00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh show, RFK Jr. has discussed the possibility of banning advertisements from
00:00:04.280 big pharma. Almost every other country on the planet already bans direct consumer ads from
00:00:08.160 pharmaceutical companies. We'll discuss why we should join that list. Also, we now have the
00:00:12.320 body cam footage showing what exactly happened when a mother tried to retrieve her gender-confused
00:00:16.360 minor daughter from the home of a former teacher who had illegally taken custody of her. The
00:00:20.740 footage is just truly outrageous and unbelievable. We'll play it. And can college students answer
00:00:25.820 basic questions like, who fought in the civil war? And is Asia a state that borders Canada?
00:00:32.040 We'll play the video that delivers the expected but still highly depressing answer. All of that
00:00:35.800 and more today on the Matt Walsh show.

00:02:11.440 Imagine that an executive of a major corporation sits down for dinner at a restaurant. Unbeknownst
00:02:17.780 to him, it's a sting operation. Everything he says is being recorded. Very quickly, in order to
00:02:22.480 impress somebody that he thinks is interested in him, the executive confesses that his company
00:02:27.420 is lying to the American public. And in secret, the executive says they're thinking about conducting
00:02:32.460 extremely dangerous medical experiments within the borders of the U.S. And these experiments are
00:02:37.560 similar to the ones in Wuhan that led to the COVID pandemic. And then the executive admits that
00:02:43.160 government regulators are not scrutinizing these experiments as much as they should be for the
00:02:47.240 simple reason that they don't want to jeopardize their potential future job opportunities at the
00:02:51.460 very same corporation. And then imagine that once the executive realizes that he's on camera and that
00:02:56.720 he's just confessed to a fraud on the American public, he begins screaming and crawling on the floor.
00:03:02.380 And in his hysteria, he pushes people away, tries to hide his face, and then ultimately runs away.
00:03:08.680 He demonstrates a clear consciousness of guilt, in other words. What do you think the end result of
00:03:14.340 this kind of episode would be? Now, in a rational world, you might expect at a minimum that this
00:03:20.320 executive would be fired and that his company would be immediately investigated, both by the
00:03:25.160 government and by every media organization in the country. After all, it's not every day that a
00:03:30.380 corporate executive admits that his company is working on research that could cause another
00:03:34.340 pandemic. And he also just divulged trade secrets on camera as well, which you would think would
00:03:39.920 sort of upset his bosses. But in reality, none of those things happened. The situation I just
00:03:46.160 described took place in early 2023, as you might remember, when Project Veritas secretly filmed a
00:03:51.800 senior official in Pfizer's research and development division. And you might recall the whole episode,
00:03:58.160 Pfizer came out, denied essentially that the executive had meant what he said. And as far as we know,
00:04:05.860 the company took no action against him. In the end, Pfizer, needless to say, did not suffer any
00:04:11.160 significant consequences whatsoever. They remained one of the largest and most profitable corporations
00:04:16.080 on the planet. But incredibly, the people who exposed the Pfizer executive did not fare as well.
00:04:23.480 It was like Pfizer kind of pulled a reverse Uno card. For one thing, Project Veritas didn't survive.
00:04:30.940 It collapsed soon afterwards. And so did the one show on cable news that covered Project Veritas'
00:04:36.080 reporting, which of course was Fox News' Tucker Carlson Tonight. They were taken off the air shortly
00:04:41.600 after covering the Pfizer sting operation for reasons that remain officially undisclosed. So to restate this,
00:04:48.480 the situation, less than five months after a Pfizer executive was exposed and humiliated on camera,
00:04:55.200 everybody who talked about the scandal was deplatformed. And meanwhile, the executive went back to work.
00:05:02.040 If you wanted to illustrate the extraordinary power that the pharmaceutical industry has in this country,
00:05:08.000 you'd be hard-pressed to find a better example. One way or another, people who criticize them
00:05:13.880 tend to lose their platforms. And that is a level of protection that very few other corporations have
00:05:19.440 regardless of their financial situation. Tesla, for example, is about 10 times the size of Pfizer
00:05:24.740 by market cap. And as we all know, they're subjected to constant media attacks and also physical attacks
00:05:31.440 out in public. So what is it about the pharmaceutical industry specifically that makes them so hard to
00:05:39.040 criticize? The leading theory, which we've talked about before, is that companies like Pfizer
00:05:44.160 have basically bought the media. I mean, you can't watch Fox or CNN or MSNBC without seeing an ad from
00:05:52.380 the pharmaceutical industry. In total, the pharmaceutical industry spends something like
00:05:56.220 $5 billion in advertising every year, which in some years is more than they spend on research and
00:06:03.200 development. And a lot of this spending is concentrated on news stations. As the journalist
00:06:08.920 Kyle Becker reported on his Substack, nearly 31% of ad minutes on major nightly news broadcasts in
00:06:15.260 2024 came from pharmaceutical brands. Now, if you watch any amount of cable news, you know that that
00:06:21.380 figure is certainly accurate. I mean, you could turn the television on and you'll probably see one of
00:06:25.440 these ads within like five minutes, if not sooner. And these are among the most lucrative ad purchases,
00:06:30.240 pushing drugs like Ozempic, Skyrizi, and so on. And naturally, that kind of spending leads to
00:06:36.920 favorable coverage. Big Pharma doesn't even need to establish any kind of quid pro quo officially or
00:06:42.860 request anything from the news networks. It's just generally understood that if you're working for
00:06:48.580 these networks, you should go easy on the pharma giants because they are one of the reasons you're
00:06:54.340 in business. Now, this dynamic is one of the reasons why a lot of people took notice recently on
00:07:01.360 hearing the news that RFK Jr. and the HHS had supposedly implemented a total ban on direct-to-consumer
00:07:08.640 pharmaceutical advertising. And those reports turned out to be inaccurate, at least for the time
00:07:13.800 being. But RFK Jr. has pledged to implement a similar ban in the past, and he's been very clear
00:07:20.200 about his reasoning. While he was campaigning for Trump last year and while he was before that leading
00:07:24.500 his own presidential bid, RFK Jr. made the point that pharmaceutical advertising has compromised
00:07:30.060 the news industry. And he's also said that in part because of these advertisements, Americans spend
00:07:35.780 far more on prescription drugs than pretty much every other major country. By some estimates,
00:07:39.960 we spend more than twice as much. And it's logical to conclude that advertising plays a major role in
00:07:47.660 those numbers. When people see an advertisement for a new prescription drug, they're more likely to tell
00:07:53.700 their doctors they want it, as opposed to a cheaper generic brand. And keep in mind, only two countries
00:07:59.720 on the planet allow direct-to-consumer pharmaceutical advertising. And those countries are us, the United
00:08:07.040 States, and New Zealand. The vast majority of the civilized world, I mean, the rest of the world, has
00:08:14.440 rejected this kind of marketing. And one of the obvious consequences of this carve-out for big pharma is that
00:08:20.520 they sell a lot more drugs to people who otherwise wouldn't pay for them. And they wouldn't spend $5
00:08:26.120 billion a year on advertisements if that weren't true. And this isn't even getting into big pharma
00:08:30.600 advertisements and solicitations that target physicians and other professionals. So that's a
00:08:34.520 whole other category. We're talking just about direct-to-consumer marketing. Now, just to give one
00:08:42.060 example, in 2022, the manufacturer of the drug Skyrizi, AbbVie is the name of the manufacturer,
00:08:50.160 spent around $229 million advertising the drug just that year alone. The next year, AbbVie decided
00:08:58.480 to increase its advertising budget for the drug by more than double, and the results were clear. Drug
00:09:04.260 sales went up to $7.8 billion, and that's an increase of roughly 50% year over year. Now, there was no
00:09:11.400 major FDA approval that occurred in this period. The drug's formula didn't change in some way.
00:09:16.840 Instead, more people heard about it, so more people asked their doctors for it. And by the way,
00:09:22.800 the vast majority of these $7.8 billion came from customers in the United States because they're
00:09:27.960 pretty much the only people who are being subjected to these advertisements. This advertising exemption,
00:09:34.960 of course, is just one of several carve-outs that big pharma enjoys in this country. It's also
00:09:39.680 nearly impossible to sue them if, for example, one of their vaccines ends up hurting or killing you,
00:09:45.540 thanks to a federal law passed three decades ago. But the advertising carve-out is one of the most
00:09:51.240 important ones because it has a lot of downstream effects that aren't immediately obvious.
00:09:57.060 One of those effects is that the ads increase the price of the drugs. When billions of dollars are
00:10:02.220 spent on advertising, inevitably, that cost is going to be passed on to the consumers.
00:10:06.420 This is just basic economics and common sense, and doctors see it every day.
00:10:11.560 As far back as a decade ago, when direct-to-consumer advertising was much less common than it is
00:10:15.380 today, the American Medical Association noticed the problem. They voted to ban all direct-to-consumer
00:10:20.800 advertising. And the chair of the AMA, a woman named Patrice Harris, announced that,
00:10:26.660 quote, today's vote in support of an advertising ban reflects concern among physicians about the
00:10:31.320 negative impact of commercially-driven promotions and the role that marketing costs play in fueling
00:10:36.400 escalating drug prices directed to consumer advertising also inflates demand for new and
00:10:42.080 more expensive drugs, even when these drugs may not be appropriate, close quote.
00:10:47.080 Now, it's true that, by law, these advertisements have to list all of the potential side effects.
00:10:51.780 Invariably, you know, they rattle them all off at the end of the commercial, as we all know.
00:10:56.380 And they do it so quickly that you can't really tell what's happening in some cases.
00:11:00.760 Pretty much everyone ignores these disclaimers at this point because they all end up sounding like
00:11:04.800 a bizarre list of horrible afflictions, always ending in death or paralysis or something catastrophic.
00:11:11.360 You know, you can watch an ad for Claritin, and they'll tell you that the side effects could
00:11:15.000 include getting hit by a train or something. It's almost as if the drug makers have trained us to
00:11:19.840 become numb to all of these potential side effects and to think that they're all extremely
00:11:24.040 rare and unlikely to occur. So you just kind of block them out of your mind.
00:11:29.220 And that's because even with the often comically long disclaimer at the end of these drug commercials,
00:11:36.260 the ads still don't do enough to emphasize the potential side effects and dangers of these drugs.
00:11:42.820 They don't discuss the relative risk of every side effect or how common they are.
00:11:46.780 And that makes sense because ads, regardless of who's making them, are meant to manipulate
00:11:52.080 and to create an emotional response in a very short period of time. And that's fine
00:11:56.860 when you're selling cars or clothing or fast food or whatever, but it just shouldn't be the way that
00:12:03.720 medical treatments are presented to the public. People should consult with professionals when they
00:12:10.760 are seeking these treatments instead of watching paid actors sing a song about it or whatever.
00:12:16.760 But pharmaceutical ads, by design, short-circuit this process. They allow
00:12:20.820 big pharma companies to sell the disease, not just the cure. They convince people that they have such and
00:12:29.660 such a disorder. That's why all these ads always start with, are you feeling this way? Do you have
00:12:35.380 these symptoms? Well, then you might have this disease. Go talk to your doctor about this drug.
00:12:41.180 Right? They sell the disease and then they sell the drug. Enlisting the would-be patient to go to
00:12:49.760 their doctor and request a drug, which is totally backwards. You're supposed to go to your doctor
00:12:57.000 with your symptoms, not with a wish list of drugs that you want to receive. But this is the way it
00:13:04.180 works now. So pharma ads have helped to turn doctors into glorified drug dealers. And there's
00:13:10.180 about, you know, a dozen studies you could point to that bear this out. Patients who go to the doctor
00:13:15.960 and say, I saw an ad for Paxlovid or I saw an ad for Prozac are a lot more likely to get that drug
00:13:22.640 than a patient who simply presents their depression-related symptoms to the doctor.
00:13:28.160 And on top of that, these advertisements have also contributed to the perception that
00:13:33.360 whatever problem you might have, whether it's depression or feeling like you're in the wrong
00:13:38.260 body or whatever, that a drug from big pharma can be the solution. As we've discussed,
00:13:43.720 this is a sentiment that has ruined the lives of thousands of people, including children in this
00:13:49.060 country. And part of the reason this perception has been allowed to fester, as Liz Wheeler pointed
00:13:53.620 out the other day on X, is that there's no critical reporting on big pharma in the mainstream press.
00:13:59.960 There's basically none. The pharmaceutical industry is allowed to buy billions of dollars worth of
00:14:05.460 advertising, which presents them as the solution to everybody's problems. And then the press,
00:14:11.380 along with many scientific institutions that also receive money from big pharma,
00:14:14.740 don't have any incentive to contradict the narrative. If and when HHS does ban these
00:14:21.280 advertisements, then suddenly that incentive will reappear. Very quickly, corporate media will
00:14:27.960 fail. I mean, it will just disintegrate because they'll be deprived of most of their advertising
00:14:35.320 revenue, or at least they'll be deprived of a very significant chunk of it. And in their place will
00:14:41.640 be a slew of investigations by actual journalists into the various grotesque abuses of power by the
00:14:47.780 medical establishment in recent years on everything from gender ideology to the COVID shot to antidepressants
00:14:52.940 to everything else. Now, as of right now, again, it appears that the reports were wrong about an
00:14:59.460 imminent ban on these direct-to-consumer advertisements. But there are reasons to think
00:15:03.800 that RFK Jr. and HHS are still planning to implement one. And if that comes to pass,
00:15:08.480 and there are indicators that it will, then it would inevitably set up a major legal battle between
00:15:15.500 big pharma and the federal government on First Amendment grounds. They'll claim that they have
00:15:20.060 the constitutional right to flood the airwaves with sales pitches for extremely potent medications that
00:15:25.320 could ruin your life. But, you know, they don't have that right. I mean, big pharma doesn't have a
00:15:32.040 constitutional right to just access consumers whenever they feel like it in any forum that they feel like
00:15:37.640 it any more than the local drug dealer does. So if RFK Jr. can win that fight,
00:15:44.100 then in one fell swoop, he will destroy the corporate press, save billions of dollars for Americans,
00:15:53.880 rescue lots of people from dangerous drugs that they shouldn't be taking,
00:15:58.140 and usher in a new era of skepticism for an industry that badly needs it.
00:16:06.600 He would be, I mean, easily the single most consequential HHS secretary in the history of the
00:16:11.480 country, one of the most consequential cabinet secretaries, period, in the history of the country.
00:16:16.940 All he needs to do is what pretty much every country in the world is already doing,
00:16:20.980 which is to tell big pharma to get off of our televisions. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:16:33.620 I want to tell you about my friends at PragerU, the conservative nonprofit fighting to educate
00:16:38.160 the next generation and win back the culture. Conservatives won big in November, but the fight
00:16:42.260 is far from over. The left still controls our schools and is undermining faith, family, and freedom.
00:16:46.660 One election is not going to fix that. That's why PragerU is making real lasting change.
00:16:51.500 They're reaching young people like never before with pro-American content, nearly 2 billion views
00:16:56.580 a year they get with all this, with 65% of their audience under 35. And now PragerU is getting into
00:17:01.580 classrooms. Nine states have already partnered with them to bring PragerU videos and books into schools
00:17:06.440 with more states on the way, but they can't do it alone. Right now, every dollar you give is triple
00:17:11.520 matched to help push back against radical indoctrination. Don't wait. Go to PragerU.com,
00:17:16.660 slash DW, and make your donation today, which will be triple matched. Together, we can keep
00:17:21.500 the momentum going and stand strong for our values. That's PragerU.com, slash DW.
00:17:28.160 Yesterday, we talked about the very troubling case out of Colorado of the radical far-left
00:17:32.060 former teacher and her trans husband, her husband who pretends to be a woman, who took a gender-confused
00:17:38.860 17-year-old child into their home. Essentially, this is a child that was brainwashed at school by one of
00:17:45.260 their counselors at school, told by the counselor. This is according to the mother, told to cut off
00:17:52.940 all contact with parents. The gender-confused 17-year-old then goes to the home of this
00:17:59.040 former teacher and the trans guy. And they essentially claim custody of her and will not return her to her
00:18:07.260 mother. And they still have refused to return the child to her mother. So this is, I mean,
00:18:15.480 by any definition of the term, this would seem to be kidnapping, which is being done out in the open.
00:18:23.540 And I mentioned yesterday how the mother went to the house of the kidnappers and tried to get her
00:18:28.380 child back. They refused. She then called the police. The police showed up and refused to help.
00:18:36.840 Well, now we have the body cam footage of this interaction with the police. And in the footage,
00:18:44.140 we'll see the police officer first talking to the child, to the 17-year-old inside the home.
00:18:50.420 And then we'll see the police officers talking to the mother outside of the home.
00:18:54.160 And I just want you to see how the police handled this. Now, we talked about it yesterday, but now
00:18:59.900 you can see it and hear it for yourself. I mean, it really is truly shocking. So let's watch a little
00:19:07.500 bit of this. I'm Deputy Thurber. How are you? Good. That's all I need to basically hear. I'm just
00:19:16.160 coming by to make sure you're good. You know what I mean? I'm not going to try to insert myself into
00:19:21.420 something that's already sort of in process or whatever you're doing. You know, yes, by legal
00:19:26.560 standard, you're technically a minor as a 17-year-old, but I just wanted to make sure you're good.
00:19:34.980 Yeah. You're good? Yeah. Okay. Thank you very much. Very good. That's all I need for now. And I appreciate
00:19:40.780 you guys and I appreciate your willingness to, I don't know, I guess, help me check boxes.
00:19:47.260 I hear you. Probably going to have to speak with them. Yeah, they're going to have a meltdown. Exactly.
00:20:00.400 Hey there. Hi. So I'm Deputy Thurber. Hi there. And you folks are? I'm Mom. Okay. I'm Renee. All right.
00:20:14.820 I'm McKenzie. Okay. Um, so I basically went and did a welfare check and, um, I don't see signs of
00:20:24.580 distress. There doesn't need to be distress. She needs to come home. She is, um, harbored by these
00:20:30.960 folks and does not have my permission to be here. She is a minor. I don't care if she's a day away from
00:20:36.700 18. A minor is a minor and she does not have my permission to be here. Right. But again, it doesn't
00:20:43.080 rise to the level of law enforcement involvement. She's not in distress right now. I'm sorry. You're
00:20:48.900 telling me that you're not going to physically rip her out of that home. Yeah. Even if there was an
00:20:55.520 agreement between CPS and her and the mother that that those are civil agreements and you get it. So
00:21:00.900 that's the police officer responding, just infuriating. And yeah, you guys know that I'm a big
00:21:05.120 defender of the police. I, uh, I defend the police on the show. I defend corrections officers on the show.
00:21:11.600 You know, if you're in law enforcement and you listen to the show, you know that I have your back.
00:21:15.720 I'm on your side, but there are definitely exceptions to that. And, uh, this is one of them.
00:21:21.700 This officer is a total disgrace. I mean, where do we even begin? Let's begin with the scare quotes,
00:21:28.300 right? He says, well, you're talking to the child, the 17 year old. He says, well, you're technically
00:21:33.960 quote unquote, legally a minor. No, she's not quote unquote, a minor. She is a minor.
00:21:39.600 What do you mean? Technically she's a minor, but according to the law, she's a minor. She is under
00:21:46.580 the custody of her mother. And those two adults, one of whom is a crossdresser have taken possession
00:21:56.260 of this minor, this child against the will of the mother. That is not legal. You can't just do that.
00:22:03.300 Right. I don't, I don't think there's any state in the country where that is allowed legally,
00:22:09.120 where you could just take a kid and say, oh yeah, it's my kid. No, no, you can't, can't have your
00:22:13.040 kid back. Sorry. That's what happened. I mean, if my kid goes over to somebody's house, right? Goes
00:22:22.040 to a friend's house. And then I come a couple hours later to pick her up. And the friend's parents
00:22:28.240 informed me that my daughter will not be coming home, that they're going to keep my daughter
00:22:34.160 because she wants to stay with them. That will not be acceptable. That is a lot worse than
00:22:42.000 unacceptable. That would be cause for me to forcibly enter the home by any means necessary
00:22:48.900 and extract my child by any means necessary. And to use whatever amount of force I need to use
00:22:56.760 to deal with anyone who happens to be standing in the way of that in order to get my child back.
00:23:05.940 And by the way, I would do that like without hesitation. It wouldn't be anything that's
00:23:09.220 nothing to think about here. I want my child back. You have 0.02 seconds to produce my child. And if you
00:23:17.820 don't, I'm coming into your house and I'm going to take my kid back and I will do whatever's
00:23:25.420 necessary to make sure that happens. But this cop here thinks that the whole thing's a big joke.
00:23:33.200 He's having a great time with it. He thinks it's a big joke. And his way of seeing if the child was
00:23:40.400 in distress was to spend about 20 seconds just asking her if she's in distress. Oh, just trying
00:23:48.520 to see if you're in distress. Nope. Okay. Well, see you later. Really great police work there, officer.
00:23:56.300 That's your way of. And the other adults, the kidnappers are sitting right next to her. You
00:24:01.840 didn't even pull her aside to talk to her without the other adults there. So the girl just kind of
00:24:09.160 nods and the cop says, well, that's all I needed. Thanks for helping me check boxes.
00:24:16.480 He actually said that. Admitted that he was just checking boxes. And then he comes out and laughs
00:24:23.540 about the fact that the mother will have a meltdown. Oh yeah, she's going to have a meltdown over this.
00:24:27.400 Uh, yeah. Yes, you scum. Yeah. That's, that's the mother of this child. Any mother would have a
00:24:35.100 meltdown if she's being told that her daughter has been legally kidnapped somehow. Her daughter's
00:24:41.420 been kidnapped and there's nothing the law is going to, the police are going to do about it. Yeah.
00:24:45.820 Meltdown. Yeah, I would think so. Um, so it's just, and this, but this is the, uh, this is the pro
00:24:54.680 trans side of cartoonishly evil, indefensible on every level. And they, they have been empowered by
00:25:06.340 people like this in government. I don't know what this, I can't get inside. I don't know who this
00:25:12.640 officer is. I can't get inside his head. I can't understand his motivations. I mean, the situation
00:25:19.820 here is so clear. And then he says, well, what am I going to do? Rip her out of there? Uh, yes.
00:25:26.260 Yes. That's what you do. Uh, obviously that's my kid. I have legal custody over my own child.
00:25:35.100 There has been no legal process that, that has been, has happened here to take away my custody of
00:25:40.960 my child. I have legal custody over my child. I want my child back. There are adults refusing to
00:25:45.600 return my child. So yeah. Uh huh. Yeah. You physically remove her. You're a police officer.
00:25:52.840 Why are you acting like it's not possible for you to physically make someone go where they don't want
00:25:56.900 to go? Don't you do that every day? Isn't that when you arrest anyone, isn't that? And usually it's
00:26:01.180 not 17 year old girls. Like, are you able to handle a 17 year old girl? So, uh, so I, you know,
00:26:08.820 you can't get inside the officer's head. I don't know what his motivation is. Does he have a
00:26:12.040 trans kid of his own? Is it, I mean, usually that's what, usually that's the, the answer to
00:26:18.100 the riddle in these kinds of cases. Uh, but I, I have no clue. I have no, absolutely no idea.
00:26:23.320 Um, but this is the kind of thing that no, I mean, no rational person can look at this case
00:26:31.100 and come away thinking, well, yeah, that was handled correctly. Um, so pure, just pure evil.
00:26:43.100 And, uh, it's why, listen, um, if you live in a place like Colorado, this is, this is the danger.
00:26:51.980 And certainly this is not me a victim blaming here, but, uh, we talked yesterday about the danger
00:26:56.820 of sending your kid to public school, especially if your child starts to experience gender confusion
00:27:02.560 starts to, you know, if you notice that they're kind of flirting with these ideas at all, um,
00:27:09.360 sending them to public school is a, the public school system becomes a clear and present danger
00:27:14.240 to your child. And you have to do whatever you can to extract your kid from that situation.
00:27:20.800 Um, and it's even bigger than that, because if you live in one of these states,
00:27:25.660 one of these far left lunatic states, and your child starts to, um, fall into this cult,
00:27:35.400 well, you know, the law is going to stand against you every step of the way.
00:27:40.900 So to the extent you can get your kids out of public school system and also get out of these,
00:27:46.840 out of these states, move to a, move to an actual free state.
00:27:51.540 Um, daily wire has this report, director of national intelligence,
00:27:55.660 Tulsi Gabbard said on Tuesday that climate change was not included in the intelligence
00:27:59.240 community's national threat assessment this year because she directed America's intelligence
00:28:03.280 apparatus to focus on the most serious and immediate threats that the country faces.
00:28:06.800 She made these remarks during a Senate intelligence committee hearing when Senator Angus King
00:28:10.780 asked why global climate change was no longer deemed a national security threat.
00:28:17.020 Here is the video of this exchange.
00:28:19.300 One note that surprised me, I've been on this committee now for, this is my 13th year,
00:28:25.640 every single one of these reports that we have had has mentioned global climate change as
00:28:30.880 a significant national security threat, except this one.
00:28:34.720 Uh, has something happened as global climate change been solved?
00:28:39.020 Uh, why, why is that not in this report?
00:28:42.960 And did, who made the decision that it should not be in the report when it's been every,
00:28:47.180 in every one of the 11 prior reports?
00:28:50.120 Uh, I can't speak to the decisions made previously, but this annual threat assessment has been focused
00:28:55.920 very directly on the threats that we deem most critical to the United States and our national
00:29:01.200 security.
00:29:02.120 Obviously we're aware of, uh, uh, occurrences within the environment and how they may impact
00:29:08.600 operations, but we're focused on, uh, the direct threats to Americans' safety, well-being, and
00:29:13.980 security.
00:29:14.660 How about how they will impact mass migration, famine, dislocation, political violence, which
00:29:20.820 is the finding, by the way, of the 2019 annual threat assessment under the first Trump
00:29:26.920 administration.
00:29:28.360 Do you don't consider that a significant national security threat?
00:29:32.340 For the intelligence community, being aware of-
00:29:35.160 It's not a, it's not a national security threat.
00:29:36.940 But Tulsi Gabbard handles this very reasonably, very politely, thoughtfully, did a great job.
00:29:43.080 Uh, I would have been a lot less polite and thoughtful about it.
00:29:45.760 That's, which is why I will never hold political office or be appointed to any kind of political
00:29:49.940 position at all ever, uh, which is probably for the best because what I would have said in
00:29:56.700 this situation is, well, no, Angus, climate change is not a national security threat.
00:30:03.800 Uh, the climate changes because it's the climate.
00:30:07.720 Climates change by definition.
00:30:10.060 What do you expect the climate to do, Angus?
00:30:12.380 Not change?
00:30:13.660 Do you want it to remain exactly 70 degrees and sunny forever?
00:30:17.180 I would like that too.
00:30:19.340 But the fact that the weather changes and does stuff you don't like doesn't mean it's a national
00:30:24.580 security threat.
00:30:25.360 You imbecile or any other kind of threat that we need to do anything about or that we can
00:30:32.240 do anything about.
00:30:34.380 I mean, sometimes the weather is a threat to our, to our, uh, uh, to our safety.
00:30:40.060 Still can't do anything about it.
00:30:43.460 Okay.
00:30:44.040 What do you know what controls the weather?
00:30:46.260 Angus, do you, do you understand what controls the weather?
00:30:48.720 Do you know what, you know what determines the climate and its changes?
00:30:53.920 Well, maybe it's hard to see right now because you're sitting inside, but if you go outside
00:30:57.340 and you look up and you notice that giant spherical bright hot thing in the sky, that's called
00:31:03.780 the sun, Angus.
00:31:05.300 It's really big.
00:31:07.240 99% of the mass in the entire solar system is contained in the sun.
00:31:11.520 It's 27 million degrees at its core.
00:31:13.140 It's a really big thing.
00:31:13.940 You can fit 1.3 million earths inside of it.
00:31:16.340 It's like really big.
00:31:17.060 It's really hot.
00:31:18.140 Uh, it has a gravitational force that extends 200 billion miles into space.
00:31:22.140 Uh, if a rocket ship left earth like today with current technology, 300 years from now,
00:31:26.440 it would still be inside the sun's neighborhood.
00:31:28.620 A hundred years after that, it still would be, it's just a really big, powerful thing.
00:31:32.440 And so that is what decides what kind of climate and weather we're going to have on earth,
00:31:37.820 Angus, that's the, that's what determines it.
00:31:40.120 So if you want a, if you want a threat assessment, there it is.
00:31:42.980 Look at the sun.
00:31:43.680 There you go.
00:31:44.100 There's your problem.
00:31:44.940 What are you going to do about it?
00:31:46.220 Blow it up?
00:31:46.780 I mean, what's your, what's your plan here?
00:31:50.040 And what do you want the, the director of national intelligence, like, what do you want
00:31:54.380 the intelligence community to do about the weather?
00:31:56.880 Do we need to send spies to go spy on the weather?
00:32:02.140 We already have those, Angus.
00:32:03.580 They're called meteorologists.
00:32:06.320 Notoriously unreliable, by the way, but we have those.
00:32:08.840 Okay.
00:32:09.100 We have spies all the time conducting clandestine operations to figure out what the weather is.
00:32:14.520 That's called your TV weatherman.
00:32:16.340 So go talk to him.
00:32:18.460 Like, what do you want me to tell you?
00:32:19.720 This is the intelligence community.
00:32:23.100 You want the CIA to work on the weather?
00:32:27.160 Why don't we appoint, how about this?
00:32:28.320 Why don't we appoint you, Angus?
00:32:29.620 We'll appoint you to be our, to head up the intelligence operation to spy on the weather.
00:32:36.860 As a matter of fact, why don't we, we'll send you straight to the source.
00:32:40.340 I already told you what the problem is.
00:32:41.840 I told you who's at fault here.
00:32:43.140 We know, we know who to blame for all this weather nonsense going on.
00:32:46.680 Every time it gets hot, there's like one thing to blame.
00:32:51.060 Okay.
00:32:51.460 It's that big burning, that big burning thing up in the sky.
00:32:54.380 It's, it's, so what we'll do is we'll put you on a spaceship and we'll have you go consult with,
00:32:59.140 we'll send you directly to the sun.
00:33:01.220 How about that?
00:33:03.720 Just right straight into the sun to figure out this problem.
00:33:08.440 So you go to the sun and then come back and tell us and report back.
00:33:13.140 That's what I would have said.
00:33:17.140 Something like that.
00:33:19.640 But, you know, that's not very polite.
00:33:21.060 So I understand you can't, hearing of this type, that wouldn't be appropriate.
00:33:25.440 Although it is true.
00:33:27.040 All right.
00:33:27.480 Speaking of morons, you know, spring break is happening right now.
00:33:33.760 And so we always get these kinds of videos around spring break.
00:33:37.980 Caitlin Bennett went down to spring break to talk to a bunch of college students
00:33:41.720 and to quiz them about basic facts, about history and civics and that sort of thing.
00:33:48.080 Of course, we've seen a million of these kinds of videos.
00:33:50.200 So you know exactly where it's going to go.
00:33:52.720 And yet, and yet, the videos still managed to shock and disgust us every single time.
00:34:00.700 Like, you know exactly how this is going to go.
00:34:02.200 Okay, it's going to be a bunch of these college kids who are total morons and know absolutely nothing about anything.
00:34:09.420 And yet, still, knowing that going in, you find yourself somehow surprised.
00:34:17.600 So let's watch this.
00:34:18.960 Who did the colonists fight in the Revolutionary War?
00:34:22.820 Oh, God.
00:34:24.100 In the Revolutionary War?
00:34:25.240 Oh, it was, oh, I don't know if this is right.
00:34:27.140 I mean, it sounds so stupid.
00:34:28.100 Was it the Spanish?
00:34:29.140 Wait, what are your majors?
00:34:31.000 Business.
00:34:32.440 Biology.
00:34:33.360 Elementary education.
00:34:34.600 Oh.
00:34:36.040 What shape is the U.S. Pentagon building?
00:34:39.380 Do you, isn't it just a square?
00:34:42.560 How many U.S. Senators are there?
00:34:46.240 Six, seven.
00:34:47.820 Six, seven.
00:34:50.080 How many amendments are in the Bill of Rights?
00:34:52.320 There's a lot.
00:34:53.380 I know 17.
00:34:55.060 Who won the Civil War?
00:34:56.440 Oh, shoot.
00:34:57.200 It's East or West, right?
00:34:59.220 Well, it's the Civil War.
00:35:00.120 So it's the civilians versus whoever was in power.
00:35:02.840 How many justices are on the Supreme Court?
00:35:05.560 Justices.
00:35:06.760 So, like, when you say that, you mean, like, the FBI?
00:35:08.960 Who is on the $100 bill?
00:35:15.300 Abraham Lincoln?
00:35:16.800 Nope.
00:35:17.660 Abraham Lincoln.
00:35:18.480 Come on, bro.
00:35:20.660 That's the First Amendment.
00:35:22.100 What's the second?
00:35:23.180 Right to vote.
00:35:24.180 Name three states that border Canada.
00:35:26.260 We'll just do one per person.
00:35:29.240 Asia.
00:35:29.940 I didn't know Canada had a border.
00:35:33.180 Okay, so these are mostly college students.
00:35:37.080 We heard one of them is in elementary education, so that's very encouraging.
00:35:40.920 The Leaders of Tomorrow.
00:35:43.080 And I know these videos are kind of cheap.
00:35:46.020 Most likely, she probably talked to a few people who answered the questions correctly,
00:35:49.960 and they don't make the cut for the video.
00:35:52.720 But that doesn't matter, because it simply should not be possible to go anywhere and talk
00:35:57.880 to college students who don't know who fought in the Civil War.
00:36:02.740 Even though, arguably, I mean, there was the one moron who said East versus West.
00:36:06.780 The girl who said, well, the civilians versus the people in power, that she, it's sort of,
00:36:14.460 I mean, you could make an argument that she has sort of stumbled on something close to the truth.
00:36:20.500 In that you could argue that it essentially was Southerners versus the federal government in a,
00:36:33.240 I don't know.
00:36:33.820 I mean, if you tried to, if you tried to rescue that one, you might be able to do it.
00:36:37.000 But you should not be able to find anyone, you should not be able to find anyone who thinks
00:36:46.640 that Asia is a state bordering Canada.
00:36:51.960 Think about how utterly clueless about the world you would need to be to think that.
00:37:02.660 Like, I want to get inside that guy's head and find, what do you think the world looks like?
00:37:09.120 Where do you think you are right now?
00:37:11.180 Because apparently you think Asia is close by and that between you and Canada is Asia.
00:37:20.980 So then if you went across the Pacific, which you probably don't know where that is,
00:37:25.020 what, where, what's over there?
00:37:27.720 How can you, how can you make it to that age?
00:37:31.040 And think, it's, it shouldn't be possible to think that.
00:37:36.100 And you certainly should not be able to find anyone who graduated from 13 years of K through 12 public education
00:37:44.320 and yet are this shockingly ignorant about the most basic facts of the world.
00:37:50.760 And yet, and yet you can.
00:37:51.960 It's very easy to find people like this.
00:37:54.760 I doubt that Caitlin Bennett had even spent all that much time filming.
00:37:58.120 She probably was filming for like an hour and she was able to find all this.
00:38:02.120 Because anyone could do this.
00:38:03.180 You can go down to any beach during spring break, spend an hour filming.
00:38:06.100 You don't find enough ignoramuses of this type to fill out a funny montage.
00:38:11.380 And that's why I'm really not interested in hearing from anyone defending the Department of Education.
00:38:15.780 It has totally failed.
00:38:17.200 It has, it has clearly failed in the most fundamental way.
00:38:21.320 Here's a question to consider.
00:38:22.660 And of course, there's no way to confirm this, but 100 years ago,
00:38:28.380 do you think, let's even say 200 years ago.
00:38:31.400 Okay, in the year 1825, do you think you would have been able to find a single 19-year-old
00:38:43.060 who had no clue where Asia is?
00:38:47.460 Do you think that in 1825, you could have found a 19-year-old who thought that Asia was somehow a state or territory of the US?
00:39:01.720 I don't think so.
00:39:05.240 Even if you were talking to, I mean, 200 years ago, 200 years ago,
00:39:09.560 there were many fewer people who had any kind of formal education.
00:39:14.320 And even then, I don't think it would have been possible to find anyone over the age of like seven
00:39:19.980 who had that level of ignorance.
00:39:21.820 And yet, these days, they're everywhere.
00:39:24.940 It's a whole cottage industry on YouTube.
00:39:27.140 So this is a systemic failure.
00:39:29.800 The whole education system has totally failed.
00:39:33.500 And we all know that.
00:39:35.020 We don't even need to look at test scores, any of that stuff.
00:39:39.440 The fact that anyone can make this video, anyone can do this.
00:39:43.020 I could do this right now.
00:39:44.160 Now, I could just go out in public anywhere with these kinds of questions.
00:39:50.500 And if I was willing to film for three or four hours, I could find 50 people who could not answer these questions.
00:39:56.360 And we all know that we could do that.
00:39:59.560 So the education system has, it has actually produced,
00:40:06.320 it's produced a level of ignorance that, as I said, should not even be possible.
00:40:11.060 It's almost impressive how the amount of ignorance it's produced is almost impressive in its own right.
00:40:20.740 So you've got to tear the whole thing down.
00:40:22.260 The whole thing needs to come down.
00:40:25.460 And also, these people should not be able to vote.
00:40:31.220 Like, that should go without saying.
00:40:32.380 It is outrageous that probably everyone we saw in the video, that all of those people can vote.
00:40:44.100 That the guy who thinks that Asia is a state bordering Canada,
00:40:50.220 he thinks that Asia is like,
00:40:52.520 and that guy can go vote.
00:40:56.280 And his vote counts the same as everybody else.
00:40:59.960 He has no idea where he is.
00:41:01.460 He doesn't know where he is.
00:41:03.780 He doesn't know what planet he's on.
00:41:06.100 He doesn't know anything about anything at all.
00:41:11.240 And yet, his vote is equal to mine.
00:41:15.040 That should just not be allowed.
00:41:16.720 So this is the next, that's the next conversation we need to broach.
00:41:20.740 You know, there's, we've made a lot of progress on the right, even in recent months.
00:41:27.800 Even progress that many of us didn't think was even possible.
00:41:31.860 I mean, the fact that we're talking about dismantling the Department of Education, that alone.
00:41:36.780 Two years ago, I would have thought,
00:41:38.420 there's no way that's going to happen.
00:41:39.720 It's impossible.
00:41:41.380 And so it is.
00:41:42.200 And so here's another conversation that seems impossible.
00:41:47.100 It seems like it'd be impossible that we would have an actual, like a real,
00:41:50.460 and I don't just mean as a podcast topic.
00:41:52.820 I mean, really, like a real movement in this country
00:41:55.400 to start limiting the number of people who can vote.
00:42:02.320 And it goes against all of our programming,
00:42:04.600 because we've all been raised in this fantasy world,
00:42:08.000 where we think that voting is a God-given right.
00:42:11.340 Like, everyone should be able to do it.
00:42:13.960 The idea that there'd be any limits put in place at all is just,
00:42:18.940 it feels intuitively wrong to people,
00:42:23.980 because we've had this idea drilled in our heads from the youngest ages
00:42:28.500 that voting is this sacred thing that everyone should be able to do.
00:42:33.660 But that's just not the case.
00:42:35.180 That was never the plan for this country to begin with.
00:42:44.460 That's, that's, you can't have a functioning country this way.
00:42:49.080 You can't have a functioning country where you've got people who are that stupid,
00:42:53.780 whose voice matters the same as you or I.
00:42:59.120 Like, that will kill the country.
00:43:01.780 It's killing it right now.
00:43:04.180 And so you start, and there's an exponential growth rate
00:43:06.860 in this kind of ignorance and stupidity.
00:43:10.100 So 50 years from now, like, the country doesn't, can't exist anymore
00:43:14.240 when you've got these kinds of people who are steering the ship.
00:43:20.600 So either we can continue to have a country,
00:43:24.960 or we can figure out a way to stop these kinds of people from voting.
00:43:28.900 I mean, it really is that simple.
00:43:31.040 It's our choice to make.
00:43:33.180 Let's get to the comment section.
00:43:35.020 If you're a man, it's required that you grow a bit, hey,
00:43:40.000 we're the sweet baby gang.
00:43:44.360 As Doge continues to surgically cut the fat
00:43:47.040 from decades of bloated government spending and corruption,
00:43:49.660 Pure Talk, the cell phone company that I use for business every day,
00:43:53.020 is cutting the fat from the wireless industry.
00:43:55.180 That's right.
00:43:55.600 Pure Talk says, I don't think so, to $100 a month cell phone plans,
00:44:00.360 which are just wasteful, irresponsible.
00:44:03.140 Instead, they're offering America's most dependable 5G network
00:44:05.920 at America's most sensible prices.
00:44:08.100 Listen to this.
00:44:08.720 Unlimited talk, text, and 15 gigs of data,
00:44:11.260 plus mobile hotspot for just $35 a month.
00:44:14.000 And with Pure Talk's U.S. customer service team,
00:44:16.440 you can switch hassle-free in as little as 10 minutes.
00:44:18.960 You don't need Doge to cut the fat from your wireless bill.
00:44:21.680 You can do all that with Pure Talk yourself.
00:44:24.060 Go to puretalk.com slash Walsh.

00:44:35.200 Just last week at Walmart,
00:44:36.720 a grown black woman was walking around in a fleece Grinch onesie.
00:44:42.560 People have no shame.
00:44:43.960 A onesie.
00:44:47.020 Yeah, the pajamas in public are out of control for sure.
00:44:51.040 With that said, and there's no excuse to be a onesie.
00:44:53.640 Like, to wear a onesie, I mean, that's,
00:44:55.280 you shouldn't be wearing that at your house, clearly, as an adult.
00:44:58.260 But with that said, Walmart is its own thing.
00:45:02.940 So I'm very clear about what I think should happen to grown adults
00:45:07.520 who wear pajama pants in public.
00:45:08.800 Like, I think they should go to Gitmo.
00:45:11.400 I'm not even joking.
00:45:13.220 You could make a carve-out for Walmart
00:45:14.740 because Walmart has its own set of rules.
00:45:17.940 Walmart is exempt from many of the basic rules of decorum.
00:45:21.260 It just is.
00:45:22.500 It just is.
00:45:23.200 It's just the way that, I mean, look, I'll,
00:45:26.260 I was just walking around Walmart at like 9.30 p.m. a few weeks ago
00:45:29.420 and I was in sweatpants.
00:45:31.040 I really was.
00:45:31.660 That actually happened.
00:45:33.420 Because I had, you know, we had a sick kid
00:45:35.480 and we needed a thermometer because we couldn't find,
00:45:38.280 every time we have a sick kid, we're like,
00:45:39.280 we can't find a thermometer.
00:45:40.720 When you have a bunch of kids, like,
00:45:41.800 these are just the random things that go missing all the time.
00:45:45.080 And so anyway, I just had to run out.
00:45:46.900 And like, you know, I was aware of sweatpants.
00:45:48.160 I'm around the house.
00:45:49.740 And Walmart's the only thing up is I'm running out.
00:45:52.640 And then my wife even said to me,
00:45:53.760 like, aren't you going to get changed?
00:45:54.720 I said, well, it's Walmart.
00:45:55.660 It's fine.
00:45:56.180 It's 9.30 at night.
00:45:57.580 Going to Walmart.
00:45:59.900 And of course, inevitably, when I'm there,
00:46:02.500 someone who's a fan stops me
00:46:04.640 and I look like just a total slob.
00:46:07.160 But that's how it is.
00:46:09.320 It's different.
00:46:09.740 It's a different tradition.
00:46:10.800 So I'm saying that the rule applies to everywhere
00:46:13.300 except for Walmart.
00:46:15.840 I mean, arguably, like, you shouldn't,
00:46:18.380 it's rude to not wear sweatpants at Walmart.
00:46:22.260 You know, it's like you're,
00:46:24.260 it's kind of a dress code that you're violating.
00:46:29.900 Seeing a shoelace and thinking it's a noose
00:46:32.000 is basically the left's version
00:46:33.340 of finding Jesus on toast.
00:46:37.280 Yeah, it is.
00:46:38.060 That's an insightful observation.
00:46:39.520 You're right.
00:46:39.900 Except that the Jesus on toast thing
00:46:42.120 is a cliche used to mock Christians.
00:46:44.880 I don't know.
00:46:45.120 Has anyone ever actually claimed
00:46:47.440 that they found Jesus on a piece of toast?
00:46:49.060 Maybe it really happened one time
00:46:50.380 in the 90s or something
00:46:51.200 and it became kind of a meme.
00:46:54.020 But the fake nooses are an actual epidemic.
00:46:56.680 That's a real thing that happens all the time.
00:46:58.540 Makes me think of Matt talking to the,
00:47:04.260 about the hate crime hoax dude in Am I Racist?
00:47:07.920 I bet it was painful having to act like an a**hole
00:47:10.200 in front of reasonable people.
00:47:13.020 Well, you could argue that I act like an a**hole
00:47:14.500 every single day on the show,
00:47:15.540 but it was.
00:47:16.820 By far the hardest part about both Am I Racist
00:47:19.020 and What is Woman were the scenes with normal people.
00:47:21.580 In fact, probably the hardest thing I did in either movie
00:47:24.780 was the scene at the biker bar in Am I Racist,
00:47:28.360 which was a great scene.
00:47:29.680 I love the scene,
00:47:30.520 but just a bunch of blue collar guys
00:47:33.700 who have no time for the nonsense
00:47:35.340 and here I am acting like an absolute buffoon.
00:47:39.100 That was difficult,
00:47:40.020 but it was all worth it for the footage.
00:47:42.960 Matt, we're obviously going to need
00:47:44.120 an entire news segment of the show
00:47:45.660 dedicated to the goats.
00:47:47.480 We don't.
00:47:48.240 We really don't.
00:47:48.820 I've said all there is to say about the goats.
00:47:52.660 The second goat arrived officially yesterday.
00:47:55.900 His name is Oreo.
00:47:58.980 So we have Oreo and waffles.
00:48:01.460 Couldn't even do two names that make sense together.
00:48:04.380 Chicken and waffles, bacon and waffles
00:48:06.320 to keep the breakfast theme going.
00:48:07.720 I don't know.
00:48:08.920 Couldn't even do that.
00:48:09.600 So we have Oreo and waffles.
00:48:12.180 And last night I was down in the pen
00:48:15.040 helping my daughter,
00:48:16.980 our 11-year-old daughter,
00:48:17.920 catch Oreo
00:48:20.760 so he could be bottle-fed.
00:48:24.520 Why the hell am I doing this?
00:48:27.020 This is what always happens with the animals.
00:48:28.380 This is the other thing that always happens.
00:48:29.420 Every dad knows this.
00:48:30.980 You say no to the animal.
00:48:32.080 You end up getting the animal.
00:48:33.800 You say,
00:48:34.600 okay, well,
00:48:35.080 I'm not going to have anything to do with this animal.
00:48:36.700 I'm not taking it.
00:48:37.300 But then,
00:48:37.780 you know,
00:48:38.360 it's just,
00:48:38.740 this is the way it works.
00:48:39.520 So we're two days in
00:48:40.900 and I'm already somehow involved
00:48:43.380 in bottle-feeding duty
00:48:46.460 for a goat.
00:48:49.540 And my daughter's getting all upset
00:48:51.180 because she's saying,
00:48:52.220 well,
00:48:52.340 he won't take the bottle.
00:48:53.520 Then fine.
00:48:54.540 Then he doesn't,
00:48:55.420 then he'll just go,
00:48:56.360 he's a goat.
00:48:57.580 Okay.
00:48:57.880 If he's hungry,
00:48:58.700 he'll eat.
00:48:59.560 What do we do?
00:49:00.040 What is happening?
00:49:01.680 What is happening to me?
00:49:05.240 My daughter insists that the goats
00:49:06.780 need to wear jackets at night
00:49:08.460 because it's cold.
00:49:11.120 She's trying to put a jacket on the goat
00:49:13.180 and he keeps kicking it off.
00:49:15.960 It wasn't even a goat jacket.
00:49:18.360 I don't know if they sell goat jackets.
00:49:21.180 Probably not.
00:49:23.620 This was like a regular human jacket
00:49:25.880 and I'm trying to explain to her
00:49:27.120 the anatomy of a person
00:49:28.340 is different from a goat.
00:49:29.240 I don't think the jacket's going to work.
00:49:32.560 And,
00:49:32.700 but he wouldn't wear it.
00:49:34.880 So she,
00:49:35.220 she kept saying,
00:49:35.760 oh, he'll be cold.
00:49:37.380 Okay.
00:49:37.660 Well then,
00:49:38.060 you know what?
00:49:39.180 Then he'll freeze
00:49:40.180 and we will have the meat
00:49:42.400 nicely preserved for tomorrow
00:49:44.060 and I can make us a nice goat stew.
00:49:47.780 Oreo will live on temporarily
00:49:49.280 in our stomachs.
00:49:53.340 I think the people deserve to see
00:49:56.940 a Matt Walsh morning routine video.
00:49:59.780 Nah,
00:50:00.060 people don't need to see that.
00:50:01.760 Like I said,
00:50:02.180 my morning routine is to sleep through
00:50:03.460 about nine different alarms
00:50:04.580 and then to,
00:50:05.660 and then to jump out of bed
00:50:07.800 on the ninth.
00:50:08.620 Well,
00:50:08.800 when I say jump out,
00:50:09.540 I mean like crawl out,
00:50:11.060 drag myself out,
00:50:12.640 my bones creaking like a
00:50:14.880 mummy crawling out of the tomb
00:50:16.880 after 3,000 years.
00:50:18.100 wandering half dead
00:50:20.120 to the kitchen.
00:50:22.720 My kids are trying to talk to me.
00:50:24.160 I'm grunting like some sort of
00:50:26.360 Yeti or something.
00:50:28.340 And then I drink coffee
00:50:29.320 and that's my,
00:50:30.320 and that's my morning routine.
00:50:31.700 That's the whole thing.
00:50:32.320 That's the video.
00:50:32.880 So there it is.
00:50:36.100 Maybe you notice how stories
00:50:37.200 you hear on the Daily Wire
00:50:38.020 sound nothing like
00:50:38.960 what the corporate media is selling.
00:50:40.660 Well,
00:50:40.760 that's no accident.
00:50:41.460 We give you the facts
00:50:42.420 and yes,
00:50:42.980 our unapologetic opinions.
00:50:44.820 While we report on the administration's
00:50:46.380 recent immigration policies
00:50:47.380 that are finally making
00:50:48.600 the border safer,
00:50:49.780 legacy outlets downplay the numbers
00:50:51.360 and ignore the results.
00:50:53.440 Why did it take record-breaking chaos
00:50:55.080 to get here in the first place?
00:50:56.380 Who's accountable for the damage
00:50:57.820 of the last four years?
00:50:59.200 This is why the Daily Wire exists.
00:51:00.680 No spin,
00:51:01.460 no censorship,
00:51:02.340 just the truth.

00:51:05.540 slash subscribe.
00:51:07.300 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:51:14.580 There are 435 voting members
00:51:17.160 of the House of Representatives
00:51:18.360 and the odds are very good
00:51:19.560 that you haven't even heard
00:51:21.140 of the vast majority of these people.
00:51:22.880 Unless a congressman
00:51:23.700 represents your district
00:51:24.600 or serves in a prominent
00:51:26.160 leadership position
00:51:27.060 like Mike Johnson,
00:51:28.360 then you have no reason
00:51:29.520 to think about them.
00:51:30.480 They simply aren't that important.
00:51:32.160 Their vote is many times
00:51:34.000 essentially meaningless
00:51:34.840 when it comes to
00:51:35.580 passing legislation.
00:51:36.520 That's especially true
00:51:37.140 of Democrats
00:51:37.740 and House of Representatives
00:51:38.480 who of course are in the minority.
00:51:40.540 So very little of their
00:51:41.560 day-to-day activity
00:51:42.240 has any degree of importance at all.
00:51:44.680 A lot of these people
00:51:45.240 just don't matter at all.
00:51:47.460 And for most of these
00:51:48.600 members of Congress,
00:51:49.460 that's not a problem.
00:51:50.320 They understand their job
00:51:51.160 is to represent their constituents,
00:51:52.280 not to attract attention
00:51:53.520 for no reason.
00:51:54.880 They're fine operating
00:51:56.200 in relative obscurity.
00:51:57.280 But for lawmakers
00:51:58.960 suffering from a wildly
00:52:00.080 inflated view
00:52:00.860 of their own self-importance,
00:52:02.320 for pathological narcissists
00:52:03.640 in other words,
00:52:04.820 obscurity is unbearable.
00:52:06.640 They need to be
00:52:07.080 the center of attention
00:52:07.920 at every opportunity.
00:52:09.400 And some of these narcissists
00:52:10.220 are actually somewhat subtle
00:52:11.940 about their intentions.
00:52:13.000 They're gifted with an IQ
00:52:14.100 above room temperature,
00:52:15.260 so they're capable of finding
00:52:16.940 relatively intelligent ways
00:52:18.260 to become the topic
00:52:18.960 of conversation.
00:52:20.040 They might introduce a bill
00:52:21.240 on some trendy topic,
00:52:22.320 or they might deliver
00:52:23.660 a carefully choreographed speech.
00:52:26.060 But there's a subset
00:52:27.180 of narcissists
00:52:27.780 in the House of Representatives
00:52:28.660 who are also
00:52:29.580 extremely painfully stupid.
00:52:31.500 And as a result,
00:52:32.840 in their bumbling attempts
00:52:33.900 to get headlines
00:52:35.200 written about them,
00:52:36.460 they constantly make fools
00:52:37.700 out of themselves
00:52:38.280 day after day.
00:52:39.680 And the whole time,
00:52:40.320 they think they're doing
00:52:40.780 a fantastic job.
00:52:41.660 They think that they're
00:52:42.400 fooling everybody.
00:52:44.000 Out of all 435 members
00:52:46.020 of the House,
00:52:47.080 there is no single lawmaker
00:52:49.040 at the moment
00:52:49.620 who embodies the persona
00:52:51.480 of an entitled narcissistic moron
00:52:53.320 more than Jasmine Crockett,
00:52:55.500 who we've talked about
00:52:56.400 plenty of times
00:52:58.340 in recent months.
00:52:59.360 Jasmine Crockett,
00:53:00.020 for lack of a better term,
00:53:00.960 is a trashy ghetto dimwit.
00:53:03.100 The last time we discussed
00:53:04.320 Jasmine Crockett,
00:53:05.460 it was to highlight
00:53:06.120 how she suddenly adopted
00:53:07.500 a fake black accent
00:53:08.700 the moment that she arrived
00:53:09.580 in Washington.
00:53:10.220 We've also discussed
00:53:10.920 how she bragged
00:53:11.920 about getting an honorary degree
00:53:13.140 from a college
00:53:13.820 that no one's heard of,
00:53:15.040 as well as her claim
00:53:15.780 that DEI would help
00:53:16.840 SpaceX land rockets on Mars.
00:53:18.840 All this to say,
00:53:19.520 the bar is extraordinarily low
00:53:21.600 for Jasmine.
00:53:23.320 No one is expecting her
00:53:24.220 to say anything intelligent
00:53:25.260 or to demonstrate
00:53:25.980 any degree of class whatsoever,
00:53:27.720 but even given that low bar,
00:53:29.240 Jasmine Crockett
00:53:29.860 has somehow managed
00:53:31.420 to limbo under it.
00:53:33.180 She spoke this weekend
00:53:34.020 at an event hosted
00:53:34.800 by the far-left group
00:53:35.780 called the Human Rights Campaign,
00:53:38.460 which pushes a variety
00:53:39.380 of propaganda related
00:53:40.440 to gender ideology
00:53:41.460 and the LGBT agenda.
00:53:43.200 And during her remarks,
00:53:44.100 Crockett decided to mock
00:53:45.340 the governor of Texas,
00:53:46.500 Greg Abbott,
00:53:47.340 because a tree fell on him
00:53:48.780 in 1984 while he was jogging,
00:53:50.320 crushing his vertebrae
00:53:51.300 and confining him
00:53:52.300 to a wheelchair.
00:53:53.660 Yes, Jasmine Crockett
00:53:54.580 sneered at Greg Abbott
00:53:55.660 because he has been
00:53:57.180 in a wheelchair
00:53:57.740 for the past 40 years.
00:53:59.520 Listen.
00:54:01.200 Because we in these
00:54:02.460 hot-ass Texas streets, honey.
00:54:07.280 Y'all know we got
00:54:08.400 Governor Hot Wheels
00:54:09.240 down there.
00:54:09.960 Come on now.
00:54:10.780 And the only thing
00:54:14.200 hot about him
00:54:15.240 is that he is
00:54:15.900 a hot-ass mess, honey.
00:54:17.960 So, um,
00:54:19.500 so yes.
00:54:21.660 Now, you'll notice
00:54:22.480 the laughter in the room
00:54:23.500 at the self-described
00:54:24.720 human rights campaign
00:54:25.980 as Jasmine refers
00:54:27.160 to Greg Abbott
00:54:28.020 as Governor Hot Wheels.
00:54:30.280 These are people
00:54:30.720 who will jump down
00:54:31.560 your throat for ableism
00:54:32.800 and for attacking
00:54:33.940 marginalized communities
00:54:35.060 and all that.
00:54:36.040 Try to destroy
00:54:36.620 your life over it,
00:54:37.460 actually.
00:54:37.980 But in this case,
00:54:38.740 it's fine because Greg Abbott
00:54:39.900 is a Republican.
00:54:41.380 And we always knew
00:54:41.940 that these people
00:54:42.480 think like this,
00:54:43.520 but even so,
00:54:44.180 it's pretty striking
00:54:45.060 to see them admit it
00:54:46.440 effectively.
00:54:48.720 Marginalized communities
00:54:49.520 is a term that means,
00:54:50.840 and has always meant,
00:54:52.480 people who vote
00:54:53.300 unanimously for Democrats.
00:54:55.200 That's it.
00:54:56.340 Anybody who supports
00:54:57.240 a conservative
00:54:57.780 by their definition
00:54:58.560 is not marginalized
00:54:59.320 and therefore,
00:55:00.480 they deserve to have
00:55:01.200 a tree crush them
00:55:02.120 while they're out jogging.
00:55:03.720 After this footage surfaced,
00:55:04.820 people noticed that
00:55:05.680 Jasmine Crockett
00:55:06.540 had somehow managed
00:55:07.340 to become an even trashier
00:55:08.580 and less respectable version
00:55:09.780 of herself,
00:55:10.880 which is a feat
00:55:11.480 that scientists
00:55:12.060 had previously believed
00:55:12.940 to be physically impossible.
00:55:14.700 So she put out
00:55:15.420 this tweet
00:55:16.160 as a form of damage control.
00:55:17.600 She wrote,
00:55:19.180 I wasn't thinking
00:55:19.760 about the governor's condition.
00:55:20.860 I was thinking about
00:55:21.380 the planes, trains,
00:55:22.400 and automobiles
00:55:23.040 he used to transfer
00:55:23.900 migrants into communities
00:55:25.040 led by black mayors,
00:55:26.320 deliberately stoking
00:55:27.080 tension and fear
00:55:28.660 among the most vulnerable.
00:55:30.860 So she's saying
00:55:31.480 that Governor Hot Wheels
00:55:32.520 is a nickname
00:55:33.280 that has nothing to do
00:55:34.020 with the fact
00:55:34.400 that he uses a wheelchair.
00:55:35.300 Instead,
00:55:35.620 the Hot Wheels
00:55:36.140 refer to cars,
00:55:37.720 planes,
00:55:38.000 and trains
00:55:38.760 that are carrying
00:55:40.240 illegals out of Texas.
00:55:43.060 This is a post
00:55:44.060 that in Jasmine Crockett's mind
00:55:45.480 is a totally convincing explanation.
00:55:48.120 She is cursed
00:55:48.640 with an IQ of about 80,
00:55:50.020 so she can't see
00:55:50.900 how this might strike
00:55:51.740 everyone else
00:55:52.340 as an obvious,
00:55:53.760 gratuitous lie.
00:55:55.400 But just for good measure,
00:55:56.440 the crack reporting team
00:55:57.500 at the Washington Free Beacon
00:55:58.420 decided to investigate
00:55:59.600 Jasmine's excuse.
00:56:01.260 And if Pulitzer's
00:56:02.840 mattered anymore,
00:56:03.560 they should get one
00:56:04.460 for their reporting on this
00:56:05.620 because it's a remarkable case
00:56:07.880 of shoe-leather journalism.
00:56:09.720 Here's what the Free Beacon found.
00:56:11.680 Representative Jasmine Crockett
00:56:12.820 liked Facebook comments
00:56:14.120 referring to wheelchair-bound
00:56:15.400 Texas Governor Greg Abbott
00:56:16.600 as Hot Wheels
00:56:17.400 in 2021,
00:56:18.920 a year before he started
00:56:19.940 bussing migrants
00:56:20.760 to Democratic cities,
00:56:21.940 the policy Crockett said
00:56:23.040 she was referring to
00:56:23.960 when she called Abbott
00:56:25.320 Hot Wheels herself.
00:56:26.640 Close quote.
00:56:27.900 In other words,
00:56:28.540 Jasmine Crockett
00:56:29.120 was endorsing the nickname
00:56:30.160 Hot Wheels
00:56:30.740 for Greg Abbott
00:56:31.420 long before he transported
00:56:33.380 illegals on planes,
00:56:34.600 trains, automobiles,
00:56:35.620 or any other kind
00:56:36.180 of transportation.
00:56:37.440 Take a look at this post,
00:56:38.320 for example.
00:56:38.880 This is the Zapruder film
00:56:40.620 of our era.
00:56:42.040 As you can see there,
00:56:43.820 the post from June of 2021
00:56:45.780 reads,
00:56:46.940 Hot Wheels something else.
00:56:48.940 And that was a reply
00:56:49.560 from some random person
00:56:50.660 to a post that Jasmine Crockett
00:56:52.000 wrote about Greg Abbott.
00:56:53.540 And indeed,
00:56:54.080 Jasmine Crockett
00:56:54.640 liked that post.
00:56:57.240 Now, additionally,
00:56:57.860 the Free Beacon
00:56:58.480 found another post
00:57:00.060 that Crockett liked
00:57:00.680 concerning Governor Hot Wheels.
00:57:02.200 And here's that one.
00:57:03.620 This is from July of 2021.
00:57:05.680 Somebody writes,
00:57:06.700 keep making Governor Hot Wheels mad.
00:57:08.940 And again,
00:57:09.380 Jasmine Crockett likes the post.
00:57:11.700 And there are a couple more
00:57:12.500 like this,
00:57:13.060 but you get the point.
00:57:14.480 Jasmine's excuse,
00:57:15.420 which was already
00:57:15.860 completely unconvincing
00:57:16.920 in every way,
00:57:17.740 is actually so bad
00:57:19.460 that the Washington Free Beacon
00:57:21.220 proved it false
00:57:22.280 within about 10 minutes.
00:57:24.680 As easy as it would be
00:57:25.820 to end the segment here
00:57:27.000 and to cancel Jasmine Crockett
00:57:28.200 for the 50th time,
00:57:29.420 it needs to be said
00:57:29.980 that this event
00:57:30.560 at the Human Rights Campaign
00:57:31.840 was apparently seen
00:57:33.880 as something of a
00:57:34.540 speaking opportunity
00:57:35.280 for potential
00:57:36.080 2028 presidential contenders
00:57:37.700 in the Democrat Party.
00:57:39.460 And while Jasmine Crockett
00:57:40.480 was the single
00:57:41.300 dumbest speaker
00:57:42.160 at the event
00:57:43.240 by a large margin,
00:57:44.280 even though they're all
00:57:44.940 really stupid,
00:57:46.340 she wasn't the only Democrat
00:57:47.520 to deliver an inane
00:57:48.800 and insulting message
00:57:49.860 seemingly without realizing it.
00:57:51.800 Here's Illinois Governor
00:57:53.060 J.B. Pritzker,
00:57:54.060 for example,
00:57:55.300 explaining why exactly
00:57:56.800 children should be exposed
00:57:58.440 to trans activists
00:57:59.640 and gay men
00:58:00.700 parading around
00:58:01.440 in their underwear
00:58:01.980 at pride parades.
00:58:03.440 Here's his reason,
00:58:04.420 his justification for it.
00:58:05.880 Watch.
00:58:07.080 My mother was an activist
00:58:09.080 for reproductive rights
00:58:10.720 and LGBTQ rights.
00:58:15.600 And she took me
00:58:16.780 to pride parades
00:58:17.880 back when,
00:58:18.900 well,
00:58:19.300 they weren't really parades,
00:58:20.880 they were protests.
00:58:21.800 So I have to laugh
00:58:25.420 when I hear
00:58:26.040 the right wing
00:58:26.860 carry on
00:58:27.580 about the dangers
00:58:28.440 of exposing kids
00:58:29.700 to trans people
00:58:30.720 or same-sex couples
00:58:32.320 because I'm living proof
00:58:33.940 that introducing
00:58:34.680 your kids
00:58:35.360 to the gay agenda
00:58:36.360 might result in them
00:58:37.680 growing up
00:58:38.180 to be governor.
00:58:40.380 Now,
00:58:40.860 when you watch clips
00:58:41.380 like this,
00:58:41.800 it's not hard
00:58:42.280 to understand
00:58:42.800 why Gavin Newsom
00:58:43.680 is doing a podcast
00:58:44.580 with right-wing guests
00:58:45.840 who he's pretending
00:58:46.480 to agree with
00:58:48.340 half the time.
00:58:49.480 When Democrats
00:58:50.440 get in a room
00:58:51.780 with other Democrats,
00:58:52.760 things like this
00:58:53.700 inevitably happen.
00:58:55.740 They come up
00:58:56.280 with ideas like
00:58:57.160 your kid might become
00:58:58.780 the governor one day
00:58:59.720 because you force him
00:59:00.520 to watch men parade
00:59:01.500 around in dresses
00:59:02.140 among various other
00:59:03.140 public displays
00:59:03.820 of fetishes.
00:59:05.000 That's not exactly
00:59:06.360 a compelling pitch
00:59:07.340 to Americans
00:59:07.880 who just overwhelmingly
00:59:08.920 rejected all of this
00:59:10.680 insanity
00:59:11.100 in the last election.
00:59:13.940 Like,
00:59:14.640 leaning into
00:59:15.260 the gay agenda
00:59:16.140 and directly advocating
00:59:18.560 to expose kids to it.
00:59:20.280 That's not,
00:59:21.280 that's the
00:59:21.760 opposite
00:59:22.200 of what
00:59:23.460 Americans
00:59:24.040 are looking for,
00:59:25.160 but it's the pitch
00:59:26.280 that the governor
00:59:27.060 of Illinois delivered.
00:59:28.520 As pride parades
00:59:29.280 are failing
00:59:30.200 all over the country,
00:59:31.140 this is his argument
00:59:32.380 for why they're
00:59:33.560 a net positive
00:59:34.240 for society.
00:59:35.480 Apparently,
00:59:35.880 these parades
00:59:36.500 produce governors
00:59:37.380 like J.B. Pritzker
00:59:38.320 who has destroyed
00:59:39.480 his state.
00:59:41.000 Illinois' population
00:59:41.740 has been dropping
00:59:42.480 consistently
00:59:42.920 for about a decade.
00:59:44.320 They currently
00:59:44.720 rank 46th
00:59:45.940 in the country
00:59:46.540 for out-migration,
00:59:48.620 meaning the number
00:59:49.160 of people
00:59:49.500 who are leaving
00:59:50.360 because they can't
00:59:51.840 stand to live there
00:59:52.580 anymore is,
00:59:53.280 you know,
00:59:54.080 enormous.
00:59:55.280 That's accounting
00:59:55.800 for population size,
00:59:56.780 by the way.
00:59:57.860 Only four states,
00:59:58.780 Hawaii,
00:59:59.300 Alaska,
00:59:59.820 California,
01:00:00.280 and New York
01:00:00.920 have residents
01:00:01.540 leaving at a higher
01:00:02.460 rate than Illinois.
01:00:04.680 And J.B. Pritzker
01:00:05.300 has been in office
01:00:05.940 for six years
01:00:06.900 and the problems
01:00:08.520 only gotten worse
01:00:09.520 under his leadership.
01:00:11.720 That's the kind
01:00:12.400 of governor
01:00:12.760 that your state
01:00:13.540 can have too
01:00:14.100 if we just elect
01:00:15.180 someone who,
01:00:15.960 you know,
01:00:16.500 was raised on watching
01:00:17.580 gay pride parades.
01:00:19.180 This is the pitch
01:00:20.100 from J.B. Pritzker
01:00:21.040 and the so-called
01:00:21.640 human rights campaign,
01:00:22.820 which has always
01:00:23.820 been a front
01:00:24.320 for perversion
01:00:25.020 and relentless propaganda
01:00:26.140 on behalf
01:00:26.720 of the Democrat Party,
01:00:27.740 and now they're
01:00:28.860 making it explicit.
01:00:30.560 Their message
01:00:31.040 is that Greg Abbott
01:00:32.680 is bad
01:00:33.140 because he's disabled,
01:00:34.560 but J.B. Pritzker
01:00:35.620 is good
01:00:36.140 because he thinks
01:00:36.740 children should be
01:00:37.420 exposed to
01:00:38.260 sexual degeneracy.
01:00:41.120 So Jasmine Crockett
01:00:41.940 may not accomplish much,
01:00:43.280 but credit where it's due.
01:00:45.260 I mean,
01:00:45.420 this weekend,
01:00:46.040 albeit inadvertently,
01:00:47.560 she managed to expose
01:00:48.480 the all-encompassing
01:00:49.720 depravity of the
01:00:50.400 Democrat Party
01:00:51.040 and its various organs,
01:00:52.420 which use the concept
01:00:53.800 of human rights
01:00:54.740 as a shield
01:00:55.320 for all manner
01:00:56.760 of degeneracy
01:00:57.520 and cruelty.
01:00:59.240 And now they're on tape
01:01:00.440 essentially acknowledging
01:01:01.280 that fact,
01:01:01.840 and that is why
01:01:02.440 the so-called
01:01:03.460 human rights campaign,
01:01:04.580 along with J.B. Pritzker
01:01:05.740 and the irredeemably
01:01:06.980 trashy Jasmine Crockett
01:01:08.180 are all today
01:01:08.900 canceled.
