Matt Walsh. On Monday,

2:45

prosecutors in Arizona decided not to retry

2:47

George Allen Kelly after his prosecution resulted

2:49

in a hung jury. Last we'd tell

2:52

you may remember is the Arizona Rancher

2:54

who was accused of shooting and killing

2:56

a Mexican national named Gabriel to win

2:58

or boot a mile who was illegally

3:01

trespassing on his property. Deborah had previously

3:03

been caught illegally United States several times

3:05

before his death. He. Was most

3:07

recently departed into a sixteen. As

3:09

a strong got underway, I defended Kelly based

3:12

on a pretty simple principle which has that

3:14

American citizens have a right. To. Defend

3:16

their property and their families and them Says.

3:19

That's all really needed to say or know about. This

3:21

gets like that, that should. That should be at. Those.

3:24

Men had no right to be on his

3:26

property, and I this case, they didn't even

3:28

have the right to be in this country,

3:31

let alone on his property. And so it's

3:33

an egregious miscarriage of justice to prosecute a

3:35

man for defending his property from a invaders

3:37

invaders who are it's illegal to times over.

3:40

But. As weren't wearing you know any

3:42

new like enough to know that this is

3:44

a a total miscarriage of justice By have

3:47

to admit that. Until I

3:49

looked more closely into the trial I

3:51

had. No. Idea exactly how

3:54

outrageous this prosecution was.

3:56

I. Didn't fully understand the extent of

3:58

the depravity that motivate. These prosecutors to

4:00

try to ruin the life alright of a

4:03

rancher in his seventies because he exercised his

4:05

right of self defense. So. However

4:07

unjust you think this case is, it's

4:09

It's even worse than that. I.

4:12

Thought plan a moment At trial.

4:14

The prosecution couldn't even prove that

4:16

Kelly was responsible for killing Gabriel.

4:19

Oh, in other words, it's not just

4:21

that the prosecution failed to disprove self

4:23

defense beyond a reasonable doubt, which is

4:25

their burden. The. Prosecution also failed

4:27

to prove that Kelly had committed any form

4:30

of homicide at all. Apparently

4:32

a single low a juror is the only

4:34

reason the George Allen Kelly wasn't acquitted outright.

4:36

And after you hear what happened in this

4:38

case, the idea that even one guy on

4:41

the jersey. Or. Member of the jury

4:43

want to convict at all is truly

4:45

unbelievable. So. Let's. Begin with

4:47

the prosecution's opening statement. This

4:50

is where the state have the

4:52

opportunity to tease if star witness

4:54

a hundred and national been named

4:56

Daniel Ramirez. Supposedly Ramirez who was

4:58

also illegally on tell his property

5:00

or witnessed Kelly murder Gabriel in

5:02

cold blood. And Ramirez

5:04

his testimony. The prosecutor suggested.

5:07

Would. Be air tight like

5:09

conclusive. A

5:28

real oh. Oh.

5:54

S. So.

5:56

That's a prosecutor promise as that's a pretty.

5:59

Pretty. ah of high bar. Gabriel's

6:01

companion, quote unquote, not his

6:03

criminal accomplice, but his command

6:05

companion. The prosecutor says, Saul

6:08

Gabriel gets shot in the back because

6:10

this maniac rancher was shooting wildly at

6:12

them. And she says that is

6:14

the state versus George Allen Kelly in a nutshell.

6:18

And well, that turned out to be true, although

6:20

not in the way that the prosecutor intended. So

6:23

behold the testimony of star

6:25

witness, Daniel Ramirez here. And

6:29

so you told investigators in the

6:31

case that you knew someone who

6:33

recognized someone who was in the

6:35

group and that was this person

6:38

in Ramon's way. Where

6:40

I think the point is,

6:42

I don't know if you know what it is. I'm

6:44

going to be here and I'm going to be here

6:46

and I'm going to be here for a while. I'm

6:48

not going to be here anymore. I'm going to be

6:50

here, I'm going to be here. I'm going to

6:52

be here, I'm going to be here. Who?

6:56

The makeup boy was from which he

6:58

was a guy that

7:01

had a conversation with his spectators

7:03

and that was a person who accompanied

7:05

you in this group. His

7:08

name was Ramon and that

7:10

person was with you. You testified to

7:12

that before lunch. Do you remember that testimony?

7:47

I mean, it's painful to listen to. It's like

7:50

she's questioning a brick wall, basically. The guy just

7:52

sits there staring with a glazed expression.

7:54

He doesn't even blink, I notice. He's

7:58

just like, doesn't appear to be even fully conscious. conscious.

8:01

But through the translator, we learn that

8:03

Ramirez can't remember much of anything, including

8:05

what he said under oath during the

8:07

trial, right before the lunch break.

8:10

This is the companion, quote unquote, who

8:13

was supposed to convince us that he remembers everything

8:15

about the day that George Kelly murdered his buddy

8:17

for no reason out of the blue. Now,

8:20

I'm not going to show you all

8:22

the testimony because, you know, it's just too long,

8:24

but also it's just excruciating excruciating to listen to.

8:27

Suffice it to say, there were so

8:29

many inconsistencies with what Ramirez said that

8:32

he was worse and useless as a witness.

8:36

And remember, this is their whole case in

8:38

a nutshell, is this guy. The prosecutor said

8:40

that. For example,

8:42

Ramirez testified that he was with Gabriel just a

8:44

few meters away from the house when the shooting

8:47

happened, but the body was found more

8:49

than 100 yards away from the house.

8:51

And additionally, Ramirez said that the shots went

8:53

towards the house, which makes no sense. And

8:56

when he spoke to police, Ramirez first said

8:58

the shooting occurred west of Nogales, uh,

9:00

only to change his mind when he was told where

9:02

the rancher actually lived. And on top of all that,

9:05

Ramirez insisted that he saw his companion

9:07

fall backward, but the body was discovered

9:09

face down. Oh, and Ramirez

9:11

happens to be a drug smuggler, although

9:14

he initially lied about that as well, of course. And

9:16

he's been caught trying to illegally enter this country

9:18

between eight and 10 times. Now,

9:21

if you want to give the prosecution a benefit of

9:23

the doubt for some reason, you

9:26

might discount all of that. You might say

9:28

that, well, this was

9:31

one unreliable, unreliable witness. And

9:33

sure, it's their star witness. The one they said that their

9:35

whole case, their whole case in a nutshell is this guy,

9:37

but, but you know, surely the rest of their case was

9:39

solid, but actually the fact that

9:41

their star witness has the memory of a

9:43

goldfish was just the beginning of

9:46

the state's problems. The larger issue was

9:48

that under the prosecution's theory of the case, none

9:50

of George Allen Kelly's actions on the day of

9:53

the shooting made any sense whatsoever under their theory

9:55

of the case. So here's the timeline. In

9:58

early January, 2023, a border patrol agent

10:00

and liaison who frequently speaks to ranchers

10:02

in the area advised Kelly by text

10:04

message several times that illegal aliens

10:06

were traveling through the area in large

10:08

groups. Quote, some

10:10

may have had narcotics, the agent texted the

10:13

Kelly. That's what he told them. And

10:15

these kinds of texts continued throughout the month. And then on

10:18

January 30th, several illegals

10:20

were spotted by border patrol in the

10:22

desert of Kino Springs, Arizona, and they

10:24

fled. At least two of

10:26

them ended up on Kelly's ranch, at which point,

10:28

as he was making lunch, Kelly says he heard

10:30

a gunshot. So he calls the

10:32

police who rushes outside, he fires several warning shots

10:34

from his right to scare them

10:37

away to warn them. Kelly insists that

10:39

the police come to his property. They

10:41

conduct a full sweep, they're mistakenly looking for

10:43

an active shooter at this point, and

10:46

they don't find anything. And then hours

10:48

later, Kelly finds the body himself calls

10:50

911 voluntarily to report it. He

10:52

doesn't hide any shell casings. He doesn't bury

10:54

the body on his 170 acre property as

10:56

he could and would have if this was

10:58

a murder. He immediately

11:00

reports it. That's what he does. And

11:03

that's, again, not exactly consistent with the theory

11:05

that Kelly is a murderer who just shot

11:07

somebody in cold blood. Normally, murderers don't

11:09

call the police and tell them to come search

11:11

their remote property so they can find the body.

11:14

And then if police miss the body, murderers

11:16

don't call the cops again to

11:18

inform them that they missed it and invite them

11:20

back onto their remote

11:22

property again. That's not normally

11:24

how murderers operate. But

11:27

that's the prosecution's theory here. The

11:30

police came back to the ranch and decided very quickly

11:32

that Kelly must have killed Gabriel, even

11:34

though they couldn't find the fatal

11:36

bullet anywhere. Now, this isn't exactly solid

11:38

logic. So instead of explaining it, the

11:40

prosecution spent the rest of their opening statement lying

11:43

about the 911 call about

11:45

the body. Listen. This

11:48

is a photograph of Gabriel's friend, Lucian, there.

11:50

And I'm

11:52

going to ask you to do something in his case that

11:55

George Allen Kelly's own words told you that

11:57

he did not. to

12:00

consider Gabriel's presence with

12:03

the man as a person,

12:06

as a human being, and

12:08

not a source of time to trust him as

12:11

a woman. So

12:14

he says that Kelly called the

12:16

guy an animal, which

12:19

sounds bad, I guess, is how the jury's

12:21

supposed to see that. Supposedly

12:23

when Kelly was calling 911 to report

12:26

that he had found a dead body, he called the man

12:28

an animal. The implication, of course,

12:30

is that he's, I guess, a bigoted MAGA

12:32

Republican, one of those dastardly folks who thinks

12:34

that everybody from Mexico isn't human. The

12:37

problem with this argument is that even if Kelly had

12:39

called Gabriel an animal, it

12:42

would, first of all, be an understandable thing to

12:44

say based solely on his actions. This

12:46

guy was a criminal, a repeat offender who

12:49

continually and illegally trespassed onto the

12:51

his product into the country and then onto his property

12:53

in this case. And so

12:55

it would be understandable if Kelly was angry

12:57

and used unkind words to describe

12:59

the dead intruder. But even if it's

13:02

not, it doesn't prove that he was guilty of

13:04

felony homicide. Even if he said something really terrible

13:06

about this guy after the fact, it doesn't prove

13:08

anything at all. It doesn't prove that he's guilty,

13:10

it doesn't prove anything. But

13:12

if you listen to the full 911 tape, you

13:14

discover that actually Kelly

13:16

wasn't calling this guy an animal because of

13:18

his actions or because of his nationality or

13:21

ethnicity or anything like that. What

13:23

happened is that Kelly very clearly didn't want to

13:25

provide any more statements to the police than he

13:27

needed to. He had a vague idea, which would

13:29

later seem to be very correct,

13:32

that the police would seek to use everything he said

13:34

against him. So he didn't want to be specific. He

13:36

just wanted an officer to be dispatched to his property.

13:39

So this is a longer clip than we would

13:41

normally play. But it's important to get the context,

13:43

understand how deranged the prosecutor's

13:45

lies were. Listen. What

13:48

I'm telling you is that we

13:52

need a sheriff's

13:54

deputy out here, one on a little

13:56

cross circle. He needs, and that's all

13:58

I can say. say ma'am. Okay,

14:01

is that your one, ma'am? I

14:05

just had a question about the other side, I just had a

14:07

number of those jokes. There's no,

14:10

there's no. Okay,

14:13

do you see what the situation is?

14:15

Do you see any other people? Well,

14:19

in other

14:23

words, okay, you know, you

14:26

have a lot of men, you

14:28

know, you have a lot of men saw it and who said

14:31

he can't. I don't know. He's

14:33

taken care of it, he's in all the groups. I'm

14:35

not, I'm not, as many days as I've been,

14:37

but there are all those things

14:39

that he's been had up in, I don't know what happened.

14:42

Somebody right here, last spring

14:46

out here, there

14:48

was a pickup sound on

14:50

East April with

14:53

a dead lady in it. Uh-huh. I

14:56

don't know if you knew that or not. Uh-huh.

14:58

Okay, I'm going to what happened. Okay,

15:01

is the situation similar to that, how's

15:03

that? It's a, it's a,

15:05

it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a, it's a,

15:09

is it disposed? Yes. What does

15:11

that mean? Uh, it's

15:13

been there for a while, can you tell? Uh,

15:16

from, from what, in that,

15:19

in that I only approached the

15:21

body to make sure that the

15:23

animal, how do you call it

15:25

a vegetable or a mineral, the animal wasn't

15:27

alive and it was not alive. Okay.

15:30

There were no signs, there

15:32

was no signs of blood,

15:35

uh, there was

15:37

just a, uh, an animal laying

15:40

face down. An

15:42

animal? An animal,

15:44

and you know what an animal is, it's not a vegetable

15:46

or a mineral. Okay.

15:51

It's a body and you know what I'm talking about. So, um,

15:53

it's kind of a strange call to listen to.

15:59

There's no doubt about it. But it's clear

16:01

from that audio that Kelly is not making

16:03

any kind of commentary on the person he

16:05

just shot He's not saying illegals are animals

16:07

or whatever The way

16:10

the prosecutor put it in the opening statement makes it

16:12

sound like he shot this animal is

16:14

dirty Mexican Whatever that's that's what they want you

16:16

to conjure in your mind But

16:18

that's not what he's saying nor is he trying

16:20

to hide that there's a dead human body on the

16:22

property He called about he's trying to get somebody out

16:24

there Instead he's trying albeit clumsily

16:27

to get police to the property while not admitting

16:29

anything that in his mind might incriminate him He's

16:31

not trying he doesn't want to say much in

16:34

an I want call knowing that it's being recorded We can

16:36

assume that that's part of what what his thinking was And

16:39

so he's just he's just trying to get in fact even

16:41

clarifies that when he says animal he means it like in

16:43

the biological Scientific sense that

16:46

we are animals in that sense. He makes

16:48

that very clear Now,

16:50

of course the prosecution and the media had

16:53

to insinuate otherwise because they know they don't

16:55

have an actual case So they decided it's

16:57

best to just accuse this 70 something year

16:59

old rancher of being a racist

17:01

because of this phone call Now

17:03

there were other low points for the prosecution like how

17:05

they kept claiming that Gabriel was trying to live out

17:08

the American dream Even though

17:10

he showed up on Kelly's property dressed in

17:12

camouflage wearing tactical boots equipped with

17:14

an encrypted two-way radio You

17:17

know like people do when they want to live out the American

17:19

dream and somehow despite that evidence

17:21

The police testified that they never

17:24

considered the possibility that maybe he was a drug smuggler And

17:27

it was all a spectacle But

17:29

maybe the lowest point was prosecutors attempt

17:31

to question Kelly's wife Wanda It

17:33

was important for prosecutors to try to discredit

17:35

Wanda because she testified that she saw the

17:38

trespassers On the property

17:40

with firearms and camo backpacks watch

17:45

that you

17:48

didn't really make it very

17:50

crucial and

17:53

you just needed see that's all

17:56

what hold on

18:00

My husband was out there, punching

18:03

these guys with guns. Can

18:05

you please help us stand there and

18:07

count how many times we get a

18:10

shot? You're crazy!

18:13

Can we have just asking him one piece on

18:15

the floor? I think not two on the floor.

18:17

I told him I saw two. That's all I

18:19

saw. Well, I'm gonna

18:21

shot right now. Oh, that's what I've

18:24

been saying, but he's also a

18:26

liar. But, oh

18:29

no. Is

18:32

that true? This is how they set the

18:34

tools every time y'all. Thank you.

18:37

What was that? It was a mirror.

18:40

I don't remember talking to you. That's what I think,

18:42

so I don't know when you're ever telling them, or

18:44

shots. So

18:47

here the prosecutors are trying to do to

18:49

Wanda what the defense attorneys did to Ramirez,

18:51

except it doesn't work, because Ramirez can't remember

18:54

what he said before lunch that day. He

18:57

can't remember where the crime scene was. He

18:59

can't remember what direction the shots came from,

19:01

or what happened to his quote-unquote companion after

19:03

he was hit. By contrast,

19:05

Wanda couldn't recall the precise number

19:07

of gunshots that she heard during

19:10

a moment of extreme stress. This is an

19:12

elderly woman, and there's gunshots going

19:14

off, and she can't remember the exact number. Wow.

19:19

So this is supposedly the prosecution's got-you moment.

19:22

Now, the point was apparently to distract from the

19:24

fact that the prosecution doesn't actually have any evidence

19:26

that Kelly even killed Gabriel, because they

19:28

never recovered a bullet. They couldn't

19:31

do any ballistics matching to determine who's gunfire

19:33

the fatal shot, because they didn't have the

19:35

evidence. For all the authorities

19:37

knew, Gabriel could have been shot

19:39

somewhere off-site and dragged to the ranch. He

19:41

could have been shot on-site by somebody else.

19:44

You know, maybe that was the bullet that Kelly says

19:46

he heard. The prosecution

19:48

has no definitive answer to any of that. Their

19:51

entire case hinges instead on an elderly couple

19:54

not recalling the precise amount of warning shots

19:56

that were fired. Now,

19:58

did you- hear about any of these

20:01

details? Probably not. I hadn't heard some

20:03

of these details either. And the reason I decided

20:05

to do a deeper dive into this case is that I

20:08

saw a thread from an account on

20:10

Twitter called Rosie Memos, and she

20:12

unearthed several incredible videos, including this

20:14

footage of the sheriff in Santa Cruz

20:16

County falsely accusing Kelly of being an

20:18

outsider and an extremist who wanted

20:20

to, quote, hunt me some Mexicans. Watch.

20:25

What about those vigilante groups? Are they

20:27

out here? There are people

20:30

that will come to the border thinking they're going to find

20:32

some action. Like we had a rancher here that

20:35

had been writing fan fiction

20:37

on Amazon and he

20:39

was describing himself hunting

20:41

migrants with his

20:44

AK-47. And he actually even

20:46

used his own name and his wife's name

20:48

and his ranch's name. And he came from

20:50

somewhere else. And then we

20:53

caught him out there actually shooting

20:55

at some people out there shooting at some migrants.

20:58

Wow. Killed one of them. And one of them

21:00

got away. So now he's being

21:02

prosecuted for homicide in

21:04

the county. So that's an example of a guy with

21:07

that mentality. They come out here and they want to

21:09

say, I'm out here in the wild west and they

21:11

want to have a big tough story to tell. I'm

21:13

going to go out there and hunt me some Mexicans,

21:16

you know, and that appeals

21:18

to some people. But it's not a common

21:20

thing. It's like, I mean, you would just

21:22

be driving around. He's an extremist. Yeah.

21:26

Now, the sheriff is lying about

21:28

the contents of Kelly's book, for one thing. It's

21:30

not about hunting Mexicans. It's about a rancher who

21:32

fights drug cartels. And that's not a crazy topic

21:35

to write about when you're constantly hearing from Border

21:37

Patrol that Jane cartels are running through your property.

21:39

And of course, Kelly isn't an

21:41

outsider. She lived on that property for more than a decade.

21:44

Now, by the way, that

21:46

gives you a sense of how completely one sided

21:48

this whole prosecution was. They decided

21:50

to make an example of George Kelly and they didn't

21:53

bother with building a real case. In

21:55

fact, the authorities didn't do any real forensic work whatsoever.

21:57

As I mentioned, they didn't find the bullet. They

22:00

also never found any gunshot residue and never

22:02

tested the back fact that the trespassers were

22:04

carrying for any gunshot residue either and You

22:07

know, if you watch the trial in the various interviews You'll

22:09

notice that the police decided very

22:11

quickly that they were going to charge george kelly

22:14

Their strategy was to interview kelly and his wife multiple times

22:16

get them to say as much as possible And

22:19

then use any contradiction however minor As

22:21

there always will be some contradiction when you're telling the

22:23

same story over and over again to different people especially

22:25

when you're under in a moment of stress And

22:28

they want to use all that as proof that kelly is a

22:30

murderer If you need to

22:32

get more reason to never talk to the police

22:34

unless it's absolutely necessary. Well, this is it Now

22:38

even though kelly is is now free to go back to

22:40

his life The fact remains that the government tried to send

22:42

this elderly man to prison for a

22:45

quote unquote crime that Even

22:47

if he had quote unquote committed He

22:50

would have been justified in doing so In

22:53

in the name of self-defense and defending his property

22:56

And yet there is no direct evidence that he even did

22:58

commit it There's no

23:00

way to explain why this prosecution occurred

23:02

unless you understand that the state wants

23:04

us to be helpless demoralized and vulnerable

23:07

They are intentionally flooding our country with criminals

23:09

and then punishing us If we

23:11

do anything to protect ourselves from the wave

23:14

of criminality that they have invited into our

23:16

lives and onto our properties Now

23:18

they're going after just about anybody who has the audacity

23:20

to take any steps to protect themselves They

23:23

want to terminate the right of self-defense in addition to

23:25

your property rights That's what's going on

23:28

in its heinous And

23:30

somehow even more terrifying judging by the fact

23:32

that a juror somehow wanted to convict kelly

23:34

on those facts Is that

23:36

more and more people seem to be fine with

23:39

it? Now let's get

23:41

to our five headlines I'm

23:48

in the chaos of my daily life. I

23:50

find solace in my helix mattress. It's not

23:52

23:54

me for the challenges of the next day

23:56

24:43

24:45

24:47

sleep starts now. There's

24:50

a report from Breitbart. Anti-Israel protesters

24:52

involved in an encampment at Columbia

24:54

University took over an administrative building

24:56

early on Tuesday morning. Video footage

24:58

posted to X showed anti-Israel protesters

25:01

carrying barricades into Hamilton Hall an academic

25:03

building on the university's campus and

25:05

its telegram channel within our lifetime. Palestine

25:09

posted an announcement

25:11

calling for protection of the anti-Israel encampment

25:13

on the campus. The group

25:15

wrote student organizers have called on

25:17

everyone to come to Columbia tonight and

25:19

defend the encampment after administrators threats this

25:21

morning. Other videos posted to X showed anti-Israel

25:24

protesters smashing the glass doors of Hamilton Hall

25:27

as people can be heard chanting disclose divest

25:29

we will not stop we will not rest.

25:34

So they've invaded the building and

25:36

that's that's the next step. You

25:40

know this is tough for me because I

25:42

feel very conflicted. On

25:45

the one hand these people are

25:47

not protesters at

25:49

this point and

25:52

they're breaking the law. They've set up multiple illegal

25:54

encampments. They set up an illegal encampment. It was

25:56

taken down. They set up another one. They're

26:01

vandalizing property. They're trespassing. They're

26:03

invading private buildings where they don't belong

26:05

and they have no right to be. These

26:08

are spoiled, entitled Ivy League rich kid

26:10

brats who deserve to be locked up

26:12

in prison and have their college careers

26:15

and their future careers destroyed because of

26:17

it. That's what they deserve.

26:19

These are people who have never been held accountable in their lives

26:23

for anything and they

26:25

need to be. I would

26:27

take immense joy in seeing

26:29

them held accountable because that would be justice

26:32

and I quite enjoy justice. I

26:35

find it very pleasing on

26:37

the rare occasion that it actually happens. So

26:39

that would be great to watch and it's what they deserve. And

26:42

moreover, they're

26:44

fashioning themselves as radicals and revolutionaries. But

26:46

as I said yesterday, they

26:48

aren't. They can't be because they share the

26:51

ideology and worldview of the powers that be

26:53

in our culture. They share

26:55

that they are

26:57

proponents of and disciples of the

26:59

dominant ideology in our culture, which means that

27:01

you can't be a radical,

27:04

you can't be revolutionary. They are

27:06

fully products of our cultural institutions.

27:09

They are. It's it's it's henchmen.

27:12

It's brainwashed sheep. And

27:15

now they're pretending to protest and

27:18

stand up against the man or

27:20

whatever only because the man

27:22

has given them this little space here

27:24

to play pretend like

27:26

the man is standing by and watching and patting

27:29

their heads and saying, oh, very good.

27:32

Aren't you a aren't you a bunch of cute

27:34

little revolutionaries? I mean, they literally

27:36

have professors on at

27:38

the school are are with them are joining with

27:40

them. So it's like who are you even protesting

27:43

at this point? So

27:46

it's all fake. And I think it'd be

27:48

good for them to be introduced to reality in

27:50

a in a just in a just way. But

27:53

on the other hand, these Ivy

27:55

League institutions are currently destroying themselves.

27:59

And I love to see that. too. So

28:01

if Columbia wants to completely torch its

28:04

credibility, well, then okay. So

28:07

go for it. So

28:11

that's like, on one hand, I'd like to

28:13

see the encampments torn down, police come in,

28:15

arrest them, drag them away, order

28:17

and calm restored. So you'd like to see

28:19

that as someone who's a proponent of

28:21

law and order. I would,

28:24

that's normally what I would want to see. But

28:27

this is happening on Columbia University. Columbia University is

28:29

allowing it to happen. They

28:32

could easily stop it to be very easy

28:34

to do. Very, very simple. Not a hard

28:36

thing. It's not a difficult, it's not a

28:38

difficult quandary they're in. So they could easily

28:40

put a stop to it, but

28:42

they're too afraid to. And so they're

28:44

allowing themselves to be destroyed. And

28:46

I guess if

28:49

that's what they want to do, that's what they want to do. Where does that leave

28:51

us? I guess with the fact

28:53

that there's no one here to root for. And

28:57

that's it. So we'll go ahead. Just

29:00

let them fight. Here's

29:03

a headline from the Daily Mail. This is what they put on

29:05

Twitter. Four

29:07

teenagers, including high school football star aged

29:09

14 to 16 are killed in horror

29:11

crash after cop cruiser used pit maneuver

29:13

to stop them speeding at 111 miles

29:15

an hour as

29:18

horrifying photos show their mangled

29:20

wreckage. Okay. So this

29:22

one went viral yesterday on social media. This is what they're,

29:24

this is what they're

29:26

leading with the Daily Mail is and other media

29:28

outlets. Four teenagers,

29:30

high school football star killed

29:34

because a cop used a pit maneuver. And

29:37

this is all you're meant to read about when it comes

29:39

to this case. And it's

29:41

all that many people did read, which is

29:44

why this story, I mean, well, this,

29:46

this one sentence summation of a

29:49

certain aspect of the story provoked

29:51

a lot of outrage yesterday towards the

29:53

cops. And

29:56

as, as, as it was

29:58

intended to do, of course, but Let's

30:00

do the thing we're not supposed to do, which is

30:02

click on the article. And well, they want you

30:04

to click. They do want the clicks, but they don't want you to actually

30:06

read the whole thing. So

30:08

let's do that. Let's read the whole thing with

30:10

a few paragraphs. Okay. Four

30:14

Florida teenagers have been killed after they were involved in

30:16

a police chase in which officers used a maneuver designed

30:18

to get a car to stop, but caused them to

30:20

spin out of control. The

30:22

four who were between the ages of 14 and

30:24

16 attended Newberry High School in Bradford County. Two

30:27

of the teens in the car died at

30:30

the Waldo area scene while the other two

30:32

passed away from their injuries days after the

30:34

fact that UF Health Shands Hospital in Gainesville,

30:36

Gabrielle Cheavers and Lawrence McClendon Jr. were

30:39

both Newberry High School students. McClendon was

30:41

a sophomore defensive back for the football

30:43

team. The Cline family have set up

30:45

a GoFundMe to help cover funeral expenses. The

30:47

police pursuit began after an SUV was reported to

30:49

have been stolen out of Gainesville. Only

30:52

hours after the theft, the car was detected by a license

30:54

plate reader. They tried to

30:56

stop the car. They sped away 111 miles an hour. Eventually,

30:58

the state troopers were

31:03

called in. Authorities later added

31:05

two of the teens that were killed in

31:07

an SUV were wearing ankle monitors while three

31:10

had active warrants. Some

31:12

of the occupants also appeared to be wearing ski masks.

31:16

Okay, so we

31:18

have, you know, you got to keep reading

31:20

to discover that these kids, these high school

31:22

football stars had stolen a car.

31:25

They were speeding at over 100 miles an hour. They

31:29

were wearing ski masks and

31:31

had ankle monitors. And they

31:34

had three active arrest warrants between them.

31:38

So the cops were not just trying to pull over an

31:40

SUV because it was had a broken

31:42

tail light or something. These were

31:44

delinquents out stealing a car while already

31:46

having a rap sheet despite being no

31:48

older than 16 years old. Now,

31:53

it's very sad that they died. I mean,

31:55

four kids died. It's a very sad thing. Of

31:57

course, it's sad. Anytime a kid dies, it's a terrible. tragedy.

32:01

I wish it hadn't happened. But

32:03

who is to blame here? You know,

32:05

the peanut gallery is blaming the cops. Who is

32:07

really to blame? Well,

32:11

a few different parties we can point to. Unfortunately,

32:13

we have to say that the teenagers themselves are

32:15

first and foremost to blame. I mean, they're the

32:18

ones who engage in this behavior. So

32:21

it starts there like it's, if

32:23

you don't steal a car and go

32:26

speeding 111 miles an hour, this doesn't

32:28

happen. So we've got to

32:30

start there. But I do believe

32:32

that the amount of

32:34

kind of moral guilt that you can assign

32:37

to a teenager is somewhat limited, because

32:40

these are kids and they've got

32:42

underdeveloped brains and as every

32:44

teenager does, they're impulsive, all these

32:46

things. So

32:48

where do you look next for blame? Well, next you look to

32:50

the parents. And I understand

32:53

that sometimes teenage boys can be rowdy, they

32:55

can be trouble makers, they can

32:57

do self destructive things, they can drive way

32:59

too fast in cars. I was

33:02

certainly guilty of that at their age.

33:04

But, you know, if your

33:06

son has an ankle monitor, and

33:08

an arrest warrant, and he's out

33:10

in a ski mask in a stolen car

33:13

involved in a high speed police chase, well,

33:17

then you have failed miserably as

33:19

a parent. I mean, that

33:21

you have to go out of your way to be

33:23

that bad as a parent. You

33:26

that that's just and

33:29

so that that's where you look. You have to parent

33:33

your kids, give them some guidance, give them

33:35

some direction. If you don't, this is the

33:37

real, this is the harsh reality.

33:39

If you do not teach your

33:41

kid about

33:44

consequences, they will

33:46

learn another way, they

33:48

will learn the hard way, and sometimes it'll be a

33:50

very, very hard way. But it will be learned because

33:54

consequences are coming regardless. You

33:57

can either introduce consequences to your child. It

34:00

controlled safe. Loving. Environment

34:02

of the home. Or you can let the world do

34:04

it. And

34:06

the those parents let the world do it.

34:08

and if but if you let the world

34:10

teach your kid about consequences your he will

34:12

not like. The. Way that lessons

34:15

taught. And.

34:17

Because. That's the thing. consequences that that's the

34:19

one thing you can't escape and life eventually

34:21

they come. The comparable to me this

34:24

is like this is science right of Newton's third

34:26

law. For. Every action there is a reaction.

34:28

I met applies to human behavior as much as

34:30

applies to physics. And I'm not. I'm not talking

34:32

about some kind of buddhist karma thing. I'm I'm

34:35

not in Tacoma. Divine judgment. Although that is the

34:37

ultimate consequence that we all will face. What I

34:39

mean is that. If. You

34:41

don't teach your kid about consequences. Then.

34:44

The consequence of that's failure.

34:47

Is that? Your. Kid will

34:50

become the sort of person who doesn't

34:52

understand consequences. And

34:54

and will act in the kind of

34:56

way that people with that money misunderstanding

34:58

act. And. And a

35:00

consequence of that. Will. Almost certainly

35:03

be horrified. And often fatal.

35:06

As a was here. So that's where

35:08

the blame goes. To.

35:10

The parents. Unfortunately, I'm. What

35:13

about the cops? Like. Lots of

35:15

people have said it. The cops should not have

35:18

done the pit maneuver days. The doing a pin

35:20

louvered to stop apart don't hundred miles an hour

35:22

is is. Almost certainly going to kill the

35:24

occupants of the car. And.

35:27

That's been a criticism, but. What? Else would you

35:29

have the cops do. Anything about you?

35:31

You have a car going on. Hundred miles an hour.

35:34

It's stolen. The

35:36

cops can either. Do everything they can

35:38

to stop the car. Or.

35:40

They could just let it go. Vegan.

35:43

Or okay, well, and what does, so

35:45

if you? So basically we're announcing that.

35:48

If. You if you commit a crime he still a car to

35:50

do anything. As. Long as you drive.

35:53

ill over sixty five miles an hour away from the great

35:55

seen a the crime you automatically get away does not going

35:58

to chase not going to try to stop I

36:00

mean, that's what people that's honestly

36:02

what some people want. They say the cops

36:04

should not engage in high speed chases. It's

36:06

dangerous So what you're saying is

36:08

like once someone gets in a car,

36:10

they can just go. All right. See you later Well,

36:16

and what happens if they do that well, I mean

36:19

leaving aside the concern that you're just letting people get away with

36:21

crimes Well

36:24

Now you have a stolen car speeding down

36:27

the road Going for a

36:29

joyride at potentially triple digit

36:31

speeds With

36:34

the people inside it wielding this

36:37

5,000 pound weapon this massive metal

36:39

battering ram and What

36:42

happens if and when they crash into another motorist

36:44

on the road What

36:47

happens when they T-bone a minivan with the with a

36:49

family inside and kill everybody inside it what happens then?

36:53

Well, then the cops have just sat by and

36:55

watched as an entire family was

36:57

killed and then we blame the cops for

36:59

that So they can't win Either

37:02

they stopped the car and

37:04

we blame them for how they stopped

37:07

it Or they don't stop the car

37:09

and we blame them for whoever the teenagers kill as

37:11

a result of them not stopping it So

37:13

it's a lose-lose as always for the cops. There's no way

37:16

This is no matter what they do They

37:20

probably lose Which is

37:22

why they did the right thing. I mean, it's sad that the

37:24

kids died it is But if you're stealing a car and going

37:26

100 miles an hour You

37:31

know You're putting lives at

37:33

risk And it needs to

37:35

be your own life. That's at risk. Not anybody else's

37:40

And if anyone is going to

37:42

die as a result of that decision it

37:44

should be you and not and not anyone else

37:47

on the road So

37:50

you need to be stopped whatever the cost is to you So

37:53

that there is not a cost to

37:55

some innocent third party that is not involved in this

38:01

I think that's the way you have to break it down. All

38:04

right. You know, if

38:06

it were somehow possible to harvest and

38:08

harness a moment of cringe, and

38:11

then convert the cringe energy into

38:13

a weapon of some kind, a

38:16

bomb, let's say, a cringe bomb,

38:18

then I think this moment right here could

38:21

be made into a bomb 100 times more

38:23

powerful than the one we dropped on Hiroshima.

38:26

This is beyond like nuclear-grade cringe.

38:28

It really is. I

38:31

it took me three tries. This is

38:33

a 20-second clip. It took me three tries to watch

38:35

it because the first

38:38

two times I had to turn it off. I had to

38:40

turn it off. I got 15 seconds and I couldn't make it. First

38:42

time was 10 seconds, then I made it 15 seconds. Then

38:45

I finally made it to the end. It's very, very difficult. I'm

38:47

telling you. And

38:49

this is what happens when you take two

38:51

of the cringiest humans on Earth, Kamala

38:54

Harris and Drew Barrymore, and

38:57

you put them together on

38:59

camera, on

39:02

a couch. The

39:05

cringe that will result will be, well, it'll be

39:07

exactly like this. Watch. I've

39:10

been thinking that we really all need a

39:12

tremendous hug in the world right now. But

39:15

in our country, we need

39:17

you to be mamala of the country. That's

39:35

bad. I told you. I warned you.

39:37

We need you to be mamala of the country. My

39:40

God. Now, I do have

39:42

to say Kamala's reaction

39:44

there. And if you let it

39:46

go a little bit, a few more seconds longer, you'll

39:48

see like her reaction was I

39:52

don't know what she said after this, but her reaction in the

39:54

moment. It

39:56

was pretty good. She

39:58

reacted like a relatively normal reaction. normal person to

40:00

such a bizarre comment, because Drew

40:03

Barrymore says, we need you to give us a hug

40:05

as a pemamala of the country. And

40:07

Camilla says, Yeah, okay. I mean, I

40:10

mean, okay. I

40:12

mean, yeah, all right. What else do you say

40:14

to that? I don't know what you say. Well, I you know,

40:16

here's what I wish. Here's what I wish. I

40:18

see these clips of the Drew Barrymore show. I wish

40:21

one of her guests would just say to her, Hey, can

40:24

you like back off? First of all,

40:26

what give me some personal space? Okay, there are two couches

40:28

here. Why are you not sitting on that couch? Isn't that

40:30

what this is supposed to I've been on I've been on

40:33

talk shows before? What are you sitting right next to me

40:35

on the same couch? Like

40:37

this is like if I if we're going to

40:39

eat lunch or

40:41

something in a professional environment, like a work

40:43

lunch, and we're sitting in a

40:45

booth and you come over to sit on the same

40:47

side as me on the same booth. You don't

40:50

do that. I don't know you that well, what are you doing?

40:53

So stop making this so awkward. Like

40:55

there are people watching what do you why are

40:58

you trying to make me uncomfortable? I came to your show.

41:00

Now I wish somebody

41:02

would would say that that'd be a nice thing to say. But

41:05

the most ridiculous thing here. Aside

41:08

from how cringy it is in general to ask

41:10

a politician to give the country a big hug

41:13

and be our mom. Aside

41:16

from that, of all

41:18

the people to say that to

41:21

Camilla Harris is the last

41:23

one. She is the

41:25

least qualified for the

41:27

role of national mom, not that I think

41:29

it's a role that anyone should necessarily be

41:32

filling. But I mean, it honestly it would

41:34

make I know this sounds this sounds like an exaggeration,

41:37

but it would make more sense to

41:39

ask Hillary Clinton to be America's mom

41:41

that would make more sense. At

41:44

least Hillary Clinton, she has a kid. She,

41:47

you know, Harris doesn't even have children.

41:50

Hillary Clinton has just plus Hillary could be you

41:52

know, she could be kind

41:54

of America's evil stepmom.

41:57

So she does give off a certain maternal energy.

42:00

It's a very evil maternal energy, but if she

42:02

gives off the maternal energy of a mom who

42:04

like locks you up in the tower and you're

42:06

forced to befriend talking rodents because nobody will talk

42:08

to you, like she gives off that very Cinderella

42:10

vibe thing. And you may, and

42:12

maybe you can make an argument that there's times when America

42:15

could use an evil stepmom, I don't know. But

42:17

Harris doesn't even have that. Like

42:20

she gives off no mom vibes at all. Least

42:23

of all the warm, loving maternal vibes of

42:25

a mom who gives us all a hug.

42:28

Well, of all the emotions

42:30

and thoughts to experience when you see Camilla Harris

42:32

and listen to her talk, who would think to

42:34

themselves, I want her to give

42:36

me a hug, what? Drew

42:40

Barrymore, you might as well go to

42:43

like Cole's department store and deliver that tearful

42:46

plea to a mannequin in the women's section.

42:48

You might as well be talking to a

42:50

mannequin. Can you be our momnequin?

42:55

Can you be the momnequin of the country and give us all a hug?

42:58

Like you lunatic, what

43:00

is wrong with you? How

43:02

does this person have a talk show? Camilla

43:06

Harris is totally empty. She's a completely hollow

43:08

person. Nothing to say,

43:10

nothing to offer, no warmth, no

43:12

compassion, no wisdom, nothing.

43:17

She is so lifeless that she makes

43:19

Joe Biden seem vibrant by comparison. Which

43:24

by the way is like the only reason that she's still on the ticket. And

43:28

Joe Biden, by the way, he would love to give the country a

43:30

hug. He would love it way too much. Let's

43:34

get to the comment section. If you're

43:36

a man, it's required that you will be.

43:41

This my baby, game. You

43:45

know, there's nothing like sitting behind home plate at

43:48

a baseball game or being courtside at a basketball

43:50

game or front row for your favorite

43:52

concert. When you want the best, you have to

43:54

act quickly. If you don't, someone else will come

43:56

along instead and take that opportunity from you. It's

43:58

the same if you're hiring for a business. You want to find

44:00

the most talented people for your open roles before the

44:03

competition scoops them up. So what's the

44:05

best way to do that? Well, ZipRecruiter, that's the

44:07

44:45

the smartest way to hire.

44:48

Never in a million years would I expect to

44:50

see Walsh be more defensive of a dog's life

44:52

than Knowles. That is a

44:54

twist. That's a twist. I know

44:56

Knowles went for full on defending

44:58

the killing of poor cricket. And

45:02

it is a twist because you expect like, if

45:04

someone told you ahead of time that a politician

45:06

would get in a lot of trouble for killing

45:08

a dog and one daily wire host would

45:11

be alone in defending the decision, everybody

45:13

would assume, you'd put all your

45:15

money in your bank account on betting

45:18

that it's me to be the one to do that. So

45:20

it is a little bit like to keep

45:23

you, I wanna keep you on your toes. I don't wanna always

45:25

be predictable. I'm predictable most of the

45:27

time, but I wanna, every once in a

45:29

while, I gotta veer off in a direction you

45:31

weren't expecting. Now

45:33

look, and it's

45:36

actually, there's a fair amount of comments actually defending

45:40

Noam on this. I'll

45:43

just read one other. Says,

45:45

everyone getting mad about the farm dog is ridiculous,

45:47

mostly because many states will put down your dog

45:49

if they kill livestock. If she didn't

45:51

cut her family that check, they'd

45:54

have full rights to have cricket put down anyways. Brain

45:56

dead arguments as always. Yeah, so look, First

46:00

of all, I don't

46:02

care that much at all. Like I don't,

46:06

and I think I made that clear when we talked about it

46:08

in the daily cancellation yesterday, that

46:10

of all the things to worry about right

46:12

now, of all the things to

46:14

be upset about, being upset

46:16

about a dead dog 20 years

46:18

ago on some ranch in

46:21

South Dakota, of all the

46:23

things to be actively angry about at

46:25

this moment in time, it

46:27

is insane that that makes anybody's top 10

46:29

list, much less would it, should it be

46:32

number one on their list for

46:34

multiple days as it was for plenty

46:36

of people, including prominent conservatives

46:39

who spent multiple days talking about it.

46:41

I'm on Twitter last night, and

46:44

there are still people making

46:46

their arguments. You know, I don't think that she

46:48

should have killed the dog for this reason. Like

46:50

we get it, we've heard it, we've heard it

46:52

by now. Everyone's posting pictures of their own dog.

46:54

That's my favorite. People posting pictures of their own

46:57

dog. Saying, I would

46:59

never kill my dog. Like, okay,

47:01

wait, what do you want us to get? What, you want a cookie? You

47:03

want us to give you credit for that? I

47:06

wouldn't kill my, like that's creepy, first of

47:09

all. That's just

47:11

an odd thing to do. Your

47:13

dog's probably pretty freaked out if he knew that you

47:15

were doing that. If

47:19

your dog could ask, like, why are you taking a picture

47:21

of me, oh, because I'm gonna post it online just

47:23

to show everyone that I haven't killed you. So

47:26

it's way over the top

47:29

and ridiculous. And it

47:31

doesn't, if I were to make a list of the things

47:33

that I care about right now and the issues that I

47:35

think should be top headline

47:38

news and should get everyone's attention, and

47:41

I were to make a list and a ranking, Kristi

47:44

Noem's dead dog 20 years

47:46

ago would not, the

47:48

list, you would get to number one million on the

47:50

list and we wouldn't even be close to

47:52

cricket making the list yet. With all

47:55

due respect to cricket, I'm sure cricket wasn't a

47:57

great dog. Well, apparently she wasn't a very good dog,

47:59

but. Even so, with all due respect to

48:02

the fallen, I would

48:04

not make the list. So, you

48:07

know, let's not get too bad out of shame. It's not like

48:10

I'm crying tears about it. However,

48:13

if someone asks me and presents it

48:15

as just an ethical question, do

48:18

you think like what are the circumstances where it's okay

48:20

to put down a dog? I think there are plenty

48:22

of circumstances where it's okay. And

48:25

then you tell me the specifics of this case and you

48:28

ask me to make a judgment call

48:30

and I'll say, yeah, probably not that. Probably

48:33

not. Probably not because of how young the dog was. And

48:36

it sounds like the dog needed more training.

48:39

And 14 months, now I'm not a dog expert. I'm

48:41

not a dog trainer. I don't

48:43

hunt with dogs. So, or

48:47

hunt at all, frankly. But

48:49

it seems to me that 14 months is a

48:51

little young for that. And

48:54

it's just more time needed to be put into training. Yeah,

48:59

I don't think it's necessarily ethically right to

49:04

kill an animal rather than put the proper

49:06

energy into training the animal. That's

49:09

how I would break this down. And

49:12

then after saying that, I will just move on with my

49:14

life and probably never think about it again. Because,

49:16

as I said, there are many

49:19

other things for us to be worried about right now. All

49:22

right. Speaking of truth says, I think

49:25

the fact that virginity is rising has more

49:27

to do with the toxic feminist movement than

49:29

porn. That

49:32

certainly is a major factor. I think

49:35

that there are, first of all, it's hard

49:38

to break it down. It's hard to separate all these

49:40

things all the time. And

49:43

as we've been talking about the rise in

49:45

male virginity, declining

49:47

birth rates, as we discussed to start

49:49

the show yesterday, there are many factors

49:51

that go into it. One of them that I mentioned was porn.

49:57

Specifically on rising male

49:59

virginity. Is is itself

50:01

one of the factors leading into the declining

50:03

birth rates it itself is not the only

50:06

factor and Then what is

50:08

the main factor leading into that factor? Well, I would

50:10

say that porn is the main one But

50:12

certainly not the only one Now

50:15

you you could point out as many people did in comments

50:17

that okay Yeah, porn is

50:19

a major factor maybe even be the main factor.

50:22

But why is it that

50:24

porn is so prevalent? Why is it that men

50:26

are? Turning to porn as much

50:28

as they are Well, then

50:31

then you can continue the conversation and we could talk about this

50:33

for hours and not reach the end of it and

50:38

feminism certainly has not helped or any

50:40

of this and Has

50:42

been not only hasn't helped but has

50:44

been a just a toxic

50:48

As you say toxic is the right word a poisonous

50:51

Degrading influence on the culture and just

50:54

about every respect to my mind But

51:00

the fact is that You've

51:04

got you know, I looked up a study we were

51:07

talking about this yesterday And

51:09

it it kind of changes depending on the

51:11

study you're looking at the one study I saw which I think

51:13

is a pretty conservative estimate Says that

51:15

the first first exposure to pornography for

51:17

children is 12 years

51:19

old now. I've read Eight

51:22

years old. I've read nine years old. I've read

51:24

ten So it kind of depends but let's just

51:26

go with that really concern the most conservative estimate,

51:29

which is let's say 12 still

51:32

12 years old and you've got Boys

51:36

at the age of 12 and and girls too

51:39

but more often boys That

51:42

are exposed to hardcore

51:45

pornography at the age of 12, which

51:47

which is something that just it

51:49

almost never happened prior to

51:51

the internet age Almost

51:54

never a 12 year old being exposed

51:56

to this kind of content would

51:58

almost never happen. And I know know that people

52:01

will say, Oh, what about what

52:05

about your kid finds

52:07

his dad's porn magazines?

52:10

People bring this up all the time. Like, first of

52:12

all, if your dad was leaving porn magazines around the

52:14

house, then your dad was was a

52:16

creep. Like that's, you know, I

52:19

did my dad wasn't looking at porn magazine, we didn't have

52:21

porn magazines in the house at all. I don't think that

52:23

that was all that common. If it

52:25

seems common to you, then that says something about the way that

52:27

you were raised, and you should be asking some serious questions about

52:29

the way you were raised. But,

52:32

but even with that, like, that would be

52:34

the only real circumstance where

52:37

a child will be exposed to anything like this.

52:39

And that was not nearly as common. And

52:43

most of the time, the images that

52:45

they if they were exposed to anything,

52:47

the images would not be would not

52:49

be anything like what kids are exposed

52:51

to now. And also

52:53

just the ubiquity of it. It's so

52:55

pervasive. It's everywhere. The other thing too,

52:58

also with with pornography is that yes,

53:01

you've got millions of people that are seeking it out every

53:03

single day, and spending hours every

53:06

single day consuming

53:08

hardcore pornography. Which

53:11

again, prior to the internet, internet age, even

53:14

if some even if an adult was subscribed to a magazine,

53:17

like they were not they

53:20

probably were not spending hours

53:23

every day with pornography, it

53:25

just wasn't enough of it. But

53:29

the other thing too, is that again,

53:32

prior to the internet age, you

53:35

also would there was almost no

53:38

scenario where you would be accidentally

53:40

exposed to pornographic

53:42

images. It

53:44

would be it's hard to imagine

53:47

a scenario where that would happen, that where you

53:49

would accidentally you would have to seek it out,

53:51

or put yourself in a position in

53:53

a situation where you might encounter it. But

53:57

these days, like anyone on social media, you

53:59

can go on Twitter. And

54:01

anyone could go to Twitter, any kid can go on Twitter

54:04

and just scroll down a newsfeed and see

54:07

explicit pornography just pop up.

54:12

That's how pervasive it is. And

54:16

we could talk about other things too, but there

54:18

is no conversation about declining birth

54:21

rates, male virginity, male loneliness, the

54:24

decline in marriage, all that. There is no conversation

54:26

about that sort of thing that

54:30

can skip over this factor of

54:32

pornography. Court reconvenes tonight

54:35

at 8 p.m. Eastern and it's in fact your

54:37

civic duty, your moral obligation and legal obligation to

54:39

watch my new Daily Wire Plus series, Judge by

54:41

Matt Walsh. Now to the

54:44

astonishment, perhaps dismay to some, my rulings are

54:46

indeed legally binding. They are legal rulings. Step

54:49

into my courtroom with your petty grievances and

54:51

you'll find my verdicts are final as they

54:53

rightfully should be. In tonight's episode, you'll see

54:55

a sibling duo that takes the old adage,

54:57

sharing is caring to ludicrous

54:59

extremes plus a flirtatious Santa who may

55:01

just find himself on his own naughty

55:03

list. Remember, the courtroom is

55:05

my domain, but entry is exclusive to Daily

55:07

Wire Plus members. So make your wise decision,

55:10

get your membership now at dailywireplus.com and witness

55:12

the gavel of justice in action tonight

55:15

at 8 p.m. Eastern only on Daily

55:17

Wire Plus. Remember, if you don't enjoy

55:19

it, well, there's something

55:21

wrong with you. Now let's get to our

55:23

daily cancellation. There's

55:30

another one of those headlines that starts out crazy and

55:32

then gets even more insane somehow as it goes on. Here

55:34

it is from the New York Post. Daily

55:37

showers are purely performative and have

55:39

no real health benefits. Experts

55:42

insist. So, you know,

55:44

you're in for a treat whenever the experts show up. The

55:47

headline ends with the phrase experts

55:49

insist or experts say. You

55:52

can be sure that whatever preceded it is completely

55:54

bonkers. And this time the experts are on the

55:56

scene to discourage us from being

55:59

hygienic. And why? I

56:01

mean, what is their argument against bathing yourself?

56:04

And in what way is a shower performative? Like

56:07

I've never thought of myself as performing while

56:10

taking a shower, but I guess that's what

56:12

you expect me to say as one of

56:14

those phony pandering grifters who

56:16

takes showers. Already we

56:18

could tell that there's, you know, the experts might

56:20

be engaged in a little bit of post hoc

56:22

rationalization here. We could probably assume that

56:24

these experts were made fun of in school for having

56:26

bad BO, and they eventually

56:28

came up with this justification. I

56:31

don't stink, I'm just authentic. Showers

56:34

are performative anyway, you frauds, you frauds

56:36

with your showers. Or

56:38

perhaps I'm being unfair. Maybe they have a reasonable

56:41

case to make. So let's be open-minded and

56:44

let's keep reading. Experts say the

56:46

daily shower has no proven health benefit

56:48

dismissing the dowsing as a socially accepted

56:50

practice geared towards staving off accusations of

56:52

funkiness. As A-listers from

56:54

Jake Gyllenhaal to Mila Kunis admit they've

56:57

been saying no to the nozzle. Quote,

57:00

why are we washing? Mostly because we're

57:02

afraid somebody else will tell us that

57:04

we're smelling. Environmentalist Danakta McCarthy tells the

57:07

BBC, the prostitute state author only hoses

57:09

off once per month to help the

57:11

environment. A lifestyle choice inspired by

57:13

spending two weeks in the Amazon with

57:15

the indigenous Yano Mami tribe, he

57:18

said. So as you get

57:20

that, this guy has picked up

57:22

his personal grooming habits from a primitive jungle

57:24

tribe in the Amazon. That's

57:26

like telling us that your perspective on

57:28

dental hygiene was transformed by spending a

57:30

week in London. Like if anything,

57:33

it should have the effect of making you more

57:35

inspired to be hygienic. I myself have had a

57:37

brief encounter with the traditional tribal culture. And

57:40

I will tell you that, and

57:42

they were very welcoming and it was quite wonderful in

57:44

many ways, but I

57:46

never appreciated a shower so much as the one

57:48

that I took when I got home

57:50

from that experience. And by

57:53

the way, primitive tribes, they don't bathe very

57:55

often, but it's not because of some deep

57:57

ancestral knowledge of hygiene, it's because, first of

57:59

all, all, they don't have running water. And

58:02

second, they don't really know much about germs

58:04

and bacteria. So the lack of showers comes

58:06

purely from a place of ignorance and deprivation,

58:08

not something we really want to emulate in

58:10

the first world, I would think. But

58:12

anyway, continuing, it says, quote, every

58:14

other morning, McCarthy told a reporter he

58:16

opts instead for a wash at the sink, using a

58:19

cloth to give his body a good scrub. And

58:21

while abstaining from daily showers might seem

58:23

like antisocial behavior, medical experts are inclined

58:25

to lean toward agreeing with earthy types

58:27

like McCarthy, saying that the

58:29

moderate obsession with cleanliness can actually be hazardous to

58:32

one's health. Manhattan dermatologist Dr.

58:34

Julie Rusack previously told the

58:36

Post that prolonged daily showers could strip

58:38

away the skin's microbiome, which plays

58:41

a role in protecting the skin is also extremely important in

58:43

overall health. chemist David

58:45

Whitlock was so adamant about preserving this

58:47

dermal barrier that the bathing abstainer didn't

58:50

shower for 12 years.

58:53

disgusting, instead opting to

58:55

spray himself with good bacteria. When

58:58

asked about addressing critics, he told Vice, tell

59:00

anyone who mocks you that they're

59:03

betraying profound ignorance of the skin

59:05

microbiome, and then walk away. Well,

59:08

yes, we might be ignorant of the skin

59:11

microbiome. But the bigger problem, David is that

59:13

you smell like ass. That's, that's really the

59:15

issue here. But good. Yes,

59:17

please walk away. Please that part, please do.

59:21

Now, so far, I haven't read anything that persuades me

59:23

to stop showering. But you know, maybe we haven't read

59:25

far enough. So let's just go through a bit more

59:27

here. In 2021, researchers at Harvard

59:29

found that 66% of Americans shower every day.

59:32

Well, 2005 report claims that

59:34

it's common for Brits to shower once or

59:36

twice per day. The

59:38

Brits are showering more often. I don't believe it.

59:40

I don't know. I watched their brush in our

59:42

teeth more often. We wash

59:44

our bodies so much that much more did than

59:46

we did in the past. Dale Suddenton professor of

59:48

sociology of consumption at the University of Bristol, who

59:51

co authored the report told the change

59:53

has mostly come about over the past

59:55

100 years and it was not planned. In fact, it seems

59:57

to have happened almost accidentally. Experts

1:00:00

have chalked up this phenomenon to the increasing

1:00:02

prevalence of showers, which became common in

1:00:04

US homes circa the 1920s and in their across

1:00:07

the pond counterparts in the 1950s. We

1:00:09

don't shower because of health. We shower because it's a normal

1:00:12

thing to do. Throw in the societal stigma of not showering.

1:00:15

It's no secret people are irrigating their

1:00:17

epidermis on the ring. Sally

1:00:21

Bloomfield honorary professor at the London School

1:00:23

of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine claimed that

1:00:26

people shower every day because it's, quote,

1:00:28

socially acceptable. Okay.

1:00:30

A few things here. First

1:00:33

of all, if I was dictator of the country,

1:00:36

then any news publication that used a phrase like

1:00:38

on the reg in its journalism

1:00:40

would be forcibly disbanded and all of

1:00:42

its employees would be imprisoned for life.

1:00:45

Second, speaking of people who should

1:00:47

be imprisoned for life, I am horrified to learn that according

1:00:49

to one study, 34% of

1:00:51

you are not showering every day. You

1:00:55

dirty, smelly freaks. Third,

1:00:57

as I read this article, I was expecting that

1:00:59

it would all come around to the experts claiming

1:01:02

that actually, if you don't shower for five months,

1:01:04

eventually your body adjusts and you won't smell like

1:01:06

garbage anymore. I thought that they would get around

1:01:08

to making some kind of dubious claim like that,

1:01:10

but no. Instead, they

1:01:12

seem to be admitting that yes, you will stink and

1:01:15

that's supposed to be okay, apparently.

1:01:17

You should just like get back to

1:01:19

stinking, back to the good old days

1:01:21

of everyone smelling like wet dogs all the time. And

1:01:24

their whole argument is that, well, the only

1:01:26

reason people shower every day is because of

1:01:28

the social stigma of giving off the stench

1:01:30

of an overheated Porta John. That's

1:01:32

the only reason they claim. Well,

1:01:35

no, that's not the only reason. There are other

1:01:37

reasons. There are plenty of health benefits to washing

1:01:39

the dirt and grime off your body. But yes,

1:01:41

it's true that beyond all that, and maybe before

1:01:43

all that, there is the fact

1:01:45

that we want to fit into society. We want to

1:01:47

be normal people. We want to be pleasant for others

1:01:49

to be around and therefore not stink. That's true. And

1:01:53

that's good. It's good to want to be normal in that way. It's

1:01:55

good to want to be a pleasant, welcome sort

1:01:57

of presence in the room rather than a foul,

1:01:59

reeking disgust. See,

1:02:01

these experts, they treat the desire for

1:02:03

normalcy and social cohesion as some kind

1:02:05

of great evil. They

1:02:08

point at us in an accusatory way and

1:02:10

they say, you people, you only take showers

1:02:12

so that other people don't vomit from your

1:02:14

stench whenever you walk into the room. Well,

1:02:18

yes, I mean, that's a big part of

1:02:20

it. We don't want

1:02:22

to be the objects of revulsion to other

1:02:24

human beings. It's good for

1:02:26

us to not want that. It's good

1:02:28

for us to take steps to avoid being that. That's

1:02:32

what it means to be a functional member of human

1:02:34

society. Now,

1:02:36

look, there are plenty of criticisms you could make of

1:02:38

modern culture, plenty of downsides you could

1:02:40

list. But the expert class

1:02:43

is in a constant state of warfare against the

1:02:45

aspects of modern society that are by far and

1:02:47

away the best. The things that

1:02:49

are nearly all upside and no downside,

1:02:51

air conditioning, indoor plumbing, beef

1:02:53

products, modern hygiene. That's

1:02:56

all the best stuff. That's

1:02:59

stuff that's inarguably, it makes your life

1:03:01

better and more enjoyable and increases your

1:03:03

happiness and wellbeing. And

1:03:06

these are precisely the things that they want to take from

1:03:08

us until we're eating the

1:03:10

bugs and living in the pod, greasy

1:03:12

and unwashed so

1:03:14

that the pod smells like a hippie commune. This

1:03:17

is the life they want for us. And it's

1:03:19

why the anti-showering experts are

1:03:22

today canceled. I'm

1:03:24

new for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks

1:03:26

for listening. Talk to you tomorrow. Bye.
