| We've taken a giant step forward to further accelerate our path out of this pandemic. | |
| This is a day of relief and celebration. | |
| Parents all over this country, you can now protect them from this horrible virus. | |
| Staying on the bad news, which could really be the name of the show, I guess. | |
| The bad news with Matt Walsh. | |
| Why didn't we think of that? | |
| It's just coming to me now. | |
| Anyway, it's probably a little bit hard to market. | |
| So let's go here. | |
| Joe Biden is getting ready for his talk with Putin, and he was asked by a reporter what he plans to say to Putin. | |
| And I want to show you his response. | |
| Now, we've seen a lot of this kind of thing from Joe Biden. | |
| There's sort of nothing new about it. | |
| And we get so used to it that you think, oh, there's old Joe Biden again having a brain fart. | |
| No, this is not a brain fart, okay? | |
| This is someone who's losing their mind, experiencing mental decay in front of cameras, in front of the whole world. | |
| And it's bad and embarrassing. | |
| But let's watch it, first of all. | |
| To answer the first question? | |
| I'm laughing too. | |
| They actually. | |
| Well, look, I mean, he has made clear that the answer is, I believe he has in the past essentially acknowledged that he was there are certain things that he would do or did do. | |
| What was that? | |
| I don't even understand the answer. | |
| In the past, he's acknowledged that there were certain things he would do or did do. | |
| Okay. | |
| Would do in the past? | |
| What does that mean? | |
| Well, there's no point in trying to dissect this or get into it. | |
| This is, again, someone who's experiencing rapid, rapid mental decline in front of the entire world. | |
| I think at this point, it's been very obvious all along, but now it seems all but certain that Joe Biden, most likely, is not going to be the president when we get to 2024. | |
| I mean, not even voting out of office, but he's not going to be the guy. | |
| It's going to be Kamala Harris by the time we get there. | |
| And what makes this so frustrating is just like the consequences of the lockdown, this was so foreseeable. | |
| Of course, this is going to happen when you elect a 78-year-old man who's already in cognitive decline. | |
| And then you take him and you put him in the most stressful job on earth. | |
| We've all, unfortunately, most of us have, because Alzheimer's is so common, dementia is so common, most of us have had experience with seeing this with loved ones. | |
| And so you know, if you have, say, your grandfather or grandmother who went through this, you know how quickly you start seeing the warning signs and then it's kind of like they're gradually headed to this cliff and then they fall off the cliff. | |
| And it happens very fast. | |
| And you know, that happens when your grandfather, your grandmother is retired and they're sitting at home all day playing with the grandkids, relatively stress-free life. | |
| Still, the decline is exponential until you fall off the cliff. | |
| And it's like they just aren't even there anymore. | |
| And it's very sad. | |
| Okay, so we know that happens exponentially with a retired person in a stress-free life. | |
| What about when you put them in one of the most physically and mentally demanding jobs on the planet? | |
| And also one of the most consequential and important jobs on the planet? | |
| It's just crazy. | |
| We knew this was going to happen. | |
| Of course it's going to happen. | |
| You know, July is that perfect time when we're all thinking about vacation, taking a break from work, soaking up the best of summer. | |
| Here's the thing, while it's great to step back from the daily grind, this isn't the time to take a break from your spiritual life. | |
| I'll be honest, it's way too easy to let your prayer routine slide during these hot summer months. | |
| It's exactly why I love Hallow so much. | |
| They've got over 10,000 different prayers, meditations, and challenges to make it really simple to build and stick with a prayer routine, even when life gets busy. | |
| This month, they're doing something really special, leading everyone through the spiritual exercises of St. Ignatius with Father Timothy Gallagher. | |
| It's all about imaginative prayer, which is pretty incredible if you've never tried it. | |
| You'll be praying alongside some amazing voices too, Father Mike Schmitz, who hosts Bible in a year, and Sister Miriam James Heidland from the Abiding Together podcast. | |
| Look, this July could be the perfect time to really dive into your prayer life and experience that love, grace, mercy, and peace that only Jesus can bring. | |
| Hallow has helped millions of people do exactly that through their guided prayers and meditations, including my own family. | |
| Right now, you can join millions of others who are praying every day on Hallow, the number one Christian prayer app in the world. | |

| All right, let's finally finish with this a little bit more lighthearted. | |
| This is from the Daily Mail. | |
| It says, this is the report anyway. | |
| Again, I report, you decide. | |
| Okay. | |
| It says, he's supposed to be committed to reducing emissions, but when President Joe Biden produced a little natural gas of his own at the COP26 summit, it was audible enough to make the Duchess of Cornwall blush. | |
| An informed source has told the Mail on Sunday that Camilla was taken aback to hear Biden break wind as they made polite small talk at the global climate change gathering last week. | |
| The source said, quote, it was long and loud and impossible to ignore. | |
| Camilla hasn't stopped talking about it. | |
| So, you know, I don't know what's going on. | |
| It's almost like we, it's almost like there's a 78-year-old man in office. | |
| I'm not sure, but he's, this guy, according to the reports anyway, he's, he's just and farting all over Europe. | |
| It's a real problem here. | |
| Especially with, you know, with pollution being the problem being as bad as it is. | |
| He has crop-dusted all of Europe. | |
| What's happening? | |
| Well, again, I know what's happening. | |
| He's an old man. | |
| And there's no way, there's no, and I'm just trying to imagine, first of all, I need to know more about this, okay? | |
| Because even in the Daily Mail report, I read the whole report with great interest, and then it kind of moves on and it talks about the climate change summit. | |
| It doesn't give us any more information. | |
| I need to know more. | |
| Because Joe Biden is standing there allegedly, and he lets out this massive fart that goes on for minutes, apparently. | |
| Is there a pause in the conversation or does he blow through it and keep talking, pretending that it's not happening? | |
| Is there any acknowledgement of the fart after the fact? | |
| It sounds like he does this a lot. | |
| Hopefully he's kind of got accustomed. | |
| He knows what tactics to use to distract from what's just happened. | |
| I don't know. | |
| A lot more information that we need. | |
| But this just makes us proud as Americans, doesn't it? | |
| One weekend, he poops his pants in front of the Pope, allegedly. | |
| The very next weekend, he's farting in front of the Duchess of Cornwall, of all people. | |
| Makes me very proud to be an American. | |
| All right, so Biden announced, speaking of Kool-Aid, announced that the Pfizer shot will be rolled out officially for kids 5 to 11. | |
| We knew this was coming. | |
| We've been told about this. | |
| We've been promised or threatened, depending on how you look at it, that the vaccine will be made available for kids as young as five. | |
| And now Joe Biden is very excited to tell us that you can finally bring your kids in and jab this substance right into their bodies. | |
| And he expects that we will all be lining up to do so. | |
| Here's Joe Biden making the big announcement. | |
| Today is a great day for American parents and American families and American children. | |
| We've taken a giant step forward to further accelerate our path out of this pandemic. | |
| After months of rigorous and independent scientific review, the Food and Drug Administration, the FDA, authorized, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, the CDC, recommended a COVID-19 vaccine for children ages 5 through 11. | |
| For parents all over this country, this is a day of relief and celebration. | |
| After almost 18 months of anxious worrying every time your child had a sniffle or started to cough, well, you can now protect them from this horrible virus because that would always worry you that was coming along. | |
| 28 million more young Americans are now eligible for the protection of a vaccine. | |
| And my administration is ready. | |
| We're ready from day one, today, organized and have a plan for this vaccination's launch. | |
| As soon as next week, we'll have enough vaccine and enough places and parents will be able to schedule appointments to get their kids their first shot. | |
| And we've already secured enough vaccine supply for every single child in America ages 5 through 11. | |
| Oh, that's good news. | |
| Well, you go ahead and hang on to that, Biden. | |
| Why don't you take them all yourself? | |
| How about that? | |
| That's my suggestion. | |
| No, you go ahead. | |
| You could take all my kids. | |
| I got four kids, and you can have all their doses. | |
| You could take those. | |
| Biden says months and years of anxious worry every time a child has the sniffles or a cough. | |
| No, that's not the case for me because I'm not a paranoid lunatic. | |
| And I also understand the science behind this, which has been very clear from the beginning, that COVID is almost no threat to kids whatsoever. | |
| Almost. | |
| There's a list, a enormous, a gigantic list of things that are far more threatening to kids than COVID. | |
| And many of those things that are higher on the list are things that most parents don't even think about at all. | |
| So no, I haven't been worried at all. | |
| In fact, my kids had a sniffles and a cough last week. | |
| And I didn't worry about it at all. | |
| Guess what? | |
| I didn't get them tested. | |
| Yeah, I don't, every time my kid has a cough or a sniffle, I don't run out and get them COVID tested. | |
| I don't. | |
| I'm not living. | |
| You know why I don't live that way? | |
| Because that's crazy. | |
| That's insane. | |
| People get colds. | |
| Kids get colds. | |
| That still exists in the world. | |
| In fact, kids are getting colds a lot more now than they were before because we put them in masks, or a lot of people put their kids in masks. | |
| I didn't put mine in. | |
| But people put their kids in masks and locked them in a house for two years. | |
| And now their immune systems are shot. | |
| And so they're going to be getting a lot of colds. | |
| You're going to panic that it's COVID every single time? | |
| What? | |
| Every time your kid has a sniffle? | |
| Lock everything down, quarantine them, quarantine yourself, call out of work? | |
| I don't think so. | |
| Nope, I don't get them COVID tested. | |
| I'm not going to get them the shot. | |
| I'm not. | |
| And if that makes you angry or upsets you or if you think it's reckless or whatever, I'm glad that you feel that way. | |
| I'm glad you're upset about it. | |
| Because it's not going to happen. | |
| Independence Day isn't about fireworks and barbecues. | |
| It's about what made America worth celebrating in the first place, truth. | |
| And right now, truth is under siege. | |
| While leftist mobs riots in the street, burning cars, looting stores, and throwing rocks, we're told to sit down, shut up, and call it progress. | |
| We don't have the luxury of being passive anymore. | |

| Up until this point, I think it's safe to assume that you had never spent one second of your life thinking about Ukraine or worrying about who controls the different regions of it. | |
| It's not that you're callous or apathetic, it's just that you're a finite being, limited by both time and space, and so you're naturally most concerned with the things happening closest to you. | |
| Countries are fighting all over the globe in various ways. | |
| Factions are at war with one another all over the place. | |
| Land being taken, claimed, reclaimed. | |
| Are you supposed to have an opinion about all of those conflicts? | |
| Are you supposed to take a side? | |
| Maybe there are people fighting over something in Botswana right now or Zambia or wherever else. | |
| But you don't even bother to check because if there is a fight happening in those places, it's not your fight. | |
| Now, this again is not cruel disregard for the suffering of others. | |
| It's rather a lack of mental, emotional, and physical resources. | |
| You can only be so many places at once. | |
| You can only care about so many things at once. | |
| It's also a matter of priorities. | |
| You are loyal first and foremost to your family and your community, your country. | |
| That is your realm of interest, your sphere of influence. | |
| That's what's been given to you to care for and help protect. | |
| But now, in an instant, out of nowhere, the powers that be in your country are telling you that you should care very much about Ukraine. | |
| It is indeed now your responsibility to care about the suffering of the Ukrainian people, you're told. | |
| How could you abandon them in their time of need? | |
| You are tied to them by spiritual bonds that you've just now been made aware of and which require you to care about their circumstances, even as you're allowed to continue not thinking much at all about the circumstances of people in Botswana or Zambia or Bolivia or Uzbekistan or Nigeria or even Afghanistan now. | |
| That last country was supposed to matter deeply to you for the last 20 years, but now it's not supposed to matter at all. | |
| Nobody could quite explain why it should have mattered before or why it shouldn't matter now if it did matter before, but you're required to stand still and let the conveyor belt take you to the next destination. | |
| Don't ask any questions, because now it's all about Ukraine. | |
| You are allowed to spend every second of your life up until now, not caring about that country, not ever thinking about it, ever. | |
| But today, today you must care deeply. | |
| You must be willing to sacrifice anything for its sake. | |
| And if you don't, if you commit the sin of feeling the same way about Ukraine as you felt yesterday and every day before that, then you're a despicable traitor. | |
| You're treasonous scum. | |
| You should be arrested and shot, or maybe just shot. | |
| Why bother with the arrest? | |
| Russia is moving into some regions of Ukraine that you know nothing about. | |
| You've never been there. | |
| You don't know what they look like. | |
| You don't know anything about them. | |
| But Putin claims that the people in those regions want him there. | |
| Ukraine says that's not true. | |
| Our government and the media also say that it isn't true. | |
| Now, you have no way of knowing for sure how true it is or isn't, but your patriotic duty, allegedly, is to simply believe whatever distilled version of a complex geopolitical issue you happen to hear on CNN. | |
| If you fail to believe it, or if you even ask for more information in regards to it, you are again a traitor. | |
| I mean, if you ask a simple question like when Putin says, oh, well, they want us there, and you say, do they? | |
| I mean, do we know that they don't? | |
| Even that question makes you a traitor. | |
| You can't ask it. | |
| Who are you to ask questions like that? | |
| President Biden spoke to the nation yesterday and managed to be rambling and meandering, even though he only spoke for 10 minutes and didn't take any questions. | |
| Of the parts of his speech which were intelligible amid all of the drunken dementia-riddled slurring and stuttering, this perhaps was the most important. | |
| Biden said that there will be costs that your family will have to bear for the sake of Ukraine. | |
| Listen. | |
| Defending freedom will have cost for us as well and here at home. | |
| We need to be honest about that. | |
| But as we do this, I'm going to take robust action to make sure the pain of our sanctions is targeted at a Russian economy, not ours. | |
| Now, you might point out that gas prices were already high. | |
| That's true, but it's a fact that the administration hopes you forget, and most people probably will forget it, as we're all like the guy in Memento with a memory that resets itself every 45 minutes. | |
| But from here forward, every bad thing happening in our country will be because of the Ukraine crisis and thus because of Russia and Putin. | |
| CBS News got the memo and published this headline this morning. | |
| Here's the headline. | |
| The U.S. economy has been hit with increased gas prices, inflation, and supply chain issues due to the Ukraine crisis. | |
| Now, sure, we had increased gas prices, inflation, and supply chain issues last month and the month before that and before that and before that and before that and before that. | |
| But it turns out that all of those problems were caused by the things that Putin is doing right now. | |
| He's more dangerous than we thought. | |
| Apparently, he has a time machine, too. | |
| But even if the administration plays this game, it's still true that our involvement in the Ukraine crisis, which is only really a crisis because we've chosen to treat it as one, will come with a cost. | |
| And it'll be a cost primarily paid by you and by me and our families, not Joe Biden. | |
| If this does escalate to a full-scale war, that'll be another cost paid exclusively by us and not by the ones who caused the war. | |
| This raises another important question. | |
| Why should we have to pay any cost at all? | |
| Why should my family be forced to suffer any consequences whatsoever or make any sacrifices whatsoever for Ukraine? | |
| As it happens, a reporter at the White House briefing yesterday did ask this very question. | |
| He asked Jen Posaki, why Americans should have to bear any cost for the sake of Ukrainian sovereignty. | |
| I mean, how do you make that sales pitch? | |
| How do you tell American families who are already hurting from all of these things that they have to hurt more now for Ukrainian sovereignty? | |
| What does that have to do with us? | |
| Here was the answer. | |
| Well, I think what hopefully the American people who are tuning into this or have been tuning into this will see is that the President of the United States and his entire national security Apparatus have been rallying the world and standing up against the efforts of Russia to invade and carve out a chunk of another country for their own. | |
| And that is the world is standing with the United States against the actions of President Putin. | |
| Now, why does that matter? | |
| I realize that's what you're asking me. | |
| Why does that matter to the American people? | |
| That should matter because that is a fundamental value that we as a country stand up for. | |
| And we stand up against that type of action. | |
| That goes back to World War II and we have repeatedly throughout history been leaders in the world in rallying support for any efforts to seize territory from another country. | |
| When the President spoke to the American people last week, it was very important to him to be very direct and clear and straightforward with them about what this could mean as we looked to what the impact of an invasion could mean and also what the impact of sanctions could mean and the fact that standing up for values is not without cost, including in this case. | |
| Well, there you have it. | |
| The White House doesn't even pretend that American families are somehow at risk because of Putin's actions in Ukraine. | |
| If that was the case and if they could make that case, they would have made it. | |
| That's the strongest case. | |
| They don't even pretend that our involvement is to protect and defend our own people. | |
| They say that this is about standing up for values, which is the same justification given for every bad and disastrous conflict we've involved ourselves in for the last several decades. | |
| We have to stand for values. | |
| But what values? | |
| The value that says no country should ever invade another country? | |
| How is that a value? | |
| There are, again, invasions and incursions and conflicts all over the globe, everywhere, all the time. | |
| Do our values stipulate that we have to play referee in all of those disputes? | |
| And I have to ask, who appointed us referee anyway? | |
| What right do we have to assume that role, especially since we've been known to do plenty of invading ourselves? | |
| No, that can't be the value. | |
| So what is it? | |
| What values are we supposedly fighting for? | |
| Is it the value of freedom? | |
| Well, what is freedom? | |
| Our government is run by people who think freedom includes the mass slaughter of infants. | |
| To them, we have to kill 60 million babies for freedom. | |
| That's freedom. | |
| They think freedom must sometimes involve shutting down thousands of private businesses by force, closing up churches, forcing kids to wear muzzles for two years in a row. | |
| That's their idea of freedom. | |
| They believe in the kind of freedom that includes chemically castrating 11-year-old boys. | |
| Freedom for them might also involve censoring unsafe political opinions. | |
| They believe in the kind of freedom that has turned our cities into crime-infested wastelands. | |
| Is that the kind of freedom that we now want to export overseas? | |
| Is that what we're out there defending so valiantly? | |
| See, the we must defend our values thing was always foolish, but now it's also foolish, but as well incoherent. | |
| Because how can we, quote unquote, defend our quote-unquote values when we don't share any values? | |
| What's this our values stuff? | |
| Speak for yourself, Pasaki. | |
| I don't have any of your values. | |
| We have no values in common at all, none. | |
| The Biden administration just hired a drag queen BDSM dog fetishist to help run our energy policy. | |
| Is that another of the values that we have to defend? | |
| As far as they're concerned, it is. | |
| CRT, gender ideology, racism, anti-Christian, anti-tradition, anti-human. | |
| These are their values. | |
| I don't just not share them. | |
| I hate those values. | |
| I am at war against those values. | |
| And now they want me and all the rest of us to go to war in defense of values that we detest? | |
| They call for our loyalty and fidelity after years spent treating us like scum and labeling us domestic terrorists. | |
| And they expect us to just go along. |
