The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1589 - How The Shiloh Hendrix Case Killed Cancel Culture

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, major controversy over a viral video of a woman using a racial slur

00:00:04.720 at a playground. Now the woman has raised over half a million dollars. Is this evidence that 0.98

00:00:08.840 white supremacy is alive and well in America? Or does it show us something else? Well, I'm going

00:00:14.040 with something else and we'll talk about it. Also, Trump announces a plan to reopen the prison

00:00:18.300 island Alcatraz and Democrats come out to denounce Trump for posting a meme of himself dressed as

00:00:23.360 the Pope. Suddenly the Democrat Party has discovered a deep love and respect for the

00:00:27.560 Catholic Church. What's that all about? We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:10.380 By now, you may have heard the name Shiloh Hendricks. Up until last week, no one outside of her friends

00:02:16.240 and personal acquaintances knew she existed. Now she's at the center of one of the more intense

00:02:21.400 social media controversies that we've seen in recent years. And it all began in the late afternoon

00:02:26.100 on April 28th, when the woman we now know as Shiloh Hendricks took her young child to a park in

00:02:31.820 Rochester, Minnesota. And at some point, a black child, reportedly five years old, tried to steal

00:02:38.040 something from her diaper bag. Shiloh apparently responded in anger. And as the story goes, she called

00:02:44.380 the boy the N-word. Now, a man named Sharmaki Omar, a Somali immigrant and not the boy's father,

00:02:51.000 allegedly witnessed this altercation and decided to pull out his phone. And the resulting video has

00:02:55.340 gone extremely viral across every major social media platform. Here it is.

00:03:01.580 You call him a n***a child? Did you call the child a n***a word? It is my own business. You call him a n***a? 1.00

00:03:09.080 Okay, why don't you have the boss to say it right now again? 1.00

00:03:13.020 F*** you n***a. 1.00

00:03:14.420 Okay. F***. All right, that's what you say. 1.00

00:03:18.900 He'll go digging through people s***. F***. Nobody dig into your s***. 1.00

00:03:22.900 A little f***ing kid just did, you dumbass. 1.00

00:03:24.860 That little kid, you call him a n***a? The little child? 1.00

00:03:28.080 What if he acts like one is gonna...

00:03:29.460 Are you about to hit him? You chase him here?

00:03:31.300 He took my son's stuff. 0.99

00:03:33.260 So that gives you the right to call a child five-year-old and f*** the n***a word? 0.86

00:03:37.500 If that's what he's gonna act like. 0.98

00:03:38.480 That's what you're gonna call him?

00:03:39.600 If that's what he's gonna act like.

00:03:41.400 You know, that's a hate speech. And you can be recorded for that.

00:03:44.460 I don't give a s***. 0.96

00:03:45.720 Huh. 1.00

00:03:47.760 F***. Okay, we'll see about that, what the internet has to say about you. 0.99

00:03:50.700 Now, before we continue with this story, which takes several more twists and turns,

00:03:54.520 we should note a few things. First of all, we don't actually know for sure that the boy is five years old.

00:04:00.180 That's coming from the man filming, who is apparently not related to the child.

00:04:03.500 In the video, we appear to get a glimpse of the kid.

00:04:05.880 And from the glimpse, anyway, he definitely looks older than five.

00:04:10.480 Omar has additionally claimed that the boy is autistic, which we also have no proof of.

00:04:14.540 And we have no footage of the actual encounter between the kid and this woman.

00:04:18.380 Did she scream the n-word in his face? 0.95

00:04:20.280 Did she mutter it under her breath?

00:04:22.620 Did she say it about the child after he'd already run away?

00:04:25.760 We don't know.

00:04:26.500 And as far as I've seen, we haven't heard anything from the boy's parents.

00:04:31.580 We don't know where they were in all of this, if they were even there, which is very strange.

00:04:37.120 So there are many aspects of this story that are bizarre and unconfirmed.

00:04:42.340 And here's another disturbing detail.

00:04:44.060 The Somali man behind the camera, Omar, was charged a couple of years ago with sexually assaulting a minor.

00:04:49.340 And according to the local news channel, KTTC, those charges were dismissed.

00:04:54.060 A separate report by the local ABC affiliate adds that the charges were dismissed, quote,

00:04:58.480 in the interest of justice, whatever the hell that means.

00:05:01.620 But whatever it means, now Omar, who was previously charged with a sexually assaulting a minor,

00:05:07.960 is at a playground with his camera out filming.

00:05:10.920 So make of all of that what you will.

00:05:13.160 So there are quite a few details that still need to be filled in here, but the saga continues anyway.

00:05:19.400 Anyway, what happened next is quite predictable.

00:05:22.780 The social media mob went to work.

00:05:24.520 They set out to identify this, at the time, anonymous woman and ruin her life or worse.

00:05:30.280 Here's one of the guys who got things kicked off.

00:05:33.240 Watch.

00:05:34.420 God help us.

00:05:35.480 She claims that that other child took her son's belongings.

00:05:38.160 That's what kicked this off.

00:05:39.640 The guy who recorded the video is familiar with the other child.

00:05:42.160 When he brings his children there, that child and his siblings are often there and play together.

00:05:47.980 The kid she's going after has autism.

00:05:52.040 He doesn't behave in a neurotypical way.

00:05:54.220 And even if he didn't have autism, nothing he could have done would justify her calling him slurs

00:05:59.700 and pursuing him physically, which is what she says she was doing before this guy intervened. 0.95

00:06:04.460 He said after he stopped recording, she sat down, hurled more slurs,

00:06:08.320 told him and his wife that they should leave the country.

00:06:10.420 And then got on the phone and acted like she was calling someone to come down there and handle things. 1.00

00:06:17.940 Fortunately, no one came.

00:06:19.640 And eventually she packed up her child and left. 0.93

00:06:22.140 But this woman is a danger to children. 1.00

00:06:25.600 She doesn't need to be on a playground or around other kids.

00:06:28.260 And she has at least one child of her own, which is also concerning.

00:06:33.220 So Rochester, Minnesota, someone do me a favor.

00:06:35.520 Take a close look at her tattoos.

00:06:38.340 You can see her face clearly.

00:06:39.860 Someone please tell me who she is. 0.98

00:06:43.880 Okay, so she's a danger to children. 0.98

00:06:47.280 She shouldn't be allowed at playgrounds. 0.55

00:06:49.700 She shouldn't be allowed at playgrounds. 0.55

00:06:51.460 Not the guy that was charged with sexually assaulting a minor.

00:06:55.180 But he says, please, Internet, find her.

00:06:57.380 And countless others joined in.

00:06:58.800 And in some cases, they were calling for the woman to be imprisoned for saying a bad word.

00:07:04.400 Watch.

00:07:05.980 Share, share, share.

00:07:07.340 Trying to find the woman who called the little boy the N-word, the five-year-old little boy, artistic boy.

00:07:13.920 She needs to be found and locked up. 1.00

00:07:16.060 So please tap in.

00:07:18.500 Now, there are many other videos of people hoping that she would be found and physically assaulted or killed.

00:07:23.800 Some were even threatening violence against her baby that you can see in the video.

00:07:29.600 Here's one example.

00:07:31.380 You said, hey, TikTok, I just got a real quick question.

00:07:33.960 So we all know what happened with Shiloh Hendricks and how she got all this money, right?

00:07:38.720 Off to all the wrong reasons.

00:07:40.560 But you know what?

00:07:41.640 It is what it is at this point, right?

00:07:43.820 So I'm just sitting here thinking, what about the baby?

00:07:47.440 What about the baby?

00:07:48.840 Because technically, that baby is going to grow up and be part of the triple K. 0.99

00:07:52.880 That baby might grow up to be Hitler. 0.96

00:07:55.100 That baby is going to grow up and probably be the worst of the worst out there in the world. 0.97

00:07:58.860 And you know what?

00:07:59.560 I don't want that baby policing children that look like me. 0.93

00:08:01.860 I don't want that baby growing up doing anything else to people that look like me.

00:08:06.320 All because it was taught that.

00:08:08.680 But since, unfortunately, CPS is not going to be able to do nothing, what should we do?

00:08:13.360 I think you guys should let me know in the comments.

00:08:15.040 Because part of my thinking was, start a GoFundMe.

00:08:18.840 You know, raise about a million dollars. 0.99

00:08:20.640 Go slap the hell out of that baby. 1.00

00:08:22.020 Make that baby brainless or something for a while. 1.00

00:08:24.000 At least you still get to live.

00:08:25.100 I mean, it just might be a little, you know, but hey, that's what happens when you grow 1.00

00:08:29.980 up with racist ass parents. 0.99

00:08:31.480 You got to eat their consequences. 1.00

00:08:35.660 Now, I would say that encouraging people to beat a baby unconscious is worse than saying

00:08:41.040 a bad word to a child, a lot worse.

00:08:43.420 And yet there's no mob forming against that guy or the dozens of other people who hit like

00:08:48.640 on that video.

00:08:49.340 So this is all unfolded as you would expect up to this point, leading to the predictable

00:08:53.600 news that the Rochester Police Department is now actively investigating the woman.

00:08:57.860 And others began calling for CPS to get involved and remove her child from the home.

00:09:01.180 For example, there's a guy we'll put up on the screen who wrote a letter to CPS, which

00:09:04.920 he published on his website, claiming again that Shiloh is a danger to her own child and

00:09:09.040 that the child should be taken out of the home.

00:09:11.200 And pretty soon, with thousands upon thousands of people whipped into a pitchfork mob, she had

00:09:16.040 been identified by name.

00:09:17.140 But not just her name, her phone number was posted all over the internet, her address,

00:09:21.000 her social security number, her alleged places of employment.

00:09:24.620 People were calling her phone and making death threats and then bragging about it openly.

00:09:28.940 Again, so far this story is following the script that we all know by heart.

00:09:34.620 A random person is caught on camera doing something rude or offensive.

00:09:38.640 The video is posted by some third party, usually somebody who wasn't even involved in the incident.

00:09:43.480 And then thousands of sociopaths set out to destroy the person's life and possibly

00:09:46.940 get them killed, all for sport, as a form of sadistic entertainment.

00:09:51.940 Nobody stops to think about the consequences. 0.99

00:09:55.200 There's no consideration of proportionality.

00:09:58.320 Saying the N-word to a child in a moment of anger is bad.

00:10:01.800 Is it so bad that it warrants the total and permanent destruction of a person's life?

00:10:06.500 Is it so bad that they deserve to have their physical safety and the safety of their family

00:10:09.980 put in jeopardy?

00:10:11.440 Is it so bad that they deserve to have their child assaulted? 0.70

00:10:14.160 Is it that kind of bad?

00:10:15.960 Now to the social media mob, the answer is always yes.

00:10:19.620 It's always yes, that is, provided that the offending stranger fits certain parameters.

00:10:23.700 And the most important parameter is that the person, the offender, is white. 0.93

00:10:28.960 And we all know how this script ends.

00:10:30.720 The offender, in a desperate attempt to call off the dogs,

00:10:33.500 tearfully apologizes and begs for mercy, a mercy that they surely will not receive.

00:10:37.900 But that is where the M. Night Shyamalan twist ending comes into play.

00:10:44.240 Because Shiloh Hendricks did not apologize.

00:10:46.720 Instead, she posted a crowdfunding campaign on Give, Send, Go,

00:10:49.820 where she doubled down and defended her actions 1.00

00:10:52.460 and asked for help to relocate and get her family to safety.

00:10:56.780 And then a double twist.

00:10:58.340 A different group formed to counter the outrage mob.

00:11:02.400 They started donating to her campaign.

00:11:04.140 And she surpassed her original funding goal in less than a day.

00:11:07.720 Within three days, she had earned over half a million dollars.

00:11:10.240 Now she's somewhere north of $600,000. 0.98

00:11:13.740 So the woman who was supposed to have her life ruined by the mob 1.00

00:11:16.460 is instead on her way to potentially becoming a millionaire. 1.00

00:11:21.720 Now, this twist, as you can imagine, has outraged the outrage mob even more.

00:11:26.780 But a large number of prominent people on the right are also horrified by this turn of events.

00:11:32.040 Just as one example, Colin Wright tweeted,

00:11:34.800 The woke right is now mirroring the woke left's tendency to glorify and martyr immoral degenerates

00:11:39.600 solely based on shared racial identity.

00:11:42.520 This woke one-upmanship is a race to the very bottom.

00:11:46.300 Many conservative influencers and commentators, many of them who I like and respect,

00:11:51.340 have echoed this sentiment.

00:11:52.680 They say that, you know, the people donating to this woman are behaving no better than the left.

00:11:57.420 They say that this is the right's version of the Carmelo Anthony fundraiser

00:12:00.720 that also raised half a million dollars, even though he stabbed somebody to death,

00:12:04.380 which I hope we can agree is far, far worse than saying a bad word.

00:12:08.880 Some have even speculated that this whole thing is some kind of psyop

00:12:11.920 meant to delegitimize the movement and make conservatives look racist.

00:12:16.120 To that, I must assure them, despite how it may seem,

00:12:18.920 that not everything is a psyop.

00:12:21.280 There are things that really just happen in life.

00:12:24.720 Some things do just happen, and I think this is one of them.

00:12:29.700 Now, I understand that some people on my side feel, to put it scientifically,

00:12:37.780 icky about this whole thing.

00:12:39.940 I understand why they feel icky.

00:12:42.460 I understand why they don't want to condone saying racial slurs to children.

00:12:46.740 I don't want to condone it either, and I don't.

00:12:48.580 And nobody really does.

00:12:50.380 But I think they're missing the point.

00:12:53.740 You know, I don't think they understand what's actually happening here or why.

00:12:58.140 It is, in the end, a net positive that this woman has raised half a million dollars.

00:13:03.380 I'm glad she has.

00:13:04.540 I hope she raises a million.

00:13:06.280 I will not be joining with some of my conservative friends and wagging my finger at her donors,

00:13:10.620 and I'll explain why.

00:13:15.120 First of all, she does have a legitimate need for the money. 0.99

00:13:18.360 The mob is truly trying to get her killed.

00:13:21.280 I don't believe that a woman should have her life threatened for saying a word, even a bad one.

00:13:25.860 You could say freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences for your speech, all you want.

00:13:30.560 But if losing your livelihood and having your house burned down is a consequence of your speech, then you do not have free speech.

00:13:38.920 Supporting free speech means supporting someone's ability to speak without having their family murdered for it.

00:13:46.700 Okay?

00:13:46.840 I mean, that should be pretty obvious.

00:13:49.580 Second, more importantly, and, you know, this is the part that I really need everyone to stop and think about.

00:13:58.960 This is the most devastating attack on cancel culture that we have seen, possibly ever.

00:14:07.800 Shiloh Hendricks has, without really trying, effectively ended cancel culture.

00:14:12.420 As Mark Dice said in his video about the incident, Shiloh is the final boss of cancel culture,

00:14:17.520 or maybe rather the final boss that cancel culture has to fight.

00:14:21.880 And I think that's right.

00:14:23.940 And this is the part that many conservatives seem to be missing.

00:14:26.540 All they see is that this woman said something bad and is now getting rewarded for it.

00:14:32.320 The whole thing is so unsavory that they can't help but recoil.

00:14:35.780 And, yeah, it is unsavory.

00:14:38.160 You wish that Shiloh had said or done something that we could affirmatively defend.

00:14:41.920 That would be much easier.

00:14:43.660 Nobody wants to affirmatively defend cussing out a five-year-old, even though I don't think the kid's actually five.

00:14:48.960 But none of that is the point.

00:14:51.820 The point is that the only way to put an end to this routine,

00:14:56.480 the routine where the outrage mob mobilizes and assembles to destroy somebody's life,

00:15:02.020 is to disincentivize the routine.

00:15:05.220 And the only way to disincentivize that behavior is to reward the person who's being targeted.

00:15:12.340 Now, we can complain all we want about the mob tactics and how they silence and punish people

00:15:17.420 and exact vengeance in wildly disproportionate ways.

00:15:20.740 We can condemn it.

00:15:21.900 We can write think pieces about it.

00:15:23.580 We can deliver monologues.

00:15:25.640 None of that matters.

00:15:27.580 None of that will stop them.

00:15:29.260 The only thing that can stop them,

00:15:31.380 the only thing that will make them think twice about doing this again,

00:15:35.240 is if they know that instead of getting their target canceled,

00:15:39.740 they might accidentally make them rich.

00:15:42.240 And more important, even than the money,

00:15:44.440 they must know that their attempt to isolate and ostracize somebody will fail.

00:15:50.220 That for every person condemning the targeted person,

00:15:54.360 two more will rally to their defense.

00:15:57.540 You know, the motto of the cancel mob for a long time

00:16:00.760 has always been,

00:16:02.960 make this person famous.

00:16:04.160 And a lot of them were saying that about Shiloh.

00:16:06.700 Let's make her famous. 1.00

00:16:08.660 Now, the assumption is that the fame

00:16:11.020 will have an exclusively negative effect on the person's life.

00:16:14.860 Making them famous means making them unsafe,

00:16:17.220 making them bankrupt,

00:16:18.360 making them persona non grata.

00:16:20.800 With this case,

00:16:22.440 that assumption has been flipped on its head.

00:16:26.000 Because now the mob knows

00:16:27.920 that making them famous

00:16:29.640 might help them more than hurt them.

00:16:32.520 Rather than the fame being punished,

00:16:35.200 it's rewarded.

00:16:38.180 That's the only way to stop this.

00:16:40.380 The making them famous tactic

00:16:42.220 now has a powerful disincentive attached.

00:16:47.340 Think of it this way.

00:16:49.460 Justine Sacco is widely considered

00:16:51.520 the patient zero of cancel culture.

00:16:53.560 Back in 2013,

00:16:54.340 she was on a flight to Africa

00:16:56.020 when she tweeted jokingly

00:16:57.420 that she hopes she doesn't get AIDS 0.55

00:16:59.200 when she gets to Africa.

00:17:01.420 And when she landed hours later,

00:17:03.640 you're probably familiar with the story,

00:17:05.460 she discovered that her tweet

00:17:07.320 had gone viral across the country.

00:17:09.420 The mob had made her famous 1.00

00:17:10.980 and she lost her job.

00:17:12.920 She was cast out of polite society.

00:17:14.380 Her life as she knew it was over.

00:17:16.640 And our culture as we knew it

00:17:18.720 had also been changed irrevocably.

00:17:21.700 Now, I wish that somebody

00:17:25.780 had started a crowdfunding campaign for her

00:17:27.900 all the way back in 2013.

00:17:30.420 I wish that while half the internet

00:17:32.220 was trying to wreck her life 0.99

00:17:33.280 over a dumb joke, 0.99

00:17:34.220 the other half had made her rich. 0.79

00:17:36.340 I wish people had donated

00:17:37.680 half a million dollars to her.

00:17:38.800 I wish they donated a million.

00:17:40.040 I wish they donated 50 million.

00:17:42.420 And that's not because I think

00:17:43.760 an AIDS joke is worth 50 million dollars.

00:17:46.100 It wasn't that good of a joke.

00:17:47.580 It's not because I think that

00:17:48.680 Justine Sacco is some great hero.

00:17:51.380 It's because that would have

00:17:53.660 destroyed cancel culture

00:17:55.260 in its infancy.

00:17:57.080 The entire incentive structure

00:17:59.220 around this online

00:18:00.860 left-wing version of mob justice

00:18:03.080 would have been broken

00:18:04.480 right at the start.

00:18:06.740 If they made her famous

00:18:08.160 and she profited from the fame 0.96

00:18:10.240 rather than being ruined by it,

00:18:12.640 then the make her famous tactic 1.00

00:18:14.840 would have died right there

00:18:16.700 and that would have been

00:18:17.280 the end of it.

00:18:18.900 But it didn't die there.

00:18:20.720 Instead, the mob was emboldened.

00:18:23.320 Mob justice worked out

00:18:24.600 really well for the mob

00:18:25.780 nearly every time

00:18:26.980 for the next decade and a half.

00:18:29.820 Now that's finally changed.

00:18:32.060 And you don't have to like Shiloh

00:18:33.980 or agree with her choice of words

00:18:35.380 to see that.

00:18:37.800 Speaking of her choice of words,

00:18:39.320 there is another point that

00:18:40.600 I think has to be made here.

00:18:43.000 The mob that tried unsuccessfully

00:18:47.600 to cancel Shiloh Hendricks

00:18:49.100 was far, far more outraged

00:18:51.860 over Shiloh saying the N-word

00:18:53.260 than they were over Carmelo Anthony

00:18:54.720 stabbing somebody to death.

00:18:56.040 Indeed, many of them 0.97

00:18:56.680 actively supported Carmelo Anthony

00:18:58.140 murdering Austin Metcalf.

00:19:00.160 They rewarded him financially for it.

00:19:03.160 And this is all part

00:19:04.520 of the preposterous racial double standard

00:19:07.180 that has defined American culture

00:19:09.160 for generations now.

00:19:10.720 It is a double standard

00:19:11.880 that declares it a greater crime

00:19:14.220 for a white person to say a word 0.97

00:19:16.340 than for a black person 1.00

00:19:18.000 to kill a white person. 1.00

00:19:19.440 In fact, killing a white person 1.00

00:19:20.520 could even be a just punishment 1.00

00:19:22.220 for saying that word

00:19:23.420 according to these standards.

00:19:25.540 The rules surrounding this word,

00:19:27.640 the moral weight granted to it,

00:19:29.220 the arbitrary guidelines

00:19:30.560 drawn around it,

00:19:31.580 it's all nonsense.

00:19:33.620 It's all indefensible

00:19:35.100 on both moral and intellectual grounds.

00:19:38.220 People are fed up with it.

00:19:39.380 That's what you're seeing

00:19:41.600 in this story.

00:19:42.300 People are just fed up with it.

00:19:45.140 Now, that child, 0.57

00:19:46.280 if he's like the average black child

00:19:47.680 in this country,

00:19:48.620 did not hear the N-word

00:19:50.660 for the first time

00:19:51.500 from a white woman

00:19:52.440 at the park last week.

00:19:54.720 Okay?

00:19:55.140 He's no doubt heard it

00:19:56.180 thousands of times.

00:19:57.620 He likely hears it every day.

00:19:59.060 He probably hears it

00:19:59.880 in his own home.

00:20:01.720 Are we supposed to believe

00:20:02.900 that he's heard the word

00:20:04.200 a thousand times,

00:20:04.960 but it's time 1001

00:20:06.500 that really traumatized him?

00:20:08.600 I mean, the idea

00:20:09.160 that the word

00:20:09.600 is a common greeting

00:20:10.560 for one race,

00:20:11.400 but unspeakably evil

00:20:12.780 if uttered by a different race 0.99

00:20:14.520 is laughably ridiculous. 0.97

00:20:17.500 The idea that one race 0.99

00:20:19.060 can say the word

00:20:19.760 10,000 times a day

00:20:20.920 and the other race 0.97

00:20:22.200 cannot speak the syllables

00:20:23.600 under any circumstance,

00:20:25.140 even if they're just repeating

00:20:26.260 what someone else said

00:20:27.100 or singing along

00:20:27.820 to a rap song,

00:20:29.040 that idea, again,

00:20:30.380 is totally indefensible,

00:20:32.640 which is why no one

00:20:33.920 has ever tried to defend it.

00:20:36.000 Instead, it's just yet another

00:20:37.300 racial rule of the road

00:20:40.480 that we're supposed to follow

00:20:42.680 without ever asking

00:20:43.520 any questions about it

00:20:44.620 or expecting anyone

00:20:45.460 to explain it

00:20:46.440 or justify it.

00:20:47.500 People are sick of that.

00:20:49.260 It's just that simple.

00:20:50.620 They are sick of it.

00:20:53.160 Now, it is simple.

00:20:55.900 If it's wrong to say the word,

00:20:58.340 then it's wrong

00:20:59.240 for anyone to say it. 0.94

00:21:00.860 If black people 1.00

00:21:01.660 want white people 0.98

00:21:02.920 to not say the word,

00:21:04.980 then they need to

00:21:06.180 not say it.

00:21:09.820 If you say it,

00:21:11.620 everyone else can say it.

00:21:13.300 Point blank.

00:21:14.380 It's that simple.

00:21:15.460 That's how life works.

00:21:17.320 Deal with it.

00:21:18.780 No, you can't do that.

00:21:19.680 You can't say,

00:21:20.360 we can do this thing,

00:21:21.640 but you can't.

00:21:22.260 It doesn't work that way.

00:21:23.560 It does not work that way.

00:21:25.340 Well, it did work that way

00:21:26.300 for a long time.

00:21:27.560 It was indefensible,

00:21:28.840 and it's just not going

00:21:29.960 to work that way anymore.

00:21:31.660 Sorry.

00:21:34.540 And no matter who is saying it,

00:21:36.300 it's not any worse

00:21:37.420 than any other slur

00:21:38.440 or vulgarity.

00:21:39.260 It's not special.

00:21:40.060 The word is not magical.

00:21:41.240 It's not some kind

00:21:41.720 of mystical curse.

00:21:43.280 It's not some kind

00:21:43.960 of dark incantation

00:21:45.280 that conjures evil spirits

00:21:46.660 from the netherworld.

00:21:47.660 It's just a word.

00:21:49.280 It's a vulgar word.

00:21:50.260 It's a rude word.

00:21:50.980 It's a word that I believe

00:21:51.760 polite people shouldn't say

00:21:52.760 for the same reason

00:21:53.320 they shouldn't use

00:21:54.400 any other vulgarity.

00:21:55.440 I'm using N-word right now

00:21:56.740 instead of saying

00:21:57.260 the actual word

00:21:57.840 for the same reason

00:21:58.360 that I would say F-word

00:21:59.320 or C-word

00:21:59.980 instead of those actual words.

00:22:01.740 Those are vulgar words.

00:22:03.240 But that's all.

00:22:05.300 The reflexive,

00:22:06.520 indefensible,

00:22:07.460 capricious, 0.81

00:22:08.920 vacillating, 0.97

00:22:09.920 racial double standards

00:22:11.040 are over.

00:22:11.840 People are fed up with them.

00:22:13.800 They are fed up with the game,

00:22:15.280 and they don't want

00:22:16.220 to play it anymore.

00:22:17.440 And that's all

00:22:19.580 that this word has become.

00:22:20.660 That's all that our

00:22:21.200 quote-unquote

00:22:21.720 race relations have become.

00:22:23.700 A game.

00:22:25.280 A game with arbitrary rules

00:22:27.480 and incredibly excessive punishments

00:22:29.080 for anyone who breaks them.

00:22:30.440 It's like the societal equivalent

00:22:32.180 of a child

00:22:33.060 trying to walk on the sidewalk

00:22:35.000 without stepping on a crack.

00:22:36.580 Eventually the kid

00:22:37.240 gets bored with it,

00:22:37.980 starts walking normally again

00:22:39.040 because it turns out

00:22:39.800 that if you step on a crack,

00:22:40.900 you're not really going

00:22:41.500 to break your mother's back. 0.95

00:22:42.720 The rules are fake.

00:22:44.500 And eventually people

00:22:45.540 get tired of following them.

00:22:47.880 Telling white people 0.51

00:22:49.020 and white people only

00:22:49.980 that they can't combine 0.59

00:22:51.720 two specific syllables

00:22:52.900 under any circumstance,

00:22:54.300 it's like telling them

00:22:55.060 they can't touch their head

00:22:56.160 unless someone says

00:22:57.000 Simon Says.

00:22:58.420 Okay?

00:22:58.740 They're not going to play

00:22:59.780 the game forever.

00:23:02.320 White guilt is the fuel 0.78

00:23:03.780 that keeps all this going. 0.97

00:23:05.160 White guilt is what 0.99

00:23:05.920 convinces white people 0.96

00:23:06.920 to follow arbitrary rules 0.88

00:23:08.420 that make no sense,

00:23:09.800 to tolerate,

00:23:10.600 even defend a system

00:23:11.820 that's rigged against them

00:23:12.880 with blatant double standards.

00:23:14.600 It's what's compelled 0.63

00:23:15.740 white people 0.78

00:23:16.320 to acquiesce 0.88

00:23:17.140 to a culture

00:23:17.700 that says that,

00:23:18.440 you know,

00:23:18.920 every race can and should

00:23:20.500 defend and root

00:23:21.300 for their own

00:23:21.820 but white people 0.86

00:23:22.540 and white people only 0.98

00:23:23.960 should not be conscious 0.98

00:23:25.440 of their race at all.

00:23:27.860 None of it is fair

00:23:29.300 or morally coherent.

00:23:31.780 And the Carmelo Anthony case

00:23:33.820 where a black teen

00:23:36.140 raked in half a million dollars

00:23:37.940 as a reward 0.99

00:23:39.060 for stabbing a white kid 1.00

00:23:41.400 to death 0.98

00:23:42.180 was for a lot of people

00:23:45.920 the final straw.

00:23:48.260 The final straw

00:23:49.560 of many, many straws.

00:23:52.040 It is no surprise

00:23:53.340 that the Shiloh Hendricks case

00:23:54.740 comes on the heels of that.

00:23:57.400 You know,

00:23:58.000 a lot of people online

00:23:59.040 are fretting that

00:24:00.520 this is the beginning

00:24:02.120 of some kind of race war.

00:24:05.180 But I don't think

00:24:06.660 it's a race war 0.86

00:24:07.340 and it's certainly

00:24:07.840 not the beginning.

00:24:08.520 I mean,

00:24:10.040 there's been a war

00:24:10.720 waged on whiteness

00:24:11.880 for a long time

00:24:12.680 in this country.

00:24:14.460 So this cannot be

00:24:15.500 the beginning of anything.

00:24:17.880 But it may be

00:24:18.720 the end of something.

00:24:20.500 The end of

00:24:21.560 racial level standards.

00:24:23.340 The end of

00:24:24.100 cancel culture.

00:24:26.500 This is an ugly story

00:24:28.020 in a lot of ways.

00:24:29.860 But if history

00:24:30.760 has shown us anything,

00:24:32.300 it's that ugly things

00:24:33.720 die ugly deaths. 0.88

00:24:37.220 Now let's get to 0.94

00:24:38.060 our five headlines.

00:24:45.040 Tax day may have passed,

00:25:02.040 bank levies,

00:25:02.680 and wage garnishments,

00:25:03.940 the IRS is applying

00:25:04.920 pressure at levels

00:25:05.740 we haven't seen in years.

00:25:43.420 makes the next move.

00:25:46.120 President Donald Trump,

00:25:47.660 CNN reports,

00:25:48.440 by the way,

00:25:48.860 President Donald Trump

00:25:49.600 said in a social media post

00:25:50.840 Sunday that he's directing

00:25:51.940 the Bureau of Prisons

00:25:52.980 to rebuild and reopen Alcatraz,

00:25:54.940 as the infamous former prison

00:25:56.160 has a place to house

00:25:57.680 America's most ruthless

00:25:58.860 and violent offenders.

00:26:00.840 He said in the Post on Truth Social,

00:26:03.520 I'm directing the Bureau of Prisons

00:26:04.640 together with the Department of Justice,

00:26:06.040 FBI, and Homeland Security

00:26:06.880 to reopen or substantially enlarge

00:26:08.340 and rebuild Alcatraz

00:26:09.800 to house America's most ruthless

00:26:11.120 and violent offenders.

00:26:12.660 We'll no longer be held hostage

00:26:14.060 to criminals, thugs, and judges

00:26:15.260 that are afraid to do their job

00:26:16.440 and allow us to remove criminals.

00:26:20.280 Trump said Alcatraz

00:26:21.240 has been a sad symbol,

00:26:22.380 but it's a symbol of law and order,

00:26:23.440 and it's got quite a history,

00:26:25.520 frankly, so I think

00:26:26.360 we're going to do that.

00:26:29.700 Alcatraz located on an island

00:26:30.840 off of the San Francisco coast,

00:26:34.240 operated as a federal penitentiary

00:26:35.440 for nearly 30 years

00:26:36.340 before closing in 1963

00:26:37.420 because the institution

00:26:38.200 was too expensive

00:26:38.900 to continue operating.

00:26:40.600 It estimated $3 million

00:26:41.520 to $5 million was needed

00:26:42.620 just for restoration

00:26:43.680 and maintenance work

00:26:44.520 to keep the prison open,

00:26:45.880 not including daily operating costs.

00:26:48.720 Alcatraz was nearly three times

00:26:50.040 more expensive to operate

00:26:51.060 than any other federal prison,

00:26:52.320 according to the Bureau of Prisons.

00:26:55.540 Now, you'll not be shocked

00:26:58.140 to learn that I quite like this idea.

00:26:59.940 I think that the concerns

00:27:02.280 about the cost, first of all,

00:27:03.740 are not serious.

00:27:05.540 You know, it's funny

00:27:06.140 when the left suddenly becomes

00:27:07.480 a bunch of penny pinchers.

00:27:09.160 We spend trillions of dollars a year,

00:27:11.240 but they object, you know,

00:27:13.680 they don't object until we allocate it

00:27:15.700 to something like prisons.

00:27:16.640 And I'm kind of the opposite, really,

00:27:19.020 in that prisons are one

00:27:21.200 of the few things

00:27:22.020 that as a taxpayer

00:27:22.860 I don't mind splurging on.

00:27:26.040 And that's why I'm never dissuaded

00:27:27.520 when somebody says,

00:27:28.340 oh, the prisons are overcrowded.

00:27:31.180 Okay, build more then.

00:27:33.200 Like, what do you mean?

00:27:33.820 Just, we got plenty of space,

00:27:35.160 just, it's overcrowded?

00:27:36.680 Okay, build more.

00:27:38.520 Build 50 more.

00:27:39.420 I mean, who cares?

00:27:41.240 Build as many as we need.

00:27:42.480 The federal government allocates

00:27:45.560 like $9 billion a year

00:27:46.920 to the Bureau of Prisons.

00:27:49.980 That's it, $9 billion.

00:27:52.200 And to put that in perspective,

00:27:53.780 we spend more than $9 billion

00:27:55.420 in a single month

00:27:57.280 on food stamps.

00:28:00.380 Okay?

00:28:01.260 We spend more than $9 billion

00:28:02.640 in three days on welfare.

00:28:05.380 So don't tell me that $9 billion

00:28:06.460 is some great expense.

00:28:08.760 And don't, definitely don't tell me

00:28:10.340 that $5 million to, like,

00:28:12.180 do maintenance

00:28:13.300 is a back-breaking expenditure.

00:28:17.540 I mean, that's how much

00:28:18.260 we spend on welfare

00:28:19.200 in five minutes.

00:28:21.540 Literally.

00:28:22.860 Every five minutes,

00:28:23.960 we spend $5 million

00:28:24.920 on the welfare system.

00:28:27.260 So, you know,

00:28:28.380 so the money is irrelevant here.

00:28:30.360 The value of sending prisoners 0.86

00:28:32.260 to Alcatraz

00:28:32.860 is really the symbolism.

00:28:34.760 And symbolism is important.

00:28:37.720 Now, yeah,

00:28:38.100 there's the practical consideration.

00:28:39.900 It's harder to escape

00:28:40.960 when you're on a prison island.

00:28:42.840 But it's hard to escape

00:28:43.880 from any maximum security prison.

00:28:46.460 The point is largely symbolic.

00:28:48.040 It's sending the message

00:28:48.860 that we are serious

00:28:49.840 about punishing criminals.

00:28:51.000 It's sending the message

00:28:51.780 that prison is a punishment.

00:28:55.060 You know,

00:28:55.380 I like the idea

00:28:56.060 of bringing back Alcatraz 0.83

00:28:57.060 for the same reason

00:28:57.580 I like the idea

00:28:58.100 of bringing back labor camps 0.97

00:28:59.880 and bringing back

00:29:01.620 chain gangs.

00:29:04.640 You know,

00:29:05.120 where people are chained up

00:29:06.080 on the side of the road

00:29:06.800 picking up trash or whatever.

00:29:08.360 I think, you know,

00:29:09.600 I think it's,

00:29:10.300 I think that's a great idea.

00:29:11.840 There are practical benefits,

00:29:13.060 of course.

00:29:13.480 You know,

00:29:13.640 you get free labor,

00:29:14.500 which is great.

00:29:16.440 I know some people

00:29:17.320 freak out about prison labor

00:29:18.840 and they say,

00:29:19.220 oh, it's slave labor. 1.00

00:29:21.320 Well, it's not exactly.

00:29:22.480 I mean,

00:29:22.840 constitutionally,

00:29:23.560 it's not slave labor. 0.92

00:29:24.520 The constitution specifically

00:29:25.640 allows for forced labor

00:29:27.360 in prisons.

00:29:29.200 Also,

00:29:29.680 historically across the world,

00:29:31.060 slaves were captured

00:29:31.820 by raiding parties

00:29:32.900 and by,

00:29:33.920 you know,

00:29:34.220 prisoner.

00:29:35.060 They were made,

00:29:35.820 they were captured

00:29:36.420 during war,

00:29:37.180 prisoners of war.

00:29:39.300 But prisoners in this country

00:29:40.780 are in prison

00:29:41.340 because they chose

00:29:42.240 to commit a crime.

00:29:43.480 So it's not,

00:29:44.460 it's not literally

00:29:45.300 slave labor. 0.73

00:29:46.640 But whatever you want

00:29:47.380 to call it,

00:29:49.000 like,

00:29:49.300 I don't really care

00:29:50.020 because there's an easy way

00:29:51.860 to avoid it.

00:29:52.580 just don't be

00:29:54.760 a dysfunctional 0.99

00:29:56.420 human being. 1.00

00:29:57.040 Don't be a scumbag criminal. 1.00

00:29:58.960 And if you are, 1.00

00:30:00.080 you need to be punished.

00:30:01.480 You need to be taught a lesson. 0.99

00:30:02.780 You need to suffer 0.74

00:30:03.480 for your crimes.

00:30:04.420 And that's the real value

00:30:05.540 of forced labor

00:30:06.620 and it's the value

00:30:07.460 of sending prisoners

00:30:09.300 to Alcatraz,

00:30:09.980 I think.

00:30:12.800 All right.

00:30:17.260 Let's see.

00:30:17.840 We also have,

00:30:18.540 speaking of money,

00:30:21.480 NBC News reports

00:30:22.520 President Donald Trump

00:30:23.200 signed an executive order

00:30:24.220 late Thursday

00:30:24.960 to end the public funding

00:30:26.720 of National Public Radio

00:30:28.460 and PBS

00:30:28.880 to stop what he called

00:30:29.920 biased and partisan

00:30:31.040 news coverage.

00:30:32.900 The White House

00:30:33.620 said in a Friday statement

00:30:34.360 that both organizations

00:30:35.260 had received tens of millions

00:30:36.300 of dollars in taxpayer funds

00:30:37.580 each year

00:30:38.040 to spread radical,

00:30:39.020 woke propaganda

00:30:39.700 disguised as news.

00:30:42.280 So he's going to try

00:30:43.320 to put an end to that

00:30:44.000 and that's the executive order.

00:30:45.040 Long overdue.

00:30:46.740 But it's led to the

00:30:48.000 expected histrionics

00:30:49.040 from the usual suspects.

00:30:50.440 So here's

00:30:51.680 Cory Booker's tweet

00:30:52.680 just as an example.

00:30:55.600 Public broadcasters

00:30:56.380 like PBS and NPR

00:30:57.500 give every American

00:30:59.520 access to culture,

00:31:01.040 history,

00:31:01.600 art,

00:31:01.880 and trusted journalism.

00:31:03.440 They're a cornerstone

00:31:04.380 of civic life.

00:31:05.400 Defunding them

00:31:05.940 does a disservice

00:31:06.780 to us all,

00:31:07.660 especially in rural communities.

00:31:09.420 We must defend them.

00:31:11.220 Not defund,

00:31:12.260 but defend them.

00:31:13.620 And this is how you know

00:31:14.500 that PBS and NPR

00:31:15.400 should be defunded.

00:31:17.540 Their supporters

00:31:18.380 cannot muster

00:31:19.440 any reason

00:31:20.280 why they should be funded.

00:31:23.860 You know,

00:31:24.180 at least they can't give

00:31:24.920 any reason

00:31:25.640 from this century.

00:31:28.220 I'd like to ask

00:31:29.120 Cory Booker,

00:31:29.860 how many Americans

00:31:30.800 total

00:31:31.420 rely on PBS

00:31:33.800 and NPR

00:31:34.400 for access

00:31:35.360 to culture,

00:31:36.340 history,

00:31:37.020 art,

00:31:37.360 and journalism?

00:31:39.040 Specifically,

00:31:39.840 how many

00:31:40.780 can only access

00:31:41.960 those things

00:31:42.740 through the broadcast

00:31:44.040 version

00:31:44.780 of NPR

00:31:45.780 and PBS?

00:31:47.820 Because this would have

00:31:48.640 to be a category

00:31:49.180 of people

00:31:49.660 who,

00:31:50.000 number one,

00:31:51.480 want to watch

00:31:52.380 NPR and PBS,

00:31:53.340 and number two,

00:31:54.940 don't have the internet.

00:31:57.300 Because if you have

00:31:58.080 the internet,

00:31:58.560 then NPR and PBS

00:31:59.220 are not giving you

00:32:00.200 access to anything

00:32:01.260 that you can't find

00:32:02.280 a million other places

00:32:03.400 instantly for free,

00:32:05.580 which is,

00:32:06.020 which is,

00:32:06.460 which,

00:32:06.760 by the way,

00:32:07.060 is enough reason

00:32:07.880 to defund them.

00:32:09.660 I mean,

00:32:10.160 we don't even need

00:32:10.640 to get into

00:32:11.160 the left-wing bias,

00:32:13.220 which is also

00:32:14.400 enough reason

00:32:15.080 to defund them,

00:32:16.060 but these things

00:32:18.000 came about

00:32:19.180 at a time

00:32:19.800 before the internet,

00:32:20.960 and the internet

00:32:22.080 just makes them

00:32:22.820 irrelevant.

00:32:24.000 Like,

00:32:24.500 there's not anything

00:32:25.320 that you can find

00:32:26.200 on PBS and NPR

00:32:26.920 that you can't find

00:32:27.620 in half a second,

00:32:29.880 you know,

00:32:30.720 on the internet,

00:32:31.440 right?

00:32:33.500 So,

00:32:34.020 why do we have it?

00:32:35.940 And even if you

00:32:36.740 don't have the internet,

00:32:37.600 if you're a conservative,

00:32:38.540 you still aren't relying

00:32:39.260 on NPR and PBS,

00:32:40.380 so we're really talking

00:32:42.060 about left-leaning

00:32:43.060 Americans

00:32:43.800 without the internet.

00:32:46.880 Those are the only ones

00:32:48.200 who arguably rely

00:32:50.080 on NPR and PBS

00:32:51.360 for access

00:32:52.240 to all these

00:32:53.100 different things.

00:32:54.680 So,

00:32:55.180 how many people

00:32:55.580 is that?

00:32:57.220 Like,

00:32:57.560 last number I saw,

00:32:58.600 I think,

00:32:58.880 from Pew,

00:32:59.520 it said that 96%

00:33:00.720 of Americans

00:33:01.300 use the internet,

00:33:03.080 and the 4% 0.99

00:33:06.240 who don't

00:33:06.880 are almost exclusively

00:33:08.220 like way out

00:33:09.260 in the country

00:33:09.780 and probably

00:33:10.600 over the age of 70.

00:33:11.460 And those types

00:33:13.180 probably aren't

00:33:13.700 big NPR fans.

00:33:16.300 So,

00:33:16.920 I'm guessing

00:33:17.700 that the number

00:33:18.680 of Americans

00:33:20.180 that Booker

00:33:20.740 is referring to

00:33:21.780 is maybe 3.

00:33:24.080 And I don't mean

00:33:24.580 3%,

00:33:25.060 I mean 3.

00:33:26.000 So,

00:33:27.640 should we keep

00:33:28.240 spending millions

00:33:28.860 of dollars

00:33:29.340 to make sure

00:33:30.660 that these

00:33:31.260 three people

00:33:32.080 can still get

00:33:34.080 NPR and PBS?

00:33:34.980 I think,

00:33:35.740 I would say no.

00:33:37.060 My answer to that

00:33:38.000 is no.

00:33:40.380 All right.

00:33:41.040 A little more

00:33:44.200 political news.

00:33:46.080 Stephen A.

00:33:46.620 Smith is continuing

00:33:47.480 his unofficial

00:33:48.400 presidential campaign.

00:33:49.560 He was back

00:33:50.020 on the Sunday

00:33:50.720 shows again

00:33:51.620 this past weekend

00:33:52.360 where he explained

00:33:54.660 his political

00:33:56.940 philosophy,

00:33:57.900 such as it is.

00:33:59.280 Let's listen

00:33:59.820 to that.

00:34:01.200 If you were

00:34:02.000 to run for president,

00:34:02.900 though,

00:34:03.040 it would be

00:34:03.460 as a Democrat

00:34:04.040 or no?

00:34:07.040 You know what?

00:34:07.860 I'm an independent.

00:34:08.640 I'm a registered

00:34:09.080 independent.

00:34:09.620 I would lean,

00:34:10.600 who leans left.

00:34:11.740 I'm fiscally

00:34:12.680 conservative

00:34:13.200 when it comes

00:34:13.860 to my money.

00:34:15.200 I'm socially liberal.

00:34:16.640 I'm liberal

00:34:17.040 when it comes

00:34:17.580 to social issues

00:34:18.460 pretty much

00:34:19.080 across the board.

00:34:19.900 I believe in living

00:34:20.560 and let living.

00:34:21.560 So,

00:34:21.800 I'm a moderate

00:34:22.500 and I would say

00:34:23.180 if I had to run

00:34:24.100 it would be

00:34:24.620 as a Democrat

00:34:25.660 but I'm not happy

00:34:26.820 with the Democratic

00:34:27.560 Party.

00:34:28.040 So,

00:34:28.180 the Democratic Party

00:34:28.920 is presently

00:34:29.580 constructed.

00:34:30.860 It would pretty much

00:34:32.140 need to be purged

00:34:33.140 in order for me

00:34:34.020 to assume

00:34:34.980 that I would want

00:34:35.660 to be associated

00:34:36.340 with them

00:34:37.080 and I would garner

00:34:38.080 their support

00:34:38.700 because I don't like

00:34:39.460 the way they've

00:34:39.960 gone about

00:34:40.420 doing a lot

00:34:41.080 of things

00:34:41.760 for a very,

00:34:42.780 very long period

00:34:43.480 of time

00:34:43.960 and I think

00:34:44.460 that I don't view

00:34:45.380 Donald Trump

00:34:46.020 as winning the election.

00:34:47.520 I view the Democrats

00:34:48.660 as losing the election,

00:34:50.400 as absolutely

00:34:51.080 positively blowing it

00:34:52.660 with some of their actions

00:34:54.140 and that's why

00:34:54.920 I think that,

00:34:55.920 you know,

00:34:56.140 again,

00:34:56.480 if somebody was

00:34:57.140 to associate me

00:34:57.920 with that,

00:34:58.820 the party

00:34:59.580 has presently

00:35:00.200 constructed

00:35:00.680 where Lee's

00:35:01.500 so extremely left

00:35:02.700 or at least

00:35:03.060 has spent

00:35:03.360 the vast majority

00:35:04.020 of time doing that,

00:35:05.200 oh,

00:35:05.380 that is not something

00:35:06.120 that I would vibe

00:35:06.880 with at all.

00:35:07.480 I would definitely

00:35:08.440 be looking

00:35:09.140 to be a game changer

00:35:10.720 in that regard.

00:35:12.680 Okay,

00:35:13.420 so Stephen A. Smith

00:35:14.440 there serving up

00:35:17.780 the blandest,

00:35:19.040 most basic,

00:35:20.580 most 2011 era

00:35:22.460 talking points

00:35:23.240 that he possibly could

00:35:24.280 and it's funny

00:35:25.700 when I hear people

00:35:26.660 saying that,

00:35:27.380 you know,

00:35:27.640 a Stephen A. Smith

00:35:28.260 campaign would be

00:35:29.120 exciting or revolutionary

00:35:30.340 somehow,

00:35:31.940 like he's this

00:35:33.280 formidable talent

00:35:34.620 with great insight.

00:35:37.040 Where are we seeing

00:35:38.040 the political talent?

00:35:38.820 Where's the insight?

00:35:40.780 He says nothing.

00:35:42.740 The parties are both corrupt.

00:35:44.880 I'm a moderate.

00:35:46.000 I think the truth

00:35:46.660 is in the middle somewhere.

00:35:48.700 Oh, wow.

00:35:49.300 How brave.

00:35:49.860 How bold.

00:35:51.760 Like,

00:35:52.020 I haven't seen anyone

00:35:52.700 this edgy

00:35:53.140 since John McCain.

00:35:55.280 Stephen A. Smith

00:35:55.800 is John McCain.

00:35:57.620 If John McCain 0.96

00:35:58.500 was black 0.93

00:35:59.100 and mostly talked

00:35:59.840 about basketball,

00:36:00.820 then he would be

00:36:01.900 Stephen A. Smith.

00:36:02.340 And by the way,

00:36:04.620 fiscally conservative

00:36:05.480 but socially liberal,

00:36:07.180 that again

00:36:08.380 is not anything

00:36:09.620 new or exciting.

00:36:11.520 This is the exact

00:36:12.840 brand of

00:36:13.920 like faux

00:36:14.900 moderate

00:36:15.480 slop

00:36:16.560 that

00:36:17.960 allowed our culture 1.00

00:36:19.080 to be marched

00:36:19.700 into the cesspit

00:36:20.620 that we're currently

00:36:21.260 trying to climb out of.

00:36:23.700 Fiscally conservative

00:36:24.560 but socially liberal

00:36:25.780 just means

00:36:26.820 that he's a leftist

00:36:29.540 who doesn't like

00:36:31.120 paying taxes.

00:36:32.660 That's all that it means.

00:36:34.600 A leftist

00:36:35.480 who doesn't like

00:36:35.900 paying taxes.

00:36:37.560 Which,

00:36:38.160 good for him,

00:36:38.660 I don't like

00:36:39.020 paying taxes either.

00:36:41.880 But that doesn't

00:36:42.740 make him not

00:36:43.460 a leftist.

00:36:45.420 And besides,

00:36:46.560 these fiscally

00:36:47.360 conservative types

00:36:48.380 who don't like taxes,

00:36:50.160 have you noticed

00:36:50.480 they never end up

00:36:51.920 doing anything

00:36:52.740 about the tax system.

00:36:55.480 Tax rates go up

00:36:56.600 or down

00:36:57.000 by a few percentage points

00:36:58.160 but the system

00:36:59.480 is never

00:37:00.140 fundamentally changed.

00:37:01.640 So this is all

00:37:04.240 just nothing

00:37:05.280 and I've got

00:37:06.480 nothing against

00:37:07.000 Stephen A.

00:37:07.440 Smith

00:37:07.560 but there's

00:37:09.620 nothing here.

00:37:11.300 I'm sure he's

00:37:12.100 a nice guy.

00:37:14.080 I bet I'd like him

00:37:15.280 if I met him

00:37:15.920 in person

00:37:16.340 because I'm sure

00:37:17.180 he's a nice

00:37:17.560 friendly guy

00:37:18.100 and if I did

00:37:20.700 meet him

00:37:21.160 I would tell him

00:37:22.200 to his face

00:37:22.740 that he's not

00:37:23.940 presidential material.

00:37:25.400 He's not bringing

00:37:26.240 anything new

00:37:26.860 or interesting

00:37:27.480 to the table.

00:37:30.500 What is Stephen A.

00:37:31.700 Smith's

00:37:32.060 core issue?

00:37:34.420 Right?

00:37:34.840 When you're running

00:37:35.200 for office

00:37:35.680 or when you're

00:37:36.160 potentially going

00:37:36.820 to run for office

00:37:37.520 there should be

00:37:39.940 some kind of

00:37:40.420 core issue

00:37:41.300 that's driven you

00:37:43.540 to take the leap

00:37:45.980 into running

00:37:46.820 for office.

00:37:48.220 So what is it?

00:37:49.160 What is he fired up

00:37:50.100 about exactly?

00:37:50.860 I don't trust

00:37:53.840 any politician

00:37:54.600 or any wannabe

00:37:55.300 politician

00:37:55.780 who doesn't have

00:37:56.680 a core issue

00:37:57.600 and just saying

00:37:59.420 something like

00:38:00.000 both parties

00:38:00.680 are corrupt

00:38:01.220 I don't

00:38:02.800 I don't

00:38:03.460 I got no use

00:38:04.600 for either of them.

00:38:05.840 Oh wow.

00:38:07.340 I've never heard

00:38:08.140 that before.

00:38:09.080 Wow.

00:38:11.160 That

00:38:11.400 that's only something

00:38:12.960 that literally

00:38:13.620 every human

00:38:14.620 in the country

00:38:16.580 says every day.

00:38:18.040 I mean we get it.

00:38:19.300 We all

00:38:19.660 yeah sure.

00:38:21.360 That's not

00:38:22.120 anything though.

00:38:23.020 That is nothing.

00:38:25.580 So that's not

00:38:26.700 a core issue.

00:38:27.340 What is a core issue?

00:38:29.220 Is a core issue?

00:38:30.060 I don't know.

00:38:31.320 Or forget about core.

00:38:32.680 I mean

00:38:33.000 can he name

00:38:35.740 three specific issues

00:38:37.300 that are important

00:38:38.200 to him?

00:38:41.040 You know

00:38:41.680 core issue or not?

00:38:43.620 Can he name

00:38:44.440 three specific issues

00:38:45.240 that are important to him?

00:38:46.240 Probably not.

00:38:49.100 No one seems

00:38:49.940 to have asked him that.

00:38:50.860 So

00:38:52.660 but again

00:38:54.740 I've talked about this

00:38:55.580 a few times

00:38:56.160 and I always regret

00:38:57.400 talking about it

00:38:58.240 and

00:38:59.600 and yet

00:39:00.300 here I go again

00:39:01.020 running my mouth

00:39:01.740 because

00:39:02.300 it

00:39:03.520 I have no interest

00:39:05.380 in trying

00:39:05.960 not that Democrats

00:39:06.700 are listening to me

00:39:07.300 but

00:39:07.520 I have no interest

00:39:08.920 in trying to

00:39:09.340 trying to dissuade them

00:39:10.580 from going this route

00:39:12.360 and the way

00:39:14.140 and the way that

00:39:14.260 this guy's name

00:39:14.940 keeps popping up

00:39:15.920 and he keeps

00:39:16.440 appearing on these

00:39:17.160 Sunday shows

00:39:17.760 and they're

00:39:18.120 having these

00:39:18.960 serious political

00:39:19.740 conversations

00:39:20.160 or trying to have

00:39:21.220 serious political

00:39:21.740 conversations with him

00:39:22.600 while he says nothing

00:39:23.820 he's not saying anything

00:39:25.780 so it really seems

00:39:28.820 that this is

00:39:29.360 that this is

00:39:30.680 serious

00:39:31.360 that they

00:39:31.940 you know

00:39:33.140 and he's obviously

00:39:33.860 got backers

00:39:34.820 he's obviously

00:39:35.260 got people in his ear

00:39:36.200 he's obviously

00:39:37.720 got you know

00:39:38.680 some powerful Democrats

00:39:39.940 I don't know who

00:39:40.600 but he's got people

00:39:41.700 encouraging him

00:39:42.420 and so

00:39:44.320 it seems like

00:39:46.500 this is something

00:39:46.960 that they're seriously

00:39:47.600 considering

00:39:48.020 and I hope they do

00:39:49.180 because it will

00:39:50.120 it will be a

00:39:51.340 it will just be

00:39:52.360 a total wipe

00:39:53.180 a landslide

00:39:54.160 an absolute

00:39:56.560 landslide

00:39:58.940 against the Democrats

00:40:01.000 if they do this

00:40:01.780 so

00:40:02.200 so

00:40:02.660 please do

00:40:10.000 their head count

00:41:27.180 to shut it down

00:41:33.560 we're on the front lines

00:41:34.520 with hard-hitting investigations

00:41:42.940 this is your moment

00:41:44.140 join the fight

00:41:44.880 at dailywireplus.com

00:41:46.760 now let's get to

00:41:47.760 our daily cancellation

00:41:48.600 now one way to tell

00:41:56.780 that things are going

00:41:57.640 pretty well

00:41:58.240 in a presidential administration

00:41:59.340 is by looking at 1.00

00:42:00.520 how dumb 0.99

00:42:01.160 the controversies are 1.00

00:42:02.220 if the opposition party

00:42:03.480 is pretending to be upset

00:42:04.500 about something

00:42:05.000 that doesn't matter

00:42:05.800 then it's a pretty good sign

00:42:06.820 that everything is running

00:42:07.700 pretty smoothly

00:42:08.260 and by that metric at least

00:42:10.160 the second trump administration

00:42:11.100 is currently in the running

00:42:12.360 for the smoothest running

00:42:13.540 administration

00:42:13.960 in the history of the country

00:42:15.380 and that's because

00:42:16.440 over the last several days

00:42:17.520 Democrats have gone

00:42:19.240 on the war path

00:42:20.060 not over any

00:42:20.820 White House policy

00:42:21.660 or over any kind of

00:42:22.520 development in the real world

00:42:23.700 but instead

00:42:24.260 over an AI-generated meme

00:42:26.920 featuring the likeness

00:42:28.800 of the President

00:42:29.580 of the United States

00:42:30.460 now

00:42:30.760 before I go any further

00:42:32.200 I need to specify

00:42:33.260 the precise AI-generated meme

00:42:35.020 I'm talking about

00:42:35.620 I'm not talking about

00:42:37.300 this image

00:42:38.120 it's the one that features

00:42:39.340 the President

00:42:39.800 holding a red lightsaber

00:42:41.240 in a Star Wars outfit

00:42:43.040 showing off his gigantic muscles

00:42:44.840 while he's flanked

00:42:45.780 by two bald eagles

00:42:47.260 and I'm assuming

00:42:49.560 this is AI

00:42:50.140 I actually don't know

00:42:50.800 that for a fact

00:42:51.520 but I think

00:42:53.140 I think it's AI

00:42:54.160 and this was posted

00:42:55.920 on the White House

00:42:56.740 White House's official

00:42:58.140 social media accounts

00:42:59.000 but to be clear

00:42:59.860 that's not the image

00:43:00.700 nor is it intended

00:43:02.000 to be a statement

00:43:02.700 of White House policy

00:43:03.920 or anything like that

00:43:05.020 I'm also not talking

00:43:06.620 about the animation

00:43:07.420 of Donald Trump

00:43:08.140 signing executive orders

00:43:09.340 accompanied by

00:43:10.020 relaxing lo-fi music

00:43:11.440 which was posted

00:43:12.560 on the White House's account

00:43:13.460 the other day

00:43:14.040 nor am I talking

00:43:15.080 about the image

00:43:15.560 of Donald Trump

00:43:16.100 wearing a sombrero

00:43:16.980 and sipping tequila

00:43:17.840 which is making the rounds

00:43:19.840 for Cinco de Mayo

00:43:21.020 instead

00:43:22.140 the AI generated image

00:43:23.620 that has enraged Democrats

00:43:24.680 is this one

00:43:25.800 featuring Donald Trump

00:43:27.520 dressed as the Pope

00:43:28.760 and we'll put that

00:43:30.740 on the screen

00:43:31.240 there it is

00:43:33.400 it's the kind of thing

00:43:34.940 that you know

00:43:35.520 any AI program

00:43:36.460 can make

00:43:37.020 in about five seconds

00:43:37.840 and it's pretty clear

00:43:38.940 why the White House

00:43:39.660 made it

00:43:40.000 speaking to reporters

00:43:40.780 outside the White House

00:43:41.840 after Pope Francis' death

00:43:43.560 Trump said

00:43:44.120 quote

00:43:44.420 I'd like to be Pope

00:43:45.680 that would be my number one choice

00:43:47.000 and then after he was done

00:43:48.680 messing with reporters

00:43:49.340 he said

00:43:49.760 I must say

00:43:50.540 we have a cardinal

00:43:51.220 that happens to be

00:43:51.860 out of the place

00:43:52.460 called New York

00:43:53.000 who's very good

00:43:53.600 so we'll see what happens

00:43:54.540 and that's a reference

00:43:55.160 to Cardinal Timothy Dolan

00:43:56.360 everything was fine afterwards

00:43:58.460 until the White House

00:43:59.440 posted the meme

00:44:00.960 and that's when

00:44:02.200 all hell broke loose

00:44:03.000 as the AP reports

00:44:04.000 quote

00:44:04.220 the image featuring Trump

00:44:05.960 in a white cassock

00:44:07.040 and pointed mitre

00:44:08.380 or bishop's hat

00:44:09.180 was the topic

00:44:10.520 of several questions

00:44:11.380 during the Vatican's

00:44:12.260 daily conclave

00:44:13.020 briefing on Saturday

00:44:14.360 Italian and Spanish

00:44:15.680 news reports

00:44:16.300 lamented its poor taste

00:44:17.580 and said it was offensive

00:44:18.920 given that the period

00:44:19.820 of official mourning

00:44:20.600 is still underway

00:44:21.440 now what's great

00:44:23.260 about this report

00:44:23.900 is that it implies

00:44:24.680 that the image

00:44:25.420 would have been

00:44:26.040 completely fine

00:44:26.720 as soon as the

00:44:27.420 nine days of mourning

00:44:28.380 came to an end

00:44:29.140 they're really just upset

00:44:30.480 about the timing

00:44:31.120 of the meme apparently

00:44:31.960 the minute the official

00:44:33.200 period of mourning

00:44:33.740 stops though

00:44:34.460 all bets are off

00:44:35.280 I guess

00:44:35.640 now of course

00:44:36.860 no matter when

00:44:38.220 it's posted

00:44:38.740 the truth is that

00:44:40.040 there's nothing

00:44:41.260 especially offensive

00:44:42.660 about this meme

00:44:43.980 as an actual

00:44:45.100 lifelong practicing

00:44:45.960 Catholic myself

00:44:46.660 I found the meme

00:44:47.880 benign

00:44:49.260 I mean it's not

00:44:50.300 especially hilarious

00:44:51.100 but it's also not

00:44:52.380 some sort of

00:44:52.880 sacrilegious attack

00:44:53.980 on my faith

00:44:54.800 it's not even

00:44:56.040 mocking the Pope

00:44:56.940 either

00:44:57.240 Trump isn't dressed

00:44:58.100 as Pope Francis

00:44:59.040 in the meme

00:44:59.840 he's dressed as

00:45:01.200 the Pope

00:45:01.720 right

00:45:02.480 and if anything

00:45:03.840 it's actually

00:45:04.460 I would say

00:45:05.500 more self-deprecating

00:45:06.780 humor

00:45:07.160 poking at Trump

00:45:08.840 because the whole

00:45:09.520 point of the joke

00:45:10.380 is that

00:45:10.860 you know

00:45:12.320 it's absurd

00:45:13.040 to imagine

00:45:13.940 Donald Trump

00:45:15.540 as the Pope

00:45:16.120 so if anything

00:45:17.320 it's not

00:45:18.680 the joke is not

00:45:20.040 oh the Pope 0.99

00:45:21.340 is ridiculous 1.00

00:45:21.980 the joke is 0.93

00:45:23.620 it would be ridiculous 0.91

00:45:24.780 for Trump 0.94

00:45:25.480 to be the Pope

00:45:26.180 if I have to

00:45:28.180 explain the joke

00:45:28.940 that's the joke

00:45:29.660 now

00:45:31.200 that said

00:45:32.040 there was at least

00:45:32.620 one aspect of this meme

00:45:33.740 that was truly impressive

00:45:34.640 is it's that

00:45:35.620 against all odds

00:45:36.620 this AI generated meme

00:45:38.400 has managed

00:45:39.640 to instantly

00:45:40.360 transform Democrats

00:45:41.420 into card-carrying

00:45:43.240 tradcasts

00:45:44.960 yes the same people

00:45:45.900 who champion

00:45:46.400 the murder of children 0.79

00:45:47.380 and the castration

00:45:48.160 of children

00:45:49.280 virtually overnight

00:45:50.780 has become

00:45:52.420 orthodox

00:45:53.380 traditionalist

00:45:55.140 Catholic

00:45:55.580 intent on

00:45:56.900 rebuking anyone

00:45:57.740 who dares to misuse

00:45:59.020 papal imagery

00:46:00.120 on the internet

00:46:00.840 suddenly the Democrat

00:46:02.360 is like full of people

00:46:03.460 who go to the Latin mass 0.93

00:46:04.660 who knew

00:46:05.240 so

00:46:06.260 here's Governor

00:46:07.380 Kathy Hochul

00:46:08.100 of New York

00:46:08.700 for example

00:46:09.220 quote

00:46:09.620 this is deeply

00:46:11.300 offensive to me

00:46:12.040 and to my fellow

00:46:12.600 Catholics around the world

00:46:13.580 as we continue

00:46:14.480 to mourn

00:46:14.960 our beloved

00:46:15.540 Pope Francis

00:46:16.460 now if you're

00:46:17.940 keeping track

00:46:18.440 this is the same

00:46:19.260 Kathy Hochul

00:46:20.200 who told a Brooklyn

00:46:21.220 megachurch

00:46:21.820 that the COVID

00:46:22.520 shot came

00:46:23.340 quote

00:46:23.680 from God

00:46:24.420 she also said

00:46:25.620 that she wants

00:46:26.180 quote

00:46:26.440 apostles

00:46:26.900 to spread the word

00:46:28.020 of Tony Fauci

00:46:28.760 it's also the same

00:46:30.100 Kathy Hochul

00:46:30.880 who has repeatedly

00:46:31.600 declared her love

00:46:32.320 of abortion

00:46:32.780 quote

00:46:33.140 abortion is health care 0.87

00:46:34.480 and a human right

00:46:35.160 she said

00:46:36.200 she's also signed

00:46:37.620 legislation

00:46:38.220 enshrining child

00:46:39.080 castration into law

00:46:40.080 thanks to Kathy Hochul

00:46:41.520 New York

00:46:41.880 is now one of

00:46:42.520 several states

00:46:43.220 that allows a parent

00:46:44.020 to fly in

00:46:44.720 from out of state

00:46:45.380 in order to chemically 0.93

00:46:46.320 castrate their child

00:46:47.240 and courts can't do 1.00

00:46:48.420 anything about it

00:46:49.020 even if the other

00:46:50.040 parent objects

00:46:50.860 so

00:46:51.980 in other words

00:46:53.460 Kathy Hochul

00:46:54.000 is pretending

00:46:54.580 to be mortally offended 1.00

00:46:56.320 by a dumb meme 1.00

00:46:57.520 but she's not 0.98

00:46:58.960 remotely offended

00:46:59.660 by mortal sins

00:47:01.140 that defy

00:47:01.840 2,000 years

00:47:02.640 of church teaching

00:47:03.400 like abortion 0.68

00:47:04.620 sodomy 0.89

00:47:05.260 transgenderism

00:47:06.040 and so on

00:47:06.580 Catholicism

00:47:07.920 according to Kathy Hochul

00:47:08.800 is whatever

00:47:09.780 the Democrat Party

00:47:10.520 wants

00:47:10.900 the experimental

00:47:12.780 COVID shot

00:47:13.360 that doesn't even work

00:47:14.220 was sent from God

00:47:15.140 but the child

00:47:16.420 that was just

00:47:16.860 murdered in the

00:47:17.520 abortion clinic

00:47:18.220 was not sent

00:47:20.340 from God

00:47:20.780 apparently

00:47:21.220 Hochul has spent

00:47:23.060 her entire public

00:47:23.740 career attacking

00:47:24.440 literally everything

00:47:25.480 that the Catholic

00:47:26.740 Church stands for 0.96

00:47:27.520 and now

00:47:28.040 in the face

00:47:29.000 of this meme

00:47:29.800 she's suddenly

00:47:31.060 pretending

00:47:31.440 that she's

00:47:31.940 a faithful

00:47:32.440 Catholic

00:47:32.980 who never

00:47:34.280 misses mass

00:47:35.080 even on

00:47:36.220 holy days

00:47:36.900 Kathy Hochul

00:47:37.740 is there

00:47:38.100 she even wears

00:47:39.580 a veil

00:47:39.960 to church

00:47:40.440 that's how

00:47:41.520 religious

00:47:41.860 this woman

00:47:42.360 is

00:47:42.640 as of

00:47:43.100 nine seconds

00:47:43.700 ago

00:47:43.960 and it wasn't

00:47:45.480 just Kathy Hochul

00:47:46.200 who adopted

00:47:46.660 this approach

00:47:47.200 one by one

00:47:47.840 Democrats

00:47:48.360 who claimed

00:47:48.700 to be Catholic

00:47:49.240 took turns

00:47:50.560 declaring that

00:47:51.140 this meme

00:47:51.560 was blasphemous

00:47:52.520 it's one of

00:47:53.780 the most 0.56

00:47:54.100 shameless 0.99

00:47:54.600 and phoniest

00:47:55.780 displays

00:47:56.280 we've seen

00:47:56.800 in politics

00:47:57.300 in a long time

00:47:57.840 which of course

00:47:58.120 is saying a lot

00:47:58.800 here's what

00:47:59.760 Ted Lieu

00:48:00.240 the congressman

00:48:00.880 from California

00:48:01.440 wrote

00:48:01.720 quote

00:48:02.040 as a Catholic

00:48:03.480 I take great

00:48:04.340 offense to Donald

00:48:05.160 Trump mocking

00:48:05.840 Catholics

00:48:06.380 I wish Trump

00:48:07.540 would focus

00:48:07.960 on lowering

00:48:08.460 prices instead

00:48:09.300 the American

00:48:10.220 economy had

00:48:10.900 negative GDP

00:48:11.640 growth last

00:48:12.280 quarter

00:48:12.560 that's what

00:48:13.480 he should be

00:48:13.780 focused on

00:48:14.240 instead of

00:48:14.600 making fun

00:48:15.180 of Catholics 0.88

00:48:15.740 so now we have

00:48:18.240 the implication

00:48:18.700 that the meme

00:48:19.320 is not simply

00:48:19.960 offensive

00:48:20.260 it's also

00:48:20.640 so bad

00:48:21.520 that it's

00:48:22.060 hurting the

00:48:22.560 economy

00:48:22.960 the stakes

00:48:24.460 have been

00:48:24.760 raised

00:48:25.100 according to

00:48:25.620 California

00:48:26.100 Congressman

00:48:26.560 Ted Lieu

00:48:27.100 who says

00:48:27.520 he's a Catholic

00:48:28.080 but what does

00:48:30.280 that mean

00:48:30.560 exactly

00:48:30.900 well

00:48:31.700 let's

00:48:33.120 see

00:48:33.700 here's

00:48:34.200 Ted Lieu

00:48:34.760 posing with

00:48:36.160 the so-called

00:48:36.740 sisters of

00:48:37.500 perpetual indulgence

00:48:38.800 at the Los Angeles

00:48:39.780 Pride Parade

00:48:40.580 you can see

00:48:41.000 the picture

00:48:42.660 there

00:48:42.900 proudly posted

00:48:43.880 by Ted Lieu

00:48:44.660 this is a group

00:48:45.300 that is explicitly

00:48:46.240 devoted to

00:48:47.060 blasphemy

00:48:47.760 and sexual

00:48:48.580 sin

00:48:48.980 it's a group

00:48:50.300 whose very

00:48:51.020 existence

00:48:51.660 is a mortal

00:48:52.620 sin

00:48:52.980 according to

00:48:53.480 church teaching

00:48:54.060 they're an

00:48:55.200 anti-Catholic 0.98

00:48:56.020 hate group

00:48:56.640 you know

00:48:57.640 they dress up

00:48:58.220 like Jesus

00:48:58.740 and they put

00:48:59.280 on perverse 0.82

00:48:59.900 sexual displays

00:49:00.800 all the time

00:49:01.420 with the goal

00:49:02.240 of mocking 0.95

00:49:02.700 Catholics

00:49:03.140 it's their

00:49:03.840 entire

00:49:04.280 reason for

00:49:05.360 existing

00:49:05.780 you might

00:49:07.020 remember them

00:49:07.540 from the

00:49:08.160 whole sordid

00:49:08.780 situation

00:49:09.280 where the

00:49:09.700 Dodgers 0.91

00:49:10.100 honored them

00:49:10.820 but

00:49:11.100 Ted Lieu

00:49:12.320 doesn't object

00:49:12.840 to any

00:49:13.120 of that

00:49:13.420 he doesn't

00:49:14.520 find this

00:49:15.000 anti-Catholic

00:49:15.880 hate group

00:49:16.340 to be

00:49:16.660 offensive

00:49:17.000 a man

00:49:17.520 in a

00:49:17.860 nun costume

00:49:18.680 promoting 0.99

00:49:19.400 sodomy

00:49:20.000 is not

00:49:20.840 offensive

00:49:21.200 but a

00:49:22.680 meme of

00:49:23.180 Trump

00:49:23.520 as the

00:49:24.020 Pope

00:49:24.360 is

00:49:25.260 according

00:49:25.720 to

00:49:25.900 Ted Lieu

00:49:26.360 and of

00:49:27.840 course

00:49:27.980 Ted Lieu

00:49:28.300 has no

00:49:28.660 problem

00:49:28.940 with

00:49:29.120 killing 0.99

00:49:29.340 children 0.99

00:49:29.660 either

00:49:30.000 here's

00:49:30.360 a post

00:49:30.680 from Ted

00:49:31.180 Lieu

00:49:31.360 from a

00:49:32.500 couple

00:49:32.840 of years

00:49:33.320 ago

00:49:33.560 he writes

00:49:33.940 quote

00:49:34.220 most abortions 0.74

00:49:35.660 occur prior

00:49:36.240 to nine

00:49:36.580 weeks

00:49:36.920 look at

00:49:38.100 the picture

00:49:38.440 below

00:49:38.780 is that

00:49:39.780 a human

00:49:40.060 being

00:49:40.400 I don't

00:49:41.320 know

00:49:41.640 close

00:49:43.220 quote

00:49:43.500 you know

00:49:45.880 for a

00:49:46.920 Catholic

00:49:47.460 it's an

00:49:48.320 interesting

00:49:48.760 statement

00:49:49.140 to make

00:49:49.580 because

00:49:50.800 it suggests

00:49:51.700 a complete

00:49:52.460 lack of

00:49:52.960 familiarity

00:49:53.460 with the

00:49:54.580 catechism

00:49:55.140 or with

00:49:55.840 scripture

00:49:56.400 which both

00:49:58.000 make

00:49:58.360 repeated

00:49:58.960 references

00:49:59.360 to the

00:49:59.920 humanity

00:50:00.380 and moral

00:50:01.040 worth

00:50:01.440 of children

00:50:01.980 in the

00:50:02.360 womb

00:50:02.560 like if 0.81

00:50:04.220 you're a

00:50:04.480 Catholic

00:50:04.820 then the

00:50:06.300 answer to

00:50:06.920 that riddle

00:50:07.440 is

00:50:07.920 definitely

00:50:09.260 yes

00:50:09.840 it's a

00:50:10.360 human

00:50:10.580 being

00:50:10.940 Catholic

00:50:12.100 teaching

00:50:12.540 could not

00:50:13.700 be more

00:50:14.280 clear

00:50:14.780 about that

00:50:16.120 question

00:50:16.640 but Ted

00:50:18.820 Lieu

00:50:19.060 the

00:50:19.300 Catholic

00:50:19.740 is

00:50:20.740 confused

00:50:21.260 somehow

00:50:21.720 he's

00:50:23.040 the

00:50:23.160 type

00:50:23.360 of

00:50:23.520 self

00:50:23.740 described

00:50:24.060 Catholic

00:50:24.440 who

00:50:24.700 expressly

00:50:25.340 disavows

00:50:26.440 basically

00:50:27.400 every

00:50:27.900 element

00:50:28.380 and every

00:50:29.260 teaching

00:50:29.720 of

00:50:30.100 Catholicism

00:50:30.720 which is

00:50:32.040 quite a

00:50:32.320 trick

00:50:32.540 and again

00:50:33.900 he's

00:50:34.180 choosing to

00:50:34.680 become

00:50:34.900 indignant

00:50:35.280 over a

00:50:35.800 meme

00:50:36.020 this is

00:50:36.660 the red

00:50:37.020 line

00:50:37.340 for him

00:50:37.700 it's

00:50:37.860 not the

00:50:38.320 slaughter

00:50:38.580 of infants

00:50:39.120 that's a

00:50:40.100 red line

00:50:40.580 it's not

00:50:41.140 you know

00:50:41.540 men

00:50:42.120 dressed up

00:50:42.540 as

00:50:42.680 nuns

00:50:58.040 pro-choice

00:50:58.620 during the

00:50:58.980 campaign

00:50:59.360 went for

00:51:00.440 the same

00:51:08.040 that

00:51:08.180 everyone's

00:51:08.540 laughing

00:51:08.880 at

00:51:09.140 I

00:51:09.780 follow

00:51:10.860 on this

00:51:11.620 platform

00:51:12.020 I

00:51:12.240 wonder

00:51:12.460 if

00:51:12.640 there

00:51:12.740 will

00:51:12.800 be

00:51:17.740 is

00:51:17.860 now

00:51:18.040 indistinguishable

00:51:24.060 repeated

00:51:24.860 the same

00:51:25.720 points

00:51:26.120 and he

00:51:26.880 announced

00:51:27.220 that

00:51:27.480 as a

00:51:27.980 Catholic

00:51:28.320 he's

00:51:29.640 upset

00:51:33.980 guys

00:51:34.540 it

00:51:34.800 happened

00:51:35.220 last

00:51:36.540 night

00:51:36.780 President

00:51:37.180 Trump

00:51:40.280 as

00:51:40.780 the

00:51:41.000 Pope

00:51:41.340 apparently

00:51:42.520 ordering

00:51:43.160 a

00:51:43.360 one-way

00:51:43.760 ticket

00:51:44.080 to 0.99

00:51:44.300 hell 0.83

00:51:47.520 of

00:51:48.100 dressed

00:51:48.640 like

00:51:48.880 a

00:51:49.020 guy

00:51:49.320 who

00:51:49.500 died

00:51:49.840 a

00:51:50.020 week

00:51:50.200 ago

00:51:50.520 Trump

00:51:51.600 was

00:51:51.820 at

00:51:52.180 the

00:51:52.460 Pope's

00:51:52.900 funeral

00:51:53.400 that

00:51:53.920 means

00:51:54.100 he

00:51:54.260 walked

00:51:54.600 past

00:51:54.980 an

00:51:55.140 open

00:51:55.540 casket

00:51:56.180 and

00:51:56.300 was

00:51:56.420 like

00:51:56.580 oh

00:51:56.740 we

00:51:57.020 should

00:51:57.200 do

00:51:57.380 a

00:51:57.540 who

00:51:57.740 wore

00:51:57.960 it

00:51:58.080 best

00:51:58.460 truly

00:52:00.680 like

00:52:00.960 if

00:52:01.140 the

00:52:01.280 weak

00:52:01.540 Queen

00:52:01.840 Elizabeth

00:52:02.220 died

00:52:02.720 I

00:52:03.060 posted

00:52:03.520 this

00:52:04.060 I

00:52:07.780 don't

00:52:07.920 know

00:52:08.020 I

00:52:08.140 just

00:52:08.280 feel

00:52:08.440 like

00:52:08.580 as

00:52:08.760 a

00:52:08.900 Catholic

00:52:09.320 Trump's

00:52:10.780 feels

00:52:10.940 slightly

00:52:11.640 disrespectful

00:52:12.560 also

00:52:13.200 if

00:52:13.440 Trump

00:52:13.740 really

00:52:14.100 wants

00:52:14.480 to

00:52:14.620 be

00:52:14.780 Pope

00:52:15.040 he

00:52:15.360 should

00:52:15.520 probably

00:52:15.880 stay

00:52:16.180 away

00:52:16.480 from

00:52:16.680 J.D.

00:52:17.080 Vance

00:52:17.440 I

00:52:21.240 mean

00:52:22.300 again

00:52:22.700 it

00:52:23.200 doesn't

00:52:24.060 matter

00:52:24.300 because

00:52:24.660 obviously

00:52:25.180 this is

00:52:25.660 all

00:52:25.980 the

00:52:26.720 outrageous

00:52:27.140 fake

00:52:27.560 but

00:52:27.760 I

00:52:28.140 do

00:52:28.300 have

00:52:28.480 to

00:52:28.620 continue

00:52:28.940 to

00:52:29.140 stipulate

00:52:29.460 that

00:52:29.760 the

00:52:31.100 image

00:52:31.440 was

00:52:31.660 not

00:52:31.960 Trump

00:52:32.860 as

00:52:33.300 Pope

00:52:33.580 Francis

00:52:33.960 the

00:52:34.720 whole

00:52:34.920 joke

00:52:35.240 is

00:52:35.480 that

00:52:35.680 Trump

00:52:36.180 will

00:52:36.320 be

00:52:36.440 the

00:52:36.640 new

00:52:36.820 Pope

00:52:37.080 he's

00:52:38.160 not

00:52:38.280 dressing

00:52:38.560 up

00:52:38.700 as

00:52:38.800 Pope

00:52:38.920 Francis

00:52:39.160 he's

00:52:39.440 the

00:52:39.580 new

00:52:39.800 Pope

00:52:40.780 so

00:52:41.720 it's

00:52:41.880 no

00:52:42.040 it's

00:52:42.200 not

00:52:42.480 the

00:52:42.740 equivalent

00:52:43.020 of

00:52:46.200 the

00:52:46.620 queen 0.69

00:52:46.940 it's

00:52:47.860 the

00:52:47.960 equivalent

00:52:48.220 of

00:52:48.440 after

00:52:48.700 the

00:52:48.980 dies 0.87

00:52:49.260 you

00:52:49.820 make

00:52:50.520 and

00:52:50.760 say

00:52:51.040 hey

00:52:51.440 you

00:52:51.560 know

00:52:52.760 king

00:52:53.020 of

00:52:53.140 England

00:52:53.620 that's

00:52:55.360 the

00:52:55.480 joke

00:52:55.740 and

00:52:56.460 if

00:52:56.640 had

00:52:56.860 that

00:52:57.360 nobody

00:52:58.320 would

00:52:58.560 be

00:52:58.680 offended

00:52:59.020 it

00:52:59.520 would

00:53:00.000 be

00:53:00.180 nothing

00:53:00.640 of

00:53:00.920 a

00:53:01.040 joke

00:53:01.340 now

00:53:03.220 you'll

00:53:03.460 notice

00:53:03.700 that

00:53:03.980 there's

00:53:04.200 no

00:53:04.340 outrage

00:53:04.760 about

00:53:08.700 you could

00:53:09.280 make the

00:53:09.580 case that

00:53:10.020 that's

00:53:10.360 pretty

00:53:10.620 insensitive

00:53:11.040 especially

00:53:11.460 as it

00:53:11.780 takes

00:53:11.980 place

00:53:12.260 during

00:53:12.500 the

00:53:16.500 explicitly

00:53:16.860 targeted

00:53:17.300 at

00:53:18.100 one

00:53:18.340 thing

00:53:18.560 and

00:53:18.660 one

00:53:18.840 thing

00:53:18.980 only

00:53:19.220 which

00:53:19.600 is

00:53:19.880 the

00:53:32.540 to the

00:53:32.760 point

00:53:33.020 this

00:54:22.180 been

00:54:22.280 a

00:54:22.400 contender

00:54:22.820 instead

00:54:23.820 of

00:54:24.340 a

00:54:27.800 the

00:54:27.960 planet

00:54:28.300 currently

00:54:28.840 unlike

00:54:29.920 Michael

00:54:30.200 Steele

00:54:30.540 who

00:54:30.760 flunked

00:54:31.680 out of

00:54:31.860 his

00:54:31.980 position

00:54:32.280 as

00:54:32.480 RNC

00:54:33.340 chair

00:54:33.640 and

00:54:33.920 spent

00:54:34.900 the

00:54:35.080 rest

00:54:35.240 of

00:54:35.340 his

00:54:36.240 head

00:54:36.520 on

00:54:36.680 the

00:54:37.900 news

00:54:38.140 channel

00:54:38.440 Trump

00:54:40.320 could

00:54:40.480 only

00:54:40.680 dream

00:54:41.080 of

00:54:41.280 being

00:54:41.580 that

00:54:42.180 successful

00:54:42.680 now

00:54:43.880 it's

00:54:44.020 not

00:54:44.180 worth

00:54:44.360 going

00:54:44.580 through

00:54:44.740 Michael

00:54:45.000 Steele's

00:54:45.340 previous

00:54:45.620 statements

00:54:46.000 in support

00:54:46.400 of

00:54:46.520 abortion

00:54:46.860 because

00:54:47.160 by now

00:54:47.560 the

00:54:47.720 pattern

00:54:48.000 is

00:54:48.200 pretty

00:54:48.480 clear

00:54:48.840 despite

00:54:49.740 all

00:54:50.040 this

00:54:50.280 bloviating

00:54:51.380 and

00:54:51.620 faux

00:54:51.840 outrage

00:54:52.380 the

00:54:53.240 fact

00:54:53.420 remains

00:54:53.740 that

00:54:53.960 there

00:54:54.100 is

00:54:54.240 nothing

00:54:54.540 in

00:54:55.000 church

00:54:55.180 teaching

00:54:55.540 or

00:54:56.040 in

00:54:56.280 scripture

00:54:56.540 that

00:54:56.960 prohibits

00:54:57.420 us

00:54:57.680 from

00:54:58.040 making

00:54:59.100 a

00:54:59.520 harmless

00:54:59.940 joke

00:55:00.460 about

00:55:00.960 not

00:55:02.840 even

00:55:03.060 the

00:55:03.220 pope

00:55:03.480 but

00:55:03.780 the

00:55:04.280 papacy

00:55:04.760 in

00:55:06.420 fact

00:55:06.700 in

00:55:07.160 my

00:55:07.340 experience

00:55:07.860 actual

00:55:08.540 conservative

00:55:09.140 believing

00:55:09.740 catholics

00:55:10.340 first of

00:55:11.820 all

00:55:12.320 number

00:55:12.740 one

00:55:13.080 every

00:55:14.200 catholic

00:55:14.560 in the

00:55:14.760 country

00:55:15.000 has

00:55:15.260 already

00:55:15.480 made

00:55:15.680 that

00:55:15.840 joke

00:55:16.120 that

00:55:16.920 that's

00:55:17.320 the

00:55:17.420 most

00:55:17.580 offensive

00:55:17.840 thing

00:55:18.020 about

00:55:18.160 the

00:55:18.280 joke

00:55:18.520 is

00:55:18.720 that

00:55:18.880 it's

00:55:19.020 old

00:55:19.280 I

00:55:19.680 mean

00:55:19.800 every

00:55:20.160 catholic

00:55:20.500 in the

00:55:21.580 the

00:55:21.700 joke

00:55:21.920 about

00:55:22.200 maybe

00:55:22.820 maybe

00:55:23.120 maybe

00:55:23.440 Trump

00:55:23.660 could

00:55:23.780 be

00:55:23.880 the

00:55:23.980 new

00:55:24.100 pope

00:55:24.300 and

00:55:25.620 also

00:55:25.980 you

00:55:26.320 know

00:55:26.480 actual

00:55:27.240 catholics

00:55:27.720 tend

00:55:28.040 to have

00:55:28.360 darker

00:55:28.840 and

00:55:29.200 sometimes

00:55:29.640 like

00:55:29.880 a

00:55:30.120 more

00:55:30.360 morbid

00:55:30.820 sense

00:55:31.060 of

00:55:31.180 humor

00:55:31.420 and

00:55:32.540 that's

00:55:32.720 okay

00:55:32.980 on the

00:55:34.720 other

00:55:34.860 hand

00:55:35.180 it's

00:55:35.640 not

00:55:35.860 okay

00:55:36.200 to

00:55:36.520 be

00:55:36.680 a

00:55:36.840 catholic

00:55:37.200 who

00:55:37.520 explicitly
