The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 645 - The Homicide Epidemic

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a massive spike in homicides all across the country

00:00:03.700 isn't getting the media attention it deserves. We'll look at the numbers and talk about why

00:00:07.320 this might be happening. Also, five headlines, including Joe Biden continuing his spree of

00:00:11.480 executive orders. His latest order seeks to end racism. Will it work? And in our daily

00:00:16.140 cancellation, we'll track the evolution in masking guidance from don't wear a mask to

00:00:21.480 wear three masks. We've come a long way. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 Perhaps you've heard that there's an epidemic sweeping through our country, affecting

00:00:38.960 especially the most populated areas. Thousands have died as a result in the last year. The

00:00:44.300 worst epidemic of its kind in American history. And I'm referring, of course, to the homicide

00:00:48.940 epidemic. You've heard plenty about the other epidemic, but probably not nearly as much or

00:00:54.100 maybe at all about this one. Yet it seems to me to be a rather, I don't know, rather big

00:00:59.600 deal. If more Americans are killing each other than ever before, that would seem like the 0.84

00:01:04.720 kind of thing we should pay attention to and talk about, try to diagnose. Indeed, it would

00:01:10.780 see, you know, I would say that this epidemic is in some ways more troubling than a viral

00:01:16.460 epidemic because the, you might say, disease causing it infects us at a much deeper level.

00:01:22.560 It's not found in the respiratory tract, but in our nature, in our soul. This makes it all

00:01:27.840 the more newsworthy, I would think. Still, not a whole lot of attention has been paid

00:01:31.900 to this report in the Wall Street Journal from Heather McDonald. Headline is taking stock

00:01:36.740 of a most violent year. McDonald writes, in part, the year 2020 likely saw the largest

00:01:42.200 percentage increase in homicides in American history. Murder was up nearly 37% in a sample

00:01:47.260 of 57 large and medium-sized cities. Based on preliminary estimates, at least 2,000 more

00:01:51.960 Americans, most of them black, were killed in 2020 than in 2019. That's what the article

00:01:56.700 says. Now, this is an op-ed, and McDonald gives her opinion on what's causing this, which

00:02:00.340 we'll talk about in a moment. But the information, the stats, as they're reported, are accurate.

00:02:04.380 And there have been articles and other mainstream outlets reporting on the rise. They really have

00:02:08.600 no choice but to at least acknowledge it. But the problem has not gotten anything like

00:02:12.340 the attention it deserves. Here's a little bit more information of the Christian Science

00:02:16.560 Monitor. This is from an article back in December. They say, to be sure, overall crime

00:02:21.200 has dropped dramatically in the U.S. since the late 1990s, but the 2020 homicide rate now exceeds

00:02:26.860 the rates of the late 80s and 90s before the big drops, as Richard Rosenfeld, lead author of

00:02:32.920 Pandemic, Social Unrest, and Crime in U.S. Cities, a new report, says, quote, this round of crime

00:02:37.600 increases unprecedented. This year, 51 cities of various sizes across the U.S. saw an average 35%

00:02:44.240 jump in murder from 2019 to 2020, a historically awful development. He says, a different study looking at

00:02:50.020 21 U.S. cities found 610 more murders in those jurisdictions this year over last year. And those

00:02:56.840 cities' gun assaults also increased by 10% over 2019. Now, this, as I say, is an extremely big deal.

00:03:02.520 Why is it happening? Well, the media seems to want to blame the pandemic because that's, I guess,

00:03:08.000 the safest place to point the finger. And they're probably right, at least to an extent. This is

00:03:14.480 something, in fact, that critics of the lockdown policies warned about early on. If you attempt to

00:03:19.540 shut down society all at once, take away millions of people's jobs, take millions of kids out of

00:03:24.820 school, and try to bring our whole civilization to a halt, there's going to be enormous prices to pay.

00:03:30.560 Some of us said that the result of this policy, this panic really, would be unrest, rioting, chaos,

00:03:37.700 violence, murder, poverty, unemployment on a scale unknown to modern America. And then what happened?

00:03:45.820 Well, exactly that. We had unrest, rioting, chaos, violence, murder, poverty, unemployment,

00:03:50.440 all at record levels. This result is horrifying, though not at all shocking to anyone who understands

00:03:55.680 human nature. You simply cannot tell 330 million people to stay in their homes for a year.

00:04:03.280 Maybe in some sort of ideal fantasy world, pandemics can be dealt with that way.

00:04:11.000 People are getting sick. You just say, oh, everyone just stay home until it stops.

00:04:16.220 Maybe in an ideal world, a plan like that is something you'd think about. But we don't live

00:04:22.360 in that world. We live in the actual world. And when you're making policies in the actual world,

00:04:26.240 you have to account for things like human nature. This is the problem with almost every policy advocated

00:04:32.540 by people on the left. They don't understand human nature or acknowledge it or account for it.

00:04:36.900 They imagine how they think a policy should work. And then they implement it with little regard for

00:04:44.860 how it will work in reality. All of that to say the critics of the lockdowns were 100% correct

00:04:52.900 in every way across the board. I don't think we've ever seen dire predictions pan out so perfectly,

00:05:00.320 so quickly or so terribly. Now, does this mean that the critics of the lockdowns are given credit

00:05:06.520 for being right? Are those who called us anti-science accusing us of trying to kill

00:05:12.820 their grandmothers? Are they lining up to apologize and say, hey, you know, you guys were right about

00:05:16.960 everything? Well, of course not. Somehow we're still anti-science, even as our point is proven

00:05:23.160 correct. Speaking of proving points, there is there's more lying behind this homicide epidemic than

00:05:28.920 the catastrophic policies ostensibly put in place to fight a viral epidemic. We've also seen this year

00:05:33.720 and in recent years leading up to it, a surge of anti-police sentiments and policies, making it

00:05:40.160 harder, if not impossible in some cases, for cops to do their jobs. Surprisingly, Vox, in their article

00:05:46.720 on the homicide spike, they actually acknowledge this as a potential cause. Though, of course, they try to

00:05:52.040 put the blame back on the police. They blame the police for being the ones to pull back. But it's good

00:05:58.620 that they acknowledge it at least. Here's what they say. In response to the 2014-2015 waves of Black 0.99

00:06:03.240 Lives Matter protests against police brutality, officers in some cities pulled back, either out

00:06:07.380 of fear that any act of aggressive policing would get them in trouble or in a counter-protest against

00:06:12.520 BLM. While protesters have challenged the crime-fighting effectiveness of police, there is a sizable body of

00:06:18.300 evidence that more and certain kinds of policing do lead to less crime. Imagine that. Given that, some

00:06:24.940 experts said that de-policing in response to protests could have led to more violence, what some in years

00:06:29.240 past called the Ferguson effect after the 2014 protests in Ferguson, Missouri, over the police

00:06:34.140 shooting of Michael Brown, and also seen in Baltimore after the 2015 killing of Freddie Gray. Now, it's good 1.00

00:06:38.840 at least that they admit that there's a connection between de-policing and increased crime, which means

00:06:44.160 defund the police. If we do that on a nationwide scale, eventually we're going to be looking back on

00:06:49.900 2020 wistfully as a peaceful time, a near utopic time, when really we had the homicide problem under

00:06:57.740 control by comparison. But you can't blame, you can't blame the police for being the ones to pull

00:07:03.260 back because, number one, oftentimes these are policies forcing them. They're being forced to by

00:07:10.040 the higher-ups, by the people who are running, who are always Democrats, by the way, who are running

00:07:14.900 these cities. And on top of that, if you're a police officer and you know that if your life is

00:07:24.960 in jeopardy and you have to make a choice to save your life, you can go to jail for the rest of your

00:07:29.860 life for doing it. Yeah, I think that is going very reasonably. It's going to make you pull back a

00:07:34.480 little bit. Cops are in a position now where, you know, they're, of course, it's all, it's all on a

00:07:39.980 racial basis. If they're dealing with a white suspect, then this, this pressure isn't there

00:07:44.780 because the media doesn't care when white suspects die, even if they die unjustly. But if you're dealing

00:07:49.580 with a black suspect, especially if you're a white cop, although even if you're not really, 0.98

00:07:53.960 and you get to a point where you feel like he's trying to possibly kill you, it's an ultimate 0.97

00:08:00.460 lose-lose situation. No matter what you do in response, you lose. It is at that point.

00:08:05.860 If you're in a situation like that, the cops were in in Atlanta with Rayshard Brooks,

00:08:12.740 for example, stole the taser, was using it against them. You're in a position now, you lose,

00:08:17.700 whatever you do, you lose. You don't fight back, you can be killed. You do fight back, 0.95

00:08:21.420 you go to jail. Yeah, that's going to have an effect. What this all adds up to is a perfect storm,

00:08:27.780 right? Lock everyone down, take away jobs, take away school, take away police,

00:08:34.500 villainize the police. While you're at it, romanticize rioting, excuse violent crime as

00:08:42.040 nothing but hungry people trying to get bread, in AOC's words. And with all that together,

00:08:48.160 you're going to get exactly what we got. Some of us saw it coming and said so. Many others saw it

00:08:56.660 coming and did not say so because they were afraid. And still many more were too deluded by

00:09:00.660 their ideology to see anything at all. So looking back on this and looking forward to what could be

00:09:07.020 ahead, those of us in the first group who saw it coming and said so, we take no pleasure in saying,

00:09:13.180 we told you so. But we did. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:09:26.280 Quick, quick little fitness tip for you, a little bit of fitness inspiration. I like to inspire you.

00:09:30.900 I don't know if you knew this on the show. I consider myself a motivational, inspirational

00:09:34.100 speaker in many ways. So yesterday I was coming home from the gym, stopped at the gym on the way

00:09:38.400 from home from work. And, um, you know, I've been going to the gym pretty regularly feeling good

00:09:42.520 about that. But the problem is that my diet isn't great. I just, I eat crap all the time. Just a lot

00:09:47.360 of junk food. That's, that's the truth. And they say you can't outrun a bad diet. You know, you can't

00:09:52.000 work out enough to compensate for the bad diet. You're always going to be like a net. It's always

00:09:55.520 going to be a net negative, um, in the end. So on my way home, I was thinking about this and I

00:10:00.020 realizing if I only had a good diet, I'd be doing well. If it was just for the diet part. And I

00:10:05.780 resolved in that moment, I had this like moment in the car driving home and I resolved, I said,

00:10:09.920 I'm going to start eating healthy from this moment on. It's going to happen. Not eating junk food.

00:10:16.640 I'm not going to, I'm going to, whatever you're going to cut back on carbs, all that stuff.

00:10:22.260 And I was resolved to do it. I felt, I just was, I felt so motivated. And then I walked in my home

00:10:28.340 and the first thing my wife said to me was, Hey, we made brownies. And so I ate half the pan.

00:10:36.760 Immediately. And that's when I realized I had a second epiphany. And I realized as I was eating

00:10:43.480 my third brownie, I realized, you know, you can't outrun a bad diet. That's true, but you can go for

00:10:49.420 the tie. And, uh, you know, that's bad. I think that's good enough, right? Just kind of maintaining

00:10:56.020 where you're at. That's what I'm going for. All right. Number one, Joe Biden, um, continued signing

00:11:02.760 executive orders yesterday. He's signed. I think, what is it? I think he's up to 5,000 executive

00:11:06.380 orders so far. Just, he wakes up in the morning and whatever thought he happens to think that day,

00:11:12.680 he'll convert it into a executive order. I think he'll be signing an executive order today to declare

00:11:17.360 that chipmunks are the cutest forest animals. Anything at all, any thought he happens to think

00:11:22.660 let's make it into an executive order. Uh, but remember of course, Trump was the, the, the dictator

00:11:28.600 the fascist, um, Biden will beat Trump's executive order total in like a few months. That's, that's, 0.59

00:11:39.180 that's the rate he's on now. Um, and so on that end yesterday, he signed, he signed a racial equity

00:11:46.300 executive order. And of course he tied it to George Floyd. Here he is explaining why he's

00:11:52.280 signing the order. But what many Americans didn't see or had simply refused to see couldn't be ignored

00:11:59.040 any longer. Those, uh, eight minutes and 46 seconds that took George Floyd's life opened the eyes of

00:12:07.920 millions of Americans and millions of people around all over the world. It was the knee on the neck of 0.91

00:12:14.140 justice and it wouldn't be forgotten. It stirred the conscious and of tens of millions of Americans.

00:12:22.280 And in my view, it marked a turning point in this country's attitude toward racial justice.

00:12:28.980 Yeah. Eyeopening moment. I, you know, I thought it was pretty eyeopening when we got the toxicology

00:12:33.580 report back and, uh, we were told that he had lethal levels of fentanyl in a system. I thought

00:12:39.740 that was pretty eyeopening too. Um, that, that, that, that to me was pretty enlightening as well.

00:12:45.480 Now, Joe Biden also, uh, we, we talked last week about the 1776 commission, uh, that president Trump

00:12:54.200 formed and they released their report, which we, we went through a little bit of it, uh, worth reading,

00:12:59.620 except that you can't read it because one of the first things that Biden did when he took office is

00:13:03.500 he deleted it. He took it down. And, uh, now he announced part of this, part of this racial equity

00:13:08.660 plan is to do away with the 1776 commission. Here he is explaining that. Look in the weeks ahead,

00:13:15.000 I'll be, uh, reaffirming the federal government's commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion

00:13:20.120 and accessibility, building on the work we started in the Obama Biden administration.

00:13:26.260 That's why I'm rescinding the previous administration's harmful ban on diversity

00:13:31.460 and sensitivity training and abolish the offensive counterfactual 1776 commission unity and healing

00:13:40.560 must begin with understanding and truth, not ignorance and lies. Today, I'm also issuing an

00:13:48.760 executive order and that will ultimately end the justice department's use of private prisoners,

00:13:53.920 private prisons, an industry that houses pre-tiled trainees and detainees and federal prisoners.

00:14:02.340 The executive order directs the attorney general to decline to renew contracts with privately operated

00:14:07.360 criminal facilities, a step we started to take at the end of the Obama administration

00:14:12.260 and was reversed under the previous administration. Yeah. So he talks about their abolishing the, uh,

00:14:19.320 the 1776 commission, you know, and he, he also says, he also says it's, it's count counterfactual

00:14:26.160 is the 1776. What part of it is counterfactual? The, the, the, the report lays out basic facts of

00:14:34.880 American history. And as soon as it was released, we were told by the media and the left that, oh,

00:14:39.760 it's a, it's an assault on truth and on, this is not history at all. What part of it isn't history?

00:14:47.060 You know, they, they never explained that, did they? They never told us exactly what part of it is

00:14:52.340 false. Of course, the, the only part that they really, the primary part that they disagree with

00:14:58.600 is just the point that the 1776 commission made, which is that slavery, awful, evil thing. Nobody

00:15:07.660 didn't, literally nobody, at least nobody in the West denies it. Um, some parts of the world where

00:15:12.240 they still have slavery, maybe they do deny it, but certainly in the West, nobody denies that, 0.98

00:15:15.580 but it's also not a crime or a sin, uh, unique to Western society. The white man didn't invent

00:15:24.780 slavery. That does matter. You know, that matters because when we're going back and we're looking at

00:15:31.480 our, um, the heroes of our history, we have to understand them within context. And if there's a

00:15:40.000 certain evil thing that someone in history, uh, took part in, or at least did not object to,

00:15:49.040 and then you, and then you, and then you take, and then you take a step back and you take a wider

00:15:52.320 view of it and you see that pretty much everyone in history up until that point also was not objecting

00:15:58.700 to it, then yeah, that, that matters not, I don't know how many times I have to explain this. That

00:16:03.900 matters not in judging the objective, um, morality of the act itself. Now we know that slavery is a

00:16:11.100 horrible evil, always has been, always will be. And you can make statements like that when you

00:16:15.920 believe in objective morality. The, the irony here is that the left, they're moral relativists. So they

00:16:21.760 have even less standing to judge anyone to what 200 years ago who practiced slavery or believed in

00:16:27.800 it. Cause according to them, morality is relative. And 200 years ago, 250 years ago, 300 years ago,

00:16:32.860 all throughout history, the, the, the relative morality of that time was that slavery was okay.

00:16:38.560 And if you're a moral relativist, you have no basis upon which to criticize that. Now,

00:16:42.960 if you believe in objective morality, as I do, then I can say 250 years ago, if you practice slavery or,

00:16:48.820 or, uh, or even failed to protest against it, then that is an evil act. But when judging the moral

00:16:58.020 culpability of any individual who engaged in it, that's when you have to take into account context,

00:17:05.960 the context of the time, um, and that's the difference. But again, as a moral relativist,

00:17:13.660 that is just the, the incredible irony here. It's the moral relativists who are the ones going back

00:17:20.340 through history and holding, you know, our historical figures to the standards of today. 0.99

00:17:28.620 I think that's stupid to do on any philosophical grounds. You especially can't do it as a relativist. 0.97

00:17:34.740 Makes no sense. All right. One other clip I wanted to play because he, because, uh, Biden has one other

00:17:40.860 thing to say here that I thought was, was, was interesting, but not for the reason he intended.

00:17:44.720 Let's take a listen. We've never fully lived up to the founding principles of this nation to state

00:17:49.160 the obvious, that all people are created equal and have a right to be treated equally throughout

00:17:53.860 their lives. And it's time to act now, not only because it's the right thing to do, but because if

00:18:00.880 we do, we'll all be better off for it. For too long, we've allowed a narrow, cramped view of the

00:18:08.560 promise of this nation to fester. You know, we've, uh, we've bought the view that America is a zero

00:18:15.780 sum game in many cases. If you succeed, I fail. If you get ahead, I fall behind. If you get the job,

00:18:24.580 I lose mine. Maybe worst of all, if I hold you down, I lift myself up. Yeah, I actually agree with him

00:18:32.800 there. I agree with what he just said. Um, but I don't think he understands what he's saying.

00:18:39.160 And I think that's a problem. It's only going to get worse as time goes on, but he's saying we've,

00:18:43.040 we've bought this incorrect view that America is a, is a zero sum game. And you know, if I succeed,

00:18:47.940 it means you fail. You're right. That is, that is an incorrect view. It is a view that a lot of

00:18:53.900 people have bought into. It is wrong. We do need to push back against it, but that's the view that

00:18:59.600 is being propagated by your side, dude. That's, that's you. That's you and your side. That's what

00:19:03.820 you're saying. We here over here as conservatives, we, but we have been the ones saying what you just

00:19:09.360 said. That's not the way it works. That's why you don't have to look with resentment on someone

00:19:14.540 who's wealthy and successful just because someone's wealthy and successful. It doesn't mean they're

00:19:17.700 taking something away from you. You don't have to take from, from someone in order for other people

00:19:23.700 to be successful. If you want to help the less successful be more successful, it doesn't mean you have to

00:19:27.380 take away from the ones who are successful because it's not a zero sum game. That is an incorrect

00:19:33.140 view. But again, Biden, it's your view, not ours. All right. Number two, I wanted to read this to you

00:19:41.840 just as a really perfect example of fake news. I saw someone, someone shared this. This is from a,

00:19:46.420 it's from a recent article in Washington post actually from a couple of weeks ago, but I saw this

00:19:50.580 being shared. So it's an article in Washington post about, um, about Biden's transgender policies,

00:19:58.580 right? And listen, this is one paragraph in the article. Listen, listen to the framing of this

00:20:03.480 paragraph. Transgender rights have become a lightning rod in the relentless culture war that has come to 0.87

00:20:08.800 dominate American politics, pitting conservative Christians who want their religious views to be

00:20:13.880 accommodated against liberal and secular Americans who think some of those views trample on minority

00:20:20.060 groups is rights. You see that? See, this is fake news. This is how fake news works. It is, it is not

00:20:28.980 usually a matter of inventing a story out of whole cloth. And sometimes fake news does that too. Most of

00:20:35.140 the time though, and it's the most insidious and damaging form. It's this, it is in taking something

00:20:41.520 and framing it in a certain way. And so the framing here, what do they say? Conservative Christians who want

00:20:48.680 their religious views to be accommodated. So now look, look at what they've done here. Uh, it's,

00:20:53.300 it's almost brilliant. Um, they've taken an issue of a small minority of biological men who want access

00:21:00.160 to female locker rooms. Uh, but now if you object to that and you simply want things to continue as 0.95

00:21:11.580 they always have been forever, which is that you've got men and women locker rooms and bathrooms, 0.79

00:21:16.260 and we just stick with that, then now you are the one asking to be accommodated. It's not the handful,

00:21:21.640 the smattering of biological men who want to go into the, to the women's bathroom. They're not the 0.71

00:21:25.780 ones asking to be accommodated. No, you're asking to be accommodated when you say, no, I don't want that.

00:21:30.900 So by objecting to the accommodations that this minority is asking for, you in effect now are the 0.99

00:21:41.620 one asking for an accommodation. Brilliant, devious, but brilliant because maybe not so brilliant,

00:21:49.800 but if people fall for it anyway, I don't know if the framing is brilliant or people are just stupid 0.99

00:21:53.800 or if it's one or the other, but it works. Number three from the blaze, a woman who criticized white 1.00

00:21:59.480 privilege on social media was charged with the child abuse murder of her three-year-old foster child

00:22:04.300 who was white. The disturbing story unfolded in Simpsonville, South Carolina. Police alleged that

00:22:09.260 Ariel Robinson, 29, and her husband, Jerry Robinson, 34, inflicted a series of blunt force injuries on

00:22:14.880 their adopted child, Victoria Rose Smith. The parents called 911 on January 15th to report that the child

00:22:21.840 was unresponsive. When medical professionals arrived, they immediately suspected child abuse,

00:22:25.920 according to the heavily redacted police report. Um, the, uh, and, and I read the police report,

00:22:31.940 by the way, we talk about it's heavily redacted as an understatement. Almost every single word is

00:22:37.100 blocked out except for a few. So there's a whole lot in that police report that they don't want the

00:22:42.240 public to see. Why is that? Well, we don't know. That's why it's redacted, but it does raise

00:22:46.660 certainly a lot of questions. Uh, as Ariel Robinson, she was also on a food network show called

00:22:52.700 Worst Cooks in America. And she won that show apparently. Um, but the most relevant fact

00:23:01.020 about her, about her background anyway, possibly is, um, that she would frequently post on social

00:23:08.820 media decrying things like white privilege. So she, she posted very recently. This was on January 6th.

00:23:16.700 The murder happened on, um, January 11th, I believe. So less than a week before she says

00:23:24.500 in my house, my black children get treated the same as my white children. And my white children

00:23:28.660 get treated the same as my black children. It's a shame that when they go out into the real world,

00:23:32.640 uh, that won't be the case. Adding hashtags for white privilege and black lives matter. 0.81

00:23:38.020 So this is a black woman who complained about white privilege and, you know, advocated for black 0.97

00:23:49.460 lives matter shortly before allegedly beating her white adoptive daughter to death. 1.00

00:23:59.100 I, I, it, it goes without saying now at this point, but I'm going to say it anyway,

00:24:03.140 because all I do is point, point out the obvious anymore, but someone has to do it reverse the

00:24:08.480 races on this story. And this is headline news everywhere. I mean, can you imagine a case where

00:24:18.120 a white adoptive mother of a black child, let's say criticized the BLM and then shortly after that 0.97

00:24:27.920 beat her black child to death. If that were to happen, that would be news everywhere. 0.93

00:24:32.420 Headline news everywhere. And we'd be linking it to systemic racism and all this kind of stuff.

00:24:38.900 This happens and not a lot of attention at all. The story only gets worse. Um,

00:24:45.560 cause you start asking a question, you know, how did this woman 0.97

00:24:48.940 manage to adopt a child? Like how, how could they not? I know you can't read someone's mind and

00:24:55.240 there's only so much you can do when someone's coming in to adopt a child. There's only so much

00:24:58.420 you can do to screen out the, uh, the, the, the psychopaths, but did they, could they really

00:25:04.280 not tell if she is indeed guilty of doing this? The kind of woman who would beat a child to death? 1.00

00:25:09.900 You, you, you, you can't tell that there were, there were no red flags. It's harder to believe

00:25:16.860 that there are no red flags. When you consider, we'll play this video for you. This, um, this was,

00:25:21.580 I think first found by TMZ and they posted it online. This is from a couple of years ago,

00:25:26.700 I believe here is Ariel Robinson performing a quote unquote standup act where she jokes about

00:25:32.620 abusing her children and locking them in a cage. Listen. 1.00

00:25:36.640 So we're trying to adopt a baby girl and the social worker, you know, they have to come

00:25:40.680 over and, you know, see that you're not too crazy to adopt. And so the hallway, she's coming

00:25:45.520 over, I'm thinking, I'm telling my husband, I said, you know what? We should have locked

00:25:48.260 the other two up in cages because if she meet them two, ain't no way they're going to give 1.00

00:25:52.400 us enough. She gets there, it's too late. They upstairs, hollering, screaming. Where

00:25:57.440 the mom's at? Where the mom's at? Okay. Yep. Y'all don't like y'all kids either. So they

00:26:04.440 upstairs, hollering and screaming going on. You know, you get to that mommy level and you

00:26:08.240 like, you ain't had it. So I'm getting this woman is in my face. So I turn around, we'll 1.00

00:26:12.200 yell upstairs, shut up, I come over there and punch you in your throat. Turn back around and 1.00

00:26:20.200 she's looking at me to say, what y'all do? It's a game. We got approved. We don't have

00:26:32.540 her by December. Yeah. 0.80

00:26:34.920 Hey, listen to those cackling hyenas in the audience. Isn't that hilarious? She's talking 1.00

00:26:40.060 about abusing her children. And, and according to that story, I don't know, it might've been

00:26:45.500 a little hard to hear what she was saying because of the audio quality there. But according

00:26:48.500 to the story that she tells in this quote unquote comedy act, she says that she threatened 0.99

00:26:53.420 to punch her children in the throat, screamed it at them in front of an official from the 0.92

00:26:58.840 adoption agency. Now, did she make this story up? We don't know, but either way here she 0.97

00:27:05.060 out, she is in public joking about abusing her children. So she's the kind of woman who 1.00

00:27:09.200 publicly jokes about abusing her children and then allegedly actually beat her child to

00:27:13.640 death shortly after adopting the girl. She was adopted a year or two earlier. And there

00:27:22.920 were no red flags at all. You couldn't see that anything was amiss. Really? There are

00:27:30.360 a lot of questions here. There are a lot of questions we should be asking. Was this a racially

00:27:35.740 motivated hate crime against, against her own adopted daughter? That's a fair question. 0.76

00:27:39.860 And again, if you reverse the races, it will be a question everyone would ask. And so

00:27:43.460 I'm going to ask that question. We deserve to know. Why did they redact the police report

00:27:48.060 so heavily? Was there an indication of that? I don't know. And how is it that a woman, and 0.97

00:27:55.440 you take the race out of it, how is it that a woman like that was able to adopt a child? 1.00

00:28:02.820 I mean, serious accountability, but the problem is there needs to be accountability. There probably

00:28:06.440 won't be because the media is not going to touch the story with a 10 foot pole. At least

00:28:09.480 they're not going to touch the racial aspects of it, certainly. And you know, that story

00:28:16.580 she told, did that actually happen where there was some sort of official there and witnessed

00:28:22.720 that? Because if it did, then that official who witnessed it should go to jail too. And as

00:28:29.360 far as this woman, if she's guilty, this is why I'm at a point now where you couldn't possibly,

00:28:36.180 even though in the past I've been against the death penalty, I'm at a point now because of

00:28:40.000 things like this, you couldn't possibly convince me to go back to those days. This is what we need

00:28:44.840 the death penalty for, are people like this. You beat a child to death. We just, we don't need you 1.00

00:28:50.060 on earth. We don't need you on earth. We need you gone from the earth as quickly as possible.

00:28:54.560 All right. Number five. Um, actually I think it's number four, but I'm skipping ahead, I guess,

00:29:00.420 uh, from the Hill. It says it may be a man's world in Hollywood, but Keira Knightley will no 0.99

00:29:08.260 longer perform sex scenes under a male director. So she's getting a lot of, she's getting a lot of

00:29:12.200 credit. She's getting praised for this. While the actor has done nude and sex scenes in the past,

00:29:16.680 she now has a no nudity clause in her contract that only someone has to do with how her body has 1.00

00:29:21.280 changed after having two children. She says it's partly vanity, but also the male gaze.

00:29:27.260 So she says she doesn't want, uh, she's, she's not interested in the male gaze anymore. And so she

00:29:31.840 said, she's not going to do nude scenes with a male director. She'll still do them. So she's getting, 0.99

00:29:37.260 she's getting credit for this as a great feminist statement. She'll still do them. It's just that she 0.91

00:29:41.480 won't do it with a male director because she's worried about the male gaze. You do have to ask,

00:29:46.760 uh, what about the male gaze of the people in the audience? Uh, what about crew members, producers?

00:29:56.280 Just more, more absolutely hollow, um, me too-esque virtue signaling from feminists in Hollywood. 1.00

00:30:05.740 What else is new? You know, there, there are few feelings, um, more uncomfortable than when you're

00:30:12.380 stuck in a car and you're starting to feel carsick. I had this experience. In fact,

00:30:16.380 just this past week, I was coming home from the airport. Uh, I was in, I was in the Uber and,

00:30:21.280 uh, I just started that, that wave because I get really bad car sickness. That wave of nausea

00:30:25.000 started to, started to, uh, I can started, started to feel it and then it gets really intense and you

00:30:30.020 don't want to tell the Uber driver to pull over so you can vomit on the side of the highway. Uh,

00:30:34.180 nor do you want to vomit inside the car either because that's generally frowned upon. So you just

00:30:37.560 suffer through it. And the thing is I didn't have with me my mistake at the time, my relief band.

00:30:43.140 Usually I have it with me and that's why you need to make sure you get relief band and always have

00:30:47.440 it with you. If you're going to be in a car or traveling or if you're prone to nausea for any

00:30:51.680 other reason, relief band is the number one FDA cleared anti-nausea wristband. That's been

00:30:56.200 clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion

00:31:00.460 sickness, anxiety, migraine, hangover, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and such, so much more.

00:31:05.140 The product is a hundred percent drug-free non-drowsy provides all natural relief with zero side

00:31:09.980 effects for as long as needed. They do sell pills. You know, you can get that they're supposed to

00:31:14.060 deal with, with nausea from motion sickness, but those are going to make you drowsy. And a lot of

00:31:18.160 times you, you know, you can't afford to take something that's going to put you to sleep in

00:31:20.540 the middle of the day. Relief band is the only over-the-counter wearable device that's been used

00:31:25.120 in hospitals and oncology clinics to treat nausea and vomiting. So, you know, it works. They, you know,

00:31:28.840 the, the, the people, they use it in hospitals. You know, it's got to work this new year. Ensure that

00:32:58.640 Let us for a moment, follow the science. In fact, let's follow the science back all the way back to

00:33:07.820 ancient times, the days of old, the days of yore, March of 2020. Back then we were told that

00:33:14.060 we were anti-scientific morons. If we wear a mask out in public, the, uh, surgeon general screamed at 0.99

00:33:20.740 us back in, I think it was February. He said in all caps, stop buying masks and said explicitly that

00:33:27.620 masks are quote, not effective in preventing and the general public from catching the coronavirus.

00:33:33.080 The beloved Dr. Fauci had a similar message at the time. This is what he said back in March. Let's

00:33:38.200 listen. There's a lot of confusion among people and misinformation surrounding face masks. Can you

00:33:44.740 discuss that? The masks are important for someone who's infected to prevent them from infecting someone

00:33:51.900 else? Now, when you see people and look at the films in China and South Korea, whatever,

00:33:57.420 everybody's wearing a mask. Right now in the United States, people should not be walking around with

00:34:03.820 masks. You're sure of it because people are listening really closely to this. Right now,

00:34:08.920 people should not be, there's no reason to be walking around with a mask. When you're in the middle

00:34:14.200 of an outbreak, wearing a mask might make people feel a little bit better and it might even block

00:34:21.020 a droplet, but it's not providing the perfect protection that people think that it is. And

00:34:27.860 often there are unintended consequences. People keep fiddling with the mask and they keep touching

00:34:33.600 their face. And can you get some schmutz sort of staying inside there? Of course, of course. 1.00

00:34:39.040 Huh. But, you know, when one follows the science, one will be taken down a twisty, windy road.

00:34:46.520 Soon after these, soon after these public officials told us not to wear masks, they were

00:34:51.680 telling us not only that actually we should wear masks, but that not wearing masks, that is believing

00:34:55.920 what they said 12 seconds ago, as opposed to what they're saying now, makes us anti-science.

00:35:01.120 It was anti-science to wear a mask in March. In May, it was anti-science not to wear a mask.

00:35:07.080 And now we're rapidly approaching a point where it's anti-science to only wear one mask rather

00:35:12.220 than two. Here's what Fauci is saying about that today.

00:35:16.220 A lot of folks are hearing now about double masking, wearing two masks or trying to get

00:35:22.580 one of those N95 medical grade masks. Do you believe that that's advisable and makes a difference?

00:35:28.080 You know, it likely does, because, I mean, this is a physical covering to prevent droplets

00:35:37.580 and virus to get in. So if you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer

00:35:43.580 on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective. And that's the reason

00:35:48.120 why you see people either double masking or doing a version of an N95.

00:35:52.940 Huh. So it was common sense that we shouldn't wear a mask before. Now it's common sense to

00:36:01.320 wear two. And now we're in sort of an arms race from no mask to one mask, two masks. A

00:36:07.160 pattern seems to be emerging. And the real scientific visionaries are trying to stay one step ahead

00:36:12.400 of the game. That's why a segment on CNBC this week upped the ante even further. Listen to this.

00:36:17.420 The experts keep telling us that wearing masks is really about protecting ourselves, protecting

00:36:23.480 others from ourselves in the event that we are contagious. But you know, if other people aren't

00:36:27.800 wearing their masks or they're wearing them improperly, we need to protect ourselves. So

00:36:32.520 experts say you can double up with a tight weave fabric mask for added protection. Now, Virginia

00:36:39.740 tech researchers found that doubling up these cloth masks increases the efficacy from 50 to 75%.

00:36:46.300 A three layer mask could block up to 90% of the particles.

00:36:52.780 Yes, three masks. So from don't wear masks to wear three masks in less than a year.

00:36:58.900 Now, a number of questions may arise in your mind. You may think, wait a second, medical masks have

00:37:05.000 been around for centuries. There isn't much we know about masks now today that we didn't know 10 months

00:37:09.200 ago. Sure, this particular type of coronavirus might be novel, but the basic science behind masking is not

00:37:15.000 novel. Something isn't right here, you might think. You might continue by thinking, it almost seems as

00:37:20.460 though the public messaging on masks has little to do with science and has had little to do with

00:37:25.980 science in the beginning, you might think. And you might even continue to think, in addition,

00:37:30.980 I mean, whether masks are effective or not, isn't there very good evidence here that our public

00:37:35.240 officials were either lying to us in March or are lying now? And when you consider that the change in

00:37:40.460 the mask recommendations happen in the span of a month from March to April, not 10 months,

00:37:45.160 does that make it all the more suspicious? Again, you might think, you don't have to be

00:37:49.680 anti-mask to be disturbed by this. In fact, if you're pro-mask and you believe what you're being

00:37:53.820 told now, then doesn't that mean that officials like Fauci are responsible for the deaths of thousands

00:37:58.400 of people for telling people not to wear them early on precisely when there was the best chance for

00:38:02.340 containing the virus? If Fauci thought that masks were effective and said otherwise,

00:38:06.240 no matter his reason, is that not a major scandal and by the pro-mask way of thinking, perhaps one

00:38:12.920 of the most lethal lies ever told by our government? You might think all of this if you hate science.

00:38:20.660 But those of us who are respecters of science, believers of science, lovers of science, in love

00:38:26.500 with science, those of us who love science so much that we're practically romantically involved with it,

00:38:31.320 we know that science means not asking questions. There is no room for skepticism in science.

00:38:39.920 I mean, do you hear the word skepticism in science? I don't. They don't call it psi-skeptimism-ists,

00:38:46.760 do they? It's science. Science is all about dogmatically accepting the prevailing notions of

00:38:52.420 the day, even if those notions seem to change every 30 minutes. That is what science is all about.

00:38:58.840 If you really believe in science, you will just keep putting stuff on your face whenever you're

00:39:04.280 told to do so. Personally, the equation that I've worked out scientifically is that every mask you

00:39:09.620 wear represents 10% love for your fellow man. Okay, now it gets very complicated, but follow with me

00:39:16.460 here. If you wear no mask, you have no love. One mask means you have only 10% love. Three masks makes

00:39:23.900 a mere 30%, better than zero, better than 10. Not as good as it could be. That's why I wear 11 masks,

00:39:30.120 because I always give 110%. And this means that my love is perfect and pure, better than perfect and

00:39:36.140 pure. I have 10 masks worth of love. I look with pity on you one in two maskers. Pathetic. You will never 0.83

00:39:47.160 respect science the way that I do, or care for humanity the way that I do. I even wear masks

00:39:52.320 around my ears to make sure that no virus enters or escapes through those passageways. I wear a mask

00:39:56.980 over my eyes so that no one's infected when, you know, my love for science and humanity moves me to

00:40:02.800 tears, as it so often does. Only problem is that I can't see anything and I've already been hit by cars

00:40:08.320 three times. But this is a price worth paying for science, for the world, for you. And so anyone who

00:40:19.140 does not follow the science and continue putting layers of masks on until they cannot speak or breathe

00:40:23.560 is canceled. And we'll end it there on a little bit of a science lesson.

00:40:30.000 I hope you learned something. Have a great day. Godspeed.
