Chaos erupts in Los Angeles as riots break out to protest the deportation of criminal aliens. It s the Summer of Love 2.0, and it could get a lot worse if the terrorists aren t subdued and brought to justice. Also, the Elon versus Trump feud seems to have died down after just a day or two, but I have a few thoughts on the subject. And Simone Biles launches a vicious personal attack against Riley Gaines on behalf of men who want to play in women s sports. We ll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:15:47.060They don't even suffer consequences, you know, after the fact.
00:15:51.400So they keep doing it just like they did five years ago.
00:15:54.460And just in case you thought the parallels to 2020 weren't explicit enough, here's another one.
00:15:58.680You might remember this image from 2020 as the buildings are being burned behind the CNN reporter.
00:16:05.340And the text at the bottom of the screen infamously describes the riots as fiery but mostly peaceful as everything is being torched in the background.
00:16:12.960It instantly became an iconic image for obvious reasons.
00:16:15.920And now Democrats are bringing it back.
00:16:17.360The other day, a Democrat congresswoman appeared on CNN to declare that the L.A. riots are mostly peaceful, even as CNN showed footage of burning cars on the screen.
00:16:49.940Pay no attention to the burning vehicles on your screen as she says that.
00:16:54.140Meanwhile, the sheriff of Los Angeles County, a guy named Robert Luna, is saying the same thing.
00:16:58.960He's pledging not to assist the federal government as it attempts to enforce immigration law.
00:17:03.340Now, if you're noticing something of a pattern here, powerful political figures with Hispanic last names are telling you to shut up and enjoy the riots.
00:17:11.700In fact, in some cases, we're being told that quite literally.
00:17:16.500An ABC reporter just gave us a quote that may prove to be more infamous and iconic than the fiery but mostly peaceful line from CNN.
00:17:25.860Listen to how this guy characterized the scene.
00:17:29.080It could turn very volatile if you move law enforcement in there in the wrong way and turn what is just a bunch of people having fun watching cars burn into a massive confrontation and altercation between officers and demonstrators.
00:17:47.820It's just a group of people having fun watching cars burn.
00:17:51.900That's the analysis from the media as political leaders continue to openly encourage the rioting as well.
00:17:58.960Watch as one California lawmaker named Eunice Hernandez explains that the rioters are going to continue to escalate their tactics against law enforcement.
00:19:04.560Instead, their loyalty lies with the country that their parents and grandparents escaped.
00:19:08.940This is the natural end result of amnesty and birthright citizenship.
00:19:13.360The goal of the Democratic Party going back several decades has been to flood the country with people like this.
00:19:18.140Inevitably, they'll have children who can't be deported.
00:19:20.180And in the meantime, all of these illegal aliens will continue to contribute to Democrats' numbers in the census, which is why California has so many seats in Congress.
00:19:29.640It's no accident that 40 years after Reagan's amnesty, Democrats are continuing to demand the same thing.
00:19:34.860They want citizenship for as many of these aliens as possible.
00:19:38.500Here's Maxine Waters from just the other day.
00:19:40.520We have people who are immigrants here who are trying to seek a better living, who have come from places where they have experienced this kind of thing that he's doing here today.
00:19:53.580People who work every day, people who are paying taxes, who are raising their families, who are supporting education, they should not be treated this way.
00:20:02.620They should be given an opportunity to tell their story, whom they are, and why they're here, and ask the United States to please do what the Constitution allows us to do, and that is give them consideration for having citizenship here.
00:20:18.160So the promise has always been the same.
00:20:22.040Amnesty, they tell us, will result in stability and assimilation, but the opposite has been true.
00:20:27.920Amnesty just codified and legitimizes the invasion while creating a permanent class of people who hate this country and are emboldened to act on that hatred.
00:20:36.900And it's on full display right now in Los Angeles.
00:20:38.760It's also on display in places like Houston and New York, which have seen similar demonstrations in recent days.
00:20:43.700It's on display in Minnesota, too, where there's just been yet another shooting involving Somalis, one of whom has been arrested.
00:20:53.300This is the third violent episode to unfold at a Minneapolis-area high school involving Somalis just this year.
00:21:00.440It's almost as if the reason these foreign countries are hellholes is that the people living inside them are often violent and incapable of self-governance or obeying laws or exercising any amount of restraint or personal responsibility.
00:21:12.520And then they come here and continue engaging in the same kind of behavior that destroyed their homes.
00:21:19.700With the ongoing riots and widespread destruction in Los Angeles, once again, this pattern is abundantly clear.
00:21:25.280The Trump administration has already sent in the National Guard with the Marines potentially on their way as well.
00:21:29.740These are moves that suggest the White House won't repeat the mistakes of 2020, where the left was allowed to demolish entire city blocks and torch federal buildings with impunity.
00:21:37.800And even the LAPD chief of police late last night suggested the National Guard was necessary because of the escalation of violence.
00:21:45.380But at the moment, if we're being honest, the National Guard doesn't seem to be doing much of anything.
00:21:49.660We certainly aren't seeing anything approaching the level of overwhelming force that is required.
00:21:54.840Apparently, they're still in transit or something.
00:21:56.880I have no idea why transit would take this long unless they're arriving by railway like it's the 19th century or something.
00:22:01.940But in any event, the way forward is clear.
00:22:05.180Any illegal foreign invader involved in a riot should be shipped immediately to Guantanamo Bay.
00:22:12.000Any illegal foreign invader not involved in a riot should be shipped immediately to whatever country they came from.
00:22:18.680All illegal foreign invaders must be rounded up and removed from the country one way or another.
00:22:24.640We know the FBI is capable of finding these people because they tracked down every grandmother who dared to walk near the Capitol building on January 6th.
00:22:32.520Now they need to use those resources to get these foreign criminals out of the country.
00:22:37.700That's what most Americans wanted back in 1984, even though they didn't get it.
00:22:41.980It's what most Americans want today, which is why Donald Trump just won the last election.
00:22:46.960If the United States of America is going to remain an independent country, if it's going to defeat this open revolt,
00:22:51.960then the Trump administration has no choice but to give us exactly what we voted for.
00:27:42.060It's not even just with foreign countries, but everybody.
00:27:43.940It's like anyone who's been to, you know, been to New York will claim that, oh, well, you don't know what pizza is like until you've been to New York.
00:27:53.820It's like, no, well, anywhere can make pizza.
00:27:55.980OK, like this anywhere, any anyone anywhere can make all this stuff.
00:28:03.340But it's especially the case with with Mexico.
00:28:07.420You if you live in a city or near a city, then there are probably like 20 restaurants within a 10 mile radius that make tacos better than what you'll find in Mexico.
00:28:23.060OK, that's just that's that's the fact of the matter.
00:28:26.100Tex-Mex, far superior variation of Mexican food.
00:28:30.740Everyone knows you go to a Mexican restaurant.
00:28:33.020What's the best thing on the menu is the fajita.
00:28:35.140If you don't get the fajita, you're going to be jealous of the guy at the table who does get them when they and they bring the sizzling thing out.
00:28:41.600And you're going to be looking at your enchiladas and you're going to think there's something like I should have gotten that text.
00:30:39.640I mean, there are plenty of people on the right who I who I could, I think, reasonably claim have, you know, have stabbed me in the back or wronged me in various ways.
00:32:11.380You know, they don't have to be friends, but we can't have public fighting, which which is why, again, I'm glad that Trump chose not to engage for the most part.
00:32:18.160He posted a few things, I guess, on Thursday on Truth Social.
00:32:28.760And of course, as mentioned, the most vicious blow in the fight came from Elon when he said that Trump has not released the Epstein files because he's in them.
00:32:36.400And Elon has since deleted that tweet, I believe, although doesn't really accomplish much when you delete a tweet that's already been viewed like 100 million times.
00:32:46.120But it seems like he's not going to pursue that accusation much further, which is good because it's certainly nonsense.
00:32:54.240I mean, is Trump in the Epstein files?
00:32:56.420Well, it depends on what you mean by in them.
00:32:58.460We already knew that Trump knew Epstein, had an association with him at some point in the distant past.
00:33:06.400Um, but it doesn't mean that Trump did anything illegal or inappropriate.
00:33:10.960But the obvious implication of Elon's tweets is that Trump is incriminated in the files, that there's evidence of him doing something horrible.
00:33:21.560Like even before the tweet was deleted and there seemed to be a bit of a backtrack, it was clear to me that it wasn't true because it included a lot of people because a lot of people made the same point.
00:33:33.080Which is that in order for that to be true, it would mean that the Biden administration and the intelligence agencies had this damning evidence against Trump for years and chose not to release it.
00:33:46.780It would mean that they were trying for years to devise any possible way to stop Trump from from being reelected.
00:33:55.960And yet they chose not to use the one thing that would have been sure to destroy Trump, the one thing that could have actually landed him in prison.
00:34:09.460Now, what I've heard in response to this point is that, well, maybe the Dems did have this incriminating stuff about Trump, but they couldn't release it because they are also in the files and they didn't want to burn themselves in the process.
00:34:26.200I mean, I don't doubt that they're in the files, but it's like, OK, so you're saying they they couldn't have and wouldn't have just released the stuff that involves Trump while redacting or destroying the other stuff?
00:34:40.060As if the intelligence agencies that spent a decade trying to destroy Trump couldn't figure out a way to release the stuff in the file that implicated Trump without also releasing all the other stuff.
00:34:54.500I mean, what even is the claim here that Trump's enemies thought it would be what poor sportsmanship to release his part of the Epstein files without releasing all the rest of it?
00:35:04.600As if the file is like one indivisible organism that it's like if you put out part of it, you got to put out the whole thing.
00:35:13.760What would have happened if Trump was actually in the Epstein files in the sense of being incriminated in them is that the only surviving parts of the files would be the parts that have Trump in them and the rest of it would never see the light of day.
00:35:28.080But there are no parts with Trump, and that's why we never saw it.
00:35:32.820And Trump is the most vetted, most scrutinized, most transparent politician in American history.
00:35:37.680But even if you don't like him, you have to admit that we know everything.
00:35:40.400We know everything we need to know about him and a lot of stuff we don't need to know.
00:35:46.160So there's just no way that this detail somehow never made it into the light.
00:35:49.840But it seems that Elon has stepped back from that claim anyway, and I hope that their differences stay private from here on out, because that's the only way forward, especially with everything we see going on right now in the news.
00:36:07.640All right. I want to mention this to Daily Wire reports.
00:36:12.500Prosecutors say Luigi Mangione kept diaries chronicling in chilling detail his plans to assassinate UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson and revealing he backed off of a mass casualty attack that he had initially conceived.
00:36:26.140The self-proclaimed anti-capitalist wrote in his manifesto that he chose to whack the CEO rather than bomb the UnitedHealthcare headquarters because he believed it would generate better headlines and be less likely to be deemed terrorism.
00:36:37.640Mangione allegedly wrote in a red spiral notebook, quote,
00:36:41.580So say you want to rebel against the deadly greed-fueled health insurance cartel. Do you bomb the HQ? No. Bombs equal terrorism.
00:36:52.200Manhattan prosecutors are confident that this is open and shut case, pointing to evidence continuing to pile up, indicating that Mangione's goal was to send a message.
00:36:59.000And part of the diary that has been previously released, Mangione reasoned that someone would whack the CEO at the annual parasitic bean counter convention.
00:37:08.460It's targeted and precise and doesn't risk innocence.
00:37:11.260The University of Pennsylvania graduate justified targeting insurance providers because they literally extract human life force for money.
00:37:22.220The point is made in the news headlines, insurance CEO killed an annual investors conference.
00:37:27.020It conveys a greedy bastard that had it coming.
00:37:29.300And the report goes on about how Mangione was very concerned about how the, quote unquote, normies would respond to his, to his attack.
00:37:39.880And he wanted to, he wanted, he knew he wanted to kill people and he wanted to engage in this act of terrorism,
00:37:46.160but he wanted to do it in a way that would manipulate the feelings of the, quote unquote, normies.
00:37:51.480And, uh, unfortunately he was successful.
00:38:01.740And I think it's, and that's the update on the, uh, the Mangione case.
00:38:05.100It goes to, it's the, uh, his first court appearances in, uh, in a couple of weeks on June 26th.
00:38:11.580I think it's important to bring this up now in light of the situation in California.
00:38:15.400And I'm going to keep bringing it up as the, as, as, as, as this continues, because I know there are a lot of people on the right who would like to pretend that they never cheered this scumbag on or expressed any sympathy with it, with him.
00:38:33.380But if you're in that group, uh, I'm not gonna let you forget it so easily because there's an important lesson that needs to be learned here.
00:38:41.460And yeah, I might be a little resentful.
00:38:44.840I mean, I, I was ripped to shreds six months ago by a lot of self-professed conservatives and even some, quote unquote, long time fans, um, who probably weren't that, but we're claiming it anyway, uh, because I didn't defend Mangione.
00:39:16.160This was the craziest because people were angry at me for being opposed to first degree murder.
00:39:23.540I mean, total madness, but that's not the, that's not the main thing.
00:39:28.960The main thing is that we have to, we have to take the right lessons from this.
00:39:33.580And this is why you don't join forces with the left and cheer on a murderer, because when you do that, you give them moral license to do exactly what they're doing in Los Angeles right now, or what they did during the summer of love in 2020, or, or dozens of other examples of politically motivated violence.
00:39:52.800After all, the whole argument in defense of Mangione wasn't that he, he's innocent of, of being a murderer.
00:40:01.780It's that, yes, he's obviously guilty, but it was for a good cause.
00:40:06.620It was first degree murder for a good cause, allegedly.
00:40:09.640While a first degree murder can be justified for a good cause, then any kind of violence can be justified for a cause that certain groups deem to be good.
00:40:24.520Yeah, because the Mangione case was, was never about healthcare.
00:40:29.020I mean, you got idiots who tried to make it about healthcare, but that was never the point.
00:40:32.320Um, you know, I didn't take a position against Mangione killing Brian Thompson, because I think that healthcare practices in this country are fair or always fair or always good.
00:41:07.400I mean, it's something you want to try to fix.
00:41:09.080I mean, it's never going to be perfect.
00:41:10.840People have a far too simplistic view of healthcare.
00:41:14.760Um, I think just demonizing the health insurance companies and leaving it at that is lazy and dumb.
00:41:23.100Um, sure, the health insurance companies can do unfair things and there's nothing wrong with pointing that out, but it's not nearly as simple as people make it out to be.
00:41:30.680Like, you know, acting like the health insurance companies are run by Darth Vader is, is silly.
00:41:36.020And it precludes any kind of nuanced conversation where we figure out how to actually improve healthcare in this country, which is not, which is not simple.
00:41:44.960It's like, it's a complicated thing to deal with.
00:41:48.540And, um, there are a lot of variables that people just don't take into account.
00:41:51.840But that's not what this story is about.
00:41:55.080Again, it's about law and order, plain and simple.
00:41:59.460I mean, I don't care how you feel about healthcare.
00:42:03.500I don't care how you feel about health insurance companies.
00:42:07.520We cannot have a society without law and order.
00:42:12.440Healthcare policies are irrelevant without law and order.
00:42:16.340You could have the greatest, most equitable health insurance plan in the world, and it will mean precisely nothing if a roving gang of thugs shoots you in the head and burns your house down.
00:42:25.760What good is the healthcare policy going to do at that, at that point?
00:43:25.060People who have no respect for the law will do whatever they want, think that they have a moral license to kill someone if they don't like them.
00:43:33.340If you have enough people like that, civilization's gone.
00:43:55.060You support the death of civilization.
00:43:57.700And if we are not trying to, at bottom, conserve civilization, then I don't, then I don't know what we're doing.
00:44:04.660I don't know what we're fighting for exactly.
00:44:06.280And we, we, you know, this latest example in Los Angeles should, it, this should not need to be a wake-up call for anyone.
00:44:17.340We've seen repeatedly over the last five years, prior to Luigi Mangione, we've seen many examples of what happens when you don't have law and order, when you start taking the side of, of lawless thugs.
00:44:30.740And yet, you still have people, ostensibly on the right, who made that mistake again.

00:46:27.680Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:46:36.380Olympic gymnast Simone Biles is a very gifted athlete, and she's also a bad person.
00:46:42.500This is not the first time that we've seen those two qualities combined in a person.
00:46:46.460LeBron James, another example, plenty of examples.
00:46:48.520But Simone Biles is an especially egregious case.
00:46:51.660The last time we heard from her, she was celebrating the first all-black podium at the Paris Olympics last year.
00:46:57.640After black gymnasts took home the gold, silver, and bronze, Simone bragged about the fact that it was a podium without any white people.
00:47:03.520So that was enough to tell us that, if we didn't already know, that she's a leftist clown.
00:47:08.240And three years before that, she infamously quit on her team in the middle of the Tokyo Olympics, citing her need to work on her mental health.
00:47:14.040And that was enough to tell us that she is a coward.
00:47:17.060Finally this week, she put it all together, mixing her cowardice with her leftism and sprinkling a little bit of a mean girl nastiness on top.
00:47:27.420Now to be clear, this was not a response to anything Riley Gaines had said to her.
00:47:55.520This was a totally random, unprovoked attack.
00:47:58.560And she followed it up three minutes later with this.
00:48:01.720Bully someone your own size, which would ironically be a male.
00:48:06.000Now, the great thing about this little jab is that it actually acknowledges the physical advantages that men have over women.
00:48:13.100It's also intensely hypocritical, as this bit of body shaming is coming from a woman who spent the last 10 years promoting body positivity.
00:48:21.320Here she is taking part in the Beauty is No Competition campaign.
00:48:25.920You can see the inspirational poster right there.
00:48:29.000And here she is talking about her own experiences being body shamed.
00:51:08.520You should be uplifting the trans community and perhaps finding a way to make sports inclusive or creating a new avenue where trans feel safe in sports.
00:51:49.440Simone doesn't even have the courage to advocate for her own position.
00:51:53.320I mean, if she believes that there should be a separate category for trans people in all sports or there should be some other kind of inclusive arrangement worked out, she is free to champion that cause.
00:52:02.640Instead, Simone Biles remains silent on the whole issue until this very moment.
00:52:07.840And when she finally speaks out, it's to condemn someone else for not promoting her own point of view.
00:52:14.440Simone says that Riley should uplift the trans community.
00:52:19.920I mean, if Simone thinks that the community should be uplifted, she could do that herself.
00:52:25.720Simone is clearly on the pro-trans team, but too afraid to enter the arena, which isn't a surprise, obviously.
00:52:31.180This woman is not a very reliable teammate, as we've seen.
00:52:34.080So it's difficult, therefore, to respond to Simone's argument when she hasn't really made any argument.
00:52:39.180Instead, she assigned arguments to Riley that she thinks Riley should make.
00:52:42.880But if we were to overlook that complication and offer a rebuttal anyway, we might note a few problems with Simone's position or what appears to be, what we assume is her position.
00:52:54.440First of all, a separate trans category in every sport, as Simone suggests, could only work if there were enough trans athletes in every sport to fill out their own league.
00:53:04.660But the pro-trans side will be the first to insist that there aren't that many trans athletes.
00:53:09.380In fact, they claim that there are hardly any at all.
00:53:12.560I mean, there are a significant number of trans-identified athletes in certain sports, but definitely not enough to make a trans league for every sport.
