The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1596 - Democrat Elites Are Playing A Giant Game Of “Cover Your A＊＊” And It’s Hilarious

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a new book reveals the shocking new details about Joe Biden's mental

00:00:04.060 decline. Of course, these details are not, as it turns out, shocking or new at all.

00:00:08.460 And Carmelo Anthony stabbed and killed a fellow student, but that apparently won't stop him from

00:00:12.000 receiving his diploma next week. Plus, David Hogg says that Democrats need to stop excommunicating

00:00:17.180 men from the party. The next day, he was excommunicated from the DNC. We'll talk

00:00:20.900 about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:34.920 There are plenty of reasons why I've been reluctant to discuss the new book from Jake Tapper about how

00:01:40.960 Joe Biden's staff tried to hide his mental decline during the presidential campaign. For one thing,

00:01:45.180 it's old news. Joe Biden lost the election a long time ago. It's a bit like reading about how O.J.

00:01:49.700 Simpson's lawyer secretly knew that he did it. By this point, no one cares, nor is anyone surprised by

00:01:55.180 it. And for another thing, everyone knows that Jake Tapper, like the rest of the news media,

00:01:59.460 was directly involved in covering up the slow motion transformation of Joe Biden's brain into

00:02:04.160 applesauce. So there's no credibility to this book at all. And it is a transparent effort by Democrats 0.72

00:02:10.000 to throw Joe Biden under the bus and absolve themselves of the 2024 election loss so they can

00:02:15.320 retain a shred of credibility and remain in positions of power within the party. That's all it is.

00:02:19.700 Now, all that said, I have to admit that despite my many reservations, it's actually worth talking

00:02:25.360 about this book, at least a little bit. And that's not because Jake Tapper's reporting is believable

00:02:29.900 or because Joe Biden is relevant. It's because when you read the self-serving narrative that these

00:02:34.960 people are coming up with, it's actually kind of entertaining. And it's also an extremely good

00:02:40.000 omen for the conservative movement because it's evidence that six months after Donald Trump beat 0.79

00:02:44.520 Kamala Harris in every swing state, Democrats remain as delusional and narcissistic as they ever were.

00:02:50.300 This is a party that is mired in a very steep decline. And Jake Tapper, for all his efforts to

00:02:55.960 obscure that fact, instead makes it even more obvious. So here, for example, is how this new

00:03:01.300 book explains why actor George Clooney decided to go nuclear on the Biden campaign back in the summer.

00:03:08.240 You might remember that Clooney wrote a public op-ed about how Biden is incapable of serving as

00:03:12.700 president. But the story doesn't begin with that op-ed. Instead, the story begins on a rainy Easter

00:03:17.820 evening last year in the south of France, where George Clooney was lounging around in one of his

00:03:23.120 mansions, as George Clooney is known to do. And suddenly, Clooney received a phone call from the

00:03:27.860 Hollywood mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg, who asked Clooney to host a fundraiser for Biden in June.

00:03:33.680 Now, it seemed like a reasonable request since Clooney and Biden had known each other for more than 15

00:03:37.760 years. But the timing of the event put Clooney in a bind because Clooney was slated to be in Tuscany in

00:03:42.880 June, shooting a new coming-of-age drama for Netflix that I'm sure was terrible. Now, in order

00:03:48.100 for Clooney to attend the fundraiser at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles without missing any days of

00:03:52.360 filming, he determined that he would have to fly into Los Angeles from Tuscany, which is something

00:03:55.900 like a 12-hour flight, host the fundraiser, then get on the plane for Rome that same night before

00:04:00.780 the fundraiser had concluded. So this was a major inconvenience by any metric. But Clooney agreed to do it

00:04:05.880 with a stipulation. And here's what he told Katzenberg, quote,

00:04:08.400 I can do one night. Let's call Julia Roberts and see if she'll do it with me, close quote. Now,

00:04:13.840 unfortunately, the book doesn't delve into specifics of why exactly George Clooney insisted on having

00:04:18.000 Julia Roberts in attendance for his one-night jaunt to Los Angeles from Tuscany. We'll have to

00:04:23.100 speculate on that point. But in any event, Clooney made it happen. He made it to the Peacock Theater

00:04:27.380 on time with Julia Roberts in tow. And that's when everything fell apart. At a private reception at

00:04:34.580 the theater prior to a public question and answer session, Joe Biden arrived with an aide, of course,

00:04:40.740 guiding his hand to help him walk. And then Biden saw George Clooney. And here's how that conversation

00:04:45.980 went. Quote, thank you for being here, Biden said to Clooney. And then an aide remarks, you know,

00:04:51.480 George, attempting to prod Joe Biden's memory. But Biden didn't seem to get it. So he just keeps saying,

00:04:58.020 thank you for being here. And how are you? And then Clooney tries to, you know, like, like,

00:05:03.060 this is actually what I do anytime I'm at a social function and I'm talking to someone

00:05:06.460 who I think I'm supposed to know or, or, but I, but, but I think I didn't just meet for the first

00:05:12.000 time, but I'm not sure. So you just, that's what you do. Oh, how are you? Thanks for, thanks for

00:05:15.580 being here. Good to, you know, you don't say good to meet you. You say good to see you. That's the

00:05:20.020 move. So he's doing that to George Clooney. And then Clooney tries to make small talk and Biden

00:05:24.240 keeps giving him these short one word answers. And then the aide clarifies to Biden that he's talking to

00:05:29.980 George Clooney, you know, the famous actor who's organizing the entire fundraiser that he's at.

00:05:34.240 And then Biden lights up and exclaims, oh yeah, hi, George. Now quoting from the book, quote,

00:05:39.520 Clooney was shaken to his core. The president hadn't recognized him, a man he'd known for years.

00:05:43.820 Clooney had expressed concern about Biden's health before. A White House aide had told him a few

00:05:48.240 months before that they were working on getting the president to take longer steps when he walked.

00:05:52.480 But obviously the problem went far beyond his gait. This was much graver, close quote.

00:05:57.780 Now, if you zoom out a few hundred feet, you have to admit that Biden simply does not get credit for

00:06:05.020 being anywhere near as entertaining as he was. Because according to this book, Biden looked George

00:06:10.460 Clooney in the face at a lavish fundraiser that Clooney was hosting for him, having flown in from

00:06:15.040 Tuscany with only the promise of seeing Julia Roberts to lure him there. And essentially said,

00:06:21.040 you know, who the hell are you? Now, to be clear in Hollywood, this is the single greatest act 0.90

00:06:27.040 of disrespect that a person can be guilty of. I mean, if Biden had robbed Clooney and then

00:06:33.480 beaten him to death with a cane, it still would not have been anywhere near as disrespectful as this

00:06:37.700 was. I mean, telling a famous actor like George Clooney that you have no idea who he is,

00:06:43.080 that's not something that you do unless you want to go to war. Even if you're the president of the

00:06:46.780 United States, you simply cannot come back from that. And indeed, Clooney did go to war. He wrote an op-ed

00:06:51.340 that very shortly after that that gave other party elites the green light to torpedo Biden's

00:06:58.120 candidacy. Now, in the book, this anecdote is supposed to come off as, you know, truly shocking

00:07:03.800 to the reader. We're supposed to be amazed that Joe Biden was so far gone. But actually, it's just

00:07:10.220 hilarious. I mean, two years before this fundraiser, Joe Biden was so lost and confused on the White House

00:07:15.500 grounds that the Easter Bunny had to tell him what to do. He'd been falling asleep and freezing up

00:07:21.420 during interviews again and again. It's not remotely surprising that he wasn't able to recognize George

00:07:26.160 Clooney because many times over, he didn't appear to realize who he was or what he was doing in the

00:07:30.140 White House. So nothing here is a revelation. What is new is that according to this book, it took a blow

00:07:35.520 to George Clooney's ego in order for Democrats and their donors to tell the public about Joe Biden's

00:07:40.880 condition. That was the red line for these people. You won't find a better way to summarize the modern

00:07:46.480 Democrat Party. Joe Biden was free to run the country into the ground. He was free to stare

00:07:50.740 into space, slack-jawed wherever he went, whether he was on television or attending the White House

00:07:55.660 Easter egg hunt. But the one thing he wasn't free to do, the one thing that was intolerable to the

00:08:00.580 elites, was failing to acknowledge their power over him. And of course, these elites lack all self-awareness

00:08:06.820 even now to the point that they think a sob story about multimillionaire actor George Clooney flying

00:08:11.320 in from Tuscany only to be snubbed by Joe Biden is going to make voters sympathetic to the party

00:08:15.760 machine and the corporate press. But it's not going to work because we all remember how they attempted

00:08:21.200 to spin this fundraiser at the Peacock Theater. This is the footage which everyone saw of Joe Biden

00:08:27.820 freezing up on stage before Obama had to grab him by the hand and lead him away. We all remember this,

00:08:33.200 but let's play it again. Okay, so he's being led away there. It was all there. Now, on MSNBC,

00:08:38.800 they responded to this footage by attacking the people who posted it. And then they suggested that

00:08:43.620 the footage was somehow misleading. They called it a cheap fake. Now, this is a term that they made up,

00:08:49.620 by the way, instantaneously. And they all started using it because the memo went out.

00:08:55.300 And they all started using this term cheap fake. They made up the whole term in a desperate bid to

00:09:00.240 minimize the impact of this footage. And as the media made this claim and invented this new word,

00:09:06.140 zero prominent Democrats complained. Watch.

00:09:09.720 There's a growing and insidious trend in right-wing media, broadcast, print, and social media.

00:09:15.860 It is to take highly misleading and selectively edited videos of President Biden directly from

00:09:22.660 Republican National Committee social media accounts, and then use those videos to spread

00:09:28.540 messages virally to cast doubt on President Biden's fitness for office. Here is this headline from

00:09:34.060 the New York Post. Quote, Biden appears to freeze up, has to be led offstage by Obama at Megabuck's LA

00:09:39.900 fundraiser. The full video posted by Biden finance chair on Twitter shows something entirely different.

00:09:47.240 Biden reacting to applause and then walking offstage with former President Obama.

00:09:52.660 Insidious. Yes, it's insidious for us to notice a thing that's happening right in front of us.

00:09:57.080 This is a common theme with the media, as you know. And even after Joe Biden participated in

00:10:02.380 that disastrous debate with Donald Trump, the cover-up continued. Barack Obama put out this

00:10:06.900 tweet saying Biden had just had a bad night. And you can see it there. In fact, Obama implies that

00:10:13.420 in the past he's performed just as badly as Joe Biden did. And Obama said this with a straight face,

00:10:17.960 even though no one actually watched, who actually watched the debate, even the most committed Obama

00:10:22.300 hater on the planet, would agree with that statement. The term gaslighting is overused,

00:10:27.720 but this obviously qualified. Meanwhile, Axios ran this report. They wanted you to know that Biden was

00:10:33.680 suffering from a cold during the debate and that he strengthened as the night went on.

00:10:40.020 What's amazing about this is that Alex Thompson, Jake Tapper's co-writer on the book,

00:10:44.560 writes for Axios. So they've gone from participating in the cover-up to claiming to be outraged by it.

00:10:49.080 Meanwhile, this is the headline the AP went with. Again, they ran this after the presidential debate,

00:10:54.400 quote, Biden at 81, often sharp and focused, but sometimes confused and forgetful.

00:11:00.520 This was the coverage from every mainstream outlet throughout all of last year. For his part,

00:11:06.060 earlier in 2024, Joe Scarborough lashed out at his viewers saying that Joe Biden was more cogent

00:11:11.340 than he'd ever been. He said, F you if you disagreed. And we've played that clip before. It's not worth

00:11:18.720 revisiting just because it's actually painful to watch, but it's all over the Internet if you

00:11:22.280 haven't seen it already. For his part, prior to writing this new book, Jake Tapper wasn't any

00:11:27.140 better. Tom Elliott collected a lot of video footage of Tapper running interference for the

00:11:32.240 Biden campaign. Here's just some of it. How do you think it makes little kids with stutters feel

00:11:37.800 when they see you make a comment like that? It's very clearly a cognitive decline.

00:11:42.660 OK, that's what I'm referring to. It makes me uncomfortable. You are. You are. No.

00:11:47.340 I can't. It's so amazing. It's so amazing to me that that try and figure out an answer.

00:11:52.360 A cognitive decline. Biden embraces his stutter talking about it while Trump mocks it,

00:11:57.100 exaggerates it, belittles it. He's sharp physically. I mean, mentally. Yeah, I think the question is

00:12:02.440 physically. Right. Right. Or so. Right. Right. And the guy who's his chief opponent is only three

00:12:07.020 or four years younger than him. I mean, you have questioned President Biden's age, mental fitness,

00:12:10.780 ability to lead of those supporting Biden. You said, quote, shame on all of you pretending

00:12:15.100 everything is OK. You're leading us and him into a disaster. Do you worry that you damaged him at all?

00:12:20.140 I don't doubt that that you got hugs and handshakes behind closed doors today and maybe even publicly

00:12:26.320 some of them because they like you personally. But I've heard a lot of really nasty stuff about

00:12:32.180 you from your Democratic colleagues. I mean, just like, what is he thinking?

00:12:35.860 Now, fast forward a few months and now Jake Tapper would like you to buy his book so that he can expose

00:12:42.820 everyone other than Jake Tapper. But as far as I can tell, this book doesn't answer any of the

00:12:48.320 actually interesting questions from the campaign. And here's the big one. Who told Joe Biden to debate

00:12:54.440 Donald Trump in June? That was the earliest presidential debate in modern political history.

00:12:58.420 They actually they usually take place in September, not June. And obviously everyone now agrees that

00:13:04.400 Biden's inner circle understood that he was incapable of recognizing George Clooney, much less

00:13:09.460 participating in a nationally televised debate. So why did they send him out there? In these excerpts

00:13:14.760 from the book, there's a hint of an explanation. It's a paragraph that describes a conversation at a

00:13:19.000 wedding that was being attended by Chuck Schumer, the Democrats leader in the Senate. Quote,

00:13:23.820 another wedding guest who sat at Schumer's table recalled him saying, if things go south of the debate,

00:13:28.700 me, Barack, Nancy and Hakeem have a plan B, close quote. In other words, Democrat Party leaders knew

00:13:34.760 that the debate would be a disaster and they saw it as a latched last ditch way to replace a losing

00:13:40.160 candidate who refused to step aside voluntarily. To all appearances, the debate was a setup and a very

00:13:46.440 effective one. They wanted to remove Joe Biden and install a new candidate while they still had the

00:13:50.620 time. And now that Kamala Harris crashed and burned, these people have another ready-made excuse.

00:13:54.720 They're saying that Harris only lost because she had to run such a short campaign. Of course,

00:13:59.660 everyone knows that Kamala Harris lost popularity with every day that she campaigned. The more people 1.00

00:14:05.720 realized how vapid she was, the less support she had. But for the purposes of this book,

00:14:09.600 we're supposed to pretend that voters didn't like Kamala Harris because they didn't see enough of her. 1.00

00:14:14.520 And therefore, the narrative is clear. All of Democrats' problems are Joe Biden's fault.

00:14:19.460 His handlers deceive the public, blame them and only them. Again, none of it's particularly

00:14:24.300 compelling. There are other tidbits in here about how Joe Biden's advisors were supposedly planning

00:14:29.440 to put him in a wheelchair after the election and how he couldn't remember the name of his own

00:14:34.000 national security advisor, Jake Sullivan. Apparently, he kept calling the guy Steve over and over again

00:14:38.540 in order to get him to come to the Oval Office. Then he also forgot the name of his spokeswoman,

00:14:42.460 Kate Beddingfield. So he just called her Press instead of using her actual name. So we effectively had

00:14:48.820 a caveman in the White House for several years, which again, is not actually something that makes

00:14:53.000 Joe Biden exclusively look bad. Instead, it makes every single one of his enablers, including his

00:14:57.700 wife, look like the criminals they are. Now, the important thing to understand is that this is how 1.00

00:15:03.100 the Democrat Party operates, and it will continue to operate this way, even though Joe Biden is now

00:15:08.020 long gone. In fact, they're currently running the same operation on John Fetterman. Remember how during

00:15:15.060 his Senate campaign, Fetterman opened a debate by saying, hi, good night, everyone. And at the time,

00:15:23.560 we were told that, you know, we were bigots if we suggested that he wasn't fit for office.

00:15:28.100 But now the tone has changed. CNN is currently grilling Fetterman in his office about whether he is

00:15:33.700 secretly bipolar. Watch. My reaction is it's a one source hit piece and involved maybe two or three

00:15:43.260 anonymous disgruntled staffers saying just absolute false things. Have you been keeping up with that,

00:15:52.040 taking your medication? I want to, my doctors, my doctors are like, John is, is great. And I am,

00:15:59.760 I am on all of the plan that it's always been. And it's incredibly invasive. And why are people

00:16:06.020 talking about anyone's personal medical things? So you've only been treated for depression,

00:16:10.640 not for being bipolar? No, no, I haven't. I haven't. But I've been very front and center about

00:16:18.040 my, with, with depression. Absolutely. None of these other things. And it's like, so someone that was

00:16:24.160 trying to accumulate my medical records and, and leak those things, that's part of this weird grudge

00:16:30.480 for this hit piece. You fully plan to serve your full term here in the Senate? Come on. Of course,

00:16:36.860 that's obviously, obviously, everybody understands I, I was treated for depression.

00:16:44.420 Now, this is a very different CNN from just a couple of years ago when they trotted out their

00:16:48.580 chief brain surgery correspondent to inform us that John Fetterman was more than capable of serving the

00:16:53.860 U.S. Senate. Yes, he needed a computer to conduct interview. And yes, he didn't make any sense when

00:16:58.460 he talked, but all of his issues we were told had to do with processing his responses. He understood

00:17:04.560 everything just fine. He was only having issues getting the words out. Watch. Not appear to have

00:17:10.500 a problem with cognition. You know, he's responding quickly. He supposedly took a couple of tests where he

00:17:15.920 performed well on those tests. We haven't seen the results of that. We haven't seen any of these

00:17:20.620 medical records. But overall, you could hear his fluency of speech and things like that. So

00:17:25.100 not to commingle cognition with functional deficit that people do recover from in the form of this

00:17:31.640 stroke. So in terms of his ability to serve in the United States Senate, can he understand a tough

00:17:36.200 national security issue before he cast a vote? Can he understand the complexities of a major health

00:17:39.760 care bill if he had to cast a vote? Could he understand the major complexities of a tax bill if he

00:17:44.240 had to conduct a vote? Can he read it as opposed to getting a briefing from the staff? Is that kind of the

00:17:48.700 issue here? I think so. I think that's it. It does not appear to have a problem with understanding

00:17:54.580 comprehension. It is a processing issue that seems to be the case. So they've gone from saying that

00:18:01.000 he's totally fine without actually speaking to him to having a reporter hound him in his office and

00:18:05.800 accuse him of being bipolar. And all that changed, of course, is that John Fetterman became very annoying

00:18:10.920 to Democrats in the Senate. He didn't tow the party line to the extent that they wanted. So

00:18:15.040 now they want to get rid of him. And they know that if they continue to betray him as mentally

00:18:20.160 disturbed, then eventually he'll have no choice but to quit. Put it all together, and it's clear

00:18:24.160 that the Democrat Party has not matured or improved in any way since their crushing defeat in the last

00:18:28.700 election. They're still just as shameless as ever, just dishonest. They don't care about transparency or 0.97

00:18:33.680 informing the public. They're only capable of running extremely transparent propaganda campaigns in which

00:18:38.380 they'll say one thing in 2024 and then completely contradict themselves in 2025. Whatever Jake Tapper was

00:18:44.000 helping to accomplish with this book, credit where it's due. He succeeded in doing one thing and one

00:18:50.520 thing only. He made George Clooney, of all people, the face of the very self-absorbed and impotent

00:18:55.360 Democrat elite. And it's true that Joe Biden can't recognize that face, even if it's standing right in

00:19:01.180 front of him at his own fundraiser. But voters are a little more perceptive. And as a result, they

00:19:05.920 understand that Democrats are far more concerned about their own self-image than anything else.

00:19:09.580 Whatever damage was done to George Clooney's ego a year ago, the damage to Democrats as a direct

00:19:14.260 result of this ongoing cover-up is much more substantial. And to put it another way, this is

00:19:19.900 a party that very badly does not want to accept any amount of accountability. They're not interested

00:19:24.780 in it. All they want is to find someone else to blame for their failures. That's their obsession.

00:19:30.040 Yes, the man they're now blaming, the former president of the United States, has no idea who they are or who he

00:19:34.020 is. But everyone else remembers what they were saying about him before this latest book tour.

00:19:39.600 And the more they lie about it, and the more they run the same scheme against John Fetterman,

00:19:43.360 the more we're reminded of who these people are and why they can never be trusted with power

00:19:48.280 ever again. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:52.220 We've all felt it lately. Everything just costs more groceries, gas, utilities. Prices have jumped

00:20:02.660 up about 26 percent in just a few years. It's no wonder so many people are struggling with debt

00:20:07.400 these days. If you're feeling overwhelmed by credit card bills or loans, there's a better solution than

00:20:11.580 just making minimum payments. Done with debt takes a different approach from typical debt relief

00:20:15.400 companies. They don't push loans or bankruptcy on you. That's what makes them different. Well,

00:20:20.300 their team of expert negotiators work directly with your creditors to reduce what you owe,

00:20:25.200 sometimes eliminating debt completely. And they work quickly. Most people see financial relief in

00:20:30.180 the very first month. But here's the thing. Some of their most effective debt reduction strategies

00:20:34.500 are time sensitive. So before you make another payment, talk to a done with debt strategist.

00:20:39.320 Consultations are completely free, and it could be the most important financial call you make this

00:20:43.240 year. Visit donewithdebt.com. That's donewithdebt.com to get ahead of your debt and get a better

00:20:47.980 handle on your financial future, donewithdebt.com. All right. So I'm going to start with this just

00:20:53.480 because it annoys me. That's the only reason. Not the biggest news on the planet, but the House

00:21:00.100 GOP, the official ex-account of the House Republicans, made the baffling decision to post something

00:21:05.680 yesterday in both English and Spanish. And the tweet itself is benign. You know, the tweet says,

00:21:14.540 we'll put it up on the screen, House Republicans believe in every American's potential to thrive

00:21:19.420 by embracing the power of work. And then right underneath it, they have the Spanish 1.00

00:21:25.880 translation of that sentence, which I will not try to read. So you get the message,

00:21:34.520 then the same message in Spanish. Why would they do this? If the Republicans wanted to find a way to

00:21:41.820 tweet something that announces that they have no idea what time it is, they could not have done

00:21:46.940 better than this. Of all the times to virtue signal with the bilingual tweet, this is the worst possible 0.94

00:21:54.340 time. Nobody's in the mood for it. Nobody was ever really in the mood for it, especially not your own

00:21:58.560 voter base. They're certainly not in the mood for it now. So why are you doing this? And it's funny,

00:22:02.440 of course, because practically it's totally pointless. I mean, even if you felt that the House GOP

00:22:08.200 needs to, like a tweet from the House GOP needs to be accessible to foreign language speakers,

00:22:15.120 even if you felt that way, well, Twitter already translates for you. So if something is posted in

00:22:21.020 a foreign language, there's a little button that says translate. And so it already does that. So

00:22:26.320 practically it's pointless. That function is already there. But also, by the way, we shouldn't be worried

00:22:35.120 about making our political conversations accessible to foreigners. If you want to be part of it,

00:22:40.100 learn English. If you want to know what banal, useless crap the GOP is tweeting, 1.00

00:22:46.240 then yeah, learn English. It's a great incentive, actually. You need to learn English so that you can 0.99

00:22:53.160 read all the inane bumper sticker slogans that the Republicans are putting out about the power of work.

00:22:58.400 And, you know, this may seem pedantic or whatever, but it's really not because we speak English in

00:23:07.080 this country. That is our language. We have a right to insist on it. That should be the message that

00:23:13.160 our alleged party is sending instead of counter-signaling with these totally pointless

00:23:21.360 bilingual virtue signals, which, of course, if it appeals to anyone, will only appeal to the kinds

00:23:29.000 of people who will never vote Republican anyway. And speaking of speaking English, there's a clip that

00:23:36.260 I just saw just a few moments ago. It's a clip that is so on the nose, so perfect, that perfect in the

00:23:50.460 worst kinds of ways. That I first, I wasn't sure if it was a skit. Like, it's, I'll put it this way.

00:23:55.800 If I were to script a 30-second skit that would demonstrate in 30 seconds everything wrong with

00:24:05.660 our approach to immigration in the Western world, it would be this clip. It would be this clip exactly.

00:24:11.740 If somebody submitted this script to me because they wanted to make a short little skit

00:24:16.560 that kind of makes the point about immigration, I'd have no notes for it. I would say this is 0.96

00:24:21.720 perfect. Everything about it is absolutely perfect. So I want to play this for you. This is not,

00:24:26.480 but this is not actually a skit, it turns out. This is a report, a news report on GB News in the UK,

00:24:31.340 and it's a conversation or an attempted conversation between a reporter and a third world migrant who just

00:24:37.960 arrived from somewhere in Africa and is now living in a tent. And apparently this reporter,

00:24:44.720 I guess, is embedded with these, with these migrants for a day, for 24 hours and is trying 1.00

00:24:51.320 to talk to them. And this, this migrant from Africa is not able to convey very much in English, 1.00

00:24:59.520 but he is able to get one thing across and one thing only. So let's watch this.

00:25:05.780 Why should English people pay for you to have a house? 0.99

00:25:12.780 Maybe they give me a house, they give me anything I can need, they give me.

00:25:24.380 Just give it. Why?

00:25:26.780 Because it's people, because people, England is perfect.

00:25:30.780 Oh, so you think we're, so we're all, you think we're all,

00:25:34.380 where do you think we're all rich people?

00:25:36.580 I, like, like I said, I can't, I mean, I can't, I can't improve on it. That's, that, that's it.

00:25:43.180 Everything about that is the problem. Every part of it.

00:25:47.580 This is a guy that coming from Africa, living in a tent, can't speak English. The only words 1.00

00:26:00.080 he knows are give me. The only thing he can communicate is give me. And think about that

00:26:09.140 for a second. Think about what that means, right? Because it's like, if you were, if you're a tourist

00:26:16.400 and you're going to a foreign country where they speak a foreign language and you're talking to

00:26:20.800 someone who maybe has, has been in the country, that country before, or is from that country.

00:26:26.400 And you, you, you might ask them like, what are, you know, I don't know the language, but what are

00:26:30.680 some, they give you like some, some phrases that, yeah. So you're not gonna learn the whole language

00:26:35.260 before you go. Uh, but they want to give you, they'll give you a few phrases that you will help

00:26:39.280 you get around. Like, uh, so if you're going to Italy and you're going to spend a week there

00:26:43.840 and you don't know Italian, uh, so maybe you talk to Italian person, like, look, give me a few,

00:26:49.980 you know, just like a few, a few handy phrases that I would need, right? If I'm in Italy, like, uh,

00:26:54.600 whatever, uh, I'd like to order spaghetti, uh, whatever, you know, can I join the mafia? Like,

00:27:00.140 whatever, whatever it is you'd say when you're in Italy. Um, so for these, these African illegals, 1.00

00:27:08.360 uh, before they go to an English speaking country and they're talking amongst themselves

00:27:15.320 and they're saying, okay, what are, what's like, what are the main phrases I need when I go to this

00:27:20.460 place? And they've decided the only phrase they need is give me. Once you get there, all you need

00:27:26.920 to know is give me, just walk into the country and say, give me, give me, give me, uh, give me a

00:27:33.120 house. Give me, give me, give me food. Uh, it, I mean, you have to laugh because otherwise it's,

00:27:41.220 it's, otherwise you, you will scream in inarticulate rage, uh, because those are the only two options.

00:27:49.560 Why? I would like anyone on the left, and I know that this, this is, uh,

00:27:57.560 uh, totally fruitless. It's there. They can't, they won't do it. But I would love for anyone on

00:28:04.760 the left to try to explain why we would want that guy in our country. Okay. Whether it's that guy

00:28:17.180 who's going to the UK or that we have those guys coming to this country as well. Why do we want

00:28:23.680 that guy in our country? What is he bringing to the table aside from demands? I didn't say,

00:28:34.320 what is he taking from the table? There's a lot he wants to take from it. He'll take the food off

00:28:39.480 the table and he'll take the table and sell. He'll take everything. We know that, but what is he

00:28:44.460 bringing to it? Okay. The question that he was posed that he didn't understand because he doesn't know

00:28:49.300 English and you got these people coming to the country. They don't, they don't know English. They don't, 0.98

00:28:52.260 they don't care about the culture. They don't care about assimilating. They're not interested in it. 0.97

00:28:56.420 They won't, they'll make zero attempt to do it. They're only here, uh, to take. That's the only

00:29:01.780 reason they come. When these migrants come to the country, they are, they come to take. That's it. 1.00

00:29:08.660 That's why they're here. But the question he asked, he was asked, was a very fair question.

00:29:16.480 Why should, not only why should we let you here in the first place, but why should taxpayers pay for

00:29:25.480 you? Why? Give me a reason. Give me any reason why we should let you in here or, or, uh, even more so

00:29:37.000 pay for you. What are you bringing to the table? Well, he can't explain that because all he can say

00:29:46.540 is give me. He's bringing his neediness to the table. He's bringing his demands to the table.

00:29:55.080 But can anyone, can any, uh, uh, Democrat, anyone on the left who is able to speak at least, uh, a little

00:30:01.900 bit more English, can they explain why we want that guy in the country? So what you can't do is

00:30:09.660 you can't say, oh, well, because he's, he's, uh, he's really put upon and poor and all that. No,

00:30:14.620 no, that's why he wants to, I know why he wants to come to the country. I understand that.

00:30:20.000 We all understand his motivations. We understand what he gets out of it. What I'm saying is what do

00:30:25.360 we get out of it? And, uh, but you can't answer that question because the answer is nothing. We do

00:30:35.580 not benefit at all in the slightest bit from having a guy like that in the country. There is zero benefit

00:30:42.360 to the country. And, um, we all know it. Okay. The NBC affiliate in Dallas has, uh, a story, an update

00:30:54.280 on, uh, the story that of course we followed closely of, uh, Carmelo Anthony who stabbed and killed

00:31:02.400 Austin Metcalf at, uh, uh, a track, uh, track meet several weeks ago. Well, they're both high school

00:31:10.440 students or, uh, you know, Austin Metcalf was a high school student until he was murdered. Carmelo

00:31:14.800 Anthony, Carmelo Anthony, you, you would, you would think we would say was a high school student because

00:31:20.080 you would think he was expelled and that was it. But, uh, there's an interesting update.

00:31:24.280 Let's watch. The young man charged with murder in connection with the stabbing death of a Frisco

00:31:29.540 student will receive his diploma. According to the next generation action network, Frisco

00:31:34.600 ISD reached an agreement that allows Carmelo Anthony to graduate, but not participate in

00:31:39.920 senior graduation activities. The teenager has the necessary credits for graduation and

00:31:44.740 a 3.7 GPA. He is out on bond awaiting trial in the death of Austin Metcalf at a Frisco district

00:31:51.920 track me. Okay. So he stabbed another student and he can still graduate. He stabbed a student

00:31:58.540 at a school event and he can graduate. Now, you know, the, the, the fact that it sounds like

00:32:04.180 he won't be walking across the stage, but that doesn't matter. You, you should not be able

00:32:09.820 to receive your diploma after stabbing and killing another student. I mean, that shouldn't need to be 0.90

00:32:19.800 said. So to review Carmelo Anthony, after stabbing another student to death, and by the way, I'm not

00:32:26.920 going to say allegedly in front of that, like a lot of people do allegedly stabbed. No, he stabbed him.

00:32:30.820 I mean, there's like zero, zero question about that. He definitely stabbed him. He admitted it. So

00:32:37.520 there's not any kind of, uh, so after, after definitely stabbing another student to death

00:32:43.360 has now received over half a million dollars and he'll get his diploma.

00:32:49.320 And we all know that, of course, there's just no way this happens. If the races are reversed,

00:32:55.000 uh, neither of the million dollars nor the graduation would happen or should happen.

00:33:00.480 By the way, you know, a lot of people are, are fretting that conservatives,

00:33:06.180 some conservatives have become radicalized quote unquote on, uh,

00:33:12.220 on in general, but in particular on race issues. And the Shiloh Hendricks case is supposed to be an

00:33:20.820 example of that. There are a lot of people claiming that I personally have become radicalized.

00:33:27.400 There's a, there's, if you go on X, you'll see a lot of conversation about that all the time.

00:33:32.980 And, uh, as for that claim, you know, about me personally, I'm not saying anything that I haven't

00:33:39.140 already been saying for years. And you, if you watch the show, you know, that everything I say

00:33:44.980 about these issues, I've been saying for a long time. You've heard me say it too many times, in

00:33:49.960 fact, but on, on X, this is a thing. Every time I post anything, there are people declaring that

00:33:56.960 depending on their perspective, they're declaring either that I've suddenly become based or, or that

00:34:03.040 I become a radical right-wing racist, you know, again, depending on their perspective on it,

00:34:07.380 but whatever label you put on, I mean, I don't care what labels you use. All these labels are

00:34:12.840 meaningless. Uh, I I've been here for a long time. I have not changed, but putting me aside,

00:34:19.180 has there been a kind of general radicalization? Well, again, I don't, I don't know that I'd,

00:34:25.340 I'd put it that way. What has happened is that more and more people are waking up to the situation

00:34:31.960 that we're in. Maybe we're in a radical situation. There is in fact a war on whiteness. There has been

00:34:39.860 for a long time. The left has long since declared that whiteness is a, is a disease, that it's

00:34:45.340 something that needs to be abolished. It needs to be cured. Um, they've long since set up policies 0.85

00:34:52.820 specifically to exclude or disadvantage white men. There has long since been a cultural standard

00:34:58.340 established that says that it can be justified to assault, accost, even kill a white person.

00:35:04.200 Uh, at the very least, if it's a crime at all, it won't be as bad a crime as it would have been in 0.91

00:35:08.420 the reverse. So all this, that's all just true. That's like, that's the culture that we've been

00:35:15.100 living in. And so if there's been any radicalization on the right, it's only been the radicalization of

00:35:20.080 noticing what's happening and pointing it out. You know, it's like if someone says,

00:35:25.080 as we talked about yesterday, again, uh, if someone says there's a great replacement,

00:35:31.180 there's a plan to make America less white, they'll be called a radical right winger.

00:35:36.780 And the more that the great replacement is talked about on the right, the more we hear these

00:35:40.140 lamentations on the left and among some people who would still call themselves conservatives,

00:35:44.700 these, these lamentations about, Oh, it's radicalism. It's radicalism.

00:35:48.640 Again, I, you can use that label. I don't care, but also it's just true. There is a replacement

00:35:57.840 happening. It's, it's actually just true. It's a thing that is happening. That's a true thing that

00:36:02.720 is happening. And the people doing it will admit it. All of this stuff they'll admit. When we say

00:36:09.940 there's a war on whiteness, they want to abolish whiteness. I'm not, that's not some radical conspiracy

00:36:15.640 theory. They've been saying that it's directly. I mean, you can look it up, look up the phrase

00:36:22.540 abolish whiteness in quotes on Google. See how many hits you get. You'll get hundreds of hits

00:36:27.840 because they've been talking about this explicitly forever. And if anything is, if anything is changing

00:36:36.560 on the right, it's just that there are more and more people who are looking at that and say,

00:36:40.080 Oh, look at what they're doing. Oh, they want to abolish whiteness. They hate white people. 0.71

00:36:43.220 They want to abolish them. Look, here's what they're saying. So these kind of calls to moderate. 1.00

00:36:55.540 Well, they want us to moderate by not noticing and not objecting to the things that they're doing.

00:37:02.060 That's when the left talks about moderating. They want it. They want moderation. That's always what

00:37:05.920 it means. It always means don't notice and don't object to what we're doing. Those are the moderates

00:37:13.140 that they like. Those are the moderate conservatives that they will pat on the head and give you a

00:37:18.220 cookie. It's because you're refusing to notice or object, much less do anything about their agenda.

00:37:28.660 That's always what it comes down to. Okay. Here's a fun story about an execution. So let's lighten the

00:37:42.480 mood a little bit by talking about this. Let's lighten it up and talk about something lighthearted

00:37:49.320 and fun. The media is very upset about a botched execution that happened last week.

00:37:54.900 And there's a lot of headlines about this last week. Here's the New York Post. A South Carolina

00:38:00.460 firing squad tried to shoot a convicted cop killer in the heart and missed in a botched execution that

00:38:05.100 left him in excruciating pain as he bled out, according to an autopsy and experts.

00:38:10.880 Mikhail Mahdi, 42, who murdered a South Carolina police officer during a crime street in 2004,

00:38:15.440 was shot to death by a three-person firing squad on April 11th. But an autopsy later revealed that

00:38:20.940 none of the bullets hit his heart directly and that his chest showed only two bullet wounds instead

00:38:24.620 of three. The bullets that struck him injured his liver and other internal organs and allowed his

00:38:28.900 heart to keep beating as he remained alive for roughly a minute. Mr. Mahdi did experience excruciating

00:38:33.560 conscious pain for about 30 to 60 seconds after he was shot. Pathologist Dr. Jonathan Arden wrote in

00:38:39.600 his analysis of the state autopsy. In July 2004, Mahdi went on a multi-state crime spree,

00:38:46.280 committing carjacking, firearm robbery, and three murders, including that of 56-year-old

00:38:51.180 off-duty police officer James Myers, who was shot at least eight times, and then his body was burned.

00:38:58.380 And then finally, 20 years later, he's being put to death, and apparently, according to these

00:39:02.680 experts, so-called experts, he experienced pain because they shot him and they all missed his heart,

00:39:08.660 and so he bled out. Okay, so they say it was, like I said, a light-hearted story. So they say it

00:39:15.120 was botched, but first of all, it doesn't seem botched to me. I mean, he's dead. So like when

00:39:20.720 you hear about botched execution, someone says, well, we botched the execution. Oh, you mean he's

00:39:26.900 still alive? No, he's dead. Okay, well, I guess, I mean, you didn't botch it. It succeeded. You did kill

00:39:30.860 him. But they say that it was botched because he may have experienced some pain for like a minute or

00:39:35.720 two. And this is a major outrage, apparently. Like I said, there are a lot of headlines about

00:39:38.640 it. And listen, I know this is one of my darker opinions. It's not exactly, maybe not exactly a

00:39:48.780 crowd pleaser, but it's just, it's like, it's absurd. This kind of outrage is absurd. I mean,

00:39:59.160 it's, if you have a very, very, very morbid jet black sense of humor, you almost have to laugh at

00:40:10.120 the, at the reaction to a story like this because of the absurdity of it. It's almost like a far side

00:40:16.580 cartoon or something where the executioner is standing over the guy who was just executed saying,

00:40:21.300 oh, geez, I hope he didn't feel any pain. I mean, that would be, that would be a little bit more of a

00:40:26.660 macabre far side cartoon than what you would normally get. But it is totally ridiculous. 0.98

00:40:33.880 I mean, it's, it's just ridiculous. You're killing the guy. You're shooting a person and killing him. 1.00

00:40:40.500 By what logic have we arrived at the conclusion that it's moral to strap a guy to a chair and shoot 1.00

00:40:48.760 and kill him. But it's a great moral evil. If he experiences physical discomfort, 0.99

00:40:55.640 you're strapping him to a chair and shooting him. 1.00

00:41:01.860 So you can shoot him, but he can't feel it. What it's, it is absurd. And by the way, this, 1.00

00:41:07.380 I'm not making an argument against the death penalty. I'm not saying we shouldn't kill the guy. 0.99

00:41:11.940 He murdered three people. He went on a crime spree that included killing brutally three people. He 1.00

00:41:19.500 punched his ticket. He earned that seat. He earned his trip, you know, to the, to the afterlife. There

00:41:25.920 are, there are things a person can do where they announce that they no longer wish to be a part of

00:41:32.480 human society. And this is one of those things. And put more simply, if you murder three people,

00:41:38.900 you deserve to die. You just deserve it. You just simply like, why is it okay to the execution? 1.00

00:41:46.420 Okay. Because you deserve it because you killed three people. It doesn't even make any sense for 1.00

00:41:51.120 the, no, I don't deserve this. What do you mean you don't deserve it? You murdered three people.

00:41:54.740 Of course you deserve it. Uh, it is justice. The punishment you deserve, the punishment is owed to

00:42:01.980 you. You earned it. And so you're going to get it. And that's what justice is. But if you deserve to die, 0.75

00:42:08.900 then you also deserve pain. Like I said, I know this is not, uh, this is like maybe one of the most 0.99

00:42:15.140 unpopular things you could say. It just, it just totally flies in the face of, uh, of the kind of

00:42:20.920 modern approach to this, to, to justice. Uh, the idea of like intentionally inflicting pain is, is it,

00:42:27.820 it just, it's the, it's the most, we don't like how that feels. We don't, we don't want to, we,

00:42:34.580 we, we, we don't like to think of justice in those terms, but that's what justice is.

00:42:40.940 That's actually what it is. It is inflicting suffering to some extent on someone intentionally

00:42:47.100 as a punishment. That's what justice is. Sending someone to prison is that. 0.57

00:42:53.720 Okay. So we're not talking about necessarily torture, like direct strapping them down to the

00:42:58.920 rack, medieval torture, but I'm necessarily talking about that. But putting somebody in prison

00:43:03.240 is inflicting a lot of, of suffering. There's an immense amount of suffering involved in going to

00:43:08.380 prison. And we're doing that on purpose. And yeah, part of the point is it's the suffering is not

00:43:14.140 incidental. Yeah. You're supposed to suffer. That is justice. That is what is owed to you. That is what

00:43:21.560 is due to you because of what you've done. Uh, so this should not be a controversial statement.

00:43:27.940 There is, there's no justice without suffering and not giving an evil man the suffering that he is due

00:43:33.080 is unjust. Just as it's unjust to not give a starving man some food. Now, the thing that we're

00:43:40.720 morally obliged to do and to provide is very different in those two scenarios. But in both

00:43:45.800 cases, it is justice because justice is giving to someone what they are due. And, uh, and in the case of a,

00:43:53.640 um, of a, of a, of a mass murderer, what they are due is their own death and also suffering. Uh, so I

00:44:07.260 think, but the way that we want to approach this, we want to, we want to approach justice. We want to

00:44:12.280 sanitize it as much as possible. And we don't want to face what we're actually doing. I also think

00:44:20.700 in some ways it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's also in some ways disrespectful to the, to the

00:44:29.140 condemned man to, for us to not face what we're doing. There's, there's, there's not, there's no

00:44:35.480 dignity in that. You know, that's, that's one of my, I have no issue with capital punishment. I think

00:44:41.380 capital punishment is right. I don't like the way we approach it though, because there's, there,

00:44:47.140 there's no dignity in it. There could be, but there isn't. I don't like it. Number one,

00:44:52.940 because it shouldn't be happening 20 years later. That's insane. Why are we waiting 20 years?

00:45:00.700 And number two, the most dignified thing is to, is for us as a society to face what we're doing.

00:45:08.220 Yeah. You've done this horrible thing. We're going to kill you now. And it's going to be, it's,

00:45:13.240 it's horrible. It's gonna be horrible. It's gonna be a horrible experience. It's going to,

00:45:16.360 it's going to, you're going to feel it. It's going to be painful, but you, you must feel this

00:45:21.540 because, because of what you've done. This is your punishment. And we don't like, we, we, we don't

00:45:30.160 enjoy it. Okay. We're not, we, it's, we shouldn't enjoy it. That's sadistic to take pleasure in someone

00:45:35.780 else's pain is sadistic. So we shouldn't take pleasure in it, but we also shouldn't hide from

00:45:43.360 what we're doing. Trying to sanitize it, trying to almost medicalize it. That's what the lethal

00:45:49.320 injection is all about. Put them on a, like a, what looks like a hospital bed and give them the

00:45:53.780 injection. Why are we doing that? It's only, it is simply to, so that we as a society can try to hide

00:46:02.300 from what we're doing and try to sanitize, try to lie to ourselves about this, this thing.

00:46:07.200 And this thing, which is ugly, like execution's an ugly thing, but it's also necessary. And in order

00:46:14.620 to have a civilized society and in order to have justice in society, there, it requires a certain

00:46:20.520 amount of ugliness. There are ugly things that you have to do. And this is one of them. And I think

00:46:26.460 it's, it is more honest and also in a way more respectful and more dignified for the condemned

00:46:34.580 person if we just face it and we're honest about it. Um, which means that when we hear that, okay,

00:46:41.360 well, we, we, a guy was put in front of the firing squad and he suffered for a few, for like 30 seconds.

00:46:46.000 What we should say is, well, I mean, yeah, that, and you know what it's, so he got to experience a

00:46:53.180 small measure of the suffering that he inflicted on somebody else. And, um, we're not necessarily happy

00:46:58.760 about it. We don't take pleasure in it. We don't delight in it, but, uh, but we should say, well,

00:47:03.440 that's justice. And, um, you know, hopefully the next person before they go off and kill three

00:47:11.340 people, maybe they can look at that. They can look at the, what happened to this guy and the

00:47:15.920 fact that he suffered for it. And maybe, maybe it'll stop the next person from committing the

00:47:22.000 same crime. Let's be honest. I have a long list of things I'd rather do than maintain my gutters.

00:49:15.840 On Monday, the Democratic National Committee voted to void the election of David Hogg as their vice

00:49:27.900 chair. In a 13 to 2 vote, they decided that Hogg's election to his position was not legitimate.

00:49:33.800 And this was obviously devastating news for Hogg as it wiped away the one single achievement of his life,

00:49:38.460 as sad as that achievement was. Becoming the vice chair of the DNC is, in the world of national

00:49:43.660 politics, essentially the equivalent of a participation trophy. And now Hogg is losing

00:49:48.160 even his participation trophy. It's a sad day in the Hogg household. Then again, every day is a sad

00:49:53.280 day in the Hogg household. Nonetheless, his family must be devastated. And by family, of course, I mean

00:49:58.660 his cats. Now the DNC came up with some procedural reason for ousting David Hogg. But whatever the

00:50:05.260 pretense, you cannot help but notice the timing. That he was kicked to the curb just a day or two after

00:50:10.680 he appeared on Bill Maher's show and made the argument that the Democrat Party should do more

00:50:15.280 to appeal to men. Hogg said that Democrats should stop alienating men. And the Democrats responded by

00:50:22.880 immediately excommunicating him. Not exactly subtle. But even if the DNC isn't willing to listen to Hogg's

00:50:28.340 entreaties, we will hear him out on this show. Now, admittedly, it's hard to take a 27-pound

00:50:33.280 progressive male seriously when he talks about masculinity. But we'll try not to hold that against

00:50:37.900 him. Yes, he looks and sounds like the before picture in a commercial for testosterone therapy.

00:50:42.980 But again, we won't focus on that. So here is David Hogg with Bill Maher. Watch.

00:50:50.100 Right now, what I think happened last election is younger men, they would rather vote for somebody 0.92

00:50:54.440 who feels, who even if they don't completely agree with, they don't feel judged by, than somebody who

00:50:59.060 they do agree with, that they feel like they have to walk on eggshells around constantly because

00:51:02.840 they're going to be judged or ostracized or excommunicated. And what's interesting about this

00:51:07.460 moment is it feels like the two parties in some senses have flipped where, you know, Republicans

00:51:11.200 used to be the judgmental in many ways. And since many Democrats, despite us, I would say for most

00:51:17.780 of us coming from the right place of wanting to do the right thing, we've created a culture where we

00:51:22.580 say, well, if you say the wrong thing, you're excommunicated. And that's just not how human

00:51:25.920 beings work. Nobody is perfect. But ultimately, what we have to do here is figure out how to bring

00:51:30.640 people back in and work towards the bigger goal of advancing the future of this country and helping

00:51:34.500 young people especially get by so that they're able to focus on their lives and, you know,

00:51:39.260 getting with a young woman or something like that, instead of how are they going to pay their rent, 0.54

00:51:42.960 for example, or how are they working their two jobs? Young people should be able to focus on what

00:51:46.880 young people should be focused on, which is how to get laid and how to go and have fun.

00:51:51.640 You know, David, we noticed how you said that Democrats should stop excommunicating men. Well,

00:52:08.700 for that, you're excommunicated. That was the DNC's response, basically. But even if the DNC isn't ready

00:52:16.140 to hear it, Hogg does have a point, obviously. Democrat Party has gone out of its way to alienate

00:52:21.140 and ostracize men at every opportunity. They've sent the message loud and clear that they don't

00:52:25.580 like or respect men, in particular straight white men. And what happens as a result? Well,

00:52:32.060 straight white men won't vote for you. It turns out that I hate you guys, now vote for me, 1.00

00:52:37.280 is not exactly the most compelling pitch. Now, Hogg may be broadly correct about the grand overarching point

00:52:43.820 to an extent, but his analysis is hindered by the fact that he is very much a part of the problem

00:52:49.520 that he's pointing to. He's just not capable of grasping the full scope of the issue or the finer

00:52:54.460 details because he's infected by the same mental and spiritual disease as the Democrats he's 0.96

00:52:59.140 criticizing. So let's go through the points that Hogg is missing. He says that Democrats have become the

00:53:05.940 judgmental a-holes, and that's correct. But the problem isn't merely with being judgmental or being an

00:53:13.200 a-hole. The problem is, first of all, and this is the big one, that the judgments are wrong.

00:53:22.520 Okay? It's one thing to be judgmental against bad degenerate behavior. It's another thing to be

00:53:29.280 judgmental against healthy normal behavior. The problem is not that judgments are being made. The

00:53:35.160 problem is that the judgments are deranged. So a conservative like myself may be accused, as I have

00:53:43.300 been a time or two, of being judgmental towards certain lifestyle choices. And then a leftist may

00:53:50.260 also be accused of being judgmental towards certain lifestyle choices. But I'm judgmental about, for

00:53:55.620 example, the lifestyle choices of, let's say, a man who announces that he's actually a woman and then

00:54:01.020 leaves his wife and kids and starts wearing dresses and makeup in public. That's an example of the kind

00:54:05.740 of lifestyle that I might harshly judge, that I might be judgmental towards. Yes, absolutely.

00:54:11.680 A leftist, on the other hand, will harshly judge a normal, straight, heterosexual man who has a wife

00:54:17.220 and kids and goes to work every day to provide for them and then comes home every night and eats dinner

00:54:21.200 with his wife that she prepared and then says prayers with his children before bed. Okay? Now, both choices

00:54:27.520 may be harshly judged by the two groups. But the very, very significant difference is that the latter

00:54:36.280 lifestyle choice is, well, rather, in this case, the latter lifestyle choice is healthy and good and

00:54:44.940 wonderful, right? The man who's with his wife and is faithful to her and they have a good family and

00:54:51.780 they pray and they eat dinner together. Like, that's a good thing. And the former lifestyle choice

00:54:57.620 is bad and destructive and maladjusted and harmful and disturbed. So, the problem is not

00:55:06.820 simply in the fact that judgments are being passed. The problem is that the judgment,

00:55:13.440 judgment, in the latter case, is totally deranged and psychotic. Okay? Now, so it's the substance 0.86

00:55:21.200 of the judgment that is the issue. But there is also an issue with style. Now, the Democrat Party

00:55:27.400 is mostly run by and exclusively caters to women and gay men. And that means that when they scold 1.00

00:55:36.320 straight men, they scold them like nagging shrews. And men hate being nagged. This is universal. If

00:55:43.880 you were to ask every man in the world to make a list of the top five things he hates, nagging would

00:55:50.440 make the list for every man. All four billion men, nagging would be on the list. Probably in the top 0.97

00:55:55.480 three. Maybe at the top. Maybe even number one. On the other hand, when conservatives call men out,

00:56:02.340 which we do, it tends to be done the way that men do it. See, men don't have a problem being called

00:56:09.720 out, necessarily. They just don't like being nagged. So, when the left lectures men, it sounds

00:56:15.000 like this. It sounds like, you know, that's really problematic. I can't believe you do that. I'm so

00:56:19.840 offended. How many times have I told you to stop that? I shouldn't have to keep telling you this.

00:56:26.180 You need to apologize. That's how the left lectures men. Now, if a conservative feels

00:56:32.220 a need to call men out, it's more like this. Hey, get your ass together. Like, man up. You 1.00

00:56:37.840 win. Stop. Nobody cares. Now, the first approach is guaranteed to be tuned out. Every time.

00:56:45.580 Guaranteed. No man wants to hear that. Once you get the finger wagging and this and that, 0.57

00:56:50.440 and I've told you so many times, we're not listening. I don't care what you're saying.

00:56:53.720 We're not listening. No man wants to be constantly lectured, regardless of the tone or style. But if you

00:56:59.740 need to admonish him for something, he much prefers the second option. Now, as men, if we need to slap

00:57:06.780 some sense into a friend, that's how we do it. We don't do that. I've told you so many. I'm so

00:57:13.120 offended. We don't do that. We say, dude, what are you doing? Like, get your ass together. Come on.

00:57:17.460 Get it together, man. That's how we do it. Now, Democrats can't speak to men that way. And if they do,

00:57:26.220 it sounds phony. It sounds like play acting. You know, it sounds like Tim Walz, right? Like, you're

00:57:33.640 trying to say the lines, but it's not natural to you. But generally, they can't even, even in a fake

00:57:40.380 way, they can't communicate with men that way because they are a party and a movement dominated by 0.99

00:57:45.600 ill-tempered, man-hating feminists. Democrats hate men too much to actually understand them or 1.00

00:57:52.080 communicate with them. And that's why David Hogg's great insight, you know, in the end is that young

00:57:58.740 men just want to get laid and have fun. And Bill Maher, like, can't get enough of that. He's, he's

00:58:03.880 thought that was the greatest thing that he's ever heard. He gets standing ovation for that incredible

00:58:08.700 insight. And this is what counts as, you know, profound wisdom coming from a mouthpiece of the

00:58:15.040 Democrat party or a former mouthpiece, I guess. But it is extremely superficial and ultimately insulting

00:58:22.240 because actually young men want a lot more than that out of life. They want success. They want

00:58:31.040 respect. They want not just to get laid. They want companionship. They want a wife. They want children.

00:58:37.980 They want a legacy. Every man likes having fun, but any person likes having fun. But no man is driven

00:58:47.240 by that desire at the deepest level of his soul. He's driven to pursue greatness. That is, unless he's

00:58:55.400 demoralized and defeated and just gives up, which a lot of men have. And that's the problem that we need

00:59:02.080 to fix. But it's a problem that guys like David Hogg can't do anything about and can't understand.

00:59:09.060 And that's why David Hogg and his former cohorts at the DNC are all today canceled. That'll do the show

00:59:15.660 today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

00:59:19.300 We'll be back.

00:59:23.540 Bye.
