The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1600 - Leftist Terrorist Blows Up A Fertility Clinic. This Is Part Of A Much Bigger Problem.

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a far-left terrorist blew up a fertility clinic in California a few

00:00:04.020 days ago. This event is not an aberration. The left is anti-human all the way up to the highest

00:00:08.400 levels of the movement. Also, Trump's DOJ files criminal charges against the congresswoman who

00:00:12.800 assaulted an ICE agent. The mayor of Chicago announces that he prefers to hire black people

00:00:16.820 because they are more generous. And 10 inmates escaped from a jail in New Orleans. Most of them

00:00:21.720 still have not been caught. Is this another case of dysfunctional DEI leadership? We'll talk about

00:00:26.100 all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:49.740 Well, it was just a few days ago that we discussed the extreme level of disdain that Democrats were

00:01:54.040 displaying seemingly out of nowhere towards a small number of white refugees who were arriving

00:01:58.080 in the United States. All at once, the same people with the yard signs that proclaim no one is illegal

00:02:03.020 and love is love were suddenly overcome with bloodlust, all because a handful of Afrikaners landed at

00:02:09.060 Dulles Airport. In the history of mask-off moments in this country, this one ranks pretty high on the

00:02:14.720 list. It's a bit like when the Manson family single-handedly destroyed the reputation of the hippie

00:02:19.700 movement, because once you start talking about murdering people or actually murdering people,

00:02:24.000 you can't really recover from it. No one's going to buy your peace and love shtick ever again.

00:02:28.480 They're going to see you exactly where you are. And in the case of the Afrikaners,

00:02:31.660 what underlies the race hatred on the left is their transparent desire to see all of Western

00:02:36.980 civilization crumble. Everyone understands that now. They want to import Somali fraudsters and

00:02:43.240 Central American gangsters while turning away white farmers, precisely because

00:02:46.960 they know that the white farmers will improve this country while the criminals will destroy it.

00:02:52.120 There's never been another point in American history where the political divide has been so

00:02:55.440 stark. On one side, you got one side that wants the United States to prosper, while the other wants

00:03:00.980 the entire continent to devolve into a dysfunctional wasteland. Now, they want to bring ruin to one of the

00:03:06.740 few remaining functional countries on the planet. And what this means is that, in essence, Democrats

00:03:12.480 have adopted nihilism. They're nihilists. They do not believe that human life has any inherent

00:03:18.820 worth or purpose. They reject truth and objectivity in all contexts. They're anti-human.

00:03:24.160 And they're no longer being very subtle about it. For years, it's been evident that nihilists and

00:03:29.380 pro-human conservatives have been on a collision course. And after all, these are not remotely

00:03:34.260 compatible ideologies. They're not capable of coexisting in one place for any significant amount of time.

00:03:39.800 humanity simply by existing enrages the anti-human nihilists. And these nihilists are realizing that

00:03:46.840 despite their best efforts, there's only so much destruction you can achieve by importing the third

00:03:51.380 world and murdering children in the womb. Therefore, it's only a matter of time until one of these

00:03:56.160 nihilists decides to take matters into his own hands and commit an act of terrorism. And on Saturday

00:04:00.420 morning, that's exactly what happened. So just before noon, less than an hour from downtown Palm Springs,

00:04:06.640 California, a 25-year-old man detonated a vehicle-borne explosive device in the car park

00:04:11.960 outside a fertility clinic called American Reproductive Centers. And according to the

00:04:17.340 authorities, the result was the largest bombing scene that we've had in Southern California.

00:04:22.780 Several people were injured. Offices were damaged. Although the lab at the facility clinic,

00:04:28.280 which houses the eggs and embryos, was not affected. That was like the actual target here,

00:04:33.060 but that was not affected. One man was thrown from his bike and the impact was felt two miles away.

00:04:38.840 Watch. A community in shock after a devastating explosion outside a fertility clinic in Palm Springs

00:04:47.100 that police say was intentional. Make no mistake, this is an intentional act of terrorism.

00:04:55.020 The blast field extending for blocks from the alleged target of the explosion,

00:04:59.160 the American Reproductive Centers Fertility Clinic.

00:05:02.680 We have a large explosion with the building compromised.

00:05:07.020 Police say the incident happened shortly after 11 a.m. Saturday when a car parked near the clinic

00:05:13.040 exploded.

00:05:14.360 We have one vehicle, looks like it is.

00:05:17.080 Oh, that's real.

00:05:18.880 It's a small explosion.

00:05:21.320 The blast ripping through the building.

00:05:24.340 Oh my God, what happened?

00:05:26.520 There are blocks of debris.

00:05:29.160 Now you can listen to that whole news report and you won't find any explanation of the suspect's

00:05:34.280 motives. And you know why that is. It's highly inconvenient for these people to tell the truth

00:05:37.900 about left-wing terrorism because they're still trying to convince everyone that white supremacy

00:05:41.460 is the greatest threat facing the country. So, so here is the truth. The bomber left behind

00:05:47.540 extensive writings and audio recordings on the internet, but meticulously explaining that he

00:05:52.780 committed this act of terrorism as part of a quote, war against pro-lifers. Those are his words.

00:05:58.780 And he says that the Bible is slander against Satan, that God is a quote, creep, and that quote,

00:06:05.760 your God definitely doesn't exist, but if he did, I'd choose Satan over your evil God.

00:06:11.080 The bomber also states that he wants to begin the process of quote, sterilizing this planet of the

00:06:15.960 disease of life. There's also reportedly some rage against Elon Musk, who famously opposes the

00:06:21.360 depopulation of the planet. A day before the attack, according to researcher Aaron Cruz,

00:06:26.320 the bomber openly posted his plans on a message board devoted to sanctioned suicide, which is a

00:06:33.000 thing that exists, a message board. And he posted right down to the precise bomb making techniques

00:06:38.740 that he planned to use and how he planned to be, you know, high on opiates at the time of the

00:06:42.440 explosion. But apparently no one reported the post, even though several people liked it and responded to

00:06:47.620 it. And if this reporting is accurate and it appears to be, then it's obviously yet another

00:06:52.340 indictment of our intelligence services. It's also a sign of how pervasive this anti-human death

00:06:57.960 cult is. There are entire communities devoted to ending the human race. And even when they're

00:07:03.320 talking about acts of terrorism, no one's paying any attention to them. But we should be paying

00:07:08.160 attention to them because what happened on Saturday was not an aberration. Nihilism is the guiding ethos

00:07:15.880 of the elite, which is why every day they're promoting it in one context or another. And maybe

00:07:22.880 the most striking case involves the left's current effort to secure the murder of a 21-week-old child

00:07:30.100 in the state of Georgia. Now, here's the background. In February, a 30-year-old woman named

00:07:35.380 Andreana Smith was nine weeks pregnant when she began suffering from severe headaches. She went

00:07:40.740 to the hospital, which gave her medications and sent her home. And the next day, according

00:07:44.560 to her boyfriend, she began gasping for air and making gurgling noises. A CT scan showed

00:07:49.080 that she had multiple blood clots in her brain. As of now, she's 21 weeks pregnant and she's

00:07:55.140 brain dead, tragically. And she's being kept alive on a ventilator for months so that she

00:08:00.600 can give birth. In other words, the doctors are doing everything they can to preserve the

00:08:05.080 life of the unborn child. There are two lives here at stake. And it looks like, tragically,

00:08:10.200 they're not going to be able to save the mother, but they can save the child. And so they're trying

00:08:16.580 to do that. Now, this is an outcome that, unless you're a demon who despises humanity, you would

00:08:25.480 obviously support. The alternative is to kill the child intentionally solely because his mother is

00:08:34.480 brain dead. But that alternative outcome is precisely what the corporate press is pushing

00:08:39.800 for. In fact, it also appears to be what the woman's family is pushing for. The woman's mother,

00:08:44.600 April Newkirk, just gave an interview with NBC News where she suggested that they might want to kill the

00:08:50.840 child because of the possibility that it will be difficult to raise him. Watch.

00:08:55.960 It's torture for me. I come here and I see my daughter breathing by the ventilator,

00:09:02.680 but she's not there. And I'm touching her. And she has a son who I bring to see.

00:09:09.300 Now, 21 weeks pregnant, her baby's health uncertain. She's pregnant with my grandson,

00:09:17.200 but my grandson may be blind, may not be able to walk, will chip out. We don't know if he'll

00:09:24.480 live once she has him. A situation she says no one should be forced into. It should have been left

00:09:30.580 up to the family because I'm in my 50s. Her dad is in his 50s. So we're going to have the responsibility

00:09:38.080 with her partner to raise her sons, you know? And I'm not saying that we would have chose to

00:09:45.640 terminate her pregnancy. What I'm saying is we should have had a choice. We should have had a

00:09:51.560 choice. Hmm. So usually they say my body, my choice. In this case, it's her body, my choice is

00:09:58.740 what the grandmother is saying. The other thing you'll notice from the family here and from the

00:10:08.080 is they're not even really claiming that this is what the woman, the mother would want.

00:10:15.640 Like, obviously she's obviously, I don't think there's any woman on the planet, any pregnant woman

00:10:21.360 on the planet who, if she became brain dead, would actually want her baby to die also.

00:10:28.820 Okay. Like if she had, before going unconscious, let's say she had a few seconds where she could

00:10:35.660 express her wishes. Is there any chance that she would, her dying wish would be, oh, make sure my

00:10:41.380 baby also dies. So they're not even pretending that they're doing, that they want to do what the,

00:10:48.060 what the actual mother wants. This is what they want. So you can tell what's going on here. She

00:10:54.700 understands that if she comes out and tells doctors to murder her own grandchild, everybody

00:11:00.460 will immediately recognize what a cartoonishly evil goblin she is. So instead she suggests that

00:11:06.400 she just wants the choice to decide whether to kill her grandchild, um, without saying definitively

00:11:12.320 whether she'd follow through with it. Nevermind the fact that obviously the only reason she'd want

00:11:16.940 the choice is so that she can exercise that choice. I mean, you wouldn't be clamoring for the choice

00:11:21.360 to kill someone unless you planned on doing it. And that's evident by the end of the interview

00:11:27.160 where she states that she's in her fifties and therefore she's incapable of taking care of a

00:11:30.820 child. That's, I mean, one of the excuses she uses to murder her own grandchild is, oh, I'm in my

00:11:36.120 fifties and so is my husband. So how could I possibly help raise the child better kill him instead.

00:11:41.940 Now just pause to consider the implications of that statement for a second, and then realize that

00:11:46.460 a major television network aired it sympathetically as if there's nothing deranged and demonic about

00:11:52.380 it. She's looking at one tragedy, the death of her daughter, which is a terrible tragedy.

00:11:57.540 And then openly, uh, uh, requesting the opportunity to kill another family member, uh, another member

00:12:05.200 of her family. I mean, there are women in their nineties who would leap at the opportunity to help

00:12:09.680 raise their grandchild, especially if it meant saving his life, you know, especially if the other option

00:12:15.180 was to kill him. But this woman's just too old for that. Apparently of course, if she were in her

00:12:21.100 twenties or thirties, then we'd be hearing about how the grandchild is too inconvenient for her career

00:12:24.800 or whatever. Uh, so people like this will rationalize murder in one way or another. That's a given now

00:12:30.340 to be as fair as possible to this very evil person. She does offer another excuse besides being in her

00:12:38.680 fifties. She also says that it's possible her grandchild might be blind and may not be able to walk.

00:12:43.620 And therefore, uh, we're supposed to sympathize with her decision to kill the child

00:12:48.740 because he, he might be disabled. I mean, what she's saying is my grandchild might be disabled.

00:12:54.960 And so I'd rather probably just kill him. Now in a functioning moral society, this woman would be

00:13:02.480 in prison for plotting to kill her disabled grandchild. And at the very least she'd be receiving

00:13:07.080 a psych evaluation as we speak. Instead, she's being encouraged to say all this and the corporate

00:13:13.920 press and the left are completely behind her. And of course, that's why she's doing it. She's

00:13:17.720 flippantly justifying the murder of her own grandchild because for her whole life, she's been

00:13:21.880 told that it's her right to commit murder. And she lacks the moral character and intelligence to come

00:13:26.320 to any other conclusion. Now for Democrats in the media, this angle is pretty clear. Um, they're,

00:13:31.220 they're suggesting that Georgia's heartbeat law, which bans abortions after roughly six weeks in most

00:13:35.500 cases has resulted in a dystopian scenario where women are being chained to beds and forced to

00:13:41.140 give birth. Uh, they're not talking about the life of the child at all. They're not even discussing

00:13:45.620 the extraordinary circumstances involved in this particular case. Instead, they're pretending

00:13:49.840 that women are going to be lined up enslaved and turned into baby making machines at scale.

00:13:54.900 Now here's one representative social media posts that has more than 5 million views and hundreds of

00:13:58.920 thousands of likes. It says, quote, remember the episode in the handmaid's tale where a brain dead

00:14:03.620 black handmaid has kept on life support enough to give birth. This is happening in Atlanta,

00:14:08.140 Georgia right now. Her name is Adriana Smith. She was only nine weeks when the state kidnapped her

00:14:12.660 body from her family, close quote. Yes, the state kidnapped her body from her family, according to

00:14:19.320 this post. Of course, they omit any explanation of what actually happened. They don't explain that

00:14:24.820 the alternative is to murder the child. Instead, we just get a pop culture reference. And this really,

00:14:32.060 you know, gets at a larger problem, which is that there's a, you know, a high proportion of the

00:14:36.640 population that's only capable of engaging in any kind of moral reasoning by using analogies to

00:14:42.940 recent works of fiction. This is how Democrats are taught to think. And of course, they dutifully

00:14:48.280 obey. But it's, um, not how the leaders of the Democrat party think. I mean, they're, they're more

00:14:54.260 intelligent and more evil. And if you listen to them long enough, they'll explain exactly what they

00:14:59.480 have in mind for the future of this country. They won't simply embrace the so-called great

00:15:03.560 replacement theory. They'll go into great detail explaining why it's bad for Americans to have

00:15:08.960 nuclear families and to believe in Christ. They'll also elaborate on why it's better for foreigners

00:15:14.240 to come into this country and have large families to replace all the natives. Here's, uh, Hillary Clinton

00:15:18.920 recently, for example, listen to this. As I posted the other day, this very blatant effort to

00:15:27.280 basically send a message most exemplified by Vance and Musk and others, um, that, you know,

00:15:33.160 what we really need from you women are more children. Um, and what that really means is

00:15:38.900 you should go back to doing what you were born to do, uh, which is to produce more children.

00:15:45.900 But if you had read, uh, the Heritage Foundation's Project 2025, despite Trump saying he knew nothing

00:15:52.640 about it, if you had read it, it's all in there. It's all in there. Return to, uh, the family,

00:15:58.460 the nuclear family, uh, return to being a Christian nation, uh, return to, you know, producing a lot

00:16:05.560 of children, um, which is sort of odd because the people who produce the most children in our

00:16:11.400 country are immigrants and they want to deport them. So none of this adds up. Um, but, you know,

00:16:16.640 one of the reasons why our economy did so much better than comparable, uh, advanced economies across

00:16:22.520 the world is because we actually had a replenishment because we had a lot of immigrants legally and

00:16:28.160 undocumented, uh, who, uh, had a, uh, you know, larger than, uh, normal by American standards,

00:16:36.260 uh, families. So we've been having a lot of, uh, mask off moments lately on the left, and this is

00:16:41.860 one of the more revealing ones. Notice what she's not saying. She's not explaining what's wrong with

00:16:46.260 Christianity. She's also not explaining why it's wrong to advocate for stable two-parent households.

00:16:50.980 Twenty years ago, this would have been an issue that a hundred percent of Americans would agree

00:16:54.340 on. I mean, every single person would have told you that an intact two-parent households are a

00:16:58.720 good thing. But now we have one of the most prominent Democrats in the world stating as if

00:17:03.420 it's obvious to everyone that it's bad to advocate for Christian nuclear families. And then she

00:17:08.640 immediately reveals exactly what, uh, she doesn't like about the nuclear family. She wants illegal aliens

00:17:13.780 who she calls undocumented to replenish the American population. She wants this country to lose its

00:17:20.020 national identity as quickly as possible. And the nuclear family stands in the way of that.

00:17:23.620 Of course, even if Hillary Clinton really believed that foreign nationals are a net benefit to the

00:17:28.280 American economy, which they aren't, uh, there's still no reason whatsoever for her to advocate

00:17:32.700 against stable American families. I mean, that part of her argument is completely unexplained.

00:17:38.440 You'd think if this, you know, that she would support foreign migration in addition to American

00:17:43.380 families, but she doesn't. She only supports the illegal aliens because she knows that eventually

00:17:48.780 they will completely replace this country's population. And once they do that, every country

00:17:53.400 will be just as dysfunctional as Somalia and Haiti and Venezuela, food shortages and diseases will

00:17:57.760 spread and millions of people will die. Hillary Clinton knows all that and she's doing everything

00:18:03.760 in her power, which is thankfully limited at the moment to make it happen. And that tells you for at

00:18:09.400 least the third time this week that Democrats are fundamentally an anti-human party. They reject the

00:18:15.500 idea that human life has any intrinsic value. They also despise Western civilization. They see third

00:18:21.660 world migration as a way to destabilize and destroy it. And anti-natalism is the core plank of this

00:18:28.060 ideology. It's evident in the terrorist attack in California. It's evident in this deranged effort

00:18:32.380 by a grandmother to unlock the option of murdering her own grandchild. And it's evident if you listen to

00:18:38.240 Hillary Clinton speak for five seconds, this is a worldview that has taken hold at every level of the

00:18:43.580 left. And it's only sustainable because most people don't see the full scope of what's

00:18:49.260 happening. But for the sake of the future generations, generations that these people badly don't want to

00:18:54.880 exist, it's time to start paying attention. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:20:04.360 Last week, we talked about the story of Democrat Representative LaMonica MacGyver, who assaulted an ICE

00:20:11.540 agent while trying to storm into an ICE detainment center along with a number of other Democrats. And I said

00:20:18.140 at the time, lots of us said, that MacGyver needs to be held accountable. And the same way that any of us

00:20:24.220 would be held accountable if we did the same thing, which means criminal charges. And now that's exactly

00:20:31.020 what's happened. Daily Wire reports, on Monday, the Department of Justice announced that Representative

00:20:34.280 LaMonica MacGyver has been charged in connection with a scuffle at an immigration and customs enforcement

00:20:40.360 detention facility in Newark, New Jersey, earlier this month. Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of

00:20:46.660 New Jersey, Alina Habba, said, today my office has charged Congressman MacGyver with violation of

00:20:51.380 Title 18, United States Code Section 111A1 for assaulting, impeding, and interfering with law

00:20:58.400 enforcement. So that's the announcement, which is very good. And naturally, Democrats are responding

00:21:09.200 to this by trying to turn MacGyver into a martyr. You know, she's the new Rosa Parks or something

00:21:14.160 because she's being prosecuted for committing a crime. Ted Lieu tweeted this,

00:21:17.400 the criminal charge against Congresswoman MacGyver is extreme morally bankrupt and lacks any basis in

00:21:22.980 law or fact. This is a blatant attempt to intimidate Congress and interfere with our ability to serve

00:21:28.320 as checks and balance on an out-of-control executive branch. Eric Swalwell agreed. He said, he tweeted,

00:21:36.180 a red line has been crossed. Trump is prosecuting his political enemies in Congress. This is just the

00:21:41.800 beginning. We must take whatever we've done before to show dissent and go one rung higher.

00:21:47.400 Whatever the hell that means. So just totally shameless as expected, the people who prosecuted

00:21:53.580 the president are now accusing him of prosecuting his political enemies. And of course, the difference

00:21:58.600 is that Trump didn't actually commit a crime. Meanwhile, this woman committed a crime on camera.

00:22:05.500 We can all see it. It's right there. She throws an elbow and shoves an ICE officer in an effort to

00:22:12.340 gain illegal entry into a federal building. That's a crime. That's a crime in like six different ways.

00:22:19.420 And you'll notice that no one is actually offering any legal defense of this person. No one is explaining

00:22:24.380 why her actions don't constitute a crime. No one's doing that. No one is saying, well, no, it was,

00:22:29.820 it was totally, completely legal for her to violently storm in immigrant detention facility

00:22:35.000 because, you know, X, Y, Z. Um, there's none of that. They're not even attempting to defend it on

00:22:42.660 the merits. Their position is that basically, yeah, she committed an obvious crime. We can all see it,

00:22:47.600 but she should be allowed to do it. And that's, it's a ridiculous position, but it's also,

00:22:54.040 it's not so ridiculous when you consider that this is the privilege Democrats and their political allies

00:22:58.960 have been given for a long time. So they just assumed that it would continue this way, but, um,

00:23:06.100 it looks like things are changing, thankfully. All right. So the media has been scrambling to

00:23:11.040 figure out a narrative in light of the news that Biden is dying of cancer and almost certainly had

00:23:15.720 it and knew he had it through the entirety of his presidency, uh, perhaps the worst coverup in the

00:23:20.980 history of American politics. So they're trying to figure out a way to kind of massage the, the message,

00:23:25.640 uh, um, on this thing. And so here's what they've come up with. Here's the, uh, the medical expert

00:23:34.760 quote unquote on CBS news offering the closest thing to an excuse that they can muster. And let's

00:23:42.960 listen to it. So it took a while to do that. Wouldn't he be getting regular checkups? Yeah. So it depends

00:23:50.020 on the kind of cancer you're talking about here. We do know it's quite aggressive again. So the time in

00:23:55.400 which it would take to spread to the bones is going to be shorter than with a less aggressive

00:23:59.320 cancer. And he's 82. Normally doctors will stop screening for prostate cancer at 75 or so, because

00:24:06.600 after that, the prostate cancers you typically pick up are very slow growing. And so the harms of all of

00:24:13.320 the testing and treatment for something that may not kill you, uh, you know, you're talking about

00:24:18.140 risk versus benefit. It may not be worth the risk. Isn't there a blood test that men can take to know

00:24:23.620 if they have an issue that might, uh, warrant further examination?

00:24:27.500 So there's something that we call a PSA test, but that can also be indicative of many different

00:24:31.900 things. It could just be, you have an enlarged prostate. Maybe you have a low grade infection

00:24:36.980 in the prostate. There are many things that can cause that. And so this is again, why after a certain

00:24:41.340 age, doctors will typically stop screening for prostate cancer. Um, but in his case, it's not screening.

00:24:47.880 It's important to emphasize this was diagnostic because he had urinary symptoms. And so there

00:24:53.660 was a reason to do more testing. Uh, quickly, what is your final message to men of a certain age?

00:24:58.540 So that's what they're going with. They, they must've stopped screening Biden because he was

00:25:06.420 really old. That's what they're going with. And this excuse of course, ignores the fact that first

00:25:10.820 of all, the initial screening, uh, as, as we heard there, it involves a blood test. There isn't much

00:25:15.260 risk involved in taking a blood test. And second, he's the president of the United States. Okay.

00:25:20.420 His screenings are going to be much more thorough, uh, or they should be much more thorough than what

00:25:26.880 most men his age would get. So there's this gaslighting of, of talking about him as if he's

00:25:33.640 just some, as if he's like a random retiree. And well, you know, typically what doctors will do,

00:25:38.880 it's not typical. He's the president. So, um, if you're a normal 80 year old man and you aren't the

00:25:46.880 president and you're retired and you know, just hanging out with your grandchildren every day,

00:25:52.900 which is what Joe Biden should have been doing. Then I can understand having the attitude that

00:25:57.820 you're not going to go and get a bunch of screenings and checkups all the time. I mean,

00:26:01.000 you're 80 and you probably have a bunch of health problems at that age. Um, you don't have much time

00:26:06.260 left on earth regardless. So why obsess over health screenings? Just go live your life. I mean,

00:26:11.580 you're going to be dead most likely within five or 10 years, no matter what you do.

00:26:16.440 And I'm not saying that elderly people should neglect their health entirely or commit like

00:26:20.380 slow motion suicide. Obviously I'm just saying that I would understand why at 80, you may not

00:26:26.480 bother being super aggressive, uh, with like constant health screenings and everything.

00:26:31.620 So that, that makes sense unless you're the president, obviously. So here's what I'll say.

00:26:39.980 I think, I think they knew about this and they covered it up. You know, I think that's what

00:26:44.480 happened, but there is one version of the, they didn't know story that is plausible. There's one

00:26:53.600 plausible version of that story. And it's this, that maybe they didn't actually know about the

00:27:01.640 cancer officially because maybe they specifically didn't screen him for cancer or any other serious

00:27:07.540 health problem because they knew based on his age and his obvious deterioration that he almost

00:27:13.400 certainly had serious health problems and they didn't want to find evidence of them, which they

00:27:17.820 would then have to hide or report to the public. So, you know, I could see a scenario maybe where

00:27:24.580 they essentially covered up Biden's cancer by just making sure to never check under the assumption that

00:27:30.640 he probably did have cancer. You know, and that it's like, that would be a coverup with plausible

00:27:35.680 deniability. Uh, because at the age of 80, your chance of having prostate cancer is really high.

00:27:42.800 I mean, it's like very high. Um, and when you look like Biden and you're clearly falling apart,

00:27:49.720 then I mean, it's like virtually guaranteed that there's some kind of cancer going on and there's

00:27:54.000 all kinds of stuff going on. Um, so maybe they just made sure to never check. They covered up the

00:28:01.620 illness while giving themselves plausible deniability by never officially discovering the

00:28:06.640 illnesses that they knew were there, but they just didn't check because they didn't, you know,

00:28:09.640 they didn't want the evidence of it that they would then have to do something with.

00:28:12.800 Um, so I could, there's a, there's a scenario I could see where that, where that's, but that's

00:28:23.420 still a coverup. I mean, that doesn't let them off the hook at all. That's just, that would be,

00:28:28.300 I guess, another way of like, that would be the most clever way of going about this diabolical plan

00:28:33.860 to keep an elderly sick man in office and hide it from the American people.

00:28:38.280 The, the cleverest and safest way would be just that just like, okay, we're going to do a health

00:28:44.720 screening. We're doing a health screening, but we're going to do it in a way that it's guaranteed.

00:28:49.460 We're not going to find any problems. Um, so what did it, what did his, so when he, when he went in

00:28:57.880 for his, you know, six month checkups or whatever it is, and we got the, and the, and the doctor came

00:29:01.520 back and, um, said that he's the, the healthiest man on the planet. Uh, what, what did that screening

00:29:09.380 involve? What were they actually doing? Were they running this whole battery of tests and then just

00:29:15.400 hiding the results? As I said, I think that's possible. They did that, but if you're involved

00:29:24.400 in a plot like this, that's not the smartest way. That's a pretty dumb way to do it. The smarter way to

00:29:29.060 do it is just to say, okay, uh, do a health screening. Uh, you know, listen to his lungs

00:29:33.680 and check his blood pressure and, uh, and, and let's do a wait, you know, we'll have, we'll put

00:29:38.380 them on the scale and, uh, and we'll, we'll call it a day and that that'll be the screening.

00:29:45.900 So maybe that's what happened. Okay. We've already heard about the Trump DOJ prosecuting a Democrat

00:29:50.940 for trying to storm an immigrant detention center. Uh, well, it's also been announced that

00:29:54.920 they are investigating as well, the mayor of Chicago for something entirely separate. Um,

00:30:03.300 they're investigating the mayor of Chicago because the mayor of Chicago admitted to engaging in racial

00:30:08.000 discrimination and hiring. So here is Brandon Johnson, the mayor of Chicago speaking at a

00:30:12.620 church over the weekend and just listen to how absolutely blatant and shameless this guy is.

00:30:19.780 Let's listen to this. I'm detractors that will push back on me and say, you know, the only thing

00:30:25.200 that the mayor talks about is the hiring of black people. No, what I'm saying is when you hire our

00:30:31.520 people, we always look out for everybody else. We are the most generous people on the planet.

00:30:41.360 I don't know too many cultures that have play cousins. That's how generous we are.

00:30:45.540 We just make somebody a family member, right? This is how we are. And so business and economic

00:30:53.920 neighborhood development, the deputy mayor is a black woman. Department of planning and development

00:30:59.340 is a black woman. Infrastructure deputy mayor is a black woman. Chief operations officer is a black man.

00:31:08.740 Budget director is a black woman. Senior advisor is a black man. And I'm laying that out because when

00:31:17.460 you, when you ask, how do we ensure that our people get a chance to grow their business?

00:31:25.280 Okay. So is this a crime? Did this scumbag just confess to a crime? Yes, obviously it's not even,

00:31:31.120 I mean, it's not even close to borderline there. There is a, there's not even an interesting

00:31:35.340 discussion to be had about it. These are civil rights violations all day long. He just confessed

00:31:40.280 on camera as an elected official that he prioritizes hiring members of his own race.

00:31:44.320 And he prioritizes them because he thinks they're better people. Now he thinks they're more generous.

00:31:51.220 This is not legal at all. I mean, he should be removed from office and imprisoned. This is a,

00:31:57.260 this is a crime that he's confessed to. And, um, you know, I can buy that oftentimes it's difficult

00:32:04.480 to prosecute the anti-white racists in government, even though there's so many of them.

00:32:08.160 And sometimes it might be practically difficult to do because it's hard to prove that they had

00:32:12.660 racist motives. Like you can observe all day that they, uh, that they, you know, that, that all they

00:32:18.440 do is, is hire black women and, you know, in all these positions. I mean, you could, so without

00:32:24.420 mayor Johnson saying any of that, you could look at his, at this, uh, at the government that he's

00:32:31.360 assembled and all the positions that he's appointed. And you could see that it was like,

00:32:36.820 it's like nothing but black women. And you know, it's like, there's no way that that happened

00:32:40.760 accidentally. Um, but it's hard to prove intent. Well, in this case, Brandon Johnson has done us

00:32:49.100 the great favor of offering a full confession on camera. He specifically told us that he hires

00:32:55.060 black people over white people because he thinks his own people, quote unquote, are more generous

00:33:00.080 so it's right there. I mean, he needs to go to prison, not just remove from office prison.

00:33:07.400 Now here's the other part that goes without saying, but, but I will say it.

00:33:12.620 And I hate using this phrase because I know I sound like an impotent, you know, Republican

00:33:16.120 pundit going, uh, imagine if the roles were reversed. Can you imagine, can you imagine if

00:33:21.760 the roles were reversed? But well, yeah, imagine if the roles are reversed. Uh, I mean, and this

00:33:31.260 is important because it helps us to understand what's happening in the culture right now. So

00:33:36.260 let's, let's game this out. Let's, let's imagine that say, uh, Andrew Cuomo becomes the next mayor

00:33:44.660 of New York. And then imagine that he goes on camera and says, imagine Andrew Cuomo mayor of

00:33:53.480 the, he's the next mayor of New York saying, you know, when you hire our people, white people,

00:33:59.800 we always look out for everyone. We white people are the most generous people on the planet. Our,

00:34:05.340 our people are so generous. And so, yes, the deputy mayor is a white man. The department of planning

00:34:10.780 and development is a white man. Chief operations officer is a white man. Senior advisor is a

00:34:15.600 white man. And I do this because this is how you ensure that our people get a chance to grow their

00:34:21.520 business. I mean, if Andrew Cuomo said that he would not survive the day politically, professionally,

00:34:30.100 maybe even physically, there would be riots in the street. It would be the only thing the media

00:34:35.920 talked about for the next seven weeks. Everybody would condemn him loudly, everybody on all sides.

00:34:44.960 But mayor Johnson says this exact thing. And the reaction is not anywhere close to that.

00:34:52.520 I mean, most people just accept the media accepts it. The media celebrates it, if anything.

00:34:55.960 In fact, if a white politician, a white politician can't even speak highly of white people in this

00:35:07.160 way, even if he's complimenting other races to the same degree. Now, Brandon Johnson explicitly said

00:35:15.320 that black people are the most generous. They are better than other races. That's what he just said.

00:35:21.880 But a white politician couldn't even say like, yeah, black people are great and very generous and

00:35:29.760 Hispanic people are great and they're very generous and good people. And, you know, white people too are

00:35:34.600 great people and they're very generous. Even that would be a major controversy. We all know that.

00:35:41.160 A white politician, a white person in general is not allowed to praise his own race at all, period.

00:35:47.200 Like, you cannot say something positive. To say something, to say, to use the word white people

00:35:54.940 in a sentence followed by something positive is considered deeply controversial at best.

00:36:07.020 Meanwhile, you've got Brandon Johnson, who's not some Twitter troll, right? He's the mayor of one of

00:36:12.320 the biggest cities in the country. And we hear overt, explicit anti-white bias.

00:36:21.600 So, so here's the point. This is not sustainable. You know, the dynamic where every race and ethnicity

00:36:29.800 on the planet advocates explicitly for themselves shows blatant favoritism, often explicit racism.

00:36:36.380 While at the same time, white people are told that they can't even notice their own race at all.

00:36:44.020 That's just not sustainable. It cannot work this way. You cannot have black politicians openly

00:36:51.780 announcing that they favor their own race while at the same time insisting that white people have

00:36:56.960 must have absolutely no positive feelings about their own race at all. Like, it doesn't work.

00:37:04.240 And before we even get into the question of whether this is such a dynamic is actually desirable,

00:37:12.000 which it isn't, the more salient point is that it's not possible. It's not possible to sustain

00:37:19.920 this kind of selective colorblindness. It can't work that way. It just can't. A society cannot

00:37:27.680 sustain this kind of wildly out of balance standard. Everything will level out. Everything flattens out

00:37:35.740 eventually. It cannot be avoided. So when you hear people, even on the right, and there's a lot of

00:37:43.000 this on the right in particular right now, lamenting the, you know, the rise of white racial consciousness.

00:37:52.420 Well, yeah. I mean, what did you expect?

00:38:00.520 It's actually inevitable. Now, I'm not sure that a society without racial tribalism is possible.

00:38:10.300 There's no evidence on the planet of such a thing ever really existing. But I know for certain that

00:38:17.880 you can't have a society where every race is tribal except one. That just can't exist. It just cannot.

00:38:26.740 It's not a thing that can exist. And given that it's a, again, a wildly out of balance standard,

00:38:36.020 it's also not desirable. We shouldn't even be trying to make such a society exist where there's

00:38:41.400 this wildly out of balance standard applied. Whatever the standard is, it should be applied to

00:38:48.540 everybody. So, you know, a society where black people and Asians and Hispanics and indigenous,

00:38:57.320 all, you know, all races and ethnicities talking about how great they are and how proud of themselves

00:39:04.740 they are, while white people, if they talk about their whiteness at all, are only allowed to say

00:39:11.440 negative things about it. That is not a desirable goal in the first place. And again, for the millionth

00:39:17.840 time, it can't happen. It cannot work that way. It just can't. This is crazy. This is insane.

00:39:28.400 And regardless of what you want or don't want, here's the other thing. Standards need to be applied

00:39:35.440 equally, period. No matter the standard. And if you like the standard, then you should want the standard

00:39:42.300 to apply to everybody. So if the standard is that, you know, it's acceptable for a person,

00:39:47.780 even an elected leader to speak highly of their own race and to refer to their race as our people,

00:39:53.740 as Brandon Johnson does. If you like that standard, right? If you, if you listen to that clip and you

00:40:00.720 go, yeah, I think that's how people should talk. Well, then again, you should want that to be applied

00:40:06.400 to everybody. If you don't like that standard, if you listen to that clip and you go, I, that's

00:40:14.580 horrible. I don't want people talking that way. Well, again, you should want the standard to be

00:40:19.840 applied to everyone because the only way to expose a bad standard is for it to be equally applied.

00:40:27.040 So however you feel about the standard, however you feel about it, the solution cannot be, okay,

00:40:34.020 well, I don't like it, but yeah, we'll let them do it, but not them over there. That nope, nope,

00:40:38.000 nope. Doesn't work. Cannot do it that way. You cannot have a society that works that way. It just

00:40:43.940 can't happen. So, um, and so that, that's what we're seeing. We're seeing this, this, this attempt

00:40:54.500 at this totally insane, unsustainable dynamic. It is just falling apart because it was always

00:41:04.000 destined to, uh, and, uh, what's the answer on the other side of it? Well, as I say about

00:41:14.940 everything, one standard for everybody, that's the answer. One standard for everybody.

00:41:20.300 All right, let's get to the comment section.

00:41:34.460 Aging creeps into everyday life in ways that you hardly notice at first. The mornings take a bit

00:41:39.200 longer. You find yourself needing more recovery time after activities. You start choosing the

00:41:43.600 comfortable shoes without a second thought. I certainly don't age myself and I'm still in my

00:41:47.980 prime, but for the rest of you, luckily there's qualia life to take the edge off of getting old

00:42:52.560 Matt, I'm six foot five inches, moderately attractive face and have visible abs. I've only

00:42:57.840 had about 15 matches in the past three years on dating apps. I have much better luck in person when

00:43:02.320 it comes to attracting women. When it comes to online dating as a man, if you aren't absolutely

00:43:05.760 perfect, don't even try it. It will kill your self-esteem. You have to be physically attractive,

00:43:09.620 financially successful, have good pictures and hobbies. By the time you figure this out,

00:43:13.220 you won't even have the motivation to keep trying because you realize how shallow people can be

00:43:17.440 when you're reduced to pixels on a screen. Well, yeah, that's the problem. And it doesn't

00:43:24.600 necessarily have to be this way. I mean, there is a way to approach online dating and dating sites and

00:43:28.820 dating apps that actually facilitates meaningful connections and gives decent guys a chance.

00:43:35.460 I don't know enough about the current dating app marketplace to say whether any of those kinds

00:43:40.680 of sites still exist. eHarmony used to be like that. I have no clue if it still is. But generally,

00:43:49.200 yeah, that's the problem. And certainly with apps like Tinder, it's the problem. And I think the answer,

00:43:55.800 like I said yesterday, is to start looking out in the real world.

00:44:02.100 Another comment says, as far as dating for men goes, I don't believe in giving up and men should

00:44:07.460 work on themselves by working out, making more money, et cetera. However, if online dating is

00:44:11.700 so unfair to men and approaching women in real life as such a liability with accusations and attitude,

00:44:16.440 I really don't know what he expects most guys to do. I personally don't feel that I should put up

00:44:20.640 with the nonsense and disrespect so many women are dishing out. I just have too much sense and respect

00:44:25.060 for myself to allow anyone to treat me like that. Well, you said it in your first sentence. You

00:44:30.380 don't believe in giving up. Neither do I. Giving up is not a solution. It is the opposite of a

00:44:36.340 solution. It's an anti-solution. And also, let's just be real about this. Yes, in the post-MeToo era,

00:44:46.740 there is a certain risk involved in approaching women in real life. But it's not a major liability

00:44:54.280 most of the time if you're a smart person. I mean, you should be able to talk to women without

00:45:02.540 being accused of sexual harassment. Millions of men talk to women every day without being accused

00:45:08.680 of sexual harassment. It's possible to do that even now. And I'm not saying that false claims don't

00:45:15.040 happen. They obviously do. And yes, there are women who are kind of conditioned through feminist

00:45:23.920 propaganda to see even a guy being polite as him harassing her. So all that is true.

00:45:37.520 But I don't think it's as though the situation is so bad that a man just simply can't even speak

00:45:42.660 to a woman anymore without being branded a sex predator or something. Because again, it is

00:45:48.720 possible to do. Guys do this every single day, millions of times a day, every day. So it is

00:45:53.680 possible. And I think the real reason that single guys don't talk to women, I don't think it's

00:46:01.480 mainly because they're afraid they'll get MeToo'd. I think it's just because they're nervous.

00:46:07.340 Right? It's kind of your standard social anxiety that anybody has. The thing about the dating app

00:46:15.520 is that, as we talked about yesterday, a guy got rejected 2 million times, and that's pretty

00:46:20.600 demoralizing. And it adds up after a while. But you don't really feel, like, you feel the cumulative

00:46:29.480 weight of all of those rejections, but you don't feel each individual rejection because it's not

00:46:35.220 happening to you. It's being facilitated through this app. And everybody's just pixels on a screen.

00:46:43.380 Being rejected in person by someone is a lot more painful. And so I think that's the real reason

00:46:48.160 that guys don't do it. But, I mean, you got to get over that fear if you don't want to be alone

00:46:54.300 forever. Donovan says, I think two of the biggest issues young men are facing today are, one, the rise

00:47:00.660 of unrealistic standards from some women, and two, a widespread lack of self-awareness among men when

00:47:05.500 it comes to how they interact with women. The second point has become especially noticeable.

00:47:09.260 Too many guys embody the Tinder bro stereotype, thinking that their frat boy charm and surface

00:47:13.320 level confidence are enough to attract women. In reality, that approach falls flat. Women are

00:47:17.660 looking for more than just someone who can provide and protect, although those things still matter.

00:47:21.840 They also want a man who's intellectually engaging, someone who can hold a meaningful conversation and

00:47:25.460 demonstrate critical thinking. Yes, it's true that modern dating comes with challenges,

00:47:28.560 social media, DMs, and hyper-sexualized content create a weird dynamic that doesn't always work

00:47:33.200 in men's favor. But here's the truth. If you stop whining about double standards and start working

00:47:38.400 on becoming a man of value mentally, physically, and emotionally, you'll be just fine. Take it from

00:47:42.580 an average guy who married way out of his league. Yeah, I wouldn't disagree with anything that you said.

00:47:47.260 I mean, this is the point. You can't control what anyone else does. You can't fix these major

00:47:52.560 overarching social problems on your own. You can only fix yourself. I know it's a cliche,

00:47:57.960 but it's like a self-help cliche, but it's also true. And that means that, yes, you have to become

00:48:07.560 a man of value. In fact, a man of value, which also means a man of potential, right? Because if you

00:48:18.340 are a young single guy, the young women of value, the ones that you should be pursuing

00:48:24.760 are going to be the ones who are attracted to your potential. And what I mean is, as a young guy,

00:48:33.780 you probably aren't going to be in a great financial position. You aren't yet totally established in

00:48:39.140 life. You're building towards all of that, but it's not your fault that you're not there. I mean,

00:48:42.440 if you're 25, 24 years old, no one can hold it against you. And it would be ridiculous for a

00:48:51.280 woman to hold it against you, although plenty do, but they shouldn't hold it against you that you're

00:48:55.720 not well-established yet in life. You're a young guy. But a good woman is one who doesn't expect

00:49:02.580 you as a 24, 25-year-old guy to have everything figured out and have a million dollars in the bank.

00:49:08.120 A good woman can see that you're... So how do you broadcast, how do you get across potential?

00:49:17.640 Well, you show that you're a striver, you're a hard worker, you're ambitious. And

00:49:23.500 if you get that message across, then a good woman is going to want to get in on the ground floor with

00:49:32.480 you, essentially, right? Build a life with you. So you need to project yourself as somebody,

00:49:38.120 with that kind of potential. And again, it's an important point because you hear from a lot of

00:49:43.940 young guys who say, well, there's no hope because I'm not rich and all this kind of stuff.

00:49:51.300 Well, it's like, you don't have to be. I mean, if you're in your 40s and you're out in the dating

00:49:57.980 world and you're not well-established and you have a less than average income and all that,

00:50:04.420 then that becomes a bigger problem. But as a young guy, it shouldn't really be a problem.

00:50:10.100 And I know it is, again, it is for some women, but those are not women that are worth your time.

00:50:15.100 A good woman is going to see the potential.

00:50:16.980 And like I've said, I've told the story many times, that's how I ended up getting married as a broke

00:50:27.220 25-year-old radio DJ. My wife, when we were first married, she used to make these absolutely wild

00:50:34.160 claims of where she thought I would be in my career 10 years in the future. And it turns out that she was

00:50:41.960 right. And that's a high-quality woman who's looking for, sees ambition, sees a work ethic, and that's what

00:50:56.760 attracts her. Let's see. That was the most adorable cancellation. You can tell he really wants to help

00:51:04.980 these single kids. You know, nobody's ever described anything I've done or said as adorable

00:51:11.700 before, much less the daily cancellation, which is supposed to strike fear into the hearts of those

00:51:16.840 who are canceled. So you are banned from the show. Goes without saying. But thanks for watching.

00:51:52.020 On Mardi Gras in New Orleans back in 2018, a man named Derek Groves, along with an accomplice,

00:52:03.980 opened fire at a neighborhood party with an AK-47. And by the time Groves was done,

00:52:08.500 more than 70 shell casings were on the street and two men were dead. Investigators later determined that

00:52:12.900 Groves had been hired to kill a heroin dealer, but he completely missed the target. Instead,

00:52:18.060 he killed a couple of random bystanders. But Groves didn't let that minor detail slow him down.

00:52:23.080 In the following days, he took credit for the killings on social media and bragged about his

00:52:27.320 ability to commit violence with impunity. So not exactly a criminal mastermind, in other words.

00:52:32.800 And so it wasn't especially surprising when within a year, Groves was arrested and charged and convicted

00:52:37.680 by a 10 to 2 jury vote of two counts of second degree murder and two counts of attempted murder.

00:52:43.160 And this was back in 2019, roughly six years ago. Then Groves was put on trial for two more times for

00:52:52.640 the same crime. The first retrial was because of a new law that required unanimous jury verdicts.

00:52:57.500 And the second retrial was because of a hung jury on the second trial. And then finally,

00:53:01.600 in October of 2024, Groves was convicted once again for murder, this time by a unanimous jury.

00:53:07.060 Now, in a first world city, this sequence of events should have guaranteed that, at a minimum,

00:53:13.480 Derek Groves would immediately be shipped to a maximum security prison. We were talking about

00:53:17.960 an unapologetic, confessed killer. But in New Orleans, six years after he was convicted of

00:53:23.480 killing two people, and six months after he was double convicted for the homicides, Derek Groves was

00:53:29.140 not being housed in a windowless dungeon where he belonged. Instead, he was incarcerated at the now

00:53:34.420 world-famous institution known as the Orleans Parish Jail, where the vast majority of the inmates

00:53:40.500 are awaiting trial for relatively minor offenses. Now, if you follow the news lately, you probably

00:53:45.380 know where this is going. Derek Groves was one of 10 inmates who just escaped this parish jail

00:53:53.120 shortly after midnight on Friday morning. The escape began around 12.20 a.m. when the inmates broke

00:53:59.140 open the door to a handicapped cell with their bare hands. And once inside, they removed a metal toilet

00:54:04.200 and a sink, as well as bolts and a steel bar that protected plumbing fixtures in the cell

00:54:08.940 by using toiletries and some kind of tool. According to authorities, that's how they

00:54:13.360 tried this thing open. And then around 1 a.m., they crawled through a hole that had apparently

00:54:18.320 been carved in the wall. And here's what the cell looked like by the end of it. You can see it there.

00:54:23.720 Just to underscore the level of pure genius that's required to escape from this facility,

00:54:28.180 they wrote on the wall that their escape was, quote, too easy, LOL, with the word too misspelled.

00:54:36.140 This is how convicted murderer Derek Groves and nine other criminals, most of whom are suspected

00:54:40.500 of violent crimes like armed robbery and domestic violence, walked out of the parish jail.

00:54:45.920 And this is a facility that obviously should not have been used to house a convicted murderer

00:54:50.260 in the first place. That was the first glaring mistake that was made here. And that's just scratching

00:54:54.820 the surface of the level of total incompetence and probably malice that led to this escape.

00:55:01.740 I mean, suffice it to say, the guards in New Orleans have managed to achieve the impossible,

00:55:06.040 which is to make Jeffrey Epstein's guards look good in comparison. We're also learning, for example,

00:55:10.820 that one third of the cameras in the jail simply don't work. The jail also has been reporting

00:55:17.660 defective locks and doors for many years, which seems like a significant issue for a jail to have.

00:55:23.700 And additionally, there's new reporting that at the time of this escape, there were zero sheriff's

00:55:29.200 deputies on duty in this portion of the jail, not a single one. There was apparently a civilian

00:55:34.560 employee who was supposed to be monitoring the cameras, but that employee conveniently stepped

00:55:38.640 away for food during the escape. Additionally, no one was patrolling a facility. No one spotted them

00:55:45.600 running towards the interstate. No one noticed anything was wrong in any way until a routine

00:55:51.700 headcount took place at 8.30 a.m., eight hours after the escape began. They got an eight-hour

00:55:57.560 head start. And even then, it took another two hours to inform the New Orleans Police Department.

00:56:03.160 So the jail did everything possible to give these criminals a pretty massive head start.

00:56:08.200 And on top of that, when they finally released the news to the public,

00:56:11.420 officials reported that 11 inmates were missing before revising the number down to 10.

00:56:15.480 Now, this is how you run a jail when you don't care whether violent criminals escape.

00:56:21.200 And that's exactly how politicians in New Orleans think. I mean, even without a jailbreak,

00:56:26.340 they've made it a habit to unleash violent felons on the public. That's why they don't even prosecute

00:56:31.520 something like 50% of the violent crimes that result in an arrest. It's also why at the moment,

00:56:36.060 Derek Groves and several other inmates remain at large. Now, fortunately, four of the 10 escapees

00:56:41.220 have been captured. But that's not because of any brilliant detective work. It's because, again,

00:56:46.500 these criminals are really, really dumb. So here's footage of two of the escapees

00:56:51.380 walking through the French Quarter wearing hoodies and jeans in 80-degree weather less than 48 hours

00:56:57.440 after the escape. You can see it here. Not exactly the most subtle disguise, as you can see.

00:57:04.420 Nor is it the most inconspicuous location they could have chosen. I mean, imagine getting out

00:57:11.500 of jail and immediately going to the single biggest tourist attraction in the state with cameras on

00:57:16.780 every block when everyone's looking for you and just walking around the street. This is the level of

00:57:24.220 intellect that managed to outwit New Orleans' prison system. Here's another guy, another example.

00:57:30.600 This is a guy named Robert Moody, and you can see him. He was caught. Again, not exactly a criminal

00:57:36.640 mastermind. Wearing the most noticeable outfit he could find. And he has the same facial hair and

00:57:44.740 hairstyle that he had when he was caught. Like, one of the advantages of having dreadlocks and a goatee

00:57:50.460 if you escape from prison is that you can shave that off and drastically change your appearance.

00:57:55.920 He didn't even bother to do that. You know, the guy escaped prison, went back to downtown New Orleans

00:58:03.080 and just hung around until they caught him. The, you know, the level of planning and ingenuity

00:58:10.620 here is not terribly impressive. I mean, this is not exactly Harrison Ford and the fugitive that

00:58:15.000 we're dealing with. And not to belabor the point, but these criminals can't spell. They appear to be

00:58:21.680 incapable of self-preservation. And yet, you know, that raises the question, how exactly are six of

00:58:28.160 them still not caught? And how did these morons escape in the first place? And in order to answer

00:58:36.280 those questions, that's where you have to look at the leadership involved, namely the sheriff,

00:58:41.260 the police superintendent, and the police captain of this district, as well as the mayor.

00:58:45.700 So we'll start with the captain. This is a woman whose name is Stephanie Minto Gibson.

00:58:51.520 For reasons that remain very unclear, she is doing this press conference wearing like Riddler glasses.

00:58:57.580 But let's listen to what she has to say.

00:59:00.420 I am Major Stephanie Minto Gibson, and I oversee the crime victims unit for the Orleans Fire Sheriff's

00:59:07.180 Office. Once I was notified about the escapees, I immediately gathered a team of experienced staff

00:59:15.320 and we started calling victims and survivors just to make sure that they are aware of what was going

00:59:21.680 on and that they are safe. Most of the victims were very grateful for the calls. They graciously

00:59:28.300 thank us. We additionally sent our detectives to their homes for more safety measures. And that alone

00:59:36.300 speak measures.

00:59:39.400 Most of the victims were very grateful for the calls, says the police captain.

00:59:43.060 And that makes you wonder, what did the other victims say? Did they ask you how the hell you

00:59:48.400 allowed several violent criminals out of jail? That seems likely, especially now that we're learning

00:59:53.120 that some of the prosecutors who secured Derrick Groves' conviction have actually fled the state

00:59:57.260 because they fear that he's going to hunt them down and kill them, or at least randomly shoot two

01:00:00.780 bystanders while trying to kill them. Quoting from NOLA.com, two Orleans Parish attorneys who helped secure

01:00:07.840 recent convictions against an escapee from the Orleans Parish jail have fled the state along

01:00:13.180 with their families, fearing for their safety after last week's jailbreak. District Attorney

01:00:18.060 Jason Williams said Monday. Williams also said that he was personally afraid for his own safety.

01:00:24.000 Williams declined to identify the lawyers who fled, their rank, or say if they've been given

01:00:28.020 police protection. Several family members of one of Groves' shooting victims have also fled the state,

01:00:32.880 close quote. So maybe those people weren't appreciative when the NOPD called to notify

01:00:39.080 them about what had happened. We'd only guess. And maybe these prosecutors now regret releasing

01:00:43.420 thousands of violent criminals in the name of social justice. Who knows? But one thing we know

01:00:47.140 for sure is that nobody in the police department is feeling any amount of shame over what just occurred

01:00:52.340 because a reporter asked them to apologize. And instead of getting an apology, here's what happened.

01:00:57.960 Do you want to say, do you want to speak to the people? I think everybody's live in here. Do you

01:01:04.280 want to say you're sorry to the people of New Orleans for having this happen? I mean, we've heard from

01:01:08.580 you several times today, but do you want to offer any kind of contrition or apology to people for

01:01:12.960 something like this happening? Well, first we have to find out exactly what happened and how they got

01:01:17.040 out. We think this was intentional. There is much more than meets the eye in this investigation.

01:01:22.260 Did you catch that? Over at the New Orleans Police Department, according to their crack

01:01:28.440 investigative team, at this hour, they believe that the prison escape was intentional. So these

01:01:34.860 10 inmates didn't randomly walk out of a hole in a random cell by accident. They weren't like going for

01:01:40.340 a stroll and just ended up outside the prison. That seems highly unlikely at this moment. That's the

01:01:46.380 current state of the investigation, according to the sheriff's office. But they don't want to get ahead

01:01:50.320 of themselves. You know, they don't want to say whether it was an inside job, at least not yet.

01:01:54.420 They certainly don't want to apologize in any way, even after they become an international

01:01:57.800 laughingstock for a second time this year. Now, the first time, of course, was when the police

01:02:02.940 superintendent admitted live on national television that she had no idea that the department possessed

01:02:08.460 archer barriers, which can stop terrorists from driving vehicles onto sidewalks. And those barriers

01:02:13.720 probably would have been useful to prevent the ISIS terrorist from mowing down 14 people on Bourbon

01:02:18.500 Street. But there's no cause for alarm because after the attack, the superintendent realized

01:02:23.320 at that point where the barriers were located. Watch what you see behind us is what we call

01:02:30.840 hardening the target. So we have brought in heavy trucks. You will see when you go down Bourbon,

01:02:41.400 you will see yellow what we call archers and they're along the sidewalk. And that would be to be preventive

01:02:50.420 if someone had or if this particular terrorist went around up on the sidewalk. That's what that would

01:02:57.360 do. But we want our community to feel confident and know they are confidently safe. And that's what

01:03:05.140 we're going to do. So right now I can declare to you that the Bourbon Street is open. Chief, where do

01:03:13.140 those archers come from? So yellow archers, where did they come from? Actually, we have them. I didn't

01:03:19.260 know about them, but we have them. And so we have been able now to put them out. Okay.

01:03:26.620 So that's a 65 year old police chief and Kirkpatrick for you. She was fired from her job running

01:03:32.360 Oakland's police department after they lost confidence in her. Then after getting hired in

01:03:35.780 New Orleans, she promptly ran over two people in the French quarter while on duty. And then after

01:03:41.240 a terrorist attack, she admits that the police department had the tools to prevent it, but

01:03:45.060 didn't realize they had access to them. And despite all this, and Kirkpatrick was not fired.

01:03:51.200 She wasn't punished in any way. Instead, she received awards like this one. This is a real post

01:03:56.180 from the New Orleans police department's official social media feed. And it says, congratulations,

01:04:01.340 Superintendent Anne Kirkpatrick, who was recognized today at the third annual Women in Leadership

01:04:06.140 Awards. Orleans Parish Sheriff Susan Hudson bestowed the honors as part of Women's History Month

01:04:12.000 celebrations. Well done, chief. Yes, after running over a couple of innocent people and then admitting

01:04:18.600 she could have done a lot more to prevent a terrorist attack, she received an award. That's because

01:04:23.880 the award wasn't based on any of her impressive accomplishments or her job performance. It was based on the

01:04:28.940 fact that she's a woman. That was enough to earn her the accolade. And now she's one of the people

01:04:34.000 in charge of capturing a bunch of homicidal fugitives. I mean, you'd feel better with, you know,

01:04:39.760 a guy who gives off like the vibe of Tommy Lee Jones and the fugitive. Instead, you get an elderly

01:04:44.860 woman who gives off the vibe of a stern librarian. And unsurprisingly, in the wake of this jailbreak,

01:04:51.460 Anne Kirkpatrick is once again bringing eternal shame onto the city of New Orleans. Watch.

01:04:56.400 We were not going to wait. So when we learned about it, we knew the immediacy to at least inform

01:05:04.140 the public. Even if we didn't have pictures ready and all of the names ready, we didn't have that

01:05:09.220 either. But we need to let our public know. Again, if you see something and you feel that it's not,

01:05:16.040 a hunch is okay, folks, you just call us. And we're going to check that out.

01:05:21.100 So again, she's admitting to the fact that she's incapable of doing her job. I mean,

01:05:24.880 how exactly would the police department after 10 inmates break out of jail be unable to immediately

01:05:30.800 inform the public of the names of the inmates who are missing? I mean, it's pretty simple.

01:05:35.560 You tell everyone to go back to their cells, you identify the cells that are empty

01:05:38.680 or missing inmates, and then you look up who belongs in those cells. I mean, the process should

01:05:45.980 take like 10 minutes. If not, I mean, you would hope in a jail, if an inmate is not there,

01:05:51.280 they could tell you in 10 seconds who's missing. But in this case, the police chief admits that the

01:05:57.940 department simply didn't have that information as of 10 a.m., more than two hours after the escape

01:06:02.140 was first noticed at the jail, and more than nine hours after it unfolded in the middle of the night.

01:06:07.800 Meanwhile, the mayor of the city, the hopelessly corrupt Latoya Cantrell,

01:06:11.620 was completely missing in action. Her office didn't put out a statement for several days.

01:06:15.500 Uh, she didn't appear in public at all. When she finally appeared at a press conference,

01:06:20.440 the first question came from a reporter who wanted to know why she was hiding. Watch.

01:06:25.620 Mayor Cantrell, this is the first time we've seen you publicly since this happened. What would you

01:06:30.060 like to say to the citizens of New Orleans? So first off, this isn't the first time that you've

01:06:35.280 seen me, or the public, I would say, has seen me, uh, since then, since this incident occurred.

01:06:41.460 I mean, you gotta, she's literally, she's literally hiding behind the guy. Her head's

01:06:47.860 poking. She's actually hiding behind someone else, so no one notices her. Um, now at this point,

01:06:55.060 somebody needs to point out the obvious, so I'll do it. Every single senior official involved in this

01:07:02.240 debacle is a woman. There's the female superintendent, the female sheriff, the female mayor, the female

01:07:10.360 captain. Three out of the four of these women are black. Now in the DEI community, that's known as

01:07:17.000 a very diverse group, but it's the kind of thing that does not happen by accident. Okay. From a purely

01:07:24.560 statistical perspective, it is simply impossible that these are the most competent people who could

01:07:30.380 be holding these jobs. It's simply impossible that you were really just hiring based on merit.

01:07:35.320 And it just so happened that every senior official involved ends up being a woman.

01:07:42.340 On the other hand, it's guaranteed that, you know, more capable people were passed over solely

01:07:46.860 because of their skin color or their gender. Now to be clear, I'm not saying that this prison break

01:07:51.980 wouldn't have happened if men were in charge. There have been prison breaks involving prisons run by

01:07:56.500 males. Although they're usually a lot more hardcore and complicated than this one. I mean,

01:08:00.760 think of the Alcatraz escape back in the 1960s where they spent months breaking into the ventilation

01:08:05.000 system, built a makeshift raft out of prison raincoats, and then drowned allegedly soon after

01:08:10.260 they got in the water. Instead, what I'm saying is that you don't accidentally end up in a situation

01:08:17.040 where all of the officials in charge of capturing a fugitive are women. But that's the case right now

01:08:24.320 in New Orleans. That's why they can't figure out how to keep their inmates inside the prisons or

01:08:29.220 how to find them once they've escaped. In recent history, if recent history is any indication, as a

01:08:35.420 direct result of this colossal failure, the NOPD is probably going to give every single one of these

01:08:41.000 women another award. Well done, ladies. You oversaw one of the worst prison breaks in U.S.

01:08:45.300 history. Girl power. That's what the police department will be tweeting a few months

01:08:50.300 from now. But for people who have to live under the rule of these complete and total morons,

01:08:55.760 like the prosecutors and victims who've literally fled the state in fear, girl power has lost its

01:09:02.440 appeal. What they need and what cities like New Orleans need is competence, not a bunch of clueless

01:09:08.980 women who congratulate themselves while their city falls apart. And that is why the women who have just

01:09:14.660 allowed one of the biggest prison breaks in American history are today canceled. That will do it for the

01:09:20.640 show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
