Pam Bondi (6:12)

It's sitting on my desk right now to review. That's been a directive by President Trump. I'm reviewing that. I'm reviewing JFK files, MLK files. That's all in the process of being reviewed because that was done at the directive of the president from all of these agencies.

Jesse Waters (6:27)

So.

Matt Walsh (6:28)

So have you seen anything that you said? Oh, my Go.

Pam Bondi (6:32)

Not yet.

Matt Walsh (6:33)

Okay, well, we'll check back with you. It's sitting on her desk right now. What's sitting on her desk? Well, the Epstein client list. She says that specifically. She does not say that this list might be out there somewhere. She doesn't say that she's still looking for the list. She doesn't say that she sent Indiana Jones out on a mission to find the list deep in a cave in the jungle somewhere. No, she says it is sitting on her desk at that present moment in February of this year. Now, less than a week later, on February 26, Bondi was back on Fox. And this time she was there to explain that she was about to release flight logs and other information about Epstein. She also said that Epstein had hundreds of victims, that the DOJ has been slow to release information only because it wants to protect the privacy of those victims.

Jesse Waters (7:24)

A lot of People are wondering because you said last week that you have the Epstein files on your desk is when can we see them and what's taking so long to release them?

Pam Bondi (7:33)

I do. Jesse, there are. Well over this. This will make you sick. 200 victims. 200. So we have well over. Over 250, actually. So we have to make sure that their identity is protected and their personal information. But other than that, I think tomorrow, you know, the personal information of victims. Other than that, I think tomorrow. Jesse, breaking news right now. You're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office.

Jesse Waters (8:05)

What kind? Are we going to see who was on the flights? Are we going to see any evidence from what he recorded? Because he had all of his homes wired with recording devices.

Pam Bondi (8:16)

What you're going to see, hopefully tomorrow, is a lot of flight logs, a lot of names, a lot of information. But it's pretty sick what that man did. Okay, well, along with his co defendant.

Jesse Waters (8:31)

Absolutely. And he had help, that's for sure.

Pam Bondi (8:33)

He sure did.

Matt Walsh (8:35)

So tomorrow, Tomorrow she says you're going to see a lot of names. Names tomorrow, along with lots of other information. But, you know, that was back in February, and tomorrow has long since come and gone from the perspective of February. So what happened with all those names that she explicitly on camera, promised? Well, nothing. There were no names released. There had never been any names released related to Jeffrey Epstein except Jelaine Maxwell. Instead, several influencers, as you may recall, were invited to the White House and handed large binders entitled the Epstein Files, Phase One. And they had reporters ready outside, ready to take pictures of the influencers triumphantly emerging from the White House, holding the binders as they exited. It was obviously a coordinated stunt. They made a big show of releasing the files, or at least phase one of the files. But within a few hours, it became clear that the binders didn't contain any new information at all. Everything in the binders had been published before, so they didn't actually release anything. And this development posed an obvious problem for Pam Bondi's credibility. She. She had not told Jesse Waters that the DOJ was about to release old information that everyone already had access to. She had not promised to repackage previously released documents in a fancy new binder. I didn't hear that part of her Jesse Waters interview. Did you? Did you hear her say, well, you know, Jesse, we actually don't have any new information about Epstein, but what we do have are some fun new binders? No, instead she said that she had breaking news that would make people sick and she specifically told John Roberts and the audience at CPAC that the information related to the names of Epstein's clients. But none of that materialized. So instead, on February 28, Bondi sent a letter to the FBI. The FBI director, Kash Patel, put that up on the screen there. And essentially Bondi claimed that the FBI had thousands more documents in its possession. She demanded the FBI turn over those documents. And then in early March, the head of FBI's New York field office was forced to resign after Bondi accused him of of withholding the documents. But around the same time, she said that the FBI had finally produced the documents. And here's what she told Sean Hannity on March 3rd. Quote, I gave the FBI a deadline of Friday at 8am to get us everything. And a source has told me that told me where the documents were being kept. Southern District of New York. So we got them all by Friday at 8am Thousands of pages of documents. I have the FBI going through them and, and Director Patel is going to get us a detailed report as to why the FBI withheld all those documents, close quote. For the next several weeks, Bondi would repeat variations of this statement. She would claim over and over again that the DOJ had received truckloads of new documents. Justice said the DOJ possessed, quote, tens of thousands of videos involving Epstein, videos that were never referenced in any of the previous Epstein cases. At a minimum, after all of this, you would expect some form of accounting from the Attorney General and the DOJ about what exactly is contained within these truckloads of documents. And given that tens of thousands of videos are involved and Epstein was clearly involved in sex trafficking, which is why he was in prison in the first place, presumably a lot of people are implicated in these videos, a lot of other people aside from Epstein himself. That's especially true since Bondi has was explicitly asked about a client list and stated directly that the list existed and she had it in her possession. But instead of any explanation whatsoever, instead of any form of transparency to make sense of all of this, we instead got a memo from the DOJ and the FBI explaining that this was last week, explaining that after reviewing all the new information, there actually was no new information. There was no client list. No one else is implicated. Epstein did kill himself and there's nothing else to report on the subject. That's it. It's over. And then we were treated to this performance in the White House. Watch.

Jesse Waters (12:58)

Are you still talking about Jeffrey Epstein? This guy's been talked about for years. You're asking. We have Texas. We have this, we have all, all of the things. And are people still talking about this guy, this creep? That is unbelievable. Do you want to waste the time and do you feel like answering?

Pam Bondi (13:18)

I don't mind answering.

Jesse Waters (13:20)

I mean, I can't believe you're asking a question on Epstein at a time like this where we're having some of the greatest success and also tragedy with what happened in Texas. It just seems like a desecration. But you go ahead.

Matt Walsh (13:34)

Sure, sure.

Pam Bondi (13:35)

First to back up on that, in February I did an interview on Fox and it's been getting a lot of attention because I said I was asked a question about the client list and my response was it's sitting on my desk to be reviewed, meaning the file, along with the JFK MLK files as well. That's what I meant by that. Also to the tens of thousands of video, they turned out to be child porn downloaded by that disgusting Jeffrey Epstein. Child porn is what they were never going to be released, never going to see the light of day to him being an agent. I have no knowledge about that. We can get back to you on that. And the minute missing from the video. We release the video showing definitively the video release was not conclusive, but the evidence prior to it was showing he committed suicide. And what was on that? There was a minute that was off the counter. And what we learned from Bureau of Prisons was every year, every night they redo that video. It was old from like 1999. So every night the video is reset and every night should have the same minute missing. So we're looking for the that video to release that as well, showing that a minute is missing every night. And that's it on Epstein.

Matt Walsh (14:59)

There'S simply no getting around the massive crater like hole that the administration dug for itself here. Let's assume that everything Pam Bondi says in that clip is true, which I don't believe it is. She still hasn't explained why the DOJ released phase one of the Epstein files, implying that there are more coming. Phase one means there's a phase two at least. And keep in mind, that was before she allegedly discovered that the FBI was hiding truckloads of additional documents. They had already contemplated a phase two, and then they got a truckload of more documents. And instead of getting a phase two, we're told that, oh no, Phase one was it. So what's going on here? What's in those phase two documents that we were promised? And more to the point, how exactly is it remotely plausible that Jeffrey Epstein could have possessed tens of thousands of explicit videos without implicating a single other individual. Now, here's what the DOJ could do right now. They could unseal all of the relevant search warrants and affidavits for the raids and Epstein's properties. They could unseal and unredact all of Epstein's financial disclosures. They could also explain, document by document, what was in those truckloads of files they just recovered at the FBI. Even if it's irrelevant, they can explain why it's irrelevant. They could at least do that to begin with. And instead, they're not doing any of it. They're just telling us to shut up, essentially, and it's not a particularly convincing effort. You know, at the end of that clip, Bondi didn't even respond when she was asked whether Epstein was an intelligence asset. She said that she would have to get back to us on that. This has been the go to response to bury this question in Washington for many years. That's been the go to response about everything Epstein related. But we'll get back to you on that. We'll get. We'll get. We'll. Yeah. Oh, yeah, we'll get. We'll. We'll let you know. Rather than say yes or no, they evade in the most suspicious and incriminating way possible. And back during the first Trump administration, Alex Acosta, the former U.S. attorney who handled the Epstein case, basically did the same thing. Instead of addressing the question directly, he stalled, which of course basically confirms that, indeed, it is true that as the Daily Beast first reported, Epstein, quote, belonged to Intelligence Watch. One more question, Richard Lardner from The Associated Press. Mr. Secretary, were you ever made aware at any point your handling of this case if Mr. Epstein was an intelligence asset of some sort?

Kash Patel (17:32)

So there has been reporting to that effect, and let me say, there's been reporting to a lot of effects in this case, not just now, but over the years. And again, I would, you know, I would hesitate to take this reporting as fact. This was a case that was brought by our office. It was brought based on the facts. And I look at that reporting and others, I can't address it directly because of our guidelines, but, but I can tell you that, that a lot of reporting is just going down rabbit holes.

Matt Walsh (18:10)

A few.

Kash Patel (18:11)

A few more questions.

Matt Walsh (18:13)

So, look, there are, I'm afraid, only two possible scenarios to make sense of all of this. And as a Trump supporter, myself, and a big fan of much of what this president has done so far this term, I don't relish having to say this, but I will always shoot you straight and tell you exactly what I think. So here are the two and only two options, okay? And unfortunately, there just is no option that allows you to just, you know, vindicate the Trump administration entirely and say, well, there's no funny business going on here. That option doesn't exist right now. So option one is that the Trump administration played into the Epstein quote, unquote conspiracy theories, knowing they were false until the moment when it no longer benefited them to do do so. They were drumming up Epstein conspiracies before the election. Then once they took power, they didn't know what to do, so they lied about having possession of a client list, knowing they actually didn't have possession of it, strung everybody along for a while until they finally dropped the pretense. That's, that's one option, okay? That's one theory of the case. The second is that the quote, unquote conspiracy theories are true. And now this administration is, for one reason or another, participating in the COVID up. There is no door number three here because the Attorney General is on the record saying, I have the client list. So those are the only two ways to make sense of that. Those are the two possibilities. Again, I don't, I don't enjoy. I, I, it's doesn't make me happy. I wish. I don't relish this. It's just the way it is. And it's not a good situation either way. And either way, Pam Bondi needs to go. At a minimum, she either lied and said she had the client list on her desk when she didn't, or she's lying now and saying she doesn't have the list when she does. Again, there's no third option. She's lying either way. You can't get around it. And we can't have an Attorney General who lies to us about something as important as this. Now, personally, I don't know the full truth about Epstein, and, and, and now I seriously doubt that any of us will ever know. But I do certainly believe that he was a global sex trafficker with high profile clientele. I mean, that was pretty much unanimously agreed upon until 10 seconds ago by everybody. It's also the reason he went to prison. It's why Maxwell is currently in prison. I also don't for a second believe that he killed himself. And an apparently edited surveillance video from outside of the prison cell is not nearly enough to convince me otherwise. It shouldn't be enough to convince anyone of anything, okay? They put a video out that is not evidence of anything. Now at the moment, if, if we're going to get any transparency, it's probably not coming from Pam Bondi's doj. Instead, it's likely to come from Epstein's closest associate, convicted child sex trafficker Jelaine Maxwell. Late last night, the Daily Mail reported, quote, jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Jillian Maxwell, is ready to reveal truth of the pedophile client list as insider Julian Maxwell is willing to speak in front of Congress about the Epstein files. Now, source said despite the rumors, Ghislaine Maxwell was never offered any kind of plea deal. She would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story. No one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein, and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth, close quote. Now, of course, we have no idea what information, if any, this sociopath, this evil woman, will ultimately reveal. But the fact remains that especially after the humiliating display by Bondi and the DOJ we've all just witnessed, it's probably worth listening to Maxwell's testimony. If a client list exists at this point, she's the most likely person to tell us. Now, yes, it's an indictment of Pam Bondi and the DOJ that we see any reason to listen to a ghoul like this, but that's where we are. Millions of Americans are not satisfied with what we've been told, and we shouldn't be, because it's been contradictory and insulting to our intelligence every step of the way. So now we're looking elsewhere. This is what happens when people are deceived and strung along for years, only to be told that they're not entitled to any kind of transparency whatsoever. People are not just going to move on with their lives no matter how badly you want them to. And there's a reason for that. And I want to make this very clear to those on the right, including the President himself, who are telling us to just drop the subject and move on. We can't drop it. We can't move on, because what we want is justice. We have a deep desire for justice, and we can see how the corrupt and the powerful are never held accountable. We can look at our cities and see violent criminals running rampant in the streets, also not held accountable. We want these evildoers to be punished. We want the innocent to be defended. We want justice. It's one of the most basic and most honorable of all human desires. We want to see that justice is done. We want to know who else was in those awful videos that Pam Bondi told us about. And we want those people to be dragged in front of us, weeping and begging for mercy. We want them exposed and humiliated and shamed and punished in the harshest and most painful way because that's justice. And we're not going to drop the subject until we get it. So unseal everything, including the search warrants and the financial disclosures. Tell us what exactly was in those truckloads of documents that you recovered in New York. Show us the Phase two Epstein files that you told us about just a few months ago. In other words, don't give us any more excuses from bureaucrats on Fox News. Don't give us any more stonewalling and doublespeak. We've seen more than enough of that in this case and so many others. Instead, for a change, give us something we're not used to seeing from the federal government and the doj. Give us justice. Now, let's get to our five headlines. You know what's fascinating?

The New York Post reports the State Department on Friday began terminating more than 1300 positions as part of the Trump administration's effort to trim the size of the federal workforce. The layoffs will affect 1,107 civil servants and 246 foreign service officers with assignments in the U.S. employees began receiving termination notices in the morning informing them that their positions were being abolished. And by afternoon several laid off staffers were spotted tearfully departing the State Department's headquarters. They were met by a crowd of clapping supporters outside the Harris Truman Building near the White House. And this is all part of the the cuts. The Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the cuts will make the diplomatic department more efficient and more focused. Now, you know there isn't much of a story here. Well, there's a good story. There's good news. Bureaucrats at the State Department are getting laid off. That's great, great news. A little disappointing because I'd prefer that rather than lay them off that they were, they would all be escorted into a giant SpaceX rocket and launched directly into outer space. So that's what I mean. That's the policy I would prefer. But I'll take the layoffs if that's all we can get. So it is good news, but not much more to say about than that you would think that is until you see the hysterics. The Performance from these bureaucrats who did not take the layoffs with poise and dignity. They did not comport themselves in an honorable and respectable way, of course. Instead they treated this like a national catastrophe, A catastrophe of indeed global proportions. So Reuters was on the scene. The whole media was there for this whole, this whole scene. And of course the media also is part of this, treating it like this, this disaster, this great tragedy. And let's watch some of the footage of these State Department workers as they're, as they're leaving the building distraught here. It's, this is also self sabotage, pulling.

Pam Bondi (29:29)

People back from the front lines when we really need them most.

Matt Walsh (29:32)

Now that we have the tensions in the Middle east, ascendance, China and aggressive Russia, what are we doing, Paul?

Pam Bondi (29:39)

Pulling back the people who know how to deal with these tensions in the world.

Matt Walsh (29:43)

And to those that have been rift, to those that have been fired today, I just want to say I'm sorry. So they're shaking, they're crying, they're clapping for themselves, they're giving speeches into megaphones. You know, that's the whole scene. I mean, just look at this picture. This is from the New York Post article that I just read from. And this is the, the top picture. And you have two people embracing, a woman breaking down in tears. Inconsolable. Okay? This is not someone with one dignified tear streaming down the cheek. Not that any tear could be dignified, but this is not so just one. This is full on hysterical crying and she's being embraced by this, this other guy. Now you look at that picture. Take out the people that are clapping in the background and focus on just this, this sad sight in the foreground. And if you look at that, it literally looks like a scene outside of a school shooting. Right? I'm not even trying to be funny. If I, if I, if I showed you those two people and I asked you to guess what was going on here, you would guess that there was a school shooting and that this is the scene in the parking lot. I mean, we've seen scenes just like that, like that, almost that exact photo we've seen, unfortunately, countless times in the parking lots of schools when there's a school shooting. And so the point is, you would think that something horrifically tragic had happened. You would think that people died, children died, and instead what actually happened is that a few bureaucrats lost their job. And yes, it is a few because 1300 as a total. Well, that's out of 80,000 State Department employees. So that's what, like 1 or 2% of the workforce. Now layoffs like this happen every day in the private sector, okay? Companies will wipe out 5%, 10%, 20% of their workforce. And when that happens, you never see any of these theatrics. Nobody's breaking down in tears in the street. There's no line of people applauding them. There's no speeches in the megaphones. There's no outraged headlines. I mean, rarely are there any outrage headlines. There's Reuters is not on the scene filming everything. You only get this when government employees are let go. Which of course is an argument for letting more of them go. Because these people are useless, self important, self aggrandizing, self pitying, obnoxious, and we need to fire way more of them. And by the way, if you work in the government, if you work in the federal government and you wonder why people hate you so much. Well, this is why, okay? It's this exact thing that I just explained, okay. It's that. It's that people get. There are layoffs in the private sector every single day and you don't care about them, right? You're not weeping over that. You're not expecting anyone to weep over. It's only when you get let go, you expect the entire country to stop and mourn and put the flags at half mast and treat it like there was a hurricane, right? And 600 people died. Okay? That's why people hate you. It's for that reason and the fact that you're listening to me right now and still going, well, I don't. What's the problem? I don't get it. Yeah, well, right, but why is that. Yes, exactly that, that you actually think that you are. That, that you're in this, this different class and that you're entitled to your job. That you have a right to it. And that like the, the well being of the entire globe rests on your shoulders that you think that in, when in reality, the vast majority of you who work in the federal government are useless, are totally useless. You could, you could evaporate, you could be whisked away, you could be raptured up, you could disappear, right? 80% of you and no one would ever notice. So that's the reality and that's why people can't stand you. And I haven't even, we haven't even gotten to the best part yet. So here's what the inside of the building looked like when this was all happening. Check this out. You can see employees put up these, these little notes, these posters as a tribute to their, their Fallen comrades. And the notes say, thank you for your service. Your work left an impact. But it appears that the posters were written in crayon. Each letter is a, is a, a different color taped to the wall. And as many people have pointed out on social media, this looks like a preschool. This looks like this is the kind of thing you would expect to see in a kindergarten classroom. This is what you expect to see on the walls when they do a stupid kindergarten graduation. Because these days there's a graduation ceremony for every grade. So they. This is what you expect to see, right? We'll miss you. Great job. It's like all the kids did all year was take naps and play with Play doh, which is also basically what state department employees are doing. They're taking naps and playing with Play doh. I mean effectively. And so some grown adult, a person on a tax funded salary, sat down with colored pencils and a poster board and wrote these messages using a different color for each letter. I don't know why, like that detail in particular is, is just sticks out to me. There's something about that seems small, but because that's what a child does. That is what if my 5 year old daughter sat down to make a poster? That's what she would do. She would, she's like, that's how you make the poster pretty if you're a five year old girl. Is every, every letter. Look, daddy, every letter is a different color. And this was like a 47 year old woman, right, who's been on a tax funded salary for 25 years and that's what she was doing with her time. It's, it's humiliating. So we have a government overrun by egomaniacs who have the maturity and intelligence of children. And, and so that's what it tells me. And that's why so many more need to be fired. And it's why, it's why, you know, I generally am not happy to see people lose their jobs, but in this case, yeah, I'm happy. I am so happy. You deserve to lose your jobs. You are useless. You are leeches. You're parasites who have just been bilking this country of billions of dollars every single year, contributing absolutely nothing. And so you deserve your jobs. I'm very happy that you did. All right, here's a, here's another story for her. There's a, and there's an image that goes along with it. There's another image. I'll show you the image in a moment, but here's the Fox News report. It says prosecutors in Colorado plan to drop charges against a registered sex offender accused of trying to kidnap a child from an elementary school because he was found incompetent to stand trial. The 18th District, 18th Judicial District Attorney's office, which covers Arapaho county, includes Aurora and Littleton, informed Fox31 on Friday that intends to dismiss charges against Solomon Galligan. The 33 year old faces one count of attempted kidnapping after he allegedly tried to take an 11 year old boy during recess at Black Forest Hills elementary School in April of 2024. Aurora Police previously reported the Galligan as a registered sex offender and he went underwent a mental competency evaluation that determined he was unfit to stand trial. As a result, prosecutors claim they have no choice but to drop the charges. Okay, so this is a registered sex offender who attempted to abduct a child, which that is not in dispute, by the way. It's on video. There's actually surveillance video of this, this guy walking up and trying to take a child. So it's, there's no, it's, it's. The fact that it happened is beyond dispute, but charges are being dropped, meaning that this guy will be released back into society. Zero punishment, zero consequences. Okay, now here's the picture and you're already expecting. This is a guy, a registered sex offender, tried to kidnap a child. This is, you know, probably going to look like a pretty disturbing individual, but you don't even know the half of it until you see the picture. And this was posted by Right Angle News network on X. Here it is. So you see there on the left, the district attorney, Amy Patton. So of course it's a liberal female D A And then not, not exactly the greatest thing to look at herself. But. And then on the left you have, or, or I suppose on the, on the right, from our perspective, you have the. You have the walking dead. You have what appears to be a zombie in an advanced state of decomposition. Like, this is the zombie that shows up in the zombie movie five years after the outbreak. This is like five or 10 years later. This is the. No, it's like a zombie TV series. This is season four, right, where the zombies are mostly decomposed. And that's this person. This is a creature from a horror film, except this is real life. And this is a registered sex offender invading school property to abduct a child. Now, obviously it should be obvious that anyone who kidnaps or attempts to kidnap a child or commits any other kind of violent or sexual crime against a child should simply be executed. They should be charged. They should be convicted in a court of law and then lawfully executed for their crimes. Every single person convicted of any crime like this, whether the crime was attempted or successfully completed, either way, they should all just be executed. And these are people that should not be walking around on the planet anymore. They don't deserve to be justice and common sense calls for them to be removed from the earth permanently. Should we make an exception for the mentally incompetent? No, that is insane. The whole mentally incompetent thing makes no sense. It is incoherent, as I've argued many times. Like, first of all, by definition, anyone who would kidnap a child is not, by the standards of normal people, mentally competent. Anyone who would commit a violent crime against a child is sick in the head by definition. No normal, mentally fit, well adjusted person would ever do that. That's not something that a mentally fit person would do. So the whole thing where we take someone who committed this kind of crime and we, well, we got to get him, we got to get him psychoanalyzed. We got to get them, we have to, we have to get them tested to see if they're mentally fit. What do you mean mentally fit? Like, what is that? I don't know what that means exactly, but what if you have just a normal definition of mental fitness? No, of course they're not, but we don't need any test. We have them on camera trying to abduct a child from a, from a playground. So, yeah, we already know that they're not. So should we just release all child predators back into society? Can you find one single child predator in prison right now who has what you would call a healthy mental state? Can you go and find a single child predator who would you would consider to be a, a picture of perfect mental health? Of course not. Again, by definition. So either we should release all of them from prison on that basis, or we can do the sane and just and reasonable thing and remove all of them from society after they've been convicted of their crimes. The argument for releasing someone because they're mentally incompetent is, is that, well, you know, they didn't understand that what they were doing was wrong. They didn't understand. Now, I don't buy that. First of all, I never buy that in these cases where, oh, they did. They didn't know what they were doing. They didn't. Yeah, this guy ran away. He tried to evade the police. If he didn't know it was wrong, why did he run? This is the funny thing about all these criminals were always Told by the courts. Oh, well, they didn't understand. They didn't know. Rip. What? Like, they always run. They always fight the cops. If he really didn't know that it was wrong, then what should have happened is that. Is that he should have just been hanging out on the playground until the cops came, and then when they approached him, he should. He should have said, but. Oh, are you looking for me? Yeah. I tried to kidnap a child. What about it? Wait, what? Oh, we're not supposed. We're not allowed. Really? That's wrong. I didn't know. I had no clue. Oh, you're not allowed to do that. That's what would have happened if he honestly didn't know that you're not supposed to do that. But that never happens with these allegedly incompetent criminals who supposedly don't know what they're doing. They always run. They all. It's the same thing. They always try to get away with the crime. They try to get away with it clumsily or unconvincingly. Right. Because these are stupid people. But they know what they're doing is wrong. They clearly know. But regardless, also, who cares? Even if. Oh, he didn't know what? Well, okay, like, that's all the more reason to remove him from society if he really didn't know. If you're telling me that they are so mentally incompetent they can't. That they can't stop themselves from committing unspeakable crimes and they don't even understand that committing those crimes is wrong, then that's all the more reason to remove them from society forever, Permanently. Okay, I know that's a very. That's a. These days, to say that is really. That makes people very upset. It's a very scandalous notion. Are you saying we should execute people who are mentally. Yes. Yes. If they're da. Yes. If they're a danger to children, if they're sex predators. If they're child predators. Yes. Absolutely, we should. Because whatever you're like, evil is evil for. Okay, first of all, so the idea that, well, he's evil, but he's also really stupid, and so we shouldn't hold him accountable for being evil. What? Why? Why shouldn't we? Since when is being really stupid a, you know, an excuse for committing acts of evil? Have you noticed that there are a lot of really stupid people who don't do that? There are a lot of really stupid, low IQ people, mentally deficient people who don't go around trying to kidnap kids. Did you notice that? So how do you explain that? How do you. How do we explain the fact that there are all. There are, like, millions of mentally deficient people who are not danger, a danger to kids, and there are some who are. How do you explain it? Well, because the ones who are, are evil. We explain it the same way we explain smart people. There are smart people who are dangerous to society and smart people who aren't. How do you explain that? Well, because the ones who are, are evil and should be held accountable for it. I don't care what your IQ is. And even aside from any of that, all you're telling me is that this is someone who cannot be rehabilitated, Cannot be. And, you know, in the old days, there was no, like, up until relatively recently, there was no, oh, we got to do an IQ test. We got to get psychoanaly. We got to get the therapists and psychologists in here. Up until very recently, it was, oh, you committed a violent, heinous crime against a child. Yeah, you're going to be. We're going to hang you. You're going to, we're going to convict you. We're going to take you up to the gallows. We're going to hang you, and that's it. We don't care what your IQ is. Doesn't make a difference. And of course, we're too. We're too civilized for that now. We're too civilized and enlightened. And so in our civilized. And so the civilized and enlightened approach is to just allow child sex predators to run rampant in the street and victimize kids. That, that's, that's the, that's the civilized, enlightened thing to do. All right. They were really coming out swinging after vacation. Like I said, I've been bottling it all up. Here's. Well, it's also, you also have to understand, I was, I was. I'm on vacation. I don't pay attention to the news. I don't. I'm totally in a bubble. I don't, I don't look at, you know, I don't. I have no temptation. I don't. I don't. I'm not on Twitter. I don't look at the news. I don't want to talk about it. If anyone tries to come up to me on vacation there, hey, you hear what's happening in the news? No, I don't. Don't talk to me about it. I don't. I don't have any take. I have no opinion. So I'm in this bubble, and then I Come back and it's like, this is what I see. It's like all Epstein child sex predators. It's like, it's. I don't know how else I can react to it. So. But here's a report from cnn. Here's. So we'll just do one thing that I think is some, maybe some good news from my perspective. Anyway, report from CNN revealing that their decades of climate hysteria propaganda apparently aren't working. Isn't working. And here it is. Watch.

CNN Reporter (47:34)

Are Americans afraid of climate change? And the answer is Americans aren't afraid of climate change. Climate activists have not successfully made the case to the American people. I want you to take a look here. Greatly worried about climate change. We have data going all the way back since 1989.

Matt Walsh (47:51)

Look at that.

CNN Reporter (47:51)

It was 35%. 2000, 40%, 20, 20, 40, 46%, and 20, 25, 40%, which is the exact same percentage as back in 2000. Despite all of these horrible weather events, the percentage of Americans who are greatly worried about climate change has stayed pretty gosh darn consistent, which kind of boggles the mind a little bit, granted, everything that we see on our television screens, our computer screens, the hurricanes, tornadoes, the flooding, but yet, greatly worried about climate change. 40% in 20, 20, 25. The exact same percentage as back in 2000.

Matt Walsh (48:23)

So there we go. It's been pretty dark. So that we lighten the mood with some encouraging news. And this is very encouraging, you know, and we, we don't really talk about the collapse of the climate change narrative the same way that we talk about the collapse of the LGBT narrative or the BLM narrative. All three of these have caved in on themselves at basically the same time because they're part of the same structure. They're basically rooms inside the same building. But we don't talk enough about the climate change room collapsing. And I think it's because it's just like a boring topic, which it is. And yet it is remarkable that there's been this full court press, this overwhelming push by all of the most powerful institutions in our culture for decades now to get us to buy into this nonsense, to get us to panic over climate change. And at the end of all that, even by CNN's own estimation, they've convinced by population percentage, no one as many people are worried about climate change today as we're worried about it 20 years ago, 25 years ago. And think about all that's happened since then. Al Gore, you know, and the Inconvenient Truth, AOC pushing the Green New Deal. Greta Thunberg, on and on and on, right? Countless examples of climate change propaganda in movies and shows, music, entire blockbuster films centered around this idea. They've, they've flooded the zone with it, they've shoved it in our faces everywhere. They tried to indoctrinate, they've got, this is all over the schools. They've indoctrinated or tried to multiple generations of kids into this idea. And yet here we are and still basically nobody cares. And you know, you got to really think about this. The, the, the left wing climate change propaganda has basically failed. LGBT propaganda succeeded for a while, but it's, it's now failing. BLM fell apart. I mean, gun control propaganda has always failed. That has never worked in this country. They've never, they haven't made it anywhere on that. They've, I mean, there are certainly gun grabbers out there and people who believe in gun control, but I don't, it's, they have not convinced the majority of Americans on that at all. So you go down the list and you find that leftism actually fails to capture the hearts and minds of the population. And yet there's no doubt that they control the culture. There's no doubt that we currently live in a society largely shaped by leftist ideas, by leftist ideology. And when you look at any one of these issues individually, kind of in the micro, it seems like they haven't convinced anyone of anything. And yet they, they also still seem to be in control of the culture. How is that? Well, because it's a matter of control. It's because they control the institutions. It's a top down thing. They don't make a compelling case. They don't speak to the heart or the mind or the soul of a person, but they control the institution so they can force, you know, their failing ideology on us. It's like, it's like living in a, in a, in a country with a dictator who's, who's despised by the people and nobody likes him, nobody believes in him, but he has control. And, and the only answer is to topple him and seize back control. In our case, it's the same thing to seize back the institutions. It's the, it's the only way to really be rid of this, of this cancerous force. So that was my version of a positive story. That was a. And it ends with getting rid of cancerous forces. So that's, it always comes back to that. Being a husband, father and host of my own show means life never slows down. Imagine trying to eat 31 different foods and vegetables every single day.

Her brand new show premieres this fall exclusively on Daily Wire Plus. But don't worry, there's plenty more on the way as we celebrate a decade of Daily Wire. Yes, we're celebrating our victories because who doesn't love winning? But we're also fighting harder than ever. The left wants to silence your voice. We make it louder. They want open borders. We demand law and order. They want drag shows for kids. We make documentaries that expose the truth. They cancel. We create. This is the time to be a part of the community that fights back and wins. Go to DailyWirePlus.com and join the fight today. Now let's get to our daily cancellation for our first daily cancellation. As I return from my years long vacation, I must cancel Chip and Joanna Gaines. Those are the two former HGTV personalities who achieved world renowned for remodeling houses. And by remodeling, I mean painting everything white, throwing some shiplap up on the walls and calling it a day. And now they own a company called Magnolia which sells home decor, among other things. You can go to their website or I think they're at Target and you can buy some great Magnolia decor, like, you know, like a, like a rusty tin bucket that you place next to your fireplace or whatever for some reason, or a sign that you hang in your kitchen that says kitchen. The great news is that you can also buy both in a bundle deal at a discounted price of just $735.99. Aside from being purveyors of expensive tin buckets, Chip and Joanna are also still in the TV business with their own Production company, and more importantly, Chip and Joanna are, they say, Christians. Indeed, their supposed Christian identity has been a very prominent part of their brand, and it's why they've amassed a loyal fan base that consists almost entirely of Christian stay at home moms between the ages of like, 32 and 55. My wife is one of them, or was. And that's what made it so confusing for their fans when it was announced recently that they have produced a new reality show for HBO Max called Back to the Frontier. The show takes three families, dresses them like 19th century pioneers, and challenges them to live for eight weeks as if they're cattle ranchers somewhere out on the Great Plains in 1881. Now, so far, based on the premise, there's no reason to object, except for the fact that the show is certainly going to be almost entirely fake. But that's not what has upset their Christian fan base. The problem, the thing that has got Christians riled up, and rightfully so, should be immediately obvious when you see the trailer for the show. Here it is. Selfie.

Participant (55:13)

Going back to the frontier is going to be life changing for all of us.

Jesse Waters (55:17)

We want to go backward so that we can go forward in the right direction.

Pam Bondi (55:21)

Makeup and jewelry removal there, please. Lip gloss at least. Right?

Matt Walsh (55:25)

Everything must go.

Jesse Waters (55:27)

I want my kids to learn humility and hard work.

Pam Bondi (55:29)

All of your tech in here, please.

Participant (55:31)

Are you guys ready to get rid of these devices?

Matt Walsh (55:33)

No, no.

Pam Bondi (55:35)

I'm in a loss for words that I have to give up all of.

Matt Walsh (55:37)

This to go back to the front. Welcome to your frontier. Oh, my God.

Participant (55:49)

This is really it. This is all we have.

Matt Walsh (55:51)

There's only two beds. I'm not sharing a bed. Why are we complaining about this?

Participant (55:55)

I didn't anticipate it'd be this difficult just to find three vegetables for dinner tonight.

Pam Bondi (56:00)

We sit on that.

Jesse Waters (56:01)

It's the 1800s.

Matt Walsh (56:03)

Well, there's the problem. Not the black family, but the one we saw right before them. That was the two men and two kids. That's a gay male couple with two children. Two boys, specifically, because gay couples almost always seem to adopt boys. H. I mean, that's not something we're supposed to notice or ask any questions about. They certainly don't want you to think about that while you're watching Back to the Frontier, a show that might more rightly be called DEI on the Frontier. Although, of course, if this is actually true to life, the season would be one episode long and the episode would last about five minutes before everyone dies, because that's what. What would actually happen if you attempted to apply DEI principles to the American frontier. But this is not true to life. And more to the point, as it concerns the Christian couple that produced this nonsense, it is not true to the Bible. The point of including this couple is very explicitly to promote and normalize same sex, quote unquote marriage and same sex, quote unquote families. The gay couple in an interview said that explicitly recently. Listen, how did you hear about this opportunity? Who was more invested from the jump? Who took more convincing? I want to know that whole story.

Participant (57:11)

When I first saw the flyer on social media, there was a gay couple on the flyer. And so that initially kind of sparked my interest and I was very much intrigued in learning more about the show and kind of what, what that experience was going to be. It's super honored that, that when they were choosing three modern day families that they did choose the same size couple as a modern day family because we are like we are your neighbors and your co workers. And so it was this great, amazing opportunity to normalize same sex couples and same sex families.

Matt Walsh (57:44)

Now why would a wholesome Christian couple provide this kind of exciting opportunity to a gay couple? The Bible, which all Christians must by definition affirm as the inerrant word of God, makes itself very clear on this topic, no matter how you personally feel about it. The homosexual act is condemned in Romans 1:26, 1 Corinthians 6, 9, 10, as disordered, immoral, depraved, shameful. Several other verses across the Old and New Testaments say the same. The book of Genesis prescribes that a man must leave his parents and become one flesh with his wife. It is all exceedingly, incontrovertibly clear, which is why Christian moral teaching on the subject above homosexual relationships has been unanimous for 2,000 years. And this is something that should matter to Chip and Joanna, since they claim to be Christians. And even if they weren't Christians, there would still be plenty of reasons to object to two men adopting children and to a show that promotes that kind of arrangement. Every child needs and deserves and naturally has a mother and a father. The mother and father united in marriage are the two pillars that the institution of the of the family is built upon. To intentionally deprive a child of one of these pillars is an act of unspeakable evil. And this used to be widely understood, which is why gay adoption was illegal nearly everywhere in the country up until just a few years ago. And it was legalized not for the sake of the children, not because it was somehow discovered that it's good or healthy for them to be adopted by same sex couples. But for the sake of these same sex couples themselves, it was decided that couples who by their nature cannot conceive children still somehow have a right to children, which is a concept that any rational person, even one who isn't Christian, should be able to see as the abhorrent nonsense that it is. But Chip and Joanna Gaines are apparently not rational or Christian. And if there's any doubt about that, Chip alleviated it with his response to his Christian fans who've expressed concern about his decision to promote gay couples and gay adoption. On Sunday, Chip posted this to X Talk. Ask questions, Listen, maybe even learn Too much to ask of modern American Christian culture. Judge first, understand later, never. It's a sad Sunday when non believers have never been confronted with hate or vitriol until they're introduced to a modern American Christian. Now, no surprise there, a fake Christian in the public eye is called out for promoting, you know, sin and worldliness. And he responds by accusing his critics of being judgmental bigots. We've seen this play about a thousand times before, but I have to wonder, what does Chip want us to learn exactly? He says we need to learn. Okay, well tell us, Chip. Do you want to teach us about how the Bible actually supports the idea that men can get married and have children? Do you want to show us how Christian teaching through the centuries has actually supported your view but billions of Christians throughout history just couldn't see it? Is that it? Has the pro gay adoption message in Scripture been hidden in code this whole time? Have we had to wait for 2000 years until a couple of HGTV hosts could come along and reveal it to us? Is there something in the book of Revelation about how two people named Chip and Joanna Shiplap enthusiasts would come along 20 centuries after Christ to completely upend everything we thought we knew about the fundamental moral teachings of the faith? Is that it, Chip? If so, then please teach us. Tell us what you know. Explain exactly how you harmonize your pro gay marriage and gay adoption views with the Bible. I'd be fascinated to hear, but I doubt you'll ever explain it because you know that you can. Instead, you'll regurgitate the weak liberal platitudes that you hear from your pastor at whatever pseudo Christian megachurch you attend and continue in rake, continue raking in your millions from the very people who you have now made it clear don't respect and. And who you don't even like. And that is why you and your wife are both today I'm afraid, canceled. And that'll do it for the show today. And we'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great day. Godspeed.
