British police launch a sting to catch straight men who compliment women, as migrant criminals terrorize their country.

00:00:00.000Today on the Matt Walsh Show, British police launch a sting operation to catch straight men who compliment women as migrant criminals terrorize their country.
00:00:06.800This is what they're focused on. Also, the media is very upset that the Trump administration will be removing all the anti-white propaganda from Smithsonian Museum exhibits.
00:00:14.080And The Daily Beast accuses Ron DeSantis of committing mass murder against veterans.
00:00:18.720The one relevant detail here is that the veterans Ron DeSantis has executed were serial killers.
00:00:23.160We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:02:37.000Around a decade ago, when viral videos were just starting to become commonplace, a woman uploaded a video entitled 10 Hours of Walking at NYC as a Woman.
00:02:47.460Like many viral videos, it wasn't actually as spontaneous as it looked.
00:02:51.680It was the brainchild of an anti-harassment organization by the name of Hollaback, along with an ad agency called Rob Bliss Creative.
00:02:58.920And the premise, as the name of the video implies, is that a young white woman named Shoshana Roberts would walk around New York, all areas of Manhattan, they said, wearing jeans and a crew neck.
00:03:13.400In front of her, someone would be carrying a hidden camera, which would capture all of the misogynistic men who would inevitably catcall her.
00:03:20.220So it was intended to be feminist propaganda, in other words.
00:03:23.960And you might remember the video, but if not, just for context, here's some of it. Watch.
00:22:54.340By saying that it was white people oppressing black people?
00:22:56.340Every single thing is like, oh, no, no, no, this is all because white people bad. And that's just not the truth.
00:23:04.340The truth. Like, for example, every single exhibit, I have a list of every single one. Like, people migrated from Cuba because white people bad.
00:23:21.340The first thing you see is the gay flag-
00:23:23.340All right, so Jillian is completely correct, of course.
00:23:28.340The other people on the panel are looking at her dumbfounded.
00:23:33.340And that's not a put-on, by the way. They're not feigning ignorance. They really just have never heard anything that she's saying.
00:23:42.340The things that she's saying, they've never-
00:23:44.340When they're looking at her, stupefied, right? They can't even-
00:23:48.340They can't process it. Well, that's because they've actually never heard it before.
00:23:52.340The level of sheer, sheer overwhelming historical ignorance of most, of most, quote, educated Americans these days just cannot be understated.
00:24:03.340And that's not to let them off the hook or to excuse it.
00:24:06.340But the fact is that if you went to public school any time over the past 40 years, your education was effectively worthless.
00:24:13.340Your American history education was especially worthless.
00:24:16.340And that's why you never even heard some of the most basic facts of the world's-
00:24:21.340You know, you've never heard a lot. There's a lot of basic facts you've never heard.
00:24:24.340And you certainly didn't hear some of the most basic facts about one of the world's longest-running and most prevalent institutions, which is slavery.
00:24:32.340An institution so prevalent that when two sides of the world that had been out of contact with each other for thousands of years, when they finally met,
00:24:43.340they both had independently come up with this idea of forcing other people to work for free.
00:24:49.340Right? And that's one of the reasons why, and I always talk about, I love reading about explorers and these stories of people who made first contact with tribes in far-flung corners of the world.
00:25:00.340And I'm endlessly fascinated by these kinds of stories.
00:25:07.340And one of the reasons is that I think it's really interesting to see the universals.
00:25:12.340Right? You have all the differences. There are a lot of very significant differences, of course.
00:25:19.340But there are certain things that you've got these cultures that were separated thousands and thousands and thousands of years, had no contact with each other whatsoever.
00:25:26.340They didn't even know each other existed. And yet there are certain things that they, like certain conclusions that they had arrived at.
00:25:34.340And, you know, it's the same thing when you read about, you know, Captain Cook or any European explorer stumbling upon tribes on small Pacific islands, or you hear about the British explorers who were exploring the interior of Africa, you know, in the, in the 19th century, 18th and 19th century tribes so isolated, you know, that they believe they were the only people on earth.
00:25:59.340And, and, and then you look at the areas where they had reached kind of similar conclusions independently on a number of things.
00:26:11.340And slavery is one of them, unfortunately.
00:26:14.340And that's, that's a sad statement. It's a sad, it's a statement about human nature. It's one of the, it's a troubling statement about human nature.
00:26:21.340We have a fallen nature as human beings. We know that as Christians, so it shouldn't be a great shock.
00:26:26.340But either way, um, one of the primary things that humans across the world had in common with each other for thousands of years is that they all had figured out that it's a lot easier to get stuff done if you force someone else to do it.
00:26:39.340So it's like you have these, these two cultures and they're trying to communicate, trying to relate, not understanding each other.
00:26:46.340And then they see each other slaves and they go, Oh, you have those two. Oh, that's so neat. We're twins, slave twins.
00:26:55.340That's actually a direct quote, by the way, that's, uh, that's from one of Vasco da Gama's expeditions, I believe.
00:27:00.840Anyway, so this was universal. Okay. And yet universal now there are a lot of, we'll talk about, there were a lot of differences in how these institutions, uh, were, how they operated.
00:27:12.840And there were a lot of differences in how long these various different cultures had slavery, but the universal is that everybody throughout the world for a long period of time had slavery.
00:27:25.080And it was, and, and they got the slaves different ways. Maybe they had the slaves, but, but slavery is okay. You have to work. You have to perform some sort of labor for you and we're not going to pay you. And you're not, you don't have a choice. Like that's slavery. And it was everywhere. It was everywhere. Every single place on the globe where there were people had this. Um, and yet somehow this fact has escaped.
00:27:49.080Most of the educated people in our country today. This really, I think, fascinating fact. There's so much to be learned from that.
00:28:02.200Right. That's so much we can learn about human nature, important things that we should learn about human nature. We could learn if we would just face this fact. Um, and yet we don't, because we have a lot of people today who don't even,
00:28:17.220they truly don't know you've grown adults that went to, you know, went to, uh, went to, went to, went to universities and everything else. And they don't even know this. And that's, again, it's not to let them off the hook.
00:28:30.340Yes. Their education failed them. Their schools failed them, but so did mine. I went to public school and then I dropped out of community college and that's the extent of my formal education.
00:28:41.760Um, yet I know these basic things about world history. You probably know them as well. Uh, so we know them.
00:28:50.600And yet you have people that have like a decade of formal higher education, uh, under their belt and they've got degrees and masters and everything else.
00:28:59.640And they don't even know this basic stuff. And that's because if you know this stuff and if I know it, it's because we are curious about things and we like to keep learning.
00:29:12.620And these people, the kinds of people on that CNN panel are totally incurious, just absolutely empty headed, incurious, jello brained ignoramuses who really just don't know anything.
00:29:25.760They, they, they, they really don't know anything at all. Their, their base of knowledge is as deep as a thimble. They don't know anything at all.
00:29:33.580Um, and now that they've been told the truth, they certainly won't follow up. Not going to follow up on it. No, they'll climb back into their intellectual shells because these truths about slavery are very startling, very scary to them.
00:29:47.080They threaten to dismantle the entire artifice of, uh, of white guilt. The whole narrative. I mean, the whole narrative of white guilt depends on the idea that white people are uniquely guilty for things like slavery. It, it, it completely depends on that.
00:30:04.420And if that is not the case, then the whole thing breaks down. So they run away screaming. They don't want to hear anymore.
00:30:13.100They certainly don't want to hear that, you know, every predominantly white nation on earth had abolished slavery by the mid 1800s.
00:30:21.840Meanwhile, slavery persisted legal institutional slavery persisted in, uh, Arabic and African countries for another century, sometimes much longer.
00:30:37.300Slavery was not fully criminalized across the African continent.
00:30:43.100Okay. Get this. Slavery was not fully criminalized across the African continent until 2007.
00:30:56.300They were on like season six of American Idol when Africa finally got around to fully criminalizing slavery.
00:31:03.440That's how recent it was. Okay. And it's the same in the Middle East. And that's why I've, I've said so many times, the only thing unique about the relationship between, uh, white Western society and slavery, the only thing unique about it is that those societies practiced it for a much, much, much shorter period of time.
00:31:31.440And also a much less brutal form of it. Because the other thing that you're going to hear about it. Well, the other, yes, but the slavery, chattel slavery in the United States was so much more brutal than what they did in other parts of the world.
00:31:44.440You have no clue what you're talking about. First of all, it's like, like, as if chattel, there's something distinct. Oh, well, this was chattel.
00:31:51.100As opposed to what? What do you think they were doing? What do you, what do you think the Arabic slave traders were doing?
00:31:56.900What do you think they were doing? Well, you think that was a nice and gentle, you think when they captured slaves and like dragged them across the Saharan desert, it was, it was nice and friendly.
00:32:06.160No, the Arabic slavers were, again, if you have even the smallest bit of knowledge about this, you know, that, that, uh, slavery in Africa, slavery in Arabic countries was often much more brutal, much more.
00:32:24.020Um, things like, you know, just re, uh, routinely as a matter of course, uh, castrating male slaves. This was, this was a routine. This was the, this was the custom. This is what they did. It wasn't like there were a few horrific cases of it. This is just what they did.
00:32:42.760And, um, and, um, and that's, and that's only the beginning of it. So this was absolutely brutal. And, uh, and on top of that, they, it went on for so much longer. It went on for a hundred years longer.
00:32:59.760And the only reason that it even stopped is because, uh, they were forced to stop. It's because the European powers, uh, put it, abolished slavery. And then eventually they said, you know what, we're not going to let anyone else do it.
00:33:15.300They're like, this is, we're done with this guys. We're moving on. We're, you know, we're going to be civilized people. Now we're not doing slavery anymore. And so slavery was abolished that the, the, uh, the, the, the slave trade, the Atlantic slave trade, it was abolished over the objections of,
00:33:29.760Arabic and Arabic and African countries who wanted it to continue. Um, and that is just the fact. So, and as much as anyone on the left might want to say, well, that's got nothing to do with that. It's irrelevant.
00:33:43.840That's got everything to do with it because your whole narrative is that white Americans are uniquely guilty, but that's your whole narrative. And it's just not true.
00:33:54.120Um, and if the, you know, the history of slavery in Africa, if the, if the history of slavery in the Middle East, if the history of slavery in Asia is irrelevant now, because it was a long time ago, even though, you know, in Africa, it's like a long time ago was 2007.
00:34:15.040Uh, but if it's irrelevant now, cause it's a long time ago, then it's, then it's also irrelevant, you know, then, then the form of slavery practice in the United States, which by the way, only one to 2% of Americans ever owned slaves.
00:34:30.800Like the tiniest little fraction of Americans ever even owned slaves. 99% of Americans never had anything to do with it.
00:34:41.400So, and yet this is our, somehow, somehow, somehow this, this thing, slavery wasn't it? Slavery was an institution in the United States of like America as a United States of America, as a country had slavery for like 90 years.
00:34:56.340That's it. That's it. Then we're comparing this to countries that had it for 900 years or longer.
00:35:05.820Uh, the whole thing's absurd. Now I've been seeing clips of, uh, Beto O'Rourke circulating for some reason, and he's on some kind of tour going around speaking and he has a message for Democrats.
00:35:18.120Here is that message. Listen, we are in a basketball game right now.
00:35:22.720If you'll excuse the metaphor where the refs have left the arena and the other side is just clobbering the, punching us in the face, kicking us in the nuts.
00:35:31.440And we're kind of throwing our hands up and we're asking the crowd, the people of America, Hey, do you see what's going on here?
00:35:36.720This is unfair. This isn't the rules that we agreed to play by.
00:35:40.980Well, who cares about the rules right now? Punch back, kick back, dunk over their heads and win some power.
00:35:49.100So this is Beto's strategy. This is the strategy he wants Democrats to adopt.
00:35:56.180The strategy is cussing a lot. That's the strategy.
00:36:00.520And listen, we should really take this guy seriously. I mean, it would be smart for Democrats to heed his advice.
00:36:05.020This guy has absolutely killer political instincts. He's really killer.
00:36:09.080I mean, he's his political, political, political instincts are so killer that he's killed his own career with them.
00:36:13.740I mean, this is a guy, this guy that knows how to, he's, this, this is a real killer.
00:36:19.100I mean, this is someone who, who has lost every race he's been in since 2019, which doesn't even sound that impressive because you think, well, since 2019, how many races could he've actually been in since 2019?
00:36:30.740Well, the answer is three. He's lost a Senate race, a presidential race, and a governor's race.
00:36:35.920He won the, he won the triple crown of losing. Uh, he he's lost at every level of government.
00:36:43.020Now we just need him to lose a mayor's race and then a school board race and then a, a, a potato sack race.
00:36:49.200And it'll have finally completed the ultimate journey of losing.
00:36:53.120The ultimate loser's journey will have finally been completed by Beto O'Rourke.
00:36:57.260And I believe in him. I believe, I think he can do it.
00:36:59.320He will have fulfilled his destiny as America's greatest loser, history's greatest loser.
00:37:04.660So that's pretty inspiring. And as for his advice here, um, obviously the suggestion that Democrats are too worried about the rules is just asinine.
00:37:16.380And this is the thing you hear now from Democrats all the time, that they, they imagine that their problem is that they are too polite and too concerned with following the rules and the norms and, you know, abiding by political tradition.
00:37:34.660Meanwhile, these are the people who tried to stop Trump from becoming president by putting him in prison.
00:37:41.560They conjured fake criminal charges against a former president and a presidential candidate and tried to throw him in prison to stop him from winning.
00:37:51.060So these are not people who are worried about the rules. Okay. These are, these are not people who need a lesson in how to fight dirty.
00:37:58.300They get it. I mean, these are the dirtiest fighters we've ever seen in politics in this country anyway, but, and, and I, we could say that without hyperbole because they're, they have done things that no one else has ever done, uh, to, to include again, you know, try, trying to throwing a former president in prison or trying to, because you don't like him.
00:38:18.520And you're worried about his continued political influence or continued political campaigns. Uh, no one had ever done that before. And so, yeah, I think that they, I think they get the message, but putting that aside, what Beto really wants is for us to be impressed with how much he's cussing.
00:38:35.480I mean, he just, he threw four cuss words into a 32nd soundbite. So he's like a, he's like a fifth grader who just learned new cuss words. And he's so excited to go, to go to school and say them in front of his friends. Um, and a lot of Democrats are trying this now they're trying to be looser, more crude, more vulgar. They're thrown in F bombs all the time. And, and why are they doing this? Well, obviously this is their attempt to kind of ape Donald Trump and to try to capture some of Donald Trump's appeal and energy.
00:39:05.480But it never works. It has never worked. It will never work. Uh, Trump's opponents have been trying this for 10 years. This is not new. Republicans tried it all the way back in the Republican primaries in 2015. We, we, we, we all remember that they went from lecturing Trump for his vulgarity to trying to imitate it. We all remember that very pathetic spectacle of Republican candidates in the primaries of 2015 doing this sudden switch.
00:39:35.480Cause they tried the finger wagging and this, and that didn't work. And so then they tried to act like him and start using this kind of language he used and it didn't work. It never works. It can't work.
00:39:46.160And the reason that it can't work is very simple because the appealing thing about Trump's style. And it's amazing to me, the Democrats are so clueless that they have yet to figure this out. I mean, we're 10 years into this. We're 10 years into the Trump era and they have not figured this out.
00:40:02.440Um, the thing that is appealing about Trump style is not that he's vulgar. It's not that he's crude or crass. It's not any of that. It's that he's authentic.
00:40:12.500Okay. That's the number one, far and away number one appeal of Trump's personality is that he's authentic. It's authenticity. That's what people respect about it. And he's just being himself.
00:40:22.260And so when he uses vulgar words or when he, you know, makes fun of people and he does what he does that we've all used to, you all used to seeing over the last 10 years.
00:40:31.020Um, people are not, it's not like, Oh my gosh, he, he said a cuss word. That's so impressive. It's just that, Oh, this guy's real. Like this is how he is.
00:40:41.300This is his, this, and, and, and you, you just know that this is how he is on stage. And if you met him in person, he'd be exactly the same way.
00:40:49.180And everyone that's ever met him or knows him has everyone has said that it's like, this is the same guy, no matter where, no matter what context you meet him, he's always just the same guy.
00:40:59.200Um, and that is the appeal. And, uh, and that's why this, all of these, uh, little tricks by Democrats, all of these rebrands, none of it will ever work because it's inauthentic.
00:41:12.740It's not real. And when Beto O'Rourke gets up there and starts talking about, Hey, F the rules, man, let's kick their ass. Right. Right. Folks. You hear me? I just said the F word. You hear that?
00:41:26.900Um, but so when Beto O'Rourke does it, it's not authentic. It's, it's cringe. It's embarrassing. Okay. It is, it's the, it's like the political equivalent of the Christian youth pastor with a backwards hat.
00:41:42.240Making, making, making pop culture references from nine years ago. It's, it's, it's as cringe as that because, and why is that cringe? Cause it's not authentic. It's not who you really are. And, um, and that's the problem.
00:41:55.820So it's just not going to work. All right. Finally, this came across my feed. It's an article in market watch titled, did baby boomers really have it easier than millennials?
00:42:05.340And it dissects this long running feud, which seems to have really found new life over the past several weeks on social media, this competition between generations to establish who had a more difficult time.
00:42:16.860And, uh, now that competition is especially intense among Gen Z versus boomers. Every day on X, I see another post of how Gen Z has it so much worse. And, uh, and, and, and sometimes you see the opposite claim.
00:42:29.840I just saw a kind of a viral post from a boomer woman who was saying the opposite that, you know, they worked really hard and they had it a lot harder.
00:42:36.580And so there's just this constant, this constant competition going on, uh, this competition, this, this unending discussion about, um, the, the war of the generations. Right.
00:42:49.220And I was thinking about this and I have a few thoughts about it.
00:42:53.160First of all, there's no question that the younger generations today do have a harder time of it by a number of really important metrics. And this is measurable. It's measurable, right?
00:43:03.440Housing is more expensive. Everything is more expensive. Inflation is ridiculous. Young people today have to compete in a labor market flooded with third world slave labor.
00:43:12.760And now also AI. And these are problems that boomers didn't face. Not only did they not face it, but problems that they created.
00:43:20.400I mean, they're the ones who let the immigrant invasion happen. They facilitated it, welcomed it, uh, created it. It was not just letting it happen.
00:43:27.040But they, but they, this was their handiwork largely, generationally speaking. And that's just true. Um, now on the other hand, it's also true that, uh, every living generation of Americans today have it easier.
00:43:43.560However, and this is, this is one of the, like, this might be the key point. Every time I see this, uh, this competition, this is the point that I think everyone needs to understand.
00:43:56.560Every generation of Americans that are living today have it easier, much, much easier than the vast majority of humans that have ever lived or who currently live on the globe.
00:44:08.520Um, so you can make the argument if you're Gen Z that you have it harder than the baby boomers did at your age. And I think that's true. I do. I do think that that is true, but there's a reason why you're using the baby boomers.
00:44:25.620And no one, like you're specifically using the baby boomers in the United States of America. That's that, that is what you're using. Because if you expand the, the comparison any more than that, I mean, if you pull back, right, the, if you widen the lens any more than all of a sudden it all starts breaking down.
00:44:45.880Because then you're going to find that the world is full of people who would kill to have your life. And, uh, and that again is the, that's, that's the case historically.
00:44:56.280And you might say that this undeniable fact of life doesn't make your personal challenges any easier, which sure it doesn't. But if we're doing the comparison game, then you have to expand the scope. It's only fair. I mean, either we're going to just say, look, it doesn't matter to compare it. It's not a competition. Who has it harder? Who doesn't? Let's just live, live your life. Okay.
00:45:20.460No matter if anyone has it easier or harder than you, it doesn't do anything for you one way or another, live your life. And so that's one approach. And we could just do that. I prefer that. But if you're going to get into this obsessive game of they had it easier. Well, once you start doing that, um, okay, well now you've opened, now we've opened up the comparison conversation and, uh, and then you're going to quickly find that.
00:45:43.500Yeah. Yeah. Um, baby boomers had an, we're in an enviable, enviable position, uh, in relation to you, but, but, but you are, we're all in an, in, in, in a very enviable position in relation to billions and billions and billions of people. Um, and I think that's one of the things that that's, that gets lost.
00:46:13.500And that, and that just brings me to the, what I think is the, the main point, which is that, and I know I talk about the generational, I get into the generational warfare sometimes too. I know that I'm, I'm guilty of that.
00:46:25.000I think we do have to face the horrific mistakes that baby boomers made. And they did make a lot of, when I say mistake, it makes it sound like it was done accidentally, but, uh, the, the horrifically bad decisions that were made in large part by baby boomers. Uh, I think we have to face that. We're dealing with it right now. We've got to learn the lessons of history. So some of that is, uh, is necessary.
00:46:47.000But the incessant generational warfare, um, I think the problem is that, especially if you're a young person, especially if you're a young person, just starting out in life and you're sitting around just like obsessing over, I wish it was easier. I wish it, I wish I was born in 1953. It'd be so much easier. Uh, whether that's true or not.
00:47:11.000To, to, to, to live your life that way and to obsess over that is just, it, it will, will kill it. It's death. It will kill your potential. Once you, once you start stacking excuses, um, then you have killed your potential. You've killed your own chance at success because you can still succeed in life, but you've, you've killed it.
00:47:35.440Once you start, once you start obsessing over the excuses and just sort of collecting them, which is what a lot of people do, they start collecting excuses and they have them in their pocket, ready to pull out at any moment.
00:47:45.900And this is, I truly believe this is the, the number one dividing line. The thing that separates successful people from unsuccessful people, ultimately success by however you measure it in whatever your walk of life, whatever your, um, profession, whatever field, whatever it is.
00:48:06.540But the thing that separates successful people, uh, but the thing that separates successful from unsuccessful is that the unsuccessful people, uh, collect excuses, the unsuccessful people, when you, when you, when you, when you ask them for an, when you ask them, you know, when it, when it comes to their, their own failures or the things that aren't working out, they've got, they've got 20 excuses ready to go.
00:48:30.060They've got, they've, they've, they've got them all rehearsed. They have them on a, on a list in their brain and they just run through them constantly.
00:48:39.140Uh, and successful people don't do that. It's not because they don't have excuses. It's not because they don't have difficult lives. A lot of times these are people that have much more difficult lives.
00:48:48.340Uh, but they don't sit around thinking about excuses. Like they, they, they, they just won't take no for an answer.
00:48:57.000They're ambitious. They know what they want in life. They're going to go chase it and they will not take no. They don't, they don't want excuses. They, they're not collecting excuses in their pocket. They are, they're dumping the excuses out and throwing them on the ground. They don't want them.
00:49:11.120Um, and that's the number one, uh, dividing line, I believe you may have noticed, but I don't shave much. I do, however, have thoughts about men pretending to be women and women pretending to be men.

00:50:49.840Here's something you might not know about Jeffrey Dahmer, the cannibal serial killer who dismembered more than a dozen people.
00:50:55.760He was actually a member of the U.S. Armed Forces. He enlisted in the Army back in 1979, and that same year he was deployed as a combat medic to West Germany.
00:51:05.200A couple years later, his performance deteriorated, and he received an honorable discharge.
00:51:09.000And believe it or not, Dahmer wasn't the only notorious serial killer who served in the military.
00:51:12.680David Berkowitz, otherwise known as the Son of Sam, killed six people and injured 11 others.
00:51:17.540And guess what? He served in an Army Infantry Division in South Korea as well as Fort Knox.
00:51:22.020Now, if you're a normal person, hearing these little bits of random trivia, you might say, so what?
00:51:27.580Both Dahmer and Berkowitz committed some of the most horrible crimes imaginable.
00:51:31.360Therefore, they deserve the maximum punishment under the law for what they did.
00:51:34.780The fact that they served in the military has no bearing whatsoever on anything.
00:51:38.300And it certainly doesn't mean that they were entitled to a lesser sentence or any kind of sympathy.
00:51:42.400And if that's your position, congratulations.
00:51:43.800It's safe to say that you don't work at the media outlet known as the Daily Beast,
00:51:47.560which is easily one of the worst publications on the Internet.
00:51:51.200And you see, in their infinite wisdom, the Daily Beast has just published a lengthy article written by a breaking news intern,
00:51:56.160which makes the case that, in fact, it's wrong for murderers to face justice as long as they served in the U.S. military.
00:52:05.000Put another way, the Daily Beast, a very left-wing publication that ordinarily does not support the U.S. Armed Forces in any way,
00:52:10.880has now decided that serving the military should make you immune from the death penalty no matter what crime you committed.
00:52:59.960But somehow in the state of Florida, it's happening.
00:53:02.600Here's the meat of the article, such as it is, quote,
00:53:04.440Ron DeSantis is under fire for turning against his fellow service members and letting executioners slaughter five veterans this year alone.
00:53:10.960The governor, who served in the U.S. Navy as commission officer from 2004 to 2010,
00:53:15.500has called Florida the most veteran-friendly state in the nation.
00:53:17.960But during his reign, nine people have been executed, including five veterans.
00:53:22.440Florida administers executions by lethal injection or electric chair at the execution chamber located at Florida State Prison.
00:53:30.680So to restate, Ron DeSantis is under fire for letting executioners slaughter five veterans this year alone.
00:53:36.920And he claims his state is friendly to veterans, but actually it's more like a house of horrors.
00:53:43.160Veterans walk into Florida excited about the whole no-income tax thing, and then Ron DeSantis springs his, you know, his saw trap on them, apparently.
00:53:54.060Nearly 30 veterans are sitting on death row, waiting for execution, including 67-year-old Cale Bates, who was set to be killed on August 19th.
00:54:02.240During DeSantis' term, five veterans have been executed.
00:54:04.820Bobby Joe Long, Dwayne Owen, Edward James, Jeffrey Hutchinson, and Edward Zarkuski, let's go with.
00:54:13.200Bates is set to become the 10th on August 19th, followed by Curtis Windham on August 28th.
00:54:18.160Hutchinson, a 62-year-old veteran with severe mental problems, was executed in May for the murders of his girlfriend and her three children.
00:54:43.340He confessed and was convicted of eight murders.
00:54:45.620Dwayne Owen sexually assaulted and stabbed a 14-year-old child to death before sexually assaulting and beating a 38-year-old mom, a 38-year-old to death a couple of months later.
00:54:55.960Edward James stole a car and murdered an 8-year-old child and her 58-year-old grandmother after he got high on LSD and drank 24 beers.
00:55:06.980Jeffrey Hutchinson murdered his live-in girlfriend and her three children, ages 9, 7, and 4.
00:55:11.560Edward Zakuski killed his wife with a machete after she demanded a divorce, and then he also killed his 7-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter.
00:55:21.360He lured his children into the bathroom one by one by saying he wanted to brush their teeth, and then he murdered them.
00:55:33.040I mean, the dregs of human society, monsters that can barely be called human, which the Daily Beast is defending as a very incoherent and demented way of defaming Ron DeSantis.
00:55:46.460They're saying that all these people deserve lighter sentences solely because they served in the military at one point.
00:55:52.280This is the editorial position that the outlet has taken.
00:55:54.920Now, of course, the cowards over at Daily Beast won't admit that.
00:56:00.060They'll claim they're just reporting on the utterly insane suggestion that other people are making.
00:56:05.080Specifically, the article goes on to cite a letter supposedly written by around 100 alleged veterans, which states, quote,
00:56:10.060So we can never be a veteran-friendly state when our leader is signing off on their deaths at the hands of the state.
00:56:16.360The military instills in all of us an unbreakable code of honor.
