Today on the Matt Wall Show, Donald Trump is pushing back against mail-in voting because
00:00:04.040
he's concerned about voter fraud. But I think the real problem with mail-in voting and with our
00:00:08.020
system of voting in general is different, though it is far more politically incorrect to discuss.
00:00:14.120
But we'll discuss it today because that's what we do. Also, five headlines including
00:00:17.360
murderers and other dangerous criminals are now having their cases dropped in Oklahoma
00:00:21.600
after the Supreme Court ruled that wide swaths of the state are Indian territory. So we'll talk
00:00:26.460
about that madness. And in our daily cancellation, we will discuss the pro-lifers who were arrested
00:00:31.440
in D.C. for having a pro-life message, writing a pro-life message in chalk on the sidewalk.
00:00:36.760
Meanwhile, the mayor has had her own preferred political messages painted in huge letters
00:00:41.220
across entire city blocks. Is that not viewpoint discrimination? We'll talk about all of that
00:00:46.860
on the way. But first, the show today is brought to you by ZipRecruiter. You know, business owners
00:00:52.240
know better than I do that hiring is difficult. It's just very hard to find qualified applicants
00:00:58.280
that will and can perform all of the relevant job duties. And it's probably never been harder
00:01:03.380
than it is right now. And that's why if you're a business owner, you have to take advantage
00:01:07.300
of a service that makes that easier for you. And that's where ZipRecruiter comes in. If you're
00:01:12.520
a company that's currently trying to hire, you're facing new difficulties from safely reopening
00:01:18.440
your doors to finding the right person for a specialized role in the midst of everything
00:01:23.420
that's happening. And a lot of companies can relate to that. Housing Wire could relate. Just
00:01:27.780
one example. They needed to hire an ambitious reporter to cover news stories on the U.S.
00:01:32.320
mortgage and housing markets. So they turned to ZipRecruiter to help them out. And ZipRecruiter's
00:01:39.040
smart, matching technology finds people with the right experience for your job. And in fact,
00:01:45.700
this is how good they are. Four out of five employers who post on ZipRecruiter get a quality
00:01:50.900
candidate within the first day. Okay, so 24 hours, four out of five are finding someone. That's how
00:01:56.320
Housing Wire found Alexandra Roja, who ended up being exactly what they needed for the job. ZipRecruiter,
00:02:02.800
they were able to, this is what they do. They matched Alexandra at the Housing Wire's reporter job
00:02:07.240
because her degree and her writing skills were a great fit for that role. And they've done this,
00:02:12.800
you know, millions of times for many candidates and many, many employers. Housing Wire received
00:02:17.840
her application only four hours after they posted the job. And a few weeks later, Alexandra started
00:02:24.980
her dream career. And this is a story, as I said, that's played out many times. So see how ZipRecruiter
00:02:30.300
can help you hire. Try it now for free at ZipRecruiter.com slash Walsh. That's ZipRecruiter.com
00:02:37.320
slash Walsh. All right. Protests, of course, continued over the weekend. And I feel like
00:02:45.980
I begin every Monday with that sentence. Protests continued. Probably isn't necessary at this point
00:02:51.760
to say it. And it probably isn't necessary either to do this, but I will anyway. Here's a very quick
00:02:57.920
montage showing some of what happened in Portland over the weekend. Watch this.
00:03:02.520
If that looked like a Bible they were burning, that's because it was a
00:03:32.500
Bible. We have now officially reached the book burning phase of things. But I suspect that
00:03:37.460
anyone who has remained sympathetic to the protesters through all of this will not be
00:03:41.600
disturbed by this development of book burning. Sure, I'll align myself with book burners, no
00:03:47.820
problem, because that always works out well historically, right? Nothing to be disturbed
00:03:53.160
about here. But the incident from this weekend that I really want to focus on is this little
00:03:59.120
exchange done in Austin. Protesters were once again blocking the roads, just sort of standing
00:04:03.600
aimlessly in the street, as they do, interfering with people's lives simply for the sake of
00:04:08.240
interfering. And then a black man drove up who apparently didn't have time for their nonsense.
00:04:14.680
I'm black. I got bills. I got kids. Get the f*** out of my way. I'm about to air this f*** out,
00:04:27.240
bro. Come on. Come on, bro. Come on. I got to go to work.
00:04:31.420
I got bills. I got kids. I got to go to work. He raises a good point, doesn't he? And that
00:04:48.920
point again raises a question often posed about these protesters, which is, do these people have
00:04:54.720
jobs? Apparently not. I mean, they're out in the street every single day for weeks on end holding
00:04:59.860
signs. It's hard to see how they can be gainfully employed in the midst of all of that. So we have
00:05:05.140
a bunch of people who aren't really contributing to society, who aren't productive adult members of
00:05:10.000
society, but who nonetheless expect us to listen to their political views and take them seriously.
00:05:15.400
My question is, why should we? Why should we take them seriously? Now, granted, the government has put
00:05:22.180
millions of people out of work with a series of some of the worst policy decisions we've seen,
00:05:27.420
certainly in modern times anyway. And you could always use that as an excuse for them. It's not
00:05:33.100
their fault that they're unemployed and they have nothing else to do. And that's all goes back to the
00:05:39.020
government, you might argue. But I don't fully buy that excuse because for one thing, if you did lose
00:05:43.900
your job because of the lockdowns, I would think you'd probably be spending your time pursuing other job
00:05:48.580
opportunities rather than protesting. But for another, more to the point perhaps, this is not a new thing.
00:05:54.320
The left has a never-ending supply of people who have nothing to do but protest.
00:05:59.780
And this is something that easily predates the pandemic, so you can't really blame it on that.
00:06:04.900
How quickly we all forget it was only back last fall that environmentalist wackos,
00:06:10.080
you remember this, they were doing the same thing all over the country and in other countries too,
00:06:15.060
standing in the middle of the street, blocking traffic, sometimes even blocking trains from going
00:06:20.240
by commuter trains. This went on for weeks. There was no pandemic, there was no shutdown then.
00:06:27.620
And there wasn't a pandemic or a shutdown back when we had the first round of BLM protests,
00:06:31.600
starting with the justified killing of the violent criminal Michael Brown.
00:06:36.260
So, while the shutdowns are no doubt a contributing factor, the fact remains
00:06:41.400
simply that shutdowns or no, there is a sizable portion of the American public
00:06:47.020
that apparently can afford to spend their days doing activism
00:06:50.100
because someone else, mommy and daddy perhaps, or Uncle Sam maybe,
00:06:56.200
one of those family members, is supporting them and funding their lifestyles.
00:07:00.620
What we find in that video that I just played and in so many other videos like it that we've seen
00:07:05.420
is the stark divide between, on the one hand, people who have nothing to offer society,
00:07:11.420
who are just standing in the street, getting in everybody's way,
00:07:14.060
and calling that activism. And on the other hand, the people who actually keep the country going,
00:07:19.820
the people like that man in the car, the people who pay all the taxes, support families,
00:07:25.880
and do all of the actual work sustaining and maintaining a human society.
00:07:31.720
Now, I guess we're supposed to believe or pretend to believe that both groups have equally valid
00:07:36.260
and important points of view and that both groups should be listened to and taken seriously,
00:07:40.240
but I disagree. I'm not really interested in what the latter group, in fact, I should say I'm only
00:07:46.220
really interested in what the latter group, the real grown-ups, have to say. And that brings us
00:07:52.060
to, I think, a related issue, mail-in voting. You know, President Trump has obviously been on a
00:07:57.240
tear recently, making a fuss about all the states that are planning to push mail-in voting for the
00:08:01.600
election in November. The primary concern Trump seems to have about this, the primary concern that
00:08:06.880
many on the right have about this is voter fraud. And I understand that concern. I think that there's
00:08:13.400
validity to it. But I also think that the right-wing obsession with voter fraud kind of misses the
00:08:19.760
point and is, in a way, an easy out, a more politically correct route around the real issue
00:08:27.460
with voting and with our democratic process as it currently functions. The real problem with voting,
00:08:33.340
and I have argued this many times, and this is by extension the problem even more so with mail-in
00:08:38.800
voting, is that there are too many people doing it, and it's too easy to do. This has already been
00:08:46.180
the case with voting in general. Mail-in voting will only exacerbate the ever-present problem.
00:08:51.860
If voting is not important enough to you, if it's not enough of a priority to expend any real effort
00:08:58.280
to do it, then you shouldn't be voting at all. Your voice is not needed and would probably do
00:09:04.240
more harm than good, in the voting booth anyway. And if you are a non-contributing ignoramus, someone
00:09:09.800
who has no real stake in society, and who contributes nothing of substance to it, who is not productive,
00:09:15.600
and who knows nothing about our system, then you should not be able to participate in it, at least
00:09:21.720
in the capacity of a voter. You know, voting ought to be a privilege reserved for informed,
00:09:28.060
grown-up, contributing members of society. If you aren't paying taxes, then you shouldn't have
00:09:33.740
any say in where tax money, other people's money, goes. And if you are woefully ignorant of even the
00:09:39.540
most basic facts of our system, then you shouldn't be able to, by wandering into a voting booth, or worse,
00:09:45.800
by mail from your home, muddy the waters by randomly casting a ballot ignorantly with no idea of what
00:09:52.960
you're even doing. You know, we don't let people drive on highways that way. Why should we let them drive
00:09:58.620
the republic that way? The consequences, after all, are just as dire, if not considerably more so. Now, I
00:10:07.440
wouldn't advocate for taking First Amendment rights away from protesters who are ignorant, non-contributing
00:10:11.640
dummies, as tempting of a thought as that might be at times. No, they have the right to speak their mind,
00:10:17.060
of course, but they don't have the right to do it in the middle of the highway, but, and they don't have the
00:10:22.240
right to do it while throwing Molotov cocktails, but my concern is that the attitude we're told we're supposed
00:10:28.060
to have towards these protesters, the idea that their opinion is just as valid as anybody else's, also makes its
00:10:33.660
way into the voting booth, and it shouldn't. You know, if you're not an informed, tax-paying
00:10:39.740
citizen willing to expend a minimal effort to, you know, to register your vote, minimal effort
00:10:47.000
meaning just leaving your home on one particular day, going to a polling place and voting, then you
00:10:52.640
shouldn't be allowed to vote. Ignorant, non-contributing, non-productive people can march through the city
00:10:59.020
annoying everyone, as is their right, but they shouldn't have the right to dictate the direction
00:11:05.440
of the country via the ballot box, and this is why there should be some very basic restrictions
00:11:11.740
to determine who can vote. Voting should be reserved for people who are tax-paying adults,
00:11:17.000
and adults these days probably means more like 25 instead of 18, with extended adolescence being a real
00:11:22.820
issue as well, so tax-paying adults who can pass a basic sixth grade civics exam. That's my,
00:11:27.780
that's my proposal. These restrictions would not exclude anyone based on basic facts about their
00:11:33.440
biological identity, which they can't control or change. Obviously, excluding people from voting
00:11:39.120
based on sex, race, ethnicity is wrong and illegal and should be, but excluding people based on behavior
00:11:45.000
and choices is another thing altogether. Voting is not a God-given right endowed by the creator and
00:11:53.240
meant to be shared by all people, no matter what. We already restrict voting based on several factors,
00:12:00.140
factors, and not all factors that actually a person can change. As it stands right now, if you're
00:12:05.800
seven years old, you can't vote. If you're a convicted serial killer, you can't vote. Most people,
00:12:13.900
now the left is trying to change both, both of those, okay, they're going way in the other direction,
00:12:18.320
and as always, the left has no problem advocating for things that seem radical,
00:12:25.720
radical. And in fact, are radical until they don't seem radical anymore because they get their way.
00:12:30.260
So they're, they're, they're just going to, they're going to go, you know, they're going to
00:12:34.080
shoot for the mountaintops all the time. And so now there are leftists who would say, yeah, oh yeah,
00:12:38.100
convicted serial killers should vote from prison. Um, if they're even in prison, if they're, if we even
00:12:42.420
keep them in prison at all, uh, children should vote. You know, maybe eventually the right will learn
00:12:48.400
to, to, to do the same thing rather than constantly, you know, move as, as the left moves,
00:12:53.720
the culture moves the, you know, as they're, as they are advocating for the most extreme leftist
00:12:59.520
position, they move the mainstream position left with them. And what the right always does is they
00:13:06.260
move along with the mainstream position. They always want to stay there in the mainstream
00:13:10.200
because they say, well, if we, if we're too radical, no one's going to listen,
00:13:13.620
but the right should be responding with the opposite say, no, no, no, no, no, no. What this is,
00:13:20.620
this is not, this is not how we, how you run a functioning society by trying to involve literally
00:13:28.860
everyone in the voting process, even to the point where eventually, yes, they're going to have 12
00:13:33.320
year olds out there voting. As it stands right now though, uh, most people who are not radical leftists
00:13:40.400
would say now, probably if I were to make a guess about what most people in the mainstream would
00:13:45.920
think everything I've said so far, many people, the mainstream would think that's too extreme.
00:13:50.940
That's even horrific and horrible. How dare you voting is a sacred, right? And how dare you say
00:13:56.540
these things? Uh, yet I would also guess most of those people would say that, well, sure, we're not
00:14:02.500
going to have 12 year olds vote. Why not though? Why don't we have 12 year olds vote? If you're not in
00:14:09.320
favor of 12 year olds voting, why it's, and don't, it's not enough to say, oh, they're minors.
00:14:14.060
What does it have to do with anything? Who cares if they're minors? We call them minors. Fine. But
00:14:18.140
what is it about them that should exclude them from voting? Could I suggest what it might be?
00:14:24.780
Um, I think it's that they're not productive, contributing members, taxpaying members of society,
00:14:30.000
and they don't know a damn thing about the system. They are ignorant and nonproductive. Now,
00:14:37.300
when they're 12, that's not their fault. All 12 year olds are that way. 12 year olds are supposed to be
00:14:42.080
that way. Um, but so if, if, if we exclude 12 year olds on that basis, why shouldn't we exclude
00:14:51.600
32 year olds on that basis? So if the 12 year old, we say to the 12 year old, you can't vote because
00:14:56.880
you're ignorant and non-contributing. And then when they turn 18, even if they're still ignorant and
00:15:02.380
non-contributing, we say, okay, you can vote now. Why? Why don't we just let them vote when they were 12
00:15:06.100
in that case? What's the difference? So I do think this is a discussion we should be having more
00:15:11.760
often. Uh, and, and if we're going to be talking about, uh, you know, problems with our voting system,
00:15:16.600
rather than focusing all the time on voter fraud, voter fraud, voter fraud, uh, I think this is the
00:15:21.900
real sort of fraud that's being perpetuated on our system. And we should be talking about it. All
00:15:26.940
right, let's go to our five headlines. Historic moment this weekend, the SpaceX dragon capsule
00:15:38.660
made a water landing as the two astronauts, uh, return from the international space station after
00:15:43.300
two months orbiting the earth. This was probably the, this was, this was not probably, this was the
00:15:47.280
first splashdown by American astronauts in 45 years, I believe. So you could check it out here.
00:15:52.460
You see the footage. Um, that's gotta be disconcerting. I mean, you know, among other
00:15:59.980
things, I just, I, I, cause I think I get freaked out by landings just on a, you know, a Delta flight
00:16:07.380
from Chicago to Baltimore. Uh, that, that whole experience freaks me out being on a plane. I, I,
00:16:12.240
I'm high anxiety on planes and everywhere else in life, to be honest, but especially landing.
00:16:17.140
Um, so just imagine descending 250 miles from orbit and landing in the ocean with, in a big capsule
00:16:25.860
with parachutes attached. Here's, um, astronaut Doug Hurley expressing his thanks to the team. Um,
00:16:32.320
again, uh, getting understandably emotional after, after landing safely, safely. Listen to this.
00:16:37.220
Uh, go for SpaceX. There we have our first view of Doug Hurley. I just would like to sort of reiterate
00:16:46.200
what Bob said and add, uh, my thanks to, uh, everybody over the last several years that's
00:16:53.320
either worked in Hawthorne, McGregor, or down at, uh, Kennedy Space Center. Anybody who's touched
00:16:58.320
in the first endeavor, uh, you should take a moment to just cherish this day, especially
00:17:04.340
given all the things that have happened this year. Uh, we certainly can't thank you enough.
00:17:09.460
Our families can't thank you enough. And, uh, just proud to be, uh, a small part of this
00:17:14.640
whole effort to get, uh, accompany people to and from the space station today and celebrate
00:17:23.040
with each other. Cease and, uh, we'll talk to you soon. Hopefully in person.
00:17:30.580
Thanks so much, Doug. And you're welcome. And thank you so much for those kind words.
00:17:34.100
And we all wish you a safe journey home and a happy reunion with your family soon. And we look
00:17:38.580
forward to seeing you in person as well. And I think about the relief he must feel in getting
00:17:43.020
out into the open air again, he was cooped up with other astronauts for two months. Now, granted,
00:17:47.480
the ISS is pretty big. It's like equivalent to a five or six bedroom house, but even so two
00:17:53.020
months, unable to leave, unable, unable to go for a walk, even except a spacewalk has to be, uh, a
00:18:00.300
challenge. Another interesting fact about the ISS that I just learned, and I'll, I'll mention it
00:18:04.360
because I looked it up on Google. So I was curious. Um, I knew it traveled fast around the earth. I
00:18:09.180
didn't realize that it goes 17,000 miles an hour orbiting the earth, orbiting the entire earth every 90
00:18:15.340
minutes. So I'm guessing that's something you probably try not to think about when you're strapped up to a
00:18:22.220
tether and walking around the outside of that thing. But I don't know. Uh, great story there.
00:18:27.060
Number two, not so great story. The Boston marathon bomber, Jokar, uh, Sunev, who murdered three people
00:18:33.300
and wounded hundreds of others, just had his death sentence thrown out by a federal appeals court.
00:18:38.760
Now it'll go back to the lower courts and this thing will drag on even longer. Uh, the reason for
00:18:43.040
throwing it out as reported by the AP is that supposedly quote, the judge oversaw the case did not
00:18:47.740
adequately screen jurors for potential biases. And, you know, this is why, so this guy's been,
00:18:58.360
he committed his crime seven years ago, just throughout the death penalty sentence. This is
00:19:04.200
why the way we handle the death penalty in modern America is absurd. You know, this guy, there's no
00:19:09.080
question that he's guilty. He's confessed to it. There's no doubt about the guilt. In a case like that,
00:19:14.700
mass killer, high profile, act of terrorism, no question about guilt, been convicted. Um, he should
00:19:23.560
be taken out back and dispatched 30 minutes after the trial concludes. What do we need all the appeals
00:19:31.700
for? Do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not sit idly in a jail cell for seven years or 27 years.
00:19:38.460
Just take them right to the gallows, take care of it with a rope or a firing squad, cheap, easy, done.
00:19:45.380
And that's justice. And I think it would also be a good thing for any potential future murdering
00:19:51.800
scumbags to know that the moment they're convicted, they're dead. This isn't going to be 20 years of
00:19:59.120
appeals. The moment you hear that we find the defendant guilty and then the sentencing happens,
00:20:04.600
you're done for it. Um, kiss your mama goodbye because that's it. Maybe they say that one of
00:20:12.080
the people who oppose the death penalty will often argue that there's no deterrent factor with the
00:20:18.600
death penalty. And I don't know if that's true or not. I'm not sure how you could even say one way or
00:20:23.160
another because it requires you to look into the minds of, of killers and, and, and determine whether
00:20:30.000
they were deterred or not. I don't know if you can really determine that, but if there is little
00:20:36.900
deterring effect to the death penalty, now, maybe there'd be a lot more of a deterring effect if it
00:20:42.540
happened immediately after sentencing. And that way it becomes more real to the potential murdering
00:20:50.460
scumbag. Just a thought. Three, speaking of federal courts making terrible decisions, you may recall the
00:20:55.740
Supreme court last month announcing that a huge swath of Oklahoma is actually somehow an Indian
00:21:00.820
reservation. Um, what that means is that the state of Oklahoma can no longer prosecute crimes
00:21:06.900
committed on this quote unquote reservation. All of that now goes to the feds, which means that a
00:21:14.460
whole slew of violent criminals will now get to walk free as the feds sort through the mounds of
00:21:20.080
paperwork and figure out what to do with all these new cases. The New York times reports, uh, one example
00:21:24.720
of this, one of many, a woman named Kelsey lip was sitting in jail charged with robbing and killing
00:21:30.440
a man. In fact, she, here's what she did. She allegedly did. She lured a 25 year old man named
00:21:36.520
Dustin Barham into her apartment, allegedly, at which point he was robbed, shot, and, and then bled to
00:21:43.880
death. Now she gets to go free for the time being because her public defender, uh, was able to, to,
00:21:51.720
to produce her tribal identification card. So because her distant ancestors lived in an Indian
00:21:59.700
tribe, that means that she gets to, for now, get away with allegedly robbing and shooting and killing
00:22:05.240
a man. Um, and this isn't, this is not an isolated case. Many violent criminals who are awaiting trial
00:22:11.720
or, or who have already been convicted now stand to be released while the feds figure out how to handle
00:22:16.960
this deluge of new cases. But, but this also can happen, um, not just if the suspected criminal
00:22:25.280
was a tribal member, but even if the victim was a tribal member, here's a, another case from the
00:22:30.840
article. It says, Dustin Dennis, who prosecutors said was not a tribal member was charged with second
00:22:35.660
degree murder in July after his young son and daughter, Tegan, uh, age four and Ryan three were
00:22:41.500
found dead in his sweltering pickup. The children climbed into the car were apparently overcome by the
00:22:45.620
heat while Mr. Dennis slept according to prosecutors. Um, Tulsa County prosecutors had to drop the case
00:22:51.300
when it turned out that the children were Cherokee on their mother's side. Mr. Dennis was charged
00:22:55.360
federally with child neglect, but the Tulsa district attorney said it had been devastating to tell the
00:23:00.620
children's mother he was dropping the case. So, um, that might be a surprising aspect of this for
00:23:05.420
people. I was for me as well, that it's not just if the criminal, but even if a, if a, if a victim,
00:23:10.820
a child is a tribal member, then that means that their killer gets to, at least for the time being
00:23:19.240
walk free. Number four, Lena Dunham, um, my, my personal favorite actress posted on Instagram
00:23:26.400
revealing that she had COVID a few months ago and she wanted to tell her story. And the reason to tell
00:23:33.120
her story was to slap some sense into the quote, careless people who do reckless and dangerous things
00:23:38.100
like jog without face masks. That's what she's worried about. Cause yeah, imagine that very
00:23:43.280
reckless. You got to make sure you wear that face mask while you jog because, uh, uh, you know,
00:23:48.640
you, you wouldn't want to contract COVID-19 while you're running down the street. I mean, there hasn't
00:23:53.640
been any confirmed cases of that at all happening, but still it could happen. So make sure you wear
00:23:59.400
that face mask. Don't be reckless. But then Lena starts dramatically, um, recounting her tale of
00:24:05.980
sickness. And this is, this is what she says. Let me pull it up. I got sick with COVID-19 in mid
00:24:11.780
March. It started with achy joints, which I was unable to distinguish from my usual diagnoses. So
00:24:16.060
I didn't freak out, but the pain was soon joined by an impossible crushing fatigue. Then a fever of
00:24:20.720
102. Suddenly my body simply revolted. The nerves in my feet burned and muscles wouldn't seem to do
00:24:26.080
their job. My hands were numb. I couldn't tolerate loud noises. I couldn't sleep, but I couldn't wake up.
00:24:30.720
I lost my sense of taste and smell. A hacking cough, like a metronome kept timing, kept keeping
00:24:36.060
time. Inability to breathe after simple tasks, like getting a glass of water, random red rashes,
00:24:41.340
a pounding headache right between my eyes. It felt like I was a complex machine that had been unplugged
00:24:45.840
and then had my wires rerouted into the wrong inputs. This was on for, this went on for 21 days,
00:24:50.940
days that blended into each other, like a rave gone wrong. I was lucky enough to have a doctor who could
00:24:55.540
offer me regular guidance on how to care for myself. And I never had to be hospitalized.
00:24:59.380
This kinds of hands-on attention is a privilege that is far too unusual in our broken healthcare
00:25:03.400
system. I self-isolated with my pulse oximeter, monitoring my levels. After a month, I tested
00:25:09.780
negative for COVID-19, was able to spend time around my isolation pot again. I couldn't believe
00:25:15.180
how intense the loneliness had been in addition to the illness. Okay. And she goes on from there
00:25:20.300
describing it, but I have to say, yeah, it sounds like she was, she was sick, very sick. And I'm glad
00:25:27.880
she recovered. But most of what she recounted there in, in dramatic terms with creative analogies
00:25:34.300
and metaphors and all of that also describes my experience with the flu, which I had back in
00:25:40.300
February. Um, I was very sick for several days, had a fever considerably higher than one or two,
00:25:45.800
actually. And, um, and, uh, and I did have to go to, I wasn't hospital, I wasn't admitted,
00:25:51.120
but I did have to go to the hospital for it. And then I had symptoms that wiped me out. Uh,
00:25:56.500
I was exhausted for like a month after that. Um, even after the fever went away, I, it's,
00:26:02.300
it dragged on for weeks after that. I felt, I just felt kind of wiped out and not myself.
00:26:07.820
My point is not that COVID is the flu. My point is that with COVID people, especially famous people,
00:26:16.260
celebrities will tend to recount their experience with COVID in this over the top dramatic way,
00:26:22.180
expressly to scare you. I mean, she admits that that's what she's trying to do. She wants to scare
00:26:28.040
you into wearing a mask while you jog. So there's an agenda behind this. Um, and it's, it's, it's just,
00:26:34.260
it's dishonest. I, I'm not, it's not, I'm not saying that she doesn't, she didn't have COVID. I believe
00:26:39.580
she had COVID. I don't think she's lying about that, but the story she's really telling here
00:26:44.360
is a story of being pretty sick, not deathly sick, but pretty sick one Oh two. Okay. For a little
00:26:51.820
while and then getting better. Okay. That's what actually happened. When you boil this down to the
00:26:58.220
basics, it didn't happen. It doesn't happen that way for everybody. There are people who I've there.
00:27:03.100
There are many people who have died from it. There are people who get a lot more sick than that.
00:27:05.700
There are people that get hospitalized, but the story she's telling, she was, she was pretty darn sick
00:27:10.540
for a little while and she got better. So why not say that? I mean, why the effort to turn this into
00:27:16.820
a cinematic fight for your life? Well, again, we know why she's clear about why there's an agenda
00:27:22.560
behind it. She, and she wants to scare you into behaving the way that she thinks you should behave.
00:27:28.780
So we should just keep that in mind when we read these sorts of things. Finally, I want to show you
00:27:32.160
this. This was posted by, speaking of dramatic, um, the sun, a UK newspaper posts some truly shocking
00:27:39.520
footage. I mean, this is mind bending, mind blowing, mind boggling. Okay. All of that.
00:27:46.780
You're not going to believe this. This again was posted by a news outlet, just to be clear.
00:27:52.300
And they wanted to demonstrate how hot it's been in the UK. Apparently they're in the middle of a,
00:27:56.380
of a little heat wave. And so they wanted to show you how hot it's been. And this is the video
00:28:04.360
It's this videoitating, coplyßer.com in the UK. We're not going to show you how hot it's been in the UK.
00:28:05.660
So you're not going to show you, you're not going to show you, what are the biggest TV program?
00:28:06.600
And they'll just post it because it's in the UK. And you're Tree Dusecton full of a podcast dedicatalyze.com,
00:28:08.960
And they'll be on display real soon on night. And they'll be on display.
00:28:12.920
And then you'll see why you next time for this video.
00:28:22.540
I was going to show you next time for this interview.
00:28:24.660
Bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye bye busayby this.
00:28:26.740
Wow. Amazing. It's so hot that it melts ice cream if you keep the ice cream in the sun
00:28:48.840
for 20 minutes. My God, I have never seen anything like that before. Have you ever seen that?
00:28:57.440
I have never seen ice cream. I've never heard of that. I've never heard of that happening. I didn't
00:29:02.660
know that. You're telling me that if you bring an ice cream cone out into the heat in the summer
00:29:08.460
in July, August now, you're telling me it will melt? Melt? Really?
00:29:15.420
Really? Just absolutely amazing. Truly global warming is going to kill us all and our ice
00:29:25.860
cream even worse. So that's pretty big news. Just wanted to share that with you. We're going to go
00:29:30.720
to our daily cancellation. Before we do, if you're not a Daily Wire All Access member, you know,

announce our brand new limited count collector's edition baseball bat in collaboration with Pillbox
00:29:53.700
Bat Company. To be honest with you, they want me to talk here about why baseball is the greatest
00:30:00.940
sport. I just, I feel, I, football's the greatest sport, just to be clear. In my opinion, I can't,

Okay, today for our daily cancellation, we're going to be canceling, I'm not sure who gets
00:31:11.540
it here exactly. It's the mayor of D.C. maybe, the city of D.C., D.C. cops, I guess everyone.
00:31:17.960
We'll just cancel everyone because of this. Watch.
00:31:21.980
This is our constitutional right. We do this every Saturday.
00:31:26.960
Folks, I'm going to tell you now that if you continue talking, you're going to be placed
00:31:34.960
Okay, I'll give you a warning. You understand that.
00:31:38.640
Continue talking, you're going to be placed under arrest.
00:31:54.420
I majored in political science. This is public property.
00:31:58.040
Every Saturday, people are here talking and you're taking somebody, young people, and arresting
00:32:05.760
them because they are simply putting free, black, pre-born lives matter.
00:32:13.440
You've got to be absolutely joking that you would take young people that are simply putting
00:32:19.420
on a sidewalk chalk that they are standing for pre-born black lives.
00:32:28.440
We're standing in front of an abortuary where they kill children every day.
00:32:34.900
And you're taking young people away to the police department because they're simply putting
00:32:43.420
What you watched there was, there was a students for, for, um, students for life in DC.
00:32:49.500
They were attempting to write black pre-born lives matter in chalk on the sidewalk in front
00:32:59.280
Now, as was pointed out by the pro-lifers on the scene, this is especially egregious given
00:33:03.360
the fact that other groups, the other groups being, of course, black lives matter and Antifa
00:33:08.340
have been painting all over everything with little in the way of repercussions.
00:33:14.760
Uh, some of the, um, artwork that the BLM folks have, have defaced the city with.
00:33:23.460
Uh, F Donald Trump, a cab, of course, George Floyd, F the government.
00:33:30.220
Why do we have to keep telling you black lives matter?
00:33:35.060
Well, you don't actually just, I'll answer that question.
00:33:37.600
I don't know if it's rhetorical or not, but, uh, you don't have to keep telling us that
00:33:40.880
as for why you do keep telling us that I can't explain.
00:33:44.520
Maybe you have, uh, maybe there's some kind of, maybe you have Tourette's or something.
00:33:47.200
I don't know, but you don't have to keep telling us that because we all know, we all agree.
00:33:57.680
It's a universal agreement in the United States, um, on, on that point.
00:34:01.840
Now, the fact that black pre-born lives matter or that any pre-born life matters, that is
00:34:10.200
That is a reminder that is actually necessary because pre-born people are legally killed
00:34:15.400
by the thousands, the hundreds of thousands in this country every year.
00:34:18.920
So yes, that is something that does need to be said.
00:34:28.740
Compare that with chalk on the sidewalk, who gets arrested here.
00:34:32.100
We haven't even gotten to the most egregious example yet.
00:34:34.420
Speaking of defacing public property, here's some defacement commissioned by the mayor herself.
00:34:39.180
Black lives matter spray painted across two entire city blocks.
00:34:45.060
Now you, you, you compare the side by side here.
00:34:47.920
On one hand, you've got pro-life message written in chalk in tiny letters on one little slab
00:34:55.240
On the other, you have black lives matter spray painted in huge, ugly yellow letters across
00:34:59.940
two city blocks right down the middle of the street.
00:35:06.240
The other was not only sanctioned by the, by the mayor, but commissioned by her.
00:35:10.240
And just so you know, if you might say, well, if the mayor says it, it's okay.
00:35:14.800
The mayor actually does not have the authority to spray paint her preferred political messages
00:35:19.540
all over the city while arresting anyone who uses the same medium, actually a less intrusive
00:35:25.280
medium and less permanent medium to express their own preferred political message.
00:35:45.500
And this is the advantage that you have as a leftist.
00:35:49.640
Your views are codified, protected, um, you know, uh, you, you, you can, you can get away
00:36:02.260
with crimes as, as you are expressing your views, as long as they are the correct views.
00:36:07.560
While if you're not a leftist, you can be arrested for expressing your own views in a, in a much
00:36:12.340
less intrusive way and much less destructive way.
00:36:15.900
We should add leftist privilege is the real issue in modern America, not white privilege.
00:36:24.500
And that's why everyone involved, except for the pro-life advocates are, uh, canceled.
