The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 994 - When Parents Lose Custody For Refusing To Trans Their Kids

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh show, the trans cult has a powerful ally in the courts, and more and more 1.00

00:00:05.160 we're seeing courts take custody away from parents who will not affirm their children as trans. Today

00:00:09.600 we'll talk about one especially harrowing and tragic example of this. Also, Joe Biden continues

00:00:13.920 his transition into a ventriloquist dummy. We're starting to see some early primary polling data,

00:00:18.760 and it's a hilarious disaster for the Democrats. Pete Buttigieg says his feelings are hurt,

00:00:23.080 that not everyone agrees with his definition of marriage. CNN claims that Biden can save

00:00:27.540 all life on earth with an executive order, and in our daily cancellation, Kamala Harris unveils the

00:00:32.220 latest, most cutting-edge innovation in the field of virtue signaling. All of that and more today on

00:00:37.220 the Matt Walsh show. The Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe is a huge, albeit long overdue step

00:00:52.320 in the right direction, but there's still a long way to go to rid our country of abortion completely. 0.88

00:00:56.860 Many companies are bowing to the woke mob by donating to pro-choice causes and candidates,

00:01:01.440 or reimbursing their employees' travel expenses so that they can go and get an abortion if they

00:01:06.020 live in a pro-life state. That's what's going on, and what if I told you that if you're currently on

00:01:12.940 a phone plan with one of the major carriers, you might be supporting these companies and their

00:01:16.880 pro-abortion agendas without even knowing it, just when you pay your monthly phone bill.

00:02:04.240 We know that the trans agenda is anti-truth, anti-reality, anti-science, but that alone is not 1.00

00:02:12.740 what makes it so harmful. I mean, flat earthers are also anti-reality, and yet we don't spend a lot

00:02:18.040 of time worrying that our kids will get sucked into that cult. What makes the trans agenda so 1.00

00:02:22.900 dangerous and destructive is that the truths it militates against are the most basic truths of all.

00:02:28.700 It seeks to warp a person's understanding of themselves, of their own identity. I mean,

00:02:32.920 it's one thing to have wild misconceptions about the shape of the earth. It's another to have wild

00:02:38.020 misconceptions about yourself, your body, your identity, your place in the world. But the trans 1.00

00:02:44.920 cult does something else too, which many other cults before it have done, though none with anywhere near

00:02:49.340 this level of success. It attacks and destabilizes the family. One of the many truths that it opposes is

00:02:56.840 the truth of the nuclear family. It hates the family because that institution, the family, 0.84

00:03:02.240 attests so powerfully to the true nature of the human person and of the two sexes.

00:03:07.340 It also hates the family because children raised in stable families, protected and guided by parents

00:03:14.640 in a loving and sturdy marriage, are much more difficult to reach and indoctrinate.

00:03:20.700 They're not impervious. They're not impervious to brainwashing, but they are significantly shielded

00:03:25.420 against it. A family provides a child with an anchor. He is secured, he's sheltered, protected.

00:03:32.500 The groomers then have to take away this anchor, blow up the family, leaving kids unmoored and

00:03:39.080 unprotected, vulnerable, like a baby deer wandering through the forest, easy prey for the wolves.

00:03:46.060 This is why the groomer spent so much time and so much effort trying desperately to place this wedge

00:03:51.560 in between the child and the parent. This is why we hear about so many schools that have policies of

00:03:56.240 intentionally hiding a student's LGBT self-identification from parents. And even after

00:04:02.000 all the backlash and outrage over these sorts of policies, still many teachers continue to engage

00:04:08.020 in this kind of predatory behavior and brag about it openly. Here's just the latest example from this week.

00:04:14.160 If you as a teacher have a student come to you and tell you that they are gay, part of the LGBTQ 0.85

00:04:21.620 community, whether they are looking into transitioning, anything like that, but they don't want their 1.00

00:04:28.220 parents to know yet. The question on the news was, as a teacher, is it your responsibility or as a school,

00:04:37.900 is it your responsibility to inform the parents of what their child is going through?

00:04:43.260 On the news, they all said, yes, it is the schools, the teachers, the counselors, due diligence to let

00:04:50.400 these parents know what the kids are going through. As a teacher, I disagree. I did have a student come and

00:04:57.060 tell me this last year that she was gay. She did not want her mom to know, and I respected her wishes. 0.92

00:05:03.020 Now that teacher, like so many others, wants to have intimate knowledge of a child that the child's parents

00:05:10.260 do not have. This is a classic cult tactic. It's right from the cult handbook. The recruiter of the cult

00:05:17.900 seeks to form a bond with the recruit that supersedes any bond they have with anybody else, including and

00:05:24.240 especially family members. Take that crowbar and pry the child away from the parent. That's the idea. 1.00

00:05:30.720 And increasingly, the prying is taking more aggressive and invasive forms, often involving

00:05:36.500 the courts acting as the crowbar. In my film, What is a Woman?, we heard the story, of course,

00:05:41.500 of a father in Canada who was sent to jail and lost custody of his daughter because he wouldn't affirm

00:05:48.040 her as a boy. For simply insisting that his daughter is his daughter, that she is his daughter and not

00:05:54.120 his son, that the girl he helped conceive and raise still exists, he lost everything.

00:06:01.820 This sort of thing happens frequently in Canada and will become even more frequent with the recent

00:06:05.680 passage of an anti-conversion therapy law, so-called, which declares it an illegal form of conversion

00:06:11.980 therapy for anyone, including parents, to refuse to use biologically incorrect pronouns for a child.

00:06:17.780 If you do that, if you call a girl she, and she wants to be called he, then you are now engaging in 0.79

00:06:23.360 conversion therapy. It's against the law. Your criminal will put you in jail and take your kids

00:06:28.640 away. But it's also starting to happen in the U.S. Now, there have already been well-known cases like

00:06:34.700 the Jeff Younger case that you've probably heard about. Even before that, there were cases like

00:06:40.160 one in Ohio, for example, where two parents, in this case, there are two parents still married,

00:06:45.420 lost custody of their daughter because they refused to allow her to medically transition into a boy.

00:06:50.020 The judge legally kidnapped the girl and gave custody to the grandparents that she,

00:06:56.880 Judge Sylvia Hendon, trusted would facilitate the child's drugging and mutilation. Now, that happened

00:07:01.760 back in 2018. And it's only going to become more common now as time continues, which means we're

00:07:09.540 going to see more and more stories like that of Jeanette Cooper. Now, Jeanette Cooper is a 44-year-old

00:07:15.260 woman whose tragic tale was highlighted this week by journalist Kelsey Bollard of the Independent

00:07:20.660 Women's Forum. On the IWF website, she tells the story of how Cooper, who's the mother to a 12-year-old

00:07:27.900 girl, also, by the way, a lifelong progressive Democrat, by no means is this like a conservative

00:07:33.680 with an ax to grind ideologically. It's a progressive Democrat woman and mother, 1.00

00:07:39.420 lost custody of her daughter because, unlike her ex-husband, she wouldn't affirm her daughter's

00:07:46.360 deluded idea that she was really a boy. Reading now from the article says,

00:07:51.040 Jeanette Cooper never imagined she'd lose custody of her child. The 44-year-old lifelong educator

00:07:55.440 always considered herself a loving and responsible mother to her daughter, Sophia.

00:07:59.380 But when, at age 12, Sophia suddenly claimed to be transgender, Jeanette was skeptical.

00:08:04.640 Sophia had never exhibited signs of gender dysphoria. In fact, Sophia exhibited many more 0.99

00:08:08.620 traditionally feminine behaviors and preferences than Jeanette ever had. To Jeanette, it didn't 1.00

00:08:13.640 make sense. But Sophia insisted not only that she was trans, but that she was unsafe around Jeanette. 1.00

00:08:19.300 What followed was an almost Kafka-esque series of court proceedings and therapy sessions in which

00:08:23.860 Jeanette's ex-husband, lawyers, therapists, and other individuals and institutions supposedly

00:08:27.480 concerned with Sophia's best interests worked to erode Jeanette's most basic parenting rights. 1.00

00:08:32.720 Nearly three years later, Jeanette can't even visit with the daughter she loves. She lives less than 10

00:08:37.420 minutes away, but can only communicate with Sophia by U.S. mail. All because she insists that Sophia

00:08:43.120 is a girl. Now, from here, we're told the whole story about how Jeanette and her husband divorced in

00:08:49.780 2015. Now, at first, Jeanette was, as very often happens, was awarded almost full custody of her

00:08:55.700 daughter. She had her daughter six days a week. But then one day, at the age of 12, her daughter goes for

00:09:01.840 a visit to her father's, who, by the way, had recently remarried and was now married to a

00:09:08.240 psychotherapist. And she goes for the visit and never returns. The girl announced out of nowhere

00:09:14.380 that she was trans and couldn't live with her mother anymore because her mother's disagreement

00:09:19.100 with trans ideology made her feel unsafe. Now, Jeanette suspects, and with good reason, I'm guessing, 1.00

00:09:26.560 that the girl's psychotherapist stepmom has a lot to do with her daughter's discovery of her male

00:09:32.380 identity. There's probably something to that theory, but also, I'm sure she picked it up from

00:09:38.060 school. She picked it up from social media. We've heard this story over and over and over again.

00:09:43.640 So many parents with this exact story. Most of the time, they're adolescent girls, but not always.

00:09:50.020 Girls, perfectly fine. No signs of gender dysphoria at all. No indication ever at any point in her life 1.00

00:09:58.000 that she was confused about her gender. And then one day out of nowhere, just like that,

00:10:01.900 she says, oh, I'm trans. Trans.

00:10:06.400 Now, in this case, the court ordered an investigation of Jeanette to find out if her daughter was actually 0.99

00:10:13.240 unsafe around her because that's what the daughter said. So they ordered an investigation,

00:10:17.420 took seven months investigating this mother, and found no abuse, no neglect. But they did decide

00:10:27.740 that Jeanette needs to, quote, further her understanding of and support of the minor child

00:10:33.660 as relates to the minor child's gender dysphoria. Translation, she's not on board with the trans 0.70

00:10:40.020 agenda, and so she can't see her daughter anymore. And she hasn't. She hasn't had any physical contact

00:10:46.380 with her child for the past three years. Now, eventually, and this is where it gets even more

00:10:53.280 sinister, if that's possible. Eventually, she was forced to negotiate a deal, right? And here was

00:10:59.800 the deal that she was given by the court. In exchange for giving up any legal right to see her daughter

00:11:06.900 again, she was assured in writing that her daughter would not undergo a medical transition without her

00:11:13.540 permission or a court order. Okay, so this is the deal with the devil that parents are now forced to

00:11:19.060 make. Give up your rights to your daughter or we will mutilate her. We will cut her to pieces if you 1.00

00:11:26.120 don't give up your rights to her. Imagine being a parent and having to face that decision. And so she 0.76

00:11:34.020 says, well, I guess I have no choice. I'm never going to see my daughter again. But at least she won't

00:11:38.720 be mutilated. But the thing is, you know, part of the deal here is that even if you agree with a court

00:11:45.300 order, we can still mutilate her. And we know how easy it is to get the court order. Jeanette points 1.00

00:11:52.200 out correctly that murderers in prison now have more communication and contact with their children than

00:11:58.080 she does. That kind of makes sense in a certain way, because as far as the system is concerned, she's worse 0.96

00:12:03.800 than a murderer. I mean, she's a transphobe. That's the cardinal sin. There's an interview on YouTube 0.98

00:12:11.580 that Jeanette did with the Independent Women's Forum worth watching. She explains why she rejects 0.80

00:12:17.080 the idea that she should simply have, you know, relented and allowed her daughter to take the lead

00:12:22.360 and do whatever she wants. Here's what she says about that. And what I have been told is to follow

00:12:27.900 her lead, to follow her in this journey. I am not willing to do that. I don't think that is good

00:12:35.740 parenting. It's my responsibility not to hook my boat to hers. It is my responsibility to be a lighthouse,

00:12:44.540 to be something stable that she can see, some guide that she has that will always be there, that is

00:12:51.500 consistent. I still do that today, even though I have no custody of her. I have no medical decision

00:12:59.020 making, no educational decision making, and no way to communicate with her other than by mail.

00:13:06.860 You know, one thing you could see just watching that video is, I mentioned this is a progressive

00:13:11.340 democrat feminist, the mother is, and you could tell just by looking at her. This is, you know, 0.96

00:13:16.620 she partially shaved head in the whole nine yards. Uh, this is this, and she talks about in the 1.00

00:13:21.420 article too, in the interview, how she doesn't even, she, she doesn't believe in traditional gender

00:13:25.620 roles. So, so, so, but, but even then not, not good enough as far as the, uh, as far as the far left

00:13:32.860 radicals on the court are concerned, you know, in, in family court, as far as they're concerned,

00:13:36.580 still not good enough. You'd be progressive democrat, um, everything else, feminist, not good enough. 1.00

00:13:44.080 Your kid's still not safe because there's this one item on the progressive agenda that you do not

00:13:53.720 go along with. The imagery that she, you know, mentions there of a lighthouse is quite powerful

00:14:00.980 and it's correct. If your child is lost in the fog of confusion, not sure which way is up, not able to

00:14:08.360 discern east from west, not sure who they are. Your job as a parent is to be a light and a voice

00:14:15.700 of, of calm and clarity. It's not to abandon your child to the mist and say, hey, just wander around

00:14:23.320 in whatever direction you want. You'll figure it out. Yeah, whatever. Just go, yeah, go that way. It's fine.

00:14:27.300 But that's the strategy the court demands. Turn the light off, leave your child to the dark or else

00:14:37.660 we'll take her from you, they say. Now, um, sort of at the, at the, the end of this story here, at least

00:14:45.660 up until this point, most recent development is Jeanette's daughter doesn't even identify as trans

00:14:52.560 anymore. Okay. So when, so when she originally came out as quote trans and her mother said,

00:14:59.420 nah, don't buy it. She was right. She doesn't identify as trans anymore. She identifies as 0.99

00:15:05.620 non-binary and uses Z, Zer, Zers pronouns, which means that this is included too, by the way,

00:15:14.120 we take your kids away. Affirm your daughter as a Zer, whatever the hell that is, or we'll take her from 1.00

00:15:21.900 you. Of course, if you're in this position as a parent and you say it and you ask the court,

00:15:27.120 what even is a Zer? Like, what does that mean? What do you add? What are you telling me I have to do?

00:15:32.340 They can't explain it. It's total nonsense. But what does it mean for the girl? It means that she's 0.71

00:15:38.520 grappling around helplessly. She's totally lost and confused. She has no idea who she is.

00:15:44.520 But that's exactly what the groomers want. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:59.500 You know, dinner time is an incredibly valuable moment to me personally, because I'm a gluttonous 0.98

00:16:05.620 fat ass, but it's also valuable to my family. All of us. Dinner time is dedicated to shutting the world 0.98

00:16:12.140 out, if only for an hour, and being present with my wife and kids, hearing about their day,

00:16:17.020 what they saw, what they learned. The dinner table is where we solve problems together as a family.

00:16:23.180 It's where my wife and I strive to set a good example for the kinds of men and women our kids 0.74

00:16:27.840 will grow up to be. One of my favorite ways to gather my family around the dinner table

00:16:31.440 is with Good Ranchers. Good Ranchers cares deeply about providing families with high quality meat at

00:17:19.300 this, when you hear stories like this, that's why it's so important to preserve your marriage.

00:17:27.920 You know, to fight tooth and nail to preserve your marriage. And now it takes two to tango. And so

00:17:35.600 that doesn't mean, you know, if you're in a marriage and you're fighting tooth and nail and

00:17:39.860 the other person isn't, and they just leave and they want to blow the whole thing up, there's only

00:17:44.120 so much you can do. So I understand that. But going into a marriage to have the agreement between both

00:17:48.760 of you, the understanding that we are going to fight for this, this is one of the reasons why it's so

00:17:54.740 important. Because when the marriage falls apart, now you're at the mercy of the courts. You're at the

00:18:02.220 mercy of so many institutions. And the courts can come in and just say that, you know, whichever of

00:18:12.080 you will be on board with our ideological agenda, we'll give the kids to you. Now, as we've seen,

00:18:19.200 I mentioned the case in Ohio in 2018, even if you stay together and you still are married, the courts

00:18:24.460 can still come in and take your kid from you. But it's a lot easier for them if you're divorced

00:18:30.840 and you're already at each other's throats and there's already an antagonistic relationship,

00:18:36.320 then it's a lot easier. And that's also why, you know, going into a marriage,

00:18:45.340 like 10, even 10 years ago, it's unthinkable that you'd have to, that you, that this is a question you

00:18:49.980 have to ask someone, uh, when, when, when you meet them, you're in a relationship, you're thinking

00:18:54.220 about the future. You know, when I met my wife, I didn't, we, we in the early going, didn't talk

00:19:00.560 about this because it just didn't come up. But now, you know, if I was single today and looking to get

00:19:09.700 married and I find someone, I think this is, this is a, this is someone who, you know, there could be a

00:19:15.040 serious relationship. I'm going to ask them about this on the first date. If you're a single person

00:19:21.760 today, you should ask on the first date about this trans stuff. I'm not saying it's the first thing 1.00

00:19:26.660 you bring up when you sit down for dinner, but I would bring it up very, very early on.

00:19:34.540 You need to know, does this other person believe that biology exists? Do they understand that men are

00:19:43.240 men and women are women? Do they, do they think that children can choose their gender? Yes or no?

00:19:51.620 I would ask that question on the first date, because if they say, if you get anything but

00:19:55.640 a total affirmation of reality, and when you bring up, you know, transitioning kids, if they do anything 0.99

00:20:02.480 but scoff at it in horror and say that it's barbaric and insane, anything outside of that, and, and

00:20:10.720 you just get up from the table, get up from dinner and walk away. Say, this isn't going to work.

00:20:15.520 I don't care what else is going on. I don't care, you know, how, if you're a nice person, doesn't

00:20:18.780 matter. This is not going to work. Because I can't, so you're, you're in, I'm in, I'm living in the

00:20:25.840 universe that we all occupy called reality. You're off of fantasy land. And so we, there's no way to have

00:20:31.940 a relationship, certainly not a marriage, where only one person in this couple is in reality.

00:20:40.720 All right. Speaking of someone who's off in, in some other reality, Joe Biden yesterday gave a

00:20:48.860 speech where he was talking about January 6th. And, you know, the, the Democrat party, they were so

00:20:54.460 proud of this moment from Joe Biden that they posted it. They took this clip we're about to play for you

00:20:59.400 and they put it on the official Twitter account for the Democrat party.

00:21:02.160 Because I guess this is supposed to be a moment of Joe Biden being strong and in command and

00:21:10.200 coherent. But you tell me if that's what you see, watch this.

00:21:15.940 You can't be pro insurrection and pro cop. You can't be pro insurrection and pro democracy.

00:21:21.300 You can't be pro insurrection and pro American. Donald Trump lacked the courage to act.

00:21:26.520 The brave women and men in blue all across this nation should never forget that.

00:21:33.800 Now, even for that 20 second clip in which, by the way, he never blinks.

00:21:40.160 You want to try to do that. Try, try to, if you ever had a staring contest with someone,

00:21:44.220 it's hard to get to 20 seconds. Try, try to make it 20 seconds without blinking. He doesn't blink at all.

00:21:51.020 And I don't know if they have his eyelids taped back or something. I don't know what it is,

00:21:56.000 but he doesn't blink. And they, they, even in that 20 seconds, they got a cut. There's a lot

00:22:00.220 of jump cuts. They're cutting around all over the place just to be able to string that together.

00:22:04.040 And it is still really disturbing to see this guy. He doesn't even, he's not blinking this

00:22:10.900 totally vacant look in his eyes. And I've been pointing this out about Joe Biden

00:22:16.780 since the campaign and before that. You take everything else out of it. The fact that he's

00:22:23.240 wandering around, tripping, falling off of bicycles, babbling incoherently, all the,

00:22:28.120 you can take all that out of it. You can just tell by looking in his eyes that it's just not all there.

00:22:34.840 These black sort of doll-like vacant eyes.

00:22:40.080 He looks like an actual puppet at this point. I mean, he looks like, I'm half expecting to see

00:22:47.520 Jeff Dunham standing next to him. He looks like a ventriloquist dummy. And they've obviously got 0.94

00:22:54.920 him hopped up on all kinds of drugs. I don't know what they've got him on.

00:23:00.180 And that's the best that that's, that's like him at his best, which is why they put that up on,

00:23:04.620 uh, on, on Twitter. And by the way, what he's saying there also doesn't make any sense. Let's

00:23:14.240 just remember that. Let's not get caught up in the fact that he's senile and forget that what is being

00:23:19.820 said, like the words that he's reading don't make any sense at all. You can't be pro-insurrection and

00:23:26.000 pro-America. Okay. So first of all, January 6th, once again, was not an insurrection. It was not an

00:23:32.140 organized, serious attempt to overthrow the government. Uh, uh, the only people that were

00:23:37.720 armed on January 6th were the Capitol police officers who shot and killed someone. So that's,

00:23:43.840 that's the only, only, only person who died as a result of violence on January 6th was Ashley Babbitt,

00:23:48.540 who was one of the rioters who was shot and killed. So that's the first thing. And the second

00:23:53.080 thing is that, so, so, so putting that, putting January 6th to this side, which was not an insurrection,

00:23:56.480 it was a riot. And, uh, it was a very stupid and foolish event, but it was not an insurrection. 0.99

00:24:02.140 So tabling that, okay. Let, let's just for a second, dissect this idea that you can't be pro-insurrection 0.99

00:24:10.120 and pro-America. America was founded by insurrectionists. It was literally born in an

00:24:20.260 insurrection. The insurrection is a violent overthrow of a government. That's what happened. That's what

00:24:26.800 we celebrate on July 4th. Okay. We have insurrectionists on our money. We build statues

00:24:32.800 to them. We name cities after them. And I mean, increasingly we're taking the statues away and

00:24:39.620 taking their names off, but it's not because of the insurrection part. So it doesn't make any,

00:24:44.840 it's like saying, it's like saying that you can't be pro-flour and pro-bread. It's like,

00:24:50.880 this is an ingredient, this is a central ingredient in what made America just as a historical fact.

00:25:01.280 Um, and, and it is, it is, it is actually relevant because this is not, this is not semantics here.

00:25:06.520 It's not like an easy gotcha thing. America was born in insurrection. Now, does that mean that we

00:25:14.520 should be pro-insurrection? Well, no, because the statement doesn't make any sense. Pro-insurrection,

00:25:20.280 anti-insurrection, what are you talking about? Obviously your opinion about an insurrection

00:25:25.880 will be determined by the circumstances of the insurrection, right? Would anyone,

00:25:33.680 so we hear from Biden and from the left now that, well, I'm anti-insurrection, really? So

00:25:37.740 you think that there is never a circumstance where it, where it would be morally acceptable

00:25:45.160 to violently overthrow a government? Never? It's like never happened? There's never been a government

00:25:49.760 that, uh, that ought to have been or was justifiably overthrown? You don't believe that. Of course you

00:25:55.980 don't believe that. Once again, if you believe that, then you, then, then America shouldn't exist to

00:26:01.020 begin with. So that's, that's what, what's your, what's your opinion on insurrections? I don't know.

00:26:08.920 Can you tell me like, what's the, what are we talking about? Which insurrection, which government's

00:26:13.700 being overthrown? Why are they being overthrown? Did the insurrectionists have any other option but

00:26:19.360 to resort to violence? Like all these things need to be explained before I can tell you whether or not

00:26:22.860 I think they did the right thing. Just, uh, totally ridiculous. Okay. Let's go to this. 0.97

00:26:34.220 Related. Here's a 2024 New Hampshire Democratic primary poll, which has been released. It's pretty

00:26:39.760 early, but this is the polling data. And let's, this is, this is great. This is great comedy right

00:26:47.140 here. This, look at this. This is how bad it is for the Democrats. And if I'm a Democrat,

00:26:52.720 I'm looking at that, I am panicking right now and they are panicking. So let's just review,

00:26:58.520 keep this up. Cause I want to review the state of things. The guy who's currently president.

00:27:04.340 Okay. Our ventriloquist dummy in chief is at just 16% and he's not in first place. He's behind

00:27:11.600 his secretary of transportation who lost to him in 20, in the 2020 primaries and who is most widely known

00:27:17.800 for taking an extended maternity break in the middle of a supply chain crisis. He's

00:27:22.500 number one at 17%. Then right below these two is an elderly socialist woman, best known for 0.99

00:27:29.280 pretending to be a Comanche warlord. Um, and she's not even the only elderly socialist on the docket.

00:27:35.440 The other is pulling at 8% behind Klobuchar who isn't known for anything except, uh, pummeling her

00:27:42.380 staff. And speaking of pummeling staff, Kamala Harris comes in at 6% as the vice president, 0.98

00:27:51.560 barely above the big booty Latina, Kezia Cortez, 1.00

00:27:54.860 who most recently pretended to be handcuffed. And speaking of being handcuffed, she barely edges out 0.93

00:28:01.940 notorious crime Lord, uh, Hillary Clinton, who's above Stacey Abrams, a woman who's been wandering 1.00

00:28:09.280 across the countryside for three years, claiming to be the governor of Georgia and a dead last as

00:28:15.640 always is Cory Booker. Of course, this is, this is what they're facing. This is their whole roster.

00:28:21.780 It is not a good situation. And, uh, you know, it's not good when, you know, high profile Democrat

00:28:31.420 politicians are asked whether they think the current Democrat president should run again and

00:28:37.960 they don't want to talk about it. So Cori Bush, member of the squad was, uh, was asked for her

00:28:43.600 opinion. Does she think not, not like, will he run again? Not, not asking for her prediction of the

00:28:48.900 future, but should he run again? And, um, she wouldn't, she wouldn't answer the question,

00:28:54.420 which is certainly a way of answering it, but let's listen to that.

00:28:57.980 You want to see Joe Biden run for a second term?

00:29:01.040 Yeah. I, you know, that's an easy question. It's not going to take long. Do you want to see

00:29:04.640 Joe Biden? I don't want to answer that question because we have not, that's not, yeah, I don't

00:29:08.060 want to answer that question. Okay. Um, I mean, he's the president and he has the right to,

00:29:11.920 to run for a second term. Absolutely. That's, but I don't want to, I don't, I don't want,

00:29:15.780 I'd rather you not do that. You got like two minutes to be in the car. Yeah, I know. I got

00:29:19.340 to get to the, well, thanks very much. I appreciate it. Uh, I got to get to the, uh,

00:29:24.820 I got to get to the other thing that I got. I don't have time. I don't have time to answer that

00:29:29.280 question. It's a yes or no question. I just don't have time. I gotta, I gotta run. That's bad news.

00:29:35.220 Okay. I mean, that's like, it's like if you're married and you ask your wife, if she loves you

00:29:39.720 and she says, Oh, do I love it? Well, I don't really, we don't have time to talk about that. I got,

00:29:42.900 I gotta get to the other thing. I got this, I gotta, I gotta go do some laundry.

00:29:46.520 Not a good sign. Um, speaking by the way of the, uh, I guess the front runner, the Democrat

00:29:51.940 front runner, Pete Buttigieg, he had some thoughts, uh, recently he was on state of the union on a CNN

00:29:58.960 and he had some thoughts about the Republicans who do not favor federally codifying the redefinition

00:30:05.900 of marriage. Now there are plenty of Republicans as we saw in the house that were on board with it,

00:30:09.880 but, uh, but that, but the majority still were not. And Pete Buttigieg is very offended and

00:30:15.520 personally hurt by that. And here he is explaining why. This is really, really important to a lot of

00:30:22.900 people. It's certainly important to me. I started my day as I try to do on weekends. Uh, I try to give

00:30:28.920 a little bit of a break and do breakfast with, with both of our, our twins. Uh, and, uh, that alone,

00:30:35.080 that's no small thing, uh, as every parent of small kids knows. Uh, it was one of those days where the

00:30:40.440 tray table wasn't quite, uh, fitting into the high chair. And, uh, I'm trying to make sure that

00:30:44.660 they're busy enough with their little cereal puffs to give me enough time to chop up the banana and get

00:30:49.800 the formula ready. And it just, I don't know, that half hour of my morning had me thinking about how much

00:30:54.980 I depend on and count on my spouse every day. And our marriage deserves to be treated equally.

00:31:03.040 And I don't know why this would be hard for a Senator or a Congressman. I don't understand

00:31:10.980 how such a majority of, of house Republicans voted no on our marriage on as recently as Tuesday,

00:31:18.060 hours after I was in a room with a lot of them talking about transportation policy, having what I

00:31:22.940 thought were perfectly normal conversations with, with many of them on that subject, only for them

00:31:27.240 to go around the corner and say that, uh, that my marriage doesn't deserve to continue. If they

00:31:32.480 don't want to spend a lot of time on this, they can vote yes and move on. And that would be really

00:31:38.300 reassuring for a lot of families around America, including mine. A couple of things here. First of

00:31:44.960 all, this guy is such an egomaniac. I mean, they all are, but it's, but especially this guy, 0.96

00:31:48.500 and it's even more grating with him because he has, there's just no basis for it, for his ego.

00:31:54.480 Like it has nothing to rest on, no accomplishments to rest on at all. It's like a small town mayor

00:31:59.920 who runs for president, fails spectacularly. And then it's, and then he's given a, an appointment,

00:32:04.720 you know, a cabinet appointment for, for, for no reason, other than the fact that he checks a

00:32:09.220 couple of identity boxes. And, uh, and so that's it. He's a transportation secretary,

00:32:13.240 but he says, oh, they voted on my marriage. No, they weren't voting on your marriage. You

00:32:18.320 egomaniac. That's not what the vote was. There wasn't, there wasn't a bill on the docket. What,

00:32:24.320 what do you think of Pete Buttigieg's marriage? No, specifically it's about the, should the federal

00:32:31.400 government redefine marriage? Should we codify the redefinition of marriage on a federal level?

00:32:39.520 That was the question that they were answering. And some of them said no, as they should have

00:32:44.220 said. And by the way, the people who answer no to that, well, there's, there's a, there's a number

00:32:50.080 of reasons why you might answer no specifically to the question of, should the federal government

00:32:53.700 codify? But for the people who are critics of the whole, uh, you know, of the, of the redefinition

00:33:03.660 of marriage on any level, they're not saying that your marriage doesn't deserve to continue.

00:33:12.320 What they're saying is that your marriage can't exist because marriage is a particular thing

00:33:21.280 and your relationship does not fall into that category. That's the argument. Now I realize that's

00:33:30.100 still going to offend you and make you upset, but that is the argument. And it's actually a

00:33:35.240 really important distinction. As I tried to explain last week, and as many people have attempted to

00:33:43.220 explain, this is all a question of definition. And the idea for thousands of years is that marriage

00:33:52.120 by definition is an in principle procreative union between a man and a woman. And it serves as the

00:33:58.300 foundation of the family, which serves as the foundation of human society. That, that was the

00:34:01.520 answer. That was the definition. That's what it was. That's it. And then people like Pete Buttigieg

00:34:10.240 came along and said, well, it's not that anymore. And then the question in response has always been,

00:34:14.300 well, then what is it if it's not that? Pete Buttigieg hasn't answered that question.

00:34:21.760 He says, well, my marriage deserves to be treated equal to, to other marriages. Well, but, but,

00:34:26.020 but equal means the same. Pete, and is it the same? Is your relationship

00:34:34.300 with Chasen, is it the same as, is it in principle, in its substance, in its function,

00:34:45.240 is it the same as my relationship with my wife? And the answer is no, because my relationship with my

00:34:50.880 wife has the potential to create new human beings and yours doesn't. So that is a difference,

00:34:59.720 right? That's a difference. We can all agree. No question about it. That's a difference.

00:35:05.100 Is it, is it an important difference? Is it a definitional difference? I would say absolutely it

00:35:12.220 is. Of course it is. But even putting all that to the side, you know, he says that, well, how could,

00:35:20.220 how could we talk about, they would sit and talk about transportation policy with me and then,

00:35:26.260 and then go and vote the way they did. Why should, so, so they can't talk about, you cannot have

00:35:33.360 a productive conversation about transportation policy with someone unless they agree with your

00:35:39.740 definition of marriage. Unless they affirm your relationship as a marriage, you can't talk to

00:35:48.200 them about transportation policy. See, that's your problem. That's your hangup. It's not theirs.

00:35:53.480 I guess for those Republicans, they figured, yeah, okay, well, I might not agree with this,

00:35:57.220 but we can still talk about transportation. Why can't we? You're the one who sets down kind of the

00:36:04.320 ground rules here and says, well, you have to agree with everything about my lifestyle or we can't

00:36:08.620 talk about anything. That's your problem. That's, that's, that's, uh, that's you deciding to do

00:36:19.980 that. All right. On the, on the subject of marriage here, there's one other thing I wanted

00:36:24.180 to mention. This is from Mediaite. It says, um, Politico flagged a stunning poll result showing

00:36:29.540 that a quarter of Republican voters opposed Congress passing a federal law to protect interracial

00:36:35.000 marriage. Supreme court justice, Clarence Thomas raised alarm bells over rights like marriage

00:36:40.480 equality, access to contraception and private sexual activity with the Supreme court effectively

00:36:44.640 overturned Roe v. Wade, uh, et cetera, and so forth, yada, yada. In the latest edition of the

00:36:49.520 political playbook PM newsletter, the authors noted that they pulled the, um, act in political

00:36:53.840 morning consult poll and singled out several results, results, including this response to the

00:36:57.960 question, do you support or oppose Congress passing a federal law to protect the right to

00:37:02.000 interracial marriage? And, uh, 71% of voters support it with just 15% opposing. And this is,

00:37:09.820 uh, this is like the shocking, I can't believe that many Americans would oppose the bill. You know why

00:37:17.140 they, they probably oppose it? Not probably. I'll tell you why they oppose it. They oppose not interracial 0.99

00:37:23.640 marriage, but the totally pointless virtue signaling law that you're proposing to protect

00:37:30.920 this, this institution that is not under any threat whatsoever. So what they're opposing is the

00:37:38.840 virtue signaling pointless law that you want to pass. Not, not unlike the efforts to, uh, make

00:37:48.460 lynching illegal, right? Just recently passed. It's a hate crime to lynch someone.

00:37:54.600 Well, I oppose that bill and every Republican should have opposed it. Not because we support

00:38:02.580 lynching people, but because it's already illegal and there is nobody who wants to legalize it. So this

00:38:09.160 law serves no purpose whatsoever. It's already illegal. It's already a hate crime. So no reason

00:38:14.620 to do this. You're just doing it for virtue signaling reasons. And I'm not going to go. I'm not going along

00:38:17.720 with that. You're, you're treating passing laws as a, it's like a pageant. It's a stunt. I don't support

00:38:23.100 that. So just to clarify, uh, speaking of stunts and pageants, the, here's a Vogue, Vogue did a cover

00:38:32.600 story to photo shoot of the Zelensky's in Ukraine. And, uh, before we get to the, to the photos,

00:38:37.960 before we get to the photos is a little bit from the article. It says there is no script for first

00:38:42.960 ladies in wartime. And so Elena Zelensky is writing her own. The wife of Ukrainian president, uh,

00:38:50.520 Vladimir, uh, Volodymyr, uh, Zelensky, a longtime comedy writer, always preferred to stay behind the

00:38:55.980 scenes while her husband, a comedian turned politician was whose presidency may yet determine

00:39:00.380 the fate of the free world glowed in the limelight. But ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on February

00:39:05.960 21st, Zelenska. Okay. Well, that's the last name. Zelenska has suddenly found herself center stage in a

00:39:11.780 tragedy. And then, uh, it goes on for a while from there and okay, we could see. So, uh, Annie

00:39:17.120 Leibovitz was on hand to, and you know, she was the one, the famous photographer, photographs, all the

00:39:22.860 celebrities and everything. And so she did, let's go through some of these photos. They see that you

00:39:27.000 see them there. Uh, the two Zelenskys posing for all these different photographs, looking very serious. 0.98

00:39:35.460 He's got his trademark green t-shirt on the whole time, but there she is, I guess, out on the 0.61

00:39:39.600 battlefield in a pretty blue jacket. Cause this is what you do, right? This is what you do when you're

00:39:46.720 in a war and you're fighting for the fate of the free world. As we're told in the, in the profile

00:39:53.360 there, you, you, you, you stop to do a magazine photo shoot. That's just standard procedure. I mean,

00:40:01.520 there are so many examples from history of that, right? I mean, I can't think of any, but I'm sure

00:40:05.000 there are. We're still told that the war in Ukraine is a fight for the fate of the free world. It is a

00:40:12.980 war for the fate of the free world. And yet you've got celebrities going over there. You've got all

00:40:19.560 kinds of media outlets showing up, uh, photo shoots. Vogue is there doing a cover story

00:40:26.920 fighting for the fate of the free world, but you have time to pose for, um, for a photo spread.

00:40:34.980 Nothing, nothing weird or off about that at all. Right. Makes perfect sense.

00:40:39.700 Speaking of fighting for the fate of the free world, well, not just for the fate of the free

00:40:43.180 world, but actually for all life on earth. That's, that's, that's something else that's

00:40:46.540 happening right now. There is a fate. There is a struggle for life itself, for all life on earth.

00:40:52.400 And here's, uh, Bill Ware of CNN on CNN fretting about the fate of life on earth and, uh, talking

00:41:00.580 about how the Biden administration needs to save all life on earth. Let's listen.

00:41:06.880 So where does that leave things, right? I mean, we have more than 35 million Americans. They're

00:41:10.600 under heat alerts this morning. I don't want you to do a deep dive on, on how climate change has,

00:41:15.660 has created the conditions for a lot of these things that we're seeing in a number of fronts, but

00:41:20.200 what can the administration do next? I mean, cause they may very well lose the house or the Senate

00:41:26.320 in several months time. Uh, yeah. What should folks look for? I mean, that's, that is the big

00:41:33.740 question that the president says his lawyers are working on right now, to what extent they can

00:41:38.140 stretch his executive powers without any legislative help. Uh, it's interesting that the letter from

00:41:42.960 staffers part of their plea is please get Joe Manchin to change his mind. You know, this is,

00:41:48.280 this is hung up on an old fashioned filibuster sort of recent made up American rules where

00:41:54.020 the fate of life on earth is at stake and, and doesn't, doesn't seem to match. Now, if this

00:41:59.660 were FDR, if this were the forties, if this was after Pearl Harbor, you heard it there. That's

00:42:04.280 the line, the fate of life on earth. Um, just think about the claim that this claim that's being

00:42:13.280 made, you know, like not only is climate change happening, well, as established, everyone agrees

00:42:20.000 that climate change is happening. Everyone agreed. No one denies that the climate exists. No one denies

00:42:23.600 that the climate is changing. That's what climates do. That's what climates do. That's why we call them

00:42:26.640 a climate. Right. Um, so, so, you know, no one's denying that. And the claim though, is that human

00:42:36.580 activity is affecting the climate, uh, to such a degree that it's an apocalyptic situation

00:42:44.000 and we're all going to die because of it. So that's one level of the claim. But then the next

00:42:48.400 level is that by just passing a law, like that there is actually a piece of legislation that

00:42:55.780 could be written and passed that would fix the weather and save all life on earth.

00:43:02.420 And if not legislation, then executive action. This is what they're saying that there is

00:43:08.940 potential, there, there is a, there is something that Joe Biden could write down and sign, which

00:43:16.080 would through the force of that act, change the weather and save all life on earth.

00:43:24.520 I mean, even if you, even if you were to buy everything the climate alarmists say up to that

00:43:31.800 point, even if you're with them on everything else, maybe you even agree that we're all going

00:43:37.960 to die soon because of climate change. It still should seem absurd to you that there's a law that

00:43:43.900 could be passed that would fix any of this. All right. One of the thing I wanted to, uh,

00:43:50.860 mention a little bit of entertainment news. Marvel has released a trailer for the Black

00:43:55.640 Panther sequel, uh, which is being called Wakanda forever. And I'm not going to play the trailer for

00:44:00.100 you or anything. This begins now, as I understand it, I think this is phase five of the Marvel

00:44:05.720 franchise multiverse, whatever rollout. And it just continues on forever. I bring this up only to

00:44:14.300 segue into something else. As I mentioned before, I'm a, I'm a big fan of books about survival and

00:44:20.000 exploration. So I just read another one. I just finished a book called, um, the, in the kingdom

00:44:24.160 of ice, and which was written by, I believe the author Hampton sides written a few years ago.

00:44:30.980 And it's a tremendous book and it tells an incredible story about the USS Jeanette expedition

00:44:37.580 back in like the, you know, eight to late 1870s, early 1880s. And this was a, an expedition that was

00:44:44.220 meant to go to the North pole, you know, to, and, and to sail across it, across the open polar sea,

00:44:51.800 which doesn't really exist, but they didn't know that at the time. And so they were trying to find

00:44:55.040 this polar sea and, um, this expedition, well, they never make it to the polar sea, the polar sea,

00:45:00.620 which doesn't exist. They get locked in the ice and they're trapped in the ice for two years

00:45:05.900 up in the Arctic, just like floating on the ice for two years on this ship. Right. And, uh,

00:45:13.020 which means they pass through two Arctic winters where it's 180 days of darkness and they're just

00:45:18.120 on this ship. And then finally the ice melts a little bit and they, they think that they're

00:45:22.180 going to escape and they're, they're home free, but then they hit more ice and the boat, the ship

00:45:26.300 sinks. Okay. Now they all have to evacuate the ship and now they're stranded on ice in the middle of

00:45:31.860 the Arctic and they have to make it a thousand miles to solid land, which is Siberia. So they have

00:45:36.880 to, they have to traverse the ice for a thousand miles to make it to Siberia, which of course is a

00:45:42.520 wilderness. And they got to, they're, they're, uh, carrying these boats the whole way. They're

00:45:47.620 kind of like pulling these boats because there are patches of, of water they have to sail across.

00:45:52.200 And it's just this tremendous, so they finally make it to, um, Siberia, a bunch of them die along

00:45:58.560 the way and then they're in the wilderness and then a bunch of them die in the wilderness. And like,

00:46:02.320 finally a few survival survivors are able to find, you know, some villages of, uh, of natives there.

00:46:08.620 And, uh, and then they make it home and they tell the story. Anyway, the point is when I read books

00:46:13.580 like this, it just reminds me how much superhero franchises and wokeism together have totally

00:46:19.920 ruined Hollywood because you've got these real life stories that would make incredible films,

00:46:25.140 but there's, there's no one to make them in Hollywood. There should be, I mean, the story that

00:46:31.140 I just butchered as I, as I paraphrased it in three sentences, how is there not five movies about just

00:46:39.280 that story? There should be 20 great films about Arctic exploration alone. And it's so many fantastic,

00:46:48.660 tragic, almost unbelievable stories, but they're not told. And the reason they're not told is that

00:46:55.380 number one, the heroes are all men and mostly white. So that's one reason. And the other reason 0.89

00:47:02.840 is that Spider-Man never shows up. And so instead we just get the same damn movies over and over and 0.96

00:47:10.080 over again. While there are all of these spectacular stories to be told of things that really happened 0.99

00:47:18.320 and that, and that most people today don't know about and kids don't know about because they're not

00:47:22.700 hearing about it in school. And so they don't hear about it at all. It is a, it's a damned tragedy

00:47:31.800 is what I'm saying. All the more reason to stop watching the stupid superhero movies. You have to 1.00

00:47:37.380 let them, like the people that are making, you have to let them know we're, we're sick of this.

00:47:40.740 We've seen it. Give us something better. You keep watching it. They're not going to ever stop.

00:47:45.980 Really? Do you really think Black Panther 2, is that a more worthy story to tell than the story of 0.96

00:47:53.520 USS Jeanette? Men trapped on the ice, traversing a thousand miles, go to Siberia, survival tragedy,

00:48:02.120 all of that. Black Panther 2 is a better story? Really? All right, let's get to the comment section.

00:48:09.580 Sophia says, I really needed to hear that stuff about marriage. I love my boyfriend so much and

00:48:24.500 we're compatible, but I tend to overthink things way too much. Well, if you love them, you're

00:48:28.220 compatible. If you have, if you have values alignment, okay, so hopefully you've had that

00:48:33.280 conversation by now and, and definitely ask them about the trans stuff, all of that lines up, then

00:48:40.800 yeah, just get married. Just, just get married. What are you waiting for, Sophia? Pretty in Pink 0.98

00:48:46.900 says, I was only, I was an only child and I was a handful. When you have no siblings to play with,

00:48:50.940 you have to entertain yourself. I think I would have matured quicker if I had a sibling. I hope to

00:48:54.660 have at least two one day, as soon as I find a man who is a Matt Walsh fan. Well, that's, yeah,

00:48:59.660 that's the other thing you should be asking. So that's another litmus test. I would ask on the

00:49:03.020 first date. Are you a Matt Walsh fan? Are you a member of the Sweet Baby Gang? Yeah, we're actually

00:49:08.820 discovering this right now. You know, having just, as I mentioned yesterday, we have just the two-year-old

00:49:12.860 at home right now. The other kids are with their grandparents. So we have, we're, you know, we're a

00:49:17.560 family with a, with an only child just for the week. And we are realizing what an advantage it is to

00:49:23.340 have other kids who can play with her and entertain her. Because if you don't have any of that, then it's

00:49:27.840 like, then, then it's on us all the time. Of course, the trade-off is that when you have other

00:49:32.760 kids, they also antagonize each other and fight all the time, but it balances out, I guess. And the

00:49:37.080 other thing I got to get used to is that even though our two-year-old is pretty loud and she 0.99

00:49:40.320 talks a lot, still there is, there's, there's this comparative silence in the house. That's, that's

00:49:45.740 when you're a parent with a bunch of kids, it becomes, silence becomes very unsettling. You crave

00:49:51.500 silence, but you're also, this is the curse, I guess, is like you, you crave silence because you get so

00:49:56.820 little of it. But then when you get it, it's disturbing because you know what silence usually

00:50:02.160 means when there's a, like, if there's a moment of silence, when you've all the kids at home,

00:50:05.620 you know that something terrible is happening. And so I've had to get used to that also.

00:50:11.540 Blue says, Matt, I want you to know that what you talked about towards the end of the video,

00:50:15.580 right before the comment section part, you need to continue hammering that point home. As a 29-year-old

00:50:19.660 single guy myself and with no family and never had a father, it kind of sparked something. Having a man

00:50:23.880 I respect, tell me to go have an adventure and live in my car. Honestly, just hearing that it's

00:50:28.500 okay and I shouldn't worry and I can go anywhere I want, never really would have thought about it

00:50:32.360 like that. But I guess I could go anywhere in the world and do anything I want if I really wanted to.

00:50:37.660 Yeah. And it's, by the way, it's, I'm not saying that you should go out and live in your car on

00:50:42.980 purpose, like that you should seek that. What I'm saying is that if you are a young, a young able-bodied

00:50:49.700 man and you have no dependents and you have no one who's relying on you, then the stakes are pretty

00:50:55.680 low for you. And you have a much better, you have a much greater ability to survive and adapt

00:51:02.560 than you realize. It's just that living in modern society, we oftentimes never test it. We never test

00:51:09.960 our ability to survive because we're not going to be going on expeditions to the Arctic where it really

00:51:14.020 is tested. And so you just spend all your time at home and you're watching a lot of TV and you're

00:51:19.720 living in luxury and comfort. And maybe you crave adventure at some level, as all men do. Like at 0.98

00:51:26.900 some level you still crave it, but you think that there's no way you wouldn't be able to survive out

00:51:31.340 there in the wild world. But you can, you just have to test yourself. And that is the beautiful thing.

00:51:37.980 And if I can convince even one guy to make, one young man to make this decision, then I'll think

00:51:44.040 it's a success. You can really go anywhere. Take advantage of that. Go anywhere, do anything,

00:51:52.560 just have an adventure. It'll be okay. I mean, you might, you know, you're going to be making some

00:51:59.420 sacrifices. You're not going to be as comfortable, even if you're not living in your car, right? You're

00:52:04.100 going to be depending on yourself and you're going to be taking care of yourself. So probably you're

00:52:09.700 going to end up in just some dumpy little apartment and you're not going to be as comfortable. You're

00:52:13.080 not going to have all the luxuries you're used to, but it's exciting to go and build a life for

00:52:19.600 yourself. Be your own man. There's my motivational speech for the day. Another one. So you get two in

00:52:28.760 two days. We're on a roll here. As you're all aware, no one can define the word woman as of

00:52:33.740 about five minutes ago. The people in my documentary, What is a Woman? Legislators, 0.82

00:52:37.720 Supreme Court appointees, you name it. No one can define it. As we talked about last week,

00:52:41.220 Merriam-Webster redefined female in the hopes that they could stuff it down the memory hole 0.98

00:52:45.020 without anyone noticing. And frankly, this is the most attention a dictionary is getting in the

00:52:49.120 history of etymology probably. With all of that in mind, we've decided to enlist the help of a team

00:52:53.760 of biologists to create a garment in a lab. And what we came up with is the definition of woman 0.99

00:52:59.000 t-shirt. It's here to educate all of those confused individuals by emblazoning your chest with

00:53:03.660 the proper non-circular definition of the word woman. Head over to my swag shack at dailywire.com 1.00

00:53:45.320 You know, there might be some hope for Kamala Harris politically if she could manage to stake 1.00

00:53:56.620 out something close to the middle ground, right? Positioning herself as a rational centrist. Now,

00:54:01.600 she'd still have to contend with the obstacle of her abysmal personality and the visceral revulsion

00:54:05.520 people experience when they hear her speak, but at least then she'd have some shot at forming a real

00:54:10.420 constituency. But the problem is that there is no center. There's no middle between the right on

00:54:15.280 one side and abject insanity on the other. And if there was, Harris isn't looking for it anyway.

00:54:20.520 She's scrambling ever to the left, hoping to achieve relevancy by appealing to the smallest 0.96

00:54:24.900 possible subset of degenerate whack jobs. She's not alone, of course. This is the political strategy

00:54:30.940 of the entire Democrat Party. Yesterday, Harris set a new standard in that department during a roundtable

00:54:36.640 discussion with disability rights leaders meant to commemorate the signing of the Americans with

00:54:42.620 Disabilities Act. And here's how she began her remarks. Listen.

00:54:48.860 I want to welcome these leaders for coming in to have this very important discussion

00:54:54.180 about some of the most pressing issues of our time. I am Kamala Harris. My pronouns are she and her.

00:55:03.760 I am a woman sitting at the table wearing a blue suit. Well, that's outrageous. How does she know

00:55:10.280 that she's a woman? She's not a biologist. And how does she know that she's wearing a suit? 0.75

00:55:15.360 Is she a fashion designer? And how does she know that she's sitting at a table? Is she a carpenter?

00:55:19.900 Maybe so. Perhaps this woman has many more skills and qualifications than I thought,

00:55:23.520 which is a low bar to get over as I thought she had none at all. Harris would go on to babble 1.00

00:55:28.180 incoherently, as is her custom. Nobody knows exactly what she was trying to say,

00:55:32.820 but we do know that whatever she was saying, it was impactful.

00:55:37.540 The Dobbs decision and the act of the United States Supreme Court to take away a constitutional

00:55:44.940 right that had been recognized from the people of America will impact a lot of people and

00:55:53.340 differently in some situations. And we need to be responsive to these issues and also lift up the

00:56:00.820 voices of all people who will be impacted in the way that they will be impacted. So that's why we

00:56:06.260 are convened today. And I will add a couple of points in terms of the direct impact that we

00:56:14.440 anticipate there will be from the Dobbs decision on people with disabilities.

00:56:19.540 Many people will be impacted impactfully in ways that cause an impact on those impacted

00:56:28.820 by the impact. She truly has a way with words, you have to admit. And her way is to string them

00:56:35.540 together totally at random. But Kamala wasn't the only person embarrassing herself at this event.

00:56:40.920 All of the speakers introduced themselves by listing not only their pronouns, but also their race and

00:56:46.900 their articles of clothing. It was, we can safely guess, the first time ever that a White House

00:56:52.740 meeting began this way. The Biden administration continues to make history in all of the worst

00:56:57.700 and most humiliating ways possible. Let's watch. Thank you, Madam Vice President. My pronouns are

00:57:05.460 she, her. I'm a white woman with long brown hair. I'm wearing a red dress and I'm wearing a

00:57:11.960 C3 mask so you can see my red lips. I am a black woman with curly hair and I am wearing a vintage

00:57:21.400 black and floral dress. I'm a Latina with blonde highlighted hair and I'm wearing a gray blazer over

00:57:30.220 a black sheath dress. China looks on and laughs. The entire world laughs, except for that part of the 0.74

00:57:38.840 world, which suffers from the same psychological maladies as us. Now, the ostensible reason for

00:57:43.900 this whole routine is to be more inclusive of the visually impaired. This is one of the latest,

00:57:50.100 most cutting edge innovations in the field of woke virtue signaling. It's even more advanced than

00:57:55.680 trans pride flags and land acknowledgements. The idea is that blind people will feel more included,

00:58:01.660 more involved if you provide a brief physical description of yourself before speaking. 0.98

00:58:05.880 But this is obviously very stupid for reasons too numerous to count, but we'll just go through a 0.94

00:58:13.180 partial list. First of all, if a person was blind at birth, you're not helping them by mentioning your 0.99

00:58:19.280 blue suit. They're not going to know what blue is. In fact, if anything, you've only further alienated

00:58:24.860 them by bringing up a concept that has no meaning to them. This method of introduction then appeals to a

00:58:32.060 portion of the visually impaired, a subset of the subset. But while appealing to them, it further

00:58:39.960 marginalizes everyone else in that community. Second, does it actually appeal even to that subset

00:58:46.060 of the subset? Are visually impaired people asking for this? Or would they prefer it if you just got on

00:58:53.760 with saying whatever it is you want to say and got it over with? And if they do want the physical

00:58:59.120 description, is the color of your jacket really what they're looking for? I mean, like if you're

00:59:05.280 visually impaired and someone's speaking and you don't know what they look like and you're wondering

00:59:08.480 what they look like, are you wondering, I wonder what color shirt they're wearing. Is that the

00:59:14.500 information that you need to form your mental picture? No, why not mention your height? Why not

00:59:21.700 mention your weight? Like if it were me, that's one of the questions I would have. If I couldn't see

00:59:26.160 and someone's talking, like one of my things is I'm wondering how tall are they? How fat are they?

00:59:31.040 Just to build that mental picture. Why not provide a one to 10 rating of your physical attractiveness?

00:59:38.980 These are the kinds of details that people are actually interested in anyway.

00:59:42.900 Third, does Kamala Harris give her pronouns and her selective physical description every time she 0.99

00:59:48.300 addresses an audience? Well, no, of course not. She did it in this case because it's a roundtable

00:59:53.600 about disabilities. But is that the only kind of conversation that the visually impaired ought to

00:59:58.680 be included in? I mean, isn't it all the more marginalizing of the disabled community to

01:00:05.380 specifically include them in conversations about being disabled, but not in every other kind of

01:00:10.420 conversation? So by doing this, what you're saying to the visually impaired is, oh yeah, we really need 0.96

01:00:15.260 you to be included in this conversation. But then this meeting's over and you go off and you talk about

01:00:19.900 something else. You say, oh no, we don't need you guys for this. I mean, this isn't about, we'll bring

01:00:24.000 you back in when we're talking about disabled stuff. How many visually impaired people were even watching

01:00:29.920 the vice presidential roundtable discussion about the Americans with Disabilities Act? Were any?

01:00:36.720 And yet Kamala Harris only makes the effort to be inclusive of the differently abled during that

01:00:41.920 event. That seems even more offensive to me. This is the problem with this kind of virtue

01:00:46.720 thing. Once you start doing it, you can never stop. Because if you're saying that the whole routine of

01:00:52.800 identifying the color of your jacket, like you're a character in a book for preschoolers, if you're

01:00:57.480 saying that's necessary or important for the sake of inclusivity, then you have no excuse to ever stop

01:01:03.060 doing it. So you wanted to be inclusive of the blind yesterday, but not today. What gives? This is the 0.99

01:01:10.420 conundrum you make for yourself. Fourth, speaking of being inclusive, the great irony is that all of

01:01:18.080 these women were making a show of their visual impairment inclusiveness, while at the same time

01:01:24.440 needlessly alienating and excluding the hearing impaired. Because as you notice, if you watch the 1.00

01:01:30.580 clip, they were signaling virtue, not only with pronouns and physical descriptions, but also by wearing

01:01:35.560 masks. But face masks marginalize those with hearing difficulties. And I say marginalize in this case

01:01:42.500 for once, not ironically or sarcastically. I mean, the masks really do marginalize people who have

01:01:49.220 trouble hearing. The muffled voices, the inability to read lips. This has been a nightmare for the

01:01:54.480 hearing impaired. I mean, really, it has actually excluded. We hear so much about people being excluded.

01:01:59.560 It has actually excluded people. They can't tell what anyone is saying. And people with hearing 0.79

01:02:05.280 difficulties, they've complained about this for years about the masks, trying to explain that all

01:02:09.660 of the unnecessary masking is legitimately making it difficult for them to function in society

01:02:15.140 and communicate with people. But the COVID cultists just ignored them. And now, even at a roundtable

01:02:23.660 discussion about disabilities, people who suffer from that rather common disability are again ignored.

01:02:30.820 But this is what virtue signaling is all about. It's done in the name of inclusion,

01:02:35.420 and yet it always excludes far more people than it includes. The signals, the virtue signals,

01:02:43.500 target people at the intersections of various identity groups and at the intersection of the

01:02:48.720 already intersected groups, becoming more and more acute and specific until you've excluded almost

01:02:53.320 everyone in the name of including a handful of people who were already included and really didn't

01:02:58.300 need the special accommodation. But that's okay to the virtue signaler because nothing that she's

01:03:04.520 doing is actually for that small group. See, all the stuff about, you know, including visual impaired

01:03:10.740 people, that's not who it's for. She's not worried about them. She's worried about herself.

01:03:17.640 The point is to brand herself as one of the enlightened, one of the progressive, one of the chosen.
