The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1168 - Why I'm Banned From Fox News

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a new report reveals how far Fox News has gone to enforce and promote

00:00:04.740 trans ideology, both on the air and in the workplace. In fact, as I'll explain, I have

00:00:09.440 personally been banned from Fox because of my criticism of trans ideology. Also, a white 1.00

00:00:14.000 supremacist rams his U-Haul into a barrier near the White House. The funny thing about this white 1.00

00:00:18.300 supremacist, though, is that yet again, he is not white. Plus, Tim Scott announces his presidential 0.92

00:00:23.040 campaign. The woke Indiana Jones film featuring a decrepit old Harrison Ford is getting panned by

00:00:27.960 critics. In our daily cancellation, the LA Dodgers invite satanic drag queens to their Pride Night 0.98

00:00:32.740 celebration, and then they uninvite them, and then they invite them again. We'll talk about all that

00:00:36.560 and more today on the Matt Wall Show. Well, I've seen all your comments, and we know how much you

00:00:48.160 all are enjoying the sick burns during my GenuCell ad reads. Well, coming up with creative insults to

00:00:53.660 to, you know, target everyone at the Daily Wire can be quite grueling. Sometimes even hours of sleep

00:00:59.100 are missed, coming up with ways to make people feel so insecure that they never want to be around

00:01:03.820 me again. And that's why the writer of these GenuCell burns also uses GenuCell so she never

00:01:09.120 has to be at risk. Wait, am I misgendering myself? I thought we were pretending that I'm coming up with

00:01:13.340 this stuff. Anyway, he or she never has to be at risk of insulting herself in these ads. And as she

00:01:20.540 says, no one is immune besides me to catching the smoke. Just kidding, she doesn't say that. She

00:01:24.920 just wanted me to read that in the prompter. It's a great ad read yet again. Anyways, I've told you,

00:01:33.440 I don't do anyways. Anyway, we don't need the S at the end of anyway. Anyway, did you know that our

00:02:34.480 Six weeks have passed since the boycott began, the boycott that many critics, including many on the

00:02:39.060 right, assured us would fail. And sales of the goat urine beverage plunged another 25%. The week

00:02:45.320 before, sales dropped 24%. A cause of even greater concern for Anheuser-Busch executives is that the

00:02:51.100 company's other brands are also seeing significant losses. Sales of Budweiser were down nearly 10%

00:02:57.080 for the second week in a row. And this is what Anheuser-Busch gets, and rightly so, for betraying

00:03:04.400 their mostly working class, conservative customer base in order to promote transgenderism.

00:03:11.280 So then I ask, what should Fox News get? If that's what Bud Light got, what should Fox News get?

00:03:18.760 The Daily Signal has a report this week from journalist Mary Margaret Olihan laying out the

00:03:23.080 conservative, quote unquote, media conglomerate's official company policies pertaining to trans

00:03:27.960 employees. Now, Fox pretends to object to the invasion of women's spaces by men. 0.96

00:03:33.940 But its own policies tell a very different story. Citing the radical far-left human rights campaign,

00:03:40.220 the employee handbook grants employees at Fox News the right to use whatever bathroom aligns with

00:03:46.000 their quote-unquote gender identity. And it guarantees that they'll be addressed according to their

00:03:50.720 quote-unquote preferred pronouns. More from the report, quote, under the category gender transition,

00:03:55.940 Fox's employee handbook promises that the company is dedicated to expanding and strengthening efforts

00:04:00.740 to sustain a more inclusive work environment. The Fox employee handbook is posted on Workday,

00:04:06.060 where employees can see company guidelines or policies. A former employee told the Daily Signal,

00:04:11.860 quote, employees who are transitioning their gender have the right to be open about their transition if

00:04:16.180 they so choose, and to work in an environment free of harassment, discrimination, or retaliation,

00:04:21.020 and without fear of consequences or transphobia for living openly, the policy says.

00:04:25.720 Citing the human rights campaign, one of the most prominent LGBTQ organizations in the country,

00:04:30.860 the Fox handbook defines a slew of LGBTQ terms, including cisgender, gender expression, gender

00:04:36.980 fluid, gender identity, gender non-conforming, gender transition, LGBTQ, non-binary, and transgender.

00:04:44.100 For the past several years, Fox received a perfect score on the human right campaign's

00:04:48.260 corporate equality index, which is the nation's foremost benchmarking survey and report measuring

00:04:53.740 corporate policies and practices related to LGBTQ plus workplace equality. A former Fox News

00:04:59.440 employee told the Daily Signal that the company frequently mentions this perfect score in employee

00:05:04.680 training materials. So they're very, very proud of having gotten a perfect score from the human

00:05:09.780 rights campaign, which is again, a radical far left organization. As a former Fox employee mentions in

00:05:16.520 the article, Fox spends a lot of time attacking woke corporations, but forgets to mention

00:05:21.380 that it is itself a woke corporation. In fact, there is absolutely no difference between Fox and any

00:05:28.800 of the woke corporations that it pretends to criticize. This also creates the rather funny

00:05:33.820 possibility that a female pundit who goes to Fox studios to do a segment complaining about men in 0.95

00:05:39.520 women's bathrooms may visit the restroom after her segment only to find that she is sharing it with 1.00

00:05:45.500 a man. Now, if you're more gracious than me, you may want to excuse all of this by arguing that Fox is

00:05:52.380 only following the law in the states where its offices are located. It has no choice. And if that

00:05:57.700 was the case, it would make Fox merely a pitiful capitulator. But the fact is that their advocacy for

00:06:03.900 trans ideology goes far, far beyond anything that is required by law yet. Keep in mind that Fox has for a

00:06:12.340 long time now made the editorial decision to refer to trans identified males as she and trans identified

00:06:19.100 females as he. So even in articles and in commentary, ostensibly critical of men who invade women's spaces,

00:06:27.200 still it's journalists and commentators refer to those men as women, thereby kneecapping their own

00:06:32.960 argument. But there's more. The Daily Signal reveals, according to sources at Fox, that the new

00:06:38.000 producers for the APM slot, now that Tucker Carlson has been fired, are under strict orders from up top

00:06:44.560 that they aren't allowed to bash Dylan Mulvaney anymore. Even when Carlson was still there, he had

00:06:50.100 to fight just for the ability to refer to Mulvaney by male pronouns in the show's chyrons. Now, none of

00:06:55.940 this comes as a surprise given that Fox, almost exactly a year ago, this is back in early June, ran a now

00:07:02.420 infamous puff piece about a family that transitioned, quote unquote, their young daughter. And just to refresh

00:07:08.100 your memory, here's some of that. 14 year old Ryland Whittington is a typical Southern California

00:07:15.520 teenager. And the Whittingtons, along with mom Hillary, dad Jeff and sister Brinley are a typical family. The only

00:07:24.260 difference, though, in Ryland's eyes is what this family can mean to the tens of thousands of kids under 18 who

00:07:31.360 identify as transgender. We put our story out there so people could see that, like, there's another

00:07:38.060 family out there that is going through what we're going through, or there's another family who's proud

00:07:44.380 of who they are. Before Ryland could even speak, he managed to tell his parents that he is a boy. I could

00:07:50.960 just see that it wasn't him trying to be a brat. It was, like, painful. It was truly painful for him to

00:07:56.760 have to wear feminine clothing and for us constantly telling him that you're a girl. 1.00

00:08:02.380 And unlike some trans kids, when Ryland came out at age five a few years later, he had the full support 0.99

00:08:08.500 of his parents. When Ryland came out at age five, that's your conservative news source, ladies and

00:08:16.300 gentlemen. And of course, I can refer to you as ladies and gentlemen because I don't work for Fox News.

00:08:20.980 Actually, as it turns out, I'll never work for Fox News because I am banned by Fox News. The Daily

00:08:26.900 Signal quotes a former Tucker producer who says that I have been blacklisted by the network due to my

00:08:32.000 frank condemnation of trans ideology. And this is not, I will tell you, news to me. In fact, I personally

00:08:38.820 began hearing from sources inside Fox dating back to last June that the decision had been made to block

00:08:45.080 me from appearing on any Fox show because of my anti-trans ideology stance, especially after I

00:08:50.760 criticized that Fox segment promoting the transing of kids. I used to appear frequently on Laura

00:08:55.840 Ingram's show and Jesse Waters. In the past, I'd made numerous appearances on Fox and Friends in

00:09:00.140 the morning. All of that went away. And this was not a surprise to me. I figured that would probably

00:09:05.320 happen when I called them out for promoting child grooming. I was also a regular contributor on

00:09:09.760 Tucker's show up till that point. And I heard from multiple sources that when Tucker found out about

00:09:15.080 my blacklisting, he was livid and he fought back against it internally and even managed to have me on

00:09:20.740 his show a few times over the next year in spite of the directives from up top, especially the case

00:09:26.540 when we exposed Vanderbilt's child mutilation racket back in the fall. And Tucker had me on to talk

00:09:33.500 about that and he had to fight hard to get me on the air to talk about it. And I want you to think

00:09:38.140 about that for a moment because Fox wanted to prioritize its grudge against me, a grudge based

00:09:44.160 entirely in the fact that I'm a strident critic of trans ideology over the effort to expose child 0.89

00:09:50.120 mutilation. Remember that the next time you hear someone at Fox talk about protecting children.

00:09:56.420 Now, fortunately for me, Fox's blacklist has had no effect on my career as yet another testament

00:10:01.700 to the waning relevance of cable news. This past year on the Fox blacklist has been the biggest

00:10:07.800 year in my career. My audience and platform has never been larger. And I say this not to brag,

00:10:13.340 but among other things, as a word of encouragement to the great many conservative commentators and

00:10:17.660 pundits and podcasters who are listening to me right now and know that everything I'm saying

00:10:22.880 about Fox is true, but are terrified to speak up publicly for fear that they'll lose their precious

00:10:28.240 Fox segments. Well, let me assure you, yes, you will absolutely lose those segments, but that will

00:10:35.800 only make you marginally less famous with the nursing home population. If you have anything interesting

00:10:41.160 to say, you can more than make up for it by going around the cable news gatekeepers and speaking

00:10:46.520 directly to a much larger and not to mention younger audience. Or preferably you can speak up simply

00:10:54.340 because it's the right thing to do, regardless of what effect it may or may not have on your career.

00:11:01.840 Now, look, I have often warned about punching rights. You know, we don't, we want to be careful

00:11:07.680 about that, but you can punch to the right all you want and you aren't going to hit Fox news. That's the

00:11:13.620 point. By embracing gender ideology, not just embracing it, but promoting it, enforcing it,

00:11:20.640 banning from the airwaves, anyone who seriously opposes it. Fox news has staked out a position that

00:11:27.200 is as far to the left as you can get. Okay. Gender ideology is leftism distilled down to its purest and 0.99

00:11:37.000 most potent form. It represents everything that we're supposed to be fighting against, everything

00:11:42.500 that we oppose. Now, there are issues that we as conservatives can disagree on and still remain

00:11:49.260 conservatives, but this is not one of those issues. It cannot be one of those issues because if you are

00:11:57.400 an ally of the left on gender ideology, then you are an ally in the war against fundamental truth.

00:12:04.920 And if we are not first and foremost fighting to conserve that, to conserve truth, then what else

00:12:11.640 is there? What is the point? What is left? Now, these are not questions that the executives at Fox

00:12:19.740 concern themselves with because Fox is just another corporation like any other. It's not the evil empire

00:12:26.560 that the left makes it out to be. And we'll always make it out to be, by the way, no matter how much Fox

00:12:31.820 respects the pronouns, the left is still going to hate them. And it's certainly not the bastion of

00:12:37.520 conservatism that Fox's viewers apparently think it is. The answer is none of the above. It is a factory

00:12:43.960 churning out a product to be consumed, but it isn't honest about what that product is.

00:12:50.960 It is lying to its consumers. It is pretending to be something that it isn't.

00:12:55.500 That's what makes Fox's betrayal far worse than Bud Light. I mean, far worse. Bud Light never

00:13:03.160 pretended to be anything but piss water. That's what it always was. That's what it will remain.

00:13:09.320 Fox pretends to have much higher pretensions. Yet, what it actually produces is something quite

00:13:15.280 similar to Bud Light, something watered down and empty and foul. And yet for its consumers,

00:13:21.500 apparently, strangely intoxicating. And this slop is served under false pretenses by a company that

00:13:28.620 fundamentally agrees with the leftist worldview it's supposedly trying to criticize,

00:13:34.660 which is why its critiques always prove so impotent and ineffectual.

00:13:41.080 Conservatives are making real progress. I believe that. We are winning battles in the culture war.

00:13:47.000 Long way to go. Okay, long way to go. But we're getting things done, finally.

00:13:53.560 With no thanks to Fox News. They are working against us, not for us. And it's time for us to

00:14:00.620 realize whose team they're on and treat them like it. Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:14:07.280 You know, the first step in growing up and being a real man is getting off your parents' phone plan.

00:14:17.840 Getting your own cell phone plan gives you a sense of independence and responsibility. It's a step

00:14:21.340 towards becoming more self-sufficient. By paying for your own finances, you learn how to budget and

00:14:25.340 manage your money. There are a ton of cell phone providers out there. Unfortunately, most of them

00:14:28.940 want to lock you into these contracts. They'll tack on hidden fees at any chance they get.

00:14:33.020 That's why I'm a big fan of Pure Talk. There are no contracts, no hassles. You can cancel at any

00:14:38.120 time. It's very simple. Pure Talk is also giving you a free 5G Samsung Galaxy phone when you sign

00:15:14.760 So our headlines begin with another alleged attack by an alleged white supremacist. NBC News has the

00:15:20.740 report the driver of a truck that crashed into security barriers near the White House on Monday

00:15:24.540 night has been identified as a 19-year-old from Missouri who was arrested on multiple charges,

00:15:29.580 including threatening to kill or harm a president, vice president, or family member, officials said.

00:15:33.580 Authorities said the preliminary investigation indicates that the driver intentionally crashed

00:15:37.020 into the bollards outside of Lafayette Park. A Nazi flag was seized by authorities at the scene of

00:15:43.660 the incident. Nobody was injured. A law enforcement official told NBC News that the suspect made

00:15:47.520 threatening statements about the White House, but was quickly detained. And the official said,

00:15:53.100 quote, I don't think there's any place for a Nazi flag or the statements that he made.

00:15:56.460 So we're being told that a white supremacist did this and he had a Nazi flag. And in fact,

00:16:03.500 there's a picture going around, one that quickly made the rounds on social media very quickly.

00:16:08.660 And you can see in the picture the U-Haul. And then there's a new, nice, new, crisp Nazi flag 0.64

00:16:16.540 laid out on the pavement right next to it. So here's a question. Is this normal police procedure?

00:16:23.220 Like, do they normally go to a crime scene and take out evidence and lay it on the ground neatly

00:16:29.180 so that reporters can take pictures? Like, uh, like, you know, and at the scene of a crash,

00:16:34.680 especially you go into the vehicle and extract items from it and lay it all neatly on the ground.

00:16:42.820 Now I've never been, you know, I'm not a police officer. I've never been, do we have that picture?

00:16:47.120 There it is right there. Yeah. Look at that Nazi flag late. So it was in now, first of all, 0.85

00:16:51.860 why do you need a U-Haul that size for a Nazi flag that size? That's the first thing I'm trying to 0.64

00:16:58.580 figure out. And the second is that we assume what happened, this, I mean, this white supremacist had

00:17:04.200 this, this dastardly plot to kill the president. And the way that he was going to do it was to take 0.97

00:17:10.080 his U-Haul and slam it into some barriers. That's step one. And then step two is a question mark.

00:17:17.420 Step three, president is dead. Uh, that didn't work somehow. So they detained him quickly. And

00:17:23.900 then the police opened up the U-Haul and they went in there and they took the Nazi flag out and they

00:17:29.600 just laid it there on the pavement. As I said, not a police officer. I've never been to the police

00:17:34.400 academy. So I don't know what procedures they teach cops, especially these days. But I, I didn't

00:17:40.920 think that that was the procedure. I think that, uh, if you have a, you know, a crime scene, you

00:17:46.060 preserve the evidence, um, you're not going to lay it all out neatly and then say, Hey, hey guys,

00:17:51.460 you want pictures of this? Come and take a selfie if you want. Also, um, don't worry about the fact

00:17:58.540 that the white supremacist name is apparently Cy Varshith Kandula. And a picture that is allegedly

00:18:06.000 of this guy is also making the rounds. And he indeed looks like a Cy Varshith Kandula. He looks

00:18:15.080 like that. He doesn't look like a white supremacist because he's not white. But I guess that means he 0.68

00:18:20.040 does look like a white supremacist because, uh, these days white supremacists are very often not

00:18:25.280 white. I mean, it seems like the, the, the majority of the recent cases of white supremacists

00:18:32.480 staging, uh, attacks and crimes, that sort of thing. We find out that the white supremacist

00:18:38.320 isn't even white. And so this is another case of that. Nothing suspicious about this. Nothing 0.95

00:18:45.300 strange. Take it at face value. Don't ask any questions. Okay. And a, uh, a brown skinned white 1.00

00:18:53.520 supremacist got a massive U-Haul van, a van for his brand new Nazi flag. And he put it in the U-Haul 0.96

00:19:00.420 and he crashed it into a barrier near the white house. And all of this is normal. Okay. You don't 0.53

00:19:07.500 need to think about it. Read the headline, absorb it, move on. That's what you're supposed to do.

00:19:15.740 Uh, next from Washington examiner, Senator Tim Scott criticized president Joe Biden for leading the

00:19:20.900 country into retreat as he launched his campaign for the 2024 presidential, uh, Republican presidential

00:19:26.620 nomination with an optimistic faith-driven message about the future. And here is Tim Scott explaining

00:19:33.380 why he has decided to run for president. Our nation, our values and our people are strong,

00:19:40.800 but our president is weak. But under Joe Biden, our nation is not a nation in decline, but under Joe

00:19:51.140 Biden, we have become a nation in retreat, retreating from our heritage and our history, retreating from

00:20:00.240 personal responsibility and hard work, retreating from strength and security, even retreating from

00:20:08.500 religious liberty and the worship of God himself. They say opportunity in America is a myth and faith

00:20:20.100 in America is a fraud. But the truth of my life disproves their lies.

00:20:29.220 Now, we did cut out the part, uh, where his mic cuts out in the middle of cuts off about two minutes

00:20:36.080 and he's sitting there. He's trying to yell to the audience and they're switching out microphones

00:20:39.900 and everything. And, uh, I feel bad for him for that. I might vote for him just out of sympathy

00:20:44.580 based on that fact alone, you know, and I've, anyone who's done any public speaking, we've been in a

00:20:49.640 position before where a mic cuts out. It's always really awkward, but imagine like you're, you're

00:20:54.640 announcing that you're running for president. It's a once in a lifetime, uh, experience,

00:21:01.620 maybe not for Tim Scott, because you know, I, something tells me this is going to be the kind

00:21:06.420 of guy who runs for president seven times and never makes it, but it's a first in a lifetime

00:21:10.980 experience anyway. And the mic cuts out in the middle of your announcement, really tough.

00:21:16.220 Uh, but aside from that, this is his campaign pitch, uh, you know, hopeful, optimistic America

00:21:21.440 is not in decline. He says we have to have hope and change. That's the message he's going with.

00:21:26.880 And maybe the hope and change message will take him all the way to the white house. Maybe it will

00:21:31.100 and make him the first black president because that message obviously worked well for the first

00:21:36.220 biracial president. Um, but, but I have my doubts because here's the thing with, with Tim Scott.

00:21:42.600 He seems like a nice guy. I have no personal issue with him. Seems nice enough. And just like Nikki

00:21:49.220 Haley, he would be a formidable and serious candidate in the year 2004 or 2008.

00:21:56.880 Um, or 1992, but in the current age, not so much because he represents a kind of safe, cautious,

00:22:07.740 bubbly conservatism that has long outlived its purpose. If it ever had a purpose to begin with,

00:22:13.760 which I'm quite skeptical of. And the other thing is I'm, I am not looking for a president and you

00:22:21.940 know, I'm saying me, but I think I speak for many other Americans as well. When I say this,

00:22:25.320 I am not looking for a president to make me feel good about myself or about the country. Okay. Um,

00:22:34.380 I don't need him to tell me that America is not in decline. I don't need those sweet nothings

00:22:40.760 whispered in my ear because I know that it's not true. America is in decline by pretty much every

00:22:47.580 measure economically, um, you know, in every, in every measure. So that's the truth. America is in

00:22:59.020 decline. I don't like it. I wish it wasn't the case, but it is the case and we should face it and

00:23:05.460 deal with it. And we can't deal with it if we're not facing it. Tim Scott is, he's telling us how we

00:23:14.100 want it to be, but he's pretending that that's how things actually are. And you're not going to

00:23:19.000 make things, you're not going to make something become the way that you want it to be by just

00:23:24.380 pretending that it already is that way when it isn't. Um, and that's, and that's what we get

00:23:31.720 from Tim Scott. Just your, you know, basically milk toast, friendly neighborhood, Republicanism

00:23:37.920 sort of thing. And that's not going to win. Even if it does win, which it won't, um, it's not going

00:23:46.020 to, it's not enough, you know, it's not enough. It's not enough to, to make the changes that need

00:23:52.340 to be made. Yeah. He's a, he, by all accounts, he's a, I guess, a talented politician. He's personable.

00:23:59.880 I don't care about that. I don't think anyone really cares about that. You know, the media cares

00:24:04.660 about it. That's why, while someone like Tim Scott gets praise, you know, uh, Ron DeSantis

00:24:10.100 is constantly critical. I mean, all this week, um, there's, and this is, this has been the

00:24:14.620 criticism of Ron DeSantis is that he is, uh, he's not personable. Allegedly. There's this one,

00:24:20.360 I don't think we even have it, but there was a video of him making a campaign stop somewhere,

00:24:24.920 I think in New Hampshire. And he walks into this restaurant and, uh, he's doing the glad handing

00:24:29.120 thing. And it's like a 50 second video and it's being passed around by people on the left and

00:24:34.280 people on the right who don't like Ron DeSantis because they're Trump's Trump fans, uh, saying

00:24:37.640 that, Oh, Ron DeSantis is terrible at this. Look how awkward he is. And of course I'm watching

00:24:42.940 and I'm thinking that's not awkward. It's like, he seems perfectly fine. Like he's clearly an

00:24:47.360 introvert. So maybe as an introvert myself, I can just relate to it. Like it's obvious he doesn't

00:24:51.640 really want to be there, but he's doing it because he needs to. And so who cares? Is this what

00:24:56.700 we're worried about? We want our president to be per he's not personable. I don't know if I

00:25:01.260 could be a friend, friends with him. Jeez. I don't know if I could make small talk with

00:25:06.640 him. If I was sitting down at the bar, well, you're not, you're never going to be sitting

00:25:09.540 at the bar with him. And that's not what you need. We're not, we're not electing a friend.

00:25:16.400 The president of the United States of America, not, not the friend of the United States of

00:25:20.380 America. If you want friends, go out and get friends. That's not what politicians are for. 0.92

00:25:26.440 So that doesn't matter. I don't care. Oh, he's a little bit awkward. So can he lead?

00:25:35.140 Can he accomplish things? Does he understand policy? Is he intelligent and thoughtful? And

00:25:41.560 those are the things that matter. You know, I have one other objection to Tim Scott,

00:25:47.700 and this is something that Will Chamberlain pointed out yesterday on Twitter. And some people are mad at

00:25:51.340 him for it, of course, but he's right. Tim Scott is not married and he has no kids and he's in his

00:25:57.060 fifties. And that's really on top of everything else that that alone is reason enough not to vote

00:26:04.120 for him. I'm not voting for a man for president. If he doesn't have a wife and kids, like I'm,

00:26:08.160 I'm just not. Okay. So that's for me, you know, that, that, that is a form of discrimination that I

00:26:15.000 will engage in when I'm voting, you know, when I'm casting my ballot for president. In fact,

00:26:22.280 anytime you're voting, you're engaging in that's, it's a, it is a discriminatory process. You're

00:26:26.160 discriminating against the kinds of things you don't want in favor of what you do. And I don't

00:26:30.840 want a president who doesn't have a wife and kids. It, for one thing, it raises too many questions

00:26:39.700 to have a guy. I think Tim Scott is 57 and he doesn't have a wife and kids. It raises questions.

00:26:44.760 Not everybody in the world is, is called to marriage and family life. I understand that,

00:26:48.520 but the vast majority of people are. And so we have to ask why Tim Scott doesn't have a family.

00:26:53.220 And aside from that, if you have a wife and kids, then I know that at least in theory,

00:27:00.260 you have some kind of experience as a leader, you know, you have led, you have served. Now there

00:27:05.520 are plenty of parents who don't fulfill that obligation very well or at all, but ideally in

00:27:10.760 theory, that's what it means, right? If you're a father. Um, and if you're 57 and you've been a

00:27:16.340 bachelor your whole life, it means that you've only really lived for yourself. Uh, not to mention

00:27:20.880 I want a president who has a stake in the future. Okay. Like I, the future has to really matter to you

00:27:30.340 personally. And if you have kids, then it does because you have kids. They are going to live

00:27:37.840 in the country that you help to create through, uh, your time as president. This is also my

00:27:44.680 objection to really old presidents because a really old president may have kids, but they themselves are

00:27:50.080 on their way out. So they are helping to shape the future and then they're going to leave. And that

00:27:56.140 also makes me uncomfortable. So, uh, call me picky, but I want a president who has kids that will 0.99

00:28:01.460 inherit the future that he helps to build. And also a president who himself will, will be alive

00:28:07.560 for at least a few decades after he leaves the white house. So a lot of reasons there and, uh,

00:28:14.640 they all add up to Tim Scott. Isn't the guy. And, uh, you know, I don't even think he's really

00:28:19.200 running for president. This is just another one of these people running for, uh, to be a vice

00:28:24.680 president or something like that, running for a cabinet position. It's also interesting that,

00:28:29.200 uh, uh, Donald Trump put out a statement on his truth social after Tim Scott announced his

00:28:37.100 candidacy. And it was very friendly. It was very nice. It was, you know, in essence, like, welcome,

00:28:41.540 welcome to the, uh, to the race, Tim. And that has been Trump's response to every single person

00:28:49.660 who's gotten into the race. He's been very friendly to them, except Ron DeSantis. Ron DeSantis

00:28:54.820 is the one guy who's not allowed to run. The very fact that he might run is an offense. It's a personal

00:29:01.060 offense to Donald Trump, but all the rest of them, yeah, all of them can jump in. And we know why that

00:29:06.200 is. The, the reason is that, uh, Ron DeSantis is a threat to, to Trump politically. And these other

00:29:12.300 people aren't. In fact, um, Trump knows that the more, the merrier for everybody else, all of the,

00:29:17.180 uh, all of the also rands, the more, the merrier, because they're going to split the vote. They're

00:29:21.040 going to split the non-Trump vote. And so he wants a bunch of them in there, um, so that it doesn't

00:29:26.140 all coalesce around Ron DeSantis. So, so, you know, I said it, I can't figure out why he's doing

00:29:30.060 that. Of course I can figure out. It makes sense politically, but that is what's happening there.

00:29:33.920 All right. This is from CNN. Uber's diversity chief is on leave from the company after criticism from

00:29:40.940 some employees related to an internal panel called don't call me Karen. Bo Young Lee,

00:29:46.840 Uber's chief diversity and inclusion officer is on a leave of absence. According to a Uber

00:29:51.720 spokesperson, Lee oversaw a series of sessions called moving forward at Uber that focused on

00:29:56.840 issues around race, gender identity, and class. One of the more recent sessions was titled don't

00:30:02.180 call me Karen and focus on the experiences of a handful of women, uh, women leaders, a person

00:30:06.780 familiar with the matter told CNN, Karen is a slang term that usually refers to a middle-aged 1.00

00:30:11.360 white woman with a strong sense of entitlement, often at the expense of people of color. 0.97

00:30:15.100 Lee was put on leave after a follow-up listening session in response to concerns about the don't

00:30:20.360 call me Karen panel resulted in additional concerns. So there was a listening session in

00:30:26.000 response to concerns, which resulted in concerns. And so she was put on leave. Um, black and Hispanic 1.00

00:30:33.920 workers at Uber first felt that the organizers of the event were focusing more on the harms caused by

00:30:38.720 using the moniker Karen than the harms white people can inflict on people of color.

00:30:44.000 In a follow-up listening session, the times reported some employees felt that their concerns

00:30:48.380 weren't being heard. And that instead of a, that instead of a chance to provide feedback or have

00:30:52.720 a dialogue, they were lectured by Lee about their response to the initial don't call me Karen event.

00:30:57.340 Okay. So there was, there were concerns and there was a listening session about those concerns,

00:31:04.540 which led to more concerns. And then they had a follow-up listening session about the concerns

00:31:11.180 that came from their listening session about the concerns. And those also created concerns.

00:31:16.180 And so what we need is that we need now a third listening session about the concerns from the

00:31:21.320 listening session. We just got to keep, we got to keep listening and keep talking about our concerns.

00:31:29.860 Everyone is very concerned. Well, I'm concerned too. And my concern is this, that, um, if you,

00:31:35.900 if you still have any confusion about what these diversity initiatives actually are, well, this should

00:31:43.260 clear it up. Diversity absolutely means anti-white. That's what it means. All diversity,

00:31:51.320 initiatives are anti-white initiatives. Anytime you hear about any kind of diversity initiative

00:31:57.580 anywhere, whether it's in government, in corporations, uh, in any institution at all,

00:32:02.740 it is an anti-white initiative. Diversity is an anti-white conspiracy. And you can clip that and 0.94

00:32:09.680 cut it and post it on Twitter because I know you will, because that's what it is. Um, and if you ever

00:32:15.520 doubted it, well, here you go, because the diversity chief at Uber tried to do one thing, okay, host

00:32:24.180 one event. This was one session. It's part of a series where they were talking all about diversity

00:32:29.640 and all the ways that, uh, quote unquote, people of color are victimized. And in the middle of that

00:32:33.760 series, just one session, one little event where she, she tepidly suggested that, Hey, you know,

00:32:40.400 maybe we also shouldn't use racial slurs against white people. Maybe, you know, maybe we shouldn't

00:32:47.680 do that. And just that one time, and she was fired for it. The, uh, the black and Hispanic workers were 1.00

00:32:54.900 offended. They were offended by it. 99.99999% of all diversity and equity material and all training

00:33:02.400 is all about telling the black and Hispanic workers how great they are and how wonderful they are and how

00:33:08.380 persecuted they are and how everyone else is out to get them. And they're right about everything.

00:33:12.020 That's 99.999% of everything. But this was the 0.0000001% of cases where it focused on somebody else

00:33:22.180 briefly. And they were furious. They just couldn't handle it. How dare she shift the focus away from

00:33:30.260 them for 12 seconds? You can't do that. Never. How dare she suggest most of all that they

00:33:37.780 should actually maybe treat white people with some level of basic human respect and decency?

00:33:45.460 Because so that was the really egregious thing is that not only did this diversity chief 0.99

00:33:51.440 briefly shift the focus away from, you know, racial minorities to talk about white people,

00:33:58.540 but she also suggested that if you're a racial minority, and I doubt that she put it this frankly,

00:34:04.240 but she, you know, this was the implication. She suggested that if you're a racial minority,

00:34:08.120 you know, you, maybe there are some standards of conduct that apply to you too. Maybe. Like,

00:34:15.300 maybe you can't just say whatever you want all the time. Maybe there's times when you should also

00:34:19.900 think about what you're saying and treat people with respect. Maybe. And because she did that,

00:34:26.400 she's now, um, fired or on a leave of absence anyway, because that's not what these programs 0.98

00:34:33.040 are supposed to be about. They're supposed to be anti-white. It's interesting too, to see how, um, 0.72

00:34:39.540 how vehemently, um, people defend the Karen slur. And, you know, we talked about this yesterday. Again,

00:34:45.560 they, they, they get really, really angry when you merely mention the obvious fact that it is an

00:34:52.200 anti-white slur. They're not going to engage with the argument, obviously, as I pointed out many

00:34:57.080 times, if I started calling annoying black women, Shaniquas, everyone would agree that it's racist. 1.00

00:35:04.200 Every single person. You know, if I went up to you and I said, man, this damn Shaniqua at the grocery 1.00

00:35:10.000 store yelled at me, I can't stand these Shaniquas. Hey, shut up Shaniqua. If I said that, 1.00

00:35:16.700 everyone would agree that it's racist. Okay. There would be no argument about it.

00:35:24.780 And this, this thing with Karen is exactly the same thing. It's exactly the same thing.

00:35:31.800 There's no denying it. Nobody can deny it. Instead, they just explode with fury. If you dare suggest

00:35:39.380 that perhaps racial slurs against whites aren't great because that's what it is, right?

00:35:43.520 It's that they're not really denying that Karen is a racial slur against white women because it

00:35:48.820 obviously, I mean, even CNN says it refers to white women. It's derogatory. It's not a compliment.

00:35:54.240 It's a derogatory label that is used against a particular race of people, racial slur. So that

00:36:01.600 can't be denied. Instead, what the people who object to my objection or anyone's objection to using Karen,

00:36:08.600 what they're really saying is that, yeah, it's a racial slur, but I should be allowed to use a racial 0.99

00:36:13.020 slur against white women. And not only should I be allowed to use it, but I will passionately defend 0.96

00:36:18.820 my right to use that racial slur. And that's what all this is. All the diversity stuff is simply about

00:36:26.160 establishing and reinforcing the racial hierarchy. That's all it is. We all know it. So let's just be 0.70

00:36:35.220 honest about it. That's all I'm saying. Let's be honest about what it is. All right. Moving to this

00:36:40.620 from the Daily Wire, the first Indiana Jones movie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, came out in 1981.

00:36:45.800 Back then, Harrison Ford was 38. Now Ford's 80 years old, not exactly the age of an action hero,

00:36:51.040 and the fifth installment of the movie is not faring well with critics. Peter Howell,

00:36:55.640 the Toronto Star, wrote, quote, it's all pretty goofy and laborious over its 142-minute running time.

00:37:01.420 142 minutes. The Rolling Stone review was even more harsh. You either die as an intellectual property

00:37:06.560 hero trapped in amber, or you live long enough to see yourself riding a fake horse against a green

00:37:10.920 screen subway background when most of your peers have slowed down. Critic David Fear wrote, quote,

00:37:16.600 you're largely left with what you'd imagine you'd get if you programmed a 21st century AI program to

00:37:21.020 write up nostalgia bait for the children of the late 20th century. So a lot of reviews like this.

00:37:28.540 With a running time of nearly two and a half hours, reviewers said the $300 million movie is a

00:37:32.320 bloated mess with endless chase scenes. David Rooney of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, quote,

00:37:36.740 that nonstop pacing might sound ideal, but it's mostly an exhausting slog. And so much phony CGI,

00:37:43.540 quote, parts of what dims the enjoyment of this concluding chapter is just how glaringly fake

00:37:47.900 so much of it looks, Rooney wrote. Maybe the filmmaker should have stopped at Ford installments,

00:37:51.980 while some reviewers said Ford still has his trademark swagger. One reviewer wrote, quote,

00:37:56.680 I'm not sure how many fans want to see Indiana Jones as a broken, helpless old man who cowers in the

00:38:01.360 corner while his patronizing goddaughter takes the lead. But that's what we're given, and it's as bleak

00:38:07.300 as it sounds. So that's Indiana Jones 5 for you. An 80-year-old doddering, incompetent Indiana Jones

00:38:16.940 being lectured to by his woke goddaughter. That sound appealing? Is that everybody on board for that? 0.98

00:38:24.380 Honestly, and not to put too fine a point on it or make too much of it, but if this movie doesn't

00:38:32.380 absolutely bomb at the box office, then I think I give up on America. I give up. I give up on this

00:38:40.280 country if this movie does not completely tank. If this is not a humiliating box office disaster

00:38:47.480 that ends the careers of everybody involved, then I give up. I mean, the country is done.

00:38:53.940 There's like, seriously, this is a hollow, lifeless, cash grab remake that has none of the original,

00:39:01.720 the charm of the original series, has no respect for the characters, has no respect for the audience, 1.00

00:39:08.200 is being used as a vehicle to send yet another message about how men are stupid and useless. 1.00

00:39:15.080 There's just no reason to watch it. Like, why would you watch it? There's no possible incentive. 1.00

00:39:23.560 If audiences go to watch it, then it will simply be because of zombie-like instincts to mindlessly 0.93

00:39:31.240 consume whatever garbage these movie studios dump on our heads. And if that instinct is so overwhelming

00:39:38.120 that even this movie does well at the box office, then I don't know. I think there's no hope because

00:39:45.720 we don't have, there's not enough mind left, okay? We're not, we're not thinking enough anymore.

00:39:52.760 Especially after all, like, everybody complains, and rightly so, about the, the cash grab remakes

00:40:01.500 and sequels. We've been complaining about that for decades. Everyone knows they're never good.

00:40:07.520 And then there's the, and there's the wokeness factor to being preached to constantly. Everyone

00:40:13.340 complains about it. And then these movies come out, and many of these same people still go,

00:40:18.540 and they spend lots of money to watch the movies. And if that, if we have that little self-control,

00:40:26.140 then what hope is there? So yes, that is, if this is not a box office bomb, then America is officially

00:40:33.380 doomed. It is all over. That's what I'm saying. All right, here's a message from the U.S. Embassy in

00:40:41.580 Brazil. Watch this. Hi, my name is Mark, and I use he, him pronouns. You've probably noticed that

00:40:48.860 more and more people are stating their preferred pronouns when they introduce themselves in social

00:40:53.980 conversations, in classrooms, in the workplace, in their email signatures, and on social media.

00:41:00.540 The reason is simple. There is a range of gender identities beyond male and female.

00:41:05.660 In English, many use he, him, or she, her pronouns, but a growing number of people are using different

00:41:11.500 pronouns, like they, them, ze, them, ze, here, her, pers, and am. These are called gender-neutral pronouns.

00:41:19.580 They don't specify the gender of the subject of the sentence, and they exist because you can't

00:41:23.820 assume someone's gender just by looking at them. Words matter, and they are powerful tools to convey

00:41:29.660 meaning and connect more deeply with one another. Making incorrect assumptions about someone's gender,

00:41:35.820 that's a microaggression that could be hurtful for individuals who identify with certain communities,

00:41:40.220 such as transgender or queer communities. So, what's the best way to be sure you're using the right 0.54

00:41:45.980 pronouns? Just ask. Asking for and using someone's preferred pronouns show respect and help create

00:41:52.380 an inclusive environment. There you go, a little PSA. That's from the U.S. Embassy in Brazil. That's

00:41:58.380 the video they wanted to put out. And I don't know, I was just talking about how America is doomed. So,

00:42:02.540 this is, this is what we're exporting. This is the, this again is the colonization. Okay, we hear from the

00:42:09.500 left. They're constantly complaining about colonization. They're accusing, you know,

00:42:14.620 the West of being colonizers. And they're right, actually. But this, what they don't specify is that

00:42:22.780 this is the kind of colonization that we're doing. This, this, this is what it is. These are the

00:42:27.820 colonizers. That guy right there. People going around preaching about pronouns. These are

00:42:33.420 the colonizers in the 21st century world. Speaking of pronouns though, um, before we get to the

00:42:42.540 comment section, here's a little bit of good news. We had a lot of bad news. Now for some good news.

00:42:47.900 The Daily, Daily Mail has this report. Two workers at a Christian university in upstate New York have

00:42:52.620 lost their jobs after including their pronouns in their work email signatures and then ignoring the

00:42:57.900 university's request to remove them. Reagan Zelaya and Shua Wilma were both fired from their

00:43:02.220 positions as a resident, residence hall directors at Houghton University in upstate New York

00:43:07.100 after they refused to remove their pronouns in accordance with a newly introduced university

00:43:10.940 policy. The university, which is affiliated with a conservative branch of the Methodist church,

00:43:15.420 asked for their pronouns to be removed, but Zelaya and Wilmot refused to comply.

00:43:21.260 The pair were subsequently fired just before the end of the semester

00:43:24.700 and, uh, sparked protests on campus, but they're still being fired. And, um,

00:43:32.460 they, Zelaya and Wilmot, neither of whom are transgender have both experienced misgendering

00:43:37.020 due to their unique names. So this is part of the excuse that they gave is that, um,

00:43:43.020 is that they have unique names. And so people don't know just based on the names,

00:43:46.780 whether they're male or female. And, and that, that, that's true. Like sometimes just based on a

00:43:53.660 name, you don't know if someone's male or female. And when you want to address them,

00:43:57.500 especially if you're communicating through, uh, through written word through email or something,

00:44:01.900 and you want to be able to address them in response, then it helps to know whether you're

00:44:05.260 talking to a man or a woman. Um, and so that can be a problem. 0.94

00:44:08.620 Um, does that mean that you need to include your pronouns? Well, no, because let's think about how

00:44:15.020 did people, before all of this stuff was invented, okay, before the idea of preferred pronouns was

00:44:20.700 invented 15 seconds ago, people started listing their pronouns because up to 15 seconds ago,

00:44:25.580 nobody ever did that ever anywhere. So how did they do it? Oh, it's, it's, um, because you had

00:44:32.700 Mr. And miss that's, that's what that's for. So if you want people to know, you know, whether you're

00:44:41.660 male or female, that's, that's part of how you accomplish that by referring to yourself, you know,

00:44:47.060 you can be, uh, Mr. Zelaya or Miss Zelaya. I don't know what gender they are either, but the university

00:44:53.500 has no patience for the pronoun thing and fired them. And, uh, this is great news. This is exactly what 0.91

00:44:58.640 needs to happen. Um, this is what, you know, really any allegedly conservative or Christian 1.00

00:45:05.900 organization, if they are not firing people for listing their pronouns, then they, they need to

00:45:11.920 answer for that. They need to explain why they aren't because listing your pronouns. It is a,

00:45:17.260 it's a calling card. That's what it's meant to be. It's a virtue. It is a virtue signal, but you're

00:45:21.980 not signaling actual virtue. It's a, it's a signal to the left of, it's a signal of allegiance,

00:45:28.640 to the left. That's what it means every single time. It means either that you are, um, giving

00:45:35.960 your, pledging your allegiance to the left, signaling your allegiance to the left, or you

00:45:40.060 are surrendering to them, cooperating with leftism. But either way, if you work at a conservative

00:45:46.800 or a Christian organization, there should be no patience for that, no place for that silliness 1.00

00:45:51.580 whatsoever. And, you know, the only thing this university did wrong was giving them a chance

00:45:59.300 to take the pronoun signature down. So that's the only thing I, you know, beggars can't be choosers.

00:46:04.400 I'm not nitpicking, but if it, if it, if it was up to me and I was in charge of this institution

00:46:10.020 and you put your pronouns in your email signature, you're gone immediately. Like we're not having a

00:46:14.680 conversation. There's not any chance to explain yourself. You know, it's, you're gone. We, we don't,

00:46:19.560 we don't need you go somewhere else. So they, all that tells us though, is that they were gracious

00:46:26.360 and, uh, they were generous. Um, and these people decided to be insubordinate and they got fired.

00:46:34.020 And I think that's fantastic. Great news. Awesome work. Keep it up. Let's get to the comment section.

00:46:40.280 Well, all right, folks, I've been putting this off for some time now. Countless comments from members

00:46:52.540 of the sweet baby gang have forced me to engage in endless hours of deep introspection. And I've

00:46:57.240 now come to terms with the fact that I'm somehow responsible from what, for what I'm about to

00:47:01.880 address. Uh, my refusal to make a formal comment has to end. I'm done gaslighting the SBG hold up

00:47:10.920 sweet baby plush. Yes, this is a sweet baby plush. You are not hallucinating. Uh, he's been lurking

00:47:17.440 behind me in smug silence for months now. At first I thought this was a prank that the company was

00:47:21.960 playing on me as they prodded with, uh, Matt, the stuff Walbers was such a success. You know,

00:47:26.820 we have to make this next, but the joke didn't end there because it was, uh, it was not so much

00:47:31.620 a joke as it was an attempt to offend God and offend all people of, uh, all decent people with,

00:47:38.500 I can't even hold this thing and talk. I, I've been informed that as of today, you can get your own

00:47:43.640 very own stuffed sweet baby by purchasing yours from the swag shack at dailywire.com slash shop.

00:48:15.980 So adopt your sweet baby plushie at dailywire.com slash shop today while supplies last.

00:48:20.360 I never asked for this, but some of you have, and this is your fault. God help us all.

00:48:28.200 Christopher says, I'm not saying we shouldn't have sympathy for what happened to the city bike woman,

00:48:32.600 but you knew exactly how the woman in the video would react after the incident because of one

00:48:36.820 simple thing. She said in the heat of the moment, you're hurting my fetus. That tells you all you need

00:48:42.200 to know. Well, right. And I noticed that too, uh, when she is the pregnant hospital worker, 0.99

00:48:47.740 when she was being, uh, you know, when, when the, the black teens were trying to steal her bike and

00:48:51.360 blaming her and all that, the whole incident. Um, and she complained that, that, uh, they were

00:48:57.360 hurting her fetus. Yeah. I picked on that too. In fact, she said, you're hurting my fetus, you're

00:49:01.040 hurting my baby. So she, she changed it. You know, she said both, which is interesting, but certainly

00:49:07.140 that, that will, I mean, the fact that you live in New York already is a pretty good indication

00:49:12.320 that you're liberal, but you were referring to your own unborn child as a fetus. I mean,

00:49:18.620 just saying that my fetus just sounds bizarre. It sounds like you're intentionally dehumanizing

00:49:26.920 your own child and doing that in the heat of the moment, as you point out, when she's in distress

00:49:32.600 and rightly so, and yet she still makes that move, um, really does tell you what you need

00:49:40.720 to know about her. But, and that's why, and I, I understand the argument from some on the right

00:49:45.620 who say that, look, I don't care about any of these incidents. You know, you, you choose to live

00:49:50.260 in a city like that. You vote for this. And then even after you're victimized, you still are, are once

00:49:57.780 again, signaling your allegiance to the very people who are victimizing you. And if you're going to do

00:50:03.840 that, then what's, what is there for the rest of us to say? You've made your choice. You've made your

00:50:10.140 bed now, now lay in it. I don't care. And that's the attitude of some people on the right. And, uh,

00:50:15.180 there are some on the right who apply that basically to the entire epidemic of crime in

00:50:22.200 the cities. And they say, I don't care about any of it because if you're still living in one of these

00:50:27.240 cities at this point, then, you know, you, again, you've made your choice. I can't totally adopt that

00:50:34.560 attitude, um, for a few reasons. And one of them is that, look, an injustice is an injustice.

00:50:43.560 And also it's, it's not just about sympathy for her. It's about, um, a righteous anger towards the

00:50:53.320 predators. So that's the thing. Like when you say, Oh, I don't care about crime. I don't care about

00:50:57.700 this. You're letting the criminals and the predators off the hook. And I, I can't do that.

00:51:05.960 So it's my own desire for justice more than it is sympathy for people who are getting what they

00:51:10.780 voted for. Because I agree. I have very little sympathy for people who get what they vote for.

00:51:15.940 But at the same time, I desire to see justice. And I don't like to see bad guys getting their way.

00:51:21.400 And I don't like to see bad guys winning. And I don't want to see that. I want to see bad guys punished.

00:51:27.700 If not for the sake of the, um, people who are again, getting what they voted for,

00:51:32.740 just for the sake of, of justice in principle. And that to me is what is what a lot of the stuff

00:51:39.920 boils down to. Let's see. Soul Rebel says, I can't with this guy. One, everyone uses Karen, 0.99

00:51:47.080 not just black people. Two, the kids were not trying to destroy her life. She didn't work for them. And 0.85

00:51:51.960 I'm sure they never called her job. Three, if you want to use racist slurs so bad, go ahead. 0.69

00:51:57.700 Stop being an expletive. Um, everyone might use Karen. Well, not, not everyone. I don't use it.

00:52:07.040 Lots of people might use it, but the origins of the word are important. Um, the origins of the word

00:52:13.140 are very clear. And if you, if you listen to the left-wing media, they will, in that CNN article,

00:52:18.760 they admitted it. This, this is where it comes from. It originates as a term that, uh, that non-white 0.50

00:52:27.580 people started using to refer to white women. They don't like that's where it comes from. 0.76

00:52:34.420 Now you might say in this guy, well, it doesn't matter. The origin of the word doesn't matter.

00:52:38.900 All that matters is how it's used now. Well, that's really interesting because, uh,

00:52:44.000 something tells me that you would not use that same logic for other racial slurs. Now, would you?

00:52:51.220 Okay. There are other racial slurs. Uh, there's one big one in particular that comes immediately to

00:52:55.400 mind that has certain origins, but is now used casually all the time. In fact, it's used casually

00:53:02.400 constantly by the very people who, uh, were originally targeted by it. So does that mean that

00:53:09.120 that, that word has no meaning anymore? Anybody can use it. Something tells me you wouldn't say that.

00:53:13.320 So what you're really saying, you're, you're, whatever you, whatever you claim to, whatever

00:53:17.180 argument you claim to be making here, your real argument is again, that yes, this is a racial slur,

00:53:22.260 but it's targeting white women. And so it's okay. That's your actual argument.

00:53:27.880 Um, and as far as the kids not trying to destroy her life, they, they stole the bike,

00:53:33.400 um, filmed it and then posted it online, pretending that they were the victims of racism.

00:53:42.300 So yes, when you do that, you're trying to destroy somebody's life because that is very likely going

00:53:48.700 to be the effect. If you're not trying to seriously harm someone, why else would you do that?

00:53:55.280 Now you might point out that, well, why would they want to destroy your life? That doesn't make any

00:53:58.840 sense. What? Yeah. Really good question. Okay. Why do you have people that just for sport

00:54:05.100 are trying to destroy some random woman's life who they don't even know? Like, why can't they go on, 0.99

00:54:11.860 go on with your day, go do whatever you were doing, like leave her alone. How does this help you? How

00:54:16.740 does this make you feel good? That's a good question. I have the same question, but that is in fact what

00:54:23.280 they were doing. Um, Scott says, Matt, you posted that people who aren't married with kids shouldn't

00:54:29.480 give marriage advice. How is this any different from the trust the experts nonsense? Um, yeah,

00:54:36.940 I did. I think I posted on Twitter a few days ago and I've said that before. I would think that that

00:54:40.560 should be relatively uncontroversial, that if you want to give advice on marriage, you should at least

00:54:45.120 be married. But this, this is a problem now. There are a lot of people on social media who have, uh,

00:54:50.180 have, you know, fashioned themselves, you know, advice givers and gurus. And they,

00:54:55.880 they give a lot of a relationship advice. And my point is always, if you're going to give a

00:54:59.560 relationship advice, I want to know what your relationship resume is first. Like, have you

00:55:05.600 actually been in a successful relationship? And what is a successful relationship? A successful

00:55:11.160 relationship is one that leads to marriage and then you stay married and then you form a family

00:55:17.200 together. That that's how you, you're now on your way to a successful relationship. And if you

00:55:23.800 haven't done that, then you have not yet had a fully successful relationship, which means that

00:55:29.820 you can't give relationship advice. Now, how is this different than trust the experts? Well,

00:55:33.900 because trust the experts is, is a, a phrase that is used to stop people from making basic

00:55:42.480 common sense, factual observations. So if I say that men have penises, only women can give birth, 0.99

00:55:53.420 um, you shouldn't castrate little kids. These are basic common sense, factual statements and 0.99

00:56:02.080 observations about the world. And you, you don't need a PhD. You don't need any kind of experience

00:56:06.800 really to know that. So anybody who uses trust the experts about that, it's obvious that they're

00:56:12.360 just trying to shut down dissent. They're trying to shut down, um, ideas and arguments and statements

00:56:17.400 that they, they can't otherwise engage with. But when it comes to marriage advice, it's not,

00:56:22.420 you know, if you're giving marriage advice and relationship advice, you're not, you're not so

00:56:28.100 much making simple factual statements, um, like you would about biological sex. You were, this is

00:56:35.880 about wisdom. Okay. You're telling people how to do something. So it's sort of the difference

00:56:40.540 between, between, between telling somebody the what versus the how. So anybody can talk

00:56:46.440 about the what, but how do you do it? How does it work? Um, how can you be in a relationship

00:56:54.420 and stay married and, and, and do so successfully? Well, then you need to have some experience in

00:57:00.760 that area. I think then you need actual wisdom. And I think what I'm saying right now is pretty

00:57:07.440 common sense, or at least you, you would imagine that it would be.

00:57:10.540 You know, if you along with tens of millions of people watched Netflix's hit show, Making

00:58:16.840 Well, if you think that Bud Light holds the title for worst handling of a PR crisis,

00:58:21.280 then you obviously haven't heard about the LA Dodgers. So let's review. One week ago,

00:58:26.660 the Los Angeles Dodgers announced that they would be celebrating their 10th annual LGBTQ plus Pride

00:58:31.700 Night on June 16th by giving an award to a group of drag queens. Baseball club planned to bestow the

00:58:38.260 honor of community heroes. So these are community heroes and they're going to bestow it onto the

00:58:44.360 Los Angeles chapter of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. For those who are blessedly unfamiliar 1.00

00:58:49.600 with this group, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are drag queens who dress up like sacrilegious 1.00

00:58:55.260 caricatures of nuns. Now they in fact make a mockery of the whole process of becoming and being a

00:59:01.560 nun in the Catholic church. Just like actual nuns, new members of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence 0.99

00:59:06.340 are called postulants. And then they graduate to novices and then they become sisters. At the

00:59:11.600 group's founding, actually, they used to use actual religious habits that had been worn by Catholic

00:59:15.840 nuns as their costumes. And these days, the men take on names like Sister Erotica Psychotica, 0.90

00:59:22.240 Sister Mary Effing Poppins, and Sister Magically Delicious. And as you can see, if you look at

00:59:28.480 just some pictures of these guys, they dress as, again, sexualized, satanic parodies of nuns. 0.98

00:59:36.900 The entire act is meant to be an anti-Catholic mockery. As I mentioned in the past, my own little 0.94

00:59:43.060 sister is a nun. She's also the nicest, most charitable and gracious person you're likely to

00:59:48.900 ever meet in your life. So I must admit that I take the grotesque, monstrous parody of the Sisters

00:59:57.440 of Perpetual Indulgence, a little bit personally. These are grown men specifically picking on and

01:00:04.420 mocking women who have devoted their lives to prayer and service and helping the poor and needy.

01:00:11.520 I cannot think of anyone less deserving of this level of disrespect, but that, of course,

01:00:17.300 is exactly why they're targeted. Evil hates the light, and my own sister and her sisters in the

01:00:24.160 convent are full of light, and so they're hated. Of course, the L.A. Dodgers, if they were looking

01:00:29.740 for community heroes, they could have given their award to actual nuns or anyone else who serves

01:00:35.660 their community and helps the less fortunate. There are plenty of people still doing that.

01:00:39.760 These drag queens, they serve no one but themselves and their own desires. It's right there in the name, 1.00

01:00:45.000 Perpetual Indulgence. Leaving aside the anti-Catholic bigotry, it's hard to see how perpetually

01:00:51.560 indulging your own desires is heroic. But that's the point, obviously. In the inverted world of

01:00:57.900 Satanism, vice is virtue, weakness is courage, and selfishness is heroic. That's the message that

01:01:04.000 the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence seek to spread, and it's what the L.A. Dodgers decided to

01:01:08.340 officially endorse, until they thought better of it anyway, because shortly after inviting the

01:01:13.760 Satanic Sisters to their pride night, the Dodgers rescinded the invitation and they apologized.

01:01:18.580 The organization released a statement acknowledging that the inclusion of anti-Catholic drag queens who 0.55

01:01:24.600 dress like sexualized nuns has somehow shockingly offended some of their fans. And so they said

01:01:30.960 they'll no longer be included in the event, and they're sorry about it. Now, the Dodgers said that

01:01:37.780 the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence would be removed from this year's list of community hero honorees.

01:01:44.060 But that, of course, wasn't the end of the story. LGBT activists were obviously furious. They wailed,

01:01:51.020 and they screamed, and they cried. They declared that it's somehow homophobic and bigoted to not

01:01:56.720 include men in sexualized nun costumes in your event. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence were not

01:02:03.220 merely privileged to be invited. They have apparently a God-given right to be there. They have a right to be

01:02:09.540 everywhere, and to do anything they want, and to be showered with praise and adulation all the time

01:02:15.060 from everyone. Anything short of that, anything less than absolute, unanimous, unquestioned worship

01:02:23.020 is a hate crime. It is a genocide. It is an anti-drag holocaust. This was the argument that LGBT 0.99

01:02:30.880 activists made, and they only had to make it once before the LA Dodgers caved. Last night, the Dodgers

01:02:36.020 released another statement. This one adorned with the, this one they had the club logo adorned in

01:02:41.900 the colors of the gay pride rainbow, and the groveling statement reads, quote,

01:02:46.300 after much thoughtful feedback from our diverse communities, honest conversations within the Los

01:02:50.840 Angeles Dodgers organization, and generous discussions with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence,

01:02:55.420 the Los Angeles Dodgers would like to offer our sincerest apologies to the Sisters of Perpetual 0.99

01:02:59.600 Indulgence, members of the LGBTQ plus community, and their friends and families. We have asked the 1.00

01:03:04.680 sisters to take the place, their place on the field at our 10th annual LGBTQ plus Pride Night

01:03:09.960 on June 16th. We are pleased to share that they have agreed to receive the gratitude of our collective

01:03:14.500 communities for the life-saving work that they have done tirelessly for decades. In the weeks ahead,

01:03:19.760 we will continue to work with our LGBTQ plus partners to better educate ourselves, find ways to strengthen

01:03:25.120 the ties that bind, and use our platform to support all of our fans who make up the diversity of the

01:03:30.760 Dodgers family. Now, I was interested, as you probably are, to hear about the life-saving work

01:03:37.080 done by cross-dressing men in satanic nun costumes. I had to look it up to find out more. I mean, do these

01:03:43.240 people moonlight as shock trauma surgeons? Do they wear their nun outfits to the beach and work as life 0.89

01:03:49.340 guards? Which lives have been saved by the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence exactly? Who is alive today

01:03:59.140 because of a dude in a nun costume? Well, it's not going to surprise you to learn that the claim is just

01:04:05.000 simply nonsense. They aren't doing any life-saving work or any worthwhile work of any kind at all.

01:04:10.580 They are called, again, the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, not the Sisters of Perpetual Service or

01:04:17.200 the Sisters of Perpetual Self-Sacrifice. That's what real nuns are about. These men are all about

01:04:24.740 themselves. That's what the left means now when they talk about life-saving work. They believe

01:04:30.420 that the indulgence, indeed, the perpetual indulgence of desire, the acting out of every

01:04:36.140 inclination, every fetish, is a life-or-death matter because they can't conceive of how a person could

01:04:42.400 possibly live if they're not able to do whatever they want all the time in every conceivable context.

01:04:48.340 They have made selfishness not only into a virtue but into a necessity. It is life-sustaining.

01:04:56.820 That's how we have to understand life-saving work in this context. That's what they mean when they say

01:05:00.900 it. And how can we understand the L.A. Dodgers exactly? How do we understand their own behavior?

01:05:07.200 Well, cowardice on top of cowardice on top of incompetence. First, they decide to invite the 0.79

01:05:13.280 anti-Catholic drag queens, apparently unaware that the decision will be remotely controversial.

01:05:18.800 Then they immediately backpedal as soon as they detect a whiff of controversy. And then they

01:05:22.240 backpedal again when the backpedaling proved controversial. And now they're back where they

01:05:26.820 started after having angered everybody on all sides. Which means that now they're going to engage

01:05:31.920 in this display during Pride Night that is absolutely guaranteed to rightly offend a large portion of

01:05:38.280 their fan base. Many fans will be alienated. No new fans will be made. Okay? There's not anybody who's

01:05:46.280 going to be an L.A. Dodgers fan now that they've invited these satanic drag queen nuns to the event. 1.00

01:05:52.640 There are some people who won't be anymore, but there's not going to be any new fans.

01:05:57.760 Because this is the deal that LGBT activists make. It's the offer that so many organizations

01:06:02.740 feel they can't refuse. Though really, they very much can refuse, and they should.

01:06:07.920 The offer is that you debase and humiliate yourself. You alienate your base. Grovel before the LGBT 1.00

01:06:16.360 altar. And in exchange, you get nothing in return. Give up your honor and your dignity and receive

01:06:23.480 nothing. Receive nothing but more demands and more accusations. Because once you give in to these

01:06:30.580 people, they're going to want more and more, and it will never end. So let the old anti-drug slogan

01:06:39.200 become the anti-woke slogan, which is just say no. Just say no. Say no to them every time. Say no.

01:06:47.840 Move on. Let them cry about it. That's what the Dodgers should have done. But they were too stupid

01:06:54.440 and too cowardly. And that's why they are today finally canceled. And that'll do it for this 1.00

01:07:01.260 portion of the show. As we move over to the members block, you can become a member today by
