The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 641 - Weird Creep In The White House Forces Girls To Share Bathrooms With Boys

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Joe Biden made it a day one priority to ensure that boys and girls

00:00:05.120 use the same bathroom. And he made good on that promise. That was his priority. Also five headlines

00:00:09.440 including bad speeches and bad poetry at the inauguration, plus a 100 day mask mandate goes

00:00:15.980 into effect. And a professional video game player suffers a career ending injury. Very sad story

00:00:20.800 there. And in our daily cancellation, I will cancel the proposed Patriot Party before it even

00:00:26.120 has a chance to exist. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 First, let's talk about ExpressVPN. You know, I've been talking about ExpressVPN on my show for a

00:00:41.360 long time, for months now. So why haven't you gotten a VPN yet? Why haven't you done it? Explain that to

00:00:46.460 me. Explain it right now. Actually explain it later because I got to tell you more about this. Ladies 0.69

00:00:49.800 and gentlemen, I'll tell you this. There has never been a more important time to protect your digital

00:00:53.820 rights. That's why I and thousands of my patriotic listeners choose to secure our online data by using

00:00:59.240 ExpressVPN. Did you believe that a VPN isn't for you because you can use the internet just fine

00:01:03.720 without one? You know, that's what a lot of people think. Anytime you go online, your internet service

00:01:07.440 provider can see every site you're visiting. That's the problem. And if you're confused about how it

00:01:12.820 works, ExpressVPN is an app for computers and smartphones that encrypts your network data and

00:01:17.200 reroutes it through a secure server. That's the basics there. That means you can use the internet more

00:01:20.960 anonymously without having your activity tracked. And that way you're getting the privacy that you have a

00:01:25.640 right to and that you deserve when you're online. You think that VPNs are complex and only for tech

00:01:29.300 experts. That was one of the things my worries going into this is that I thought, well, this

00:01:36.400 sounds complicated, but take it from me. It's not that complicated at all. With ExpressVPN, you launch

00:01:41.180 the app and tap just one button to protect yourself and that's it. I mean, it really is that simple. I

00:01:45.240 trust ExpressVPN to protect my online data because they're rated number one by CNET and Wired and they

00:01:50.700 stand for my values. So now is the time for you to take a stand and to protect yourself. This is

00:01:57.400 just, it's, you're doing yourself a favor by doing this. Take back your privacy at ExpressVPN.com

00:02:14.000 slash Walsh right now. Joe Biden, who for the first 65 or 70 years of his life, much of it spent in public

00:02:20.580 office, show no interest in trans issues, never hinted in a belief that biological males can be

00:02:27.840 women if they feel like it, has now become, after just one day in office, the most radically pro-trans

00:02:32.620 president ever in history. This admittedly is not a difficult feat. After all, almost nobody on earth

00:02:38.280 believed that women have penises until about seven years ago. And that's when millions of leftists 0.99

00:02:43.940 decided nearly all at once that everything we know about biological science is somehow false.

00:02:47.960 Well, they've yet to explain how it's false or why they came to believe it to be false, but we're

00:02:53.220 supposed to just accept it anyway. At any rate, now we have Biden, the 78-year-old man, governing much

00:02:57.980 like a 19-year-old college student who just took her first gender studies class might. And his first

00:03:03.120 act to this end happened before he took office, actually. He named Rachel Levine, who's the current

00:03:07.780 health secretary of Pennsylvania, as his assistant health and human services secretary. The only reason

00:03:13.360 he did this is that Rachel Levine is a, quote, trans woman, i.e. a male who believes himself

00:03:17.820 to be a woman. And this is what makes the pick historic, we're told. Yet what really makes it

00:03:23.880 historic is that Levine is the first assistant health and human services secretary to be appointed

00:03:28.680 to the position, despite arguably being partly responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.

00:03:34.500 Maybe I should check my facts on that claim. Actually, it's possible that other democratic

00:03:39.220 administrations have appointed Planned Parenthood officials to that role, in which case Levine

00:03:43.040 would not be the first. So I'm not quite sure about that. Either way, the fact is that Levine,

00:03:48.640 as health secretary of Pennsylvania, was presiding when the state adopted a policy of admitting

00:03:53.860 COVID patients to nursing homes. Since then, 10,000 people have died in nursing homes and care

00:03:59.920 facilities just in that state alone. We should note that Newsweek did a fact check, a, quote,

00:04:06.080 fact check, big air quotes around that, on the claim that Levine is responsible for the deaths

00:04:11.060 of thousands of elderly in the state. Shockingly, they rated the claim false. They said it's not

00:04:16.400 true. Here's what Newsweek said. Although Levine serves as the Pennsylvania secretary of health

00:04:20.840 and was active in that position when the state's health department issued the guidance to nursing

00:04:25.420 home facilities saying they can accept patients from hospitals and patients and patients who formerly had

00:04:29.740 COVID-19, that does not prove she placed coronavirus positive patients in nursing homes or

00:04:35.380 contributed to thousands of elderly deaths in the state. Okay. So this policy was in place.

00:04:42.620 Levine was the health secretary, but there's no way to connect these dots, no way to blame him for it.

00:04:49.220 Who knows? Who can say? And the thing is, even if you put the deaths of thousands of elderly aside,

00:04:55.460 which you certainly can't, but even if you did, still you're left with the fact that Pennsylvania's

00:05:00.280 COVID death rate is on the higher end of the spectrum among states. Deaths in Pennsylvania are,

00:05:05.280 at about 152 per 100,000 people. By comparison, deaths in Florida are at 114 per 100,000.

00:05:14.200 And the media tells us that Florida has been a disaster zone, right? Ron DeSantis doing a horrible

00:05:20.000 job, they tell us. Well, if that's true, what does that say about Pennsylvania? So even after arbitrarily

00:05:26.220 absolving Levine of all the guilt for the murderous health policies in the state where he was health

00:05:31.820 secretary, you still have no reason on the merits to promote him. But of course, on the merits is the

00:05:40.060 whole rub here. This is, this is not a promotion based on the merits. This is a promotion based on

00:05:43.760 the identity or in this case, the identity confusion. Speaking of confusion, Joe Biden,

00:05:50.200 on his first day in office issued a flurry of executive orders. He essentially set out to

00:05:55.100 overturn Trump's entire tenure in one day, all through executive fiat. And he basically did.

00:06:00.420 Of course, it goes without saying that there wasn't any hand wringing from the media about this

00:06:04.640 violation of norms or the fascist dictatorial takeover, blah, blah, et cetera. Quite the opposite.

00:06:11.040 They celebrated it, obviously. One of Biden's executive orders is aimed at, quote,

00:06:16.580 preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation.

00:06:22.420 And here's what it says in part. By the authority vested in me as president of, by the constitution

00:06:27.580 and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows. Every person should

00:06:32.420 be treated with respect and dignity and should be able to live without fear, no matter who they are

00:06:37.240 or whom they love. Children should be able to learn without worrying about whether they will be

00:06:41.540 denied access to the restroom, the locker room, or school sports. Then it goes on.

00:06:46.580 To a great extent from there. But the problem here, we can just stop it right there because

00:06:50.240 the problem is, number one, no child is being denied access to the restroom, locker room,

00:06:56.220 or school sports. This is not happening. This was never happening. Boys are perfectly free to use

00:07:03.540 the boys' room and play on boys' sports. There's no denial here. Trans students also are not being

00:07:11.060 denied anything. Where was that happening? Well, trans students aren't allowed to use the bathroom. 1.00

00:07:15.780 Really? Where? The question is whether a boy who says he's trans should have access to literally 0.93

00:07:23.600 any restroom he wants or any sports team he wants, even if it means infringing on the rights of real 0.75

00:07:30.260 girls. The answer to that question from any sane person, any morally decent person is obviously no.

00:07:36.640 We don't have to think about it. It's just a matter of common sense. There's not a lot of reflection

00:07:42.500 required. If you ask a normal, sane, morally decent person, oh, what do you think? Do you think

00:07:47.300 14-year-old girls in school should be forced to share a restroom with a boy who says he's gender 1.00

00:07:52.620 confused? A normal, sane person says, of course not. Obviously not. There's no reason to allow that.

00:08:01.500 And every reason not to. But Biden has no common sense or sense of any other kind at this point,

00:08:06.940 and he is not morally decent either, despite the way he's branded. The second problem is that the

00:08:12.060 Constitution in no way vests in the president the authority to decide which sports team a kid can

00:08:18.180 play on or which locker rooms they can use. This is by no means, by no reasonable interpretation of

00:08:24.760 constitutional power granted to the president. In fact, no human anywhere has the legitimate moral

00:08:31.540 or legal authority to demand that girls share the locker room with boys. Nobody does. But this is

00:08:39.380 the authority Biden has claimed for himself. And it's so important to him personally that girls be

00:08:44.280 forced to disrobe in front of boys that he made it a day one priority. As the media has been telling us,

00:08:51.320 and maybe I'm sure they'll stop telling us now, people are dying every day in a pandemic.

00:08:55.860 And Biden is focused on ensuring that little girls have no privacy in the bathroom. That's what he's

00:09:00.440 worried about. This is not the action of a decent man, but of a deranged, amoral pervert. 0.99

00:09:08.320 Or else of a hapless, gutless coward enacting somebody else's agenda because he lacks the spine 0.99

00:09:13.880 or the brainpower to do the right thing. My guess is that it's a little bit of both. 0.98

00:09:19.560 We're told that, you know, Biden's administration is a return to normalcy. In some ways it is.

00:09:24.040 Because degeneracy and the victimization of children is normal in our culture. That's what

00:09:31.780 Biden promised. Normalcy. It's what he's delivering. There's a lot more where this came from on the way,

00:09:38.340 I'm sure. Let's get now to our five headlines.

00:09:41.300 Before we get to our five headlines, you know, one thing that is, I think that's just killing a lot

00:09:51.440 of people, uh, even people that otherwise they've got, they got their finances in order and they've

00:09:56.180 got everything figured out, but they've got higher balances on their credit cards than they should.

00:10:01.660 They got a higher interest rate and they're, you're just, you're just losing money every second

00:10:05.440 when you've got a situation like that. If you're thinking about the high interest rate credit cards

00:11:25.320 morning at 6 a.m. Uh, I went, I went outside at 6 a.m. and my, my boys were awake running through

00:11:33.080 the house at 6 a.m. playing Cowboys and Indians. Um, and which I already know, of course, cultural

00:11:39.780 appropriation, all of that. I talked to them about that. But, um, but the point is that my, my youngest

00:11:44.780 son for the four year old, he, uh, his Indian headdress was his, his pants that he had taken off and put

00:11:50.900 on his head. And so he's running pantless through the house at 6 a.m. with pay the pants on his head

00:11:56.640 playing Indian Indians. And I, I just thought, as I, as I saw this, you know, it's, it's, if I could

00:12:03.820 have even a fraction of the energy that I had as a kid, kids are full of so much energy. If we could

00:12:10.160 just maintain even a fraction of that as adults, think of all the things we could accomplish.

00:12:15.160 And this is also why, by the way, uh, it's important to have kids young. You know, you

00:12:21.320 don't want to wait until your late thirties or forties to have kids. There are a lot of reasons

00:12:24.280 for that, but this is one of them because they demand a lot of energy. You're not going to have

00:12:28.140 all the energy for them, but I cannot imagine being like 45 and having a kid who runs through

00:12:33.880 the house at 6 a.m. with his pants on his head. All right. Um, so number one, the inauguration

00:12:39.440 yesterday was, uh, was, was, and first of all, let me say this about the inauguration and,

00:12:43.520 and, and what's happened, um, with this new administration. I just want to acknowledge

00:12:47.980 this. And obviously I'm a conservative and I'm a critic of, of the new administration,

00:12:50.800 but, but, uh, when a historic moment occurs, I think we should all acknowledge it. And the

00:12:57.520 truth is that a glass ceiling was shattered yesterday when the first man with full-blown

00:13:03.780 dementia was inaugurated president. This never happened before in history. So that is, you

00:13:07.960 know, that's a, that is a glass ceiling shattering moment. And we should acknowledge that.

00:13:12.480 Uh, Biden gave a long speech. Uh, for some reason, I'll play a quick clip of it. I don't

00:13:17.780 even know why I'm doing this, but here is a quick little clip of Biden's inauguration speech. Here

00:13:23.400 we go. History, faith, and reason show the way, the way of unity. We can see each other,

00:13:32.000 not as adversaries, but as neighbors. We can treat each other with dignity and respect.

00:13:36.940 We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature for without unity. There is no peace,

00:13:46.560 only bitterness and fury, no progress, only exhausting outrage.

00:13:54.740 Yeah. You know, once again, it doesn't really mean anything. If you wait until you win

00:14:00.460 to say this, if you're only a good sport when, after you win the game, it's the sportsmanship

00:14:09.700 doesn't mean much. So your calls for unity and peace didn't hear much about that during the campaign,

00:14:14.980 especially when BLM was, was, uh, you know, he was talking about exhausting outrage.

00:14:18.680 Didn't hear much about it then. Um, and he talks about treating people with dignity. I,

00:14:24.020 I believe that 100%, but we have to keep in mind, I'm sorry that, that when, when Joe Biden or any

00:14:31.640 Democrat talks about treating people with dignity, he is, he is ruling a lot of people out of the

00:14:37.980 people category. So that's, you got to read the fine print. Anytime a Democrat says anything,

00:14:42.720 especially when they're talking about human dignity, read the fine print because there's

00:14:46.080 a little asterisk there and you got to look down at the fine print and you'll see there that,

00:14:49.720 uh, people that does not include babies who are still in the womb. So that, that, that excludes

00:14:57.240 millions of people from the people category. So we're not treating them with dignity unless I don't 1.00

00:15:03.100 know, dismembering a person and throwing them into a dumpster like abortion clinics do to millions of 0.89

00:15:09.440 children every year. Is that, are we counting that as dignity? So maybe that's where the fine print

00:15:16.400 is treating someone with dignity could include dismembering them and throwing them in a dumpster. 0.55

00:15:23.220 And is it, are we treating our, our daughters with dignity when they are, when they are begging us

00:15:29.060 and saying, no, please don't let boys into the bathroom with me. I want my privacy. I feel unsafe

00:15:34.480 with the boys here. And we say to them, shut up and deal with it. Is that treating them with dignity? 0.99

00:15:39.260 I don't know. Chris Wallace, uh, over at Fox, he listened to this inauguration speech and he said

00:15:47.140 it was the best one he's ever heard. Let's, let's listen to that. We must end this uncivil war. And

00:15:54.700 the way we can do it is if we show each other a little tolerance and humility, Martha, I thought

00:16:01.360 it was a great speech. Um, I've been listening to these inaugural addresses since 1961. John F.

00:16:07.260 Kennedy asked not, I thought this was the best inaugural address I ever heard.

00:16:13.520 Best he's ever heard. And it was okay. It was really leaving aside all the hypocrisy and everything

00:16:18.600 else. It was just sort of fine. And that's what you get. So you get from most political speeches.

00:16:25.240 I, I, I, I have, as I've, as I've said many times in the past, I've actually never, I don't think I've

00:16:29.340 ever heard a speech from a politician, um, in my life. I mean, unless we're going back through history,

00:16:35.220 I'm talking about a current politician, a speech that I've listened to live of a current

00:16:39.720 politician. I've never heard one that, that, that really was great. The, the, the, the best

00:16:45.600 they could be is great by the standards of politicians. I've never heard one that was really

00:16:51.460 memorable. What was, what was the last speech from a politician that you heard? And years

00:16:57.560 later, you know, there are lines from that speech that you still recall and still remember.

00:17:01.160 I'm not sure it's ever happened. I mean, the, the one example of that, maybe of a, of a truly,

00:17:09.220 you know, like, what is the, we think of truly memorable, uh, political speeches in our lifetime.

00:17:16.960 And to be truly memorable, you actually have to remember certain lines from it without going

00:17:20.440 back to Google. That's what memorable means. Right? So it has there been even one. And the only one

00:17:26.120 that comes to mind for me, maybe would be George Bush, his impromptu speech that he gave standing

00:17:32.400 on top of the rubble of the tower into the megaphone. You know, when he said, I hear you.

00:17:37.480 And soon the people who knocked down these towers, they're going to hear all of us. That's a line I

00:17:40.900 remember. So that might be the only memorable political speech. You could say whatever else

00:17:43.680 you want about George Bush, plenty of criticism. You could lob at him, but at least that was a good

00:17:47.940 speech in a good moment. Okay. Um, also we should also mention, uh, we didn't play the clip,

00:17:51.820 but in fairness, we should also mention that Joe Biden did denounce white supremacy. And he got a

00:17:57.240 lot of credit from that from the media too. He denounced white supremacy in his inaugural address.

00:18:01.300 So he is keeping up the tradition now that the new tradition, um, that says that presidents have

00:18:07.100 to ritualistically denounce white supremacy every 45 minutes. So he's going to keep that going,

00:18:12.720 which is great. Um, but you know, black supremacy, for example, that we get from, 1.00

00:18:17.660 from black lives matter, we're not going to get any denunciations of that. Goes without saying. 0.89

00:18:20.940 Now, um, there was a, another moment from the inauguration that a lot of people talked about.

00:18:25.500 So it was very beautiful. A poem delivered by Amanda Gorman. This is kind of a slam poetry

00:18:31.740 and everyone, no, I admit I'm a Philistine. Okay. I'm a classless Philistine dropped out of community

00:18:39.260 college. What do I know? But I listened to this poem and I didn't quite get it. I understand the,

00:18:45.020 I get what she's trying to say. I didn't see the beauty and the art in it personally,

00:18:49.860 but you, you tell me what you think. Let's listen.

00:18:52.900 And yes, we are far from polished, far from pistine, but that doesn't mean we are striving

00:18:59.720 to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose to compose a country

00:19:09.940 committed to all cultures, colors, characters, and conditions of man. And so we lift our gaze as

00:19:18.420 not to what stands between us, but what stands before us. We close the divide because we know

00:19:26.200 to put our future first. We must first put our differences aside. We lay down our arms so we can

00:19:32.720 reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all. Let the globe, if nothing

00:19:40.720 else say, this is true, that even as we grieved, we grew, that even as we hurt, we hoped that even as

00:19:50.680 we tired, we tried, that we'll forever be tied together, victorious, not because we will never

00:19:57.120 again, no defeat, but because we will never again. So division. Is that even poetry? I get that she's

00:20:08.440 saying it with a certain rhythm, I guess, but I don't, I think poetry has to have metaphor or beauty.

00:20:16.220 I just, I don't, I don't see it. I'm sorry. I don't hear it. And it's not just her, but modern,

00:20:22.800 here's the thing, modern poetry to me, much of it, uh, especially this kind of slam poetry style.

00:20:29.120 It sounds, it always sounds to me like a glorified blog post. You can just imagine this written in

00:20:34.660 someone's blog post. Uh, it's, but you, you, you say it with a certain rhythm and now all of a sudden

00:20:40.920 it's poetry. I don't mean to be a hater, but I'm sorry. What can I say? Um, number two from the

00:20:50.060 independent says Mr. Biden kicked off his presidency by issuing his much anticipated 100 day mask

00:20:55.140 challenge to the country, pairing it with an executive order to mandate mask wearing in all

00:21:00.580 federal buildings and during interstate travel, remember federal buildings. We'll get to that in a

00:21:04.440 second. Uh, Mr. Biden explained to reporters it's, it's requiring, as I said all along,

00:21:10.780 where I have authority, mandating masks, be worn, social distancing, be kept on federal property.

00:21:15.400 Um, president is also reorganizing the way the white house's institutional approach to the

00:21:18.780 coronavirus pandemic, bringing back an Obama era position within the administration entitled the

00:21:22.700 directorate for global health security and biodefense. Um, and he brought in some more people

00:21:28.580 for that, for that position as well. Um, first of all, I'll say, you know, to president Biden,

00:21:35.780 I hear your challenge, a hundred days of wearing the mask. I hear that. I hear you.

00:21:40.620 I hear what you're saying. I'm going to ignore it. Um, I'm not going to do that. I'm just going

00:21:44.980 to continue along like I was before. I understand your opinion about whether I should wear a mask.

00:21:49.380 I understand what your opinion is about what I should have on my face. It just doesn't mean

00:21:53.780 anything to me. I don't care. Um, I don't, I don't care about your opinion as the president

00:21:58.320 about what I'm wearing on my face and I don't recognize your authority to tell me. So I'm going

00:22:03.320 to continue right along doing what I was doing before, which is most of the time, not really

00:22:08.520 wearing a mask, to be honest with you. And why a hundred days? We still haven't been told that

00:22:12.720 why a hundred days. Why not 90? Why not 150? Why not 200? And we already know if we look at 15

00:22:20.520 days to slow the spread, that was nine months. Well, a hundred days do the math for that. That

00:22:24.620 turns into, I don't know, years and years and years of wearing the mask, which we are also being

00:22:29.660 told by the media. Now, uh, we're starting to see the articles come out and the headlines that,

00:22:34.300 Hey, even after you get vaccinated, you probably still should wear the mask. It's just a good,

00:22:39.220 it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a good, healthy thing to do. Why not wear it? It's that,

00:22:43.120 it's the, you know, no skin off your nose, but you're just covering your nose. What's the big deal?

00:22:48.980 It's extra skin on your nose in a certain way. But Mr. Biden, um, as he's called here,

00:22:53.700 he was, he, he says, where the mask in federal buildings. Well, later on that day,

00:23:00.120 he was in a federal building, the Lincoln Memorial. And let's take a look here and see

00:23:05.020 if he's wearing a mask. Let's watch. Hello, all the participants of tonight's event.

00:23:11.760 It's humbling to stand here in this place in front of these sacred words,

00:23:16.720 humbling out of respect to president Lincoln and the office we now share and humbling because of you,

00:23:22.940 the American people. As I said earlier today, we have learned again that democracy is precious.

00:23:29.080 He's not wearing the mask is that's the twist ending there. No mask after he just told us we

00:23:36.180 have to wear it except for him. We've learned that lesson by now. Right. This is from CBS sports.

00:23:41.620 It says the NFL announced Tuesday, it's official eight person officiating crew for Superbowl for

00:23:46.000 the upcoming Superbowl in doing so. It's, um, it marked a historic achievement for Sarah Thomas six

00:23:53.060 years after becoming the first full-time female official in league history. She's set to become

00:23:57.300 the first woman to officiate a Superbowl teaming up with 20 year, year, uh, 21 year veteran,

00:24:03.500 Carl Chaffers on this year's championship cruise. So this is, uh, another big deal. Historic.

00:24:09.340 We're going to have our first female, uh, first woman officiating the Superbowl. I don't know why

00:24:16.000 I picked this story because there's nothing I can say about it that, that won't get me in trouble.

00:24:19.160 So maybe I'll just move on. But the only thing I'll say is, uh, you know, I mean, no offense

00:24:25.580 when I say this, but I guess you may as well have women officiating NFL games at this point 1.00

00:24:30.680 because anytime there's a big hit already, the refs are like, they're like my, like, they're like my

00:24:36.180 wife. Hey, gentle, gentle boys. Be nice. No hitting. Honey, the boys are fighting again. Can you come in

00:24:42.960 here and talk to them? That's already what the refs do. So I guess you might as well, as we'll bring in 0.99

00:24:48.780 women for more of that sort of, uh, authentic maternal side. Number four, um, the first white 1.00

00:24:55.760 house press conference under the new administration happened yesterday. There was one good question

00:25:00.580 during the whole press conference. And it's a very good question. In fact, I'm very happy it was asked.

00:25:05.260 Um, I'm a little surprised that, uh, cause this is a question from a reporter for EWTN. I'm a little

00:25:09.660 surprised they got called on, but they made use of their time. Here it is. Go ahead all the way in the

00:25:14.340 back. Yeah. Hi, uh, congratulations on your new position. Uh, Owen Jensen with EWTN Global

00:25:19.520 Catholic Network, two big concerns for pro-life Americans, the Hyde Amendment, which of course,

00:25:25.520 uh, keeps taxpayer dollars, as you know, from paying for abortions, Medicaid abortions,

00:25:31.080 and the Mexico City policy, which under the previous administration, they expanded

00:25:35.500 to keep tax dollars from overseas paying for abortions. So what are president, what is President

00:25:41.160 Biden planning on doing on those two items right now? Uh, well, I think we'll have more to say on

00:25:46.820 the Mexico City policy in the coming days. Um, uh, but I will just take the opportunity to

00:25:52.480 remind all of you that he is a devout Catholic and somebody who attends church regularly. Uh,

00:25:58.860 he started his day attending church with his family this morning. Um, but I don't have anything more.

00:26:03.960 Okay. That was the strangest non sequitur. What does that have to do with anything? You were asked

00:26:13.120 about his, what he's going to do, Mexico City policy, Hyde Amendment, very specific policy

00:26:19.240 questions. That's a good question from, from that reporter for, from EWTN. And is the, the answer is,

00:26:26.440 well, he went to church, he went to church this morning. That was the answer to the question of,

00:26:30.900 are you going to force federal funding of abortion? He went to church. Now, if, if that answer means

00:26:38.440 anything, if it's indicating anything, um, it should be indicating that, well, of course not,

00:26:45.160 of course he's not going to force federal funding of abortion or force us to pay for abortions

00:26:48.860 overseas or anything like that. That's, that's, that's what it should mean. And I would appreciate

00:26:55.660 it if that's what it meant. You know, if the question was, is the president going to force

00:27:00.840 federal funding of abortion? Well, what do you mean? He goes to church. Of course not.

00:27:04.340 What do you expect? He's a Christian. He's a real Christian.

00:27:07.920 But I'm, I, I suspect that's not the implication of that answer.

00:27:14.160 The implication is, uh, yeah, he's going to, he's radically pro-abortion. We already know that

00:27:18.920 he wants federal funding. He wants to increase funding of Planned Parenthood and everything else.

00:27:23.460 Uh, but you, you can't criticize, criticize him for that as a conservative Christian because he's

00:27:29.760 a Christian too. And so because a Christian who's in a position of power supports this position, 0.61

00:27:36.240 that means Christians can support it. That means it's a valid position for Christians to hold.

00:27:41.640 That's the logic and it is deranged logic. It's not logic at all because that's absolutely not true.

00:27:47.500 And as a Catholic, you know, if you are a Catholic and you categorically reject and deny the moral

00:27:59.460 authority of the Catholic church, then you're not a Catholic. And so that's how I can say, that's how I

00:28:05.260 can, that's how I, I can sit here and actually say, Joe Biden is not a Catholic. He says he's a Catholic.

00:28:12.540 He's lying. He's not one. That is a lie. And yes, I can say that because no, I don't, I'm not peering

00:28:20.800 inside his soul. I'm not reading his mind. I don't need to. I'm listening to what he says.

00:28:27.020 And I also know that being a Catholic means something. And one of the things that it means

00:28:32.020 at a minimum is that you accept the moral authority of the church. If you don't, you don't have to,

00:28:37.680 right? Living in America, you don't have to accept the moral authority of the church.

00:28:41.600 Um, and if you don't, then okay, you're not a Catholic. You can be anything else.

00:28:47.960 But if you are a Catholic, that's what it means. Joe Biden categorically denies the moral authority

00:28:52.540 of the church because the church has always been very clear on this for 2000 years. And in fact,

00:29:00.440 it's been very clear about killing babies. It is gravely immoral. It is gravely immoral,

00:29:06.680 mortally sinful to do gravely immoral, mortally sinful to support the fund to promote.

00:29:15.120 And you, as a Catholic, you cannot say I disagree and still remain a Catholic, right?

00:29:22.280 That's, that's, that's a logical conclusion. In the same way that, um, you know, I cannot say

00:29:32.040 I'm a Mormon, but I deny that Joseph Smith was a prophet. Like, I, I, I can't say that. I can

00:29:40.360 physically say it, but in saying it, I have denounced my Mormonism if I was Mormon, which I'm not. But,

00:29:46.240 um, if you claim to be part of a religion, but you reject the basic tenets of that religion,

00:29:52.840 then you're not part of that religion.

00:29:56.920 Say, on the other end, I, I can't say, uh, I'm an atheist, but I believe in God.

00:30:03.900 Well, then you're not an atheist. It's not like you're being ruled out of atheism by some

00:30:08.620 overarching, you know, authority of atheism, but it's just, that's a lot. There's,

00:30:12.740 there's a logical contradiction here, right? So there's a logical contradiction in saying

00:30:17.000 that you're a Catholic who supports abortion. All right. Number five, the New York post has

00:30:20.600 this, a 25 year old professional video game player has been, hang on, let's start over again.

00:30:25.560 A 25 year old professional video game player. That's a thing. Has been forced to log off for

00:30:31.860 good due to a thumb injury. Thomas Paparato, who goes by the online moniker Zuma announced he was

00:30:38.240 stepping back from gaming for the foreseeable future in a statement on Twitter on Tuesday.

00:30:42.040 Uh, breaks my heart to step away from a game. I put my heart and soul into every single day for

00:30:46.060 eight years. He wrote a paparato who played with the New York subliners. One of the world's top

00:30:52.460 call of duty league, e-sports teams thanked fans for their confidence and support. I don't mean to

00:30:57.900 laugh about this. I'm sorry. He's suffered this injury, especially because that's a,

00:31:01.740 that's a hell of a gig to have play video games. So there are teams of people who play video games.

00:31:07.620 Do they, do people come and watch? I'm so incredibly out of touch. This I'm, I'm shocked

00:31:14.140 by all of this. I didn't know any of this existed or was a thing. And I, and I'm starting to regret

00:31:20.340 really all of my life choices. I wish I could go back in time, become a, become a gamer, become a

00:31:28.080 professional video game player. That is a, that is a hell of a life. But a paparato is, I guess,

00:31:33.200 hanging up the video game controls and controllers and, you know, calling it a day, retiring the

00:31:38.280 jersey. So great career. And we wish him well in his future endeavors. There are some problems that

00:31:53.360 hair. 80 million men and women in the U S experienced thinning hair, yet it's still not openly talked

00:33:26.400 entertainment game. You probably have heard us talking about this and for good reason,

00:33:29.580 Run, Hide, Fight is the movie. It's our first movie and it's getting a great reception from

00:33:35.600 the audience and from people that are becoming Daily Wire members to watch it. And you can do

00:33:40.340 that too. Become a Daily Wire member today. You can watch the movie. All you got to do is use promo

00:33:44.060 code RHF to get 25% off. That's RHF for 25% off. We've picked Run, Hide, Fight after Hollywood

00:33:51.240 Studios turned down the movie because they thought it was, quote, distasteful. In fact,

00:33:57.280 you can go to RottenTomatoes.com and you can see that it's got like 14, 15% fresh rating by Rotten

00:34:04.820 Tomatoes from critics, whereas the audience loves it. So here's just one example. A critic over at

00:34:10.060 the Armchair Auteur said, while I found this film considerably less distasteful than I imagined

00:34:15.480 that I might going in, it's still being released by some despicable people and the film's underlying

00:34:20.300 themes are gross. That said, more entertaining than one might assume. So that was a negative

00:34:24.340 review. And I take that personally. Despicable people. How dare you? But then you look down

00:34:29.840 at the audience reviews. Here's what one person said. I do not care what your politics are or how

00:34:33.800 you feel about the Daily Wire. If you have a chance to see this film, please do. It is a shame that

00:34:37.080 Hollywood said no to this film. It needs to be made because one, it addresses a subject matter that

00:34:41.220 needs to be addressed. Number two, it celebrates the heroes rather than obsessing over the villains.

00:34:45.020 And number three, if embraced correctly, it could be a rallying cry for better schools. So you see,

00:34:48.700 that's the dichotomy between audience versus the critics. We're excited to bring you this. We're

00:34:53.140 excited to bring you many great stories that Hollywood refuses to tell. You can get 25% off

00:34:57.440 when you use promo code RHF over at dailywire.com. Go there now. But first, let's get to our daily

00:35:03.260 cancellation. Today, we're going to cancel something that doesn't actually exist at the moment. This is

00:35:10.820 a preemptive measure, the cancellation equivalent of a vaccine, if you will. I'm canceling the Patriot Party.

00:35:16.640 As briefly mentioned on the show yesterday, there are reports that Donald Trump wants to start a third

00:35:21.960 party and call it the Patriot Party. We haven't heard this from Trump himself. Frankly, I'm skeptical

00:35:26.060 that Trump would actually do that. But whether Trump does it or not, the idea of a third party has

00:35:31.760 gained traction in the last couple of days with a significant number of conservatives, just based on

00:35:35.520 my own interactions, expressing enthusiasm for the idea. But they're wrong. It is a terrible idea.

00:35:42.020 Whatever you call this third party, whoever starts it, whoever's involved, it is an abysmally stupid 1.00

00:35:47.220 and self-destructive plan. And I will explain why. And hear me out. Okay. Two reasons. First, 1.00

00:35:56.040 matter of mathematics. I'm not good at math, but I can say this at least. And as I always say,

00:36:01.720 it's better to operate in reality rather than fantasy. Reality is where I like to live and make

00:36:07.000 my decisions. So in reality, the country is divided right now, ideologically, into a roughly 50-50

00:36:13.180 split. And that's probably being generous to the right. We're at most 50%, right? At most. And again,

00:36:20.080 that's the reality. I'm not saying I like it, but it doesn't matter if I like it or if you like it.

00:36:23.300 It is what it is. That means that a right-wing third party, especially one where Trump is involved,

00:36:29.160 but even if he isn't, will be pulling from only 50% of the population.

00:36:33.140 So now it's time for basic math. If the left stays together with its 50% and the right takes its 50%

00:36:42.680 and splits it up, then you tell me how the right ever wins another election again, ever until the

00:36:50.480 end of time. Really, it's not even rhetorical. Someone tell me how this works because I don't see it.

00:36:57.120 You've got 50. You need to beat the other 50. And then you subtract from your 50 and you win? How?

00:37:07.680 Now, you might say that I'm building my argument on a false premise. This assumes that a patriot

00:37:12.040 party or whatever other right-wing third party we come up with would only siphon votes from the

00:37:16.940 Republicans. What if it takes from Democrats too and mobilizes a bunch of moderates and politically

00:37:21.060 uninvolved people? Well, yes, that would certainly be a different situation entirely, but that brings us

00:37:26.140 back to the pesky real world where there simply is no platform you could possibly devise that would

00:37:32.760 be appealing to disaffected right-wing Trump supporters and significant numbers of Democrats

00:37:37.040 and moderates. That platform doesn't exist. And maybe if this was 150 years ago, it would exist or

00:37:45.000 200 years ago, it would exist. Doesn't now. And if the idea is for this to be a nationalist party,

00:37:51.180 then you certainly are not going to be getting anyone but your fellow right-wingers to join.

00:37:55.800 Just look at the poll numbers. You don't have to trust any one particular poll, but look at any poll,

00:38:01.240 any, literally any. The nationalist position on immigration, which I agree with wholeheartedly,

00:38:06.320 by the way, does not enjoy wide approval among liberals and moderates. I wish it did,

00:38:11.600 but it doesn't. That's why they're liberals and moderates. In order to be appealing to all these

00:38:17.140 groups and thus to have a chance to do something other than simply guarantee Democrat victories for

00:38:21.640 the next century, you would have to come up with a moderate platform. But that's exactly the thing

00:38:26.700 the Republican Party is already doing, and it's exactly the thing that probably pisses you off and

00:38:30.040 makes you want to leave. So you see the problem here. There is no path to victory. It doesn't exist.

00:38:37.460 I wish it did. It doesn't. Now, you might say, and this is what I've heard from a lot of people,

00:38:42.560 that the idea really is to teach the Republicans a lesson, stick it to the establishment, et cetera.

00:38:49.400 Well, okay. Are you willing to forfeit the country and the future and my children's future to achieve

00:38:56.080 that goal? You want to spit in the eye of the Republican Party by giving the left everything

00:39:00.860 it ever dreamed of? That seems a rather self-destructive path. It's a suicide bombing,

00:39:06.540 and the only person you're blowing up is yourself. By the way, the establishment Republican Party, 0.90

00:39:12.240 this is so important to understand, they would love it if all the pesky right-wing agitators left

00:39:18.900 and formed their own little party and ensured that they, the establishment, remained in office

00:39:24.040 but never had actual power. They would love that. Mitch McConnell, if you hate Mitch McConnell,

00:39:30.080 okay, he would love it if you left and did this. It would be the best thing that ever happened to him

00:39:36.160 because this is exactly the position they want to be in. They want to be in office

00:39:41.220 but not with the burden of real power and the expectations of real leadership. So in an effort

00:39:46.460 to poke the establishment in the eye, you'd be giving the establishment what it wants, namely you

00:39:52.480 gone. And you're also giving the left what it wants, namely itself in power forever. The only person who

00:40:01.020 wouldn't get what they want is you. So this plan is sounding worse by the minute. We're not even at the

00:40:07.480 end yet. Second point, the reason for starting a third party, correct me if I'm wrong, but the

00:40:13.500 reason would be that the Republican Party is run by shills, charlatans, and frauds. I agree with that 0.76

00:40:18.280 assessment, but here's my question. Why do you think the Patriot Party wouldn't be run by exactly the same

00:40:25.200 sorts of people? Shills, charlatans, and frauds we will always have with us everywhere we go, especially 0.94

00:40:31.620 in politics. Coming up with a new party and giving it a new name is in no way a protection against

00:40:36.460 this. If anything, it's a guarantee of it happening because you're creating a void that will be filled

00:40:44.620 with these kinds of people. Will be. All you have to do is look at the political landscape right now

00:40:50.260 as it currently stands. Look at the people who are critics of the GOP establishment. Some of them

00:40:56.800 are sincere and honest. Some of them are hacks and frauds, just as bad as the people they're

00:41:02.240 criticizing, in some cases worse. Look what happened to the Tea Party. Granted, the Tea Party wasn't its

00:41:08.460 own political party, but even so, it began as a real and sincere movement, but quickly, within less

00:41:13.140 than a year, it was overrun by grifters exploiting it for money, power, and fame. Then it fizzled out,

00:41:19.960 and look where it is now. Nowhere. And it is really nowhere. One of the things that mobilized the Tea 0.53

00:41:24.860 Party early on, allegedly, was the budget and spending and taxes. The Republican Party gave up

00:41:32.700 on that. The Republican Party for the last four years has been spending money hand over fist.

00:41:40.660 What happened to the Tea Party? Didn't care. As if to prove my point, I saw this morning that there is

00:41:47.720 already a, there's already a Patriot Party Twitter account. Now, it's not an official account,

00:41:52.680 obviously, because the party doesn't exist, but it has a large following and a growing following,

00:41:57.180 and all the account does is tweet out stuff like, retweet if you think Trump was awesome,

00:42:02.300 smiley face, flag emoji. And the account also sells t-shirts. So they send out these tweets of,

00:42:08.340 retweet this, here's a little bumper sticker slogan, retweet, and then they have a link to buy their

00:42:12.440 t-shirts. So here's my point. The Patriot Party doesn't exist yet, and already there are charlatans

00:42:19.460 using it successfully to enrich themselves. The Patriot Party doesn't exist yet, and already

00:42:25.300 it is essentially just a slightly more cringy version of the Republican Party, which is also

00:42:31.720 what the Tea Party became. It's what everything becomes in the end, sad to say. Even the Libertarian

00:42:37.200 Party is basically just the Republican Party, but with weed. I mean, they nominated Gary Johnson in 2016,

00:42:42.640 for God's sake. That's why the third party idea is bad. What then is a better option? Well,

00:42:50.360 I already made my case yesterday that reclaiming the culture is going to have to happen at a much

00:42:53.820 more fundamental level. You aren't going to solve our problems politically. You're not even going to

00:42:58.420 solve our political problems politically. Even if the Republican Party did everything that we wanted

00:43:04.100 it to do, most of that stuff can be undone whenever the Democrats get in power. Biden has already erased

00:43:09.520 Trump's whole presidency and all of his achievements almost, and he hasn't even completed his second

00:43:14.040 day in office yet. That's the way it works. Politics is like writing your name in the sand.

00:43:20.200 It's only a matter of time before the tide comes up and washes it away. If you want to make a lasting

00:43:24.900 difference, lasting change, achieve lasting victory, it happens locally. It happens in the family.

00:43:31.200 Essentially, conservatives need to have a bunch of kids and homeschool them. That's my plan. 0.99

00:43:34.680 Okay, that's what I propose. Have a bunch of kids, homeschool them, and anything short of that

00:43:40.060 will be like a Band-Aid at best. But as far as political Band-Aids go, given all the issues I've

00:43:45.520 raised, the better plan is for the radical right-wing extremist wing of the party, of which I am a proud

00:43:53.180 member, stay in the party, get louder, get more annoying, get pushier, grow in number, and take over

00:44:03.440 the positions of power within. I'm not saying this is a bulletproof plan by any means, but it's better

00:44:07.740 than the third-party plan, which is bulletproof only in its certainty of failure. Again, the

00:44:12.380 establishment wants you to leave. Leaving gives them what they want. So don't do that. Stay, be loud,

00:44:20.160 be demanding, be smart, vote for people who actually represent your values, not grifters, not charlatans,

00:44:25.760 not people who are spitting bumper stickers out at you, even if they also are insulting the

00:44:29.580 establishment and saying a lot of the stuff you want to hear. And in the meantime, like I said,

00:44:34.680 get married, have a bunch of kids, buy some guns, buy some books, buy some land, grow some vegetables,

00:44:38.940 turn off the TV. This is the way, this is the path. And also, don't commit political suicide with

00:44:44.680 the third party. That's an important part of the path. And anyway, the third party has been canceled.

00:44:52.660 And that's it. Glad we could settle that. That's going to do it for us today. Thanks for
