00:00:00.000 Today on The Matt Walsh Show, the UK government is now pushing big tech companies to demonetize
00:00:04.320 Russell Brand, even though he hasn't been convicted or even charged with anything.
00:00:07.940 But there's a stark contrast between Russell Brand's treatment and other famous celebrities
00:00:11.780 who have even more troubling histories.
00:00:13.760 Also, the media now admits that the Bud Light boycott was one of the most effective boycotts
00:00:17.940 in all of US history.
00:00:19.080 Plus, a new survey reveals that many Americans can't even name one branch of government,
00:00:23.280 and yet somehow they're still allowed to vote.
00:00:25.100 And a famous left-wing comedian has made a career out of his elaborate stories of victimhood.
00:00:28.920 Turns out that it was mostly made up.
00:00:31.240 What a shocker.
00:00:31.780 All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
00:00:58.920 Think about how much you use your phone.
00:01:00.820 The scary part is that your phone carrier collects data on whatever it is you're doing.
00:01:04.880 They say that it's so that they can better understand your interest, but really all they
00:01:09.020 want is to sell your activity to advertisers.
00:01:11.440 Stuff like the sites you visited and what you've been up to online, the more they can get on
00:01:15.300 you, the larger their paycheck becomes, which is why I use ExpressVPN.
00:01:19.340 ExpressVPN is an app that prevents your phone carrier from being able to see the sites you
00:01:22.800 visit and sell it to third parties.
00:01:24.600 All it takes is one tab of a button.
00:01:26.900 All of your network data gets encrypted and rerouted through ExpressVPN's secure servers
00:01:30.620 for ultimate privacy.
00:01:32.140 Easy, effective, no reason not to do it.
00:01:33.820 Not only does it shield your web browsing, ExpressVPN protects all of your network data
00:01:37.280 so you can stay private even when you're using your favorite apps.
00:01:40.840 Whether you're an iPhone, Android, or even a tablet user, ExpressVPN works on all of your
00:01:45.140 devices.
00:01:45.520 The best part is one subscription can be used on up to five devices at the same time.
00:01:50.020 When your phone carrier tracks you, that's a gross invasion of privacy.
00:01:53.160 You can either keep letting them cash in on you, or you can visit expressvpn.com slash
00:01:58.100 Walsh.
00:01:58.380 That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash Walsh to get protected.
00:02:02.020 Expressvpn.com slash Walsh.
00:02:04.220 If you decided to one day go on YouTube looking for old Howard Stern clips, you'd have a lot
00:02:08.980 of edgy, politically incorrect content to choose from.
00:02:11.700 Stern's many segments with an intellectually disabled dwarf comedian named Beetlejuice, for
00:02:16.640 example, are not very hard to find.
00:02:18.840 There's also a bunch of compilations of people fighting on Stern's set in the style of
00:02:22.320 Jerry Springer, usually over money or adultery or whatever.
00:02:25.920 There's enough degeneracy there to last you weeks if for some reason you were inclined
00:02:29.180 to go and seek it and watch it.
00:02:31.160 But there's some recurring Howard Stern content that's not so easy to find, because by and
00:02:35.780 large, it's been scrubbed from most major video sharing sites.
00:02:39.460 The segments I'm talking about involve Stern speaking about his sexual attraction to children,
00:02:44.500 specifically Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.
00:02:46.600 Again and again, for several years, Stern described the Olsen twins as sexually attractive.
00:02:53.760 Quote, they're so amazingly hot, Stern says in one of the segments, referring to the underage
00:02:58.300 girls.
00:02:59.280 And in several cases, Stern brings up the girls unprompted, leading to awkward moments with
00:03:04.100 his co-hosts.
00:03:04.600 Because it's not possible to truly eliminate any content from the internet, you can still
00:03:10.400 find this footage if you know where to look.
00:03:12.360 A small handful of anonymous accounts have defied corporate censors and uploaded some of Stern's
00:03:18.100 many disturbing comments about children that he finds sexually attractive.
00:03:22.700 So here's just one example where Stern laments that the girls, in his estimation, aren't as
00:03:28.880 attractive now as they were when they were 13 years old.
00:03:32.980 To speak of them individually is when they turn 18, who do you want to bang first?
00:03:39.360 Yeah, it was weird.
00:03:39.840 I was reading this magazine.
00:03:41.460 Yeah, Mary-Kate or Ashley.
00:03:43.560 Exactly.
00:03:44.260 Well, actually, Beth was reading a magazine.
00:03:46.040 She goes, hey, did you see this?
00:03:47.140 I forget what magazine it is, but it's the Olsen twins hugging each other in a photo shoot,
00:03:52.220 and they go, this is Howard Stern's fantasy.
00:03:54.660 You're kidding.
00:03:55.440 What magazine did this?
00:03:56.660 I don't know.
00:03:58.120 I don't know.
00:03:58.880 It was some magazine.
00:03:59.680 You know what, though?
00:04:01.860 I don't really want to have sex with them anymore.
00:04:03.920 Me neither.
00:04:04.980 No, no.
00:04:05.460 I don't know.
00:04:06.800 They got kind of dwarf-y looking.
00:04:08.220 Which one of them looks like a monkey?
00:04:10.280 Yeah, exactly.
00:04:11.220 It's like something went wrong.
00:04:13.040 They stopped growing or something.
00:04:14.560 They're not as hot as you thought they were going to be.
00:04:16.180 No way.
00:04:16.920 It really looked for a while.
00:04:18.020 Like, when they were 13 or 14, they were going to be supermodels.
00:04:21.520 But then they got stuck right there.
00:04:24.160 They kind of, yeah, they kind of, like, didn't grow or something.
00:04:26.860 It's weird, and I was counting down on their 18th birthday so we could have sex with them,
00:04:30.100 but...
00:04:30.520 Not everybody lives up to that.
00:04:32.220 Like, what's-her-face did?
00:04:34.260 Alyssa Milano.
00:04:35.200 She lived up to that.
00:04:35.920 Yeah.
00:04:36.260 She got hot.
00:04:37.320 Someone told me she's really hairy, though.
00:04:39.020 Who, Alyssa?
00:04:39.820 Like, she's got a belly hair.
00:04:41.320 Really?
00:04:41.860 Yeah.
00:04:42.280 Like, like, like, you know...
00:04:43.720 Who told you that?
00:04:44.820 I don't know.
00:04:45.580 She's a guinea.
00:04:46.860 Yeah.
00:04:47.420 How dare you?
00:04:49.880 But the Olsen's would get that Hobbit-looking thing going, you know?
00:04:52.640 Right.
00:04:53.260 Like, they live in Middle Earth.
00:04:56.780 Yeah, their money make them look...
00:04:58.640 Yeah.
00:05:00.240 Okay, so you see there, not only did he always talk about wanting to have sex with underage
00:05:04.820 girls, but as he says there, it was in a magazine, presumably some sort of tabloid magazine.
00:05:11.220 I mean, it was a, it was like a running joke in the entire media.
00:05:14.800 Everyone in the media knew, oh, you know, that, that old man, Howard Stern, wants to
00:05:18.600 have sex with these underage girls.
00:05:19.980 Isn't that so funny?
00:05:21.300 Everybody knew it and just accepted it as some charming quirk of Howard Stern's.
00:05:28.720 And there are many more clips like that that we could play.
00:05:30.940 Some are even more disturbing than the one you just heard.
00:05:32.820 This is a grown man in his 40s at the time, repeatedly sexualizing children who are barely
00:05:38.460 teenagers.
00:05:38.960 Now, many people have had their lives destroyed, have been reduced to groveling apologies for
00:05:45.580 saying things that are not, that are not even a 10th as bad as what Stern says there.
00:05:51.240 And that wasn't even a 10th as bad as other things that Stern would frequently say.
00:05:55.880 These clips were, though, nauseating and creepy when he made them, and they're nauseating and
00:06:00.500 creepy now.
00:06:01.660 There was never a point in American history where it was acceptable to sexualize children
00:06:04.980 like this.
00:06:05.540 But for years, Howard Stern continued doing just that right out in the open.
00:06:10.420 Nobody stopped him.
00:06:12.320 He didn't seem ashamed of it at all.
00:06:14.360 He tracked the Olsen twins from puberty to adulthood, commenting on their sex appeal as
00:06:18.180 he perceived it at every turn.
00:06:21.480 But somewhere along the line, Howard Stern and his team decided that he had to stop talking
00:06:25.620 about the Olsen twins.
00:06:26.420 And more than that, someone decided that all of Stern's past comments about the Olsen twins
00:06:30.280 needed to be purged from the Internet.
00:06:32.960 All the other degenerate segments, or most of them, could stay online.
00:06:36.360 But the stuff where he lusts after young children, well, that had to go.
00:06:41.060 And it was different from all the other smut.
00:06:42.960 It was too damning.
00:06:44.360 And so they went in and they tried to get rid of it.
00:06:45.780 And with that evidence mostly expunged from the Internet, Stern has embraced pretty much
00:06:50.780 every agenda item of the Fortune 500.
00:06:53.260 He is now officially a woke hall monitor by his own admission.
00:06:56.940 In fact, this week, Stern proudly identified as woke.
00:07:00.520 Listen.
00:07:01.800 If woke means I can't get behind Trump, which is what I think it means, or that I support people
00:07:09.880 who want to be transgender, or I'm for the vaccine, dude, call me woke as you f***ing want.
00:07:18.380 Now, as part of this new woke persona, Stern attacked Lauren Boebert for her inappropriate
00:07:23.600 behavior in that theater a few days ago.
00:07:25.980 This is the guy who spent the first three decades of his career being a creepy, degenerate sex fiend.
00:07:30.960 And now he's playing the prude.
00:07:32.420 Now he's pretending to be scandalized by the sort of behavior that he would openly have on his show
00:07:39.820 all the time.
00:07:41.020 He's become a pathetic old washed up schoolmarm, but he's now shielded by his new woke identity.
00:07:47.720 He's immune from accusations of hypocrisy, just like he's immune from accusations of being a
00:07:51.560 dirty old man attracted to children.
00:07:53.900 It's a revealing transformation, if only because it shows how little daylight there is between
00:07:59.040 woke hall monitors and depraved pedophilic scumbags.
00:08:04.440 Depraved pedophilic scumbags and woke hall monitors, they're not two destinations on opposite
00:08:09.220 ends of the spectrum.
00:08:10.880 Like he went from one to the other.
00:08:14.340 At no point did he kind of make a pit stop and try out being a decent, normal person.
00:08:20.180 He never tried that out.
00:08:22.740 That's because it's not a long journey to get from one to the other.
00:08:25.460 They're in the same neighborhood and there's a lot of overlap.
00:08:28.540 And they know it.
00:08:29.800 Howard Stern knows it.
00:08:31.280 Which is why he's sensitive about all those clips of him salivating over 13-year-old girls.
00:08:35.220 There are other old clips that are inconvenient for Stern too, of course.
00:08:38.860 Clips that are especially relevant after what just happened to Alex Jones.
00:08:43.440 Jones, as you recall, was just ordered to pay something like a billion dollars, a billion
00:08:47.900 dollars to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook mass shooting.
00:08:51.840 And it bankrupted him.
00:08:53.360 Now, of course, Jones was wrong in what he said about Sandy Hook.
00:08:55.920 He admits that.
00:08:57.460 But as far as we know, Howard Stern has never apologized for his decision to mock the victims
00:09:02.500 of the Columbine school shooting.
00:09:04.020 In fact, Stern did not just mock these victims.
00:09:07.660 He said that their killers should have raped them first before executing them.
00:09:14.420 He actually said this on his show.
00:09:17.260 Listen.
00:09:19.020 How's it going?
00:09:20.320 All right.
00:09:21.400 This is Howard?
00:09:22.060 Yeah.
00:09:22.880 Oh, man, I lived like a mile and a half in the school, man.
00:09:25.660 I had a couple friends that were there and I talked to them yesterday.
00:09:28.580 What'd they say?
00:09:29.720 They said that it was just a bunch of chaos shooting and...
00:09:32.700 Boy, a bunch of good-looking girls go to that school.
00:09:34.220 That guy was right.
00:09:34.840 The guy who called in, he was a little too excited, but...
00:09:37.140 There was, like, really good-looking girls running out of there with their hands over
00:09:39.940 their heads.
00:09:40.380 Yeah, I'd say the bomb teams are still working.
00:09:42.320 Did those kids try to have sex with any of the good-looking girls?
00:09:44.580 They didn't even do that.
00:09:45.700 At least if you're going to go kill yourself and kill all the kids, like, why wouldn't
00:09:49.160 you have some sex?
00:09:50.920 Yeah, I would think that I would want some sex, by the way.
00:09:53.100 Yeah, I mean, if I was going to kill some people, I'd take them out with some sex.
00:09:55.620 I guess they were getting a rush from what they were telling me.
00:09:59.440 They seemed like, these guys were really against the good-looking girls because the
00:10:02.040 good-looking girls wouldn't pay attention to them.
00:10:03.540 I don't think the good-looking girls would be begging them to live and they'd go, you
00:10:05.980 don't have to beg because you're going to be dead in a minute.
00:10:07.820 Don't cry.
00:10:08.620 Don't cry.
00:10:09.680 Yes.
00:10:09.860 So that's pretty much the most vile thing a human being could possibly say.
00:10:18.360 I mean, that's, like, the worst.
00:10:20.980 Now, I personally give people a lot of leeway for jokes, quote-unquote, made years ago in
00:10:26.000 a different time when people weren't as sensitive and edgy humor wasn't as edgy back then.
00:10:31.040 It was a different world.
00:10:32.200 It was a different culture.
00:10:32.680 But this is way beyond the bounds of what would have been considered remotely acceptable
00:10:38.060 even in the 90s.
00:10:39.960 This is, again, perhaps the worst thing I've ever heard anyone say ever.
00:10:46.520 It's the kind of thing that, how could that even come to your mind?
00:10:50.380 How are you even thinking about that?
00:10:53.260 He's not only joking about a school shooting right after it happened.
00:10:55.620 This was a day later.
00:10:58.000 You have to understand something about Columbine when it happened.
00:11:00.000 I mean, this was, of course, any school shooting is a terrible tragedy, very sad.
00:11:04.400 But at the time, you know, this was, for Columbine, for those who lived through it, it was, it was,
00:11:10.160 it was, like, similar to 9-11 before 9-11 happened.
00:11:13.500 Just the effect it had on the, on the country.
00:11:16.260 Just the, the kind of shell shock that most people were experiencing the next day and for,
00:11:19.840 and for weeks after.
00:11:20.840 And here he is a day later, telling, quote-unquote, jokes about how the kids who were just killed
00:11:30.160 should have been raped.
00:11:33.860 Lusting after the survivors of the school shooting and saying the shooter should have
00:11:37.360 raped their victims.
00:11:39.380 Keep in mind, he said all this when he was a grown man in his mid-40s.
00:11:42.980 But Howard Stern has never been banned from any social media platform for those comments.
00:11:48.200 He wasn't ordered to pay a billion dollars to the, to the, how do you think the victim,
00:11:53.700 the, the, the families, the parents of those children must have felt hearing that?
00:12:00.140 Did he ever have to pay them a billion dollars in restitution?
00:12:04.320 He didn't pay him a dime.
00:12:05.160 And that's because, fortunately for Stern, he mocked the Columbine victims prior to this
00:12:10.820 new era of wokeness where free speech is illegal as long as it's sufficiently, you know, offensive.
00:12:16.920 And now, just to cover his basis, Stern has completed his transition into the cult of wokeness
00:12:21.720 soon enough to protect himself against cancellation.
00:12:25.900 Now they're not going to come after him because he's on their team.
00:12:29.920 Which is part of the strategy for Howard Stern.
00:12:32.080 Of course, this was not a coincidence that he decided to, to make this transition into
00:12:37.000 being fully woke, pro-trans, pro-vaccine, everything.
00:12:40.640 Complaining about Donald Trump, I guess, every show.
00:12:43.060 I don't listen to a show at all, but that's what it seems like.
00:12:46.700 Now, meanwhile, Russell Brand is being demonetized based on accusations alone.
00:12:52.420 Unlike Howard Stern, Russell Brand never publicly expressed his sexual attraction to 13-year-old
00:12:56.980 girls.
00:12:58.080 He never said that school shooting victims should have been raped.
00:13:00.980 But he has expressed skepticism about Big Pharma and the war in Ukraine.
00:13:06.700 And for that reason, this week, a culture committee in the UK Parliament sent Rumble a letter
00:13:11.640 requesting that they demonetize Russell Brand.
00:13:14.920 Quoting from the letter, quote,
00:13:16.280 I'm writing concerning the serious allegations regarding Russell Brand.
00:13:19.320 We would like to know whether Rumble intends to join YouTube in suspending Mr. Brand's ability
00:13:23.720 to earn money on the platform.
00:13:25.080 In the most passive-aggressive fashion imaginable, the UK Parliament also sent out a similar letter
00:13:30.640 to TikTok, quote,
00:13:31.800 We would be grateful if you could confirm whether Mr. Brand is able to monetize his TikTok posts,
00:13:36.760 including his videos relating to the serious accusations against him, and what the platform
00:13:40.540 is doing to ensure the creators are not able to use the platform to undermine the welfare
00:13:43.840 of victims of inappropriate and potentially illegal behavior.
00:13:46.320 Now, let's take stock of what we're seeing here.
00:13:50.100 This is the government of the UK effectively telling multiple social media platforms to
00:13:54.820 demonetize one of the most influential commentators on the planet solely on the basis of unproven
00:14:00.380 allegations.
00:14:01.500 This is the government moving to have financial penalties imposed on someone without any criminal
00:14:10.140 conviction at all.
00:14:11.540 Not just no criminal conviction, no criminal charge has even been levied at this point.
00:14:19.380 There's no plausible deniability here.
00:14:21.220 They're being pretty much as explicit as they can possibly be about it.
00:14:25.160 Before the Twitter files came out, this would have been dismissed as a wild conspiracy theory.
00:14:29.820 You weren't allowed to think that governments were colluding with big tech to censor unapproved
00:14:33.580 voices, but now the government is just coming out and admitting that's exactly what they're
00:14:37.980 doing.
00:14:38.240 So, this isn't just happening in the UK, the Biden administration does it too.
00:14:43.220 Well, unlike its competitor, YouTube, Rumble emphatically rejected the request from the
00:14:46.840 UK government to their credit.
00:14:49.160 But YouTube is the far bigger platform, and their decision to instantaneously demonetize
00:14:53.760 Russell Brand sets a very worrying precedent, and also a totally incoherent and inconsistent
00:15:01.460 one.
00:15:01.800 As Elijah Schaefer has pointed out, Cardi B is currently fully monetized on YouTube, and
00:15:08.360 that, in spite of the fact that she, if you want to talk about what things people have
00:15:11.160 done in their past, she openly admits to drugging and robbing men in her past.
00:15:16.540 It's on tape.
00:15:17.140 She admits it.
00:15:18.300 Watch.
00:15:19.780 Cardi B is responding to a whole lot of backlash she is getting for an admission that she made
00:15:24.980 on an Instagram Live video three years ago.
00:15:27.500 Now, someone brought it back up, the internet likes to do that sort of thing, and Cardi
00:15:32.060 was talking about her days when she was working as a stripper, and she admitted that she would
00:15:35.880 take guys back to hotel rooms, drug them, and rob them.
00:15:39.960 Here's what she said.
00:15:40.680 I mean, you can't understand what the hell she's saying, but just to translate for you,
00:15:57.080 yes, she openly admits and brags about the fact that when she was a stripper, she would
00:16:01.720 cozy up to guys, and she would get them back to the apartment, and then she would drug them,
00:16:08.900 and then she would rob them, violent felonies that she's bragging about.
00:16:13.340 Her history as a confessed date rapist has not precluded her from major corporate sponsorships
00:16:19.080 or monetization on YouTube.
00:16:22.580 You know, we call this a double standard, but double standard isn't really the right term
00:16:26.080 for this.
00:16:26.400 It's really one standard.
00:16:28.220 And the standard is if you're useful to the left, if you're on their team, you can essentially
00:16:33.140 do whatever you want.
00:16:34.160 You can say whatever you want.
00:16:35.000 You can do whatever you want.
00:16:35.760 That is the standard consistently applied, and nobody can really deny that anymore.
00:16:41.180 This is not an arbitrary application of shifting sets of standards.
00:16:45.260 This, again, is one standard.
00:16:47.300 Leftists are immune.
00:16:48.480 That's the rule.
00:16:49.120 That's the standard.
00:16:51.420 Now, with that in mind, we might ask, what's the appropriate response?
00:16:56.200 Because pointing out hypocrisy is not going to do anything.
00:16:58.740 It's not accomplishing much.
00:17:00.540 We've learned that much over the past few years.
00:17:03.300 What's needed is some courage.
00:17:04.620 We need more of what Rumble is doing.
00:17:06.320 Rumble knows that Russell Brand might actually be guilty of what he's accused of doing.
00:17:10.820 After all, he was an admitted sex-addicted degenerate back when these crimes supposedly
00:17:14.960 occurred.
00:17:15.300 It certainly is not outside the realm of possibility that he did treat the women the way that he's
00:17:20.600 accused of treating them.
00:17:21.460 But the leadership of Rumble understands that it makes no sense to un-person Russell Brand
00:17:26.320 based on mere allegations when we know for a fact that Brand's critics are entirely
00:17:30.920 motivated by politics.
00:17:32.180 They want to mete out punishments only to the enemies of the regime while its allies and
00:17:38.220 lackeys are given exemptions.
00:17:41.160 Kowtowing to these people is not a smart or sustainable strategy.
00:17:44.840 We just can't do it.
00:17:45.660 In fact, all we can really do now is just ignore everything that the system says and assume
00:17:53.820 for all intents and purposes that everyone they demonize is innocent.
00:17:59.100 Now, if we're being honest, that's not always going to be true.
00:18:03.640 Sometimes we'll be wrong and we'll end up defending people who are guilty.
00:18:07.320 Sometimes the system will say, every once in a while, the system will say something true.
00:18:11.760 Every once in a while, maybe the system villainizes someone who actually is a villain.
00:18:17.520 But the problem is that they lie so often about so many things and they're so blatantly driven by
00:18:23.280 ideology and by narrative and are so wildly dishonest.
00:18:27.340 And their motives are so evil that we have to ignore them completely at this point.
00:18:36.740 By defending and promoting the most odious scumbags among us, by embracing ghouls like Howard Stern and
00:18:42.960 Cardi B, they've really left us no choice.
00:18:46.220 Now, let's get to our five headlines.
00:18:55.100 When it comes to carrying your valuables or self-defense items in your vehicle, most people
00:18:59.060 feel that they have to choose between safety and convenience.
00:19:01.780 Someone breaking into your car typically is going to check the glove box under the seats,
00:19:05.940 under the center console.
00:19:07.540 Now, we can outsmart them with the headrest safe, which gives you convenience and peace of mind.
00:19:12.580 The headrest safe is exactly what it sounds like.
00:19:14.520 You can replace your standard headrest in your car with their easy-to-access safe.
00:19:18.920 To access the safe, you just pull the side part off and then you can either use your fingerprint,
00:19:22.780 use a key, or manually type in the code to open the safe.
00:19:25.880 There's no way that anyone could know your headrest safe is even there.
00:19:28.740 And even if they did, there's no way that they could get it open without using one of the three
00:19:31.920 methods to unlock it.
00:19:32.960 The headrest safe has a universal design that allows it to fit all vehicles.
00:19:36.740 The best part is these come in a variety of colors to match the interior of your car.
00:19:41.360 I have their black leather Vulcan headrest for my vehicle.
00:19:44.520 I love it.
00:19:44.960 Depending on the day, I'll put my self-defense items, cash, or medication in the safe.
00:19:49.340 It gives me peace of mind knowing that it will stay out of the hands of our kids, valets,
00:19:53.480 or intruders.

00:20:01.240 There's an article in The Guardian that I want to point out and begin with, and all we really
00:20:06.640 need is the headline.
00:20:09.160 The Guardian, panic and rash decision-making, ex-Budlight staff on one of the biggest boycotts
00:20:15.000 in U.S. history.
00:20:16.540 The article goes on to elaborate, says, when Anheuser-Busch InBev, the multinational beer
00:20:21.580 company, promoted Alyssa Heinerscheid to vice president of marketing for Bud Light in
00:20:25.680 July 2022, she became the first female VP in the beer's 40-year history.
00:20:31.800 It's just old white men, she says, one former employee of the company leadership.
00:20:35.800 That's why we were excited to at least have Alyssa in that role.
00:20:39.280 In a March 2023 interview with the lifestyle podcast Make Yourself at Home, Heinerscheid
00:20:42.960 spoke of her remit.
00:20:45.840 And we've played that clip before.
00:20:47.620 Alyssa Heinerscheid, that's the clip of the woke female Bud Light executive talking about
00:20:53.540 how they want to change the branding of Bud Light so it's not just associated with white
00:20:58.580 men and frat boys anymore, want to make it more diverse.
00:21:02.120 This was before the Dylan Mulvaney promotion happened.
00:21:10.500 Instead of ensuring a prosperous future for Bud Light, Heinerscheid's tenure was marked by
00:21:13.680 a sharp decline in sales and one of the biggest boycotts of a brand in U.S. history after a
00:21:18.080 minor social media partnership with Dylan Mulvaney was attacked by right-wing anti-trans groups.
00:21:23.540 Over the past month, the Guardian has spoken with insiders at Bud Light and the agency
00:21:27.360 the company contracted about what exactly happened and why the brand refused to back
00:21:31.540 Mulvaney during the backlash.
00:21:33.840 Former employees who wish to remain anonymous spoke of leadership incompetence and said
00:21:37.860 that executives were operating from a place of fear and were now vetting public comments
00:21:42.620 under the brand's Instagram post to remove any hint of negativity.
00:21:47.060 Anheuser-Busch did not respond to multiple requests for comments for this story.
00:21:50.140 It goes on from there, you know, we get the whole long story, we get the inside story from
00:21:54.660 these various ex-Bud Light employees who are very upset that the company from their perspective
00:21:58.740 caved to pressure from us right-wing bigots and it was just chaos and it was a disaster
00:22:05.620 behind the scenes and Bud Light bungled everything, every step of the way they say, which of course
00:22:10.100 they did.
00:22:10.560 I mean, that part of it is true.
00:22:11.520 But as I said, the most important aspect here can be seen just in the headline, one of the biggest
00:22:18.660 boycotts in U.S. history, which first of all, there's a real, there are a lot of lessons here that
00:22:26.200 can be learned, a lot of lessons that Bud Light learned the hard way.
00:22:31.300 You know, don't promote transgenderism is one of them.
00:22:33.540 Another one is, you know, as we hear, they were so excited.
00:22:37.800 We got the first female VP.
00:22:41.220 This is very exciting.
00:22:42.580 This diversity, we're embracing diversity.
00:22:46.620 I'm pretty much admitting that they hired her purely for that, purely to sort of check off
00:22:50.940 the demographic box.
00:22:52.600 And her whole job is to promote the brand, is to market the brand.
00:22:58.860 And then almost as soon as she, the first female in this position, almost as soon as she gets into
00:23:04.300 that position, the company tanks, is destroyed.
00:23:10.940 She is there to oversee and to engineer the worst drop in sales in the history of the company.
00:23:20.520 So that's what you get for your diversity initiatives.
00:23:25.600 But it's also interesting just to see the media finally acknowledging, you know, calling it one
00:23:29.580 of the biggest boycotts in U.S. history, the media is finally acknowledging that.
00:23:33.540 And you may remember that in the beginning, it was different.
00:23:37.420 It's not how it was.
00:23:38.420 They made fun of the boycott.
00:23:39.960 The left did, the media did.
00:23:41.900 They made fun of it as pathetic, toothless.
00:23:45.360 There was a lot of skepticism for a long time that the boycott was actually, you know,
00:23:49.460 there was skepticism that it would accomplish anything, skepticism from people on the left
00:23:55.420 and the right, saying that this isn't going to go anywhere.
00:24:00.880 But now even the hostile left-wing press admits that the boycott was historic, truly historic.
00:24:07.940 I mean, there are very few examples of a major brand suffering these kinds of losses due to an
00:24:14.220 organized boycott.
00:24:16.620 And I actually can't think of any other example, period.
00:24:20.820 I mean, we always talked about the Bud Light boycott being so significant because it was one
00:24:25.740 of the few examples of a conservative boycott being successful.
00:24:30.420 But it's actually one of the few examples of any boycott against a major brand being actually
00:24:35.100 successful.
00:24:35.660 The left generally has boycotted much more often, and they have the reputation of being
00:24:41.820 more effective at it.
00:24:43.240 And they are, you know, up until the Bud Light thing.
00:24:45.820 They typically will have the more effective boycotts.
00:24:48.540 Not saying much, right?
00:24:50.200 The bar is pretty low to be more effective.
00:24:52.800 But boycotting, whether you're on the left or the right, doesn't matter.
00:24:55.780 Boycotting a major, iconic American brand.
00:25:01.240 It's not even really American anymore because it's not owned by an American company.
00:25:03.480 But traditionally, you know, historically American brand, boycotting something like that, that
00:25:09.440 is a tall order.
00:25:10.940 And to actually make an impact is very, very difficult.
00:25:14.700 It rarely happens.
00:25:16.400 To go as far as we were able to go with the Bud Light boycott and just destroy the company
00:25:21.040 completely is an entirely different matter.
00:25:26.120 So I guess my point here is partly, partly it's, I told you so.
00:25:32.040 And, you know, I love to say I told you so.
00:25:33.800 And by you, I don't mean you, the audience.
00:25:35.300 I mean them, you know, the left, the media, even the skeptics on the right who said the Bud
00:25:41.100 Light boycott was a distraction, et cetera.
00:25:45.220 You know, and listen, people are allowed to be wrong about things.
00:25:47.340 I've been wrong about things in the past.
00:25:48.620 It may shock you to learn.
00:25:49.720 So you're allowed to be wrong.
00:25:50.540 But the people on the right, the conservatives who were kind of making fun of the Bud Light
00:25:57.320 boycott early on, this is going to do anything, this is stupid, this is a distraction, you're
00:25:59.960 not accomplishing anything.
00:26:01.320 Those people, okay, and there are some prominent ones, trying to discourage it, saying this is
00:26:09.140 not, we shouldn't even be doing this.
00:26:11.680 Those people on the right who said that.
00:26:14.320 Now, I know a few of them have come along afterwards and said, you know what, I got this
00:26:18.660 one wrong.
00:26:19.480 You guys were right.
00:26:20.660 The Bud Light boycott was great.
00:26:22.860 But the ones who haven't acknowledged that, then I think you should keep that in mind
00:26:25.620 because that is a major blow to their credibility.
00:26:30.020 But this is, we want to talk about impacts on the culture.
00:26:33.920 It's one of the most impactful things that the conservative movement has done in modern
00:26:39.740 history.
00:26:41.660 And if you're a conservative and you weren't on our team and helping with that, then that's
00:26:46.600 unfortunate.
00:26:47.120 If you were trying to dissuade us from doing it, that's even more unfortunate.
00:26:52.760 And if you still haven't admitted that, hey, I got that wrong, you guys were right, next
00:26:56.200 time I've learned my lesson, next time I'll be on board.
00:26:59.360 You know what, I've learned that actually, you know, the culture really does matter, obviously.
00:27:07.360 And being able to exercise power over a major American brand, you know, that's a big thing
00:27:15.700 that matters.
00:27:16.460 I've learned that.
00:27:17.040 So if someone acknowledges that, then that's one thing.
00:27:18.960 But I think some of them haven't.
00:27:21.520 But what I said at the time is that this was, and it is, it's like, it's an incredibly
00:27:27.300 significant moment in history.
00:27:30.380 It would actually, it will be in the history books.
00:27:32.720 Again, a major iconic national brand brought to its knees, destroyed, not just by a boycott,
00:27:39.540 but by a boycott from the side of the culture war that supposedly has no power and no purchase
00:27:46.960 and no sway.
00:27:48.900 A side that crucially believed, it itself believed that it had no power, certainly didn't have
00:27:56.100 this kind of power.
00:27:57.880 And so what makes it so incredibly significant, it's really, it's two things.
00:28:00.860 One, as I said all along, Bud Light, this is the, this is the, you know, the head on the
00:28:08.080 spike at the outskirts of town.
00:28:10.220 It's a warning to other brands.
00:28:12.320 This is what could happen to you.
00:28:15.280 Okay.
00:28:15.720 And if you're, if you are already in a vowed left-wing brand, you know, and this, and this
00:28:22.000 is what you do and people expect it and your, and your, your customers are mostly left-wingers
00:28:27.960 already, you could get away with it probably.
00:28:30.860 You know, if you're Ben and Jerry's or whatever, you can get away with it.
00:28:33.700 But if you're, if you're a mainstream brand, and especially if you're a brand that relies
00:28:37.500 on, you know, average Americans, conservatives, you need our business, then you better be
00:28:45.500 very careful.
00:28:46.480 You better tread very lightly.
00:28:50.420 You know, you might think you, but you, you, you've, you've, what you've learned in the
00:28:54.800 past is that, yeah, you can virtue signal a little bit.
00:28:58.320 You can throw a bone to the left and try to win some, some social credit points.
00:29:03.640 And it's not going to hurt you on this side because your customers, because we're not,
00:29:06.080 you know, we'll, we'll, we'll be forgiving of that.
00:29:08.080 Well, those days are over.
00:29:09.180 We're not going to be forgiving of it.
00:29:10.300 So that was the first thing that made it significant.
00:29:13.360 And, and we immediately saw the cascading kind of domino effect.
00:29:18.760 Of course, this happened right before pride month.
00:29:20.980 And then we get into pride month and then target happens and target gets a, it's kind of a,
00:29:27.660 not full bud light, but like a mini bud light treatment.
00:29:31.480 And a lot of other brands did become, it was not, you know, I think many people were expecting
00:29:35.440 pride month in 2023 to be just a total historic explosion of rainbows everywhere.
00:29:43.060 And it wasn't quite to the extent that many people were expecting.
00:29:46.200 And the left noticed that too.
00:29:47.960 And there are a lot of articles written about how
00:29:49.540 brands had a much more muted response this time around to pride month.
00:29:53.560 Why?
00:29:54.000 Because they're afraid because they saw what happened to bud light.
00:29:58.020 So that's the first thing that made it incredibly significant.
00:29:59.980 The other thing is because it, you know, it's the message that's sent to corporate America.
00:30:03.580 It's also the message that it sends to, to us, to the right.
00:30:08.060 That we actually have this kind of power.
00:30:09.980 We know we have the numbers.
00:30:12.240 We have numbers.
00:30:13.460 We know that there's millions of us.
00:30:16.860 And that, that means something.
00:30:20.800 We can use that to our advantage, but we have to use it.
00:30:24.540 We have to organize and actually use it.
00:30:28.700 So all great stuff.
00:30:30.420 Moving on to this, which is not so great.
00:30:32.280 Study Fine says the U.S. Constitution was a collaborative effort undertaken by many of
00:30:37.240 America's founding fathers.
00:30:38.280 James Madison played an especially crucial role in drafting the Supreme Law of the U.S.
00:30:42.140 And as such, is often referred to as the father of the Constitution.
00:30:45.140 One cannot but wonder what President Madison would think about the results of a new survey
00:30:48.300 by the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania.
00:30:52.540 In short, the poll suggests a troubling number of Americans are incredibly uninformed
00:30:56.160 when it comes to their own constitutional rights.
00:30:58.980 Imagine that.
00:31:00.480 Even worse, the 2023 Annenberg Constitution Day Civic Survey,
00:31:04.140 an annual poll released every Constitution Day, which is September 17th,
00:31:07.940 also found that a significant number of Americans can't even name the three branches of government.
00:31:13.060 More specifically, while two-thirds of Americans, 66%, can name the three branches,
00:31:18.800 10% can only list two.
00:31:20.540 Another 7% can only name one.
00:31:22.000 And an astounding 17% cannot name a single branch of the U.S. government.
00:31:29.560 These are people who have never heard of, like, the legislative branch of government.
00:31:34.700 You can tell them about the legislative branch,
00:31:36.660 and they're going to think you're talking about an actual type of tree.
00:31:39.260 Meanwhile, when respondents were asked to name all of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment
00:31:44.760 to the Constitution, most Americans, 77%, could only name one, the freedom of speech.
00:31:50.100 This latest version of the survey was put together during an especially turbulent year in America
00:31:54.000 filled with high-profile events that brought the inner workings of the U.S. government
00:31:56.600 into the news cycle on a daily basis, blah, blah, et cetera, et cetera.
00:32:00.840 We don't care about that.
00:32:01.640 Besides freedom of speech, 77% being the most widely remembered right guaranteed by the First Amendment,
00:32:07.040 another 40% of Americans were able to name freedom of religion.
00:32:10.400 33% could name the right to assembly.
00:32:13.620 And 28% remembered freedom of the press.
00:32:16.620 And a meager 9% recalled the right to petition the government.
00:32:20.320 In total, just 5% of U.S. adults could correctly cite all five First Amendment rights.
00:32:26.480 And 30% named three of the four.
00:32:28.380 Just under half named one or two First Amendment rights.
00:32:32.540 And 20% could not name a single right.
00:32:34.720 20% of Americans, according to this, could not name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
00:32:41.720 So they didn't even know free speech.
00:32:43.460 The association between free speech and the First Amendment was unknown to 20% of Americans.
00:32:50.940 Which sounds kind of amazing.
00:32:52.360 If you are a vaguely informed person, then that sounds amazing.
00:32:59.540 That there are people, like, if it's 20%, millions, adults that you could walk up to and say, you know,
00:33:06.700 First Amendment rights, and they won't even know what you're referring to.
00:33:09.480 They don't know what that is.
00:33:10.380 Interestingly, over one in five Americans responded to that question by listing the right to bear arms.
00:33:17.500 Which is a right granted under the Second Amendment, not the first.
00:33:22.300 And so, it goes out there.
00:33:24.200 You know, we see these kinds of studies and surveys all the time.
00:33:27.800 And it's easy to overlook it.
00:33:30.840 And to say, well, yeah, we already know that.
00:33:32.600 Well, we already know that.
00:33:33.880 Of course.
00:33:34.520 It's not a surprise.
00:33:36.080 And I guess we do already know it.
00:33:38.120 But I fear that because we're so accustomed to this, and we see the surveys, and, you know,
00:33:43.540 Americans don't know anything about the history of their own country.
00:33:47.460 They don't know anything about how their government works or is supposed to work.
00:33:49.860 They don't know anything about anything.
00:33:51.240 And we see all the surveys.
00:33:52.220 We see the dumb guy on the street interviews that are all over YouTube and the late night shows and everything.
00:33:57.780 And we're so accustomed to it that although we realize this is the case,
00:34:04.060 we don't really understand how significant it is and what a problem it is, you know,
00:34:12.800 because we've grown so accustomed to it, we don't stop to think about it.
00:34:16.680 We don't stop to think about the fact that this is a civilizational crisis that we are dealing with.
00:34:24.420 When you've got a country filled with millions of adults who don't know anything, who are totally oblivious.
00:34:35.120 And yet those same adults have the power to direct the future of our country.
00:34:43.620 And when it comes to voting, they have the same power that you do.
00:34:49.340 Their vote counts equal to yours.
00:34:52.440 I mean, the first takeaway always with this kind of thing,
00:34:56.220 the first takeaway is always, or it should be, that the education system in America is completely broken.
00:35:03.720 And it's actually amazing to me that anytime this comes up, very often the education system gets let off the hook.
00:35:13.640 And when we talk about problems in the education system, and yeah,
00:35:17.140 conversations about the problems in the education system come up a lot.
00:35:21.220 But somehow we often miss the biggest problem,
00:35:24.460 which is that the education system is just simply failing to educate people.
00:35:28.860 It's not doing the job.
00:35:31.480 It's not working.
00:35:34.660 Okay, when you can have millions of people who can go through
00:35:38.180 really 13 years of formal grade school education from K through 12,
00:35:44.340 and they're going into a building that is called a school where they're supposed to be educated.
00:35:48.400 That's what they're there for.
00:35:49.660 And they're there for six hours a day, okay?
00:35:55.200 And they go there.
00:35:56.200 And they come out, and then many of them go to another four years
00:36:00.100 of additional education, okay?
00:36:05.020 And now we're talking about 16 or 17 years.
00:36:08.560 Think about that.
00:36:09.740 16 or 17 years of formal education.
00:36:15.240 And yet many of these people are coming out on the other end of that
00:36:18.600 knowing basically nothing about the world,
00:36:23.340 about their country, about themselves.
00:36:28.120 If anything, coming out more confused about everything than they were going in.
00:36:33.140 And it's incredible that we can all be witnessing this happening,
00:36:36.560 and we all know that it's happening,
00:36:37.880 and we're not having any kind of serious conversation
00:36:41.080 about the utter failure of the education system
00:36:43.220 and the fact that it needs to be torn down
00:36:50.540 and rebuilt fundamentally from the ground up.
00:36:54.040 It is completely, there's no saving it, okay?
00:36:56.080 This is one of the, this is like a home that you look at.
00:36:58.840 There are some homes you look at, you could say,
00:37:00.020 well, this is a rehab job.
00:37:01.400 You could do a little remodeling,
00:37:03.060 you know, remodel the kitchen, maybe put an addition on.
00:37:05.200 And there are other houses that you look at,
00:37:06.500 and you say, that's a teardown.
00:37:07.740 You cannot salvage it.
00:37:08.900 It's very foundations are rotted away.
00:37:12.220 There's nothing you can do.
00:37:13.760 You got to tear it down completely.
00:37:15.640 And that's where we are with the education system.
00:37:20.420 And there's just, there's no getting around that at this point.
00:37:24.480 So that's one conversation that we should be having.
00:37:26.400 And the other conversation that we should be having,
00:37:28.020 but we're not,
00:37:30.200 is that, is that hopping up on my old,
00:37:34.920 on this hobby horse for me,
00:37:36.240 that these people should not be allowed to vote.
00:37:38.560 I mean, you hear people say that in a half-joking way.
00:37:41.580 Oh, I can't believe these people can vote.
00:37:44.900 But really, they shouldn't be able to.
00:37:47.060 Like, actually, they should not be able to vote.
00:37:50.900 That should be something that we,
00:37:53.460 that becomes a serious topic of conversation.
00:37:57.260 Okay, like the kind of thing that comes up
00:37:58.640 on presidential debates.
00:38:02.080 Okay, like an issue that political parties
00:38:04.540 have to deal with in their platforms.
00:38:06.160 We should really be talking about this.
00:38:10.380 That there are a lot of people who are voting in this country
00:38:12.920 who should not have that right.
00:38:15.780 They don't deserve it.
00:38:18.660 And as I've tried to explain many times,
00:38:21.960 the right to vote,
00:38:22.720 it is not a God-given right
00:38:25.120 guaranteed to everybody,
00:38:27.060 regardless of anything.
00:38:28.840 It's not.
00:38:30.680 Okay, it's not fundamental to your human nature
00:38:34.420 that you automatically are entitled
00:38:36.740 to have a say
00:38:38.860 over the,
00:38:40.520 you know, political system in your country.
00:38:44.480 It's not.
00:38:45.260 There are some basic guidelines
00:38:48.440 that should be in place.
00:38:49.360 You should have to earn that right.
00:38:52.020 Not everybody should have it.
00:38:54.080 And it is so incredibly obvious
00:38:55.920 that if you are an absolute oblivious moron
00:39:01.300 who knows nothing
00:39:03.500 about your own country
00:39:05.760 or the political,
00:39:08.740 or the government
00:39:10.720 that runs it,
00:39:14.600 then you shouldn't have any say over it.
00:39:18.320 It's not just that you shouldn't be able to vote.
00:39:20.120 It's that you can't vote, really.
00:39:22.140 Your vote is not really a vote.
00:39:23.860 It's just random.
00:39:25.140 You're throwing a dart at a board.
00:39:27.540 You're rolling dice.
00:39:28.760 It's not anything.
00:39:30.880 Voting is going in
00:39:32.120 and you understand the issues
00:39:33.120 and you're making an informed choice.
00:39:34.540 It might be the wrong choice,
00:39:35.340 but you're making an informed choice
00:39:36.840 about what you want,
00:39:37.760 what you want the future of the country
00:39:38.680 to look like,
00:39:39.460 and you understand the issues.
00:39:40.540 And that's what a vote is.
00:39:44.020 But walking in there randomly
00:39:45.820 and saying,
00:39:46.180 well, I don't know.
00:39:47.320 That's not voting.
00:39:49.880 And yet this is how we determine
00:39:52.220 the future of the country.
00:39:55.480 And we all stand back
00:39:57.400 like we're impotent to stop it.
00:39:59.340 We've all decided that,
00:40:00.320 well, yeah,
00:40:00.820 we just have to let absolute,
00:40:03.340 total,
00:40:03.800 brain-dead morons
00:40:06.600 determine the future of the country.
00:40:07.800 What can we do about it?
00:40:08.620 We can't do anything about it.
00:40:10.200 Yep,
00:40:10.460 we're just going to let them,
00:40:10.920 we're going to let them drive us
00:40:12.360 right off a cliff.
00:40:15.840 That's our decision.
00:40:16.680 There are things that can be done about it
00:40:18.100 if we have the will to do it.
00:40:21.980 Let's see,
00:40:22.500 what else do we got here?
00:40:24.800 This is an interesting story
00:40:26.180 I've seen for a few days.
00:40:27.260 I've had it on deck.
00:40:28.040 Comedian Hassan Minaj
00:40:31.600 is the latest celebrity
00:40:32.640 to fabricate his experiences
00:40:34.140 with racism in the U.S.
00:40:35.360 This is from Outkick,
00:40:36.200 by the way.
00:40:37.460 A profile in the New Yorker
00:40:38.540 by Claire Malone says,
00:40:40.660 in Minaj's approach to comedy,
00:40:42.380 he leans heavily
00:40:42.980 on his own experience
00:40:43.900 as an Asian American
00:40:44.800 and Muslim American,
00:40:45.840 telling harrowing stories
00:40:46.860 of law enforcement entrapment
00:40:48.060 and personal threats.
00:40:49.540 For many of his fans,
00:40:50.400 he's become an avatar
00:40:51.200 for the power of representation
00:40:52.460 in entertainment.
00:40:54.340 But after many weeks of trying,
00:40:55.780 I had been unable to confirm
00:40:56.920 some of the stories
00:40:57.660 that he had told on stage.
00:40:59.460 When the author confronted him,
00:41:00.860 Minaj admitted the stories
00:41:02.040 he tells on stage
00:41:02.760 are often exaggerated
00:41:03.940 or made up.
00:41:05.220 However, Minaj suggests
00:41:06.200 that there's no harm
00:41:06.920 in his lying about racism
00:41:08.000 because he's a comedian.
00:41:10.400 He said,
00:41:11.200 quote,
00:41:11.520 every story in my style
00:41:12.700 is built around a seed of truth.
00:41:14.680 My comedy Arnold Palmer
00:41:17.080 is 70% emotional truth,
00:41:19.340 this happened,
00:41:19.880 and then 30% hyperbole,
00:41:22.000 exaggeration, fiction.
00:41:23.760 Specifically,
00:41:24.200 Minaj references a story
00:41:25.220 he fabricated
00:41:25.820 in which an undercover FBI
00:41:26.920 agent investigated his mosque.
00:41:29.980 He tells the New York,
00:41:31.000 the punchline is worth
00:41:31.800 the fictionalized premise.
00:41:33.980 And there are many other
00:41:34.920 examples of this
00:41:35.740 that,
00:41:36.240 and you can read,
00:41:36.780 I read,
00:41:37.220 actually,
00:41:37.960 I don't often read
00:41:38.740 articles by this publication,
00:41:41.320 but I read
00:41:41.680 The New Yorker,
00:41:42.980 but I read the whole article,
00:41:44.080 and it's interesting
00:41:45.280 to go through.
00:41:46.100 They go through,
00:41:46.640 it's not just like
00:41:47.720 Hasan Minhaj,
00:41:49.300 this comedian,
00:41:50.340 it's not just one or two stories
00:41:53.480 that he's made up
00:41:54.560 in his act.
00:41:55.820 It's like his entire act,
00:41:57.040 I mean,
00:41:57.160 his whole thing,
00:41:58.060 many,
00:41:58.720 many,
00:41:58.940 many stories,
00:42:00.180 including,
00:42:01.080 and they go into details
00:42:01.820 about this,
00:42:02.900 stories that he's told
00:42:04.060 on stage involving
00:42:04.840 real people
00:42:05.580 in his life
00:42:07.060 that he's known,
00:42:08.120 and he's made up
00:42:09.420 these terrible things
00:42:10.540 that they've done
00:42:10.960 and said
00:42:11.300 that are not true.
00:42:12.020 Now,
00:42:15.040 there's some people
00:42:17.840 that have tried
00:42:18.180 to defend this
00:42:19.100 as Hasan,
00:42:20.300 not many,
00:42:21.280 but there are some
00:42:21.620 who have tried
00:42:21.900 to defend it
00:42:22.420 as Hasan Minhaj
00:42:23.680 has done himself
00:42:24.420 by saying,
00:42:25.540 well,
00:42:25.580 this is,
00:42:25.860 we're comedians,
00:42:26.540 we make up stories.
00:42:28.500 Now,
00:42:29.160 there's a context
00:42:31.180 where making up
00:42:32.380 a story as a comedian
00:42:33.240 can be acceptable.
00:42:34.740 So,
00:42:34.960 for example,
00:42:35.880 the classic
00:42:36.840 cliché thing,
00:42:37.860 you go to a comedy club
00:42:38.860 and the comedian
00:42:40.800 gets up there
00:42:41.420 and says,
00:42:42.220 oh man,
00:42:43.040 you ever been on an airplane
00:42:43.940 these days?
00:42:44.540 They're flying in today
00:42:46.160 and then they tell
00:42:47.100 some story about
00:42:47.900 something that happened
00:42:48.780 on the airplane
00:42:49.240 that annoys them
00:42:49.920 when they were flying in
00:42:51.140 that morning.
00:42:52.820 But of course,
00:42:53.160 we all know
00:42:53.760 that if that thing
00:42:54.940 that they encountered
00:42:55.540 on the airplane
00:42:55.940 happened at all,
00:42:56.620 it didn't happen
00:42:57.040 that morning
00:42:57.480 because this is
00:42:57.960 in their act
00:42:58.560 that they've written
00:42:59.020 ahead of time
00:42:59.600 and maybe whatever
00:43:01.980 the thing happened
00:43:02.560 on the airplane,
00:43:03.640 maybe that exact thing
00:43:04.700 never happened to them.
00:43:06.300 But the point is,
00:43:06.940 it's just,
00:43:07.420 it's like,
00:43:08.000 it's a universal
00:43:09.120 human experience
00:43:09.980 and this is when
00:43:10.700 it's legitimate
00:43:11.300 for comedians
00:43:12.380 to make up a story
00:43:12.980 and it's also
00:43:13.580 when everyone knows
00:43:14.280 that the story
00:43:14.740 is made,
00:43:15.640 so there's no
00:43:16.220 deception going on.
00:43:17.340 Everyone kind of
00:43:17.720 understands what's happening.
00:43:19.320 So when they kind of,
00:43:20.380 they want to make
00:43:21.240 an observation
00:43:21.860 or make a joke
00:43:22.500 about a universal
00:43:23.140 human experience
00:43:23.860 like someone doing
00:43:24.620 something annoying
00:43:25.160 on an airplane
00:43:25.720 but it's funnier
00:43:28.860 to frame it
00:43:29.780 in a way
00:43:30.280 to sort of like
00:43:30.820 put themselves
00:43:31.560 in that situation
00:43:33.080 and they're observing it
00:43:35.140 and making jokes
00:43:37.940 about it.
00:43:40.720 So even if it's
00:43:41.540 a situation
00:43:42.000 where they haven't
00:43:42.580 been in that exact
00:43:43.740 situation
00:43:44.280 but it's like
00:43:45.040 the kind of situation
00:43:46.100 we're all familiar with,
00:43:47.460 we've all seen,
00:43:48.060 we all know
00:43:48.380 what they're talking about
00:43:48.980 and then from there
00:43:50.080 that's the setup
00:43:50.780 to get into the joke.
00:43:51.660 And again,
00:43:51.980 everybody knows,
00:43:53.840 understands that
00:43:54.480 about comedians
00:43:54.980 and comedians do this.
00:43:56.820 But this Hasan Minhaj guy,
00:43:59.840 that's not what he's doing.
00:44:02.320 These are not punchlines
00:44:03.660 that he's setting up
00:44:04.420 about airplanes
00:44:05.080 and universal human experiences.
00:44:08.060 These are like
00:44:08.520 very specific
00:44:09.780 personal stories
00:44:11.780 of him being victimized.
00:44:14.080 There's not even
00:44:14.600 a punchline.
00:44:15.440 There's nothing funny
00:44:16.300 that's happening here.
00:44:17.740 It's just one long complaint.
00:44:22.160 One long story
00:44:23.480 of victimization.
00:44:25.580 And when you're making
00:44:26.500 that up,
00:44:27.720 well then,
00:44:28.540 that just makes you
00:44:29.420 a liar.
00:44:30.000 That just makes you
00:44:30.600 comedy's Jussie Smollett.
00:44:34.160 That's all that makes you.
00:44:35.880 That's called a hoax.
00:44:37.460 That's not a joke.
00:44:38.380 That's a hoax.
00:44:40.060 And so that's all
00:44:40.560 this guy has done
00:44:41.260 is just his whole act
00:44:42.300 is hoaxes.
00:44:43.980 Which also shows you
00:44:45.980 what comedy has become.
00:44:49.400 I haven't seen
00:44:50.060 very much of this guy's act.
00:44:51.060 I think a few times
00:44:51.660 he had a show.
00:44:52.280 It was on Showtime,
00:44:53.080 I think,
00:44:53.500 Patriot Act.
00:44:54.680 So he's been around.
00:44:56.720 He's kind of like
00:44:57.200 the Trevor Noah
00:44:58.120 kind of figure
00:44:58.900 that he's not funny.
00:45:01.180 He's never said
00:45:01.680 anything funny.
00:45:02.340 He's never made
00:45:02.640 anybody laugh ever.
00:45:04.200 But the media loves him.
00:45:05.760 They did love him anyway.
00:45:06.720 They can't love him
00:45:07.160 as much now
00:45:07.640 because he's been
00:45:08.500 exposed as a liar.
00:45:09.560 But up until this,
00:45:10.300 they did.
00:45:11.080 And so they keep
00:45:11.620 finding things for him
00:45:12.560 to do and it never works
00:45:13.800 and it's always bad
00:45:14.560 and it always gives
00:45:15.020 bad ratings.
00:45:15.420 So I've seen him
00:45:16.960 around in that context.
00:45:21.820 And this is largely
00:45:23.180 what comedy has become
00:45:24.880 where there's no joke.
00:45:28.520 Political humor
00:45:29.280 is one thing.
00:45:30.660 Political humor
00:45:31.080 is fine.
00:45:32.100 If you want to tell
00:45:32.920 a joke from a
00:45:33.820 left-wing perspective,
00:45:35.200 that's fine too.
00:45:36.320 If that's your perspective,
00:45:37.040 you're a left-wing person,
00:45:37.820 you're telling a joke
00:45:38.300 like that,
00:45:38.700 then that's fine.
00:45:40.720 But there's no joke
00:45:41.940 at all.
00:45:42.360 It's just complaining
00:45:45.180 about the country
00:45:46.220 and then putting yourself,
00:45:47.860 making yourself the victim
00:45:48.660 and that's the humor now.
00:45:50.500 Quite hilarious.
00:45:52.500 Let's get to the
00:45:53.500 was Walsh wrong.
00:45:58.380 A few comments here.
00:45:59.520 This one says,
00:46:00.280 Matt has clearly led
00:46:01.240 a charmed existence
00:46:02.380 and had parents
00:46:03.100 who cared about him.
00:46:04.220 My problem with him
00:46:04.920 is he seems to lack
00:46:05.800 compassion and understanding.
00:46:07.640 He assumes that everybody
00:46:08.500 had the same family life
00:46:09.800 as a child
00:46:10.800 that he did.
00:46:13.240 It's kind of sad
00:46:14.340 if simply having parents
00:46:15.760 who care about you
00:46:16.640 counts as having
00:46:17.320 a charmed existence.
00:46:19.160 If that now
00:46:20.300 is some great privilege,
00:46:22.360 you were privileged,
00:46:23.140 your parents cared about you.
00:46:25.540 That's a sad statement
00:46:26.660 about society.
00:46:28.000 I don't deny
00:46:28.440 that that's true though.
00:46:29.400 That is a privilege now.
00:46:30.940 And I did have parents
00:46:31.880 who cared about me.
00:46:33.120 But that should
00:46:34.120 just sort of like be,
00:46:35.060 that should be a given
00:46:37.140 for most people.
00:46:38.020 And it says something
00:46:40.140 about society
00:46:40.860 when that becomes
00:46:41.740 a great privilege.
00:46:42.640 Your parents stayed married
00:46:45.180 and they actually
00:46:47.880 cared about you.
00:46:50.520 But this is all
00:46:51.900 also completely irrelevant
00:46:53.320 because this is
00:46:53.980 a thing that people,
00:46:56.640 I'm not even sure
00:46:57.500 what this was in reference to.
00:46:59.720 It was in reference
00:47:00.060 to some point that I made.
00:47:01.220 But it doesn't matter
00:47:01.880 because it's got nothing
00:47:02.720 to do with any point
00:47:03.740 that I can make.
00:47:04.280 So I make a point
00:47:06.180 and you disagree
00:47:07.960 with that point, I guess.
00:47:08.860 And rather than
00:47:09.540 making an argument
00:47:10.540 to try to debunk my point,
00:47:13.160 you say that
00:47:14.680 I led a privileged life,
00:47:16.800 which true or not
00:47:18.120 is irrelevant.
00:47:20.580 Maybe I led
00:47:21.000 the most privileged life
00:47:21.840 in the world.
00:47:23.820 Does that automatically
00:47:24.600 make me wrong
00:47:25.320 about anything
00:47:25.840 that I've said?
00:47:26.420 Does that call into question
00:47:27.460 any perspective
00:47:29.320 that I could possibly have
00:47:30.660 on any issue?
00:47:31.520 I don't really see it.
00:47:32.560 The Political Palm says,
00:47:36.640 why does a married dude
00:47:37.520 with six kids
00:47:38.240 comment so much
00:47:39.140 on single women's
00:47:40.120 sex lives?
00:47:42.220 That was obviously
00:47:42.720 in reference to our discussion
00:47:43.560 about body counts.
00:47:46.480 And yeah,
00:47:46.720 it is a mystery,
00:47:47.620 I have to say.
00:47:48.420 It's quite a mysterious thing.
00:47:51.160 We really have to scratch
00:47:51.900 our heads
00:47:52.200 and wonder about that.
00:47:54.580 Why would I,
00:47:56.080 as a married man
00:47:57.500 with six kids,
00:47:58.920 why would I care
00:48:00.240 about society?
00:48:02.560 really great question.
00:48:06.080 I don't know,
00:48:06.420 very curious,
00:48:07.040 isn't it?
00:48:07.360 Very curious.
00:48:09.740 Hey, look at you
00:48:10.300 over there
00:48:10.600 with your family.
00:48:11.620 What do you care
00:48:12.180 about society for?
00:48:14.060 How does society
00:48:15.060 affect you?
00:48:17.000 This is,
00:48:17.780 this is basically
00:48:19.760 the argument
00:48:20.260 that you get.
00:48:21.400 This is probably
00:48:21.980 the most common argument
00:48:22.880 on the internet
00:48:24.020 these days.
00:48:25.200 How does society
00:48:25.980 affect you anyway?
00:48:27.900 It's just society.
00:48:29.440 It's just,
00:48:29.900 it's just the society
00:48:31.000 that you're living in
00:48:31.920 and that your children
00:48:34.040 will inherit.
00:48:35.020 Why do you care
00:48:35.800 about that?
00:48:38.580 I don't know.
00:48:39.480 Yeah,
00:48:39.740 it's,
00:48:40.020 I guess I'm crazy.
00:48:41.120 You know what?
00:48:41.520 It's because I'm insane.
00:48:42.440 I'm an insane person.
00:48:43.220 That's why.
00:48:43.660 That's why I care
00:48:44.140 about society.
00:48:45.180 I must be crazy.
00:48:46.480 Finally,
00:48:48.760 Cis Siberian Orchestra
00:48:50.000 says,
00:48:50.920 Matt Walsh is the
00:48:51.660 modern day equivalent
00:48:52.460 of those old church ladies
00:48:53.840 in the 1980s
00:48:54.720 who thought that
00:48:55.420 heavy metal music
00:48:56.080 and Dungeons and Dragons
00:48:57.120 were causing the downfall
00:48:58.180 of society.
00:48:59.400 These comments
00:49:00.040 are also interesting to me
00:49:01.060 because,
00:49:02.400 now,
00:49:02.820 I don't know about
00:49:03.440 Dungeons and Dragons.
00:49:04.800 I'm not even sure
00:49:05.280 what the criticism was
00:49:06.320 of Dungeons and Dragons.
00:49:07.580 I barely even know
00:49:08.520 what it is.
00:49:09.020 I've,
00:49:09.440 I've been aware
00:49:11.220 of that thing
00:49:12.060 my entire life,
00:49:12.940 that Dungeons and Dragons
00:49:13.840 is kind of associated
00:49:14.620 with nerds.
00:49:15.420 I guess it's a board game,
00:49:16.920 I assume,
00:49:17.260 or is it a video game?
00:49:17.980 I honestly don't even know.
00:49:20.560 Or is it a,
00:49:21.160 yeah,
00:49:21.840 it's a board game,
00:49:22.320 right?
00:49:23.140 I don't know.
00:49:24.060 So I don't know what,
00:49:25.460 it's a role playing game
00:49:26.320 on a board game
00:49:27.600 or is it cards?
00:49:30.360 It's cards.
00:49:31.260 Okay.
00:49:32.600 Cards and dice
00:49:33.360 and it's role playing.
00:49:35.940 How do you do
00:49:36.500 a role playing game
00:49:37.200 with cards?
00:49:38.460 It doesn't matter.
00:49:39.880 Okay.
00:49:41.400 I don't know.
00:49:44.600 So I don't know
00:49:45.160 what the criticism
00:49:45.560 of that was,
00:49:46.340 but generally,
00:49:47.940 I always love it
00:49:49.240 when I hear this
00:49:50.020 from people that,
00:49:51.440 oh,
00:49:51.760 you're just like
00:49:52.660 the church ladies
00:49:53.620 from the 80s and 90s.
00:49:55.640 You're just like them.
00:49:57.440 Oh,
00:49:57.740 you mean,
00:49:58.220 so I'm just like
00:49:58.900 the people who
00:49:59.420 are right about everything?
00:50:00.720 Is that what you're saying?
00:50:02.340 I'm just like those people
00:50:03.520 who have been
00:50:03.960 entirely vindicated
00:50:05.100 on every imaginable point?
00:50:08.160 Okay.
00:50:08.620 You go back to,
00:50:09.720 this is kind of a broad group
00:50:10.920 with a broad brush strokes here,
00:50:13.040 but the old church ladies,
00:50:15.040 you go back
00:50:15.460 to the things
00:50:17.320 they were worried about
00:50:17.900 and the things
00:50:18.220 that they were saying
00:50:18.740 about the state
00:50:19.200 of the culture
00:50:19.860 at the time
00:50:20.340 and where things
00:50:21.220 were headed
00:50:21.600 and what you find
00:50:23.960 is that they were
00:50:24.460 100% correct.
00:50:27.140 You know,
00:50:28.220 I was a kid
00:50:30.380 back in the era
00:50:31.140 of the 80s
00:50:32.140 and 90s church ladies,
00:50:33.560 old church ladies.
00:50:34.580 I will say
00:50:35.040 that my grandmother,
00:50:37.060 who's passed away
00:50:37.980 years ago now,
00:50:38.600 but she was really
00:50:40.640 like one of your
00:50:41.520 classic 90s church ladies
00:50:44.120 and in that she went
00:50:46.280 to church all the time.
00:50:47.580 She was very religious
00:50:48.060 and she also had,
00:50:49.900 she was very sort of strict
00:50:51.280 and she was very critical
00:50:53.760 of modern culture
00:50:55.000 and I remember
00:50:55.940 that she would do things
00:50:56.740 like she would see things
00:50:58.980 in Disney movies
00:50:59.660 and she'd be upset about it
00:51:01.300 and she would write
00:51:01.880 like a letter,
00:51:03.080 you know,
00:51:03.320 the classical church lady
00:51:04.640 approach,
00:51:05.460 she would write a letter
00:51:06.100 to Disney
00:51:07.380 complaining about
00:51:08.360 whatever she saw
00:51:08.940 in the film.
00:51:10.280 But I think back
00:51:10.920 to that now
00:51:11.300 and I was like,
00:51:11.700 well,
00:51:12.060 at the time,
00:51:12.820 you know,
00:51:13.040 my grandmother saw
00:51:14.160 something in a Disney movie
00:51:14.980 and thought that it was
00:51:16.280 inappropriate or was wrong.
00:51:17.900 Well,
00:51:18.760 it's almost as though
00:51:19.700 she noticed things.
00:51:21.020 So now we look at Disney today
00:51:22.220 and we all agree,
00:51:23.980 especially if you're on the right,
00:51:25.040 Disney's super uber woke.
00:51:28.020 It's like the church ladies
00:51:29.300 of the 80s and 90s,
00:51:30.040 they noticed even that.
00:51:31.500 They saw that coming
00:51:32.220 down the pike.
00:51:34.920 Everybody else
00:51:35.480 is caught off guard by it.
00:51:36.600 You know,
00:51:37.120 everyone else,
00:51:38.460 we look around
00:51:39.440 at the state
00:51:40.020 of the culture today.
00:51:41.440 Well,
00:51:41.540 not we,
00:51:41.880 but many people
00:51:42.600 look around
00:51:43.100 at the state
00:51:43.620 of the culture today
00:51:44.360 and act shocked by it
00:51:46.820 as if the culture
00:51:47.520 just fell out of the sky
00:51:49.700 one day,
00:51:50.460 three years ago.
00:51:52.100 But it didn't.
00:51:54.680 The culture today
00:51:55.820 comes from the culture
00:51:57.560 of yesterday
00:51:58.020 and you trace it
00:51:58.860 back and back and back.
00:51:59.580 So I think
00:52:02.260 the church ladies
00:52:02.960 when they saw,
00:52:04.400 for example,
00:52:05.940 when it comes to the music,
00:52:07.740 the old church ladies,
00:52:09.040 they didn't like the music
00:52:10.040 of the 80s and 90s.
00:52:12.240 Why didn't they like
00:52:13.060 the music?
00:52:14.320 Well,
00:52:14.840 they noticed
00:52:16.540 that the music,
00:52:18.460 even back then,
00:52:19.720 popular music
00:52:20.720 largely
00:52:21.520 was a celebration
00:52:23.400 of vice
00:52:24.340 and stupidity.
00:52:26.000 Music was largely
00:52:26.960 just people bragging
00:52:28.000 about being dumb,
00:52:29.920 hedonistic scumbags.
00:52:31.300 That's what music was,
00:52:31.960 even in the 80s and 90s.
00:52:34.560 And I think
00:52:35.240 the old church ladies
00:52:35.840 said,
00:52:36.020 well,
00:52:36.060 that's not good.
00:52:37.140 That's actually
00:52:37.520 not a good thing.
00:52:38.280 I don't think
00:52:38.680 it's good for that.
00:52:39.640 It's not a positive development.
00:52:41.640 And they also realized
00:52:42.460 that for most
00:52:43.580 of human history,
00:52:44.280 music was not that.
00:52:45.180 Music was actually
00:52:45.700 a celebration of beauty.
00:52:47.700 Music was supposed to be,
00:52:48.700 any art was supposed
00:52:49.280 to be about what's beautiful
00:52:50.100 and true and good.
00:52:51.740 Like music is supposed
00:52:52.500 to be a celebration
00:52:53.080 of goodness.
00:52:55.320 And then something happened
00:52:56.540 and it's not that anymore.
00:52:57.440 Every single song you hear,
00:52:58.620 it's just,
00:52:58.900 it's just an,
00:52:59.320 it's an absolute
00:53:00.140 hedonistic scumbag
00:53:01.660 bragging about that fact.
00:53:04.620 And I think
00:53:05.160 the church ladies
00:53:05.800 saw that and said,
00:53:06.840 well,
00:53:07.020 that's bad.
00:53:08.820 And they said,
00:53:09.600 you know,
00:53:09.800 if we accept this,
00:53:11.220 then it's only
00:53:11.820 going to get worse.
00:53:13.520 And now we look around today
00:53:14.780 and we see,
00:53:15.340 you know,
00:53:15.660 WAP or whatever.
00:53:16.900 And again,
00:53:17.860 the really oblivious people
00:53:19.120 act like a song
00:53:20.520 like WAP fell out of the sky
00:53:21.680 out of nowhere.
00:53:22.800 It didn't.
00:53:23.980 You could go,
00:53:24.500 you could go back
00:53:25.120 to popular songs
00:53:26.120 in the 80s and 90s
00:53:26.740 and find a direct,
00:53:27.540 there's a direct line,
00:53:28.380 there's a direct lineage
00:53:29.340 or one that,
00:53:31.420 that led to that.
00:53:34.020 So all that to say,
00:53:35.160 I thank you
00:53:36.260 for that flattering comparison.
00:53:38.380 Things continue to heat up
00:53:39.480 with the new
00:53:39.880 Daily Wire Plus series
00:53:40.780 Convicting a Murderer.
00:53:41.940 Apparently Stephen Avery
00:53:42.660 is directing his fans
00:53:43.940 from behind bars
00:53:45.420 to flood Rotten Tomatoes
00:53:46.600 and give Convicting a Murderer
00:53:47.740 a bad review,
00:53:48.580 which is just weird.
00:53:50.340 He and his Facebook group,
00:53:51.560 Stephen Avery is Innocent,
00:53:53.100 are even referring
00:53:53.800 to Convicting a Murderer
00:53:54.620 as garbage,
00:53:55.800 as if the opinion
00:53:56.580 of a convicted murderer
00:53:57.660 is one that has
00:53:58.440 any value whatsoever
00:53:59.240 to anyone.
00:54:00.180 Nevertheless,
00:54:00.660 it seems we have made
00:54:01.620 Stephen Avery and his fans
00:54:02.840 very angry,
00:54:03.900 which means the series
00:54:04.840 is doing its job
00:54:05.720 and we're about to double down
00:54:06.860 with episode five.
00:54:08.080 Take a look.
00:54:09.340 Coming up
00:54:10.000 on Convicting a Murderer.
00:54:11.940 Well, you think
00:54:12.520 that the sheriff's department
00:54:13.680 is framing you
00:54:14.380 because of the lawsuit,
00:54:15.700 right?
00:54:16.200 That's what I think.
00:54:17.060 Okay.
00:54:18.100 James Lank,
00:54:19.000 Andy Colburn,
00:54:20.060 they were involved
00:54:20.620 in the old case
00:54:21.380 and here they are again
00:54:22.280 in this new case.
00:54:23.700 Stephen Avery was released
00:54:24.580 from prison
00:54:24.940 after being wrongfully convicted.
00:54:26.460 Avery's attorneys
00:54:27.200 say those hardships
00:54:28.220 are worth $36 million.
00:54:30.420 Why were Manitowoc officers
00:54:31.780 involved when there was
00:54:32.680 a $36 million
00:54:34.160 pending lawsuit
00:54:35.180 against them?
00:54:36.820 Link and Colburn
00:54:37.780 were villains,
00:54:38.860 the main ones accused
00:54:39.660 of planting evidence.
00:54:41.760 Were you asked
00:54:42.660 to perform a thorough
00:54:44.220 search of this piece
00:54:46.060 of furniture?
00:54:47.560 Yes.
00:54:48.660 Suddenly,
00:54:49.500 I hear Lieutenant Link
00:54:51.020 say,
00:54:51.560 there's a key
00:54:53.300 on the floor.
00:54:55.560 I knew the significance
00:54:56.720 of that and I said,
00:54:58.140 you guys just
00:54:58.800 f***ed up my case.
00:55:07.980 New episodes are released
00:55:09.080 every Thursday

00:55:19.020 Now let's get to
00:55:19.460 our daily cancellation.
00:55:26.580 We're going to do
00:55:27.120 something today
00:55:27.480 that we don't usually do.
00:55:28.460 Today's cancellation
00:55:29.000 is going to be something
00:55:29.800 of a sequel
00:55:30.400 to yesterday's.
00:55:31.920 On Wednesday,
00:55:32.400 as you know,
00:55:32.700 we talked about
00:55:33.140 the issue of high body counts.
00:55:35.060 Specifically,
00:55:35.560 we discussed why men
00:55:36.520 care about a woman's
00:55:37.440 body count,
00:55:38.040 how many men
00:55:38.560 she slept with
00:55:39.280 and why it's valid
00:55:40.620 for us to care about it
00:55:41.840 and why, in fact,
00:55:42.360 we should care about it.
00:55:43.480 We're not going to
00:55:43.840 rehash that topic
00:55:44.420 and go back to
00:55:44.900 yesterday's show
00:55:45.420 and listen
00:55:45.700 or find the clip
00:55:46.260 on YouTube.
00:55:47.240 That segment got
00:55:47.840 a pretty big reaction
00:55:48.740 and, as they say,
00:55:49.940 sparked a conversation.
00:55:51.580 Many people,
00:55:52.180 both men and women,
00:55:52.820 agreed with the points
00:55:53.640 that I raised.
00:55:54.180 Some disagreed.
00:55:54.740 And then there was,
00:55:56.200 as expected,
00:55:57.240 a loud minority
00:55:57.940 of people
00:55:58.280 who didn't disagree
00:55:59.860 necessarily
00:56:00.640 with the substance
00:56:01.840 of my remarks
00:56:02.520 but who nonetheless
00:56:03.140 had a problem
00:56:04.060 with the focus
00:56:04.880 of my remarks.
00:56:06.500 I spent most of the segment
00:56:07.280 talking about
00:56:07.840 why women
00:56:08.460 shouldn't have
00:56:09.580 high body counts.
00:56:11.160 But why didn't I say
00:56:11.800 more about why men
00:56:12.760 shouldn't have
00:56:13.220 high body counts?
00:56:13.900 Let me read a few
00:56:14.860 of these comments
00:56:15.320 and messages
00:56:15.720 and I think
00:56:16.300 this is a representative
00:56:16.880 sample.
00:56:17.840 Matt,
00:56:18.060 you dropped the ball
00:56:18.660 on the body count rant.
00:56:19.580 Everything you said
00:56:20.080 about women's body counts
00:56:21.080 is true
00:56:21.620 but it's just as bad
00:56:22.940 for men who have
00:56:23.540 high body counts.
00:56:24.260 It's just as much
00:56:24.840 of a red flag.
00:56:25.900 You can't let men
00:56:26.460 off the hook.
00:56:26.920 Another says,
00:56:27.340 Matt says nothing
00:56:28.600 about men having
00:56:29.220 a high body count.
00:56:29.840 It's just as bad
00:56:30.360 for men to have
00:56:30.780 a high body count
00:56:31.540 and all the negative
00:56:32.100 things you said.
00:56:33.140 Women having
00:56:33.640 a high body count
00:56:35.040 apply to men.
00:56:36.580 This one-sided
00:56:37.420 conversation is stupid.
00:56:39.120 Another says,
00:56:39.680 number one,
00:56:40.140 the association
00:56:40.580 between STDs
00:56:41.320 and sexual experience
00:56:42.060 is valid for both
00:56:42.880 men and women.
00:56:43.540 Number two,
00:56:43.860 the argument about
00:56:44.460 habit of following
00:56:45.720 carnal desire
00:56:46.540 holds both for men
00:56:47.620 and women.
00:56:48.360 Number three,
00:56:48.880 as for moral and values,
00:56:50.400 only women's morals
00:56:51.140 and values are called
00:56:51.820 into question.
00:56:52.720 Number four,
00:56:53.200 desired self-control,
00:56:54.640 dignified and classy
00:56:55.520 are attributes that
00:56:56.280 pertain only to women.
00:56:57.560 Ah, new exciting logic
00:56:58.600 for them for Redneck University.
00:57:00.840 Another says,
00:57:01.420 I concur with every point
00:57:02.360 made with one caveat.
00:57:03.300 This conversation
00:57:03.820 shouldn't be about
00:57:04.600 women's body counts.
00:57:06.060 It should be about
00:57:06.640 a partner of either gender.
00:57:08.720 And another says,
00:57:09.220 it needs to be acknowledged
00:57:10.080 that a high body count
00:57:10.960 is just as disgusting
00:57:11.940 in men as it is in women.
00:57:13.240 Men who are virtuous
00:57:13.920 and chaste should also
00:57:15.320 be the one sought after too.
00:57:18.240 Another says,
00:57:18.960 of course,
00:57:19.200 the misogynist who wishes
00:57:20.140 that he was still
00:57:20.720 in the 1940s
00:57:21.620 focuses his whole body count
00:57:22.860 diatribe on women.
00:57:25.080 Also,
00:57:25.620 both men and women
00:57:26.180 should care about body count,
00:57:27.240 not just men caring
00:57:28.120 about a woman's count.
00:57:29.540 It's kind of gross
00:57:30.200 on both parties.
00:57:31.420 Do you like being used?
00:57:32.500 And finally,
00:57:33.480 Matt,
00:57:33.680 I get tired of constant
00:57:34.700 hyper-focus
00:57:35.320 on criticizing women.
00:57:36.640 That's why women
00:57:37.260 become defensive.
00:57:38.320 Society holds women
00:57:39.100 to a higher standard
00:57:40.080 while painting men
00:57:41.140 as the victims.
00:57:42.680 Okay,
00:57:42.960 so let me make
00:57:43.860 a few points about this.
00:57:45.240 First,
00:57:45.600 anyone who listened
00:57:46.060 to the monologue
00:57:46.580 knows that I did,
00:57:47.460 in fact,
00:57:47.680 stipulate at the end
00:57:48.760 that obviously it's bad
00:57:50.000 for men to be promiscuous also.
00:57:51.740 Most of the same reasons apply.
00:57:53.140 A promiscuous man
00:57:53.820 has likely been exposed
00:57:54.680 to and possibly contracted
00:57:56.740 any number of disgusting diseases.
00:57:59.040 A promiscuous man
00:57:59.980 lacks self-control,
00:58:00.940 lacks virtue,
00:58:01.640 lacks self-respect,
00:58:02.820 lacks dignity,
00:58:03.420 and so on.
00:58:04.800 And I did state this
00:58:05.780 in the monologue,
00:58:06.320 but of course the caveat
00:58:07.160 that I offered there
00:58:08.500 was ignored by the people
00:58:09.660 who were determined
00:58:10.260 to come away
00:58:10.780 with the impression
00:58:11.300 that I was being somehow
00:58:12.200 unfair and sexist
00:58:13.500 towards women.
00:58:14.620 And I think for those people,
00:58:16.000 the moment I entered
00:58:17.840 into this conversation,
00:58:19.300 they had already
00:58:20.240 determined that.
00:58:20.960 They had already determined
00:58:21.940 that no matter what I say,
00:58:23.300 it has to be sexist.
00:58:25.580 Second,
00:58:26.180 did I spend equal time
00:58:27.720 explaining why
00:58:29.060 high body counts
00:58:29.900 are bad for men?
00:58:30.900 Well,
00:58:31.220 no,
00:58:31.500 I didn't.
00:58:32.880 And why?
00:58:33.520 Well,
00:58:33.640 because that's just not
00:58:34.420 what the conversation
00:58:35.080 was about.
00:58:36.460 The point was specifically
00:58:37.580 to explain why men
00:58:38.780 care about high body counts.
00:58:40.820 And that's been the debate
00:58:41.820 in society,
00:58:42.380 and it's what I was weighing in on.
00:58:43.980 Not everything has to be equal
00:58:45.640 all the time.
00:58:46.920 Okay?
00:58:47.300 Just because we spend
00:58:48.020 a certain amount of time
00:58:48.680 talking about one group of people,
00:58:50.240 that doesn't mean that we need
00:58:51.080 to give equal time
00:58:51.840 to the other group.
00:58:53.520 Neither should we
00:58:54.300 generalize every conversation
00:58:55.980 so that everything
00:58:56.700 is about everybody
00:58:57.680 and no group
00:58:58.360 is ever specifically
00:58:59.280 singled out.
00:59:00.760 The demand for this
00:59:01.820 kind of thing
00:59:02.360 is it's immature
00:59:03.200 and it's silly
00:59:04.160 and it's childish.
00:59:05.880 It's the sort of thing
00:59:06.700 I deal with as a parent.
00:59:08.820 You know,
00:59:09.180 it's like when my kids
00:59:09.860 are upset
00:59:11.440 because a sibling
00:59:12.420 got a slightly bigger
00:59:13.960 piece of pie
00:59:14.720 for dessert.
00:59:16.300 I'm not going to sit there
00:59:16.980 with a ruler
00:59:17.600 and measure it all out
00:59:18.780 exactly,
00:59:19.520 precisely,
00:59:20.000 equally.
00:59:20.800 Sometimes you get
00:59:21.380 the bigger slice,
00:59:22.360 sometimes you get
00:59:22.820 the smaller slice.
00:59:23.960 That's life.
00:59:24.940 Not everything is equal.
00:59:26.340 And when you insist
00:59:27.080 on that kind of equality,
00:59:27.920 it's not because you care
00:59:28.700 deeply about fairness
00:59:29.680 and justice
00:59:30.300 is because you're being
00:59:31.620 selfish and small-minded.
00:59:34.660 Third,
00:59:35.140 the idea that society
00:59:35.960 is harsher and more
00:59:36.980 critical towards women
00:59:37.940 is simply wrong.
00:59:40.100 In fact,
00:59:40.320 it's delusional
00:59:41.040 and laughable.
00:59:42.920 And yet,
00:59:43.240 it's a narrative
00:59:43.660 that you hear from people
00:59:44.440 on the left
00:59:44.880 and the right.
00:59:46.860 You know,
00:59:47.400 it's not that society
00:59:48.220 criticizes women more.
00:59:50.360 It's that in the last
00:59:51.500 few years,
00:59:52.240 society,
00:59:52.800 some segments of it anyway,
00:59:55.160 have started
00:59:55.900 criticizing women
00:59:56.760 at all.
00:59:58.220 You see,
00:59:58.420 for a long time,
00:59:59.120 nearly all of the lecturing,
01:00:00.860 all of the holding accountable,
01:00:03.020 all of the criticism
01:00:04.120 was directed towards men.
01:00:06.220 And that has started
01:00:07.120 to shift
01:00:07.640 ever so slightly
01:00:08.900 in recent times.
01:00:10.460 And the people
01:00:11.140 who preferred
01:00:11.660 the old way
01:00:12.320 are reacting
01:00:12.960 as though women
01:00:13.540 have been entirely
01:00:14.300 villainized.
01:00:15.380 They haven't.
01:00:16.980 Even with the slight
01:00:17.780 uptick in criticism,
01:00:18.820 still the group
01:00:19.320 most often demonized,
01:00:20.620 most often blamed,
01:00:22.080 most often cast
01:00:22.920 as the villains
01:00:23.580 are men,
01:00:24.420 specifically white,
01:00:25.160 straight men.
01:00:26.620 They're still the subject
01:00:27.540 of most of the scolding,
01:00:28.620 most of the finger pointing,
01:00:30.060 most of the scapegoating.
01:00:31.980 It's just that recently
01:00:33.000 we've started to hear
01:00:33.760 on occasion,
01:00:34.880 people speak up
01:00:35.580 and say,
01:00:36.840 well,
01:00:37.280 here's what women
01:00:37.980 are doing wrong
01:00:38.820 and here's what they need
01:00:39.840 to do better too.
01:00:42.020 See,
01:00:42.480 men have been hearing
01:00:43.880 this message
01:00:44.720 forever
01:00:45.740 from everywhere.
01:00:48.260 Women are not used
01:00:49.080 to hearing it,
01:00:49.720 certainly not so directly
01:00:50.640 and bluntly.
01:00:52.280 For a long time,
01:00:53.200 you just never,
01:00:53.640 you would never hear
01:00:54.180 anyone stand up
01:00:54.840 and say,
01:00:55.240 women need to do
01:00:55.760 this better.
01:00:57.200 You especially
01:00:57.560 would never hear
01:00:57.900 any men say that.
01:01:00.080 Even though,
01:01:00.580 again,
01:01:00.680 on the other side
01:01:01.200 of it,
01:01:02.340 for years,
01:01:02.900 women were lecturing
01:01:03.660 men that way
01:01:04.180 all the time.
01:01:07.460 So,
01:01:08.300 now,
01:01:08.940 a little bit of that's
01:01:10.100 going in the reverse
01:01:10.780 and we're acting
01:01:11.540 as though it only
01:01:12.200 ever goes in the reverse,
01:01:13.140 which is not the case.
01:01:14.840 Now,
01:01:15.060 fourth,
01:01:15.300 one of the reasons
01:01:15.820 why it's necessary
01:01:16.560 to specifically state
01:01:18.000 that women shouldn't
01:01:19.220 be promiscuous
01:01:19.900 is that,
01:01:20.620 on the other end,
01:01:21.920 there are powerful
01:01:22.700 cultural voices
01:01:23.580 claiming that female
01:01:24.500 promiscuity
01:01:25.540 is an objectively
01:01:26.460 good thing.
01:01:28.340 The institutions
01:01:29.180 in our country
01:01:29.740 are heavily invested
01:01:30.840 in the narrative
01:01:32.040 that it's empowering
01:01:32.940 for women to become
01:01:34.120 sexually liberated
01:01:35.100 and sleep with
01:01:35.760 whoever they want
01:01:36.400 whenever they want.
01:01:37.720 And this message
01:01:38.320 doesn't really go
01:01:39.280 the other way.
01:01:39.760 There isn't nearly
01:01:40.340 as much of a push
01:01:41.180 to encourage men
01:01:42.660 to be promiscuous
01:01:43.520 and you certainly
01:01:44.280 don't hear anyone
01:01:44.780 ever claiming
01:01:45.240 that it's empowering
01:01:46.780 for a man to have
01:01:48.140 sex with lots of women.
01:01:49.480 Like,
01:01:49.620 when's the last time
01:01:49.980 you ever heard that?
01:01:50.420 When's the last time
01:01:50.760 you ever heard
01:01:51.180 someone say
01:01:52.000 that a man who's
01:01:52.920 had sex with a lot
01:01:53.420 of women
01:01:53.680 is empowered.
01:01:55.880 It doesn't happen.
01:01:57.960 In fact,
01:01:58.260 I'm not sure
01:01:58.580 if I've ever heard
01:01:59.140 anyone say
01:01:59.680 that it's liberating
01:02:00.560 for men to have
01:02:01.320 sex with lots of women.
01:02:02.640 That kind of encouragement
01:02:03.680 only goes one way
01:02:05.180 which makes it
01:02:05.680 especially important
01:02:06.540 to counteract
01:02:07.840 and speak out
01:02:08.500 against it.
01:02:10.060 This is the way
01:02:10.740 it goes in modern society.
01:02:11.760 Certain types of sins
01:02:12.800 committed by certain
01:02:13.600 groups of people
01:02:14.220 are specially promoted
01:02:15.780 and encouraged
01:02:16.380 and it then becomes
01:02:17.320 necessary for those
01:02:18.100 of us on Team Sanity
01:02:19.260 to specially denounce
01:02:20.980 those sins
01:02:21.840 because they are
01:02:22.700 being specially celebrated.
01:02:25.880 Fifth and finally,
01:02:28.180 is it bad
01:02:28.920 for men to sleep
01:02:29.700 with lots of women?
01:02:31.060 As established already,
01:02:31.940 the answer is yes.
01:02:32.980 Obviously.
01:02:34.240 Is it just as bad?
01:02:37.540 Yes,
01:02:38.060 in the sense that
01:02:38.840 licentiousness
01:02:39.620 is morally disordered,
01:02:41.080 is sinful,
01:02:41.860 and no matter
01:02:42.640 who's engaging in it,
01:02:43.540 that remains the same.
01:02:45.280 But is it
01:02:46.100 just as much
01:02:47.480 of a red flag?
01:02:48.320 In other words,
01:02:49.180 is it just as troubling
01:02:50.320 of a sign
01:02:51.160 when a man
01:02:51.760 has a history
01:02:52.240 of sleeping around
01:02:52.900 as it is
01:02:53.320 when a woman
01:02:53.740 has a similar history?
01:02:55.920 The answer there
01:02:56.820 is no.
01:02:58.560 It isn't.
01:02:59.760 It's still bad for men.
01:03:01.300 Men should not behave
01:03:02.020 that way.
01:03:03.040 Yet it isn't exactly
01:03:04.080 the same.
01:03:05.440 And this is the part
01:03:05.960 of the conversation
01:03:06.440 that of course
01:03:07.060 will be misconstrued
01:03:07.900 by the legions of morons
01:03:08.980 who are determined
01:03:09.520 to misconstrue it,
01:03:10.340 but it's worth saying anyway.
01:03:11.940 A high body count
01:03:12.880 for a woman
01:03:13.340 is indeed
01:03:13.920 more of a red flag
01:03:16.020 than it is for a man.
01:03:17.700 It's a red flag
01:03:18.220 for both,
01:03:19.280 but the flag
01:03:19.760 is a bit bigger,
01:03:20.740 a bit brighter,
01:03:22.240 flies a bit higher
01:03:23.060 with women.
01:03:24.220 And there are
01:03:24.800 many reasons for this.
01:03:26.460 And I think most
01:03:26.940 of this is like intuitive.
01:03:28.080 I think people
01:03:28.400 just understand this.
01:03:29.960 But I'll mention one.
01:03:32.760 Men are less emotional
01:03:34.160 by nature.
01:03:34.760 We form fewer attachments.
01:03:36.340 And we form them
01:03:37.080 more slowly.
01:03:38.580 So that makes it easier
01:03:39.660 for a man
01:03:40.060 to compartmentalize.
01:03:42.080 It's easier for him
01:03:42.920 to take a more practical
01:03:44.040 utilitarian view
01:03:45.440 of something,
01:03:46.140 even his relationships.
01:03:47.900 Men are also more visual
01:03:49.080 in their attraction.
01:03:50.000 We're attracted to looks
01:03:51.080 more than women are.
01:03:53.380 Now, obviously,
01:03:53.800 it'll help a man
01:03:55.080 attract a woman
01:03:56.040 if he's a good-looking guy.
01:03:57.420 But even if he has
01:03:58.760 average looks,
01:03:59.400 even if he's, like,
01:04:00.220 ugly,
01:04:01.080 he can make himself
01:04:02.160 more physically attractive
01:04:03.200 to women
01:04:03.700 by being confident,
01:04:05.040 by being personable,
01:04:06.340 by being funny,
01:04:07.540 by being successful.
01:04:09.360 Now, an ugly woman
01:04:10.260 will have a harder time
01:04:11.380 overcoming that deficit
01:04:12.320 with personality alone
01:04:13.220 because a man's
01:04:14.160 initial attraction
01:04:15.000 is based much more
01:04:16.360 on visual cues.
01:04:17.320 I mean, it's based
01:04:17.740 almost entirely,
01:04:19.320 at least initially,
01:04:20.180 on visual cues.
01:04:22.560 All this means
01:04:23.320 that a man's wiring
01:04:24.880 makes it easier
01:04:25.940 for him
01:04:26.600 to have casual
01:04:27.540 sexual relationships.
01:04:28.740 That doesn't make
01:04:29.800 the behavior good.
01:04:31.320 It doesn't make it
01:04:31.840 any less sinful.
01:04:33.680 It doesn't make it,
01:04:34.960 quote, natural.
01:04:35.740 It just means that
01:04:36.480 it's an easier habit
01:04:37.820 of behavior
01:04:38.360 for a man to fall into.
01:04:39.680 Women, on the other hand,
01:04:42.140 are wired to be
01:04:43.000 more emotional,
01:04:43.880 to be more affectionate,
01:04:44.720 to be more easily attached,
01:04:45.900 less driven by raw,
01:04:46.900 by raw physical,
01:04:48.480 visual attraction.
01:04:49.680 And this makes it
01:04:50.780 a sign of greater,
01:04:52.400 more severe
01:04:53.080 moral disorder
01:04:54.140 when a woman
01:04:55.280 has a high body count.
01:04:56.540 In other words,
01:04:57.960 she shouldn't even
01:04:59.260 really be tempted
01:05:00.120 to act that way.
01:05:02.320 Like, a life
01:05:03.260 of casual sex
01:05:04.000 should be more
01:05:04.680 immediately
01:05:05.320 and innately
01:05:06.260 unappealing
01:05:07.460 to her
01:05:08.120 as a woman.
01:05:10.360 This isn't even
01:05:11.320 a temptation
01:05:12.020 that she should
01:05:12.700 really have.
01:05:14.280 And so if she's
01:05:14.780 living such a life,
01:05:16.100 it speaks potentially
01:05:17.000 to a deeper
01:05:17.740 and more serious
01:05:18.680 problem.
01:05:20.800 Now, there are
01:05:21.400 plenty of examples
01:05:22.000 like this
01:05:22.340 that go the other way.
01:05:23.100 Like, for example,
01:05:24.560 it's not good
01:05:25.500 when women
01:05:26.340 are overly sensitive,
01:05:28.000 when they're quick
01:05:28.420 to take offense,
01:05:29.160 when they have
01:05:29.460 poor control
01:05:30.100 over their emotions.
01:05:31.220 It's not good for women.
01:05:32.540 Women shouldn't be that way,
01:05:33.520 you know.
01:05:34.660 But it's worse
01:05:35.740 when men are that way.
01:05:37.880 Bad for both,
01:05:39.000 worse for men.
01:05:39.860 Because it's a behavior
01:05:41.000 that is even farther
01:05:42.520 from the masculine ideal
01:05:44.320 than it is
01:05:44.880 from the feminine.
01:05:46.920 It should be easier
01:05:48.460 for a man
01:05:49.100 to not behave that way
01:05:50.680 because that's not
01:05:51.600 how he's wired,
01:05:52.520 or at least it's not
01:05:53.080 how he should be wired.
01:05:55.060 That's why
01:05:55.720 when a woman
01:05:56.460 is too sensitive
01:05:57.160 and she cries too much
01:05:58.240 and she takes things
01:05:58.900 too personally,
01:06:00.120 men find it annoying.
01:06:02.280 You know,
01:06:02.480 it's annoying.
01:06:03.900 But when a man
01:06:04.880 is too sensitive
01:06:05.540 and he cries too much
01:06:06.720 and he takes things
01:06:07.280 too personally,
01:06:08.320 women find it repulsive.
01:06:10.060 It's not just annoying,
01:06:10.960 it's disgusting.
01:06:12.640 It's like
01:06:13.220 nauseating
01:06:14.640 for a woman
01:06:15.920 to see that
01:06:16.640 from a man.
01:06:19.160 That sort of thing
01:06:19.960 can be,
01:06:20.340 so like,
01:06:21.240 just imagine,
01:06:21.880 you know,
01:06:22.160 you'll see sometimes
01:06:23.200 a woman
01:06:23.560 will like break down
01:06:24.580 in tears
01:06:24.800 because she's just
01:06:25.220 very frustrated.
01:06:26.300 Very frustrating day
01:06:27.200 and she starts to cry.
01:06:28.760 On the other hand,
01:06:29.520 like imagine a man
01:06:30.500 breaking down in tears
01:06:31.940 you ask him what's wrong.
01:06:32.560 I don't know,
01:06:32.820 I'm just so frustrated,
01:06:33.500 such a frustrating day.
01:06:34.740 I'm just overwhelmed
01:06:35.520 that he's crying.
01:06:37.460 Now,
01:06:37.800 whatever we hear
01:06:38.320 from society about
01:06:39.040 a man should be
01:06:39.480 more emotional,
01:06:40.300 I guarantee it,
01:06:41.120 almost every woman
01:06:41.860 sees that
01:06:42.600 and they're not
01:06:44.500 attracted to that man
01:06:45.460 at all.
01:06:45.840 That's gross.
01:06:46.980 Like,
01:06:47.240 get it together.
01:06:49.980 That sort of thing
01:06:50.580 could be a deal breaker
01:06:51.240 from a woman's perspective.
01:06:52.900 From a man's perspective,
01:06:53.880 when a woman acts that way,
01:06:54.880 you know,
01:06:55.140 it's not really
01:06:55.720 a deal breaker.
01:06:56.240 The behavior is bad
01:06:58.740 for both groups,
01:06:59.600 but for one,
01:07:00.980 it's more disgusting.
01:07:02.080 It's more of a red flag.
01:07:04.040 It's not just a flaw
01:07:05.380 for a man to be weak
01:07:06.520 and teary
01:07:06.980 and overly sensitive.
01:07:08.120 It is specifically
01:07:08.780 a feminine flaw.
01:07:11.400 Feminine flaws in men
01:07:12.700 are always going to be worse
01:07:13.680 than feminine flaws
01:07:14.800 in women.
01:07:15.800 On the other hand,
01:07:16.800 it is a flaw
01:07:17.580 for a woman
01:07:18.700 to be crude and vulgar
01:07:19.860 and to run around
01:07:20.440 hooking up with random people
01:07:21.560 and taking pride
01:07:22.240 in her sexual conquests.
01:07:24.300 But even worse,
01:07:25.000 it is a masculine
01:07:25.920 flaw.
01:07:27.220 And masculine flaws
01:07:28.540 will be more repulsive
01:07:29.820 in women
01:07:30.380 than they are in men.
01:07:34.160 That's the nuance here.
01:07:36.000 Easy to misinterpret.
01:07:37.720 Easy to take out of context
01:07:38.760 and accuse me
01:07:39.280 of saying things
01:07:39.720 I'm not saying.
01:07:40.860 But it is what it is.
01:07:42.480 And those who deny
01:07:43.660 this innately obvious point
01:07:45.120 are therefore today
01:07:46.620 canceled.
01:07:48.200 And I'll do it
01:07:48.660 for the show today.
01:07:49.540 Thanks for watching.
01:07:49.980 Thanks for listening.
