The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 827 - The Disgraceful Political Show Trial Of Kyle Rittenhouse

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, as the Kyle Rittenhouse case heads to trial next week,

00:00:03.880 we'll talk about the people who should really be standing trial for everything that happened

00:00:07.160 in Kenosha last summer. Also, the Daily Wire breaks major news that could be the nail in

00:00:11.220 the McAuliffe campaign's coffin. And more damning information has come out about the

00:00:15.260 armorer on the set of that Alec Baldwin movie. Was this a diversity hire gone wrong? Plus,

00:00:20.460 an Instagram influencer poses for selfies next to her father's coffin. And in our daily

00:00:24.380 cancellation, I'm afraid I must cancel many of you in the audience. I don't want to do it,

00:00:28.840 but I have no choice. All of that and much more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:42.540 As we survey the scorched and barren landscape of America circa 2021, you may arrive at the

00:00:49.720 conclusion that the people running this show have done, you know, less than a stellar job. You may

00:00:55.160 even say that President Biden, though still very early in his tenure, is already making a run for

00:01:00.420 the title of worst president ever. He presents a compelling case for himself. Gas prices are

00:01:05.000 skyrocketing. Grocery store shelves are empty. Our cities are gripped by historic levels of violence

00:01:10.200 and crime. The FBI terrorizes parents at school board meetings. Our military worries about diversity

00:01:15.320 and inclusion. And the State Department celebrates Pronouns Day while China strengthens its empire across the 0.61

00:01:20.880 globe. And although Biden promised to assume office and shut down the coronavirus, it has,

00:01:26.660 in fact, killed more people under his watch than it did under Trump. All of this, and we haven't even

00:01:30.940 mentioned the 13 U.S. service members killed in Afghanistan, all of it would seem to add up to,

00:01:36.280 if not the worst first year in presidential history, certainly very close to the top of the list

00:01:41.340 in the conversation for the title. But then again, in the interest of balance and fairness,

00:01:46.980 we must acknowledge Joe Biden's one achievement, and it's a major one. Incredibly, although he is

00:01:52.900 a barely sentient lump of Play-Doh, Biden has still managed somehow to achieve one historic feat.

00:02:00.260 And that is that he solved systemic racism. You might not have noticed, but he did. It's a pretty big

00:02:06.720 deal. I would hope you would agree. Admittedly, you know, I have no direct evidence that Biden

00:02:12.000 solved systemic racism, or even that there was any systemic racism to solve in the first place, but

00:02:17.680 there's a very good circumstantial case that can be made. Consider this. In Trump's tenure,

00:02:23.300 mostly during the election season, coincidentally, every police shooting of a black suspect was the

00:02:29.280 result of racism, which is why it was necessary for BLM to riot continuously for six months.

00:02:34.400 Every shooting was a big deal, you might recall. It was a major topic of conversation.

00:02:38.900 It was all the media focused on for months. And then amazingly, almost miraculously,

00:02:46.040 Joe Biden took office in January of this year. And ever since then, there has not been one BLM riot.

00:02:54.080 Nobody is talking about police shootings anymore. It's not because there haven't been any. The numbers

00:02:59.060 this year are about what they were last year, but apparently it would seem that none of these

00:03:03.200 shootings are racism related. Every shooting under Trump during the campaign was racism. None of them

00:03:09.380 under Biden are racism. Wow. Either that or BLM stopped caring about racism entirely. Either that

00:03:16.720 or the whole police brutality panic was always a political ploy and BLM are a bunch of evil, underhanded, 1.00

00:03:22.780 duplicitous, fraudulent, race hustling hacks. You know, those are kind of the option. And on second 0.97

00:03:27.120 thought, maybe that third option might be the right one. In any case, memories of those ancient days are

00:03:33.300 now coming back to the surface as the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse is set to commence next week.

00:03:39.720 Rittenhouse is, of course, the young man who shot three attackers, two fatally during the riots in

00:03:44.200 Kenosha in the summer of 2020, back when systemic racism existed. It's relevant to note that those riots

00:03:50.140 were sparked, ostensibly, by the shooting of Jacob Blake by Officer Rustin Shesky. Blake was shot after

00:03:57.580 accosting a woman who he'd previously allegedly raped and then fighting with police while armed

00:04:01.900 with a knife and finally trying to climb into a car that was not his while children were sitting in

00:04:05.900 the back seat. Officer Shesky was cleared by local prosecutors and by Biden's DOJ. The latter was

00:04:14.200 announced just a few weeks ago with little notice paid to it. Did you even hear about that?

00:04:19.000 Even Biden's DOJ couldn't find any charges to hang on Shesky and not for lack of trying.

00:04:27.340 But he was so, you know, his actions were so utterly and unassailably justified and Blake was

00:04:33.660 so clearly the bad guy and the aggressor in the situation that even the people over the DOJ under

00:04:39.060 Biden couldn't find anything to do with this case other than let it quietly go away. Be that as it may,

00:04:45.060 riots broke out or rather continued and Rittenhouse who arrived on the scene to try and help protect

00:04:50.340 property owners from the rampant destruction being visited upon them by the unchecked mob

00:04:55.780 eventually was forced to use his weapon in self-defense. And it was indeed self-defense.

00:05:01.300 Okay. It was not just, in fact, it was not just self-defense, but it was one of the clearest cut

00:05:06.020 cases of self-defense that you will ever see on film. That's not an exaggeration. Video footage

00:05:13.060 proves incontrovertibly that Rittenhouse was being pursued, attacked by violent mobs who had made

00:05:20.460 their intentions clear both by word and deed. Rittenhouse can be seen trying first to flee

00:05:26.100 and only resorting to deadly force when he had no other choice. To say that it was not self-defense is

00:05:32.340 to say that Rittenhouse had a legal obligation to submit himself to the mob, trusting, I guess,

00:05:38.100 that they'll only beat him severely and not go beyond that. In fact, the case against Rittenhouse

00:05:43.620 is so flimsy that the prosecutors themselves, while trying to make the case against him,

00:05:50.160 can't help but accidentally vindicate him. So yesterday in a pretrial hearing, Kenosha County

00:05:55.020 Circuit Court Judge Bruce Schroeder ruled that prosecutors may not refer to the dead rioters as victims.

00:06:01.760 And this has led to a major temper tantrum among leftists online, as you can imagine.

00:06:06.520 But the ruling makes sense. To call them victims is to assume that they were murdered.

00:06:11.340 But murder is what the prosecution must prove, so it can't be assumed ahead of time.

00:06:16.840 Yet the judge will allow, and the left, you know they love this detail even more,

00:06:21.180 the judge will allow the defense to call the dead rioters rioters and looters and arsonists,

00:06:26.580 though only during closing arguments if they present evidence that the labels are accurate,

00:06:30.480 which they are. Here is the prosecution protesting this decision and explaining,

00:06:36.820 you know, why they have a problem with it. But listen to what is actually being said here. Listen.

00:06:43.840 What I'm hearing the defense say is, for example, Mr. Rosenbaum started fires that night.

00:06:51.180 Well, that has nothing to do with the allegation that he chased after Mr. Rittenhouse and tried to

00:06:56.820 physically attack him. Arsonists or alleged arson has nothing to do with an alleged physical assault.

00:07:03.300 There is an argument that Mr. Rosenbaum was shouting racial slurs.

00:07:09.640 That has nothing to do with a physical assault.

00:07:12.740 There is an allegation that he is telling other people at Ultimate Gas Station to shoot him,

00:07:18.540 which clearly is different than what was going on with Mr. Rittenhouse.

00:07:23.660 He clearly didn't want Mr. Rittenhouse to shoot him, so I don't see that there's any commonality there.

00:07:29.040 So this is bad character evidence, Your Honor. This is an attempt to tell the jury Mr. Rosenbaum's a bad guy

00:07:35.780 and deserved to die. That's really what it is. He was an arsonist. He was a rioter. 0.99

00:07:39.960 He was starting fights. He was not starting fights. He was starting problems. He was disorderly.

00:07:44.580 He was loud. He was whatever. Therefore, it was okay for the defendant to kill him.

00:07:51.360 So that's really what's going on here, Your Honor. And that's not at all what 90404 allows.

00:07:56.880 Yeah, well, the prosecutor really laid that out well, didn't he? I mean,

00:08:00.040 one of the quote-unquote victims, Rosenbaum, was an out-of-control violent rioter who did pursue

00:08:05.980 Kyle Rittenhouse, did try to whip up a mob. And by the way, he was also a sex offender charged with

00:08:10.620 molesting a minor. Many of these facts are directly relevant and the rest are indirectly relevant

00:08:15.520 because they established what sort of man this quote-unquote victim was, which lends more credence

00:08:21.020 to Rittenhouse's version of events, though the most credence comes from the video footage,

00:08:25.820 which is, again, already decisive and exculpatory. You'll notice that the mindless hordes calling for

00:08:31.400 Rittenhouse's head, they don't have any interest in talking about the actual events of that night

00:08:35.500 because they know that the events themselves absolve the defendant of any wrongdoing. Instead,

00:08:39.880 they say that Rittenhouse shouldn't have been there in the first place.

00:08:43.480 And they make a big deal about the fact that he crossed state lines.

00:08:45.900 Every post you see from someone on that side of this online about the Rittenhouse, every single

00:08:52.220 one in all capsules, he crossed state lines. He crossed state lines. Well, so what?

00:08:58.460 What they don't mention is that the kid worked in Kenosha. It's not as though he traveled hundreds

00:09:03.760 of miles by plane, train, automobile to get there. Even if he did, I'm not sure I see what the relevance

00:09:08.940 would be. But he worked in the community. He was very much a community member. Earlier,

00:09:14.860 he had been helping clean up graffiti. He was more of a community member and more involved and more

00:09:20.220 concerned about his community than any of those rioters. Hands down. So he belonged there as much

00:09:28.300 as anybody else on the street that night. Though you might say that none of them belong there

00:09:33.720 because none of it should have happened. And on that point, you'd be correct.

00:09:39.680 Kyle Rittenhouse should not have felt the need to patrol the street with a gun.

00:09:44.060 Not because there was no need, but because there should not have been a need.

00:09:48.420 The BLM mobs never should have been allowed to reign terror and destruction for weeks and months on end. 0.99

00:09:54.300 In response to a police shooting that was completely justified.

00:10:01.140 The police should have done their jobs. They should have been allowed to do the jobs.

00:10:04.860 Those in charge of establishing and enforcing law and order should have done so.

00:10:09.540 They're the ones to blame for all this ultimately.

00:10:12.340 So if anyone should be on trial in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, it shouldn't be Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:10:16.440 It should be the mayor of Kenosha and the governor of Wisconsin.

00:10:20.060 They ought to be standing there in chains, facing a lifetime in prison for handing their city over to thugs and looters

00:10:25.940 and abandoning their citizens to the violence and chaos that inevitably followed.

00:10:31.600 Rittenhouse went to Kenosha that night to do what they would not do.

00:10:36.080 He was attacked and had to defend himself in the process, making him a victim in this story.

00:10:41.800 And now his victimhood is compounded by this politically motivated show trial.

00:10:46.500 So in the end, you know, you might say that the left is correct.

00:10:48.820 That it will be an outrage if Kyle Rittenhouse just walks away from all this a free man.

00:10:55.240 Because he should walk away a free and rich man after suing for malicious prosecution.

00:11:00.320 That would be true justice in this case.

00:11:04.580 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:05.860 OK, I just want to show this quickly before we get to the headlines right at the top here, because it is pretty outrageous.

00:11:18.700 Biba Adams, who's a reporter, brings this to our attention.

00:11:23.600 Let's pull up the tweet.

00:11:25.240 So she was at Walmart and she here it is.

00:11:28.600 She says, this is a toy tank, like for kids to ride in.

00:11:32.580 Who the F wants to buy kids a tank? 0.97

00:11:34.840 Never mind.

00:11:35.320 I know who.

00:11:36.320 And yes, this is Walmart.

00:11:37.540 And then she she censors the word Walmart, which is a vulgarity now, I suppose.

00:11:42.540 So so she it's it's this giant toy tank.

00:11:45.400 That I guess is that the kids can ride in.

00:11:49.680 And I have to say, this is terrible.

00:11:51.160 I am I am stunned.

00:11:53.020 It makes me sick with anger.

00:11:56.540 Because why didn't they have something like this when I was a kid?

00:11:59.420 Why didn't we have toys as cool as this?

00:12:02.540 It drives me crazy.

00:12:03.680 I'm fuming over it.

00:12:05.980 Every time I go to the toy section to get my kids a toy, I'm looking around.

00:12:09.900 I'm getting I'm getting mad because where was all this stuff when I was a kid?

00:12:13.800 Apparently that that thing actually fires a Nerf balls as well. 0.86

00:12:17.860 So it's kind of functional, which is awesome.

00:12:20.340 I'll tell you my one objection to toys like this.

00:12:22.760 This is my only one.

00:12:25.080 It's not that it encourages violence or whatever it is.

00:12:29.800 It is as a parent that that's the kind of thing you get for your kid.

00:12:35.180 And it's awesome.

00:12:36.120 And it's amazing.

00:12:37.500 And you would have loved it when you were a kid.

00:12:39.580 And you get it and you give it to them and they're super excited.

00:12:42.680 And they use it once and they love it and they're thrilled and they never use it again.

00:12:48.180 That's that's the way that always goes.

00:12:52.340 How many just every single holiday as a parent, you go through this.

00:12:56.640 In fact, just last year, I got my kids this.

00:12:59.160 It wasn't as cool as the tank, but I got them this really this really neat.

00:13:02.780 And this is how I sold it to him.

00:13:03.940 I said, this is really neat, guys.

00:13:05.460 A really neat remote control car.

00:13:07.460 And I had remote control cars when I was a kid.

00:13:08.960 But this thing was it was like top speeds.

00:13:11.460 It would go like 60 miles an hour.

00:13:12.720 That's probably an exaggeration, but it would go really fast.

00:13:14.720 It could go on any terrain.

00:13:15.900 It could flip over and keep going.

00:13:18.060 It had little lasers and lights.

00:13:19.660 It could play music.

00:13:20.360 It was the coolest thing.

00:13:21.820 And I take them outside.

00:13:23.420 You know, and first I'm playing with remote control first just to make sure it's safe.

00:13:26.340 You know, I said I got to play with it for 10 minutes just to make sure it doesn't explode or anything.

00:13:30.420 I just want to make sure it's safe.

00:13:31.180 And it's the coolest thing ever.

00:13:33.920 And, you know, then my sons are playing with it a little bit.

00:13:36.620 And then they run off to the woods and they come back and they say, Daddy, look what we found.

00:13:43.060 A really pointy stick.

00:13:44.520 And they have a pointy stick.

00:13:45.560 And then that's what they play with.

00:13:46.480 They don't care about the remote control car anymore.

00:13:48.100 So that's my problem with the tank.

00:13:50.320 But other than that, that is, I want to thank Beba Adams for pointing us in that direction.

00:13:57.260 Maybe they make them for adults.

00:13:58.380 I guess that would just be a regular tank.

00:13:59.840 So here's what, let's talk about Virginia and the campaign.

00:14:06.560 We'll start with this.

00:14:07.340 Here's what Terry McAuliffe was doing last night.

00:14:11.200 And I'm going to make you watch this as punishment. 1.00

00:14:14.420 It's really punishment for watching my show rather than just listening to it like a normal podcast listener.

00:14:19.500 So here he is with Joe Biden.

00:14:21.040 Let's play this.

00:14:23.520 There he is dancing.

00:14:26.960 Yeah.

00:14:29.840 This is penance that you have to watch that.

00:14:33.020 It's penance for the audience.

00:14:35.080 So play it one more time.

00:14:36.060 Make him watch it again.

00:14:37.680 Look at those moves. 0.94

00:14:41.700 He's like your drunk, creepy uncle trying to hula hoop or something.

00:14:47.080 Look, if you can't dance, then don't. 0.93

00:14:50.120 All right.

00:14:53.760 Especially not on, this is the kind of arrogance that these people have in the bubble that they've lived in.

00:15:02.820 Because this is not the first time that Terry McAuliffe has done this.

00:15:05.680 He gets on stages and dances all the time.

00:15:07.960 Nobody's ever sat him down and said, listen, Terry, this is awful.

00:15:11.260 You're traumatizing people.

00:15:12.380 Will you stop it?

00:15:13.700 Every time you dance, you drop five points in the polls.

00:15:16.240 Nobody tells him.

00:15:19.080 I think probably bigger news, though, from Terry McAuliffe is this exclusive from The Daily Wire.

00:15:25.480 It says a law firm that employed Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe has made a cottage industry out of aggressively fighting victims of alleged sexual abuse in schools,

00:15:34.280 being paid handsomely to defend school systems that the girls say failed to protect them. 1.00

00:15:39.160 In one case, the Hunton-Andrews-Kirth law firm, where McAuliffe served as a senior advisor for 2019 as well recently,

00:15:46.960 is battling a young woman who says that, and this is horrific, says that she was repeatedly raped on her Fairfax County middle school campus

00:15:54.060 as a 12-year-old and that she was slashed with a knife, burned with a lighter, and anally penetrated.

00:16:02.260 The law firm and McAuliffe's campaign refused to comment on whether the law firm still employs McAuliffe by the deadline,

00:16:08.400 but McAuliffe reported income apparently linked to the firm in 2021 after announcing his run for governor of Virginia on December 8, 2020.

00:16:16.320 Later, advertisements from the firm for McAuliffe fundraisers referred to McAuliffe as a former colleague.

00:16:20.660 The girl said she was afraid of having a real name attached to the case because one of her alleged tormentors

00:16:27.080 had threatened to kill her if she came forward.

00:16:29.380 The McAuliffe-linked law firm is seeking to have the case thrown out because it was filed under a pseudonym,

00:16:33.800 even though there's no dispute that the school system knows who she is.

00:16:37.200 In a separate case, and I can't read this, you've got to go to Daily Wire and read the entire story,

00:16:41.140 but I'll read one more example here. It's a long story, it's an important story.

00:16:44.800 A girl alleged that the FCPS administrators were told of an unwanted sexual incident on a band trip

00:16:49.940 a school security officer told her there was no point in seeking criminal charges

00:16:53.440 and the school gave an award to her alleged abuser.

00:16:59.120 Hutton told the court that the school system lost documentation showing its investigation of the allegations

00:17:03.120 in part because it was not using a sexual harassment allegation database

00:17:06.360 that it had promised to use pursuant to a federal settlement in the other girl's case.

00:17:10.520 Okay, so if you're wondering, as I've been telling you about,

00:17:15.320 and again, you can go to dailywire.com and see the entire story there.

00:17:19.340 It's another exclusive story.

00:17:20.840 As we're doing, we're doing more investigative pieces like this,

00:17:26.460 going out and covering the stories that the corporate media will not cover.

00:17:30.660 This is real news, real news stories.

00:17:33.580 And yet another reason why, by the way, you should subscribe and become a member.

00:17:37.540 And if you do that right now, go to dailywire.com slash subscribe and use promo code real news.

00:17:42.160 You can become a member of Daily Wire that way.

00:17:45.680 But if you're wondering, the reason why this story is so important,

00:17:50.480 aside from the fact that Terry McAuliffe is trying to become the governor of Virginia

00:17:54.000 at a time when they have a crisis in the school system with a lack of accountability,

00:17:57.920 and this is someone who wants to become the governor who's partly responsible for that lack of accountability.

00:18:02.860 But the other thing that makes this so important is that,

00:18:05.940 as I've been telling you about the epidemic of sexual abuse in the school system,

00:18:12.620 one of the reasons why we don't hear about it,

00:18:19.020 because of guys like Terry McAuliffe and the people in the law firm

00:18:23.280 and the tricks that the school system plays,

00:18:26.880 not just in Loudoun County,

00:18:29.280 but across the country.

00:18:34.280 You know, I told you about that AP report.

00:18:36.260 This was every once in a while, you know,

00:18:38.680 the corporate media will do some real investigation or report some real news.

00:18:42.720 And so a few years ago, the AP did a report

00:18:45.240 about sexual abuse on public school campuses

00:18:48.740 by students on other students.

00:18:52.320 And then you've got teacher on student sexual abuse,

00:18:55.260 which is a whole other category.

00:18:56.660 And there's thousands of such cases

00:18:58.260 and millions of, literally millions of victims of that.

00:19:01.800 But the AP, when they thought to look into it a few years ago,

00:19:05.580 they found that in, that through the previous few years,

00:19:09.400 there had been something like 17,000 cases.

00:19:13.300 17,000.

00:19:15.760 Just in that few year window

00:19:17.300 and just student on student abuse.

00:19:19.360 This stuff is very common.

00:19:23.960 Very common.

00:19:26.360 But we don't find out about it.

00:19:28.020 And this is one of the reasons.

00:19:30.420 All the different ways of

00:19:32.040 hiding it from the public.

00:19:35.420 It's all about how they categorize these incidents,

00:19:38.200 whether they choose to pursue it

00:19:40.120 and pursue legal action.

00:19:41.740 And then you also have kids

00:19:46.380 who, like the girl in the story,

00:19:48.760 are terrified to come forward.

00:19:52.540 I mean, think about

00:19:53.200 all these Me Too cases we heard about.

00:19:57.820 And the question was,

00:19:59.160 well, how did, you know,

00:20:01.420 how did Weinstein manage to do this

00:20:05.400 for decades

00:20:06.880 without anyone coming,

00:20:09.460 really coming forward

00:20:10.380 and saying anything about it?

00:20:12.400 All of these,

00:20:13.140 all these victims,

00:20:14.240 all these women who fell victim to it. 0.81

00:20:16.660 I mean, why did they come forward

00:20:17.660 and say anything?

00:20:18.220 Why did it go on for decades?

00:20:20.660 And the reason that we're given is that,

00:20:22.160 well, they were afraid to do it.

00:20:23.080 They felt intimidated.

00:20:24.800 They were worried about their Hollywood careers

00:20:26.420 and so forth.

00:20:28.900 Well, if that's the case for adults,

00:20:30.420 what about 12 and 13-year-old girls

00:20:34.780 in middle school and high school

00:20:36.780 who fall victim to this?

00:20:39.720 And they've got no one advocating for them,

00:20:44.220 no one on their side.

00:20:46.560 What hope do they have?

00:20:49.360 So this is a major story.

00:20:50.720 This is a major far-reaching story

00:20:52.260 across the country.

00:20:54.140 And here at The Daily Wire,

00:20:55.540 we're going to continue to pursue that

00:20:56.900 and let you know about it.

00:20:58.220 So meanwhile, Terry McAuliffe

00:21:00.580 doesn't care about the students 0.82

00:21:01.720 who are raped in Loudoun County schools

00:21:03.720 or in any other schools,

00:21:05.020 but the students themselves certainly care.

00:21:07.240 And that's why hundreds of students

00:21:08.940 across Loudoun County,

00:21:10.560 we have some footage here,

00:21:11.860 staged a walkout yesterday

00:21:13.360 because of Loudoun County's cover-up

00:21:16.280 of rapes of students,

00:21:18.120 multiple rapes of students

00:21:19.080 in the Loudoun County school system.

00:21:20.860 So you can see there,

00:21:22.060 and it wasn't just one school.

00:21:23.080 There were multiple schools

00:21:23.800 where the kids walked out.

00:21:27.040 You see it here.

00:21:28.220 Well, once again,

00:21:30.440 if you go to corporate media

00:21:31.320 for your news coverage,

00:21:32.380 you probably didn't know this happened.

00:21:35.080 So I want you to compare,

00:21:36.760 here we've got hundreds

00:21:37.620 of high school students

00:21:39.720 walking out

00:21:40.940 because of the sexual abuse 0.94

00:21:43.020 and rape of their fellow classmates 0.92

00:21:45.460 in school during school hours.

00:21:48.220 So compare the media coverage of that,

00:21:50.400 which was nil,

00:21:51.240 there was basically no coverage,

00:21:52.500 to the few dozen weirdos

00:21:57.280 who walked out of Netflix headquarters

00:22:00.200 because Dave Chappelle

00:22:02.140 told some jokes

00:22:03.100 that made their tummies hurt. 1.00

00:22:05.320 Corporate media,

00:22:06.160 three weeks of coverage for that

00:22:07.380 and still ongoing.

00:22:11.800 I mean,

00:22:12.440 at the actual walkout at Netflix,

00:22:14.360 there were far more news cameras

00:22:16.320 than there were people walking out.

00:22:17.880 But these kids,

00:22:21.600 there's some local coverage

00:22:22.980 and then you're hearing about it

00:22:23.940 from conservative media,

00:22:25.060 but that's it.

00:22:28.040 Because this is simply not

00:22:29.320 a conversation that

00:22:30.480 the corporate media wants to have.

00:22:34.100 Okay,

00:22:34.520 what else do we have here?

00:22:35.400 We'll stay on the school board issue

00:22:37.840 for a minute.

00:22:39.260 As we know,

00:22:39.940 it's not just a problem

00:22:40.680 in Loudoun County.

00:22:41.800 Here's a Minnesota school board

00:22:43.960 which has instated new rules

00:22:45.760 to stop those domestic terrorist parents

00:22:48.520 from raining terror

00:22:49.620 at the school board meetings.

00:22:52.100 Here's Jody Sapp.

00:22:53.740 She's a school board member.

00:22:55.920 And here she is explaining

00:22:56.980 the new rules.

00:22:57.620 Listen.

00:22:58.860 I just want to remind everyone

00:23:00.160 this is a business meeting

00:23:01.900 of the school board.

00:23:03.360 It is not a meeting

00:23:04.680 that belongs to the public.

00:23:06.400 Each speaker is asked

00:23:07.680 to state his or her name

00:23:08.960 and address for the record.

00:23:10.600 Failure to do so

00:23:11.380 will result in an individual.

00:23:14.040 This is a meeting of the,

00:23:16.340 this is not a meeting

00:23:17.120 for the public.

00:23:18.560 She says this meeting

00:23:19.560 does not belong to the public.

00:23:22.900 No, Jody.

00:23:25.580 I got news for you.

00:23:27.140 The entire public school system

00:23:28.680 is supposed to belong

00:23:30.460 to the public.

00:23:31.500 It is all public concern.

00:23:33.080 All of it.

00:23:36.180 That's why we call it

00:23:36.920 the public school system.

00:23:40.540 But this is how they feel about it.

00:23:41.720 This is,

00:23:42.420 as parents,

00:23:43.240 this is simply

00:23:43.880 not your business.

00:23:45.880 And if you're going to intrude

00:23:47.000 in our business,

00:23:48.080 which is deciding

00:23:49.720 what your kids

00:23:50.380 are going to be taught

00:23:51.040 and how they're treated

00:23:52.180 and whether they're,

00:23:54.000 and whether their sexual abuse

00:23:56.040 will be reported to police

00:23:56.920 and all that,

00:23:57.540 if you want to intrude

00:23:58.220 in our business,

00:23:58.800 then you got to follow our rules.

00:23:59.920 We're going to make it

00:24:00.280 as hard for you as possible.

00:24:02.120 So here she is

00:24:02.820 explaining the rules.

00:24:03.460 Keep playing.

00:24:04.420 Not being allowed to speak.

00:24:06.460 John, can you give us

00:24:07.280 your name and address, please?

00:24:08.360 My name is John Wickland.

00:24:09.580 I live in Mankato.

00:24:10.640 Could I get your address, please, John?

00:24:12.660 I'd rather not,

00:24:13.760 since you guys have it already.

00:24:15.420 Don't give your address.

00:24:15.980 You can't speak.

00:24:18.660 And I get so much

00:24:19.900 property damage

00:24:21.000 and eggs

00:24:21.660 and everything else

00:24:22.580 from fun people

00:24:24.680 and their friends.

00:24:26.480 John, you need to give

00:24:27.720 your address.

00:24:28.300 I live on 5th Street.

00:24:30.080 Excuse me?

00:24:30.760 I live on 5th Street.

00:24:32.560 House number?

00:24:39.960 You gave us house number.

00:24:41.340 Thank you.

00:24:41.960 All right.

00:24:43.620 So are our kids safe?

00:24:48.620 Effective tonight,

00:24:49.360 the school board

00:24:50.440 will enforce

00:24:51.080 the following guidelines.

00:24:53.160 Open forum participants

00:24:54.520 are prohibited

00:24:55.440 from calling out

00:24:56.440 or addressing

00:24:57.080 any individual school board

00:24:58.820 or school district staff member.

00:25:01.860 If this occurs,

00:25:02.760 open forum will be closed

00:25:04.040 and the individual

00:25:05.280 will not be allowed

00:25:06.080 to participate

00:25:06.700 in future open forums.

00:25:08.880 Crowd noise

00:25:09.680 or any sort of grandstanding

00:25:11.480 during open forum,

00:25:12.680 including applause,

00:25:14.280 talking, hollering,

00:25:15.840 or any outbursts

00:25:16.800 will result in open forum

00:25:18.520 being closed.

00:25:20.760 Further,

00:25:21.780 beginning at the November 1st

00:25:23.280 school board meeting,

00:25:24.620 open forum participation

00:25:25.660 will be limited

00:25:26.520 to those individuals

00:25:27.420 who wish to speak

00:25:28.420 to an item

00:25:29.340 on the board agenda.

00:25:30.980 The board agenda

00:25:31.780 is always made available

00:25:33.160 the Thursday prior

00:25:34.580 to our meetings

00:25:36.460 and they're always

00:25:37.860 on the district website. 0.94

00:25:39.040 this evil wench. 1.00

00:25:44.120 They all look exactly 0.98

00:25:45.100 the same, by the way.

00:25:46.300 All of the little

00:25:47.180 mini, petty, 0.98

00:25:49.500 bulbous tyrants 0.99

00:25:50.880 that are running 0.99

00:25:51.380 our schools,

00:25:51.820 they all look exactly

00:25:52.620 the same.

00:25:53.260 They're like,

00:25:53.800 there's like a uniform

00:25:55.380 for these people

00:25:56.160 and they all,

00:25:57.560 they are so mad

00:25:59.760 that parents are there

00:26:02.600 taking an interest

00:26:03.940 in what they're doing

00:26:04.720 and trying to exert

00:26:08.420 some actual influence

00:26:09.840 over the school system

00:26:11.180 and speaking up

00:26:12.860 for their own kids.

00:26:13.440 They are so angry

00:26:14.540 about it.

00:26:17.220 And that's why

00:26:18.280 this,

00:26:19.860 the response here

00:26:21.180 has to be

00:26:21.960 show up,

00:26:23.020 show up,

00:26:23.700 get louder

00:26:24.180 at the school board meetings,

00:26:25.580 keep showing up,

00:26:27.220 more and more people

00:26:28.440 keep doing exactly

00:26:29.620 what they don't want you

00:26:30.320 to do

00:26:30.640 and don't stop.

00:26:33.520 That's my one fear

00:26:34.820 about this school board,

00:26:38.020 you know,

00:26:38.700 movement right now

00:26:39.680 is that,

00:26:41.040 is that it will,

00:26:41.700 it will just stop

00:26:42.400 and fade away

00:26:42.920 and go away. 0.96

00:26:44.180 And we have,

00:26:45.220 let's be honest,

00:26:45.700 we have a history

00:26:46.160 of that on the right.

00:26:47.600 Not just on the right,

00:26:48.400 but in our culture

00:26:49.120 where people generally

00:26:50.520 have the memories

00:26:51.280 of, you know,

00:26:53.060 field mice or something

00:26:54.040 and they,

00:26:56.320 a couple days later,

00:26:57.280 it's like it never happened.

00:26:57.980 You move on

00:26:58.380 to the next thing.

00:26:59.680 Always,

00:27:00.040 always chasing

00:27:00.840 the next shiny object.

00:27:03.320 There are a lot of things

00:27:04.300 for us to focus on

00:27:05.100 in this culture,

00:27:05.560 a lot of battles

00:27:06.100 worth having,

00:27:06.740 but this one

00:27:07.460 has to continue.

00:27:10.160 Because if two months

00:27:11.080 from now

00:27:11.520 we're looking back

00:27:12.620 on this and saying,

00:27:13.220 hey,

00:27:13.360 remember when everyone

00:27:13.960 was showing up

00:27:14.360 to those school board meetings?

00:27:15.140 That was nice.

00:27:16.840 If that's what we're saying

00:27:17.480 two months from now,

00:27:18.040 then none of this

00:27:18.520 will matter.

00:27:22.100 We have to be relentless

00:27:23.180 and consistent.

00:27:25.620 And that's been

00:27:26.320 one of our big downfalls,

00:27:27.820 I think,

00:27:28.060 in the conservative movement.

00:27:30.040 He's a lack

00:27:30.540 of consistency

00:27:31.160 and not being

00:27:32.400 nearly relentless enough.

00:27:35.540 So keep coming,

00:27:36.960 keep getting,

00:27:37.340 keep,

00:27:38.220 get louder and louder.

00:27:42.620 This is the lengths

00:27:43.580 they'll go to,

00:27:44.140 though.

00:27:45.600 They,

00:27:46.120 what Jody there 1.00

00:27:47.420 is saying is

00:27:47.940 you have to say

00:27:49.060 your address

00:27:50.020 into the microphone.

00:27:51.940 Like the guy

00:27:52.660 pointed out

00:27:53.280 when he was sitting there,

00:27:54.640 well,

00:27:55.020 you already know

00:27:55.460 the address.

00:27:56.460 You know the address.

00:27:57.780 There's no reason

00:27:58.540 why I have to say it.

00:28:00.320 The only reason

00:28:01.580 why the school board

00:28:02.560 would insist

00:28:03.180 that you say it

00:28:04.020 is to intimidate you.

00:28:06.160 That's the only reason.

00:28:07.320 They are trying

00:28:07.980 to get people hurt

00:28:09.020 and they,

00:28:10.580 they are,

00:28:11.060 they are indirectly

00:28:12.300 encouraging mobs

00:28:13.540 to show up

00:28:13.920 to these people's houses.

00:28:15.100 That's what they're doing.

00:28:16.660 There's no other reason

00:28:17.660 why you should have to say it.

00:28:18.580 And did she also say

00:28:23.120 at another point there

00:28:23.860 that no talking

00:28:25.400 is allowed?

00:28:29.460 I'm not exactly sure

00:28:30.420 how you're supposed

00:28:31.040 to voice your opinion

00:28:33.120 if you're not allowed

00:28:33.700 to talk.

00:28:34.140 I don't know,

00:28:34.640 maybe draw pictures.

00:28:36.780 Do a little Pictionary.

00:28:38.200 Sign language,

00:28:38.860 would that be okay?

00:28:41.260 All right.

00:28:41.820 Let's see.

00:28:44.640 This is some more information

00:28:46.880 from the set

00:28:48.320 of the Alec Baldwin movie

00:28:49.340 where that tragic shooting occurred.

00:28:51.600 It says,

00:28:52.140 Hannah Gutierrez-Reed,

00:28:53.600 the 24-year-old armorer

00:28:55.000 who handled weapons

00:28:56.420 on the set

00:28:56.720 of Alec Baldwin's Rust,

00:28:57.860 was the subject

00:28:58.340 of numerous complaints

00:28:59.380 on her previous film

00:29:00.480 just two months earlier

00:29:01.960 after she discharged weapons

00:29:03.120 without warning

00:29:03.700 and infuriated star

00:29:05.080 Nicholas Cage,

00:29:06.300 according to a crew member

00:29:07.120 who told The Wrap.

00:29:08.560 Stu Bromoff,

00:29:10.320 who served as key grip

00:29:12.900 on the Cage Western

00:29:13.980 The Old Way this summer,

00:29:15.260 told The Wrap

00:29:15.720 that Gutierrez upset

00:29:16.800 both Cage and other crew members

00:29:18.100 on Montana production

00:29:19.660 by failing to follow

00:29:20.700 basic gun safety protocols

00:29:21.980 like announcing the arrival

00:29:23.520 and usage of weapons

00:29:24.360 on the set.

00:29:25.780 After firing a gun

00:29:26.820 near the cast and crew

00:29:27.580 for a second time

00:29:28.340 in three days

00:29:29.160 without warning,

00:29:30.860 Cage yelled at her 1.00

00:29:31.720 saying,

00:29:32.500 make an announcement

00:29:32.920 you just blew

00:29:33.440 my effing eardrums out

00:29:34.640 before walking off

00:29:35.820 the set in a rage.

00:29:37.760 And then according

00:29:38.120 to other people

00:29:38.580 on the set,

00:29:39.280 they said,

00:29:40.240 this by the way

00:29:40.980 was her first film

00:29:43.060 where she had been

00:29:43.660 the armorer

00:29:44.560 and there were

00:29:45.860 other alleged incidents

00:29:47.120 where she was walking around

00:29:48.560 with guns

00:29:49.640 tucked under her arms,

00:29:52.180 holding guns,

00:29:53.420 got them tucked

00:29:53.780 under her arms.

00:29:55.740 You know,

00:29:55.880 like she's,

00:29:56.480 like they're a bunch of,

00:29:57.460 I don't know,

00:29:57.940 pillows or books

00:29:58.900 or something

00:29:59.300 and she's carrying them around

00:30:00.680 and then the barrels

00:30:02.740 of the guns

00:30:03.360 as she's walking around

00:30:04.180 end up pointing

00:30:04.720 at other people

00:30:05.320 and that's another

00:30:07.000 basic rule of gun safety

00:30:08.040 here is you can't

00:30:09.260 point the barrel

00:30:09.740 at anybody.

00:30:11.520 Now,

00:30:12.400 when you hear about

00:30:14.340 the armor on the set

00:30:16.740 who is supposed to be

00:30:18.800 in charge of gun safety

00:30:19.860 and making sure

00:30:20.500 that these guns

00:30:21.060 are safe

00:30:21.800 and ready to be used

00:30:23.000 in the film,

00:30:24.840 she's 24 years old,

00:30:27.160 no experience,

00:30:29.100 apparently,

00:30:29.860 according to what

00:30:30.320 we're hearing here, 0.91

00:30:31.360 incompetent,

00:30:33.920 previous complaints

00:30:35.620 and according,

00:30:38.440 again,

00:30:38.680 according to people

00:30:39.340 on the set,

00:30:40.320 they said that it was

00:30:40.880 recommended by people

00:30:41.640 on the set

00:30:42.600 that she should be let go,

00:30:43.960 she's not qualified

00:30:44.660 for this,

00:30:45.420 but then she ends up

00:30:47.540 working on another film

00:30:48.300 right after that

00:30:48.860 and you start to wonder,

00:30:51.980 like,

00:30:52.180 how did that happen?

00:30:53.340 Why did she get this job? 1.00

00:30:56.020 Now,

00:30:56.220 to be clear,

00:30:56.820 I don't think this is

00:30:57.900 primarily her fault.

00:30:58.720 I think that primarily

00:30:59.860 this falls on Alec Baldwin.

00:31:01.520 He's the one

00:31:02.100 who was holding the weapon.

00:31:03.640 He's the one

00:31:04.180 who pulled the trigger

00:31:04.740 and he's the one

00:31:06.380 who apparently

00:31:06.960 failed to check it,

00:31:08.140 which would have

00:31:08.500 just taken a second.

00:31:10.980 Just one second

00:31:12.820 of your time

00:31:13.380 to check the weapon

00:31:14.100 and save somebody's life

00:31:15.740 and he didn't do that

00:31:16.800 so this primarily

00:31:17.580 falls on him.

00:31:18.860 But obviously,

00:31:19.840 as the armorer,

00:31:20.660 this was a major failure

00:31:21.480 on her part.

00:31:22.440 You wonder,

00:31:23.360 how did she get this job?

00:31:25.940 And then I think back

00:31:28.380 to the new diversity rules

00:31:32.520 that were put in place

00:31:33.440 by the Academy Awards.

00:31:35.420 This was last year,

00:31:36.360 remember?

00:31:37.220 They said,

00:31:37.660 if you want to be eligible

00:31:38.580 for an Academy Award

00:31:39.540 and anytime they're making

00:31:41.460 a film in Hollywood,

00:31:42.120 they always want to be eligible

00:31:43.000 for an Academy Award.

00:31:44.140 There's a whole bunch

00:31:45.220 of diversity boxes

00:31:50.120 that you have to check.

00:31:52.040 And among them

00:31:53.020 is this.

00:31:55.040 I'm reading now

00:31:55.440 from the New York Times

00:31:56.100 back when this

00:31:57.140 was first announced.

00:31:59.580 It says,

00:32:00.000 at least one actor

00:32:00.920 from an underrepresented

00:32:01.900 racial or ethnic group

00:32:02.840 must be cast

00:32:03.480 in a significant role.

00:32:05.100 The story must center

00:32:06.300 on women,

00:32:07.040 LGBTQ people,

00:32:08.140 a racial or ethnic group,

00:32:09.260 or the disabled.

00:32:10.580 At least 30%

00:32:11.220 of the cast

00:32:11.640 must be actors

00:32:12.280 from at least two

00:32:13.080 of those four

00:32:13.700 underrepresented categories.

00:32:15.200 Now,

00:32:15.360 this is a category

00:32:18.740 Standard A.

00:32:20.160 And so you have to check

00:32:20.760 one of the boxes

00:32:21.480 from Standard A

00:32:22.580 in order to be eligible

00:32:24.200 for an Academy Award.

00:32:25.580 But then there's also

00:32:26.120 Standard B.

00:32:27.700 And you have to check

00:32:28.240 a box here, too.

00:32:29.220 And it says,

00:32:30.440 two or more department heads,

00:32:31.860 meaning jobs like director,

00:32:32.920 cinematographer,

00:32:33.480 or composer,

00:32:34.220 must be female, 1.00

00:32:35.340 LGBTQ, disabled,

00:32:36.880 or part of an underrepresented

00:32:37.820 racial or ethnic group.

00:32:39.160 At least six other crew members

00:32:40.580 must be from

00:32:41.140 an underrepresented group.

00:32:42.800 At least 30%

00:32:43.760 of the film's crew

00:32:44.560 must hail from the four 0.90

00:32:45.620 underrepresented groups

00:32:46.520 continually laid out

00:32:47.580 in these guidelines.

00:32:50.900 Hmm.

00:32:52.100 So it makes you wonder,

00:32:53.560 doesn't it?

00:32:54.200 Was this a matter

00:32:57.080 of box checking

00:32:57.980 on the part

00:32:59.900 of the producers

00:33:00.460 of this film, Rust?

00:33:03.980 It could have also

00:33:04.800 been nepotism.

00:33:06.760 Apparently,

00:33:07.320 this woman's father

00:33:08.980 has ties with Hollywood,

00:33:10.360 has been in Hollywood

00:33:10.900 for a long time.

00:33:12.100 Could be both.

00:33:14.860 But this would be

00:33:15.560 an interesting question

00:33:16.360 to explore,

00:33:17.020 wouldn't it?

00:33:18.340 It's just we know

00:33:18.900 the corporate media

00:33:19.400 won't explore it.

00:33:22.400 Was that a factor

00:33:23.980 this is far

00:33:27.320 from a stretch?

00:33:29.200 We know the Academy Award

00:33:30.600 less than a year ago

00:33:32.140 imposed rules,

00:33:34.060 arbitrary rules,

00:33:35.020 saying that

00:33:35.700 you have to have

00:33:36.580 a certain number

00:33:37.080 of females

00:33:37.720 on the crew.

00:33:41.100 And then,

00:33:42.140 shortly after that,

00:33:43.660 an apparently

00:33:44.500 unqualified, 0.99

00:33:45.680 incompetent, 0.99

00:33:47.000 way too young 0.98

00:33:47.740 for the job,

00:33:48.420 female,

00:33:48.760 was hired,

00:33:49.580 and someone is dead.

00:33:50.200 you don't have

00:33:52.340 to stretch very hard

00:33:53.380 to connect

00:33:53.820 those two things,

00:33:54.920 potentially.

00:33:56.760 Of course,

00:33:57.420 I don't really know

00:33:58.220 what went into

00:33:59.620 this decision-making

00:34:00.380 process here.

00:34:01.620 It would require

00:34:02.400 people in the media

00:34:03.540 with connections here

00:34:04.460 to follow this trail,

00:34:07.600 follow the breadcrumbs,

00:34:09.040 and they're not

00:34:09.360 going to do it.

00:34:10.280 But it's definitely

00:34:11.100 a question worth asking.

00:34:12.500 And whether

00:34:16.640 these two issues

00:34:17.300 are tied

00:34:17.720 in this case

00:34:18.320 or not,

00:34:19.480 it still underscores

00:34:21.460 how absurd

00:34:22.200 rules like these are.

00:34:25.680 Because

00:34:26.160 whatever the reason is

00:34:28.280 for this woman

00:34:29.780 to get the job

00:34:30.300 that she got,

00:34:31.780 it's pretty clear

00:34:32.600 she wasn't qualified 0.58

00:34:33.340 for it.

00:34:35.340 And it's also clear

00:34:36.520 that the only thing

00:34:37.660 that should matter

00:34:38.300 when someone

00:34:40.420 is applying for a job

00:34:41.140 is whether or not

00:34:41.760 they are qualified for it,

00:34:43.060 whether they can

00:34:43.760 do the job.

00:34:45.200 What they look like,

00:34:46.340 their demographics,

00:34:47.840 whether they belong

00:34:49.080 to an underrepresented group.

00:34:52.100 I'm not exactly sure

00:34:53.180 how you can call women

00:34:53.980 an underrepresented group

00:34:55.060 when they're,

00:34:55.560 you know,

00:34:55.760 more than half

00:34:56.240 of the world population.

00:34:59.540 But none of that

00:35:00.380 should matter at all

00:35:01.700 or should factor.

00:35:02.900 Okay,

00:35:03.320 this is from

00:35:03.660 the New York Post.

00:35:04.200 It says,

00:35:04.420 a fitness model

00:35:05.180 has been slammed online

00:35:06.560 after she shared

00:35:07.280 a series of photos

00:35:08.380 posing in front

00:35:09.400 of her father's coffin.

00:35:10.420 described by commentators

00:35:12.860 as sick,

00:35:13.940 vile, 1.00

00:35:14.200 and disgusting. 0.99

00:35:15.140 Jane Rivera 0.91

00:35:15.720 from Miami,

00:35:16.940 Florida is a TikTok star

00:35:18.060 who's gained popularity

00:35:19.200 through her fashion travel

00:35:20.240 in swimwear posts.

00:35:22.340 Last week,

00:35:22.680 she took to Instagram

00:35:23.460 revealing her father,

00:35:24.560 a veteran,

00:35:24.920 had passed away.

00:35:26.760 And then,

00:35:27.800 here she is

00:35:28.340 in the pictures.

00:35:28.920 We can see her

00:35:29.520 posing

00:35:32.020 in one picture there.

00:35:34.140 So,

00:35:34.360 she's right in front 0.99

00:35:35.080 of her dad's coffin.

00:35:35.980 In one picture,

00:35:36.500 she's actually,

00:35:37.400 I guess, 0.99

00:35:37.700 showing off her butt 1.00

00:35:38.480 right in front 1.00

00:35:39.340 of her dead father.

00:35:42.300 And there were

00:35:42.880 multiple pictures.

00:35:43.640 But now,

00:35:44.200 because of the reaction,

00:35:45.540 she's taken down 0.99

00:35:46.080 her Instagram page.

00:35:49.040 How out of touch

00:35:50.080 and what a bubble

00:35:50.720 these influencers live in.

00:35:53.380 Where she posed

00:35:54.320 for these selfies

00:35:55.400 in front of her dead father

00:35:57.300 and put them online

00:35:58.280 and was not expecting

00:35:59.200 anybody would be upset

00:36:00.040 about it.

00:36:00.960 People were upset

00:36:01.520 she took down 0.97

00:36:02.020 her whole page.

00:36:05.920 You know,

00:36:06.120 you see this kind of thing

00:36:06.980 and we see this a lot.

00:36:11.620 Influencers

00:36:11.940 or wannabe influencers

00:36:13.380 reacting to tragic situations

00:36:16.640 by, you know,

00:36:17.160 they want to get the selfie.

00:36:18.260 They want to,

00:36:18.660 they want to,

00:36:19.540 they want to mine it

00:36:20.480 for clicks and likes

00:36:21.400 and all of that.

00:36:24.000 And we,

00:36:24.560 we see this

00:36:25.220 and it's easy enough

00:36:25.900 to say,

00:36:26.360 oh,

00:36:26.560 it's just silly, 0.98

00:36:27.380 superficial, 1.00

00:36:27.980 stupid people, 1.00

00:36:28.640 which of course 1.00

00:36:29.180 that's part of it.

00:36:32.080 But there's a real,

00:36:33.260 I mean,

00:36:33.440 there's,

00:36:33.780 there's something

00:36:34.280 happening psychologically

00:36:35.600 to people

00:36:36.300 and young people

00:36:38.260 especially

00:36:38.720 who grow up online

00:36:39.920 and they become

00:36:41.080 so dependent

00:36:41.860 on affirmation

00:36:43.720 online

00:36:44.420 that they really 0.89

00:36:46.560 become sociopaths.

00:36:47.720 This is, 1.00

00:36:47.980 this is sociopathic

00:36:49.260 behavior

00:36:49.660 to respond

00:36:51.340 to your father's

00:36:52.260 death that way.

00:36:53.920 I mean,

00:36:54.420 for that to even be

00:36:55.120 something that enters

00:36:55.780 your mind,

00:36:56.760 but here's my father

00:36:57.500 laying in a coffin,

00:36:58.320 he's dead.

00:37:00.980 Let me get a quick sell.

00:37:02.080 This will be great

00:37:02.660 for Instagram.

00:37:03.240 There's a real

00:37:05.760 mental sickness

00:37:06.680 that is present

00:37:12.560 in a lot of people's

00:37:13.380 minds,

00:37:13.720 I think,

00:37:14.300 and that's pretty clear.

00:37:15.400 All right,

00:37:15.640 let's get now

00:37:16.120 to reading the comments.

00:37:16.960 Matthew St. Peter says,

00:37:34.340 I take comfort

00:37:34.900 in knowing

00:37:35.240 that Matt Walsh

00:37:35.820 would never put

00:37:36.300 the life of a dog

00:37:37.220 above the life

00:37:37.760 of a human,

00:37:38.940 especially after

00:37:39.540 his dog

00:37:40.020 ate his remote.

00:37:41.080 Yeah,

00:37:41.220 you know,

00:37:41.360 if I was going

00:37:41.640 to put any

00:37:42.140 animal life

00:37:42.940 over human life,

00:37:43.580 it wouldn't be dogs.

00:37:44.540 I think that's,

00:37:45.400 that's the thing.

00:37:45.820 I probably wouldn't

00:37:46.260 do it for any

00:37:46.660 animal life,

00:37:47.180 but dogs would not,

00:37:49.020 wouldn't make the cut.

00:37:50.120 Derek Wood says,

00:37:50.920 I'm out,

00:37:51.280 I'm outraged

00:37:51.900 about the cruelty

00:37:52.440 to the unborn

00:37:53.100 and to the cruelty

00:37:54.240 of man's best friend.

00:37:56.360 Both can be true

00:37:57.280 and both should be

00:37:57.840 investigated,

00:37:58.560 charged,

00:37:59.040 and led to the jail

00:38:00.460 time of all those

00:38:01.180 involved.

00:38:02.720 Jason Trimble says,

00:38:04.200 Jesus specifically

00:38:04.880 commands us to love

00:38:05.720 our neighbor as ourself,

00:38:07.040 who is our neighbor,

00:38:08.460 our family,

00:38:09.120 friends,

00:38:09.420 and those who interact,

00:38:10.260 we interact with in life,

00:38:11.220 even our enemies,

00:38:11.940 not our dogs.

00:38:14.060 Ozzie says, 0.96

00:38:14.660 I unfortunately went

00:38:15.360 through an alphabet

00:38:15.920 squad phase.

00:38:16.920 I was thinking about

00:38:17.420 becoming trans

00:38:18.180 and almost came out

00:38:19.240 to my parents,

00:38:19.920 but then I discovered

00:38:21.160 your channel

00:38:21.740 and helped me realize

00:38:22.560 how lost I was.

00:38:24.040 Thank you so much

00:38:24.560 for speaking the truth.

00:38:25.260 Well,

00:38:25.600 thanks for telling me

00:38:26.880 that, Ozzie, 0.97

00:38:27.320 and that does actually

00:38:29.240 make me feel like

00:38:31.900 there might be

00:38:32.640 a small bit of difference

00:38:33.640 being made here,

00:38:34.860 and I'm glad that you

00:38:35.660 were able to see

00:38:36.400 the light on that.

00:38:37.180 And it's interesting

00:38:39.320 that you say that,

00:38:40.100 though,

00:38:40.320 because we're told

00:38:42.340 that that never happens.

00:38:43.560 I mean,

00:38:43.720 you said that you were

00:38:44.900 feeling a little bit confused

00:38:46.720 and you were thinking

00:38:47.600 about becoming trans,

00:38:49.340 and we're told

00:38:51.400 that that's not

00:38:52.480 how it works, right?

00:38:53.320 Anyone who identifies

00:38:54.780 as trans

00:38:55.380 is because they've known it

00:38:56.840 ever since they were

00:38:57.500 a young child.

00:38:58.360 It's deeply ingrained

00:38:59.280 within them.

00:39:00.260 How many times

00:39:00.700 have you heard someone say,

00:39:01.800 oh, it's not like anyone

00:39:02.500 would wake up one day

00:39:03.360 and just decide

00:39:03.900 to be trans?

00:39:06.520 But as you attest to,

00:39:07.700 that is sort of

00:39:08.580 what happens, actually.

00:39:09.420 Pesky says,

00:39:13.880 Mr. Walsh,

00:39:14.420 I humbly point out

00:39:15.180 that I am indeed

00:39:15.960 the young man

00:39:16.600 who confronted Ben Shapiro

00:39:17.760 in the name of

00:39:18.200 the Sweet Baby Gang.

00:39:18.980 I am deeply honored

00:39:19.840 to have served you

00:39:20.700 and our fellow Sweet Babies

00:39:22.340 in our quest

00:39:22.880 for world domination.

00:39:24.360 And I will continue

00:39:24.880 to carry the SBG torch

00:39:26.440 via my own YouTube channel.

00:39:28.900 Our voices will

00:39:29.820 not be silenced.

00:39:32.080 So you put the little plug

00:39:33.160 for your YouTube channel.

00:39:33.940 I respect that hustle.

00:39:36.020 And I would want all,

00:39:37.680 everyone in the Sweet Baby Gang

00:39:38.760 to do the same

00:39:39.800 when given the opportunity.

00:39:41.360 And I appreciate your service.

00:39:43.700 And I would encourage

00:39:44.780 at any YAF event

00:39:47.140 with other Daily Wire

00:39:48.520 personalities,

00:39:51.640 don't be afraid

00:39:53.100 to show up

00:39:53.760 with your Sweet Baby Gang

00:39:56.700 flag flying high.

00:39:58.200 They all love it.

00:39:59.500 Trust me.

00:40:00.900 They won't tell you,

00:40:01.980 but they do

00:40:02.440 deep down in their hearts.

00:40:04.800 Ian says,

00:40:05.780 here we go again

00:40:06.500 on this channel.

00:40:07.060 Well, you know,

00:40:08.060 I'm getting sick and tired

00:40:08.940 of getting back slapped

00:40:10.000 by conservatives

00:40:10.840 because of my love of animals

00:40:12.300 and how much I decry

00:40:13.200 the abominations done to them.

00:40:15.140 If that's how Matt

00:40:16.020 and Michael feel,

00:40:16.800 then I don't need to be

00:40:17.580 this kind of conservative either.

00:40:18.940 As a Catholic,

00:40:19.540 I hold to be

00:40:20.040 both to be in the same regard,

00:40:23.160 dogs and humans,

00:40:23.920 if not the same value.

00:40:25.600 Pulling my support

00:40:26.480 from the DW

00:40:27.060 now that I've heard

00:40:28.500 Matt's take,

00:40:30.020 mistreatment,

00:40:30.880 some dogs were mistreated,

00:40:31.780 that's a gross understatement

00:40:32.900 if ever I heard one,

00:40:33.720 and the disdain

00:40:35.160 from the DW hosts

00:40:36.100 over this and the outcries

00:40:37.180 while they fall back

00:40:38.140 on their pro-life arguments

00:40:38.980 are revolting.

00:40:40.640 I am pro-life all the way

00:40:42.180 and I feel horror

00:40:42.920 in equal measure.

00:40:45.840 B-Rob says,

00:40:47.000 I'd say I value babies

00:40:48.120 over puppies,

00:40:48.780 but I definitely value

00:40:49.680 dogs over adult people.

00:40:51.720 Dr. Lecter says,

00:40:52.900 Matt,

00:40:53.160 as a self-proclaimed animal lover,

00:40:54.820 I would have to slightly disagree

00:40:55.760 with your thoughts

00:40:56.320 about people versus dogs.

00:40:57.720 My only argument

00:40:58.240 is that in my past

00:40:59.140 chosen profession,

00:41:00.060 all I've seen

00:41:00.500 is brutality,

00:41:01.220 violence,

00:41:01.460 and aggression

00:41:01.920 inflicted on people

00:41:02.900 by other people.

00:41:04.020 Mostly the violence

00:41:04.640 I've seen is on weaker people

00:41:05.740 being preyed upon

00:41:06.640 by bullies 0.99

00:41:07.160 and aggressive thugs.

00:41:08.380 Would you have an issue

00:41:08.960 with using death row inmates

00:41:10.180 and or child rapists

00:41:11.100 as the guinea pigs? 0.94

00:41:12.240 After all,

00:41:12.920 we're trying to develop

00:41:13.660 things for humans.

00:41:15.240 Let's use the ones

00:41:16.100 that have no desire

00:41:16.660 to be in civilized society.

00:41:18.160 We're going to respond

00:41:18.620 to all this in a second.

00:41:19.320 Hold on.

00:41:20.740 Lateralist says,

00:41:21.400 every life matters.

00:41:22.320 It's not always

00:41:22.880 about us humans.

00:41:24.380 Nancy says,

00:41:24.980 I value dogs

00:41:25.760 and people equally.

00:41:27.400 Another comment says,

00:41:28.100 it's a lot easier

00:41:28.800 to hate humans

00:41:29.540 than it is to hate dogs.

00:41:30.600 Liking animals

00:41:31.200 isn't the problem.

00:41:32.100 People being less likable

00:41:33.200 than animals

00:41:33.840 is the problem.

00:41:35.240 Richard says,

00:41:35.880 you're very wrong

00:41:36.420 about this, Matt.

00:41:36.920 You really don't get it.

00:41:37.740 Very disappointed in you

00:41:38.600 that you failed

00:41:39.360 to capture this moment.

00:41:40.640 Torturing dogs

00:41:41.360 is evil.

00:41:43.080 PM says,

00:41:43.960 dogs are better

00:41:44.640 than most people.

00:41:45.340 I have no problem

00:41:45.840 valuing them more.

00:41:46.800 Jared says,

00:41:47.900 puppies are better

00:41:48.580 than humans.

00:41:49.180 Just saying.

00:41:51.200 Good morning toast

00:41:52.180 says,

00:41:52.900 no,

00:41:53.140 it's not a sickness.

00:41:54.120 Dogs are nicer

00:41:54.680 than people.

00:41:55.160 Simple as that.

00:41:56.380 And Don says,

00:41:57.020 I so value

00:41:57.820 the life of dogs

00:41:58.780 over most people

00:41:59.620 because people

00:42:00.200 are inherently evil.

00:42:02.480 Dogs are trained

00:42:03.140 to be violent,

00:42:03.640 which falls back

00:42:04.260 on a whole people

00:42:05.320 who train the dogs.

00:42:06.280 So that's why people 1.00

00:42:06.880 suck and dogs rule. 1.00

00:42:08.000 Okay. 1.00

00:42:09.240 A lot of comments

00:42:10.220 in that vein

00:42:10.940 telling me that I'm wrong

00:42:12.240 for daring to suggest

00:42:14.960 that people

00:42:16.300 have more value

00:42:17.120 than dogs.

00:42:18.020 And I'm going to respond

00:42:18.860 to all of those comments

00:42:20.160 in the Daily Cancellation,

00:42:21.340 which will be

00:42:21.760 right after this.

00:42:23.100 You know,

00:42:23.320 if you're one of those

00:42:23.820 old fogies like myself 0.76

00:42:25.300 with boxes

00:42:26.500 of old tapes

00:42:27.980 and films

00:42:28.780 and, you know,

00:42:29.760 photo albums

00:42:30.180 and everything

00:42:30.520 just sitting around

00:42:31.360 collecting dust,

00:42:32.940 potentially,

00:42:33.600 depending on where

00:42:34.020 they're stored,

00:42:34.660 you know,

00:42:34.900 they could be damaged.

00:42:35.960 If that's the case for you,

00:42:37.320 then you've got to

00:44:01.340 our daily cancellation.

00:44:01.980 Today we're going to cancel

00:44:07.300 the people who wrote

00:44:08.540 those comments

00:44:09.060 that I just read

00:44:09.660 and many others

00:44:10.560 in the audience

00:44:12.900 in the same vein.

00:44:23.240 for missing the show,

00:44:23.920 of course,

00:44:24.120 but let's back up

00:44:24.740 for a moment.

00:44:25.540 Yesterday we discussed

00:44:26.340 the backlash

00:44:26.880 that Anthony Fauci

00:44:28.120 is facing

00:44:28.600 after it was reported

00:44:29.400 that the NIAID

00:44:31.100 under Fauci's leadership

00:44:32.640 funded a study

00:44:33.440 in which beagle puppies

00:44:34.480 were drugged,

00:44:35.220 infected with parasites,

00:44:36.460 and sometimes had

00:44:37.160 their vocal cords cut

00:44:38.120 to prevent them from barking.

00:44:39.380 This was all done

00:44:40.140 ostensibly to help develop

00:44:41.720 medicine and medical treatments

00:44:42.960 for humans.

00:44:44.280 Now there's nothing wrong

00:44:45.300 in principle

00:44:45.880 with experimenting

00:44:46.700 on animals

00:44:47.300 in order to develop

00:44:47.940 treatments for people,

00:44:49.100 but this particular experiment

00:44:51.460 seems to be gratuitous,

00:44:52.780 not to mention

00:44:53.260 from what I've read, 0.92

00:44:54.200 mostly useless

00:44:54.960 since beagles

00:44:55.580 don't make good analogs

00:44:56.920 for humans

00:44:57.380 in a laboratory setting.

00:44:59.420 But that's not

00:45:01.040 the only controversial

00:45:02.240 quote-unquote study

00:45:03.220 that Fauci has been linked to.

00:45:04.600 His organization

00:45:05.120 has also funded

00:45:05.860 an experiment

00:45:06.460 where aborted babies

00:45:08.020 were chopped into pieces

00:45:09.080 and their parts

00:45:09.700 were grafted onto mice.

00:45:11.680 Now as I pointed out,

00:45:13.400 the outrage

00:45:13.960 over the experiments

00:45:14.720 on puppies

00:45:15.220 has been significantly greater

00:45:16.820 than the outrage

00:45:17.540 over the experiments

00:45:18.220 on human children.

00:45:19.680 I argue that this discrepancy

00:45:21.160 is a symptom

00:45:21.600 of our culture's

00:45:22.660 pseudo-pagan animal worship.

00:45:25.040 We tend to value

00:45:25.960 animal life,

00:45:26.660 especially dog life,

00:45:27.500 over human life,

00:45:28.160 and that's a bad thing.

00:45:30.400 It's not that dogs

00:45:31.400 have no value.

00:45:32.680 It's just that human life

00:45:33.860 has infinitely greater value.

00:45:36.000 That was the argument

00:45:36.880 I presented

00:45:37.400 and as you just heard,

00:45:38.500 it has not been greeted

00:45:39.440 with wide approval

00:45:40.240 or acclaim.

00:45:41.080 There are lots of people,

00:45:41.940 even on the right,

00:45:42.940 who will openly profess

00:45:44.040 that they value dogs

00:45:45.360 over their fellow human beings.

00:45:47.300 Now I find this point of view

00:45:48.460 totally perverse

00:45:49.360 and though I shouldn't have

00:45:51.320 to explain why,

00:45:52.240 apparently I do.

00:45:53.360 So let me try to lay out

00:45:54.380 the case now.

00:45:54.980 A few points to take

00:45:56.340 into consideration.

00:45:58.540 First of all,

00:46:00.440 if human life

00:46:01.260 does not have special,

00:46:02.540 unique, inherent value,

00:46:03.980 then there is no point

00:46:05.660 to any of the arguments

00:46:06.920 we have

00:46:07.640 or any of the issues

00:46:08.500 we care about

00:46:09.220 or the things we fight for.

00:46:11.480 There's no point

00:46:12.240 to life at all, in fact,

00:46:13.860 at least not much of a point.

00:46:15.500 The whole basis

00:46:16.360 for the doctrine

00:46:17.000 of human rights,

00:46:17.720 for example,

00:46:18.560 is that human beings

00:46:19.580 have inherent worth

00:46:20.500 and value

00:46:21.020 above that of a beast

00:46:22.360 or a bug.

00:46:23.440 There's a reason

00:46:23.920 why we would say

00:46:24.480 that it's an infringement

00:46:25.240 on a child's rights

00:46:26.440 if you feed them

00:46:28.420 out of a dog bowl

00:46:29.200 on the floor

00:46:29.760 and lock them in a crate

00:46:31.080 and make them go 0.51

00:46:32.400 to the bathroom

00:46:32.920 out in the yard.

00:46:34.480 Yet we wouldn't say

00:46:35.600 that it's an infringement

00:46:36.220 on a dog's rights

00:46:37.040 to do that.

00:46:38.120 The reason is that

00:46:39.000 children are human

00:46:39.980 and as humans

00:46:41.440 they have unique dignity

00:46:42.860 which carries with it

00:46:44.380 rights and liberties.

00:46:46.320 If you don't believe that,

00:46:47.620 then again,

00:46:48.180 there's no basis

00:46:48.940 for your conservatism

00:46:50.260 or even your liberalism

00:46:51.760 or any ideology

00:46:52.760 except absolute

00:46:53.560 suicidal nihilism.

00:46:56.140 Second,

00:46:57.180 the good thing

00:46:58.540 is that even though

00:46:59.240 people say

00:46:59.840 they think dogs

00:47:00.500 have equal value

00:47:01.240 or more value,

00:47:02.600 most of those people

00:47:03.320 don't really believe it.

00:47:04.920 Going back to the kid

00:47:05.760 in the crate situation,

00:47:06.800 I'm guessing that

00:47:07.480 every single person

00:47:08.420 who left an angry comment

00:47:09.600 on my show yesterday

00:47:10.480 would react with

00:47:11.640 utter shock and horror

00:47:12.980 at a child being treated

00:47:14.060 like a dog,

00:47:14.880 but they would not react

00:47:16.500 that way to a dog

00:47:17.420 being treated like a dog.

00:47:19.440 Further,

00:47:19.980 I'm betting that

00:47:20.540 all of them,

00:47:21.220 if they were driving along

00:47:22.500 and saw a dead dog

00:47:24.080 on the side of the road,

00:47:25.560 they'd feel sad about it,

00:47:26.660 yeah.

00:47:27.400 But if they saw

00:47:28.100 a dead human,

00:47:29.460 they'd react

00:47:30.020 quite a bit stronger to it.

00:47:32.280 And further,

00:47:33.000 I'm betting,

00:47:33.500 I'm hoping,

00:47:34.640 that if a woman 1.00

00:47:36.140 and a dog

00:47:36.920 were trapped

00:47:37.380 in a burning building

00:47:38.240 and they could only save one,

00:47:40.760 all of them

00:47:41.420 would save the woman.

00:47:43.580 I'm betting and hoping

00:47:44.660 that none of them

00:47:45.320 would say,

00:47:45.860 sorry lady, 1.00

00:47:46.640 I gotta take this dog out

00:47:47.720 and leave her 1.00

00:47:48.640 to burn to death. 1.00

00:47:49.460 So these examples 0.78

00:47:51.760 only show that

00:47:52.380 people think

00:47:53.060 they value dogs

00:47:53.880 and people the same,

00:47:54.920 but they're confused.

00:47:57.400 And it's good

00:47:58.220 that they're confused

00:47:58.800 because if they actually

00:47:59.760 did value them the same, 0.96

00:48:02.180 they'd be full on psychopaths. 0.98

00:48:04.480 It might be said

00:48:05.040 that the definition

00:48:05.820 of a psychopath,

00:48:06.860 I mean the literal definition

00:48:07.880 could be

00:48:08.900 a person who treats

00:48:10.000 other people like dogs.

00:48:12.260 But I don't think

00:48:13.260 that most of

00:48:13.860 this dog worship

00:48:14.800 is born from

00:48:15.500 psychopathity necessarily.

00:48:17.140 I think it's born

00:48:17.760 partly from moral degradation,

00:48:19.000 yes,

00:48:19.500 but also largely

00:48:20.300 from confusion.

00:48:22.480 Third,

00:48:23.200 part of the source

00:48:23.920 of that confusion

00:48:24.620 is this half-baked idea

00:48:27.100 that many people have

00:48:27.840 as expressed

00:48:28.280 in some of those comments

00:48:29.040 that dogs are somehow

00:48:30.740 morally superior

00:48:31.720 to humans

00:48:32.320 because humans

00:48:32.940 do a lot of terrible things

00:48:34.260 while dogs

00:48:35.100 never do terrible things.

00:48:36.720 Only that's

00:48:37.520 not true of course.

00:48:38.680 I mean dogs

00:48:39.240 maul children,

00:48:40.600 they kill people. 1.00

00:48:42.520 Further down

00:48:43.240 the scale of atrocities,

00:48:44.340 they chew your couch 0.91

00:48:45.220 and pillows

00:48:45.800 and shoes.

00:48:47.460 The difference

00:48:48.140 is that you don't

00:48:48.780 hold dogs

00:48:49.420 morally responsible

00:48:50.440 for that.

00:48:51.640 You would never say

00:48:52.280 that a dog

00:48:52.720 who does something bad,

00:48:53.780 even as bad as

00:48:54.460 killing a child,

00:48:55.940 has committed evil.

00:48:57.500 And why?

00:48:58.100 Because you recognize

00:48:58.920 that dogs are incapable

00:49:00.000 of making moral choices.

00:49:01.760 They're not assessing

00:49:02.680 a variety of options

00:49:03.700 and choosing one

00:49:04.520 based on which

00:49:05.160 is the most ethical

00:49:06.220 or moral.

00:49:08.520 And that's correct.

00:49:09.960 That's how they get off

00:49:10.920 the hook

00:49:11.240 when they do bad things.

00:49:12.180 That's why

00:49:12.600 you get to always

00:49:13.820 blame the owner

00:49:14.600 when a pit bull

00:49:15.380 sends someone

00:49:15.940 to the hospital.

00:49:16.600 You always say

00:49:16.900 there's no bad dogs,

00:49:18.600 there's only bad owners.

00:49:20.480 Fine.

00:49:21.800 But if you're letting

00:49:22.600 dogs off the hook

00:49:23.520 for bad actions

00:49:24.580 because they can't

00:49:26.020 make moral choices,

00:49:27.900 then you can't

00:49:28.360 very well give them

00:49:29.020 credit for good actions.

00:49:30.740 You can't ascribe

00:49:31.760 traits like courage

00:49:32.680 and selflessness

00:49:33.320 to dogs

00:49:33.840 if you're not

00:49:34.420 also going to

00:49:35.280 ascribe traits

00:49:35.960 like evil,

00:49:37.060 selfishness,

00:49:37.740 cowardice to them

00:49:38.500 in equal measure.

00:49:40.880 Dogs act on instinct.

00:49:42.140 They act on training.

00:49:45.040 They're not moral beings.

00:49:47.440 So yes,

00:49:47.920 humans do terrible stuff 1.00

00:49:49.240 that dogs don't do.

00:49:51.240 Humans also do

00:49:51.920 incredible,

00:49:52.660 courageous,

00:49:53.260 beautiful,

00:49:53.800 selfless,

00:49:54.580 loving things

00:49:55.340 that dogs don't do.

00:49:57.160 Humans are complex,

00:49:58.440 conscious,

00:49:59.220 moral creatures.

00:50:00.460 Dogs are not.

00:50:02.860 Fourth,

00:50:03.500 but this is really

00:50:03.960 what it comes down to.

00:50:05.620 Humans are complex,

00:50:06.700 like I just said,

00:50:07.200 complicated,

00:50:07.720 difficult.

00:50:08.000 This is why

00:50:11.120 we often prefer pets.

00:50:12.420 Pets are easy.

00:50:13.220 They're not complicated.

00:50:14.140 They don't ask much of you.

00:50:15.860 They have needs,

00:50:16.920 but their needs are simple.

00:50:18.540 Their lives revolve

00:50:19.600 around us.

00:50:20.940 They give us

00:50:21.640 what we need emotionally

00:50:22.740 without asking

00:50:23.440 for anything in return.

00:50:24.640 This isn't because

00:50:25.320 of any moral virtue

00:50:26.280 on their part.

00:50:26.820 It's just because

00:50:27.260 they're animals.

00:50:28.800 Ice cream can give you

00:50:29.900 what you want

00:50:30.340 without asking anything

00:50:31.120 in return too.

00:50:32.100 So can a tree

00:50:32.720 if it's hot out

00:50:33.320 and you want shade.

00:50:35.040 But it would be

00:50:35.440 bizarre to say,

00:50:37.220 I value this tree

00:50:38.380 more than the human race

00:50:39.580 because it provides

00:50:40.840 better shade than people.

00:50:43.020 Trees do what trees do.

00:50:45.000 Dogs do what dogs do.

00:50:46.540 It's good to be grateful

00:50:47.640 for both

00:50:48.220 and to value

00:50:49.680 the things they do

00:50:50.520 and what they give you,

00:50:51.700 but to value them

00:50:52.480 above people

00:50:53.420 or on the level

00:50:54.500 with people

00:50:54.960 is deeply confused.

00:50:58.840 And again,

00:50:59.620 I'm being generous

00:51:00.580 by calling it confused.

00:51:02.300 The other option

00:51:03.220 is that it's

00:51:03.680 totally morally depraved

00:51:04.960 and a sign 0.99

00:51:05.400 that you're a burgeoning 0.99

00:51:06.140 serial killer.

00:51:08.120 But whichever is the case,

00:51:10.200 either way,

00:51:11.600 you're still today,

00:51:12.440 I have to say,

00:51:13.000 unfortunately,

00:51:14.560 canceled.

00:51:15.800 You and your dog.

00:51:17.660 He's getting lumped in

00:51:18.440 with this also.

00:51:19.760 And that'll do it

00:51:20.660 for us today.

00:51:21.200 Thanks for watching.

00:51:21.780 Thanks for listening.
