The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1108 - Disney Serves Up A Heaping Pile Of White Guilt

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, Disney serves up some more historically illiterate white guilt,

00:00:04.480 teaching children that, quote, slaves built this country, and that's why we should start 1.00

00:00:08.200 doling out reparations. This is all completely wrong on many levels, and I'll explain why.

00:00:12.140 Also, a terrifying mob of morbidly obese insurrectionists invade the Oklahoma state 0.95

00:00:16.500 capitol to demand the right to mutilate and castrate children. And Tennessee moves forward 0.91

00:00:20.780 with its bill to outlaw sexual performances for children, a measure that Democrats in the state

00:00:25.480 call anti-LGBT. But what does that tell us? Finally, in our daily cancellation, I am forced

00:00:30.480 to cancel a right-wing commentator who has found yet another totally erroneous reason

00:00:34.740 to accuse me of racism. All of that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:01:37.760 better sleep starts now. One of the most uncontroversial pieces of marriage advice I can give is that it's

00:01:44.360 never a good idea to focus obsessively on the sins of the past. Even though this is a common mistake

00:01:50.940 that people make in romantic relationships, most people understand intellectually at least

00:01:54.380 that it's not productive or healthy to dwell on the slights that your spouse has committed

00:01:59.000 in the past or the hurts they caused you long ago. In an argument, as soon as you utter the phrase,

00:02:05.260 oh yeah, well, remember the time when you fill in the blank, you've likely destroyed any chance of

00:02:10.580 reaching any mutual understanding or worthwhile resolution. Once you bring ancient history into

00:02:15.940 the discussion, you've stopped having a discussion and instead turned it into a game of scoring

00:02:20.440 points. Everything is clouded now by resentment and grudges. Nothing is solved by your decision to

00:02:26.760 root through the past in search of ammo to use against your spouse in the present day. You've only

00:02:31.180 created more problems without doing anything to address whatever problem started the argument

00:02:35.900 in the first place. Often you've taken some small dispute and turned it into a much

00:02:40.220 bigger deal than it ever needed to be. So one minute you're squabbling because your wife gave

00:02:46.440 you a hard time about not using a coaster when you put your drink down on the coffee table.

00:02:50.300 The next minute you're rehashing an argument dating back to 2009. This is why it's best to move on from

00:02:57.340 what has already happened and already been hashed out and allow your marriage to exist in the present

00:03:02.820 moment where you both have control over the outcome. You cannot change the past. You only have power

00:03:09.400 over the present and therefore, to some extent, the future. Now, if this principle applies to marriages,

00:03:16.380 so too does it apply to much larger groups like, say, a nation. In fact, it applies even more to

00:03:22.480 nations than to marriages because at least the infractions committed by your spouse in the past

00:03:27.060 were actually committed by your spouse. Whereas the resentment that one group in a country

00:03:31.620 may carry against another group in the country will often stem from sins that were not committed by

00:03:36.920 anyone living today nor against anyone living today. I mean, it's one thing to hold someone's past sins

00:03:42.920 against them. Even that is often counterproductive and unjust, but it's an entirely different thing,

00:03:48.060 a much worse thing, to hold someone's past sins against someone else who had nothing to do with them.

00:03:54.560 Yet this is exactly the situation that the woke race hustlers have tried desperately

00:03:58.740 and with horrifying success to engineer. One of the reasons they've been so successful in stirring up

00:04:04.700 these resentments, keeping ancient wounds fresh and still bleeding, is that they start the resentment

00:04:09.840 building process very early, making sure to preach the grievance gospel to children from a very young

00:04:15.440 age. Case in point, the latest uber-woke episode from Disney's uber-woke children show, which is called

00:04:22.400 The Proud Family. Now, for a little bit of background, The Proud Family was originally a kid show on the

00:04:26.900 Disney Channel back in the early 2000s. It was canceled in 2005. And then in 2022, it became just the

00:04:33.060 latest reboot that nobody needed, nobody asked for, nobody wanted. The rebooted Proud Family,

00:04:38.700 which can be found now on Disney+, promises to be louder and prouder. And it certainly fulfills at

00:04:45.320 least half of that promise. A clip from a recent episode has gone viral over the past few days. And in

00:04:50.160 it, we are treated to what we're told is a rap or a song about the sinister origins of the United States.

00:04:57.020 And here it is.

00:04:59.060 This country was built on slavery, which means slaves built this country. Tilled this land from 0.99

00:05:06.480 sea to sea to sea. First there was rice, tobacco, sugar cane. Then Whitney did his thing and cotton 0.94

00:05:11.100 became king. And we were its soldiers. Four million strong. Fighting for America's freedoms even

00:05:15.780 though we remained America's slaves. Slaves built this country. The descendants of slaves continue to 1.00

00:05:20.700 build it. Slaves built this country. And we, the descendants of slaves in America, have earned reparations 0.84

00:05:26.340 for their suffering. And continue to earn reparations every moment we spent submerged in the systemic

00:05:31.500 prejudice, racism and white supremacy. That America was founded with and still has not atoned for. Slaves 1.00

00:05:38.020 built this country. Not only field hands, but carpenters, mazes. Blacksmiths, musicians. Inventors built cities

00:05:44.100 from Jamestown to New Orleans, Habanacus. Washington. 40 acres and a mule. We'll take the 40 acres,

00:05:49.780 keep the mule. We made your families rich. From the southern plantation heirs. To the northern bankers. To the New England

00:05:56.260 ship owners. The founding fathers. Former presidents. Current senators. The Illuminati. The New World

00:06:01.540 Order. Slaves built this country. We had Tubman. Turner. Frederick D. Then they say Lincoln freed the 0.99

00:06:06.900 slaves. But slaves were meant. And women. And only we can free ourselves. Emancipation is not freedom. Jim

00:06:13.220 Crow, segregation, redlining, public schools, feeding private prisons where we become slaves again. As we

00:06:18.660 celebrate Juneteenth. For the umpteenth time. Our account is still outstanding. Cause this country was built on slavery which means 0.89

00:06:25.940 slaves built this country. And we demand our 40 acres and a mule. Bump that. You can keep the mule. 0.92

00:06:32.660 Keep the 40. We're taking our freedom.

00:06:44.740 Just some nice wholesome children's content. That's why I'll stick with the bluey I think. 1.00

00:06:49.220 Okay. First of all. There's been some misinformation about the content of that clip. People are saying

00:06:56.180 that the Disney show featured a you know an anti-American song. Well that is anti-American

00:07:02.580 but it's not a song. It's literally just shrill voices chanting vacuous bumper sticker slogans without

00:07:07.620 rhyme or rhythm. Which I guess you know Sepp doesn't really separate it much from many other pop songs.

00:07:13.060 But as Martin Luther King would say we should judge woke propaganda by not by its shrillness but by

00:07:18.740 its content. The content here is ridiculous on multiple levels. So let's let's go through them. First 0.94

00:07:25.620 most importantly and it is really necessary that we emphasize the slaves did not build this country.

00:07:34.820 This country was built over the course of hundreds of years beginning long before it was a country.

00:07:40.260 The building started in the 1400s when the first European explorers sailed across treacherous and

00:07:45.060 uncharted seas to discover these lands. It continued with the European settlers in the 1500s and 1600s who

00:07:51.220 built a life for themselves in this unknown wilderness facing untold threats and for many of them certain

00:07:56.900 death. This country was built by the colonists and the American revolutionaries. It was built by 0.98

00:08:02.340 the pioneers who expanded the country from the east heading west out into a hostile wilderness

00:08:07.620 occupied by warring Indian tribes. It was built by war and conquest by discovery by diplomacy by industry.

00:08:15.460 It was built and then nearly undone by a civil war that killed 620,000 men.

00:08:20.660 Then built up again only to thrive once more. The country was built by the people who made it into 0.99

00:08:26.980 the world's great power in the 20th century who won world wars and brought about peace and economic

00:08:31.300 prosperity. It was built by many people over many centuries. And for a portion of that history,

00:08:38.100 some people in some parts of the country owned slaves. That certainly is not enough to justify

00:08:45.220 the claim that the slaves built the country. To make that claim is to erase nearly everyone who

00:08:51.140 really did build the country. It's to paper over America's actual history with your grievance-mongering

00:08:57.220 nonsense. Now, if the mere historical fact of slavery automatically means that the country was

00:09:04.020 built by slavery and forever is indebted to slaves and their descendants, then of course, 0.99

00:09:09.380 the same must be said about every nation on the planet. There is no race, no people, no nation

00:09:15.300 anywhere in the world who does not inherit the guilt of slavery, if indeed the guilt of slavery can be

00:09:22.900 inherited. As I will never tire of pointing out, the only thing that makes America's relationship

00:09:29.060 to slavery unique is how comparatively quickly we abolished it and the lengths we went to abolish it.

00:09:38.500 Western nations were patrolling the oceans to shut down the slave trade for many years,

00:09:44.820 while non-Western nations did everything in their power to continue the slave trade.

00:09:48.580 also, you notice something. You notice how I didn't use the word we when talking about the

00:09:57.220 people who did build the country. Okay? A great many of the pioneers and explorers and inventors

00:10:04.260 and warriors and statesmen and leaders, etc., who built the country were white. I mean, 0.97

00:10:09.460 most of them were white. That's the historical reality. It just is. And we certainly shouldn't be 1.00

00:10:16.100 ashamed of pointing that out or let ourselves be shamed into not pointing it out or denying it.

00:10:24.420 Yet, as a white person, I don't say we because we would include me and I didn't do any of those

00:10:31.940 things. I didn't come here on the Mayflower. I wasn't on the Lewis and Clark expedition. I didn't

00:10:35.940 fight in the Civil War. I didn't storm the beaches of Normandy. People who looked kind of like me did,

00:10:41.860 but I didn't. So I don't take credit for their achievements or claim their accolades,

00:10:49.060 just as I don't pretend to have experienced their suffering or felt their pain. I stand at the end

00:10:55.620 of this long line of triumph and sacrifice. I am its beneficiary. And so are you, whatever your race.

00:11:03.460 Yes. Yet in that Disney song, that's not really a song, we hear the word we being used. And this

00:11:11.860 is always the case with the race hustlers. They talk about the long ago sufferings of people they 0.94

00:11:16.420 never met and who they missed meeting by a century and a half. And they say we and us. But no, it's not

00:11:24.660 a we or an us situation because you were not enslaved. That didn't happen to you. It just didn't.

00:11:31.220 It may have happened to your ancestors. But if you go back a little further,

00:11:34.900 you may just as well find that your ancestors did it to others. See, this is the problem of trying to

00:11:41.060 claim your entire lineage as if it all happened to you, is that you cannot isolate this one

00:11:48.980 particular moment in your ancestry and take direct ownership of it, speaking about it as if you were

00:11:55.980 there without owning all of the rest of your ancestral history. A history that is guaranteed

00:12:01.980 to include brutality and impression inflicted on others by your ancestors, because literally

00:12:08.780 everyone's ancestors are guilty of that. Because that is the story of the human race, not the white race, 0.99

00:12:17.180 the human race. So, alternatively, you can choose to stand in the present, on your own two feet,

00:12:29.900 appropriating neither your ancestors' achievements, nor their sufferings, nor their sins.

00:12:35.740 You can be your own person, located in this moment of time, equipped with the freedom and luxury given to

00:12:46.140 you by those who died long before you were born. It's your choice, really. You've got two paths.

00:12:53.900 And one gives you a chance at living a happy and successful life. The other keeps you wallowing

00:13:00.540 pathetically in self-pity, obsessing over resentments that don't belong to you.

00:13:06.700 It's up to you. Now let's get to our headlines.

00:13:14.700 If the past couple of years have taught us anything at all, it's that in a crisis,

00:13:18.300 like a global pandemic or a natural disaster, even the basics can be really hard to come by.

00:13:23.100 You need to be prepared for anything. That's why my new partners at Jace Medical are so important,

00:13:27.660 and they are here to help. Jace Medical's mission is to empower you to be more prepared, better

00:13:32.940 medically prepared, especially even in the worst-case scenarios. A great way to start

00:13:36.620 is with the Jace case, a pack of five different courses of antibiotics that you can use to treat

00:13:41.180 a whole host of bacterial illnesses, including UTIs, respiratory infections, sinuses, skin infections,

00:13:47.740 and many more. All you have to do is fill out a simple online form, and in some cases,

00:13:51.340 jump on a quick call with one of their board-certified physicians. From there,

00:13:54.140 you can ask your physician treatment-related questions on an ongoing basis. Look, with six

00:13:58.540 kids, it's always good to be prepared for anything because I never know what will happen. Having the

00:14:03.420 Jace case on hand makes it easy for my family to be prepared for what life throws our way.

00:14:15.340 Okay, so the Post Millennial reports, trans activists gathered in the Oklahoma's capital

00:14:20.780 on Monday to protest legislation that would prohibit the sterilization and mutilation of children.

00:14:25.980 Trans lives matter, they chanted. The legislative session began in the state on Monday,

00:14:31.580 and lawmakers are expected to consider the Millstone Act, which would prohibit Oklahoma doctors

00:14:36.060 from providing gender transition procedures or referral services relating to such procedures to

00:14:41.260 anyone under the age of 26. Quote, the bill would further authorize the state's attorney general to

00:14:47.100 enforce the act, and those found guilty of violating it would be guilty of a felony and subject to license

00:14:51.740 revocation, says a release from State Senator David Bullard. Child abuse is a felony in our state,

00:14:57.820 and mutilating a young person's genitalia should be viewed no differently. The Millstone Act will hold

00:15:03.660 those who perform child mutilation accountable by making such activity a felony. Those guilty of such a

00:15:08.460 heinous crime will be both legally and financially liable, according to Bullard.

00:15:13.420 And 25 is a later cutoff than most bills in other states that are doing something similar,

00:15:20.460 but I think 25 makes a lot of sense for reasons that we've talked about, that your brain is not

00:15:26.220 fully developed. Your prefrontal cortex isn't really fully online, so to speak, until the age of 25,

00:15:31.260 which means that you don't fully have your capacities of discernment, long-term decision-making,

00:15:37.020 all those things haven't been fully developed yet. And so it makes sense that we wouldn't allow people to

00:15:47.820 cosmetically mutilate their bodies to this extreme extent before their brains have been fully developed.

00:15:55.420 So I think it's a great bill. And I also like that, now I don't, I, it's not in here,

00:16:01.660 so I'm not sure exactly why they call it the Millstone Act. But if that is a reference to the

00:16:07.820 millstone that suppose that Jesus says, you know, we would, you know, if you're, if you're rather than

00:16:13.820 harming a child, you'd be better with a millstone around your neck drowning and thrown into the sea.

00:16:18.060 Like if it's a reference to that millstone, then that's amazing. That's awesome. 0.92

00:16:21.740 It's my favorite name for a bill probably ever. During a state of the state address,

00:16:27.100 Governor Kevin Stitt said, send me a bill that bans all gender transition surgeries and hormone

00:16:31.260 therapies on minors in the state of Oklahoma. Stitt previously signed bills that ban biological

00:16:35.420 males from competing in women's sports and require sex segregated bathrooms and schools to remain 1.00

00:16:39.340 sex segregated regardless of a student's state stated gender identity. So this is the bill that

00:16:45.660 they're considering they're gearing up to pass and the trans activists in the state. And apparently

00:16:51.820 there are some trans activists in Oklahoma, uh, relatively sizable amounts of them. And as you'll

00:16:58.780 see, when I say sizable, you know, I mean that in a couple of different ways, but they stormed the

00:17:03.900 Capitol last night. Okay. They weren't just outside. They went into the building and we have a couple of

00:17:09.980 clips of that. Let's pull these up. They're, they're in the building. This is an insurrection.

00:17:26.780 February 6th is when this happened. A day that will live in infamy. We will all remember February 6th.

00:17:34.540 From here forward every February 6th, we should solemnly recall where we were when we heard about

00:17:42.620 this insurrection. Okay. This is worse than 9-11. This is Pearl Harbor and 9-11 combined.

00:18:04.540 We are Oklahoma. We are Oklahoma. What I would like to see. We are Oklahoma.

00:18:09.260 Okay. Can you, uh, pause it there? Pause it quick. There we go. Just keep that up.

00:18:14.940 Keep that, uh, gang behind me as I, as I discuss a few points here. Okay. So first of all,

00:18:22.540 everybody you see in this clip, they should all be arrested and thrown in federal prison because

00:18:26.540 that's what we do with, uh, insurrectionists, right? That's, that's what we're told people that

00:18:31.020 invade the Capitol, angry mobs. We throw them in prison and we do it without, without, uh, without

00:18:40.620 trial. They don't get any lawyers, throw them in solitary confinement. That's what we should do

00:18:47.420 because that's what, that's what we're told. That's supposed to be the reaction to this sort of thing.

00:18:52.540 Only if you're going to arrest them, you know, you need a lot of buses to handle all these people,

00:18:56.380 uh, because there's a lot of them. There are a lot of them as a group and as individuals,

00:19:01.420 there's also a lot of them because it is very interesting to me that these,

00:19:05.980 you know, I mean the, the average BMI I think in this group is probably hovering in the 40 to 50 range.

00:19:13.180 But as you can see, especially if you, with, with the other shot where it shows the whole crowd,

00:19:16.700 um, in spite of that fact, they are all being very healthy or many of them are being healthy to make

00:19:21.740 sure they have masks on. So morbidly obese, but they're, they're wearing their masks anyway for

00:19:26.540 the insurrection. And that is actually, you know, I pointed this out on Twitter that, that, you know,

00:19:31.740 this, this group here is tremendous. I mean, they're, they're, it's just, it's noticeable that

00:19:38.380 like everyone in the crowd is overweight. And that's a, that's a noticeable fact. And I pointed that out

00:19:44.140 and some people were offended and say, well, that's beneath you, Matt. That's beneath you.

00:19:49.180 How dare you make that observation? It's juvenile. Well, a couple of things, things about that.

00:19:57.900 First of all, even if I was simply just insulting them and degrading them just for the sake of it,

00:20:04.140 if that was my point to, to, to insult these people, well, they would deserve it. I mean,

00:20:10.620 there is nothing that I could say about these people that would be over the line

00:20:15.900 because what are they doing? They are storming the Capitol to demand the right to mutilate

00:20:27.180 and castrate and sterilize children. That's what they're doing. 0.99

00:20:33.660 Okay. These are child mutilating freaks and ghouls and goblins. 0.65

00:20:38.540 And so there's, there is no insult that I could throw at them that would be remotely inappropriate. 0.99

00:20:47.340 These people are evil to their core. And that's what I, I, I feel as though

00:20:53.980 there are many people out there who still don't fully understand this. Even, even the conservatives

00:21:00.380 who understand that we shouldn't be castrating children, I think that there's still this desire

00:21:06.380 to see these people as a, well, well, they're wrong, but they're well-intentioned. They're just

00:21:11.740 confused and they have a different point of view and, and that's all. This is not a different point

00:21:17.420 of view sort of situation. There are plenty of issues where we can disagree and you can have,

00:21:22.860 and you know, they're a, a, a well-intentioned and good person could fall on either side of it.

00:21:28.780 That's the case for many of the issues, including the kind of issues that we argue

00:21:32.380 about all the time in the country. You could be a well-intentioned and basically decent person

00:21:36.380 and fall on either side of the issue. Because well-intentioned and decent people can be wrong

00:21:40.940 about stuff. But I'm sorry, you cannot be well-intentioned and decent while

00:21:51.900 defending the castration, mutilation and butchery of children. That doesn't exist.

00:21:55.740 The physical and sexual abuse of children, because that's what all this is. And that's what they're,

00:22:01.740 and so these are terrible, awful people. And we should mock them and deride them and heap total, 0.98

00:22:08.940 utter contempt on them. And the message should be very clear that the position they are holding

00:22:15.180 is not acceptable. It is not an acceptable position in civilized society. You can hold the

00:22:22.220 position. We can't stop you. You're allowed to think and believe whatever you want.

00:22:26.700 But it's not acceptable. It's not tolerable. We're not going to tolerate it.

00:22:31.340 It's not valid. There's no validity to it.

00:22:33.740 And if you hold that position and you say it out loud, you have revealed something about your,

00:22:40.460 you know, the core of who you are. You have revealed that at your core, you are an absolute monster. 0.99

00:22:51.260 And that's how you should be treated. 0.99

00:22:52.460 That's what the leftist does, okay? And it's a very effective tactic, actually.

00:23:00.460 Like, no matter what they say, they treat us, no matter what we say, they treat us as monsters,

00:23:06.140 no matter what we say. But for them, it's performance. It's overcompensation.

00:23:13.180 Because they don't really have an argument, so instead they fall back on that.

00:23:17.100 The difference here is that this actually is monstrous. And so we should say that and be

00:23:21.660 clear about it. I have no respect for any of these people. And yes, they are fat, hideous,

00:23:28.860 ugly people, inside and out. The other thing, too, is that you do notice this about left-wing 1.00

00:23:36.940 activists. I mean, they are just ugly. I mean, they are hideous people. They really are. And that's a 1.00

00:23:41.420 phenomenon that I think is worth talking about. It's an interesting phenomenon, at the very least.

00:23:49.580 What I think is the ugliness in their souls seeps out of them and warps their physical exterior.

00:23:57.020 And these are also self-loathing people. You know, they hate the world. They hate themselves. They

00:24:01.660 hate humanity. They hate children. They hate everything. And so they don't take care of 0.96

00:24:06.140 themselves, as you can clearly see here. And if it were up to me, I really would arrest them all,

00:24:13.500 because fair is fair. I guarantee every single person in this picture, every single one in that

00:24:20.760 crowd thinks that the January 6th, quote, insurrectionists ought to have been arrested

00:24:27.660 as they were, rounded up and thrown in prison. Every single one of them believes that. And so the

00:24:31.520 same thing should happen to them. And if it was up to me, that's exactly what I would do.

00:24:36.140 Hold them to their own standards. If you can't live by your own standards, then that should tell

00:24:43.300 you something. All right. Moving over to Tennessee. Well, we've got the bill here in Tennessee,

00:24:53.220 which also is going to ban the castration and mutilation of children. There's another bill that's

00:25:00.780 making its way through the process right now to become law. And that is a bill to criminalize.

00:25:09.720 Well, what we're being told is that it criminalizes drag shows or drag shows for children, which it does.

00:25:17.400 But that's not what the bill is solely focused on. What the bill actually does is it criminalizes

00:25:22.820 sexual performances for children of any variety. Okay. So you can't hold any kind of sexual performance

00:25:29.200 and involve children in it.

00:25:31.100 Now, on the left and the Democrats in Tennessee, they have taken that to be an attack on drag

00:25:38.980 in particular, which like, what does that tell you? When you say, you know what, we should ban

00:25:44.860 sexual performances for children. And they immediately respond by saying, what? So you think

00:25:48.760 that drag should be banned? Oh, so you're admitting that this is a sexual performance for 1.00

00:25:53.140 children, huh? Anyway, WKRN, uh, here locally has a report on that. Let's watch that.

00:26:00.780 Capitol Newsroom now. Tennessee lawmakers discussed Senate Bill 3 today, also known as the bill to

00:26:06.160 potentially criminalize drag shows. The bill went before two different committees, including the

00:26:11.460 Criminal Justice Subcommittee. News 2's Chris O'Brien brings us inside.

00:26:16.060 The ice prevailed. The bill moves on. If you wish to be recorded as a no, please see the clerk.

00:26:20.280 In front of a packed house, the House Criminal Justice Subcommittee voted to advance a bill to

00:26:25.100 potentially criminalize certain drag shows. And we are fighting against a group of folks who

00:26:30.020 were set on hate, but really have no understanding of what this looks like in, in theory and in

00:26:35.880 practice. Multiple people testified against the bill, saying it unfairly reprimands the LGBTQ

00:26:41.040 community. Last week, I went to a drag show and I was forced to walk past a mob of masked men

00:26:46.060 with guns and swastikas to get into that drag show. But the sponsor of the bill,

00:26:49.880 Madison County Republic. That didn't happen. So that's a lie. That didn't happen.

00:26:53.640 A group with swastikas and guns. Do we have a video of that? Any pictures of that?

00:27:00.540 Whole group of Nazis with swastikas outside the drag show?

00:27:05.340 I mean, if there were any swastikas, which I highly doubt that actually happened,

00:27:09.960 it's almost certainly that that's gonna be the left that has them.

00:27:13.440 But, you know, that's almost certainly leftist agitators who are, you know, walking around

00:27:20.720 with swastikas so they can try to blame it on the right. They do do that. That's something that 0.69

00:27:24.560 they do on occasion. But most likely that was just made up. Anyway, continue.

00:27:28.980 Republican representative Chris Todd says his bill has nothing to do with drag shows.

00:27:33.040 And why are we targeting this one thing?

00:27:36.780 Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And so far, Mr. Chairman, the only person that's mentioned

00:27:40.120 anything about drag has been the representative from Knox County. I haven't said a word about that.

00:27:45.360 Republicans did have some concerns, particularly on the vagueness of the bill.

00:27:49.600 Tennessee's on Miley Cyrus at Bridgestone Arena.

00:27:52.820 Seen her there in the past myself. Would that cross the line?

00:27:57.420 Could she be subject to a pair of handcuffs based upon the vagueness?

00:28:03.040 Ultimately, that answer would depend on if this bill passes the full legislature.

00:28:06.340 For now, the bill rests with the full Criminal Justice Committee.

00:28:09.320 In Nashville, Chris O'Brien.

00:28:11.320 Yeah, I mean, you probably, okay, that's fine.

00:28:13.700 Now the full Criminal Justice.

00:28:15.040 Probably shouldn't bring kids to a Miley Cyrus show. 0.92

00:28:17.300 At least, maybe it was a Miley Cyrus show 15 years ago or something. I mean, one thing.

00:28:21.360 But in the modern, yeah, who would bring a kid?

00:28:24.700 Miley Cyrus, current day Miley Cyrus, you're gonna bring a, what, you're gonna bring a seven-year-old to that?

00:28:29.100 If that's the slippery slope here, where now all of a sudden you can't even bring kids to a Miley Cyrus show.

00:28:37.900 Okay, good.

00:28:40.960 What, how is that some sort of like horrifying dystopian reality?

00:28:46.520 Now, I think it's actually really easy, though, to distinguish between something like a drag show and, you know, a pop star musical performance.

00:28:59.340 It would be pretty easy to distinguish between those things.

00:29:01.380 And I think even in the language of this bill, it succeeds in doing that.

00:29:05.860 But my point is that, if you were to accept the slippery slope argument, I don't see it as a problem.

00:29:12.540 To have some basic standards of decency, especially as it pertains to content that, that where children are involved, that's, that's, yes, we should have that.

00:29:26.120 Historically in this country, we've always had that.

00:29:27.860 But it's only very recently where we've decided that, that, well, the government has no role whatsoever in enforcing any standards of decency at all.

00:29:38.920 Even when it comes to kids. 0.63

00:29:42.860 And so if the sexual degenerates and perverts want to expose themselves to kids all day long and have sexual performance of kids, there's nothing we can do. 0.97

00:29:50.380 Because if we were to do anything at all, next thing you know, we're in a handmaid's tale. 1.00

00:29:53.860 Like, it's only, it's only very recently that people in this country have become stupid enough to buy an argument like that. 0.95

00:30:00.200 Now, the, the reporter there in the, in the news article is not being honest. 0.95

00:30:07.100 What we hear is that, is that the sponsors of this bill claim that it has nothing to do with drag shows.

00:30:13.040 They're not saying it has nothing to do with drag shows.

00:30:15.060 They're saying it's not specifically outlawing drag shows.

00:30:18.480 What they're saying is it outlaws sexual performances for children.

00:30:21.660 And if there is a drag show that falls under that umbrella, then yes, it would be banned.

00:30:29.880 But this would also ban, for example, a burlesque performance with, with featuring women where children are invited would ban that too.

00:30:40.080 Now, you might point out that that's not really happening, that most of this stuff is involving drag.

00:30:46.940 But that only tells you something about the people that are putting on these shows.

00:30:49.680 That, that just tells you something about drag.

00:30:51.720 I mean, if, if, if the whole drag industry will come crashing down, if they aren't allowed to involve children anymore, well, then it sounds like the drag industry is, is, is one that should come crashing down.

00:31:05.460 And they continue to tell on themselves so much because they don't even, a bill like this that prohibits sexualized performances for children.

00:31:13.560 They don't, the left, they don't just claim that it's anti-drag.

00:31:18.500 They say that it's anti-LGBT.

00:31:21.940 So if you want a bill that says, um, you can't put on a sexual performance for kids, you can't like strip and tear your clothes off in front of kids.

00:31:32.220 You can't have, uh, you can't bring your sexual fetishes out and put on a performance featuring them for kids.

00:31:36.480 If you say that, then they say, well, that's anti-LGBT.

00:31:38.920 What are you saying about the LGBT community?

00:31:44.520 That if we tell you that you can't sexualize kids, that it's somehow, are, are you saying that this is a, that, that, that sexualizing children is a, is a central fundamental aspect of LGBT culture? 0.94

00:31:57.980 Is that what you're saying?

00:32:00.640 Because that would seem to be what you are saying if you are claiming that a bill banning the sexualization of children is anti-LGBT.

00:32:08.920 All right, something else here, uh, kind of an update to story from yesterday.

00:32:14.300 We talked about, of course, the, uh, satanic ritual at the Grammys and conservatives reacting to it, the way any normal sane person reacts to a nationally publicized satanic ritual.

00:32:24.260 Um, which is that, from, from, certainly this is the case for me, but from any other conservative that I've seen on social media or elsewhere or, or in the media, um, most conservatives said, well, this is disgusting and gross.

00:32:37.380 Many have pointed out, as I did, that although it's disgusting and gross, it's also tedious and boring.

00:32:42.200 We've, with derivative, we've seen this a million times.

00:32:44.300 So that's kind of been the reaction.

00:32:46.080 Um, I haven't seen anyone, like, running through the street, like, their hair's on fire, screaming and crying about it, exactly.

00:32:52.280 But people have objected, as they should.

00:32:57.900 And yet the left has launched into, and, and the left-wing media in particular has launched into their usual routine of, of making the story about our reasonable reaction, rather than about the thing that we are reasonably reacting to.

00:33:11.540 So just one brief example of this, of many, is from, uh, the website, the AV Club.

00:33:15.640 Um, and, uh, it, the headline is, Sam Smith wore devil horns at the Grammys, and conservatives are losing it.

00:33:23.460 The article continues, as similarly seen with Lil Nas X's Devilish Montero, um, in 2021, conservatives have their satanic panic panties in a twist over last night's performance from Sam Smith and Kim Petrus.

00:33:36.560 The two took the Grammys stage for a performance of their song, Unholy, which won the award for Best Pop Duo.

00:33:43.460 In addition to Petrus making history as the first out transgender woman to win the category, she and Smith stoked the flames of controversy with a fiery, hell-themed performance, much to conservatives' chagrin.

00:33:53.040 Boneheaded political abomination Ted Cruz added his two cents last night, calling the set evil. 0.79

00:33:58.500 Marjorie Taylor Greene also tweeted about the performance, fit with a Pfizer conspiracy, too dim-witted to even bother breaking down.

00:34:04.940 Um, aside from the blatant thematic ties to Unholy, Petrus, uh, says that the Red Lace performance was inspired by the duo's experience with religious institutions.

00:34:14.900 Petrus told Variety, I think a lot of people honestly have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool.

00:34:22.300 And I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanted to be a part of it, but slowly realizing it didn't want me to be a part of it.

00:34:27.580 So it's a take on not being able to choose religion and not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because as a trans person, I'm already not kind of wanted in religion.

00:34:37.740 So we were doing a take on that, and I was kind of Hellkeeper Kim.

00:34:42.280 Like the discussion around Lil Nas X and his strip tease with the devil, conservatives love to ignore storytelling context, opting to spout off nonsense about queer and trans artists peddling out Satanism and immoral lifestyles to, oh my, the children. 0.51

00:34:55.000 Okay, et cetera, et cetera.

00:34:57.520 Yes, those conservatives who absurdly, you know, with their conspiracy theories that these people are peddling Satanism as they literally dress as Satan and put on a performance that they admit was meant to resemble and therefore is a satanic ritual.

00:35:17.200 So they admit that's what they're doing, and then we notice it and say, look, they're doing a satanic ritual.

00:35:25.300 And then the media comes along and says, you conspiracy theorists claiming that it's a satanic ritual.

00:35:29.780 Well, I get so tired of this routine, this routine of intentionally trying to provoke people, and then when they're provoked, blaming them for being provoked.

00:35:42.540 And this is all, it's all meant to desensitize, and it's meant to convince conservatives that anytime something like this happens, what we should really do is say nothing at all and remain quiet and compliant and just be good little boys and girls and, you know, say nothing while the Satanists carry on with their BDSM-themed satanic performances.

00:36:09.120 That's what it's supposed to be.

00:36:12.500 That's how they want us to react, and there are some conservatives that that is how they react, and that's what they claim even after this.

00:36:18.560 There were some conservatives on social media who were saying, well, don't give them what they want and talk about this.

00:36:23.460 Just move on.

00:36:26.260 No, actually, that's not what they want.

00:36:29.220 Like, what they really want, yeah, I mean, if we talk about it, then they're going to try to use that to their advantage because that's how the game is played, right?

00:36:36.680 And they're going to try to use that to make victims of themselves and generate more publicity and all the rest of it.

00:36:44.520 But what they really want, most of all, is to be in a culture where they can carry on this way and nobody will object whatsoever.

00:36:53.880 That's what they're ultimately fighting for, is a culture that totally succumbs to this stuff.

00:37:03.340 And so if you remain silent and do not object, then you are helping them towards that end, which to me seems rather obvious.

00:37:11.700 Finally, as we've discussed on this show, you know, yesterday we talked about marriage and, you know, husbands and wives and what makes men happy, etc.

00:37:21.220 I think partly, you know, as a consequence of this conversation, there's this TikTok video that has gone viral showing, once again, another one of these, day-in-the-life TikToks.

00:37:32.120 And this one shows a stay-at-home husband.

00:37:34.720 We've seen one of these recently.

00:37:36.240 But this one somehow manages to be even worse.

00:37:38.920 And here it is.

00:37:41.700 Day one of being a stay-at-home husband.

00:37:44.340 Made us some tea and cuddled on the couch.

00:37:47.440 And then I started to pack her lunch before she went to work with all her favorite foods.

00:37:52.780 Snuck in a love note.

00:37:54.580 Drove her to work.

00:37:56.280 Came back to a mess.

00:37:57.460 Proof of me cleaning the mess.

00:37:59.660 Juice break.

00:38:01.800 Put away some leftovers from the night before.

00:38:04.500 Starting to unpack.

00:38:05.940 Met my wife at the train stop.

00:38:07.540 Had dinner together.

00:38:09.240 Packed her lunch.

00:38:11.700 Can't forget her snacks.

00:38:14.320 And sent her off to bed.

00:38:15.580 So, based on what I've been told, like, this is what women actually want, right?

00:38:23.440 This is what women are looking for. 1.00

00:38:25.920 The stay-at-home husband who will make them snacks and cuddle with them and, you know, waiting there like a puppy dog when they get home from work.

00:38:35.160 So, they can provide, you know, that's what women want, right? 1.00

00:38:39.120 To provide for a man who's sitting around at home waiting for her to get back.

00:38:44.040 That's what, that's what, that's what, it's, it's insisted that that's what women want and, in fact, it's insisted that women should want that and that, conversely, men should, should also want to live the life that we see there.

00:38:56.900 And yet, it's just, it's just not the reality in practice.

00:39:03.100 And we know that for a lot of reasons.

00:39:04.660 One of them, by the way, is that if you're, if, if this is the life that you choose, your chances of getting divorced are much higher.

00:39:12.660 In fact, when, when, when the, when a, even if both man and husband and wife are working, as soon as the wife earns more than the husband, divorce rates go up by 50%.

00:39:23.900 Okay, that's not my opinion.

00:39:26.700 That's just what happens.

00:39:28.920 And that, again, is, in most cases, where the husband's working.

00:39:32.180 Now, if the, if the wife is earning the most because the husband's not working any, earning anything because he's at home, then it's likely the divorce, divorce rates are even higher than that.

00:39:42.660 So, they're trying to shape our desires and tell us what we should want.

00:39:48.380 And yet, reality always has this way of just intruding inconveniently into that picture.

00:39:55.800 Now, let's get to our comment section.

00:41:02.480 Actually, here's even some more proof of the difference in the sexes. 0.89

00:41:08.380 Every day I'm confronted with the shocking reality that men and women are different. 0.61

00:41:12.480 Boys and girls are different.

00:41:14.640 So just yet another example.

00:41:16.100 My nine-year-old daughter was going to a sleepover on Saturday night.

00:41:19.540 We don't do a lot of sleepovers, but it's a good family.

00:41:24.480 They don't do phones or any of that with their kids.

00:41:26.960 None of the kids have phones.

00:41:27.740 We don't have to worry about that.

00:41:28.860 Just all around, we trust them.

00:41:30.200 So anyway, my daughter is heading out to her sleepover, and she's got this duffel bag packed with stuff.

00:41:38.180 I mean, the duffel bag weighs probably 55 pounds.

00:41:41.420 It would be, it's like if you tried to check it at the airport, you'd get charged an overweight bag fee for it.

00:41:47.200 And it's stuffed to the brim with supplies.

00:41:51.980 This is what she's bringing for one night.

00:41:54.820 The sleepover party started at like 4 o'clock, and she was back home by 8 in the morning.

00:42:00.900 That's a, what, maybe a 16-hour stretch.

00:42:02.920 She needed apparently 25 outfits and other supplies as well.

00:42:07.100 Doesn't include her pillow and sleeping bag.

00:42:08.620 Now, meanwhile, it's a difference in the sexes. 1.00

00:42:12.560 If we are going away on vacation for, let's say, a week or even longer, and we tell her twin brother to go and pack, which the last couple of times we've tried this.

00:42:26.620 It's like we have the kids pack for themselves, and then we'll say, well, go pack for the ship.

00:42:32.980 And her brother will say, okay, and he'll run upstairs, and he'll come back down in three and a half minutes with two T-shirts and a pair of sweatpants thrown into a plastic grocery bag.

00:42:42.140 And that's his plan for a week or longer.

00:42:44.700 That's all he needs.

00:42:46.480 So that's just one of the differences.

00:42:50.060 And, of course, I don't think she actually used most of the supplies or clothing that she brought.

00:42:53.000 But she did come home the next morning dead tired like a walking zombie and complaining that her friends were talking until, like, 2 in the morning, and it kept her awake.

00:43:01.660 And then they started singing songs from The Greatest Showman at, like, 1 or 2 in the morning, and she was complaining about this.

00:43:08.140 And I said, well, what do you expect?

00:43:09.560 It's a sleepover with a bunch of girls. 0.95

00:43:10.960 It's like this is, I assume, what happens.

00:43:14.480 Though I can't imagine how much talking must have gone on if it even annoyed my daughter, of all people.

00:43:20.520 All right.

00:43:21.120 Let's see.

00:43:25.220 Boundary Elephant says, interesting that Matt having a cold doesn't make him sound like someone with a cold.

00:43:30.360 It makes him sound like the AI-generated voice that Candace made.

00:43:35.440 Wayne Donald says, crazy that Matt Walsh with a cold sounds like the AI version of himself.

00:43:39.740 For all I know, this entire episode was a deepfake.

00:43:42.280 And, et cetera.

00:43:44.220 Like, 90% of the comments were making fun of my voice because I do have a cold and I'm, like, slightly losing my voice.

00:43:51.860 And there was part of me that hoped that maybe most of the audience would just be mature about it.

00:43:58.320 I know my voice sounds weird.

00:43:59.820 You don't have to point it out and make me feel self-conscious about it.

00:44:02.480 But then, at the same time, I realized that we wouldn't be the Sweet Baby Gang if you didn't all give me a hard time and mock me ruthlessly for how I sound.

00:44:10.900 It's what I would do.

00:44:12.920 I understand it's the right thing to do.

00:44:14.940 And so, it's all right.

00:44:15.980 Steve, the Grand Marshal, says, Matt, I agree with you on almost everything, but I disagree on the DiCaprio thing.

00:44:24.660 It's honestly just creepy that a 50-year-old man is dating a girl old enough to be his granddaughter.

00:44:29.700 Even if she's legally capable of consent, it's still very weird.

00:44:32.680 And, honestly, the power dynamic there is also concerning.

00:44:35.720 So, I don't think you disagree with me in that case because I never said that it's a good idea for a 50-year-old man to date a 19-year-old woman.

00:44:46.620 I never said it's a good idea.

00:44:48.460 What I said is that the feminists that are drawing a comparison to this and, like, child rape and child molestation, who are saying that he's a sex predator. 0.98

00:44:59.000 Okay, that's absurd. 0.98

00:45:00.340 That's my point.

00:45:00.980 And then, my second point is to observe the many contradictions that are present in this idea that a 19-year-old can't fully consent to dating Leonardo DiCaprio, but a 15-year-old girl can consent to having her breasts removed and all the rest of it we went through yesterday.

00:45:17.380 So, that was my point.

00:45:18.100 Now, so, does that mean that as a 50-year-old man you should go date a 19-year-old?

00:45:25.480 No, I don't think so.

00:45:26.920 I would never want to do that.

00:45:28.340 It's like the idea, I'm 36, and I would have, what would you even say?

00:45:32.300 What would you say to a 19-year-old?

00:45:34.840 I don't think I'd even have anything to talk about with someone.

00:45:37.200 I couldn't possibly relate to them on any level because it's not just the age gap.

00:45:42.480 I mean, the age gap is quite significant, but, you know, not all age gaps are made the same.

00:45:49.000 So, if you're 35 dating someone who's significantly older than you, that's one thing.

00:45:55.600 If you're 19 dating someone who's significantly older than you, it's just, you're, you're, because at 35, you're, you're, you've been an adult for a long time.

00:46:02.820 You, you're in a different place in life.

00:46:06.040 So, it's really about what, what, the place you are in life.

00:46:09.520 And so, it's going to make it really hard to relate.

00:46:11.000 Now, on the other hand, I would imagine that Leonardo DiCaprio is not dating these girls because he's looking for interesting conversationalists.

00:46:22.100 So, he's probably not as worried about the fact that he doesn't have much to say to them because that's not what this is about for him.

00:46:31.220 And it did, there's, there's one other contradiction here that I think other people have pointed this out.

00:46:36.520 But when you compare the left's reaction, not everyone on the left, but this is like, this is a, it's, this seems to be a feminist thing that's starting now where they, they take these Hollywood actors that date younger adults and try to turn them into sex predators. 1.00

00:46:50.620 But consider for a second, this, this point.

00:46:55.900 If Leonardo DiCaprio was paying this woman directly, and in a sense, he is because she's with him for the status and the money and the gifts and all the trips and everything.

00:47:09.600 And, and he's with her because she's a good looking, you know, younger woman. 0.63

00:47:16.040 And so, that's what they're getting out of it.

00:47:17.080 So, so it is like a transactional thing. 0.99

00:47:19.240 But if it was more direct, okay, if she was a prostitute, then, then this would be sex work. 1.00

00:47:27.480 And then, according to the left and the people that are complaining about it now, then everybody involved should be applauded for their open-mindedness, for their progressive open-mindedness. 0.83

00:47:35.940 And that's probably the most absurd contradiction of all, is that, is that, this is, I think, would apply to almost every single person that has tried to label Leonardo DiCaprio a sex predator for dating younger women.

00:47:49.880 If the younger woman, if the younger woman was a quote-unquote sex worker, was a prostitute, and he was directly paying her for her time and her company, then they would all be fine with it. 0.69

00:48:01.000 It's only because she's not a prostitute that they refused to applaud it. 0.88

00:48:07.880 You just, you can't get more backwards than that.

00:48:10.300 That this, that this relationship between the two of them would only be acceptable in their eyes if it was prostitution. 0.96

00:48:18.580 And because it's not, it's not acceptable.

00:48:20.180 My God, these people are just, you, you, you really, you cannot get more morally backwards than that.

00:48:26.960 Yosef says, Matt, amongst all this satanic evil, I wanted to let you know that your show inspired me to quit porn, an addiction I had since nine.

00:48:34.360 Nine years old, my God.

00:48:35.780 Find God and reconnect with an old girlfriend whom I plan on marrying soon.

00:48:39.120 Thank you for what you do.

00:48:40.140 Well, I love to hear that, Yosef.

00:48:41.560 And congratulations to you for getting your life together.

00:48:43.840 And then, let's see, finally, okay, J Stoss says, I thought Matt was going to cancel Maj Touré again.

00:48:53.480 I was really, really looking forward to it.

00:48:55.520 Well, if you're looking forward to it, then I have good news coming up.

00:48:59.200 As the sweet daddy of the sweet baby gang, one of my duties is to clothe you, give you proper gang paraphernalia to represent the gang,

00:49:07.620 just like the new Notorious SBG t-shirt in my swag shack over at dailywire.com slash shop.

00:49:12.860 It's a great new addition to the sweet baby album T-Line, which is all the fun of pop culture with none of the Satan worship.

00:49:19.620 So, to reiterate what I said yesterday, in spite of my God-given lyrical and rhythmic abilities,

00:49:24.720 I make no promises about spitting bars for the gang.

00:49:29.080 This is a subject that never even had to be broached at all, except it keeps being put into the copy.

00:49:33.940 At this point, you're better off using an AI program to rap for me, which I guess, like, probably you could just do that.

00:49:39.400 Have fun with whatever Pandora's box that statement just unleashed.

00:49:42.100 Head over to dailywire.com slash shop to get your Notorious SBG t-shirt today.

00:49:46.580 Also, guys, your lady loves you.

00:49:49.780 It means well.

00:49:50.460 But without the proper nudge, she just might not get you the right Valentine's Day gift. 0.94

00:49:55.860 She might get you something like a silly stuffed bear or a pair of boxers with her face on it. 0.96

00:49:59.840 And then you'll have to pretend it's what you always wanted.

00:50:01.700 How about you get something you actually want, like a Jeremy's Razors Valentine's Gift Bundle.

00:50:06.280 Now, just 30% off.

00:50:07.860 She'll love the price.

00:50:08.700 You'll love that it's not pink or covered in cartoon hearts.

00:50:11.920 It's the sappiest of holidays, of course.

00:50:14.320 But you can keep your masculinity intact with the new five-blade Sharpest Truth Precision 5 razor.

00:50:20.220 So you're, what, I guess you're buying this for yourself for Valentine's Day or you're telling her to buy it for you?

00:50:24.600 I don't know.

00:50:25.360 Growing your whiskers instead of shaving them like a true man should. 0.84

00:50:27.800 That's just the start of dropping hints that you want a luxurious Jeremy's Beard Kit.

00:50:32.340 Just make sure you do it fast so she orders today to arrive in time for Valentine's Day.

00:50:37.480 Send her to jeremysrazors.com to shop the 30% off Jeremy's Razors Valentine's Bundle.

00:50:42.220 You'll both be glad you did it.

00:50:43.640 Also, tonight, it's finally here.

00:50:46.420 We're not talking about the Uncle Joe State of the Union, which will no doubt be filled with mumble-mouthed lies about how inflation is actually good for us.

00:50:53.160 And self-congratulatory victory laps for sending us closer to World War III.

00:50:57.380 We're talking about the insightful and hilarious commentary from your favorite Daily Wire Plus hosts before and after the address.

00:51:02.580 Tonight at 8.15 p.m. Eastern, join me, Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Andrew Klavan, Candace Owens, and Jeremy Boring for a one-of-a-kind commentary experience.

00:51:10.680 We'll give you a fresh and entertaining perspective on the State of the Union.

00:51:13.220 And you can watch the whole thing on Daily Wire Plus.

00:51:15.280 So tune in for backstage tonight at 8.15 p.m. Eastern at dailywireplus.com.

00:51:21.280 Now, finally, let's get to our Daily Cancellation.

00:51:28.640 So today we have a repeat customer on our Daily Cancellation, as we must cancel alleged right-wing commentator Maj Touré.

00:51:35.560 You may remember Maj from his previous appearance in this segment five or six months ago.

00:51:39.380 He had become incensed when I made the point that slavery is not an exclusively white sin and that, in fact, all races practice slavery and were victims of slavery.

00:51:47.400 Maj did not want this truth to be acknowledged, and so he launched into a multi-day temper tantrum attacking me on various platforms and accusing me of racism.

00:51:55.820 I'm guessing his feelings will be hurt once again after the opening monologue today.

00:51:59.680 Ever since then, Maj has continued to look for any opportunity to whine about me, calling me a clown and a bigot and other insults, always in response to points that I've made that he then wildly and intentionally misconstrues.

00:52:12.260 Just last week, for example, Maj was posting Instagram videos and doing interviews on other podcasts and tweeting up a storm, furiously attacking me for suggesting that we should be tougher on crime in this country.

00:52:23.840 He was very offended by that, and he said that my advocacy for law and order makes me a neocon, which once again demonstrates Maj's unfortunate habit of using words without knowing what they mean.

00:52:34.460 And just a quick hint here, I'm an anti-interventionist who wants to suspend all foreign aid to all countries, so that alone precludes me from ever being labeled a neocon.

00:52:45.220 You might as well call me a vegan while you're at it if you're just gonna throw labels at me that are literally the opposite of who I am.

00:52:52.940 I've generally ignored most of Maj's crybaby fits.

00:52:56.020 In fact, I've never initiated any interaction with this guy in my life.

00:52:59.680 I've never intentionally tried to talk to him.

00:53:02.560 Prior to the whole slavery kerfuffle, I vaguely knew of him as sort of a right-of-center pundit and gun rights activist, and I would have considered him, in many respects, an ideological ally.

00:53:12.960 But sadly, Maj would prefer to use my name for clout and to take potshots at me as a means of building up his own platform and increasing his own name recognition.

00:53:22.240 As he sees it, there's no point in working with someone when you can get more clicks and retweets by tearing them down constantly.

00:53:30.020 And this is a, I have to tell you, a depressingly common occurrence in the right-wing media sphere in particular.

00:53:36.820 And it's one of the many reasons why conservatives so often lose.

00:53:42.600 All that to say, by acknowledging him, I will be giving him the attention he so desperately seeks from me.

00:53:48.380 And that's a downside of this.

00:53:51.600 I generally try not to feed the trolls, yet I can't help but make an exception in this case for reasons that may soon become clear.

00:53:57.820 So, late last week, a video went viral of a vicious assault on a school bus in Florida.

00:54:04.180 There was a large teenage boy along with a couple other seemingly smaller and younger boys.

00:54:08.680 And they can be seen viciously beating a nine-year-old girl as she sits on the bus.

00:54:13.340 And if you haven't seen the footage yet, it's very upsetting.

00:54:16.380 Fair warning, but here it is.

00:54:18.380 And they could have killed her. 0.99

00:54:40.460 I mean, you beat someone over the head repeatedly, and that's the way to kill someone. 0.69

00:54:45.260 They didn't, thank God, but they could have.

00:54:47.120 And they wouldn't have cared if they did, by the way.

00:54:50.600 Now, the attacker in the video has been arrested and will face charges, though there's no reason to think that he'll ultimately end up with anything more than a slap on the wrist, because that's usually the way these things go.

00:54:59.460 But the fact remains that the teenage boy beat the hell out of a nine-year-old girl a third his size.

00:55:05.560 It is a vicious, brutal, animalistic behavior and should be condemned as such, which is why I tweeted on Friday that these are, quote, children raised to be animals, because that's what they are.

00:55:18.220 Our friend, Maj Touré, he didn't like that very much.

00:55:20.700 In fact, big surprise here.

00:55:22.100 He once again decided that I was being racist.

00:55:24.020 Maj responded, so you know how these children were raised?

00:55:26.720 You know their parents? 0.98

00:55:28.220 No way that children do dumbass stuff on their own, even if raised right. 1.00

00:55:32.240 We definitely know they're raised to be animals. 1.00

00:55:34.500 Must be from the same racial jungle Biden talked about, shaking my head. 1.00

00:55:38.320 You're a clown. 0.99

00:55:40.540 Maj then felt the need to record a video where he reiterates some of these same accusations. 0.99

00:55:44.520 And here it is.

00:55:46.840 Said it before, we'll say it again. 1.00

00:55:48.760 Matt Walsh is a clown. 0.98

00:55:50.500 In response to that video that the children are on the school bus beating up on a nine-year-old girl that hit them first, overkill. 1.00

00:55:57.840 Dumb kids should be punished for overkill. 1.00

00:56:01.100 The kid did hit them first. 1.00

00:56:02.680 However, it's overdone.

00:56:04.180 All right? 1.00

00:56:04.740 Children being dumbass children. 0.99

00:56:06.380 But Matt Walsh's response in the quote tweet is, 1.00

00:56:09.180 Children raised to be animals, as if he knows the parents, as if he knows how they were raised.

00:56:15.600 And the thread is indicative of the same bigoted mindset that we're talking about. 0.82

00:56:20.920 This is not a conversation about a balanced approach to holding children accountable for doing dumb things. 0.99

00:56:25.980 This is a fake-ass dog whistle to, in essence, call black children raised to be animals, but you don't even know their parents. 1.00

00:56:32.960 Said it before, said it again, guys. 1.00

00:56:34.360 This clown, I guess, I guess those are the animals, right, that come from the same racial jungle that Biden said he didn't want his children to be a part of. 1.00

00:56:43.920 Absolute clown. 0.99

00:56:46.760 Now, the funny thing here is that Maj would later go on to tweet that the people criticizing him for the comments you just heard there from him are Karens who have a victim mentality and are crying racism. 0.98

00:56:59.460 Yes, that's right.

00:57:00.520 We're crying racism, even though that's what he just did.

00:57:03.720 You heard it.

00:57:05.220 But this is about the level of cognitive dissonance you can expect from the same guy who recently said that it's reductive to use the phrase all lives matter because you're stealing it from BLM, even as he has an entire line of merchandise with the phrase black guns matter.

00:57:18.320 So he can take the phrase for the purpose of monetizing it, but we can't take it for the purpose of emphasizing the value and worth of all human lives.

00:57:27.820 That's Maj Touré for you, but that's neither here nor there, I suppose.

00:57:30.740 As to the present controversy, there are a few points I need to make. 0.82

00:57:34.160 First, Maj, you say that I'm a clown.

00:57:39.200 Okay, but if I'm a clown, what does that make the grown man hanging out in my comment section? 1.00

00:57:45.380 See, there are plenty of people on the internet, people like, say, you, for example, who I think have nothing interesting or especially intelligent to offer, who I think are absolute idiots. 0.98

00:57:54.780 But the good thing is that I'm not forced to see or interact with their content, nor am I compelled to reply to everything they say. 0.99

00:58:02.540 So I guess my point is that if you really don't respect my point of view, if I'm just a clown as far as you're concerned, then, and I'm trying to put this as nicely as I can, piss off, dude. 0.98

00:58:11.960 Go live your life. 0.98

00:58:13.240 I release you from any obligation to be my reply guy.

00:58:16.320 In fact, you never had any such obligation.

00:58:19.020 So that's the good news.

00:58:20.100 Second, I never said anything about the races of the children involved.

00:58:24.120 It may shock you to learn this, but I am opposed to teenage boys of any race brutalizing nine-year-old girls of any race.

00:58:32.520 You know, you are the one who has once again found a way to racialize something while accusing everyone else of racializing it. 0.98

00:58:40.060 Because you're also a coward who can't stand on your own words. 0.98

00:58:43.380 And since you clearly do see this through a racial lens, and you've made it a racial issue, I must wonder whether you would be so desperate to minimize the actions of the assailants if they were white boys beating up a black girl. 0.99

00:58:57.180 After all, I mean, you must have some kind of motivation that would drive you to utterly humiliate yourself by using the she started it excuse.

00:59:05.600 Now, it's not at all clear from the video who actually did hit first.

00:59:10.060 First, and even if you did see a first hit in the video, that wouldn't tell you what happened right before the video started.

00:59:18.180 You see, videos almost always begin after the action starts.

00:59:21.640 Otherwise, there'd be no reason for anyone to be filming in the first place.

00:59:25.440 Okay?

00:59:25.920 Something happens.

00:59:27.340 Someone pulls out their phone, starts filming.

00:59:29.460 So the first thing you see in the video is not the first thing that happened, Maj.

00:59:33.180 But that's all completely and totally irrelevant.

00:59:37.960 There is no circumstance that would ever even begin to justify or minimize the brutal physical assault of a nine-year-old girl who is cowering with her hands over her head while being pummeled in the skull.

00:59:55.800 Okay, there are plenty of cases where the details about who started it really matter.

01:00:00.640 A fight between two teenage boys, for instance.

01:00:02.480 I think, in that case, it matters who started it.

01:00:05.700 But when a little girl in third grade is being pummeled over the head by a teenage boy, the question of who started it could not be less relevant.

01:00:13.720 And it's only brought up by someone looking to minimize the guilt of the assailant. 0.90

01:00:18.100 Of course, you do issue a half-hearted denunciation of the assault by saying that the boys were being dumb and simply overdid it when they repeatedly bashed a nine-year-old girl over the head. 0.98

01:00:28.980 No, Maj, that's not typical dumb kid behavior. 0.98

01:00:31.320 And it's not overdoing it. 0.87

01:00:33.200 To overdo something implies that there's a certain level of doing it that would be appropriate.

01:00:37.600 But when the it in question is the physical assault of a nine-year-old girl, there's no level that could ever be defensible, obviously.

01:00:45.040 Obvious to me, anyway.

01:00:47.260 Just like we don't condemn an arsonist who burns down a building by saying, well, he's overdoing it.

01:00:51.520 Because that would obviously imply that he's not necessarily wrong for setting fire to the building, but that the fire shouldn't have been as big.

01:00:59.560 In fact, overdoing it is exactly the sort of phrase you use when you don't want to fully condemn a certain action.

01:01:06.320 Which again raises the question of why you wouldn't want to fully condemn the savage physical assault of a small child.

01:01:13.620 Yes, I said savage.

01:01:15.740 You can cry about that too.

01:01:16.880 Hopefully, you know, this is also a question that you may ask yourself while looking in the mirror and wondering about the sort of man you've become.

01:01:27.180 Third, you're right that I don't know these boys' parents.

01:01:30.460 I don't know them.

01:01:32.340 From the looks of it, they probably don't know their parents either.

01:01:34.840 Certainly not their fathers.

01:01:36.300 And I can assume that because boys with good and attentive fathers, they don't beat the hell out of little girls.

01:01:42.680 Now, it's true that we as parents, we can't directly control everything our kids do.

01:01:46.740 Actually, in a literal and technical sense, we can't directly control almost anything they do, okay?

01:01:52.580 Because they aren't remote control cars or puppets on strings.

01:01:56.000 And if that's what we mean by control, like actually physically control their movements like they're drones or robots, that's not how it works with human beings.

01:02:04.520 They have free will and they act on their own volition.

01:02:06.840 As parents, it's maybe more precise to say that we influence our children for better or worse.

01:02:12.060 You may not be in a position to actively control your kid when he's on the school bus and you aren't even physically present, but your influence is present even when you aren't.

01:02:21.760 And if your teenage child is viciously assaulting a third grader, that certainly speaks, and speaks very poorly, to your parental influence.

01:02:31.140 My guess, which is based not on racist dog whistles, as you claim, but rather on a simple understanding of human nature, is that the boys in the video come from homes filled with violence and emotional and psychological chaos.

01:02:43.020 Children need moral formation.

01:02:45.020 Children need moral formation.

01:02:46.420 This is the most important kind of influence we can give them.

01:02:49.340 And refusing to take charge of that process of moral formation is a form of moral formation itself, which is really moral deformation.

01:02:57.900 There are many morally deformed kids running around these days, thanks to their morally deformed parents. 0.91

01:03:04.260 Now, if I'm wrong, and it turns out that the teenage boy who was brutally assaulting a nine-year-old girl actually comes from a loving and intact two-parent household where they eat dinners together and they go to church and they have family board game nights and so on, then I will admit that the boy is an exception to the rule.

01:03:22.000 Still wouldn't change the rule.

01:03:23.140 The rule which says that children raised to be decent human beings will generally become decent human beings, and those raised to be animals will generally become animals.

01:03:29.820 But I don't think this is an exception.

01:03:33.540 I really doubt that.

01:03:35.660 The only exception today is that I've broken my usual habit of ignoring you and your desperate cries for my attention.

01:03:44.240 A habit that I plan to resume once again starting right now.

01:03:49.060 This is all just a way of saying that Maj Touré is today, once again, canceled.

01:03:55.980 And that'll do it for this portion of the show as we move over to the members block.

01:03:59.000 Hope to see you there.

01:04:00.240 If not, talk to you tomorrow.

01:04:01.580 Godspeed.

01:04:01.900 Godspeed.
