The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 910 - Leftist Media Accuses Me Of 'Harassing' Groomers

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the organizers of a sex camp for children are now allegedly in hiding

00:00:04.540 because of, quote, right-wing harassment from the likes of Ben Shapiro and yours truly and others. 0.88

00:00:09.760 According to the media, just because you hold masturbation workshops for kids 0.98

00:00:12.860 doesn't mean you can't be a victim too. Also, speaking of victims, fake victims anyway, 0.97

00:00:16.960 Jussie Smollett is released from jail proving that few people are more privileged in this 0.93

00:00:21.040 culture than someone who is gay, black, rich, and famous. Also, a children's hospital gives

00:00:25.580 advice on tucking for kids. Now, if you don't know what that is, you're going to find out today and

00:00:30.220 probably hate me for telling you. And a popular new song worships Ukrainian President Zelensky as a

00:00:35.100 Christ figure who has come to save the world. What's the problem with this kind of over-the-top

00:00:39.480 adulation of a political figure during wartime or any time? We'll talk about all that and more today

00:00:43.860 on the Matt Wall Show.

00:02:12.100 the media and the Democrats were quick to hail her as a highly qualified, irreproachable candidate who

00:02:17.060 should be immediately confirmed because there's nothing to ask her or find out about her other

00:02:21.180 than the fact that she is simply wonderful in every way. Now, as expected, some Republicans joined

00:02:26.100 in this chorus as well, celebrating Jackson for her stellar resume, even though the most important

00:02:30.880 thing on her resume, as far as Biden was concerned, was her gender and her skin color. All in all, 0.83

00:02:36.180 the consensus from DC seemed to be that this nominee is perfect, unassailable, and there's nothing else

00:02:42.120 to see here, folks. Well, it turns out there was a little bit more to see. At least Senator Josh

00:02:47.040 Hawley decided to buck the trend and do a bit of homework on Kentonji Brown Jackson. What he discovered

00:02:52.420 was quite disturbing, disturbing especially because it's part of a larger trend. Now, in a series of tweets

00:02:57.760 last night, Hawley revealed, quote, Judge Jackson has a pattern of letting child porn offenders off

00:03:02.420 the hook for their appalling crimes, both as a judge and as a policymaker. She's been advocating for

00:03:07.240 it since law school. This goes beyond soft on crime. I'm concerned that this is a record that

00:03:11.360 endangers our children. As far back as her time in law school, Judge Jackson has questioned making

00:03:15.420 convicts register as sex offenders, saying it leads to stigmatization and ostracism. She suggested

00:03:21.240 public policy is driven by a climate of fear, hatred, and revenge against sex offenders. Now, I will say for the

00:03:27.520 record, taking a pause here for a moment, that I actually agree that we should get rid of the

00:03:32.740 sex offender registry, but that's only because anybody dangerous enough to be on the registry

00:03:37.860 should still be in prison. The registry only exists because the courts are releasing predators and

00:03:43.540 pedophiles into our communities who they, the courts, know are a danger to the public. So, rather than

00:03:50.520 writing their names on a list and putting another little red dot on a map, these people should just be

00:03:56.020 kept in their cages to begin with. And then we don't have to worry about it. It's absurd that

00:04:01.240 the legal system would actually label somebody a high-risk sex offender and then proceed to send

00:04:06.520 them into our neighborhoods. They could put a stamp on someone saying, high-risk sex offender. Okay,

00:04:12.560 you can go now. Get rid of the sex offender registry by extending prison sentences. That's my position.

00:04:20.540 Though Jackson wants to get rid of it for much the opposite reason. Now, back to Holly. It says,

00:04:26.920 Judge Jackson has also questioned sending dangerous sex offenders to civil commitment.

00:04:31.360 We have a civil commitment law in Missouri, and it protects children. It gets worse. As a member of

00:04:35.260 the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson advocated for drastic changes in how the law treats

00:04:39.980 sex offenders by eliminating the existing mandatory minimum sentences for child porn. Judge Jackson has

00:04:45.140 said that some people who possess child porn are in this for either the collection or the people who

00:04:51.140 are loners and find status in their participation in the community. What community would that be?

00:04:56.320 The community of child exploiters? Judge Jackson has opined that there may be a type of, quote,

00:05:00.700 less serious child pornography offender whose motivation is not sexual, but, quote,

00:05:05.160 is the challenge or to use the technology. A, quote, less serious child porn offender? In her time on

00:05:11.920 the U.S. Sentencing Commission, Judge Jackson said that she, quote, mistakenly assumed that child

00:05:16.240 pornography offenders are pedophiles, and she wanted to, quote, understand this category of

00:05:20.700 non-pedophiles who obtain child pornography. Non-pedophiles who obtain child pornography.

00:05:30.580 That's like, what, non-drunk drivers who happen to be driving while intoxicated.

00:05:36.220 Holly continues on for many other more tweets, revealing many more sordid details about this

00:05:42.180 highly qualified judge, but I think you get the idea. She believes that some people caught with

00:05:48.640 child porn aren't even pedophiles, and they might just be collectors. What, no different from someone

00:05:55.580 who collects baseball cards or stamps, maybe? Her reference to pedophiles as a community is

00:06:01.880 extremely disturbing because this is the classic thing. This is the classic move by people who

00:06:07.220 wish to normalize or excuse any sort of deviant behavior. It always begins by turning the deviants

00:06:13.420 into a community. That's always the first step. They're a community. A bunch of individual predators

00:06:20.660 and perverts, you know, they can be condemned. But a community, well, you can't say anything bad about

00:06:26.720 a community. You know, the people that nobody has any interest in excusing or validating or legitimizing,

00:06:34.100 we don't talk about them as communities. Like, nobody talks about the serial killer community. No one

00:06:39.100 says that, even though there are multiple serial killers in the world, but we don't talk about them

00:06:43.400 as a community. The word community is used when there is an effort to validate and generate sympathy.

00:06:51.420 That's the idea. And this, again, is part of a larger trend. As we've seen, there are many groomers

00:06:57.740 and predators on the left and many more who say that we should have sympathy for these kinds of

00:07:01.900 people. Speaking of which, you may remember last week when we discussed the, quote, sexy summer camp

00:07:06.800 for children hosted by a group of disgusting perverts in Kentucky. As uncovered by Chris Ruffeau, 0.98

00:07:12.340 the camp, meant for people of all ages, including kids, has lessons on sex liberation,

00:07:17.700 gender exploration, BDSM, being a sex worker, self-managed abortions, and sexual activity while

00:07:24.740 using licit and illicit drugs. The itinerary for the camp shows that the very first workshop on the

00:07:30.140 first day is a lesson on self-pleasure, which includes a, quote, hands-on masturbation demonstration. 0.73

00:07:38.140 One of the women who hosted the camp has been an outspoken advocate for childhood masturbation for 0.98

00:07:42.320 years. You probably remember the video that we played last week where she talks about this,

00:07:46.780 but if you didn't watch last week, and maybe you don't remember, unfortunately, I'm going to have

00:07:50.900 to play it again, and here it is. You know, like, get down with yourself, explore your own body.

00:07:56.780 Masturbation is really healthy, and I recommend it to people of all ages. All ages. As soon as my

00:08:03.580 nephews could talk, they were doing that. That's what they were doing. Kids touch themselves. Kids start

00:08:09.420 to ask questions, and we teach them the language for their bodies, right? That's your nose. Touch your nose. 0.96

00:08:15.780 Show Aunt T. You can touch your nose. But my sister's not saying that when they're tugging at their penis, 1.00

00:08:20.980 right? But it feels good, right? We have to learn ways to talk to young people about this so that 1.00

00:08:26.860 they know how to explore their body consensually so that it's not in public, right? We don't want

00:08:31.980 people exploring their bodies in public. That's not consensual. But exploring your body at any age,

00:08:38.320 grandmas, grandpas, all of us.

00:08:44.980 You know, we see a lot there. One of the things we see, part of this, is this female privilege. 1.00

00:08:52.780 Because I tell you something, if that was just a dude talking about, you know, as like an uncle, 0.94

00:09:00.060 talking about how he likes to talk to his nieces and nephews about masturbating, there would be 0.99

00:09:10.040 universal agreement that this guy is a pedophile, a predator, and needs to be put in prison and kept 1.00

00:09:15.880 away from kids. Now, there should obviously be universal agreement on this too. But there isn't. 0.96

00:09:22.280 You know, there's agreement really just on one side of the aisle. As I discovered when I called

00:09:30.040 this out on my show, and so did many people on the right to include Ben Shapiro, some Fox hosts like

00:09:34.660 Laura Ingram, lo and behold, turns out, and as I saw last night, that we as the critics of the sex

00:09:40.780 camp for kids have become the bad guys. And the groomers giving masturbation demonstrations to 0.98

00:09:48.920 children, they're the helpless victims. The feminist website Jezebel published this report 0.94

00:09:53.400 with the headline, a group of sex ed teachers are afraid for their lives amid right-wing harassment

00:09:58.640 campaign. Now, I should note that I found out about this article because I was tagged in a post

00:10:03.420 by the Catholics for Choice page on Twitter linking to this article with their caption, which said,

00:10:08.600 this is horrifying and sadly more and more common as right-wing extremists continue to feel more and

00:10:14.040 more emboldened to target others with their vitriolic hatred. Shame on Laura Ingram, 1.00

00:10:18.920 Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, and everyone else bullying these teachers. Now, it's no surprise

00:10:23.600 that the heretics who call themselves Catholic while whoring themselves out for the abortion 0.98

00:10:27.300 industry would take the side of groomers. That doesn't surprise me at all. As for the article,

00:10:32.800 it says, quote, a group of sex education teachers in Appalachia are afraid for their lives, so much so

00:10:37.660 that they're having to hide in safe houses after Christopher Ruffo, the right-wing activist credited by

00:10:43.060 The New Yorker for effectively, quote, inventing the conflict surrounding critical race theory,

00:10:47.440 has now set his sights on exposing their program. Since the thread was published,

00:10:52.120 the program was featured on the Ingram Angle, was called out in an advertisement for a populist

00:10:56.260 conservative think tank, and has attracted the attention of a slew of well-known conservatives

00:10:59.380 like Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh. Now, program staffers have been doxed on Twitter with a user

00:11:04.460 on social media likening them to witches, predators, and pedophiles, and calling for their arrest.

00:11:10.440 The online attacks have become so prevalent that they've recently been forced to seek refuge at a

00:11:14.500 safe house. A source close to the women told Jezebel, and an allied local pro-abortion

00:11:19.360 organization has also created a spreadsheet to track threats of violence and death against the

00:11:24.640 staff. By the way, why do you think the abortion, you got Catholics for Choice, a pro-abortion

00:11:30.780 organization, why are they so invested in this? Do you think about that? Why are they so invested

00:11:35.400 in sexualizing children? Why do they care? Planned Parenthood? The abortion industry is very invested

00:11:42.320 in this. Why is that? A part of it is that they hate kids. They despise children. They kill them. They

00:11:48.920 see children as just things to be exploited. But also because the more that they can encourage

00:11:59.140 sexual activity younger and younger, then the more customers they're going to have.

00:12:06.020 To clarify something else, some of these women, we're accused of calling them witches, but actually 1.00

00:12:10.820 these women call themselves witches. Now, I probably would have still called them witches because they 1.00

00:12:16.100 are, even if they didn't identify as such, but that's irrelevant. Now, back to the article. It says,

00:12:21.740 Since last Tuesday, Sexy Sex Ed, our educators and our funders have been flooded with hundreds of

00:12:32.180 threatening messages across all platforms, the group wrote in a statement on their website.

00:12:36.480 We recognize that the current misinformation attack against Sexy Sex Ed is part of a long-term,

00:12:40.760 highly funded and coordinated strategy of the right to maintain and entrench their power through media

00:12:45.780 and narrative control. Now, the statement from the sex camp workers is,

00:12:51.740 lengthy and calls me out by name along with Rufo and Ben Shapiro. I can't speak for those other two,

00:12:58.280 but I'm quite sure that they would join me in laughing hysterically at the very idea that we owe

00:13:04.380 these women an apology or any sort of sympathy at all. I also don't believe, by the way, that they got

00:13:11.180 the kind of threats that would require them to go to safe houses. I don't believe that. Okay. I just

00:13:15.740 don't believe it. I get threats all the time, much more than they do. And I've never fled to a

00:13:21.600 safe house because of them. Now, regardless, I don't condone threats or violence, but the general

00:13:27.240 anger directed at these predators is due entirely to their own actions. Nobody forced them to hold

00:13:35.700 masturbation and BDSM workshops for kids. They had to think of that in their own dark, twisted, 0.85

00:13:42.580 little, disgusting brains and make the choice to put their bizarre fantasies into practice. 0.98

00:13:49.320 What they didn't expect is that anybody outside of their community, their community, quote unquote, 1.00

00:13:55.840 of weirdo perverts would notice or hold them accountable. But this is what evil does. 0.87

00:14:02.940 When it's exposed, it shrinks away, securries off to the corner like cockroaches, plays the victim,

00:14:11.860 manipulates, woe is me. It's a dishonest game and a repulsive tactic. But it means we're pointing 0.77

00:14:20.400 the light exactly where it needs to be. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:25.560 Well, with the ever-increasing numbers of car makes and models, it's basically impossible to

00:14:36.820 stock all the parts you need in a traditional chain storefront. So that's why there's no reason

00:14:41.440 to go and just walk around aimlessly looking for the vehicle that you need. And then you have to go

00:14:46.680 and talk to the counterman and order the parts on his computer anyway. You have computers with

00:14:51.980 access to rockauto.com at home and in your pocket. Why would you choose to spend 30%, 50%, 100% more

00:14:57.580 for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or a new car dealership? There's no reason to do that.

00:15:02.020 Rockauto.com is a family business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.

00:15:06.140 You can go to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. They have

00:15:10.000 everything that you might need from engine control modules and brake parts. They've got motor oil,

00:15:14.020 new carpet, everything you could possibly need. The rockauto.com catalog is unique and remarkably easy

00:15:18.760 to navigate. Quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the brand specifications

00:15:22.980 and prices you prefer. Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are always reliably low and the same

00:15:28.160 for professionals and do-it-yourselfers. Go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available

00:15:32.100 for your car or truck and write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box so they know that we sent

00:15:37.040 you. All right. I also love the claim that we engaged in misinformation. We know that that word,

00:15:45.300 like so many other words, pretty much any word that the left commonly uses, the fact that they're

00:15:50.560 using it so often means that they've removed it of all meaning because they never use any words as

00:15:55.060 they're supposed to be used. So misinformation is one of those. And we're accused of a misinformation

00:16:00.140 campaign. Literally what Chris Ruffo did is he found their actual program and videos of them

00:16:07.340 speaking and said, here's what's happening. Here's their actual program from their sex camp for kids.

00:16:12.980 And it lists it all. A very, uh, you know, just right, right there. You can read it. This is

00:16:18.480 the first workshop, the second. And so for him to take that and say, look, everybody, here's this

00:16:26.840 thing, this thing that's happening, much of which they got from their own website, that that's

00:16:32.840 misinformation now. Right. Um, let's start with this from CNN. Jussie Smollett was released from jail

00:16:40.520 Wednesday night after an Illinois appeals court granted an emergency motion by his defense

00:16:44.760 attorney. Smollett's legal team is looking to delay his sentence and grant him bond until their appeal

00:16:49.260 of his conviction is decided on. The former empire actor was sentenced last week to 30 months of

00:16:53.560 felony probation, including 150 days in jail. Um, and, uh, including some restitution as well.

00:17:00.960 Quote, there's no room for politics in our court system. Defense attorney Nenya Uche said in a news 1.00

00:17:05.980 conference shortly after the actor's release, regardless of what you think about this case,

00:17:08.540 the real question is, should black men be walked into jail for a class four felony? 0.98

00:17:13.960 That's a disgrace. The attorney added. Um, and, uh, you get to the reason for this release. There 0.99

00:17:22.620 isn't, there wasn't much reason given, um, by the court for why they're releasing Jussie Smollett from

00:17:29.900 prison. We know the real reason, which we'll get to in a second. Um, as far as any reason,

00:17:35.580 what they, what they basically say is that, uh, well, the appeal is going to take a long time

00:17:39.820 and it's only 150 days in jail. So he'll, he'll, he's appealing the sentence. And by the time the

00:17:46.500 appeals decided the sentence will be over anyway. So we're just going to let him out of jail by that

00:17:51.120 logic. Well, I guess we're never going to send anybody to jail again for the six month sentences,

00:17:58.240 I guess are out the window now, because that's always going to be the case that if you appeal

00:18:02.100 it, uh, the appeal will take longer than the sentence. So is that what that means? We can't,

00:18:06.840 we can't send anybody to jail for that amount of time. This only further affirms what, what I said

00:18:14.540 immediately after the sentence was passed down. And there were people talking about, even people who

00:18:18.800 were happy that he was going to jail were saying, Oh, that's pretty harsh sentence. Uh, you know,

00:18:23.160 it, no, it should have been much more than that. He should have been looking at five, 10, 15 years

00:18:30.040 for all the reasons that we've talked about, given that he's, given that he's unrepentant,

00:18:35.980 um, given the just sociopathic nature of the, everything that went into the premeditation,

00:18:41.960 as I pointed out many times, the fact that he was, he was willing to let innocent people take the fall

00:18:48.340 for him. Um, all of that perjured himself on the stand, you know, was, was trying to inflame racial

00:18:56.960 tensions would have been fine. If there was a, if there was a riot in Chicago over this, he would

00:19:03.200 not only would have been fine with it. He was, he would have been happy about it. He probably was

00:19:05.920 upset that there was no riots. That's yet another thing that makes him a victim is that people

00:19:10.620 weren't writing over it. So you take all that consideration. You could easily justify the max prison

00:19:16.480 sentence, which would have been as the sentencing judge admitted 15 years and he should have gotten

00:19:20.340 all 15 years. And then at least they can't release him from jail on the excuse that the appeal will

00:19:27.720 take longer than the sentence. Uh, but now he's at a jail and his defense attorney says, well, should

00:19:34.520 we be, should we be marching? Should we, should we be walking black men into jail for class four 1.00

00:19:40.620 felonies? Let me answer that question for you. If I could, the answer is a yes. Why shouldn't we be 0.90

00:19:49.060 what, why shouldn't we be walking black men into jail for class four felonies? 1.00

00:19:56.440 But the law stipulates that you can go to jail for those kinds of crimes. 0.98

00:20:00.940 Now you notice the only thing that the defense attorney is worried about is black men. So white 0.98

00:20:05.260 men, we can march. Oh yeah. Well, they can go to jail, but black men, how dare we put black men 1.00

00:20:10.280 in jail? He's almost admitting just by saying that he's almost admitting what we all know to be true 0.99

00:20:20.640 anyway, that despite all the talk about white privilege and everything else, there is privilege

00:20:26.460 in this country. There's no question about it. There are people who are privileged in many different

00:20:31.860 ways. You know, there's the basic kind of privilege that comes with being wealthy and having a lot of

00:20:37.500 money and being famous. Justice Millett has all that. There's also the privilege that comes tied

00:20:42.760 to identity. There is racial privilege. There is identity-based privilege. And it's privilege that

00:20:48.960 you experience in the culture, in society, through social advantages, and you also experience it in the

00:20:56.460 courtroom. But we're not giving that privilege out to white people unless they can claim some other 0.93

00:21:04.480 privileged identity for them. Now, a white person who says he's gay or trans, sure, he'll get some 0.96

00:21:09.860 privilege. But the reality is that Jussie Smollett, as a black, gay, rich, famous person, is almost as 0.87

00:21:20.500 privileged as you can possibly get. And that's exactly how he's gotten away with all of this.

00:21:27.280 Got away with doing all of this and getting on the stand and perjuring himself, lying to the court

00:21:36.160 for hours on end, which the sentencing judge mentioned that and pretended to be upset about it.

00:21:46.760 That's almost as privileged as you could possibly get in our society today. The only thing that would

00:21:51.140 make Jussie Smollett more privileged is if he was trans. That's the one thing. That's the one 1.00

00:21:55.820 advantage. The one card he hasn't played yet. Yet. I mean, emphasis on yet.

00:22:03.800 And maybe my guess is that now that he's out of jail and all the legal problems are going to be put

00:22:10.300 behind him, you know, the next thing that he's going to want is he's going to want to get back

00:22:14.620 into Hollywood and start starring in films again. And I think he'll have no problem doing that.

00:22:22.120 But if he really wants to make sure that Hollywood embraces him and he can get his whole life back

00:22:28.180 and maybe even benefit from this in the end, then just come out as trans. So that's my guess in the

00:22:35.040 next couple of years, Jussie Smollett. Jussie Smollett will become Jessica Smollett in the next 0.99

00:22:41.300 couple of years. That is my, my, my guess. Maybe Jussie is already a gender neutral name,

00:22:47.380 so he doesn't need to change it. It's all, it's already all set up for him. Okay. This is from

00:22:50.640 the Daily Wire. It says, Dorn Becker Children's Hospital in Portland, which bills itself as Oregon's

00:22:55.820 top-ranked children's hospital, boasts a gender clinic, which offers advice for the safe tucking 1.00

00:23:02.660 of a boy's genitals out of the way, quote unquote, that can make, quote, the genital area look smoother

00:23:08.920 and flatter, as well as a referral to a, quote, sex positive shop in Portland. They sell gender

00:23:14.840 affirming clothes items, as well as sex toys, videos, and more. So there's a children's hospital

00:23:22.060 referring children to a sex shop while also giving them tips on tucking. What's that all about? Well,

00:23:29.880 the resource on safe tucking from the gender clinic states, quote, safe tucking. What is tucking?

00:23:36.060 Tucking is moving the penis testicles or both out of the way. This makes the genital area look 1.00

00:23:40.240 smoother and flatter. Tucking can reduce any concerns you have about your body, how your clothes fit, and

00:23:44.980 how safe you feel in public. People of all genders can tuck. There are several different methods of 1.00

00:23:49.700 tucking. The information below helps you tuck in ways that are safe for your body. According to the

00:23:55.560 hospital's website, it works in cooperation with the Oregon Health and Science University Transgender

00:24:00.820 Health Program, the OHSU logo is also emblazoned on the safe tucking handout. The handout cautions,

00:24:09.000 quote, a note on the words we use. This information uses the words penis, scrotum, and testicles. 0.99

00:24:14.600 We know you may not use those terms or identify with them. We use them here to refer to body parts 0.88

00:24:19.300 that people with tucking needs have. People with tucking needs. While understanding those words are not

00:24:25.580 for everyone. The resource advises, it is best to tuck for the first time when you're planning to be

00:24:30.620 at home. This keeps you from stressing about having to get it right the first time. It's also easier to

00:24:35.540 learn what your body needs to be comfortable when you tuck. Choose a method that feels comfortable to

00:24:40.120 you. And I just can't even keep reading this. Absolutely revolting. And this is a children's hospital.

00:24:47.800 This is, you hear me talk about this issue all the time because you know that I believe that gender

00:24:57.300 ideology and especially its effects on kids, this is probably the number one issue we face as a society

00:25:04.100 right now. But even as much as I talk about it, if you listen to the show, you still probably don't

00:25:16.040 quite comprehend just how bad this is, how widespread this madness is, how ubiquitous, how ingrained it has

00:25:27.280 become. I don't think anyone, even I can't fully comprehend it because I'm living through it.

00:25:36.780 And it's the kind of thing that you can't fully understand. It's like it's a historical,

00:25:40.900 you know, anytime you're living through a historical period or some sort of historical event,

00:25:44.340 you, you, you, the people who are in it can't, they don't have the view of it that you have when

00:25:49.660 you're later, when you can look back. Um, and so even for me, it's, it's, it's impossible to fully

00:25:58.440 comprehend what we are doing to ourselves and especially to our kids. I mean, what this, this

00:26:07.260 generation that we're raising right now, what's, what's this generation going to look like in 30

00:26:16.220 years? How many of them are still going to be here? Because a huge portion, it's, I'll tell you

00:26:23.460 one thing we're going to see and we're already starting to see now, and it's only going to get

00:26:27.960 worse, mass suicide epidemic among these kids who, who we have taken. And when I say we, I mean,

00:26:38.340 society has, has taken and, uh, forced an identity crisis onto them and completely from the youngest

00:26:48.880 ages, completely morphed and deformed their, their, a concept of themselves and put them on a path

00:26:57.560 towards destroying and rejecting their own bodies. To a point where eventually they're going to look

00:27:06.380 back and so much damage has been done that can't be undone. And they're going to say, who am I? What

00:27:10.160 am I? What have, what have I done? What have you all as the adults allowed me to do? What have you

00:27:16.020 done to me? And we're, we're going to see a wave of despair and suicide, unlike anything the world has

00:27:23.300 ever seen before. Again, we're already seeing it. It's only going to get worse. The wave is going to

00:27:28.500 become a tsunami. And don't, don't comfort yourself by saying, well, this is a children's hospital in

00:27:35.060 Oregon. It's not the only children's hospital, but it's a children's hospital, a hospital telling kids

00:27:43.280 to do this. I don't think I need to get into an explanation of why giving tucking tips to little

00:27:52.220 boys is reprehensible and disgusting and horrible. One of the reasons is that we are encouraging our 0.86

00:28:03.980 kids again, to reject themselves, reject their own bodies. It's really the exact opposite of the

00:28:11.280 message that most of us grew up with, especially, you know, in the millennial generation back when I

00:28:16.760 was a kid and none of this stuff existed. Nobody was talking about any of this. But back then there

00:28:22.520 was this huge emphasis on embracing yourself and loving yourself and your own body. An emphasis that,

00:28:31.180 that oftentimes went, went way overboard and went into the realm of, you know, narcissism and encouraging

00:28:36.340 people to be sort of self-obsessed, but at least it was on the right path.

00:28:42.820 Okay. We, we, we, sometimes it went too far and we didn't go about it the right way all the time,

00:28:49.260 but it was the right path where you're at least telling people, okay, this is who you are. This

00:28:54.660 is your body. It's the only one you're ever going to get. So you should accept that, accept who you

00:29:02.020 are. Uh, you should love who you are, love the body that God has given you. The message now for

00:29:10.820 kids is exactly the opposite of that. And I'll tell you something else. Um, the people who see this kind

00:29:21.000 of thing are giving tucking tips to kids in a children's hospital. The people who see this and approve of

00:29:26.500 it, uh, I don't want to share a country with them. I don't want to be united with them. They are not my

00:29:36.320 brothers and sisters in the, in this country. They're not my friends. I don't want to be their

00:29:41.880 friends. I, I, I don't even want to be cordial towards them. We can't even be cordial. Like if

00:29:48.080 you're around me and I know that you're that kind of person who would approve of something like this,

00:29:51.940 I can't respect you as a human being. I don't want to be near you. I don't want to have a

00:29:58.440 conversation with you about anything. You disgust me. You are an evil, twisted, sick person. 1.00

00:30:07.080 That's where we are in this country. 1.00

00:30:10.860 And, uh, I don't see how it gets any better. All right, let's see what else we got here. Um,

00:30:16.560 we'll play this for you this week. The Senate committee on health, education, labor, and pensions

00:30:23.080 voted on an amendment that would block the government from enforcing mask usage and vaccines

00:30:29.760 for preschoolers and toddlers. I want to play this clip for you quickly and just listen to this and,

00:30:34.220 uh, tell me what you hear. And next we have Braun amendment number eight to prohibit HHS from

00:30:42.540 implementing or enforcing their regulations regarding mask or vaccination protections

00:30:46.700 in the headstart program. Again, I will be a no on this. Does anyone want Senator Braun's 15 seconds?

00:30:53.520 Seeing none. Clerk will call the roll. Senator Romney.

00:31:00.600 There's Senator Romney with the, uh, with the no, which means that he's, he, he doesn't want to

00:31:06.640 stop the government from forcing masks and vaccines on toddlers. He's, he's in favor of doing that

00:31:13.840 as a, as a Republican. This is the Republican party. All right, moving on quickly. Another clip I want

00:31:21.420 to play for you before we get to the comment section. Um, I don't exactly know why, but we

00:31:25.960 got it. We need a little bit of levity here. We need something a little bit less serious.

00:31:29.120 So Kim Kardashian was, you can't get less serious than that. She was on with Ellen and apparently 0.92

00:31:34.860 Ellen DeGeneres still has a show. I thought that she got run out of town and her show was canceled, 0.99

00:31:38.920 but apparently not. She's been doing a show and she was, um, interviewing Kim Kardashian,

00:31:43.420 talking about her wonderful romance with Pete Davidson. And this is what she said. Listen,

00:31:49.460 there's a tattoo that says Kim. Um, yeah, he has a few tattoos, few cute ones, you know,

00:31:55.860 that he got. Um, but this one is a, it's not that one. The Kim one isn't a tattoo. It's actually a

00:32:02.180 branding, like a branding because let me explain it because he wanted to do something that was really

00:32:10.800 different. Cause like, okay, first tattoo we got, I was like, Oh, so cute. Thank you. Oh my God.

00:32:15.540 So, you know, second, whatever. I'm like, Oh, that's so cute. But like, that's what tattoo people

00:32:19.620 do, right? Like they get tattoos of what's going on in their life. And wait, back up, back up.

00:32:24.880 Am I special? You said first tattoo. So he has three tattoos of you. It just sounds like this is

00:32:32.080 like the third. So the first tattoo was, you said kind of cute. So yeah, is it your name or is it

00:32:38.860 like a little branding is my name? Right. The other ones are like cutesy things. I think my

00:32:43.440 favorite one, it says here, it says, my girl is a lawyer. She a lawyer is Kim Kardashian, a lawyer. 0.83

00:32:53.060 That's there's a lot of information coming out on the show that I don't think anyone wanted to know.

00:32:56.660 One of them is a Kim Kardashian somehow has a law degree apparently. So Kanye West is the mentally

00:33:02.900 ill one here. And yet Pete Davidson is getting branded with his girlfriend's name. Kanye West 0.99

00:33:12.280 is a problem though. Here's the, here's the proper response when you're dating someone and

00:33:17.940 they get a tattoo of your name. It's just as soon as it's, it's a real, it's a real simple

00:33:22.300 thing. You're dating someone and, uh, they say you're, you're sitting down with them somewhere

00:33:28.160 and they say, Hey, check out this tattoo. I got your name. All you do very simply is you

00:33:32.520 just get up and you walk away and never talk to that person ever again. Um, now they get

00:33:39.300 three tattoos and that even, and a branding even more so that would be, that would be the

00:33:45.560 proper response. But of course, Kim Kardashian's a, uh, herself, a raging narcissist, obviously. 1.00

00:33:51.380 So she thinks, well, yeah, of course you're going to get branded. The whole world should be

00:33:54.960 branded with my name as far as she's concerned. All right. Um, one other quick headline. This

00:34:01.100 is from the New York post. It says a comment, 16 miles wide is heading towards earth. That's

00:34:08.840 the headline. So this is not the, this is different from the one that was the size of a giraffe

00:34:14.180 or the, or rather a half giraffe. This is one that's 16 miles wide and, uh, it's, it's heading

00:34:19.120 towards earth. My question is, when I read this, the first thing that I thought, I know you

00:34:22.840 had the same thought. I know for, you know, many people in the media, of course, had this

00:34:26.140 thought, but the first thing I thought, 60 mile wide comment heading towards earth. 0.81

00:34:29.480 How is this going to affect the LGBT community? Like marginalized communities are going to 1.00

00:34:35.220 be disproportionately impacted. That's my main concern by this earth destroying comment.

00:34:41.260 Turns out by the way, that when you, uh, when you click on the article that it's the comment

00:34:45.740 is heading towards earth, but it's just going to, it's going to orbit around and then go somewhere

00:34:49.340 else. So it's not actually going to hit the earth. Just another click bait, another click

00:34:54.100 bait, uh, asteroid article. It gets all, all of our hopes up as usual. Let's get to the

00:34:58.980 comment section.

00:35:09.540 All right. Dailywire.com slash sweet baby comments. Do we have anything worth watching from there?

00:35:14.060 Let's try clip seven. Hey, sweet daddy. So I'm getting ready to watch your show.

00:35:23.620 And yesterday I did a little search on, uh, Ernest Shackleton because I was so inspired the other day

00:35:30.740 and, uh, knowing how much my public school education had failed me. I am going to, um, continue the journey

00:35:39.400 on my own and read this book. But I noticed this, uh, nice little comment on audible, uh, from Matthew

00:35:46.720 in 04 saying, I listened to this one in the car on my way to and from work each day. As the end

00:35:55.460 approached, I would sit in my car and listen. I couldn't bring myself to turn off the player.

00:35:59.820 I even cried twice. I never cry. Just wondering if that's you. Hmm. Anyways, uh, have a good show

00:36:12.540 today. Oh, one more thing. I, uh, purple nerpled my husband until he called you sweet daddy. So

00:36:20.960 yeah, sweet baby gang for life. Uh, the bit at the end there was just, well, that's, that's when we

00:36:27.980 get into the TMI range. I'm not sure that I needed that. Actually, I thought, see, this is written on

00:36:32.460 the clip sheet. It says, uh, did you write this Amazon review? So I thought it was gonna be a review

00:36:36.980 for my own book, Johnny the Walrus. It'd be a good product placement. But anyway, uh, no, I, I look

00:36:42.580 this is not, it's not, it is, it's an affecting book. Um, it's a good book, but we've gone through

00:36:50.980 the list, the appropriate reasons for men to cry and, um, a book didn't make the list unless we're

00:36:57.840 talking about the Bible. I have to allow it for that. If you're overcome, even there, don't overdo

00:37:02.600 it. But if you're reading the Bible and the spirit is moving you, then I, I can't, that I just, I can't

00:37:07.920 judge you for that without incurring, uh, the wrath of the almighty. So I'll allow it for that,

00:37:12.760 but no other book. All right. I'm being told that clip nine is good. Is it good? It's a minute and

00:37:20.660 27 seconds. You're telling me this is good. Okay. I'm McKenna is in my ear right now, promising me

00:37:27.280 that this one minute, 27 second clip will actually be good. So she's on the hook here. Okay. Let's

00:37:34.080 watch. Hey, Mr. Walsh, it's me. It's Uncle Murray. You know, I was looking through your

00:37:38.440 store and I didn't see no little Matt Walsh figurines or something from my dashboard. So

00:37:43.160 I thought, okay, I guess I'm going to have to make one myself. I figured I'd carve my own

00:37:47.720 little daddy Maddie out of a stick of wood. Here, watch, I'll show you. See, that's going

00:37:51.520 to be you. You got your leprechaun hat for St. Patrick's Day. Okay, here we go. Well, that's

00:37:56.180 the rough out of you. If your tools are sharp enough, you can go in sideways like a ninja.

00:38:01.100 If I don't trim that off, it'll look like you got this. Okay. Does he actually carve

00:38:05.140 the thing? What is he carving? From your tushy all the way down. He actually

00:38:09.180 carves me. Can we fast forward to the end where I see myself? Now I'm working

00:38:12.840 leprechaun and you let your beer grow out a little manlier, right? Wow. That's actually

00:38:18.740 impressive. I can't even tell the difference. Listen. Okay. I'm Matt Walsh. I like beer and

00:38:24.000 whiskey and I hate you. Okay. Okay, fine. I am. We didn't need a minute and 27 seconds 0.99

00:38:30.720 of that, but he actually carved that whole thing, huh? That takes talent. I'll give him

00:38:35.940 that. But please, stop sending your comments in. All the same. Let's see. Sidney Mercedes

00:38:44.080 says, Matt, you're banned if you make us listen to that song about Zelensky. That's cruel and

00:38:47.900 unusual punishment. Well, as you know, if I have to endure these things, so do you. So

00:38:52.560 stay tuned for the daily cancellation. Curly says, Matt, evolution only occurs within a species,

00:38:57.940 not between species. Herschel was entirely correct. Well, he wasn't because he misstated

00:39:02.240 what the theory is. And that was my point yesterday is that if you want to take this

00:39:05.280 on, you know, as a Christian, as a political candidate, for some reason, you feel like

00:39:09.780 you got to talk about evolution. You want to take on this issue. You need to at least

00:39:13.740 understand what the theory is, especially if you're going to take the skeptical side of

00:39:18.840 it. Because if you misrepresent what it is, then you're not achieving anything. You're just

00:39:25.100 going to get mocked and no one's going to listen to your critique and, uh, and all of

00:39:29.320 that. So he, he just, he didn't understand what the theory actually states. Uh, and that's

00:39:34.320 the problem. Heart for kids says, I love how you drop, draw a sharp breath and then say,

00:39:40.200 all right, when transitioning from one headline to the next, it's sweet. Now you just made me

00:39:45.180 feel weird about it. I can't even, now I just feel stressed. I feel weird about so many

00:39:50.580 things that have happened in the last five minutes. Uh, Brian Bauer says, I was about

00:39:55.120 to unsubscribe when Matt said he didn't approve of the daylight savings time change, but I

00:39:58.720 didn't realize they were talking about keeping it permanently in place. Once again, I should

00:40:02.040 always realize whenever I think that Matt is talking about a subject, uh, I should wait

00:40:06.520 to hear what his correct assessment is before continuing with life. Well, thanks Brian for

00:40:11.180 pointing that out because there were a lot of people in the comments that were disagreeing

00:40:13.560 with me. Um, and because they, they didn't understand again, they didn't understand what,

00:40:19.880 what, what, what, what Congress had done. They didn't abolish daylight savings time. They

00:40:24.260 have made it permanent. So they've taken this failed government policy and they've said that

00:40:28.380 now we're stuck with it forever. Abolishing it would be good. They did the opposite of that.

00:40:35.560 And finally, Sean says only Matt Walsh would get this worked up over daylight savings time.

00:40:39.920 You're going to give yourself an aneurysm, bro. That's my charm. If I have any charm at

00:40:43.980 all, it's about, it's because I get worked up about insignificant things, isn't it?

00:40:48.300 Tonight is Ben's third Thursday book club, and you've still got a chance to sign up if

00:40:52.400 you haven't yet. He'll be taking members through his analysis of a tale of two cities by Charles

00:40:56.320 Dickens. Remember, this is a live experience where you get to engage with him like never

00:40:59.920 before. Here's the thing. Even if you haven't read the book, you'll feel well read by the time

00:41:03.840 you're done. If anyone should be serving as your guide, when it comes to the most important

00:41:07.640 works of literature and existence, it's Ben. When you sign up, you also get his notes,

00:41:12.080 which is a cheat sheet to important lessons, themes, and characters. And remember, you're

00:41:15.920 doing all this with thousands of Daily Wire members live. And again, the really good thing

00:41:20.800 is that you don't have to read the book. You can just watch Ben, you get the notes, and

00:41:24.380 then from then on, you can pretend that you've read it. And if anyone challenges you and says,

00:41:28.360 oh yeah, what happened in that book? Well, you've got the notes and you can impress them

00:41:40.000 to join the conversation tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. Also, as you all well know at this

00:41:44.860 point, the Daily Wire does not stop creating awesome new content. And we're super excited

00:41:48.340 about our latest docuseries, Fauci Unmasked. The show exposes the most successful failure

00:41:52.940 in government history, Dr. Anthony Fauci, hosted by our very own Michael Knowles. He'll peel back

00:41:57.180 the mask on Fauci's past and show the world's leading, quote, scientist for what he really is,

00:42:02.540 a fraud. The second episode dropped this morning and reveals just how ineffectively

00:42:05.780 the world's leading disease expert handled every crisis from swine flu to anthrax and everything in

00:42:10.500 between. Just to get a taste of it, here's a quick sneak peek. He's the highest paid employee

00:42:15.640 in our federal government. And beginning in the spring of 2020, Dr. Fauci began to set national policy

00:42:22.620 that affected the way that 330 million Americans lived their lives. For goodness sakes, I'm telling

00:42:29.000 you, wear a mask, keep social distancing. There's nothing political about that. But who is Anthony

00:42:35.680 Fauci? People who have conspiracy theories, those are people that don't particularly care for me.

00:42:42.440 In this short series, we will do what the establishment media have refused to do.

00:42:46.760 We will give you an unvarnished look at the career of the most powerful politician in America,

00:42:53.820 Dr. Anthony Fauci.

00:42:55.100 Don't you think it's time that you step down and let someone else who has a more effective message?

00:42:59.720 Actually, no.

00:43:00.520 The latest part of the three-part series drops tomorrow, and it's available exclusively at The

00:43:10.360 Daily Wire. If you're not a member yet, head to dailywire.com slash subscribe to join today.

00:43:14.700 The show is excellent, and since we're only adding more content every day, you don't want to miss it.

00:43:18.720 So make sure you go check that out. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:43:25.540 Well, as previously mentioned, or maybe threatened,

00:43:27.560 the daily cancellation today begins with a musical tribute from the admittedly quite talented John

00:43:33.400 Odranczyk. Is that your pronouncing?

00:43:37.460 On Jurassic. Whatever. His stage name is Five for Fighting. He wrote this song called

00:43:42.400 Can One Man Save the World for and About President Zelensky in Ukraine. It's been shared all over social

00:43:48.200 media and hailed by many people, including many conservatives, some of whom I respect,

00:43:52.200 as a stirring, beautiful, and well-deserved homage to the leader of Ukraine.

00:43:57.560 Newsweek catalogs some of these tearful reactions in an article headline,

00:44:01.300 Can One Man Save the World? A song about Zelensky takes internet by storm.

00:44:04.920 The article notes that the singer has performed the song on television as well, and

00:44:09.400 everywhere it's played, the audience becomes overwhelmed with warm emotions.

00:44:15.500 Now you can decide for yourself whether it's worthy of that sort of reaction.

00:44:18.840 Let's take a listen.

00:44:20.800 Who is this comedian, his audience, more mice than men?

00:44:28.400 This Superman Ukrainian, I don't know. 0.92

00:44:34.400 Great grandson of the Holocaust, an Eastern heart the West has lost. 0.91

00:44:41.800 Nail or carry off his cross, I don't know.

00:44:45.780 But he's got everyone thinking Yeah, he's got all of us thinking

00:44:58.740 Can one man save the world in a thousand years?

00:45:05.420 Will they say your name or is this all in vain?

00:45:11.920 Can one man save the world?

00:45:15.480 Will you tell me?

00:45:16.500 All right, so it's possible that I'm hearing things hallucinating, but I could have sworn

00:45:21.240 that the song presents Zelensky as Superman, Christ carrying his cross, and a Messiah who

00:45:28.180 can save the whole world.

00:45:29.680 And that's just the first verse.

00:45:31.360 I didn't listen to the rest of it, but I assume it ends with a modified version of the

00:45:34.920 Lord's Prayer.

00:45:36.060 You know, R. Zelensky, which art in Ukraine.

00:45:38.160 Now, I agree with the general consensus that it is good and admirable for Zelensky to stay

00:45:44.900 and fight for his country.

00:45:46.860 That's great.

00:45:47.520 Of course, the only other option, right, is to abandon your country and flee into the 1.00

00:45:52.520 night, which would be an act of unspeakable cowardice.

00:45:55.020 So Zelensky has chosen not to be an unspeakable coward, and that's good.

00:46:02.140 Doesn't make him Jesus Christ, though, or Superman.

00:46:04.540 And it's important to point that out, not for the sake of cheap cynicism, but for one

00:46:09.020 thing, because the Zelensky adulation was already teetering on the edge of sacrilege

00:46:13.700 and deification, and has officially fallen over that edge now, and is in a state of blasphemous

00:46:19.260 freefall.

00:46:20.860 I shouldn't need to explain why, you know, talking about political leaders this way is, to borrow

00:46:24.740 a favorite leftist buzzword, problematic, especially from a moral and theological perspective,

00:46:30.300 but, you know, apparently we do.

00:46:32.360 And for another thing, when you hail somebody as a blameless hero, a literal Superman, a

00:46:37.560 savior figure who's fighting to save the world and redeem all of mankind, as many people have

00:46:42.100 done with Zelensky, and not just through this song, you've made it impossible to think critically

00:46:46.860 about him, about what he's doing and saying, and especially about what he wants us to do

00:46:51.640 for his sake.

00:46:52.280 Like, this is a perilous moment for the world.

00:46:56.140 Things could go any number of different ways, and some of them bad, and some of them very,

00:47:01.860 very extremely catastrophically bad.

00:47:04.400 We are in a position where nothing really good is going to happen, but it's a question

00:47:10.700 of how bad is it going to be.

00:47:13.380 What we need now, in a moment like this, are sober minds and people who are capable of careful

00:47:19.380 reflection.

00:47:19.880 We need prudence, but that's out the window when you're literally bowing at the feet of 0.93

00:47:25.660 one of the people involved and worshiping him as some kind of demigod, a deity made flesh.

00:47:32.280 This kind of thing is not just cringy and annoying, though it is that it's also the sort

00:47:36.220 of thoughtless, hysterical, overzealous, emotionally driven mentality that leads people to do very 0.99

00:47:41.460 stupid thing. 0.98

00:47:42.860 Now, as a general rule, there's absolutely nothing good that ever comes out of making supermen 1.00

00:47:48.100 out of political figures, and there's especially nothing good that comes of it when you do

00:47:53.960 that during wartime of all times.

00:47:57.040 Now, if we can keep our wits about us and stop with the slack-jawed drooling over Zelensky, 1.00

00:48:03.440 stop being a bunch of fangirls, treating a foreign politician like he's a pop star in concert,

00:48:08.080 and we're in the front row reaching out our hands and hoping that he touches us, if we

00:48:14.280 can knock that off and be grown adults for a change, then I think maybe this is the picture

00:48:19.260 of Zelensky that might take shape.

00:48:21.340 He's a political leader whose country has been invaded.

00:48:25.520 He's trying to fight to defend his home.

00:48:28.500 That's good.

00:48:29.000 Beyond that, most of us don't really know anything else about him.

00:48:34.220 Most of us had never heard his name or thought about him for even a second prior to three weeks

00:48:38.980 ago.

00:48:40.180 What else has he done in Ukraine?

00:48:42.020 What is his personal history?

00:48:44.820 What was his role in the lead-up to this conflict?

00:48:48.420 These are details that the vast majority of Americans don't have.

00:48:51.800 The lack of information, as always, should be reason for caution, not reason for assuming

00:48:56.540 that everything we don't know must not matter, because if it did, we would know it.

00:49:02.000 But here's something else that we do know about Zelensky.

00:49:04.300 He is actively pushing to get us involved in a conflict which would certainly lead to thousands

00:49:09.540 of our sons and daughters dying and might lead to many more deaths than that, potentially

00:49:13.220 millions of deaths.

00:49:15.400 Zelensky wants us to incur those costs, wants us to sacrifice our children's lives, potentially,

00:49:21.180 for him and for his country and for his people.

00:49:23.180 There's no reason to think that he would do the same for us, but he wants us to do that

00:49:28.320 for him.

00:49:29.220 You can't blame him for wanting this kind of assistance.

00:49:32.280 You can't blame him for caring more about Ukraine and his people than he does about the United

00:49:36.480 States and our people.

00:49:38.660 Most people in this country obviously don't blame him for that, and neither do I.

00:49:42.600 And yet the same people in the U.S. who don't blame Zelensky for caring more about Ukraine

00:49:46.400 than the United States do blame Americans who care more about the United States than Ukraine.

00:49:51.540 It's completely perverse and backwards. 0.92

00:49:55.160 According to these sad, self-loathing patsies, the only people in the whole world who should 0.98

00:50:00.220 not prioritize their own nation's safety over the safety of other nations are Americans. 0.58

00:50:05.840 Everybody else can put their people first.

00:50:08.160 We cannot.

00:50:10.080 This kind of confused thinking only becomes worse and more confused when you mix it with

00:50:15.540 the deification of foreign leaders.

00:50:17.260 Zelensky wants us to sacrifice an indefinite number of American lives for him. 0.80

00:50:23.280 If we insist on seeing Zelensky as a faultless martyr, as a saint, a sort of cinematic protagonist,

00:50:29.200 then we're not going to be able to evaluate those demands with the clear-headed, temperate

00:50:32.880 disposition that's required.

00:50:34.960 We're likely to march our way into bloodshed and suffering and death with our eyes not open

00:50:39.340 but closed, imagining some sort of fantasy scenario that's only vaguely related to the real world.

00:50:44.140 One other point.

00:50:46.480 Every time I make this argument, I'm accused of lacking compassion for the suffering people

00:50:50.720 of Ukraine.

00:50:51.940 Just as one example, yesterday, a guy named Noam Blum, an allegedly conservative media figure,

00:50:58.060 took me to task on Twitter writing, quote,

00:50:59.700 If Matt Walsh were capable of spending a tenth of the emotional energy he does being pissy

00:51:04.480 at Zelensky on showing some legitimately passionate human empathy to the suffering going on, he

00:51:10.360 wouldn't be Matt Walsh, I guess.

00:51:13.020 I guess for Blum and many others, I haven't spent nearly enough time tweeting hashtags about

00:51:18.800 how I stand with Ukraine.

00:51:21.300 I've ruthlessly refused to put a Ukrainian flag in my bio or buy a Ukrainian flag t-shirt.

00:51:27.080 Lots of other people have done this.

00:51:30.620 I'm not sure why I need to do it too.

00:51:33.180 That's one thing I don't understand.

00:51:34.060 If you see everyone doing and saying something, why do you need, if there's a couple people

00:51:39.120 not doing it, what do you need them for?

00:51:41.820 Is there not enough of that already?

00:51:43.400 I'm not sure what it achieves or how any of this virtue signaling helps the people of Ukraine.

00:51:51.520 Yeah, I mean, I could defuse that criticism by just tweeting out hashtag I stand with Ukraine.

00:52:00.560 Okay.

00:52:01.600 What does that do?

00:52:03.040 Who does that help?

00:52:04.660 Except me, I guess, in that I can display my virtue.

00:52:07.520 I don't see that it helps anything.

00:52:11.080 And at any rate, my focus is on making sure that America doesn't get sucked into a conflict

00:52:16.300 that could spread that misery and suffering to our shores.

00:52:20.180 And that's not selfishness on my part because it's not just myself that I'm worried about.

00:52:24.500 I'm worried about America and Americans. 1.00

00:52:27.260 It's not a me first mentality.

00:52:29.160 It's an America first mentality.

00:52:30.620 And we as Americans must have that attitude because if we don't prioritize our own people's

00:52:36.300 safety and security, then nobody else will.

00:52:39.960 But I must also note that as Blum attacks me for not saying enough publicly about the

00:52:44.620 suffering people of Ukraine, he himself has, so far as I can tell, never said anything at

00:52:50.160 all about the suffering people of Mozambique.

00:52:53.240 That's also a war-torn country where many innocent men, women, and children live amid violence

00:52:57.640 and untold misery.

00:52:58.440 Literally untold misery because nobody talks about it.

00:53:01.940 Nobody talks about the vast majority of the victims of genocide and war and violence and

00:53:06.880 disease across the planet.

00:53:08.720 What's happening in Ukraine right now, I got to tell you, is not the first war we've seen

00:53:12.960 in recent times, even this year.

00:53:17.760 Well, do those people not count?

00:53:19.700 Are they less important?

00:53:21.840 See, if you only express compassion and empathy for the suffering people in countries that get

00:53:26.920 American media attention, you might want to consider the possibility that your compassion

00:53:31.180 and empathy are completely fake and meaningless.

00:53:34.540 You feel intense compassion for whichever group of people the media is talking about, and then

00:53:39.160 you stop thinking about them the second the news cycle moves on to somebody else.

00:53:43.020 You get caught up in these waves, and then you have the audacity to get self-righteous

00:53:47.720 about it, blaming others for not virtue signaling as enthusiastically as you are.

00:53:51.720 It's absurd, but it's worse than absurd, because this wave we're in right now is threatening

00:53:57.680 to send us crashing into a world war.

00:54:00.740 And then we'll really see some death and suffering, much closer to home.

00:54:06.020 And that's why empty virtue signaling and Zelensky worship are both today, I must say, canceled.

00:54:12.420 And we'll leave it there for today.
