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
00:00:13.760
Also, the media now admits that the Bud Light boycott was one of the most effective boycotts
00:00:19.080
Plus, a new survey reveals that many Americans can't even name one branch of government,
00:00:25.100
And a famous left-wing comedian has made a career out of his elaborate stories of victimhood.
00:00:31.780
All of that and more today on The Matt Walsh Show.
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
00:01:11.440
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
00:01:26.900
All of your network data gets encrypted and rerouted through ExpressVPN's secure servers
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
00:01:45.520
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
00:01:58.380
That's E-X-P-R-E-S-S-V-P-N dot com slash Walsh to get protected.
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
00:02:18.840
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
00:02:31.160
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,
00:02:46.600
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
00:02:59.280
And in several cases, Stern brings up the girls unprompted, leading to awkward moments with
00:03:04.600
Because it's not possible to truly eliminate any content from the internet, you can still
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?
00:03:47.140
I forget what magazine it is, but it's the Olsen twins hugging each other in a photo shoot,
00:04:01.860
I don't really want to have sex with them anymore.
00:04:14.560
They're not as hot as you thought they were going to be.
00:04:18.020
Like, when they were 13 or 14, they were going to be supermodels.
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,
00:04:49.880
But the Olsen's would get that Hobbit-looking thing going, you know?
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
00:05:21.300
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
00:05:38.960
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
00:06:01.660
There was never a point in American history where it was acceptable to sexualize children
00:06:05.540
But for years, Howard Stern continued doing just that right out in the open.
00:06:14.360
He tracked the Olsen twins from puberty to adulthood, commenting on their sex appeal as
00:06:21.480
But somewhere along the line, Howard Stern and his team decided that he had to stop talking
00:06:26.420
And more than that, someone decided that all of Stern's past comments about the Olsen twins
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.
00:06:44.360
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
00:06:53.260
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.
00:07:01.800
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
00:07:25.980
This is the guy who spent the first three decades of his career being a creepy, degenerate sex fiend.
00:07:32.420
Now he's pretending to be scandalized by the sort of behavior that he would openly have on his show
00:07:41.020
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
00:07:53.900
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
00:08:14.340
At no point did he kind of make a pit stop and try out being a decent, normal person.
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.
00:08:31.280
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.
00:08:53.360
Now, of course, Jones was wrong in what he said about Sandy Hook.
00:08:57.460
But as far as we know, Howard Stern has never apologized for his decision to mock the victims
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.
00:09:22.880
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.
00:09:29.720
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.
00:09:34.840
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
00:09:40.380
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?
00:09:45.700
At least if you're going to go kill yourself and kill all the kids, like, why wouldn't
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.
00:10:09.860
So that's pretty much the most vile thing a human being could possibly say.
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.
00:10:32.680
But this is way beyond the bounds of what would have been considered remotely acceptable
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?
00:10:53.260
He's not only joking about a school shooting right after it happened.
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.
00:11:16.260
Just the, the kind of shell shock that most people were experiencing the next day and for,
00:11:20.840
And here he is a day later, telling, quote-unquote, jokes about how the kids who were just killed
00:11:33.860
Lusting after the survivors of the school shooting and saying the shooter should have
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?
00:12:05.160
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
00:12:58.080
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
00:13:16.280
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
00:13:25.080
In the most passive-aggressive fashion imaginable, the UK Parliament also sent out a similar letter
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
00:14:01.500
This is the government moving to have financial penalties imposed on someone without any criminal
00:14:11.540
Not just no criminal conviction, no criminal charge has even been levied at this point.
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
00:14:38.240
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
00:14:49.160
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
00:15:01.800
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.
00:15:19.780
Cardi B is responding to a whole lot of backlash she is getting for an admission that she made
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.
00:15:40.680
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
00:16:22.580
You know, we call this a double standard, but double standard isn't really the right term
00:16:28.220
And the standard is if you're useful to the left, if you're on their team, you can essentially
00:16:35.760
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.
00:16:51.420
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.
00:17:00.540
We've learned that much over the past few years.
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
00:17:15.300
It certainly is not outside the realm of possibility that he did treat the women the way that he's
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
00:17:32.180
They want to mete out punishments only to the enemies of the regime while its allies and
00:17:41.160
Kowtowing to these people is not a smart or sustainable strategy.
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
00:18:55.100
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,
00:19:07.540
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
00:19:32.960
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.
00:19:44.960
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,

There's an article in The Guardian that I want to point out and begin with, and all we really
00:20:09.160
The Guardian, panic and rash decision-making, ex-Budlight staff on one of the biggest boycotts
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
00:20:47.620
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
00:21:33.840
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
00:22:11.520
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.
00:22:46.620
I'm pretty much admitting that they hired her purely for that, purely to sort of check off
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.
00:23:45.360
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
00:24:16.620
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
00:24:35.660
The left generally has boycotted much more often, and they have the reputation of being
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.
00:24:52.800
But boycotting, whether you're on the left or the right, doesn't matter.
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
00:25:10.940
And to actually make an impact is very, very difficult.
00:25:16.400
To go as far as we were able to go with the Bud Light boycott and just destroy the company
00:25:26.120
So I guess my point here is partly, partly it's, I told you so.
00:25:35.300
I mean them, you know, the left, the media, even the skeptics on the right who said the Bud
00:25:45.220
You know, and listen, people are allowed to be wrong about things.
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
00:26:01.320
Those people, okay, and there are some prominent ones, trying to discourage it, saying this is
00:26:14.320
Now, I know a few of them have come along afterwards and said, you know what, I got this
00:26:22.860
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
00:26:41.660
And if you're a conservative and you weren't on our team and helping with that, then that's
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
00:27:17.040
So if someone acknowledges that, then that's one thing.
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
00:27:30.380
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
00:27:48.900
A side that crucially believed, it itself believed that it had no power, certainly didn't have
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
00:28:15.720
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
00:28:30.860
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
00:28:50.420
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.
00:29:10.300
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.
00:29:47.960
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.
00:29:54.000
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.
00:30:20.800
We can use that to our advantage, but we have to use it.
00:30:32.280
Study Fine says the U.S. Constitution was a collaborative effort undertaken by many of
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.
00:31:00.480
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,
00:31:22.000
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.
00:32:01.640
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.
00:32:16.620
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.
00:32:28.380
Just under half named one or two First Amendment rights.
00:32:34.720
20% of Americans, according to this, could not name any of the rights guaranteed by the First Amendment.
00:32:43.460
The association between free speech and the First Amendment was unknown to 20% of Americans.
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.
00:33:10.380
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.
00:33:24.200
You know, we see these kinds of studies and surveys all the time.
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.
00:33:52.220
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.
00:34:52.440
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.
00:35:24.460
which is that the education system is just simply failing to educate people.
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.
00:35:56.200
And they come out, and then many of them go to another four years
00:36:15.240
And yet many of these people are coming out on the other end of that
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,
00:36:37.880
and we're not having any kind of serious conversation
00:36:41.080
about the utter failure of the education system
00:36:56.080
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,
00:37:03.060
you know, remodel the kitchen, maybe put an addition on.
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,
00:37:36.240
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.
00:37:47.060
Like, actually, they should not be able to vote.
00:38:10.380
That there are a lot of people who are voting in this country
00:38:30.680
Okay, it's not fundamental to your human nature
00:39:18.320
It's not just that you shouldn't be able to vote.
