The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 890 - The Only Rule The Left Cares About

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matwell Show, a recent CNN article compares Joe Rogan's use of the N-word to January 6th.

00:00:05.720 And January 6th, as we know, according to the left, was as bad as 9-11. 0.99

00:00:08.920 This may all seem very stupid on the surface, and it is stupid, but there's something deeper going on here. 0.98

00:00:12.960 We'll talk about what that is today. 0.99

00:00:14.140 Also, a new euphemism for rioters just dropped.

00:00:16.660 It's the best one of all. You've got to hear it.

00:00:18.460 Plus, the ATF essentially encourages people to make false reports against their enemies for revenge. 0.99

00:00:24.160 And a gender educator explains why you ladies are misogynists if you don't like seeing penises in your locker rooms. 1.00

00:00:30.720 And also, a model says that she doesn't need any man because she's in love with herself. 0.99

00:00:35.340 Will autosexuals now be welcomed into the LGBT alphabet camp? 1.00

00:00:39.740 We'll talk about that and much more today on The Matwell Show.

00:00:41.840 You know, the thing that really defines a room, especially your living room, is the couch.

00:00:55.460 I mean, that's what the room is there for.

00:00:57.560 And that's why you've got to make sure you get the best couch, the best sofa possible.

00:01:01.700 If you've been listening to the show for a while, you've probably heard me talk about my Helix mattress.

00:01:06.240 Helix has left the bedroom, though, and they've started making sofas.

00:01:09.300 They just launched a new company called Allform, and they're already making the best sofas we've ever seen.

00:01:14.520 So, what makes an Allform sofa really cool?

00:01:16.140 For starters, it's the easiest way that you can customize a sofa using premium materials and at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.

00:01:22.840 You can pick your fabric. It's spill, stain, and scratch-resistant as well.

00:01:27.160 Then you can pick the color of the sofa, the color of the legs, sofa size, the shape to make sure it's perfect for you and your home.

00:01:33.020 Usually, to get a customized furniture, customized couch, that's going to cost you an arm and a leg, but that's not the case here.

00:01:38.020 They've got armchairs and love seats all the way up to an eight-seat sectional, so there's something for everyone.

00:01:42.460 You can always start small and buy more seats later on if you want your Allform sofa to grow and change with you when you move.

00:01:49.140 Allform sofas are also delivered directly to your door.

00:01:51.680 In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, you would need to hire someone to come and assemble it in your home and break your back, try to put it together yourself.

00:01:57.520 But if getting a sofa without trying in a store sounds a little risky, you don't need to worry.

00:02:02.200 You get 100 days to decide if you want to keep it.

00:02:04.560 That's more than three months, and if you don't love it, they'll pick it up for free and give you a full refund.

00:02:09.200 And Allform is offering 20% off all orders for our listeners at allform.com slash Walsh.

00:02:13.420 To find your perfect sofa, check out allform.com slash Walsh.

00:02:16.260 Joe Rogan's use of the N-word is another January 6th moment.

00:02:44.000 Now, this would have been the perfect headline if only they'd found a way to jam a climate change reference in there as well.

00:02:50.460 As it stands, I have to grade it an 8 out of 10.

00:02:53.280 Pretty solid work, though.

00:02:54.860 CNN was embarrassed by the mockery that followed, and they soon changed the headline to

00:02:59.060 Why Shrugging Off Joe Rogan's Use of the N-Word is So Dangerous.

00:03:03.940 Yes, it is quite dangerous to shrug at a word.

00:03:06.800 The most dangerous kind of shrug of all, in fact. 1.00

00:03:09.360 But this headline is still very stupid. 0.99

00:03:11.180 But sadly, it lacks the comedic punch of the first headline. 0.99

00:03:14.540 Sequels rarely live up to the originals, especially in the comedy genre.

00:03:17.660 But the article itself remained unchanged.

00:03:20.180 And it's worth reading some of this.

00:03:22.320 Here's what it says.

00:03:23.460 The podcaster Joe Rogan did not join a mob that forced lawmakers to flee for their lives.

00:03:28.480 He never carried a Confederate flag out inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

00:03:32.580 No one died trying to stop him from using the N-word.

00:03:35.100 But what Joe Rogan and those that defend him have done, sends videos, clips of him using

00:03:40.740 the N-word surfaced on social media, is arguably just as dangerous as what a mob did when they

00:03:46.300 stormed the U.S. Capitol on January 6th last year.

00:03:49.620 Of course, by the way, nobody died trying to stop the Capitol rioters either.

00:03:53.960 But who has time for such minor details?

00:03:55.900 Things like the truth.

00:03:56.640 Who has time for that? 0.99

00:03:57.220 Nobody does.

00:03:57.620 It continues,

00:03:59.240 Rogan breached a civic norm that has held together since World War II.

00:04:03.500 It's an unspoken agreement that we would never return to the kind of country we used to be.

00:04:08.100 That agreement revolved around this simple rule.

00:04:11.300 A white person would never be able to publicly use the N-word again and not pay a price.

00:04:17.820 Rogan has so far paid no steep professional price for using a racial slur that's been called

00:04:22.920 the nuclear bomb of racial slurs.

00:04:25.600 It may even boost his career.

00:04:27.640 That's what some say happened to another white entertainer who was recently caught using the word.

00:04:32.900 It's a sign of how desensitized we've become to the rising levels of violence,

00:04:37.160 rhetorical and physical, in our country that Rogan's slur was treated as the latest racial

00:04:42.060 outrage of the week.

00:04:43.440 But once we allow a white public figure to repeatedly use the foulest racial epithet in the English

00:04:48.880 language without experiencing any form of punishment, we become a different country.

00:04:52.520 We accept the mainstreaming of a form of political violence that's as dangerous as a January 6th attack.

00:05:01.220 Now, it's hard to know where to begin.

00:05:02.900 First, we have the casual way that words and physical violence are equated.

00:05:07.280 And rhetorical violence, as the author puts it.

00:05:10.860 It may be hard for those of us raised on these sticks and stones may break my bones philosophy

00:05:16.140 to understand how any adult person, especially a man, and I think this article was written

00:05:21.220 by an alleged man, could actually claim with any kind of straight face that a word has done violence to him.

00:05:28.260 But what you have to understand is that we live in the age of psychological man,

00:05:32.620 where a person's emotional and psychological comfort is considered to be the number one priority.

00:05:39.160 Emotional is, emotions, they're not just on par with physical well-being,

00:05:44.140 but actually they're prioritized over it.

00:05:46.120 This is why, for example, a person who feels distraught over their body,

00:05:50.160 their biological identity, is encouraged to mutilate their body for the sake of their psychological self-identity,

00:05:56.600 rather than working to change their psychological self-identity to better comport with their bodies.

00:06:02.940 Your psychological self-identity, your emotional well-being, that is the number one most important thing.

00:06:08.480 In this context, you see how a word or idea or opinion or joke, which causes emotional discomfort,

00:06:16.420 becomes an even worse form of violence than a bullet to your head or a blade to your stomach.

00:06:22.720 But there's something else going on here, too.

00:06:25.340 He says that there's a social contract, a social norm that we've all agreed to,

00:06:31.500 which declares that a white person can never say this certain word in any context.

00:06:36.620 Last night, singer India Arie was on The Daily Show,

00:06:41.020 continuing her campaign against Joe Rogan, and she made a similar point.

00:06:44.960 Listen.

00:06:46.400 When you know you're doing it, and like you said in your monologue,

00:06:50.340 if a person keeps doing it, is that what we call them a racist?

00:06:53.520 So if you know you're doing it and you keep doing it, I would say that is a racist.

00:06:58.740 And so for me, when I think about, I want to be nice.

00:07:02.740 I was going to say this name that I'm tired of saying.

00:07:04.360 But for me, when I think about Joe Rogan, I think that he is being consciously racist.

00:07:16.220 I mean, since the early 1900s, we've had an agreement in our society that we don't say the word

00:07:21.240 or you have to suffer the consequences.

00:07:24.760 Right.

00:07:24.860 And so saying it and then being like, what are you going to do?

00:07:28.860 Oh, sorry, I didn't mean that.

00:07:30.420 Or I didn't understand there was no context under which I should say it.

00:07:34.520 I don't believe that.

00:07:35.680 I think he knew there was no context.

00:07:37.000 I think that's why he was saying it, because it got a rise out of people.

00:07:40.100 That's why he would say it.

00:07:41.400 He knew that it was inappropriate.

00:07:42.800 And I think the fact that he did it repeatedly and was conscious and knew, I think that is being racist.

00:07:53.860 I like how she pretends she didn't want to say Joe Rogan's name.

00:07:58.380 I told myself I wasn't going to say his name.

00:08:00.860 That's the only reason you're being interviewed.

00:08:02.560 The whole reason you're on The Daily Show is to talk about Joe Rogan.

00:08:04.740 Like no one else, no one wants to talk to India-ree for any other reason. 1.00

00:08:07.880 Okay.

00:08:08.900 That's the whole reason you're there is to talk about Joe Rogan.

00:08:11.680 And by the way, we should also mention with Trevor Noah that he's very much been part of this effort to cancel Joe Rogan.

00:08:20.080 But you may have seen some of the screenshots circulating on Twitter from several years ago when Trevor Noah was first announced as the replacement for The Daily Show for Jon Stewart.

00:08:36.180 All of these jokes that he had made in his past came to the surface.

00:08:40.160 So there was this cancel campaign against Trevor Noah.

00:08:42.940 And guess who came to his defense?

00:08:44.900 None other than Joe Rogan.

00:08:45.980 Joe Rogan came out and said, hey, it was just a joke.

00:08:47.680 Everyone back off.

00:08:49.120 And to repay that, Trevor Noah flips it around and joins the mob against him because that's what these people are made of on the left.

00:08:57.600 Now, we're told that there's this rule that we all agreed to.

00:09:00.760 The problem is that we did not all agree to this rule.

00:09:03.440 I didn't agree to it.

00:09:04.700 I don't agree to it.

00:09:06.140 I'm a part of society also, and I haven't signed any social contract.

00:09:10.160 Which declares that the right to use a word, any word, depends on your skin pigment or your country of origin.

00:09:18.880 I don't agree to any rule which allows a member of one racial group to say a word 6,000 times a day if they want, 0.90

00:09:24.800 while a member of another group cannot utter it in any context at all, no matter what.

00:09:29.940 I don't agree to any rule which says that context doesn't matter when it comes to language.

00:09:35.940 Context always matters.

00:09:37.960 You cannot know what anyone is saying or understand anyone's meaning if you ignore context.

00:09:44.760 Context is always important.

00:09:47.200 In fact, she contradicts herself in what she's saying right there because she says,

00:09:52.240 oh, he used the word that he knew was offensive, and he said it because he was trying to get a rise out of people.

00:09:58.480 Okay, well, if you think that was the context, that he was trying to get a rise out of people,

00:10:02.180 and he was just saying it because it's offensive, and he's trying to get attention,

00:10:05.020 I don't know if that's true or not.

00:10:07.540 But if that's true, that means it's not racist.

00:10:10.220 That means his intention was not to be racist.

00:10:12.120 It was just to get attention or to be offensive for the sake of being offensive.

00:10:15.040 Now, you can say what you want about someone doing that, but it's not racist.

00:10:20.040 It's just that's the motivation according to you.

00:10:23.960 But the context doesn't matter.

00:10:26.700 I also have not consented to whatever consequences CNN or India Arie or Trevor Noah,

00:10:32.480 you know, think ought to be doled out to the violators of this agreement that I never signed.

00:10:37.840 I don't agree to any of it.

00:10:39.920 Most everyone in the country has not agreed to any of this.

00:10:43.080 And that's because it's not our rule.

00:10:46.720 It's not society's rule.

00:10:48.540 It's their rule.

00:10:50.280 The leftist elite have come up with these social directives, these kind of cultural regulations,

00:10:55.100 and they demand adherence and will attempt to punish anyone who does not adhere.

00:11:01.360 What we have to understand is that to the leftist elite,

00:11:03.860 their social edicts and ordinances are the most important rules, the most sacred law, the only law, really.

00:11:10.100 This is part of the reason why they've given up on enforcing the actual written law.

00:11:15.060 The law that says you can't do stuff like, you know, rob and kill people.

00:11:19.020 Partly they've abandoned that kind of law and order because they want to destabilize civilization,

00:11:23.140 but also their heart isn't in it.

00:11:25.900 All that matters to them is that you follow their rules.

00:11:29.880 Rules against hurting and killing people.

00:11:31.800 I mean, physically hurting and killing people, not emotionally hurting and killing them.

00:11:35.000 They've been in place in every civilization in one form or another since the dawn of time.

00:11:40.580 The left cannot claim credit for those rules, didn't invent them, and thus doesn't care about them.

00:11:46.280 So they're not emphasized and sometimes are directly and purposefully de-emphasized.

00:11:52.340 For example, a woman in New York named Christina Yuna Lee was murdered inside her apartment by a homeless drifter just last week.

00:11:59.440 The Daily Mail has some of the details.

00:12:01.340 It says a homeless serial criminal accused of murdering an ad creative after following her into her apartment

00:12:06.140 knifed the woman 40 times with one of her own knives and had a sexual motive for doing so, a court heard.

00:12:13.300 Asimad Nash was charged with sexually motivated burglary by prosecutors on Monday,

00:12:18.340 as was revealed his victim, Christina Yuna Lee, was found topless in the bathtub of her Chinatown apartment on Sunday.

00:12:24.300 The charge suggests a possible motive for the brutal murder, which shocked NYC and raised fresh questions about New York State's bail reforms

00:12:31.680 after it was revealed that Nash was a serial criminal on bail for robbery when he allegedly did the killing.

00:12:38.820 Well, of course he was on bail. 0.98

00:12:40.300 That's the detail you can always count on finding in any of these stories about violent scumbags randomly assaulting or killing innocent people. 0.98

00:12:46.800 They're always on bail. 0.97

00:12:48.620 Now, it turns out that Nash had a lengthy rap sheet stretching back years. 0.98

00:12:52.000 He's been a violent, worthless, societal leech for a long time. 0.96

00:12:55.820 But here are the highlights from just the past year. 0.98

00:12:59.220 It says, quote,

00:13:00.160 According to court records, accessed by DailyMail.com, Nash has been arrested four times in the last year alone.

00:13:05.500 His rap sheet included misdemeanor charges of assault, intentional damage to property, harassment, resisting arrest,

00:13:12.480 both attempted and successful escape from police officers, and selling a fare card.

00:13:17.320 Three of these cases remain open, and he has appeared in court on numerous occasions.

00:13:20.720 He was set to appear again before a judge on March 9th on the assault, harassment, and intentional damage to property charges.

00:13:28.000 Now, it doesn't matter how often this sort of thing happens.

00:13:31.320 The left will keep pushing for things like bail reform,

00:13:35.020 ensuring that more and more violent criminals are put back on the street even after they've been arrested,

00:13:39.600 because these rules are not their rules.

00:13:42.160 They quite sincerely feel more outrage about Joe Rogan saying a naughty word than they do about a woman getting stabbed to death in her apartment by a drug-addled vagrant,

00:13:52.340 not only because the vagrant's race makes him still a victim, according to their narrative,

00:13:55.820 but also because the vagrant didn't break any rule that they invented.

00:14:00.180 He violated a different code, the legal code, for one,

00:14:05.940 but also the moral code written in our hearts by natural law and codified by every human civilization since time immemorial.

00:14:13.260 They don't care about that.

00:14:15.020 What matters most is their rule book, which they came up with, and which they add to every day,

00:14:21.080 and whose violators, they believe, should pay the harshest penalty of all.

00:14:26.560 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:37.720 All right, so, you know, I don't want to get too sappy here on a Tuesday,

00:15:41.500 but I have to tell you that, you know, I love my wife.

00:15:44.340 I like to show her how much I appreciate her.

00:15:46.780 And I might not be the most romantic guy in the world,

00:15:49.760 but last night for Valentine's Day, and I'm not trying to brag either.

00:15:54.360 And, you know, if there's any women listening, 1.00

00:15:55.580 I don't want you to feel like your husband or your boyfriend

00:15:59.500 is somehow insufficient because of what I'm going to tell you.

00:16:02.800 I'm not trying to make anyone jealous,

00:16:04.020 but I decided to do something a little special on Valentine's Day,

00:16:07.760 and I took my wife to Cracker Barrel last night.

00:16:12.200 Bit of a splurge, I realize.

00:16:15.040 But I said to my wife, you know what?

00:16:16.180 You deserve this.

00:16:17.660 And I told her, get anything you want from the menu.

00:16:20.480 You want to get the fried chicken?

00:16:22.200 You want to go with the three-side special instead of just the two sides?

00:16:26.840 Go for it, okay?

00:16:28.480 Because I'm here to take care of you.

00:16:30.540 And so that's what we did.

00:16:31.440 And I'm totally serious, by the way.

00:16:32.740 It's not a joke.

00:16:33.320 That's where we went last night for Valentine's Day.

00:16:35.620 We had the kids with us, so we couldn't find a babysitter, you know.

00:16:39.660 So what are you going to do?

00:16:41.000 You're going to try to go to a nice, fancy, like, candlelit dinner

00:16:45.460 when you've got four kids with you?

00:16:47.080 It's impossible.

00:16:48.760 So we went to Cracker Barrel.

00:16:50.280 My wife had to leave mid-meal also to change our daughter's diaper 1.00

00:16:54.780 because she pooped in her diaper. 1.00

00:16:56.480 And I couldn't do that because, you know,

00:16:59.040 I don't know how to change diapers, so she just had to do it. 0.99

00:17:01.560 And it was great.

00:17:02.060 We played the little triangle game, the little triangle peg game that they have at the table.

00:17:05.900 We walked around the gift shop a little bit afterwards.

00:17:09.080 We lectured my son for not eating his chicken tenders,

00:17:11.980 even though I spent literally $4 on them.

00:17:14.740 So it was a great, great meal.

00:17:16.440 And the thing is, I'm sitting there in Cracker Barrel on Valentine's Day.

00:17:20.600 And on one hand, I find it hilarious, the whole situation.

00:17:25.240 On the other hand, I maybe feel a little slight amount of shame

00:17:29.680 because it is Valentine's Day and I am with my wife at Cracker Barrel.

00:17:33.280 And there's like almost nobody else there.

00:17:35.660 Like, and usually, you know this when you go to Cracker Barrel,

00:17:39.160 any time of day, any day of the year, the place is packed.

00:17:43.640 There's nobody else there.

00:17:45.080 Almost nobody else.

00:17:46.680 And so I'm kind of working through this in my head.

00:17:48.580 And then one of the waitresses comes over and says, 0.99

00:17:51.200 hey, are you Matt Walsh?

00:17:53.180 And then the manager comes and another employee.

00:17:55.700 And it was a whole crowd.

00:17:57.060 And they asked me for an autograph.

00:17:58.940 I think I autographed one of the menus.

00:18:01.060 And my wife loved every single minute of it, by the way.

00:18:03.360 She kept trolling me by suggesting things that she knew I wouldn't want to do.

00:18:08.060 She's like, oh, you want to get the other employees? 1.00

00:18:09.400 We can all take a big group picture with Matt.

00:18:12.960 So that's how it went.

00:18:15.180 And she asked them, she said, she says, oh, does Cracker Barrel have a celebrity wall?

00:18:18.960 We could take his picture and put it up there.

00:18:21.200 It's like, yeah, I'll be up there with the local weatherman, you know,

00:18:23.960 and the guy who runs the car dealership down the street.

00:18:26.960 It was good, though.

00:18:27.700 I'm a man of the people.

00:18:28.500 I don't talk to people, but I'm a man of the people.

00:18:30.440 And it's funny sometimes because, you know, I'll be,

00:18:31.900 I am sometimes accused of being an elitist, like out of touch.

00:18:37.220 Oh, you're an out of touch, elitist media person.

00:18:39.920 Dude, I shop at Walmart and I go to Cracker Barrel with my family on Valentine's Day.

00:18:44.220 That's what I do.

00:18:45.880 I have changed literally not one single part of who I am or what I do.

00:18:52.040 And by the way, I put up a picture yesterday, last night,

00:18:55.240 because I decided that the secret was out anyway.

00:18:57.480 So I might as well, I might as well just run with it.

00:18:59.620 And I took a picture of my wife at Cracker Barrel and I posted it to Twitter,

00:19:03.120 you know, announcing all of this.

00:19:06.380 And, but, and it was up for about 20 minutes.

00:19:07.840 I had to take it down because my wife looked at the picture, 0.99

00:19:10.500 not because she was ashamed we were at Cracker Barrel,

00:19:12.340 but because she didn't like the way she looked in the picture.

00:19:14.380 And so I had to take it down.

00:19:15.920 And like my wife, when it comes to pictures, she'll, she inspects them very, very closely.

00:19:21.140 If she sees one, oh, my eyelash is a little bit crooked there.

00:19:24.040 I got to take it down.

00:19:25.320 So any unsanctioned picture of her that makes its way anywhere publicly, that's a problem.

00:19:30.880 So, and that's how Valentine's Day ended for us.

00:19:33.560 It was great.

00:19:33.980 Very romantic night.

00:19:35.060 All right.

00:19:35.380 Um, so speaking of Valentine's Day, you know, there, there are many people who think that 0.97

00:19:40.040 our federal law enforcement agencies are corrupt, out of control, full of lunatics.

00:19:46.680 And this isn't going to do anything to negate those concerns.

00:19:49.440 So let's put up what the, what the ATF decided to tweet on Valentine's Day.

00:19:55.120 So this is ATF headquarters, their official account on Twitter.

00:19:59.120 And they say, Valentine's Day can still be fun.

00:20:01.940 Even if you broke up, do you have information about a former

00:20:05.160 or current partner involved in illegal gun activity?

00:20:08.340 Let us know and we'll make sure it's a Valentine's Day to remember.

00:20:12.700 And then they have a little faux Valentine's Day card there.

00:20:15.680 It says, got an ex who buys or sells guns illegally.

00:20:18.460 We would love to meet and treat them to a Valentine's Day surprise.

00:20:23.200 Okay.

00:20:23.400 I'll remind you again, this is not some kooky kind of

00:20:27.000 anti-gun organization that put this out there or anything like that.

00:20:30.680 This is the ATF that tweeted this from their official account.

00:20:36.640 And they're encouraging you to make out of, out of jealousy or revenge,

00:20:42.040 to make reports of criminal activity on, on people that, you know,

00:20:45.740 so that they can get basically encouraging swatting.

00:20:50.200 This is, um, this is a not so veiled attempt to encourage false reports also.

00:20:56.620 Because how are people going to take that?

00:20:58.500 If anyone sees that and they're as psychotic as the ATF apparently hopes that they are.

00:21:04.400 And they're going to think, oh, okay, well, I, you know, I've got a, I've got a husband

00:21:08.940 who cheated on me and he left me and I hate him for that.

00:21:11.720 Maybe, maybe I'll go ahead and call that tip line that they provided.

00:21:14.280 He might have illegal guns or not.

00:21:18.600 And if he gets killed in the ensuing raid, then, hey, it's all, it's all,

00:21:22.720 all a benefit in the end.

00:21:26.320 This is what our government agencies are now encouraging.

00:21:30.880 To call and report someone for revenge.

00:21:35.940 Really, whether the report is true or not.

00:21:38.880 Amazing.

00:21:39.880 Well, I wish I could say that I'm amazed by it, but I'm not quite.

00:21:42.400 So, um, here's another thing that's not amazing, but it is great in its own way.

00:21:45.980 After the Super Bowl win in Los Angeles, people, of course, started rioting.

00:21:50.100 And, uh, let's play, let's play first the news report on this.

00:21:52.980 Um, take a look at 6B.

00:21:55.280 Take a look at this.

00:21:56.480 This is downtown LA where Super Bowl victory celebrations have gotten out of hand.

00:22:01.500 And Keiko 9th Desmond Shaw is live overhead in Sky 9.

00:22:04.520 And I believe that's a Metro bus, Desmond.

00:22:07.300 And people are climbing on top of it.

00:22:08.680 What's going on there?

00:22:09.340 Yeah, this just happened seconds ago here, Chris and Leslie.

00:22:13.620 Quite raucous here on, uh, Grand between 11th and 12th.

00:22:17.580 Now, LAPD was trying to disperse the crowd to the south.

00:22:20.540 And then everyone just kind of headed north, uh, into this really thick traffic.

00:22:24.260 And there's not very much of an LAPD presence.

00:22:26.420 So now they're climbing on top of this bus.

00:22:28.380 They're lighting off of fireworks.

00:22:29.660 We saw some vehicles here that were doing some really intense burnouts

00:22:33.220 with huge clouds of smoke coming up in the area.

00:22:36.140 And so, yeah, this is a new development now.

00:22:38.740 Somebody up on top of this.

00:22:40.240 Looks like someone's spray-painted rain.

00:22:41.500 So then you can also see them.

00:22:42.740 I'm sure they're rocking that other car.

00:22:44.180 They're trying to knock it over.

00:22:44.940 I mean, as far as, as far as riots, this is how bad it is now in Los Angeles,

00:22:48.460 that as far as riots go, you see that.

00:22:50.500 You think, yeah, you know, it's, it's, we've seen a lot.

00:22:52.820 That's, that, I'm not sure it makes it into the top 20.

00:22:54.620 Um, and there is this, I will, I will never understand.

00:22:58.240 Yeah, I don't, I don't understand the inclination to riot at all.

00:23:02.180 Um, but especially because you're happy that something happened that you,

00:23:07.820 you liked your football team one and you're riding because of that.

00:23:10.880 I don't, I don't quite understand the psychology of it.

00:23:13.120 Maybe it's good that I don't understand the psychology of it,

00:23:15.100 but there was no question that that's a riot.

00:23:17.300 You're in the street.

00:23:17.980 You're trying to tip cars over.

00:23:19.440 You're climbing on cars.

00:23:20.360 That's a riot.

00:23:20.960 That's what that is.

00:23:21.680 Um, but we know that with the media, they are very, very selective about what things

00:23:28.920 they will call a riot.

00:23:30.760 And they've only met in the last, I don't know, this century, they've only encountered

00:23:36.180 one riot that they would call a riot, which was January 6th, except that that they can't

00:23:41.620 help themselves.

00:23:42.100 And that goes beyond riot.

00:23:43.240 Now they call it insurrection, terrorist attack, whatever else.

00:23:46.120 Um, but this, you know, because it's not, it's, it's, you can't pin them up.

00:23:51.680 It looks to be a racial mix in the crowd there, but certainly plenty of non-white people.

00:23:58.880 So that means the media can't call it a riot.

00:24:00.560 So what are they going to call it?

00:24:01.380 Here's CBS Los Angeles.

00:24:03.620 They say problem, hold on, problematic celebrators were seen jumping on top of a white pickup truck

00:24:12.120 as police tried to disperse the crowd.

00:24:14.840 LAPD declared an unlawful assembly almost 45 minutes before.

00:24:19.960 Problematic celebrators.

00:24:23.420 So we know about the mostly peaceful protest.

00:24:27.580 Okay.

00:24:27.940 We know about the people that burn a CVS to the ground, run inside a footlocker, run out

00:24:32.640 with, with a arm, you know, an armful of, uh, of stolen shoes.

00:24:37.300 That's all protesters.

00:24:40.180 Well, it was, it was a problem, I guess, for the media.

00:24:42.340 Cause they, well, they can't call these protesters.

00:24:43.880 They're not protesting.

00:24:44.540 They're happy.

00:24:45.000 They're happy.

00:24:45.500 They're celebrating.

00:24:46.420 So what are we going to call them?

00:24:49.120 Problematic celebrators.

00:24:52.200 You almost have to appreciate it for the humor, if nothing else.

00:24:56.280 If you want another good laugh, here's, uh, Larry Hogan on CNN.

00:25:00.480 He was, um, interviewed on CNN and he's the, by the way, the governor of, of, uh, Maryland.

00:25:07.240 Uh, uh, you know, basically, I guess we would call him a moderate, a moderate Republican.

00:25:14.420 And, uh, and we call him moderate Republicans because he spends most of his time attacking

00:25:19.460 people on the right, criticizing the right.

00:25:21.780 And he doesn't like Donald Trump.

00:25:23.080 And that's why he gets to go on CNN and they, and they, uh, interview him.

00:25:26.460 They give him a friendly interview.

00:25:27.640 But here he is talking about his potential presidential run.

00:25:30.780 Listen, that's a nice video.

00:25:32.920 It just lacked the Hogan 2024, uh, banner at the bottom.

00:25:36.140 Are you considering a presidential run?

00:25:38.200 Well, we put out great videos like that almost every week.

00:25:40.520 That was, uh, taken from my state of the state address last week and, and it's pretty well

00:25:45.040 done.

00:25:45.380 But I, like I said, I'm going to be the, I'm going to run through the tape as governor till

00:25:48.600 January of next year.

00:25:50.080 Uh, I'm going to try to be the very best governor I can be.

00:25:52.560 I'm going to continue to stand up and be a voice.

00:25:54.720 I'm not going to sit back and not be involved in the issues of the day.

00:25:57.980 I'm concerned about the direction of the party in the country.

00:26:00.560 And I'll make a decision about 2024 after I finished this job.

00:26:04.160 So you are considering it.

00:26:05.580 Well, so we're certainly going to take a look at it after January of 23.

00:26:08.080 What makes you think that there's, uh, a lane for a moderate ish, uh, blue state anti-Trump

00:26:16.040 sane Republican like you, when you look at your party right now?

00:26:19.960 Well, you know, I consider myself a common sense conservative. 0.55

00:26:22.340 I have been a lifelong, uh, Republican.

00:26:25.180 Uh, I, I believe that that's where most people in America are about 70% of the people

00:26:29.220 in America are completely frustrated with politics on both sides, Republicans and Democrats.

00:26:33.800 And latest CNN poll came out and said, you know, right now, only 50% of the Republicans

00:26:39.460 would like to see Donald Trump run again.

00:26:41.360 I believe that there is a pretty large lane of sane Republicans, uh, and they're looking

00:26:46.260 for a voice.

00:26:48.060 That's good.

00:26:48.780 I mean, it would need to be a large lane, um, for him, but yeah, there, there is certainly

00:26:54.480 a lane for someone who's not Donald Trump to run for president.

00:26:57.580 Like for example, Ron DeSantis, uh, and, and, and other, uh, there, there are other, not

00:27:03.940 many, but there is a group, a very small group of Republicans who I think number one would

00:27:09.320 be, would, uh, be good presidents.

00:27:11.280 And they'd, they'd have a chance maybe of beating Donald Trump in the primary, though

00:27:15.360 maybe not a very good chance.

00:27:17.140 Um, where does Larry Hogan fit into that?

00:27:20.480 Well, he doesn't fit at all.

00:27:21.580 Now you have to appreciate the, of course, very unbiased, objective way that the question

00:27:26.460 was framed.

00:27:27.520 Is there room for a sane Republican like you?

00:27:30.000 And you're, of course you're sane because you don't like Donald Trump.

00:27:32.020 That's the only thing that matters.

00:27:34.000 That's the only litmus test here.

00:27:35.600 As far as Jake Tapper's concerned, um, is there room for him?

00:27:41.320 No, there's not.

00:27:43.260 You know, moderate Republican, you spend most of your time attacking people on the right.

00:27:48.020 Um, you spend most of your time trying to appeal to people on the left.

00:27:52.380 There's no room at all.

00:27:53.720 And this is the problem that you, you, you wish moderate Republicans would, uh, would

00:27:59.400 realize, you know, this is the obstacle that they're going to come up against is that if

00:28:06.180 you're trying to appeal to the left, well, you might be able to appease them a little

00:28:10.820 bit, but there's always going to be someone farther to your left.

00:28:15.420 They don't, they don't need you.

00:28:17.040 I mean, why, why would they vote for you?

00:28:18.540 They could just, they could get the real deal.

00:28:19.900 And if it's a general election, presidential election, and you're trying to appeal to people

00:28:25.560 on the left, well, they could, they could vote for the leftist Republican or the leftist

00:28:30.220 Democrat.

00:28:30.660 Why would they go with the Republican?

00:28:34.220 Or you have people on the right who are sick and tired of people like you.

00:28:37.000 So you're, you're appealing to almost nobody.

00:28:41.980 And it's not because it's not because you're a voice in the wilderness crying out.

00:28:46.740 It's not because you're staying firm on your principles and all of that.

00:28:50.480 It's because you're trying to find this middle lane between the right.

00:28:59.240 And then over here on the left, which advocates for pure, unadulterated evil.

00:29:06.580 And you're trying to find kind of a, trying to find a lane that isn't exactly true, but

00:29:10.720 isn't totally false.

00:29:12.840 And we'll have more about that in the daily cancellation coming up.

00:29:15.160 Uh, another clip I want to play for you.

00:29:17.120 This is representative Pramila Jayapal.

00:29:20.220 She is, uh, I don't think she's quite in the squad, but she's, she's sort of a, you

00:29:25.040 know, she's a rotating, she's a sixth man kind of figure in the squad. 0.87

00:29:27.980 And, uh, they, they, they bring her in sometimes to talk about some of these issues.

00:29:31.980 And here she is saying that unmasked members of Congress are undermining democracy somehow.

00:29:38.620 Listen.

00:29:39.100 This is where the lack of civility has come to in the United States Congress.

00:29:45.500 And I think it is a massive problem.

00:29:47.920 It undermines our ability to get work done.

00:29:50.360 And it is intolerable in a workplace where we are going to work to do the work of the

00:29:55.380 American people.

00:29:56.000 And also, let me just remind your viewers that this was about wearing a mask, which is

00:30:00.420 mandated in the Capitol.

00:30:02.720 It is mandated in the Capitol and it is to protect our safety, our collective safety, the

00:30:08.840 safety of our staffers.

00:30:10.360 And so the idea that, and this has happened to me where you get on an elevator and people

00:30:14.540 refuse to wear a mask and your choices are to either get off the elevator or to get on

00:30:19.280 the elevator and to tell them to wear a mask.

00:30:22.460 That, that should not be a problem in the United States Congress.

00:30:26.820 And, uh, I really believe that our colleagues who refuse to even adhere to the basic norms

00:30:34.480 of civility are undermining our democracy.

00:30:37.140 And of course, we're seeing it in all kinds of even more serious ways.

00:30:40.000 Like the January 6th insurrection is, is just part of that.

00:30:44.160 And part of the attempt to take down a legitimate democracy from functioning.

00:30:51.380 Um, you know, she, she is an attractive woman. 1.00

00:30:54.560 So, you know, I'll, I'll say that for at least, but by not putting a mask on your, it's an attack

00:31:02.220 on our institutions, an attack on democracy where we're destroying democracy by not wearing

00:31:08.080 a mask.

00:31:08.460 And it's just like January 6th.

00:31:10.480 Once again, the random buzzword generator, you got to ram, uh, January 6th into it.

00:31:17.080 How, how does any of this make sense?

00:31:18.880 I mean, in what way does a person, a person not wearing a mask in an elevator is undermining

00:31:24.460 democracy?

00:31:26.320 What?

00:31:28.080 But of course, none of these people are ever asked.

00:31:31.360 It's one of my great frustrations.

00:31:34.280 Now, there's a lot of questions you could ask people like this that they wouldn't be able

00:31:37.560 to answer.

00:31:37.980 I'd love for people to ask, but, and they're not, but pretty much no matter what they're

00:31:42.520 talking about, one of the most basic questions you could ask is just what, what, what is that

00:31:49.260 supposed to mean?

00:31:49.920 Exactly.

00:31:51.080 Explain that.

00:31:52.600 You're making a lot of assertions.

00:31:55.120 So I heard all of your assertions that a person not wearing a mask in an elevator is,

00:31:59.740 is undermining democracy.

00:32:01.620 Explain what you mean by that.

00:32:03.040 Exactly.

00:32:04.540 Can you go into greater detail?

00:32:07.920 And they're never asked to do that because the person conducting the interview knows that

00:32:13.660 they wouldn't be able to explain it.

00:32:16.340 These are just bald assertions.

00:32:19.920 Just like these people are, are cannons projecting assertions, shooting assertions all over the

00:32:26.080 place.

00:32:26.560 And, uh, but you can never stop and pick any one of them up and say, well, what, what was

00:32:30.100 this again?

00:32:30.820 What did you mean by this? 0.86

00:32:32.540 Because they won't be able to explain it because it's total nonsense.

00:32:35.500 Um, all right.

00:32:36.980 This is from a really important story here from the New York post.

00:32:40.020 It says a model has claimed that she doesn't need a boyfriend because she's so in love with

00:32:44.240 herself, uh, Luana Sandian said that she is auto-sexual, which is a self-love relationship

00:32:51.120 that can go beyond the erotic sphere.

00:32:53.000 The divorced model adds that she doesn't need a boyfriend to experience sexual pleasure and, 0.99

00:32:57.200 um, revealed that she will even be happy enjoying Valentine's day alone.

00:33:02.560 Um, she says being auto-sexual as I see it is along the same lines as being an independent

00:33:07.740 person.

00:33:08.980 Luana claimed that she's not thinking about having a relationship with someone else at the

00:33:12.100 moment.

00:33:12.700 She continued, I found myself single.

00:33:14.720 It's the best thing a woman can do for herself.

00:33:17.140 And she explains what auto-sexuality is.

00:33:18.980 She says, it means I'm attracted to myself.

00:33:21.320 I always felt that way.

00:33:22.180 I just didn't know there was a name for it.

00:33:24.680 And then she continues, and this was interesting.

00:33:27.460 It's nice to know I'm not crazy or a massive narcissist.

00:33:30.920 It's something real that a lot of people experience.

00:33:33.440 It was very important to find out that I'm not alone.

00:33:36.140 As sexy as that may sound, and it is, it's kind of self-love on steroids.

00:33:40.000 There was always a part of me that thought it was weird, so it's nice to have this statement

00:33:43.920 that it's normal.

00:33:46.340 And so we see the same process carried out yet again, which of course, by the way, this,

00:33:51.920 it is narcissism.

00:33:53.100 I mean, it's, it's like pretty much the definition of narcissism, um, being literally in love with

00:33:58.740 yourself.

00:33:59.140 I would be interested in seeing the, the headline 10 years from now.

00:34:04.040 Uh, you know, the headline now is model claim.

00:34:06.100 She doesn't need a boyfriend because she's so in love with herself 10 years from now.

00:34:09.500 The, the, the headline is X model says that she's alone and miserable because of rampant 0.99

00:34:14.860 misogyny.

00:34:15.500 You know, that's going to be the headline 10 years from now, because the thing that these

00:34:19.000 women don't understand is that, um, your youth and your beauty, all of that fades pretty quickly.

00:34:26.900 And it's just one of the sad realities of being a mortal human being.

00:34:32.360 Um, and we're being introduced to a lot of the realities of being a mortal human being

00:34:35.980 in the last few years.

00:34:36.780 And people don't seem to like any of them.

00:34:38.080 And that's just, it's, it's true.

00:34:39.240 A lot of it is, is really not, not very fun, but another one of those realities, along with

00:34:43.280 the fact that you're going to die. 0.90

00:34:44.860 Another one is that if you live kind of a normal length of life, most of your life, you're

00:34:52.380 going to, is going to be spent not youthful and physically beautiful, the majority of

00:34:58.720 your life, you'll, you will be in that state.

00:35:02.300 So what you have right now is very temporary and very fleeting.

00:35:09.000 And if that's, if that's all you are, if that's the only thing you care to cultivate,

00:35:13.760 then once that goes, you're going to have nothing.

00:35:18.120 And when you're walking around now and say, well, I don't, it doesn't matter because I'm,

00:35:23.860 I'm young, I'm beautiful.

00:35:26.120 I don't need to try to impress anybody.

00:35:28.140 I don't need companionship with anybody.

00:35:30.400 People are fawning over me.

00:35:33.020 You know, when you act that way, eventually that goes away. 0.99

00:35:36.360 You, you, you lose the youth and beauty, but people remember what a miserable person you 1.00

00:35:42.940 are. 0.99

00:35:43.420 And so you've alienated everyone in your life.

00:35:45.360 You don't have your beauty to fall back on.

00:35:47.120 And now you're going to spend the rest of your life just alone, miserable.

00:35:51.380 And that's what it's going to be.

00:35:53.920 But she also says how, um, how, well, okay, I I'm in love with myself.

00:35:58.640 I'm very obsessed with myself.

00:36:00.200 All I care about is myself.

00:36:02.160 So she's divorced. 0.95

00:36:03.280 Her marriage didn't work out.

00:36:04.320 Big shocker there.

00:36:05.600 And then she says that she, she went, I guess on, on the internet as people do.

00:36:10.140 And she discovered that there's a name for that.

00:36:12.440 There's a label and that other people feel the same way she does.

00:36:17.200 About themselves.

00:36:19.020 And just discovering that, discovering that she's, she's not alone, which is kind of ironic

00:36:23.260 because she says that she wants to be alone.

00:36:25.100 Yet it was, she wants to be alone.

00:36:26.540 She's okay being alone.

00:36:27.680 Yet it was very important to her that she's not alone in feeling this, this way at the

00:36:33.700 same time.

00:36:34.100 So she, she wants to be alone, but she also doesn't want to be alone.

00:36:36.800 So you find that, that tension there.

00:36:39.280 Um, and so it was important for her to find out that there are other people in this quote

00:36:43.660 unquote community and that there's a label for it.

00:36:47.180 And the minute you can label it and you discover that there are other people that carry the

00:36:52.980 same label that, that in your mind, that legitimizes it.

00:36:56.560 And that makes it a legitimate identity and thus an identity that deserves to be celebrated.

00:37:02.720 And probably we should take auto-sexual if they're not already and add them to the, to

00:37:06.860 the alphabet, LGBTQIA.

00:37:08.860 Maybe is auto-sexual one of the A's that's already in there? 0.89

00:37:10.940 I don't know.

00:37:11.200 Now, and we see this is, this is the same process we've seen many times where you take

00:37:17.700 people, they, they, you know, they have a, a, a certain compulsion, a compulsion that

00:37:23.580 they should be resisting and suppressing.

00:37:25.300 In her case, it's a compulsion towards obsessive selfishness. 0.80

00:37:29.500 That's a, it's bad.

00:37:30.900 Okay.

00:37:31.120 People might experience it, but it's bad.

00:37:32.520 You should try to suppress it.

00:37:33.920 Try to be a better person.

00:37:35.660 You should try to develop some virtue.

00:37:37.560 Um, and maybe in a different time, someone like herself, that's what she would have done

00:37:42.840 because she would have assumed that there's something wrong with feeling this way.

00:37:46.400 She would have assumed that she's the only one she was.

00:37:47.840 She's not going to go out in public and talk to people face to face and say, Hey, I'm in

00:37:51.560 love with myself and I'm the only person I care about.

00:37:53.160 She would never say that to someone.

00:37:55.040 So she would feel that shame and she would feel the need to change herself and she would

00:37:58.560 change maybe.

00:38:00.400 But now because of the internet, whatever compulsion you feel, you could just go Google it.

00:38:07.560 Uh, discover that there are other people in that quote community, that there's even a

00:38:12.760 fancy label for it.

00:38:15.260 And now rather than suppressing this and maybe getting over it and becoming a better person,

00:38:20.060 now you've embraced it and it begins to sort of eat you alive.

00:38:24.420 And it's the only thing about you.

00:38:25.760 It's your entire identity.

00:38:28.180 So the same old story.

00:38:29.500 We've the same song we've, uh, we've heard many times before 40 years ago, Ronald Reagan

00:38:34.920 saw massive inflation, unlike anything in the country had ever seen before until today.

00:38:38.660 And Reagan's own words, inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber

00:38:43.180 and as deadly as a hitman.

00:38:44.520 Right now, your retirement accounts are under attack.

00:38:46.640 Thanks to the inflationary policies of this administration.

00:38:49.380 If you've not yet called Birchgold, the only people I trust to help you diversify your 401ks

00:38:54.340 and IRAs into gold, then you're missing the boat.

00:38:57.300 Now's the time to act.

00:38:58.480 Actually, you're, you're treading water without a life vest.

00:39:00.600 That's how bad it is.

00:39:01.320 Birchgold has your life vest and they're going to make it very easy for you.

00:39:04.200 Let them help you convert an IRA or 401k into a tax sheltered IRA in gold with thousands

00:39:09.820 of satisfied customers and an A plus rating with the better business bureau.

00:39:13.400 You can trust Birchgold to protect your savings.

00:39:15.680 All you got to do is text Walsh to 98 98 98 to get a free info kit on gold.

00:39:21.640 Reagan knew better than anyone with the biggest threat to our wealth and what it was is inflation

00:39:25.980 and you could protect your wealth.

00:39:27.680 Now, all you got to do is text Walsh to 98 98 98 to get your free info kit.

00:39:32.460 Now, let's get now to the comment section.

00:39:36.080 Do you know their name?

00:39:39.420 They're the sweet baby gang.

00:39:43.800 Dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments.

00:39:46.020 If you want to leave a video comment, let's start with a clip eight.

00:39:50.800 Hey, Matt.

00:39:51.580 I just wanted to respond to your criticism of that Super Bowl commercial for the Google

00:39:55.300 Pixel 6.

00:39:56.140 You know, I understand that with your white privilege, you just can't understand and grasp

00:40:01.760 the difficulty that people of color go through when trying to take a simple photo or video. 1.00

00:40:07.180 You know, you just don't have their shared experience.

00:40:09.700 And I would really expect more from the world's leading LGBTQ plus author.

00:40:15.700 Peace.

00:40:15.920 That was a it was an angel on earth that left that comment and he was he was subsumed back

00:40:23.020 up into heaven as he was speaking.

00:40:25.480 That's a shame because that was that was a brilliant.

00:40:28.760 But if you're if you're just listening on audio, you can't appreciate what just happened

00:40:31.900 there.

00:40:32.080 And I think I think if I explain the joke, it'll ruin it.

00:40:34.660 So we're just going to move on.

00:40:35.740 You'll have to go to YouTube or something and see the video there.

00:40:38.620 Well done, though.

00:40:39.400 All right.

00:40:39.660 We got we got one more here.

00:40:40.560 Let's let's watch this.

00:40:41.400 Oh, just a photo.

00:40:45.840 OK, this is from Alex's.

00:40:48.500 My dad's a huge fan and he drew this just for you.

00:40:50.800 And then there's a picture of me and I actually look decent in the picture.

00:40:53.740 I appreciate that.

00:40:54.740 So that's that's that's what I know about myself is I always look I like when people draw

00:40:57.800 pictures of me, which might sound might sound narcissistic.

00:41:00.180 But that's because that's the only time where I look passable, where I don't look hideous.

00:41:06.040 It's always in the photographs, which, as we've discovered, it's because it's not it's

00:41:09.900 it's not me.

00:41:10.840 It's the camera is the problem.

00:41:13.440 All right.

00:41:13.680 This is from Emily.

00:41:14.580 She says, at this point, you can only be mad at the people.

00:41:17.880 Come on.

00:41:18.320 The elite have been nothing but open about their stance.

00:41:21.040 Do what I say, not what I do.

00:41:23.600 The issue is the people.

00:41:26.000 Yeah, Emily, this is never going to be a popular stance to take, but I largely agree with you.

00:41:32.980 This is why I could also never really call myself a populist, because I'm way too skeptical

00:41:37.580 of the populace.

00:41:38.840 I'm skeptical of the elites, too.

00:41:42.240 Certainly.

00:41:43.640 But much of what is happening, it's because we have allowed it to happen.

00:41:50.000 And that's a broad statement because it applies to almost every area of the culture.

00:41:56.400 You know, whatever is happening as a conservative, whatever is happening in the culture in whatever

00:41:59.760 area, whether we're talking about education, we're talking about our civil liberties being

00:42:02.820 taken away, whatever it is, it has required the silence.

00:42:07.980 In order for it to happen and for it to exist, it's required the silence of many people.

00:42:14.700 In fact, we used to brag all the time about the silent majority.

00:42:18.080 Because we're very proud of the majority part, but no one ever stopped to say, what about the

00:42:24.240 silence?

00:42:24.520 What's up with the silence, though?

00:42:26.420 That's actually shameful to be in the majority and yet remain silent.

00:42:31.040 And we remain silent for so long that now, you know, I don't even think we're in the majority

00:42:35.220 anymore.

00:42:39.560 Person, good username there, says, apparently Eminem was kneeling out of respect for Tupac,

00:42:44.580 but this hasn't been confirmed, so no one truly knows what he knelt for.

00:42:48.180 And another comment says, Eminem didn't take a knee during the anthem.

00:42:50.540 He took a knee when the other dude played a Tupac song.

00:42:53.760 He took a knee out of respect for Tupac.

00:42:59.040 Yeah, this is the argument that I've heard.

00:43:02.320 This is the rationalization.

00:43:03.420 And there were a lot of comments like this that, oh, no, he was just, he was taking a

00:43:06.860 knee for Tupac.

00:43:09.720 What?

00:43:10.440 First of all, why would he be doing that in the first place?

00:43:13.200 But no, this was 100%.

00:43:15.060 It was a statement for Colin Kaepernick.

00:43:18.040 In fact, the story is that Eminem said ahead of time or told the NFL that he wanted to do

00:43:22.040 this.

00:43:22.580 And then the NFL kind of shook their fingers, finger at him and said, no, no, no, don't do

00:43:27.160 that.

00:43:27.420 Tsk, tsk.

00:43:27.900 We don't, we don't want you to do that.

00:43:30.100 Wink, wink.

00:43:31.080 And then he went ahead and did it anyway.

00:43:33.420 Right.

00:43:34.280 So that, so that, you know, it's the best of both worlds for the NFL.

00:43:37.620 So they could get the political statement that they, that they like, and then it appeals

00:43:40.960 to those people, um, to that, to that side of the political aisle.

00:43:45.200 But then also the NFL can say, oh, but we didn't want him to do that.

00:43:48.540 And then that's supposed to satiate the people on the right. 0.76

00:43:50.420 So that was the plan there, but it's 100% a fact that he was doing this for Colin Kaepernick.

00:43:55.700 But it, but it also shows just how absurd the whole knee thing is because it, it, it, it's

00:44:01.340 such a vague statement.

00:44:02.600 And it, it, the meaning behind it continues to morph.

00:44:07.960 So originally it was supposed to be about police brutality.

00:44:11.620 And then it became this kind of generalized protest against America as a whole.

00:44:16.140 And then it became different things.

00:44:18.100 And then Eminem does it and it's to honor Colin Kaepernick.

00:44:21.180 But now we're told that, oh no, he's also honoring Tupac too.

00:44:24.040 So just throw it all in there.

00:44:26.080 Just like, it's a kind of a, it's the grab bag of political statements, I guess.

00:45:33.860 When it comes to understanding how our world is run, there's always more to uncover.

00:45:37.300 Introducing one of the Daily Wire's newest projects, The Enemy Within.

00:45:39.880 Our new series featuring acclaimed journalist Lee Smith, author of The Plot Against the

00:45:44.700 President.

00:45:45.840 In his newest project, Smith uncovers a political coup orchestrated by America's ruling elites

00:45:49.760 to generate their own wealth and power at the expense of the American people's safety

00:45:53.260 and freedom.

00:45:53.960 From Fauci to our educational system to Hollywood and everything in between, each episode will

00:45:57.600 take you deep behind the scenes to expose what those who are supposed to be protecting

00:46:01.460 you don't want you to know.

00:46:03.260 The Enemy Within will start streaming this Friday exclusively at The Daily Wire.

00:46:07.280 Now let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:46:12.980 Today we cancel someone who up to this point has somehow never made it into the Daily Cancellation,

00:46:18.420 I don't think.

00:46:18.840 That would be David French, ostensibly a conservative columnist, once of the National Review and now

00:46:24.300 of the Never Trump publication, The Dispatch.

00:46:26.400 Now I hesitate to describe anything as Never Trump because it's ridiculous to still define

00:46:30.360 people that way with Trump no longer even in office.

00:46:33.040 In fact, Never Trump stopped having logical relevance after he won the primaries in 2016.

00:46:38.940 Six years later though, the label still somehow applies because people like French still choose 1.00

00:46:43.460 to define themselves by their opposition to the former president.

00:46:46.840 But it goes beyond Trump.

00:46:48.300 For French and people on his team, opposition to Trump has long since turned into opposition

00:46:52.580 to an obsessive focus on whatever they consider to be the far right.

00:46:58.740 Though French and company continue to call themselves conservatives, members of the right, they

00:47:04.220 dedicate most of their time and nearly everything that they write to attacking those who are

00:47:07.880 further on the right than themselves.

00:47:10.460 Now there's nothing wrong with holding your own side accountable.

00:47:13.220 I criticize Republicans all the time.

00:47:14.840 I'm doing it right now.

00:47:16.080 But the problem is that there is this certain element which seems to have almost entirely given

00:47:21.580 up on opposing the left.

00:47:23.320 For them, the great villains in our country, public enemies number one, are the people on

00:47:28.400 their own side.

00:47:29.800 Which makes you wonder if they're really on our side at all.

00:47:33.120 In David French's case, he has made it a special mission of late to criticize right-wing

00:47:37.100 evangelicals.

00:47:38.580 And his new tradition, it seems, is to publish a weekly screed calling evangelicals to task on

00:47:43.680 Sunday.

00:47:44.180 He always publishes it on Sunday.

00:47:45.500 So while they're all at church, French hits them with another uppercut.

00:47:49.500 The latest from this past Sunday, published on Dispatch, makes the case that right-wing

00:47:54.740 evangelicals are the most dangerous radicals in the country. 0.98

00:48:00.040 In fact, French said exactly this.

00:48:01.540 He shared his column to Twitter with this caption.

00:48:04.940 Where are America's most dangerous political radicals?

00:48:08.100 Rallying in churches by the thousands, in city after city, in church after church.

00:48:12.520 The seeds for the next insurrection are being sown by the MAGA Christian nationalists right 0.91

00:48:17.680 before our eyes.

00:48:18.540 Now, the article proceeds, over the course of some 2,000 words, to expose what French

00:48:23.860 calls MAGA Christian nationalism.

00:48:26.900 This is what he, a post-conservative, considers to be the most dangerous political movement

00:48:31.280 in the country.

00:48:32.840 He talks about the groups of evangelicals who remain steadfastly loyal to Donald Trump.

00:48:37.620 They believe the election was stolen.

00:48:39.200 They think that Trump is, in some cases, you know, is the only one who can rescue the nation.

00:48:43.560 He describes something called the Reawaken America Tour, which stops at venues across

00:48:48.880 the country, often churches, and features Michael Flynn and presumably other speakers

00:48:52.360 doing sort of a mix of apocalyptic preaching and political activism.

00:48:56.800 And there are people in this group who attend those events that French describes who believe

00:49:01.680 that Trump is still the president and are prone to buy into various theories about how

00:49:05.460 Trump will eventually reemerge as the true leader and president of the country.

00:49:09.060 Those claims were a lot more popular in the first eight months of the Biden administration,

00:49:13.100 propagated by people like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood.

00:49:15.840 They seem to have died away a little bit.

00:49:18.060 But still, this is the kind of thing we're talking about in which French has set his sights 0.95

00:49:21.480 on and considers to be one of the great crises we face as a society and the most dangerous

00:49:26.600 threat.

00:49:28.020 Now, I agree with David French that a lot of this stuff is pretty weird.

00:49:31.940 I also don't think that Donald Trump is our savior or ever was.

00:49:37.100 I don't think that any man is our savior, especially not Donald Trump.

00:49:42.800 I don't think he's the answer in 2024.

00:49:46.140 I think it's time to move on from him and start looking at guys like DeSantis, though even

00:49:49.380 with DeSantis, I hope that he never develops the kind of cult, the personality that Trump

00:49:53.000 had and in some cases still has around himself.

00:49:55.660 I think we should retain a healthy skepticism towards all politicians.

00:50:00.660 But the idea that any of this represents some great existential threat to the United States

00:50:06.220 is laughable.

00:50:07.840 And the claim that devoted Trump fans are the most dangerous political radicals in the 0.87

00:50:12.100 country is not only wrong, but reprehensible. 1.00

00:50:15.120 It's the kind of thing that only a very stupid person could possibly believe. 1.00

00:50:19.340 And David French is not stupid. 1.00

00:50:21.120 If he's not stupid, that means that he is, as a Christian himself, choosing to make fellow 1.00

00:50:26.340 Christians into the targets, into sort of human shields to cover for the people who 1.00

00:50:32.400 are truly the most dangerous.

00:50:35.020 And who are those people?

00:50:36.820 Well, the worst thing that MAGA Christian nationalists, as French calls them, ever did

00:50:41.340 was January 6th.

00:50:42.960 And that was not an insurrection or the worst day in American history or anything close to

00:50:46.780 either of those. 1.00

00:50:47.760 But it was bad and it was stupid. 1.00

00:50:49.640 It was a riot. 1.00

00:50:50.160 And there really is no context where a riot is ever a smart strategy or the right thing

00:50:54.720 to do, especially not a riot at the Capitol.

00:50:57.800 But let's flip it over now to the other side and ask the same sort of question.

00:51:01.840 What's the worst thing that leftist radicals have ever done?

00:51:06.700 Well, they have, for one thing, facilitated and funded the slaughter of 60 million human 0.90

00:51:11.460 children since Roe v. Wade. 1.00

00:51:13.920 I would think that that already puts them in a league far beyond the idiots who took an unsanctioned 1.00

00:51:18.980 tour of the Capitol building. 1.00

00:51:20.940 Does David French not believe that the 60 million babies who were killed, who've been

00:51:26.220 killed, are legitimate human beings?

00:51:28.780 He says he's pro-life.

00:51:30.120 If he is, then he must believe that they're human beings.

00:51:33.440 And if he does, then he cannot possibly think that MAGA people are more dangerous than those

00:51:39.040 who are carrying out the mass slaughter of infants.

00:51:41.680 And it doesn't end there.

00:51:44.440 What else have leftist radicals done?

00:51:47.260 They've waged an all-out assault on law and order.

00:51:49.180 They've intentionally plunged our cities into anarchy and violence.

00:51:51.800 They've fomented not just one instance of rioting, but an entire summer of it.

00:51:55.460 And they've excused and encouraged the endemic looting that now happens in many of these

00:51:59.420 same cities.

00:52:00.320 They've torn down statues and monuments.

00:52:02.300 They've tried to rewrite history.

00:52:04.000 They've lied repeatedly about the issue of police brutality, intentionally putting cops in

00:52:07.680 harm's way, getting many of them killed.

00:52:09.580 They've embedded radical gender ideology into our school system. 1.00

00:52:14.340 They've indoctrinated millions of kids into it.

00:52:17.200 They've sent millions of kids plummeting into confusion and internal chaos.

00:52:22.000 So they're agents of chaos, both externally and internally.

00:52:25.820 They chemically castrate little boys. 0.99

00:52:28.340 They chop the breasts off of 15-year-old girls. 1.00

00:52:31.620 They mutilate and destroy and kill. 1.00

00:52:33.920 They prey on the most vulnerable.

00:52:36.340 We haven't even talked about how they've used COVID to erase our civil liberties or

00:52:39.320 how they use blackmail and intimidation and the mob to silence and shame anyone who criticizes

00:52:44.320 their agenda.

00:52:45.900 They also use outright lies and slander.

00:52:48.120 For example, as it happens, right now as we speak, leftists are photoshopping fake tweets

00:52:53.660 and posting them to Twitter, claiming that I wrote them.

00:52:56.540 This has happened more than once, and not just small accounts spreading these tweets either.

00:53:00.820 It's a coordinated effort to smear and silence me.

00:53:03.420 This is what they do.

00:53:04.760 This is who we're dealing with.

00:53:05.720 The most dangerous?

00:53:08.220 I mean, there's no context.

00:53:09.720 Or contest, I should say.

00:53:11.900 There are some weirdos on the right.

00:53:14.200 There are also gullible people who unfortunately get suckered by con artists like Lin Wood and

00:53:18.560 his ilk.

00:53:19.560 But gullible people and weird people exist everywhere.

00:53:22.440 That's not why our civilization is imploding.

00:53:27.440 It's imploding due to the conscious efforts of radical leftists who are not congregating

00:53:34.180 in suburban churches, but who hold positions of power and who control every major institution

00:53:40.760 in the country.

00:53:41.480 Because, you know, that's the other thing about these people that go to reawaken America with

00:53:47.860 Michael Flynn or whatever.

00:53:48.920 The other thing about them is that you can say whatever you want about what they believe

00:53:52.540 and what they're saying.

00:53:53.600 These people are not in positions of power.

00:53:56.040 Okay?

00:53:56.500 They're not running the government.

00:53:58.700 They're not running Facebook.

00:54:00.960 They're not running big tech.

00:54:02.300 They don't run Hollywood.

00:54:03.000 They don't run anything institutionally.

00:54:07.840 Now, the people that run these institutions, they're the danger.

00:54:10.600 They're the threat.

00:54:12.060 And if you aren't focused primarily on fighting that war against those people, then we're not

00:54:17.660 on the same side.

00:54:19.280 And that's why today David French is finally canceled.

00:54:23.140 And we'll leave it there for today.
