The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 977 - Navy Prepares For Battle With Pronoun Training

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Navy puts out a new instructional video teaching sailors and

00:00:04.340 other military members how to use and respect a person's preferred pronouns. We have the actual

00:00:08.880 instructional video, which we will play for you today because you have to see it for yourself

00:00:11.680 to believe it. Also, Republicans sell out on gun control, but did they actually sell out or are

00:00:15.860 they simply doing exactly what we expect them to do and what they've always done? We'll talk about

00:00:20.240 that. And a mother raises a quarter of a million dollars based on a horrific story of her son being

00:00:24.080 bullied. The only problem is that the story doesn't seem to be true. At what point will people stop

00:00:27.740 falling for these kinds of scams? In our daily cancellation, the left is justifying child

00:00:31.820 drag shows by comparing them to 90s cross-dressing comedies like Mrs. Doubtfire. But this argument

00:00:37.360 actually undermines and destroys their own premise. I'll explain why all of that and more today on

00:00:41.720 the Matt Wall Show. You know, in the past, public schools were simply neglecting foundational subjects

00:00:55.300 like math, English, science, and history. Many looked the other way. Now we see woke teachers

00:01:00.400 proudly bragging on social media about pushing radical, sometimes sexually charged propaganda

00:01:05.100 on kids as young as five years old. There are even reports of teachers secretly hosting drag shows

00:01:10.020 for students without the consent of parents, all with the blessing of unions and some members of

00:01:14.740 Congress as well. So if you want a real education for your child, you need Freedom Project Academy.

00:01:19.640 They've perfected live online learning for more than a decade. Freedom Project Academy is built on

00:01:24.900 Judeo-Christian values and classical curriculum. They're dedicated to providing mastery of subject

00:01:29.060 matter, not leftist propaganda. All you got to do is go to freedomforschool.com. That's

00:01:39.380 about this. What is a college degree worth if the average public school graduate can only read and

00:01:43.380 write at a seventh grade level? Go to freedomforschool.com. That's freedomforschool.com.

00:01:49.080 And get your child enrolled at Freedom Project Academy before spots fill up. That's

00:01:52.460 freedomforschool.com. Freedomforschool.com. Yesterday, we talked about the fact that we live

00:01:59.140 in a theocracy, not a Christian theocracy, of course. We aren't that fortunate, but a theocracy 1.00

00:02:03.840 which governs according to the leftist religion. Now, I firmly believe that leftism is the modern

00:02:09.160 equivalent of a religion and that much of what it does and how its adherents behave can best be

00:02:15.020 understood through the lens of religion. Though I also do worry that I'm insulting religion by calling

00:02:20.280 leftism a religion. After all, most religions are much more impressive, intellectually richer,

00:02:25.960 more systematically coherent, have far greater and more meaningful substance than leftism does.

00:02:32.640 Perhaps it's just better to call leftism an ideology or a political theory and leave it at that.

00:02:38.180 But that, I think, doesn't quite capture what this thing is in its fullness. It doesn't account for the

00:02:44.400 zeal of its adherents or its dogmatic nature or the faith required to believe anything that it

00:02:50.400 preaches. What makes this a religion, ultimately, is that it has its own high priests, its own sacraments,

00:02:56.060 its own holy days, its own spiritual convictions, its own tenets and dogmas, its own canon, its own

00:03:01.840 catechism. It hunts for heretics and punishes blasphemers. It exiles its apostates and calls for 0.72

00:03:08.420 complete submission to its doctrines. It has its own higher power, its own god, which is the self,

00:03:14.480 the individual ego. It may be a flimsier, weirder, less intellectually rigorous, shallower version of

00:03:22.220 religion, but it is a religion all the same. And that's how we can begin to make sense of this.

00:03:28.460 As the Washington Free Beacon first reported, quote, the Navy is training its members to create a safe

00:03:33.620 space by using proper gender pronouns in a new instructional video modeled after a children's

00:03:39.340 show. The official training video is meant to emphasize, quote, the importance of using correct

00:03:44.000 pronouns as well as polite etiquette when you may not be sure of somebody's pronouns, according to the

00:03:48.900 Navy, which late last month published the video online. The Defense Visual Information Distribution

00:03:53.900 Service touts the video as an official U.S. Navy video posted by Air Force Staff Sergeant John

00:04:00.740 Venucci. Now, if you go to the Defense Visual Information Distribution Service website, it will

00:04:05.880 connect you over to the Naval Sea Systems Command website, where you can find a longer explanation

00:04:10.640 for this pronoun video. In an article titled Empowering a Diverse Workforce, Naval Sea Systems Command

00:04:17.640 Inclusion and Engagement Projects Take Shape, we're told the following, quote, the diversity team is

00:04:23.420 creating a video series called NAV Speaks to educate and empower employees to reach their full potential.

00:04:29.160 The program started off as a TED Talks kind of video platform for the NAV Sea community to connect

00:04:34.960 employees to opportunities. The video platform bridges employees to programs, resources, and

00:04:39.620 opportunities for leadership development and career advancement. By highlighting diverse voices and

00:04:43.420 perspectives, NAV Speaks educates and empowers future leaders who will represent the community

00:04:48.200 they serve. NAV Speaks will transition to the Office of Engagement, Diversity, and Inclusion at the end of

00:04:54.560 the fiscal year. So, we go back now to the Washington Free Beacon Report with a little more added context.

00:05:00.220 It says, the video is the latest bid by the military to foster a more sensitive environment for its

00:05:04.320 members and staff. The Army mandates similar gender identity training and trains officers on when to

00:05:09.440 offer subordinates gender transition surgery, according to the Washington Free Beacon Report in March.

00:05:14.460 These programs are part of a larger push by the Biden administration to make the military

00:05:17.760 more welcoming to transgender individuals. Now, with all that in mind, it's time to actually watch

00:05:24.580 the video. And I'm sure you didn't think that you'd escape this segment without being subjected to the

00:05:28.620 video itself. You know me better than that by now. And so, here it is. This is the actual instructional

00:05:33.640 video produced by and for the Navy. While other countries are training their military members on how to

00:05:39.280 more effectively brutalize and kill the enemy, we're training ours with this.

00:05:46.100 Hi, my name is Johnny, and I use he-him pronouns.

00:05:49.340 Hi, and I'm Conchi, and I use she-her pronouns. 0.76

00:05:52.040 And we're here to talk about pronouns.

00:05:54.440 What is a pronoun? A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name,

00:05:59.740 and it's also how people refer to us in conversations.

00:06:02.780 Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone's identity.

00:06:06.580 It is a signal of acceptance and respect.

00:06:10.540 If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody?

00:06:16.620 That's a good question. A really good way to do that is to use inclusive language.

00:06:20.880 Instead of saying something like, hey, guys, you can say, hey, everyone, or hey, team.

00:06:27.360 Yeah, and now that you say that, another way that we could show that we're allies and that we accept

00:06:32.060 everybody is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails, or, like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns.

00:06:40.400 But what would I do if I misgender someone?

00:06:44.560 I think the first thing to recognize is that it's not the end of the world.

00:06:48.200 You correct yourself and move on, or you accept the correction and move on.

00:06:51.520 The most important thing I can tell you is do not put the burden of making you feel good about your mistake

00:06:57.100 on the person that you just misgendered.

00:06:59.080 Oh, thank you for telling me that.

00:07:02.060 Thank you for telling us that.

00:07:04.020 She says that we must not put any burden on the person that we just misgendered,

00:07:09.580 but that person can put all kinds of burdens on us.

00:07:12.300 In fact, we are saddled with the burden of having to adopt and affirm that individual's misconceptions about reality.

00:07:17.820 We must participate in their game of charades, whether we're in the mood for a game or not.

00:07:22.760 If that person is playing dress-up and make-believe, the burden is on us to abide by the rules of their game.

00:07:29.920 We can't simply exist and mind our own business and live the way we like.

00:07:34.140 We must live how that other person wants us to live and think the way they want us to think

00:07:39.200 and say the things they want us to say.

00:07:41.680 This is all in the name of creating a safe space for that person.

00:07:44.400 Now, if we would like a safe space of our own, a safe space from this kind of lunacy altogether, we're out of luck.

00:07:51.540 That's what we've learned in this Navy instructional video so far.

00:07:54.960 What we haven't learned, though, is anything that has anything to do with being in the Navy.

00:08:00.380 Maybe eventually we'll get around to that.

00:08:02.300 Let's keep watching.

00:08:04.000 Yeah, and another tip for you to remember their pronoun next time, it's in your mind.

00:08:10.760 Kind of go through a progression of three good things about the person using their pronoun.

00:08:16.280 So let's say the person chooses to use they, then you will in your mind go, they have a nice shirt.

00:08:24.040 They have a nice smile.

00:08:26.200 They are really smart.

00:08:27.640 So that kind of sticks in your brain.

00:08:29.360 That is so helpful.

00:08:30.280 No, it would be more like they have blue hair. 0.92

00:08:35.580 They are delusional. 0.97

00:08:37.460 They are pushy and annoying. 1.00

00:08:40.400 They can kiss my ass. 1.00

00:08:42.620 I'm not playing this game. 1.00

00:08:43.920 Am I doing that right?

00:08:44.700 See, that's the problem with this trick.

00:08:46.100 It assumes that there's anything nice to say about the kind of person who prefers the pronoun they.

00:08:51.240 Now you've got me searching for the one positive needle in this haystack of unpleasant personality traits,

00:08:58.280 and the whole thing's gotten a lot more complicated.

00:09:00.800 And what you still haven't done with this video is explain why I should care about anybody's preferred pronouns in the first place.

00:09:07.320 Why is this my problem?

00:09:09.420 Give me one good reason why I should give a damn.

00:09:12.960 Let's see what you got.

00:09:13.780 So I should just lead with my pronouns, and they may follow or not.

00:09:40.820 And if they don't, then I can just continue to use gender-neutral language.

00:09:45.240 Yes, exactly.

00:09:46.220 Just to share something with you that happened the other day at a cookout I was at,

00:09:51.220 we were talking about pronouns, and somebody was disagreeing with how different people see themselves as different pronouns.

00:10:02.340 And the argument was, if you look like a female, then it's she, her, because that's what's normal.

00:10:08.560 And if you make me call you something else, then you're infringing on my rights.

00:10:12.480 And I was really taken aback by the comment, and I really wasn't sure how to respond.

00:10:18.340 And the only thing I could really think quickly to say was, it's not about you at all.

00:10:25.340 And it's mostly and ultimately about respect.

00:10:29.560 It is about respect.

00:10:30.440 What kind of cookout in hell are you attending where people stand around talking about pronouns?

00:10:41.260 There's no way these people even eat meat, so what are they grilling?

00:10:44.300 Imagine finding yourself at a barbecue where they've got nothing but zucchini and tofu burgers on the grill,

00:10:50.420 and everyone begins every conversation by giving their pronouns.

00:10:53.460 By this lady's telling, it sounds like there was maybe one normal person who wandered into this zoo

00:10:59.560 and made the very good point that females are she, her, and it's an infringement on his free speech rights

00:11:05.240 to try and force him to call a female anything other than that.

00:11:08.600 The lady in the video, sitting next to her henpecked patsy, 1.00

00:11:11.580 whose only role is to just agree with everything she says, apparently,

00:11:15.040 is she says that she was shocked to encounter someone who feels this way.

00:11:18.680 Which, that doesn't surprise me after we filmed What is a Woman?

00:11:21.840 Of course, we encounter many people like this who are just shocked.

00:11:24.800 I mean, they can't believe that anyone exists who would disagree with these ideas that they invented 15 seconds ago.

00:11:32.180 And she insists that it's not about you, and really, this is just a matter of respect.

00:11:39.500 But see, that's the problem.

00:11:40.380 If you're telling me what I have to say, and what I have to affirm,

00:11:47.540 and the beliefs that I have to pretend that I hold,

00:11:51.580 then how is it not about me?

00:11:53.760 No, it's definitely about me.

00:11:56.880 Okay? It is.

00:11:57.840 I mean, I'm the one we're talking about, right?

00:12:00.800 Now, you see, it goes the other way around.

00:12:02.380 If you have preferred pronouns that differ from your biological identity,

00:12:06.560 and I decline to use them,

00:12:09.500 and we are talking about my own actions here,

00:12:11.920 so this is, we're talking about me, not you,

00:12:14.340 that decision on my part is not about you.

00:12:19.600 It's not an attack on you personally,

00:12:21.580 any more than I'm attacking you personally,

00:12:23.180 when I say that 2 plus 2 equals 4,

00:12:25.320 or that the sun is hot,

00:12:26.420 or that the ocean is made of water.

00:12:28.140 I am simply choosing to live in reality.

00:12:31.480 That's all.

00:12:32.760 You might prefer that I live somewhere else,

00:12:34.600 but that's not my problem.

00:12:37.080 Okay?

00:12:37.500 I am no more under an obligation

00:12:39.380 to live in your fantasy land,

00:12:42.100 because you want me to,

00:12:43.580 than I am to live, you know,

00:12:45.400 in Cincinnati, Ohio, because you want me to.

00:12:47.780 You might as well tell me,

00:12:48.500 I want you to pick up and move,

00:12:50.020 and move to Cincinnati.

00:12:50.900 Why should I do it?

00:12:51.360 Because I want you to live there.

00:12:52.180 That's where I want you to live.

00:12:53.740 What?

00:12:54.660 That's not about you.

00:12:56.560 I want you to live there.

00:12:57.460 How is it not about me?

00:12:58.260 You're talking about where I live.

00:13:01.360 I want to live in reality is where I want to live.

00:13:02.980 And you should respect my desire to exist in reality,

00:13:06.880 and to use words that make sense,

00:13:08.980 and to abide by the rules of proper grammar.

00:13:11.520 I demand that you respect that.

00:13:13.980 I'm the one demanding respect.

00:13:15.880 And if you won't,

00:13:17.420 then I am under no obligation

00:13:19.460 to respect your lack of respect

00:13:21.780 for me and for reality.

00:13:24.400 See, this is how we have to start framing this,

00:13:25.960 because it's true.

00:13:26.520 When you go around talking about your preferred pronouns,

00:13:30.380 that is a lack of respect for everybody else.

00:13:34.340 Telling me your preferred pronouns

00:13:35.660 is a lack of respect.

00:13:36.840 You are disrespecting me

00:13:38.320 by trying to impose this on me.

00:13:44.100 But I feel like we've strayed from the point here.

00:13:46.760 Right?

00:13:47.180 The real question is,

00:13:48.740 why any of this is being discussed

00:13:50.880 in an instruction video for the Navy?

00:13:53.340 Will preferred pronouns make the military

00:13:56.580 more ready, more able, more lethal,

00:13:59.600 more prepared to devastate and destroy our enemies?

00:14:03.440 Is there some sort of tactical advantage

00:14:06.020 to having service members

00:14:07.220 who possess a deep knowledge

00:14:08.540 of non-binary gender identities?

00:14:10.920 No, of course not.

00:14:12.580 Of course there is.

00:14:13.840 But we live in a left-wing theocracy.

00:14:16.700 And these are its doctrines.

00:14:19.120 And they always, always come first.

00:14:22.000 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:30.760 Many of us spend more time every day

00:14:33.480 in our office chair

00:14:34.420 than in our cars or on our beds.

00:14:36.880 That's why it's so important

00:14:37.800 to invest in the right chair

00:14:39.020 to spend those hours

00:14:39.920 with the right level of support and comfort

00:14:41.640 to get the most productivity out of your day.

00:14:44.300 X-chair has made my time at my desk

00:14:45.960 not only more productive,

00:14:47.200 but it's honestly my favorite place to sit

00:14:49.040 for any reason.

00:14:50.400 And not only does X-chair's patented

00:14:51.880 dynamic variable lumbar or DVL

00:14:56.400 but my X-chair can even give me a massage

00:14:58.260 or heat up or cool down.

00:14:59.860 It can do all of that.

00:15:00.840 And now thanks to X-chair's new FS360 armrests,

00:15:04.680 I can even adjust my armrests

00:15:06.820 to the perfect position for me.

00:15:08.640 All these unique X-chair features

00:15:10.180 help the hours at my desk

00:15:31.720 We start with this from the Daily Wire.

00:15:33.180 It says more than a dozen Republicans

00:15:34.380 joined a largely Democrat effort

00:15:35.960 to advance a gun control bill

00:15:37.500 in the Senate on Tuesday night.

00:15:39.540 Notable Republican senators,

00:15:40.820 including Senators John Cornyn,

00:15:42.300 Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell,

00:15:43.780 helped Democrats pass a procedural vote

00:15:45.480 64 to 34 a mere two hours

00:15:47.480 after the text of the bill circulated.

00:15:49.340 The bill could be passed later this week

00:15:51.420 by the Senate

00:15:52.280 and then move on to the House

00:15:53.700 where it's expected to pass.

00:15:55.340 The bill would then go

00:15:56.660 to President Biden's desk.

00:15:58.160 Notably, the 80-page legislation

00:15:59.560 includes language

00:16:00.340 on highly controversial

00:16:01.680 so-called red flag laws.

00:16:04.400 So they had, in two hours,

00:16:05.640 they had read, you know,

00:16:06.640 the entire 80-page legislation

00:16:07.880 and thought about it deeply

00:16:09.260 and decided to go ahead

00:16:10.360 and move forward.

00:16:11.400 According to Fox News,

00:16:12.600 the bill provides grants

00:16:13.720 for states that implement

00:16:15.240 their own red flag laws

00:16:16.460 and offers additional funding

00:16:17.980 for both school safety measures

00:16:19.140 and mental health services.

00:16:21.440 Cornyn, though,

00:16:22.200 claimed on the Senate floor Tuesday

00:16:23.360 that the bill

00:16:23.980 would not create

00:16:25.180 a national red flag law,

00:16:26.480 adding that states

00:16:27.400 could receive the funding

00:16:29.020 regardless of whether

00:16:29.920 they enact such a program.

00:16:32.260 Quote,

00:16:32.840 the measure also creates penalties

00:16:34.260 for straw purchases of firearms,

00:16:35.860 requires more gun sellers

00:16:36.840 to register as federally licensed

00:16:38.340 firearm dealers,

00:16:39.240 and closes the so-called

00:16:40.940 boyfriend loophole

00:16:42.060 by prohibiting gun access

00:16:43.300 for people convicted

00:16:44.140 of domestic abuse

00:16:44.980 against an intimate partner.

00:16:47.700 Gun owners of America 0.53

00:16:48.920 said in a press release

00:16:49.920 sent to the Daily Wire

00:16:50.600 that the legislation

00:16:51.280 would encourage

00:16:52.000 backdoor universal background checks

00:16:53.600 by redefining many private sellers

00:16:55.720 as gun dealers,

00:16:57.020 financially incentivizing states

00:16:58.360 to enact unconstitutional

00:16:59.480 red flag laws,

00:17:00.900 and would allow for so-called

00:17:01.980 enhanced background checks,

00:17:03.240 which are arbitrary delays

00:17:04.160 in transferring firearms

00:17:05.100 to adults not yet 21 years old.

00:17:06.780 So that's the basics of the bill.

00:17:09.340 As far as anyone knows,

00:17:10.460 again, it's 80 pages,

00:17:11.320 and they voted to move forward

00:17:13.500 with the legislation

00:17:14.160 after just two hours

00:17:15.160 of the text being made available

00:17:16.920 and being circulated.

00:17:18.260 The full list of the 14 Republicans

00:17:20.460 who voted on the bill,

00:17:21.640 there's no surprises here at all.

00:17:24.200 John Cornyn, Mitch McConnell,

00:17:25.480 Lindsey Graham, Bill Cassidy,

00:17:26.780 Roy Blunt, Richard Burr,

00:17:28.640 Mitt Romney, Rob Portman,

00:17:30.400 like I said, no surprises,

00:17:32.320 Shelley Moore, Capito,

00:17:34.200 Joni Ernst,

00:17:35.140 Lisa Murkowski, Todd Young,

00:17:37.960 and Tom Tillis are the,

00:17:40.360 and Susan Collins, of course.

00:17:41.760 How could I forget?

00:17:42.740 All decided,

00:17:43.260 the usual suspects

00:17:43.940 decided to vote for this bill.

00:17:45.880 And, you know,

00:17:47.740 the problem with the bill

00:17:49.220 are numerous.

00:17:49.800 We've talked about

00:17:50.280 most of the problems already,

00:17:51.780 starting with the fact

00:17:52.620 that none of these measures

00:17:56.140 would have done anything

00:17:57.860 to prevent what happened

00:17:59.460 in Uvalde, Texas

00:18:00.120 or what happened in Buffalo.

00:18:01.020 And we know that

00:18:03.140 because a number of these measures

00:18:05.040 were already on the books,

00:18:06.160 including the red flag laws

00:18:07.320 in New York,

00:18:08.740 and that shooting still happened.

00:18:12.100 So that's the first issue.

00:18:13.800 And the second issue,

00:18:15.000 and it goes beyond this too,

00:18:16.340 but, you know,

00:18:16.720 we don't really need to get beyond

00:18:17.760 the red flag laws

00:18:18.560 and the ways that these

00:18:20.640 are going to be used.

00:18:22.300 And, you know,

00:18:23.040 some people are saying

00:18:23.700 the red flag laws

00:18:24.460 are going to be abused

00:18:25.800 or misused

00:18:27.540 so as to disarm

00:18:30.020 and punish

00:18:30.680 the ideological opponents

00:18:32.460 of the regime.

00:18:34.120 But I wouldn't call that

00:18:35.220 a misuse or an abuse.

00:18:36.360 That's actually

00:18:36.920 what is intended.

00:18:39.620 That is, in fact,

00:18:40.660 the proper use

00:18:41.600 of these red flag laws.

00:18:42.600 That's why they're being put in place

00:18:44.220 is precisely for that reason.

00:18:48.180 To give the regime

00:18:49.320 the ability to disarm

00:18:50.740 whoever they want.

00:18:52.400 Because all they have to say

00:18:53.600 is that, oh,

00:18:54.000 there's a red flag on it.

00:18:54.800 That person might be dangerous.

00:18:57.520 Remember,

00:18:58.020 it's not that

00:18:58.720 they're saying

00:18:59.680 that if you're convicted

00:19:01.620 of a violent crime,

00:19:03.220 we're going to take

00:19:03.740 your guns away.

00:19:04.360 That's already the case.

00:19:06.440 That law's already

00:19:07.220 on the books

00:19:07.820 in, like,

00:19:09.000 15 different forms.

00:19:12.080 Okay,

00:19:12.260 if you're a violent criminal, 0.94

00:19:14.520 for one thing,

00:19:15.400 you're going to prison, 0.81

00:19:16.460 or you should be anyway,

00:19:17.380 unless you're a violent criminal

00:19:19.140 in, like,

00:19:19.600 Los Angeles

00:19:20.320 or San Francisco.

00:19:23.040 But, ideally,

00:19:24.040 you go to prison

00:19:24.620 and we don't have to worry

00:19:25.440 about you

00:19:25.960 committing acts

00:19:27.840 of violence

00:19:28.240 against the public

00:19:28.840 at that point.

00:19:30.280 So, we're not talking

00:19:31.180 about that.

00:19:31.620 What we're talking about

00:19:32.420 is someone who has not

00:19:33.560 been convicted

00:19:34.300 of any violent crime,

00:19:36.380 but which the state

00:19:37.440 declares

00:19:38.340 is a potential threat

00:19:40.520 to commit violence

00:19:41.500 in the future.

00:19:43.820 And that is,

00:19:44.760 to put up,

00:19:46.940 very mildly,

00:19:47.960 extremely subjective.

00:19:49.440 and it's up to that.

00:19:52.240 We have to trust

00:19:52.900 that the state

00:19:53.620 will have some sort

00:19:55.600 of insight

00:19:57.180 into this.

00:19:58.820 Maybe they have those,

00:19:59.780 what was it,

00:20:00.320 in Minority Report?

00:20:01.500 They had those

00:20:02.080 psychics

00:20:05.160 that they kept

00:20:05.700 in a giant vat

00:20:06.800 of, like,

00:20:07.200 petroleum jelly 0.96

00:20:08.020 with their brains hooked. 0.92

00:20:09.960 Is it, 0.96

00:20:10.220 am I making this up

00:20:11.240 or was that

00:20:11.520 in Minority Report?

00:20:13.260 That was Minority Report. 0.73

00:20:14.300 Okay, thanks.

00:20:15.160 That's what I never understood

00:20:15.900 about that movie

00:20:16.540 is that it's in the future

00:20:18.080 and they've got

00:20:20.580 all this crazy technology

00:20:21.800 and you think,

00:20:23.020 oh, they have technology

00:20:23.860 to read the future

00:20:24.560 and they don't.

00:20:25.140 They just have psychics 0.99

00:20:25.960 in a vat of petroleum jelly.

00:20:27.860 Anyway,

00:20:28.600 so is that what it's going to be?

00:20:30.280 Do they have the psychics

00:20:31.240 in the petroleum jelly

00:20:32.260 that they can,

00:20:33.140 you know,

00:20:33.380 and the psychics

00:20:34.420 will tell them

00:20:35.040 if someone's,

00:20:35.600 I don't think so.

00:20:37.280 It's up to the state

00:20:38.260 to determine

00:20:38.840 who they think

00:20:39.740 is going to be violent

00:20:40.340 in the future

00:20:40.880 and what,

00:20:42.580 we don't need to speculate

00:20:43.560 about this.

00:20:44.220 the ruling regime,

00:20:47.160 what do they consider

00:20:47.940 the red flags to be?

00:20:49.660 We already know.

00:20:52.240 If you're on the right,

00:20:53.440 then automatically

00:20:54.300 you're a suspected terrorist. 0.58

00:20:56.740 If you're, 0.65

00:20:57.500 if you're in the,

00:20:59.400 in the PTA,

00:21:00.400 if you're a,

00:21:00.800 if you're a parent

00:21:01.620 at a school board meeting

00:21:03.360 objecting to anything

00:21:05.840 that the school board

00:21:06.720 is doing,

00:21:07.500 you're a suspected 0.97

00:21:08.600 domestic terrorist.

00:21:09.560 That's a red flag.

00:21:10.800 Take the guns away.

00:21:11.540 If you don't,

00:21:14.180 if you watched

00:21:14.980 that Navy instruction video

00:21:17.020 and didn't agree

00:21:18.220 with everything

00:21:18.800 you saw in it,

00:21:19.940 then that's a red flag.

00:21:22.120 And by the way,

00:21:22.640 that's not just

00:21:23.240 that you,

00:21:23.640 you might commit

00:21:24.280 violence in the future.

00:21:25.160 You are committing

00:21:25.640 violence right now.

00:21:26.280 If you misgender someone, 0.97

00:21:27.560 that is an act of violence.

00:21:29.880 That's a genocidal.

00:21:31.160 That's,

00:21:31.500 that's murderous.

00:21:34.420 So that's how

00:21:35.040 these laws

00:21:35.380 are going to be used.

00:21:36.880 Republicans

00:21:37.260 support it anyway.

00:21:39.020 Should we be surprised

00:21:40.040 by that?

00:21:40.700 Well,

00:21:41.140 of course not.

00:21:42.760 And,

00:21:43.220 um,

00:21:43.420 if you are surprised

00:21:44.360 by it,

00:21:44.820 then I think,

00:21:46.060 and the people

00:21:46.520 who are surprised

00:21:47.140 by it still

00:21:48.540 have not quite

00:21:49.440 come to understand

00:21:52.460 that these people,

00:21:55.320 these Republicans,

00:21:56.420 the reason why

00:21:58.240 they're betraying you

00:21:59.160 is,

00:21:59.920 yeah,

00:22:00.020 we could say 0.99

00:22:00.460 that they're cowards 0.99

00:22:01.280 and that they're squishes 1.00

00:22:02.360 and all of that stuff.

00:22:04.500 Spineless.

00:22:06.120 It's not exactly it,

00:22:07.280 actually.

00:22:08.440 I mean, 1.00

00:22:08.660 they are cowards, 0.98

00:22:09.420 but that's not really 1.00

00:22:10.360 the problem

00:22:10.960 or at least the problem

00:22:12.660 goes beyond that.

00:22:13.420 The real problem

00:22:14.020 is that they don't believe

00:22:15.500 what you believe.

00:22:19.020 Okay?

00:22:19.640 So it's not as though

00:22:21.080 they believe firmly

00:22:22.700 in gun rights,

00:22:23.800 but then they were just

00:22:24.980 scared,

00:22:26.480 right?

00:22:26.840 And they were,

00:22:27.320 and they were,

00:22:27.920 they collapsed under the pressure

00:22:29.480 and decided to support

00:22:31.020 this bill anyway.

00:22:32.760 That's not it.

00:22:33.480 They don't care about gun rights. 1.00

00:22:35.640 They don't care about

00:22:36.080 any of this stuff.

00:22:36.900 They don't care about

00:22:37.500 any of the things

00:22:37.980 you care about.

00:22:38.600 They don't believe

00:22:39.240 what you believe.

00:22:41.660 They believe what

00:22:42.780 the supposed opposition believes.

00:22:47.100 They agree with the Democrats

00:22:48.280 on almost everything.

00:22:50.940 And even the disagreements

00:22:52.440 they do have,

00:22:52.860 they don't really care

00:22:53.360 that much about them.

00:22:55.800 This is the fundamental problem

00:22:57.400 with conservative leadership,

00:22:58.920 so-called conservative leadership,

00:23:00.840 pretty much everywhere

00:23:02.160 in every institution.

00:23:03.600 In government,

00:23:05.460 in media,

00:23:07.540 a lot of the conservatives

00:23:08.580 who have put themselves

00:23:09.880 into positions

00:23:10.680 of being sort of spokesmen

00:23:11.880 and leaders in media,

00:23:13.220 it's true of them.

00:23:14.280 In the churches,

00:23:16.320 in all of these areas,

00:23:18.680 we often chalk it up

00:23:19.960 to cowardice,

00:23:20.700 and that's a big part of it.

00:23:21.800 I mean,

00:23:21.980 I wrote a book called

00:23:22.720 Church of Cowards,

00:23:23.860 but even beyond that,

00:23:26.340 these people,

00:23:27.620 they don't actually

00:23:28.600 believe this stuff.

00:23:30.320 That's the first problem.

00:23:32.920 And that explains

00:23:33.860 what they did.

00:23:35.800 Now,

00:23:36.340 for a simpler,

00:23:37.800 though far more tragic case

00:23:39.720 of cowardice,

00:23:42.300 we go to Uvalde, Texas.

00:23:46.620 And the first thing

00:23:47.480 that we have to mention

00:23:48.440 down in Uvalde,

00:23:49.280 and I just saw this headline pop up.

00:23:50.920 Let me see if I can find it again.

00:23:52.640 So I just saw,

00:23:53.120 before we went on the air,

00:23:53.700 I saw this headline pop up.

00:23:54.760 This is Breaking911 on Twitter.

00:23:56.260 It says,

00:23:56.800 Rob Elementary,

00:23:57.540 the Texas school

00:23:58.400 where 19 children

00:23:59.360 and two teachers

00:23:59.860 were killed

00:24:00.460 in a mass shooting 0.90

00:24:01.060 will be demolished,

00:24:02.880 according to the Uvalde mayor.

00:24:04.360 So they're going to

00:24:04.820 demolish the school.

00:24:06.800 Now,

00:24:07.320 it's very interesting

00:24:08.120 because Uvalde

00:24:09.280 is the site

00:24:09.960 of a massacre,

00:24:13.560 right,

00:24:14.580 a horrific crime,

00:24:15.880 and it also is where

00:24:17.940 this law enforcement scandal

00:24:19.900 and cover-up

00:24:20.740 revolves around.

00:24:22.820 And they're going

00:24:23.820 to demolish it,

00:24:24.820 which seems an awful lot

00:24:27.460 like getting rid

00:24:28.020 of the evidence to me.

00:24:30.800 This is from

00:24:31.340 the Texas Tribune,

00:24:32.140 and it's worth

00:24:32.660 going to the Texas Tribune

00:24:33.620 to read the latest

00:24:34.520 on this story.

00:24:35.980 And it is a story

00:24:37.040 that just,

00:24:37.540 it really does get worse

00:24:38.660 every single day.

00:24:40.160 And you get to a point

00:24:41.100 and you think,

00:24:41.480 well,

00:24:41.540 it can't get worse than this.

00:24:42.740 This is as bad

00:24:43.300 as it could possibly get.

00:24:44.200 And then more revelations,

00:24:45.680 it gets even worse.

00:24:46.500 So it's worth

00:24:47.380 going to the Texas Tribune

00:24:48.220 to see.

00:24:49.180 They've been following

00:24:49.920 the story

00:24:50.380 and reporting on it.

00:24:52.380 But I'll read

00:24:52.940 a little bit from this.

00:24:53.720 This is the latest.

00:24:54.820 As of yesterday afternoon.

00:24:57.600 It says,

00:24:58.120 the officers in the hallway

00:24:59.040 of Rob Elementary

00:24:59.860 wanted to get inside

00:25:01.460 classrooms 111 and 112

00:25:02.820 immediately.

00:25:03.840 One officer's daughter

00:25:04.780 was inside.

00:25:05.400 Another officer

00:25:05.920 had gotten a call

00:25:06.560 from his wife,

00:25:07.140 a teacher,

00:25:07.580 who told him

00:25:07.860 she was bleeding to death. 0.89

00:25:09.820 Two closed doors

00:25:10.580 and a wall stood

00:25:11.180 between them

00:25:11.740 and an 18-year-old

00:25:12.520 with an AR-15

00:25:13.140 who had open fire

00:25:13.820 on children and teachers

00:25:14.540 inside the connected classrooms.

00:25:16.300 A halogen bar

00:25:17.160 was available.

00:25:18.240 That's an axe-like

00:25:19.020 forcible entry tool

00:25:20.100 used by firefighters

00:25:21.460 to get into rooms like this.

00:25:23.120 Ballistic shields

00:25:23.720 were arriving on the scene.

00:25:24.680 And so was plenty of firepower,

00:25:25.800 including at least two rifles.

00:25:26.940 Some officers were itching to move.

00:25:28.980 One such officer,

00:25:29.900 a special agent

00:25:30.360 at the Texas Department

00:25:31.720 of Public Safety,

00:25:32.880 had arrived around 20 minutes

00:25:34.140 after the school shooting started.

00:25:35.400 He immediately asked,

00:25:36.280 are there kids still

00:25:37.020 in the classroom?

00:25:38.440 The agent said,

00:25:39.200 if there is,

00:25:39.780 then we have to go in.

00:25:41.380 And another officer answered,

00:25:42.400 it's unknown at this time.

00:25:43.520 The agent shot back,

00:25:44.620 y'all don't know

00:25:45.040 if there's kids in there.

00:25:45.840 He added,

00:25:46.240 if there's kids in there,

00:25:47.080 we need to go in.

00:25:48.860 And then the reply came,

00:25:50.320 whoever is in charge

00:25:51.540 will determine that.

00:25:54.000 The inaction appeared

00:25:55.200 too much for the special agent.

00:25:56.540 He noted that there were still

00:25:57.360 children in other classrooms

00:25:58.360 within the school

00:25:58.960 who needed to evacuate.

00:26:00.380 Well, there's kids over here,

00:26:01.580 he said,

00:26:02.000 so I'm getting kids out.

00:26:02.960 And he went to get the kids out.

00:26:04.740 This exchange happened early

00:26:06.420 in the excruciating 77 minutes

00:26:08.160 on May 24th

00:26:09.220 that started when

00:26:09.920 Salvador Ramos

00:26:10.780 walked through an unlocked door

00:26:12.820 of Rob Elementary

00:26:13.480 and walked into the classroom

00:26:16.480 and began shooting.

00:26:18.280 And we're told now

00:26:19.240 that there were,

00:26:19.880 that there were basically

00:26:21.200 four bursts of shooting

00:26:23.680 from the shooter.

00:26:26.440 And that this continued

00:26:28.020 throughout the 77 minutes

00:26:29.460 while these officers

00:26:30.420 were outside the room.

00:26:34.200 Now,

00:26:34.860 the San Antonio Express News

00:26:36.100 reported that there is

00:26:36.920 no evidence

00:26:37.640 that officers tried the doors

00:26:39.080 on rooms 111 and 112.

00:26:40.520 They didn't even try

00:26:41.440 to open it.

00:26:42.840 This contradicts

00:26:43.520 a key assertion

00:26:44.240 by the Evaldi School

00:26:45.000 Police Chief Pete Arredondo

00:26:46.700 who told the Texas Tribune

00:26:48.340 that officers tried the doors,

00:26:49.760 found them locked,

00:26:50.580 and had to wait

00:26:51.120 for a master key

00:26:52.000 to unlock them.

00:26:53.860 So this Arredondo guy

00:26:55.460 has lied,

00:26:56.760 I mean,

00:26:57.100 has been doing nothing

00:26:57.960 but lying

00:26:58.460 from the very beginning.

00:27:00.720 And he claimed

00:27:01.360 they couldn't get into the door,

00:27:02.260 they didn't have a key.

00:27:02.800 Turns out,

00:27:03.520 the door was unlocked,

00:27:05.020 they didn't even try

00:27:06.120 to open it,

00:27:07.360 and they also had a tool

00:27:08.520 in case it was,

00:27:09.820 did turn out to be locked,

00:27:10.900 they had a tool

00:27:11.240 to open it anyway.

00:27:12.840 Here's this detail.

00:27:15.800 It says,

00:27:16.120 another officer

00:27:16.640 who entered the hallway

00:27:17.300 was Ruben Ruiz

00:27:18.420 of the Uvalde School

00:27:19.540 District Police Force.

00:27:20.620 His wife,

00:27:21.600 teacher,

00:27:22.220 Ava Morales,

00:27:23.480 had called him

00:27:23.980 on his cell phone

00:27:24.560 and told him

00:27:24.920 she was bleeding heavily.

00:27:26.700 She says she is shot,

00:27:28.160 he told the officers

00:27:28.780 on the scene.

00:27:30.060 The video from inside

00:27:31.060 the hallway

00:27:31.420 doesn't capture

00:27:32.000 what Ruiz did

00:27:32.800 inside the school,

00:27:33.680 but a DPS official

00:27:34.440 told the Tribune

00:27:35.760 that Ruiz

00:27:36.180 was soon escorted away

00:27:37.400 by other officers

00:27:38.580 on the scene.

00:27:39.180 Okay,

00:27:40.800 so,

00:27:42.140 just to summarize here,

00:27:44.100 and like I said,

00:27:44.720 there's plenty more

00:27:45.240 revelations,

00:27:45.740 you can go read

00:27:46.100 the whole article.

00:27:49.640 They're sitting

00:27:50.520 outside the classroom

00:27:51.140 for 77 minutes.

00:27:52.480 They have ballistic shields,

00:27:53.740 they have heavy firepower,

00:27:58.140 they didn't even try

00:27:59.340 to open the door,

00:28:00.560 which it looks

00:28:01.580 as though now

00:28:02.740 it was unlocked

00:28:03.480 the entire time.

00:28:04.320 They could have just

00:28:04.780 opened it

00:28:05.400 and went right in. 1.00

00:28:05.960 And this scumbag 1.00

00:28:09.760 is executing children 1.00

00:28:11.140 this entire time. 0.82

00:28:13.040 Meanwhile,

00:28:13.800 one of the officers,

00:28:15.500 his own wife,

00:28:16.280 is bleeding to death

00:28:17.280 inside the classroom.

00:28:20.380 And we hear from

00:28:22.480 other sources

00:28:23.140 that were there

00:28:23.840 that he said

00:28:25.580 he wanted to go in,

00:28:26.480 they told him

00:28:26.940 to stand down.

00:28:28.200 He refused

00:28:29.340 and tried to rush in

00:28:30.540 to save his wife

00:28:31.240 as any husband would,

00:28:32.660 and they stopped him,

00:28:34.400 detained him,

00:28:35.180 took his gun away

00:28:36.680 and brought him

00:28:38.520 out of the school.

00:28:41.540 Repeating a scene

00:28:42.440 that was very similar

00:28:43.200 to what was going on

00:28:43.980 outside the school

00:28:44.720 where there were parents

00:28:45.580 trying to rush in

00:28:46.660 to save their kids

00:28:49.140 and they were being detained.

00:28:50.820 I mean,

00:28:50.980 according to reports,

00:28:51.620 at least one person

00:28:52.220 was tased. 0.99

00:28:54.500 So these cowards 0.99

00:28:55.880 are sitting there 1.00

00:28:56.540 and doing absolutely

00:28:57.260 nothing at all.

00:28:58.620 And the people

00:28:59.360 who want to do something

00:29:00.560 to save their loved ones

00:29:02.260 are being physically

00:29:03.140 prevented from doing so.

00:29:04.300 So the physical force

00:29:06.080 is being used

00:29:06.860 against the husbands 1.00

00:29:08.440 and parents

00:29:09.160 who are trying to save

00:29:10.200 their wives and children

00:29:11.640 from certain death.

00:29:15.920 And keep something else

00:29:16.960 in mind too

00:29:17.560 because

00:29:17.920 there's this question about,

00:29:21.340 and I think there's still

00:29:22.020 a question,

00:29:22.420 we still don't know for sure.

00:29:24.460 During that 77 minutes 0.90

00:29:25.820 while the cowards 0.60

00:29:26.540 were just sitting outside 0.97

00:29:27.680 in fear,

00:29:28.740 afraid to move,

00:29:30.140 we still don't know

00:29:30.780 for sure how many kids

00:29:32.040 were shot during that time.

00:29:33.380 Most of the shooting

00:29:34.440 happened in the three minutes

00:29:35.940 before cops arrived

00:29:37.060 on the scene.

00:29:38.160 But we do know

00:29:39.080 that he continued to fire,

00:29:40.160 so there were kids

00:29:40.840 being killed,

00:29:41.380 there were victims

00:29:41.840 being claimed

00:29:42.560 that entire time.

00:29:44.460 There were also people

00:29:45.560 that were shot

00:29:46.340 in the first three minutes

00:29:47.580 and were bleeding to death

00:29:48.640 like this officer's wife. 0.99

00:29:52.000 But then there's

00:29:52.620 something else too

00:29:53.200 that along with the physical,

00:30:00.160 trying to save

00:30:00.960 these kids physically.

00:30:03.680 Just the idea

00:30:04.440 of leaving kids

00:30:05.560 in that classroom,

00:30:08.600 in that situation

00:30:10.100 for over an hour,

00:30:13.080 I mean,

00:30:13.400 the unimaginable

00:30:14.540 psychological

00:30:15.320 and emotional toll

00:30:16.520 that that must take

00:30:17.260 on these kids.

00:30:18.200 They have to live with it

00:30:18.960 for the rest of their lives.

00:30:21.220 Can you imagine

00:30:21.820 what that was?

00:30:22.520 I mean,

00:30:22.880 you can't,

00:30:23.320 nobody can.

00:30:25.140 To be an eight-year-old kid

00:30:26.960 hiding under a desk

00:30:29.220 inside this classroom

00:30:31.400 for over an hour

00:30:32.620 while your friends

00:30:34.220 are bleeding to death

00:30:35.120 all around you

00:30:35.860 and there's this crazed gunman

00:30:37.740 just walking around

00:30:38.760 taunting you,

00:30:39.400 that's,

00:30:41.140 I don't think you

00:30:41.860 ever fully recover.

00:30:42.880 There's no way

00:30:43.200 to fully recover

00:30:43.760 from the psychological

00:30:44.560 trauma there.

00:30:46.940 And my point is

00:30:47.860 that that would be

00:30:48.920 reason enough.

00:30:50.460 Aside from actually

00:30:51.320 saving the lives

00:30:52.500 of the kids

00:30:53.060 who had not yet

00:30:53.600 been murdered,

00:30:54.660 just saving them

00:30:57.040 from the psychological

00:30:57.780 and emotional trauma

00:30:58.560 is reason enough

00:30:59.380 to go in there

00:30:59.840 and risk your own life

00:31:00.560 in the process.

00:31:03.280 So this is,

00:31:04.060 this is obviously cowardice,

00:31:05.520 but of a particular kind.

00:31:07.220 Yes,

00:31:07.640 they feared for their safety,

00:31:09.200 you know,

00:31:09.360 so it's physical cowardice,

00:31:10.820 but it's also moral cowardice

00:31:12.940 because that's the one thing

00:31:14.160 that comes,

00:31:14.660 comes out

00:31:15.080 from all the reports

00:31:16.580 we're reading now

00:31:17.300 as there are more

00:31:19.120 and more revelations

00:31:19.880 every single day

00:31:20.620 is that everybody

00:31:21.900 was waiting around

00:31:22.920 for the order.

00:31:24.660 All right,

00:31:25.180 we just heard

00:31:25.700 how the one,

00:31:26.480 you know,

00:31:27.340 law enforcement officer

00:31:28.100 shows up,

00:31:28.620 he says,

00:31:28.860 why aren't we going in?

00:31:29.660 Oh,

00:31:29.820 we're waiting for the order.

00:31:30.680 We're waiting.

00:31:32.120 Waiting to be given an order.

00:31:34.340 And then the police chief,

00:31:35.660 that soft,

00:31:36.780 puffy,

00:31:37.240 pudgy,

00:31:37.560 little, 1.00

00:31:37.940 worthless coward, 1.00

00:31:38.720 Arradondo, 1.00

00:31:39.700 he was there

00:31:40.480 and he was waiting around

00:31:41.300 for whatever he was waiting for,

00:31:42.340 a sign from heaven,

00:31:42.980 I don't know.

00:31:44.520 And so everyone's just waiting

00:31:45.680 because nobody wants

00:31:47.400 to make the call.

00:31:49.420 That's what this is.

00:31:50.320 It's a physical cowardice

00:31:51.780 of they didn't want

00:31:52.340 to put their own lives

00:31:53.860 on the line,

00:31:54.420 obviously,

00:31:54.800 even though that's the job

00:31:55.700 they signed up for.

00:31:57.840 But there's also

00:31:58.580 the moral cowardice

00:31:59.720 of not wanting

00:32:00.780 to make the call,

00:32:01.920 not wanting to be the one

00:32:02.980 to say it's time to go in.

00:32:05.720 Okay,

00:32:05.900 you want to hide behind

00:32:06.940 the order.

00:32:07.780 Someone gives you the order

00:32:08.460 because finally

00:32:09.480 when the order was given

00:32:10.660 and it was clear,

00:32:12.140 like,

00:32:12.340 finally they did go in

00:32:13.640 after it was far too late

00:32:15.240 for a lot of those kids.

00:32:16.100 But that's,

00:32:19.780 I think,

00:32:20.380 much of the cowardice

00:32:21.420 that was going on that day.

00:32:24.500 Hiding behind the order.

00:32:25.480 You want to get the order

00:32:26.280 for someone

00:32:26.860 so that if it goes wrong,

00:32:28.380 you can blame them.

00:32:31.300 And that to me is even,

00:32:32.440 that's even sicker

00:32:33.660 than the physical cowardice

00:32:36.100 part of it. 0.94

00:32:36.980 As sick 0.95

00:32:37.580 and revolting 1.00

00:32:38.740 and pathetic 1.00

00:32:39.480 as that is. 0.98

00:32:40.140 the fact that

00:32:42.680 all those men,

00:32:45.100 so-called alleged men,

00:32:46.400 were outside that classroom

00:32:47.720 worried for their physical safety

00:32:50.620 but also thinking to themselves,

00:32:52.220 well,

00:32:52.700 if this goes wrong,

00:32:53.920 I need to be able

00:32:54.520 to blame somebody.

00:32:55.480 I don't want to go in myself.

00:32:57.880 You know,

00:32:58.120 we need a higher up

00:32:58.820 to order it

00:32:59.620 so that then we can blame them

00:33:02.440 if it doesn't go well.

00:33:04.860 That's part of the calculation

00:33:05.900 as they're sitting outside

00:33:06.560 the classroom

00:33:07.020 and kids are dying

00:33:08.220 is,

00:33:09.880 how do I protect my, 1.00

00:33:11.240 how do I protect my own ass? 0.99

00:33:12.560 Physically and also 0.99

00:33:13.340 just career advancement

00:33:14.360 and everything else.

00:33:17.300 All right,

00:33:17.880 this is from the Daily Wire.

00:33:19.260 It says,

00:33:19.480 on Tuesday,

00:33:20.040 the Supreme Court

00:33:20.620 of the United States

00:33:21.440 ruled that the government

00:33:22.320 cannot ban

00:33:23.380 taxpayer-funded

00:33:24.280 tuition assistance

00:33:25.040 for private education

00:33:25.980 from being used

00:33:26.800 by citizens

00:33:27.820 for private religious education.

00:33:29.660 In the case,

00:33:30.480 Carson versus Macon,

00:33:32.800 SCOTUS ruled

00:33:33.420 six to three

00:33:34.020 along ideological lines

00:33:35.120 at the state of Maine's

00:33:36.080 tuition assistance program

00:33:37.000 which barred guardians

00:33:37.900 from using the funds

00:33:38.720 for religious,

00:33:39.180 for private religious education

00:33:40.480 was unconstitutional

00:33:42.220 as it violated

00:33:43.060 the First Amendment.

00:33:44.360 Supreme Court Chief Justice

00:33:45.520 John Roberts opined,

00:33:47.420 quote,

00:33:48.280 Maine's non-sectarian requirement 1.00

00:33:50.060 for its otherwise

00:33:50.680 generally available

00:33:51.640 tuition assistance payments

00:33:52.880 violates the free exercise clause

00:33:54.940 of the First Amendment.

00:33:55.700 In short,

00:33:56.120 the prohibition

00:33:56.640 on status-based discrimination

00:33:58.180 under the free exercise clause

00:33:59.520 is not a permission

00:34:00.600 to engage

00:34:01.260 in use-based discrimination.

00:34:03.680 This is the right decision,

00:34:05.280 of course,

00:34:05.880 and the objections

00:34:07.000 are absurd.

00:34:08.540 Sotomayor said

00:34:09.340 that this erodes

00:34:10.520 the separation

00:34:11.400 of church and state

00:34:12.400 which it doesn't really

00:34:14.440 but also

00:34:15.440 the separation

00:34:16.020 of church and state

00:34:16.740 was never meant

00:34:17.640 to be a legal principle

00:34:18.960 the way that we see it now

00:34:20.180 today.

00:34:21.040 That was something

00:34:21.940 that Thomas Jefferson

00:34:22.720 wrote in a letter

00:34:23.640 to the Danbury Baptist

00:34:24.640 because he was worried

00:34:25.520 about the state's influence

00:34:26.700 on the church

00:34:27.400 not the other way around.

00:34:29.920 And he also

00:34:30.680 didn't write it

00:34:31.580 because it was not

00:34:33.060 written into the Constitution.

00:34:36.940 And besides,

00:34:38.240 the other thing

00:34:39.360 is that public schools

00:34:40.100 are already

00:34:40.920 effectively religious institutions.

00:34:43.420 They are already

00:34:44.460 institutions

00:34:45.020 that teach

00:34:45.720 and preach

00:34:46.920 and indoctrinate kids

00:34:48.260 into the religion

00:34:49.960 of leftism

00:34:50.560 as we've talked about.

00:34:52.400 Now the left

00:34:53.300 in criticizing this

00:34:54.220 they've once again

00:34:54.900 revealed

00:34:55.380 that they don't

00:34:56.400 understand

00:34:57.080 their opposition

00:34:58.160 and also

00:34:59.960 that they

00:35:01.100 see everything

00:35:02.400 in terms of racial

00:35:03.460 and ethnic identity.

00:35:04.480 That's just how

00:35:04.920 they see everything.

00:35:05.820 That's the lens

00:35:06.440 through which

00:35:06.840 they view everything.

00:35:08.000 So they expect us

00:35:09.200 to view things

00:35:10.200 the same way

00:35:10.860 when we don't

00:35:11.500 in fact.

00:35:13.340 Like that's not

00:35:13.940 when we encounter

00:35:15.000 an issue

00:35:15.440 we don't immediately

00:35:16.500 start breaking it down

00:35:17.660 along racial lines

00:35:18.780 and start thinking about

00:35:19.660 well how's it going

00:35:20.240 to affect this group

00:35:20.940 and that group

00:35:21.440 and everything.

00:35:22.060 We don't do that.

00:35:23.680 But they do.

00:35:24.700 So there's been

00:35:25.900 a lot of this kind of thing

00:35:27.080 like this from Wajahat Ali

00:35:28.800 of the Daily Beast.

00:35:29.920 He tweeted

00:35:30.340 private Islamic schools

00:35:32.340 and Jewish schools

00:35:33.040 should open up

00:35:33.780 all over Maine.

00:35:35.000 The state has to fund you now

00:35:36.480 so take advantage of it.

00:35:38.100 Move your communities

00:35:38.880 there as well.

00:35:39.640 Let's see what

00:35:40.100 the Supreme Court says.

00:35:42.780 And I guess he

00:35:43.880 I guess he thinks

00:35:45.160 that conservatives

00:35:46.340 are going to say

00:35:46.820 oh no we didn't mean that.

00:35:48.580 No we don't want

00:35:49.200 any Islamic schools 0.88

00:35:50.280 or Jewish schools.

00:35:52.220 And of course

00:35:52.560 everybody on the right

00:35:53.340 is saying okay great.

00:35:55.900 Sounds good.

00:35:57.080 Yeah absolutely.

00:35:59.040 Absolutely.

00:35:59.820 That's fantastic.

00:36:00.860 Open up Islamic schools.

00:36:01.820 Open up Jewish schools.

00:36:03.200 Open up all kinds

00:36:03.900 of private education

00:36:05.540 facilities.

00:36:08.720 That sounds great.

00:36:10.000 And if you're

00:36:10.420 a Muslim parent

00:36:12.180 and you say

00:36:13.720 you want to send

00:36:14.240 your kids to

00:36:14.880 an Islamic school

00:36:15.660 I think that's

00:36:16.520 a fantastic idea.

00:36:17.680 I think it's better

00:36:18.080 to send them

00:36:18.380 to public school.

00:36:20.400 And that of course

00:36:21.140 is what all

00:36:21.680 that's how all conservatives

00:36:22.800 are reacting to this tweet.

00:36:24.360 Saying yeah okay

00:36:24.820 sounds good.

00:36:25.240 This is just the left

00:36:28.740 revealing its own bigotries.

00:36:30.980 This is like

00:36:31.620 when the lady

00:36:32.080 on The View

00:36:32.460 who I think

00:36:32.820 was Joy Behar

00:36:33.600 said about gun control

00:36:35.780 said well wait 1.00

00:36:36.320 until black people 1.00

00:36:37.120 get guns 0.99

00:36:37.720 then conservatives

00:36:38.880 will oppose it.

00:36:41.200 And of course

00:36:41.540 our response is

00:36:42.140 number one

00:36:42.480 they have guns

00:36:43.140 and number two

00:36:43.640 that's great.

00:36:44.920 The more the merrier.

00:36:46.260 We want more people

00:36:47.080 to exercise their

00:36:47.760 second amendment rights.

00:36:48.900 Fantastic.

00:36:50.140 We had no problem

00:36:50.860 with that.

00:36:51.280 Ali followed this up

00:36:54.620 with this tweet.

00:36:55.340 He says

00:36:55.660 do main taxpayers

00:36:58.160 have to fund

00:36:59.220 a Church of Satan

00:37:00.340 school?

00:37:01.340 I mean based

00:37:01.980 on the Supreme Court

00:37:02.640 ruling the answer

00:37:03.340 would have to be

00:37:04.060 yes right.

00:37:06.880 Well as far as

00:37:07.800 that goes

00:37:08.320 main taxpayers

00:37:10.720 already do

00:37:11.640 fund

00:37:12.300 Church of Satan

00:37:13.620 schools.

00:37:14.020 That's called

00:37:14.280 the public school

00:37:14.920 system.

00:37:16.340 So that's already

00:37:17.260 happening.

00:37:19.000 We already have

00:37:19.860 there are thousands

00:37:21.460 of schools

00:37:23.420 in this country

00:37:24.060 that are effectively

00:37:25.040 run by the Church 0.87

00:37:25.960 of Satan

00:37:26.340 and it's called

00:37:27.360 the public school

00:37:28.300 system.

00:37:28.600 So that's already

00:37:28.980 happening.

00:37:29.380 We're aware of that.

00:37:31.920 And having

00:37:32.900 more schools

00:37:33.960 that are run

00:37:34.700 according to the

00:37:35.320 doctrines of other

00:37:36.180 religions rather than

00:37:37.060 Satanism to me

00:37:38.320 sounds like a great

00:37:39.060 idea.

00:37:39.800 I think we're all

00:37:40.280 on board with that.

00:37:41.280 Okay I want to move

00:37:41.920 to this and first

00:37:43.200 I want to read you

00:37:43.660 a little bit of a

00:37:44.140 story from April

00:37:44.940 of this year and

00:37:45.640 then we'll get to

00:37:46.100 the update.

00:37:46.620 This is from the

00:37:47.360 Washington Examiner

00:37:48.600 in April of this

00:37:49.580 year.

00:37:49.800 It says a

00:37:50.140 fundraiser for

00:37:50.780 Connecticut child

00:37:51.480 recovering from

00:37:52.100 second and third

00:37:52.640 degree burns has

00:37:54.040 raised over $230,000

00:37:55.560 as of Wednesday

00:37:56.520 night.

00:37:57.020 The money will be

00:37:57.820 used to help the

00:37:58.540 family of six-year-old

00:37:59.700 Dominique Crankle

00:38:00.860 find a new place

00:38:04.520 to live.

00:38:05.320 Crankle was a

00:38:06.120 hospitalized Sunday

00:38:06.880 after another child

00:38:08.000 covered a ball in

00:38:08.880 gasoline, set it on

00:38:09.980 fire and threw it 0.96

00:38:10.780 at him.

00:38:11.280 According to the

00:38:11.780 family's GoFundMe

00:38:12.660 page, Kayla Deegan

00:38:14.300 who's Crankle's

00:38:15.000 sister said quote

00:38:16.180 this kid downstairs

00:38:18.180 has gotten away

00:38:18.920 with too much and

00:38:19.700 has a history of

00:38:20.340 bullying.

00:38:21.380 The mother thinks 0.76

00:38:22.000 he's innocent.

00:38:22.580 The family thinks

00:38:23.100 it's a joke even

00:38:23.860 though Dominique

00:38:24.400 can't talk because

00:38:25.220 he's in a lot of

00:38:25.820 pain and all swollen.

00:38:27.340 He said to my mom,

00:38:28.200 please don't take me

00:38:28.960 back there.

00:38:31.080 Crankle is able to

00:38:31.960 eat a few bites of

00:38:32.820 food past his

00:38:33.420 extremely swollen

00:38:34.100 lips but he is

00:38:36.020 expected to recover.

00:38:37.120 Okay, so the story

00:38:37.840 was that this child

00:38:39.380 was attacked by two

00:38:40.420 bullies who they all

00:38:41.720 live in the same

00:38:42.140 apartment complex I

00:38:43.060 think and they were

00:38:43.600 outside.

00:38:43.980 The child was

00:38:45.340 attacked by these

00:38:46.300 bullies who lit a 0.96

00:38:47.340 ball on fire, 0.66

00:38:48.280 tennis ball, and

00:38:49.280 threw it at him

00:38:50.000 maliciously.

00:38:51.280 And this is the

00:38:51.760 story the family

00:38:52.400 told and it's the

00:38:53.280 story the mother

00:38:54.020 of the victim told

00:38:55.620 and they raised

00:38:58.020 lots of money off

00:38:59.160 the story to buy

00:39:00.600 a house.

00:39:02.320 But then this from

00:39:03.000 the Daily Wire,

00:39:03.460 this is yesterday,

00:39:05.000 says in April the

00:39:05.740 family of a six-year-old

00:39:06.820 Dominique Crankle

00:39:08.200 accused other

00:39:09.060 neighborhood children

00:39:09.640 of a bullying attack

00:39:10.560 after Crankle

00:39:11.100 suffered second and

00:39:11.760 third degree burns

00:39:12.420 but newly released

00:39:13.340 surveillance footage

00:39:14.080 cast doubt on the

00:39:15.400 family's allegation.

00:39:16.920 Dominique Crankle

00:39:17.460 was reportedly

00:39:17.980 playing in the

00:39:18.560 backyard at his

00:39:19.160 family's home in

00:39:19.740 Bridgeport, Connecticut

00:39:20.400 with neighborhood

00:39:21.240 children when the

00:39:21.820 incident occurred.

00:39:23.180 The children who

00:39:23.720 were unattended

00:39:24.320 were reportedly

00:39:24.880 lighting things on

00:39:25.700 fire with gasoline

00:39:26.660 and Crankle's

00:39:27.680 mother and sister

00:39:28.320 claimed the six-year-old

00:39:29.120 was set on fire

00:39:29.800 by bullies who

00:39:30.500 threw a tennis ball

00:39:31.120 at him.

00:39:31.360 However, those

00:39:31.740 claims have come

00:39:32.280 into question after

00:39:32.940 police said there

00:39:33.500 was no wrongdoing

00:39:34.380 and footage of the

00:39:35.620 incident was released

00:39:36.340 to the public and

00:39:37.220 I saw the footage

00:39:38.420 being circulated on

00:39:39.620 social media.

00:39:41.140 The Daily Mail reports

00:39:41.940 newly released video

00:39:42.760 appears to disprove a

00:39:43.860 Connecticut mother's

00:39:44.480 claim that her son

00:39:44.980 was targeted by

00:39:45.580 bullies instead

00:39:46.120 showing a seeming

00:39:46.980 accident as kids

00:39:47.860 play dangerously with

00:39:49.060 fire.

00:39:49.560 So, you know, you

00:39:51.220 can see in the video

00:39:52.100 clearly that they're

00:39:53.800 just the kids, they

00:39:54.840 they have, these are

00:39:56.800 kids ranging in age

00:39:58.060 from six to eight

00:39:58.920 and they somehow got

00:40:00.980 their hands on gasoline

00:40:02.060 and a lighter and

00:40:03.760 they're just playing

00:40:05.180 with it and messing

00:40:05.840 around and then one

00:40:07.360 of the kids gets set

00:40:08.360 on fire.

00:40:08.740 And then one of the

00:40:09.880 other kids, you can

00:40:10.360 see in the video, one

00:40:11.180 of the other kids that

00:40:11.800 was slandered as a

00:40:13.440 bully by the other

00:40:15.600 child's mother, he

00:40:17.060 actually tries to, he

00:40:18.120 uses his own bare hands

00:40:19.580 to try to put the fire

00:40:20.560 out and we can assume

00:40:21.420 it's burned himself in

00:40:22.660 the process, tries to

00:40:23.660 help the boy by putting

00:40:25.600 the fire out and

00:40:27.380 probably saves him from

00:40:28.920 suffering much worse

00:40:29.960 damage.

00:40:31.660 Now, I actually saw

00:40:32.380 this story when it

00:40:32.920 first happened and I

00:40:34.400 didn't talk about it on

00:40:35.240 my show because I

00:40:36.160 didn't believe it.

00:40:36.960 And the reason I

00:40:38.360 didn't believe it, the

00:40:39.980 version where the

00:40:40.600 bully was, you know,

00:40:41.840 the kid was attacked

00:40:42.480 by bullies who lit a

00:40:43.620 ball on fire and

00:40:44.340 threw it at him, the 0.93

00:40:45.500 reason I didn't believe

00:40:46.020 that is, for one

00:40:47.120 thing, they're raising

00:40:48.740 money for a new house

00:40:50.500 off of the story.

00:40:51.860 And I wish people would

00:40:52.940 just get this through

00:40:53.820 their heads, okay?

00:40:55.500 And I really, I'm

00:40:56.860 beseeching you for your

00:40:57.800 own sake, nobody can

00:40:59.840 afford in this economy

00:41:00.880 to be wasting money on

00:41:02.600 scam GoFundMes, okay?

00:41:04.960 And every GoFundMe

00:41:07.520 you see, you should be

00:41:08.540 skeptical of.

00:41:09.320 Doesn't mean never

00:41:09.900 donate to any of them,

00:41:10.760 but be skeptical of

00:41:11.780 them because unless you

00:41:12.920 know the person

00:41:13.600 personally, there should

00:41:14.980 be immediate skepticism.

00:41:16.860 Unless you know the

00:41:17.740 person or it's a GoFundMe

00:41:19.760 for AOC's abuela, those

00:41:21.000 are the two scenarios

00:41:21.700 where you can give

00:41:22.340 without worrying about

00:41:23.120 it.

00:41:23.540 Outside of that, be

00:41:24.680 skeptical.

00:41:26.020 And if there was some

00:41:27.200 sort of incident that

00:41:28.500 happened and the

00:41:30.060 victim or the family of

00:41:32.160 the victim, the first

00:41:33.360 thing they do is set up

00:41:34.420 a GoFundMe.

00:41:36.620 And they're going to

00:41:37.220 use the money in a way

00:41:38.240 that doesn't even have

00:41:38.820 anything really to do

00:41:39.740 with the incident.

00:41:40.440 Now, it's one thing if

00:41:40.960 they said we're going to

00:41:41.380 raise the money because

00:41:42.100 he has terrible burns and

00:41:43.020 we need to get in

00:41:43.380 plastic surgery to take

00:41:45.520 care of the burn, the

00:41:46.300 scars.

00:41:46.980 They don't even say,

00:41:47.460 they said we want the

00:41:48.420 money to go buy a new

00:41:49.560 house.

00:41:51.320 And people are giving

00:41:52.280 to that GoFundMe?

00:41:53.020 Like, you didn't see?

00:41:53.840 Talk about red flags,

00:41:54.660 you didn't see them there?

00:41:57.040 And also, right, Occam's

00:42:00.100 razor here.

00:42:00.740 Like, go with the

00:42:01.460 simpler explanation.

00:42:02.240 And when you see a

00:42:04.020 story like this, there's

00:42:04.740 a much simpler and more

00:42:05.940 believable explanation for

00:42:07.120 how a six-year-old boy got

00:42:08.260 burned by fire and

00:42:09.220 gasoline.

00:42:11.060 And that is that they

00:42:12.020 were messing around with

00:42:12.780 fire and then he got

00:42:13.620 burned in the process.

00:42:15.460 That's a believable and

00:42:17.320 simple explanation.

00:42:18.080 Because, because here's the

00:42:20.800 thing, if you are leaving

00:42:24.300 young boys age six to eight

00:42:26.600 unattended with gasoline and

00:42:29.760 a lighter, somebody is

00:42:31.660 getting set on fire.

00:42:32.640 That's a 100%, it's not even

00:42:35.280 a possibility, it's a 100%

00:42:36.440 certainty that's going to

00:42:37.320 happen.

00:42:39.460 So it's pretty obvious this

00:42:40.640 mother was not paying

00:42:42.520 attention to her own son and

00:42:44.340 that's how they somehow got

00:42:45.160 their hands on gasoline and a

00:42:46.460 lighter and now she's trying to

00:42:47.700 shift the blame and in the

00:42:49.120 process, you know, like

00:42:50.080 defaming these poor kids and

00:42:52.560 this other family who are not

00:42:54.240 the villains in this.

00:42:54.880 This is just a terrible

00:42:55.440 accident.

00:42:57.000 Okay, one other thing, before

00:42:58.240 we get to the comments

00:42:59.040 section, I wanted to read

00:42:59.960 this from Mashable.

00:43:01.060 It says,

00:43:01.220 earlier this week, a Twitter user

00:43:02.660 shared pictures of what she

00:43:04.640 thought looked like cameras

00:43:05.780 disguised as fire sprinklers

00:43:07.320 scattered throughout her

00:43:08.620 Airbnb in Philadelphia.

00:43:10.180 This prompted other users to

00:43:11.500 begin sharing their Airbnb

00:43:12.760 horror stories on Twitter.

00:43:15.700 While an investigation conducted

00:43:16.800 by the Philadelphia police

00:43:17.840 concluded that there were no

00:43:19.500 hidden cameras in the Airbnb,

00:43:21.160 the social media damage had

00:43:22.340 already been done.

00:43:23.580 And so that's why on Twitter

00:43:24.960 there was a trending for a while,

00:43:26.320 Airbnb people were sharing their

00:43:27.780 horror stories of being in

00:43:29.040 Airbnbs.

00:43:31.300 And some of the tweets,

00:43:32.460 someone says, LOL, Airbnb

00:43:33.920 hosts are like, I need you to

00:43:35.260 take your shoes off in the

00:43:36.240 house, take the garbage out, 1.00

00:43:37.480 turn the music down.

00:43:38.500 And if you want to live under

00:43:39.160 this roof, you got to follow

00:43:39.940 my rules.

00:43:40.420 It's like you're living at your

00:43:41.500 parents' house at 19 as a

00:43:42.920 service.

00:43:43.880 Someone else says, we just

00:43:44.580 abandoned an Airbnb in New

00:43:46.460 York City, claimed to have AC

00:43:48.280 and a double bed, also had

00:43:49.880 lovely stains on the sheets and

00:43:51.340 couch.

00:43:52.560 And there was apparently a turd

00:43:55.260 that was, I don't know if this

00:43:56.200 was this Amber Heard's house

00:43:58.060 that he was staying at?

00:43:59.800 But there was fecal matter in

00:44:01.060 the house, apparently.

00:44:02.300 A lot of other horror stories

00:44:04.240 like this.

00:44:04.640 I'm just reading this to get to

00:44:05.960 the point that I want to make,

00:44:07.840 which is, why are you all

00:44:09.980 staying at Airbnbs?

00:44:11.820 There are limited circumstances

00:44:13.280 where I can understand it.

00:44:14.220 Like if you're going away on

00:44:15.120 vacation, you want to find a

00:44:16.340 home, like a lakefront home or

00:44:17.780 something, and maybe you use

00:44:19.980 Airbnb for that.

00:44:21.180 If you need a long-term rental,

00:44:22.660 you're staying somewhere for

00:44:23.380 three months, maybe use Airbnb

00:44:24.780 for that.

00:44:25.300 But people use Airbnb when

00:44:26.880 they're just visiting town for a

00:44:28.200 few days.

00:44:28.760 They use it when they're

00:44:29.600 traveling.

00:44:30.660 And that's what I don't get.

00:44:32.340 You want to go stay in

00:44:33.340 somebody's house?

00:44:34.440 You want to stay in someone

00:44:35.640 else's house and pay for it. 0.99

00:44:38.300 Staying in other people's 1.00

00:44:38.980 houses, that's the worst thing.

00:44:40.900 I don't like staying in my own

00:44:42.140 families.

00:44:42.800 If I'm visiting family, I

00:44:44.260 prefer to stay in a hotel than

00:44:45.360 stay in their house.

00:44:46.220 Because it's uncomfortable, it's

00:44:47.420 awkward, you know, nothing is

00:44:48.740 set up the way that you would

00:44:49.740 set it up.

00:44:50.920 You're in someone else's house, 0.99

00:44:51.960 it's their rules, it's their

00:44:53.260 everything.

00:44:54.500 They never have their kitchen

00:44:55.420 set up the right way.

00:44:56.360 Every time I'm in somebody

00:44:56.960 else's kitchen, I'm just

00:44:57.780 thinking to myself, why would

00:44:59.160 you put the forks and knives

00:45:00.100 here?

00:45:00.480 Why would you put the cups

00:45:01.480 there, not over there?

00:45:02.140 It doesn't make any sense the

00:45:02.900 way things are laid out.

00:45:04.620 Makes no sense to me, especially

00:45:06.960 when you consider there's a

00:45:07.940 whole industry that had

00:45:09.980 previously been set up for the

00:45:11.540 purposes of providing

00:45:12.540 accommodations to travelers.

00:45:14.400 It's called the hotel

00:45:15.280 industry.

00:45:16.620 And hotels are great.

00:45:18.300 I love hotels.

00:45:19.360 I'm a hotel enthusiast.

00:45:21.220 Some hotels aren't good, but

00:45:22.260 you know if they're not going

00:45:22.900 to be good based on the

00:45:23.780 brand, based on the price, so

00:45:25.500 you know what you're getting

00:45:26.100 into ahead of time.

00:45:27.360 And the hotels are

00:45:28.340 specifically designed for the

00:45:29.820 purpose of staying in for a

00:45:31.160 few days when you're on the

00:45:31.980 road.

00:45:32.620 You know everything's going to

00:45:33.460 be.

00:45:34.280 If you can't find it, you can

00:45:35.200 call down.

00:45:36.400 And there's a whole staff

00:45:37.540 that's there, and their whole

00:45:38.620 job is to just wait on you,

00:45:39.900 hand and foot.

00:45:41.340 There's a bar.

00:45:42.860 Someone will come and make

00:45:45.060 your bed every morning if you

00:45:46.600 want.

00:45:46.880 They'll bring fresh towels.

00:45:48.560 It's fantastic.

00:45:50.540 The only reason to stay in

00:45:52.220 Airbnb is that it's cheaper,

00:45:53.300 but it's actually not cheaper

00:45:54.120 anymore.

00:45:54.680 A lot of times it's more

00:45:55.360 expensive.

00:45:57.720 So stay in a hotel.

00:45:59.120 This message brought to you by

00:46:00.300 the hotel industry.

00:46:01.580 Actually, I'm doing it for free

00:46:02.440 because that's how generous I

00:46:03.600 am.

00:46:03.740 Well, the Sweet Baby Gang has

00:46:05.660 proven yet again that it's

00:46:06.920 financial loyalty knows no

00:46:08.780 bounds.

00:46:09.160 The Virtue Signal patch, which

00:46:10.400 was released on Monday, sold

00:46:11.860 out yesterday.

00:46:12.540 In fact, I invented it in my

00:46:15.700 head live on the air, just

00:46:17.500 riffing last week.

00:46:20.380 And then we put it on, and

00:46:21.220 then we actually made it, and

00:46:22.300 then it sold out right away.

00:46:23.440 So these things move fast on the

00:46:24.820 Matt Wall Show.

00:46:25.600 In fact, it almost sold out as

00:46:26.500 fast as the people who actually

00:46:27.420 engage in virtue signaling.

00:46:28.640 Almost.

00:46:29.680 I think we could do better,

00:46:30.480 though, because many of you may

00:46:31.740 not have had the chance to

00:46:32.820 secure your patch, and because

00:46:33.920 I am wildly generous, we are

00:46:35.260 going to be restocking the

00:46:36.400 patch to give you another

00:46:37.460 opportunity to seize the moral

00:46:38.960 high ground.

00:46:39.480 Head over to MySwagShack at

00:46:41.160 dailywire.com slash shop to

00:46:42.600 claim your Virtue Signal patch

00:46:43.780 and the indulgent sense of

00:46:45.740 self-satisfaction that comes

00:46:47.040 with it today.

00:46:49.380 Let's get now to the comment

00:46:50.620 section.

00:46:50.940 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off

00:46:53.720 the handle with rage?

00:46:57.140 Who's to blame?

00:46:58.920 Jonathan says,

00:47:05.700 Hey Matt, an important point you

00:47:06.780 missed about Megan Rapinoe is 0.94

00:47:08.280 that she, like many others, have

00:47:09.640 closed the door on the

00:47:10.680 generation behind them after

00:47:12.000 they had success.

00:47:13.800 She didn't have to compete with

00:47:14.840 boys growing up, and she's rich 1.00

00:47:16.560 and famous because of her 1.00

00:47:17.400 success, but she's closing the 1.00

00:47:18.460 door for other women in her 0.97

00:47:19.560 position because she's got hers. 0.99

00:47:21.060 It's similar to comedians who

00:47:22.180 made a living telling provocative

00:47:23.240 jokes and then telling young

00:47:24.820 comedians those same jokes are

00:47:26.120 offensive.

00:47:26.500 That's a good point.

00:47:26.980 And that's exactly what's

00:47:28.680 happening here.

00:47:29.260 And you said she didn't have

00:47:30.080 to compete against males, but

00:47:31.380 she did, as we talked about

00:47:32.500 yesterday, she did at least one

00:47:33.620 time have to compete against

00:47:34.660 boys who were under the age of

00:47:37.760 15 and she lost.

00:47:39.120 But now, right, she's, this is,

00:47:40.560 this is what all, this is why I

00:47:42.320 despise even more.

00:47:43.280 It's one thing to have the Gen Z 1.00

00:47:44.720 TikTok generation leftists who 0.67

00:47:46.680 are just, have been crazy from 0.95

00:47:48.820 birth.

00:47:49.400 And that's one thing, but to have

00:47:51.300 these older, the kind of old

00:47:53.280 crusty over the hill leftists who

00:47:55.740 are, who made it across, right?

00:47:57.940 Like you say, they made it to

00:47:59.240 success and now they're pulling

00:48:00.320 up the drawbridge behind them in

00:48:02.380 this way is, uh, that's even

00:48:04.400 worse.

00:48:04.700 I agree with you.

00:48:06.240 Let's see.

00:48:07.920 Dennis says, Juneteenth does not

00:48:10.220 have to be racial animosity turned

00:48:12.360 into a holiday.

00:48:13.580 Racial animosity is acting like 0.99

00:48:15.000 you're just as oppressed as your

00:48:16.140 ancestors and society never

00:48:17.460 recognized slavery as wrong.

00:48:18.960 A celebration of the end of

00:48:20.160 slavery is the polar opposite.

00:48:21.440 Uh, I got a lot of comments like

00:48:23.780 this, the, oh, Juneteenth, uh, you

00:48:26.860 know, it doesn't, it doesn't have

00:48:27.540 to be that.

00:48:28.100 It doesn't have to be a, this,

00:48:29.280 this leftist thing.

00:48:30.140 And you're right.

00:48:30.620 It doesn't have to be, there's no

00:48:32.680 reason why it had to go in this

00:48:34.140 direction, but it has, I mean,

00:48:35.540 that's, it doesn't have to be this,

00:48:37.380 but this is what it is.

00:48:39.960 Um, and this is, now you could go

00:48:43.040 and talk about the other versions of

00:48:45.360 Juneteenth that they had in Texas

00:48:46.960 or wherever else, but this

00:48:48.820 federally recognized nationwide

00:48:52.560 holiday, like this version of it

00:48:55.540 that was invented a couple of years

00:48:57.860 ago, um, it exists for all the

00:49:01.000 reasons we talked about yesterday

00:49:02.160 at, at, for racial division,

00:49:04.000 uh, grievance mongering, white guilt

00:49:07.300 and all of that.

00:49:07.880 That's why that exists.

00:49:10.340 And it's got nothing to do with

00:49:11.520 patriotism.

00:49:12.160 It's actually got nothing to do

00:49:13.060 with celebrating freedom.

00:49:13.920 Um, as great as it would be to

00:49:17.720 have a holiday like that, but

00:49:18.800 again, we actually do have a

00:49:19.920 holiday like that.

00:49:20.700 And, uh, the great thing is that

00:49:21.800 it happens just a few weeks after

00:49:23.120 Juneteenth, July 4th.

00:49:25.340 That's a time for celebrating

00:49:26.340 freedom.

00:49:29.040 It's not a coincidence by the way

00:49:30.640 that many of the, um, most ardent

00:49:33.720 advocates of Juneteenth are not big

00:49:35.960 fans of July 4th because freedom

00:49:38.940 isn't really their bag.

00:49:39.940 It's not what they actually care

00:49:40.980 about the most.

00:49:41.720 Um, Jesse says only Matt could

00:49:45.900 take a lovely sentiment about the

00:49:47.500 sharing of birthdays and turn it

00:49:49.080 around to benefit him with, with, uh,

00:49:51.140 him being given more presence.

00:49:52.640 Matt is a truly a master at being

00:49:54.060 alpha male to even one up his son

00:49:56.020 on who got the baddest stitches and

00:49:57.860 trauma trophy.

00:49:58.960 Matt, you are a kid in an alpha male

00:50:00.720 adult body.

00:50:01.980 Uh, I don't, is that really alpha

00:50:03.380 male status to try to one up as I

00:50:05.600 did my nine year old son after he

00:50:06.900 got stitches.

00:50:07.280 Does that make me, does that make

00:50:09.120 me alpha male or just incredibly

00:50:10.980 petty?

00:50:12.740 I guess it's up to you to decide.

00:50:15.840 And, um, finally Raptor Jesus says,

00:50:18.820 I do love how Matt pronounced the

00:50:20.420 commenter Prince, Prince Vegeta's

00:50:23.040 name.

00:50:23.740 It's Vegeta, Matt.

00:50:25.980 He's from Dragon Ball Z.

00:50:28.960 Well, Raptor Jesus, did you expect me

00:50:30.880 to actually know that?

00:50:32.620 You know how I am with pronunciations

00:50:34.260 and maybe I've never covered my stance

00:50:37.900 on anime, but you could probably guess

00:50:39.620 what it is.

00:50:41.180 So you can't be too surprised by that,

00:50:42.460 but thanks for that information.

00:50:43.420 Anyway, coming up next week, we have

00:50:45.140 our biggest live event of the year

00:50:46.900 backstage live at the Ryman.

00:50:48.360 There are only a few tickets left, so

00:50:49.840 don't miss out on this incredible

00:50:51.080 event.

00:50:51.440 We want to make sure there's a lot of

00:50:52.280 sweet baby gang representation there.

00:50:54.280 So, uh, make sure to snatch those

00:50:56.760 tickets up now.

00:50:57.640 What is Backstage Live?

00:50:58.560 It's your favorite Daily Wire hosts in

00:51:00.060 person like you've never seen them

00:51:01.340 before.

00:51:02.160 You have to see it to believe it.

00:51:03.240 Just take a look at last year's event.

00:51:05.060 Welcome to the Daily Wire Backstage

00:51:06.900 Live at the famous Ryman Auditorium.

00:51:09.840 It was amazing.

00:51:11.320 We were in the presence of greatness.

00:51:12.920 The energy of having everyone on the

00:51:15.020 same page was amazing.

00:51:16.300 If your family member is still waiting

00:51:18.260 for Fauci to give them permission to

00:51:20.460 leave their house, it might be time to

00:51:22.020 cut that off.

00:51:22.560 I'm actually pretty excited to meet

00:51:24.540 all of them.

00:51:25.100 I love everybody's opinion individually.

00:51:26.840 I don't have a favorite.

00:51:27.540 I like them all.

00:51:28.480 I had found out a way to make football

00:51:30.840 players cry in high school.

00:51:32.180 My high school experience had been

00:51:33.400 a lot.

00:51:34.560 I'm just excited to be here and be

00:51:36.500 surrounded by like-minded people and

00:51:38.640 to just, you know, feel that energy.

00:51:40.540 Who should we remove from office?

00:51:42.180 One politician.

00:51:43.520 The most powerful politician in the

00:51:44.880 country.

00:51:45.240 Dr. Fauci.

00:51:46.700 What are you talking about?

00:51:48.060 We're doing culture here.

00:51:49.140 I'm so thrilled to see this happening.

00:51:50.780 If they say to half of the country,

00:51:52.320 you can't, that half of the country 0.99

00:51:54.200 needs to say, screw you, we will. 0.98

00:52:25.100 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:52:26.440 Now, in fairness, you have to understand

00:52:32.360 how difficult this is for the left.

00:52:34.720 They're in a very tough spot, you know,

00:52:36.420 though, of course, they put themselves

00:52:37.460 in this spot.

00:52:38.300 They've decided to go all in defending

00:52:40.100 drag shows for children.

00:52:41.440 Given that this is an entirely

00:52:42.540 indefensible and abhorrent and utterly

00:52:45.200 shocking and degraded practice, there

00:52:47.180 really aren't any good arguments

00:52:48.400 available to them.

00:52:49.600 They could, therefore, abandon their

00:52:51.440 child drag advocacy and reclaim whatever

00:52:53.820 sliver of dignity they might have had

00:52:55.260 left, they could throw up their hands

00:52:56.640 and say, okay, you know what?

00:52:57.800 We may have gone a little too far

00:52:59.300 with this.

00:52:59.740 Actually, it is super weird and

00:53:01.000 disgusting to have cross-dressing 0.95

00:53:02.140 fetishes performing for preschoolers. 0.99

00:53:05.500 So never mind.

00:53:06.300 Let's just forget about this whole thing.

00:53:08.200 They could do that, but they won't.

00:53:10.160 They never backtrack.

00:53:11.160 They never apologize.

00:53:11.980 They never admit that they're wrong

00:53:12.680 about anything.

00:53:13.420 Their only option is to go full speed

00:53:14.960 ahead all the time, and that leaves

00:53:16.440 them scrambling for ways to justify

00:53:18.140 the pedophilic combination of drag queens 1.00

00:53:20.780 and children. 0.96

00:53:21.900 This week on social media, they seem to

00:53:23.360 think that they've maybe stumbled upon

00:53:24.620 a talking point, which might accomplish

00:53:27.080 this feat for them.

00:53:29.400 The problem is that the argument

00:53:30.520 they've settled on actually undermines

00:53:32.280 the premise that they seek to defend.

00:53:34.740 Once again, they've pulled the pin out

00:53:36.240 of the grenade, and then they just

00:53:37.660 dropped it at their own feet.

00:53:39.860 Certainly not the first time that this

00:53:41.080 has happened.

00:53:41.940 So in recent days, Mrs. Doubtfire,

00:53:44.740 the 1993 Robin Williams comedy where he

00:53:46.960 pretends to be an old woman so that he 0.98

00:53:48.900 can nanny his children without his

00:53:50.720 estranged wife finding out.

00:53:52.260 And it's one of those movies from the

00:53:54.420 90s that when you describe it now, it just

00:53:56.280 sounds really weird.

00:53:57.640 But that movie has been trending on

00:53:59.100 Twitter, and that is due to tweets like

00:54:01.240 this one from alleged comedian Whitney

00:54:03.020 Cummings, who wrote, quote,

00:54:05.720 These old weirdos worried about drag queens 1.00

00:54:07.980 and kids forgot that our favorite movies as

00:54:10.120 kids were Tootsie, Mrs. Doubtfire, and the

00:54:12.360 Nutty Professor.

00:54:14.100 Yes, because the people who don't want men to 1.00

00:54:16.220 cross-dress in front of children are weirdos. 0.64

00:54:18.860 We're the ones who are weirdos.

00:54:19.840 But this comparison to old comedies involving

00:54:22.600 men in drag has become popular.

00:54:25.020 Mocking concerns about the drag queen child 0.99

00:54:27.180 combination, Max Kennerly tweeted,

00:54:29.500 I was 11 when I saw Mrs. Doubtfire.

00:54:31.440 It had a lasting negative impact on me.

00:54:33.220 Specifically, I couldn't comprehend how they

00:54:34.600 didn't realize this was cake icing, not

00:54:36.220 facial cream.

00:54:37.160 Had the whole world gone mad, my young

00:54:38.980 mind was damaged.

00:54:40.620 Emily Murnane, another woman who pretends 0.99

00:54:42.420 to be a comedian, tweeted in a similar

00:54:43.880 vein,

00:54:44.160 Well, she wasn't joking about being a morally 0.99

00:54:55.160 depraved loser, at least. 0.98

00:54:56.860 A guy named David Grossman chimed in with his 0.99

00:54:59.240 own version of this hilarious joke, tweeting,

00:55:00.920 You think that's bad?

00:55:02.260 I was 13 when I saw Will Ferrell dress up as

00:55:04.780 Janet Reno on SNL.

00:55:06.660 This led directly to heroin.

00:55:09.160 Now, there are many other examples of this

00:55:10.720 talking point, but you get the idea.

00:55:11.920 Many of us grew up watching comedies

00:55:14.380 involving men in drag, and we turned out

00:55:16.560 fine, relatively.

00:55:18.120 So, what's wrong with children at drag shows?

00:55:21.240 That's like the argument.

00:55:23.500 Well, the first and most obvious response

00:55:25.340 is that, to my memory, there is no scene

00:55:28.400 in Mrs. Doubtfire where Robin Williams

00:55:30.000 strips down to a thong and twerks on the 0.95

00:55:32.100 ground while children throw money at him.

00:55:35.180 Maybe I'd go back and watch it again, but

00:55:36.460 I'm pretty sure it didn't happen.

00:55:38.080 That's precisely what happens, though, at

00:55:39.600 drag shows.

00:55:40.140 You don't have to be the most perceptive

00:55:42.600 person in the world to notice a difference

00:55:44.060 here.

00:55:45.280 Namely, the difference is that the point

00:55:47.120 of one is to be funny, while the point

00:55:50.300 of the other is to be sexual.

00:55:52.640 There's a reason why these drag shows are 1.00

00:55:54.380 not at comedy clubs. 0.86

00:55:55.440 They're at gay clubs.

00:55:56.860 There's no neon sign in the background

00:55:58.460 that says Chuckle Hut or Laugh Factory.

00:56:01.220 Instead, the neon sign says, as was the case

00:56:03.300 in one of these drag shows for kids, it's not

00:56:05.500 going to lick itself.

00:56:06.320 The drag events are sexually charged by 1.00

00:56:09.440 their nature.

00:56:10.080 That's the point of them.

00:56:11.200 That's why they exist.

00:56:12.700 The audience at a drag show does not sit

00:56:15.000 there and point and laugh the whole time.

00:56:17.620 They're not there to mock the drag queen for 0.99

00:56:19.420 how ridiculous he looks. 0.97

00:56:21.360 And the children at the drag show are not 0.99

00:56:23.200 meant to come away with the idea that it's 1.00

00:56:25.340 absurd or silly or stupid for men to dress 1.00

00:56:28.440 like women. 1.00

00:56:28.920 Quite the opposite.

00:56:30.720 And that brings us to the second and most

00:56:32.080 crucial point.

00:56:32.960 And this is where the grenade goes off and 0.97

00:56:34.440 blows to pieces the people who tried to 0.95

00:56:35.920 throw it against us.

00:56:37.880 The point is this.

00:56:39.940 Mrs. Doubtfire could not exist today as a 0.99

00:56:43.660 film.

00:56:44.260 It couldn't be made.

00:56:45.780 And that's not because conservatives would

00:56:47.420 object.

00:56:48.480 It's the left that would have a conniption

00:56:50.880 fit over it.

00:56:51.620 Why?

00:56:52.560 Because the comedy in Mrs. Doubtfire and

00:56:54.940 films similar to it entirely revolves around

00:56:58.360 the fundamental absurdity of males dressing 0.99

00:57:01.080 like females. 0.99

00:57:01.820 We're supposed to laugh about it and at it. 0.99

00:57:05.600 The cross-dressing man is essentially a clown 1.00

00:57:08.340 wearing a ridiculous outfit for our amusement. 0.97

00:57:11.700 Indeed, the comedy makes no sense. 0.86

00:57:13.800 There is no comedy at all unless you recognize

00:57:16.280 the differences between men and women and

00:57:18.000 believe that somebody in one category can never

00:57:20.140 cross over to the other.

00:57:21.960 The laughs come from that basic understanding.

00:57:25.500 Mrs. Doubtfire is funny because it's absurd. 1.00

00:57:28.140 And it's absurd because a man is wearing women's 1.00

00:57:30.820 clothing, and that's absurd.

00:57:34.000 But the left says that we have to take cross-dressing

00:57:36.080 men seriously.

00:57:37.380 They say it's not comedy at all, but a deep

00:57:39.620 expression of their inner being.

00:57:42.680 What's more, they say gender is fluid, and so

00:57:44.480 there's nothing fundamentally absurd about a

00:57:46.120 biological male presenting himself as a female.

00:57:48.560 In modern America, Mrs. Doubtfire would be 1.00

00:57:50.620 condemned as transphobic, homophobic, gender

00:57:53.100 exclusionary, reinforcing the gender binary and all 1.00

00:57:56.540 that. Or else, if something like it was made

00:57:59.740 today, it wouldn't be a comedy, but a drama.

00:58:02.960 It would be the inspiring story of a man who

00:58:05.660 identifies as an elderly woman and struggles for

00:58:08.280 to be accepted, you know, by society and his own

00:58:11.120 family. Like, if the exact movie of Mrs.

00:58:13.900 Doubtfire had never existed and then was made in

00:58:17.220 2022, the left would watch it and either they would

00:58:20.460 want to burn at the stake everybody involved, or they

00:58:23.740 would think that it's an inspirational drama. Like, they

00:58:25.580 would not see it as a comedy. Unless I'm wrong. Perhaps

00:58:31.100 I should take these leftists at their own word. They're

00:58:34.260 saying that modern drag shows and Mrs. Doubtfire are

00:58:38.240 the same. That's what they're saying. Okay, so can I then

00:58:43.280 point and laugh at drag queens? Can I say that they look 1.00

00:58:47.500 ridiculous? Can I teach my children that when they see a man 1.00

00:58:51.900 dressed like a woman, it's funny and silly and they should 1.00

00:58:54.460 not take it seriously. They should laugh at it. Now, I 0.99

00:58:57.800 have taught my children that that's exactly what I've told

00:59:00.360 them on a few occasions when we've been out in public and

00:59:02.900 they have unfortunately, incidentally, witnessed

00:59:06.300 something like this. I've told them that's silly. That's 0.95

00:59:10.240 ridiculous. That's all that is. And I'm going to tell my 0.98

00:59:13.660 children that whether I have permission from the left or

00:59:15.300 not. But are they now endorsing that approach? Something tells

00:59:20.460 me they're not, not intentionally anyway. They're just

00:59:24.060 saying whatever they think will be most effective in the

00:59:25.960 moment, even if it contradicts everything else they say in

00:59:28.300 every other moment, as usual. And for that reason, they are

00:59:32.160 today canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks

00:59:35.020 for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. God
