Summary

Peter Cahill is a judge in the Minneapolis suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota. He was appointed to the bench by former Gov. Tim Pawlenty in 2007, and re-elected several times by voters. After serving as a prosecutor, Cahill became a race-hustling activist. And then, in a lecture he delivered to the National Judicial College, he dropped all pretenses of objectivity.

00:00:00.080 Today on the Matt Wall Show, another police officer has been sent to prison for the death
00:00:03.200 of George Floyd. This one never even touched Floyd. His crime was simply being in the vicinity
00:00:06.960 when he died. We'll tell you about this case and the race hustling activist judge who presided over
00:00:11.960 it. Also, Mitch McConnell worries that impeaching Joe Biden might not be good for the country. The

00:01:29.040 That's GenuCell.com slash Walsh. Peter Cahill is a judge in Minneapolis. He was appointed to the
00:01:35.700 bench by Tim Pawlenty in 2007 and re-elected several times by voters. Cahill first gained national
00:01:40.940 attention two years ago when he presided over the trial of former police officer Derek Chauvin,
00:01:45.420 who made the mistake of trying to restrain a violent felon named George Floyd, who was attacking
00:01:50.260 police officers while overdosing on fentanyl and meth. After the trial in the fall of last year,
00:01:55.540 Cahill delivered something called the Justice Jackson Lecture before a large audience of judges
00:02:00.180 at the National Judicial College. As far as we can tell, no news organizations covered his remarks,
00:02:07.100 but the clip is online. You can find it. And the lecture begins with Cahill playing,
00:02:11.120 you know, sort of playing to the crowd, making jokes about various parts of the Chauvin trial.
00:02:15.280 It's very funny to him. Covers a variety of banal topics, including the importance of upgrading
00:02:19.820 technology in courtrooms. But then as the lecture winds down, something remarkable happens. Cahill
00:02:26.460 starts talking like a BLM activist. He drops all pretense of objectivity. It's almost as if he
00:02:32.080 forgets he's a judge. I want you to watch as Cahill explains to the room full of judges that actually
00:02:37.480 every single case they hear should be, quote, about racial justice.
00:02:44.360 It doesn't mean that we ignore racial justice. Every case that you deal with should be about
00:02:51.260 racial justice. Even if everybody in your courtroom, if you're white, old white guy like me,
00:02:56.560 and everybody else in the courtroom is an old white guy, even the defendant on the speeding case,
00:03:00.540 you still have to figure out, am I treating this person the same way I would somebody who is
00:03:05.640 younger, different age, or different ethnicity, different race. You have to constantly do that.
00:03:12.820 So, as what can you control? Well, number one, you can check your bias. How many have been through
00:03:18.120 applied bias training? If you haven't, make sure you do it. It's very valuable. Check your bias.
00:03:24.960 This is the off-bench stuff. If you have any opportunity, you know, to help in the hiring process
00:03:29.940 foreign court staff, if you can serve on the Equal Justice Committee, if you can go out into the
00:03:36.980 community. We've done listening sessions in some of the communities of color, just to listen,
00:03:44.820 just to hear what their issues were with the judiciary. And obviously, you can't promise anything,
00:03:51.500 but even hearing what their concerns were, was eye-opening.
00:03:58.660 Every case should be about racial justice, Peter Cahill says. Work for equity. Take your implicit
00:04:04.480 bias training. Hire people based on their skin color. Think about race all the time in all of
00:04:10.020 your cases. That's what Peter Cahill wants. At one point in his lecture, Cahill says that the way to
00:04:15.340 restore trust and confidence in the judiciary is through this method of always thinking about
00:04:20.780 race. But of course, the opposite is true. When judges start talking like race hustlers,
00:04:25.560 when they fixate on the skin color of people in their courtroom instead of, oh, I don't know,
00:04:29.300 the law, then they destroy all trust and confidence in the legal system. It's disqualifying.
00:04:36.100 Traffic court judges shouldn't act like this, much less famous judges handling murder trials.
00:04:39.820 What Peter Cahill is saying is that if you're a defendant in his courtroom, it would help to be
00:04:44.900 a member of a racial group that he thinks is oppressed. Otherwise, you might have some problems.
00:04:50.640 You know, everybody's familiar with the image of Lady Justice holding the scales, right?
00:04:54.280 What Cahill and his fellow activist judges apparently haven't noticed is that Lady Justice,
00:04:58.260 in all of those images, is wearing a blindfold because the law is supposed to be impartial,
00:05:04.800 unbiased, objective. It's not supposed to take things like race into account.
00:05:09.820 You're not supposed to be thinking about that. But Cahill rejects this idea. He wants to throw
00:05:15.920 away the blindfold and the scale, actually, and decide his cases based on his own subjective,
00:05:20.860 ambiguous notion of racial justice. Now, this is not theoretical for this judge. It's how he runs
00:05:26.700 his courtroom. Just a few years ago, Cahill dismissed charges against the organizers of a
00:05:31.340 massive riot that shut down the Mall of America for hours. And why did he dismiss the charges? Well,
00:05:35.520 Cahill claimed that the mall somehow approved of the riots. Nobody believed that
00:05:39.640 reasoning, even at the time. And now it's clear that Cahill himself didn't believe it. He was just
00:05:44.420 working for equity and advancing racial justice. This is the mainstream position among judges in
00:05:51.300 America, by the way. That's why Cahill wasn't forced off the stage by all the judges in the room during
00:05:55.900 that lecture. They all agree with him. So do the voters in Minneapolis. They've just kept on electing
00:06:02.100 this guy, and so he's kept on dispensing race-based justice. Following the conviction of Derek
00:06:07.240 Chauvin, Cahill oversaw the cases of every other police officer who was involved in arresting George
00:06:11.300 Floyd. That includes Thomas Lane and Alexander Kang, who helped Chauvin restrain Floyd as he resisted
00:06:16.660 arrest. Well, this week, Cahill sentenced yet another officer who was at the scene that day named
00:06:21.520 Tu Tao. Tu Tao's case has not attracted nearly the attention that the Chauvin case did, but in many
00:06:27.800 ways, the verdict and the sentence are even more egregious. Like, if you thought that the Chauvin
00:06:32.680 verdict was a gross miscarriage of justice, then you should be especially outraged by the treatment
00:06:37.860 of Tu Tao, an officer who never even laid a hand on George Floyd. Chauvin should not have spent a day
00:06:43.920 in jail. Tao shouldn't have even been under investigation, let alone arrested and convicted
00:06:48.460 and sent to prison. Tu Tao's crime was being a police officer in the vicinity of George Floyd's fatal
00:06:56.520 overdose. That's it. All he did was hold back the crowd as they became more agitated.
00:07:03.220 You've probably seen the footage. I'm sure you have, but here it is.
00:07:07.760 Doing okay. You call, you call what you do? You call what you're doing okay, bro?
00:07:11.940 Are you really a firefighter? Yes, I am from Minneapolis.
00:07:14.060 Okay. Bro, you, you, you, you, you, you think that's okay? Check his cause.
00:07:17.900 Check his right now.
00:07:18.700 Tao, f*** his cause.
00:07:19.640 Check, the man ain't moved yet, bro. The man ain't moved yet, bro.
00:07:24.900 Where, where?
00:07:25.960 Minneapolis!
00:07:26.840 Okay, bro, you're a bum, bro. You're a bum, bro. You're definitely a bum, bro.
00:07:31.500 Check his cause right now, tell me what it is.
00:07:33.240 So the crowd gets angrier as the video goes on. At trial, prosecutors argue that instead of waiting
00:07:38.260 for EMS, Tao should have somehow checked that woman's credentials and determined that she was a
00:07:43.700 firefighter and then let her save George Floyd. In other words, their theory of the case is that Tao
00:07:48.980 Tao should not have done his job. You know, if he hadn't done crowd control, they said George
00:07:54.040 Floyd might have been saved, which is preposterous. If Tao had not held back the crowd, then there
00:07:59.480 would have been more violence. That is violence aside from George Floyd fighting with the police
00:08:03.080 officers. There's no question about that. During Derek Chauvin's trial, a park police officer who was
00:08:07.620 at the scene testified that the crowd was becoming aggressive to the point that he was worried about
00:08:11.800 the officer safety. Watch. And as Mr. Floyd and the officers were across the street, did you notice
00:08:20.700 any changes in the area? Yeah, there was a crowd and I guess the crowd was becoming more loud and
00:08:30.000 aggressive. A lot of yelling across the street. Did that cause you any concern? Concern for the
00:08:35.600 officer safety. Yes. Did you go over to try to help them? No, because I asked my job was to watch the car
00:08:42.140 and the two individuals that were by the car. Now in terms of as the crowd or the group of people were
00:08:48.380 congregating around Squad 320, did you notice anything in terms of the tone or tenor of the voices of those
00:08:58.500 people? They were very aggressive. Aggressive towards officers, yes. Did the volume increase? Yes.
00:09:10.040 And so how were you reacting? How were you splitting? How were you reacting to that? Yes, I was focused on the car,
00:09:18.640 but then it distracts me and I was concerned for the officer safety too, so I kept an eye on the officers and the car and individuals.
00:09:28.040 Okay. So that testimony, in addition to the video, makes it clear that Tao's focus on the crowd was
00:09:34.780 reasonable. It was reasonable for Tao to pay attention to the crowd instead of George Floyd's
00:09:39.080 vital signs. You know, he didn't have any drugs on him to help reverse the effects of Floyd's overdose
00:09:43.920 anyway. So he did his job, which was keeping an angry mob away from the other officers who were
00:09:48.780 handling Floyd's arrest. What else was he supposed to do? You know, they're in the middle of, from Tao's
00:09:54.440 perspective, which is the correct perspective, they're in the middle of arresting a suspect.
00:09:59.840 Is he supposed to just let the crowd, there you go, get as close as you like, go ahead. Yes,
00:10:04.460 go ahead. Descend on these other officers who are in the middle of conducting an arrest.
00:10:09.000 Is that what he's supposed to do? If he had done that and then that led to more violence
00:10:13.180 and someone had gotten hurt, then he'd be in trouble for that. And in that case, probably rightly so.
00:10:18.760 So, of course, we know that this is the way that goes. The moment that this man and all the other
00:10:25.000 officers, the moment that they arrived on the scene that day, they were in a lose-lose situation. No
00:10:31.200 matter what happens, they lose. So why did both the state and federal government charge to Tao?
00:10:39.120 At his trial, the prosecution suggested what some of their own possible motives might have been.
00:10:44.200 Again, they repeatedly criticized Tao for telling the mob, don't do drugs. And that line in particular
00:10:50.540 really upset politicians in Minneapolis. After all, you know, these were the same politicians who
00:10:54.480 deliberately hid body cam footage of George Floyd saying, I can't breathe, multiple times while he
00:11:00.380 was in the backseat of a police car, long before Chauvin's knee was anywhere near his neck.
00:11:05.520 You remember that? You know, until that footage was leaked to the Daily Mail, nobody saw it because
00:11:11.360 officials in Minnesota realized that it destroyed their whole narrative. So maybe that's why they
00:11:15.400 charged to Tao. He pointed out something forbidden, which is that Floyd killed himself by taking enough
00:11:20.640 fentanyl to kill a horse. Or maybe to Tao had to be punished simply because he's a police officer and
00:11:26.020 powerful forces in this country want to dismantle police departments at every opportunity.
00:11:30.360 Throwing a cop in jail for doing his job as Tao was would certainly help accomplish that objective.
00:11:36.680 That could be why Peter Cahill convicted Tao in a bench trial. Perhaps he wanted to advance
00:11:40.520 racial equity by discouraging any sane person from ever joining the police department ever again.
00:11:47.120 There's probably a lot of truth to both of those explanations, but Tao's greatest sin
00:11:51.680 became obvious at his sentencing hearing this week. It's the sin that most enrages the totalitarians in
00:11:57.440 power. He refused to bend the knee. He didn't cave to the mob. At no point did he say something he
00:12:03.960 knew was false. Instead, at great personal cost, Tao stood there and quoted scripture and told the truth.
00:12:10.520 Which is that he committed no crime. He did not kill George Floyd. Watch what Tao said and how Peter
00:12:18.800 Cahill responds. Watch.
00:12:21.120 You know, 1st King 15 says, to obey is better than sacrifice. Luke 6, Jesus says, but why do you call
00:12:29.400 me Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, and not do the things I say? John 8, Jesus said, if you abide in my word, you are my
00:12:40.380 disciple. And finally, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it. Keep it. You know, God's looking for
00:12:53.480 doers, not sayers. You know, James 4, 17 said, if you know what is good and do not do it to him, it is a
00:13:05.800 sin. Also, scripture tells us that it is not good to go against your conscience. And despite what this
00:13:14.020 court has ruled, I know we cannot hide our thoughts or intent from God, for we must give an account on the
00:13:22.780 day we appear before God. Therefore, I must obey and hold on to the truth that I did not commit these
00:13:29.980 crimes. My conscience is clear. I will not be a Judas, nor join a mob in self-preservation, or betray my
00:13:43.280 God, nor the true faithful countrymen who found this country under the fear and majesty of God.
00:13:51.940 And Jesus reminds us who we should really truly fear. And this is what I learned. And for those
00:13:58.540 under persecution, to be perfectly honest, after three years of reflection, I was hoping for a little
00:14:05.720 more remorse, regret, acknowledgement of some responsibility, and less preaching.
00:14:19.060 Quote, I did not commit these crimes. My conscience is clear. I will not be a Judas, nor join a mob in
00:14:24.440 self-preservation, or betray my God. Now, what you just heard and saw there is real
00:14:28.400 heroism. That's true courage. This is not a man facing some Twitter mob. And we've seen how most
00:14:33.920 people don't even have the guts to stand against that. But this man is facing years in prison. His
00:14:38.820 life and freedom are on the line. And still, he chose not to grovel, not to confess to crimes he
00:14:46.200 didn't commit, not to apologize for things he didn't do. Instead, he spoke about his love of Christ
00:14:51.480 and the value of truth. Watching that, you might be reminded of the end of the crucible when John
00:14:57.320 Proctor refuses to sign the false confession and chooses to face the gallows instead, because that's
00:15:02.720 the level of heroism. And if we lived in a sane society, there'd be a movie about Tu Tao and his
00:15:06.900 courage in the face of political persecution. Of course, that's never going to happen.
00:15:11.940 You don't have to imagine how infuriating Tao's words were to a worshippers of St. George Floyd.
00:15:17.260 You could just look at how Judge Cahill reacted to it. Notice his slimy, smug little smirk as he
00:15:22.940 tells the defendant that he wanted to hear less preaching, more false confession. Notice how utterly
00:15:29.880 impressed with himself Cahill is. How much fun he's having as he throws an innocent man's life away.
00:15:36.580 He can barely contain his glee. This is a Judge Cahill truly evil man, and he barely bothers hiding it.
00:15:45.140 Of course, he doesn't mean it when he says that he wants to hear less preaching. In fact,
00:15:50.920 Peter Cahill wants to hear the kind of preaching that he does in his spare time when he's talking
00:15:54.600 to other judges. He wanted Tao to talk about racial justice and equity and affirmative action.
00:16:00.200 He wanted Tao to speak in praise of the Messiah George Floyd, not Jesus Christ.
00:16:05.240 And by the way, if Tao had done that,
00:16:07.820 he probably would have cut his sentence in half.
00:16:09.920 He might have gotten no prison time if he had just debased himself in front of this,
00:16:15.500 in front of this egomaniac judge.
00:16:19.400 I'm sure Tao knew that, but he didn't do it.
00:16:22.320 He didn't go along with it. He didn't accept the prosecutor's hagiography of George Floyd.
00:16:26.300 Instead, he honored God. And he said what everyone knows is true.
00:16:30.080 And for that, Peter Cahill sentenced him to nearly five years in prison.
00:16:35.660 Now, all the major news outlets wrote up pieces attacking Tao. The AP called him unrepentant.
00:16:40.840 Of course he was. He has nothing to repent of.
00:16:43.780 They said that he was rambling during the hearing.
00:16:47.640 They all know it was a show trial. They know that he didn't break any laws by holding back the crowd.
00:16:51.680 He was doing his job.
00:16:52.720 But they also know that once they made George Floyd a saint,
00:16:57.520 they had to punish anyone who blasphemed him.
00:16:59.960 And Tao, during both his trial and his sentencing, blasphemed George Floyd.
00:17:03.920 In Minnesota, that's the greatest crime imaginable.
00:17:06.180 It's even worse than, say, raping children.
00:17:08.640 Which is not an overstatement, by the way.
00:17:09.980 This year, prosecutors in the state ensure that a man who raped girls between the ages of four and nine
00:17:14.880 received a sentence of just 180 days in jail.
00:17:18.940 That happened this year.
00:17:19.900 Two Tao got half a decade.
00:17:24.620 Judges like Peter Cahill would probably call the sentence of that pedophile a win for racial justice
00:17:29.120 based on the skin color of the suspect.
00:17:31.580 This is the system of equity that's replaced the rule of law in this country,
00:17:35.400 for the most part, without any resistance.
00:17:39.300 Unlike the leaders of the supposed opposition party in Washington,
00:17:42.380 who march in BLM rallies and fall over themselves to commemorate Juneteenth,
00:17:45.920 Tu Tao refused to regurgitate the lies that are the foundation of this godless and deadly movement.
00:17:53.440 And for that, his conscience is indeed clear.
00:17:58.180 Unfortunately, there aren't many people in power who can say the same.
00:18:02.520 Now let's get to our five headlines.
00:18:03.800 Let's start with a little bit of political news.
00:18:11.960 Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, a report from the Daily Wire,
00:18:15.080 cautioned against the regular use of impeachment processes
00:18:17.900 as House Republicans float an impeachment inquiry against President Joe Biden.
00:18:21.580 The top Republican lawmaker was quoted in the New York Times report published on Tuesday
00:18:24.700 that explores how impeachment and censures have become the norm in Congress.
00:18:30.200 McConnell said,
00:18:30.700 The GOP-led House may be headed toward initiating an impeachment inquiry against Biden,
00:18:38.460 possibly as early as the fall,
00:18:40.500 spurred by concerns about a pattern of millions of dollars flowing from foreign nationals
00:18:43.880 under suspicious circumstances.
00:18:45.780 House Republicans have previously introduced articles of impeachment against Biden
00:18:48.360 focused on other issues, including the border,
00:18:50.920 though these efforts have not gained as much traction.
00:18:53.620 But Senator McConnell is concerned about it.
00:18:57.040 He's very concerned.
00:18:57.880 And it's not, it's a dangerous thing.
00:19:00.580 It shouldn't be the norm.
00:19:01.540 We have to protect the norms.
00:19:02.980 This is not the norm.
00:19:04.460 You know, those blessed and sacred and oh so important norms.
00:19:09.580 And, you know, he's right, by the way, that impeachment,
00:19:12.840 right about one thing, which is that impeachment should be rare.
00:19:16.060 And it was until the Democrats impeached Trump 46 times, right?
00:19:20.960 Until they impeached him for forgetting to tie his shoes.
00:19:23.120 Until they impeached him for, like, not zipping his fly or whatever.
00:19:27.700 Until the Democrats did that, it was a rare thing.
00:19:30.640 It was, this is a extraordinary step to take.
00:19:36.480 And you would certainly rather not do it.
00:19:40.700 Up until that point.
00:19:43.300 But we don't live in that world anymore.
00:19:46.080 We live in a different world.
00:19:47.620 We live in a world where now it's not rare.
00:19:49.640 That's the world we live in.
00:19:51.460 Now, of course, Mitch McConnell doesn't understand the world we live in because he's senile and only half conscious at this point.
00:19:58.600 Barely sentient.
00:19:59.460 I mean, we saw him at a press conference.
00:20:01.900 First of all, what is he doing back on the job?
00:20:04.620 We saw him at a press conference last week, unable to speak.
00:20:09.260 He's standing there, zoned out.
00:20:11.600 And he can't speak.
00:20:12.400 And they had to escort him away, shuffle him away because he couldn't speak.
00:20:17.820 And he comes back a week later, and it's like, oh, yeah, what was that all about?
00:20:20.680 Ah, it was nothing.
00:20:21.440 You know, just a little minor brain fart is all.
00:20:26.340 You know, that brain fart where we've all been through that.
00:20:30.080 Where you just stand in front of a crowd and stare straight ahead and say nothing at all.
00:20:34.100 It barely even, it's like, there are no follow-up questions about that because we all know, we understand that our whole country now is being run by geriatric vegetables.
00:20:45.820 And so we just, it's like, okay, yeah, he's senile.
00:20:48.160 This is another one.
00:20:48.880 Throw him on the pile.
00:20:51.060 That's our whole country is being run by these people.
00:20:54.860 Let's not change that at all.
00:20:56.420 You know, let's have our next presidential election where two 80-year-old guys are running against each other.
00:21:03.120 Let's, let's, yeah, it's a good idea, America.
00:21:05.700 Let's make sure we learn nothing at all.
00:21:07.480 That's the best thing.
00:21:10.640 Let's make the minimum age.
00:21:12.020 Let's just, at this point, why don't we raise the minimum age for any of these national offices to 75?
00:21:21.660 Make that the minimum age because that's all, apparently that's all we're interested in.
00:21:25.380 We just want all of these positions being held by people who barely even know where they are.
00:21:32.880 Anyway, what were we talking about?
00:21:35.540 Impeachment.
00:21:35.940 Yeah, so the world we live in now is one where impeachment is no longer a rare, extraordinary step.
00:21:42.960 And Republicans can either decide to acknowledge that reality and respond accordingly, or they can still, they can live in a fantasy world.
00:21:55.920 Mitch McConnell, again, being senile, but also just being an establishment, milquetoast establishment guy, he wants to live in the fantasy world.
00:22:05.560 He wants to, he wants to live in this world where, well, Republicans will respect the norms that don't exist anymore.
00:22:12.140 And, and Democrats will learn from that.
00:22:14.560 And, and they'll say, oh, well, you know, remember how nice the Republicans were.
00:22:18.060 We should do the same.
00:22:18.960 We should, we should be the same.
00:22:20.060 Now, of course, the, the corruption with the Biden administration is such that even if we still lived in a country where impeachment was an extraordinary and rare step, he should still be impeached.
00:22:36.980 When you've got money pouring in from all of these foreign interests and all this kind of stuff, I mean, it's, it's, obviously, this is a, this calls for an investigation, this calls for impeachment.
00:22:52.000 But, again, that's not, that's not even the country we live in.
00:22:54.540 And we also know, you know, if you have in your mind this idea that, well, for the Democrats, Trump was a special case and they, they're treating him this way, they wouldn't do this to anybody else.
00:23:07.320 Just they really, really hate Trump.
00:23:09.100 And so that's why they do it, as if that makes it okay.
00:23:13.840 No, they're setting the precedent for themselves.
00:23:15.560 Do you think whoever the next Republican president is, whoever it is, do you really have any doubt that they're going to impeach that guy?
00:23:24.540 No matter what.
00:23:25.740 Let's say the next Republican president was, is DeSantis.
00:23:28.900 What if DeSantis gets in there?
00:23:32.520 Are they going to revert back to pretending it's 20 years ago and treat him that way?
00:23:37.280 Is the Democrat party going to become the Democrat party of 20 years ago all of a sudden?
00:23:43.420 No.
00:23:44.320 Is there any doubt they would find a reason to impeach DeSantis right away?
00:23:49.800 Look at what they're doing now to him.
00:23:52.780 Every week they make up some new lie that, oh, he's got a curriculum that teaches that slavery is good.
00:23:59.160 So that's what they're doing to him now when he's just the governor of Florida.
00:24:02.180 You take that guy, put him in the White House, it's going to be the same thing.
00:24:04.500 Any Republican, it's going to be the same thing.
00:24:07.040 And I talk about the Democrat party of 20 years ago, like they were much better.
00:24:09.620 But I mean, this, this has been the Democrat playbook since forever, actually.
00:24:12.520 Like it's, it's easy to forget that the Democrats tried to turn Mitt Romney into this misogynistic, sexist, barbarian, racist bigot.
00:24:29.520 But they tried to do that to him.
00:24:32.780 So it doesn't matter who the Republican is.
00:24:36.140 It's pretty clear.
00:24:38.640 All right.
00:24:39.160 The Hill has this report.
00:24:40.360 Generation Z will be the last generation of Americans with a white majority, according to census data.
00:24:46.100 The nation's so-called majority minority arrived with Generation Alpha, those born since 2010.
00:24:52.260 Who, by the way, of course, get the best generation name.
00:24:56.260 It's going to be many, many centuries until anyone gets to have a generation name as good as that.
00:25:04.740 If you're really bad for the generation that comes after Generation Alpha, they get a raw deal in a lot of ways.
00:25:11.300 But also, given what their name is going to be.
00:25:13.880 Anyway, barely two decades from now, around 2045, non-Hispanic white people will fall below half as a share of the overall U.S. population.
00:25:20.460 Those conclusions and the numbers behind them seem simple enough.
00:25:23.260 Yet some scholars contend that the numbers are wrong or at least misleading and that the looming assent of a majority minority America is a myth.
00:25:29.360 America's white majority in its number days is a lightning rod topic given the nation's history of slavery and enduring patterns of discrimination against minorities and immigrants.
00:25:38.640 Demographers and economists celebrate the nation's growing diversity as vital to a prosperous future.
00:25:44.000 Other voices vilify racial change as a threat to the nation's white heritage.
00:25:50.460 So, you know, this very objective news report, those are the two options that they give you.
00:25:55.860 So, you can either, when you look at the disappearance of white people, you can either celebrate diversity and a prosperous future.
00:26:06.640 So, that's the one.
00:26:07.420 So, you're celebrating it.
00:26:08.800 Or you can vilify racial change.
00:26:13.360 Those are the two options.
00:26:14.420 There's no other way of looking at it, according to The Hill and any other media report.
00:26:22.600 And so, there are really two parts of the story.
00:26:24.460 The first is the story itself, which is the demographic trend where whites are trending towards extinction in the United States.
00:26:34.020 Like, that's the way it's headed.
00:26:36.360 And then the other part of the story is the veil of silence around this issue.
00:26:43.660 The wall that is erected around it.
00:26:46.320 And I know you're going to say, well, you just read a story about it, so there's not a silence.
00:26:50.540 They can report on it.
00:26:52.400 So, you report and you celebrate diversity and then you just move on.
00:26:55.580 We don't talk about it.
00:26:56.360 We don't think much about it.
00:26:57.260 And that's it.
00:26:58.880 You aren't allowed to talk much about it.
00:27:00.380 You certainly, you certainly can't be concerned about it.
00:27:05.040 You're not allowed to express any concern.
00:27:06.720 That's unthinkable.
00:27:08.920 To hear that whites are on their way to minority status and the white population is declining.
00:27:17.040 The worst thing you could possibly do is to talk about it at all is already a problem.
00:27:22.320 But to suggest that there's any reason at all to be concerned about that or to be anything less than thrilled by that development is incredibly racist, we're told.
00:27:35.580 So, all you can do.
00:27:36.460 I saw someone, some libertarian, of course, reacting to this on Twitter just now and this news from the Hill and saying, oh, this is great.
00:27:44.440 I don't see any problem with this.
00:27:45.500 Who could possibly have a problem with it?
00:27:48.700 Who cares if whites are going extinct in America?
00:27:51.080 What difference does it make?
00:27:51.800 I'm a libertarian.
00:27:53.500 I don't understand anything.
00:27:55.780 That's the only attitude you're allowed to have.
00:27:57.440 But here's what we know also.
00:28:00.220 We know that it doesn't even need to be said, but I'll say it anyway because we all know that it's true.
00:28:04.780 But we know that the continued existence of any other race of people is considered deeply important.
00:28:12.520 And the preservation of the historical and traditional racial identity of any nation is considered deeply important.
00:28:18.000 So, for example, if there was an influx of white immigration to a historically black country and that was resulting in a giant demographic shift wherein it was becoming a predominantly white country rather than predominantly black, this would be considered a major, major problem.
00:28:37.020 And there's no doubt about it.
00:28:40.060 And yet, in the reverse, it is either neutral or cause for celebration.
00:28:46.700 But really, it should be a cause for celebration.
00:28:48.240 And you know what?
00:28:50.200 This pertains even to the animal kingdom.
00:28:53.380 I mean, you can think about if there's a particular type of, I don't know, hummingbird that's going extinct.
00:29:01.120 Even for that, we're supposed to panic.
00:29:03.000 And if I were to say, hey, whatever, I mean, what does it matter?
00:29:05.180 So, we don't have that type of hummingbird, but we've got plenty of other hummingbirds.
00:29:08.980 It doesn't matter what type of hummingbird it is.
00:29:11.280 The difference does it make.
00:29:12.980 So, you've got this type of hummingbird.
00:29:14.560 There's more of that, and there's less of this.
00:29:16.580 Like, who cares?
00:29:18.800 If I say that, I'm callous.
00:29:21.460 Because, no, it's very important that we have all varieties of hummingbirds.
00:29:24.580 Every variety is very, very important.
00:29:26.620 We have to keep them all around.
00:29:28.180 Every animal in the animal kingdom, we've got to keep them all around.
00:29:32.180 It's extremely important.
00:29:33.180 If any particular variety starts to dwindle, if any particular type of species of animal gets driven out of its territory, it's a very bad thing.
00:29:46.680 So, it's interesting that we can see this with hummingbirds, but not with certain kinds of people.
00:29:51.160 Well, in particular, one kind of person, which would be a white person.
00:29:54.280 The preservation of the hummingbird community is more important than the preservation of the white race.
00:29:59.280 In fact, you can't even talk about the preservation of the white race.
00:30:02.040 Even saying that word, that phrase, is tantamount to being in the Klan.
00:30:11.880 These are the standards that we are all supposed to live by.
00:30:16.180 But it's like we all know.
00:30:18.500 It's just this game, and we all know that it's bogus, and it's ridiculous.
00:30:21.860 We all recognize it at this point, right?
00:30:25.000 I'm not saying anything that anyone doesn't already know.
00:30:28.080 When it comes to white people and talking about any issue pertaining to white people, there's all kinds of rules that are put in place that do not apply anywhere else.
00:30:38.080 And so, it's really up for us.
00:30:41.780 And we can complain about these rules.
00:30:44.640 Usually what happens in the typical conservative response has been mostly to ignore the rules and just follow them and not point them out.
00:30:52.820 Every once in a while, I'll complain about them, but then sort of follow the rules anyway.
00:30:55.580 We can do that, or we can just ignore the rules, which is what we ought to start doing.
00:31:04.540 All right.
00:31:07.140 Let's keep on getting in trouble today.
00:31:09.240 The Sun has this report.
00:31:12.820 Scientists working on a fat loss pill that doesn't require dieting have made a major breakthrough in their research.
00:31:21.420 Boffins at the University of Texas have been testing the game-changing drug called CPAC-C.
00:31:30.420 So, it's like CPAC with a C.
00:31:31.900 C-P-A-C-C.
00:31:32.960 That wards off weight gain on mice.
00:31:35.120 Experts hope that it will be revolutionary in the fight against obesity, and it allows users to shed some pounds without altering their diet.
00:31:42.780 In theory, people could scoff down as much junk food as they like without the fear of added health risks or not fitting into their genes.
00:31:49.920 The wonder pill increases the body's metabolism to help it break down sugar and fats more efficiently.
00:31:55.180 Now, of course, it doesn't seem to be acknowledged in this article, but the health risks from scoffing down junk food, gaining weight is only one of the health risks.
00:32:07.640 It's not the only one.
00:32:09.780 If you're eating fast food all the time, there's not enough nutrients in that.
00:32:14.000 It's not the right kind of nutrients.
00:32:15.200 And, yeah, it'll make you fat, and so if you take a pill that doesn't make you fat anymore, then you're not going to be fat.
00:32:22.600 Well, it doesn't magically make McDonald's healthy for you, which means that this is obviously a bad thing, right?
00:32:29.660 This isn't good.
00:32:30.720 Even if it would prevent individual people from having heart attacks and dying of obesity, because I would believe that you get a pill like this on the market, there are a certain number of people who, without this pill, would have obesity-related heart attacks.
00:32:55.200 And now they won't, because of the pill.
00:32:58.720 And so you can make an argument that who knows what the number is, but it's like a certain number of people that after this pill goes to market, a certain number of people will continue living, whereas otherwise they wouldn't.
00:33:09.900 And so we might say, well, that alone means that it's good.
00:33:13.680 What can we say about it?
00:33:14.360 It's obviously good.
00:33:16.160 And for everybody else, it makes your life easier, and you feel better about yourself, and you feel better about yourself when you look in the mirror, and you have a better self-image and everything else.
00:33:24.240 So it's all positive.
00:33:27.700 But it's not good overall, on a cultural level, on a societal level, because it enables self-destructive behavior, which is bad for the soul.
00:33:37.840 And it's bad for you as a person.
00:33:41.580 And also, ultimately, self-defeating for your physical health.
00:33:46.220 In ways that should be intuitively obvious, but we're not going to know all the specifics until they start getting these drugs.
00:33:53.900 And they already have drugs.
00:33:54.840 Like there's Ozempic, you know, it's not quite this miracle drug, but it's the closest thing to the miracle weight loss drug that's on the market right now.
00:34:02.060 Lots of people are taking that.
00:34:05.960 But as always with these kinds of things, so if you're at all, you know, an intuitive person, and you hear about any miracle drug, you automatically know that, well, there's really actually no such thing as a miracle drug.
00:34:18.380 It just doesn't exist.
00:34:20.360 Miracles don't exist in the form of a pill.
00:34:23.040 You can't do that.
00:34:24.940 There are shortcuts.
00:34:26.260 There are things that make your life temporarily easier.
00:34:28.240 There are things that make you feel better about yourself.
00:34:29.740 But there's always a cost.
00:34:31.620 That's the world we live in.
00:34:33.900 That's life.
00:34:34.880 There's always a cost.
00:34:37.160 There's no such thing as a cost-free choice.
00:34:43.480 Especially not a cost-free drug.
00:34:46.740 And intuitive people understand that.
00:34:49.140 And so you already know that, well, no, there's going to be, it's not all going to be roses here.
00:34:53.980 There's going to be some problems that come from it.
00:34:55.400 And if you're a little bit more intuitive, but not that much, you can start imagining what some of those side effects are going to be.
00:35:05.740 And one is that people are going to have terrible diets like they do now.
00:35:11.200 They're not going to get fat because of those diets.
00:35:14.600 And so there's not going to be that immediate incentive to change their diet.
00:35:19.260 And so they won't change the diet.
00:35:20.580 But they still have diets that don't have the nutrients that they need and that have all kinds of chemicals and preservatives that aren't good for them.
00:35:28.760 And they're still ingesting all of that stuff.
00:35:32.260 And even if it doesn't make it fat, make them fat, it will still have a negative impact on their health in the end.
00:35:42.200 And we don't even need to know what all the specifics of that are.
00:35:46.540 We don't need to wait to find out.
00:35:48.580 But we will find out because they're going to get these jugs out there.
00:35:52.580 And then they're going to be, it's going to have all kinds of horrible side effects.
00:35:55.100 And there's going to be a lot of suffering that comes with it.
00:35:57.180 And then 10 years later, there's going to be all the studies that come out.
00:36:00.860 And, oh, it turns out this, that, and this.
00:36:04.440 And in the meantime, aside from the physical ramifications, it just, again, it facilitates self-destructive behavior.
00:36:12.900 It makes it easier for people to be gluttonous and weak-willed.
00:36:23.760 And that's not good.
00:36:24.980 It's for the same reason that miracle drugs that are meant to prevent STDs probably aren't a great thing for society either.
00:36:31.420 Because they, again, exist to facilitate risky, self-destructive sexual behavior.
00:36:37.220 Which just means that you're going to get more of it.
00:36:40.240 And while you have mitigated one of the consequences of having a society where everyone engages in this kind of behavior, you can't mitigate all of them.
00:36:47.660 And for all the other consequences, now we're going to have more of those consequences because you've made it easier for people to do this.
00:36:55.480 And you've made it more attractive.
00:36:57.220 And that's not good.
00:36:59.760 What's better is that, okay, you don't want to be obese.
00:37:04.480 Just go and just do some, eat a salad.
00:37:07.100 Okay, go for a jog.
00:37:09.180 It's not that hard to not be obese.
00:37:13.620 You don't want to get STDs.
00:37:15.080 Okay, well then, don't run out and have sex with anyone you meet.
00:37:20.700 Okay, meet a person.
00:37:22.380 Be in a monogamous relationship.
00:37:23.720 Get married.
00:37:25.940 Be faithful.
00:37:28.160 You know, have fidelity to your spouse.
00:37:30.840 You don't have to worry about this.
00:37:32.140 Not something you have to worry about in that case.
00:37:35.520 So that's one way.
00:37:38.140 And it is much better to have a society where people do that.
00:37:42.460 You know, where they get married and that they're in monogamous marriages to avoid STDs.
00:37:46.660 And they go for jogs and they eat healthy to avoid obesity.
00:37:49.960 Much better to have that, I would say.
00:37:54.460 All right, here's a video from TikTok that went viral after Libs of TikTok posted it.
00:38:00.440 It's almost hard to believe this is real.
00:38:02.180 But it is real and these people still exist in the world.
00:38:07.320 Let's watch a little bit of this.
00:38:09.240 I don't remember the last time I went to see a movie because I don't love going to the movie theater.
00:38:13.620 But I'll tell you what, it pisses me off that I can't go see Barbie.
00:38:17.940 I want to go see it.
00:38:19.200 Even if it is white feminism, I want to be able to go.
00:38:22.120 So I'm doing a thing.
00:38:23.420 And if you live in the Pacific Northwest, you can do a thing with me.
00:38:27.040 Here's what it is.
00:38:27.880 Next week, which is July 31st, August 1st, someday next week on a weekday,
00:38:33.960 I am renting out a theater in Northwest Portland.
00:38:37.100 The entire theater.
00:38:38.280 The whole theater.
00:38:40.000 The theater seats 46 people, I think.
00:38:43.960 We're only going to do 20 tickets.
00:38:45.660 So me and 19 other people.
00:38:48.040 That's it.
00:38:49.380 In addition to that, there will be one employee.
00:38:52.120 So the entire building, the entire cinema, is going to be one employee plus 20 attendees.
00:38:58.140 That's it.
00:38:59.340 We are the only people in the building.
00:39:01.120 And every single person, including that employee, is going to be wearing an N95 the entire time.
00:39:07.500 The employee is going to put it on before they enter the building.
00:39:09.800 They've been chosen specifically for this purpose.
00:39:12.260 They seem to get it.
00:39:13.160 If you show up because you bought a ticket, I need to see a KN94 well-fitted or a 95 well-fitted or a P100.
00:39:22.860 And if I see a baggy mask, I'm going to tell you to take it off and put on one that I hand you.
00:39:26.840 I'm holding on to a bunch of masks.
00:39:28.860 Choose the one you like best.
00:39:31.200 There are no concessions during the movie.
00:39:33.400 They're not even going to open it up.
00:39:34.940 Do not bother bringing food or drinks.
00:39:36.840 You may not take your mask off in the movie.
00:39:38.840 If you need to scratch your nose or you need to take a sip of water, you need to get up, exit the theater, do that, and then come back.
00:39:46.300 They're going to be medically fragile people there.
00:39:48.120 This is their first opportunity in like three and a half years, so we are not f***ing around here, folks.
00:39:53.560 No kids that can't wear a mask solidly for two hours.
00:39:57.640 Like, I'm not going to do little kids because I don't blame them, but it is what it is.
00:40:02.620 This is going to be a morning showing.
00:40:04.400 We are the first people in the building, so we will be in and out well before any other employees or other people.
00:40:12.940 Well, I mean, how can you turn down this invitation?
00:40:15.480 This just sounds like a thrilling time at the movie theater.
00:40:18.000 If you would like to get up early in the morning to go watch a two and a half hour movie about Barbie with a bunch of lonely feminists who have not left their homes or apparently showered in three and a half years.
00:40:33.160 And if you would like to be alone in this haunted theater with these feminists, eating no snacks, wearing a muzzle the entire time, and required to leave the theater in order to scratch your nose.
00:40:50.540 If you'd like to do that, then get in touch with this woman.
00:40:53.240 I mean, it's a little late because I guess this already happened.
00:40:54.980 So unfortunately, you missed out on that opportunity.
00:40:56.900 But as she says, you know, you could do the same thing just sounds like actual hell.
00:41:05.800 It is what it's what hell would be for me.
00:41:08.100 This is what Satan is watching this and and and getting getting all kinds of ideas.
00:41:14.260 I think maybe Satan would actually be in the theater.
00:41:17.420 You know, you never know.
00:41:17.960 You watch that, you know, I watched that.
00:41:23.260 And there was a part of me, I had to go to this woman's tick tock.
00:41:27.660 I had to brave that I had to make the perilous journey to her actual tick tock account.
00:41:32.140 Because I there's a part of me is like, there's no this can't be real.
00:41:35.780 People are actually still living this way.
00:41:38.100 Everything about it.
00:41:39.040 This has to be a parody.
00:41:40.820 Even the throwaway lines about even even though it is white feminism.
00:41:44.120 It's like you're you're you can't be a real person.
00:41:46.640 This is AI.
00:41:48.180 This is not this.
00:41:49.160 This is a joke.
00:41:51.700 But what you realize is that, no, there are this is real.
00:41:54.420 People really do live this way.
00:41:56.060 And probably more people live this way than than we would like to think.
00:42:01.560 In fact, there was another tweet yesterday with a similar theme from a person who also appears to be real.
00:42:06.280 This person tweeted relationship ending argument with my partner of 17 years.
00:42:10.400 She stopped wearing a mask today.
00:42:12.440 Let me make my own decisions and stop trying to control me.
00:42:14.780 She said when I gave her the facts about the virus.
00:42:17.320 I'm not trying to control.
00:42:18.600 I'm trying to save everyone in this house.
00:42:20.680 F everything.
00:42:22.460 So this is someone who just, of course, he calls his, I don't know if it's his wife.
00:42:29.080 But he's been with a woman for 17 years and refers to her as my partner.
00:42:32.600 And broke off this romantic relationship for 17 years because she's not still wearing a mask three and a half years later.
00:42:44.460 And presumably we're talking about in the house.
00:42:46.460 So he's been wearing a mask in his home like all the time for three years.
00:42:52.620 Another thing that when you first see that, you think, well, it's got to be a parody.
00:42:57.780 There's no way.
00:42:58.800 How is this possible?
00:43:01.400 But it is possible.
00:43:02.580 And these people do exist because as we talked about all throughout COVID, you know, we learned a lot of things about human nature and about our leaders that run this country.
00:43:13.960 And none of it was good.
00:43:16.900 You know, I'm afraid to say.
00:43:18.180 Like we, the COVID experience and the lockdowns and everything that happened, it didn't teach us anything good about human nature, about people, about this country, about our culture, about society, about our government.
00:43:29.020 All of it was quite bad.
00:43:30.880 But I think the kind of the underlying lesson is that for a lot of people, COVID was the first time in their lives that they had confronted their mortality.
00:43:51.260 And it's not because COVID posed for them this grave risk that they weren't already facing.
00:43:58.260 You know, as we know for a lot of people, you already have obesity.
00:44:01.540 That's more likely to kill you.
00:44:02.680 It's like you drive around your car every day in a car accident.
00:44:06.580 But just COVID and the way that it was reported and the way that it was treated, all of that together, the hype around COVID meant that for a lot of these people, it was just the first time that they'd even thought about the fact that, oh, yeah, you know, I can die.
00:44:25.960 I could actually die of something.
00:44:28.260 They were mortal the whole time before that.
00:44:30.320 They just never, they really never thought about it.
00:44:33.440 And because in the modern world, you're able to live this very insulated life.
00:44:38.660 We don't talk about death and we keep death away from us.
00:44:43.160 We shield ourselves from it.
00:44:44.960 It's not like the old days when you, you know, if you got to adulthood, you would have seen people die around you.
00:44:50.460 You're going to be around death.
00:44:51.420 You're aware of it, right?
00:44:52.600 You've got family members who are buried like on your property.
00:44:56.180 And so there's no way to avoid it.
00:44:57.840 But that's not the way we live in modern society.
00:45:00.240 We're very insulated from the reality of death.
00:45:02.280 And so for a lot of these people, the first time they'd ever even thought about it.
00:45:06.560 And it's for a certain percentage of those people, it broke them.
00:45:14.080 That confrontation with mortality broke them.
00:45:17.740 And they haven't recovered and they never will until they die, which they will.
00:45:24.100 And it's not going to be COVID.
00:45:24.840 It'll be something else because it was always going to happen.
00:45:26.560 So that's how you explain what you just saw there.
00:45:31.220 Let's get to the comment section.
00:45:32.440 Who makes a Twitter mob fly off the handle with rage?

00:46:34.180 All right, a lot of people disagree with my take on the NEO situations.
00:46:37.500 I'll read through some of those comments and then I'll respond at the end.
00:46:40.100 So these are a sampling of the comments.
00:46:44.200 First comment says,
00:46:45.800 He's not apologizing for apologizing.
00:46:47.800 His publicist apologized for him.
00:46:49.340 Lisa says,
00:46:50.920 Apparently his publisher tried to save him by apologizing for him.
00:46:54.200 I'm happy he realized what was important and spoke his truth.
00:46:59.140 Another one,
00:46:59.880 Man, you can't make anybody happy in this day and age.
00:47:01.820 During his video, he says he apologizes if people get offended because he doesn't mean to offend anybody.
00:47:06.120 However, he stands by his opinion on the matter.
00:47:08.200 You don't know what's going on between him and his publicist team.
00:47:10.340 Maybe he thought they were going to do just that, apologize for offending people.
00:47:13.300 But after his team, the team posts, his team's post, he realized that they go against his belief.
00:47:19.660 So he posts his video to stand up for himself.
00:47:21.580 Come on now, at this time where things are so crazy, you can at least acknowledge the fact that this father of seven is going against the craziness for the sake of the children.
00:47:29.800 Why can't we just be happy that someone with a platform and a fan base is at least being vocal and has common sense?
00:47:35.480 Gosh.
00:47:39.400 Listen, having the courage to go against the LGBT cult in today's political climate is commendable.
00:47:43.380 Matt does this for a living, so it's easy for him to talk freely about his beliefs.
00:47:46.360 Neo is a pop star.
00:47:47.780 He has everything to lose for speaking his mind.
00:47:50.280 Even if he apologized at the end of the day, he stood for what he believes in.
00:47:52.980 I'm not a Christian, but Matt, it's my belief that Christians believe in forgiveness.
00:47:58.760 Rosia says, yeah, I'm going to have to disagree, Matt, taking this series of events at face value.
00:48:03.120 I'm proud of him and realize he's not selling his soul and accommodating to the cult, regardless of any backtracking here his publicist might have done.
00:48:11.300 And then getting to it says, yep, sorry, Matt, you're doing the same you accused the LGBT mob of doing.
00:48:18.960 You're saying his second amendment or rather second statement.
00:48:21.860 You're saying his second statement is not up to your standards and now you're bullying him.
00:48:25.980 Not everything is going to fire and humiliate.
00:48:29.040 Not everyone's going to fire and humiliate the publicist and say everything exactly to your liking.
00:48:32.540 Okay, so a few things here.
00:48:36.960 First of all, yeah, it's true that I do this for a living.
00:48:40.560 I can't tell you, though, that even if you do it for a living, it doesn't mean you're not.
00:48:45.020 As we just talked about, we're all still mortal.
00:48:48.360 And so when you've got thousands of people that wish death on you and you've got a file like this thick of credible death threats against you,
00:48:56.840 it's not like there's nothing on the line here.
00:48:59.700 Let me put it that way.
00:49:00.360 And I actually don't think that being a pop star saying that, well, he's even more vulnerable and susceptible.
00:49:07.660 No, he's not, actually.
00:49:08.660 He's not.
00:49:09.720 Not only because of the wealth and the fame already, but the truth is that, look, if you're a pop star and you're a singer and you put a good song out,
00:49:16.740 people will listen to the song.
00:49:18.040 Like, it actually doesn't, it's, everything will be forgiven if you're in that world, as long as you make good music.
00:49:27.280 Now, I don't know the last time Neo put out a hit song.
00:49:29.460 Maybe it was yesterday.
00:49:30.220 I don't know.
00:49:30.880 I don't follow it.
00:49:32.280 But if you're a pop star and you put out good music and people like it, then all will be forgiven.
00:49:37.800 That really is the truth.
00:49:38.580 So, actually, there's not that much on the line.
00:49:40.840 That's just the truth of it.
00:49:45.060 And on top of that, he's a grown man and a famous celebrity.
00:49:47.680 I'm a grown man.
00:49:48.480 I'm giving my take on what he said.
00:49:49.760 I'm not bullying him.
00:49:50.880 And I sincerely doubt that he would say that I'm bullying him.
00:49:53.860 So, relax about that.
00:49:55.220 Second, he didn't stand his ground.
00:49:57.920 He just didn't.
00:49:58.580 If this is what we now call standing your ground, then we have lowered the standards so far that the standards don't exist anymore.
00:50:07.380 Standing your ground doesn't mean anything anymore if issuing an apology through your publicist qualifies as standing your ground.
00:50:16.220 Again, he never even claimed that the publicist put out that statement without his approval.
00:50:19.740 Because, of course, the publicist didn't put it out without his approval.
00:50:22.800 Like, I work with publicists.
00:50:24.660 I think many of the commenters have no idea what goes on in this world.
00:50:27.580 I could just tell you that they're not going to put a statement out without your approval.
00:50:31.660 So, he approved it.
00:50:32.700 100% he did.
00:50:34.800 That's not standing your ground.
00:50:37.140 Okay?
00:50:38.140 If putting out a publicist statement apologizing to the LGBT community for hurting their feelings, if that's standing your ground, then...
00:50:43.900 Well, I guess the good thing is, if that counts as standing your ground, then it's very easy to be heroic in that case.
00:50:50.920 Like, if that's the standard, then all you got to do is just...
00:50:53.520 The bar is all the way down here.
00:50:54.800 All you got to do is just, like, barely move your foot up.
00:50:58.080 And you're a hero of historic proportions.
00:51:03.320 And third, even in his follow-up statement, he apologizes again for offending people.
00:51:07.060 That's not standing your ground either.
00:51:08.600 But more importantly, he says that everyone should be able to do what they want with their own kids.
00:51:13.160 Do you see how that's the exact position that the left has on this?
00:51:18.180 Okay?
00:51:18.720 This is what the left would say.
00:51:19.840 A parent and child should make their own choice about transitioning the kid.
00:51:24.040 That's what they say.
00:51:25.560 Okay?
00:51:25.840 So, he has affirmed that view explicitly.
00:51:30.580 This is not me being a purist.
00:51:32.780 This is me understanding what our position is and recognizing that someone has taken a position that is the opposite of our position.
00:51:39.680 But in the meantime, thrown out a few buzzwords and phrases and whatever that are impressive to some people.
00:51:47.640 It says, oh, he's on our side.
00:51:50.440 No, that's just not our view.
00:51:51.820 And I'm sorry.
00:51:54.340 I just think that to me, this is more of this peculiar conservative disease where we're so desperate for mainstream approval and relevance that any celebrity who comes anywhere within our vicinity, ideologically, just latch on to them.
00:52:19.640 And we want to give them the medal of honor.
00:52:24.260 And I don't think that that has ever been an effective cultural strategy.
00:52:29.840 I think it's pathetic.
00:52:31.540 And you notice what the left does, okay?
00:52:34.800 And we should not take cues from the left when it comes to their views, right, obviously.
00:52:40.640 But some of their strategies we should.
00:52:45.020 Because they're the ones who own the culture.
00:52:47.680 They won everything.
00:52:50.560 Now we're trying to win it back.
00:52:52.560 And so, it behooves us to look at some of the ways they did that.
00:52:57.620 And so, when you look on the left, they don't do this.
00:52:59.820 They don't.
00:53:00.660 If somebody says one thing that's like vaguely sort of we agree with, that they agree with, that's not good enough for them.
00:53:08.940 Say, they've got a hard line.
00:53:10.260 This is the line you've got to walk.
00:53:12.100 And if you don't, you're not on our side.
00:53:15.280 And you look over at us, and we could have someone that's like, on one subject, 99% of what they say, we totally disagree with.
00:53:23.200 But if you get that 1%, then not only do we embrace them, but we hail them as heroes.
00:53:31.920 I don't think it's an effective strategy.
00:53:34.220 I don't think it's the right thing.
00:53:35.600 I also don't think it's an effective strategy culturally.
00:53:38.580 I think it's clearly not.
00:53:40.200 Whether it's changing the definition of words or trying to convince you that 2 plus 2 actually equals 5, it sometimes feels like the current culture is doing its best to make you stupid.
00:53:48.760 When wokeness is permeating every aspect of your life, it's hard to know where to turn for guidance.
00:53:52.580 But I've got some good news.
00:53:54.080 Our good friend Dennis Prager has all the answers in his Daily Wire Plus series, PragerU Master's Program.

00:54:20.000 Go to dailywireplus.com to become a member and watch PragerU Master's Program today.
00:54:24.740 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.
00:54:26.240 Well, staying on the same theme here, we've only barely made it to Wednesday, and already this is shaping up to be a record-breaking week for groveling apologies.
00:54:37.040 It's truly been a dominant performance by the spineless Lickspittle Club.
00:54:41.620 The human jellyfish community has set a whole new standard for cowardice.
00:54:45.000 Indeed, we've seen everyone from R&B stars to NASCAR drivers bend the knee to the woke mob.
00:54:49.580 Now an actress joins their ranks.
00:54:51.340 Amanda Abington, best known for her role in whatever she was in, recently deleted her Twitter account and posted a lengthy explanation and apology to her Instagram.
00:55:01.780 What was her offense?
00:55:03.400 Well, she said that 12-year-olds shouldn't perform drag for adults.
00:55:07.600 Yes, Amanda simply suggested that children should not be cross-dressing and dancing sexually for adults.
00:55:11.720 She merely came out against the flagrant sexual exploitation of children, and this provoked a backlash strong enough to send Amanda fleeing from Twitter.
00:55:20.240 And eventually it led to this rather rambling statement.
00:55:24.700 Watch.
00:55:25.960 Hello, it's Amanda Abington here.
00:55:28.100 I just wanted to quickly come on.
00:55:32.760 Because apparently I'm trending on Twitter.
00:55:35.580 I'm not on Twitter anymore.
00:55:36.580 I left voluntarily.
00:55:40.440 Because I don't like it over there anymore.
00:55:42.900 But apparently I'm trending because people are going to boycott Strictly.
00:55:46.760 And I think it's because of a tweet I made back in March regarding a drag show.
00:55:56.620 Now I need to make this very clear.
00:55:58.340 I love drag.
00:55:59.280 I think it's an amazing form of entertainment.
00:56:02.380 And I f***ing love drag queens.
00:56:05.040 I think they're hilarious and brilliant.
00:56:06.500 And they have, it's an art form.
00:56:07.860 And I think there's absolutely a place for it in the entertainment industry.
00:56:15.720 My son played Jamie, and everyone's talking about Jamie.
00:56:19.920 And he was a wonderful drag queen.
00:56:22.080 He was wonderful in it.
00:56:22.940 But my tweet back in March was regarding a 12-year-old who was doing it in front of adults.
00:56:30.700 And it just upset me.
00:56:33.760 Because I saw a kid, a little kid, a 12-year-old, doing something very over-sexualized.
00:56:40.020 And I didn't think it was right.
00:56:41.620 Personally speaking, I don't think 12-year-olds should be performing in drag shows.
00:56:46.940 I did a stupid comment a few years ago.
00:56:50.620 I can't even remember how long ago it was.
00:56:52.600 But it was a while ago.
00:56:54.900 When I was ill-informed.
00:56:56.420 And it was a stupid thing to write.
00:56:58.000 And I instantly regretted it.
00:56:59.120 And I apologised.
00:56:59.900 And I did my research.
00:57:01.900 And I'm much more informed now.
00:57:06.380 I'm not transphobic.
00:57:08.300 And I love women.
00:57:12.180 I think there's a place for everybody.
00:57:14.320 As long as we are aware of each other.
00:57:18.260 And we look after each other.
00:57:19.460 And we make sure that we don't go for each other in a hateful way.
00:57:26.100 So I'm sorry if my tweet about drag shows made you feel like you can't watch Strictly.
00:57:34.060 I'm genuinely sorry.
00:57:36.360 All right.
00:57:36.940 So to use a phrase I hate, there's a lot to unpack here.
00:57:39.300 First of all, you should know that the very dumb and terrible comment she made a few years ago.
00:57:43.640 The one that she says she has long since repented of and no longer stands by.
00:57:47.460 Was that women don't have penises.
00:57:49.340 That's what she said.
00:57:50.160 She said that you can't identify as a woman if you have a penis.
00:57:53.300 Now she says that that was a stupid statement.
00:57:54.940 It was a youthful indiscretion.
00:57:56.340 She was going through a rebellious teenage phase where she believed in biology and understood human anatomy.
00:58:00.360 But she's grown out of that silliness now.
00:58:02.080 And she wants you to know that.
00:58:03.700 She says now that she's a supporter of the legitimate trans community.
00:58:06.840 And by legitimate, I suppose she means these people.
00:58:09.300 That those people with penises who are actually legitimately women.
00:58:12.080 What she doesn't mention is that this is a rather small community.
00:58:15.660 And that is, it's comprised of zero people in the history of the world.
00:58:19.460 As for the rest, she rather meekly stands by her contention that little boys shouldn't be dressed up like girls
00:58:24.260 and paraded around adult men for their sexual amusement.
00:58:27.580 She isn't ready to give up that position just yet.
00:58:30.340 She reasserts that belief here cautiously and with apology and qualification.
00:58:35.540 Now a few years from now though, I'm sure that she'll disavow this bigoted viewpoint too
00:58:39.060 and chalk it up to another stupid phase she went through.
00:58:42.180 One day she'll be slapping her forehead and saying,
00:58:44.120 Oh man, I can't believe I used to think that the sexual exploitation of children was a bad thing.
00:58:48.120 So stupid.
00:58:49.720 But even today, she hastens to add that drag is beautiful and wonderful.
00:58:54.020 And it's an important art form.
00:58:56.200 She cannot stress enough just how great drag queens are and how fierce and majestic and brilliant.
00:59:01.440 This is another toll that she feels she must pay to the left.
00:59:03.980 The one where she pretends to think that drag is a valid art form.
00:59:08.780 Which is something that, of course, nobody really believes.
00:59:11.200 Nobody could watch a bunch of men in clown makeup gyrating on stage and actually think to themselves,
00:59:15.600 Wow, this is so impressive.
00:59:18.380 Everyone knows that it is, at a minimum, awkward and weird.
00:59:22.500 But she makes this concession anyway in hopes that she'll be allowed to continue believing, at least,
00:59:26.980 that the U.S. shouldn't have its own version of Afghanistan's Bakabazi.
00:59:30.240 But the left will not give her that permission.
00:59:33.640 As we have seen this week, and we just talked about,
00:59:36.040 the left demands total and absolute acquiescence.
00:59:39.840 And when it comes to the alphabet club, you may not criticize anything that any of them do.
00:59:45.620 So why is it okay for 12-year-old boys to perform in drag for adults?
00:59:48.680 Well, because some members of the alphabet club want them to.
00:59:52.100 That's it.
00:59:52.640 That's all the reason that they can give or, as far as they're concerned, need to give.
00:59:56.500 You either accept this, or you are a homophobic bigot.
01:00:01.540 To which the correct response, of course, is,
01:00:03.580 Well, then I guess I'm a homophobic bigot.
01:00:06.340 That's the appropriate attitude.
01:00:07.720 But Amanda Abington certainly can't bring herself to adopt this approach.
01:00:10.840 The idea of allowing people to call her a bigot and just being okay with it is unthinkable to her.
01:00:15.360 She cannot be viewed that way.
01:00:17.700 She cannot accept it.
01:00:19.280 And so she twists and turns and apologizes and equivocates
01:00:21.940 while trying desperately to hold on to at least some shred of her common sense and moral values.
01:00:26.640 She clings to one little scrap of it and shows up at the left's door on her knees pleading,
01:00:32.620 Please, can I come in?
01:00:33.660 And they say, Yes, but you need to ditch that little bit of sanity and decency that you still have in your hand there.
01:00:38.220 I see it.
01:00:39.060 You're not going to sneak that in here.
01:00:41.400 So she pleads her case.
01:00:43.120 And that's what's happening in the Instagram video.
01:00:45.960 It's completely futile, not to mention rather unsightly and embarrassing.
01:00:49.740 See, I harp on these kinds of cases because they provide a great learning opportunity for the rest of us.
01:00:55.220 I'm often scolded for having such a black and white, all-or-nothing attitude when it comes to the culture war.
01:00:59.780 You just heard some people scolding me about it.
01:01:01.640 But maybe you can see that I have this attitude because that's the kind of war we're in.
01:01:08.320 We're fighting an opponent that demands unconditional surrender.
01:01:11.460 There will be no negotiation, no compromise.
01:01:14.060 I wouldn't be interested in it even if one was potentially on the table.
01:01:17.020 But it doesn't matter because it isn't.
01:01:20.280 Amanda Abington is a perfect example.
01:01:22.300 A few years ago, she took a strong and extremely rational stance.
01:01:26.020 Men aren't women.
01:01:27.600 Transgenderism is false.
01:01:29.180 Don't castrate children.
01:01:31.380 Don't dress boys up like girls and have them dance in drag shows.
01:01:35.240 The left set to work to destroy her for daring to be a sane and normal person.
01:01:38.880 And so she has spent the last many months gradually abandoning all of those positions in successive order in hopes of appeasing them.
01:01:47.580 Now she retains only that last position in hopes that they'll be understanding and accepting of her.
01:01:53.140 She hopes that she hopes you can say to them, well, can I at least still have this?
01:01:58.620 Will you at least have me this one thing?
01:02:00.660 Can I at least still think this?
01:02:03.640 And they say, no, you got to give it all up.
01:02:06.480 Every last shred of your integrity and moral sense.
01:02:09.200 Give it all.
01:02:09.660 Nothing less than full, humiliating, self-debasing capitulation will be accepted.
01:02:17.760 So, as we've talked about, you might as well hold every position, give nothing up, make no compromise, and surrender not an inch of land.
01:02:24.200 If it's all or nothing, then give them nothing.
01:02:27.480 At least that makes it easy.
01:02:28.500 Nothing really to think about.
01:02:29.380 Well, and while we're at it, here's the important point.
01:02:33.820 We need to recapture a sense of moral indignation, of righteous anger.
01:02:40.380 Okay?
01:02:41.000 This is one of the great sins committed by the modern church, for example.
01:02:48.620 We've spent decades telling people, I got to be nice, so the worst thing could ever be is angry.
01:02:52.620 We must never be angry.
01:02:53.640 And so, conservatives and Christians generally have become just that.
01:02:59.780 Have become milquetoast and bland and accepting of everything, and we're not going to be angry about anything.
01:03:06.640 You end up with someone like this woman sitting there on the Instagram video, stammering and nervous.
01:03:11.620 Like her rejection of child drag shows is somehow embarrassing.
01:03:14.980 Somehow a position that she must explain and justify.
01:03:18.900 This attitude is not only pathetic and humiliating, but it sends exactly the wrong message.
01:03:22.720 The more we allow the other side to pretend to be indignant and angry,
01:03:27.060 while we beg for their friendship and apologize for our alleged wrongdoings,
01:03:30.060 the more it appears to the casual observer that they have the moral high ground.
01:03:34.320 But that is not the case.
01:03:36.680 We do.
01:03:37.480 We are in the right.
01:03:38.420 We have the high ground.
01:03:40.400 They're the ones advocating for things that are deranged and crazy and morally abominable.
01:03:46.960 So we not only have the right to be pissed off, but it's also strategically important that we reclaim that ground.
01:03:53.720 Amanda Abington should make a video saying,
01:03:55.440 Are you people kidding me?
01:03:56.880 What the hell is wrong with you?
01:03:58.540 Children obviously shouldn't be performing at drag shows.
01:04:01.460 You freaks.
01:04:02.640 If you disagree, then you're a degenerate scumbag.
01:04:04.680 I have no respect for you.
01:04:05.560 I don't care about your opinion.
01:04:07.120 All of you people attacking me are filthy, depraved barbarians.
01:04:11.160 Shame on all of you.
01:04:12.080 You disgust me.
01:04:13.560 Go back to hell, you demons.
01:04:17.080 That's what she should say.
01:04:18.200 Or worse to that effect.
01:04:19.100 Maybe tone it down just slightly, but not by much.
01:04:20.780 The point is that we who oppose child sexual exploitation, we who stand on the side of basic reason, common sense, and science, we are 100% in the right.
01:04:31.260 And the people who oppose us are not only wrong, but are deeply depraved and evil.
01:04:35.640 And we should always make that clear in the way we deal with these issues.
01:04:39.640 It's the honest way to deal with them.
01:04:42.320 And also the smart way, strategically.
01:04:44.100 But Amanda Abington chose the cowardly and dumb way.
01:04:49.440 And for that reason, she is today canceled.
01:04:53.420 And that'll do it for the show today.
01:04:54.340 Thanks for watching.
01:04:54.900 Thanks for listening.
01:04:55.760 Have a great day.
