Today on the Matt Wall Show, as we learn more about the sexuality camps for children that
00:00:04.420
have proliferated across the country, apparently footage surfaces of Pete Buttigieg's husband at
00:00:08.740
a gay camp recently leading kids in a pledge of allegiance to the pride flag. So we'll discuss
00:00:13.540
that. Plus, the House passes a massive spending bill with all kinds of goodies for left-wing
00:00:17.820
causes and also for Ukraine, while Americans get the short shrift once again. And the head of CPAC
00:00:24.120
admits that he personally cut the pro-life panel from the conservative conference this year.
00:00:28.200
We'll listen to his reasoning and see if we find it convincing. And a black man punches and kills
00:00:32.600
a white man for saying the N-word, and he was sentenced to house arrest for it. Finally,
00:00:36.620
in our daily cancellation, we'll assess the claims made by a married couple who claim that they have
00:00:40.340
never argued one time in 30 years of marriage. Where's the fun in that, I ask? We'll talk about
00:00:45.320
all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show. Well, you know, the pro-life movement has to
00:00:57.820
maintain its momentum now more than ever. And what better way to help than by supporting the
00:01:02.780
charities and causes that you care about? Even if the Supreme Court were to strike down
00:01:06.520
Roe v. Wade, abortion will still exist in America and many states across the country.
00:01:10.580
And that's why we still have to stay focused on this issue always.

00:02:20.140
I've told before where the Spanish conquistador landed in Mexico in the early 1500s and proceeded
00:02:25.860
to, you know, topple the mighty Aztec Empire with only his small gang of soldiers and the Indian allies
00:02:31.920
that he made along the way. Now, as the story goes, early upon their arrival, some of Cortez's men were
00:02:37.380
restless and antsy and afraid, as you might expect, and not fully committed to the task. So Cortez, wanting
00:02:45.320
to take away any temptation or the ability to flee, he made the decision to scuttle his own ships.
00:02:51.760
He intentionally sank the boats that he came in, effectively stranding himself and his men in this
00:02:56.540
unknown land because the message was clear. There's no going back. There's nowhere to run. This is where
00:03:01.620
we are. We're out here in this hostile wilderness. So you might as well prepare to fight. It's the only
00:03:06.780
choice you have. So you got to just commit to it. Cortez was totally outnumbered. He was in a place he
00:03:11.520
didn't know, controlled by a violent enemy, an enemy which preferred to capture you alive
00:03:17.140
rather than kill you in battle so that they could take you up their temple and cut out your heart
00:03:23.380
and sacrifice you to their war gods. Cortez had put himself in a position where now he would either
00:03:28.980
have victory or he would have his part cut out. There was no third option. So full commitment was
00:03:34.600
the only way forward. I think about the story a lot because I find striking parallels between Cortez's
00:03:38.720
situation and our own in our culture today. Now, we as conservatives, obviously, we're not facing
00:03:44.120
the prospect of having our hearts cut out of our chest. Not yet anyway. But we do confront an enemy
00:03:50.520
who engages in its own form of human sacrifice and is much more efficient and prolific in that regard
00:03:56.720
than the Aztecs ever were. But mainly, though, it's that if you're not an adherent to the leftist
00:04:02.700
religion, no matter how else you identify yourself, no matter what political label you claim for
00:04:07.900
yourself, if you're not an adherent to the leftist religion, then you are living in a totally hostile
00:04:12.340
environment. You are living in an empire ruled by forces that hate you. You have no institutional
00:04:18.440
power. You also have no way out. There's nowhere else to go. So you might as well commit fully to
00:04:23.900
the fight. I think the situation was made even clearer over the past few weeks as we've watched
00:04:28.040
what's happened in response to the Florida anti-groomer bill, which we've discussed extensively on this
00:04:33.260
show. Because, by the way, it's one of the most important things happening for Americans right now.
00:04:38.700
I know everyone's focused on Ukraine, but this is an important thing happening for Americans in America
00:04:42.880
if you care about your own country. The bill would merely prevent the sexual indoctrination of children
00:04:49.160
in grades three and younger. It would, as you know, prohibit teachers from teaching six-year-olds
00:04:54.500
about sexual orientation and transgenderism and so on. Things that no decent person wants teachers to
00:05:00.540
talk to little kids about anyway. But as we've covered, the left controls the flow of information
00:05:05.940
in this country so much that they've been able to rebrand this bill with absurd falsehoods and
00:05:11.220
fabrications, pretending that it outlaws the word gay from schools and even from the entire state.
00:05:17.080
Yesterday, Jen Psaki was asked to weigh in, or rather, you know, she was asked to speak for the White
00:05:22.920
House, as she does. What does the White House think of all of this? And, of course, she echoed
00:05:28.140
the familiar narrative. Let's listen. I think that you have seen the president speak passionately
00:05:33.460
about his view that a bill like this, a bill that would discriminate against families, against kids,
00:05:41.840
put these kids in a position of not getting the support they need at a time where that's exactly
00:05:48.620
what they need, is discriminatory. It's a form of bullying. It is horrific. I mean,
00:05:55.020
the president has spoken to that. In terms of his views and comments from 25 years ago,
00:06:00.040
I think the most important question now is why are Florida leaders deciding they need to
00:06:04.580
discriminate against kids who are members of the LGBTQI community? What prompts them to do that?
00:06:10.120
Is it meanness? Is it wanting to make kids have more difficult times in school and their communities?
00:06:15.400
I would pose that question to them, and we can talk about it more tomorrow if you get an answer.
00:06:19.380
So kids are bullied, she says, by not being sexualized and groomed. It is horrific, she says,
00:06:27.220
to not talk to little boys and girls about their sexual orientation. That horrifies her. The idea of
00:06:32.720
not talking to six-year-olds about their sexuality is horrifying. It is discriminatory to refrain from
00:06:40.260
having sexually inappropriate conversations with small children. That's the position the White House
00:06:44.140
has taken. But there are institutions far more powerful in our culture today than the White
00:06:49.920
House. Institutions like Disney, for example, which is why the saga surrounding Disney as it pertains to
00:06:55.100
this bill has been so revealing. Now, as we know, Disney at first took no position on the anti-groomer
00:07:01.200
bill. They didn't talk about it at all. They didn't say anything. But then after a few days of pressure
00:07:05.000
from the left, the CEO sent out a memo to his staff, which we read on this show a couple days ago,
00:07:09.440
reaffirming his commitment to and deep admiration of the LGBT community. But that wasn't good enough
00:07:15.920
either. So then in the latest development, after another 24 hours of outrage directed his way,
00:07:20.740
finally, Disney CEO Bob Chapek caved all the way. And as CNN reports, Disney CEO was criticized
00:07:28.960
money for speaking out about but not directly condemning Florida's controversial don't say gay bill,
00:07:34.740
with some feeling that Disney's statement fell short. On Wednesday, Chapek agreed with the
00:07:40.100
criticism. Quote, I understand our original approach, no matter how well intended, didn't
00:07:44.760
quite get the job done. He said during the company's annual shareholders meeting, Chapek
00:07:48.720
took a stronger stance against the bill Wednesday, telling shareholders that he called Florida
00:07:53.680
Governor Ron DeSantis Wednesday morning to convey the company's disappointment and concern.
00:07:59.420
Chapek said that if the legislation becomes law, it, quote,
00:08:01.680
could be used to unfairly target gay, lesbian, non-binary, and transgender kids and families.
00:08:08.440
Well, you can't really target non-binary and transgender kids because that doesn't exist
00:08:15.040
in reality. The governor heard our concerns and agreed to meet with me and LGBTQ plus members of
00:08:20.480
our senior team in Florida to discuss ways to address them. Then he also claimed that he'd been
00:08:24.880
working behind the scenes to fight against this bill. Now, if it concerns you that the company which
00:08:29.940
produces so much children's entertainment in our country has now come out so forcefully in favor of
00:08:35.920
sexually grooming children, well, that means you're paying attention. And also, if you're paying
00:08:40.140
attention, you've noticed how the left wields the power to bring even the most powerful corporations
00:08:47.240
in the entire country under its thumb. So think about this. The left made up, out of thin air,
00:08:54.520
a completely fictional story about a law that outlaws the word gay. Completely fictional. And
00:09:01.720
they managed to get that story told by every major news outlet and by the White House and now by the
00:09:08.880
biggest media company in the entire world. This is the power they wield. Now, they gain this power by
00:09:14.660
claiming each successive generation as their own. And they do that by reaching each successive generation
00:09:20.840
early and often. So we talk all the time about the situation in schools. Only this week, we started
00:09:26.900
focusing on the proliferation of these weird cultish summer camps where children are subjected to
00:09:32.900
even more intense barrage of often sexual indoctrination. Yesterday, we heard about the
00:09:38.300
sexy summer camps, quote unquote, for kids were a group of LGBT witches. That's how they identify
00:09:44.620
themselves. Teach about the wonders of masturbation and do it yourself abortions. Today, there's this report
00:09:50.620
in the Daily Wire. It says, a sex education summer camp for children in grades 3 to 5, so this is a
00:09:56.080
different one, okay, will include a condom demonstration in grades 3 to 5, among other camp
00:10:04.160
activities. The sex ed summer camp for students as young as 7 is scheduled to get rolling this June in
00:10:09.580
northern Indianapolis. The camp is set to run June 6th to 10th, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at a barbecue joint in the
00:10:16.880
city. Quote, at this age, kids are primed for level-headed learning. They are information
00:10:22.720
gatherers. There is no shame or ickiness associated with using band-aids, and that same philosophy is
00:10:28.180
applied to condoms and other barriers in this body-positive curriculum, according to the flyer.
00:10:33.540
In addition, the kids will not be separated by gender when learning about puberty, bodies, and sex
00:10:38.440
because, quote, gender is a spectrum, and everyone needs to learn about all bodies, according to the
00:10:43.460
flyer. So this will be, in the middle of Indianapolis, condom demonstrations for 7-year-olds
00:10:51.300
that parents will choose to send their kids to. And if that wasn't bad enough, also today, last but
00:10:59.700
certainly not least creepy, we have this video, first posted by Log Cabin Republicans of Richmond,
00:11:05.520
posted disapprovingly, I should mention, which shows a guy named Chasen Buttigieg, who is Pete's
00:11:13.380
husband, leading children at a gay camp in a pledge to the gay rainbow. See for yourself.
00:11:20.180
All right. I pledge my heart. I pledge my heart. To the rainbow. To the rainbow. Of the not-so-typical
00:11:28.700
gay camp. Of the not-so-typical gay camp. One camp. One camp. Full of pride. Full of pride. Indivisible. Indivisible.
00:11:37.020
With affirmation and equal rights for all. With affirmation and equal rights for all.
00:11:43.180
Now those were young kids in there. That doesn't tell you exactly what ages they were, but you're
00:11:51.040
looking at middle school, at least, you know, up and probably into high school. That was a gay
00:11:57.500
camp for kids in Iowa. Now, I can remember when I was a kid, their camps were pretty common. Kids
00:12:05.980
would go to summer camps. I went to a few camps myself. But back in those days, back in the dark
00:12:10.640
ages, you know, you'd go to camp and you'd learn how to camp. You know, there'd be, like, tents. You'd
00:12:17.120
learn outdoor skills. You'd learn how to make a fire. Maybe for older kids, there'd be, like, rather
00:12:22.400
for younger kids, a camp would involve arts and crafts. You'd play games. You'd do archery, those
00:12:27.140
sorts of things. That's what camp was. Now we have sexuality camps for kids. And by the way, there's
00:12:33.180
there's no corollary for this, for heterosexual kids. So it's not, it's, you know, what you hear
00:12:40.680
from the left is, oh, you'd be fine if this was a, if these were straight kids. No, a heterosexuality
00:12:46.940
camp for kids, I would not be in favor of either. Any kind of sexuality camp for kids is grooming,
00:12:55.540
is creepy and disgusting. Now that footage that you saw there comes from the Amazon Prime documentary
00:13:01.920
about Buttigieg's, Buttigieg's campaign for presidents called Mayor Pete. So they proudly
00:13:08.060
filmed this and they put it in the documentary. And it's been on Amazon for months. And the funny
00:13:14.420
thing is nobody noticed it until now because nobody watched the documentary. And then finally
00:13:18.740
someone had, like, one person watched it and saw this. This is early on in the documentary,
00:13:23.100
was horrified by it, put it on, put it online, and then it went viral. By the way, right after
00:13:28.480
the groomer, Chasen, led children in a pledge to the pride flag, organizers at the camp had the
00:13:35.500
kids make drag taters. If you're wondering what that is, those are potatoes dressed up like drag
00:13:41.480
queens. So now I did say that when I was, when I went to camp, when I was a little kid, we did things
00:13:49.000
like arts and crafts. So that's arts and crafts too, just with a little bit of a different flavor to it.
00:13:54.760
Yet somehow, even though this clip has gone viral and people are disgusted, the real point gets
00:14:00.600
lost. The blasphemous pledge that they're doing there to the pride flag, you know, that's bad.
00:14:07.580
That's what people are focusing on. But the worst thing is that kids are at a sexuality camp in the
00:14:12.540
first place. Once we've accepted and tolerated the existence of literal grooming camps for kids,
00:14:20.120
all the rest of this follows automatically. In fact, a pledge to a pride flag is about the
00:14:27.280
tamest thing you could hope to see in this context. At least Chasen wasn't giving the kids condom
00:14:34.200
demonstrations, though maybe they saved that for when the cameras were off. I don't know.
00:14:38.700
Still, the pledge is quite significant because this is how they want the kids to see themselves and to
00:14:44.000
see the world. They want kids from the youngest ages to define themselves by their sexuality
00:14:48.660
and to have loyalty first and foremost and exclusively to their victim group, their sort of
00:14:54.520
sexual tribe. Of course, young kids don't really have a sexuality at all, which means that the first
00:15:01.260
task is to rob them of their innocence and of their childhood so that they can be molded and exploited.
00:15:08.780
This process plays out in schools and in media and in Hollywood, and they even have whole camps set
00:15:13.220
aside now for that purpose. They do all of this out in the open. They film it and put it on Amazon.
00:15:19.440
They're proud of it because this is their culture. This is their society, for better or worse, and it is
00:15:25.520
only for the worse. This is what we face, what our kids face, pure evil. We might as well fight it
00:15:33.300
with all we have, go all in, because there's no other choice. Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:15:43.220

00:15:50.740
Indian food or whatever it happens to be, then you've got to check out Relief Band. Relief Band is

00:17:01.060
This is from Breitbart. House Democrats passed a $1.5 trillion omnibus spending bill after hours
00:17:07.020
of delay and Democrat confusion. What else is new? House Democrats passed the $1.5 trillion
00:17:12.200
omnibus spending bill, which was separated into two votes. The first half focusing on security
00:17:17.080
funding passed with 361 votes for and 69 votes against. Second half featuring the remainder of
00:17:22.540
the spending passed with 260 votes for and 171 against. Some of the highlights or lowlights
00:17:30.000
lowlights for this. It says a Republican study committee messaging document obtained by
00:17:34.920
Breitbart News found that the bill has many issues, including, quote, the bill would spend over $100
00:17:39.820
billion on Green New Deal initiatives and advance racial justice through Department of Agriculture
00:17:45.800
programs. We're advancing racial justice through the Department of Agriculture because everything
00:17:54.780
that is under the left's control must be used to advance their ideological agenda. Nothing can just
00:18:02.820
be what it is. Nothing exists for its own sake. The Department of Agriculture is not going to be
00:18:08.500
focused on agriculture. It's going to be focused on all of the left-wing priorities, which have nothing
00:18:12.240
to do with agriculture. The bill also contains $100 million for environmental justice activities at the
00:18:17.700
Environmental Protection Agency, and $75 million for low or zero emission vehicles. $26 billion in food stamp
00:18:25.880
funding. This is the first spending bill to include earmarks. No protections from Chinese espionage in
00:18:33.960
grants to the National Science Foundation. Increases National Institute of Health funding by 10 percent
00:18:39.740
and provides $66 million for the racial and ethnic approaches to community health or reach, an increase of
00:18:47.380
$8 million from last year. Now, you would never know, looking at a spending bill like this, that
00:18:53.500
we're like $30 trillion in debt because there's no concern for that at all. Just keep spending the
00:18:59.600
money. Now, we should also note that the Democrats tried to ram this through as quickly as they could
00:19:07.320
because it's only $1.5 trillion. It's only $1.5 trillion that we're spending.
00:19:14.880
So, no reason to spend any time thinking about this. Hundreds of pages. Of course, nobody read it.
00:19:22.180
And they were trying to ram it through, get it done as quickly as possible because the Democrats
00:19:26.120
wanted to go and, in fact, right now are at a retreat in Philadelphia at the Ritz-Carlton,
00:19:35.480
what they call their Issues Conference. And that's a three-day retreat at the Ritz-Carlton,
00:19:40.300
Philadelphia, where, you know, supposedly they get together and talk about the issues,
00:19:45.600
but really it's just a great vacation for them. So, in the middle of all these crises that we're
00:19:50.760
facing in America and in the world, and as Americans can no longer afford to put gas in
00:19:57.280
their car to go to work and all these other problems, Democrats are taking off for the rest
00:20:01.740
of the week to go to the Ritz-Carlton. Now, unfortunately for them, there was some tragedy
00:20:07.820
last night because, really, their conference was supposed to start last night and on Wednesday.
00:20:14.700
And one of the first things they were going to have when they got there was they were going to
00:20:17.940
have a drag performance. The drag queen was going to show up and they were going to, you know,
00:20:21.400
watch a drag show. And unfortunately, they were not able to get there in time to watch the drag show.
00:20:26.160
Maybe they'll reschedule that. I don't know. But this is, you know, I think people on the right
00:20:32.740
will say, oh, this is how out of touch they are. They're so out of touch, the Democrats,
00:20:37.540
that in the middle of all this, inflation, you know, gas prices, they're going to go to the
00:20:43.340
Ritz-Carlton and watch a drag show. And the common talking point from the right is that,
00:20:52.260
oh, they're out of touch and this is why they're doing that.
00:20:54.260
I don't think they're out of touch at all, in fact. They're very in touch. They're very aware
00:20:59.660
of the fact that they can do this. They can get away with it. I mean, out of touch would be that
00:21:05.000
they're blissfully unaware. They don't even realize how it comes off. No, they know. They just, number
00:21:11.260
one, they don't care. They don't care how you feel about it. They don't care what's happening with
00:21:16.380
you. And they know that there's no one to hold them accountable. Media is not going to do it.
00:21:21.660
In fact, having the drag performer there only gives them more covered cover from the media.
00:21:30.440
That actually makes it more acceptable for the media because, hey, if you complain about it,
00:21:34.960
then what are you, you're homophobic. So that's what they're doing now. Also,
00:21:39.260
there was $13 billion for Ukraine in the bill. So, and that's not the only foreign aid, but we're
00:21:45.120
going to be shipping $13 billion off to help Ukraine, help secure Ukraine's border, our border
00:21:50.920
and not so much. All right. Let's go here. We go down to Florida where a man named Corey Pujols
00:21:58.080
has just been given some very good news. Despite punching an elderly man in the face and killing
00:22:03.960
him, Corey will not be going to prison. He's getting house arrest and probation. House arrest and
00:22:11.580
probation for Pujols for his victim, the morgue. So let's back up and give some context here. NBC
00:22:17.080
reports. It says a Florida Dunkin' Donuts employee was sentenced to two years on house arrest after
00:22:22.980
he pleaded guilty to fatally punching a customer who used a racial slur. Corey Pujols, 27, was initially
00:22:30.200
charged with aggravated manslaughter after he punched a 77-year-old man in the jaw following
00:22:36.180
altercation. In May, he pleaded not guilty, but agreed to change his plea for the lesser charge of
00:22:41.220
felony battery. The incident began when the customer identified by the Associated Press as Vanell Cook
00:22:46.060
became upset over the lack of service he was receiving. He was apparently in the drive-thru
00:22:51.240
line and the service was pretty slow, as frankly, it tends to be at Dunkin' Donuts.
00:22:57.300
And, you know, they should take some customer service classes from Chick-fil-A. Like you,
00:23:01.580
Chick-fil-A, you could get in the Chick-fil-A line. This is not really the point at all, but I'll just say,
00:23:06.700
Chick-fil-A, you get in the line and there's 30 cars in front of you and you get in that line and
00:23:10.560
then you could look over the parking lot and there's Dunkin' Donuts and there's three cars in
00:23:15.960
line. And the person who's three cars back will be in that line longer than you are, 30 cars back
00:23:21.500
in the Chick-fil-A line. So he wasn't getting any service to the Dunkin' Donuts. He was upset about
00:23:25.440
that. He went inside. And then NBC continues, police said Cook and Pujols started arguing and that
00:23:33.340
Cook called the Dunkin' Donuts employee, who was black, a racial slur. A criminal report
00:23:38.280
affidavit states that the customer called him the N-word and then he told Cook not to repeat it.
00:23:44.860
And he did repeat it. And then Corey jumped over the counter and punched him in the jaw.
00:23:49.720
Cook was knocked unconscious and fell, hitting his head on the floor and had a skull fracture and
00:23:55.500
contusions on the brain. And then he died three days later. Now, so this is an interesting case
00:24:01.840
for me because the victim, Vanell Cook, is, or was rather, by all indications, a total scumbag.
00:24:09.700
And we do have to acknowledge that. Not only was he berating a minimum wage customer service worker
00:24:15.340
and calling him racial slurs because he was upset about the service being too slow, but he was also,
00:24:20.200
according to the reports I've read, a sex offender and a pedophile. It's probably telling that
00:24:27.020
apparently nobody from Cook's family, 77 years old, nobody from his family showed up to the
00:24:32.540
sentencing. Nobody showed up in the family and, you know, protested the fact that such a light
00:24:39.120
sentence. Now, I'm personally not at all sad that a pedophile is dead. What's more, even leaving aside
00:24:47.820
the pedophile bit, if you start screaming in another man's face and insulting him, and I don't
00:24:54.960
care what words you use, you start screaming in another guy's face and insulting him, you deserve
00:24:59.840
to get punched. That's my feeling. You deserve it. If you're in a physical state where a punch to the
00:25:06.220
head might kill you, then watch your mouth is probably the best way to go. So I don't see someone
00:25:13.760
as a victim. You start getting in someone's face and screaming at them, and they give you a chance
00:25:17.680
to stop, and you don't. And they even warn you they're going to punch you in the face, and you
00:25:22.220
keep going, and then you get punched. You're the victim. You know, I don't really see it that way.
00:25:26.620
You really brought that upon yourself. I actually, and I also don't think that hitting someone is
00:25:31.120
automatically worse than insulting them. Now, I think we have this, it's sort of this effeminate
00:25:35.620
view that people have, this really feminine view that people have, that the worst possible thing you
00:25:40.720
could ever do is, physical violence is always the worst thing. No, I don't think that's worse than
00:25:45.980
going up to a guy's face and, you know, verbally spitting, spitting in his face, or actually spitting
00:25:52.280
in his face. So that's the way I feel. That's my personal view. And yet my personal views on these
00:25:59.240
subjects aren't reflected by the law, not necessarily, nor should they be, perhaps, at least
00:26:05.900
until I'm a theocratic fascist dictator. Like, I personally think that if you get in a guy's face
00:26:12.420
and start insulting him, and you get punched, that's on you. You had that coming. But that's not
00:26:18.480
what the law says. And probably I'll admit that the law can't really, that's not a precedent you
00:26:23.220
can actually set, or you probably want to set. So then you think that really what happened here is
00:26:31.160
a guy was killed for saying a bad word. Do we want to set a precedent that allows that?
00:26:38.500
I mean, Corey, the Dunkin' Donuts employee, he didn't know that Cook was a pedophile, as far as I
00:26:43.540
know. So that didn't, that didn't factor into this. He also didn't hit him for screaming and
00:26:49.480
screaming at him and berating him generally. He hit him specifically for saying the N-word.
00:26:53.620
And now he gets house arrest. So is the precedent that people who say this one magical word
00:27:01.740
can be killed? The judge, in explaining the sentencing, specifically mentioned this. He
00:27:08.000
mentioned a few things. He mentioned how, well, he didn't mean, you know, this was not an intentional
00:27:11.980
homicide. He wasn't trying to kill him. He punched him one time. And that's true. You know, that does
00:27:16.800
factor into, it's not premeditated murder, so that's going to factor into sentencing. But he also
00:27:20.800
mentions the severity of the horrible word that was used. Like, that's because of that specific
00:27:27.500
word, that's one of the reasons why he's not going to go to prison. Is that the precedent now?
00:27:34.540
That if someone says this word to you, and you're a certain skin color, and they have a certain skin
00:27:39.820
color, then you can kill them. That's certainly the feeling of people on social media who are
00:27:44.640
celebrating this. To them, even leaving aside, pedophile leaving all that aside,
00:27:50.800
Cook deserved to die, not because he was a pedophile or anything else, but because he said
00:27:55.260
that word. You know? And the court seemed to have vindicated this position.
00:28:03.520
Which, to me, seems rather troubling. And you worry about the precedent there.
00:28:09.020
Also, I think we could say this completely destroys the idea of any anti-black systemic racism in the
00:28:15.260
court system. I mean, this was a black guy who killed a white guy for saying a word and isn't even
00:28:22.000
getting no prison time for it. If our court systems are systemically racist in an anti-black way,
00:28:30.320
then you would think it wouldn't work out that way. So, interesting case there, though.
00:28:35.020
All right. Let's move to this. Not to pile on, but we talked about Matt Schlapp in the daily
00:28:42.540
cancellation yesterday. He's the guy who runs CPAC. He runs the American Conservative Union, which
00:28:47.460
itself runs CPAC, which, of course, is the largest conservative conference, conservative gathering
00:28:53.620
in the country every year. And what we talked about yesterday is he sent out a tweet basically in support
00:28:59.480
of Leah Thomas, the trans swimmer who's invading women's sports, women's swimming, and stealing all
00:29:04.240
these medals and also exposing himself in the locker room to women. He put out a tweet in support
00:29:10.060
calling for compassion for Leah Thomas and also referring to Leah Thomas as a her. He's trying to
00:29:17.560
backpedal from that. He issued some statements and trying to back away from it. Well, since this
00:29:22.260
conversation has started now about Matt Schlapp and about CPAC and everything else, there's another
00:29:27.280
video that has now gone viral. This is Matt Schlapp very recently at the last CPAC, which just
00:29:34.220
a couple of weeks ago. And he's explaining in this interview with someone there, why CPAC didn't
00:29:41.600
have any pro-life panels or speeches this year. Now think about this for a second. This is CPAC,
00:29:47.580
supposed to be a conservative conference. The pro-life movement is one of the foundational
00:29:53.280
aspects of the conservative movement, generally speaking. At least that's the way I see it.
00:29:58.940
And there's a chance that Roe v. Wade is overturned this year. So in a year when the pro-life movement
00:30:07.340
is making all this progress, Roe v. Wade might be overturned and you have CPAC and you don't even
00:30:12.240
talk about the pro-life movement at all through three days? There's no time to talk about it?
00:30:18.200
Well, Match Lab was asked about that. And here's the reasoning that he gave. Tell me if you find
00:30:25.660
this convincing. You and Mercy have a very strong pro-life record. And some of the folks that have
00:30:31.400
come to CPAC were concerned that it might not have as much of a strong pro-life message, particularly
00:30:36.220
in a year where Roe v. Wade could be overturned. I wonder if you could speak to that. Yeah. You know,
00:30:40.480
we always say every year we should have a pro-life panel. And I broke that. I was like,
00:30:44.900
I don't want a pro-life panel. And they're like, why? I was like, because I think everything's pro-life
00:30:48.460
that we talk about. Everything should be life affirming. And we've tried to take that spirit
00:30:53.740
in what we talk about with so many issues. Now, we'll have speakers that are for abortion and for
00:31:00.960
legal abortion. And we have people here with disagreements on almost every major issue.
00:31:06.120
That used to be a problem for us. And my belief is that should not be a problem. If you agree with
00:31:11.480
this movement on a couple of things, like if you just think taxes should be cut or
00:31:15.040
the government should do less, we want you a part of this coalition. You might not check every box
00:31:20.160
that a conservative would normally check. You should feel welcome to come here. There's a lot
00:31:25.440
of non-Republicans here. There's a lot of non-Conservatives here. There's a lot of people
00:31:29.160
who just are here because they love Trump. There's a lot of different reasons why people are here.
00:31:33.420
Some people are simply here because they hate socialism. And they're still trying to figure out
00:31:37.760
their views. And I think we should welcome them with open arms. But on the pro-life question,
00:31:42.600
I think that's foundational to having a society that can proceed and be welcoming and grow. By the
00:31:51.780
way, population has a lot to do with economic growth. And so I just think it's imbued in throughout
00:31:59.080
the conference. Well, I don't think there's any good reason that the head of CPAC could have given
00:32:05.820
for personally cutting the pro-life panel. There's not any good reason. So there's nothing
00:32:12.160
he could have said that would, that I would listen, that I would hear and say, well, okay,
00:32:16.760
I understand that. So acknowledging that ahead of time, even so, that's about as bad as it gets.
00:32:25.280
Like that's all of the, all of the bad, out of all the bad reasons you could give for cutting the
00:32:29.880
pro-life panels and pro-life speeches from CPAC, those reasons were the worst. And so really it's
00:32:36.060
two things, right? He's got two reasons why there's no pro-life at CPAC. One is everything is pro-life
00:32:42.920
that we talk about, he claims. And also we want to be a big tent and we want to, you know, appeal to
00:32:49.080
lots of people. And, you know, if there's, if someone is for lower taxes, but they're not pro-life,
00:32:54.620
we want them in a tent as well. So let me address both of these. First of all, that's, it's just not
00:32:59.820
true that everything is pro-life. This is something, this is why it's really troubling to hear from the
00:33:04.800
guy who runs CPAC, because this is exactly what people on the left try to do. They want to expand
00:33:11.000
pro-life and make it so general and vague that it's, that it's, you know, meaningless. It doesn't
00:33:16.520
mean anything. So even they, as people who are in favor of abortion, in fact, you hear this
00:33:21.600
from, from some Democrats who are fully in favor of abortion at every stage, but would still say,
00:33:28.440
oh, I'm pro-life, even though I'm in favor of killing babies. And then they, this is something
00:33:36.000
that they flip around and try to use against people on the right. And they say, oh, well,
00:33:41.200
you say you're pro-life, but you're not in favor of spending more on entitlements, or you're not in
00:33:47.620
favor of a student loan forgiveness. You know, if you're pro-life, then you should also hold all
00:33:52.860
of these other views because all of this also is, is part of the pro-life cause I've decided.
00:33:59.220
They want to expand it, make it general, make it vague. So it doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:34:02.920
I mean, if everything is pro-life, then nothing is pro-life, but it's not true that everything is
00:34:09.280
pro-life. The pro-life movement is very specifically focused on the issue of abortion.
00:34:15.200
abortion. Now it's true that the reason why we're opposed to abortion is that we believe that
00:34:23.180
human life is sacred and we believe that it is always wrong to intentionally destroy innocent
00:34:29.600
human life. That's our position. That's why we're, that's why we're pro-life. That's why we're against
00:34:33.100
abortion. And yeah, we, so we need to take that position and apply it consistently. Sure. So all that
00:34:39.720
means is that if we're saying it's always wrong to intentionally destroy innocent human life,
00:34:43.800
then we should be against intentionally destroying innocent human life, human life in any context,
00:34:48.540
which we as pro-lifers are, there's, there's no context where we're okay with intentionally
00:34:53.120
destroying innocent human life, but that is the pro-life ethic that that's the pro-life position.
00:35:01.860
There is only one area in American life right now where it is actually legal to intentionally destroy
00:35:11.440
innocent human life. And that is in the womb. And that's why that is, that's the fight. That's
00:35:15.580
what we're focused on. So if you're not talking about abortion and why abortion is wrong, then you're
00:35:21.700
not talking about the pro-life issue. This is a, this is a way of evading the issue by again, making it
00:35:30.720
general and making it vague. And this idea of a, of the big tent. So we want to bring people in,
00:35:38.040
you know, if you're, if you're, if you're in favor of lower taxes, but you're not,
00:35:41.480
but you like abortion and we want to have you in the tent. Well, if our tent is that big,
00:35:47.260
then there is no tent. Okay. Then the tent doesn't exist anymore. There is no movement. If our movement
00:35:54.680
is that big, then what, what is the movement? Where, where are we headed exactly? The thing about
00:35:59.680
a movement is that you're, you need to be headed in a certain direction. Like you're moving, right?
00:36:04.780
Now, at least among the left, they, they know which way they're moving. They know where they're
00:36:08.420
trying to get. They know what their objectives are. And that's why they're so successful. One of the
00:36:14.040
reasons why they're so successful in the culture is because they stay on message. They know what they
00:36:18.380
want. They know where they're going. And that's why they have success. The problem we have
00:36:24.620
among conservatives is that like, nobody has any idea what we would call it a movement,
00:36:29.260
but where are we going exactly? Why are we doing, why are we going there? What, what,
00:36:32.520
why does any of this matter? What is the sort of overarching, what are our overarching or underlying
00:36:38.480
principles and values? Here's, here's what I'll say. You know, someone who is in favor of a lower,
00:36:46.200
if you're, if you are in favor of lower taxes, but you're pro-abortion, then I have nothing
00:36:52.380
meaningful in common with you. We're not in the same movement. So you like paying less in taxes.
00:36:57.020
Great. I mean, so do I, but that's, that's surface level. You can't have a meaningful and powerful
00:37:06.280
movement grounded in that. Hey, we're all, we're all a bunch of people who like us having less of
00:37:11.520
our money taken away. Sure. Okay. I'll tell you this. I have a lot more in common and Allie,
00:37:18.380
Beth Stuckey put this out on Twitter and I agree with you said, you know, I've, I have more in
00:37:21.600
common with a pro-life socialist than I do with a pro-abortion capitalist. And I think that summarizes
00:37:28.220
it perfectly. It's exactly how I feel. I'm not in favor of socialism, but capitalism is not my
00:37:37.040
religion. It is, that's not the banner that I'm marching under. That's not what I'm charging into
00:37:42.920
battle for fighting for capitalism. I like capitalism. And I think it's better than any
00:37:48.060
other options on offer. But what I care about is protecting human life, protecting children.
00:37:54.620
And so if you're with me on that, then as far as I'm concerned, we're on the same side.
00:37:58.420
All right. Here's more Republicans embarrassing themselves. Representative Maria Salazar of Florida
00:38:06.600
was caught outside the Capitol yesterday. And she was asked about her support for a no-fly zone
00:38:12.880
in Russia, which is something that you started, you have a no-fly zone. That means you're going to war.
00:38:20.400
If we are enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukraine, then we are going to war with Russia. The people who are
00:38:27.560
advocating for this, do they even realize that? You would hope that our elected representatives
00:38:31.820
would understand that, but it doesn't appear that they do. Let's listen to what this representative
00:38:35.860
said. And do you support a no-fly zone in Ukraine? I support everything that has to do with
00:38:43.720
punishing Vladimir Putin and helping the Ukrainians. Wouldn't that mean direct conventional warfare with
00:38:49.360
Russia? I don't know what it will mean, but you know, freedom is not free. So you don't know what
00:38:53.520
a no-fly zone will mean. If you have to shoot down Russian planes, I mean. Of course. So conventional
00:38:59.500
war with Russia. Listen, thank you. These are the morons that we have running the country and also
00:39:09.420
leading the Republican Party. Oh, sure. Let's, uh, freedom isn't free. You're talking about if we did
00:39:18.020
what you want to do, Maria, then we would be getting involved in a, um, in a global war. You're
00:39:25.420
talking about starting world war three, which is what happens when you start shooting down Russian
00:39:30.020
jets. Um, and your justification for doing that is that freedom isn't free. Okay. Your justification
00:39:40.380
is like a song lyric. You might as well start. How about, do you have a haiku? You have a poem you
00:39:46.060
also want to read to us? Her, her justification is a bumper sticker based on a bumper sticker slogan.
00:39:54.080
She's going to send us into world war three and that's stupid and it's incompetent, but it's also
00:40:01.640
evil. Okay. Because she's, despite how it may appear, these people are actually not, well, they're
00:40:08.980
pretty stupid, but they're not as stupid as they seem. She, she obviously knows what, what a world war
00:40:15.640
it would entail. She knows that she knows that it would involve lots of Americans dying and she
00:40:21.540
just doesn't care about that. Certainly doesn't care about it enough. All right. I want to mention
00:40:26.100
this also quickly from the New York post. It says keeping up with the Kardashians doesn't come cheap.
00:40:31.200
The world's most famous families headed to Hulu with their new reality series, the Kardashians
00:40:35.900
premiering on April 14th. If you want to watch it. And according to the cover story in today's issue
00:40:40.720
Variety, the streaming platform ponied up a rumored nine figure deal for the, uh, for the Kardashian
00:40:46.800
clan, which parted ways with the E! Network in September, 2020, uh, made sure our Kris Jenner
00:40:51.860
says, well, money always matters. I think that anybody would be foolish to say that money doesn't
00:40:56.960
matter anymore. Hey, uh, Matt Schlapp, Kris Jenner, she can invite her to CPAC, right? She's a capitalist.
00:41:02.740
So we're on the same, she's part of the tent now, Kris Jenner. Let's give Kris Jenner a leading
00:41:09.480
speaking slot at CPAC next year. So she could talk about why money matters, which I agree with her.
00:41:15.600
It does, but I, that's, that's all I have in common with Kris Jenner is just that we both agree that
00:41:20.320
sure money matters. I like making money. We can agree on that. The only reason I bring this up is
00:41:25.060
that, um, I just think it's, it's funny because this conflict between Kim Kardashian and Kanye West,
00:41:31.320
and Kanye is very upset that Kim Kardashian is running around with Pete Davidson and everything
00:41:34.780
else. And we keep hearing that, uh, that Kim Kardashian is a, she's a, she's a victim because
00:41:40.420
she just, all she wants is privacy. And Kanye West keeps putting her private life out there and it's
00:41:47.460
not fair. And she's a, she's a victim. She's being harassed. I think this underscores the point. I mean,
00:41:53.640
Kim Kardashian wants privacy. This woman does everything she possibly can to get her
00:42:00.840
private life out and viewed by the public. I don't, I don't think she really has at this point
00:42:06.700
a private life or an interior life of any kind. I don't think she's capable of it.
00:42:12.820
Um, she, she can only, she, she needs the cameras on her all the time. It is a need.
00:42:18.720
And yet this person wants privacy. Also, by the way, can I just say, not that I care that much about
00:42:24.040
the celebrity gossip, but I, as, as I followed it very kind of, uh, off on, on the, on the edges
00:42:31.500
and the outrage at Kanye West, because he's upset about Pete Davidson. And I guess he, he put out a
00:42:39.200
music video recently where there's a, he, he depicts himself in cartoon form, burying Pete
00:42:45.900
Davidson alive. And people were really upset about that. And by the way, if you're upset about that,
00:42:50.100
then, you know, don't, once again, don't listen to any Eminem songs from 20 years ago. You know,
00:42:54.780
he's literally killing his ways, his one entire song where he murders his wife, uh, in the song.
00:43:00.260
But, but either way, it's actually, yes, you shouldn't make songs about killing people and
00:43:06.440
depict yourself in cartoon form, burying them alive. I think we can agree with that, but it's not all
00:43:11.940
that strange for a man to be very, very upset and angry that his wife left him and is parading
00:43:18.380
around town with another man. It's actually pretty normal. So there are a lot of crazy
00:43:23.840
things about Kanye West. This is actually one of the most normal things. He's really upset and
00:43:31.220
whatever he's trying to embarrass her, making physical threats against the guy that she's
00:43:35.600
shacking up with. That's all pretty normal. Actually, this is maybe the most normal Kanye
00:43:39.620
West has ever been. That's as far as I'll go in defending Kanye West, because by the way,
00:43:45.200
he is also parading around town with his own, uh, new woman. So he's not exactly a victim here,
00:43:50.260
but I feel like I should mention that. Let's get to our comment section.
00:44:01.600
All right, let's go right to, um, the video comments. I think we actually have a couple.
00:44:07.540
I'm feeling optimistic this time. Let's go to clip seven.
00:44:10.540
Hey, Matt Walsh. Look at what my husband got me for my birthday.
00:44:19.520
That's amazing. See, that is what we need in the video comment section. And that is someone
00:44:23.360
committed. That is a license plate. So now you can get a, if you haven't thought of it,
00:44:27.820
you get a custom sweet baby gang license plate. She has SBG forever on her license plate. That is
00:44:34.460
amazing. Uh, I just have to, I have to applaud you for that. You are not certainly not banned from the
00:44:38.560
show. You know, I give you a place of great honor and distinction now. Um, that's, that's incredible.
00:44:45.620
And this really sets the bar, I think actually for the sweet baby gang, how committed are you
00:44:50.840
actually? Do you have the license plate? As far as I know also, by the way, no one's gotten a tattoo
00:44:56.140
yet with sweet baby gang. I, I hesitate to bring that up. Although I just did, because now I feel like
00:45:03.040
someone's actually going to do it, but that's how I know you're really committed. How about right across
00:45:07.520
the forehead? And if you do that, don't blame me. I'm not advocating it. I'm not advocating anyone
00:45:13.080
do it. I'm just saying that no one has done it yet. And so it makes me wonder how committed
00:45:17.340
the gang really is. All right. We got a, one more video to play. This is clip eight.
00:45:23.460
Hey man, to make the video comment section a little more serious, I would like to ask you this question.
00:45:30.560
What do you think of the moon landing that allegedly happened in 1969? Do you think it was real or do you
00:45:38.680
think it was fake? Frankly, um, I used to think it was real and I used to make fun of people who, uh, doubt it,
00:45:48.180
but I've seen enough evidence that it was fake. And, uh, for those listening, uh, I can direct them
00:45:57.420
to a Facebook group called the moon landing hoax. There's a ton of evidence, scientific and otherwise
00:46:04.600
that it was fake, but I would love to hear from you, Matt. And it's kind of related to the, um,
00:46:11.840
space subject and aliens that you are, you know, uh, a fan of. So I would like to pick up your mind,
00:46:19.620
uh, tell me what you think. Was it real or do you think it was fake? And SPG for life?
00:46:25.780
Um, well, I would love to hear. So you're in a Facebook group that says the moon landing was fake
00:46:30.480
and there's a lot of evidence. And this is the, the, the interesting thing I've noticed about people
00:46:34.800
who support the moon landing conspiracy is that they always tell me about the evidence, but they don't
00:46:40.960
really tell me what the evidence is. So I always hear, I hear about this evidence, this mythological
00:46:45.540
evidence. I mean, what I, I hear great things about the evidence. I've just never really heard
00:46:49.500
what the evidence actually is. Um, no, I don't, I don't think the moon landing was fake at all. I
00:46:54.100
think this is just, it's, it's so many reasons. I, how can I even go through all this? Um, uh, well,
00:47:02.120
okay, here's one piece of evidence that I have heard. Um, and this just shows you, I think this is a
00:47:06.680
representative sample of the evidence and it shows you how weak this claim is. And that is that, uh,
00:47:12.080
if you look at some of the footage, it looks like the, the flag is moving, um, like it's blowing in
00:47:18.520
the wind, but, but Hey, there's no wind on the moon, you know? So, and of course it, it, it turns out
00:47:26.880
that like when you put the flag in, it causes, it causes a motion, which will make the flag move a
00:47:31.500
little bit and there's no atmosphere. So the movement will last longer, but, but also this,
00:47:36.880
all, all of the evidence that you're marshalling, whatever it is, it presupposes that our government
00:47:44.540
hatched this conspiracy theory or rather hatched this conspiracy and this plot and they executed
00:47:51.300
it and they fooled the entire world. And yet they left these really obvious breadcrumbs out there.
00:47:58.020
Like what they didn't know that there was no wind on the moon or all the stuff about the shadows and
00:48:03.540
Oh, look, look at how the shadows, there's perfectly logical explanations for all that. But, but again,
00:48:08.040
it, it presupposes that the people who were able to execute this plot still were not able to outsmart
00:48:16.660
like people on Reddit. And I just find that to be totally absurd. Um, also, you know, it would also
00:48:25.200
require not only that the entire government is in on it and like all NASA and all the astronauts and
00:48:33.240
all of them have been lying this entire time and they've all kept quiet. Like none of them have ever
00:48:38.200
come out and said anything otherwise. So you're looking at, um, this cooperation across many
00:48:43.800
government agencies. You think about how vast this conspiracy would have to be. It's not just a couple
00:48:49.460
of people. It's not just, it's not just the actual people who went to the moon who would have to be
00:48:53.480
the liars. Okay. Um, but it's hundreds of people, if not thousands across multiple government agencies
00:49:01.600
are all on the same page to execute this plot. And they have, and they have stayed disciplined
00:49:08.880
through across decades. Look, if you know anything about our government and how it works,
00:49:15.740
you know, how ridiculous that is. These people can't do anything. They can't, they cannot cooperate
00:49:22.880
to achieve anything. It just to change a light bulb in the Capitol building. It takes 57 different
00:49:29.900
people and it costs $600 million just to do it. So you think that they could fake a moon landing
00:49:34.940
and fool the entire world. And not only that, but other world governments are also in on it
00:49:40.380
because they would know by now. I mean, we've got Russia would know that we faked it. Why haven't
00:49:47.680
they come out and exposed it? This is something that could easily be exposed now with all the
00:49:52.400
technology that we have and the satellites and telescopes are, they could easily expose it. No,
00:49:56.480
they were never here. So it's a conspiracy among the entire government and other world governments
00:50:03.380
for some reason have decided to stay mum about this and not tell anything, not tell anybody it's,
00:50:07.840
it's, and there's just no reason. Like it's an interesting Hollywood plot line. You know,
00:50:16.440
it's an interest, it's a, it's a fun story to tell. And maybe you could write a book or something
00:50:21.200
like a fictional, you know, fictionalized history, um, where the moon landing is fake,
00:50:26.940
but there's no reason to, there's a lot of reasons to think that it's not fake, including some of the
00:50:31.620
ones I just said. There's no real good reason to assume that it was. Um, all right, let's see. And,
00:50:38.560
and also one other thing, why haven't we faked? Like, why did we stop faking? You know, why haven't
00:50:44.080
we faked, uh, why didn't we fake them on the Mars landing? That's the only, if you're going to fake,
00:50:48.340
uh, an expedition to outer space, why are you faking landing on the, uh, a rock, a big glorified rock
00:50:56.360
orbiting the earth? Why did, why didn't we fake the Mars landing next?
00:51:01.200
You know, it seems like we went to the moon and there, there were, there were, there were multiple
00:51:08.000
expeditions to the moon, but we haven't gone back in decades and we haven't really done much.
00:51:12.220
And that is actually how you expect the government to work. It has a major success,
00:51:17.460
very rare successes followed by decades of failure and, um, you know, just kind of treading water that,
00:51:27.540
that actually is what you expect from the government. All right. Let's see a couple of,
00:51:32.400
uh, written comments here. Indie man says sexual abusers always tell their victims to,
00:51:36.060
to never tell anyone, especially their parents or, or it will hurt them or bring shame to them or
00:51:41.020
whatever works. Um, this don't tell the parents thing is beyond dangerous. Yeah. This is why we say
00:51:47.160
that there are groomers and predators, because this is, as you point out, exactly what sexual predators
00:51:53.060
do. This is exactly how they operate. It's the first thing that they do is that they
00:51:57.040
make sure they condition. That's what the grooming is. They're conditioning their victims and they're
00:52:01.080
making sure the victims are not going to talk to parents or any other authority figure.
00:52:05.060
And that's what's happening here. And as I said, it's out in the open.
00:52:10.180
Jamie M says, well, the anti-lynching bill is basically saying, are you willing to stop lynching
00:52:15.040
black people? It's a yes or no question. It's obviously virtue signaling, but I mean, how do you vote
00:52:18.840
against this? Um, right, exactly. That's, that's the game they're playing or, or it's like the classic
00:52:24.180
from when I was in school, the one you can't do anymore. But when I was in school, it was the,
00:52:28.240
does your mom know you're gay? You know, a yes or no question. There's no way you can answer without
00:52:31.860
affirming the proposition. Um, and that's what they're doing here. That's the, that's the spot
00:52:37.040
they're trying to put Republicans in is, is basically that that's actually why the bill was
00:52:40.760
there is trying to coax Republicans into voting against it. And yet I'm sitting here saying, I think
00:52:45.400
they should have voted against it. And I do think that because when you start playing the game
00:52:50.260
and you start dancing to their tune, it never ends. And so if instead the Republicans in a unified
00:52:56.800
way had come out and said, no, what they're doing here isn't it's, it is a waste of time. It's
00:53:01.700
pointless. It's virtue signaling. It's actually grotesque the way that they're using racism and
00:53:07.720
lynching and all this stuff as, as, as a political, uh, cudgel, as a prop, as a pawn. How about coming
00:53:14.400
out and explaining that rather than going along with this thing that, you know, is totally absurd.
00:53:20.740
And finally Zimmer handcraft says Matt is so close to saying taxation is theft. I love it.
00:53:26.300
Well, um, I would not say that across the board only because no one has really explained to me
00:53:34.520
how you can have a government without some form of taxation. And if you're saying, well, let's not
00:53:42.580
have a government. No one's explained to me how you can have a civilized society without some form
00:53:46.620
of government. So in order to have a civilized society, you need some form of government or to have
00:53:50.000
some form of government, you need it to be funded. And so you need some form of taxation,
00:53:53.320
uh, which is why I wouldn't say taxation is theft in general, but there are many forms of taxation
00:53:57.860
that are. And I do think that the income tax is theft, especially the way the income tax works now,
00:54:04.320
where they go in and take your money before you get your hands on it. Yeah, that I do think.
00:54:10.460
Tonight's the night. It's the premiere of our next big hit, the Hyperions. The pre-show begins at
00:54:15.240
8 30 PM Eastern to make, so you got to make sure that you head to daily wire YouTube channel and
00:54:19.900
you set a reminder to catch the live streaming. You're not going to regret it. Um, this movie has
00:54:24.600
no political agenda. It's not woke. It's all about entertainment. And you can clearly see that
00:54:29.060
in the trailer. Check it out. My name is Vista Mandelbaum.
00:54:43.140
My brother and I have taken four hostages. Everybody against the wall. We've come for one
00:54:48.400
thing. Our Titan badges. Is this real? Yes, ma'am. This is real. It's my sign in this. Well, I want that
00:54:56.460
you. It's the police. They want to talk to whoever's in charge. This Titan badge can grant an individual
00:55:04.860
superhuman power. Perhaps it's time for someone else to take on the responsibility. Meet Apollo.
00:55:17.420
I'd recommend next time using your power. Yeah, if you think so. Calling all Hyperions.
00:55:23.420
On my way. You're making such a mess in here. We've got a Hyperion en route. Not a good time to
00:55:31.820
look stupid. Shots fired! God, come on, give me my gun! Suit up for adventure.
00:55:53.340
Next question. How's the family? The family is, um, uh, gosh, what is it? Marvelous.
00:56:01.180
Well, the Hyperions is a family film with some throwback vibes and it's 100% worth the stream.
00:56:19.420
We're going to be streaming it again tonight at 8 30 p.m. Eastern for all of YouTube to see this. The
00:56:23.420

00:56:39.680
amazing content for you, we're excited to announce that this weekend Ben Shapiro is hosting a new
00:56:44.200
interview on the Sunday special with Bill Maher. You know, that's going to be a great conversation.
00:56:47.660
This is without a doubt one of the most fascinating conversations, um, that we've, that there's,
00:56:52.360
they've had on the Sunday special. We've had a lot of great conversations. Um, it's free from censorship,
00:56:56.760
of course, and full of interesting opinions and it's available early to dailywire members
00:57:01.120
starting Saturday morning. So get ready for an entire weekend of amazing content only at the
00:57:06.860
dailywire. Now let's get to our daily cancellation. Today for our daily cancellation, we turn to a
00:57:14.820
married couple in Virginia, Hannah and Blair Keeley, who are getting some media attention because of
00:57:19.800
their claim that they have never once in 30 years of marriage argued or raised their voices with one
00:57:24.440
another, never once, never done it. Now they, for some reason, released a joint statement to Fox
00:57:29.480
News digital, where they made this claim and also imparted seven tips so that you also can have a
00:57:34.240
perfect relationship. Now I do kind of like the idea of releasing joint statements to the press
00:57:38.800
with random facts about your marriage. Like my wife and I, um, could release a joint statement and
00:57:44.600
hold a press conference about the fact that we have never once through our entire marriage owned a
00:57:48.600
microwave. That's true. So maybe we released a joint statement. Who wants to know or cares is the other
00:57:54.540
question. Anyway, right up front and assessing the legitimacy of this claim and also the credibility
00:57:59.220
of the people making it, there are a few strikes for them and against them. Now here's something in
00:58:04.220
their favor. They've been married for 30 years and they have seven grown children. Now, if you want to
00:58:10.060
claim to be a relationship expert, you're not even in the running unless you're married, obviously,
00:58:14.880
and have remained married to the same person. But to get to expert status, you have to at least
00:58:19.900
have, I think, three decades onto your belt. So they're just over the line there. And you have
00:58:23.660
to have raised children. Yeah, I, I, sorry, I don't want to hear any relationship advice from
00:58:27.960
childless people because it's a different ball game. Once you have kids on the scene, these people have
00:58:33.100
seven. As far as I know, all of their kids are currently not in prison. None of them are serial
00:58:37.000
killers as far as I know. So, uh, the Keeleys did something right. All that is to their credit.
00:58:41.340
There are some red flags though. In the article, Hannah is described as a master life coach and her
00:58:47.560
husband is in marketing. So you see the combination here, life coach, marketing, sending this out,
00:58:52.320
claiming they'd never had any arguments. You know, maybe there's something there. Um, actually
00:58:56.300
on her LinkedIn bio, Hannah describes herself as America's number one mom coach and founder of
00:59:01.480
mom mastery university. It's also, she's a reality TV host. Now I'm not sure who America's number two
00:59:07.020
and number three mom coaches are or how these things are ranked or if number two and number
00:59:11.880
three know that they're number two and number three and would agree with that. I have no idea.
00:59:14.720
Um, now no doubt there are some wise people in this world who give great advice. Okay.
00:59:22.860
You're looking at one of them, but when a person goes into the business of being a wise person who
00:59:28.320
gives great advice and aggressively markets themselves as such, you begin to become a little bit
00:59:33.000
skeptical because the first thing any wise person knows is that you should not go around claiming
00:59:39.100
that you are wise. Socrates could have told you that the whole concept of life coaching,
00:59:43.240
I think is a bit absurd for this reason. And also because there's no requirements, right? In order
00:59:48.200
to be a life coach, anyone can wake up one day. You could have an overweight, out of shape, unemployed,
00:59:54.900
alcoholic could wake up one day and say, you know what? I'm a life coach now and I'm an expert in life
01:00:00.540
and they can just start coaching you on how to live. So I find that dubious, but we could put
01:00:06.700
aside most of that and look at what the Keeleys are actually saying about marriage. Most of the tips
01:00:12.460
they give are pretty good. Um, pretty obvious and kind of cliched, but they're valid. Nonetheless,
01:00:17.060
tips like share your feelings and expectations and challenge each other to grow. Now these tips are
01:00:24.380
not actually necessary. I mean, you don't need to tell a woman to share her feelings. There's no reason
01:00:28.580
to write that down. No, no woman, no, no wife is going to read that and say, you know what? I should
01:00:33.260
share my, I never thought to share my feelings with my husband. Um, that's, you know, wife, wives
01:00:37.580
generally don't do anything but share their feelings. Um, so, but that's, that's all fair. Some tips are
01:00:42.480
bad. They offer the classic never go to bed angry thing. In the explanation, we're told Hannah and
01:00:48.020
Blair Keeley insist it's important for couples not to go to bed angry. That's because nighttime is when
01:00:52.060
humans often encode their cognitive experiences from earlier in the day. Um, in the couple's own words,
01:00:57.860
anger towards your spouse can easily turn into a belief. If you don't manage the thought prior to
01:01:02.040
bedtime, how do we do this? They continue to always affirm the love you have for that person. Even if
01:01:06.320
there's no resolution, the ultimate conflict resolution is making the decision, the conscious
01:01:10.180
decision to love. And the problem here is that anger is an emotion. You can't simply turn off and
01:01:16.040
on like a light switch all the time. So if you're buying into this ridiculous idea that you should never
01:01:20.960
allow yourself to fall asleep while you're angry at your spouse, all that means is that, is that
01:01:26.020
you're going to force yourself to stay awake and your spouse to stay awake while you continue to
01:01:30.520
hash out your issue, uh, until you aren't angry anymore. But it's pretty rare that people get less
01:01:36.760
angry and arguments get less tense. The later it gets sleep deprivation tends to fuel anger and
01:01:44.400
irritation, not cure it. Okay. So in fact, many times the best thing you could possibly do when you're
01:01:50.280
angry is go to bed. That's actually the best thing. Um, like 99% of the, of the arguments that
01:01:58.580
you've ever had at night, you would have been better off just going to bed and you wake up the next
01:02:02.860
morning now with some rest and a little bit of time. And a lot of times you see that what you were
01:02:07.420
angry about was kind of unimportant and silly. Um, I have gone to bed angry at my wife before. I've
01:02:12.340
never woken up angry at her though. So that's the point. But even if I ever did, that's okay because
01:02:19.060
anger is not the worst thing in the world. Arguments are not the worst thing. And this
01:02:24.400
ultimately is my problem with this life coaching duo. They probably know more, more about marriage
01:02:28.700
than I do. I'll accept that. But I am familiar with being a human being. And I know, um, what I
01:02:33.860
know about being a human being is that anger and conflict comes in the bargain. So they present never
01:02:38.960
arguing as an ideal, you know, something to strive for, but, but is it, let's think about that.
01:02:44.760
How could you actually manage to go decades without ever so much as arguing with your spouse
01:02:51.460
or, or with anyone that you spend that much time with? One way is to be, if you're both perfect,
01:02:56.940
like Christ himself, um, assuming that's not the case here, then we're left with other options.
01:03:02.420
Another is to be emotionless robots or lobotomy patients. If not that, you know, if you aren't
01:03:08.220
perfect and if you have emotions and you aren't Siamese twins joined at the brain who think and feel
01:03:14.180
exactly the same all the time, then the only other way to totally avoid arguing is to suppress your
01:03:19.220
anger. When you feel it, you'd have to always 100% of the time, keep the lid on, tamp down any anger
01:03:24.360
that you feel and funnel everything through the use of I statements and other therapist approved
01:03:29.900
conflict resolution strategies. Now, if you do this always, all the time, you may never argue,
01:03:35.520
but is that really ideal? Should we be presenting arguments in a marriage, like an objectively bad
01:03:41.080
thing to be avoided at all costs? Does the fact that you've never argued, if that's true,
01:03:45.900
make you more of an expert and give you more credibility or less? Now, I admit that maybe
01:03:52.720
I'm biased here because my wife and I are both a couple of stubborn sons of guns and we both can
01:03:57.140
be argumentative by nature and neither of us probably would have wanted to marry someone who is at all
01:04:02.220
times meek and mild and avoids conflict. That just sounds boring, frankly. But my bias aside,
01:04:06.680
it seems to me that an argument is simply when two people have diverging ideas about something and
01:04:12.400
they both are insisting on their own point of view. That's an argument. And it's not bad. There's
01:04:18.040
nothing necessarily bad about that. This is another feminine, just like the idea that I mentioned
01:04:24.160
before, two men are in an argument and the worst thing that could ever happen is any kind of physical
01:04:28.720
altercation. Well, there's also this idea that the arguments themselves are always bad things.
01:04:33.820
Arguments happen when people are asserting contradictory viewpoints. Now, there are bad
01:04:39.660
ways to assert your point of view. If you're screaming and cussing, that's bad. Obviously,
01:04:44.120
in a marriage between a man and a woman, if this is an argument between men and women,
01:04:48.960
if you're getting physical, that's always bad. Also, if you constantly feel the need to assert your view
01:04:53.880
about every little thing, then all you're going to do is argue and that's bad. But if you never
01:04:59.720
assert your view, if you never plant your foot on the ground and say, no, this is how I think we
01:05:04.660
should go about this and I'm insisting we do it this way, if you never ever do that, well, then
01:05:09.860
your conflict avoidance becomes dishonesty. Your spouse won't know who you really are, what you
01:05:14.680
actually think, what you actually feel, because you're always conforming yourself immediately to
01:05:20.080
whatever the other person wants or feels. I hardly see that as ideal. Now, the point isn't to avoid
01:05:26.280
arguing, but rather to argue well, I think. I don't mean argue well as in knowing how to destroy
01:05:32.300
your spouse with facts and logic, though you should be able to do that. And I have done that to my wife
01:05:36.460
before, whether she realizes it or not. But what I mean is arguing in a healthy way, which means
01:05:42.340
keeping things in perspective, not blowing every little conflict out of proportion. It means staying
01:05:47.660
on topic, never saying anything that starts with, oh, yeah, remember the time when you... It means letting
01:05:53.340
the other person actually say their piece, and it means allowing the argument to end.
01:05:57.760
So once you've said what you need to say, and they've said what they need to say, let it end.
01:06:02.100
Go to bed. Like, leave the room. Whatever. Arguments can be healthy, but the unhealthy ones have time
01:06:08.440
limits. Every healthy argument can turn unhealthy if it drags on too long. Marital spats are like,
01:06:13.660
you know, gremlins. Don't feed them after midnight. Don't keep it going past a certain point.
01:06:19.540
Say what you need to say, listen to what the other person is saying, and then move on.
01:06:22.580
That's a healthy argument. Such things do exist. They're even, I would say, an important part of
01:06:27.600
your marriage. And that's why I'm not going to cancel Achilles themselves, because they seem
01:06:32.220
like nice people. But the idea that they're proposing here is what I'm going to cancel
01:06:36.580
today. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.
