00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, we're now being told that there's nothing to see here with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:00:04.280 No client list, no other culprits, and he did kill himself.
00:00:07.380 We'll sort through the latest on this story, and I'll explain why I don't buy the official narrative for even a second.
00:00:12.780 Also, bureaucrats weep and wail in the street as relatively minor layoffs hit the State Department.
00:00:17.020 A woke DA drops all charges against a registered sex offender who attempted to kidnap a child from a playground.
00:00:22.080 And Chip and Joanna Gaines produce a new show that features a gay couple with children.
00:00:26.000 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:30.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:00.000 Unalable rights to life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness.

00:01:06.840 GCU equips you to serve others in ways that promote human flourishing and create a ripple effect of transformation for generations to come.
00:01:13.280 By honoring your career calling, you impact your family, your friends, and your community.
00:01:17.400 Change the world for good by putting others before yourself to glorify God.
00:01:21.100 Whether your pursuit involves a bachelor's, master's, or doctoral degree, GCU's online, on-campus, and hybrid learning environments are designed to help you achieve your unique academic, personal, and professional goals.
00:01:31.240 With over 340 academic programs as of September 2024, GCU meets you where you are.
00:01:35.880 It provides a path to help you fulfill your dreams.
00:01:38.060 The pursuit to serve others is yours.
00:01:39.680 Let it flourish.
00:01:40.540 Find your purpose at Grand Canyon University.
00:01:42.820 Private, Christian, affordable.
00:01:44.020 Well, it was inevitable that after returning from a two-week vacation, I would discover that I had missed a lot of major news stories and outrage cycles.
00:01:54.740 That comes with the territory when you go offline for any significant period of time.
00:01:58.120 What I didn't expect was to come back and feel like someone who had been in a coma for the past five years, only to awaken and realize that the world is apparently a very, very different place than I thought it was and than I remember it being.
00:02:12.120 I didn't expect that some of the most basic facts that we all took for granted, things that no serious person would dispute, would suddenly become the stuff of, quote-unquote, conspiracy theories, all in the span of just 14 days or so.
00:02:24.540 But, indeed, more or less, that's what happened.
00:02:27.900 As I returned from vacation the other day, quite unexpectedly, I learned that Jeffrey Epstein was not, in fact, an international sex trafficker, even though he was arrested for being one and his closest associate was convicted for trafficking children.
00:02:42.240 I also learned that there is no Jeffrey Epstein client list, even though the attorney general said she had one on her desk.
00:02:47.540 Additionally, I discovered that Jeffrey Epstein did indeed kill himself, even though the video supposedly proving this point was edited multiple times and omits an entire minute for no apparent reason.
00:02:57.580 And furthermore, I learned that no prominent or powerful people were implicated in Jeffrey Epstein's underage trafficking operation in any way, even though dozens of them flew on his plane to his creepy sex island.
00:03:08.920 And on top of that, I was informed that the whole issue doesn't matter and that it's weird to care about any of this, and we should all just move on and discuss far more important topics, even though literally all of the people now saying that, saying that it doesn't matter, all agreed that it did matter as recently as two weeks ago.
00:03:25.420 Now, this is the kind of inexplicable and shameless pivot that the left historically specializes in, in service of their ideology, without even a hint of hesitation.
00:03:36.700 Leftists will eagerly denounce the very same facts and ideas that they were parroting just five seconds earlier, and they see no problem with it.
00:03:44.960 They'll tell you, for example, my body, my choice, and then turn around and destroy your life if you don't get an experimental shot.
00:03:50.740 They'll tell you Russia isn't a threat and that Mitt Romney needs to stop being so paranoid about Putin.
00:03:56.140 Then the moment Donald Trump wins an election, they'll insist that hackers in the Kremlin are capable of mind-controlling millions of voters.
00:04:03.040 They'll explain that only women can have opinions on abortion.
00:04:05.680 Then they'll tell you that actually, well, men and women are the same thing, and on and on and on.
00:04:10.420 Hypocrisy isn't really the right word for this kind of behavior.
00:04:13.660 That doesn't quite capture it.
00:04:15.040 This is zealotry.
00:04:16.740 This is people who are willing to suspend reality along with their own common sense because they believe it will benefit them politically.
00:04:24.900 So in order to remain a viable political movement and in order to appeal to sane voters who remain a slim majority in this country,
00:04:34.000 conservatives have to reject this mode of thought or lack thereof.
00:04:37.920 We cannot blindly follow commands that contradict everything we've been told and everything we've observed for many years.
00:04:46.580 Practically and morally and politically, it's wrong.
00:04:49.600 And yet, when it comes to Epstein, it has been people on the right engaging in this kind of behavior.
00:04:56.460 So let's talk about Epstein and what this administration has been saying about him and what they're saying now and what kind of sense we can make of all of this.
00:05:06.180 So let's go back to, to begin with, to February 21st, which you've probably seen this clip replayed, but we'll play it again,
00:05:14.480 in which the Attorney General, Pam Bondi, was asked directly about Epstein's client list.
00:05:20.100 Watch.
00:05:21.160 I saw your appearance at CPAC with Ben and with Ted Cruz.
00:05:24.640 And one of the things that you alluded to, and this is something Donald Trump has talked about,
00:05:29.400 the DOJ may be releasing the list of Jeffrey Epstein's clients.
00:05:33.580 Will that really happen?
00:05:35.080 It's sitting on my desk right now to review.
00:05:38.220 That's been a directive by President Trump.
00:05:40.920 I'm reviewing that.
00:05:41.740 I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files.
00:05:44.700 That's all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies.
00:05:50.240 So have you seen anything that you said, oh, my gosh?
00:05:54.320 Not yet.
00:05:56.260 OK, well, we'll check back with you.
00:05:58.540 It's sitting on her desk right now.
00:06:00.640 What's sitting on her desk?
00:06:03.200 Well, the Epstein client list.
00:06:05.320 She says that specifically.
00:06:07.700 She does not say that this list might be out there somewhere.
00:06:11.200 She doesn't say that she's still looking for the list.
00:06:14.280 She doesn't say that she sent Indiana Jones out on a mission to find the list deep in a cave in the jungle somewhere.
00:06:19.380 No, she says it is sitting on her desk at that present moment in February of this year.
00:06:26.220 Now, less than a week later, on February 26th, Bondi was back on Fox.
00:06:30.940 And this time she was there to explain that she was about to release flight logs and other information about Epstein.
00:06:37.100 She also said that Epstein had hundreds of victims, that the DOJ has been slow to release information only because it wants to protect the privacy of those victims.
00:06:46.140 A lot of people are wondering, because you said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk.
00:06:52.000 When can we see them and what's taking so long to release them?
00:06:55.120 I do.
00:06:56.360 Jesse, there are well over, this will make you sick, 200 victims.
00:07:03.040 200.
00:07:04.100 So we have well over, over 250 actually.
00:07:07.480 So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information.
00:07:14.940 But other than that, I think tomorrow, you know, the personal information of victims.
00:07:19.020 Other than that, I think tomorrow, Jesse, breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office.
00:07:27.520 What kind?
00:07:28.840 Are we going to see who was on the flights?
00:07:31.540 Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded?
00:07:34.820 Because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices.
00:07:38.760 What you're going to see hopefully tomorrow is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information.
00:07:46.820 But it's, it's pretty sick what that man did.
00:07:51.500 Okay.
00:07:52.160 Well, along with his co-defendant.
00:07:54.220 Absolutely.
00:07:54.900 And he had help.
00:07:55.880 That's for sure.
00:07:56.520 He sure did.
00:07:56.920 So tomorrow, tomorrow, she says, you're going to see a lot of names, names tomorrow, along with lots of other information.
00:08:07.920 But, you know, that was back in February and tomorrow has long since come and gone from the perspective of February.
00:08:15.780 So what happened with all those names that she explicitly on camera promised?
00:08:22.140 Well, nothing.
00:08:23.600 There were no names released.
00:08:25.100 There have never been any names released related to Jeffrey Epstein, except Jelaine Maxwell.
00:08:33.860 Instead, several influencers, as you may recall, were invited to the White House and handed large binders entitled The Epstein Files Phase One.
00:08:44.560 And they had reporters ready outside, ready to take pictures of the influencers triumphantly emerging from the White House, holding the binders as they exited.
00:08:53.380 It was obviously a coordinated stunt.
00:08:55.980 They made a big show of releasing the files, or at least phase one of the files.
00:09:01.560 But within a few hours, it became clear that the binders didn't contain any new information at all.
00:09:05.660 Everything in the binders had been published before.
00:09:08.700 So they didn't actually release anything.
00:09:11.000 And this development posed an obvious problem for Pam Bondi's credibility.
00:09:15.640 She had not told Jesse Waters that the DOJ was about to release old information that everyone already had access to.
00:09:23.900 She had not promised to repackage previously released documents in a fancy new binder.
00:09:29.280 I didn't hear that part of her Jesse Waters interview.
00:09:32.280 Did you?
00:09:33.200 Did you hear her say, well, you know, Jesse, we actually don't have any new information about Epstein.
00:09:37.460 But what we do have are some fun new binders.
00:09:40.820 No, instead, she said that she had breaking news that would make people sick.
00:09:46.140 And she specifically told John Roberts and the audience at CPAC that the information related to the names of Epstein's clients.
00:09:55.540 But none of that materialized.
00:09:57.700 So instead, on February 28th, Bondi sent a letter to the FBI, the FBI director, Kash Patel.
00:10:03.460 Put that up on the screen there.
00:10:05.060 And essentially, Bondi claimed that the FBI had thousands more documents in its possession.
00:10:09.900 She demanded the FBI turn over those documents.
00:10:12.180 And then in early March, the head of the FBI's New York field office was forced to resign after Bondi accused him of withholding the documents.
00:10:20.360 But around the same time, she said that the FBI had finally produced the documents.
00:10:24.700 And here's what she told Sean Hannity on March 3rd.
00:10:27.520 Quote, I gave the FBI a deadline of Friday at 8 a.m. to get us everything.
00:10:32.380 And a source has told me that told me where the documents were being kept.
00:10:37.000 Southern District of New York.
00:10:38.480 So we got them all by Friday at 8 a.m.
00:10:41.420 Thousands of pages of documents.
00:10:42.860 I have the FBI going through them.
00:10:44.640 And Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all those documents.
00:10:49.180 Close quote.
00:10:50.640 For the next several weeks, Bondi would repeat variations of this statement.
00:10:54.020 She would claim over and over again that the DOJ had received truckloads of new documents.
00:10:59.200 She also said the DOJ possessed, quote, tens of thousands of videos involving Epstein.
00:11:03.420 Videos that were never referenced in any of the previous Epstein cases.
00:11:07.480 At a minimum, after all of this, you would expect some form of accounting from the Attorney General and the DOJ about what exactly is contained within these truckloads of documents.
00:11:19.760 And given that tens of thousands of videos are involved, and Epstein was clearly involved in sex trafficking, which is why he was in prison in the first place, presumably a lot of people are implicated in these videos.
00:11:33.700 A lot of other people, aside from Epstein himself.
00:11:37.680 It's especially true since Bondi was explicitly asked about a client list and stated directly that the list existed and she had it in her possession.
00:11:49.760 But instead of any explanation whatsoever, instead of any form of transparency to make sense of all of this, we instead got a memo from the DOJ and the FBI explaining that, this was last week, explaining that after reviewing all the new information, there actually was no new information.
00:12:07.100 There was no client list.
00:12:08.500 No one else is implicated.
00:12:10.660 Epstein did kill himself.
00:12:12.620 And there's nothing else to report on the subject.
00:12:15.020 That's it.
00:12:15.820 It's over.
00:12:16.320 And then we were treated to this performance in the White House.
00:12:20.400 Watch.
00:12:21.320 Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein?
00:12:24.140 This guy's been talked about for years.
00:12:26.620 You're asking, we have Texas, we have this, we have all of the things.
00:12:31.620 And are people still talking about this guy, this creep?
00:12:35.600 That is unbelievable.
00:12:38.500 Do you want to waste the time?
00:12:39.780 Do you feel like answering?
00:12:41.180 I don't mind answering.
00:12:42.320 I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this, where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas.
00:12:52.840 It just seems like a desecration.
00:12:55.860 But you go ahead.
00:12:57.320 Sure.
00:12:57.660 Sure.
00:12:58.080 First, to back up on that, in February, I did an interview on Fox.
00:13:01.880 And it's been getting a lot of attention because I said, I was asked a question about the client list.
00:13:08.760 And my response was, it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file along with the JFK, MLK files as well.
00:13:20.600 That's what I meant by that.
00:13:21.820 Also, to the tens of thousands of video, they turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein.
00:13:30.240 Child porn is what they were.
00:13:31.860 Never going to be released.
00:13:33.120 Never going to see the light of day.
00:13:34.940 To him being an agent, I have no knowledge about that.
00:13:38.060 We can get back to you on that.
00:13:39.640 And the minute missing from the video, we released the video showing definitively, the video was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide.
00:13:56.360 And what was on that, there was a minute that was off the counter.
00:13:59.160 And what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year, every night, they redo that video is old from like 1999.
00:14:07.600 So every night the video is reset and every night should have the same minute missing.
00:14:13.360 So we're looking for that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night.
00:14:18.000 And that's it on Epstein.
00:14:19.420 There's simply no getting around the massive crater-like hole that the administration dug for itself here.
00:14:29.980 Let's assume that everything Pam Bondi says in that clip is true, which I don't believe it is.
00:14:35.240 She still hasn't explained why the DOJ released phase one of the Epstein files, implying that there are more coming.
00:14:43.880 Phase one means there's a phase two, at least.
00:14:47.580 And keep in mind, that was before she allegedly discovered that the FBI was hiding truckloads of additional documents.
00:14:55.020 They had already contemplated a phase two, and then they got a truckload of more documents.
00:14:59.520 And instead of getting a phase two, we're told that, oh no, phase one was it.
00:15:05.100 So what's going on here?
00:15:06.160 What's in those phase two documents that we were promised?
00:15:10.360 And more to the point, how exactly is it remotely plausible
00:15:13.660 that Jeffrey Epstein could have possessed tens of thousands of explicit videos
00:15:18.040 without implicating a single other individual?
00:15:22.400 Now, here's what the DOJ could do right now.
00:15:25.520 They could unseal all of the relevant search warrants and affidavits for the raids and Epstein's properties.
00:15:30.940 They could unseal and unredact all of Epstein's financial disclosures.
00:15:34.640 They could also explain document by document what was in those truckloads of files they just recovered at the FBI.
00:15:41.400 Even if it's irrelevant, they can explain why it's irrelevant.
00:15:45.580 They could at least do that to begin with.
00:15:48.380 And instead, they're not doing any of it.
00:15:49.740 They're just telling us to shut up, essentially.
00:15:52.620 And it's not a particularly convincing effort.
00:15:55.440 At the end of that clip, Bondi didn't even respond when she was asked whether Epstein was an intelligence asset.
00:16:00.300 She said that she would have to get back to us on that.
00:16:04.080 This has been the go-to response to bury this question in Washington for many years.
00:16:08.700 It's been the go-to response about everything Epstein-related.
00:16:11.480 Oh, we'll get back to you on that.
00:16:12.720 Oh, we'll get back.
00:16:13.660 Yeah, oh, yeah.
00:16:14.440 We'll let you know.
00:16:17.440 Rather than say yes or no, they evade in the most suspicious and incriminating way possible.
00:16:21.940 And back during the first Trump administration, Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney who handled the Epstein case,
00:16:27.240 basically did the same thing.
00:16:28.380 Instead of addressing the question directly, he stalled, which, of course, basically confirms that, indeed,
00:16:33.480 it is true that, as the Daily Beast first reported, Epstein, quote, belonged to intelligence.
00:16:39.160 Watch.
00:16:40.200 One more question.
00:16:41.760 Richard Lardner from the Associated Press.
00:16:44.020 Mr. Secretary, were you ever made aware at any point in your handling of this case
00:16:48.040 if Mr. Epstein was an intelligence asset of some sort?
00:16:51.380 So there has been reporting to that effect.
00:16:57.720 And let me say, there's been reporting to a lot of effects in this case, not just now but over the years.
00:17:05.440 And, again, I would, you know, I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact.
00:17:14.800 This was a case that was brought by our office.
00:17:17.540 It was brought based on the facts.
00:17:20.200 And I look at that reporting and others.
00:17:22.460 I can't address it directly because of our guidelines.
00:17:26.580 But I can tell you that a lot of reporting is just going down rabbit holes.
00:17:32.780 A few more questions.
00:17:34.440 So, look, there are, I'm afraid, only two possible scenarios to make sense of all of this.
00:17:42.800 And as a Trump supporter myself and a big fan of much of what this president has done so far this term,
00:17:48.500 I don't relish having to say this, but I will always shoot you straight and tell you exactly what I think.
00:17:55.340 So here are the two and only two options.
00:17:59.380 And, unfortunately, there just is no option that allows you to just, you know, vindicate the Trump administration entirely and say,
00:18:09.320 well, there's no funny business going on here.
00:18:11.480 That option doesn't exist right now.
00:18:15.120 So option one is that the Trump administration played into the Epstein, quote-unquote, conspiracy theories,
00:18:21.760 knowing they were false until the moment when it no longer benefited them to do so.
00:18:26.520 They were drumming up Epstein conspiracies before the election.
00:18:29.640 And then once they took power, they didn't know what to do.
00:18:32.400 So they lied about having possession of a client list, knowing they actually didn't have possession of it,
00:18:37.400 strung everybody along for a while until they finally dropped the pretense.
00:18:40.380 That's one option.
00:18:42.220 Okay, that's one theory of the case.
00:18:45.340 The second is that the, quote-unquote, conspiracy theories are true.
00:18:49.560 And now this administration is, for one reason or another, participating in the cover-up.
00:18:56.780 There is no door number three here because the attorney general is on the record saying, I have the client list.
00:19:07.660 So those are the only two ways to make sense of that.
00:19:12.080 Those are the two possibilities.
00:19:15.140 Again, I don't enjoy it.
00:19:17.660 It doesn't make me happy.
00:19:19.160 I wish I don't relish this.
00:19:20.400 It's just the way it is.
00:19:23.320 And it's not a good situation either way.
00:19:26.140 And either way, Pam Bondi needs to go at a minimum.
00:19:29.020 She either lied and said she had the client list on her desk when she didn't, or she's lying now and saying she doesn't have the list when she does.
00:19:38.180 Again, there's no third option.
00:19:40.300 She's lying either way.
00:19:41.980 You can't get around it.
00:19:43.780 And we can't have an attorney general who lies to us about something as important as this.
00:19:47.700 Now, personally, I don't know the full truth about Epstein, and now I seriously doubt that any of us will ever know.
00:19:58.640 But I do certainly believe that he was a global sex trafficker with high-profile clientele.
00:20:04.920 I mean, that was pretty much unanimously agreed upon until 10 seconds ago by everybody.
00:20:11.100 It's also the reason he went to prison.
00:20:13.080 It's why Maxwell is currently in prison.
00:20:14.960 I also don't for a second believe that he killed himself.
00:20:20.600 And an apparently edited surveillance video from outside of the prison cell is not nearly enough to convince me otherwise.
00:20:28.440 It shouldn't be enough to convince anyone of anything.
00:20:32.200 Okay, they put a video out that is not evidence of anything.
00:20:35.200 Now, at the moment, if we're going to get any transparency, it's probably not coming from Pam Bondi's DOJ.
00:20:45.360 Instead, it's likely to come from Epstein's closest associate, convicted child sex trafficker, Jelaine Maxwell.
00:20:50.900 Late last night, the Daily Mail reported, quote,
00:20:52.720 Now, of course, we have no idea what information.
00:20:57.720 Now, of course, we have no idea what information, if any, this sociopath, this evil woman will ultimately reveal.
00:21:26.660 But the fact remains that, especially after the humiliating display by Bondi and the DOJ, we've all just witnessed, it's probably worth listening to Maxwell's testimony.
00:21:35.940 If a client list exists at this point, she's the most likely person to tell us.
00:21:40.280 Now, yes, it's an indictment of Pam Bondi and the DOJ that we see any reason to listen to a ghoul like this.
00:21:46.740 But that's where we are.
00:21:49.400 Millions of Americans are not satisfied with what we've been told.
00:21:52.720 And we shouldn't be because it's been contradictory and insulting to our intelligence every step of the way.
00:21:58.480 So now we're looking elsewhere.
00:21:59.580 This is what happens when people are deceived and strung along for years, only to be told that they're not entitled to any kind of transparency whatsoever.
00:22:09.840 People are not just going to move on with their lives, no matter how badly you want them to.
00:22:15.740 And there's a reason for that.
00:22:18.180 And I want to make this very clear to those on the right, including the president himself, who are telling us to just drop the subject and move on.
00:22:29.580 We can't drop it.
00:22:31.260 We can't move on.
00:22:33.340 Because what we want is justice.
00:22:37.260 We have a deep desire for justice.
00:22:41.040 And we can see how the corrupt and the powerful are never held accountable.
00:22:46.200 We can look at our cities and see violent criminals running rampant in the streets, also not held accountable.
00:22:52.740 We want these evildoers to be punished.
00:22:56.420 We want the innocent to be defended.
00:22:59.580 We want justice.
00:23:01.300 It's one of the most basic and most honorable of all human desires.
00:23:05.600 We want to see that justice is done.
00:23:08.060 We want to know who else was in those awful videos that Pam Bondi told us about.
00:23:12.740 And we want those people to be dragged in front of us, weeping and begging for mercy.
00:23:18.580 We want them exposed and humiliated and shamed and punished in the harshest and most painful way.
00:23:25.740 Because that's justice.
00:23:28.520 And we're not going to drop the subject until we get it.
00:23:31.240 So unseal everything, including the search warrants and the financial disclosures.
00:23:36.060 Tell us what exactly was in those truckloads of documents that you recovered in New York.
00:23:40.840 Show us the phase two Epstein files that you told us about just a few months ago.
00:23:45.380 In other words, don't give us any more excuses from bureaucrats on Fox News.
00:23:51.180 Don't give us any more stonewalling and doublespeak.
00:23:54.820 We've seen more than enough of that in this case and so many others.
00:24:00.240 Instead, for a change, give us something we're not used to seeing from the federal government and the DOJ.
00:24:07.140 Give us justice.
00:24:10.400 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:24:17.440 You know what's fascinating?

00:25:23.880 You know, I was shocked to learn that the liver is actually the second largest organ in your body
00:25:28.900 and handles over 500 different functions that we barely even think about it.
00:25:32.920 Here's the thing, though.
00:25:33.640 Over 30% of Americans have a sluggish liver, and most of us don't even know until it's too late.

00:26:37.800 All right.
00:26:38.000 The New York Post reports the State Department on Friday began terminating more than 1,300 positions
00:26:42.960 as part of the Trump administration's effort to trim the size of the federal workforce.
00:26:46.540 The layoffs will affect 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with assignments in the U.S.
00:26:54.040 Employees began receiving termination notices in the morning, informing them that their positions were being abolished.
00:27:00.440 And by afternoon, several laid-off staffers were spotted tearfully departing the State Department's headquarters.
00:27:04.580 They were met by a crowd of clapping supporters outside the Harris Truman Building near the White House.
00:27:11.300 And this is all part of the cuts.
00:27:13.440 Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the cuts will make the diplomatic department more efficient and more focused.
00:27:18.660 Now, you know, there isn't much of a story here.
00:27:21.140 Well, there's a good story.
00:27:22.140 There's good news.
00:27:23.700 Bureaucrats at the State Department are getting laid off.
00:27:25.600 That's great.
00:27:26.120 Great news.
00:27:27.920 A little disappointing because I'd prefer that, rather than lay them off, that they would all be escorted into a giant SpaceX rocket
00:27:37.000 and launched directly into outer space.
00:27:39.760 So that's what, I mean, that's the policy I would prefer, but I'll take the layoffs if that's all we can get.
00:27:45.100 So it is good news.
00:27:46.960 But not much more to say about it than that, you would think.
00:27:49.500 That is until you see the hysterics, the performance from these bureaucrats who did not take the layoffs with poise and dignity.
00:27:59.700 They did not comport themselves in an honorable and respectable way, of course.
00:28:04.280 Instead, they treated this like a national catastrophe, a catastrophe of, indeed, global proportions.
00:28:12.880 So Reuters was on the scene.
00:28:15.480 The whole media was there for this whole scene.
00:28:17.860 And, of course, the media also, as part of this, treating it like this disaster, this great tragedy.
00:28:22.980 And let's watch some of the footage of these State Department workers as they're leaving the building, distraught.
00:28:29.600 Here it is.
00:28:30.100 Thank you.
00:28:33.840 That's why.
00:28:34.840 That's why.
00:28:37.720 Thank you.
00:28:38.980 Thank you.
00:28:39.760 This is also self-sabotage, pulling people back from the front lines when we're really making the most.
00:28:54.460 Now that we have the tensions in the Middle East, ascendants, China, and aggressive Russia.
00:29:01.020 What are we doing calling back the people who know how to deal with these tensions in the world?
00:29:06.440 And to those that have been riffed, to those that have been fired today, I just want to say I'm sorry.
00:29:14.120 So they're shaking, they're crying, they're clapping for themselves, they're giving speeches into megaphones.
00:29:22.600 You know, that's the whole scene.
00:29:23.520 I mean, just look at this picture.
00:29:24.680 This is from the New York Post article that I just read from, and this is the top picture.
00:29:29.040 And you have two people embracing, a woman breaking down in tears, inconsolable.
00:29:38.320 This is not someone with one dignified tear streaming down the cheek, not that any tear can be dignified.
00:29:44.280 But this is not someone with just one tear.
00:29:45.580 This is full-on hysterical crying, and she's being embraced by this other guy.
00:29:52.960 Now you look at that picture.
00:29:54.160 Take out the people that are clapping in the background and focus on just this sad sight in the foreground.
00:30:05.380 And if you look at that, it literally looks like a scene outside of a school shooting, right?
00:30:12.820 I'm not even trying to be funny.
00:30:14.300 If I showed you those two people and I asked you to guess what was going on here,
00:30:20.440 you would guess that there was a school shooting and that this is the scene in the parking lot.
00:30:25.140 I mean, we've seen scenes just like that, like almost that exact photo we've seen,
00:30:29.960 unfortunately, countless times in the parking lots of schools when there's a school shooting.
00:30:35.580 And so the point is, you would think that something horrifically tragic had happened.
00:30:40.320 You would think that people died.
00:30:42.600 Children died.
00:30:43.360 And instead, what actually happened is that a few bureaucrats lost their job.
00:30:48.360 And yes, it is a few.
00:30:50.640 Because 1,300 as a total, well, that's out of 80,000 State Department employees.
00:30:55.660 So that's what?
00:30:56.340 Like 1% or 2% of the workforce.
00:31:00.780 Now, layoffs like this happen every day in the private sector.
00:31:07.280 Okay, companies will wipe out 5%, 10%, 20% of their workforce.
00:31:15.220 And when that happens, you never see any of these theatrics.
00:31:21.600 Nobody's breaking down in tears in the street.
00:31:23.600 There's no line of people applauding them.
00:31:25.280 There's no speeches in the megaphones.
00:31:26.980 There's no outraged headlines.
00:31:29.880 I mean, rarely are there any outraged headlines.
00:31:31.700 There's Reuters is not on the scene filming everything.
00:31:33.840 But you only get this when government employees are let go.
00:31:40.900 Which, of course, is an argument for letting more of them go.
00:31:44.100 Because these people are useless, self-important, self-aggrandizing, self-pitying, obnoxious.
00:31:51.760 And we need to fire away more of them.
00:31:55.420 And by the way, if you work in the government, if you work in the federal government,
00:31:58.360 and you wonder why people hate you so much, well, this is why.
00:32:03.840 Okay, it's this exact thing that I just explained.
00:32:08.280 Okay, it's that people get, there are layoffs in the private sector every single day,
00:32:12.380 and you don't care about them.
00:32:15.100 Right?
00:32:15.560 You're not weeping over that.
00:32:17.700 You're not expecting anyone to weep over it.
00:32:19.420 It's only when you get let go, you expect the entire country to stop and mourn
00:32:25.060 and put the flags at half-mast and treat it like there was a hurricane, right?
00:32:29.780 And 600 people died.
00:32:33.120 Okay, that's why people hate you.
00:32:35.380 It's for that reason.
00:32:38.140 And the fact that you're listening to me right now and still going,
00:32:40.440 well, what's the problem?
00:32:41.360 I don't get it.
00:32:42.000 Yeah, well, right.
00:32:43.160 But why is that?
00:32:43.780 Yes, exactly that.
00:32:47.740 That you actually think that you are, that you're in this different class
00:32:54.540 and that you're entitled to your job, that you have a right to it,
00:32:59.220 and that, like, the well-being of the entire globe rests on your shoulders,
00:33:04.620 that you think that.
00:33:05.240 When in reality, the vast majority of you who work in the federal government
00:33:10.000 are useless, are totally useless.
00:33:14.380 You could evaporate.
00:33:16.660 You could be whisked away.
00:33:19.200 You could be raptured up.
00:33:21.200 You could disappear, right?
00:33:25.340 80% of you, and no one would ever notice.
00:33:29.280 So that's the reality.
00:33:30.880 And that's why people can't stand you.
00:33:32.740 So, and I haven't even, we haven't even gotten to the best part yet.
00:33:35.520 So here's what the inside of the building looked like
00:33:37.800 when this was all happening.
00:33:39.580 Check this out.
00:33:40.220 You can see employees put up these little notes, these posters,
00:33:44.820 as a tribute to their fallen comrades.
00:33:49.240 And the notes say, thank you for your service.
00:33:51.220 Your work left an impact.
00:33:54.140 But it appears that the posters were written in crayon.
00:33:58.320 Each letter is a different color.
00:34:02.740 It's taped to the wall.
00:34:04.500 And as many people have pointed out on social media,
00:34:06.440 this looks like a preschool.
00:34:07.680 This looks like, this is the kind of thing you would expect to see
00:34:10.580 in a kindergarten classroom.
00:34:12.620 This is what you expect to see on the walls
00:34:14.460 when they do a stupid kindergarten graduation.
00:34:17.700 Because these days there's a graduation ceremony for every grade.
00:34:20.920 So this is what you expect to see, right?
00:34:23.740 We'll miss you.
00:34:25.080 Great job.
00:34:25.940 It's like all the kids did all year was take naps and play with Play-Doh.
00:34:30.820 Which is also basically what State Department employees are doing.
00:34:33.860 They're taking naps and playing with Play-Doh.
00:34:35.240 I mean, effectively.
00:34:37.580 And so some grown adult,
00:34:39.280 a person on a tax-funded salary,
00:34:41.840 sat down with colored pencils
00:34:43.520 and a poster board
00:34:45.740 and wrote these messages
00:34:47.200 using a different color for each letter.
00:34:49.600 I don't know why.
00:34:50.080 Like that detail in particular
00:34:52.040 is, is just sticks out to me.
00:34:55.160 There's something about,
00:34:56.060 that seems small, but
00:34:57.160 because that's what a child does.
00:34:59.600 That is what,
00:35:00.620 if my five-year-old daughter sat down to make a poster,
00:35:03.000 that's what she would do.
00:35:03.960 She would, she's like,
00:35:04.920 that's how you make the poster pretty
00:35:06.620 if you're a five-year-old girl.
00:35:08.160 Is every, every letter,
00:35:10.280 look, daddy, every letter is a different color.
00:35:13.360 And this was like a 47-year-old woman,
00:35:16.100 right?
00:35:17.480 Who's been on a tax-funded salary for 25 years.
00:35:20.240 And that's what she was doing with her time.
00:35:23.540 It's, it's humiliating.
00:35:24.940 So we have a government overrun by egomaniacs
00:35:27.700 who have the maturity and intelligence of children.
00:35:29.860 And, and so that's what it tells me.
00:35:32.360 And that's why so many more need to be fired.
00:35:34.860 And it's why, it's why, you know,
00:35:37.120 I generally am not happy to see people lose their jobs.
00:35:39.780 But in this case, yeah, I'm happy.
00:35:41.320 I am so happy.
00:35:42.640 You deserve to lose your jobs.
00:35:44.120 You are useless.
00:35:45.520 You are leeches.
00:35:46.880 You're parasites.
00:35:47.600 Who have just been bilking this country
00:35:51.220 of billions of dollars every single year,
00:35:54.040 contributing absolutely nothing.
00:35:56.060 And so you deserve your lose jobs.
00:35:57.480 I'm very happy that you did.
00:35:58.340 All right.
00:36:01.720 Here's a, here's another story for her.
00:36:04.220 There's a, and there's an image that goes along with it.
00:36:06.160 There's another image.
00:36:07.200 I'll show you the image in a moment,
00:36:08.500 but here's the Fox News report.
00:36:10.440 It says prosecutors in Colorado planned to drop charges against a registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a child from an elementary school because he was found incompetent to stand trial.
00:36:22.860 The 18th district, uh, 18th judicial district attorney's office, which covers, uh, Arapahoe County includes Aurora and Littleton informed Fox 31 on Friday that intends to dismiss charges against Solomon Galligan.
00:36:34.140 The 33 year old faces one count of attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to take an 11 year old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills elementary school in April of 2024.
00:36:44.980 Um, Aurora police previously reported that Galligan is a registered sex offender.
00:36:49.400 And, uh, he went under when a mental competency evaluation that determined he was unfit to stand trial as a result, prosecutors claim they have no choice, but to drop the charges.
00:37:02.940 Okay.
00:37:03.420 So this is a registered sex offender who attempted to abduct a child, which that is not in dispute, by the way, that's on video.
00:37:11.600 There's actually surveillance video of this, this guy walking up and trying to take a child.
00:37:16.060 So it's, there's no, it's, there's the fact that it happened is beyond dispute, but charges are being dropped.
00:37:26.380 Meaning that this guy will be released back into society, zero punishment, zero consequences.
00:37:33.040 Okay.
00:37:33.640 Now here's the picture.
00:37:34.820 Um, and you're, you're already expecting, this is a guy, a registered sex offender, try to kidnap a child.
00:37:41.120 Um, this is, you know, probably going to look like a pretty disturbing individual.
00:37:47.680 Uh, but you don't even know the half of it until you see the picture.
00:37:51.060 And this was posted by right angle news network on X.
00:37:53.940 Here it is.
00:37:55.600 So you see there on the left, uh, the district attorney, Amy Patton.
00:37:59.500 So of course it's a liberal female DA.
00:38:01.980 And then, um, not, not exactly the greatest thing to look at herself, but, and then on the left you have, uh, or, or I suppose on the, on the right, from our perspective, you have the, um, you have the walking dead.
00:38:18.260 You have what appears to be a zombie in an advanced state of decomposition.
00:38:24.700 Like this is the zombie that shows up in the zombie movie five years after the outbreak.
00:38:31.020 This is like five or 10 years late.
00:38:32.660 This is the, no, this is like a zombie TV series.
00:38:34.540 This is, this is season four, right?
00:38:37.240 Where the zombies are mostly decomposed.
00:38:39.980 And that's this person.
00:38:43.020 This is a creature from a horror film, except this is real life.
00:38:48.560 And this is a registered sex offender invading school property to abduct a child.
00:38:52.580 Now, obviously, um, it should be obvious that anyone who kidnaps or attempts to kidnap a child or commits any other kind of violent or sexual crime against a child should simply be executed.
00:39:08.760 They should be charged.
00:39:09.780 They should be convicted in a court of law and then lawfully executed for their crimes.
00:39:15.380 Every single person convicted of any crime like this, whether the crime was attempted or successfully completed, either way, they should all just be executed.
00:39:26.000 And, uh, these are people that should not be walking around on the planet anymore.
00:39:29.020 They don't deserve to be.
00:39:30.620 And justice and common sense calls for them to be removed from the earth permanently.
00:39:35.720 Should we make an exception for the mentally incompetent?
00:39:40.460 No, that is insane.
00:39:44.340 The whole mentally incompetent thing makes no sense.
00:39:48.880 It is incoherent.
00:39:50.620 As I've argued many times, like, first of all, by definition, anyone who would kidnap a child is not, by the standards of normal people, mentally competent.
00:40:03.420 Anyone who would commit a violent crime against a child is sick in the head, by definition.
00:40:09.680 No normal, mentally fit, well-adjusted person would ever do that.
00:40:14.800 That's not something that a mentally fit person would do.
00:40:17.200 So the whole thing where we take someone who committed this kind of crime and we, well, we got to get them, we got to get them psychoanalyzed.
00:40:23.700 We got to get them, uh, we, we, we have to, we have to get them tested to see if they're mentally fit.
00:40:27.960 What do you mean mentally fit?
00:40:29.720 Like, what is that?
00:40:30.760 I don't know what that means exactly, but if you have just a normal definition of mental fitness, no, of course they're not.
00:40:37.760 But we don't need any test.
00:40:39.660 We have them on camera trying to abduct a child from a, from a playground.
00:40:43.480 So, yeah, we already know that they're not.
00:40:45.920 So should we just release all child predators back into society?
00:40:50.560 Can you find one single child predator in prison right now who has what you would call a healthy mental state?
00:40:57.960 Can you go and find a single child predator who would, you would consider to be a, a picture of perfect mental health?
00:41:08.500 Of course not.
00:41:10.200 Again, by definition.
00:41:11.400 So either we should release all of them from prison on that basis, or we can do the sane and just and reasonable thing and remove all of them from society after they've been convicted of their crimes.
00:41:24.420 The argument for releasing someone because they're mentally incompetent is that, well, you know, they didn't understand that what they were doing was wrong.
00:41:34.920 They didn't understand.
00:41:36.600 Now, I don't buy that, first of all.
00:41:39.480 I never buy that in these cases where, oh, they didn't, they didn't know what they were doing.
00:41:44.520 They didn't.
00:41:44.880 Yeah.
00:41:45.020 This guy ran away.
00:41:48.160 He tried to evade the police.
00:41:51.360 If he didn't know what was wrong, why did he run?
00:41:54.720 That's the funny thing about all these criminals were always told by the courts.
00:41:57.380 Oh, well, they didn't understand.
00:41:58.380 They didn't know what, like they always run.
00:42:00.560 They always fight the cops.
00:42:01.700 If he really didn't know that it was wrong, then what should have happened is that he should have just been hanging out on the playground until the cops came.
00:42:11.500 And then when they approached him, he should have said, oh, are you looking for me?
00:42:16.560 Yeah, I tried to kidnap a child.
00:42:17.800 What about it?
00:42:19.460 Wait, what?
00:42:20.220 Oh, we're not allowed.
00:42:21.740 Really?
00:42:22.160 That's wrong?
00:42:22.660 I didn't know.
00:42:24.020 I had no clue.
00:42:25.140 Oh, you're not allowed to do that?
00:42:27.160 That's what would have happened if he honestly didn't know that you're not supposed to do that.
00:42:33.500 But that never happens with these allegedly incompetent criminals who supposedly don't know what they're doing.
00:42:38.200 They always run.
00:42:39.500 It's the same thing.
00:42:40.680 They always try to get away with the crime.
00:42:42.320 They try to get away with it clumsily or unconvincingly, right, because these are stupid people.
00:42:49.220 But they know what they're doing is wrong.
00:42:51.360 They clearly know.
00:42:52.200 But regardless, also, who cares?
00:42:57.840 Even if, oh, he didn't know.
00:42:59.740 Well, okay.
00:43:02.160 Like, that's all the more reason to remove him from society if he really didn't know.
00:43:07.440 If you're telling me that they are so mentally incompetent that they can't stop themselves from committing unspeakable crimes,
00:43:15.180 and they don't even understand that committing those crimes is wrong,
00:43:20.040 then that's all the more reason to remove them from society forever, permanently.
00:43:27.440 Okay?
00:43:27.980 I know that that's a very, that's a, these days, to say that is really, that makes people very upset.
00:43:33.440 It's a very scandalous notion.
00:43:34.720 Are you saying we should execute people who are mentally, yes!
00:43:39.880 Yes, if they're, yes, if they're a danger to children, if they're sex predators, if they're child predators, yes, absolutely we should.
00:43:50.640 Because whatever you're, like, evil is evil.
00:43:53.420 Okay, first of all, the idea that, well, he's evil, but he's also really stupid, and so we shouldn't hold him accountable for being evil.
00:44:00.740 What?
00:44:02.160 Why?
00:44:02.600 Why?
00:44:03.280 Why shouldn't we?
00:44:05.700 Since when is being really stupid a, you know, an excuse for committing acts of evil?
00:44:14.280 Have you noticed that there are a lot of really stupid people who don't do that?
00:44:18.140 There are a lot of really stupid, low IQ people, mentally deficient people, who don't go around trying to kidnap kids.
00:44:25.180 Did you notice that?
00:44:27.700 So, how do you explain that?
00:44:29.660 How do you, how do we explain the fact that there are all, there are, like, millions of mentally deficient people who are not a danger to kids?
00:44:38.580 And there are some who are.
00:44:41.000 How do you explain it?
00:44:41.860 Well, because the ones who are, are evil.
00:44:44.400 We explain it the same way we explain smart people.
00:44:47.480 There are smart people who are dangerous to society and smart people who aren't.
00:44:50.500 How do you explain that?
00:44:53.900 Well, because the ones who are, are evil and should be held accountable for it.
00:44:57.240 I don't care what your IQ is.
00:44:58.520 And even aside from any of that, all you're telling me is that this is someone who cannot be rehabilitated.
00:45:05.480 Cannot be.
00:45:08.100 And, you know, in the old days, there was no, like, up until relatively recently, there was no, oh, we got to do an IQ test.
00:45:16.840 We got to get psychoanalyzed.
00:45:17.840 We got to get the therapists and psychologists in here.
00:45:20.660 Up until very recently, it was, oh, you committed a violent, heinous crime against a child.
00:45:24.860 Yeah, you're going to be, we're going to hang you.
00:45:26.900 You're going to, we're going to convict you.
00:45:28.220 We're going to take you up to the gallows.
00:45:29.560 We're going to hang you.
00:45:30.140 And that's it.
00:45:30.720 We don't care what your IQ is.
00:45:31.880 It doesn't make a difference.
00:45:34.720 And, um, of course we're too, we're too civilized for that.
00:45:39.380 Now we're too civilized and enlightened.
00:45:41.360 And so in our civilized, and so the civilized and enlightened approach is to just allow child sex predators to run rampant in the street and victimize kids.
00:45:50.560 That's, that's the, that's the civilized enlightened thing to do.
00:45:54.540 All right.
00:45:55.060 Um,
00:45:55.600 No, we're really coming out swinging after vacation.
00:45:58.660 I guess I've been bottling it all up.
00:46:01.320 Uh, here's a, well, it's also, you also have to understand I was, I was, I'm on vacation.
00:46:07.300 I don't pay attention to the news.
00:46:09.180 I don't, I'm totally in a bubble.
00:46:10.580 I don't, I don't look at, you know, I don't, I have no temptation.
00:46:13.780 I don't, I don't, I'm not on Twitter.
00:46:15.340 I don't look at the news.
00:46:16.580 I don't want to talk about it.
00:46:17.840 If anyone tries to come up to me on vacation there, Hey, well, you hear what's happening in the news?
00:46:21.520 No, I don't want, don't talk to me about it.
00:46:22.780 I don't, I don't have any take.
00:46:23.700 I have no opinion.
00:46:25.340 Um, so I'm in this bubble and then I come back and it's like, this is what I see.
00:46:28.800 It's like all Epstein child sex predators.
00:46:31.200 It's like, um, it's, uh, I don't know how else I can react to it.
00:46:37.520 So, but here's a report from CNN.
00:46:39.120 Uh, here's, so we'll just do one thing that I think is some, maybe some good news from my perspective.
00:46:43.540 Anyway, a report from CNN revealing that their decades of climate hysteria, propaganda, apparently
00:46:49.740 aren't working, uh, isn't working.
00:46:52.720 Um, and, uh, here it is.
00:46:56.100 Watch.
00:46:57.140 Are Americans afraid of climate change?
00:46:59.000 And the answer is Americans aren't afraid of climate change.
00:47:03.080 Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people.
00:47:07.700 I want you to take a look here.
00:47:09.060 Greatly worried about climate change.
00:47:10.700 We have data going all the way back since 1989.
00:47:13.680 Look at that.
00:47:14.000 It was 35%, 2000, 40%, 2020, 46%, and 2025, 40%, which is the exact same percentage as back
00:47:22.820 in 2000, despite all of these horrible weather events, the percentage of Americans who are
00:47:27.880 greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darn consistent, which kind of boggles
00:47:34.060 the mind a little bit.
00:47:35.040 Granted, everything that we see on our television screens, our computer screens, the hurricanes,
00:47:38.940 tornadoes, the flooding, but yet greatly worried about climate change, 40% in 2025, the
00:47:43.800 exact same percentage as back in 2000.
00:47:46.220 So there we go.
00:47:47.160 It's been pretty dark, uh, so that we lighten the mood with some encouraging news.
00:47:50.200 And this is very encouraging, you know, and we, we don't really talk about the collapse
00:47:53.300 of the climate change narrative the same way that we talk about the collapse of the LGBT
00:47:57.180 narrative or the BLM narrative.
00:47:59.080 All three of these have caved in on themselves at basically the same time because they're part
00:48:02.880 of the same structure.
00:48:03.680 They're basically rooms inside the same building, but we don't talk enough about the climate change
00:48:08.380 room, uh, collapsing.
00:48:10.100 And I think it's because it's just like a boring topic, which it is.
00:48:14.960 And yet it is remarkable that there has been this full court press, this overwhelming push
00:48:20.340 by all of the most powerful institutions in our culture for decades now to get us to buy
00:48:24.940 into this nonsense, to get us to panic over climate change.
00:48:28.020 And at the end of all that, even by CNN's own estimation, they've convinced by population
00:48:34.680 percentage, no one, as many people are worried about climate change today, as we're worried
00:48:40.640 about it 20 years ago, 25 years ago.
00:48:43.340 Um, and think about all that's happened since then.
00:48:46.580 Al Gore, you know, and the inconvenient truth, uh, AOC pushing the green new deal and Greta Thunberg
00:48:52.940 on and on and on, right?
00:48:54.820 Countless examples of climate change propaganda in movies and shows, music, entire blockbuster
00:49:00.760 films centered around this idea.
00:49:03.500 Uh, they've, they've flooded the zone with it.
00:49:06.240 They've shoved it in our faces everywhere.
00:49:07.960 They tried to indoctrinate.
00:49:09.080 They've got, this is all over the schools.
00:49:11.240 They've indoctrinated or tried to multiple generations of kids into this idea.
00:49:15.680 And yet here we are and still basically nobody cares.
00:49:20.720 And, you know, you got to really think about this though.
00:49:23.320 The, the, the left-wing climate change propaganda has basically failed.
00:49:28.400 LGBT propaganda succeeded for a while, but it's, it's now failing.
00:49:33.820 BLM fell apart.
00:49:36.040 Uh, I mean, gun control propaganda has always failed.
00:49:39.740 That has never worked in this country.
00:49:41.420 They've never, they haven't made it anywhere on that.
00:49:43.800 Um, they've, I mean, there are certainly gun grabbers out there and people who believe
00:49:49.960 in gun control, but I don't, it's, they have not convinced the majority of Americans on that
00:49:56.200 at all.
00:49:57.500 So you go down the list and you find that leftism actually fails to capture the hearts and minds
00:50:02.680 of the population.
00:50:04.120 And yet there's no doubt that they control the culture.
00:50:07.520 There's no doubt that we currently live in a society largely shaped by leftist ideas, by
00:50:12.080 leftist ideology.
00:50:13.760 Um, and when you look at any one of these issues individually, kind of in the micro, it seems
00:50:18.740 like they haven't convinced anyone of anything.
00:50:21.880 And yet they, they also still seem to be in control of the culture.
00:50:25.140 How is that?
00:50:25.700 Well, because it's a matter of control.
00:50:27.800 It's because they control the institutions.
00:50:29.740 It's a, it's a top-down thing.
00:50:31.300 They don't make a compelling case.
00:50:33.620 They don't speak to the heart or the mind or the soul of a person, but they control the
00:50:38.580 institution so they can force, you know, their failing ideology on us.
00:50:43.980 Um, it's like, it's like living in a, in a, in a country with a dictator who's, who's despised
00:50:49.300 by the people and nobody likes him, nobody believes in him, but he has control.
00:50:52.860 And, and, and the only answer is to topple him and seize back control.
00:50:58.740 Uh, in our case, it's the same thing to seize back the institutions.
00:51:01.560 It's the, it's the only way to really be rid of this, of this cancerous, uh, force.
00:51:07.900 So that was my version of a positive story.
00:51:10.560 That was, uh, and it ends with getting rid of cancerous forces.
00:51:13.800 So that's, it always comes back to that.
00:51:16.100 Being a husband, father and host my own show means life never slows down.
00:51:19.000 Imagine trying to eat 31 different fruits and vegetables every single day.
00:51:22.520 Sounds miserable and time consuming.
00:51:24.760 And, uh, you know, I don't want to have to keep up with that.
00:51:26.340 I'd rather go get something deep fried and unhealthy on occasion, but with balance of
00:51:30.060 nature, fruits and veggies, there's never been a more convenient dietary supplement

00:52:00.720 Everyone's still talking about our latest addition to the Daily Wire, Isabel Brown.
00:52:03.880 Her brand new show premieres this fall exclusively on Daily Wire Plus, but don't worry.
00:52:08.000 There's plenty more on the way as we celebrate a decade of Daily Wire.
00:52:10.900 Yes, we're celebrating our victories because who doesn't love winning, but we're also
00:52:14.980 fighting harder than ever.
00:52:16.200 The left wants to silence your voice.
00:52:17.680 We make it louder.
00:52:19.040 They want open borders.
00:52:20.080 We demand law and order.
00:52:21.200 They want drag shows for kids.
00:52:22.700 We make documentaries that expose the truth.
00:52:24.940 They cancel.
00:52:25.680 We create.
00:52:26.500 This is the time to be a part of the community that fights back and wins.
00:52:29.500 Go to dailywireplus.com and join the fight today.
00:52:32.060 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:52:33.260 For our first daily cancellation as I return from my years-long vacation, I must cancel Chip
00:52:44.580 and Joanna Gaines.
00:52:46.260 Those are the two former HGTV personalities who achieved world-renowned for remodeling houses.
00:52:52.660 And by remodeling, I mean painting everything white, throwing some shiplap up on the walls
00:52:56.360 and calling it a day.
00:52:57.140 And now they own a company called Magnolia, which sells home decor, among other things.
00:53:02.120 You can go to their website, or I think they're at Target, and you can buy some great Magnolia
00:53:05.980 decor, like a rusty tin bucket that you place next to your fireplace or whatever for some
00:53:11.800 reason, or a sign that you hang in your kitchen that says kitchen.
00:53:15.460 The great news is that you can also buy both in a bundle deal at a discounted price of just
00:53:19.040 $735.99.
00:53:20.880 Aside from being purveyors of expensive tin buckets, Chip and Joanna are also still in the
00:53:25.920 TV business with their own production company.
00:53:28.360 And more importantly, Chip and Joanna are, they say, Christians.
00:53:32.280 Indeed, their supposed Christian identity has been a very prominent part of their brand,
00:53:36.100 and it's why they've amassed a loyal fan base that consists almost entirely of Christian
00:53:40.280 stay-at-home moms between the ages of like 32 and 55.
00:53:43.660 My wife is one of them, or was.
00:53:46.580 And that's what made it so confusing for their fans when it was announced recently that they
00:53:50.860 have produced a new reality show for HBO Max called Back to the Frontier.
00:53:55.600 The show takes three families, dresses them like 19th century pioneers, and challenges them
00:54:00.600 to live for eight weeks as if they're cattle ranchers somewhere out on the Great Plains
00:54:05.220 in 1881.
00:54:06.820 Now, so far, based on the premise, there's no reason to object, except for the fact that
00:54:11.060 the show is certainly going to be almost entirely fake.
00:54:13.920 But that's not what has upset their Christian fan base.
00:54:16.600 The problem, the thing that has got Christians riled up.
00:54:20.860 And rightfully so.
00:54:21.620 It should be immediately obvious when you see the trailer for the show.
00:54:25.820 Here it is.
00:54:26.500 Selfie!
00:54:34.660 Going back to the frontier is going to be life-changing for all of us.
00:54:40.020 We want to go backward so that we can go forward in the right direction.
00:54:44.260 Makeup and jewelry removal there, please.
00:54:46.440 Lip gloss at least, right?
00:54:47.640 Everything must go.
00:54:48.460 Oh!
00:54:48.720 I want my kids to learn humility and hard work.
00:54:52.380 All of your tech in here, please.
00:54:54.100 Are you guys ready to get rid of these devices?
00:54:55.940 No.
00:54:56.440 No?
00:54:57.540 I'm at a loss for words that I have to give up all of this to go back to the frontier.
00:55:03.400 Take me home.
00:55:05.420 Welcome to your frontier.
00:55:09.180 Oh my God!
00:55:11.380 This is really it.
00:55:12.500 This is all we have.
00:55:13.560 There's only two beds?
00:55:14.940 I'm not sharing a bed.
00:55:16.380 Why are we complaining about this?
00:55:18.140 I didn't anticipate it would be this difficult just to find three vegetables for dinner tonight.
00:55:22.560 We sit on that?
00:55:24.040 It's the 1800s.
00:55:25.520 Well, there's the problem.
00:55:26.940 Not the black family, but the one we saw right before them.
00:55:30.120 That was the two men and two kids.
00:55:32.840 That's a gay male couple with two children.
00:55:36.020 Two boys specifically, because gay couples almost always seem to adopt boys.
00:55:40.640 Hmm.
00:55:41.280 I mean, it's not something we're supposed to notice or ask any questions about.
00:55:44.440 They certainly don't want you to think about that while you're watching Back to the Frontier,
00:55:47.820 a show that might more rightly be called DEI on the Frontier.
00:55:51.080 Although, of course, if this is actually true to life, the season would be one episode long,
00:55:55.660 and the episode would last about five minutes before everyone dies,
00:55:59.240 because that's what would actually happen if you attempted to apply DEI principles to the American frontier.
00:56:04.880 But this is not true to life.
00:56:06.720 And more to the point, as it concerns the Christian couple that produced this nonsense,
00:56:10.940 it is not true to the Bible.
00:56:13.400 The point of including this couple is very explicitly to promote and normalize same-sex, quote-unquote, marriage,
00:56:21.080 and same-sex, quote-unquote, families.
00:56:23.440 The gay couple, in an interview, said that explicitly recently.
00:56:26.980 Listen.
00:56:28.000 How did you hear about this opportunity?
00:56:29.800 Who was more invested from the jump?
00:56:31.780 Who took more convincing?
00:56:32.860 I want to know that whole story.
00:56:34.220 When I first saw the flyer on social media, there was a gay couple on the flyer.
00:56:38.760 And so that initially kind of sparked my interest, and I was very much intrigued in learning more about the show
00:56:44.920 and kind of what that experience was going to be.
00:56:47.720 I was super honored that when they were choosing three modern-day families,
00:56:53.040 that they did choose a same-sex couple as a modern-day family because we are.
00:56:57.320 We are your neighbors and your coworkers.
00:56:59.940 And so it was this great, amazing opportunity to normalize same-sex couples and same-sex families.
00:57:06.660 Now, why would a wholesome Christian couple provide this kind of exciting opportunity to a gay couple?
00:57:14.300 The Bible, which all Christians must by definition affirm as the inerrant word of God,
00:57:19.820 makes itself very clear on this topic, no matter how you personally feel about it.
00:57:24.700 The Homosexual Act is condemned in Romans 1.26, 1 Corinthians 6.9-10,
00:57:29.460 as disordered, immoral, depraved, shameful.
00:57:34.600 Several other verses across the Old and New Testaments say the same.
00:57:37.320 The book of Genesis prescribes that a man must leave his parents and become one flesh with his wife.
00:57:44.280 It is all exceedingly incontrovertibly clear,
00:57:47.760 which is why Christian moral teaching on the subject of homosexual relationships
00:57:51.600 has been unanimous for 2,000 years.
00:57:55.820 And this is something that should matter to Chip and Joanna since they claim to be Christians.
00:58:00.680 And even if they weren't Christians,
00:58:02.540 there would still be plenty of reasons to object to two men adopting children
00:58:06.040 and to a show that promotes that kind of arrangement.
00:58:09.020 Every child needs and deserves and naturally has a mother and a father.
00:58:14.120 The mother and father united in marriage are the two pillars that the institution of the family is built upon.
00:58:20.780 To intentionally deprive a child of one of these pillars is an act of unspeakable evil.
00:58:26.160 And this used to be widely understood,
00:58:27.560 which is why gay adoption was illegal nearly everywhere in the country up until just a few years ago.
00:58:32.680 And it was legalized, not for the sake of the children,
00:58:35.760 not because it was somehow discovered that it's good or healthy for them to be adopted by same-sex couples,
00:58:40.440 but for the sake of these same-sex couples themselves.
00:58:42.660 It was decided that couples who, by their nature, cannot conceive children
00:58:47.440 still somehow have a right to children.
00:58:52.160 Which is a concept that any rational person, even one who isn't Christian,
00:58:57.000 should be able to see as the abhorrent nonsense that it is.
00:59:01.700 But Chip and Joanna Gaines are apparently not rational or Christian.
00:59:05.980 And if there's any doubt about that,
00:59:07.640 Chip alleviated it with his response to his Christian fans
00:59:10.720 who've expressed concern about his decision to promote gay couples and gay adoption.
00:59:14.500 On Sunday, Chip posted this to Axe,
00:59:17.100 quote,
00:59:18.140 Talk, ask questions, listen, maybe even learn.
00:59:21.680 Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture.
00:59:24.600 Judge first, understand later slash never.
00:59:27.680 It's a sad Sunday when non-believers have never been confronted with hate or vitriol
00:59:32.340 until they're introduced to a modern American Christian.
00:59:35.380 Now, no surprise there, a fake Christian in the public eye
00:59:40.260 is called out for promoting, you know, sin and worldliness.
00:59:43.400 And he responds by accusing his critics of being judgmental bigots.
00:59:46.340 We've seen this play about a thousand times before.
00:59:49.500 But I have to wonder,
00:59:51.300 what does Chip want us to learn exactly?
00:59:54.860 And he says we need to learn.
00:59:56.080 Okay, well, tell us, Chip.
00:59:59.600 Do you want to teach us about how the Bible actually supports the idea
01:00:03.200 that men can get married and have children?
01:00:06.000 Do you want to show us how Christian teaching through the centuries
01:00:09.640 has actually supported your view,
01:00:11.300 but billions of Christians throughout history just couldn't see it?
01:00:15.140 Is that it?
01:00:16.640 Has the pro-gay adoption message in Scripture
01:00:19.220 been hidden in code this whole time?
01:00:21.280 Have we had to wait for 2,000 years
01:00:23.260 until a couple of HGTV hosts could come along and reveal it to us?
01:00:27.320 Is there something in the book of Revelation
01:00:28.660 about how two people named Chip and Joanna,
01:00:31.120 shiplap enthusiasts,
01:00:32.220 would come along 20 centuries after Christ
01:00:34.380 to completely upend everything we thought we knew
01:00:36.320 about the fundamental moral teachings of the faith?
01:00:39.420 Is that it, Chip?
01:00:41.520 If so, then please teach us.
01:00:44.800 Tell us what you know.
01:00:47.100 Explain exactly how you harmonize
01:00:48.880 your pro-gay marriage and gay adoption views with the Bible.
01:00:51.340 I'd be fascinated to hear,
01:00:53.960 but I doubt you'll ever explain it
01:00:56.500 because you know that you can.
01:00:58.820 Instead, you'll regurgitate the weak, liberal platitudes
01:01:01.560 that you hear from your pastor
01:01:02.840 at whatever pseudo-Christian megachurch you attend
01:01:05.360 and continue raking in your millions
01:01:08.400 from the very people who you have now made it clear
01:01:11.020 don't respect and who you don't even like.
01:01:14.740 And that is why you and your wife
01:01:16.680 are both today, I'm afraid, canceled.
01:01:20.480 And that'll do it for the show today
01:01:22.400 and we'll talk to you tomorrow.
01:01:24.420 Have a great day.
01:01:25.800 Godspeed.
01:01:26.140 Godspeed.
01:01:33.060 Godspeed.
01:01:33.380 Godspeed.
