Today on The Matt Wall Show, the left screeches in horror as Elon Musk launches his hostile
00:00:04.320
takeover of Twitter, threatening to allow the open exchange of ideas, the horror.
00:00:08.940
Also, the suspect in the New York City subway mass shooting has an extensive criminal history
00:00:13.260
and yet was allowed to remain on the street until now. That's what criminal justice reform gets you.
00:00:17.300
Plus, Kentucky effectively outlaws abortion. NFTs are once again revealed to be a ridiculous scam,
00:00:22.240
and the ladies of The View descend into hilarious incoherence while attempting to discuss
00:00:26.280
gay marriage. Talk about all that and much more today on The Matt Wall Show.
00:00:30.000
Have you thought about buying a new home, maybe a second home or an investment property?
00:00:43.000
It really is the perfect time to do so. Home values are up over 20% last year. That's quite
00:00:47.640
the return if you ask me. That's why I recommend calling American Financing, America's Home for
00:00:52.000
Home Loans. They're a family-owned company and a proud partner of The Matt Wall Show. They'll work
00:00:57.440
with you, guide you through custom loan options, and walk you through every step of the process.
00:01:01.040
It really is a no-pressure experience with them, and they never charge upfront or hidden fees,
00:01:05.440
which is quite refreshing since many lenders charge $500 or so just to get you qualified.
00:01:09.420
Don't do that. Instead, give American Financing a call. You can get a free loan review and even be
00:01:14.720
connected to a realtor if you need one. It takes as little as 10 minutes. It's very easy to do.
00:01:18.840
Very simple. All you have to do is start by calling 866-569-4711. Again, that's 866-569-4711.
00:01:28.800
One more time, that's 866-569-4711. Or visit AmericanFinancing.net, NMLS 182334, NMLSConsumerAccess.org.
00:01:39.500
Well, I may not seem to be the biggest champion of diversity, but I could still appreciate watching
00:01:45.040
a glass ceiling get shattered as much as any progressive. The truth is that despite appearances,
00:01:49.840
you know, I do deeply value diversity, equity, inclusion, tolerance. I know that this country
00:01:55.860
has come so far in atoning for the sins of its past, and yet it still has so much farther to go.
00:02:02.840
And that's why I nearly wept with tears of joy this morning as I heard the news that an African-American
00:02:07.480
man may soon take ownership of Twitter. We inched ever closer to true and complete racial equity in
00:02:13.540
this country when Elon Musk positioned himself to potentially become the first African-American
00:02:18.780
immigrant to own a major social media platform. This is big news, big progress. Ketaji Brown-Jackson's
00:02:25.880
confirmation may have been an historic achievement, but it pales in comparison to this. As the Daily
00:02:32.420
Wire reports, Elon Musk, the tech billionaire who made waves across the world after recently becoming
00:02:36.620
the largest Twitter shareholder, is offering to buy 100% of Twitter at $54.20 per share in a cash deal
00:02:44.320
that could exceed $40 billion. According to an SEC filing submitted Wednesday evening, Musk told Twitter
00:02:49.680
chairman Brett Taylor that this was his best and final offer. The offer comes just days after Musk
00:02:55.920
declined to take a position on Twitter's board of directors. And now we know why he declined to take
00:03:01.160
that position. You can read in the SEC filing the voice and text message from Musk to Twitter where
00:03:07.040
he explains his offer. He emphasizes again that he's not going to negotiate. It's his best and final.
00:03:12.520
But if the board doesn't accept the offer, which I don't know how they could choose not to accept as
00:03:17.200
declining the offer would be them acting against the financial interests of their shareholders.
00:03:21.980
But if they don't accept, Musk indicated that he would reconsider, quote unquote, his position as a
00:03:26.480
shareholder. So this is, in other words, a hostile takeover. And certainly if they refuse the offer
00:03:32.800
and Musk pulls out completely, Twitter's stock price is going to plummet through the floor.
00:03:37.460
So they're backed into a corner, it would seem, and it is a glorious sight to behold.
00:03:42.880
Now, as for the reaction to this news, it has been, as you might expect, quite dramatic.
00:03:48.920
Some of us, though, see this as, you know, not only a major win for racial equity,
00:03:52.620
but also an opportunity. For example, I've already reached out to Elon on Twitter and offered my
00:03:58.300
services as the company's new chief diversity and inclusion officer. I assume there's going to
00:04:02.980
be a lot of vacancies coming up, especially in those kinds of departments. And I am willing to
00:04:07.540
do that. I don't even need a seven-figure income to do the job. I'd settle for something even in just
00:04:11.480
like the high six-figure range. But the left has not been quite so hopeful or optimistic. They are
00:04:18.380
treating this like the end of the world, literally. I mean, somebody tweeted this morning,
00:04:22.180
quote, Elon Musk buying Twitter is the end of the world, basically. He'll amplify every extremist
00:04:28.420
right-wing Nazi he can find. The verified left-wing blue checks on the platform, especially, are having
00:04:34.320
a difficult time. We're going to read some of these, and I think we might need some sad piano music again
00:04:38.700
for this. Lance Richardson says, Elon Musk buying Twitter, if he's indeed successful, might be the
00:04:44.700
impetus I've been looking for to delete this thing permanently. There's a lot of that, by the way,
00:04:49.540
people threatening to leave, leftists threatening to leave. It's like one of those, is that a threat
00:04:54.820
or a promise kind of thing? Max Boot says, I'm frightened by the impact on society and politics if Elon
00:05:02.820
Musk acquires Twitter. He seems to believe that on social media, anything goes. For democracy to survive,
00:05:09.600
we need more content moderation, not less. Just stop and think about that for a second. For democracy
00:05:16.700
to survive, we need more content moderation. For democracy to survive, there needs to be less ability
00:05:24.360
to express your point of view. Makes sense. Whitney Don Carlson says more simply, F you, Elon Musk.
00:05:32.560
And then Miguel, an employee of Twitter, says, I can't even with Elon buying Twitter. I may have to
00:05:39.700
rethink my employment if that actually happens. And Pam Keith says, I love you all, but I am 100%
00:05:46.600
out if Musk takes over Twitter. No, Pam Keith, don't leave. Please, we beg you to stay. Well, you know
00:05:54.160
what? Actually, call this whole thing up. I just decided. I thought it was good. But if Pam Keith is not
00:05:59.960
going to be on Twitter with Elon Musk in control, then forget the whole thing. It's not worth it.
00:06:06.440
Matthew Rosa desperately beseeched the current CEO of Twitter to resist the takeover attempt. He
00:06:11.100
tweeted, Dear Parag Agrawal, if you're reading this, right now the world needs to know that you're
00:06:17.440
stronger, smarter, and more tenacious than Elon Musk. He thinks he can beat you. The free world needs to
00:06:24.220
know that he's wrong. Yours truly, a lifelong and long verified Twitter user.
00:06:31.820
That's also how I sign all of my letters as well, actually, as it happens. Don't ask either of us
00:06:37.660
how we could possibly be lifelong Twitter users. That's irrelevant. And then finally, of course,
00:06:43.920
Jeff Jarvis pushes the Nazi button. In case of emergency, push the Nazi button, which it's like
00:06:49.060
it's always an emergency for the left. So he says, Today on Twitter feels like the last evening in a
00:06:54.060
Berlin nightclub at the twilight of Weimar, Germany. Yes, the prospect that people expressing their
00:07:02.520
opinions honestly on Twitter is exactly like Nazi Germany. People being able to tweet memes with
00:07:13.060
abandon. It's just like Nazism. There's no difference, really. Now, jokes somewhat aside,
00:07:22.580
I do think there are two important points to be made about this, aside from the fact that
00:07:28.840
Elon Musk is an African-American man, which, by the way, that will never not be hilarious to say.
00:07:33.980
I don't care how many times the joke is used. It's not even really a joke because it's technically true.
00:07:37.980
So that's just the, that's one of my favorite, honestly, one of my favorite facts in the universe,
00:07:45.620
actually, is that Elon Musk is an African-American because they hate him so much. And he's like the
00:07:50.680
richest guy in the world. And he's, and he's, and it makes them so mad when you call him an
00:07:54.540
African-American, but they can't, it's true. So they can't do anything about it. I just, I love it.
00:07:58.300
Anyway. So the first thing to keep in mind here is that as happy as I am about Elon Musk potentially
00:08:04.820
seizing the reins of Twitter and as delighted as I am to drink from such an abundance of leftist
00:08:10.900
tears, so many tears that my, my Tumblr can, can't possibly hold them all. I do, however,
00:08:16.720
think that we should acknowledge that it's not a good sign that we're relying on the benevolence
00:08:21.340
of an eccentric billionaire to protect the free exchange of ideas. You know, if you had any doubt
00:08:26.960
before, this is now all the confirmation you should need that we, we do live in an oligarchy.
00:08:33.100
Ours is a country fully in the hands of a group of elites and government media and the corporate
00:08:37.760
world pushing and pulling and conspiring with each other and sometimes fighting with each other to
00:08:42.840
control our lives. That's, that's the world we live in. It's, it's not a good system, but since
00:08:49.280
we're stuck in it for now, the best thing that can happen within the system is that at least one of
00:08:53.620
these powerful people decides that free speech is actually important and seizes control of a platform
00:08:58.400
like Twitter to provide a forum for it. Second, we have to ask why exactly is the left panicking so
00:09:06.380
much at the thought of Elon Musk taking control of Twitter? Um, the answer is obvious, but worth
00:09:11.300
articulating in any case. Musk is not, despite how he's portrayed some sort of right-wing ideologue.
00:09:18.520
He's not going to go in and start banishing all the leftist accounts out into the hinterlands
00:09:22.560
as satisfying as that might be to see from a retribution kind of perspective, but he's not
00:09:29.400
going to do that. And everyone knows he's not going to do that. The fear on the left is not that
00:09:35.560
they'll be banished, but that Musk will make good on his promise to allow the free and open expression
00:09:41.800
of opinions and ideas. Leftism's cultural dominance relies heavily, almost entirely, on the control of
00:09:49.960
expression. It hasn't taken this position of dominance by defeating the other side in the
00:09:56.220
ideological arena. It hasn't convinced people to come over to its camp. It hasn't made like
00:10:01.080
convincing arguments and people say, oh, wow, you know, I've considered both points of view and
00:10:05.440
sure. Its ideas cannot prevail in that kind of contest. They don't stand up against even the
00:10:12.540
slightest scrutiny. So for leftism, the game is won by making sure that it is the only team allowed on
00:10:18.200
the field. This kind of suppression accomplishes, I think, two things for them. One, it of course
00:10:24.180
ensures that people don't encounter the opposing views or hear the arguments because you don't need
00:10:29.740
to bother debunking or defeating arguments that nobody hears anyway. Very often people come up to
00:10:34.680
me and they'll thank me for making some point or another and then they'll tell me that, oh, you know,
00:10:40.300
I'd never heard that before. I'd never heard anyone put it like that before. And that's always shocking
00:10:44.260
to me because all I ever do is state the obvious. I have no deeper insights to offer really. And yet,
00:10:51.980
and don't quote me on that, you know, because you're still watching the show, but really what
00:10:56.280
I'm doing is just stating the obvious. And yet even obvious truths are kept out of view from so many
00:11:03.000
people. The other thing that suppression accomplishes, I think even more so, is isolation.
00:11:08.760
Um, this is another thing that I hear all the time for people because if it's common sense,
00:11:13.740
it means that it's a lot of these things are the kinds of things people know. You don't need to
00:11:16.840
tell them, they just know it. Like the, you know, men and women are different. For example,
00:11:21.020
it's a common sense thing. It's self-evident, maybe one of the most self-evident facts in the world.
00:11:27.020
And so everyone kind of knows you don't need to tell them that. And yet the other thing that I get
00:11:30.800
from people to come and they'll thank me for expressing some opinion, uh, or another, because prior to
00:11:35.900
hearing me say it, they thought that they were alone in thinking that way or nearly alone. And
00:11:42.100
this is always surprising too, because again, you know, it's, it's common sense, but leftist
00:11:45.500
speech suppression has made it so that people with normal common sense ideas about the world
00:11:50.560
feel like they are alone. And after a while, if you think you're alone in feeling a certain way or
00:11:58.620
thinking a certain way or having a certain opinion, you might surrender to the mainstream view
00:12:02.460
just for the sake of self-preservation, or you might convince yourself that you must be wrong
00:12:08.200
given that you're so outnumbered. This is the process that's actually happened with some people
00:12:14.540
on the gender issue. And a lot, some, some guys, it also is dependent some, in some ways on, on where
00:12:20.900
you live. Um, but people are so surrounded by this insanity that after a while they start to think,
00:12:28.220
well, am I, am I wrong about this? I thought men and women are different, but everywhere I go and
00:12:32.680
everyone seems to be affirming the opposite. So this is a very valuable tool to the left
00:12:39.200
and it's what they stand to lose. At least partially if Twitter slips out of their hands
00:12:44.540
and it's why they're panicking and it's why it's so enjoyable to behold.
00:12:49.840
And besides, if you're on the left and you're worried about this, what's the big deal? Remember what
00:12:56.320
you always told us? Just go build your own Twitter. It's not hard to do. So good luck.
00:13:10.780
You know, if your retirement account has been heavy on stocks for a while, um, I have some
00:13:15.660
great news for you. You've won. The value of your IRA or 401k has likely ballooned thanks to the longest
00:13:20.740
bull market run in U S history. But after every bull run comes a recession right now, stock valuations are
00:13:25.900
at historic highs only seen before the great depression and the dot-com crash. In the face
00:13:30.620
of teetering global stability, stock volatility is way up. So maybe it's time to take some of your
00:13:36.680
chips off the table, secure your winnings and your future with gold from Birchgold. That's right.

00:14:16.900
there's many different ways to access this podcast because you know, you have to be,
00:14:21.380
it's the modern world. You have to be available through every platform, including like messenger
00:14:26.040
pigeon and everything else. Um, a lot of people watch on YouTube, but, uh, probably the main way
00:14:31.360
people engage with it is the audio podcast. And if you're not subscribed to the audio podcast,
00:14:35.880
then you should definitely do that. You can go to Apple podcasts, Spotify, wherever you get your
00:14:40.320
audio podcast. Make sure that you not only are listening there, but you also hit that subscribe
00:14:43.820
button. Just a reminder for you. All right. Um, I, I want to mention this too, because it kind of
00:14:49.940
relates to what we were just talking about or very much relates to it. So right before this announcement
00:14:54.220
from Elon Musk coming in potentially as the liberator here, um, libs of Tik TOK was suspended
00:15:01.760
yesterday on Twitter. And this is a, a personal tragedy for me because that's my whole show.
00:15:08.680
Like the libs of Tik TOK account does my entire show. That's all my show prep is out the window.
00:15:13.860
If I don't have libs of Tik TOK. And, um, but the account was suspended daily wire reports,
00:15:19.180
popular Twitter account libs of Tik TOK known for exposing radical gender theories promoted by school
00:15:23.460
and teachers has been suspended for Twitter by Twitter for 12 hours for violating its rules
00:15:28.140
against hateful conduct. Babylon B CEO, Seth Dillon was the first to report the suspension with a
00:15:34.240
tweet. Uh, the vague notice from Twitter shared by Dylan's tweet simply states, we have determined
00:15:40.080
that this account violated the Twitter rules specifically for violating our rules against
00:15:43.900
hateful conduct. You may not promote violence against threatened or harass other people on the
00:15:49.460
basis of race, ethnicity, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, gender identity,
00:15:53.220
religious affiliation, age, disability, or serious disease. But I guess you can discriminate
00:15:59.380
for non-serious diseases. Um, where does, where does alopecia fall into that? Is that in a serious
00:16:06.340
thing? I think we discovered that last week it's in the serious, in the serious category. And of
00:16:09.900
course this doesn't make any sense. And this is exactly the kind of thing this is, they, they give
00:16:13.060
themselves these broad kind of meaningless categories of speech that they can police hateful conduct.
00:16:20.240
Well, who decides what's hateful exactly? Yeah. They, they pretend to define it more. They say,
00:16:25.980
well, promote violence, threaten, harass. What, what, what do you mean by harass? How do you define
00:16:31.460
that exactly? And promote violence, you might think, you know, what a term like promote violence
00:16:37.620
means. You might think that, well, promoting violence means that you're, uh, telling people to
00:16:42.000
go and commit a violent act against somebody. That's what promoting violence is in, in, in,
00:16:46.420
in the brain of a normal person. But then you remember that the, on the left, they have a very
00:16:52.180
expansive idea of what violence is. And a word can be violent. An opinion can be violent. Um,
00:16:59.720
you know, an expression on your face can be violent. And moving your fingers a certain way
00:17:04.580
could be, could be, you know, doing this. You're not supposed to do this. The okay sign, that's
00:17:08.360
violence. That's white supremacist, supremacist violence. So they give themselves these, um,
00:17:13.600
broad categories so that it's just up to them who they're going to kick out and, and, and,
00:17:19.220
or suspend. And 90% of the time, what do you know? It's a conservative account. But the libs
00:17:24.620
of TikTok thing is especially interesting because all this account does, I mean, really all it does
00:17:29.460
is just repost. Um, that's why it's libs of TikTok content from a lot of times other platforms and
00:17:37.260
say, look at, look at what this person said on TikTok. That's all the account does.
00:17:43.600
So why was it really kicked off? Because it was effective and it was effective just in alerting
00:17:50.520
people to the full insanity of leftism. Maybe that's another thing that, uh, you know, maybe,
00:17:58.040
maybe Elon Musk will liberate libs of TikTok. Donald Trump, we'll see. I can tell you one thing.
00:18:02.660
If Musk takes control of Twitter, I am going to go on a misgendering spree. I'm going to be
00:18:09.500
misgendering so hard on that platform. And of course, when I say misgender, I mean properly
00:18:15.700
and appropriately gender people according to their biological sex. Um, let's see, let's, uh,
00:18:21.340
let's go here from NBC New York. It says the man sought as a person of interest in the mass shooting
00:18:25.240
on a Brooklyn train during rush hour a day ago. Frank James has now been labeled a suspect in the
00:18:30.280
case. Um, uh, James was believed to have been taken into custody on Wednesday, according to
00:18:36.200
four police sources. So he graduated from person of interest to he is the actual suspect, which I
00:18:40.900
think we all knew was going to happen. And now apparently he's been apprehended. Not apparently
00:18:44.620
there's video footage of him being apprehended. Um, three senior law enforcement officials said
00:18:50.300
ATF agents were able to trace the gun recovered at the shooting scene to a purchase that James made
00:18:55.380
years ago. Um, then there was video also video started coming out of, um, James entering the
00:19:01.140
subway. Now it's kind of an interesting thing because there it's the subway in New York. And so
00:19:07.340
you'd think, well, there's security camera footage, security cameras everywhere. And there is, and
00:19:12.840
we saw, we saw some footage of him, of him coming in, but apparently right now there is no footage
00:19:20.260
available to anyone of the attack itself. Despite the fact that there's, uh, cameras everywhere.
00:19:30.180
Um, now listen to this part though, about James that says James has ties to Philadelphia and
00:19:35.380
Wisconsin, as well as New York, according to police. He was said to have a past criminal record
00:19:39.900
in New Jersey that includes three arrests on charges related to larceny and disorderly conduct
00:19:44.300
in 2007 and trespassing in 1992. James that's in New Jersey. Um, James also has nine prior arrests
00:19:53.200
in New York from 1992, 1998, including possession of burglary tools, criminal sex acts and theft of
00:19:59.720
service. However, he has no history on par with the violence he suspected of in Tuesday's attack
00:20:03.940
of which fish officials are aware at this time. Um, part of James's criminal history includes making
00:20:09.480
terroristic threats according to sources, but investigators said the threats were similar
00:20:14.480
to ones commonly made by those who are emotionally disturbed. Okay. So this is someone with an
00:20:20.820
extensive criminal record who's, who made terroristic threats that he eventually carried out.
00:20:28.060
He was known to the FBI. We know that he was known to local law enforcement because he's getting
00:20:33.240
arrested all the time known to the FBI. And yet they just laid, let him, let him go, let him walk
00:20:41.120
around a free man until he did something where they have no choice, but to take him into custody. And
00:20:46.600
man, how many, how many years is he even going to get in New York now?
00:20:52.240
Well, will they put them away for at least a decade? Can we, can we hope for that much?
00:20:57.420
You know, we hear about criminal justice reform
00:20:59.820
and even a lot of Republicans are very excited about criminal justice reform.
00:21:05.400
Well, this is what criminal justice reform gets you. This is what it looks like.
00:21:09.880
It looks like a career criminal committing crime after crime after crime.
00:21:17.100
And the, uh, law enforcement, everybody knows that he's a criminal, a potentially dangerous person.
00:21:22.960
And yet he is simply allowed to continue escalating in his crimes until he does something
00:21:29.860
so heinous that there is no choice, but to put them away. That that's what criminal justice reform is.
00:21:40.700
Well, my idea for criminal justice reform here, here's, here's, here's how we should be reforming
00:21:44.800
the criminal justice system. Here's my idea. Uh, what you do is you find the dangerous people
00:21:52.340
and you put them in a cage and you keep them there for a long time. So the kind of criminal
00:22:00.740
justice reform we need is the opposite of what we're getting. The kind we need is arrest more
00:22:05.980
people and keep them in jail longer. And this, this whole idea that's, um, you know, over
00:22:15.440
incarceration, too many people are going to jail or arresting too many people. Where's the evidence
00:22:21.660
of that exactly? You can look at the crime wave plaguing cities all across the country.
00:22:30.220
Well, we can all see that. How can you look at that and see these violent criminals running amok
00:22:35.200
and then come to the conclusion that the problem is that we're still arresting too many people.
00:22:41.080
Yeah. All of these violent people are on the streets. Actually, we need more of them is what
00:22:45.880
we're told by the criminal justice reform advocates. No arrest more people and put them in jail for
00:22:53.460
longer. And if you got to build more jails to, to, to house all the scumbags, then build more of them.
00:22:58.380
I'm willing to pay for that as a taxpayer. I pay for a lot of stuff that doesn't benefit me. I don't
00:23:04.580
need. Well, taking the violent people and putting them in cages where they belong and keeping them
00:23:09.980
there. That that's something that will benefit me as, as a member of the community and especially
00:23:14.340
as a father of young children. All right. I'll similar vein here. This is from WZZM in, uh,
00:23:21.520
Michigan. The Grand Rapids police department released video footage of an officer who shot and
00:23:26.840
killed 26 year old Patrick Loyola, Loyola, I believe it is, um, during a traffic stop that turned
00:23:33.160
deadly last week. And this was trending last night on, on Twitter, the video itself. Um, the incident
00:23:41.200
happened Monday, April 4th, just after 8 a.m. during the intersection of Grig Street and Nelson
00:23:45.800
Avenue. Authorities said a, uh, GRPD officer initiated a traffic stop on a vehicle with a faulty
00:23:50.580
license plate. Uh, the suspect who was driving the vehicle fled from police on foot after a physical
00:23:57.660
struggle with the officer. He was shot and killed. GRPD chief Eric Winstrom confirmed the officer
00:24:03.140
his body camera was found at the scene. So it wasn't clear how it came off. Um,
00:24:07.800
Loyola's, uh, family disputes these claims saying that his car had broken down in the street and
00:24:12.580
that he had stepped out of the car to see what the problem was when a GRPD officer arrived.
00:24:16.720
His family says he and the officer argued, then the officer got ahold of him and put him on the
00:24:20.440
ground. The officer then shot him in the back of the head. The family says the officer at the
00:24:24.380
center of the investigation has not been publicly identified. Um, the officer has been placed on
00:24:28.700
administrative leave pending the investigation. Now the video is out there. We're not going to play it
00:24:31.680
for you here. You can go and it's, you know, it's a video of someone being shot and killed.
00:24:36.420
And we, we, we've all gotten so used to watching. We talked about this last week. I mean, we've gotten
00:24:40.140
so used to watching videos of people dying. And I, I don't think that that's something we should
00:24:43.840
really be used to actually. Um, but if you want to see the video, you can, it's out there on Twitter,
00:24:48.840
um, and it's on social media. Now there's, there's still, as is always the case with these things,
00:24:57.580
a lot of facts that we don't have yet. And, but that doesn't trouble most people. Um, especially the
00:25:04.720
race hustlers who they've seen all they need to see. This is a white officer and a black suspect who
00:25:10.180
ends up dead. And for them, that's, that's it. That's all that matters. And they've already jumped.
00:25:14.580
And they've, they've come to a conclusion that they will stick with no matter what else we find
00:25:20.300
out. So we know that's how it works there. But if you actually care about the truth, then you need
00:25:25.780
more information. And that's what we should, that's what we need here. Um, I will say I'm extremely
00:25:32.440
skeptical of the claim from the family that his car just broke down. And for some reason, the cop
00:25:38.500
came and tackled him like just for, for, you know, for no reason. Um, because that's always the kind
00:25:46.960
of narrative we get in the beginning with these kinds of incidents. And it almost never, in fact,
00:25:53.260
I would, I think I would say never stands up against scrutiny. Like we're always told in the
00:25:57.900
beginning that the suspect was doing something totally, you know, it was just totally innocent.
00:26:03.460
There was nothing at all. Just walking down the street and the cop came up randomly. And that's how
00:26:07.460
the altercation began. That's always what we're told in the beginning. And then it turns out that,
00:26:11.740
no, that's not the case. Um, what we hear from the police is that this was a traffic stop.
00:26:18.360
And, um, then he took off running and the cop tried to, uh, tried to apprehend him.
00:26:25.360
And then that's the part where the video picks up and you can see,
00:26:29.040
Lioia is, uh, fighting the officer. Something happened over the course of several minutes,
00:26:33.860
trying to bring him down. At some point, the suspect gains control. You can see in the video,
00:26:39.200
he gained, he, he takes the taser away from the officer. And so now he's armed himself with the
00:26:44.640
officer's taser. And while he's struggling for the taser and they're still struggling,
00:26:49.180
the struggling again goes on for, for, for, uh, you know, several minutes. Um, that's when he gets shot.
00:26:54.800
Now here's my thing. And again, we're going to find out more information about the shooting,
00:27:02.340
what led to it, what precipitated it, uh, all that information will come out. But
00:27:08.020
here's, here's a thought. Black lives matter, right? Of course we all, no one disagrees with that.
00:27:16.620
So value your own life. Now the, the, the, the, the Patrick Lioia, the cops are trying to detain him.
00:27:30.160
He's fighting back. He grabs the taser. Nothing good can come of that. There is, there is no good
00:27:39.740
path that you go. There's, there's, there's no positive result from that decision.
00:27:46.620
Once the cops are trying to arrest you, you start fighting back. Nothing good can
00:27:50.260
possibly come of it. You are now putting yourself in a lethal situation potentially.
00:27:58.940
And especially if you, if you believe that cops are all a bunch of racist,
00:28:03.280
psychopathic murderers, then even more so, right? You're putting yourself in a lethal position.
00:28:10.380
If you actually believe that. That's the other thing that doesn't make any sense to me is because
00:28:15.300
we hear, um, about all the alleged fear of police, because they're all a bunch of, of killers.
00:28:21.740
And yet you see in these videos, people that appear, that appear to have no fear of the police
00:28:26.260
whatsoever. Like it would, it would, I would, it would never occur to me to, to fight a police
00:28:33.680
officer and try to take his taser from him. Um, I would fear the police too much to do something
00:28:41.700
like that. And also more importantly, value my own life. I want to, I, I love living my life.
00:28:49.840
I want to get home to my kids. I'm not going to do something that could quite with, there's no
00:28:53.480
positive result that's possible here. And the potential negative result is that I die.
00:28:59.580
And if I don't die, now I'm just going to go to prison for longer than I would have otherwise.
00:29:03.360
Especially if you were really doing nothing wrong whatsoever. And now you're fighting the cops.
00:29:11.800
Well, now you're going to go to jail. If you weren't doing anything wrong, then you fight it in court
00:29:15.820
and there's no reason why you should go to jail, but now you're going to go to jail.
00:29:22.180
So why not place some value on your own life? That's the first thing that jumps out at me when
00:29:27.420
I see pretty much all of these videos, the ones that BLM, you know, cherry picks.
00:29:33.820
And I watch a suspect fighting the cops, going for the weapon, doing all this. And I think what,
00:29:38.260
why don't you value your own life? Why are you willing to throw your life away for nothing?
00:29:45.960
What's the plan here? Okay. You fight the cops. That's first step. What steps two and three,
00:29:53.400
explain it to me. I don't, I don't get it. And then what's the other thing you see?
00:30:01.260
There's always, there are the people standing off filming it. And I don't know in this case,
00:30:06.980
the person who's filming, I don't know who they are. I don't know if they're related to the,
00:30:09.420
to the, uh, to anybody involved or whatever. It's a friend, but you see people standing off filming
00:30:15.480
it. And it's, it's, it's not very often that they're encouraging the person. Hey man, just,
00:30:20.900
just, just give up, fight this in court. It's not worth your life.
00:30:25.580
So they're just standing off watching, waiting for him to get shot.
00:30:30.220
What's like, what? So they have the viral video that they can put on social media.
00:30:36.000
All right. Uh, this is from Breitbart. President Joe Biden's administration is extending the federal
00:30:40.500
mask mandate for Americans traveling on commercial buses and flights while carrying out plans to end
00:30:45.000
Chinese coronavirus restrictions for border crossers and illegal aliens. So if you're crossing the
00:30:49.900
border illegally, then, uh, you don't have the restrictions, but if you want to fly in a plane,
00:30:53.600
then we're still gonna have the restrictions in place. On Wednesday, Biden Center for Disease
00:30:56.520
Control Prevention announced that the federal transportation mask mandate, which has been in
00:31:00.140
place since 2020 will remain in effect for at least two more weeks. Um, CDC continues to monitor
00:31:08.080
the spread of the Omicron variant, uh, blah, blah, blah. TSA will extend the security directive and
00:31:12.800
emergency amendment for 15 days through May 3rd. They're still doing, I mean, all you can do is laugh at
00:31:19.640
this point. They're still doing the 15 days thing. It's just, Hey guys, it's just fit really this time.
00:31:26.060
It's just 15 more days to slow the spread. And then you can, and then after two years and 15 more
00:31:33.020
days, then you can finally take your mask off on the plane. Even though there was no reason to ever
00:31:39.800
be wearing one on a plane in the first place. It's the one place where the mask mandates remain in
00:31:44.480
effect for everybody. And yet it's the one place where they are the least needed.
00:31:52.900
Despite how it may feel, despite what you, what you might think when you're, because you're on a
00:31:57.960
plane, you're 35,000 feet in the air, you're in this tin bucket shooting through the sky. And, uh,
00:32:03.420
you know, you might think it's a lot of like just recycled air and it might feel very dirty. No,
00:32:07.940
but it's, it's actually the cleanest air you're likely to breathe is in a plane, 35,000 feet in
00:32:13.060
the air. The safest place to be in pretty much every sense of the word. No reason to have masks
00:32:19.440
at all, but just 15 more days. They guys, they mean it this time, 15 more, and then we're done.
00:32:27.300
Maybe another 15 after that, but seriously, after that, we'll be good.
00:32:29.780
I want to play this clip for you. Um, because I'm not, I'm not done harping on this. Dr. Oz running
00:32:37.160
for Senate in, um, in Pennsylvania as a Republican, I'm not gonna be done harping on him before until,
00:32:43.940
until the, you know, until the race is over. So he's running for Senate as a Republican in
00:32:48.660
Pennsylvania. He just got the big endorsement from Donald Trump. Trump who said not just,
00:32:55.640
hey, you should vote for this guy. He's the lesser of two evils, but actually that he's a great guy.
00:32:59.520
He's a great leader. He's pro-life. He's super conservative. That's what, that's what Donald
00:33:02.900
Trump claimed. Um, now we know that, that Oz historically has been pro-abortion, anti-gun,
00:33:10.740
he's been leftist on pretty much everything. He was, he not only endorsed the trans kids
00:33:16.420
phenomenon, but he was one of the early adopters of it. He was cutting edge right out of the gate
00:33:24.360
or before even everyone else had come out of the gate. He was, he was out there promoting trans kids.
00:33:28.360
And, uh, here's another clip that resurfaced, as they say. Here's, uh, Dr. Oz a little while
00:33:35.480
after the Jussie Smollett hoax talking about his good, dear friend, Jussie Smollett.
00:33:39.580
What Men Want is a new movie, which everyone is going to love, and we're going to talk about it in a second.
00:33:47.440
But before you get to that, Jussie Smollett, who has been on the show, who we all adore,
00:33:51.480
uh, was recently injured. It's being called a hate crime.
00:33:55.020
I don't know if you've been able to speak to him at all.
00:33:56.580
I had, well, you know I had to check on my baby.
00:33:58.660
Exactly right. Castmate from Empire, good friend.
00:34:02.800
He is resilient, and, um, his mother raised him right. He is just, at his very core, he is love.
00:34:11.080
That's just who he is. And love is always going to win. Hankin tried, the devil tried it, but no,
00:34:19.320
But, Jussie, if you're watching this entire audience, all of us are saying we love you very much.
00:34:22.640
We love you, Jussie. Just an admirable man. Great man. We all love Jussie Smollett.
00:34:31.200
That right there is, uh, the Republican in Pennsylvania who got the Donald Trump endorsement.
00:34:40.840
Kentucky is the first state where clinics, abortion clinics, will be completely stopped from providing abortions.
00:34:46.860
The state legislator enacted a far-reaching abortion law on Wednesday,
00:34:49.260
with, uh, so many restrictions, including a 15-week ban.
00:34:52.280
The clinic said they've been forced to stop performing the procedure.
00:34:55.520
The law known as House Bill 3 takes effect immediately.
00:34:59.460
And, uh, the abortion industry in Kentucky, they're, you know, they're distraught over this.
00:35:03.180
And they're saying that they're going to, I mean, there's staff cuts.
00:35:06.620
So many people are going to lose their jobs and their livelihoods.
00:35:09.220
And, of course, uh, what I say to that is, thank God.
00:35:12.960
I mean, there's, there's, there's nothing that makes me happier than the thought of people at abortion clinics,
00:35:16.620
workers in the abortion industry losing their jobs and their livelihoods.
00:35:25.960
And, uh, and what's more is I, I hope you suffer also from losing it.
00:35:32.320
Because, first of all, because it's justice, you deserve to suffer.
00:35:35.000
But also, um, because maybe then there'll be some real atonement on your part.
00:35:39.940
Um, that's, that's something that can come from suffering.
00:35:44.320
Maybe in your suffering, you'll be able to reflect on the hideous evil you've been a part of.
00:35:51.400
You'll be able to reflect on that and have a moment of awakening and some real redemption.
00:36:02.680
Um, speaking of which, Charles Booker is a Democrat running for Senate in the state.
00:36:07.300
And, um, he yesterday posted this video of him talking to women who are just distraught over all this.
00:36:16.360
Kentucky will be essentially the first state, when they override this veto, to effectively ban all abortion.
00:36:31.060
Do they actually want to reduce abortion, help families, or do they just want to punish women?
00:36:41.800
Or do they want to just take advantage of wedge issues at your expense?
00:36:48.020
Do they really care about the Commonwealth of Kentucky?
00:36:59.200
And know that I'm going to be with you every step of the way.
00:37:11.960
You see the woman at the end there is pretty distraught.
00:37:17.800
who's very upset that she wouldn't have the opportunity, maybe in Kentucky, to murder her child anymore.
00:37:22.020
Um, you know, what you have to understand about men, especially, there is no creature in the known universe more pathetic and gross and disgusting than, uh, than the creature known as the pro-abortion man.
00:37:42.340
Which I, which I would put as even, as an even, an even more despicable character than the pro-abortion woman, even.
00:37:51.140
And I say that because I actually believe that, you know, I'm, I'm, uh, you know me, I'm archaic and old-fashioned.
00:37:56.720
I believe that men should take, uh, leadership roles.
00:38:00.740
And when it comes to protecting children, protecting the most vulnerable, and protecting women, especially young women who are taken advantage of and lied to by the abortion industry.
00:38:14.900
Like, that's an area where men need to take leadership.
00:38:17.880
And if they don't and they fail, then, uh, yeah, I, I think that they deserve even the majority of the shame.
00:38:24.320
And especially because for them, you know, the, the women who are sitting there listening to a man advocate for abortion, well, you do realize, apparently, I guess you don't, that the men who support abortion, it's, it's because it just makes their life a lot easier.
00:38:48.400
They want to be able to, the reason that they want the, quote, bans off your body, even though there is no ban on your body, the ban is concerning the body of the child, saying that you can't kill the child.
00:39:00.440
But the, the reason is because they want to use your body as an object without having to worry about any consequences, like, say, a child being conceived.
00:39:09.900
And what's more, um, if the child is conceived, they're very happy about the fact that, um, what, you're going to be the one to go and do the dirty work of having the child killed.
00:39:25.640
They get to use you sexually, get everything they want out of you.
00:39:29.160
Um, they avoid responsibility because as weak, cowardly men, that's all they care about is avoiding responsibility.
00:39:36.380
And, uh, the hard part is, is, is not, doesn't concern them.
00:39:41.480
They can, they can wipe their hands with the whole thing.
00:39:47.700
One other thing here, um, here's a good story from Coindesk.
00:39:51.260
It says a non-fungible token NFT of Twitter founder Jack Dorsey's first ever tweet could sell for just under $280, which is still $280 too much.
00:40:02.000
But the current owner of the NFT listed it for $48 million last week.
00:40:06.660
Iranian born crypto entrepreneur Sina Astavi purchased the NFT of the tweet for, I think we have it there.
00:40:19.900
Now he purchased this tweet for $3 million in March of last year.
00:40:30.740
Now, $280, $280 million is, uh, you know, or rather $2.9 million, almost $3 million.
00:40:39.400
Maybe just a slightly overpriced because I can have that tweet for free.
00:40:46.040
Like I just, I can take that tweet and screenshot it.
00:40:51.380
And we both have exactly the same thing, which is an image of this tweet, which is not worth anything.
00:40:59.980
I mean, this, this, um, as I've been saying about NFTs, I think this kind of drives the point home.
00:41:07.400
Um, when, when, when the, when the value can depreciate that quickly, it kind of shows you that NFTs, uh, the value for an NFT is totally artificial.
00:41:18.960
These are, as I've said, it's, they're basically beanie babies, digital beanie babies, but a lot, but, but a lot more worthless than beanie babies, because at least beanie babies are physical things that you can take ownership and possession of.
00:41:30.820
And at least if I, you know, if I buy a beanie baby and there may be many that look like it, but I actually have this physical beanie baby and no one else has it.
00:41:44.040
So maybe I could take some comfort in that at least.
00:41:48.880
But if I have the digital image of a beanie baby, then anyone can have exactly the same thing and it doesn't even exist.
00:42:00.980
It's based on nothing at all other than just the whims of people who are into buying NFTs.
00:42:08.640
And that's especially precarious in a country where the whims change so often.
00:42:13.940
So because of the whims of NFT collectors, last year, that tweet went for almost 3 million.
00:42:23.380
A year later, they just said, well, yeah, you know what?
00:42:25.240
I don't, we don't feel like pretending that that's worth anything this time.
00:42:28.060
Instead, we're pretending that this, that these things are worth something.
00:42:33.280
Not exactly the smartest investment strategy, I would say.
00:42:37.200
If you're a man, it's required that you grow a beanie with a sweet baby gang.
00:42:47.840
Cuppy Cupsters says, I'm not a zoologist and yet I know what an elephant is.
00:42:52.580
Saying you're not a biologist is the dumbest thing you can say in an argument about gender.
00:42:59.240
The idea that you have to be credentialed to possess even basic knowledge about reality.
00:43:05.980
Now, there, there is a, there's a place for credentialism.
00:43:10.860
Like we talked about planes, flying a passenger airline.
00:43:16.180
I think that you got to have some credentials there.
00:43:19.180
Like if you're the, if you're the captain of plane, you're the pilot.
00:43:24.440
I want to know that you've got the credentials.
00:43:26.360
You have not only experience, but you've gone through everything.
00:43:29.820
But now we say that just to simply make a statement about basic reality, you have to have degrees and everything.
00:43:39.580
And you've got to have them all up on your wall before, just to give you permission to say something like, you know, men have penises.
00:43:51.400
I decided to take Sweet Daddy Walsh's alternative option and me be more forgiving of the LeBrant's mistake.
00:43:58.320
The first time I got screamed at by baby-killing fanatics, I cried for hours.
00:44:03.600
I liked their video and subscribed to the channel.
00:44:05.660
No intention of actually watching, but little things helped.
00:44:09.480
They aren't as firm and based as they should be.
00:44:11.960
But if we support them in prayer, they could develop the virtue to double down in their defensive life.
00:44:16.340
Well, another comment about the same issue that I'll read before responding.
00:44:18.640
Major Tom Fisher says, when Matt Walsh said that there were no comments defending the pro-life YouTubers, it immediately reminded me of something I've noticed.
00:44:26.260
Entirely too few conservatives are jumping into online conflicts to provide support.
00:44:30.520
When someone openly makes a conservative point and they're getting shame for it, we need to praise them in the same comment sections people are openly decrying them in.
00:44:37.660
We can't have people openly supporting conservative positions if the end result always ends in mass hatred and loss of your platform.
00:44:43.400
Even if all you do is restate the points the person is making or providing minimal praise like so true or based, we can support people who are saying the right things by making them feel like they're not fighting alone.
00:44:56.600
And that goes back to my point of isolation where the left wants to make you feel like you're isolated.
00:45:01.700
And that isn't helped when, as you point out, somebody says the right thing, makes a correct point, stands for the truth or whatever, and they're getting killed for it.
00:45:14.200
And all the people who agree with them are kind of standing silently off to the side or maybe hiding in the bushes somewhere and like whispering, putting their thumbs up, hey, good job.
00:45:26.860
That doesn't help much because they're still getting overwhelmed by all the hatred and they're still going to feel isolated.
00:45:33.660
The best thing you could do is actually speak up and say, hey, I agree with this person.
00:45:43.620
And that did occur to me as I'm scrolling through Twitter and people responding to these YouTubers who made the pro-life video.
00:45:54.140
I didn't see one tweet speaking up in support of these two.
00:46:02.380
I would have tried to remedy that in my own small way by tweeting something in support of them until I discovered that they had apologized.
00:46:13.060
And not only that, but apparently the woman not only apologizing, but throwing her husband under the bus and saying, oh, I didn't edit it.
00:46:19.380
I didn't know he was going to put that in there.
00:46:24.260
So once you do that, I cannot support you and defend you if you aren't going to defend yourself.
00:46:33.500
Why should I take that on and have all the arrows pointed at me when you're not even going to stand next to me?
00:46:41.840
Like I'm willing to stand next to you and have and take take and share in that and have have a portion of the arrows pointed in my direction.
00:46:50.320
But I'm not going to I'm not going to have them pointed at me and then you go scurry off.
00:46:59.460
You know, so so now it's like I'm you're actually when you apologize and you renounce whatever you said, you're joining.
00:47:12.540
So you're not just leaving me alone to the mob, but you're joining them, you're adding to them.
00:47:19.880
If you want to be supported and defended, you at least have to support and defend yourself.
00:47:30.780
And this is why I despise the apologies so much.
00:47:36.480
Because for many reasons, we've talked about plenty of times.
00:47:38.940
But the main thing that gets me about it is that you are pulling the rug out from underneath of your defenders.
00:47:53.500
But then other people come to their defense and put them put themselves on the line a little bit.
00:48:04.820
And they and they say, you know what, I'm going to defend this person.
00:48:08.800
But then you hop off the limb and leave them there alone.
00:48:15.600
And once you do that, then there's nothing left to defend.
00:48:21.620
You know, if there's one thing we can be sure of, it's that Disney has seriously screwed up.
00:48:25.340
This is what happens when you when you alienate parents and you make parents feel like you're standing on the opposite end of them.
00:48:31.960
And you're trying to, you know, indoctrinate your kids.
00:48:34.400
In fact, when you when you are open about it, then people kind of get upset.
00:48:37.540
And that's why the Daily Wire is investing one hundred million dollars into creating a platform for children that's actually for children.
00:48:46.360
We've hired the VeggieTales writers to help create our first two children's shows.
00:48:50.540
Chill a time about a family of homeschooled chinchillas.
00:48:53.100
Doodles with noodles that centers on a man and his puppet giving drawing lessons.
00:48:57.600
And over the next three years, we've committed to investing one hundred million dollars into children's entertainment content.
00:49:03.060
Take it from the number one LGBT children's author in the world, because in order to change the culture, you have to make the culture.
00:49:14.460
So today you can head to dailywire.com slash subscribe and use code build the future for 45 percent off your membership.
00:49:27.140
You know, it feels always kind of cheap and easy to use a segment from The View as fodder for the daily cancellation.
00:49:36.540
But sometimes it's okay to go the cheap and easy direction in life, I think.
00:49:39.080
So we turn now to the screeching banshees of The View as they discuss Mike Pence and his views on marriage.
00:49:45.200
During the Q&A of his most recent YAF speech, Pence addressed his support for so-called traditional marriage, otherwise known simply as marriage.
00:49:51.940
But addressed it in a relatively sort of circumspect way.
00:49:57.140
If one of your children came out to you as gay, how would you respond?
00:50:03.240
I'd look them in the eye and tell them I love you.
00:50:06.520
I believe marriage was ordained by God and instituted in the law.
00:50:13.840
And the way we go forward and the way we come together as a country united, I believe, is when we respect your right to believe and my right to believe what we believe.
00:50:26.320
A political answer, mostly meaningless, but I'm not going to harp on that.
00:50:32.040
You know, we actually aren't going to come together as a country united simply by respecting each other's right to believe whatever we believe.
00:50:38.460
I mean, we obviously all have the right to believe what we believe.
00:50:41.600
You can't stop somebody from believing something.
00:50:43.540
Even in, like, North Korea, you technically have the right to believe whatever you want to believe because no one can get inside your mind and stop you from believing anything.
00:50:52.540
But acknowledging that we all have the ability to believe whatever we want to believe is not itself the basis for any sort of meaningful national unity.
00:51:01.340
And though I do acknowledge other people's right to believe whatever they believe, I certainly don't respect the beliefs themselves, necessarily.
00:51:10.760
True national unity could be forged through shared belief.
00:51:14.960
Not shared acknowledgement of everybody's right to believe what they believe, but through actually sharing in the same fundamental values and beliefs.
00:51:22.080
Not that everyone's marching lockstep and believes all the exactly the same things in every single point, but having some basic fundamental values and beliefs in common.
00:51:38.040
You take that away, then what are you uniting around?
00:51:41.600
I don't share the beliefs of the other side in this country, and I also don't respect their beliefs.
00:51:49.140
And I find their beliefs to be abhorrent, insane, and disgusting, so much so that I actually don't even respect them personally either.
00:51:58.620
In any case, this is all somewhat beside the point, I suppose.
00:52:00.580
The heckling heritans on the panel weren't discussing that issue exactly.
00:52:04.920
Instead, they offered their insights about the marriage issue.
00:52:07.020
And so we're going to go through just a brief sampling of this.
00:52:11.920
First up is the token fake conservative at the table, Alyssa Farah, who used to work for Pence.
00:52:18.280
And here's what she says and some of the other women.
00:52:24.420
And one issue that I have, or two issues I've told them, across the board, you will lose the younger generation, 35 and down,
00:52:30.840
is if you do not come around on marriage equality and climate change.
00:52:36.120
I'm someone who believes you can believe what you want in your church.
00:52:41.480
But it is the law of the land that you can marry who you love.
00:52:46.360
Having the right to choose who you want to be and not being made to feel shame is what democracy is.
00:52:53.760
Who decided that a traditional marriage is a man and a woman?
00:53:05.100
But isn't everything that exists in nature, by definition, is natural?
00:53:09.400
But is homosexuality even mentioned in the Bible?
00:53:13.980
You know, I appreciate what you're saying about your former boss and Mike Pence.
00:53:22.460
And I think that, you know, words are meaningless when your actions say differently, right?
00:53:27.040
And let's just take a look very briefly at Mike Pence's record with the LGBTQ plus community.
00:53:33.160
In 2000, he said during his congressional campaign that Congress should oppose any effort to put gay and lesbian relationships on an equal legal status with heterosexual marriage.
00:53:45.660
Now, I have to check, so don't quote me on this.
00:53:48.080
But I think that the clip you just watched actually now holds the record as, in fact, officially the dumbest 90 seconds in the history of television.
00:53:55.820
There's a lot of competition for the title, but the sheer amount of dumb packed into such a short period of time creates an incredibly, and perhaps historically, and maybe fatally potent concentration of dumbness.
00:54:08.540
So let's try our best to kind of sort through it all, starting at the beginning.
00:54:13.180
First, the pretend conservative says that she is still advising Republicans.
00:54:16.380
Now, I wish I could just assume that she's lying about that.
00:54:18.580
But unfortunately, I have no doubt that any number of Republicans would be foolish enough to take political advice from a talking head on the view.
00:54:26.600
I mean, I could definitely see somebody like Adam Kinzinger, maybe Utah's Governor Spencer Cox, paying money to hear the sage wisdom of Joy Behar's TV sidekick.
00:54:34.580
And the primary piece of wisdom she offers to these poor, dull-witted saps is that the best way to win the young generation is to give up defending marriage and the family and to become a climate change alarmist.
00:54:46.080
She didn't say it there, but I can guarantee she would also advise that Republicans lay off the pro-life stuff, maybe start adopting some pro-CRT talking points, take a friendlier stance towards gender ideology, learn to love gun control.
00:54:58.660
Well, in fact, I'm positive on that last point because apparently during another segment on the show, she conceded that no one needs an AR-15, quote-unquote.
00:55:08.120
Another concession to impress young people, I suppose.
00:55:11.460
But the problem is that you aren't going to win the young over to your side or anyone over to your side by becoming a pale imitation of your opponents.
00:55:20.800
Why would any young person go to the Republican Party to get their progressivism fix when they could just go to the Democrats and get the real stuff, pure grade, right from the source?
00:55:30.880
What are they going to choose, organic, grass-fed leftism or watered-down, pre-packaged leftism with artificial flavoring?
00:55:39.040
Next, we hear from the other woman who says that democracy is the right to choose who you want to be without feeling shame.
00:55:49.740
You don't have the universal absolute right to choose who you want to be, whatever that even means.
00:55:54.680
And you certainly don't have the right to not feel shame.
00:56:00.760
The person causing you to feel shame may be justified or not, depending on the circumstances.
00:56:05.120
But whichever is the case, you can't claim from the universe the right to be free from shame or judgment or criticism.
00:56:11.620
There's no government in the world that can protect you from those aspects of life.
00:56:18.080
Speaking of the government, none of this has anything to do with democracy.
00:56:21.680
Democracy is a political system which comes in various forms, direct democracy, representative democracy, and so on.
00:56:27.360
But democracy is not the overarching catch-all term that people seem to want to turn it into.
00:56:32.500
When somebody says democracy these days, what they really mean is stuff that I like.
00:56:40.140
Whatever they don't like or don't want is anti-democratic, which is totally nonsensical.
00:56:44.920
Then to top it all off, she claims that anything which can be found in nature is natural.
00:56:50.100
Now, this is technically true, as the word natural can be defined as existing in nature.
00:56:55.680
But just because something exists in nature or can be found in nature, that in and of itself doesn't mean that it's good.
00:57:09.980
Murder, non-consensual sex happens all over the animal kingdom.
00:57:16.320
You're really walking down a precarious path when you try to morally justify something by pointing out that it occurs in nature.
00:57:25.260
After all, the whole reason the law exists is that we are naturally inclined to behave in immoral ways.
00:57:31.100
If we weren't, then there'd be no need for any law at all.
00:57:34.260
After that, Joy Behar says that homosexuality isn't in the Bible.
00:57:42.580
Of course, I mean, aside from 1 Corinthians 6, Leviticus 20, Romans 126, 1 Timothy, Romans 127, numerous other passages.
00:57:53.020
Finally, the other dim bulb at the table gets a chance to chime in and begins by pointing out that Mike Pence opposed gay marriage in the year 2000.
00:57:59.800
You know who else opposed gay marriage in the year 2000?
00:58:03.860
Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, the entire Democratic Party, the vast majority of the country and nearly the entire world outside of this country.
00:58:18.740
This is actually a significant point that she raises inadvertently.
00:58:21.640
You know, because it does bring to mind the fact that just a couple of decades ago, nearly everyone everywhere believed that marriage was between a man and a woman.
00:58:29.700
A decade and a half later, that view had become not only unpopular but unspeakable.
00:58:33.720
Another five years after that, and nobody even knows what a man or woman is anymore.
00:58:37.180
Might this be evidence of, I don't know, a slippery slope we're thinking about?
00:58:45.840
But it's a thought process that may be beyond the capacities of the ladies of the view because it is a thought process that involves, you know, thought.
00:58:56.080
And that's why, as easy as it is to say, I will still say that today the view is canceled.
00:59:48.900
Hey there, this is John Bickley, Daily Wire editor-in-chief and co-host of Morning Wire.
