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
00:02:00.060
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
00:02:10.220
And I'm talking about testimony from the chief medical examiner in Minneapolis, a man named
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
00:02:24.780
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
00:03:00.780
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.
00:03:22.680
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?
00:03:50.480
I mean, in fact, it seems like the whole thing.
00:03:53.660
The entire narrative surrounding the death of George Floyd up to this point was that Chauvin's
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.
00:04:19.380
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
00:04:52.880
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
00:05:06.300
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.
00:06:06.040
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
00:06:23.700
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.
00:06:32.220
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
00:06:55.640
And it was like, all of a sudden, light bulbs just went on for those people, I think, that
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
00:07:16.580
He did not provide life-saving measures for George Floyd when he knew that the guy was
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?
00:07:37.040
He had ample to roll him over and start CPR, and he didn't.
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
00:07:57.800
We're still told that Derek Chauvin kneeled on George Floyd's neck and killed him, murdered
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
00:08:19.500
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.
00:08:42.280
He's guilty of second-degree murder, is what they're saying.
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
00:09:09.620
That's why they were so relieved when this woman says, well, actually, it doesn't matter that
00:09:14.960
It's not about what he did, it's what he didn't do, which is totally wrong and nonsensical,
00:09:23.380
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.
00:09:35.760
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
00:09:44.800
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
00:10:06.120
Now, to give you an idea of how corrupted the judicial system is, Chauvin didn't have
00:10:13.460
If he had chosen a bench trial, he still would have been convicted.
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.
00:10:31.620
He held back the crowd that was badgering and threatening officers as Derek Chauvin restrained
00:10:40.720
He wasn't even looking at the arrest because he was focused on the crowd.
00:10:45.880
His only crime was being in the general vicinity while a black man overdosed on poison that he
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
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.
00:11:33.160
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?
00:11:50.920
It's very common, if you see, even the U.S. Supreme Court above the entrance, equal justice
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
00:12:23.240
It is more often a goal, in my mind, than an accomplishment.
00:12:35.660
He tells everyone to attend implicit bias training.
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.
00:12:49.140
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
00:13:02.920
Now, a few moments ago, I mentioned revelations in the legal complaint by former Minneapolis
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
00:13:21.060
And these prosecutors believed that charging these other officers violated their profession.
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
00:13:38.280
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
00:13:55.160
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.
00:14:02.480
And now we have overwhelming evidence of that, and a lot of people, conservatives anyway, are
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
00:14:22.620
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
00:14:33.540
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.
00:14:52.500
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,
00:15:20.600
Just like Hunter Biden, the point of this new effort is to hide her own corruption.
00:15:23.620
As the Independent reports, quote, Cullors is leaning into her art these days,
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,
00:16:23.040
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.
00:16:51.000
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.
00:17:26.640
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.
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.
00:18:20.860
And she's now suggesting that some of these universities should lose federal funding.
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.
00:18:37.240
It'd be a good place to start, even if it's an extraordinarily delayed response.
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.
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.
00:19:39.080
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.
00:19:44.400
Sexual innuendos, crude language, the emasculation of men, and let's not forget toxic feminism.
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

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.
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?
00:21:54.040
The infamous Do Chickens Cry lady, that's her, and she's getting sued by this patient.
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.
00:22:26.620
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.
00:22:37.100
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,
00:23:04.200
I think anyone who's been diagnosed with DID is either faking it, or they're very, very confused.
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.
00:23:47.480
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.
00:24:14.100
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.
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.
00:24:59.420
And the doctors will go, well, then you are the opposite sex.
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.
00:25:46.160
It's part of this person just kind of like grasping at some sort of clarity.
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.
00:26:04.840
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.
00:26:23.740
I mean, bankrupt them, destroy them, ruin them.
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.
00:26:52.160
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.
00:27:43.300
She says, no more federal money for colleges and universities that allow anti-Semitism to flourish on campus.
00:27:56.440
And I'm all for taking federal funding away from universities.
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.
00:28:25.940
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.
00:29:38.580
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.
00:30:17.340
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.
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.
00:30:52.480
And the fact that they would say it at all obviously proves that there's a problem here.
00:30:59.680
Well, 12 hours later, they're apologizing because they get attacked for by everyone.
00:31:08.580
Now, you compare that to what happens when you demonize white men.
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.
00:31:21.500
And oftentimes, even the people who speak up will not call it what it is.
00:31:25.880
Now, you can say anti-Semitism is a terrible thing.
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.
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.
00:31:53.340
And then he also said that black people are whatever it was.
00:31:57.680
I think he said that black people are the true Hebrews or whatever.
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.
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.
00:32:26.860
But what he said about white people is that they're savage demons or subhuman.
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.
00:32:51.340
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.
00:33:04.700
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.
00:33:29.240
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,
00:33:55.600
But if you're a Nikki Haley sort of person who has never said anything about taking funding away from universities until now,
00:34:03.920
then it tells me you're either oblivious or a coward.
00:34:10.740
And this is what the right so often does, right?
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.
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.
00:34:40.040
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.
00:35:16.040
Okay, we're going to dip out of the five headlines a little bit early.
00:35:23.360
Because in the daily cancellation today, I want to leave some time for it.
00:35:27.500
We're going to leave a little bit of extra time for it.
00:35:36.920
You would call Jesus woke and run him back up the cross.
00:35:43.480
If he was alive today, you people would kill Jesus.
00:35:49.520
I thought Jesus was all about love and acceptance.
00:35:53.340
Jesus hung out with prostitutes and tax collectors and preached against judgment.
00:36:10.060
and I don't think it actually is pedantic to point this out,
00:36:26.200
That brings to mind an image of Jesus sort of just like laying around,
00:37:00.220
when we hear a story about Jesus interacting with a sinner,
00:37:37.860
and the kind of modern image of Jesus is that he was,
00:37:41.620
we just heard it there in one of the comments too.
00:38:05.660
he's not going to just leave them in their sin and say,
00:38:20.220
allowing people to sin in his presence without saying anything about it.
00:38:27.940
Rogers sort of archetype that we've tried for decades to turn him into.
00:38:36.360
the gospel clearly portrays Jesus in moments could be quite aggressive,
00:39:07.740
which gives obviously a lot of weight to each individual story that makes it in,
00:39:15.780
the cleansing of the temple makes the cut should tell us something.
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.
00:39:44.700
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.
00:40:12.600
It's because despite what some of these comments are saying,
00:40:28.240
as a Christian to love someone means that you want them to go to heaven.
00:40:56.940
We talked about a professor called Micah Tosca,
00:40:59.480
who landed in hot water for an absurdly over the top post calling Israelis pigs.
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.
00:41:17.840
It says that professor you're referring to is a male and you're referring to him as she.
00:41:24.300
I hope it's a mistake and you're not slowly caving to the mob.
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.
00:41:49.040
the fear that I was aware of this person's true identity and decided to respect his pronouns anyway.
00:41:56.220
if you consider that to be even within the realm of possibility,
00:42:02.240
then you must not listen to the show very often.
00:42:06.280
I would not respect someone's pronouns with a gun to my head.
00:42:20.240
Are you still getting your chocolate from woke companies?
00:42:30.060
her nutless because whether it's Halloween or not,
00:42:32.280
Jeremy's chocolate knows not everyone can be a mummy.
00:42:36.220
Get yours in full size or a shareable microaggression size.
00:42:42.480
Today is the last chance to stock up now in time for Halloween.
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,
00:43:05.120
But my biggest issue with John Oliver isn't that he is an annoying,
00:43:10.580
smug bastard who thinks that his own IQ is about 40 points higher than it
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
00:43:26.100
He also spends a lot of time making his lame and trite arguments.
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
00:43:43.760
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,
00:43:54.740
which is a problem because there are a lot of credulous rubes among us.
00:43:58.440
So when I heard that John Oliver took on the issue of homeschooling in one of his
00:44:04.920
I expected his rant to be incredibly dumb and misleading because they always are.
00:44:10.840
But then I watched it and I discovered that it's even worse than I assumed.
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.
00:44:26.780
but I'm going to go through the monologue in extensive detail so that you can hear it for
00:44:35.820
Oliver's basic position is that there isn't enough regulation on homeschooling parents.
00:44:40.780
He insists that a large number of us are abusive and negligent and stupid,
00:44:43.900
and we need greater oversight to make sure that we are teaching our children in a way that the
00:44:50.100
John Oliver wants to make sure that we're teaching our children in a way that John Oliver
00:44:54.680
But it just so happens that John Oliver's views and priorities are indistinguishable
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.
00:45:22.180
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.
00:45:38.340
it is also a pretty mean way to make other parents look like total s**t.
00:45:43.840
Okay, now this is how Oliver begins the segment.
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
00:46:01.120
Shooting a TikTok video of your kids dancing to an ABC rap
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,
00:46:17.860
That's something to remember as Oliver begins giving examples
00:46:20.060
of what in his mind qualify as laughably awful homeschooling.
00:46:28.180
you may have already noted that Oliver's example
00:46:30.560
of good homeschooling comes from a black family.
00:46:35.320
well, of course, yeah, that's what he would do.
00:46:40.120
he gives three examples of sympathetic homeschool families
00:46:48.500
That is how utterly predictable and contrived all of this is.
00:46:55.060
And you may have heard a stereotype of homeschoolers
00:47:00.400
to what kids learn in public school environments.
00:47:05.300
Take this man who offers this pretty shaky rationalization
00:47:16.160
that my third grade daughter should not be in a classroom
00:47:20.540
where a teacher or someone else is teaching her about that.
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.
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
00:48:03.700
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,
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.
00:48:23.820
Here's what sex ed classes are really teaching.
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.
00:48:53.700
All the schools want to do is talk to your 11-year-old about masturbation.
00:48:57.640
He doesn't want to say that, so he doesn't say it,
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.
00:49:22.940
And that's a book that discusses and shows images of oral sex,
00:49:28.880
And you don't have to take it from me that Genderqueer
00:49:32.980
Take it from the leftists who have conniption fits
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,
00:49:53.540
that any schools are teaching those kinds of subjects to kids that young.
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.
00:50:08.980
Instead, you just clap along and laugh at his crappy jokes
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.
00:50:31.320
So, given that, tonight, let's take a look at homeschooling.
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,
00:50:49.560
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
00:51:02.580
And in the remaining 11, they don't have to notify anyone at all.
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
00:51:19.080
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.
00:51:29.560
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
00:51:41.380
are providing inadequate educations to their children.
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.
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.
00:52:11.860
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.
00:52:27.900
I mean, don't cut into the carcasses of dead animals in your kitchen.
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,
00:52:42.700
I didn't realize the kitchen was a place just for slicing olives, you dork.
00:52:47.840
Now, I will say that I certainly won't be accepting
00:52:54.660
And third, because he evidently doesn't realize that you can use soap
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
00:53:11.220
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.
00:53:31.920
If he needed more evidence that this guy is a clown
00:53:34.260
who shouldn't be taken even remotely seriously, well, there you go.
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
00:53:59.280
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.
00:54:19.960
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.
00:54:41.960
He's not even smart or introspective enough to realize that his views on that, on those
00:54:49.020
So when his subjective views are taught as fact in public school, and they are, he sees
00:54:57.520
Indeed, anyone who does object is obviously a Nazi.
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.
00:55:22.580
And by homeschooling, we're going to get that done.
00:55:29.160
Now, you should know that Oliver actually lingers on these Nazi homeschoolers for multiple minutes.
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
00:55:53.200
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
00:56:07.760
Now, Oliver may be a pedestrian midwit, but he certainly at least realizes that the number
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
00:56:28.180
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.
00:56:43.740
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
00:57:00.320
So they rely heavily on the premise that a child is going to be in school and seen by
00:57:10.820
You wouldn't want a guy who's building rocket ships, going into space, teaching your kids,
00:57:16.980
Obviously, a third grade science teacher is better equipped than Elon Musk to teach science.
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
00:57:33.140
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.
00:57:45.900
Now, it's true, of course, that some parents are scumbags who abuse their kids.
00:57:50.680
It would follow that a certain portion of those scumbags, a small minority, are probably
00:57:55.640
But it does not follow that all parents who homeschool should therefore be treated as
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
00:58:14.140
But it doesn't follow that all families who insist on privacy in their homes should be
00:58:21.000
Nor does it mean that locking your front door is a red flag indicating that you're likely
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.
00:58:51.320
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.
00:59:07.700
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.
00:59:24.580
He talks about the failures and pitfalls of homeschooling, but never acknowledges any of
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
00:59:41.920
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.
00:59:54.800
It's well known that a significant preponderance of American adults are shockingly ignorant
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
01:00:11.960
Look at the poll released this summer finding that 40% of Americans don't even know why we
01:00:18.720
And we could go on and on with examples like this.
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
01:00:34.680
Oliver doesn't grapple with that, doesn't even so much as acknowledge it.
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
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
01:01:11.440
Homeschool parents are Nazi child abusers, and public school teachers are superheroes.
01:01:16.080
Never mind that they're churning out millions of kids who can't read or perform basic arithmetic
01:01:26.060
John Oliver has once again demonstrated that he has the intellectual depth of a piss-tainted
01:01:31.320
And we haven't even gotten to the worst argument he makes against homeschooling,
01:01:37.160
In a perfect world, we'd make sure that homeschooled kids were both safe and actually receiving
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
01:02:04.680
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
01:02:15.280
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,
01:02:41.000
Because he is a self-satisfied, pompous, dishonest, mush-brained prick.
01:02:46.380
A man who, we can tell, was certainly not homeschooled himself, which is maybe the best argument for
01:02:54.300
And it's also why John Oliver is today, once again, canceled.
