The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 693 - The System Hates You

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, megacorporations are now condemning and boycotting the state of

00:00:04.460 Georgia as punishment for a law that protects the integrity and safety of elections in that state.

00:00:08.760 This is just the latest example of the wealthiest and most powerful institutions acting on the left's

00:00:13.140 behalf, even as leftists pretend to be the counterculture resistance. We'll talk about

00:00:17.480 that. Also, five headlines, including an attack on Capitol Police officers that is already being

00:00:21.880 memory-holded for obvious reasons. Arkansas moves to ban the general mutilation of children,

00:00:27.120 and a pastor in Canada shows us how to deal with agents of the state who infringe on our rights.

00:00:32.120 And finally, in our daily cancellation, speaking of agents of the states infringing on our rights,

00:00:36.660 the CDC has given me yet another example or another reason to cancel them. So we'll do that,

00:00:41.600 talk about all that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:50.940 This is something we'll be talking about today plenty, so it's good that it comes up now.

00:00:55.320 You know, Charity Mobile. I've been telling you about them for months now, and they're one of

00:01:00.760 my favorite sponsors on the show. They're the pro-life phone company. They are a company,

00:01:04.000 a corporation, that is actually on our side in the culture. And when we have companies like that,

00:01:08.420 it's not only about not supporting the companies that hate us. It's also about supporting the

00:01:12.500 companies that are on our side. Charity Mobile is one of those. 5% of your monthly plan price goes to

00:01:16.460 the pro-life, pro-family charity of your choice. Now, we know the right to life is the key that unlocks

00:01:20.900 other rights. Now, through April 16th, if you take advantage of this and you become a customer

00:01:27.180 of Charity Mobile, new activations get a free cell phone after instant credit plus free activation,

00:01:32.240 free shipping, and a free pro-life keychain. You get all of that. There's no contracts,

00:01:37.540 no termination fees, and no risk with a 30-day guarantee. What that means is you might as well

00:01:41.600 try it out. You might as well become a customer. If you don't like it, I think you will, but if you

00:01:44.820 don't, you're not locked in. They've got live customer service also based right here in the USA,

00:01:49.020 which is really important too, getting those USA jobs on top of it. So if you want to become

00:01:53.500 a Charity Mobile customer like I am, call them at 1-877-474-3662, or you can chat with them

00:01:59.900 online at charitymobile.com. It was announced late last week that Major League Baseball would be

00:02:06.660 moving the All-Star game and the draft out of Atlanta in protest of Georgia's new law meant to

00:02:12.520 ensure safe and free elections in the state. The league commissioner explained the move saying,

00:02:17.440 quote, I've decided that the best way to demonstrate our values as a sport is by relocating

00:02:22.780 this year's All-Star game and MLB draft. Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights

00:02:28.100 for all Americans and opposes restrictions to the ballot box. Now, this move will cost Georgia

00:02:33.560 $100 million. When I say cost Georgia $100 million, I mean cost its people, the citizens, $100 million.

00:02:41.440 Kemp, the governor, isn't going to feel any personal financial impact. Neither will any of the

00:02:46.780 state legislators probably who voted for the bill. All of the pain will be felt by the people who own

00:02:54.040 or work in the restaurants, hotels, retail outlets, and so on around where the game was to be held.

00:02:59.540 And you can imagine that these establishments had been relying on and looking forward to

00:03:03.840 having the All-Star game so they can start recouping a lot of the losses that they suffered over the past

00:03:09.040 year. They're the ones who are going to lose money and will suffer the pain. This raises the question,

00:03:14.920 why punish working people for the alleged sins of political leaders? Well, you might be able to 1.00

00:03:20.720 answer that question when you consider why BLM militants would burn down a local convenience store

00:03:26.340 for the alleged sins of the police. It's the same kind of strategy. There are other questions,

00:03:31.040 more pertinent questions to be asked. Like, why does Major League Baseball have values as a sport?

00:03:39.040 And what does that mean exactly? And if a sport can have values, why would its values have anything

00:03:45.020 to do with the election law in Georgia? Why does baseball have an opinion on Georgia election law?

00:03:52.900 And if, quote, Major League Baseball fundamentally supports voting rights for all, then why do they

00:03:57.800 have a problem with the Georgia law? Despite the propaganda from the Democrat Party and its media

00:04:02.220 mouthpieces, the Georgia law will not prevent a single person from voting. I'll say it again.

00:04:06.920 The Georgia law will not prevent a single person from voting. Rather, it puts in place—I guess I

00:04:14.880 should clarify—it will not prevent a single legal voter from voting. It rather puts in place some

00:04:20.840 very minimal restrictions and requirements to ensure election integrity, including some new ID

00:04:26.220 requirements for absentee voting. It doesn't ban minorities from voting or in any way interfere with

00:04:32.680 anyone's ability to vote. It doesn't make voting hard or confusing for anyone but the most incompetent

00:04:40.640 and befuddled. And if those sorts of people don't end up voting, well, no loss there. I saw, for example,

00:04:46.700 somebody on Twitter complaining—and I'm not making this up—complaining that the ID requirement for

00:04:52.280 absentee voting may be confusing for people because they might not know where to find their driver's

00:04:57.820 license number on their driver's license, and they're going to need that in order to submit

00:05:01.660 their ID for absentee voting. It's very confusing. Where do you find the driver's license number on

00:05:07.100 your driver's license? Well, you know, if you can't crack the code of your driver's license and can't

00:05:13.080 be bothered to Google the question and solve your confusion that way, then we're definitely better

00:05:19.080 off without your input. If that stops you from voting, then I am very glad that you have been

00:05:25.460 stopped from voting because you are so stupid that you have really no business voting or acting in 1.00

00:05:32.340 society as an adult at all. I mean, I'm worried about the fact that you drive a car. I'm worried 1.00

00:05:38.580 about all the other things you're doing, if you're that dumb. But other than the sort of fantastic 0.99

00:05:43.820 idiots who cannot decipher his own photo ID, everyone else will still be able to vote in 1.00

00:05:49.360 Georgia without a problem. We're also going to leave aside for the moment the much-remarked-upon 1.00

00:05:54.620 fact that the people protesting the ID requirements for voting are the same people, almost to a man,

00:06:00.320 the same people, who want vaccine passport requirements for everything else in life.

00:06:05.320 We don't want to have an ID to vote once every two years, if that. But a vaccine passport to do 1.00

00:06:16.720 everything else every day, that's fine. That's not onerous. In fact, putting that and everything

00:06:23.720 already mentioned to the side, the question I'd really like to focus on today is this. How can the

00:06:30.700 people who have major corporations like MLB taking their side still consider themselves to be

00:06:38.800 radicals and rebels, members of the cultural resistance? MLB is not the only company to

00:06:45.880 publicly take the left side on the issue. Coca-Cola, a company which, as Fox News points out in an article

00:06:51.600 on its site, still requires ID to attend its shareholder meetings. They issued a statement

00:06:57.340 condemning those same sort of requirements for voting. It said, quote, voting is a foundational

00:07:02.080 right in America, and we have long champion efforts to make it easier to vote. We want to

00:07:07.300 be crystal clear and state unambiguously that we are disappointed in the outcome of the Georgia

00:07:12.340 voting legislation. Well, Coca-Cola is disappointed. If that doesn't change your mind, I don't know what

00:07:19.000 will. Delta also joined the corporate outrage brigade, along with Apple, Microsoft, Google,

00:07:28.080 Citibank, and many others. Of course, most of the major media outlets are part of this crew. CBS

00:07:33.300 published a news article, big air quotes around news there, pushing more companies to help, quote,

00:07:39.340 fight Georgia's restrictive new voting law. That's a news article. But the most effective thing that

00:07:46.440 these outlets can do in the media, as noted, is simply lie about what's in the bill, and they've

00:07:50.920 been doing that with reckless abandon ever since it was signed. Once again, with the voter ID issue,

00:07:56.600 as with nearly every other issue you can name, to include especially race and LGBT issues,

00:08:02.500 the left has on its side, as dedicated advocates for its cause, all of the biggest and most powerful

00:08:08.640 corporations in the world to go along with the media, academia, Hollywood, the government.

00:08:12.880 Whatever else this means, it certainly means that if you are on the left, you are not a counterculture

00:08:20.600 warrior seeking to tear down the system. You are the system. You are the status quo. You are the

00:08:28.400 beneficiaries of all of the systemic privilege that society has to offer. It all goes to you.

00:08:34.900 You are not oppressed. Every institution with the power to oppress people is on your side,

00:08:39.940 and they oppress your opposition at your behest. You are the privileged elite. You are the defenders

00:08:48.000 of the rich and powerful. You are everything you claim to oppose. Everything. You represent everything

00:08:54.660 you hate. Now, you might say that I'm just a sore loser here, and maybe so. You know, I am, I admit, 0.99

00:09:01.240 kind of sore about the fact that we live in a culture run by maniacs like yourselves. I'm sore about that, 0.97

00:09:06.860 yes. But be that as it may, the point remains that you cannot have it both ways. You cannot

00:09:11.620 cosplay as a radical in your black Antifa ninja uniform while also having Citibank and Microsoft

00:09:19.020 out there doing your bidding. I mean, you can, but you're not going to be taken seriously if you do

00:09:24.260 that. What about the rest of us? I mean, what about those of us who actually stand in opposition

00:09:30.400 to the political and cultural agenda of the richest and most powerful people and institutions in the

00:09:35.060 world? What about those of us who are actual critics of the system? Those of us who face real systemic

00:09:42.160 disadvantage and even oppression? What should we do besides complain? I mean, we got that covered. I

00:09:48.360 have that covered. So we're doing that. Great. What else can we do? One thing we can do is realize

00:09:55.580 how numerous we still are. Now I don't buy the silent majority line. I don't think we are in

00:10:03.020 the majority. And if we are, and we've been silent, then that's all the more embarrassing for us. I sort

00:10:07.160 of hope we're not in the majority. If we're in the majority and we let all of this happen and have

00:10:12.180 been silent the whole time, you know, it always, it always confuses me when conservatives say that

00:10:17.580 proudly. We're the silent majority. Well, what are you doing being silent? You cowards? That doesn't make

00:10:22.860 me feel better. But even if we're not in the majority, we are still millions and millions strong.

00:10:29.060 There's no doubt about that. There is power that comes with those numbers, but we have to use the

00:10:35.320 power. We can't be squeamish about it. And this should begin at the most basic level with refusing to

00:10:42.700 give our money and brand loyalty to companies that openly hate us. Coca-Cola on the heels of telling its

00:10:48.940 employees to be less white. Remember that is now openly fighting to make our elections less safe 0.97

00:10:54.600 and less secure. We have to ask ourselves, is their products so important to our lives?

00:11:00.940 So important that we're going to continue to purchase it, continue to collectively put millions

00:11:04.540 of dollars into their coffers, even as they use the wealth and influence we give them to work

00:11:09.820 against us and undermine us in the culture. Is that 20 ounce Coke you're drinking with your lunch

00:11:16.160 that crucial to you? Would it be a major sacrifice to drink a different brand or better yet drinks of

00:11:22.240 water out of the tap? The answer is that it would be really no sacrifice. I mean, you could cut Coke

00:11:29.860 out of your life completely and not feel the loss at all, except the weight loss maybe. And if we all did

00:11:38.840 that, however many million of millions of us, if we all did that, which again, we could all do that

00:11:45.480 with no effort, Coke would be a major brand, a billion dollar transnational corporation that would

00:11:52.480 actually feel the consequence of its own wokeness. It would feel it in a real way. They would lose

00:11:58.480 millions of dollars, if not billions. Again, we could make this happen while virtually sacrificing

00:12:05.580 nothing and making no significant change to our daily life. You could cut Coke out of your life

00:12:12.380 without any effort. Your life would be better for it. In fact, Coca-Cola is a bad product that makes

00:12:18.820 you fat, unhealthy, and ugly. Also, the company that sells it hates your guts. I mean, how much more 1.00

00:12:24.220 convincing do we need? We should never give them our money again. We could do the same with these other

00:12:31.960 companies. And in most, but not all cases, the sacrifice would be made with similar ease.

00:12:37.260 Now, some of these companies are so ingrained in our lives that it would require a little more

00:12:41.420 effort than others to extricate them from our homes and our lifestyles. Still, it can be done.

00:12:47.040 What's the argument for not doing it? I don't think there is one. Not a good one anyway. Not anymore.

00:12:54.580 There may have been a time when we thought we could afford to take the high road on boycotts and

00:12:59.500 similar tactics. I myself was under that delusion for a time, but no more. We have the power, some

00:13:08.020 power at least. Not the kind of power the left has, but we still have some power. And it's high time

00:13:14.640 that we start using it. Now let's get to our five headlines. I want to take a second now to tell you

00:13:25.780 about our good friends over at Rock Auto. It's not a lot of fun to waste time at these auto parts

00:13:33.480 stores when you could be doing other things. It's even less fun when it's spring out and it's nice

00:13:38.000 out and you want to be doing other things with your time. So why do that? Why walk aimlessly around the

00:13:42.200 auto parts store looking for what you're trying to find? You're probably not going to find it anyway.

00:13:45.300 If you do, it's going to be more expensive than it should be. Go to rockauto.com. Just pull your phone

00:13:49.740 out of your pocket and go to rockauto.com. They always offer the lowest prices possible rather

00:13:53.760 than changing prices based on what the market will bear. You don't need to spend up to twice

00:13:58.160 as much for the same parts. It makes no sense to do that. Rockauto.com is a family business. They've

00:14:01.720 been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body

00:14:07.180 parts from hundreds of manufacturers. The rockauto.com catalog is unique and easy to navigate. You can

00:14:12.620 quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and you could choose the brand specifications and

00:14:17.260 prices that you prefer. Amazing selection, reliably low prices, all the parts your car will ever need.

00:14:22.620 So go to rockauto.com right now and see all the parts available for your car or truck. And remember

00:14:27.760 as always to write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent you.

00:14:32.700 Well, I hope you had a blessed and happy Easter. We had a lot of fun in my house. Started the day with

00:14:39.080 a 6 a.m. Easter egg hunt outside before church. We had to get it in before church and it wasn't going to

00:14:46.480 work to hold the kids off on the Easter egg hunt until after church. We figured we'd do it before.

00:14:51.980 So I apologize to our neighbors for that because we were outside doing an Easter egg hunt at like

00:14:56.140 6 a.m. Fortunately, my kids are, you know, they're only about as loud as a busload of coked up spider

00:15:02.840 monkeys. So it probably wasn't that much of a disturbance. I have to say though, Easter egg hunts

00:15:07.840 have become, they've kind of gone downhill for me in terms of how fun they are. Ever since I got fired

00:15:14.120 from the job of filling the eggs, um, before the Easter egg hunt. So now I'm the guy, my job is to

00:15:20.360 go hide them, but I don't get to fill them. And the reason I got fired from that job is a few years

00:15:25.560 ago, you know, I had the idea to fill because my wife, you know, made the mistake of, of giving the

00:15:33.040 job to me. And she, like, she, she left me unattended and gave, gave me all the empty eggs and said,

00:15:37.440 yeah, fill these and we're gonna do the Easter egg hunt. And so I filled half of the eggs with things

00:15:42.100 that no kid would ever want, you know, like olives. Some of them just had rocks and grass and

00:15:49.760 stuff. And then I also put real raw eggs in some of the eggs. And I thought it'd be hilarious. And

00:15:55.460 it was, um, until one of the kids opened one of the eggs with an egg inside and dropped it and it

00:16:01.640 splattered all over the place and got on his shoes and everything. And, um, and then it was a big scene

00:16:06.060 and my wife gave me that look that said, you know, you're, you're banned from doing this again. 0.79

00:16:09.860 But I still think, I believe the game, it lent the game some necessary intensity when the eggs

00:16:16.580 contain both good and bad surprises. That's my feeling on it. Now you, you might, there are,

00:16:23.520 there are those who theorize that filling the eggs is a tedious task. And so I did that on purpose so

00:16:32.340 that I would be banned from it forever in the future. And I would never have to do it again.

00:16:35.980 Um, that's also a theory. I'm not, I'm not, I'm not going to speculate on whether that's true or

00:16:41.740 not. Okay. Uh, number one, moving on here from the daily wire, it says the deceased assailant who

00:16:46.200 rammed two U S Capitol police officers Friday and emerged from his car, wielding a knife

00:16:50.120 before, before police shot him has been identified as a 25 year old African-American man from Indiana

00:16:55.640 who believed Louis Farrakhan is an incarnation of Jesus Christ. Um, NBC's Pete Williams reported Friday

00:17:03.740 that Capitol police identified the suspect as a 25 year old man from Indiana, uh, who may have lived

00:17:08.660 in Virginia on his Facebook page. He notes that he's a follower of the nation of Islam, according

00:17:14.880 to MSNBC, Jesse, Jesse Rodriguez, uh, and he's now dead. Now that Facebook page apparently was deleted

00:17:22.520 like within seconds. So some enterprising journalists, and by that, I don't mean mainstream media journalists,

00:17:31.680 but some other journalists on, on, uh, Twitter went to Facebook and pulled a lot of this stuff

00:17:36.720 and posted it before Facebook took it down. And they, they, it's, it's creepy how fast Facebook

00:17:43.680 acted to take the page down and why take the page down at all. I mean, I know why they did it. I know

00:17:49.500 the real reason why they did it, but, um, what would even be the stated reason? Yeah. The guy did a

00:17:57.820 horrible thing. So now we, now we take the page down. What, why? I mean, it, it, it might tell us,

00:18:07.460 it, it, it tells us something about his motives, why he did it. This is, this is all pertinent

00:18:12.080 information. And of course, again, that, but that's, that's why they take the page downs because

00:18:17.120 they don't want us to know. And, uh, that happened, what was that? That happened on Friday.

00:18:22.820 And here we are on Monday, only a few days later. And, uh, already, of course, the media has moved

00:18:29.020 on and we don't have to get into, you know, we, we could start, I could start pulling the tweets

00:18:34.360 and everything from, from people on the left to when, when we heard about the attack, there was

00:18:38.860 something going on at the Capitol and we knew that, that at least one police officer had been hurt or

00:18:42.560 killed. And of course they were speculating immediately. It's just stating that it might,

00:18:47.000 it must be a white male. That wasn't the case at all. Um, we don't have to get into that.

00:18:50.800 We know that's the way it goes, but already right down the memory hole.

00:18:58.040 We know that's the way it goes too. The, the culprit is, is not who they need it to be

00:19:03.160 politically. And we, we move on very quickly.

00:19:09.780 You know, that, that mass shooting by the Syrian immigrant,

00:19:13.760 that was that 10 people were killed. And we stopped talking about that. It's like never

00:19:20.600 happened. That's the power of the media has to move the conversation as I suppose they would put

00:19:27.200 it. Um, number two, Arkansas passed a bill banning the genital mutilation of children. And I believe

00:19:34.080 that, uh, well, the bill was passed by the Arkansas Senate. Hasn't been signed by the governor yet,

00:19:39.860 I believe, but the daily wire reports, the Arkansas Senate passed the Arkansas save

00:19:45.000 adolescents from experimentation act or safe act on Monday. Now it heads to Republican governor

00:19:49.920 Asa Hutchinson's desk for him to sign into law. The state government has a compelling interest in

00:19:54.560 protecting the health and safety of its citizens, especially vulnerable children. House bill 1570

00:19:58.740 says, uh, let's go to what the bill bans. Here's the list. Uh, the bill bans a physician or other

00:20:07.680 healthcare professional from providing gender transition procedures to any individual under 18

00:20:12.400 years of age. Okay. A physician or other healthcare professional from referring any individual under 18

00:20:18.980 years of age to any healthcare professional for gender transition procedures. It also bans public

00:20:24.080 funds from being directly or indirectly used, granted, paid, or distributed to any entity organization

00:20:28.900 or individual that provides gender transition procedures to any individual under 18 years of age.

00:20:33.460 There's a little more to it than that, but that's, that's the basic thing there. It is specifically

00:20:39.880 about protecting kids under 18 minors from having these things done to them that cannot be fully reversed

00:20:49.920 and that they cannot consent to because they're minors. And supposedly we all agree in, in most other

00:21:01.400 contexts, that minors cannot consent. They don't have the full capacity of consent because they

00:21:08.660 don't, their brains are not fully developed yet. The brains will not be fully developed, especially

00:21:13.400 the parts of their brain that are involved in discernment, involved in long-term thinking and

00:21:18.500 planning. Those parts of their brain won't be fully developed until 25. So they're far away from

00:21:23.460 that. Which, which means it's incoherent to say, oh, well, we want to do this procedure on this 16 year

00:21:34.940 old because they, this is what they want and it's best for them. That's incoherent. They don't really

00:21:41.100 know what they want and they have no idea what's best for them. They can't choose it.

00:21:46.460 In effect, if you are doing a procedure, you know, to use the euphemistic phrase, 0.67

00:21:57.960 if you're doing a procedure, if you are mutilating the genitals of a 16 year old, 0.76

00:22:01.140 you are doing it against their will, period. Because they cannot choose it. It's the same 0.87

00:22:09.320 thing we would say if there was a six, if there was a, uh, you know, a 40 year old man having sex

00:22:16.340 with a 16 year old child, we would say that was against that child's will.

00:22:23.280 Even if they verbally consented, it's against their will because they can't,

00:22:26.620 they cannot actually consent. They cannot psychologically consent to this.

00:22:31.680 So that's really the way to phrase this. This, this bans doctors from performing these procedures

00:22:38.920 on people against their will. And if they're doing it to kids, it's against their will.

00:22:44.340 Now, MSNBC and the rest of the media responded to this about the way you'd expect.

00:22:49.540 Uh, but I thought this segment was, it almost managed to stand out for how incredibly dishonest

00:22:55.600 and misleading it was. Let's, let's listen.

00:22:57.620 Arkansas governor Asa Hutchison has already signed a law banning women and girls from competing on

00:23:03.960 sports teams consistent with their gender identity. Now the state legislature has sent

00:23:09.040 another anti-trans bill to his desk. One that would ban minors from receiving gender affirming

00:23:14.940 healthcare. Unfortunately, Arkansas is not an outlier. According to the ACLU's latest account,

00:23:21.860 legislators in more than half the states have introduced or passed some type of anti-trans

00:23:27.520 legislation. What is motivating this other than hate?

00:23:32.980 Yes, Jonathan, we are seeing a terrible wave of anti-transgender bills across the country.

00:23:38.800 And, you know, this is nothing new for the LGBTQ community. Over the years, we have seen all

00:23:44.060 different types and ways of trying to exclude LGBTQ people from daily life. But these attacks are

00:23:50.560 particularly egregious. We're seeing attacks on young people, on their ability to participate in

00:23:56.040 school, in school sports, and we're seeing attacks on the ability to access life-saving,

00:24:01.440 gender-affirming healthcare. And so the nastiness and the, in the message from all of these is we do 1.00

00:24:07.380 not want you here. We do not want trans youth in our schools. We do not include you. And we, 1.00

00:24:13.000 we wish to keep you out of our daily life. So terrible.

00:24:16.740 ACLU trans justice campaign strategist. I cannot think of a more useless collection of words. Is 0.98

00:24:25.020 there a more useless title than that? The whole thing is, is what they're talking about, again, 0.71

00:24:31.760 what they're defending here is the genital mutilation of children and, and the, um,

00:24:38.240 the chemical castration of children, because those are the kinds of drugs that they're using on these

00:24:43.040 kids, chemically castrating them. These are bills that ban the chemical castration of children.

00:24:48.720 And what you have, there are, you know, leftists on a major media outlet openly defending it.

00:24:57.380 Defending it, you know, here's the thing, defending it not as, uh, they're, they're not approaching this

00:25:04.420 as though they're defending a very controversial stance. Okay. Uh, they're defending it like this

00:25:13.580 is obvious. How could anyone, how could anyone be against chemically castrating a 14 year old boy?

00:25:20.360 What is, this is unbelievable. This is absurd. The only reason that you could be against it is hate.

00:25:29.060 Well, yeah, you're right. Actually, you're, you're right about that. I am against it for hate. I,

00:25:32.920 I hate the idea of doing that to a kid. I do. I personally, I really hate the idea of chemically

00:25:41.260 castrating kids of, uh, of generally mutilating them. I hate that idea. So you're right. 0.95

00:25:50.360 But notice that the euphemism again, now it's, um, and it keeps, it keeps changing.

00:25:56.120 Once upon a time, we used to call this a sex change surgery. And even that, so it's, it's,

00:26:03.480 it's euphemism on top of the euphemism on top of euphemism. Even the term sex change surgery

00:26:09.340 was ridiculous because you, you cannot actually do that. Okay. You, you, you mutilate a man's penis. 1.00

00:26:18.040 You have not changed his sex at all. You haven't even come close to doing it. You can't do it. 1.00

00:26:23.320 It'll never happen. But the, at least there you had the word change and surgery. Okay. So that it

00:26:33.420 was the sex part, sex change. That's where the euphemism and that's how it became misleading,

00:26:38.100 but at least you had change and surgery. So you knew that, okay, this is surgery. It's something

00:26:43.340 a little more serious. Surgery is a serious thing. And we're changing something. We're making a change,

00:26:48.500 but the left can't, they, even that little bit of honesty, they cannot allow. And so we went from,

00:26:58.460 uh, sex change surgery to gender reassignment surgery, which now we're, now we're going way

00:27:06.900 into the weeds of delusion here. Going sex. Now it's gender doesn't make any sense because they say 0.90

00:27:13.440 that gender, okay, the gender has nothing to do with sex. A guy with a penis can still be a woman 1.00

00:27:19.620 in terms of his gender. And so, so why, what do you mean you're jet? If gender is a social construct, 0.99

00:27:25.660 how can you reassign it through surgery? If gender has nothing to do with your body, 0.99

00:27:32.340 how can you reassign someone's gender with surgery? It doesn't make any sense.

00:27:36.220 Of course, nothing these, these, these maniacs say makes any sense. Um, so it was, so this was

00:27:43.660 sex change surgery, gender reassignment surgery. Um, and now even more of a euphemism because we got 0.54

00:27:51.680 gender reassignment. Oh, we're just reassigning as if it was a sign to begin with. Cause that's 1.00

00:27:58.100 what the doctors do, right? They just assign. All they do is they look at the baby and they come up with,

00:28:02.360 with a label, like slapping a sticker on it, assigning it. Um, but then that's, even that was

00:28:11.040 too, too honest. And so now we're at, uh, gender affirmation healthcare. We're not changing. It's,

00:28:20.820 uh, we're not changing anything. We're just, we're affirming by chemically castrating a 14 year old 0.70

00:28:27.600 where we're affirming something. Affirming him in his confusion. I suppose so. Yeah.

00:28:35.820 And it's healthcare. I mean, you're using the healthcare. Now you're using these drugs off

00:28:42.960 label. These drugs were not made or developed to be used by physically healthy kids.

00:28:53.920 Euphemism on top of euphemism on top of euphemism. That's, and that's how they get away with this.

00:28:57.600 That's how they change. You know, they, they change public perception and it's quite brilliant.

00:29:03.240 It's quite evil, quite twisted, but it's quite brilliant on top of it.

00:29:08.860 They're cut there. They're, they're, they never constantly changing the language. They never let,

00:29:14.980 they can never let it be because once people start to realize and they get wise to the game,

00:29:21.860 then the left says, okay, we got to change the language again.

00:29:26.580 It's, it, there's, it's a, it's a, they're innovators. It's a process of innovation.

00:29:33.120 Now it's innovation, um, for, in order to deceive,

00:29:39.080 it's innovation for the sake of deception, but it is, it's innovation.

00:29:43.360 Um, all right, let's move on. Number three, a pastor in Canada had the cop show up to his church

00:29:51.880 and, um, this happened, uh, on good Friday, I believe. And I think he, he gave us a,

00:30:00.040 this is how you deal with it. Okay. This right here, I think is how you deal with the police

00:30:04.400 showing up at his church without a warrant, trying to shut him down. And here's how he

00:30:09.180 handled the problem. Let's listen. Please get out, get out of this property immediately. Get out, 0.76

00:30:16.980 get out of this property immediately out. I don't want to hear anything out of this property

00:30:23.580 immediately. I don't want to hear a word out, out, out of this property immediately until you come back

00:30:32.700 out, out, out of this property immediately out. I don't care what you have to say out, out, out of this property, you Nazis. 0.95

00:30:40.500 Out. Out. Out. Out. 0.97

00:31:06.120 Gestapo is not allowed here. Immediately, Gestapo is not allowed.

00:31:11.500 All right. So there you go. I like how I just like I was not letting this lady get some bureaucrat there along with the police. 1.00

00:31:22.880 And she's trying to give her a line about, say whatever. We can't even hear what she's saying.

00:31:27.980 He's not going to he's not going to have the conversation with with her.

00:31:31.640 He's saying, just get the hell out. We're not talking about this. I'm not I'm not going to explain to you why I have the right in my church to to to worship, you know, with with with my flock.

00:31:43.800 I'm not going to explain it to you. We're not going to we're not going to discuss it. I'm not going to debate it with you.

00:31:47.960 You just need to get the hell out. And so he's screaming at her. And I love that. 0.99

00:31:51.900 Happy Easter to that pastor. We need about a million more of him. That's what we need.

00:31:56.980 We had a million more of that guy. We'd be in good shape.

00:31:59.160 A million more of those that guy running churches.

00:32:03.760 And and, you know, Christian communities across across the world.

00:32:09.820 As exactly how to do it now, normally, you know, throw in Nazi and Gestapo out there. 0.72

00:32:15.240 Normally, I'm not a fan of that, but his idea here is just to heap contempt on on these people.

00:32:23.320 And that I'm fine with.

00:32:26.440 Because that's what you have to do.

00:32:29.820 And if you're a police officer.

00:32:33.260 And you're sent to go shut down a church.

00:32:36.540 You know, and you follow that order, then you deserve the contempt.

00:32:41.160 You deserve that treatment. One hundred percent.

00:32:43.020 I think history has taught us.

00:32:48.220 And yes, the Nazis did also teach us this as well.

00:32:51.000 That I'm follow.

00:32:52.900 I'm following orders is not an excuse.

00:32:56.460 It's not a moral justification.

00:33:00.020 We learned that from the Nazis and from many other historical examples.

00:33:02.940 So you follow that order.

00:33:06.780 I know I guess it's difficult.

00:33:08.900 You could lose your job.

00:33:10.200 Who knows what else could happen?

00:33:12.320 But when you're told by your superiors.

00:33:14.120 Yeah, we need you to go shut down this church on Good Friday. 0.54

00:33:17.900 Your answer should be hell no.

00:33:19.380 Not going to happen.

00:33:22.240 OK.

00:33:23.560 Not really related, but on the subject of Easter and pastors.

00:33:27.160 We go from good to evil here.

00:33:29.260 Because I want I did have to mention this. 0.95

00:33:30.820 But Senator Warnock of Georgia, fake Christian, fake pastor. 1.00

00:33:36.120 So we got a good good pastor there looking out for his flock.

00:33:38.820 Here we have a fake one and someone trying to lead his flock astray.

00:33:43.740 And here's what he tweeted.

00:33:45.020 And he deleted this, which is interesting.

00:33:48.380 But he tweeted, the meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:33:55.680 We could really just stop it right there.

00:33:57.300 The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:34:02.960 More transcendent.

00:34:04.540 Not even the meaning of Easter is something other than.

00:34:10.620 It's more transcendent than.

00:34:13.340 Then he continues, whether you're Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others, we are able to save ourselves.

00:34:20.520 My God.

00:34:24.820 And this is a Christian pastor.

00:34:27.520 He has his own church.

00:34:30.000 The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:34:32.640 I think I don't have to explain.

00:34:33.920 I don't think I have to explain why this is heresy.

00:34:37.760 And not heresy.

00:34:39.280 You're not calling it heresy in some sort of colloquial way.

00:34:41.560 Because I know this is actual heresy.

00:34:43.740 This is what heresy sounds like.

00:34:44.780 In fact, the meaning of Easter is only the resurrection of Jesus Christ.

00:34:51.100 That's all it is.

00:34:52.220 That's everything it is.

00:34:53.120 It doesn't need to be more than that.

00:34:54.920 That's it.

00:34:55.420 That's everything.

00:34:58.940 But even the...

00:35:01.640 So you have heresy here, which is really the main problem.

00:35:04.800 But also, on top of the heresy, you have this dull kind of nothing sort of message.

00:35:17.440 What he's saying, what is, to him, what is more transcendent than Jesus Christ rising from the grave?

00:35:26.640 The tomb is empty.

00:35:27.860 We have Christ rising from the grave to redeem mankind.

00:35:34.620 Would seem to me to be the most transcendent thing ever in the history of reality.

00:35:41.520 What does he say is more transcendent than that?

00:35:45.600 Helping others.

00:35:47.260 A commitment to helping others.

00:35:48.680 This dry HR manager type lingo is what he wants to replace the resurrection of Jesus with.

00:36:02.080 What does that even mean?

00:36:03.940 Whether you're Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others, we're able to save ourselves.

00:36:09.140 Again, leaving aside the heresy of it, if we can do that, what does that mean?

00:36:14.700 Helping others, what?

00:36:16.560 See, you're not helping your flock when you spew heresy at them, number one.

00:36:22.840 And number two, when you say something like, well, we should help others, okay?

00:36:27.740 Yes, everyone...

00:36:29.160 I don't think anyone is against helping, in principle.

00:36:32.280 There's no anti-helping faction out there.

00:36:37.020 But it really depends on what are we helping people do, and how are we helping them do it?

00:36:42.860 That's what we need to know.

00:36:44.000 See, I would think that, as Christians, we should be helping others live holy and godly lives as best we can.

00:36:57.380 That's the sort of help we should be giving people.

00:36:59.920 Of course, we can't do that for them.

00:37:01.540 We can't save them.

00:37:02.480 We can't redeem them.

00:37:03.300 But we can help people as best as we can.

00:37:09.460 You know, Thomas Aquinas said, to love someone is to will the good of the other.

00:37:13.640 And so, to the extent that we can, we can will the good of others.

00:37:19.980 We can help them on the path to holiness.

00:37:22.140 Just as we would hope that they would do for us.

00:37:26.820 Yeah, that's a worthwhile message.

00:37:29.840 Not when you package it with heresy, but it's a worthwhile message.

00:37:33.160 A fine message for Easter.

00:37:34.440 But that's not, of course, what Raphael Warnock is saying.

00:37:40.900 He doesn't mean help others in holiness.

00:37:45.340 What he means is, and when he says helping, really the people doing the helping would be the government.

00:37:51.460 But people like him, he's a senator.

00:37:52.660 And that's what he, so helping is through things like policy and law.

00:37:59.880 And that's how you create a utopia on earth.

00:38:04.340 It's by ceding all of your power to these government officials who will then point you in the right direction by compelling you there.

00:38:11.720 And by creating a policy that will, you know, instate a utopia.

00:38:17.740 And that's his theology.

00:38:19.860 Which is not at all a Christian theology.

00:38:22.660 In the slightest bit.

00:38:24.840 Okay, number five.

00:38:25.460 This is from the BBC.

00:38:26.600 It says, Amazon has apologized to a U.S. politician for falsely denying that drivers are at times forced to urinate in plastic bottles.

00:38:35.720 Mark Pocan, a Democrat from Wisconsin, referenced Amazon making, quote, workers urinate in water bottles in a tweet.

00:38:41.900 The official Amazon Twitter account then replied, if that were true, nobody would work for us.

00:38:46.400 The company has now apologized after evidence emerged of drivers having to urinate in bottles.

00:38:50.720 Amazon said a statement.

00:38:53.340 We owe an apology to Representative Pocan.

00:38:55.320 The tweet was incorrect.

00:38:56.260 It did not contemplate our larger driver population and instead wrongly focused only on our fulfillment centers.

00:39:02.560 It added that fulfillment centers all have dozens of toilets that employees can use at any time.

00:39:06.460 Okay, I do not have the, I have no interest really in defending Amazon here at all.

00:39:12.640 That's, that's not a job that I'm going to take on for myself.

00:39:15.560 But I will say it, I don't quite understand how it's Amazon's fault if a driver has to urinate in a bottle.

00:39:22.580 Which, can I say, who among us, who among us has not had to come up with creative urination solutions while on long road trips?

00:39:31.860 Who among us?

00:39:34.080 But in any case, what, what is Amazon supposed to do? 0.96

00:39:37.000 They've got drivers, they've got to drive across the country.

00:39:39.000 Are they themselves supposed to build, you know, rest stops every, every three miles everywhere in the country?

00:39:49.620 And if you're a man peeing in a bottle, which I would assume you'd probably be a man if you're doing that, that, that's, that's, that's really your own fault. 0.89

00:39:57.700 Because you, what, you can't find a tree anywhere?

00:40:00.740 If you're reduced to that, I, I don't see how we can blame Amazon for that.

00:40:03.880 That, that is the one little defense of Amazon I will give. 0.99

00:40:05.740 Okay, moving on to reading the comments, this is from Jackson Brinton, who says,

00:40:09.580 Matt, I'm 16 and I still believe in the Easter Bunny, thank you for letting me know he isn't real.

00:40:14.280 Well, Jackson, plenty of 16-year-olds believe in dumber things than the Easter Bunny, so you're not too far behind them.

00:40:20.560 Another comment says, the concept of the Easter Bunny being six feet tall is an entirely new concept to me. 0.74

00:40:25.000 When I was a kid, I was told he was the size of an ordinary rabbit.

00:40:28.320 Wait a second, what?

00:40:30.000 You thought the Easter Bunny was the size of an ordinary rabbit?

00:40:33.220 How, then, how did you think, how was he bringing you the Easter basket?

00:40:39.000 What did he bring you?

00:40:39.780 Did he bring you anything?

00:40:42.300 It doesn't make any sense.

00:40:43.900 I always, I guess I, well, that was my point last week, is that we, we never had any agreement on who the Easter Bunny is or what he does or anything.

00:40:51.040 Um, and I guess I was never specifically told that the Easter Bunny is six feet tall.

00:40:55.000 I just assumed that he must be.

00:40:57.000 If he's bringing all this stuff, how else would he drag it in the house?

00:41:02.600 Um, Emery says, my dad always wanted a son and ended up with two daughters.

00:41:07.460 He'd jokingly call us little men and he tried to, uh, get, get us into things he understood, fishing, hunting, motorcycles, etc.

00:41:13.360 Granted, I was a total tomboy as a child, but still it's mind-boggling to me that parents actually try to change their kids' identities because they aren't happy with the sex they were created as.

00:41:22.980 Uh, yeah, mind-boggling.

00:41:24.160 It is, what it is for parents, there is, uh, a diagnosis for it, in fact.

00:41:28.560 Um, even though these parents will never be diagnosed with this now, but this is, uh, Munchausen by proxy.

00:41:35.800 That's what this is.

00:41:36.760 Um, and Munchausen by proxy is when parents, usually it's a mother. 0.98

00:41:40.380 And oftentimes with the trans kids, you find that it's a mother, especially when it's a boy becoming a girl. 0.64

00:41:45.740 Oftentimes, coincidentally, you find that there's a mother, a mother very, very involved in this process.

00:41:50.720 Um, and, uh, with Munchausen by proxy, it's oftentimes a mother who, um, makes her child believe that he is sick.

00:42:00.780 She fabricates sickness for the child and sometimes causes the child to be sick by poisoning the child or something.

00:42:07.080 Uh, and she does this, number one, because she's mentally ill, and number two, because it's attention for her and sympathy for her. 1.00

00:42:14.720 The trans child phenomenon is that. 0.99

00:42:17.320 It is, uh, is Munchausen by proxy, only it has been normalized and, uh, romanticized.

00:42:22.340 And now we're supposed to, we're supposed to accept it.

00:42:25.420 Um, finally, let's see.

00:42:29.880 Uh, Gerard says, I consider Matt an authority on pull-ups.

00:42:33.860 The understanding of momentum and form aside, just look at those guns wanting to pop out of that non-polka-dot shirt. 0.99

00:42:39.360 Well, Gerard, I'm going to let the polka-dot comment slide for the time being.

00:42:42.940 And the fact that you're a guy talking about things popping out of my shirt, uh, I'm, I'm a little disturbed by that.

00:42:50.440 I don't know if I'm the authority on, um, pull-ups, but, but just in the sense that I know how to do them properly.

00:42:56.000 And, and, and, and I mean, generally, if you're doing muscle building exercises, if you want to build muscle mass, there shouldn't really be momentum in your exercises because it's all about form and control.

00:43:06.620 That's what the muscle building exercises are.

00:43:08.820 A lot of guys I see at the gym are, are, they're going way too fast.

00:43:11.880 They don't have enough control over their movement.

00:43:14.040 Uh, they're using weight, more weight than they can handle because, you know, they, because it looks better to use the heavier weights.

00:43:20.080 The other great thing about doing the exercises properly is that, um, because the other thing you see at the gym is you see people on the ab machines and all, like all kinds of different ab things people are doing.

00:43:30.700 Um, all of that is unnecessary because number one, if you've got gut, if you've got fat on your gut, you can do all the ab exercises in the world.

00:43:39.740 It's not going to really do anything about that gut fat, uh, cause you got to diet and you got to do a lot of cardio for that.

00:43:43.900 But number two, if you're doing muscle building exercises correctly with the proper form and your core is engaged and tight, then every exercise is a, is an ab exercise too.

00:43:55.960 So that's a tip.

00:43:57.540 A little fitness tip.

00:43:58.540 I hear from businesses all the time, uh, that it's, it's, it's always tough to find the right people to fill the positions that you have open, but it's, it's, it's only getting harder.

00:44:08.960 You know, it's just, it's harder and harder.

00:44:10.440 If you're a business owner who's hiring, you'll probably face a lot of challenges when it comes to finding the right person for your role.

00:44:15.640 That's why hiring can feel like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

00:44:18.920 Sure.

00:44:19.040 You can post your job to some job board, but then all you can do is sit around and hope that it finds the right person.

00:44:25.500 No reason to do that.

00:44:26.540 This is why you need ZipRecruiter. 0.82

00:45:29.940 More and more of the left wants to erase these values and replace them with their own pseudo-morality.

00:45:33.800 And that's why we've launched a brand new talk show with Candace Owens, one of the fiercest protectors of conservative values and free speech. 1.00

00:46:11.960 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:46:16.740 Today we're going to be canceling the CDC.

00:46:18.620 The CDC is by far my most canceled government agency.

00:46:21.520 It provides me with so many reasons to cancel it so often that sometimes the most pertinent cancellation opportunities get lost in the shuffle.

00:46:27.980 So here's one from last week that I missed.

00:46:29.900 Reading the article from CNBC, it says,

00:46:32.300 The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have extended the national ban on evictions through the end of June.

00:46:41.180 Quote, the COVID-19 pandemic has presented a historic threat to the nation's public health.

00:46:45.680 That's according to the CDC director, Dr. Rochelle Walensky.

00:46:50.060 Keeping people in their homes and out of crowded or congregated settings like homeless shelters by preventing evictions is a key step in helping to stop the spread of COVID-19.

00:46:58.080 The eviction ban was scheduled to expire in two days and advocates warned of a spike in evictions without an extension.

00:47:04.660 Around 20 percent of adult renters said they didn't pay last month's rent.

00:47:07.920 According to a survey published in March by the Census Bureau, closer to 33 percent of black renters reported the same.

00:47:15.160 Now, as to that last line, I must ask, so why do you need to tell us the statistic for black renters specifically?

00:47:22.320 Are you also going to tell us that the percentage for Asian renters, French American renters, renters of Pacific Island descent and so on?

00:47:30.400 No, of course not.

00:47:31.040 But still, for whatever reason, we need that specific information on black renters.

00:47:34.160 In any case, more to the point here.

00:47:36.640 How in God's holy name does the CDC have the power to issue a ban on evictions?

00:47:43.600 From where do they derive that authority?

00:47:46.660 The CDC, last I checked, is the Center for Disease Control.

00:47:50.480 Did they become the Center for Disease Control and housing at some point recently?

00:47:54.180 And I missed it.

00:47:54.780 Did CDC and HUD morph into some kind of federal megazord and we weren't informed?

00:48:01.440 No, the CDC is still the CDC.

00:48:04.020 And yet they've claimed this authority for themselves without any concern for the legality of it.

00:48:09.020 As for the legality question, multiple federal judges have ruled that, no, they don't have this power.

00:48:15.780 ABC News says this, quote,

00:48:17.580 U.S. District Judge Philip Calabrese, sitting in Cleveland, ruled Wednesday that the CDC went beyond what the Federal Public Health Service Act allows it to do in ordering a halt on evictions.

00:48:28.000 Okay.

00:48:28.740 But wait for the kicker here because it continues.

00:48:31.680 However, he did not grant an injunction that would have stopped the agency from enforcing the moratorium.

00:48:37.540 Yes, the federal judges are ruling that this is not constitutional because they have no choice but to rule that way.

00:48:44.400 Because even they lack the legal creativity to conjure this constitutional authority out of thin air.

00:48:49.060 Yet they still aren't willing to do anything about it.

00:48:51.700 Instead, they're standing off at a distance and symbolically shaking their fists.

00:48:55.600 Ah, blasted CDC. 0.93

00:48:57.000 I disapprove of this. 0.99

00:48:58.860 Disapprove, I say.

00:49:00.940 I guess when you shake your fist, it's more like this, right?

00:49:02.800 Yeah, there we go.

00:49:04.940 It's all an act, of course.

00:49:06.080 The federal government has no interest in curbing its own power.

00:49:10.820 Many federal agencies, along with governmental institutions at the state and local levels, have used COVID as an opportunity to claim unprecedented power for themselves.

00:49:19.260 They've been like sugar-mad children at a birthday party clawing over each other to grab the candy that fell out of the piñata.

00:49:25.840 The candy, the treat in this case, is power.

00:49:28.780 And government agencies have been in a mosh pit brawl fighting with each other to scoop up every little bit of it that they can.

00:49:34.860 The CDC, I think, has played this game perhaps better than any of the rest of them.

00:49:39.320 And this is how it finds itself now waving its royal scepter and decreeing that landlords may not evict tenants, even if those tenants refuse to pay their rent.

00:49:49.940 Now, we should not let the question of authority obscure the perhaps more important point, or at least as important point.

00:49:58.280 This is also a really terrible idea on the merits, no matter who is enforcing this.

00:50:04.620 Landlords, contrary to popular belief, are not all a bunch of Scrooge McDucks swimming in their vats of gold coins.

00:50:11.720 To be a landlord, you only need the capital to make a down payment on a property.

00:50:17.040 That's all you need. You don't need to be a millionaire for that.

00:50:20.140 The whole point of renting out the property is that the renters will pay, or significantly help with, the rest of the expenses.

00:50:27.240 And there are many expenses, to include the obvious stuff like mortgage and utilities.

00:50:33.000 If renters are not paying their fair share, then landlords, who again are for the most part not wealthy fat cats, they have to reach into their own pockets.

00:50:42.720 Now, they're bankrupting themselves so that someone else can live for free.

00:50:46.720 Now, yes, that other person may be struggling because of COVID, but so is the landlord.

00:50:50.700 So, one struggling guy gets to live for free, the other has to pay for himself and the other guy.

00:51:00.040 Where's the justice in that?

00:51:03.640 Remember, there are two struggling guys here.

00:51:07.060 So, you choose to help one at the expense of the other?

00:51:12.580 Never mind the fact that only a certain portion of renters actually did lose the ability to pay their rent because of COVID.

00:51:17.820 We seem to have forgotten this in general, that not everyone lost income during, a lot of people did, not everyone.

00:51:27.580 In fact, most people didn't.

00:51:30.560 The unemployment rate got really high, but it never got anywhere near above 50%.

00:51:35.420 So, the vast majority of people are basically in the same financial situation now that they were a year ago.

00:51:43.980 The majority still have a job, didn't lose any significant income last year.

00:51:50.020 The eviction moratorium excuses even employed renters with plenty of money in the bank from paying their bills.

00:51:56.440 It puts all that extra burden on the landlord for literally no reason.

00:52:01.320 The eviction ban could have at least said that unemployed renters are excused, but instead it excuses everyone.

00:52:09.060 Again, for no reason.

00:52:11.740 For the majority of renters, there is no reason why they can't or shouldn't pay their rent.

00:52:18.660 Then what happens when the landlords can no longer afford the properties that the renters are living in?

00:52:24.760 Well, they go bankrupt.

00:52:27.460 And then they lose those properties.

00:52:29.060 What happens then?

00:52:30.400 In many cases, the bank takes over.

00:52:32.240 Yeah, yeah, the little guy really benefits here if by the little guy we mean the banks.

00:52:38.880 In the long run, the effect is that there will be fewer landlords renting out fewer properties,

00:52:43.900 which means fewer living options for people who cannot afford to buy or don't want to buy.

00:52:49.400 This, while even more power and wealth is transferred to the banks.

00:52:53.340 And that's what the lockdowns have really wrought.

00:52:55.200 And that's why the lockdowns were really put in place in the first place.

00:52:59.760 So that the wealthy and powerful could become more wealthy and more powerful.

00:53:04.060 And I don't mean landlords when I say wealthy and powerful.

00:53:06.840 I mean banks, government agencies, the CDC.

00:53:12.280 They make out literally like bandits.

00:53:15.460 But as we covered at the beginning, the left is on the side of the wealthy and powerful.

00:53:18.720 So it's no surprise to see them cheering along again in this case.

00:53:21.560 And that is why, once again, and I hope it sticks this time, but I have my doubts.

00:53:27.580 The CDC is canceled.

00:53:30.520 And we'll leave it there for today.
