The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 930 - Racist Libs Panic As African American Immigrant Attempts To Take Over Twitter

00:00:00.000 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, 0.96

00:00:22.240 and the ladies of The View descend into hilarious incoherence while attempting to discuss 1.00

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 0.77

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, 0.76

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. 1.00

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 0.99

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. 1.00

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.

00:13:03.240 Now let's get to our five headlines.

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

00:14:16.900 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, 0.99

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 0.99

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.

00:21:36.340 That's what it is now. Now, what could it be?

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. 0.99

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 0.97

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 0.98

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. 0.93

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, 0.98

00:28:03.280 psychopathic murderers, then even more so, right? You're putting yourself in a lethal position. 0.99

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. 0.57

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.

00:33:54.760 Yeah.

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,

00:34:17.960 not this time.

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.

00:34:37.460 Great stuff, as always, from Dr. Oz.

00:34:39.380 All right, this is from 19th News. It says,

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.

00:35:20.760 You absolutely deserve that.

00:35:23.400 I hope you lose your job and your livelihood.

00:35:25.960 And, uh, and what's more is I, I hope you suffer also from losing it.

00:35:31.200 For your own sake.

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.

00:35:56.200 That's, that's my hope for you.

00:35:59.240 In your suffering.

00:36:00.320 Which, again, you, you so deeply deserve.

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.

00:36:12.600 And he's giving them words of encouragement.

00:36:14.440 Let's listen to that.

00:36:16.360 Kentucky will be essentially the first state, when they override this veto, to effectively ban all abortion.

00:36:29.520 They are making a decision.

00:36:31.060 Do they actually want to reduce abortion, help families, or do they just want to punish women?

00:36:38.600 Do they actually want Kentuckians to be safer?

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?

00:36:51.480 Or do they just care about power?

00:36:53.760 That's what they will be telling you today.

00:36:55.820 So, remember this day.

00:36:59.200 And know that I'm going to be with you every step of the way.

00:37:01.900 Every step of the way.

00:37:03.540 Thank y'all.

00:37:04.640 Bears off our bodies. 0.99

00:37:06.460 Bears off our bodies. 0.99

00:37:08.460 Bears off our bodies. 0.99

00:37:11.960 You see the woman at the end there is pretty distraught.

00:37:14.260 She's comforting.

00:37:15.680 He's comforting the woman who's, uh,

00:37:17.800 who's very upset that she wouldn't have the opportunity, maybe in Kentucky, to murder her child anymore. 0.99

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. 0.97

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. 0.92

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.

00:37:59.060 You know, they, men should be leaders.

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. 0.97

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.

00:38:45.280 They want to be able to use you sexually. 0.82

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.

00:39:24.200 So it's great for them. 0.96

00:39:25.640 They get to use you sexually, get everything they want out of you. 0.99

00:39:29.160 Um, they avoid responsibility because as weak, cowardly men, that's all they care about is avoiding responsibility. 0.99

00:39:36.380 And, uh, the hard part is, is, is not, doesn't concern them. 0.97

00:39:41.480 They can, they can wipe their hands with the whole thing.

00:39:45.280 So that's the story of pro-abortion men.

00:39:47.220 All right.

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.

00:40:14.300 Yep.

00:40:14.660 That's, so that's the tweet there.

00:40:15.720 It's, it's, it's Jack, the first ever tweet.

00:40:17.340 And he's saying, just setting up my Twitter.

00:40:19.140 That's the tweet.

00:40:19.900 Now he purchased this tweet for $3 million in March of last year.

00:40:27.180 And now he's trying to sell it.

00:40:28.760 And he was offered 280 bucks for it.

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.

00:40:48.660 And I, you got it for $3 million.

00:40:50.480 I got it for nothing.

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.

00:41:39.260 I have this one.

00:41:41.280 No one else has the exact same one.

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.

00:41:55.920 So totally artificial value.

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.

00:42:35.720 Let's get now to the comment section.

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. 0.99

00:42:52.580 Saying you're not a biologist is the dumbest thing you can say in an argument about gender. 0.97

00:42:56.800 Well, it's credentialism on steroids. 0.95

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.

00:43:29.220 I want to know that.

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. 0.99

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. 1.00

00:43:45.600 Anyways, another comment says, where are we? 0.94

00:43:51.400 I decided to take Sweet Daddy Walsh's alternative option and me be more forgiving of the LeBrant's mistake. 1.00

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.

00:44:08.160 And prayed a rosary for them.

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.

00:44:54.980 Yeah, I totally agree with that.

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.

00:45:00.700 You're the only one who feels that way.

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.

00:45:23.920 That kind of thing.

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.

00:45:38.400 Provide a little bit of reinforcement.

00:45:41.000 So I agree with you there.

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.

00:45:50.480 And the fact that it was just all negative.

00:45:54.140 I didn't see one tweet speaking up in support of these two.

00:46:01.520 And you know what?

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. 0.99

00:46:19.380 I didn't know he was going to put that in there.

00:46:21.900 That's even worse than the apology.

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?

00:46:40.060 And this is you we're talking about.

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. 0.85

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.

00:46:56.220 Or even turn on me now and apologize.

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.

00:47:09.840 The outrage mob.

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.

00:47:18.380 So, no, you can't do that.

00:47:19.880 If you want to be supported and defended, you at least have to support and defend yourself.

00:47:27.020 If you're not willing to do that, then.

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.

00:47:47.220 Because how many times have we seen this?

00:47:48.820 Somebody says something.

00:47:52.320 They're getting attacked for it.

00:47:53.500 But then other people come to their defense and put them put themselves on the line a little bit.

00:48:00.840 You know, put themselves.

00:48:01.980 They go out on a limb.

00:48:04.080 For you.

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.

00:48:12.860 It's.

00:48:14.560 You can't do that.

00:48:15.600 And once you do that, then there's nothing left to defend.

00:48:19.980 Because you've given up.

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.

00:48:44.240 And it's called DW Kids.

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.

00:49:02.340 And that's big news.

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. 1.00

00:49:11.060 And Daily Wire is making the culture.

00:49:12.520 But the thing is, we need your help to do it.

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.

00:49:20.000 This offer ends today.

00:49:21.600 So you got to subscribe right now.

00:49:23.520 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

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.

00:49:35.000 And it is definitely cheap and easy.

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.

00:49:55.320 Let's watch that.

00:49:57.140 If one of your children came out to you as gay, how would you respond?

00:50:00.820 What would you tell them?

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.

00:50:10.820 But we live in a pluralistic society.

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.

00:51:33.120 That's where you have unity.

00:51:34.840 Because then you're uniting around that.

00:51:38.040 You take that away, then what are you uniting around?

00:51:40.760 There's nothing there.

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. 0.99

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.

00:51:56.460 So that's the situation. 0.95

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. 0.98

00:52:18.280 And here's what she says and some of the other women. 0.96

00:52:21.680 I still advise a number of Republicans.

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, 0.91

00:52:30.840 is if you do not come around on marriage equality and climate change.

00:52:34.140 The country's mind is made up.

00:52:36.120 I'm someone who believes you can believe what you want in your church.

00:52:39.240 I'm Episcopalian.

00:52:40.240 I have certain beliefs in my church.

00:52:41.480 But it is the law of the land that you can marry who you love.

00:52:44.880 And that is a good thing.

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?

00:52:58.880 Who came up with this plan?

00:53:00.260 Well, everything that exists in nature, right?

00:53:03.820 People say it's unnatural.

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?

00:53:12.120 I don't think it is.

00:53:12.800 I believe it is.

00:53:13.560 It is.

00:53:13.980 You know, I appreciate what you're saying about your former boss and Mike Pence.

00:53:19.820 I think he's lying on that tape.

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. 0.93

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. 0.76

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. 0.62

00:54:08.540 So let's try our best to kind of sort through it all, starting at the beginning. 0.90

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. 0.86

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. 0.88

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.

00:55:45.940 No part of that is true or makes sense.

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.

00:55:58.020 Now, shame may be warranted or not.

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.

00:56:15.940 Nor should the government try.

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.

00:56:38.100 Whatever they like or want is democracy.

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.

00:57:05.000 Cancer is natural in that sense.

00:57:07.180 It exists in nature.

00:57:08.940 Cannibalism exists in nature.

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.

00:57:22.980 You need to offer more than that.

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.

00:57:39.420 And she's right about that.

00:57:42.580 Of course, I mean, aside from 1 Corinthians 6, Leviticus 20, Romans 126, 1 Timothy, Romans 127, numerous other passages.

00:57:50.720 But aside from all that, it's not in there.

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.

00:58:15.560 Like, they all did too at that time.

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.

00:58:53.420 So instead they just babble nonsensically.

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.

00:59:02.260 And we'll leave it there.

00:59:03.140 Thanks for watching.

00:59:03.700 Thanks for listening.

00:59:04.240 Have a great day.

00:59:05.120 Godspeed.
