The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1628 - REVEALED： The Dark Truth About Becoming An Organ Donor

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the conspiracy theorists have been proven right again.

00:00:03.100 New reporting reveals that there are very good reasons to be hesitant about putting yourself

00:00:07.100 down as an organ donor on your driver's license. Also, Trump pushes to have the NFL team in

00:00:11.300 Washington change its name back to the Redskins, and a new alleged police brutality case goes

00:00:16.140 viral. We'll take a look at the full context and find out who's really at fault. All that and more

00:00:20.240 today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 How many times have you told someone, if it ain't broke, don't fix it? Now, that's great advice

00:00:50.960 most of the time, but not so much for a cell phone. See, over time, the battery life fades,

00:00:56.180 the processors can't keep up, and it's fallen in the toilet one too many times. Fortunately,

00:01:47.680 In every single state in the country, when you go to the DMV to get your driver's license,

00:01:53.280 you're asked whether you want to become an organ donor. And this is how the vast majority of people,

00:01:57.820 more than 90% of them, end up on the National Registry of Organ Donors. And usually people

00:02:02.400 are happy to sign on. It's seen as a pretty unambiguous act of virtue. In fact, it's long

00:02:07.560 been seen as the most virtuous act that can possibly take place at a DMV, which admittedly isn't saying

00:02:13.080 much. And most people don't really think about it. They just check the box yes on the theory that

00:02:18.460 one day if they end up in a horrible accident and they die, then their organs could be used to save

00:02:23.040 a life. But if you think about it for a second, as many so-called conspiracy theorists, quote unquote,

00:02:28.520 have done over the years, a lot of questions begin to emerge. For one thing, why exactly are we pairing

00:02:33.740 organ donation with getting a driver's license? I mean, no other government program works like this,

00:02:39.920 even with the motor voter law, there are still a handful of DMVs that don't ask about voter

00:02:45.120 registration. Organ donation stands alone as the only issue that every DMV, without exception,

00:02:51.100 is fixated on. You know, aside from like actually driving. They're not interested in signing up for

00:02:56.980 a gym or helping you file your taxes or making sure you know how to service your car or finding you a

00:03:02.420 quality gutter cleaner or any of that. Human organs are the one thing on their mind. There also aren't

00:03:09.160 any other major medical decisions that they expect you to make on the spot when you go for your

00:03:13.880 driver's license. Like they don't try to upsell you on a root canal or LASIK eye surge or anything

00:03:18.620 else. Organ donation, again, stands alone. Now you might say that, well, a lot of people die in car

00:03:23.920 accidents and it's good to have a plan B for their organs. So that's not creepy at all. But if that's

00:03:30.580 the reason, it's strange that the DMV doesn't pester you to, say, hire an attorney to draft your will

00:03:35.400 just in case you die in a horrible car accident. Nor does the DMV bother you to check to see if you

00:03:40.000 have good health insurance, which is obviously pretty important if you get into a wreck. The

00:03:43.980 DMV doesn't care about any of that. They just want you to sign up to have your organs taken away in

00:03:50.400 case you die. Now the legal basis for the DMV's question is found within the Uniform Anatomical Gift

00:03:56.840 Act, which was backed by every major medical organization. This law encourages states to add organ

00:04:03.160 donors to a national registry. It was first passed in the 60s, but it's been revised several times

00:04:06.980 most recently in 2006. And the latest version of law, quote, expanded the list of persons who can

00:04:11.720 consent to organ donation on behalf of an individual, gave every individual the opportunity to donate

00:04:16.620 the organs at or near death, and stated that individuals who refuse to donate must explicitly state

00:04:22.200 that. In other words, because not enough organs were being donated, the law changed from opt-in

00:04:27.920 to opt-out. And the legal presumption is that you want to gift your organs to strangers.

00:04:35.500 Now, as they watched organ donation become a bigger and bigger priority for the government,

00:04:39.420 a small and highly skeptical group of people wondered whether all of these major medical

00:04:44.360 organizations and lawmakers might have a conflict of interest. After all, organ transplants are

00:04:48.900 extremely lucrative procedures. A double lung transplant can easily cost $2 million. A liver transplant

00:04:55.660 can run over a million dollars. Kidney transplants, which are kind of the bargain bin of the organ

00:05:01.820 donation world, cost merely hundreds of thousands of dollars. So given all these numbers, it's reasonable

00:05:06.760 to ask whether a hospital, when confronted with a seriously ill patient who happens to be an organ

00:05:12.340 donor, might have an incentive to murder that patient, or at least let them die, or at least not give them

00:05:19.180 all the care that they otherwise would. Like, there's a lot of money on the line. It's certainly

00:05:24.920 reasonable to ask what safeguards are in place to prevent something like that from happening exactly.

00:05:29.900 Now, go on the website of the Mayo Clinic, which is supposedly the number one hospital in the world,

00:05:33.720 and you'll find an entire page that's devoted to reassuring skeptics about organ donation. But the page

00:05:39.420 doesn't do a very good job. Instead, it simply states, quote, myth. If I agree to donate my organs,

00:05:44.100 the hospital staff won't work as hard to save my life. Fact, when you go to the hospital for

00:05:49.200 treatment, the healthcare team tries to save your life, not someone else's. You get the best care

00:05:54.260 you can get. Close quote. Well, that's that. The Mayo Clinic promises that you'll get the best care.

00:06:02.200 No one in the hospital would ever dream of killing you or letting you die so they can harvest your organs.

00:06:06.680 And you'll just have to take their word for it. And if you can't trust the sterling reputation of

00:06:11.520 America's leading medical experts, then who can you trust? And you'll notice, of course, that this is a

00:06:16.040 common theme in the fact-checking industry. People who are skeptical of the official narrative will

00:06:20.620 find that their skepticism is, quote-unquote, debunked by the fact-checkers simply repeating

00:06:25.560 the official narrative. As it turns out, though, once again, we have been lied to. And once again,

00:06:32.140 the so-called conspiracy theorists were right. At hospitals all over the country, new reporting reveals,

00:06:37.980 and there's now a federal investigation being launched into this, to look into this by the

00:06:43.160 HHS, this new reporting reveals that patients are indeed being rushed into surgery to remove their

00:06:49.420 organs, even when they're still alive. And we're not talking about one or two cases here. This is a

00:06:54.480 systemic problem. It's also an inevitable problem, given the way that the incentives have been set up.

00:07:00.040 Consider the story of a Kentucky man named T.J. Hoover. Back in 2021, doctors said that he was brain

00:07:07.100 dead. They convinced the family to remove his life support so that his organs could be harvested.

00:07:11.180 Meanwhile, according to an employee with the organ procurement company named Nicky Martin,

00:07:15.580 Hoover was actually displaying signs of life, including tracking with his eyes, moving around,

00:07:19.620 trying to pull his tube out, trying to pull his hands away. But the family apparently wasn't told

00:07:24.480 about any of those signs of life, and Hoover was ultimately brought to an operating room so that

00:07:28.400 his organs could be harvested. But just before his life support was cut off and the surgery began,

00:07:32.860 Hoover woke up. And then even after he woke up, the organ harvesters at Kentucky Organ Donor

00:07:37.940 Alliances, or CODA, reportedly weren't deterred. The harvesters were still dead set on finding a

00:07:44.980 doctor to perform the surgery on this guy who just woke up. That's according to one medical

00:07:49.700 professional who was in the operating room with T.J. Hoover. Watch.

00:07:53.100 What you are watching is the Honor Walk. It's one of the most revered traditions in a hospital.

00:07:59.760 It's when family, friends, and staff all pay their respects as someone is wheeled off to give the

00:08:04.560 ultimate gift, donation of their organs. Except this man, T.J. Hoover, was still very much alive.

00:08:24.140 So we did track down someone who was in the operating room that day and did see what happened

00:08:30.400 firsthand. Her name is Natasha Miller. She's a transplant perfusionist, and I'm driving to see

00:08:35.900 her now. From what I understand, he was mouthing the word no and pushing hands away and things like

00:08:41.180 that.

00:08:41.500 Yes, he was very aware. The pronouncing physician comes in, and when she comes in, she walks back

00:08:47.700 out and she says, I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this case. I don't feel comfortable.

00:08:52.660 The organ coordinator that was there, she steps out to call the supervisor at the time to tell him that

00:08:59.140 the pronouncing physician was refusing to do the case. She said that he was yelling at her, telling

00:09:03.520 her she needed to find another physician to come, and she's like, there is no one. There's no one else

00:09:08.540 to come do this case.

00:09:10.020 Is there any part of this that makes sense to you? Is any part of this defensible?

00:09:13.800 No, because it seemed like at first they were saying, well, family, family consented, family consented,

00:09:19.920 family consented. And I get that. But again, it seems like family wasn't made fully aware of his

00:09:25.740 actual state. None of it makes sense. We should have never went to OR.

00:09:30.120 I was a registered organ donor, and I'm not anymore.

00:09:32.740 Really? Because you don't trust the system?

00:09:34.540 I don't trust the system.

00:09:36.200 What is TJ's life like now?

00:09:38.040 He wasn't supposed to make it a year if he made it.

00:09:40.520 Hold your hand up, bud.

00:09:41.800 For TJ, it's not just about being alive, but living and getting to be a part of these moments,

00:09:49.260 like walking his sister down the aisle.

00:09:52.240 The organ harvesting company, COTA, has denied all wrongdoing. They said that they don't get

00:09:57.460 any kickbacks when organs are harvested, and they claim that all the procedures were followed.

00:10:01.600 But when you listen to the testimony of the former COTA employee who was in the operating room,

00:10:06.260 the company's denial isn't exactly convincing. And on top of that, if you can follow procedures

00:10:10.820 and still come close to ripping the organs out of a living patient, then obviously the procedures

00:10:15.820 need to change. And that shouldn't be controversial in any way to say.

00:10:19.460 That's especially true given that as horrible as TJ Hoover's situation was, the organ harvesting

00:10:24.180 industry has been involved in operations that are somehow even more horrifying than that.

00:10:29.740 In some cases, the mistake wasn't caught in time. We're talking about situations where the

00:10:34.420 surgical operation began even though the patient wasn't dead. Last May, for example, a 42-year-old

00:10:40.760 woman named Misty Hawkins, who had a lifelong cognitive disability and lived with her mother

00:10:45.180 in Alabama, choked on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and ended up in a coma.

00:10:49.860 By the time doctors removed the obstruction, she had suffered severe oxygen deprivation and had to

00:10:54.080 be hooked up to a ventilator. And that's when the doctors reportedly gave the mother a choice. 1.00

00:10:58.400 She had 72 hours to decide whether she wanted to terminate life support and donate the organs or 0.85

00:11:03.180 send her daughter to a nursing home. And the mother decided to let her daughter die on the theory that 0.97

00:11:08.020 she didn't want her to suffer. And here's what happens next. This is from the New York Times

00:11:13.020 report that just came out. Quote,

00:11:15.020 In the operating room, a hospital doctor took Ms. Hawkins off the ventilator and gave her drugs for 1.00

00:11:19.760 comfort. The doctor declared her dead 103 minutes later near the outer limit of organ viability. 0.96

00:11:25.580 The surgeons entered the room. They began operating after a five-minute waiting period. All circulatory

00:11:31.180 death donations require a waiting period to ensure the heart does not restart. Almost immediately,

00:11:37.040 they saw Ms. Hawkins' heart moving. Records from the procurement organization also noted

00:11:41.520 subsequent gasping respirations, a type of breathing. The surgeon stopped and left the

00:11:46.260 room. Another doctor sewed up Ms. Hawkins. It's unclear if she was given any anesthetic.

00:11:50.940 Twelve minutes later, she was again declared dead.

00:11:54.600 And nobody informed Hawkins' family about any of this, according to the Times.

00:11:58.320 They just told the family that her organs turned out to be unusable. It took more than a year for the

00:12:03.260 family to learn what had actually happened. And they made the discovery by talking to the

00:12:07.020 New York Times. Something similar happened to Hoover's family in Kentucky. For all the respect

00:12:13.460 that these hospitals supposedly have for organ donors, they became extremely quiet and secretive

00:12:18.660 when things go bad. In Hawkins' case, doctors interviewed by the Times assessed that it was

00:12:24.340 all but impossible that her heart restarted after the waiting period. In other words, the doctors were

00:12:30.040 probably wrong when they declared that she was dead. It looks a lot like she was alive. And despite that

00:12:36.640 inconvenient detail, the doctor started carving her up, presumably without providing anesthetic

00:12:41.860 because supposedly this person was dead. And this isn't something you think a hospital could

00:12:48.020 possibly mess up, but apparently that's what happened. And again, it's not particularly uncommon.

00:12:52.480 There are plenty of cases just like this one. Quoting again from the Times,

00:12:56.360 quote,

00:12:56.740 In 2022, when she was 38 and homeless, Ms. Galagos was hospitalized and went into a coma. Doctors at

00:13:02.480 Presbyterian Hospital in Albuquerque told her family that she would never recover. On the day of the

00:13:07.040 planned donation, Ms. Galagos was taken to a pre-surgery room where her two sisters held her hand.

00:13:12.460 A doctor arrived to withdraw life support. Then a sister announced that she had seen Ms. Galagos move.

00:13:16.980 The doctor asked her to blink her eyes and she complied. The room erupted in gasps. Still,

00:13:22.100 hospital workers said the procurement organization wanted to move forward. A coordinator said it was

00:13:27.420 just reflexes and suggested morphine to reduce movements. The hospital refused. Instead, workers

00:13:33.320 brought her back to her room and she made a full recovery. Yes, yes. Just seconds before they were

00:13:40.980 about to kill this woman and harvest her organs, the family noticed that she was still alive.

00:13:45.040 And then even after the family pointed this out, the organ harvesting organization still wanted to cut 0.97

00:13:50.080 her organs out. And now she's fine. And yet through all of this, no one has been arrested

00:13:56.840 or fed to the alligators. No one suffered any consequences at all for trying to harvest the

00:14:04.280 organs of a person they knew was alive. Stories like this led the Trump administration to investigate

00:14:10.660 the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network, which administers the organ transplant program

00:14:15.480 that Congress established. The administration looked into a relatively small number of incidents,

00:14:20.560 a total of 351 cases where organ donation was authorized, but ultimately not completed.

00:14:26.380 And here's what they found. Quote,

00:14:28.640 103 cases, 29.3% showed concerning features, including 73 patients with neurological signs

00:14:33.900 incompatible with organ donation. At least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time

00:14:39.680 organ procurement was initiated, raising serious ethical and legal questions. Evidence pointed to pure

00:14:44.980 neurologic assessments, poor neurologic assessments, lack of coordination with medical teams,

00:14:50.960 questionable consent practices, and misclassification of causes of death, particularly in overdose cases.

00:14:56.400 Vulnerabilities were highest in small and rural hospitals, indicating systemic gaps in oversight.

00:15:03.220 Okay, so to repeat, according to this data, 73 patients had neurological signs incompatible with organ

00:15:09.000 donation, and at least 28 patients may not have been deceased at the time organ procurement

00:15:13.100 was initiated. And this is just based on an investigation of 351 cases where organ procurement

00:15:18.700 was authorized, but not completed. We're not looking at the cases where it was completed.

00:15:25.320 In nearly 10% of those cases, and potentially as many as 20% of them, the patient wasn't actually dead.

00:15:31.920 Keep in mind, these are the most conservative estimates we have. The real figures are almost certainly

00:15:37.780 even worse. Nothing on the Mayo Clinic's webpage on organ donation talks about any of this, nor will

00:15:42.660 the DMV inform you of these statistics when you go to renew your license. Instead, as is so often the

00:15:47.540 case, the conspiracy theorists on social media will give you more accurate information than official

00:15:53.980 expert sources will. Once again, the conspiracy theorists were onto something, just as they were about

00:16:01.500 masks and social distancing, COVID shot, Wuhan lab leak, and so on, and so on, and so on, and so on.

00:16:07.760 This is yet another blow to the credibility of the expert medical establishment, which,

00:16:12.180 unlike many of the patients whose organs they want to harvest, has been dead and gone for a very long

00:16:17.640 time. The least credible people on the planet have been proven to be liars once again. And that's not

00:16:24.620 the only reason that we shouldn't be surprised by these revelations. In every other context, the medical

00:16:28.800 industry already treats human beings like lab rats and or commodities. And we've seen this again and

00:16:36.580 again with abortion and euthanasia, so-called gender affirming care, and so on. Doctors who don't value

00:16:44.300 the dignity of human life will eagerly commit unspeakable horrors in the name of ideology or profit or

00:16:53.040 both. And they'll do it without any hint of shame whatsoever. They'll tell anti-lockdown protesters

00:17:00.740 to stay home while they encourage BLM rioters to flood the streets. They'll carve up the bodies of 0.98

00:17:04.880 young children, even as they privately admit that those children can't consent. And as we're seeing

00:17:11.760 now, they'll slice open the chest of an organ donor who's not even dead, and then they'll get angry when

00:17:15.860 the organ donor wakes up in the middle of the operation. Thanks to a law that's been adopted by every

00:17:21.320 state. Your local DMV, you know, the lady at your local DMV wants you to ignore all of this. She wants

00:17:27.000 you to believe that really all these incidents aren't a big deal. And I mean, even if they seem

00:17:31.760 like outtakes from a Saw movie, we just don't worry about it. Just sign on the dotted line and like any

00:17:37.460 good and decent person would, and become an organ donor. After all, how could it possibly be a bad

00:17:43.540 idea to be an organ donor? That'd be like saying it's a bad idea to save a helpless puppy, the kind

00:17:49.600 they show on TV as that Sarah McLachlan song plays, or at least they used to. And for most

00:17:56.140 of this country's history, the DMV lady would have a point, but the DMV lady doesn't have a point 1.00

00:18:00.480 anymore. Give immoral people a position of power and they'll corrupt everything they can. Put the 0.99

00:18:08.060 medical industry in the position of taking lives intentionally as they do with abortion,

00:18:12.200 euthanasia. You've created all kinds of conflicts of interest already. You've turned the medical

00:18:21.400 field into something that doesn't just treat and help people, but in fact, intentionally harms and

00:18:27.260 kills them in some cases. They'll turn unambiguous acts of virtue, like agreeing to be an organ donor

00:18:34.260 into a catastrophic blunder that can get you murdered in an operating room. That's what the people

00:18:41.020 running some of the most powerful hospitals and medical organizations in the country have done

00:18:44.420 as a result of their corruption. Uh, here's the stark choice that we're left with. The next time

00:18:50.480 we go to the DMV to get our license renewed, we can either make it harder for people to receive organs

00:18:55.200 they need, or we can sign a license to have doctors butcher us in the operating room while we're still 1.00

00:19:00.620 alive. Yeah, those are the choices and there's no good option. That will remain true until the people

00:19:06.680 responsible for all these cases I mentioned and many cases I didn't mention are criminally

00:19:10.320 investigated and if appropriate, charged for what they've done. There needs to be a full accounting

00:19:15.260 here. Absolute transparency is necessary along with actual consequences. And until that time comes,

00:19:21.460 no one, especially not the DMV lady should be doing the bidding of these surgeons and organ harvesters. 1.00

00:19:27.220 The DMV should stick to handing out licenses and doing eye tests and the medical profession for the first 0.70

00:19:32.420 time in a generation should focus exclusively on helping and treating people instead of wantonly

00:19:39.220 destroying even more human life for profit. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:51.900 When budgets are stretched thin, Kickoff offers a smart path to genuine credit building without the burden

00:19:57.620 of costly credit card balances. No credit check required, no interest charges, only $5 monthly. It can actually

00:20:04.140 boost your score quickly. With clear budget-friendly plans beginning at only $5 a month, no surprise

00:20:09.160 charges and zero interest rates, Kickoff helps you win big on the credit front. Straightforward,

00:20:13.780 you make timely payments, credit agencies notice positive habits, and your credit can improve

00:20:19.040 very quickly. Users with credit under 600 grew an average of 84 points in their first year with on-time

00:21:30.000 things to say about it. President Trump over the weekend launched a pressure campaign to force the

00:21:33.420 Washington Commanders football team to change their name back to the Redskins. Fox News has the

00:21:39.080 latest. President Donald Trump threw a curveball into the NFL world over the weekend when he,

00:21:43.460 that's a mixed metaphor, that's no good, threw a curveball into the NFL world.

00:21:49.480 Uh, you can't, that's, that's baseball. That's, that's just, you got to rework the opening

00:21:53.700 sentence there. Um, anyway, how about the, he, uh, he did a trick play or, or something like that.

00:22:00.040 I don't know. Quarterback sneak. Um, anyway, over the weekend when he threatened to put the

00:22:06.020 Washington Commanders RFK stadium site in jeopardy, if they didn't change its name back to the Redskins.

00:22:11.360 Um, and he, uh, uh, Trump wrote on Truth Social, the Washington Whatevers should immediately change

00:22:23.520 their name back to the Washington Redskins football team. There's a big clamoring for this,

00:22:28.620 Trump wrote. Likewise, the Cleveland Indians, one of the six original baseball teams with a storied

00:22:33.660 past. Our great Indian people in massive numbers want this to happen. Their heritage and prestige

00:22:38.680 is systematically being taken away from them. Times are different now than they were three or

00:22:42.400 four years ago. We're a country of passion and common sense owners get it done. Uh, and then

00:22:47.160 he followed up later at this. And he was also saying that he's going to, as it said, he's going

00:22:51.060 to potentially hold up, um, what's happening with the stadium, uh, the new stadium, if they don't

00:22:58.840 get this done. And he says, my statement on the Washington Redskins is totally blown up,

00:23:02.260 but only in a very positive way. I may be, I may put a restriction on them if they don't change

00:23:06.800 the name back to the original Washington Redskins and get rid of the ridiculous moniker Washington

00:23:11.000 commanders. I won't make a deal for them to build a stadium in Washington. The team should be much

00:23:16.220 more valuable and the deal would be more exciting for everyone. Uh, okay. So then this was like on

00:23:21.920 Sunday, getting into the week, they're talking about this. Now I don't think this is going to

00:23:26.040 happen. They, they're not going to change it back to Redskins. Like that's just, it's not going to

00:23:30.640 happen. Uh, it just won't. And I will say, you know, I have to say to start with that, look,

00:23:37.880 this whole thing does strike me as a pretty unsubtle attempt to change the subject. Okay.

00:23:44.620 It is, it is hard for me to stomach the idea that, um, Epstein is a boring and unimportant and dumb 0.99

00:23:53.420 story as Trump has said, but the name of the football team in Washington isn't boring, dumb, 0.98

00:23:59.060 or unimportant. I mean, that's the problem. You can't, you can't come out and say, this is totally 0.97

00:24:04.780 ridiculous. Why are we talking about this? It doesn't matter. And then a few days later launch 0.97

00:24:09.860 into a series, like spend a day talking about the name of the football team in Washington.

00:24:16.420 How in the world is that important enough, uh, to require the president of the United States to not

00:24:23.340 only speak out about it, but to get involved actively. So that's important enough for that,

00:24:27.840 but not the Epstein files like that. That doesn't make any sense. So when critics claim that this

00:24:32.700 pivot to the Redskins is kind of a ploy to change the subject. Yeah, I think it is just being honest.

00:24:39.620 And I know it's going to annoy some of you that I'm saying that even though, you know, I'm right.

00:24:43.840 It's, it's going to annoy you. Cause like, yeah, yeah, but be a team player. Don't we all know that

00:24:47.660 of course that's what he's doing, but don't say it out loud. Um, but I, I don't, that's a game.

00:24:55.200 I don't play. I don't, I'll be on, I'll, I'll say out loud, whatever I happen to think about a

00:24:58.700 subject and I'm not going to worry about, well, we don't want to say that because we're, we got

00:25:02.200 to think about the strategy. I'll fully admit, I'm not as worried about strategy. I'm just going

00:25:05.620 to tell you what I think, right. That's cause that's what I consider my job to be. And so in

00:25:09.500 this case, yeah, this is a very clearly a, uh, an unsubtle attempt to change the subject and,

00:25:15.880 uh, kind of, kind of clunky and clumsy and it doesn't work. And it's, it's too transparent,

00:25:20.100 you know, so just like strategically, it doesn't work anyway. Um, and I don't even think we should

00:25:26.700 change the subject because I think that the subject of Epstein subject is important. All

00:25:29.700 that said on the merits of, of the case here, I do agree with Trump. I mean, I've been saying

00:25:35.120 this myself since forever. I, I don't, I don't think it's the kind of issue we need the president

00:25:39.100 to be focused on right now, but because it doesn't rise to that level, but I agree in principle

00:25:43.660 that, yeah, the name should not have been changed. Uh, Trump also wants to bring back the

00:25:47.940 Cleveland Indians name. And that's another one that should not have been changed. I agree.

00:25:54.060 Mainly that I wanted to talk about this, this angle for, for a minute. You, uh, cause you hear

00:25:59.800 this kind of argument all the time from the left and somebody posted this. It has like 60,000 likes,

00:26:05.920 10 million views. It's an argument that resonates on the left. You hear this a lot when we talk about

00:26:09.900 the names of teams. And so we'll put that up on the screen. You can see it there. The account is

00:26:16.040 ironically suggesting that rather than change the Cleveland name back to the Indians, we should

00:26:21.500 call the team, the whites and have a mascot of a white guy with a mustache and glasses and a fedora.

00:26:29.660 And so the idea is, is like, well, how would you like this? Oh, you think it's so great to have the

00:26:34.700 Indians as a name? Well, how would you like it? White people? How would you like this? If it was called

00:26:38.680 the whites and the guy who posted this, by the way, is Indian, uh, it looks like feather Indian,

00:26:45.480 American Indian. So the point is that we're supposed to find this really offensive or something 0.99

00:26:50.880 as white people. But, but of course, every time the left makes this point, the response for most

00:26:57.200 white people is, uh, hell yeah, that would be awesome. I would totally support a baseball or 0.94

00:27:05.360 football team called the whites or the fighting Caucasians or whatever you go. I, yeah, let's do 1.00

00:27:12.760 it. Call our bluff. Let's go ahead and do it. How about the great whites? That that's a good one. 1.00

00:27:21.380 You know, the team is called the great whites and the mascot is a, is a Caucasian shark. So it's kind 0.73

00:27:27.500 of a combination. It could go either way. It's a shark, it's a shark with a fedora and, uh, and a

00:27:34.080 good credit score. That's how you know he's a white shark. He's a shark holding up a paper with

00:27:39.480 an eight 50 credit score. Anyway, um, I'd have no problem with that. But the irony here, the really

00:27:45.240 funny thing is that we all know that if some team did change their name to the whites, which of course

00:27:52.080 would never happen, but if that were to happen, it would not be white conservatives complaining.

00:27:58.160 It would be leftists. Leftists would complain because they would see the team name as a celebration of

00:28:03.260 the white race, which of course isn't allowed. You're not allowed to celebrate white people or, 1.00

00:28:07.280 or show that you're in any way proud of them or anything like that. Um, so they would see it as

00:28:13.700 a celebration glorification of the white race. And we all know that it would a hundred percent 0.97

00:28:17.860 only be leftists complaining and they would be hysterical about it. I mean, they would be

00:28:25.600 completely hysteric. So we're supposed to believe that if you, if a team changed their name to the

00:28:30.520 whites, that there'd be this hysterical reaction from white conservatives, people like me, that I

00:28:34.760 would be completely offended by it. When in reality it would be, I mean, people on the left, they would

00:28:40.460 be, they would actually be rioting in the street. They would storm the stadium. Okay. And burn it.

00:28:46.060 If that were to ever happen, they would be, you know, apoplectic with rage. Absolutely. We,

00:28:50.520 and again, we all know that. And yet when a team is named after Indians, they, they, so in that

00:28:57.960 case, they would be offended because they'd see, Oh, well that's, you're celebrating white people.

00:29:01.020 We can't do that. But then if you name it team after the Indians, they don't see that as a

00:29:04.840 celebration. They see that as an attack on Indians rather than a celebration or glorification of

00:29:08.700 them. But it is in fact the latter. And that's, that's like, when you name a team, that's why

00:29:14.440 nobody, you name a team after something that you admire, something you think is good, something you

00:29:19.780 think is, uh, uh, you know, something that, that has some, uh, gravitas to it. That's why you name the

00:29:27.020 team after them. That's why you're never going to have a football team called the, whatever,

00:29:31.820 the Philadelphia wimps or something. Um, it's always something that has, you know, it's the

00:29:38.620 Eagles, right? It's like something, um, when you name it after animals, you name it after animals that

00:29:44.720 are, that, that we think of as like strong. Right. So, but when it comes to the Indians, that's how

00:29:52.400 they see it. So, so what's the moral of the story? Well, they'll complain no matter what,

00:29:56.600 that's the moral. And their victim narrative is always vindicated no matter what in, in their

00:30:02.320 minds, their victim narrative always, uh, is always proven correct no matter what happens.

00:30:11.720 All right. The recount has this viral video from a town hall in Jonesboro, Tennessee, where a, um,

00:30:18.540 a woman claims that she was the victim of Christian extremism at her OBGYN, which you gotta, you gotta

00:30:25.580 watch out for that Christian extremism. Um, so a little background here, Tennessee recently passed

00:30:32.740 a bill called the Medical Ethics Defense Act. And the point of this legislation is to protect medical

00:30:38.720 providers from being forced to be involved in or administer procedures that contradict their

00:30:44.340 religious and their moral beliefs. Um, namely, most obviously, this is about making sure that

00:30:50.620 medical providers aren't forced against their will to participate in abortions or quote unquote,

00:30:55.660 gender affirming care or that sort of thing. That's why you need the legislation. Well, this woman says 0.97

00:31:02.340 that she has fallen victim to this legislation. And this is the, it's kind of like when, when these kinds

00:31:11.260 of bills are proposed or when they're passed, uh, the left will talk about all these wild sort of worst

00:31:17.800 case scenarios that might occur if we allow people to have this kind of freedom. And then what do you

00:31:24.560 know? This woman comes along and says that she had one of those worst case scenario type things happen to 0.93

00:31:29.600 her. This has been picked up by multiple media outlets, all reporting it uncritically, of course, as though it's a

00:31:35.260 verified fact, even though it isn't, there's nothing verified here at all. But anyway, here's what she had to

00:31:40.140 say. Listen, I just found out that I'm pregnant again. Um, I've been with my partner for about 15

00:31:49.200 years, though we're not married. I just had my first visit. Um, and that provider told me that thanks

00:31:56.020 to that act, they were not comfortable treating me because I am an unwed mother and that goes against

00:32:01.740 their Christian values. Um, I, I'm lucky enough to live in a part of the state where I can seek care

00:32:12.300 across state lines. And that's what I'm doing, traveling to Virginia, traveling to Virginia for

00:32:18.360 my prenatal care, scared out of my mind that I will go into labor and not be able or have to deliver

00:32:24.860 in this state with a provider who feels that child's life is more valuable than mine. Um, while we do love

00:32:32.920 and want this child, I also have a 13 year old and I can't leave her behind. Um, I call Marsha's office

00:32:39.920 office twice a day. I am either, I'm either blocked or she has all calls going directly to voicemail.

00:32:49.600 I've never even reached a staffer. Um, and when I contacted Bill Haggerty's office, I was told that

00:32:55.740 he's not obligated to listen to his constituents. Um, love that. Okay. So she claims that her OBGYN

00:33:04.920 refused her care because she's an unwed mother. And then she claims that she tried to contact her

00:33:12.560 Senator's office, Bill, uh, you know, Bill Haggerty, Senator Haggerty, and was told, quote,

00:33:19.420 the Senator isn't obligated to listen to his constituents. Gasps, gasps from the crowd.

00:33:27.060 Now, first of all, I flat out don't believe any part of this story. I just don't believe it.

00:33:30.860 And that's where I'm at with, you know, people like this making any, any, any claim. I have,

00:33:38.320 this is where I've been for a long time. I just don't believe you, but I don't, I just don't

00:33:42.080 believe it. Well, how could you say that? I just don't, I don't believe anything you say. I think

00:33:46.780 you're a liar. I think you're a pathological liar. I think if you're a left-wing activist, 1.00

00:33:51.240 you're a pathological liar. I think you lie about everything. I don't trust anything you say. 1.00

00:33:55.320 Anything you tell me about something that happened in your personal life, especially something that

00:33:58.700 conveniently helps to prove some sort of point that you want to make. I just don't believe it.

00:34:03.280 And I don't even care what it is. I don't care if you told me that you had, you know,

00:34:07.220 a toast for breakfast this morning. I just don't believe it. I'm going to assume you're lying about

00:34:11.000 that. I don't believe anything you say ever about anything. Uh, so I will just flat out to your face

00:34:15.960 say, yeah, I think you're a liar. I, I think you're full of crap. I think you're lying. And, uh, 1.00

00:34:21.040 so that's the problem here. I just don't believe it.

00:34:23.180 Starting, starting at the end and working backwards, I guarantee that Senator Haggerty's

00:34:28.840 office did not say to her when she called, Oh, well, he's not obligated to listen to his

00:34:35.080 constituents. You pee on. He doesn't have to listen to the likes of you. Uh, that's not, 0.89

00:34:42.140 no, that is not how the conversation went. I a hundred percent guarantee that's not how the

00:34:46.400 conversation went. I guarantee that quote was not said, guarantee it. Uh, I don't know how it went.

00:34:51.460 I wasn't there. I just guarantee that that wasn't it. That was not said. So what actually was said,

00:34:56.720 like they said something else and then she interpreted it as, Oh, so you're saying that

00:35:01.660 he's not, he doesn't have to listen to me, but that's not what she said. And, uh, more importantly,

00:35:07.460 I don't believe that she was refused care because she's an unwed mother. I don't believe that to begin

00:35:13.340 with. That is not what Christian teaching dictates. There's nothing in the Bible or Christian

00:35:18.260 teaching that would prevent an OBGYN from giving care to an unwed mother. Quite the opposite.

00:35:23.960 In fact, quite the opposite. Um, this woman, I mean, this is, if you're a, uh, any, any mother is 0.68

00:35:33.480 wed or not wed, uh, Christians believe that, that, you know, you, you should get medical care.

00:35:41.200 And, uh, particularly if you're an unwed mother and this case, she's a whack job liberal, uh, and 1.00

00:35:49.280 you're, you are going to, and you're not going to kill your baby, you know, you're going to allow

00:35:55.940 your child to be born. Well, then certainly we want to encourage that and, uh, and give you all the,

00:36:04.340 I mean, that's why there's, uh, you know, pregnancy resource centers, Christian pro-life

00:36:10.160 pregnancy resource centers all over the country that are giving care to very often unwed mothers.

00:36:18.700 So this woman is revealing the basic misunderstanding. It's very common on the left, 0.99

00:36:24.900 the, the distinction they fail to grasp, but whichever Christian I know grasps perfectly well. 0.96

00:36:30.720 There's this basic distinction that I've, I've never met a Christian who doesn't understand this

00:36:34.040 distinction. It's like second nature to us. Uh, but, but the, the left, they don't,

00:36:39.880 they really struggle with it. They don't get it, which is what tells me this story is from her own

00:36:44.580 imagination. And the distinction is between the person and the act, the sin and the sinner,

00:36:52.700 right? As Christians, we cannot participate in an immoral act. That doesn't mean that we can't help

00:37:01.360 or serve those who commit immoral acts. Going back to the gay wedding cake example, 1.00

00:37:08.460 there's nothing preventing a, and this is a point made a million times about that particular case

00:37:12.740 or cases like it. It's always left wing activists who, who don't understand or pretending they don't

00:37:17.900 understand this distinction. There's nothing preventing a Christian baker from selling cupcakes

00:37:23.720 or muffins, or even a cake or any kind of baked good, uh, or anything else to a gay couple. 0.59

00:37:30.480 Right. If you're a Christian baker and a gay couple comes in and says, we'd like two cupcakes, 1.00

00:37:35.040 please. You, you, there's nothing at all that would prevent you, uh, morally or, um, you know,

00:37:42.300 theologically from selling them the cupcake. All right. That's, that's fine. But if you want me

00:37:48.920 to bake a cake specifically for an event celebrating a gay wedding, a gay quote unquote wedding, well, 0.69

00:37:58.860 now you're asking me to participate in the event. And I can't do that. I can, I can sell you baked goods,

00:38:07.620 but I can't participate in this event. So that's the distinction. An OBGYN who delivers care to an

00:38:18.360 unwed mother is not participating in, or in any way condoning the fact that she is unwed. 0.84

00:38:25.200 I've, I've, I've never met again, a Christian who doesn't understand this distinction. It's like 0.73

00:38:31.180 very, it's ingrained in us. I think it should be ingrained in any person, any rational person should

00:38:37.720 be, but, but in particular with Christians, this is, uh, this is kind of, this is ingrained in us

00:38:43.040 from, from, you know, the youngest ages, but this is a distinction that mystifies the left. They just

00:38:49.100 don't get it. And I said, I think it's just to some extent, there's this intentional obtuseness.

00:38:54.360 They're pretending they don't understand it. But I think a lot of them really don't understand it.

00:38:57.660 There really is this conceptual, they, they just, they don't get it going back again, back to the

00:39:02.800 gay. Like they, they can't, they, they can't understand that. Oh, I can, as the baker, I can sell 1.00

00:39:09.880 you a cupcake, but I can't, I can't custom make you a gay wedding cake. Um, they just, they can't, 1.00

00:39:17.760 they can't wrap their heads around that. They don't understand the difference between those

00:39:21.360 two things. Uh, so this is a story that kind of hinges on this misunderstanding, which tells me

00:39:27.140 that it comes from the left, not from a Christian. All that said, you know, when somebody brings up

00:39:32.460 their personal life in public, they invite the rest of us to make judgments about it.

00:39:38.700 If you bring up your personal life in public, you talk about your personal life,

00:39:41.840 then I am free to form an opinion about that fact because like any fact that you bring to my

00:39:49.220 attention, I can form an opinion about that's my right as an American. It's also, it's also

00:39:53.540 unavoidable. It's, it's, it's natural. I'm a human being. I have a mind. I can't help but form opinions.

00:39:59.640 I can't help but having a perspective on anything I'm aware of, right? As a conscious human being.

00:40:06.760 So, so if you don't want, if you don't want other people to have opinions about your personal life,

00:40:12.960 then don't tell them about it. The moment you tell them any detail about your personal life,

00:40:18.280 they're going to have an opinion about it. And if you're presenting that opinion, this,

00:40:23.220 this fact about yourself publicly, that not only do everyone, does everyone else have an opinion

00:40:27.000 about it now? Cause you told them, but it's perfectly reasonable for them. And they certainly

00:40:30.700 have every right to say that opinion publicly about your personal life.

00:40:36.760 And so I will speak about this woman. I don't know her name, but whoever she is,

00:40:40.260 I'm going to speak about your personal life. Uh, it is ridiculous that you have been with someone 0.71

00:40:46.400 for 15 years and have two kids and are not married. That is ridiculous. That's shameful. 0.99

00:40:50.720 You should be ashamed of yourself. It's wrong. It is a shameful fact about you that you have chosen

00:40:56.020 to share with the world and you've chosen to share it because you're trying to make some kind of

00:41:00.220 political point. And so I'm going to share back with you the fact that that is shameful and

00:41:05.260 ridiculous and you should be embarrassed. You should be embarrassed of that. Uh, that is unfair 0.99

00:41:09.860 to your children among other things by not getting married. All you're doing is telling your kids

00:41:17.060 that you make no promises that you give no assurances that their family will stay intact.

00:41:21.600 You are injecting anxiety and uncertainty into their lives. It's such a fundamental level

00:41:26.720 that you are harming them. You are doing grave, deep harm to your children, uh, this way.

00:41:34.360 So, you know, if the OBGYN told you that, then, uh, then they were right. Although I think the rest

00:41:43.280 of the story is completely made up. Uh, all right, let's move now to the comment section.

00:43:21.060 many people don't understand this reality. Well, yeah, and one of the reasons why people don't

00:43:25.000 understand it is that they've been brought up on the lie that all these dysfunctional third world 0.99

00:43:28.820 countries are only dysfunctional third world countries because they've been victimized by white 1.00

00:43:32.560 Western countries. And the reality is that one way or another, the people of a country will create

00:43:39.240 their country. Every country is a product of its people. So why is Somalia the way it is? Because 1.00

00:43:46.900 of Somalis, you know? And if you really love Somalia and thinks it's a great country, then you

00:43:53.340 shouldn't take that as an insult. You should be proud of that. But of course, you know, everyone

00:43:58.160 wants to have it both ways. These Somali immigrants who come here, they want to have it both ways.

00:44:01.660 And so they want to say that I'm so proud of my homeland. It's such a great place. Uh, but then

00:44:06.880 if I, if I, if they hear me say this or anyone else say, well, Somali is the way it is because of, 0.97

00:44:11.740 uh, because of Somalis, they'll say, oh, it's not our fault. This is all, it's all white Western 1.00

00:44:16.600 colonizers. But I thought you said you're proud of it. Aren't you proud of it?

00:44:22.480 It doesn't sound like you're proud of it, right? Trying to, um, deflect the, the, the blame

00:44:32.720 for why it ended up the way it did. It tells me that you are fundamentally not proud of this

00:44:38.200 country. And that's just the way it goes. Countries, people create countries and, uh, countries

00:44:44.120 are a reflection of their people. Um, and that's, you know, the, the only thing that can really

00:44:49.840 upend that formula is if you start importing people and mass from other countries into a

00:44:55.660 country, uh, which is what we've done here. But even then, I would say it's our, that we

00:45:02.920 as people, as Americans, it's up to us to, to speak out against this, put a stop to this,

00:45:09.960 to elect people who are going to stop it. Like we have, we have to fight back against this.

00:45:13.620 Um, the fact that a Somalian migrant can even legally run for mayor of Minneapolis shows how 1.00

00:45:21.420 far from our founding we have come. Yeah. I think, I think technically the guy was born in DC or

00:45:26.920 something, but I agree with your overall point. I think certainly for, for federal elected office,

00:45:32.000 certainly for fed, and you could certainly, and you can make an argument for mayors. You can make

00:45:35.940 an argument for any elected office, but without a doubt, federal elected office, national office,

00:45:41.680 we should only allow people who were born here to run and to hold those offices.

00:45:48.900 Uh, I didn't realize George Floyd was buried in a golden coffin. So I Googled it. It costs around

00:45:52.620 $25,000. It's plated with 14 karat gold. He was the third person to be buried in this particular

00:45:57.240 model of coffin after Michael Jackson and James Brown. Oh yeah. I remember it. Well, a golden casket

00:46:04.920 for a career criminal and drug addict. This is just one of those things that, um, uh, you know, our

00:46:14.580 grandchildren, my, my grandchildren are gonna, you tell them about that or it's that image of a golden 1.00

00:46:22.060 casket with this career criminal scumbag in it. And the mayor of the city on his knees before the 1.00

00:46:31.980 casket weeping, it's like, well, I'll say this. I hope it is my prayer that my grandchildren, when

00:46:41.360 they see an image like that, they'll be completely confounded by it. They'll be totally shocked and

00:46:46.760 confused because the other option is that they see that image and they go, yeah, well figures. Cause

00:46:53.160 look at how the country is now. Matt, I agree with you about monogamy over polygamy, but the problem

00:46:59.140 with you and other conservatives since is that you refuse to talk about the problems with women

00:47:03.220 and you won't defend the patriarchy. So your take is toothless and weak. That's why men listen to

00:47:08.120 Andrew Tate, not you. Yeah. You know, I hear this criticism, uh, and it just goes to show that so many

00:47:14.980 of my critics aren't criticizing me. They're not, they're criticizing what they think a guy like me

00:47:21.000 would say or would not say that is, that explains so much. And I'm not saying I'm ever validly

00:47:28.540 criticized. There's plenty of things you could criticize me for legitimately, but so much of

00:47:32.960 the criticism I do receive, particularly from the rights, from other people on the right. So much of

00:47:40.180 that is not actually a criticism. It's a criticism of what they think, what they assume I must say or must

00:47:48.420 not say, right? Because this rebuttal, which I've heard a lot this week and I hear in general is a total

00:47:56.420 fantasy. It may not be a fantasy for other conservative commentators. I agree. So it's true that you can

00:48:06.560 find other conservative commentators and commentators in general who are very willing to talk about the

00:48:11.700 duties of men and responsibilities of men, but they'll never put the shoe on the other foot. They'll never talk

00:48:17.700 about women, what women should do. They won't criticize feminism. Certainly. Uh, they definitely

00:48:23.100 won't, won't defend the patriarchy. They won't defend gender roles. The idea that men are meant to

00:48:28.620 do certain things. Women are meant to do certain, you know, so, so that's true of plenty of, of people. 1.00

00:48:34.720 It's not true of me though. That's not the case for me. Like you really think I'm afraid to attack

00:48:42.240 feminism to call women out, defend the patriarchy, defend, uh, uh, male headship, male leadership in 1.00

00:48:51.280 the home. I do it all the time, all the, just spend five minutes on YouTube looking for segments

00:48:57.600 where I call out women and feminism and I defend male leadership and male headship in the home. 0.65

00:49:02.700 Where I talk about, uh, the, the need for respect from women to their husbands and what happens when men

00:49:13.700 are not respected in their own home. Spend just before you accuse me for anyone accuses me of, well, you

00:49:21.000 don't, you ignore this part of the problem. Just, it just five minutes, just give, because if you're going to

00:49:26.540 spend a couple of minutes writing something or, or, or criticizing me, I think it's fair to say, just, just five

00:49:32.040 minutes, just, just go to Google, YouTube, just take a look at what I've said about those subjects.

00:49:37.600 And you're going to find like collectively hours of footage of me talking about this.

00:49:43.780 Uh, I do it all the time. I got no problem doing it. Go back.

00:49:47.640 Just like I was just a couple of months ago, I did a big monologue, uh, where I was criticizing

00:49:52.380 Megan, some of what Megan Kelly has said about men. And from my perspective, putting the blame on men

00:49:59.060 too much. And that was a whole thing, not just one day. It was like a whole, it was a whole thing.

00:50:03.820 So you can go back, go back and listen to that monologue and what I say there. So

00:50:06.500 the problem is that I can't talk about everything. Every time I talk about anything. Okay. This is

00:50:14.740 so, so when I'm choosing to speak about a certain subject, I, I can't say literally everything about

00:50:23.580 it because then every show would be 57 hours long. So all we can do just if you, if you see a tweet of

00:50:32.040 mine, or you listen to a monologue, or particularly if you listen to a clip of a monologue and you hear

00:50:38.440 what I'm saying, or you see what I wrote, you can't assume that that's all I've ever said on the subject

00:50:44.600 or all I think that needs to be said about it. It's just what I'm saying right now on this

00:50:49.520 particular topic, focusing on this particular angle. Um, so finally Captain Planet used to

00:51:00.340 piss my dad off so much. Now I understand why. Yeah. My, my parents had a whole bunch of shows in

00:51:06.020 the nineties that they wouldn't let us watch. And I don't even remember all of them, but there was

00:51:11.980 plenty of shows, plenty of shows we were able to watch, but there were also plenty of shows that,

00:51:16.480 you know, all my friends were watching and I, I, you know, we were not allowed to watch them.

00:51:22.680 And I've had the same realization as an adult that many times over that, uh, I get it as a child.

00:51:30.900 I hated it. Right. I hated that. Whatever. All, all my friends in fifth grade loved, uh, Ren and Stimpy

00:51:39.160 on Nickelodeon. And for my parents, no, you're not watching that. You're not watching that garbage.

00:51:45.100 So that I found that very annoying at the time. I definitely get it now. And usually when my dad 0.97

00:51:50.760 would ban us from watching a show, it wasn't because he was saying the show was necessarily

00:51:56.500 intrinsically evil or satanic or something. It was usually that he would walk into the room

00:52:01.840 and we would be watching a show and he would stand there. And it's always made us nervous when he

00:52:12.660 would like, if he walked into the room, we're watching a show and he would just glances over

00:52:17.900 and then leaves the room. It's like, okay, fine. But if he stops and watches for about 30 seconds,

00:52:24.040 then we're all nervous. Then we're like, okay, now this, this is going to be, because what we know is

00:52:28.180 he's not going to watch it for 30 seconds ago. This is a great show. I really liked this. Uh,

00:52:31.960 no, what would usually happen is he'd watch it for 30 seconds and then he'd go, what is this crap? 0.99

00:52:35.260 Turn this off. No, you're not watching this anymore. And then based on that, based on 30 0.98

00:52:40.080 seconds, we would never be allowed on our television ever again, based on a 30 second glimpse of whatever

00:52:45.140 the show happened to be. And, uh, I totally get it now. I complete, I do the exact same thing

00:52:50.220 with my kids. I, I just did it the other day. We've been, we've been staying at a place

00:52:55.660 this summer that has cable that has basic cable and which is, which is an interesting experience

00:53:01.780 blast from the past. And so my kids, the younger ones, they were watching bluey. Um, and blue is a

00:53:08.940 great, a great show for kids. I certainly approve of blue. I think it's a good quality show for

00:53:14.580 children, but then another show came on after it. And I don't even know what it was, but I, I walked

00:53:21.320 into the room. I still don't know what it was. I watched it for a few seconds and I did the same

00:53:28.240 thing. I was like, what is this? Turn this off. Oh, why? But dad, we liked it. Don't you want to

00:53:34.320 watch more of the show? No, I don't just, you're never, you're not watching that again. We're done

00:53:38.220 with that. Why? Because, because the glimpse was enough for me to know that this is a really dumb

00:53:45.940 and obnoxious and just kind of ugly show ugly. It's like the animation is ugly. It's dumb. It's 0.99

00:53:51.720 obnoxious. And I, and I, I, in this case, I didn't even notice anything particularly morally

00:53:58.020 objectionable. I just don't watch. I don't want my kids watching dumb, obnoxious things. I don't need

00:54:02.400 you as a child sitting there, right? With hypnotized silently staring at this screen while there's

00:54:11.320 dumb, obnoxious things being injected right into your brain. I just don't need that. I don't need 1.00

00:54:19.140 that for you. You don't need that. Turn it off. Go play outside. Uh, so yeah, I totally get all that

00:54:26.760 now. And I would assume every parent does this, but then I hear from, whenever I say this, I hear

00:54:33.320 from parents that say, well, how could you, how could you do that? Could you stop your child from

00:54:38.860 watching something they want to watch? It's like, I don't know. Uh, probably about 95% of the shows

00:54:46.640 on TV or on streaming, uh, even the kids shows, I'm not gonna let my kids watch. And again, most of it

00:54:54.340 is not because it's woke or whatever. Although there's plenty of the woke stuff. They can't watch

00:54:57.960 that. Most of it is just, this is dumb and obnoxious and that's all. And you don't need to 0.99

00:55:02.940 spend your time watching something dumb and obnoxious. Read a book, go play outside. 1.00

00:57:09.840 cancellation. Well, we have another alleged police brutality case for the Daily Cancellation today.

00:57:20.800 This week, there has been lots of outrage over a video of William McNeil Jr., 22 years old,

00:57:25.600 getting his window broken and receiving a swift punch in the face during a traffic stop. As the

00:57:30.080 story goes, McNeil's only crime was failing to have his headlights on during the day. And the story was

00:57:35.840 accompanied by this video, which, as per tradition, only shows the alleged quote-unquote brutality,

00:57:41.040 but none of the events leading up to it. Here it is. When he pulled me over, he walked up. I opened

00:57:46.720 my door because my window don't work, right? And then I said, so what I did wrong? He said,

00:57:52.320 well, for one, your headlights are off under this weather. I'm like,

00:57:58.000 there's multiple people's headlights off, first of all. And then there's no rain.

00:58:02.880 It doesn't matter. You're still required to have headlights on.

00:58:06.640 Can you pull that low up? Huh? Can you pull that low up? Yeah,

00:58:09.280 when you step out of the car, I will. Can you pull that? Can you call your supervisor?

00:58:14.800 Can you call your supervisor? All right, go for it.

00:58:20.240 Exit the vehicle now. Exit the vehicle. Show me your hands. Here.

00:58:26.880 So we see him sitting in his car, his window is smashed, and then he gets hit in the face,

00:58:30.320 then he's dragged out of the car and arrested. Based on this video, the race hustlers have gone

00:58:34.560 to work, hysterically shrieking and saying all the things you expect them to say. Speaking of

00:58:38.480 things you expect, ambulance chasing parasite Ben Crump parachuted onto the scene and is now

00:58:43.680 representing McNeil. Crump put out a statement saying that, quote, what happened to William McNeil

00:58:48.080 Jr. is a disturbing reminder that even the most basic rights, like asking why you've been pulled over,

00:58:52.080 can be met with violence for black Americans. McNeil was calm and compliant,

00:58:55.440 yet instead of answers, he got his window smashed and was punched in the face.

00:59:00.320 Now, not to spoil the ending here, but as anyone with an IQ above single digits already assumes,

00:59:04.240 Crump is flat out lying. We'll get back to that in a moment. But first, here's the latest on this

00:59:09.600 case from Fox News. Quote, police in Jacksonville, Florida are investigating a viral video in which

00:59:13.680 an officer is seen punching a male driver in the face during a traffic stop. Footage that began

00:59:17.200 circulating on social media over the weekend showed William McNeil Jr. staring at the camera on February 19th,

00:59:22.320 as an officer is seen smashing his driver's side window and demanding that he exit the vehicle now.

00:59:26.720 The officer then strikes him in the face before he dragged out of the car. Quote,

00:59:30.240 in my direction, the agency immediately began both a criminal and administrative review of the

00:59:33.760 officer's actions. These administrative reviews are ongoing, but the state attorney's office has

00:59:37.520 determined that none of the involved officers violated criminal law. Jacksonville Sheriff T.K.

00:59:42.000 Waters said Monday, while releasing a longer body cam video of the incident, Waters said the

00:59:46.960 arresting officer involved in the incident, whom he identified as D. Bowers, has been stripped of his law

00:59:51.760 enforcement authority pending the outcome of the administrator review. So the officer has been

00:59:58.480 relieved of his duty while they review the case, but they've already said that no crime occurred here,

01:00:03.200 on the part of the officer at least. They also released, as you heard, the body cam footage,

01:00:08.160 which shows the whole interaction. Because it turns out that if you see a short clip of an altercation

01:00:12.480 that only shows the moment that the altercation turns violent without any of the lead up to contextualize

01:00:17.040 it, then you don't and can't really understand what happened and who is at fault. This is a lesson

01:00:24.000 that every rational person in the country should have learned by now. In fact, you should have

01:00:28.640 learned it about a thousand times over. But unfortunately, there are a lot of irrational

01:00:32.880 people out there, so, and dishonest people. So here is the body cam footage. And as you watch this,

01:00:38.080 remember that Ben Crump said that McNeil was perfectly compliant. So watch this and tell me

01:00:43.200 if compliant is the word you would use to describe it.

01:00:50.480 Is there a reason why you're popping the door open like that?

01:00:52.080 Yeah, I don't have a window if that works. Is there a reason that you're pulling me over?

01:00:55.600 Yeah, absolutely there's a reason why I'm pulling you over. For one thing, inclement weather,

01:00:59.440 you don't have your lights on. Two things, you're not wearing your seatbelt.

01:01:01.600 It's daylight. I don't need the lights. And it's not raining. It's not raining.

01:01:05.600 Okay, I'm not arguing with you. I'm telling you why I'm pulling you over.

01:01:08.320 Give me your driver's license, registration, and proof of insurance.

01:01:10.160 No, no. Call your supervisor. Why?

01:01:12.160 Excuse me? Call your supervisor.

01:01:14.000 Step out of the vehicle. No.

01:01:15.040 Step out of the vehicle.

01:01:17.520 25 seconds. For 94, the driver just slammed the door and locked it.

01:01:25.440 I've already told you. Right now you're under arrest for resisting. Sir, this is your last warning to

01:01:30.480 open the vehicle and exit before we're going to break the window. Open the door and exit or we are going to

01:01:34.880 break the window. Open the door and exit or we are going to break the window. Open the door and exit.

01:01:39.680 You are under arrest for resisting. Open the door and exit. You are under arrest for resisting.

01:01:46.000 Open the door and exit. You are under arrest for resisting. I'm about to break the window.

01:01:55.520 exit the vehicle now exit the vehicle what is your reason

01:02:05.360 right compliant sure uh just for review mcneil was pulled over because he didn't have his seat

01:02:18.760 belt on and he didn't have his headlights on it's daylight but the officer says that it's

01:02:22.480 inclement weather you can see in the background that it's overcast mcneil refuses to provide his

01:02:26.720 license and registration he argues with the police officer refuses to get out of the car then he shuts

01:02:30.740 and locks the car door compliant we're told saying no and locking your door is compliance

01:02:38.240 mcneil is then told to exit the vehicle seven times seven times count them and only after the

01:02:44.560 seventh command do the officers finally break the window they then pull him out of the vehicle and

01:02:50.180 they arrest him and after searching his car by the way they find marijuana which is another detail

01:02:54.280 that the outrage mob and race hustlers fail to mention now i know that you know you're expecting

01:02:59.600 me to side with the police in this case and to display no sympathy at all for poor william mcneil

01:03:06.200 jr and if that's what you're expecting well i'm here to tell you that you are exactly right uh i will

01:03:11.200 have no surprises for you today i have zero sympathy for this guy i'm on the cop side entirely the entire

01:03:17.220 thing was mcneil's fault every step of the way including the punch of the face which he richly

01:03:22.160 deserved yes he did the punches it's the only thing that you could even begin to argue might have

01:03:29.300 been excessive and even if it was it's like it's nobody okay there's a punch in the face he's fine

01:03:34.740 he didn't go to the hospital he's fine i would still give the cop even if i thought the punch was

01:03:39.120 totally out of line definitely wrong i would still say all right fine so give the cop a slap on the wrist

01:03:44.460 put him on a desk for a day and then send him back out it's fine and if mcneil's crying about it i

01:03:50.940 would still say like get over it okay just get over it but despite what you may have heard from all

01:03:55.860 the legal experts on social media police are allowed to legally use that kind of force when

01:03:59.940 they're trying to gain compliance from somebody who's resisting like actually yeah they are allowed

01:04:04.600 to punch you in the face i mean you could complain about it it shouldn't be that way but they

01:04:08.800 can they're allowed to do that but they don't have free reign to do it whenever they want they

01:04:13.360 can't just walk up to you on the street and punch you in the face for no reason but in the process of

01:04:17.140 trying to gain compliance they are allowed to do that and here's the thing you notice in the clip

01:04:21.720 it worked okay mcneil refused to cooperate through the entire interaction and then he got punched in the

01:04:28.000 face and it's i mean it's it's comical actually is the moment he got punched in the face he immediately

01:04:33.520 started obeying the mo he's sitting there he's a tough guy right he's not listening seven commands

01:04:40.360 doesn't listen they break the window still doesn't listen then he gets punched in the face and they

01:04:46.320 say put the hands up and he goes right away puts the hand up why is that because there are some people

01:04:51.140 who just won't listen until they get smacked uh it's human nature i you know and in fact there's a

01:04:59.160 quote from the from the sheriff that we didn't play but where he says that look sometimes it's an ugly

01:05:04.540 thing like sometimes dealing with non-compliant people dealing it's like it can be ugly to see

01:05:10.000 and it might upset you a little bit might make your tummy hurt you didn't say this part of it but to

01:05:14.000 see someone get punched in the face but that's just yeah sometimes it gets a little bit ugly like

01:05:19.100 that's just that's the reality that's human nature cops deal with these kinds of people every day

01:05:23.540 and william mcneil is one of them but the punch was the result of a series of events that led up to

01:05:29.980 it and let's go back and talk about those events mcneil was pulled over lawfully for failing to

01:05:34.840 have his headlight on during uh headlights on during inclement weather and you could see that

01:05:39.920 it's overcast likely rainy and that means according to the law yeah if it's if it's in in most states

01:05:47.600 probably all of them i don't know uh in florida anyway if it's if it's overcast and it's kind of

01:05:53.020 raining off and on you're supposed to have your headlights on now have we all been guilty of

01:05:59.060 driving without our headlights during the daylight when it's overcast sure i've done it many times

01:06:03.480 is it uh annoying to get pulled over for that reason yeah was the officer officer being sort of

01:06:10.740 overly scrupulous and pedantic by trying to enforce this law sure fine and you know most of us have been

01:06:18.600 there i got pulled over for going nine miles over the speed limit a little while ago people go nine

01:06:23.360 miles over the speed limit all the time don't get pulled over i go nine miles over limit all the time

01:06:26.560 i go i go much more than nine miles over the limit i'm ashamed to admit and usually don't get pulled

01:06:31.460 over but this time i did that's just the way it goes just the way it goes sometimes they get i i assume

01:06:40.300 you know i i'm i'm willing to bet probably that this that that william mcneil is probably like he

01:06:47.600 doesn't he's driven many times in overcast doesn't put his headlights on and doesn't get pulled over

01:06:52.040 probably the first time it ever happened which also by the way cuts against the idea that oh

01:06:56.920 it's because i'm black well yeah but you as a black man have probably done this a million times 0.98

01:07:01.020 and not gotten pulled over this time you did but you were black all those other times too and you 0.90

01:07:05.540 didn't get pulled over then so there must be some other explanation as to why this time you did

01:07:09.060 and look when you get pulled over for the ticky tack reason which has happened to all of us 0.90

01:07:16.660 it's not an experience exclusive to black people um when that happens it's annoying you have two 0.99

01:07:22.500 choices one option which is the one that i chose and i've chosen i choose every time i've got pulled

01:07:28.120 over for seat belts before i've gotten pulled over for uh you know various headlight and a brake light

01:07:34.680 out i mean things like that um and so the first option the one that i've always chosen in these

01:07:41.880 situations when they happen doesn't happen often but when they do is to be respectful and compliant

01:07:46.220 and not argumentative and what's likely to happen if you choose that path is that you get a warning and

01:07:54.360 that's it like if william mcneil had just rolled down his window or he claims he couldn't roll down

01:08:00.300 because it was broken i don't believe that but fine he opens the door and and he said oh you didn't

01:08:04.440 have the lights on he says oh i didn't realize i didn't realize i needed to have him on sorry

01:08:08.640 about that oh you're not wearing your seat belt oh you know actually i just took it off because i

01:08:14.080 stupid me uh i apologize if he had said that you know what would happen probably nothing like the

01:08:21.440 cop would have said my license registration would have run the thing assume he doesn't have a warrant 0.99

01:08:25.820 and he's not not on a suspended license uh probably nothing would have happened they probably

01:08:31.060 wouldn't even found the weed in his car because if he was respectful and compliant just went up just

01:08:36.080 went along with it and didn't it didn't act super suspicious then they'd have no reason to search and

01:08:41.660 they probably would have sent him all the way the whole thing ends up being a slightly irritating 10

01:08:44.920 minute diversion and then you're on your way with no further consequences worst case you get a small

01:08:52.260 fine or citation and you could just pay it both of his cases these were not moving violations so you

01:08:59.000 could just pay it to be like 50 bucks and you'll be fine not even gonna hurt not even gonna hit your

01:09:03.160 insurance or if you really want to you can go to court and plead your case court is the place for

01:09:09.240 that that's the great thing about living in a first world society we actually have a specific place

01:09:13.880 that exists specifically to hear your pleas that place is not on the side of the road it's in a court

01:09:20.580 so that's the first option the second option the one that mcneil chose and so many other

01:09:25.220 alleged victims of alleged police brutality choose is to argue and refuse to comply and do everything

01:09:30.720 in your power to take a minor traffic violation and turn it into serious legal trouble for yourself

01:09:36.600 you can deliberately escalate a very low-stakes situation until you find yourself lying on the

01:09:42.760 pavement in handcuffs if you're at least slightly more emotionally and mentally immature than a toddler

01:09:48.060 you probably won't go with that route you'll be able to engage in a little bit of analytical

01:09:53.820 reasoning which will tell you that if you're if you're you know annoyed by a small traffic citation

01:10:00.180 you're not going to improve your situation or your mood by adding in a rest and a bunch of

01:10:05.680 additional charges on top of it just like if you're annoyed because you accidentally stepped in a puddle

01:10:10.900 and you got one of your shoes a little bit wet you're not going to improve the situation by then

01:10:15.520 jumping into a pool in all your clothes because now your shoes still wet along with the rest of you

01:10:21.580 if you're annoyed by being slightly wet don't make yourself more wet if you're annoyed by receiving

01:10:27.420 a very minor citation don't add a bunch of other serious citation citations on top of it

01:10:33.380 and when the cop tells you to get out of the car closing your door and locking it will not help

01:10:40.260 anything they're not going to say oh never mind there's no way that ends there's no way that it

01:10:48.820 could possibly end except with you on the ground in handcuffs you have now chosen a path where the

01:10:55.260 best and actually there are other ways it could end the best way it ends the best available you know

01:11:02.180 result is that you get arrested so why why do that why go out of your way to make everything worse

01:11:13.280 for yourself now sure these days as we've seen there's always the possibility that you get a

01:11:18.000 viral police brutality incident out of it and then you can sue and maybe make millions of dollars

01:11:21.620 but i don't think that mcneil even had that in mind exactly because i think that would almost give

01:11:27.080 him too much credit that would make him manipulative and immoral but at least rational in a very

01:11:31.660 self-serving way i don't think that was his plan i i also don't think that he was staging some kind

01:11:36.920 of protest against injustice this was not civil disobedience in the way that political activists

01:11:41.380 might engage in it there was no plan that's the thing and these there never is with these kinds

01:11:46.980 of people this this is just a temper tantrum this is like a toddler throwing a toy train across the

01:11:50.720 room because he's angry that it's nap time there's no plan or strategy when the toddler throws the train

01:11:56.380 it doesn't make any sense for you to go well how do you think that that's going to mean that you don't

01:12:00.260 have to take a nap now all you're doing is proving to me child that you need a nap even more because

01:12:04.860 you're throwing the train but with my toddlers i don't have that conversation because they're not

01:12:10.660 there is no plan they're just there there's no rational calculation at work and this is what cops deal 0.99

01:12:17.300 with every day obnoxious irrational tiresome jerks who make everything harder than it needs to be and 0.99

01:12:24.760 everything worse for themselves every step of the way there is no way to deal with these kinds of 0.98

01:12:30.420 people except by imposing your will on them that's the only language that a guy like william mcneil jr

01:12:36.500 understands and that's why this is all his fault and that is why he is today finally canceled that

01:12:45.200 will do it for the show today thanks for watching thanks for listening talk to you tomorrow have a great

01:12:49.460 day again godspeed
