The Matt Walsh Show - Ep. 1248 - New Revelations Prove Yet Again That Derek Chauvin Was An Innocent Man Railroaded In The Name Of 'Racial Justice'

00:00:00.000 Today on the Matt Wall Show, new revelations prove beyond a shadow of a doubt what any

00:00:03.520 honest person already knew, which is that Derek Chauvin is an innocent man who was falsely

00:00:07.700 blamed for the death of George Floyd and railroaded in the name of racial justice.

00:01:54.580 There was a moment early on in the George Floyd trial where the entire thing should have

00:01:59.620 been over.

00:02:00.060 The judge should have dismissed the case with prejudice, admonished the prosecutors, and

00:02:03.560 apologized profusely to Derek Chauvin on behalf of the state of Minnesota for this coordinated

00:02:08.320 effort to destroy his life.

00:02:10.220 And I'm talking about testimony from the chief medical examiner in Minneapolis, a man named

00:02:14.400 Andrew Baker.

00:02:15.360 A little over a week into the trial, he was called by the state to make the claim that

00:02:19.940 Derek Chauvin had committed a homicide by placing his knee on Floyd's neck for several

00:02:24.320 minutes.

00:02:24.780 And that's exactly what Andrew Baker did on direct examination.

00:02:28.620 Then when Derek Chauvin's defense lawyer cross-examined Andrew Baker, it all fell apart.

00:02:34.260 Over the course of more than an hour, Chauvin's lawyer got Baker to admit a series of facts

00:02:38.360 that, taken together, undermined the prosecution's entire theory of the case.

00:02:42.600 For one thing, Baker admitted that just days after Floyd's death, he told prosecutors that

00:02:48.040 Floyd had a lethal level of fentanyl in his system under normal circumstances.

00:02:52.960 Baker also acknowledged that Floyd had a severely enlarged heart, that the autopsy showed no physical

00:02:57.980 signs of neck injury or strangulation.

00:03:00.780 The medical examiner went on to admit that if Floyd had been found alone in an apartment

00:03:04.720 building, his death would be certified as an overdose without a second thought.

00:03:08.820 Then Chauvin's lawyer delivered what should have been the kill shot.

00:03:13.400 He asked Andrew Baker whether Derek Chauvin's knee had ever obstructed Floyd's airway.

00:03:19.600 And here was the medical examiner's response to that question.

00:03:22.520 Watch.

00:03:22.680 In terms of the placement of Mr. Chauvin's knee, would that explain anatomically why Mr.

00:03:37.120 Floyd, would that anatomically cut off Mr. Floyd's airway? 0.97

00:03:41.000 In my opinion, it would not.

00:03:42.180 Well, that seems relevant.

00:03:50.480 I mean, in fact, it seems like the whole thing.

00:03:52.800 It's the whole case.

00:03:53.660 The entire narrative surrounding the death of George Floyd up to this point was that Chauvin's

00:03:59.300 knee blocked Floyd's airway. 0.63

00:04:01.640 That was supposedly why he ran out of oxygen and stopped breathing.

00:04:04.960 Now, an expert witness, a prosecution witness for that matter, was admitting under oath that

00:04:10.260 Chauvin's knee was not affecting Floyd's airway at all.

00:04:14.220 This cross-examination received basically zero media attention at the time.

00:04:18.060 No one seemed to notice it.

00:04:19.380 But more than two years later, Andrew Baker is finally getting some scrutiny now because

00:04:23.360 of a lawsuit filed by a former Minneapolis prosecutor named Amy Sweezy.

00:04:27.760 As reported by Alpha News late last week and discussed on Friday by Tucker Carlson, Sweezy just

00:04:32.520 claimed in a deposition that Baker privately acknowledged that there were no, quote, medical

00:04:37.840 indications of asphyxia or strangulation in Floyd's death.

00:04:41.780 Quoting from her deposition, she says, quote, he called me later in the day on that Tuesday

00:04:46.400 and he told me that there were no medical findings that showed any injury to the vital

00:04:50.780 structures of Mr. Floyd's neck.

00:04:52.880 There were no medical indications of asphyxia or strangulation.

00:04:56.840 According to Sweezy, quote, Dr. Baker said that if Mr. Floyd had been found dead in his

00:05:01.000 home or anywhere else and there were no other contributing factors, he would conclude that

00:05:04.260 it was an overdose death.

00:05:06.300 For that reason, Sweezy said in her new deposition that Baker seemingly suggested to his colleagues

00:05:11.700 that they needed to lie about Floyd's death due to public pressure.

00:05:15.360 Quoting again from the deposition, quote, he said to me, Amy, what happens when the actual

00:05:20.140 evidence doesn't match up with the public narrative that everyone's already decided on?

00:05:23.660 And then he said, this is the kind of case that ends careers.

00:05:27.240 Now, at the time of Derek Chauvin's trial, we didn't know all of these details, all these

00:05:33.820 conversations that were happening behind the scenes, but honestly, we didn't need them.

00:05:38.160 We didn't need to know that because they're just confirmation of what any reasonable person

00:05:43.080 should have figured out, which is that all of these experts were lying about George Floyd.

00:05:48.780 There was the body camera footage of George Floyd saying, I can't breathe several times before

00:05:53.480 he was ever put on the ground, you know, he's fighting with the officers in the back of the

00:05:57.240 squad guard, then he begs them to put him on the ground.

00:06:00.700 He asks them to put him on the ground because he doesn't want to be in the car.

00:06:04.040 The jury saw all of this.

00:06:06.040 There was also the testimony from the doctor who treated Floyd in the emergency room, who

00:06:09.700 admitted under cross-examination that Floyd's symptoms, specifically the lack of oxygen to

00:06:13.460 his brain, were consistent with a fentanyl overdose.

00:06:17.460 By the end of the proceedings, even the jury that convicted Chauvin was obviously aware of

00:06:21.660 what a farce this whole trial was.

00:06:23.700 Shortly after they voted to convict, several of the jurors gave an interview with CNN.

00:06:27.580 And let's go back and listen again to their reasoning.

00:06:31.260 Listen.

00:06:32.220 We got to the point, actually, that we realized for charge two, at some point, I think it was

00:06:40.620 Jody, I'm pretty sure it was Jody, said, wait a minute.

00:06:43.680 Does the intended act of harm have to be the death of George Floyd, or can it be him not

00:06:53.700 providing the life support?

00:06:55.640 And it was like, all of a sudden, light bulbs just went on for those people, I think, that

00:07:00.660 were undecided or on the not guilty side.

00:07:03.760 Yeah.

00:07:04.080 Go ahead.

00:07:04.540 I want to hear from you, Jody.

00:07:06.320 Why is it?

00:07:06.860 You brought that up?

00:07:08.080 What did you?

00:07:08.460 I brought that up.

00:07:09.340 Tell me what you brought up and why.

00:07:11.240 I brought up to the fact that this is not what he did, but more or less what he didn't

00:07:16.300 do.

00:07:16.580 He did not provide life-saving measures for George Floyd when he knew that the guy was

00:07:23.460 in pain or needed medical attention.

00:07:27.900 Even the firefighter that was off said, check his pulse, check his pulse.

00:07:33.220 Well, then they checked his pulse, and they said, well, do you want to do anything?

00:07:36.040 No, we're leaving him here.

00:07:37.040 He had ample to roll him over and start CPR, and he didn't.

00:07:43.360 He didn't move one bit.

00:07:46.440 And even when the EMS came up and checked him, he never even got up.

00:07:51.140 OK, so keep in mind that even now, even today, after the trial is over, we've heard from the

00:07:56.700 jury why they convicted him.

00:07:57.800 We're still told that Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's neck and killed him, murdered

00:08:06.180 him, and that's why he's in jail.

00:08:09.200 When the jury themselves, they say that, no, in fact, it's just he was having an overdose,

00:08:14.260 and Derek Chauvin didn't assist him, didn't give him medical assistance while he was having

00:08:18.760 an overdose.

00:08:19.500 Which is, that's what the jury says, that's what happened in the trial, that's not what

00:08:24.180 the media says, the public, that's not what anyone out there says.

00:08:31.300 The jury says it's not what he did, it's what he didn't do.

00:08:34.860 He didn't live up to the police department's motto of caring.

00:08:37.600 He didn't, I don't know, start mouth-to-mouth CPR on George Floyd. 0.91

00:08:41.340 Therefore, he's a killer.

00:08:42.280 He's guilty of second-degree murder, is what they're saying.

00:08:45.260 Now, a couple things about that.

00:08:46.460 First of all, you can tell from how they're talking about this, and they go on to talk

00:08:50.620 about their lightbulb moment, that's the phrase they use, that they were trying to find an

00:08:54.620 excuse to convict Derek Chauvin from the beginning.

00:08:57.480 They knew that Chauvin didn't actually kill George Floyd, and that caused maybe some cognitive

00:09:02.200 dissonance, but they also knew that they had to convict him, or the city would burn down

00:09:07.600 and they'd be racist.

00:09:09.620 That's why they were so relieved when this woman says, well, actually, it doesn't matter that 0.96

00:09:13.540 Chauvin didn't kill Floyd.

00:09:14.960 It's not about what he did, it's what he didn't do, which is totally wrong and nonsensical,

00:09:21.140 but it gave them an out.

00:09:23.380 The jury went into the trial determined to find Chauvin guilty.

00:09:26.740 The only thing they needed to figure out was why.

00:09:29.300 They needed to figure out why they would convict him.

00:09:31.460 They knew they would.

00:09:32.540 It's just a matter of finding the why.

00:09:35.760 Now, this is exactly the opposite of how jury deliberations are supposed to work.

00:09:39.660 What a jury is supposed to do is look at the evidence and then see if under the law, a

00:09:43.820 crime has occurred.

00:09:44.800 And in this case, the law required that the state proved beyond a reasonable doubt that

00:09:48.900 Derek Chauvin's actions caused George Floyd's death.

00:09:52.980 That should have been the entire focus of the jury, but the jury didn't bother with that

00:09:56.880 because the state never proved that anything like that had occurred.

00:10:00.660 There was nothing that proved beyond a reasonable doubt that Derek Chauvin killed Floyd or that

00:10:04.560 he could have saved Floyd for that matter.

00:10:06.120 Now, to give you an idea of how corrupted the judicial system is, Chauvin didn't have

00:10:11.020 any obvious alternative to this outcome.

00:10:13.460 If he had chosen a bench trial, he still would have been convicted.

00:10:17.020 And that's because the judge was Peter Cahill.

00:10:19.180 He's handled the cases of every officer who was involved in detaining George Floyd.

00:10:23.340 And recently, he sentenced one of those officers, Tu Tao, to five years in prison.

00:10:27.700 We talked about that case several weeks ago.

00:10:30.120 Well, what was Tu Tao's crime?

00:10:31.620 He held back the crowd that was badgering and threatening officers as Derek Chauvin restrained

00:10:36.800 George Floyd.

00:10:37.780 Tu Tao didn't lay a finger on George Floyd.

00:10:40.720 He wasn't even looking at the arrest because he was focused on the crowd.

00:10:44.280 That's why he was there. 0.84

00:10:45.880 His only crime was being in the general vicinity while a black man overdosed on poison that he 0.98

00:10:51.840 willfully consumed.

00:10:54.420 That's why he's in jail, mainly because Tao never bent the knee to the mob.

00:10:58.360 He quoted scripture during his sentencing hearing, and that infuriated Judge Peter Cahill,

00:11:03.320 who so he threw a towel behind bars for five years, simply for being there while a black 0.98

00:11:09.280 man overdosed.

00:11:11.120 Now, what could explain this judge's conduct?

00:11:13.160 As you might have guessed, he's a lot like the jurors.

00:11:16.140 He believes that equity is more important than the law.

00:11:19.280 After the Chauvin case, Peter Cahill gave a lecture to a bunch of other judges, and during

00:11:22.980 his remarks, he told his colleagues to, quote, work for equity.

00:11:27.080 He also told them that every case, every case is about racial justice.

00:11:31.920 Watch.

00:11:33.160 And finally, I want to talk a little bit about racial justice.

00:11:36.840 Well, first of all, how many of you work in a courthouse that has equal justice under

00:11:42.200 law somewhere emblazoned on a wall or over your entrance, anything like that, on a plaque?

00:11:50.640 Okay.

00:11:50.920 It's very common, if you see, even the U.S. Supreme Court above the entrance, equal justice

00:11:56.320 under law.

00:11:58.140 I think one of the things we have to do, and this is probably the more serious part of this

00:12:03.840 lecture, we have to acknowledge that equal justice under law, stated on top of the entrance

00:12:11.220 to the building is more a goal than it is an accomplishment.

00:12:15.640 I think we're getting better, but we are far cry from being able to say we've done it

00:12:20.740 and rest on our worlds.

00:12:23.240 It is more often a goal, in my mind, than an accomplishment.

00:12:27.200 Now, he goes on and on like that for a while.

00:12:31.460 He says it's important to work for equity.

00:12:33.320 He encourages affirmative action hiring.

00:12:35.660 He tells everyone to attend implicit bias training.

00:12:38.660 It's exactly what you would expect.

00:12:40.700 And proving again that Derek Chauvin had no chance.

00:12:44.460 The cards, the deck was stacked against him completely.

00:12:47.640 He had no chance.

00:12:49.140 The result was determined before he stepped foot in that courtroom, which is what makes the

00:12:55.540 Derek Chauvin verdict, one of the greatest injustices in the history of the American

00:13:00.460 court system.

00:13:02.920 Now, a few moments ago, I mentioned revelations in the legal complaint by former Minneapolis

00:13:06.800 prosecutor Amy Sweezy.

00:13:08.200 There were some other revelations related to these lawsuits, and one of them, according to

00:13:11.980 Alpha News, is that multiple employees of the Hennepin County Attorney's Office withdrew

00:13:16.040 from the prosecutions of the other three officers besides Chauvin, who were on the scene that

00:13:20.760 day.

00:13:21.060 And these prosecutors believed that charging these other officers violated their profession.

00:13:25.540 and ethical obligations.

00:13:28.200 But this judge, Peter Cahill, had no problem sentencing these officers to lengthy prison

00:13:32.540 sentences, even though three of the people in the prosecutor's office didn't want to have

00:13:37.040 anything to do with it.

00:13:38.280 It violated their oath of office to be involved.

00:13:43.320 Peter Cahill didn't have any compunction about it.

00:13:45.040 He smirked while he was handing down their prison sentences, in fact.

00:13:49.420 Again, if you've been following the Floyd case for a long time, none of these revelations

00:13:52.640 are especially surprising to you.

00:13:55.160 It's been obvious from the beginning that Derek Chauvin was a sacrificial lamb being offered

00:13:59.100 up to atone for the supposed sins of an entire race. 0.98

00:14:02.480 And now we have overwhelming evidence of that, and a lot of people, conservatives anyway, are

00:14:07.520 coming out and saying so.

00:14:09.240 But speaking of conservatives, one of the things that's so important about all this new information

00:14:14.160 is that it underscores the cowardly and shameful silence of many conservatives when this trial

00:14:20.340 was occurring and before it occurred.

00:14:22.620 Many right-wing politicians and activists didn't really stand up in defense of Derek Chauvin.

00:14:27.660 In fact, many Republican politicians and outlets explicitly accepted the narrative that George

00:14:32.820 Floyd had been murdered.

00:14:33.540 You know, we don't have to go through all the examples, but you can go back to May and June 2020,

00:14:40.940 and you may be surprised by what some of your favorite conservatives were saying back then about this case.

00:14:49.620 All along, it was an obvious scam.

00:14:52.500 And the con artists behind it are now rubbing it in our faces.

00:14:55.660 Patrice Cullors, one of the founders of BLM, is, for example, now embarking on a new career as a nude modern artist.

00:15:02.120 First, she's transitioned from one absurd form of performance art to another, somehow even more grotesque form.

00:15:09.720 This is the Hunter Biden approach, except instead of finger painting,

00:15:13.040 Patrice Cullors is taking off all her clothing and making tapestries with gold and, quote,

00:15:18.280 vintage mudcloth from Mali.

00:15:20.600 Just like Hunter Biden, the point of this new effort is to hide her own corruption. 0.99

00:15:23.620 As the Independent reports, quote, Cullors is leaning into her art these days,

00:15:27.040 gaining sustenance and perspective from it.

00:15:28.960 She speaks of it as not just a vocation, but a means of salvation.

00:15:33.180 At one point, the impact of accusations of financial mismanagement at BLM,

00:15:36.880 from which she resigned in 2021, wounded her so deeply, her mental health was imperiled,

00:15:41.860 and she felt her very life was in danger, she says.

00:15:44.960 What has ultimately saved her more than once, she feels, is her art.

00:15:49.500 Now, there are pictures, by the way, of her nude performance art, but I will spare you those.

00:15:55.120 And a lot of people reacted to this news with surprise, as if it's somehow shocking that a

00:16:00.260 grifter would find a new grift, but it's the most natural thing in the world.

00:16:04.120 And at this point, it takes no great strength to mock Patrice Cullors as a scam artist,

00:16:09.620 just like it takes no courage to admit at this point that Derek Chauvin did not kill George Floyd.

00:16:15.580 The time to really point all this out, for conservatives to point all this out,

00:16:19.980 was two or three years ago, when it mattered.

00:16:23.040 That was the time to organize mass demonstrations in support of the rule of law,

00:16:26.960 to apply maximum political pressure on the corrupt prosecutors in Minnesota.

00:16:32.520 It was the time for Republican politicians to speak up forcefully

00:16:35.780 about this travesty of justice that's occurring,

00:16:40.480 where they're going to throw an innocent man in prison because he's white.

00:16:44.060 That's the only reason Derek Chauvin's in jail right now, is because he's a white guy.

00:16:49.300 But none of that happened.

00:16:51.000 And now, barring a miraculous Supreme Court appeal, Derek Chauvin will spend decades in prison.

00:16:55.720 Cities burned, innocent people like David Dorn died for no reason.

00:17:00.420 And Patrice Cullors and her ilk have inspired a generation of race hustlers to rise up and

00:17:04.820 seize power in virtually every major corporation and university in this country.

00:17:09.160 All this happened because a lot of people lacked the courage to say what they knew was right.

00:17:15.180 Even those prosecutors in the Minneapolis DA's office,

00:17:17.660 who refused to work on some of these George Floyd cases because they saw what a sham it was,

00:17:22.980 well, they kept their opinions private at the time.

00:17:25.260 I mean, we're only finding out about it now.

00:17:26.640 Now, the grifters see all this happening and they're emboldened by it.

00:17:32.480 The other day, Ben Crump held an indignant press conference on behalf of Leonard Cure.

00:17:36.640 That's the guy who tried to strangle a cop to death, got himself shot in the process.

00:17:41.460 According to Ben Crump, it's white supremacy when police officers shoot people who are trying to kill them. 0.88

00:17:46.160 And at some level, you almost have to admire it.

00:17:50.860 I mean, for all his many faults, Ben Crump, like Patrice Cullors, understands one thing very well,

00:17:55.420 which is that modern conservatives are the most passive political actors on the planet.

00:18:01.000 For decades, universities have been slowly transforming into cesspools of anti-white racism and anti-truth insanity.

00:18:08.140 And many conservatives only went to war against these universities a couple of weeks ago

00:18:12.180 after Hamas's attack on Israeli civilians, followed by massive demonstrations on college campuses on behalf of the terrorists.

00:18:18.200 It was shocking to Nikki Haley, for example.

00:18:20.860 And she's now suggesting that some of these universities should lose federal funding.

00:18:24.340 And so are some other candidates.

00:18:26.740 You know, she waited for the safest possible moment to go after the universities.

00:18:30.580 And this is the tried and true Republican strategy.

00:18:34.940 And yes, we should go after them.

00:18:37.240 It'd be a good place to start, even if it's an extraordinarily delayed response.

00:18:40.980 But it's not nearly enough.

00:18:44.260 You know, it should be the default response going forward to any corporation or school

00:18:48.600 that discriminates against any religious belief or nationality or skin color.

00:18:53.320 And if the GOP takes this seriously, you'll see a lot less open support for terrorism on college campuses.

00:19:00.380 Affirmative action will be dismantled because there will actually be some teeth behind that Supreme Court decision.

00:19:05.460 Anti-white and anti-Asian racism and admissions and hiring will stop overnight.

00:19:09.540 That means there will be a lot fewer Ben Crumpfs and Patrice Cullors in the world.

00:19:15.840 And we'll lose out on, you know, tapestries of mudcloth from Mali. 0.98

00:19:21.060 But what we'll gain is something we haven't had in a very long time, even before the rise of BLM.

00:19:25.920 We'll have a conservative movement that actually conserves something.

00:19:29.800 Now let's get to our five headlines.

00:19:39.080 You know, it's hard to take your family to the movies these days.

00:19:41.760 You never know what kind of woke nonsense they're going to spring on you. 0.98

00:19:44.400 Sexual innuendos, crude language, the emasculation of men, and let's not forget toxic feminism. 1.00

00:19:49.780 That's why we're excited for the award-winning Miracle in East Texas, directed by and starring Kevin Sorbo.

00:19:54.480 This film should be a hilarious and family-friendly comedy and traditional Hollywood style full of quirky laughs while telling an evoking but true story about entrepreneurship, the American dream, and the value of forgiveness.

00:20:05.280 Sorbo Studios wants to get wholesome values back into your theaters.

00:20:09.120 Make sure you get your tickets before they sell out.

00:20:10.920 This film has already received the Parents Television and Media Council seal of approval.

00:20:15.180 Miracle in East Texas opens on October 29th and 30th.

00:20:18.760 Go to sorbostudios.com for ticketing and all of their information at sorbostudios.com.

00:20:24.740 Here's a big report of the Daily Mail.

00:20:26.120 It says a North Carolina lesbian slammed doctors who led her down a path of transitioning as a fractured and unstable adolescent despite suffering from multiple personality disorder. 0.57

00:20:35.440 Leighton Ullery took aim at high-profile medical doctors in a bombshell lawsuit obtained by DailyMail.com,

00:20:41.340 where she claimed that her mind and body were inhabited by eight separate identities after almost two decades of abuse at the hands of a cult.

00:20:47.920 After enduring 18 years of sexual, physical, and psychological torment, which also included conversion therapy to cure her from being a lesbian,

00:20:56.620 she left the cult in 2015, while the trauma at the time saw her personality splinter into separate identities.

00:21:02.040 The lawsuit claims that because Leighton would suffer memory loss when she switched identities,

00:21:06.520 her doctors were also providing medical treatment to other identities, including Liv, Jessie, Anna, Mason, Lee, AJ, and several fragmented identities.

00:21:15.340 Those are the names of all of her identities, allegedly.

00:21:17.920 Yet despite being practically and legally disabled under Rhode Island law, she underwent drastic gender reassignment therapy, including hormone therapy,

00:21:25.320 because the surgeons prioritized their own agendas, ideologies, and professional interests.

00:21:30.560 Ullery is suing Rhode Island Treatment Center Thundermist Health, along with a number of leading practitioners,

00:21:36.880 including Dr. Jason Rafferty, therapist Julie Lyons, and Dr. Michelle Forcier.

00:21:41.940 Those included in the lawsuit did not immediately respond to her request for comment when contacted.

00:21:47.000 Michelle Forcier, of course, you may recognize that name because she is the chicken lady from What is a Woman? 0.86

00:21:54.040 The infamous Do Chickens Cry lady, that's her, and she's getting sued by this patient. 1.00

00:22:01.940 Now, it's a very important case, and we're seeing more and more cases like this where these people who were sterilized,

00:22:16.140 castrated, mutilated are now coming back around and suing the doctors who did this to them, which is very good.

00:22:24.060 It's very good that they're suing.

00:22:26.620 And, you know, we've talked about a DID, multiple personality disorder, before,

00:22:30.600 and I've already said that I think it's basically a fake disorder.

00:22:34.080 This is something that psychiatrists made up.

00:22:37.100 And most of the famous cases of multiple personality disorder,

00:22:41.580 the ones that popularized it in the kind of public imagination, are proven frauds.

00:22:48.580 Because the whole premise just doesn't make any sense anyway.

00:22:51.180 The idea that a human mind can contain, like, ten separate minds that exist independent of each other,

00:23:00.460 it just doesn't make sense.

00:23:02.600 I don't think that it's real.

00:23:04.200 I think anyone who's been diagnosed with DID is either faking it, or they're very, very confused.

00:23:12.320 And it seems to be the latter in this case.

00:23:14.520 I think it sounds like this person is confused.

00:23:16.900 But real or not, the point is that this person, this patient, is obviously struggling with a bunch of issues.

00:23:27.760 And it's like, if someone goes in claiming that they have ten different conscious identities that operate independently in their own mind,

00:23:36.480 and they have names for all these different identities, either it's real or they're faking it.

00:23:42.700 But again, either way, this is someone who's clearly troubled.

00:23:46.660 Very troubled.

00:23:47.480 So, and this is very common, by the way, in almost every case, the gender-confused person who goes and seeks medical help or therapeutic help,

00:23:59.900 in almost every case, they're going to have various other diagnosed or diagnosable mental problems.

00:24:07.220 And this is something that, by the way, the trans activists will admit.

00:24:11.700 They'll be the first to tell you.

00:24:14.100 They'll tell you that trans youth have many, what they'll call, comorbidities.

00:24:18.760 And by that, they mean that the, quote, trans youth also have, most of the time, they'll have anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar, etc., etc., etc.

00:24:27.180 In other words, these are confused, anxious people who lack mental clarity, and the gender confusion is part of that picture. 0.61

00:24:41.380 Yet doctors will ignore this fact and affirm the delusions.

00:24:47.500 So a person comes to them and says, you know, I'm depressed, I'm confused, I'm anxious, nothing makes sense, I don't know what's going on in the world.

00:24:55.900 Also, I think I'm the opposite sex.

00:24:59.420 And the doctors will go, well, then you are the opposite sex. 1.00

00:25:01.680 Eureka, you're the opposite sex, you must be. 1.00

00:25:07.320 They will look at it as, you know, either all of these other mental problems are stemming from the fact that they are, you know, a boy trapped in a girl's body, and it's not being affirmed.

00:25:23.060 Or they'll see it all as a coincidence or something like that.

00:25:25.900 But what they will not, what they refuse to acknowledge, is that, no, all those other problems come first.

00:25:37.100 This is just someone who's been confused for a long time, is struggling with all these different things.

00:25:41.840 And the trans stuff is part of that picture.

00:25:46.160 It's part of this person just kind of like grasping at some sort of clarity. 0.58

00:25:52.380 Because they're a very, they have a very clouded, muddled, confused mind.

00:26:00.160 And that should be obvious to any supposed medical expert.

00:26:03.400 And I think it is obvious to most of them.

00:26:04.840 But they will, you know, affirm the delusion anyway, which is obviously medical abuse and negligence.

00:26:15.400 And so this is exactly what needs to happen next.

00:26:18.900 This is the next step.

00:26:20.600 These quacks need to be sued into oblivion. 1.00

00:26:23.740 I mean, bankrupt them, destroy them, ruin them. 0.99

00:26:27.360 That's what needs to happen.

00:26:28.240 I mean, we've already demonstrated how these sorts of people, these doctors, including one of them specifically in this, that's named in this lawsuit.

00:26:38.420 If you sit them down and you put them in a position where they have to explain the rationale behind their treatment plans, they can't do it.

00:26:49.180 They can't explain it.

00:26:52.160 You apply the slightest bit of scrutiny to the way that they're treating their patients, and it all collapses immediately.

00:26:59.780 So, but, you know, it's one thing to do that on a podcast or to do it in a documentary.

00:27:04.200 It's another thing to do it in a court when there's millions of dollars on the line.

00:27:10.720 And so I think there's going to be a tidal wave of lawsuits like this.

00:27:16.560 We're starting to see, it's not a tidal wave yet.

00:27:18.960 We're starting to see some ripples, and it's going to be a tidal wave soon, and it should be, you know.

00:27:27.660 And I think that if there's anything that becomes kind of the final fatal blow to the gender transition industry, it's going to be this.

00:27:37.800 All right, I alluded to this in the opening monologue.

00:27:39.480 I wanted to mention it in more detail here.

00:27:41.100 This is the tweet that Nikki Haley put out.

00:27:43.300 She says, no more federal money for colleges and universities that allow anti-Semitism to flourish on campus.

00:27:50.900 Now, this is incredibly frustrating.

00:27:53.280 It really is.

00:27:56.440 And I'm all for taking federal funding away from universities.

00:27:59.880 Don't get me wrong.

00:28:01.640 But this is what gets you to finally speak up.

00:28:06.420 I mean, now you want to take federal funding away because of anti-Semitism on campus?

00:28:11.800 I mean, first of all, you could just, you can end the sentence, you know, several words earlier than that.

00:28:18.940 No more federal money for colleges and universities, period.

00:28:22.760 That should be the end of the sentence.

00:28:24.320 You don't need to give a specific reason.

00:28:25.940 There are enough reasons that just, they shouldn't be, just end the sentence there, and we're fine.

00:28:30.160 But it's just interesting that this is what, and Nikki Haley is not the only Republican, not the only supposed conservative, who's finally speaking up about the madness on college campuses because of what's happened over the last two weeks.

00:28:45.640 And listen, I am as disgusted as anyone by the pro-Hamas sentiments on campus.

00:28:52.760 But the truth is that, listen, anti-Semitism isn't even in the list of the top 10 biggest problems in the American university system.

00:29:05.600 If I were making a list of all the reasons to defund the universities, anti-Semitism would not make it very high on the list.

00:29:14.400 In fact, the number one thing on the list is not any form of bigotry at all.

00:29:19.940 In fact, the number one thing on the list is that it's, well, if it is a bigotry, it's the anti-truth bigotry.

00:29:26.680 It's the fact that these universities are indoctrinating students into an insane, false worldview.

00:29:37.280 So that's the first problem.

00:29:38.580 But, you know, anti-Semitism is not one of the, is not among the most serious problems on college campuses.

00:29:52.080 And, you know, so if you were in favor of federal funding for universities up until two weeks ago, then I think that raises some questions.

00:30:01.960 And in terms of discrimination on campuses, universities have been openly hostile to white men for years and years.

00:30:10.360 I mean, they are openly demonized on every campus, everywhere.

00:30:16.660 Okay?

00:30:17.340 And that's a group that you're allowed to demonize without any pushback.

00:30:21.360 With anti-Semitism, if someone says something really anti-Semitic, they're going to generally be chastised by almost everyone for it.

00:30:32.960 And most of the time, they'll end up retracting and apologizing.

00:30:36.500 We've seen this play out over and over again over the last couple of weeks, where you've got college professors and other people that have come out and said these grotesque things. 1.00

00:30:44.040 We just had an example on Friday of a college professor saying Israelis are pigs and they should die and burn in hell. 1.00

00:30:50.300 I mean, horrible things to say. 1.00

00:30:52.480 And the fact that they would say it at all obviously proves that there's a problem here.

00:30:55.920 But the other point is, what happened then?

00:30:59.680 Well, 12 hours later, they're apologizing because they get attacked for by everyone.

00:31:06.500 Rightly so.

00:31:08.580 Now, you compare that to what happens when you demonize white men. 0.98

00:31:15.960 Well, you can rip white men and white people in general to shreds all you want and nobody will say anything. 0.60

00:31:21.500 And oftentimes, even the people who speak up will not call it what it is. 0.98

00:31:24.820 They won't say.

00:31:25.880 Now, you can say anti-Semitism is a terrible thing.

00:31:29.900 Most people will agree with you.

00:31:32.680 Anti-white racism, though, you can't even get people to agree that that exists, even though it clearly does.

00:31:41.400 You know, the Nick Cannon situation a few years ago was, I think, a pretty instructive example of this. 0.87

00:31:45.440 In an interview, if you remember, on a podcast or something, he called white people savages and demons and other things, too. 0.94

00:31:53.340 And then he also said that black people are whatever it was. 0.98

00:31:57.680 I think he said that black people are the true Hebrews or whatever. 0.62

00:32:01.080 You know, it's black Hebrew Israelite thing he went on about.

00:32:04.720 And he ended up apologizing for being anti-Semitic.

00:32:08.340 But he did not apologize for any of the anti-white stuff, even though the anti-white stuff was much more direct and egregious. 0.99

00:32:18.740 You know, what he said about being the true Israelites or whatever was, you know, stupid and weird and all of that. 1.00

00:32:26.860 But what he said about white people is that they're savage demons or subhuman. 1.00

00:32:34.200 And there was no apology for it. 0.99

00:32:36.560 No one even demanded an apology.

00:32:39.300 And that's because anti-white bigotry is truly the only acceptable form of bigotry left.

00:32:44.600 Other forms exist, surely, but they aren't acceptable.

00:32:48.900 They aren't mainstream.

00:32:50.120 They will be condemned.

00:32:51.340 And that's why Biden will stand at the White House and denounce anti-Semitism.

00:32:56.840 He'll lump it in with Islamophobia and he'll do the moral equivalent stuff that we talked about last week.

00:33:01.100 But he will at least denounce it, right?

00:33:04.700 It may be, he might not actually mean it, but he will say the words.

00:33:11.720 He would never in a million years ever say anything about anti-white anything.

00:33:19.380 You cannot imagine anyone at the White House denouncing anti-white racism.

00:33:24.220 It would never happen, ever.

00:33:27.580 And we all know it.

00:33:29.240 So all I'm saying is if you've just now decided that you want to really crack down on the universities because of anti-Semitism and you weren't saying,

00:33:39.380 now if you've been saying all along that we should crack down the universities, withdraw funding,

00:33:43.240 if you've been criticizing the university system all along and then you add this into it as just the latest example of moral insanity on college campuses,

00:33:52.340 then great, I got no issue with you.

00:33:55.600 But if you're a Nikki Haley sort of person who has never said anything about taking funding away from universities until now, 0.98

00:34:03.920 then it tells me you're either oblivious or a coward. 0.72

00:34:10.740 And this is what the right so often does, right? 0.82

00:34:12.720 It waits to make the case until it can frame the case in a way that the left will find acceptable.

00:34:21.240 Okay, like the left may give safe harbor to anti-Semitism when it's convenient to do so. 0.77

00:34:30.920 But the left will also at least allow you to talk about anti-Semitism and to acknowledge that anti-Semitism exists.

00:34:37.620 And the left will also acknowledge it.

00:34:40.040 They'll use the phrase and they'll say, yes, that's a thing and it's bad.

00:34:43.140 It will not acknowledge anti-white racism at all.

00:34:47.800 In fact, they'll call you racist for even using the term.

00:34:51.540 So that means that many conservatives, they're not going to speak up and say, you know what?

00:34:55.460 Anti-white racism on college campuses is a big problem.

00:34:57.440 They're not going to say that because the left does not accept those terms.

00:35:01.400 So they wait until they have terms that the left will accept.

00:35:05.420 But the problem is that that has not proven to be an effective strategy.

00:35:10.360 To adopt the left's terms is never a good way of defeating the left.

00:35:14.520 I think we've shown that.

00:35:16.040 Okay, we're going to dip out of the five headlines a little bit early.

00:35:21.260 In fact, after only two headlines.

00:35:23.360 Because in the daily cancellation today, I want to leave some time for it.

00:35:26.480 It's an important conversation.

00:35:27.500 We're going to leave a little bit of extra time for it.

00:35:28.920 So let's get to, was Walsh wrong?

00:35:35.660 Bob Knows Nothing says,

00:35:36.920 You would call Jesus woke and run him back up the cross.

00:35:39.820 You never understood him. 1.00

00:35:41.200 Hypocrites. 1.00

00:35:42.280 Sunday Divine says, 1.00

00:35:43.480 If he was alive today, you people would kill Jesus. 0.99

00:35:47.560 Shelly Shell says, 0.96

00:35:49.520 I thought Jesus was all about love and acceptance.

00:35:52.740 Will says,

00:35:53.340 Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collectors and preached against judgment.

00:35:57.000 He was kind and tolerant.

00:35:58.620 He wasn't an angry bigot.

00:36:00.080 Basically, he was the opposite of you.

00:36:03.400 A couple of things there.

00:36:05.820 First of all,

00:36:07.500 and I don't mean to be pedantic,

00:36:08.960 but,

00:36:10.060 and I don't think it actually is pedantic to point this out,

00:36:12.680 that first of all,

00:36:13.580 Jesus did not hang out with prostitutes.

00:36:17.480 You hear this phrasing a lot.

00:36:19.400 You hear it sometimes even in church.

00:36:21.480 Jesus hung out with sinners.

00:36:22.640 He hung out with,

00:36:23.860 okay,

00:36:24.280 hang out.

00:36:26.200 That brings to mind an image of Jesus sort of just like laying around,

00:36:29.880 relaxing,

00:36:30.660 chilling, 1.00

00:36:31.000 throwing back a few beers with prostitutes. 1.00

00:36:33.720 That's, 0.98

00:36:33.960 that's not what happened.

00:36:37.780 Jesus ministered to these sinners,

00:36:42.560 taught them,

00:36:44.160 guided them,

00:36:45.800 called them to repentance.

00:36:48.720 And that part right there is pretty important.

00:36:51.980 And people like those who left these comments,

00:36:53.960 they always,

00:36:54.500 they forget about that part.

00:36:56.000 The call to repentance.

00:36:57.300 So anytime in the gospel,

00:37:00.220 when we hear a story about Jesus interacting with a sinner,

00:37:03.640 and everyone he interacted with was a sinner, 0.95

00:37:07.220 and in particular, 1.00

00:37:08.940 someone like a prostitute, 1.00

00:37:10.760 or an adulterer, 0.97

00:37:12.700 there's always that call to repentance.

00:37:16.960 Go and sin no more.

00:37:18.720 Famous words in the gospel.

00:37:20.440 And he repeated those words.

00:37:21.620 It wasn't just talking to the adulterer,

00:37:23.760 who was almost stoned to death,

00:37:24.620 but those exact words are words similar to it.

00:37:28.080 This was,

00:37:28.380 this was a,

00:37:28.940 this was the,

00:37:29.440 this was the message.

00:37:31.060 And that's a,

00:37:31.780 that's a really important point here.

00:37:33.500 Okay.

00:37:34.080 Because the,

00:37:35.540 the,

00:37:36.100 the image that we get is,

00:37:37.860 and the kind of modern image of Jesus is that he was,

00:37:41.100 in fact,

00:37:41.620 we just heard it there in one of the comments too.

00:37:43.800 He was,

00:37:44.200 he was against judgment.

00:37:46.040 What do you mean against judgment?

00:37:48.780 He was against wrong judgment,

00:37:51.100 judging people wrongly,

00:37:52.420 in the wrong way.

00:37:53.320 Um,

00:37:55.560 but,

00:37:58.020 uh,

00:37:58.620 there was always that call to repentance.

00:38:01.160 And there was a,

00:38:01.980 there was a reason why he was,

00:38:04.320 so of course,

00:38:04.820 if someone's a sinner, 0.63

00:38:05.660 he's not going to just leave them in their sin and say,

00:38:07.500 you're lost.

00:38:07.920 There's no hope for you.

00:38:10.720 But he also wasn't,

00:38:12.800 uh,

00:38:14.240 you know,

00:38:14.760 this,

00:38:15.100 this sort of,

00:38:15.780 um,

00:38:17.060 apathetic or nonjudgmental figure,

00:38:20.220 allowing people to sin in his presence without saying anything about it.

00:38:23.780 Uh,

00:38:24.140 in general,

00:38:24.860 Jesus was not the mild,

00:38:26.760 inoffensive,

00:38:27.600 Mr.

00:38:27.940 Rogers sort of archetype that we've tried for decades to turn him into.

00:38:33.840 In fact,

00:38:34.780 uh,

00:38:35.040 Jesus,

00:38:36.000 the God,

00:38:36.360 the gospel clearly portrays Jesus in moments could be quite aggressive,

00:38:40.500 even using physical force,

00:38:43.380 driving the money changes out of the temple.

00:38:45.040 Uh,

00:38:46.420 and also keep in mind that,

00:38:47.540 that,

00:38:47.840 you know,

00:38:48.680 the gospels,

00:38:50.800 each individual,

00:38:51.560 uh,

00:38:52.140 gospel is pretty short.

00:38:54.280 And even together,

00:38:55.120 you take the gospels all together,

00:38:56.300 it's still,

00:38:56.700 it's still pretty short.

00:38:57.600 We're getting really only a snapshot of,

00:39:00.580 uh,

00:39:00.900 of Jesus's earthly ministry,

00:39:03.060 a pretty,

00:39:03.540 a pretty short snapshot.

00:39:06.480 Um,

00:39:07.740 which gives obviously a lot of weight to each individual story that makes it in,

00:39:12.200 sort of like makes the cut.

00:39:13.260 Uh,

00:39:14.400 and the fact that the,

00:39:15.780 the cleansing of the temple makes the cut should tell us something.

00:39:20.240 As far as being angry.

00:39:21.420 Now,

00:39:22.020 Jesus wasn't an angry bigot.

00:39:23.480 That's correct.

00:39:24.220 And that he wasn't a bigot,

00:39:25.200 but was good.

00:39:25.880 Did Jesus display anger?

00:39:28.480 Yes.

00:39:29.680 Quite frequently.

00:39:30.480 In fact,

00:39:31.140 this is one of the things if you've kind of absorbed this,

00:39:35.620 this idea from the popular imagination that Jesus is this Mr.

00:39:39.760 Rogers type of a very,

00:39:40.980 very meek and mild,

00:39:42.960 nonjudgmental,

00:39:44.000 didn't get angry.

00:39:44.700 If you absorb this notion and then you do something radical,

00:39:49.300 like you actually sit down and read the gospels for yourself,

00:39:52.540 you're going to be shocked by just how angry Jesus was through portions of the story.

00:40:00.920 Uh,

00:40:01.400 and just how sort of,

00:40:02.620 uh,

00:40:02.960 no nonsense he could be when,

00:40:05.180 when dealing with,

00:40:06.200 uh,

00:40:06.400 with,

00:40:06.840 uh,

00:40:07.180 with people,

00:40:07.740 especially unrepentant sinners.

00:40:11.760 And why is that?

00:40:12.600 It's because despite what some of these comments are saying,

00:40:15.080 love and acceptance,

00:40:16.240 uh,

00:40:17.160 are not the same thing.

00:40:18.380 They do not go hand in hand.

00:40:19.420 In fact,

00:40:19.820 oftentimes they can be the opposite.

00:40:22.960 To love someone is to will the good for them.

00:40:25.000 It's to want them.

00:40:25.860 It's want what is best for them.

00:40:27.720 Ultimately,

00:40:28.240 as a Christian to love someone means that you want them to go to heaven.

00:40:31.900 So it means to love somebody.

00:40:33.620 And so if you are accepting parts of them and,

00:40:37.140 and aspects of their behavior,

00:40:38.820 that's leading them away from salvation,

00:40:42.720 then that's not love.

00:40:44.580 That is,

00:40:45.380 uh,

00:40:46.260 might not be hatred either.

00:40:47.540 It's,

00:40:47.840 it's indifference,

00:40:48.720 which as we know is the true opposite of love.

00:40:51.400 All right.

00:40:52.000 We,

00:40:52.300 we do have a winner though.

00:40:53.020 I also want to mention this.

00:40:53.960 Uh,

00:40:54.520 Walsh was wrong.

00:40:55.460 I actually was wrong on Friday.

00:40:56.940 We talked about a professor called Micah Tosca, 0.96

00:40:59.480 who landed in hot water for an absurdly over the top post calling Israelis pigs. 0.94

00:41:04.200 We should, 1.00

00:41:04.720 we should burn in hell. 1.00

00:41:05.500 We just mentioned that again. 1.00

00:41:06.860 Um,

00:41:07.480 I know absolutely nothing about Micah Tosca other than this post,

00:41:11.580 but I had several comments telling me that I got a crucial fact wrong.

00:41:15.340 Like this one from someone called Tafari.

00:41:17.840 It says that professor you're referring to is a male and you're referring to him as she.

00:41:21.980 Maybe it's a mistake,

00:41:22.860 but I have to put it out there.

00:41:24.300 I hope it's a mistake and you're not slowly caving to the mob.

00:41:27.820 Uh,

00:41:28.240 yes,

00:41:28.480 it is a mistake.

00:41:29.040 Actually,

00:41:29.440 like I said,

00:41:29.860 I know nothing about this person whatsoever.

00:41:31.700 I read his name in an article and that's the only thing I know,

00:41:35.320 but I did look it up after seeing a bunch of comments like this.

00:41:38.360 And sure enough,

00:41:39.200 it appears that Mike Tosca,

00:41:41.020 well,

00:41:41.540 Micah Tosca,

00:41:42.240 probably actually Mike Tosca is a man.

00:41:44.000 So we should correct the record there.

00:41:46.200 Uh,

00:41:46.560 and you got me.

00:41:47.180 I was wrong about one thing.

00:41:48.280 As for the,

00:41:49.040 the fear that I was aware of this person's true identity and decided to respect his pronouns anyway.

00:41:55.520 Um,

00:41:56.080 I,

00:41:56.220 if you consider that to be even within the realm of possibility,

00:42:00.760 then,

00:42:01.540 uh,

00:42:01.880 I don't,

00:42:02.240 then you must not listen to the show very often.

00:42:04.680 I've said before,

00:42:05.420 and I mean it.

00:42:05.940 I, 0.92

00:42:06.280 I would not respect someone's pronouns with a gun to my head. 0.97

00:42:10.280 I truly wouldn't.

00:42:11.460 That's how serious I take it.

00:42:15.080 Wasn't error though,

00:42:15.960 but you got me.

00:42:16.760 I was wrong.

00:42:17.780 One time.

00:42:18.720 Won't happen again.

00:42:20.240 Are you still getting your chocolate from woke companies?

00:42:42.480 Today is the last chance to stock up now in time for Halloween.

00:42:45.360 Go to jeremyschocolate.com today.

00:42:48.300 Now let's get to our daily cancellation.

00:42:49.480 I have in the past on this show given John Oliver a bit of a hard time.

00:43:00.100 And it's easy to give him a hard time seeing as he is such a smarmy, 0.94

00:43:03.060 insufferable little British Muppet. 0.96

00:43:05.120 But my biggest issue with John Oliver isn't that he is an annoying, 1.00

00:43:08.280 smug bastard. 1.00

00:43:08.920 It's that he's an annoying, 1.00

00:43:10.580 smug bastard who thinks that his own IQ is about 40 points higher than it 1.00

00:43:14.260 really is. 1.00

00:43:15.140 He makes very lame and very trite arguments that to the suggestible viewer,

00:43:20.400 pass for clever and intelligent because he has a live audience of trained

00:43:23.780 SEALs applauding the whole time.

00:43:26.100 He also spends a lot of time making his lame and trite arguments.

00:43:29.080 You know,

00:43:29.180 he harps on one subject for almost half an hour,

00:43:31.160 which tricks his gullible fans into thinking that he's being thorough.

00:43:34.540 They see that he has a 25 minute monologue on a certain subject and they

00:43:37.980 figure that it must be like the definitive smackdown on that topic because

00:43:42.420 it's 25 minutes long.

00:43:43.760 What they don't realize is that he's actually just restating the same shallow

00:43:47.880 dubious premise over and over again for 25 minutes.

00:43:52.220 This is how he dupes the credulous rubes among us, 1.00

00:43:54.740 which is a problem because there are a lot of credulous rubes among us. 1.00

00:43:58.440 So when I heard that John Oliver took on the issue of homeschooling in one of his

00:44:03.860 most recent shows, 0.98

00:44:04.920 I expected his rant to be incredibly dumb and misleading because they always are. 0.98

00:44:10.840 But then I watched it and I discovered that it's even worse than I assumed. 0.98

00:44:15.120 As always with John Oliver,

00:44:16.320 you'll find his monologues less and less persuasive,

00:44:19.260 the more personally knowledgeable you are about the subject.

00:44:22.560 And we have been homeschooling our kids for nearly a decade.

00:44:24.820 So it landed especially flat for me,

00:44:26.780 but I'm going to go through the monologue in extensive detail so that you can hear it for

00:44:30.620 yourself.

00:44:30.880 Unlike John Oliver,

00:44:31.840 I don't believe in cherry picking.

00:44:33.460 So we're going to go through this.

00:44:35.280 Now,

00:44:35.820 Oliver's basic position is that there isn't enough regulation on homeschooling parents. 1.00

00:44:40.780 He insists that a large number of us are abusive and negligent and stupid, 0.99

00:44:43.900 and we need greater oversight to make sure that we are teaching our children in a way that the 1.00

00:44:48.360 state finds acceptable.

00:44:49.820 Actually,

00:44:50.100 John Oliver wants to make sure that we're teaching our children in a way that John Oliver

00:44:53.740 finds acceptable.

00:44:54.680 But it just so happens that John Oliver's views and priorities are indistinguishable

00:44:58.080 from the state's.

00:44:59.280 He has paid millions of dollars a year to say things on camera,

00:45:02.620 yet he never says anything that any generic bureaucrat wouldn't say.

00:45:06.520 He just uses a little bit more profanity when he says it.

00:45:09.480 Don't take it from me,

00:45:10.380 though.

00:45:11.320 Let's dive in.

00:45:12.280 Watch.

00:45:13.360 We're going to talk about homeschooling.

00:45:15.260 During the pandemic,

00:45:16.180 many parents were suddenly forced to do it.

00:45:18.220 And while some struggled,

00:45:19.200 others like this family absolutely thrived.

00:45:22.180 A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, B, W, X, Y, N, Z.

00:45:32.500 Now you know your ABCs.

00:45:35.480 That is clearly excellent.

00:45:37.560 But it's also, 0.98

00:45:38.340 it is also a pretty mean way to make other parents look like total s**t. 0.96

00:45:43.840 Okay, now this is how Oliver begins the segment. 0.84

00:45:47.480 He gives props to some homeschooling parents

00:45:49.620 so that he has licensed to spend the next 20 minutes

00:45:52.040 accusing the rest of us of being Nazis and child abusers.

00:45:55.320 But keep in mind that this is what Oliver considers to be

00:45:58.520 clearly excellent homeschooling.

00:46:01.120 Shooting a TikTok video of your kids dancing to an ABC rap

00:46:04.740 when at least four of those kids are obviously

00:46:06.840 way too old to still be reviewing the ABCs at all

00:46:09.860 is what qualifies as homeschooling so magnificent,

00:46:13.600 John Oliver says,

00:46:14.420 that it makes other parents, quote, 0.98

00:46:15.940 feel like s**t. 0.91

00:46:17.860 That's something to remember as Oliver begins giving examples 0.92

00:46:20.060 of what in his mind qualify as laughably awful homeschooling.

00:46:25.020 Also, you know, if you're the cynical type,

00:46:28.180 you may have already noted that Oliver's example 0.77

00:46:30.560 of good homeschooling comes from a black family.

00:46:34.040 And you might say to yourself, 0.87

00:46:35.320 well, of course, yeah, that's what he would do.

00:46:37.260 And yes, you're right.

00:46:38.000 That is totally intentional.

00:46:39.100 Throughout the monologue,

00:46:40.120 he gives three examples of sympathetic homeschool families

00:46:43.280 and they're all black.

00:46:45.040 All the examples of bad homeschoolers, 0.99

00:46:47.140 on the other hand, are white.

00:46:48.500 That is how utterly predictable and contrived all of this is.

00:46:52.540 With that, let's continue.

00:46:55.060 And you may have heard a stereotype of homeschoolers

00:46:58.320 being Christian conservatives who object 0.56

00:47:00.400 to what kids learn in public school environments.

00:47:02.720 And I admit those people do exist.

00:47:05.300 Take this man who offers this pretty shaky rationalization

00:47:08.140 for pulling his kid out of school.

00:47:09.480 I think the type of content 0.99

00:47:12.140 on what they're teaching about sex or anal sex 0.99

00:47:16.160 that my third grade daughter should not be in a classroom 0.99

00:47:20.540 where a teacher or someone else is teaching her about that.

00:47:23.740 And that was your experience in school?

00:47:25.960 I threw friends in other spots that hadn't been kids at those ages

00:47:30.600 because mine was only in first grade when we pulled him. 0.95

00:47:33.960 Well, that sounds like total bull****. 0.51

00:47:37.300 Although I guess I do basically agree with him there.

00:47:39.440 Things that are definitely not happening should continue not to happen.

00:47:43.360 Now, here we have, of course, a patented John Oliver tactic,

00:47:47.400 which is scoffing in place of an actual argument.

00:47:50.640 This is all Oliver will do to even acknowledge the concerns

00:47:53.740 over sexually inappropriate subject matter in public school,

00:47:56.940 despite the fact that these concerns are a major primary driving force

00:48:01.320 behind the growth of homeschooling.

00:48:03.700 So you would think that he would spend a little bit more time on it.

00:48:07.040 But Oliver simply declares that all of those concerns are, quote, 0.92

00:48:10.120 total bull**** and moves on. 0.86

00:48:12.740 You notice what he doesn't do? 0.96

00:48:14.220 He doesn't go into any specific detail or any detail at all

00:48:17.280 about the actual content of public school comprehensive sex ed curricula. 0.99

00:48:22.080 You know, he doesn't say, that's bull****. 0.97

00:48:23.820 Here's what sex ed classes are really teaching. 0.95

00:48:26.700 He doesn't do that because he knows that if he provided that kind of context,

00:48:30.480 it would undercut his point instead of proving it.

00:48:33.380 He knows that there are a great many sex ed courses in public schools

00:48:37.160 like the one co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood

00:48:39.180 for kids aged 11 to 13 and recently highlighted by the Daily Signal

00:48:42.720 that, among other things, lists among its core objectives

00:48:45.700 that it wants to, quote, normalize masturbation. 0.77

00:48:49.600 Now, John Oliver doesn't want to say, 1.00

00:48:51.680 hey, you dumb parents, take it easy. 1.00

00:48:53.700 All the schools want to do is talk to your 11-year-old about masturbation. 1.00

00:48:57.640 He doesn't want to say that, so he doesn't say it, 0.84

00:48:59.720 but that's essentially his message.

00:49:01.880 There are, of course, a great many specific examples like this

00:49:04.920 of comprehensive sex ed classes in high school, middle school,

00:49:07.320 and even elementary school that cover all kinds of sexually explicit topics

00:49:11.260 that no sane parent wants some strange adult talking to their kids about.

00:49:16.380 There are also the pornographic books that are offered to students

00:49:18.980 in schools all across the country, books like Genderqueer. 0.98

00:49:22.940 And that's a book that discusses and shows images of oral sex, 0.99

00:49:26.140 masturbation, sex toys, etc. 1.00

00:49:28.880 And you don't have to take it from me that Genderqueer 0.98

00:49:31.100 is in schools all around the country.

00:49:32.980 Take it from the leftists who have conniption fits

00:49:35.460 and start screaming about book burning

00:49:37.160 if you try to remove that book and those like it from the classroom.

00:49:41.540 Speaking of which, Ron DeSantis banned lessons about gender identity

00:49:45.060 and sexuality for kids in pre-K through third grade,

00:49:48.360 and the left, again, exploded with rage.

00:49:51.620 John Oliver says that it's total b****

00:49:53.540 that any schools are teaching those kinds of subjects to kids that young.

00:49:56.840 Well, if that's the case,

00:49:58.160 then why did his own side cry out in horror

00:50:00.520 when DeSantis banned discussions that Oliver claims aren't happening anyway?

00:50:05.460 Now, these are questions that Oliver doesn't want you to ask. 0.95

00:50:08.980 Instead, you just clap along and laugh at his crappy jokes 0.57

00:50:12.160 and don't think too deeply about any of it.

00:50:14.360 The ceiling of how good homeschooling can be is admittedly very high.

00:50:19.260 But the flaw of how bad it can get is basically non-existent.

00:50:23.800 Because to an extent that you may not realize,

00:50:25.800 in many parts of the country,

00:50:27.260 homeschooling is essentially unregulated,

00:50:29.200 which can result in enormous damage.

00:50:31.320 So, given that, tonight, let's take a look at homeschooling.

00:50:34.520 And let's start with the fact

00:50:35.260 that there is a lot that we don't know about homeschooled kids,

00:50:37.780 from exactly how many there are to what they are learning.

00:50:41.000 When I said there are around 2 million of them,

00:50:43.580 the reason that's an estimate is that, depending on the state,

00:50:46.120 homeschooled families might not have to report

00:50:47.940 what they are doing at all.

00:50:49.560 In these 26 states, parents simply have to file a notice once a year

00:50:53.420 with officials to let them know that they are homeschooling their child.

00:50:56.560 In these 13, they only have to file a notice once

00:50:59.400 with no requirement to check in ever again.

00:51:02.580 And in the remaining 11, they don't have to notify anyone at all.

00:51:06.340 Oh, dear God, can you imagine the horror?

00:51:09.900 You mean to tell me there are potentially millions of parents out there

00:51:12.500 who are, you know, talking to their kids and teaching them

00:51:15.540 and guiding them and telling them things

00:51:16.900 without providing the state and John Oliver

00:51:19.080 with a full written account of everything they're saying?

00:51:22.120 I mean, it's almost like these families believe

00:51:23.680 they should have privacy and self-determination and freedom.

00:51:27.080 How presumptuous of them.

00:51:28.480 How dare they?

00:51:29.560 You can't just go teaching stuff to your own children,

00:51:32.480 especially if you haven't cleared it with John Oliver yet.

00:51:34.340 John Oliver will decide what you're allowed to say

00:51:36.520 to your own kids in your own home.

00:51:37.720 Thank you very much.

00:51:39.500 After all, as he argues, many of these parents

00:51:41.380 are providing inadequate educations to their children.

00:51:44.660 Here is one parent enthusiastically explaining

00:51:46.900 how he taught his kids science.

00:51:49.040 I can't tell you how many times, you know,

00:51:51.100 in my home, in our kitchen table,

00:51:52.760 we've dissected, you know, sheep eyeballs or frogs.

00:51:57.380 Kitchen, kitchens are great labs for this kind of thing. 0.73

00:52:01.020 Where does somebody, where does somebody get a sheep eyeball?

00:52:04.340 Well, John, you can just Google sheep eyeball for homeschoolers.

00:52:08.160 I didn't know that.

00:52:08.660 There's lots of people.

00:52:09.500 Absolutely.

00:52:10.960 Okay.

00:52:11.860 First, are kitchens the best lab for this kind of thing?

00:52:16.480 I think probably labs are the best lab for this kind of thing.

00:52:19.840 I'm just like, maybe don't go dissecting sheep eyeballs

00:52:22.500 in the same place where you cut olives for salad. 1.00

00:52:26.020 Yeah, you idiot homeschoolers. 1.00

00:52:27.900 I mean, don't cut into the carcasses of dead animals in your kitchen. 1.00

00:52:31.960 John Oliver would never do that,

00:52:33.380 which I guess means he's never made any meat dish at all in his life.

00:52:36.880 I mean, I've cut into the raw flesh of cows, chickens, pigs, deer, turkey,

00:52:40.940 other animals in my kitchen. 0.99

00:52:42.700 I didn't realize the kitchen was a place just for slicing olives, you dork. 0.99

00:52:47.840 Now, I will say that I certainly won't be accepting 0.98

00:52:49.900 any dinner invitations from John Oliver.

00:52:51.700 First, because I'll never receive one.

00:52:53.000 Second, because he's apparently a vegetarian.

00:52:54.660 And third, because he evidently doesn't realize that you can use soap

00:52:58.560 to disinfect your cooking surfaces.

00:53:01.240 But the real point is that Oliver is inviting us to laugh at a homeschool dad

00:53:05.600 who's obviously going to great lengths to provide a very thorough scientific education

00:53:10.360 to his children.

00:53:11.220 Like, this should be an example of one of the good homeschoolers,

00:53:14.400 but this is Oliver's example of a bad homeschool education.

00:53:17.920 The ABC rap was a good example, but this guy who's doing dissections

00:53:24.180 with his actual biology classes with his kids, that's a bad example. 0.98

00:53:31.920 If he needed more evidence that this guy is a clown 0.98

00:53:34.260 who shouldn't be taken even remotely seriously, well, there you go. 0.99

00:53:37.880 And somehow it gets worse.

00:53:40.820 It is absolutely a parent's right to educate their child with religion if they so choose.

00:53:46.520 But the quality of some of these books can be troubling.

00:53:50.840 For instance, one current Abeka history book says that the beginning of the 20th century

00:53:54.820 witnessed a cultural breakdown that threatened to destroy the very roots

00:53:57.700 of Western civilization.

00:53:59.280 The cause of this dissolution was an ideal philosophy known as liberalism.

00:54:04.280 Meanwhile, a workbook from ACE celebrates the Confederate General Robert E. Lee

00:54:08.100 as a devoted Christian who practiced his Christianity in all his dealings with others.

00:54:14.580 Uh, yes?

00:54:16.520 What's your point?

00:54:17.880 Both of those statements are true.

00:54:19.960 At the very least, they are intellectually defensible perspectives.

00:54:23.500 But Oliver, again, simply scoffs at them and in the process inadvertently proves why

00:54:27.720 homeschooling is so important in the first place.

00:54:30.180 He believes it is an objective and self-evident fact that liberalism has been an unquestioned

00:54:35.460 force for good in the world and that Confederates were all cartoon villains fighting for nothing

00:54:39.900 more than the continued subjugation of black people. 0.79

00:54:41.960 He's not even smart or introspective enough to realize that his views on that, on those 0.78

00:54:47.320 topics are subjective.

00:54:49.020 So when his subjective views are taught as fact in public school, and they are, he sees

00:54:54.680 no legitimate reason for anyone to object.

00:54:57.520 Indeed, anyone who does object is obviously a Nazi. 0.87

00:55:00.700 And he makes that connection explicit.

00:55:04.540 Even that is a preferable alternative to the single worst homeschool curriculum that we found,

00:55:10.400 whose creators excitedly promoted it on a podcast.

00:55:13.620 We are so deeply invested into making sure that that child becomes a wonderful Nazi. 0.90

00:55:22.580 And by homeschooling, we're going to get that done.

00:55:27.100 Well, that is terrifying.

00:55:29.160 Now, you should know that Oliver actually lingers on these Nazi homeschoolers for multiple minutes. 0.61

00:55:37.560 He dedicates a sizable chunk of his monologue to this podcast nobody's ever heard of or listened

00:55:43.420 to, and this one random whack job who represents at most maybe, I don't know, 0.00000001% of

00:55:51.960 homeschoolers, if that many.

00:55:53.200 He can't begin to engage with the actual arguments for homeschooling, the reasons that the vast

00:55:58.840 majority of homeschool parents would actually give.

00:56:01.760 So instead, he draws our attention to the most outlandish, obscure outlier he can possibly

00:56:06.700 find.

00:56:07.760 Now, Oliver may be a pedestrian midwit, but he certainly at least realizes that the number 0.99

00:56:12.480 of homeschool parents who want to turn their kids into, quote, wonderful Nazis is not large

00:56:17.040 enough to fill a school bus, much less warrant a mention during this segment.

00:56:20.180 But he throws them in there anyway as a means of blatant emotional manipulation and to set

00:56:25.460 the stage for this.

00:56:28.180 Deregulating homeschooling doesn't just eliminate safeguards against parents who are bad teachers.

00:56:33.080 It also eliminates them against parents who are bad people.

00:56:36.400 For all the HSLDA's talk of parental rights, it's worth remembering Elon Musk is a parent.

00:56:41.720 OJ Simpson is a parent.

00:56:43.740 Darth Vader is such a parent, he made it part of his fancy name change.

00:56:48.360 The point is, having a child does not inherently make you virtuous.

00:56:52.680 And one of the key problems here is child welfare laws were written before homeschooling was

00:56:58.340 legal in all 50 states.

00:57:00.320 So they rely heavily on the premise that a child is going to be in school and seen by

00:57:05.640 other adults.

00:57:07.600 Yeah, Elon Musk is a parent.

00:57:09.240 I mean, you wouldn't want Elon Musk teaching.

00:57:10.820 You wouldn't want a guy who's building rocket ships, going into space, teaching your kids,

00:57:16.480 right?

00:57:16.980 Obviously, a third grade science teacher is better equipped than Elon Musk to teach science.

00:57:22.660 Obviously.

00:57:24.460 So there it is.

00:57:25.420 Homeschool is a cover for child abusers, he contends.

00:57:28.520 Many homeschool parents are using homeschool to hide the abuse they're inflicting on their

00:57:32.300 children.

00:57:33.140 Because of this, he argues, there should be all manner of regulation and monitoring and background

00:57:36.940 checks imposed on all parents who wish to educate their own children.

00:57:39.680 He says that we should all be screened for red flags, among other measures. 0.99

00:57:45.900 Now, it's true, of course, that some parents are scumbags who abuse their kids. 0.99

00:57:50.680 It would follow that a certain portion of those scumbags, a small minority, are probably 1.00

00:57:54.580 homeschoolers. 0.95

00:57:55.640 But it does not follow that all parents who homeschool should therefore be treated as

00:58:00.680 suspected child abusers.

00:58:03.360 You know, homeschool aside, the sad reality is that a certain portion of parents will use

00:58:07.760 the physical privacy of their homes as a forum for inflicting all manner of abuse on their

00:58:13.360 children.

00:58:14.140 But it doesn't follow that all families who insist on privacy in their homes should be

00:58:19.120 treated as suspicious.

00:58:21.000 Nor does it mean that locking your front door is a red flag indicating that you're likely

00:58:25.020 abusing your children.

00:58:26.020 Now, I acknowledge that a minority of awful parents do terrible things to their kids, but

00:58:30.880 I will not tolerate the state treating me like I'm one of those parents when I'm not.

00:58:36.940 See, this is not a hard concept to understand, or at least it shouldn't be.

00:58:41.940 Besides, John, the abuse problem cuts both ways.

00:58:45.960 Yes, some parents are abusive.

00:58:47.500 Also, some teachers are abusive.

00:58:49.900 Not just some, many.

00:58:51.320 In fact, the Department of Education's own study on this subject found that one in ten

00:58:56.260 public school students are targets of sexual misconduct by school staff.

00:59:01.140 One in ten.

00:59:03.140 That is the Department of Education.

00:59:04.940 That is their number, not mine. 0.67

00:59:07.700 That works out to millions of victims at school.

00:59:13.020 Now, Oliver says that school is a safeguard against abuse, but forgets to mention that for

00:59:18.760 millions of children, school is the place where the abuse occurs.

00:59:23.200 Now, this is a common theme.

00:59:24.580 He talks about the failures and pitfalls of homeschooling, but never acknowledges any of

00:59:29.600 the failures and pitfalls of public schooling.

00:59:32.200 He tells us about what he considers to be the poor education provided by homeschool parents,

00:59:36.280 but doesn't say anything about the fact that large percentage of public school kids aren't

00:59:39.620 learning much at all.

00:59:41.920 A recent report in the Scientific American revealed that two-thirds of kids in this country,

00:59:45.520 most of them public schooled, can't read fluently.

00:59:47.900 According to the NAEP, only a third of eighth graders are proficient in reading.

00:59:52.620 In other subjects, the picture is even more grim. 0.99

00:59:54.800 It's well known that a significant preponderance of American adults are shockingly ignorant 0.67

00:59:58.300 about geography, history, civics, not to mention math and science.

01:00:03.740 Most adults today were public schooled, and yet nobody would deny that we're surrounded by 1.00

01:00:07.980 morons. 1.00

01:00:09.680 I mean, the proof is all around us. 1.00

01:00:11.960 Look at the poll released this summer finding that 40% of Americans don't even know why we

01:00:16.000 celebrate July 4th, for instance.

01:00:18.720 And we could go on and on with examples like this.

01:00:20.880 It's the world that public school has created.

01:00:24.720 And this is another major reason why parents are pulling their kids out of the system,

01:00:28.660 because the system is failing in its basic responsibility to actually educate the next

01:00:33.700 generation of Americans.

01:00:34.680 Oliver doesn't grapple with that, doesn't even so much as acknowledge it.

01:00:40.820 Instead, he says this.

01:00:42.060 The fact is, teachers serve multiple functions at school, in addition to education.

01:00:47.580 They watch out for signs of abuse, they chaperone school events, and they pretend not to know

01:00:52.300 why Ellie won't sit next to Rachel, Rachel won't sit next to Kelsey, Kelsey's not talking 1.00

01:00:56.400 to Ethan, even though Ethan's having a joint birthday party with Kelsey's brother Bryce,

01:00:59.940 who just happens to be Rachel's boyfriend since last period.

01:01:02.560 And they do all of that, while also trying to teach long division, teachers are superheroes

01:01:07.160 who should make a million dollars a year.

01:01:10.520 There you go. 0.84

01:01:11.440 Homeschool parents are Nazi child abusers, and public school teachers are superheroes. 0.95

01:01:16.080 Never mind that they're churning out millions of kids who can't read or perform basic arithmetic 0.97

01:01:20.100 or point to South America on a map.

01:01:22.660 They're superheroes.

01:01:23.540 That's it.

01:01:24.260 Please clap.

01:01:26.060 John Oliver has once again demonstrated that he has the intellectual depth of a piss-tainted

01:01:29.740 children's waiting pool.

01:01:31.320 And we haven't even gotten to the worst argument he makes against homeschooling,

01:01:34.280 which he saves for the very end.

01:01:35.860 Listen.

01:01:37.160 In a perfect world, we'd make sure that homeschooled kids were both safe and actually receiving

01:01:43.240 a functional education.

01:01:44.420 And there are smaller organizations like this one pushing for those sort of changes.

01:01:48.540 But at the barest minimum, we could require in all 50 states to register a child as homeschooled

01:01:55.540 so there's at least a record that they exist.

01:01:58.420 That is how low the bar is here.

01:02:01.580 Yes, a record that they exist.

01:02:03.300 Otherwise, nobody would know they exist.

01:02:04.680 There would be no record of the child's existence other than the child's birth certificate and

01:02:09.300 social security number and medical records and the fact that they're claimed on your taxes

01:02:13.160 and several other forms of documentation.

01:02:15.280 Aside from all that, aside from the fact that your child's existence is definitely already

01:02:19.340 documented a dozen times over, aside from that, you need to report as a homeschooler to the state

01:02:24.980 or nobody will know that your child is even a real person.

01:02:28.140 Now, Oliver makes the time to convey this delusional concern about homeschooling, but dedicates no time

01:02:33.140 at all to honestly engaging with any of the concerns about public schooling, which is, of course,

01:02:39.260 how he approaches every issue he talks about. 0.99

01:02:41.000 Because he is a self-satisfied, pompous, dishonest, mush-brained prick. 0.98

01:02:46.380 A man who, we can tell, was certainly not homeschooled himself, which is maybe the best argument for 1.00

01:02:52.160 homeschooling that I can offer.

01:02:54.300 And it's also why John Oliver is today, once again, canceled.

01:02:59.620 That'll do it for the show today.

01:03:00.680 Thanks for watching.

01:03:01.140 Thanks for listening.

01:03:01.700 Talk to you tomorrow.

01:03:03.400 Have a great day.

01:03:04.100 Godspeed.

01:03:04.460 Godspeed.
