The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 981 - Biden Administration Rants About 'Women's Rights' While Erasing Women

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, it went largely unnoticed, but last week the Biden administration

00:00:03.940 officially proposed changes to Title IX that would legally erase women. And they did this

00:00:08.100 even as they scream about alleged attacks on women's rights. We'll talk about that. Also,

00:00:12.100 horror at the border as 50 people are left to die in the back of a truck after being smuggled

00:00:16.600 across the border. This is what compassionate open borders policies gets you. And Kamala Harris 0.93

00:00:21.640 launches into a transphobic rant in response to Roe. You have to hear this to believe it. Awful

00:00:25.940 stuff. Plus, more celebrities threaten us with a good time by promising to leave the country

00:00:29.920 because Roe is overturned. In our daily cancellation, we review the work of acclaimed

00:00:33.540 bestselling poet laureate, Amanda Gorman. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:48.140 That summer vacation that you've planned is expensive on its own, but now let's add in the

00:00:52.960 higher cost of gas and credit card fees, which are already close to 19% are expected to rise again

00:00:57.920 soon. It's becoming impossible to save any money to enjoy some time away after all your hard work

00:01:03.020 this year. Don't let all those expenses ruin all of your plans. Instead, save some money and get a

00:01:08.420 free mortgage review from our friends at American Financing. Let a salary-based mortgage consultant

00:01:13.180 talk to you about custom loans that can fit your budget better. I mean it. From your home loans,

00:01:45.400 americanfinancing.net, NMLS 182-334, NMLS consumeraccess.org. Well, the left can take solace

00:01:53.900 in the fact that the recent sanity and restraint of the Supreme Court will be counteracted by the

00:01:58.580 recklessness, lunacy, and blatant criminality of the dementia administration. In fact, Biden's HHS

00:02:04.400 secretary, Xavier Becerra, announced yesterday that the White House will likely start providing

00:02:09.060 tax-funded transportation to people seeking out-of-state abortions. Now, is that actually

00:02:15.320 legal? Is it legal for the federal government to use tax money to pay to ship people across state

00:02:21.220 lines to get abortions because it's illegal in their state? Well, the legality of it is a small

00:02:26.280 detail, of course, but here was Becerra's answer. Listen to this.

00:02:30.680 What are you doing concretely in response to the court's decision to try to help women?

00:02:35.560 Well, we're working with centers like Planned Parenthood, so we are restoring funding for

00:02:42.160 Title X family planning services. We are working with supporters on the ground to make sure that

00:02:49.660 we are providing services to women where we can. We are looking into everything, including

00:02:55.640 assisting in transportation, something that HHS doesn't typically do. Can you do that legally?

00:03:01.120 Talk to me later. I mean, that's a big question, right? I always tell my team at HHS, if you've done

00:03:10.580 your homework, then we have no right to do mild, and so we're going to be aggressive and go all the

00:03:15.420 way, and I would tell you if you're recording, so I won't tell you. This is all on the record,

00:03:23.100 Mr. Secretary. We are looking at every option, and among those is transportation. Say that again?

00:03:28.260 We are looking at every option, and among those is transportation.

00:03:31.540 Transporting women to other states. 0.98

00:03:36.240 Hilarious. Let's all have a nice laugh at the government official openly declaring his intention

00:03:41.020 to break the law. Now, it's guaranteed that everyone in the audience, plus the two people on stage,

00:03:46.600 have frequently claimed that Trump, Donald Trump, was undermining and destroying our democracy through

00:03:51.760 illegal activity that nobody could ever exactly specify or prove.

00:03:55.620 But the Biden administration can make a joke out of their criminality, and the same people simply

00:04:00.760 laugh. This is what happens when party loyalty eats your brain. Now, speaking of breaking the law,

00:04:06.700 amid all of the celebration last week, the Biden administration did something else. Rather,

00:04:12.940 amid the conservative celebrating, the rightful conservative celebrating, there's something the

00:04:17.480 Biden administration did amid all of that that should attract much more notice than it has so far.

00:04:24.380 The day before the Roe decision was announced, only 24 hours before the left dissolved into apoplectic

00:04:30.720 rage, screaming that women were being murdered and so on, the Biden administration proposed illegal

00:04:36.380 changes to the law with the intention of officially erasing women. They erased women, and then a day later

00:04:43.240 were accusing the other side of erasing women by overturning Roe v. Wade. Now, the law is Title IX.

00:04:49.260 And before we can talk about what Biden is doing to Title IX and with it today, we need to backtrack

00:04:56.440 a bit, I think, and lay some groundwork. So, Title IX has been really, in many ways, destructive and

00:05:01.640 intentionally confusing since its inception. As it originally appears in the Higher Education

00:05:06.660 Amendments of 1972, Title IX simply states that, quote,

00:05:10.160 No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in,

00:05:15.920 be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or

00:05:20.840 activity receiving federal financial assistance. Now, that sounds clear enough, right? And it's hard

00:05:26.400 to argue with the underlying principle. A public, federally funded institution should be open to

00:05:31.760 everybody, and nobody should be excluded based simply on their sex. Sounds simple. But then again,

00:05:36.520 a statement like, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed also

00:05:41.540 sounds pretty clear and straightforward and simple, and yet politicians and bureaucrats have found ways

00:05:45.560 of obscuring that point. And the same happened with Title IX, and it happened almost immediately.

00:05:50.960 The first consequence, intended or unintended, was that under the guise of Title IX, men's athletic

00:05:57.440 programs across the country were shut down, hundreds of them at a time. It was decided that the

00:06:02.920 prohibition on excluding people on the basis of sex meant somehow that every university must have an

00:06:08.780 equal number of men's and women's sports teams and an equal number of male and female athletes.

00:06:13.860 And this absurd quota system was codified into law, well, codified bureaucratically anyway,

00:06:20.320 as presidential administrations just began adding to Title IX legislation, even though adding to or

00:06:26.120 amending legislation is supposed to be a power reserved for the legislative branch. And by the time of the

00:06:31.360 Clinton administration, the assault on men's sports, we got to women's sports, the assault on women's 0.60

00:06:36.520 sports later, but originally it was an assault on men's sports. And by the time we got to Clinton

00:06:40.740 administration in the 90s, this assault was well underway. Universities that could not conjure up

00:06:46.800 enough female athletes to match the number of male athletes had to start shutting down male sports 0.99

00:06:52.780 teams for the sake of compliance. Of course, what these quota systems never took into account is that men

00:06:59.580 tend to be more interested in sports than women and people in general, right, tend to be more interested

00:07:05.200 in watching men's sports than in watching women's sports. And all of this adds up to a perfectly 0.98

00:07:09.860 rational, non-discriminatory, non-sexist reason for colleges to have more male athletes and to spend more

00:07:16.460 money on male sports. But too bad, said the bean counters, make it equal, make it 50-50, no matter what 0.95

00:07:23.060 it takes. At the same time, the issue of a sexual harassment got tangled up in the Title IX

00:07:28.540 enforcement web. Now, once again, in principle, everyone agrees that sexual harassment is bad and

00:07:35.440 should be punished. Seems pretty simple. But Title IX says nothing at all about sexual harassment or

00:07:41.360 sexual assault. The law simply doesn't, you know, it's not meant to deal with that problem because

00:07:47.720 not every law can deal with every problem simultaneously. You need separate laws to

00:07:52.600 handle separate issues. But not so, said the bureaucrats. If a school is not doing enough,

00:07:58.200 according to the bureaucrats, to root out and punish sexual harassers, then they're discriminating based 0.99

00:08:04.040 on sex and they're out of compliance with Title IX. It was decided. But what is sexual harassment

00:08:09.740 exactly? How do you define it? And how should schools be punishing it? If we're talking about criminal

00:08:15.800 harassment, shouldn't this be left to law enforcement and the criminal courts to adjudicate?

00:08:21.640 Lots of ambiguity was created and totalitarian bureaucrats, as we know, love nothing more

00:08:26.540 than ambiguity. Soon, sexual harassment had become a category encompassing a wide range of speech

00:08:31.900 and the alleged sexual harassers were being tried and convicted in these Title IX kangaroo courts and

00:08:38.140 these extrajudicial tribunals without any opportunity to defend themselves or face their accusers.

00:08:44.320 There was no evidentiary burden put on the accusers. Someone is just accused that the kangaroo court

00:08:50.240 says you're guilty and then their life is ruined. That was until the Trump administration. As an

00:08:55.960 article in the Wall Street Journal notes, quote, the high court has been clear that most speech does not

00:09:00.360 rise to the level of unlawful sexual harassment. Unfortunately, before 2020, many universities routinely

00:09:05.640 use Title IX as a club against protected speech, with Northwestern University famously initiating a

00:09:10.140 Title IX investigation against a professor merely for publishing an article that offended some

00:09:15.160 students. In 2020, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos tried to right the ship by issuing a regulation that 0.99

00:09:22.280 reiterated the legal boundary between protected speech and sexual harassment, as determined by the

00:09:27.500 Supreme Court in Davis First Monroe County Board of Education. In that 1999 decision, the court held that

00:09:32.560 a Title IX violation occurs only when the behavior is, quote, so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive

00:09:37.940 as to deny the victim access to education on the basis of sex. The DeVos regulation sought to enforce

00:09:42.980 that legal principle. But now, the Biden administration has leaped into action. Sensing another area of

00:09:50.320 existence where they could wreak havoc and another avenue through which to inject more misery and

00:09:54.640 confusion into American life, Joe Biden has, as of last week, officially proposed changes to Title IX.

00:10:01.920 Again, changes that he by no means has any legal power to actually enact, but what does that matter?

00:10:06.800 Here's the Wall Street Journal on Biden's proposed Title IX adjustments. And this was the official

00:10:12.320 proposal that was issued just last week. It says, the Biden administration's promise to repeal the

00:10:18.740 2020 rule and broaden the definition of harassment would effectively overturn a Supreme Court ruling

00:10:23.480 by administrative fiat, ushering in the return of unconstitutional speech codes designed to silence

00:10:28.840 dissent. The Biden rules are also likely to roll back due process protections for students accused of

00:10:34.880 sexual misconduct. In the American legal system, accused persons have a right to receive timely

00:10:39.020 notice of the accusations against them, view evidence, and present their side of the story to

00:10:43.220 an impartial arbiter. But in the years before the DeVos regulation, many students had their lives

00:10:48.060 ruined by campus kangaroo courts in which the mere accusation of misconduct was sufficient for

00:10:53.340 punishment. Nearly 200 of these students sued their universities for violating their rights and

00:10:57.640 received favorable court rulings. The DeVos regulation required schools to comply with these legal

00:11:01.800 rulings. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is set to give a federal seal of approval back

00:11:05.820 to these college star chambers. But that's not all. Not even close. The proposed change delivered by

00:11:13.840 the Department of Education on the 50th anniversary of Title IX would also finally and officially erase the

00:11:20.540 whole entire original point of Title IX by legally erasing women from existence, essentially. The new rule 0.72

00:11:28.920 would also, quote, this is reading from the rule now. It would protect LGBTQI plus students from 0.89

00:11:36.140 discrimination based on sexual orientation, gender identity, and sex characteristics. So yes, gender

00:11:43.760 identity would be a protected category under Title IX. So this piece of legislation that was written to

00:11:49.920 protect people against discrimination based on sex will be changed

00:11:55.860 by the executive branch just by declaring it to add gender identity into it. Now, needless to say,

00:12:04.080 the original wording of Title IX makes no mention of gender identity. And that's probably because at the

00:12:11.600 time of the higher education amendments of 1972, the concept of gender identity had only just been

00:12:17.780 invented by the pedophile John Money a few years before. None of the people involved with creating Title IX

00:12:23.860 had heard of gender identity. Hardly anyone in the world had heard of it. John Money had only recently

00:12:29.480 plucked this concept out of his fevered, degenerate imagination and was still at the time in the

00:12:33.960 process of attempting to verify it through a years-long sexually abusive experiment on two young boys

00:12:38.280 who were both driven to suicide. Now, 50 years later, this incoherent, nonsensical concept invented by

00:12:46.800 the sexologist equivalent of Joseph Mengele is or will be soon a matter of federal law.

00:12:55.320 And the effect is that now the very accommodations and facilities for women, which Title IX was meant 0.92

00:13:00.640 to establish and protect, will be taken away. Because now, according to Biden, a man's gender identity 0.98

00:13:10.360 as a woman, that is, his perception of himself as a woman, is as valid, as legally legitimate,

00:13:18.740 as legally protected as a woman's actual physical identity as a woman.

00:13:24.720 Now, the Department of Education explained in a statement, quote,

00:13:27.920 the proposed regulations will advance Title IX's goal of ensuring that no person experiences sex

00:13:32.400 discrimination, sex-based harassment, or sexual violence in education. As the Supreme Court wrote

00:13:37.240 in Bostock v. Clayton County, it is impossible to discriminate against a person on the basis of

00:13:41.800 sexual orientation or gender identity without discriminating against the individual based on

00:13:46.180 sex. The regulations will require that all students receive appropriate support in accessing all

00:13:51.040 aspects of education. Now, that doesn't make any sense, even on the left's own terms. Of course,

00:13:57.480 they can't really explain what gender identity is exactly because the idea itself makes no sense.

00:14:02.520 They also can't explain what sex is or what a woman is or what anything is anymore. But 0.95

00:14:05.980 to the extent that they can say anything semi-intelligible about gender identity,

00:14:10.200 they are the ones who always insisted that gender identity is not the same as sex.

00:14:15.060 These are two different things, they claimed. Yet now we're told that it's impossible to

00:14:19.660 discriminate on the basis of gender identity without discriminating on the basis of sex.

00:14:22.960 How so if the two things are totally different and separate? Well, the answer is that they're not

00:14:29.440 separate things, not anymore. They were for years when it was useful for them to be.

00:14:33.760 They were back when this whole thing was invented by John Money.

00:14:38.600 But now the cause of LGBT rights demands that gender identity and sex be put on the exact same 0.87

00:14:44.720 footing. A man who says he's a woman must be seen as a woman in every sense, including in the

00:14:51.480 biological sense. It would hurt his feelings if any difference at all was acknowledged.

00:14:56.440 This was a move made by activists a while ago. They have long since collapsed the very sex versus 0.96

00:15:03.380 gender distinction that they engineered. But now through this Title IX change, it'll become a matter 0.99

00:15:08.780 of law. Women will be officially, completely, finally erased as a distinct legal category. 1.00

00:15:16.560 And so will men. I mean, neither group exists anymore. We're all squished together in this hazy,

00:15:23.280 indistinguishable muddle. All of this for the sake of the LGBT lobby. 1.00

00:15:30.240 They've been given everything they want for years. And now they want to erase women officially, 1.00

00:15:35.760 legally, just the entire category out the window. And if Biden has anything to say about it,

00:15:43.080 they'll be given that too. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:53.540 Well, did you know that one out of three Americans regularly suffer from nausea?

00:17:26.760 All right, we begin with something completely horrifying. Unfortunately, this is the latest from

00:17:33.720 CNN. It says, 50 migrants are believed to have died after they and others were found in sweltering

00:17:38.980 conditions in a semi-truck in San Antonio. A federal law enforcement official said on Tuesday

00:17:44.200 in a scene that the mayor called a horrific human tragedy. The death toll, which the city's fire chief

00:17:48.720 gave Monday is 46, includes migrants from Mexico, Guatemala, and Honduras, according to officials.

00:17:54.700 Their discovery Monday comes as U.S. federal authorities have launched an unprecedented

00:17:58.400 operation to disrupt human smuggling networks amid an influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border.

00:18:06.880 So these were, and there's still a lot that isn't known about this, including, at least according

00:18:14.540 to the latest report I read, how exactly these people died. It would seem apparent that they were just

00:18:23.440 left locked in this, the back of this truck and just kind of left and abandoned there.

00:18:30.800 To die, I mean, an unthinkable death. And there are many children who are also a part of the death

00:18:39.120 toll here. Now, why did this happen? Like, who's responsible for it? Well, the first person

00:18:46.300 responsible for it is whoever did it, like the human smugglers who brought these people across

00:18:50.260 and then just left them to cook to death in the back of a truck. They're, that individual or those

00:18:55.780 people are responsible for their own actions, obviously. But can you point the finger anywhere

00:19:01.980 else? Well, yes, you obviously can. You could point it at the Biden administration. You could point

00:19:07.280 it at the left. You can point it at the Democrat party for their open borders policies that empower

00:19:15.320 and enable human smugglers and encourage, like enticing human smugglers to do exactly this.

00:19:23.280 This is what your compassionate, your so-called compassionate open borders policies, this is

00:19:29.420 what it gets you. This is what it leads to. Certainly these 46 or 50 people are not the first,

00:19:35.200 far from the first. I mean, hundreds, thousands of people have died

00:19:38.220 due to these kinds of policies. When we're talking about illegal immigrants who have died in the

00:19:48.240 process of being smuggled across, we're talking about American citizens who have died at the hands

00:19:54.540 of some of the people who have been able to come across. So here's what it comes down to,

00:20:00.300 I think. If you want to avoid these kinds of unimaginable human tragedies, here's what it

00:20:06.860 comes down to. You have two options, okay, when it comes to immigration. One is to completely open

00:20:16.300 the borders, have actual open borders, like officially, and just announce, we don't have borders

00:20:22.900 anymore. They don't exist, and so anyone can come, and there's, you don't have to even worry about being

00:20:29.340 a citizen. None of that exists anymore. Maybe stop issuing birth certificates, and birth certificates

00:20:37.360 are transphobic anyway most of the time, because they say male or female. Stop issuing birth certificates, 0.93

00:20:41.420 stop issuing social security cards, stop issuing anything like that. Nobody has official identification,

00:20:45.880 and the country just like, we all just exist on this plot of land, and there is no actual country

00:20:52.320 anymore. So that's one thing you could do. And if you do that, now I said that these are options that

00:20:57.000 would avoid and mitigate these human tragedies. There'd be a lot of terrible tragedies that would

00:21:01.940 happen as a result of that, but you wouldn't have human smugglers, because there'd be no reason to

00:21:06.020 smuggle people across, because there is no border to smuggle them across. So that's one option. 1.00

00:21:10.860 The only other option to avoid this particular problem of human smugglers murdering people

00:21:21.240 is to strictly enforce the borders. So either you just have none at all, or you strictly enforce them.

00:21:28.540 Anything in between those two options, you're going to have this. So then which one should we have?

00:21:35.580 Because if you're going to have borders, then you have to enforce them. And if you're not going to

00:21:40.620 enforce them, the worst possible, like the worst of all worlds is to have the border and not, but not 0.54

00:21:46.580 enforce it. So which one should you go with? Well, seems pretty obvious to me, and not just to me,

00:21:56.640 but to pretty much everyone who's ever existed and every country that's ever existed, that the latter

00:22:01.500 option is the one you go with. You have borders and you enforce them. There's never been a country

00:22:07.220 in history that has just had no borders at all, and not worried about having any kind of national

00:22:14.380 identity or national sovereignty at all. There's never been a country that's just given up on that,

00:22:18.280 because there can't be. Because the moment you give up on that, then you cease to exist as a country.

00:22:22.420 You're not even a country anymore. And if you're not a country anymore, then there's no reason for

00:22:26.960 anyone to come. You can't offer refuge to anyone, even if you wanted to. So having complete open

00:22:34.260 borders and essentially no country at all just doesn't make any sense. That's the end of the

00:22:41.200 country. That doesn't make any sense. And if you're worried about helping immigrants, you're certainly 1.00

00:22:46.400 not going to do that if you simply give up on the country, on having a country, which leaves us with

00:22:52.340 the option of you have borders and you enforce them strictly. Okay, you enforce them with men with 0.96

00:23:01.340 guns. That's what almost every other country in the world does. They have borders and they have men

00:23:08.120 with guns enforcing those borders, patrolling those borders. And that's what we should have. 0.82

00:23:14.060 And you do that and you're not going to have 50 immigrants who are left to cook to death in the 1.00

00:23:25.060 truck. Like you send the message out to the human smugglers, don't even try it. Okay, you try it and

00:23:33.520 we're going to catch you. We're going to make your life a nightmare. I mean, if you're really serious 0.85

00:23:40.560 about it, you know what you would do? One thing you would do is you would have a mandatory sentence,

00:23:46.540 capital punishment, execution for human smugglers. You really want to get serious about it. That's

00:23:52.340 what you would do. You try to smuggle people across the border. Given that human smugglers are some of

00:23:59.260 the worst human beings on earth and obviously a clear and present danger to innocent people,

00:24:04.720 women and children, then you send the message. We catch you smuggling people across. We're going to 0.98

00:24:08.840 convict you of the crime and then we're going to execute you in short order. 0.99

00:24:14.120 That would actually be the compassionate thing. You really care about people. That's the compassionate 0.99

00:24:18.420 policy. All right, let's move to this. The left right now is having a hard time deciding where to

00:24:26.200 direct their rage and hysteria. As we talked about yesterday, the Supreme Court issued another wildly

00:24:30.820 correct and necessary ruling on Monday, reaffirming the existence of the First Amendment, which is good.

00:24:37.080 And the First Amendment gives, as we found out in this case, it gives a football coach the right to

00:24:42.440 pray on the field with whichever players volunteer to participate. That's the actual exercise and

00:24:50.420 expression of religion. And you have that right in the First Amendment. And as we established yesterday,

00:24:56.900 when a coach kneels on a football field and prays, he is not a member of Congress enacting

00:25:03.140 legislation to establish a state religion. Just because a coach is praying on the field,

00:25:08.560 that doesn't mean that's the state religion and everyone has to do it. So he has the right to do

00:25:13.200 that. And that came, of course, on the heels of the Dobbs decision, which came directly on the heels of

00:25:18.160 the decision affirming our Second Amendment rights. So there's a lot of outrage to go around for the

00:25:22.320 left. And they're taking sort of a machine gun approach and spraying these talking points all over

00:25:26.700 the place just to see if it hits any target. One talking point they've settled on for the religious

00:25:31.100 liberty case is this. And we have a few examples of it. So here just from Twitter, pulled a few

00:25:38.160 examples. And this talking point is all over the place. Nancy Armour says, this is, and reacting to

00:25:43.580 the Supreme Court decision about the coach praying on the field, this is, to put up politely, BS. If he was a

00:25:50.300 Muslim or Jewish coach, you can be sure the ruling would have been different. And then what else do we have?

00:25:55.580 There's a bunch of them. Michelle Fate says, in case you were not convinced already that we're

00:26:00.200 living in a theocracy, you know, this would not have gone down this way if the coach was Muslim 1.00

00:26:04.600 or Jewish or Catholic. Holy S Supreme Court sides with coach who sought to pray after the game. Okay.

00:26:10.800 So there's another one. It wouldn't have happened. This is an interesting, this is a political cartoon

00:26:15.620 in the Washington Post. And it says, if you're okay with this, and then you see a picture of a coach

00:26:19.980 praying on the field, then you should be okay with this. And then it's a picture of,

00:26:24.940 this is a Satanist coach who's not praying, but he set up satanic iconography and candles and stuff

00:26:33.440 on the field. So if you're okay with having the coach pray, then you should also be okay with like

00:26:38.920 a satanic ritual in the middle of the football field. So that's a similar talking point. Jameel Hill

00:26:44.880 always has a great insight to offer. Says, the issue wasn't about him praying, but that he was pressuring

00:26:53.040 other students to join him. Please let a Muslim coach try this and see what happens.

00:26:58.680 Okay. So you get the idea. Now, Ben Wexler, who I think is a comedian, allegedly says,

00:27:03.540 I bet this ruling wouldn't have gone this way had it been Muslims or Jews. Okay. So we get the idea. 1.00

00:27:08.700 If this was Muslims, if, if the, if, if this coach was Jewish, totally different thing. Supreme Court

00:27:14.440 would have ruled against him. Conservatives would be rooting against him. Now this line is monumentally

00:27:20.720 stupid for a number of reasons. One of those reasons is that in the decision on Monday, in the 0.99

00:27:27.020 actual decision itself, if you read the decision, they actually specifically mentioned the religious

00:27:32.080 rights of Muslims. They mentioned and affirm the religious rights of Muslims in the language of the

00:27:37.980 decision. Um, also the court has in the last few years, in a, in an opinion, I believe that was

00:27:43.900 written by Scalia, an eight to one decision just a few years ago, defended the religious rights of

00:27:50.920 Muslims saying in that case that a Muslim woman was discriminated against because she wasn't allowed to 0.94

00:27:56.300 wear her hijab at, at work. And she was working at Abercrombie and Fitch because Abercrombie and Fitch

00:28:01.920 apparently still exists. So we know that that's false because we have a recent example of the Supreme

00:28:09.560 Court ruling in a case that had to do with the religious rights of Muslims. And in that case,

00:28:14.520 rather than a six to three decision, it was an eight to one decision in favor of her.

00:28:19.660 So actually the, the truth is the other way around. Um, because it was a Christian, this was a six to 1.00

00:28:27.400 three decision. If it was a Muslim, recent history shows us it would be a unanimous or at a minimum 0.96

00:28:34.380 an eight to one decision. So that's one reason why this talking point is really stupid. Uh, the other 1.00

00:28:43.120 reason is that once again, the left shows that they simply do not understand their opposition.

00:28:50.280 And as we've talked about recently, they don't understand us. Uh, they, they assume that we're

00:28:57.480 like them in that we see everything through a racial and ethnic lens. We judge everything through,

00:29:03.600 we, you know, we also have this intersectional identity politics thing of our own and that's

00:29:08.720 how we judge everything. And before we decide whether someone is right or wrong in behaving a

00:29:16.320 certain way, we need to know their skin color, uh, their specific religion, their ethnic background,

00:29:23.020 their sexual orientation, all that kind of stuff. But that, no, that's not how we operate.

00:29:28.700 It's just not, that's not how we see the world. In fact, the reason we have these stark divisions,

00:29:36.600 one of the main reasons in this country is that we don't see the world that way.

00:29:40.540 So you've got two sides who it's not just that they disagree on the issues. They see the world,

00:29:45.600 they view the world through dramatically different lenses. Um, so in fact, they may shock the left

00:29:54.300 to discover this, but we actually care about religious liberty. Like we actually just believe

00:30:02.900 in it. That's all. We believe that if you are a member of a religion, that you have the right to

00:30:10.280 practice that religion. And yes, you can do it on a football field because why couldn't you?

00:30:16.300 Would I be okay with a Muslim praying on a football field? Yes. Why wouldn't I be okay with that? 1.00

00:30:23.140 I assume that this has already happened. I assume that there are plenty of Muslim

00:30:27.340 athletes out there at every level of sports and in every sport. And I assume that they probably pray

00:30:33.400 on the field or on the court. Great. Why would I care about that? Uh, that's it. We believe that

00:30:44.720 people have the right to express their religions. I think the other thing is that on the left,

00:30:50.600 you know, they, uh, there, there are so many euphemisms and whatever they're saying on any

00:31:01.320 given issue, it's like, they don't, they don't actually believe what, what they're saying is that

00:31:06.300 they decide what they believe based on the circumstances. And this, this is a consequence

00:31:11.920 of being a relativist, that there is no real objective truth or anything like that. Um, there's

00:31:16.740 certainly no objective morality, uh, or anything approaching that. And so what is true, uh, and

00:31:24.000 what, what is factually true and what is morally correct changes depending on the circumstance.

00:31:29.620 And so that's another reason why they look at us talking about religious liberty and they simply

00:31:35.440 cannot believe that we actually just believe in religious liberty, no matter who is the one 0.98

00:31:42.680 enjoying that right. But we do, we actually do. All right. Kamala Harris gave her first interview

00:31:50.780 after the Roe decision and she was as eloquent as you might expect. Let's listen to that.

00:31:55.100 I couldn't believe it. Um, cause they actually did it. And, and here's what they did. They,

00:32:02.620 the court actually took a constitutional right that has been recognized for half a century

00:32:10.360 and took it from the women of America. That's shocking. When you think about it,

00:32:19.380 in terms of what that means, in terms of democratic principles, in terms of the ideals upon which we

00:32:25.760 were founded about liberty, about freedom. Um, you know, I thought about it as, you know,

00:32:31.580 a parent. We have two children who are in their twenties, a son and a daughter. I thought about it as a

00:32:38.220 godparent of teenagers. I thought of it as an aunt of, of, of preschool children and a woman

00:32:45.860 yourself. And a woman myself and the daughter of a woman and a granddaughter of a woman.

00:32:52.800 And, you know, my husband and I are actually talking about it. We have a, a 23 year old

00:32:57.480 and my mother-in-law is in her eighties. Our daughter will not know the rights for the court, 0.75

00:33:05.160 for the amount of time that my mother-in-law knew these rights, which is the right that, 0.72

00:33:11.920 that, that should be well settled, that a woman should have to make decisions about her own body. 0.91

00:33:20.180 And when we think about it, everyone has something at risk on this.

00:33:25.920 Hmm. I have never heard such a shocking and appalling, uh, transphobic rant from a mem, 0.67

00:33:38.260 from, from someone in the white house, from the vice president of the United States to sit there and 0.74

00:33:47.240 simply erase pregnant men. Uh, the most marginalized community in the world are pregnant men and she 0.98

00:34:00.620 erases them from existence. I'm, I'm, I'm appalled. And I really hope that members of the, uh, trans 1.00

00:34:10.940 community, members of the, the LGBT community, such as myself as an LGBT, uh, children's author, of course,

00:34:18.320 um, I hope that we can all remind Kamala Harris, the vice president, that, uh, all, everything she just

00:34:26.160 said, you can, that's gone now that is done. That's finished. All of that is done. So you,

00:34:32.020 you need to recalibrate here. I know this is the way that you're used to talking about this issue,

00:34:37.180 but that is done now on your side anyway. So you got to figure out a different way of approaching

00:34:42.760 this. I mean that she would have the gumption to sit there and say, I mean, not only is she saying

00:34:50.160 that this is an issue that only affects women because only women get pregnant, um, which is, 0.99

00:34:55.680 which is nothing but transphobic. That's a, it is a transphobic conspiracy theory that only women get 1.00

00:35:01.600 pregnant. Number one, but for her to even say so casually that she's a woman, well, as a woman myself,

00:35:11.840 how do you know you're a woman? How do you know that? I mean, the way these things are defined

00:35:20.400 these days, in fact, they're not defined at all. I find that to be quite, quite shocking. Uh, in fact,

00:35:27.760 lots of famous and semi-famous people have been chiming in about this. We have another one. Here's a,

00:35:32.040 if you're ready for some comedy, it's been a little heavy so far in the show. So let's, let's do some

00:35:35.560 comedy. I think a little bit of a comedic relief. Um, Wanda Sykes, who's a famous comedian,

00:35:41.080 she was on with Stephen Colbert, another famous comedian. They're doing, it's a late night show.

00:35:46.260 This is a time to just, you watch the late night shows, you kick back, you relax, you have a good

00:35:50.240 laugh is all. And so here is a little bit, some more great comedy from, uh, from Stephen Colbert

00:35:56.960 on the late show. Listen, how are you doing? How are you doing? I'm a black gay woman and I have a

00:36:03.280 daughter. So I'm not doing so well right now.

00:36:10.660 I'm a little salty.

00:36:12.280 You're a little salty?

00:36:13.160 I'm a little salty right now.

00:36:14.800 Okay.

00:36:15.080 Yeah.

00:36:15.740 Yeah.

00:36:16.140 Well, sprinkle a little salt.

00:36:17.420 Yeah.

00:36:18.280 Let's put some flavor on here. 0.99

00:36:19.700 It just sucks, man. It, it, it really does. I mean, you know, it's like the, the country, 1.00

00:36:24.600 it's no longer a democracy, right? I mean, we're, it's no longer majority rule.

00:36:29.780 No, certainly not in the Senate, certainly not in the representation of the Supreme Court.

00:36:33.460 It's not, it's not, it's no longer majority rule. And, and I mean, it's like the, these

00:36:37.840 judges, they just, they basically lied when they were, you know, being, during their confirmation

00:36:44.460 hearings, right?

00:36:45.740 Yeah.

00:36:46.680 Especially Kavanaugh.

00:36:50.320 Yeah.

00:36:52.780 So how you, how can you be a Supreme Court justice and you just, and you just lying? You know

00:36:57.360 what, they had their fingers crossed or something or what? I mean.

00:36:59.780 I mean, it's, yeah, it's, it's just, it's just a bunch of horse s**t. It really is. 0.98

00:37:05.240 Yeah. 0.97

00:37:05.600 Well.

00:37:12.400 Last name.

00:37:13.260 Go ahead.

00:37:13.640 No, please, ma'am.

00:37:14.600 No.

00:37:15.480 Well, to me, it's like, the problem is that middle stuff. It's, it's those states in the

00:37:20.120 middle, that, that, that red stuff.

00:37:22.880 Why do they get to tell us what to do when the majority of us live out, you know, New 0.97

00:37:29.200 York, California, and we're paying for all this crap, really? I mean, right? 0.97

00:37:35.640 Great comedy is always from the late show, Stephen Colbert. I mean, in a certain way,

00:37:39.560 it is great comedy. And also it gives us, it gives us some more insight into the mindset

00:37:44.580 of the elitist liberal, because everything you just heard there was, was confused, garbled. 1.00

00:37:52.400 Here is, well, we find this, this mix, this very potent mixture of rampant stupidity mixed 0.99

00:38:03.280 with this snobby dismissal, you know, this self-important dismissal of the majority of 1.00

00:38:09.840 the country. So on one hand, she's like, oh, the red stuff, the red, she's talking about

00:38:14.400 human beings, by the way. Those are human beings. If you're, if you're, if you disagree

00:38:18.980 with her, if you're a conservative, then you're just red stuff. Just get rid of it. Sweep 0.91

00:38:23.280 it away. Just whatever. Just maybe just send in, send in the, the, the troops, just, you

00:38:30.020 know, just get rid of them, ship them off somewhere. That's how she views most of the

00:38:37.880 country, red stuff. And while she's saying that she's also revealing that she, she does

00:38:45.880 not understand at all how our system of government actually works. She say it sounds, it's like,

00:38:52.680 what is it? What happened to majority rule? This is a Supreme court decision, Wanda. It's

00:38:59.500 majority rule on the court. Okay. But that's not how court, the Supreme court, they don't

00:39:06.060 take a poll of Americans and then decide based on that. That's just not how the Supreme court

00:39:14.420 works. And by the way, just so you know, if they, if things were decided that way, we would

00:39:22.600 not have what you want, which is abortion from, you know, legal abortion from a moment

00:39:30.000 of conception all the way till birth. Because it's only a very small sliver of the most deranged

00:39:36.620 and bloodthirsty and morally debased Americans like, like Wanda Sykes and others who favor 0.99

00:39:42.900 that. So you wouldn't actually want majority rule in the first place. But either way, that's

00:39:53.240 not how the Supreme court makes decisions. But as we know, when institutions, like we talked

00:40:01.660 about a couple of days ago, institutions are broken. They don't work anymore. They need to

00:40:07.980 be reformed or destroyed, incinerated and rebuilt when they stop doing what the left wants. The 0.98

00:40:17.000 moment they fall out of line, out of step with what the left demands, they're broken. That means

00:40:23.520 they're broken now and they have to be, we have to get rid of them, throw them in the wood chipper.

00:40:28.540 That's, that's the attitude. Okay. I want to play one other thing for you. Actually, a couple of

00:40:31.480 things before we get to the comment section. So again, we've got, you know, women, especially, 1.00

00:40:36.180 especially famous women, in this case, a nominally famous women, woman telling their abortion stories

00:40:41.160 in response to Roe. So here's Ireland Baldwin, who's the daughter of famous gunman, Alec Baldwin,

00:40:46.840 telling her own story. And she starts for some reason talking about the time she was raped and

00:40:53.520 she, she, she did not conceive a child during the rape. So that the rape had nothing to do with

00:40:58.560 the abortion whatsoever, but she starts by talking about that. And then eventually she gets around to

00:41:03.240 talking about the time she actually conceived, um, through consensual sex and then decided to

00:41:08.240 abort. And I want you to listen to the reason that she gives. Listen. Flash forward to another point

00:41:13.580 in my life when I did have a boyfriend and I did become pregnant. At that point in time, I would say

00:41:20.280 we were very unhappy together. And he made it pretty clear that he never wanted kids or marriage.

00:41:26.940 Um, he barely wanted to be in a serious relationship. I chose to get an abortion because I know exactly

00:41:34.760 what it felt like to be born between two people who hated each other. Could I have had that baby and

00:41:41.500 put that baby up for adoption? Maybe, maybe not. But choosing to raise a baby without my own financial

00:41:49.200 security, uh, without a loving and supportive partner, uh, that wasn't going to work for me.

00:41:55.900 I chose me and I would choose me again. It's your life. It's your choice.

00:42:02.300 Now, this is great. I mean, the reasoning, everything you heard there is not great,

00:42:05.800 but the fact that she's saying this is great. And, um, I want more feminists and pro-abortion women 0.94

00:42:11.440 to be honest and, uh, and say this kind of stuff out loud because people need to hear it.

00:42:18.680 You know, the, the vast majority, vast, vast majority of abortion in this country,

00:42:22.100 they have nothing to do with rape, nothing to do with life of the mother or anything like that.

00:42:25.500 Uh, these, these very rare, uh, cases like that is nothing. It's just exactly what you heard there.

00:42:31.880 Um, it's someone who had consensual sex, got pregnant and, uh, you know, could I put it up for 0.83

00:42:37.580 adoption? Eh, maybe, maybe not. What do you mean? Maybe, maybe not. Of course you could have put the

00:42:42.320 child up for adoption. Yeah. I just didn't feel like it. I didn't feel like it. That's what she

00:42:46.700 said. I, I didn't feel like giving birth to the child and going through the process of putting them

00:42:52.780 up for adoption. And so, uh, just killed the child cause I chose me. And that is the pro-abortion 0.93

00:43:01.900 argument. Okay. You, you whittle everything else away, get rid of all the euphemisms, everything

00:43:07.800 else, all the talking points, all the propaganda, cut all of that BS away. And what you're left

00:43:13.000 with is exactly what you just heard there. I chose me. And there's quite a bit of incoherence

00:43:20.600 mixed in because she also says, well, I, I know what it's like to be born, uh, to parents who don't

00:43:26.260 want me. Okay. Well, that's, that's terrible that you were born in, that you were, that you lived in

00:43:32.260 that situation as a child. And it sounds like your parents are pretty awful. In fact, we know that

00:43:36.520 they're awful people, but yeah, but you're, you're happy that you're alive though. Right? So you were

00:43:42.960 born into a terrible situation. Um, but you're still living. I mean, you haven't, you haven't killed

00:43:50.360 yourself, thank God. And so clearly you're happy to be alive and not only you're happy to be alive,

00:43:55.040 but you, but your life is, as you attest, your life is extremely important. In fact, you believe

00:43:59.920 that your life is more important than anything else. Your life is so important that it comes above

00:44:03.340 the life of your own child. You could, you could kill your life, according to you, is so important

00:44:08.000 that you could kill your own child just to protect your own convenience and your own lifestyle. 0.99

00:44:16.180 And that is in spite of the fact that you were essentially, as you say, an unwanted child, 0.87

00:44:22.160 tragically. So what does that tell us? It tells us that even if a child is born into a situation like

00:44:30.940 this, um, they are still worth something. They have, they, they not worth something. They have

00:44:38.440 infinite value because it's a human life all the same. Can't expect her to connect those dots though.

00:44:45.140 All right. One other thing, Billy Joe Armstrong, who apparently still leads the band Green Day,

00:44:49.460 he's like 50 years old. I could see him right there. Oh, that's a sad sight. So he's this out of

00:44:55.280 shape, 50 year old dude, still wearing eye makeup and hair dye, still singing angsty breakup songs that

00:45:02.800 he wrote when he was, you know, 17. And anyway, he announced during a show, I think this is in the UK,

00:45:08.160 he announced that he's renouncing his citizenship because of the Roe decision and he's given up on

00:45:14.240 America. Let's listen to that. Now, you know, the great thing is that Armstrong lives in California,

00:45:35.980 which has no abortion restrictions at all. So, so now in protest, he's going to move to the UK,

00:45:42.580 I guess. So in, in protest, he's going to move from a place where there are zero abortion 0.64

00:45:48.320 restrictions to a place that has abortion restrictions. Makes a lot of sense, but never

00:45:53.960 mind that. Uh, I'm just devastated that he's leaving. Just like I was devastated yesterday by

00:45:58.860 the, you know, the Twitch streamer who I, who I forgot her name already, but, um, oh, Pokimane.

00:46:06.280 First Pokimane leaves, you know, you wake up one morning and Pokimane is nowhere to be found.

00:46:13.180 She has left all of us behind in the dark, in the cold, crying out.

00:46:20.660 And then the next day you find out that Billy Joe Armstrong is also leaving.

00:46:25.820 Think about, I want you to really think about this because you think you might think it's a joke,

00:46:29.320 but it's not. Think about all the great music that he's made in the last 25 years, let's say.

00:46:36.680 And now we're going to be deprived of that in this country. Think about all the great songs that

00:46:43.880 Green Day has made in the last 25 years. So many great songs. Like, um,

00:46:51.960 well, you know, there are a lot of them. I'll think more about that and we'll, we'll get to

00:46:59.060 the comment section. You know, with the ever increasing number of, uh, makes and models that

00:47:12.340 are out there, it's impossible to stock all the car parts that you need in a traditional

00:47:16.060 chain storefront. Why indoor often pointless or intimidating, frankly, terrifying questions

00:47:23.000 that you may hear from the counterman. Uh, if you go to the, to the auto parts store,

00:47:28.740 why deal with any of that? You could just go to rockauto.com at home, uh, or you could just pull

00:47:33.840 your phone out of your pocket and go to rockauto.com. It's as simple as that. Rockauto.com is a family

00:47:38.480 business. They've been serving auto parts customers online for 20 years. Go to rockauto.com to shop for auto

00:47:43.240 and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers. They have everything from engine control modules

00:47:47.340 and brake parts to tail lamps, motor oil, even new carpet. The rockauto.com catalog is unique and

00:47:52.000 remarkably easy to navigate. Quickly see all the parts available for your vehicle and choose the

00:47:56.520 brand specifications and prices you prefer. Best of all, prices at rockauto.com are reliably low

00:48:01.680 and the same for professionals and do-it-yourselfers. So why spend up to twice as much for the same parts?

00:48:06.360 Go to rockauto.com right now, see all the parts available for your car or truck. Remember as always to

00:48:10.520 write Walsh in their how did you hear about us box so they know that I sent you. Uh, the free j says

00:48:16.780 that interpretive dancer they hired to play Matt is pretty impressive. A lot of comments like this. So

00:48:24.300 there is this, speaking of conspiracy theories, there's this conspiracy theory that has started in

00:48:31.360 the comment section, you know, on among the sweet baby gang who I thought were above this sort of thing.

00:48:36.480 But the conspiracy theory is that for the interpretive dance that I performed for you

00:48:41.580 yesterday in celebration of having a million subscribers on YouTube, that it wasn't actually

00:48:45.680 me. Um, so what do you, what do you think? You think we hired an interpretive dancer to hide behind

00:48:53.240 this screen right here and then I just walked out and he performed the dance while I hid behind the

00:48:57.220 screen? You think that would be such a weird, bizarre thing to do? And, uh, no, that's, that is a dance

00:49:04.700 that I'm not even going to say that I choreographed it because there was no choreograph. It was me

00:49:10.440 in, in a, in a pure ecstatic, spontaneous moment of joy, expressing myself through the power of dance.

00:49:22.700 And for you to disregard that and claim that it wasn't even me dancing is just,

00:49:26.900 is deeply offensive to me and hurtful. Um, Rob says, damn, Matt can dance like an angel, 0.99

00:49:33.120 absolutely majestic. And anyone who thinks this isn't him is a bigot. Thank you, Rob. 0.99

00:49:38.220 Uh, Eathman says, Matt's dance was so good. It caused him to lose his beard. Another part of the

00:49:44.220 conspiracy theory. So every time there's a conspiracy theory, right? You have people, they,

00:49:47.300 they're picking up little, uh, little, what they think are breadcrumbs here and there,

00:49:51.400 and they're kind of stitching it together, pattern, kind of doing this pattern matching thing.

00:49:55.520 And so part of the conspiracy theory is that while I was dancing, I didn't have a beard and then, but,

00:50:02.700 you know, but I do have a beard and I think I can't explain, you know, there are a lot of weird

00:50:08.280 optical illusions that happen. I can't explain it, but I, what I like to think is that my dance was so

00:50:15.780 beautiful that I was almost transformed in that moment to appear to be almost an entirely different

00:50:23.460 person. That's how I explain it. Uh, Bijan says, uh, I really like your views on some subjects,

00:50:32.100 but you have no right to determine what's right for a woman though. If you have a daughter and she 0.93

00:50:36.680 got raped, then pregnant, you think that's a gift from Sky Daddy. Okay. Uh, of course, as always, 1.00

00:50:45.020 the pro-abortion person going right to make it as personal as possible and, uh, going right to the

00:50:51.000 hardest possible cases. So the first thing I would say to you is why are you going right there?

00:50:56.040 Like before we talk about the 1% of cases, can we talk about the 99%? What about the 99% of cases

00:51:03.180 where there is a consensual activity that results in a child and then the child is killed as a form

00:51:10.040 of birth control? Why don't you want to talk about that? And as for the cases of rape, once again,

00:51:18.400 you know, um, do you believe that a person should be punished to the point of death

00:51:26.840 for the manner in which they were conceived? So a child is conceived in rape and we're going to

00:51:36.540 dole out punishments. Sounds great to me, punish the rapist. Um, but you want to punish the child 0.99

00:51:45.020 for the manner of, of that child's conception, which she had no choice in. That to me is what

00:51:55.660 doesn't make any sense. Um, Andrina says, Matt, you're such a role model for what I hope my sons

00:52:02.780 grow up to be like. So you want your sons to grow up to be professional interpretive dancers,

00:52:08.100 apparently, which is, I think is a great goal for any child. Um, the best backpacker says,

00:52:15.080 Matt is losing touch. There are several tremors sequels. Get with it, Matt. Yeah. I didn't say

00:52:19.620 anything that would suggest otherwise. In fact, I, I actually think I was thinking about this the

00:52:23.980 other day. It just so happens. I was thinking about tremors and, um, there are very few movies

00:52:29.980 where the sequel is better than the original. And I actually think the set, the tremors two,

00:52:33.260 two, um, is, uh, is better than the original, but you're not going to, you're not going to outdo

00:52:38.700 me in a discussion about tremors. Okay. I've seen the whole series and we could talk about it. If you

00:52:42.140 really want to talk about it, we can. Uh, Victor says, how did Matt say Dick's head without skipping

00:52:47.840 a beat or cracking a smile? Pure professional. I'm a lesser man. I don't know what you're talking

00:52:51.780 about. There was no joke meant there at all. I was talking about the, uh, the Dick's head. It was

00:52:57.400 the CEO of, of the company Dick's. That's all I was trying to say. Tomorrow night, June 29th,

00:53:03.220 is Backstage Live. It's our biggest live event of the year. Once again, we're at the historic

00:53:07.100 Ryman Auditorium in Nashville for what will be historic night for sure. And if you didn't see

00:53:12.080 last year's event, well, uh, just check out. This is a nice preview for what's to come. Watch.

00:53:16.780 Welcome to the Daily Wire Backstage Live at the famous Ryman Auditorium.

00:53:21.540 It was amazing. We were in the presence of greatness. The energy of having everyone

00:53:26.080 on the same page was amazing. If your family member is still waiting for Fauci to give them permission

00:53:31.460 to leave their house, it might be time to cut that off. I'm actually pretty excited to meet

00:53:36.260 all of them. I love everybody's opinion individually. I don't have a favorite. I like

00:53:39.500 them all. I had found out a way to make football players cry in high school. My high school experience

00:53:44.880 had been a lot. I'm just excited to be here and be surrounded by like-minded people and to just,

00:53:50.940 you know, feel that energy. Who should we remove from office? One politician. The most powerful

00:53:55.900 politician in the country. Dr. Fauci. What are you talking about? We're doing culture here. I'm so

00:54:01.260 thrilled to see this happening. If they say to half of the country, you can't, that half of the

00:54:05.720 country needs to say, screw you. We will. Tune in to live stream to the live stream tomorrow at 8pm 0.99

00:54:42.660 You don't want to miss it. Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:54:45.120 Well, if you want to know the shape of a culture, all you need to do is look at its art.

00:54:54.680 And we know that by this metric, just as by literally any other metric, the shape of our 0.90

00:54:59.800 culture is less a shape and more an oozing, decaying lump of putrid sludge. You could come 0.84

00:55:05.920 to this determination, of course, by witnessing the art, quote unquote, produced by the music industry or

00:55:09.920 Hollywood. But perhaps that would be unfair because modern pop music is god-awful and stupid 1.00

00:55:15.060 and ugly and bad, the auditory equivalent of the stuff that leaks out of an overflowing septic 1.00

00:55:19.780 tank. But then again, it's not really trying to be anything more than that. Pop music barely

00:55:25.180 qualifies as music, just as Hollywood cinema barely qualifies as cinema. So maybe for a fairer and more

00:55:30.680 accurate test, we should look at the sort of art that's actually applauded and hailed and promoted

00:55:35.760 as art. You know, what art do we celebrate and hold up as especially beautiful and meaningful?

00:55:42.640 Well, we already know that if we look at the sorts of modern art exhibits and paintings which attract

00:55:48.200 crowds to art museums and sell for millions of dollars to wealthy people who want to look

00:55:52.540 intelligent or simply launder money or both, the situation doesn't improve very much. Anybody could

00:55:57.820 vomit onto a canvas and call the piece vomit on a canvas and sell it for $86 million. That's the state

00:56:04.780 of modern art. So then perhaps maybe we leave that sort of art to the side and forget about pop music

00:56:09.940 or Hollywood and all that and look instead to poetry. You know, that's a very pure art form.

00:56:17.240 And maybe this will be our bright spot. Or maybe not. Because unfortunately, with all due respect to

00:56:23.000 my guys, Tekashi69 and Poo Shiesty, our most famous living poet in America is a woman by the name of

00:56:29.700 Amanda Gorman. Now, in 2017, Gorman was named the first ever National Youth Poet Laureate of the

00:56:35.240 United States. A couple of years later, she was invited to deliver a poem at Joe Biden's inauguration.

00:56:40.500 Then she became the first poet to ever perform during the Super Bowl. And shortly after that,

00:56:44.660 she released a book of poetry called The Hill We Climb, which I think is also the name of a Miley Cyrus

00:56:50.180 song, as it just so happens. Or I could be wrong about that. But anyway, then she became the first poet

00:56:55.460 ever in history to debut as a number one bestseller, at least on USA Today, but I think across the board.

00:57:01.700 Now, this is all in spite of the fact that she is really, really, really bad at poetry. Her award-winning,

00:57:10.640 best-selling, nationally applauded and recognized poetry sounds like something that a bored and angsty

00:57:15.920 seventh grade girl might scribble on the dividers in her three-ring binder during algebra class or

00:57:21.180 something. If kids still use three-ring binders anyway, I don't know. Gorman writes,

00:57:25.460 a bit like Dr. Seuss, if Dr. Seuss was a female and a feminist and had a fraction of his charm, 0.82

00:57:32.120 intelligence, and creativity. So maybe she doesn't write like Dr. Seuss at all on second thought.

00:57:36.900 The better analogy might be a woke, self-important fortune cookie. And her Twitter page with 1.6

00:57:44.720 million followers is just pockmarked with cringy, half-rhymed cliches. For example, on June 24th,

00:57:51.340 the Poet Laureate tweeted, quote, it's more important than ever that we come together.

00:57:59.700 Wow, amazing. You know, some aspiring poets might be influenced by Shakespeare or Edgar Allen Poe or

00:58:07.000 John Milton, but Amanda Gorman seems to primarily be drawing her inspiration from the inspirational

00:58:12.260 slogans on gift shop keychains. And back on June 1st, she had some more stunning insight when she

00:58:19.920 tweeted, quote, this may be how things have been, but not how they have to be. The only question

00:58:28.400 that one raises is whether Amanda Gorman is influencing Kamala Harris or is it the other way

00:58:32.680 around? Yet none of these gems come close to the great heights that Gorman reaches when composing

00:58:38.480 poetic odes to infanticide. Gorman, in keeping with her poetry style, seems to choose the ugliest and

00:58:44.680 dumbest side of every issue, which of course means that she's rabidly pro-abortion. And in the lead 1.00

00:58:50.300 up to Roe being overturned, Gorman went viral with a pro-abortion rant that I can only speculate is

00:58:55.900 supposed to sound a little bit like poetry. Let's listen to a bit of that.

00:59:00.560 Eight reasons to stand up today against abortion bans in the United States. One, let's get this

00:59:06.940 straight. When the penalty for rape is less than the penalty for abortion after the rape, you know,

00:59:12.980 this isn't about caring for women and girls. It's about controlling them. Two, through forcing them 1.00

00:59:18.720 into motherhood before they're ready, these bans steadily sustain the patriarchy, but also chain 1.00

00:59:24.480 families in poverty and maintain economic inequality. Three, pregnancy is a private and personal decision

00:59:32.240 and should not require the permission of any politician. Four, for all time, regardless of whether

00:59:38.860 it's a crime, women have and will always seek their own reproductive destinies. 1.00

00:59:46.100 Now, it may sound like she's simply plagiarizing from the pro-abortion talking point she found in

00:59:51.160 the comment section of a feminist blog, but it counts as poetry because she moves her hands around a lot 1.00

00:59:58.360 when she says it. So I could, actually every monologue on this show could be, I could be my,

01:00:04.900 I could be poet laureate delivering poetry every day just by moving my hands a lot as I'm delivering

01:00:11.720 the monologue. Now, as for the substance of her, of her claims, to the extent that we can use the

01:00:17.460 word substance to describe anything that she says or does, it should simply go without saying that

01:00:22.660 she's, she's making things up. It's not true that the penalty for abortion is worse than the penalty

01:00:27.800 for rape. At the time she said that there was no penalty for abortion because Roe had not yet been

01:00:32.600 overturned. Now that it has been, there still will be no penalty in many states. And in the states

01:00:37.960 where abortion will be banned, I'm not aware of a single one that plans to instate harsher penalties

01:00:42.280 on women who get abortions than they do on rapists. And if this fictional scenario were to ever come to

01:00:47.540 fruition, the way to correct it would be to make the punishments for convicted rapists more severe.

01:00:55.020 Personally, you couldn't make them too severe for my taste. Either way, the crucial point here is that

01:00:59.960 there should be no penalty for being conceived by a rapist. Least of all, should it carry the penalty

01:01:05.840 of death? Punish the rapist, don't punish the baby. But that's not all that Gorman had to say about this 0.85

01:01:11.580 topic. On the day Roe was overturned, she published this masterpiece, which has been clearly, you know,

01:01:17.680 something she's been working on for many months, honing and crafting, though she still forgot to run it

01:01:23.040 through spellcheck before posting it. But here's the poem. We will not be delayed. We will not masquerade

01:01:31.920 to the tale of a handmaid. We will not let Roe v. Wade slowly fade. Because when we show up today,

01:01:42.440 we're already standing up with the tomorrow we made. I made it a little better with the hand

01:01:52.200 movements. She spells handmade the way that you spell it if you were referring to a sweater that

01:01:57.360 your grandmother knitted for you. Now, it's possible that she meant it that way. Like maybe she's talking

01:02:02.640 about this has something to do with Etsy, like things, I don't know. But I think we can assume

01:02:07.880 that she was trying to refer to the handmaid's tale. And that's obviously the most trite, cliched,

01:02:13.280 overplayed, and boring thing to do when discussing abortion. So we can be sure that Gorman intended to

01:02:17.980 do just that. Of course, the line, we will not be masquerade to the tale of a handmaid, no matter

01:02:23.920 how you spell handmaid, makes no sense at all. I'm not sure that Gorman understands what the word

01:02:28.580 masquerade even means. Never mind also that Roe v. Wade didn't slowly fade, but in fact was dispatched

01:02:34.260 all at once through one glorious Supreme Court decision. I understand that she chose all these

01:02:38.980 words because they rhyme, not because they're true or make sense. But as unintelligible as her

01:02:46.580 word salad is, it could never be less coherent or explicable than her status as an acclaimed poet in

01:02:53.440 the first place. A status which is now, I must say, summarily stripped from her because she is 1.00

01:03:02.380 canceled. And we'll leave it there for today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening.

01:03:06.460 Have a great day. Godspeed.
