The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1207 - The Case That Proves Why Hate Crime Statistics Are Bogus

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Walsh Show, recently a group of black teens assaulted an Asian family on a New York subway.

00:00:04.720 The crime exactly fits the DOJ's standard for hate crime, and yet it will not be prosecuted as one.

00:00:09.960 In fact, even the victims justified their own victimization, saying that their assailants lack, quote, privilege.

00:00:15.960 So we'll sort through this case today.

00:00:17.280 Also, Target took a major sales hit thanks to the backlash against their Pride merchandise.

00:00:21.560 A Hollywood actor sues Home Depot for racial discrimination.

00:00:24.180 Plus, CNN publishes a guide to neo-pronouns, which is even dumber than you think.

00:00:29.000 All of that and more today on Matt Walsh Show.

00:00:38.720 As central banks in countries like China, India, and Australia begin transitioning to a digital currency,

00:00:43.820 the Federal Reserve has been contemplating the same for the U.S.

00:00:46.940 With a digital currency, the government could track every single purchase you make.

00:00:50.360 Officials could even prohibit you from purchasing certain products or easily freeze or seize part or all of your money.

00:00:55.700 These are some of the reasons concerned Americans reached out to Birch Gold.

00:01:00.120 They want to have a physical asset like gold that's independent of the U.S. dollar.

00:01:04.360 You can protect your IRA or 401k by diversifying with gold from Birch Gold today.

00:01:09.240 Historically, gold has been a safe haven in times of high uncertainty, which is right now, unfortunately.

00:01:13.400 Learn if gold is right for you to.

00:01:14.980 Text Walsh to 989898, and they'll send you a free info kit on gold.

00:01:18.300 With an A-plus rating with the Better Business Bureau, thousands of happy customers, and countless five-star reviews.

00:01:22.960 I trust Birch Gold to help you diversify into gold.

00:01:25.560 If a central bank digital currency becomes a reality, it'll be nice to have some gold to depend on.

00:01:29.540 Again, text Walsh to 989898.

00:01:32.560 Police departments nationwide regularly receive a document from the DOJ entitled Hate Crime Data Collection Guidelines and Training Manual.

00:01:40.360 And the point of the manual is to educate officers on how to identify hate crimes and how to report them to the feds for the all-important hate crime statistics that you often see in the media.

00:01:49.600 They were especially everywhere during the Trump presidency, and you still see these hate crime figures cited today, in fact.

00:01:55.420 These are the statistics that supposedly prove that white supremacy is the greatest threat this country has ever faced.

00:02:01.180 Now, given all of the reliance on these numbers, it's strange that no one ever talks about the DOJ manual.

00:02:06.640 You'd think there'd be some curiosity about how these numbers are determined.

00:02:12.140 So I decided to read the document for myself.

00:02:14.680 And one of the most extensive sections of this manual, as it turns out, is the exercises section.

00:02:20.780 And these are the hypothetical scenarios that the DOJ provides to police departments to help them see, you know, how hate crimes actually look.

00:02:28.920 It helps them illustrate hate crime law.

00:02:30.420 And one of the exercises is about two gang members who assault a random Hindu person with a baseball bat.

00:02:37.340 The exercise states that, quote,

00:02:38.880 When taken into custody, the two juveniles reported they committed the assault because they want the Hindu people to go back where they came from.

00:02:46.420 As you probably guess, the DOJ's manual instructs officers to categorize this incident as a hate crime because of the offenders' derogatory comments about the Hindu community.

00:02:55.540 Seems straightforward enough.

00:02:57.160 If you beat somebody up while yelling, go back where you came from, then you're committing a hate crime.

00:03:02.080 And if hate crime means anything, then that would have to qualify.

00:03:07.220 What's interesting is that a real-life version of this exercise just played out earlier this month in New York City.

00:03:13.680 51-year-old Asian-American Sue Young was traveling on a subway train in Greenwich Village, supposedly one of the nice areas of the city, with her husband and her 11-year-old twin girls.

00:03:23.920 And that's when three black teenage girls started screaming and cursing at Sue Young.

00:03:30.620 And she tried to play it off, tried to laugh it off.

00:03:33.220 Her husband suggested the girls might be uneducated, a rather plausible theory, I would say.

00:03:37.920 And then the teenagers told Sue Young to go back where she came from.

00:03:42.500 Within seconds, one of the teenagers, a 16-year-old girl, began attacking Young.

00:03:47.220 And then for good measure, that teenager beat a random bystander who was recording the incident.

00:03:52.480 Now, given all of those facts, you think it's safe to call this incident a hate crime.

00:03:57.240 It pretty much mirrors exactly the scenario in the DOJ's own hate crime manual.

00:04:01.820 Go back where you came from is an admission that the attack relates to the victim's national origin, race, or religion.

00:04:09.180 Pretty straightforward to any reasonable person.

00:04:12.300 But apparently it's not straightforward to New York police because they've decided not to charge the teenagers in this case with a hate crime.

00:04:20.340 They found them, arrested them, and they know that this teen girl told her victim to go back to her country.

00:04:28.680 But there won't be any hate crime charges.

00:04:32.320 That's not because the evidence is unclear.

00:04:34.240 I mean, there's no disputing any of the facts.

00:04:36.640 It's all been established.

00:04:37.540 It's all on video.

00:04:38.720 Watch.

00:04:40.680 New information on that disturbing video showing teens berating and then attacking a family on an F train in Greenwich Village.

00:04:47.760 You saw this video.

00:04:48.540 16-year-old girl has been arrested and charged with two counts of assault.

00:04:52.380 The teen was one in a group of three girls who screamed at a family of four, telling them to go back to where they came from.

00:04:59.080 The situation quickly became violent, with one of the teens even assaulting the woman who captured the incident on her cell phone.

00:05:07.120 Go back where you came from, followed by a beating.

00:05:10.000 Under the DOJ's guidelines, that's a hate crime.

00:05:12.580 I mean, it's literally one of the exact scenarios they specify as a hate crime.

00:05:17.160 But it won't be recorded as one.

00:05:20.020 Now, if you're the kind of person who trusts government statistics on crime or on any topic at all, then this development is mind-blowing.

00:05:27.960 I mean, very surprising, right?

00:05:29.060 It's the kind of thing that might make you ask some unapproved questions.

00:05:32.600 For example, you might wonder, is it really true, as multiple outlets have reported, that the anti-Asian hate crime epidemic is caused by all those MAGA Republicans that secretly live in New York and San Francisco?

00:05:45.540 Are MAGA Republicans not only controlling the weather and melting the ice caps, but also patrolling the streets looking for Asians to randomly assault?

00:05:53.300 Can we trust that data?

00:05:54.680 And if that's happening, then why is that never caught on video?

00:05:59.340 I mean, why is literally every video that we see of an Asian person being assaulted in an apparent hate crime, why is it in every case a black person doing the assault?

00:06:10.180 Like, why have we never actually seen the white person doing this?

00:06:14.720 Well, it might be because the real numbers are quite different from what you hear in the media.

00:06:18.900 Here are the real numbers.

00:06:19.660 As the City Journal recently reported, quote,

00:06:21.480 While black perpetrators account for 27.5% of violent attacks against Asians, Asians commit less than 0.1% of violent attacks against blacks, indicating little role for proximity.

00:06:33.580 Most violent attacks against individuals of a particular racial group are committed by other members of that group, except for Asians, where a plurality is committed by blacks.

00:06:42.000 In fact, blacks are responsible for 305% more violent crime against Asians than neighborhood demographics would predict, while whites and Hispanics commit significantly fewer attacks against Asians than would be expected.

00:06:56.760 So what this suggests is that hate crime statistics are meaningless.

00:07:00.960 I mean, totally bogus.

00:07:02.940 They misrepresent and vastly under-report the amount of anti-Asian racial violence committed by black people, especially young black people.

00:07:12.000 What happened in Sue Young's case is not as unusual as it might appear.

00:07:15.760 To be clear, now, there are many other reasons to conclude that these hate crime statistics aren't reliable.

00:07:20.840 The overwhelming majority of police departments report zero hate crimes every year, for example.

00:07:25.320 So you heard that right.

00:07:26.280 Zero hate crimes.

00:07:28.300 In 2019, fewer than 15% of the nearly 16,000 jurisdictions reported a single hate crime to the DOJ,

00:07:35.100 even though they participate in the DOJ's reporting system.

00:07:37.820 But they didn't report any.

00:07:39.860 So this is a tiny sample size we're talking about here.

00:07:43.220 And these police departments, the few that are reporting hate crimes, they're not verifying as a legal matter that any hate crime occurred.

00:07:50.160 The hate crime statistics, they don't refer to hate crimes that have been proven.

00:07:53.580 They don't refer to convictions.

00:07:55.820 They refer to reports of hate crimes, as the DOJ manual says.

00:07:59.940 So all it takes is a cop to code a case as hateful, and boom, you have a hate crime.

00:08:05.700 No jury or judge is required.

00:08:08.280 These are the gaping holes in the hate crime reporting system that you never hear about.

00:08:12.080 So you have to ask, why do we have this hate crime system if it's not producing anything remotely resembling accurate results?

00:08:19.140 And for that matter, even if we could measure this accurately, why does anyone bother recording hate crimes?

00:08:25.240 I mean, why not record crimes that are motivated by, say, greed or lust?

00:08:28.500 Why does the hate crime designation persist?

00:08:31.860 As I've often argued, the most dangerous people in society are those motivated not by hate, but by indifference to human life, by callous disregard.

00:08:40.780 So why don't we have a separate federal category for indifferent crimes?

00:08:45.180 Why give hate crimes this special place of honor, especially when they aren't being recorded in any kind of honest or consistent way?

00:08:53.440 Well, Sue Young and her husband offer us some clues on that front.

00:08:57.280 They've come out and given interviews absolving their attacker of personal responsibility.

00:09:03.580 It's pretty amazing.

00:09:04.960 Watch.

00:09:06.100 I did, Sandra, frightening.

00:09:07.940 It was her husband as well.

00:09:09.760 They've moved on, left our city, continuing their vacation, but hoping to soon return.

00:09:14.640 Still shaken by all they've been through, but offering a message this afternoon of understanding and forgiveness.

00:09:20.780 I keep running through, oh, I should have done this, I should have done this, you know, XYZ.

00:09:27.080 It happens so fast.

00:09:28.920 Battered and bruised from her New York subway encounter, Sue Young and her husband, still shocked by how quickly taunts on the F train spun wildly out of control.

00:09:39.220 You just go into survival mode and you just want to protect, you know, yourself.

00:09:43.780 You could have attacked them.

00:09:46.320 You did not.

00:09:46.760 You defended yourself.

00:09:47.840 I could have gotten up and attacked them.

00:09:49.640 I didn't.

00:09:50.180 That's them on the left, riding the train with their 11-year-old twin girls Thursday night.

00:09:54.700 They say the three teens sitting across from them started laughing and pointing, and when they didn't back down, quickly became more aggressive than violent.

00:10:04.920 The woman who filmed the confrontation says one of the girls also assaulted her three times.

00:10:11.240 Started over, took me by the hair, threw me on the ground and started punching me.

00:10:15.920 The teens on video telling the family to go back where they came from.

00:10:20.160 Top officials at the MTA and the state weighing in today.

00:10:24.000 I haven't seen the video, but I'll tell you this.

00:10:26.280 There's no place for hate on our system.

00:10:28.340 It's being investigated.

00:10:29.780 This woman had no reason to be attacked whatsoever.

00:10:33.700 There is no tolerance for this in the state of New York.

00:10:36.080 But from the victims themselves, who've been talking to investigators, there's compassion.

00:10:40.900 We don't know what battles other people have in their lives, but I can imagine.

00:10:43.980 They're probably not as privileged, and that has probably a lot to do with their outlook on the world and the anger they may have.

00:10:52.300 Right.

00:10:54.000 So, was this a hate crime?

00:10:55.800 Ask the victims.

00:10:56.680 They'll tell you, absolutely not.

00:10:58.720 Doesn't reach the high bar that needs to be sent for that, they say.

00:11:01.420 Was it a crime?

00:11:02.600 Absolutely.

00:11:03.280 And they're talking to investigators here at the 6th Precinct who are still looking to talk to those three teenage girls.

00:11:08.820 We don't know what battles other people have in their lives, but I can imagine they're probably not as privileged, Sue Young's husband says.

00:11:16.620 He's apparently justifying why he allowed his wife to be accosted right in front of him.

00:11:20.640 They didn't do anything about it.

00:11:22.240 He adds, quote, that probably has a lot to do with their outlook on the world and the anger they may have.

00:11:27.320 Oh, those poor kids.

00:11:28.900 So, therefore, the couple agrees.

00:11:31.140 What happened to them was not a hate crime.

00:11:33.560 They're happy they took their beating instead of fighting back.

00:11:37.340 Now, what that couple is saying out loud without realizing it is the real reason hate crimes persist as a category.

00:11:43.100 The point of hate crimes isn't really to measure hate.

00:11:46.280 The point is to measure victimhood where the victims happen to be the primary voting blocs of the Democratic Party.

00:11:51.940 If you have privilege, meaning if you're Asian or white, then hate crimes can't happen to you.

00:11:56.500 If you're attacked because of your ethnicity and you're in one of those two groups, then you should rationalize it.

00:12:01.240 You should justify the actions of your attackers.

00:12:04.060 One of the many problems with this reasoning, other than the fact that lack of privilege cannot conceivably justify beating up a woman in front of her kids,

00:12:10.440 is that plenty of poor people don't commit violent crimes.

00:12:14.120 I mean, we can measure this.

00:12:15.440 The assumption that Sue Young and her husband have, that their attacker must have had a really hard life,

00:12:20.280 is not an explanation, much less an excuse, for what happened.

00:12:23.700 The Twitter account Monitoring Bias has looked into the numbers on this.

00:12:27.380 And the account found that, quote,

00:12:28.880 in NYC, where the percentage of Asians who live in poverty is close to that of blacks,

00:12:32.620 the black arrest rate for murder was 13 times higher than for Asians in 2020.

00:12:37.320 So, in other words, black people aren't simply committing acts of violence because many of them are poor.

00:12:43.200 It's not that simple.

00:12:44.420 You know, the black violent crime rate is still disproportionately high,

00:12:47.260 even when you control for income level and economic class and that sort of thing.

00:12:52.280 So, the point is that these punks on the subway, they're not really angry or going through any great personal struggle.

00:12:58.240 And if they are, who cares?

00:13:00.200 It's like you lose the right to be pitied when you start victimizing other people.

00:13:05.480 That's not even what's happening here.

00:13:06.720 I mean, they're bored and spoiled.

00:13:09.420 And they've been empowered to act however they want with the knowledge that their behavior will always be excused,

00:13:14.640 no matter how heinous it is.

00:13:16.840 They have no fear of punishment.

00:13:19.620 And that way, they're like the rich Antifa kids who spit on cops,

00:13:22.520 or the lawyers who threw firebombs at a police cruiser during a BLM riot.

00:13:26.660 They're like the thugs who you see going into Nordstrom or the Apple Store,

00:13:29.460 walking out with all the merchandise.

00:13:30.600 They know they're not going to suffer immediate, severe, and long-lasting punishment.

00:13:34.520 They might not suffer any punishment at all.

00:13:37.620 They know their victims are weak and often lack the will to defend themselves.

00:13:42.860 So, they take advantage of it.

00:13:44.460 That's the reality.

00:13:46.200 And some people won't acknowledge it, this reality,

00:13:50.200 even when it hits them in the face many times over on the subway, in front of their kids.

00:13:55.560 They've been fed so many lies, including from the DOJ's hate crimes reporting system,

00:13:59.540 that they're incapable of diagnosing the problem, much less trying to solve it.

00:14:03.060 And what will happen is that their weakness will perpetuate violence on all sides,

00:14:09.240 because people can only take so many random subway beatings and stabbings

00:14:15.200 before they start defending themselves.

00:14:18.060 You know, you heard there in the clip, the Youngs were proud of themselves

00:14:21.040 for not, quote, attacking the black teens who were harassing them.

00:14:24.060 But people are growing weary of that kind of passivity,

00:14:28.760 of this submissiveness in the face of lawless, violent thugs.

00:14:34.060 The dam can't hold forever.

00:14:36.540 And there will be a lot more Daniel Penney is coming soon.

00:14:40.440 And when that happens, the DOJ will call it hateful.

00:14:43.660 They'll call it a sign of rampant white supremacy.

00:14:47.000 What they'll never admit, what they know is true,

00:14:49.980 is that it will be their fault.

00:14:52.080 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:15:01.580 Before giving our dog rough greens, he was so sad and lazy.

00:15:05.400 He wasn't getting the nutrients he needed.

00:15:07.500 Now he's happier and healthier.

00:15:09.140 My team keeps joking that we need to sign it up for one of those speed course dog shows.

00:15:13.940 You know, we stand around joking about my dog.

00:15:16.640 I talk about my dog all the time.

00:15:18.320 So that joke was made about my dog.

00:15:20.620 And I'm always talking about my dog.

00:16:21.740 For the Daily Wire, Target's sales have declined after backlash to its Pride Month collection

00:16:26.760 earlier this year.

00:16:27.800 The company announced on Wednesday Target's quarterly sales sank for the first time in

00:16:31.400 six years, falling 5.4% in the second quarter, which ended July 29th compared to

00:16:36.020 the same period last year, according to the company's second quarter earnings report.

00:16:40.540 Online sales fell nearly twice as much, 10.5%, Target said.

00:16:45.260 The company also said the number of transactions and the average dollar amount of a transaction

00:16:48.860 fell this past quarter.

00:16:50.620 Target's total revenue of $24.8 billion was 4.9% lower than last year.

00:16:55.780 The Minneapolis-based retail behemoth said that because of recent sales trends, it has

00:17:00.260 lowered its overall sales and profit expectations for the whole year.

00:17:04.080 Of course, as you know, back in May, Target faced backlash over its Pride collection, which

00:17:07.760 included a kid's swimsuit with a tag reading, thoughtfully fit on multiple body types and

00:17:12.220 gender expressions.

00:17:14.380 And we know about the satanic stuff and the pronoun stuff and all the rest of it.

00:17:20.360 Target spokeswoman Kayla Castaneda said, quote, in late May, given these volatile circumstances,

00:17:27.680 we're making adjustments to our plans, including removing items that have been at the center of

00:17:31.600 the most significant confrontational behavior.

00:17:33.760 So that was back in May.

00:17:36.220 But on Wednesday, the Target chief growth officer, Christina Hennington, said that the sales were

00:17:44.120 impacted by the, quote, strong reaction to this year's Pride assortment.

00:17:48.400 And she says, the reaction is a signal for us to pause, adapt, and learn.

00:17:53.140 So this is, should be, needless to say, a major victory.

00:18:00.820 And, you know, having Target, I mean, there's the sales hit they took, but also a statement

00:18:07.580 like that from a company like Target, only they're saying it because of backlash from our

00:18:16.660 side.

00:18:17.080 I mean, that rarely happens.

00:18:19.280 So in almost every case, if you've got a company like Target and they issue a statement saying,

00:18:24.360 it's time for us as a company to adapt and learn and educate ourselves, in almost every

00:18:31.260 case, even if you have no context, you don't know what they're talking about, and you hear

00:18:35.560 a company put out a statement like that, you just assume that, oh, well, the left must be

00:18:39.600 mad at them for something if they're promising to adapt and learn and educate.

00:18:44.460 But in this case, no, they're saying it's because of us.

00:18:50.700 It's because we said we don't want this disgusting stuff right in front of our kids.

00:18:55.660 And now Target is saying, well, we need to learn.

00:18:58.300 It's a learning moment for us.

00:19:02.620 That represents them bending the knee to us for change.

00:19:07.500 And you could always point out, well, they still have the pride stuff.

00:19:12.040 They didn't even get rid of it at the time.

00:19:13.360 They moved it to the back of the store.

00:19:15.780 You know, do I think that come pride month next year that they're going to have no pride

00:19:20.700 merchandise at all, that there's going to be no rainbows?

00:19:23.200 No, of course, they're still going to have some of that stuff.

00:19:25.840 But they're going to tamp it down considerably.

00:19:30.040 And they're going to do it because we demanded it.

00:19:32.880 That is a victory.

00:19:33.680 Now, Target is not Bud Light in that they're not going to be totally destroyed by this.

00:19:40.240 Like, Bud Light is in shambles.

00:19:41.800 They're just in ruins.

00:19:42.540 The brand is in ruins permanently.

00:19:45.920 Probably not the case for Target.

00:19:49.100 But they've lost millions and millions of dollars.

00:19:52.140 And that matters.

00:19:54.600 It really matters.

00:19:55.540 And I think the damage for them will also be long-term, if not permanent.

00:20:03.680 I mean, I can tell you that I'm never going back to Target.

00:20:08.140 My family is not going back there.

00:20:09.600 And I know plenty of people who say the same.

00:20:13.600 And the problem for Target is that, like with so many of these companies and products,

00:20:20.700 you know, you use the product or you go to this particular store or this brand or whatever,

00:20:26.400 and you do it reflexively because it's just like part of your routine.

00:20:29.740 So for a lot of people, and this was always the big hurdle when all this first happened

00:20:34.400 with Target.

00:20:35.040 And I remember I was talking about the boycott, of course, pushing for the boycott.

00:20:37.920 And I said at the time, the big hurdle we have to get over here is that, like, this is just

00:20:41.940 a part of people's lives, part of their routine.

00:20:43.760 Oh, you go to Target three times a week.

00:20:45.740 And to get people to develop different habits, to get consumers to develop different habits

00:20:50.420 in response to your boycott campaign is very, very difficult.

00:20:52.660 But we succeeded.

00:20:56.100 And a lot of people have developed.

00:20:57.620 And so you spend a couple, you know, you think, well, I go to Target three times a week.

00:21:01.760 It's right down the road for me.

00:21:03.960 It's going to be a big hassle if I cut Target up.

00:21:06.640 Well, then you do it and you realize that, okay, yeah, I don't really need to go to Target.

00:21:10.600 There's like a million other places I could go.

00:21:12.840 I don't need to go to Target.

00:21:14.480 And you spend a couple months not going to Target.

00:21:16.700 And then it's like, why would I start going now?

00:21:18.540 Now, I obviously am surviving just fine.

00:21:22.100 And it hasn't even been a great inconvenience, it turns out.

00:21:26.340 So that's a big problem for Target now is that it's not just the boycott anymore.

00:21:33.820 It's that consumers have, you know, a sizable chunk of consumers have developed different

00:21:39.200 consumer habits to get around Target.

00:21:43.780 And why would they stop now?

00:21:46.120 And all of this really matters.

00:21:51.520 And it matters because no matter what anyone tells you, when it comes down to it, the old

00:21:58.120 cliche still applies, you know, money talks.

00:22:02.120 And they are, these businesses, they want to make money.

00:22:05.340 They need to make money.

00:22:06.840 Okay, this is not any big revelation.

00:22:08.740 The woke virtue signaling, the pride stuff, why do they do that?

00:22:13.640 Well, they do it for ideological reasons.

00:22:14.920 They do it because the people running these companies, you know, they really do hate their

00:22:20.480 conservative customers and they hate conservatives in general.

00:22:23.340 And so there's some real feeling behind it on their part and some real contempt.

00:22:29.420 And yeah, that's part of it.

00:22:30.580 They do it for their ESG scores.

00:22:32.640 They do it for different reasons.

00:22:34.020 But ultimately, it always boils down to money.

00:22:37.440 It does, you know, and it's, it's, it's marketing.

00:22:41.520 That's what it is.

00:22:43.320 All these other things are contributing factors.

00:22:46.220 But for, for so many years, the company has really leaned into, uh, pride and rainbows and

00:22:53.280 gay, whatever, and all that.

00:22:55.120 And they, they really did that because they figured this is great marketing and we make money

00:22:58.660 off of it.

00:22:59.160 All the other stuff, the, those are just, that, that's all, uh, peripheral.

00:23:08.320 So what these companies are now discovering is that, uh, it's not that simple.

00:23:14.000 It's not that simple.

00:23:15.240 I mean, at a minimum, it's not that simple.

00:23:18.140 This is not necessarily, this is not going to be a simple thing where you just throw the

00:23:21.400 rainbows all over the place and, um, it's a, it's a good, good marketing opportunity

00:23:27.900 for you and all that.

00:23:29.560 And it's not going to be that way.

00:23:33.320 Like there's a real cost when you decide to go that direction as a brand and there's

00:23:37.700 a real risk involved.

00:23:40.500 That's the message that these companies and these brands have now absorbed.

00:23:44.620 And they're now, they're looking at Target and they're looking at Bud Light and they're

00:23:48.340 realizing that, okay, if we do this, there's a risk.

00:23:52.300 Like we stand to lose millions of dollars.

00:23:55.840 Does that mean they're all going to stop doing it?

00:23:57.300 No.

00:23:59.600 But they understand that there is a risk and, uh, that is a significant victory for the

00:24:07.160 right in the culture war.

00:24:08.420 I mean, it's, it actually is hard to overstate what a victory it actually is.

00:24:12.840 Um, and there's no reason to relent, no reason to let up.

00:24:17.060 We absolutely should not.

00:24:19.340 Uh, let's go to this.

00:24:21.040 Daily Wire has this report.

00:24:23.820 Republican Representative Max Miller faced backlash this week from across the spectrum,

00:24:27.800 uh, on the political right after criticizing a woman's social media post in which she professed

00:24:33.300 her reliance on her Christian faith.

00:24:34.800 The woman Republican activist Lizzie Marbach wrote on X, otherwise known as Twitter, there's

00:24:43.020 no hope for any of us outside of having faith in Jesus Christ alone.

00:24:46.020 Miller responded, this is one of the most bigoted tweets I've ever seen.

00:24:50.860 Delete it, Lizzie.

00:24:52.140 Religious freedom in the United States applies to every religion.

00:24:54.780 You have gone too far.

00:24:57.680 Now, Miller was widely criticized over the tweet from virtually every corner of the Republican

00:25:00.760 party and across the conservative political spectrum.

00:25:03.500 Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh said, do your constituents know you consider basic

00:25:06.700 Christian teaching to be bigoted?

00:25:08.360 They do now, I guess.

00:25:09.180 Good luck in the next election.

00:25:10.620 Pro-Trump political commentator Jack Posobiec, uh, posted real talk.

00:25:14.140 You're a sitting GOP congressman, yet have zero tweets about Fannie Willis and the corrupt

00:25:17.680 prosecution of the GOP frontrunner, but instead decided to take the time today to launch an

00:25:22.000 attack on a pro-life staffer from pressing her faith.

00:25:24.340 And you wonder where Republicans lose.

00:25:26.900 Um, a lot of reactions like that.

00:25:29.540 And then Miller later apologized for the tweet after facing pushback and writing, quote,

00:25:33.400 I posted something earlier that conveyed a message I did not intend.

00:25:36.500 I will not try to hide my mistake or run from it.

00:25:38.780 I sincerely apologize to Lizzie and to everyone who read my post.

00:25:42.260 Okay.

00:25:43.640 So Miller apologized, but quite, which was quite predictable.

00:25:48.300 But even so, this is, this is remarkable to me because it might honestly be the greatest

00:25:54.380 unforced error in, in the history of modern American politics.

00:26:00.080 I can't really think it might not be the most consequential one because this is just some

00:26:04.680 representative from Ohio, but I can't think of a more egregious example.

00:26:08.780 You're, you're a Republican congressman from Ohio and you go out of your way to post this

00:26:15.080 response to someone professing the Christian faith, calling them a bigot.

00:26:19.480 Now, keep in mind, this was not, this was not like in the heat of the moment.

00:26:22.520 This wasn't them in an argument.

00:26:24.760 The original tweet he was responding to wasn't even directed at Miller in any way.

00:26:30.140 He just saw it and decided it was a good opportunity to let everyone know that the Christian

00:26:34.920 faith is bigoted.

00:26:35.640 You know, when you're on Twitter, especially if you're a public figure, a politician, and

00:26:40.680 you decide to do the quote tweet, there's like thought behind that.

00:26:43.480 You're thinking, well, I want to, because it's, you're not even just responding.

00:26:47.880 You're saying, I want to respond to this in a way that everyone can see.

00:26:51.280 I've got a response to this tweet.

00:26:52.860 That's so great.

00:26:53.480 I want everyone to see it.

00:26:55.400 And Miller thought that to himself.

00:26:56.980 He said, you know, it's great.

00:26:57.540 I want to call Christians, all Christians bigots, and I want everyone to see me doing

00:27:02.220 it.

00:27:02.960 They're going to love it.

00:27:06.520 And then all the Christian Republicans said, no, we don't love it, actually.

00:27:10.540 That's horrible.

00:27:11.260 What are you doing?

00:27:12.660 And then he immediately back, oh, oh, you don't want it.

00:27:15.140 Oh, okay.

00:27:15.960 You don't want me to slander the entire Christian faith as bigoted.

00:27:19.540 Well, I apologize then.

00:27:21.900 It's just, what is the thought process?

00:27:27.520 And that's part of the problem is that, is that Miller, yeah, he apologized, but given

00:27:31.060 that this was not something shouted in an argument in a moment of anger or whatever, given that

00:27:36.000 this was a, this was, this was a posted, this was an unsolicited, unprovoked post on

00:27:41.160 Twitter, it does reveal what he actually thinks, which is that a basic statement of Christian

00:27:46.840 faith is bigoted.

00:27:47.540 So you can apologize for it, but you said it for a reason.

00:27:52.140 This is apparently what you think.

00:27:54.760 Because by the way, what Lizzie Marbach posted is, is just basic Christianity.

00:27:59.240 It's, it's what any Christian thinks.

00:28:00.820 If you don't think it, you're not a Christian because that's the faith, you know, and there's

00:28:05.260 no reason to be offended by it.

00:28:06.780 I mean, I also, I never understand that either.

00:28:09.240 People get offended when someone professes their religion and says, I believe my religion is

00:28:13.060 true and yours is wrong.

00:28:13.980 Well, of course you think that if, if a Mormon announces that the only true faith is Mormonism

00:28:20.000 and it's the only way to get to heaven, uh, that doesn't offend me.

00:28:23.600 I don't agree with it because I'm not Mormon, but like, I know that you feel that way.

00:28:28.020 That's why you're a Mormon.

00:28:28.900 If you weren't Mormon, then, you know, if you didn't feel that way, you wouldn't be Mormon.

00:28:33.260 So it doesn't make any sense.

00:28:34.420 It doesn't make any sense to say, well, like, what's the alternative?

00:28:36.700 The alternative is to say, Hey, I'm this religion and I believe this, but if you believe something

00:28:41.060 else that's also valid and true and everyone is right now, I know that there are some Christians

00:28:45.220 who want to be, uh, like pluralistic and ecumenical and universalist or whatever, who will say stuff

00:28:51.000 like that, but it makes no sense.

00:28:52.760 It's not just heresy.

00:28:53.980 It's illogical.

00:28:55.320 The Christian faith makes certain claims about the world and those claims are either right

00:29:00.140 or wrong.

00:29:01.860 If they're right, then every other religion is wrong.

00:29:05.240 You know, and that means if you're a Hindu, you're wrong.

00:29:08.960 If you're a Jewish, you're wrong.

00:29:11.020 You might not be wrong about everything you think, but you're wrong fundamentally about

00:29:14.560 the most important thing.

00:29:15.820 If the Christian faith is true, that's the logical conclusion.

00:29:19.100 So that's what every Christian believes because it logically follows.

00:29:25.820 Um, and it makes no sense to be offended by it.

00:29:29.980 And in fact, to be offended by an authentic expression of Christian faith is then itself

00:29:36.100 bigoted.

00:29:36.900 You're saying that the Christian faith is somehow objectionable and should not be expressed publicly.

00:29:42.460 So you are revealing bigotry against Christians.

00:29:45.200 And that's what this representative did, which is bad, of course, for a lot of reasons, but

00:29:49.960 it's also just politically insane for a Republican in Ohio.

00:29:55.400 Um, okay, let's do this one.

00:30:01.260 Ben Shapiro has been trending this week and, uh, I have too, actually.

00:30:05.440 So we're, we're always sort of competing to see who can have the most people yelling at

00:30:08.820 them on Twitter at any given moment.

00:30:10.200 And for a while, I feel like I was ahead and then Ben had a great run with the Barbie stuff

00:30:14.400 and all that.

00:30:14.900 And then, uh, and then I was trying to claw my way back, uh, and it's been back and forth,

00:30:19.200 but now Ben is trending partly because of, of this video that will play for you.

00:30:24.240 And this is a video from, uh, about 10 years ago.

00:30:26.220 And it shows, we're told by all the left leftists on Twitter that, that Ben is a hypocrite and

00:30:32.680 a grifter, grifter, because apparently in 2014, Ben said that he thinks presidents should

00:30:40.060 be indicted for crimes they commit.

00:30:42.340 And yet he does not agree with the Democrats indicting Trump every three and a half days.

00:30:47.940 So what's up with that, huh?

00:30:50.400 Let's watch the, uh, the old video.

00:30:52.520 I'm not sure we can indict Washington, but I think that, uh, certainly I'm sure something

00:30:57.560 was done.

00:30:58.240 Uh, Washington was relatively clean, but if, but if you look at, you know, George W. Bush,

00:31:02.100 or if you looked at Bill Clinton, or if you looked at Ronald Reagan, sure.

00:31:05.380 I mean, the answer would be that, that you could, and people should be wary.

00:31:08.660 I mean, this is, this is sort of the case that I'm making is that we've become so comfortable

00:31:12.340 with the executive branch of the government abusing its citizens and violating our rights and

00:31:17.060 violating what they're structured to do under the law that we've just become used to it.

00:31:21.560 And if we start treating them as criminals, maybe they'll think twice before they act

00:31:24.400 so criminally in the future.

00:31:26.160 Hmm.

00:31:26.920 What a grifter.

00:31:28.260 No, he's not a grifter.

00:31:29.040 He's a grifter, uh, because he denies aliens.

00:31:31.560 That's the grift.

00:31:32.460 That's the great grift that everyone in the Daily Wire, except for me, participates in.

00:31:35.760 Uh, but not for that, because three things, and I think this is important because a few

00:31:39.640 important points to make here.

00:31:40.540 First of all, and these are stunning revelations.

00:31:43.040 Okay.

00:31:43.280 So the first point is this, not all situations are the same as every other situation, you

00:31:52.880 see?

00:31:53.400 So it doesn't, so you could have a situation that is one thing, and then you have another

00:31:57.800 situation that's not the same thing as that situation.

00:32:00.780 And so people will respond to the, this one situation a certain way, and then another situation

00:32:06.660 a different way.

00:32:07.500 It doesn't make any sense to say, well, why aren't you responding to those situations exactly

00:32:10.160 the same, well, because they're not the same, because they're different.

00:32:14.720 So the situation where Democrats are targeting their political rival with phony charges to

00:32:20.520 stop them from getting reelected is a situation that did not exist in 2014.

00:32:25.120 So Ben has a different view about this specific situation that he didn't have back before this

00:32:30.300 situation existed.

00:32:32.140 I'm saying the word situation so much, it's starting to lose all meaning in my head, as

00:32:35.120 I, as I said, but you get the point.

00:32:36.520 Now, second, related, circumstances also change.

00:32:41.200 So Ben in 2014 was talking about having a very strict kind of approach to politicians and

00:32:47.140 presidents, treating them like criminals if they crossed the line.

00:32:50.120 But then, of course, Obama was never prosecuted for his corruption.

00:32:53.140 Neither was Hillary, neither was Biden.

00:32:54.480 So obviously, what was being advocated in that video 10 years ago was not adopted.

00:33:00.300 Like, that strategy was not adopted.

00:33:01.740 So he's not, therefore, going to be in favor of Trump's indictment, because this is clearly

00:33:05.640 not the kind of scenario that Ben was talking about.

00:33:07.740 In fact, you know, I've said something similar recently.

00:33:10.360 I've said that the only way I could possibly support some of these charges against Trump

00:33:17.060 is if we lived in a country that was so hostile towards politicians, so skeptical of them,

00:33:24.820 so ruthless towards them, that we took, we looked for any reason to indict any of them

00:33:30.840 for even the most minor crimes.

00:33:33.000 Like, if we lived in a country where there are hundreds of politicians in prison right

00:33:37.480 now because we're just looking for any reason to throw them behind bars, if we were in the

00:33:42.560 kind of country that is constantly throwing ex-presidents in jail, if we lived in my fantasy

00:33:49.500 land where politicians are treated like whores with contempt and scorn, then at least the

00:33:56.500 treatment of Trump would fall right into that, and it would be consistent.

00:34:02.400 That would make all the charges correct, but at least it's like, okay, well, they're going

00:34:05.820 after Trump because that's what we do with all politicians.

00:34:07.880 He's a politician, and this is what you get, because we hate you all.

00:34:13.500 But that is a fantasy land.

00:34:15.140 That is not even close to the country we actually live in.

00:34:19.160 In fact, every politician, at least every Democrat, is let off the hook for everything

00:34:24.220 they do, while Trump specifically is indicted every time he double dips a tortilla chip in

00:34:31.840 a bowl of salsa, which is a bad example because I actually would support people getting indicted

00:34:36.740 for that.

00:34:37.240 I'd be fine with that.

00:34:38.480 But you know the point.

00:34:39.600 Anything he does, they get indicted, and also for things he didn't do, he gets indicted

00:34:42.560 as well.

00:34:42.840 So we are not holding our politicians to a high standard.

00:34:46.400 We are holding Democrats to no standard while Trump is persecuted for political reasons.

00:34:53.840 And obviously, that's not okay.

00:34:56.340 And the third point is that, in general, people are allowed to change their minds.

00:34:59.680 And I know this is like a mind-blowing thing to people these days.

00:35:02.240 We can go back, you know, because we live in the modern age, which means that you can always

00:35:07.020 go back, and there's a paper trail, especially for someone who's been in the public eye, but even

00:35:10.980 if they haven't, there's a paper trail, there's a digital paper trail of like every opinion

00:35:15.540 you've ever had for the last 10, 15, 20 years.

00:35:18.320 And so you can go back and you can sift through, it was like, what did they say 10 years ago?

00:35:22.940 So Ben, actually, I don't think what he's saying here is inconsistent at all.

00:35:26.460 There hasn't really been any change.

00:35:28.020 But the implication is that there was, and even if there was, like, so what?

00:35:33.180 So this is stupid game we play, where someone says something, and then you pull up something

00:35:40.200 they said 10 years ago and say, well, this you?

00:35:43.980 This you?

00:35:45.960 Yeah?

00:35:47.140 I changed my mind?

00:35:48.640 It's been 10 years?

00:35:50.000 Like, do you not?

00:35:51.100 Have you held the exact same views on every topic without change your whole life?

00:36:01.760 Like, if you have, then I guess you're in a position where you can throw stones at people

00:36:04.960 who change their mind.

00:36:06.160 But actually, that just makes you an absolute, that makes you, you're not even conscious.

00:36:09.580 You're like a, you're an inanimate object in that, and you don't even, you're barely sentient

00:36:14.620 if you're not changing your views on things and adapting and, you know, and changing the

00:36:20.000 way you think about things.

00:36:20.700 That's like, that's a natural part of the process of, like, growing and being a conscious

00:36:25.420 human being.

00:36:26.180 So if you haven't changed any of your views at all, then that just makes me suspect that

00:36:30.200 you are, you're like a robot.

00:36:34.200 So the whole thing is completely absurd.

00:36:39.940 And it's a game that's played totally inconsistently.

00:36:43.320 And, and it's all very stupid.

00:36:47.400 Okay.

00:36:50.300 Let's see.

00:36:50.780 We've got one other thing here from the LA Times.

00:36:55.380 Interesting case.

00:36:57.280 Not really interesting at all, but we're going to talk about it.

00:36:59.740 Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson is taking Home Depot to court, accusing the home improvement

00:37:04.880 chain of discrimination and racial profiling.

00:37:07.920 So in a lawsuit, here's the case.

00:37:10.680 Okay.

00:37:10.840 He was discriminated against and racially profiled at a Home Depot.

00:37:14.500 And the moment you think, you hear that, you might think like at a Home Depot, discrimination

00:37:21.200 at a Home Depot.

00:37:23.780 That usually, I mean, any Home Depot I've been to, pretty, pretty diverse.

00:37:27.200 So just not exactly what you would expect to encounter that kind of thing.

00:37:34.220 And it gets even more surprising when you realize that the other two people who are discriminated

00:37:39.620 against, allegedly, one of them's name is Eric Mora, and the other one is Manuel Hernandez.

00:37:44.940 So we're supposed to believe that Hispanic people are being discriminated against at Home Depot,

00:37:52.180 which is also a little bit surprising.

00:37:57.220 So the core of the lawsuit is a February 11th incident in which Home Depot clerks allegedly

00:38:01.080 purposely interfered with and refused to process a transaction by Gibson, Mora, and Hernandez

00:38:07.720 based on their skin color and the craftsman's national origin.

00:38:11.700 Okay, so that's what they're saying.

00:38:15.660 Gibson went in with these two Mexican guys, and he tried to buy some stuff.

00:38:20.580 And apparently, based on what I'm reading so far, he was told by the store clerk, he

00:38:26.160 was told by the cashier, oh, we can't process this.

00:38:29.160 Why can't you process it?

00:38:30.380 Because you're black.

00:38:31.700 Because you're black and they're Mexican.

00:38:33.440 Get the hell out.

00:38:34.580 We don't serve your kind here at Home Depot.

00:38:38.120 That happens at Home Depot all the time.

00:38:39.680 Very common.

00:38:40.200 Very common occurrence.

00:38:42.660 So is that what happened here?

00:38:43.820 We'll keep reading.

00:38:44.520 According to legal documents, Gibson and his two associates were purchasing items for a

00:38:47.600 home improvement project, but the checkout process took longer due to a glitch in the

00:38:51.860 system.

00:38:52.780 While an unidentified employee was re-scanning the items, fans began to notice Gibson, who

00:38:56.760 stepped out of the store to avoid creating disturbance.

00:38:59.120 The lawsuit says that Gibson informed the employee that Mora and Hernandez would complete the purchase

00:39:04.200 with his credit card.

00:39:06.220 The cashier acknowledged Gibson and said he understood.

00:39:08.660 The lawsuit says Gibson asked the cashier if the cashier needed anything further from him

00:39:12.460 to complete the transaction.

00:39:13.560 The cashier said no and that Gibson could leave.

00:39:16.020 After Gibson left, the cashier refused to complete the transaction with Mora and Hernandez,

00:39:19.600 despite Gibson again authorizing the transaction via FaceTime video calls, the document says.

00:39:24.620 Gibson returned to the store and completed the transaction only after heated discussions with

00:39:27.500 the cashier.

00:39:28.360 The actor also asked to speak to the store's manager, who allegedly refused to speak with Gibson

00:39:32.460 in person.

00:39:34.520 The lawsuit says, quote, this is a clear and deplorable instance of discriminatory mistreatment

00:39:39.100 and consumer racial profiling.

00:39:40.880 The treatment of Gibson, Mora, and Hernandez by the Home Depot was humiliating and demeaning.

00:39:46.480 So that's it.

00:39:47.420 That's what happened.

00:39:48.420 He was trying to buy something.

00:39:50.300 He wanted to step out of the store and still have the thing processed.

00:39:54.660 And the cashier originally, according to him, the cashier originally said, yeah, you can do that.

00:39:58.740 But then he left and the cashier said, actually, I can't process it unless he's here.

00:40:02.160 And so it's kind of inconvenient.

00:40:03.480 And that's it.

00:40:04.020 That's all that happened.

00:40:04.960 And from that, they're extrapolating that Home Depot is discriminating against blacks and

00:40:11.260 Mexican.

00:40:13.240 Which, by the way, if Home Depot were to refuse to provide service to Hispanic people, they

00:40:20.320 would go out of business in 45 minutes.

00:40:24.100 They wouldn't be able to.

00:40:25.800 It's like saying that Cinnabon is discriminating against obese people.

00:40:28.740 Like that's your whole, that's most of your clientele.

00:40:32.180 So that doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:40:33.960 But here's what we see here.

00:40:36.700 This is a good example of the racism framework that I'm always talking about, where if you

00:40:43.420 have the left's racism framework and you're black or you're in an approved victim group,

00:40:50.300 then every mild inconvenience will be understood based on it.

00:40:54.640 So it's more of a lens, I suppose, than a framework.

00:40:57.500 Framework makes it sound more intellectual than it really is.

00:41:00.560 It's just a lens.

00:41:02.540 And this is the lens through which they view the world.

00:41:05.280 And the lens says that you're blacks, you're a victim.

00:41:09.320 Everyone automatically is racist against you because you're black.

00:41:11.500 And so therefore, it's just anything that happens to you that you don't like is because of racism.

00:41:17.680 Nobody needs to say anything that indicates it or anything like that.

00:41:22.100 It's just it happened to you.

00:41:24.480 You don't like it.

00:41:25.260 You're black.

00:41:26.140 Therefore, it is racist.

00:41:27.140 And that is as complex as the equation gets if you're looking through the racism lens, which also makes it—the more that you keep these glasses on, the more that you look at the world through this lens, it's like the more detached from reality you become, where you lose any grip on just like human nature.

00:41:57.000 And understanding how the world works.

00:42:00.480 Because those of us who are not wearing those lenses, we hear a story like this and we think, like, yeah, that's how it goes at these places.

00:42:07.140 You go in and, you know, you're told one thing by one customer service guy and then it doesn't work.

00:42:14.460 And then you want to talk to a manager and the manager is like, this is just—this is how it goes.

00:42:18.620 Or if there—if you go to one of these places and there's like a slight wrinkle, there's a slight complication, you want to do something that's like a little bit outside of the norm.

00:42:29.720 And in this case, he wants to process the transaction while he walks outside.

00:42:32.420 It's just like a slight wrinkle.

00:42:33.700 And that breaks down the whole system.

00:42:36.020 And mostly because you're dealing with a, you know, a cashier who's like a 17-year-old kid who has no idea what's going on and doesn't care.

00:42:45.460 And no one is really invested in what they're doing.

00:42:49.380 Nobody actually cares about you as a customer.

00:42:51.840 But that's the case for all of us.

00:42:53.140 This is the boat we're all in.

00:42:54.060 And if you don't have the racism lenses on, then you just understand that, okay, yeah, that's life.

00:43:00.700 That's how it works at these places.

00:43:02.320 Like, we all experience that.

00:43:04.980 But, of course, if you see it that way, then you can't make your—what is he going for?

00:43:08.700 A million dollars.

00:43:10.340 You know, Tyrese Gibson, he's a star of Fast and Furious, which is a franchise that somehow has made, you know, $75 trillion at the box office.

00:43:17.300 He needs another million from Home Depot to assuage his deep emotional suffering, of course.

00:43:22.380 Let's get to the comment section.

00:43:24.060 If you're a man, it's required that you grow up in hay with a sweet baby gang.

00:43:33.300 The second annual Daily Wire Fantasy Football Draft Party is coming up soon.

00:44:06.580 The sweepstakes are open now, but they close on August 19th at 11.59 p.m. Eastern Time.

00:44:12.380 Brian says, I think as a man, you just have to deal with a degree of loneliness, and I feel like you have to learn how to cope or accept that and turn it into an advantage.

00:44:22.580 Yeah, well, I think that's the case for humans in general, not just men, but it is an important point.

00:44:27.720 And you're right that that's part of the story that isn't discussed.

00:44:30.740 Loneliness is a problem.

00:44:32.580 There's too much of it.

00:44:33.400 There's too much despair.

00:44:34.440 Suicide is an epidemic.

00:44:35.340 Also, yes, a certain amount of loneliness comes with being a human being, and you have to know how to cope with that.

00:44:43.240 So part of the problem, I think, is an inability to cope with loneliness.

00:44:46.580 It's not just that people are lonely, but also that people don't know how to deal with being lonely.

00:44:53.400 I say the same thing about, for example, what we're told is the bullying epidemic in schools.

00:45:00.820 That kids are being bullied all the time, and that's certainly one where I don't think there's any evidence that it's worse than at any other point in history.

00:45:08.000 There have always been bullies.

00:45:09.940 And so with that, is it an issue of kids being bullied too much, and that there's too much bullying, and it's an epidemic?

00:45:14.340 Or, I mean, yeah, bullying is bad, and it shouldn't happen.

00:45:18.240 But also, there's something going on where we are not raising our kids to know how to deal with being bullied, to know how to cope with it.

00:45:26.140 So I think it's a similar thing here, because there's a certain rather profound isolation that I think is just inherent to the human condition.

00:45:39.120 Like the fact that you are an individual living in the world with your own mind, and that no other individual shares your mind or your conscious experience of the world, that very fact is, by definition, isolating.

00:45:51.620 So we are all in that sense, in the sense of being distinct individuals.

00:45:57.960 We're sort of isolated to some extent just by the nature of being human.

00:46:03.980 And so there's this kind of like baseline loneliness that's called being human, and you have to know how to deal with that.

00:46:11.480 And I think a lot of people don't.

00:46:16.560 Taryn says,

00:46:17.820 Yeah, me and my brother-in-law, in fact, do exactly that.

00:46:34.420 We go fishing together in different kayaks, in different parts of the lake.

00:46:37.940 And also, by the way, it's not like men never talk to each other.

00:46:41.880 Okay, that's not the point.

00:46:43.520 Of course we do.

00:46:44.940 But we also talk about different things, and we relate in different ways.

00:46:48.780 So another recent example, this time my brother, brother-in-law, I talked to him recently a few days ago.

00:46:55.860 I hadn't talked to him in a little while.

00:46:56.880 Well, and afterwards, it was the same thing, where my wife was asking me,

00:47:00.820 Oh, what's going on with him?

00:47:02.920 Like, ask me all these questions, like, what's going on in his life?

00:47:05.200 I was like, I don't know exactly.

00:47:08.780 We didn't really talk about that.

00:47:11.100 Well, what do you need to talk about?

00:47:12.060 What did you talk about?

00:47:12.940 Well, the truth is that one of the things we talked about was whether Captain Bly or Ernest Shackleton

00:47:18.560 had the more impressive sea voyage after being stranded.

00:47:21.680 So that's what we spent time talking about.

00:47:24.240 We didn't really get into, what's going on at work?

00:47:27.740 How's your family?

00:47:28.700 We didn't spend any time on that.

00:47:31.760 And to me, it's like unimaginable that my wife would spend any time talking with anyone in her life

00:47:40.880 about Captain Bly or Ernest Shackleton.

00:47:43.960 And it certainly would not be the first thing she brings up after talking to a family member

00:47:47.380 that she hasn't talked to in a little bit.

00:47:50.660 But we are different, is the point.

00:47:54.240 Goldie says, from my personal experience, the best advice to lonely, depressed men is

00:48:02.520 to buy themselves a nice big pickup truck.

00:48:05.160 The bigger, the better.

00:48:06.340 Other men, toys such as motorcycles, boats, et cetera, are highly recommended.

00:48:10.280 The secret to happy life is to play, play, and play again.

00:48:13.180 I have to disagree fundamentally with so much of that.

00:48:16.200 And I would definitely say, no, do not try to assuage your loneliness by buying expensive things.

00:48:22.460 That's not the key.

00:48:23.980 That's not going to help.

00:48:25.820 And also, you're adding bills, and you're adding financial hardship and strain.

00:48:31.140 And that's ultimately not going to make you feel any better.

00:48:34.240 So, no.

00:48:34.760 But hobbies.

00:48:37.340 I don't know about buying, just like buying things to buy them.

00:48:40.180 And I also think that that's also a more feminine way.

00:48:46.800 Like, that's what women are going to be more inclined to do, to deal with stress or whatever

00:48:50.740 in their lives.

00:48:51.220 They want to go out and buy stuff.

00:48:52.720 I don't think men typically operate that way.

00:48:54.660 But taking up a hobby is a different deal.

00:48:57.860 And I think that's also something.

00:48:59.200 You know, it's not a, it's not the primary thing, but when we're talking about the overall

00:49:04.580 issue of male loneliness and feeling directionless, not having a purpose, part of the story is

00:49:10.680 also that, yes, men don't have the same fellowship.

00:49:14.540 We don't have the same opportunities for fellowship and for all that, and to kind of go somewhere

00:49:17.640 and be around other men.

00:49:18.340 And, and also, I think men don't have hobbies, you know, like they used to.

00:49:26.140 I think there are a lot of, a lot of men that you meet that just have like no hobbies at

00:49:29.480 all.

00:49:29.640 You ask them, what are your interests?

00:49:30.960 What do you like to do?

00:49:31.700 And it's like nothing.

00:49:32.780 They just don't like to do anything.

00:49:35.380 They watch TV, they're on their phone, and that's kind of, everything is screen-based.

00:49:41.860 This is men and women, increasingly.

00:49:43.320 Um, but it's a bigger problem for men because we need, you, you, you just, you can't live

00:49:49.260 that way.

00:49:49.580 You need to do something.

00:49:50.720 You need to have something that you like to do.

00:49:53.040 And it doesn't matter what it is.

00:49:55.860 Um, I think all men have this, but you have to activate it, but we all, we all have this

00:50:00.640 propensity for getting really invested.

00:50:03.620 And it could be a, just a random hobby that we, that we'd suddenly care about for reasons

00:50:09.700 that we can't possibly explain.

00:50:11.500 But you got to have something.

00:50:13.720 I think it's really important to have something.

00:50:16.660 And, uh, let's see.

00:50:18.800 One more.

00:50:19.380 This is from Jay Gould says, male competition is not what's ever made me lonely or anxious.

00:50:24.120 Dealing with modern women in society does though.

00:50:26.860 I feel emotional, emotionally abused by trying to engage with modern women and that I can't

00:50:32.480 be myself for fear of attack, which is exhausting.

00:50:35.440 Making someone be something they aren't is exhausting and leads to mental anguish.

00:50:39.180 Okay.

00:50:41.040 So a couple of things.

00:50:42.060 First, you're onto something when you say that women are a much greater source of stress

00:50:47.160 and anxiety, uh, for men than is competition with other men.

00:50:51.960 You know, as men competition in the male sense doesn't scare us.

00:50:55.360 We like that.

00:50:55.800 We thrive on that.

00:50:57.500 And now it was so dumb.

00:50:58.600 And one of the many things that that, that Washington Post article was wrong about was

00:51:02.100 so dumb about it is they said that men are depressed because they're in constant competition

00:51:06.280 with each other.

00:51:07.280 Like that's what brings us anxiety.

00:51:09.780 I mean, we literally invent dumb things to compete over.

00:51:14.020 Okay.

00:51:14.480 That's why sports exist.

00:51:16.000 That's why, that's why all, every sport was invented by men and it's, it exists simply

00:51:20.480 so we have a reason to compete with each other and to win something because we like to do

00:51:24.480 that.

00:51:25.820 Um, we need that, you know, the, the interaction with pursuit of rejection by women.

00:51:33.380 On the other hand, that can be a real source of despair because it's requiring us to operate

00:51:37.460 in a gear that's not nearly so effortless or comfortable.

00:51:42.480 Um, I mean, look at it this way.

00:51:45.060 Competition in the masculine sense is something that I still pursue.

00:51:49.700 I'm a very competitive person, but the competition for female attention and affection, that's something

00:51:55.620 that, cause I'm a married man.

00:51:56.560 I left that behind over a decade ago.

00:51:57.980 I don't remotely miss it.

00:51:59.360 I mean, I can look back onto being in high school and playing high school sports and

00:52:02.940 like that level of competition.

00:52:04.380 I kind of missed, I missed that being, being involved in that real specific kind of competition,

00:52:09.520 organized sports, you know, men can look back and miss those days, but I don't look back

00:52:13.800 on being single and competing for that.

00:52:16.480 I don't miss it all.

00:52:17.340 I can leave that behind forever.

00:52:18.580 I have, I, I, I am so happy to be done with it.

00:52:21.640 Um, but leaving behind masculine competition in that sense, you never really, I mean, I'll

00:52:27.980 be 87 years old and competing with some dude at the nursing home over who can, I don't know,

00:52:33.700 eat their pudding cup the fastest.

00:52:35.460 I mean, it's always going to be something.

00:52:37.880 So, I mean, you're onto something there and you're correct about that.

00:52:40.440 With that said, just to be real with you and to be blunt saying that you've been emotionally

00:52:48.340 abused by all modern women, I mean, this is the kind of self-pitying stuff that isn't

00:52:53.940 going to help you.

00:52:55.400 Um, honestly, as a man, you shouldn't even be saying the phrase emotionally abused in

00:53:00.080 relation to yourself.

00:53:00.860 Like your grandfather, I don't know who your grandfather was, but I can almost guarantee

00:53:05.220 he would have never in a million years accused anyone of emotionally abusing him, even if they

00:53:11.260 really did.

00:53:12.080 He never would have said it because your grandfather and his generation and all generations of men

00:53:16.780 before him, you know, right up until now, detested self-pity.

00:53:22.300 They hated it.

00:53:23.120 It was disgusting.

00:53:24.000 It was revolting to them.

00:53:26.460 And we need to reclaim some of that attitude too.

00:53:29.700 So we can talk about the struggles that men face and it's very important to talk about.

00:53:32.300 I do talk about it all the time.

00:53:34.040 The danger though, on one side of it is that is, is you lapse into this full-on really gross

00:53:42.080 kind of self-pity.

00:53:43.480 I'm being emotionally abused.

00:53:44.580 Everyone hates me.

00:53:45.280 No one likes me.

00:53:46.780 And part of being a man is like, okay, you just cut that out.

00:53:50.420 So first of all, get a grip.

00:53:53.340 Okay.

00:53:53.780 Compose yourself.

00:53:56.080 It's, it's, you know, crying about it is not the way to handle it.

00:54:01.320 And once you've composed yourself, now we can have a real conversation about this.

00:54:05.740 Candace just wrapped the 10 part series, Convicting a Murderer that you don't want to miss.

00:54:09.180 It's one of our most ambitious projects yet.

00:54:11.600 You might think you're familiar with the Stephen Avery case and everything that happened in

00:54:15.360 Manitowoc County.

00:54:16.720 This is especially true if you watched Making a Murderer, but it turns out the filmmakers only told you part of the story.

00:54:22.200 And coming soon, Candace Owens will unveil the shocking parts of Avery's story that were omitted in a Netflix series.

00:54:27.880 So excited to present the Convicting a Murderer trailer.

00:54:30.740 Check it out.

00:54:31.160 This is a collect call from an inmate at the Calumet County Jail.

00:54:36.620 The man served 18 years in prison until DNA evidence cleared his name.

00:54:40.240 The Two Rivers man was convicted of sexual assault in 1985, but exonerated with DNA evidence in 2003.

00:54:47.740 So this is the infamous Avery lot.

00:54:50.800 Now, two years later, he again finds himself tied to a police investigation.

00:54:56.460 Accused of murdering Teresa Hallbuck on the Avery property.

00:54:59.760 Stephen Avery's 16-year-old nephew admitted his involvement in the rape and murder of Teresa Hallbuck.

00:55:05.600 The car is discovered just around the bend.

00:55:09.640 It was just this worldwide phenomenon.

00:55:11.900 I think they framed this guy.

00:55:13.000 I think he intended to crush the vehicle, but ran out of time.

00:55:16.380 Avery thinks the $36 million lawsuit he filed is why he's being targeted in this investigation.

00:55:24.260 1021 and 24 Main Street Cuts.

00:55:27.460 Do we have Stephen Avery in custody?

00:55:28.960 Netflix made millions of dollars from making a murderer, but the filmmakers left out very important details.

00:55:35.640 Mountains of evidence that you have not yet seen.

00:55:38.220 The blood vial.

00:55:39.040 The most egregious manipulation from the movie.

00:55:42.140 Interrogations.

00:55:42.720 That's when he started beating me because I told him that he's sick.

00:55:46.100 Cell phones.

00:55:47.060 And I saw melted plastic parts of a cell phone.

00:55:49.660 Interviews.

00:55:50.140 Her arms were pinned behind her head.

00:55:51.700 They made Stephen Avery look like a victim.

00:55:53.840 Do you believe your brother's guilty?

00:55:56.060 I don't know if I'm a suspect.

00:55:57.860 I got nothing to hide.

00:56:03.380 I'm getting sick and tired of media deception.

00:56:07.020 Evidence piling up.

00:56:08.300 Why would they omit so many different things?

00:56:10.260 Why are you editing my testimony?

00:56:12.200 I am not going to make the same mistake that the filmmakers did.

00:56:19.440 Rearranging the testimony.

00:56:21.500 They delete a portion of it at the end.

00:56:24.000 How could they claim to care about the truth?

00:56:26.040 They all know that Stephen Avery committed this crime.

00:56:31.440 911, what is your emergency?

00:56:33.480 The evidence forces me to conclude that you are the most dangerous individual ever to set foot in this courtroom.

00:56:40.840 Well, to get the rest of the story, you have to watch Convicting a Murderer coming to you this September.

00:56:58.180 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:56:59.280 Today we'll deal with something that is so cancelable that there is almost no point in canceling it.

00:57:09.020 It's the kind of cancellation that will require very little thought or effort.

00:57:12.320 But sometimes you have to take a swing at the softballs that are lobbed right down the middle of the plate.

00:57:15.700 So that brings us to something posted on CNN.com this past weekend titled

00:57:19.180 A Guide to Neo Pronouns from A to Zay.

00:57:23.060 This article written by a woman named Scotty Andrews, it's the kind of thing that eight or nine years ago

00:57:27.780 could have only existed as parody.

00:57:29.640 In fact, eight or nine years ago, if I had written this exact article as a satire of leftism,

00:57:34.100 almost everyone would agree that the satire is too outlandish and bizarre to really land.

00:57:39.900 It doesn't ring true.

00:57:41.300 It's a straw man, not a satire.

00:57:43.380 That's what people would have said.

00:57:45.140 Fast forward less than a decade and leftism has exceeded even the wildest fever dream of the satirist.

00:57:50.800 We now live in a world where something like this is written with all seriousness and sincerity

00:57:55.660 and published on one of the most trafficked news sites in the country.

00:57:59.760 The article begins, quote,

00:58:02.220 He's my boss.

00:58:03.260 Her dog is cute.

00:58:04.480 They have an exam today.

00:58:05.820 Pronouns are part of speech we use to refer to ourselves and others.

00:58:09.060 They're an essential component of language and, as of the last few years,

00:58:12.220 among its most hotly contested two.

00:58:15.300 Okay, I have to stop already here.

00:58:16.800 To be clear, pronouns are not hotly contested.

00:58:21.120 There is no legitimate debate about pronouns.

00:58:24.180 What many of us contest, what we categorically deny, because it's insane,

00:58:28.080 is the idea that a man can or should use pronouns that actually apply to women or vice versa.

00:58:32.880 So the real issue is not the word, but the thing the word is supposed to represent.

00:58:37.360 In fact, it turns out that everyone still basically agrees that men are referred to as he and women as she.

00:58:43.060 This is not disputed by almost anyone.

00:58:44.520 That's why you rarely, if ever, hear anyone say,

00:58:48.140 I'm a man, but I use she, her pronouns.

00:58:51.140 You never hear that.

00:58:53.300 Now, I'm sure eventually the left will get around to that kind of nonsense,

00:58:55.980 but that's not generally how it goes now.

00:58:57.860 Everyone generally still agrees that she, her applies to women and he, him applies to men.

00:59:02.020 Again, the pronouns aren't being contested.

00:59:03.960 So when a man says,

00:59:05.840 I'm a woman, call me she,

00:59:07.920 the second part of that sentence isn't really the problem,

00:59:11.840 at least not the underlying problem.

00:59:12.880 It's the first part.

00:59:14.380 It's that he isn't really a woman.

00:59:16.200 If he was a woman, then I would certainly call him she.

00:59:19.000 He's correct that that is the pronoun that we should use for those who are women.

00:59:24.060 But he is not a woman.

00:59:26.500 So this may seem like semantics, perhaps, but it's anything but.

00:59:28.820 This is the whole point.

00:59:29.640 The left likes to pretend that they're simply expanding our language,

00:59:32.960 that they're loosening the rules of grammar and so on.

00:59:34.940 But that is, that is not fundamentally the issue.

00:59:38.060 That's not, this isn't really about language.

00:59:39.840 It's about the reality that the language is meant to represent.

00:59:43.300 When they insist that we call a man a she,

00:59:45.940 they are insisting that we agree with the claim that the man is a woman.

00:59:50.400 They are, they are recruiting us, not into some looser conception of language,

00:59:54.160 but into a false conception of reality.

00:59:57.000 The point is that for, for the most part, the left still abides by what they pretend to decry

01:00:03.280 as restrictive and outdated language rules.

01:00:06.400 They still adhere to those rules.

01:00:08.520 They still believe that men are called he and women are called she,

01:00:11.020 but they also believe or pretend to believe that a man is a woman if he claims to be one.

01:00:16.500 But then, of course, they're all, we get to these so-called neo-pronouns,

01:00:19.340 and this is where things really do dissolve into pure gibberish.

01:00:22.780 So let's keep reading.

01:00:24.800 Quote, and then there are neo-pronouns.

01:00:27.000 Gender-neutral or non-binary pronouns that are distinct from the common she, he, and they.

01:00:31.700 Neo-pronouns include terms like Z and M,

01:00:34.560 and some of them even date back several centuries,

01:00:36.920 when they were introduced by writers as a solution for referring to subjects without assuming gender.

01:00:41.040 Now they're also commonly used by non-binary and trans people.

01:00:44.320 All pronouns indicate identity and can be used to include or exclude people they describe,

01:00:48.840 neo-pronouns included, said Dennis Barron,

01:00:51.080 one of the foremost experts on neo-pronouns and their histories

01:00:53.940 and an emeritus professor of English and linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

01:00:59.500 Neo-pronouns should be used and respected like any other pronoun, he told CNN.

01:01:03.700 People like to have a say in how they're identified, Barron said.

01:01:06.800 Refusing to let people self-identify is a way of excluding them.

01:01:10.160 Well, that last part is nonsense, of course.

01:01:12.940 I mean, the whole thing is nonsense.

01:01:14.040 Every part is nonsense.

01:01:14.840 But that last part in particular is nonsense

01:01:16.580 because nobody is interfering with anyone else's ability to self-identify.

01:01:20.960 You can perceive yourself however you want to perceive yourself.

01:01:23.260 There's no possible way for me to control your self-perception of yourself, even if I wanted to.

01:01:28.940 But there's a difference between, you know,

01:01:30.800 in letting people decide who they identify as

01:01:33.700 and letting people decide how they are identified.

01:01:36.740 Okay, the latter has nothing to do with the former.

01:01:40.800 The former is your own thought process.

01:01:42.640 It's your own perception.

01:01:44.660 So, you know, if you think to yourself,

01:01:46.480 and if you're a man and you think to yourself,

01:01:47.660 I'm a woman, that's your self-identity.

01:01:49.920 It's like, that's your, I can't stop you from thinking that.

01:01:54.080 That thought process and perception is wildly wrong,

01:01:57.420 but you're free to see yourself in a wildly wrong way.

01:02:02.340 Again, nobody can stop you.

01:02:03.660 The latter, however, how you are identified is someone else's perception.

01:02:10.420 It's someone else's thought process.

01:02:14.220 They identify you according to their perception of you.

01:02:18.920 And just as they can't control your perception of yourself,

01:02:21.520 you can't control their perception of you.

01:02:25.300 Now, we haven't even really gotten into the meat of the neopronoun discussion

01:02:28.040 because I keep running into incredibly stupid statements in need of correction.

01:02:30.960 So let's just try to charge forward.

01:02:32.220 Neopronouns, meanwhile, are less commonly used than those three familiar pronouns.

01:02:38.240 They're often used by non-binary, trans, and gender non-conforming people

01:02:41.620 because they offer more freedom of identity.

01:02:43.880 In his book, What's Your Pronoun?,

01:02:45.400 Barron wrote that neopronouns, quote,

01:02:46.840 expand the ways that people are able to indicate their gender identity

01:02:49.860 to encompass anyone who is trans or non-binary,

01:02:52.320 as well as those who choose an altogether different term to categorize,

01:02:55.940 characterize their gender.

01:02:57.400 Other neopronouns are completely original to their user.

01:02:59.620 Some may choose to select a noun to describe themselves like star or star-self

01:03:04.020 in place of binary pronouns like she or herself.

01:03:07.340 These are called noun-self neopronouns.

01:03:11.020 No, these are called bulls.

01:03:13.060 And if you prefer a more technical term, that's it.

01:03:16.340 But I'm going to skip around from here a little bit

01:03:18.360 because there's only so much of this we can take.

01:03:20.240 Eventually, we're given a handy guide on how to use this gibberish,

01:03:23.260 and here are some examples in the article.

01:03:26.660 I asked Zer to come to the movies.

01:03:29.220 Z said yes.

01:03:30.780 The teacher graded Zer paper today, and Zay got an A.

01:03:34.960 Faye told me that Fair best friend is in town this week.

01:03:38.440 I'm taking M to the park today.

01:03:40.640 A wants to bring Air camera to capture the garden for M-self.

01:03:44.040 I hope Leif knows how proud we are that Leif is getting to know Leif's self better.

01:03:51.100 You know, this reminds me of one of my kids' favorite Dr. Seuss books.

01:03:55.700 It's called There's a Walk It in My Pocket.

01:03:58.440 And this reminds me of that book in some way

01:04:00.160 because Dr. Seuss also enjoyed making up silly words off the top of his head.

01:04:03.500 The only difference is that he didn't expect us to take it seriously,

01:04:05.820 but this is what the left has become.

01:04:07.380 When they talk about pronouns, it sounds like something Dr. Seuss might have come up with

01:04:10.200 if he had green hair and nose piercing and, you know, was high on crack.

01:04:15.320 But perhaps the most revealing part of this article comes from the one single example

01:04:18.760 the author can find of an actual human being using neo-pronouns.

01:04:23.900 And it says this, quote,

01:04:25.720 Dua Saleh, a musician and actor who's appeared on the Netflix hit series Sex Education,

01:04:30.860 uses the pronoun they and Z, X-E.

01:04:33.640 Dua Saleh told their social media followers in 2020 after Z started to use Z pronouns

01:04:41.480 that it's, quote, really affirming to find the pronouns that are right for you.

01:04:45.460 I just like the neo-pronouns, Saleh told Complex in 2022.

01:04:50.140 I feel like they fit me better.

01:04:51.400 Not all the time, but they're just fitting.

01:04:53.020 There's an element where I'm just like, oh, that sounds really nice.

01:04:55.980 Or it sounds nice coming out of my mouth or hearing other people say it.

01:05:00.280 Well, there it is.

01:05:01.120 You might have been wondering, how in the hell can someone identify as Xerh?

01:05:06.600 What does it mean to identify as a Xerh?

01:05:09.660 Like, how does one come to the conclusion that they are a Xerh?

01:05:13.480 What is a Xerh?

01:05:15.420 Is it similar to a walk it in the pocket?

01:05:18.380 Well, this is the answer.

01:05:19.900 Xerh and Z and the other pronouns are, as you suspected, just a bunch of nonsensical drivel.

01:05:24.900 They don't mean anything.

01:05:25.900 They don't signify anything.

01:05:27.220 They aren't even making a false claim about reality as a man does when he says that he identifies as a she.

01:05:34.220 Because there's no claim being made.

01:05:37.060 Like, when someone says, I'm a Xerh, that is a claim so nonsensical that you can't even say it's false.

01:05:44.300 Because to say it's false is to say that there's, like, some coherent statement that's being made that doesn't reflect reality.

01:05:55.520 But Xerh, that's just not anything.

01:05:57.400 That is nothing at all.

01:05:59.140 It's, like, it's not true or false.

01:06:00.340 It's nothing.

01:06:02.100 It's pure gibberish.

01:06:03.460 So, when someone identifies this way, it's because, as Dua Saleh says, they like the way it sounds.

01:06:11.600 It sounds nice to them.

01:06:15.440 Now, you might be thinking, isn't it pure insanity to assign gibberish to other people that they have to say simply because you think it sounds nice?

01:06:24.500 The answer is no, it's not insane.

01:06:27.940 It's narcissistic.

01:06:29.340 It is industrial-grade narcissism.

01:06:31.820 It is narcissism so pure, so potent, that it seems like insanity.

01:06:37.560 This is how utterly and entirely self-obsessed and high on their own fumes the left has become.

01:06:43.120 They've reached a level of self-absorption that is indistinguishable from psychosis.

01:06:48.300 That's what the neopronoun represents.

01:06:50.560 It's the moment when selfish crosses over into psychotic.

01:06:54.500 And the two can no longer be distinguished.

01:06:56.900 The distinction is now moot.

01:06:59.640 They might not be clinically insane, but they are so egotistical that they might as well be.

01:07:05.200 Or, excuse me, Z might as well be.

01:07:08.500 And that is why neopronouns are today canceled.

01:07:12.320 And that will do it for the show today.

01:07:14.060 Thanks for watching.

01:07:14.640 Thanks for listening.

01:07:15.400 Have a great day.

01:07:16.620 Godspeed.

01:07:24.500 Godspeed.

01:07:25.200 Godspeed.
