The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 897 - Crazed Leftists Rush To Defend Child Butchery And Abuse

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Wells Show, the governor of Texas has provoked extreme outrage from the left

00:00:03.980 by declaring that all so-called gender-affirming medical care of minors in the state now qualifies

00:00:08.980 and will be prosecuted as child abuse. He's facing backlash and mutiny over this,

00:00:13.360 but he's obviously completely correct. We'll talk about why. Also, the latest on the crisis

00:00:16.880 in Ukraine and the incompetent response from the Biden administration. Speaking of which,

00:00:20.540 John Kerry has come out to explain that global war is bad, mainly because of all the carbon

00:00:25.360 emissions. Plus, Biden announces his Supreme Court pick. Lots of news today in our daily

00:00:29.260 cancellation. The celebs are chiming in on the Ukraine situation, and their contributions to

00:00:33.820 the conversation have so far been far worse than you can imagine. I'll play something for you today

00:00:37.260 that is so cringy and embarrassing that it probably needs some kind of Surgeon General warning attached

00:00:41.600 to it. All of that and more today on The Matt Wells Show. You know, 40 years ago, Ronald Reagan saw

00:00:54.980 massive inflation unlike anything the country had ever seen before until today. And Reagan's own

00:00:59.100 words, inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly

00:01:03.020 as a hitman. Right now, your retirement accounts are under attack thanks to the inflationary policies

00:01:07.520 of this administration. If you've not yet called Birch Gold the only people I trust to help you

00:01:11.880 diversify your 401ks and IRAs into gold, then you're missing the boat. Actually, you're treading

00:01:16.000 water without a life vest. Birch Gold has your life vest. Let them help you convert an IRA or 401k

00:01:22.100 into a tax-sheltered IRA in gold. With thousands of satisfied customers and an A-plus rating with the

00:01:27.140 Better Business Bureau, you can trust Birch Gold to protect your savings. And all you got to do is

00:01:38.300 And you can protect your wealth and protect yourself now. And you can do it with Birch Gold. It's very

00:01:42.780 easy. All you have to do to make that happen is text Walsh to 989898. Again, it's Walsh to 989898

00:01:49.180 to get your free info kit now. We will have the latest on the Ukraine situation at the top of

00:01:54.420 the five headlines. But while important events unfold overseas, there are things happening closer

00:01:59.340 to home which still deserve our attention. One of the consequences of living in a society effectively

00:02:04.140 run by social media and cable news is that it can be hard to properly prioritize things or to know

00:02:09.920 where we should focus our attention at any given time, because lots of things tend to get lost in

00:02:13.840 the shuffle. Even things that are happening right in front of you can get lost. Binoculars are good

00:02:19.420 because they help you see things that are happening far away. It can often be useful to know what's

00:02:23.840 over the horizon. But if you walk around with binoculars on every day, all day, it's going to

00:02:29.000 wreak havoc on your depth perception. And soon you'll be not able to distinguish far from near. And lots of

00:02:34.460 things closest to you will escape your sight completely. And I think thanks to modern media, we're all

00:02:39.620 basically walking around with binoculars on all the time. Except in this case, the binoculars

00:02:44.340 themselves are unreliable. You can never be sure if the images you're seeing are distorted or not.

00:02:49.540 Maybe a funhouse mirror would be a better analogy. But in any case, all of that to say, I want to begin

00:02:54.660 with a significant series of events unfolding here in the United States, though you may or may not have

00:02:59.200 heard about it. In Texas this week, Governor Abbott announced that so-called gender-affirming care for

00:03:05.080 minors would be treated and prosecuted as child abuse in the state. Here's a national review with a report on

00:03:10.880 this. It says, quote, Governor Greg Abbott on Tuesday ordered the Texas Department of Family and Protective

00:03:14.980 Services to investigate doctors and parents who enable a child's gender transition surgery. Abbott's direction

00:03:20.940 comes after DFPS confirmed in August that gender transition surgery on children constitutes child abuse when

00:03:26.580 Abbott asked the department to issue a determination on the matter. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton also said

00:03:31.620 earlier this week that gender transition procedures, including hormone therapy, puberty blockers, and

00:03:35.500 sex reassignment procedures are abuse under existing law. Abbott wrote in a letter to DFPS on Tuesday

00:03:40.860 directing DFPS to, quote, conduct a prompt and thorough investigation of any reported instances of these

00:03:46.480 abusive procedures in the state of Texas. The governor writes that the Attorney General's opinion makes

00:03:51.040 clear it is already against the law to subject Texas children to a wide variety of elective procedures

00:03:55.420 for gender transition, including reassignment surgery that can cause sterilization, mastectomies,

00:04:00.140 removal of otherwise healthy body parts, and administration of puberty-blocking drugs,

00:04:05.420 or supra-physiologic doses of testosterone or estrogen. The letter was also sent to other Texas

00:04:10.580 agencies, including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Texas Medical Board,

00:04:15.240 and the Texas Education Agency. So this was at Texas actually, I believe, last year. They tried to

00:04:21.640 pass a law banning these procedures, and it didn't make it through. And so now Greg Abbott is saying,

00:04:29.280 you know what, it's already banned because child abuse is banned in this state, and this is child

00:04:34.680 abuse. Now, we'll talk about why this move was entirely justified and necessary in a moment. But

00:04:42.240 first, I think we have to tell the rest of the story. Because as you would expect, the backlash

00:04:47.220 against this move by the Texas governor has been severe. Five leftist DAs in Texas have already

00:04:53.440 announced that they're not going to follow the order. They're going to defy the governor's order

00:04:56.800 and refuse to prosecute this kind of child abuse because they're big fans of child abuse.

00:05:01.160 And I'm paraphrasing what they said, but this is basically what they said, that they're big fans

00:05:04.760 of child abuse, and they want to see more of it, and they're not going to prosecute it.

00:05:08.400 I mean, they want to see more kids with, you know, their body parts chopped off. That's the,

00:05:12.740 they're into it. They like it. And so this sort of mutiny is happening in Texas. And this comes after

00:05:19.140 several days of hysterical outrage from the left in the trans lobby. Celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis

00:05:25.300 and Busy Phillips, both of whom have trans or non-binary quote unquote children, have spoken

00:05:30.320 out. So is the actress formerly known as Ellen Page. Gabrielle Union, also the parent of a quote

00:05:36.280 trans kid, called the policy dangerous and horrific. Josh Gad, who's the guy who voices the snowman in

00:05:42.800 Frozen, said it's pure evil. The media has published articles, you know, with dramatic headlines

00:05:48.200 claiming that Texas is quote denying health care to trans youth. And sometimes the headlines are even

00:05:53.640 less subtle, like this one in The Nation that says, Texas is terrorizing trans youth. And of course,

00:05:59.420 as expected, there have been the emotional interviews with some of the parents who are

00:06:03.060 now rightly categorized as abusers by Abbott's new policy. Here's just one example.

00:06:09.140 They are parents of a child who is transgender. And you may remember in 2016, when they invited

00:06:14.420 Attorney General Ken Paxton over for dinner to discuss trans rights. Well, fast forward six years.

00:06:20.440 For him to call us the child abusers is such a betrayal. Earlier this week, Governor Greg Abbott

00:06:29.440 and the Attorney General wrote to state departments calling gender affirming procedures as quote

00:06:34.300 child abuse, asking them to investigate. So it's not really a question of whether it's health care,

00:06:39.360 right? It's a question of what authority parents have. And that parental authority is federally

00:06:44.480 protected. Joanna Grossman is a law professor at SMU. She teaches family and gender law, 0.81

00:06:49.740 says the only teeth in these directives is fear.

00:06:54.160 For him to sit at our table and call us child abusers. How about invite me over for dinner?

00:07:00.720 I'll come have dinner with you. And I'll look you in your face in your own house and call you

00:07:04.720 child abusers because that's what you are. You should be in prison. You don't deserve to have 1.00

00:07:09.340 your kids. You're hurting them. You're bad people. You don't love your kids. Because when you love

00:07:17.620 your kids, you don't do this to them, you don't poison them and mutilate them.

00:07:21.740 Now, you notice that now suddenly the left cares about parental rights. They believe that parents

00:07:26.440 have essentially two rights. First, to kill their children in the womb and then to have them 1.00

00:07:31.140 castrated or mutilated outside of the womb. That's like pretty much the entire list. That exhausts the 1.00

00:07:35.840 list of parental rights as far as they see it. Beto O'Rourke, seeking to complete the trifecta by

00:07:42.000 losing a Senate race, a presidential primary race, and now a governor's race, put out a video

00:07:45.980 as he's running for governor now, shortly after the announcement, making the familiar and totally

00:07:51.500 false connection between so-called gender-affirming care and a reduction in suicide among so-called

00:07:57.180 trans youth. Let's watch that.

00:08:00.120 I've been on bio youth in the education system of Texas. I was wondering what you were going to do

00:08:04.620 to protect my rights and my parents' rights to be able to put me on testosterone.

00:08:08.480 The trans suicide rate has been the highest it's ever been in Texas,

00:08:10.920 since those bills have been placed.

00:08:12.480 I mean, we're seeing people trying to take their lives right now, and it's a tough thing for us to

00:08:16.320 talk about, but you're right. We should say it out loud. So we speak about everyone in this state

00:08:21.040 with pride. We talk about a Texas that is big enough for all of us. We target no one based on

00:08:27.160 any difference between us, whether it is the color of your skin, your country of national origin,

00:08:32.900 or the fact that you are non-binary. I think you're amazing. I'm proud of you. I want you to do great

00:08:38.460 things in this state, and I'm going to support you in doing that. And I'm going to say that publicly

00:08:43.200 as the governor of this state. That's going to be a big change for Texas.

00:08:46.440 It just feels like he would be defending me and caring about my rights as a trans non-binary

00:08:50.720 person. It feels like he'd care, and he'd actually listen to our voices and our thoughts about

00:08:55.200 everything.

00:08:55.720 So inspiring, Beto. Now let's introduce some reality. First of all, there is no evidence at

00:09:04.460 all that sex change procedures in children, whether drugs or surgery, will prevent them

00:09:08.900 from committing suicide later in life. That's a lie. Just a lie. That's all it is. One of many

00:09:14.960 things that these people tell. They use suicide as emotional blackmail. That's how evil they are.

00:09:21.540 Coercing people and parents into tolerating the mutilation of children based on a false choice

00:09:26.620 that either children will be mutilated or they'll kill themselves. I mean, that's the choice that's

00:09:31.600 presented. Well, we can drug and poison and mutilate them, or they can kill themselves. Your choice. 1.00

00:09:37.780 No, that's not the choice. It's not grounded in reality. In fact, available studies show that the

00:09:45.540 suicide rate among trans people remains enormously high whether they have surgery or not.

00:09:52.800 There are no reliable studies that show that trans people have sky-high suicide rates, and then you

00:09:58.500 get them surgery, and you put them in a really affirming environment, and then the suicide rate

00:10:03.640 goes down to the national average. No such studies exist because it's not true. Why? Because being at

00:10:12.980 war with your identity, unable to accept yourself for who you truly are, breeds despair, and no drug or

00:10:20.480 surgery can solve it. The only way to solve it is to help the gender-confused individual to see reality 1.00

00:10:27.000 and embrace it for what it is, and embrace themselves for who they are. You know, and by the way, if we

00:10:36.400 need this in order to prevent suicide, was there a whole, 20 years ago, was there a whole rash of kids

00:10:43.620 killing themselves? Because at that point, none of them were allowed to get so-called gender-affirming

00:10:49.420 care? I mean, you go back 20 years ago, and this basically didn't exist. I mean, there were pretty much

00:10:55.040 no kids being subjected to this, or very, very few. Was there an epidemic of suicide for all those

00:11:02.580 years of kids who were not able to be mutilated and drugged, and so they killed themselves? Was that

00:11:07.840 happening? No, it wasn't. Because this, again, is a lie. Also, keep this in mind. Whenever you hear

00:11:16.580 these breezy statements about the supposed long-term benefits of this kind of, quote, medical treatment

00:11:21.780 and children, remember that never before in history have millions of children been subjected

00:11:25.580 to this treatment. Nobody can know the long-term effects for sure, because this hasn't been done

00:11:30.460 before. The current crop of children are lab rats. It's an enormous social and medical experiment being 0.83

00:11:36.480 conducted on an entire generation of children. So check back in 20 years to see how it turned out.

00:11:42.840 Though we can already make some common-sense predictions, and none of them are good.

00:11:46.160 Here's the point. Well, there's really two points. One, it is a simple fact that what they're calling

00:11:53.680 medical treatment can more accurately be described as poisoning, castration, and mutilation, in a very

00:11:58.960 literal and straightforward sense. When you give unnecessary hormone pills to physically healthy

00:12:02.820 minors, you're poisoning them. When you give a drug like Lupron to a pubescent boy to block puberty,

00:12:08.380 you are chemically castrating him, which is why the very same drug has been used to chemically

00:12:12.240 castrate sex offenders. And when you perform a medically unnecessary double mastectomy on a

00:12:17.040 physically healthy 14-year-old girl, as is currently happening all across the country, to 14-year-olds,

00:12:23.460 you are mutilating her. Does it count as abuse when you drug, poison, castrate, and butcher children?

00:12:31.180 Well, I'm unaware of any workable definition of abuse that would exempt those things. Secondly,

00:12:37.100 none of the children consenting to this treatment are consenting. They can't. All of our laws,

00:12:44.420 especially the laws prohibiting things like child molestation, are grounded in the idea that minors

00:12:49.480 cannot fully consent, even if they say yes to something verbally that does not qualify as full

00:12:53.900 consent, because they lack the maturity and the psychological development and the perspective

00:12:59.080 necessary to make informed, rational, and healthy decisions for themselves. This is also why when a 14-year-old

00:13:06.500 commits a crime, in most cases they aren't charged as adults. Why? Well, because we say they did this

00:13:15.780 thing, it was bad, but they couldn't have fully chosen to do it because they didn't fully understand

00:13:21.580 what they were doing. And yet the same people who want us to believe that 12-year-olds can consent to

00:13:31.360 having their bodies drugged and mutilated, those same people would say that, you know, even 18-year-olds

00:13:38.480 shouldn't be tried as adults because they don't know what they're doing.

00:13:43.600 I mean, like, make a, remember the 16-year-old kids who carjacked a guy in D.C. and killed him?

00:13:51.080 And all they cared about afterwards was finding their phone?

00:13:56.920 Let's, like, make a Venn diagram where, you know, you've got the people who supported trying

00:14:02.740 those girls as children, not adults, and also the people who think that, because they didn't know

00:14:09.680 what they're doing, and also the people who think that 10-year-olds can consent to gender-affirming

00:14:13.880 care. There's going to be a lot of people in that middle bubble there, a lot of overlap in those

00:14:19.820 groups, which is incoherent. And because children can't choose these treatments, they also cannot

00:14:27.000 choose the consequences that will come down the road. Thousands of kids, soon to be millions of

00:14:32.240 kids, are undergoing medical procedures that will make them sterile and infertile for life.

00:14:37.800 Can they choose that? Can a 13-year-old actually choose to never have children?

00:14:43.880 What does a choice mean made by someone that age? You know, when I was 20, I thought I'd never have

00:14:49.960 kids. I couldn't imagine wanting kids when I was 20, as an adult. By 25, I had two.

00:14:58.300 So what about 13? I can't even remember what I thought at 13, because it was so long ago,

00:15:02.780 and I was so young that I might as well have been a different person. Kids are making lifelong

00:15:08.640 decisions now that their older selves will have to live with forever. There's a reason why, you know,

00:15:15.900 when you think back to your childhood, your memories often have a kind of dream-like quality to them.

00:15:21.760 And sometimes you might even confuse a dream from your childhood with an actual event,

00:15:27.220 because the two are sort of stored in your brain in the same way, and you remember them the same way.

00:15:32.440 They have the same kind of texture to them and feeling to them. Why is that? Because you viewed

00:15:37.300 the world so differently when you were a kid. You experienced it so differently. You had such

00:15:42.960 a different perspective that your memories are like dreams. Can you imagine if you were saddled with a

00:15:49.200 lifelong physical disability because of something that you decided way back then? And can you imagine

00:15:54.120 if your parents went along with it? How could you ever talk to your parents again?

00:16:02.880 Well, soon many millions of young adults will be in exactly that spot. There is a wave of misery coming

00:16:08.200 that we cannot even comprehend unless we stop it now. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:16:15.800 We live in a very exhausting world, and that's why I'm so grateful every day for Helix Sleep, my Helix

00:17:35.060 All right, so let's check in with the Biden administration and their response to the crisis in Ukraine.

00:17:41.660 So we got a few. We'll start with John Kerry with a clip that is like so many others. It's

00:17:51.460 something that you could take this and put it on the Babylon Bee, and you would believe that it was

00:17:57.880 parody, but this is actual real life. So we'll get to that in a second. But let's go through some of

00:18:02.740 these clips of Joe Biden addressing the nation yesterday and answering questions in a press

00:18:09.580 conference, a few questions anyway, about his response to Putin and what he's going to do about

00:18:14.820 it. So let's go down the list here and start with clip 5A.

00:18:18.500 If sanctions cannot stop President Putin, what penalty can?

00:18:23.560 I didn't say sanctions couldn't stop him.

00:18:25.840 You've been talking about the threat of these sanctions for several weeks now.

00:18:28.700 Yes, but the threat of the sanctions and imposing the sanctions and seeing the effect of the sanctions

00:18:33.120 are two different things. They're two different things. And we're now going to, he's going to begin to see the effect of the sanctions.

00:18:41.240 And what will that do? How will that change his mindset here, given he's attacking Ukraine?

00:18:45.760 Because it will so weaken his country that he'll have to make a very, very difficult choice as to whether to continue

00:18:51.640 to move toward being a second rate power or, in fact, respond.

00:18:55.440 You said in recent weeks that big nations cannot bluff when it comes to something like this.

00:19:00.240 You recently said that the idea of personally sanctioning President Putin was on the table.

00:19:04.720 Is that a step that you're prepared to take? And if not a bluff, it's on the table.

00:19:09.340 Sanctioning President Putin?

00:19:10.760 Yes.

00:19:11.200 Why not sanction him today, sir?

00:19:12.860 Mr. President?

00:19:14.040 Why not sanction him today, sir?

00:19:16.420 So we're not going to we're not going to go after Putin personally.

00:19:18.860 We're not going to do anything to make him hurt personally.

00:19:20.520 And, you know, the other the other real big thing here is that we're not going to do anything about oil and gas.

00:19:29.080 I mean, we you know, we still are going to be relying on Russia for our energy needs,

00:19:34.840 just like the entire Western world is.

00:19:38.800 Because we have no choice at this point.

00:19:42.380 I mean, he has us literally against a barrel here.

00:19:45.000 He has us over over a barrel in more ways than one.

00:19:50.520 Because we have the opportunity leading up to this to make ourselves or at least get closer to the objective of energy independence.

00:19:59.300 But Biden put a stop to that.

00:20:02.100 Democrats have been have been fighting against that.

00:20:05.200 For years now.

00:20:08.520 And so what do we do now?

00:20:10.720 Well, we have these toothless, pointless sanctions.

00:20:14.900 Let's go to clip six.

00:20:16.640 Clearly have not been enough to deter Vladimir Putin to this point.

00:20:20.080 What is going to stop him?

00:20:22.420 How and when does this end?

00:20:24.780 And do you see him trying to go beyond Ukraine?

00:20:27.720 And a second question I'll just give to you now.

00:20:29.540 This statement that he gave last night will that the wet the threat that he gave the West will face consequences greater than any you have faced in history.

00:20:37.320 Is he threatening a nuclear strike?

00:20:38.820 I have no idea what he's threatening.

00:20:43.400 I know what he has done, number one.

00:20:46.600 And number two, no one expected the sanctions to prevent anything from happening.

00:20:52.880 It has to show this could take time and we have to show resolve so he knows what's coming.

00:20:59.580 And so the people of Russia know what he's brought on them. 0.82

00:21:02.720 That's what this is all about.

00:21:04.280 This is going to take time.

00:21:05.600 It's not going to occur.

00:21:06.780 He's going to say, oh, my God, these sanctions are coming.

00:21:09.100 I'm going to stand down.

00:21:10.680 He's going to test the resolve of the West to see if we stay together.

00:21:13.600 And we will.

00:21:14.880 We will.

00:21:15.740 And it will impose significant costs on him.

00:21:18.640 I think the most significant thing in that clip is the president of the United States was asked, sir, are we going to be nuked?

00:21:27.520 And his answer was, well, I have no idea.

00:21:30.440 Maybe.

00:21:31.320 Stay tuned and find out.

00:21:32.660 But you could not possibly select someone who's less equipped to handle a moment like this than Joe Biden.

00:21:45.580 I mean, that alone should be, and there's just so many things happening, but that alone is major headline news.

00:21:52.960 The president of the United States could not offer any assurance that we won't get nuked.

00:21:58.780 Because he also has no idea what he's saying.

00:22:01.080 And you can tell based on the words he's using.

00:22:04.540 You can also just see it in his eyes that he always looks lost.

00:22:09.660 And that's why I always say that I prefer if he doesn't, I know he often gets criticized because he doesn't appear before the media enough.

00:22:18.900 He takes too long to get out and address situations like this.

00:22:25.560 When the invasion was first underway, you know, Donald Trump was speaking about it and he was on top of it.

00:22:31.100 But Biden was asleep.

00:22:34.100 Biden said, I'll get to it in the morning.

00:22:37.880 And what you hear oftentimes from the right and even on the left is a criticism that we need to see more of him.

00:22:42.760 I disagree completely.

00:22:44.100 I think the more time he spends on TV, on camera, the worse it is for everybody.

00:22:53.800 Because you could just tell that he is this bumbling, confused, totally lost, doddering old man.

00:22:59.520 It doesn't help at all in any way to have that image projected.

00:23:08.060 I would prefer if he just doesn't appear on camera again.

00:23:10.660 Okay, let's go to this.

00:23:15.500 So John Kerry is, what is his official title?

00:23:18.560 He's, I think, the climate ambassador.

00:23:21.060 So he's also a doddering old, confused man.

00:23:26.220 And he could just go off and retire and be done.

00:23:30.240 But he doesn't want to do that.

00:23:31.360 He has to hang on to some semblance of power.

00:23:33.940 He tried to be president.

00:23:34.900 That didn't work out.

00:23:36.340 He was in the Senate for a long time.

00:23:37.900 And so he just, give him some kind of title.

00:23:41.140 Give him something to do.

00:23:41.880 He needs to feel important.

00:23:42.820 So they made him climate ambassador.

00:23:46.280 And here he is speaking to the media.

00:23:50.580 And this was before the invasion actually happened.

00:23:53.940 But here's his primary concern.

00:23:56.640 Let's listen to this.

00:23:58.360 I'm very concerned about, I'm concerned about Ukraine because of the people of Ukraine 1.00

00:24:04.040 and because of the principles that are at risk in terms of international law

00:24:09.220 and trying to change boundaries of international law by force.

00:24:14.080 I thought we lived in a world that had said no to that kind of activity.

00:24:18.800 And I hope diplomacy will win.

00:24:20.900 But massive emissions consequences to the war.

00:24:25.140 But equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus.

00:24:28.740 You're going to lose certainly big country attention

00:24:31.820 because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact.

00:24:37.360 So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize

00:24:40.340 that in the northern part of his country,

00:24:42.880 they used to live on 66% of a nation that was over frozen land.

00:24:48.220 Now it's thawing.

00:24:49.940 And his infrastructure is at risk.

00:24:52.560 And the people of Russia are at risk.

00:24:54.680 And so I hope President Putin will help us to stay on track

00:24:58.700 with respect to what we need to do for the climate.

00:25:02.500 Well, that'll do it.

00:25:03.920 Just tell Putin that it's hurting the environment.

00:25:06.660 And I'm sure that'll convince him.

00:25:08.780 So as far as John Kerry is concerned,

00:25:11.340 the prospect of a major war, of even world war,

00:25:14.580 it's bad for two reasons.

00:25:17.220 And one is that think of all the emissions

00:25:19.280 that are going to be spewed into the air.

00:25:23.700 But then also, let's not make a straw man of his argument.

00:25:27.320 That's not the only thing, the only problem with a world war.

00:25:31.640 The second, and he says equally as important,

00:25:33.920 is that it will distract people's focus

00:25:36.180 from the problem of emissions and climate change.

00:25:39.420 We have very unserious people running the government.

00:25:47.740 We have become a very unserious nation and civilization.

00:25:53.480 Which makes us, again, woefully unequipped

00:25:56.400 for serious moments like this.

00:25:59.540 And speaking of being unserious,

00:26:01.200 here's another example,

00:26:03.120 not just in the government, but also in media.

00:26:04.960 So The View, you know, if you tune into The View,

00:26:07.880 whoever makes the mistake of doing that,

00:26:09.740 maybe, I don't know what you're expecting

00:26:13.080 when it comes to something like this.

00:26:14.400 I don't know if you're expecting

00:26:15.140 real insight into geopolitics

00:26:20.040 from the ladies of The View.

00:26:21.520 But if that's what you're looking for,

00:26:22.580 you're going to be disappointed.

00:26:23.920 Here is Joy Behar.

00:26:25.620 What's her main concern?

00:26:28.180 What does she worry might happen

00:26:29.840 if this conflict spreads and becomes a world war?

00:26:33.200 Yeah, there's global warming.

00:26:34.780 But as far as she's concerned,

00:26:36.420 there's a consequence even more dire than that.

00:26:39.480 Listen.

00:26:40.940 Estimates are 50,000 Ukrainians will be dead or wounded.

00:26:45.320 Yeah.

00:26:45.540 And that this is going to start a humanitarian crisis,

00:26:48.940 a refugee crisis in Europe.

00:26:50.500 We're talking about 5 million people

00:26:52.180 that are going to be displaced.

00:26:54.560 I mean, it's heartbreaking to hear

00:26:57.960 what is going to happen.

00:26:59.740 Yeah.

00:27:00.180 Well, I'm scared of what's going to happen

00:27:01.580 in Western Europe, too.

00:27:03.180 Yeah.

00:27:03.680 You know, you just, you plan a trip.

00:27:05.300 You want to go there.

00:27:06.160 I want to go to Italy for four years.

00:27:07.620 I haven't been able to make it

00:27:08.860 because of the pandemic.

00:27:11.120 And now this, you know,

00:27:12.300 it's like, who's going to,

00:27:13.380 what's going to happen there?

00:27:15.520 And now this.

00:27:17.980 First, there was a pandemic

00:27:19.140 of 5 million people died

00:27:20.120 and it stopped me from taking

00:27:20.920 my Italy vacation

00:27:22.480 that I've wanted to take.

00:27:23.480 It's been my dream.

00:27:24.220 And now we have war.

00:27:26.940 What else?

00:27:28.000 What else is going to happen to me

00:27:29.360 as Joy Behar?

00:27:30.280 So I think some very compelling arguments

00:27:32.840 have been presented to Putin.

00:27:35.420 And hopefully he's paying attention

00:27:37.200 because, listen,

00:27:39.160 you got to stop this

00:27:40.140 because if you don't,

00:27:42.280 it's going to kill more polar bears 0.99

00:27:43.860 from global warming.

00:27:45.040 And if that's not enough

00:27:46.280 to persuade you,

00:27:47.840 Mr. President,

00:27:48.940 then also you're preventing Joy Behar

00:27:51.420 from going on an Italian vacation

00:27:53.560 that, by the way,

00:27:54.900 she's wanted to take for four years.

00:27:59.000 We'll have to see.

00:28:00.760 We'll have to see if that,

00:28:01.760 if that does the trick.

00:28:03.620 Okay, let's,

00:28:04.820 let's go.

00:28:06.220 This is hot off the presses here.

00:28:07.900 President Biden's from Fox.

00:28:08.920 President Biden is nominating

00:28:10.000 Judge Kentonji Brown Jackson

00:28:12.060 to the Supreme Court,

00:28:13.440 making good on a campaign promise

00:28:14.720 to pick the first black woman 0.99

00:28:16.320 for the nation's highest court.

00:28:18.180 Brown Jackson, 51,

00:28:19.940 is a judge for the U.S. Court

00:28:21.180 of Appeals

00:28:21.640 for the District of Columbia.

00:28:23.700 Biden will make the announcement

00:28:24.660 on Friday.

00:28:25.840 Brown Jackson has faced 0.76

00:28:27.160 heightened scrutiny

00:28:27.680 over a judicial record

00:28:28.840 that includes high-profile rulings

00:28:30.400 later overruled by higher judges.

00:28:33.320 Beyond that,

00:28:34.360 I'm just seeing this news now,

00:28:36.580 so I don't know anything else about her. 0.98

00:28:38.200 Is she a crazy far-left wacko? 1.00

00:28:41.420 You can assume 0.99

00:28:42.500 because a Democrat

00:28:44.220 wouldn't nominate anybody else.

00:28:48.040 But one thing that I'm hearing,

00:28:50.360 really from,

00:28:51.440 actually from both sides,

00:28:52.640 and even some Republicans

00:28:53.620 have come out already

00:28:54.640 and said that,

00:28:55.380 well,

00:28:55.560 she's very qualified

00:28:57.600 for the job.

00:28:59.280 And that's what we're hearing

00:29:00.200 from the media.

00:29:00.740 She's a super-qualified nominee.

00:29:05.700 If you look at her record,

00:29:06.800 you look at all of her experience,

00:29:07.820 very, very qualified

00:29:08.460 for the job.

00:29:09.980 And she might be.

00:29:11.340 She might be very qualified.

00:29:12.960 Like I said,

00:29:15.860 I haven't looked at her resume.

00:29:16.980 I don't know.

00:29:18.320 But this is exactly the problem.

00:29:20.800 This was exactly the problem

00:29:22.860 with coming out ahead of time

00:29:24.720 and saying, 0.82

00:29:25.420 I'm going to find a black woman. 1.00

00:29:27.940 We're going to narrow it down 0.92

00:29:29.000 to begin with

00:29:29.640 to only black women, 0.69

00:29:31.460 and I'm not going to consider 0.88

00:29:32.580 anybody outside of that.

00:29:35.680 No matter how qualified they are.

00:29:37.300 Well,

00:29:40.120 when you eventually 0.91

00:29:41.740 nominate a black woman, 1.00

00:29:43.280 even if she is 0.96

00:29:44.300 the most qualified candidate

00:29:46.220 of all potential candidates,

00:29:49.300 of all races,

00:29:50.240 you've already undermined

00:29:52.360 those qualifications

00:29:53.280 and undermined your own pick

00:29:54.980 by announcing ahead of time

00:29:58.140 this is going to be

00:29:58.640 an affirmative action thing,

00:29:59.840 and you're only looking at people

00:30:02.280 from a certain race

00:30:03.600 and gender category. 1.00

00:30:07.300 And that becomes even dumber. 0.99

00:30:09.300 To announce ahead of time, 1.00

00:30:10.440 I'm going to pick a black woman, 1.00

00:30:11.880 was already a dumb move. 1.00

00:30:14.220 It's even dumber 1.00

00:30:15.140 if you do end up 0.99

00:30:17.000 picking someone

00:30:17.820 who legitimately

00:30:18.820 is the most qualified

00:30:20.280 out of any potential candidate.

00:30:23.380 So if you were going to do that,

00:30:24.680 then why not just

00:30:25.800 nominate her 0.99

00:30:27.140 without saying anything

00:30:29.680 ahead of time

00:30:30.220 or making any promises

00:30:31.140 that it's going to be 0.55

00:30:31.780 a black woman, 0.99

00:30:32.620 just nominate her. 0.96

00:30:34.260 And then people will say, 0.98

00:30:35.300 oh, you nominated a black woman. 0.99

00:30:37.300 And then you can easily say 0.91

00:30:40.960 that, well, I nominate her

00:30:41.720 because she's the most qualified.

00:30:45.040 You can't really make

00:30:45.860 that argument now

00:30:46.620 because, again,

00:30:47.660 you said ahead of time

00:30:48.640 that the vast majority

00:30:49.800 of the potential applicants

00:30:51.260 are going to be ruled out

00:30:52.680 from the start

00:30:53.860 because of their race or gender.

00:30:59.480 All right.

00:31:00.100 Let's,

00:31:00.480 I've had this,

00:31:01.760 I also had this case

00:31:02.440 that I've had here

00:31:03.260 on the docket

00:31:03.700 to talk about,

00:31:04.400 and let's get to it now.

00:31:05.440 I'm reading now

00:31:06.520 from the New York Post.

00:31:07.220 This is from a couple days ago,

00:31:08.600 and this is the language

00:31:10.520 they use in their article.

00:31:12.620 Okay, it's not my language.

00:31:14.480 The transgender woman 0.72

00:31:15.460 convicted of sexually assaulting 0.97

00:31:16.760 a 10-year-old girl

00:31:17.700 reportedly boasted

00:31:19.200 about her two-year sentence

00:31:20.460 as Los Angeles'

00:31:21.660 progressive district attorney

00:31:22.620 admitted the punishment

00:31:24.380 may have been too lenient.

00:31:26.480 District attorney George Gascon,

00:31:28.180 who faces an ongoing recall effort,

00:31:30.700 said Sunday

00:31:31.120 that he would have handled

00:31:31.960 Hannah Tubbs' case differently

00:31:33.800 had he known about her

00:31:35.400 disregard for the harm

00:31:36.860 that she caused

00:31:37.400 her 10-year-old victim.

00:31:40.640 The prosecutor said

00:31:41.480 in a statement,

00:31:41.880 while for most people

00:31:42.820 several years of jail time

00:31:44.320 is adequate,

00:31:44.940 it may not be for Ms. Tubbs.

00:31:47.200 After her sentencing

00:31:47.960 in our case,

00:31:48.460 I became aware

00:31:49.040 of extremely troubling statements

00:31:50.420 she made about her case,

00:31:51.720 the resolution of it,

00:31:52.540 and the young girl

00:31:53.140 that she harmed.

00:31:55.080 While in custody,

00:31:56.020 Tubbs made crude 0.99

00:31:57.500 and disparaging comments

00:31:58.660 about the girl

00:31:59.380 that he had victimized

00:32:00.920 while boasting that she,

00:32:04.640 so again,

00:32:05.040 going back to the language

00:32:05.720 in the article,

00:32:06.420 wouldn't have to register

00:32:07.300 as a sex offender

00:32:08.020 citing a recorded call

00:32:09.520 to her father.

00:32:10.060 So we have some of that audio

00:32:11.020 we can play.

00:32:11.440 This is from a Fox 11 report.

00:32:12.820 This is so-called

00:32:14.380 Hannah Tubbs,

00:32:15.800 and if you're watching this

00:32:16.560 on video,

00:32:17.020 you can see the photograph

00:32:18.960 of Ms. Hannah Tubbs,

00:32:22.740 which is just,

00:32:23.660 it's a dude,

00:32:24.360 okay,

00:32:24.600 this is a guy,

00:32:25.720 actually not even making

00:32:27.800 any effort at all

00:32:28.940 to even look like a woman,

00:32:30.580 just a guy 0.99

00:32:31.140 with kind of a gross 0.79

00:32:33.620 half beard,

00:32:35.700 and just a guy,

00:32:36.380 like a buzz cut.

00:32:39.200 But he said,

00:32:40.200 oh, you know what,

00:32:40.640 actually I'm a woman.

00:32:42.520 And so he's going to get to go,

00:32:43.620 you know,

00:32:43.840 if he went to prison,

00:32:45.160 he'd be going to a woman's prison, 1.00

00:32:46.360 except in this case,

00:32:47.060 he's not going to prison

00:32:47.840 because they decided

00:32:49.840 to try him as a minor.

00:32:50.760 Here's some of the recording

00:32:51.780 of Hannah Tubbs

00:32:53.020 talking to,

00:32:53.500 I believe he's talking

00:32:53.900 to his father in jail,

00:32:55.640 and this is some

00:32:56.340 of what came out.

00:32:57.240 Let's listen to that.

00:32:57.980 Don't worry about it,

00:33:00.020 it's a strike,

00:33:00.880 but they're going to plead,

00:33:01.520 I'm going to plead out to him,

00:33:02.340 I'm going to plead guilty,

00:33:03.560 they're going to stick me

00:33:04.060 on probation,

00:33:05.020 and it's going to be dropped,

00:33:06.200 it's going to be done,

00:33:06.820 done.

00:33:07.200 I won't have to register,

00:33:08.320 I won't have to do nothing.

00:33:09.020 For an offender,

00:33:10.180 you don't have to register?

00:33:11.280 I won't have to do none of that.

00:33:12.520 So what are they going to do

00:33:13.300 to you that?

00:33:14.500 Nothing.

00:33:15.540 Gascon now admits

00:33:16.500 the Tubbs sentence

00:33:17.420 not tough enough,

00:33:18.740 saying in a statement,

00:33:20.180 if we knew about her

00:33:21.200 disregard for the harm

00:33:22.440 she caused,

00:33:23.320 we would have handled

00:33:24.220 this case differently.

00:33:25.960 The complex issues

00:33:27.000 and facts of her

00:33:27.980 particular case

00:33:28.740 were unusual

00:33:29.320 and I should have

00:33:30.080 treated them that way.

00:33:32.660 So this again is someone

00:33:33.920 now 26 years old

00:33:35.960 who had a few years ago

00:33:39.100 molested a 10-year-old girl

00:33:40.440 and was sentenced

00:33:42.580 to two years

00:33:44.540 in a juvenile facility,

00:33:46.660 not tried as an adult,

00:33:49.340 and also will not

00:33:52.620 have to register

00:33:53.440 as a sex offender,

00:33:54.320 as you heard him

00:33:55.300 bragging about.

00:33:55.880 He was very excited

00:33:56.600 about it.

00:33:57.920 Not going to have to

00:33:58.620 register as a sex offender.

00:34:00.780 So we're going to

00:34:01.660 let him out,

00:34:03.340 release him onto the public,

00:34:04.400 and we're not going

00:34:06.100 to tell anybody.

00:34:07.840 We're not going to

00:34:09.100 alert the communities

00:34:11.140 about who this guy is

00:34:12.920 and what he's done.

00:34:15.120 So hey,

00:34:15.740 I mean,

00:34:15.960 your kids might go over there

00:34:17.260 and knock on his door

00:34:17.980 for trick-or-treating.

00:34:19.040 You would be none the wiser.

00:34:20.440 Now, again,

00:34:24.040 the prosecutor says

00:34:25.220 that he wasn't aware

00:34:26.140 of these calls,

00:34:27.180 and there was much more

00:34:28.200 that's quote-unquote

00:34:29.480 Hannah Tubbs said

00:34:30.640 in these calls,

00:34:31.500 gloating about the fact,

00:34:32.660 about what he did

00:34:33.500 and disparaging his victim

00:34:35.620 and gloating about

00:34:37.560 the lenient sentence.

00:34:39.160 Although it shouldn't,

00:34:40.220 that shouldn't even matter.

00:34:41.980 Right?

00:34:42.500 The fact that he made

00:34:43.240 these calls

00:34:43.760 and was bragging

00:34:44.300 about the fact

00:34:44.720 that he doesn't have

00:34:45.500 to go to prison,

00:34:46.940 that shouldn't matter.

00:34:48.380 You shouldn't need

00:34:50.040 the calls to know 0.99

00:34:51.340 that this perverted freak 0.99

00:34:53.080 needs to be behind bars 0.99

00:34:54.600 for a long time.

00:34:55.740 I mean,

00:34:55.900 really forever.

00:34:58.760 It actually shouldn't

00:34:59.900 make a difference

00:35:00.560 that he was bragging

00:35:02.400 about it in phone calls.

00:35:04.400 But actually,

00:35:05.140 as it turns out,

00:35:06.020 the DA did know about this.

00:35:08.060 So this is from Fox.

00:35:09.580 It says,

00:35:09.940 Files obtained

00:35:10.520 by Fox News Digital

00:35:11.600 show Los Angeles

00:35:12.420 district attorney

00:35:12.940 George Gascon's office

00:35:14.340 was aware

00:35:15.180 of disturbing jailhouse recordings 0.95

00:35:16.560 of transgender child molester 1.00

00:35:17.720 Hannah Tubbs 0.99

00:35:18.640 gloating about

00:35:19.460 a light sentence

00:35:20.140 on February 2nd.

00:35:21.880 Gascon released

00:35:22.720 a statement Sunday

00:35:23.540 denying knowledge

00:35:24.400 of the recordings

00:35:24.980 until after Tubbs' sentencing.

00:35:26.960 But audio files

00:35:27.700 sent to Gascon's office

00:35:28.700 on February 2nd

00:35:29.680 contained titles

00:35:30.400 such as

00:35:31.020 Pled to Avoid

00:35:32.300 Adult Jail Time,

00:35:34.140 Racist,

00:35:35.480 Time in the Hole 0.99

00:35:36.220 Doesn't Care

00:35:36.840 Because He's Been Sentenced,

00:35:38.720 Won't Have to Register,

00:35:40.840 and then other titles as well.

00:35:44.200 Some of them

00:35:44.580 more vulgar.

00:35:45.360 So we have evidence

00:35:48.380 that the DA

00:35:49.040 was given

00:35:50.460 these files

00:35:52.480 and knew about it

00:35:53.280 and still

00:35:54.600 passed down

00:35:55.420 the sentence anyway.

00:35:57.880 And as bad

00:35:58.880 as all that is,

00:36:00.100 just adding

00:36:00.740 insult to injury here,

00:36:03.360 reading these media reports,

00:36:05.280 even from

00:36:06.320 supposedly

00:36:06.960 conservative outlets,

00:36:10.280 media reports

00:36:11.620 that take a negative

00:36:12.820 view of what's happened

00:36:14.440 and rightly so,

00:36:16.520 they still

00:36:17.400 are

00:36:18.760 diligently

00:36:19.960 making sure

00:36:21.000 that they

00:36:21.760 respect the pronouns

00:36:23.040 of this 1.00

00:36:24.820 child rapist. 1.00

00:36:28.180 Still, 1.00

00:36:29.220 and you saw

00:36:29.700 what the guy

00:36:30.120 looked like,

00:36:31.240 this dude

00:36:32.360 who is just

00:36:33.280 a dude,

00:36:35.420 just a,

00:36:36.240 just a,

00:36:36.700 just a guy

00:36:37.460 who,

00:36:39.060 who just declared

00:36:40.140 one day,

00:36:40.580 actually I'm a woman.

00:36:41.140 and even

00:36:44.040 with him,

00:36:44.860 they feel

00:36:45.620 that they have

00:36:46.140 to respect

00:36:46.600 his pronouns

00:36:47.060 and refer to him

00:36:49.040 as a,

00:36:49.300 as a woman.

00:36:51.200 Why?

00:36:52.460 Because you know

00:36:52.940 it's not true

00:36:53.540 and are we worried

00:36:56.100 about this,

00:36:57.240 affirming this man's

00:36:58.360 self-perception?

00:37:00.400 Are you actually

00:37:00.880 worried about

00:37:01.300 hurting his feelings?

00:37:02.140 that's just the,

00:37:06.620 the,

00:37:07.260 the total absurdity

00:37:08.100 of it.

00:37:09.700 Even the people

00:37:10.480 who are outraged

00:37:11.320 by it,

00:37:11.720 and rightly so,

00:37:13.040 still are not

00:37:14.300 so outraged

00:37:15.300 that they would

00:37:16.200 dare hurt

00:37:16.940 this man's

00:37:17.480 feelings

00:37:17.840 by misgendering

00:37:18.860 him.

00:37:20.420 That's what we've

00:37:21.080 gotten.

00:37:21.980 Okay,

00:37:22.160 let's get now

00:37:22.580 to the comment

00:37:23.220 section.

00:37:23.560 Well,

00:37:32.060 if you want

00:37:32.220 to leave a video

00:37:32.700 comment,

00:37:33.260 dailywire.com

00:37:34.100 slash sweetbabycomments

00:37:36.280 on my clip sheet

00:37:36.800 here that we've

00:37:38.100 got a funny,

00:37:39.620 this is a,

00:37:40.240 in all caps,

00:37:40.980 supposedly a funny

00:37:41.660 comment.

00:37:43.340 That's what McKenna,

00:37:44.400 producer McKenna

00:37:44.880 is claiming anyway,

00:37:45.620 so we'll see.

00:37:46.980 You're on the hook.

00:37:47.740 Let's see.

00:37:48.200 Let's watch.

00:37:49.080 Hey,

00:37:49.520 Mr. Matt Walsh,

00:37:50.520 how's it going?

00:39:16.020 sweet baby daddy,

00:39:17.140 long-a-maw. 0.99

00:39:20.720 McKenna's

00:39:21.180 banned from

00:39:21.480 the show.

00:39:22.720 This is,

00:39:23.780 how long was

00:39:24.340 that?

00:39:24.600 Seven and a

00:39:25.140 half minutes?

00:39:26.520 What happened?

00:39:27.500 What was that?

00:39:28.640 Why was that?

00:39:30.020 Who goes to

00:39:30.680 libraries?

00:39:31.100 I have a lot

00:39:31.420 of questions.

00:39:33.780 And I'm glad

00:39:34.560 that we could

00:39:34.820 all experience

00:39:35.260 that together.

00:39:37.080 And McKenna, 0.85

00:39:39.480 ZipRecruiter is

00:39:40.420 where I would

00:39:40.760 go to find

00:39:41.500 a new job.

00:39:43.100 So,

00:39:43.420 CoolPapaJMagic

00:39:44.700 says,

00:39:45.180 this wouldn't

00:39:45.580 have happened

00:39:46.060 under Trump.

00:39:47.580 Talking about

00:39:48.120 Ukraine now.

00:39:48.960 Well,

00:39:49.320 that video

00:39:50.020 might not

00:39:50.320 have happened

00:39:50.560 under Trump

00:39:50.840 either.

00:39:51.360 This wouldn't

00:39:51.700 have happened

00:39:52.000 under Trump.

00:39:52.760 You can hate

00:39:53.120 him all you

00:39:53.420 want,

00:39:53.640 but it's

00:39:53.880 true.

00:39:55.480 We know

00:39:56.020 that it

00:39:56.220 wouldn't

00:39:56.360 have happened.

00:39:56.660 We don't

00:39:56.800 have to speak

00:39:57.960 hypothetically

00:39:58.640 about it.

00:39:59.100 It didn't

00:39:59.480 happen under

00:39:59.940 Trump.

00:40:01.060 There was

00:40:01.440 four years

00:40:02.460 of relative

00:40:04.500 peace,

00:40:05.380 about as

00:40:05.880 peaceful as

00:40:06.360 the world

00:40:06.640 can possibly

00:40:07.260 be under

00:40:08.940 Trump.

00:40:09.180 You can

00:40:10.540 speculate about

00:40:11.220 why that

00:40:11.720 is and

00:40:12.160 how it

00:40:12.460 turned out

00:40:12.820 that way,

00:40:13.420 but it

00:40:13.720 did not

00:40:14.160 happen under

00:40:14.640 Trump.

00:40:16.840 And I

00:40:17.320 think one

00:40:18.360 of the

00:40:18.620 reasons for

00:40:19.140 that is

00:40:19.780 that Trump

00:40:22.340 was not

00:40:24.520 very predictable.

00:40:26.960 And so I

00:40:27.320 think the

00:40:27.960 world leaders,

00:40:28.600 especially in

00:40:29.100 places like

00:40:29.620 China and

00:40:30.060 Russia,

00:40:30.840 they didn't

00:40:31.560 know exactly

00:40:32.020 what he would

00:40:32.340 do,

00:40:32.520 how he would

00:40:32.800 respond to

00:40:33.180 things.

00:40:33.420 And there

00:40:35.080 are downsides

00:40:36.740 to a lack

00:40:37.940 of predictability

00:40:38.720 in your

00:40:40.780 president,

00:40:41.580 but this is

00:40:42.180 one of the

00:40:42.400 upsides.

00:40:43.220 Now,

00:40:44.100 Biden, on the

00:40:44.680 other hand,

00:40:45.000 is very

00:40:45.300 predictable.

00:40:45.880 I mean,

00:40:46.020 he's a

00:40:46.300 vegetable,

00:40:46.920 and you

00:40:47.780 know exactly

00:40:48.320 what he's

00:40:48.640 going to

00:40:48.940 do,

00:40:49.180 which is

00:40:49.560 basically

00:40:50.060 nothing.

00:40:53.900 Buckman

00:40:54.220 says,

00:40:54.780 I agree with

00:40:55.240 Matt's view

00:40:55.720 on the U.S.

00:40:56.340 convoy.

00:40:56.840 I fear that

00:40:57.260 it's far too

00:40:57.940 disorganized to

00:40:58.940 actually achieve

00:40:59.680 anything.

00:41:00.120 I found

00:41:01.720 out after

00:41:02.140 the fact,

00:41:02.720 a couple

00:41:03.060 people messaged

00:41:04.060 me and said

00:41:05.040 that I played

00:41:05.760 the clip of

00:41:06.340 one of the

00:41:07.240 guys in

00:41:07.740 D.C.

00:41:08.140 who says

00:41:08.540 that he's

00:41:08.880 an organizer

00:41:09.720 of the

00:41:10.480 truck convoy,

00:41:12.020 at least

00:41:12.380 according to

00:41:12.680 some of

00:41:12.840 the comments

00:41:13.060 I've gotten,

00:41:13.400 they said

00:41:13.640 that this

00:41:14.220 guy's not

00:41:14.600 even a

00:41:14.900 trucker.

00:41:15.240 I don't

00:41:15.340 know if

00:41:15.480 that's

00:41:15.640 true or

00:41:15.880 not

00:41:16.020 exactly,

00:41:16.520 but it

00:41:18.620 would be

00:41:19.100 kind of

00:41:19.340 interesting

00:41:19.780 if you

00:41:20.140 have

00:41:20.280 non-truckers

00:41:21.180 that are

00:41:21.360 now involved

00:41:22.020 in organizing

00:41:22.760 this truck

00:41:23.240 convoy.

00:41:26.220 Yeah,

00:41:26.720 I think

00:41:27.140 if you're

00:41:28.220 going to do

00:41:28.580 something like

00:41:29.180 this,

00:41:30.120 at a

00:41:31.720 minimum,

00:41:32.520 you have

00:41:33.200 to have

00:41:33.400 very clear

00:41:33.920 goals in

00:41:34.320 mind like

00:41:34.580 we talked

00:41:34.840 about

00:41:35.000 yesterday.

00:41:35.380 You have

00:41:35.460 to know

00:41:35.680 exactly why

00:41:36.280 you're doing

00:41:36.640 it and

00:41:37.100 have a

00:41:37.380 unified

00:41:37.720 message.

00:41:40.280 One of

00:41:40.820 the many

00:41:41.000 problems

00:41:41.260 with this

00:41:41.500 convoy is

00:41:42.100 depending on

00:41:42.600 who you're

00:41:42.860 listening to

00:41:43.560 and who's

00:41:44.840 doing the

00:41:45.140 interview,

00:41:45.720 you kind

00:41:46.020 of get

00:41:46.220 different

00:41:46.600 reasons,

00:41:47.180 different

00:41:47.360 motivations

00:41:47.840 behind it.

00:41:50.180 And that's

00:41:50.740 not going to

00:41:50.960 be nearly

00:41:51.280 good enough

00:41:51.700 because if

00:41:52.020 you start

00:41:52.360 causing

00:41:52.820 gridlock and

00:41:53.640 shutting

00:41:53.920 down cities

00:41:54.400 and doing

00:41:54.660 all that

00:41:54.920 kind of

00:41:55.120 stuff,

00:41:56.000 people are

00:41:56.680 going to

00:41:56.800 want to

00:41:57.020 know why

00:41:57.360 you're

00:41:57.500 doing it.

00:41:59.820 And if

00:42:00.260 the answer

00:42:00.540 is sort

00:42:00.760 of a

00:42:00.940 shrug,

00:42:01.300 well,

00:42:01.640 you know,

00:42:01.820 just in

00:42:02.140 general,

00:42:02.560 freedom,

00:42:03.940 that's not

00:42:04.740 going to

00:42:04.840 be a good

00:42:05.060 enough answer.

00:42:06.200 All right.

00:42:08.280 Bro Total

00:42:09.040 says,

00:42:09.820 Matt not

00:42:10.420 doing dog

00:42:11.000 chores because

00:42:11.520 the dog

00:42:11.820 trainer told

00:42:12.140 him not

00:42:12.420 to is

00:42:12.840 simply him

00:42:13.380 doing what

00:42:13.760 we've all

00:42:14.060 been told

00:42:14.360 to do for

00:42:14.700 the last

00:42:14.960 two years.

00:42:15.820 He's just

00:42:16.220 listening to

00:42:16.680 the experts.

00:42:18.020 His wife 0.94

00:42:18.640 is a dog

00:42:19.500 science denier.

00:42:20.400 Thank you.

00:42:20.680 That's exactly

00:42:21.000 the point

00:42:21.240 that I've

00:42:21.440 been making.

00:42:22.020 Mike says,

00:42:22.400 Matt,

00:42:22.540 with all your

00:42:22.800 criticisms of

00:42:23.480 the military,

00:42:24.020 why don't you

00:42:24.400 join and

00:42:24.820 show us

00:42:25.120 how it's

00:42:25.420 done?

00:42:26.460 Well,

00:42:26.620 first of all,

00:42:26.980 my criticisms

00:42:27.460 are of the

00:42:28.440 leadership,

00:42:29.080 especially

00:42:29.320 civilian

00:42:29.760 leadership,

00:42:30.420 not of the

00:42:32.060 individuals who

00:42:32.760 are choosing

00:42:33.140 to serve.

00:42:34.560 I think that's

00:42:34.900 a pretty obvious

00:42:35.620 distinction there

00:42:36.340 and a nuance

00:42:39.100 that I believe

00:42:39.740 you're choosing

00:42:40.280 not to see.

00:42:42.580 Second,

00:42:43.100 no,

00:42:43.300 I don't want

00:42:43.600 to go fight

00:42:44.120 potentially a

00:42:44.680 world war.

00:42:45.480 I mean,

00:42:45.680 I'm against

00:42:46.060 that.

00:42:46.680 I don't want

00:42:47.380 any of our

00:42:47.780 people fighting

00:42:48.260 that.

00:42:49.780 I have no

00:42:50.500 interest in

00:42:50.940 potentially dying

00:42:51.780 to fight

00:42:52.260 Russia over 0.95

00:42:52.860 Ukraine.

00:42:53.260 or even

00:42:54.620 to protect

00:42:55.220 a Europe

00:42:55.760 that Europeans 0.97

00:42:56.660 lack the

00:42:57.180 will to

00:42:57.480 defend

00:42:57.740 themselves.

00:42:59.700 I don't

00:43:00.180 want that

00:43:00.460 for me.

00:43:00.880 Why would I

00:43:01.160 sign up to

00:43:02.080 potentially do

00:43:02.600 that?

00:43:02.760 I don't

00:43:03.140 want it

00:43:03.460 for anybody.

00:43:05.620 That's my

00:43:06.120 whole point.

00:43:08.660 My point

00:43:09.220 is I don't

00:43:09.800 want our

00:43:10.780 service members 0.91

00:43:12.020 being thrown

00:43:13.920 into the

00:43:14.280 middle of a

00:43:14.660 conflict like

00:43:15.320 this where

00:43:17.000 many of

00:43:17.360 them will 0.92

00:43:17.620 die. 0.99

00:43:19.980 And so I

00:43:20.540 don't understand

00:43:20.940 the response

00:43:21.420 from you and

00:43:21.840 so many others

00:43:22.360 saying,

00:43:22.560 well, you

00:43:23.380 have no

00:43:23.940 right to

00:43:24.220 say that

00:43:24.460 if you

00:43:24.600 haven't

00:43:24.840 served.

00:43:27.080 I think

00:43:27.720 that's a

00:43:28.160 more logical

00:43:28.680 response for

00:43:29.720 the people

00:43:30.060 who haven't

00:43:30.620 served or

00:43:31.080 are not

00:43:31.500 serving now

00:43:32.060 and yet

00:43:32.800 are just

00:43:33.340 casually

00:43:34.840 saying,

00:43:35.380 yeah, let's

00:43:35.760 go to war 0.60

00:43:36.480 with Russia.

00:43:40.020 When you're

00:43:40.620 kind of

00:43:41.180 casually trying

00:43:42.900 to inject

00:43:44.680 our troops

00:43:45.120 into the

00:43:45.440 middle of

00:43:45.760 something and

00:43:46.780 waving away

00:43:47.520 the fact that

00:43:48.320 many of them

00:43:48.920 are going to 0.97

00:43:49.380 die and 0.99

00:43:50.380 you are 1.00

00:43:51.160 not serving

00:43:51.640 yourself while

00:43:52.200 you're doing

00:43:52.480 that, I

00:43:52.980 think that's

00:43:53.460 a relevant

00:43:53.820 criticism.

00:43:57.940 And in

00:43:58.500 terms of the

00:43:59.060 criticisms over

00:43:59.780 the continued

00:44:01.360 wokeness of

00:44:02.080 the military,

00:44:04.260 again, no,

00:44:05.140 I wouldn't want

00:44:06.200 to join an

00:44:07.560 increasingly

00:44:07.980 woke-ified

00:44:08.560 military.

00:44:09.420 I'm not going

00:44:11.240 to want my

00:44:11.680 sons to join

00:44:12.540 the military

00:44:13.220 either if

00:44:13.880 things continue

00:44:14.520 this way.

00:44:14.980 And that's

00:44:17.520 something that

00:44:17.940 at a certain

00:44:18.260 point in my

00:44:18.560 life I

00:44:18.800 couldn't

00:44:18.940 imagine

00:44:19.340 myself

00:44:19.900 saying,

00:44:20.320 but now

00:44:20.640 that's how

00:44:20.960 I feel

00:44:21.200 about it.

00:44:22.160 If things

00:44:22.700 continue down

00:44:23.380 this road,

00:44:27.280 where radical

00:44:29.920 leftism continues

00:44:31.200 to infiltrate

00:44:32.040 into the

00:44:32.480 military,

00:44:34.420 because if my

00:44:35.220 sons go

00:44:35.680 serve, you

00:44:36.040 know, the

00:44:36.220 thing is when

00:44:36.520 you're in

00:44:36.720 the military,

00:44:37.220 you can't

00:44:37.520 just get up

00:44:37.880 and leave

00:44:38.140 one day.

00:44:38.920 You are

00:44:39.420 totally

00:44:39.720 subjected

00:44:40.120 to it.

00:44:42.180 But again,

00:44:42.700 that's not a

00:44:43.020 criticism of the

00:44:43.560 military itself

00:44:44.260 or the

00:44:44.780 people who

00:44:45.340 join.

00:44:46.140 It's a

00:44:46.420 criticism of

00:44:46.920 how it's

00:44:47.160 run.

00:44:48.440 That's the

00:44:48.900 distinction.

00:44:49.660 As we see

00:44:50.060 conflict unfolding

00:44:50.920 between Russia

00:44:51.700 and Ukraine,

00:44:52.140 it's become

00:44:52.520 increasingly clear

00:44:53.260 that dictators 0.92

00:44:54.340 are not to

00:44:54.880 be trusted.

00:44:55.440 And as our

00:44:55.780 country supported

00:44:56.300 Ukraine's move

00:44:57.000 to hand over

00:44:57.440 its nukes in

00:44:58.680 1994 in

00:44:59.340 exchange for

00:44:59.840 Russia's promise 0.73

00:45:00.420 to not invade,

00:45:01.500 it appears that

00:45:02.580 we are not to

00:45:03.280 be trusted either.

00:45:03.980 That's why it's

00:45:04.900 more important than

00:45:05.420 ever to understand

00:45:06.080 just how insidious

00:45:07.000 these foreign

00:45:07.520 threats are within

00:45:08.400 our own country.

00:45:09.400 And we have

00:45:09.760 just the way to

00:45:10.920 do that and

00:45:11.440 help you do

00:45:11.800 that.

00:45:12.220 It's our new

00:45:12.720 show, The Enemy

00:45:13.300 Within.

00:45:14.260 Series featuring

00:45:14.800 acclaimed

00:45:15.180 journalist and

00:45:15.960 expert in

00:45:16.320 national threats,

00:45:17.040 Lee Smith.

00:45:17.980 Smith uncovers

00:45:18.540 a political

00:45:19.020 coup orchestrated

00:45:20.280 by America's

00:45:20.940 ruling class to

00:45:21.640 generate their

00:45:22.120 own wealth and

00:45:22.740 power in

00:45:23.120 exchange for

00:45:23.980 the slow

00:45:24.460 rise of

00:45:24.940 China's 0.76

00:45:25.700 Communist Party

00:45:26.600 in America.

00:45:27.560 In the fourth

00:45:28.420 episode, Lee

00:45:29.000 describes how

00:45:29.500 the NBA has

00:45:30.840 come to depend

00:45:31.400 on China for

00:45:31.980 much of its

00:45:32.400 profits and as

00:45:33.040 a result, how

00:45:33.900 the NBA and

00:45:34.420 its players have

00:45:34.960 become a

00:45:35.380 mouthpiece for

00:45:36.520 CCP propaganda.

00:45:38.240 Check out the

00:45:38.640 trailer here.

00:45:39.480 What if

00:45:40.140 everything we

00:45:40.880 think we know

00:45:41.640 about our

00:45:42.140 leaders, our

00:45:43.600 society and

00:45:44.660 our relations

00:45:45.200 with the rest

00:45:45.880 of the world

00:45:46.460 is wrong?

00:45:51.420 America is

00:45:52.200 facing two

00:45:53.100 major challenges.

00:45:54.760 One is the

00:45:55.260 Chinese Communist 0.72

00:45:56.180 Party.

00:45:56.940 However, the

00:45:57.560 most significant

00:45:58.420 threat comes from

00:46:00.380 within.

00:46:01.380 You're trying to

00:46:02.080 obscure responsibility

00:46:03.340 for four million

00:46:04.660 people dying around

00:46:05.620 the world.

00:46:05.900 Senator Paul, you

00:46:07.120 do not know what

00:46:07.960 you are talking

00:46:08.680 about.

00:46:09.900 We've already

00:46:10.660 seen evidence of

00:46:11.760 how the elites

00:46:12.580 want to run the

00:46:13.620 United States.

00:46:14.520 They're modeling 0.51

00:46:15.220 themselves after

00:46:16.280 Chinese autocracy. 0.92

00:46:17.900 For over a

00:46:18.880 decade, the

00:46:19.760 People's Republic

00:46:20.520 of China has

00:46:22.480 stood publicly

00:46:23.340 accused of acts

00:46:24.820 of cruelty

00:46:25.640 and wickedness

00:46:27.900 that match the

00:46:29.280 cruelty and

00:46:30.140 wickedness of

00:46:32.340 many evil

00:46:33.060 torturers and 0.87

00:46:34.440 execution.

00:46:35.900 Diane Feinstein

00:46:37.120 had a Chinese

00:46:39.000 spy as her 0.71

00:46:40.080 driver for 20

00:46:41.460 years.

00:46:42.160 We're not

00:46:42.540 talking about

00:46:43.440 one person

00:46:44.660 infiltrating

00:46:45.620 senior levels

00:46:46.820 at the CIA or

00:46:48.080 the White House.

00:46:48.860 We're talking

00:46:49.480 about an entire

00:46:50.500 elite class

00:46:51.880 throughout the

00:46:52.820 political,

00:46:53.840 corporate,

00:46:54.680 academic,

00:46:55.460 cultural, and

00:46:56.180 media establishment.

00:46:57.660 My name is

00:46:58.200 Lee Smith.

00:46:59.100 I've been a

00:46:59.640 journalist for

00:47:00.420 more than 30

00:47:01.600 years.

00:47:02.340 This is the

00:47:03.020 most astonishing

00:47:04.260 esenage and

00:47:05.580 infiltration operation

00:47:07.000 in history.

00:47:08.480 What you're going

00:47:09.460 to see in this

00:47:10.660 series will shock

00:47:11.840 you.

00:47:13.400 This is the

00:47:15.280 Enemy Within.

00:47:36.820 there's no better

00:47:37.340 place for a

00:47:38.120 grand meeting

00:47:38.700 of the minds

00:47:39.260 than sitting

00:47:40.000 down over a

00:47:40.480 cup of coffee

00:47:40.980 and letting

00:47:41.280 conversation flow.

00:47:42.740 Nobody knows

00:47:43.160 that better than

00:47:43.620 Ben Shapiro.

00:47:44.480 In his new

00:47:44.820 show,

00:47:45.140 The Search,

00:47:45.680 we'll be taking

00:47:46.200 you to his

00:47:46.680 favorite local

00:47:47.220 spots to let

00:47:48.160 you in on a

00:47:48.660 secret,

00:47:49.500 which is where

00:47:50.000 the conversation

00:47:50.620 goes when the

00:47:51.340 camera isn't

00:47:52.020 rolling.

00:47:53.020 You know,

00:47:53.300 the camera is

00:47:53.760 rolling,

00:47:54.120 but,

00:47:54.440 you know,

00:47:54.800 whatever.

00:47:55.480 The second

00:47:55.800 episode of

00:47:56.220 The Search

00:47:56.520 features his

00:47:57.340 very good

00:47:57.780 friend,

00:47:58.140 highly lauded

00:47:58.620 historian,

00:47:59.160 Niall Ferguson.

00:48:00.020 It's an

00:48:00.260 excellent

00:48:00.500 conversation,

00:48:01.460 and I highly

00:48:01.940 recommend you

00:48:02.340 check it out.

00:48:02.880 The episode

00:48:03.180 released last

00:48:03.920 night,

00:48:04.220 and it's

00:48:04.380 exclusive to

00:48:05.080 Daily Wire

00:48:05.380 members,

00:48:05.980 so if you're

00:48:06.260 not currently

00:48:06.720 a member,

00:48:07.340 head to

00:48:11.160 today.

00:48:12.200 And finally,

00:48:12.800 you know,

00:48:13.000 it's always

00:48:13.440 time for new

00:48:14.040 voices to enter

00:48:14.680 the transgender

00:48:15.260 conversation,

00:48:16.020 because as

00:48:16.460 always,

00:48:16.900 diversity is

00:48:17.880 extremely

00:48:18.300 important.

00:48:18.760 That's why

00:48:19.100 I authored

00:48:19.800 the best-selling

00:48:21.060 children's

00:48:21.620 LGBTQ plus

00:48:22.840 book,

00:48:23.440 Johnny the

00:48:23.800 Walrus,

00:48:24.300 and also I

00:48:25.800 Phil to

00:48:26.180 discuss these

00:48:26.840 issues as

00:48:27.500 an expert

00:48:27.920 in the field

00:48:28.620 with other

00:48:29.460 people who

00:48:29.820 were supposedly

00:48:30.320 experts,

00:48:30.780 but they

00:48:30.960 couldn't tell

00:48:31.220 me what a

00:48:31.500 woman was,

00:48:31.940 so it turns

00:48:32.240 out that

00:48:32.480 they were

00:48:32.660 not experts.

00:48:33.760 And if you

00:48:34.100 haven't seen

00:48:34.420 any of those

00:48:34.680 clips,

00:48:34.940 go check it

00:48:35.460 out.

00:48:35.660 But even

00:48:35.940 more importantly,

00:48:36.980 if you haven't

00:48:37.240 picked up a

00:48:37.620 copy of my

00:48:38.140 best-selling

00:48:38.540 children's book,

00:48:39.380 you should do

00:48:39.840 so immediately.

00:48:40.540 It's sold out

00:48:40.880 in 48 hours

00:48:41.680 when it was

00:48:42.020 released.

00:48:43.340 Literary

00:48:43.700 sensation of

00:48:44.520 the year,

00:48:45.260 but don't

00:48:45.520 worry,

00:48:45.820 more copies

00:48:46.380 are on the

00:48:46.780 way.

00:48:47.080 Reserve

00:48:47.360 Johnny the

00:48:47.880 Walrus

00:48:48.180 now on

00:48:48.840 Amazon or

00:48:55.800 Ever since

00:48:57.180 the current

00:48:57.640 crisis began

00:48:58.300 in Ukraine,

00:48:58.820 the world

00:48:59.120 has shuddered

00:49:00.000 in dread

00:49:00.440 and anticipation,

00:49:01.360 terrified that

00:49:01.980 at any moment

00:49:02.780 the celebs

00:49:03.860 might get

00:49:04.500 involved.

00:49:05.240 And we all

00:49:05.540 knew that it

00:49:05.800 was bound

00:49:06.060 to happen.

00:49:07.360 And it only

00:49:07.700 took a few

00:49:08.080 weeks of the

00:49:08.720 pandemic before

00:49:09.600 Charlize Theron

00:49:10.580 and her

00:49:11.280 celebrity friends

00:49:12.000 recorded a

00:49:12.500 video of

00:49:12.960 themselves singing

00:49:13.940 Imagine,

00:49:15.000 a rendition so

00:49:15.760 horrible,

00:49:16.260 you'll remember,

00:49:16.720 so off-key and

00:49:17.460 tone-deaf in

00:49:18.060 every sense of

00:49:18.560 the term,

00:49:19.320 that it somehow

00:49:19.760 managed to be

00:49:20.520 even worse than

00:49:21.300 the original

00:49:21.680 version.

00:49:22.780 So what

00:49:23.540 would the

00:49:23.880 celebs do

00:49:24.580 about Ukraine?

00:49:26.520 That was the

00:49:26.820 question.

00:49:27.700 What song

00:49:28.260 would they

00:49:28.600 sing?

00:49:28.880 What PSA

00:49:29.600 would they

00:49:29.860 record?

00:49:31.460 These are the

00:49:32.020 questions that

00:49:32.500 plagued us,

00:49:33.100 and now they've

00:49:33.680 been answered.

00:49:34.580 And I'm afraid

00:49:35.100 that it's far

00:49:36.340 worse than you

00:49:37.060 could have ever

00:49:37.420 imagined.

00:49:38.380 Anna Lynn

00:49:38.840 McCord is an

00:49:39.640 actress that I've

00:49:40.360 never heard of,

00:49:40.860 but she's 0.97

00:49:41.140 apparently appeared

00:49:42.240 in many films.

00:49:43.700 Her Wikipedia

00:49:44.140 informs me that

00:49:44.760 she was also a

00:49:46.160 Teen Choice Award

00:49:47.000 nominee in 2009,

00:49:48.340 so her resume is

00:49:49.260 undoubtedly

00:49:49.640 impressive,

00:49:50.440 but it can do

00:49:51.160 nothing to rescue

00:49:52.020 what I'm about to

00:49:52.700 play for you.

00:49:53.180 Miss McCord,

00:49:53.720 has apparently

00:49:54.960 been watching

00:49:55.580 the events

00:49:56.100 unfold across

00:49:56.800 the ocean and

00:49:57.460 has arrived to

00:49:58.060 the conclusion

00:49:58.540 that whatever

00:49:59.540 the particulars of

00:50:00.340 this geopolitical

00:50:01.020 conflict,

00:50:01.920 really it's all

00:50:02.620 about her.

00:50:03.920 She may not be

00:50:04.540 a foreign policy

00:50:05.280 expert,

00:50:05.780 mind you,

00:50:06.740 but she does 0.89

00:50:07.680 know,

00:50:08.020 based on her

00:50:08.420 experience,

00:50:09.460 that she is

00:50:10.300 somehow at the

00:50:10.860 center of it.

00:50:12.720 Just as she

00:50:13.540 may not be an

00:50:14.320 astronomer by trade,

00:50:15.640 but she still 0.98

00:50:16.240 knows that the

00:50:16.840 earth and the

00:50:17.300 sun and all of

00:50:17.960 the stars revolve

00:50:18.720 around her.

00:50:19.200 Anna Lynn

00:50:19.700 McCord subscribes to

00:50:20.700 the McCordio-centric

00:50:22.080 theory of the

00:50:22.680 universe, you might

00:50:23.220 say, and that's

00:50:24.060 what led her to

00:50:24.540 record and

00:50:25.000 publish this

00:50:25.600 video.

00:50:26.380 Your challenge

00:50:27.040 here will be to

00:50:27.880 listen to it for

00:50:28.680 more than five

00:50:29.300 seconds without

00:50:30.560 dying of cringe.

00:50:31.500 In fact, in

00:50:32.960 penance for all of

00:50:33.880 our sins, I'm

00:50:34.360 going to try to

00:50:35.180 let this play for

00:50:36.620 80 seconds.

00:50:38.500 And don't look

00:50:39.320 away, don't cover

00:50:40.940 your ears, don't

00:50:42.480 turn this off.

00:50:44.040 We're going to

00:50:44.800 endure this together

00:50:45.780 and be better for it

00:50:48.140 in our suffering.

00:50:50.020 Watch.

00:50:50.340 Dear President

00:50:52.260 Vladimir Putin, I'm

00:50:54.800 so sorry that I

00:50:55.920 was not your

00:50:56.360 mother.

00:50:57.880 If I was your

00:50:58.820 mother, you would

00:50:59.360 have been so

00:50:59.960 loved, held in

00:51:01.560 the arms of

00:51:02.180 joyous light.

00:51:03.580 Never would

00:51:04.060 this story's

00:51:04.900 plight the world

00:51:05.800 unfurled before

00:51:07.240 our eyes, a pure

00:51:08.320 demise of nations

00:51:09.920 sitting peaceful

00:51:10.740 under a night sky.

00:51:11.860 If I was your

00:51:12.980 mother, the world

00:51:14.460 would have been

00:51:14.860 warm, so much

00:51:16.440 laughter and joy,

00:51:17.620 and nothing would

00:51:18.440 harm.

00:51:18.880 I can't imagine

00:51:20.240 the stain, the

00:51:21.200 soul-stealing pain

00:51:22.520 that the little

00:51:23.320 boy you must have

00:51:24.400 seen and believed

00:51:25.580 and the formulation

00:51:26.660 of thought quickly

00:51:27.820 taught that you

00:51:29.140 lived in a cruel,

00:51:30.340 unjust world.

00:51:32.460 Is this why you

00:51:34.400 now decide no one

00:51:36.160 will get the best

00:51:36.840 of you?

00:51:36.940 I can't do it

00:51:37.420 anymore.

00:51:38.120 I don't know.

00:51:38.460 We didn't get 80

00:51:38.980 seconds in.

00:51:39.540 I just, I can't.

00:51:43.000 So breaking news

00:51:44.000 for you.

00:51:44.540 Putin has heard

00:51:45.520 this poem and is

00:51:46.180 now launching a

00:51:46.840 full-scale nuclear

00:51:47.600 attack against the

00:51:48.360 United States

00:51:48.820 because of it.

00:51:50.220 And you can

00:51:50.820 hardly blame him.

00:51:51.420 I actually welcome

00:51:52.040 it.

00:51:53.440 Now, there are

00:51:54.620 times in life when

00:51:56.000 you encounter

00:51:56.420 something so crazy,

00:51:57.400 so deranged, that

00:51:58.340 your mind kind of

00:51:59.140 shuts down and

00:51:59.760 prevents you from

00:52:00.420 confronting and

00:52:01.120 comprehending the

00:52:02.540 insanity in its

00:52:03.500 fullness.

00:52:04.040 And a sentence

00:52:04.540 like, I'm so

00:52:06.100 sorry I was not

00:52:07.100 your mother, has 0.72

00:52:08.720 just that effect.

00:52:09.980 It's the kind of

00:52:10.480 thought that only a 0.99

00:52:11.140 lunatic could have 0.96

00:52:12.040 in a situation like

00:52:12.840 this, much less say

00:52:13.800 out loud on video.

00:52:15.780 It's therefore not

00:52:16.400 really possible for a

00:52:17.340 rational person to

00:52:18.940 understand the

00:52:19.740 thought process that

00:52:20.420 went into this.

00:52:20.940 I mean, did she

00:52:21.380 actually imagine a

00:52:22.460 possible scenario where

00:52:23.980 Putin would be

00:52:24.720 scrolling Twitter,

00:52:26.180 stumble across her 0.91

00:52:27.000 poem, listen to it

00:52:29.160 and be like swayed

00:52:30.360 by it?

00:52:31.360 Did she imagine

00:52:32.240 Putin tears welling

00:52:33.880 up in his eyes,

00:52:34.680 calling his generals

00:52:35.460 and saying, never

00:52:36.300 mind, the war's off.

00:52:37.940 I choose laughter and

00:52:39.340 joy instead.

00:52:40.680 Come, let us all

00:52:41.340 clasp hands and sing

00:52:43.220 songs of love and

00:52:44.180 hope.

00:52:44.440 Is that what she 0.90

00:52:45.940 thought would

00:52:46.220 happen?

00:52:47.620 Perhaps.

00:52:48.640 Though it's more

00:52:49.200 likely that she 0.89

00:52:49.660 simply intended to

00:52:50.420 get a bunch of

00:52:50.900 likes and retweets

00:52:51.760 and pats on the

00:52:52.280 back from an

00:52:54.020 adoring public,

00:52:54.700 which was also a

00:52:55.440 delusional hope.

00:52:56.860 She probably hadn't

00:52:57.620 thought it through

00:52:58.120 much more than that.

00:52:59.480 Also, I can't help

00:53:00.220 but note the fact

00:53:00.880 that Anna, from

00:53:02.680 what I can tell based

00:53:03.380 on her available

00:53:03.920 biography, is not a

00:53:05.680 mother.

00:53:06.400 So she is a

00:53:07.220 childless 35-year-old

00:53:08.460 woman, and yet she's 0.99

00:53:09.940 quite sure that her

00:53:10.800 parenting skills, if

00:53:11.760 only she had

00:53:12.260 children, would be so

00:53:13.640 flawless that she

00:53:14.620 could, as she says

00:53:15.520 in her poem, create

00:53:16.800 a utopia of, quote,

00:53:18.220 nations sitting

00:53:19.020 peaceful under a

00:53:19.920 night sky.

00:53:20.600 That's how good of a

00:53:21.380 mother she would be.

00:53:23.360 I remember when I

00:53:24.260 had similar delusions

00:53:25.100 about my own

00:53:25.640 parenting skills.

00:53:27.520 Maybe not quite that

00:53:28.600 megalomaniacal, but,

00:53:30.160 you know, close

00:53:30.580 enough.

00:53:31.640 And then I realized

00:53:32.360 that it's hard enough

00:53:33.140 to get my own kids to

00:53:34.300 go to bed and sleep

00:53:35.120 peacefully under a

00:53:35.820 night sky, much less

00:53:36.900 entire nations.

00:53:39.640 I still have not

00:53:40.440 mastered that, eight

00:53:41.120 years in.

00:53:42.100 How do you get kids to

00:53:43.040 just go to bed and

00:53:45.040 sleep peacefully?

00:53:46.080 I haven't done it one

00:53:47.540 time.

00:53:47.820 I have not succeeded

00:53:48.480 yet.

00:53:50.620 Entire nations, the

00:53:51.540 whole world, forget

00:53:52.320 about it.

00:53:53.860 Now, the best and most

00:53:54.920 generous possible

00:53:55.740 interpretation of this

00:53:56.600 poem is that Anna

00:53:57.520 McCord is sort of

00:53:59.120 sweetly clueless in a 0.51

00:54:00.780 naive, feminine,

00:54:01.940 maternalistic sort of 0.97

00:54:02.820 way.

00:54:03.460 And she thinks that

00:54:04.180 snuggles and hugs can

00:54:05.360 solve any problem,

00:54:06.580 doesn't realize that a

00:54:07.800 tendency towards

00:54:08.560 conflict and land

00:54:09.520 disputes and tribalism

00:54:10.620 and warfare are

00:54:11.720 deeply ingrained in

00:54:12.600 the human psyche.

00:54:14.020 All of the snuggles in

00:54:15.100 the world won't change

00:54:15.880 that.

00:54:17.460 But if this was just

00:54:18.380 rooted in a sort of 0.94

00:54:19.440 optimistic yet ignorant 0.99

00:54:20.720 and simple-minded 0.99

00:54:21.460 misunderstanding of

00:54:22.400 human nature, it would

00:54:23.420 perhaps not be worthy of

00:54:24.900 the same level of

00:54:25.900 mockery that it's

00:54:26.620 receiving.

00:54:27.780 Because it's well

00:54:28.520 intentioned, you know, 1.00

00:54:29.740 just really stupid. 1.00

00:54:31.400 Unfortunately, I think 1.00

00:54:32.200 the truth is not quite so

00:54:33.340 rosy for Anna

00:54:34.000 McCord.

00:54:34.620 It is, as usual,

00:54:36.400 less a matter of naive

00:54:37.880 innocence than of

00:54:38.640 extreme, suffocating

00:54:40.000 narcissism.

00:54:41.180 A narcissism so

00:54:42.200 immense in its

00:54:43.300 severity and scope

00:54:44.200 that she not only

00:54:45.300 believed she could

00:54:45.880 single-handedly cure the

00:54:47.100 world of violence and

00:54:47.980 war, but that it's a

00:54:49.040 good idea for her to 1.00

00:54:49.840 make this claim while

00:54:51.640 the world is in the

00:54:52.240 midst of violence and

00:54:53.180 war.

00:54:55.340 And it's for that

00:54:56.180 reason, it's for the

00:54:56.900 narcissism that

00:54:57.560 ultimately we must say

00:54:58.500 the same thing I would

00:55:01.540 say to Anna McCord

00:55:03.220 if I was her mother.

00:55:04.600 You're canceled.

00:55:06.220 And we'll leave it

00:55:06.840 there for today.
