Today on the Matt Wall Show, Joe Biden announces

0:02

his re-election bid. The prospect of another four

0:04

years of Biden is terrifying because he's a

0:06

decaying old vegetable, but also because he's

0:08

an anti-family tyrant. Just yesterday, for

0:10

example, Biden declared explicitly that your

0:13

children are not your own. We'll discuss that. Also,

0:15

we're learning more about the circumstances that led Fox

0:18

to make the disastrous decision to fire Tucker

0:20

Carlson. Meanwhile, another cable news host

0:22

also got the ax yesterday. The difference

0:24

is that the other one deserved it. And a report

0:26

details the horrific death of an 18-year-old who

0:29

suffered complications during a quote-unquote gender

0:31

transition surgery. This is yet another reason why

0:34

medical gender transition should be illegal

0:36

for everyone, not just kids.

0:38

I'll explain why. We'll talk about all that and more today

0:40

on the Matt

0:41

Wall Show. Your online data includes

0:44

personal information, such

0:51

as your name, address, phone number, email address,

0:54

financial information, and login credentials.

0:56

Hackers want to steal this information and sell it

0:58

on the dark web, where it can be used for various

1:00

criminal activities, such as phishing, ransomware,

1:03

and identity theft. Needless to say, it's incredibly important

1:05

that you use a VPN to prevent that from happening,

1:08

but choosing a VPN you trust is equally as important.

1:10

That's why we recommend using ExpressVPN

1:13

every time you go online. ExpressVPN makes

1:15

you anonymous online by camouflaging your IP

1:17

address and replacing it with a different secure IP

1:19

of your choice. ExpressVPN also encrypts

1:21

all of your data so that it's protected from hackers and

1:24

anyone else that tries to spy on you. I

1:26

love ExpressVPN because it doesn't log your activity.

1:28

Lots of cheap or free VPNs, they

1:30

make money by selling your data to advertisers, but

1:32

ExpressVPN doesn't do that. They've

1:34

even developed a technology that makes their VPN

1:37

servers incapable of storing any data at

1:39

all. ExpressVPN is incredibly easy

1:41

to use. Just fire up the app and click one button. Plus,

1:43

it works on all of your devices, phone,

1:46

laptop, even your Wi-Fi router. So if

1:48

you're like me and you believe your internet data belongs to

1:50

you, then ExpressVPN is the

1:52

answer. Visit expressvpn.com slash Walsh

This

2:01

week, the media has been

2:03

running with a list that purports to rank

2:05

the 13 most banned books

2:08

of 2022. And the list has

2:10

been put out for the second year in a row, actually, by the

2:12

American Library Association. USA

2:14

Today reports, quote, it's not your

2:16

imagination and it's not fear mongering. Books

2:19

and our free and ready access to them are

2:21

under attack in the US. The American Library

2:23

Association has the data to prove it. The

2:26

ALA today released their list of the 13 most

2:28

challenged books of 2022, the titles that

2:31

have been the biggest targets of banning efforts

2:33

in school and public libraries. The last few

2:35

years have seen a dramatic uptick in the book

2:37

banning attempts,

2:38

an escalation of censorship tactics, and the

2:41

coordinated harassment of teachers and librarians

2:43

as political groups and parent associations target works

2:46

of literature containing what they deem to be objectional

2:48

material for young readers. For more information

2:50

on book banning attempts and how to fight

2:52

against them, go to this website, so on and so forth. So,

2:56

books are under attack, they say, okay?

2:59

That's books themselves, like the

3:01

concept of books are under attack.

3:04

There are people out there who oppose

3:06

books, who hate books and

3:09

want to just ban books. And it

3:11

just so happens that the anti-book faction

3:14

especially has it out for these 13 books

3:17

and they list them.

3:18

Here's the list. We're queer,

3:21

all boys aren't blue, the bluest

3:23

eye, flamer,

3:25

looking for Alaska, the perks of being a wallflower,

3:28

lawn boy, the absolutely true diary

3:30

of a part-time Indian,

3:31

out of darkness, a court of mist

3:33

and fury, crank,

3:35

me and Earl in a dying girl, and

3:37

this book is gay.

3:39

Now, if you know something about these

3:41

books, you'll notice that these books,

3:44

many of them, first

3:47

thing you'll notice is that many of them are

3:50

explicitly sexual.

3:51

Genderqueer, flamer, this

3:54

book is gay, all contain graphic

3:56

sexual depictions and pictures. Lawn

3:58

boy.

3:59

a passage, at least one passage in the book, describing

4:03

a sexual encounter between two 10-year-old

4:05

boys.

4:06

That's what's in the book. None

4:09

of the articles lamenting these bands will

4:12

mention any of that.

4:14

And they also won't mention that the book bands

4:16

aren't really book bands. The books

4:18

aren't being banned from distribution

4:21

in the United States, which is what a book band

4:23

would be,

4:24

though some of them probably should be banned

4:27

from distribution.

4:28

Rather, in some cases, they're being kept out

4:30

of grade school libraries.

4:33

That's it. That's what they consider a book band.

4:36

Simply saying, we're not going to take this book

4:38

that depicts sex acts between 10-year-old

4:41

boys

4:42

and put it in the library at the

4:44

elementary school so that a fourth grader

4:46

can read it. If you do that, they

4:48

cry, this is book banning. We're burning books.

4:52

It's Nazi Germany all over again. Calling

4:55

this a book ban, it's like saying that a movie

4:58

has been banned because it landed

5:00

in our rating. It's

5:01

exactly the same kind of thing. It really is that absurd.

5:04

It's like saying that we still live in the Prohibition

5:06

era because 11-year-olds

5:08

aren't allowed to buy whiskey at the liquor

5:10

store. The claim doesn't make any sense,

5:13

but that's because, as always,

5:14

the people making the claim aren't being honest

5:17

about their true concerns. They

5:19

aren't upset about any fictional attack

5:22

on books. They're upset because

5:24

we're trying to exercise control

5:26

over the material that our children are exposed

5:29

to.

5:30

That's what they're upset about. They don't

5:32

want us stepping in between

5:36

children and them. That's

5:39

what it's all about.

5:40

President Biden made the agenda clear during

5:42

a speech in the Rose Garden yesterday meant to

5:45

honor the 2023 National and State Teachers

5:47

of the Year. During

5:50

this speech, he made one

5:52

especially startling statement. Listen to this.

5:55

Rebecca put a teacher's creed into words

5:57

when she said, there's no such thing

5:59

as someone

5:59

else's child. No

6:02

such thing as someone else's child. Our

6:05

nation's children are all our children. There's

6:08

no such thing as someone else's child.

6:10

Your child is not your child. Your child

6:12

belongs to everyone, he's saying.

6:14

Now, you might like to think that Biden

6:16

doesn't mean this literally, that it's just kind

6:19

of a meaningless platitude.

6:21

But remember that he belongs to the same party that just

6:23

passed

6:24

this law in Washington state. The

6:26

New York Post has the report quote, a Washington

6:28

state bill that would strip parents rights

6:30

to intervene on their kids' medical care in

6:33

certain circumstances, passed the House

6:35

on Wednesday, clearing its pathway to being signed

6:37

by the governor.

6:38

An act relating to supporting youth or Senate

6:41

Bill 5599 allows host

6:43

homes for runaway youth to house

6:45

youth without parental permission. Furthermore,

6:49

the host homes do not

6:51

need to notify parents about where

6:53

their kids are or if they're getting medical

6:55

interventions if there's a compelling

6:57

reason not to, which includes a youth seeking protected

7:00

health services. The protected health services

7:02

include gender affirming care, quote, unquote,

7:05

which for minors arbitrarily included

7:07

anything prescribed by a doctor to treat gender dysphoria,

7:10

the bill said. Quote, gender affirming

7:12

treatment can be prescribed to two-spirit,

7:14

transgender, non-binary, and other gender

7:17

diverse individuals, the bill said.

7:19

Okay, so if a two-spirit child

7:21

runs away from home and ends up at a host home, then

7:24

they can undergo gender transition

7:27

to become

7:28

two-spirit. It's an

7:30

entirely made up concept, obviously.

7:33

Another compelling reason, quote, unquote, not to notify

7:35

parents about kids staying at a host home was

7:37

circumstances that indicate notifying the parent

7:40

or legal guardian will subject the minor

7:42

to abuse or neglect.

7:44

So in other words,

7:45

when this bill is signed into law, if a child in Washington

7:47

state decides that he wants to undergo a medical

7:50

gender transition and his parents object

7:52

to it, all he has to do is run away from home

7:54

and land at one of these host homes. And

7:57

from there, his parents will be stripped all

8:00

rights to protect him from being sterilized and butchered.

8:03

Keep in mind that refusing to affirm your child's

8:06

gender confusion, because that is what

8:08

they're saying you should affirm. So if you refuse

8:10

to affirm the confusion

8:12

of the child,

8:14

if you tell him that he's really a boy, even though he thinks he's

8:16

a girl and so on,

8:18

that counts as abuse and neglect,

8:20

according to the people who write laws like this.

8:23

And this is how they will and have already begun to

8:26

strip rights away from parents across the country

8:28

and induct children into the gender cult by

8:31

force. First

8:33

they set the stage by declaring that

8:35

a lack of affirmation is abusive,

8:38

and then they come to the rescue by

8:41

extracting the children from those abusive

8:43

homes and leaving them

8:46

in the arms of a state where

8:47

they can be shaped and molded in

8:50

a literal physical sense and made

8:52

into the sort of person that the system

8:54

wants them to be.

8:56

So who exactly is consenting

8:59

to the procedure in a case where

9:01

the parents been cut out of the picture completely?

9:03

Well, the child

9:05

cannot consent. The parent

9:07

does not consent.

9:09

Who's authorizing this?

9:11

The answer is that the parent is authorizing

9:14

it because a new parent, a new

9:16

parental figure, has been appointed.

9:18

You know,

9:19

Joe Biden said that our nation's

9:21

children are all of our children, but we

9:24

already know from extensive experience that

9:26

when anyone on the left uses the term our

9:29

or us or we, they

9:32

don't mean it in a general collective

9:34

sense. Okay, this isn't us

9:37

that doesn't include you or

9:39

me. Us means the system,

9:41

the institutions, the powers that be.

9:44

Our nation's children are

9:46

all of our children means that our nation's

9:48

children are the system's children.

9:51

It will raise your child. It will decide what

9:54

is best for him. It will take charge

9:56

of his formation or

9:59

default. both physical and moral.

10:02

As should be clear to everyone

10:04

by now, if it isn't already,

10:06

the

10:08

family unit is the

10:10

greatest threat to the system.

10:12

I mean, it's the left's greatest enemy.

10:15

The left, in

10:18

general, hates local authority. It

10:21

militates against localization

10:23

in every form. It wants you to

10:25

be totally subject to overarching,

10:29

inhuman, bureaucratic

10:31

powers. It wants your life to be run

10:33

by institutions that don't know you,

10:35

don't love you, don't recognize

10:38

you as a distinct individual. And the

10:40

most localized structure, the most local

10:42

form of authority of all, is the

10:44

family.

10:45

In a healthy family, the members of the

10:48

family,

10:49

they look primarily to each other for love

10:52

and guidance and purpose. They're

10:54

not looking out to the institutions and to the system and

10:57

the media and Hollywood and all that. They're

11:00

looking to each other.

11:03

This is a problem for the system because it makes them much

11:05

harder to influence, harder to control.

11:07

So the family must be destroyed. And

11:10

all of the vibrant and fulfilling bonds

11:12

that define the family, the bond between

11:15

husband and wife, the bond between parent and child, must

11:17

be severed and replaced by the lifeless,

11:20

empty bond between subject

11:22

and system, where the subject can be unmade

11:26

and remade in the image of the institutions that

11:28

wish to control his life. That

11:31

is what they intend to do to you and especially

11:33

to your children.

11:35

And it's why we have to hold our children close

11:38

and never allow it. Now

11:40

let's get to our five headlines.

11:46

The first step in growing up

11:48

and being a real man is getting off your

11:50

parents' phone plan. Okay. Getting your

11:53

own cell phone plan gives you a sense of independence and responsibility.

11:56

And if you're an adult, you just, you need to be paying for

11:58

your own damn phone. It's a step towards the end. towards becoming

12:00

more self-sufficient. By paying for your own

12:02

finances, you learn how to budget and manage your

12:04

money. There are a ton of cell phone providers

12:07

out there. Unfortunately, most of them want to lock you into

12:09

horrific contracts and will tack on hidden

12:11

fees any chance they get. That's why

12:13

I'm a huge fan of Pure Talk. There are no contracts,

12:15

no hassle. You can cancel it anytime. Pure

12:17

Talk is a plan that uses the same

12:20

nationwide networks as major carriers, so you'll get the

12:22

same reliable coverage that you're used to

12:25

just without all the other junk. They offer a range

12:27

of cell phone plans that best fit your

12:29

needs and your budget. You can get unlimited talk

12:31

text and plenty of data for just 30 bucks a

12:33

month. Switching over to Pure Talk is so easy.

12:35

You can make the switch, keep your cell phone, keep

12:37

your phone number. With their US

12:40

customer service team, you can make the switch in as little

12:42

as 10 minutes. Pure Talk is so sure that you're

12:44

gonna love your service. They're backing

12:46

it up with a 100% money-back guarantee. So

12:53

12:54

Pure Talk is simply smarter wireless.

12:57

Yesterday we had news of Tucker Carlson

12:59

abruptly leaving Fox News, and

13:02

we now know that he was, as

13:04

seemed

13:05

kind of obvious yesterday, but it wasn't confirmed, he was fired.

13:09

The reasons are still murky.

13:12

Reports in the LA Times and other places suggest

13:14

that Rupert Murdoch made the decision

13:17

to get rid of Tucker. Some of the media are

13:19

suggesting it has to do with different

13:21

lawsuits, a discrimination lawsuit that

13:23

was filed by a former Tucker producer. But

13:26

I find that hard to believe, given that, well,

13:28

Fox itself says that that particular

13:30

lawsuit has no merit,

13:32

which we would expect them to

13:34

say.

13:36

And just based on the details that have been reported, it certainly

13:39

seems, from my

13:41

perspective, to have no merit. I mean, this woman complains,

13:43

for example,

13:44

about a jokey picture

13:46

of Nancy Pelosi that was hanging on a wall

13:50

in an office somewhere. That's the kind of thing she's offended

13:53

by in filing a lawsuit about.

13:54

So I don't think that's the reason. I

13:57

think that there may have been many

13:59

things that

14:00

contributed to it, but I think that

14:03

basically they push Tucker

14:05

out because of what he stands for and what he says. That's

14:08

really what it comes down to. Tucker is not

14:12

a neocon, corporatist, milk toast Republican.

14:16

Because he's not that,

14:18

he's not welcome on Fox. They're

14:21

looking for a reason to get rid of him for that reason alone. I

14:24

really think it's that simple. Tucker is also interesting,

14:27

and they seem to have a problem with interesting

14:29

people. I mean, that goes all the way back to when they fired Glenn

14:32

Beck, who committed the crime of being interesting.

14:35

There's something else to be said about Tucker too,

14:39

which is that he's not only a great talent,

14:42

and he is a great talent, like I said yesterday, his monologues

14:44

make news. He does monologues

14:47

on the news, and he makes news with them. This

14:49

is a rare talent. Nobody else

14:51

at Fox

14:52

is doing that. Nobody else in cable news has that

14:54

kind of talent. As

14:57

I said, a rare talent.

14:58

But aside from the talent, Tucker's also a good

15:01

guy. So just one, and people

15:04

are sharing different stories about their encounters with Tucker Carlson.

15:07

So here's one quick personal story, and

15:09

I think it

15:10

tells you a lot about him. So years ago,

15:12

this is maybe, I don't know,

15:15

this is maybe four years ago, maybe five

15:17

years ago, Tucker texted

15:20

me one day out of the blue to

15:22

tell me that he appreciates my work, and he

15:24

encouraged me to keep going.

15:27

Now keep in mind, I had

15:28

a much smaller profile back

15:30

then. This was when, I believe I was still doing my podcast

15:33

out of my car, and there was about 30 people

15:36

who were watching it.

15:38

So relatively obscure, especially

15:41

compared to now. I didn't

15:43

think that Tucker even knew who I was, and yet

15:45

he took the time to track down

15:47

my phone number and send me a text, even

15:49

though I obviously had nothing

15:51

I could give him in return. It's not

15:53

like he needed me to promote

15:56

his work or something like that. It

15:58

was just something that he felt like.

15:59

compelled to do when he did.

16:01

That is, I

16:03

cannot stress enough how

16:05

rare that sort of thing is

16:07

probably in any business, but especially in

16:09

this business. People

16:11

will be nice to you,

16:13

you know, people will be nice to you, but it's because they

16:16

usually want something from you. They're being nice

16:18

to you because they want, and oftentimes they

16:20

want, you know, promote something, they

16:23

want you to put them in touch with someone who you know,

16:25

it's like that sort of thing.

16:26

So it's very transactional, very mercenary.

16:29

It's extremely rare that somebody

16:32

would

16:33

just kind of reach out

16:34

to encourage you when you have nothing

16:37

that you can give them in return.

16:39

And so that alone,

16:42

I think, tells you a lot about him. And

16:44

the question now is what he does next. Personally,

16:47

I think the Daily Wire is the best place for

16:49

him. I'm a little bit biased, but I do really believe

16:51

that.

16:52

You know, I think if you're Tucker Carlson, you've got, you

16:56

know, basically

16:58

two options, or

17:00

I guess there's a third, you could just decide you want to get out of the

17:02

rat race completely. I hope he doesn't do that.

17:06

But aside from that, you can go off and do your own thing, or

17:10

you can

17:10

join another institution. And I

17:13

think that, you know, there are other

17:15

institutions in conservative media that do great work,

17:18

but I don't think there's any other place like the Daily Wire. So

17:21

that would be my pitch to him, but we'll see

17:23

what he does. Of course, there was a lot of

17:26

celebrating over this on

17:28

the left, as you can imagine. Probably

17:30

don't need any examples of that. But here's just

17:33

one example from The View as

17:35

they first learned the news that Tucker Carlson had been

17:37

fired. And here's how they reacted to

17:39

that. The word has just come down

17:41

that Fox News Media and Tucker Carlson

17:44

have agreed to part WAVES.

18:00

You know we'll talk more about it tomorrow

18:03

because but we wanted to make sure that we

18:05

let you know what was going

18:06

well Can I can I ask the audience if they'll

18:08

help me do something? Come

18:11

on folks

18:13

Na na na na na na hey hey

18:17

hey goodbye Na

18:21

na na na na I

18:24

mean, sayonada

18:27

I don't think anyone likes to celebrate

18:29

the demise of someone's career Alright that's good Yeah

18:31

we don't, well we don't want to celebrate the demise of

18:33

someone's career but we're going to Uh,

18:36

but it's, fortunately it's

18:38

actually not the demise of Tucker Carlson's

18:41

career at all I think

18:43

this is going to work out better for him in the end to be

18:45

out from under Fox News and

18:47

go to a place where

18:50

There's no one trying to control what he says,

18:53

whether that's out on his own or somewhere else So

18:55

it's certainly not the demise of his career You have to understand

18:58

too that

18:59

so much of this, the reaction

19:01

to Tucker Carlson, especially from other members

19:03

of the media Is driven by pure jealousy

19:06

Megyn Kelly I think made this point yesterday and

19:08

it's true Especially in reaction to this

19:11

clip by The View Like

19:12

lots of people in media, obviously they

19:14

hate him on ideological grounds He's

19:18

one of the most effective advocates for

19:21

true conservative principles in media

19:25

And so they hate him for that

19:28

But they hate him all the more because

19:30

he gets ratings

19:34

And he can go on his own and host

19:36

his own show and

19:38

carry a show by himself

19:39

And millions of people

19:42

will tune in to watch it and they'll talk about it So

19:46

that alone is enough reason for

19:48

especially the hens on The View

19:50

to hate him

19:52

Because they're all a bunch of, you know, they're all a bunch of sidekicks

19:55

They could never take any one of those

19:57

women individually And many of

19:59

them have attacked him

19:59

They're all attempted to host their own shows, and they're all failures.

20:02

They could never, you could never take one of those

20:04

women and put them on their own show

20:07

and expect millions of people to tune in to listen to what

20:09

they have to say. It would never happen.

20:11

So the fact that Tucker Carlson can be

20:13

compelling on his own, commanding

20:16

presence, sitting in front of the camera, and

20:18

they could never do that,

20:20

reason enough for them to hate him.

20:23

But there was other news in cable

20:25

news yesterday, going from a guy

20:27

who didn't deserve to be fired,

20:29

because he was the dominant figure and he's getting in

20:31

cable news and getting all the ratings. So that's Tucker

20:33

Carlson. Then we go over to a guy who certainly did

20:36

deserve to be fired. He's been deserving

20:38

it for like 15 years. Don Lemon was

20:40

terminated, and it was pretty devastating

20:43

to me because I found out like right

20:45

after we finished filming yesterday that Don Lemon was fired,

20:48

which just meant that I didn't

20:50

have a chance on the air to

20:53

make fun of him for it. But yeah,

20:56

at least now we can. So CNN

20:59

decided to get rid of him.

21:00

He was not happy about it. He put

21:02

out a statement bashing the network, which they

21:04

then responded to, and it seems

21:07

like the two parties don't like each other. That's my

21:09

expert media analysis of this

21:11

situation. As to what led

21:13

to it,

21:15

there are many people who are speculating that

21:19

this awkward exchange, which will play a little bit for

21:21

you,

21:21

between

21:22

Don Lemon and Vivek Ramaswamy

21:25

on Friday may have been the final

21:27

straws. Obviously it was not the

21:29

thing

21:29

that on its own determined that he was going to be fired, but

21:31

this is kind of the last thing that Don Lemon

21:34

did before he did get fired.

21:36

Let's watch a little bit of this.

21:39

The very policies that we implemented in

21:41

this country in the name of helping black Americans

21:44

have actually been disastrous for black Americans

21:46

and all Americans. And I think that that's something that we need

21:48

to wake up to.

21:49

In 1865, you were talking about the black

21:51

codes, right? That's right. Past enacted

21:53

to make it a crime for a black person to carry

21:55

a gun in the South. Exactly.

21:57

But you're equating that to the current president? You're

22:00

referring to economic chains. What are you saying?

22:02

Well, I was referring to Joe Biden's, I think

22:04

ill-chosen expression to say they're the party that

22:06

wants to put you back into chains. What I'm

22:08

actually saying is that if you look at the policies

22:10

of the modern democratic party- You just said that about Democrats. Absolutely.

22:13

So what I'm saying is that actually it's policies

22:16

like that of Lyndon Johnson and Joe Biden

22:18

that are actually holding black Americans back. Lyndon Johnson's

22:20

the war on poverty? Yes, and in particular,

22:23

his great society where he actually created

22:25

incentives in the family, where if you're a

22:27

family, you could actually get more money by

22:29

not having the father in the home. Yes, what you

22:32

get,

22:32

you get what you pay for. I think it's been really bad

22:34

for the black community. I think it's really bad for all Americans. Do

22:36

you have anything on this before I move on to China? I don't

22:38

see what one has to do with the other, but go

22:41

on, I took up a lot of time with Fox News. Oh, it's fine, we

22:43

have time. I don't really see what one has to do

22:45

with the other, especially consider, and using

22:48

the civil war to talk about black

22:50

Americans. That war was not fought for black people

22:52

to have guns. That war

22:54

was fought for black people to have freedoms in this

22:56

country. Actually, that's why the civil war was fought.

22:59

Okay, but that wasn't fought for black

23:01

people to have guns. Actually,

23:03

you know what, a funny fact is, black people did

23:05

not get to enjoy the other freedoms until

23:07

their Second Amendment rights were secured.

23:10

And I think that that's one of the lessons that we learned. But black

23:12

people still aren't allowed to enjoy the freedoms as well as

23:14

this country. I disagree with you on that, Don. I disagree with

23:16

you on that. I think you're doing a disservice to our country by

23:19

failing to recognize the fact that we have the quality

23:21

of the law to it. When you are only black skinned, and you live

23:23

in this country, then you can disagree with me. But we're not, you

23:25

mentioned in there that we have three different shapes and elements. Don, I

23:27

think we have to be able to talk about these issues in the open

23:29

regardless of the color of our skin. Black

23:31

Americans today to say that. Okay, so

23:34

Don Lemon is offended. We

23:36

can stop that. Don Lemon's offended. And

23:38

you're not a black American. You can't say this.

23:40

People are

23:41

claiming that this is part of the reason you got

23:43

fired. I don't buy that for a second. I mean, since

23:48

when is the left-wing cable news

23:50

gonna fire one of their anchors

23:53

for playing the race card?

23:55

Is that, that's what's happening now at CNN? You're

23:58

not allowed to play the race card?

24:01

Well, then they have to fire everybody. Everyone's

24:04

gone in that case. So

24:07

I don't really buy it. There's

24:10

also this from The Daily Wire saying it's less

24:12

about playing race cards and all that and more

24:14

about misogyny and sexism.

24:18

The Daily Wire posts article, CNN

24:20

insiders took aim at former CNN anchor Don

24:22

Lemon after he was fired on Monday. Lemon was unceremoniously

24:25

sacked, prompting him to issue a statement in which he complained

24:27

that CNN's management did not have the decency

24:29

to tell me directly, adding that he was stunned.

24:32

And then

24:35

CNN disagreed with that and said that

24:38

we did tell him and whatever else who cares.

24:42

One source told The Daily Mail, Don was given

24:44

every indication when he made the fake

24:46

ass apology for his disgusting comments

24:49

and still no one wanted anything to do with him.

24:51

This is after I think the comments

24:53

he's talking about is when he said about

24:57

Nikki Haley that she's pastor prime. No

24:59

one owes him anything. He should have had the decency

25:01

to not be a misogynistic sexist

25:04

POS.

25:05

Don truly believed he was going to always

25:07

get out of jail free card

25:09

because he's black and gay, which

25:12

worked to his advantage until it couldn't.

25:14

It doesn't matter what color you are or what your sexuality

25:16

is, the source continued. He lost the respect

25:19

of all the women on staff and no one wanted

25:21

to work with him.

25:22

Even after this, he still acted no differently and

25:24

would give the women he worked with attitude because

25:26

he could sense that they felt a certain way. Good

25:29

riddance and good luck getting a job elsewhere.

25:32

Sources from CNN previously told The Daily Mail that

25:34

women upset at Lemon's misogyny told

25:36

management that either Lemon had to go or they

25:39

would. One source said, people are hurt by his actions

25:41

and are not going to let this go. It's like

25:43

every woman over 50 in America has taken this as a

25:45

personal insult. The female staffers at CNN definitely

25:48

have.

25:50

He needs to make his vacation a permanent

25:52

one.

25:53

Lemon's various denigrations of women have included

25:55

suggesting to Bill Cosby's sexual assault

25:57

accuser Joan Tarshish.

25:59

Tarshish that

26:02

she should have bitten Cosby's penis. What?

26:06

Insimating politician Nikki Haley was

26:08

past her prime because she was 51 years old, as

26:10

he stated a woman is in her prime in the 20s and 30s,

26:12

maybe 40s, and also asking panelists

26:15

Essie Kupp whether she was suffering from

26:17

mommy brain.

26:20

So those are his sexist

26:21

indiscretions, apparently.

26:23

You

26:28

know, especially the last two,

26:31

and we talked about this at the time, the thing when he said Nikki Haley's

26:33

past her prime, that's not, it

26:35

was incoherent and it was

26:37

stupid,

26:39

but it wasn't

26:41

driven by his hatred of women.

26:44

Saying Essie Kupp something about

26:46

a mommy brain, you know, that's an expression

26:49

people use. It's not sexist, okay?

26:51

And even on the right, we shouldn't pretend

26:54

because we're happy

26:56

that, hey, it's fine to be happy that Don Lemon got fired,

26:59

but we shouldn't jump on this bandwagon

27:01

by saying, oh yeah, talking about a mommy brain. Well,

27:04

that's unthinkable.

27:06

That's sexist, that's misogynistic. Oh,

27:08

come on. No,

27:12

Don Lemon, and this is not a defense

27:14

of him, by the way, at all. It's

27:16

not that he's misogynistic, it's not that he hates

27:19

women.

27:21

He's talking over

27:23

women and he's treating women. So he treats everybody

27:25

that way. He's just an a-hole, he's a jerk,

27:28

he's a narcissist like so many in the business.

27:31

That's what he is, and he's also a partisan,

27:34

untalented hack, and he has been for

27:36

years. That's why he deserves to get fired. He

27:40

doesn't even drive ratings. Should've

27:43

been fired a long time ago on

27:45

that basis alone. That's

27:48

why he should've been fired, but there's some poetic justice

27:50

in the fact that

27:56

though he has been a partisan, untalented hack

27:58

for years,

28:00

and never got fired, this

28:03

is what takes him down. When they pin some

28:05

bogus sexism charges

28:07

on him.

28:09

This is actually an example of the

28:11

left eating their own.

28:13

And I think it's great. You

28:16

know,

28:16

it is a fitting end to his career.

28:19

And I think for him, now this is not, as we said, this

28:21

is not the end of Tucker Carlson's career because

28:23

he's got a huge base of support around

28:25

him. And whatever he does next, millions

28:27

of people will go with him to that next endeavor. For

28:31

Don Lemon, there's no one, no

28:33

one is sitting around saying, I gotta see what Don Lemon does next.

28:36

Whatever Don Lemon goes, I'm going with him.

28:39

Like there is, for Don Lemon, it's

28:41

difficult for anyone to start their own media empire.

28:44

Tucker Carlson could do it, it'd be

28:46

hard, but he could do it.

28:47

Don Lemon could never do that. Okay,

28:50

he's not, he can't start Lemon News or something and

28:52

it's Don Lemon 24 seven, people are gonna go tune

28:54

in. So

28:58

that doesn't exist for him.

29:00

This, and therefore in

29:03

his case, this is essentially the

29:05

end of his career.

29:07

Especially because he got the misogyny,

29:09

sexist label on the way out the door. It's

29:12

also interesting to see, and I don't

29:14

know, and maybe we don't wanna make too much of this, but as

29:16

you know, I'm someone who studies,

29:20

I'm kind of a student of the left's victim

29:22

hierarchy and this kind of complicated

29:25

equation that determines who the Uber

29:27

victim is. And when you've got competing

29:30

victim claims, how do you decide

29:33

who

29:34

triumphs in that situation, who the true victim

29:37

is? And on the left, victimhood is power.

29:39

So the higher you are on

29:40

the victimhood hierarchy, it's kind of this, it's

29:42

sort of like an inverse pyramid, because the higher you

29:45

are on it, it means the more victimized you

29:47

are, but the more victimized you are, the more power

29:49

you have. That's the way that it works on the left.

29:51

And normally,

29:53

in

29:54

fact, as this source at CNN points out, I

29:57

mean, normally

29:58

being black and gay. That

30:00

gives you a lot of intersectional

30:03

victim power.

30:06

And there's the only person who could be

30:08

above you on the hierarchy is someone who's trans.

30:10

That's usually the way it works. And for a long time,

30:12

women have been, you

30:14

know, they're not as far down as white men on the victim

30:16

hierarchy, but they're

30:19

pretty far down. So

30:21

pretty much any victim claim that a woman makes

30:23

can be superseded by someone

30:25

who has more victim power than the woman.

30:28

Yet in this case,

30:30

you have someone who's black and gay,

30:32

and they're being taken out

30:34

by victim claims being made by women.

30:36

So that's interesting. Has

30:40

there been an upheaval in the victim hierarchy?

30:43

Are women climbing up the ladder once more? I

30:46

don't know. We'll have to pay

30:49

attention, see what happens next. All

30:52

right. Joe Biden has officially

30:54

announced his reelection campaign. He

30:56

put out a video

30:57

this morning announcing it. We'll watch a little bit of

31:00

that.

31:10

Freedom, personal

31:14

freedom is fundamental to who we are as Americans.

31:17

There's nothing more important, nothing more

31:19

sacred. That's been the work of my first

31:21

term, to fight for our democracy.

31:23

This shouldn't be a redder than we should.

31:27

To protect our rights, to make sure that everyone

31:29

in this country is treated equally, and that everyone

31:31

is given a fair shot

31:33

at making it.

31:35

But you know, around the country, MAGA extremists

31:38

are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms.

31:41

Cutting Social Security that you've paid for

31:43

your entire life while cutting taxes for the

31:45

very wealthy. Dictating what health care

31:47

decisions women can make. Banning books

31:50

and telling people who they can love. All

31:53

while making it more difficult for you to be able to vote.

32:04

When I ran for president four years ago, I

32:07

said we're in a battle for the soul of America. And

32:10

we still are. The

32:12

question we're facing is whether in the years ahead,

32:15

we have more freedom or less freedom.

32:17

More rights are fewer. I know what

32:20

I want the answer to be, and I think you do too. This

32:23

is not a time to be complacent.

32:29

That's why I'm running for reelection.

32:33

Because I know America. I

32:37

know we're good and decent people. I

32:39

know we're still a country that believes in honesty and

32:41

respect and treating each other with dignity.

32:45

That we're a nation where we give hate

32:47

no safe harbor. We believe that everyone

32:49

is equal, that everyone should be given a fair

32:51

shot to succeed in this country. Every

32:59

generation of Americans have faced a moment when

33:02

they have to defend democracy.

33:03

Stand up for our personal freedom. Stand

33:06

up for the right to vote and our civil

33:08

rights.

33:14

And this is our moment. So if you're

33:21

with me,

33:24

go to

33:26

Joe Biden.com.

33:46

Let's finish this job. I know we can't. Because

33:48

this is the United States of America. There's

33:50

nothing, simply nothing we cannot do

33:53

if we

33:55

do it together. All

34:01

right, so

34:04

there you go. Joe Biden is running for reelection,

34:08

a not unexpected turn

34:10

of events.

34:11

And this is the time he's pretty funny because it was

34:13

just yesterday that media had this report.

34:16

President Joe Biden may be 48 hours away from announcing his reelection

34:18

bid, but nearly three out of four Americans

34:21

are hoping he has a last minute change of heart. According

34:23

to a new poll put out a Sunday

34:25

from NBC News. Okay,

34:26

so this is not a Fox News poll. This is

34:29

not a poll from some right wing source. NBC

34:32

News, 70% of Americans do

34:34

not want Biden to run for a second term compared

34:36

to only 26% who do.

34:38

Among those who don't want the 80 year

34:40

old president to pursue a second term, 69% cite age

34:42

as a reason why with 48% calling it a major reason.

34:48

That in fact is all the reason you

34:50

need.

34:53

It's all the reason you need, but we also don't need

34:55

that reason at all when it comes to Joe Biden.

34:57

Because as it happens, he is this decaying

35:00

old dementia riddled husk

35:02

of a person, a vegetable, and

35:05

that's true. But he's also

35:07

run, and these things are not unrelated, but he's also

35:09

run the most disastrously incompetent

35:12

administration, presidential administration,

35:14

potentially in American history.

35:16

It's certainly in the running.

35:18

Before we can declare that

35:21

the most disastrous presidential administration

35:23

history, we need to see the effects

35:25

of this administration for years into the future,

35:28

but it's certainly in the running. I mean, it's one of the worst

35:30

presidential administrations in

35:32

American history. By every conceivable

35:35

measure, it doesn't matter what you're looking at,

35:38

whether we're talking about the situation globally,

35:40

we're talking about our economy,

35:43

cultural situation, crime, everything

35:48

has been

35:49

on the decline

35:50

under Joe Biden.

35:52

There's really no, there's not one single

35:55

marker that Biden can

35:58

point to and say, look, you see that's got to be done.

35:59

better under my watch. Literally

36:02

everything got worse.

36:06

And that's enough reason. But then also he's going

36:09

to be 82 years old. If he takes office

36:11

again, he'll be 82 years old.

36:13

If he survives his second term, which is a big

36:15

if,

36:16

you know, I mean, you got to put, if he wins reelection,

36:20

the

36:22

possibility that he makes it to the end

36:24

of that term, it's not more

36:26

than 50%. It couldn't be

36:28

more than 50%. The

36:30

average life expectancy for a man in

36:33

modern America is, I think, 85,

36:36

86. So you're right there on the cusp of it. But

36:40

you also happen to be, you know,

36:43

most men at this age are retired and

36:45

they're, you know, living a kind of relaxing

36:47

life. When

36:50

you take someone that age and you put them in one of the

36:52

most stressful jobs in existence,

36:56

that's not going to increase your life expectancy.

37:00

Now we've all seen the pictures of relatively

37:02

young men, whether it's George Bush, Barack

37:04

Obama, who went into the White

37:07

House and then you see what they look like eight years later. They

37:09

aged eight years, but it looks like they aged 30 years.

37:11

The

37:13

only person that wasn't the case for is Donald

37:16

Trump. If anything, it looks slightly younger at the end of

37:18

it somehow. But for everyone

37:20

else, so that's how much it ages you. If you go into

37:23

it already in your 80s,

37:26

by the time you get out, you're 500 years old in

37:28

president years,

37:30

which is

37:32

why we, you know,

37:34

I will know that we maybe are on our

37:36

way to being a somewhat serious country again, when

37:38

there's an actual conversation

37:40

about

37:41

putting laws in place

37:44

to prohibit anyone over a certain

37:47

age from running for office.

37:49

As I've been saying forever, okay,

37:52

I've been making this case long before Joe

37:55

Biden even ran for president. We

37:58

have a lower age limit for the president. presidency

38:00

of 35,

38:01

obviously there should be an upper age limit.

38:04

We can't claim that age is irrelevant.

38:07

Obviously, it's not irrelevant.

38:09

And if we're saying that

38:11

someone who's 28 years old is automatically

38:14

not fit to be president simply because they're 28, which

38:16

I agree with, by the way. I don't want a 28-year-old president.

38:20

Then, of course, we can do that on the upper end as well. There

38:23

are just physical realities to

38:25

being a human being. We are mortal.

38:28

And what that means, and it's a scary thing to think about,

38:30

but what that means is that our minds and our bodies

38:33

decline as we get older.

38:35

They just do.

38:36

And that obviously is happening

38:38

with Joe Biden, which is also

38:40

why it

38:41

could not be, and I know that

38:44

every single presidential election you

38:46

have both sides saying, this is the most important election

38:48

in history. If we don't win this, America is over. I'm

38:51

not saying that America is over if we don't win it, but

38:54

this in fact is going

38:56

to be one of the most important presidential elections in American

38:58

history for a lot of reasons. But

39:01

look,

39:02

if you can take this decaying 82-year-old

39:05

dementia-plagued husk, this

39:08

vegetable, who has

39:10

been a total failure on every

39:12

level,

39:14

and if he can win, and who 70%

39:16

of Americans don't even

39:19

want him to run for reelection, and then he wins

39:21

anyway, well,

39:23

then that's just—that really is. How

39:26

does the Republican Party—how is

39:28

there any opposition party after that? How does the Republican Party

39:31

recover from that? That's just the end of the Republican

39:33

Party. It's over at that point. So

39:37

we absolutely need to run someone who

39:39

can beat him. That's

39:40

why I told you that for me in the Republican

39:43

primary, I'm a single-issue voter

39:46

in the Republican primary. And my

39:48

single issue

39:49

is whether

39:51

the Republican

39:53

can beat Biden, beat

39:55

him handily. Okay, I don't even want

39:57

a close victory. I don't want you to squeak

39:59

out.

39:59

I don't want you to edge out a victory. Beat

40:02

him handily. That's

40:04

the only thing that matters in the primary. We

40:07

have to nominate the person who has the best

40:09

chance of beating this guy. Whoever

40:13

you support in the primary, that's the

40:15

argument you need to be making. I don't care about any other argument.

40:18

For right now, the only argument you need to

40:20

make is, well, here's why my guy

40:23

has the best chance of beating Biden.

40:26

All right, Post-Millennial has this

40:28

report, a 2016 medical article

40:31

documenting the tragic death of one of the participants

40:33

in the Lynch-Pinn Dutch study upon

40:35

which the entire child sex change experiment

40:38

is based indicates that puberty

40:40

suppression was to blame for the young person's

40:42

death. The case is that of an 18-year-old

40:44

trans-identified male whose puberty was

40:46

blocked by the Dutch researchers at a very early

40:49

stage, meaning there wasn't enough penile tissue for

40:51

surgeons to use to create a neo-vagina.

40:55

Therefore, a more risky procedure using a section

40:57

of the patient's bowel was necessary,

40:59

which resulted in fatal necrotizing

41:01

fasciitis. The

41:04

manuscript begins by saying that the absence

41:06

of a functional vagina has a negative effect on

41:08

the sexual quality of life of transgender

41:10

women

41:11

and explains that multiple surgical procedures

41:14

have been described for vaginal

41:17

reconstruction in these patients. The

41:19

patient is described as being a healthy 18-year-old

41:21

for whom standard vaginoplasty

41:23

surgery was not feasible due to having undeveloped

41:26

genitals as a result of early puberty suppression. Quote,

41:29

transgender women with early onset gender dysphoria

41:31

treated with puberty suppressing hormones report fewer

41:33

behavioral and emotional problems and an improvement

41:35

of general functioning. Readers

41:38

are assured at this point.

41:40

Major complications began within 24 hours of surgery

41:43

and necrotizing fasciitis was confirmed

41:46

in the days that followed. Despite large doses

41:48

of intravenous antibiotics and repeated surgical

41:51

interventions, the previously healthy patient went

41:53

into multiple organ failure and died.

41:57

Once again, after this harrowing account the

42:01

researchers assure the reader that vaginal

42:03

reconstruction has a positive influence on the quality of life of non-transgender

42:07

and transgender women, but cautions that

42:09

physicians and patients need to be aware of

42:12

serious complications that may arise. The investigation

42:15

into the young person's death revealed that the deadly strain

42:17

of E. coli most likely came from the patient's own intestines, but

42:22

not from a hospital setting, meaning that the more

42:24

risky vaginoplasty surgery necessary due

42:26

to early puberty suppression almost certainly

42:28

caused the fatality.

42:29

So this is one case. This

42:32

is something that happened in 2016. We're

42:34

just now hearing about it because the post-millennial had this report.

42:37

It's

42:39

unlikely

42:44

that we're going to be told about all of

42:46

the cases where somebody dies from complications

42:48

from these Frankenstein procedures. But

42:51

there's very good reason to think that

42:54

it happens, that this is certainly

42:56

not the only case. This

43:00

is not an aberration.

43:02

You are taking, in this case,

43:05

you're

43:06

taking a male

43:09

and you are trying to

43:14

mutilate his genitals

43:17

in a way to create the approximation of

43:20

a vagina, but of course you can't actually

43:22

make that. It's not possible.

43:25

So instead it's all cosmetic. You're

43:29

trying to create something that looks like it but will never be that.

43:32

And there are physical consequences to doing that.

43:35

And none of the physical

43:37

consequences are good. It's all bad. This

43:43

is why, as I've been saying

43:45

for a long time,

43:46

it should not be legal for doctors to do this to

43:48

anyone. Yes,

43:51

we should protect children most of

43:53

all because they can't consent to it and to

43:55

do it to a child is especially abhorrent. But

43:58

one thing that's important to me is that

43:59

it's not just a child. Once we've done that, the

44:02

next step is to protect everyone from it.

44:05

Now, I know that the response, even

44:07

from any conservatives, they say, oh, it's a step too far.

44:10

Oh, you know, don't do this to kids,

44:12

but adults can do what they want

44:15

with their own bodies. Well,

44:16

first of all, no, that's not true. Okay,

44:20

if you're a conservative and you're still using slogans

44:22

like this, do

44:23

what you want with your own body.

44:25

What you have to understand is that

44:27

you have bought into,

44:29

you are making a leftist argument.

44:32

You have bought into the left's ideas

44:35

fully when you're making arguments like that. It's not true

44:37

that you could just do it. That's

44:39

not the case.

44:40

At least it shouldn't be. So

44:42

for example,

44:44

if there was a person mentally ill

44:47

and they're trying to cut off their own leg,

44:50

should we just let him do it?

44:52

Should we let a mentally ill person mutilate

44:55

themselves in this way?

44:57

Or should we intervene and prevent

44:59

it? Even if that means putting them in some kind

45:01

of asylum to stop them from hurting themselves? Well,

45:04

obviously we should. I think most people

45:07

would say, if you have someone

45:09

who's cutting, self mutilating,

45:12

are you just going to stand

45:14

off? Someone's right in front of you cutting themselves.

45:16

Are you going to stand off to the side and say, well, do what they

45:18

want with their own body? What

45:22

if they were to kill themselves in front of you? What if someone's about

45:24

to jump off of a bridge right in front of you? Are

45:26

you going to stand there and watch it? Just

45:29

eat some popcorn and watch and kill themselves?

45:31

Probably do. Man, it's an adult doing what he wants with his body.

45:34

Or are you going to try to prevent it? Are you going to try

45:36

to stop it? Are you going to intervene?

45:39

Because this person is not thinking

45:41

straight.

45:42

They're not thinking clearly. They're about to destroy themselves.

45:46

And sometimes we need to do that for people. We need

45:48

to intervene to stop them from doing things

45:50

to themselves.

45:52

Obviously, we should. So no.

45:55

Okay, it's not true that people should be able

45:57

to just do whatever they want with their own body. And

46:00

in general, the argument,

46:03

because I want to,

46:06

that is never a good enough reason

46:08

to justify something on its own.

46:11

The simple fact that you want to do something, that

46:13

a person wants to do something, that on its own

46:16

is never a good enough argument to justify

46:18

anything.

46:20

But that's all basically

46:22

irrelevant, in fact,

46:23

because we're not talking about what people do

46:26

to their own bodies.

46:28

That's a separate conversation.

46:29

We can have that conversation.

46:32

But that is not what's happening here. When

46:34

it comes to gender-transition surgeries, it

46:37

is not a case of people doing

46:40

things to their own bodies. This

46:43

is something that a doctor does

46:45

to a person's body.

46:47

So when I say it should not be legal, that

46:49

gender-transition surgery should not be legal

46:52

for anyone at any age, which is

46:54

what I believe,

46:55

it should be illegal across the board, when

46:57

I say that, that's not a restriction.

47:00

That is not, in fact, a restriction that we're putting on the

47:02

gender-confused person.

47:04

That's a restriction we're putting on the doctors.

47:08

What we're saying is that it should not be legal for

47:10

doctors to do that

47:13

to anyone.

47:15

It should not be legal for doctors to perform

47:17

this experimental

47:20

Nazi science

47:23

Frankenstein surgery butchery

47:25

on anyone. It should not be legal

47:27

to do that to someone.

47:29

And especially when somebody is mentally ill

47:31

and they're coming to the medical, you

47:33

know, they are going

47:36

to a doctor, they're going to a medical institution

47:39

because they're mentally ill and they're confused,

47:42

it should not be legal for doctors to

47:44

exploit that confusion for

47:47

financial gain.

47:49

When someone is confused

47:52

and they want something done to them that

47:54

will harm them, it

47:56

is not okay for the doctor to say, okay,

47:58

well, I'll do that to you, sure. If

48:01

you can pay for it,

48:03

or if your insurance can pay for it, obviously

48:06

that shouldn't be legal. Obviously

48:10

that defies any kind

48:12

of medical,

48:13

any coherent medical standard.

48:16

So if you're saying that, well, we should make it,

48:19

we should never make that illegal for adults, are you saying there should

48:21

be no legal standards for

48:23

the medical industry? Is that really what you think?

48:27

Because if you think that it should be legal to do this to anyone,

48:29

what you're saying is that we

48:31

cannot impose any coherent standards

48:34

on the medical industry at all. Because

48:36

if there are any standards,

48:38

starting with what's supposed to be the overarching kind of philosophical

48:40

standard of do no harm, I think that

48:42

that should be something that we legally

48:45

enforce in the medical industry. You don't harm people.

48:48

That's the one thing you never do. You never intentionally

48:51

harm people.

48:54

And this quote unquote gender transition

48:56

surgery is intentional harm being

48:59

inflicted on people who are confused.

49:03

Clearly it should not be legal.

49:06

All right, let's get to the comment section.

50:08

A man says the concerning part

50:10

is that as an ordinary person, you never think that

50:12

these people are serious. You always think this is just

50:14

surface-based monologue and that they wouldn't turn

50:17

it into a real threat to your

50:19

life. However, the past five or so years and

50:21

more, especially recent times, it's evident

50:23

that these people genuinely wish harm

50:25

to you.

50:26

Stay safe.

50:29

Yeah, I think, well, listen,

50:32

we're talking on an individual basis. The

50:36

average person who will

50:39

send you a death threat, for example,

50:42

they're not serious. They're just saying

50:44

it. They're hiding behind their computer

50:46

in their mom's basement, all the cliches.

50:49

Very often, that's actually true. And

50:53

they're not going to do anything. It's just a lot of bluster.

50:57

So that's on an individual basis, that's correct.

50:59

But

51:01

generally, the left

51:03

generally, they

51:05

are serious. If

51:08

you oppose them, you

51:10

basically have, as far as they're concerned,

51:13

you have no right to anything. You

51:15

have no right to express yourself.

51:17

You have no right to a platform. You have no right to be

51:19

heard.

51:21

And also, you have

51:23

no right to live. I mean, they really do believe

51:25

that. That

51:28

is a, I know we don't want to

51:30

accept this

51:32

because of what it says about so many

51:34

of our fellow Americans,

51:37

but it is actually the case that for many people

51:39

on the left,

51:40

if you oppose them, especially

51:42

on these kind of issues

51:44

related to gender and sexuality, the things

51:47

that are closest to them, the

51:49

most important parts of the leftist religion, if you oppose

51:52

them on that, they honestly, many

51:54

of them think that

51:55

your life is

51:57

meaningless. There's nothing

51:59

that could happen.

51:59

happened to you that would be tragic,

52:02

that would be undeserved. Ashley

52:06

says, I find it so disgusting that someone hacked Matt's information

52:08

and now has access to private photos of his family. DMs

52:10

are one thing, but having access to his family's photos

52:12

and information is so much worse. That

52:15

was the thing that's the most upsetting is,

52:18

you know, I know that it's

52:20

like when they got into my Twitter and there's a

52:22

lot of people on the left, oh, I got to see the DMs. But

52:25

the DMs out there, because they're expecting, you know,

52:27

they're expecting that they just assume

52:30

that there must be all kinds of scandalous

52:32

stuff in the DMs. There just isn't at all

52:36

because

52:37

that's just, I'm

52:39

just a normal boring guy. Like

52:42

in reality and in my personal life, that is actually

52:44

who I am. So the dad

52:47

in a flannel, that's not a put on, it's

52:49

not a character, just who I am.

52:52

But the most upsetting thing, yeah, it's just private

52:57

photos of my kids, just, you know, things

52:59

like that, just private, my private

53:01

life. And

53:06

that is certainly the thing

53:09

that makes you feel sort of, that's the

53:11

greatest violation in a situation like this. But

53:14

as I said yesterday, you know, I also, and

53:16

I've thought about this a lot over the last several

53:18

days,

53:19

the fact that

53:21

because of the position I'm in, you

53:24

know, the fact that I had a team around me and

53:26

we were able to respond to this so quickly and get

53:28

a hold of the right people and, you know, try to put

53:30

out all the fires.

53:32

I'm grateful

53:34

for that. And I do think a lot about what happens

53:36

if this happens to you. People get hacked all the time,

53:38

they have identity stolen. If

53:41

you don't have those kinds of resources, what do you

53:43

do? Like I said yesterday, you're stuck calling

53:45

1-800 numbers.

53:47

It's even more of a nightmare. I

53:49

can't imagine it. Now, of course,

53:51

if I wasn't in a position that I'm in, I wouldn't

53:53

have been a target in this particular case.

53:55

But it still happens to people,

53:57

even if they're not on profile, obviously. Miles

54:02

says, if there was ever a push to get me to become a Daily Wire

54:04

Plus subscriber, this is it. I'm with

54:06

you till the end, Matt. Well, I appreciate that.

54:09

Miles. Holly says, if we all donate a dollar

54:11

a month for Matt's show, we could keep him, his family,

54:13

and Daily Wire taken care of,

54:16

making the money needed to continue our fight.

54:19

Instead of sending death threats like

54:21

the demonic heathen, someone start a fund, please, and

54:23

I will donate the first one dollar. No, please don't start

54:25

a fund. I don't need you. I don't need any.

54:28

I appreciate it. I really do. It is

54:30

very meaningful. But I don't

54:32

need any GoFundMe. I don't need any charity

54:34

work. Trust me on that.

54:36

However, I don't want charity,

54:39

but

54:40

I would like

54:43

you to invest

54:45

in something and get something in return, which is a Daily

54:47

Wire subscription. That's

54:49

not charity work. We have

54:51

something and you purchase it, and

54:54

you're supporting the work that we do, but you're

54:56

also getting something

54:58

valuable in return. So if

55:00

you're looking to invest your money that way, then that

55:02

would be my suggestion.

55:05

Despite the lackluster economy, or maybe

55:07

because of it, the Daily Wire is thriving. Not

55:09

only that, we are hiring. The Daily Wire

55:11

is looking to add another social media content

55:13

coordinator to our fast-growing social media team. If

55:15

you follow the Daily Wire on social media, you've surely

55:17

seen the work of our skilled content coordinators.

55:20

If you have experience in social media marketing or content

55:23

coordination, specifically with TikTok and YouTube,

55:25

we want to hear from you. Position is based in Nashville,

55:27

Tennessee. For more information and to apply, visit dailywire.com

55:32

slash careers today. Now let's get to our daily

55:35

cancellation.

55:37

The

55:40

daily cancellation, as you know, is like an onion,

55:42

partly because it is acidic and obnoxious,

55:44

but also because it has layers. Sometimes

55:46

a person is initially canceled for one reason,

55:49

but when we look closer, we see whole

55:51

new reasons to cancel them. And that brings

55:53

us to this viral video of a

55:55

black man at a restaurant in Georgia accusing

55:58

a white man of racism.

55:59

for telling him, the black man, to

56:02

turn his phone down. Apparently,

56:04

this alleged racism victim

56:06

was playing something loudly on his phone at a

56:08

restaurant, but the bad guy

56:10

is the other patron who asked him to

56:12

lower the volume a bit.

56:14

Here it is, watch. Racism

56:17

is still real in Georgia. I can't believe

56:19

Bob tried me like that. What was it that you said you

56:22

wanted to do my dinner? What was it that you was asking

56:24

me before you interrupted me

56:26

on my dinner? Because

56:30

I turned it all the way down for you. I

56:32

appreciate it. Okay, but what was it that you was

56:34

asking me? Is

56:37

there a reason why you were asking me to turn my

56:39

phone down when there's a band playing music

56:41

that I don't give a **** about hearing? Do

56:44

you think it's appropriate for you to ask me, a

56:47

33-year-old, a black man, to turn his ****

56:49

phone down? That's a bad vibe.

56:51

You shouldn't say a **** thing to me. That's

56:54

a bad vibe. My

56:57

hand shouldn't be shaking while eating my **** **** chicken. Now

57:01

what you better do is talk with you to do over

57:03

there and leave your **** alone. You

57:11

gonna ask another black man to turn his **** phone down no

57:13

time slow again. Now,

57:15

so many questions immediately present

57:17

themselves, but the first and most important

57:19

one is why this man is using his knife upside down.

57:22

He's holding it by the blade and moving the food around

57:24

on his plate with the handle. That's

57:26

the reason enough to kick him out of the rack and ban him

57:28

from ever eating food in public ever again. I'm also wondering

57:30

what other basic motor skills, you

57:35

know,

57:35

is he yet to master?

57:37

Does he brush his teeth by jabbing himself in the eye with

57:39

the toothbrush? Does he put on his pants by, I don't know, eating

57:41

them? How do you get

57:43

to the age of 33 without ever learning how

57:46

to use eating utensils? I was gonna

57:48

ask if he knows how to tie his shoes, but I think

57:50

we can assume that they're probably Velcro. But let's not get hung up on these details.

57:53

As I said, this is a cancellation onion, and we

57:55

have a lot of questions. This is a cancellation

57:57

onion, and we have only seen the first layer. The next

57:59

layer. is the most obvious

58:02

one. Here's yet another person

58:05

who has been conditioned to view everything

58:07

through the lens of victimhood. And in this guy's

58:09

mind, the only reason why anyone would ask

58:11

him to turn his phone down is because they're

58:14

racist. This kind of conditioning

58:16

for many people in modern society has become

58:18

as deeply ingrained, and in many

58:20

ways has supplanted, I think, what

58:22

psychologists have called agency

58:24

detection.

58:25

Okay, and I'm gonna take a little detour here, so stay

58:27

with me.

58:29

Agency detection is supposed to be an instinct

58:31

or inclination developed in all sentient beings,

58:34

including humans,

58:35

to assume that there is conscious

58:38

agency

58:40

behind things that we observe around us, even

58:42

when there isn't one. So for example,

58:45

classic example, when you hear the floorboards

58:48

creaking at night, if you're sleeping in an old house

58:50

or something, and you assume that there's an

58:52

axe murderer out in the hallway about to kill you.

58:54

That is agency detection. There's no axe

58:57

murderer,

58:58

unless there actually is an axe murderer. I mean, there could be. But

59:00

if there isn't, you invented the story

59:02

of a conscious and usually nefarious agent

59:05

who's caused an event to

59:07

happen that was really just the house settling

59:09

and making sounds, the kind of sounds that houses

59:11

make. Some psychologists have extended

59:13

this idea out, and they've come up with a theory called

59:16

hyperactive agency detection, which

59:18

is when someone is constantly and falsely

59:20

attributing agency where there isn't any

59:22

at all. As you might expect,

59:25

this theory has been used erroneously and

59:27

absurdly

59:28

to explain away the development of religion.

59:30

In fact, that's why they came up with this, as

59:34

a way of explaining the quote unquote evolution of religion.

59:37

Anyway, here's my point.

59:39

I would like to borrow from this concept and

59:41

coin a new term,

59:43

hyperactive racism detection. A

59:45

person with this mental affliction is

59:47

prone to detect racism in every

59:50

negative experience. He hears the floorboards creaking

59:52

at night and assumes it's not only an axe murderer,

59:54

but a racist axe murderer. And if you tell him

59:56

that there is no axe murderer, that it's just the house

59:58

settling,

59:59

house is racist.

1:00:01

Every bad thing is racist. No other explanation

1:00:04

is even entertained. The

1:00:06

only thing that isn't racist in the mind of the person

1:00:08

suffering from HRD is the

1:00:10

person himself. Everyone else's actions

1:00:13

can be explained by racism, but never his

1:00:15

own. And this is in spite of the fact that he is almost

1:00:17

always the most racist person in the

1:00:19

room, and very often the only racist

1:00:21

person in the room. The person with hyperactive

1:00:24

racism detection can detect racism everywhere,

1:00:27

except in the places where it actually is,

1:00:30

like in his own heart, for example.

1:00:32

In an alternate universe, there might be psychologists,

1:00:34

there would be psychologists writing papers about hyperactive

1:00:37

racism detection, probably prescribing drugs

1:00:39

to fix it. I'm not really in favor

1:00:41

of the medicalization of every human character flaw, so

1:00:43

I wouldn't actually want that to happen, but it is an interesting

1:00:46

thought anyway.

1:00:48

But there's another layer underneath this one.

1:00:50

This man is canceled

1:00:53

because of how he holds his eating utensils, and

1:00:56

he's canceled because he's obsessed with finding racism

1:00:58

everywhere.

1:00:59

He's also canceled because he was playing something

1:01:01

on his phone loudly in

1:01:03

public.

1:01:04

This is the most egregious offense of all,

1:01:06

by far. Somehow even worse than holding

1:01:08

your knife upside down. At

1:01:11

least this guy is the only human on the face of

1:01:13

the earth who uses his knife like that, but

1:01:15

he's certainly not even close to the only

1:01:17

person who uses his phone like that. This has become

1:01:19

an epidemic. I

1:01:21

see this everywhere. Everywhere I go, there are people on

1:01:24

speakerphone, at FaceTime. I

1:01:26

was just at the airport the other day, and there was someone standing

1:01:28

next to me on FaceTime,

1:01:31

having a conversation with some person. We

1:01:33

could all hear it. People

1:01:35

are listening to music. They're playing videos all

1:01:38

out in the open for everyone to hear. So

1:01:41

I want to make this very clear. Okay, this

1:01:43

is the rule. I should never

1:01:45

have to hear any sound

1:01:48

that your phone makes. I

1:01:50

never want to hear any sound that it makes.

1:01:53

It's actually, I

1:01:54

have this rule for phones and for dogs.

1:01:57

Those two things, I don't want, I never want to hear, you

1:01:59

can have it.

1:02:00

That's fine. I don't want to hear any sounds from it

1:02:03

ever. There is zero tolerance for any

1:02:05

sounds being emitted from

1:02:07

your dog or a phone if I'm if I'm anywhere

1:02:10

in earshot.

1:02:11

I don't want to hear the conversations you're having on your

1:02:13

phone. I don't want to hear the crappy music you're

1:02:15

listening to on your phone. I don't want to hear the

1:02:17

videos you're watching on your phone unless

1:02:19

you're watching one of my videos, in which case exceptions can

1:02:21

be made.

1:02:22

God made earbuds for a reason and

1:02:24

if you don't have earbuds, that's your

1:02:26

problem. Use subtitles. I don't know. I don't

1:02:28

care.

1:02:29

Just as long as I never have to hear any sounds

1:02:32

emitting from that little box you carry around in your

1:02:34

pocket or better yet, if you're sitting

1:02:36

at a restaurant and

1:02:39

you're alone. Nothing wrong with that, by the way.

1:02:41

I'm a big proponent of, you know, eating a lot of restaurant

1:02:43

can be very therapeutic. But

1:02:46

if you find yourself in that situation and

1:02:49

you don't have earphones and there's

1:02:51

no way to listen to something or watch something on your

1:02:53

phone without being a monumental jerk to everyone

1:02:55

around you, well,

1:02:57

have you considered the possibility that you don't

1:02:59

need to be on your phone at all?

1:03:02

Have you thought about just

1:03:04

sitting there? Have you considered

1:03:08

sitting there and eating and

1:03:10

not doing anything else but those

1:03:12

two things? Like this

1:03:15

is something, I mean,

1:03:17

I think for a lot of people in modern society, they've never done this.

1:03:19

Have you ever just sat somewhere

1:03:21

and all you're doing is sitting? You're not doing anything.

1:03:23

You're not looking at anything. You're not listening

1:03:25

to anything. You're just sitting. This

1:03:29

is, you know, a lot of people in modern

1:03:31

society can't believe this, but this is like a normal occurrence

1:03:34

for people all

1:03:37

throughout human history up until right now. There

1:03:40

would be many occasions where you're just sort of like sitting

1:03:43

somewhere and you're not doing anything else.

1:03:45

And so then you're thinking.

1:03:48

And that's the benefit. You can actually develop

1:03:50

your own thoughts.

1:03:53

So I would suggest that.

1:03:54

Maybe try not injecting noises

1:03:57

and images and content into your skull every single day.

1:03:59

second of every day.

1:04:02

Have you considered just allowing yourself to

1:04:04

be with your own thoughts for maybe three

1:04:08

minutes at a time to start?

1:04:11

I suppose you can't be with your thoughts until you develop the

1:04:13

ability to have thoughts, but you can't

1:04:15

do that unless you take a break from your phone.

1:04:18

Who knows?

1:04:20

You might even become smart enough to

1:04:22

properly use a knife. Anything is possible.

1:04:25

But for now, the Guy in that video is

1:04:28

canceled. I'll do it for the show today. Talk to

1:04:30

you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.

1:04:32
