00:00:00.000Disney insiders brag about injecting LGBTQIA plus minus divided sign, percentage sign, little tilde thing that goes over Spanish letters, propaganda into kids' content.
00:00:10.000Jon Stewart says white people are all racist.
00:00:13.000And Kamala Harris says lynchings are not a thing of the past.
00:00:17.000She's the black vice president, by the way.
00:00:50.000Think about how much of your life is on the internet.
00:00:51.000Sadly, every site you visit, video you watch, message you send gets tracked and datamined.

00:01:40.000Alrighty, so Ron DeSantis, the most evil governor in America, of course, signed into law the Florida Parental Rights and Education Bill, which says merely that you are not allowed to indoctrinate, without parental permission, small children into your sexual orientation and gender identity nonsense.
00:01:58.000And it's a national issue because the left has decided, they really believe this, that you should be able, and you must, in fact, as a moral person, indoctrinate small children into gender fluidity and Equality of sexual orientation at the youngest possible ages.
00:02:15.000The White House yesterday, Kat Bedingfield, over at the White House, she actually said that the Department of Education is now going to evaluate whether or not this Florida bill, this Parental Rights and Education Act, violates federal civil rights law.
00:02:28.000Because in 1965, when they were writing the Civil Rights Act, what they clearly had in mind is that your child, your five-year-old, should be taken away from you and informed that he might be a she.
00:02:38.000And if you won't allow your child to be taken away by the local authorities and indoctrinated in a bunch of absolute gobbledygook nonsense damaging to your child, then this means that you're violating federal civil rights law.
00:02:50.000Here is the White House making this announcement yesterday.
00:02:53.000The president also put out a statement yesterday about the tragic impact of this kind of law on an incredibly vulnerable population.
00:03:04.000And he said that by signing this bill, the governor has chosen to target some of Florida's most vulnerable students and families, all while under the guise of parents' rights.
00:03:13.000So the Department of Education, as you noted, will monitor this law upon implementation to evaluate whether it violates federal civil rights law.
00:04:35.000Now, I understand that the left wishes to say that this is rigid.
00:04:38.000It's encoded in your DNA and what you are and how you identify.
00:04:42.000All of that is encoded in your DNA from the time that you were a small baby and it's manifest at the age of five.
00:04:47.000First of all, your sexual behavior is not manifest at the age of five because you don't actually have the hormones necessary for sexual behavior to take place manifesting in your body at the age of five.
00:04:56.000When people say that there's a gay child at the age of five, the answer is there's no such thing as a gay child at the age of five because no one is gay or straight at the age of five because no one is sexually oriented at the age of five.
00:05:06.000You don't have the hormones that are capable of orienting you sexually at the age of five.
00:05:10.000You don't even have the hormones capable of giving you a sexual feeling at the age of five.
00:05:13.000But anyone who denies this is denying biology.
00:05:16.000So kids are not gay, they're not straight, they're not sexual beings.
00:05:20.000This is precisely why we have pedophilia laws in this country.
00:05:23.000Because kids are not sexual beings and therefore should not be sexualized at the age of five.
00:05:57.000There is no such thing as a genetic encoding of behavior in you.
00:06:02.000It does not work that way when it comes to your choice of sexual partner or your choice of sexual lifestyle.
00:06:07.000Those are all choices you get to make as a human being.
00:06:09.000Now, that doesn't mean that all those choices are equally easy or equally desirable.
00:06:14.000This is not an argument in favor of you choosing a particular sexual lifestyle, one or another.
00:06:19.000What it does mean is that to pretend that people's sexual thoughts, people's sexual behavior is not malleable, runs counter to literally all available evidence.
00:06:29.000Which is why, for example, you have seen skyrocketing rates of trans identification.
00:06:33.000This is not because gender dysphoria, which is in fact a biologically ingrained condition, it's a disorder as listed under the DSM-5, gender dysphoria, or gender identity disorder, whichever term you choose to use.
00:06:46.000It is not that that has become wildly more prevalent at this biological moment in time.
00:06:52.000That until now, evolution had basically bottlenecked gender identity disorder and gender dysphoria, but now, magically, boom!
00:06:58.000No one knows why, there's just a massive genetic uptick in gender identity disorder or gender dysphoria in the last generation alone.
00:07:05.000Either that, or it turns out that how people identify and how people think of themselves, a lot of that is defined by societal rules.
00:07:11.000A lot of that is defined by societal norms and by incentive structures.
00:07:16.000In other words, there is a reason why there's been a massive uptick in trans identification among young people.
00:07:22.000Well, at this point, it seems as though you might think gender theory and radical gender ideology, it's a waste of time.
00:07:27.000Well, you shouldn't be wasting your time in any case, not even when you go to the auto parts store.
00:07:31.000So here's the thing, you go to the auto parts store, you wait in line, you finally get up to the front and the guy at the front, the long hair and the face tattoo is like, brah!
00:07:40.000I'm going to order it and I'm going to upcharge you 67%.
00:07:42.000They're like, Beto, what are you working here for?
00:07:45.000He's like, well, I was running for governor, but I lost again.
00:07:47.000They're like, well, yeah, but if you don't want to deal with Beto and you just want to go to rockauto.com and get the part, that's probably your better move.
00:07:53.000Why would you choose to spend 30%, 50%, 100% more for the exact same auto parts at a chain store or new car dealership?
00:08:00.000rockauto.com is a family business serving auto parts customers online for 20 years.
00:08:04.000Head on over to rockauto.com to shop for auto and body parts from hundreds of manufacturers.
00:08:08.000They have everything from engine control modules and brake parts to tail lamps and motor oil, even new carpet.
00:08:12.000Whether it's for your classic or daily driver, get everything you need in a few easy clicks delivered directly to your door.
00:08:45.000Historically, childhood gender dysphoria afflicted about 0.01% of the population, almost exclusively boys.
00:08:52.000Before 2012, there was no scientific literature on girls aged 11 to 21 ever having developed gender dysphoria.
00:08:58.000In the past decade, that has changed dramatically.
00:09:00.000The Western world has seen a sudden surge of adolescents claiming to have gender dysphoria and self-identifying as transgender.
00:09:06.000In Britain, Canada, Sweden, and Finland, clinicians and gender therapists began reporting a dramatic shift in the demographics of those presenting with gender dysphoria from predominantly preschool-aged boys to predominantly adolescent girls.
00:09:17.000In Britain, in 2018, there was a 4,400% rise over the previous decade in teenage girls seeking gender treatment.
00:09:25.000Does that sound like evolutionary biology just suddenly reversed itself?
00:09:29.000Suddenly, the biologically encoded behavior of human beings change radically overnight.
00:10:10.000If you look at the latest Gallup poll, this came out like a month and a half ago, latest Gallup poll, Americans' self-identification as LGBT by generation.
00:10:19.000You'd imagine there would be a fair level of stability.
00:10:21.000I mean, this is, of course, the most key component, we have been told, of your identity.
00:11:14.00092.2% identify as straight or heterosexual, 7.1% no response.
00:11:19.000For baby boomers, people born between 1946 and 1964, 2.6% identify as LBGTQ.
00:11:28.000For Generation X, born between 1965 and 1980, starts to rise to 50.
00:11:34.000For Millennials, it more than doubles.
00:11:39.000For people born between the ages 1981 and 1996, everybody who's essentially below the age of 40, between the ages of say 40 and 25, 10.5% identify as LGBT.
00:11:54.000And for Generation Z, born 1997 to 2003, 20.8%.
00:12:25.000If you carry this forward and you say people who are born, say, after 2003, that number is going to look more like 25% or 30%.
00:12:30.000Now that is a result of society changing its rules.
00:12:37.000Now, what people will say is that, well, this is because we live a freer and better life.
00:12:40.000This is because we have decided to remove the shackles.
00:12:43.000If these shackles had been removed in 1946, then yeah, all the old people, all the 80-year-olds, all the 90-year-olds, they too would be LGBTQ.
00:12:49.000Or alternatively, we live in a system in which there's a massive social contagion, in which this sort of behavior is rewarded, and you're considered a victimized minority in our society.
00:13:00.000And in which there is an active push by the top levels of our culture toward children.
00:13:05.000There's an attempt to teach children in order to validate these particular political, yes, and sexual lifestyle choices.
00:13:13.000In order to validate those choices, we are going to go to small children and we are going to encourage those small children to engage in a wide variety of sexual thoughts and sexual behaviors.
00:13:25.000And we're going to encourage this at the youngest possible.
00:13:26.000We're going to do this at five, six, seven years old.
00:13:28.000We're going to ingrain in them that the natural state of things is not a mommy and a daddy producing a baby.
00:13:37.000To understand, this is the making of utopia.
00:13:39.000The utopia that the radical sexual revolutionaries wanted in the 1960s is now achievable.
00:13:44.000All you have to do is get small kids away from their parents and indoctrinate them in this set of values, and they will change their behaviors, they'll start experimenting, they'll start identifying in particular ways, and then you will have created an entire society that validates your choices.
00:14:35.000They're not mad because they misunderstand the Florida bill.
00:14:37.000They're mad because they understand the Florida bill.
00:14:40.000They're not mad because they're lying about the Florida bill.
00:14:43.000They're mad because they know what the Florida bill actually says and they actually oppose it.
00:14:47.000The Florida bill does not say that you can't say gay anywhere in Florida.
00:14:51.000It doesn't say that if you are a kid and you go to class and you have two dads because you're a surrogate baby or because you were adopted or whatever.
00:14:58.000It doesn't say that you can't say my two dads and I went on vacation this weekend.
00:15:16.000There are a bunch of people in the middle who maybe lied about, maybe they heard the lies from the media, and so they misunderstand the bill, and so they are assessing their opinions based on the lies of the media.
00:15:25.000The media say, don't say gay, and they're like, oh, that sounds terrible.
00:15:55.000This is not about the protection of kids who identify as trans, gender dysphoric, small children who are a minute percentage of the population and who ought to be treated with the highest level of care and watchful waiting.
00:16:07.000Not gender confirmation surgeries and hormone treatments and social transitioning away from their parents, the people who care about the most.
00:16:17.000Because the rule on the left is if you can find somebody who you can pretend is the sympathetic victim of a law, you can change the entire societal standard.
00:16:24.000So they have to invent the victims of the law.
00:16:27.000There are no victims of this Florida law.
00:16:30.000The law is designed to protect small children.
00:16:32.000They don't want small children protected.
00:16:34.000They want to invade the privacy of small children.
00:18:02.000What they are doing, however, is ideological grooming.
00:18:06.000What they are doing is political grooming.
00:18:08.000If we can indoctrinate your kids in a particular belief system regarding morality and immorality, regarding what is good and what is bad and what is acceptable and what is celebrated, then we will have groomed you politically.
00:18:42.000But again, we have a society run by people who are adults who act like children and believe that children must be treated like adults so they can act like children.
00:19:06.000They know exactly what the bill says and they don't like what the bill says.
00:19:09.000They don't like what the bill says because the bill runs directly counter to their agenda and their ideological agenda is perfectly clear as we're going to get to in just one moment.
00:19:17.000So, for example, there's a teacher on MSNBC yesterday, and this teacher said, you know, I can't believe this.
00:19:22.000I won't be able to talk about my sex and love life with my kindergartners.
00:19:26.000Who gave you the right to talk about your sex and love life with your kindergartners?
00:19:48.000The whole goal here is to hijack your kids and to shape your kids so that those kids reflect the values of the teacher.
00:19:56.000Because they want to be surrogate parents. This is what they want.
00:19:59.000As a parent, my job is to shield my kids and protect their innocence. And yes, to inculcate in them values that I think are important. The left feels the same way.
00:20:07.000They just want their values to prevail with your kids. Here's this clip from MSNBC.
00:20:11.000It scares me to death that I'm not going to be able to have these conversations with my children because they're going to ask me what I did on the weekend.
00:20:21.000I don't want to have to hide that my partner and I went paddle boarding this weekend, because then they ask, well, what does partner mean, Mr. Bernard?
00:21:00.000By the way, there's a quick and easy answer to this.
00:21:02.000If he says, I went with my partner paddle boarding over the weekend, which by the way, look, why are you talking to kindergartners about this?
00:21:46.000And you see this most of all at Disney, okay, because Disney is a company directed solely and completely at the production of safe and innocent magic for children.
00:21:55.000I'm so annoyed by this, irritated by this, because yes, I grew up on Disney, because everyone grows up on Disney.
00:22:04.000I love taking my kids to Disney World, but I swear to God, if these a**holes decide that they are going to indoctrinate my kids and their left-wing values via their movies, I will never watch their movies.
00:22:14.000My kids will live a perfectly happy life like millions of people, billions of people all over the world have, never having visited Disney World if they decide to make these choices.
00:22:22.000It is not their job to raise my kids with their values.
00:22:24.000So the entire left has now embraced the proposition that you should be able to sexually indoctrinate children.
00:22:29.000Well, if this makes you uncomfortable, let me make you a little more comfortable by telling you about something that will make your life better.
00:22:35.000That, of course, is Tommy John underwear.
00:22:37.000When you're wearing Tommy John's hammock pouch underwear, you're that much more comfortable.
00:24:00.000They want your kids and they want them bad.
00:24:03.000That is the message that is coming out of Disney right now.
00:24:06.000I said to my wife this morning, here's the thing.
00:24:09.000If you're a parent, it's hard being a parent.
00:24:11.000If you're a parent, and you just want a break for an hour on a Sunday, and you're like, okay, you know what, I'll use the TV as the babysitter, and my kids like the music, and they like the bright colors, and fine, you know, let them watch Encanto.
00:24:55.000I can't just turn on Disney Plus and put on a movie.
00:24:58.000I mean, for God's sake, I can't even put on an old movie on Disney Plus without having a warning about how Peter Pan is racist or something.
00:25:43.000Really, Disney is counting on the laziness of parents to get away with this.
00:25:46.000They're counting on the laziness of parents.
00:25:49.000To basically say, yeah, we know you're spending multi-million dollars on the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and I do like the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.
00:25:55.000So, you know, that means that I will allow my kids to watch whatever Pride Festival film you have decided to jam into their little brains.
00:26:03.000I think they're underestimating parents by a pretty long shot, because it turns out that for the vast majority of parents, this is my number one priority in life is protecting my kids.
00:26:27.000If Disney wants my money, they're going to have to not attack me as a parent.
00:26:32.000And the reason I say this is because, again, the clips that you're about to listen to and watch here from this meeting, this Disney executive meeting, are astonishing.
00:26:41.000So here is Disney executive producer Latoya Raveneau.
00:26:45.000It is an executive producer, Latoya Raveneau.
00:26:47.000And this person is about to tell you that she has leveraged what she calls her not-so-secret gay agenda into children's television.
00:28:38.000I've had the privilege of working with the Moon Girl team for the last two years, and they've been really open to exploring queer stories.
00:28:45.000And part of, I'm on the production side, part of the work that I feel like I can put in is making sure that we take place in modern day New York.
00:28:55.000So making sure that that's like an accurate reflection of New York.
00:28:58.000So I put together like a tracker of our background characters to make sure that we have like the full breadth of expression.
00:29:10.000How about the Disney Diversity and Inclusion Manager, Vivian Ware?
00:29:14.000This person says that Disney has now eliminated, at their parks, all mentions, you ready for this?
00:29:20.000Of ladies, gentlemen, boys, and girls.
00:29:23.000Now, as a former Disney annual pass holder when I lived in SoCal, I can say that this was the way that they basically announced pretty much all the parades.
00:29:31.000For example, you'd have a parade down Main Street and it would be, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls.
00:29:35.000Now, they're not going to use that anymore.
00:30:30.000What an opportunity to not use language describing actual human beings, but to use language so generic that it describes aliens and animals and... Hello, friends.
00:30:43.000Hello, fr... That's not the most radical stuff.
00:30:45.000For the most radical stuff, you have to wait for the Disney corporate president, Kerry Burke.
00:30:50.000So this person is about to tell you that 50%, she wants 50% of all characters on Disney to be LGBTQIA plus minus divided by sign, percentage sign, backslash colon, or people of color.
00:31:54.000It just happens to be that in Hollywood, an extraordinary, exorbitant number of kids in liberal areas are now identifying as trans and LGBTQIA plus minus and all the rest of it.
00:32:04.000It must just be biological bottlenecks or something.
00:32:06.000Or maybe it has to do with the social incentive structure and the values being taught to children.
00:32:10.000Maybe as it turns out, I am correct that both children are malleable and sexual behavior is malleable.
00:32:42.000This group of people who have decided that it is very important to indoctrinate your kids, this is what you want?
00:32:50.000So Florida passes this law to prevent this stuff in kindergarten to third grade, and the left goes absolutely nuts, and Disney goes absolutely nuts, and you know what?
00:33:23.000They wanted to make a statement, broadly speaking, about how they oppose this bill so they can placate the loudest voices inside their own contingent.
00:33:30.000That's what they really wanted in the end.
00:33:33.000However, what they say behind closed doors is the thing.
00:33:36.000What they say behind closed doors is, we don't oppose this bill because it's a don't-say-gay bill.
00:33:41.000We know it's not a don't-say-gay bill.
00:33:43.000We oppose this bill because we want to indoctrinate your kids.
00:33:47.000We oppose this bill because we wish to be the activists who determine what your children think and feel and believe and what the future trajectory of their sexual lives looks like.
00:33:59.000That's what they are saying to each other behind closed doors, running the most powerful corporations on planet Earth that mainline entertainment and values directly into the brains of your kids.
00:34:11.000Meanwhile, Ron DeSantis over in Florida, the governor, he makes a pretty obvious point.
00:34:15.000He says, you know, I've noticed that if there were a bill that banned the discussing of oppression of Uyghurs, Disney would be first on board.
00:34:22.000People ask me, you know, kind of about, you know, their posture on the bill.
00:34:27.000If we would have put in the bill that you were not allowed to have curriculum that discuss the oppression of the Uyghurs in China, Disney would have endorsed that in a second.
00:34:39.000I will also point out here that Disney uses Americans because we are more tolerant, because we are more moderate in our social politics and all of this.
00:34:47.000They actually use us as the social experiment and our kids as the social experiment.
00:34:50.000You notice that they're not pulling out of Disney Tokyo.
00:34:54.000They're not doing any of that, even though same-sex marriage, by the way, is still not legal in Japan.
00:35:20.000Well, all of this stuff is extraordinarily tiring.

00:36:50.000Jonathan's book will be about the rise of his basketball career, his journey into faith, his strength to stand alone in the face of immense pressure.
00:36:56.000The book is available for pre-order right now at Amazon.
00:37:55.000Doing a, first of all, the screen cap is everything.
00:37:58.000It is a white man sitting in front of a bill, in front of a board that says, the problem with white people, the problem with white people, and it's a bunch of people, white people looking like they are carving a turkey for dinner.
00:38:58.000It does apply to him because Jon Stewart is about assuring his own comfort, his own ideological comfort.
00:39:03.000It makes him feel better to dissociate from the other bad white people.
00:39:07.000When he says this, he becomes one of the good white people.
00:39:09.000There's a point that black author Shelby Steele has made repeatedly in his book, White Guilt, that so much of our current Media, culture, so much of our elite culture is driven by white liberals who wish to run the whole thing.
00:39:22.000And no more even white liberals, white radical leftists who wish to run the whole thing.
00:39:25.000And the way that they get to maintain their moral imprimatur is by condemning all the other bad white people, all the other bigoted people.
00:39:33.000And Jon Stewart is indicative of this case.
00:39:36.000And so there is this very strange and awkward exchange between Jon Stewart And Andrew Sullivan, who is a gay white man, and a crazy white race-baiting lady named Lisa Bond.
00:39:49.000Lisa Bond runs an organization that is just one of the great grifts I've ever heard of.
00:39:55.000I've talked about it on the program before.
00:39:56.000She runs it with Sarah I. Rao, and the entire thing is, she gets together with guilty white, upper-crust liberals, and she lectures them about racism.
00:40:08.000It costs $2,500, and you can enlist the services of Race to Dinner, according to Mediite, whose helpful grifters will come to your house, eat your food, and tell you how racist you are.
00:40:43.000So I don't know Lisa Bond's sexual orientation, but assuming that she's not gay, this means that he outranks her on the intersectional hierarchy because Andrew Sullivan is openly gay.
00:40:53.000That doesn't matter, because Andrew Sullivan is about to say something that is not in line with leftist thinking.
00:40:57.000You only get to be on the leftist intersectional hierarchy if you agree with everything that they say.
00:41:01.000Which is how Jon Stewart gets to say the things he says.
00:41:03.000So Lisa Bond is about to rip into Andrew Sullivan, and Jon Stewart will agree.
00:41:07.000Because Jon Stewart has lost the thread.
00:41:09.000Because left-wing America has lost the thread.
00:41:31.000If I could finger snap, I would finger snap right now.
00:41:37.000Look at all these white people talk about how morally superior to you they are.
00:41:41.000We have to talk about it, says LisaVaughn.
00:41:43.000Okay, let's talk about how much money you are making off of stupid radical leftists who think that they've alleviated their white guilt by hiring a white broad to tell them about their own internalized racism.
00:42:15.000Which, by the way, is a violation of the Civil Rights Act.
00:42:18.000And we talked at the beginning of the show about the Biden administration suggesting it's a violation of the Civil Rights Act for you to say, I don't want my kindergartner indoctrinated with LGBTQ propaganda.
00:42:27.000You know what's actually a violation of the Civil Rights Act?
00:42:31.000That is a violation not only of the Civil Rights Act, it's a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
00:42:40.000According to NPR, at an owners' meeting this week in Florida, the league announced other diversity steps as well.
00:42:45.000A six-person committee of advisors from outside the NFL to review the league's hiring practices, and a commitment by teams to increase diversity among team owners, a fraternity that's almost entirely white.
00:42:56.000The NFL says teams have to actually hire a quote, a female or a member of an ethnic or racial minority as an offensive assistant coach in 2022.
00:43:04.000So it's now a make work program for affirmative action candidates over in the NFL.
00:43:12.000And this myth must continue to be parade that America is a deeply racist country.
00:43:16.000Despite the fact that by polling data, we are perhaps the least, the least racist country on planet earth.
00:43:21.000It's amazing how critics of America have spent zero time actually investigating other countries.
00:43:26.000You're so solipsistic and self-centered.
00:43:27.000The only country on earth, apparently, is America.
00:43:30.000So, yesterday, for example, the Biden administration signed into law a bill that passed nearly unanimously that made lynching a federal hate crime.
00:45:03.000Here is Joe Biden talking about how we need an anti-lynching law today because racial hate is a persistent problem.
00:45:10.000From the bullets in the back of Ahmaud Arbery to countless other acts of violence, countless victims known and unknown, the same racial hatred that drove the mob to hang a noose brought that mob carrying torches out of the fields of Charlottesville just a few years ago.
00:45:57.000So again, the anti-lynching law was basically just sort of a launching off point for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to suggest that America is a deeply racist country, vote for me.
00:46:05.000So Kamala Harris said this yesterday also.
00:46:08.000By the way, This human, Kamala Harris, tweeted out in support of Jussie Smollett after Jussie Smollett did this about how Jussie Smollett had been lynched.
00:46:18.000So I will just take whatever Kamala Harris says with a grain of salt, but here is faux sincere Kamala Harris saying that lynching is not actually a relic of the past.
00:47:33.000I'm just going to give you the total, because at a certain point, basically once you get past maybe 1909, pretty much everybody who's getting lynched is black.
00:48:34.000But the entire goal of the left here is to, of course, suggest that America remains a deeply racist country, the same country that lynched Emmett Till would lynch black people today if they could get away with it.
00:48:46.000This is the elite mentality when it comes to this country.
00:48:49.000Everything can be shoehorned or pushed into the box of racism.
00:48:55.000This also happens to be how the media is approaching the Will Smith debacle.
00:49:00.000So Will Smith, and basically it's over at this point because Will Smith apologized.
00:49:03.000I'm sure Chris Rock will accept the apology and we will all move on and pretend that none of this ever happened except for the memes, which will remain as they should because the memes are awesome.
00:49:11.000But the left has its take and its take is, of course, that what happened between Will Smith, a black man, and Chris Rock, a black man, is because of white supremacy.
00:49:22.000Most people agree the slap shouldn't have happened, but there's something that feels precious at best, and downright racist at worst, about white people's reaction to the now infamous smack.
00:49:31.000The radio host Howard Stern compared Smith to Donald Trump, while white women on Twitter somehow decided Smith's actions meant he must be beating his wife.
00:49:38.000It would seem there's a layer of hyperviolence that's being projected onto Smith simply because he is a black man who is defending his black wife.
00:49:45.000Well, no, I think that the hyperviolence being projected onto Smith is because he walked up in the middle of one of the most watched broadcasts in America and smacked another man in the face on public television.
00:49:58.000It turns out that if you want to label somebody hyperviolent, it turns out that it's not all that hard to do when they just walk up to somebody and beat them on live television.
00:50:06.000While it's justifiable, says this columnist, important even, to interrogate his motives for delivering the slap, it's clear that the backlash against Smith is rooted in not just anti-Blackness, but respectability politics as well.
00:50:18.000It's not about just what Smith did, it's where he did it and who was watching.
00:50:24.000I find it hard to believe that the same white audiences who consume violence against black people on screen to an almost fetishistic degree are so distraught about an open palm slap.
00:50:32.000Again, this kind of performative pearl clutching is only ever reserved for black men who mess up.
00:50:36.000Okay, so let me just point something out right here.
00:50:38.000Let's say that Bradley Cooper had gotten up and beat the... beat... like the redheaded stepchild, Chris Rock.
00:50:47.000Whoever Bradley Cooper is dating right now, let's say that this person had been insulted by Chris Rock, and Bradley Cooper had gotten up and just smacked Chris Rock.
00:50:55.000How do you think that would have gone?
00:50:59.000You think that would have allowed him to remain?
00:51:02.000Or, let's say, for example, That Chris Rock had not been Chris Rock.
00:51:22.000They just would have immediately removed him from the Oscars, put a crown on his head, and he would be king of America.
00:51:27.000So you're telling me that this is about anti-blackness, but in the left view, everything is about anti-blackness because America is racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe.
00:52:23.000A lot of people tried to explain Donald Trump away by talking about his politics.
00:52:27.000They tried to say that the reason that Donald Trump was elected in 2016 is because Donald Trump was a populist who was anti-free trade in his rhetoric.
00:52:46.000And the more the left decides that they are going to hijack our kids, and call you a racist, and have dinner with Sarah Irel, and suggest that you can't speak up on topics, and the more they rip on you for saying that it is bad to smack people for telling a joke, the more they do this sort of stuff, the more people are going to rebel by picking whoever is the biggest pulsating middle finger and just throwing it out there at the left.
00:53:30.000You can continue to give them what they want.
00:53:31.000You can continue to assume good motives on their part.
00:53:34.000Or, you can look at what they say behind closed doors over at Disney, or what they say quite openly, if you're Jon Stewart, and you can say to yourself, you know what?
00:53:40.000I don't feel like patronizing these folks, because they hate my guts.
00:53:44.000And not only do they hate my guts, they see me as a dangerous obstacle to them, by dint of the fact that I am a parent, and I wish to raise my children with my values.
00:53:54.000The best way to strike back against these folks is to parent your kids with your values and protect your kids.
00:53:57.000That is the number one way that you will end up victorious in life and that your kids will end up with a successful, happy life.
00:54:03.000Because I promise you, the kids of these folks... I mean...
00:54:13.000The folks who raise these kids with their values, those kids do not look like the happiest of children.
00:54:18.000They don't look and they don't seem like the happiest of people as they grow into adults.
00:54:21.000And our society does not seem massively happier for having embraced a set of values that wishes to subsume basic morality under the rubric of personal authenticity and indoctrination of other people's kids.
00:54:33.000All right, we'll be back here later today with an additional hour of content.
00:54:36.000In the meantime, go check out the Michael Nolans show that's available right now.
00:55:08.000Washburn University's president, a man who invited me, personally invited me by signing a contract to give a speech there tomorrow, has now sent a campus-wide email condemning me for the speech that I have not yet given.
00:55:22.000Disney has gotten caught peddling transgenderism to kids, and Joe Biden outlaws a crime that does not happen and is already illegal.
