The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 932 - Big Pharma Turns An Entire Generation Into Lab Rats

00:00:00.000 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 1.00

00:00:31.200 today on the Matt Wall Show.

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 1.00

00:02:25.820 police officer shoots a black suspect, even if that suspect is a violent criminal who's shot while in 0.79

00:02:30.360 the process of trying to kill or injure someone, anyone viewing the reaction to such incidents in a 0.66

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, 0.99

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, 0.99

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 0.84

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 0.74

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.

00:14:07.300 If you're a parent, then, you know, kids are amazing and expensive and also sometimes frankly,

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. 0.53

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 1.00

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 1.00

00:18:02.020 on, on young men. 0.98

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 0.99

00:18:19.880 herself. Nothing. The doctors say this may not change. Even after the surgery, her dating life 0.99

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, 1.00

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 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.53

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 0.96

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 0.98

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, 0.91

00:35:34.940 to Hitler's campaign of invasion early on. Um, and so that was, that was the argument in the first 0.52

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 0.97

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 1.00

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, 1.00

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 0.97

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 1.00

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 0.60

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, 0.97

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 0.99

00:41:20.860 love them. Absolutely perverse. Let's get now to the comment section. 1.00

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? 0.99

00:45:55.660 But he gets mad at someone and you hear him say, oh gosh darn, you big meany head. 0.98

00:46:00.100 Like the minute I hear that, it takes me out of the story. It's not real. 0.98

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.

00:48:06.060 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

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 0.97

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 0.77

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. 0.99

00:54:15.000 She's searching for a double standard, but all she needs to do is look in a mirror. 0.99

00:54:17.640 She's the one with the double standard as usual. Now, you might point out that the Muslim prayer on 1.00

00:54:22.760 flights generally happens in and around heavily Muslim areas of the world. Fair enough. But the 1.00

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 1.00

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 0.99

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. 1.00

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. 1.00

00:56:22.380 And, you know, she's coming from a country that is entirely dismantled, where all the systems are 0.99

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 0.99

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 0.94

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 0.99

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.
