The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1024 - Public School Defends Male Teacher's Right To Wear Giant Fake Breasts

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, a school teacher sexually harasses his students by wearing massive prosthetic breasts to class, 0.92

00:00:06.500 but the school says that his gender expression is protected and only bigots would criticize him for it.

00:00:10.800 Also, Joe Biden is asked whether he's running for re-election, and he doesn't exactly say yes.

00:00:15.300 Plus, Bill Maher is accused of defending slavery.

00:00:18.220 In our Daily Cancellation, math teachers tried to explain why basic arithmetic is racist.

00:00:23.880 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 Do you really control your retirement savings?

00:00:37.520 If you've got a 401k or IRA, the government controls how much money you can borrow, when you have to pay it back, all of that.

00:00:44.020 Plus, you'll owe taxes and penalties for taking money out too soon or waiting too long, even though it's your money.

00:00:50.000 There's lots of rules attached to it.

00:00:51.380 Bank on yourself, though, is a better way to grow and to protect your hard-earned money.

00:00:55.600 This retirement plan alternative has never had a losing year in over 160 years.

00:01:00.720 Bank on yourself offers guaranteed, predictable growth of retirement income without any luck or guesswork required.

00:01:06.740 Your plan doesn't go backwards when the market tumbled.

00:01:09.340 Both your principal and your growth are locked in.

00:01:12.600 The strategy lets you take a tax-free retirement income to protect you from the incoming tax tsunami.

00:01:18.020 Unlike a government-controlled 401k or IRA, you control the money in your plan, no questions asked,

00:01:22.800 and without government penalties or restrictions.

00:01:25.420 Get a free report with all the details on how adding bank on yourself to your financial strategy adds guarantees, predictability, and control to your financial plan.

00:01:47.140 A little bit of sad news to begin the week.

00:01:50.400 According to multiple media reports, a trans woman, quote, unquote, has become the victim of housing-related discrimination in Texas.

00:01:58.960 As the story goes, Shayla Anderson, who's a male who identifies as a female, was targeted by a transphobic and racist property manager

00:02:07.700 and then served a notice of eviction, meaning evicted, all on the basis of being trans, all on the basis of sheer bigotry.

00:02:16.500 That, anyway, is the story.

00:02:17.900 But as is so often the case, the story and the reality don't exactly match up.

00:02:22.880 Here's a local news report with more details.

00:02:24.560 Watch this.

00:02:26.260 Shayla Anderson's home at the Grand Fountain in Richmond used to be her sanctuary.

00:02:30.640 When I first moved here, it was wonderful.

00:02:32.980 Before the last two years.

00:02:34.560 The worst thing I ever experienced in my life.

00:02:36.620 Shayla says it started when she and her husband made a noise complaint.

00:02:40.380 She says it was never addressed by management until she went to speak to the property manager.

00:02:44.420 I went to her office.

00:02:45.700 She said, I'm not going to speak with you about this.

00:02:47.520 I'm not going to speak with you about this, sir.

00:02:49.740 Shayla is a transgender woman.

00:02:51.620 Basically, she took my womanhood and crushed it by calling me, sir. 0.70

00:02:55.360 Shayla says she contacted Sunridge Management Group, the company who owns the apartment complex.

00:03:00.500 They never reached out to me.

00:03:01.760 That's when she filed this discrimination complaint with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, 0.97

00:03:06.680 and she says the situation got worse.

00:03:09.580 Do you live here?

00:03:10.200 This video went viral online.

00:03:12.780 She says it shows the property manager questioning her husband and son while playing basketball.

00:03:17.860 It was a group of African-American men in the basketball court playing basketball.

00:03:24.740 She felt that there were not residents.

00:03:28.060 Shayla says the property asked her to take the video down, and once she did, she received an eviction notice.

00:03:33.300 She says prior, she hadn't received any notices or warnings, and her attorneys advised her not to pay rent because of the ongoing litigation.

00:03:41.860 Well, that certainly looks like a credible person, doesn't it?

00:03:45.680 But looks can be deceiving and sometimes also a little bit disturbing.

00:03:50.780 Although the reporter tries her best to create a narrative favorable to the trans person, the reality still peeks through here.

00:03:56.120 We find out that the eviction notice was sent after Shayla Anderson stopped paying rent.

00:04:02.140 Now, everything else in this whole saga is effectively irrelevant in light of that relevant fact.

00:04:07.220 If you don't pay rent, you get evicted.

00:04:10.400 Shayla claims that attorneys advised against paying rent because of ongoing litigation.

00:04:16.400 Now, if that's the case, then the lawyers here are about as skilled and competent as Anderson's plastic surgeon.

00:04:21.900 Because, you know, you can't sue your apartment complex and then simply stop paying your rent until the lawsuit is settled.

00:04:28.760 That's just not how it works.

00:04:30.620 But there's a statement made earlier in the report that I think stands out and is more to the point for us, for our purposes today.

00:04:38.180 Anderson says that when the property manager used the word, sir, she had, quote, taken my womanhood and crushed it.

00:04:47.260 This is how it works now in our culture.

00:04:48.960 It is your job to reinforce the self-perceptions and fantasies of every person that you meet.

00:04:56.720 Their validation has become somehow your responsibility.

00:05:01.700 Anderson is clinging desperately to a self-concept that is fragile and brittle and can be broken into a million pieces, crushed, as we're told, by one simple three-letter word.

00:05:14.220 Now, no authentic real woman walks around like this ready to dissolve into a puddle if her womanhood is not affirmed.

00:05:23.900 I mean, a real woman doesn't need her womanhood affirmed. 1.00

00:05:28.160 That's because her womanhood is not an abstraction. 0.61

00:05:32.220 Okay?

00:05:32.460 It's not something that's just kind of floating around in the ether.

00:05:35.840 It is a reality.

00:05:36.960 It's vibrant and true and alive and solid.

00:05:40.640 And anyone who fails to recognize it would be embarrassing themselves, not the other way around.

00:05:46.660 But these kinds of solid realities are not what we're expected to validate.

00:05:50.960 Indeed, often those are exactly the things that we're expected to invalidate, to deny.

00:05:55.000 Our job, so says the culture, is to affirm the fevered imaginations and egocentric delusions of particular protected classes of people.

00:06:05.200 And although this story at the apartment complex down in Texas is an instructive example of this dynamic, it still pales in comparison, I think, to this.

00:06:14.840 Going up now north to Canada, reading from the news site Redux, it says photos and videos out of a Canadian high school are going viral as they show a male teacher wearing what appears to be a large prosthetic breasts in full view of young students.

00:06:30.780 Shocking media first began to circulate on Twitter earlier this week with multiple accounts sharing a cell phone video and stills of a shop teacher demonstrating how to use a circular saw.

00:06:40.480 The teacher is seen wearing an extremely prominent prosthetic bust, one which clearly outlines the nipples through his tight shirt.

00:06:47.840 He's also donning a bright blonde wig and short shorts.

00:06:50.820 Multiple photos and videos have surfaced of the same individual instructing young students, and in all of them, he's wearing the oversized bust.

00:06:58.120 The media has been confirmed as originating from Oakville Trafalgar High School in Oakville, Ontario.

00:07:06.900 The man seen in the photos and videos is a manufacturing technology instructor who allegedly began identifying as a woman last year.

00:07:14.720 The teacher now goes by the name Kayla Lemieux.

00:07:18.660 Quote, the kids here most definitely don't think it's normal, but realistically we can't say anything, one student said on Twitter.

00:07:24.980 Last year the teacher was a man.

00:07:27.000 I don't think the school can fire him.

00:07:28.300 Now, when you hear that it's said that the fake breasts he's wearing are oversized, I think then, if we put it that way, we are engaging in severe understatement.

00:07:40.140 He is, in fact, wearing prosthetic breasts the size of, like, hot air balloons.

00:07:45.260 His inner woman is apparently nine feet tall and weighs 800 pounds by the looks of it. 1.00

00:07:50.280 In fact, his inner woman seems to be literally bursting out of his stomach, like that scene from Alien.

00:07:54.340 Now, and we can make jokes about this because it's totally absurd, but actually it's not very funny.

00:08:01.300 The kids in his class are not, as you heard from one of the kids, they're not comfortable, and how could they be?

00:08:06.560 They're the victims of sexual harassment here. 0.83

00:08:09.660 And they're not going to be getting any help from the school.

00:08:12.020 As Redux reports in a follow-up, quote,

00:08:14.220 The Ontario High School, at the center of a controversy for having a male teacher, a male teaching young students while donning a large prosthetic bust, has issued a full defense of the teacher in newly leaked emails sent to parents.

00:08:27.460 It says, quote,

00:08:28.420 The school defers to the Ontario Human Rights Code, suggesting that any concerns about Lemieux would be akin to discrimination.

00:08:54.240 Well, we strive to promote a positive learning environment in schools consistent with the values of the HDSB and to ensure a safe and inclusive environment for all students, staff, and community, regardless of race, age, ability, sex, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, socioeconomic circumstances, or body type slash size.

00:09:19.100 Body type? Size? That's not his body type, though.

00:09:21.940 Well, that's not any human being's body type. 0.88

00:09:25.400 This is rather his hideous pornographic impression of a woman's body type. 0.98

00:09:32.460 It would be no different if he showed up to class in blackface. 0.99

00:09:36.580 Okay, imagine that he showed up for, maybe it's Black History Month and he decides to wear blackface.

00:09:42.420 Only in that case, blackface would actually be a little bit less grotesque because at least it would not be, presumably, it wouldn't have the element of fetish attached to it.

00:09:51.280 It would be merely offensive and insulting.

00:09:54.740 It wouldn't have the fetishistic element to it. 0.96

00:09:58.340 In this case, the teacher is not only making an ugly, outrageous mockery of womanhood, but he's also acting out a sexual fetish in front of the students.

00:10:07.940 Autogynephilia is a term you should all know because it applies to a lot of what we're seeing in the culture, although often it's mislabeled. 0.93

00:10:19.500 Autogynephilia is when a man is sexually aroused by the thought of himself as a woman.

00:10:24.860 It's not even that he actually sees himself as a woman or thinks he is one, but that he's sexually excited by the idea of himself that way. 0.93

00:10:38.280 We can safely assume that's the case for this guy, that we have here a case of autogynephilia rather than gender dysphoria because of the massive cartoonish breasts. 0.96

00:10:47.040 Which, by the way, are worn with a see-through, skin-tight shirt.

00:10:51.400 This is fetishism, not dysphoria.

00:10:55.580 What we're seeing is that no distinction is made between those two things because to the left it doesn't matter.

00:11:02.540 There's no limit to this.

00:11:05.780 A teacher could come to school wearing a strap-on dildo in front of the students and we'd be told that it's bigoted to object.

00:11:11.280 Once it is declared that the world's job is to validate an individual's internal feelings and perceptions, there is no rock bottom to that.

00:11:24.480 No basement.

00:11:26.160 We just descend further and further into madness.

00:11:30.680 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:11:32.120 Inside every progressive is a totalitarian screaming to get out.

00:12:53.880 So Joe Biden was interviewed by 60 Minutes.

00:12:58.340 And most of the interview, not very interesting or worth talking about for the most part.

00:13:01.700 But there were two or three brief moments that I think are worth taking some note of.

00:13:06.840 So first, here is Biden responding to his dismal approval ratings.

00:13:13.040 He's asked, how do you explain the fact that everybody hates you? 0.99

00:13:16.480 And, of course, the correct answer is that, well, what he should say is, I'm a miserable, wretched person and a failure. 0.72

00:13:23.480 And I'm doing a terrible job and people are suffering because of it. 0.94

00:13:25.880 He could give that answer.

00:13:26.840 But that's not the answer that he gives.

00:13:28.060 Let's listen to what he says.

00:13:28.880 Your approval rating in the country is well below 50 percent.

00:13:36.080 And I wonder why you think that is.

00:13:38.380 This is a really difficult time.

00:13:40.820 We're at an inflection point in the history of this country.

00:13:44.700 We're going to make decisions and we're making decisions now that are going to determine what we're going to look like the next 10 years from now.

00:13:50.780 I think you'd agree that the impact on the psyche of the American people as a consequence of the pandemic is profound.

00:14:02.640 Think of how that has changed everything.

00:14:05.840 People's attitudes about themselves, their families, about the state of the nation, about the state of their communities.

00:14:12.060 And so there's a lot of uncertainty out there, a great deal of uncertainty.

00:14:16.140 I love the answer because what he's saying basically is that the only way that his approval rating could be so low is if our entire national psyche has been profoundly changed.

00:14:30.980 That's the only way.

00:14:31.920 Like the way we see our communities, the way we see even our families and ourselves, all of that is warped and has been shifted and everything.

00:14:41.200 And that's why his approval ratings are so low.

00:14:43.380 I mean, if you don't approve of the job that he's doing, then it must be because your entire perception of reality has been somehow damaged.

00:14:56.080 But here's the part that I think a lot of people are making a big deal about when he's asked if he will run for re-election.

00:15:01.860 And he doesn't exactly say yes.

00:15:04.520 Let's listen.

00:15:06.220 Sir, are you committed to running again or are there certain conditions that have to be right?

00:15:11.940 Look, if I were to say to you, I'm running again, all of a sudden a whole range of things come into play that I have requirements I have to change and move and do.

00:15:20.720 In terms of election laws.

00:15:21.720 In terms of election laws.

00:15:23.200 And it's much too early to make that kind of decision.

00:15:26.380 I'm a great respecter of fate.

00:15:28.780 And so what I'm doing is I'm doing my job.

00:15:31.020 I'm going to do that job.

00:15:32.060 And within the time frame that makes sense after this next election cycle here, going into next year, make a judgment of what to do.

00:15:39.260 You say that it's much too early to make that decision.

00:15:43.820 I take it the decision has not been made in your own head.

00:15:47.240 Look, my intention, as I said, to begin with is that I would run again.

00:15:52.300 But it's just an intention.

00:15:53.780 But is it a firm decision that I run again?

00:15:56.640 That remains to be seen.

00:15:59.360 I think I said a lot's being made of this, especially in conservative media.

00:16:02.620 But this is, well, he didn't say he was going to run again.

00:16:06.200 I don't see it as anything significant.

00:16:09.240 He is going to run again.

00:16:11.220 Okay, let me, I don't mean to be a spoiler alert here or ruin any of the suspense that you might be experiencing.

00:16:18.500 But there's no suspense.

00:16:19.940 He's going to run again.

00:16:21.140 The only thing that would stop him, I mean, literally the only thing, is if he dies before 2024.

00:16:28.040 Which, he's an elderly man, so who knows?

00:16:32.100 We're getting up to the point when you get beyond the average life expectancy for a man in this country.

00:16:39.600 But aside from that, aside from that or some kind of truly debilitating health crisis.

00:16:44.740 And I say truly, it had to be physically debilitating.

00:16:47.400 Because we know he's already mentally debilitated.

00:16:49.760 That hasn't stopped him.

00:16:50.660 So if he's, like, confined to a wheelchair or something, then maybe I could see that he would feel he has no choice but to not run again.

00:17:01.040 Aside from that, he's going to run.

00:17:03.660 And how do I know that?

00:17:05.260 I mean, is it because the polls are in his favor?

00:17:08.200 Is it because there's a good chance he's going to win?

00:17:10.580 Well, no, obviously not.

00:17:12.740 It's just that these people, they don't give up power willingly.

00:17:17.480 They're not going to quit of their own volition.

00:17:23.820 Think about Joe Biden.

00:17:24.860 He's pursued this power his entire life.

00:17:28.580 His whole life has been in pursuit of this.

00:17:32.420 It's the only thing he's cared about.

00:17:34.460 He's been in politics his whole life, trying to climb up the ladder,

00:17:39.460 desperately crawling and kicking and scratching and everything to get there.

00:17:44.160 And then he gets there.

00:17:45.460 And yeah, he's half senile by the time he gets there.

00:17:46.980 You think he's going to give it up?

00:17:50.640 No, you've got to pry it out of his hands.

00:17:52.240 It's the only way he gives it up.

00:17:53.480 And it's the same for all these people.

00:17:55.860 They don't spend their whole lives pursuing this just to stop.

00:18:01.380 So, no, he will absolutely run again.

00:18:03.720 Guaranteed.

00:18:04.880 Finally, here's Biden on the pandemic.

00:18:08.520 I mean, we haven't heard much about it recently.

00:18:10.240 So what's happening with that?

00:18:11.920 Let's find out.

00:18:13.380 Mr. President, first Detroit auto show in three years.

00:18:16.620 Yeah.

00:18:18.120 Is the pandemic over?

00:18:20.380 The pandemic is over.

00:18:22.540 We still have a problem with COVID.

00:18:24.400 We're still doing a lot of work on it.

00:18:27.100 It's what the pandemic is over.

00:18:28.940 If you notice, no one's wearing masks.

00:18:30.660 Everybody seems to be in pretty good shape.

00:18:32.880 And so I think it's changing.

00:18:34.320 And I think this is a perfect example of it.

00:18:38.740 By the way, no follow-up there, in case you're wondering.

00:18:40.860 There's no follow-up.

00:18:41.540 He says, the pandemic's over.

00:18:43.520 We still have a problem with COVID, but the pandemic is over.

00:18:47.720 No follow-up.

00:18:48.760 Like, well, how do you distinguish between we have a problem with COVID, but the pandemic is over?

00:18:53.880 However, how do you delineate between those two things?

00:19:00.420 Of course, I agree with him that there is no pandemic, but then a lot of us have been saying that for a long time.

00:19:07.640 That's kind of the distinction that many of us have been drawing for a while now, that, yeah, COVID exists.

00:19:12.880 It's a problem in the sense that it exists.

00:19:15.680 It's out there.

00:19:16.720 People get sick.

00:19:17.980 There are lots of diseases that are like that, that are endemic.

00:19:22.960 They're a problem because people get them and they get sick.

00:19:26.460 But is it a pandemic?

00:19:28.340 Is that something we have to live every day worrying about?

00:19:30.440 We have to structure our life around it?

00:19:32.860 No.

00:19:33.060 But up until right now, the message from the Biden administration has been, no, COVID is, we're still in a pandemic.

00:19:40.340 I mean, they've said exactly those words.

00:19:41.700 We're still in a pandemic.

00:19:42.540 We've heard that time and time again.

00:19:44.000 And now, all of a sudden, in a 60 Minutes interview, he says, oh, it's over, actually.

00:19:48.500 And what we hear from the noted journalist there is no follow-up.

00:19:52.620 Just, oh, okay, well, it's over then.

00:19:55.500 So it's over now.

00:19:56.500 When did it end?

00:19:59.100 That's a question.

00:20:00.880 That question is not asked.

00:20:02.040 Oh, it's over?

00:20:02.720 Well, when did it end?

00:20:03.700 How do we know that it ended?

00:20:05.280 And why did it end then and not before?

00:20:09.120 For all the time that you spent saying we're still in a pandemic, like what changed between then and now?

00:20:14.760 It doesn't ask the question because we know the answer, of course.

00:20:17.120 It's, you know, not just a fortunate coincidence that the pandemic ends, quote, unquote, right before the midterms.

00:20:24.740 What do you know?

00:20:25.520 Just we're, you know, a few weeks out from the midterms, and that's when the pandemic finally ends.

00:20:32.680 How fortunate for the Democrats.

00:20:36.280 This is from Daily Wire.

00:20:37.680 It says, Martha's Vineyard residents congratulated themselves on their behavior after the arrival of 50 illegal immigrants sent by Governor Ron DeSantis.

00:20:45.780 The immigrants arrived on September 14th.

00:20:48.000 By September 16th, they had already been bused to Joint Base Cape Cod.

00:20:52.480 Rachel Self, an immigration attorney who insisted that the immigrants have been kidnapped, declared, we've got their backs and they're not alone.

00:21:00.740 A local volunteer said of the community, the year-round community is very strong because you're kind of isolated here.

00:21:06.460 Whether it's the fairy or the bad weather, you're stuck here.

00:21:10.000 They said, quote, we're used to helping each other.

00:21:12.220 We're used to dealing with people in need.

00:21:13.960 And we're super happy.

00:21:15.900 Like, they enriched us.

00:21:17.560 We're happy to help them on their journey.

00:21:22.120 The Martha's Vineyard residents, by the way, got the memo because when the illegals first arrived, they were not happy.

00:21:30.860 And they were complaining about it in front of cameras.

00:21:33.660 And then they saw the reaction on social media and they realized, okay, we've got to put on a happy face here and pretend that we're happy about this.

00:21:40.360 Oh, we're very happy to help them on their journey.

00:21:43.960 Their journey, by the way, is to be deported to a military base.

00:21:48.120 It's to enlist the military to get these people the hell out of here.

00:21:53.580 Oh, come on, everybody.

00:21:54.560 We're going to help you, all my Latinx brothers and sisters.

00:21:57.100 Come on, we're going to help you on your journey.

00:21:58.880 Let us guide you by the hand.

00:22:00.460 All the way.

00:22:00.940 Yep, over here, over here.

00:22:02.400 Right, okay, off the island completely.

00:22:05.420 Just shove them off.

00:22:09.060 That's what Martha's Vineyard did. 1.00

00:22:10.120 They had 50 illegals show up and within 48 hours, they had them on a bus. 0.92

00:22:15.120 They had the military there and they had them on a bus to a military base.

00:22:20.940 And now they're congratulating themselves.

00:22:22.920 We helped them on their journey.

00:22:24.300 I mean, that's, you know, if that's all it takes.

00:22:25.700 Like, if we can start deport, if we can enlist the military, number one, to help us with the illegal immigration problem and just start bussing these people out of here. 0.99

00:22:35.040 If we're able to do that, as long as we call it helping them on their journey, I'm fine with that.

00:22:41.160 Maybe that's the compromise.

00:22:42.520 We'll stop calling it deportation and we'll say it's journey assistance.

00:22:48.260 I don't know.

00:22:48.520 We think of a better title.

00:22:51.600 A local church, a member of a local church echoed this sentiment saying, actually, people here really give a damn.

00:22:58.540 They really care.

00:22:59.500 You know what?

00:23:02.320 This is why the political message, I think, was very successful.

00:23:08.120 I mean, yeah, after they've gotten rid of the illegals and sent them to a military base, now the residents of Martha's Vineyard are trying to pretend that they were not distressed at all by their presence. 0.94

00:23:19.820 And they can do that all they want.

00:23:20.600 I don't think anyone really falls for it.

00:23:23.000 But I think if you actually want to send the message home, if you want to make it very clear, then keep sending them.

00:23:29.500 I mean, we just heard from Martha's Vineyard residents that they're more than happy to help.

00:23:34.440 They're happy to help on the journey.

00:23:36.560 It's a different culture up there with all the rich people on their island.

00:23:40.860 They're isolated.

00:23:41.620 They're different from everybody else.

00:23:43.460 They're better.

00:23:45.660 Well, okay.

00:23:46.340 Well, then send them more.

00:23:48.080 Keep sending them.

00:23:48.820 Send 100 next time.

00:23:50.460 And the next day, send another 100.

00:23:54.440 Whatever the population is on Martha's Vineyard, match that in illegal immigrants. 1.00

00:23:59.500 And then we'll see.

00:24:00.920 We'll see how long this happy face can maintain.

00:24:06.660 Because that's really the point here.

00:24:08.140 If you're for states down in the south and for border towns, it's not like they get 50 illegals and then that's it for the year.

00:24:17.860 No, it is a constant, never-ending stream of thousands and thousands and thousands of these people.

00:24:26.140 And that's when it becomes an overwhelming problem.

00:24:28.280 So I think these Republican governors that are shipping the illegals to Martha's Vineyard or Chicago or D.C., they're getting the point across.

00:24:37.080 But if you want to really get it across, you can't stop.

00:24:38.940 You've got to keep doing it.

00:24:39.720 And I think the residents of Martha's Vineyard, again, they've given you the excuse.

00:24:48.200 They have said that they welcome it.

00:24:52.480 So they have no right to complain now.

00:24:54.220 Now they have officially invited more.

00:24:56.300 Bill Maher has gotten himself in trouble with the left yet again for a monologue he delivered on his show on Sunday.

00:25:09.560 And he's being accused because of this, what you're about to hear, because of these remarks, he's being accused of white supremacy and actually justifying slavery.

00:25:19.020 But let's listen and find out if that is a fair characterization.

00:25:21.800 Did Columbus commit atrocities?

00:25:25.520 Of course.

00:25:26.840 But people back then were generally atrocious. 0.60

00:25:33.680 Everybody who could afford one had a slave, including people of color. 1.00

00:25:39.560 The way people talk about slavery these days, you'd think it was a uniquely American thing that we invented in 1619.

00:25:47.460 But slavery throughout history has been the rule, not the exception.

00:25:51.800 The Sumerians, the Egyptians, the Greeks, Romans, the Arabs, British, the early Americans, all the way up through R. Kelly.

00:26:00.780 The Holy Bible is practically an owner's manual for slaveholders. 1.00

00:26:18.740 The word slave comes from Slav because so many Slavic people were enslaved and they're as white as the Hallmark Channel. 1.00

00:26:27.640 Who do you think gathered the slaves from the interior of Africa to sell to slave traders?

00:26:36.720 Africans, who also kept their own slaves. 0.56

00:26:39.400 And the whole monologue is quite good.

00:26:43.220 It goes on for about eight minutes.

00:26:44.460 It's worth listening to.

00:26:45.380 Putting aside the dig at the Bible there, which is silly and not true, the rest of it I basically agree with. 0.99

00:26:54.400 It's also not true that people back in earlier times were generally atrocious.

00:26:58.540 It's not like they weren't worse people, but they lived in a different time.

00:27:01.380 They lived in a more brutal time.

00:27:03.300 But generally speaking, the message there, I agree with it.

00:27:06.400 In fact, it might remind you of something.

00:27:08.340 It might remind you of a monologue that I delivered on this show very recently.

00:27:14.260 You know, it's very similar.

00:27:15.520 Now, I'm not accusing Bill Maher of listening to my show.

00:27:18.540 I would never accuse anybody of that.

00:27:19.740 But we have had a similar conversation, and I'm glad that Maher is talking about it.

00:27:24.180 It's important because it helps us to actually understand historical events when we put them in context.

00:27:31.280 Right?

00:27:31.780 You can't understand anything about history until you understand the context of the people that, you know, the context that people lived in back in those days.

00:27:40.620 It's funny, in fact, that the left cares deeply about context when we're discussing, say, the brutality of modern-day criminals, non-white criminals anyway. 0.95

00:27:52.840 So if we see another one of those videos of someone who's out on bail and has a lengthy rap sheet just randomly brutalizing someone, or there was one recently of someone robbing a convenience store and putting the cashier on his knees and then executing him, shooting him in the back of the head.

00:28:15.220 Of course, that person, lengthy rap sheet, criminal.

00:28:17.640 I think that person was out on bail, I believe.

00:28:19.460 We have many videos like that.

00:28:21.820 Whenever we see these videos, what we hear from the left is that, well, we have to understand the context.

00:28:27.120 We have to understand the systemic racism and all the things that they've suffered in their community.

00:28:31.400 We have to understand that.

00:28:34.880 And the context becomes an excuse that lets the criminals off the hook and back into the community to victimize even more people.

00:28:42.060 But then somehow they're totally uninterested in analyzing the context for anyone who lived on Earth prior to the modern age.

00:28:49.600 So people that are living today, some people anyway, get the benefit of context.

00:28:54.840 But nobody who lived before us gets the same grace.

00:29:01.400 They're all expected to just know better.

00:29:03.480 But with that attitude, you can never understand history.

00:29:08.020 And if you refuse to understand history, then studying it is pointless and impossible.

00:29:13.780 There's another reason why this matters also.

00:29:15.320 It's that, you know, it can give us an opportunity to analyze ourselves.

00:29:22.780 Like the fact that everyone in the world supported slavery for thousands of years, that almost no one voiced any objection to the practice in principle.

00:29:35.140 Now, there were people who objected to certain elements of the practice and objected when it was particularly brutal.

00:29:41.480 But as far as someone saying slavery itself is wrong, human beings are all equal, like that sort of thing, there was almost no one making that claim for thousands of years of human history across the entire world.

00:29:54.300 And that fact ought to make us reflect on ourselves because it goes to show how powerful a dominant cultural narrative can be.

00:30:04.240 You know, it's the power of the spirit of the age.

00:30:06.680 If everyone accepts something, everyone does, and nobody questions it, then it's very difficult to view that thing in a critical light.

00:30:17.920 Because you don't have, you haven't been given the framework for being critical of it.

00:30:24.140 Everything you've ever encountered, every opinion you've ever heard, everything around you serves to reinforce this cultural narrative.

00:30:31.900 And this force is so powerful that it even protected slavery from criticism for millennia.

00:30:38.940 Now, I think a lot of modern people, they tell themselves, they say to themselves, well, if I was born 500 years ago, I would have known better. 1.00

00:30:50.260 Everyone that existed in the world for thousands of years, they were all morons. 0.99

00:30:54.000 If only I was there, I would have told them. 1.00

00:30:56.360 I would have known.

00:30:56.980 But you almost certainly would not have known better.

00:31:01.400 Because you only know now that slavery is wrong because everyone you've ever met from birth onwards believes it was wrong and told you that.

00:31:10.320 You were told from birth that it's wrong.

00:31:13.500 You don't get any credit for that revelation.

00:31:17.040 Other people had that revelation.

00:31:19.040 And it's correct.

00:31:20.500 It's a correct revelation.

00:31:22.460 And they passed it on to you.

00:31:23.800 They told you.

00:31:24.460 Everything in your life reinforces the idea that slavery is wrong, thankfully.

00:31:30.480 So given that you've existed in this context, it's just meaningless to declare that you would have arrived at the same conclusion had the context been exactly the opposite of what it is today.

00:31:41.320 Now, the point here is not relativism.

00:31:44.420 Okay, it's not that slavery was okay back then because everyone thought it was.

00:31:50.700 If you're a relativist, then that would have to be your conclusion.

00:31:54.040 We're going to talk more about relativism in the Daily Cancellation.

00:31:56.620 But if you're actually a relativist and if you believe we all get our own truth and there's no objective truth, then you, of all people, have no basis for condemning anyone, really, but especially people in history.

00:32:07.600 And especially when it comes to something like slavery because it was their truth that slavery was okay.

00:32:11.620 Who are you to say otherwise?

00:32:12.440 But I'm not a relativist.

00:32:14.720 Of course, I believe that there is objective truth and objective moral truth, and it was objectively wrong even then.

00:32:21.300 But the point, again, is just to understand the power of a dominant cultural narrative.

00:32:25.000 So here's one way to know that you would not have opposed slavery.

00:32:32.820 If you're asking yourself, would I have opposed slavery if I lived 500 years ago or 200 years ago or 1,000 years ago?

00:32:38.300 Well, here's one way to know that you would not have opposed it.

00:32:42.480 If today all of your views and beliefs and ideas and opinions line up perfectly with, like, Disney and Apple and Hollywood movie studios and the people who run Twitter and Facebook,

00:33:00.820 look, okay, if everything you believe lines up perfectly with those organizations and what they profess, then you would have supported slavery, 1,000% certain that you would have.

00:33:15.980 How do I know that?

00:33:16.780 Because you are the sort of person who simply accepts and adopts whatever ideas are dominant and popular and supported by the cultural institutions of the day.

00:33:26.940 It's not a coincidence.

00:33:30.060 It just happened to be that your point of view, your worldview, lines up perfectly with all of the dominant cultural institutions.

00:33:40.540 No, they told you they are the dominant cultural institutions.

00:33:44.060 They're the most powerful institutions in the country.

00:33:45.920 They've told you what to believe, and you believe it.

00:33:49.320 And if that's the case, then it only stands to reason that if you had lived in a time when all the most powerful cultural institutions said that slavery was okay,

00:33:55.920 you would have believed that too. 0.99

00:33:58.080 Now the powerful cultural institutions say that women have penises. 1.00

00:34:02.060 Men can give birth to babies. 0.99

00:34:03.600 There are lots of people in this country who say, well, I guess that's the case then.

00:34:07.240 Twitter wouldn't lie to me about that.

00:34:09.980 All right.

00:34:10.680 A couple of things I want to mention before we get to the comments section.

00:34:14.940 Scrolling up to this.

00:34:15.860 This is from Fox News.

00:34:17.260 It says, not a single arrest has been made in the more than a dozen attacks on pro-life organizations across the country claimed by left-wing pro-abortion group Jane's Revenge.

00:34:27.980 Jane's Revenge has claimed responsibility for at least 18 arson and vandalism attacks on crisis pregnancy centers and other faith-based organizations throughout the U.S.

00:34:35.940 since the May 2nd leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion in Dobbs.

00:34:39.820 The FBI first told Fox News Digital in June that it had launched an investigation into the targeted vandalism.

00:34:47.320 The FBI said in a September 7th statement that it was still investigating the, quote,

00:34:51.960 series of attacks and threats targeting pregnancy resource centers and faith-based organizations.

00:34:56.700 But it made no mention of Jane's Revenge specifically.

00:34:59.960 Even though, again, Jane's Revenge has, it's, they've been very open about that.

00:35:05.320 They're claiming credit for this and they've made threats and they've carried out those threats.

00:35:09.820 So this is, it's a group of people who have announced themselves.

00:35:16.860 They haven't told us who they are.

00:35:18.500 They haven't done all of the FBI's work for them.

00:35:20.360 But they've announced themselves and they said, this is what we're doing.

00:35:22.900 We are breaking the law.

00:35:24.200 We're engaging in this terror campaign.

00:35:27.160 And here we are.

00:35:30.880 The FBI told Fox News Digital in an email,

00:35:33.220 Well, the incidents are being investigated as potential acts of domestic violent extremism and face act violations.

00:35:40.140 That's the freedom of access to clinic entrances violations or violent crime threats, depending on the facts of each case.

00:35:46.320 The FBI takes all violence and threats of violence very seriously.

00:35:49.100 And we're working closely with our law enforcement partners at the national, state, and local levels to investigate these incidents.

00:35:54.460 However, when you go through each of these incidents, and there are over a dozen of them, there are 18 in fact, what you find is that no arrests have been made at all.

00:36:04.120 So it says, the first of the attacks occurred on May 8th at Wisconsin Family Action in Madison, which was firebombed and vandalized with the threat, if abortions aren't safe, then you aren't either.

00:36:14.360 No arrests have been made in that case, which is still considered active, police told Fox News Digital.

00:36:21.180 Wisconsin Family Action President Julaine Appling told Fox News Digital,

00:36:25.040 Not only have no arrests been made, but to the best of my knowledge, no person of interest has even been apprehended or brought in for questioning.

00:36:31.540 So they haven't identified anyone remotely connected to it, they haven't questioned anybody, yet the investigation is ongoing, sure.

00:36:42.520 Appling said she hasn't heard from any federal or local authorities regarding this case since early June.

00:36:48.620 The same day of the attack at Madison, Jane's Revenge posted its first communique on the anonymous blogging host,

00:36:53.940 noblogs.org, with a picture of the vandalism and demanding, quote,

00:36:57.500 the disbanding of all anti-choice establishments, fake clinics, and violent anti-choice groups within the next 30 days.

00:37:04.860 And they continued.

00:37:07.560 Jane's Revenge claimed it carried out the vandalism on May 14th at Alpha Pregnancy Center in Reisterstown, Maryland.

00:37:14.820 The Baltimore County Police said an arrest has not been made in reference to this case.

00:37:18.040 There was another one in St. Michael Parish in Olympia, Washington.

00:37:23.460 Investigation is still ongoing.

00:37:25.080 No arrests have been made.

00:37:26.820 They told Fox News.

00:37:28.940 And then you go down the list.

00:37:29.800 So we have all of these cases of not just threats, not just violent threats, but actual crimes that have been carried out.

00:37:39.420 And there has been a failure on the local and federal level.

00:37:45.100 Because it should be, you know, it should be the local police investigating this.

00:37:52.000 Because it's a crime, it's vandalism, it's arson.

00:37:57.260 But then it's also a federal crime, too.

00:38:00.120 It's terrorism, it's a hate crime.

00:38:02.340 And as the FBI spokesman noted, it's also, it is a violation, kind of ironically, of a federal law, which was passed back in the 90s, meant to protect abortion clinics.

00:38:14.140 And this is the very same law that gives this kind of, this halo, this ring of protection, this force field around all abortion clinics.

00:38:26.160 Where if you want to go and pray outside of an abortion clinic, you can't get within whatever, I forget what the, you know, it's a certain amount of feet.

00:38:33.500 You're not allowed to get that close to the entrance of the abortion clinic, even if it's not their property.

00:38:37.340 So for any other institution, yeah, if they don't want you on their property, they can tell you to leave.

00:38:43.020 But you can stand one inch away from their property because it's not their property.

00:38:47.760 Abortion clinics are given this extra privilege of being able to kick people off of property that is not theirs. 0.91

00:38:55.620 Because it's close to their property.

00:38:58.100 And this all ties back to this federal law, this FACE Act, that was passed back in the 90s.

00:39:02.500 Well, in order to make that law seem less biased, they threw in something in there that also protects pregnancy centers.

00:39:14.500 That makes it a federal crime to attack or, you know, set a pregnancy center on fire.

00:39:20.760 They didn't think they'd ever actually have to enforce it.

00:39:22.600 They just put it in there, you know, just put it in there to make it as, to save face, basically.

00:39:29.960 Well, now it's actually happening.

00:39:32.500 Which means that federal law enforcement and local law enforcement should be looking into this.

00:39:36.140 And yet they've made no arrests at all.

00:39:38.840 Are these, I mean, who are the people doing this?

00:39:40.640 Are they ninjas?

00:39:41.880 I mean, are these criminal masterminds?

00:39:44.960 Couldn't you just start with, look at, I mean, there's security camera footage.

00:39:48.260 It shouldn't be that difficult to track this down.

00:39:51.540 A lot of these things are happening in cities and neighborhoods where there's security camera footage all over the place.

00:39:57.160 It shouldn't be hard to go look at the security camera footage, at least see someone.

00:40:00.320 We haven't even seen any videos or photos of persons of interest.

00:40:06.740 Nothing.

00:40:11.380 And I think we all know why that's the case.

00:40:14.200 All right.

00:40:14.780 Let's go to something that's,

00:40:16.000 people on the left are saying is worthy of mockery.

00:40:22.220 This is Utah State Senate candidate has earned the mockery and scorn of outlets like the Huffington Post.

00:40:27.940 Here's a sample headline.

00:40:29.380 Utah GOP candidate rhymes police and free speech and cringeworthy rap video.

00:40:34.680 This went viral on Twitter and people are making fun of it.

00:40:37.000 It's a Utah State Senate candidate who is announcing her entrance into the race through a little rap and a little bit of a dance that she put together. 0.92

00:40:47.580 Let's watch it.

00:40:48.220 Hey, Utah District 12, listen up right here.

00:40:58.220 There's a new name on the ballot for the Senate this year.

00:41:01.500 My name is Linda Paulson, Republican and awesome.

00:41:04.360 Love God and family and the Constitution.

00:41:07.560 I tried to get another conservative to run.

00:41:10.560 Nobody could do it, so I'm getting it done.

00:41:13.080 I'm pro-religious freedom, pro-life, pro-police, the right to bear arms and the right to free speech.

00:41:19.220 I want less government control and regulation, want to stop and expose all political corruption,

00:41:25.240 whereas integrity, morality, accountability, government programs should lead to self-sufficiency

00:41:31.220 and support traditional family as a fundamental unit of society.

00:41:37.180 But in schools, they're pushing for new beliefs.

00:41:40.120 And just to clarify, as a female adult, I know what a woman is. 0.99

00:41:45.540 There we go.

00:41:47.160 I download that on Spotify, put it on my playlist.

00:41:50.060 Look, is that embarrassing and cringeworthy?

00:41:56.100 Yes.

00:41:57.860 But I'm going to allow it because I think it's embarrassing in kind of an endearing way, you know,

00:42:03.680 because she's a grandmother.

00:42:04.680 And so she's embarrassing, it's like she's embarrassing her grandkids in the way that all grandparents are supposed to.

00:42:11.160 Now, if she's 30 years younger, it's a total disaster. 0.95

00:42:15.020 But given that she's a sweet old grandmother, it's kind of funny and wholesome.

00:42:18.320 It's wholesome.

00:42:19.260 It's embarrassing and cringy, but in a wholesome way.

00:42:21.160 So I'll allow it.

00:42:22.780 In fact, I would even say that we should, we need a lot more corny right-wing grandmas in local office. 1.00

00:42:29.680 That's exactly what we need, I would say.

00:42:31.100 So in this case, I have made, I get to make the determination here, passing down the verdict, and that is allowed.

00:42:42.960 So it has been declared.

00:42:44.660 Let's get to our comment section.

00:42:46.760 Daily cancellations are the law and order of the day.

00:42:52.200 We're the sweet baby gang.

00:42:57.180 Before we get into the comments, I don't think I need to set this up too much.

00:43:00.800 Ben Shapiro visited the studio, our studio, recently, and has a special message for the sweet baby gang that we can all watch now together.

00:43:11.060 No longer is anything can happen a tired cliche.

00:43:14.220 It's morphed into the logline of a horror movie titled Modern Day America.

00:43:17.920 The Daily Wire was born out of this cultural reality because, just like our listeners, we were tired of having our intelligence insulted.

00:43:24.260 We were tired of the overly simplified good guys versus bad guys paradigm that plagues politics.

00:43:28.820 That's why we strive to make the most innovative and culturally relevant content in the world.

00:43:33.420 And Matt Walsh has stepped up to that challenge in ways we couldn't have imagined.

00:43:37.320 He couldn't have imagined it either.

00:43:38.540 What started as a podcast recording in a parking lot has blossomed into millions of subscribers, a best-selling children's book, a groundbreaking documentary film, and an entire gang of sweet babies.

00:43:48.460 Matt, congratulations on all of your successes and many more to come.

00:43:52.480 Here is to another thousand episodes.

00:43:54.340 There's the walrus, the giant stuffed walrus.

00:43:57.880 Actually, it's right there.

00:43:58.620 You can't see it on camera, but it's been in my peripheral this whole time.

00:44:02.920 A little bit distracting.

00:44:04.920 The end of the saga.

00:44:07.680 An olive branch from Ben Shapiro.

00:44:10.440 No apology.

00:44:12.380 There's no apology.

00:44:13.360 No admission of guilt.

00:44:15.540 It's unfortunate, but I get my walrus at the end there, and that's all that matters.

00:44:20.320 And you saw it.

00:44:20.860 I mean, I told you that thing is giant.

00:44:22.120 This whole time I've been talking about it.

00:44:23.220 Now you see.

00:44:24.260 You see it for yourself.

00:44:26.160 And you know what?

00:44:28.600 My sweet babies, we fought for this.

00:44:31.920 We dedicated ourselves to this cause.

00:44:36.380 I don't want to get emotional about it, but I just wanted my giant stuffed walrus so bad, and now I have it.

00:44:42.900 And now I can bring it home.

00:44:44.080 And I can put it right in my living room.

00:44:48.220 A centerpiece.

00:44:49.480 A focal piece.

00:44:50.300 A conversation piece.

00:44:52.580 Just as my wife always wanted. 0.96

00:44:55.820 Actually, she's dreading this day.

00:44:57.180 So I move from one battle.

00:44:58.480 The battle actually is not over at all.

00:44:59.800 I move from one battle to an entirely different one when I lug this giant, ridiculous thing home, which will happen later today.

00:45:06.900 I look forward to that.

00:45:07.600 All right, Scotch and Ribeye says, ironically, I agree that parental consent should be irrelevant regarding gender-affirming care for minors.

00:45:16.420 These insane practices should be illegal regardless of whether or not some nutcase parent consents to it being done.

00:45:24.180 Well, I obviously totally agree with you.

00:45:27.740 This is not the kind of thing that a parent can consent to on behalf of a child.

00:45:33.000 But removing parental consent makes it all the more horrific because what that means is that if a parent does object and says, I don't want this, then I'm not going to do this to my kid.

00:45:44.000 And I'm not one of these nutcase parents that's trying to indoctrinate my kid into it.

00:45:47.940 Quite the opposite.

00:45:49.340 Those parents can now be dismissed.

00:45:52.240 As we saw from the WPATH guidelines we talked about on Friday.

00:46:00.160 And according to them, their new guidelines, the advice, because they don't have quite the power to actually pass laws, but they can come up with guidelines that then the other medical institutions, organizations all adopt uncritically.

00:46:16.760 According to them, yeah, parental consent matters.

00:46:19.660 It's important as long as the parent is saying yes and agreeing with us.

00:46:23.500 And if they're not, then it doesn't matter because that means that they're abusive. 0.93

00:46:28.000 T Biscuit says, personally, I've never heard of a human who referred to themselves as a sexologist and wasn't a pervy, scummy human being.

00:46:38.080 I'm sure there could be decent sexologists out there, but the name has such negative connotations for me now.

00:46:43.320 And for good reason, does it have negative connotations, but there are some exceptions.

00:46:47.840 One exception would be Deborah So, who's in our film, What is a Woman? 0.99

00:46:50.800 And she is a sexologist and a scientist, but one of the few who's willing to criticize gender ideology.

00:47:02.900 Darcy says, I laugh so hard at your son calling people humans.

00:47:07.280 Your guy's conversation shows your personality so vividly.

00:47:10.460 Your son gives reasoning just like you.

00:47:11.920 The funniest example of this, actually, is we went to a restaurant a couple weeks ago, and it was mostly empty.

00:47:17.600 I'll walk it in there.

00:47:18.600 And my son goes, there's only one other human in here, except that there was actually like six or seven people in the restaurant, which made me think, okay, what are the other people if they're not humans?

00:47:29.920 So, do you know something you're not telling me?

00:47:31.500 And Ippo Rose says, Matt, in The Princess Bride, the gatekeeper's name is Yellen, and the albino, at least in the book, is his cousin.

00:47:43.600 So, it's quite possible the albino's family name was actually Yellen.

00:47:46.500 Is that true?

00:47:47.000 Are you lying to me?

00:47:48.140 Is that actually true?

00:47:48.840 I've got to look that up.

00:47:49.600 I'm a big fan of Princess Bride.

00:47:51.120 I think it's one of the best movies ever made in terms of rewatchability, but I guess I'm not that familiar with the backstory.

00:47:58.200 So, you're saying the albino who runs the torture chamber, his name might actually be Yellen.

00:48:08.360 And last week, I observed, again, not as an insult whatsoever, but I observed that Janet Yellen, the treasury secretary, looks a lot like the albino who runs the torture chamber in Princess Bride. 0.99

00:48:19.820 And now you're telling me that they might actually share a name.

00:48:21.840 So, I was really on to something.

00:48:23.080 That's incredible.

00:48:23.500 Well, though he was the perpetrator and source of excruciating pain for me, personally, at long last, as we just saw, Ben Shapiro made the right decision.

00:48:34.180 He made the humane choice, albeit somewhat selfishly, to give me the walrus back.

00:48:38.760 I'm not going to give him a lot of credit for that, but I did get what is rightfully mine.

00:48:41.900 I'm not sure if this will make me eligible for workers' comp, but this has been the most torturous thank-you gift I've ever received.

00:48:48.380 To all those who have been holding out and standing in solidarity with me, it's time.

00:48:52.280 Your suffering and self-deprivation have come to an end.

00:48:55.780 You don't have to hurt anymore.

00:48:57.320 Not for me.

00:48:58.040 We can heal together.

00:48:59.420 I finally have a walrus.

00:49:01.580 My life is forever changed for the better because of it.

00:49:04.080 So, go get your own at dailywire.com slash shop today.

00:49:08.720 Also, here at The Daily Wire, we've been rapidly expanding our creative marketing team.

00:49:12.840 I want to call on my sweet baby gang creatives to head over to our career page and check out our open art direction, graphic design, and studio management positions. 0.97

00:49:20.840 This is a fast-paced environment, so if you thrive on that, you'll do well here. 0.99

00:49:25.020 If you're a lazy bastard, we don't want you. 0.99

00:49:28.160 I think it's time for my SBG call to take over The Daily Wire headquarters. 1.00

00:49:31.300 We're already taking over the world.

00:49:32.300 Now we've got to take over The Daily Wire next.

00:49:33.780 Just understand that as your leader, I will expect a lot from you.

00:49:37.100 Luckily, we're a meritocracy here, so to whom much is expected, much will be given.

00:49:42.220 Head over to dailywire.com slash careers to view our openings and to apply.

00:49:47.500 Let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:49:48.460 Well, if you watch my film, What is a Woman? 0.99

00:49:55.080 Then you're familiar with the lengths people will go to deny objective reality.

00:49:59.940 I asked one young woman in the film what would happen if my truth was that she no longer existed,

00:50:04.800 and she immediately replied that if that's my truth, that she doesn't exist, well, then she doesn't exist.

00:50:10.920 Such was her commitment to the relativistic viewpoint.

00:50:13.480 But since the two of us were standing in the same physical environment and having that conversation in the first place,

00:50:19.500 does that not indicate that there is some sort of shared reality that we both inhabit?

00:50:24.580 And since that reality has certain laws, certain immutable features,

00:50:29.100 does that not again indicate that there is one truth, one reality filled with lots of people who all harbor ideas and opinions,

00:50:35.820 which may or may not comport with that reality?

00:50:39.560 Isn't that what it means?

00:50:40.920 I mean, after all, no matter what your truth might be, we all still live in a world where two plus two equals four.

00:50:47.900 Or do we?

00:50:49.580 Ontario math teacher Heather, I'm not going to even attempt the last name,

00:50:54.200 Thijsmeyer?

00:50:56.360 Thijmeyer, maybe?

00:50:57.120 Well, whatever.

00:50:59.640 She says otherwise.

00:51:00.760 In a tweet reposted by Chris Ruffo, Heather, who again teaches math to kids, wrote, quote,

00:51:06.560 there are many math education practices that we, white folk, don't see as racist or supremacist

00:51:12.220 because they're so ingrained in our background and experiences,

00:51:15.220 and we've been the ones to benefit from them.

00:51:18.020 She then thanks someone named Jason Tu for shining a light on these examples of mathematical racism.

00:51:24.120 She then provides a chart in the shape of a pyramid,

00:51:27.700 which distinguishes between overt white supremacy in math education,

00:51:32.820 and then below that she has covert white supremacy in math education. 1.00

00:51:37.220 Now, examples of overt white supremacy are things like racially segregated classrooms,

00:51:43.480 which, by the way, is something that only the left actually supports anyway.

00:51:46.640 And also she says the N-word.

00:51:48.420 The N-word is an example of overt white supremacy,

00:51:51.100 which is a good tip for any math teachers out there.

00:51:53.180 Do not incorporate the N-word into your math instruction.

00:51:57.160 Just so you know, don't do that.

00:51:58.860 If you find yourself shouting the N-word while teaching long division,

00:52:02.520 something has gone horribly wrong, Heather points out.

00:52:05.040 And I'm glad that she's here to clarify that point.

00:52:07.640 But then we move to the covert examples.

00:52:10.760 And there we find a bit of a mixed bag.

00:52:13.460 So she says that standardized testing is white supremacy, 0.85

00:52:16.800 which is good news for me because I always did very poorly on standardized tests as a kid,

00:52:20.600 which I guess means that I'm not a white supremacist.

00:52:23.760 Of course, there are many valid criticisms you could make of the standardized testing approach,

00:52:28.320 and especially of a system structured around standardized testing.

00:52:31.240 But people like Heather make those conversations impossible by insisting on racializing everything, 1.00

00:52:36.240 as always.

00:52:37.440 She also says that the phrase,

00:52:39.140 stick to math is white supremacy. 1.00

00:52:41.980 And we could maybe spend some time reflecting on how stupid that is, 0.99

00:52:45.300 but we have bigger fish to fry because she also lists two plus two equals four as white supremacy. 0.99

00:52:52.940 Yes, only in a white supremacist fantasy land do two things and two other things equal four things.

00:52:59.560 If it wasn't for white supremacy, two apples and two apples would make nine apples or twelve apples 0.83

00:53:04.280 or three apples and orange and five coconuts. 0.80

00:53:07.320 Two and two apples would be a whole fruit salad if not for white supremacy. 0.84

00:53:11.540 Now, if this seems to make no sense at all,

00:53:14.300 that's because it doesn't make any sense.

00:53:16.600 But I think in fairness, I should let the advocates of this idea explain it for themselves.

00:53:20.840 Unfortunately, the teacher who posted this tweet locked down her account,

00:53:23.760 so we don't know what else she has to say.

00:53:25.200 The guy she credits for having shed light on this, Jason, too,

00:53:29.540 I went to his account to see if he's explained it.

00:53:32.420 And he, in fact, said that he's not going to explain why two plus two equals racism.

00:53:37.140 He says we should all simply accept it, I guess because he said so.

00:53:41.060 He did, however, retweet a different math teacher by the name of Lori Rubel,

00:53:45.740 who posted a thread on the subject.

00:53:47.980 And here's what she said.

00:53:49.620 What does the two plus two equal four talk mean?

00:53:52.560 Here we go again.

00:53:53.260 She then posts a meme and explains in the caption,

00:53:56.680 here's one way that two plus two equals four gets used.

00:53:59.760 A crowd of people has gathered holding signs with various alternative equations.

00:54:03.460 The one guy who apparently knows the truth is being excluded slash derided and called a Nazi.

00:54:08.200 That image isn't actually about math.

00:54:09.940 It's about truth.

00:54:11.020 Who holds the truth?

00:54:12.020 Who decides what is true?

00:54:13.380 And how open are we as a society to multiple truths?

00:54:17.300 Does this mean that anything goes?

00:54:19.380 No, it does not.

00:54:20.300 Here's another insidious way that two plus two equals four gets used.

00:54:24.260 It's used as a kind of basic truth and way to ridicule many critiques of mathematics as white and Western and as exclusionary.

00:54:32.160 Are those critiques suggesting literally that two plus two is anything other than four?

00:54:36.720 No.

00:54:37.040 Okay, so then what does it suggest?

00:54:40.460 I mean, what the hell are these people babbling about?

00:54:43.180 Well, Laurie then links to a different thread that she wrote on the same topic about a year ago, which tells us this.

00:54:48.200 The two plus two equals four talk signals that there is a single truth, a single way of looking at things, a single correct way to live or be, rather than multiplicities of all of these matters.

00:54:59.760 Since math is endowed with social authority and positioned as objective and as part of a natural order, that then implies that the singular approach is also part of the natural order.

00:55:09.020 That's why people reference two plus two equals four in racist, anti-trans, anti-queer talk, etc., because in their view, opening up math and how we teach it would imply a challenge to a natural order they hold as sacred, one in which white people and usually men are at the helm.

00:55:23.760 Okay, so in other words, they can't explain why two plus two equals four means racism because the claim is abject nonsense.

00:55:35.120 This is the way it always goes with these academics. 0.68

00:55:37.320 They make some absolutely ridiculous statement and then either refuse to explain it, insisting that their mere assertion should be good enough for us, that we should bow before them intellectually and accept whatever tripe spews from their pompous, self-satisfied mouths, or else they pretend to explain it.

00:55:53.180 But in reality, they're simply just talking around the issue, going off in half a dozen different directions.

00:55:58.860 And at the end of it all, we're left with an assertion layered in a bunch of other assertions with nothing in the way of an argument, much less a proof or evidence to be found.

00:56:09.940 Now, in this case, there are really two claims being made.

00:56:13.380 One is that there is no objective truth.

00:56:16.480 And two is that asserting an objective truth is racist.

00:56:20.720 And they don't explain either assertion.

00:56:23.180 And, of course, they don't actually believe either of them either.

00:56:26.460 Because if they did, for one thing, they couldn't possibly teach mathematics.

00:56:31.380 This is the whole point of bringing up two plus two equals four in order to explain that objective truth exists.

00:56:36.780 Because every math lesson would consist of them just sitting in front of the class and saying,

00:56:41.780 whatever you think is true is true.

00:56:43.520 You all get A's.

00:56:44.480 Congratulations.

00:56:44.840 Now, we may be getting to the point where school will be taught that way, but we aren't quite there yet, which means that they do believe in objective truth.

00:56:53.240 If they teach math, to teach something means that you believe that there is an objective truth to be taught.

00:56:58.800 The very act of teaching means that you are affirming that there is a truth.

00:57:02.540 Because if there isn't, then that means that you're just, what, trying to get the kids to accept whatever subjective point of view you have?

00:57:11.360 What's the point of that?

00:57:12.380 That seems highly egotistical.

00:57:15.560 Also, I'm willing to bet that if either of our friends, Laurie or Heather, ever encountered, say, an actual white supremacist, I mean, a real one, like an actual Klansman, one of the four who exist in the country,

00:57:29.020 would they not be willing to agree that the guy's worldview is true on any level?

00:57:34.060 I mean, would they affirm his worldview?

00:57:38.300 Would they give him the benefit of his own truth?

00:57:42.980 No, they wouldn't.

00:57:44.080 In fact, they would insist that he is both factually and morally wrong about everything he believes.

00:57:50.920 And they would condemn him accordingly.

00:57:53.420 The only way that you can condemn someone for their worldview or their racism or bigotry is if you are asserting some factual and moral truth that you expect them to comport to and conform themselves to.

00:58:08.460 In fact, even for people who aren't Klansmen, they'll do this.

00:58:13.260 The very statement, two plus two equals four is white supremacy, that in and of itself is an assertion of truth. 0.92

00:58:21.720 Everything you heard in the explanation was an assertion of truth.

00:58:27.420 And it all rests on the belief that white supremacy, whatever it is, is bad, which is also an assertion of truth. 0.81

00:58:34.820 So they do believe that there is a truth.

00:58:38.280 There's an objective truth, a reality that we all inhabit, which has not only scientific and physical laws, but even moral laws.

00:58:46.920 It's just that they're very selective in who should be forced to abide by these laws.

00:58:51.500 So this is racial paternalism cloaked in so-called anti-racism, which is to say it's just anti-racism because that's all anti-racism ever is.

00:59:01.080 Now, briefly leaving aside the problem that these people don't actually believe anything that they're saying.

00:59:07.560 And also the problem that you can't deny objective truth without asserting it at the same time.

00:59:11.780 Because saying there is no objective truth is an assertion of an objective truth.

00:59:16.780 So, but leaving all that aside, I want to focus on one thing.

00:59:22.240 Lori says in her explanation, again quoting,

00:59:26.580 The two plus two equals four talk signals that there is a single truth, a single way of looking at things, a single correct way to live or be, rather than multiplicities of all these matters.

00:59:35.060 Well, right, this is exactly the problem.

00:59:37.620 She says that two plus two equals four signals that there's a single truth.

00:59:40.700 Well, yeah, it does. I mean, that's the point.

00:59:42.420 There is one single truth.

00:59:43.800 And in that truth, which is the only truth, two things combined with two other things make four things.

00:59:49.280 But then she goes on and says that it also signals that there is one way of looking at things and one correct way to live.

00:59:57.020 But it doesn't signal that at all.

00:59:59.500 And the truth, the way we look at things and the way we live, these are three categories.

01:00:04.200 They're not all the same.

01:00:05.560 They don't belong in the same category.

01:00:08.180 The truth is just the truth.

01:00:09.580 It's the reality.

01:00:10.580 It's the state of things.

01:00:12.980 That's what the truth is.

01:00:14.600 And it persists.

01:00:16.280 It maintains, no matter what we think or how we live.

01:00:20.600 As far as what we think and how we live, we have lots of freedom in that regard.

01:00:25.180 Not complete freedom.

01:00:27.180 I can't live at the bottom of the ocean.

01:00:28.980 I can't live on the moon.

01:00:30.520 The reason I can't live that way is that physical reality, otherwise known as the truth, precludes it.

01:00:35.160 But within certain parameters, I can live basically how I want, and I can certainly think what I want.

01:00:41.240 Yet I cannot, through the power of my thought or the manner of my lifestyle, change the fundamental facts of reality.

01:00:50.100 I can choose to acknowledge those realities or not, but the realities persist.

01:00:55.700 This is how the relativists play the game.

01:00:57.980 They conflate reality with perspective and lifestyle.

01:01:01.440 They assert that because there's a multiplicity of perspectives and lifestyles, there must also be a multiplicity of realities.

01:01:06.880 But then, of course, by trying to create more realities, they actually erase the multiplicities of perspectives.

01:01:14.540 Because what they're actually asserting is that each reality has only one perspective.

01:01:19.020 And if you have another perspective, then you exist in a completely different reality.

01:01:23.720 What they're saying is that in this reality that I'm in, there's only one perspective.

01:01:27.800 Anyone has a different perspective than that.

01:01:29.380 They branch off to their own, we live in this multiverse, and each multiverse, each little universe in the multiverse is populated by one person.

01:01:39.200 You only get one perspective for each universe.

01:01:43.940 In summation, the relativists cannot explain their arguments.

01:01:49.180 They can't defend or prove them.

01:01:51.120 They don't even mean most of what they're saying.

01:01:53.320 And they can't help but contradict themselves a dozen times in one sentence.

01:01:57.060 It's a mess, in other words.

01:02:00.260 And it is why they are all today canceled.

01:02:03.800 And that will do it for this portion of the show as we move over to our members' block.

01:02:07.780 Hope to see you there.

01:02:08.740 If not, talk to you tomorrow.

01:02:10.420 Godspeed.

01:02:54.700 If you'll see you tomorrow.
