The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1231 - The Biggest Corporations In The Country Instituted A Near Total Ban On Hiring White People

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, a truly shocking new report shows just how bad the anti-white

00:00:04.440 discrimination in corporate America has become. It's even worse than you thought.

00:01:58.880 If you open any history textbook in this country, you'll learn that the crowning achievement of the

00:02:04.220 civil rights movement was supposedly the Civil Rights Act of 1964. And for the first time in American

00:02:09.240 history, the law banned discrimination based on race, particularly in the context of employment.

00:02:14.460 And from that point forward, we were told businesses would not be allowed to hire or fire people because

00:02:20.000 they were black or white or Asian or whatever. It was supposedly the dawn of a new era. Lyndon

00:02:25.000 Johnson might have escalated our role in Vietnam, but at least he finished what JFK started and signed

00:02:29.980 the Civil Rights Act. And we should all be thankful for that. That is the comic book version of civil 0.94

00:02:35.780 rights law anyway, which also happens to be what pretty much everybody believes to this day.

00:02:40.840 The truth is different, though. The truth is that in 2023, the Civil Rights Act is not simply a dead

00:02:45.620 letter. It is a document so defunct, so pointless, so irrelevant that it stopped prohibiting racist

00:02:52.400 employment discrimination several years ago. And no one even noticed when it happened, at least since

00:02:57.820 2020 and probably much earlier. The largest corporations in this country have openly discriminated

00:03:02.700 against white people solely on the basis of skin color. And to be clear, we're not talking about

00:03:07.800 a quote unquote holistic discrimination or discrimination at the margins here. We're

00:03:12.740 talking about a de facto near total ban on hiring white people. So here are the numbers. And there's no

00:03:19.800 need to hype this up or use hyperbole because the numbers by themselves are shocking, like hard to

00:03:27.540 believe. In 2021, the largest public companies in the United States, meaning the companies in the

00:03:33.260 S&P 100, they hired collectively 300,000 people in that year. Now, of those 300,000 people, only 6% of

00:03:45.300 them were white. So a total of 94% of them were so-called people of color, meaning blacks, Hispanics,

00:03:52.520 and so on. Now, this is data so extreme that it doesn't even seem to be real. Even if you know

00:03:59.680 that anti-white discrimination is a real problem and it's happening in this country and it's,

00:04:04.860 you know, mainstream. Even if you knew that, when you hear these numbers, it's again, hard to believe.

00:04:12.360 These are the kinds of numbers that appear at first glance to be impossible, but they're not

00:04:16.480 impossible. The biggest corporations in the United States with the best funded legal departments in the

00:04:20.500 entire world implemented this virtually absolute ban on hiring whites without any regard to the 0.64

00:04:26.520 hallowed Civil Rights Act. And there was not a single news story about it. There was not a single

00:04:32.220 member of Congress of either party who paid any attention to the fact that 94% of new hires among

00:04:37.240 the biggest corporations in the United States were non-white. Now, to be fair, as this was happening, 0.97

00:04:42.680 companies in the S&P 100 insisted that they weren't targeting whites in particular. For example,

00:04:47.780 here's one Apple executive telling the Washington Post that their main goal in the era of George

00:04:53.680 Floyd is not to punish anyone. Instead, Apple said they just want to honor the victims of supposed

00:04:59.160 racial injustice and create a more equitable playing field. Watch. So Apple has taken an holistic

00:05:07.140 approach, a sort of approach to criminal justice, education, small business, or economic

00:05:12.360 empowerment. Why this approach as opposed to, say, a more concentrated approach that focuses on

00:05:19.700 one of those issues? Yeah, it's a great question. I think we wanted to try to touch the places where

00:05:27.360 we thought we could have impact. And in honor of how this all got started, you know, our racial equity

00:05:33.780 and justice initiative is three years old. It started in the wake of the George Floyd, the Breonna Taylor

00:05:39.920 deaths. And we wanted to honor their encounters with the criminal justice system, which was so

00:05:48.600 deeply unfair to say that those murders, as they happen, should also, there should be work done in

00:05:55.740 that area as well. Yes, we have to honor them. We have to honor these scumbags. We have to honor

00:06:02.540 these criminals, drug addicts, and drug dealers. We have to honor them. We have to honor them by making 0.68

00:06:07.960 sure that only 6% of our jobs go to white people. By the way, white people still account for, I think,

00:06:13.920 like 70% of the U.S. population in total. So that's 6% of the jobs going to 70% of the population.

00:06:25.000 Now, on the other end, black Americans account for about 13% of the population.

00:06:31.140 And if you see a disparity where only 6% of a certain kind of job are going to 13% of the population,

00:06:36.100 we're told that this is a massive, massive problem. And this is systemic racism.

00:06:43.100 So 6% to 13% would be systemic racism, terrible, awful. It's slavery. It's Jim Crow. But 6% of

00:06:50.200 jobs going to 70%. Now, well, there's nothing to see here. The executive at Apple goes on and on with

00:06:58.520 a bunch of platitudes. And she never mentions that the S&P 100 is going to un-person hundreds of

00:07:04.240 millions of white people, effectively. She never says that Apple is going to start running ads with

00:07:09.300 a diverse array of overweight, multicultural actors having a little sit-down with an obese rendition 1.00

00:07:15.240 of Mother Earth. Apple, like so many other companies in the S&P 100, tried to keep its hatred of white 0.71

00:07:21.540 people under wraps. And for the most part, they succeeded. We only know about what's happened here

00:07:26.580 because of an article in the left-wing Bloomberg News, of all places. And incredibly enough,

00:07:32.040 this was not an article condemning the overt racist discrimination of the S&P 100. Not at all.

00:07:37.340 This was not a breathtaking piece of investigative journalism that demanded answers as to why the

00:07:42.540 most powerful corporations were not hiring whites because they're whites. Instead, the article from

00:07:48.360 Bloomberg made this racial discrimination sound like a great thing. Bloomberg endorsed it, 0.98

00:07:53.440 more or less. Here's the headline from Bloomberg News. And again, this is the only reason we even

00:07:59.280 know about this. The only outlet reporting on the fact that only 6% of the jobs went to white people

00:08:04.980 is Bloomberg. But here's how they framed it. Corporate America promised to hire a lot more

00:08:09.360 people of color. It actually did. The relief from Bloomberg was palpable. Thank God that thousands 0.99

00:08:16.020 of white people didn't get hired in 2021, Bloomberg was saying. In fact, Bloomberg went a step further

00:08:21.440 than that. Bloomberg also published the story under a banner reading equality. So they acted like it's

00:08:27.420 a win for equality to reject the vast majority of white applicants. That's equality. Because nothing 0.85

00:08:34.280 screams equality like preventing white people from getting jobs. That's equality. What Bloomberg did is 0.57

00:08:40.860 collect data from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, which by law requires that large

00:08:46.040 companies report their demographics to the government. And in the interest of full disclosure,

00:08:50.740 we have to note that we haven't seen all this data because Bloomberg hasn't published all of it.

00:08:55.940 And a lot of this is not posted by the government online either. But from what Bloomberg has disclosed

00:09:00.960 and from publicly available records, we can make a few determinations. And for one thing,

00:09:05.700 and this is a minor point, but it's important to make it anyway, from what we can tell, the data appears

00:09:10.680 to be counting Hispanics as people of color. So you'll notice that when Hispanics commit violent crimes, 0.98

00:09:16.020 like running over retired ex-police chiefs with stolen cars, for example, they're listed as white 0.92

00:09:21.680 on official records. But in this case, they're considered people of color. Make of that what you

00:09:27.060 will. So if they get a job, they're a person of color. If they commit a crime, they're white. 0.98

00:09:33.740 The other point, more important though, is that Bloomberg's data only captures hiring by companies

00:09:39.940 in the S&P 100. And that includes some of the most recognizable and biggest companies, of course,

00:09:44.940 in the world, like Apple, Amazon, AT&T, ExxonMobil, Citigroup, CVS, Boeing, and so on.

00:09:49.880 But it doesn't include the vast majority of companies in this country, including small businesses.

00:09:54.600 In all, Bloomberg reports, the corporations, the S&P 100 hired around 320,000 people in 2021.

00:10:00.780 For comparison that year, the U.S. economy added around 6 million jobs overall. So

00:10:05.260 what are all the other businesses in this country doing? Are they also rejecting white people

00:10:10.020 because they don't have enough melanin in their skin? That's a very good question. It's one that

00:10:14.520 Bloomberg doesn't answer. From what we can tell, looking at data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics,

00:10:19.720 thankfully, the answer right now is no. So this trend seems to be limited to the largest companies

00:10:25.360 in the S&P 100. Overall, there has not been as much of a trend among most small businesses and

00:10:31.020 mid-sized businesses in this country to stop hiring white people. And that's a good thing. 1.00

00:10:35.260 Instead, we're dealing with a top-down artificial system of anti-white discrimination that only the

00:10:41.000 very biggest companies are engaging. And of course, it's also true that most companies could

00:10:47.880 not possibly afford to ban the hiring of white people. That would leave them with a pool of 0.94

00:10:52.340 qualified applicants so small that they would go under within a week. They just couldn't do it. So

00:10:57.300 if you're looking for the kind of glass half-empty interpretation on all this data,

00:11:01.300 you might say that the companies that could afford to stop hiring white people did.

00:11:07.060 And the ones that couldn't afford it didn't. Either way, there's no way to minimize what's

00:11:11.820 happening. Think about all the qualified white people who were passed over for jobs. Think about

00:11:15.580 how many careers were completely derailed, in many cases, before they even started because of this.

00:11:22.720 Think about the cultural consequences of having flooded the market with legions of 0.71

00:11:26.960 underqualified workers at companies that—and these aren't just any companies. These are

00:11:31.360 companies that make our jets and fly our planes and design our electronics. This is a massive and

00:11:37.940 unprecedented catastrophe. Nothing like this has happened in modern history. At the same time,

00:11:44.460 we do need to recognize that this discrimination is artificial. There is no consensus in this country

00:11:49.360 that white people aren't worth hiring. Most businesses seem to understand that discrimination

00:11:55.220 against white people is immoral, not to mention bad for business or both. 0.57

00:11:59.560 Whatever the case, they're not doing it. It's the corporations at the very top of the heap,

00:12:04.160 the ones with the most power, and the lobbyists who can control public policy,

00:12:09.220 they're the ones who are pushing this. They're the ones driving the overt anti-white racism that we

00:12:14.300 now see every day and everywhere in society. Yesterday, we talked about this anti-white bias in the

00:12:21.620 courts, but really, it's all over the place. It's the reason white people can't get jobs in many 0.94

00:12:25.580 cases. The reason why many white people are unable to provide for their families. They fall into 0.90

00:12:29.780 despair and die of suicide and drug overdoses at a rate that would have been unfathomable just a few

00:12:34.940 years ago. Bloomberg didn't make any of that clear, but that's exactly what is happening.

00:12:40.920 Now, why is it happening? I mean, why are these corporations pursuing this anti-white,

00:12:47.560 anti-capitalist, flagrantly immoral agenda of mass racial discrimination?

00:12:52.900 What possible explanation can there be for this? Well, if you look at Bloomberg's website,

00:12:58.400 there's some suggestion of an explanation. Bloomberg boasts that in 2020, as people were dying and

00:13:03.080 police stations were being torched to honor the legacy of a blessed St. George Floyd,

00:13:07.500 Bloomberg reached out to the corporations in the S&P 100, quote,

00:13:11.420 that summer, Bloomberg News reporters and editors started a project to hold companies

00:13:14.860 accountable to these pledges by trying to collect data on workforce diversity that's usually kept

00:13:19.360 private. We asked the entire S&P 100 to share information on their worker demographics. We

00:13:24.380 targeted those companies because they employ millions of people in the U.S. and they're influential,

00:13:28.600 lucrative, and sit across a broad swath of industries. In other words, as BLM writers lit major 0.95

00:13:33.780 cities in this country on fire, Bloomberg reached out to companies like Apple and Amazon, told them

00:13:37.860 that they'd better stop hiring white people, told them that we're going to be watching you, 0.98

00:13:42.440 better not be hiring any white people. That was the import of what they were saying. 0.97

00:13:47.040 And now three years later, Bloomberg is gloating that these companies did in fact stop hiring white 0.61

00:13:52.200 people. But they're not mentioning that they pressured these companies to do that.

00:13:56.580 So this is activism journalism at its finest. It's a case study in it.

00:14:02.540 Now, this is not to blame Bloomberg for what's happening, of course. Bloomberg was merely taking

00:14:06.260 advantage of a vulnerability that already existed. They were one of many major media outlets that saw

00:14:12.440 that major corporations feared one thing above all else, which is that there would be an article

00:14:17.080 written accusing them of being racist. The biggest corporations in the United States were more

00:14:22.960 worried about being called bigots than they were about hiring competent employees. Bloomberg saw a

00:14:29.440 market opportunity and they took it. And that's why they're celebrating right now.

00:14:33.800 Now, for the rest of us, for people who care about the future of this country,

00:14:36.960 this isn't just a wake up call. It's a reason to ask every company in the S&P 100 where they stand on

00:14:44.160 the information that Bloomberg is currently reporting. Do they also hate hundreds of millions of American

00:14:49.340 citizens solely on the basis of how they look? Or do they recognize that what's happening here 0.95

00:14:54.060 is a grave injustice, one that is endangering everyone in the country and ruining millions of

00:15:00.480 lives? Corporations need to start answering those questions. And if they can, it's time to treat them

00:15:07.760 the same way Joe Biden's DOJ treats, quote unquote, white supremacists. We need to stop buying their

00:15:13.120 products. We need to stop putting up with their holistic approaches to anti-white racial

00:15:18.520 discrimination. It's time instead to destroy them. Now let's get to our five headlines. 0.99

00:16:36.780 Staying on the topic of racial justice for a moment, a bunch of people in Philly last night

00:16:40.680 looted a bunch of stores in the name of racial justice. And Fox News has the report, Philadelphia

00:16:46.760 police responded to popular retailers like Apple, the Apple Store, Lululemon, and Foot Locker after

00:16:52.600 they were allegedly being ravaged by swarms of looters taking over the city of Brotherly Love

00:16:56.920 Tuesday evening. At about 8 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to reports of large crowds of juveniles

00:17:03.460 allegedly looting stores in the center city business corridor of the 9th District.

00:17:07.420 The police spokesperson said, quote, in a proactive measure, officers from the 9th District stopped a

00:17:12.740 group of males dressed in black attire and wearing masks at the intersection of 17th and Chestnut

00:17:17.100 Street. As of midnight on Wednesday, police confirmed between 15 and 20 people were arrested

00:17:22.140 during the looting and at least two firearms were recovered. As the officers were speaking with these

00:17:26.240 individuals, they began to receive reports of looting at the Foot Locker on Chestnut Street.

00:17:29.560 And a short time later, there was looting at the Apple Store. So we just talked about how these

00:17:36.980 corporations, in an effort to appease the mob and to show off their anti-racist bona fides,

00:17:45.840 they put basically a total ban on hiring white people, which is, you would think, an extreme measure.

00:17:52.860 But does that let them off the hook when it's time for the racial justice warriors to start

00:18:00.020 looting again? Are they going to say, oh, no, Apple's cool. They stopped. They don't even hire white people 1.00

00:18:04.760 anymore. No, of course not. So this is what happened. I'm also not sure why Fox uses the word 0.75

00:18:11.320 alleged in here like three times because there's no alleged involved. They looted. It's on video,

00:18:18.560 but it's not an allegation. A bunch of people allegedly looted this store that we're watching

00:18:24.460 them loot right now. And there are many videos of this. Here's one of the videos. We'll put this up

00:18:29.920 for you to see.

00:18:30.660 All right. So that's them. We can pause it. Look at all those, those hungry,

00:19:00.480 desperate people. You know, that's why right there in that particular video, they're looting

00:19:06.040 a liquor store and they're just coming out with, you know, fistfuls of vodka and other liquor,

00:19:13.400 just like whole hand. You know, you saw one guy walk out with like five handles of vodka

00:19:17.240 because he's desperate and starving and he needs to feed his family, right? He's just, he's got to

00:19:24.560 feed his family. He's going to feed his family vodka. That's what he's feeding them, apparently.

00:19:28.680 Um, now I have to say, when I see stuff like this and we see it so often, I'm tempted to say as so

00:19:39.280 many people do now, and I'm tempted to join in and say, Hey, if these people want to destroy their

00:19:45.220 own community, if they're so dedicated to the mission of making their own neighborhoods into

00:19:50.140 unlivable crime-ridden dumps, then fine. I mean, have at it. Go ahead. If that's what you want to do,

00:19:56.360 you want to create racial justice by making your own life worse, Godspeed. Uh, congratulations, 0.98

00:20:04.680 you damned morons, if that's what you want. Because that's all that this is ultimately, 1.00

00:20:09.980 all the looting and writing we've seen in recent years, it's all one giant act of self-immolation.

00:20:14.360 And you know, the, the attitude, the, um, the NIMBY attitude, uh, not in my backyard,

00:20:21.500 that attitude gets a, it's, it gets a bad rap, but it's actually inappropriate attitude. That's

00:20:27.940 how everyone should feel like not in my backyard. I don't want that here. If you live somewhere,

00:20:33.220 then that's how you should feel about where you live. And yeah, I mean, ideally you don't want bad

00:20:38.760 things to happen anywhere, but if they're going to happen, you don't want them to happen in your

00:20:41.760 backyard. Um, you live somewhere and you don't want the community where you live to turn into a 0.97

00:20:48.180 cesspool. That makes sense. That's a healthy attitude. But the attitude you see on display

00:20:52.520 in any of these writing videos is the opposite. It's like, yes, in my backyard, I, yes, I want my

00:20:57.860 own community to be the worst place on earth. Yes. Let's ensure that let's, let's chase out all the 0.99

00:21:05.440 jobs and all the businesses and everything and, uh, and, uh, and, and, and leave us with nothing

00:21:12.600 and then complain about food deserts. That's a good plan.

00:21:20.320 And again, the temptation is to say, well, okay, have it your way. But the reason I can't fully

00:21:24.340 write it off that way and go about my day is first of all, the people, uh, you know, actively and

00:21:30.140 deliberately destroying their own communities won't take any responsibility for it. Of course,

00:21:33.920 they do everything they can to make their neighborhoods so awful, as awful as possible.

00:21:39.080 And then they blame everybody else for it. Like I just mentioned the food, like looting,

00:21:45.500 finding all the stores around and restaurants and places that provide grocery stores that provide

00:21:50.160 food, robbing them, looting them, destroying them, and then turning around and saying, it's a food

00:21:56.840 desert. Why won't anyone come here and, and open up business and sell food? So there's the

00:22:03.440 refusal to take responsibility, but, but mainly the main point here, as I've said before, is that I

00:22:08.800 want, you know, I want justice. I value justice. Most people do. Normal people do. And that's why

00:22:16.360 when we see videos like this, uh, even though it's happening in a community that we don't live in,

00:22:21.380 and even though most, even though most of the people in those communities either voted for it

00:22:25.280 and chose it that way, or are actively participating in it, so you don't have a lot of sympathy for them,

00:22:30.780 still it makes us mad. And it should make us mad because we want justice. We want these thugs to

00:22:36.300 be punished because we value justice. And we also know how easy it would be to put a stop to this.

00:22:43.180 It's incredibly easy. Like you could do two things. Okay. First, you can explicitly empower

00:22:48.800 businesses to protect their property with lethal force if necessary. That's what I would do. If I was

00:22:53.780 in charge, um, I would say to business, the first thing I would do is say to business owners, listen,

00:22:59.120 your business is your livelihood. It's your life. It's your children's lives. Um, mobs of hooligans 0.93

00:23:06.720 who come in to ransack your business, they're putting your life at risk and, and they have no

00:23:11.460 right to do that. So feel free to act in self-defense. I'm going to give you a lot of leeway.

00:23:17.640 Okay. You, you do what you feel you need to do when those people come in there, uh, looking to,

00:23:24.740 to, to steal all the, all the liquor off the shelf, do what you feel you need to do.

00:23:29.700 And we're not going to second guess you. That's one thing you could do. And, and then the looters

00:23:36.380 would know that they're putting their lives, they're putting their own lives at risk. 0.98

00:23:39.940 And some of them are so dumb, they do it anyway, but a good portion of them, you know, 0.97

00:23:44.940 they're going to think, uh, it's not worth that. The other thing you can do is you can take, 0.99

00:23:49.940 you can take, uh, one of these videos and you can, because I know they're going to tell us,

00:23:55.380 in fact, we saw, we read in the article that 20 people were arrested. The police are very proud

00:24:00.020 of themselves. We arrested 20 people. Well, 20 people, why wasn't it like 200 people? Why didn't

00:24:05.700 you arrest all of them? Is really the question, but, um, it's, it's not so much arresting them.

00:24:12.540 It's what happens after. So you can arrest people all you want. And even arresting 20 people,

00:24:18.140 that might be enough. Actually, if you've got 200 people looting and you arrest 20 of them,

00:24:23.760 that might be enough depending on what happens to them after you arrest them. And the problem is

00:24:30.340 that most of the time you arrest them and then they're back on the street, literally the next

00:24:34.360 day. And they never, they never spend one day in prison. So what you could do is you could look at

00:24:41.240 these videos and you could identify, you know, maybe it's just 20 people and, uh, you arrest them

00:24:47.560 and then you put them in prison for 20 years. It doesn't matter how old they are. It doesn't matter

00:24:54.560 who they are. It doesn't matter their age. Charge them all as adults. I don't care. It's a 17 year 0.58

00:25:00.240 old doing it. You're getting charged as an adult. Um, and you just completely destroy their lives.

00:25:05.980 You make an example of them. You're just, okay, you, you, you know, you did this. Now you're going

00:25:12.480 to be in jail until you're 40. Congratulations. I hope that handle of vodka was worth it to you.

00:25:18.280 Your life is basically over now. And then, uh, and you pass down the sentence and you get the

00:25:25.340 video of them weeping and wailing as the judge tells them that they're going to be in prison for

00:25:28.840 20 years. And they start crying about it and saying, Oh, I did was, I just took one thing.

00:25:33.380 Um, and then you spread that video around and make sure everybody sees it. Then you make an

00:25:38.000 example out of them. And then guess what? Most of these people, um, they're not going to think

00:25:43.000 it's worth it to go in and grab that bottle of liquor. It's not worth the price. Some of them

00:25:47.820 still will. And then you give them even harsher sentences. And that's what you do. If you're serious

00:25:54.440 about justice, if you're serious about maintaining order, if you're serious about how, if you want to

00:25:59.520 have a civilization, that is what you do. Um, but the people in charge want the opposite. So that,

00:26:07.460 that's the problem. Like everything I'm saying is incredibly obvious. Uh, and it doesn't even

00:26:12.060 really need to be said because the people, it's not like the people in charge, they know this.

00:26:16.040 They know that everyone, the, the law enforcement, the courts, um, and I put the, and this is more on

00:26:24.160 the courts than it is law enforcement because law enforcement, they can't, you know, they can arrest

00:26:26.920 you, but they can't do anything about what happens afterwards. So the people in charge,

00:26:31.700 the court system, they know all that they, they know that they could easily put an end to all of

00:26:35.920 this. Like overnight, they could do it, but they don't want to because this is, this is the world

00:26:42.220 they want us all to live in. All right. This is from NBC news. In the most recent episode of Dax Shepard's

00:26:50.740 podcast, armchair expert, Jonathan Van Ness broke down in tears while defending the rights of

00:26:55.340 transgender kids. Shepard and Van Ness engaged in a lighthearted conversation about a range of topics

00:27:00.580 before they began talking about the New York times. When Van Ness said the publication should

00:27:05.040 not be considered left-leaning, Shepard responded with, it absolutely is. Van Ness then said the

00:27:10.100 publication shares anti-trans content. After the two went back and forth on the topic, Shepard said,

00:27:16.620 some people are very uncomfortable about teenagers transitioning. They're challenging that. How do we

00:27:20.680 know that that person's not going to change their mind? Shepard said to even question,

00:27:25.460 it makes you an enemy. I don't think that's the way forward. And first of all, who is Jonathan Van

00:27:30.220 Ness? Does anybody know? Not that it matters. Jonathan Van Ness is a hairstylist. Okay.

00:27:39.340 And TV personality. And so he's on this, this podcast. This is going viral. This, this conversation

00:27:45.600 going back to the article says, Van Ness said that it felt like they were talking to their dad.

00:27:49.560 They then went on to discuss how transgender athletes do not have the competitive advantage

00:27:53.520 that some claim they do. Shepard responded by asking whether the inclusion of transgender

00:27:59.660 athletes is safe or fair for cis women in the sports. The two then discussed the topic for over

00:28:04.720 20 minutes. Okay. First of all, if you're confused by the way that this article is written, and it's not

00:28:11.540 just because you have no idea who this Van Ness guy is. Well, the reason you're confused is that Van

00:28:15.740 Ness identifies apparently as non-binary, which means of course, that when you speak about him

00:28:20.740 or you write about him, you have, you have to speak and write in a way that's completely incoherent

00:28:25.760 and impossible to understand. So, I mean, this sentence, Van Ness said it felt like they were

00:28:32.220 talking to their dad. They then went on to discuss how transgender athletes do not have 1.00

00:28:36.360 the competitive advantage that some people claim they do. Okay. So you've got the word they that

00:28:43.620 appears in those two sentences three times. And based on the way language works, this would

00:28:49.980 mean that Van Ness and Dax Shepard are brothers because they have the same dad. That's what the

00:28:56.160 sentence, they were talking about their dad. It sounded like they were talking about their

00:29:01.440 dad. And then they went on to talk about something else. Based on the way language works, that means

00:29:08.640 that they have the same dad. They were talking about their dad. So both of them, them, the two of

00:29:13.280 them are talking about their dad. They have been their brothers. Dax Shepard and this guy

00:29:18.040 are brothers. Well, but they're not, they're not brothers because in one sentence, they refers

00:29:25.700 to a single individual. And in the very next sentence, it refers to both people. Now we used

00:29:30.740 to call this bad writing and incorrect grammar, but now we just call it affirmation. As for everything

00:29:40.280 else, first, there's the claim, um, by Van Ness that trans women, men don't have a competitive

00:29:48.320 advantage. And he actually laid this out recently in an Instagram video. Uh, and I want to listen

00:29:53.200 to, to some, we only need to listen to the first piece of this, but go ahead and play that.

00:29:56.960 Let's talk about transphobia in sports. There's so many conversations around trans inclusion in

00:30:03.080 sports. We have state houses all over the United States that are passing bills to, uh, make sure

00:30:07.760 that no trans kids are allowed to play sport at any level in their state. And I just think that this

00:30:12.680 is a huge travesty. The science that we have now says that transgender women do not hold an unfair 1.00

00:30:18.300 biological advantage over, um, cis women. So that's what the science says. But let's just say,

00:30:24.600 you know, now what so much of the rhetoric is as well, if someone has gone through a male puberty,

00:30:29.920 um, and they've ever experienced that male puberty, then they will always be,

00:30:33.920 they will always be unfair to play women's sports and we have to protect women's sports. So we can't 1.00

00:30:38.360 have anybody who's experienced a male puberty in women's sports if it's a trans woman. So, okay,

00:30:42.760 let's say, let's say that that's true, even though the science does not support that, but let's say

00:30:46.480 that that is true. So now though, we have in dozens of States in the United States that have outlawed

00:30:51.840 gender affirming care for trans kids. So if there was a young trans girl who say, who let's say

00:30:57.600 wanted to be a figure skater or a gymnast or a golfer or whatever the hell, she wouldn't be able

00:31:03.080 to access the hormone blockers that would make it so that she would not go through a puberty.

00:31:07.400 Okay. So do you see how?

00:31:08.480 All right. Shut up. Just, just, uh, every part of that is just from the very beginning, everything 1.00

00:31:12.820 that he's saying is, is just, is a total lie. And, uh, and I know that, you know, you,

00:31:18.800 you might watch a video like that with a guy like that and think, well, who, I mean, this guy,

00:31:22.660 no one's listening to this guy. No one's, who cares what he's saying? That is no,

00:31:26.300 obviously this guy probably has an IQ of 65 and who cares, but people do listen. I mean,

00:31:32.720 parts of the, one of the big cultural problems that people do listen to a guy like this,

00:31:35.480 you know, he's got a lot of Instagram followers. People listen to that. They hear a claim like that

00:31:39.100 and they believe it all the, so from the very, very beginning, well, they're, they're trying to pass

00:31:43.300 laws, uh, ensuring that trans people can't play sports at any level. That law doesn't exist

00:31:49.680 anywhere. Literally no one anywhere has passed or even proposed a law like that. Such a law has

00:31:57.900 never been discussed. No one is saying that we should pass a law banning trans identified people

00:32:04.320 from playing in sports. What if there's a trans girl who wants to be a figure skater? He can be a

00:32:09.160 figure skater. No one's stopping him. Nothing is changing at all. Trans identified people can

00:32:17.640 play sports at any level. The only difference is that you, you just play according to what your sex 0.98

00:32:25.680 is. You, you, you play according to what biological category you belong to, which is just no way of

00:32:30.360 saying that trans identified people are simply being expected to follow the same program and the

00:32:35.360 same rules that everyone else is following and has followed since forever.

00:32:39.160 Um, and then we hear that there's that, Oh, the new science. Did you know that?

00:32:45.640 Well, you know, the science now says that quote unquote trans women don't have an advantage. Oh, 0.99

00:32:49.500 really? The science says that there's new science has just dropped. Did you know that?

00:32:55.840 Yeah. It's the hottest new thing on the streets right now. This new science that just came out,

00:32:59.300 some new science came out and it apparently it turns out that everything we thought we knew

00:33:04.440 about the, the biology of the sexes is wrong. According to the science, can he quote any of

00:33:12.180 this science? Can he explain it? No, he can't. Cause it's just not, it's total nonsense. Just making

00:33:17.360 it up. And this is what they do. So this is what he brought into the conversation with Dak Shepard.

00:33:23.700 Uh, and then he started crying and, uh, uh, and here's a clip of that.

00:33:28.500 99% of kids who want to play sports, like aren't trying to go to the Olympics. Right. Honestly,

00:33:32.340 I just, I wanted to come like chat about my podcast. Like other, we're going to do that.

00:33:36.620 We're going to do that. I did not intend at all to get into a debate with you about this. I didn't

00:33:40.720 want that at all. I adore you. I think you're hysterical and talented and I love that you're an

00:33:44.800 activist. I could just like cry. Cause I'm like so tired of having to like fight for little kids

00:33:50.840 because they just want to be included. I wish that people were as passionate about

00:33:55.820 little kids being able to like be included or grow up as they were about fictitious women's

00:34:02.020 fairness in sports. I have to tell you, I am very tired. Yeah. I'm sure you are passionate about

00:34:08.640 little kids. Uh, you're tired. I'm so tired. He says, this is what these people do. They lie about

00:34:16.320 everything. They're totally full of about everything, uh, everything, nothing they say

00:34:21.960 is true. Uh, they advocate for the most horrific things imaginable. I mean, what he's actually

00:34:27.540 defending is the butchery of children, castration, sterilization of children. It's not just,

00:34:31.700 it's not just indefensible. It's among the most indefensible things in the world.

00:34:36.320 Okay. You know, trying to defend this, it's like, it's like defending cannibalism. I mean, it's,

00:34:40.960 it's, it's defending outright barbarism and he pretends that he wants to protect kids. He does

00:34:48.500 the whole think of the children routine, but all he's thinking about is how he wants, he wants them 0.99

00:34:53.440 sterilized and mutilated. I just care about the children so much. He says when, when he wants to

00:35:02.500 them physically abused, all of that. And then rather than defend it because he can't defend it,

00:35:08.980 he starts crying because all these people have is lies. Well, are lies and emotional manipulation.

00:35:17.920 That is the whole tool shed. Every tool in the shed lies and emotional manipulation. This is the

00:35:25.860 whole routine. Every time say a whole bunch of nonsense. And then when someone slightly pushes 0.98

00:35:30.300 back, I'm so tired, I don't want to talk about this anymore. Tired of what, what the hell have you

00:35:36.700 gone through in your life? Tired? Like, look at you, you in every way have the appearance of a man 0.99

00:35:45.740 who has never experienced even one moment of bullying or persecution in your entire life.

00:35:52.800 The fact that you can run around calling yourself non-binary and dressing the way you do and carrying 0.99

00:35:58.160 on the way you do, it's a pretty good indication that there, that, that a lack of affirmation and,

00:36:03.120 and a lack of support, these are not your problems. Your problem is very much on the opposite end of

00:36:11.320 that spectrum. And then you have Dax Shepard who, once again, I mean, how many times have we seen

00:36:17.780 this exact thing? We just played, uh, we had the clip from Trevor Noah, the Daily Show clip that was

00:36:22.980 going viral last week. We played, we played it and it was the same, the same thing where you have

00:36:28.780 someone like a relatively normal person who understands that this is all crazy and, and like

00:36:38.620 sort of very meekly, very gingerly, uh, cautiously pushes back a little bit.

00:36:47.700 And then the other person starts crying and doing that whole routine. And then, and then they,

00:36:51.580 they back away. Oh, nevermind. I, I, I, I'd love, you're so amazing. I love you so much.

00:36:56.980 Everything you say is actually correct. Nevermind. Uh, nevermind. I, I reject all of

00:37:01.340 science and biology and reality and stuff. I reject reality itself for your sake because

00:37:05.140 you're crying. I don't want you to cry. That's why it just doesn't work. I've been saying this

00:37:10.520 all along. It doesn't work. Trying to be gentle and trying to be nice and polite. It doesn't work.

00:37:16.720 I wish it did. Okay. If, if, if it was possible to be nice, I prefer to be nice and polite. I mean,

00:37:23.400 it might not, it might surprise you to learn that I prefer to be nice and polite. If I can be,

00:37:27.380 I'd much rather be that way. If I, if I can, it doesn't work with these people. You can't,

00:37:34.240 there is no nice, polite way to approach it. And that's why I've been, I've been shouting this from

00:37:41.340 the rooftops for years and, and, and slowly, but surely people started to understand

00:37:47.940 that when dealing with the left in general, but especially on this issue, trans, LGBT,

00:37:55.240 transing the kids, that whole world of issues, being nice and polite just doesn't work. 1.00

00:38:03.400 They will eat you alive. If that's how you try to approach it,

00:38:08.560 eat you alive in their way by being pathetic cry bullies. 0.99

00:38:12.320 The only attitude that works is just look them in the eye and say, everything you're saying is 1.00

00:38:18.460 nonsense. Here's why. And then they start crying and say, I don't, I don't care that you're crying.

00:38:21.820 I'm so tired. This is making me cry. Oh, good. Okay. What are you crying for? You're pathetic.

00:38:27.680 Like grow up. You're a grown man sitting over there crying. Cause we're having a, we're having a 1.00

00:38:31.500 debate. The hell kind of person are you? That's disgusting. It's, it's repulsive to me that 0.99

00:38:36.560 you're, that you're responding that way.

00:38:37.760 That's what Dak should have said. There's no way you have, if he would have said that,

00:38:45.440 he would have earned at least one lifelong podcast fan in me. All right.

00:38:55.580 Let's see. One other quick thing before we get to the next segment.

00:38:59.120 Collider has this. So this is a, you know, I I've seen this story and I've been trying to get some

00:39:06.860 confirmation for it and I haven't, I don't know. I don't even know if this is true or not, but it

00:39:11.700 says over the years, it's been said that laughter is the best medicine in the modern world. Okay.

00:39:16.240 I don't need any of that. Who cares? I don't need to read that. The article is basically that

00:39:19.820 they're, they're coming up with a reboot of the office. That's the claim anyway. So I've seen this

00:39:23.460 reported it's all over the headlines that they're doing a reboot of the office. And then I've tried

00:39:30.480 to, not that I've spent a lot of time researching this very important topic, but I've wondered where

00:39:34.800 is that coming from? Who said that they're doing a reboot? And I haven't quite found that, but

00:39:38.660 that's the claim anyway. It's not, it's not a big shock because, because of course, as we know,

00:39:45.420 Hollywood has completely run out of ideas. I mean, that didn't happen recently. They've,

00:39:48.640 they've been running on fumes. They've been running on creative fumes for really decades

00:39:53.680 now. And so now they want to reboot the office, which doesn't make any sense on multiple levels.

00:40:02.420 And the first level where it makes no sense is that the office is already a reboot. There's

00:40:08.360 the UK office. And then it was, and then that, that show ended. And that, that was a show that

00:40:15.300 actually knew how to, you know, like tell the story, get the jokes across and then get out.

00:40:22.520 That was two seasons, uh, two seasons of the original office was two seasons long.

00:40:27.580 And each, I think each, each season was like six episodes. Like there's like 12 or 30 episodes total

00:40:32.260 for the whole show. Could have, could have kept going, but, uh, they said, we've told the story.

00:40:37.380 We don't need to keep going. There's, there's not a whole lot else to say here. We got the point

00:40:40.480 across and then it was rebooted with the office. And, uh, that was funny for three and a half

00:40:45.520 seasons. And then it just fell off a cliff and it kept going for another six seasons or something.

00:40:50.220 And, uh, and now they want to do, and then they already had offshoot like parks and recreation.

00:40:54.140 So they had kind of like these, these sort of offshoot related cousin type shows. And now they want

00:40:58.780 to reboot. They want to reboot the reboot. Um, but of course the main reason why this is a terrible

00:41:05.240 idea is that as, uh, many people have pointed out, I'm certainly not the first, but a show like that

00:41:13.780 simply just can't exist in modern society. Now it can exist, like some of these shows, they can be

00:41:20.600 and films and things, they can be sort of grandfathered in because they already are there

00:41:26.060 and they're part of the zeitgeist and they're part of the culture. And so, you know, and so they're

00:41:32.080 allowed to continue sort of existing in memory, but, um, there's just no way that something like

00:41:39.960 that could be made, could actually be made now. You couldn't do it. It's like a movie, like a Mrs.

00:41:46.580 Doubtfire or something. Yeah, that that's out there. No one has circled back to cancel it yet.

00:41:52.100 Uh, lots of people in the nineties when they're growing up, saw that movie.

00:41:56.180 Could that exact movie be made now? No, hell no. A movie where the whole joke

00:42:01.500 is that a guy's dressing up like a, like a woman. It's like, it's funny. We're laughing at him. 0.89

00:42:08.080 Which is, which is, you know, back historically, you know, if Hollywood had a plot line where a guy's 0.97

00:42:15.280 dressing up like a woman, it was always, that's ridiculous. It's crazy. Let's laugh at it. This is 1.00

00:42:21.580 like a, it's a clown. This person's a clown now doing this for our amusement. So you can't do that 0.99

00:42:28.040 anymore and, uh, you can't have the office anymore because they're telling jokes that are related to

00:42:33.160 race and ethnicity and sexual orientation. And, you know, everyone's kind of, Michael Scott's the

00:42:38.040 butt of the joke, but everyone's kind of the butt of the joke and you're having fun with all these

00:42:41.500 different things and it just can't exist anymore. Humor cannot exist in this society, unfortunately.

00:42:46.480 Let's get to what's Walsh wrong.

00:42:52.460 This year has been unbelievably busy for me so far, but that doesn't mean I've neglected my

00:42:56.640 responsibility of stocking my swag shack over at dailywire.com slash shop. I'm out here pouring

00:43:02.440 blood, sweat, and tears into secret projects like Dancing with the Stars. And you probably

00:43:06.140 didn't even know that we sell candles now, but we do. Candles are not one of the special projects to

00:43:11.240 be clear, but don't let that stop you from getting the what is a candle candle with a sweet and

00:43:15.980 refreshing smell. It's exactly what one would imagine a candle probably smells like. There's

00:43:21.380 that and so much more in my collection. So head on over to dailywire.com slash shop.

00:43:27.420 Frederick Oscarson with a comment about the naked attraction, a full frontal new dating show we

00:43:33.880 talked about in the daily cancellation yesterday that is now coming to HBO Max. Well, it's on HBO Max

00:43:40.120 right now. And unsurprisingly, I'm not a fan of the fact that this show exists. I don't think that

00:43:47.520 it should. Frederick says with also an unsurprising comment, you're a typical American prude. Stay 0.63

00:43:54.220 with politics and the gender problems. It's a fun show to watch. Been airing here in Europe for a long 0.98

00:43:59.200 time. It's not the Stone Age anymore. I think that last comment is pretty funny because

00:44:05.480 it's not the Stone Age. So what is this, Frederick? To you, this is a sign of cultural advancement

00:44:15.500 and sophistication. A show where you take naked people and put them in boxes and then have someone 0.77

00:44:22.460 else standing there and judging each body part. Judging the faceless body parts of naked,

00:44:31.360 nameless people to decide who you want to copulate with. That to you is a, well, that's a sign of,

00:44:39.220 well, it's not the Stone Age anymore. It's a modern society. That's how advanced we are. This is

00:44:42.940 advancement. I mean, the funny thing is that it's actually quite barbaric and primitive.

00:44:48.460 You know, it's deciding on a mate that way by just assessing their naked body. They don't even 0.90

00:44:55.600 have a face or a name. I mean, it's a lot of things, but I would also call it like pretty savage

00:45:01.180 and primitive and barbaric. And then, uh, yes, it's, you're a prude. So this, it's also funny to 0.99

00:45:07.820 see the way that the, uh, prude, uh, goalpost has moved over, you know, through the years.

00:45:15.320 So you're always, you're always, uh, if you just, if you, what, what we find is that if you try to

00:45:21.320 draw the line anywhere at all, then you're always just a prude, which is interesting to me. 0.87

00:45:29.440 Bob Mack says, in full disclosure, I'm black, but conservative. MW is my favorite cultural critic

00:45:34.020 bar. None 99% agree, but not here. Three brothers minding their own business are provoked by an idiot

00:45:39.620 with a fake gun gets beat up when these guys become insatiably enraged. Manslaughter is fair. 1.00

00:45:45.320 Tom says on the same case, the case of Ethan Liming, which we started the show with yesterday.

00:45:50.600 Tom says, uh, the men shouldn't have stomped Ethan to death, but he definitely deserved a whooping.

00:45:57.340 Well, at least you would say they, at least you agree they shouldn't have done that. Yeah,

00:46:00.240 they shouldn't have stomped him to death. Yeah. You think so, Tom?

00:46:05.060 One, it's a crime of passion in my opinion. Two, you don't know what liquid could be in those pellets.

00:46:09.360 And three, play stupid games, win stupid prizes, don't shoot people with stuff. And this never happens. 1.00

00:46:14.380 Look, first of all, even if you were to argue that manslaughter is fair for the reasons that are

00:46:22.820 laid out here, that they were mad, um, they didn't get convicted of manslaughter. That's the point.

00:46:30.100 Manslaughter was a down, they originally, they originally charged with murder and then it was

00:46:33.280 downgraded to manslaughter and they couldn't even get convicted of that. They, so if I agreed with,

00:46:38.460 with both, with everything that Bob and Tom are saying here, if I agreed and say, oh, it's a crime

00:46:43.980 of passion, it's manslaughter, they didn't get convicted of that. They beat someone to death, all three

00:46:51.160 of them, and didn't, the fact that he died is not factored in to the conviction. They were just convicted

00:46:59.420 of assault. So, in other words, if they had beat, if they had just come up and punched him in the face

00:47:06.040 and told him to knock it off, and then he was fine, he just had a bloody lip or something and

00:47:11.260 went about his day, they went about his day, you know, they both went about their days, that would

00:47:14.980 be assault. And so, you know, the charge would have been the same. Basically, what we're being told

00:47:22.420 is that the fact that he was killed and stomped on while lying on the ground is not even relevant,

00:47:29.620 which is crazy. And I also have to say that, look, call me old-fashioned. I am from the Stone Age,

00:47:38.700 remember. But I don't think the fact that you're angry is in and of itself an excuse or necessarily

00:47:49.460 even a mitigating factor when you beat somebody to death. Like, I'm sure that you were angry. I don't

00:47:56.980 think that you beat someone to death unless you're angry. But I don't see that as an excuse,

00:48:01.280 and I don't see it really as a mitigating factor. The only thing that could justify what happened

00:48:07.420 is if they felt that their lives were in danger, and so they attacked him, you know, in their mind

00:48:14.480 in self-defense. And in the midst of the struggle, he sadly lost his life. And then if that were the

00:48:21.020 case, then I would say, look, yeah, I mean, you'd say to Ethan Liming, you provoked it,

00:48:26.200 you started it, you know, which is true. And they thought that, you know, they didn't know that it

00:48:32.320 was a fake gun. I mean, they thought that their lives were in jeopardy, and they defended themselves,

00:48:36.220 and this happened. But that's not the case. Remember, first of all, he's using a gun. I think

00:48:43.040 it's very relevant to note what the gun looks like. He's using a gun that looks like a Nerf gun.

00:48:46.720 It's very clearly a fake gun. It's not real. It's clearly a toy. And they also got hit with

00:48:52.340 the water pellet, so, like, they know that, you know, they know what's going on. And in any case,

00:48:59.780 when they go up, it's their right to confront him. At first, they kind of run away because they think

00:49:04.180 that they're under attack, and then they circle back, and they go after him. And that part of it,

00:49:08.700 okay, you know, the guy runs up, and he's shooting the water pellets at you. Confront him. You've

00:49:12.840 got everybody to do that. But then they just beat him mercilessly, and while he's on the ground,

00:49:18.500 they stomp on him. And to me, like, if anything should get you convicted of not just manslaughter,

00:49:26.740 but murder, it's that part of it. When the person is on the ground, and you start stomping them,

00:49:32.820 now we're well beyond self-defense. There's not self-defense anymore. Like, there's no such thing

00:49:37.360 as a stomp in self-defense. That means the person's on the ground already and fully, like,

00:49:43.140 at your mercy when you start stomping them. So that's not self-defense or anything close to it,

00:49:51.040 and that has gone way beyond what could be justified as, you know, anger, passion. That is just, like,

00:49:58.120 gratuitous, and now it is you want to inflict as much damage as you possibly can on this now

00:50:05.840 defenseless person just for the sake of it. And they should be in jail for the rest of their lives.

00:50:15.380 This is another, you know, example of a time when an example should be made of somebody.

00:50:20.420 Because you see this all the time in these videos that unfortunately circulate on Twitter and other

00:50:24.880 social media platforms where people are being randomly assaulted, and you always see this.

00:50:30.940 It's a very familiar move now. Someone's getting assaulted. They end up on the ground,

00:50:34.540 and then the stomping starts. Like, just kicking someone in the head while they're on the ground.

00:50:40.900 The court should come down very hard on that. You kick somebody in the head when they're on the 0.98

00:50:45.060 ground, you're going to jail for a long time. But that, again, is if you actually cared about 0.95

00:50:50.240 justice and law and order, which they don't.

00:51:15.620 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:51:23.420 Today we go back to the Atlantic, which has recently become very fertile soil for the daily

00:51:28.300 cancellation. Last week we had to cancel a woman who wrote an article for the publication trying

00:51:31.800 to explain why nobody should care about a woman's body count. And today we have a not entirely

00:51:36.860 unrelated subject, this time written by a woman named Annie Lowry. And the headline poses a question,

00:51:41.820 which is this, is single parenthood the problem? Now, if I were the author, the text of the article

00:51:46.780 would be very short. In fact, it would be one word and the answer would be yes. Single parenthood is 1.00

00:51:51.980 the problem, or it is at least a problem, a very big one. But Lowry has more to say than that,

00:51:57.240 and not everything she says is wrong. She begins, quote, the most heavily anticipated economics book

00:52:01.840 of the year makes a radical argument. Having married parents is good for kids. I know, I know, 0.52

00:52:06.940 it seems like a joke, right? Of course, having two involved parents living in a stable home together

00:52:10.920 is good for kids. Anyone who has considered having children with a partner or was ever a child

00:52:14.680 themselves must know that. But for years, academics studying poverty, mobility, and family structures

00:52:19.280 have avoided that self-evident truth. The economist Melissa Kearney writes in the two-parent privilege

00:52:25.280 released this week, and while the wonks avoided the topic, the rise of single-parent households

00:52:29.820 in America exacerbated inequality and contributed to astonishingly high rates of child poverty.

00:52:35.960 Now, this part is all true, of course, but there's much more to say. In fact,

00:52:39.540 this is the whole story right here. It would at least make for a more interesting article in

00:52:44.140 The Atlantic, I would think. Everyone knows it's better for kids to be raised by two parents than

00:52:49.000 by one. That's how things are naturally set up. Every child has two biological parents. No child 0.72

00:52:55.800 has ever had one or three, only two, which is a pretty good indication that they are supposed to

00:53:01.860 be raised by two. And those two, just to be clear, are a man and a woman. This is the most natural thing.

00:53:09.840 Or I should say, it's nature in its elevated, civilized state. Now, in the animal kingdom, in most

00:53:16.240 cases, babies are conceived, the father runs off after copulation, and the babies are born and

00:53:22.660 they're raised only by their mothers, and usually only for a short time before they're out on their

00:53:27.060 own. So single parenthood becoming more common and accepted in human society is a sign that society 0.66

00:53:35.040 is devolving. People are behaving more like cats and crocodiles than human beings. Single parenthood is 1.00

00:53:41.980 literally animalistic. It's what you find in the animal kingdom. It's a family arrangement that you

00:53:48.380 can find in the forest or in the jungle or out on the Serengeti. It's not meant for human society.

00:53:55.640 We are not beasts. We are people. And we're supposed to raise our children, both parents,

00:54:00.580 father and mother. Now, obviously, we're speaking here on the broad societal level. Society devolves and

00:54:06.560 it becomes more animalistic when it accepts and promotes single parenthood as a positive good, 0.75

00:54:11.820 as equal to the nuclear family or even better than it. Now, that isn't to say that obviously

00:54:18.260 every single parent themselves has done something wrong necessarily. If a child is raised by one

00:54:22.860 parent because the other parent died, for example, then that's a situation where you have no choice

00:54:27.000 but to make do. And those parents deserve a lot of credit and a lot of respect. The same for a

00:54:31.840 situation where a child is raised by one parent because the other abandoned the family. The one

00:54:36.560 who has left is, uh, is now the one who left the family and abandoned the family is acting like an

00:54:42.120 animal. The one who is left is doing the best they can to compensate. The trouble is that many kids are

00:54:48.020 being raised in single parent households because both parents are irresponsible and selfish or because

00:54:53.960 the single parent chose to break up the family for no good reason. This is why the universal celebration

00:54:59.340 of single moms as if they're all victims put in a difficult spot through no fault of their own

00:55:03.760 has always been horribly misguided. Now, some of them are victims who are put in a difficult spot,

00:55:09.280 uh, through no fault of their own, but certainly not all and probably not the majority.

00:55:15.440 But as the author notes, the so-called experts, the academics, the economists, the, uh, the, uh,

00:55:20.560 college professors, the politicians, and so on have for many years ignored or outright denied

00:55:25.040 these basic realities. It's just one of the, uh, one of the great, uh, many basic realities that

00:55:30.500 these people have tried to cover up or distract us from. They tie themselves into pretzels to try

00:55:35.240 and explain why it's good actually for kids to have only one parent raising them instead of two.

00:55:40.320 They try desperately to pretend that all family arrangements are equally valid, equally good,

00:55:44.200 equally likely to lead to well-adjusted children who can thrive as functional adults in society.

00:55:48.820 On this topic, as on so many other topics, the experts use their alleged expertise to lead society

00:55:54.820 deeper into confusion and self-destruction. And now they have the gall to complain that people no

00:56:00.440 longer trust the expert class. Well, how can we trust them? You know what I mean? They've only been

00:56:07.140 horrendously wrong about everything my entire life. They've only tried to tear human civilization apart

00:56:12.420 at the seams. Other than that, they've earned our trust. And we could spend longer analyzing all this,

00:56:18.580 but the author moves on and we get to this part, quote, but it is worth asking what good comes

00:56:23.180 of pointing out that many people could use a cohabitating partner and that many kids could

00:56:27.680 use a second involved parent. Kearney has written an important, careful book on a topic that is an

00:56:32.600 elephant in the room. As she puts it, still, I'm not sure anyone has any idea what to do with the

00:56:37.680 elephant. Kearney's own research and the research of other scholars convinced her that the rise of

00:56:41.640 single parenthood wasn't important and overlooked social phenomenon, a key to understanding the

00:56:45.820 country's low rates of mobility and high rates of poverty. Well, I have to say, no, it was not

00:56:52.920 overlooked. Okay, the problem of single parenthood was not overlooked. It was overlooked by the

00:56:59.140 Atlantic, perhaps, and by the rest of the mass media, and by those experts we talked about a moment

00:57:04.080 ago. But some people, the social conservatives specifically, we've been talking about this and

00:57:08.880 warning about it for decades. It wasn't overlooked by us. It's just that we have been shouted down and

00:57:15.860 ignored for decades. Now the people who ignored us are slowly but surely coming around to the

00:57:21.000 realization that we were right about this, like we are right about literally everything. Okay, the social

00:57:26.500 conservatives have been right about every cultural issue since forever. We've been right about

00:57:33.700 everything. We are always right. Always. It's just that, you know, and eventually on every topic,

00:57:41.720 eventually the experts come around and they say, you know, I think maybe it should be this way instead.

00:57:48.100 But they won't acknowledge that we were right. They're always coming around to the realization that

00:57:52.500 we were right, but they never say you were right. Because they want to continue to demonize the very

00:57:57.900 people who arrived at the conclusions 50 years ago that they're just arriving at now.

00:58:04.700 In any case, the article continues laying out more of the economic and social problems that come with

00:58:08.640 single parenthood. And most of what it says, again, is correct. But then we get to the final paragraph,

00:58:12.840 which says this, quote, the real elephant in the room, I think, is that the United States doesn't

00:58:18.080 want to contemplate, let alone create, a policy infrastructure that supports single parenthood.

00:58:23.500 It doesn't want to make sure that kids thrive with a single earner in the home. It won't do this,

00:58:27.640 even though it seems obvious that a large share of children are going to grow up with one parent going

00:58:31.640 forward. And even though we aren't realistically going to increase the marriage rate among lower

00:58:36.180 income Americans, we don't want to build a society where children are seen as a collective gift and a

00:58:41.400 collective responsibility. It's not single parenthood that's failing these kids. We all are.

00:58:46.560 No, it's single parenthood that's failing them. We aren't failing the kids. Okay. What's this we

00:58:54.960 stuff? Speak for yourself. I can speak for myself at least because we includes me and I'm not failing

00:59:02.400 them. If there's a child in a single parent home across the street because the mom had sex with some 0.61

00:59:07.700 random guy outside of marriage and they both had no interest in marrying in order to create a stable

00:59:11.480 home for that child, then that child has been failed, but not by me. If he's in a single parent 0.89

00:59:19.080 home because the mom got bored with her marriage and decided to rip the family apart so that she 1.00

00:59:23.160 could go off and find herself or whatever, then again, the child has been failed, but not by me.

00:59:29.240 And if he's in a single parent home because the dad is a deadbeat who ran out on the family,

00:59:32.780 then once again, that child has been failed, but not by me and not by you and not by us and not by we.

00:59:41.480 The child's mother failed him, or his father failed him, or in most cases, they both failed him.

00:59:47.720 100% of the failure comes from some combination of the mom and the dad. Now, as always, the left

00:59:56.680 wants to remove personal responsibility from this conversation and from every conversation, but you

01:00:00.740 can't because ultimately there is no solution to the single parent problem outside of adults making

01:00:07.880 better choices. If they will not make better choices, then nothing will get better. That's the

01:00:13.820 reality. All we can do, if the rate and volume of bad choices doesn't change, then all we can do is

01:00:21.400 try out, try our best to deal with the mess that these selfish jerks are creating. And some of that 0.99

01:00:27.720 will involve policy changes, yes, but the policies should not be tailored to support single parenthood.

01:00:32.400 Rather, the policy should encourage and promote marriage and two-parent households.

01:00:38.140 We've done more than enough to support single parenthood. Too much, in fact. We need to support

01:00:43.660 two-parent households in order to eventually have fewer of the kinds of households that are creating

01:00:48.200 all of these problems. Are children a collective gift? Sure. Are they a collective responsibility?

01:00:56.500 I mean, yeah, in a broad sense, but there is a hierarchy of responsibility for each individual.

01:01:04.200 And your responsibility starts closest to you, and it branches out from there.

01:01:08.940 This means the first responsibility you have is to your own family, your own children.

01:01:15.800 You cannot go out and be reckless and irresponsible and then expect society to take care of you and your

01:01:21.860 kids. Because society is comprised of individuals, and each individual has a list of priorities,

01:01:28.200 and neither you or your children will ever be at the top of it. That's not because they're selfish.

01:01:33.820 It's because they have their priorities straight. And they have to take care of their own families 0.97

01:01:37.960 first. That's how it's set up. So it's up to you, first and foremost, to make sure that your

01:01:43.840 children have what they need. And what they need, first and foremost, is a mom and a dad in the home.

01:01:48.740 So society can't provide that, and the government can't provide it. Only you can. And that has to

01:01:56.260 be the first step. Annie Lowry of the Atlantic seems to get close to this realization, but she

01:02:01.420 doesn't make it all the way, because these people never do. And for that reason, she is today canceled.

01:02:08.500 That'll do it for the show today. Thanks for watching. Thanks for listening. Have a great day. Godspeed.

01:02:18.740 What a great day.
