You know, from the beginning of the pandemic, we've been harangued and harassed by people screaming at us that we're all in this together. But it's also been clear from the beginning that's some asterisks were needed, you know, for that phrase. Actually, every word needs one. What do they mean by we? Who is we? And what do they mean by in this? In what,

exactly? And in what sense are we, whoever we are in whatever we're in, together? These questions are left unanswered, but the powers that be continued to insist on this framing in ways and in contexts that are increasingly creepy and Orwellian. So case and point just yesterday, Boston mayor Michelle Wu became the latest big city mayor to impose strict vaccine mandates that will exclude unvaccinated people to include young children from participation in pretty much every aspect of everyday life. She's calling this policy her be-together initiative. That's really what they're calling it. A policy which segregates thousands of city residents from everybody else and prevents them for participating in society is called the Be Together initiative. Here she is explaining it. Today we're announcing that Boston will be implementing a requirement for proof of COVID-19 vaccination for certain indoor spaces, which we're calling our B-Together initiative.

Be Together will require proof of vaccination to enter indoor dining. Well, three categories, just so you can keep the count. indoor dining, including bars and restaurants. Secondly, indoor fitness venues such as gyms. And third, indoor entertainment, recreational and event venues, such as theater shows or sports games. Starting January 15th, customers or patrons ages 12 and up, and employees at these locations will be required to show proof that they've received at least one dose of the vaccine. And this will phase into requiring two doses.

on February 15th. We're also setting dates for children to be vaccinated to enter these spaces beginning in March. Yes, we're going to bar them from certain indoor spaces to include all of them, you know, all of the indoor spaces. But we must all be together. Yeah, we must all be together. Now, get the hell out, you sick, filthy bastards. Quite an inspiring message. And it's a message that we're hearing with increasing regularity and ferocity, supposedly in response to the Omnicorn variant. But the attempt to fearmonger over Omnicorn has gone wrong in some kind of hilarious ways. Just this morning, CNN brought the CEO of Northwell Health on the air, which runs dozens of hospitals in the New York area. And instead of getting the scary message

they were clearly hoping for, instead the guy can hardly keep himself from yawning as he discusses the very mild COVID situation in New York at the moment. Listen. Yeah, we're doing very, very well, very manageable. There's no crisis. So let me just give you a little bit of perspective. We have right now about 460 patients in our hospitals. That's less than 10% of our overall capacity. And this time last year, during the second wave, we had almost 1,000 cases this time last year. And compared to where we were back in the first wave, we had 3,500 patients. in our hospitals. So when you look at the numbers today, they're relatively modest. And that have been increasing, you know, relatively slowly since Thanksgiving. We do expect an increase now

over the holidays, but it is all manageable. We will be able to deal with this. And I think it's time for people to get, be a little bit calm, you know, a little bit more rational. And while the positivity rate in the community is increasing dramatically, that does not mean that they are dramatically convert into hospitalizations. I love that. Look, everyone be calm. Everything's fine. There's no problem.

And my favorite part is the CNN anchor visibly pouting. You could see him. He's pouting as he's told that there's no crisis. Everything's fine. Like, no, people really aren't dying from this very much. And everything's fine. We've got plenty of hospital beds. And this guy, he's distraught.

I feel bad for him. I mean, I'm sorry, CNN anchor, that more people aren't dying from this. I know it's tough for you. Tough break for CNN. Really sorry about that. But this isn't going to stop the power mad despots like Mayor Wu or de Blasio or Biden or Foucher, any of the rest of them, from ranting about the dangers, the winter of sickness and death that's upon us, and instituting more Orwellian policies all under the guise of we're all in this together.

Let's stay together, be together. But what does that really mean? Well, when they say it, we must understand that coming from them, we means you. And this refers not to COVID, but to their control. And together is not intended to be understood as any sort of consensual unity. They mean together in the way that hostages during a bank robbery might be together, bound at gunpoint. So we're in this together means you are under their control. And that's how they can justify segregation, division, separation, exclusion,

in the name of togetherness. We can still be together in the sense that they mean the phrase, even as we're divided like wheat from the chaff, and some portion of us are cast into the furnace. And yet as we look around, we see that another, just today, another well-known Democrat, this time disgraced, pervert, Katie Hill used to be in Congress,

but she couldn't stop having sex with her staff members, and now she's not in Congress anymore. She was diagnosed today with COVID. She is double-vaxed and boosted. She joined Senator Elizabeth Warren, who was triple jabbed, still came up positive for COVID this week. Senator Cory Booker, another one. CNBC host Jim Kramer is down with COVID now too, despite having three shots. Democrat Representative Jason Crow has COVID now to, along with his three shots of the vaccine.

This is all just this week. An outbreak in Congress happening at the same time as an outbreak during in the NFL among fully vaccinated NFL players. Lots of people who've gotten three dozen. of the vaccine in less than a year are getting sick. But we can't ask any questions about that. You know, I recently had to go and get a tetanus booster after getting a rusty nail stuck in my foot, which wasn't a really fun experience. But they recommended it because it had been more than 10 years after my last shot.

And that makes sense to me. A booster after 10 years makes sense. I get that conceptually. I can understand how, and I understand how you would call that a, booster. But a booster after six months? Is that a booster shot or more of a wait, this isn't working? Let's try another one shot. Is it a booster or a do-over? That's a question, but these are questions we're not allowed to ask. Whatever you call the third shot or the first two, it's clear enough that people who got all three shots or two shots are contracting and spreading

the disease. Lots of them are. The vaccine. doesn't stop transmission. If there's compelling evidence that the vaccine even significantly slows transmission, I haven't seen it, though I'd love to see it if it exists. That's why the vaccine mandates are not reasonable. I mean, leaving aside the ethical issues and the constitutional issues, those small details, these measures are not a rational response to the situation because vaccinated people are spreading it also. We are all potential carriers. We can all catch it and spread it. As it is written, there is no one righteous, not even one. Well, it might also be written that there is no one immune from spreading COVID, not even one. They want to separate us into

classes of clean and unclean, but it turns out that I guess we're all unclean. And maybe there's a certain beauty in that, a certain unity. Because it turns out they were right all along, though not for the reasons they thought. We really are all in this together, I guess. Now let's get to our five headlines. Well, you might not know that the garage is the most frequently accessed entry to most people's homes, but even in spite of that, it's often overlooked. The garage is still where people, you know, come and go, and they also keep a lot of their most prize possessions there,

including cars, tools, and bikes and everything else. So it's just kind of common sense to know what's going on inside the garage.

So a little bit more on Omnicorn because I think that this is just really important. With all the fear mongering going on in the media, even if you know better, it's easy to fall victim to it. Because the more this is drilled into your head, after a while, it kind of breaks down your defenses. But that's why we have to continue to highlight the fact that when we're talking about Omnicorn, it's an extremely mild illness. According to all the data that we have. And according to the, this is how you can tell the real public health experts, the real doctors. from the fake ones?

Because the real doctors are on TV saying, look, this is not a big deal for most people. And then you see how that message gets filtered through people like Fauci in the way that he interprets that. So here is, this is in the New York Post talking about the telltale symptoms of the surging Omnicorn variant. It says a noted British doctor is highlighting several symptoms that distinguish the Omnicorn variant from the common cold and even other strains of COVID-19,

including drenching night sweats. Dr. Amir Khan described the distinguishing episodes as those kinds of drenching night sweats where you might have to get up and change your clothes. The other telltale symptoms of Omnicorn are a scratchy throat as opposed to a sore one, a dry cough, fatigue, and muscle aches. He said, quote, this is important. It's important that we keep on top of these symptoms. if we're going to track Omnicorn and track it worldwide,

we need to be able to test people with these symptoms. So those are the telltale signs of the Omnicorn variant. Night sweats, which, I mean, that's unpleasant when you wake up at night and you're drenched with sweat. A scratchy throat. You're tired. You have some sore muscle aches. Now, I know they say that this is what distinguishes it from the common cold,

but the fact that you can confuse it, the fact that so many people might confuse it with a common cold, I think tells you something. Because to me, I read this and this sounds like a relatively mild illness. This is basically a cold. That's what it is. For all intensive purposes, for most people. And again, the doctor who originally alerted the world about the Omnicorn variant,

she has been ever since then. You know, she did the right thing. This is a variant that's out there. Let's tell people about it. And that was the right thing to do. But then the world freaked out. And ever since then, she's been on TV saying, everyone calm down. This is not a big, it's really not anything to panic over.

So she was also on CNN. She's with the same anchor, I think, John Berman, talking about the situation in South Africa right now after Omnicorn surge through, swept through. And it's only been a couple of weeks. I mean, we first heard about this right around Thanksgiving. And what's the situation right now? Because keep something else in mind. When you look at the hospital data, the mortality, we looked at some of those graphs yesterday, some of those charts.

And you can see that there's a very distinct separation between cases and hospitalizations and deaths. Because cases, yeah, cases are surging. That line is going up. Okay, that graph is, that's a mountain right there. that's like a mountainous peak of cases. But then you look at hospitalizations and death, and they're all the way down here. They're lagging far behind. If you go back a year ago, you'll find that obviously the hospitalization and death line was much lower than the cases line,

but they were tracking in kind of the same direction. As cases went up, so did, if cases, if there was a dramatic rise in cases, there'd be a dramatic rise in hospitalizations and deaths. We're not seeing that right now. thank God. But one thing that we're told from the panic porn peddlers is that, well, hospitalizations and death, deaths, they lag behind cases. So just because we're seeing, we're not seeing that a bunch of people are dying right now, that doesn't mean that they won't die in the future. They tell us hopefully. Because that's what they want.

They actually, they want people to die of this. So they can continue selling the fear. But that's why I think it's important to go to South Africa. Okay, if it's been, it's been several weeks now. And if hospitalizations and deaths lag behind cases, then we should see now in South Africa, after this thing tore through the country, we should see that people are dying left and right. Is that the case? Let's check in with the doctor.

Doctor, we're thrilled to have you because I think in the United States, we can learn a lot about your experience over the last month. You've been dealing with this now for quite a long time. We're just beginning to deal with it now. So I just want to start with cases. What are you seeing in terms of the number of cases at this point? Up, down, stable, what? Good year afternoon. Yes, it's very interesting question.

What we currently see is our cases is sort of, we're over the curve. It's sort of coming down. You know, in Halting, which was the epicenter, the number is much, lower. It is, however, still spreading to the western Cape and Quasidunatal because of the holidays. But, you know, all in total, if you look at our numbers, it's going down. Our positivity rate still stays high, it's around about 30 percent. And the reason is that people go and test. Okay, so that's what you're here. There's a very steep drop-off in cases. And then that's cases, But then when we go over to deaths, which they talk about later, in fact, I can look at the graph right now in South Africa.

They have a seven-day average of deaths at 44 in the entire country. And for comparison's sake, you could look back in January last year in the winter. And their seven-day average was five, at its peak, the seven-day average was five hundred and 77. So a peak of 57, seven-day average, and now they're down to 44. after this dreaded variant of Omnicorn ripped through the country and got everybody sick. This is all very, very positive news. If you are irrational and moral person and you don't want people to die, and you actually want to be past all of this, then this is very good news.

As I've been saying for weeks now, this, to me as a non-public health expert and as a non-doctor, okay i don't i don't claim to i'm unlike fouchy i'm not going to sit here and say that if you disagree with me you're disagreeing with the science i don't claim to be an avatar for science a representative of science um because nobody can be but even i can look at this information and see that well this could be the end this could be covid's end game this is a positive development what i just read was now they think that it's uh it's something like 70 percent of all covid cases in america I believe I'd have to check that again, but I'm pretty sure it's at seven, around 70% of all cases in America right now are the Omnicourt variant.

So this is the dominant strain in America. Now that tells you how infectious this thing is, that it was able to sweep through that quickly, but we haven't seen this stark rise and deaths. Okay, so that tells us again, it's very, it's very mild, and that's a good thing. COVID becomes basically a mild cold, that it's out there and it's kind of seasonal and people get it and most of them get over it and then you're fine. On COVID, I want to show you this as well. I don't know if you're ready to meet this

person. This is the most pathetic man potentially in the history of the internet. And I know that's quite a statement, but I think he's in the running anyway. He's in the competition. So this is a guy walking through an airport. Do we have these pictures? Oh, here we go. So this guy's name is Aidan. And by the way, of course, he has his pronouns listed in his bio. I didn't have to tell you that. And you can't really see his picture there very well. But he looks exactly as you expect him to look. And he says, spotted in the United Terminal at San Francisco Airport, I've been in four airports this week.

And far from travelers, far more travelers, flaunt the mask regulations in U.S. airports versus the Canadian ones. I hope I'm not sitting next to her on this red eye. And then you see a woman who's just like sitting on the phone without a mask on. and so he's taking a picture of this woman to publicly shame her. And by the way, he posted this to Twitter. This is against the rules now. This is supposed to be against the rules. They were very explicit about this.

To take a picture of someone and post it without their consent is against the rules that gets you banned. But he's walking through the whole airport and taking pictures of everyone. And then he gets another guy, man, watching something on his tablet at Gate E4. So there's just a guy watching something on his tablet. And he's taking a picture of this guy, no consent. And there's another guy. He takes a picture of him. I think there's one in the airplane as well.

So he's just walking through. Man with stylish backpack between Gates E4 and F5. So he's given the exact coordinates of these maskless people at the airport. I don't know for what reason. Does he think the FBI is going to swoop in? I'm not sure what exactly he's trying to accomplish. And that he's got man super spreader, gate F5. That guy is a super spreader.

Aiden has decided, and of course his name is Aden, by the way. Everything about this. When I first saw that, I thought this got to be some kind of parody. There's no way. This is too perfect. A guy named Aidan with a mustache and pronouns in his bio, walking through the airport, crying as he takes pictures of maskless people. But it's not a parody.

This appears to be completely real. And he's just determined that he's also decided, by the way, that all of these people are sick. And he goes on and on and on. How many pictures are there? Now he's taking pictures of minors, of kids. posting them online without consent, this is perfectly okay. Twitter's not going to take this down. All right, so we get the idea.

And he's decided that all of these people are sick. This is the way that his broken brain works now or fails to work. That every single person he sees, if he sees their face in public, they are direct threat to him. And they're all sick. And they're all super spreaders. I mean, that one guy was sitting by himself. There's no one else around. But he's now a super spreader.

This is, along with a mental illness, this is also pure cowardice. You know, C.S. Lewis said that courage is the form of every virtue at its testing point. And which means that, you know, you can't really have any other virtue if you don't have courage. because in order to act upon any virtue, in order to be virtuous, that also requires courage to act in that way. So then what does it mean when we become a country of cowards?

When we become a country like this with men, I hesitate to even call them a man, only in the biological sense of you, man. But what does that mean? And if we become a country of cowards, it means that we have no virtue at all. You get rid of courage, you get rid of all virtues. And these are people who are not only cowardly, but they have no shame.

I mean, there have always been cowards in the world, right? But in the past, you'd be ashamed of your cowardness. You wouldn't want to advertise it. If you found yourself walking through a public area, shaking like a leaf in fear, because you're afraid someone's going to get you sick, in the past you might have that experience if you're a very cowardly person, but you keep it to yourself. You wouldn't want other people to know. Now you've got people like Aidan advertising their cowardice for everyone to see.

They're proud of it. They're proud of being fearful cowards. That has become its own, in our upside down world, that has become its own virtue. Now it's almost as though cowardice is the form of every virtue at its testing point. All right, let's move on to this. Kim Potter's trial went to a jury deliberations yesterday. She's the officer who shot Dante Wright. And the jury went to deliberations yesterday, did not come to a verdict.

Here she is, I just wanted to play this for you. This is a couple of days ago during her testimony. She decided to take the stand in her own defense. And here she is kind of describing the scene. And when you watch this, describing what happened. with Dante Wright. And when you watch this, you got to think, okay, is this a remorseless killer?

Is this someone who really, who we feel needs to be punished in addition to the psychological and emotional torment that she's experiencing? I don't know. You watch this and you decide. This is Euphoria Calvin Klein, the new elixir collection, featuring three perfume intense scents,

yelling taser taser taser and nothing happened and then there are many scenes like that when she was testifying she was just totally broken by this experience that's that's pretty clearly not acting. I mean, this is someone who's

devastated. She's a normal woman, that's all. It's like a normal person who was thrown into this situation and did make a mistake. Nobody's denying that in this case.

I still think that that would have been the best defense actually would have been to say, well, I did it on purpose, but she's being honest. And there's also no getting around it because she says on tape that it was that it was an accident so she acknowledges that but um if if if it were possible to say that this was that this was done intentionally then there'd be no case at all because when you're dealing with a violent suspect who is fighting back against you and then tries to climb back into a

vehicle uh i think you have every right to shoot him because you don't know if he's grabbing for something you know he's wanted on a weapons charge you know he's a violent criminal so you don't if he's grabbing something. And even if he isn't, this is what I said about the Jacob Blake case. Yeah, Jacob Blake was armed. He was reaching. And then he was shot. And I guess, and that's the reason why that police officer was never brought up on any charges because he was reaching. But I would say, even if he didn't have a weapon, and even if somehow you knew he didn't have any weapons in the car, you'd still be justified in shooting him. I would have shot him. because when he gets into the car, that becomes a weapon.

A violent, dangerous suspect in a vehicle, that is now a, you know, a multi-ton weapon that he is going to be driving around at 60 plus, you know, 100 miles an hour or whatever. That becomes a giant battering ram, but he can run into anything. And then in Jacob Blake's case, also, there were kids in the car. And so I think taking the gun, taking the knife out of it, taking everything out of it, I think you're perfectly justified in shooting him dead right there to stop him from getting into the car. And I would say the same thing for Dante Wright. You cannot let him get in the car and start driving away because that's when people, that's when an innocent person might get killed.

That's when one of the cops might get killed. I mean, suspects use vehicles as weapons against police officers frequently. So if she had simply done it on purpose and said, yeah, I did it on purpose, then I think there'd be no case at all. in this case though we know it was an accident but now the question becomes you watch that testimony and you think about the whole situation does this seem like the sort of person

who we as a society need to punish is she someone who needs to be is she a danger to society does she need to be segregated from society she's already lost her job obviously she's not going to be police officer anymore you could you could certainly make the argument that she probably never should have been a police officer

but then, you know, that brings up a conversation that nobody wants to have about, about, there are a lot of female police officers out there who are not physically capable of dealing with violent male suspects. That's a conversation nobody really wants to have. So, if she's not a police officer anymore, is she a danger to society, does she need to be segregated from society for that reason? Clearly not. Is she some sort of remorseless sociopathic killer?

Clearly not. Did she make a mistake? Clearly she did. She feels terrible about it. It's probably already ruined her life. Not probably. It has. I don't know what throwing her in prison accomplishes. I look at this in some way similar to a tragic case where you hear about one of those things as a parent you worry about so much. A parent backing out of their driveway backs over their own child and kills them. you know, unless the parent was really being negligent and reckless and was a drug addict, and was, you know, like, unless there was something, unless there's some kind of exigent circumstances, normally when you look at that, you say, well, are you going to, you're going to put the parent in prison for that? Their life is already ruined. They, they, they are more distraught over this than anybody else. What, what does the punishment accomplish? Then it becomes just cruel, adding that on top of this tragic event, which has utterly ruined them. So it's, Similar to that, only not so similar on second thought because the child in that case is an innocent victim.

Dante Wright was not an innocent victim. And he was not a child. He's a grown man, violent criminal. And he's the one who created the situation. So when I look at Kim Potter on trial for her life, distraught, her life is ruined. You know who I blame for that? I blame Dante Wright. You know, I get angry at Dante Wright for doing that to her. he did that to her. If he was alive, he should be the one apologizing. Just like Jacob Blake should be the one apologizing to the police officer who had to shoot him. Because you're a violent scumbag. You've lived your whole life victimizing people at will, as Dante Wright did,

victimizing people in brutal, savage ways. And then you have a police officer simply trying to do their job to bring you in because you're a dangerous criminal. And that's what they're supposed to do. and you decided to fight because you don't care about the law, you don't care about the rules, you don't care about anybody, and a terrible accident happened in the process

and someone's life is ruined. A good person's life is ruined because of you. So I put the blame on Dante Wright. All right, let's go to this from the Daily Mail. It says, A hero Wisconsin mother of two died eight days after suffering severe injuries when she saved her four-year-old son

from being brutally attacked by the family's pit bull. Heather Pingel, 35 for Bowler suffered kidney failure, lung damage, and both of her arms had to be amputated after the pit bull viciously attacked her and her son. She was rushed to the Asperis Hospital where she died of her injuries on December 16th. Damien received 70 stitches to his leg and his back home recovering. That's her son, Damien. So she had both her arms amputated and then eventually she died. I bring this case up because it's a horrible case, but also yet again, I think it emphasizes that it's simply crazy to allow these animals to be owned in our neighborhoods.

This kind of thing, it happens every single year. It is not all that rare. Pit bulls are very dangerous animals. They're bred to be dangerous. They are unique. dangerous. Not every dog breed is equal in that sense. Some dog breeds are more dangerous. Pit bulls are the most dangerous because they're bred to be aggressive. They're bred to be fighting dogs. They're built like machines. And you could say all you want that, I have a pit bull, and he's so cute, and I put funny hats on him. And what I think is, he would never hurt anybody. No, he's an animal. Okay. And if he has a bad day or something snaps or something triggers, you know, someone does something innocent, but that triggers an instinctive reaction in the animal. He's going to become a death machine. Malling children, killing women. This happens every single year.

In fact, the website ban pit bulls.org, which I think they put their biases right there in the URL, but even so, the information is good. It says pit bull tax in the U.S. rose 700. So this, This information is a little bit old. But since 2014, it says pit bull attacks in the U.S. rose 773 percent between 2007 and 2014. In the 10-year period from 2005 to 2014, Pitbulls killed 200 Americans and accounted for 62 percent of the 3226 total recorded deaths by dog bites. And then it goes out with more statistics. Well, you can look up yourself. But vast majority of mallings happen by pit bulls.

Now, if you want to look at dog bites in general, including just like a nip on the hand, pit bulls might not be at the top there. Probably like a poodle would be at the top, but poodles aren't killing anybody. So severe mallings, Pipples by far and away responsible for most of them. They killed 200 people in the span of seven years. Now, yeah, you could say, well, you know, many more people. dive, car accidents every year, so on and so forth. But we're talking to hundreds of people mulled to death by animals, by animals that we allow into our communities. Why? So I know what the

argument is for not allowing pit bulls. Say ban pit bulls. The argument is that these can be very, very dangerous animals, uniquely dangerous, and they kill hundreds of people, and they mall thousands of people and and young kids get their faces ripped off. And so that's why we should not allow pit bulls. That's the argument for banning them. What is exactly is the argument for allowing them? The argument is they're cute. I like them. That's really the whole argument. That's just that that is not an argument. Pit bulls are not, this is not, we talk about the right to bear arms because I know that's another thing pit bull apologists will often make this comparison. Oh, well, What you're doing, this is just what the gun control crowd does with guns.

Yeah, you have a constitutional right to bear arms. There's no constitutional right to bear pit bulls. Pit bull's an animal. And there are all kinds of animals that you're not allowed to bring into neighborhoods. And I would think that most of us would agree with most of those laws. You can't bring a lion into most communities will not allow you to just own a lion and have it hanging around in the backyard. Is that an infringement of your constitutional rights? No, and why don't we allow lions?

Well, because, yeah, I mean, there are probably cases of people having domesticated lions and not getting mulled by them, but they are uniquely dangerous. These are wild animals. It presents a threat to the community, and there's just no good reason to do it. So your desire to have a lion does not outweigh the desire of your neighbor to not have his, child's face bitten off. That to me's the argument. Okay, this is from the New York Post that says the headline, Louis CK's new sorry special proves cancel culture isn't real, critics say. And the article says, Louis CK's sorry act is no laughing matter to some social media watchdogs. The controversial comic is hyping a new comedy special, as many viewers learn this weekend over a commercial break during

a very sparse episode of Saturday Live due to the fresh COVID-19 outbreak in New York City. the aptly titled sorry shot over the summer at Madison Square Garden is the 54-year-old comedians first since he faced numerous allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017. And that's actually not true. He's done a couple of comedy specials, so they're wrong about that. But anyway, he recorded this comedy special, and he streamed it on his website where you could go and buy it for $10, and that's where it was. It wasn't on Netflix, it wasn't on Amazon or anything like that. And there were a lot of leftists on social media who were saying, oh, you see, you say the cancel culture is real, but now Louis CK is still performing comedy. And he's got a comedy on his website. How does that negate the reality of cancel culture?

We know that Louis CK was canceled because this comedy special was not streamed on Netflix or Amazon prior to the scandal, right? this would be on Netflix and he would have gotten paid, you know, hundreds of millions of dollars to do a series of specials like Dave Chappelle has for Netflix. So he's doing this on his own website. He has been barred from most of these platforms. They're not going to go anywhere near him. They're not going to touch him. And he's not doing the late night shows to promote it like he would have done beforehand.

And he's got to just put it out on his website. So yeah, that still qualifies as canceling. It doesn't disprove anything. But it does make me wonder, you know, the advocates of cancel culture while they claim that it doesn't exist, what they really mean is that they think it should go a lot farther than it does. Because you're taking issue with Louis C.K. doing a comedy special and putting it up on his own website? You think he should be prevented from doing that? I mean, it's a free country. He's not in jail. He's a comedian. So this is what he does. this is his craft. And so he's still going to tell jokes. So what you seem to be saying, though, if you're on the side of, oh, this proves cancer culture isn't real, what you're really

saying is that you don't think that he should be able to do that. So walk me through that exactly. Somebody ends up in a scandal. They're not brought up in charges. They don't go to jail. So they're still a free person walking around. And somehow you think that they ought to be prevented from producing content and putting it on their own website? That's all he's doing. Or maybe it's because maybe we're saying cancel culture isn't real because, yeah, he's free to do the comedy that he wants to do and he's free to release it on his website. But what they're really taking issue with is that there's an audience for it. That's what they really are upset about. That probably, I don't think we have those numbers, but probably millions of people went and downloaded it.

And people still go to Louis C.K.'s shows. So maybe that proves that cancel culture isn't real. no you know what that proves here's what it proves it proves that louis c k whatever you think of him in his private life is a very good comedian and he's funny and so people still want to hear him tell jokes that's all that proves in fact if he can survive the scandal and still have an audience and still do these shows and that's that's just a testament to the fact that he's a very very good comedian And it also shows that a lot of people in the audience are able to separate a person's private life from their craft or their art. And if you're on the right, you've gotten very accustomed to this.

That's one of the reasons why there isn't much of a cancel culture on the right. There isn't one at all. I mean, the main reason, as I've said before, is that the left owns all of the institutions and cancel culture is something that is that happens from the top down. It's institutional power. You know, cancel culture is a mechanism. It's a tool of institutional power. The right doesn't have any institutional power. But the other thing is that I think people on the right don't really bother going after people for their things having their private life and scandals and all of that.

Because we have gotten so accustomed to separating who a person is and what they do in their private life from the craft. Because if we were not able to separate those things, we would never. never be able to listen to any music. We would never be able to watch anything on TV. We wouldn't be able to enjoy any kind of entertainment at all. Because when it comes to private life and all of that kind of stuff, we object to almost all of these people. And yet, if they are good at their craft, we can still separate that and enjoy the craft of what it is. You know, the holidays are already an expensive time for most people.

Again, that's 1-800-6-5-1-148. All right, let's get now to the comment section. Do you know that next? They're the sweet baby game. Jolene says, I think you're right about 2024, Matt. If Trump would endorse DeSantis, that would be amazing. I would just hope Florida would get just as good a governor to replace him. And maybe someday PA will be that lucky, L.O.L.

Yeah, that's actually the one argument against DeSantis running that I'm sympathetic to, especially if you live in Florida. And I've heard this before. No, I don't want DeSantis to run because then we lose him as governor. So I understand that argument. But, you know, I think that because he is a governor specifically, he has shown an ability to govern. And so that's a skill that we know will carry over into the presidency. I mean, you could have a very talented conservative senator who's really good in their position.

It doesn't necessarily mean they'd be a good president because it's a different skill set. I mean, if there's actually any skill involved in being a senator, which I'm not totally sold on. There is definitely skill involved in being an effective governor. Catherine says, man, I'm glad you found something for your son. Boys are easy to shop for. But in my experience, grown men are hard to shop for. Why are you guys so picky? See, I don't understand this.

I hear this complaint from women a lot that men are hard to shop for. We are so easy to shop for. You know why, see, women, you make this more complicated than it needs to be. And with all due respect, you tend to do that in general in life. you make things more complicated than they need to be because you're overthinking it. Men are very easy to shuffle. All you have to do, here's the, here's the process, okay? There's a man in your life you're buying a gift for, whether it's your father or your husband, whatever, boyfriend. So here's what you do. You go up to them and you say,

hey, what do you want as a gift? And they'll tell you, and then just go and get that thing, whatever it is. That's all. The problem, for women is that, well, you actually know what the men in your life would like as a gift, but you don't want to get them that because it doesn't feel, it doesn't feel creative enough. You know, you think that it's the thought that counts the most. What you don't understand is that it's the thought that counts. That's a, that's a female mentality. That's not how we look at it as men.

Like, we actually don't care about, if I'm given a gift that I want and it's something that I want, I don't care if there was no thought put into it at all. Makes no difference to me. So that's your own mentality. So ask the man in your life what they want and then go buy it. And yeah, here's the thing. Like every man in your life, there's only like two or three things that he wants. And it's always the same.

And so what that means is that for every gift giving occasion, you're just getting him the same thing. And that's fine. I mean, the gift is for him, right? It's not for you. So get him what he wants. Like my dad, for example, all he ever, wants as gifts are gift cards to restaurants where he likes to eat. That's it. That's like the only

thing that he wants. And so for every gift getting occasion. And we have tried through the years, especially my sisters and my mom. I mean, they've tried through the years to try, like, get him something else. Oh, we thought we thought this would be cute to get you instead. Maybe you'd be interested in this. But then he's going to see that as a project as almost like an assignment, a chore, where you're giving him something he's not interested. Now he's got to develop a whole new set of interests and a whole new hobbies to use this gift. I'll just give him what he wants. That's all. Freedom Underground says Walsh is an ageist. L.O.L. Damn. Yeah, I'm agist against 78-year-old presidents. I am. I'm a hundred percent agist against 78-year-old presidents. I am

agest against anyone over the age of, say, 75 running for president, and I think that it should be banned. And I think it's crazy that it's not banned. 35 to 75. That should be the time frame. run for president you got 40 years to get it done you can't get it done then that's it you had 40 years to try uh nice try now go home and be with your grandchildren live your remaining years in peace it's actually it's it's really a gift in fact but you're not going to be president there's already this problem where um oftentimes the people less the people least qualified to be president are the ones who most want to be president in fact the very desire to be president is a red flag in and of itself. And so that's the catch 22. But that is even

more the fact for when someone is elderly. I mean, if you're 78 years old and you want to be president at that age, you actually want to take that on. That just tells me that you are a narcissist and egomaniac, power mad, all the rest of it. I mean, look at Joe Biden. Let's see. Alexander says, sorry, Matt, DeSantis already said he isn't running, so leave your TDS at the door and get on the MAGA train. Well, he didn't say that he's not running as far as I know. He said he is going to run for re-election for governor,

but that doesn't mean he's not going to run for president. And TDS Trump's derangement syndrome. Criticizing Trump is not TDS. Okay, I criticize lots of politicians on this show. If you watch this show, you know that. Do I have derangement syndrome about every politician that I criticize? Or is Trump the only? one that you can't criticize without being deranged. Even when he does and says things that you would

criticize anyone else for doing and saying, still it's derangement to criticize him? Come on. Free Cat says gossip is negative by definition. It does not refer to casual sharing of stories. It's usually embarrassing or completely made up. Given today's climate, you should treat your home like a military base. The less people know, the more secure your home is. agree. And my point about gossip is simply that women gossip because they actually care about what's happening in other people's lives. And that can take on negative forms at times where they care about the things that they, that are really private and they shouldn't be talking about. But I think it's born from something positive, which is that they actually care about what's happening. Whereas

men largely don't care that much about what's happening other people's lives, that's not what we feel like talking about. Like we're not going to sit down and talk about, we might talk a little bit, but we're not going to sit down and have an hour-long conversation about what's happening in somebody else's life. Not because of any moral superiority, but we just don't care. Like, I'd rather talk about football or politics or something like that. And finally, Paul says, Matt, I have to ask you if you think COVID is real or is it something

you think our government is using for power because it seems like it's affecting the whole world. I agree mandates are dangerous, but your attitude is equally. dangerous. So why can't it be both? I mean, it's real, and it's something the government is using. So there's a little bit of a false choice, though. All right, pretty excited about this, folks. I have four Daily Wire promos to tell you about. So buckle in and get ready for this. Candace Owens is one of the few voices in America that isn't afraid to ruffle some feathers, which is why the Daily Wire sent her to Mara Lago to interview one of the most censored men in America, President Trump. They discuss everything from the potential for another presidential run in 2024,

why he didn't part in certain whistleblowers. And what he really thinks about Alec Baldwin? All of that is covered. And you can see that tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central only on Dailywire.com. And if you want to show your support for truth seekers like Candace, head to yes we candace. com to pick up some awesome Candice merchandise as well. And there's more.

Today we have to cancel a woman named Whitney Levitt, who has amassed a following of half a million fans on TikTok, mostly from what I can tell by lip syncing and dancing while pregnant. Now, TikTok has proven that there's an enormous market out there for 12-second videos of people

lip-sinking and dancing. But in order to really make it big on the platform, you need to discover your own niche within that category, your own twist. So some people lip-sync and dance while only partially clothed. Some people lip-sync and dance while not clothed at all. Others lip-sink and dance while wearing funny outfits. There are people lip-syncing and dancing while cross-dressing, you know. I saw one woman who was...

lip syncing and dancing while being very old. So that was her own special variation on the theme. And all these people have like lots and lots of followers on TikTok. But Whitney had the pregnant lip sync dance genre cornered until her TikTok career was derailed because she had her baby. And so she was no longer pregnant. And then searching for some new creative inspiration, she found her opportunity when her newborn child came down with the respiratory virus RSV. Now, three of my kids had RSV as babies. All of them had to go to the hospital for it. And I can tell you, it's an extremely scary experience because while the virus manifests as a cold in adults, much like Omnicorn, it can kill a very young child, unlike Omnicorn.

It would be an understatement to say that while at the hospital with my severely sick children, I was not in a dancing mood. Now, to be fair, I'm never in a dancing mood, but if I were to ever experience the strange and arbitrary urge to move my body to the rhythm of music, it would not be at the hospital with a sick child. Now, Whitney, on the other hand, a different approach to parenting. And so she recorded and posted this video at the hospital while standing next to her newborn child who was struggling to breathe. Let's watch. Now, for those listening only to the audio, let me paint the mental picture for you. Whitney wearing a bright pink Nirvana sweater, despite I'm sure not being able to name more than two

Nirvana songs at most, but that's beside the point. Whitney is standing in a hospital room next to her newborn child, performing a choreographed dance routine, while the captions on the screen inform us that he has RSV, has low oxygen levels, and cannot breathe well on his own. Now, we should note that it's not even a sad song and dance either. This isn't like an interpretive performance where she's communicating her sadness and anxiety through dance. That would also be completely insane, but this somehow manages to be even crazier because the song and dance are upbeat. Meanwhile, her son is laying helplessly in the bassinet, looking at the camera with a distinct get-away-from-me woman expression on his face. Now, if you really wanted to make excuses for Whitney, which I don't, you might argue that all of

the dancing nurses over the last two years have given people the mistaken impression that hospital rooms also double as dance studios. I'm just glad that this trend took hold after my Achilles surgery a few years ago, because if I had the same procedure today, I probably wake up from anesthesia to discover that there's a viral video on TikTok of my surgeon dancing around my unconscious body, all these stitches together, my shattered tendons. So I think I've escaped that sort of thing. But now my nightmare is that sometime in the future, I'll go in for some routine blood work or something, only to have the doctor and 15 nurses come dancing into the room with a marching band

to inform me that I've stage four cancer and I'll be dead in three months. That's where this is headed. Now, all that being said, this is no excuse for Whitney, who should have known better, all the same. And she now acknowledges that, and she issued a tearful apology a couple of days. later after her video failed to receive the applause that she was hoping for. This is what she said. I understand people are upset with the video that I made. I just want to be clear and communicate that that was me just trying to be positive. I think it's important to just not just assume what someone's going through. Anyways, I took the video down because I could see.

you know where somebody could get the wrong idea but that honestly was just me just trying to be positive in this situation but I do want to say thank you for people who have reached out to me and my family and I just really appreciate it yeah well she's the victim here you see the victim of the content that she posted on the internet to her massive crowd of followers she says that she was just trying to be positive. Well, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that. People try to stay positive. I've been to plenty of funerals where people are laughing and joking,

finding joy, even in grief. It's a very common coping mechanism. But the problem here is not positivity. The problem isn't even necessarily the dancing. Now, if I walked into a room and found a mother dancing alone around her sick child, I would think that it was super weird and I'd be very uncomfortable, having witnessed it, but I'd probably assume that it was some kind of like religious ritual or something. The main point is that it would be none of my business.

If I were to just walk into a room and see that. If that's how you cope in private, well, okay, that's your affair. But this was not private. She made the decision to record, edit, and post this content to the internet. She wasn't merely staying positive. She was using her child's sickness as content for social media. She didn't stay positive. She stayed posting. And that's the issue here. Speaking of funerals, this reminds me of the influencer a few weeks ago, I think I mentioned on the show,

who found herself in the middle of a similar firestorm when she posed for seductive photos next to her father's open casket and posted them to Instagram. And she captioned it, Butterfly Fly Away. R-I-P, Poppy, you are my best friend, a life well-lived. Now, once again, there's nothing wrong with that sentiment. The problem is that she felt the need to post. pictures of herself with her dad's corpse on social media. That's not coping. That's content. What should have been a very personal and private moment becomes an opportunity to bring attention to yourself. Now, she justified herself, the one with the corpse, after the fact, by saying,

everybody handles their loss of a loved one in their own way. Some are more traditional, while others might come across as taboo. For me, I treated the celebration as if my father was right next to me, posing for the camera as he had done on many occasions prior. But again, she's free to grieve in her own way, to celebrate her father's life in her own way, to go through this privately in whatever way she sees fit. It's none of our business,

unless you make it our business, which in this case she did. And when that happens, we are free to ask why. I mean, what motivates people to bring these sacred and intimate moments into the public sphere, exploiting their own trauma for content, cashing in their goals,

grief and misery for likes and shares. Why do people do it? I think there are a few factors, but one that we can consider is that, you know, this new crop of social media influencers grew up with the internet on it, in it. They've never had a private life. They've been on stage effectively, almost since birth, living in front of an audience. Now, everybody knows that child actors usually grow up to become deeply disturbed and troubled adults. Why is that? Well, because they never experienced normal human existence. They were famous before they could understand what fame meant, and certainly before they could really choose it for themselves.

They've been performing for so long that they never had a chance to develop a real personality, a real interior life. So they grow into these stunted hollow people. And they try to fill that gap in, that hollowness in with drugs and everything else. Well, the problem is that now all kids have child actor syndrome. The only difference is that most of them don't have millions of dollars to show for it. But they get on the internet and social media early in life, and they begin cultivating their own little audience. And they become small-scale public figures performing for the crowd, trying constantly to appease and grow their fan base.

But they can't explain what they gain from it. And this is true of adults, too. Everybody is a public figure now on one scale or another. Everyone is famous in their own way. only most people get the worst parts of fame, the lack of privacy, the narcissism, the constant crushing fear that you'll become irrelevant. But none of the perks, money, admiration, success. And this is how we end up with people who put everything on the internet, who publicize every detail of themselves, who use every experience and every thought and every misfortune and trauma

as content, mere fuel to shove into the fire. That's how Whitney left. it happens. Though this is not an excuse, we still must hold individuals accountable for their own behavior, which is why today she is still at the end, canceled. And we'll leave it there for today.
