The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1136 - You're A 'Fascist' If You Want To Know What Your Child Is Being Taught In School

00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, Republicans pass a bill intended to give parents the right to know what's going on in their child's school.

00:00:05.900 Democrats respond by claiming that government accountability and transparency is, yes, somehow fascist.

00:00:11.920 In our daily cancellation, a radio host in Boston provoked the fake outrage machine by accidentally saying a word that was once used as a racial slur 80 years ago.

00:00:21.180 All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:30.000 Inflation has consequences.

00:00:33.200 As the Fed raises interest rates to combat out-of-control government spending, long-term bonds have diminished in value, which is crippling the banks.

00:00:40.960 Depositors are holding their breath and investors are bailing on bank stocks.

00:00:44.500 Diversification has never been more important.

00:00:46.580 The recent surge in gold prices is directly tied to an extremely volatile market.

00:00:50.420 This is why gold has historically been a great hedge against the stock market and against inflation.

00:00:55.020 The only company I trust to help you diversify into gold is Birch Gold Group.

00:00:58.860 I've bought gold for Birch Gold because I want a safety net for my family.

00:01:02.740 And you can do the same by texting Walsh to 989898 to get a free info kit on gold today.

00:01:07.400 They'll help you convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA and precious metals, physical precious metals, with an A-plus rating, with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless five-star reviews.

00:01:18.760 Birch Gold is the company that I trust to protect my future and yours.

00:01:23.020 That's Walsh to 989898 today.

00:01:26.060 The Republican-controlled House of Representatives today passed the Parental Bill of Rights Act.

00:01:32.700 As House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has explained, the bill has five basic pillars or platforms.

00:01:39.120 Quote, the Parents' Bill of Rights has five pillars to ensure parents have the right to have a voice in their kids' education.

00:01:46.120 The right to know what's being taught in schools and to see reading material.

00:01:49.340 The right to be heard.

00:01:50.300 The right to see school budget and spending.

00:01:52.620 The right to protect their child's privacy.

00:01:54.440 And the right to be updated on any violent activity at school.

00:01:57.340 So essentially the bill would codify into law at the federal level your right as a parent to know what's happening while your child spends seven hours a day at school.

00:02:07.920 Because, you know, your child is not, when he goes to school, disappearing into the Bermuda Triangle at school.

00:02:15.440 At least that's not how it's supposed to be.

00:02:16.440 There shouldn't be any mystery about what he's doing or where he went or what he's being told and taught.

00:02:21.520 There should be no secrecy.

00:02:24.260 Public schools are government buildings.

00:02:26.120 They're funded by the taxpayers.

00:02:27.980 Transparency should be absolute and unequivocal.

00:02:31.740 And this shouldn't be remotely controversial.

00:02:35.000 The actual text of the legislation, of course, goes into greater detail about what exactly a parent has the right to know.

00:02:40.740 So here's a quick overview directly from the bill that just passed through the House of Representatives.

00:02:45.640 But we'll almost certainly not even get a vote in the Senate.

00:02:48.660 Unless we're probably going to take over in 2024.

00:02:52.360 So parents write to know.

00:02:54.380 A local educational agency receiving funds under this part shall ensure that each elementary school and secondary schools served by such agency posts on a publicly accessible website of the school or,

00:03:04.900 if the school does not operate a website, widely disseminates to the public a summary notice of the right of parents to information about their children's education as required under this act,

00:03:13.440 which shall be in an understandable format for parents and include, at a minimum, the right to review and make copies of, at no cost, the curriculum of their child's school,

00:03:23.340 the right to meet with each teacher of their child not less than twice during each school year,

00:03:27.680 the right to review the budget, including all revenues and expenditures of their child's school,

00:03:32.400 the right to a list of books and other reading materials available in the library of their child's school,

00:03:37.320 and inspect such books or other reading materials,

00:03:39.440 the right to address the school board of the local educational agency.

00:03:44.400 So obviously, that's what the bill does.

00:03:47.300 Whoever is opposed to the bill is taking the opposing position on all of those points, or at least some of them.

00:03:53.800 So to be opposed to this bill is to say that parents should not have the right to review the curriculum,

00:03:59.820 and parents should not have the right to know what books their children are being assigned,

00:04:03.740 and parents should not have the right to meet with the teachers and address the school board where their child goes to school.

00:04:09.960 Parents should not have the right to know what's going on at school.

00:04:13.040 Neither should they have the right to speak to anyone at the school or to anyone who runs the school.

00:04:17.860 This is the position of those opposed to this legislation.

00:04:21.700 But the bill covers more ground than just that.

00:04:24.240 It also gives parents the right to know if their child is being bullied at school,

00:04:27.520 or if the child has expressed suicidal thoughts at school,

00:04:30.580 or if the child has been caught with drugs.

00:04:34.400 And also this, quote,

00:04:35.760 Parents have the right to know if a school employee or contractor acts to

00:04:39.440 change a minor child's gender markers, pronouns, or preferred name,

00:04:43.640 or allows a child to change the child's sex-based accommodations, including locker rooms or bathrooms.

00:04:50.720 Again, consider the inverse proposition.

00:04:54.000 Consider what the opponents are saying.

00:04:57.020 Parents do not have the right to know if their child is suicidal,

00:04:59.780 or being bullied, or using drugs.

00:05:02.420 Parents do not have the right to know if their child is gender dysphoric,

00:05:06.120 or has started identifying as the opposite sex.

00:05:09.020 Parents do not have the right to even know what name their child is using.

00:05:14.480 They're saying the school employee should have more information about a child's mental health

00:05:18.900 than the parents have.

00:05:21.060 This is the actual position of the Democrats,

00:05:23.540 who took to the House floor yesterday to stridently oppose this bill,

00:05:26.940 using a range of tactics, of course,

00:05:29.400 starting, as always, with the trusty straw man approach.

00:05:34.140 Listen.

00:05:35.580 Extreme MAGA Republicans don't want the children of America to learn about the Holocaust.

00:05:42.540 Don't we want our children to be kind?

00:05:45.800 Don't we want our children to know that slavery was wrong,

00:05:48.640 as I fight against slavery today that still exists?

00:05:52.960 Don't we want our children to understand the basis of all of our history,

00:05:57.600 the mosaicness of this nation and African American history?

00:06:01.120 Don't we want teachers to get the salaries that they deserve?

00:06:04.140 Okay, so this bill apparently would stop schools from teaching about the Holocaust and slavery,

00:06:10.300 and it would somehow also prevent our children from being kind.

00:06:14.860 Well, you know, I read the entire legislation,

00:06:17.560 and I didn't find the language banning mentions of the Holocaust and slavery.

00:06:22.340 I certainly didn't find the anti-kindness provision.

00:06:25.440 That's because none of that exists.

00:06:27.180 Nobody is trying to stop schools from teaching about either of those things.

00:06:30.740 In fact, when it comes to slavery, my personal view and the view of many of the people

00:06:37.880 that would be labeled far-right extremists by these people is that much more should be taught about slavery.

00:06:44.640 Not only do I not wish to silence all mentions of slavery,

00:06:47.980 but in fact, I want a much more robust and wide-ranging slavery curriculum.

00:06:54.020 I mean, it is an important fact about world history.

00:06:56.940 Emphasis on world, world history.

00:06:59.160 You know, slavery is an important part of that, important part of that story.

00:07:03.660 The problem with the way that slavery is taught in school today is not that it is taught

00:07:07.820 or that too much is said on the subject, but rather that the lessons are intentionally narrow

00:07:12.800 so as to give the laughably false impression that slavery was a sin unique to white Westerners.

00:07:20.540 Kids should be taught the truth, that slavery was, you know, a ubiquitous institution

00:07:24.980 across the entire globe for millennia, that Africans kidnapped and sold each other into slavery,

00:07:30.120 that white Europeans were captured and sold into slavery themselves by Arab slave traders for centuries,

00:07:35.140 that Western powers abolished slavery and the slave trade long before much of the rest of the world did, etc.

00:07:40.400 All of this should be taught.

00:07:42.920 But leftists are the ones who don't want any of that mentioned.

00:07:47.700 They are the ones trying to censor the slavery conversation in schools.

00:07:51.660 As usual, they are guilty of the sin that they are accusing others of committing.

00:07:56.580 Many other Democrats rose to speak up against the bill.

00:07:59.180 Here's a squad benchwarmer, Pramila Jayapal, expressing her concerns about the bill.

00:08:05.140 Watch.

00:08:06.200 We're spending time on a bill that sows doubt about public education and our teachers

00:08:11.640 and also targets our very vulnerable trans kids who are absolutely no threat to anyone in this body.

00:08:20.340 Please understand that the provisions in this bill that out trans kids are cruel and dangerous.

00:08:27.440 I say that as a mom of a trans kid.

00:08:30.620 And I was very embracing to my daughter when she came out.

00:08:34.040 But not every family is.

00:08:36.240 The reality is 75% of trans kids experience discrimination and harassment.

00:08:41.180 So why do Republicans want schools to require outing LGBTQ students?

00:08:46.360 That does not make them better students.

00:08:49.360 Well, of course, she has a trans kid.

00:08:51.620 She may not dress very well, but a trans kid is one fashion accessory

00:08:56.180 that she certainly does have.

00:08:58.820 She says that the bill outs trans kids and outing a trans kid,

00:09:03.100 which is, of course, impossible to begin with because trans kids don't exist

00:09:07.080 because no child is actually trans.

00:09:09.880 But outing in this context means not keeping a secret from the parents.

00:09:15.340 It means that the parent will know what everyone in the school already knows.

00:09:22.180 Jayapal believes that there should be facts about a child, extremely important facts,

00:09:28.880 having to do with their mental health, that a child's peers should know,

00:09:34.140 all the friends know, all the kids know, and all of the adults in the school know,

00:09:39.300 but the parents don't know.

00:09:41.740 She wants to protect the rights of government employees, adults,

00:09:45.220 to conspire with children, to keep secrets from parents.

00:09:50.740 She wants the government and government employees to know more about the child

00:09:55.260 than the child's parents do.

00:09:59.880 And this is especially insidious when you consider the,

00:10:03.780 as they are so quick to always tell us about, which is true,

00:10:07.260 the sky-high rates of suicide and self-destructive behavior among trans-identified people.

00:10:16.120 Okay, being trans-identified is a major suicide risk, among many other things.

00:10:23.060 And you think the parents shouldn't know that?

00:10:27.420 Their child is at a high risk of suicidal thoughts and suicidal actions,

00:10:32.800 and you think they shouldn't know?

00:10:34.760 Well, this is the very essence of grooming.

00:10:41.000 Trying to, adults, trying to keep secrets from parents.

00:10:47.560 You know, very essence of grooming.

00:10:51.360 This is what we mean when we call them groomers.

00:10:53.660 And speaking of groomers, here's AOC.

00:10:55.600 They are asking the Republican Party to keep culture wars out of classrooms.

00:11:01.900 Our children need urgent and aggressive educational solutions.

00:11:05.040 The American Library Association coming out against this Republican proposal.

00:11:09.420 When we talk about progressive values, I can say what my progressive value is.

00:11:17.340 And that is freedom over fascism.

00:11:20.140 Thank you very much.

00:11:20.560 Gentlemen, this time has expired.

00:11:21.440 Now, we already know that these mental midgets will call anything they don't like fascism.

00:11:28.900 They demand that we come up with a precise definition of the word woke

00:11:34.260 while they drunkenly throw around the term fascism with reckless abandon, right?

00:11:39.660 Everything is fascist.

00:11:41.880 If you step on their toe accidentally, you're a fascist.

00:11:44.400 If you cut them off in traffic, you're a fascist.

00:11:45.900 Every statement they make is like Mad Libs, but every blank is filled in with the word fascist.

00:11:52.340 But think about the specific context in this case.

00:11:54.720 AOC is actually claiming that it's fascism for private citizens to be informed about what the government is doing.

00:12:02.600 She is a politician accusing citizens of fascism for demanding transparency from government institutions.

00:12:09.300 It is fascism for you as a parent to be informed about what the government is doing and saying to and with your child.

00:12:20.540 The non-fascist or anti-fascist approach by AOC is telling is for government institutions to take ownership of your child,

00:12:30.120 educate him in secret, teach whatever the state deems appropriate without any input from parents and taxpayers.

00:12:36.940 That is what she wants you to believe, because she thinks you're stupid, or she wants you to be stupid,

00:12:46.380 which, not incidentally, is also the goal of the public school system and also why, yet another reason why, we need a bill like this.

00:12:55.520 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:12:56.940 Using the internet without ExpressVPN, it's kind of like checking your baggage at the airport without a lock.

00:13:07.800 You think your stuff is safe, but how do you know for sure that no one is going to go through your personal items?

00:13:12.800 When you go online without a VPN, internet service providers, ISPs, you know, they can see every single website you visit.

00:13:19.000 They can legally sell this information without your consent to ad companies and tech giants who then use it to target you.

00:13:25.000 When you use ExpressVPN, your identity is anonymized by a secure VPN server, so ISPs cannot see your online activity.

00:13:32.760 Your data is encrypted for maximum protection as well.

00:13:35.860 I love ExpressVPN because it's incredibly easy to use.

00:13:37.840 I just fire up the app, I click one button, I don't need to understand how it works, it just does.

00:13:42.520 And then my phone, my laptop, even my Wi-Fi router, all are safe.

00:13:46.220 To keep my data private when I go online, I use ExpressVPN.

00:13:49.360 If, like me, you believe that your data is your business, secure yourself today with the number one rated VPN on the market.

00:14:06.220 Okay, more action in Washington, D.C. yesterday.

00:14:08.700 This is from The Hill.

00:14:09.560 It says, TikTok's chief operating officer blasted the house's hearing on the platform Thursday,

00:14:15.520 saying that it came from a place of xenophobia.

00:14:19.260 So there was a hearing on TikTok and the possibility of banning TikTok.

00:14:23.380 And surprising no one, TikTok has pulled out the xenophobia accusation.

00:14:32.720 Vanessa Pappas, who's the TikTok COO, wrote on Twitter,

00:14:36.680 we're committed to providing a safe, secure platform that fosters an inclusive place for our amazing, diverse communities to call home.

00:14:42.580 It's a shame today's conversation felt rooted in xenophobia.

00:14:46.740 Thank you to our employees who work tirelessly to protect our platform and community.

00:14:52.520 Oh, yes, poor TikTok, that, you know, multi-billion dollar social media conglomerate is now a victim of xenophobia.

00:15:02.080 TikTok CEO Shuzi Chu testified on Thursday in front of the House Committee on Energy and Commerce

00:15:09.240 as a bipartisan group of lawmakers grilled him on concerns of censorship and national security regarding the platform.

00:15:13.980 Representatives of the social media platform accused the hearing of being dominated by political grandstanding in a tweet on Thursday.

00:15:20.240 Quote,

00:15:20.420 Our CEO came prepared to answer questions from Congress, but unfortunately the day was dominated by political grandstanding

00:15:25.580 that failed to acknowledge real solutions already underway through Project Texas or to address industry-wide issues of youth safety.

00:15:32.240 Also not mentioned today by members of the House Commerce Committee,

00:15:35.140 the livelihoods of the 5 million businesses on TikTok or the First Amendment implications of banning a platform loved by 150 million Americans.

00:15:42.640 The hearing comes after the Biden administration demanded the Chinese-owned parent company of TikTok sell its shares or risk getting banned in the United States.

00:15:50.180 China said on Thursday it would resolutely oppose any forced sale of the app.

00:15:56.780 So I'm not even sure what the general feeling about this hearing has been in the public.

00:16:03.180 I haven't really paid attention.

00:16:05.100 I read just a few reports about the hearing and I saw some of the clips.

00:16:08.480 And honestly, I'm not impressed with anyone involved in this thing.

00:16:15.200 And in fact, some of what we heard there from the TikTok, you know, people is a political grandstanding.

00:16:21.780 Like they're obviously not entirely wrong about that.

00:16:24.240 The xenophobia stuff is ridiculous, but yeah, there was political grandstanding.

00:16:28.420 There's a lot of political grandstanding from the clips that I saw.

00:16:31.680 I mean, there were moments like this.

00:16:32.920 Watch this.

00:16:33.260 Do you agree that the Chinese government has persecuted the Uyghur population?

00:16:40.580 Well, it's deeply concerning to hear about all accounts of human rights abuse.

00:16:45.160 My role here is to explain what our platform does on this.

00:16:48.200 It's a pretty easy question.

00:16:50.520 Do you agree that the Chinese government has persecuted the Uyghur population?

00:16:55.860 Congressman, I'm here to describe TikTok and what we do as a platform.

00:16:59.060 And as a platform, we allow our users to freely express their base on this issue and any other issue that matters to them.

00:17:04.860 Well, you didn't answer the question.

00:17:07.580 All right.

00:17:08.360 I mean, yeah, he can't really answer that question because then when he goes back to China, you know, we're never going to see him again.

00:17:14.680 And that's not really like that's not relevant.

00:17:19.080 At all to the question of whether or not TikTok should be banned in the United States.

00:17:24.280 It's got nothing to do with it.

00:17:25.440 And there were a lot of moments like that, politicians looking for their viral moments.

00:17:30.040 And these hearings, it's always that.

00:17:32.400 It's like each politician is taking their turn and they have their little speech and they're looking for their moment.

00:17:37.580 And there were a lot of moments of, you know, they would ask a question and then the guy would start to answer it.

00:17:43.120 It's out.

00:17:43.500 No, yes or no question.

00:17:46.620 You know, because they don't really want an answer.

00:17:48.860 What they want is an opportunity to speak themselves.

00:17:52.180 And so a lot of stuff like that.

00:17:53.720 Now, don't get me wrong.

00:17:54.960 I'm not defending TikTok.

00:17:56.640 I mean, yes, ban TikTok.

00:17:59.000 Okay.

00:17:59.580 Ban it from the planet.

00:18:02.080 Shoot it into the sun as far as I'm concerned.

00:18:04.780 Sounds good to me.

00:18:05.740 I'm on board for that.

00:18:08.200 I guess just call me cynical here.

00:18:10.000 I don't believe anything will actually happen.

00:18:13.680 I don't believe that.

00:18:15.580 Hope I'm proven wrong.

00:18:16.800 I don't think they're actually going to do anything.

00:18:18.080 I don't think they're going to ban TikTok.

00:18:19.040 I think this is just, that's all it is.

00:18:21.160 It's an opportunity for this kind of showmanship.

00:18:24.160 And I've seen way too many of these hearings where politicians take turns, Republicans in particular.

00:18:28.900 I mean, Democrats do it too, but it annoys me more with Republicans because, you know, they're pretending that they're going to do something I actually want them to do.

00:18:34.400 And then they don't do it.

00:18:35.260 But I've seen too many of these hearings where politicians take turns, you know, putting their foot down and standing up for the American people.

00:18:43.120 And you got these great moments and they go viral.

00:18:45.680 Look at what he said.

00:18:46.500 And then nothing happens.

00:18:48.880 Nothing happens after that.

00:18:51.660 And I get the same sense here.

00:18:54.120 But hopefully I'm wrong.

00:18:55.420 But there's another point too, that much of the hearing was centered around issues of national security, you know, issues of, there were a lot of questions about does TikTok, you know, how much access does it have to the personal information of its users?

00:19:12.180 How much information is it, you know, does it keep a database of that information, all that kind of stuff?

00:19:18.600 And some of TikTok's defenders in this country have pointed out that, yeah, well, I mean, Facebook does that, Twitter does that, all these platforms do that.

00:19:28.480 You know, they're all like spying on us and saving our information and selling our information and doing God knows what else with it.

00:19:35.220 And that's true.

00:19:35.940 It's like every platform does that.

00:19:38.960 It's a greater issue with TikTok because TikTok is also a spy app, really, for the Chinese government.

00:19:44.680 And that's the problem.

00:19:45.360 But as far as I'm concerned, that is not the primary problem with TikTok.

00:19:51.420 I mean, the national security concerns are a major concern.

00:19:55.620 But for me, that's not why I want to ban it.

00:19:59.640 I want to ban it because the app is terrible for kids.

00:20:04.420 That's what I care about.

00:20:06.460 Okay.

00:20:06.800 Even if they were able to hypothetically, like, prove that this isn't being used by the Chinese government to spy on us and all that stuff is above board and everything's fine there.

00:20:14.700 I mean, they could never prove that.

00:20:15.820 But hypothetically, if they did, I would still want to ban it because that's not my main issue with it.

00:20:23.040 My main issue, again, is the effect it has on kids.

00:20:27.980 You know, TikTok is putting the spying stuff aside.

00:20:32.920 TikTok is a psyop by the communist Chinese to make our kids stupid and distracted.

00:20:43.040 You know, we've talked before about, I mean, TikTok in China is very different from TikTok here.

00:20:49.480 TikTok in China, kids are exposed to educational videos and stuff like that.

00:20:54.320 In this, here, it's not like that.

00:20:56.280 It's just nothing but stupidity and filth and, you know, loud noises and all of bright lights to distract them and just make kids dumber and more desperate for stimulation.

00:21:12.660 TikTok is not, like, all social media does that to kids and all social media is bad for kids.

00:21:17.680 But TikTok is especially bad, just the way that it's set up.

00:21:24.540 And it's also, you know, one of the most popular apps for kids.

00:21:28.480 So, it's hurting our kids, you know, and that should be enough of a reason.

00:21:37.560 Like, there's this idea that we need more of a reason than that.

00:21:40.440 We need to be able to say more about, like, it's very bad for kids.

00:21:44.960 So, I can say that.

00:21:46.940 And then the response is, well, what else, though?

00:21:49.820 I mean, why else should we ban it?

00:21:50.920 What do you mean, why else?

00:21:52.220 Why is that not enough?

00:21:54.660 That should be enough.

00:21:55.640 If there were actual constitutional rights in play here or at Jeopardy, then, yeah, it's not always good enough to just say, think of the kids, you know.

00:22:09.300 But there isn't.

00:22:10.580 What rights are on the line?

00:22:14.700 You ban TikTok.

00:22:15.740 Whose rights are you infringing on?

00:22:18.720 You're not infringing on the rights of anyone who uses the app.

00:22:22.540 I mean, there's no constitutional right to use TikTok.

00:22:26.600 And there are a million other social media apps out there.

00:22:29.680 So, whose rights are being infringed on?

00:22:31.660 The Chinese company of TikTok?

00:22:34.580 Is that who we're infringing on?

00:22:37.180 The Chinese, whatever it is, ByteDance?

00:22:39.500 The Chinese parent company, we're infringing on their right?

00:22:42.120 What right is that?

00:22:44.260 Do they have a constitutional right to create this app that's used in America by American kids?

00:22:50.900 So, no.

00:22:51.560 There are no rights at stake here.

00:22:54.900 And so then it really becomes a pretty simple, to me, it's not very complicated.

00:22:58.980 It becomes a really simple question.

00:23:02.080 Is this hurting kids?

00:23:04.480 Is it detrimental to the well-being of children?

00:23:08.160 Yes, is the answer.

00:23:09.560 And so, yes, let's ban it.

00:23:12.420 It won't hurt society.

00:23:13.640 Like, TikTok is banned.

00:23:16.240 In what way is society harmed by that?

00:23:19.660 Let's say we ban TikTok tomorrow.

00:23:21.580 Five years from now, what are the negative consequences of us not having TikTok?

00:23:28.740 All right, this is from the New York Post.

00:23:32.600 It says,

00:23:32.840 A Houston teen has been accused of slamming a mother of three into the ground during a jugging robbery that left the victim paralyzed.

00:23:39.940 And he appeared this week in court where he had his bond slashed in half to $100,000.

00:23:43.980 Joseph Harrell, 17, was ordered held last week on $200,000 bond following the harrowing caught on camera February 13th attack that left Noong Trong unable to walk.

00:23:55.060 She's the victim.

00:23:55.720 Prosecutors had asked for the $200,000 bond because he had just been released on $100 bond on January 26th on an unlawful carrying of a weapon charge.

00:24:05.060 But his court-appointed attorney argued Wednesday to have his bond reduced to $100,000, saying his family could not afford to spring him.

00:24:11.780 Well, good.

00:24:13.260 How is that not the answer?

00:24:14.900 Oh, his family can't afford to get him out?

00:24:16.820 Good.

00:24:17.760 We don't want him out.

00:24:19.740 Okay, yes, yes, keep him in the cage.

00:24:21.840 His attorney, Catherine Evans, says it was confirmed that bond conditions are in place that would place Mr. Harrell on 24-hour house arrest and require him to wear a GPS monitor should family members be able to post sufficient bonds at some point in the future.

00:24:35.560 Surveillance video shows Harrell had trailed Trong from a bank to a shopping center for 24 miles.

00:24:42.640 He then slammed her into the ground and stole the $4,300 in cash she had just withdrawn.

00:24:51.020 Prosecutors wrote, while on bond for unlawful carrying a handgun, Harrell stole money from and assaulted the victim, causing the victim broken ribs, a fractured spine, and paralysis from below the arms, which is serious bodily injury.

00:25:02.420 So she's paralyzed now, and they're now saying that she has a 50% chance of ever being able to walk again.

00:25:11.840 During the incident, Harrell and at least one of the suspects allegedly stole a woman's, or hold on a second, I skipped ahead.

00:25:17.800 In addition to the counts for aggravated robbery and unlawful carrying of a weapon, Harrell is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from another incident on February 25th.

00:25:26.320 During that incident, Harrell and at least one other suspect allegedly stole a woman's purse as she was leaving a business in southeast Houston.

00:25:33.360 The woman and her husband later tracked the suspects to a home using AirPods that were inside her purse.

00:25:38.480 After recognizing Harrell outside the home, the woman called 911.

00:25:41.660 While they were waiting for police, Harrell allegedly drove up to the couple and asked if they needed something.

00:25:45.460 When they replied that they didn't, he pointed a black handgun at the woman.

00:25:48.020 He's being held on a combined $130,000 bond for the aggravated robbery on February 13th, and the aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on February 25th.

00:25:57.080 So we've got here, what is that, three felonies?

00:26:00.540 Including violent assault and robbery that left somebody paralyzed.

00:26:06.120 And the response by the court system is to slash his bond in half to make it easier for him to get back out on the streets.

00:26:15.420 This is another one that is not complicated.

00:26:22.240 It's not complex.

00:26:23.580 There are not a lot of nuances to this.

00:26:26.040 This is someone who should be thrown in prison for the rest of his life.

00:26:29.060 I mean, at a minimum.

00:26:30.860 At a minimum.

00:26:33.420 Thrown in prison for the rest of his life, he should never see the outside of a prison.

00:26:36.740 It does not benefit.

00:26:37.880 What benefit is there in letting him ever walk outside of a prison cell ever again?

00:26:44.020 And like we're always talking about, any discussion of criminal justice reform, because I do believe in criminal justice reform.

00:26:51.720 I also think that criminal justice reform is desperately needed in this country.

00:26:57.100 The entire criminal justice system is right now hopelessly broken and needs to be reformed.

00:27:04.020 But the reforms need to go the opposite direction from what everyone is talking about.

00:27:10.100 And everyone, that includes Republicans.

00:27:13.680 That includes the Trump administration.

00:27:16.440 And the criminal justice reform, you know, that was pushed when Kim Kardashian was being invited to the White House to talk about criminal justice reform.

00:27:24.860 So this is something that everyone gets wrong, Republicans and Democrats.

00:27:30.700 The criminal justice reform should be putting more people in prison for longer.

00:27:36.400 That's the kind of reform that we need.

00:27:38.820 We need a lot more people in prison.

00:27:41.380 And that means we've got to build more prisons, fill them, and keep the people there for much longer.

00:27:48.140 And lots of them keep them there forever.

00:27:49.660 And then there should be another portion of people who we are letting out of prison, but they are getting out of prison because they're going to be buried in the ground because we're going to kill them.

00:28:00.120 We're going to execute them.

00:28:03.580 So that's the kind of reform we need.

00:28:05.740 We need reform that puts many more criminals in prison and many more criminals in the ground.

00:28:12.740 Because that's justice.

00:28:13.840 And if you actually care, if you have any compassion in your heart whatsoever, that is what you would be calling for.

00:28:21.440 As I said, it's really pretty simple.

00:28:24.420 It's a simple question of, you know, in this case, we have Harrell, the criminal.

00:28:30.400 We have Joseph Harrell.

00:28:32.080 And then we have the victim who's paralyzed.

00:28:34.060 Who matters more?

00:28:36.160 Who should we be more concerned about?

00:28:37.660 As a society, who should we be more desperate to help and protect?

00:28:47.720 The violent criminal Joseph Harrell, who just keeps on committing crimes because as long as he's out and free, he's going to be committing crimes.

00:28:57.000 So is it him or is it the victim who's now paralyzed?

00:29:02.320 Who do you have more compassion for?

00:29:04.700 Who do you sympathize more with?

00:29:07.660 Should be a simple answer.

00:29:11.020 All right.

00:29:12.200 Next, we have this from Fox News.

00:29:15.280 Health providers at U.S. military bases, some of whom are involved in treating military-connected minors,

00:29:20.840 blasted the idea of waiting before injecting kids diagnosed with gender dysphoria with puberty blockers and hormones.

00:29:27.440 The DOD provider said in a March edition of the American Journal of Public Health

00:29:31.500 that the only pathway for children and military members who present their gender dysphoria symptoms

00:29:35.660 is to immediately move towards gender-affirming health care, such as puberty suppression and affirming hormones.

00:29:42.000 The doctor said on the basis of human rights,

00:29:45.220 youths have an inherent ability and right to consent to gender-affirming therapy.

00:29:48.880 They went so far as to claim that seven-year-olds can make their own medical decisions.

00:29:53.060 Seven-year-olds.

00:29:53.960 The authors, David A. Klein, Thomas Baxter, Noelle S. Larson, as well as clinical psychologist Natasha Chauvet,

00:30:01.560 demanded the military train all of its providers on their ideas on gender medical interventions for minors,

00:30:06.840 despite acknowledging that 53% of the military-affiliated physicians' Department of Defense health system

00:30:15.300 indicated that they would refuse to prescribe hormones regardless of any training.

00:30:18.720 So now they're talking about these kinds of quote-unquote medical interventions for seven-year-olds,

00:30:30.100 which is, you know, totally unfathomable to any sane person.

00:30:41.220 Like, really, you don't have to be a parent.

00:30:42.540 You're just a sane person in general.

00:30:43.820 But if you're a parent who has a seven-year-old or has had kids that were seven,

00:30:52.040 the idea that these kids have any concept at all about what's good for them, what's right for them,

00:31:01.540 it is just unfathomable.

00:31:06.100 It truly is.

00:31:08.560 And indefensible.

00:31:09.780 But it's all part of the agenda, and we can't act like we're surprised where this is heading.

00:31:17.820 You know, they are saying, these are the Department of Defense,

00:31:20.840 and these doctors, so-called doctors, are saying that seven-year-olds have the mental capacity,

00:31:26.980 the psychological capacity and mental formation,

00:31:30.500 to consent to life-altering, life-changing medical decisions.

00:31:36.740 Okay, so this is their notion of consent that they are applying to very young children.

00:31:46.760 So, when, you know, this slippery slope only heads in one direction,

00:31:51.460 and we can't be surprised when it gets there.

00:31:54.460 Speaking of which, I want you to listen to this video.

00:31:57.040 This went viral a few days ago.

00:31:58.240 It's a video of a girl explaining her complicated gender dynamics.

00:32:05.240 Next, listen.

00:32:06.540 The thing that's complicated about my whole, like, gender situation,

00:32:09.640 and I feel like there are other non-binary people who deal with this too,

00:32:11.920 is the fact that the way I understand my gender,

00:32:14.400 and the way that I want other people to understand my gender,

00:32:16.460 are two wildly different things.

00:32:18.260 Because I, and certain people that I've talked to about this,

00:32:21.200 understand the nuances and complicated relationships that I have with womanhood,

00:32:25.580 so those are included when we think of me as a woman,

00:32:30.000 or, say, she, her.

00:32:31.660 Like, those weird relationships are still understood.

00:32:33.820 But almost everyone else, they don't have that,

00:32:35.480 so they don't get to call me those things.

00:32:37.260 To almost everyone else in real life,

00:32:38.760 I am not a woman, and I use they, them.

00:32:40.840 But then, because I will call myself a woman,

00:32:43.240 or use she, her,

00:32:44.620 understanding the nuances of it all,

00:32:47.300 I feel guilty when I feel bad

00:32:50.440 about getting misgendered by people

00:32:53.280 who should be using they, them,

00:32:54.920 and not thinking of me as a woman.

00:32:56.740 I mean, they're not wrong,

00:32:58.240 except they don't know they're not wrong.

00:32:59.860 They've been told I'm non-binary,

00:33:01.540 and I use they, them.

00:33:02.480 So why are they still thinking of me as a woman?

00:33:05.540 You know, on top of everything you just heard there

00:33:10.360 being totally wrong and deranged,

00:33:13.400 obviously,

00:33:16.640 the other big concern for me with all this stuff,

00:33:21.000 and anytime I see one of these TikTok videos,

00:33:23.840 it's just that it's such a useless thing

00:33:28.040 to be thinking about, okay?

00:33:31.400 That you have these young people,

00:33:33.440 millions of young people,

00:33:35.020 who are utterly obsessed

00:33:36.960 with this useless nonsense.

00:33:40.720 And so, just think about

00:33:41.840 all of the mental real estate

00:33:43.620 that's being occupied by this kind of thing.

00:33:46.840 When they're just sitting around constantly

00:33:48.920 pondering the mysteries

00:33:51.140 of their own gender identity.

00:33:54.380 And I'm this gender in this context,

00:33:56.640 but I want people to see me this way,

00:33:58.180 and I want to be perceived this way,

00:33:59.740 but I feel this way.

00:34:01.780 All of it is,

00:34:04.120 again, on top of being wrong,

00:34:05.420 it's just completely useless.

00:34:08.720 This is what you're spending your time

00:34:11.240 thinking about.

00:34:15.240 And I can't help but think about

00:34:17.600 all of the innovations

00:34:21.940 and inventions

00:34:23.700 and artistic ideas

00:34:28.000 and medical cures

00:34:29.940 that we aren't getting

00:34:31.680 because the people

00:34:33.360 who might have thought of them

00:34:34.880 were instead busy thinking about this.

00:34:37.540 That goes back to,

00:34:40.000 that's why I want TikTok banned,

00:34:41.340 is because of that.

00:34:44.040 Especially when you're young.

00:34:45.320 It's like the age range

00:34:48.220 that is particularly susceptible

00:34:49.760 to this kind of stuff.

00:34:53.140 This is also the age

00:34:54.540 when people are,

00:34:55.520 you're supposed to be

00:34:56.100 the most energetic

00:34:57.100 and creative

00:34:58.060 and innovative

00:35:02.000 and all of that.

00:35:05.220 But instead,

00:35:06.020 they're just totally lost

00:35:07.880 in kind of the maze

00:35:09.960 of their own self-obsessions

00:35:11.880 and they can't think

00:35:14.020 about anything else

00:35:14.960 because they can't,

00:35:16.020 they can't look forward

00:35:18.040 at the rest of the world.

00:35:19.780 They're not looking out

00:35:20.620 at the world,

00:35:21.080 they're just looking back

00:35:21.980 within themselves

00:35:22.720 all the time.

00:35:25.840 And not finding any clarity

00:35:27.400 about who they are,

00:35:28.500 but becoming perpetually

00:35:29.420 more confused.

00:35:31.320 Another good example,

00:35:32.080 here's someone who identifies

00:35:33.040 as a hawk, apparently.

00:35:36.020 My name is Horace

00:35:37.400 and I'm a red-tailed hawk.

00:35:38.980 In our world,

00:35:39.700 I do have the body of a hawk,

00:35:40.960 but while fronting,

00:35:41.640 I consider myself a Therian

00:35:42.840 because I am in a human body,

00:35:44.560 but my identity

00:35:45.180 is still a hawk.

00:35:46.600 Not all animal alters

00:35:47.840 will identify this way,

00:35:49.060 and I am, in fact,

00:35:50.120 the only animal alter

00:35:51.120 in our system

00:35:51.640 who does identify this way.

00:35:53.320 I am doing my best

00:35:54.260 to come to terms

00:35:54.920 with living in a human body.

00:35:56.200 So this is someone

00:36:01.520 who is pretending

00:36:03.120 to be trans species

00:36:04.640 and also pretending

00:36:06.420 to have a multiple

00:36:07.260 personality disorder,

00:36:08.340 which we've talked about

00:36:08.920 before on the show,

00:36:10.380 that thanks to TikTok,

00:36:12.200 that is also a big trend

00:36:13.720 these days.

00:36:14.420 You know,

00:36:14.660 it's very trendy

00:36:15.520 to have mental illnesses

00:36:16.360 in general,

00:36:17.100 and you get all these kids

00:36:18.620 that are, like,

00:36:19.220 constantly coming up

00:36:19.940 with new mental illnesses

00:36:20.680 that they have,

00:36:21.800 and they all want to have

00:36:23.180 at least a couple

00:36:23.720 mental illnesses.

00:36:24.340 They take a lot of pride

00:36:25.060 in being mentally ill,

00:36:26.420 and they invent,

00:36:27.540 you know,

00:36:27.820 and so one of the trendiest

00:36:29.640 mental illnesses

00:36:30.240 on TikTok right now

00:36:31.460 is multiple personality disorder,

00:36:33.480 which doesn't even exist, okay?

00:36:35.600 It doesn't exist.

00:36:36.940 It's been,

00:36:37.600 it was made up.

00:36:39.100 It's like,

00:36:39.520 it's this entirely fictionalized,

00:36:42.020 made up b****

00:36:43.460 that,

00:36:44.800 from the very beginning,

00:36:45.720 it's like,

00:36:45.980 yet another thing

00:36:46.880 we can thank psychiatrists for,

00:36:48.360 it's like coming up

00:36:48.920 with this concept

00:36:49.740 of some of the,

00:36:50.220 multiple personalities

00:36:51.700 trapped in their head

00:36:52.660 because they're trying

00:36:53.360 to sublimate,

00:36:54.720 you know,

00:36:55.540 traumas,

00:36:56.140 and they create,

00:36:57.200 it's just literally

00:36:58.800 like movie plot lines

00:37:00.000 that have been invented

00:37:00.860 by the psychiatric industry,

00:37:02.960 and multiple personality disorder

00:37:06.720 was very trendy

00:37:07.600 for a number of years,

00:37:09.380 and then it kind of

00:37:10.340 fell out of fashion,

00:37:12.080 and that tells you something,

00:37:13.240 by the way,

00:37:14.560 that certain mental illnesses

00:37:16.240 have fashionable periods,

00:37:18.900 you know,

00:37:19.080 mental illness has become like,

00:37:20.420 it's like jeans,

00:37:22.420 you know,

00:37:23.200 there are certain jeans,

00:37:25.020 styles of jeans

00:37:25.880 that are trendy

00:37:26.520 in certain,

00:37:27.100 you know,

00:37:27.320 certain decades,

00:37:28.200 and you can almost like

00:37:29.180 define a decade

00:37:29.980 by the kind of jeans

00:37:31.100 people wore,

00:37:32.440 and it's like that now

00:37:34.620 with mental illnesses.

00:37:36.580 So,

00:37:37.240 she's pretending

00:37:39.700 to be another species

00:37:40.520 and also pretending

00:37:41.240 to have multiple personalities,

00:37:43.220 and I guess from this

00:37:44.340 I'm getting that she,

00:37:45.480 so she has alters,

00:37:46.280 that's what they call

00:37:46.940 their other personalities,

00:37:49.740 and I guess

00:37:51.600 all of her other personalities

00:37:52.560 are animals,

00:37:53.400 I don't know if they're all hawks,

00:37:54.340 or if she's got other,

00:37:54.960 I'm not sure,

00:37:55.580 she's got like a whole zoo

00:37:56.540 inside her head,

00:37:57.360 she's got all these

00:37:57.940 different animals.

00:37:59.580 Now,

00:37:59.960 here's what I want you

00:38:00.500 to understand though,

00:38:01.060 when you see videos like that,

00:38:02.100 and I think people

00:38:02.580 oftentimes get,

00:38:03.720 oftentimes will get this wrong,

00:38:05.800 and I saw that video

00:38:06.960 being shared on Twitter,

00:38:09.160 and the reaction

00:38:11.020 from most people,

00:38:11.620 especially on the right,

00:38:12.440 is,

00:38:13.020 well,

00:38:13.340 you know,

00:38:13.700 we got a serious mental illness

00:38:14.760 problem in this country,

00:38:15.680 this is mental illness,

00:38:16.580 and these are people

00:38:17.780 that need,

00:38:18.340 you know,

00:38:19.140 severe therapy,

00:38:20.000 and maybe need

00:38:20.360 to be institutionalized,

00:38:21.600 and my point is

00:38:23.120 that actually no,

00:38:26.640 this is not even

00:38:28.320 a legitimate mental illness,

00:38:29.840 okay,

00:38:30.100 this is what you have

00:38:30.480 to understand,

00:38:31.180 this is not someone,

00:38:32.720 a girl you just saw there,

00:38:34.220 she is not actually psychotic,

00:38:37.100 she's not,

00:38:37.920 like,

00:38:38.060 is that what we think?

00:38:39.020 We think that mysteriously,

00:38:41.100 every,

00:38:41.380 we've got millions of people

00:38:43.120 all have gone psychotic,

00:38:45.960 and they all have these,

00:38:46.880 like,

00:38:47.200 what are they,

00:38:47.480 were they all born

00:38:48.040 with the mental illnesses?

00:38:48.760 How does that work?

00:38:50.720 No,

00:38:51.220 it's a,

00:38:51.460 it's a game,

00:38:52.360 it's like,

00:38:52.760 it is a,

00:38:53.420 it's a trend,

00:38:55.120 it's a game,

00:38:56.100 it's a performance,

00:38:57.540 it is a performance

00:38:58.820 that all of these kids

00:39:00.140 are engaging in.

00:39:02.880 That's what it is.

00:39:04.740 But then society

00:39:05.700 takes it seriously,

00:39:07.160 and then they take it seriously,

00:39:09.740 and then after a while

00:39:11.080 they start to forget

00:39:11.960 that it is a performance.

00:39:14.000 So it's a performance

00:39:15.140 that even they,

00:39:16.240 after a while,

00:39:16.780 take seriously.

00:39:17.940 And that's almost

00:39:18.560 all this stuff.

00:39:20.460 The mental illnesses

00:39:21.500 they're inventing

00:39:22.160 for themselves,

00:39:23.160 the,

00:39:23.320 you know,

00:39:24.200 the split personalities,

00:39:25.700 the,

00:39:25.940 the different genders,

00:39:28.420 the non-binary,

00:39:29.340 this and that,

00:39:29.880 it's like,

00:39:30.340 it's performance.

00:39:36.620 But it becomes,

00:39:38.300 it's performance

00:39:39.040 performance that becomes

00:39:40.740 a lifestyle.

00:39:43.420 Because society,

00:39:44.580 rather than saying,

00:39:45.660 okay,

00:39:45.900 stop being ridiculous,

00:39:46.960 okay?

00:39:47.560 This is what society's response

00:39:48.680 to someone like that.

00:39:49.700 It shouldn't be,

00:39:50.600 oh,

00:39:50.760 let's sit down

00:39:51.280 and talk about this.

00:39:52.440 No,

00:39:52.740 it's like,

00:39:53.100 cut the s**t,

00:39:54.780 but like,

00:39:55.140 be serious,

00:39:55.820 okay?

00:39:56.260 You're not a hawk,

00:39:57.400 all right?

00:39:58.640 Stop it.

00:39:59.860 That should be society's response

00:40:01.100 to that.

00:40:01.500 Just stop it,

00:40:02.380 all right?

00:40:02.720 Shut up.

00:40:03.220 Like,

00:40:03.360 go,

00:40:03.600 go get a job.

00:40:06.220 In a,

00:40:06.900 in a more healthy era,

00:40:08.620 that's how society responds

00:40:09.600 to that.

00:40:10.980 But instead,

00:40:11.740 we take it seriously

00:40:12.680 and,

00:40:13.320 and then they take it seriously

00:40:14.840 and then what should be

00:40:16.600 just kind of a trend

00:40:18.180 and a,

00:40:18.520 and a,

00:40:19.260 a fad

00:40:20.260 and a,

00:40:20.620 a phase

00:40:21.280 becomes a lifestyle.

00:40:25.760 And then after a while,

00:40:28.120 that's,

00:40:28.520 that's when maybe

00:40:29.620 it actually becomes

00:40:30.520 an actual mental illness.

00:40:31.880 It's almost like

00:40:32.340 a mental illness

00:40:33.040 that they've tricked

00:40:33.640 themselves into

00:40:34.500 and that we have,

00:40:36.880 as a society,

00:40:38.300 helped to,

00:40:39.540 uh,

00:40:41.360 form for them.

00:40:43.860 All right,

00:40:44.360 let's get to the

00:40:44.860 comment section.

00:40:46.000 Who saved Virginia

00:40:47.220 after leaving there

00:40:48.540 just for a day?

00:40:51.580 There's someone to thank

00:40:54.200 He leads a sweet baby gang

00:40:56.820 You know,

00:40:59.440 if you have a family

00:40:59.960 like I do,

00:41:00.500 you already have

00:41:01.360 plenty of things

00:41:01.980 to worry about.

00:41:02.600 In a worst case scenario,

00:41:03.640 you wouldn't want them

00:41:04.720 to worry about money.

00:41:06.320 Now,

00:41:06.420 we all hope that we'll

00:41:07.140 never need life insurance,

00:41:08.260 but mortgage payments,

00:41:09.220 child care,

00:41:09.580 and other expenses,

00:41:10.340 they don't disappear

00:41:10.900 when you're gone.

00:41:12.000 A good life insurance plan

00:41:12.980 can give you peace of mind

00:41:14.140 that if something happens

00:41:14.940 to you,

00:41:15.600 your family will have

00:41:16.500 a safety net

00:41:17.280 so they can get back

00:41:18.240 on their feet

00:41:18.660 and focus on

00:41:19.320 what's most important.

00:41:20.700 Paul's genius makes it

00:41:21.540 easy to compare

00:41:22.080 life insurance quotes

00:41:22.820 from top companies

00:41:23.520 and find your lowest price.

00:41:25.280 If you already have

00:41:26.120 coverage through

00:41:26.900 worker,

00:41:27.860 employer-sponsored

00:41:28.620 life insurance,

00:41:29.600 it may not offer

00:41:30.500 enough protection

00:41:31.180 for your family's needs

00:41:32.160 and it won't follow you

00:41:33.100 if you leave your job.

00:41:34.680 So Policy Genius

00:41:35.280 is here for the policy genius.

00:41:36.440 You can find life insurance

00:41:37.300 policies that start

00:41:38.100 at just $25 per month

00:41:39.700 for a million dollars

00:41:40.520 of coverage.

00:41:41.420 Some options offer

00:41:42.160 coverage in as little

00:41:43.060 as a week

00:41:43.620 and they avoid

00:41:44.200 unnecessary medical exams.

00:42:03.760 Janet says,

00:42:04.940 you would decry anything

00:42:06.600 Anna Kasparian says

00:42:07.880 because she's a woman

00:42:08.720 and your small brain

00:42:09.840 and inflated male ego

00:42:11.220 dictate that a woman

00:42:12.260 can never be smarter

00:42:13.120 than a man.

00:42:14.200 As for Giselle,

00:42:15.220 American athletes

00:42:15.880 are notorious

00:42:16.560 for their philandering.

00:42:18.040 How do you know

00:42:18.460 this was not her reason

00:42:19.300 for the divorce?

00:42:19.840 Oh, but wait.

00:42:21.020 In your Christian view,

00:42:21.940 a woman's duty

00:42:22.500 is to stand by her man

00:42:23.940 no matter how he fails

00:42:25.220 as a husband, right?

00:42:27.840 My only question

00:42:28.560 to you, Janet,

00:42:29.080 is you watch the show?

00:42:30.640 You watch this show?

00:42:31.920 I mean, you watch

00:42:32.380 the entire show

00:42:32.980 because you talk about

00:42:33.940 something from the beginning

00:42:34.540 and the end.

00:42:36.580 I mean, I'm glad you watch.

00:42:38.540 Thanks for watching.

00:42:40.420 But how?

00:42:41.820 How do you get through a show?

00:42:43.740 Is this the first one

00:42:44.740 you ever watched?

00:42:46.200 If it was the first show

00:42:48.280 you ever watched,

00:42:48.880 why?

00:42:49.140 Why'd you watch

00:42:49.620 the whole thing?

00:42:51.100 Again, I'm glad

00:42:51.760 that you do.

00:42:52.500 Like, you need to be exposed

00:42:53.620 to some common sense

00:42:54.560 in your life.

00:42:56.480 But it's just,

00:42:57.160 it's always amazing to me

00:42:58.240 when I read comments

00:42:59.400 like this from someone.

00:43:00.320 It's like,

00:43:00.540 if this is your mentality,

00:43:01.880 if you're the kind

00:43:02.380 of person

00:43:02.980 who would, you know,

00:43:04.800 use a phrase like

00:43:05.840 inflated male ego

00:43:07.140 and assume,

00:43:11.000 the kind of person

00:43:11.620 who would assume

00:43:12.220 that any criticism

00:43:13.080 of a woman

00:43:13.540 is automatically sexist,

00:43:14.440 if you're that kind

00:43:15.620 of person,

00:43:16.400 how can you even

00:43:17.800 make it through

00:43:18.700 an entire episode

00:43:20.080 of my podcast?

00:43:23.260 But, again,

00:43:24.460 I'm glad that you're here

00:43:25.780 and I'll tell you,

00:43:27.860 Janet,

00:43:28.320 what you need in your life

00:43:29.780 is some mansplaining.

00:43:30.940 You've not had

00:43:32.040 enough mansplaining

00:43:33.200 in your life

00:43:33.640 and now you're going

00:43:34.500 to get some,

00:43:34.920 so I'm glad that you're here.

00:43:36.000 Thanks for watching.

00:43:39.780 Lindsay says,

00:43:40.540 I want a whole hour

00:43:41.380 of SDW talking about

00:43:42.820 the greatness of space.

00:43:45.460 Well, I wish that

00:43:47.040 your opinion

00:43:49.460 was shared by everyone,

00:43:50.940 but there are also

00:43:51.380 a lot of comments

00:43:52.020 like this from Sarah

00:43:53.620 who says,

00:43:54.760 oh my God, people,

00:43:55.720 stop bringing up

00:43:56.380 aliens to Matt.

00:43:57.400 It's just like

00:43:57.860 with my grandpa.

00:43:58.980 There are certain subjects

00:43:59.900 you just don't bring up,

00:44:00.880 otherwise you'll be

00:44:01.360 stuck there for five hours

00:44:02.520 sitting on uncomfortable

00:44:03.440 plastic-covered brown couches

00:44:05.020 staring at the

00:44:05.580 shag carpet

00:44:06.120 and rethinking

00:44:07.020 all your life choices

00:44:08.000 while he drones

00:44:08.740 on and on and on.

00:44:11.920 You know,

00:44:12.240 I assume you didn't mean

00:44:14.020 that as a compliment,

00:44:14.820 Sarah,

00:44:15.000 but I sort of take it

00:44:15.920 that way.

00:44:16.620 So the experience,

00:44:17.600 we should put that

00:44:18.100 in the tagline,

00:44:18.780 like we need to send

00:44:19.400 that over to marketing.

00:44:20.620 The experience of

00:44:21.600 watching the Matt Wall show,

00:44:22.840 it is much like

00:44:23.580 listening to your

00:44:24.300 grandfather drone

00:44:25.620 on and on

00:44:26.280 while you sit

00:44:26.860 on uncomfortable

00:44:27.460 furniture

00:44:28.100 in a living room

00:44:34.780 with shag carpet.

00:44:35.580 like that's

00:44:35.960 that's what

00:44:36.380 listening to

00:44:37.120 the Matt Wall show

00:44:37.620 is like.

00:44:38.700 And I'm okay with that.

00:44:40.480 As I said,

00:44:41.160 I take that

00:44:41.980 as the highest

00:44:44.540 of compliments.

00:44:48.440 Sweet Baby

00:44:49.240 Soka says,

00:44:51.540 Matt,

00:44:51.800 maybe God made

00:44:52.380 this vast universe

00:44:53.120 so that we could be

00:44:53.740 humbled

00:44:54.080 at how small

00:44:55.180 we are

00:44:55.680 and not get

00:44:56.320 too cocky.

00:44:59.620 Yeah,

00:45:00.120 I mean,

00:45:00.680 sure.

00:45:01.220 I think that

00:45:03.120 that's part

00:45:03.560 of the effect

00:45:04.060 of living

00:45:04.400 in a vast universe

00:45:05.280 and I wouldn't be

00:45:07.220 and I am sure

00:45:08.360 in some ways

00:45:08.940 part of

00:45:09.380 the intention

00:45:11.320 behind it

00:45:11.800 but I also

00:45:12.500 just think

00:45:13.020 like

00:45:14.480 that's really

00:45:16.100 so the entire

00:45:17.220 universe

00:45:17.980 everything in the

00:45:19.060 universe

00:45:19.400 including all

00:45:20.500 the galaxies

00:45:21.040 that we can't

00:45:21.640 even like

00:45:22.100 see

00:45:22.840 you know

00:45:23.540 all of that

00:45:25.060 is only there

00:45:26.720 just

00:45:27.320 to humble us

00:45:29.140 it's just to like

00:45:29.760 keep us

00:45:30.260 better adjusted

00:45:31.300 and keep our

00:45:31.900 head on our

00:45:32.600 shoulders straight.

00:45:33.180 I can't help

00:45:37.080 but see that

00:45:37.640 as a

00:45:38.940 rather egotistical

00:45:40.320 view

00:45:40.860 of the universe

00:45:41.960 that's the only

00:45:44.060 reason it's all

00:45:44.860 there

00:45:45.140 maybe it's also

00:45:48.020 there

00:45:48.500 because there

00:45:49.960 are

00:45:50.200 there's

00:45:50.900 other life

00:45:51.760 that's being

00:45:52.280 harbored

00:45:52.780 I don't

00:45:53.320 you know

00:45:53.620 that doesn't

00:45:55.600 that's not

00:45:56.000 a view

00:45:56.620 that challenges

00:45:57.440 my faith

00:45:57.980 at all

00:45:58.300 that's one thing

00:45:59.240 I'm getting

00:45:59.540 from this

00:45:59.860 conversation

00:46:00.320 of course

00:46:00.860 is that

00:46:01.240 for a lot

00:46:02.020 of people

00:46:02.460 they feel

00:46:03.080 that it

00:46:03.440 challenges

00:46:03.880 and I think

00:46:04.520 that's really

00:46:04.880 what this

00:46:05.260 is about

00:46:05.780 I mean

00:46:05.960 it's clearly

00:46:06.280 what it's

00:46:06.560 about

00:46:06.720 for a lot

00:46:06.980 of people

00:46:07.220 that they

00:46:07.960 just think

00:46:08.420 that they

00:46:08.700 can't

00:46:09.320 entertain

00:46:09.700 the notion

00:46:10.200 that there

00:46:10.480 might be

00:46:10.660 other life

00:46:10.980 in the universe

00:46:11.440 because it

00:46:12.140 would challenge

00:46:12.600 their faith

00:46:13.260 and so

00:46:14.880 it's like

00:46:15.820 there's no

00:46:16.200 argument that

00:46:16.620 will get

00:46:16.800 through to

00:46:17.060 them

00:46:17.200 because they

00:46:17.500 feel like

00:46:18.480 they can't

00:46:19.060 believe that

00:46:19.540 they can't

00:46:20.160 accept it

00:46:20.680 they can't

00:46:21.520 I don't

00:46:23.300 have that

00:46:24.000 hang up

00:46:24.440 and I

00:46:24.760 still don't

00:46:25.680 understand it

00:46:26.100 people have

00:46:26.360 tried to

00:46:26.640 explain it

00:46:27.000 to me

00:46:27.160 I just

00:46:27.680 don't get

00:46:28.320 it

00:46:28.440 I really

00:46:29.820 don't

00:46:30.160 I don't

00:46:30.660 understand

00:46:31.360 how the

00:46:32.420 existence

00:46:32.720 of other

00:46:32.980 life in

00:46:33.220 the universe

00:46:33.480 would somehow

00:46:34.080 challenge

00:46:35.000 the notion

00:46:36.320 of God

00:46:36.880 why would

00:46:37.680 that do

00:46:38.220 in fact

00:46:38.540 there's another

00:46:38.880 comment

00:46:39.220 yesterday

00:46:39.760 that I

00:46:40.120 didn't get

00:46:40.440 to

00:46:40.540 but someone

00:46:40.900 said that

00:46:41.420 you know

00:46:43.720 if you

00:46:44.040 believe in

00:46:44.340 other life

00:46:44.640 in the

00:46:44.800 universe

00:46:45.060 then it's

00:46:45.620 because you

00:46:45.920 don't believe

00:46:46.280 in creation

00:46:47.000 you know

00:46:48.180 it's

00:46:48.520 you don't

00:46:49.400 believe in

00:46:49.800 what do you

00:46:50.520 mean

00:46:50.680 so if you

00:46:52.060 believe in

00:46:52.320 other life

00:46:52.700 it means

00:46:52.960 that you

00:46:53.120 don't think

00:46:53.400 God

00:46:53.640 created the

00:46:54.000 universe

00:46:54.240 why

00:46:54.920 that's

00:46:55.780 not what

00:46:56.000 I think

00:46:56.460 God

00:46:59.620 created that

00:47:00.140 life too

00:47:00.620 why is

00:47:01.040 that

00:47:01.240 why is

00:47:01.940 that

00:47:02.100 challenging

00:47:02.640 I don't

00:47:03.540 I just

00:47:04.040 don't

00:47:04.320 get it

00:47:05.060 all right

00:47:07.020 Ranger

00:47:08.440 one says

00:47:09.080 Matt

00:47:09.420 Matt

00:47:10.020 seems to

00:47:10.360 begin by

00:47:10.800 seeking the

00:47:11.260 most universal

00:47:11.900 and beneficial

00:47:12.500 principles

00:47:13.060 possible

00:47:13.580 such as

00:47:14.360 truth

00:47:14.640 clarity

00:47:15.040 the sanctity

00:47:15.560 of life

00:47:15.880 etc

00:47:16.200 and then

00:47:16.880 he builds

00:47:17.300 vast

00:47:17.680 complex

00:47:18.140 ideas

00:47:18.480 upon the

00:47:18.900 foundations

00:47:19.280 of those

00:47:19.760 principles

00:47:20.140 he can

00:47:20.660 discuss

00:47:20.980 any idea

00:47:21.440 openly

00:47:21.780 and doesn't

00:47:22.120 contradict

00:47:22.380 himself

00:47:22.660 in any

00:47:22.960 meaningful

00:47:23.240 way

00:47:23.520 because all

00:47:24.140 of his

00:47:24.320 ideas

00:47:24.540 emerge

00:47:24.840 naturally

00:47:25.280 from the

00:47:25.580 same

00:47:25.740 foundation

00:47:26.180 his

00:47:26.720 opponents

00:47:27.080 appear to

00:47:27.420 begin by

00:47:27.820 noticing

00:47:28.160 some

00:47:28.420 personal

00:47:28.800 desires

00:47:29.280 exist

00:47:29.800 and

00:47:30.300 construct

00:47:30.720 whatever

00:47:31.060 principles

00:47:31.440 are necessary

00:47:31.900 to justify

00:47:32.380 pursuing

00:47:32.820 it

00:47:33.020 pursuing

00:47:33.640 interests

00:47:34.020 based upon

00:47:34.500 moral

00:47:34.840 principles

00:47:35.260 that exist

00:47:35.720 only as long

00:47:36.380 as the

00:47:36.580 personal

00:47:36.840 interests

00:47:37.140 that they

00:47:37.460 serve

00:47:37.740 exists

00:47:38.080 is a

00:47:38.680 path

00:47:38.940 to

00:47:39.120 narcissism

00:47:39.680 suffering

00:47:40.140 or madness

00:47:41.040 knowing

00:47:41.880 this

00:47:42.160 anyone

00:47:42.440 who argues

00:47:42.960 with them

00:47:43.300 becomes an

00:47:43.760 enemy

00:47:44.000 to be

00:47:44.320 destroyed

00:47:44.720 well

00:47:46.700 that's

00:47:47.620 very

00:47:47.780 insightful

00:47:48.120 and that

00:47:49.500 also

00:47:49.900 you know

00:47:50.800 is a

00:47:51.200 good

00:47:51.400 way of

00:47:52.580 describing

00:47:53.000 the show

00:47:53.440 although

00:47:53.720 I sort

00:47:54.320 of

00:47:54.460 prefer

00:47:54.880 that I'm

00:47:56.420 just

00:47:56.580 someone's

00:47:56.940 grandfather

00:47:57.520 rambling

00:47:58.420 while they

00:47:58.880 listen

00:47:59.780 slightly

00:48:00.500 annoyed

00:48:00.800 either

00:48:01.940 way

00:48:02.200 I think

00:48:02.620 works

00:48:02.900 you know

00:48:03.840 I'll never

00:48:04.160 understand

00:48:04.760 virtue

00:48:05.300 signaling

00:48:05.700 making

00:48:06.080 yourself

00:48:06.400 look

00:48:06.720 important

00:48:07.240 with the

00:48:07.620 least

00:48:07.820 amount

00:48:08.060 of

00:48:08.180 effort

00:48:08.460 is like

00:48:09.060 the

00:48:09.340 reputation

00:48:09.980 equivalent

00:48:10.940 of stolen

00:48:11.640 valor

00:48:12.040 and reputation

00:48:12.880 is just

00:48:13.260 one of the

00:48:13.680 things

00:48:13.960 that Jordan

00:48:14.820 Peterson

00:48:15.060 discusses

00:48:15.580 with his

00:48:15.880 roundtable

00:48:16.460 group

00:48:16.780 of scholars

00:48:17.320 and theologians

00:48:18.000 in the latest

00:48:18.520 episode of

00:48:19.180 Exodus

00:48:19.440 check it out

00:48:20.040 I don't

00:48:21.260 think

00:48:21.460 when

00:48:21.640 we've talked

00:48:22.280 in our

00:48:22.620 culture

00:48:22.880 a lot

00:48:23.120 about

00:48:23.340 virtue

00:48:23.780 signaling

00:48:24.300 it's not

00:48:25.160 exactly

00:48:25.620 a great

00:48:26.100 phrase

00:48:26.400 because

00:48:26.680 really

00:48:26.980 what you're

00:48:27.380 trying to

00:48:27.760 do

00:48:28.040 when you

00:48:28.840 virtue

00:48:29.200 signal

00:48:29.620 is you're

00:48:30.060 trying to

00:48:30.780 acquire

00:48:31.480 reputation

00:48:32.240 that you

00:48:32.700 haven't

00:48:33.060 earned

00:48:33.380 and the

00:48:34.600 reason that

00:48:35.040 people are

00:48:35.380 so motivated

00:48:35.940 to do

00:48:36.280 that

00:48:36.480 is because

00:48:36.920 once you

00:48:38.260 can abstract

00:48:39.340 an ethic

00:48:40.700 there's actually

00:48:41.580 nothing that's

00:48:42.380 more valuable

00:48:42.980 than your

00:48:43.380 reputation

00:48:43.900 right

00:48:44.440 it's the

00:48:44.860 thing upon

00:48:45.420 which

00:48:45.780 all the

00:48:46.680 trades

00:48:47.060 that you

00:48:47.600 engage in

00:48:49.400 with everyone

00:48:49.860 else

00:48:50.140 depends

00:48:50.680 right

00:48:51.060 you're as

00:48:51.400 good as

00:48:51.740 your

00:48:51.880 reputation

00:48:52.380 and so

00:48:53.320 if you

00:48:53.920 can get

00:48:54.280 that falsely

00:48:55.080 it's a

00:48:55.420 real crime

00:48:55.980 and if you

00:48:56.380 can savage

00:48:57.080 it without

00:48:57.740 cause

00:48:58.420 it's an

00:48:59.060 equally

00:48:59.400 egregious

00:49:00.040 crime

00:49:00.380 and that's

00:49:01.300 why psychopaths

00:49:02.180 do it so

00:49:02.780 often

00:49:03.180 and so

00:49:03.620 narcissists

00:49:04.460 and criminal

00:49:05.360 types

00:49:05.620 to have

00:49:07.980 an ill

00:49:09.200 gotten

00:49:09.580 reputation

00:49:10.860 that's

00:49:11.400 bad

00:49:11.800 but to

00:49:12.600 take away

00:49:13.080 someone's

00:49:13.520 actually

00:49:13.980 earned

00:49:14.360 reputation

00:49:14.920 I know

00:49:15.580 that there

00:49:15.880 are no

00:49:16.100 certain

00:49:16.340 sense

00:49:16.660 it's a

00:49:17.160 battle

00:49:17.360 between

00:49:17.720 devils

00:49:18.340 two sides

00:49:18.920 of the

00:49:19.160 same

00:49:19.380 coin

00:49:19.680 well new

00:49:28.040 now let's get

00:49:28.900 to our

00:49:29.140 daily

00:49:29.360 cancellation

00:49:29.880 one of

00:49:34.640 one of the

00:49:34.780 perhaps most

00:49:35.420 unexpected

00:49:36.140 aspects of

00:49:36.960 wokeism

00:49:37.420 is that

00:49:37.740 it's

00:49:37.920 constantly

00:49:38.300 teaching us

00:49:38.940 new racial

00:49:39.680 slurs

00:49:40.200 that we

00:49:40.540 never knew

00:49:40.960 existed

00:49:41.440 and our

00:49:42.320 racial slur

00:49:43.360 vocabulary

00:49:43.860 increased yet

00:49:44.400 again this

00:49:44.940 week when

00:49:45.340 the woke

00:49:45.780 police

00:49:46.220 became

00:49:46.580 outraged

00:49:47.240 at Chris

00:49:48.180 Curtis

00:49:48.540 for calling

00:49:49.280 Mina

00:49:49.680 Kimes

00:49:50.320 a nip

00:49:51.040 quote unquote

00:49:51.820 now this

00:49:52.760 immediately raises

00:49:53.480 some questions

00:49:54.780 like who is

00:49:55.660 Chris Curtis

00:49:56.120 and who is

00:49:57.240 Mina Kimes

00:49:57.980 and what the

00:49:58.520 hell is a nip

00:49:59.100 I have no idea

00:50:00.640 who any of these

00:50:01.340 people are or

00:50:01.980 what the word

00:50:02.500 is supposed to

00:50:03.140 mean and I

00:50:03.580 suspect that

00:50:04.040 most of the

00:50:04.480 people outraged

00:50:05.240 or pretending

00:50:05.600 to be outraged

00:50:06.220 were similarly

00:50:07.320 clueless

00:50:07.960 but just because

00:50:09.420 they had no

00:50:09.860 idea what was

00:50:10.380 going on or

00:50:11.060 what was said

00:50:11.760 or who said

00:50:12.300 it or who

00:50:13.040 they said it

00:50:13.520 to or about

00:50:14.220 or why

00:50:14.860 that would not

00:50:15.780 stop them from

00:50:16.380 being deeply

00:50:16.960 traumatized by

00:50:17.820 the situation

00:50:18.460 whatever the

00:50:19.660 situation is

00:50:20.340 exactly

00:50:20.700 so let's try

00:50:21.640 to sort through

00:50:22.320 this earlier

00:50:22.740 this week

00:50:23.200 a sports talk

00:50:25.240 radio host on

00:50:26.020 W-E-E-I

00:50:27.040 in Boston

00:50:27.600 jokingly called

00:50:29.320 Mina Kimes

00:50:30.280 who is apparently

00:50:30.980 an ESPN

00:50:31.740 sports analyst

00:50:32.640 he said that

00:50:34.300 she's one of

00:50:35.020 his favorite

00:50:35.560 nips

00:50:36.080 now the joke

00:50:37.400 was made in

00:50:37.780 the context

00:50:38.280 of a conversation

00:50:39.080 about little

00:50:39.840 miniature bottles

00:50:40.860 of liquor

00:50:41.280 which are also

00:50:42.000 apparently referred

00:50:42.720 to as nips

00:50:43.220 I didn't know

00:50:43.560 that either

00:50:43.980 here's that

00:50:45.540 moment

00:50:45.940 begs the question

00:50:47.740 top five nips

00:50:48.820 oh yes

00:50:50.020 that's a great

00:50:50.600 one

00:50:51.060 because Dr.

00:50:52.400 McGillicuddy's

00:50:53.060 I think is

00:50:53.480 number one

00:50:54.320 or two

00:50:55.040 screwball

00:50:55.920 also up there

00:50:56.640 I'd probably go

00:50:57.160 Mina Kimes

00:50:57.880 and fireball

00:50:59.000 fireball

00:50:59.880 like I'm not

00:51:01.300 taking a tequila

00:51:02.020 you're right about

00:51:02.280 the McGillicuddy

00:51:03.020 but do you like

00:51:03.740 the purple

00:51:04.240 or the root beer

00:51:05.180 now Curtis

00:51:07.620 has since

00:51:08.300 clarified that

00:51:09.240 he meant to

00:51:10.860 make the joke

00:51:11.520 about actress

00:51:12.360 Mila Kunis

00:51:13.320 but he said

00:51:14.000 Mina Kimes

00:51:14.800 and he also

00:51:15.480 said that his

00:51:15.960 comment was

00:51:17.180 sophomoric

00:51:18.780 and sexist

00:51:19.660 which clearly

00:51:20.320 indicates that

00:51:21.120 his intention

00:51:22.100 was to make

00:51:23.200 a boob joke

00:51:24.020 okay

00:51:24.520 it was a

00:51:25.120 nips pun

00:51:26.020 that was supposed

00:51:26.460 to be a reference

00:51:27.180 to breasts

00:51:27.800 and even without

00:51:29.440 this clarification

00:51:30.060 that already

00:51:31.100 seems pretty obvious

00:51:32.700 from the context

00:51:33.860 but unluckily for

00:51:35.820 Curtis

00:51:36.100 it turns out

00:51:36.740 that nip

00:51:37.340 is also

00:51:38.680 an obscure

00:51:39.360 slur for

00:51:39.940 Japanese people

00:51:40.740 last used

00:51:41.660 sometime around

00:51:42.700 World War II

00:51:43.380 I have never

00:51:44.920 in my life

00:51:45.620 even one single

00:51:46.740 time

00:51:47.220 ever

00:51:47.800 heard that term

00:51:49.000 used in reference

00:51:49.640 to Japanese people

00:51:50.480 most of us

00:51:51.740 have never

00:51:52.080 heard it

00:51:52.520 oh and by

00:51:53.800 the way

00:51:54.600 Mina Kimes

00:51:55.880 isn't even

00:51:56.880 Japanese

00:51:57.360 she's Korean

00:51:58.360 so we're left

00:51:59.700 with two

00:52:00.020 possibilities here

00:52:00.740 okay two

00:52:01.300 possibilities

00:52:01.760 either

00:52:03.460 this radio

00:52:05.160 host

00:52:05.500 intentionally

00:52:06.160 decided to

00:52:06.840 commit career

00:52:07.460 suicide

00:52:07.960 by knowingly

00:52:09.440 using an

00:52:10.200 archaic

00:52:10.820 anti-Japanese

00:52:11.620 slur

00:52:12.060 last uttered

00:52:12.820 in 1945

00:52:13.640 during the

00:52:14.340 battle of

00:52:14.740 Iwo Jima

00:52:15.240 in reference

00:52:16.160 to a Korean

00:52:16.880 sports reporter

00:52:17.760 or

00:52:18.280 he was just

00:52:19.920 trying to

00:52:20.280 make a

00:52:20.580 dumb

00:52:20.860 boob joke

00:52:21.660 those are

00:52:23.020 the two

00:52:23.320 potential

00:52:23.800 explanations

00:52:24.480 here

00:52:24.780 and it's

00:52:26.020 quite obvious

00:52:26.680 which one

00:52:27.820 is the

00:52:28.040 most plausible

00:52:28.660 but in

00:52:29.000 these sorts

00:52:29.320 of situations

00:52:29.820 the most

00:52:30.200 plausible

00:52:30.520 explanation

00:52:30.940 is rarely

00:52:31.420 the most

00:52:31.740 useful

00:52:32.220 to the

00:52:32.940 victimhood

00:52:33.320 narrative

00:52:33.680 so the

00:52:34.020 outraged

00:52:34.400 mob

00:52:34.700 got to

00:52:35.560 work

00:52:35.820 pretending

00:52:36.200 to believe

00:52:36.700 that this

00:52:37.000 was an

00:52:37.260 attack

00:52:37.540 on Asian

00:52:38.080 people

00:52:38.500 pretending

00:52:39.140 to even

00:52:39.640 know

00:52:40.000 that the

00:52:40.280 word

00:52:40.440 was a

00:52:40.700 slur

00:52:40.880 to begin

00:52:41.220 with

00:52:41.480 pretending

00:52:42.080 to be

00:52:42.340 offended

00:52:42.680 pretending

00:52:43.160 to have

00:52:43.460 been

00:52:43.580 somehow

00:52:43.980 deeply

00:52:44.440 injured

00:52:44.920 by an

00:52:45.300 off-the-cuff

00:52:45.820 remark

00:52:46.200 made by

00:52:46.920 a radio

00:52:47.360 host

00:52:47.680 that no

00:52:47.940 one's

00:52:48.100 ever

00:52:48.240 heard

00:52:48.420 of

00:52:48.560 about

00:52:48.720 another

00:52:48.980 media

00:52:49.200 personality

00:52:49.780 no one's

00:52:50.720 ever

00:52:50.880 heard

00:52:51.100 of

00:52:51.380 there

00:52:52.240 were

00:52:52.380 calls

00:52:52.620 for

00:52:52.820 curtis

00:52:53.080 to be

00:52:53.420 fired

00:52:53.960 there

00:52:54.200 were

00:52:54.420 condemnations

00:52:55.140 being issued

00:52:55.720 denouncements

00:52:56.420 espn spoke

00:52:57.420 out other

00:52:57.900 sports media

00:52:58.440 personalities

00:52:59.060 chimed in

00:52:59.620 the whole

00:53:00.320 circus

00:53:00.840 of offendedness

00:53:01.880 commenced

00:53:02.380 the next

00:53:03.840 day as

00:53:04.180 expected

00:53:04.580 curtis issued

00:53:05.240 a groveling

00:53:05.880 apology

00:53:06.340 begging

00:53:07.300 forgiveness

00:53:07.860 from those

00:53:08.500 who were

00:53:08.740 hurt

00:53:08.980 and he

00:53:10.300 was then

00:53:10.600 set off

00:53:11.020 to sit

00:53:11.460 and time

00:53:11.780 out

00:53:12.000 and think

00:53:12.320 about

00:53:12.500 what

00:53:12.660 he'd

00:53:12.820 done

00:53:13.040 this of

00:53:13.720 course

00:53:13.880 is not

00:53:14.240 enough

00:53:14.480 for the

00:53:14.820 self

00:53:15.100 martyring

00:53:15.580 idiots

00:53:15.940 who are

00:53:16.260 pretending

00:53:16.540 to care

00:53:16.920 about

00:53:17.180 this

00:53:17.480 as

00:53:18.100 this

00:53:18.340 local

00:53:18.640 media

00:53:18.920 report

00:53:19.260 shows

00:53:19.760 they

00:53:20.080 still

00:53:20.560 intend

00:53:20.960 to milk

00:53:21.680 this

00:53:22.020 for whatever

00:53:22.960 it's

00:53:23.220 worth

00:53:23.520 watch

00:53:24.360 well a

00:53:24.940 Boston

00:53:25.180 sports

00:53:25.580 radio host

00:53:26.180 is off

00:53:26.560 the job

00:53:26.960 tonight

00:53:27.240 after using

00:53:27.880 a racial

00:53:28.420 slur

00:53:28.840 to describe

00:53:29.480 an

00:53:29.660 Asian

00:53:29.900 American

00:53:30.320 espn

00:53:31.100 reporter

00:53:31.560 weei's

00:53:33.200 Chris

00:53:33.420 Curtis

00:53:33.720 says he's

00:53:34.280 been suspended

00:53:34.860 for a

00:53:35.280 week

00:53:35.520 WBC's

00:53:36.680 Laura

00:53:36.860 Haifley

00:53:37.360 shows us

00:53:38.080 his apology

00:53:38.740 and what

00:53:39.660 made his

00:53:40.220 comment

00:53:40.660 so hurtful

00:53:41.520 I just

00:53:42.840 want to

00:53:43.000 pause there

00:53:43.340 for a

00:53:43.560 moment

00:53:43.740 because I

00:53:45.020 don't mean

00:53:45.980 to spoil

00:53:46.280 this

00:53:46.440 but I

00:53:47.260 can tell

00:53:47.720 you

00:53:47.980 what made

00:53:48.620 his

00:53:48.780 comments

00:53:49.100 so hurtful

00:53:49.700 and that

00:53:50.120 is

00:53:50.360 nothing

00:53:51.540 nothing

00:53:52.840 makes them

00:53:53.540 hurtful

00:53:53.980 because nobody

00:53:55.060 was hurt

00:53:55.580 by them

00:53:56.140 see

00:53:56.860 there are

00:53:57.560 two categories

00:53:58.280 of people

00:53:58.780 when it

00:53:59.060 comes to

00:53:59.360 situations

00:53:59.800 like this

00:54:00.300 in the

00:54:00.600 first

00:54:00.860 category

00:54:01.280 there are

00:54:01.680 normal

00:54:02.220 well-adjusted

00:54:03.380 human beings

00:54:03.980 with lives

00:54:04.640 to live

00:54:05.080 and more

00:54:05.380 important

00:54:05.680 things to

00:54:06.080 think about

00:54:06.440 and worry

00:54:06.760 about

00:54:07.060 and those

00:54:08.020 of us

00:54:08.240 in that

00:54:08.480 category

00:54:08.820 we don't

00:54:09.160 have the

00:54:09.440 time

00:54:09.720 or energy

00:54:10.160 or inclination

00:54:10.880 to be

00:54:11.160 offended

00:54:11.520 or hurt

00:54:12.000 by some

00:54:12.420 dumb

00:54:12.900 offhanded

00:54:13.800 joke

00:54:14.260 made by

00:54:14.720 some

00:54:15.080 guy

00:54:15.380 on some

00:54:15.800 radio

00:54:16.060 station

00:54:16.420 somewhere

00:54:16.840 in the

00:54:18.120 other

00:54:18.320 category

00:54:18.880 are

00:54:19.220 desperate

00:54:19.820 maladjusted

00:54:20.720 pathetic

00:54:21.180 ridiculous

00:54:21.780 losers

00:54:22.220 who have

00:54:22.600 nothing

00:54:22.960 interesting

00:54:23.420 going on

00:54:23.920 in their

00:54:24.100 lives

00:54:24.400 and have

00:54:24.620 achieved

00:54:24.960 nothing

00:54:25.320 and will

00:54:25.620 never

00:54:25.820 achieve

00:54:26.140 anything

00:54:26.500 and who

00:54:27.040 live for

00:54:27.400 the

00:54:27.520 opportunity

00:54:27.920 to play

00:54:28.360 the victim

00:54:28.740 waiting

00:54:29.080 for someone

00:54:29.480 to trip

00:54:29.880 up

00:54:30.120 and say

00:54:30.900 the wrong

00:54:31.280 things

00:54:31.600 so they

00:54:31.840 can swarm

00:54:32.480 and feast

00:54:33.060 like piranhas

00:54:33.780 devouring

00:54:34.260 a wounded

00:54:34.760 goat

00:54:35.140 waiting across

00:54:35.780 a river

00:54:36.120 but the

00:54:36.980 people in

00:54:37.320 that category

00:54:37.940 they're not

00:54:38.900 hurt either

00:54:39.480 quite the

00:54:40.260 opposite

00:54:40.600 they're excited

00:54:41.520 they're thrilled

00:54:42.300 they're like

00:54:42.800 ravenous

00:54:43.680 with hunger

00:54:44.300 ready to

00:54:45.380 devour

00:54:45.980 their next

00:54:46.920 victim

00:54:47.280 they're incredibly

00:54:48.380 grateful

00:54:48.980 that they've been

00:54:50.020 given another

00:54:50.760 fake grievance

00:54:51.720 so nobody

00:54:53.460 is hurt

00:54:53.960 not one person

00:54:55.300 on the planet

00:54:55.820 is hurt

00:54:56.400 that is who

00:54:57.580 is hurt

00:54:57.920 no one

00:54:58.840 not one person

00:55:00.000 anywhere

00:55:00.440 okay let's

00:55:02.100 continue

00:55:02.360 a ban

00:55:03.760 a ban

00:55:03.780 on miniature

00:55:04.360 liquor bottles

00:55:05.080 was proposed

00:55:05.800 Monday by

00:55:06.440 Boston City

00:55:07.060 Councilor

00:55:07.540 Ricardo Arroyo

00:55:08.580 garnering attention

00:55:10.040 from neighbors

00:55:10.740 and local

00:55:11.560 media outlets

00:55:12.380 including the

00:55:13.080 Greg Hill

00:55:13.600 radio show

00:55:14.340 on WEEI

00:55:15.680 the show's

00:55:16.440 hosts were

00:55:17.140 discussing the

00:55:17.760 ban using

00:55:18.580 the nickname

00:55:19.100 for the

00:55:19.520 airplane sized

00:55:20.440 bottles

00:55:20.900 when producer

00:55:21.480 Chris Curtis

00:55:22.160 appeared to

00:55:22.720 refer to an

00:55:23.460 Asian American

00:55:24.300 ESPN

00:55:25.140 journalist

00:55:25.780 Mina Kimes

00:55:26.580 in a racist

00:55:27.540 manner

00:55:27.980 it dragged

00:55:28.920 her into

00:55:30.320 a controversy

00:55:31.140 through no

00:55:32.480 fault of her

00:55:33.020 own

00:55:33.300 regarding a

00:55:34.840 slur

00:55:35.240 and her

00:55:35.880 race

00:55:36.340 Curtis was

00:55:37.000 suspended

00:55:37.480 by WEEI

00:55:38.840 I want to

00:55:39.400 apologize for

00:55:39.900 the stupid

00:55:40.500 lame attempt

00:55:42.000 at a joke

00:55:43.020 is it ever

00:55:43.760 clever to

00:55:44.740 be clever

00:55:45.500 at the expense

00:55:47.240 of somebody's

00:55:47.840 identity

00:55:48.220 Professor David

00:55:49.020 Howell teaches

00:55:49.640 Japanese history

00:55:50.500 at Harvard

00:55:51.100 so it's really

00:55:51.980 very much a term

00:55:52.920 that was used

00:55:53.480 during World War

00:55:54.240 II to refer

00:55:55.060 to the Japanese

00:55:55.860 when they were

00:55:56.760 the enemy

00:55:57.360 it's a classroom

00:55:58.180 or on the air

00:56:00.340 using a term

00:56:02.200 almost you know

00:56:03.980 makes it sound

00:56:04.500 like it's okay

00:56:05.520 to use the term

00:56:06.360 WBZ reached out

00:56:07.600 to the chair

00:56:08.080 of the Massachusetts

00:56:08.920 AAPI commission

00:56:10.180 Dr. Gary Chu

00:56:11.520 Let's not go back

00:56:12.600 to the past

00:56:13.160 and perpetuate

00:56:14.300 hate

00:56:15.100 especially AAPI

00:56:16.360 hate which has

00:56:17.020 been on the rise

00:56:17.740 not only in the U.S.

00:56:19.280 but also in

00:56:20.040 Massachusetts

00:56:20.500 and the city

00:56:21.100 of Boston

00:56:21.540 Dr. Chu

00:56:22.260 hoping for

00:56:23.020 accountability

00:56:23.560 from the radio

00:56:24.340 host and more

00:56:25.360 representation

00:56:25.920 moving forward

00:56:27.160 Anytime we can

00:56:28.720 denounce things

00:56:29.520 like that

00:56:30.080 will help

00:56:31.400 we're working

00:56:32.340 to talk about

00:56:33.660 all these issues

00:56:34.520 providing resources

00:56:35.960 to elevate the

00:56:37.340 messages of what

00:56:38.460 is going on

00:56:39.300 so that everyone

00:56:40.300 understands the

00:56:41.380 diversity of the

00:56:43.020 Asian American

00:56:43.700 and Pacific Islander

00:56:45.900 populations

00:56:46.480 We did reach out

00:56:47.640 to ESPN

00:56:48.340 who called the

00:56:49.000 comments hateful

00:56:50.100 and extremely

00:56:50.700 offensive

00:56:51.200 we also reached

00:56:52.240 out to Odyssey

00:56:53.020 the owner of

00:56:53.980 WEEI

00:56:55.100 they did not

00:56:55.720 immediately

00:56:56.360 give back to us

00:56:57.640 in Brighton

00:56:58.400 Laura Haefeli

00:56:59.040 WBC News

00:57:00.160 It's not really

00:57:02.000 the point

00:57:02.420 but just

00:57:03.280 just one note

00:57:04.080 is that

00:57:04.620 banning the

00:57:05.740 small bottles

00:57:06.260 of liquor

00:57:06.540 is a really

00:57:06.900 stupid idea

00:57:07.520 to begin with

00:57:08.260 because if

00:57:09.520 you do that

00:57:10.220 then doesn't

00:57:11.300 that just mean

00:57:11.620 people will buy

00:57:12.100 bigger bottles

00:57:12.760 of liquor

00:57:13.140 like what do

00:57:13.580 you think

00:57:13.760 I get the

00:57:14.780 idea

00:57:15.140 is people buy

00:57:15.900 those little

00:57:16.180 bottles

00:57:16.580 it's like

00:57:16.960 if you're

00:57:17.680 if you're

00:57:18.400 buying a little

00:57:18.800 bottle of liquor

00:57:19.500 you're either

00:57:20.080 an alcoholic

00:57:21.120 a college student

00:57:22.260 not that those

00:57:23.000 two things are

00:57:23.360 mutually exclusive

00:57:23.940 or you're on

00:57:24.680 an airplane

00:57:25.140 so it's really

00:57:26.300 it's really

00:57:26.900 it's it also

00:57:28.500 actually by the way

00:57:29.260 that that also

00:57:29.940 applies to

00:57:30.600 if you're

00:57:30.960 if you're buying

00:57:31.820 any kind of

00:57:32.480 liquor at all

00:57:33.280 or you're consuming

00:57:33.880 any kind of

00:57:34.320 liquor at all

00:57:34.700 before like

00:57:35.340 four o'clock

00:57:35.820 in the afternoon

00:57:36.320 again you're either

00:57:37.160 a college student

00:57:37.820 an alcoholic

00:57:38.300 or you're on

00:57:38.700 an airplane

00:57:39.000 but anyway

00:57:39.680 you bet

00:57:40.380 you ban the

00:57:40.980 small ones

00:57:41.640 and so is that

00:57:42.360 going to make

00:57:42.660 all the alcoholics

00:57:43.480 say well

00:57:43.840 guess I'm not

00:57:45.020 drinking any more

00:57:45.700 liquor

00:57:45.980 no now they just

00:57:46.640 buy bigger bottles

00:57:47.520 and drink those

00:57:48.060 anyway

00:57:48.260 so but

00:57:49.860 that's neither

00:57:50.220 here nor there

00:57:50.580 this is why

00:57:52.520 you never apologize

00:57:53.600 to these people

00:57:54.320 you never apologize

00:57:55.160 to them

00:57:55.700 because this is

00:57:56.480 who you are

00:57:57.600 apologizing to

00:57:58.560 this is who

00:57:59.620 the people you saw

00:58:00.140 in the video

00:58:00.460 this is who

00:58:01.480 you're bending

00:58:01.900 the knee to

00:58:02.460 these are the people

00:58:04.080 whose feet

00:58:04.680 you are kissing

00:58:05.420 these two guys

00:58:06.460 that you just saw

00:58:07.120 right there

00:58:07.580 it's always these guys

00:58:09.280 and people just like them

00:58:11.240 okay they are

00:58:11.980 representative of

00:58:12.980 who you are

00:58:13.960 groveling to

00:58:14.900 you've got an

00:58:15.660 insufferable

00:58:16.320 college professor

00:58:17.200 in an ugly shirt

00:58:18.180 with a smarmy

00:58:18.920 grin on his face

00:58:19.760 looking down

00:58:20.700 his nose at you

00:58:21.660 and telling you

00:58:22.240 which words

00:58:22.880 you're allowed to use

00:58:23.780 and which you

00:58:24.660 aren't allowed

00:58:25.120 to use

00:58:25.600 it's not okay

00:58:27.400 to say that

00:58:28.080 but we don't want

00:58:29.100 people to have

00:58:29.440 the impression

00:58:29.960 that it's okay

00:58:30.980 to say that word

00:58:31.860 it's not okay

00:58:32.820 to say that word

00:58:33.560 because I say so

00:58:34.600 and then the other dude

00:58:36.640 some useless

00:58:37.540 empty headed

00:58:38.600 bureaucrat

00:58:39.380 with a doctorate

00:58:40.220 in self victimization

00:58:41.320 on some pointless

00:58:42.700 commission

00:58:43.220 that does nothing

00:58:44.200 at all

00:58:44.640 whose entire purpose

00:58:46.180 is to justify

00:58:47.080 its existence

00:58:47.740 by looking for

00:58:48.600 things to complain about

00:58:49.460 this is entirely

00:58:51.260 perfunctory

00:58:51.980 right

00:58:52.660 for both of them

00:58:53.320 their hearts

00:58:54.200 aren't even in it

00:58:54.900 you can tell

00:58:55.260 especially the last

00:58:56.120 guy there

00:58:56.580 you know

00:58:57.840 that guy

00:58:58.260 he couldn't even

00:59:00.140 he couldn't even

00:59:00.880 pretend to actually

00:59:02.060 think that this matters

00:59:03.160 okay

00:59:04.120 and he's

00:59:04.680 well we need

00:59:05.500 diversity

00:59:06.200 we need to raise

00:59:07.340 awareness

00:59:07.780 of diversity

00:59:08.700 and so people

00:59:09.520 will know

00:59:10.080 about diverse

00:59:11.480 diversity

00:59:13.200 they don't believe

00:59:15.400 what they're saying

00:59:15.940 they don't care

00:59:16.580 they're just

00:59:17.500 petty tyrants

00:59:18.360 looking for an opportunity

00:59:19.380 to impose themselves

00:59:20.620 on other people

00:59:21.460 this goes for the

00:59:23.580 two guys in the clip

00:59:24.400 and everybody else

00:59:25.340 in the outrage mob

00:59:26.160 because that's the thing

00:59:26.900 about the outrage mob

00:59:27.780 there isn't much

00:59:28.620 actual outrage

00:59:29.540 to be found in it

00:59:30.420 it's all for show

00:59:32.840 which is why

00:59:34.760 as I've been shouting

00:59:35.740 for years

00:59:36.540 and as I

00:59:38.680 myself

00:59:39.200 have lived by

00:59:40.240 this is not something

00:59:41.120 I'm telling other people

00:59:41.920 to do that I won't do

00:59:42.780 but you must

00:59:44.060 never apologize

00:59:45.460 to them

00:59:46.160 no matter what

00:59:48.060 you must

00:59:49.540 never

00:59:50.340 apologize

00:59:51.100 to them

00:59:51.760 say whatever

00:59:54.300 you want

00:59:55.240 to these people

00:59:56.020 just

00:59:57.220 never say

00:59:58.200 you're sorry

00:59:58.780 but Chris Curtis

01:00:01.260 did apologize

01:00:01.920 so I cannot

01:00:03.180 save him

01:00:03.760 even if I wanted to

01:00:04.660 instead I could only say

01:00:06.340 that everybody

01:00:07.420 involved in this

01:00:08.160 situation

01:00:08.680 is today
