The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 619 - The Mainstream Media Discovers Hunter Biden

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, YouTube begins a major censorship campaign as the media finally

00:00:04.900 discovers that there might be something to the whole Hunter Biden story. Of course,

00:00:09.040 they make this discovery only after the election. Coincidentally, I'm sure. Also,

00:00:12.560 five headlines, including a Michigan lawmaker making essentially death threats against Trump

00:00:16.720 supporters. And Joe Biden announces his plans to make the military more diverse and inclusive.

00:00:23.280 That'll help us if we end up in a war with China. And today I must cancel, I'm afraid, 0.98

00:00:27.000 the Cartoon Network. All of that and more coming up today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:38.360 You know, as we're all online this holiday season, you know, you're buying gifts,

00:00:43.660 you're putting a lot of your financial information out there. It's never been more important to focus

00:00:48.120 on protecting your online data. New research from threat intelligence firms reveals that cyber

00:00:54.520 criminal groups are increasingly using ransomware and changing their tactics, techniques and

00:00:59.040 procedures to widen the scope of their cyber attacks, which greatly expands their pool of

00:01:03.360 victims. It's important just to understand how cyber crime and identity theft are affecting our

00:01:07.880 lives. And this is just one of the ways, especially this holiday season, you know, where, like I said,

00:01:12.840 you're online, you're putting your credit card information out there. You're, you know, giving

00:01:17.720 more of your personal information maybe than you normally would. And but the problem is, if you're just

00:01:22.000 monitoring your credit, checking bank statements, there are a lot of identity threats that you're

00:01:27.020 going to miss. That's why you need LifeLock, which is the leader in identity theft protection. LifeLock

00:01:31.500 helps detect a wide range of identity threats, like your social security number being for sale on the

00:01:35.700 dark web. If you detect, if they detect your information is used on the network, they will send

00:01:40.980 you an alert. And here's the other thing. If you do become a victim of identity threat, identity theft,

00:01:45.640 rather, as so many millions of Americans have been, LifeLock can help restore your identity easier

00:01:51.020 than, than you'd be able to do on your own. You don't want to deal with something like that

00:01:55.260 on your own without having this network of support like LifeLock. So you've got to get LifeLock now.

00:02:02.380 Nobody can prevent all identity theft or monitor all transactions at all businesses, but LifeLock can

00:02:06.440 help you feel warm and protected this holiday season. And you can save up to 25% off your first

00:02:12.040 year by going to LifeLock.com slash Walsh. That's LifeLock.com slash Walsh for 25% off.

00:02:17.740 Well, two things happened yesterday to further reveal what we already knew about big tech and

00:02:22.820 big media and how they conspire to censor and manipulate the public. The first was a major

00:02:26.780 announcement from YouTube. The company announced it would be removing any videos that allege

00:02:31.660 widespread voter fraud. You're not allowed to go on YouTube and express the opinion that the

00:02:36.240 election was stolen. YouTube has made an editorial decision, which it would have every right to do if

00:02:42.280 it was a publisher. Publishers make editorial decisions all the time. The Daily Wire publishes lots of

00:02:47.680 content every day. It can decide what sort of content it wants to publish, what sort of opinions or

00:02:52.760 viewpoints it wants to put out there, what sorts of opinions it doesn't want to put out there.

00:02:56.320 The problem is that YouTube, just like Facebook and Twitter, claims to be a platform, not a publisher.

00:03:02.500 It claims that it is merely hosting the content, merely providing a home for people to post content.

00:03:10.760 Its role is neutral, it says. That line has been clearly untenable for a while, but YouTube's

00:03:16.820 announced decision yesterday completely blew their own previous rationalizations apart.

00:03:22.060 I'll listen to this statement from YouTube announcing the policy and tell me if it doesn't

00:03:25.520 sound exactly like a publisher explaining, you know, its editorial guidelines, essentially. Here's

00:03:31.600 what it said. Quote, yesterday was the safe harbor deadline for the U.S. presidential election and

00:03:36.420 enough states have certified their election results to determine a president-elect. Given that,

00:03:40.580 we will start removing any piece of content uploaded today or anytime after that misleads people by

00:03:45.840 alleging that widespread fraud or error changed the outcome of the 2020 U.S. presidential election

00:03:51.080 in line with our approach towards historical U.S. presidential elections. For example, we will

00:03:55.560 remove videos claiming that a presidential candidate won the election due to widespread software glitches

00:04:01.020 or counting errors. We will begin enforcing this policy today and we'll ramp it up in the coming weeks.

00:04:06.800 It doesn't matter what you think about the voter fraud question. The point is that some people have

00:04:11.660 the opinion that the election was stolen, that there was fraud, etc. And if YouTube is a neutral

00:04:15.980 platform, then they should be able to express that opinion on it. And it's not a neutral platform.

00:04:21.160 And that is why you may have noticed YouTube has for the past four years played host to many,

00:04:27.620 many videos alleging that Donald Trump stole the election in 2016, that he's not a legitimate

00:04:32.140 president, that he's in cahoots with Russia and so on. I mean, they said this is in line with their

00:04:36.280 historical approach to presidential elections. Oh, really? I went to YouTube before the show,

00:04:41.600 searched, searched for just like two seconds. And I found this video on YouTube. Watch.

00:04:48.320 I believe he knows he's an illegitimate president. He knows, he knows that there were a bunch of

00:04:56.120 different reasons why the election turned out the way it did. And I take responsibility for those parts

00:05:01.800 of it that I should. But Jane, it was like applying for a job and getting 66 million letters of

00:05:08.520 recommendation and losing to a corrupt human tornado. And so I know that he knows that this wasn't on the

00:05:17.120 level. I don't know that we'll ever know everything that happened. But clearly, we know a lot and are

00:05:22.100 learning more every day. And history will probably sort it all out. So of course, he's obsessed with me.

00:05:26.840 And I believe that it's a guilty conscience in so much as he has a conscience. 0.99

00:05:32.800 A corrupt human tornado. If Donald Trump is a corrupt human tornado, then Hillary Clinton is 1.00

00:05:39.180 the whole damn hurricane. So that's speaking of not having a conscience. But that sounds, 1.00

00:05:45.960 what you just heard there, sounds an awful lot like Hillary Clinton alleging that Trump stole the

00:05:51.260 election. If Trump is an illegitimate president, that would mean that he won the election by fraud of

00:05:56.740 some kind. I mean, if he won the election legitimately, then he's a legitimate president.

00:06:01.340 That's what Hillary Clinton is claiming here. It's what she's claimed repeatedly over the past 0.65

00:06:05.360 four years. It's what the media has claimed. The Democrats have claimed. And yet their videos remain

00:06:09.940 up. Their posts have not been taken down. They're not censored. So always remember this. Very few of

00:06:15.960 the people currently wringing their hands about Trump undermining the integrity of our election

00:06:20.120 by claiming fraud actually have the moral authority or credibility to be outraged about it.

00:06:26.120 Almost all of them have been doing exactly the same thing relentlessly for years. And this is just

00:06:32.240 one example of censorship and manipulation by big tech and big media to come out of yesterday. Here's

00:06:37.440 the other. If you go to Google right now, type in the words Hunter Biden, an amazing thing will

00:06:42.580 happen. Now you recall that up until this moment, if you typed in Hunter Biden, you would find mostly a

00:06:50.720 bunch of articles from mainstream media sources telling us that all the stuff about Hunter Biden and Biden

00:06:57.800 family corruption was a bunch of fake news. You find fact checkers debunking it. Articles explaining why the

00:07:04.900 whole thing is really nothing at all. And if you went to Twitter or Facebook, you'd find not much about Hunter

00:07:09.940 Biden at all because most of the subjects, you know, were most of the posts on that subject were taken down in the

00:07:16.580 most massive and coordinated censorship campaign we'd ever seen up to that point. Now YouTube is

00:07:22.100 going to try to give it a run for its money though. But now today, go to Google, type in Hunter Biden

00:07:27.200 and you get tons of headlines posted just today or last night saying stuff like this. Here are some

00:07:33.080 examples. Federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden focuses on his business dealings in China.

00:07:39.580 Justice Department's interests in Hunter Biden covered more than taxes. Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden,

00:07:44.940 under federal investigation for tax case. Hunter Biden tax affairs under federal investigation.

00:07:50.420 Links to China funds emerge. Sources say Hunter Biden tax probe examining Chinese business dealings

00:07:56.520 and on and on. Now, what happened? I'm old enough to remember four weeks ago when the Hunter Biden

00:08:03.880 story was fake news. So fake that Twitter had to ban you if you talked about it. Now, here's what a CNN

00:08:10.640 article, and they're one of the headlines I mentioned before, but a CNN article published this morning.

00:08:15.540 This is what they, this is, this is their report. They say, quote, after going quiet in the months

00:08:19.920 before the election, federal authorities are now actively investigating the business dealings of

00:08:23.760 Hunter Biden, a person with knowledge of the probe said. His father, president-elect Joe Biden,

00:08:28.600 is not implicated. Now that the election is over, the investigation is entering a new phase.

00:08:33.460 Federal prosecutors in Delaware working with the IRS Criminal Investigation Agency and the FBI are taking overt

00:08:38.300 steps, such as issuing subpoenas and seeking interviews. Activity in the investigation had gone,

00:08:43.180 had gone covert in recent months due to Justice Department guidelines prohibiting overt actions

00:08:48.520 that could affect an election, the person said. It then goes on to say, quote, investigators have been

00:08:52.900 examining multiple financial issues, including whether Hunter Biden and his associates violated tax and

00:08:58.000 money laundering laws in business dealings in foreign countries, principally China, according to two

00:09:03.000 people briefed on the probe. Oh, so in other words, the original report from the New York Post,

00:09:08.220 which was banned on Twitter and condemned or ignored by outlets like CNN, was correct.

00:09:14.060 The Justice Department just didn't want to confirm it because they didn't want to affect an election,

00:09:19.880 but they didn't want to affect it. How? With the truth? What they're telling us is that they were afraid

00:09:25.980 the truth might influence our vote. So they decided not to tell us the truth. To me, that sounds an

00:09:32.600 awful lot like affecting an election. If you're going to affect an election with the truth or not the

00:09:38.580 truth, better to affect it with the truth. In fact, elections are supposed to be affected by the truth.

00:09:45.760 Of course, with or without the Justice Department, though, the evidence of Hunter Biden's corruption was

00:09:50.060 clear as day. The New York Post was trying to tell us about it. It's just that they were prevented from

00:09:54.880 doing so. Sam Stein of the Daily Beast posted a link to an article today and writes, quote,

00:10:00.420 evidence of a money laundering probe into Hunter Biden was apparent in the markings on a series of

00:10:05.680 documents that were made public, but went largely unnoticed in the days leading up to the November

00:10:10.620 election. Largely unnoticed, Sam? Huh. Why is that? You're in the news media. Isn't it your job to

00:10:19.780 notice these things and make sure everyone else notices them? It's clear now, just as it was clear

00:10:26.120 all along, that the Hunter Biden story is real, was always real. The corruption in the Biden family

00:10:30.920 goes deep. But there was a conspiracy, yes, an actual conspiracy, to hide and cover up this

00:10:37.860 information so as to ensure that Biden is elected. Now that the election is over, they'll let the floodgates

00:10:43.420 open. No need to hold back the river now. They already got the guy they wanted.

00:10:46.880 What the media and big tech have done here may not qualify as election fraud in the legal sense.

00:10:53.820 And if it did, I guess I wouldn't be allowed to say it without this show getting removed from YouTube.

00:10:58.320 But this is certainly a form of meddling, of interfering, of undermining our election.

00:11:03.580 And this is the form of election interference that will be, I think, our biggest obstacle in the future.

00:11:09.020 Forget about rigging ballots. They don't need to rig the ballots if they can first rig the

00:11:13.480 dissemination and spread of information. If they can manipulate the public into filling out the

00:11:18.100 ballots how they want, that's all they need to do. And that's their game now. And our republic will

00:11:25.280 suffer because of it. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:29.780 Yes, by the way, earlier you may have picked up on it. As I was saying, Hunter Biden, I did. I did slip up and

00:11:41.740 accidentally call him Humper Biden. That did happen. Make of that what you will. Let's go to number one.

00:11:50.940 Michigan State Representative Cynthia Johnson has been stripped of her committee assignments for posting a video 0.88

00:11:57.500 where she explicitly threatens violence against Trump supporters. Let's take a listen to that. Here it is.

00:12:02.600 So this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain't playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans.

00:12:18.600 Enough is enough. And for those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay. I love y'all. Bye-bye.

00:12:40.220 I like the I love y'all. Bye-bye at the end. Make them pay. Anyway, love you. Bye-bye. Talk to you later.

00:12:51.440 Now she did post a follow up. Now that to me, I listened to that and sounds like she's calling on

00:12:57.880 soldiers to make them pay. That being they being Trump supporters. Sounds like a call to violence to

00:13:03.520 me. But she did post a follow up to that video where she tried to, I guess, clarify what she meant

00:13:10.980 by soldiers. And here's the clarification. All you soldiers, soldiers of Christ, soldiers against racism,

00:13:23.000 soldiers against misogyny, soldiers against domestic violence and domestic terrorism.

00:13:33.520 soldiers, soldiers rise. It's time for you to rise.

00:13:39.980 soldiers, soldiers for Christ, soldiers against racism, soldiers against misogyny, soldiers

00:13:59.980 soldiers. For black and brown people who are being mistreated. Rise.

00:14:13.440 Soldiers. Soldiers against hate. Soldiers against arthritis. Soldiers against head lice.

00:14:25.160 We're just going through all the bad things that we have. That's what she meant by soldiers.

00:14:28.040 So anyway, we can see from that video that it's, it's, this does actually, I think it does clarify 0.78

00:14:33.160 things in that she's obviously insane. This is an insane person who's been, you know, I don't know 0.99

00:14:39.420 how long she's been in the Michigan state legislature. I'm assuming she's probably been elected, you know,

00:14:45.840 15 times. And, but she's just completely out of her mind. And the, the penalty is that she loses her 1.00

00:14:55.240 committee assignments. That's gotta be nice. That's gotta be nice that, you know, you can blatantly call

00:15:01.880 for violence. And the worst thing that happens is you lose your committee assignments.

00:15:05.180 Uh, no, I think that we need more than committee assignments taken away. This to me is, she should 0.96

00:15:11.860 go to jail for that. You're not allowed to do that. That's not free speech. You can't, you cannot

00:15:17.320 openly, explicitly, uh, try to incite violence against the law, especially when you're elected

00:15:23.660 leader somehow. So yeah, there should be criminal penalties that go beyond losing your committee

00:15:31.000 assignments. It would seem to me. All right. Governor Cuomo, uh, doing his favorite thing

00:15:35.760 yesterday, talking to the cameras called for a public education campaign to battle the scourge of

00:15:41.940 vaccine skepticism. Here he is. First, we're going to have to have a real public education campaign to

00:15:47.920 battle the skepticism. Uh, just think of the math on this. You have to get to 75% to 85% of the overall

00:15:56.360 population vaccinated for the vaccine to be effective. 75% to 85%. 50% of the population

00:16:04.640 says right now, they don't want to take the vaccine. Uh, they don't trust the approval process.

00:16:11.700 Uh, they're worried about vaccines in general, but 50% are now saying they don't want to take

00:16:16.860 the vaccine. You cannot get to 75% if 50% don't take it. That's, even I can do that math.

00:16:26.360 Uh, so we're going to need a real public education to dispel the skepticism that already exists.

00:16:34.440 Okay. So he wants to combat. He wants to battle the skepticism.

00:16:39.040 Maybe he can call up some of us Cynthia Johnson's soldiers for that soldiers against skepticism.

00:16:46.100 Um, but I would suggest that if he wants to deal with skepticism, the first person needs to talk to

00:16:52.700 the first skeptic, uh, the first vaccine skeptic he needs to do battle with is himself. Here is

00:17:00.020 Andrew Cuomo a few weeks ago, sounding rather skeptical, skeptical about the vaccine. Listen.

00:17:05.880 Fauci last night said that he trusts the experts at the FDA, at the FDA. How confident are you

00:17:11.660 in the approval process of the FDA right now?

00:17:14.040 Well, first, uh, how confident am I? Uh, I'm not that confident, but my opinion doesn't matter.

00:17:21.300 I don't believe the American people are that confident. You're going to say to the American

00:17:25.300 people now, here's a vaccine. It was new. It was done quickly, but trust this federal administration

00:17:32.560 and their health administration that it's safe. Uh, and, um, we're not a hundred percent sure of the

00:17:38.900 consequences. I think it's going to be a very skeptical American public about taking the vaccine

00:17:44.400 and they should be, and they should be, and they should be what an absolute fraud. This guy is

00:17:50.080 absolutely. Oh my goodness. Um, they, that was a few weeks ago before the election. The, the, the,

00:17:59.500 the, the, the public should be skeptical. He says, and now he's saying, well, we got to do something

00:18:03.860 about all the skepticism that I was just encouraging 15 seconds ago. Um, and what, what does he say in

00:18:11.700 that clip? What, what does he say that the skepticism should be tied to? Like what are the

00:18:15.460 reasons why people should be skeptical? He said, because it's, it's, it's, it's, uh, it's being

00:18:21.620 rushed. That's his words. It's being rushed. The vaccine's coming out so quickly. Reason to be

00:18:27.560 skeptical about that according to him. And he also says that we should, um, our trust of the vaccine

00:18:33.840 should hinge in large part on how much we trust the federal administration. Okay. And he trusts

00:18:42.700 the Biden administration. He doesn't trust, trust Trump, but there's going to be 50% of the population

00:18:48.760 at least who doesn't trust the Biden administration. And he's the one who said, you know, our trust for

00:18:55.860 the vaccine should, uh, should be hinged on that. Now, speaking of vaccines, I don't know if this will

00:19:01.680 get me labeled in the skeptic camp or not, but I did want to report since we're on the subject.

00:19:05.540 And this seems important to me from the daily mail. This is what they're reporting for people who got

00:19:09.740 Pfizer's coronavirus vaccine in the firm's trial developed Bell developed Bell's palsy, a form of

00:19:14.760 temporary facial paralysis. According to us regulators, uh, who gave that report on the shot.

00:19:21.180 FDA regulators said there wasn't any clear way that the vaccine caused Bell's palsy, but warned that

00:19:26.400 doctors should watch for the alarming side effects and Pfizer should continue to keep tabs on how many

00:19:31.740 people it strikes. No one knows what exactly causes Bell's palsy, which, uh, resolves on its own most of

00:19:38.540 the time. There's just information I'm putting out there. Um, and this is why, as, as I've said all

00:19:46.520 along, my, my own approach or my view of the coronavirus vaccine is read the information on it.

00:19:55.200 Look at all the information, good and bad. Um, make a judgment based on that. Also make a judgment

00:20:01.020 based on whether you're in a demographic or you feel like you need the vaccine. That's my, that's my

00:20:08.340 view on it. If that means that 85% of people get it fine. If that means 50% do fine, people should be

00:20:15.540 able to do what they want. And this is by the way, been my view of vaccines all along in general.

00:20:23.200 I'm often asked, you know, what, what is, what's your position on vaccines? How do you feel about

00:20:28.320 vaccines? I don't have a position on vaccines. It's kind of like asking me, um, what, what,

00:20:34.820 what's your position on drugs on prescription drugs? I don't like all of them. I'm not against all

00:20:40.700 them either. If you need a prescription drug and it's prescribed by a doctor who you trust and you

00:20:44.960 really do need it. And you've, you know, you've done the research on it, then take it. Don't take

00:20:48.400 it too much. Don't take any old drug that someone mentions to you. Uh, I feel the same way about

00:20:53.980 vaccine. I'm not dogmatic about it. And that's how I think we should approach this. All right,

00:20:59.440 let's, um, we'll stay on the COVID topic here. Joe Biden, again, revealing his, uh, masking plan.

00:21:07.680 And he's already talked a little bit about this, but here he lays it out in, uh, with a little bit

00:21:11.500 more detail. Uh, this is Joe Biden explaining his masking plan. Here it is. Watch. My first

00:21:17.120 hundred days is going to require, I'm going to ask for a masking plan. Everyone for the first

00:21:23.940 hundred days of my administration to wear a mask. It will start with my sign in order on day one to

00:21:29.520 require masks where I can under the law, like federal buildings, interstate travel on planes,

00:21:36.380 trains, and buses. I'll also be working with the governors and mayors to do the same in their

00:21:42.540 states and their cities. We're going to require masks wherever possible. Okay. So there you go.

00:21:48.900 A hundred days. That's his hundred day masking plan. Uh, I'll, I'll say two things about it. Number one,

00:21:54.160 I look forward to ignoring it. Uh, I, I don't care what the president's, I appreciate him sharing his

00:21:59.860 opinion on whether I should be wearing a mask. It doesn't really matter to me though. Um, he can,

00:22:04.200 he can give me his opinion, but I don't respect the president's authority to tell me what I should

00:22:09.340 be wearing on my face. I just don't. So I, I look forward to, uh, to, you know, listening to his

00:22:15.000 ideas on that subject and probably ignoring them personally, but why a hundred days, you know,

00:22:22.600 a hundred days of masking. Why, why that? Why a hundred days? We asked this before. Why not 105

00:22:28.820 days? Why not 90 days? Why not 75? Why not a thousand? Why, where'd he come up with a hundred?

00:22:33.480 Right. And we know that there've been a lot of just arbitrary numbers that have been pulled out.

00:22:38.220 We all remember 15 days to slow the spread, which was really six months or seven or eight months,

00:22:42.020 whatever, however, however many, uh, however long it's been at this point. But I think probably

00:22:47.800 with a hundred days, it's, it's not entirely arbitrary. There is, there is a strategy behind it.

00:22:54.500 You think about a hundred days from the inauguration, where does that get us? It gets us to what?

00:23:00.480 Like may, right. Gets us into the spring. And we know that the coronavirus is seasonal,

00:23:05.920 that it ebbs and flows with the seasons. We've got a surge right now. It's within the cold

00:23:11.440 temperatures. It was, uh, it, it dipped during the, uh, the spring and summer. So the way he's got

00:23:17.280 this set up is that a hundred days of masking at the end of that a hundred days, there is going to be

00:23:24.060 a dip, a sizable dip in coronavirus cases because of the season. And we know that for sure,

00:23:31.440 but he's, he's set it up so that when that comes seasonally, he can say, you see my 100 day plan

00:23:38.640 save lives, even though there's no reason to think it will have anything to do with his a hundred day

00:23:43.380 plan. So I think that's part of the strategy here. If I'm not giving him too much credit for being,

00:23:49.120 for being clever, at least, if not also dishonest. Number four report from the New Yorker says

00:23:55.040 several sources inside the Senate say Diane Feinstein, who's 87, struggles to remember

00:24:01.680 briefings just after they take place and that her cognitive decline has been evident for several

00:24:06.480 years. Oh, you know, no big deal. Just a high ranking center in cognitive decline, 87 years old.

00:24:14.060 Um, I read this and I, and I, I just think what, it is crazy that we allow someone at the age of 87

00:24:23.540 to hold elected office in any capacity, let alone at that high, uh, high of a level, 87 years old.

00:24:32.980 You know, after 85, um, I think it's over 30% of people after the age of 85 develop, develop Alzheimer's.

00:24:42.040 30%. So if you look at any average 87 year old, there's around a 30% chance that they have

00:24:49.320 Alzheimer's. That's, that's nothing against older people. It's not an insult. There's just,

00:24:54.920 this is where we're all headed because we are mortal beings and we're not going to live forever.

00:25:00.100 And when you get to be in your eighties, you are towards the end of your life.

00:25:03.560 And on average, the end of your life is going to come up pretty shortly. That's what, that's the

00:25:09.120 situation we all are in, but there are just certain realities of being an older person. This is one of

00:25:14.940 them that you start to lose your mental and physical capacities that will happen to everyone. If you

00:25:20.860 don't die before, those are the two options. Um, it's, you know, that's what it is. Live long enough

00:25:28.100 to lose your mind or die before that happens. Those are sort of like the two options we have as

00:25:32.140 people. It's not great. It's pretty depressing, but that's, there it is. And yet we let people

00:25:39.200 who are in this like red zone where, where, where, where lots of them are going to start losing their

00:25:43.900 minds. We let them run for office. It's crazy to me. This is why I'm always, you know, we talk about

00:25:50.120 term limits. Um, I think term limits are a good idea, but also age limits. There should be an age 0.97

00:25:56.820 limit. Forget about term limits, age limits. How about this? This, this to me seems, seems reasonable.

00:26:04.560 75 is the cutoff after 75, you cannot run for any federal office. So, right. And if we're talking

00:26:13.440 about the presidency, you 35 is, is, is when you can start to run. So that gives you 40 years,

00:26:19.360 35 to 75, that's 40 solid years to run. I think that's enough. I think that's enough of an allotment.

00:26:25.520 If you can't do it in 40 years, that it wasn't for you. Uh, the same goes for the Senate Congress. I

00:26:31.460 just, um, this, there's no good reason to have people in their eighties in public office. I don't

00:26:41.400 see any good reason for it. Um, five, finally, Joe Biden has nominated Lloyd Austin as defense

00:26:48.960 secretary. And here he is explaining his reasoning behind it. Listen, helping inform our efforts to

00:26:55.620 ensure that our armed forces reflect the full strength and diversity of our nation, that black

00:27:01.560 Latino, Asian American, native American, women, men, LGBT service members are treated with dignity and

00:27:09.180 respect. You know, at a time when more than 40% of our act, more than listen, it's more than 40%

00:27:16.940 of our active duty forces are people of color. It's long past time that the department's leadership

00:27:23.360 reflects that diversity. Why, why should it reflect that diversity? Who cares? Who cares about the, 0.97

00:27:33.260 the skin pigmentation of, of people who are leading the military or leading the department of defense.

00:27:40.940 And in, in line with this, the, uh, us special operations command has a Twitter account and they

00:27:46.860 tweeted today, um, sort of lining up with, uh, with Biden's priorities here. They said diversity and

00:27:52.820 inclusion require action. It requires decisions and it requires leaders that must put themselves out

00:27:58.200 there and must make purposeful decisions. This is a quoting from general Richard Clark, uh, commander,

00:28:04.920 and he's speaking at some sort of conference. And then it ends with diversity strengthens.

00:28:10.940 Does it though? How does diversity strengthen the military?

00:28:16.400 You know, my view is the people who run the military people in, uh, in commanding positions

00:28:23.060 should just be the people who are best for the job. I don't care what they look like. I don't

00:28:28.180 care what's what their skin color is. Um, who cares? And it, it really does trouble me. I think 0.91

00:28:36.680 it's a trouble all of us and scare all of us. When we get this kind of woke SJW nonsense from the

00:28:43.760 military, we get it everywhere else in, in society, but we get it from the military. That's a problem

00:28:49.100 because it seems to me that right now with the people running the military, our military,

00:28:55.060 the American military, uh, their focus is on diversity, inclusion, tolerance while elsewhere

00:29:02.780 in the world, like say probably in China, uh, they're focused on making sure their military

00:29:08.040 is a killing machine, an efficient, thorough killing machine. And that concerns me about our

00:29:15.680 prospects. The next time we're in a war with a real superpower, like say China,

00:29:20.200 does anyone feel good about that? I mean, when you, when you, when you go out onto the battlefield

00:29:27.100 against, uh, uh, a superpower, how does your tolerance and inclusion help you? Does it matter

00:29:35.820 at all? Are we hoping the enemy will just be like impressed with it and they'll throw down their arms

00:29:40.340 and give up surrender? I don't think that's going to happen. Um, so, but that's, uh, we've got, we've

00:29:49.020 got Biden now has four years to, uh, to, to further, uh, really speed up this process of making the

00:29:57.560 military more resemble, say, uh, you know, a gender studies class, a little concerned about that before

00:30:04.060 we get our date to our daily cancellation today. You know, there's, there's, there's, there are a few

00:30:07.740 things more important to your general health and wellbeing and happiness in life than getting a

00:30:12.640 good night's sleep. Um, I can tell you for, for, for us, especially that we've got four kids. And

00:30:18.080 if you're a parent with young kids, you've had a baby or something, you know, that you don't get to

00:30:22.780 sleep a lot. So you've got to make use of the time. In fact, my kids, my, my, my two boys, uh, we moved

00:30:29.420 to Tennessee and we moved an hour back. You know, we, we moved into a, just an hour back, um, because, uh,

00:30:36.000 because we're in a different time zone now, my boys somehow still have not adjusted to that change.

00:30:40.760 So they're getting up at like before dawn every single morning. And that's why, again, just when

00:30:46.300 I'm sleeping, I've got to make, I've got to really sleep because I got to get that sleep time in. And

00:30:51.120 that's why I'm so glad that I have my pillow. Uh, my pillow is just everything about my pillow. All of

00:30:56.160 their products are amazing. Uh, and they're, they're act, the actual pillows themselves, the famous pillows,

00:33:03.260 stuff coming up and that's why you want to go to dailywire.com slash subscribe now. Now let's get to

00:33:10.180 our daily cancellation. So today we're going to cancel, uh, the cartoon network. You know, some

00:33:19.280 of you young kids don't remember this and probably can't imagine it, but there was a time when the

00:33:24.300 cartoon network was a network that aired cartoons. This was back in the days when music television had

00:33:30.900 music, the history channel had history, VH1 mostly played matchbox 20 videos. And you can watch all

00:33:36.860 these things while sitting in your beanbag chair, in your JNCO shorts, sipping on high C or sunny D.

00:33:44.740 Those were the days. Now though, everything in pop culture, just like everything in the broader

00:33:48.420 culture must be dedicated first and foremost to preaching dogma, even the military, as we just

00:33:53.560 discussed. It's all televangelism now, all the time, everywhere. And the religion being preached,

00:33:59.380 of course, most of the time is leftism. Cartoons are no exception to this. If anything,

00:34:03.720 cartoons have become especially preachy. It hasn't happened yet, but it seems only a matter of time

00:34:08.000 until Mickey Mouse comes out as a non-binary genderqueer pansexual, releases a PSA to tell 1.00

00:34:14.220 us about it. But in the meantime, we have the cast over at the cartoon network, bearing the crown as

00:34:18.940 the most woke members of the animated community. The latest is an anti-racist PSA posted to the

00:34:24.860 cartoon network's social media channels featuring something or someone called the crystal gems or

00:34:30.120 crystal gem. I'm not sure what or who that is, but it doesn't matter. Here's the PSA, which,

00:34:35.360 by the way, has been shared 25,000 times on Twitter alone. Here it is.

00:34:41.500 All right, class. Can anyone tell me who invented the light bulb?

00:34:46.100 Tell us, Edson!

00:34:47.460 That's not entirely true. The light bulb could more rightfully be attributed to Lewis Latimer,

00:34:52.580 the black inventor behind the filament inside the bulb.

00:34:55.960 His invention made light bulbs affordable and efficient enough for the general public,

00:35:00.860 bringing electric light into households around the world.

00:35:04.000 Well, so now you know.

00:35:08.360 Wait, is that it? Hold on. We're not going to mention why he invented the filament? To create a

00:35:14.880 better standard of living for people who had only just been freed from slavery? Are we going to ask

00:35:19.780 why kids are apparently learning about Thomas Edison? Thomas Edison!

00:35:24.520 And not learning about Lewis Latimer? These textbooks are incomplete. There were black Roman 1.00

00:35:29.760 warriors, black medieval knights, black classical musicians, black cowboys, black fighter pilots.

00:35:34.500 Where are they? I worry about you humans because you only live, what, about a hundred years?

00:35:39.900 You rely on these stories to know your own history. Thanks to systemic racism, most of your

00:35:45.480 storytellers prioritize white accomplishments, which leaves you with an incomplete picture.

00:35:50.780 Ask yourself as you're learning history, who's telling the story? Was this modified to make

00:35:56.020 white readers comfortable? Are major details being left out that would credit people of color

00:36:01.040 and center their point of view? Honestly, I should have asked for script approval before agreeing to

00:36:05.820 do this. We'll do some rewrites. I'm sorry, we didn't know.

00:36:08.500 Well, so now you know. I swear.

00:36:17.000 Sure. Okay. Prioritizing white accomplishments. Yeah, I remember that in school. That was always 0.98

00:36:22.740 my favorite, my favorite subject, white accomplishments. That was the subject they 0.98

00:36:26.260 used to teach us in school. You know, it was a whole, it was a whole subject. It was a whole

00:36:29.760 chapter in the history books, the white accomplishment chapter. But there you go.

00:36:34.600 And now we know, um, where Joe Biden got this. We got a, for example, why in God's name don't

00:36:42.940 we teach history in history classes? A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy 0.90

00:36:51.140 named Edison. Okay. There's so much. Did anybody know before what's recently happened? That black 1.00

00:37:01.460 Wall Street in Oklahoma was burned to the ground. Anybody know these things? We act because we

00:37:07.800 don't teach them. We got to give people facts, teach them what's out there. I don't understand

00:37:17.460 the whisper. Why is he whispering? First of all, it's not like he just completed a marathon. Um,

00:37:22.780 but a black guy invented the light bulb, not Thomas Edison. He says there, Joe Biden,

00:37:27.300 and this is why you can't let grandpa watch too many cartoons. He's very easily influenced these

00:37:31.840 days. Let's just make sure he doesn't start watching Scooby-Doo or else he'll want to defund

00:37:36.440 the police and replace them with four high schoolers and a dog in a van. By the way,

00:37:41.420 that Cartoon Network video links to an anti-racism website, which says at the top,

00:37:46.320 Cartoon Network stands behind anti-racism as part of our commitment to fostering inclusion and equity.

00:37:51.660 Then it gives a link to some resources if we need them. Uh, first of which is something called

00:37:55.780 the National Black Justice Coalition, which we're told is quote, a civil rights organization

00:38:00.400 dedicated to the empowerment of black, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and same gender

00:38:06.180 loving people, including people with HIV slash AIDS. So I want you to make sure you update your woke

00:38:12.220 verbiage glossary here. Uh, it is same gender loving now, not same sex loving. The new acronym is,

00:38:19.140 it says LGBTQ slash SGL. We're now adding slashes to the abbreviation. There's also a plus sign 0.78

00:38:27.280 usually, right? LGBTQ plus. We just need to add some parentheses, multiplication, exponents. 0.68

00:38:32.880 Pretty soon the thing turns into a math equation. Instead of just saying gay people, you have to do

00:38:38.060 calculus. But what about the claim being made here? We're told that it's not entirely true that Thomas

00:38:44.160 Edison invented the light bulb because the invention could more rightfully be attributed to a black

00:38:48.400 inventor named Louis Latimer. That presumably is the black guy that Joe Biden mentioned,

00:38:53.540 though. You never know with him. He could have been referring to, I don't know, Tupac for all we 0.86

00:38:57.000 know, confused as he tends to be these days. Either way, this is all nonsense and you don't need to

00:39:02.920 check Wikipedia to know that it's nonsense. You heard it from the cartoon lady in the video. 0.99

00:39:06.120 She rightly points out that Latimer innovated a filament for the bulb. He didn't invent the filament

00:39:12.360 as is stated. He wasn't the first to come up with a filament, but he did come up with a better,

00:39:16.780 longer lasting filament. An important contribution, no doubt. But that does not equate to inventing the

00:39:23.480 light bulb. I could invent a more durable tire or a more reliable braking system for your car,

00:39:29.680 but there's no way that I can ever invent your car. The car was already invented. That's been done.

00:39:36.760 As for the actual inventor of the light bulb, you know, there's a debate that could be had about that.

00:39:40.800 Edison deserves most of the credit he gets, I think. Joseph Swan, an English scientist,

00:39:44.940 also developed an incandescent bulb independently. Joseph Swan, though, was white. The fact is,

00:39:51.540 this is just a fact. Many of the most important inventions in modern society were given to us

00:39:57.100 by white people, usually men. Not all, but a great many. That's not a racist statement. It's just a

00:40:03.920 fact. It's also not something to be ashamed of or embarrassed or competitive about. May I suggest

00:40:09.800 a different approach and attitude, actually? How about gratitude? You know, the evil white man gets

00:40:14.960 blamed for quite a lot, especially historically. Can we not also be grateful for the amazing 0.98

00:40:19.920 achievements of white men? Why don't you say thank you to Thomas Edison instead of trying to figure out 0.60

00:40:26.940 a way to posthumously steal his invention from him and give it to somebody else?

00:40:30.280 But we live in such irrational times that I will no doubt be accused of racism for saying that we

00:40:37.240 should be grateful for the many wonderful and essential achievements of white men through history.

00:40:41.220 Media Matters is this moment, I'm sure, furiously typing up an article about it. Yet, if I said we

00:40:47.500 should be grateful for the achievements of women or Native Americans or Pacific Islanders or Jamaicans or

00:40:53.680 literally any other group at all, nobody would even consider calling it racist or treating it as

00:40:58.820 controversial. There is just one group, only one group, that we are not allowed to say anything

00:41:05.460 positive about ever. And that's ridiculous. And it's a game that I'm just not going to play. 0.96

00:41:11.940 Yes, white men did many great important things. Your life is better today because of white men. 0.95

00:41:17.560 And you should be grateful. Two white men. That's what I said. I'll keep saying it. And I will laugh at 0.99

00:41:25.260 your outrage and treat it with the contempt it deserves. You know, it's one thing to tear down

00:41:31.020 the statues and take the names off of buildings, as we discussed yesterday. That's bad enough. But

00:41:36.060 we're now entering a phase where the history books are rewritten. The record is altered in service to

00:41:41.240 a narrative that demands that white men are only evil and have never contributed anything but bigotry 0.98

00:41:47.120 and hate to society. Before long, you know, they won't just be taking Jefferson's name off of schools. 0.98

00:41:51.720 They're also going to pretend he didn't write the Declaration of Independence.

00:41:55.600 I wonder who will get the credit for that in our revised account of history.

00:41:59.500 Frederick Douglass, maybe. He was born about 40 years too late, but why should that matter?

00:42:04.400 The truth doesn't matter at all. All that matters is the narrative, which is informed by ideology,

00:42:11.680 not fact. And for that reason, Cartoon Network is canceled. So we've canceled cartoons.

00:42:18.720 We've canceled Santa this week. It's been a rough week, especially for all of our childhoods. But

00:42:24.660 I do what I have to do. The decision is not mine. And we'll leave it there for today.

00:42:30.900 Thanks for watching, everybody. Thanks for listening. Godspeed.
