The government is in the middle of an all-out effort to find the people who stormed the Capitol and bring them to justice. But no such effort has been made against the BLM and Antifa rioters who have killed dozens and caused billions of dollars of damage. And it is this hypocrisy, this inconsistency, and lack of equal justice that partly led to the rioting in the first place. Also, a woman who identifies as a fairy and her two lovers, a troll and a leprechaun. And in our Daily Cancellation, we ll talk about President Trump s second impeachment and why impeaching the president this time is an even worse idea than it was the first time.
00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the government is in the middle of an all-out effort to find the
00:00:03.460people who stormed the Capitol and bring them to justice. But no such effort has been made
00:00:06.620against the BLM and Antifa rioters who've killed dozens and caused billions of dollars of damage.
00:00:12.060And it is this hypocrisy, this inconsistency and lack of equal justice that partly leads to the
00:00:16.560rioting in the first place. So it's worth talking about. Also, five headlines, including the story
00:00:20.360of a woman who identifies as a fairy and her two lovers, a troll and a leprechaun. Classic love
00:00:25.320story. And in our Daily Cancellation, we'll talk about President Trump's second impeachment
00:00:28.760and why impeaching the president this time is an even worse idea than it was the first time.
00:00:33.300All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:01:37.240detect your information being used in their networks, they'll send you an alert, and you

00:02:14.620So yesterday, Michael Sherwin, who's the acting U.S. attorney for D.C., announced that he was
00:02:19.040building a case against a number of the rioters on Capitol Hill last week. One thing we've seen
00:02:23.960from the very beginning is that the government at every level is taking the incident extremely
00:02:28.640seriously and arresting and prosecuting all the culprits it can find. A number of them, including
00:02:32.980the dude who walked out holding the speaker's lectern. He's already been arrested and frog-marched in
00:02:39.340front of cameras. Another guy who breached the Capitol with a handful of zip ties and his mom
00:02:44.480at his side has also been arrested. Several others as well, with more coming. So here's Sherwin
00:02:50.500explaining. Listen. What the public isn't familiar with is that the FBI, working with the U.S.
00:02:57.720attorney's offices across the country and the crux of those being in D.C., we're looking at
00:03:02.840significant felony cases tied to sedition and conspiracy. Just yesterday, our office organized
00:03:10.220a strike force of very senior national security prosecutors and public corruption prosecutors.
00:03:16.240Their only marching orders from me are to build seditious and conspiracy charges related to the
00:03:23.180most heinous acts that occurred in the Capitol. And these are significant charges that have
00:03:28.160felonies with prison terms of up to 20 years. In addition to that, we're looking and taking a
00:03:34.380priority with cases in which weapons were involved and cases in which destructive devices were involved.
00:03:40.300As people know, through news reports, there were pipe bombs found outside the Capitol. The ATF is
00:03:45.680working on that. Metro police is working on that. FBI is working on that to find that individual or
00:03:50.820individuals who planted those devices.
00:03:52.900Yeah, I think he means build sedition charges, not build seditious charges. That's a very different
00:03:59.880kind of concept. But this is all fine with me. You know, you can argue about whether sedition
00:04:03.560is an overreach. But frankly, as far as I'm concerned, if you're stupid enough to go storming
00:04:08.740into the Capitol building, smiling for the cameras all the while, then you deserve the legal consequences.
00:04:14.340I will be crying no tears for any of the idiots who made that choice. Quite the opposite.
00:04:19.660I believe in law and order. It isn't a slogan for me. I want people
00:04:22.940who behave this way to face severe repercussions. I want that because I want my kids to live in a
00:04:29.100functioning and civilized human society. That's something I actually want. I feel like I'm in
00:04:33.940a minority now, but I actually want that. And they cannot have such a society if chaos and anarchy are
00:04:39.580not contained and punished. The problem here, at least my problem, is that as we have covered on this
00:04:45.580show extensively, this same hammer should have been brought down on the BLM rioters and insurrectionists
00:04:51.280who reigned terror in our cities for months on end. The powers that be ought to have made them pay
00:04:58.520a steep price also. We ought to have been hearing about 25-year prison sentences for them. But we
00:05:04.480didn't. Instead, we heard about prosecutors dropping charges. We heard about Democrat politicians
00:05:10.500fundraising to pay for their bail. Kamala Harris being one of them. An entirely different standard
00:05:17.580of justice is being applied. And the reason for that is obvious. For one, the rioters over the
00:05:24.280summer had the more popular, the more orthodox political views, at least in our society these days.
00:05:30.560Also, they mostly victimized their own neighbors and their own communities. These were atrocities
00:05:35.400committed against people that our elites don't know in communities they don't care about and
00:05:41.240wouldn't even want to drive through in the middle of the day. So that's the difference. But the point
00:05:45.780here is not merely to point out inconsistency and hypocrisy. It's worth doing that, you know, because
00:05:49.960hypocrisy shouldn't be allowed to hide in the dark. Shedding light on it just for the sake of shedding
00:05:55.280light on it is a worthwhile thing to do. Yet it only goes so far. After a while, you've made your point
00:06:00.800about the hypocrisy. You've said this is hypocritical. What else is there to say? What else is there to do
00:06:07.140but to keep saying what you've already said? Well, in this case, there's a good reason to dwell on the
00:06:11.240point, I think. The reason is that the hypocrisy of the elites, of our lawmakers, politicians in D.C.,
00:06:19.380their self-interest, their disregard for everything that doesn't benefit them politically, the two-tier
00:06:24.400justice system, the double standard, all of this is part of what leads to things like rioting. Or as
00:06:31.780it's called when BLM does it, unrest. Now, I'm not referring just to the events in D.C. last week. I'm
00:06:38.340referring to the general breakdown of order, the lawlessness and chaos across the board. This is
00:06:44.260an inevitability, an entirely predictable and unavoidable outcome when people lose their faith in
00:06:50.060the system and no longer have confidence that justice is being done. And they feel as though
00:06:55.040they can't believe anything they're told. This is not an excuse for rioting or violence.
00:07:00.500We have to be able to talk about these things and make observations about them, diagnose their causes
00:07:05.840without being bullied into silence because we're scared that we'll be accused of excusing it.
00:07:12.520Those who wish to miss the point will. But it's just like if you were to park your car in the city
00:07:17.380and leave your wallet sitting in full view on the middle console, the person who breaks the window
00:07:22.520and takes the wallet isn't excused for doing it. But it would be perfectly reasonable for me to point
00:07:27.660out that when you make the choice that you made, you almost guarantee that this negative thing will
00:07:32.780happen as a result. So don't make that choice. So you look where we are now. The country feels as
00:07:39.180though it's teetering on the brink of full-scale collapse. And there is no one among our leaders
00:07:46.100and very few in media, very few with a public platform of any size who can speak to the problem,
00:07:53.720who can warn effectively against it and call for calm because there's almost nobody with any
00:07:59.380credibility at this point. There's almost nobody who is trusted by anyone, let alone a majority.
00:08:06.300And when they try to dispel the conspiracy theories that are driving some of this stuff,
00:08:10.440there aren't many people who can dispel them credibly because they aren't trusted, because
00:08:16.040they're proven liars and hacks. And the response is, oh, you're telling me that Q isn't real? Well,
00:08:20.900you also told me Trump was a secret Russian agent for four years, et cetera, and so forth.
00:08:25.840That's the way it goes now. A country without trust, without leadership, that's what we're living in.
00:08:32.600And we have not yet seen the worst of what will happen as a result of that. Let's get to our five
00:08:40.400headlines. Bad news for CNN, by the way. Good news for everybody else. But CNN's Oliver Darcy
00:08:51.920announced yesterday that the CNN airport network is going to end operations as of March 31st. And
00:08:59.260they're saying that nobody's flying anymore, so there's no reason to have the airport network
00:09:05.340going. But this is going to... How does this not spell the end of CNN? Because that was 95% of their
00:09:14.500audience when you're stuck in an airport terminal. And as someone who does a lot of flying, this is
00:09:19.820great news for me. Because the problem is when you're sitting in an airport terminal, and I don't
00:09:25.220know what it is exactly, but if there's something on the TV, you have to watch it. There's something
00:09:30.180psychologically that just propels you. Even if you can't hear the sound, you have to just keep your
00:09:34.680eyes glued on Brian Stelter's face. But our suffering as a nation is coming to an end. CNN will be gone
00:09:44.380from the airports. March 31st. That's when our national nightmare ends. So that's good news. Let's get to
00:09:51.840the real headlines, though. Number one from the Daily Wire. It says, government-subsidized broadcaster
00:09:55.460PBS released a statement Tuesday in reaction to an explosive video from James O'Keefe's Project
00:10:01.480Veritas that featured an employee advocating for Trump supporters to be sent to re-education camps
00:10:07.380and also advocated for the forcible removal of their children by the government. Statement announced
00:10:12.980that this employee no longer works for PBS. As a mid-level staff attorney, he did not speak on behalf
00:10:17.740of our organization, nor did he make any editorial decisions. So this now former employee is PBS
00:10:25.340principal counsel Michael Beller. And here's, we'll play some of the audio that Project Veritas got of
00:10:31.220him just revealing what he really thinks and how he really feels. This again is someone who worked for
00:10:36.760PBS, government-subsidized. Let's listen to some of this.
00:10:40.360Anyone Biden wins? We'll go through all the Republican voters and Homeland Security. We'll take the children and we'll put them into re-education camps. Amen.
00:10:54.360In these times, which are unique, we need Trump as close to getting this.
00:11:03.960What are we going to do if you don't like me?
00:11:05.560I don't know the white house. I'm going to throw a mouth of a cup down.
00:11:10.500That's actually the first time I've watched that. So he said, it's a little bit hard to hear,
00:11:13.900but he said, we need to put Trump supporters' children in re-education camps. He compared
00:11:22.440Trump to Hitler. And then later on, he talks about how, you know, so many people in the country are
00:11:29.840stupid and he likes being in DC because he gets to be around smart people. So I just, here's the thing
00:11:37.700with stuff like that. I don't know. Whenever one of these videos comes out of the secret tape of
00:11:45.240somebody in media talking about how they really feel and oftentimes the reaction from conservatives,
00:11:51.920there's like a big reaction from conservatives and we make a big deal of it. But I see these,
00:11:57.320I'll be honest, I listen to these tapes and I just sort of yawn. I don't see, well, yeah,
00:12:01.200of course I know they feel that way. There's nothing shocking about that to me at all. I'm fully aware.
00:12:07.700That nearly everyone who works in mass media, that is exactly how they feel.
00:12:12.840They think that we're all a bunch of stupid bumpkins. They think Trump is Hitler. I mean,
00:12:18.240they say that on TV, so there's nothing shocking about that. They think we're not fit to raise our
00:12:23.280own kids. Our kids should be sent to re-education camps. That's what public school system is, by the
00:12:27.120way. So if you're, if you're traumatized or scandalized by the idea of kids being sent to
00:12:31.600re-education camps and you send your kid to public school, well, you're doing it right now as we speak.
00:12:35.880Um, so I guess I, I just don't often see the point. Yeah, I get it. I know that's how they feel.
00:12:45.380All right. I mean, I don't like it. I can't say I'm okay with it, but I am aware that that's the
00:12:50.720situation. And that's why I don't turn to these people for information or news personally.
00:12:56.320All right, let's go to number two. Ilhan Omar, um, is speaking out about the trauma that she has
00:13:04.620suffered and about the fact that she is marginalized, which is one of her favorite
00:13:08.500topics. Well, her favorite topic is herself in general, but, uh, especially her, her marginalization
00:13:12.880that she suffers in society. Let's listen to that. As you know, the last two years, the president has
00:13:18.620put a target behind my, um, on my back and it has been quite threatened, frightening to be a lawmaker
00:13:26.100in the United States with a president that has, uh, incited, uh, violence against myself and my
00:13:33.220family and those who, uh, carry the marginalized identities that I do. Those who carry the marginalized
00:13:40.560identities that I do, you carry an identity around something you carry around like a, like a, you
00:13:47.700know, like a suitcase, uh, marginalized. You're not only in Congress, but you are far and away,
00:13:58.640one of the most visible and influential members of Congress for better or worse. And I would say for
00:14:04.400worse, for more, for worse, for the rest of us and for America, but not for you. So no, you just,
00:14:11.560you gotta, I know it's hard, right? I know it's hard to do if you're Ilhan Omar and identity politics,
00:14:18.680self-victimization, this is in your blood. This is, this is, this is what you live for, right? This
00:14:23.760is your, your whole life. Um, so it's hard to put it to the side, but you really need to
00:14:29.800because now you're in government, you have control and power over other people.
00:14:36.940Just a general rule. If you're elected to Congress, it means you're not marginalized.
00:14:42.880That whatever marginal, whatever it means to be marginalized. I'm pretty sure that being
00:14:45.940elected to public office is the opposite of being marginalized. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, uh,
00:14:53.480spoke yesterday about a few things. Um, the 25th amendment threats being one of the,
00:14:59.780one of the things. And he, he, he made a point about 25th amendment that I thought was pretty
00:15:05.020good. So let's listen to that. Before we begin, I'd like to say that free speech is under assault
00:15:10.460like never before. The 25th amendment is of zero risk to me, but we'll come back to haunt Joe Biden
00:15:18.740and the Biden administration. As the expression goes, be careful what you wish for. The impeachment
00:15:26.400hoax is a continuation of the greatest and most vicious witch hunt in the history of our country
00:15:32.180and is causing tremendous anger and division and pain far greater than most people will ever
00:15:38.700understand, which is very dangerous for the USA, especially at this very tender time.
00:15:44.880Yeah, I think the point he made there is exactly correct. The 25th amendment is supposed to remove,
00:15:51.540um, presidents who are incapacitated, presidents who are not able to perform the duties of, of the
00:15:58.300presidency. Whatever you think of Trump, you can think that Trump is the most evil guy in the world.
00:16:03.340That doesn't, that doesn't mean that he's incapacitated or can, cannot perform the duties of,
00:16:07.660of the president. That's not what the 25th amendment is not supposed to be for that,
00:16:10.720for, for, for just removing someone because, uh, you think he's just a really bad guy.
00:16:16.180Um, but if you want to talk about a president who can't perform his duties, who's incapacitated,
00:16:21.500that we could very well see that happen with Joe Biden. That is a, that's a prediction that we may
00:16:29.140see play out. Now, as far as the 25th amendment goes, uh, Mike Pence, vice president Pence sent a
00:16:36.580letter to Nancy Pelosi because it was being demanded that he, you know, initiate this process,
00:16:41.000invoke the 25th amendment to get rid of, uh, Trump. And he responded, sent a letter. Uh, I thought it
00:16:47.180was a short letter, but it was good. And to the point, and he said, not going to do that. That
00:16:51.580would be unconstitutional. I'm not going to do it. So I have to tell you, you look at the situation
00:16:56.600that Mike Pence has been put in over the last, just the last week alone. Now I've been really
00:17:03.460impressed with him. I've been impressed with him through the last four years. Um, especially
00:17:07.980the last couple of months. I thought he was great in the debates, but then you look at
00:17:11.880the, just the last week where he has been put twice now in a week in an unthinkably difficult
00:17:20.720position where doing the right thing meant infuriating first one side of the aisle and then
00:17:28.440the other. For, you know, last week, uh, it was pissing off the, the, the right wing and many
00:17:36.680conservatives who now call him a traitor wrongly by the way. Uh, and now it's the left wing. And in
00:17:42.940both cases, I have been very impressed with how he handled it. Um, I think he's shown himself to be
00:17:50.380a man of integrity. He's, you know, he's not a showman. He's not into the theatrics. He goes about
00:17:58.160his business in a really sort of boring way, which I'm perfectly fine with. I, I kind of like boring
00:18:04.120from politicians. I'm fine with that, but he does the right thing. He did the right thing both, both
00:18:09.900times here. Uh, so I think it deserves, Mike Pence deserves credit for that. Although he's not going to
00:18:14.680get it from, from almost anyone on, on either side. All right. This is from Reuters. It says the FBI
00:18:23.000has warned of armed protests being planned for Washington and all 50 U S states, uh, U S state
00:18:28.520capitals in the run-up to president elect Joe Biden's inauguration on January 20th. It's according
00:18:33.920to a federal law enforcement source threatened with more violence from the outgoing, uh, president
00:18:38.180Donald Trump supporters, blah, blah, blah. That's Reuters. Okay. Um, the point is that they're
00:18:42.480what we're being told now is that, uh, Trump's supporters are organizing these armed protests.
00:18:52.020Some of the reports are, we're going to have them in all 50 States. That that's not going to happen.
00:18:55.840Um, and then others are saying, well, it's just going to be another big thing in DC.
00:19:00.120I don't know how much of this is real. You know, if there's really going to be armed protests all over
00:19:04.140the place. Um, but you know, I haven't heard the people that I know and talk to. I haven't heard anyone
00:19:11.800saying that they plan on attending something like that, but I can tell you right now for the record,
00:19:18.300uh, if you're on the right and you go to something like that, especially in DC on inauguration day,
00:19:27.600you are waltzing right into a trap. So that, that would be an enormously stupid thing to do
00:19:34.680to attend something like that, especially on the day of the inauguration.
00:19:41.120And aside from protests, I just want to say, even if there are no big protests or anything,
00:19:45.900um, what I, what I would really hope my, my hope is I hope to God that there are no scenes
00:19:53.580on inauguration day when Biden is being inaugurated. I hope there are no scenes of any conservatives or
00:19:58.500anybody on the right crying and screaming in the streets because they're so distraught by what's
00:20:04.340happening. Cause if you recall, that's exactly what the left did when Trump was inaugurated.
00:20:09.940There are some very famous scenes. We know the one famous scene of the woman on, on the ground,
00:20:14.840her falling to her knees, hands in the air, screaming no to the sky. That is something that
00:20:21.700will live in infamy. That image, uh, that the, the, the left has been branded by that image and,
00:20:28.680and for good reason, cause they've lived up to that. It encapsulates how they've behaved over the last
00:20:33.200four years. Um, now up until recently, I would have thought it's unthinkable that the right would,
00:20:39.140would do that. I wasn't worried about it at all. Now I'm a little bit worried about it. So let's,
00:20:44.900let's not do that. Let's maintain, let's be calm. Let's be dignified. Um, let's be, let's maintain
00:20:52.420self-respect and, you know, keep our cool. So we don't embarrass ourselves. That would be my,
00:21:01.440my urging to everybody. All right. This is from the New York post says the department of education,
00:21:07.380the department of education ended the suspense around, uh, this is in New York around, around
00:21:11.520the city's accelerated gifted and talented program Tuesday night, announcing that the single test
00:21:17.000entry system will end after this year. Parents have been clamoring for answers on the coveted program
00:21:21.640that admits, uh, kids based on standardized exam scores beginning at age four. Backers say they
00:21:28.380give academically advanced kids. So these are the kids that are tagged as gifted and talented. That's
00:21:34.000the name of the program. Uh, backers say the, the, the, the, the tests give academically advanced kids
00:21:39.460the opportunity to learn at an appropriate pace and serve as an educational springboard. Detractors
00:21:44.700counter that the admissions model favors families of means who are able to prepare for the test that
00:21:49.920the exam serves as a poor marker of talent and young children. And then it goes on to say that
00:21:54.920there gets into the racial element and it's claimed that this gifted and talented program was somehow
00:21:59.800racist, putting that to the side, putting the, the racial elements to the side. And this is something
00:22:06.460I can remember growing up in school. We had, we had something similar. We had a gifted and talented
00:22:10.080program where you, you got into it by testing. You had to take standardized tests. And if you got
00:22:16.300the right answers on the test and you know, you, they, they test you, I don't know if it was every
00:22:19.340year. I can't remember, but periodically you'd be tested again. And if you got the right answers to
00:22:23.460the test and you did well in the test, then you're gifted and talented. You're a gifted and talented kid.
00:22:28.960And then these, but these other kids are not, they're not gifted and talented.
00:22:31.720Maybe it might surprise you to learn. I, I, I'm, I am in favor of getting rid of those kinds of
00:22:38.360systems also. Now I know we don't want to, you could go too far with this. You know, some school
00:22:45.020districts like in San Diego, they're getting rid of grading completely because they don't want to
00:22:48.920hurt the kids' feelings. That obviously is absurd. But I, I do think it's a problem when you've got all
00:22:55.320these kids in school to take some kids, set them aside and say, these are the gifted and talented
00:22:59.520ones. If you don't do well on this test, you're not gifted and talented. My problem with it is that
00:23:06.000a test, and this is one of the problems with the, the education system as it functions right now,
00:23:12.820generally, that a standardized test is simply not a good measure of whether or not a child is gifted
00:23:20.120and talented. Your kid could do really well on tests and have no talent and really not be all that
00:23:28.540gifted. Their ability to perform well on tests, that, that, that speaks to their ability to memorize
00:23:34.680things and regurgitate them, which, okay, let me back up. That is one, that is a talent. So they have
00:23:41.220one talent. Fine. It's certainly not the most important talent to foster in a child. Doesn't make
00:23:50.420them smarter. And so the more we standardize education and everything relies on tests, then we,
00:23:57.820we reward students who do well in this one facet of learning, which isn't even really learning
00:24:04.260because just because you can remember something and regurgitate, it doesn't mean you understand it.
00:24:07.460Um, so I, I, I think that's a good, a good idea to get rid of things like that, to get rid of systems
00:24:16.980like that. And if you want to identify the kids who are really gifted and talented and put them on a
00:24:24.060different track, so they're not, you know, so, so, so they can learn at a, at a speed and a level
00:24:28.640that's appropriate for them. Uh, I don't think testing is the way to do it, at least not these kinds
00:24:33.520of standardized tests. All right. Number five, the hosts of the show this morning on BBC interviewed
00:24:40.700a woman. Uh, this is a couple in, uh, I think they're in, I want to say they're in Seattle or
00:24:46.560Portland. I believe I'm probably just stereotyping, but I'm, I would guess accurately. So a woman who
00:24:54.060identifies as a fairy and who's in a sexual relationship with a man who identifies as a troll
00:24:59.780and also another man. So it's a thruple and there's another man who identifies as a leprechaun
00:25:04.100and they're all together. One happy family. And, uh, here's some of that interview that we all need
00:25:09.180to watch. Here it is. Princess Fairy Lolly, Gunther the troll, and Eye on the Leprechaun join us now
00:25:15.200from their home in Seattle. And good morning. It is so lovely to have you here on the show. Welcome.
00:25:21.640Good morning. Good morrow. Good morning. Good morrow. Good morrow. So let's start with you,
00:25:25.760first of all, uh, Princess Lolly, if you don't mind. Now you identify as a full-time fairy. So
00:25:30.420just explain what life is like. So yes, as a full-time fairy, that it is basically my duty
00:25:40.480all the time to, uh, traipse about in the land of real, as we refer to it and spread what fairy magic
00:25:48.420I can. Hither and yon. Primarily that takes place at, uh, our fairy festival that we produce,
00:25:56.380which is Fairy Blossom and other Renaissance Fairs, festivals. And then also because of COVID
00:26:01.920this year, we have a really, uh, launched forth via the YouTube portals.
00:26:08.020Mm-hmm. And, uh, and when did you discover that you actually were a fairy?
00:26:15.980Many years ago. We don't like to count too much in, you know, how counting goes and time
00:26:22.160and fairies, but... I can't do it anyway. Uh, we, we shall say it has been sometime since
00:26:27.900when I was a youngling. Okay. So let's introduce us to who you're with. You've got, um, Gunther.
00:26:34.020We all get the idea. You got the gist of it. There it is. Uh, I have to say that I, I mean,
00:26:41.160I can relate to the fairy in some ways. She says it's her mission to traipse about in the land of
00:26:45.660real and spread fairy magic. In many ways, you know, I, I think of myself in a similar way,
00:26:50.940spreading fairy magic. That's what I do with this show. I hope that's my goal. I do it on a part-time
00:26:55.780basis though. This woman identifies as a full-time fairy. So that's, that's, uh, that's an important
00:26:59.520distinction. And it sets her apart from one of her boyfriends there who, uh, we didn't hear from in the
00:27:03.880clip, but he identifies as a leprechaun only part-time. So we've got a troll full-time leprechaun
00:27:09.240part-time. And you know what? Love is love, you bigots. That's it. And, and besides there's,
00:27:16.300there's nothing objectively more absurd about this than about the left's gender theories.
00:27:23.480They're at least as ridiculous. And besides, I think that they were mainly just trying to promote
00:27:28.980the Renaissance festival on second thought, watching that again, which for me raises questions
00:27:33.280about Renaissance festivals. I've never, I've never been to one, but I thought the idea that a
00:27:39.260Renaissance festival was supposed to be a celebration of the Renaissance period in history. Isn't that what
00:27:44.540it was supposed to be? And they didn't like actually have fairies and trolls in the Renaissance period.
00:27:50.260You're thinking of middle earth, which is a common mistake, but it's very different.
00:27:54.720But the point again, is that even with something like this, um, if they are being serious about it,
00:28:01.360there is zero basis to deny their self-identity as mythical creatures with the way we think of
00:28:07.680identity these days. Anyway, you know, one of the worst sounds that we all experience is,
00:28:12.600unfortunately, the first sound we hear in the morning is our alarm going off. It means we have
00:28:15.840to get up and face another day in this dreary world. Uh, it's especially hard to hear if you've been,
00:28:21.460if you have Helix sleep, if you have a Helix sleep mattress, that alarm, because you're sleeping so
00:28:26.200deep and it just yanks you out of that sleep. Uh, that's why you need to get a Helix sleep
00:28:29.900mattress. Helix sleep has a quiz that takes just two minutes to complete and it matches your body
00:28:34.840type and sleep preferences to the perfect mattress for you. If you like a mattress that's really soft
00:28:39.100or firm, you sleep on your side or your back. Uh, if you get really hot while you're sleeping,
00:28:44.260whatever it is with Helix, there's a specific mattress for each and everybody's unique taste.
00:28:47.960Uh, you don't need to take their word for it either. Why do that? Helix was awarded the number
00:28:52.300one best overall mattress of 2019 and 2020 by GQ and Wired Magazine. Just go to helixsleep.com
00:28:58.460slash Walsh, take their two minute sleep quiz. I've done it myself. Um, and they'll match you to a
00:29:03.600customized mattress that will give you the best sleep of your, of your life. I was skeptical at
00:29:08.300first taking the quiz because there's not that many questions. And I thought, are the, is this really
00:29:12.100going to be enough for them to send me a mattress that's perfect for me? And then they sent the
00:29:15.620mattress. And the answer is yes. It's a perfect mattress right now. Helix is offering up to $200
00:29:20.500off and free pillows with all mattress orders for our listeners at helixsleep.com slash Walsh.
00:29:26.000That's helixsleep.com slash Walsh for up to $200 off your mattress order. And tomorrow night,
00:29:32.220Daily Wire makes its entrance into entertainment content. Uh, at 7 PM Eastern, 4 PM Pacific, we will
00:29:38.300air a virtual premiere of our first feature film, Run, Hide, Fight, in a special episode of Backstage.
00:29:44.040You don't want to miss this. The premiere, the premiere will stream live over at the dailywire.com
00:29:48.920at our website, also on the streaming apps and on our YouTube channel, all of that. After tomorrow's
00:29:53.480event, the movie will be available exclusively to Daily Wire members. Uh, so please be aware,
00:30:00.040Run, Hide, Fight is not a political film. It is intense though. And it's for mature audiences only.
00:30:04.740The movie follows a high school siege by a quartet of school shooters. When one young girl,
00:30:08.90017 year old Zoe Hall uses her wits and survival skills to fight back. This is not your typical,
00:30:14.720conservative documentary about George Washington's mother's cousin. Nothing against those, by the
00:30:19.780way. I'm very interested in George Washington's mother's cousin, but, uh, this is not that. This is
00:30:24.440something very different. We're excited to bring it to you. We're excited to bring you great stories
00:30:28.040that Hollywood refuses to acknowledge and show. And we hope you'll join us for this special event
00:30:32.740tomorrow night. That's 7 PM Eastern, 4 PM Pacific at dailywire.com, Apple TV, Oroku, or the Daily Wire
00:30:37.880YouTube channel. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:30:44.860So today for our daily cancellation, we're going to cancel everybody involved in the impeachment
00:30:48.240efforts, efforts currently underway in the house. Uh, the articles of impeachment released last night
00:30:52.420charged Donald Trump with incitement of insurrection and other crimes as well. Now,
00:30:57.020usually the daily cancellation is, is reserved for things that aren't very serious. This is a time
00:31:01.280for content. That's maybe a bit more farcical than the rest of the show. And, and that's in fact,
00:31:05.820actually why it's a good place to discuss the Democrats second impeachment of Trump,
00:31:09.840which is indeed a farce, unserious, a political stunt. So here are the problems with impeaching
00:31:16.240Trump as far as I can see, at least two of the problems. First of all, no matter what you think
00:31:21.980of the fact that Trump was claiming voter fraud and the fact that he called for a rally in DC and the
00:31:26.680fact that he sent the crowd over to the Capitol building, you can't get around, uh, the fact that,
00:31:32.460that Trump did specifically call for a peaceful protest in his remarks to the crowd. You could
00:31:38.640check the transcript. I have, and here's what the transcript says. Here's what he said.
00:31:43.500We have come to demand that Congress do the right thing and only count the electors who have been
00:31:47.200lawfully slated. I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building to
00:31:52.000peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard. That's what he said. Now you might argue that
00:31:58.260he didn't really mean it. You might argue that he didn't really care what would happen. You can argue
00:32:02.280all that. You might be wrong. You might be right. But the fact still remains that he did explicitly
00:32:07.260and verbally call for a peaceful protest. We have seen lawmakers encourage violence and riots
00:32:14.380explicitly. We know what that sounds like. The democratic state representative in Michigan a few
00:32:19.180weeks ago, we played that clip, uh, calling on quote unquote soldiers to find Trump supporters and
00:32:24.400quote, quote, make them pay. Okay. That if Trump had said to the crowd, find these lawmakers and make
00:32:31.380them pay. Okay. Now you got a case that is obviously incitement. Ayanna Pressley during the BLM riots
00:32:41.900calling for more quote unrest in the streets. Once again, if Trump had said, go to the Capitol building
00:32:49.420and there needs to be unrest. If he had said there has to be unrest at the Capitol building in order
00:32:54.240to, uh, prevent this from happening. Once again, you have a case. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez blasting the
00:33:01.760people who called for an end to the unrest, claiming that to call for an end to the unrest is to call for
00:33:07.080injustice to continue. That's what she said. Maxine Waters telling her supporters to track down Trump
00:33:12.420administration officials in public and to create a crowd and let them know they aren't welcome anywhere.
00:33:17.540Those are direct quotes. All of these and much more are examples of explicit incitement, direct
00:33:24.420incitement. And as it happens, all of the people guilty of it now support impeaching Trump for
00:33:31.360allegedly doing what they unquestionably have done themselves. Um, if you want to argue that it's
00:33:38.420incitement simply to get a potentially unruly crowd riled up with dubious claims and to send them
00:33:45.120out to sort of broadly fight for this or that, then again, the Democrats behind this impeachment would
00:33:51.320be guilty of the same. Even the ones who didn't explicitly endorse rioting were still spreading
00:33:56.880the false claims that fueled the riots and encouraging the rioters to continue the fight
00:34:02.060for social justice. So before the Democrats can even begin to make a case for impeachment,
00:34:08.260all of those guilty of doing these things would need to admit their guilt and resign.
00:34:15.460That's what they would have to do. Do that first. Here's the deal that I would make
00:34:19.580if I had any power at all, which I don't, uh, do that first. If you're a Democrat and you were guilty
00:34:26.420of incitement yourself by your own standard, guilty of it by the standard you're now applying to Trump.
00:34:31.920If you did it yourself, resign. And then I'm willing to listen to the impeachment case
00:34:38.880from the three or four Democrats who remain in office. That should be the deal. If the Republicans
00:34:45.920had any sense, any backbone, any spine, that's what they would be saying. They should be saying,
00:34:52.520absolutely. Let's, let's, let's get rid of everybody who's been guilty of inciting riots
00:34:57.440during this time of chaos and anarchy, uh, cause it's, it's, it's, it's enough. We have to put an
00:35:02.960end to it. Um, so let's get rid of all of them and let's start with you guys. That's what they
00:35:09.160should be saying. Second point, all that aside, um, or not aside, but at least, uh, you know, I make
00:35:16.040this point as an important addition to the previous Donald Trump is out of office in a week, seven
00:35:21.340days. That's it. He'll be gone regardless. And I would bet everything I own that Trump is
00:35:27.280not going to run again in 2024 at the age of 78. After all of this, I mean, he may say he will,
00:35:33.500he may make, he may make noises to that effect over the next four years, but I don't think he's
00:35:37.920really going to do it. So this is not even an effort to remove him from office because he's
00:35:42.780going to be gone before the Senate trial can begin. And I don't buy that this is about stopping
00:35:47.020him from running again. In fact, I think the Democrats would love for Trump to run again.
00:35:51.420They're terrified of the prospect of having to exist now on their own without being able to define
00:35:56.820themselves by their opposition to Trump. They can't even remember what it was like to have a
00:36:01.960political ideology that wasn't defined by Trump. So this isn't about removing him, um, from office
00:36:09.120because again, he'll already be gone and it isn't about stopping him from running again. This is
00:36:12.840rather symbolic. It is theater. It is impeachment as theater. And it's not the first time the Democrats
00:36:19.920have done it. The people who have pretended to be so concerned about norms and about protecting the
00:36:25.440democratic system and so on have now turned impeachment, which is an essential tool into
00:36:31.040a meaningless, empty gesture. Two presidents in nearly 250 years had been impeached before Trump.
00:36:38.860The Democrats have now impeached Trump twice in almost a year, meaning they've done it as many times
00:36:46.760in a year as every Congress in history had done it before this. They have doubled the number of
00:36:53.480impeachment in a year. They've doubled it. So that means it's been cheapened. The, the, the,
00:36:59.800the tool of impeachment has been cheapened to the point of uselessness. What this means now is that,
00:37:06.560um, impeachment will be used commonly. If the opposing party controls the house, uh, it'll be
00:37:12.600used just to make a political point because that's what it's become now. What was once rare, what was once
00:37:18.180nearly unthinkable will now be utterly commonplace, a matter of course, you know, we had, we have now
00:37:26.460four impeachments in 20, 250 years. It was two. Now we have four. The next 20 years, we'll probably
00:37:32.460see that many. We'll probably double it in another 20 years, if not more because of what they've done
00:37:40.660with this tool of impeachment. And again, an essential tool. Now it means nothing because of
00:37:48.420what Democrats have done, because they are using it as just symbolism. And that's why, um, I think we
00:38:00.720should all be opposed to impeachment, no matter how you feel about Trump. That's why we should all be
00:38:05.280opposed to it. And that's why the Democrats are canceled. Certainly not, not for the first time and
00:38:10.200certainly not for the last time I suspect, but we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching
