:41.360 ones, successful only in a financial sense, uh, become wealthy. These are wealthy women doing this 1.00

00:30:49.840 and, uh, they're, they're pimping themselves. So if you want to say that we should put most of the moral

00:30:57.520 blame on the pimp, fine. Well, in the case of only fans models, quote unquote, the pimp is the

00:31:07.360 woman herself. Now you could argue that the pimp is the, is, is actually the only fans platform,

00:31:13.600 the, the CEO, the parent company or whatever. And, uh, that's sure. But in that case, then it's like, uh,

00:31:23.680 it's like a franchise system. Um, the only fans executives are the, you know, top pimps,

00:31:29.840 but these women are like the franchisees. They're, they're like, you know, someone who owns a 1.00

00:31:34.240 McDonald's franchise or whatever. Um, but they're still pimping themselves out. So do I feel sorry for

00:31:44.160 them? Uh, no, I gotta be honest. I, I just, I don't call me cruel and callous. Many people have,

00:31:50.240 maybe I am, maybe I am, but with, with these kinds of women, the one, the ones on only fans, 1.00

00:31:56.040 no, I don't, I don't feel sorry for them at all. I don't look at that and say, oh, these poor women, 1.00

00:32:00.760 they've, they've had difficult lives and they've been reduced to this. No, I, I, I, they deserve the

00:32:08.120 same level of moral condemnation that we give to pimps. And nobody ever says that we should feel sorry

00:32:14.720 for pimps. No one ever says that. Even though, you know, when you, when you, when you, you think

00:32:19.280 about a, a, a, a young woman on a street corner, you know, the kind of, I guess we would have to

00:32:26.880 call it now old fashioned prostitution. And a lot of people would feel sorry for that woman and would 1.00

00:32:34.060 say, oh, the, the, the, the, the pimps are these evil people and they are evil, but like, you know,

00:32:40.440 the, the, the pimp on the street corner probably lives a pretty miserable life too, life too.

00:32:46.500 Probably had horrible things happen to him. You know, people that live good lives and are just

00:32:52.120 like normal, well-adjusted people, they don't become pimps just like they don't become prostitutes.

00:32:56.780 Yet nobody ever looks at that guy and says, well, we should really feel sorry. I feel, he's a victim

00:33:01.480 too. He's a, no one ever says that. Um, not that they should, I'm not saying that we should.

00:33:07.380 Just like we should not see these women as victims, the women, the OnlyFans women,

00:33:16.620 we, we should condemn their behavior and shame them for it.

00:33:21.540 You know, this is, this is, that's why this is an important point about how does society respond

00:33:26.460 to this sort of thing. Um, and now it's, it's easy enough to say that and see that with this

00:33:35.700 particular video of this particular woman, because she's like the sexual aggressor, you know, she's 1.00

00:33:41.220 the predator in essence going in and trying to, um, but all these women, I, I, our, our response 0.97

00:33:49.360 should be condemnation of their behavior and, uh, shame and shunning. It is a disgusting, shameful, 0.67

00:33:59.000 dirty, gross thing to make your living on OnlyFans or, or to be on it at all, whether you're making a 0.94

00:34:06.280 living or not. It is a disgusting, gross thing. Uh, it shows a severe moral, um, deficiency on your 0.99

00:34:17.660 part and, um, you are disgusting for doing this. And, and like that, that is the level of, uh, 0.89

00:34:28.220 condemnation that we should have for this behavior. Um, and cause if we don't, if we don't, if instead

00:34:38.120 we say, well, everyone, you know, we can't judge, we can't judge. Well, when you say that, that's how

00:34:46.600 you end up with prostitution becoming a like normal upper class occupation. Okay. That's how you end up

00:34:56.360 with that. That's how you end up with seemingly normal, like soccer moms who become prostitutes 1.00

00:35:03.000 and they don't even need the money. You end up with that because society has not responded,

00:35:07.980 uh, in a, in an appropriate way to this kind of behavior. Okay. Notre Dame beats, uh, Penn State

00:35:17.420 in the orange bowl last night. And, uh, after the win during the post game interview on the field,

00:35:22.700 an ESPN reporter tried to play the race card with, uh, Notre Dame's head coach, Marcus Freeman is his

00:35:27.740 name. He's a black guy. And, uh, but he was not interested. Watch this. 0.60

00:35:33.000 You are the first black head coach to go to a national championship game in college football.

00:35:41.360 Just hearing that response alone. How much does this mean to you?

00:35:45.580 You know, I've said this before. Um, I don't ever want to take attention away from the team. Um,

00:35:54.500 it is an honor and I hope all coaches, minorities, black, Asian, white, it doesn't matter. Great

00:36:01.880 people continue to get opportunities to lead young men like this. Um, but this ain't about me. This

00:36:08.680 is about us. And, uh, we're going to celebrate what we've done because it's something special.

00:36:14.080 Well, that's a fantastic answer. And, and look, he didn't need to deliver some kind of speech

00:36:19.680 against left-wing racial ideology. He didn't need to preach against DEI or, or, or whatever. Um,

00:36:28.300 you know, I actually think that it's better that he didn't. It's better that he was just totally

00:36:33.280 uninterested in the race angle entirely and pivoted back to the team. He said that he hopes great

00:36:39.040 people of any race get opportunities. And, uh, that kind of sums it up. Now it really is embarrassing.

00:36:44.940 And I know this, this ESPN reporter is probably incapable of feeling embarrassment, but she should. 1.00

00:36:48.960 And she's not doing any favors for female sports reporters, by the way, this guy just had a huge 1.00

00:36:54.680 win. He wants to celebrate with his players. And she's asking these utterly irrelevant, you know,

00:36:59.480 vapid, vacuous, silly questions. Um, but his response was great. And it goes to show what I, 0.97

00:37:08.940 what I've said before that, um, about football, you know, this response from this football coach is not

00:37:14.800 unique. Most guys in professional football and high level college football and really football at every

00:37:21.440 level are like this. Now you have your woke libs here and there. Um, and maybe at an institutional

00:37:28.980 level in the NFL, it's a corporation. So you're always going to have some of that kind of stuff, but

00:37:33.040 the actual like guys that are in football, whether on the sidelines or on the field, you know, for the

00:37:41.160 most part, they don't go for the woke stuff. And, um, most of them have no time for the, the race 0.84

00:37:46.020 baiting. Most of them are actually very, very, very conservative. In fact, now I don't know if this

00:37:50.160 Marcus Freeman is politically conservative. I'm not saying I don't know that, but I know that a lot

00:37:56.140 of people in football are also very religious. I mean, I just saw a video of a Ravens head coach,

00:38:01.040 John Harbaugh in the locker room after their last game of the season, the whole team is whole team is

00:38:07.740 together, um, uh, locking arms, kneeling and saying the Lord's prayer in the locker room,

00:38:14.180 which is of course very common in football. I mean, those kinds of scenes are very common

00:38:18.860 and, uh, you constantly see that the most prominent, most influential figures in the sport

00:38:24.140 praying, glorifying God, talking about their love for Christ. Often in, in, in, you know,

00:38:33.460 oftentimes it's, it's not just a simple, Oh, I want to thank God. And then moving on, like they,

00:38:38.120 you know, the, the, the cliched Oscar speech or whatever, often talking about it in really,

00:38:42.920 uh, personal, uh, I think compelling and profound terms talking about their faith. I mean,

00:38:50.480 talking about it in a way that you could tell they really mean it. So look, football is a

00:38:56.720 conservative sport. It's a, and it's a great influence for young men. Um, that's why it

00:39:01.700 always, like, I'm not saying you have to like football. It's, everyone has their own tastes

00:39:07.680 when it comes to recreation and sports. And some people don't like, don't like sports at all.

00:39:11.100 That's fine. You know, you don't have to enjoy watching, but when I hear from conservatives

00:39:16.460 sometimes who are, you know, talk about football, like it's woke or like, it's a bad thing. 0.97

00:39:21.540 They derisively say, Oh, sports ball, you know, and it's a dumb, I just don't understand that 0.97

00:39:27.900 attitude. I mean, football is number one, it's America's sport. This is our thing. Um, 0.92

00:39:35.340 and these are oftentimes like very religious conservative people who get into this. And

00:39:42.960 again, it's a great, it's a great thing for young men in particular. Um, so you would think that we

00:39:50.940 would all support it. You know, it's, it's a, it's a thing that we should all support. I would

00:39:55.900 think. Um, okay, let's get to the comment section. Let's talk about something that affects all of us

00:40:12.880 responsible, uh, hardworking Americans, and that is taxes. Now that it's the new year and tax season

00:41:24.580 John Fish, if you need help, go to URL LA Mayor. What? Their house is burned down and there is no

00:41:31.620 electricity or internet and URL is not an address. Face palm. Thanks for the help. Good job. Look,

00:41:36.260 you know, you cannot underestimate the sheer stupidity of our political leaders. That's 1.00

00:41:40.500 one thing. These are truly dumb people, a lot of them, and often bad people, often very 1.00

00:41:47.260 bad people. But sometimes I think we overstate the, the eat, the, the badness, which isn't 1.00

00:41:54.700 to say that we're, yes, they're very bad. And the mayor of Los Angeles, clearly not a good

00:42:01.980 person. But also again, just, these are not intelligent people.

00:42:11.460 Fact, if you stop consuming all dairy products for a few months, you become lactose intolerant.

00:42:16.580 This is because we are not meant to drink milk for our entire lives, much less another animal's milk.

00:42:21.600 Find me one single animal in the animal kingdom that drinks milk its entire life. While you're at it,

00:42:25.860 find me one that drinks the milk of another species. The fact that there's nutritional value

00:42:29.600 doesn't make it nutritious altogether. There's nutritional value in tree bark and grass.

00:42:33.460 If we were intended to drink cow milk over extended periods of time, humans would not

00:42:36.680 all become intolerant to it upon ceasing to consume it.

00:42:43.700 The conversation about milk continues. There are so many milk. I never knew how, what a, what a,

00:42:52.820 what a minefield the subject of milk is. People have very strong opinions all over the place.

00:43:00.240 All kinds of very strong milk related opinions. And this one is, is interesting. I don't necessarily

00:43:06.600 disagree with you. I haven't thought about it much, but I don't drink milk myself. I enjoy dairy products

00:43:11.880 like cheese. Who doesn't? But I don't, I don't drink milk. I'm not just going to like pour a glass of

00:43:17.640 milk and drink it. So you raise an interesting point. No other species on the planet drinks milk into

00:43:21.620 adulthood. Uh, maybe we're just not meant to. I don't, I don't think older people taught taking

00:43:30.820 a driver's test would be too useful. Accidents will be more related to reaction time versus the

00:43:34.860 rules of the road. Well, that's an argument for improving the driving test. And yeah, I think the

00:43:39.600 driver's test should be improved in general. Uh, I guess I don't, I don't know exactly what the current

00:43:45.940 driver's test consists of because my kids are not old enough for that yet. Thank God. And I took it

00:43:51.640 20 years ago. Uh, and I know of course it varies to some degree from state to state, but when I took

00:43:56.260 it, it basically just tested your ability to turn the car on, uh, drive about, you know, a quarter of a

00:44:02.240 mile at 15 miles an hour, stop at a stop sign and then parallel park. And I assume the driver's test

00:44:08.060 today is similar to that in most States. And if it is, then it's not extensive enough. In my opinion,

00:44:14.040 it does not do, it doesn't test for the right things and it puts way too much emphasis on

00:44:19.200 parallel parking. I've never understood why parallel parking is even on the driver's test

00:44:23.600 because you know, it, first of all, most people are terrible at parallel parking their whole lives.

00:44:30.820 It's not going to change. And, um, you can avoid it most of the time, especially if you don't live

00:44:38.460 in a city, then you have very few, there are very few, uh, situations where you even have to parallel

00:44:43.940 park. And even if you live in a city, you can still avoid it if you want to. Uh, so I don't care that

00:44:49.660 much if you can parallel park or not, which most people can't. What I care about is another driver

00:44:54.480 on the road is whether you understand how to change lanes on a highway, um, how to enter

00:45:02.560 the highway, how to merge, how to use a merge lane, you know, uh, how to keep up with the speed of

00:45:09.580 traffic, like those kinds of things. Um, do you understand what to do if you are on the highway

00:45:19.660 and you notice that you're, you're just about to miss your exit, but you're three lanes over from

00:45:27.180 the exit? What do you do in that situation? Do you slam your brakes and screech across three lanes of

00:45:33.940 traffic so you can make that exit? Or do you just continue up to the next exit and get off on that

00:45:39.840 exit and then get back on the highway the other direction and get your exit that way, which will

00:45:45.140 take you four or five more minutes, but that's the downside. The plus side is that you won't

00:45:50.340 potentially kill yourself and 10 other people. So do you understand that? Like those are the things

00:45:56.360 that the driver's test should test for. And, uh, at least when I took it, the driver's test didn't

00:46:00.220 test for any of that. It didn't test for any of the, you know, any of the situations where your life is

00:46:06.120 actually on the line, the life's not on the line with parallel parking. Even if you do it wrong,

00:46:10.120 like worst case scenario, you hit someone's bumper, not good. You're not going to kill

00:46:15.120 anybody. I don't think anyone's ever been killed in a parallel parking situation ever. Uh, but so,

00:46:19.840 so that's an argument for, I think the driver's test should be improved. I think it should be

00:46:23.740 more extensive. Um, I think a lot more people should fail it. You know, I mean, when you,

00:46:30.260 when you're out on the roads and, uh, and sure there are people on the roads that don't have

00:46:33.980 licenses and so on, but it, most of the people, when you're on the roads all pass their driver's

00:46:38.420 exam. And that, that should tell you something right there. Every time I'm on the road and I'm

00:46:42.540 looking at all these moron drivers and I just say all these, almost all these people pass the exam. 0.96

00:46:49.260 What does that tell you about the exam? So the exam should be more extensive, should be more 0.97

00:46:53.440 difficult and you should have to take it more often. Um, and I said, take it again when you're

00:46:58.520 70. I mean, you can make an argument shift to retake your driver's exam, you know, every 10 years,

00:47:06.280 every five years. I mean, I shouldn't cause I'm a perfect driver, but all the rest of you people,

00:47:13.000 I should get an exemption, but the rest of you people should be, you should be taking that

00:47:15.920 driver's test every year. Okay. What does a woman sparked the cultural conversation? Now 1.00

00:47:21.440 identity crisis, a powerful new film from the daily wire and turning point USA goes even deeper,

00:47:26.200 exposing the heartbreaking consequences of radical gender ideology while highlighting stories of

00:47:31.300 resilience and courage in the pursuit of truth. Starting now and for the next 72 hours,

00:47:35.260 identity crisis is streaming for free on X. We chose to make it free for 72 hours because this

00:47:40.400 is a story everyone needs to see the raw unflinching truth about how this dangerous ideology is affecting

00:47:45.980 children and families. Creating bold premium content like this is not easy. It's costly. It's bold.

00:47:51.560 And it's essential. That's why the daily wire depends on your support to keep reshaping the

00:47:57.160 cultural landscape. Follow at real daily wire on X, watch identity crisis, share it, spread the word.

00:48:03.040 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:05.260 So the rise of the Hawk to a girl has raised a very important question. It's a question that has

00:48:15.320 profound implications for our country and indeed for our entire world and maybe even our universe.

00:48:19.520 It brings me no great joy to report this, but it's true. The question is this, is it really possible

00:48:26.720 for anyone with a pulse, regardless of talent, dignity, intelligence, to become a celebrity in the U.S.

00:48:33.800 in the year 2025? That we truly entered an age in which even the most talentless and unimpressive

00:48:38.600 people on the planet are capable of making millions of dollars simply by behaving in the most annoying

00:48:43.300 fashion imaginable? Now, if you spend any amount of time on TikTok or Instagram reels or pretty much

00:48:47.500 any social media, you probably already concluded that the answer to that question is a resounding

00:48:51.840 yes. But allow me for a moment to be the voice of optimism. Just present a counterargument.

00:48:57.800 Counterargument. And that counterargument is named Meghan Markle, otherwise known as the fake Duchess 0.94

00:49:03.660 of Sussex. As you probably know, Meghan Markle gave up royalty several years ago with the goal of 0.70

00:49:08.640 becoming a social media influencer. But in a turn of events that poses a very clear problem for her

00:49:14.040 grand plan, it turns out that Meghan Markle has no influence. She is actually failing at becoming an 1.00

00:49:19.900 influencer, which is something that up until her, I didn't know that was possible. I didn't know it was

00:49:24.020 possible to fail at doing that because literally anyone can do it. It seemed. Several years ago,

00:49:30.280 when she and Prince Harry signed a $100 million deal with Netflix, a statement like that would

00:49:35.460 have been unthinkable. But it's not unthinkable anymore. This deal recently produced a five-part

00:49:41.540 documentary called Polo, which is either about horses or about collared short-sleeved shirts. I didn't

00:49:47.880 check. Either way, every single reviewer panned it. The Telegraph wrote that it was a dull indulgence

00:49:52.960 about a rich person's pursuit. The Guardian called it unintentionally hilarious, saying that it,

00:49:57.880 quote, feels like a spoof documentary designed to play on screens in the background of episodes

00:50:01.880 of Succession. An outlet called The Decider wrote that the documentary is, quote, a mostly boring

00:50:06.680 look at a sport that very few people outside of elite circles have any particular interest in.

00:50:11.040 Okay, so I guess it is about horses and not shirts. Anyway, these are the kinds of outlets that

00:50:14.840 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have desperately tried to pander to over the years, and it's not working

00:50:18.800 well for them at the moment. In fact, the reviews were so bad that rumors began circulating

00:50:22.620 about the future of that $100 million Netflix deal. A lot of people began wondering if Markle's

00:50:27.960 follow-up show about cooking, gardening, and entertaining might be canned. One alleged

00:50:33.780 insider told the Daily Mail, quote, there won't be another deal. There may be one-offs, but that's

00:50:37.660 it. A-listers are now actively keeping away from them and events that they're apparently going to

00:50:41.740 attend. Apparently, according to this unnamed source, things are so bad that Oprah did not invite

00:50:46.880 Meghan Markle to a surprise birthday party that she threw for a Gayle King. That's a tragedy. 1.00

00:50:53.200 And I don't want to alarm anyone or make you relive any elementary school drama that you

00:50:57.860 might have suppressed as an adult, but it's a pretty big deal in the industry. That's a celebrity

00:51:02.760 equivalent of like Oprah sending a drone strike against Meghan Markle. But Meghan would not be

00:51:09.500 deterred. Nevertheless, she persisted. Against all odds, at this hour, it does appear that Meghan's show

00:51:14.840 about cooking and entertaining will indeed see the light of day. Netflix has been promoting it,

00:51:19.700 seemingly to spike their own audience. And they've even released this trailer, which has

00:51:24.060 already become one of the most panda trailers in the history of Netflix. And you'll find Amy

00:51:29.840 Schumer specials that have better audience reactions than this. Here's a small part of it.

00:51:34.200 Let's go.

00:51:39.960 I've always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it. Surprising people with moments

00:51:50.020 that let them know I was really thinking of them.

00:51:52.540 What? This is probably one of the most glamorous moments of my life.

00:51:58.600 It's magic.

00:52:00.120 I'm going to share some little tips and tricks. I see what color I gravitate to and everything

00:52:06.420 goes from there. And how you can incorporate these practices every day. That's what you want.

00:52:12.540 You want that shape and texture. This is about connecting with friends. I love that we're doing

00:52:21.700 this together for the first time. Making new friends. That is so good. We're family now.

00:52:28.200 The trailer assures us that the show is all about making friends and celebrating with family. Two

00:52:33.500 things that Meghan Markle is clearly incapable of doing. Her whole family hates her and she's called 1.00

00:52:38.440 her family racist. If Meghan could do a show about celebrating with family, then Hunter Biden can 1.00

00:52:43.820 start a documentary about the virtues of monogamy and the importance of securing sensitive data on

00:52:49.480 your laptop. So we're approaching unprecedented lack of self-awareness over at Netflix, which is

00:52:55.240 truly saying something. But there are a lot of layers to the lack of self-awareness here. In case you've

00:52:59.860 forgotten this whole episode, Meghan Markle famously claimed that she changed the course of history when 0.99

00:53:05.100 she was an 11 year old child by pressuring Procter and Gamble to stop running an allegedly sexist

00:53:10.440 commercial for dish soap. The commercial stated that women are fighting greasy pots and pans with 1.00

00:53:15.340 ivory clear. And Meghan supposedly convinced the company to change the word women to people to be more 0.93

00:53:21.820 gender neutral. And a news crew showed up at her house and everything. She repeated the story again

00:53:27.180 and again. She even mentioned it at the United Nations. Okay, this is what a big deal it was. It's clearly a lie,

00:53:32.960 but that's not the point. Now Meghan Markle, the noted feminist who's extremely sensitive to 1.00

00:53:37.980 stereotypical portrayals of women in the kitchen, is trying to position herself as some kind of kitchen 1.00

00:53:42.660 expert. She's making a show where she's a woman in the kitchen, going out of her way to promote the 1.00

00:53:47.680 stereotype, the harmful stereotype that she found so offensive as a child. All because her relevance is

00:53:53.300 plummeting and she's desperately trying to produce something inoffensive that some woman somewhere might 1.00

00:53:57.840 watch. But of course, you know, nobody's buying it. There's not a single positive comment underneath

00:54:03.160 this trailer on any platform, as far as I can tell. A lot of the comments on this trailer were too

00:54:08.560 obscene for me to read, but I'll do my best. On X, one person writes, all they wanted was some privacy

00:54:14.900 and a Netflix deal. Another comment reads, thanks, I'd rather bathe in battery acid. And then there's this

00:54:20.540 one, quote, nothing screams love in the air like using a fake house for your TV show. Now on YouTube,

00:54:25.180 the trailer has a 90% dislike ratio. And in a pretty conspicuous move, Netflix left the comments open,

00:54:32.940 almost like they wanted the show to get panned before it comes out. That decision allows someone to write,

00:54:38.440 quote, she doesn't throw on a pair of shoes when she hosts William and Catherine for their first dinner 1.00

00:54:43.680 and meeting, but she's covered in gold and diamonds while making lunch for her friend. Another person

00:54:48.720 observed, I've been a chef for 30 plus years and I can tell by how she holds her knife and her underproofed 0.74

00:54:53.720 focaccia that she has no idea what she's doing. And it all goes downhill from there. Megan's whole

00:55:00.720 career has gone downhill. More precisely, her career never existed. Her career couldn't go downhill

00:55:05.900 because there never was a career in the first place. She gave up a life of royalty and ripped 1.00

00:55:10.380 her husband away from his family, all in the hopes of becoming basically a glorified Instagram

00:55:13.860 influencer in the US, only to find out that nobody likes her. No one's interested. Nobody wants to hear 0.86

00:55:18.820 about her or see anything from her. She has no influence. It's a truly tragic story and also

00:55:23.720 a pretty funny one. Yet, Markle still has some kind of contract, which was signed back when

00:55:28.540 executives assumed that they could force feed any fake influencer down our throats. Now, to be fair

00:55:33.180 to those executives, that seemed like a reasonable position at the time. It even seemed reasonable as

00:55:37.800 of last summer when the Hak Tua girl exploded in popularity. But based on the reaction that Megan

00:55:43.600 Markle's show is receiving right now, thankfully, it's not a reasonable position anymore. And that

00:55:48.060 is why Megan Markle and her new show about cooking and making friends and loving her family, three

00:55:53.560 things she clearly does not do, are today canceled. That will do for today and this week. Have a great

00:56:01.560 weekend. Talk to you on Monday. Godspeed.

00:56:10.020 I've often said that gender affirming care is health care. It is mental health care and it can

00:56:14.960 actually be suicide prevention care. I think I'm gonna take some medicine so I can kind of like

00:56:22.640 transform into a boy, get surgery. After the surgery, I didn't really feel any better.

00:56:29.020 When it stopped being a thing for adults and it started to be a, let's teach this to kids.

00:56:34.340 Total lie. Manipulation. It's gaslighting. Please stop. He's a boy, not a girl. How could 0.99

00:56:40.000 she do this to my son? What they're talking about is hormonal therapy or sex reassignment surgery

00:56:45.920 on children. I thought fixing me externally would fix me internally. But of course I was wrong.

00:56:53.120 The fact that the state thinks that they're more important and have a better say in what happens

00:56:57.240 to your child over the actual parent's opinion is egregious. Puberty blockers, surgeries, big

00:57:02.240 moneymakers for hospitals, for physicians. All I want to do is hold my son.

00:57:08.620 Are you asking me to lie to parents? And he said, yes.

00:57:13.060 This is a weaponized use of a parent's sympathy and caring and concern by the left to destroy your

00:57:20.520 child. Let's tell kids that maybe they can be the opposite sex. Maybe they actually are the opposite 1.00

00:57:26.480 of sex. It is an evil thing to tell children that happiness lies on the other side of puberty 0.85

00:57:33.100 blockers or double mastectomies. The left so badly wants to blur these lines.

00:57:37.700 That's a five alarm fire. It's criminal.
