The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 376 - Biden Babbles And Warren Lies

00:00:00.000 Well, I have to tell you guys, I think this is perhaps the greatest failure of Trump's

00:00:04.220 presidency. He has on this issue shown an almost bewildering lack of leadership and frankly,

00:00:12.480 even interest. When Eric Swalwell farted, the whole night passed, much like the gas passed

00:00:19.600 from Swalwell and Trump said nothing, issued no tweet. Okay. And then the next day comes,

00:00:25.700 still nothing. We've got a Democrat farting on live TV. Donald Trump somehow, for some reason,

00:00:33.680 says nothing about it at all. And as if that wasn't bad enough, this morning, Trump tweeted

00:00:39.360 about Swalwell. We finally got the Swalwell tweet. I saw Trump's Twitter, Swalwell. I'm thinking now

00:00:45.100 it's finally here. Still didn't mention it. This morning, Trump tweeted, this is what he said.

00:00:50.700 Why do Shannon Bream and Fox News waste airtime on Democrat representatives, Eric Swalwell,

00:00:54.920 who recently left the presidential primaries, having attained a grand number of zero in the

00:00:58.220 polls. I don't even know how that is possible. Fox should stay with the people that got them

00:01:02.400 there, not losers. Come on. He even says waste airtime, but then doesn't throw in a thing about

00:01:10.400 the fart. All you need was something in the parentheses about the fart. And this is like

00:01:15.340 criticizing. This is like if Trump was criticizing OJ and didn't mention the fact that he killed two

00:01:20.620 people or criticizing, you know, John Travolta and didn't mention Battlefield Earth. It just,

00:01:25.420 I know it's obvious, but at the same time, you can't leave that out. What did we elect Donald

00:01:30.620 Trump for if he's not going to tweet about Swalwell's farts? I thought we'd easily have 15 or 20 tweets

00:01:36.640 by now. How is it the moment that happened, they should have been in the Oval, they should have been

00:01:41.200 in the war room coming up with a strategy. How was he not giving an address to the nation from the

00:01:45.880 Rose Garden the next day about this? I can tell you one thing. When I am president, I promise you

00:01:52.120 that if one of my opponents farts on live TV, it will be the only thing I talk about for the next

00:01:57.080 month. I will give a, an address to a joint session of Congress about it. I won't let you down the

00:02:05.100 way that Trump has let us down. And I don't understand this. Something's going on here with

00:02:10.800 Trump. Now I'm going to get to the bottom of it, so to speak. Uh, anyway, debate last night. So

00:02:18.300 Democrat debate, um, another one halfway through, I checked halfway through the debate. I checked,

00:02:24.300 uh, online just to see how many of these things we've got coming up still. And they're going to

00:02:28.760 do seven more. They've got seven more of these debates coming up, but they get progressively more

00:02:34.140 boring with each one. Although I was pretty upset last night because I'm watching it. I'm gritting my

00:02:40.100 teeth, getting through it, using all my willpower, a heroic effort. If I must say, especially because

00:02:47.840 before the debate, I'm thinking, okay, I got to do some debate prep because I got to watch this thing.

00:02:54.180 I go to the liquor cabinet. I realized I'm out of bourbon. Now me running out of bourbon is unheard

00:03:01.040 of. I don't know how that's an, that's an oversight already, but running out of bourbon before a debate

00:03:06.540 that I was ashamed by that embarrassed. Um, and then I had to go through the entire debate without

00:03:13.780 it. So, uh, finally about, I don't know, maybe about hour and 15 minutes into it. I, I give up,

00:03:20.100 can't take it anymore. Almost bored, bored to death, literally almost bored to death on the verge of

00:03:25.400 cardiac arrest. So I turned the TV off and apparently it was, it was right when I turned it off

00:03:31.860 that Joe Biden said, blah, African American, right? When I turned it off. I mean, this is,

00:03:39.500 I paid my dues. I watched it for, for 75 minutes. I put my time in. I deserve to see that live when

00:03:46.820 it happened. I deserve the reward of hearing Joe Biden live say blah, African American. Those are the 1.00

00:03:55.160 moments we long for when we're watching these debates and, and I missed it, but I suppose this

00:03:59.400 is why God made YouTube thankfully. So, uh, we can, we can relive it. And actually Biden's entire

00:04:06.060 answer on race was, was pretty great. Watch this. I, uh, you know, I'm part of that, that Obama

00:04:12.760 coalition. I come out of the black community in terms of my support. If you notice, I have more

00:04:18.580 people supporting me in the black community that have announced for me because they know me. They

00:04:23.200 know who I am. Three former chairs of the black caucus, the only black African American woman that

00:04:28.880 had ever been elected to the United States Senate, a whole range of people. No, my point is true.

00:04:34.720 The other one is true.

00:04:37.540 I said the first, I said the first African American. So my point is, my point is that one of the reasons

00:04:46.660 I was picked to be vice president was because of my relationship, longstanding relationship with the

00:04:52.940 black community, black, African American. I, you could tell that he was, he was going in with black,

00:04:58.520 right? And then he realized that the more halfway through saying black, you realize the more PC thing 0.56

00:05:03.700 is African American. So then he tries to change, but you can't, if you've already started with black, 1.00

00:05:08.900 you just have to commit. You can't, you can't switch midstream. And that's, that's just a good general

00:05:13.500 rule of thumb. When you're talking about races and ethnicities, if you're going with one thing,

00:05:17.940 don't switch. So it's like, if you, if you started to say Hispanic, uh, and then you realize halfway

00:05:23.340 through that Latino is the more popular thing to say these days, you can't try to switch because 0.61

00:05:27.580 then it's going to come out as his Tino. And then what you've done is you've made up a new term for

00:05:32.780 a race and, or, or an ethnicity. And I think this is again, general rule of thumb as a politician

00:05:39.700 is, uh, you don't want to come up with new terms for races and ethnicities. You really want to stick 0.99

00:05:45.880 with the established ones. You don't want to accidentally make up a new one. That's, that

00:05:50.800 is, that's a rookie mistake that Joe Biden made at the age of 78. Uh, and then the interesting thing

00:05:57.500 is that Joe Biden claims to have come out of the black African American community, which, so I guess

00:06:03.960 he's saying that he is black or I, I, I don't know. It's just profoundly awkward all around. You've got

00:06:10.140 this old white guy talking about the black African American community, just trying to, trying to claim

00:06:14.660 that he's got the most support among black people out of anyone on the stage talking about his

00:06:19.000 credentials on race. Then you get the split screen with an actual black man listening to him. 0.67

00:06:24.100 And it's really awkward. In fact, all of Joe Biden's answers become 50 times more awkward.

00:06:31.700 If we get the split screen of someone reacting to what he's saying in real time, it doesn't matter

00:06:36.140 what he's saying. It's just, it's always because the reaction from the other person, whether it's

00:06:41.580 another candidate, somebody in the audience, you're cut, your expression is always when you're

00:06:45.960 listening to Joe Biden and give an answer, you're kind of always like, yeah, it's, you got this

00:06:50.680 express, it's kind of the expression that you have when you're watching football and somebody's knee

00:06:55.660 bends the wrong way. And you're just like that. Um, and that's, that's the expression. Every time

00:07:02.540 Joe Biden starts to talk very painful, very painful, very painful moment or Joe mint as,

00:07:09.920 as he might say, Joe Biden was also asked about domestic violence. Now this should be a layup.

00:07:17.380 Okay. You're being given a chance to talk about why domestic violence is bad. You can't ask for more

00:07:25.080 of a softball than that as a politician, but this is Joe Biden. We're talking about.

00:07:29.920 And here's the interesting thing though. I've noticed this, and this is kind of a formula and

00:07:35.360 equation with Joe Biden doesn't hold up every single time, but sometimes he just dives right

00:07:40.060 in with the crazy, like he did with, like he did with black African American. But, uh, generally I've 0.94

00:07:46.220 noticed that he can give kind of a good, at least decent passable answer for 60 seconds. 60 seconds is

00:07:53.580 Joe Biden's cutoff. He could talk about something usually for 60 seconds and everything would be

00:08:00.120 basically fine. Once he goes over that 60 second marker, that's when he hits a landmine and everything

00:08:07.780 falls apart. And I'll show you what I mean. So let's watch, here's his answer on domestic violence.

00:08:14.720 Let's watch the first 60 seconds and, uh, and then we'll, we'll go to the next, but here's the first 60

00:08:20.380 seconds of his answer. Yes. And by the way, it's one of the reasons the first thing I would do is

00:08:24.740 make sure we pass the violence against women act reauthorization, which I wrote the fact I didn't

00:08:29.720 write the reauthorization. I wrote the original act. The fact is that what happens now is that we

00:08:35.860 in fact have to fundamentally change the culture, the culture of how women are treated. That's why as 1.00

00:08:42.740 vice president, when I asked the president, I could start the movement on the college campuses to say

00:08:48.500 it's on us. It's everyone's responsibility. We do not spend nearly enough time dealing with,

00:08:55.420 I was stunned when I did a virtual town meeting that told me 30,000 people were on the, on the call,

00:09:02.360 young people between 15 and 25 and found out, I said, what do you need? What do you need to make

00:09:08.560 you safer on college campuses and on your schools? You know what they said, get men involved, 1.00

00:09:13.460 engage the rest of the community. And that's what we started this movement on the college campus is

00:09:19.340 to fundamentally change the culture. Okay. So that's fine. Right. Pretty good. No problem.

00:09:25.380 Not great, but passable. He'll get by. But then the witching hour hits the clock strikes 60.

00:09:34.280 Joe Biden turns into a pumpkin. And this is the pivot point. Okay. He's on the right path,

00:09:39.960 saying the right thing, but then he gets to a rhetorical fork in the road and one path points

00:09:46.800 to normal. One path is sort of normal, wrap it up. You're done. The other path points to crazy

00:09:55.280 nonsense. Like he sees a sign, you know, arrow, crazy nonsense this way, normal that way. And for

00:10:02.220 some reason he's already been on the path for 60 seconds. And he says, well, I guess I'll just go

00:10:05.480 with the crazy nonsense. And he goes down that path. So let's watch the pivot, the change of

00:10:10.700 direction and everything falls gloriously to pieces. No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman 1.00

00:10:19.760 in anger other than in self-defense. And that's rarely ever occurs. And so we have to just change

00:10:26.420 the culture period and keep punching at it and punching at it and punching at it. It will be a big,

00:10:32.000 no, I really mean it. It's a gigantic issue. And we have to make it clear from the top,

00:10:39.460 from the president on down, that we will not tolerate it. We will not tolerate this culture.

00:10:45.840 Now, before we analyze what we all just heard there, look at Joe's expression at 133 in that clip.

00:10:53.700 Can we just show the freeze frame 133? That's the expression of somebody who knows that,

00:10:59.460 and that's right after he was done talking. And he knows that he just said some crazy crap. He knows

00:11:04.300 it. That's him in his head going, oh no, why did I just, did I just start, did I just say punching

00:11:09.880 at it? Did I just say that? That was a mistake. That was a mistake. The pivot point here was when he

00:11:17.240 started stipulating the circumstances, when it would be okay to hit a woman. That's when now we're, 0.93

00:11:24.460 now we're off the rails. And he's right. Of course it, it, it was, it is okay to hit a woman in 0.99

00:11:29.980 self-defense. I think obviously, right. Does anyone think that, uh, that a woman has some sort of

00:11:35.400 mystical right to just beat the crap out of whoever they want without ever, without anyone ever defending

00:11:40.640 themselves? Of course he's correct in saying that, but just in terms of optics, in terms of politics,

00:11:46.500 it's not a great idea to get into that. There's no reason to, you weren't asked about that.

00:11:51.200 The question wasn't, when is it okay to hit a woman? Uh, that would not be a question that I

00:11:56.080 would expect to hear in an MSNBC debate. So he's talking about domestic violence. He doesn't start,

00:12:02.080 he doesn't need to start listing scenarios where it might be okay to hit a woman. He doesn't need to

00:12:06.980 go, listen, it's never okay to hit a woman, but if she knows karate and she's trying to kill your dog,

00:12:14.680 then it's just don't, don't go there. And you know that all of his handlers and all of Joe's people,

00:12:20.260 they're, they're backstage watching this and they hear him go, no man has the right to hit a woman.

00:12:26.680 And they're thinking to themselves, okay, just stop there, Joe. End of sentence, move on to the

00:12:30.900 next thought, move on to the next thought. And then he continues on that thought and they're

00:12:35.260 thinking, Oh my, Oh God, no, no, no. And it's off the rails, all is lost. So he starts babbling about

00:12:42.120 punching, punching, punching at it. He's talking about domestic violence and we need to punch at the 0.72

00:12:47.460 problem. And, and, and I feel bad for the audience because every time the audience, Joe Biden's

00:12:53.140 audience, I always feel bad for them because they don't know how to react to what he's saying.

00:12:58.380 And you know, we've all been in this, this, this situation, we all have relatives like this. Like

00:13:02.820 you're sitting around at Thanksgiving. There's always that relative that says a bunch of awkward

00:13:05.780 stuff and you never know if they're being stupid on purpose or if they're trying to make a joke or if

00:13:10.600 they're being serious. And so you don't know if you're supposed to laugh or not. And so there's always

00:13:14.560 this awkward half laugh, half serious thing. And that's Joe Biden's audience all the time

00:13:20.840 because they hear him saying this and they're thinking, is it, is this a, is he doing this on

00:13:24.560 purpose? Is he making a domestic violence joke? I, what am I supposed, how am I supposed to react to

00:13:28.780 this? I would, I would hate to hear Joe Biden asked, in fact, nevermind. I would love to hear him

00:13:35.640 asked about what to do about the murder rate. Listen, with the murder rate, you know, we just need to

00:13:41.940 stab at it. You need to keep stabbing, shoot it, gouge out its eyes, choke it, bury it in the forest.

00:13:49.620 That's what we got to do about the murder rate. And this guy's the democratic front runner. The

00:13:54.700 democratic party has lost its will to live. If this is, if they nominate this guy, they just have

00:14:00.100 given up. I think the Democrat party, they, they have given up. Trump has officially broken them

00:14:04.400 irrevocably. And this is it. They've just, that's, that's a white flag. When they, when they put up

00:14:11.600 Joe Biden, they're saying, all right, forget it. We don't even care anymore. Okay. A few other things

00:14:17.160 from the debate to discuss, but first a word from rock auto chain stores, you know, they have

00:14:21.700 different price tiers for professional mechanics and do it yourselfers rock auto.com's prices though

00:14:26.940 are the same for everybody and they're reliably low for everybody. That's the best part. Rock

00:14:30.940 auto.com always offers the lowest prices possible rather than changing prices based on what the market

00:14:35.840 will, will bear kind of like airlines do. I do a lot of traveling. Not a fan of that,

00:14:40.600 but rock auto.com it's for everybody. It's cheap, affordable for everybody. Doesn't require

00:14:47.620 membership. Doesn't require account login. And, uh, it's just, it's really easy to, to navigate.

00:14:52.900 Rock auto.com is a family business serving auto parts, customers online for 20 years,

00:14:56.780 go to rock auto.com shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of, of, uh, of manufacturers.

00:15:02.060 They have everything from engine control modules, brake parts, tail lamps, motor oil,

00:15:07.220 new carpet, if you need it. So whether it's your classic or daily driver, whatever it is that you

00:15:11.400 have, um, you can get everything you need. A few easy clicks delivered directly to your door. And

00:15:16.180 that's for me, that's the thing I like to emphasize about rock auto.com is just how simple and easy it

00:15:21.140 is. A lot, a lot simpler and easier than, you know, having to get in your car, go to the actual

00:15:24.900 store and you're going to spend more money or spend more time. Better just go to rock auto.com

00:15:30.500 amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need. Rock auto.com

00:15:35.060 go to rock auto.com right now. See all the parts available for your car or truck, right? Walsh

00:15:39.700 in there. How did you hear about us box? So that they know that we sent you that's rock auto.com.

00:15:46.640 Okay. Uh, what else? Well, you know, I, I loved Kamala Harris here. There's one Kamala Harris

00:15:52.960 moment. I like she, she's here. She is bragging about losing. Listen to this.

00:15:56.480 I believe we have to have the ability to not only have a nominee who can go toe to toe with

00:16:03.380 Donald Trump. And I have taken on Jeff Session. I've taken on Bill Barr. I've taken on Brett

00:16:09.120 Kavanaugh. I know I have the ability to do that. Okay. All those people she just bragged about that

00:16:14.340 those people were confirmed. So she says she took the, she took them on and lost. I took them on.

00:16:21.920 Yeah. You lost though. This is maybe, this would be like the head coach of the bangles

00:16:25.160 trying to keep his job and talking to the owner and saying, Hey, listen, I took on the 49ers.

00:16:30.000 I took on the Seahawks. I took on the Ravens and the Rams. Yeah. But you lost by a combined 6,000

00:16:35.240 points. So it doesn't really, I mean, the fact that you took them on and lost is sort of the point

00:16:40.160 here, but it's nice that Kamala is proud of losing because of course she's going to do it again in 1.00

00:16:45.020 the primary. So the fact that she enjoys it and takes pride in it, I guess is, is good for her. I feel

00:16:49.420 right. And I'm glad that she's made peace with it. And so I feel a little bit better about that as

00:16:53.720 well. Okay. Now here's Bernie, um, giving the earth a new prognosis. I thought we had 12 years

00:16:59.780 to live. I think this is kind of a headline. Apparently we only have eight or nine years to

00:17:03.500 live. Uh, listen, listen to Bernie giving us the bad news. Now I disagree with the thrust of the

00:17:08.540 original question because your question has said, what are we going to do in decades? We don't have

00:17:13.500 decades, but the scientists are telling us that we don't get our act together within the next eight

00:17:19.920 or nine years. We're talking about cities all over the world, major cities going underwater.

00:17:26.060 We're talking about increased drought, talking about increased extreme weather disturbances.

00:17:32.140 The United Nations is telling us that in the years to come, they're going to be hundreds of millions

00:17:38.060 of climate refugees causing mass national security issues all over the world. 1.00

00:17:44.740 That Swalwell fart was worse than I thought. Shaved four years off the lifespan of the earth. 1.00

00:17:50.620 I mean, he's, he's literally killing us and still Trump didn't say anything about it. I,

00:17:56.000 well, I'm not going to get back into that. And then we get to Warren and, um, as always from

00:18:00.260 Warren, we've got, uh, uh, vile propaganda and lies. That's her sort of her thing. That's her 1.00

00:18:06.480 favorite thing to do both of those. And so let's start with her sales pitch for abortion. Listen,

00:18:11.580 I believe that abortion rights are human rights. I believe that they are also economic rights and

00:18:17.840 protecting the right of a woman to be able to make decisions about her own body is fundamentally what 1.00

00:18:23.720 we do and what we stand for as a democratic party. Understand this when someone makes abortion

00:18:30.320 illegal in America, rich women will still get abortions. It's just going to fall hard on poor women. 1.00

00:18:35.960 It's going to fall hard on girls, women who don't even know that they're pregnant 1.00

00:18:40.320 because they have been molested by an uncle. I want to be in America where everybody has a chance.

00:18:47.240 Yes. In America, where everybody has a chance going to give everyone, every person a chance by

00:18:55.200 killing millions of persons. And this is actually an important point because the idea behind abortion 0.64

00:19:01.640 is expressly explicitly not to give everyone a chance. That's the point. It is to prioritize

00:19:10.500 certain people over other people. Okay. It's to give the older generation a chance by destroying the 0.83

00:19:18.300 younger, by giving the younger generation, no chance. It's to give parents a chance by allowing

00:19:24.080 them to execute their children. That's the whole point. The point of the pro-life movement 0.97

00:19:29.040 is to give everyone a chance. That's our thing. That's our argument, our objective. That's what

00:19:34.100 we're trying to do. We're the give everyone a chance side.

00:19:40.040 But the other side, you're the establishing hierarchies and competing claims to rights and

00:19:47.260 weighing this against that and favoring this person over that person. That's your thing. That's what you

00:19:52.120 do on the pro-abortion side. This is how it goes. The pro-abortion side is so wrong, so debased,

00:19:58.960 so evil, so irrational, so that it has to use our arguments and pretend that it's making our case.

00:20:05.500 It borrows our rhetoric, our arguments, because it knows that we are arguing for something that is

00:20:10.920 clearly more moral and more just. And so it has to pretend, basically has to, basically the pro-abortion

00:20:17.940 side pretends that it's arguing our case. So that was Warren misdirecting and misleading. Now let's

00:20:26.680 take a look at her just straight up bald-faced lying. Senator Warren, you have cast yourself as a

00:20:34.700 fighter. If you were elected though, you would be walking into an existing fight, a country that is

00:20:40.560 already very divided over the Trump presidency, among other things. Do you see that divide as permanent

00:20:46.660 or do you need to bring the country together if you become president to achieve your goals?

00:20:51.460 So I think the way we achieve our goals and bring our country together is we talk about the things

00:20:56.800 that unite us. And that is that we want to build an America that works for the people, not one that

00:21:03.620 just works for rich folks. You know, I have proposed a two-cent wealth tax. That is a tax for everybody

00:21:09.620 who has more than $50 billion in assets. Your first 50 billion is free and clear. But your 50 billionth

00:21:15.700 and first dollar, you got to pitch in two cents. And when you hit a billion dollars, you got to pitch

00:21:20.000 in a few pennies more. Here's the thing. Doing a wealth tax is not about punishing anyone. It's about

00:21:26.840 saying you built something great in this country, good for you. But you did it using workers. All of us

00:21:32.320 help pay to educate. You did it using your getting your goods to run roads and bridges. All of us

00:21:38.080 help pay for it. You did it protected by police and firefighters. All of us help pay the salaries

00:21:43.420 for. So when you make it big, when you make it really big, when you make a top one-tenth of one

00:21:48.760 percent big, pitch in two cents so everybody else gets a chance to make it. And here's the thing.

00:21:55.180 That's something that Democrats care about, independents care about, and Republicans care

00:22:00.400 about. Because regardless of party affiliation, people understand across this country, our

00:22:06.580 government is working better and better for the billionaires, for the rich, for the well-connected,

00:22:10.880 and worse and worse for everyone else. We come together when we acknowledge that and say

00:22:16.440 we're going to make real change. Thank you.

00:22:18.160 Okay. So she says that she'll, that her wealth tax would, for the first 50 million, would tax people

00:22:25.780 not at all. The first 50 million is free and clear, she says. And then once you hit 50 million,

00:22:31.660 you've got to pitch in a couple pennies, she says. You have to pay two cents. And she repeats this,

00:22:39.000 this several times in the debate. Millionaires and billionaires are taxed two cents, two pennies,

00:22:45.100 couple pennies. And with those pennies, she's going to pay for universal pre-K, free college,

00:22:51.300 pay raises for daycare workers, debt forgiveness, several other things, all with the pennies from

00:22:59.860 billionaires. And there are what, like 600 billionaires in America. So two pennies from

00:23:05.180 each of them. So basically she's going to do all this with $12, 12 bucks. And she's going to take 0.53

00:23:11.280 care of all those problems. Now that's a good deal. Listen, I support that. If you could just,

00:23:18.100 if you could do all that with 12 bucks, then sure, go ahead. But of course the problem is that it's

00:23:24.500 all a lie. She's not, she's not talking. First of all, she can't and won't do all of the things

00:23:29.040 she's promising to do in terms of all the things she's going to pay for. But she's also not talking 0.99

00:23:34.440 about a two cent tax. She's talking about a two percent tax. So I know, I know it's a difference of

00:23:43.280 only three letters, cent, percent, P-E-R, you know, but it's a significant difference actually

00:23:49.120 in terms of numbers. And actually for billionaires, her latest plan is more like 6%, which would equal

00:23:56.940 $60 million. Or if you want to talk about it in terms of pennies, it would be what? 600 billion

00:24:01.980 pennies. So, you know, just throw in 600 billion pennies, not two pennies, 600 billion pennies. That's

00:24:09.240 a, that's a difference of only about, well, 600 billion pennies, approximately. But even that

00:24:15.060 doesn't quite capture it because actually her wealth tax is way more extensive, way further 0.98

00:24:20.480 reaching, way costlier than two or even 6%. A piece at the tax foundation, taxfoundation.org talks about

00:24:28.160 this. Amanda has a piece on the Daily Wire talking about this, going into more detail and go read those

00:24:34.520 pieces. Suffice it to say that Warren's plan is much, much, much more involved than how

00:24:39.180 she portrays it. And that's just, that's just as the plan currently stands. And that's trusting that

00:24:45.840 the taxes won't go up, won't go up over time, but of course they will. I mean, her plan, her taxes have

00:24:51.820 already gone up and she, and she's not even elected yet. But when they're enacted, then we know that it

00:24:57.620 expands from there. One thing we've learned is the government never gives money back. They never give

00:25:03.520 up power they've already seized. They never relent. They never pull their hand out of your pocket.

00:25:10.680 Just like the income tax was originally supposed to be moderate and temporary. And now look at us.

00:25:17.860 That's the way it always works. And Warren knows it. And this is just the first step.

00:25:23.360 Step number one. And it is, despite how she tries to frame it, it's a very significant step already,

00:25:28.020 but it's not even the last step by a long shot. And of course she uses the old, we paid for the roads

00:25:34.420 shtick to justify it, which I guess there are a lot of people in America dumb enough to buy into that

00:25:40.920 line. Otherwise I should probably stop saying it. So it's just, which first of all, if we're talking

00:25:50.080 about loan forgiveness, for example, recent college graduates actually haven't paid for anything.

00:25:57.660 They haven't contributed to the roads. They haven't paid for the roads. They haven't paid

00:26:01.280 to educate workers or anything else. The contributions of a person in their early to

00:26:08.160 mid twenties who just got out of college, their contributions economically in terms of taxes

00:26:14.140 are exceedingly negligible. So the idea that an adult who's worked for decades, built up his wealth,

00:26:21.780 somehow owes this kid money because of the kid's contribution to road maintenance.

00:26:28.580 How much has he chipped in? He's probably actually literally chipped in two cents. Now you've got

00:26:32.300 two cents. Sure. So you've got, you know, a successful businessman who's, who's already paid

00:26:38.800 millions upon millions in taxes. He's the one building the roads and paying for all this stuff.

00:26:45.780 And then you've got a kid that's 23 years old at a college, got his first job. And what you're

00:26:53.640 saying that the millionaire owes that kid because of the kid's car. What has he contributed to?

00:26:58.780 Nothing. And even if he had the idea that because we all chip in to pay for the roads, which isn't,

00:27:06.620 I mean, it depends on what roads we're talking about. And that's not quite as simple as they make

00:27:10.180 it sound. But even still the idea that, okay, we, we, we all pay taxes for the roads. And therefore,

00:27:14.740 if you use the road, then all of your money belongs to everybody. What kind of nonsense is

00:27:22.160 that? And people find that convincing. Really? That's compelling. Come on.

00:27:32.020 Um, all right, before we move on, you know, if you haven't been listening to Andrew Clavin's

00:28:18.520 guys seen these trailers for the cats movie? Can we just play this real quick? They're making a movie

00:28:22.480 based on the musical cats for some reason. I don't know if you've seen these things, but watch this.

00:28:27.620 tonight is a magical night where I choose the cat that deserves a new life going to the ball could get

00:28:44.940 dangerous. Come on. 0.93

00:28:50.100 Let's dance. I judge a cat by its soul. I've got plenty of soul.

00:29:01.400 Spotlight and a drum roll, please. Milk.

00:29:05.980 It's party time. The most deserving cat will be reborn into another life so they can be who

00:29:18.280 they've always dreamed of being. That looks, that looks horrifying. Doesn't it? Doesn't that

00:29:24.380 look terrifying? Honestly, a musical where everyone it's okay. So you've got a musical number one,

00:29:30.120 that's strike number one. And everybody's dressed like a cat. That's basically my cinematic worst

00:29:37.120 case scenario. That's, I couldn't think of a worse thing. You could not think of a less appealing

00:29:42.000 storyline for me than that. I'd rather watch Texas chainsaw massacre in 3d where leather face

00:29:50.100 actually comes out of the screen and pales me on a meat hook and skins me alive. I would take that

00:29:55.860 experience over, over this. And think about the fact that this dreck, this garbage, uh, got the

00:30:05.840 green light. How many interesting, thoughtful, original scripts were thrown in the recycle bin

00:30:12.080 so that the studio could dump resources into this ode to furries. Think about that. That's,

00:30:20.300 that's what's depressing. All right. I want to, um, moving on to something more important. I want to

00:30:25.400 revisit this issue briefly. I'm not, I'm not, cause I'm not, I'm not looking to, to, to just move past

00:30:30.420 it after talking about it one time. As we discussed yesterday, the school board over at, uh, of, of

00:30:36.700 district to district to 11 in Illinois voted last week, five to two decision to allow biological males

00:30:42.740 into the female locker room at Palatine, Palatine high school, uh, in Illinois. And the board said that

00:30:48.540 all students should be quote, treated and supported in a manner consistent with their gender identity.

00:30:54.000 This support apparently necessitates obliterating the privacy and safety and security of, of every

00:31:01.420 girl at the school. Uh, a student named Nova Madej, um, a biological male identifies as transgender

00:31:08.800 filed a lawsuit in 2017 against the school. The lawsuit came after a department of education mandate

00:31:14.960 in 2015 under Obama, forcing Palatine high school to allow boys like himself into the bathrooms and

00:31:22.800 locker rooms with girls, but the school tried to come up with a compromise and they said, okay, 0.70

00:31:27.140 you can come into the girls room, but we're going to have private stalls set up for you. And you go 1.00

00:31:32.220 right into the stalls and that's where you get changed and do your business. And then you leave.

00:31:35.960 Okay. You don't have to change with the boys. Then if that makes you feel so, you know, if that,

00:31:39.420 if that makes you so upset, but Madej was not happy with this compromise. He demanded

00:31:44.700 that he has access, not just to the girl's locker room, but to the exact same area where the girls

00:31:51.980 change. Just to be clear, that's what this is really about. It's not about access to the locker

00:31:56.860 room. He already got that, but now he wants to be in the same area, in the same exact room and space

00:32:03.740 where girls are changing. His basic human rights are evidently violated if he's not able to actually

00:32:11.120 see girls get naked and himself get naked in front of them. That's what he's claiming he has a human

00:32:16.560 right to. He has a human right. He has a human right to see girls get naked and get naked in 1.00

00:32:20.240 front of them. That's what he's saying. The school board found these deranged arguments convincing.

00:32:27.020 And now, as we discussed yesterday, every girl in the school must shut up and cooperate as biological 1.00

00:32:32.180 males invade their private spaces. Now, if you need any help understanding why this is crazy and why this 1.00

00:32:39.220 is just evil, really, there's a video, I played it yesterday, that was recorded by the Daily Herald.

00:32:46.300 A Herald reporter interviewed Madej after the school board vote, then also interviewed another

00:32:52.960 girl named Julia. And so you see that another girl interviewed Madej, who's a boy, and then interviewed

00:33:01.600 Julia, who's an actual girl, not another girl. She's the only girl interviewed between the two of them,

00:33:06.060 just to be clear. But anyway, the contrast between their two reactions is stark. You got Madej sporting

00:33:13.560 a queen shirt and long pink hair, celebrating the decision, says he's ecstatic, says it's a great step

00:33:22.180 forward. Of course, he's not satisfied, though, because he still complains that it didn't go quite

00:33:26.540 far enough. He says, you know, it's not everything we wanted. Because it's just like we've been talking

00:33:32.960 about Chick-fil-A this week, it's never everything they want. It's never enough. Never, ever enough.

00:33:38.580 He got everything he wanted, but it's not everything he wanted. And then the tenor changes dramatically

00:33:45.600 with Julia's reaction. Her voice is shaking, there are tears in her eyes. She says she's uncomfortable.

00:33:52.600 You know, her privacy is being invaded. She talks about how she's a swimmer, so she gets changed multiple

00:33:57.060 times throughout the day, completely changed. You know, she's getting into a bathing suit, out of the

00:34:00.260 bathing suit, right? And she's doing this in full view of the other students in the locker room,

00:34:05.180 which is fine when they're girls. But she's saying she's really uncomfortable with a boy

00:34:09.400 being involved in that. And yet, what I thought was striking about the video, one of the striking

00:34:16.540 things, is that even in the face of this outrageous trampling of her basic privacy rights, she still

00:34:22.820 attempts to be as generous as possible to Madej and, you know, that side of the discussion by saying

00:34:28.560 that, well, look, I understand the school has an obligation to all students, but I just, I think I

00:34:33.000 should be accommodated too. Now, I don't think the school board or Madej or the trans activists 1.00

00:34:39.300 pushing this crap deserve even the slight concession she offers them. And the generosity and grace

00:34:50.140 that she extends, I think she deserves a lot of credit for that. She's more mature than I am,

00:34:55.560 because I wouldn't be so graceful about it. But my point is that you see the contrast where

00:35:04.440 you've got this girl who's obviously, all she wants is just a little bit of privacy when she 1.00

00:35:12.220 gets changed. That's all she wants. And she's still thinking about other people on the other side and

00:35:17.380 saying, yeah, you know, I know they want to be comfortable too, but I really just would like

00:35:20.640 some privacy. That's her point. Meanwhile, you've got Madej, no concern whatsoever for the feelings 0.98

00:35:28.460 and rights of the girl to the school. Makes no mention of it. He's just celebrating, yeah,

00:35:32.340 I got what I want. Not everything I want, but most of it. He makes no mention. He doesn't even,

00:35:38.660 he doesn't even, not even an aside, not even a symbolic gesture to the other side saying, look,

00:35:44.560 I know that they feel this way, but hopefully we can work it out. None of that. He does not give

00:35:50.560 a damn about them. And that's what I find. It's like I said yesterday, you know, when you've got

00:35:58.520 these gender confused people, I think that in a vacuum, generally speaking, we want to be 1.00

00:36:08.200 compassionate towards people who suffer from these sorts of confusions. But when you're just cruel

00:36:15.920 and arrogant and vicious, and you are throwing other people's rights and concerns to the side 0.69

00:36:25.600 and trampling all over them and not giving a damn about them, then my sympathy for you is gone. 0.54

00:36:31.660 Because now you're just a bully. Now, now you're just, that's it. And this is what you find so often

00:36:40.020 with trans activists, when it comes to these issues, they just don't care at all. If people 0.94

00:36:47.900 are uncomfortable or if women want privacy, they don't care. It is all about them. It is not at all 1.00

00:36:53.760 about the other side, because there are no concessions they are willing to make.

00:36:57.460 Like, it's just, you know, I don't think we focus on this part of it enough.

00:37:04.040 Where we talk about the system and everything and the wrong policies. And yeah, we should be

00:37:09.280 talking about that. But what about the individual people who are demanding access to a bathroom,

00:37:15.400 knowing that the people in that room are uncomfortable and just want privacy? You know,

00:37:21.040 how about putting some blame on them? How about this Madej guy? I mean, how about just some blame

00:37:25.080 also on his shoulders? How about holding him responsible for his own actions? He's being a

00:37:33.800 bully. To put it mildly. Now, okay, so we talked about all this. The real question is, what do we do

00:37:43.360 about this? What do we do when this stuff happens in the school? How do we fight back? Well, the first

00:37:48.620 thing we can do is remember that school boards, the board members are public officials, and they are

00:37:54.340 setting policies that have a profound impact on our children. So if you don't like a decision they

00:37:58.320 made, don't just complain about it into the void. Don't just scream into your pillow. Don't just

00:38:02.940 write angry tweets about it. Give them your personal feedback. And to that end, I'd recommend going to

00:38:08.120 the Township High School District 211 website, adc.d211.org. Go to that website, follow the links,

00:38:23.960 go to the contact page, and you'll find the public contact info for each of these board members,

00:38:30.240 their email address, the number to reach them at the office. And reach out to them and let them

00:38:38.060 know how you feel. These, again, are public officials, and they are making decisions that

00:38:42.700 have an effect on the public, on children. They don't have some right to do that without hearing

00:38:47.920 from the public. But then, what if you're a parent, and this happens at your school, what if you're a

00:38:56.980 parent at Palatine or anywhere else where this is happening? And it's happening a lot of places.

00:39:02.080 I don't think at this point, yeah, you want to give your feedback to the school board,

00:39:08.420 but don't just do that and call it a day. Other measures have to be taken. Remember,

00:39:14.980 the school is putting your daughter in jeopardy. The school is prioritizing the delusions and fantasies

00:39:20.940 of boys over the safety, privacy, peace of mind, and dignity of your daughter.

00:39:25.820 The school is inviting boys into the locker room to watch your daughter get changed. That's what's 1.00

00:39:33.000 happening. So, why isn't this happening in response? Why isn't every parent in that school

00:39:40.700 saying, we are not sending our daughters to class. We are not sending them into that building

00:39:46.060 until this policy is changed. We're not going to send them. You can come arrest us if you want.

00:39:53.840 Arrest us for trying to protect our daughters. Go ahead. But we are not going to cooperate with

00:40:00.660 this. Why aren't parents doing that? If every parent did that, if even half of the parents did

00:40:08.260 that, this policy would change overnight. You know, with this stuff, we as parents have so much power,

00:40:15.700 we could put an end to it immediately if we just use the power that we have. You have to force their

00:40:25.960 hand. So, why not? Why not fight back like that? This policy was changed. And in fact, I've heard

00:40:33.740 from some kids at the school talking about the environment in the school after this policy was

00:40:41.200 decided by the school board and talking about how, you know, there's tension, there's a lot of

00:40:47.220 awkwardness. People are worried. Teachers, according to one person who wrote me, said that his teachers

00:40:52.540 anyway are basically, you know, trying to shut down discussion of it. But my thing is, why are there

00:40:58.340 kids in that school right now? Why is that school not empty? Why is it not a ghost town?

00:41:03.600 No. 500 parents show up to the school board meeting and many of them are against it. Good,

00:41:10.020 great for you. But then you send your kid to school the next day? Why? Your whole point is that they're

00:41:16.160 putting your daughter in jeopardy and you send her? Why? Give me one good reason. I'm just so tired of

00:41:22.960 this. Like, if this is happening, the parents need to get together and say, we are not sending our kids

00:41:28.840 into that building. I can tell you this right now. If it were me, and I know sometimes when people get

00:41:35.620 into the, if it were me in this situation thing, I don't like it because it's easy for us to say what

00:41:40.080 we would do in that situation if we're not in the situation. But in this one, I can say very easily,

00:41:44.980 if that were me and that was my daughter in that school, there is no way in hell she is going to

00:41:52.620 school the next day. You want to come arrest me, go ahead. Go ahead and do it. Not, but my, my daughter

00:42:01.860 is not stepping foot in that, in that school. And like I said, if every parent did that, or even half

00:42:06.880 of the parents did it, they would have to change the policy. They would have to, you'd force their

00:42:15.000 hand. They'd have to come up with a different solution. They would have no choice. This was what

00:42:21.620 teachers do. Teachers go on strike when they don't like something and then they get their way because

00:42:28.220 you need the teachers there. Well, you need the students there also.

00:42:36.000 It's the same thing I say with the, with the sports stuff. You know, you got these boys that

00:42:41.460 come on the track team or whatever. Well, what? And then the boys come and they steal all the medals

00:42:49.120 and they ruin everything. And the other parents just keep sending their daughters. Why aren't all

00:42:54.420 the parents taking their kids out of the sport and saying, we're no, you have made a mockery of

00:43:02.400 this. We are not going to participate. And, uh, and we're certainly not doing fundraising and all

00:43:07.760 that stuff. We're gone. Our money, everything is out. Our daughters are out until you get these kids

00:43:13.080 out of here. And so you make the school choose the school has to choose between basically the end of

00:43:20.760 women's of girls sports in their school or requiring that one or two gender confused boys stay where they 0.99

00:43:28.680 belong with the boys sports, make them choose that. I just, it's frustrating to me. We have so much

00:43:42.660 power that we don't use because we're so concerned because at the end, you know, this is why people talk

00:43:53.300 about, Oh, we're headed for a civil war and stuff in this culture. And I'm not, that's not what I'm

00:43:59.660 advocating here. I'm saying, as I've said many times about that, people, people who worry that

00:44:03.940 we're headed for a civil war. Well, we're not because no one, people are way too lazy for that.

00:44:09.440 All anyone wants to do is just complain about it on Twitter or, or, you know, on Facebook or whatever,

00:44:14.140 depending on how old they are, uh, depending on what generation depends on what, what social media

00:44:17.700 site they go to, to do their complaining. That's all anybody does. That's all anyone does. That's it.

00:44:23.900 And, and this is a perfect example. I mean, in this case, you know, all you have to do is just

00:44:29.900 pull your kids out of the school. It's a really simple thing to do. Yeah. It's going to be a

00:44:33.740 little inconvenient, uh, especially when you've got work and everything. And, and yes, I I'm not

00:44:40.020 downplaying that, but okay. Absorb the inconvenience, be inconvenienced. This is your kid. We're talking

00:44:47.600 about, right? This is your child. Come on, parents, step up, just step up. I don't want to hear any

00:45:01.440 more complaints. I really, I don't even want to hear it. Like, I don't want to hear complaints

00:45:05.620 about, from parents who willingly send their kids into schools like this.

00:45:09.480 I'll hear the, I'll hear the complaints from the kids, like the girl in that video.

00:45:19.180 No, those are complaints that I will, that I want to hear and that I think should be heard.

00:45:23.420 And I'll sympathize there because those kids don't have a choice.

00:45:29.180 Parents have a choice though. So that's all Palantine high school. I'm telling you right

00:45:34.320 now, you could stop this by next week easily. Just stop sending your kids. That's all done. Done.

00:45:46.680 Okay. Let's leave it there. We'll save. I got a bunch of emails. We'll save those for tomorrow.

00:45:50.440 So, um, but I think that's enough for today. Godspeed.

00:46:15.880 Another day, another impeachment witness affirms that President Trump committed no quid pro quo with

00:46:43.300 Ukraine. Of course, you wouldn't know that from the front pages of the New York Times and the

00:46:46.620 Washington Post. We will parse the spin and lies. And then speaking of spin and lies, the Democrats

00:46:51.440 return to the stage for this month's presidential primary debate. A high school girl cries after her 0.99

00:46:56.700 district forces her to undress in front of boys. And finally, the mailbag. Check it out on the Michael
