The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 534 - The Tyranny Of Non-Contributing Ignoramuses

00:00:00.000 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 0.98

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, 1.00

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 0.84

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. 0.99

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, 0.99

00:04:27.240 bro. Come on. Come on, bro. Come on. I got to go to work. 0.94

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 0.91

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 0.96

00:09:09.800 who has no real stake in society, and who contributes nothing of substance to it, who is not productive, 0.88

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 0.96

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, 0.95

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 0.98

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, 0.96

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 0.96

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, 0.68

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 0.99

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 0.64

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, 0.87

00:14:30.000 and they don't know a damn thing about the system. They are ignorant and nonproductive. Now, 1.00

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 0.99

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 0.96

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 0.97

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 0.98

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 0.98

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 1.00

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 0.96

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 1.00

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 1.00

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, 0.60

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 1.00

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 1.00

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. 1.00

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

00:28:02.140 that this news outlet posted. Watch.

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.

00:28:11.520 So I'll see you next time for seven minutes.

00:28:12.920 And then you'll see why you next time for this video.

00:28:17.020 I'm in the UK.

00:28:17.420 It's evening here well on page.

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,

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

00:31:32.060 under arrest in Mason's property.

00:31:33.680 We do this every Saturday.

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.

00:31:40.700 You know they do this every Saturday, right?

00:31:51.640 Every Saturday.

00:31:52.840 This is completely public property.

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. 0.92

00:32:11.220 You've got to be joking.

00:32:13.440 You've got to be absolutely joking that you would take young people that are simply putting 0.97

00:32:19.420 on a sidewalk chalk that they are standing for pre-born black lives. 0.51

00:32:26.160 You absolutely have to be joking. 0.99

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

00:32:41.300 chalk on a sidewalk.

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

00:32:55.460 of a Planned Parenthood butcher shop.

00:32:57.100 They were arrested for it.

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.

00:33:13.360 Let's just run through here.

00:33:14.760 Uh, some of the, um, artwork that the BLM folks have, have defaced the city with. 1.00

00:33:19.960 So you can see all of that there.

00:33:21.820 The rich aren't safe anymore.

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? 1.00

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.

00:33:52.960 Everyone agrees.

00:33:54.820 Fortunately.

00:33:56.180 Okay.

00:33:56.440 That's a great thing.

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 1.00

00:34:08.220 something that does have to be said.

00:34:10.200 That is a reminder that is actually necessary because pre-born people are legally killed 0.98

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.

00:34:23.180 In any case, you see what BLM has been doing.

00:34:26.160 Permanent markings, often on buildings.

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. 0.89

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

00:34:53.980 of the sidewalk.

00:34:55.240 On the other, you have black lives matter spray painted in huge, ugly yellow letters across 0.98

00:34:59.940 two city blocks right down the middle of the street.

00:35:04.200 One is illegal and will get you arrested.

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 0.98

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.

00:35:29.580 This is called viewpoint discrimination.

00:35:33.420 It is ridiculously unconstitutional.

00:35:36.820 You cannot do this.

00:35:39.180 I should say it's not legal to do this.

00:35:42.340 They can do it because they're doing it.

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.

00:36:21.800 And this is just the latest exhibit of that.

00:36:24.500 And that's why everyone involved, except for the pro-life advocates are, uh, canceled.

00:36:29.100 Okay.

00:36:30.520 And we will wrap it up there.

00:36:32.080 Thanks for watching everybody.
