The First Amendment has been suspended in Seattle as the city allows Antifa militants to accost and assault Christians at will. Also, King Charles delivers a land acknowledgement in Canada, and Secret Service agents are suspended after getting into a fight with each other on the job. If that sounds familiar, it s because the same thing happened last year, and all of the agents involved in both cases are women. What unapproved conclusions might we draw from that?
00:14:20.680At the same time, even if the mayor's office is hauled before a federal court, the truth is there's a much deeper problem here.
00:14:29.040The mayor, after all, was elected by the people of Seattle.
00:14:31.780And unsurprisingly, in this case, you know, most of Seattle, including the media, agrees with the mayor.
00:14:39.060So here's one news report, just for example.
00:14:42.800The mayor was involved in this and is asking how this happened.
00:14:46.760Yeah, so Jake and Mimi, the mayor, and other city leaders are asking why the city authorized Cal Anderson Park and Capitol Hill for the religious rally.
00:14:55.280We know the rally was permitted through Seattle's Parks and Recreation Department.
00:14:59.640The event was organized by On Fire Ministries.
00:15:02.180It's a religious organization that says they do not support the LGBTQ community.
00:15:07.260Multiple local organizations counter-protested the group.
00:15:10.400They told King 5 that they're livid that the rally was allowed to happen in Capitol Hill in the first place.
00:15:17.140So what, you're going to put an anti-queer group that tries to do conversion therapy with people in the middle of Cal Anderson Park,
00:15:27.520named after the first openly gay legislator in Washington state history.
00:15:32.380Eight of the people arrested were in court yesterday, all accused of assaulting police.
00:15:37.440On Saturday, one officer was hurt and had to be taken to the hospital.
00:15:41.480Now, police are also echoing concerns about safety, saying, quote,
00:15:46.260What we are struggling to understand is why was this park chosen and authorized?
00:15:51.380This city decision, as naive or deliberate as it was, put police officers in an untenable predicament.
00:15:57.420Now, the activist they interviewed is basically saying that no Christians or conservatives are allowed in their gay park.
00:18:23.560the same people who are now saying that the Christians were deliberately provoking the trans activists by staging their event in the gay park,
00:18:30.340were the ones who suggested that Christians hold their event in that park in the first place.
00:18:36.020So, and that's again, by the way, if they had chosen that park to be provocative, fine.
00:18:45.660Personally, I'd be totally fine with that.
00:22:09.120Now, there's a lot more footage like this.
00:22:18.120There's also a video of Antifa mobs screaming, F your kids, as a man shouts back, Jesus loves you.
00:22:25.120In every single one of these cases, it's the left wing activists who are terrorizing Christians and conservatives.
00:22:30.120You're not going to find a single clip of a Christian demonstrator going out of his way to assault some trans activists or prevent a trans activist from filming or anything like that.
00:22:39.120I mean, this kind of thing only happens in one direction.
00:22:42.120And it's going to continue to get worse in all likelihood.
00:22:45.120The mayor I mentioned earlier is actually considered to be relatively moderate in Seattle, if you can believe it.
00:22:51.120I mean, there are definitely more left wing candidates hoping to replace him.
00:22:54.120And they have an election later in this year, in fact.
00:22:57.120And as you can tell by the mayor's statement, which is clearly designed to appease the violent left wing mob, those other radical candidates have a very good chance of success in the upcoming election.
00:23:07.120So that raises a few questions like how long until Seattle elects someone who runs on an explicit platform of attacking Christians and conservatives?
00:23:18.120How long will Christians be allowed to gather in any park at all in the city?
00:23:23.120How long will Christians receive any police protection in the city?
00:23:27.120Yesterday, we talked about the eradication of the freedom of speech in the UK in the context of a 41 year old woman who was sentenced to two and a half years in prison for sending a tweet.
00:23:35.120And as troubling as that case was, it's not a phenomenon that's unique to the UK.
00:23:58.120That's like very explicitly how things are being enforced.
00:24:04.120And that's what the left believes here too.
00:24:07.120And they're doing everything in their power to ensure that when they come for you, the government takes their side and leaves you to fend for yourself.
00:24:15.120Five years after the alleged destruction of Chaz, its founding principles are still alive and well in Seattle.
00:24:22.120And if these people succeed, if they're allowed to turn a city of 800,000 people into a commune where Christians are lynched for their beliefs, they're not going to stop.
00:24:31.120They'll apply these same tactics to every other major city in the country.
00:24:35.120Their goal is to outlaw Christianity to whatever extent they can.
00:24:40.120And if there's anything encouraging about what's happening in Seattle at the moment, it's that tens of thousands of Christians are making it very clear that they're willing to fight back.
00:24:49.120And now every Christian in the country, along with everyone else who values the fundamental principle of freedom of speech, should join them in that fight.

00:26:15.120All right, before we get to the headlines, a little programming note here.
00:26:19.120I wanted to let you know that starting this week, this show will be going to four days a week.
00:26:27.120We'll be doing four days a week for the foreseeable future instead of five.
00:26:31.120And I'll be very transparent about the reason for that change.
00:26:36.120And the reason is that despite appearances, it actually takes an enormous amount of time to prepare and write the show every day, which is fine.
00:26:46.120The problem is that then I have very little time to work on my other projects.
00:26:51.120And that's why my other projects, like the last two movies, each took about two years to make because of for this reason.
00:26:59.120So I'm bringing the show down to four days a week so that I can use the extra time to work on a couple of other projects in particular.
00:27:07.120I can't tell you anything about them at this juncture.
00:27:11.120I can't give you any more information.
00:27:13.120But I can say that if you have been following the show for a while, then, you know, you can remember the past.
00:27:22.120When I've said, I got to take some time, I got to change the schedule a little bit because I'm working on other projects.
00:27:27.120And you know that when I say that, we will deliver.
00:27:31.120It just may be a while, but it will come.
00:27:33.120So I wish I could give you more information and say more, but I can't.
00:28:05.120I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and the Shinabeg people.
00:28:15.120This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation.
00:28:22.120While continuing to deepen my own understanding, it is my great hope that in each of your communities and collectively as a country, a path is found toward truth and reconciliation in both word and deed.
00:28:53.120Of course, you didn't seed it because that's not how this works.
00:28:56.120The land was conquered by a superior civilization just as you conquered it from whatever Stone Age tribe had it before you had it and so on and so on.
00:30:08.120So in any case, even aside from that, the land acknowledgments are self-contradictory because if you actually think, you know, of course, I'm not the first person to point this out.
00:30:18.120But it is true that if you actually think the land was stolen or that you're occupying land that was unseated or whatever that means, then why haven't you given it back?
00:30:30.120I mean, that's the really funny thing.
00:30:32.120The person who does the land acknowledgment to assuage their guilt only in that act actually inherits guilt.
00:30:43.120Like the thing you do to be rid of guilt makes you guilty.
00:30:50.120So what I mean is if you actually think that you have no moral right to be on the land that you're occupying, well, then in that case, you have a moral responsibility to give it back.
00:31:04.120Because if you don't then by your own testimony, you are a thief and a burglar and worse.
00:31:29.120Because for one thing, theft implies ownership.
00:31:34.120But when you've got an entire side of the world where various groups are migrating to it, coming to it, and there's a battle of civilizations that goes on for not really hundreds, but thousands of years.
00:31:51.120There's not one single group that can say I own this entire side of the world.
00:35:37.120But if I actually believed that I was bringing about the destruction of the planet by driving my cars around, then in that case, I would have a responsibility to stop driving and to stop flying and to make any number of other lifestyle changes.
00:35:50.120And if I didn't do that, then I would be guilty of a horrific sin because in my own mind, I am deliberately like killing human, the planet.
00:36:02.120I'm bringing about the destruction of humanity in my own mind.
00:36:11.120Um, so it's the same for the land acknowledgement thing.
00:36:16.120Now the, the answer in both cases, of course, is, is that the climate alarmist, the liberal doing the land acknowledgement, they don't actually believe what they're saying.
00:36:29.120Um, but I guess my point is that I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt when I say that they don't believe what they're saying.
00:36:36.120Because the other option is that they do believe it.
00:36:41.120The other option is that they actually believe that when they drive their car, they are personally contributing to the destruction of human society.
00:37:00.120Shocking footage captured the moment that two female Secret Service agents fought with each other outside former President Barack Obama's $8 million DC mansion.
00:37:08.120The altercation unfolded May 21st at around 2.30 AM as the former president's security detail grappled next to a police vehicle.
00:37:15.120Um, the agent and the, there's an audio.
00:37:20.120The agent says, can I get a supervisor down to Delta II immediately before I whoop this girl's ass?
00:37:25.120It comes a year after a Secret Service agent assigned to then Vice President Kamala Harris was removed from duty after she got into a physical fight with her fellow agents.
00:37:35.120So here's a quick clip of this altercation.
00:37:38.120I don't know if there's sound to this.
00:38:07.120Over the past year, multiple Secret Service agents have been suspended for getting into fights with each other on the job.
00:38:16.120And according to this report that I just read, all of them are female.
00:38:22.120So add this to the list of very obvious patterns that we're not supposed to notice.
00:38:27.120And if we do notice, we're not supposed to draw any unapproved conclusions from the pattern that we noticed.
00:38:33.120And this is the game, you know, the left puts these DEI policies in place, insists that we must diversify.
00:38:39.120We must include women into traditionally male occupations and so forth.
00:38:43.120And then when planes start crashing, when helicopters are steered directly into passenger jets, when Secret Service agents are getting into catfights,
00:38:54.120we're not supposed to see any of that as evidence against the policy.
00:39:02.120Because nothing that happens can ever be evidence against it.
00:39:53.120Every negative consequence is always just somehow an aberration, an exception, no matter how frequent it is, no matter how foreseeable it is.
00:40:03.120And in reality, you know, this goes to show why it is absurd to include women in these kinds of jobs.
00:42:26.120And there are plenty of cases where having, you know, being a more emotional person, being more, you know, empathetic, wearing your heart and your sleeve a little bit more.
00:42:36.120There are contexts where that's a strength, where that's where you want that.
00:42:42.120But there are times where it's a liability.
00:42:46.120And that's a Secret Service agent on the battlefield.
00:43:10.120That's, you got a job or you need someone with some physical strength, somebody who's a bit more stoic, someone who contains their emotions.
00:43:17.120That, well, it's all, a man is always going to be, going to fit that bill more.
00:43:28.120And, you know, this is where so much of the modern tension between the sexes comes from.
00:43:34.120When we hear that sexism is on the rise or whatever, that anti-woman sentiments are on the rise, it comes from this.
00:43:42.120It comes from insisting that women be crowbarred into positions that they just are not suited for.
00:43:47.120And that it's okay they aren't suited for.
00:43:50.120There are roles that men are not suited for.
00:43:53.120I've said many times, I would never in a million years hire a man to babysit my kids.
00:44:01.120Not in a million years would I do that.
00:44:07.120Hiring's like, and most people feel the same way.
00:44:10.120Now, of course, the left will respond and say, oh, so you're saying that women are fit for childcare and they're more fit for childcare than they are for being secret service agents.
00:44:39.120You know, I think caring for children is a very important role in society.
00:44:44.120If you don't think that, that's your problem.
00:44:46.120So when I say that, well, women are more fit for childcare, that that's not me saying, oh, that's like childcare is this contemptible thing that's beneath.
00:44:58.120That apparently is the way you look at it.
00:45:01.120But if you're on the left, I don't see it that way.
00:45:06.120In fact, from my perspective, caring for my children is more important than protecting the president.
00:45:15.120OK, I know that's not the case from like the nation's perspective.
00:45:18.120But from my perspective, you know, if I'm choosing someone to take care of my kids, it's a lot more important to me that that person is suited for the job than it is that a secret service agent is suited.
00:45:29.120I care more about my kids than I do about the president.
00:45:35.120And so my point is that if I'm if I'm looking for childcare, let's say, then then to me, they're my kids like that's a really important job.
00:48:47.120If not all of it, it comes from taking these groups and just like shoehorning them into context where they just they just don't belong there.
00:49:25.120Despite the overturning of Roe v Wade, abortions actually increased by nearly one percent last year.
00:49:30.120That's over one hundred thousand additional procedures happening, bringing the total to an estimated.
00:49:36.120Well, an estimate that's over a million per year.
00:49:39.120These numbers show the urgent need for action beyond legal victories.
00:49:44.120Preborn is directly addressing this crisis.
00:49:46.120Their network of clinics operates in the area with the highest abortion rates, providing immediate support to women facing unplanned pregnancies.
00:49:53.120They offer compassionate care and free ultrasounds, helping women see and connect with their babies.
00:49:58.120Because when women hear a fetal heartbeat, they're twice as likely to choose life.
00:50:02.120Last year alone, Preborn helped over sixty seven thousand women choose to continue their pregnancies.
00:50:08.120But the numbers show that there's critical work still to be done.
00:50:11.120Right now, women are walking into abortion clinics who could be reached with the right support and the right resources.
00:50:16.120Your monthly support of twenty eight dollars directly funds this life saving work.
00:50:20.120Every day matters when over one million lives hang in the balance.
00:50:23.120Preborn has proven results in changing hearts and saving lives.
00:50:26.120But they need sustained support to expand their reach where it's needed most.
00:50:30.120To donate, simply dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.
00:51:26.120It's time to see whether the University of California, Berkeley remains the undisputed champion in the very competitive category of most degrading, unwatchable and humiliating commencement ceremony on the planet.
00:51:37.120Now, as you might remember, a couple of years ago, Berkeley took the crown by unanimous decision after this moment went viral, depicting the scene at their black only commencement ceremony.
00:51:47.120Yes, in defiance of civil rights laws and basic standards of ethics, as well as common sense, Berkeley kicked all the white people and Asians out and held a segregated graduation for the black students only.
00:51:58.120And here's a brief snippet of what that looked like.
00:52:02.120Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!
00:52:21.120Ermis Anderson said, the last shall be first and the first shall be last, receiving a bachelor of arts in disciplinary studies field, political economy,
00:52:31.120legal studies and African American studies.
00:52:35.120He said disbursement and allocation, reparations for African Americans.
00:52:42.120So if you're listening to the audio podcast, the graduates are doing a lot of jumping around and crawling around on the stage.
00:53:33.120How have other schools been doing since this incident?
00:53:37.120What have they learned from Berkeley after taking some time in the off-season to train hard and become woke grandmasters?
00:53:43.120How exactly are they going to dethrone Berkeley as the international champion of unwatchable graduation ceremonies?
00:53:49.120Well, the other day, a listener sent me a tip about the commencement that just took place a few days ago at the University of California School of Law,
00:53:56.120which was previously known as the University of California Hastings School of Law until around two years ago.
00:54:01.120But then they changed their name, sort of like the Redskins, and for similar reasons, as you'll see in a second.
00:54:07.120And admittedly, it's a two-hour ceremony.
00:54:09.120I didn't have time or anywhere near the interest to watch the whole thing.
00:54:13.120But it didn't take long for Hastings to formally enter the competition for Berkeley's throne and make the very strong showing of their own.
00:54:21.120So, behold the first minute of the University of California Law School's commencement.
00:54:28.120Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome.
00:54:34.120I'm Albert Sanker, and I serve as chair of the board of directors of UC Law.
00:54:40.120Before we began our program, we made it now our tradition to do so at the start of every commencement.
00:54:47.120We acknowledge today that two decades before the founding of this school, Serenis Hastings was involved in the establishment of a militia and other guys that resulted in the brutal slayings of the people who lived in the renowned Indian Valley areas of California.
00:55:05.120Currently, UC Law is engaged in restorative justice initiatives that will provide educational opportunities for their youth.
00:55:14.120While we cannot erase our past, we can make sure that the past does not continue to impact the future of the Yuki and other indigenous people of the Yuki and Round Valley areas.
00:55:29.120So, just to be very clear about this, this is the first minute.
00:55:34.120I mean, the first thing he says at this commencement ceremony for graduates is a lengthy apology for the old name of their school.
00:55:42.120He's really, really sorry that the school in the past used to be named for a prominent lawyer and politician named Serenis Hastings.
00:55:49.120And apparently, Hastings mistreated something called the Yuki people, and therefore the school is going to engage in restorative justice.
00:55:56.120And he gets a lot of applause for this, as you just saw.
00:55:58.120Now, let's just assume for a second that the narrative surrounding Serenis Hastings is true, and that he was an awful person who mistreated the Yukis, whoever, whatever they are.
00:56:09.120Even given that assumption, this commencement speaker still has to answer the following question.
00:56:14.120If the University of California School of Law really wants to pay penance to the Yuki people, and if they're really on stolen land or whatever, then again, going back to what we talked about earlier,
00:56:23.120why don't they give the descendants of the Yuki people the deed to every building in the campus and every school in the University of California system?
00:56:32.120They could do that immediately if they wanted to.
00:56:34.120They could hand over every cent of the University of California's $30 billion endowment.
00:56:39.120But they're not doing that because they don't actually believe anything they're saying.
00:56:43.120They'd rather taunt the poor Yuki people, God rest their souls.
00:56:48.120Now, of course, all of this slander about Serenis Hastings was invented circa 2017 by left-wing professors looking to demonize a white guy because, of course, it was fashionable to do so at the time.
00:56:57.120In 2023, the California Supreme Court's Historical Society Review published a thorough review of Serenis Hastings' life.
00:57:04.120This review found that, quote, there's no assertion and no evidence that he killed or knew in advance of any plan to kill Indians.
00:57:11.120In fact, he testified under oath in the legislature's 1860 investigation into the Mendocino Indian Wars that he had no knowledge of any Indian killings before they occurred.
00:57:22.120Rather, the claim by critics is that by petitioning the governor to commission a local militia that came to be known as the Eel River Rangers, Hastings was effectively in control of the Rangers, close quote.
00:57:32.120So, in other words, the administration of this law school concocted a way to smear their school's namesake and it falls apart under any scrutiny whatsoever.
00:57:42.120They're saying that he asked for a militia to form and therefore he's responsible for everything the militia did.
00:58:05.120And there were other humiliating moments from this commencement, too, from the students wearing gay pride flags to one speaker's defense of Abrego Garcia, the illegal immigrant gangster and wife beater.
00:58:15.120But the real question isn't whether this ceremony was embarrassing.
00:58:19.120The question is whether it's as embarrassing as Berkeley's from 2023 because, again, that's the standard.
00:58:24.120So let's bracket that whole ceremony for now and move on because there's a lot of competition.
00:58:29.120Here, for example, is a clip from Jennifer Coolidge's address at Emerson College's commencement in Massachusetts a few weeks ago.
00:58:37.120Apparently, this woman is, oh, yeah, I recognize her.
00:59:18.120Now, in case you couldn't make it out, she says, quote, I'm excited that I'm speaking with some very excited gay students and some less exciting hetero students.
00:59:27.120And that line went over really well, as you could tell.
00:59:30.120In particular, they can't get enough of this little speech on Reddit.
00:59:33.120In response to the clip, one of the most upvoted posts reads, quote, she nails comedy.
00:59:39.120Another post reads, I already started my day by dreading all the heteros I have to face, LMAO.
00:59:45.120And then there's this one, quote, people are gay slash bi until they come out as straight.
00:59:50.120So it's all very dumb and embarrassing.
00:59:52.120But again, the question is just how dumb and embarrassing is it, relatively speaking?
00:59:56.120You say what you will about the dancing students at the all black Berkeley commencement ceremony.
01:00:00.120But they didn't inspire swarms of gay men on Reddit to sing their praises.
01:00:04.120That's another level of humiliation, one that only Emerson College has obtained thus far.
01:02:04.120Now, just to be very clear, when he says they're making criminals heroes, he is somehow not talking about George Floyd.
01:02:11.120And when he says that people are afraid to speak in America, he's somehow not talking about the Christians who can't even have a concert without being attacked, physically assaulted by, you know, Antifa militants.
01:02:23.120So he's not talking about any of that.
01:02:26.120Now, there's one great quote in that word vomit, mainly because it makes no sense whatsoever in the context.
01:02:32.120He says, quote, power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality.
01:02:37.120He really thinks that's a profound statement.
01:02:42.120And to illustrate his point, he proceeds to say that the current administration thinks equity is dumb and that the DEI programs are illegal, whereas the previous administration embraced equity in DEI.
01:02:52.120That doesn't mean that the current administration is changing the definition of equity or DEI.
01:02:57.120Instead, the administration is just saying that these practices are unconstitutional and immoral.
01:03:02.120And that's a pretty big point that Scott Pelley doesn't seem to grasp, even as he seems to think he's struck gold.
01:03:07.120He's really proud of himself here and waving his arms around.
01:03:11.120He thinks he's making a really profound point, even though he's making no sense whatsoever.
01:03:15.120But the real irony, of course, in the statement is that the entire point of the leftist project going back more than a decade at this point is exactly what Scott Pelley accuses the right of doing.
01:03:24.120The left's goal is to change the definition of words that we use to describe reality.
01:03:29.120I mean, no reasonable person could deny that.
01:03:32.120They're the ones who decided on a whim that the word woman means anyone who says they're a woman.
01:03:38.120They're the ones who decided that gender is a meaningless term that can describe a limitless number of fake identities with new fake identities being added every day.
01:03:45.120They're the ones who have redefined marriage so that pretty much anything qualifies.
01:03:48.120These are the people who are changing the definition of words that we use to describe reality.
01:03:52.120But the CBS newsman is too dumb to realize that that's what he's really saying, so he doesn't realize that he's sort of making our point for us.
01:04:00.120In any event, we'll introduce one more contender just to try to cover our bases, even though it's probably a losing battle.
01:04:06.120As I go through these, it's becoming more and more evident that Berkeley is probably going to retain the throne, retain the crown.
01:04:13.120But here's a speaker at the commencement ceremony of Middlebury College in Vermont.
01:05:38.120Now, as far as metaphors go, you might say that it's, you know, pretty bad.
01:05:43.120When our hearts break, let them break open like pomegranates.
01:05:47.120But then she manages to outdo herself.
01:05:49.120She says, as evidence of her claim that the president is a fascist like Adolf Hitler, that he, quote, pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement.
01:05:58.120That's the new standard for fascism, according to the commencement speaker at Middlebury College in Vermont.
01:06:03.120It turns out that you don't need a totalitarian one party state.
01:06:06.120You don't need state control over the media or an all encompassing government mandated ideology in every aspect of your life.
01:06:13.120Instead, all you need is to pull out of a non binding international agreement to lower your carbon emissions.
01:06:19.120An agreement that no one, including the largest polluter on the planet, is taking seriously anyway.
01:06:30.120But as humiliating as this speech is, the question remains, just how humiliating is it?
01:06:35.120How does it compare to Berkeley's all black graduation or the stark lack of self-awareness from the 60 Minutes anchor at Wake Forest or the land acknowledgement at the University of California Hastings School of Law or the sassy gay pride moment at Emerson?
01:06:50.120If I'm being honest, I'd have to say that Berkeley probably retains its crown.
01:06:55.120All these other schools are making a serious effort to degrade the credibility of their institutions, but their efforts simply lack the visual impact of Berkeley's ceremony from 2023.
01:07:05.120We're experiencing yet another off year in the woke Olympics is what I'm saying.
01:07:09.120But as the good coaches say, there's always next year.
01:07:12.120And that is why the University of California Hastings School of Law and every other institution that hosted a woke commencement ceremony this year is today canceled.
