00:00:00.000Today on The Matt Walsh Show, in our latest investigation, we've revealed internal documents from Fox showing just how deep the cultural rot at that company goes.
00:00:07.280When it comes to corporate wokeism, Fox is one of the top offenders, and we'll talk about that today.
00:00:12.260Also, a top official with Space Force admits that they prioritize inclusiveness and tolerance over actual merit and qualification.
00:00:18.720Plus, Rolling Stone publishes its hit piece on me, and it's one of my favorite hit pieces of all time.
00:00:23.520And the youth are finally rebelling against the Pride agenda.
00:00:26.160This is a great sign for our country and the future.
00:00:28.420We'll talk about all that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:39.520Living a healthy lifestyle isn't always easy, especially when you're always on the go.
00:00:42.960You need simple, manageable routines to make sure that you're getting the proper nutrition every day, which is why I'm a huge fan of Balance of Nature.
00:00:48.980Balance of Nature fruits and veggies are a great way to make sure you're getting essential nutritional ingredients every single day.
00:00:54.080Their capsules are packed with 100% whole food that you can take at any time.
00:00:57.200Balance of Nature uses a cold vacuum process that preserves the natural phytonutrients in whole fruits and vegetables and encapsulates them for easy consumption.
00:01:04.960Balance of Nature sent a bunch of their products down to the studio for my team to try.
00:01:26.260For 120 straight weeks, Fox News was the most watched cable news network in prime time.
00:01:32.180Its main competitors, MSNBC and CNN, never came close.
00:01:35.480In the key advertising demographic, people between the ages of 25 and 54, Fox News was the undisputed leader for a long time.
00:01:41.800But last week, after nearly two months of declining ratings following the ouster of Tucker Carlson, Fox News' streak came to a very abrupt and unceremonious end.
00:01:51.640On Friday, Fox News recorded its worst performance in prime time in the network's history.
00:01:56.640Just 109,000 people between the ages of 25 and 54, again, the key demographic, tuned into Tucker Carlson's old 8 p.m. time slot to watch the replacement show, which is called Fox News Tonight.
00:02:10.600Well, to put it in context, Fox News Tonight was ranked 41st out of all cable news shows on Friday.
00:02:16.200This is the time slot that used to be routinely ranked number one out of all shows on cable.
00:02:20.500Now there are, like, YouTube streams of people playing with Legos that get more viewers than Fox does in the key demo in prime time.
00:02:29.340And keep in mind also, Fox News attracted those 109,000 viewers on a really busy news night.
00:02:34.400This was after the announcement of Donald Trump's indictment.
00:02:37.440Not many people cared what Fox News anchors had to say about one of the biggest news stories in American political history.
00:02:44.300Now, whatever you make of that, it's clear that the implosion of Fox News is well underway, and it's showing no signs of stopping.
00:02:52.600This week, as Tucker discussed on his Twitter show yesterday, Fox News executives publicly condemned a veteran producer who wrote a banner that was critical of Joe Biden.
00:03:02.040Now, five years ago, the banner wouldn't have attracted any attention whatsoever.
00:03:06.400But under the current leadership of Fox News, it led to the producer leaving the network within 48 hours.
00:03:12.740Beneath those videos at the bottom of the screen, Fox's banner read this way, quote,
00:03:18.660Those words were up for less than 30 seconds, but the effect was immediate.
00:03:28.240Inside Fox, the women who run the network panicked.
00:03:31.060First, they scolded the producer who put the banner on the screen.
00:03:34.500Less than 24 hours after that, he resigned.
00:03:37.340He'd been at Fox for more than a decade.
00:03:39.040He was considered one of the most capable people in the building.
00:03:41.620He offered to stay for the customary two weeks, but Fox told him to clear out his desk and leave immediately.
00:03:47.380Now, that banner is the most interesting thing that's happened in that time slot for about two months, which, of course, means that Fox News cracks down on it.
00:03:59.240What's happening at Fox, though, feels familiar.
00:04:00.980The network is on the same trajectory that we saw with Bud Light, with Target.
00:04:05.500Fox News executives, for some reason, are apparently destroying their own product.
00:04:11.860And now they've obviously lost the trust of their customer base.
00:04:15.140They didn't just fire their top-performing host in the single most important hour in television without providing any justification for it.
00:04:23.820And they've also been, even before that, relentlessly promoting transgenderism across all their platforms.
00:04:31.000They've made Caitlyn Jenner one of their top contributors.
00:04:33.580In every article about Dylan Mulvaney or any other trans activist, they diligently make sure to respect the preferred pronouns.
00:04:41.620Fox News' parent company, Fox Corporation, is even sponsoring a pride parade.
00:04:45.580All of this is driving Fox News' viewers away.
00:04:50.080It's hard not to wonder what's happening at Fox News and whether there's any chance the company, which was once trusted by millions of people, can ever recover.
00:04:57.900Well, yesterday my team and I broke a story on Twitter based on internal documents we obtained from Fox News employees revealing the shocking extent to which Fox Corp is celebrating Pride Month.
00:05:09.560I encourage you to read the entire thread on Twitter to get all the facts on the story.
00:05:13.160I must warn you, though, what we found included very sexually explicit content.
00:05:17.940I don't have to tell you that I have a lot to say about that, which I'm going to get into right now.
00:05:22.760And what we found illustrates how deep the rot goes and how unsalvageable the whole organization truly is.
00:05:29.740These are documents that are produced by Fox Corporation.
00:05:32.240They're presented to Fox News employees when they log into their employee portal.
00:05:36.080And the documents show that the leadership of Fox Corporation apparently despises their viewers and everything they stand for.
00:05:44.620I mean, this is a company that abhors not only traditional values, but also basic human decency, it would seem.
00:06:03.520These are literal holes in the wall where men anonymously receive oral sex.
00:06:09.280Fox's executives want their employees to learn all about them.
00:06:12.740Now, if you went up to a co-worker and wherever you work and you started talking in graphic detail or any detail at all about glory holes, you get hit with a sexual harassment lawsuit.
00:06:25.260But this is what Fox is telling its employees to read.
00:06:28.980And that's not the only pornographic topic that Fox is pushing on its workers.
00:06:32.600We'll get more into that in just a moment.
00:06:34.060In addition to the porn, Fox is also encouraging everyone at the company to donate to organizations that administer sterilizing hormones to young people, including homeless youth.
00:06:44.940This is something that on air, Fox News occasionally pretends is a bad thing.
00:06:48.620But internally, Fox Corp is promoting it with enthusiasm.
00:06:53.100Pull back the curtain and there's really not much daylight between the Fox boardroom and the faculty lounge at UC Berkeley.
00:07:00.560And actually, in some respects, Fox is even worse than Berkeley.
00:07:03.000Because Fox has gone high tech with its DEI agenda, just in case any employees at the network stepped out of line.
00:07:11.480You always have to worry about that, of course.
00:07:12.880The documents we've obtained also show that Fox leadership experimented with an artificial intelligence program that pushes, quote, diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace.
00:07:22.740Now, this AI, with the rather dystopian name Escalera, advertises that it can track the progress of organizations towards certain DEI goals.
00:07:33.800Yesterday, we uploaded the documents outlining all of this and everything else we're talking about on my Twitter feed.
00:07:38.360And you can check them out there if you haven't already.
00:07:40.980Again, the materials come from Fox's employee portal, which Fox News employees access from there.
00:07:48.140Here's a screenshot of one of the documents.
00:07:49.700We'll put it up on the screen so you can see it.
00:07:51.160And you can see that Fox Corp encourages, again, its employees to donate to a variety of organizations and says it will even help match funds to these groups.
00:08:00.280Well, let's go through a couple of them.
00:08:01.500According to Fox, employees should donate to the Trevor Project because it's supposedly devoted to helping LGBTQ young people ages 13 to 24.
00:08:11.520How exactly does the Trevor Project help these youths?
00:08:14.440Well, as the National Review reported recently, they run a chat room that allows 13-year-olds to connect with LGBTQ adults to talk about, among other things, sexually explicit topics.
00:08:25.920As the National Review put it, it's a, quote, Pandora's box of depravity.
00:08:30.500Reportedly, there's no age requirement or verification whatsoever.
00:08:33.860In many cases, these adults tell children in the chat rooms how to obtain medication, products like chest binders, without alerting their parents.
00:08:43.800One chat from an adult, which children could see, began with the adult talking about his urge to masturbate.
00:08:50.880And it goes on from there in graphic detail.
00:08:53.200In another chat hosted by Trevor Project, an adult starts talking about doggy style, quote, unquote,
00:08:58.200and a user under the age of 18 responds saying he also wants to try it.
00:09:02.380Now, none of this is new information, by the way.
00:09:46.880As if to erase any doubt about that, Fox also encourages donations to the Los Angeles LGBT Center,
00:09:53.400which openly brags about giving hormones to children.
00:09:57.300And that organization even uploaded a video of a mother, quote,
00:10:00.900surprising her trans daughter with first dose of hormones.
00:10:04.740Now, YouTube took that video down for terms of service violations,
00:10:07.340but a screenshot is still on Twitter, which, again, you can find on my Twitter page.
00:10:11.020By itself, all of this is alarming, to say the least.
00:10:13.780Again, Fox is matching employee donations to these far-left groups.
00:10:19.720You know, and you have to ask, why exactly are Fox executives taking the position that their employees should support the chemical sterilization of minors?
00:10:30.900We obtained other documents from the Fox employee portal, and after reviewing those documents,
00:10:38.120the answer is obvious, to me anyway, personally, that Fox is run by a bunch of highly dedicated, godless perverts.
00:10:45.520There's really no other way to describe this.
00:10:47.860They want to impose their sexual fantasies on other people, whether it's children or their own employees.
00:10:53.160And we know that because Fox's executives recommend several books to their employees to read.
00:10:58.960One of the books is called Fairest, and it's by Meredith Taliesin.
00:11:03.760Here's a quote from the book early on.
00:27:57.460But if the qualification you're looking for is that someone can do the job and then it turns out that the most qualified person is black or the most qualified person is, quote unquote, diverse as in a non-white male, then fine.
00:28:15.080But you don't need to take that into consideration.
00:28:22.520And if that means that you end up with an institution or organization that's very, quote unquote, diverse, then fine.
00:28:29.620If it means you end up with an institution that's 99% white male, then fine.
00:28:36.020That's the only sane, common sense way to approach this.
00:28:41.780And any other way ultimately leads to this.
00:28:44.600Now, last week, moving on, I think it was last week, I mentioned an email that we got from Rolling Stone where they were asking me for comment on a hit piece that they were getting ready to publish about me and some other conservatives.
00:28:58.460And I declined to participate in my own hit piece as much as I was thankful for the offer.
00:29:04.500It was a very generous offer, but I declined to participate.
00:29:07.180I did say that I would give them a comment if they could, if the Rolling Stone could first define the word woman.
00:29:27.220So I'm going to read a little bit of this.
00:29:28.940A few minutes into the documentary, What is a Woman?
00:29:30.680Matt Walsh is seen striding into the woods with a fishing rod, his plaid shirt, vest, and close-cropped beard, giving off lumberjack dad energy.
00:29:38.400Well, let's come out here to think, he intones as he casts his line into the water.
00:29:41.700Nature seems to always tell the truth.
00:29:51.580Are any of my kids who they claim to be?
00:29:53.280So begins that film, which premiered in June 2022, and features Walsh peppering a series of healthcare providers, politicians, and LGBTQ activists with questions intended to expose what he refers to as the insane ideological cult of gender ideology.
00:30:06.040Walsh travels the world asking people to define the word woman, and so on and so forth.
00:30:09.840It ends with Walsh posing the question to his wife, who defines the term as an adult human female, then hands him a pickle jar to open.
00:30:15.020And the article goes into detail about, you know, the origin story.
00:30:19.400It says that I, quote, lack the star power of my boss, Ben Shapiro.
00:30:42.140The film did tremendous damage in terms of helping to, quote, amplify anti-trans ideology, making it mainstream, providing it to a bigger audience, says R.G. Cravens, research analyst at the Southern Poverty Law Center.
00:30:54.160It took advantage of the underlying transphobia that exists in the country.
00:30:58.080It also helped legitimize Walsh as a political authority, leading to an invitation for him to testify in front of the Tennessee House Committee regarding a bill banning gender-affirming care for minors.
00:31:06.660Then it goes into the success of the film.
00:31:08.280I mean, I'm just reading through this, and I was waiting to get to the part, you know, usually in a hit piece, you get to the part where it's like, okay, there's the hit.
00:31:14.820And the entire thing is just about how the film was massively successful and influential, painting me as one of the leaders of the conservative movement.
00:31:26.020And that's how they decided to attack me.
00:31:27.580And I have to say, it's really awful stuff.
00:32:37.480Just dismantle the movie piece by piece, especially if you are acknowledging that it's influential, successful, very, according to them, quote, damaging, damaging to their agenda, which it is.
00:33:15.280They've had a year, and they haven't been able to do it because they know they can't, which is why, up until recently, they decided to just ignore it, and now they can't even do that anymore.
00:35:53.420And in this case, the Biden administration had to pretend briefly to have some common sense for a change.
00:36:01.100Operative word, of course, being pretend.
00:36:02.600Though I, I must admit that my favorite thing in that clip and the reason I wanted to play it was just at the end there where Karen Jean-Pierre stipulates that this has not occurred before.
00:36:12.620But she said, this is not a normal thing under this administration.
00:36:15.740So you know things are bad when you have to clarify that.
00:36:18.660You know it's not a good sign when you actually have to clarify that you don't usually allow shirtless transgenders to run around outside the White House.
00:36:26.820Like when you have to tell people that we don't, we don't, it's not part of our normal policy.
00:36:30.460But I think there are, there are two important points here that I think a lot of people missed about this whole thing.
00:36:36.600Aside from the fact that the Biden administration is a traveling circus, a freak show, you know, we know all of that.
00:36:45.700And the first is that, as we covered, trans activists are accustomed to being given free reign to do whatever they want.
00:36:52.420So there's a sense of entitlement there.
00:36:54.240And this trans activist just like, it didn't even, it really didn't occur to him that he wouldn't, that he shouldn't do that.
00:37:01.300Because he's used to operating in a society, being in the most privileged group of Americans that have ever existed as a trans person.
00:37:09.160There's no one more, there's no one more privileged that's ever, there's no category of person more privileged than a trans identifying person in the year 2023 in modern America.
00:37:18.580And he's, he's used to, he's used to operating in the world that way.
00:37:22.180And so it just, you figure, well, of course I got to do this because I want to do it.
00:37:35.140So there is no family friendly, wholesome version of pride.
00:37:40.380Because if there was, you'd think that's what you would see at the White House.
00:37:44.980At the White House, you're going to see what would be the most sanitized and the most, quote unquote, if there's, if it's possible to have a family friendly version of pride, that's what the White House would give you.
00:37:58.540And yet even there, you've got a shirtless trans dude running around.
00:38:02.520And that should tell you that pride is inherently, at its core, not a wholesome family friendly thing.
00:38:10.540It is aggressively sexual and degenerate at its core.
00:38:32.420Of course, we know Bud Light and Target.
00:38:34.500Other companies seem to have very much toned down their pride celebrations.
00:38:38.160There was a report a few days ago that Starbucks had banned pride decorations from their stores.
00:38:42.820And they now, the company then came out and said, that's not true.
00:38:45.160So you can trust who you want on that one.
00:38:49.040But the pride movement is losing ground culturally.
00:38:52.420And there is perhaps no better evidence than this.
00:38:55.060Here's a news report about how some students at a school are responding to the pride efforts at that school.
00:39:01.360Plays of intolerance and homophobia are unacceptable.
00:39:05.500This type of intolerant rhetoric starts in the home.
00:39:08.200Parents angry at town hall over intolerance at Marshall Simons Middle School.
00:39:13.120Kids were asked to wear rainbow clothes in honor of Pride Spirit Day.
00:39:17.060But some organized a counter protest wearing red, white and blue or black.
00:39:21.760The principal sharing a statement to families that pride posters were ripped down, stickers ripped up.
00:39:27.820Some students chanted USA are my pronouns and students showing pride were intimidated.
00:39:33.520It was an unruly disruption, in fact, that was organized ahead of time.
00:39:38.400While some parents were upset, others say it was overblown.
00:39:42.140Some of the kids threw the stickers on the ground.
00:39:44.160But, you know, I can only speak for my daughter.
00:39:45.820She just, she didn't want to wear that to school.
00:39:48.080It's not that she wanted to hurt anybody's feelings.
00:39:50.300She says her daughter felt coerced to participate in the Pride event and was offended by some of the messages, like this quote from Tennessee Williams.
00:41:34.140Because this is, you know, I think, I think back to when I was in middle school or high school.
00:41:37.820And if we had a teacher try to play a pride video for us, it's exactly how we would have responded to it, just by laughing at it, which is the correct response.
00:41:48.640This is how our kids should be raised to respond to this kind of propaganda this way.
00:41:53.840Respond to it dismissively and with mockery.
00:41:58.500But then the other thing that we take from this, and this is really important, and this is maybe one of the great advantages that we have right now.
00:42:06.260The disadvantage is that the left owns all the institutions, almost all the positions of power.
00:42:49.460I mean, when you're a math teacher, when you're like the middle-aged woman teaching you math in 10th grade or whatever is pushing this, it's not cool anymore.
00:42:57.180If you really have a rebellious spirit, you know, if you want to rebel, then that means rejecting all of that.
00:43:06.060And I think that that's something that we can, that's an advantage we have that we should be harnessing to our advantage.
00:43:16.900It takes a special kind of company to want to partner with my show.
00:43:34.040You know, I say a lot of things that make a lot of people angry, and this tends to scare off advertisers.
00:43:37.760I will admit that's why I'm so grateful for partners like Pure Talk who stand behind me and my show no matter the consequences they might face.
00:43:45.460Pure Talk shares my values, which is why we've made them the official cell phone wireless partner of The Daily Wire.
00:43:57.600Their plans are top tier, but at a fraction of the cost of AT&T, Verizon, or T-Mobile, you get unlimited talk, text, and unlimited data with a mobile hotspot for just $55 a month.
00:44:31.420All right, so I'm taking a break momentarily from some of the political stuff, pulling some of these comments from a video we posted on YouTube during the time off where I'm giving some dad advice, just some, you know, assuming my role is internet dad.
00:44:49.860F.B. Jones said, I would add to the first letter advice, teach your kids futility.
00:44:57.700Throwing tantrums is, like Matt said, a natural part of developing social skills by not giving in to your kids, not coddling them when they cry out because they didn't get their way.
00:45:05.400You teach them that you aren't always going to get what you want.
00:45:09.620This is a lesson sorely lacking within the youngest generations now.
00:45:12.880It's the type of thing that leads directly to kids on college campuses protesting someone speaking because they think they don't like them or demanding safe spaces.
00:45:19.900There's an excellent book on this topic, Hold On to Your Kids, by Gabor Mate, I think is how you pronounce it, M-A-T-E.
00:45:26.880Recommended it to all parents and aspiring parents, even recommended it to people who want to analyze their own childhoods.
00:45:33.520Also, The Coddling of the American Mind by Jonathan Haidt.
00:45:35.760Yeah, I've mentioned Hold On to Your Kids before, and I think I've mentioned it and said that it's the only parenting book I've ever read in my life.
00:45:43.620And interestingly enough, I read it before I was even a parent.
00:45:45.880It was recommended to me, and I read it.
00:45:47.060And at the time, I read it, as you say, from the perspective of, like, looking back on my own childhood.
00:46:00.740It's a cliche to say this now, but it's also true that a lot of what we're seeing on college campuses and, I mean, I say among the young generation, really all generations of Americans at this point nearly, you're seeing partially the fruits of parenting that did not involve the word no.
00:46:18.800I mean, there's a real power in the word no, and people need to hear it.
00:47:29.200And there might even be times when you want to do something and you can't, and you don't even really understand why you can't, but you still can't.
00:47:38.320And you have to follow those rules because not only are there rules that you have to follow, but also it's, it's not my job to make sure that you agree with all the rules.
00:47:48.440I don't have to constantly explain them to you.
00:47:52.180You, you simply, you'd have to do as you're told.
00:47:54.540Respect your elders, respect me as a position of authority.
00:47:59.460Uh, and if children are not taught them, then it, uh, I mean, it does immense psychological damage and they become, they become non-functioning adults.
00:48:11.040They become adults who cannot function in the world.
00:48:12.800They cannot deal with any kind of rejection.
00:48:15.880They can't deal with encountering anything they don't agree with or don't like.
00:48:20.080They, they fall apart because they never got that essential training as kids.
00:48:51.480Be vigilant about nap times and meal times.
00:48:53.340If those needs aren't the problem, if they're just wanting their own way, then require a calm face, voice, and body before they can talk to you.
00:48:59.840If their wants are reasonable and expressed calmly, give it to them.
00:49:02.860If they're not, say no and don't negotiate.
00:49:07.920Yeah, that is also, because there's, there's the other side of this too, which is where you don't want to cave to your child when they're having a temper tantrum.
00:49:15.240Uh, at the same time, like screaming at them is not going to be the right approach, uh, for a number of reasons.
00:49:22.360And one of them is that, is that you, you, you are trying to teach your child how to control their emotions.
00:49:29.660And if you are screaming, control your emotions and screaming this at them, then you're sort of sending the wrong message.
00:49:35.440You know, you're showing that you can't control your own emotions at the same time.
00:49:39.120Um, and that's also an important thing.
00:49:42.080Another comment says, Matt unknowingly outlines gentle parenting, which is incredible.
00:49:51.140But this is another problem that we have as parents now, because there are a million parenting books out there that people read, I guess.
00:49:58.700And each book has its own, like, strategy that we put a certain label on.
00:50:03.640And, oh, well, I'm, I'm this kind of parent, or I'm that kind of parent, or I, I employ this parenting strategy.
00:50:09.260How about you just, you, you do what, you figure out what actually works and what's going, and all your children, or if you have multiple children, they're all going to be different.
00:50:23.480And when I say works, it doesn't just mean what works to shut them up and make your life easier.
00:50:28.020Because we already know what works for that the best.
00:50:30.620What works for that is give them all the electronic devices, give them a phone, give them a video game, video games, put them in front of a TV.
00:50:37.780And that's what, you know, that's what works to just shut them up and make your life easier.
00:50:42.780But that's not what I mean when I say what works.
00:50:44.320But when I say what works, it's, it's what's going to work towards helping them to become good, well-adjusted functioning people.
00:51:03.720If we've got to put a label on it, that's the label I would choose.

00:52:06.540As you may know, we've been in an ongoing battle with one of the biggest social media platforms out there.
00:52:11.180Last month, I was demonetized on YouTube, and Candace Owens and Michael Knowles were both suspended for seven days.
00:52:16.320Even Dr. Jordan B. Peterson was given a channel warning.
00:52:19.620Most of these so-called violations stem from our coverage of the transgender debate.
00:52:23.860Being expected to adhere to vague, arbitrary, and constantly changing rules has become increasingly frustrating, to say the least.
00:52:30.280These rules contradict everything we stand for.
00:52:32.780However, we will not stop speaking the truth, and we will not allow the left to restrict us from reaching the audience that needs to hear this debate the most.
00:52:41.840As our CEO, Jeremy Boren, recently tweeted, quote,
00:52:44.220If platforms like YouTube believe in free speech, then they must change these vague and capricious policies and their arbitrary enforcement.
00:52:50.780In the meantime, we'll keep fighting and speaking the truth wherever we can.
00:52:54.920You know, it's become glaringly obvious that we cannot rely on many third-party sites to support us.

00:53:27.820Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:53:29.020If there's one thing that the absolute worst elements of our society depend on, maybe more than anything else,
00:53:37.640it's that the majority of sane people have a lot going on in their lives.
00:53:40.940You know, they have jobs, families, hobbies.
00:53:42.680They can't keep track of every big scandal they hear about on television and follow it for years to figure out how it turned out.
00:53:48.560They don't have the time to do that, even if they wanted to.
00:53:50.680And that's a boon in particular to the modern media, because they know that they can invent whatever lies they want in order to whip millions of people into a frenzy.
00:53:58.340By the time the truth comes out, most people will have moved on with their lives.
00:54:01.240They'll have already voted in whatever election was coming up.
00:54:03.240They certainly won't demand mass firings of all the editors and reporters who lied to them.
00:54:08.920And if you doubt that, try to recall, just as an example, who exactly told you that Michael Brown was a good kid who had his hands up yelling,
00:54:16.720don't shoot, when a white supremacist police officer in Ferguson, Missouri shot him for no reason?
00:54:21.820Can you name any news anchor or journalist specifically who said that?
00:54:26.620I mean, they all did, but like, what's one particular one?
00:54:29.780It's impossible to single someone out because the entirety of the corporate media was telling the same lie in unison for six months.
00:54:37.060And then after all that time and after a wave of deadly riots, the Obama DOJ was forced to admit that actually this good kid was not executed in the middle of the street for no reason.
00:54:46.000And oh, yeah, he didn't have his hands up in surrender either.
00:54:48.020In reality, he had charge of the police officer assaulting him and trying to take his gun.
00:54:52.660And he did that after he roughed up a store owner and stole some cigars.
00:54:56.960Did any of that extra context matter, though?
00:54:59.860To this day, college kids still gather in the street yelling, hands up, don't shoot, in honor of Michael Brown.
00:55:04.900It's not just BLM enforcers in Antifa who say that.
00:55:07.500A lot of normal, everyday people have the same totally inaccurate view of what happened.
00:55:14.260What's unspoken here, what no one dares to say in the media, regardless of partisan affiliation,
00:55:19.200is who the actual victims of these charades are.
00:55:22.560Now, on the right, you'll occasionally hear people talk about, you know, Michael Brown and his crimes and how he wasn't really a victim.
00:55:27.300But the name Darren Wilson is usually ignored in those conversations.
00:55:31.440He's the police officer who happens to be white, who spotted Michael Brown walking in the middle of the street nearly a decade ago.
00:55:37.260He's the cop Michael Brown started punching without any provocation.
00:55:55.720The term scapegoat comes from the ancient Hebrew practice of casting an actual literal goat out into the wilderness as a symbol of the sins of the people and casting out the sins.
00:56:08.360We are, you know, laying all the sins upon this animal, casting it out.
00:56:13.800It's an old religious practice that's still carried out today, except in our culture, we find random white people like Darren Wilson to be exiled or destroyed as atonement for white sins specifically.
00:56:27.360Oftentimes the scapegoat is vindicated by the facts later on, but it doesn't really matter because the specific facts were never important to the mob and the people demanding this person's head.
00:56:37.780It doesn't matter what they did or what they didn't do.
00:56:45.620Maybe you recall this story from a few years back.
00:56:48.000In the late afternoon, several years ago, I think this was back in 2018, two black men walked into a Starbucks in Philadelphia, and they asked to use the bathroom.
00:57:00.140But the staff told them that the bathroom is for customers only, and that's a pretty common policy, especially in Philadelphia,
00:57:05.260because you don't want junkies shooting up in your bathroom.
00:57:08.540I mean, that's why they have these, that's why they lock the bathrooms.
00:57:11.460That's why they say you have to be a customer to use the bathroom.
01:03:30.560You know, you don't see legal vindication anyway.
01:03:33.060And you almost never see laws against racism applying to actual racists,
01:03:37.100you know, indiscriminately in this way.
01:03:39.680Instead, you see what's happening to Daniel Penny,
01:03:41.700who's the Good Samaritan who restrained a violent lunatic on the New York subway.
01:03:44.900We finally heard his full side of the story a few days ago, which we played on the show at the time.
01:03:50.720Now, keep in mind, Daniel Penny is taking a major risk by speaking out.
01:03:54.340Most defense attorneys tell their clients, and I don't know if this happened with Daniel Penny,
01:03:58.580but I would assume it did, tell their clients to stay silent and plead the fifth.
01:04:03.220That's because even if you're innocent, it's easy to slip up and say something a prosecutor can use in court to make the case that you're guilty.
01:04:11.760So it tells us a lot that Daniel Penny, like Kyle Rittenhouse, is disregarding those risks.
01:04:16.100He knows what, you know, he knows what happened.
