The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1081 - The President of LGBTistan Invites Drag Queens To Rainbow-Colored White House

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the Biden administration invited a bunch of groomer drag queens to a rainbow-colored White House 0.99

00:00:05.560 for a celebration of a bill codifying same-sex marriage and initiating a full-on assault of religious liberty in the country.

00:00:11.940 They could not be more clear about their intentions at this point.

00:00:14.620 Also, a human rights campaign report links me to, quote, anti-LGBT violence.

00:00:19.840 A reporter asked for my comment about this, and I will happily give it to him, but he probably won't like it. 0.98

00:00:24.340 Plus, a trans activist is gloriously exposed as a shill and a hypocrite during a House hearing. 0.96

00:00:29.040 CNN starts pushing masks again for the holiday season. 0.99

00:01:48.160 It was a patriotic display last night.

00:01:50.740 The White House was aglow, lit up in the colors of the national flag.

00:01:55.340 No, it wasn't shining red, white, and blue, of course.

00:01:57.520 Those are the colors of the American flag.

00:01:59.260 But that is not the nation that this administration represents.

00:02:02.160 Instead, it was glowing in the various shades of the rainbow, the gay pride flag, the flag of LGBTistan, the U.S. of gay,

00:02:10.260 the only country that Joe Biden actually cares to lead.

00:02:14.000 And it was a fitting end to a day that began with an enormous celebration around the signing of the so-called Respect for Marriage Act,

00:02:21.700 a law that respects marriage about as much as Planned Parenthood plans parenthood.

00:02:26.340 As we've covered on the show, the legislation will codify the radical leftist redefinition of marriage at the federal level.

00:02:33.580 A redefinition of marriage is actually just the destruction of marriage.

00:02:36.780 It's a redefinition that gets rid of the, quote, old definition and substitutes it for nothing,

00:02:42.980 which is always how the leftist redefinition process works.

00:02:46.280 And it sets the stage for the full-on assault of religious liberty,

00:02:52.500 which will eventually culminate in the criminalization of any religion that still adheres to what we now call traditional beliefs about marriage.

00:03:01.340 Now, obviously, that is not all explicitly spelled out in the law, but it doesn't need to be.

00:03:07.480 Now, of course, it was less than 20 years ago that Joe Biden, nearly 60 years old at the time,

00:03:13.060 sat on Meet the Press and firmly declared that marriage is between a man and a woman.

00:03:18.220 Let's relive that moment together, shall we?

00:03:21.560 The president used his radio address yesterday and tomorrow in the Rose Garden

00:03:25.700 to talk about a constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage.

00:03:29.160 You know, think about this. 0.96

00:03:32.240 The world's going to Hades in a handbasket.

00:03:36.520 We are desperately concerned about the circumstance relating to avian flu.

00:03:43.400 We don't have enough vaccines.

00:03:45.260 We don't have enough police officers.

00:03:47.040 And we're going to debate the next three weeks, I'm told, gay marriage, a flag amendment, and God only knows what else.

00:03:55.580 I can't believe the American people can't see through this.

00:03:58.280 We already have a law, the Defense of Marriage Act.

00:04:01.120 We've all voted.

00:04:01.940 Not where I voted and others said, look, marriage is between a man and a woman, and states must respect that.

00:04:07.680 Nobody's violated that law.

00:04:10.460 There's been no challenge to that law.

00:04:12.560 Why do we need a constitutional amendment? 0.93

00:04:14.840 Marriage is between a man and a woman. 0.55

00:04:17.220 What's the game going on here?

00:04:20.120 Now, Joe Biden had lived 60 years allegedly believing that marriage was a man-woman union by definition.

00:04:28.840 A couple of years after that interview, he changed his mind.

00:04:31.680 And he happened to change it at exactly the moment that nearly every other mainstream Democrat, to include Obama, changed theirs also.

00:04:39.820 It was a mass awakening of sorts.

00:04:42.160 All of them together nearly overnight decided that everything they'd ever said or supposedly believed about marriage was wrong.

00:04:50.620 And the one thing that none of them have ever been able to do is explain why this change occurred.

00:04:55.380 What did they come to realize about marriage that they hadn't realized before?

00:04:59.520 What convinced them that their previous ideas were incorrect?

00:05:03.360 What did the LGBT gods say to them when it appeared in a ray of light on the road to Damascus and sparked their sudden conversion? 0.60

00:05:10.820 None of this has ever been explained.

00:05:13.200 At least not explained by them in an honest and believable way.

00:05:16.940 So fast forward a few years, and the White House is now codifying a type of marriage that Joe Biden of 2006 said could not, by definition, even exist.

00:05:24.720 As for the event, to start things off, washed up pop singer Sidney Lauper addressed reporters and thanked Joe Biden for giving her the permission that she needs to love who she loves.

00:05:37.180 We can rest easy tonight because our families are validated and because now we're allowed to love who we love, which sounds odd to say.

00:05:50.600 But Americans can now love who we love and bless Joe Biden and all the people that worked on this for allowing people not to worry and their children not to worry about their future.

00:06:08.280 Now, it comes as news to most of us that prior to yesterday afternoon, we were only allowed to love certain people.

00:06:16.660 And now, thanks to legislation, we can love anyone we want.

00:06:19.660 All of those laws preventing us from loving people have been abolished.

00:06:24.620 You know, all those anti-love bills, all of that love regulation, that's all gone.

00:06:32.500 Never mind the fact that it didn't exist.

00:06:34.680 And certainly didn't exist two days ago.

00:06:36.320 So there was a lot of that sort of thing at the signing event, lashing out against non-existent threats and enemies.

00:06:41.900 Joe Biden delivered his own variation on this theme.

00:06:45.300 Justice Thomas went even further and he wrote the following quote.

00:06:50.000 We should reconsider all the court's substantive due process presidents, including Griswold, Lawrence, Obergefell.

00:06:58.340 That means he thinks we should reconsider whether you've got the right to access to contraception.

00:07:05.580 And yes, we should reconsider whether you have the right to marry who you love.

00:07:11.340 And that's not only the challenge ahead.

00:07:13.960 When a person can be married in the morning and thrown out of a restaurant for being gay in the afternoon, this is still wrong. 0.65

00:07:22.220 Yeah, well, that isn't happening at all.

00:07:26.260 But don't let that stop you.

00:07:27.880 Isn't happening, hasn't happened, wouldn't happen.

00:07:31.320 Literally just is not happening at all.

00:07:33.620 Nobody's getting thrown out of a restaurant for being gay.

00:07:36.540 Okay, that's not happening anywhere.

00:07:38.540 There's not anywhere where the owner of a restaurant is going up to someone and say, 0.93

00:07:41.200 Hey, I heard you're gay. 0.99

00:07:42.200 Get out of here. 1.00

00:07:42.920 We don't serve your kind here. 1.00

00:07:44.280 Get out.

00:07:45.520 Just literally not happening, period.

00:07:48.900 Which isn't to say that nobody's getting thrown out of restaurants for who they are or what they believe.

00:07:52.860 In fact, just last week, a Christian group was denied service and kicked out of a Virginia restaurant for that reason,

00:07:58.900 because of what they believed and who they were.

00:08:01.100 Christians. 0.51

00:08:02.320 There's no dispute about the facts of that case.

00:08:04.580 The restaurant owner proudly admits to it.

00:08:06.900 But Joe Biden isn't worried about that sort of discrimination.

00:08:10.660 On the contrary, the objective is to exactly create a culture of that sort of hostility towards Christians and other outsider groups.

00:08:19.880 But Biden didn't just use the opportunity to invent wild stories about forms of discrimination that no gay person in the country has ever or will ever face. 0.86

00:08:29.140 He branched out and began shilling also for child mutilation and castration. 0.62

00:08:34.060 Listen.

00:08:34.160 When hospitals, libraries, and community centers are threatened and intimidated, excuse me, because they support LGBTQ children and families, we have to speak out.

00:08:48.780 We must stop the hate and violence, like we just saw in Colorado Springs, where a place of acceptance and celebration was targeted for violence and terror.

00:08:58.940 We need to challenge the hundreds of callous, cynical laws introduced in the states targeting transgender children, terrifying families, and criminalizing doctors who give children the care they need.

00:09:13.900 We have to protect these children so they know they are loved, and we will stand up for them and say they can seek for themselves. 0.99

00:09:21.760 So the president of the United States, demented old pervert that he is, wants to protect these children by ensuring that they are sexually abused and chemically castrated. 0.99

00:09:33.520 This is not only horrifying and deranged in its own right, it also may come as a surprise to the more oblivious sorts of conservatives who thought that the gay marriage bill was just about gay marriage. 0.99

00:09:43.960 The people in this naive category may have also been shocked by the guest list for this event. 0.57

00:09:50.460 Biden sent out invitations to all sorts of various freaks and weirdos, such as a drag queen who goes by the name Marty Cummings.

00:09:58.420 And though Marty is an explicitly sexual performer, he often performs for children, including children as young as two years old in at least one case.

00:10:06.580 With that in mind, it's no surprise that Kamala Harris kicked things off by paying homage to the great Harvey Milk. 0.99

00:10:13.340 And as the great Harvey Milk once said, I quote,

00:10:20.080 Rights are won only by those who make their voices heard.

00:10:25.800 And because you made your voices heard, marriages are more secure and Joe Biden is our president. 0.88

00:10:40.560 Now, Harvey Milk had a habit of sexually abusing drug addicted teenage boys.

00:10:59.060 This is what qualifies you for greatness in the eyes of the modern Democrat Party.

00:11:02.400 So to review, Biden held an event to sign a bill codifying gay marriage on the federal level to which he invited drag queens who perform for children. 0.98

00:11:12.120 And during the event, he shilled for child castration while his vice president hailed a notorious sexual abuser. 0.95

00:11:19.660 That kind of summarizes it. 0.88

00:11:21.980 So I must ask then the conservatives, quote unquote, who supported this bill, which there are many.

00:11:28.600 Many Republicans support it.

00:11:29.840 It's the only way that it was passed.

00:11:32.400 And many other conservatives have come out in support of it or said that they're okay with it.

00:11:37.500 I must ask those conservatives or any who support, you know, the Democratic view of marriage as an institution in general.

00:11:44.020 Of them, I must ask, do you people understand what is going on now?

00:11:50.060 Do you patsies get it yet?

00:11:52.540 Has it sunken in?

00:11:54.320 Will it ever?

00:11:55.880 Is this enough?

00:11:56.900 They are shouting their real agenda into a megaphone under a rainbow spotlight with half-naked drag queens dancing all around. 0.99

00:12:05.700 Is that enough for you to notice?

00:12:08.160 Is it still too subtle?

00:12:10.440 Are you still sitting there like, I don't understand.

00:12:12.480 I don't know what's going on here.

00:12:13.920 Can you hear them yet?

00:12:15.640 They're not whispering.

00:12:16.680 Do you understand that the Democrats are not actually interested in protecting anyone's right to love?

00:12:25.660 A right that was never under threat and couldn't be because it wouldn't be possible to pass a law banning love even if we wanted to.

00:12:33.220 Do you understand that these people are actually interested in destroying everything that is good and true and beautiful and real in our culture?

00:12:42.620 That they want to demolish literally every pillar of human civilization?

00:12:46.000 That they reject every insight passed to us from our ancestors?

00:12:49.140 And that they are in the process of fundamentally reshaping this country into a nihilistic, sexually debased wasteland of misery and moral anarchy?

00:12:56.980 Is that clear yet to you?

00:13:00.640 Everything they are doing is to that end.

00:13:03.880 It is all for that purpose.

00:13:06.640 Can you see that yet? 0.87

00:13:08.780 How many drag queen pedophiles and BDSM dog fetishists do they have to pack into the rainbow before you wake up? 0.98

00:13:18.700 Well, imagine if you aren't awake yet, you never will be. 0.96

00:13:23.880 So be it.

00:13:25.700 Then just stay in your stupor, but get the hell out of the way, and let the rest of us fight this fight.

00:13:33.520 The way it needs to be fought.

00:13:36.020 And do what needs to be done.

00:13:37.600 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:13:41.200 Men, do you think it's time to stop mindlessly scrolling?

00:13:50.440 Time to finally gain that higher quality of life you know you're missing out on.

00:13:54.120 If this sounds familiar, then on January 9th, join thousands of men all over the world to embark on a 90-day journey together in search of a better life.

00:14:01.200 It's called Exodus 90, and it was built to help men enjoy the freedom of becoming who they are and who they were truly made to be.

00:14:07.440 Exodus 90 guides you in removing the attachments that are holding you back from a better life, and it actually works.

00:14:12.580 Independent research shows that Exodus 90 and the men who participate report considerable shifts after the 90 days, including stronger satisfaction rates in their marriages, more meaningful prayer lives, and dramatic decreases in time spent on their phones.

00:14:26.060 For the past seven years, Exodus has helped more than 60,000 men build a roadmap for living with virtue in a culture that offers far too many paths to self-destruction.

00:14:33.680 So is it time for your Exodus? 0.83

00:14:36.500 We start January 9th.

00:14:38.080 Find resources to prepare for Exodus at Exodus90.com slash Walsh.

00:14:42.260 That's Exodus90.com slash Walsh.

00:14:46.220 The Human Rights Campaign apparently put out a report a couple of days ago titled Online Harassment, Offline Violence, Unchecked Harassment of Gender-Affirming Care Providers in Children's Hospitals and Social Media and Its Offline Violent Consequences.

00:15:01.160 This is the report they published, and it outlines the ways that conservative media, primarily myself and Libs of TikTok, have fomented violence, allegedly, against LGBT people.

00:15:12.260 And when I say it outlines the way that we've done this, I mean that it invents this story, fleshes out this narrative out of whole cloth.

00:15:19.140 So reading from the top of the report, and this goes on for pages and pages, but it says anti-equality online extremists are leading a proactive and coordinated campaign of hate against hospitals and medical providers who offer gender-affirming care for transgender, non-binary, and questioning youth.

00:15:37.780 Social media posts from accounts like Libs of TikTok and Matt Walsh kick off a cycle of harassment and stigma with the ultimate goal of inciting violence and shutting down access to life-saving and medically necessary gender-affirming care.

00:15:51.540 Hate speech accounts post an inflammatory message full of disinformation about gender-affirming care and call out a specific hospital or doctor by name.

00:15:59.320 The doctor and hospital almost immediately begins receiving a barrage of harassing and threatening messages online.

00:16:05.300 Offline doctors and hospitals named in social media harassment campaigns face harassment and threats at their homes and workplaces.

00:16:11.380 In the most extreme examples, doctors face death threats and hospitals face bomb threats, halting care for all patients.

00:16:17.840 Extremist politicians looking to rile up the most extreme members of their base join in, spreading the same transphobic rhetoric from their platforms,

00:16:24.800 in some cases going so far as to introduce legislation to regulate children's hospitals and gender-affirming care providers.

00:16:31.080 Hospitals halt gender-affirming care services or remove online resources and websites in order to protect the safety of their patients and staff.

00:16:37.940 So that's the Human Rights Campaign going through the process as it plays out that they're inventing.

00:16:47.760 Now, not all of this is invented.

00:16:49.500 Some of this is actually true.

00:16:53.100 Not much of it, but some of it is.

00:16:55.420 Like, for example, stigma.

00:16:58.060 Yeah, I fully admit, 100%.

00:17:00.940 You can quote me on this Human Rights Campaign.

00:17:03.980 Quote me on it.

00:17:04.840 I am trying to stigmatize doctors and hospitals and so-called health care providers who abuse children.

00:17:12.840 I am absolutely trying to stigmatize them.

00:17:15.300 I want there to be a very, very harsh stigma around that.

00:17:19.500 I want all forms of child abuse to be stigmatized at a minimum.

00:17:26.420 So you're right about that.

00:17:28.340 The part you're wrong about is that we have called for or encouraged violence.

00:17:34.860 And that's why in this report that, again, goes on from pages to pages, there is not one example provided.

00:17:41.880 There never is any example provided of any of us ever encouraging violence at all.

00:17:47.480 There are no actual examples because we've never done it.

00:17:50.760 And yet we are accused of encouraging violence, even as this lengthy war and peace-length report cannot give any examples of what it accuses us of.

00:17:59.220 Now, I found out about this report because a reporter named Benjamin Ryan tweeted at me looking for comments.

00:18:07.880 I didn't even know that this was being done.

00:18:10.680 And he tweeted, he said,

00:18:11.300 Hi, Matt, today the Human Rights Campaign released a report tying your rhetoric with regards to LGBTQ issues with anti-LGBTQ violence.

00:18:19.520 How do you respond to that?

00:18:21.720 And I gave him my statement.

00:18:22.960 I said,

00:18:23.140 Hi, Ben.

00:18:23.500 My official statement and response is that the Human Rights Campaign is a far-left extremist organization full of hacks and frauds. 0.83

00:18:28.860 And I couldn't give less of a damn what they say. 0.99

00:18:30.620 Anyone who takes them seriously is dumber than a pile of bricks, yourself included. 0.99

00:18:34.440 Thanks. 0.99

00:18:35.420 That was my official statement that I hope he includes in his totality and in whatever piece of propaganda he's writing for the New York Times or whatever he's writing for.

00:18:43.060 And if I could just elaborate a bit on that, I don't think I need to elaborate much because I said what I had to say.

00:18:50.700 But if I were to elaborate, I would only say that the ability of the Human Rights Campaign or of Benjamin himself or anyone in the media to control me,

00:19:02.280 depends on my consent, my participation.

00:19:07.680 Like I always say about cancel culture. 0.75

00:19:09.740 You know, you have to, in many cases, participate in some way in your own cancellation.

00:19:14.240 And it's the same sort of thing here.

00:19:15.900 I would have to participate in my own emotional blackmail by deciding to care what these people think.

00:19:23.520 That's the participation that is required of me.

00:19:25.860 The only way the Human Rights Campaign can, like, scare me or make me or cause me to fall into silence by publishing a big report,

00:19:34.160 Matt Walsh encourages violence.

00:19:36.060 Only way they can do that is if I care what they think.

00:19:40.560 But the problem that Ben runs into and that the Human Rights Campaign runs into and that Media Matters runs into is that I don't care at all.

00:19:50.780 I just don't.

00:19:53.400 You know, Media Matters, and I found out about this because it was tweeted at me.

00:19:58.600 One of our friends of the Daily Wire, Margo, tweeted this to me, that apparently, and this is true, I checked it.

00:20:05.080 If you Google, unless they've taken it down now, but if you Google on your phone Media Matters and it pops up,

00:20:11.940 you'll see that they have a whole category on their website for me.

00:20:16.560 So they've got these broad categories of subjects, and then they've just got a whole other thing, which is Matt Walsh.

00:20:22.580 And you can click on that, and you can see that's, like, three or four times a week they're posting articles.

00:20:29.780 But it's very frustrating for them because what they find, again, is that I just don't care.

00:20:33.540 I don't care what you think about me.

00:20:35.760 Your approval doesn't matter to me.

00:20:37.880 In fact, it's worse than that for them.

00:20:45.080 It's, I don't care about their approval.

00:20:47.500 I'm not trying to get their approval.

00:20:49.460 But as for their opinion in general, whether it's the Human Rights Campaign or this reporter or Media Matters,

00:20:55.640 I do actually care about their opinion, sort of, because I want them to hate me.

00:20:59.760 I do, because they are contemptible and despicable, and I would feel deeply ashamed of myself if they didn't hate me.

00:21:10.580 So when they tell me that they hate me, and they insult me, and they accuse me of things,

00:21:16.120 that only makes me feel more confident and reassured.

00:21:18.880 Now, that's not that the number one thing driving me is that I want to be hated by these people.

00:21:26.080 But I do consider that a sign that I'm doing the right thing.

00:21:30.760 In fact, honestly, if I go a few weeks, and there's not some hit piece being published about me by someone,

00:21:36.380 I start to think, man, I must be slipping.

00:21:38.680 I'm falling off here.

00:21:40.560 I'm not doing my job.

00:21:43.420 So that's the issue.

00:21:45.620 And you can put all that in your article, too, if you want.

00:21:48.880 All right, this is a great clip here.

00:21:51.760 So we've done some kind of heavy and dark subjects, but this I love.

00:21:56.860 This is the House Oversight and Reform Committee.

00:21:59.220 They had a hearing on, quote,

00:22:01.020 the evolution of anti-democratic extremist groups and the ongoing threat to democracy.

00:22:05.320 This was supposed to be, it was designed to be, of course, an opportunity to defame conservatives,

00:22:10.280 but Representative Nancy Mace flipped the script.

00:22:14.040 Now, I'm no Nancy Mace fan, to put it mildly.

00:22:17.600 And she's one of the Republicans who signed on for this so-called Respect Marriage Act.

00:22:23.280 And so I'm not a fan of hers.

00:22:26.400 She's generally a left-leaning Republican who goes along with the Democrats' agenda on so many issues.

00:22:31.720 But credit where it's due, she shined in this moment.

00:22:34.320 This was a great moment. 0.98

00:22:35.380 This was her greatest moment against one of the most vile and disgusting trans activists in the country. 1.00

00:22:41.340 This is because they got a bunch of activists that they brought in. 0.99

00:22:45.820 And one of them is Alejandra Caraballo, who's a male who identifies as a female and is an absolute soulless ghoul of a human being. 1.00

00:22:55.980 Just an awful, awful person. 0.98

00:22:58.880 Now, of course, that describes all trans activists. 1.00

00:23:00.700 I mean, all trans activists are reprehensible goblins. 1.00

00:23:05.480 They are. 1.00

00:23:06.220 I mean, these are the most vicious, reprehensible people in the political sphere, period.

00:23:13.980 Every single one without exception.

00:23:16.020 But this one in particular.

00:23:17.700 So let's watch as this is kind of a long clip.

00:23:19.880 We'll kind of follow along.

00:23:22.100 And we start by Nancy Mace baiting the trap. 0.92

00:23:27.420 So here we go.

00:23:28.240 Is rhetoric on social media a problem and a threat to our democracy, Mr. Ward?

00:23:35.860 Yes, absolutely.

00:23:36.780 Mr. Siegel?

00:23:38.220 Yes.

00:23:38.920 Ms. Caraballo?

00:23:40.280 Yes.

00:23:41.200 Ms. Nomani?

00:23:42.080 Yes.

00:23:42.840 Ms. Tyler?

00:23:43.400 Yes.

00:23:44.380 Yes.

00:23:46.320 Another question I have.

00:23:47.880 Do you believe that rhetoric targeting officials with violence for carrying out their constitutional duties is a threat to democracy, Mr. Ward?

00:23:58.240 Mr. Siegel?

00:24:00.600 Yes.

00:24:02.180 Yes.

00:24:03.920 Yes.

00:24:04.800 Yes.

00:24:05.860 Yes.

00:24:06.780 Yes.

00:24:07.220 All right.

00:24:08.360 Thank you very much.

00:24:09.460 Only a few weeks after the attempted attack on a Supreme Court justice on June 25th, one of the witnesses, Alejandra Caraballo, tweeted out the following in response to a decision on abortion overturning Roe v. Wade.

00:24:20.600 And I'll quote directly from the tweet.

00:24:21.980 The six justices who overturned Roe should never know peace again.

00:24:27.520 It is our civic duty to accost them every time they're in public.

00:24:32.080 They are pariahs.

00:24:33.840 Since women don't have their rights, these justices should never have a peaceful moment in public again. 1.00

00:24:38.800 I know something about being accosted.

00:24:41.160 The night of January 5th, I was physically accosted on the streets of D.C. in Navy Yard by a constituent of mine.

00:24:49.660 I fervently blamed rhetoric, rhetoric on social media, rhetoric at public events, for being physically accosted.

00:24:57.800 I carry a gun everywhere I go when I am in my district and I'm at home because I know personally that rhetoric has consequences.

00:25:08.640 I've had my car keyed.

00:25:10.160 I've had my house spray painted.

00:25:11.660 I had someone trespass in my house as recently as August.

00:25:15.800 I've been doxed on social media about where I live.

00:25:19.880 And I've had to add to security everywhere I go.

00:25:22.880 Often, because I can't afford it, I have to carry my own firearm wherever I go.

00:25:26.700 And Alejandro Caraballo also recently tweeted on November 19th, not even a month ago, that the Supreme Court vested with the judicial power of the United States by our Constitution stated they are not a legitimate court issuing decisions.

00:25:41.900 And also, the Supreme Court is an organ of the far right.

00:25:46.420 So, my last question today of Ms. Caraballo, do you stand by these comments, this kind of rhetoric on social media, and do you believe it's a threat to democracy?

00:25:57.380 Thank you, Representative, for the opportunity to clarify and provide context to my tweets.

00:26:02.660 I have a question.

00:26:03.520 Is it yes or no?

00:26:04.140 Do you believe your rhetoric is a threat to democracy when you're calling to accost a branch of government, the Supreme Court?

00:26:12.740 I don't believe that's a correct characterization of my statements.

00:26:16.800 Did you not tweet that, that you thought that the Supreme Court justices should be accosted?

00:26:22.980 What I'm saying is that that is not a accurate characterization of my statements.

00:26:27.740 That's great.

00:26:31.020 And what makes it great, too, is that we've got Caraballo saying, that's not, that's an unfair characterization of my statements.

00:26:38.480 Meanwhile, his statements are right behind her, right there.

00:26:41.760 You can see it.

00:26:43.020 You said you wanted accost.

00:26:44.260 I didn't say that.

00:26:44.920 That's not what I said.

00:26:45.700 It's right there.

00:26:46.460 Now, I thought this was a beautiful moment because it exposes the, of course, the hypocrisy and the double standards and everything.

00:26:56.360 But more than that, it just exposes the hollowness of what these people say.

00:27:03.520 And that, that's really the value because pointing out double standards, it only goes so far.

00:27:10.380 I get that.

00:27:12.300 The value in doing it is that it shows, it demonstrates that what these people say is it's totally hollow.

00:27:21.640 Nothing that they say means anything.

00:27:23.480 It doesn't mean anything.

00:27:25.560 All they care about is themselves.

00:27:27.820 They are utterly consumed.

00:27:29.780 And this is the case of leftist activists in general, in particular trans activists.

00:27:33.520 They are just totally consumed by their own ego.

00:27:37.060 It's the only thing they care about.

00:27:38.980 That's it.

00:27:40.340 And so they are going, and they want all of society to revolve around them and to affirm everything they believe about themselves and to participate in whatever delusional, you know, charade that they demand.

00:27:53.680 And they're just going to say whatever they feel like they need to say to advance that agenda.

00:27:58.800 It doesn't mean anything.

00:28:01.140 There are no principles here.

00:28:02.640 There are no, there are no underlying principles.

00:28:07.860 I wish that was the case.

00:28:10.520 You know, the people that talk about, uh, when you say, make these statements, it's a threat to democracy and all this.

00:28:15.840 Like I, and we used to call these people, the left is other snowflakes and they're oversensitive.

00:28:20.920 And there are still people on the right who say that, but that was never the case.

00:28:23.920 I wish it was that.

00:28:25.240 I wish it was just that.

00:28:26.260 I wish it was, uh, the problem with people on the left is that, or someone like Carabayo, the problem with these people is that they're overly sensitive and, you know, they take words too seriously.

00:28:36.180 And, uh, you know, and, and they have this almost like Victorian prudishness when it comes to language.

00:28:41.960 I wish that was the case.

00:28:44.680 You know, I know people who are actually overly sensitive and that could, it could be a bad thing.

00:28:52.940 It could be a flaw, but it does emanate from, it's, it's a sensitivity.

00:28:59.640 Like you, you care about people.

00:29:02.120 That's what it means.

00:29:02.620 You're actually sensitive.

00:29:03.880 It means you're a sensitive and caring person.

00:29:07.900 It's not bad to be a sensitive and caring person.

00:29:09.620 I'm not, but it's not bad to be that.

00:29:12.860 And yeah, it can go a little bit too far sometimes and, uh, and all of that, but that's not the issue here.

00:29:18.500 This is not about sensitivity.

00:29:19.860 This is not about, you know, they, they, they want civility and language. 0.99

00:29:23.080 Now, the real answer that Caraballo is not going to give and didn't give there is that, well, no, no, it's okay to call for a costing Supreme Court justice because they deserve to die. 0.99

00:29:37.200 Like he wants them dead. 0.99

00:29:38.520 That's it. 1.00

00:29:39.800 Actually wants them dead. 1.00

00:29:42.800 These people, they would be happy. 0.99

00:29:45.060 If someone actually made it into Brett Kavanaugh's house, the guy who came to kill, if he actually made it into the house and murdered him and his whole family, they would be happy. 0.81

00:29:52.500 They would be, they would be ecstatic.

00:29:56.320 So that's the answer. 1.00

00:29:58.640 They deserve to die. 1.00

00:30:01.500 Anyone who disagrees with them deserves to die. 1.00

00:30:03.520 That is their actual belief. 1.00

00:30:07.800 All right.

00:30:09.700 And another clip here, changing subjects a bit.

00:30:12.880 CNN is pushing masks again as we get into the holiday.

00:30:17.340 We're hearing more about, uh, maybe we need to get back into masking and let's watch this.

00:30:22.500 New York officials are now urging people to start wearing masks up again since we've seen an uptick in cases and we're seeing a rise in flu cases as well.

00:30:31.260 And hospitals that are starting to get, uh, more busy and busier through this holiday season.

00:30:37.260 Do you think that Americans and New Yorkers will start putting their masks on though after they haven't for so many months?

00:30:42.740 Yeah, I think so.

00:30:46.340 I think the framework though has to be one of individual protection.

00:30:49.380 So I was rounding in the hospital today seeing patients and I saw multiple COVID patients, multiple flu patients, even someone with something called metanumovirus, which is another respiratory infection that travels around this time of year.

00:31:00.820 And I think as people see just how much virus there is out there this time of year, you know, when you're in a public place and you're surrounded by strangers, throwing on a mask for, you know, 30 minutes while you go shopping is not too much to ask just to protect yourself.

00:31:13.420 Even if you're a healthy person, you know, being sick for a week or two with flu or COVID is not fun.

00:31:18.960 No, it's not, but I have to tell you just from watching people here in the city, I don't see many people walking around in masks yet.

00:31:25.120 Now that could change in the next few weeks while we have you, let me ask you about another alarming development that we've seen.

00:31:30.920 And that's a shortage of over-the-counter medications.

00:31:33.160 And these are medications that are prescribed for fever reduction and pain, uh, typically given to children.

00:31:38.160 We've seen an increase in, in COVID flu, RSV.

00:31:42.060 How alarming is that?

00:31:43.300 And what can parents do now?

00:31:45.700 Yeah, so many kids are sick.

00:31:47.120 I've got three of them.

00:31:47.880 Um, they've, they've all had their share of respiratory illnesses this season.

00:31:52.980 It does, uh, it's no big deal.

00:31:54.900 It's not, not too much to ask to throw the mask on, uh, as they're going to try to ramp up the masking again.

00:32:00.280 And well, it is, it is too much to ask.

00:32:02.080 Actually, it's way too much.

00:32:03.780 Um, if you're asking me to throw the mask on for 30 minutes, you're asking me for 30 minutes too many, um, of wearing the mask.

00:32:10.580 I do want to make one point about this mask thing though.

00:32:12.660 Enough has been said about it.

00:32:14.000 I think you all know my view on the subject of masking, but.

00:32:16.700 One thing that frustrates me slightly when we talk about masks.

00:32:21.920 Is when the anti-masks or maskers, such as myself, otherwise known as just like common sense, regular people.

00:32:31.720 Uh, when they frame their arguments around the claim that the masks don't work.

00:32:38.620 Right?

00:32:39.060 They say, oh, the masks don't work.

00:32:40.220 So why should we wear them?

00:32:42.120 And it's true, of course, that so many of the masks that people have been wearing in the context in which they've worn them have been statistically close to useless or worse.

00:32:51.540 I mean, even the so-called experts will now admit that the cloth masks, you know, uh, they're, they're not doing much for COVID.

00:32:58.380 And, and certainly, you know, back when like people were wearing, it's like wearing bandanas and all this stuff.

00:33:04.080 It's like in the early days, they would just put something on your face.

00:33:07.300 It doesn't matter what it is.

00:33:08.180 It's like, that's not doing anything.

00:33:10.420 Um, and, and they'll also admit that most people were never wearing the masks properly or wearing clean ones.

00:33:15.980 And so the whole thing was just a pointless charade.

00:33:19.840 But that's not really my issue with the mask.

00:33:22.480 And I, I think it's a, we make a mistake by making that the issue.

00:33:27.700 Because I don't care if the masks work or not.

00:33:30.900 I don't care.

00:33:32.340 It's, that's not the point.

00:33:33.500 It has nothing to do with it for me at all.

00:33:36.300 I've never been all that interested in the question of, oh, do they work?

00:33:39.540 How much do they work?

00:33:40.240 What are the stats?

00:33:40.780 It doesn't matter.

00:33:41.500 It makes no difference.

00:33:42.380 That is not, that was never in my calculations.

00:33:45.060 Like maybe just speaking for myself. 0.98

00:33:48.440 When I decided early on, I'm not doing this damn mask thing. 0.95

00:33:51.680 It wasn't because I don't think this works. 0.97

00:33:53.060 It was just because I'm just not doing it.

00:33:54.740 I don't care if it works or not.

00:33:56.860 Now it's true that a properly fitting N95 mask, if it's clean, if it's worn correctly,

00:34:02.660 yeah, it'll help prevent to some extent the, the, the spread of, of different sorts of

00:34:07.920 viruses and pathogens and all of that.

00:34:09.680 There's a reason why, you know, doctors and surgeons and hospitals when they're performing

00:34:13.420 surgeries have always worn masks like that, medical grade masks.

00:34:16.800 And it was, you know, it was never an issue.

00:34:18.600 It just, it made sense in that context that it makes sense.

00:34:22.380 Um, so when we structure the whole argument around whether or not they work, then it sounds

00:34:30.500 like we're conceding that if effective masks could be disseminated to everybody and if they

00:34:37.820 were properly worn that maybe we'd be on board for masking, but I'm not conceding that.

00:34:43.080 And I never have.

00:34:43.840 And I certainly don't now.

00:34:44.680 So even in a, in a fairy tale, magical fairy tale world where everyone had a top of the

00:34:50.800 line medical grade, the best mask on the market, and, uh, everyone had a, like an unlimited

00:34:56.580 supply of them.

00:34:57.680 So they could always have a clean one on and all of that, which that, that world could never

00:35:02.620 exist.

00:35:02.880 But if it did, I wouldn't find that a magical fairy tale world.

00:35:05.880 That would be a nightmare for me because I don't care if the masks work.

00:35:10.820 I don't care if it decreases my chances of getting sick or not.

00:35:15.060 I'm sure that if I walked around in rubber gloves all the time, you know, and I, I always

00:35:21.840 had, uh, the, the surgical gloves on and I had a stash of them in my car that people were

00:35:27.360 actually doing this during COVID for a while.

00:35:28.660 Maybe some people still are like, I'm sure if I did that, that, that, that might, uh, prevent

00:35:32.560 the spread of certain viruses might, that might prevent me from getting sick in certain

00:35:36.540 contexts.

00:35:36.960 Maybe it might help not doing it.

00:35:39.620 I don't care.

00:35:40.360 It doesn't, it, I'm not living that way.

00:35:43.080 That's always been my argument and it is my argument now.

00:35:47.200 I want to breathe fresh air.

00:35:49.400 I want to be able to see people's faces.

00:35:54.200 Okay.

00:35:54.920 You want to see and be seen in public.

00:35:57.480 That's, that's, that's, that's part of the value of being out in public among people.

00:36:02.940 It's just a normal human experience.

00:36:05.240 And that's what I want.

00:36:06.360 I just want the normal human experience of going outside, breathing fresh air, uh, being

00:36:11.720 able to talk to people and understand them and see their facial expressions.

00:36:15.160 And so you can have the full range of human communication.

00:36:18.500 Okay.

00:36:18.860 Because body language or facial expressions is a big part of communication.

00:36:21.680 I want all of that.

00:36:23.300 And I'm willing to accept whatever risks may come from it.

00:36:29.020 Yeah.

00:36:29.520 Going out in public, there are always risks involved in that.

00:36:31.420 And not just COVID.

00:36:33.240 First of all, there are much more dangerous viruses than that out there that you could,

00:36:36.640 you could, you could pick up potentially.

00:36:38.220 And there's a million other things that could happen anytime you walk outside your house.

00:36:41.680 I'm willing to accept all that.

00:36:44.740 That's it.

00:36:46.640 To me, that's a stronger argument.

00:36:48.460 Although there, there, there is plenty that can and should be said about the effectiveness

00:36:52.160 of masks and all that kind of stuff.

00:36:54.100 To me, the more, the more unassailable sort of bulletproof argument is when you don't even

00:36:58.820 give them that.

00:37:00.580 When you turn into a conversation about the effectiveness, I, to me, that's just a losing

00:37:03.860 argument.

00:37:05.200 Better argument is when they say, oh, you're taking a risk.

00:37:07.240 Okay, sure.

00:37:08.240 Fine.

00:37:08.420 That's fine.

00:37:09.120 I'm willing to do that.

00:37:10.200 And I don't care.

00:37:12.900 What can you say now?

00:37:16.640 All right.

00:37:18.160 What else do we got here?

00:37:21.240 Here's a quick story.

00:37:22.840 This is interesting.

00:37:23.680 A 70 years from Yahoo, a 70 year old school bus attendant was spit on by a student and the

00:37:28.580 man's response amounted to felony child abuse.

00:37:31.100 According to the York Pocosin Sheriff's Office in Yorktown, Virginia, the dispute happened

00:37:36.500 on a York County bus as it was transporting elementary school students, officials said.

00:37:40.120 York County is about 25 miles north of Norfolk.

00:37:42.160 It was reported that a seven-year-old student spit on the suspect.

00:37:45.720 The sheriff said no news release.

00:37:47.940 In turn, he sprayed the student with a cleaning solution.

00:37:51.380 The suspect who lives in York County was employed as a bus assistant for the York County School

00:37:55.400 Division at the time.

00:37:56.780 He's no longer working for the district.

00:37:58.160 Investigators did not say the student was injured.

00:37:59.600 The type of cleaning fluid used was not announced.

00:38:02.480 The suspect was arrested December 6th and taken to the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail.

00:38:06.660 He's charged with three felony counts of malicious bodily injury by means of any caustic substance

00:38:11.820 and one felony count of abuse and neglect of children.

00:38:17.040 So there's a lot in this story that we're not told that I think is important.

00:38:21.600 Like what is the cleaning?

00:38:22.460 Was this bleach or something?

00:38:24.100 Was this something that actually could blind the child or cause serious injury?

00:38:26.860 Because if that's the case, then obviously, yeah, you got to put the guy in prison for that.

00:38:31.860 Was this like essentially just a bottle of soap and water that he had back there and he was cleaning

00:38:38.240 and then the kids spit on him and just sort of like reflexively the way you do with a cat,

00:38:42.700 you just sprayed him with the water?

00:38:45.000 Is that what happened?

00:38:46.000 Because to me, that would change things rather significantly.

00:38:49.300 Like was there an actual danger of any kind of physical harm?

00:38:52.920 So that I don't know.

00:38:58.320 But to me, the bigger point, you just hear these kind of stories.

00:39:00.500 I think back to when I was on the bus when I was a kid.

00:39:03.660 And, you know, elementary school, this was the case, but especially in middle school,

00:39:07.780 the bus, even when I was going to school, you know, over two decades ago,

00:39:13.040 the bus was a, it was like a war zone.

00:39:15.420 It was just total anarchy.

00:39:17.120 And especially these poor bus assistants who they, I never could figure out,

00:39:22.060 even when I was a kid, I still can't figure out why they put people in these positions.

00:39:26.080 Because usually it's older people, you put them in the back of the bus 1.00

00:39:29.800 and they just get harassed and tormented constantly by the kids.

00:39:33.700 That's the only reason that they're there, apparently, just to absorb all that abuse.

00:39:37.400 And I think about witnessing that when I was a kid and how much worse it must be now.

00:39:45.460 You know, because things have not gotten better.

00:39:48.080 It's not like kids have become more disciplined over time.

00:39:50.960 I don't think parenting has gotten better over time, right, generationally.

00:39:56.580 So however bad it was, we can assume that it's even worse now.

00:40:00.900 And although this was not the correct response, obviously, it does show again,

00:40:10.900 like when you have a seven-year-old, it says still young, seven years old,

00:40:14.940 seven-year-old spitting on someone, that is not normal seven-year-old behavior.

00:40:19.000 At least it shouldn't be.

00:40:21.040 That is way beyond inappropriate for that age range.

00:40:24.220 You know, I have a six-year-old, and if he went and spit on some adult stranger in public,

00:40:31.320 I would be beyond furious, also at myself, for failing as a parent.

00:40:41.280 And so you just see, again, the impossible situation, as critical as I am,

00:40:47.380 of school staff and teachers.

00:40:50.800 And there's lots of criticism that needs to be directed in that,

00:40:55.040 and it needs to go in that direction,

00:40:57.300 especially with the grooming and the indoctrination that goes on.

00:41:01.780 But at the same time, I can recognize that they're also being put in a possible situation,

00:41:08.200 being, you know, in these environments with kids that have not been parented at all.

00:41:16.040 And then increasingly, increasingly over time, we also take away their ability to punish.

00:41:22.340 Every, you know, increasingly these potential punishments are taken away.

00:41:30.860 You know, you can't expel kids anymore, all this kind of stuff.

00:41:34.020 So their hands are tied behind their back.

00:41:35.240 There's just nothing they can do except absorb the abuse.

00:41:38.360 Until eventually they've had enough of it, and they freak out and start spraying cleaning solution all over the place.

00:41:46.400 All right, let's get to the comment section.

00:41:48.560 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?

00:41:54.500 Who's to blame?

00:41:57.360 It's a sweet baby gang.

00:43:00.180 Mr. Action Production says,

00:43:02.220 You did it, boys.

00:43:03.020 You made them redefine language to support their argument.

00:43:05.780 That's as close to an admission of defeat as you can expect.

00:43:09.440 Yeah, it is an admission of defeat like we talked about yesterday.

00:43:12.240 And that's one thing about any kind of argument that you're in is it's important to know when the argument is won.

00:43:19.380 And, you know, when someone's in a position where they're changing the dictionary in order to support their view because they can't, they have no definition they can offer for the words they're using.

00:43:31.940 And so they just change the dictionary to accommodate for that fact.

00:43:36.700 Then they just, they've lost the argument.

00:43:38.160 They're not going to admit to it.

00:43:39.100 People don't, people don't, people don't admit when they've lost arguments, especially when it's an ideological argument.

00:43:45.140 So they're not going to admit to it.

00:43:47.120 But they've still lost.

00:43:50.660 Jasmine Houston Burns says, quoting me, a part of your job is to not bring your weariness into your employment.

00:43:56.180 Jasmine says, exactly.

00:43:57.180 You have to say the same thing a dozen times a day, but that person in front of you has never heard it before.

00:44:01.700 Plus, there's a tendency to be mad when people don't know, well, you didn't tell them.

00:44:06.960 Yeah, this is the challenge.

00:44:07.920 It's like there's a version of the challenge in any job, especially a customer service job.

00:44:11.280 And I can understand, talk about being in a, you know, being in impossible situations and all of that.

00:44:17.660 I can understand why people in the service industry get frustrated and annoyed.

00:44:22.740 I've worked those jobs in the past.

00:44:24.160 I definitely got frustrated and annoyed.

00:44:25.500 But also, you just have to remember that this weariness that you feel, you're doing the same thing over and over and over again with a million customers.

00:44:32.300 Well, each customer, that's not their experience.

00:44:35.500 And, you know, they're not in there thinking about the fact that you've already dealt with a million customers.

00:44:43.020 I think this is something that, I don't know, maybe the TSA could also keep in mind.

00:44:50.860 And I've met plenty of friendly TSA agents, including recently.

00:44:54.480 He was a TSA agent who's a fan of the show and stopped me.

00:44:56.360 He was a very nice guy.

00:44:57.200 So this does not apply to all of them.

00:44:59.520 But it's like going through the airport.

00:45:01.460 You have these TSA agents who are just barking orders at people.

00:45:04.620 And in this extremely exasperated, annoyed kind of way.

00:45:11.740 And sometimes you'll even hear them talking to each other.

00:45:13.680 How many times do I got to say it?

00:45:14.720 I was like, well, yeah, you've said it a million times, but the person that you're shouting at hasn't heard it a million times.

00:45:22.380 They just walk through security.

00:45:24.020 This is the first time they've heard it.

00:45:25.160 All right.

00:45:28.160 Rose says, Matt is groovy, way cool, boss based, and the bee's knees.

00:45:33.420 Go sweet daddy-o.

00:45:35.540 See, there's some slang I can get with.

00:45:38.480 Like I said, you get three.

00:45:39.540 Each generation is allowed to come up with three new slang words.

00:45:42.300 So the current youngest generation has already gone way above their allotted amount.

00:45:51.320 Aaron says, if some creep attacked my daughter in the ladies' room, he'd soon be identifying as a paraplegic.

00:45:59.300 This is the question we always have, especially with the issue of men going into women's rooms and men invading women's teams and everything.

00:46:08.560 One of the big questions is, like, where are the fathers in these situations?

00:46:13.300 And sometimes the fathers are there, and they're speaking out.

00:46:17.120 But oftentimes that's a very conspicuous silence.

00:46:23.600 That's why I don't, you know, there's some conservatives who will blame the girls who are not sticking up for themselves. 0.99

00:46:31.700 And it's like, girls need to speak out. 1.00

00:46:32.920 The women on these sports teams, they need to speak out. 1.00

00:46:34.760 And they do.

00:46:36.240 That's true.

00:46:37.680 But I'm more looking at parents.

00:46:40.820 I'm looking at the men.

00:46:41.560 I'm looking at the fathers.

00:46:43.680 Why aren't you speaking up in defense of your daughters?

00:46:48.320 There are some who are doing that, but not nearly enough.

00:46:53.060 And Michael Tyson says, maybe the Christmas tree is putting people in danger because a live squirrel comes running out at someone's face like the Griswolds.

00:47:00.340 Yeah, that could be it.

00:47:01.300 And, you know, I was thinking about this yesterday.

00:47:02.580 We had the story of the person with the Human Rights Commission in whatever state that was.

00:47:07.980 I forget now.

00:47:08.700 But she was very, very upset at a Christmas tree in the library.

00:47:12.900 She was really angry about it and just cussing people out and all the rest of it. 1.00

00:47:18.920 And she had to resign.

00:47:20.120 And that's good.

00:47:20.680 And I said, how could anyone get this angry about a Christmas tree?

00:47:24.040 A Christmas tree is a sight that should bring joy to anyone, should make anyone smile, even me.

00:47:28.860 And all that is true, but I should allow for the fact, and this is not why she was upset about it, but I have actually been that angry about a Christmas tree in the past.

00:47:38.200 I mean, I have cussed out Christmas trees.

00:47:40.700 I have cussed out many a Christmas tree in my life.

00:47:42.760 I must admit that, although it's a different kind of situation.

00:47:45.480 Because it's like when it's your Christmas tree and you're trying to do the real Christmas tree thing and you're trying to put it up and make it stay up straight, that's when it's okay to get that angry at a Christmas tree.

00:48:01.240 I've had at least twice where I got so angry at the Christmas tree, I just threw it outside and we decided to get a fake one instead.

00:48:07.020 So that's okay.

00:48:08.760 But when it's someone else's Christmas tree and they've already gone through all that trouble and they're the ones who have to water it and all that kind of stuff and they put the lights on and all the annoying stuff, then there's no reason to be angry about it.

00:48:20.280 That's the stipulation.

00:48:21.600 Don't miss out on our last Daily Wire backstage of the year tonight at 7 p.m. Eastern, 6 p.m. Central.

00:48:26.920 From the red wave that wasn't to Elon dropping the Twitter files, myself and the rest of the gang will be discussing the most important stories of the day and the year.

00:48:34.320 Witness the festivities and join me, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, and Daily Wire God King Jeremy Boring for a very merry backstage.

00:48:41.120 You won't want to miss it.

00:48:42.040 So tune in tonight at 6 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Eastern at dailywireplus.com.

00:48:48.620 We will see you there.

00:48:49.540 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:48:50.780 I don't have any exact numbers to flesh this out, but it seems to me that we have reached another period of peak race hustling. 0.84

00:49:02.020 Of course, the race hustlers are always out there skulking and crawling about, but there are seasons when they are less active and then there are seasons when they are more active, much like deer ticks or other blood-sucking parasitic life forms.

00:49:12.640 In that ebb and flow cycle, it would appear that we are now in a time of flow.

00:49:16.680 The disingenuous tears of racial self-victimization are certainly flowing as furiously as they ever have before, which is why, over the past few weeks, when it comes time for the daily cancellation,

00:49:28.440 often the toughest choice is to decide which racial grievance-mongering phony I'll focus on.

00:49:34.340 Though today, I think there is one who really stands out from the rest, and that is Mark Curry.

00:49:39.120 Mark Curry is a former 90s sitcom actor who, over the last couple of decades, has fallen into near-total obscurity, and he now tours the country as an alleged comedian, searching for the most undiscerning crowds to perform in front of.

00:49:53.580 He's struggled to gain attention or publicity through the strength of his comedy, and I'm assuming that's why he's decided to just finally cash in his victim tokens at the prize counter and take what he can get for them.

00:50:05.720 And he has been able to get something. He's gotten some headlines out of it. He's gotten some pity. He'll probably get a lawsuit.

00:50:12.900 Here's the story from NBC News. It says,

00:50:14.880 Comedian Mark Curry accused a Colorado hotel staffer of racially profiling him as he sat in the lobby, an incident that prompted outrage from celebrities and a promise from the establishment to refund him after the actor posted video of the alleged encounter on Instagram.

00:50:28.100 Curry, who starred in ABC's Hangin' with Mr. Cooper from 1992 to 1997, was staying at the Mining Exchange in Colorado Springs.

00:50:35.900 He was in the city for performances at 3E's Comedy Club on Friday and Saturday.

00:50:40.320 Curry was drinking coffee when he said the employee asked him if he was a guest.

00:50:44.180 He also informed him the lobby was private, the comedian said, according to the video.

00:50:48.180 NBC News does not know what happened before Curry started recording.

00:50:51.620 Well, of course they don't, because one thing we know about almost any video relating to a supposed racism controversy is that the video always picks up in the middle of the exchange or the incident.

00:51:05.180 We're never told what happened beforehand.

00:51:09.120 And before we play some of this out-of-context video for you, here's the hotel's response.

00:51:13.340 NBC News reports again,

00:51:14.380 We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive space for all guests and employees, the statement read.

00:51:20.440 We deeply regret this incident and have reached out to Mr. Curry to offer not only our sincere apologies, but a full refund of his stay and an invitation to return at no cost any time in the future.

00:51:29.340 As a respected community partner, we are also using this opportunity to revisit training with our staff, helping to ensure all interactions are reflective of our company.

00:51:38.420 Wyndham Hotels and Resorts issued a similar statement.

00:51:41.400 The mining exchange is a Wyndham Hotel.

00:51:44.740 Quote,

00:51:44.960 The hotel's owner and management team are working to make this right, the company wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

00:51:50.260 So they deeply regret the incident.

00:51:52.580 And it is indeed regrettable.

00:51:54.660 But not because of the employee's behavior.

00:51:57.320 Even in spite of the out-of-context nature of this video, and the sketchy details about what exactly precipitated it,

00:52:05.480 we still can clearly identify the bad guy in this situation.

00:52:09.880 Now, this goes on for about 25 minutes, but I'll show you about two minutes of it.

00:52:14.640 Here's the first two minutes, and here it is.

00:52:16.260 All right, so the problem is, I'm in a hotel lobby, and this man wants to see, I don't know, I don't know what's-

00:52:26.400 I'm just asking if you're a guest.

00:52:27.620 Huh?

00:52:28.000 I'm just asking if you're a guest.

00:52:29.620 And I'm asking, are you a guest?

00:52:31.060 I said no, I'm an employee.

00:52:32.360 Well, let me see some ID.

00:52:35.300 You got your backup.

00:52:36.220 How you doing, backup?

00:52:37.360 Does he speak?

00:52:41.060 Hello, backup.

00:52:43.720 John, you've been here for 15 minutes.

00:52:49.520 Okay, where we gonna put you?

00:52:50.880 All right.

00:52:59.000 People, he's asking me for my- I can't be in the hotel lobby. 0.98

00:53:05.000 This hotel lobby, you cannot be in this hotel lobby if you're black and you're in Colorado Springs. 1.00

00:53:11.640 So if you're black and you're in Colorado Springs, you can't be in the lobby. 0.99

00:53:15.500 Wow! 0.99

00:53:15.940 This is crazy, isn't it?

00:53:17.900 So check it out.

00:53:21.000 Oh, yeah.

00:53:25.920 Yeah.

00:53:27.820 Look, they got a black man in Colorado Springs.

00:53:31.820 So they send this dude.

00:53:33.320 Look.

00:53:34.260 Yeah.

00:53:34.600 Oh, yeah.

00:53:35.260 He talks now.

00:53:36.480 He talks.

00:53:37.580 Yeah.

00:53:38.820 Yeah. 0.95

00:53:39.620 So a black man can't be- 1.00

00:53:41.120 You're trying to pull the race car. 0.99

00:53:42.760 Yeah.

00:53:43.320 Yeah, I'm trying to pull the race car, boy.

00:53:44.980 So we got an Uncle Tom calling me, saying, I'm doing the race car, but he's hanging with this dude.

00:53:53.360 This is what it's all about, people.

00:53:56.200 He called me the race car.

00:53:59.200 We haven't called you anything, sir.

00:54:00.820 We haven't called you anything, sir.

00:54:02.360 Yeah.

00:54:02.860 No, sir.

00:54:04.680 I've asked you very politely.

00:54:06.220 What'd you ask me, sir?

00:54:07.080 I can't hear you.

00:54:07.420 Are you a guest of the hotel?

00:54:09.940 I can't hear you.

00:54:10.580 Say it again.

00:54:11.100 You heard me.

00:54:11.900 I couldn't hear you.

00:54:12.860 My, hard of hearing.

00:54:18.060 And then, brother here-

00:54:19.380 Are you going to be on TikTok or Facebook?

00:54:21.240 Which one is it?

00:54:22.000 He a brother.

00:54:23.280 Look, he a brother.

00:54:24.100 He a brother.

00:54:25.280 But he ain't with the light.

00:54:28.020 Saying I'm pulling the race car.

00:54:32.560 Look at the way this look.

00:54:34.580 He need a race car.

00:54:35.600 Now, as I said, that continues for 20 more minutes as Mark Curry, the victim, quote unquote,

00:54:42.700 becomes more and more belligerent, shouting and cussing at the hotel employees who are simply

00:54:46.480 trying to do their jobs.

00:54:48.040 Curry posted this video to Instagram along with the name of one of the hotel employees

00:54:51.220 and the hotel's phone number.

00:54:53.180 He sent an angry mob after the establishment.

00:54:55.320 Many prominent people joined in the mob.

00:54:56.900 Celebrities coming to Curry's defense, expressing their support for him during this difficult

00:55:01.160 and traumatic time.

00:55:03.880 And yet, anybody with ears and a brain to go between them can watch this and clearly

00:55:08.760 see that the bad guy in this scenario is Curry himself.

00:55:13.340 I mean, how morally deranged do you have to be as an individual to watch that and think

00:55:19.780 that the guy holding the camera is the good guy?

00:55:22.260 In fact, Curry's not only the bad guy, but he's also the racist one in the exchange. 0.90

00:55:28.020 He repeatedly mocks one of the hotel workers, who's also black, calling him an Uncle Tom, 0.88

00:55:32.460 making fun of the way he looks.

00:55:34.180 He is screaming racial slurs at the hotel staff while claiming to be the racism victim

00:55:39.000 in the conversation.

00:55:41.320 And all of this simply because he was asked if he was a guest at the hotel.

00:55:44.340 He could have answered and said yes, and the conversation would have been over.

00:55:49.060 That's all you had to do.

00:55:50.060 Instead, he turned this low-stakes, totally normal interaction into a 30-minute argument

00:55:55.440 and then turned the 30-minute argument into a national backlash. 0.79

00:56:00.080 That automatically makes him not only the bad guy here, but an a-hole of gargantuan proportions.

00:56:06.280 And the fact that he's doing all this to some random, low-paid service industry workers 0.96

00:56:10.360 only makes him even more of a sociopath.

00:56:12.660 By the way, I have at least twice in my life.

00:56:14.900 Okay, I'll go on the record.

00:56:15.960 Twice in my life at least, I have been approached by staff members at a hotel and asked a similar

00:56:21.220 question.

00:56:22.300 On one occasion, I was sitting in a hotel lobby, and I was asked whether I was a guest, and

00:56:26.300 the answer was no, because I was actually just there to steal their Wi-Fi, to be honest.

00:56:30.600 On another occasion, the answer was yes, I was a guest, and I was innocent of any crime.

00:56:35.340 On both occasions, I simply answered the question.

00:56:39.340 That's it.

00:56:39.860 I wasn't interested in getting into an argument with hotel employees.

00:56:42.820 I didn't see it as a publicity opportunity.

00:56:45.840 And even though I was slightly embarrassed on the first occasion, when I was essentially

00:56:48.720 thrown out, I had no desire to exact vengeance or send an angry mob after them.

00:56:54.440 Neither incident seemed important or interesting to me, which is why I never mentioned them until

00:56:59.640 just now.

00:57:01.640 It's true that hotel workers, in my experience, normally won't ask you what you're doing in

00:57:06.160 the lobby, but if you sit in enough hotel lobbies, you'll likely be questioned at least once or

00:57:10.560 twice in your life.

00:57:12.640 In Mark Curry's case, considering how shocked and offended he was, we can assume that this

00:57:16.900 was the first time he'd ever encountered this line of questioning.

00:57:21.340 So when he says, oh, black man can't go anywhere in America, well, according to you, you could 1.00

00:57:25.140 go anywhere, and you've never, this is the first time this has ever happened to you, which 0.69

00:57:27.700 is why you make such a big deal out of it.

00:57:31.320 Which means in the anecdotal comparison, by the way, I have had this experience twice as many

00:57:35.200 times as he has.

00:57:36.760 The only difference is that I don't have a reflexive racial filter to feed every experience

00:57:42.720 through.

00:57:44.180 So if somebody says something to me, whatever it is, I don't immediately think, hey, he

00:57:50.620 just said that to a white man.

00:57:52.860 I don't think that.

00:57:54.380 Instead, I think, hey, he just said that to me.

00:57:58.520 You see the difference?

00:57:59.360 Now, I am, of course, aware that I'm a white man.

00:58:01.840 I'm happy to be a white man because that's part of my identity.

00:58:04.320 I'm proud to be who I am.

00:58:05.760 But I don't solely think of myself as a faceless representative of a racial category.

00:58:12.200 When I walk about in my life and I'm operating and doing things, I don't think, I am a white

00:58:17.700 man doing all of these things.

00:58:18.880 Like I'm some sort of agent, some sort of PR rep for whiteness. 0.86

00:58:25.100 And so if I perceive myself to be treated unfairly in a given situation, I will not automatically

00:58:33.340 assume that the treatment was racially based.

00:58:35.620 I will cycle through any number of potential explanations.

00:58:39.020 First, I'll wonder if the individual just doesn't like me personally.

00:58:42.760 You got to think about that first.

00:58:43.920 Like it's if people are treating you a certain way, maybe they just don't like you.

00:58:49.340 Maybe it's you that maybe you're the problem or perhaps they're having a bad day or perhaps

00:58:54.820 they're simply incompetent or perhaps, you know, perhaps you weren't treated unfairly

00:58:58.540 at all or perhaps any number of other explanations.

00:59:00.720 And if there is specific evidence that I was the victim of racism, then I'll take that into

00:59:05.060 consideration.

00:59:06.580 I'm not going to rule it out.

00:59:08.840 But of course, it's not going to be my first assumption.

00:59:10.940 It's not going to be my first, last and only theory because I'm aware that I am more than

00:59:17.320 a racial category and so is the other person in the exchange.

00:59:20.900 And I'm aware that life is complicated and people are fueled by many different kinds of

00:59:25.040 motivations.

00:59:27.600 But race hustlers are conditioned or have conditioned themselves to see themselves as nothing more

00:59:34.500 than racial representatives and to see everyone else in the same light and to see every interracial

00:59:38.840 interaction as a contest between those racial categories.

00:59:44.680 That's why Mark Curry declared during that exchange that a black man can't go nowhere 0.85

00:59:48.540 in America because he sees himself as that, a black man, just that, just a black man. 0.94

00:59:54.020 Not Mark Curry, okay?

00:59:55.340 Not Mark Curry.

00:59:56.180 This isn't happening to Mark Curry.

00:59:58.380 They're doing this to Mark Curry.

00:59:59.580 He didn't say that.

01:00:00.180 It's simply a black man, just a generic black man. 0.99

01:00:04.880 It's not Mark Curry being asked to produce his room key. 0.93

01:00:07.560 It's a black man being asked to produce his room key.

01:00:11.500 That's how he sees it or pretends to see it because it is more profitable for him to see 0.82

01:00:17.420 life that way.

01:00:19.900 Indeed, Mark Curry has not had much success recently simply being Mark Curry.

01:00:24.700 Nobody cares much about Mark Curry or wants to hear his lame stand of comedy.

01:00:28.360 But when he becomes a black man, generically, that faceless representative of a racial category, 1.00

01:00:34.800 that's when he gets the attention he so deeply craves.

01:00:39.060 And that's what this is all about.

01:00:41.220 And it's why Mark Curry, who happens to be a black man, is today canceled.

01:00:47.880 And that'll do it for us for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:00:51.260 Hope to see you there.

01:00:52.020 If not, talk to you tomorrow.

01:00:53.520 Godspeed.

01:00:53.900 text play in character.

01:00:55.940 Hope to see you there.

01:00:56.800 We'll see you tomorrow.

01:00:57.620 If we can see you then.

01:00:57.880 We'll see you tomorrow.

01:00:59.760 Come on once.

01:01:02.100 See you tomorrow.
