The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 840 - The Conspiracy Against Kyle Rittenhouse

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the prosecutors in the Kyle Rittenhouse case made their closing arguments in their case against self-defense in the Second Amendment.

00:00:07.140 We'll take a look at the closing arguments and we'll trace this case all the way back to where it really started, because we shouldn't forget about where this all really began.

00:00:14.660 Also, Representative Cori Bush claims that armed white supremacists shot at her.

00:00:19.320 There is absolutely no evidence of this, of course.

00:00:21.840 And Beto O'Rourke runs for governor.

00:00:23.440 Plus, a city in Michigan elects an all-Muslim city council.

00:00:26.340 The media says this is a great example of racial diversity.

00:00:29.580 There are a number of problems with that claim we'll discuss.

00:00:32.520 And a feminist author says that many women deeply regret having children and getting married. 0.85

00:00:37.360 Is that true or just wishful thinking on her part?

00:00:40.020 We'll talk about all that and much more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:50.940 You know, I'm going to be getting on a plane after the show and heading to Florida to speak at Ave Maria.

00:00:57.200 And I'm looking forward to that on Wednesday.

00:00:59.000 And what that means is that, of course, I'm going to make sure I have my trusty relief band with me, as I always do when I travel.

00:01:05.940 Relief band is the number one FDA-cleared anti-nausea wristband that's been clinically proven to quickly relieve and effectively prevent nausea and vomiting associated with motion sickness, which is my affliction, anxiety, migraines, hangover, morning sickness, chemotherapy, and so much more.

00:01:18.520 The product is 100% drug-free, non-drowsy, provides all-natural, long-lasting relief with zero side effects for as long as needed.

00:01:25.060 The technology was originally developed over 20 years ago in hospitals to relieve nausea from patients.

00:01:30.340 But now, the relief band gets available to the masses.

00:01:33.520 How it works is relief band stimulates a nerve in the wrist that travels to the part of your brain that controls nausea, then it blocks the signal your brain is sending to your stomach telling you that you're sick, and kind of pulls a little bit of a sleight-of-hand trick on your own body in the process, and then you don't feel the nausea at all.

00:01:49.040 It's like magic.

00:01:49.860 Relief band just released its newest model, relief band sport.

00:01:53.060 The sport is waterproof, features interchangeable bands, and has extended battery life.

00:01:56.700 So, as the holiday season quickly approaches, there's never been a better time to give the gift of relief and make sure your loved ones are nausea-free.

00:02:02.860 Right now, Relief Band has an exclusive offer just for Matt Walsh listeners.

00:02:18.680 We await now a verdict in the Kyle Rittenhouse case, a verdict that should be a foregone conclusion,

00:02:23.640 as the prosecution utterly failed in its responsibility to prove its case.

00:02:27.600 But I don't feel as confident as I ought to feel because I have very little faith in our fundamental American institutions, like the justice system.

00:02:34.880 So many of us have little faith in those institutions.

00:02:38.020 If the bad guys win here and Kyle is successfully railroaded,

00:02:41.740 then faith in those institutions will be finally and irrevocably broken for a lot of people, I suspect.

00:02:48.300 What happens from there? Well, nothing good.

00:02:50.600 Again, what makes this case unique is not it's not simply that a corrupt D.A. is trying to destroy an innocent man, though.

00:02:58.100 That's exactly what he's doing.

00:02:59.540 What makes it unique is that he's doing it out in the open with the help of the media and the Democrat Party and big tech.

00:03:06.100 These institutions have selected Kyle as their blood sacrifice.

00:03:09.600 And if they're able to see this all the way through.

00:03:13.260 And do this in front of everybody's eyes while we know that they're doing it.

00:03:17.860 It will mean that we have crossed a certain threshold in this country.

00:03:21.440 And I don't know if we'll be able to reverse course at that point.

00:03:25.000 Now, closing arguments were delivered on Monday.

00:03:27.360 Prosecutors Tweedledee and Tweedledum provided us with moments that would almost be comedic relief,

00:03:32.160 if not for the very serious stakes here.

00:03:34.180 For example, D.A. Binger, in an attempt to show that Joseph Rosenbaum was not a serious threat,

00:03:40.020 listed off all of the many crimes that he committed on the night of his death.

00:03:44.360 It's not clear what point Binger thought he was making here, but let's listen.

00:03:50.040 So what does he do that night?

00:03:52.700 Oh, let me tell you all the awful things Joseph Rosenbaum did.

00:03:56.680 He tipped over a porta potty that had no one in it.

00:03:59.840 He swung a chain.

00:04:02.620 He lit a metal garbage dumpster on fire.

00:04:07.880 Oh, and there's this empty wooden flatbed trailer that they pulled out in the middle of the road

00:04:12.680 and they tipped it over to stop some bearcats and they lit it on fire.

00:04:17.660 Oh, and he said some bad words.

00:04:19.440 He said the N-word.

00:04:22.680 That's like a lot of stuff.

00:04:23.920 I mean, he committed more arson in 35 minutes than I have in 35 years.

00:04:29.360 So now, notably, under any other circumstance, 0.99

00:04:33.440 most people on the left would say that a white man deserves to be shot 0.99

00:04:36.820 simply for saying the N-word, leaving everything else aside. 0.99

00:04:40.240 Remember a white Macy's employee was beaten senseless by a black man on camera last summer?

00:04:44.600 Remember that?

00:04:45.680 And the violence was cheered by many leftists

00:04:47.900 because the assailant claimed that the victim said the N-word.

00:04:51.220 Now, he didn't.

00:04:52.100 That was all a lie.

00:04:52.960 The point is simply that in most every other case,

00:04:55.720 the N-word is treated as a literal capital offense. 0.72

00:04:59.940 But putting that aside, by the DA's admission, Rosenbaum, the child rapist,

00:05:04.460 spent the whole night setting fires and committing crimes 0.83

00:05:07.800 before he attacked Rittenhouse. 0.95

00:05:10.300 And the arsonist rapist was finally shot,

00:05:13.500 not because of any of his previous crimes, even crimes committed that night,

00:05:17.260 but because he charged and attempted to assault a man carrying a rifle.

00:05:21.040 All of his previous misdeeds were irrelevant in that moment,

00:05:25.500 though it was nice of the DA to list them all again for us, I suppose. 0.89

00:05:29.120 Really, it's tough to decide if that was Binger's dumbest moment yesterday, 0.82

00:05:32.840 or maybe it was this. 0.98

00:05:35.100 Here he is pointing an AR-15 at a room full of people,

00:05:39.620 and you have to see it to believe it.

00:05:41.860 I mean, I heard about this on Twitter, and I didn't believe it until I saw the picture.

00:05:47.040 And notice where his finger is placed.

00:05:50.340 Okay, he's got his finger on the trigger.

00:05:52.640 This is what we call bad trigger discipline, very bad.

00:05:57.360 And it's the irony of all ironies.

00:05:59.800 Binger has spent the whole trial accusing Rittenhouse of being reckless and careless

00:06:03.700 with his firearm, and in this culminating moment,

00:06:06.920 Binger decides to basically nearly pull an Alec Baldwin on the jury.

00:06:11.760 Quick note, just to reiterate, to anyone watching at home,

00:06:15.140 never ever point a weapon at anything or anyone you don't intend to destroy.

00:06:21.080 And never put your finger on the trigger until you're ready to fire.

00:06:25.020 You would think that the DA, who is trying to prosecute somebody right now,

00:06:29.260 I mean, one of the charges that was dismissed yesterday was a firearms charge.

00:06:33.660 You'd think maybe he would know a thing or two about firearm safety, but apparently not.

00:06:39.700 At another point, after menacing the entire courtroom by waving a rifle around like a maniac,

00:06:44.620 Binger gave his theory of self-defense.

00:06:48.720 And his theory, as he explicitly states, is that self-defense is illegal.

00:06:54.600 Listen to this.

00:06:55.160 They have to convince you that Joseph Rosenbaum was going to take that gun and use it on the

00:07:01.760 defendant because they know you can't claim self-defense against an unarmed man like this.

00:07:10.840 You lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun,

00:07:15.180 when you're the one creating the danger, when you're the one provoking other people.

00:07:19.440 My God in heaven, you lose the right to self-defense when you're the one who brought the gun.

00:07:26.000 Now, if that's the case, then it is never acceptable to use your gun in self-defense.

00:07:31.460 He is arguing that shooting someone is always murder.

00:07:34.900 Always.

00:07:36.100 Because by definition, he says, you lose the right to shoot the gun the moment you produce the gun.

00:07:41.240 So you have the right to bear arms, says Binger.

00:07:44.540 You just don't have the right to use them ever under any circumstance.

00:07:49.200 Those are the implications of the statement that we just heard him make.

00:07:53.040 And then more importantly, the jury heard him make.

00:07:56.760 He is lying to them about the basic facts of the law.

00:08:01.920 Forget about lying about the case.

00:08:03.720 We know he's doing that.

00:08:05.600 He's lying to the jury about what the law says.

00:08:07.900 And now, you know, this is where some of my pessimism comes from in terms of the verdict.

00:08:16.520 We have to trust that the jury is smart enough to know what the law really is.

00:08:22.640 Even with the DA standing there lying to them for days on end.

00:08:28.240 He also says that you can't claim self-defense against an unarmed man.

00:08:31.400 Much of the prosecution's case rests on the fact that the arsonist child rapist did not have a weapon visible at the time of the altercation.

00:08:39.340 The assistant DA went into a little bit more detail on this point.

00:08:42.460 Let's listen to that.

00:08:44.300 Clearly, if there is provocation, he's guilty.

00:08:48.060 But even outside of provocation,

00:08:50.640 why do you get to immediately just start shooting?

00:08:55.280 As Mr. Binger said, he brought a gun to a fist fight. 0.97

00:09:01.820 And he was too cowardly to use his own fist to fight his way out. 1.00

00:09:05.360 He has to start shooting. 1.00

00:09:07.860 Ladies and gentlemen of the jury,

00:09:09.800 have you ever seen any of the Jason Bourne films?

00:09:12.620 Jason Bourne routinely defeats large numbers of assailants using only his fists and his wits.

00:09:17.480 Ladies and gentlemen,

00:09:18.860 justice demands that we hold Mr. Rittenhouse to the same standard.

00:09:22.200 If you've seen it in an action flick, you must convict.

00:09:27.800 Sorry, I don't mean to make fun of the assistant DA.

00:09:29.920 It's obvious for Ms. Fizik that this man has lots of experience in hand-to-hand combat.

00:09:33.800 I mean, he is the expert.

00:09:35.580 But we can't all be trained kung fu fighters like himself.

00:09:38.960 Most of us are mere mortals, 0.78

00:09:40.580 and it is asinine to suggest that we have a legal or moral obligation to fight an angry mob with just our fists. 0.93

00:09:47.820 It is equally asinine to argue that unarmed mobs, or even just an unarmed individual, 0.96

00:09:53.960 isn't a potentially lethal threat. 0.77

00:09:56.740 Maybe someone should ask Reginald Denny about this.

00:10:00.700 He's the white truck driver who was pulled out of his truck during the L.A. race riots in the 90s

00:10:04.680 and beaten unconscious.

00:10:06.880 Barely survived.

00:10:08.820 Suffered permanent physical impairments because of the attack.

00:10:11.500 Does the DA of Kenosha think that we have an obligation to submit ourselves to permanent physical disability

00:10:19.180 for the sake of preserving the lives of the violent animals assaulting us?

00:10:24.420 What would the prosecution say to Reginald Denny?

00:10:28.000 Well, I guess they'd say this.

00:10:30.900 Everybody takes a beating sometimes, right?

00:10:33.300 Sometimes you get in a scuffle and maybe you do get hurt a little bit.

00:10:38.380 Ah, just a scuffle.

00:10:40.020 Some cuts and bruises.

00:10:41.500 Everybody takes a beating sometimes.

00:10:44.500 I mean, the assistant DA tripped and bruised his knee on the way into Krispy Kreme the other week.

00:10:48.540 So he's been there and done that.

00:10:50.260 No big deal.

00:10:51.940 And what they argue now is that whenever you're assaulted by someone,

00:10:55.260 your responsibility is to take the beating

00:10:58.040 and to preserve the life of your assailant,

00:11:01.380 even if that means giving up your own life in the process.

00:11:03.160 This, of course, is suicidal, amoral.

00:11:09.400 The prosecution has waged an all-out assault on the dignity and worth of human life,

00:11:14.020 all under the guise of defending the dignity and worth of human life.

00:11:17.940 But no matter how they present it, what they're saying is that your life is so worthless,

00:11:23.800 so lacking in value, that you should be willing to forfeit it. 1.00

00:11:27.700 You should be ready to jump on the grenade if ever some scumbag criminal decides to attack you. 1.00

00:11:33.640 According to the DA, that's how worthless you are. 1.00

00:11:38.460 The scumbag criminal, if a child rapist comes after you to beat you senseless, 1.00

00:11:43.500 your life is so worthless that you should, 1.00

00:11:46.880 even if you have the ability to stop him, you shouldn't.

00:11:51.800 As I've said all along, they have put our right to self-defense on trial,

00:11:55.880 but you could even say that they've put the value of human life on trial.

00:11:59.240 Now, there is a caveat here, though, for the left, to include the prosecution in this case,

00:12:06.280 the right to self-defense is, it's not that it doesn't exist completely,

00:12:12.320 it's just that it's conditional.

00:12:14.880 And not conditional based on circumstance, but based on identity and politics.

00:12:20.500 See, it's really impossible to understand much of the liberal analysis of the Rittenhouse case

00:12:24.200 until you understand that most of it is founded on the assumption

00:12:27.320 that the rioters had the moral right to destroy property as they pleased,

00:12:32.380 and anybody who tried to prevent them from doing so was infringing on those rights.

00:12:37.160 See, this is the crucial point for them.

00:12:39.140 This is what it all comes down to.

00:12:41.040 From the perspective of reality and common sense,

00:12:44.920 the prosecution claim that Kyle Rittenhouse provoked his attackers makes no sense.

00:12:48.680 He wasn't the one rioting.

00:12:50.240 He didn't go there that night with the intent of committing a crime,

00:12:53.340 unlike the looters and rioters.

00:12:54.720 They attacked him because he wanted to prevent them from committing crimes.

00:12:59.800 They provoked the altercation that led to their own deaths.

00:13:03.140 He didn't bring a gun to a fist fight.

00:13:05.840 They brought, if anything, they brought a fist to a gunfight.

00:13:10.620 Or rather, at least they brought fists to a guy who was carrying a gun. 0.96

00:13:13.780 That's on them.

00:13:14.360 You know, that's them writing a check they couldn't cash.

00:13:20.180 But this is all the way that a normal, sane, morally decent person sees it. 0.94

00:13:23.980 But the abnormal, insane, morally repugnant hordes, again to include the DA, 0.97

00:13:28.860 actually believe that the rioters were entitled to burn and destroy. 0.89

00:13:32.860 Remember a few years ago, the mayor of Baltimore saying about rioters in that city,

00:13:39.360 we have to give them space to destroy.

00:13:43.640 And that was not a gaffe, okay?

00:13:46.340 She was articulating the leftist view of these situations.

00:13:49.700 Their alleged emotional trauma granted them the right to do as they pleased.

00:13:56.140 If they felt that the path to emotional healing was to burn a convenience store

00:14:00.240 or loot a footlocker, then they were morally sanctioned to do so.

00:14:05.440 So looking at it from this drunken, discombobulated perspective,

00:14:09.140 it makes sense that Kyle Rittenhouse is the provoker and the aggressor.

00:14:12.080 He was there to prevent them from exercising their right to riot.

00:14:15.700 But when they chased and assaulted him, they were acting in defense of that right,

00:14:20.620 in self-defense, which meant that he had no right to respond with lethal force.

00:14:24.780 That's the way they see it.

00:14:26.780 The DA has all but argued this explicitly.

00:14:30.780 One other point I want to make here in the lead up to the verdict,

00:14:34.140 which could come any minute.

00:14:37.300 Let's remember how this all began.

00:14:40.000 It began not when Kyle Rittenhouse showed up in Kenosha with his weapon,

00:14:44.280 but days before that, when accused rapist Jacob Blake accosted a woman,

00:14:50.240 fought the cops who showed up to save her,

00:14:53.140 pulled a knife, and tried to steal a vehicle with children inside.

00:14:57.140 He was justifiably shot.

00:14:58.980 Both local and federal authorities,

00:15:01.540 the Biden administration included,

00:15:03.460 have looked at the shooting and have confirmed that the shooting was justified.

00:15:07.940 But the media lied about that case,

00:15:10.120 and they used it to intentionally provoke more rioting.

00:15:12.560 And then when Kyle came along and did what he had to do,

00:15:16.840 they lied about that too.

00:15:19.480 If Kyle is rightfully exonerated,

00:15:21.500 they'll lie some more and try to set the city on fire all over again.

00:15:24.560 They truly are the enemy of the people.

00:15:28.140 What's more, the media has no right to do what it's doing.

00:15:31.780 Let's be clear about that too.

00:15:35.380 Okay, this free speech does not cover this.

00:15:39.260 It has no right to lie and instigate and intentionally provoke and incite

00:15:44.180 and rip our country to pieces on purpose.

00:15:49.000 Many of them should be in prison for what they've done in Kenosha

00:15:51.680 and what they will continue to do.

00:15:54.380 They are the villains here.

00:15:56.240 And we should never forget that.

00:15:57.600 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:07.460 We're all looking for every possible way that we can find to save a little bit of money.

00:16:11.220 And here's a great way and an easy way.

00:17:09.840 Okay, here's just another perfect example of the convoluted thinking of the left on this.

00:17:15.360 Tom Nichols, who's a, you know, never Trump guy.

00:17:19.320 I think he, I think at one point he claimed to be conservative.

00:17:21.420 I'm not sure.

00:17:21.840 But Tom Nichols on Twitter, he says, everyone involved would be alive if he, Rittenhouse,

00:17:27.980 had stayed home with his mommy instead of going to play hero in a neighboring state.

00:17:31.660 This is the frustration where you want to grab these people by the collar and like shake them

00:17:38.840 and say, they were at a, what about the rioters?

00:17:41.660 This was a riot.

00:17:43.140 What about them?

00:17:44.780 Well, why didn't Kyle Rittenhouse just stay home that night?

00:17:47.320 Why didn't they all stay home that night?

00:17:48.900 They want to analyze this case, pretend in, that happened in the context of a riot and

00:17:58.400 pretend the riot wasn't happening.

00:18:03.280 Everyone would be alive if Kyle had stayed home that night.

00:18:07.940 He's the one who should have stayed home.

00:18:10.040 Not the child rapist who, according to the DA, was just running around the city, setting 0.96

00:18:14.940 stuff on fire.

00:18:18.900 But as I said, I mean, I've already explained where this really comes from.

00:18:24.060 They had the right to do that because they were upset, because their tummies hurt, because 0.89

00:18:31.580 another rapist had been shot by the cops while trying to abduct some children in a stolen

00:18:39.480 vehicle.

00:18:40.600 And that made their tummies hurt and they were really upset about that, or at least they were

00:18:44.880 pretending to be upset about that.

00:18:46.180 And so they had the right to do whatever they wanted to do.

00:18:51.840 All right.

00:18:52.980 We'll start with this.

00:18:53.960 A tweet from Cori Bush, Representative Cori Bush.

00:18:57.920 Let's remember that she is an elected representative. 0.56

00:19:00.780 She is a member of Congress.

00:19:03.620 And here's what she tweeted.

00:19:04.880 She said, when we marched in Ferguson, white supremacists would hide behind a hill near

00:19:10.880 where Michael Brown Jr. 0.59

00:19:12.840 was murdered and shoot at us.

00:19:15.200 They never faced consequences.

00:19:18.180 If Kyle Rittenhouse gets acquitted, it tells them that even seven years later, they still

00:19:23.080 can get away with it.

00:19:25.620 I mean, where do you even begin here?

00:19:27.940 Where do you start?

00:19:32.080 This isn't even the most important point, but what do you mean hid behind a hill?

00:19:36.680 I'm trying to figure out the physics of that exactly.

00:19:40.960 Logistically, how does that work?

00:19:42.240 They're hiding behind a hill and shooting at you?

00:19:45.500 And this is in the middle of the city.

00:19:49.100 There's a big hill that they can hide.

00:19:51.860 I'm trying to imagine how that even works, and I can't.

00:19:57.420 But, of course, it doesn't have to work in reality because she completely made this up.

00:20:02.020 I mean, when did this happen exactly?

00:20:07.480 Is there any evidence of this?

00:20:09.260 So there were armed white supremacist militants in Ferguson after Michael Brown was killed,

00:20:18.260 and that, by the way, also an entirely justified shooting.

00:20:23.100 And that was also vindicated by local authorities and the federal government,

00:20:28.760 which at the time was under the direction of Barack Obama.

00:20:31.900 Barack Obama's DOJ tried to find a way to, you know,

00:20:41.640 tried to find some charges to hang on the officer in that case and couldn't find them.

00:20:49.060 But yet they still use the Michael Brown case as an example of police brutality

00:20:55.940 and white supremacist violence and all this kind of stuff.

00:21:01.900 A Democratic administration already debunked that, and they still use it

00:21:07.440 because the truth is irrelevant to them, of course.

00:21:14.180 But she says that after this happened, there were militant white supremacists on the scene

00:21:19.120 shooting at people, and this never made the news.

00:21:22.800 The media decided not to report this fact.

00:21:28.200 Were they shouting, this is MAGA country, while they shot, maybe?

00:21:31.900 But, of course, this is a brazen lie from a sitting U.S. Congresswoman,

00:21:40.220 but she lies brazenly because she knows she'll get away with it.

00:21:43.980 She knows that there is no possible consequence to her

00:21:48.360 because she's a Democrat 0.99

00:21:51.460 and also because of all of the identity politics points that she can check off as a black woman.

00:21:58.720 So, you know, that gives her all the cover in the world. 0.66

00:22:01.900 She could say whatever she wants.

00:22:04.640 Nobody will follow up.

00:22:06.100 No one in the media will even ask her about this.

00:22:08.400 And that tells you everything you need to know.

00:22:13.320 That shows that they know it's a lie,

00:22:15.080 because if they thought there was any chance that this actually happened,

00:22:18.780 then they'd want to talk about it.

00:22:21.300 They'd want to get her in front of a camera and say, 1.00

00:22:23.100 tell us all about this horrible experience with white supremacists shooting at you.

00:22:27.860 But they know it's totally bogus, and so they're not going to ask her about it.

00:22:30.400 And, of course, we haven't even gotten to the fact that she connects Kyle Rittenhouse.

00:22:38.300 She puts him in the same category as white supremacists.

00:22:45.980 When that's just a flat-out lie once again,

00:22:51.260 but also everybody involved in this case is white.

00:22:58.600 They're all white people. 0.98

00:23:01.120 I just saw there's another tweet from, I don't have it in front of me,

00:23:03.420 but some blue-check leftist, someone in the media,

00:23:08.140 saying that employers, after the Kyle Rittenhouse verdict comes down,

00:23:13.000 no matter what the verdict is,

00:23:14.840 this guy on Twitter is saying that the employers should give black employees the day off. 0.56

00:23:19.360 Give him a couple days off, you know, 0.77

00:23:21.420 because of how emotional this case is for the black employees.

00:23:25.160 What? 0.77

00:23:26.420 Black people, there are no black individuals involved in this case. 0.98

00:23:30.640 This is a white person who shot three other white people who were attacking him. 0.98

00:23:38.900 But it doesn't matter.

00:23:39.860 The truth is completely irrelevant.

00:23:43.380 And that is really what they, that's what they think.

00:23:45.960 This ends justify the means.

00:23:47.680 The truth is, you know, the truth is subjective.

00:23:54.080 So the way they look at it with Kyle Rittenhouse,

00:23:56.260 yeah, there's, of course, he's not a white supremacist.

00:23:59.060 Race has nothing to do with this case whatsoever,

00:24:01.200 because everybody involved is the same race.

00:24:05.740 But the truth, that's, you know, that might be the truth.

00:24:08.740 That might be the reality.

00:24:10.500 But it's not their reality.

00:24:11.940 It's not their truth.

00:24:12.840 And their truth is determined by how they feel.

00:24:17.700 And so they, when they see this case,

00:24:20.060 it feels to them like Kyle Rittenhouse must be a white supremacist.

00:24:24.680 And it feels to them like he's guilty of, of mass murder.

00:24:31.760 And because they feel that that's the case, then, then it is the case.

00:24:35.280 Then it's true.

00:24:35.800 If you feel it, then it's true.

00:24:36.920 That's how they see it.

00:24:39.620 All right.

00:24:40.080 Next, we got Beto O'Rourke is, uh, let's see.

00:24:43.340 He tried to be, he tried to run for Senator.

00:24:45.320 That didn't work out.

00:24:46.400 Tried to run for president.

00:24:47.880 That didn't exactly work out.

00:24:48.780 And now maybe third time's a charm.

00:24:51.300 He's running for governor.

00:24:52.420 Let's watch his announcement.

00:24:54.740 I'm running for governor.

00:24:56.120 And I want to tell you why.

00:24:58.040 This past February, when the electricity grid failed and millions of our fellow Texans were

00:25:03.200 without power, which meant that the lights wouldn't turn on, the heat wouldn't run.

00:25:07.760 And pretty soon their pipes froze and the water stopped flowing.

00:25:11.320 They were abandoned by those who were elected to serve and look out for them.

00:25:16.900 It's a symptom of a much larger problem that we have in Texas right now.

00:25:20.260 Those in positions of public trust have stopped listening to, serving and paying attention

00:25:26.080 to and trusting the people of Texas.

00:25:28.320 And so they're not focused on the things that we really want them to do, like making sure

00:25:32.180 that we have a functioning electricity grid or that we're creating the best jobs in America

00:25:36.460 right here in Texas, or that we have world-class schools, or that we make progress on the

00:25:40.980 things that most of us actually agree on, like expanding Medicaid or legalizing marijuana.

00:25:46.540 Instead, they're focusing on the kind of extremist policies around abortion or permitless carry

00:25:53.820 or even in our schools that really only divide us and keep us apart and stop us from working

00:25:59.620 together on the truly big things that we want to achieve for one another.

00:26:04.660 Why did I play so much of that clip?

00:26:06.360 I have no idea.

00:26:07.820 But you have to respect, in a way, just how blatant Beto O'Rourke is.

00:26:13.020 He's desperate to be in charge somehow of someone.

00:26:18.140 He's just desperate for something.

00:26:20.560 He wants the attention.

00:26:21.580 He wants to be in charge.

00:26:22.460 He's power hungry.

00:26:23.660 He's attention starved.

00:26:24.900 And so he's running through.

00:26:26.540 Okay, I'll be senator.

00:26:28.540 I think I'm cut out for that.

00:26:29.980 Nope, you don't want me for that.

00:26:30.940 Okay, then how about I'll be president?

00:26:32.320 Nope.

00:26:32.580 Okay, well, how about, all right, then I'll be governor.

00:26:34.500 Oh, no, not that.

00:26:35.340 Well, then I'll be, I don't know, I'll be the captain of the bowling team.

00:26:38.900 How about that?

00:26:39.280 And I love how he talks about, well, the people have said, we have to, we have to get down to what the people of Texas really care about.

00:26:48.580 What are the things that really affect their lives?

00:26:53.260 Yeah, equity and tolerance, have some more drag queen story hours, because that's what the Democrat Party thinks people actually care about and want. 1.00

00:27:00.620 Once again, of course, what you hear there, the opposite is the reality that what makes the Democrat Party, what makes Democrats, Democrat governors and Democrats at every level, what makes them ineffectual?

00:27:16.920 What makes them impotent leaders, makes them bad leaders, is that they're, they have, they're totally unconcerned about, about the practical, everyday act of governing.

00:27:32.700 They don't care about people's everyday lives.

00:27:35.660 That's why they're so dismissive of inflation, gas prices going up, supply chain crisis.

00:27:44.240 What do we hear from Democrats in the media?

00:27:47.640 Well, you know, it's, just deal with it, you'll be fine.

00:27:52.060 So you got to buy one less TV, what's the big deal?

00:27:55.060 You got to pay a little bit more for milk.

00:27:56.460 I mean, come on, just, just drink less milk.

00:27:58.180 These are the everyday practical things that affect people's lives, and that's exactly what they don't care about.

00:28:09.840 Because on the left, all, all, all that matters is ideology.

00:28:15.080 So they are always in service to ideology.

00:28:19.280 You know, if you have a Democrat governor of Texas, he's not, he's not serving the people of Texas.

00:28:23.400 He's serving the ideology first and foremost.

00:28:28.180 I think Beto O'Rourke just has, he has some sort of, he is, he is playing out his fetish in, in, in real time in front of the, in front of the entire world.

00:28:36.160 He has, he has a humiliation fetish, a fetish for losing.

00:28:38.640 And I really, I would appreciate it if he would keep this behind closed doors.

00:28:41.820 We don't all have to witness it.

00:28:43.700 Tony Fauci has some thoughts about the liberty versus safety debate as he continues to morph into just a full-on supervillain.

00:28:50.780 And he even kind of looks like one now. 0.72

00:28:52.760 Let's watch that.

00:28:53.580 Well, one of the things that to me was most difficult to accept is that we put together a good plan for how we were going to try and dampen down the spread of infection early on.

00:29:07.640 Thinking that that was accepted by everybody.

00:29:10.100 And then the next day, the president saying free Michigan, free Virginia.

00:29:16.420 I didn't quite understand what the purpose of that was, except to put this misplaced perception about people's individual right to make a decision that supersedes the societal safety.

00:29:32.260 It was at that point that I realized that I would have to just get out there myself and say things that clearly were going to be contradictory.

00:29:46.920 You know, for me, the main point there is he's wearing a turtleneck underneath a button down and a suit jacket.

00:29:52.420 That's, that's, that's what I'm focusing on first and foremost.

00:29:56.060 Oh, but, but we have, uh, you know, making decisions that, that undermine the societal safety, whatever the heck that's supposed to mean.

00:30:08.500 Um, as Fauci just becomes, and he's been pretty explicit about this the entire time, but.

00:30:16.100 You know, we know traditionally in America, what our founding fathers always said is, you know, is, is, uh, is that we, we don't sacrifice liberty for safety.

00:30:24.780 And he's, and he's, he's been pretty straightforward about saying, no, it's the other way around.

00:30:30.100 Give up all your freedoms and we'll keep you safe.

00:30:33.640 Um, okay.

00:30:34.400 I wanted to mention this.

00:30:35.020 This is from NBC.

00:30:35.920 A city in Michigan is apparently the first in the nation to elect an all Muslim city council reflecting a more racially diverse landscape in local governance.

00:30:45.080 Three candidates, one election to the city council in, um, in Hamtramck last week, H A M T R A M C K. 1.00

00:30:55.040 Is the name of the town.

00:30:56.380 How do you pronounce that?

00:30:57.700 Um, I'm not great with pronunciation, but you've got, you know, you've got three consonants in a row.

00:31:01.560 So what am I supposed to do with that?

00:31:03.520 Uh, all six identify as Muslim.

00:31:05.900 Hamtramck, part of the greater Detroit area also elected its first Muslim mayor to round out the city's government.

00:31:12.080 The Muslim public affairs council, a national American Muslim advocacy and public policy organization said it's the first and only city that they're aware of that has a full Muslim city council and mayor.

00:31:21.820 So a couple of problems here.

00:31:25.220 First of all, uh, we, we see this, uh, this same confusion with the media where they seem to think that Muslim is a race.

00:31:31.940 So they say we, well, they, they elected an all Muslim city council, which is a reflection of racial diversity.

00:31:40.100 Muslim again is, is, is not actually race.

00:31:41.940 It's a religion.

00:31:43.200 Don't mean to split hairs there, but I don't think it's really splitting hairs.

00:31:45.660 I think it's an important point, but also how is this diversity?

00:31:51.720 It's people of all the same quote unquote race, uh, to use the media's language.

00:31:58.460 So in, in all Muslim, you have a city council where it's all one identity group and that's diversity.

00:32:07.600 Well, no, remember what we talked about yesterday when it comes to diversity.

00:32:14.660 Uh, as I said, this is, this is a perfect example of the point I was making yesterday.

00:32:20.480 Diversity. 0.68

00:32:21.160 When you, when you hear someone on the left talk about diversity, what they really mean is getting rid of the white males. 0.88

00:32:28.840 That's what it means. 0.96

00:32:29.640 And that's why, as long as you get the white males out, they don't really care what the racial makeup is.

00:32:39.120 So they're not an all, all Muslim, all, uh, people of, uh, of middle Eastern descent.

00:32:44.700 That's perfectly fine. 0.94

00:32:46.560 They're not going to worry about, Hey, maybe we should get a black person in there. 0.99

00:32:50.120 Uh, maybe we should get a transgender person in there. 1.00

00:32:54.120 If it was all males, they wouldn't worry about that. 0.98

00:32:56.380 Just as long as you get the white males out. 0.98

00:33:02.560 The, the, uh, push for diversity is a push for excluding white males from society. 0.58

00:33:09.700 And that is again, proven by the fact that as long as you never hear them complain ever, there is never a complaint about diversity.

00:33:20.300 In any, in any institutional organization, as long as the white males are pushed out, you get them out. 0.97

00:33:25.840 And it doesn't matter what the makeup is, what the percentages are, makes no difference. 0.95

00:33:33.200 Diversity is, I say again, an anti-white male conspiracy. 0.81

00:33:36.260 That's what it is.

00:33:39.140 Which, which is, which is the only way.

00:33:40.960 I mean, that's the only way to make sense of the claim that an all Muslim city council is diverse.

00:33:46.300 All right.

00:33:48.280 Um, so I've had this for a few days.

00:33:49.580 I've wanted to play.

00:33:50.320 Here's a CNN contributor who is, uh, allegedly a Republican, at least at one point is Republican.

00:33:55.800 I don't know if he still considers himself one.

00:33:57.420 He, uh, is laughing about parents who are worried that kids are being exposed to pornography, pornographic content in school.

00:34:03.980 He thinks that's hilarious.

00:34:04.860 And let's listen to him.

00:34:06.920 I was just going to say real quick, all those parents worried about pornography in the literature.

00:34:13.420 Kids ain't worried about pornography in the literature.

00:34:15.480 You better take your son's phone and take a look at what that bad boy is downloading.

00:34:19.580 Baby?

00:34:20.120 You better, you better go.

00:34:22.440 Go to, go to that, go to that, uh, that school, that school dance and see what they're doing out behind the school, baby.

00:34:28.340 Come on now, these parents acted like they weren't teenagers.

00:34:34.840 Hello.

00:34:35.960 And they don't have their kids' password.

00:34:37.760 So even if they got the phone, they couldn't see what's on it because they don't even know what their kids are watching on the phone.

00:34:44.200 Hello.

00:34:46.460 Uh, incredible insight and analysis from, from them.

00:34:50.060 Hello.

00:34:50.460 That's, that's what we're getting now from, from MSNPC.

00:34:54.060 Um, but it's, it's not really even funny.

00:34:56.200 I mean, to, to these degenerate weirdos, you know, the idea that we should protect our children from pornographic content, it's, uh, it's hilarious.

00:35:04.600 They, they, they, it's, it's funny to them. 0.52

00:35:07.620 They're not simply disagreeing.

00:35:09.100 They, they think it's funny.

00:35:10.040 They're laughing at you as a parent and your concern for protecting, um, the, the, the innocence of your children.

00:35:17.960 And the way they look at it is, you know, there's, there's, there's, there's no point.

00:35:23.660 I mean, they see, and being pretty honest about it here, the way they, the way they see it, kids are already sexualized.

00:35:32.640 Um, there's no point in trying to stop it.

00:35:35.280 There's no point in trying to prevent it and protect them.

00:35:37.900 Um, and if they're being exposed to pornography on the phone, then you might as well expose them to it at school.

00:35:46.900 You know, once, once that threshold has been crossed, then, you know, Hey, game, game on the way they, the way they figure.

00:35:57.900 And if there are parents who have successfully, um, protected their kids from this kind of content, well, you know, those, those, those parents have their kids in a bubble and it's, uh, it's for the kid's own benefit that they are removed from that bubble, whether the parents want them to or not.

00:36:13.020 But by the way, just so you know, it is actually possible.

00:36:19.620 I'm not saying it's necessarily easy.

00:36:22.360 Um, it is possible to protect your kids from this kind of content.

00:36:29.000 I mean, Michael Steele there is, is right about one thing.

00:36:33.480 He's right that if you're, if your kid has a, has a smartphone, if you give a smartphone to your kid with internet access.

00:36:40.760 I mean, it almost doesn't matter how old they are.

00:36:45.120 And if they've had it for any length of time, um, then they've almost certainly been exposed to all manner of filth and objectionable content that you as a parent shouldn't want them to see.

00:36:55.120 So he's right about that.

00:36:57.020 He's wrong in thinking that it's funny.

00:37:00.080 The corruption of kids to him is, is, is, is a funny thing.

00:37:03.620 He's wrong about that.

00:37:04.320 You know, and he's also wrong that even if that's true, that it somehow justifies pornographic content at school, but it is correct.

00:37:15.440 That's something parents need to need to understand.

00:37:17.760 If you give this kind of, if you give that sort of tool to your child who is not old enough to use it appropriately, um, then he is going to be exposed to it.

00:37:30.680 And it's got nothing to do with, I hear from parents sometimes who say, uh, well, I, I, you know, I, I trust my kids.

00:37:37.160 I trust them.

00:37:38.980 And that's why I'll, I'll give them the phone.

00:37:40.520 Um, this is not about, this is not about trust.

00:37:46.740 Kids at a certain age don't have the psychological ability to, um, to navigate cyberspace, to navigate the internet and avoid this kind of content.

00:38:00.780 This, this is where the idea of consent, this is why we say that children are not old enough to consent to sexual activity.

00:38:14.160 Well, they're also not, even if, if you give them the phone and they make the quote unquote choice to click on something or to go to Pornhub or whatever,

00:38:22.380 it's not really a choice because they can't actually consent to being exposed to that.

00:38:27.760 You know, when you, when you watch pornography, you are being, you, you are, you are now involved in someone else's sexual activity.

00:38:37.700 You're, you are involved as a spectator, but that still is involvement.

00:38:42.920 You are in a certain way taking part in this activity.

00:38:49.000 And whatever choice a child makes with the phone, it's not really a choice because they cannot choose that.

00:38:53.960 All of our laws on consent are based on the assumption, the correct assumption that children are not psychologically capable of making that kind of choice.

00:39:04.140 So you give it, you give the phone to your child.

00:39:09.860 This is what's going to happen.

00:39:11.340 Uh, so as, as I always say, just take the, there's no reason there's, there's no real good reason to let your kid have the phone.

00:39:18.200 Just take the phone away.

00:39:20.580 If you're worried about their, you know, they, they need to be able to get ahold of you or something like that.

00:39:24.820 Um, give them a phone, give them a flip phone, no internet access.

00:39:28.200 Will the other kids, you know, think it's funny?

00:39:33.000 Yeah, but, but who cares?

00:39:36.880 You can preserve your child's innocence.

00:39:41.880 Um, or you can protect them from the snickering and laughing from other kids.

00:39:46.840 You can kind of choose which one you're going to prioritize as a parent.

00:39:51.860 Um, what else do we got here?

00:39:54.220 This is from, uh, the independent.

00:39:55.760 A police report was filed following the recent on a onstage urination incident during a performance by U.S. band Brass Against.

00:40:04.580 Last week, the group singer, Sofia Uresta, was filmed urinating on a fan's face midway through a rendition of Rage Against the Machine to Wake Up in Daytona, Florida.

00:40:15.840 Before inviting the man to lie down on stage, Uresta had told the crowd, I got to pee and I can't make it to the bathroom, so we might as well make a show out of it.

00:40:23.300 And then she peed on the guy's face. 1.00

00:40:28.640 On stage.

00:40:30.080 The band subsequently apologized for the incident, writing on Twitter, Sofia got carried away.

00:40:34.400 That's not something the rest of us expected, and it's not something you'll see again at our shows.

00:40:39.000 Thanks for bringing it last night, Daytona.

00:40:42.900 She got carried away.

00:40:44.120 That's why she peed on a guy's face. 1.00

00:40:45.600 This is just, this is gross. 0.96

00:40:47.800 This is gross.

00:40:48.620 I can't even joke about it. 0.94

00:40:50.160 Piss poor judgment by everybody involved.

00:40:53.340 All I can say to this singer is, you're in trouble.

00:40:57.020 And I think that from what I understand, Sofia's from France, because I heard someone in the audience point at her and say European.

00:41:04.700 So, but at least the fan had a VIP ticket.

00:41:08.360 Sorry, I'm done. 0.85

00:41:10.600 In all seriousness, this is degenerate filth.

00:41:13.500 I hope everybody involved is arrested.

00:41:14.800 I mean, everybody involved.

00:41:15.700 Even people in the audience.

00:41:16.780 I think just guilt by association.

00:41:18.540 Arrest them too.

00:41:19.260 Arrest everybody.

00:41:19.920 That's my real opinion of this.

00:41:22.140 Now let's get to the comment section.

00:42:36.900 Diane says, I get the point Matt was making about diversity in the military.

00:42:40.500 However, he did throw down the gauntlet.

00:42:42.620 I would suggest the Navajo Code Talkers is a historical example of when diversity helped our military win.

00:42:48.480 Well, no, that's not an example of diversity helping the military win because the example that you're providing is all about skill, ingenuity, effectiveness.

00:42:59.520 That's not diversity.

00:43:02.060 Okay?

00:43:02.400 This is not in World War II.

00:43:04.920 We made the decision that we're going to prioritize diversity.

00:43:07.540 And then, and so that's why we're going to bring, no, this was, that was not diversity for diversity's sake.

00:43:15.680 So when I say that diversity itself has never helped any military win any engagement, that is not to say that every victorious military has to be racially homogenous.

00:43:28.380 That's not the point.

00:43:29.320 It's just that everybody involved, you know, they should be there operating as one unit and the top priority is to effectively defeat the enemy.

00:43:41.500 And they are going to utilize any strategies and bring in anybody they need to bring in to achieve that, that, that goal.

00:43:50.900 Okay.

00:43:51.380 Those are the victorious armies that do that.

00:43:56.000 When you prioritize diversity, when you're, when you're bringing people in, not because of their skills, not because they're qualified, not because they're going to be effective killers of the enemy, but you're bringing them in just to fit some kind of racial quota.

00:44:11.660 That's the problem.

00:44:12.580 That's what I'm talking about.

00:44:14.800 Nick says, is anyone else's favorite part of the Matt Wall show when Matt describes his weekend and everyday interactions with his wife, kids, and family?

00:44:20.900 Whenever Matt briefly mentions his kids waking up singing, for example, it still cracks me up as much as it did the first time.

00:44:26.000 And then Paul responds to Nick's comment and says, I don't like the family stories.

00:44:30.360 I don't know them or care what they do.

00:44:32.280 I want the time spent on relevant topics.

00:44:34.940 All right, Paul, what am I, just a piece of meat to you?

00:44:38.380 You don't want to know about me and my life?

00:44:41.040 You just want to hear the opinions, huh?

00:44:43.840 I feel so objectified.

00:44:45.840 Ted says, quoting, Matt Walsh says he wants slave labor for his show, Media Matters.

00:44:52.460 Well, yeah, I did.

00:44:52.960 I actually did say exactly that.

00:44:54.240 I am looking for, you know, for some slave labor. 0.62

00:44:58.140 Not a racial thing.

00:44:59.660 You know, I'll take slaves of any race whatsoever. 1.00

00:45:02.460 All can apply for the internship, for the slavery slash internship position. 0.85

00:45:07.800 Candid Apple says, do this, Matt.

00:45:10.220 When our oldest son had picked up the Santa thing and it was time for him to grow out of it,

00:45:13.320 we told him the secret, that Santa was a real person who lived a long time ago, who was loving

00:45:17.940 and gave gifts to people, and that ever since, people have continued to give gifts in his name.

00:45:22.320 The people who know this secret and keep it can now be Santa and set the presents under the tree.

00:45:26.660 He loved it and was so excited to sneak through the house at midnight to put the presents under the tree.

00:45:31.340 This also prevents your kids from being those brats who make the public announcement at the school lunch table.

00:45:35.900 Santa's not real.

00:45:36.700 Yeah, I mean, that's, if you got to break the news, that's, I think, probably the best way to do it.

00:45:43.520 Not a lot of consolation in that, though, when you say that, well, you know, Santa was real, sort of,

00:45:48.860 but he lived a long time ago and now he's dead.

00:45:52.160 Not a great consolation there.

00:45:53.880 Hey, sorry, kid, you missed him.

00:45:56.200 Yeah, I mean, if you'd happen to be alive 1,500 years ago, then maybe you could have seen Santa, but he's dead now.

00:46:02.940 Decomposing.

00:46:03.300 So you can, which is better, to tell your kids when you're breaking the news that Santa isn't real or that he's dead?

00:46:10.880 That's an interesting question.

00:46:14.520 I guess if you really want to save yourself from the charge of lying, you could always tell your kids,

00:46:19.720 I mean, now you're lying some more, but another way to go about it is to say,

00:46:22.860 hey, listen, you know, Santa's, he's not, he's not here anymore.

00:46:28.780 He doesn't exist.

00:46:30.020 Oh, you mean you lied to me?

00:46:30.880 No, no, no, he was, he, he, he died actually last night.

00:46:33.700 So he's dead now.

00:46:34.360 He's gone.

00:46:35.100 We got to move on from Santa.

00:46:36.420 I didn't lie to you, but now he's dead.

00:46:40.100 Another comment says,

00:46:41.300 I don't think you ever need to tell your kids Santa isn't real.

00:46:44.740 They'll just naturally figure it out when they're old enough.

00:46:47.480 Well, no, it's not natural.

00:46:48.900 It's not, it's not, it's not a natural process of evolution.

00:46:51.900 This is some other kid is going to tell them and tell them in a mocking way.

00:46:57.620 There's going to be that conversation where another kid says, you still believe in Santa?

00:47:01.720 And then, and they're like, they could learn that way.

00:47:03.780 That's the natural way as you put it.

00:47:05.320 Or you can tell them, you know, you can talk to them in a safe environment.

00:47:09.320 Or you're not going to make fun of them because that would be adding insult to injury to tell 1.00

00:47:16.220 your kid Santa isn't real and then to say, I can't believe you ever bought that idiot. 1.00

00:47:20.700 Don't do that when you tell your kids. 1.00

00:47:24.180 And finally, the amateur says, Matt, why would you lie to your kids about the mythical nature

00:47:27.940 of Santa?

00:47:28.560 My parents never even allowed us to believe that Santa was real, despite how the world

00:47:31.780 works and let us know that our parents, our presence came from them to appropriately

00:47:35.660 place our gratitude.

00:47:36.620 Also Jesus being the reason for the season.

00:47:38.140 I expect better of you.

00:47:40.140 Ah, yeah, yeah.

00:47:40.800 Your parents are so much better than me.

00:47:42.080 Thank you for that.

00:47:42.780 I can only hope to bask in their, uh, in, in, in the light of their superiority.

00:47:48.280 So thank you for that.

00:47:50.280 Now, again, you're, I take from your comment here, you're talking about your parents.

00:47:54.580 That means that you don't have kids.

00:47:58.340 Okay.

00:47:59.380 And don't take this the wrong way, but in general, if you don't have kids, your opinion on anything 0.94

00:48:06.080 parent related is completely irrelevant and silly.

00:48:11.340 No offense.

00:48:13.800 Um, here's what you have to understand about, about young kids.

00:48:17.200 The, the words not real to a young child don't mean anything.

00:48:25.060 Okay.

00:48:26.420 That, that doesn't, they don't, at a, at a certain age, kids who are three, four years

00:48:30.800 old, they don't understand the difference between fantasy and reality.

00:48:36.960 There's, there's just a conceptual disconnect.

00:48:39.520 And so you can, you can tell them, you can say, well, Santa's not real.

00:48:44.160 That doesn't mean anything to them because to them and their, you know, they, they feel

00:48:48.580 like Santa is real.

00:48:49.480 I mean, and then leftists as the, even as adults, they still operate this way.

00:48:53.080 They operate like a four-year-old.

00:48:54.780 Um, all four-year-olds are kind of leftists in a certain way.

00:48:57.240 So at four, they, from, from their perspective, they feel like Santa is real.

00:49:01.880 They've seen him on TV.

00:49:03.020 They've seen him at the mall.

00:49:04.180 And to say, he's not real, even though I've seen him and I feel like he's real to them.

00:49:08.740 That doesn't mean anything.

00:49:11.200 And that's why, as I said yesterday, kids also at that age, uh, believe that dragons

00:49:17.220 are real and fairies are real. 0.98

00:49:19.100 And they think that all the superheroes that they see on TV are also real and flying around.

00:49:23.220 That's the world they live in.

00:49:24.120 And it's, it's a, it's a fun world.

00:49:25.620 It's much more fun than the real world.

00:49:27.100 Let's be honest.

00:49:29.780 So in order to break your kids and to make sure of, of this belief, you have to take all

00:49:37.940 of those fantasies and all of that imagination away from them.

00:49:43.480 Did your parents also work really hard to make sure you didn't believe in dragons and

00:49:46.520 fairies? 0.90

00:49:49.560 When you came in and said, oh, uh, daddy, I saw a fairy in the garden.

00:49:52.900 No, you didn't.

00:49:54.200 Fairies aren't real. 1.00

00:49:56.020 Is that how it worked?

00:49:56.960 See, I'm not going to do that to my kids.

00:49:58.580 And that's why it goes this way.

00:50:00.440 It's certainly no secret that the left is attempting to force compliance across the

00:50:04.100 board, whether it's the media lying to push the left's gun control narrative over the

00:50:07.560 course of the Rittenhouse trial or the federal government's attempt to enforce vaccine mandates

00:50:12.120 on employers.

00:50:12.940 It's become patently obvious that compliance is the goal.

00:50:16.060 Why?

00:50:16.340 Because the left doesn't want you to have autonomy over your own body.

00:50:20.080 They don't want you to be able to defend yourself, nor do they want you to stay employed if you

00:50:24.120 won't comply to them.

00:50:25.720 That's why we here at the Daily Wire are fighting every day against tyranny.

00:50:29.100 From our honest coverage of the Rittenhouse trial to the lawsuit we've taken out against

00:50:32.400 the Biden administration for their unconstitutional vaccine mandates, we're applying the pressure

00:50:36.060 and we're already creating change.

00:50:37.540 The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued a temporary stay preventing Biden's mandate

00:50:41.560 from going into effect, citing grave statutory and constitutional issues.

00:50:44.600 However, Biden is determined to pass these mandates, and we cannot let our guard down

00:50:48.540 for a second.

00:50:49.400 We're not just fighting for the Daily Wire employees.

00:50:50.880 We're fighting for all Americans.

00:50:52.580 This is an urgent matter, and your freedom depends on it.

00:50:55.280 If you want to support the fight to make your personal medical decisions without government

00:50:58.720 interference, sign our petition against the Biden administration's authoritarian mandate.

00:51:02.760 Hundreds of thousands of Americans have already signed the petition, but we need more people

00:51:06.020 to sign it.

00:51:06.620 So please head to dailywire.com slash do not comply to sign the petition today.

00:51:11.900 And finally, the most important thing to tell you about what I've been waiting to get to.

00:52:12.220 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:17.940 Today we cancel a woman by the name of Jessica Taylor. 1.00

00:52:21.300 Dr. Jessica Taylor, to be specific, she has a PhD in forensic psychology, and for some

00:52:25.680 reason needs that piece of paper acknowledged every time someone says her name.

00:52:29.160 She's also a self-described radical feminist author who recently wrote the book Sexy But 0.99

00:52:33.600 Psycho.

00:52:34.800 I don't know anything about the book, but based on the title, I'm going to assume that it's

00:52:38.260 half biography and half fiction.

00:52:39.880 I'll let you decide which half is which.

00:52:41.640 In any case, yesterday, Dr. Taylor tweeted this.

00:52:45.120 She says,

00:52:45.560 I wish there was more honesty in the world about how many women feel trapped by motherhood, 0.80

00:52:50.060 marriage, and being a 24-7 slave to men and children, whilst the TV and magazines frame

00:52:54.820 it as some sort of feminine ideal bliss.

00:52:57.560 So many women regret it, but they can't say a word. 0.99

00:53:00.840 She continues in a follow-up.

00:53:02.020 She says,

00:53:02.300 Okay, to use the tedious modern cliche, there's a lot to unpack here.

00:53:18.980 First of all, you might ask how Jessica knows what many women think and feel if, by her 1.00

00:53:24.800 admission, they don't say a word.

00:53:27.320 It would seem that she has a prejudice against marriage and family life and merely assumes

00:53:31.920 that the prejudice must be shared by most other people, which is common in narcissists.

00:53:36.780 They struggle to see the world as distinct from themselves.

00:53:40.020 As a narcissist, she can't fathom that other humans exist in the world as wholly separate

00:53:44.760 entities and live their own lives just as vivid as her own and may see things differently

00:53:49.440 and have different feelings.

00:53:51.120 She also knows that if she is alone in her contempt for the nuclear family, or in a minority

00:53:55.960 at least, then that makes her simply a bitter, lonely person.

00:53:59.740 It would mean that it's possible for her to be another way, that another path was available,

00:54:05.500 but she chose this instead.

00:54:07.980 And she can't face that possibility, so she projects her neuroses and her hatreds onto others. 0.95

00:54:12.780 And, you know, I was able to come up with that whole diagnosis without even getting my

00:54:16.880 psychiatry PhD.

00:54:18.020 That's how good I am.

00:54:19.360 Now, that aside, there are a few other pieces of this puzzle that need closer inspection.

00:54:22.360 In fact, nearly every word is wrong, so it might be best to go, again, line by line and

00:54:26.960 discover just how much wrongness there is here.

00:54:30.340 So, again, she begins,

00:54:31.260 I wish there was more honesty in the world about how many women feel trapped by motherhood 0.85

00:54:34.440 marriage and being a 24-7 slave to men and children. 0.67

00:54:36.520 Okay, the problem there is most obviously that she compares motherhood and wifehood to slavery. 1.00

00:54:44.000 The difference, though, is that women choose to be mothers and wives unless they live in, 1.00

00:54:47.760 like, Saudi Arabia or something.

00:54:49.500 But Jessica doesn't make that stipulation. 0.99

00:54:51.420 These rad femmes never do. 1.00

00:54:53.560 They tend to let the fundamentalist Muslim world off the hook completely. 0.96

00:54:57.100 But apart from instances of arranged marriages and actual sex slavery and that sort of thing,

00:55:02.360 this is a life that women choose. 1.00

00:55:03.700 Also, in slavery, you're producing goods or performing a service for someone else with

00:55:09.200 no benefit to yourself.

00:55:10.340 In motherhood, you're helping to build and maintain a family, your own family.

00:55:14.080 It is yours.

00:55:15.260 You are giving yourself to something that is yours in a very intimate and personal sense.

00:55:19.400 And in that, you find another crucial distinction.

00:55:21.880 Slavery is dehumanizing.

00:55:23.360 A person in slavery is not a person but a machine.

00:55:27.120 That'll be the case for our intern whenever we hire one. 0.99

00:55:30.040 In family life, on the other hand, you are fulfilled.

00:55:33.000 You're made whole.

00:55:33.860 You're edified, completed, lifted up by your relationship with your family and your service

00:55:37.760 to your family.

00:55:39.460 I could go on, but hopefully I've already given enough differences between motherhood and

00:55:42.660 slavery to convince you.

00:55:43.680 Hopefully, you didn't need to be convinced in the first place.

00:55:45.780 Continuing, she says, whilst the TV and magazines frame it, marriage, motherhood, as some sort

00:55:50.620 of feminine ideal bliss.

00:55:51.860 Now, this would be a good point if it was coming from someone who hasn't watched any TV show

00:55:57.040 or film or read any magazine since about the year 1942.

00:56:00.520 In modern times, however, Hollywood is constantly hammering on the point that the traditional

00:56:05.520 suburban white picket fence life is actually a grim dystopian hell.

00:56:10.360 That's what American Beauty was all about. 1.00

00:56:12.500 And many films before and since have revisited that theme.

00:56:15.340 Hollywood at some point discovered the shocking truth that sometimes women in single family 1.00

00:56:20.580 homes in the suburbs aren't happy.

00:56:22.440 And they since decided that all women in those types of setups are unhappy all the time and 0.98

00:56:26.960 that they're all having illicit affairs and their husbands are all closeted homosexuals. 0.97

00:56:30.740 This has been Hollywood's version of suburbia for decades now. 0.96

00:56:35.060 Jessica, in fact, got this idea from Hollywood.

00:56:37.400 Then she says, it really is one of the biggest taboos in the world, women who regret having 1.00

00:56:42.020 children or regret getting married or both.

00:56:44.600 Now, this goes back to the first line where she calls for honesty.

00:56:47.640 It's pretty common these days for people to confuse self-centered whining with taboo breaking

00:56:51.920 honesty.

00:56:53.000 And we see it again here.

00:56:54.880 I mean, we've all known people in our lives who profess that they want to be honest about

00:56:58.600 their feelings.

00:56:59.640 And what that means in practice is just that they complain all the time and they whine about

00:57:03.860 every misfortune or discomfort.

00:57:05.100 And they expect you to pity them for their troubles, but also admire them for their bold

00:57:09.000 and courageous honesty at the same time.

00:57:11.140 But the fact is that even if a woman is feeling unhappy at home or in her marriage, she should

00:57:16.320 not be honest about it in the sense of talking about it publicly.

00:57:20.700 She especially should not be honest about her regrets about having children if she is, in 0.98

00:57:24.620 fact, experiencing those regrets.

00:57:27.120 I doubt that those regrets are nearly as common as Jessica believes and hopes.

00:57:31.180 But if a certain portion of women feel that way, but they don't say it out loud,

00:57:35.100 good for them.

00:57:36.960 They shouldn't say it out loud.

00:57:38.840 Your parenting regrets are the kind of thing you keep to yourself, a burden you carry on

00:57:43.640 your own as you work to fix whatever character defect has caused you to feel that way.

00:57:49.460 Finally, she refers to the women who had big plans, big personalities, and big ambitions 1.00

00:57:53.400 find themselves trapped for decades, making themselves smaller and smaller.

00:57:56.800 Now, I fail to see why anyone's personality should be constrained by marriage and family

00:58:02.340 life.

00:58:02.840 My wife has personality for days. 1.00

00:58:05.560 If anything, her personality has become bigger and more boisterous since I met her. 1.00

00:58:09.220 Some of that may be compensation for the fact that she married a cynical bastard. 1.00

00:58:12.180 I don't know. 0.99

00:58:12.520 But as for big plans and big ambitions, I mean, what do you mean?

00:58:17.020 Sitting in a cubicle?

00:58:19.080 Working in middle management somewhere?

00:58:21.740 Being on a payroll?

00:58:23.960 Those are the big plans?

00:58:25.060 There's no reason why a woman can't do those things also while having a family. 1.00

00:58:30.180 Many women do. 1.00

00:58:31.500 But the way these people paint the working world as some kind of utopia where dreams are

00:58:35.580 fulfilled and people become larger and more vivid and more interesting human beings, I

00:58:40.080 find that laughable, especially coming from people who most of the time fashion themselves

00:58:45.380 as anti-corporate socialists.

00:58:47.800 So which is it?

00:58:48.740 Is the corporate world the fulfillment of a woman's dreams and the avenue to her liberation

00:58:54.000 and happiness?

00:58:54.700 Or is it exploitation and its own form of slavery?

00:58:59.700 The left's opinion on the subject seems to change with the tide, as with every other subject.

00:59:04.260 It's all a mess, therefore, just like Jessica's worldview and probably her life as well.

00:59:09.200 Now, I don't think that working a job is exploitation.

00:59:13.360 But I do know that in the working world, in your job, you are completely replaceable.

00:59:18.740 You will leave your job one day, and you'll be replaced the next day, and nobody will remember

00:59:25.360 you or care that you're gone.

00:59:27.360 The hole you leave behind will be filled as quickly as it was made, and that will be it.

00:59:32.940 In your family, that's not the case.

00:59:35.580 If you leave your family through death or by your own choice or however, whatever the case,

00:59:42.080 a hole will be left behind that nobody will ever fill completely.

00:59:45.720 And you will be missed and remembered, and the impact you made will be felt, for better

00:59:50.440 or worse, for generations.

00:59:53.300 That's the difference between your job and your family.

00:59:56.800 And it's another reason why everything Jessica said is wrong.

00:59:59.560 Every word, every line, every assumption underpinning it. 0.99

01:00:01.920 Her ideas are silly and trite and out of touch and sad and wrong. 0.96

01:00:04.820 But other than that, great points. 0.98
