The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1007 - Media Celebrates 10-Year-Old 'Trans' Runway Model

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the media celebrates the youngest trans model in the country.

00:00:04.700 The child is only 10, and his story, far from inspirational, is tragic and terrifying.

00:00:09.340 Also, after a disastrous career, Dr. Fauci finally decides to go away, sort of.

00:00:14.540 A university sets up black-only housing to protect black students from white violence, they say.

00:00:20.220 The Toronto police brag about seizing a firearm that was manufactured during the French and Indian War.

00:00:24.560 Michael Jackson fans are mad at Harry Styles.

00:00:26.540 And in our daily cancellation, can college students name our country's capital?

00:00:31.620 Do they even know that we have a capital?

00:00:33.300 We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:45.440 In a society rife with anti-religious ideologies, like the ones we hear from the left on a daily basis,

00:00:50.340 it can be incredibly challenging to ground oneself in what we know to be true and good.

00:01:56.680 Back in October of 2020, a woman named Sarah Melger brought her then one-month-old baby to the hospital,

00:02:05.000 reporting that the child suffered from a number of serious health problems.

00:02:09.080 She said that he wouldn't eat and he was constantly vomiting.

00:02:12.200 She had told the child's father that he had a fever of 102.5, which is a dangerous temperature for a child that age.

00:02:19.720 She said that he had heart defects.

00:02:21.400 She told other family members that the baby suffered from hearing problems as well as Down syndrome.

00:02:26.680 Twice over the course of two months, the hospital performed spinal taps on the baby,

00:02:30.900 inserting a needle in between two vertebrae to test him for sepsis.

00:02:35.980 A couple of months later, she was back at the hospital frantically claiming that the child wouldn't eat and he was dehydrated.

00:02:41.880 So a feeding tube was inserted.

00:02:44.040 Over time, the stories about the child's medical problems became increasingly dramatic and disturbing and also fictional.

00:02:52.260 There was no sepsis.

00:02:53.360 There was no fever.

00:02:53.980 There was no vomiting or hearing problems or eating problems.

00:02:57.620 The child didn't have Down syndrome.

00:03:00.260 Sarah Melger had made all of that up.

00:03:02.780 It was Munchausen by proxy, a disorder where a caretaker, almost always a mother, pretends that a child is sick.

00:03:09.160 And she does this for attention or for sympathy, maybe because she derives some sort of sick satisfaction from watching her child suffer.

00:03:17.280 Perhaps it's a combination of these things.

00:03:18.840 Whatever her twisted reasons, Melger was eventually arrested and charged and finally this summer convicted of three counts of injury to a child.

00:03:27.700 Now, her sentence, community supervision, was outrageously lenient.

00:03:32.620 But at least she won't be able to contact her child, who certainly is better off now, never seeing his deranged, abusive mother ever again.

00:03:40.540 But Munchausen takes other, more pervasive and even more disturbing forms.

00:03:47.180 Worst of all, these other forms that it takes are perfectly legal by the standards of our laws today.

00:03:53.380 More than legal, actually, they're celebrated.

00:03:56.520 They may even result in a modeling contract.

00:03:58.820 So this month, a 10-year-old boy named Noella McMahon has been making headlines as the youngest, quote, trans model in the country.

00:04:09.160 Now, of course, it would be creepy and inappropriate to put a 10-year-old on the runway no matter what, whether it's a boy or a girl.

00:04:17.860 And most everyone agrees in most situations that it's creepy and inappropriate, as things like, you know, child beauty pageants have finally fallen out of favor in recent years, and rightfully so.

00:04:29.920 But exceptions are made for cases like this boy, because he allegedly does not identify as a boy.

00:04:35.980 You know, in our culture, it is wildly offensive to dress little girls up in lots of makeup and parade them around, and it should be seen as offensive. 0.62

00:04:43.760 But it's beautiful and brave to do the exact same thing to a little boy.

00:04:49.760 Outlets like Out Magazine have been raving about Noella.

00:04:53.180 Reading now from their article says,

00:04:55.360 10-year-old Noella McMahon is already making her dreams come true.

00:04:58.940 Six years after she began transitioning, six years, okay, the child is 10,

00:05:05.960 Noella has made history as the youngest out trans model ever to walk a runway during New York Fashion Week 0.51

00:05:12.240 when she walked from designer Mel Atkinson and Trans Clothing Company, walked for them, rather.

00:05:18.220 Noella doesn't ever get nervous or scared by anything.

00:05:20.800 She's a tiny professional, Noella's mother, Dee McMair, told Metro UK.

00:05:25.460 She was so excited to go down the catwalk, excited to see all the people and the cameras.

00:05:30.580 She knows exactly how to work a crowd. 1.00

00:05:32.700 We are so proud of Noella for being the first trans child in New York Fashion Week.

00:05:37.540 We're in awe of her confidence and determination, she continued.

00:05:40.960 Noella already has so many transgender people of all ages contact her for advice and support.

00:05:48.780 A 10-year-old is being asked for advice and support.

00:05:53.720 Indeed, people of all ages, adults even, apparently, are consulting this prepubescent child for advice.

00:06:01.200 Now, I suppose it's no surprise that a mother would put her child in the position of providing guidance to adults,

00:06:08.580 given that she's already put him in the position of being a runway model.

00:06:12.700 Speaking of the mother, the glowing media profiles seem oddly reluctant to tell us much about the child's home life.

00:06:20.200 They tell us a little bit, some of the basics.

00:06:22.700 But what exactly is going on at home?

00:06:26.600 And when you investigate the subject, you immediately understand why they're so hesitant.

00:06:31.600 The website Redux has a report today revealing some of the rather dark details about what Noella is dealing with at home.

00:06:40.560 Here's what they report.

00:06:41.240 At age four, Noella was socially transitioned.

00:06:44.460 It was around this time that Noella's mother said that she brought the child to therapy at the gender development clinic

00:06:50.220 at Ann and Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago.

00:06:53.940 During the appointments, Noella told a gender counselor that he was a girl.

00:06:58.680 By age six, Noella's legal documentation had already been changed.

00:07:02.440 Dee McMahon, Noella's biological mother, is a social justice advocate who identifies as non-binary,

00:07:08.260 appears to be on hormone replacement therapy, and recently had a cosmetic mastectomy.

00:07:13.500 Both she and her current partner are females who identify as transmasculine.

00:07:18.380 According to the Point Foundation website,

00:07:20.220 McMahon has been an advocate and educator for transgender children for 10 years,

00:07:24.080 roughly since around the time Noella was born.

00:07:26.440 In 2019, McMahon and Noella were featured in People's World during a legal episode

00:07:30.800 in which McMahon was fighting for full custody of her child from her biological father, Timothy McCord.

00:07:38.260 Or from his biological father.

00:07:40.940 The report goes on to reveal that McCord, the father, did not agree with his son's transition.

00:07:47.220 Didn't agree that his son was transgender.

00:07:48.640 He opposed the transition, but he lost the ability to prevent it in 2016

00:07:52.700 after McMahon claimed that the father fractured the boy's arm

00:07:56.560 while trying to force him into, quote, boy pajamas.

00:08:00.300 McCord was arrested for child abuse.

00:08:02.860 McMahon also pressed to have him charged with an anti-trans hate crime.

00:08:06.180 The hate crime charge never materialized, but McCord did plead down to a lesser charge

00:08:10.800 and was given probation.

00:08:12.400 Meanwhile, McMahon, the mother, married a female named Ray,

00:08:16.140 who also identifies as trans and works in the field of, quote,

00:08:20.200 LGBTQ health justice.

00:08:23.960 Now, in 2019, Noella McCord was profiled by the website Chicago Parent

00:08:28.220 under the headline,

00:08:30.060 Seven-Year-Old Stands Up for Transgender Rights.

00:08:32.620 In the article, the mother brags about her trans child,

00:08:37.220 claiming that she transitioned him as a toddler so that he could feel safe and be happy.

00:08:43.160 And she says that her son is brave and fierce and a force to be reckoned with.

00:08:49.020 These are all descriptions that don't describe any seven-year-old I've ever met

00:08:53.100 because seven-year-olds are small children.

00:08:55.460 They are not forces to be reckoned with.

00:08:57.780 But that's how the mother sees the child. 1.00

00:09:00.300 He is not a child at all, but a political and ideological cudgel to be wielded.

00:09:05.120 He's a mascot to be paraded around.

00:09:08.240 He is an accessory, a fashion statement.

00:09:12.000 He's also a thing to be experimented on.

00:09:15.600 And on that note, the Chicago Parent article contains this passage,

00:09:19.380 So they've already decided for him that he's going to get the drugs and the surgery.

00:09:44.380 They decided this while the child was still in diapers.

00:09:47.100 They shoved him down this path and cut off all the exits

00:09:51.360 by publicly declaring his gender identity to the world

00:09:55.060 and putting him in the position of being an inspiration and a force,

00:10:00.420 you know, and a source of wisdom and guidance for the whole LGBT community.

00:10:04.860 He can't change his mind now.

00:10:07.520 Of course he can't because he never made up his mind to begin with.

00:10:10.340 This isn't his mind choosing any of this.

00:10:12.560 It's his mother manipulating and controlling him.

00:10:15.600 It is exactly like Sarah Melger, in that case,

00:10:21.080 right down to the unnecessary medical procedures.

00:10:25.020 The only difference is that the typical Munchausen mommy

00:10:28.180 is out for attention and sympathy mainly.

00:10:32.940 And there's an element of that here as well.

00:10:34.540 Certainly D. McMahon wants attention.

00:10:36.500 No question about that.

00:10:37.320 But she's also looking to her child for something else.

00:10:43.580 That I think is a little bit of a twist from the average Munchausen case.

00:10:48.140 She's looking for affirmation.

00:10:50.620 So it is actually not a misnomer to say that when a parent transes a child,

00:10:55.680 she is engaging in the process of affirmation.

00:10:58.740 It's actually true.

00:10:59.460 It is affirmation.

00:11:01.740 But it's affirmation of herself.

00:11:05.600 Not her child.

00:11:07.260 The child doesn't even exist.

00:11:09.160 Her child has no face, no identity.

00:11:12.500 He's a canvas, a blank screen,

00:11:14.800 that his mother projects her fantasies and delusions onto.

00:11:18.100 Nobody exists but to affirm her.

00:11:24.160 This is especially true of her child.

00:11:27.260 She makes her child sick so that she can feel well. 1.00

00:11:33.300 And rather than handcuffs and criminal charges,

00:11:36.240 all she gets in response is applause.

00:11:42.320 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:48.100 Well, you know, with two new babies on the way,

00:11:55.360 we're going through a time in our lives

00:11:57.920 when sleep is going to be at a premium, to put it mildly,

00:12:01.860 which is all the more reason why I am thankful for my Helix mattress.

00:12:06.400 You know, Helix mattress has several different mattress models to choose from.

00:12:09.860 They have soft, medium, and firm mattresses.

00:12:11.900 Mattress is great for cooling you down if you sleep hot.

00:12:14.440 Mattress is great for spinal alignment to prevent morning aches and pains.

00:12:18.100 And even a Helix plus size mattress for plus size sleepers.

00:12:23.100 Very important as well to include the plus size community in your mattresses.

00:12:26.980 They also have a sleep quiz that matches your body type

00:12:29.480 and sleep preferences for the perfect mattress

00:12:31.020 because why would you buy a mattress made for somebody else?

00:12:34.280 So if you're looking for a mattress, take the quiz,

00:12:36.180 order the mattress, and wait for the delivery. 1.00

00:12:38.600 It's really as simple as that.

00:12:39.360 Your mattress will come right to your door for free.

00:12:41.220 You don't ever need to go to a mattress store again.

00:12:43.320 They have a 10-year warranty,

00:12:44.800 and you get to try it out for 100 nights risk-free.

00:12:47.100 They'll even pick it up for you if you don't love it, but you will.

00:12:49.560 Trust me.

00:12:49.840 Helix has over 12,000 five-star reviews.

00:12:52.900 Their financing options and flexible payment plans make it so that a great night's sleep

00:12:56.520 is never far away for anyone.

00:12:58.120 For a limited time, Helix is offering up to $350 off all mattress orders

00:13:01.180 and two free pillows for my listeners.

00:13:03.900 This is their best offer yet.

00:13:05.180 So hurry over to helixsleep.com slash Walsh today.

00:13:08.920 Well, another sad day.

00:13:11.380 First, we lost Jeffrey Toobin, then Brian Stelter, and now Tony Fauci. 0.79

00:13:18.300 We are rapidly losing all of our most insufferable douchebags. 0.87

00:13:22.720 It's a full-on crisis.

00:13:25.160 I'm really getting worried about Keith Olbermann at this point.

00:13:28.180 I guess we already lost him.

00:13:29.140 He, like, doesn't.

00:13:29.940 Is he even still alive?

00:13:30.920 I'm not sure.

00:13:32.120 So it's a pretty big problem.

00:13:35.740 And CNBC has the report.

00:13:37.440 The nation's top infectious disease expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci,

00:13:40.960 plans to step down from his role running the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases

00:13:44.700 and advising the White House as its chief medical advisor at the end of the year, he announced on Monday.

00:13:51.280 And in a statement, he says,

00:13:52.740 After more than 50 years of government service, I plan to pursue the next phase of my career

00:13:57.160 while I still have so much energy and passion for my field.

00:14:00.260 I want to use what I have learned as the director to continue to advance science and public health

00:14:06.640 and to inspire and mentor the next generation of scientific leaders as they help prepare the world

00:14:11.340 to face future infectious disease experts.

00:14:14.780 The next phase of my career is talking like he's, like, 42, and he's making a career change.

00:14:22.640 You're in your 80s.

00:14:25.240 Just go away. 0.98

00:14:26.620 Go sit on a rocking chair.

00:14:30.260 And be retired.

00:14:36.040 Stop inflicting yourself on the rest of the world.

00:14:39.040 It's an absolute scourge.

00:14:44.520 This generation of boomers who've been running the government for, like, 30 years, and they won't let go. 0.99

00:14:51.320 They just won't leave us alone.

00:14:55.120 You've done a terrible job, okay?

00:14:57.200 This generation of leaders have just, it's in an unmitigated disaster.

00:15:03.480 You have ruined everything.

00:15:05.980 Everything in the country is worse now than it was when you took over.

00:15:09.120 You're like the first generation that's going to leave your kid's generation worse off than you were, poorer than you were.

00:15:18.000 So just leave, please.

00:15:22.880 Not that what we'll be having coming up next is going to be much better, probably, but even so.

00:15:27.880 Now, I do think that Fauci provided a valuable public service in some way, you know, in his career.

00:15:35.920 Not any sort of public health service, right?

00:15:39.040 He's been a disaster, again, on that front.

00:15:41.940 But as every crisis that he oversaw only got worse, he made everything worse 100% of the time.

00:15:49.440 But he has provided the service, I think, of showing just how power corrupts in the context of a modern bureaucracy, right?

00:15:58.740 So we, you know, we know the saying that power corrupts.

00:16:02.260 But when we think of the corrupting influence of power, I think we tend to think about emperors and kings and dictators.

00:16:09.260 We think about, like, Caligula and Nero or somebody like that.

00:16:12.380 But what Fauci shows us is what it looks like in the context of a modern bureaucracy in a Western country.

00:16:23.480 It looks a little bit different in that Fauci is this mediocre nobody. 1.00

00:16:30.580 He is this utterly unimpressive, talentless, stupid hack. 1.00

00:16:35.760 He should be working as a shift supervisor at a rental car agency. 1.00

00:16:40.220 With all due respect, people who work at rental car agencies, but that's the world he should be in.

00:16:45.760 But instead, he ended up in the government.

00:16:48.180 And he's just drifting along, failing, failing, failing for 50 years, flubbing his way along, flubbing and fumbling.

00:16:59.400 But he stays there because there's no mechanism for getting rid of somebody like that in a bureaucracy.

00:17:06.040 The bureaucracy exists to protect people like that.

00:17:10.220 And so the only person that can make them leave is themselves.

00:17:15.000 He didn't want to do that.

00:17:16.060 And so just because he lasts the longest, like a war of attrition, he just kind of lasts the longest and ends up as the highest paid and most influential guy in the government.

00:17:26.720 Having not earned any of that prestige or any of that money or any of it.

00:17:36.180 That's the way it works.

00:17:37.100 So it's not unlike the kind of corruption that we have seen historically.

00:17:44.360 Maybe the only difference is that never before in history have such mediocre people have been so enabled, you know, to become this powerful.

00:17:59.740 In the past, at least it required, even if you didn't have any governing talent, you had to be, you know, you have to had to be charismatic or you'd have something that, you know, put you in a position of having all this power.

00:18:15.560 But but not not the case anymore.

00:18:17.280 No, no, not even charisma, nothing.

00:18:20.720 No talent.

00:18:23.100 Fauci, on his way out the door, offered his reflections on what we've learned from the covid pandemic.

00:18:30.460 And no surprise here.

00:18:33.420 He apparently has not learned anything at all.

00:18:35.720 Let's watch.

00:18:36.060 We've been fooled before.

00:18:39.240 We didn't fully appreciate the magnitude of HIV back in the early 80s when I first got involved, when the first cases were recognized.

00:18:49.740 And there were so many things we learned on the run with covid.

00:18:55.040 I mean, the things that we thought we knew in the beginning turned out as the months went by to not be the case,

00:19:01.960 which really forced us to adapt and to change some of our policies and recommendations that was interpreted by many as flip flopping or not really knowing what's going on when it really was the evolution of the science.

00:19:17.220 So one of the lessons that I hope we learn is that we've got to be prepared.

00:19:22.680 We've got to be able to respond, but we've also got to be flexible.

00:19:26.600 Oh, we we we learned, you know, there are things we thought in the beginning and then we learned and Fauci was accused of flip flop, but he didn't flip flop.

00:19:40.300 Well, what exactly did we learn that we didn't know at the beginning?

00:19:45.600 Or what did what did you need to learn?

00:19:50.020 Because most of the stuff you're saying we didn't know.

00:19:53.580 Well, I knew.

00:19:54.440 Almost everyone watching this right now knew.

00:19:59.100 There were like people on Twitter.

00:20:01.840 With no special insight into this situation, no medical training, no access, no special access to the data.

00:20:10.520 The only data we had was just what the media told us.

00:20:14.000 And yet we almost immediately.

00:20:17.100 Said things that it took Fauci two years to say.

00:20:20.400 So how did we know?

00:20:21.000 Lucky guess.

00:20:21.920 Is that it?

00:20:24.440 That that's the that's the excuse that that he uses about the science changed or what we know about the science change.

00:20:33.920 But what how did it change?

00:20:38.240 Many of us said from the very beginning that the social distancing six feet rule makes no sense.

00:20:44.420 It's a totally arbitrary thing that we've that that has been imposed on us for no good reason.

00:20:54.020 And it took a couple of years and eventually we were told, oh, yeah, well, there's really there was really no science by six feet.

00:20:59.020 Like what?

00:20:59.360 How is why six feet a magic number?

00:21:00.980 And especially when the you know, the not just covid, but any kind of virus can linger in the air.

00:21:12.180 So you stay six feet from someone walking like single file line through through a grocery aisle.

00:21:19.100 You know, and it's always like one way.

00:21:20.580 Remember that during covid?

00:21:22.320 The one way signs in the grocery aisles.

00:21:24.040 Well, if the person in front of you is is exhaling or they're coughing or whatever, you're going to walk through that mist anyway.

00:21:32.300 What's the six feet going to do for you?

00:21:34.860 Completely arbitrary.

00:21:35.640 Many of us from the very beginning said, yeah, these cloth masks everybody are wearing, everybody's wearing.

00:21:42.280 What is this going to do exactly?

00:21:44.160 Is the virus not small enough to pass through the fibers of the cotton mask?

00:21:53.940 Took him a long time to finally come around to that.

00:21:55.920 Well, actually not, because Fauci, if you recall, he was right about that originally.

00:22:00.800 I think it was in in March of 2020, he came out and said the masks aren't really going to do anything for you.

00:22:08.200 The masks, you know, there's no reason to wear the masks.

00:22:10.700 And then a month later, he said, never mind.

00:22:13.340 Everybody needs to wear the mask.

00:22:14.600 We went from stop wearing the masks to actually if you don't everybody needs to wear. 0.69

00:22:19.240 And if you don't wear them, then you're murdering your grandparents.

00:22:22.460 And then about two years later, they circled back around and said, oh, yeah, you know what?

00:22:25.980 The thing we were saying at the very beginning was that was was basically correct.

00:22:29.120 None of this has anything to do with science.

00:22:34.020 Of course, Fauci knows this.

00:22:35.000 This was not the process or evolution of science.

00:22:38.020 What it was was the evolution of the political evolution.

00:22:45.920 That's what it was.

00:22:48.340 All right.

00:22:48.840 This is from the College Fix.

00:22:50.260 It says white guests are banned from the common spaces at the Person of Color House, an off-campus housing option for Berkeley students, according to a photo of the guest rules recently posted on Reddit.

00:23:01.860 Under a section labeled guests in common spaces, it states, guests are allowed in common spaces.

00:23:07.420 But please be mindful if there are house members in the room beforehand.

00:23:11.960 White guests are not allowed in common spaces.

00:23:14.920 The POC house states, in part, that many members moved in to be able to avoid white violence and presence.

00:23:27.200 When and where is this again?

00:23:28.780 This is Berkeley, of course.

00:23:30.420 When students do bring a guest, the rules direct them to announce it in the house guest chat and note if they are white. 0.99

00:23:36.220 So if you're in the POC house and you want to bring a white guest, which probably you wouldn't even want to do that because you're only there because you're a racist scumbag. 0.99

00:23:47.760 But so when you bring when you bring the white guest, you have to announce white guy coming through. 0.99

00:23:55.580 I want to know what exactly is the announcement.

00:23:57.760 What are you what are you supposed to say?

00:24:00.540 White, we got a white. 0.92

00:24:01.640 But it's not just white guests who are unwelcome.

00:24:06.100 It says, avoid bringing parents and family members that express bigotry. 0.83

00:24:10.840 Queer, black and indigenous members should not have to avoid common spaces because of homophobic or racist parents and family members.

00:24:17.600 Now, like, it, of course, goes without saying that it's unthinkable that any university in the country would have a white house only set up that could not exist.

00:24:35.060 You know, if there was a university that had they had the house for the POC house. 0.99

00:24:43.880 Right.

00:24:44.320 So they got the black house and then they also set up a white house and they called it that. 0.95

00:24:49.220 The house for the white people will be burned to the ground and nobody who set it on fire would go to jail for it. 1.00

00:24:55.640 Like, they could just set it on fire with people inside. 1.00

00:24:59.580 They could actually you could have the white people in the in the house for white people inside it, burn it to the ground and kill everybody. 1.00

00:25:05.420 And no one who did it would go to even go to jail for it. 1.00

00:25:11.080 But it wouldn't come to that because it's unthinkable.

00:25:13.620 Right. 0.96

00:25:13.720 We live in a supposedly supposedly systemically racist society, systemically racist against black people. 0.92

00:25:20.920 And yet it is unthinkable that any institution would ever set up anything specifically for white people. 0.71

00:25:29.600 And yet they do this, you know, for, quote, POC all the time.

00:25:34.500 It's wildly illegal.

00:25:36.780 It's completely illegal.

00:25:38.420 Racial segregation in housing is illegal.

00:25:44.920 But as we have seen, especially recently and frequently, you know, the laws are just not enforced.

00:25:54.920 If you're on the left and that's what systemic privilege really is.

00:25:59.300 There is systemic privilege.

00:26:01.500 It's not really determined by race.

00:26:04.180 It's it's it is it's partially identity based.

00:26:06.900 You're more likely to take to be able to take advantage of systemic privilege if you have identity points, black, gay, trans, whatever.

00:26:15.880 But really, it's ideological.

00:26:18.380 Most of all.

00:26:20.560 Because something tells me that even in the POC house. 1.00

00:26:23.460 Right.

00:26:24.560 They say this is this is open for people of color.

00:26:27.240 But something tells me that if that, I don't know, if if Candace Owens decided she wanted to attend Berkeley, which would be pretty funny.

00:26:35.940 I don't think she'd be welcome in the POC house. 1.00

00:26:37.920 Something tells me.

00:26:41.140 This is also, by the way, the definition of gaslighting.

00:26:43.240 You know, this we're constantly told about white violence. 0.92

00:26:50.640 And that racial minorities have to stay away from white people because they're afraid of the violence they'll inflict. 0.98

00:26:59.320 Total gaslighting. 0.97

00:27:01.280 We hear that phrase all the time.

00:27:02.520 But this is actually gaslighting.

00:27:03.240 There is, you know, if you're a black person, the chance that you're going to be the victim of violence, that you're going to become the victim of a violent attack from a white person is almost non-existent.

00:27:21.280 It is almost certainly not going to happen.

00:27:23.860 Of all the things you have to worry about, an attack from a white person is like, I don't even know if it makes it into the top 100.

00:27:35.600 It's not impossible, but it's almost certainly not going to happen. 0.62

00:27:42.800 And as everyone knows who's looked at the statistics, if you are a black person and you become the victim of violence, 0.96

00:27:49.540 it is almost definitely going to be another black person who inflicts that on you. 1.00

00:27:55.060 That's just what the statistics tell you. 0.98

00:27:57.520 And they also tell you that statistically, a black person is much more likely to violently attack a white person than the other way around.

00:28:09.040 Okay, the data doesn't lie here.

00:28:10.920 It is what it is.

00:28:13.320 And yet, in spite of that, the only thing we ever hear about is white violence.

00:28:19.540 All right, here's an update on a story we talked about yesterday.

00:28:22.740 It says, that's from the Daily Wire.

00:28:23.980 It says, the school administrator for a devoutly Christian Florida school says he and his family have received numerous violent threats

00:28:29.940 because of the school's firm stand affirming biblical morality.

00:28:35.060 Grace Christian School has stood firm in its stance asking LGBTQ students to leave and referring to students only by their biological sex.

00:28:42.400 Administrator Barry McKean wrote parents on June 6th, rather, I read this to you, saying that, you know, this is God created mankind in his image.

00:28:55.360 Male and female, he created them, which means that there's only two biological sexes, and that's the only thing we recognize. 0.89

00:29:01.500 And we're only going to recognize a child according to their biological sex, not according to their gender fluid notions or whatever else.

00:29:09.980 And that's what they announced.

00:29:12.600 And now, this administrator has been targeted for violence or threats of violence and death threats and everything else, which rings completely true to me. 0.97

00:29:25.680 I have no doubt at all that he's getting messages and things like that because I get them all the time.

00:29:32.480 And, you know, of all the things that you can come out and say publicly, or all the positions that you can adopt publicly,

00:29:43.040 the one that's most likely to provoke death threats is, you know, if you're criticizing the LGBT community, especially anything to do with trans.

00:29:52.440 And given that he's instating this policy in his school and actually kicking kids out, if they're not going to abide by it, then, yeah, you can only imagine.

00:30:02.940 I can only imagine what his inbox looks like.

00:30:08.100 I can only imagine what might actually happen to this school.

00:30:10.840 Talk about getting burned to the ground.

00:30:12.100 And one of the reasons why you get this violent response is that the message from our culture, like, justifies the violence from LGBT people by telling them that, 0.99

00:30:31.060 well, if somebody criticizes you or someone doesn't agree with your lifestyle, then they are a threat to your existence.

00:30:37.780 They're genocidal. 0.95

00:30:38.800 They're killing you somehow. 0.99

00:30:42.640 By someone simply stating their opinion about the trans stuff, if they don't agree with it, then they are killing you. 0.99

00:30:50.200 That's the message.

00:30:53.400 Which obviously sets the groundwork for the person who's being violently attacked by an opinion to respond violently and then claim self-defense.

00:31:04.180 All right, I want to show this to you.

00:31:05.700 I thought this was pretty great.

00:31:06.600 All right, the Toronto police will often post photos bragging about the guns that they take off the street, you know, making the community safer and all that.

00:31:18.240 And here's the latest seizure.

00:31:20.600 And as you can see, it's a gun from the Cretaceous period that they've managed to take off the streets.

00:31:26.120 The gun, I mean, it is literally fossilized.

00:31:27.600 They took a fossilized gun off the streets and they're bragging about it.

00:31:35.820 I'm glad we have it now.

00:31:37.080 I am glad.

00:31:37.700 Because now we can finally, we finally have the evidence to put that woolly mammoth in prison.

00:31:45.100 It's just absurd.

00:31:46.000 This is, this is the weapon that was used to kill the dinosaurs right there.

00:31:50.800 I know I'm mixing all the prehistoric eras together here with dinosaurs and woolly mammoths, but you know, you get the point.

00:31:57.620 Just glad, finally glad.

00:31:59.800 That weapon that was last, when was the last time that weapon was actually used?

00:32:03.520 All joking aside.

00:32:06.200 Maybe a hundred years ago?

00:32:07.340 At the most recent?

00:32:12.000 All right.

00:32:13.660 Rolling Stone has provoked some outrage this week with a new cover, which is the Harry Styles cover. 1.00

00:32:21.480 And as you can see, the outrage, it's not because he looks incredibly stupid. 0.97

00:32:25.540 He's got, I don't know what he's got, some kind of sequins, boxers on and a fur coat holding a birthday cake. 0.99

00:32:34.180 And anyway, it says, Harry Styles, how the new king of pop set the music world aflame.

00:32:42.580 And that's what upsets people, is that he says that's king of pop.

00:32:45.380 And this is a controversy now because it's appropriating from Michael Jackson.

00:32:50.420 So Newsweek has the report.

00:32:52.500 It says, Harry Styles has inadvertently upset passionate Michael Jackson fans after a magazine referred to him as the new king of pop.

00:32:59.500 Jackson's fans, and even his nephew, Taj Jackson, voiced their displeasure at Styles' new apparent title.

00:33:07.240 The October slash November issue of Rolling Stone UK magazine features former One Direction singer Styles on the front cover, where he's awarded his new royal title.

00:33:16.280 But people are very upset about that.

00:33:17.960 Thousands upon thousands of Jackson fans spoke out on Twitter.

00:33:20.680 Quote, there is no new king of pop.

00:33:23.960 You don't own the title, Rolling Stone, and you didn't earn it.

00:33:26.180 My uncle did.

00:33:27.200 Michael Jackson's nephew, Taj, wrote on Twitter, retweeting the cover shoot.

00:33:30.260 Decades of dedication and sacrifice.

00:33:32.620 This title has been retired.

00:33:34.300 No disrespect to Harry Styles.

00:33:35.600 He's mega talented.

00:33:36.740 Give him his own unique title.

00:33:38.660 Community actress Yvette Nicole Brown weighed in and says, agrees with that.

00:33:45.360 And then a bunch of other people, okay, whatever.

00:33:46.700 People are upset.

00:33:47.260 A bunch of Michael Jackson fans are very upset about this, because Michael Jackson is the king of pop.

00:33:52.380 Just two things I wanted to point out here.

00:33:55.440 First of all, Michael Jackson was a pedophile, so he doesn't deserve to retain any titles at all.

00:34:04.640 Okay? 0.96

00:34:05.100 So just getting offended on his behalf. 1.00

00:34:07.340 He's a dead pedophile. 0.98

00:34:10.220 And so take away all his titles. 1.00

00:34:13.320 I mean, we rip down monuments left and right.

00:34:19.940 And we're ripping down monuments, taking the founding fathers' names off of school buildings and everything else. 0.98

00:34:26.560 And yet we're still worried about protecting the good name of a monstrous freak pedophile. 0.95

00:34:33.260 Here's the thing about Michael Jackson. 0.96

00:34:34.560 There was nothing good about him, but he could dance.

00:34:39.980 That's it.

00:34:40.700 He was a good dancer.

00:34:42.900 And he made some songs that were kind of catchy.

00:34:44.920 I'll give him that. 0.99

00:34:47.760 And then he also raped children. 0.99

00:34:52.060 So I'm not sure how I see the good dancing outweighs the raping of children. 1.00

00:34:57.640 And on top of that, he was just a freak. 0.89

00:35:04.280 So if we're, look, if we were deciding as a society to just sort of leave history alone and not rip down the monuments and statues and everything like that, 0.99

00:35:17.740 then maybe I would say that, yeah, Michael Jackson was a pedophile freak and a child abuser. 0.96

00:35:21.440 But, okay, he was awarded the title King of Pop, and sure, he can keep it because that's what. 0.98

00:35:27.140 But we can't have it both ways here.

00:35:30.100 Like, if we're going back in history and we are taking superlatives away from people and reevaluating them and taking away their honorifics because of the bad things they did,

00:35:43.000 then I'm not sure how we gloss over Michael Jackson.

00:35:46.500 Second point, though, is that I actually agree that Harry Styles is not the king of pop.

00:35:54.260 You know, I've never even heard a Harry Styles song, I don't think.

00:35:57.600 I don't think I've ever, I couldn't, I certainly couldn't name for you one Harry Styles song.

00:36:01.460 I couldn't tell you, if I heard him singing, I wouldn't be able to tell you that it was him.

00:36:05.700 Because even though he's massively successful and famous and millions of people have heard his music, apparently,

00:36:16.380 he doesn't have the kind of cultural impact that Michael Jackson did have or that Elvis had before him.

00:36:25.000 And that's just because that's the culture we live in now.

00:36:27.660 It's just not, it's not possible for anyone to have that kind of impact anymore.

00:36:31.240 Everything is just sort of fractured into a million pieces.

00:36:35.660 And there are a million celebrities.

00:36:37.460 And it's like anyone, and fame is so cheap now.

00:36:39.440 Anyone can be famous.

00:36:40.960 Anyone can make something and put it out there and, you know, millions of people will encounter it.

00:36:47.680 There are, you know, I was very happy when I crossed a million subscribers on YouTube.

00:36:53.680 It was a big accomplishment for me.

00:36:54.980 There are YouTube channels out there with a hundred million subscribers, like 50 million, a hundred million.

00:37:04.180 And then you go and you check out those channels and there's, there's nothing there.

00:37:09.700 Like there are channels where they, all they do is reactions.

00:37:13.680 And so they watch other people's videos and they don't say anything interesting about them.

00:37:19.020 They don't riff on them in an interesting way.

00:37:20.840 They don't say anything.

00:37:21.540 They just watch someone else's video and then maybe they go, that's wild.

00:37:27.100 And that'll get 50 million views.

00:37:28.880 And then it's like a hundred million dollars, like a multimillionaire is doing that.

00:37:33.280 That's how cheap fame is.

00:37:34.900 And also, and also how splintered and fractured it is.

00:37:38.060 So you can have someone with like hundreds of millions of fans.

00:37:41.180 And yet outside of that bubble, no one even has even heard of that person.

00:37:44.340 So that's the world we live in now.

00:37:48.620 And that's part of the reason why there actually will never be another king of pop. 0.98

00:37:55.000 So I say that in a certain way, in, you know, in defense of the critics here, although still Michael Jackson was a child raping pedophile. 0.80

00:38:03.120 So, all right, one other thing I want to mention before we get to the comment section and probably the most important piece of footage I can play for you today. 0.94

00:38:13.400 This was a video taken at a baseball game.

00:38:18.080 Let's get this up on the screen.

00:38:19.580 So this is a guy, not a lot of explanation.

00:38:23.160 We don't know who this guy is.

00:38:24.840 We don't know where he comes from.

00:38:27.400 But go ahead and play the video.

00:38:28.300 All we know is that he was sitting there, he got a hot dog at the baseball game, and he uses a straw to hollow out the hot dog.

00:38:42.320 And then look at what he does next.

00:38:46.340 Dear God in heaven, he uses the hot dog as a straw in the beer.

00:38:54.140 No shame at all.

00:38:55.620 No shame.

00:38:56.220 You know, he doesn't care that people are.

00:38:58.800 He's like, you know, you would think at the very least, if you're the kind of person who drinks beer through a hot dog straw.

00:39:06.640 I don't know if that's really a kind of person.

00:39:08.360 There's just like, there's just one of them.

00:39:09.360 But you would think that you kind of, he'd be looking around to make sure that nobody's watching him do this.

00:39:17.180 That's like, right, that's me.

00:39:18.280 Anytime I, if I do something even mildly unusual in public, I'm kind of looking, right.

00:39:22.660 But he's got no shame.

00:39:24.320 He's just, he's just, this is how he enjoys the beer.

00:39:26.500 You have to respect that to a certain extent.

00:39:29.780 And people are making fun of this guy.

00:39:31.820 You know, he's getting mocked all over the internet.

00:39:33.820 But don't, don't judge this man.

00:39:37.840 We don't, we don't know his reasons.

00:39:41.600 Okay.

00:39:42.000 We don't really know.

00:39:42.900 No one has stopped and asked him.

00:39:45.200 And not only that, you take away the plastic straws and then you judge a man for what he has, what's he's, what he's forced to do.

00:39:54.460 Of course, it doesn't really work because you could just, and you should just drink the beer without a straw.

00:40:00.920 And also he did have a straw that he used to make the hot dog straw.

00:40:04.220 But still, I'm just, you know, my point is, we have, we have created a lot of confusion in the straw area.

00:40:11.180 And so I think that's part of what leads to situations like this.

00:40:14.000 All right, let's get to the comment section.

00:40:27.200 Matt's pronunciation of Tequeria was almost as good as Dr. Jill Biden's pronunciation of the word bodega.

00:40:34.720 How are you supposed to pronounce it?

00:40:35.600 I don't know.

00:40:35.940 How do you pronounce this word?

00:40:37.420 Does anyone know?

00:40:38.160 Control room, do you know?

00:40:39.760 Tequeria? 0.97

00:40:43.200 Tequeria? 0.97

00:40:44.420 What is a Tequeria?

00:40:46.100 Anyone know?

00:40:47.460 What is it?

00:40:48.960 Taco shell.

00:40:49.680 Okay, like I'm supposed to know that?

00:40:51.700 Oh, taco shop.

00:40:52.800 Okay, fine.

00:40:54.780 So the voice of God was speaking to me, to correct me.

00:40:59.280 So, no, no, no.

00:41:00.680 Okay, don't give me that.

00:41:02.760 There was a lot of comments.

00:41:03.660 It's like every comment was because I mispronounced that word.

00:41:06.000 So I'm supposed to know how to pronounce that?

00:41:08.480 Like, that's a, is that a common household term?

00:41:14.520 Really?

00:41:14.880 Do you go around in your house talking about Tequeria?

00:41:18.160 If you want to go get a taco, do you say, oh, I'm going to the Mexican place to get a taco?

00:41:22.240 Or do you say, I'm going to the Tequeria?

00:41:24.140 No, you don't say that.

00:41:25.380 So don't judge me for this.

00:41:26.420 First, you judge the guy with the hot dog straw, and now you judge me.

00:41:34.040 Vol Princess says, when life gives you snakes, make dinner.

00:41:38.880 When that, well, that needs to be on a T-shirt.

00:41:40.480 Oh, that's quoting me.

00:41:41.100 Yeah.

00:41:41.260 When life gives you snakes, make dinner.

00:41:42.580 I did say that.

00:41:43.740 That needs to be on a T-shirt.

00:41:44.720 I agree with that.

00:41:45.580 Maybe we should make a T-shirt.

00:41:46.560 That's an inspirational slogan that is meaningful, not just to my son, but I think to all of us.

00:41:52.880 And speaking of the Daily Wire shop, by the way, those who are watching on the video podcast,

00:41:58.420 you can see this sticker that I have on the back of my laptop here.

00:42:02.140 This is our, what is a woman definition, circular definition sticker.

00:42:06.180 So a woman is someone who identifies as a woman going around in circles forever and ever.

00:42:09.940 And if you want that sticker, they are for sale at the Daily Wire shop right now, the Matt Walsh store.

00:42:16.960 Go to dailywire.com slash shop, and you can find it there.

00:42:22.240 Let's see.

00:42:23.740 Scott says, Matt, you know you're going to have to name one of your new sons Hugh Jarsol Walsh.

00:42:29.320 And while you're at it, name the other one Scott to honor your biggest fan.

00:42:31.980 How dare you?

00:42:32.640 These are my children you're talking about.

00:42:35.940 Although I will suggest that to my wife because she's going to be so annoyed. 1.00

00:42:38.700 And it'll be funny.

00:42:41.380 Steve-O says, Matt's pronunciation of Greenwich as Grenwich bothered me at first.

00:42:47.520 A man with Matt's intelligence should know it's Greenwich.

00:42:49.840 But then I laugh knowing that Matt Walsh makes no mistakes.

00:42:51.980 Yeah, that's the other one.

00:42:52.540 So every comment was, hey, you didn't pronounce the Curia right.

00:42:55.580 Or you mispronounced Greenwich Village.

00:42:59.460 Look, look, it is spelled Greenwich.

00:43:02.140 That's how it's spelled.

00:43:03.100 And that's how I pronounce it.

00:43:04.440 All right.

00:43:05.120 I am correct.

00:43:06.060 Everyone else is wrong.

00:43:06.920 Everyone in New York, we call it Greenwich Village.

00:43:10.460 You're all wrong.

00:43:11.300 That's not how it's pronounced.

00:43:12.160 It's just not how those, that's not what, that's not the sound that those letters make.

00:43:15.460 I'm sorry.

00:43:16.000 I hate to tell you that.

00:43:17.380 And there's nothing more annoying than people who expect you to know local pronunciations.

00:43:22.720 Because any time you go anywhere, right, they've got weird ways of pronouncing some of their towns that don't really make any sense.

00:43:31.120 And then if you don't pronounce it correctly, everyone judges it.

00:43:33.800 How did you just pronounce that?

00:43:35.900 I don't live here, okay? 1.00

00:43:37.340 I didn't know that that's your stupid way of pronouncing it. 0.99

00:43:40.780 How am I supposed to know that? 0.99

00:43:41.900 Now, I know the response is, well, but it's New York.

00:43:47.100 Everyone should know.

00:43:48.120 I don't care.

00:43:49.140 It's not special.

00:43:51.660 I don't care about that.

00:43:53.180 It's not relevant to me.

00:43:54.500 Well, New York is so important.

00:43:55.520 No, it's not.

00:43:57.300 It's not.

00:43:57.860 Get over yourself.

00:44:00.160 Okay?

00:44:00.340 The wifey says, Matt, you and my husband are the exact same with names.

00:44:08.560 We have three boys.

00:44:09.760 Boy names are hard to pick.

00:44:10.940 And any time I would ask my husband for name suggestions, he'd just look around him and start naming things.

00:44:16.840 Me, I would say, let's talk about baby names.

00:44:18.980 Him, grass, stop sign, roundabout.

00:44:22.840 Yeah, I also do the same thing.

00:44:24.620 It's a good bit, I think.

00:44:28.840 And you know what?

00:44:29.560 There is some tradition to that.

00:44:31.620 Like, that's some Native American cultures.

00:44:34.440 You know, that's how they would name traditionally their children.

00:44:39.240 If a baby was born and then they looked out into the forest and they saw a deer bounding through the forest,

00:44:47.860 they would name the child bounding deer.

00:44:49.920 Deer or something like that, right?

00:44:51.460 Running deer, right?

00:44:53.340 So there's some tradition, I think, to that.

00:44:55.360 Of course, you can't really apply that to babies that are born in a hospital, very kind of sterile environment,

00:45:04.580 because then all the babies will be named, you know, scalpel and chair and that sort of thing.

00:45:10.380 Another comment says, Matt, I have to remind you of a Republican virtue, personal freedom.

00:45:16.520 If the Finnish PM wants to party, it's no one's business to criticize that publicly.

00:45:21.160 However, what she did was incredibly naive.

00:45:23.780 Next time she might get laid by a Russian spy and be compromised forever. 0.67

00:45:28.160 Hopefully she'll be more careful in the future.

00:45:29.920 Yeah, a couple of problems here.

00:45:32.560 First of all, isn't criticizing someone part of personal freedom?

00:45:36.380 So if my value is supposed to be the Republican virtue is allegedly personal freedom,

00:45:42.380 then isn't that part of personal freedom that I can criticize you?

00:45:46.720 That's free speech.

00:45:49.260 But also I don't agree that that's the great principle sort of Republican virtue is personal freedom.

00:45:57.000 We certainly need a lot of qualification on that.

00:45:59.360 What do you mean by freedom exactly?

00:46:01.700 Because if what you mean is that as Republicans, we're supposed to believe that everyone can just do whatever they want without criticism.

00:46:08.940 If that's what you mean by freedom, personal freedom, which appears to be what you mean, then no, that is not.

00:46:13.260 That's not the that is not and certainly should not be the Republican viewpoint.

00:46:19.820 That's basically what you hear from the left.

00:46:21.300 That's what that is their vision of freedom is just do whatever you want, especially sexually. 0.92

00:46:26.860 And not only should you not be prevented from doing it, but no one should even criticize you for doing it.

00:46:32.160 That's freedom, according to them.

00:46:33.480 And finally, Judson Gordy says, if your barista is good, they deserve a tip.

00:46:42.740 Lots of skill behind making a good latte and they make good art.

00:46:48.860 All right.

00:46:49.300 I don't I don't deny that that, you know, it takes skill to be a good barista.

00:46:54.120 But do they not receive a paycheck already?

00:46:56.220 Is the barista not already paid for that skill?

00:47:00.000 Isn't that what the salary is for? 0.75

00:47:02.800 Or if they're making an hourly wage, they're getting paid something already.

00:47:07.660 So that's already built in.

00:47:10.840 And the fact that the company has to pay a salary to the employees, that's also built into the price of the thing that I'm buying.

00:47:17.500 So I'm already helping to pay.

00:47:18.920 By paying for my coffee, I am helping to pay the salary of the barista already.

00:47:26.920 So then it's like, well, you want an extra tip if they do a really good job.

00:47:29.640 But that's I expect that.

00:47:31.820 I expect you to do a really good job.

00:47:33.760 Your boss should expect that.

00:47:37.700 That's that's that's that's required.

00:47:39.400 It's like when my kids clean their room and do a really good job and they say, oh, can I have a treat because I did a good job cleaning my room?

00:47:47.820 No, you can't.

00:47:48.800 This is what you're supposed to do.

00:47:50.960 The only other option is to be lazy and to do a and to do a lackadaisical job cleaning the room and just stuff things under the bed and think I won't notice.

00:48:00.940 But that's unacceptable.

00:48:02.440 So by doing a good job cleaning the room, you are just doing the the only acceptable thing.

00:48:06.620 And so I would say if you're a barista and you're getting paid to do that for a living, the only acceptable option is to do your best and provide good service to your customers.

00:48:18.040 I don't see why there should be an extra payment on top of that.

00:48:21.620 Corporate media not only controls what they want you to know, but their agenda means the news is presented to you in a biased way.

00:48:28.640 You know, we all know that.

00:48:29.540 I know it.

00:48:29.940 You know, we all know it.

00:48:30.740 Thankfully, there's a way to get the most important news of the day without their narrative.

00:48:34.840 And that's by listening to one of the top news podcasts, Morning Wire.

00:48:38.240 New episodes are available every morning, seven days a week, and they cover stories other media outlets won't touch.

00:48:43.000 Check out Morning Wire on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Daily Wire Plus, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

00:48:47.480 Do it right now.

00:48:48.740 In the meantime, now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:55.180 Well, it's the kind of video we've all seen many times before.

00:48:58.400 This time it's a YouTuber by the name of James Klug walking around Los Angeles asking young people, most of them college-aged, basic questions about American history, civics, and geography.

00:49:10.340 And given that the questions are extremely simple and rudimentary, everyone is able to answer them easily, and we're all left feeling pretty good about the future of our country.

00:49:19.440 The end. 1.00

00:49:19.900 Just kidding, of course, none of them can answer the questions, and we're once again reminded that we are, as a civilization, hurtling towards a certain destruction, which will be brought about largely by our own stupidity and ignorance. 1.00

00:49:31.760 Now, we know basically how these dumb guy on the street videos go. 0.97

00:49:35.920 And yet, with each new entry in this burgeoning genre, the results are no less shocking and depressing. 0.96

00:49:41.760 So let's all watch together, and then weep.

00:50:11.760 What country is the Queen of England from? 0.99

00:50:14.840 I'm not a policy guy, I ain't gonna lie, I don't know.

00:50:18.260 I really don't know.

00:50:19.100 Just take a guess, like, what country is the Queen of England from?

00:50:22.360 Europe?

00:50:23.200 I don't know.

00:50:24.940 I don't know.

00:50:25.920 Take a guess.

00:50:26.900 What's the capital of the United States?

00:50:28.680 Um, the, um, there's a capital?

00:50:33.000 What, Lexi?

00:50:34.460 Take a guess.

00:50:35.440 Um, um, I don't know.

00:50:39.340 Uh, probably California.

00:50:40.420 Yeah, that's right.

00:50:42.340 It is?

00:50:43.340 No.

00:50:43.640 The United States, do we know?

00:50:45.680 Stop, I knew he was gonna embarrass us.

00:50:47.900 I know, do you wait?

00:50:49.060 I don't even want to think because I don't want to sound dead.

00:50:50.980 Well, just, there's no capital of the United States.

00:50:53.020 Yeah, literally, is there no capital?

00:50:55.520 Correct.

00:50:56.440 Was that right?

00:50:57.240 No. 1.00

00:50:57.800 Oh, f***! 0.99

00:50:58.940 You guys are UCLA students? 0.99

00:51:00.020 We literally go to UCLA, yeah.

00:51:02.640 Who was the first president of the United States? 0.98

00:51:05.940 S***. 0.65

00:51:07.340 Abraham Lincoln? 0.60

00:51:07.960 Can you name the, uh, three Kardashian sisters?

00:51:11.920 Uh, Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe.

00:51:14.620 What are the three Kardashian sisters' names?

00:51:16.920 Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe.

00:51:19.560 Khloe, Kim.

00:51:20.380 Kourtney, and Kourtney.

00:51:21.840 Yeah.

00:51:22.300 Bonus points for the brother?

00:51:24.040 Um, Robert.

00:51:25.580 Okay, well, they know something then, at least.

00:51:27.940 Uh, okay, you know, the video actually goes on for over eight minutes, but you get the idea.

00:51:31.740 It's hard to pick one moment as a favorite from, uh, that one and a half minute clip there.

00:51:35.300 Perhaps it's the fact that these people not only can't name the capital of the United States,

00:51:40.100 but they refuse to believe that we even have one.

00:51:42.980 Or maybe it's the fact that, uh, they've somehow lived their entire lives up until this point

00:51:46.820 without knowing about the Atlantic Ocean.

00:51:48.580 Or maybe it's the girl who said, and I quote, 0.96

00:51:52.240 I don't want to think because I don't want to sound dumb. 0.71

00:51:56.460 She apparently doesn't realize that not wanting to think is exactly what's gotten into her, 0.93

00:52:00.580 got her into this mess to begin with. 1.00

00:52:02.800 But you can't expect self-awareness from stupid people. 1.00

00:52:05.120 That's, um, one of the reasons why morons always end up humiliating themselves in these kinds of videos. 1.00

00:52:10.520 Because you, you, you might think that they would at least know that they don't know anything 0.99

00:52:15.380 and would thus decline to be quizzed on trivia in front of a camera.

00:52:19.480 But then again, as Socrates observed, knowing how little you know is wisdom.

00:52:24.080 And these people are anything but wise.

00:52:27.440 Now, it's easy enough to see this sort of thing and dismiss it as cherry-picked and sensationalist.

00:52:34.680 Surely they spoke to people who answered all the questions with ease and therefore didn't make the final cut.

00:52:39.260 But, and maybe that's true, you know, sure.

00:52:41.220 But the fact remains that anyone can grab a camera, as we've seen, and a microphone,

00:52:46.380 and they can walk down any busy street in any city or across any college campus, 1.00

00:52:49.940 and they can run into an endless stream of drooling idiots who, 1.00

00:52:54.380 despite being highly educated on paper, are so mind-numbingly stupid 1.00

00:52:58.480 that my five-year-old would make a better Jeopardy contestant than they would. 1.00

00:53:02.740 It's also the case that these people exist and they're walking around in droves

00:53:06.380 in spite of the fact that every piece of simple, basic knowledge they don't possess

00:53:11.300 is readily available to them in the information age.

00:53:15.160 They can't recite the most fundamental facts about the geography of their own country, for example,

00:53:19.240 even though they carry around in their pockets a device that can, in an instant,

00:53:23.900 give them access to highly detailed satellite imagery of every nook and cranny of the country

00:53:29.240 and the world.

00:53:30.100 They can look at Antarctica if they want to.

00:53:34.860 They can pull out their smartphones, say, I wonder what's going on in the South Pole right now,

00:53:38.560 and just look at it, which is something that I often do.

00:53:43.140 I check on the South Pole just because, like, why not?

00:53:47.100 It's a fact. 1.00

00:53:48.180 If you're going to have this stupid phone carrying around, 1.00

00:53:49.880 the fact that you could just pull out your phone and look at satellite imagery 1.00

00:53:52.540 of the entire planet, that's awesome.

00:53:55.380 Why not make use of that?

00:53:59.180 Well, they've never done that, no, because they have no curiosity about the world.

00:54:01.960 Instead, they're just looking at TikTok videos.

00:54:04.920 You know, they can actually see the entire country,

00:54:08.020 and yet they know less about it than the average American in the year 1802,

00:54:12.300 back before the Lewis and Clark expedition, had even reached the Pacific Ocean.

00:54:16.180 The Pacific Ocean, by the way, ladies, is the one on the west side.

00:54:19.800 It's the one that you were right next to in Los Angeles.

00:54:21.740 People knew more about what the world looked like at a time when every map was speculative and wrong.

00:54:29.940 That's the reality. 1.00

00:54:32.000 And we know that people are this stupid, not just because of YouTube videos, 1.00

00:54:35.420 but because every survey, poll, or study done on the subject has verified it. 1.00

00:54:39.120 Americans are, it's a fact, woefully ignorant about history, geography, civics, everything. 0.99

00:54:45.500 Proven by all the available data. 0.99

00:54:47.060 And the problem only gets worse with each successive generation,

00:54:50.980 even as each successive generation is more educated than the last.

00:54:54.180 Consider this.

00:54:55.240 Gen Z is the most educated generation in the history of the world,

00:55:01.420 and yet they don't know anything.

00:55:05.800 So to emphasize again, those women in the video are current UCLA students, 0.57

00:55:10.700 accepted into the school, will surely graduate with honors probably,

00:55:14.480 and yet they don't even know that the United States has a capital, much less can they name it.

00:55:21.600 So what are the takeaways here?

00:55:23.520 Too many to list, but I'll give two.

00:55:26.400 To start with, I'm going to climb back up on my familiar soapbox and once again declare

00:55:31.200 that the greatest threat to our democracy is the fact that so many people are allowed to participate in it.

00:55:38.380 We have too many people voting.

00:55:40.200 The people in that video know absolutely nothing about the country they live in or its political system,

00:55:46.560 and yet they're allowed to participate in that system,

00:55:49.300 and their voice counts just as much as yours or mine.

00:55:52.700 We might as well give voting rights to animals at the zoo or vegetables at the produce section at the grocery store 1.00

00:55:58.840 if we're going to give them to the sorts of idiots who can't tell you which ocean resides directly to our east. 1.00

00:56:04.000 The idea that voting is a right which comes with no responsibilities at all is total madness. 1.00

00:56:11.860 Every right carries responsibilities.

00:56:13.740 Everyone needs to understand this.

00:56:15.000 And the responsibility of voting, the most essential responsibility of all,

00:56:17.980 is to maintain a basic level of awareness and engagement.

00:56:21.120 If you can't do that or you don't want to do it,

00:56:24.440 then there's no reason why you should be permitted to vote.

00:56:27.480 Why should we?

00:56:28.320 And you can't vote, actually.

00:56:30.780 Even when you do vote, you're not really voting.

00:56:32.880 You're just tossing darts at the broad side of a barn with your eyes closed. 1.00

00:56:37.700 If you're going to let abject morons vote, 1.00

00:56:39.920 you might as well just let blind people obtain driver's licenses while we're at it. 1.00

00:56:44.060 It's exactly the same sort of thing.

00:56:47.140 Second takeaway.

00:56:49.360 I am tempted to say that the education system is a failure because of stuff like this,

00:56:55.140 but that wouldn't be exactly right.

00:56:57.280 Now, it's true that the system,

00:56:59.220 it's a system which the youngest generation is filtered through

00:57:03.000 over the course of a decade and a half or even longer,

00:57:05.880 and yet they come out on the other end of it knowing absolutely nothing at all.

00:57:09.860 So at first glance, the education system seems like an enormously expensive piece

00:57:13.400 of factory assembly line equipment meant to make chairs or something,

00:57:17.060 and yet all it does is spit out hunks of wood and plastic on the other end.

00:57:20.460 It takes the raw material and produces a mangled pile of the same raw material.

00:57:29.220 In the case of the factory equipment, you would just junk the whole thing

00:57:32.440 and eat the cost and rework your entire chair-making process.

00:57:37.380 So it seems that we should do the same thing with the education system, and we should.

00:57:44.040 The education system is a catastrophe and should be ripped down to the studs and rebuilt from scratch,

00:57:49.800 but it's not a failure technically.

00:57:52.320 The reason it's not a failure is that our modern education system is not trying to create

00:57:57.680 knowledgeable, intelligent, mature, responsible Americans.

00:58:02.540 That's not what it's trying to do.

00:58:04.840 If it were trying to do that, then we could rightly say that it has failed in spectacular fashion,

00:58:09.080 but that's not the education system's goal.

00:58:11.280 It is instead, by design and intention, simply an ideological indoctrination mechanism

00:58:16.140 meant to create disciples of the leftist religion who will also be docile, compliant,

00:58:21.460 easily manipulated serfs, useful to the ruling regime. 1.00

00:58:27.680 Those people in the video, stupid, pathetic, oblivious, are exactly the sorts of people 1.00

00:58:32.780 the system is trying to create. 1.00

00:58:34.840 It is not a failure.

00:58:36.640 It is a resounding success.

00:58:39.640 The machine is functioning smoothly and with great efficiency.

00:58:45.820 And that is all the more reason why it needs to be demolished.

00:58:50.700 And that is why, ultimately, in light of that video,

00:58:54.320 everybody in it, but also the education system itself,

00:58:57.680 is today, canceled.

00:59:00.620 And that'll do it for this section of the show as we move over to the members block of the show.

00:59:05.840 And if you're not a member yet, go to dailywire.com, become a member,

00:59:09.340 and we'll see you over there.

00:59:10.760 If not, Godspeed.

00:59:12.060 Thank you.

00:59:13.080 Thank you.

00:59:25.460 Thank you.

00:59:29.160 Thank you.
