A new COVID variant just dropped right in time to keep all you sheep in your stalls for another few months.
00:00:45.820
The new Omicron variant has actually hit the market ahead of schedule,
00:00:51.000
but it seems the Delta variant did not have enough of you cowering for your lives
00:00:56.000
and blindly following Big Daddy Fauci, so we needed a new one.
00:01:00.020
Now, we're headed for a few more months of masks and lockdowns,
00:01:06.860
and giving away a little bit more of our freedom and rights and way of life to the liberal ruling class.
00:01:12.500
At which point, the pandemic still will not be over,
00:01:16.360
but at which point, people might begin to realize what some of us have known all along.
00:01:35.320
Now, my favorite comment from last Wednesday, oh my gosh, before Thanksgiving,
00:01:49.680

Another great thing that you're going to want to get for the Christmas season,
00:03:25.600
and you're going to want to get it today because today is the last day,
00:03:31.660
Last year, I mentioned this in a little video over the weekend,
00:03:34.180
but last year was the best year ever for Daily Wire.
00:03:38.480
One of the best years ever, period, I would say.
00:03:41.340
Amid all the difficulty and the struggle and all the libs trying to shut us down,
00:03:47.620
And we got to fight back because of you, because of your memberships.
00:03:50.560
We got to uncancel actors who the libs tried to cancel, like Gina Carano.
00:04:05.900
You are literally joining in, becoming members.
00:04:16.860
Virginia, the libs have all the investigative journalists just about.
00:04:21.480
The right is usually reacting to liberal outlets like the New York Times and the Washington Post.
00:04:35.520
We have been obviously getting a lot more into entertainment.
00:04:39.760
We got this new show coming out or just came out, I guess, with Adam Carolla.
00:04:46.160
We're the lead plaintiffs in this case pushing back against the mandatory Fauci-Ouchy and making a lot of headway.
00:04:54.100
Today is the last day to get our best sale ever, to my knowledge, 50% off the membership.
00:05:07.220
You're going to want to subscribe now before the Omicron shuts down the world.
00:05:23.240
So the only ones that I remember were the OG COVID and then there was the Delta and then now there's the Omicron.
00:05:31.840
But it turns out there have been a number of other variants, too.
00:05:35.180
You know, they haven't made the billboard top 100.
00:05:41.500
The next variant that was supposed to be up was the new variant, NU, followed by the Xi variant, Xi.
00:05:52.740
But the World Health Organization skipped over those two variants.
00:06:02.100
Well, the Xi variant is spelled just like the name of the leader of China.
00:06:06.460
And they don't want to point out that it's China's fault that we have the virus in the first place.
00:06:13.240
So and the World Health Organization has admitted this, by the way.
00:06:15.420
This is not some, you know, ridiculous conspiracy theory or something like that.
00:06:21.380
They're actually coming out and saying, no, because NU sounds a little bit like NU and Xi, rather.
00:06:26.600
That's a very common last name, also happens to be the last name of the leader of China.
00:06:30.200
So, you know, we're just going to skip that because of xenophobia or whatever.
00:06:35.120
So a lot of conservatives right now are saying, hey, this is BS.
00:06:37.500
We've got to call it the Xi variant, the Xi variant.
00:06:39.720
We've got to point out that it's all China's fault.
00:06:43.920
But I actually think this is a bad path to go down for conservatives.
00:06:50.160
I actually think this kind of blind jingoism is not smart for conservatives.
00:06:57.280
Because, yes, while it's all China's fault and the liberal establishment is covering that up,
00:07:03.900
OK, it's also the fault of of the global technocratic public health elite.
00:07:10.680
OK, Dr. Fauci and the NIH were funding the research in China that led to the breakout of this virus.
00:07:20.500
They were funding gain of function research in Wuhan.
00:07:24.260
And then Dr. Fauci perjured himself about that.
00:07:27.020
And then documents revealed that they actually were funding that.
00:07:29.580
And they're still denying that it had anything to do with the with the virus.
00:07:34.300
But every day they seem to get a little bit clearer.
00:07:44.380
Let's call it the global technocratic public health elite variant.
00:07:49.120
Let's call it the forget about the variants at all and focus on the actual problem,
00:07:53.100
which is the lockdowns and the people taking away our freedoms and our rights and our way of life,
00:08:01.520
OK, there's always going to be another variant.
00:08:03.920
And so if you put all of your attention on the virus itself,
00:08:08.340
then you're never going to get back to your normal way of life because the virus is never going away.
00:08:23.560
It is, unfortunately, bad actors much closer to home.
00:08:30.640
Speaking of Dr. Fauci, our friend Senator Cruz just suggested that Dr. Fauci be prosecuted.
00:08:37.100
There are a number of reasons for which Dr. Fauci should be prosecuted.
00:08:44.020
Rand Paul said, Dr. Fauci, do you support, did you ever fund gain-of-function research in China?
00:08:49.640
And Dr. Fauci said, Senator Paul, we have never, ever once funded any single penny of gain-of-function research.
00:09:03.020
He gave contradictory answers in the same breath.
00:09:06.080
And then it turned out, no, actually, they did fund gain-of-function research.
00:09:10.160
So Senator Cruz says that Dr. Fauci maybe should be prosecuted.
00:09:16.640
Well, Dr. Fauci just punched back and said, I should be prosecuted, Senator.
00:09:21.880
Cruz told the Attorney General you should be prosecuted.
00:09:40.780
The clear suggestion is that because Ted Cruz raised objections to the way that the electoral votes were being counted
00:09:53.420
and suggested a pause to create an electoral commission like we have done before in American history
00:09:59.000
because of the many irregularities and rule changes and outright illegal practices in the 2020 election
00:10:05.020
because a sitting elected United States Senator proposed a procedure on the floor of the United States Senate
00:10:23.760
Do you realize how deeply anti-constitutional and anti-American that is?
00:10:29.240
This unelected twerp, Dr. Fauci, this guy who has now gone through seven United States presidents,
00:10:39.840
highest paid employee of the federal government, who has perjured himself, in my view,
00:10:46.240
who has helped to not just lock down Americans for 18 months,
00:10:53.620
but actually encouraged and funded the kind of research that led to this pandemic in the first place.
00:11:01.380
Dr. Fauci is saying that if an elected United States Senator debates a political issue on the floor of the Senate,
00:11:11.900
You know, the left and the right get a little hyperbolic sometimes when we talk about tyranny
00:11:16.900
and the subversion of democracy and, you know, everyone does this.
00:11:21.360
What Dr. Fauci is doing here is about as clear an example of that as is possible.
00:11:27.320
He is a totally unaccountable, totally unelected bureaucrat who is suggesting that we prosecute and what?
00:11:35.120
Jail a U.S. Senator for proposing an election procedure that we've already done in American history.
00:11:43.320
It's not even an unprecedented election procedure for suggesting a political measure on the floor of the United States Senate.
00:11:51.380
This guy might be the single most power hungry, power mad jerk in the United States.
00:11:58.440
Speaking of Congress, got to get to Lauren Boebert.
00:12:01.500
Lauren Boebert is a firebrand conservative member of Congress.
00:12:10.680
And Lauren was at a fundraiser of some sort and she made a joke about Ilhan Omar being a terrorist.
00:12:18.360
I was getting into an elevator with one of my staffers and he and I were leaving the Capitol.
00:12:24.200
We're going back to my office and we get in the elevator and I see a Capitol police officer running hurriedly
00:12:32.020
I see fret all over his face and he's reaching.
00:12:49.820
So we only had one floor to go and I was like, I don't know, do I say it or not?
00:13:00.980
And I looked over and I said, oh, look, the Jihad squad decided to show up for work today.
00:13:16.700
At least you chuckled, but you're not allowed to do.
00:13:23.440
Just because she has openly giggled over acts of major acts of terrorism and terror groups,
00:13:32.480
Ilhan Omar, just because of that, you think that you can suggest that she herself is a
00:13:40.080
The left would never call conservatives terrorists or insurrectionists or white supremacists or
00:13:46.940
neo-Nazis or, oh, they do all of that all the time.
00:13:51.540
And they face no consequences for it whatsoever.
00:13:54.360
But Lauren, Lauren made a joke and that you're not allowed to do that.
00:14:00.000
You're not allowed to joke if you're a conservative.
00:14:02.120
And of course, the squishes, they had their, they got, made sure they got their nice pearls
00:14:07.820
on and they just clutched them. The minute Lauren made her joke, they just clutched them
00:14:11.460
as hard as they possibly could. You know, and that can put a lot of strain on your muscles
00:14:14.960
and on your back, which is why you should check out X Chair.
00:14:18.000
How about a gift that keeps on giving you joy and comfort every day, all year long,
00:14:25.440

00:14:30.080
pay for itself in terms of how much more productive you will be at work.
00:14:34.160
I'm talking about giving yourself the gift of an X Chair. I love my X Chair. It is by far the most
00:14:42.300
advanced, shocking, ergonomic chair I have ever used. And it is probably the coolest looking piece
00:14:49.300

00:15:32.760
What's that URL? Xchairknolls.com. So Lauren Boebert, freshman Republican member of Congress,
00:15:39.020
makes this joke and says she saw a cop running at her. She sees Ilhan next to her. She said,
00:15:42.500
don't worry, she doesn't have a backpack on. Ha ha ha. Oh no, you can't. You can't make that joke.
00:15:46.800
So Ilhan Omar seized upon this non-traversy and tweeted out, quote, saying I am a suicide bomber
00:15:56.880
is no laughing matter. Then she tagged the GOP leader and Nancy Pelosi and she said,
00:16:02.680
these people need to take appropriate action. Normalizing this bigotry not only endangers my
00:16:07.800
life, but the lives of all Muslims. Anti-Muslim bigotry has no place in Congress. Okay,
00:16:13.920
so the claim here, the premise of Ilhan Omar saying that we got to boot out Lauren Boebert is
00:16:19.680
saying I'm a suicide bomber is no laughing matter, which reminded me of that time that Ilhan Omar was
00:16:28.220
caught on video literally laughing over suicide bombers. I remember when I was in college,
00:16:35.120
I took a terrorism class. Is that a such thing? Yeah, there was. So you go out,
00:16:40.060
there is a lab for that? There was a, there was a class that you, do you go to a lab? No,
00:16:44.380
we learned the ideology. I'm glad you do that. And so it was, it was the thing that was interesting
00:16:51.900
in the class was every time the, the, the professor said Al Qaeda, he sort of like his shoulders went
00:16:59.760
up and you know, Al Qaeda, you know, he's an expert. It's just Al Qaeda, Hezbollah, you know,
00:17:10.800
the suicide bombers that I'm laughing over. But, but Lauren Boebert can't do that. She can't laugh.
00:17:16.820
She can't, that's not funny. That's not funny. So it's total BS. Ilhan Omar can go pound sand.
00:17:24.100
The left does what Lauren Boebert did to us 10 times, a hundred times over with a lot more
00:17:31.800
institutional power. I just don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear it from the libs and I don't
00:17:35.960
want to hear it from the squishes. And I definitely don't want to hear it from Ilhan Omar who literally
00:17:40.780
laughs about suicide bombers. And unfortunately, Lauren Boebert apologized. Here is her apology.
00:17:50.440
Quote, I apologize to anyone in the Muslim community. I offended with my comment about
00:17:54.760
representative Omar. I've reached out to her office to speak with her directly.
00:17:58.740
There are plenty of policy differences to focus on without this unnecessary distraction.
00:18:03.880
Why would, why would Lauren apologize to the Muslim community? She didn't make a joke about
00:18:10.140
Muslims. She made a joke about Ilhan Omar. Not all Muslims giggle about Al Qaeda and Hezbollah.
00:18:18.800
Not all Muslims do the kinds of things that Ilhan Omar does. She made a joke about Ilhan Omar,
00:18:28.740
not about all Muslims. So if she wants to apologize, I guess she could apologize to Ilhan Omar,
00:18:33.620
but I don't think she should. Ilhan Omar is not playing in good faith here. Ilhan Omar does the
00:18:39.520
same sort of thing to us all the time, 10 times over. And Ilhan Omar deserves the criticism. Ilhan Omar
00:18:45.680
has, has really done some questionable things. I really like Lauren Boebert. I like her personally
00:18:52.800
a lot. I think she's learning a hard lesson here, which is you got to be ready when the,
00:19:02.120
when the cancel mob comes. Okay. And in this case, it can be very tempting to apologize to the mob.
00:19:08.620
And I have no doubt that Lauren did this in good faith. And maybe she just thought that her joke went
00:19:12.640
too far and it really did offend this whole community of people. It didn't. I don't think
00:19:15.880
Ilhan Omar speaks for all Muslims or anything like that. Okay. And unfortunately that what,
00:19:21.620
what the political consequence of this will be is that Lauren Boebert told the joke. I don't think
00:19:28.140
she lost a single supporter for telling the joke. And then she apologized probably because Kevin
00:19:34.260
McCarthy made her apologize. I'm not accusing him of that, but someone in GOP leadership made her
00:19:39.540
apologize and she did it. And then she lost supporters. I bet there are going to be a lot
00:19:44.420
of people now who once supported Lauren Boebert, who are going to be less likely to support her
00:19:49.620
because she apologized. And it's a lot of people, virtually everyone's going to do this, especially
00:19:56.200
when you got GOP leadership on the phone yelling at you saying they're going to take away everything
00:20:00.160
you've ever worked for in your life if you don't apologize. But one, I guess that's an argument for
00:20:05.300
better GOP leadership. With this democratic party, with this Ilhan Omar, there is absolutely no reason
00:20:12.640
to issue some kind of public apology over this. Speaking of religious conflict, there's a terrible,
00:20:19.460
terrible story from the Telegraph. This is an exclusive story that Notre Dame, the Cathedral of
00:20:26.200
Notre Dame, one of the greatest works in the history of the West. Notre Dame, you remember,
00:20:32.720
burned a couple of years ago. Now they're going to rebuild parts of the roof and the interior
00:20:39.660
and they're going to turn it into a woke Disneyland revamp, according to this headline.
00:20:47.900
The world-famous cathedral will be turned, according to this report, into a, quote,
00:20:52.020
experimental showroom. Under the proposed changes, confessional boxes, altars, and classical
00:20:58.280
sculptures will be replaced with modern art murals and new sound and light effects to create emotional
00:21:05.400
spaces. There will be themed chapels on a discovery trail with an emphasis on Africa and Asia, while
00:21:12.260
quotes from the Bible will be projected onto chapel walls in various language, including Mandarin. And
00:21:17.760
the final chapel on the trail will have a strong environmental emphasis. So what's going to happen,
00:21:23.300
according to the proposed changes, is that the Cathedral of Notre Dame, an icon, filled with
00:21:30.840
icons, but an icon itself of Christianity, will be claimed by secular liberalism and turned into a
00:21:38.560
cathedral of secular liberalism. And we're, you know, listening to Lauren Boebert's joke about
00:21:44.680
Ilhan Omar and conflict between Christianity and Islam, at least when the Muslims steal one of our
00:21:54.540
great cathedrals, they usually don't completely destroy it. So I think of the Hagia Sophia in
00:22:00.420
Constantinople, one of, if not the greatest cathedral ever built. And the Muslims stole it and they turned
00:22:05.660
it into a mosque and they damaged it to a considerable degree, but they didn't totally destroy it. Okay.
00:22:10.780
And they just covered up some icons and they put their own stuff up there, but they did not
00:22:16.700
destroy it nearly as much as the secular liberal left is trying to do to Notre Dame.
00:22:24.720
The Muslims are positively respectful compared to the secular leftists here in the West. This would be
00:22:32.820
a great tragedy if they are allowed to get away with this. So how could they be allowed to get away?
00:22:37.080
Can't the Catholic church step in? No, because the secular liberals stole Notre Dame from the
00:22:41.580
Catholic church centuries ago. Notre Dame is property of the French state. And so, because
00:22:48.660
Catholicism has not been the religion of France in hundreds of years, because now liberalism is with
00:22:55.280
all of its various aspects, multiculturalism, environmentalism, and all the rest of it, because
00:23:02.120
that's the new state religion. The cathedral, the great pinnacle of French art is going to be turned
00:23:09.080
into a cathedral for liberalism, unless we stop it. I think there's a chance that we can stop it,
00:23:14.320
but there is going to have to be a large public outcry and conservatives in France are going to
00:23:19.980
have to gain some political power in order to do it. The secular left needs to transform everything.
00:23:27.340
There's a new ad for the Norwegian Postal Service that I'm not sure really how it was promoting the
00:23:36.020
Postal Service. All I know is that it turned Santa gay. So you see a guy, he's waiting in his nice
00:23:48.400
Christmassy living room. Oh, here we go. Some packages from the Postal Service, I guess. Merry Christmas.
00:23:53.880
He walks back into the living room. There's Santa.
00:23:58.560
Well, I arranged some help this year. So I can be with you, says Santa.
00:24:06.120
And then there's this guy, and he's looking at Santa in a kind of strange way.
00:24:13.080
And are they going to, wait a second, are they? No, not Santa Claus. No, you don't need to do this
00:24:24.460
to Santa Claus. And they, okay, and they kiss. And Santa kisses them. Okay, this, I think,
00:24:33.900
we don't need to see Santa making out. I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus. We don't, we don't need to.
00:24:38.700
Watch that, Dewey and Zooms out. And now you've got to frequent the Norwegian Postal Service.
00:24:44.540
A lot of people are looking at this ad and saying, hey, man, you know, I'm no, I'm no homophobe,
00:24:49.180
but we don't need to make everything gay, do we? Blake Masters, who's running for the Senate
00:24:54.060
from Arizona, he said this about Superman. They're turning Superman gay now. He said,
00:24:58.160
you know, not everything has to be gay. But the thing is, it does, actually. Everything does have
00:25:04.240
to be gay. This is the way, it gets right back to the Notre Dame point. It gets right back to this
00:25:10.860
religious conflict, okay? There is going to be a sexual standard. Every society is going to have
00:25:19.260
one. And they're going to say some, this is not true just of sex, it's true of everything. They're
00:25:22.860
going to say some things are good to do and some things are bad to do. Some behavior is good,
00:25:26.420
some behavior is bad, some speech is good, some speech is bad. And that's especially true when it
00:25:32.700
comes to sex, because sex is so important to our human nature. And so if the left is going to
00:25:37.120
totally transform our sexual ethic, then everything needs to follow the new rules. Now, you might
00:25:43.800
remember back to the old times when this was not true. Well, how are you going to preserve those
00:25:47.200
memories? The way you're going to do it is with Legacy Box. Christmas, Christmas time is near, time for
00:25:52.680
toys and time for cheer. You've got all these wonderful memories of Christmases, Thanksgivings, all the
00:25:58.720
wonderful memories, and they're sitting in a box. They're sitting in a box somewhere,
00:26:02.180
degrading. Either they're at risk of fire or flood or just old father time, which degrades
00:26:06.060
your pictures, your cassettes, your old movies. Legacy Box will help you preserve them. The way
00:26:11.160
it works, you send in all your old media, the pictures and the movies and all of it. You send
00:26:15.860
it into Legacy Box. They will hand digitize everything. They will then put it on a thumb drive or the cloud
00:26:24.000
or a DVD or some combination thereof. And then you will have those memories forever. And old father
00:26:29.860
time ain't going to stop them. And the floods and the fires ain't going to stop them either.
00:26:33.320
These are irreplaceable sentimental memories. Do not be like me. I actually lost some pictures
00:26:37.600
and I thought they were gone forever. Fortunately, I found some more, immediately sent them into
00:26:41.300

I would strongly recommend two number one selling books. One was the number one book on Amazon for
00:28:12.860
a week and a half. It continues to sell like hotcakes. It is the gift of knowledge that you
00:28:16.900
can give all your Democrat friends and relatives. It is called Reasons to Vote for Democrats,
00:28:20.980
a Comprehensive Guide, which President Donald Trump hailed as a great book for your reading
00:28:25.360
enjoyment. The other one is my number one national bestselling book from this year. It's called
00:28:30.740
Speechless, Controlling Words, Controlling Minds. Thank you to everyone who's bought it already.
00:28:34.720
Would be a great gift to give to your friends and relatives this year. They're both on sale right
00:28:39.320
now at the Daily Wire shop, at Regnery, at anywhere you buy your books on Amazon. I think it's like 30
00:28:45.420
or 31% off right now. So go get it. We'll be right back with a lot more.
00:29:00.660
Welcome back to the show. The Norwegians turned Santa gay and they sort of have to.
00:29:08.420
Superman has to go gay. I think the libertarian idea is, look, we don't really need any rules.
00:29:18.900
You do you, I'll do me. You don't push your views on me and I won't push my views on you and we'll
00:29:24.660
all just get along. But that's not how society works. Society has views. And so if we live in a
00:29:31.900
society that like our traditional society, which said that sex has a purpose, to quote the great
00:29:36.960
philosopher, Norm Macdonald, sex is a filthy, shameful thing that's obviously only meant for
00:29:41.480
procreation. If we live in a world that views sex as having a purpose, then that is what sex is going
00:29:48.520
to be geared toward. Okay. And there are going to be unusual kind of desires and activities outside of
00:29:54.560
that. And those activities and desires will probably be tolerated, but they won't, they won't be
00:29:58.700
celebrated and they won't, that won't be seen as the end of sex and marriage will be encouraged
00:30:03.300
and families will be encouraged. And that was the way our civilization worked for at least a thousand
00:30:07.720
years, more than that, more than a thousand years. Now, since, certainly since the 1960s,
00:30:14.060
the purpose of sex has not been understood to be procreation. It's not, the human person is not
00:30:20.440
seen to have a definite end, you know, a telos, a purpose of our lives. It has been thought that
00:30:28.080
the point is just to get pleasure, just to kind of feel good. If it feels good, do it.
00:30:33.180
And so in that world, that's the kind of standard that's going to be encouraged. And so for, I mean,
00:30:39.500
we're kind of joking about gay Santa here, but that is going to be the case for everything.
00:30:45.280
And you're going to have to make a decision. Are you going to give in to that zeitgeist? Are you going
00:30:51.000
to give into the spirit of the age and just let secularism and leftism roll over your whole
00:30:55.880
culture? Or are you going to stand up and say, no, actually you shouldn't do certain things. You
00:30:59.620
shouldn't behave in certain ways. You shouldn't, you shouldn't be taught certain things. We're
00:31:03.760
going to, we're going to set the standards ourselves. That's what Dave Chappelle is doing
00:31:06.540
right now. So Dave Chappelle graduated from Duke Ellington High School and Duke Ellington High School
00:31:14.260
is what he credits with spurring his interest in the arts and creativity. And so this high school
00:31:19.500
was planning on naming its new theater after Chappelle. But then Dave Chappelle did that
00:31:27.820
vaguely, not totally woke comedy special recently on Netflix. And now there are protests not to name
00:31:34.860
the school after him. So here's Dave Chappelle's response. He said, quote, naming the theater after
00:31:42.320
him is, quote, the most significant honor of my life. And he proposed a contest. He said, the people
00:31:49.260
who don't want it named after me can raise some money for the school. I'm going to raise some
00:31:52.820
money for the school. And the people who do want it named after me or who are neutral and whichever
00:31:56.600
one raises more money, their way goes. It says, whichever opinion donates the highest collective
00:32:01.360
dollar amount wins. If by April, those against the Chappelle theater exceed the donations of those
00:32:05.960
who are neutral or in favor of the theater being named Chappelle, I will gladly step aside. If not,
00:32:10.580
I will happily attend the naming ceremony. And if you don't care enough to donate,
00:32:14.340
please shut the F up forever. Dave. And this is a great way to do it because no matter which
00:32:21.680
side wins, the school is going to get more donations. So I think it's a classy way to do it.
00:32:27.640
But this is also the way to engage in the culture. I think the squish attitude, which has been the
00:32:34.380
attitude of many people on the right for a couple of decades has been, you know, let them have it.
00:32:39.280
They want it, let them have it. They don't, you don't want the school named after me. Okay,
00:32:42.200
fine. I don't, that's, I don't need your school named after me or your theater named after me.
00:32:46.040
Okay. You want, you want, you want to do your own thing? You do your own thing. I'll do my own thing.
00:32:50.200
It's fine. Who cares? You do you. That's not what Dave's doing. Dave is saying, no, you are going to
00:32:58.240
sit in my theater, the Dave Chappelle theater. I'm not going to let you have it. I'm not going to let
00:33:04.360
you do whatever you want. I'm not going to let you have your own way. I am going to force my will
00:33:09.060
upon you because my will happens to be more in accord with logic and reason and things that are
00:33:15.840
good. And you're awful, cancel culture, woke, leftist, use whatever term you want. Your desires
00:33:23.100
are bad. And so I'm going to stop your desires. I'm going to push my desires and deal with it.
00:33:27.820
Deal with it, buddy. That's the right attitude. That's the attitude that the right needs to have.
00:33:32.520
There is no way to have a society in which we don't hold certain beliefs about what is good or
00:33:39.760
what is freedom or what is equality or what is what we should be pursuing, right? Some view is
00:33:45.180
always going to predominate. And so it's either going to be ours or it's going to be the other
00:33:49.840
guys. Do you want it to be the other guys? Do you want it to be the crazy radical left that wants
00:33:53.600
to destroy everything you cherish or not? The Cathedral of Notre Dame, it's either going to be a
00:33:58.500
Christian cathedral or it's going to be a secular liberal cathedral or it's going to be a mosque or
00:34:03.220
it's good, but it's going to be something. It can't be nothing. There's no neutrality. All right,
00:34:07.220
you got to pick. And I love that Dave is saying, no, you don't get my theater. You don't get my
00:34:11.800
theater buster. And I don't think that we should allow the left to have our communities or our states
00:34:17.840
or our families or our nation. Look at what Ron DeSantis is doing right now in Florida.
00:34:24.260
The left has been trying to undermine our way of life, especially getting back to the Omicron and
00:34:33.960
the forever lockdown. You know, the worst part of the 15 days to slow the spread is the first 18
00:34:38.960
months, they say. They've been trying to run roughshod over our way of life. And a lot of
00:34:44.640
conservatives have kind of rolled over. And they said, well, the experts say so. And even the ones who
00:34:50.020
don't go along with the experts, they'll go along with the corporations. Say, well, but the free
00:34:53.620
market says that a handful of woke multinational corporations get to do whatever they want,
00:34:58.140
no matter what my way of life or preferences or political tradition. So what Ron DeSantis has done
00:35:03.980
is he said, no. Oh, Disney, you want to have a vaccine mandate in Disney World in Florida? No,
00:35:11.200
you can't. We're not going to let you do that. We're going to wield the power of the state,
00:35:15.520
which I am now currently embodying. I, Ron DeSantis, because the people of Florida elected me,
00:35:21.220
I am going to channel their political will. And I'm going to say no. And I'm going to use my
00:35:26.760
judgment because that's why they put me into office. And I'm going to say no, you stupid woke
00:35:31.180
corporation. You don't get to do that. Uh-uh. Tough luck. But, but it's our right under the free
00:35:37.140
market of the, and the weak and companies can do. No, you can't do whatever you want because I'm
00:35:41.020
the governor and I say you can't. So what are you going to do about it? And you know what they're
00:35:45.120
going to do? They're going to back down. That's what they just did. Disney has paused
00:35:49.100
its COVID-19 vaccine mandate for workers at the Walt Disney World theme park. That's the one in
00:35:56.240
Florida. They sent a memo about the pause just a few days ago, attributing the state legislature's
00:36:04.420
passing of limits on employer powers regarding the vaccinations as its primary cause. The White
00:36:10.380
House is furious about this. Jen Psaki was asked about it and she said, well, DeSantis is taking
00:36:16.080
step backwards and he's not governing the way he should on the virus. Ron DeSantis has the best
00:36:21.200
record of any governor in the country on coronavirus. Remember while they were pilloring Ron DeSantis,
00:36:26.600
they were exalting Andrew Cuomo in New York. And then what happened? It turned out Cuomo was killing
00:36:31.940
senior citizens and getting up to some other activities. And Ron DeSantis' record was stellar on the
00:36:38.220
virus. And now the White House is crying. They're like that meme of the guy with the tears. They're
00:36:43.220
saying, no, you can't wield the power of the state to stop our woke corporations. Yes, we can. Sorry.
00:36:50.200
Yes, we can. And that's exactly what we're going to do. And that's the only way, that is the only way
00:36:55.720
that we are ever going to stop the steady march of leftism. Conservatives would not have such a hard
00:37:03.080
time winning if they would just get out of their own way. Okay. Here's a story out of New York. Very
00:37:10.620
sad story. New York City man was out on bail for possession of an illegal firearm. He was on parole
00:37:19.560
for a prior gun crime conviction. And you know what he did over the past few days? He walked up to a
00:37:26.280
random 13-year-old boy and shot him in the neck. This is a guy who should not have been out of jail.
00:37:32.080
He should not have been out of jail on bail for the most recent. He actually shouldn't have been
00:37:37.140
out of jail even to be able to go back into jail to get out of jail because he should have still
00:37:40.680
been in jail from the past conviction. And the guy was out of jail. And so he shoots a 13-year-old
00:37:47.120
boy in the neck. Here's the New York City police officer describing what happened.
00:37:52.040
Now, the individual that was taken into custody, it's got to be noted here. This is an individual
00:37:58.480
who today is on parole for a firearms and illegal drug conviction from back in 2010. This individual,
00:38:07.860
parolee, while on parole in 2019, arrested again for illegal possession of a firearm in 2019,
00:38:17.500
while on patrol for a conviction of carrying a firearm. On that charge in 2019, he gets indicted
00:38:24.780
on that gun and he bails out. So this individual today is on the street while on parole, while for
00:38:33.380
a firearm, while out on bail on another firearm. And today he's walking around the Bronx with the
00:38:39.740
firearm. And we have a 13-year-old boy shot in the neck. And for the grace of God, he's alive here today.
00:38:46.720
If Republicans want to win elections, they can just run on that. Okay, here's the big,
00:38:55.400
I'm not exactly Metternich, okay? I don't consider myself the greatest political philosopher of all
00:39:00.540
time. But maybe relative to the knuckleheads running the show today, maybe I am. Because what
00:39:07.460
I would run on if I were advising a political campaign is put the bad guys in prison. There are
00:39:14.640
bad guys out there who are shooting your kids through the neck and we're going to arrest them
00:39:19.260
and keep them in prison for a very long time. You know, the Republicans always talk about how
00:39:25.920
they have trouble winning over the women vote, the suburban women voters. You know what suburban
00:39:31.480
women love? When bad guys aren't shooting their kids through the neck. You know what suburban women
00:39:36.660
love? Law and order and safety. So why don't Republicans, are Republicans running on that? No,
00:39:43.320
they're not. You know what they're running on? Criminal justice reform, like a bunch of dummies.
00:39:48.600
Criminal justice reform, which is a euphemism for letting criminals out of prison. Why would we do
00:39:53.160
that? Crime is spiking. It's going through the roof. And they're talking about over-incarceration.
00:39:59.660
When crime is going through the roof, that means you have under-incarceration.
00:40:03.440
You don't have enough criminals in jail. Why are we doing this? It is because of the squishes and
00:40:10.280
the libertarians. I'm sorry to say, I like my libertarian friends very much, but that is the
00:40:14.980
faction of the right that is pushing, letting criminals out of prison or reducing sentences
00:40:20.000
or legalizing certain drugs or legalizing certain offenses. That's the, the, the weak on crime
00:40:26.200
portion of the right has a disproportionate influence and it has been electorally a disaster
00:40:34.920
for us. And so what we need, that, that group, the, the hyper libertarian group that wants to
00:40:41.720
legalize everything and let all the criminals out of prison, they have no constituency. Nobody votes
00:40:47.280
for that. If you, if you look at the political compass quiz of, you know, are you in the bottom
00:40:51.680
left or the top right or the whatever, nobody is in that quadrant. Certainly the Republican base is not
00:40:59.100
in that quadrant. Certainly the suburban mothers are not in that quadrant. Run on getting tough on,
00:41:05.240
I can't believe, you know, even Trump, who is a really tough guy. He, he did a great job in many
00:41:08.920
ways. Even he pushed the jailbreak bill. That's the kind of currency that this has in the leadership
00:41:15.620
of the Republican party. And that is how divorced the leadership of the Republican party is from the
00:41:20.040
actual Republican base. And forget just the Republicans from, from actually just the regular old
00:41:25.260
American people. These Republicans cannot win for losing. They can't help but clutch defeat from
00:41:33.120
the jaws of victory. Speaking of crime, there is a new information out from the legacy establishment
00:41:39.820
media on the cause of that horrific crime that took place in Waukesha, Wisconsin. You remember
00:41:46.640
the scenes, dozens and dozens of people injured, six people killed, including a little boy
00:41:53.740
lots of senior citizen women injured and killed for that matter. So the Washington Post has a tweet
00:42:03.560
out about this, about this attack. Quote, here's what we know so far on the sequence of events that led
00:42:12.220
to the Waukesha tragedy caused by an SUV. Those damn SUVs, those psychopathic SUVs, those hate-filled
00:42:22.680
malevolent SUVs. CNN says, quote, Waukesha will hold a moment of silence today, marking one week since a
00:42:30.120
car drove through a city Christmas parade, killing six people and injuring scores of others. A car
00:42:34.860
drove. Unless we're talking about a Tesla, cars don't drive. People drive cars. So the car, the car,
00:42:41.260
what did the car drive? Maybe it was a Tesla driving an SUV. Maybe that's what happened. Wikipedia had an
00:42:46.520
entry for the, quote, 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade car crash. Oops, just a car crash, like someone ran
00:42:51.660
a red light. They had another article for a 2021 Waukesha Christmas parade incident. It was just an
00:42:57.140
incident. No, it was an attack. It was an attack by a reported black nationalist, a radical leftist,
00:43:05.080
a BLM supporter who hated white people, who hated Jews, which we'll get into. We've got now his social
00:43:12.280
media history. He had a political motivation and he attacked civilians. And it would appear that there
00:43:18.680
might've been some relationship between those two things. He was a violent thug criminal. He was not
00:43:24.720
an SUV. The New York Post has a report out on the Waukesha killer. Turns out he really didn't like
00:43:31.860
white people. Lots of pro-BLM posts, a lot of pro-Black Lives Matter. He was a mostly peaceful
00:43:37.720
mass murderer. Here is just some of the posts. Quote, so when we start, by the way, good luck
00:43:45.100
translating this into English, but I'm just reading verbatim. So when we start back knocking white
00:43:51.780
people TF out, I want to hear it. The old white people too, knock them TF out, period. Okay. I think
00:44:02.660
I vaguely can interpret that. Next one, Hitler knew who the real Jews were. The Negroes are the true
00:44:08.720
Hebrews. So this is a line that has been pushed by various black nationalist groups, including the
00:44:16.140
Hebrew Israelites, or I think Nation of Islam pushes the same kind of thing. This is the group you'll
00:44:21.860
remember, or maybe you won't if you were only reading the establishment media, when Nicholas Sandman,
00:44:26.280
the smiling kid in the MAGA hat at the Lincoln monument, when he was being accosted by that lunatic
00:44:31.860
Native American guy. There was a group of black nationalists screaming slurs at him. They were
00:44:36.380
part of the Hebrew Israelites. If you've ever lived in New York or Washington DC, you've probably run
00:44:40.980
into these guys at a certain point. They believe that the Jews are evil and they're like the fake
00:44:44.840
Jews and that black people are the real Jews. And he, I guess this guy was, was part of that.
00:44:49.100
This guy said that World War III would start when people learn Hitler was right and did the world a
00:44:53.280
favor by killing Jews. And you are not going to hear this from establishment media outlets. You're
00:44:59.900
going to hear it on my show. And I guess in the New York Post, maybe from a handful of other places,
00:45:05.880
maybe. You're not going to hear it from CNN or NBC or ABC or any of the others. The reason I bring
00:45:12.100
it up is not, not just because of what a bad guy this guy is. It's not even just because of what bad,
00:45:20.340
irresponsible media outlets the New York Times and Washington Post and ABC and NBC and all those guys
00:45:25.500
are. Part of the reason I bring it up is because it shows you that privilege and oppression do not
00:45:34.220
work in the way that we are told that they work, right? We are told that white people and men and
00:45:42.580
certainly white men and certainly straight white men, oh my gosh, straight white men are the most
00:45:47.380
privileged people in the world who get away with whatever they want to get away with and face no
00:45:51.820
adversity whatsoever. And they are oppressors who get to do whatever they want. We are told that
00:45:58.040
black people and Hispanic people and other kinds of people and women and homosexuals and any other
00:46:03.580
group, any marginalized group, they have no privilege. They are oppressed and pushed to the
00:46:10.640
margins, right? They're marginalized and they can't really do anything because of that evil straight
00:46:15.840
white man. And yet, when a straight white guy acts in self-defense against a mother beater and a
00:46:24.200
pedophile who are trying to murder him in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he is lynched by the public opinion mob
00:46:33.540
and put on trial and very nearly loses his entire life. When a black guy, when a black career criminal
00:46:42.600
who is a black nationalist, who hates white people, who hates Jews, drives a car and kills a dozens,
00:46:49.760
well, injures dozens of people and kills half a dozen people, you just, you don't really hear about
00:46:54.180
it. That's privilege, right? And the straight white guy, that's oppression. And this gets back to a
00:47:01.820
point, even beyond just lamenting how backwards the perception of our culture really is, it gets back
00:47:08.980
to this point of a sociologist I mentioned last week, Rene Girard, who believes that scapegoating,
00:47:15.000
who believes that the victim mentality and mechanism is at the heart of culture. But he makes
00:47:19.260
this point, you never know when you're the one scapegoating. None of us do, myself included. None
00:47:26.660
of us, we just are not aware of it. And you can see it in other people, but it's very hard to see it
00:47:31.420
in yourself. And because the left controls the whole culture right now, it's easier for us to see it in
00:47:37.740
them. They don't realize that they are scapegoating. That's obviously what they're doing. Because when
00:47:44.240
you're scapegoating someone, you always think that you're on the side of truth and justice and the good
00:47:49.980
and what's right. Speaking of racial issues, Prince William just got in trouble. Prince William got in
00:47:55.580
trouble in a very hilarious British aristocratic way. Prince William said over the weekend that
00:48:03.840
Africans having babies is really threatening the wildlife. He said, he said something to the
00:48:09.240
effect of, this is the direct quote, the increasing pressure on Africa's wildlife and wild species
00:48:16.760
is a result. I know the Saxon's not great, but that's fine. As a result of human population presents
00:48:23.040
a huge challenge for conservationists as it does the world over. Which, which is basically the same as
00:48:33.420
saying, when the natives have babies, there are fewer impalas for me to go shoot. I do not, I want to go
00:48:42.900
hunt the rhinoceros, but all the Africans have the babies and then they take away the habitat from the
00:48:50.320
hippopotamus that I want to go shoot on my safari. And this is very, very bad, you see. Yes, yes, very,
00:48:56.720
bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty, bitty. This line of thinking is quite morally backwards, but one must
00:49:03.060
admire the chutzpah. It's just so British. It's just so colonial. It's just so imperial. I want to be
00:49:13.520
clear, because I made some comments about this and then it totally, you know, there were a lot of
00:49:19.520
articles about this and I was quoted in a lot of newspapers around the world. I have nothing but the
00:49:23.720
utmost respect for Prince William. I really, I actually really like the royal family and at
00:49:28.280
least the good members of the royal family, not the Meghan Markle's and, you know, Prince Harry and all
00:49:32.020
that. But I actually have a great deal of respect for the royal family. I think they add a lot of
00:49:35.780
stability and dignity to Britain and to the West. But this, this view is morally totally backwards.
00:49:44.380
If we are going to care about wildlife, we should care about the humans first. Okay. If we want to be
00:49:51.100
good stewards of creation, we need to, we need to put humans first and then everything else will fall
00:49:56.680
into order or is more likely to fall into order. If we put the Delta smelt first, if we put the animals
00:50:02.240
first, we put the plant life first and we disregard humans and we want to cast humans aside, we want to
00:50:08.660
kill humans through abortion. We neglect humans. Then we're going to live in a very backwards world.
00:50:14.020

Today on The Matt Walsh Show, it's been just a week since an anti-white racist massacred six people
00:51:14.860
and injured dozens more at a Christmas parade. The media has already forgotten the attack,
00:51:18.440
but we should not. We'll talk about that today. Also, the robbery and looting epidemic continues
00:51:22.100
to grip our cities. There is a mostly unexplored similarity between all these incidents that we'll
00:51:27.020
talk about today as well. And the dreaded Omicron variant has everyone in a panic, or at least we
00:51:31.960
are told that we should panic over it. Is that reaction warranted? We'll discuss. Plus, another white
00:51:37.200
woman is caught pretending to be a minority and a GOP congresswoman makes an edgy joke about Ilhan Omar
00:51:42.000
and then commits her real sin by apologizing for it. We'll talk about all that and much more today
