The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1604 - The LGBT Mob Just Attacked Christians In Seattle With No Repercussions

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the First Amendment has been suspended in Seattle as the city allows

00:00:04.160 Antifa militants to accost and assault Christians at will. Also, King Charles delivers a land 0.56

00:00:08.780 acknowledgement in Canada, and Secret Service agents are suspended after getting into a fight

00:00:12.760 with each other on the job. If that sounds familiar, it's because the same thing happened

00:00:15.880 last year, and all of the agents involved in both cases are women. What unapproved conclusions might

00:00:21.580 we draw from that? All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 Before we start the show, I want to tell you for a limited time, you can save 40% on your

00:00:54.680 new Daily Wire Plus membership. Head to dailywireplus.com and use code DW40.

00:01:00.000 You know, we're all feeling it. Costs are rising on everything. Gas, groceries, home repairs.

00:01:04.880 And if you're a homeowner, you've probably thought, should I call American Financing to

00:01:08.220 refinance and pay off this credit card debt? Then you second-guess yourself because of that

00:01:12.560 low mortgage rate that you currently have. Well, listen, that low rate, it's not saving you if

00:01:16.720 you're drowning in credit card interest at 25% or more. That's the math that no one wants to face,

00:01:21.700 but it's costing you thousands of dollars. Here's the truth. If you're only making minimum payments,

00:01:27.160 that debt will follow you for years. And that's why people are calling American Financing because

00:01:31.920 they're saving customers an average of $800 a month by using their equity to finally break free

00:01:36.820 from credit card debt. You owe it to your family to see what's possible. No upfront fees, no pressure.

00:01:42.580 It costs you nothing to find out what you could save every month. And if you start today, you may be

00:01:47.240 able to delay two mortgage payments. Call American Financing today, 866-569-4711. That's 866-569-4711.

00:01:56.780 Or visit AmericanFinancing.net slash Walsh. As of the latest official count, there are a grand total

00:02:03.820 of 195 nations on the planet. And if you consult a history book, they'll tell you that we've had 195

00:02:09.500 nations for more than a decade, ever since the sovereignty of South Sudan was recognized in East Africa

00:02:15.180 during the Obama administration. Who could forget that moment? Ask any person off the street and

00:02:20.260 they'll tell you with a sparkle in their eye exactly where they were on the momentous day when South

00:02:25.600 Sudan became a country. I know I'll never forget. Unfortunately, all the rubes who buy into this 1.00

00:02:30.920 narrative are being lied to. In reality, South Sudan is not the newest nation that's been formed.

00:02:36.700 That's because for a brief shining moment back in the summer of 2020, a brand new country was born of

00:02:43.200 all places right here inside the United States. The Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or CHAZ, became the

00:02:50.420 196th nation, seemingly out of nowhere. The local homeless population teamed up with the Antifa and

00:02:56.520 trans activists. They cordoned off a six block radius in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood, seized

00:03:03.180 control of the East Precinct police station, named a warlord slash rapper named Raz as their king, and

00:03:10.480 declared their independence. You are now leaving the USA, read a sign at the entrance to CHAZ.

00:03:15.620 Heavily armed border guards and improvised fencing made sure that no unauthorized migrants could enter

00:03:21.080 because, of course, there's nothing progressives love more than border walls as long as they're

00:03:25.040 protecting their own property. Seattle's government recognized CHAZ's independence for a time.

00:03:31.180 They seemed fine with the fact that the CHAZistanis had taken over a police station and seceded from the 0.96

00:03:37.040 United States. For his part, the state's governor, Jay Insulay, defended CHAZ's right to exist, telling

00:03:43.080 Donald Trump that it was a peaceful commune. But after a month or so, things began to break down

00:03:49.440 predictably. First of all, black children started getting shot to death inside of CHAZ. Secondly, CHAZ's 0.98

00:03:55.860 top scientists determined that human beings cannot survive on marijuana alone, it turns out.

00:04:01.080 And then in a panic, they tried to make a community vegetable garden to produce actual food,

00:04:06.800 but it didn't work out. I mean, generally, any garden made in a panic is not going to work out.

00:04:12.700 That's not the right mindset to be in when you're making a garden. So eventually, the CHAZistanis gave 1.00

00:04:18.080 up. The authorities reclaimed control of the area, and they pledged that going forward, all American 0.98

00:04:23.660 citizens would be able to access the Capitol Hill neighborhood. CHAZ, it seemed, would be relegated to

00:04:29.640 a rather embarrassing footnote of American history. That was the promise anyway. But it was never true.

00:04:36.920 CHAZ may be defunct as an official nation, but Seattle's pink-haired leftist contingent,

00:04:42.260 which is to say 99% of Seattle's population, still believes that they have full control over

00:04:47.700 the region. And they're right, frankly. To this day, unapproved opinions are not allowed within the

00:04:54.140 borders of the region formerly known as CHAZ. The right to free speech remains suspended

00:04:59.060 in that six-block radius. If you express your religious and political beliefs in that area,

00:05:04.780 and those beliefs happen to be remotely conservative or Christian or sane, but I repeat myself,

00:05:10.840 then you will be physically assaulted at a minimum. And nothing will happen to the people who attack

00:05:16.220 you. In fact, your attackers will receive the official endorsement of the government of Seattle.

00:05:21.700 Five years after CHAZ was supposedly disbanded, it remains a lawless,

00:05:25.280 violent place where the Constitution does not apply, a place where Christians are persecuted

00:05:29.820 and radical terrorism is rewarded. And that explains what happened this past Saturday at

00:05:35.320 Seattle's Cal Anderson Park, which was the centerpiece of CHAZ back in its very brief glory days.

00:05:43.280 The pro-life group Mayday USA held an event in the park as part of their Don't Mess With Our Kids

00:05:47.740 campaign. This was a lawful gathering, by all accounts. They had all of the required permits.

00:05:55.000 And at this event, people held signs and they sang songs that affirmed the sanctity of life,

00:05:59.520 the reality of human biology, the importance of the nuclear family, and so on. It was basically a

00:06:04.300 Christian concert. And people of all ages, including young children, were present. Here's what it looked

00:06:10.020 like. This is footage from the reporter named Jonathan Cho, whose name is, we'll get back to in a moment.

00:06:15.680 But here's what this event looked like for context. Watch.

00:06:27.340 Hundreds of Christian worshipers flooded Seattle's Cal Anderson Park Saturday afternoon

00:06:32.300 to pray for the city and take a stand for traditional family values.

00:06:36.340 You will not disrespect the blood of Jesus Christ!

00:06:42.220 Especially against transgender ideology targeting children, all part of the Mayday USA revival 1.00

00:06:49.200 movement sweeping across the nation.

00:06:51.260 And the Lord says, sound the alarm! Sound the alarm! Lift up your voice!

00:06:56.660 So, just as I said, kind of a Christian concert. Everyone appears, everyone is peaceful.

00:07:04.480 Everyone seems sort of normal and like they've bathed some point in the last two weeks, which is, you know,

00:07:11.380 which is, which is odd for that part of Seattle or any other part of Seattle, really.

00:07:17.080 But, you know, they're not bothering anyone. They're not exposing themselves in public as LGBT activists do 1.00

00:07:22.260 at every so-called pride parade. Instead, they're peacefully expressing their beliefs, 0.72

00:07:26.720 which is obviously protected activity under the First Amendment.

00:07:31.020 But as the event went on, left-wing activists decided that they'd had enough of it.

00:07:35.760 And so they were going to shut it down.

00:07:38.080 And they began violently assaulting police officers and stormed the stage. Watch.

00:07:43.260 Far-left activists and Antifa militants tried to disrupt the concert.

00:07:58.140 Throwing water balloons at the crowd, menacing attendees, and some activists even tried rushing the stage.

00:08:04.440 I would say there's two kingdoms flashing here today.

00:08:07.500 There's the kingdom of God, and then there's the kingdom of Satan.

00:08:12.500 As the day progressed, another group of trans activists marched into the park,

00:08:17.460 adding to the number of people targeting followers of Jesus Christ with nasty messages,

00:08:23.060 vile curse words, and full-blown debauchery. 0.71

00:08:27.380 But even with the taunting, middle fingers, and disparaging comments,

00:08:31.740 Folake Kellogg says prayers of love and forgiveness were sent to their attackers on the other side.

00:08:37.560 Not only do we come here to show the love of God,

00:08:41.060 but we hope that by the time we are done here, that the atmosphere in Seattle will change.

00:08:46.760 One of the funny things you notice when you watch any video where left-wing activists are showing up

00:08:52.260 is that every single one of them, they're either rail-thin,

00:08:59.620 like it looks like if they tried to lift a gallon of milk, their arms would snap off,

00:09:04.580 or they're 150 pounds overweight, and there's no in-between.

00:09:09.980 There's just, with left-wing activists, there's not going to be a healthy BMI found anywhere.

00:09:15.800 So anyway, the woman in that clip really makes the point about as well as you possibly can.

00:09:20.440 On the one hand, you have people who are evil and profoundly disturbed,

00:09:24.120 basically demonic.

00:09:26.260 They're screaming profanities, exposing themselves, attacking innocent people,

00:09:29.500 attacking police officers.

00:09:32.000 They're all very clearly unhappy, unwell.

00:09:35.140 On the other hand, you have people who are smiling, singing, preaching about Christ,

00:09:39.040 and the importance of forgiveness.

00:09:41.120 Now, as far as contrasts go, this is about as stark as you can get.

00:09:45.520 And by the way, the Christians were minding their own business. 0.87

00:09:48.020 They weren't trying to disrupt any other event.

00:09:50.480 They weren't hassling anyone.

00:09:51.920 And like I said, they reserved the park using all of the appropriate legal channels.

00:09:57.680 But the demons decided to charge in and use violence to silence the Christians.

00:10:01.880 And eventually, they got what they wanted.

00:10:03.520 The police arrested 22 adults and one juvenile, all of them on the side of the left-wing activists.

00:10:08.120 And then they shut down the event early.

00:10:10.600 Now, hearing all of this, you might be tempted to say that, as bad as it is,

00:10:14.400 at least the police intervened.

00:10:16.560 I mean, at least the government stepped in and addressed the lawlessness

00:10:19.020 and the anti-Christian terrorism that occurred.

00:10:21.000 But actually, in every relevant respect, the government of Seattle has taken the side

00:10:25.620 of the LGBT activists who attacked the Christians.

00:10:27.460 First of all, everyone who was arrested was released without any bond whatsoever,

00:10:31.600 and no charges have been announced.

00:10:34.120 There's one exception, someone who was accused of attacking an officer

00:10:37.100 and throwing an explosive device who received a whopping $20,000 bail.

00:10:42.180 But otherwise, none of these people have suffered any real consequences.

00:10:45.780 And of course, they never will.

00:10:46.820 And there's zero chance that any of them will be prosecuted in Seattle.

00:10:51.280 We all know that.

00:10:52.600 Secondly, the mayor of Seattle, a wormy little man named Bruce Harrell, 0.82

00:10:56.800 who's cursed with the same IQ as the warlord King Raz, 0.88

00:11:00.600 but with none of the charm or the rap skills, 0.89

00:11:04.280 released a statement over the weekend that blames the Christians for being attacked.

00:11:08.900 And this is one of the more extraordinary statements that you'll see from a public official.

00:11:13.640 It's actually more insane than anything that King Raz said when he was running Chaz.

00:11:19.300 Here's what the mayor said, as reported by the Daily Wire.

00:11:21.880 Quote,

00:11:22.040 Today's far-right rally was held here for this very reason,

00:11:35.720 to provoke a reaction by promoting beliefs that are inherently opposed to our city's values

00:11:39.740 in the heart of Seattle's most prominent LGBTQ plus neighborhood.

00:11:44.020 Anarchists infiltrated the counter-protesters group and inspired violence,

00:11:47.620 prompting SPD to make arrests and ask organizers to shut down the event early, which they did.

00:11:53.060 While there are broad First Amendment requirements around permitting events

00:11:55.720 under free speech protections,

00:11:57.520 I am directing the Parks Department to review all of the circumstances of this application

00:12:00.920 to understand where there were legal location alternatives,

00:12:04.340 whether there were legal location alternatives or other adjustments

00:12:07.120 that could have been pursued.

00:12:08.820 Close quote.

00:12:10.440 Now, for a moment, let's just assume that everything the mayor said is true.

00:12:16.480 I mean, it's not true, and we'll get to that in a second, but let's just assume that it is.

00:12:20.380 Let's assume that a group of far-right radicals decided to assemble in a prominent LGBTQ neighborhood

00:12:26.960 and sing songs with the deliberate goal of provoking a reaction.

00:12:33.340 Now, even in that scenario, which again is not what happened,

00:12:37.600 there would still be, obviously, zero justification for left-wing activists to violently assault demonstrators.

00:12:44.440 And that should be the entire statement from the mayor, period, end of discussion.

00:12:49.780 There's no reason that you should need to review why the permit was awarded.

00:12:55.640 There's no reason to talk about how inclusive you are to LGBTQ plus communities. 1.00

00:13:00.820 Instead, as the mayor, your job is to ensure that every citizen is able to enjoy their constitutional rights,

00:13:06.180 and that should be the entire discussion.

00:13:08.440 But Mayor Bruce isn't interested in ensuring that Christians can enjoy their constitutional rights,

00:13:14.360 and that's why he labeled them far-right.

00:13:16.700 It's why he dismissed the violence by suggesting that only a handful of anarchists were responsible.

00:13:22.560 And it's why he issued his unconstitutional order to the Parks Department,

00:13:26.300 demanding that they review why the Christians received the permit in the first place.

00:13:31.120 Now, just to be very clear about this, in the U.S., a heckler's veto is not permissible under the First Amendment.

00:13:39.800 The government cannot shut down free speech on the grounds that violent activists will start terrorizing the community

00:13:45.920 if free speech is allowed to occur.

00:13:48.260 I mean, that's very well-established law in this country, and the Trump administration recognizes that.

00:13:53.060 At the DOJ, Harmeet Dhillon, who now runs the Civil Rights Division, just made that clear on social media.

00:13:57.900 She's already suggested that Seattle's mayor is violating the Constitution, which he is.

00:14:03.640 And the FBI is now investigating the mayor's office as well.

00:14:06.520 Here's what the Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino wrote on social media, quote,

00:14:10.900 We've asked our team to fully investigate allegations of targeted violence against religious groups at the Seattle Conference.

00:14:16.260 Freedom of religion isn't a suggestion.

00:14:19.060 So that's a good start, obviously.

00:14:20.680 At 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.

00:14:29.040 The mayor, after all, was elected by the people of Seattle.

00:14:31.780 And unsurprisingly, in this case, you know, most of Seattle, including the media, agrees with the mayor.

00:14:39.060 So here's one news report, just for example.

00:14:42.800 The mayor was involved in this and is asking how this happened.

00:14:46.760 Yeah, 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.

00:14:55.280 We know the rally was permitted through Seattle's Parks and Recreation Department.

00:14:59.640 The event was organized by On Fire Ministries.

00:15:02.180 It's a religious organization that says they do not support the LGBTQ community.

00:15:07.260 Multiple local organizations counter-protested the group.

00:15:10.400 They told King 5 that they're livid that the rally was allowed to happen in Capitol Hill in the first place.

00:15:17.140 So 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,

00:15:27.520 named after the first openly gay legislator in Washington state history.

00:15:32.380 Eight of the people arrested were in court yesterday, all accused of assaulting police.

00:15:37.440 On Saturday, one officer was hurt and had to be taken to the hospital.

00:15:41.480 Now, police are also echoing concerns about safety, saying, quote,

00:15:46.260 What we are struggling to understand is why was this park chosen and authorized?

00:15:51.380 This city decision, as naive or deliberate as it was, put police officers in an untenable predicament.

00:15:57.420 Now, the activist they interviewed is basically saying that no Christians or conservatives are allowed in their gay park.

00:16:07.060 That's what this amounts to.

00:16:08.260 She says, you're going to put an anti-queer group in the middle of Cal Anderson Park,

00:16:12.320 named after the first openly gay legislator?

00:16:15.740 Well, actually, yeah.

00:16:18.040 I mean, why not? 0.99

00:16:18.780 You don't get to assault Christians because you named the park after a gay guy. 0.99

00:16:22.140 That's not how this works. 0.75

00:16:23.200 And this is common sense in most of the free world, but it's not common sense in Seattle.

00:16:29.200 She's saying that the LGBT movement can exercise unilateral control over everything that happens in the park,

00:16:34.860 just like they controlled Chaz. 0.95

00:16:36.800 And the news media and the police union seem to agree with that sentiment, along with the mayor.

00:16:41.660 No one at this news station pushed back in the slightest.

00:16:44.500 Admittedly, you know, I'm not a huge fan of the term victim blaming,

00:16:48.340 but this is a pretty extreme case of victim blaming.

00:16:51.900 If you're going to use that term to apply to anything, well, here it is.

00:16:56.680 They're attacking Christians for daring to show up in a public place in the center of the Capitol Hill neighborhood

00:17:02.360 as if there are, you know, as if these are like no-go zones in a major American city.

00:17:08.580 Of course, we all know that there are no-go zones in major American cities.

00:17:12.780 Democrats have made sure of that.

00:17:14.860 But all the same, it's pretty remarkable for them to basically admit it out loud.

00:17:18.800 And it's especially remarkable when you realize that, contrary to the mayor's statement and all these media reports,

00:17:26.660 the Christian group did not actually come up with the idea of holding their event in Cal Anderson Park.

00:17:32.460 Instead, that idea came directly from the mayor's office.

00:17:36.140 So just take a look at these two emails.

00:17:38.020 These emails were posted by Pastor Russell Johnson, who helped organize the May Day USA rally in the park.

00:17:45.020 And he says it's an email that his group received from the mayor's office as they were planning the rally.

00:17:50.520 And here's what the mayor's office wrote.

00:17:51.800 Quote,

00:17:51.940 So in other words,

00:18:21.920 In other words, the mayor's office,

00:18:23.560 the same people who are now saying that the Christians were deliberately provoking the trans activists by staging their event in the gay park,

00:18:30.340 were the ones who suggested that Christians hold their event in that park in the first place.

00:18:36.020 So, and that's again, by the way, if they had chosen that park to be provocative, fine.

00:18:45.660 Personally, I'd be totally fine with that.

00:18:47.300 In fact, I would say congratulations.

00:18:49.160 Well done.

00:18:50.500 You know, that's like the perfect place to hold this.

00:18:52.800 If I was holding, you know, a Christian event, a concert, if I was involved in organizing it,

00:18:58.420 I would be looking, I'd say like, put it right there.

00:19:00.640 That's exactly where it should be.

00:19:02.000 But that's not what actually happened.

00:19:05.760 They were told by the mayor's office to go there.

00:19:10.080 So this is a level of cowardice and hypocrisy and moral decay that even by the standards of the city of Seattle is really quite something. 0.83

00:19:17.860 And to their credit, Christians in Seattle are not tolerating. 1.00

00:19:21.120 Yesterday evening, they marched peacefully on a city hall.

00:19:24.480 And here's what that looked like.

00:19:25.680 Get up, get up, get up.

00:19:28.820 Get out of that gate.

00:19:30.960 Get up, get up, get up.

00:19:32.600 Get out of that gate.

00:19:34.500 Get up, get up, get up.

00:19:36.280 Get up out of that gate.

00:19:37.820 Once he kicks me up. 0.99

00:19:40.080 Burn me around. 0.99

00:19:41.940 Face my feet. 0.97

00:19:43.500 I'll take the time.

00:19:46.060 I'll take the stage.

00:19:48.240 You'll be watching me from my heart.

00:19:50.820 Change my day.

00:19:52.720 Here's the freedom.

00:19:54.100 Again, the contrast is remarkable.

00:20:02.940 I mean, there you have just like the only people in the city of Seattle who practice

00:20:07.800 proper hygiene were all found in that event.

00:20:12.940 All of them were there.

00:20:15.920 And again, they're dancing and singing and having a good time, even as they're getting

00:20:19.800 their message out.

00:20:20.560 But once again, the demonic Antifa militants were not peaceful or sane.

00:20:24.900 Instead, they became violent once again.

00:20:27.680 So here are three clips.

00:20:28.980 One of them is footage of several left-wing activists mobbing the reporter Jonathan Cho

00:20:32.640 and ultimately making contact with him, which prompts Cho to defend himself.

00:20:36.080 Another clip shows an apparent assault on a detransitioner who was outside City Hall.

00:20:41.240 And a third clip shows a mother and her baby being surrounded by an Antifa mob before a

00:20:46.040 fight breaks out.

00:20:46.980 Watch.

00:20:50.560 Stay awake.

00:20:51.240 Don't come even near me.

00:20:52.680 Don't even come near me. 0.63

00:20:53.740 Don't even come near me.

00:20:54.500 Don't even cover it.

00:20:55.680 Not your community.

00:20:56.800 Why?

00:20:57.880 What do you mean why?

00:20:59.300 What are they doing Saturday, dog?

00:21:01.000 What are they doing Saturday, dog?

00:21:02.360 Oh, you don't have time to tell people what's the drink?

00:21:04.480 What's happening?

00:21:04.840 Hey! 0.99

00:21:05.700 Oh, get the back! 1.00

00:21:10.400 Get the back! 0.99

00:21:11.980 Hey, cop! 0.92

00:21:12.740 Police!

00:21:13.120 This guy just ...

00:21:13.780 told he's about there.

00:21:19.060 People are rushing.

00:21:20.600 Nope!

00:21:21.120 People are rushing.

00:21:21.620 Come back!

00:21:23.720 Move back! 0.99

00:21:24.760 We'll be back!

00:21:25.900 Move back! 0.99

00:21:27.040 Back up!

00:21:27.680 п п!

00:21:28.420 Back up!

00:21:29.080 Back up!

00:21:29.720 Back up!

00:21:31.040 Hey! 0.99

00:21:33.800 P!

00:21:34.060 P!

00:21:34.860 P!

00:21:35.280 P!

00:21:35.660 P!

00:21:35.860 M!

00:21:36.800 He's back!

00:21:37.620 Back up!

00:21:38.680 Back up!

00:21:39.120 Yeah, that's right, boy, back up.

00:21:43.120 Back the up.

00:21:45.120 He stopped him. 0.97

00:21:47.120 Hands up, you piece of . 0.99

00:22:09.120 Now, there's a lot more footage like this. 0.98

00:22:18.120 There's also a video of Antifa mobs screaming, F your kids, as a man shouts back, Jesus loves you.

00:22:25.120 In every single one of these cases, it's the left wing activists who are terrorizing Christians and conservatives. 0.88

00:22:30.120 You'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.

00:22:39.120 I mean, this kind of thing only happens in one direction.

00:22:42.120 And it's going to continue to get worse in all likelihood.

00:22:45.120 The mayor I mentioned earlier is actually considered to be relatively moderate in Seattle, if you can believe it.

00:22:51.120 I mean, there are definitely more left wing candidates hoping to replace him.

00:22:54.120 And they have an election later in this year, in fact.

00:22:57.120 And 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.

00:23:07.120 So that raises a few questions like how long until Seattle elects someone who runs on an explicit platform of attacking Christians and conservatives?

00:23:18.120 How long will Christians be allowed to gather in any park at all in the city? 0.99

00:23:23.120 How long will Christians receive any police protection in the city?

00:23:27.120 Yesterday, 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.

00:23:35.120 And as troubling as that case was, it's not a phenomenon that's unique to the UK.

00:23:40.120 And it's happening here as well.

00:23:42.120 A very powerful political faction in this country doesn't believe that you have constitutional rights.

00:23:47.120 If you say something that they find bigoted or hateful, they think that you have no right to say it, that you forfeited your rights.

00:23:54.120 That's what's happening in the UK.

00:23:58.120 That's like very explicitly how things are being enforced.

00:24:04.120 And that's what the left believes here too.

00:24:07.120 And 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.

00:24:15.120 Five years after the alleged destruction of Chaz, its founding principles are still alive and well in Seattle.

00:24:22.120 And 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. 0.56

00:24:31.120 They'll apply these same tactics to every other major city in the country.

00:24:35.120 Their goal is to outlaw Christianity to whatever extent they can. 0.99

00:24:40.120 And 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.

00:24:49.120 And 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.

00:24:58.120 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:25:00.120 Summer's almost here, and that means dads are firing up the grill for those backyard barbecues.

00:25:11.120 But did you know that over 85% of grass-fed beef in U.S. stores is actually imported?

00:25:17.120 That's why I trust Good Ranchers.

00:26:13.120 Good Ranchers, American meat delivered.

00:26:15.120 All right, before we get to the headlines, a little programming note here.

00:26:19.120 I wanted to let you know that starting this week, this show will be going to four days a week.

00:26:27.120 We'll be doing four days a week for the foreseeable future instead of five.

00:26:31.120 And I'll be very transparent about the reason for that change.

00:26:36.120 And 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.

00:26:46.120 The problem is that then I have very little time to work on my other projects.

00:26:51.120 And that's why my other projects, like the last two movies, each took about two years to make because of for this reason.

00:26:59.120 So 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.

00:27:07.120 I can't tell you anything about them at this juncture.

00:27:11.120 I can't give you any more information.

00:27:13.120 But I can say that if you have been following the show for a while, then, you know, you can remember the past.

00:27:22.120 When 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.

00:27:27.120 And you know that when I say that, we will deliver.

00:27:31.120 It just may be a while, but it will come.

00:27:33.120 So I wish I could give you more information and say more, but I can't.

00:27:37.120 So, but that's the plan.

00:27:39.120 That's the plan for now.

00:27:41.120 So stay tuned.

00:27:46.120 Let's start with this, I think.

00:27:50.120 King Charles gave a speech in Canada yesterday for some reason or another.

00:27:55.120 I don't know.

00:27:56.120 Doesn't matter.

00:27:57.120 And he decided to begin his speech with a land acknowledgement.

00:28:03.120 And let's listen to that.

00:28:05.120 I would like to acknowledge that we are gathered on the unceded territory of the Algonquin and the Shinabeg people.

00:28:15.120 This land acknowledgement is a recognition of shared history as a nation.

00:28:22.120 While 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. 0.84

00:28:40.120 Pathetic, of course. 0.98

00:28:41.120 Pathetic, of course. 1.00

00:28:42.120 And I also, it also pretty hilarious. 0.96

00:28:44.120 I always get a kick out of the term unceded when it's used in these things, unceded.

00:28:50.120 Yeah, we know that it was unceded.

00:28:53.120 Of course, you didn't seed it because that's not how this works.

00:28:56.120 The 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.

00:29:05.120 I mean, they didn't cede it to you.

00:29:08.120 You didn't cede to us.

00:29:10.120 That's not how any of this works.

00:29:12.120 There was a giant wilderness, which was basically the entire Western Hemisphere.

00:29:17.120 And there was only one way to determine who gets to claim possession of it.

00:29:21.120 And that was conquest.

00:29:23.120 And you had a whole bunch of different groups vying over the course of hundreds of years.

00:29:30.120 And the European settlers, the European powers won that war.

00:29:37.120 That's it.

00:29:38.120 They won.

00:29:40.120 Sorry about your luck, but you lost the war.

00:29:43.120 So that's how it goes.

00:29:44.120 And Europeans won the game of conquest because their civilization was superior to the one that it supplanted. 0.99

00:29:52.120 And you might ask, well, what do I mean by superior?

00:29:55.120 In what sense?

00:29:56.120 And I would say in literally every sense.

00:30:00.120 By every possible metric is what I mean.

00:30:05.120 So that's it.

00:30:08.120 So 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.

00:30:18.120 But 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?

00:30:30.120 I mean, that's the really funny thing.

00:30:32.120 The person who does the land acknowledgment to assuage their guilt only in that act actually inherits guilt.

00:30:43.120 Like the thing you do to be rid of guilt makes you guilty.

00:30:49.120 Actually.

00:30:50.120 So 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. 0.86

00:31:04.120 Because if you don't then by your own testimony, you are a thief and a burglar and worse. 0.85

00:31:15.120 Now. 0.94

00:31:16.120 I'm not like I reject the premise.

00:31:20.120 I don't believe that I'm on stolen land.

00:31:23.120 I don't think that conquest is theft.

00:31:26.120 Because it isn't.

00:31:29.120 Because for one thing, theft implies ownership.

00:31:34.120 But 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.

00:31:51.120 There's not one single group that can say I own this entire side of the world.

00:31:56.120 Doesn't work that way.

00:31:57.120 Nobody owned it.

00:31:58.120 And so there was there was this war that went on and on and on and on and on through the centuries.

00:32:03.120 So that's the difference between conquest and theft.

00:32:07.120 So the whatever the group is, what was the group that he was apologizing to there?

00:32:16.120 It's like, oh, well, this was there.

00:32:20.120 How was it their land?

00:32:21.120 Why did it?

00:32:22.120 Why was it theirs?

00:32:23.120 Well, they were here first.

00:32:24.120 No, they weren't.

00:32:25.120 Actually, they actually weren't here first.

00:32:28.120 Whoever was there first was like those people are long gone millennia ago.

00:32:34.120 So they weren't there first.

00:32:36.120 And that's the way conquest goes.

00:32:39.120 So I reject the premise.

00:32:42.120 I would say that this land was conquered fair and square morally and rightly.

00:32:47.120 That's the fact.

00:32:48.120 That's a fact.

00:32:49.120 I recognize that fact.

00:32:51.120 So I have no guilt.

00:32:53.120 Quite the opposite.

00:32:54.120 I have pride.

00:32:55.120 I'm immensely proud of the fact that I'm on conquered land.

00:32:58.120 But if you actually think differently, if you actually think that you are somehow guilty of theft,

00:33:04.120 then in that case, you have a responsibility to act on that belief.

00:33:10.120 I don't have a responsibility to act on your beliefs.

00:33:13.120 They're your beliefs.

00:33:14.120 I don't believe that.

00:33:16.120 But if you do, then yeah, you should give your land up.

00:33:21.120 If you're some woke liberal and you go around and say, oh, we're on stolen land.

00:33:27.120 And if you live next door to me, then I would say, well, then you need to move.

00:33:32.120 You need to give your house up.

00:33:34.120 And you can't say to me, well, are you going to give yours up?

00:33:36.120 No, I'm not giving mine up because I'm not on stolen land.

00:33:39.120 I don't think that.

00:33:40.120 I don't believe that.

00:33:41.120 But you do, according to you. 0.86

00:33:44.120 So if you don't give your land up, then you are a thief by your own admission.

00:33:50.120 It's like this.

00:33:52.120 Imagine that I found $20 lying on the ground, right?

00:33:57.120 Now imagine that the $20 is actually my money, that it fell out of my pocket.

00:34:01.120 But I don't know it, right?

00:34:04.120 And so that means that they're $20 on the ground.

00:34:08.120 It's actually mine, but I don't know that.

00:34:10.120 I think that it's somebody else's.

00:34:13.120 So if I take the money and pocket it for myself, I'm stealing.

00:34:20.120 Um, because by my own, I'm not, I'm not actually taking, like it really does belong to me, but I'm, I'm trying to steal by my own.

00:34:30.120 I am in that case, guilty of the sin of stealing, at least in my heart, if not actually.

00:34:37.120 Um, so even though I didn't actually steal anything in reality and these land acknowledgement types are kind of like that.

00:34:45.120 They supposedly think that they're guilty of theft.

00:34:50.120 They aren't, but they think that at least they say they do.

00:34:56.120 And yet they don't do anything to make it right.

00:34:59.120 So it's, it's very similar.

00:35:01.120 I've made this point many times about the climate alarmists.

00:35:04.120 See, I have no guilt about driving my gas guzzling vehicles around.

00:35:10.120 I have a, we have multiple gas guzzling vehicles.

00:35:13.120 I have a, we have a massive van that takes diesel and we drive that thing thousands of miles a year.

00:35:18.120 Um, just all kinds of emissions going.

00:35:21.120 I mean, we're, we're so many, we've single handedly killed, uh, entire families of polar bears with our, with our thing.

00:35:30.120 I have no guilt about it because I know that the climate change narrative is bogus.

00:35:35.120 So I'm fine.

00:35:37.120 But 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.

00:35:50.120 And 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.

00:36:02.120 I'm bringing about the destruction of humanity in my own mind.

00:36:07.120 And yet I'm doing it anyway.

00:36:11.120 Um, so it's the same for the land acknowledgement thing.

00:36:16.120 Now 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.

00:36:29.120 Um, 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.

00:36:36.120 Because the other option is that they do believe it.

00:36:41.120 The other option is that they actually believe that when they drive their car, they are personally contributing to the destruction of human society.

00:36:50.120 And yet they're doing it anyway. 0.96

00:36:53.120 What a bunch of sociopaths, if that's the case. 0.98

00:36:56.120 All right. 0.91

00:36:58.120 Daily Mail has this report.

00:37:00.120 Shocking footage captured the moment that two female Secret Service agents fought with each other outside former President Barack Obama's $8 million DC mansion.

00:37:08.120 The altercation unfolded May 21st at around 2.30 AM as the former president's security detail grappled next to a police vehicle.

00:37:15.120 Um, the agent and the, there's an audio. 0.99

00:37:20.120 The agent says, can I get a supervisor down to Delta II immediately before I whoop this girl's ass? 0.99

00:37:25.120 It 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. 0.98

00:37:35.120 So here's a quick clip of this altercation.

00:37:38.120 I don't know if there's sound to this.

00:37:39.120 I don't think there is.

00:37:40.120 Let's take a look.

00:37:42.120 No, no sound.

00:37:43.120 Okay.

00:37:44.120 So there they are.

00:37:45.120 Great.

00:37:46.120 Secret Service agents.

00:37:48.120 That's what you like to see from Secret Service agents, isn't it?

00:37:51.120 Are those Secret Service agents or are they Waffle House patrons?

00:37:56.120 It's impossible to tell.

00:37:57.120 Well, the Waffle House-ification of American society continues, which is great. 0.99

00:38:03.120 And by great, I mean catastrophically terrible.

00:38:06.120 So just a review here.

00:38:07.120 Over the past year, multiple Secret Service agents have been suspended for getting into fights with each other on the job.

00:38:16.120 And according to this report that I just read, all of them are female.

00:38:22.120 So add this to the list of very obvious patterns that we're not supposed to notice.

00:38:27.120 And if we do notice, we're not supposed to draw any unapproved conclusions from the pattern that we noticed.

00:38:33.120 And this is the game, you know, the left puts these DEI policies in place, insists that we must diversify.

00:38:39.120 We must include women into traditionally male occupations and so forth.

00:38:43.120 And then when planes start crashing, when helicopters are steered directly into passenger jets, when Secret Service agents are getting into catfights,

00:38:54.120 we're not supposed to see any of that as evidence against the policy.

00:39:02.120 Because nothing that happens can ever be evidence against it.

00:39:05.120 So they put the DEI policy in place.

00:39:08.120 And then we say, you know, we really shouldn't do that because this policy will have a bunch of negative consequences.

00:39:14.120 And then they say, oh yeah, what kind of negative consequences?

00:39:17.120 And then we point and say, well, those, like, you see that?

00:39:22.120 Oh, you see those, like the cat fight between cigarettes, like that?

00:39:26.120 The female helicopter pilots steering a helicopter directly into a passenger plane, killing dozens of people. 0.98

00:39:32.120 Like, you know, like that kind of thing.

00:39:38.120 And then when we say that, they say, oh, well, you know, those don't count.

00:39:42.120 What other evidence?

00:39:44.120 Okay, well here, how about this, that and this?

00:39:46.120 What about this and that?

00:39:47.120 Yeah, none of that counts.

00:39:48.120 None of it counts.

00:39:51.120 That's the way it goes.

00:39:52.120 It never counts.

00:39:53.120 Every negative consequence is always just somehow an aberration, an exception, no matter how frequent it is, no matter how foreseeable it is.

00:40:03.120 And in reality, you know, this goes to show why it is absurd to include women in these kinds of jobs. 1.00

00:40:11.120 It is just ridiculous. 0.86

00:40:12.120 I'm sorry.

00:40:13.120 Well, I'm not really sorry. 0.95

00:40:15.120 It is ridiculous to have female Secret Service agents. 1.00

00:40:19.120 Secret Service agents. 0.96

00:40:20.120 It is absurd.

00:40:21.120 It's cartoonish.

00:40:22.120 Like, it's laughable.

00:40:23.120 There's no good reason for it.

00:40:25.120 There's no legitimate reason to open up these jobs to women. 1.00

00:40:28.120 There just isn't.

00:40:29.120 There just isn't.

00:40:30.120 You cannot tell me that there aren't enough qualified men to fill these roles.

00:40:33.120 You cannot tell me that there aren't enough qualified men who would love to be Secret Service agents.

00:40:37.120 I don't believe it.

00:40:39.120 You know, that's nonsense.

00:40:40.120 We aren't putting women in these roles as some sort of desperate last resort.

00:40:44.120 We are, in fact, excluding men specifically so that we can include these women.

00:40:50.120 And it's indefensible.

00:40:51.120 There is no valid reason for it.

00:40:53.120 There just isn't.

00:40:55.120 Women are not fit to be Secret Service agents, period. 1.00

00:41:00.120 Why aren't they fit? 0.99

00:41:02.120 Well, for one thing, they're too physically weak for the job.

00:41:05.120 They lack the physical strength required to suitably protect the people that the Secret Service are supposed to be protecting.

00:41:11.120 And also, and this is the part that I guess is supposed to be more controversial.

00:41:16.120 Also, women are, on average, too emotional for these kinds of jobs. 1.00

00:41:23.120 You know, women are much more emotional than men.

00:41:26.120 That's just a fact.

00:41:28.120 And guess what?

00:41:29.120 There's nothing wrong with that.

00:41:31.120 Actually, I think it's great.

00:41:34.120 I'm glad that women, like, my wife is a much more emotional person than I am.

00:41:41.120 Which I know you could say is, like, not saying much.

00:41:43.120 It's a pretty low bar when it comes to emotion with me.

00:41:45.120 But still, she's a much more emotional person than I am.

00:41:48.120 And that's wonderful.

00:41:49.120 I'm glad she is.

00:41:50.120 I'm glad she isn't this, like, stoic, serious, stone-faced statue like I am.

00:41:57.120 I can't imagine being married to that.

00:41:59.120 Who would want that? 0.89

00:42:01.120 So I'm very glad for that.

00:42:04.120 So women being emotional doesn't have to be a problem. 1.00

00:42:09.120 It doesn't have to be an indictment.

00:42:12.120 It doesn't have to be a pitfall or a flaw.

00:42:16.120 It only becomes a flaw when we put them in situations where being emotional is a liability.

00:42:23.120 Which, in many cases, it's not.

00:42:26.120 And 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.

00:42:36.120 There are contexts where that's a strength, where that's where you want that.

00:42:42.120 But there are times where it's a liability.

00:42:46.120 And that's a Secret Service agent on the battlefield.

00:42:52.120 Right?

00:42:53.120 You want people who are, on average, stronger, less emotional, more stoic.

00:43:00.120 And guess what?

00:43:01.120 That's always going to be men.

00:43:03.120 Okay?

00:43:04.120 That's always going to be men.

00:43:06.120 That's what you need men for. 0.99

00:43:08.120 It's like for stuff like that.

00:43:09.120 Yep.

00:43:10.120 That'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.

00:43:17.120 That, well, it's all, a man is always going to be, going to fit that bill more.

00:43:28.120 And, you know, this is where so much of the modern tension between the sexes comes from.

00:43:34.120 When we hear that sexism is on the rise or whatever, that anti-woman sentiments are on the rise, it comes from this.

00:43:42.120 It comes from insisting that women be crowbarred into positions that they just are not suited for. 1.00

00:43:47.120 And that it's okay they aren't suited for.

00:43:50.120 There are roles that men are not suited for.

00:43:53.120 I've said many times, I would never in a million years hire a man to babysit my kids.

00:44:01.120 Not in a million years would I do that.

00:44:05.120 There's just no way.

00:44:07.120 Hiring's like, and most people feel the same way.

00:44:10.120 Now, 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. 0.99

00:44:21.120 That's insulting.

00:44:23.120 Well, I am saying that, yes.

00:44:27.120 But interpreting it as insulting is your choice.

00:44:31.120 That is a reflection of your values and your priorities.

00:44:35.120 Don't project that onto me.

00:44:39.120 You know, I think caring for children is a very important role in society.

00:44:44.120 If you don't think that, that's your problem.

00:44:46.120 So 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. 0.93

00:44:58.120 That apparently is the way you look at it.

00:45:01.120 But if you're on the left, I don't see it that way.

00:45:04.120 I don't see it that way.

00:45:06.120 In fact, from my perspective, caring for my children is more important than protecting the president.

00:45:15.120 OK, I know that's not the case from like the nation's perspective.

00:45:18.120 But 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.

00:45:29.120 I care more about my kids than I do about the president.

00:45:33.120 Obviously.

00:45:34.120 And we all do about our own kids.

00:45:35.120 And 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.

00:45:48.120 Are you kidding me?

00:45:49.120 That's incredibly important.

00:45:51.120 And that's a job where I would always choose a woman. 1.00

00:45:55.120 And because I think women are more suited for that. 1.00

00:45:57.120 Men and women are different.

00:45:59.120 They're suited for different things.

00:46:00.120 But again, so much of the tension, you know, comes from our denial of this fact.

00:46:07.120 And it's like it's like if there was some law passed that said that every NBA team had to include include at least one short person.

00:46:18.120 You know, and the short person has to be a starter on the team.

00:46:22.120 Right.

00:46:23.120 At least one person below average height has to be on the court at all times for both teams.

00:46:30.120 Right.

00:46:31.120 Now, I have no bias against short people.

00:46:35.120 I don't hate short people.

00:46:37.120 I have no issue with them.

00:46:40.120 You know, I look down at them and I say, how's it going down there?

00:46:43.120 Little guy that, you know, I have no judgment at all.

00:46:48.120 You know, I pat him on the head and say, oh, they're their short little guy.

00:46:52.120 Short little guy.

00:46:53.120 I mean, that's, you know, because I'm very nice to short people.

00:46:56.120 But and I have no hate for them.

00:47:00.120 But I would hate them in that role if they were forced into it.

00:47:05.120 I would hate if I loved basketball, which I don't really.

00:47:08.120 And the product has already been destroyed by the NBA.

00:47:10.120 But let's just pretend that I like basketball and the product has not been destroyed yet.

00:47:14.120 Well, shoehorning in short people into basketball would destroy the product on the court. 0.57

00:47:21.120 And I would hate that.

00:47:22.120 I wouldn't hate them as people, but I would I would hate them for that role.

00:47:27.120 I would hate them in that position.

00:47:30.120 I would hate that they're in that position.

00:47:33.120 And.

00:47:35.120 And, you know, and then you might say, oh, well, you hate short people.

00:47:38.120 You have an anti short person bias.

00:47:40.120 No, I don't.

00:47:41.120 Short people are fine.

00:47:43.120 I have no beef with them.

00:47:45.120 When you randomly demand that they be included in this position that where they don't belong.

00:47:49.120 Where they're not suited.

00:47:52.120 Well, now you've created a context where I am anti short person in that context.

00:47:59.120 Not in general, but just in that context.

00:48:01.120 But you've created that.

00:48:03.120 You've created this tension that didn't have to be there.

00:48:08.120 So it's the same thing with women. 1.00

00:48:10.120 I'm not anti women.

00:48:11.120 Obviously, my my favorite person on Earth is my wife.

00:48:15.120 She's a woman. 0.82

00:48:16.120 I have daughters.

00:48:17.120 I love them more than my own life.

00:48:18.120 I jump in front of a bullet for them without hesitation.

00:48:22.120 So how can I hate women? 0.59

00:48:23.120 It's like it's actually impossible.

00:48:26.120 But I am anti woman secret service agents. 1.00

00:48:31.120 I am anti woman in combat in those particular contexts. 1.00

00:48:37.120 So if we if you're looking around and say, oh, there's all this anti woman sentiment.

00:48:44.120 Well, it's like a lot of it.

00:48:47.120 If 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.

00:48:57.120 And so you are creating that.

00:48:58.120 And so you are creating that.

00:49:00.120 When you institute these policies, you are creating those contexts where this tension and this.

00:49:08.120 These these these, you know, negative feelings are going to come about as a result.

00:49:14.120 So that's how you start that out.

00:49:23.120 Pro life advocates need to know this.

00:49:25.120 Despite the overturning of Roe v Wade, abortions actually increased by nearly one percent last year.

00:49:30.120 That's over one hundred thousand additional procedures happening, bringing the total to an estimated.

00:49:36.120 Well, an estimate that's over a million per year.

00:49:39.120 These numbers show the urgent need for action beyond legal victories.

00:49:44.120 Preborn is directly addressing this crisis.

00:49:46.120 Their network of clinics operates in the area with the highest abortion rates, providing immediate support to women facing unplanned pregnancies.

00:49:53.120 They offer compassionate care and free ultrasounds, helping women see and connect with their babies.

00:49:58.120 Because when women hear a fetal heartbeat, they're twice as likely to choose life. 0.99

00:50:02.120 Last year alone, Preborn helped over sixty seven thousand women choose to continue their pregnancies.

00:50:08.120 But the numbers show that there's critical work still to be done.

00:50:11.120 Right now, women are walking into abortion clinics who could be reached with the right support and the right resources.

00:50:16.120 Your monthly support of twenty eight dollars directly funds this life saving work.

00:50:20.120 Every day matters when over one million lives hang in the balance.

00:50:23.120 Preborn has proven results in changing hearts and saving lives.

00:50:26.120 But they need sustained support to expand their reach where it's needed most.

00:50:30.120 To donate, simply dial pound two fifty and say the keyword baby.

00:50:34.120 That's pound two fifty baby. 1.00

00:50:36.120 Or visit preborn dot com slash Walsh.

00:50:38.120 That's preborn dot com slash Walsh.

00:51:05.120 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:51:07.120 Well, it's that time of year again.

00:51:14.120 Students are graduating from universities all over the country after several years of hard work or very little work in many cases.

00:51:22.120 They're getting their diplomas and heading out into the real world.

00:51:25.120 And you know what that means?

00:51:26.120 It'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.

00:51:37.120 Now, 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.

00:51:47.120 Yes, 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. 0.79

00:51:58.120 And here's a brief snippet of what that looked like. 0.93

00:52:02.120 Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up!

00:52:21.120 Ermis Anderson said, the last shall be first and the first shall be last, receiving a bachelor of arts in disciplinary studies field, political economy,

00:52:31.120 legal studies and African American studies.

00:52:35.120 He said disbursement and allocation, reparations for African Americans.

00:52:42.120 So if you're listening to the audio podcast, the graduates are doing a lot of jumping around and crawling around on the stage.

00:52:49.120 Onlookers are quite thrilled by it.

00:52:52.120 Very proud of, what was that, a bachelor's in political economy?

00:52:57.120 Just minutes and minutes of work required to obtain a degree of that kind.

00:53:07.120 So that's what's going on there.

00:53:11.120 But what you cannot do under any circumstances is deny that Berkeley accomplished something really special here.

00:53:18.120 They set the standard.

00:53:19.120 You know, every other school in the country really needed to up their game after this.

00:53:23.120 If they wanted to determine, undermine the credibility and integrity of their own commencement ceremonies.

00:53:28.120 And by extension, the credibility and integrity of the degrees that they were awarding.

00:53:31.120 So, let's see.

00:53:33.120 How have other schools been doing since this incident?

00:53:37.120 What have they learned from Berkeley after taking some time in the off-season to train hard and become woke grandmasters?

00:53:43.120 How exactly are they going to dethrone Berkeley as the international champion of unwatchable graduation ceremonies?

00:53:49.120 Well, 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,

00:53:56.120 which was previously known as the University of California Hastings School of Law until around two years ago.

00:54:01.120 But then they changed their name, sort of like the Redskins, and for similar reasons, as you'll see in a second.

00:54:07.120 And admittedly, it's a two-hour ceremony.

00:54:09.120 I didn't have time or anywhere near the interest to watch the whole thing.

00:54:13.120 But 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.

00:54:21.120 So, behold the first minute of the University of California Law School's commencement.

00:54:26.120 Here it is.

00:54:28.120 Good afternoon, everyone, and welcome.

00:54:34.120 I'm Albert Sanker, and I serve as chair of the board of directors of UC Law.

00:54:40.120 Before we began our program, we made it now our tradition to do so at the start of every commencement.

00:54:47.120 We 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.

00:55:05.120 Currently, UC Law is engaged in restorative justice initiatives that will provide educational opportunities for their youth.

00:55:14.120 While 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.

00:55:29.120 So, just to be very clear about this, this is the first minute.

00:55:34.120 I mean, the first thing he says at this commencement ceremony for graduates is a lengthy apology for the old name of their school.

00:55:42.120 He's really, really sorry that the school in the past used to be named for a prominent lawyer and politician named Serenis Hastings.

00:55:49.120 And apparently, Hastings mistreated something called the Yuki people, and therefore the school is going to engage in restorative justice.

00:55:56.120 And he gets a lot of applause for this, as you just saw.

00:55:58.120 Now, 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. 0.80

00:56:09.120 Even given that assumption, this commencement speaker still has to answer the following question.

00:56:14.120 If 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, 0.99

00:56:23.120 why 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?

00:56:32.120 They could do that immediately if they wanted to.

00:56:34.120 They could hand over every cent of the University of California's $30 billion endowment.

00:56:39.120 But they're not doing that because they don't actually believe anything they're saying.

00:56:43.120 They'd rather taunt the poor Yuki people, God rest their souls. 1.00

00:56:48.120 Now, 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.

00:56:57.120 In 2023, the California Supreme Court's Historical Society Review published a thorough review of Serenis Hastings' life.

00:57:04.120 This review found that, quote, there's no assertion and no evidence that he killed or knew in advance of any plan to kill Indians.

00:57:11.120 In 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.

00:57:22.120 Rather, 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.

00:57:32.120 So, 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.

00:57:42.120 They're saying that he asked for a militia to form and therefore he's responsible for everything the militia did.

00:57:47.120 That's the allegation.

00:57:49.120 And yet, even though their claims are extremely flimsy and incoherent, they're still apologizing for the old name of their school anyway.

00:57:57.120 So, and I guess they're going to do this at every graduation ceremony, you know, for all time.

00:58:03.120 So that's pretty embarrassing. 0.97

00:58:05.120 And 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. 0.92

00:58:15.120 But the real question isn't whether this ceremony was embarrassing.

00:58:19.120 The question is whether it's as embarrassing as Berkeley's from 2023 because, again, that's the standard.

00:58:24.120 So let's bracket that whole ceremony for now and move on because there's a lot of competition.

00:58:29.120 Here, for example, is a clip from Jennifer Coolidge's address at Emerson College's commencement in Massachusetts a few weeks ago.

00:58:37.120 Apparently, this woman is, oh, yeah, I recognize her. 1.00

00:58:40.120 She's from, what was that show again?

00:58:43.120 White Lotus.

00:58:44.120 Yeah.

00:58:45.120 Isn't that her?

00:58:46.120 Anyway, here she is. 0.99

00:58:47.120 Let's watch.

00:58:48.120 I just want you to know that I'm excited that I'm speaking with you. 0.94

00:58:54.120 You know, some very excited gay students.

00:58:58.120 Some less exciting hetero students.

00:59:18.120 Now, 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. 0.95

00:59:27.120 And that line went over really well, as you could tell.

00:59:30.120 In particular, they can't get enough of this little speech on Reddit.

00:59:33.120 In response to the clip, one of the most upvoted posts reads, quote, she nails comedy.

00:59:39.120 Another post reads, I already started my day by dreading all the heteros I have to face, LMAO.

00:59:45.120 And then there's this one, quote, people are gay slash bi until they come out as straight. 1.00

00:59:50.120 So it's all very dumb and embarrassing. 0.99

00:59:52.120 But again, the question is just how dumb and embarrassing is it, relatively speaking? 0.99

00:59:56.120 You say what you will about the dancing students at the all black Berkeley commencement ceremony. 0.99

01:00:00.120 But they didn't inspire swarms of gay men on Reddit to sing their praises. 0.93

01:00:04.120 That's another level of humiliation, one that only Emerson College has obtained thus far. 0.88

01:00:08.120 But again, it's a very crowded field.

01:00:10.120 So let's continue.

01:00:11.120 Here's the commencement address also just from the last week or two.

01:00:15.120 That 60 Minutes newsreader Scott Pelley just delivered at Wake Forest, one of the most deranged institutions in the country.

01:00:22.120 This is the same university that defended a medical student who bragged about injuring a patient who mocked her preferred pronouns.

01:00:27.120 And now they've got the 60 Minutes guy, supposedly a serious newsman, delivering a rambling hyper-partisan speech at their graduation.

01:00:35.120 Watch.

01:00:36.120 But in this moment, this moment, this morning, our sacred rule of law is under attack.

01:00:46.120 Journalism is under attack.

01:00:49.120 Universities are under attack.

01:00:52.120 Freedom of speech is under attack.

01:00:57.120 And insidious fear is reaching through our schools, our businesses, our homes, and into our private thoughts.

01:01:14.120 The fear to speak in America.

01:01:21.120 Power can rewrite history with grotesque, false narratives.

01:01:29.120 They can make criminals heroes and heroes criminals.

01:01:35.120 Power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality.

01:01:43.120 Diversity is now described as illegal.

01:01:48.120 Equity is to be shunned. 0.98

01:01:52.120 Inclusion is a dirty word.

01:01:56.120 This is an old playbook, my friends.

01:02:01.120 There's nothing new in this.

01:02:04.120 Now, just to be very clear, when he says they're making criminals heroes, he is somehow not talking about George Floyd.

01:02:11.120 And 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.

01:02:23.120 So he's not talking about any of that.

01:02:26.120 Now, there's one great quote in that word vomit, mainly because it makes no sense whatsoever in the context.

01:02:32.120 He says, quote, power can change the definition of the words we use to describe reality.

01:02:37.120 He really thinks that's a profound statement.

01:02:40.120 It's supposed to be very chilling.

01:02:42.120 And 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.

01:02:52.120 That doesn't mean that the current administration is changing the definition of equity or DEI.

01:02:57.120 Instead, the administration is just saying that these practices are unconstitutional and immoral.

01:03:02.120 And that's a pretty big point that Scott Pelley doesn't seem to grasp, even as he seems to think he's struck gold.

01:03:07.120 He's really proud of himself here and waving his arms around.

01:03:11.120 He thinks he's making a really profound point, even though he's making no sense whatsoever.

01:03:15.120 But 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.

01:03:24.120 The left's goal is to change the definition of words that we use to describe reality.

01:03:29.120 I mean, no reasonable person could deny that.

01:03:32.120 They're the ones who decided on a whim that the word woman means anyone who says they're a woman. 0.90

01:03:38.120 They'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.

01:03:45.120 They're the ones who have redefined marriage so that pretty much anything qualifies.

01:03:48.120 These are the people who are changing the definition of words that we use to describe reality. 0.75

01:03:52.120 But 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.

01:04:00.120 In any event, we'll introduce one more contender just to try to cover our bases, even though it's probably a losing battle. 0.91

01:04:06.120 As I go through these, it's becoming more and more evident that Berkeley is probably going to retain the throne, retain the crown.

01:04:13.120 But here's a speaker at the commencement ceremony of Middlebury College in Vermont.

01:04:17.120 And this was back in February.

01:04:19.120 Watch how she describes her reaction to Trump's reelection.

01:04:22.120 The footage is sped up a little bit, but it's still relatively comprehensible. 0.99

01:04:26.120 And it's good that it's sped up because it's so stupid and unbearable that, you know, you want to get through it as fast as you can. 0.97

01:04:31.120 But here it is. Watch. 0.99

01:04:33.120 The ways that Middlebury fails its students make this sobering truth abundantly clear.

01:04:38.120 This is heartbreaking.

01:04:40.120 If there's anything you hear of what I'm saying, let it be this.

01:04:43.120 When our hearts break, let them break open like pomegranates and burst with seeds that can take root.

01:04:50.120 We are literally graduating the same month a fascist has taken office.

01:04:54.120 Within 11 days, he has pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time, denied the existence of trans people,

01:04:59.120 and unleashed a slew of ICE agents to arrest an average of 1,000 people every single day since they began.

01:05:04.120 As global citizens, we cannot just focus on the violence of this campus or in the United States.

01:05:09.120 We must extend our moral imagination to every life on this planet.

01:05:13.120 Let's go back to that money line again, because it's really quite beautiful.

01:05:19.120 She says, quote, if there's anything you hear in what I'm saying, let it be this.

01:05:23.120 When our hearts break, let them break open like pomegranates and burst with seeds that can take root.

01:05:30.120 We are literally graduating the same month a fascist is taking office.

01:05:33.120 Within 11 days, he pulled out of the Paris Climate Agreement for the second time.

01:05:37.120 Close quote.

01:05:38.120 Now, as far as metaphors go, you might say that it's, you know, pretty bad.

01:05:43.120 When our hearts break, let them break open like pomegranates.

01:05:47.120 But then she manages to outdo herself.

01:05:49.120 She 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.

01:05:58.120 That's the new standard for fascism, according to the commencement speaker at Middlebury College in Vermont.

01:06:03.120 It turns out that you don't need a totalitarian one party state.

01:06:06.120 You don't need state control over the media or an all encompassing government mandated ideology in every aspect of your life.

01:06:13.120 Instead, all you need is to pull out of a non binding international agreement to lower your carbon emissions.

01:06:19.120 An agreement that no one, including the largest polluter on the planet, is taking seriously anyway.

01:06:24.120 That's it.

01:06:25.120 Oh, and you also have to deny the existence of trans people.

01:06:28.120 That's what fascism is, apparently.

01:06:30.120 But as humiliating as this speech is, the question remains, just how humiliating is it?

01:06:35.120 How 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?

01:06:50.120 If I'm being honest, I'd have to say that Berkeley probably retains its crown.

01:06:55.120 All 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.

01:07:05.120 We're experiencing yet another off year in the woke Olympics is what I'm saying.

01:07:09.120 But as the good coaches say, there's always next year.

01:07:12.120 And 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.

01:07:21.120 That'll do it for the show today.

01:07:22.120 Thanks for watching.

01:07:23.120 Thanks for listening.

01:07:24.120 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:07:25.120 Have a great day.

01:07:26.120 Godspeed.

01:07:27.120 Have a great day.

01:07:28.120 Bye.
