The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1232 - Media Celebrates Absurd Charade Of Women Playing Football Against Men

00:00:00.060 Today on the Matt Wall Show, the media celebrated this weekend as multiple women suited up to play against men in college football.

00:00:06.000 In one case, a tiny blonde woman was put on the field to play defense. 1.00

00:00:09.360 Have we finally reached the point where girl power is going to get women killed? 1.00

00:00:12.920 Yes, we have. Also, another GOP debate. 0.93

00:00:14.860 We'll talk about the best moments and the worst moments, but mostly just the worst moments. 0.96

00:00:18.240 In our Daily Cancellation, a school district in Minnesota showed its staff a video comparing white people to blood-sucking, disease-infested insects.

00:00:25.480 All in the name of equity, of course.

00:00:26.960 We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.

00:00:30.000 What the heck did I even learn and what was the point?

00:01:00.000 You might think to yourself that you don't have time to learn something new, and if that's you, then know this.

00:01:04.780 You're not alone, and it's not too late.

00:01:06.640 Since 1844, Hillsdale College has been providing education in faith, freedom, and character.

00:01:11.560 They've taken some of the core classes they teach on campus, and they've made them available for free online for anyone who wants to learn.

00:01:17.420 That's right. It is free.

00:01:18.620 There are 39 free courses to choose from, ranging from the U.S. Constitution, the Book of Genesis, to free market economics.

00:01:25.720 They're easy to follow, and they're self-paced, so you can start whenever you want.

00:01:28.520 In fact, you can start right now.

00:01:29.860 It's everything that you need all in one place with no long-term commitment.

00:01:33.760 Let Hillsdale College be your guide.

00:01:35.760 Learn when and where you want.

00:01:38.240 You can't lose.

00:01:39.060 Go right now to hillsdale.edu slash walsh to enroll.

00:01:42.100 There's no cost.

00:01:43.480 Easy to get started.

00:01:44.260 That's hillsdale.edu slash walsh to register.

00:01:47.460 Hillsdale.edu slash walsh.

00:01:49.420 One of the many joys of watching sports these days is that you get warmed-over, ham-handed, leftist politics thrown in your face all the time.

00:01:57.800 And it is a great joy.

00:01:58.740 The NFL has printed the words, end racism in the end zone for several years now, for example.

00:02:03.320 It apparently hasn't worked yet because the message is still there.

00:02:06.560 Or maybe racism is solved, and they just forgot to remove it.

00:02:09.560 I don't know.

00:02:10.200 In any event, the NFL isn't alone.

00:02:11.760 The U.S. Open just plastered equal pay propaganda all over the court. 1.00

00:02:15.340 Major League Baseball even had BLM stencil on the mound for a while there. 0.51

00:02:19.420 And so on.

00:02:20.220 And it's so pervasive and so on the nose that it's enough to make you give up on professional sports entirely.

00:02:26.400 On Saturdays, you might find yourself taking a hard look at, say, third-rate Division III college football games instead.

00:02:32.840 You might think, surely all the social engineering won't be on display there at that level, right?

00:02:39.000 How much of this insanity could have possibly filtered down into a game that no one's watching?

00:02:43.140 Like the matchup between, I don't know, say, Shenandoah University and Juniata College from last weekend.

00:02:50.820 If you've ever found yourself, you know, thinking along those lines, unfortunately, though, we have some bad news.

00:02:55.760 Even the D-list football games, including the game between Shenandoah and that other school that I can't pronounce,

00:03:02.980 have become yet another opportunity for corporate media to tell you that 2 plus 2 equals 7.

00:03:09.060 They are more grist for the leftist ideology mill that has its tentacles everywhere now.

00:03:13.580 So here's the Today Show to explain the significance of Shenandoah's recent, highly anticipated game that only five people watched.

00:03:22.340 Watch.

00:03:22.600 We're back, 7.38, with some inspiring history that was made in college football over this weekend.

00:03:28.900 Yeah, for the first time ever, a woman played in an NCAA game at a position that was not kicker.

00:03:33.360 Her name is Haley Van Voorhees, and we cannot wait to talk to her.

00:03:36.760 But First NBC's Kaylee Hartung has her amazing story. 0.99

00:03:39.500 Kaylee, good morning.

00:03:41.040 Hey, good morning, guys.

00:03:42.220 So after more than two years on our college football team without seeing any game action,

00:03:46.700 Haley told me she felt like she was in a movie when she stepped on the field Saturday.

00:03:50.500 Inspiring history was made.

00:03:54.100 An amazing story.

00:03:55.440 Now, it's important to stop the clip there to note a couple things.

00:03:57.460 First of all, they got the facts wrong.

00:04:00.360 Not that anyone's keeping track.

00:04:02.000 But Haley Van Voorhees was not, in fact, the first female non-kicker or punter to play in an NCAA game. 0.60

00:04:08.840 That honor went to cornerback Taylor Crout, who played a game for Fitchburg State earlier this year.

00:04:14.720 Nobody remembers that because Crout managed to make one, quote, assisted tackle before leaving the game.

00:04:20.040 But as long as facts matter, which they clearly don't because the point of this segment is to advance a fraudulent narrative anyway,

00:04:25.240 still, we'll just throw that out there.

00:04:27.100 More to the point, there's another unanswered question, which is this.

00:04:30.980 How does NBC News know that Haley was, in fact, the first female playing in a non-kicking role in a game?

00:04:37.120 And pretending that she actually was that, which she wasn't.

00:04:39.580 But if a female is anyone who thinks they're a female, and that's the standard we have to accept or else we're transphobes, 0.59

00:04:46.040 then how do we know that dozens of other brave females aren't playing college football right now? 1.00

00:04:50.620 How do we know that women haven't already been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame?

00:04:56.460 Has anyone checked with Dick Budkis or Ray Lewis to see if they still identify as men?

00:05:01.740 When the left talks about homosexuality in contexts like this, they usually use the term openly gay.

00:05:06.400 So they'll say that so-and-so was the first openly homosexual person to play football or whatever.

00:05:11.180 But in this case, they're not using that terminology.

00:05:13.520 They're not talking about openly female or openly woman players here.

00:05:18.460 They're not saying that Haley is the first openly female non-kicking player.

00:05:22.940 They're just flat out declaring that she's the first female player and the first woman.

00:05:27.400 I mean, it's almost as if the left knows that those words have meaning,

00:05:30.940 and every now and then they accidentally admit it.

00:05:34.380 I don't know.

00:05:34.780 But back to this history-making game.

00:05:38.880 Let's take another look at why everyone is pretending to celebrate what Haley did.

00:05:43.740 Here's the sum total of her contribution to that game.

00:05:47.560 Watch.

00:05:48.780 The 5'6 safety came into the game with Division III Shenandoah up 26 points against Juniata College,

00:05:55.640 registering a quarterback hurry on the way to a Shenandoah win.

00:05:59.200 Did that quarterback know what or who hit him?

00:06:02.900 I've had some people come up to after the game until I take my helmet off.

00:06:06.240 They're like, dude, I didn't know you were even a girl.

00:06:10.580 So, first of all, I'm pretty sure they do know.

00:06:14.640 And notice that she doesn't answer the question there.

00:06:17.460 Did the quarterback know what or who had hit him?

00:06:19.580 And her response is, well, I've had people come up to me and tell me they didn't know I was a girl.

00:06:22.320 So, this is just speculation, of course, but maybe she's dodging the question because the quarterback knew exactly what had happened there.

00:06:29.180 And maybe he let her know about it.

00:06:31.380 I mean, this woman just ran at him, totally unblocked, and then for some reason decided to cling on to him long after he threw the ball to his receiver.

00:06:38.000 And eventually, after a couple seconds, she drags him to the turf, almost like it's happening in slow motion.

00:06:43.420 Now, in any other context, if you don't know anything about football, what you saw in that play there, that is a roughing the passer penalty worth 15 yards.

00:06:50.420 And it's so clear that if it was a man making that same play, a ref who, for some reason, was standing in the end zone 80 yards away would throw that flag.

00:06:59.940 There would be flags falling out of the sky everywhere if, in a situation like that, where the receiver's already caught the ball and is in the process of being tackled, and you are still trying to tackle the quarterback.

00:07:13.100 That's 15 yards and maybe an ejection from the game, potentially.

00:07:17.820 But that didn't happen to this woman because none of the refs wanted to interrupt the girl power moment here, and neither did anyone else watching it. 1.00

00:07:25.840 So, everybody just pretended that they had seen something really impressive.

00:07:28.220 And here's how the Washington Post described the footage that you just saw.

00:07:31.620 Quote, she got through and managed to hit Juniata quarterback Calvin German an instant after he had released the ball on what became an incomplete pass. 1.00

00:07:40.280 An instant, they say.

00:07:42.440 Really, several seconds.

00:07:44.160 What's the difference, really?

00:07:45.180 I mean, in football, the difference is quite a lot.

00:07:47.680 And they say she managed to get through by simply running straight at the guy, unblocked.

00:07:53.240 Now, for his part, sports journalist Dove Kleiman said that this was a groundbreaking moment in college football history.

00:07:59.420 He said, quote, Haley Van Voorhis entered the game during the first quarter, immediately leaving her mark with a QB hurry on a crucial third down play. 0.95

00:08:09.020 And to be clear, again, if you're not familiar with football, just so you know, her team was up 26 to nothing at the time of this crucial third down play in the first quarter.

00:08:16.740 They ultimately won the game 48 to 7.

00:08:20.480 There are no crucial plays in a game that ends 48 to 7, especially not in the first quarter.

00:08:27.080 But who's counting?

00:08:28.360 In fact, there wouldn't have even been a camera crew from ESPN watching this game at all if they didn't think that this gender angle might come into play. 1.00

00:08:35.320 But she was put in the game as ESPN expected. 0.99

00:08:38.180 And so now we're all supposed to imagine that this was really a momentous movie-like moment.

00:08:42.780 So here's how the Today Show played up Haley's tackle. 1.00

00:08:48.120 Not a QB rush, but a tackle.

00:08:49.740 In their words, watch.

00:08:51.940 To me, it was just a big moment to be able to crush my own goals and then make a statement for just the football community and, you know, show that women can play the game at whatever level that may be. 0.99

00:09:04.140 So here's where they start to lay the propaganda on a little too thick and they introduce an idea that isn't just stupid, it's dangerous. 0.97

00:09:12.460 Saying, quote, women can play the game at whatever level. 1.00

00:09:16.620 The NBC anchorwoman agrees and says that later that Haley is overcoming stereotypes that are, you know, held by, I guess, a bunch of troglodytes who don't, quote, think women can play at this level.

00:09:26.680 Now, before I get into the implications of that, which could very soon lead to a lot of dead women on football fields, it's important to understand the scope of the problem here.

00:09:36.240 This is not a one-off incident.

00:09:38.120 College football teams are increasingly promoting the idea that women and men can play at the same level and can be on the field in a violent combat sport together.

00:09:48.460 Also last weekend, a woman named Leilani Armenta was handling kickoff duties for Jackson State and there were a couple of injuries, so the coaches put her in.

00:09:59.720 And this is for their matchup against the powerhouse players for Bethune-Cookman.

00:10:04.560 And here's how her kickoff went.

00:10:07.100 Watch this.

00:10:08.420 And here's the story of the day right there.

00:10:10.660 That is Leilani Armenta, and she's going to play and she's going to kick off and maybe even do some field goals tonight for the Jackson State Tigers. 1.00

00:10:20.440 Of course, she was on the Jackson State women's soccer team, and because of injuries this week during practice, she's going to get her shot tonight to be a kicker.

00:10:32.040 And what an impressive young lady has been and a chance for her, and I'm sure she's pretty nervous at this point.

00:10:36.780 But they have her out there, and sweat football is underway. 0.88

00:10:43.220 Oh, Lord.

00:10:45.320 First of all, if you turn on a football game and you hear, this is the story of the day right here, and when they say that, you're looking at the kicker doing a kickoff,

00:10:56.860 and that already tells you, even if it's a man, that tells you this is a very boring game.

00:11:00.060 If the story of the day is the guy doing kickoffs, and if it's the woman doing kickoffs, then it's even worse. 0.53

00:11:06.280 So the ball goes 25 yards, which is, and I'm not just trying to make fun of her, it's the kind of kicking that you see on a bad high school JV team.

00:11:15.220 Like, it's that level.

00:11:16.080 In fact, it's worse than that.

00:11:18.360 Now, a lot of people went on social media to suggest that maybe it was a bad idea to have a woman attempt this kickoff, 1.00

00:11:23.100 because it's kind of an obvious point to make.

00:11:26.880 And also, by the way, that is dangerous, too.

00:11:29.880 It's not like this is a non-contact position, necessarily, on a kickoff, especially if you're really bad at doing kickoffs.

00:11:38.140 There's a pretty good chance that the other team's going to have a return,

00:11:40.780 and then you're going to be in a position where you've got a 6'6", 200-plus pound guy running with a full head of steam right at you,

00:11:49.120 as the kicker. 0.98

00:11:52.160 But again, sports journalists, maybe the dumbest and least original form of journalist on the planet, 0.98

00:11:56.940 which is really saying something, jumped into action. 0.95

00:11:59.120 So here's how one local reporter named Bradley Davis responded to all the haters online

00:12:04.340 who had an issue with that objectively terrible kickoff.

00:12:08.560 Watch.

00:12:09.580 All right, now, before we go, we need to talk about what happened last night after Leilani Armenta

00:12:13.660 took the field for Jackson State as the first woman to play in a D1 HBCU football game.

00:12:18.560 Now, just like any time a woman does anything in a male-dominated sport, 1.00

00:12:21.700 the social media warriors, they made sure we all knew that there was a man who could have done it better,

00:12:25.720 and it was just a publicity stunt to take advantage of when the other kickers got hurt.

00:12:30.260 Now, first of all, if you think T.C. Taylor, a true son of Jackson State,

00:12:34.160 who's waited years to get this opportunity, wouldn't run out the player he thought gave his team the best chance to win

00:12:39.240 in his first-ever home game as head coach, man, you really haven't been paying attention.

00:12:43.560 Now, maybe it's just harder to do than you think it is,

00:12:46.100 and maybe you didn't take care to look beyond the surface.

00:12:49.060 Leilani played three years of varsity football in high school.

00:12:51.500 She made 98 out of 105 extra-point attempts in her career.

00:12:56.200 She also suited up when Coach Taylor called despite recovery from ACL surgery.

00:13:01.140 Maybe you chose to ignore that brace she had on her kicking leg.

00:13:04.340 So next time you get mad watching a woman play football because they could have found a man to do it better, 0.92

00:13:09.120 go out and kick 105 extra points.

00:13:11.400 Let me know how many of those you make.

00:13:14.040 Yeah, of course.

00:13:15.080 Oh, no, they just put her on the field because she gave them the best possible chance to win. 0.99

00:13:17.920 A woman with a brace on her kicking leg was the best person available. 1.00

00:13:23.540 There was no one.

00:13:24.740 We know that's not true.

00:13:25.460 You can just pick any guy on the team.

00:13:27.340 Pick a lineman and just put him out there to kick the ball,

00:13:29.920 and he would at least do as well as that or probably better.

00:13:35.200 And by the way, they had to go to the girls' soccer team to find a kicker. 0.95

00:13:38.280 Do they not have a guys' soccer team?

00:13:41.380 Now, this is not to pick on Bradley Davis.

00:13:42.820 He's obviously a smug guy out there saying what he has to say if he ever wants to advance in the industry of sports journalism.

00:13:48.660 This was his ESPN audition tape.

00:13:51.680 But it's worth noting that he's presenting an embarrassingly bad argument that's typical on the left.

00:13:57.700 First of all, there's no reason for Bradley Davis to be talking about this woman's extra point attempts in high school.

00:14:02.580 She wasn't kicking extra points in the clip we just showed you. 0.94

00:14:04.600 She was attempting a kickoff, which requires a lot more leg strength than an extra point to pull off. 1.00

00:14:08.480 And she completely failed, and she humiliated herself in the process of attempting that kickoff.

00:14:12.860 It's a pretty significant fact that Bradley Davis somehow forgot to mention, but let's just ignore that for a second.

00:14:17.760 The thrust of this smug reporter's argument is that, first of all, people are only criticizing her terrible kickoff because she's a woman.

00:14:24.000 But if you've spent even five seconds around any football fan anywhere,

00:14:28.800 you know that they will viciously criticize any player who screws up that badly.

00:14:33.660 A male kicker who only manages to send the ball 25 yards will certainly be mocked ruthlessly for it. 1.00

00:14:40.180 So if you want women to be treated like men, accepted into the boys' club and all that, 1.00

00:14:45.880 then it means that they will also be ruthlessly criticized for their failures,

00:14:49.360 because that's what it means to be treated like a man.

00:14:53.140 That's how we men operate.

00:14:55.000 That's how we treat each other.

00:14:56.680 If you screw up, we're going to tell you, and we're not going to be nice about it.

00:14:59.740 So if you really want to be, I'm part of the boys' club, okay, well, this is what it means.

00:15:04.680 You do a kickoff like that, and we are going to mock you endlessly. 0.77

00:15:10.200 Now, the reporter also says that unless you can kick extra points as well as this woman, then you should shut up. 1.00

00:15:14.680 You're not allowed to have any kind of opinion on this topic whatsoever. 0.88

00:15:17.220 What's impressive about this line of argument is what a massive, absurd straw man it is,

00:15:21.800 because no one is saying that any random guy off the street could necessarily beat this woman in an impromptu extra point competition,

00:15:28.020 only because she's been kicking extra points for years, and most people have never even tried to kick an extra point.

00:15:33.960 The point is that the best women football players at all positions are nowhere near as good as the best male football players at that position, 0.83

00:15:42.760 or even the 10th best male football player, or the 50th best, okay?

00:15:47.340 Like, you take a woman at any football position, at any level, and you will easily find the best woman,

00:15:56.100 the best woman at any football position, at any level, you will easily find 50, 100,

00:16:00.860 you'd find 500 male football players better than the best one at that position for a woman. 1.00

00:16:06.760 And even that is probably underselling it.

00:16:08.680 Now, we know that because there has never been a female player, this woman most certainly included,

00:16:14.220 who can outperform men at a high level of play in a sport like this.

00:16:17.640 We also know it because biology is real, and men have dramatically more upper and lower body strength than women.

00:16:24.040 This is why literally every time they trot out a woman to substitute for a male player in football, it's a catastrophe. 0.99

00:16:30.140 You may remember Sarah Fuller.

00:16:31.440 She made history as a female college football kicker a few years ago. 1.00

00:16:36.100 She kicked it something like 30 yards, so a little bit longer than this other woman. 1.00

00:16:40.260 And the media lied after the fact to claim that it was a planned squib kick,

00:16:44.380 even though it was a situation on the field where no team would ever intentionally squib the ball.

00:16:49.020 Now, in case you've forgotten about that historic kick, it's worth revisiting,

00:16:52.740 including the buildup beforehand, because it's truly a modern classic watch.

00:16:58.400 We are about to witness history in college football.

00:17:03.620 Vanderbilt Commodores coming back onto the field.

00:17:05.680 They will kick off to start the second half, and Sarah Fuller will kick off for Vanderbilt

00:17:10.840 to become the very first woman to compete in the Southeastern Conference in a football game

00:17:17.120 and a Power 5 football game.

00:17:20.440 And there she is, wearing number 32, her soccer jersey number,

00:17:24.120 and just six days ago was winning an SEC Soccer Tournament Championship in Orange Beach, Alabama.

00:17:31.280 And wouldn't you know it, history is on the field in Columbia, Missouri,

00:17:36.860 as Sarah Fuller is about to put her right foot into a football, 0.99

00:17:41.200 speaking volumes to women around the world.

00:17:47.900 Awesome, awesome moment.

00:17:49.140 You can hear the crowd.

00:17:50.000 Everybody understands what's happening right now.

00:17:51.900 This is a pretty cool moment.

00:18:02.220 And the kick down at the 35-yard line, and Sarah Fuller, happy Thanksgiving.

00:18:09.240 What a day.

00:18:10.680 What a day in college football.

00:18:14.560 What a day.

00:18:15.900 Now, notice how the crowd is really excited and loud, and then they see the kick,

00:18:19.280 and they just go silent.

00:18:20.220 They don't know what to do.

00:18:20.860 They don't know how to respond.

00:18:22.460 Meanwhile, the announcers continue to read their prepared lines like they just witnessed the moon landing.

00:18:26.940 What a day in college football, they declare, after witnessing the worst kick anyone would see

00:18:32.120 until the next time a woman kicked the ball. 1.00

00:18:35.080 It's impossible not to notice just how patronizing all this is, by the way.

00:18:38.240 Jackie Robinson is remembered and celebrated not just because he broke the color line,

00:18:42.420 but because he was a truly great player.

00:18:44.440 So when we talk about Jackie Robinson, we're not saying, wow, look at that black player trying his best.

00:18:49.300 Isn't it cute?

00:18:50.560 No, he actually earned the respect that he gets for his plays, one of the all-time greats.

00:18:55.080 But as the media desperately tries to find their female Jackie Robinson, it never works like this. 0.67

00:19:00.840 The girls are laughably awful, and everyone can tell they don't deserve to be on the field. 1.00

00:19:05.020 It turns out that unlike the color line, the gender line exists for a very legitimate reason.

00:19:11.680 Now, Sarah Fuller's historically awful kick was only a few years ago. 1.00

00:19:14.520 Now we've already gotten to the point where a college football team

00:19:17.160 actually put a five-foot, six-inch blonde chick on the field to play defense. 1.00

00:19:24.220 When the Sarah Fuller thing happened, people like me said that this is where it was headed,

00:19:28.380 and everyone assumed we were joking.

00:19:29.860 A couple years later, they're actually doing it.

00:19:33.260 Now, fortunately for her, the other team didn't pull a guard over to make a block with a head of steam,

00:19:37.680 knocking her in next week.

00:19:40.080 When women are on the field, the players so far have been playing along 1.00

00:19:43.240 and kind of letting her have a Rudy moment, but it's not going to stay like that forever.

00:19:47.660 Eventually, one of these guys will treat one of these girls like a football player, 1.00

00:19:51.560 and it's quite possible that we'll see a death on the field because of it.

00:19:55.460 And then what's going to happen is the male player will be demonized

00:19:58.720 and have to live with the trauma the rest of his life

00:20:01.020 when really it's the fault of the school and the media that valued girl power

00:20:04.380 over the safety of the players.

00:20:06.860 This will happen.

00:20:08.380 Even in this modern woke era, the football field is still a place

00:20:11.480 where very big and fast men violently clash.

00:20:15.000 You keep throwing women into that mix, 1.00

00:20:17.680 it won't be long before something very bad happens.

00:20:20.700 Which is why in a sane society,

00:20:22.820 women would be banned from competing against men in violent sports like this.

00:20:26.620 And in the past, you know, no such rule was necessary

00:20:29.180 because nobody was crazy enough to actually put a woman on the field.

00:20:32.780 Now people are that crazy, and so we need policies that reflect that reality.

00:20:37.480 But nationally, of course, everyone is ignoring the reality.

00:20:39.980 Colleges and corporate media are insisting with a straight face

00:20:42.040 that women should be playing football with men. 0.99

00:20:45.220 And if you ask any questions about this,

00:20:46.720 sports reporters will lecture you and call you a bigot.

00:20:48.780 This was always the inevitable result of the theatrical game of make-believe

00:20:54.300 that we're all supposed to take part in.

00:20:56.280 The underlying message, as always, is that men and women are exactly the same,

00:21:00.400 no difference, but everyone knows that isn't true.

00:21:03.960 And one thing we've learned time and time again

00:21:05.560 is that eventually, one way or another, reality always reasserts itself,

00:21:10.720 especially on the football field.

00:21:12.300 And when it does, you're not going to like the result.

00:21:17.400 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:21:24.800 I'd like to give a shout-out to all those people whose job it is to hire,

00:22:08.380 Again, that's ZipRecruiter.com slash W-A-L-S-H.

00:22:12.800 Okay, the GOP debate was last night.

00:22:15.680 I didn't watch the whole thing.

00:22:17.160 I can't imagine why anybody would watch the whole thing these days.

00:22:19.280 I mean, you can always go and find the important parts after the fact.

00:22:22.440 So there's no reason to endure the whole uncut, unedited charade.

00:22:26.700 And you all know how I feel about debates.

00:22:28.780 I hate them.

00:22:29.660 I hate the way they're conducted these days, at least.

00:22:33.260 I think, in theory, presidential debates and primary debates could be great,

00:22:40.080 could be quite informative and interesting and edifying.

00:22:44.040 But they aren't because they're conducted in a way 0.56

00:22:47.400 that is specifically designed to make them useless and pointless.

00:22:52.080 And really, they're conducted to give the moderators opportunities to show off.

00:22:59.900 The way debates are done now, it's not even about the candidates.

00:23:03.200 It's about the moderators.

00:23:04.960 Because every debate is hosted by a cable news channel or a network news channel.

00:23:10.500 And all they want to do is promote themselves.

00:23:12.360 That's all they care about.

00:23:13.860 And that was definitely on display last night.

00:23:16.140 So who won the debate?

00:23:18.120 Well, DeSantis performed well.

00:23:20.260 Definitely a solid B-plus performance.

00:23:22.020 The question is whether DeSantis, for him,

00:23:25.460 whether anything outside of an A-plus is effectively an F at this point.

00:23:30.060 Because he needs big moments.

00:23:32.360 Not just solid moments, but he needs big, big moments to close the gap.

00:23:38.740 But either way, it was a good performance.

00:23:41.700 Nikki Haley, there are some people that are saying that she performed well.

00:23:44.300 I thought she was annoying. 1.00

00:23:45.220 And half of the people on the stage shouldn't have been there to begin with.

00:23:50.920 If you're going to have Doug Burgum on the stage, you might as well have me.

00:23:55.500 I have a significantly better chance of becoming president than Doug Burgum.

00:24:00.600 But the problem is that these debates are really just forums, of course,

00:24:05.280 for talking points that we've already heard a million times.

00:24:08.040 And for these kind of rehearsed punchlines, these things that are, it's never in the moment.

00:24:15.360 It's never spontaneous.

00:24:16.780 We're not seeing anybody's wit and intelligence put on display.

00:24:22.600 Because that would be something.

00:24:24.780 Just because somebody has wit and intelligence doesn't mean that they necessarily deserve to be president.

00:24:29.180 But it's an important quality for a president to have.

00:24:31.960 And so if we could actually see that put on display, that would be something.

00:24:36.920 But we're not seeing that.

00:24:38.000 They go in with certain lines that their team has given them and their consultants and everything.

00:24:43.580 They say, oh, you've got to get this line in there.

00:24:45.440 This pulls really well.

00:24:47.880 And then they deliver it.

00:24:49.480 And it's always incredibly clear.

00:24:51.880 They can never even make it sound natural.

00:24:53.800 You can always tell.

00:24:54.520 Like, you can tell even before the line, like whatever clever line that they were fed by their consultants and they were told this will go viral.

00:25:03.180 This will be a good one.

00:25:04.800 Before they even get to the line, you know that it's coming because they're kind of, they're winding up.

00:25:09.120 There's this wind up before they get to the line.

00:25:12.940 And Chris Christie is kind of notorious for this.

00:25:17.940 And here is his big line that he wanted to go viral, going after Donald Trump.

00:25:25.300 Let's watch that.

00:25:26.860 And Donald Trump should be here to answer for that, but he's not.

00:25:29.920 And I want to look at that camera right now and tell you, Donald, I know you're watching.

00:25:33.080 You can't help yourself.

00:25:34.580 I know you're watching.

00:25:35.920 OK, and you're not here tonight, not because of polls and not because of your indictments.

00:25:41.400 You're not here tonight because you're afraid of being on the stage and defending your record.

00:25:46.700 You're ducking these things.

00:25:48.620 And let me tell you what's going to happen.

00:25:50.020 You keep doing that.

00:25:51.280 No one up here is going to call you Donald Trump anymore.

00:25:53.180 We're going to call you Donald Duck.

00:25:54.960 All right.

00:25:55.760 I want to ask the governor to say.

00:25:57.980 He's so impressed with himself after he says that.

00:25:59.840 We're going to call you Donald Duck.

00:26:01.880 You hear that?

00:26:02.960 You guys hear that?

00:26:05.240 You guys catch that?

00:26:06.020 Donald Duck?

00:26:06.900 Because he's ducking and his name is Donald.

00:26:10.660 You know.

00:26:12.720 Yeah, like the cartoon character, Donald Duck.

00:26:14.880 You know that guy?

00:26:15.520 That's what I'm saying.

00:26:16.080 This guy's like.

00:26:16.700 He really thought Donald Duck was going to land.

00:26:22.080 And it wasn't just him.

00:26:23.040 We can't just blame him.

00:26:24.440 These politicians, they don't have any thoughts in their head.

00:26:26.200 They have no original thoughts.

00:26:27.360 They don't think anything.

00:26:28.120 They have nothing. 1.00

00:26:28.520 They have no brain at all. 0.99

00:26:29.540 So they're just given. 0.97

00:26:31.440 So they had someone came up with this.

00:26:34.240 And that person didn't come up with it either.

00:26:35.680 Actually, that person didn't come up with it.

00:26:36.680 They probably saw it on Twitter or something.

00:26:38.800 They saw a meme calling Donald Trump Donald Duck.

00:26:41.160 And they said, that's a good one.

00:26:41.960 We got to give that.

00:26:42.840 And this is what he came up with.

00:26:46.000 And I mean, it's not going to work anyway.

00:26:49.520 Like, first of all, this is the classic mistake that many failed opponents of Donald Trump have made over the years where they try to do the nickname thing that Trump does.

00:27:03.880 But it never works.

00:27:05.080 It never works to try to out-Trump Trump.

00:27:07.220 You know, you'd think everyone would at least understand that by now.

00:27:09.780 You can't out-Trump Trump.

00:27:11.040 And there are things that Trump can get away with that other people can't.

00:27:15.560 And one of them is like the corny nickname.

00:27:17.400 All of Trump's nicknames for other people, they're always corny. 0.87

00:27:20.000 They're corny as hell.

00:27:21.600 But he makes it work because it's just a Donald Trump thing.

00:27:25.620 He can do that.

00:27:27.420 It's not going to work for you.

00:27:28.780 You can't do that.

00:27:29.560 So if you are going to throw the nickname in, don't make it the whole punchline.

00:27:34.320 Like, throw it in at the beginning and then have something else.

00:27:38.000 Maybe you make it work there.

00:27:39.100 So maybe if he had said, listen, Donald Duck, let me tell you something.

00:27:42.120 And then he had gone on to say something else.

00:27:45.880 You know, maybe it kind of works.

00:27:49.220 But when you set it up and everything is leading to that moment.

00:27:53.420 And he's even set it up as a threat.

00:27:55.460 He's like, if you don't do it as I say, here's what's going to happen to you.

00:27:59.040 I'll tell you what's going to happen.

00:27:59.960 Get ready for this.

00:28:01.120 Something real bad is going to happen to you.

00:28:02.760 Here it is. 0.91

00:28:04.480 I'm going to call you Donald Duck.

00:28:07.360 That's not the setup.

00:28:08.200 There's too much setup for a line that is not strong enough to hold that kind of weight.

00:28:15.360 But at least that line was better than this from Nikki Haley, who had a little comeback for Vivek Ramaswamy. 0.72

00:28:22.620 Let's watch that.

00:28:23.140 This is infuriating because TikTok is one of the most dangerous social media apps that we could have. 0.97

00:28:31.280 And what you've got, I honestly, every time I hear you, I feel a little bit dumber for what you say.

00:28:35.660 Because I can't believe that here you've got a TikTok situation.

00:28:40.640 What they're doing is these 150 million people are on TikTok.

00:28:44.360 That means they can get your contacts, they can get your financial information, they can get your emails, they can get text messages, they can get all of these things.

00:28:51.960 This is very important for our party.

00:28:53.820 China knows exactly what they're doing. 0.97

00:28:54.500 This is very important for our party.

00:28:55.680 And what we've seen is you've gone and you've helped China build, make medicines in China, not America.

00:29:00.440 You're now wanting kids to go and get on the social media that's dangerous for all of us.

00:29:04.980 You and you were in business with the Chinese that gave Hunter Biden $5 million. 0.90

00:29:08.280 We can't trust you.

00:29:10.320 We can't trust you.

00:29:11.420 We can't have TikTok and our kids live.

00:29:12.840 I think that we need to ban it.

00:29:14.620 Mr. Ramashwamy, you have 15 seconds.

00:29:16.940 I think, excuse me.

00:29:19.740 You have 15 seconds, Mr. Ramashwamy.

00:29:22.920 Thank you.

00:29:23.700 I think we would be better served as a Republican party if we're not sitting here hurling personal insults and actually have a legitimate debate about policy. 0.98

00:29:33.860 Okay, so every time I hear you, I feel dumber. 0.93

00:29:36.060 And the first problem is that that insult could really go either way. 1.00

00:29:40.740 So are you saying he's so much smarter than you that you feel dumb? 0.99

00:29:44.980 Like, do you mean you feel dumb in the way that I feel dumb when I listen to someone explain quantum physics? 1.00

00:29:52.200 Because you could read it that way. 0.91

00:29:54.780 And I think that Ramashwamy missed an opportunity for some kind of comeback like that.

00:29:59.760 I mean, of course, he goes, yeah, I mean, the safest thing is to go with, let's put the personal attacks aside.

00:30:04.340 But I don't want it.

00:30:04.720 It's personal attacks.

00:30:05.440 So it's not, that's the safest move.

00:30:07.220 You know, it's fine. 0.98

00:30:09.780 But he could have gone the other way and say, look, I'm sorry that you feel dumb. 0.97

00:30:12.660 Have you tried reading a book? 0.96

00:30:14.420 You know, I'm sorry you feel that way.

00:30:16.960 Could have gone that way.

00:30:17.920 But either way, this is just from Haley.

00:30:24.080 It's a cliched, childish line.

00:30:26.880 It's the kind of line that was clever on the internet in the year 2008, which ironically is the last election where a Nikki Haley candidacy would have been viable.

00:30:35.300 Which come to think of it, Ramashwamy could have also said that would have been a good line.

00:30:41.780 As for DeSantis, I thought his best moment was this one.

00:30:45.500 It's a small moment.

00:30:46.720 But his best moment came at the moderator's worst moment.

00:30:51.680 And now the setup for this question that will play for you, or it's not even a question.

00:30:58.400 The setup for this activity that they give the candidates is good.

00:31:02.500 The setup is good because the setup is that there are too many people in the primary.

00:31:08.540 There are too many people in the field.

00:31:09.880 So why are you all there?

00:31:11.960 That's a valid question.

00:31:13.200 Like when you've got someone who's still in the primary and they, you know, and if the vote was today, they would get 0.01% of the vote or whatever.

00:31:19.980 It's totally valid to say, why are you here?

00:31:21.640 What are you doing?

00:31:22.100 You're not going to win.

00:31:23.000 Stop.

00:31:24.260 Doug Burgum.

00:31:25.000 You're not.

00:31:25.360 Stop.

00:31:25.740 Oh, anyone could win.

00:31:26.580 No, not anyone can win.

00:31:27.440 You're not going to win.

00:31:28.000 We all know you're not going to win.

00:31:29.700 Okay?

00:31:29.980 You're just, you're not.

00:31:30.540 It's not going to happen.

00:31:32.380 So it's a valid question.

00:31:34.020 What are you actually doing?

00:31:34.880 You're obviously not going to win.

00:31:36.380 So what are you at?

00:31:37.420 Why are you here?

00:31:39.460 Why don't you drop out?

00:31:41.100 And if you, if you, especially in a primary like this, because if you're a candidate and if you think that Trump is the right nominee, if you think he's a good candidate, then why don't you drop out and rally around him?

00:31:53.700 Or if you think that he's a terrible candidate, then why don't you drop out and rally around the only guy who has even the slightest chance of beating him, which would be DeSantis?

00:32:03.660 So it's a good question, but they turned it in to a game show instead.

00:32:08.060 And here's how that went.

00:32:10.460 None of you have indicated that you're dropping out.

00:32:13.540 So which one of you on stage tonight should be voted off the island?

00:32:21.280 Please use your marker to write your choice on the notepad in front of you.

00:32:25.740 15 seconds starting now.

00:32:27.740 Of the people on the stage, who should be, I'm absolutely serious.

00:32:31.340 With all due respect, I mean, we're here, we're happy to debate, but I think that that's disrespectful to my fellow competitors.

00:32:37.420 Nobody wants to participate.

00:32:39.120 Let's do some questions.

00:32:40.520 Let's talk about the future of the country.

00:32:42.300 Now, the great thing is, that's the right answer from DeSantis.

00:32:47.900 And the great thing is you see, if you watch that clip again, you can see a couple of the guys.

00:32:51.500 Chris Christie was about to do it.

00:32:53.720 So he was told, write your answer like a child.

00:32:57.060 Write your answer.

00:32:57.640 Draw, write your answer and draw a little picture.

00:32:59.560 Draw, draw a picture of who you think shouldn't be on the stage.

00:33:03.140 And Chris Christie's like, he's grabbing the pen.

00:33:05.120 He's got it.

00:33:05.460 He's about, he's sitting down.

00:33:06.500 And he's about to write an answer down.

00:33:08.360 And then DeSantis says, we're not doing that. 1.00

00:33:11.120 That's stupid. 1.00

00:33:12.060 And then you can see Chris Christie put the pen down and say, that's dumb. 1.00

00:33:14.560 We're not doing that. 0.97

00:33:16.300 I wasn't going to do it anyway.

00:33:17.760 I wasn't even writing that.

00:33:18.680 I was writing something else.

00:33:20.020 I was just, I was writing a note to myself.

00:33:21.440 It just happened.

00:33:22.440 It's got nothing to do with what's happening here.

00:33:26.300 So that's good for him to say.

00:33:27.320 It's decisive, serious.

00:33:28.920 And you know what? 0.92

00:33:29.500 Because he's, the best part is he's smacking down our ridiculous media. 0.90

00:33:34.580 And that is when he's at his best. 0.89

00:33:36.060 It's a great moment.

00:33:37.820 It's a total embarrassment for Fox.

00:33:39.560 The whole thing was embarrassing for Fox.

00:33:41.980 Fox embarrasses itself every single day.

00:33:44.240 It's a joke of an organization completely.

00:33:48.260 But this in particular.

00:33:50.460 And you know, the thing is, a lot of people complain that Fox,

00:33:53.680 they said that Fox botched the debate because they were letting the candidates argue too much.

00:33:58.380 And it was getting out of control.

00:33:59.880 But the problem as always was the opposite of that.

00:34:02.680 The problem is always with, I will never complain.

00:34:05.140 If I watch the debate, I will never complain about hearing from the moderators too infrequently.

00:34:10.740 Okay, I'm never going to say that I want to hear from the moderators more. 0.67

00:34:13.780 If the moderators never said a damn word, if they just, that would at least be better than this.

00:34:18.560 If they just said, okay, you guys are all running for president. 0.91

00:34:21.400 Tell us why you should be president.

00:34:24.960 You have two hours.

00:34:26.060 And then they sat there.

00:34:27.040 And it's like, whatever happens, that would be better than what we do now.

00:34:30.020 So the real problem is that they injected themselves too much.

00:34:33.040 And for an example of that, I want you to watch this moment with Ramaswamy.

00:34:38.900 Watch.

00:34:39.700 10.7 million students in over 18,000 public schools nationwide have the ability to change

00:34:46.600 their identity without parental notification.

00:34:50.020 Governor Christie told Stuart last week that he would pass a federal law to protect parental rights.

00:34:54.620 Would you try to do the same?

00:34:57.360 I have to be very clear about this. 0.99

00:34:59.700 Transgenderism, especially in kids, is a mental health disorder. 1.00

00:35:03.880 We have to acknowledge the truth of that for what it is. 0.98

00:35:06.840 I met two young women early in this campaign. 0.97

00:35:08.800 On parental rights in school.

00:35:10.620 Parents have the right to know.

00:35:12.120 And you know what the hypocrisy of this is?

00:35:14.100 Even New Hampshire failed to actually get past a piece of legislation here.

00:35:17.940 The very people who say that this increases the risk of suicide are also the ones saying

00:35:23.320 that parents don't have the right to know about that increased risk of suicide.

00:35:27.640 And I'm sorry.

00:35:28.500 It is not compassionate to affirm a kid's confusion.

00:35:32.180 That is not compassion.

00:35:33.300 That is cruelty.

00:35:34.280 I met two young women, Chloe and Katie, early in this campaign, who are in their 20s, now

00:35:39.060 regret getting double mastectomies and a hysterectomy.

00:35:42.340 One of them will never have children.

00:35:43.800 And the fact that we allowed that to happen in this country is barbaric.

00:35:48.820 So I will ban genital mutilation or chemical castration under the age of 18.

00:35:53.660 And parents have absolutely the right.

00:35:55.320 Would you try to pass a federal law that says parents should have that right?

00:35:59.140 We are going to require states absolutely have to follow that through.

00:36:02.260 We stand for parental rights.

00:36:04.600 Okay, what are you doing? 0.96

00:36:07.020 Like, shut up and let him finish his thought for God's sake. 0.98

00:36:09.800 He's not dodging the question. 0.97

00:36:11.740 This is the opposite of dodging the question.

00:36:12.980 This is actually giving you more.

00:36:14.540 He's going, so if you're afraid of the transgender question, which plenty of candidates on that

00:36:19.840 stage would be and are, you're not going to answer. 0.98

00:36:24.940 And the first thing you're saying isn't going to be, transgenderism is a mental health disorder. 0.97

00:36:29.100 That's what you say if you're not. 0.96

00:36:30.460 You're actually trying to say more about the question.

00:36:33.980 And he's trying to say something important here.

00:36:36.660 And it's not dancing around the issue.

00:36:38.880 He's in the middle of trying to call for a federal ban on child gender transitions.

00:36:42.400 And that's something where you would think you let him talk and let him finish.

00:36:48.760 And then that's an interesting point of view for a president to have, right?

00:36:53.160 I mean, that's a big policy promise.

00:36:56.460 So let him say that. 0.99

00:36:59.920 Shut up for a second. 0.97

00:37:01.140 Let him say what he's saying. 0.99

00:37:03.540 He's running for president.

00:37:04.620 You're not.

00:37:05.280 We don't care about your opinion.

00:37:06.900 We care about his.

00:37:09.340 And then once he said that, then you could go to everyone else on the stage and let them

00:37:14.160 weigh in on that particular topic.

00:37:16.940 Which is more important, by the way.

00:37:20.880 The parental rights thing, it's important.

00:37:23.320 But if that's all you're talking about, it's a dodge.

00:37:25.760 When it comes to the trans discussion and gender transitions, if all you want to talk about 0.97

00:37:31.640 is parental rights, that is a dodge. 0.98

00:37:33.200 You are dodging the real issue.

00:37:35.640 Because it's not, parental rights, obviously important.

00:37:37.320 But it's, even if parents consent to it, is it okay to do this to a kid?

00:37:45.580 That's the real fundamental question.

00:37:48.160 Is it okay to do this to a kid, regardless of what the parents say?

00:37:53.220 If all you're doing is talking about parental rights, then what you're trying, what you're

00:37:56.180 implying is that, yeah, if the parents are okay with it, then go ahead.

00:38:02.340 So this is what the moderators do. 0.51

00:38:03.820 So, and so it was just, DeSantis wins, Fox loses, and the American people, for the most

00:38:09.500 part, don't care.

00:38:10.140 Because these debates, the way they're run, are pointless.

00:38:14.380 Which also makes it hard for anyone to actually win, because they don't really get a chance.

00:38:18.720 Like, there's not really an opportunity to have a real moment or to do anything interesting

00:38:22.780 or say anything important, because we see what happens.

00:38:24.800 You try to say something important and you get cut off.

00:38:26.520 But time's up, that's it.

00:38:27.520 Let's move on, next person.

00:38:31.940 All right.

00:38:32.420 One other thing, staying on politics for a moment, Ron DeSantis recently accepted a

00:38:38.340 debate challenge from Gavin Newsom.

00:38:41.000 DeSantis and Newsom are going to debate.

00:38:42.920 DeSantis, obviously, running for president.

00:38:45.160 Newsom is not yet openly running for president.

00:38:48.020 And I've heard different points of view on the DeSantis strategy here of accepting the

00:38:52.080 debate challenge.

00:38:53.900 Some people say it's smart of him to do it because it gives him some press, gives him a

00:38:57.660 chance to face off against a prominent leftist.

00:38:59.800 It also comes across like he's sort of in general election mode.

00:39:05.160 You know, it's kind of like this, in a way, this kind of presidential type debate.

00:39:10.680 And there's that view.

00:39:12.280 Others have said it's not a good idea because the whole thing is a trap.

00:39:16.280 And the people that have said that have had a point because one thing you have to realize 0.65

00:39:20.560 about Gavin Newsom is that the guy is a scheming snake. 1.00

00:39:24.200 But he's not an idiot. 0.99

00:39:26.220 And I think the right tends to underestimate this guy, just like the right does this with, 0.91

00:39:29.740 you know, anytime on the right, this is what we this is what we kind of lapse into, where

00:39:34.300 if we don't like someone, then we just want we want every insult to apply to that person.

00:39:39.580 And so we'll say it's like if we don't like a an actor, you know, if there's an actor,

00:39:43.420 we don't like Leonardo DiCaprio because he's a, you know, he's a climate change alarmist

00:39:50.100 going around on private jets and all that. 1.00

00:39:51.540 And he's a hypocrite. 1.00

00:39:52.400 And then you'll hear people on the right say, hey, he's a terrible actor anyway. 1.00

00:39:55.180 He's horrible.

00:39:56.880 No, he's a great actor. 0.84

00:39:57.980 He's one of the greatest actors of all time. 0.99

00:39:59.920 He's obviously a phenomenal actor, but he's also a hypocrite. 0.99

00:40:04.340 Um, and just like there are Democrat leftist politicians who are, who are horrible, they're 1.00

00:40:10.360 wrong about everything, but they're not all idiots. 1.00

00:40:12.680 Some of them are quite smart. 1.00

00:40:15.120 Um, they're not all like Trudeau.

00:40:17.120 Okay. 0.99

00:40:17.300 Trudeau is a, is a, is a, is a, is a bumbling doofus. 0.99

00:40:21.520 They're not all like that. 0.98

00:40:23.740 And Newsom is smarter than Newsom is really Newsom is Hillary Clinton if Hillary Clinton had 1.00

00:40:31.560 charisma.

00:40:32.020 So imagine how much more dangerous Hillary Clinton would have been if she actually came 1.00

00:40:37.240 across like a human being and could speak and could, you know, go back and forth with

00:40:41.580 someone and had a little bit of charisma.

00:40:43.280 She would have been much more dangerous. 0.99

00:40:45.660 Um, cause she had the scheming part down behind the scenes. 0.94

00:40:48.760 She didn't have any of the charisma and that was her undoing.

00:40:51.880 But Newsom has that, which, which means that this sort of thing was always going to be a

00:40:54.820 trap.

00:40:55.280 And yesterday he sprung the trap and, uh, here's what that looked like.

00:41:00.440 This week we learned that it's going to happen a debate between you and Ron DeSantis, November

00:41:06.660 30th, Fox News channel, Sean Hannity in Georgia without a crowd, uh, just the two of you.

00:41:12.660 Why are you doing that?

00:41:14.000 And what is your strategy?

00:41:15.200 Well, I, it's, I don't know if that's the right question.

00:41:17.620 Why is he doing it?

00:41:18.780 Is the right question.

00:41:19.600 He's running, I think, I'm not sure after tonight, but currently he's running for president

00:41:25.180 of the United States.

00:41:26.820 Um, do you think he's still going to be, do you think he'll still be a candidate at November

00:41:29.700 30th?

00:41:30.020 That's an open ended question.

00:41:31.300 Part of me wonders if, you know, uh, the fact that he took this debate, the fact that he

00:41:37.960 took the bait in relation to this debate shows that he's completely unqualified to be president

00:41:42.860 of the United States.

00:41:43.980 That's my humble first question.

00:41:44.980 Why is that you're baiting him with the debate off course?

00:41:47.040 I mean, why is he debating a guy who's not even running for president when he's running

00:41:49.860 for president?

00:41:50.440 He's showing up at the Reagan library, hollow ground, and he puts out an ad today, not for

00:41:55.120 his presidential campaign to promote a debate against the governor of California.

00:42:00.000 I mean, this guy's distracted, so I don't know that he has it in his heart.

00:42:04.420 I think here's my personal opinion about Ron DeSantis.

00:42:06.860 He regrets running for president.

00:42:09.000 He made a huge mistake.

00:42:10.880 He listened to his consultants.

00:42:12.800 He bought his own hype.

00:42:14.060 He had this little glad God complex.

00:42:16.860 I mean, look at the ads themselves.

00:42:18.140 Literally God created.

00:42:19.480 I mean, he bought into all this stuff and he quickly regretted it, but he's stuck.

00:42:23.960 And here's the problem.

00:42:25.280 You get one chance of first impression.

00:42:26.680 He's belly flopped.

00:42:27.860 He's down 30 plus points from where he started.

00:42:30.200 So it's a, it's a terrible situation for him.

00:42:33.640 Okay.

00:42:34.080 So this is the game.

00:42:35.060 Uh, you know, the narrative that DeSantis's opponents want to, uh, want to get across about

00:42:40.500 him is that he's flailing and he doesn't know what he's doing.

00:42:42.620 And also he's distracted and not paying attention, uh, to his, his real job as governor.

00:42:48.080 And so Gavin Newsom comes along and challenges him to a debate.

00:42:52.920 And then when he accepts it, Newsom turns around and says, see, he's flailing and he's distracted.

00:42:59.660 Um, it's a devious, deceitful, rather disgraceful tactic, but it's potentially effective.

00:43:09.100 Um, and when you have someone who's devious, deceitful and disgraceful, but also smart,

00:43:15.680 uh, that makes them dangerous politically.

00:43:20.040 And that's what makes Newsom dangerous.

00:43:21.480 You know, most politicians aren't going to do that.

00:43:23.400 What he, what you just saw there, most that's, that, that doesn't happen very often.

00:43:27.220 You're not going to hear a politician.

00:43:28.600 I don't think I've ever heard that before.

00:43:29.600 A politician challenge another one to a debate. 1.00

00:43:33.860 And then before the debate happens, say, yeah, I baited him and he's a moron for taking the bait. 1.00

00:43:38.460 What an, what an idiot. 1.00

00:43:40.240 Like that, that, that's most aren't going to say that. 1.00

00:43:43.520 And that's what gives Newsom an advantage.

00:43:45.780 And here's the other problem for DeSantis is that Newsom has, has a lot less to lose.

00:43:50.120 He's not running for president.

00:43:51.820 And, and I know, and I just said the other day that I, that I think there's a very good

00:43:54.540 chance he'll end up being the nominee when they push Biden out, but he's not running right now.

00:43:58.120 And even if he is the nominee, he's still not going to be running.

00:44:00.280 Like he's not going to run, there's no primary.

00:44:02.600 There's not going to be a primary race on the Democrat side.

00:44:04.980 It's not going to happen.

00:44:05.380 So either it's going to be Biden or they're, or they're going to push Biden aside and they're

00:44:09.000 going to, and there's going to be coronation for some other guy.

00:44:12.220 And, uh, so one way or another, Newsom is not running in a primary campaign.

00:44:17.260 It's not running right now, which gives him, which gives him right now a lot less

00:44:21.080 to lose because he's not in the middle of a political campaign and you are.

00:44:25.480 So you're squaring off against a smart guy, a scheming, devious guy, uh, an unethical

00:44:30.720 guy with, with less to lose and to make matters worse, more people will be on his side than

00:44:38.460 yours.

00:44:38.780 And that's because of course the entire left wing, you know, the entire left is going

00:44:42.540 to be on Newsom's side.

00:44:43.580 They're cheering for him and they're going to be incentivized to when this debate happens,

00:44:47.780 uh, you know, a small number of people will watch the debate.

00:44:53.180 Many more millions of people will see the clips.

00:44:55.860 And, and so the left is going to be very incentivized to find the clips where Newsom

00:44:59.680 comes off the best and, and spread those around.

00:45:02.460 And of course, uh, uh, uh, DeSantis' moments, good moments, they're not going to spread.

00:45:07.960 But then the problem is that on the right, because you're doing this debate in the middle

00:45:11.740 of a Republican primary, the right is fractured and they're not all on your side.

00:45:18.240 Every Trump fan is going to be, wants you to lose the debate because it's going to hurt

00:45:22.120 you and they want you out of the race.

00:45:24.640 So between the left and the Trump fans, you have, you have what remains on, on your side

00:45:29.080 for this debate, which is a minority.

00:45:30.780 And this is bad optics because that means that people are going to watch this debate and make

00:45:35.960 sure that every good Newsom moment is amplified while your moments are downplayed.

00:45:40.620 Um, it shouldn't be that way, but it is, it's just the political reality and you have to

00:45:48.300 operate within the political reality rather than ignoring it.

00:45:51.840 And already I'm saying a lot of, you know, DeSantis supporters online that were reacting

00:45:56.020 to this clip from Newsom and, and trying to pretend that it didn't just land a blow on

00:46:01.720 DeSantis, but it did like you can pretend it didn't, but it did.

00:46:06.080 And this is the problem with the DeSantis campaign since the beginning is that you've got a lot

00:46:10.220 of people who refuse to acknowledge the reality.

00:46:13.540 Okay.

00:46:14.040 It's like you're, you, if you want to have a successful campaign, you have to understand

00:46:18.120 political realities and operate within them.

00:46:21.740 That's what you have to do.

00:46:24.600 And so if you're a DeSantis supporter, all you ever do is say, oh, this is great.

00:46:27.420 Everything's great.

00:46:27.860 Everything's fantastic.

00:46:28.620 Everything is brilliant.

00:46:29.600 It's brilliant.

00:46:30.000 Everything's going well.

00:46:31.000 You're not helping.

00:46:32.180 What, what, what DeSantis should, as I've been saying forever, what DeSantis should be doing

00:46:37.920 is yes, going, squaring off against the, the, the left is great, but the media is who you

00:46:44.580 should be going after.

00:46:45.300 We saw that in the debate.

00:46:46.280 It was a good moment.

00:46:47.000 It's the best moment of the debate.

00:46:48.400 Proves my point.

00:46:49.000 I think you, you should be sitting down for interviews with news anchors and, and, and

00:46:55.680 going up against them, like trying to embarrass and humiliate them and discredit their whole

00:47:02.560 organization.

00:47:04.640 Okay.

00:47:04.960 You, like an interview where you're sitting across from an anchor, an MSC, NBC or CNN or

00:47:09.420 whatever, they'll all sit down with you because they want the ratings.

00:47:12.680 They know it's good ratings.

00:47:13.200 So sit down and just try to leave them a babbling mess.

00:47:17.540 Totally embarrassed.

00:47:19.860 That's what you should be doing.

00:47:21.040 Um, that, that, you know, rather than something like this against the guy who, who has no ethical

00:47:30.220 standards whatsoever and nothing really to lose and, um, and is a, is a, is a relatively

00:47:36.680 skilled debater.

00:47:40.080 Okay.

00:47:40.860 Let's get to was Walsh wrong.

00:47:46.200 You know, this year has been unbelievably busy for me so far, but that doesn't mean I've

00:47:50.100 neglected my responsibility of stocking my swag shack over at dailywire.com slash shop.

00:47:55.000 I'm out here blood, pouring blood, sweat, and tears into secret projects like dancing

00:47:58.680 with the stars.

00:47:59.680 You probably didn't even know that we sell candles now.

00:48:01.800 Candles are not one of the special projects to be clear, but don't let that stop you from

00:48:05.500 getting the, what is a candle candle with a sweet and refreshing smell.

00:48:09.320 It's exactly what one would imagine a candle probably smells like.

00:48:13.260 And that's the best thing I can say about this product.

00:48:15.500 It's a candle that smells like a candle and there's that and so much more in my collection.

00:48:20.980 So head on over to dailywire.com slash shop.

00:48:24.800 Uh, first comment says there's a debate tonight.

00:48:26.640 Not interested in that.

00:48:27.800 You should be making the case for RD and so should the DW.

00:48:30.800 You know, a criminal will be a disaster for the GOP.

00:48:32.940 This, that is more important than a random discussion on single mothers.

00:48:36.240 I always love comments like this telling me you're talking about this, but here's what

00:48:39.440 you should be talking about.

00:48:40.280 Okay, let me, uh, you'll tell you what, give me, uh, send me along your, your phone number

00:48:44.680 so I can text you.

00:48:45.400 I'll, I'll, uh, whoever you are, random commenter every morning when I'm deciding what's going

00:48:49.720 to be on the show, I'll text you and make sure it's okay with you.

00:48:52.580 I'll get the clearance from you.

00:48:54.440 Is that what you want?

00:48:55.040 It probably is what you want.

00:48:56.160 It, you know, it really is like, it is, it is exactly like me walking into a pizza place

00:49:02.320 and, and saying, you got to sell pizza here.

00:49:05.520 You should be selling Chinese. 1.00

00:49:07.420 You should be selling Chinese food here.

00:49:10.280 Hey, yes, I'd like a General Tso's chicken, please.

00:49:12.460 Well, we only sell pizza.

00:49:13.400 Well, you should have General Tso's chicken.

00:49:15.500 That's what you should be doing.

00:49:17.440 What do you mean should be?

00:49:18.500 What the hell are you talking about?

00:49:20.420 If you want chicken, uh, if you want Chinese food, go to a Chinese food place. 1.00

00:49:23.620 That's just not what we happen to be doing.

00:49:26.180 And on this podcast, uh, we do talk about politics.

00:49:28.880 I just talked about it quite, quite extensively, but it's not primarily a political podcast.

00:49:32.840 It's a cultural podcast.

00:49:33.960 That's just what the podcast is.

00:49:35.580 You can tell me it should be something else that doesn't mean anything to me.

00:49:38.600 So you want a political podcast, if that's what you primarily want to hear about, go

00:49:42.300 listen to someone who primarily talks about politics.

00:49:44.440 That's not me.

00:49:45.560 Okay.

00:49:45.800 That's just it.

00:49:47.520 Um, and also, by the way, you're wrong.

00:49:50.200 That's, uh, you know, the, the, the, um, proliferation of single mothers, you know, an issue 1.00

00:49:55.340 like that, in fact, is way more important than politics.

00:49:58.740 Okay.

00:49:59.960 Like the fact that we're giving up on the nuclear family is a more important and significant 0.98

00:50:06.020 event in our society than even a presidential election.

00:50:10.520 Believe it or not.

00:50:12.000 The real Brandon says, Matt, I agree with most of your takes, but you're wrong about the office.

00:50:16.040 I agree that they shouldn't remake it, but it was a great show.

00:50:18.700 They pushed the boundaries and made fun of cultural mores.

00:50:21.080 It also promoted family and marriage.

00:50:23.320 Uh, I don't think you disagree.

00:50:24.260 I think I said, I, I love the office.

00:50:26.380 It's one of my favorite shows.

00:50:28.640 It's just that when I talk about the office for me, the last five and a half seasons don't

00:50:34.040 exist because like at that point, you know, we could go on, this could be a long conversation

00:50:39.060 that would be very boring to most people, but in my, we can get into exact episodes here.

00:50:43.420 And I have always said, uh, the, I think it was in season four, midway through season

00:50:49.620 four was the dinner party episode at, uh, you know, and Michael, Michael Jan had a dinner

00:50:56.360 party.

00:50:57.060 That should have been the end of the whole series.

00:50:58.560 That should have been the series finale.

00:51:00.000 And as far as I, and that was also maybe that was, that was the best episode of the

00:51:04.200 entire series.

00:51:04.740 In my view, uh, it's when all the good things about that show all kind of came together

00:51:08.580 to create this just cringy, hilarious, uh, madness.

00:51:12.580 And that should have been the series for now.

00:51:13.860 So in my mind, and everything was downhill from there, just, just one after every episode

00:51:17.020 was worse than the last, and by the last season, it was just absolutely awful.

00:51:20.980 Everything good about the show is gone.

00:51:22.980 So, uh, but I do love the office.

00:51:25.140 I just don't count.

00:51:25.760 I don't count those other seasons.

00:51:26.960 I don't think that they exist.

00:51:29.380 Um, let's see.

00:51:30.900 And finally, OJ says, love how Matt assumes non-white people are underqualified. 0.99

00:51:38.240 He's a blatant racist. 0.91

00:51:41.000 Uh, it's of course, obviously to anyone with an IQ above the say 70, 72. 0.97

00:51:47.020 72 or 73 would understand this.

00:51:48.940 So I know that that rules you out, but, um, it's not, you know, when we, when I, uh, remark

00:51:53.840 on the insanity of the S and P 100 corporations, top corporations in America in the year 2021,

00:52:00.620 according to a Bloomberg report, hiring, uh, what was it?

00:52:03.700 94% people of color.

00:52:07.040 You know, when I remark on the insanity of that and say that that means that they're hiring

00:52:10.420 a lot of underqualified people, it's not because a person of color is automatically

00:52:14.400 underqualified.

00:52:15.200 It's because, um, there's just no mathematical way that, um, that 94% of the most qualified

00:52:27.480 people came from that minority of the, 70% of the population, whatever, 60 to 70% of the

00:52:34.020 population is white.

00:52:35.120 Only 6% were hired in the top corporations.

00:52:40.080 There's just no mathematical way that only 6% of that 60 to 70% were, were, uh, you know,

00:52:48.920 were qualified enough for the job.

00:52:50.320 So when you have a disparity like that, it's like, it's, it goes beyond disparity.

00:52:54.540 It's just so wildly out of balance.

00:52:57.340 Clearly indicates that, uh, they are making these hiring decisions based on something other

00:53:02.560 than skill.

00:53:04.360 You know, everyone is talking about convicting a murderer.

00:53:06.500 There are already so many people from around the country commenting about how they've changed

00:53:10.000 their minds about Stephen Avery after watching convicting a murderer.

00:53:12.820 It's amazing what happens when you give people all the information instead of cherry picking

00:53:15.920 the facts to fit a narrative.

00:53:17.540 This week's episode is all about how making a murderer left so many viewers convinced that

00:53:21.740 the Manitowoc police orchestrated a plot to frame Stephen Avery for the murder of Teresa

00:53:26.280 Halbach by planting the key to Halbach's car inside Avery's trailer.

00:53:29.820 Candace is going to show you what actually happened in this week's episode.

00:53:33.460 Take a look.

00:53:34.940 Coming up on convicting a murderer.

00:53:37.440 The key was the biggest piece of evidence that viewers to this day believe was planted.

00:53:42.520 It was a story that was really tailor-made for Hollywood.

00:53:45.420 It was on TV constantly saying it's Manitowoc County.

00:53:48.620 They're framing me.

00:53:49.620 It's gotta be a setup because if I didn't do it, they had to plant the stuff.

00:53:53.920 It seemed like almost everyone believes these filmmakers.

00:53:56.700 What do we want?

00:53:57.840 Justice!

00:53:58.320 Justice!

00:53:58.820 What do we want?

00:53:59.780 Now!

00:54:00.680 His body language comes across as very suspicious.

00:54:03.840 It looked like he was caught.

00:54:06.780 And that is exactly what the filmmakers led you to believe.

00:54:10.060 Why are you editing my courtroom testimony?

00:54:13.120 You should be still faithful to the facts.

00:54:15.740 I started to realize more and more that this was an entertainment piece.

00:54:19.140 This wasn't a piece of journalism like I thought it was going to be.

00:54:21.980 New episodes of Convicting a Murderer are released every Thursday exclusively on Daily Wire+.

00:54:33.460 If you're not a member, head over to dailywire.com slash subscribe to sign up for access to this groundbreaking series and the rest of Daily Wire's content.

00:54:41.340 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:54:43.140 So early last year, there was a major crisis in the town of New Prague, Minnesota.

00:54:54.320 It all started in the gymnasium at New Prague High School where the New Prague girls basketball team was facing off against a school called Robbinsdale Cooper.

00:55:03.640 And it seemed to be, you know, just a normal girls basketball game.

00:55:07.600 The final score, presumably something like 12 to 7 or in that range.

00:55:10.720 But something more serious had occurred, allegedly, during this game.

00:55:15.200 Shortly after the game ended, reports began to circulate that the fans in the stands at New Prague had subjected the visiting athletes to racist slurs and taunts.

00:55:25.280 Strange reports began to circulate on social media alleging that monkey noises could be heard from the stands.

00:55:29.680 And that at a certain point, fans actually started shouting the word monkey at the black athletes on the opposing team.

00:55:36.180 The superintendent of Robbinsdale area schools put all these allegations in writing in a formal letter and declared that no Robbinsdale teams would be playing any games in New Prague for the foreseeable future because of all the racism. 0.97

00:55:49.160 Now, immediately on first blush, those who are not abject morons might find reason to be skeptical of this story.

00:55:57.620 And the first reason is that it simply, that things like this simply don't happen in real life. 0.89

00:56:04.080 So that's the first reason, you know, it is just when someone tells you something and then you think, well, that doesn't even happen.

00:56:09.660 That's the thing that doesn't, this doesn't happen.

00:56:11.580 So I'm pretty sure it didn't happen here.

00:56:14.420 When was the last time you ever heard a crowd of white people shouting racist taunts at a black person?

00:56:21.640 This is the last time you ever heard that.

00:56:22.660 You ever encountered that in your life?

00:56:23.740 I mean, your answer is almost certainly never.

00:56:25.660 I have never encountered anything like that ever.

00:56:30.060 You've never seen anything like that ever in your entire life.

00:56:32.820 And nobody in modern America has because it just doesn't happen.

00:56:36.740 And it's also a curious claim because if New Prague fans were that racist, if they were so unbelievably bigoted against blacks that they would engage in behavior like that,

00:56:45.560 then you would think that similar incidents would happen at every basketball game and every football game, every sporting match of any kind, given that all of them will inevitably involve black athletes. 0.99

00:56:58.460 Like, why would the crowd just suddenly become racist against Robbinsdale Cooper girls when they have undoubtedly encountered many black athletes in the past?

00:57:06.120 And finally, of course, if this really happened in the year 2022, when everybody carried a camera around in their pocket, then there would be video of it.

00:57:13.920 OK, if there are people at a basketball game, like whole crowds of people making monkey noises at black athletes, you are going to see that on video everywhere.

00:57:25.620 You wouldn't, you don't even have to look for it.

00:57:27.900 It's going to be right in front of your face.

00:57:29.480 It would be inescapable.

00:57:31.840 We wouldn't need to read about the claims in a letter from the superintendent.

00:57:35.100 We would see and hear it for ourselves in social media videos that would go massively, historically viral.

00:57:41.820 But no such videos existed because the whole thing was bogus.

00:57:44.340 Still, New Prague investigated the claims for a month.

00:57:48.220 And finally, in late March, the superintendent at the time, Tim Dittburner, revealed the results of their weeks-long investigation that should have taken about seven minutes.

00:57:56.580 And it turns out that they couldn't substantiate any of the racism claims.

00:57:59.780 And they reviewed all the video, all the audio.

00:58:02.080 They heard no monkey sounds, no racial slurs.

00:58:04.480 They interviewed players, interviewed coaches, officials, fans.

00:58:07.220 Nobody had heard anything like that.

00:58:09.020 As for the claim that someone yelled monkey at a black player as she was shooting a free throw,

00:58:12.980 the investigation revealed that the word that was actually shouted was Nike,

00:58:18.060 which is the name of a play that the New Prague coach wanted the girls to run after the free throw. 0.73

00:58:24.080 So the whole controversy was over nothing.

00:58:26.300 It was all a hoax because it, of course, was always destined to be a hoax.

00:58:31.980 So did Superintendent Dittburner condemn those guilty of the hoax?

00:58:36.480 Did he call out the people, including the superintendent of the other school district, for defaming his students and their families?

00:58:42.980 Did he show any righteous anger towards those who propagated this lie?

00:58:47.360 Of course not.

00:58:48.800 Instead, he condemned the derogatory comments and racial slurs that nobody ever said.

00:58:54.540 And he declared that even though this didn't happen, it doesn't, quote,

00:58:57.360 negate the lived experience of the people who claim that it did happen.

00:59:00.380 He then laid out a three-point plan for making his district less racist, even though it's not racist to begin with.

00:59:07.440 And one of the items on that three-point plan may be helpful in explaining the next part of this story.

00:59:14.880 So his step two was this, quote,

00:59:18.140 Well, we may now know what sort of resources were provided.

00:59:29.940 According to Alpha News, which is a local news organization in Minnesota,

00:59:33.760 New Prague school staff were recently shown a video about microaggressions.

00:59:37.920 And we'll play that video for you in a moment so that you can see how absurdly over-the-top racist it is. 0.91

00:59:42.240 Racist, of course, against white people. 1.00

00:59:43.540 The whole theme of the video is that white people are blood-sucking, disease-infested mosquitoes. 1.00

00:59:50.180 And it's not my interpretation. 0.99

00:59:51.380 That's what the video says.

00:59:53.320 Before we watch the video, here's what the current superintendent, Andrew Volmuth,

00:59:57.760 said about his decision to show it to staff.

00:59:59.800 Quote,

01:00:00.360 The New Prague Area Schools is dedicated to creating a culture where all students have an equal and inclusive opportunity

01:00:05.140 to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

01:00:07.880 Superintendent Volmuth told Alpha News,

01:00:09.460 As a school system, we will honor the uniqueness of each individual

01:00:12.860 and embrace diverse backgrounds, values, and viewpoints

01:00:15.480 that will build an empowered school community while acknowledging our differences as strengths.

01:00:20.700 Volmuth explained that the videos were part of staff professional development

01:00:23.860 to proactively address the needs of our increasingly diverse community.

01:00:27.860 Quote,

01:00:28.340 Microaggression and bias were topics embedded in this professional development, he said.

01:00:33.640 Yes, microaggressions. 0.71

01:00:35.140 We wouldn't want to commit microaggressions against black people, 0.99

01:00:37.780 so instead we'll compare the entire white race to plague-infested insects. 0.98

01:00:42.860 The only way to stop microaggressions is with much more explicit aggressions 0.86

01:00:47.800 against the other group of people, it turns out.

01:00:50.240 So, here's the video.

01:00:53.500 Mosquito bites and their itch are one of nature's most annoying features.

01:00:57.860 But if you're only bitten every once in a while...

01:01:00.160 No, where are you really from?

01:01:02.260 Uh, Cleveland?

01:01:03.380 Sure, it's annoying, but it's not that big a deal.

01:01:05.880 The problem is that some people get bitten by mosquitoes a lot more than other people.

01:01:10.120 I mean, a lot more.

01:01:11.980 Whether it's on a date...

01:01:13.700 Oh, your English is so good.

01:01:15.380 Excuse me?

01:01:16.160 ...going grocery shopping...

01:01:17.240 You know, everything happens for a reason.

01:01:19.000 I'm just buying apples.

01:01:20.080 ...commuting to work...

01:01:20.960 So, when are you gonna have a baby?

01:01:22.160 ...watching TV...

01:01:23.040 We have to keep the Redskins' name.

01:01:24.680 It's part of our culture and history.

01:01:26.720 ...or just walking down the street with your partner. 0.96

01:01:28.840 I couldn't even tell you were gay! 0.99

01:01:30.420 Mosquitoes seem to pop up everywhere. 0.96

01:01:32.660 Do you know John?

01:01:33.300 You're giving me shopping advice so bad now.

01:01:34.620 I love Cher too!

01:01:35.620 ...and getting bit by mosquitoes every day...

01:01:37.480 Can I touch your hair?

01:01:38.720 ...multiple times a day...

01:01:39.660 So pretty.

01:01:40.200 Can I touch it, please?

01:01:40.980 Can I touch it, please?

01:01:41.020 Oh, my God.

01:01:42.600 Can I please?

01:01:43.620 ...is annoying and makes you want to go ballistic on those mosquitoes, 0.84

01:01:47.260 which seems like a huge overreaction to people who only get bit every once in a while.

01:01:51.820 It's just a mosquito bite.

01:01:53.120 Who cares? 1.00

01:01:53.880 Just another angry black woman. 1.00

01:01:55.360 Of course, beyond just being annoying, some mosquitoes carry truly threatening diseases 0.99

01:02:00.480 that can mess up your life for years.

01:02:02.720 Astrophysics?

01:02:03.640 Hmm, maybe you should try this challenging, Major.

01:02:07.160 Ow! 1.00

01:02:07.960 What a dream.

01:02:08.640 And other mosquitoes carry strains that can even kill you.

01:02:11.880 He looked like he was up to trouble, okay?

01:02:13.620 I felt threatened.

01:02:14.440 So next time you think someone's overreacting, just remember,

01:02:17.980 some people experience mosquito bites all the time.

01:02:22.020 You're all so exotic, wow.

01:02:23.700 And by mosquito bites, we mean microaggressions. 1.00

01:02:29.120 Okay, so not only are white people nothing but irritating, filthy bugs, 1.00

01:02:33.620 but also black people are perfectly justified in lashing out violently against them. 1.00

01:02:37.480 This is the message. 0.96

01:02:39.180 Never mind the fact that nearly every microaggression,

01:02:42.000 aggressive scenario in that video is ridiculously contrived

01:02:45.580 and not at all reflective of anyone's actual everyday reality.

01:02:50.440 Okay, and yes, I can say that.

01:02:51.800 And you're a white people telling, you as a white man are telling people of color

01:02:55.880 they don't experience these things?

01:02:58.160 Yes, that's what I'm telling you.

01:03:00.080 You don't really experience most of those things. 0.82

01:03:02.380 White people are not swarming around black women as they walk down the street 1.00

01:03:07.000 trying to touch their hair, okay? 0.98

01:03:08.820 No white person is walking up to a group of non-whites 1.00

01:03:11.240 and telling them that they look so exotic.

01:03:13.780 And almost no one on TV recently has even attempted to defend the Redskins name.

01:03:19.260 I mean, I'll defend it, probably so, but I'm certainly in the minority on that.

01:03:22.680 And by far, most outlandish of all is they show what appears to be an Asian person 1.00

01:03:27.660 being told that he should choose a less challenging major instead of science.

01:03:32.660 Yes, because we've all heard that vicious stereotype about Asians being bad at science.

01:03:36.680 Yes, you know, we hear that all the time. 0.54

01:03:39.360 You might as well have a scene where a tall black guy is discouraged from joining the basketball team.

01:03:43.960 This is the kind of fantasy world that the left wants us all to pretend we live in.

01:03:48.160 Now, that said, a few of the scenarios in that video are vaguely reminiscent of reality.

01:03:51.760 You know, someone who looks foreign may be asked where they come from.

01:03:57.020 They may even be complimented on their English.

01:03:59.120 And these are polite comments made by someone who is trying to show an interest in you.

01:04:05.180 And you could choose to take them in the spirit that they were intended,

01:04:08.280 or you can choose to see them as microaggressions.

01:04:11.000 And if you choose the latter, that's your fault.

01:04:14.000 Okay, microaggressions are, when they're not totally invented and fantastical,

01:04:18.160 they are nothing more than personal hang-ups.

01:04:19.980 They are just a very modern, very annoying way of saying pet peeve.

01:04:24.080 And we all have pet peeves.

01:04:25.400 Okay, I have a million of them.

01:04:26.560 We all have things that we find more personally irritating than it should be.

01:04:33.400 Or, like, we all have things where someone does something,

01:04:35.460 and it's not intended in a bad way, and it's basically innocuous,

01:04:38.540 but for whatever reason, it drives us crazy.

01:04:42.520 But the thing about a pet peeve is that it's your pet.

01:04:45.200 Okay, it's your problem.

01:04:46.820 Just like your actual pet is your problem.

01:04:48.780 I don't want your pet taking a dump on my lawn, bring it over on your lawn. 0.89

01:04:52.700 Your pet peeve is the same way.

01:04:53.880 Don't bring your pet peeve around me.

01:04:54.920 It's not my issue.

01:04:55.540 It's your pet peeve.

01:04:56.840 It's not my job to navigate around your pet peeve.

01:05:00.600 It's your job to deal with it and keep it to yourself.

01:05:04.240 Okay, I don't have to stop doing the innocuous, innocent thing that you happen to find annoying.

01:05:08.560 The problem is on your end.

01:05:10.040 You shouldn't find it annoying.

01:05:11.500 When someone notices that you probably have family members, at least,

01:05:18.700 who are from a different country, and they ask you,

01:05:20.700 oh, where are you from?

01:05:22.160 You shouldn't find it annoying.

01:05:23.340 If you do, it's your problem.

01:05:25.100 That's your fault.

01:05:25.880 You have to stop dwelling on it and stop dwelling on how annoying you find it.

01:05:30.480 Or you could keep dwelling, and that's your choice, but it's not going to be my problem.

01:05:34.680 Overall, the whole point of this video and of the entire anti-racist DEI program is to tell a story.

01:05:39.780 And in this story, racial minorities are constantly being harassed and harangued and accosted and insulted and blamed and scapegoated.

01:05:46.160 They walk around exhausted, emotionally drained, on the verge of a breakdown all the time because of the nonstop negativity aimed in their direction.

01:05:53.620 They are devalued, demonized, demeaned.

01:05:56.500 That's the story.

01:05:58.140 It's not a true story.

01:05:59.760 It's not even based on a true story.

01:06:01.860 It's a work of absolute fiction.

01:06:04.100 But the hope is that these racial minorities will come to believe the story. 0.98

01:06:07.260 They'll come to see themselves as perpetual victims.

01:06:09.580 They'll come to see even normal, everyday interactions as sources of victimhood.

01:06:13.340 And then, as a result, they'll become resentful and suspicious.

01:06:16.400 And this is what the people pushing this narrative want.

01:06:18.900 They want resentment and suspicion on one end, and they want self-loathing and guilt on the other end.

01:06:24.620 Of course, in reality, the story being told about what it's like to live in modern America as a minority is much more accurately applied to white people.

01:06:32.940 Because if you're white, then you really are demonized and insulted and blamed and scapegoated constantly. 1.00

01:06:38.040 You are harassed so often and to such an extent that you might even find yourself at work in a diversity seminar being told that you are a blood-sucking insect who deserves to be burned to death. 1.00

01:06:50.560 That kind of messaging only goes one way in our culture. 0.99

01:06:54.940 And history shows where that messaging ultimately leads.

01:06:59.260 Only to one place.

01:07:00.900 And it's a very bad place.

01:07:02.080 And that is why the entire New Prague School District is today canceled.

01:07:09.780 And that will do it for the show today.

01:07:11.180 Thanks for watching.

01:07:11.680 Thanks for listening.

01:07:12.760 Have a great day.
