The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1653 - The Savage Crime That The Media Doesn’t Want You To Know About

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a career criminal savagely murders a Ukrainian refugee on a train

00:00:04.280 in Charlotte. The media refuses to cover the story. I'll give you one guess why that's the

00:00:08.340 case. Also, the Trump administration considers banning trans people from owning guns. The city

00:00:12.680 of Austin ditches their century-old city logo in favor of something that makes the Cracker Barrel

00:00:17.040 rebrand look brilliant by comparison. And we will discuss the very absurdly viral story of the kid

00:00:22.740 getting his baseball stolen at a Phillies game. Everyone's talking about it, but everyone is

00:00:26.360 missing the point, as always. We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 More than 90% of Americans don't get enough fruits, vegetables, and fiber in their diet.

00:00:59.360 We're all basically walking nutritional disasters, and that's where balance of nature supplements

00:01:03.480 come in. These aren't your typical synthetic vitamins with names you can't pronounce. We're

00:01:07.800 talking about 47 whole ingredients, 16 fruits, 15 vegetables, plus spices and fibers, real

00:01:13.420 stuff like wild blueberries, kale, turmeric, and shiitake mushrooms. I've taken the fruits

00:01:18.900 and veggie supplements for a while now. Honestly, it's nice knowing I'm getting all that variety

00:01:23.000 without having to turn my kitchen into a produce section. It's especially handy to have while

00:01:27.240 traveling as well. Plus, their fiber and spice blend is the only supplement on the market,

00:01:31.660 combining 12 spices with four whole fibers. I'm not saying this replaces eating actual vegetables,

00:01:36.980 of course, but when life gets crazy and your diet consists mainly of whatever doesn't require

00:01:41.480 cooking, it's nice knowing that you're still getting healthy ingredients with balance of nature.

00:01:55.800 Just a few hours after a career felon named George Floyd overdosed on the streets of Minneapolis,

00:02:01.700 just outside of the store that he was attempting to rob, while being restrained by the officers that

00:02:06.400 he had physically resisted, a lengthy video of Floyd's death appeared on every mainstream cable

00:02:11.720 news station. The footage was disturbing, viewers were warned. But we were instructed to watch it

00:02:17.080 anyway, because it supposedly amounted to clear and convincing evidence that America is unsafe for

00:02:22.000 black people due to the scourge of systemic racism. Never mind the lethal level of fentanyl in Floyd's

00:02:28.160 system, which prosecutors later lied about during Derek Chauvin's trial. Never mind the lack of any

00:02:33.060 physical injury to his neck whatsoever. Focus, they told us, on the footage. Wasn't exactly a rational

00:02:39.380 argument, but it didn't need to be. Even alleged conservatives like Supreme Court Justice Amy 1.00

00:02:44.740 Coney Barrett explained that they had wept after seeing the video. That's how powerful the video

00:02:50.280 was, or at least that's the way things seemed at the time to a lot of people. What's become very

00:02:55.700 evident in the aftermath of the Floyd hagiography is that the footage of his overdose wasn't actually

00:03:03.060 that important to the narrative. Far more important was the footage that we weren't allowed to see

00:03:07.760 under any circumstances. And I'm not just talking about the footage of Floyd telling the officers

00:03:12.080 that he couldn't breathe long before he was on the ground. I'm talking about all the videos of black 1.00

00:03:17.700 career, career felons, violent thugs who should have been executed a very long time ago, murdering 0.99

00:03:23.820 white people in public places for no apparent reason whatsoever. These are videos that are rarely 0.98

00:03:30.000 shown to the public. When these videos are released, they're usually edited to the point that you don't

00:03:35.160 actually see the crime itself, and the mainstream media outlets ignore them entirely. The aggregate

00:03:41.500 effect of this censorship is that to many Americans, black people are seen as the victims of systemic 0.75

00:03:48.500 racial injustice, while whites are cast as their oppressors. That's the kind of pre-existing narrative

00:03:54.080 you need in order to sell a BLM martyr to the public. Now, shortly after a 23-year-old Ukrainian 0.56

00:03:59.660 refugee by the name of Irina Zarutska was murdered on the light rail system in Charlotte, North Carolina

00:04:06.000 back on August 22nd, the same campaign of censorship remained in effect. In early reports about the

00:04:13.940 murder, news outlets omitted some key details from the story. Here's one example. See if you can tell

00:04:20.100 what's missing from this report. Watch. Turning to this now tonight, the Charlotte and Mecklenburg

00:04:25.580 Fraternal Order of Police is voicing their concerns about leadership and safety here in the Queen

00:04:30.820 City, and this is after the stabbing death of a woman on the light rail just days ago, and city

00:04:36.820 leaders' response to it. WCNC Charlotte's Bria Smith is joining us live right now in South End. So,

00:04:42.360 Bria, what is the FOP saying?

00:04:48.440 Well, Vanessa, in a Facebook post, the FOP says that the mayor, quote, coddled the man responsible for this

00:04:54.860 latest incident, and it's the reason why city leaders and residents in this area say solutions

00:05:00.300 can be made. Now, in a statement released by the mayor, she expressed her sympathies to the victim

00:05:05.420 and her family, stating, quote, my thoughts and prayers go out to the young woman's family and

00:05:10.340 friends. When it came to the suspect, she wrote, while I do not know the specifics of the man's

00:05:15.100 medical record, what I have come to understand is that he has long struggled with mental health

00:05:20.360 and appears to have suffered a crisis. That report aired nearly a week after the murder.

00:05:25.980 Authorities knew the identity of the suspect within hours of the attack, and as you just heard,

00:05:30.300 the mayor clearly knows who he is. She even knows his medical record, apparently. But they still don't

00:05:35.420 tell you anything specific. No photos are provided, so the audience has no idea what the man looked like.

00:05:41.680 His name wasn't provided either, and they certainly didn't air any video of the attack,

00:05:45.960 edited or otherwise. And there's a reason for that. Democrats in Charlotte wanted to cover up

00:05:51.480 their role in this murder, as well as the broader pattern of black felons targeting white people. 0.66

00:05:56.560 And that's why no major media outlets in the entire country, except for Fox,

00:06:00.720 have even mentioned this story. It's a complete media blackout pretty much everywhere on all the

00:06:06.680 networks and all the newspapers. You could search the Washington Post, NBC News, CBS News, ABC News,

00:06:13.020 the AP, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, NPR, the BBC, CNN. None of them are talking about

00:06:18.940 it. No national Democrats have weighed in either. And for its part, Wikipedia is now in the process of

00:06:24.620 deleting its article on the murder completely. For all their stated concern about Ukraine and

00:06:29.820 refugees, this is one Ukrainian refugee that these people definitely don't want to talk about. 1.00

00:06:35.160 I mean, they'll run a million articles about the plight of Ukrainians and how we should accept them

00:06:38.860 with open arms. But when one of these Ukrainians is murdered on public transport, they don't even 1.00

00:06:43.920 pretend to care. I mean, we hear all the time about refugees who come to America for a better life.

00:06:49.800 Well, this is one who came here for a better life, ended up getting butchered on the light rail

00:06:53.740 instead, which is the kind of tragic story that you think people with Ukraine flags in their bios would

00:06:59.200 immediately rally around. But again, none of them can even pretend to care about this.

00:07:04.100 They all feel the need to destroy the evidence of this homicide because they know it's proof of a

00:07:09.700 larger trend, one that they have absolutely no answer for. These statistics on this disparity are

00:07:15.500 not remotely close. A white person is more than 30 times more likely to be violently attacked by a

00:07:21.240 black person than the other way around. In 2019, roughly 85 percent of the 560,000 violent interracial 0.99

00:07:29.700 incidents involving whites and blacks were black on white crimes.

00:07:35.280 OK, these are statistics that are hard for most people to comprehend. They don't just destroy the

00:07:41.640 narrative about white supremacy or about a mental health crisis or whatever. They also demonstrate

00:07:46.500 very clearly that white people are being hunted and killed by an extraordinarily dangerous demographic,

00:07:52.840 which is an urgent problem that rises to the level of a national emergency.

00:07:56.780 I mean, you often hear it said that 13 percent of the population accounts for 50 percent

00:08:01.340 of the homicides, but it's actually far worse than that, because most of the murders are being 0.81

00:08:07.880 committed more specifically by young black males between the ages of about 15 and 40. 0.63

00:08:14.480 So that's more like three or four percent of the population that's doing all that damage.

00:08:20.500 But at the end of the day, these are just numbers. Without graphic videos airing 24-7 on every cable

00:08:28.880 news network showing the reality of this racial violence in everyday life, these statistics are

00:08:35.040 hard for people to hear about or to understand. And that's why over the weekend, Charlotte's political

00:08:41.400 leaders were very quickly thrown into a state of panic and horror. The city's public transit system,

00:08:48.140 upon the request of journalists invoking the state's public records law, released footage

00:08:53.020 showing the moments before and after the murder of that Ukrainian woman in Charlotte. Several weeks

00:08:58.720 after the fact, after the authorities initially refused to release this video, it finally became

00:09:03.740 public. And this is a moment that Charlotte's mayor clearly did not want to see, nor was she prepared

00:09:10.400 for it. Now, as you can see, the footage shows the victim entering the light rail car. She has her

00:09:18.540 AirPods in. She sits down in front of a large black male without interacting with him in any way. 1.00

00:09:26.160 You know, these are people, there are other people sitting nearby on in other seats on the train. It's a

00:09:31.900 busy, it's a full busy train. The woman is wearing the uniform of a pizza restaurant. So presumably she's

00:09:38.120 just getting off of work. And then after a few minutes, which is condensed in the video into a

00:09:43.180 few seconds, the black man stabs the woman several times out of nowhere. The footage pauses so it

00:09:51.660 doesn't actually show the stabbing. But then the attacker walks throughout the train with nobody

00:09:57.540 responding in any way as blood is dripping from his knife. The attacker was later admitted to the

00:10:03.880 hospital with a wound to his hand. So it's possible the knife also cut him as he was murdering his

00:10:09.280 victim. So again, compared to the Floyd footage, it's sanitized. It doesn't actually show anyone

00:10:16.940 dying. And it's not airing constantly on every single news channel, or almost any news channel,

00:10:22.040 in fact. But although it's censored, it's still extremely damaging for the city of Charlotte and

00:10:27.360 the narrative of the Democrat Party, which exists to protect criminals who attack white people.

00:10:32.940 And that's why when the transit system released the footage, the Democrat mayor of Charlotte,

00:10:38.280 a black woman named Vi Lyles, did not issue a statement condemning the killer. She didn't provide

00:10:44.760 any background information about the man, including any previous arrests and convictions he might have.

00:10:50.580 She did not explain how the city could have easily prevented this murder from occurring.

00:10:55.520 Nor did she say a word about black on white violence in general, of course.

00:10:59.340 Instead, in a post on social media, Vi Lyles denounced everyone who shared the footage.

00:11:05.680 That's who she's mad at. Here's what she wrote. Quote,

00:11:09.420 The video of the heartbreaking attack that took Irina Zaruzka's life is now public.

00:11:14.860 I want to thank our media partners and community members who have chosen not to repost or share the

00:11:19.660 footage out of respect for Irina's family. That's an actual message from the mayor of Charlotte.

00:11:25.820 According to Lyles, if you shared the footage that the city transit system provided,

00:11:31.540 then you're not demonstrating respect for the victim's family.

00:11:36.200 The respectful thing to do in the mayor's eyes is to bury all of the evidence that this happened.

00:11:42.800 It's to pretend that it didn't happen. It's to pretend that this woman never existed.

00:11:46.120 That's the respectful thing.

00:11:47.320 And if you don't see that, then you're just not as altruistic as Vi Lyles.

00:11:52.780 You have no decency.

00:11:55.300 Now, of course, the reason that the mayor wanted to memory hold his footage is not to respect the victim,

00:12:00.540 but really the opposite of that.

00:12:02.920 The reason is that the killer,

00:12:05.720 somebody named Carlos Brown Jr.,

00:12:08.040 has predictably an extensive criminal record.

00:12:11.100 Specifically, he has at least 14 prior arrests

00:12:14.360 for crimes like armed robbery, assault on a female, felony larceny,

00:12:20.120 breaking and entering, shoplifting.

00:12:22.780 You know, all the crimes you would expect somebody like this to have.

00:12:26.020 He has mugshots like students have yearbook photos.

00:12:29.580 And there's a new one every year, basically, if not more often than that.

00:12:33.960 One of his more recent arrests came after he misused the 911 system,

00:12:38.240 reportedly by claiming that man-made material was inside his body and controlling his mind.

00:12:46.120 And he was brought to court on that charge.

00:12:47.900 A judge named Teresa Stokes, rather, was reportedly assigned to the case. 1.00

00:12:53.500 And now let's think about this for a second.

00:12:57.280 Put yourself in the judge's position.

00:12:58.840 You have a violent felon with a, at this point, lengthy history of attacking people.

00:13:06.400 According to the police, he's now experiencing psychosis,

00:13:08.920 in addition to committing even more crimes.

00:13:11.420 He's certainly demonstrating antisocial behavior

00:13:13.620 that's clearly incompatible with life in a civilized society.

00:13:17.060 And yet, despite that track record,

00:13:19.300 the judge, a black woman who reposts pro-DEI content on LinkedIn, 0.96

00:13:23.940 and who just happens to run a treatment facility

00:13:26.060 that treats mental health disorders in her spare time, 0.80

00:13:29.660 allowed DeCarlos Brown to go free with no cash bail.

00:13:35.000 Just went, just let him go.

00:13:38.220 She didn't lock him in a prison.

00:13:40.800 She didn't commit him to a mental hospital. 0.84

00:13:43.820 She allowed him to board a light rail car and murder an innocent white woman. 1.00

00:13:50.560 Given every opportunity to imprison a repeat offender,

00:13:53.840 a clear danger to everybody around him,

00:13:56.880 the justice system just turned him loose.

00:14:00.520 Didn't even make him pay bail money.

00:14:03.880 Now, this is a point that cannot be overstated.

00:14:07.680 Our society is held hostage by a tiny minority 1.00

00:14:11.380 of violent antisocial degenerates like DeCarlos Brown. 0.91

00:14:16.840 And what makes it all the more infuriating

00:14:18.880 is that it doesn't have to be like this.

00:14:21.120 We could have all of these criminals off the street permanently

00:14:25.980 in the span of a few months if we had the will.

00:14:30.540 Now, here's a statistic that you almost never hear about.

00:14:35.400 And it tells us this,

00:14:37.500 that if we rounded up every criminal

00:14:40.460 with three or more prior arrests,

00:14:44.520 crime would drop by 80% nationwide.

00:14:47.120 Yes, 80%.

00:14:50.280 And you can make this determination

00:14:53.020 by looking at the percentage of new inmates in prison systems

00:14:56.060 who have a prior arrest,

00:14:58.160 which is virtually all of them.

00:15:01.400 And this is exactly the result that you would expect.

00:15:04.560 And the lesson is obvious.

00:15:06.920 The single best way to predict future criminal behavior

00:15:10.300 is to look at past criminal behavior.

00:15:12.460 And the single best way to prevent future criminal behavior

00:15:16.060 is to begin implementing ruthless punishments

00:15:18.960 for serious offenders.

00:15:21.460 And when I say ruthless,

00:15:23.000 I mean public execution for violent criminals 0.68

00:15:26.560 and habitual offenders.

00:15:28.320 There is, again, a very, very small percentage

00:15:31.820 of barbarically violent sociopaths

00:15:34.580 causing almost all of the problems.

00:15:36.720 Our communities are unsafe and unlivable.

00:15:40.260 You can't even sit on a train with headphones on

00:15:42.600 because of a tiny fraction of the population.

00:15:46.820 If not for this fraction,

00:15:48.520 nearly every city in America would be a utopia

00:15:52.080 compared to what it is today.

00:15:54.040 We could easily deal with this problem,

00:15:57.980 again, simply by punishing criminals.

00:16:02.640 At a minimum, long prison sentences

00:16:05.600 as well as hard labor. 0.88

00:16:08.100 I mean, to Carlos Brown,

00:16:09.880 when you look at his rap sheet,

00:16:11.420 when you look at the fact that he was just

00:16:12.400 a dysfunctional person with nothing of value

00:16:16.180 to add to society,

00:16:17.640 he should have already been serving 30 years

00:16:20.320 in a labor camp.

00:16:21.400 At least by his, I don't know, fifth arrest.

00:16:27.240 He should have been in a labor camp somewhere.

00:16:29.960 And then he could bring some value to society.

00:16:32.260 Force him to work in a labor camp.

00:16:36.400 This is the only way, as our ancestors knew.

00:16:40.440 We've tried compassion.

00:16:42.940 We've tried restorative justice.

00:16:46.300 And this is the result.

00:16:48.880 It was inevitable.

00:16:51.400 So, here's another question.

00:16:55.280 And I want you to think about this.

00:16:58.520 Why exactly don't we give capital punishment 0.96

00:17:01.980 to armed robbers?

00:17:05.020 And to Carlos Brown had armed robbery on his rap sheet.

00:17:08.020 Again, very typical.

00:17:10.960 Why shouldn't anyone who would use violence

00:17:13.820 to rob another person

00:17:15.240 be permanently removed from society?

00:17:17.980 Until it's safe to ride public transit

00:17:21.160 or walk your dog in the park,

00:17:23.540 what exactly is the argument

00:17:24.580 for showing any amount of leniency

00:17:26.640 to career criminals whatsoever?

00:17:29.900 Our current system only gives capital punishment,

00:17:32.400 and then only rarely,

00:17:34.200 to someone who actually kills another person.

00:17:36.220 But what about someone who,

00:17:38.300 through their behavior,

00:17:40.040 has shown a willingness

00:17:41.100 to kill another person?

00:17:42.620 What about someone who is willing

00:17:45.280 to murder another human being

00:17:46.820 just to take their wallet 0.97

00:17:48.460 or their shoes

00:17:49.700 or their car?

00:17:51.840 What is the argument?

00:17:52.860 What is the actual argument

00:17:54.240 for waiting until that

00:17:56.100 already violent offender 0.84

00:17:57.500 actually kills someone

00:17:59.240 before giving them

00:18:00.500 the maximum punishment?

00:18:01.380 I want someone

00:18:03.300 to explain this to me.

00:18:04.560 If a guy walks up

00:18:05.400 to a woman on the street

00:18:06.300 or a man,

00:18:08.920 points a gun 0.99

00:18:10.480 at the person's head 0.98

00:18:12.360 and takes their purse

00:18:13.260 or their wallet,

00:18:14.820 why shouldn't that guy

00:18:16.260 be hanging from a rope

00:18:17.580 24 hours

00:18:18.580 after he's convicted

00:18:19.420 in a court of law?

00:18:21.600 Why not?

00:18:23.660 Don't give me some platitude.

00:18:25.140 Don't just shout the word

00:18:26.240 compassion at me.

00:18:27.780 Give me an actual argument.

00:18:28.940 It would certainly make

00:18:31.160 our communities much safer

00:18:32.500 if we started executing

00:18:33.740 armed robbers.

00:18:35.640 If we responded

00:18:36.780 with that kind of

00:18:37.720 brutal decisiveness

00:18:38.760 to violent criminals,

00:18:39.800 there's no question

00:18:40.580 that it would make

00:18:41.340 our communities much safer.

00:18:42.560 So why shouldn't we do it?

00:18:45.460 Here's the question.

00:18:48.160 Is the cost

00:18:49.920 of having

00:18:51.720 much more dangerous communities

00:18:54.040 worth the benefit

00:18:56.600 of keeping guys

00:18:58.600 like DeCarlos Brown

00:18:59.560 alive?

00:19:02.900 Does anyone think

00:19:03.740 the answer to that

00:19:04.360 question is yes?

00:19:07.620 So the benefit

00:19:10.100 is that

00:19:10.840 guys like

00:19:12.500 DeCarlos Brown,

00:19:13.360 we get to keep them alive.

00:19:16.240 And the cost

00:19:17.220 is that our communities

00:19:18.180 are very unsafe

00:19:18.940 and people like

00:19:20.060 Irina die. 0.99

00:19:22.960 What do we think

00:19:23.560 about the cost-benefit

00:19:24.460 analysis there?

00:19:26.980 Look,

00:19:27.360 I've been making

00:19:28.000 this point

00:19:28.420 for a long time.

00:19:30.900 As a society,

00:19:32.420 we have two choices.

00:19:34.680 Okay,

00:19:34.900 only two.

00:19:36.320 Either

00:19:36.760 we are going

00:19:37.420 to inflict

00:19:37.940 severe

00:19:38.640 merciless suffering

00:19:39.900 on the criminals, 0.96

00:19:41.500 the violent degenerates, 1.00

00:19:42.920 the sociopathic predators, 1.00

00:19:44.620 the dysfunctional, 1.00

00:19:45.900 the barbaric,

00:19:46.860 or

00:19:47.780 we're going

00:19:48.680 to allow

00:19:49.260 severe

00:19:49.880 merciless suffering

00:19:50.840 to be inflicted

00:19:51.560 on the innocent,

00:19:52.800 the women 0.97

00:19:54.040 sitting on the train

00:19:54.880 after work,

00:19:55.380 the pedestrians

00:19:55.940 walking their dogs

00:19:56.840 in the park,

00:19:57.340 the Uber drivers,

00:19:58.100 the gas station clerks,

00:19:59.040 and so on.

00:20:01.020 One group

00:20:01.700 or the other

00:20:02.220 is going

00:20:02.620 to be made

00:20:03.060 to feel

00:20:03.560 immense suffering.

00:20:05.100 One group

00:20:05.700 or the other

00:20:06.200 is going

00:20:06.560 to be met

00:20:06.960 with brutality

00:20:07.740 and violence.

00:20:08.580 There's no third option,

00:20:09.580 at least not for us.

00:20:11.260 Now,

00:20:11.420 other countries

00:20:11.980 may be able

00:20:12.540 to find a middle path.

00:20:13.660 Japan is one 0.81

00:20:14.280 of the safest

00:20:15.200 countries in the world.

00:20:16.120 It's also

00:20:16.420 completely homogenous.

00:20:17.560 98% of Japanese

00:20:18.620 citizens

00:20:18.960 are ethnically Japanese.

00:20:20.760 They are a small,

00:20:21.620 homogenous country

00:20:22.480 where everybody

00:20:23.040 shares the same culture,

00:20:24.120 same values,

00:20:25.100 same priorities,

00:20:26.340 the same fear

00:20:27.040 of public shame

00:20:27.880 and embarrassment.

00:20:29.140 And yet,

00:20:29.480 even in Japan,

00:20:30.860 the death penalty

00:20:31.460 is mandated

00:20:32.220 in their penal code.

00:20:33.960 They don't use it often,

00:20:35.260 but when they do use it,

00:20:36.580 the accused

00:20:37.120 finds out

00:20:37.700 their execution date

00:20:38.440 on the day

00:20:39.060 of the execution.

00:20:40.500 And then they're

00:20:40.980 taken off 1.00

00:20:41.380 to be hanged 1.00

00:20:41.920 without any further appeal. 0.93

00:20:44.320 So Japan's secret sauce 0.98

00:20:45.660 is homogeneity

00:20:46.920 with severe

00:20:48.420 and lethal punishment

00:20:49.340 dispensed

00:20:49.900 on the rare occasion

00:20:50.880 when it's necessary.

00:20:51.600 That is not

00:20:54.280 our situation.

00:20:55.020 We are a very big country.

00:20:57.200 We are,

00:20:57.940 as we're always reminded,

00:20:58.900 very diverse.

00:21:01.580 So we are left

00:21:02.640 with the two options

00:21:03.640 I just outlined.

00:21:05.180 Severe,

00:21:05.860 brutal,

00:21:06.460 ugly punishment

00:21:07.220 of the guilty

00:21:07.960 or

00:21:09.720 severe,

00:21:11.200 brutal,

00:21:11.600 ugly punishment

00:21:12.260 of the innocent.

00:21:13.880 Either the former

00:21:14.860 or the latter.

00:21:15.640 To choose neither,

00:21:16.620 to refuse to choose,

00:21:18.380 is to choose the latter.

00:21:19.440 It is to say

00:21:21.160 that it is worth it

00:21:22.280 for the innocent

00:21:23.640 to suffer

00:21:24.160 so that the guilty

00:21:25.060 don't have to.

00:21:27.160 And that's the answer

00:21:27.820 that our system

00:21:28.360 has decided on.

00:21:29.380 It's decided

00:21:29.860 that it's better

00:21:30.620 for a million

00:21:31.520 innocent women 1.00

00:21:32.240 on the train 0.99

00:21:32.960 to be butchered 0.84

00:21:34.120 in broad daylight

00:21:34.840 than for one

00:21:36.960 violent criminal

00:21:37.620 to be severely punished.

00:21:40.520 And even worse,

00:21:41.200 the people who give

00:21:41.920 this answer

00:21:42.440 have the nerve

00:21:43.320 to call it compassion.

00:21:45.360 It is not compassion.

00:21:47.060 It is callousness

00:21:48.200 in the extreme.

00:21:49.440 It is monstrous cruelty.

00:21:53.400 And that is why

00:21:54.200 the outrages continue

00:21:55.180 every day.

00:21:55.700 Just two days ago

00:21:56.380 on Saturday,

00:21:56.980 a 59-year-old

00:21:57.840 Auburn professor

00:21:58.640 named Julie Gard

00:21:59.660 Shunelli

00:22:00.520 was butchered

00:22:01.840 with a knife

00:22:02.540 in the city's

00:22:03.420 largest park

00:22:04.120 while she was

00:22:04.520 walking her dog.

00:22:06.060 She worked 0.95

00:22:06.480 at Auburn University's

00:22:07.580 College of Veterinary Medicine

00:22:08.940 and on Saturday

00:22:09.780 police say

00:22:10.360 a 28-year-old

00:22:11.620 black man

00:22:12.120 named Harold Rashad

00:22:13.260 Dabney III

00:22:14.140 stabbed her to death

00:22:16.340 and then stole her truck. 0.94

00:22:17.520 Yet another example

00:22:19.900 of black-on-white violence 0.82

00:22:21.000 to go along 0.76

00:22:21.540 with the other

00:22:22.000 500,000

00:22:22.940 that occur

00:22:23.460 every year,

00:22:24.180 give or take.

00:22:25.560 Yet another example 0.97

00:22:26.580 of a murderous degenerate 0.93

00:22:27.920 making public spaces 0.67

00:22:28.980 unsafe for the rest of us.

00:22:31.240 Here's another one.

00:22:32.340 On the left,

00:22:33.080 you see a 34-year-old

00:22:34.160 Lyft driver.

00:22:34.860 On the right,

00:22:35.320 you have one of the suspects

00:22:36.680 in her murder

00:22:37.860 and robbery.

00:22:39.320 She was shot to death.

00:22:41.380 Authorities didn't release

00:22:42.180 the shooter's name

00:22:42.800 because he was a juvenile.

00:22:44.000 That's how the system works.

00:22:45.380 You don't,

00:22:45.880 you know,

00:22:46.320 see these kinds of attacks

00:22:47.260 happening the other way,

00:22:48.280 period.

00:22:50.080 There are not

00:22:50.800 constant stories

00:22:51.720 of white people

00:22:52.460 hunting down 0.91

00:22:53.020 black Lyft drivers 1.00

00:22:53.960 or black men in parks. 0.97

00:22:56.140 The statistics 0.71

00:22:56.940 say what they say

00:22:57.840 and they are becoming

00:22:59.680 increasingly difficult

00:23:00.640 to deny

00:23:01.120 no matter how skeptical

00:23:02.060 or passive

00:23:02.820 you might be.

00:23:03.480 At the same time,

00:23:05.780 there are a lot of people

00:23:06.680 even on the right

00:23:07.460 who don't want to talk

00:23:08.420 about the racial elements

00:23:09.460 of crimes like these.

00:23:11.020 But here's the truth.

00:23:13.240 If I told you

00:23:14.260 that a person

00:23:15.060 was randomly butchered

00:23:16.060 on a train

00:23:16.640 and then I asked you

00:23:18.380 to guess the race

00:23:19.840 of the assailant,

00:23:21.040 I told you I'd give you

00:23:22.160 a billion dollars

00:23:23.120 if you guessed correctly

00:23:24.060 the first time,

00:23:26.020 well,

00:23:26.800 every single person

00:23:27.880 is going to go home

00:23:28.640 a billionaire 0.98

00:23:29.020 because you would guess black 0.79

00:23:30.800 and you would be correct

00:23:31.540 nearly every time.

00:23:32.460 That's just the simple

00:23:33.300 reality.

00:23:34.160 It just is.

00:23:35.000 We all know it.

00:23:36.220 There's a very obvious

00:23:37.160 pattern here

00:23:37.780 well established

00:23:38.540 over the course

00:23:39.120 of many decades.

00:23:39.900 The dividing line

00:23:40.560 is not between

00:23:41.420 those who recognize

00:23:42.860 the pattern

00:23:43.440 and those who don't.

00:23:44.520 We all recognize

00:23:45.240 that the line

00:23:45.680 is between those

00:23:46.180 who are willing

00:23:46.640 to say it out loud

00:23:47.760 and those who aren't.

00:23:50.260 In response,

00:23:50.880 the only argument

00:23:51.340 you'll hear from Democrats

00:23:52.380 like Vi Lyles

00:23:53.220 is that we need

00:23:53.840 to show compassion

00:23:54.660 for these killers

00:23:55.440 because their mental health 0.98

00:23:57.140 is supposedly to blame.

00:23:58.920 That's what she said

00:23:59.580 about the guy

00:24:00.120 with 14 arrests

00:24:01.140 who stabbed the woman

00:24:01.820 to death

00:24:02.140 on the light rail.

00:24:04.060 Here's the key part

00:24:04.920 of her statement.

00:24:05.480 Quote,

00:24:06.100 We will never arrest

00:24:07.000 our way out of issues

00:24:08.000 such as homelessness

00:24:08.720 and mental health.

00:24:10.080 Mental health disease

00:24:10.740 is just that,

00:24:12.040 a disease like any other

00:24:13.120 that needs to be treated

00:24:14.040 with the same compassion,

00:24:15.280 diligence,

00:24:15.720 and commitment

00:24:16.240 as cancer

00:24:17.480 or heart disease.

00:24:18.360 This mentality

00:24:20.980 is the root

00:24:21.480 of so many

00:24:22.040 of our problems

00:24:22.700 in our society

00:24:23.360 that we,

00:24:24.180 it's that we don't talk

00:24:26.100 about in our society,

00:24:27.500 we don't talk about

00:24:28.960 sin,

00:24:30.640 evil,

00:24:31.800 vice,

00:24:32.980 bad choices.

00:24:34.980 All of that

00:24:35.860 has been subsumed

00:24:37.080 under the banner

00:24:37.980 of mental health.

00:24:39.700 Every evil action

00:24:40.600 is a symptom

00:24:41.340 of a disease.

00:24:42.620 A guy randomly murdering

00:24:43.900 an innocent woman

00:24:44.480 on the train

00:24:45.020 is merely showing

00:24:45.800 signs of a medical illness.

00:24:48.240 Savage killers 0.91

00:24:48.920 are morally indistinguishable

00:24:50.940 from cancer patients.

00:24:52.660 That's explicitly

00:24:53.740 what she's saying.

00:24:55.240 And the reason

00:24:56.800 that black people 0.99

00:24:57.740 are statistically

00:24:58.540 overwhelmingly

00:24:59.200 more likely 0.99

00:24:59.840 to assault white people 0.98

00:25:00.880 apparently 0.96

00:25:01.420 is that there's

00:25:02.180 some unknown pathogen

00:25:04.720 lurking in the water supply.

00:25:07.120 I don't know. 0.98

00:25:08.500 Mental illness

00:25:09.400 supposedly explains

00:25:10.340 why this particular

00:25:11.720 black man 0.56

00:25:12.340 lied in wait 1.00

00:25:13.380 for this woman

00:25:14.620 to sit down

00:25:15.200 in front of him

00:25:15.680 for several minutes

00:25:16.480 before ambushing her

00:25:17.740 and then taking off

00:25:19.560 his shirt

00:25:19.920 and then fleeing

00:25:20.540 with his knife

00:25:21.560 dripping blood

00:25:22.960 all over the train.

00:25:25.160 He can't simply

00:25:26.060 be evil

00:25:26.640 and unfit 0.96

00:25:27.700 to live in civilization. 1.00

00:25:28.880 No, he's sick.

00:25:30.940 And maybe one day

00:25:31.900 he'll magically

00:25:32.740 get better.

00:25:35.200 Even though

00:25:35.760 he never will.

00:25:37.880 This person,

00:25:38.120 call it mental illness 0.58

00:25:38.740 all you want,

00:25:39.020 this person

00:25:39.680 will never be fit

00:25:40.980 to live in

00:25:42.160 civilized society.

00:25:43.100 Never, ever, ever, ever.

00:25:45.780 And again,

00:25:46.200 we all know it.

00:25:48.680 Americans have been fed 0.75

00:25:49.680 some variation

00:25:50.400 of this excuse

00:25:51.060 for many generations now

00:25:52.300 and the violence

00:25:53.280 is only accelerating.

00:25:55.020 We're now at the point

00:25:56.000 where, for some women, 1.00

00:25:57.200 you're safer

00:25:57.640 in a war zone

00:25:58.340 in Ukraine

00:25:58.760 than you are

00:25:59.420 in a Democrat-controlled

00:26:00.400 urban environment

00:26:01.240 with a large 0.95

00:26:02.580 black population.

00:26:04.400 It's not bigotry.

00:26:05.400 It's not spin.

00:26:06.180 It's just a factual statement.

00:26:09.020 The execution

00:26:10.000 of this Ukrainian woman 0.97

00:26:11.400 is infinitely more 0.98

00:26:12.560 horrifying and disturbing

00:26:13.560 than the deaths

00:26:14.360 of every BLM martyr 0.88

00:26:15.800 combined,

00:26:16.460 times a thousand.

00:26:18.640 Because she was not

00:26:19.500 resisting arrest,

00:26:20.520 she was not high

00:26:21.220 on lethal levels

00:26:22.080 of fentanyl,

00:26:23.060 she wasn't charging

00:26:24.000 at a police officer

00:26:24.700 and trying to steal

00:26:25.260 his firearm.

00:26:27.520 Instead,

00:26:27.980 she was trying

00:26:28.600 to go home

00:26:28.980 after her shift

00:26:29.580 at a pizza place.

00:26:30.900 Just like that

00:26:31.600 Auburn professor

00:26:32.160 was trying to walk

00:26:32.800 her dog

00:26:33.160 and just like

00:26:33.560 the Lyft driver

00:26:34.140 was trying to

00:26:34.700 make some money

00:26:35.520 driving people around.

00:26:36.300 She was attempting

00:26:37.080 to live a normal

00:26:38.040 and productive life

00:26:38.980 when she was slaughtered

00:26:40.400 without any hesitation

00:26:41.440 by someone

00:26:43.100 who has never

00:26:43.540 done anything productive

00:26:44.400 and who has never

00:26:45.900 been capable

00:26:46.380 of doing anything

00:26:46.940 productive

00:26:47.320 in his entire life.

00:26:49.680 The video footage

00:26:50.640 erases all doubt

00:26:51.380 about this

00:26:51.860 and that's why

00:26:52.900 they don't want

00:26:53.220 you to see it.

00:26:55.080 You know,

00:26:55.660 the media,

00:26:56.400 entertainment companies

00:26:57.080 like Netflix,

00:26:57.820 Democrats,

00:26:58.960 and their aligned

00:26:59.940 non-profits

00:27:00.600 and NGOs,

00:27:01.220 all of them

00:27:01.760 would prefer

00:27:02.400 that you continue

00:27:02.960 to live under

00:27:03.440 the illusion

00:27:03.980 that white people 0.99

00:27:05.320 are tormenting 1.00

00:27:06.060 black victims 1.00

00:27:06.680 and making them 0.93

00:27:07.280 feel chronically

00:27:08.020 unsafe

00:27:08.380 as they go

00:27:08.980 about their day

00:27:09.620 in a society

00:27:10.120 that's systemically

00:27:11.160 racist.

00:27:12.740 But the opposite

00:27:13.580 is true.

00:27:15.920 And these criminals

00:27:16.780 are more brazen

00:27:18.100 and emboldened

00:27:18.700 than they've ever been

00:27:19.460 precisely because

00:27:20.780 they know that

00:27:21.400 they won't face

00:27:21.920 punishment

00:27:22.320 for their crimes.

00:27:23.460 In fact,

00:27:23.840 if anyone tries

00:27:24.460 to stop them,

00:27:25.760 they'll be the ones

00:27:26.740 who are arrested

00:27:27.580 as we saw

00:27:28.780 with Daniel Penny.

00:27:31.440 Last night,

00:27:32.040 the president

00:27:32.340 indicated to a reporter

00:27:33.300 that he had just

00:27:33.860 heard of the case

00:27:34.540 and that some action

00:27:35.420 would be forthcoming.

00:27:36.220 Presumably,

00:27:36.680 that means the arrival

00:27:37.500 of more troops

00:27:38.260 and federal resources

00:27:39.280 in places like Charlotte.

00:27:40.480 Optimistically,

00:27:41.700 it could also mean

00:27:42.280 the removal of judges

00:27:43.280 who allow repeat offenders

00:27:44.500 like the Carlos Brown Jr.

00:27:46.020 to avoid prison time

00:27:47.040 as they rack up felonies.

00:27:49.620 If there's ever been

00:27:50.440 grounds for impeachment,

00:27:51.460 it's using your office

00:27:52.340 to endanger the lives

00:27:53.320 of millions

00:27:53.700 of innocent victims.

00:27:56.540 The reality is that

00:27:57.760 no one in this country

00:27:58.640 can feel safe

00:27:59.420 on public transportation

00:28:00.720 or in public parks

00:28:01.880 or in any other public space

00:28:03.300 in any major American city.

00:28:06.760 This is as great

00:28:07.780 a civil rights crisis

00:28:08.880 as this country

00:28:09.520 has ever faced.

00:28:11.500 You know,

00:28:11.740 we're told that

00:28:12.220 it's a civil right

00:28:13.100 to ride the bus,

00:28:14.380 to use public accommodations.

00:28:15.700 That's what the Rosa Parks 0.56

00:28:16.600 story was all about.

00:28:17.540 And I agree.

00:28:18.420 It is a civil right.

00:28:20.320 So what happens

00:28:21.240 when normal law-abiding people

00:28:22.740 can't use these accommodations

00:28:24.020 anymore because violent criminals

00:28:25.600 might stab them in the neck?

00:28:27.440 Is that a civil rights issue? 0.99

00:28:29.420 Undoubtedly, it is.

00:28:31.040 But unlike the 1960s,

00:28:32.380 mainstream news outlets

00:28:33.240 aren't talking about it.

00:28:34.560 There are no marches

00:28:35.560 or protests

00:28:36.940 on behalf of women

00:28:37.880 who are being slaughtered

00:28:39.340 in lifts,

00:28:39.940 in parks,

00:28:40.480 on light rail cars,

00:28:41.460 and so on.

00:28:43.360 Maybe that's the first thing

00:28:44.400 that needs to change.

00:28:46.180 If we could pass

00:28:47.000 a series of laws

00:28:47.820 in the 1960s

00:28:48.760 that reoriented

00:28:49.640 all of American life

00:28:51.380 on the back

00:28:52.280 of a massive social movement,

00:28:54.060 then we could do

00:28:54.660 the same thing today.

00:28:55.400 And before more people

00:28:58.580 are slaughtered,

00:28:59.360 that's exactly 0.98

00:29:00.600 what needs to happen.

00:29:03.100 Now let's get

00:29:03.800 to our five headlines.

00:29:10.500 We've all heard

00:29:11.400 common myths like

00:29:12.700 we only use 10%

00:29:13.840 of our brains,

00:29:14.800 but here's one

00:29:15.480 that might surprise you.

00:29:17.560 Thread count

00:29:18.040 is a huge myth

00:29:19.020 that many people believe

00:29:20.200 when shopping for sheets.

00:29:21.740 Thread count

00:29:22.100 is simply a measure

00:29:23.060 of fabric density.

00:29:24.060 It isn't actually

00:29:24.760 a good indicator of quality.

00:29:26.600 If you want

00:29:26.920 truly great sheets,

00:29:28.040 you need to look

00:29:28.840 at thread quality,

00:29:30.120 not count.

00:29:30.880 And that is why

00:29:31.360 Bowling Branch

00:29:31.880 focuses on using

00:29:33.060 the highest quality

00:29:33.960 organic cotton threads,

00:29:35.300 creating long-lasting sheets

00:29:36.580 that actually get softer

00:29:37.820 over time

00:29:38.440 rather than relying

00:29:39.580 on inflated thread count numbers

00:29:40.980 to impress customers.

00:29:42.280 Bowling Branch's sheets

00:29:42.920 are crafted

00:29:43.540 from the finest

00:29:44.360 100% organic cotton

00:29:45.600 in a soft,

00:29:46.360 breathable,

00:29:46.860 and durable weave

00:29:48.000 that delivers quality

00:29:48.960 you can feel

00:29:49.640 from the moment

00:29:50.200 you touch them.

00:29:51.160 What makes them

00:29:51.640 even more special

00:29:52.320 is that they become

00:29:53.060 softer with every wash

00:29:54.200 improving over time

00:29:55.660 rather than wearing down.

00:29:57.260 And one of the other things

00:29:58.260 I love about

00:29:58.660 Bowling Branch sheets

00:29:59.240 is that they're very cool.

00:30:00.380 They keep you very cool.

00:30:01.940 And I personally,

00:30:03.100 I have a rule

00:30:04.940 that if I'm sleeping,

00:30:06.180 the room has to be

00:30:07.160 60 degrees.

00:30:08.200 It has to be

00:30:08.700 refrigerator temperature

00:30:09.980 at a minimum.

00:30:12.280 And that's why

00:30:12.540 I love the sheets

00:30:13.040 because they also

00:30:13.500 keep you cool.

00:30:14.600 With their 30-night

00:30:15.440 worry-free guarantee,

00:30:16.620 you can experience

00:30:17.340 this exceptional

00:30:18.020 comfort risk-free,

00:30:20.480 how these premium sheets

00:30:41.920 If your idea of gut health

00:30:43.380 is eating a handful

00:30:44.320 of Tums

00:30:44.980 after every meal

00:30:45.800 and hoping for the best,

00:30:46.800 well,

00:30:47.040 it's time to level up.

00:30:48.900 Enter Peaks Pu-erh tea.

00:30:50.740 Yes, it's fermented tea.

00:30:52.120 No, it does not taste

00:30:53.160 like compost.

00:30:54.300 I was skeptical too,

00:30:55.380 but here's the thing.

00:30:56.100 It actually works.

00:30:56.860 I recently tried

00:30:57.580 the black Pu-erh. 1.00

00:30:58.980 No jitters,

00:30:59.780 no crash,

00:31:00.320 just clean,

00:31:01.000 calm energy

00:31:01.420 that doesn't make you feel

00:31:02.520 like you're on a caffeine bender.

00:31:03.760 And after meals,

00:31:04.800 their green Pu-erh 0.99

00:31:05.840 helps you digest

00:31:06.880 without feeling

00:31:07.440 like you swallowed a brick.

00:31:09.520 Imagine that.

00:31:10.260 It's really great.

00:31:11.320 Pu-erh is fermented,

00:31:12.800 which means it's packed

00:31:14.100 with probiotics,

00:31:14.940 prebiotics,

00:31:15.440 and all the things

00:31:16.140 your gut needs

00:31:16.860 but your current lifestyle

00:31:18.580 is probably ignoring.

00:31:20.180 Real clinical backing,

00:31:21.420 real antioxidants.

00:31:22.760 This isn't some

00:31:23.300 powdered gimmick

00:31:24.340 from your local

00:31:25.040 wellness cafe.

00:31:26.340 This is the stuff

00:31:27.140 top doctors

00:31:27.860 like Dr. Mark Hyman

00:31:29.220 actually recommend.

00:31:30.700 Also worth noting

00:31:31.320 is that this

00:31:32.340 is high-quality tea,

00:31:34.240 wild harvested

00:31:34.860 from 250-year-old trees.

00:31:36.920 Zero pesticides,

00:31:37.920 no additives,

00:31:38.700 no steeping required.

00:31:40.080 It dissolves in water

00:31:41.220 and that is efficiency.

00:31:42.980 And I like efficiency.

00:31:44.100 Now here's the deal.

00:31:45.300 If you go to

00:31:45.760 peaklife.com

00:31:47.140 slash Walsh,

00:31:47.920 you get 20% off

00:31:52.640 they'll throw in

00:31:53.140 a free frother

00:31:54.060 and a glass beaker

00:31:55.420 with their Pu-erh bundle.

00:31:57.280 And if somehow

00:31:57.880 this isn't the tea revelation

00:31:59.240 I just said it was,

00:32:00.220 well,

00:32:00.440 they offer a 90-day

00:32:01.840 money-back guarantee.

00:32:03.120 So,

00:32:03.740 literally zero risk.

00:32:04.720 Again,

00:32:05.020 that's peaklife.com

00:32:07.060 slash Walsh.

00:32:08.420 Go there now.

00:32:09.600 Your gut will thank you.

00:32:11.860 Okay,

00:32:12.340 just a couple of headlines today

00:32:13.820 as we went kind of long

00:32:14.900 on the opening monologue there,

00:32:16.720 but I just have a lot to say

00:32:19.300 as you can tell

00:32:20.060 about this issue,

00:32:22.780 which is not one issue

00:32:24.220 but multiple issues

00:32:25.200 all tied together.

00:32:26.500 So,

00:32:26.740 a couple of headlines here.

00:32:28.440 A report from the New York Post

00:32:29.360 about a perhaps surprising policy

00:32:31.020 that the Trump administration

00:32:31.940 is considering.

00:32:33.940 And,

00:32:34.080 if I can pull it up,

00:32:37.220 here it is.

00:32:37.940 New York Post,

00:32:38.340 the Justice Department

00:32:39.020 is discussing proposals

00:32:40.300 to potentially block 0.72

00:32:41.880 transgender Americans 0.88

00:32:42.920 from buying firearms,

00:32:45.160 sources told the Post.

00:32:46.500 In the wake of the deadly

00:32:47.420 Minneapolis Catholic Church

00:32:48.360 shooting conducted

00:32:49.000 by Robin Westman,

00:32:51.420 who identifies

00:32:52.020 as a quote-unquote

00:32:53.160 trans woman,

00:32:54.780 DOJ officials

00:32:55.340 are mulling the options

00:32:56.300 the Trump administration

00:32:56.980 could take

00:32:57.460 to restrict the

00:32:58.080 Second Amendment rights

00:32:58.760 of some Americans,

00:32:59.780 according to sources

00:33:00.740 familiar with the talks.

00:33:02.020 Some DOJ members

00:33:02.820 believe the move

00:33:03.500 could be approved

00:33:04.280 as a follow-up

00:33:05.280 on Trump's executive order

00:33:06.360 barring military service

00:33:07.660 by transgender people.

00:33:11.020 Lots of other people

00:33:11.860 disagree, however,

00:33:13.160 as you can imagine.

00:33:14.860 So,

00:33:15.040 but that's the proposal

00:33:16.040 that they are

00:33:16.740 reportedly considering.

00:33:18.960 You know,

00:33:19.280 I have two minds

00:33:20.540 about this issue.

00:33:22.240 I'm kind of dysphoric,

00:33:23.520 you might say.

00:33:24.100 I have issue dysphoria

00:33:25.720 about this.

00:33:26.460 And,

00:33:26.780 on the one hand,

00:33:27.820 I support the policy,

00:33:30.100 the suggested policy,

00:33:31.600 or I should say

00:33:32.840 I support it in theory,

00:33:33.920 because gun rights

00:33:37.180 are not absolute.

00:33:39.260 I mean,

00:33:39.520 that's the first thing.

00:33:40.340 I know gun rights people,

00:33:41.940 and I'm a gun rights person,

00:33:43.080 I have multiple guns,

00:33:44.340 I'm a big Second Amendment

00:33:45.120 supporter,

00:33:46.620 but,

00:33:46.920 you know,

00:33:47.780 gun rights supporters

00:33:48.960 can sometimes talk

00:33:50.140 about gun rights

00:33:50.800 as if they are absolute.

00:33:53.580 Right?

00:33:54.020 As if, like,

00:33:54.780 anyone has a right

00:33:56.460 to own any gun they want,

00:33:57.860 period,

00:33:58.300 end of discussion.

00:34:00.140 But that obviously,

00:34:01.400 and that's not,

00:34:01.900 you know,

00:34:02.060 that's obviously

00:34:04.260 not what everyone thinks,

00:34:05.400 but that's the way

00:34:06.220 it's talked about sometimes.

00:34:08.920 But that's obviously

00:34:09.940 not the case.

00:34:11.080 You know,

00:34:11.260 no rights are absolute.

00:34:12.800 The right to life

00:34:13.480 is not absolute.

00:34:14.840 You can be executed,

00:34:15.900 as we just talked about. 1.00

00:34:17.240 You can be legally shot

00:34:18.660 if you break

00:34:19.740 into somebody's house,

00:34:20.820 unless you do it

00:34:22.400 in California

00:34:22.900 or, you know,

00:34:23.720 a place like that.

00:34:25.460 But still,

00:34:26.300 rights are not absolute.

00:34:28.220 There are scenarios

00:34:29.440 where you can lose

00:34:30.320 certain rights,

00:34:31.800 up to and including,

00:34:32.760 again,

00:34:32.900 the right to life.

00:34:34.200 And there are obviously

00:34:35.360 scenarios where a person

00:34:36.540 should lose their gun rights.

00:34:38.040 A convicted murderer

00:34:38.980 should not be allowed

00:34:39.900 to legally purchase

00:34:40.920 a firearm.

00:34:42.720 Now, granted,

00:34:43.320 in my opinion,

00:34:43.900 a convicted murderer

00:34:44.480 should not be out of prison

00:34:45.380 in the first place,

00:34:46.860 but we do let murderers

00:34:48.260 out of prison all the time,

00:34:49.480 unfortunately.

00:34:50.260 And no,

00:34:50.660 I don't think they should be able

00:34:51.460 to walk into a gun shop

00:34:52.540 and buy a gun.

00:34:55.320 You know,

00:34:55.840 it's like,

00:34:56.660 this should really be

00:34:57.540 a one-strike-and-you're-out

00:34:58.480 type of deal.

00:34:59.180 I mean,

00:34:59.340 you use a gun 0.99

00:34:59.920 to kill somebody, 1.00

00:35:00.960 to murder somebody, 0.96

00:35:03.060 then you shouldn't be allowed

00:35:04.840 to get a second gun

00:35:05.720 after that.

00:35:06.280 Or if you use

00:35:06.800 any other weapon

00:35:07.400 to kill someone,

00:35:08.400 you shouldn't be allowed 0.64

00:35:08.920 to buy a gun.

00:35:11.260 I also don't think

00:35:12.060 that we should be selling guns

00:35:13.140 to delusional schizophrenics. 0.98

00:35:14.780 I mean,

00:35:14.960 if I walk into a gun shop

00:35:16.240 and I'm talking to myself

00:35:18.020 and acting erratic,

00:35:19.740 and then I announce

00:35:21.020 that I am Genghis Khan

00:35:22.560 and I need to purchase firearms

00:35:24.400 because I'm raising an army

00:35:25.480 in Central Asia

00:35:26.280 to go invade China 0.68

00:35:28.200 and bring down

00:35:30.240 the Jin dynasty

00:35:31.700 or whatever,

00:35:33.040 then no,

00:35:35.160 I don't think they should

00:35:35.680 actually sell me the gun.

00:35:37.000 I don't think the guy

00:35:37.780 behind the counter

00:35:38.340 should say,

00:35:38.780 well,

00:35:38.980 okay,

00:35:39.240 Mr. Khan,

00:35:39.860 right this way.

00:35:42.040 And I think that

00:35:42.840 should all be pretty obvious. 0.97

00:35:43.860 If you murder someone,

00:35:45.200 then you lose your gun,

00:35:46.400 right?

00:35:47.260 Permanently. 0.99

00:35:47.660 If you're a delusional schizophrenic, 0.97

00:35:49.340 if you're actively 0.93

00:35:50.060 in the middle

00:35:50.580 of a psychotic break,

00:35:52.060 then you should not

00:35:53.700 be able to buy a gun.

00:35:55.400 I mean,

00:35:55.560 that's,

00:35:56.240 I think,

00:35:58.480 a pretty reasonable position.

00:36:01.020 Now,

00:36:01.420 what about trans-identified people?

00:36:03.160 Well,

00:36:03.600 these are people

00:36:04.540 who are deeply

00:36:05.640 disconnected from reality.

00:36:07.300 They are profoundly confused

00:36:08.740 about the basic nature

00:36:10.040 of reality

00:36:10.860 and of themselves.

00:36:12.300 They belong to a demographic

00:36:13.980 with an astronomical

00:36:15.160 suicide rate.

00:36:17.080 they are much,

00:36:19.060 much,

00:36:19.400 much more likely

00:36:20.400 to exhibit

00:36:20.960 self-destructive behavior

00:36:22.080 than anyone else

00:36:23.160 by a mile.

00:36:25.100 Not even close.

00:36:27.360 And by the way,

00:36:28.140 the trans activists

00:36:28.880 are the ones

00:36:29.700 who will tell you this.

00:36:31.400 They're the ones

00:36:32.060 who will go around

00:36:32.560 saying that trans people 0.96

00:36:34.180 have a suicide rate 0.78

00:36:35.060 that's like 40%.

00:36:36.260 Or at least the rate

00:36:37.780 of suicide attempts

00:36:38.720 among trans-identified people

00:36:40.280 is 40%.

00:36:41.460 And,

00:36:42.840 um,

00:36:43.700 let's take them

00:36:44.300 at the word on that.

00:36:45.940 That is

00:36:46.600 I mean,

00:36:47.920 so we have someone

00:36:48.600 who belongs to a group

00:36:49.840 with a suicide attempt rate

00:36:51.940 of 40%.

00:36:52.940 In fact,

00:36:53.600 there was a study

00:36:54.140 in 2015

00:36:54.660 that found that

00:36:55.660 80%,

00:36:56.520 80%

00:36:57.840 of trans-identified people

00:36:59.740 reported having

00:37:01.000 at least seriously

00:37:02.040 considered suicide

00:37:03.160 at one point.

00:37:05.380 80%.

00:37:05.780 And these are people

00:37:08.000 who, again,

00:37:08.460 are deeply disconnected

00:37:09.580 from reality.

00:37:10.820 So,

00:37:11.180 I mean,

00:37:12.560 should we be giving

00:37:13.700 firearms to these people?

00:37:15.160 it seems very obvious

00:37:17.220 that we shouldn't.

00:37:20.640 You know,

00:37:20.960 not even a close call,

00:37:22.080 really.

00:37:24.080 Someone who's

00:37:24.480 extremely confused,

00:37:25.380 disconnected from reality,

00:37:26.980 high,

00:37:27.520 high,

00:37:27.920 high propensity

00:37:28.700 for self-destructive behavior.

00:37:31.460 Should they be allowed

00:37:32.440 to legally purchase

00:37:33.200 a firearm?

00:37:33.760 I think,

00:37:34.040 again,

00:37:34.500 no.

00:37:36.180 I mean,

00:37:36.480 I think there are

00:37:37.080 a lot of reasons

00:37:38.200 that I just outlined them

00:37:39.520 why we could say

00:37:40.860 no to that.

00:37:41.960 Now,

00:37:42.220 on the other hand,

00:37:42.780 of course,

00:37:43.200 the concern is that

00:37:44.140 we'd be setting

00:37:45.420 a dangerous precedent

00:37:46.340 by revoking

00:37:47.260 Second Amendment rights

00:37:48.200 based on mental health concerns.

00:37:50.380 You know,

00:37:50.560 what is the limiting principle here?

00:37:52.060 Is there a limiting principle?

00:37:53.700 What happens

00:37:54.360 when that power is abused

00:37:55.380 in order to take gun rights 0.78

00:37:56.580 away from

00:37:57.280 law-abiding conservatives?

00:37:59.680 And all that.

00:38:01.620 Wouldn't we be giving them

00:38:02.680 the rope 0.98

00:38:03.200 to hang us with,

00:38:04.540 metaphorically speaking?

00:38:06.040 That's the counter-argument,

00:38:07.220 and I understand that.

00:38:08.060 I mean,

00:38:08.220 it's a reasonable

00:38:08.900 position,

00:38:11.060 but ultimately

00:38:11.700 I'm not persuaded

00:38:12.380 by it

00:38:12.760 because I think

00:38:13.300 that this fear

00:38:15.280 about having

00:38:16.040 our own policies

00:38:16.960 flipped against us

00:38:18.100 has prevented

00:38:19.540 conservatives

00:38:20.260 from actually enacting

00:38:21.560 any conservative policies

00:38:22.880 for generations now.

00:38:24.440 We are so worried

00:38:25.680 about this.

00:38:26.420 We're so worried

00:38:27.000 about,

00:38:27.520 you know,

00:38:28.780 setting the precedent.

00:38:29.580 We're so worried

00:38:30.080 about being hoisted

00:38:31.320 with our own petard

00:38:32.320 that we don't have

00:38:34.520 any petards

00:38:35.360 to begin with.

00:38:35.940 I don't even know

00:38:36.260 what a petard is,

00:38:37.040 but you get my point.

00:38:38.660 We're so worried

00:38:40.680 about establishing

00:38:41.500 a problematic precedent

00:38:42.720 that we just

00:38:43.420 don't do anything.

00:38:45.040 We don't establish

00:38:45.980 any precedents at all

00:38:46.960 because we don't want

00:38:48.040 it to be used

00:38:48.500 against us.

00:38:51.020 So on any specific

00:38:52.500 individual basis,

00:38:53.520 this kind of concern

00:38:54.760 seems reasonable.

00:38:56.240 You could always

00:38:56.720 come along and say,

00:38:57.520 yeah,

00:38:57.760 but, you know,

00:38:58.260 if you do this,

00:38:58.880 then the left

00:38:59.260 could do that.

00:39:00.520 And again,

00:39:01.520 looking at it

00:39:02.440 in a vacuum

00:39:03.120 on a case-by-case basis,

00:39:06.180 yeah,

00:39:06.740 that's a reasonable point.

00:39:08.660 But taken together,

00:39:09.620 this becomes

00:39:10.540 an argument

00:39:11.240 for paralysis,

00:39:12.500 an argument

00:39:12.860 for being weak

00:39:14.040 and ineffectual 0.95

00:39:15.680 and impotent

00:39:17.280 and just not

00:39:18.260 doing anything.

00:39:20.420 Because here's

00:39:21.100 the fact of the matter.

00:39:21.920 The left has been

00:39:22.540 trying to take

00:39:23.120 our guns away

00:39:23.800 for decades,

00:39:24.960 mostly unsuccessfully,

00:39:26.220 but they've wanted

00:39:27.880 to do that for decades.

00:39:29.040 They've been trying

00:39:29.520 for decades.

00:39:30.620 They don't need

00:39:31.400 any precedent

00:39:32.100 or permission

00:39:33.520 from us to do it.

00:39:35.820 Nothing we do

00:39:36.780 will make them

00:39:37.380 more or less likely

00:39:38.540 to continue

00:39:39.400 their campaign

00:39:40.180 to take our

00:39:41.140 Second Amendment

00:39:41.580 rights away.

00:39:43.680 And even if I'm

00:39:44.560 wrong about that,

00:39:45.280 it doesn't matter

00:39:45.760 because when you

00:39:46.320 have the power,

00:39:47.140 you have to use it.

00:39:47.840 You have to govern.

00:39:50.260 And you have to

00:39:52.740 just do the right thing.

00:39:55.480 Govern according

00:39:56.200 to your principles.

00:39:59.960 And some of these

00:40:01.740 concerns about,

00:40:02.380 well,

00:40:02.540 how will the left

00:40:03.160 respond to that?

00:40:05.040 Well,

00:40:05.240 you deal with that

00:40:05.880 when it happens.

00:40:08.440 You know,

00:40:08.700 that is a cross

00:40:09.780 the bridge

00:40:10.180 when you come

00:40:10.620 to it kind of thing

00:40:11.680 as far as I'm concerned.

00:40:14.860 All right,

00:40:15.160 rebrands have been

00:40:16.080 in the news lately.

00:40:17.200 And of course,

00:40:17.560 we all remember

00:40:18.040 the great Cracker Barrel

00:40:19.460 rebrand of 2025,

00:40:20.880 which lasted about

00:40:21.500 45 minutes or so

00:40:22.900 before they started

00:40:23.860 backtracking.

00:40:25.540 And as we talked

00:40:26.280 about at the time,

00:40:26.880 Cracker Barrel

00:40:27.440 is not alone.

00:40:28.800 Many companies

00:40:29.440 have rebranded

00:40:30.480 in the same way.

00:40:31.960 And it's always

00:40:32.780 the same kind of thing

00:40:33.760 where they go from

00:40:34.600 a very distinct look,

00:40:37.940 a very distinct feel

00:40:39.020 and aesthetic

00:40:39.520 to something generic

00:40:40.920 and soulless.

00:40:42.980 And that's always

00:40:43.860 the rebrand strategy,

00:40:45.360 right?

00:40:45.880 As it turns out,

00:40:46.860 it's not just companies

00:40:47.900 that do this.

00:40:48.600 Cities are getting in

00:40:49.280 on the action too.

00:40:49.860 The city of Austin

00:40:50.620 is doing a big rebrand

00:40:51.840 and they've decided

00:40:53.100 to get rid of

00:40:55.060 the city seal

00:40:56.200 and the logo

00:40:57.140 that's been

00:40:57.520 their official brand

00:40:58.500 for,

00:40:59.580 although they wouldn't

00:40:59.940 have called it

00:41:00.420 a brand

00:41:00.980 a hundred years ago.

00:41:03.840 But for a hundred years

00:41:05.020 now,

00:41:05.220 they've had this

00:41:05.740 city seal,

00:41:06.440 this city logo.

00:41:08.120 And reading now

00:41:08.760 from the Statesman,

00:41:09.480 it says,

00:41:10.980 Amid a swarm

00:41:11.540 of online criticism,

00:41:12.600 city officials

00:41:13.100 unveiled a new logo

00:41:13.980 this week

00:41:14.380 as part of a broader

00:41:15.260 strategic modernization

00:41:16.840 effort

00:41:17.360 meant to help

00:41:19.060 residents more easily

00:41:20.060 identify city workers,

00:41:21.240 facilities,

00:41:21.680 and services.

00:41:23.520 City manager

00:41:24.260 TC Broadnack

00:41:25.640 said in a statement,

00:41:26.660 We want our community

00:41:27.200 members to be able

00:41:27.960 to identify members

00:41:28.900 of our team

00:41:29.440 as City of Austin

00:41:30.580 employees

00:41:31.020 and trust the services

00:41:31.980 we provide.

00:41:32.980 Whether they see

00:41:33.700 the brand on a website,

00:41:34.700 a utility bill,

00:41:35.240 a street sign,

00:41:35.700 or the site of a vehicle,

00:41:37.240 they'll know exactly

00:41:37.900 who it's from

00:41:38.480 and what it stands for.

00:41:42.300 The new logo

00:41:43.060 will replace

00:41:43.580 the city seal

00:41:45.880 and other property.

00:41:46.840 Designed in 1916

00:41:48.160 by a San Francisco

00:41:48.880 illustrator

00:41:49.360 for a flag design contest,

00:41:50.760 the seal is

00:41:51.400 not a brand

00:41:52.660 and does not promote

00:41:53.440 the city's distinctive

00:41:54.400 values and mission,

00:41:56.760 the city said

00:41:57.360 in a news release.

00:41:58.900 So they are,

00:42:01.900 and then the article

00:42:03.800 goes on,

00:42:04.340 people are very

00:42:05.080 upset about this,

00:42:06.400 people don't like it,

00:42:07.660 but they're getting

00:42:09.380 rid of the old logo

00:42:10.600 because it's not a brand

00:42:12.040 and they want a brand

00:42:13.960 is what they're saying.

00:42:16.640 Well,

00:42:17.020 let's take a look

00:42:17.560 at the new logo.

00:42:18.340 Here it is.

00:42:18.760 You can see it there

00:42:19.320 on the screen.

00:42:20.660 It's a kind of

00:42:21.360 a squiggly A.

00:42:22.620 That's the logo

00:42:23.440 and people don't like it

00:42:28.500 and you can see why.

00:42:30.320 And before we comment

00:42:31.460 on this or give it a review,

00:42:32.620 let's first compare it

00:42:33.740 to the old city seal.

00:42:35.640 This is the one

00:42:36.240 they're getting rid of.

00:42:36.900 They've had it since 1916

00:42:38.180 and you can see it there.

00:42:39.980 And the old logo

00:42:40.900 is great.

00:42:41.760 It's regal.

00:42:42.640 It's historic.

00:42:43.480 It feels imposing.

00:42:44.520 It feels proud.

00:42:45.620 It feels stately.

00:42:47.340 It feels impressive.

00:42:49.900 You see that logo

00:42:50.920 and you think,

00:42:51.660 you know,

00:42:51.860 you want to visit that place.

00:42:53.520 That's like something

00:42:54.160 you see on a flag

00:42:55.260 if you went to a jousting match

00:42:57.660 in medieval Europe.

00:43:00.200 That's like something

00:43:00.800 they'd be waving

00:43:01.320 outside of an enormous

00:43:02.900 stone fortress.

00:43:04.340 You know,

00:43:04.880 it's great.

00:43:06.740 And you see the new logo

00:43:07.860 and that looks like

00:43:09.700 a logo you'd see

00:43:10.520 on packaging

00:43:11.260 behind the pharmacy counter

00:43:12.540 at Rite Aid.

00:43:13.720 It looks like a brand

00:43:14.940 of Alzheimer's medication.

00:43:18.200 And just so you kind of see it

00:43:23.100 in its natural environment,

00:43:24.200 here's the city manager

00:43:25.080 unveiling the new logo

00:43:26.320 very proudly

00:43:27.460 and wearing it

00:43:28.880 on his chest.

00:43:30.800 Watch.

00:43:32.020 The city will be getting

00:43:32.940 a new look.

00:43:34.620 For the first time

00:43:36.000 in Austin's history,

00:43:37.800 we will have a logo

00:43:39.700 to represent the city's services

00:43:41.340 and unify us

00:43:43.180 as one organization,

00:43:45.120 one Austin.

00:43:45.800 We will go

00:43:48.160 from this

00:43:49.380 to this.

00:43:54.420 While this effort began

00:43:56.140 before I arrived

00:43:57.560 as city manager,

00:43:59.180 it is a project

00:43:59.980 I was glad to champion.

00:44:02.240 We will go from this

00:44:03.760 to this,

00:44:05.680 he says.

00:44:06.820 We'll go from this

00:44:07.860 awesome thing 0.95

00:44:08.580 to this absolute bullcrap. 0.97

00:44:12.960 And you can see 0.98

00:44:13.880 the logo on his shirt there.

00:44:15.340 And I mean,

00:44:17.300 he really looks

00:44:19.080 like he works

00:44:19.740 at a bank or something.

00:44:20.620 He looks like he works

00:44:21.340 at something called

00:44:21.940 Austin Financial.

00:44:23.980 He looks like he's about

00:44:24.660 to give your teenager

00:44:25.620 a student loan

00:44:26.800 with a 12% interest rate.

00:44:28.980 It really is awful.

00:44:30.220 And it's even worse

00:44:30.980 when I tell you

00:44:31.820 that this rebrand

00:44:32.680 took them seven years.

00:44:35.620 Seven years

00:44:36.420 and more than a million dollars.

00:44:38.220 Seven years

00:44:38.880 and a million dollars

00:44:39.980 for a logo

00:44:41.720 that looks like

00:44:42.700 ChatGPT generated it.

00:44:44.460 It looks like

00:44:45.180 if you went

00:44:45.540 to ChatGPT

00:44:46.360 and asked it

00:44:46.900 to generate a logo

00:44:47.820 for an autism

00:44:48.940 awareness non-profit,

00:44:50.300 that's what

00:44:51.340 it would give you.

00:44:53.840 So it's really

00:44:54.560 terrible stuff.

00:44:55.140 But hey,

00:44:55.380 at least it's modern.

00:44:56.980 Right?

00:44:57.760 And modern

00:44:58.500 is very important.

00:45:00.460 I mean,

00:45:00.720 you wouldn't want

00:45:01.260 a logo

00:45:01.620 that has

00:45:02.240 history.

00:45:05.300 You know,

00:45:05.780 you don't want history.

00:45:06.620 That's yucky.

00:45:07.660 That's ew.

00:45:08.460 Who wants history?

00:45:09.360 The old logo

00:45:11.480 was based on

00:45:12.100 the family crest

00:45:12.980 of a Stephen F. Austin

00:45:14.220 who's the father

00:45:14.980 of Texas.

00:45:16.540 But, you know,

00:45:17.100 he lived a really

00:45:17.660 long time ago

00:45:18.260 and plus he was white.

00:45:21.100 So we got to do away

00:45:22.160 with that,

00:45:22.620 of course.

00:45:23.960 Go from something

00:45:24.760 with history

00:45:26.980 and meaning

00:45:27.580 to something

00:45:28.420 that means

00:45:29.240 absolutely nothing

00:45:29.900 at all.

00:45:31.140 And that kind of

00:45:32.120 tells you,

00:45:32.440 that kind of tells you

00:45:33.080 where we are culturally.

00:45:34.680 That

00:45:35.000 the word

00:45:37.060 modern

00:45:37.600 almost always

00:45:39.140 is a stand-in

00:45:39.920 for meaningless.

00:45:41.520 To make something

00:45:42.460 modern

00:45:42.940 is to make it

00:45:43.840 meaningless.

00:45:45.360 Anytime you hear

00:45:46.280 that they've taken

00:45:46.900 something,

00:45:47.780 whether it's a logo

00:45:48.620 or, you know,

00:45:50.340 a film franchise,

00:45:51.640 anything at all,

00:45:52.680 and they've taken it

00:45:53.620 and they've modernized it,

00:45:55.380 it means that they've

00:45:56.160 taken all of the

00:45:58.260 meaning out of it.

00:45:59.620 They've also taken

00:46:00.460 the beauty

00:46:00.900 and the aesthetic appeal,

00:46:02.280 but all of that

00:46:02.920 is wrapped up

00:46:03.460 in meaning.

00:46:04.360 They've taken the meaning

00:46:05.380 out of it

00:46:05.900 and replaced it

00:46:06.840 with nothing.

00:46:09.060 That's what it always means.

00:46:12.020 All right,

00:46:12.480 I said two headlines,

00:46:13.320 but maybe we'll do

00:46:13.880 one other quick one.

00:46:16.300 This is the big report

00:46:17.720 from Politico.

00:46:18.440 Here's the headline

00:46:19.060 on X.

00:46:19.900 Trump,

00:46:20.340 the fertilization president,

00:46:22.200 has yet to deliver

00:46:23.540 the babies

00:46:24.200 that conservatives want.

00:46:26.460 Yes,

00:46:26.920 Trump has not

00:46:27.420 delivered the babies.

00:46:28.600 That's the criticism.

00:46:30.660 Now,

00:46:31.100 of course,

00:46:31.360 if Trump is supposed

00:46:31.980 to be delivering babies

00:46:33.180 or assume

00:46:34.600 that they don't

00:46:35.680 expect him

00:46:36.060 to physically

00:46:37.200 be the one

00:46:37.700 delivering the babies,

00:46:38.660 but if Trump

00:46:39.260 is supposed

00:46:39.500 to be causing

00:46:40.100 people to have

00:46:40.920 babies somehow,

00:46:42.300 you do have

00:46:42.920 the technical problem

00:46:43.800 that Trump's been

00:46:44.340 in office for,

00:46:45.340 what,

00:46:45.500 eight months?

00:46:47.200 But babies take

00:46:48.040 nine months

00:46:48.580 to gestate,

00:46:49.280 so Trump is

00:46:50.020 supposed to be

00:46:51.320 generating babies

00:46:52.600 out of the ether,

00:46:53.380 apparently?

00:46:53.820 I don't know.

00:46:54.900 He's supposed

00:46:55.280 to be mass

00:46:55.860 manufacturing babies

00:46:56.980 on an assembly line

00:46:57.840 or something?

00:46:58.160 I'm not sure,

00:46:59.000 but I want to read

00:46:59.580 a little bit

00:46:59.920 of this very

00:47:00.480 bizarre hit piece

00:47:01.400 because there's

00:47:03.580 one point I want

00:47:04.100 to make about it.

00:47:06.080 It says,

00:47:06.600 Donald Trump

00:47:07.000 this spring

00:47:07.420 dubbed himself

00:47:08.040 the fertilization

00:47:09.040 president,

00:47:09.780 but some conservative

00:47:10.940 family policy advocates

00:47:12.020 say he's done

00:47:12.640 little so far

00:47:13.380 to publicly

00:47:13.960 back that up

00:47:14.780 and are pushing

00:47:15.560 to get the White House

00:47:16.320 in the remaining

00:47:16.880 months of the year

00:47:17.620 to prioritize

00:47:18.280 family policy

00:47:19.360 and help Americans

00:47:20.720 make more babies.

00:47:22.380 A top priority

00:47:23.100 is a pro-natalist 0.92

00:47:24.240 or family policy summit

00:47:26.140 that spotlights

00:47:27.240 the U.S.'s

00:47:27.840 declining fertility rate.

00:47:30.100 Other asks,

00:47:31.460 which typically run

00:47:32.240 through the White House's

00:47:33.380 Domestic Policy Council,

00:47:34.940 include loosening

00:47:35.640 regulations on daycares

00:47:36.960 and child care car seats,

00:47:38.920 further increasing

00:47:39.700 the child tax credit

00:47:40.760 and requiring insurers

00:47:41.580 to cover birth

00:47:42.400 as well as pre-

00:47:43.500 and postnatal care

00:47:44.380 at no out-of-pocket cost.

00:47:48.080 Now,

00:47:48.540 the article goes on

00:47:50.460 and,

00:47:50.900 you know,

00:47:52.460 we could,

00:47:52.820 we could,

00:47:53.240 we could keep

00:47:54.640 talking about that.

00:47:55.360 The claim is that

00:47:55.920 Trump hasn't done enough

00:47:57.620 to promote family

00:47:58.500 and fertility.

00:47:59.440 And you could decide

00:48:00.460 if that's a fair

00:48:00.980 criticism or not.

00:48:02.800 But here's the point

00:48:03.620 I want to make.

00:48:04.720 Just imagine for a second

00:48:06.140 that you woke up

00:48:06.960 from a coma

00:48:07.560 and you had no idea

00:48:09.600 who the president was

00:48:10.700 or what party

00:48:11.700 he belonged to

00:48:12.540 or anything like that.

00:48:15.100 But I read this

00:48:16.240 political article to you

00:48:17.500 without saying the names

00:48:19.100 or the parties.

00:48:20.700 And you have no idea

00:48:21.780 who the president is,

00:48:22.520 but I read this too.

00:48:24.120 I read,

00:48:25.020 some family policy advocates

00:48:26.180 say the president

00:48:26.800 has done little so far

00:48:27.800 to publicly back up

00:48:28.660 his pledge to promote

00:48:29.360 fertility and are pushing

00:48:30.440 to get the White House

00:48:31.040 in the remaining months

00:48:31.720 of the year

00:48:32.040 to prioritize family policy

00:48:33.440 and help Americans

00:48:34.060 make more babies.

00:48:35.080 A top priority is a

00:48:35.820 pro-natalist or family

00:48:36.860 policy summit that

00:48:37.680 spotlights the U.S.'s

00:48:39.500 declining fertility rate.

00:48:42.520 Now,

00:48:42.940 if I read that to you,

00:48:44.700 you would immediately know

00:48:46.280 that this is about

00:48:48.040 conservatives

00:48:48.600 and a Republican president.

00:48:51.640 Family policy advocates,

00:48:54.080 family policy summit,

00:48:56.200 pro-family,

00:48:57.180 pro-natalist,

00:48:58.320 the fact that the president

00:49:00.700 is being criticized

00:49:01.440 by his base

00:49:02.440 for not doing enough

00:49:04.100 to promote families

00:49:05.060 and promote fertility

00:49:05.820 automatically means

00:49:06.900 that you're talking

00:49:07.620 about a Republican.

00:49:08.560 You're talking about conservatives.

00:49:09.580 All of this is conservative coded.

00:49:11.960 And I know I'm not telling you

00:49:12.740 anything you don't already know.

00:49:13.620 This is not, you know,

00:49:14.320 this is not some big,

00:49:15.240 bold assertion.

00:49:15.940 And you hear me say this,

00:49:18.160 you go, well, yeah,

00:49:18.660 of course, obviously.

00:49:20.480 That's exactly my point.

00:49:23.140 I mean,

00:49:23.800 just think about it.

00:49:26.240 Really reflect on this.

00:49:27.500 Reflect on the fact

00:49:28.240 that pro-natalist,

00:49:30.140 that is being in favor

00:49:31.760 of fertility,

00:49:33.380 in favor of human reproduction.

00:49:37.100 This is a position

00:49:38.260 with a label now.

00:49:40.060 Pro-natalist.

00:49:42.940 Think about the fact

00:49:43.700 that this is a political position.

00:49:45.940 which is unique

00:49:47.100 to one side of the aisle.

00:49:50.980 Which really tells you

00:49:52.520 what you need to know

00:49:53.100 about the culture.

00:49:55.000 That only one side

00:49:56.520 even pretends

00:49:57.200 to want people

00:49:57.860 to have children

00:49:58.440 and create families.

00:50:00.380 Promoting the continued existence

00:50:01.880 of human civilization

00:50:02.780 is a conservative thing.

00:50:05.640 The question of whether or not

00:50:07.180 the human species

00:50:07.960 should exist

00:50:08.840 is, in our culture,

00:50:11.200 a hotly debated

00:50:12.240 political topic.

00:50:13.100 So, if you want to know

00:50:15.620 why political debates

00:50:16.460 seem so fruitless,

00:50:17.420 if you want to know

00:50:17.860 why we can't come

00:50:19.160 to an understanding,

00:50:20.620 why we can't find

00:50:21.460 a compromise,

00:50:22.740 well, it's because of this.

00:50:24.800 It's because this is

00:50:25.780 what we're debating.

00:50:27.240 When you get down

00:50:28.120 to the brass tacks,

00:50:30.360 this is who we're debating.

00:50:33.980 People who are

00:50:34.760 actively against family,

00:50:36.780 who are against fertility.

00:50:37.880 Which is like debating,

00:50:40.900 I mean, if you're debating

00:50:41.480 someone who is

00:50:42.340 anti-breathing,

00:50:47.380 anti-drinking water,

00:50:49.220 what is there to debate?

00:50:51.400 That's not an argument

00:50:52.780 you can even have.

00:50:55.080 I'm not interested

00:50:56.040 in sitting down

00:50:56.660 and having a conversation

00:50:57.700 and understanding

00:50:59.380 the position of

00:51:00.860 someone who is

00:51:02.480 avowedly opposed

00:51:03.740 to the family.

00:51:04.460 Like, that's not

00:51:06.740 the kind of thing

00:51:07.240 where they can say something

00:51:08.220 and all go,

00:51:08.940 oh, okay, wow,

00:51:09.820 that's a good point.

00:51:11.700 I hadn't thought of that.

00:51:13.400 Oh, yeah, yeah,

00:51:14.160 maybe the human race

00:51:15.120 should embrace extinction.

00:51:17.700 Very interesting.

00:51:20.280 Yeah, you know,

00:51:20.680 maybe we don't need families,

00:51:22.040 the bedrock

00:51:22.720 of human civilization.

00:51:23.560 Maybe we don't need it.

00:51:24.160 You're right.

00:51:26.700 Like, it's impossible

00:51:28.440 that they could say anything

00:51:29.460 that would elicit

00:51:32.160 that reaction.

00:51:34.460 So there isn't anything

00:51:35.100 to talk about.

00:51:36.960 You know,

00:51:37.440 when you're talking

00:51:37.920 to anti-human,

00:51:39.000 anti-family nihilists,

00:51:40.820 there's really not

00:51:42.500 anything to discuss.

00:51:44.540 We are so far apart.

00:51:45.840 We're living

00:51:46.120 in different universes

00:51:47.160 and there's nothing

00:51:49.140 more to talk about.

00:51:51.460 When you're on

00:51:52.140 the pro-natalist side

00:51:53.600 and on the other side

00:51:54.620 you have the anti-natalists,

00:51:57.440 what are you debating?

00:52:00.720 Should babies be born or not 0.99

00:52:02.860 is not the kind of thing

00:52:05.340 that you can have

00:52:05.960 a productive dialogue about.

00:52:09.540 And yet,

00:52:10.340 this is the kind of,

00:52:11.200 this is what we're down to.

00:52:12.460 This is really

00:52:12.960 what we're debating.

00:52:14.560 Finding the right hire

00:52:15.500 can drag on for months.

00:52:17.480 You're either waiting

00:52:18.320 for decent candidates

00:52:19.520 to apply,

00:52:20.400 drowning in resumes

00:52:21.260 that don't fit,

00:52:22.380 or chasing down people

00:52:23.400 who aren't even

00:52:24.040 looking for jobs.

00:52:25.260 What should be straightforward

00:52:26.320 turns into a frustrating cycle

00:52:28.340 of waiting and sorting.

00:52:29.360 Well,

00:52:29.740 the future of hiring

00:52:30.880 looks much brighter.

00:53:49.820 a decade of the Daily Wire

00:53:51.160 by debuting

00:53:51.860 our new flagship show,

00:53:53.640 Friendly Fire.

00:53:54.300 We'll be debating,

00:53:55.140 disagreeing,

00:53:57.140 making headlines right now.

00:54:12.780 Join now

00:54:13.260 at DailyWire.com.

00:54:15.340 Now let's get

00:54:15.780 to our Daily Cancellation.

00:54:16.840 With the Daily Cancellation,

00:54:24.220 we have the highly viral

00:54:25.200 and already beaten

00:54:25.880 to death story

00:54:26.540 from the Philadelphia Phillies

00:54:27.660 game on Friday night.

00:54:28.580 This is a game

00:54:29.140 that was never

00:54:29.720 remotely interesting.

00:54:30.800 The Phillies beat the Marlins

00:54:31.820 by six runs,

00:54:32.840 which is about

00:54:33.320 what you'd expect to happen

00:54:35.000 if you follow baseball,

00:54:36.560 which I don't.

00:54:37.180 But just like that infamous

00:54:38.440 Coldplay concert,

00:54:39.300 people aren't focused

00:54:40.080 on the product

00:54:40.840 and how mediocre

00:54:41.960 this particular game was.

00:54:43.160 Instead,

00:54:43.520 everyone's talking about

00:54:44.420 the people in the stands.

00:54:46.060 So, you know,

00:54:46.700 that's good news

00:54:47.340 for Major League Baseball,

00:54:48.380 at least, I guess.

00:54:49.960 Now, in case you somehow

00:54:50.780 haven't seen the footage

00:54:51.820 from the Phillies game

00:54:52.860 that has gone massively viral,

00:54:54.420 put it up on the screen.

00:54:55.440 There's no audio here,

00:54:56.280 so I guess I'll narrate

00:54:57.220 the events that unfolded

00:54:58.240 as enthusiastically as I can.

00:55:01.280 So there's a home run ball.

00:55:02.440 It bounces around

00:55:03.160 in the stands for a bit

00:55:04.060 and a few people

00:55:04.780 are trying to grab it.

00:55:06.140 And then a man runs in,

00:55:08.120 takes the ball

00:55:08.720 as it's lying in the aisle

00:55:09.660 and then runs it back

00:55:10.860 to his son

00:55:11.440 and he places the ball

00:55:12.840 on his son's mitt,

00:55:14.100 apparently has an early

00:55:15.160 birthday present.

00:55:15.820 But it doesn't last there

00:55:17.280 for very long.

00:55:18.100 A woman runs in, 0.55

00:55:19.120 barks at the man,

00:55:20.420 looks very alarmed

00:55:21.260 and frankly terrified.

00:55:22.900 And he quickly

00:55:23.720 takes the ball

00:55:24.360 out of his son's mitt

00:55:25.220 and then hands it back

00:55:26.040 to the woman 0.68

00:55:26.460 with an effeminate

00:55:27.580 hand gesture

00:55:28.260 telling her to,

00:55:29.200 you know,

00:55:29.680 be gone.

00:55:30.760 And the child

00:55:31.560 looks perplexed

00:55:32.520 and frustrated,

00:55:33.560 understandably.

00:55:35.080 Now,

00:55:35.680 and that's the video.

00:55:37.000 This incident

00:55:37.500 follows similar drama

00:55:38.640 at the U.S. Open

00:55:39.420 where an adult

00:55:40.140 apparently took

00:55:40.840 a tennis player's hat

00:55:42.180 from a child,

00:55:43.660 from a boy,

00:55:44.800 leading half the internet

00:55:45.760 to dox the man

00:55:46.760 and threaten to murder 1.00

00:55:47.600 his entire family. 1.00

00:55:49.220 You know,

00:55:49.760 which is obviously

00:55:51.200 a proportionate response.

00:55:52.300 You take a hat

00:55:53.200 and you should be

00:55:55.740 villainized

00:55:56.860 across the globe

00:55:57.800 and have to move.

00:55:59.140 You should have to move

00:55:59.840 to a new home

00:56:00.540 because you took a hat.

00:56:03.000 In the case

00:56:03.720 of the Phillies game,

00:56:04.580 as you can imagine,

00:56:05.340 the same script

00:56:05.940 played out.

00:56:06.560 The woman became

00:56:07.300 the villain,

00:56:07.920 mobs of online

00:56:08.640 vigilantes doxed her

00:56:09.900 or tried to anyway.

00:56:12.820 At least they doxed

00:56:13.680 someone who looked like her.

00:56:14.980 They reportedly

00:56:15.500 identified the wrong person,

00:56:16.960 though.

00:56:18.000 Just like Reddit

00:56:18.640 falsely identified

00:56:19.500 the Boston Marathon bombers,

00:56:21.100 the internet of 2025

00:56:22.220 went all in

00:56:23.300 on some random lady 0.99

00:56:25.080 in Boston.

00:56:26.320 According to the New York Post,

00:56:27.540 Cheryl Richardson Wagner

00:56:28.740 has been roasted online

00:56:30.320 as the heartless Phillies fan

00:56:31.720 caught on viral video

00:56:32.840 throwing a stadium-sized tantrum

00:56:34.920 at Lone Depot Park

00:56:36.240 in Miami.

00:56:37.300 Bullying dad

00:56:38.360 Drew Falwell

00:56:39.300 into turning over

00:56:40.520 a home-run ball

00:56:41.260 that he gave

00:56:41.660 to his young son,

00:56:43.160 whose name is Lincoln.

00:56:44.320 However,

00:56:44.680 the crazed woman 0.99

00:56:45.380 falsely claimed

00:56:46.260 the ball

00:56:46.760 hit by Westchester County

00:56:49.580 native Harrison Bader

00:56:50.680 was rightfully hers,

00:56:52.420 earning widespread

00:56:53.100 condemnation online

00:56:54.080 over the past two days.

00:56:55.340 Footage even showed

00:56:56.040 her flipping the bird 0.88

00:56:57.120 to fans who booed

00:56:58.480 her at the game.

00:56:59.620 But the woman's identity

00:57:00.380 remains a mystery,

00:57:01.420 and Richardson Wagner

00:57:02.320 said it's definitely

00:57:03.260 not her.

00:57:05.140 Okay, everyone,

00:57:06.000 Cheryl Richardson Wagner

00:57:07.040 posted on Facebook

00:57:07.800 on Saturday,

00:57:08.640 I'm not the crazy Philly mom,

00:57:10.060 but I sure would love

00:57:10.920 to be as thin as she is

00:57:12.040 and move as fast.

00:57:14.160 And I'm a Red Sox fan.

00:57:16.060 Close quote.

00:57:17.480 The detail about the woman

00:57:18.500 flipping off the crowd

00:57:19.620 is admittedly entertaining,

00:57:21.100 so she didn't just

00:57:22.240 take the ball from the kid.

00:57:23.260 Apparently,

00:57:23.540 she also told everyone

00:57:24.400 to go F themselves.

00:57:26.120 It's enough to make you wonder

00:57:27.180 if this woman in the New York

00:57:28.120 Post story is lying

00:57:29.220 about her identity.

00:57:30.100 After all,

00:57:30.480 she has every incentive 1.00

00:57:31.780 to deny being the woman

00:57:32.840 in the video,

00:57:33.560 plus adding in the little,

00:57:35.060 you know,

00:57:35.320 humble brag detail about,

00:57:36.980 I don't know who that woman is, 1.00

00:57:38.540 but man,

00:57:39.080 she's really thin.

00:57:40.520 I don't know who that

00:57:41.460 thin, beautiful woman is. 1.00

00:57:43.220 It's definitely not me.

00:57:45.240 But no,

00:57:45.820 according to the New York Post,

00:57:46.880 they are definitely

00:57:47.980 two completely different people.

00:57:50.120 The school district,

00:57:51.000 which employs the woman

00:57:52.000 who was falsely identified

00:57:53.040 online as a culprit,

00:57:54.020 has confirmed it.

00:57:55.060 So,

00:57:56.580 safe to say,

00:57:57.240 this is not the person.

00:57:58.740 In any event,

00:57:59.320 whatever her actual name is,

00:58:01.420 the woman is predictably 1.00

00:58:02.260 being called a Karen

00:58:03.220 because she's white 0.99

00:58:04.440 and racial slurs

00:58:05.560 are fine to use

00:58:06.380 against white people. 0.97

00:58:07.460 And meanwhile,

00:58:08.280 MLB has sprung into action.

00:58:09.700 They gave the kid

00:58:10.280 a gift basket,

00:58:11.740 had to meet the Phillies team,

00:58:13.160 and he got a signed bat

00:58:14.780 and a bunch of other swag

00:58:16.000 and stuff.

00:58:17.000 It's a story that

00:58:17.700 pretty much is custom made

00:58:18.960 for shows like

00:58:19.620 Good Morning America

00:58:20.400 as viewers weigh in

00:58:21.640 on whether the man

00:58:22.340 should have taken the ball

00:58:23.080 or not,

00:58:24.040 even though obviously

00:58:24.720 he had every right

00:58:25.240 to take it

00:58:25.660 since it was in the aisle.

00:58:26.640 That's the way

00:58:26.980 these things work.

00:58:28.400 But contrary to what

00:58:29.220 the 10,000 outlets

00:58:30.400 covering the story

00:58:31.120 would have you believe,

00:58:32.260 this whole ordeal

00:58:33.220 isn't actually

00:58:33.820 a completely meaningless event.

00:58:35.180 Now, to be clear,

00:58:36.040 it is a completely

00:58:37.220 meaningless event by itself.

00:58:39.300 I mean,

00:58:39.460 it's about as interesting

00:58:40.200 as the hat theft

00:58:41.240 at the U.S. Open

00:58:42.060 or the two executives

00:58:43.980 at the Coldplay concert.

00:58:45.840 Now, I don't think

00:58:46.800 the ladies should have 1.00

00:58:47.420 taken the ball.

00:58:48.600 Okay, just to be clear,

00:58:49.660 I'm not defending the lady.

00:58:52.040 But this is not

00:58:53.000 a national emergency, okay?

00:58:55.320 I mean, at this point,

00:58:56.300 we're treating the boy

00:58:57.120 like he just lost

00:58:57.980 his entire family

00:58:58.700 in a fire.

00:58:59.940 Yesterday, Marcus Limonis

00:59:01.100 said that he was going

00:59:01.620 to give the kid

00:59:02.560 World Series tickets

00:59:03.760 and a free RV

00:59:05.340 for his family.

00:59:07.580 Okay, so he meets

00:59:08.280 the team,

00:59:08.700 he gets the ball,

00:59:09.380 he's getting interviewed,

00:59:10.280 he gets World Series tickets,

00:59:11.640 he gets a free,

00:59:12.340 he gets an RV.

00:59:13.720 I mean, it's a little much

00:59:14.520 at this point.

00:59:15.780 Next thing we know,

00:59:17.200 we're going to have,

00:59:17.740 like, the flags

00:59:18.860 at half-mast.

00:59:20.720 There's going to be

00:59:21.220 a period of national mourning

00:59:22.480 over the lost baseball.

00:59:24.960 And again,

00:59:25.240 I'm on the kid's side,

00:59:26.300 it's just like,

00:59:27.160 calm down, everybody,

00:59:28.540 a little bit, okay?

00:59:30.120 It's not that big of a deal.

00:59:32.100 It's bad,

00:59:33.000 it's not that big of a deal.

00:59:34.560 It's not the worst thing

00:59:35.640 that's ever happened.

00:59:37.660 Now, all that said,

00:59:38.540 if you look deeper,

00:59:39.320 there is something meaningful

00:59:40.360 in this story.

00:59:42.360 If you think back

00:59:43.260 to the topic

00:59:43.760 that we discussed

00:59:44.280 at the beginning of the show

00:59:45.080 about the Ukrainian woman

00:59:46.080 who was killed

00:59:46.500 on the light rail car,

00:59:47.620 there's actually a connection

00:59:48.560 that's worth thinking about.

00:59:50.700 In order to understand

00:59:51.560 the connection,

00:59:52.000 you have to look beyond

00:59:53.340 the consequences

00:59:53.980 of these respective events,

00:59:55.200 which obviously could not be

00:59:56.540 any more dramatically,

00:59:58.800 you know, distinct.

01:00:01.200 And instead,

01:00:01.880 you have to think about

01:00:02.580 broader social attitudes

01:00:04.040 and how they're reflected

01:00:05.340 in day-to-day behavior.

01:00:07.120 And once you do that,

01:00:07.880 you realize that

01:00:08.620 in a very striking way,

01:00:09.480 it's actually fitting

01:00:10.180 that these two stories

01:00:11.320 are going viral

01:00:11.960 at precisely the same time.

01:00:14.420 Now, think of it this way.

01:00:15.140 We all know why

01:00:17.220 that killer was allowed

01:00:18.220 out on the street

01:00:18.900 instead of being locked away

01:00:20.200 for the rest of his life

01:00:21.040 after committing

01:00:21.560 14 separate crimes.

01:00:23.680 It's because

01:00:24.380 our criminal justice system

01:00:25.780 is run by

01:00:26.660 and tailored

01:00:28.080 to the sensitivities

01:00:29.080 of women

01:00:30.940 like the one

01:00:31.620 who stole the baseball

01:00:32.760 from the kid

01:00:33.940 at the Phillies game.

01:00:35.860 Now, I'm not saying

01:00:36.400 this woman herself

01:00:37.140 is in the criminal justice system.

01:00:38.080 I don't know who she is 0.99

01:00:38.720 or what she does.

01:00:40.180 But it's these kinds of women. 1.00

01:00:42.580 These women feel 1.00

01:00:43.660 immense compassion

01:00:44.800 for the animal

01:00:45.960 on the light rail car

01:00:47.240 on the right-hand side

01:00:48.980 of your screen.

01:00:50.160 Every poll shows it.

01:00:52.120 Women, especially on the left, 1.00

01:00:53.440 overwhelmingly favor

01:00:54.320 so-called restorative justice

01:00:55.860 and open borders

01:00:56.680 and all that.

01:00:58.320 But in many cases,

01:00:59.220 these women are themselves 1.00

01:01:00.220 deeply cruel 0.99

01:01:01.180 and callous people

01:01:02.380 like we talked about

01:01:03.980 in the open.

01:01:05.140 And you saw that on display

01:01:06.520 in this Phillies game.

01:01:08.460 Their sympathies

01:01:08.980 are limited to

01:01:09.920 the most destructive,

01:01:11.400 dangerous, 1.00

01:01:12.680 and also non-white, 1.00

01:01:13.820 savages in the country. 0.98

01:01:15.980 And they extend

01:01:16.820 no further than that.

01:01:19.400 Put another way,

01:01:20.700 it's not that

01:01:21.220 our criminal justice system

01:01:22.240 has been feminized exactly,

01:01:23.800 as you hear people say sometimes.

01:01:25.320 It's that it has been

01:01:26.160 feminist-ized, 1.00

01:01:27.880 if that's a word,

01:01:28.560 which it isn't,

01:01:29.060 but I just made it up.

01:01:31.080 If we're being honest,

01:01:31.680 it's also fitting

01:01:32.260 that the mayor of Charlotte

01:01:33.320 literally looks like 0.96

01:01:34.380 a black version

01:01:35.220 of the Phillies woman.

01:01:36.860 I mean,

01:01:37.280 you can see her right there.

01:01:38.260 It's like she gets

01:01:38.900 the Tropic Thunder treatment.

01:01:42.140 Put some glasses on the mayor,

01:01:43.520 subtract maybe 50 pounds,

01:01:44.700 and it's reasonable

01:01:46.000 to ask the mayor

01:01:47.020 where exactly she was

01:01:48.080 on Friday night

01:01:48.680 during that game.

01:01:50.380 As we see in so many cases,

01:01:52.060 physical appearance

01:01:52.680 is often a window

01:01:53.500 into beliefs

01:01:54.200 and behaviors

01:01:54.880 and attitudes,

01:01:55.380 and that's certainly

01:01:56.580 the case here.

01:01:57.740 It's like they both

01:01:58.540 came off the same

01:01:59.220 assembly line.

01:02:00.620 The other aspect

01:02:01.500 of this story

01:02:02.080 that's not being covered,

01:02:03.020 at least not nearly

01:02:03.660 to the extent

01:02:04.080 that it should be,

01:02:04.680 is that the father,

01:02:07.140 to my mind,

01:02:08.180 is clearly the biggest

01:02:09.620 villain in this story.

01:02:11.500 And it's amazing to me

01:02:12.480 how many people

01:02:12.940 are defending him.

01:02:14.560 He took the ball.

01:02:15.720 The woman did not 0.94

01:02:16.860 take the ball.

01:02:17.440 Okay, she demanded it.

01:02:19.040 She didn't take the ball 0.97

01:02:20.180 out of the kid's glove.

01:02:21.880 The father took the ball

01:02:23.440 out of his own son's hands

01:02:25.140 and gave it to this 0.96

01:02:27.280 screaming harpy. 1.00

01:02:29.440 I mean,

01:02:29.680 it is an act of submission

01:02:31.000 made out of fear.

01:02:33.140 And his kids

01:02:33.560 will never forget it,

01:02:34.340 I'll tell you that.

01:02:34.920 Nor should they.

01:02:36.920 You can tell if you watch

01:02:38.060 any of the post-incident

01:02:39.220 interviews

01:02:39.620 with the father

01:02:41.100 and his children,

01:02:42.400 you can tell

01:02:43.040 that they've lost

01:02:44.280 all respect for him.

01:02:45.760 Watch.

01:02:47.200 I wasn't very happy

01:02:48.440 that we had to give it

01:02:49.920 to her,

01:02:50.580 but we can't win.

01:02:54.360 She was going to

01:02:55.360 get it anyways.

01:02:57.100 Sure.

01:02:57.800 She wasn't going to

01:02:58.680 take it,

01:02:59.400 but I decided

01:03:01.860 to give her the ball.

01:03:02.620 I apologize to you,

01:03:05.360 but

01:03:05.680 it was the right thing.

01:03:08.540 We just wanted her

01:03:09.100 to go away. 0.66

01:03:10.680 Yeah.

01:03:11.340 And it worked out.

01:03:12.260 You got a bat.

01:03:13.720 Yeah.

01:03:14.720 Pretty cool.

01:03:15.240 she was

01:03:18.160 very,

01:03:19.900 very,

01:03:20.200 very close.

01:03:20.900 And I'm,

01:03:21.600 you know,

01:03:22.180 I'm dad of the family,

01:03:23.840 so I didn't want to

01:03:25.220 do something I'd regret.

01:03:27.580 And

01:03:27.740 that was the choice I made

01:03:29.760 is to just hand the ball

01:03:30.700 back and

01:03:31.300 tell her,

01:03:32.740 go away. 0.82

01:03:33.240 So his son can barely

01:03:35.560 muster any kind of 0.95

01:03:36.580 enthusiasm whatsoever

01:03:37.640 as his father

01:03:38.460 seeks assurances

01:03:39.860 that he made

01:03:40.600 the right decision.

01:03:42.240 And then his daughter

01:03:43.260 gives him,

01:03:44.020 you know,

01:03:44.660 side eye as he repeats

01:03:45.740 the same effeminate

01:03:46.640 hand gesture that he

01:03:47.560 performed during the game.

01:03:48.700 And then he emphasizes

01:03:49.680 that he doesn't have

01:03:50.620 any regrets,

01:03:51.400 even though he clearly

01:03:52.140 should.

01:03:53.660 When your own children

01:03:54.660 are obviously humiliated 0.95

01:03:56.200 by your cowardice, 0.94

01:03:57.700 which was also broadcast

01:03:58.600 to millions of people,

01:03:59.920 you should absolutely

01:04:01.160 feel regret and shame.

01:04:03.300 Now,

01:04:03.920 this is not to make

01:04:04.820 too much of a minor

01:04:05.780 kerfuffle at a baseball game,

01:04:07.320 but I don't think

01:04:08.140 it's overstating the case

01:04:09.120 to say that

01:04:09.700 our culture is in the

01:04:11.120 shape it's in

01:04:11.660 because men like this

01:04:12.960 father constantly,

01:04:14.680 in virtually every case,

01:04:17.420 surrender to shrill 0.94

01:04:18.680 harpies like that woman. 1.00

01:04:21.700 Women like that 1.00

01:04:22.420 can successfully browbeat

01:04:23.740 many men without much

01:04:24.780 effort,

01:04:25.120 and they know it.

01:04:26.680 This incident was

01:04:27.940 modern American culture

01:04:28.960 in microcosm,

01:04:29.900 a shrieking,

01:04:30.600 angry,

01:04:31.060 short-haired,

01:04:31.540 middle-aged woman

01:04:32.280 browbeat a cowering,

01:04:34.680 frightened, 1.00

01:04:35.140 pathetic man 1.00

01:04:35.960 into submission, 1.00

01:04:37.200 and then confronted

01:04:38.580 with the consequences

01:04:39.300 of his cowardice,

01:04:40.380 the man insists that

01:04:41.100 he couldn't have done

01:04:42.260 anything differently.

01:04:44.560 But the thing is,

01:04:45.560 of course,

01:04:45.820 things could have gone

01:04:46.580 very differently

01:04:47.840 at that game,

01:04:48.640 and they could go

01:04:49.940 very differently

01:04:50.380 in this country, too,

01:04:51.740 at least if men

01:04:53.060 stopped behaving 1.00

01:04:53.840 like this dork 0.99

01:04:54.740 at the Phillies game. 0.97

01:04:57.060 And this is why

01:04:58.000 the woman who stole 0.97

01:04:58.880 the baseball,

01:04:59.500 and also the father

01:05:00.400 who allowed her

01:05:01.140 to steal it

01:05:01.760 are both today

01:05:03.820 canceled.

01:05:05.280 That'll do it for the show today.

01:05:06.160 Thanks for watching.

01:05:06.660 Thanks for listening.

01:05:07.240 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:05:08.200 Have a great day.

01:05:09.060 Godspeed.

01:05:09.380 Today on the Ben Shapiro Show,

01:05:17.480 the media ignore

01:05:18.220 the stabbing

01:05:18.800 of a Ukrainian refugee

01:05:19.760 in North Carolina,

01:05:20.920 and the reason

01:05:21.380 is perfectly predictable.

01:05:23.000 After the president

01:05:23.660 authorizes the destruction

01:05:24.840 of a boat

01:05:25.240 carrying Venezuelan

01:05:26.060 drug traffickers, 0.97

01:05:26.940 Democrats,

01:05:27.480 and a few Republicans,

01:05:28.660 donned sackcloth

01:05:29.440 and ashes,

01:05:30.280 and Chicago remains on edge

01:05:31.320 as Trump prepares

01:05:32.000 for a federal intervention.

01:05:33.480 All that on today's

01:05:34.120 Ben Shapiro Show.

01:05:34.660 Give it a listen.

01:05:35.080 Bye.

01:05:53.520 Bye.
