00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, Americans continue to drop out of the workforce at an alarming pace.
00:00:04.720 This is part of a general decline that includes church attendance and marriage rates.
00:00:08.280 What is behind all of this and how much of it is the leftover effect of the COVID shutdowns?
00:00:12.880 We'll talk about that today.
00:00:13.800 Also, Republicans add another election loss to their tally.
00:00:17.160 Time magazine shocks no one with their person of the year selection.
00:00:20.460 A grand jury report proves that the sex abuse scandal in Loudoun County is way worse than we thought.
00:00:25.240 California makes plans to deliver reparations.
00:00:27.740 And a woke TikToker explains why white people should seek permission before hanging out with black people.
00:00:33.760 It's very important advice.
00:00:34.980 All of that and more today on the Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:45.420 You know, Roe v. Wade has been overturned and this battle is now finally leaving D.C. and going to the grassroots.
00:00:51.540 No group in America is better positioned than 40 Days for Life.
00:00:54.580 With about 1 million volunteers in 1,000 cities, 40 Days for Life holds peaceful vigils outside of abortion facilities.
00:01:00.660 They have a larger presence in blue states, with California being their largest state.
00:01:04.560 Some former abortion facility directors say these vigils can cause the abortion no-show rate to go as high as 75%, which is detrimental to their abortion business.
00:01:11.600 These law-abiding vigils have closed many abortion businesses in America, and nearly half of those closed abortion facilities were in liberal cities, where abortion will remain legal, including closures in San Francisco, Chicago, and Seattle.
00:01:23.720 40 Days for Life is effectively changing hearts and minds in the grassroots to end abortion.
00:01:28.200 You can check out their locations, podcasts, and free magazine at 40daysforlife.com.
00:01:32.420 The fight continues. It is not over. So it's so important for you to get engaged.
00:01:36.940 And for more information, again, go to 40daysforlife.com. That's 40daysforlife.com.
00:01:41.700 Well, back in 2020, as we all recall, and we'll never forget until the day we die, governments across the world forced citizens into their homes, closed our workplaces, our churches, our schools, everything,
00:01:54.160 and invented arbitrarily a stifling series of rules and regulations to govern anyone who still dared to venture outside of their homes and gather around other human beings, if they dared.
00:02:05.700 They tried to muzzle our faces. They told us how many feet we're supposed to stay separated from each other.
00:02:10.440 They did all this out of some combination of panic, incompetence, and, of course, premeditated malice and opportunism.
00:02:19.260 I don't really need to recount the story. I realize we all lived through it and recently.
00:02:23.980 But even as most of the insane anti-human, anti-freedom COVID policies have fallen away, somehow we are still living through that period perpetually.
00:02:35.600 The vestiges of the COVID days remain. People retreated into their homes and out of society.
00:02:44.140 And it would seem a certain large portion of those people never came out. They never returned.
00:02:50.160 A writer named Matthew Stoller pointed to the problem in a tweet yesterday that got some attention.
00:02:54.500 He said,
00:02:54.700 Now, the numbers bear out what he's talking about. The Wall Street Journal reports on just one aspect of this problem.
00:03:19.240 A report this week says,
00:03:49.240 And if these sound like small percentage points, keep in mind, we're talking about over the course of just a couple of years.
00:04:09.860 And also keep in mind, 1.7% of males ages 20 to 24, the actual raw numbers here are very large.
00:04:17.760 So the labor shortage is a real problem. It's not just among young men.
00:04:22.020 This is a nationwide, all demographics issue.
00:04:25.920 And as a piece on Fortune.com reported last week, it's a problem that is probably here to stay.
00:04:32.840 Because whatever's driving it now, declining birth rates, mean that eventually there simply won't be enough young, able-bodied human beings left to fill all the jobs.
00:04:42.680 And that's because the societal withdrawal that we're going through extends far beyond the labor market.
00:04:49.900 People aren't just refusing to go and get jobs.
00:04:52.580 They're also refusing to get married.
00:04:54.100 They're refusing to have babies.
00:04:55.160 They're refusing to start families.
00:04:56.380 All the things that we talk about on this show all the time.
00:04:58.720 This to go along with, yes, the drastically declining church attendance and religious affiliation.
00:05:03.340 Everything seems to be on the decline, except drug overdoses and suicides.
00:05:09.120 Those are steadily climbing.
00:05:11.360 So something is going on, yes.
00:05:13.540 We are seeing a mass retreat, an epidemic of self-isolation, unlike anything that we've ever encountered before.
00:05:22.980 Mass numbers of people have dropped out of society, not in the sense of, like, burning their driver's license
00:05:29.200 and hiking into the Alaskan wilderness like Chris McCandless and into the wild.
00:05:34.480 That's a much more respectable sort of dropping out.
00:05:37.440 It's at least fully committed, so you can respect that.
00:05:40.060 Our dropouts are different.
00:05:41.900 They're not, you know, out hunting for game in the forest.
00:05:44.580 They're in their homes or someone's home, maybe their parents, enjoying all the luxuries of modern society,
00:05:50.080 watching TV, using their phones, scrolling the internet, ordering DoorDash, playing video games.
00:05:55.440 Yet they're not participating in society.
00:05:57.680 They're living off of society.
00:05:59.500 They are not contributing to it.
00:06:02.080 That's the kind of dropout we're talking about.
00:06:05.460 So why?
00:06:06.300 Why is this happening?
00:06:07.580 I began by talking about the COVID shutdowns.
00:06:10.240 And there is no question that they played an enormous role in bringing us to our current state.
00:06:14.080 The shutdowns can be partially blamed for really everything that happens in our culture from here on out.
00:06:18.860 Because they were that kind of pivotal moment in our history.
00:06:22.540 Everything is different now because of them.
00:06:24.740 Nothing has been left untouched.
00:06:26.200 Nothing is the same.
00:06:28.540 The shutdowns had an incredibly demoralizing effect on the population.
00:06:34.720 The vast majority of us were declared non-essential.
00:06:37.980 And not just in our jobs, but nearly every part of our lives.
00:06:41.260 All of the parts that we live and experience outside of our homes were designated non-essential.
00:06:47.580 You were told that it's not essential to go to work.
00:06:50.180 It's not essential to go to school.
00:06:51.580 It's not essential to go to church.
00:06:52.940 It's not essential to go to the park with your kids.
00:06:55.480 It's not essential to go to the beach.
00:06:56.880 It's not essential to gather together with your family around the holidays.
00:07:00.480 It's not essential to sit by your grandmother's bed and hold her hand while she dies.
00:07:04.960 It's not essential to see the faces of strangers that you pass by on the streets.
00:07:09.500 It's not essential for them to see yours.
00:07:11.660 And I think part of what's happening here is that many people took all this to heart.
00:07:17.880 And though most of them have reentered society to some extent since then, the message settled into their minds, into their souls, that none of this matters.
00:07:27.360 None of it's essential.
00:07:28.600 All that matters is that you keep breathing, that you linger on.
00:07:33.340 And as long as you're fed and sheltered and entertained, you should be perfectly satisfied with that.
00:07:38.100 And if you get to the point where you're not satisfied with that anymore, well, then you take the way out, the way out that Canada, if you live in Canada, is perfectly willing to facilitate for you whether you have a terminal illness or not.
00:07:51.340 So as a people, it would seem that, generally speaking, we learned all the wrong lessons from COVID.
00:07:58.180 I mean, it could have been a time of radical reorientation, you know, of like refocusing on the things that truly matter, of confronting our mortality, of the fragility of human existence, committing ourselves to living full lives with purpose and meaning.
00:08:15.800 That's not what happened societally.
00:08:18.260 Instead, the word came down from the top, from the powers that be, and it resounded in the minds of so many in the population, too many, that you don't need purpose or meaning or joy in your life.
00:08:30.860 You don't need other people.
00:08:32.580 You don't need relationships.
00:08:34.860 You don't need family.
00:08:37.060 You need simply four walls and a roof to exist inside of and enough gadgets to keep you distracted.
00:08:43.440 But we cannot let our analysis ignore the fact that all of the troubling trends that we're highlighting here were also present before COVID.
00:08:53.740 So, yes, COVID plays a role in all of this, just like it's going to play a role in everything, as I said, that happens from here on out because it was that sort of moment.
00:09:03.540 The virus, or our response to the virus, rather, accelerated the trends, amplified them, gave them a kind of turbocharged boost, but it didn't create these problems out of whole cloth.
00:09:13.440 Without COVID, we would have ended up probably where we are now, except perhaps maybe it would have taken us another 20 years to get here.
00:09:19.920 So what lies at the root of it all?
00:09:23.380 Well, there's a reason why we as a society learn the wrong lessons from our experiences over the last couple of years.
00:09:31.120 It's because the wrong lessons are the same ones that have been drilled into our heads by the culture from birth.
00:09:37.760 It's the message that our kids are being taught.
00:09:40.640 It's a message of nihilism.
00:09:43.440 You know, that's what lies at the heart of all this.
00:09:46.940 People aren't working, or they aren't working hard.
00:09:49.360 Remember the so-called quiet quitting trend, the very popular trend, which is part of this story, too.
00:09:55.520 It's not just people not going to work.
00:09:57.100 There are also lots of people going to work, but they don't care anymore.
00:10:01.020 So they're doing that.
00:10:03.340 They're not getting married.
00:10:04.220 They aren't going to church, wasting their lives looking at their damned phones, because they don't see meaning in anything.
00:10:11.840 They are simply biding time until they die.
00:10:15.020 They treat life like a waiting room.
00:10:17.140 Just amuse yourself until your name is called, except that they believe we're waiting for nothing.
00:10:21.580 So our name will be called, and we'll be ushered into oblivion.
00:10:25.040 We come from nothing, we'll become nothing again, which means that we are fundamentally nothing right now, and nothing means anything.
00:10:30.860 Nothing matters.
00:10:32.700 That's at the heart of this.
00:10:33.840 All that matters is deriving pleasure from wherever you can derive it.
00:10:39.520 Satisfy your desires, satiate your ego.
00:10:43.160 This also explains the rise.
00:10:44.900 I said everything's declining except suicide and drug overdose.
00:10:47.480 The other thing rising, though, is LGBT identification.
00:10:52.620 That's because people are looking for their identity in their sexual proclivities.
00:10:58.900 Just satisfy yourself.
00:11:03.040 Pleasure, that's all that matters.
00:11:04.380 There's nothing more to do in life.
00:11:06.280 There's nothing more to offer.
00:11:08.240 And leads nowhere in the end.
00:11:10.140 So hop on your phone, scroll and scroll, keep yourself distracted until the lights go out.
00:11:15.300 And I think a large number of people are satisfied with that kind of life, or at least, if they're not satisfied, they have resigned themselves to it.
00:11:23.740 This life of nothingness.
00:11:26.140 So where do we go from here?
00:11:28.900 Well, there is no solution.
00:11:30.700 There's no hope outside of what we really need, which is a full spiritual revival.
00:11:35.100 I mean, we spend too much time dancing around the edges of the cultural rot.
00:11:39.100 We need to confront it down in the darkest depths at its core.
00:11:44.620 You know, the parts of this problem nobody wants to look at because it's pretty depressing.
00:11:48.360 If you go down all the way down there to the core, you find that it's totally empty.
00:11:52.720 There's a giant cavern that needs to be filled with something.
00:11:56.840 And what is that something?
00:11:58.980 Truth.
00:12:00.120 You know, with meaning, with faith, with God.
00:12:04.380 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:12:06.180 Will the lack of a red wave during the midterms lead to more reckless spending by a more emboldened administration, higher taxes maybe, deeper inflation?
00:12:19.680 If you're unsure how the next two years will unfold, talk to Birch Gold Group about protecting your savings with gold.

00:13:11.060 You've got to text Walsh to 98-98-98 and protect yourself with gold today.
00:13:15.080 All right, so we begin the five headlines with some more great election news for the Republicans.
00:13:22.160 Hooray.
00:13:24.000 Daily Wire has the report.
00:13:25.320 Senator Raphael Warnock has defeated Republican challenger Herschel Walker in Georgia's 2022 Senate runoff election.
00:13:31.340 Decision desk headquarters called the race at approximately 9.48 p.m.
00:13:35.480 Neither Walker nor Warnock secured more than 50% of the vote during the general election, thus triggering the runoff election held on Tuesday.
00:13:41.420 Warnock's victory follows a disappointing midterm election from Republicans across the country, aside from several bright spots in the Georgia and Florida gubernatorial races.
00:13:50.820 Many pre-midterm polls and analyses predicted a red wave.
00:13:53.920 We know about that.
00:13:54.520 This is Warnock's second runoff after he defeated GOP candidate Kelly Loeffler in the 2020 race, which was not decided on the day of general election.
00:14:02.280 However, there were some changes to the voting process this time around.
00:14:06.160 All right, so not a terribly surprising turn of events.
00:14:09.200 And another loss for Republicans just added to the list.
00:14:16.040 And this brings us back to the blame game, the finger pointing, who's at fault, what is at fault?
00:14:21.320 And the answer is it's sort of all of the above, right?
00:14:23.900 All of the things that people are pointing to, all of that plays a part.
00:14:28.060 Mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, yes.
00:14:30.480 Obviously, that's part of the story here as always.
00:14:32.280 Also, weak candidates.
00:14:34.860 You know, we can't get around that problem.
00:14:37.180 That might not be the only issue here.
00:14:39.420 It's not just a matter of candidate quality, but it is also that there were Republicans who won in Georgia, like Kemp, for example.
00:14:50.340 Herschel Walker didn't.
00:14:52.640 And Herschel Walker is a celebrity.
00:14:54.520 Okay, but that's pretty much all that can be said about him.
00:14:58.200 That's the only argument anyone could ever make for him is he's a celebrity.
00:15:03.140 And then in the general election, the real argument is that, well, he's the Republican.
00:15:06.280 He's better than Raphael Warnock, which, of course, he was.
00:15:08.380 But it's not hard to be better than Warnock or any Democrat.
00:15:12.120 So he was not a strong candidate.
00:15:13.900 He didn't have any sort of track record that would make anyone think he'd be a good senator.
00:15:19.240 He had loads of baggage.
00:15:20.700 He was not at all good at articulating his ideas.
00:15:25.940 Just a weak candidate.
00:15:27.500 And that's an issue, too.
00:15:29.820 Republicans pick some very weak candidates this time around, every time around.
00:15:34.920 And it's not that every Republican who lost was weak.
00:15:37.940 There were a few very strong Republicans, very impressive candidates who lost.
00:15:43.180 But overall, candidate quality is an issue.
00:15:47.220 What's the solution to that?
00:15:48.480 Well, you know, Republican leadership needs to be cleaned out.
00:15:51.980 Everyone needs to be fired.
00:15:53.000 But that's not happening.
00:15:54.100 It hasn't happened so far.
00:15:56.780 Usually, there's the establishment of the Republican Party.
00:15:59.060 They're rewarded for their failures.
00:16:00.600 They're able to reward themselves.
00:16:01.960 And that seems to be what's happening here again.
00:16:04.520 Republicans need to master the ballot harvesting and mail-in voting game.
00:16:08.660 But there doesn't appear to be much will or desire to do that either.
00:16:11.120 Because instead, we'd rather stamp our feet and talk about how unfair it is.
00:16:17.000 And how much we don't like it.
00:16:18.240 And I don't like it either.
00:16:20.500 But we just have to decide.
00:16:21.980 Do we want to lose forever?
00:16:24.860 Or do we want to win?
00:16:27.140 This is a choice.
00:16:28.060 Do you want to win or not?
00:16:29.460 Because you can't do it.
00:16:32.060 You have to win first before you can do anything else.
00:16:35.640 You want to reform our elections.
00:16:39.420 You want to make changes to the way the elections are conducted.
00:16:42.220 You can't do that unless you win.
00:16:43.960 You have to win first.
00:16:44.900 To do anything, you have to win.
00:16:48.200 And you will not be able to win if you don't master the system as it's currently in place.
00:16:53.140 If you don't learn how to exploit the system as it's currently in place, you will just never win.
00:16:57.420 And you can have your purity as you lose.
00:17:00.100 We can all lose and be very pure in our losing.
00:17:03.460 And say we stood on our principles.
00:17:04.700 We don't like mail-in voting and ballot harvesting.
00:17:06.480 And so we refused to do it.
00:17:07.420 And so we just lost forever.
00:17:08.620 Democrats took over everything.
00:17:09.780 And that was it.
00:17:13.460 So is that what we want?
00:17:14.600 Do we want to be the pure-hearted losers?
00:17:19.740 Or do we want to be smart and cunning and have our wits about us and win?
00:17:28.380 I hate mail-in voting.
00:17:29.940 I hate ballot harvesting.
00:17:31.100 You know how I feel about it.
00:17:34.220 But it's here.
00:17:35.600 It's happening.
00:17:36.700 It's a thing.
00:17:39.600 And we also need better candidates, too, going forward.
00:17:42.660 You know, this idea that whether it's Herschel Walker or Oz in Pennsylvania, this idea that,
00:17:50.020 well, they're a celebrity, so that means that they'll cruise to victory.
00:17:54.880 Hopefully, anyone who harbored this hallucinatory idea has been disabused of that notion now.
00:18:06.020 It just doesn't work that way.
00:18:10.380 No one is.
00:18:11.100 You know, the celebrity factor, it really means less and less, honestly, with each passing year.
00:18:19.180 If this was 10 or 15 years ago, it might be a different story.
00:18:23.440 But these days, I think, actually, the celebrity factor means less than it ever has.
00:18:28.260 Because, first of all, nobody's impressed with celebrities anymore.
00:18:30.920 Like, no one cares.
00:18:31.540 It's just there are a million celebrities.
00:18:34.000 There are a million famous people.
00:18:35.540 It doesn't mean anything anymore.
00:18:38.020 And also, because of the overexposure, all of the politicians immediately become celebrities anyway.
00:18:45.520 I wish it wasn't that way.
00:18:47.000 They shouldn't be.
00:18:47.780 But that's the way it goes.
00:18:48.620 Because 24-hour cable news coverage and social media and the internet, just this overexposure.
00:18:52.940 We see them all the time.
00:18:54.200 We hear about them all the time.
00:18:55.520 And so, in effect, they all become celebrities.
00:18:57.900 And so, if that's what you're falling back on, oh, he's famous, it's not going to be enough.
00:19:07.420 Nobody cares.
00:19:08.300 It doesn't matter.
00:19:09.340 It's not impressive.
00:19:12.920 Especially when it's someone who was famous for being a football player, you know, 25 years ago.
00:19:19.200 Nobody cares about that.
00:19:22.180 No one cares about celebrity, you know, at all, really.
00:19:24.880 That's the honest truth.
00:19:27.900 All right.
00:19:30.240 Joe Biden was speaking in Phoenix and always has important things to say.
00:19:35.580 It's important to stay, I think, informed about what the President of the United States is talking about.
00:19:39.600 That's a very important thing.
00:19:40.780 It's our civic duty.
00:19:42.500 So, let's check in with Biden.
00:19:45.540 And today, TSMC has announced a second major investment.
00:19:48.700 It will construct a second fab here in Phoenix to build chips, three nano chips, the three nano chip, chips, and the three nano.
00:19:58.220 You know what I'm saying.
00:20:01.460 Nano no-no.
00:20:02.480 I don't know.
00:20:03.040 Oh, okay.
00:20:08.100 Well, thank you, Mr. President.
00:20:09.260 That was, so that's what he's up to.
00:20:12.740 I think we can move on.
00:20:14.360 I also want to mention this.
00:20:15.440 It's that time of the year for Time Magazine to unveil its person of the year.
00:20:19.880 And you can, if you haven't seen the news yet, just take a guess who it is.
00:20:23.600 Who's the person of the year?
00:20:24.720 Who's the corporate media?
00:20:26.160 Who are they going to award person of the year to?
00:20:28.960 You'll never figure it out.
00:20:30.360 Actually, you will.
00:20:31.260 You know, you guessed right immediately.
00:20:33.380 Zelensky, obviously, is their person of the year.
00:20:36.000 Now, of course, the title person of the year is meaningless.
00:20:38.980 Nobody really knows what it means.
00:20:40.240 What does it mean to be person of the year?
00:20:42.060 Is it supposed to be the most important person of the year?
00:20:44.620 The person who has had the greatest impact on the world?
00:20:47.640 If that's the measuring stick, then Zelensky obviously shouldn't be the guy because the
00:20:51.760 conflict in Ukraine has very little impact on the rest of the world.
00:20:55.060 It really doesn't affect anyone else, whether Ukraine is controlled by one corrupt regime
00:20:58.980 or the other.
00:20:59.560 It's just like, for most of us, it just doesn't mean anything.
00:21:03.100 Now, Zelensky has been trying to drag the whole world into a global nuclear conflict,
00:21:07.240 and that would certainly have an impact.
00:21:09.940 So maybe that's what they mean.
00:21:11.140 I don't know.
00:21:11.500 But besides, if this is just a matter of giving the title to whoever has had the most influence
00:21:17.640 or, you know, for good or ill, who's ever had the most influence, whoever's most altered
00:21:23.020 world events or whatever it is, and if that's the case and you're going to select somebody
00:21:28.480 from the Russian-Ukraine war, then shouldn't the guy be actually Putin?
00:21:33.580 I mean, for the person who just has had the most impact, period, that's how they used
00:21:39.860 to decide this, right?
00:21:41.100 It wasn't a title given to who they like the most, but rather just whoever has had the
00:21:45.880 most impact on the world, good or bad.
00:21:51.760 So that's what they would do.
00:21:52.940 But it's not anymore.
00:21:54.540 Here's what it really means.
00:21:55.440 Person of the Year Award is actually an award for the media.
00:21:59.800 That's what it is now.
00:22:01.200 So time is awarding itself.
00:22:03.680 It's awarding the media.
00:22:06.320 And the award actually says, this is the person that we in the media were most interested in
00:22:12.140 this year.
00:22:12.940 This is the person that we made the biggest deal about, the person that we said was the
00:22:16.880 most important, and we're always right.
00:22:18.420 And so really, it's an award to themselves.
00:22:19.840 I mean, they gave it to Greta Thunberg a couple of years ago.
00:22:23.580 They made her the Person of the Year.
00:22:25.520 Perfect example.
00:22:26.720 That's an award to them.
00:22:27.940 She's a media creation.
00:22:32.640 And so they're giving it to her, but really, it's about them.
00:22:35.580 They're giving it to themselves.
00:22:38.160 All right.
00:22:39.140 Here's an actual important story.
00:22:41.800 The Daily Wire has this report.
00:22:44.020 And I can't read the whole thing, but it's worth going to dailywire.com to read this.
00:22:49.680 Kind of a follow-up from Luke Rosiak.
00:22:52.040 It says, a Virginia grand jury investigating a public school district's apparent cover-up of
00:22:55.880 the rape of a girl by a male student in a girl's bathroom, which made headlines after
00:23:00.700 a Daily Wire investigation, blasted school officials for their stunning lack of transparency
00:23:05.260 and intentional amnesia in a much-anticipated report released on Monday.
00:23:09.780 In the fact-finding report, the nine-person Loudoun County panel disclosed for the first
00:23:13.320 time that a teacher's aide walked into the bathroom while the ninth-grade victim was being
00:23:19.520 raped by her male classmate, saw two pairs of feet under a stalled door, but did nothing.
00:23:24.780 The 91-page report called out district officials for a host of lapses.
00:23:29.100 That's one way to put it.
00:23:31.720 That continued long after the initial attack.
00:23:34.740 The report stated, quote,
00:23:35.920 We believe that throughout this ordeal, LCPS administrators were looking out for their
00:23:40.020 own interests instead of the best interests of LCPS.
00:23:43.380 This invariably led to a stunning lack of openness, transparency, and accountability both
00:23:46.960 to the public and a special grand jury.
00:23:49.680 The report also found that the district concealed the nature of the attack even as the district
00:23:54.400 was preparing to impose a controversial new transgender bathroom policy.
00:23:57.700 After the rape, the student was transferred to another school where he was involved in
00:24:01.540 multiple incidents of misbehavior against girls that were known to officials, but until
00:24:05.200 now unknown to the public, the report said.
00:24:07.440 Even the rapist's own grandmother told officials that he was a sociopath, but little was done.
00:24:11.840 The rapist soon committed another sexual assault, this time in a classroom.
00:24:15.420 The grand jury report was released to inform the public of its findings based on subpoenaed
00:24:19.540 documents and testimony.
00:24:21.240 Virginia Attorney General Jason Meares noted in a statement that his office had requested the
00:24:25.860 grand jury and that it has not been disbanded, meaning it could bring criminal charges at
00:24:29.420 a later date.
00:24:32.360 The Daily Wire report that goes into the details of the assault that happened in the bathroom.
00:24:38.180 This is on May 22nd of 2021.
00:24:41.460 A male student wearing a skirt anally raped a ninth grade girl in the girl's bathroom.
00:24:45.700 And we knew, obviously, about the rape because of the Daily Wire's report.
00:24:52.760 We didn't know that a teacher, a faculty member, walked into the bathroom in the middle of it
00:24:59.260 and did nothing.
00:25:02.700 The report reveals that in the days before the bathroom rape, a teacher's assistant wrote
00:25:06.880 to her department chair that the student, quote, this is the rapist, has come into class
00:25:11.940 more than once with his arm around a girl's neck.
00:25:14.140 I've caught him sitting on other girls' laps several times.
00:25:17.060 If this kind of reckless behavior persists, I wouldn't want to be held accountable if
00:25:21.200 somebody should get hurt.
00:25:24.400 So she wrote this note to her department chair and then a few days later, this person committed
00:25:31.180 a rape in one of the bathrooms.
00:25:35.080 School officials seemed more interested in getting the teacher's aide in trouble than the student.
00:25:38.860 The department chair questioned the true motivation of the author, the report said.
00:25:43.800 The department chair mentioned the email to an assistant principal who questioned whether
00:25:47.880 the author of the email had followed proper protocol.
00:25:53.080 And then it goes on to more details about what exactly happened.
00:25:58.360 The victim's father shows up to the school after he finds out what happened.
00:26:03.320 And he obviously is, you know, I don't think words could properly describe a father's feeling
00:26:08.800 after finding out that their daughter had been raped.
00:26:11.000 But he was, you know, to put it lightly, furious.
00:26:15.100 And they're more interested in just like getting him out of there.
00:26:17.940 And he was stonewalled and then infamously eventually arrested at a school board meeting.
00:26:24.200 It says by 3.30 p.m. of that same day, Loudoun's chief operating officer had arrived at the school
00:26:28.900 and sent an email to the superintendent saying, quote,
00:26:32.540 the incident at SBHS is related to policy 8040,
00:26:37.880 the policy that would allow transgender males the right to use the girls' bathroom.
00:26:42.560 Now, as I said, you got to go and read the whole report.
00:26:45.580 I mean, it says, what was the consequence for this?
00:26:49.720 For this, it says on September 9th, 2021, just two weeks into the school year,
00:26:53.280 the rapist grabbed the shoulder of a girl really hard in class,
00:26:57.640 tried to take her computer and asked if she posted nudes online.
00:27:01.160 The superintendent, deputy superintendent, and superintendent chief of staff all learned of this
00:27:04.820 incident and knew it was the same individual who committed the sexual assault at SBHS,
00:27:09.540 despite having a 12-page disciplinary file wearing an ankle monitor being closely monitored
00:27:15.200 by the broad-run principle, knowledge of this incident by the highest administrator in LCPS,
00:27:20.660 and a suggestion by the court services unit that a more serious punishment be given,
00:27:24.660 the rapist was simply asked to write the following,
00:27:28.200 I will not touch others, I will not ask for photos to include intimate or provocative.
00:27:35.520 This was after he committed the rape, was transferred to another school.
00:27:40.520 He's still being aggressive, sexually aggressive with female students.
00:27:45.660 This is all known, his history is known,
00:27:47.720 and after another incident, his punishment is writing that note.
00:27:54.720 And that was it.
00:27:57.000 You know, we heard from the left, after Luke Rosiak's initial expose,
00:28:00.900 that this case had nothing to do with the bathroom policies.
00:28:04.000 They were looking for ways to frantically kind of
00:28:06.200 get around all of this,
00:28:09.840 and one thing that they said is,
00:28:11.260 this has nothing to do with bathroom policies at all,
00:28:13.220 and yet, here we have school officials admitting privately in writing
00:28:18.820 that the two issues are indeed related,
00:28:21.420 because obviously they are.
00:28:24.600 There's a rape in your school by a male student in a female bathroom,
00:28:30.840 and yet you're still pushing through a policy
00:28:33.240 that would open up the female bathrooms
00:28:36.100 to any boy that wants to walk in.
00:28:38.940 Obviously it's related.
00:28:39.860 But it's about more than that.
00:28:41.560 This is a systemic failure fueled by woke insanity,
00:28:46.420 along with cowardice, incompetence, self-preservation, selfishness,
00:28:50.480 all the factors that allow these kinds of things
00:28:52.240 to happen within institutions.
00:28:55.280 In fact, sex abuse in institutions,
00:28:58.180 whether it's the Catholic Church or Hollywood
00:28:59.720 or the public school system,
00:29:01.560 they always follow the same script.
00:29:02.860 You've got some people lower down the ladder
00:29:06.000 who notice the problem,
00:29:07.760 try to bring attention to it,
00:29:09.360 the teacher's aide in this case.
00:29:11.600 They're stonewalled by the bureaucracy.
00:29:14.360 The problem is covered up.
00:29:15.880 Predators are just like transferred from one place to another.
00:29:18.760 They bounce around.
00:29:20.340 It's like this game of hot potato
00:29:21.680 between the various institutions
00:29:24.960 because nobody wants to deal with it.
00:29:26.460 And it's always the same story.
00:29:31.420 We have to eventually deal with the fact
00:29:33.560 that this issue in Loudoun
00:29:35.080 is indeed part of a systemic problem,
00:29:40.320 something that is endemic
00:29:41.720 within the public school system.
00:29:44.080 That's the next step here.
00:29:46.100 As some of us have been shouting about for years,
00:29:48.860 there is a system-wide sex abuse epidemic
00:29:56.040 in the public school system.
00:29:57.800 It has been going on for literally decades.
00:30:01.280 The Department of Education itself
00:30:02.880 acknowledged the problem back in 2004,
00:30:06.700 and nothing has been done about it.
00:30:12.120 So this is just tip of the iceberg stuff.
00:30:16.400 And this kind of thing can only happen
00:30:20.360 in an institution that has
00:30:24.320 this sort of systemic problem.
00:30:30.820 Eventually, we have to deal with that.
00:30:33.140 And you would think that we as a society
00:30:35.560 would be very eager to confront
00:30:39.120 the sex abuse problem in this public school system
00:30:41.060 considering that 50 million kids are in this system.
00:30:44.880 It's like millions of us, not me,
00:30:48.140 but millions of us, millions of Americans
00:30:50.100 send our kids in this system every single day.
00:30:55.860 You think if there's evidence,
00:30:57.600 you think if the Department of Education themselves
00:30:59.380 nearly 20 years ago
00:31:01.880 acknowledged that there is a massive problem
00:31:04.960 of sex abuse in the school system,
00:31:06.820 sex abuse committed by teachers
00:31:08.000 and sex abuse committed by students
00:31:10.300 against other students,
00:31:11.060 you'd think that we would wake up
00:31:15.280 and pay attention.
00:31:17.220 And you have millions of parents saying,
00:31:18.660 my God, my kid is potentially
00:31:21.400 being subjected to this.
00:31:24.560 But instead, we've been looking the other way.
00:31:28.560 All right.
00:31:30.820 Libs of TikTok has this.
00:31:32.200 It's a video giving teachers tips
00:31:35.540 on how to make classrooms more trans-inclusive
00:31:38.880 because that, of course, should be our goal.
00:31:41.440 Let's listen to this.
00:31:43.440 Hi, I'm Jack.
00:31:44.680 My pronouns are they, them,
00:31:46.180 and I identify as trans and non-binary.
00:31:49.120 Here are three things you can do
00:31:51.060 to support trans children in your school.
00:31:53.960 Number one, be a visible trans ally.
00:31:56.820 There are lots of ways to do this,
00:31:58.620 from having trans-inclusive flags in your classroom
00:32:01.200 to having trans-inclusive storybooks
00:32:03.500 on your bookshelves.
00:32:05.060 Number two, stop unnecessarily gendering things
00:32:07.880 in your school.
00:32:09.120 This ranges from easy changes,
00:32:11.500 like not grouping children into boys and girls,
00:32:14.160 to not having gendered uniforms.
00:32:16.720 Consider how excluded trans
00:32:18.540 and especially non-binary children and staff
00:32:21.260 may feel about gendered spaces and policies.
00:32:24.880 And number three, teach children about pronouns,
00:32:27.960 what they are, how we use them,
00:32:29.660 and why they're important.
00:32:31.460 This allows trans people
00:32:32.940 to not be singled out for their pronouns
00:32:34.940 and instead makes pronouns part of the norm.
00:32:40.680 You know, we can make all the usual points here
00:32:42.860 that this is not what schools are supposed to do,
00:32:45.400 this is not what the classroom is for,
00:32:46.940 this is not education,
00:32:48.060 this is a form of religious indoctrination.
00:32:50.380 To promote transgenderism in the class
00:32:52.180 is a violation of the separation of church and state
00:32:55.660 that we always hear about.
00:32:57.800 It's a violation of many other things as well,
00:32:59.800 but it is also religious indoctrination.
00:33:06.440 But rather than dwelling on those points this time,
00:33:08.500 I want to make a different observation.
00:33:11.340 Because there's one thing he said that jumped out at me,
00:33:13.540 maybe slightly subtle.
00:33:14.820 I don't know if you picked up on it.
00:33:16.520 Amid all the usual insanity,
00:33:19.280 he said, especially non-binary kids, especially.
00:33:22.940 So he's talking about the challenges
00:33:24.700 faced by, quote, trans and non-binary kids,
00:33:27.900 even though there are no such thing
00:33:29.080 as trans and non-binary kids,
00:33:31.080 or adults for that matter.
00:33:32.540 But he's discussing the challenges or whatever,
00:33:34.880 and he says, especially non-binary.
00:33:38.940 And that's because there's a shift happening.
00:33:43.260 We should take note of this.
00:33:44.600 There is a shift happening
00:33:45.780 at the top of the victim pyramid.
00:33:48.700 And we've talked about the victim pyramid
00:33:50.680 many times on this show.
00:33:52.220 This is the victim hierarchy.
00:33:54.060 There is a hierarchy of victimhood on the left.
00:33:57.220 And there's this perpetual jostling
00:33:59.760 and the war at the top.
00:34:01.400 Like, who's the uber victim?
00:34:04.540 What group can claim status
00:34:07.120 as the uber super victims?
00:34:11.060 And if you're at the top of the victim hierarchy,
00:34:15.840 it means that it's kind of almost an inverted hierarchy,
00:34:18.240 because it means that you cannot be guilty
00:34:20.720 of victimizing anyone else,
00:34:22.180 but everyone is always victimizing you.
00:34:25.140 And victimhood is power,
00:34:26.140 so it means that you have power.
00:34:27.020 It's a very inverted, upside-down,
00:34:28.960 sort of topsy-turvy system,
00:34:31.200 but that's the system.
00:34:32.320 So there's this, but right now,
00:34:33.600 there's this shift happening
00:34:36.720 where non-binary is slowly replacing trans
00:34:41.860 as the most favored, most protected,
00:34:45.000 most cherished group.
00:34:47.040 In fact, here's a prediction for you.
00:34:48.400 I think that trans as a category
00:34:50.500 will fade away,
00:34:52.780 like the category of lesbian
00:34:54.220 has all but disappeared,
00:34:55.460 because lesbian's been subsumed by trans.
00:34:59.460 And the same thing's gonna happen with trans.
00:35:01.580 I think trans gets subsumed by non-binary.
00:35:03.820 Eventually, it all is simply non-binary.
00:35:07.660 Now, in effect, it's the same thing.
00:35:09.200 It's the same brand of insanity.
00:35:10.680 There's no real difference.
00:35:11.820 They're both made up.
00:35:12.700 They're both making essentially
00:35:14.120 the same false claim.
00:35:15.940 But the advantage of non-binary
00:35:17.460 is that it's even more vague.
00:35:20.220 It's even more undefinable.
00:35:21.940 It's even more subjective than trans.
00:35:26.800 So trans still ties itself, for one thing,
00:35:29.380 to the very gender binary
00:35:30.760 that it's supposedly trying to dismantle.
00:35:34.480 Non-binary is meant to be
00:35:35.980 apart from that entirely.
00:35:38.400 And the great thing for non-binary
00:35:39.700 is that there are no expectations
00:35:41.420 attached to it.
00:35:42.200 There's no definitions.
00:35:43.380 There's just like nothing at all.
00:35:46.200 It means even less than trans.
00:35:50.140 And trans, when you get down to it,
00:35:51.820 really doesn't mean anything either,
00:35:52.960 of course.
00:35:53.400 But non-binary is even more undefinable,
00:35:56.540 even more absurd and vague.
00:36:01.260 And it can just be
00:36:02.860 whatever you want it to be,
00:36:03.780 which makes it more useful to the left.
00:36:05.800 It's a more useful category.
00:36:09.560 The more vague, the more undefinable,
00:36:11.880 the more ambiguous the category is,
00:36:15.000 the more useful it is to them.
00:36:17.820 So more and more,
00:36:18.780 that's what we're going to start to see.
00:36:20.680 It's like trans, trans becomes passe,
00:36:23.080 it becomes old-fashioned,
00:36:24.540 and the new thing is to be non-binary.
00:36:28.860 All right, what else have we got?
00:36:31.580 Before we get to the comment section,
00:36:32.800 OK, there's one other,
00:36:35.260 another one from Lives with TikTok.
00:36:37.180 Well, not from her,
00:36:38.020 but reposted by her,
00:36:39.700 to be clear.
00:36:41.260 And I wanted to play this too,
00:36:42.440 because there's another important point.
00:36:44.360 So here's a TikToker explaining
00:36:46.340 what you need to do
00:36:48.700 if you want to invite
00:36:50.000 your white friend to hang out.
00:36:51.900 So this is really for,
00:36:52.800 if you're non-white,
00:36:53.960 and you want to bring your white friend
00:36:55.020 along for a hangout session,
00:36:57.140 there's a process that needs to be followed.
00:36:59.420 And let's listen to that.
00:37:00.540 Controversial opinion,
00:37:02.820 but if you have a token white,
00:37:05.000 and you're hanging out
00:37:06.100 with your friend group of color,
00:37:08.540 you need to ask permission
00:37:10.620 from everybody in the group
00:37:12.520 to bring your white friend.
00:37:14.040 Like, don't just bring them.
00:37:15.800 Ask for explicit permission from everyone.
00:37:18.240 Because just because you're comfortable with them
00:37:20.140 doesn't mean that everybody's comfortable with them.
00:37:22.400 I might not be in the mood
00:37:23.300 to deal with white shenanigans that day.
00:37:25.160 That's all I'm saying.
00:37:26.280 And another thing,
00:37:27.060 it feeds into their ego.
00:37:28.180 Like, don't let them think
00:37:29.840 they're a good white person.
00:37:31.340 Don't give them that card
00:37:32.740 to use against other people.
00:37:34.380 Please don't do that.
00:37:36.400 To me, this doesn't go nearly far enough.
00:37:38.740 And the real problem
00:37:39.520 is that it puts the onus
00:37:40.820 on a member of the BIPOC community
00:37:42.920 to seek permission
00:37:43.820 on behalf of the white friend,
00:37:45.960 which I think is unacceptable.
00:37:47.800 Like, what needs to happen
00:37:48.900 is the white friend
00:37:50.260 who wishes to accompany
00:37:51.320 a POC friend to a POC gathering
00:37:53.600 must himself or herself
00:37:55.940 or herself submit
00:37:57.200 a written request form
00:37:59.420 no less than 14 days before the gathering.
00:38:02.160 This request should be signed.
00:38:03.680 It should be notarized.
00:38:05.220 It should include
00:38:05.800 three professional references
00:38:06.920 and two personal references.
00:38:08.720 Of course, you know,
00:38:09.600 let's say $135 processing fee as well.
00:38:12.320 That's the bare minimum.
00:38:14.360 There should also be an essay
00:38:15.360 explaining how you are an ally
00:38:17.620 and why you're safe
00:38:19.140 and, you know,
00:38:20.120 how it is that you pose no threat
00:38:21.420 to the POC members
00:38:22.480 of the engagement
00:38:23.080 that you're attending.
00:38:25.420 That's what needs to happen.
00:38:27.220 But keep in mind
00:38:27.740 that claiming you're an ally
00:38:29.620 and that you're safe
00:38:30.880 is itself racist
00:38:32.040 as it denies the reality
00:38:33.520 of inherent white racism
00:38:34.740 and it shows
00:38:35.520 that you haven't really done the work.
00:38:37.740 Of course, if you don't say
00:38:39.060 that you're an ally
00:38:39.820 and that you're safe,
00:38:41.040 then it must also be assumed
00:38:42.240 that you're neither of those things.
00:38:44.920 So you're racist either way.
00:38:46.220 Just remember that.
00:38:46.980 And remember too
00:38:47.380 that it's necessary for you
00:38:48.560 to seek permission
00:38:49.400 yet also
00:38:51.100 seeking permission is racist
00:38:52.740 because it centers you
00:38:53.900 as the white person.
00:38:57.100 It may be best to just,
00:38:58.060 I guess, stay at home
00:38:58.860 and try not to hang out,
00:39:00.240 you know,
00:39:00.360 don't try to hang out
00:39:01.120 with any POC individuals
00:39:03.100 in the first place.
00:39:04.100 Then again,
00:39:05.800 staying home
00:39:06.560 and refusing to congregate
00:39:07.920 with non-white people
00:39:08.880 is segregation
00:39:09.600 and otherization
00:39:11.060 and marginalization
00:39:12.940 and that's also racist.
00:39:15.060 So to review,
00:39:16.560 seek permission
00:39:17.220 or else you're racist.
00:39:19.400 But don't seek permission
00:39:20.680 because that's racist.
00:39:22.020 Declare yourself non-racist
00:39:23.360 or else you're racist
00:39:24.060 but also you're racist
00:39:25.080 if you claim to be not racist.
00:39:27.440 Try to be an ally
00:39:28.840 or else you're not an ally
00:39:30.380 and thus you're racist
00:39:31.160 but also trying to be an ally
00:39:32.960 is racist.
00:39:34.640 I hope this clarifies
00:39:36.140 the situation for everybody.
00:39:39.060 I think the real conclusion here
00:39:40.380 is just to not give
00:39:41.680 the slightest damn
00:39:42.560 if anyone calls you racist.
00:39:45.020 That's actually the only way out
00:39:47.380 that they've given us.
00:39:48.280 That's the only possible door
00:39:50.180 to take
00:39:51.240 and so we should gladly say,
00:39:53.060 well, I'll take that option then.
00:39:54.720 Fine with me.
00:39:56.600 All right, let's get to
00:39:57.400 the comment section.
00:39:58.140 Who makes a Twitter mob
00:40:00.060 fly off the handle with rage?
00:40:04.420 Who's to blame?
00:40:07.300 It's a sweet baby gang.
00:40:11.460 If you're listening to this show,
00:40:13.100 odds are that you put a lot of stock
00:40:14.620 in how you raise your kids.
00:40:15.760 You understand that your children
00:40:16.820 look to you to define their values
00:40:18.720 and their perspectives of the world.
00:40:19.920 That's why it's extremely important
00:40:20.940 that you have a will in place.
00:40:23.100 A will also determines
00:40:23.960 how your financial assets
00:40:25.120 are dispersed
00:40:25.860 as well as your personal property
00:40:27.360 as well.
00:40:28.160 It lays out your healthcare
00:40:29.280 power of attorney
00:40:29.860 to ensure that your end-of-life
00:40:31.080 decisions are carried out.
00:40:32.640 So if you're just starting out,
00:40:34.080 you don't have thousands of dollars
00:40:35.080 to spend on an attorney,
00:40:36.260 but you want to make sure
00:40:37.760 that your savings,
00:40:38.560 your belongings,
00:40:39.160 and your family
00:40:39.600 are all protected,

00:41:01.520 Miguel says,
00:41:02.100 As I was a part of a popular cover band
00:41:03.740 in my native country of Jamaica,
00:41:05.500 no one or no law
00:41:06.760 could make us perform
00:41:07.600 at a gay wedding.
00:41:08.460 There are certain questions
00:41:09.360 we would ask
00:41:09.920 before we accept a gig,
00:41:11.020 namely,
00:41:11.740 what type of event,
00:41:12.600 who will be at the event,
00:41:13.380 and so on.
00:41:13.860 If we found out it's a gay wedding,
00:41:15.140 as we did once,
00:41:16.040 we would just decline.
00:41:17.520 Case closed.
00:41:18.580 We have nothing against gay people,
00:41:20.020 as I'm sure we've performed
00:41:20.820 at many venues
00:41:21.480 where gay people were in attendance.
00:41:22.820 A gay event
00:41:23.380 and a general event
00:41:24.180 where gays are in attendance
00:41:24.980 are two totally different things.
00:41:27.500 Y equals MX plus C.
00:41:29.220 It's simple.
00:41:31.220 Well, Miguel,
00:41:32.120 you confused me
00:41:33.420 with the math equation
00:41:34.100 at the end.
00:41:34.580 I was with you the whole way.
00:41:35.960 I was saying amen
00:41:36.660 and then I'm confused.
00:41:39.440 But I'm with you
00:41:40.260 and all the rest of it.
00:41:41.860 Aaron Bell says,
00:41:42.760 The wedding photographer
00:41:43.420 for my husband's
00:41:44.460 and my wedding
00:41:45.560 retired early
00:41:46.700 because he knew
00:41:47.620 he might end up
00:41:48.800 being asked to do a gay wedding.
00:41:49.980 He knew if he refused
00:41:50.700 he would be screwed.
00:41:52.080 There are a lot of cases like this.
00:41:53.140 I've heard very similar situations.
00:41:55.260 People not getting
00:41:56.060 into the wedding business
00:41:56.800 to begin with
00:41:57.560 or getting out of it.
00:41:59.580 I know of,
00:42:00.580 you know,
00:42:00.780 personally,
00:42:01.480 someone who owned
00:42:02.280 a venue
00:42:04.020 that had been used
00:42:04.600 for weddings
00:42:05.060 got out of the business
00:42:05.960 for exactly this reason.
00:42:10.900 And of course,
00:42:11.560 the left hears that
00:42:12.320 and they think,
00:42:12.980 you know,
00:42:13.380 they're rubbing
00:42:14.520 their hands together
00:42:15.120 and say,
00:42:15.540 yeah,
00:42:15.660 our plan is working.
00:42:16.560 Good.
00:42:17.480 This is part of the point.
00:42:21.840 Goat says,
00:42:22.820 I'm white
00:42:23.400 and I'm proud of it.
00:42:25.220 No, no,
00:42:25.440 that's racist.
00:42:26.160 Don't you realize
00:42:26.620 you can be proud
00:42:27.640 of being black
00:42:28.800 or Asian
00:42:29.300 or Hispanic
00:42:30.000 or gay.
00:42:30.340 You can be proud
00:42:30.740 of any race
00:42:31.400 other than white.
00:42:32.360 Just as you can be proud
00:42:32.960 of any sexuality
00:42:33.640 other than being straight.
00:42:35.320 Then you know that
00:42:35.920 those are the rules.
00:42:37.840 How can the rules
00:42:38.460 be justified
00:42:39.120 or defended?
00:42:40.340 I mean,
00:42:40.600 they can't,
00:42:40.980 obviously.
00:42:45.120 Tim says,
00:42:45.720 the Civil Rights Act
00:42:46.460 needs to be repealed
00:42:47.400 since it wasn't clear
00:42:48.520 to the courts
00:42:49.140 that it was addressed
00:42:49.820 to the public sector,
00:42:50.640 not the private sector.
00:42:51.740 It's been used increasingly
00:42:52.980 and illegally
00:42:53.620 against the private sector
00:42:54.720 since its inception.
00:42:55.500 If a business
00:42:56.100 doesn't want to serve
00:42:57.560 whatever minority
00:42:58.300 or whatever group,
00:42:59.480 they don't have to
00:43:00.400 and they have the right
00:43:01.060 to announce it.
00:43:03.060 Well,
00:43:03.480 it was meant to be addressed
00:43:04.400 to the private sector.
00:43:07.140 That's the whole point.
00:43:08.280 But I agree
00:43:10.140 that businesses
00:43:10.640 should have the right
00:43:11.420 to serve who they want.
00:43:12.780 That's it.
00:43:13.700 That's all.
00:43:14.260 As we've been talking about
00:43:16.620 for the last few days.
00:43:18.380 Just give businesses
00:43:19.340 the right.
00:43:19.980 That's the easiest
00:43:21.340 solution here.
00:43:23.180 There are other solutions.
00:43:24.960 There are other ways
00:43:25.880 of kind of splitting
00:43:27.280 the hairs here
00:43:28.000 so that you are
00:43:29.140 protecting
00:43:29.680 the religious liberty
00:43:32.940 of photographers
00:43:33.980 and bakers
00:43:34.680 and all the rest of it.
00:43:39.040 You know,
00:43:39.680 you can parse
00:43:40.800 these kinds of cases,
00:43:42.020 but the simplest
00:43:43.460 and easiest
00:43:44.100 and most sensible thing
00:43:45.400 is just to say,
00:43:46.500 you know,
00:43:48.000 serve whoever you want.
00:43:49.020 Don't serve whoever you want.
00:43:50.320 The market will respond.
00:43:53.500 And if you make a decision
00:43:54.800 in that regard
00:43:55.640 where you decide
00:43:57.900 I'm going to exclude
00:43:58.840 certain races
00:43:59.660 from my restaurant
00:44:00.800 or whatever,
00:44:01.320 if anybody would do that,
00:44:02.480 that would be suicidal
00:44:03.340 to their business
00:44:04.260 and they'd go out
00:44:05.100 of business
00:44:05.520 and that's it.
00:44:07.560 They just announce
00:44:08.120 themselves
00:44:08.560 and then they go
00:44:08.960 out of business.
00:44:10.220 All right.
00:44:10.460 Margo says,
00:44:13.260 I can tell that Matt
00:44:14.020 has experienced
00:44:14.640 a narcissist up close
00:44:15.920 and personal
00:44:16.440 for a duration
00:44:17.120 because he knows
00:44:17.680 exactly how narcissists
00:44:18.720 are.
00:44:19.260 Spot on description.
00:44:20.660 I actually haven't.
00:44:21.660 I just live in a culture
00:44:22.920 dominated by them.
00:44:24.040 That's all that I've
00:44:24.740 noticed.
00:44:26.820 BV says,
00:44:27.380 after that Blackpink analysis,
00:44:28.880 I want Matt
00:44:29.320 as my English teacher ASAP.
00:44:31.400 Grant says,
00:44:32.180 only Matt could actually
00:44:33.000 make Blackpink lyrics
00:44:34.080 sound like actual wisdom.
00:44:36.240 DJM,
00:44:36.780 beautiful interpretation
00:44:37.840 of the Blackpink lyric.
00:44:39.320 I'm in tears.
00:44:40.200 Thank you, Matt.
00:44:41.300 Many, many comments like this
00:44:42.740 and I appreciate everyone's,
00:44:44.040 you know,
00:44:44.300 I wasn't sure
00:44:44.940 if the audience,
00:44:47.340 if there really was
00:44:48.080 any desire in the audience
00:44:49.420 to hear my in-depth analysis
00:44:51.900 of K-pop songs,
00:44:54.720 but it was something
00:44:55.780 that came from the heart,
00:44:56.580 you know,
00:44:57.140 and I felt compelled
00:44:58.340 to talk about it
00:44:59.100 and I'm very relieved
00:45:00.120 to find out
00:45:00.640 that it resonated
00:45:01.780 with so many people.
00:45:03.480 Finally,
00:45:03.760 Vicky says,
00:45:04.320 Matt,
00:45:04.500 I saw on your wife's Twitter
00:45:05.460 that Ben Shapiro
00:45:06.280 is expecting another baby.
00:45:07.680 Do you think
00:45:08.000 he'll catch up to you?
00:45:09.200 Yeah,
00:45:09.340 apparently Ben announced
00:45:10.120 that on an all access,
00:45:11.900 so I don't think
00:45:12.400 I'm stealing his thunder here.
00:45:13.620 It's already on Twitter.
00:45:14.980 They are expecting
00:45:15.580 their fourth.
00:45:16.200 Will he catch up to me?
00:45:17.200 Well,
00:45:17.320 we've done the two-for-one
00:45:19.240 special twice now,
00:45:20.400 so we're reproducing
00:45:21.600 much more efficiently.
00:45:24.700 He's going to have
00:45:25.260 to start doubling up,
00:45:26.100 I think,
00:45:26.340 if he wants to beat me
00:45:27.200 in the race.
00:45:28.700 But honestly,
00:45:29.320 let's not discount
00:45:29.940 there's a dark horse
00:45:30.780 in the race here,
00:45:31.380 which is in the Daily Wire
00:45:32.780 repopulation contest.
00:45:34.200 There's also Michael Knowles,
00:45:36.060 you know,
00:45:36.320 because they had a kid
00:45:38.260 and then somehow,
00:45:39.080 like a month and a half later,
00:45:40.080 they had another kid,
00:45:40.880 so they're going
00:45:41.780 at a pretty good clip.
00:45:43.520 I still feel like
00:45:44.420 we're safe, though,
00:45:45.020 with six.
00:45:46.880 Look at it this way.
00:45:47.820 Between me, Ben,
00:45:48.740 and Michael,
00:45:49.140 that's 12 kids so far.
00:45:51.180 So I think between
00:45:52.220 the three of us,
00:45:53.620 we have more children
00:45:55.840 than the entire rest
00:45:57.700 of the media combined,
00:45:59.460 most likely.
00:46:02.100 This is how serious
00:46:03.020 we are about
00:46:03.680 reversing the population trends.
00:46:07.400 It's also how serious
00:46:08.340 we are about driving
00:46:09.260 Daily Wire memberships,
00:46:10.720 because we will literally
00:46:12.000 conceive new Daily Wire members
00:46:14.120 if that's what it takes.
00:46:15.620 It's hard to believe
00:46:17.240 that the holidays
00:46:17.920 are already here.
00:46:18.940 Now, I know a lot of you

00:46:45.180 Since joining Daily Wire Plus,
00:46:46.420 Jordan Peterson
00:46:46.920 has been on fire
00:46:48.340 with tons of content.
00:46:49.380 Most recently,
00:46:49.920 Jordan went with our
00:46:50.760 production team
00:46:51.400 to Washington, D.C.,
00:46:52.600 filmed a fantastic documentary
00:46:54.060 on the Museum of the Bible
00:46:55.320 called Logos and Literacy.
00:46:56.900 In it, Jordan meets
00:46:58.000 with historians,
00:46:58.900 theologians,
00:46:59.420 and philosophers
00:46:59.900 to discuss the history
00:47:00.900 of the Bible
00:47:01.360 and its influence
00:47:02.340 on the world.
00:47:03.340 It's as beautiful
00:47:03.940 as it is engaging.
00:47:05.560 Jordan even sent us
00:47:06.340 a note to say
00:47:06.880 how happy he was
00:47:07.680 with the way it turned out.
00:47:08.320 He watched it twice
00:47:09.040 as much he liked it.
00:47:09.760 So remember,

00:47:24.980 Now let's get
00:47:25.400 to our daily cancellation.
00:47:30.560 Now I wasn't following
00:47:31.880 the controversy this week
00:47:33.500 or rather last week
00:47:34.640 very close
00:47:35.020 because there are only
00:47:35.460 so many controversies
00:47:36.220 you can follow
00:47:36.760 at any given moment.
00:47:37.640 For those who were
00:47:38.660 out of this particular loop
00:47:40.280 as well,
00:47:40.740 it turns out
00:47:41.180 that the elderly owner
00:47:42.220 of the Dallas Cowboys,
00:47:43.160 Jerry Jones,
00:47:44.260 was in the vicinity
00:47:45.580 of a racist occurrence
00:47:47.020 65 years ago
00:47:48.960 when he was 14.
00:47:50.140 The picture surfaced
00:47:50.900 of Jones,
00:47:51.540 who's now,
00:47:52.400 I think about 80 years old,
00:47:53.860 standing in a large crowd
00:47:55.600 outside of North Little Rock
00:47:56.920 High School
00:47:57.440 while a group
00:47:58.520 of white students
00:47:59.200 attempted to block
00:47:59.880 a group of black students
00:48:00.780 from entering the building.
00:48:02.620 This was, again,
00:48:03.360 over half a century ago.
00:48:05.580 There is no evidence
00:48:06.320 that Jones himself
00:48:07.300 was trying to prevent
00:48:08.480 the desegregation
00:48:09.240 of his school.
00:48:10.020 He was merely
00:48:10.440 in the area
00:48:11.420 where such efforts
00:48:12.800 were happening.
00:48:14.860 And he was, like,
00:48:15.960 looking on curiously.
00:48:18.140 Even if a 14-year-old
00:48:20.260 Jerry Jones
00:48:21.000 65 years ago
00:48:22.500 actually was opposed
00:48:25.140 to desegregation,
00:48:26.340 even if he did participate
00:48:27.380 in the human blockade
00:48:28.540 to prevent it,
00:48:29.680 that would still have
00:48:30.420 no bearing on today.
00:48:33.240 When he was,
00:48:34.500 if it's 65 years ago
00:48:36.160 when he's 14,
00:48:37.220 it would be completely absurd
00:48:38.860 to try and hold
00:48:39.520 an old man accountable
00:48:40.680 for failing to have
00:48:41.920 racially enlightened views
00:48:43.200 as an adolescent
00:48:44.120 in the 1950s.
00:48:46.640 The whole controversy
00:48:47.660 is ludicrous,
00:48:48.360 and yet it raged on
00:48:49.300 with the media
00:48:49.800 trying to make something
00:48:51.400 out of a non-scandal.
00:48:53.520 Though it was never
00:48:54.300 precisely clear
00:48:55.740 what they wanted
00:48:56.660 to make out of it exactly.
00:48:58.100 What is Jerry Jones
00:48:58.900 supposed to do
00:48:59.680 about the picture?
00:49:00.680 Retire in disgrace
00:49:01.680 because there were
00:49:02.980 racist people
00:49:03.680 in his high school
00:49:04.240 in 1957?
00:49:06.000 Should he go up
00:49:06.700 to Canada
00:49:07.120 and have himself
00:49:07.660 euthanized?
00:49:09.440 Now, I'm sure
00:49:09.840 the race-baiting
00:49:10.520 rage mob
00:49:11.040 would greatly appreciate
00:49:12.060 either of those gestures,
00:49:13.120 especially the second one,
00:49:14.420 but it won't accomplish
00:49:16.200 much for that to happen
00:49:17.640 except to provide
00:49:18.260 more sick satisfaction
00:49:19.360 to sadists
00:49:20.380 with a fetish
00:49:21.080 for humiliating
00:49:21.900 random people
00:49:22.600 for no apparent reason.
00:49:24.260 It was at least
00:49:24.860 an opportunity
00:49:25.300 for the usual suspects
00:49:26.460 to get up
00:49:27.120 on their soapboxes.
00:49:28.680 LeBron James
00:49:29.320 found a way,
00:49:30.080 as he always does,
00:49:31.100 to make himself
00:49:32.760 the story here,
00:49:33.860 to make himself
00:49:34.400 actually the victim.
00:49:35.240 He expressed
00:49:36.240 deep hurt
00:49:36.940 and offense
00:49:37.600 that the sports reporters
00:49:38.760 at a post-game
00:49:39.680 press conference
00:49:40.740 last week
00:49:41.320 hadn't asked him
00:49:42.640 about this,
00:49:43.960 hadn't given him
00:49:44.500 the chance
00:49:45.080 to opine
00:49:46.060 on this subject.
00:49:47.160 Here's what he said.
00:49:47.780 I was wondering
00:49:49.980 why I haven't gotten
00:49:51.440 a question from you guys
00:49:52.460 about the Jerry Jones photo.
00:49:55.000 But when the Kyrie thing
00:49:56.080 was going on,
00:49:56.940 you guys were quick
00:49:57.520 to ask us questions
00:49:58.340 about that.
00:49:59.880 Okay.
00:50:00.700 Hold on,
00:50:01.260 hold on,
00:50:01.580 hold on,
00:50:02.000 hold on,
00:50:02.420 hold on.
00:50:03.260 And I don't even want
00:50:03.960 you guys to say nothing.
00:50:06.480 When I watch Kyrie talk
00:50:08.140 and he says,
00:50:09.220 I know who I am,
00:50:11.280 but I want to keep
00:50:12.400 the same energy
00:50:13.360 when we're talking
00:50:15.800 about my people
00:50:16.780 and the things
00:50:17.420 that we've been through.
00:50:20.440 And that Jerry Jones photo
00:50:23.220 is one of those moments
00:50:25.340 that our people,
00:50:28.680 black people,
00:50:29.720 have been through
00:50:30.400 in America.
00:50:30.920 and I feel like
00:50:33.820 as a black man,
00:50:37.140 as a black athlete,
00:50:38.080 as someone with power
00:50:40.220 and a platform,
00:50:42.380 when we do something wrong
00:50:45.020 or something that people
00:50:47.120 don't agree with,
00:50:48.980 it's on every single tabloid,
00:50:53.140 every single news coverage,
00:50:54.960 it's on the bottom ticker,
00:50:56.380 it's asked about
00:50:57.000 every single day.
00:50:59.440 But it seems like to me
00:51:00.680 that the whole Jerry Jones
00:51:01.860 situation photo,
00:51:04.060 and I know it was
00:51:04.740 years and years ago
00:51:05.520 and we all make mistakes,
00:51:06.540 I get it.
00:51:07.900 But it seemed like
00:51:08.600 it's just been buried under
00:51:09.520 like,
00:51:10.400 oh, it happened,
00:51:11.220 okay, we just move on.
00:51:14.140 And I was just kind of
00:51:14.960 disappointed that I haven't
00:51:15.880 received that question
00:51:16.620 from you guys.
00:51:20.200 Appreciate it.
00:51:24.780 Just for the record,
00:51:26.520 by the way,
00:51:27.000 LeBron,
00:51:27.460 he immediately threw
00:51:30.920 Kyrie Irving
00:51:31.600 under the bus
00:51:32.860 and condemned him
00:51:34.020 for harming people.
00:51:36.480 So, you know,
00:51:37.160 this is what a fraud
00:51:38.520 this guy is.
00:51:40.640 But now he wants to be asked
00:51:42.080 non-basketball questions.
00:51:45.100 But he wants to pick
00:51:46.180 which questions he's asked.
00:51:48.240 Because the thing with Kyrie Irving
00:51:49.180 is like,
00:51:49.900 he's a basketball player,
00:51:52.500 he's played with LeBron,
00:51:54.420 so it kind of makes sense
00:51:55.720 for him to be asked about it.
00:51:57.460 Jerry Jones is the owner
00:51:59.040 of the Dallas Cowboys,
00:51:59.860 which is an entirely
00:52:00.340 different sport.
00:52:01.940 But as Clay Travis
00:52:02.600 pointed out last week,
00:52:03.480 you never see him,
00:52:04.120 you know,
00:52:04.480 complaining that he isn't
00:52:05.540 asked enough questions
00:52:06.520 about, I don't know,
00:52:07.520 China's human rights violations.
00:52:10.200 No, he only wants
00:52:10.800 the easy questions.
00:52:11.440 He wants the ones
00:52:12.100 that tee him up
00:52:12.880 to deliver a little
00:52:13.640 pre-planned speech.
00:52:15.920 Or else he wants you
00:52:16.740 to ask him about the books
00:52:17.860 that he's pretending to read.
00:52:18.780 That's the other subject
00:52:19.400 he loves to talk about.
00:52:20.200 Speaking of usual suspects,
00:52:21.940 Jameel Hill took to the pages
00:52:23.220 of The Atlantic
00:52:23.840 to search for the deeper
00:52:25.280 significance of the
00:52:26.120 Jerry Jones story.
00:52:27.240 This is what she said.
00:52:28.140 If you're wondering why
00:52:28.920 in professional football
00:52:29.860 so few black coaches
00:52:31.360 get hired and black players
00:52:32.620 struggle to be heard,
00:52:34.180 you can learn a lot
00:52:34.960 from a 65-year-old image
00:52:36.020 of Jerry Jones.
00:52:36.700 In a 1957 photo
00:52:37.680 published late last month
00:52:39.000 by the Washington Post,
00:52:39.720 the future owner
00:52:40.660 of the Dallas Cowboys,
00:52:41.280 then 14,
00:52:42.060 stood among a group
00:52:42.700 of white teenagers
00:52:43.420 who were blocking
00:52:44.000 six black students
00:52:44.800 from desegregating
00:52:45.660 his Arkansas high school.
00:52:47.700 In an interview with the Post,
00:52:48.600 Jones minimized his role
00:52:49.580 in the event
00:52:50.000 quote,
00:52:50.740 I don't know
00:52:51.340 that I or anybody
00:52:52.600 who anticipated
00:52:53.060 or had a background
00:52:54.440 of knowing what was involved.
00:52:56.160 It was more a curious thing,
00:52:57.600 Jones told the newspaper,
00:52:59.760 which has published
00:53:00.380 a series of stories
00:53:01.120 about the NFL's failures
00:53:01.940 to promote black coaches
00:53:02.820 over the course of decades.
00:53:04.440 Jones was a sophomore
00:53:05.140 at North Little Rock High
00:53:06.620 when the photo was taken.
00:53:07.780 You could argue
00:53:08.460 that Jones was only a kid,
00:53:10.160 but as an adult,
00:53:10.840 he hasn't adequately reflected
00:53:12.260 on what his presence
00:53:13.140 in a crowd of hostile white teens
00:53:14.860 would have meant
00:53:15.380 to black students,
00:53:16.380 and he hasn't fundamentally
00:53:17.160 disavowed the narrow,
00:53:18.580 bigoted attitudes
00:53:19.220 that once surrounded him
00:53:20.500 and are still a force
00:53:21.320 in football today.
00:53:23.340 Yes, Jones's reflections
00:53:24.800 are not adequate
00:53:25.820 by Jamil's standards.
00:53:27.740 The woman who has never engaged
00:53:29.280 in anything resembling
00:53:30.440 introspection
00:53:31.160 or self-criticism
00:53:31.940 is here to tell
00:53:33.100 the rest of us
00:53:33.860 what adequate introspection
00:53:35.620 and self-criticism
00:53:36.880 looks like.
00:53:38.160 She also claims
00:53:38.740 that racism
00:53:39.180 is still a force
00:53:40.240 in football today,
00:53:41.420 which is like saying
00:53:42.180 that, I don't know,
00:53:42.720 diet culture
00:53:43.480 is a force
00:53:44.060 at Golden Corral.
00:53:45.580 If there's any racism
00:53:46.700 in the NFL,
00:53:47.380 it would have to go
00:53:47.940 the other way,
00:53:48.480 seeing as how the NFL
00:53:49.580 disproportionately hires
00:53:50.740 black people
00:53:51.340 and turns them
00:53:51.800 into famous millionaires.
00:53:52.880 That's what the NFL does.
00:53:55.000 This, of course,
00:53:55.680 isn't really about racism
00:53:56.720 in the NFL.
00:53:57.180 It's about the race baiters
00:53:58.660 desperately clinging on
00:53:59.940 to past sins,
00:54:01.500 past grievances,
00:54:02.620 past injustices,
00:54:04.480 even and especially
00:54:05.560 the ones
00:54:06.140 that they were not around for.
00:54:08.840 Nothing is allowed
00:54:09.780 to change.
00:54:10.960 No individual
00:54:11.800 is allowed to change.
00:54:13.040 The past is never
00:54:14.380 in the past.
00:54:15.360 There is no past.
00:54:16.240 There is only
00:54:16.600 an eternal present
00:54:17.720 and all that ever happened
00:54:19.120 is somehow still happening
00:54:20.740 and will never stop happening.
00:54:23.380 Time is a flat circle.
00:54:25.480 There is no forgiveness
00:54:26.640 in their worldview.
00:54:27.580 There's no redemption.
00:54:29.540 They claim to be working
00:54:30.380 for improvement
00:54:31.020 and progress in society,
00:54:32.380 but their ideology
00:54:33.080 precludes that.
00:54:34.260 Nothing gets better.
00:54:35.940 Nobody grows or learns.
00:54:37.380 Every wound remains fresh
00:54:38.840 and bleeding forever
00:54:39.860 because that's what they want.
00:54:43.040 This is essentially
00:54:44.160 the argument for reparations,
00:54:45.460 which the state of California,
00:54:46.360 by the way,
00:54:46.600 is working towards implementing.
00:54:48.500 Their reparations task force,
00:54:50.100 assembled by Gavin Newsom,
00:54:51.380 is now kicking around figures
00:54:52.500 as high as a quarter
00:54:53.360 of a million dollars
00:54:54.400 for each black resident.
00:54:56.600 But how can this
00:54:57.400 even be accomplished?
00:54:58.540 If the idea is
00:54:59.560 to pay reparations
00:55:00.440 to the descendants
00:55:01.040 of slaves,
00:55:02.380 will they conduct
00:55:03.580 genealogy tests
00:55:04.480 ahead of time
00:55:04.960 to distinguish from,
00:55:06.100 you know,
00:55:06.560 the descendants
00:55:08.320 of African slaves
00:55:09.480 and the descendants
00:55:10.520 of African slave traders
00:55:12.040 and slave owners,
00:55:13.140 of which there were many?
00:55:14.840 Are we going to distinguish
00:55:15.640 between those two?
00:55:17.000 What about black people
00:55:17.760 whose families came
00:55:18.480 to this country
00:55:18.940 many years after slavery
00:55:20.080 was abolished?
00:55:21.600 What about those
00:55:22.500 whose ancestors
00:55:23.100 were wealthy slave owners
00:55:24.300 in Africa
00:55:24.920 and then came to America
00:55:26.060 after emancipation?
00:55:28.160 What about those
00:55:28.780 who are mixed race,
00:55:30.100 half white and half black?
00:55:32.120 Do they pay reparations
00:55:33.320 to themselves?
00:55:34.900 And what about white people
00:55:36.000 who are descended
00:55:36.520 from those enslaved
00:55:37.400 in northern Africa
00:55:38.120 or who came here
00:55:38.860 as indentured servants
00:55:39.680 or who came here
00:55:40.660 long after slavery
00:55:41.720 and experienced bigotry
00:55:42.800 and prejudice of their own?
00:55:45.680 Any reparations plan
00:55:46.700 would have to be able
00:55:47.340 to make these distinctions
00:55:48.400 before it could even
00:55:49.120 begin to claim
00:55:50.200 any sort of ethical rationale,
00:55:52.840 yet no reparations plan,
00:55:54.300 including this one,
00:55:55.060 grapples with any of this.
00:55:58.080 All the black people
00:55:58.940 are in effect
00:55:59.360 considered slavery descendants,
00:56:00.940 whether they really are
00:56:01.800 or not,
00:56:02.580 and all the white people
00:56:03.540 are considered descendants
00:56:04.460 of slave owners,
00:56:05.320 whether they really are
00:56:06.140 or not.
00:56:06.640 It's unconscionably stupid
00:56:08.320 and unjust.
00:56:10.580 Of course,
00:56:10.960 that's not to say
00:56:11.480 that I would favor reparations
00:56:12.700 for the actual descendants
00:56:13.980 of slavery,
00:56:14.960 whoever and wherever they are,
00:56:16.680 because it's been 150 years.
00:56:18.120 It's been a century and a half
00:56:19.140 since the practice
00:56:20.480 was abolished.
00:56:22.500 There's been many generations
00:56:23.980 to recover from the trauma.
00:56:27.220 And if you're still
00:56:28.080 somehow feeling persecuted
00:56:29.460 by a form of persecution
00:56:30.560 that you didn't experience
00:56:31.780 and your parents didn't experience
00:56:33.400 and your grandparents
00:56:34.300 and grandparents'
00:56:35.160 grandparents didn't experience,
00:56:36.140 then it's probably
00:56:37.520 because you want
00:56:39.220 to feel persecuted.
00:56:40.940 This, again,
00:56:41.680 is how the left's
00:56:43.220 racial ideology works.
00:56:46.080 Minority groups
00:56:46.780 are encouraged
00:56:47.660 to hold on to grudges
00:56:49.020 for centuries.
00:56:50.580 Nothing is allowed
00:56:51.300 to change.
00:56:52.480 Nothing is allowed
00:56:53.060 to get better.
00:56:54.220 Nobody is allowed
00:56:54.880 to move on ever.
00:56:56.440 Not after a decade,
00:56:57.420 not after two decades,
00:56:58.500 not after 15 decades.
00:57:01.120 It's just not possible
00:57:02.360 to have a functioning,
00:57:03.440 much less thriving society
00:57:04.680 that is built this way,
00:57:06.020 governed by generational
00:57:07.280 resentment and blood libel
00:57:08.880 and scars that are
00:57:10.060 perpetually reopened
00:57:11.220 again and again
00:57:11.880 because nobody is interested
00:57:13.000 in allowing them to heal.
00:57:15.160 You can't even have
00:57:16.060 a functional family
00:57:17.100 when there's a
00:57:18.380 perpetual resentment,
00:57:19.760 you know,
00:57:19.940 fault-finding,
00:57:20.700 every argument
00:57:21.900 devolves into a
00:57:22.880 re-litigation of wrongs
00:57:24.260 committed in the
00:57:24.860 ancient past.
00:57:27.260 A marriage that's
00:57:28.500 plagued by
00:57:29.200 petty bitterness
00:57:30.060 like that
00:57:30.660 and grievance-mongering
00:57:31.580 will collapse
00:57:32.820 and quickly
00:57:34.380 if there isn't
00:57:35.300 a change.
00:57:36.760 So how does this work
00:57:37.860 when we extend it out
00:57:38.820 to an entire society?
00:57:41.160 How can a country
00:57:42.340 survive
00:57:42.880 if our arguments
00:57:43.860 cannot go anywhere
00:57:45.200 because they can't
00:57:46.000 move past the events
00:57:46.840 of the mid-19th century?
00:57:48.540 It can't survive.
00:57:51.880 That's the answer.
00:57:52.900 It's not intended to survive.
00:57:54.640 That's the point,
00:57:55.300 after all.
00:57:56.000 It's a destructive
00:57:56.920 agenda
00:57:57.680 by design.
00:57:59.780 And that's why
00:58:00.360 those behind the agenda
00:58:01.320 are once again today
00:58:02.640 canceled.
00:58:04.380 That'll do it for
00:58:05.160 this portion of the show
00:58:06.200 as we move over
00:58:06.660 to the members' block.
00:58:07.740 Hope to see you there.
00:58:08.380 If not, talk to you tomorrow.
00:58:09.460 Godspeed.
00:58:18.540 Godspeed.
00:58:21.000 Godspeed.
