Today on the Matt Wall Show, leftists are fighting passionately to defend the profit margins of the
00:00:04.340
pharmaceutical industry, even as Big Pharma uses an entire generation of children as lab rats.
00:00:08.740
Also, federal officials hunt for the murder of a dolphin while letting the murder of five infant
00:00:13.580
children off the hook. Plus, an MSNBC analyst explains why it's a threat to free speech to
00:00:18.040
allow people to say whatever they want on social media. And a Democrat candidate for Congress
00:00:22.100
aborted her child to save the planet. Finally, in our daily cancellation, Ilhan Omar is upset
00:00:27.220
because Christians were singing on a plane. How dare they? We'll talk about all that and more
00:00:41.740
You know, a good sofa not only is really comfortable and great, but also it can change the way your room
00:00:48.560
looks and feels. If you've been listening to the show for a while, you've probably heard me talk
00:00:52.060
about Helix mattresses. Helix has left the bedroom now and they started making sofas. They just
00:00:57.120
launched a new company called Allform, and they're already making the best sofas we've
00:01:01.180
ever seen. So what makes an Allform sofa really cool? For starters, it's the easiest way that you
00:01:05.080
can customize a sofa using premium materials and at a fraction of the cost of traditional stores.
00:01:09.500
You can pick your fabric, the sofa color, color of the legs, sofa size, and shape to make sure it's
00:01:13.340
perfect for you and your home. They've got armchairs and love seats all the way up to an eight-seat
00:01:17.780
sectional. So there's something for everyone. And you can always start small and buy more seats later on if
00:01:22.160
you feel that you want your Allform sofa to grow and change with you. When you move, Allform sofas
00:01:26.820
are also delivered directly to your door. In the past, if you wanted to order a sofa, you would have
00:01:31.120
to hire somebody to come and assemble it in your home or break your back trying to put it together
00:01:34.540
yourself. Allform has simple, quick assembly where there's no tools even needed. It's as simple as
00:01:39.260
that. And if getting a sofa without trying it in store sounds a little bit risky, don't need to
00:01:42.940
worry. You get 100 days to decide if you want to keep it. And Allform is offering 20% off all orders
00:01:48.380
for our listeners at allform.com slash Walsh. So to find your perfect sofa, check out allform.com
00:01:54.800
slash Walsh. Over the past couple of years, we have watched as some of the great myths of modern
00:02:00.900
American leftism have been exposed. There's been a great unmasking, which ironically began around the
00:02:05.840
time when everyone started wearing masks. One of those myths, which we discussed last week, is that
00:02:10.220
leftists hate the police, that they're anti-cop. It turns out that the disdain for law enforcement is
00:02:16.080
really quite situationally based because it all depends on circumstance. They will, of course, call
00:02:21.360
for a cop's head on a platter and start chanting all cops are bastards and all the rest of it. If a
00:02:25.820
police officer shoots a black suspect, even if that suspect is a violent criminal who's shot while in
00:02:30.360
the process of trying to kill or injure someone, anyone viewing the reaction to such incidents in a
00:02:36.260
vacuum may erroneously conclude that the protesters just hate police in general. But as we've seen, that
00:02:43.200
hatred does not extend to the police officer who shot an unarmed woman in the Capitol building,
00:02:48.320
nor does it extend to the COVID Gestapo harassing soccer moms for bringing their kids to the playground
00:02:52.800
during lockdowns, etc. They're only anti-certain cops in certain very specific situations.
00:03:00.580
Outside of that, they're generally willing to give police an extraordinary amount of leeway.
00:03:04.880
In a similar way, we have seen that the American left are not, as they've been previously accused,
00:03:12.720
a bunch of anti-corporation, rich-hating socialists. Now, it's more accurate to say
00:03:18.660
that they're anti-certain corporations and certain rich people, but on both counts,
00:03:23.580
the list is diminishing rapidly as there are fewer and fewer corporations and rich people
00:03:27.700
remaining who have not bent the knee to left-wing orthodoxy. The ones who have demonstrated
00:03:33.120
their fealty to the leftist cause can expect to be vociferously defended by the very people who
00:03:38.860
had in the past been labeled anti-corporation. Just look at how the left has come valiantly to
00:03:44.000
the defense of Disney, pretending that one of the largest corporations in the world is a victim of
00:03:49.140
right-wing cancel culture. In fact, even when they go after the few remaining rich people who have
00:03:55.220
not bowed to them, and there's only a few, they're usually attacking that rich person on behalf of
00:04:00.840
and in defense of other rich people. So look at how they've taken the side of the Twitter
00:04:05.880
corporate board against Elon Musk. The Twitter corporate board, who, by the way, together own
00:04:11.660
almost no shares of Twitter. I think once Jack Dorsey leaves the board, he's got 2%, he's the founder
00:04:17.260
of Twitter, and he's going to be gone in a few months. And when he's gone, combined, I think they
00:04:22.160
have 1% or 2%, all of them. So they have almost no financial stake in the company, yet have claimed the
00:04:28.260
right to make decisions against the economic interests of its actual shareholders and without
00:04:33.100
allowing the shareholders to have a say. The American leftist, with his democratic principles,
00:04:39.080
sees no problem with this arrangement because he hates Elon Musk. Not because Elon Musk is rich,
00:04:44.400
but because Elon Musk is rich and not leftist. And then there is the left's relationship with
00:04:50.200
the pharmaceutical industry. Now, if there are any corporations in the entire world
00:04:55.200
who warrant extreme skepticism and constant criticism, it's big pharma. I mean, we live in a
00:05:01.480
country plagued by an opioid epidemic, addiction epidemic, and that epidemic has been largely driven
00:05:07.980
not by drugs pushed by dealers on the street, but by drugs made by the pharmaceutical industry and
00:05:13.140
prescribed by doctors who themselves are riddled by financial conflicts of interest. And yet the
00:05:19.160
leftist goes to war to protect this industry's bottom line. Bottom line. Perhaps most notably,
00:05:23.680
fighting on behalf of Moderna and Pfizer by pushing for the government to require Americans to use
00:05:29.740
their products. And that's a push that isn't over, by the way. Just this past weekend, Dr. Ashish Jha,
00:05:36.400
who's Biden's COVID advisor, appeared on Meet the Press and suggested that the White House may yet
00:05:41.500
still impose a vaccine mandate for travel. Listen. You were an advocate of a vaccine mandate when you
00:05:48.840
were on the other side of this in your private capacity here. Is that something that can be
00:05:55.260
implemented, a vaccine mandate for air travel? That's a really good question. I mean, I think,
00:06:01.480
you know, when I was, I have always believed, and certainly the early days of the pandemic,
00:06:05.900
once vaccines became available, I thought it was very important to get as many Americans
00:06:09.480
vaccinated as quickly as possible. And mandates worked. Mandates do work. We are in a different
00:06:15.620
position now, obviously, with more than 220 million Americans vaccinated, 100 million people boosted.
00:06:21.640
And so we really have to ask ourselves, what is the role of mandates moving forward? And we're going
00:06:26.180
to need to assess each of these individual situations differently. Now, there was never any good
00:06:31.940
reason to have a vaccine mandate for travel or for anything else. There especially is no reason for
00:06:37.640
it now, two years later, when almost everybody has moved on from the COVID thing. We're not doing
00:06:41.880
COVID anymore. I don't know if the good Dr. Jha realizes that. But then again, that's easy for me
00:06:46.860
to say. I'm not a pharmaceutical executive. There's still plenty of reasons for them to want mandates,
00:06:52.800
billions of reasons, in fact. The mandates are great for big pharma's profit margins. And speaking of
00:06:58.620
big pharma's profit margins, nothing over the past couple of decades has done more to help them in that
00:07:04.500
regard than the invention of gender-affirming care for children. The pharmaceutical industry
00:07:09.220
is carrying out medical experiments on kids, making billions upon billions of dollars doing it,
00:07:16.360
while the left circles its wagons around these mad scientists and insists that we must not even ask
00:07:23.200
questions about it, much less criticize. Just hand your kid over and let the medical industry do
00:07:30.040
whatever it's going to do. Don't question it. That's transphobic. There are today 300 so-called
00:07:36.640
gender-affirming clinics offering so-called therapy and so-called medical treatment to kids in the United
00:07:41.680
States. Not long ago, there was only one or two. Not long before that, there were none. Now there are
00:07:48.220
300. But the medical industry saw the market, saw the profit opportunity, took advantage.
00:07:55.980
Now millions of kids are being dosed or being put on the path to being dosed while big pharma rakes in
00:08:03.540
billions and sends its lackeys out to shield them from criticism. One such lackey is a guy named Dr.
00:08:09.860
Jack Turbin. He's a child psychiatry fellow at Stanford Medicine and also, by the way, a soulless,
00:08:17.460
monstrous hellspawn who has made it his life's work to feed as many kids as he can into the big pharma
00:08:23.100
wood chipper. A few days ago, he tweeted a common lie that we frequently hear from the big pharma
00:08:30.460
whores on the left. This is what he tweeted. He said, puberty blockers, temporary, reversible,
00:08:36.480
are more benign than going through a puberty that can't be undone. If you can't see that,
00:08:41.240
then you really need to reflect on your biases and whether you consider trans people at all when you
00:08:46.180
form your opinions. Yes, think about that for a second. A drug, chemicals being put into a child's
00:08:56.900
body, that drug is more benign than the natural processes of your child's body. A drug is more
00:09:08.700
benign than just natural growth. And this is the lie that has consigned many children and will consign
00:09:16.240
many more to a nightmarish fate. The lie that the chemical castration drugs are temporary and
00:09:23.180
reversible. It's not true. It is a lie. And the people saying it know that it's a lie. Jack Turbin
00:09:31.460
knows that it's a lie. And he knows it's a lie. We know it's a lie to start with because we only just
00:09:38.260
started recently giving these drugs to physically healthy children. There aren't any reliable long-term
00:09:44.000
studies because there couldn't be. This current crop of children are the lab rats, the guinea pigs,
00:09:49.340
the canaries in the pharmaceutical coal mine, whatever imagery you want to use. Gender affirmation
00:09:54.800
care is, quote-unquote, gender affirmation care, so-called, is experimental. The medical industry
00:10:01.620
is experimenting on kids and making billions doing it. But we do know a few things about puberty
00:10:07.880
blockers. We know that these are drugs interfering with the normal, healthy processes in the body.
00:10:14.900
We know that they intentionally stunt growth. That's what they're designed to do. Or sorry,
00:10:19.520
not designed to do. Let me clarify that. They were not designed for this purpose at all. They
00:10:24.340
weren't designed to be used by kids in the first place. They're being used off-label, but we do
00:10:29.380
know that they stunt growth. That we know for a fact. And in fact, you can even go to mainstream
00:10:34.740
sources like the Mayo Clinic, hardly a right-wing publication, and you'll be told plain as day
00:10:39.900
that the long-term effects of puberty blockers, and there are long-term effects, potentially include
00:10:45.000
stunting of growth. They can affect a child's bone density permanently. They can make children sterile
00:10:50.800
permanently. That's why the NHS website used to assure us that puberty blockers are temporary
00:10:58.600
and reversible. It used to say that. Now it doesn't. Now this is what it says on the NHS website. It
00:11:03.520
says, little is known about the long-term side effects of hormone or puberty blockers in children
00:11:08.280
with gender dysphoria. It's also not known whether hormone blockers affect the development of the
00:11:12.620
teenage brain or children's bones. Side effects may also include hot flashes, fatigue, and mood
00:11:17.620
alterations. From the age of 16, teenagers who've been on hormone blockers for at least 12 months
00:11:22.340
may be given cross-sex hormones, also known as gender-affirming hormones. These hormones cause
00:11:27.660
some irreversible changes, such as breast development caused by taking estrogen, breaking or deepening of
00:11:35.460
the voice. Long-term cross-sex hormone treatment may cause temporary or even permanent infertility.
00:11:41.260
Temporary and reversible, we're told, right? If by temporary and reversible, you mean that your child,
00:11:51.800
after taking these drugs, will forever be a physically underdeveloped, sterile adult with
00:11:57.600
brittle bones who will never have children. And that's just the start of the long-term effects.
00:12:04.800
Long-term effects that, by the way, he cannot possibly choose to fall victim to.
00:12:12.260
These is a child who can't possibly know what any of that means. He can't, you could say to a child,
00:12:18.000
well, you know, if you take this, uh, Hey, listen, little, uh, 12 year old, if you take this,
00:12:23.320
um, in the future, you might not, you know, you might not be able to have kids.
00:12:28.240
It doesn't mean anything to a 12 year old, no 12 year old, especially no 12 year old boy
00:12:33.720
wants to have kids. It's not anywhere on their radar.
00:12:36.500
So they're choosing to forgo, they're making permanent decisions for their, for their lives.
00:12:45.920
Decisions that will profoundly impact the rest of their lives. And they cannot possibly know
00:12:51.680
what they're getting themselves into or what they're giving up, which includes, by the way,
00:12:58.020
puberty itself. Okay. When you say to a child, Oh, do you want to block your puberty?
00:13:04.440
What? Hey, do you want to go through puberty or not? What does that mean to them? They don't even
00:13:10.080
know what it is. They haven't gone through it. Now, when you lie to them and you tell them,
00:13:15.800
listen, some, there are going to be some changes in your body that are happening pretty soon.
00:13:19.280
It's going to be uncomfortable. Uh, you could just put that off if you want. It'll, it'll be no
00:13:22.940
problem at all. Just take this magic pill here and you're going to put off those changes and you're
00:13:26.300
going to have the change and you're going to go through the changes later in life.
00:13:28.500
Well, that's, that's nonsense, but they're not going to know that.
00:13:36.000
And there are many other terrible effects that we know about with the, uh, with these drugs and
00:13:40.160
many that we don't because nobody has ever done this to children before. We're the first to do it.
00:13:46.480
This is historic and unprecedented in all the worst ways, but it will work out pretty well for big
00:13:54.360
pharma. And apparently that's a great consolation to the left.
00:13:58.500
As it turns out. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:16.600
policies issued by Vantus Life, not available in New York and Montana. Price is subject to underwriting
00:15:21.440
and health questions. I want to mention this right at the top because I wanted to put it into the
00:15:26.000
opening and I didn't have time to include it there. So just on this issue of puberty blockers, which
00:15:32.480
are supposedly benign, reversible, temporary, according to Jack Turbin and the Jack Turbins of the world.
00:15:40.980
And again, I don't want you to think that Jack Turbin, although he is unfortunately a very influential
00:15:45.540
voice in this world. I don't want you to think that he's an outlier. He's a, no, this is, this is,
00:15:50.980
this is the narrative. This is the official narrative that parents are being told, that kids
00:15:55.800
are being told. This is what you hear from, if you go into your gender affirming therapy, this is what
00:16:00.140
you're going to hear about temporary and reversible puberty blockers. Well, here's a, here's, this is
00:16:09.360
something that was put on the, on the trans forum on Reddit. And, um, it was posted by a parent.
00:16:16.240
This is, by the way, posted about four years ago and it sat there online and nobody really noticed it.
00:16:21.380
And over the weekend, um, someone on Twitter found this on Reddit and posted the screenshot.
00:16:27.120
And now if you go to Reddit to read the original post, it's been taken down. So the moderators over
00:16:32.840
at the trans forum on Reddit, um, have taken it down because they don't want you to see this,
00:16:36.840
but this was from a parent who was soliciting help. And this is what it says. I'll read it to you.
00:16:46.800
I have no clue what to do. Daughter can't get the bottom surgery and is becoming suicidal.
00:16:52.280
Uh, then it says, I've always been in support of my transgender daughter when she was still a boy
00:16:56.540
and started expressing a want to be a girl. I did everything right. Therapists and puberty blockers,
00:17:02.660
everything. Well, we could just pause there and say, uh, that is not doing everything right.
00:17:06.240
That actually is you every step of the way doing everything wrong and hurting your child.
00:17:11.880
So that's not everything right. It's you based on this quick summation, you did literally nothing
00:17:18.820
right. Okay. You, you faced a fork in the road and, um, one after another, and you went in the
00:17:25.520
wrong direction every single time. Um, and it continues now she's 20 and everything is falling
00:17:31.160
apart. We had to hold off on the body surgery because of cost, but now finally had enough and went and
00:17:35.840
got several consults. All have said the same thing. The puberty blockers have left her with a micro
00:17:40.900
penis. She has to get part of her vagina made with her colon. Well, one of her friends had that
00:17:47.600
surgery and even years later, it smells fairly colon-like. So this is what they're doing with,
00:17:53.400
uh, to young people. Um, they're using parts of their internal organs to make fake vaginas
00:18:08.080
Obviously my daughter is now distraught. She's in counseling, but is becoming worse and worse in
00:18:12.040
her mental state. And I'm frantic on top of this. She has never had any sexual function,
00:18:16.000
no urges, no erections, even when she tried masturbation to see if she could stimulate
00:18:19.880
herself. Nothing. The doctors say this may not change. Even after the surgery, her dating life
00:18:26.160
is dismal as well. We knew it would be hard, but it's impossible. The one man who was with her for a
00:18:30.300
while soon just became frustrated by her lack of sexual anything and broke it off. I don't know
00:18:34.320
what to do. A friend suggested I post here for advice. Please help me help my child. Well,
00:18:39.000
the tragic reality here is that, um, there is no good answer. Now the absolute wrong answer would
00:18:46.580
be to go through with any kind of surgery whatsoever, but, um, there's no great answer
00:18:51.540
because you're, because of what you have done to your child. And now he is going to live with
00:18:59.740
the consequences for the rest of his life. So what happened is that he, as a child with your
00:19:06.140
facilitation, gave up on manhood, gave up on masculinity before he'd even really experienced it.
00:19:12.960
He made a decision. He didn't make the decision. You, you made the decision and the doctors made the
00:19:22.100
decision for him about his future self. Of course the future self has no, has no say in the matter.
00:19:31.600
Um, and so now he's, he's never going to be a woman. That's never going to happen,
00:19:39.280
but also physically he's not a fully developed man. So he's, he's, uh, but he's still male
00:19:47.680
biologically and always will be. But in terms of physically and how he appears, he's just kind
00:19:53.300
of stuck in this, in this limp, this purgatory. And this is the fate of so many kids. They're going
00:20:01.000
to be languishing forever in this kind of gender purgatory where they don't really look anymore
00:20:08.340
like their actual true selves, but they'll never be the, this, the, the fantasy version that they're
00:20:15.640
trying to attain. But isn't that interesting too? Also, because, uh, we just heard from Dr.
00:20:21.880
Jack Turbin about there are no long-term side effects. Everything is reversible. Well, here we,
00:20:26.800
we hear this from a parent, micro penis, no sexual function whatsoever. Oh yeah. That's the other
00:20:36.120
thing. That's those are, those are the other long-term side effects that don't exist according
00:20:39.820
to Jack Turbin and his ilk is that, um, not only are you looking at being sterile as an adult,
00:20:48.220
but you may have no sexual function, no libido at all, no, no sexual desires.
00:20:57.380
So we have kids who are choosing, but not really choosing because, because they can't
00:21:03.440
a sterile sexless adulthood. And they're gonna have to live with that forever.
00:21:10.980
Temporary and reversible. It's just a lie. Um, okay. Let's start with this says New York for
00:21:19.900
this in the New York post is a dolphin that washed up on a Florida beach was found to have been stabbed
00:21:24.020
to death in a sick Marine murder that investigators are now trying to solve. Beachgoers discovered the
00:21:29.620
remains of the female bottlenose dolphin with a gory gash above its right eye late last month along
00:21:34.420
the shoreline. The national oceanic and atmospheric administration conducted a, uh, uh, necropsy
00:21:40.620
on the mammal and determined that it had been impaled with a spear like object. This injury was
00:21:47.980
sustained while it was alive. Official said the agency said the dolphin was likely being illegally
00:21:52.360
fed in a semi upright position before being stabbed. And now, um, federal officials are looking
00:21:59.060
into this and, uh, there could be a year in prison for the person who stabbed the dolphin
00:22:03.820
and a hundred thousand dollar fine. All right. Well, let me just say to start with, if I have
00:22:11.400
to clarify this, I am definitely 100% opposed to stabbing dolphins. I, I do not, I do not support
00:22:18.200
that at all. So whoever stabbed this dolphin, uh, and you want to give them a fine, send them
00:22:23.500
to prison. Okay. I'm fine with that. Um, but I just can't help anytime I see a story like this,
00:22:32.160
I can't help but note the contrast. And especially because now we're talking about federal officials
00:22:37.980
talking about a federal crime. Um, and so I see the contrast here. You've got a dead dolphin on a
00:22:44.160
beach that's been stabbed in the, in the head and they do an autopsy, even though I think it's pretty
00:22:50.940
clear how the dolphin died, but they did an autopsy. And now they've got federal officials
00:22:55.760
that are going to go hunt down the perpetrator of this crime and bring them to just throw the book
00:22:59.740
at them, whatever they can. Contrast that with what happened in DC a few weeks ago, where you had
00:23:09.140
fully developed infant babies, uh, five of them who were found dead in a, in a, in a, in a container
00:23:19.360
that was taken from an abortion clinic. And they also had head wounds, but in this case, they're,
00:23:25.540
they're, uh, a gash in their, their skulls have been gashed open and their brain sucked up.
00:23:33.160
And in that case, um, even though there is a lot of evidence that a federal crime was committed,
00:23:39.500
partial birth abortion is a federal crime. No autopsy was performed and no federal investigation,
00:23:46.640
and there will be no penalties whatsoever for the perpetrator. And also the other thing is in that
00:23:53.260
case, we, we know who did it. It's an abortionist Santangelo in town. We know, we, you, we know where
00:24:00.140
he is. We know where he works. So they could just march over there tomorrow and arrest him on federal
00:24:05.720
crimes and they're not going to do it. So a, a dead dolphin attracts the attention of federal officials
00:24:14.500
in our federal government, but not dead babies. And I say this and please, and I brought this up,
00:24:20.640
I pointed this out on Twitter and at all these dummies who are responding in the comments,
00:24:24.860
well, you know, we could be outraged about both. It's possible to be outraged by both men. Yeah,
00:24:29.220
I know that. But first of all, I'm not just talking about outrage here. I'm talking about criminal
00:24:36.060
penalties. And the federal government has decided that only one of these perpetrators,
00:24:41.780
the person who killed dolphins is going to face penalties while the person who killed the babies
00:24:46.920
will not. So it's not just about outrage. It's about crimes being done and punishments for those
00:24:52.220
crimes. But also in terms of outrage, yeah, I, I, you know, I, I could help but note all the people
00:24:58.280
tweeting about the dead dolphin. And of course I didn't look into it. I didn't check, but I think
00:25:03.660
you and I both know that a great number of the people who were outraged by the dead dolphin said
00:25:09.380
nothing at all about the dead babies. Um, and so yes, while it's possible to be outraged by both,
00:25:15.100
the fact is that many Americans are not outraged by both really, they're only outraged by one and
00:25:20.040
that's the dead dolphin. And even if you are outraged by both, your outrage about the dead
00:25:25.920
children should, should be overwhelmingly, um, you know, more severe than your outrage over the dead
00:25:38.140
dolphin. Like they don't even belong in the same conversation at all. A dead dolphin. That's the
00:25:45.920
kind of thing you hear about that. And you say, well, that's, uh, you know, that's too bad. That's,
00:25:49.360
that's, that's really, who stabs a dolphin? Uh, I hope they find the person who did like,
00:25:54.120
that's, that's all you got to say about the dolphin, but what happened to these children
00:26:00.700
should provoke within you a, an intense fiery rage, like at the bottom of your, right down
00:26:10.600
to the bottom of your soul, you should feel that rage. And if you don't, and instead you
00:26:17.500
feel it over the dolphin, then there is something sick within you. There's you, there's something
00:26:21.200
wrong with you. And you're not the only one, if that's any consolation, because we live in a
00:26:29.800
society that conditions people to value animal life over human life. Laws have consequences
00:26:38.540
and that's one of them. There are the practical consequences of laws, like it determines who goes
00:26:45.420
to jail and who suffers penalties, but also it, it, it has, it has a consequences at a deeper level
00:26:51.180
where if you live in a, in a country where it's illegal to kill dolphins, and if you kill a dolphin,
00:27:00.800
the federal government's going to come after you, but it's not illegal to kill babies for a lot of
00:27:05.240
people after a while, that's going to condition them. They're going to, because they live in this
00:27:08.580
environment, they, they are after a while going to see the dolphin as more valuable than the baby.
00:27:18.600
Um, and that's the fact of the matter. I mean, it, dolphins in America have more legal rights
00:27:28.060
than young babies. They have more legal rights. According to the law, they are worth more according
00:27:39.520
to the law than babies. All right. We mentioned Elon Musk before the, uh, left is still in the midst of
00:27:48.760
its, of its meltdown, uh, over this. And here was an MSNBC segment with, um, Al Sharpton who still
00:27:56.700
somehow has a show on MSNBC that I guess some people watch. I don't know how they could keep
00:28:00.820
this show going if nobody watched it, but I can't imagine. Can you imagine sitting down for an hour
00:28:05.820
and choosing to watch Al Sharpton? I can't. Some people do though. And here's what they had to say
00:28:10.820
about, uh, Elon Musk. Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, who has made a $43 billion offer for Twitter to quote,
00:28:22.260
build an arena for free speech. Musk has accused Twitter of censoring his users. Are you concerned
00:28:30.340
that what Musk is trying to do is to open up the platform for more misinformation about topics such
00:28:37.460
as COVID-19 and the 2020 election, and perhaps even allow former president Trump to get his account back?
00:28:45.260
I mean, I'm going to be honest. Elon Musk is a danger to Twitter and to freedom of speech.
00:28:52.040
He has been known to say some of the most transphobic and homophobic things to his millions
00:28:57.740
of followers. So creating an arena for hate to me, that's what that sounds like an opportunity for him
00:29:04.240
to have no consequences, to have no flags for people just to be able to do whatever it is and say
00:29:10.180
whatever they want with regardless of what kind of, um, uh, harm that it causes. So I think that
00:29:15.520
this is something that folks really need to be paying attention to because I think that Elon Musk
00:29:20.180
buying Twitter or creating this quote unquote arena would be problematic.
00:29:26.080
Did Al Sharpton just give, uh, Elon Musk a gender transition? It sounded like he said
00:29:29.560
Ilana Musk. I could be wrong. And that's, maybe that that's one way that Elon Musk could solve all
00:29:35.140
this, this, this problem for himself. If he just rebranded himself to Ilana Musk, had a gender
00:29:39.320
transition, came out as a woman, you know, he's, he's trans now. He's already an African-American
00:29:44.240
immigrant that, that, that apparently hasn't, hasn't helped him much, um, in the, uh, in the
00:29:50.860
court of public opinion. But if he was a, I mean, if he was a trans African-American immigrant,
00:29:56.160
then he, come on, he's got way too many victim points at that, at that, at that point, you have
00:29:59.620
to just let him take Twitter. Um, she says that the guest there says that Elon Musk is a danger to
00:30:06.000
Twitter and to free speech. Now on the first note, she's, she's, she's right. Actually, he is a
00:30:15.460
danger to Twitter as it is currently assembled. He is a danger to Twitter as it is, as it currently
00:30:22.080
functions. He's certainly a danger to the, to Twitter's corrupt board. Um, he's a danger in
00:30:29.500
that way, but that's, that's, that's a good thing. That's called being, he's a, another way of putting
00:30:35.620
it is he's a, he's an actual disruptor. And there are a lot of people who get credit for being
00:30:40.800
disruptors who aren't, but in this case, that's actually what, what Elon Musk is. And she also
00:30:46.740
says that he's a danger to free speech. And it's, um, a little confusing to follow the logic here
00:30:51.160
because she says he's a danger to free speech because he would turn Twitter into an arena where
00:31:00.180
you could say whatever you want. Um, no matter how much it hurts people's feelings. Well,
00:31:05.560
hold on a second. He's a danger to free speech because he'll allow people to say whatever they
00:31:11.940
want. Well, it doesn't seem to make any sense at all, does it? And, and in fact, it doesn't.
00:31:17.740
And the reason why it doesn't make any sense and it's totally incoherent and all of our
00:31:22.460
conversations really about anything, uh, descend so quickly into incoherence is that, you know,
00:31:29.440
the framework for the conversation, we're starting from a faulty premise. And in this case, the faulty
00:31:37.260
premise is that everybody cares about free speech, which they don't. Maybe there would be some chance
00:31:44.020
of us having, you know, a debate, some kind of productive debate in this country. If everybody
00:31:51.600
was just honest from the beginning about what they actually want and what they believe.
00:31:57.720
So on the left, they don't care at all about free speech. So just say that,
00:32:06.260
you know, uh, make your argument against free speech. I'm not going to, going to agree with it.
00:32:14.020
But that's your argument rather than arguing against free speech within the context of pretending
00:32:20.660
that you're trying to defend free speech. Well, there's just no hope of anything happening there.
00:32:25.120
No hope of us understanding each other. So for the MSNBC panelists there, her actual view is that free
00:32:33.540
speech is bad and she doesn't think we should have it. We should not be able to just say whatever we
00:32:39.600
want. And okay, start, that's your starting point. Make your case. I'll listen to that at least because
00:32:48.220
this, I can't listen to. I'm not going to listen to you pretend that, um, you're trying to protect
00:32:55.180
free speech by abolishing it. That doesn't make any sense. But if you could make some kind of at least
00:33:01.260
coherent, uh, robust argument against free speech, I'll at least, I'll listen to you.
00:33:06.260
You're going to have a hard time convincing me, but I'll, I will listen.
00:33:13.580
All right. Um, Chris Coons is a Senator from Delaware and he is, uh, calling on the U S
00:33:20.360
to get involved and stop Russia. And if that means a world war, then it sounds like he's perfectly
00:33:26.500
willing to, um, endure that, or at least have the rest of us endure because it's not going to affect
00:33:30.660
him much. Let's listen to that. In some public remarks this week, you said, um, the country
00:33:38.340
needs to talk about when it might be willing to send troops to Ukraine. You said, if the answer
00:33:43.760
is never, then we are inviting another level of escalation and brutality by Putin. Are you arguing
00:33:49.580
that president Biden was wrong when he said he would not send troops to Ukraine? Are you asking him
00:33:55.380
to set a red line? Margaret, I think those of us in Congress who have a critical role in setting
00:34:01.240
foreign policy, uh, and in advising, uh, the president in terms of his decisions as commander
00:34:06.920
in chief, uh, need to look clearly, uh, at the level of brutality. This is a moment of enormous
00:34:12.900
challenge for all of us. Uh, and I deeply respect president Biden's leadership in pulling together
00:34:18.640
the West in imposing crushing sanctions, uh, on Russia and in bringing to this fight countries
00:34:24.760
that had stayed on the sidelines before. I think president Biden's leadership has been steady and
00:34:30.500
constructive, but this is a critical moment. If Vladimir Putin, who has shown us how brutal he can
00:34:36.460
be is allowed to just continue, uh, to massacre civilians, to commit war crimes, um, throughout Ukraine,
00:34:44.140
uh, without NATO, without the West, uh, coming more forcefully to his aid. Um, I great, I, I deeply
00:34:50.700
worry that what's going to happen next is that we will see Ukraine turn into Syria. The American people
00:34:56.860
cannot turn away from this tragedy in Ukraine. I think the history of the 21st century turns
00:35:02.220
on how fiercely we defend freedom in Ukraine and that Putin will only stop when we stop him.
00:35:09.280
Defend, uh, yeah, we need to go to war to defend freedom in, uh, in Ukraine. You notice
00:35:14.020
how the argument has shifted quite a bit because in the, uh, you know, early on, early in, in Putin's
00:35:20.400
invasion of Ukraine, we were told that, well, we might have to get involved. Uh, we might have to
00:35:25.780
get involved and stop it because if we don't, there were all these comparisons to World War II,
00:35:30.000
right? And Hitler. And, uh, look what happened when the West didn't rise up to put a stop to,
00:35:34.940
to Hitler's campaign of invasion early on. Um, and so that was, that was the argument in the first
00:35:42.560
few weeks. I mean, up until like, it seems like just 15 seconds ago, that's what they were telling
00:35:46.260
us is that if we don't, we got to get involved potentially because if we don't, then Putin's
00:35:51.060
going to, he's going to keep going and he's going to continue his invasion and pretty much, pretty,
00:35:57.260
pretty soon is going to occupy all of Europe. Like that's, that's where this is going to head.
00:36:01.080
And they've, um, they've stepped back from that because it's very clear with the way this is
00:36:06.760
playing out. That's not going to happen. Like the issue here is Ukraine. Um, it's not Putin
00:36:14.020
continuing on. And next thing you know, he's, uh, he's in France. Like we know that they can't make
00:36:18.880
that argument anymore. That was always absurd to begin with. It's even more absurd now.
00:36:24.060
And so now it is, it is all about Ukraine itself. They're not pretending that going to war to protect
00:36:31.360
Ukraine as somehow an act of self-defense on our part, right? Not pretending that anymore.
00:36:39.180
Now it is, uh, well, we can't turn away from the atrocities in Ukraine. All these terrible
00:36:42.740
things are happening. We have to fight for freedom. And I don't deny the terrible things
00:36:47.760
are happening. And it is, it is a terrible situation. I want the war to be, I wish it
00:36:51.820
never started. I want it to be over as soon as possible. Uh, I'm not sure, you know, sending
00:36:58.180
weapons over there and any of the resources we send, I'm not sure how that will bring about a
00:37:05.680
situation where the war is going to end sooner. It seems like that's just going to prolong it.
00:37:08.960
So I want to see the war end because it's a terrible thing.
00:37:14.400
But do we have to go to war to defend the freedom of Ukraine? Um, Americans, American families,
00:37:23.160
should they, American parents, should they send their children overseas to die for the sake of
00:37:30.020
the freedom of Ukraine? The answer to that is no. All right. Um, let's see. One of the things I
00:37:35.860
wanted to mention, this is from Fox news, a Pennsylvania candidate for the U S house has
00:37:39.640
been open about her past as a part-time stripper in college and her decision to get an abortion when
00:37:44.700
she was 18. Well, she's running as a Democrat. So of course she's open about that. Those that's
00:37:48.860
just, that's, that's a resume builder right there. A stripper. She had an abortion. Um,
00:37:53.360
she, uh, also has an only fans now, of course, in a May, 2021 video, she posted a Twitter hunt
00:37:58.820
describes what led her to get an abortion a decade ago. She's now running to unseat incumbent
00:38:03.320
democratic representative Dwight Evans in the primary election. She raised a nearly $320,000
00:38:08.000
in the first quarter of 2022. And, uh, so maybe she'll be a formidable opponent, but here she is
00:38:13.300
a couple of years ago explaining why she, she, uh, had that abortion. There are a few reasons,
00:38:17.360
including climate change, by the way, let's listen. When I was 18, I was part of the 2% of
00:38:25.660
people who can get pregnant on birth control. And I found out I was pregnant and I decided that I was
00:38:33.500
not ready to bring a child into this world. And I decided to get an abortion. Uh, that decision was
00:38:41.800
made with a lot of love. I think that being pro-life is being pro-choice and that the, I,
00:38:50.100
I, as a person was not ready to bring a child into this world, but also the world was not in a state
00:38:57.960
and is not 10 years later is not in a state that I wanted to bring a child into yet, which is my
00:39:03.360
decision, uh, to make. Uh, we have a lack of jobs. My generation faces a lack of jobs, a lack of living
00:39:10.960
wage, uh, a housing crisis, an affordable housing crisis, a student debt crisis, the climate emergency,
00:39:18.440
the prison industrial complex, uh, and the, the list goes on and on. And I, I wanted to be able to
00:39:25.720
offer my child better. It's like what I just said about free speech. Like let's just, just start
00:39:33.680
with being honest with yourself and with us rather than saying you got an abortion because you love
00:39:39.460
your child. So your child deserves better than, uh, what the world has to offer. So instead you're
00:39:44.980
just going to kill him, right? It's, it's not like you can kill your child and then wait for the world
00:39:52.980
to get better, which is never going to happen. Cause we all, we live in a, in a fallen world
00:39:57.900
and there's always going to be pain and suffering in the world. So, but you can't do that. Wait for
00:40:02.140
the world to magically get better and then have that same kid later where the timing is right.
00:40:08.500
No, that, that child is dead forever. And so that of course doesn't make any sense. And rather than
00:40:13.860
trying to position abortion this way, it's something I did it for the sake of the child. I killed my child
00:40:18.120
for his own sake. It was a loving act. Just start from, from a point of honesty and say, I, I don't,
00:40:25.960
I didn't care about this, this person. This is all about me. Why should I have to make sacrifices
00:40:32.100
for him? That's not a defensible position, but that's the honest position to start there
00:40:38.580
at least. And she throws it all in there. Uh, climate change, the prison industrial complex.
00:40:45.800
You know, the great thing about that is that if you are a good mother, which I, you know,
00:40:51.300
I understand as a stripper and someone on only fans, maybe that's a lot to ask, but if you're
00:40:56.420
a good parent, then you don't really have to worry too much about the prison industrial
00:40:59.640
complex for your, as far as your own kid is concerned. That's what, that's what, because
00:41:03.940
you're going to raise them so that they don't end up going to prison. And that's going to work
00:41:09.400
like 95% of the time. If you're just a good parent, your kid's not going to end up in prison.
00:41:13.420
Um, but it's all, it all is in the end is a, is a loving act. Kill a child because you
00:41:20.860
love them. Absolutely perverse. Let's get now to the comment section.
00:41:35.420
Tom D says, I came here through Shapiro and Crowder. I'm a conservative, but I draw the
00:41:39.820
line here. Mr. Walsh is too extreme for my liking. I, I totally agree. I'm a, I'm a scary person
00:41:46.540
and very extreme. You should probably stay far, far away from me. Um, let's see. Although those
00:41:53.940
other two characters that you mentioned, they're, they're pretty extreme right-wing lunatics as well.
00:41:58.360
So I don't know. Um, let's see your point that this proves we are run by oligarchs is spot on.
00:42:05.100
When the constitution can't protect our rights, yet some billionaire can, we are flat out effed
00:42:10.200
unless we act. And Jeff says, I cannot tell you how much I enjoy you calling Elon Musk an
00:42:15.480
African-American immigrant. I think I enjoyed as much as you enjoy saying it. Well, I hope you enjoy
00:42:19.420
me saying it because that joke is not going away for as long as Elon Musk is in the news. And I think
00:42:25.340
he's going to be in the news for, you know, quite some time. Um, Courtney says, uh, daily cancellation.
00:42:31.100
I agree. My husband took a lower paying job so he could be more present at home instead of working
00:42:35.500
68 hours a week. He works 40 to 50 and comes home early. Sometimes helps me with, with the kids and
00:42:41.220
house work is life. I think they mean work fun balance, trying to teach our kids to do the hard
00:42:46.680
work first, then the fun stuff. And that's an important distinction too, because I talk about
00:42:50.060
how work is life, like work is life. Life is work. I mean, both of those things are true.
00:42:54.580
That's not to say that your job is life or that your life is your job. Yes. Your, your life should
00:43:03.620
be quite a bit bigger than your nine to five job, whatever that might be. But there are other forms
00:43:09.300
of, of work. Like if you're a stay at home mom, you don't have a job, but you do work. And that's
00:43:18.440
why there's this argument sometimes about, Oh, does being a stay at home mom, does it count as a job? Is it
00:43:22.940
a real job? Well, no, it's not a, it's not a job. You don't clock in, you don't get paid for it. It's
00:43:26.440
not a job. It's work though. See a job is just one form of work. And the point about life is that no
00:43:35.680
matter how you slice it, you work is required in order to sustain your existence. The only difference
00:43:45.160
is that now in the modern Western society, you actually have the option to not do any of that work
00:43:51.360
or not do most of it and kind of conscript someone else to do it for you.
00:43:57.700
And in fact, in, in older times, that option existed as well in a different form.
00:44:04.440
Let's see. Michael says, Matt, have you slash, will you see father stew? How do you feel about
00:44:10.360
faith-based films with profanity? The movie has an R rating for language. I personally feel there's
00:44:14.820
never an excuse for profanity in a movie. I haven't seen the movie yet. I don't know what you're
00:44:19.480
talking about. This is the Mark Wahlberg movie with Mel Gibson. And it's a true story about a
00:44:26.560
guy who I think is like an ex-con and he comes out of this hard life and he eventually becomes a priest.
00:44:33.260
And I've heard it's getting panned by the critics. So you go to Rotten Tomatoes, it's one of those
00:44:37.620
classic things where it's got like a 30% rotten score from the critics and then 98% of the audience
00:44:42.740
likes it. So that for a movie like this, I would actually be any movie that involves faith,
00:44:50.140
Christianity, the church. If it's critically acclaimed, that makes me very nervous.
00:44:56.480
So the fact that critics hate it is a real good sign for me. And Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson are
00:45:02.220
both excellent. So I am interested. I'll probably watch it. I have also heard about the profanity.
00:45:07.120
I've heard these complaints because it's actually, it may appear to be a quote unquote faith-based film
00:45:13.500
based on the content and the subject matter and some of the people involved, but it's got a lot of
00:45:21.220
harsh language. And so it actually has an R rating. How do I feel about that? I think that's a good
00:45:27.760
thing actually, because that's real. That's reality. You're trying to tell a story about something real,
00:45:34.420
something that actually happened. And you want people to be able to understand it and relate to
00:45:39.840
it and get invested in the story. And so how could you possibly tell a story about an ex-con,
00:45:47.980
a guy who lived this hard life into drugs and whatever else, and there's never any profanity?
00:45:55.660
But he gets mad at someone and you hear him say, oh gosh darn, you big meany head.
00:46:00.100
Like the minute I hear that, it takes me out of the story. It's not real.
00:46:05.640
And so what you have to ask yourself is not whether there should be profanity in the movie,
00:46:09.280
it's whether this is a story worth telling. And of course it's a story worth telling. It's a story
00:46:12.920
of redemption. So yeah, in fact, you do need harsh language. You do need cussing in movies sometimes
00:46:21.960
because it's real. Remember that was one of my big complaints about,
00:46:26.840
what's that? The football movie with Denzel Washington. Remember the Titans,
00:46:32.280
which is like a good movie. And it's got Denzel Washington, it's a football movie,
00:46:37.520
but it's PG. And so you've got all these scenes in a locker room with these high school kids and
00:46:44.720
the football players and they're arguing, they're fighting and everything. But it's only PG language
00:46:49.360
that they use and it just makes it ridiculous and takes you out of the story. So I think that's
00:46:55.760
great. Let's see. Another one says, PK Starstorm says, Matt echoing the Incredibles 2 villain
00:47:02.500
monologue during the cancellation segment, LOL. Well, I've never seen the Incredibles 2. I don't
00:47:07.340
plan on seeing it, but I do find that I very often agree somewhat with the villains in superhero
00:47:14.100
movies. Like on a rare occasion when I watch a superhero movie and I hear the villain and we get
00:47:18.480
to his big speech at the end. Oftentimes I listen to it and I think, oh, he's got a point.
00:47:25.220
Maybe that's why I can't get into the genre because they're too hard on the, on the supervillains.
00:47:28.360
I relate to them too much. I don't know what that says about me. You know, Americans used to turn
00:47:33.220
to sports to get away from politics, but the left has now made that impossible, turning them into a
00:47:37.640
stage for virtue signals and political actors. And NBA star Jonathan Isaac isn't having it. Isaac faced
00:47:43.740
heavy criticism for the media for his views on social issues and vaccines over the past few years,
00:47:47.900
and he still stood strong, which is why I'm extremely excited to announce that he's decided
00:47:51.880
to write a book with the Daily Wire called Why I Stand. Jonathan's book will be about the rise of
00:47:56.840
his basketball career, his journey into faith, and his strength to stand alone in the face of immense
00:48:01.280
pressure. The book is available for pre-order now at Amazon, so reserve your copy today.
00:48:07.200
Over Easter weekend, a video went viral, which sparked perhaps a stronger reaction than you might
00:48:15.940
expect. That is, you might not have expected a strong reaction if you've been cryogenically
00:48:20.060
frozen for the past half century and were just thought out and introduced to the internet 30
00:48:23.660
seconds ago. But anybody with a bit more experience in cyberspace knows that literally anything sparks
00:48:28.120
a strong reaction, especially anything involving politics, religion, or airplanes. If you combine the
00:48:33.660
three, you've got a real powder keg on your hands. Not literally, we hope. That brings us to this
00:48:38.860
video, which shows a group of people on a flight standing up and singing Christian worship music
00:48:44.320
on the flight. One of them is standing in the aisle with an acoustic guitar. We know that that man with
00:48:50.020
the guitar is named Jack Jens Jr. He's a pastor and the founder of Kingdom Realm Ministries, it's called.
00:48:56.120
He and his crew were traveling across Europe and into Ukraine, apparently, over the past few weeks.
00:49:00.040
We know all of this because the media has published some not so favorable stories about this incident
00:49:05.160
and Jens has actually been doxed on Twitter by the outrage mob. Some prominent people have joined
00:49:10.700
the backlash, such as Ilhan Omar, who tweeted on Saturday, quote, I think my family and I should
00:49:15.680
have a prayer session next time I'm on a plane. How do you think it will end? Yeah, some people play
00:49:21.900
music on a plane. Ilhan wasn't even there, and yet she has found a way to make herself the victim of it.
00:49:28.140
Ilhan is good at playing this game. It's like six degrees of Kevin Bacon, except instead of
00:49:33.260
connecting an actor to Kevin Bacon, she's able to connect any event in the world to her own personal
00:49:37.920
victimhood narrative. It's almost impressive. But before we address Ilhan's claims in any more
00:49:43.380
detail, let's first watch the controversial video in question.
00:49:47.380
question. Now, let me just say up front that I can very much relate to the bald guy in the
00:50:15.340
foreground staring helplessly into the camera. You can see him right there. Some of the passengers
00:50:21.220
seem to be relatively pleased with the performance, but I think I'd be reacting more like that guy right
00:50:26.320
there. This would be, in many ways, like this situation for me would be my personal help. I
00:50:32.220
appreciate the message of the song, but I really personally, from an aesthetic standpoint, cannot
00:50:38.680
stand acoustic youth pastor Christian music. The idea of being trapped in a metal tube 30,000 feet in
00:50:45.000
the air with a guy strumming his guitar two feet from my eardrums is traumatizing to think about.
00:50:49.960
If I was in an exit row, I might consider making a break for it. This is almost as bad as somebody
00:50:54.660
eating an onion bagel in the seat right next to you, an experience that I've suffered through on
00:50:57.820
more than one occasion. In those cases, with respect to the bagel chompers, I think it'd be legally
00:51:03.140
and morally justifiable for the air marshal to just escort the offender off of the plane in the
00:51:07.900
middle of the flight. I would not advocate for the same penalty for the worship team in the video
00:51:12.500
because at least their hearts are in the right place. But I do think that you should just give
00:51:17.840
people a choice before subjecting them to contemporary Christian folk music. Consent is
00:51:22.960
key. I mean, I'm Christian and I don't even like it. You can't just assume that everybody wants to
00:51:27.400
hear that. I mean, what if somebody stood up in the aisle and started yodeling? What if a polka band
00:51:31.900
played accordion music all the way over the Atlantic? What if, God forbid, Beyonce was on the flight and
00:51:36.660
started singing a cappella? I mean, where does it end? My problem is with the singing then,
00:51:41.400
not with the message. But for Ilhan Omar and the others in the online outrage brigade,
00:51:47.620
it's the opposite. And that's why none of these people complained when the cast of The Lion King
00:51:52.540
sang The Circle of Life on a Plane in Australia. Let's watch that again.
00:52:11.400
My God, it's an epidemic. Imagine being stuck in a plane with that. That's, again, my nightmare. I'm already
00:52:34.500
on a plane and then the plane turns into high school musical. That's, I cannot, I would, I just,
00:52:41.000
I'd want to be dead. And yet, if I bring my kids on a plane and they make a noise louder than a
00:52:46.600
whisper, everyone in the surrounding rows will turn around and give us icy glares of death. Like,
00:52:51.340
God forbid your kid make any sound at all. And yet, these people could turn the whole flight into a
00:52:57.120
Broadway performance. That strikes me as a double standard. Meanwhile, Ilhan Omar is looking for a
00:53:02.720
different double standard. She says that she and her family, you know, if they prayed on a plane,
00:53:07.580
people would get upset. Well, first of all, given that Omar married her brother, prayer is certainly
00:53:14.420
not the most upsetting thing that Omar does with her family. Second, I don't need to speculate about
00:53:20.040
what would happen if Muslims prayed on a plane. I was just recently on an 18-hour Qatar Airways
00:53:24.100
flight to and from Africa. Muslim prayer is so common on those flights that they actually put the
00:53:29.040
coordinates to Mecca up on the seat back screens to help facilitate it. On many flights around the
00:53:34.340
Muslim world, they'll actually play an Islamic prayer over the intercom before takeoff. Muslims
00:53:41.500
are not shy about expressing their faith loudly and publicly. Many mosques, including in the United
00:53:46.140
States, will play the Islamic call to prayer over loudspeakers throughout the day so that the whole town
00:53:51.300
can hear it. And what if any white person were to complain about any of that? What if I had whined about
00:53:56.960
the Muslim prayer on my Qatar flight? What if someone who lived near a mosque said that they
00:54:03.440
didn't want to hear the Muslim call to prayer? How would Ilhan Omar respond to that? Well, we all know
00:54:08.840
she'd rush to the scene and start vomiting words like bigotry and Islamophobia all over the place.
00:54:15.000
She's searching for a double standard, but all she needs to do is look in a mirror.
00:54:17.640
She's the one with the double standard as usual. Now, you might point out that the Muslim prayer on
00:54:22.760
flights generally happens in and around heavily Muslim areas of the world. Fair enough. But the
00:54:29.100
West is heavily Christian, not as much as it used to be, not as much as it should be, but still
00:54:33.320
predominantly Christian, according to any survey I've ever seen on the subject. So it's the same old
00:54:37.800
story here. Ilhan Omar does not believe that anything in the West should reflect the West's
00:54:44.140
dominant historical culture and religion. The Middle East is allowed to wear its Muslim culture with
00:54:49.580
pride, but the West cannot do the same with its historical Christian culture, according to Omar.
00:54:55.260
Ilhan Omar was born in Somalia, which is one of the worst places on earth. It is an absolute hellhole.
00:55:01.980
It's a wasteland, a failed state. Her family fled that place, sought refuge here, and they were
00:55:08.280
welcomed with open arms. And yet she despises her adopted home. The Christian West took her in,
00:55:14.400
elected her to Congress, made her one of the most influential people in the country,
00:55:17.900
and still she has no gratitude. She has no love for the place that saved her life or for the place
00:55:23.100
or for the people who inhabit that place. She came into this culture, our culture,
00:55:28.740
and immediately decided that the culture must change. Not just change, but be entirely dismantled
00:55:34.360
and rebuilt to reflect her own ideology and priorities. And if you think that the last statement
00:55:38.880
there is reading a little bit too much into her complaining about people singing Christian songs
00:55:42.320
on a flight, you'd be right. But I'm not reading that into her reaction to the flight video.
00:55:47.360
I'm actually just quoting her directly. Let's listen to that.
00:55:49.600
As long as our economy and political systems prioritize profit without considering who is profiting,
00:55:59.740
who is being shut out, we will perpetuate this inequality. So we cannot stop at criminal justice
00:56:08.040
system. We must begin the work of dismantling the whole system of oppression wherever we find it.
00:56:17.080
Dismantle the whole system. Gets her from Somalia and wants to dismantle it all.
00:56:22.380
And, you know, she's coming from a country that is entirely dismantled, where all the systems are
00:56:27.040
dismantled. So you'd think she would have had her fill of that by now. So the reason why her complaints
00:56:34.000
about the Christians on the flight rub some of us the wrong way is that it's consistent with a long
00:56:38.800
established theme. And that theme is Omar's lack of gratitude. And that, in fact, is a much broader
00:56:45.940
theme that encompasses more than just Ilhan Omar. We don't inculcate or encourage gratitude in any of
00:56:50.700
the people who we accept into our country or any of the people born here naturally. That's the
00:56:56.760
underlying issue. It goes a lot deeper than what she said about people singing on a plane. And it's for
00:57:02.560
this deeper underlying reason that Ilhan Omar is today. Probably not for the first time and
00:57:07.900
certainly not for the last. Canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching.
00:57:11.540
Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.
