  Speaker 1: Good morning and welcome to Bongina Report Early Edition. X
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: experiences a potential Ukrainian cyber attack. DC's Black Lives Matter
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: plaza is finally removed. Cute children singing about George Washington
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: are slammed by America-hating internet trolls. Whoopi makes a moral
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: argument for men competing against women in sports. And white
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Severus Snape is recast as a black actor in HBO's
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: new Harry Potter adaptation. All this on Bongina Report, early edition.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: So yesterday morning, I woke up and Michael said, I
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: was rushing to get this show prepared this morning. And
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: you guys, for some context, usually I send Michael elements
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: very late at night. He usually is in bed by
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: the time I sent the elements. And then Michael gets
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: up really early in the morning and he puts the
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: show together before I wake up. That's usually around what?
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: 5 a.m. Mikey 5 a.m. So he said, yeah, I
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: barely had any time because I couldn't download any of
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: your videos from X. X was down for hours yesterday.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: And so throughout the day, I kept checking. I'm like,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: what's going on here? This is really strange. And like
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: I said, it was working on and off. It was
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: pretty bizarre. But I wasn't that concerned about it. I mean,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: I was like, well, you know, whatever. Things happen. Social
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: media companies will go down for a little bit. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: then they come back. So it wasn't really something that
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I was too concerned about. I didn't think a ton
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: of it. And then Elon Musk revealed this. on Fox
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Business yesterday. Take a listen. Another thing, everyone's attacking you
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: for your position.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: What are you doing in the government?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: There was a cyber attack on X today, which shut
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: it down and may have been foreign sourced. It's a
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: big story.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: You want to give us a moment on that?
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Well, we're not sure exactly what happened, but there was
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: a massive cyber attack to try to bring down the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: X system with IP addresses originating in the Ukraine area. Oh. Well,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: so that's your suspicion.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: So cyber criminals can create false IP addresses to impersonate
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: computer systems from different parts of the world. That's definitely true.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So we don't know for sure where this came from yet.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: What we do know is that Ukraine supporters, including high
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: profile journalists, are openly calling for President Trump's assassination because
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: this admin is done sending Ukraine information. billions of American
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: dollars for a war that Ukraine can't win. This is
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just the reality. Here's Ukrainian journalist Vadim Karpiak. I hope
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: I'm pronouncing his name right. He's calling for the assassination
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: of Donald Trump. This is translated to English. He said,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in reference to the president, where is Lee Harvey Oswald
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: when the country needs him so badly? Harvey Oswald, of course,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: killed John F.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: Kennedy.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So what is he saying about President Trump? We needed
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Lee Harvey Oswald to take out the president of the
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: United States again. The founder of the publication, The Quillette,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Claire Lehman, who is a rabid Ukraine supporter, she posted this.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: People are reacting to Trump's portrayal of Ukraine with disgust
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: because it violates noblesse oblige, noblesse oblige, you guys, sorry.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: The understanding that great power comes great responsibility. In CHIPS,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: In chimps, leaders who failed to act on this duty
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: tend to suffer gruesome ends. And this is essentially talking
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: about how chimps, right, they will murder the leader of
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: a group if that leader, that chimp leader is not
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: doing its job. So she's saying, essentially, the American people
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: should cannibalize President Trump. He should be assassinated. He should
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: meet a gruesome end for not sending Ukraine more money.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty ridiculous assertion. And revolver, and, and, threatening
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: and disturbing. And Revolver summed this up really well, because
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: you have to separate the Ukrainian people from these lunatics
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: who are obsessed with the Ukraine war. I mean, this journalist,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: but one of them isn't even Ukrainian. And she's just
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: rabid about continuing to fund this conflict. So Revolver says,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the sad reality is most Ukrainians want peace. They don't
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: want to die for this war. But the elites and
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: their loyal peasant puppets are the ones pushing for endless conflict,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: or worse, World War III. And as we're already seeing,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: their response isn't diplomacy, it's rage, revenge, and outright calls
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: for assassination. The West may think it can simply cut
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: the cord and walk away, but Ukraine's most radical backers
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: won't go quietly. It's a really ominous warning from Revolver.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: And this Ukraine attack on Musk could be because of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: his criticisms of the war in Ukraine and his association
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: with President Trump. That's definitely, possibly, true considering this IP
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: address situation, but it does appear more concretely that the
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: backers of this war are lashing out at the United
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: States instead of expressing gratitude for all that we've already
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: done for them. And it makes you wonder if we
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: ever should have given them anything in the first place.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: All right, we're going to take a quick break. When
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: we come back, I have something really interesting to share
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: with you. This came up in my feed and involves
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: cute children and America-hating internet trolls who we just need
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to slam on this show because truly disgusting what they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: did to these children. All right, we'll take a quick break.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: I lied. We are going to cover George Washington and
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: these cute kids singing and the terrible response to this
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: really cute video of them singing. But first, we have
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to cover something else, something really wonderful that happened yesterday.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Workers in Washington, D.C. began dismantling the Black Lives Matter
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: plaza that lies in the heart of the city just
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: outside the White House. And this removal is actually thanks
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: to Representative Andrew Clyde, who introduced a bill last week
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: that aims to withhold certain funding from the District of
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Columbia unless the D.C. mayor removes the phrase Black Lives
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Matter and redesignates BLM Plaza Liberty Plaza. Now, D.C. Mayor
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser agreed to this, and she said in a statement,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Now we cannot afford to be distracted by meaningless congressional interference.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: The devastating impacts of the federal job cuts must be
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: our number one concern. So to the anger of a
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: lot of leftists in D.C., she is tearing down BLM Plaza.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: She is capitulating to Congress, which I love to see.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Jack Posobiec's brother, Kevin Posobiec, actually handed out coffee and
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: donuts to workers at this who were trying to take
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: down BLM Plaza, which I think is awesome. Take a look.
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Black Lives Matter Plaza. taking it down you get them
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: hard at work we got uh coffee and donuts for
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: y'all here all right yeah you're welcome you got the
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: cups there and all all you need everybody's getting a
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: uh free coffee and donuts complimentary human events daily.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Today this is a massive project you guys you might
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: not realize it but This mural is huge. This is
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: going to take a long time to get rid of,
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: like weeks to get rid of. The words Black Lives Matter,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: it sits across two city blocks. There are, these are
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: 35 foot tall letters. Obviously they're not tall, but you
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: know what I mean, lengthwise. And it was painted, of course,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in solidarity with the BLM riots that torched American cities
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: in 2020. And honestly, it's so personally satisfying for me
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: to see Black Lives Matter go, the Plaza go, because
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: that time period had such an impact on me, like
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: on a really transformative personal level. 2020 was the year
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: I got canceled at my university. It was also the
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: year I began publishing articles for the first time. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: was officially not a teenager in 2020. I was 20
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: years old. And I felt like I was entering adulthood
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: in one of the most chaotic times I had ever
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: witnessed in my entire life. COVID was so dystopian. I
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: was sent home from college. There's all this fear mongering.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: And then there were the mandates and the policing of
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: our entire lives. Experimental vaccine. I almost got expelled from
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: my university. I had to sue the university to stay.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: I mean, it was just, it was crazy. And then
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: there were these massive race riots sparked by the death
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: of George Floyd, a felon who died with a fatal
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: level of fentanyl in his system. And I actually witnessed
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: these riots firsthand in Kenosha, Wisconsin with my now husband, Michael.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: We were there together. And I felt like I didn't
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: recognize America when I was in Kenosha, Wisconsin. The homeland
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: had turned into a war zone with Democrats and Republicans
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: praising these demonstrations, which were really riots led by an
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: explicitly Marxist organization. I witnessed people loot a Walmart and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: streak out of the parking lot And we've seen this
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: at a massive scale across blue cities during 2020. People
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: just going into stores, decimating them, destroying them. I saw
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: law abiding people terrified outside of their homes and their
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: businesses with baseball bats and handguns ready to defend themselves
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: against these looters descending on their cities. I saw people
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: on the streets as their livelihoods and community went up
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: in flames. And that was in Kenosha. People were literally
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: weeping in the street. It was the middle of the night,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: flames everywhere. It was so dystopian. And, you know, honestly,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it feels like an abused girlfriend, right? Like, I'm afraid
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: that that evil condoned by Republican and Democrat politicians is
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: going to come back, that that evil ideology is going
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: to come back and hurt this country again. You know,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the removal of BLM Plaza isn't just about reclaiming a street.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: It's about reclaiming the truth. We were gaslit into believing
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: that chaos was justice, that destruction was progress, that we
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: had to accept the erasure of law and order, personal liberty,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: our identity as Americans, basic truth as some sort of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: penance for a history we didn't personally live through, we
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: had nothing to do with. and that frankly was never
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: racist inherently to begin with. But reality has a way
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: of breaking through the narrative. BLM wasn't just a slogan
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: on a street, it was a symbol of Marxism, which
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: rejected the principles that hold this country together. The movement's
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: leaders funneled millions into personal mansions, while churches, businesses, and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: communities burned to the ground. And for years, the ruling class,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Democrats and even Republicans, a lot of Republicans, Republicans who
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: are still in Congress today, they embrace BLM as law-abiding
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: citizens lived in fear. And the fact that BLM Plaza
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: is now being dismantled should be a wake-up call. Public
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: sentiment is shifting. Americans are tired of the deception, the division,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: the destruction. We want stability, not riots. We want justice,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: not mob rule. We want truth, not ideological coercion. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: at the same time, if 2020 taught us anything, it's
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: that the forces of chaos can return in an instant.
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: fueled by media propaganda, corporate backing, political cowardice, evil doesn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: just go away. It waits for another opportunity. And a
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: lot of Republicans were complicit. We can't trust them. By
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the way, this evil ideology hasn't been purged from the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: schools in the slightest. And I saw this video on Instagram.
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: And guys, the comments here say it all about education
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: in this country, about the impact that BLM, and decades
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of America hatred has had on an entire generation, on
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: multiple generations of Americans. This video was posted by Millennial
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: Choirs and Orchestras. It's a nonprofit musical organization. It's made
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: up of children's choirs, adults' choirs, and a symphony orchestra.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: And the organization is aimed at teaching and encouraging excellence
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: in quality, sacred, and classical music. And it says on
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: its website that its primary purpose is to fulfill the
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: need for more refined music education and performance in our
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: communities with a focus on God and country. So this
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: is a viral video from one of their children's choirs.
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: And to the casual observer, this is an adorable display
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: of patriotism, just a celebration of our country. But the
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: commenters did not think so. So first, let's play that video.
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Washington was a very good man, a very good man indeed.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: He could have told a lie, but he said, uh-huh,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: the truth is what we need. An honorable man for
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: his heart was true, a man of great faith for
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: his heart was pure. He was a very good, very good,
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: very good, very good man indeed. Sure, Washington was a
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: very great man, a very great man indeed. He could
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: have said it all, but he said, uh-uh, a man
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: knows what we mean. He put his head to a
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: person's feet, and straightened his head out to victory. He
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: was a very great, very great, very great, very great
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: man indeed.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: It just gets so cute. It's so much better. The
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: kids are so into it. It's honestly one of the
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: cutest videos I've ever seen. They're so excited to be
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: singing it. They're at that perfect age, that like perfect
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: age where they're not embarrassed to be singing in a
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: choir like this. So cute. So well done. You'd think
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: that this is just like a well-received video in the
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: United States of America, a song about the founder of
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: this country and one of the founders. And instead, the
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: commenters are so negative, but wildly negative. So here's some
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: of them. Somebody said, wow, North Korea really stepping up
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: their game with this one. How do people not see
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: that this is a dictatorship? Propaganda at its peak. Soviet
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: child choir, so sweet. This feels dystopian. We had the
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: same thing in Germany, but they banned it. Children singing
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: about a slave owner, nice. A very good man who
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: owns slaves? I can understand celebrating our country's first president,
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: but this is a bit cultish. So the consensus among
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: all these critics seems to be pretty clear. George Washington
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: as a slave owner, he's an evil figure, he's unworthy
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: of praise, and certainly unworthy of being celebrated in a
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: song by innocent children. And to them, the performance is
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: not just misguided, it's like dangerous. It's a step toward
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: brainwashing and authoritarianism. It's like North Korea and the Soviet Union,
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Nazi Germany. To understand this controversy, I think we first
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: have to grapple with the man at the center of it,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: George Washington. Most Americans are familiar with the iconic painting
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: of George Washington crossing the Delaware River. The story behind
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: that moment is one of extraordinary courage and leadership. After
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: a series of defeats in 1776, Washington's army was demoralized
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: and the revolution was at risk of collapsing. Undeterred, Washington
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: devised a daring plan to cross the icy Delaware River
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: on Christmas night in the midst of a brutal storm
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: to launch a surprise attack on mercenary troops hired by
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: the British crown. Despite the perilous conditions, freezing temperatures, dangerous currents,
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: and exhausted troops, Washington personally led the crossing and marched
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: his men nine miles to Trenton, securing a crucial victory
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: in the revolution. This bold move not only boosted morale,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: but also proved Washington's willingness to risk his own life
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: for the cause of independence. Time and time again, Washington
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: proved himself to be a fearless leader, but he's also principled.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: As that children's choir song very acutely explains, Washington voluntarily
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: stepped down from power after two terms as president, setting
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: a precedent for democratic leadership. Many at the time expected
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: Washington to cling to power. This is an era of monarchy.
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: And some even urged him to become a king-like figure,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: but he chose to relinquish his position, to relinquish his power.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: And also, in his will, he freed his enslaved workers
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: upon his wife's death, something that most contemporaries of his
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: would never dream of doing. Judge Washington was a complex man,
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: as all men are, But he's also the father of
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this country, the sword of the revolution. Now, if you're listening,
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: you could hear the children, but you couldn't see them.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: These kids are like seven. Some looked as young as five.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: They're little. They don't need to be having nuanced discussions
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: about George Washington and slavery and the nuances. It's just
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: not something you do with five-year-olds. They're not even really
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: capable of that. They're just trying to remember his name.
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: More importantly, these angry commentators, they don't really want nuance.
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: Because like I said, kids aren't capable of that. They
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: want the kids taught that Washington is evil. They are
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: disturbed American children would have a positive view of this
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: country and its founder. And they aren't made about supposed indoctrination.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: They aren't preoccupied with supposed indoctrination so much as it
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: is that they aren't the ones doing the indoctrinating, that
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: their preferred type of indoctrination isn't going to be instilled
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: on children. Because here's the deal. If you're a child,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: you're getting indoctrinated. You don't have the mental capacity to
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: be deciding what you believe and what you don't at
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: that age. Somebody's going to tell you what to believe.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: Somebody's going to indoctrinate you somehow. Now, I think these
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: commenters know that. And that's why they're mad that their
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: indoctrination isn't the one being put forward. And it isn't evil.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: Let me just be clear with this. It isn't evil
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: and fascist to pass down to our children the American
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: mythos that fuels our identity as a people. Myths, in
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the true sense of the word, are what binds people together.
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: Not just stories, but the shared understanding of who we are.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: If we can't pass on a shared reverence for the
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: foundational figures who built this nation, what are we left with?
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: A rootless people, disconnected from their past, ready to be
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: manipulated and by whatever ideology happens to be in vogue,
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: as G.K. Chesterton warned. The special mark of the modern
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: world is not that it is skeptical, but that it
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: is dogmatic without knowing it. That's exactly what those commenters encapsulate.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: The people attacking these children for singing about Washington are
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: not skeptics engaging in a fair historical critique. They are
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: zealots determined to erase anything that might inspire love of
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: country because love of country is the last thing they
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: want to foster. If we do not teach our children
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: who they are, who we are, someone else will. And
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: the people rewriting history in those Instagram comments inspired by
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the same cancer that inspired BLM, will not teach children
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: to cherish this country. They will teach them to despise it.
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: Tearing down national heroes doesn't make people enlightened. It makes
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: them easier to control. A nation that forgets its past
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: has no future. All right, lighter topic now, I promise.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about what happened on The View yesterday. Della Mulvaney,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: a transgender-identifying woman, man joined Ladies of the View, and
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: Whoopi was falling over herself during this interview to justify
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: radical transgender ideology. Here she is arguing in defense of
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: transgender-identifying men participating in women's sports. Take a listen.
• 20:52
  Speaker 4: If you don't know anything about our bodies, you don't
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: know how it works. So when you come in and
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: you say, oh, you know, these men, these are men,
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: you know, Competing against women. You're assuming that the women
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: are weak and just can't do anything except be here.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Have you seen female athletes? They know what they're doing.
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: So I'm not sure what's going on or why this
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: is an issue. The same for me as when people say, oh,
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: you know, I don't know how I feel about you.
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: You do.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: God doesn't make mistakes.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: No.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: And the challenge is not to the trans people. It's
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: to the people who are not trans. That's what God
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: is looking to see, how you treat people.
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: That's what is happening. So I was just curious as
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: to what... I liked your answer.
• 21:47
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: I liked your answer.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: There's a couple things, more than a couple things to
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: unpack here. So apparently, we're into Whoopi, but women are on...
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: an equal physical playing field as men. And to suggest
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: otherwise is anti-woman. And this is, of course, completely contrary
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: to reality, to science. Men are, as a whole, physically
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: superior to women. It's just the truth.
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: They are.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Sue me. I want you to watch this video of
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: Peyton McNabb. She's the volleyball player who Trump invited to
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: his congressional address. She received a traumatic brain injury after
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: facing off to a male volleyball player.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: Take a look.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: I've seen videos like that many times. And think about
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: it in a sport like wrestling or boxing. It's even
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: more physical. Women are yet even more of a risk.
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: It's unbelievable that we would make this argument. But Whoopi
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: wasn't really making an argument about biology. I think she
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: went there and then she didn't get too explicit about it, right?
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: She was making more of an emotional argument. She invoked God.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: If you don't go along with men invading women's sports,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: then you're being unkind. You're actually being immoral, according to Whoopi.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: God is testing you. You better let this boy box
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: your daughter. And it's fascinating when you hear this kind
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: of emotional manipulation and pseudoscience from people Like Whoopi. By
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: people like Whoopi, I mean people who are almost 70
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: years old. Whoopi is just learning about this trans insanity.
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: The words that are coming out of her mouth in
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: defense of trans insanity is brand new for her. The
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: older generation supporting radical gender ideology, they're uniquely sinister because
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: they know better. They didn't grow up with this. For
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: most of their lives, the idea that men can be
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: women and vice versa that biology is a social construct,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: that it's cruel to acknowledge reality, none of that existed.
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: These people lived decades of their lives in a world
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: where men and women were distinct, obvious categories. And yet,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: when the cultural ties shifted, when the pressure came down,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: they folded. Why? At her age, Whoopi should be beyond
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: the need to fit in with the latest cultural fads.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: She's lived through enough to know how quickly ideologies fall
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: and rise. And yet, instead of standing firm, instead of
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: being the voice of wisdom and experience, she's become the
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: most desperate to conform. It is pathetic. At least when
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: a young person spouts this nonsense, it's like you can
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: chalk it up to the brainwashing. They've been raised in
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: this stuff. I'm not saying it's an excuse, but it's
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: kind of, I mean, it's better than what Whoopi has.
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: You have nearly 70-year-old Whoopi playing along, and it's a
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: conscious betrayal of reality on her part. This isn't just ignorance.
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: It is cowardice. Also, Whoopi didn't fully commit to arguing
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: that men and women are physically equal. I kind of
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: said that it was more of an emotional argument. And
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: that's actually how she reframed this entire conversation. It's if
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: you don't submit, you're a bad person. If you don't agree,
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: You're failing God's test. But let's be real about something.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: God is not testing you on whether or not you
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: let a man pummel your daughter in a boxing ring.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: He's testing you on whether you will stand for truth
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: when the whole world demands that you lie. And whoopee
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: has failed that test spectacularly. All right, I got to
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: get to this, you guys. At the request of literally
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: no one, HBO has decided to create a Harry Potter series.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: The movies are already great. I love them. I'll just admit,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: you guys, I like the Harry Potter books. I like
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: the movies. I'm that generation. You can be upset. You
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: can look down, whatever.
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: That's fine.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: I thought they were great. No one is asking for
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: Harry Potter to be remade. It's completely unnecessary. But this
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: is just, again, another shameless money grab from HBO, as
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: all of Hollywood and all these streaming services constantly are doing.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: And they cast a man named Papa Enseadu. That's his
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: last name. And here is what this man looks like
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: compared to the original Severus Snape in the movies. Now,
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Papa is, of course, a black man. But here's how
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Snape's skin is described by J.K. Rowling in Harry Potter
• 26:50
  Speaker 1: in the books. Pale, sallow skin, the color of sour milk.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: He's even described as marble white during his last confrontation
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: with Voldemort in the Deathly Hallows. So Snape, I'm just
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: going to conclude here from those descriptions, is a white man.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: And again, first, no one asked for this remake. It's
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: completely unnecessary. We all just want some originality from the
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: streaming services and from Hollywood. And second, everyone is sick
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: of anti-white race, anti-white racist erasure of white people. And honestly,
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: it's pretty crap. that this is so-called representation for black
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: people too. Make a series about a black character, a
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: new one, or an adaptation from a book about a
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: black character. The blackwashing is cheap and lazy and it
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: pisses everyone off. Black and white, left and right, no
• 27:40
  Speaker 1: one likes this. An actor's job is to fulfill a role.
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: The craft comes from the acting, but the immutable features
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: matter when fulfilling that role. We need original black characters
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: with their own stories. It's honestly disrespectful to black people
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: to continue inserting them in white stories instead of portraying
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: real black characters. I don't see how this is anti-racist.
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's really just upsetting everyone. Someone shared this.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: It says, the Disney adaptation of the Ukraine war and
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: it's Putin as a black man. Like, honestly, it's accurate.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: This is what they do. This is how Hollywood portrays
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: stories these days. Like, just purposeful, rage-baiting, race-swapping. And again,
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: like I said, I really think that sometimes it's rage baiting.
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: But true diversity in media means creating stories that honor
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: and respect different cultures and histories, not awkwardly wedging diversity
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: into places where it doesn't belong. There's no shame in
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: loving the source material as it was written, and there's
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: nothing wrong with expecting studios to respect that. The race
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: swapping is dumb, and it's silly, and I feel like
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: it really worked up about it. It's like, don't get
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that worked up about it. I mean, it's just, who cares?
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: But it's still a relevant example of a certain political
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: class that's just forcing their ideology on the populace constantly,
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to the point where it's even distasteful to people who
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: are on the left. This is never about tolerance. It's
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: always about social engineering, whether the people want it or not.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: By altering cultural memory, institutions dictate what people should believe
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: rather than reflecting what was. And a movie like Harry
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: Potter is pretty inconsequential in this respect, but the Founding
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: Fathers aren't. How many statues were torn down or defaced
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: in 2020? And it takes courage to stand by objective reality,
• 29:36
  Speaker 1: to tell stories as they were rather than reshape them
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: for a modern approval. This is true of the legacy
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: of George Washington and of George Floyd. Cowardice, the fear
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: of backlash, the desire for acceptance, it drives people to conform,
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: to allow these distortions without question. But for the first time,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: since 2020, maybe the first time in two decades, Americans
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: are able to reclaim our mythos and identity and take
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: pride in a really powerful way. And as someone who
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: was sincerely scarred by 2020, it actually makes me feel
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: really optimistic. That's it for today. Thank you guys so
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: much for tuning in. As always, if you want to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: listen to this show in its video form, go to rumble.com

• 31:02
  Speaker 1: I'll see you guys tomorrow. The Dan Bongino Show.
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: I think a lot of people are underestimating the Trump
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: effect in this midterm. You've heard it yourself. Act like
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: I'm on the ballot. Why is he saying that? You
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: think he doesn't know what he's doing? That is the
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: X factor. Folks, elections are a math issue.
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: That is it.
• 31:21
  Speaker 6: This is not a football game. If you vote, we
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: will win. It is not complicated.
