MATT WALSH (HOST): First of all, no. You cannot legislate healing. She says you could we could legislate healing. No. There is no legislation that can heal anything. Nobody's ever been healed by legislation. I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't. I wish all physical and emotional wounds could be healed with — I wish you could pass the, physical and emotional wound healing act of 2025, and everybody would just feel better, but it doesn't work that way. And especially in this case, because there is nothing to heal.
Yes, Ayanna Pressley, you should just get over it. Yeah. You need to get over slavery. You do. You definitely do. Get the hell over it. You need to get over it. Yeah. Your whole life revolves around pity and emotional blackmail and whining incessantly about the past. That's your whole life, and it's pathetic and it's grotesque, and you need to just get over it. Yeah.
You see, because if you had yourself suffered some outrage, some indignity, some terrible experience years ago, and all you did was just talk about it and whine about it, then I would tell you that, at a certain point in your life, you do need to get over even that and get back to living your life. Like, no matter what happens to you, at a certain point, you have to get over it at least enough so that you can live a life and focus on other things. And that's what I would say if you personally had suffered some, some sort of terrible event. But if the terrible thing happened a hundred and fifty years ago to people who are all dead now, to people who are all not you, then, yes, even more so, you need to get over it.
Because it's not even your thing to get over. It didn't happen to you, Ayanna. You are a United States congresswoman. You're doing fine. You have a you have you have achieved nothing in your position. You've done absolutely nothing in your position. Not a single damn thing. You don't deserve to be where you are. You've done nothing for this country or even for your own constituents, and yet you still have this very powerful position that you don't deserve. So you're doing great. You're doing better than most people. Slavery did not happen to you. Stop trying to cash in on the suffering of other people. Get your own suffering, damn it. You thief. You're a thief. You are a thief. You are stealing other people's suffering and pretending it's your own. Get your own.
