00:04:40.740 At 9.24 p.m. on November 17th, a 26-year-old white woman named Bethany McGee was sitting 1.00

00:04:48.920 on a seat in the middle of a Chicago Transit Authority train car.

00:04:52.240 She was looking through her phone, not paying much attention to her surroundings.

00:04:56.060 At the same time, a 50-year-old black man named Lawrence Reed, who had 72 prior arrests

00:05:01.560 and 15 prior convictions, including nine felony convictions for crimes including arson,

00:05:06.620 aggravated battery, drug trafficking, was seated at the far back of the CTA car.

00:05:13.700 Now, to give you a sense of the distance between these two passengers on the train, in this

00:05:18.020 image that you can see here, the woman is circled on the right and Reed is circled on the far

00:05:22.440 left at the bottom of your screen.

00:05:24.320 So they're not far away from one another.

00:05:26.220 And in case it's not clear, the woman is seated with her back towards Reed.

00:05:29.800 So she's completely defenseless.

00:05:33.640 And before long, Reed stands up, walks towards the woman, and begins pouring gasoline all

00:05:40.200 over her body.

00:05:41.260 He had purchased the gasoline just 20 minutes earlier from a local Sitco station.

00:05:45.860 Although the woman was able to briefly fight Reed off, he managed to ignite the bottle of 0.99

00:05:50.140 gasoline in his hand using a lighter, run towards the woman, and set her on fire. 0.93

00:05:54.540 He then watched from across the CTA car as her entire body was engulfed in flames.

00:06:01.540 The woman attempted to roll around on the ground to extinguish the flames before exiting the car 1.00

00:06:06.760 when it pulled to the station.

00:06:08.660 She then collapsed on the platform, gravely injured, with burns to her face and her body.

00:06:13.600 She ultimately went to the hospital in critical condition, where she's now expected to remain

00:06:17.240 there in the hospital for several months.

00:06:19.560 And Lawrence Reed casually walked away, as if nothing at all had happened.

00:06:25.920 When detectives arrested Reed the next morning, they read him his rights and began transporting

00:06:31.060 him back to the station for questioning.

00:06:33.340 While in transit, without any prompting from the officers, he celebrated what he had done

00:06:37.920 and began taunting his victim.

00:06:40.460 He yelled, burn and burn alive to the police officers.

00:06:45.040 So put another way, just three months after a young white woman named Irina Zerutska was

00:06:50.480 murdered on public transit by a black man with more than a dozen prior arrests who attacked

00:06:54.520 her from behind while she was using her phone, left her for dead and taunted her after the 1.00

00:06:58.480 fact, yet another young white woman has been violently assaulted on public transit by a black

00:07:03.560 man with an even longer rap sheet who also attacked her from behind while she was on her

00:07:07.340 phone and who also taunted her after the fact. 0.98

00:07:09.900 Uh, this is a story of black on white violence that you've almost certainly heard by now.

00:07:17.040 We briefly mentioned it last week, but it merits a much more in-depth discussion than it's

00:07:22.100 received in the national media already.

00:07:23.840 For the most part, mainstream outlets have moved on.

00:07:27.480 Now we know that if a white man had violently attacked a black woman on, on the train for the

00:07:33.560 second time in three months, of course, all of these outlets would be encouraging rioters to

00:07:39.020 level the entire city of Chicago within 24 hours.

00:07:41.660 Not that the encouragement would probably be necessary, but as it stands, you can go to

00:07:46.220 CNN's website and search the name Bethany McGee, and you will not find a single result.

00:07:52.440 To the extent that this case is receiving coverage at all, it's mostly from local news stations

00:07:56.640 who are eager to inform us that Lawrence Reed is suffering from some kind of mental illness.

00:08:03.920 So really, he's the victim here.

00:08:05.660 Watch.

00:08:06.600 Judy, Lawrence Reed has at least 14 criminal cases in Cook County going back to 2017,

00:08:13.640 six of which are battery charges.

00:08:16.480 Records appear to indicate that he may be homeless and suffering from a mental illness of some sort,

00:08:22.160 something that was clear to see for anyone inside yesterday's initial court hearing.

00:08:27.620 The question we asked today is what does this mean for his case going forward?

00:08:33.280 Speaking after yesterday's court hearing, federal investigators were unequivocal when it came to

00:08:39.040 their description of the man they say set a 26-year-old woman on fire on the CTA's blue line Monday night.

00:08:46.440 Lawrence Reed had no business being on the streets given that his violent criminal history

00:08:51.080 and his pending criminal cases.

00:08:52.620 A record search of Reed led to this, a long list of mugshots associated to crimes ranging

00:08:59.700 from driving on a suspended license to battery.

00:09:03.480 In 2020, he was sentenced to a 24-month mental health probation after setting this fire outside

00:09:09.820 the Thompson Center.

00:09:11.600 And just a few months ago, in August, he was placed on electronic monitoring after he allegedly

00:09:17.380 struck a social worker while being held in the McNeil Psychiatric Hospital in Berwyn.

00:09:23.080 In court yesterday, Reed's erratic behavior included yelling several times,

00:09:27.540 I plead guilty, while also insisting he would represent himself,

00:09:31.920 raising the question whether his competence could make it hard to secure a conviction.

00:09:36.920 I'm not aware of him ever being declared mentally incompetent in connection

00:09:40.320 with any of the other extensive criminal history.

00:09:42.600 It's almost beyond parody.

00:09:45.060 I mean, if the crime wasn't so horrific, you'd have to laugh at this.

00:09:49.160 So the career felon lies in wait on a train car.

00:09:54.000 He deliberately attacks the most vulnerable white woman he can find on the train,

00:09:58.220 a woman who's completely defenseless and unaware. 1.00

00:10:01.560 And then he runs away, demonstrating a clear awareness that he had just committed a crime.

00:10:05.840 And then when he's caught, he mocks the victim.

00:10:07.940 When he's brought before a judge, he admits that he's guilty.

00:10:12.020 Just like he was guilty of all those other offenses that he had committed,

00:10:15.800 all the other times that he assaulted people and set things on fire.

00:10:18.680 So he admits that he's guilty.

00:10:20.380 After all this, we're supposed to conclude that really, he's just unwell.

00:10:26.680 He's got some kind of horrible brain disease.

00:10:29.960 In fact, the disease is so bad that we might not even be able to put him on trial.

00:10:33.380 We might just have to sentence him to six months of therapy and cut him loose again.

00:10:39.540 Wait for him to burn someone else alive.

00:10:43.060 You know, who's to say?

00:10:43.780 He can't possibly be evil.

00:10:46.320 He can't possibly be just a horrible person.

00:10:50.680 His guilty plea can't possibly be legitimate.

00:10:53.240 He must be sick.

00:10:54.040 No, that's got to be it.

00:10:55.920 Now, it's worth pointing out that we used to have public hangings in this country within 24 hours of arrest.

00:11:02.620 If you got caught for a serious crime, even for, in some cases, nonviolent offenses like spying,

00:11:09.320 that's what would happen to you in the early days of this country.

00:11:12.840 You'd be tried, convicted, executed.

00:11:17.900 Within 24 hours, all this stuff would happen.

00:11:20.980 Very prompt, very efficient.

00:11:23.420 We used to be able to recognize evil people and evil behavior and punish it.

00:11:28.680 But that's not what's happening anymore.

00:11:30.460 And why is that?

00:11:31.120 I mean, that's the question that really needs to be answered at this point.

00:11:35.040 So let's try to answer it.

00:11:38.320 We'll start by taking a look at the judge who just let Lawrence Reed out of prison back in August.

00:11:43.600 After he slapped a social worker so hard that he knocked her unconscious,

00:11:47.920 cut the cornea of her eye, bruised her optic nerve, caused a concussion, and chipped her tooth.

00:11:52.840 After that, he was let out of jail.

00:11:55.600 And this was a judge by the name of Cook County Judge Teresa Molina Gonzalez. 0.78

00:12:02.860 Okay, that's the person responsible.

00:12:04.980 Three months ago, following his assault, prosecutors requested that Molina Gonzalez keep Lawrence Reed in prison,

00:12:11.100 because by that point, he'd already racked up more than 70 arrests and 15 convictions.

00:12:16.860 And he just violently, brutally assaulted someone.

00:12:20.560 And clearly, he was a danger to everybody around him.

00:12:24.300 Prosecutors told the judge, quote,

00:12:25.500 Electronic monitoring, the prosecutor said,

00:12:37.480 could not protect the victim or the community from other vicious, random, and spontaneous attacks.

00:12:43.300 But the public defender's office disagreed.

00:12:46.480 They told the judge, quote,

00:12:47.660 Now, that's an argument that is worth repeating.

00:12:59.980 He does not need to be incarcerated for being mentally ill and acting in accordance with his mental illness.

00:13:07.020 In other words, no matter what horrible things Lawrence Reed does,

00:13:11.040 he shouldn't be incarcerated as long as his behavior is consistent with some mental illness.

00:13:15.480 That he's acting in accordance with.

00:13:19.260 According to the public defender's office, the safety of the public is irrelevant.

00:13:23.940 That's really what they believe.

00:13:25.580 The safety of innocent people, totally irrelevant.

00:13:28.740 What matters in their view is whether a psychiatrist was willing to write you a get-out-of-jail-free card.

00:13:35.680 That's all that matters.

00:13:36.880 And this case is yet more evidence of what I've argued for a long time.

00:13:40.500 Namely, that two of the greatest dangers to our country are, one, the psychiatry industry,

00:13:47.620 and two, liberal female judges. 1.00

00:13:51.180 And when these two monstrosities come together, as they did in this case,

00:13:54.720 you end up with horrors beyond comprehension.

00:13:58.500 Okay, like women burned alive on public transportation. 1.00

00:14:01.160 That's what you end up with.

00:14:02.880 Now, the judge, according to court transcripts, sided with a public defender.

00:14:05.800 Judge Melina Gonzalez told prosecutors, quote,

00:14:08.880 I can't keep everybody in jail because the state's attorney want me to,

00:14:12.280 but I understand and respect your position.

00:14:15.420 She then told Lawrence Reed to stay away from the hospital where he had beaten the social worker

00:14:19.560 unless he had a medical emergency.

00:14:21.280 And then she told him that he'd need to wear an electronic monitoring device, quote,

00:14:25.020 because of your ridiculous criminal history and lengthy criminal history. 0.56

00:14:29.260 Yes, in court, the judge described Lawrence Reed's criminal history accurately as ridiculous.

00:14:38.400 And yet, despite that finding, she released him from jail.

00:14:43.500 Because they can't keep everybody in jail.

00:14:45.980 Oh, well, you can't keep everyone in jail.

00:14:47.240 Well, can you keep someone who's been arrested 70 times?

00:14:49.880 Can you keep them at least?

00:14:51.820 So if you can't keep everyone in jail,

00:14:54.780 that means that you can't keep a person who's been arrested 70 times.

00:14:57.240 And no, we don't need you to keep everybody in jail.

00:15:02.620 No, just the criminals.

00:15:04.900 That's not everybody.

00:15:07.920 How many criminals should you keep in jail?

00:15:09.760 Well, however many there are.

00:15:11.660 However many people are criminals, that's the number you should keep in jail.

00:15:16.300 Oh, we don't have enough room in jail.

00:15:17.720 Okay, well then build another one.

00:15:19.900 Or put more of them in a cell together.

00:15:22.960 That's uncomfortable for them.

00:15:24.640 Who cares?

00:15:26.360 Who cares?

00:15:27.620 How about that for an answer?

00:15:30.260 Squeeze them all in there.

00:15:31.320 I don't know.

00:15:31.780 They're the ones who committed crimes.

00:15:34.500 Now, of course, the so-called electronic monitoring was completely useless

00:15:37.540 because she allowed him to leave his home for 40 hours each week,

00:15:40.720 completely unsupervised.

00:15:42.140 To be clear, this ruling would be totally indefensible

00:15:45.240 if she had put him on indefinite house arrest

00:15:47.680 and said he couldn't leave his home unless he needed to buy groceries or something.

00:15:51.040 That would still endanger the public to an insane degree.

00:15:53.980 But she didn't even do that. 1.00

00:15:54.880 She imposed basically no restrictions at all.

00:15:58.240 She told him that she could leave his house for 40 hours a week.

00:16:01.320 So who is Judge Teresa Molina-Gonzalez exactly?

00:16:05.540 What is her judicial philosophy?

00:16:07.720 How did she become a judge in the first place? 0.98

00:16:10.900 Well, these are questions that no one seems interested in answering,

00:16:13.680 but they're important to answer because judges like this are the root of the problem.

00:16:17.920 They need to be exposed and removed from office.

00:16:21.960 And in order to do that, we need to understand how she rose to power.

00:16:24.980 How do these people end up in these positions to begin with?

00:16:27.900 Now, in this case, you don't need to look far.

00:16:30.140 The official website of the Illinois court system recently published an interview

00:16:33.500 featuring Judge Molina-Gonzalez.

00:16:35.720 And during this interview, she was asked,

00:16:37.700 when you reflect on your career, what accomplishment are you most proud of?

00:16:41.700 Okay, that was the question.

00:16:42.620 Now, if you're a judge and you hear that question, a good answer might be

00:16:47.400 something like, well, I apply the law fairly or I uphold the rule of law

00:16:53.540 or I've kept the public safe by sentencing violent offenders to prison

00:16:56.880 instead of letting them loose immediately after they nearly kill a social worker

00:16:59.620 or something along those lines.

00:17:01.740 I mean, after all, that's the reason we have judges, right?

00:17:04.900 But Judge Molina-Gonzalez did not respond that way.

00:17:07.620 She didn't say anything about justice or safety for the public or anything like that.

00:17:14.900 Instead, she said, and I quote,

00:17:17.460 the accomplishment that I am most proud of in my career is being the first

00:17:20.700 Puerto Rican judge ever appointed and elected to a countywide judicial position in Cook County.

00:17:27.240 As an attorney who is in court nearly every day of my career,

00:17:30.600 I never once had the opportunity to step up before a Latina judge.

00:17:33.980 Now, I am proud to say that so many other Latinas are becoming judges

00:17:38.480 and I'm excited about a judiciary that actually represents all of the community.

00:17:43.440 Now, to translate that, she's not proud of anything she's done in her career.

00:17:48.680 She's not proud of any accomplishment.

00:17:53.760 She hasn't accomplished anything.

00:17:55.500 She's proud of being Latina and infiltrating the United States judiciary. 1.00

00:18:00.500 That's it.

00:18:00.900 On so many levels, it's hard to even comprehend the mindset of someone who would give an answer like this

00:18:07.900 because productive, useful people don't consider their ethnicity to be an accomplishment,

00:18:14.560 like something that you achieved.

00:18:16.700 The answer, the question was, what have you achieved?

00:18:19.380 And the answer was, well, I'm Latina.

00:18:25.920 Oh, you achieved that?

00:18:27.320 That's a thing that you achieved.

00:18:30.300 But for this judge, you know, this is the only accomplishment that's worth mentioning, apparently.

00:18:34.860 And it's not a great mystery how she became a judge either.

00:18:37.880 In this interview, she credits another Hispanic woman with two last names, Mercedes Luque Rosales, 0.98

00:18:43.980 with jump-starting her career in the Cook County State Attorney's Office.

00:18:48.300 She made a connection with Mercedes and then, one way or another, managed to get hired at a time when 97% of applicants were rejected.

00:18:55.340 Presumably, she was hired based on, you know, merit and competence and definitely not her ethnicity,

00:19:01.780 which is the one thing she's proud of in life.

00:19:04.060 Now, it's worth going into detail on this judge's background because, at this point,

00:19:08.760 these judges need to be removed from power one way or another.

00:19:12.060 Impeachment doesn't seem to be viable since we've been calling for judges to be impeached for many months now and years,

00:19:18.160 but it's not happening.

00:19:19.480 There is, though, an alternative solution that could actually be productive.

00:19:24.440 Okay, this is something that can be done.

00:19:26.820 And that is to change sentencing law so that judges don't have any discretion in sentencing.

00:19:33.060 In these kinds of cases.

00:19:35.180 Or, at a minimum, so they don't have discretion in sentencing repeat offenders anymore.

00:19:39.960 Okay, a judge should not have the right or the power to take someone who's been arrested 70 times and put them back on the street.

00:19:48.480 Okay, I don't care about any fancy robe you wear.

00:19:50.760 It doesn't matter.

00:19:51.960 You should not have that power.

00:19:53.220 The judge should not be able to do that.

00:19:57.160 Now, the catch is that not too long ago, we used to have laws like this.

00:20:01.560 You probably remember them.

00:20:04.020 They were called three strikes laws.

00:20:05.720 And they used to be overwhelmingly popular, even in states like California.

00:20:09.160 In fact, in the mid-90s, California passed the strictest three strikes law in the country.

00:20:14.240 A third felony meant a mandatory term of life imprisonment.

00:20:17.780 But almost immediately, the law was watered down.

00:20:20.280 Not by voters, but by judges.

00:20:22.400 Within just a couple of years, the California Supreme Court invented the idea of a Romero motion where defendants could petition the court to forgive a strike as long as forgiveness was in the interests of justice.

00:20:35.820 So the voters made it very clear that they wanted a three-strike system, which by definition is not a four-strike system.

00:20:42.360 The voters wanted to prevent judges from releasing habitual criminals.

00:20:46.020 They wanted to prevent exactly this scenario.

00:20:50.020 But the judges just came in and said, no, we're going to take that power back for ourselves.

00:20:54.920 You guys voted on this, but yeah, you can't have that.

00:20:57.620 Here's what we're going to do.

00:21:00.400 Now, what happened in California is that a defendant named Jesus Romero was charged with possessing 0.13 grams of cocaine after having been convicted for residential burglary and attempted residential burglary.

00:21:12.560 So prosecutors thought they had a slam dunk case on their hands.

00:21:17.880 This is like what the three-strikes law is for.

00:21:21.220 This would be Romero's third strike, and he would go to prison for 25 to life automatically.

00:21:27.620 But the judge thought, well, that would be an unjust outcome on the theory that it's wrong to give such a harsh sentence for narcotics possession.

00:21:34.580 Poor guy.

00:21:36.180 He only had a little bit of cocaine.

00:21:37.860 He only committed burglary, attempted burglary, two other times.

00:21:42.780 Let's give him a fourth chance.

00:21:46.220 So he told the defendant he could plead guilty in exchange for the judge dismissing one of his strikes.

00:21:51.060 And somehow the California Supreme Court upheld this arrangement.

00:21:53.800 Now, of course, the big problem with the logic here is that the defendant voluntarily possessed the narcotics after he'd already committed two serious felonies and been convicted for them.

00:22:09.780 So he already committed two crimes, either one of which by itself should have resulted in a sentence of 25 to life in a sane society.

00:22:18.860 Okay, burglary should be a life sentence.

00:22:21.080 You break into someone's home to steal from them, you should just go to prison forever, and that should be the end of it.

00:22:27.320 But he did it twice.

00:22:29.060 He robbed people in their homes.

00:22:30.880 And then after those convictions, he was on notice that any additional felony would mean 25 to life sentence.

00:22:39.060 He knew this.

00:22:40.520 He knew the risk he was taking by committing another crime.

00:22:45.060 Okay.

00:22:45.620 He knew that by possessing that cocaine, he could go to jail forever.

00:22:49.180 And he did it anyway.

00:22:50.580 Somehow he still lacked the impulse control to refrain from breaking the law one more time.

00:22:55.400 And most of us can go our entire lives and never commit any felonies.

00:23:01.040 He couldn't limit himself to two.

00:23:04.580 And so this is not someone who you want to share a society with under any circumstance.

00:23:08.780 He has failed a test that no worthwhile citizen would ever fail.

00:23:14.940 And that's what these laws are about.

00:23:16.520 So it's pretty simple.

00:23:18.840 If you cannot manage to refrain from committing crime after crime after crime, we're done with you.

00:23:28.560 We don't need you in society.

00:23:30.060 You had your chance.

00:23:30.940 You had multiple chances.

00:23:32.000 And now you're gone.

00:23:32.800 And part of the reason for that law is that we recognize exactly what we're seeing in cases like what happened in Chicago.

00:23:43.160 That these criminals, these habitual criminals, they keep committing crimes.

00:23:46.480 They keep committing crimes.

00:23:47.420 The crimes tend to get worse over time.

00:23:49.460 And so either you cut it off in the interests of justice and safety, or you just let them keep committing crimes until they do something so horrendous that you have no choice but to put them in jail forever.

00:24:05.340 So California Supreme Court, they disagreed with the three strikes law.

00:24:09.540 So almost immediately, the three strikes law was watered down.

00:24:13.360 And then the propaganda began.

00:24:14.840 Corporate media outlets complained about criminals who were supposedly being sentenced to life imprisonment for relatively minor offenses like stealing golf clubs.

00:24:23.080 So California voters changed the law again so that the third strike has to be a violent felony.

00:24:28.660 And then they changed the law once more to reclassify many felonies, including drug-related felonies, as misdemeanors so they wouldn't count as strikes.

00:24:36.960 And to this day, California's three strikes law is still being weakened by the courts.

00:24:40.660 There was a ruling a few months ago by the California Supreme Court that prevents some gang-related crimes from counting as strikes.

00:24:48.800 So it just continues.

00:24:50.260 Now, in Illinois, where Bethany McGee was attacked on the train by a man with 72 arrests and 15 convictions,

00:24:56.860 there was a similar trajectory for the state's equivalent of a three strikes law,

00:25:01.140 which is supposed to punish so-called habitual offenders with increased sentences.

00:25:05.620 Illinois has had a habitual offender law in the books for many decades now, since the 1970s.

00:25:09.400 But obviously, habitual offenders aren't actually being punished with any meaningful sentence.

00:25:15.560 If they can get convicted 15 times, knock somebody unconscious, and then get out of prison immediately,

00:25:22.260 then this law is not working.

00:25:25.300 So how did that happen?

00:25:27.220 Well, as it turns out, four years ago, the so-called Safety Act was signed into law by Illinois' rotund governor, Jamie Pritzker.

00:25:35.620 This was a part of sweeping criminal justice reform, so-called, quote-unquote, as Democrats call them.

00:25:41.920 One of the reforms was to abolish cash bail, which has led to 75% of defendants simply skipping their first court date,

00:25:48.540 since there's no financial penalty for doing so.

00:25:50.520 It turns out, with a criminal, if you put them on the honor system,

00:25:53.620 it's not going to work because they have no honor because they're criminals.

00:25:56.680 Yes, because, you know, an act that supposedly provides for public safety,

00:26:01.400 three out of every four criminals in Illinois have simply stopped showing up to court.

00:26:06.520 That's public safety.

00:26:08.780 But in addition to that great innovation with the Safety Act,

00:26:12.580 Illinois lawmakers also modified how habitual offenders are treated.

00:26:16.180 And one of the big changes is that defendants, regardless of how many crimes they've committed,

00:26:21.140 are entitled to pretrial fairness, as the law puts it.

00:26:24.700 And in practice, that means they're entitled to go free as long as they promise to wear an ankle monitor.

00:26:30.300 The judge has total discretion to let a criminal, any criminal, walk right out of the courthouse

00:26:34.720 as long as he wears an electronic monitoring device.

00:26:37.440 And that led to situations like this one from the summer where a lunatic held up a federal courthouse

00:26:43.140 for nine hours, only to be released immediately.

00:26:47.820 Watch.

00:26:48.800 The man charged in a nine-hour-long standoff at the Dirksen Federal Courthouse

00:26:53.480 has been granted his release from custody.

00:26:55.980 Prosecutors say Mario Santoyo brought a knife into the building last month,

00:27:00.360 prompting that standoff.

00:27:01.600 Today in court, a judge ruling that Santoyo will be released to the custody of his sister

00:27:06.100 with an ankle monitor.

00:27:08.300 He is also being ordered to stay away from any federal buildings except for court appearances,

00:27:12.440 and he will receive psychiatric assistance.

00:27:16.160 Now imagine being one of the SWAT guys on that call.

00:27:20.120 You know, a federal courthouse downtown is being held hostage by a deranged criminal with a knife.

00:27:26.480 You bring out the armored vehicle and shut down the entire block.

00:27:30.340 They had to evacuate the entire 30-story building because of this.

00:27:33.580 Operations of the courthouse are suspended.

00:27:34.920 And after an entire day around 8 p.m., you finally take him into custody.

00:27:38.900 And then the judge lets him out a few hours later, as long as he wears a bracelet.

00:27:45.340 It's okay, the judge says.

00:27:46.560 Well, his sister is going to make sure he doesn't cause any more trouble.

00:27:50.560 It's actually astonishing, and I don't say that lightly.

00:27:53.880 I mean, this is the kind of punishment a child might receive in an elementary school

00:27:58.420 after he cheated at hopscotch.

00:28:00.040 And thanks to criminal justice reform, that's how Illinois treats literal terrorists.

00:28:07.020 Now, one point that needs to be made here, now that I think of it,

00:28:09.420 is that Lawrence Reed almost certainly had far more than 72 arrests and 15 convictions

00:28:14.180 before he lit that woman on fire on the train.

00:28:17.080 Those are just the arrests and convictions we know about.

00:28:20.440 I mean, almost certainly he had many more arrests as a juvenile that had been expunged or sealed.

00:28:25.380 I mean, we really have no idea.

00:28:27.180 On top of that, how many times have police officers detained him without any charges being filed?

00:28:33.720 Again, no one has any idea.

00:28:35.820 But we can assume that it's happened quite a lot.

00:28:38.700 I mean, that much we can assume.

00:28:39.540 But as it stands, even the official numbers are staggering.

00:28:43.820 The man who killed Irina Zarutska on the light rail had more than a dozen prior arrests.

00:28:47.880 The man who killed Logan Federico as she slept had 39 prior arrests.

00:28:53.440 At what point do we do what Bukele did and say enough is enough?

00:28:59.200 I mean, this is not actually a difficult problem to solve.

00:29:02.200 We could turn Chicago into a utopia.

00:29:05.800 I mean, in comparison to what it is now.

00:29:08.180 We could do that in a year if we wanted to.

00:29:11.360 All you have to do is take every violent criminal and put them in a cage forever or kill them lawfully.

00:29:20.020 That's how you have a civilized, safe society.

00:29:22.660 There is no other way.

00:29:25.560 That is the only way to do it.

00:29:28.440 Period.

00:29:30.180 In Chicago, somebody is shot every four hours and murdered every 19 hours.

00:29:35.500 Already this month, there have been 24 homicides.

00:29:38.700 124 total shooting victims.

00:29:41.480 By the end of the day, those numbers will almost certainly be higher.

00:29:44.100 In response to these numbers and to the attack on the train last week, J.B. Pritzker has suggested that he's open to revisiting the Safety Act in some way.

00:29:52.820 But revisions are not enough at this point.

00:29:55.100 We need laws, ideally at the federal level, that strip judges of all discretion when it comes to repeat offenders.

00:30:02.280 Okay, these judges cannot be trusted.

00:30:07.000 A lot of them are, talk about mentally ill, a lot of them are psychotic.

00:30:11.240 And we need a return to the three strikes laws of the 90s.

00:30:14.420 You know, the laws that prevent judges from clawing back any of that power.

00:30:21.980 But most of all, we need to see some kind of meaningful professional consequences for judges who let violent criminals go free.

00:30:29.440 The alternative is judicial tyranny and the elimination of civil liberties for all Americans.

00:30:36.180 This is a civil rights issue.

00:30:38.720 Because, after all, if we can't go out in public without a reasonable fear that a violent, habitual felon is going to shank us or light us on fire, then we have no civil liberties.

00:30:49.800 The first conservative lawmaker in Congress to propose some kind of solution to our rogue judiciary will also be the first conservative lawmaker in Congress this entire year to propose a genuine, meaningful improvement in the lives of Americans at all.

00:31:04.240 Before any more young women are killed or maimed for the crime of going outside in a major American city, and before any more Republicans resign from Congress, it's time that we heard some of those proposals.

00:31:21.700 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:31:28.840 The holidays will be here before you know it.

00:33:17.760 Well, we've discussed the SNAP program quite a bit on this show for good reason. 0.71

00:33:21.840 Some changes are coming to the SNAP program, the EBT program.

00:33:25.140 Changes that have made some food stamp recipients or former recipients now very upset.

00:33:34.360 Listen.

00:33:35.620 Government officials say if you are 18 to 65 years old, you don't have a disability, you don't live with kids under the age of 14,

00:33:42.800 and you don't work at least 20 hours a week, you'll likely lose your SNAP benefits.

00:33:48.280 Some people on SNAP tell me they don't know if they'll have enough money to afford groceries.

00:33:55.380 That's some bull****.

00:33:56.320 Nelson Scott is on the verge of losing access to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.

00:34:03.080 He is 38, not disabled, doesn't have any kids, doesn't go to school, and doesn't have a job.

00:34:08.980 Those are just some of the reasons he is no longer eligible for SNAP benefits.

00:34:14.040 How much should SNAP help you?

00:34:15.240 It helped me a lot. I got to get $2.92 a month.

00:34:18.240 The U.S. Department of Agriculture crackdown is led by President Trump,

00:34:22.140 who signed the one big beautiful bill into law in July.

00:34:25.460 The government shutdown stalled the November 1st deadline for implementation.

00:34:30.260 However, these changes are still coming up.

00:34:34.280 Signe Anderson is a senior director of nutrition advocacy with the Tennessee Justice Center.

00:34:39.400 Because of rules like this, we can see individuals that are going to be forced to skip meals.

00:34:47.220 She points out senior citizens and children between the age of 15 and 18 will be most impacted.

00:34:54.500 Rick Williams is a conservative political analyst.

00:34:57.040 A 15- or 16-year-old can take care of their self at home while you go work.

00:35:00.620 There's no reason you can't be working.

00:35:02.780 There are plenty of jobs out there.

00:35:04.220 Scott tells me, as a convicted felon, getting a job isn't easy.

00:35:09.220 I would get one if y'all give me one.

00:35:10.820 Y'all be felony friendly and hire us. 0.73

00:35:13.400 Okay, so you're having trouble getting a job because of your criminal record.

00:35:18.620 Well, Nelson, that sounds like a you problem.

00:35:21.260 That sounds like a problem that you're having.

00:35:23.960 That sounds like a problem that is not our problem, but is your problem.

00:35:28.720 Maybe that's why you shouldn't commit crimes in the first place.

00:35:33.040 Even though, like, actually there are plenty of jobs you can get, even as a felon.

00:35:41.400 Not good jobs, but you can get the jobs.

00:35:43.440 But think about this.

00:35:44.000 So this guy, he went out, committed a crime or crimes, however many crimes he committed.

00:35:48.060 I don't know.

00:35:48.960 And now, as a consequence, he expects that we will feed him for the rest of his life.

00:35:54.820 So his reward for committing crimes is, he expects, free food forever.

00:36:03.240 That's the deal that he demands, and it's the deal that he has enjoyed up until now.

00:36:08.620 Now, the Trump administration is obviously totally right about all of this.

00:36:12.500 I think there should be many more cuts to the SNAP program.

00:36:14.960 I think that the whole program should be scrapped, really.

00:36:16.980 But certainly, this is a bare minimum reform that should be put in place, and I guess is being put in place.

00:36:25.320 If you are an adult, able-bodied, not elderly, and you have no kids, then there is absolutely no reason why you should be getting any help from the taxpayers at all.

00:36:39.020 There's no reason why you should be getting any handouts from the taxpayers at all, period.

00:36:43.640 I mean, I would revoke all welfare, all handouts, all taxpayer, you know, quote-unquote assistance of all kinds.

00:36:51.880 From everybody who is an adult, able-bodied, and has no kids, and is not elderly.

00:37:00.920 Okay, so if, you know, those are the qualifiers.

00:37:03.680 And if you're in that group, I don't see why we should be, why you should be on the dole at all, in any form.

00:37:16.020 Like, go get a job. Any job.

00:37:19.420 And don't tell me you can't find one.

00:37:21.160 You can find one. Again, it's probably not going to be a good job.

00:37:24.900 It might be a really bad job, but it's something.

00:37:27.820 I mean, this guy, Nelson says, well, it's $300 a month he was getting in food stamps.

00:37:32.100 This guy's 38 years old, has no physical disabilities, no other responsibilities in his life.

00:37:39.040 He only has himself to look out for.

00:37:41.700 You're telling me you can't get a job that will pay you at least $300 a month?

00:37:46.040 Like, you could set up a lemonade stand and make that much money.

00:37:48.820 Like, anything.

00:37:49.960 If you're willing to put in any effort at all, at all, you'll make $300 a month.

00:37:56.820 So this is someone who wants to put in no effort towards his own life at all.

00:38:00.700 He wants to do nothing at all for himself and be provided for.

00:38:08.340 And obviously, we should not be cooperating with that.

00:38:13.900 Now, when you have kids, it's more complicated, right?

00:38:17.840 Because when you have kids and you fall on hard times, you can't just take any job.

00:38:24.440 You have kids to feed.

00:38:25.340 You have a mortgage.

00:38:25.880 You have all kinds of other obligations, probably, that come with it.

00:38:28.900 And you need to find a job that fits all those requirements.

00:38:32.840 You also, you know, if you're a functional adult, you have, and you're Nelson's age at 38, you should have a career that you've been pursuing.

00:38:41.120 You want to stay in that industry.

00:38:42.880 Getting up and moving is not so simple when you've got kids and you've got...

00:38:48.680 So that's why I'm not in favor of removing all safety nets.

00:38:53.020 I don't think we should do that.

00:38:54.080 I think it's good to have something for people who fall on hard times and need some help getting back up, especially if we're talking about families in particular.

00:39:01.640 You know, if we're talking about families, people who are elderly, or people who are actually disabled.

00:39:10.340 And, of course, we know that the category of disabled has been expanded into meaninglessness at this point.

00:39:15.520 So anyone can claim they have a disability.

00:39:17.740 And a lot of people who claim they have disabilities really don't.

00:39:19.960 But if they really do have a disability, then, you know, those are categories where I think most people, most Americans, most taxpayers would say, yeah, there should be something in place.

00:39:30.200 Like, you know, we should have something in place to help those people.

00:39:35.600 But it should be relegated to that group specifically.

00:39:42.300 And in most cases, the help should be temporary.

00:39:45.040 It's not...

00:39:45.520 This is not a lifestyle choice.

00:39:46.860 This is not permanent.

00:39:47.700 This is a temporary assistance.

00:39:50.360 That's the way it should be.

00:39:52.480 But a 38-year-old man with no physical disabilities and no dependents, no financial responsibilities at all?

00:39:59.580 No.

00:40:00.140 I mean, you need to make your own net at that point.

00:40:03.000 Like, this is just another example of suicidal empathy, that we've allowed this kind of thing to happen, that we've allowed this kind of person to exist.

00:40:13.740 Right?

00:40:14.240 This kind of person should not exist.

00:40:15.800 Not that he should be dead.

00:40:17.920 I'm saying this is, like, a grown man, able-bodied, who just doesn't work, right?

00:40:26.280 That is not...

00:40:27.420 Not that he's, like, temporarily unemployed.

00:40:30.580 Again, that's...

00:40:32.000 People become unemployed, they lose their jobs.

00:40:34.500 That's one thing.

00:40:35.520 He just doesn't work.

00:40:36.900 Like, that's just not part of his life.

00:40:38.620 Working is not something that he does.

00:40:40.480 It's not part of his life.

00:40:41.300 It's not...

00:40:42.200 It's a lifestyle choice to not work.

00:40:45.200 And that should not exist in a functional society.

00:40:47.300 That should not be an option.

00:40:50.400 You know, this is where 2 Thessalonians applies, right?

00:40:53.740 If you won't work, you won't eat.

00:40:55.560 This is where it applies.

00:40:56.860 For guys like Nelson.

00:41:00.220 You know, for when we were with you, we gave you this rule, the one who will not work will not eat. 0.99

00:41:04.640 You know, paraphrasing 2 Thessalonians.

00:41:06.760 And this is, you know, settle down and earn the food you eat, right?

00:41:13.100 And this is what it applies to.

00:41:15.260 Cases like this.

00:41:19.260 All right.

00:41:19.940 Let's take a look at a couple other things here.

00:41:24.620 Okay.

00:41:25.120 I'm going to read a caption from Instagram.

00:41:28.980 This was posted on Instagram.

00:41:29.960 The caption is,

00:41:31.340 The Garden Grove Unified School District opened its Board of Education meeting last night with a traditional Native American dance performed by Baak Garcia, a Bolsa Grand High School graduate.

00:41:44.900 The presentation was held in recognition of Native American Heritage Month.

00:41:48.180 District officials noted that the segment was included as part of ongoing efforts to acknowledge the history and cultural traditions of Native American communities.

00:41:54.920 Okay, so this school district went, they went beyond the kind of like standard cringe land acknowledgement, the cringe acknowledgement, you know, we're going to acknowledge how cringe we are, which is, you know, basically what a land acknowledgement is.

00:42:10.180 But they upped the ante.

00:42:11.700 And they, so they invited some alleged Native American dude to the meeting to have him perform his traditional dance.

00:42:22.180 And here's what that looked like.

00:42:25.220 Watch.

00:42:35.920 Okay.

00:42:36.420 First of all, that was not a traditional dance.

00:42:40.180 Okay.

00:42:40.640 That was, um, not that I'm an expert in Native American dances.

00:42:45.480 I don't claim to be, but that was very clearly a dude in a feather headdress doing the electric slide.

00:42:52.960 Okay.

00:42:53.260 That was put him in a wrinkled suit and put him on a wedding dance floor. 0.98

00:42:59.340 And he's indistinguishable from like your drunk uncle at the wedding.

00:43:03.940 That was your uncle after he's had six Sierra Nevadas and, uh, and, uh, you know, and the electric slide comes on.

00:43:11.220 That's, that's what that was either that, or it was, uh, Elaine from Seinfeld. 0.98

00:43:16.480 That was the Elaine dance from Seinfeld.

00:43:18.460 And again, I'm no American history expert.

00:43:20.860 I'm no dance history major.

00:43:22.700 I didn't major in dance history.

00:43:24.520 I'm no dance historian, but I think I clocked about five different modern dances in that traditional Native dance.

00:43:31.860 I think, so the electric slide, uh, the running man, a couple of Michael Jackson moves in there.

00:43:40.920 Um, the crip walk, he's doing a crip walk.

00:43:44.960 And we're supposed to believe this is all traditional.

00:43:47.220 We're supposed to believe that the, uh, whatever the Chumash tribe or whatever, some tribe in the Pacific Southwest in 1832 was out there before a battle doing the Cupid shuffle.

00:43:59.800 That's what we're supposed to believe.

00:44:03.140 After they raided a neighboring tribe and, uh, killed and tortured all the men and kidnapped the women and children, they, they celebrated around the campfire by doing a Cupid shuffle.

00:44:14.100 That's what we're supposed to believe.

00:44:16.160 Now, it's very obvious when you watch these kinds of things, like this particular, I mean, especially this one, this guy's just making it up as it goes along.

00:44:24.720 Um, I'm guessing, I don't know if he lied on his resume and he got into this Native American dance troupe and they, you know, and it was time for the big dance and maybe the guy, like maybe, maybe he's, you know, he's a, he's a backup dancer and someone called in sick and they had to, they had to just throw him in there.

00:44:42.140 And he, and he, and he panicked.

00:44:44.820 He was, he was just making it up, did the best he could.

00:44:50.100 And, you know, when I constantly make fun of this kind of a cringe nonsense, you know, it, it, I think it should go without saying it's not because I have anything against Native Americans, so-called Native Americans. 1.00

00:45:01.740 Now, as you know, as I have stipulated, I think it's important to stipulate the actual Native Americans, uh, we're not, we're not these people, the actual Native Americans are white Europeans.

00:45:13.120 They are the ones who are native to the country of America, the United States of America.

00:45:19.440 But, you know, just using the common term for the sake of discussion, uh, so Native Americans, I have nothing against them.

00:45:26.980 Someone today posted something, I, I posted this on, on X and somebody responded and said, why does Matt have, why does he hate Native Americans so much?

00:45:34.180 It's so weird.

00:45:34.980 Why does he have this, this, uh, this grudge against Native Americans?

00:45:38.600 I don't at all.

00:45:40.760 Actually, I'm, I'm legitimately fascinated by Native American culture.

00:45:46.480 That's the irony here is I know I, I, I'm a little hard on him sometimes, but, um, I, I'm fascinated by the culture.

00:45:55.540 I really am.

00:45:55.980 I can't tell you how many like Native American museums and festivals and historic sites we've been to with our kids because they also love that stuff.

00:46:03.200 Uh, you go into my house right now to my living room and there's like 10 books on the subject and on our, uh, on our bookshelf.

00:46:09.240 I'm genuinely interested in it.

00:46:11.220 How could you not be?

00:46:12.220 I mean, it is fascinating.

00:46:13.240 The fact that there was this whole world, right, this whole other world, this alien world, this, this primitive civilization, uh, separated from the rest of the world, isolated in this hemisphere.

00:46:25.720 For tens of thousands of years and, uh, and, uh, and then the, the modern world at the time in the 1500s, late 1400s, early 1500s, this advanced civilization stumbles on to this, this world.

00:46:44.240 That's living 5,000 years in the past.

00:46:47.100 And there's this clash of civilizations that lasted for hundreds of years.

00:46:51.580 I mean, that's an incredible story.

00:46:53.740 It really is.

00:46:54.740 And I mean, here you still had hunter gatherer societies, the most advanced, um, societies in this part of the world, you know, back in the Mesoamerican tribes, the, the Aztecs and the Mayans and the Incas, they were as advanced as ancient Europeans.

00:47:11.720 I mean, ancient Egyptians rather.

00:47:13.480 So by the time that Europeans showed up here, the, the most advanced Native Americans had gotten to where the ancient Egyptians were like 3,000 years before that.

00:47:26.960 And, uh, so it, which is interesting.

00:47:28.780 Like, it's very interesting.

00:47:31.700 And it's like, it was like going in a time machine is one of the only, uh, you know, the only kind of real life example of someone using a time machine.

00:47:41.980 It's when the European explorers got onto ships and came here in the 1500s.

00:47:47.680 It was, it was, it's the, the, the closest thing to a time machine that we've ever seen.

00:47:54.860 And, uh, these were warrior cultures, which I respect, you know, people that lived here for the most part were, you know, these were, these were strong, brave cultures.

00:48:04.580 I mean, this is not, you know, the noble savage myth takes it way too far.

00:48:08.480 Um, but it is also true that these were warrior cultures and there was a huge emphasis on being strong and brave and manly.

00:48:15.700 So there's no contempt for me towards Native Americans.

00:48:18.920 I'll tell you what I have contempt for.

00:48:21.760 I have contempt.

00:48:23.080 I have a lot of contempt.

00:48:25.680 I have like deep contempt for the relentless campaign to make Americans feel guilty for the fact that we conquered this land fair and square and built the greatest country on earth.

00:48:37.600 Uh, on it.

00:48:39.940 I have contempt for that.

00:48:42.080 I have contempt for all these endless rituals meant to show regret and remorse and deference to the side that lost the war.

00:48:53.240 Again, lost it fair and square because these were warrior cultures and this is the law that they also lived by.

00:49:03.000 If you can have it, if you can take it, like that's, if you want land, you got to take it.

00:49:10.340 And then, and if you can take it, you can take it and it's yours.

00:49:12.700 And if you can defend it, it will stay yours.

00:49:14.320 And if you can't defend it, it's not yours anymore.

00:49:16.020 That's the way the world worked.

00:49:17.020 That's the way it worked here.

00:49:20.940 So Europeans came here, played the game by those exact same rules and they won. 0.98

00:49:24.860 And that's it.

00:49:25.360 Uh, and you know, the other thing is that these rituals, they are, they are so insulting to both sides, by the way, that's what makes this, the video I just played.

00:49:36.700 So kind of illustrative is that it's meant to be this expression of white guilt, which it is, but it's also deeply insulting to the natives who have been reduced to the kind of the status of court jesters, right?

00:49:53.720 Flailing around in their feather suits, performing for the, the polite patronizing amusement of white liberals.

00:50:02.360 It's insulting all the way around.

00:50:06.020 It's just awful.

00:50:08.140 Um, and it's, it's, it's even more insulting really to native American culture to have some random weirdo dancing around like MC hammer in a rainbow feather costume.

00:50:23.000 If you have actual native American ancestry, you should be more offended by that than I am. 1.00

00:50:28.040 Um, but my main concern as an American is the, um, is that the whole routine is meant to send a message, right?

00:50:38.720 This is not about respecting native American history or, or being interested in it or anything like that.

00:50:46.800 This is about sending a message and it is a detestable message because, and it's a false, it's a false message.

00:50:53.580 It's a lie.

00:50:54.520 And the message is that America has no right to exist.

00:50:57.340 That's what all this stuff is about land acknowledgements, you know, these native American rituals, the constant, like, that's what it's about.

00:51:07.000 It's about saying that my country, your country, our country has no right to exist.

00:51:12.900 And, uh, and that's what I hate.

00:51:14.680 That's the thing that I have absolute contempt for.

00:51:17.660 You guys have heard me talk about the bearskin hoodie.

00:51:20.460 Well, the smart people are locking in their winter gear now because this is hands down the best time to prep for the coming winter.

00:51:27.680 Don't wait any longer than you already have.

00:51:29.760 Bearskin is running a 6% off deal right now, but only if you get your hoodie early.

00:51:34.100 Uh, this hoodie, which I'm, which I, uh, am wearing right now, in fact, is built like a tank.

00:51:40.240 Micro fleece, 10 pockets with a clean, rugged fit that, uh, looks awesome.

00:51:45.240 I think it looks great.

00:51:45.920 And, which is hard to do, which is, it's hard to make something look good on me, but somehow they pull it off.

00:51:51.640 And also it's, it's very comfortable and it's, uh, and it's got utility.

00:51:55.180 I mean, it's, it's, uh, you know, it's, it's, it's practical as well.

00:51:57.820 So it combines all the things you want, style, practicality, uh, and comfort.

00:52:01.680 Plus it zips right into the heavy storm rain jack to become a hundred percent waterproof when you need it.

00:52:07.540 Now, as you can see, I'm, uh, as I said, wearing my bearskin hoodie, uh, right now.

00:52:11.700 And if you want to get your own bearskin hoodie, I mean, if you're inspired by how dashingly handsome I look in this,

00:53:37.640 Here's a story from a few days ago that I haven't mentioned, but I feel like I need to.

00:53:41.440 I mean, there's not much to say about it, but I feel as though I must make mention of it.

00:53:47.600 Really, in fairness, in fairness, I should, because we talk about hate crime hoaxes a lot on this show.

00:53:51.800 Well, New York Post has this, if you haven't heard about it.

00:53:54.160 A former New Jersey GOP aide allegedly paid a fetish artist to carve dozens of cuts into her skin 0.97

00:54:00.160 and had someone scrawl Trump whore on her stomach in order to claim that she was the victim of a politically motivated violent attack. 0.98

00:54:07.720 According to shocking new court documents, Natalie Green, 26, was arrested Wednesday,

00:54:12.140 charged with concocting the violent, bogus ambush at Egg Harbor Township Nature Reserve on July 23rd.

00:54:18.160 The prosecutor said the accused fraudster claimed three gun-wielding men approached her

00:54:22.760 and a friend on the trail around 10.30 p.m. before threatening to shoot her and hitting her in the head.

00:54:27.660 The suspect said the fictitious attacker then hogtied her and then cut her and slashed her because, you know,

00:54:34.240 because they don't like Trump.

00:54:35.500 So we finally have our very own Jussie Smollett, apparently. 0.96

00:54:40.960 There are pictures of what this woman did to herself or had done to her that are quite grisly,

00:54:46.440 and I don't even think we can put them on the screen because they're very grotesque, pretty ghastly stuff.

00:54:52.900 But, you know, it turns out it was all a hoax.

00:54:58.680 I will say two things.

00:55:00.400 Number one is the first right-wing hate crime hoax that I can think of.

00:55:06.220 You notice how no conservative ever took this seriously?

00:55:09.460 I guess it happened in July, and no one even heard.

00:55:12.940 If anyone heard about it in July, it's like any conservative who heard about it would have said,

00:55:16.640 well, that's clearly fake.

00:55:17.760 That didn't happen.

00:55:19.880 So that's one of the differences.

00:55:22.700 You know, on the right when it comes to hate crime hoaxes is, number one, they almost never happen on the right.

00:55:27.740 This is the first one.

00:55:29.760 And we don't take them seriously.

00:55:32.300 This is not the difference between that and something like Jussie Smollett.

00:55:36.940 And I will also say, I think it should be said, you know, this woman, she put some effort into it.

00:55:44.260 Okay?

00:55:44.500 I'm not endorsing it.

00:55:46.500 It's not good.

00:55:47.860 She's obviously insane. 1.00

00:55:49.300 I mean, this is an insane person.

00:55:50.820 She needs, she actually does need psychological help, and she should go to, she should go to jail for this. 0.90

00:55:55.920 But also, this woman needs some psychological help. 0.79

00:55:58.040 But faking a hate crime is evil, so she's evil and insane. 1.00

00:56:04.800 Allegedly, you know, allegedly, that's the, those are the, that's the, what she's been charged with, seems to be the case.

00:56:12.480 But I also can't help but notice that, you know, the right finally gets its first hate crime hoaxer,

00:56:18.760 and it's someone who puts some real effort and time into it.

00:56:24.280 Which goes to show, we value effort and hard work.

00:56:28.400 As conservatives.

00:56:29.980 Whatever you do, give it your all.

00:56:32.580 Give it 100%.

00:56:33.620 As we always say.

00:56:36.480 And she applied that principle here.

00:56:38.320 I mean, you gotta admit.

00:56:40.020 Because these left-wing hoaxers, the thing about, like, they, they, not only are they dishonest, obviously,

00:56:45.860 but they don't, they don't put any effort into it.

00:56:49.200 There's no effort.

00:56:51.180 They don't even have, they don't have half the ingenuity of our hoaxers.

00:56:55.120 Okay?

00:56:55.340 They don't have the go-get-em attitude.

00:56:59.240 Pull yourself up by your bootstraps and go out there and put your all into that hoax.

00:57:06.300 Which is what she did.

00:57:07.280 And there's a lot of commitment.

00:57:10.000 I mean, she committed to the bit because she's going to have these scars forever.

00:57:13.980 She's mutilated forever.

00:57:15.740 So, you know, think about Jussie Smollett.

00:57:20.000 Like, Jussie Smollett, yeah, I mean, he did put a little bit of effort into it, but even for him, it was like, okay, well, you want these guys to beat you up.

00:57:29.380 He didn't, they didn't really beat him up.

00:57:31.840 Okay, this woman, she went out and said, okay, like, mutilate me. 1.00

00:57:35.480 Okay, I'm, we're going to, I'm going to disfigure me, is what happened with her. 0.99

00:57:40.700 Jussie Smollett, he had like maybe a small bruise on his cheek, maybe, if that.

00:57:46.000 Okay, he didn't, he didn't have the commitment to it.

00:57:47.660 If you're going to do it, do it.

00:57:51.620 So, there's a lesson in there for all of us, I think.

00:57:57.520 Now, we talked about this Afton Bain character yesterday who's running in the special election in Tennessee, and she became a public figure like 10 minutes ago.

00:58:05.080 And it's been a rough 10 minutes for her because everything that's come out about her has been humiliating.

00:58:10.300 So, here's the latest.

00:58:11.540 This is Afton Bain talking about a recurring dream that she has.

00:58:17.460 Now, normally, I hate listening to people talk about their dreams.

00:58:21.880 There's nothing more tedious than a dream story.

00:58:26.480 There's nothing less interesting than a dream story.

00:58:28.760 You should know that if you're one of these people who goes around and say, well, guess what, can I tell you about this dream I had?

00:58:35.920 There's nothing I dread more than a conversation that opens with that line.

00:58:39.560 Hey, I had a dream, I had a crazy dream last night.

00:58:41.940 And, of course, when someone opens that, like, if you open that way with me, I had a crazy dream last night.

00:58:50.000 In fact, I was talking to someone the other day, recently, and they said that I had a crazy dream last night.

00:58:56.420 And I'm supposed to say, oh, you did?

00:58:58.260 Tell me all about it.

00:58:59.460 But I'm not going to play that game.

00:59:02.640 So, I say, oh, really?

00:59:04.400 Okay.

00:59:05.900 Hmm.

00:59:07.440 Nice story.

00:59:08.300 Anyway, because I don't want to hear it.

00:59:10.120 The dream stories are meandering, long.

00:59:14.040 Like, they don't go anywhere, plotless.

00:59:15.820 Ninety-eight minutes later, they're still telling you about their dream.

00:59:23.080 So, all that to say, I'm usually not big into the dream stories.

00:59:27.120 But here is one that is actually pretty revealing that this Afton Bain decided to tell someone about.

00:59:33.920 And we have the audio of it.

00:59:35.760 Here's what it is.

00:59:37.280 Listen.

00:59:37.460 My therapist always asks me to transcribe my dreams when they happen.

00:59:44.960 And the recurring dream I've had is standing up in a cafeteria full of women. 1.00

00:59:51.400 I don't know why I was there or whatever.

00:59:53.560 And saying, I don't want children.

00:59:55.300 I want power.

00:59:56.420 And just screaming it at the top of my lungs.

00:59:59.020 And for someone who grew up with my mother telling me, never have kids because you will, you know, you'll have to give up a lot.

01:00:08.880 You'll have to sacrifice professionally, which is what she was saying.

01:00:11.360 And where I am now with seeing the consequences and the ramifications of women having kids and being in the political field and what they're able to achieve, because we don't offer, you know, it's like the political field hasn't met the challenge of working moms. 0.90

01:00:29.240 They really haven't.

01:00:30.160 But also the deeply patriarchal structures that these women are involved with because they've chosen marriage and they've chosen to raise children. 1.00

01:00:43.680 And I think in the South, it's incredibly difficult to shake those, especially if you've grown up here and that's all you've been told is the definition of success.

01:00:53.700 The metrics of success, how many kids you have, the bigger, the square footage of your house.

01:00:59.100 Yeah.

01:00:59.940 And where your kids go to school.

01:01:02.020 I don't want children.

01:01:03.640 I want power, she says.

01:01:05.400 And that about sums it up.

01:01:07.960 All right.

01:01:08.540 That tells you the whole story.

01:01:10.760 And before we get to that, I think the first lesson here is once again, that therapy is totally worthless.

01:01:16.980 Therapy usually does more harm than good, because why is your therapist telling you to transcribe your dreams?

01:01:24.820 Okay.

01:01:25.360 Your dreams don't mean anything.

01:01:26.860 I got news for you.

01:01:27.680 If you're sitting around, you have a dream, you're like, what did that mean?

01:01:31.360 What is it?

01:01:31.980 What does that mean?

01:01:33.160 What is the dream?

01:01:33.800 It doesn't mean anything.

01:01:35.480 Okay.

01:01:35.620 It's just random synapses in your brain firing.

01:01:37.680 It doesn't mean anything.

01:01:38.560 It does not mean anything.

01:01:40.140 You're wasting your time sitting around looking for the, no, there's nothing prophetic.

01:01:44.420 Okay.

01:01:44.860 It doesn't mean anything.

01:01:46.460 That's what your dreams mean.

01:01:47.340 Nothing.

01:01:49.280 So it's a waste of time, but that's all that therapy really is.

01:01:51.420 It's a waste of time.

01:01:52.260 Narcissistic, self-involved people like Afton Bain go to therapy so that they have an excuse

01:01:58.860 to talk about themselves incessantly, which is also all they talk about when they're not

01:02:04.980 in therapy.

01:02:06.040 But they spend the whole time like diving into their own egos, their own psyche, trying to

01:02:11.280 find the depths and nuances, right?

01:02:14.640 Plunge the depths of their inner life.

01:02:17.320 And it turns out that there's no depth at all.

01:02:20.340 There's nothing going on there.

01:02:21.860 These are shallow, ridiculous people.

01:02:23.940 And it's really not any more complicated than that.

01:02:27.600 That is the problem.

01:02:28.600 For most people who go to therapy, their problem is that they are shallow and ridiculous.

01:02:33.220 And if their therapist was being honest with them, they would say that.

01:02:36.980 They would listen to them tell their whole story.

01:02:39.080 And in the end, they would say, okay, well, I think I've identified your problem.

01:02:42.320 You are a shallow, ridiculous person.

01:02:44.800 You are a boring, shallow person.

01:02:46.760 Your life is not interesting.

01:02:48.500 Your problems are not interesting.

01:02:51.200 And that's it.

01:02:52.760 And I can't help you.

01:02:54.020 And this is just who you are.

01:02:56.580 And so the best thing I could say is like, stop talking so much.

01:03:01.940 Don't inflict yourself on other people.

01:03:06.000 That's what the therapist should say.

01:03:07.820 But they won't.

01:03:09.440 But as to the issue at hand here, yes, this is feminism in a nutshell. 1.00

01:03:13.240 You know, women giving up family life, rejecting motherhood because they're selfish. 1.00

01:03:17.380 They lust for power and material gain.

01:03:20.220 And they, you know, give up the love and fulfillment of family life in order to obtain it.

01:03:25.580 But then they inevitably discover that they will never actually have all the power and wealth that they want or anything close to it.

01:03:32.820 And even if they do achieve it, they still aren't happy.

01:03:35.780 And they can't be because all this stuff is meaningless and empty if you're just doing it for yourself.

01:03:42.860 Amassing power and wealth just for yourself will never make you happy.

01:03:46.720 That's kind of the caveat to the, you know, money doesn't buy happiness idea.

01:03:51.000 It's that money for its own sake, power for its own sake, that will not make you happy.

01:03:56.020 Now, money can, can help you be happy.

01:04:01.360 It can, it can, it can help to lead to a happier life if, if you're not obtaining it for its own sake.

01:04:10.740 And so like if you have a family and so then you make money when you can provide for your family, you can, you can, you can give things to your family and, and that can help to make you happy.

01:04:20.600 And that's a very satisfying feeling is being able to provide for other people.

01:04:26.500 And so in that sense, you know, money can buy happiness in that sense.

01:04:30.100 But if it's just for you, then at a certain point, very quickly, you're going to kind of look around and go, well, what's the point?

01:04:40.660 And after all that, you're still left with yourself.

01:04:43.260 And for someone like Afton Bain, her problem is that she is, again, a, a ridiculous, miserable person and doesn't matter how much power you have or how much money you have. 1.00

01:04:52.060 That's still going to be the case.

01:04:53.980 But there's another point here that I want to make about this because a lot of people have pointed out the obvious about it.

01:04:59.480 I haven't seen anyone make this point, which is, which is this, that, you know, giving up motherhood for the sake of power, isn't just selfish and shallow and morally repulsive.

01:05:11.040 It's also counterproductive.

01:05:14.280 You know, it's like saying that it's like if a person said that they care so much about being physically attractive, the only thing they care about in the world is being physically attractive.

01:05:21.700 And so they're giving up exercise.

01:05:25.420 Well, you know, it's a problem that being physically attractive is the only thing that matters to you in life.

01:05:31.600 But also, if you want to be attractive, you just gave up the main thing that will make you attractive.

01:05:37.920 So it doesn't make any sense.

01:05:39.960 And it's like that here.

01:05:41.560 If you want power, if you want influence, well, there's almost certainly nothing you'll ever do in your life, no position you'll ever hold, that will make you more powerful or give you more influence than you would have as a mother or a father, as a parent.

01:05:57.740 Now, that's not a good reason to have kids.

01:06:00.900 Okay, don't get me wrong.

01:06:02.120 You should not have kids because you want power and influence.

01:06:04.880 That would be a very weird reason to go have kids.

01:06:07.380 But it is simply true that having kids gives you power and influence over the future of this country in a way that almost no other job or position ever could.

01:06:18.520 As a mother, you are shaping their lives, the lives, the souls, the minds of your children.

01:06:24.780 And nobody will ever have more influence or power over your children than you do.

01:06:30.440 And then your children will go out and have their own lives and their own children.

01:06:38.280 And no one, I mean, you and the father, like between the parents, no one will have more influence or power over your children than you.

01:06:45.260 And then your children will go out and, again, they have their own lives and then they have their own children.

01:06:51.700 And the things that you do, the decisions that you make, will reverberate for generations.

01:06:58.260 I mean, if you're a bad mother, your children's children's children's children will still be paying the price 150 years from now.

01:07:09.080 And in some ways, in ways that they won't realize, they won't know where that traces back to.

01:07:15.300 But there's a good chance if you're a bad mother, that sends your children off on a course that will reverberate for decades and decades and even centuries.

01:07:26.740 If you're a good mother, they'll be reaping the benefits for generations.

01:07:31.020 So this is generational influence.

01:07:32.880 It's immeasurable.

01:07:33.760 Now, on the other hand, if you go off and become some corporate middle manager somewhere, do you understand how little power and influence you actually have?

01:07:48.100 That's what's so absurd about these women who say, no, I want to make a difference in the world. 1.00

01:07:52.860 I want to have power.

01:07:53.840 I want to have influence.

01:07:55.080 And so I'm not going to become a mother.

01:07:56.040 I'm going to go get a job at some corporation, you know, where I get to sit in a 10 by 10 office, you know, on the third floor.

01:08:12.120 And what, that's supposed to be the power and influence?

01:08:16.320 No, you are totally replaceable in your job.

01:08:20.240 And that's true for almost everyone in almost every job.

01:08:23.840 Not, there are, there are exceptions, but almost everyone in almost every job, you are totally replaceable.

01:08:32.480 You don't actually matter that much because you could quit tomorrow and it would make no difference.

01:08:38.780 You could quit tomorrow and they'll find someone else to do whatever it is you do.

01:08:42.680 And, um, and it won't matter that much.

01:08:47.620 Uh, and nobody will even remember a week from now that you ever even worked there.

01:08:54.840 And then if you go off and become what, a Congresswoman?

01:08:58.180 Who cares?

01:08:59.980 I mean, do you understand how little power and influence people in Congress actually have?

01:09:05.060 Most people in Congress will, they'll be in Congress for years or decades and it will be like they were never even there.

01:09:11.280 They'll never do anything that matters.

01:09:13.760 You could swap them out and put in a wax figure in their place and it wouldn't make a difference.

01:09:17.820 You could get rid of Congress and replace them all with scarecrows and it would be the same.

01:09:21.240 You know, and now Congress in theory can pass, is supposed to pass laws and that makes a difference.

01:09:29.860 But for the most part, you're just voting along party line and anyone can do that.

01:09:33.640 It doesn't need to be you casting that vote.

01:09:35.140 It could be just anyone.

01:09:39.360 So, you know, this woman, Afton Bain, she, uh, she doesn't want to be a mother. 1.00

01:09:44.260 She wants to be in Congress. 0.99

01:09:45.340 Well, wow.

01:09:47.260 Good for you.

01:09:48.140 So impressive.

01:09:48.900 You know, there have been like four members of Congress in the past 30 years who have made a difference at all.

01:09:55.040 And, uh, Afton Bain is not going to be the fifth.

01:09:58.960 And I think that we know that.

01:10:02.780 So you give up all that.

01:10:04.940 You give up actual fulfillment, actual happiness, actual influence, actual power.

01:10:09.400 And, um, and, and, and in its place, you, you work at some, you know, job in an office building somewhere.

01:10:23.520 And, uh, and you work there for a number of years and then you leave and someone else comes in and takes your job and it just doesn't matter.

01:10:31.780 It's not like that as a mother.

01:10:35.280 That's the other thing, you know, like when you're, when you're in, in your job as a, as a manager somewhere, you leave and it doesn't matter at all.

01:10:43.460 Like no one's going to be mourning that you left.

01:10:46.300 Probably there'll be more people who are happy that you left than there are sad about it.

01:10:49.480 Even the ones who are sad, like by Monday, it's like, doesn't matter.

01:10:52.500 But now as a mother, uh, if you refuse to do your job, if you quit your job as a mother, refuse to take care of your kids, then that is devastating.

01:11:06.680 You have devastated the lives of these, of these children.

01:11:12.500 If you die, you know, if you, if you can't do your job as a mother anymore because you've died, uh, total devastation, which again could, could last for generations.

01:11:22.300 In some form, but this is what feminism encourages women to do is to give that up for, um, you know, to become Afton Bain. 1.00

01:11:33.960 I cannot imagine a, a fate, uh, worse or, or more pathetic than that.

01:11:38.780 All right.

01:11:39.680 We'll, uh, wrap it there for today.
