Today on the Matt Wall Show, the grand marshal of the Orlando Pride Parade this past weekend
00:00:07.040
LGBT activists, of course, claim that they aren't trying to indoctrinate our kids,
00:00:10.620
but as always, their actions tell a different story.
00:00:13.100
Also, pro-Hamas rallies pop up all around the country.
00:00:15.680
They seem strangely familiar and similar to BLM rallies,
00:00:19.780
and that's because, well, they're exactly the same thing.
00:00:22.100
And Canada moves a step closer to universal basic income.
00:00:25.360
Plus, a white woman is canceled for having the audacity to open a sushi restaurant.
00:00:29.500
We'll talk about all that and more today on the Matt Wall Show.
00:00:31.800
Last month, the G20 announced a plan to impose digital currencies
00:01:01.160
and digital IDs on their respective populations.
00:01:03.980
Central bank digital currencies allow the government to track every purchase you make.
00:01:07.680
They could even give officials the ability to prohibit you from purchasing certain items
00:01:14.300
If you haven't yet, you need to call Birch Gold today and talk to an expert
00:01:17.520
about preserving your savings in a tax-sheltered retirement account.
00:01:21.420
If you have an IRA or 401k from a previous employer that's just gathering dust,
00:01:24.700
well, you can call Birch Gold and they will help you convert it into an IRA in gold.
00:01:30.500
They will simply convert that 401k into physical gold,
00:01:33.440
which, unlike digital currency, can't be tampered with.
00:01:36.480
Text Walsh to 989898 and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:01:40.860
If digital currency becomes a reality, you'll be glad you have something physical to fall back on.
00:01:45.260
Text Walsh to 989898 and claim your free info kit on gold today.
00:01:50.680
There's been a lot of talk lately, and rightfully so, about the many rhetorical excesses of leftism.
00:01:56.720
They keep coming up with new terms and acronyms and so-called neopronouns,
00:02:00.380
as well as new genders and sexual orientations and phobias and so on,
00:02:05.280
And for whatever reason, it's apparent that liberals feel compelled to have their own language
00:02:09.300
that's totally divorced from the rest of the English language.
00:02:12.340
Maybe it's so that they can distinguish themselves from the unenlightened out-group.
00:02:20.500
But in any event, conservatives have called out this phenomenon ad nauseum for quite some time,
00:02:25.860
But what you rarely hear discussed is that amid this great linguistic evolution and revolution, really,
00:02:34.320
that we're all living through, liberals have abandoned as many terms as they've invented.
00:02:39.380
It was just about a decade ago, for example, that female genital mutilation was a major point of concern
00:02:45.580
among the left on college campuses all over the country.
00:02:48.400
Every female genital mutilation in faraway countries like Somalia was considered one of the foremost
00:02:53.400
human rights abuses on the planet, and you'd hear about it all the time.
00:02:56.820
But since the rise of transgenderism, the left has had a change of heart on that whole topic,
00:03:02.500
And now they endorse female genital mutilation.
00:03:05.000
It's one of the great switcheroos, one of the great sleight-of-hand tricks in politics
00:03:10.400
As the Post Millennial reported back in 2020, leftists were furious about a bill in Wyoming
00:03:14.260
that promised to ban female genital mutilation in the state.
00:03:18.180
And they went from protesting against it to protesting in favor of it in the span of really just a couple of years.
00:03:25.220
So we've seen this kind of about-face in several areas, many areas, really.
00:03:30.100
It wasn't so long ago that corporate media outlets and left-wing activists claimed they were very concerned
00:03:34.700
about a mental health disorder called Munchausen by proxy that we've talked about before on the show.
00:03:39.760
This disorder typically involves parents, almost always the mother, who pretend that their children
00:03:44.040
are suffering from some kind of medical ailment.
00:03:46.640
Usually the mother invents a medical condition so that they, which is the mother, I mean, can get attention.
00:03:52.460
In 2014, less than a decade ago, CBS News had this to say about the disorder.
00:03:56.600
Quote, Dr. Mark Feldman, a psychiatrist and forensic consultant, said he believes the internet has contributed
00:04:02.120
to the number of Munchausen by proxy cases that are instantly accessible and endlessly supportive
00:04:06.600
groups out there that will pray with you and cry with you if you purport your child to be ill,
00:04:13.300
Well, less than a decade later, those accessible and endlessly supportive groups have all the power.
00:04:18.640
They won't simply affirm your delusions about your child.
00:04:21.700
They'll organize a mob to destroy the life of anyone who challenges those delusions.
00:04:26.520
And corporate media outlets have no problem with it whatsoever.
00:04:32.200
Consider the case of Dempsey Jarrah, who's been in the news lately.
00:04:36.800
A couple of months ago, Dempsey Jarrah's parents explained why their boy was actually a girl.
00:04:43.600
Kind of a long clip, but it's important that you watch the whole thing and you see the reasoning that's given.
00:04:50.120
It's a very familiar reasoning you've heard many times before on this show, but here it is.
00:04:57.640
She loves pink and stuffed animals and was born as a biological boy.
00:05:06.620
You know, she started putting pajama pants on her head and making pretend that was hair.
00:05:14.540
I was really sad before I transitioned and, like, I knew something was, like, different about me.
00:05:19.780
So when my parents, like, finally decided to, like, take me to, like, a toy store,
00:05:24.460
I'd always just go to the girl aisle and I'd just always feel so much more happy seeing the pink and all those beautiful colors.
00:05:33.880
And, like, I knew I was different and I knew, like, in my brain, in my heart, I'm a girl.
00:05:42.760
But then we started seeing she was being very persistent with that, you know, and only wanted to play with girl toys.
00:05:50.540
And so, you know, eventually we started seeing just kind of a pattern.
00:05:56.880
And even it got then to a point where when we used to take her to get a haircut, it was, you know, now that we need to act at it.
00:06:13.500
You don't usually hear them mention that as a reason why the boy's actually a girl.
00:06:19.340
Is that a, is that a, I mean, I have two girls.
00:06:23.440
I'm not sure I've noticed that to be a propensity among girls.
00:06:28.660
And as a toddler, he didn't like getting a haircut, much like literally every toddler who has ever lived on the planet.
00:06:36.800
The child decides, we're told, at the age of five years old, that the doctors had, quote, made a mistake.
00:06:42.040
And his five-year-old boy has overruled the medical doctors.
00:06:44.980
He's come to the conclusion, independently, without any input from his parents whatsoever, that he's really a girl.
00:06:51.800
And his parents, it goes without saying, affirmed that delusion and leftist media outlets cheer.
00:06:57.440
Now, this makes no sense whatsoever, of course.
00:06:59.500
But just thinking through some of the implications, you know, imagine being a feminist with any integrity whatsoever, which is a hard thing to conceive of.
00:07:06.560
And then you listen to that news report, which reduces womanhood to liking the color pink and hating the fact that at the ripe old age of five years old, you need to go to the barber.
00:07:24.940
Has any modern political movement ever been so humiliated so thoroughly?
00:07:28.340
It's hard to think of anything that comes close.
00:07:29.740
Of course, anyone who's ever had a child, as well as anyone with a rudimentary understanding of human psychology, understands exactly what's going on here.
00:07:36.540
This five-year-old didn't decide to transition on his own.
00:07:39.280
He learned that concept from his parents, who planted this delusion in his head and then encouraged him to pursue it.
00:07:44.980
And the media is on board because this serves their political purposes.
00:07:49.520
Now, the parents of this child have made that very clear.
00:07:52.240
I want you to watch as they explain that they're planning to flee the country if Ron DeSantis becomes president.
00:08:00.700
Ron DeSantis might become the next president of the United States.
00:08:23.760
If that happens, we're going to have to leave the country.
00:08:26.740
And I've never lived anywhere outside the United States.
00:08:37.380
Well, I mean, just looking at what he's done just in Florida.
00:08:53.980
It's like, it might not be affecting you yet, but they will come for you next.
00:09:01.480
And that is the best campaign ad for Ron DeSantis that you could possibly imagine.
00:09:06.120
The mother says that they've updated their passports, whatever that means.
00:09:10.660
Presumably it means that she has a current passport, which we're supposed to think is
00:09:15.400
And then she says, quote, we're going to have to leave the country.
00:09:18.480
Ron DeSantis is going after black people, she insists.
00:09:21.460
This is meant to be taken seriously, like when Cher said that she'd leave the U.S.
00:09:25.780
These are threats that tragically are rarely followed through.
00:09:32.580
And in a sane society, no one would put up with it.
00:09:37.020
He's being force-fed propaganda about both gender and politics so that his parents can
00:09:44.760
They're threatening to move their child out of the country based on these complete fabrications.
00:09:49.820
But of course, we don't live in a sane society.
00:09:51.840
So instead, this child's delusions, really the parents' delusions, are being celebrated.
00:09:58.340
And that finally brings us to this past Saturday when this 11-year-old, using the name
00:10:02.380
Dempsey Jara, served as the Grand Marshal of the Orlando Pride Parade.
00:10:07.600
As the Daily Mail reported, using this 11-year-old's fake pronouns, quote, Dempsey Jara became the
00:10:12.460
youngest Grand Marshal in the event's history as she paraded in an open-top car through the
00:10:16.440
streets of Florida, of the Florida City, at one of the world's biggest pride events.
00:10:20.980
Wearing pink heart-shaped sunglasses and a floral gown, she blew kisses to the crowd while
00:10:25.780
clutching a puppy wrapped in blue as her parents beamed in the backseat.
00:10:31.560
Quote, she's just always gravitated toward girl things, girl toys.
00:10:34.780
School teacher mom, Jamie Jara, told the Orlando Sentinel, she'd say, I'm a girl in my heart
00:10:40.340
She's been on this journey since she was five, and she's living her best life.
00:10:43.820
So they took this young boy and dressed him up as a girl, paraded him as a mascot at a
00:10:52.700
sexualized festival for adults, and of course, for the most part, the media cheered the whole
00:10:57.140
thing on, and the left cheered it on, even as we're told that there's no agenda at all
00:11:04.620
to indoctrinate kids while they take a kid and literally make him into the mascot of the
00:11:09.980
Here's what's interesting about all this, aside from the sheer depravity of it.
00:11:15.080
If you go and read that Daily Mail article or look at Dempsey Jara's various social media
00:11:19.860
feeds, you'll find that the mother is prominent and the father is mostly absent.
00:11:26.060
For example, he wasn't on stage a few months ago when GLAAD awarded this young child some
00:11:32.420
Instead, only the mother was there, and she spoke at length mostly about herself.
00:11:45.580
Early this year, my family and I were featured on the season finale episodes of We're Here.
00:11:55.020
I am so grateful to the show's creator, Stephen and Johnny, and the producers for sharing our
00:12:03.500
Their dedications to elevating LGBTQ stories is so crucial right now.
00:12:11.000
One of the most empowering moments of my life was taking the stage in drag to perform with
00:12:16.980
my daughter and hearing the thunderous applause in honor of her.
00:12:31.120
The best part is hearing the thunderous applause, she says.
00:12:35.800
And truer words have never been spoken, at least not from this woman, we can be quite sure.
00:12:42.420
Of course, as the mother drones on and on, the 11-year-old boy doesn't say a word.
00:12:55.100
Her son dressing up like a girl and being applauded empowers her, the mother, she says,
00:13:02.620
as she accepts this award as like some kind of Oscar-winning actress.
00:13:08.700
And the big applause line, of course, is that her son is transgender.
00:13:11.780
The speech goes on for several minutes after that.
00:13:13.820
It devolves into DeSantis bashing and all the rest of it.
00:13:17.260
She claims that her son is somehow in danger because of Ron DeSantis, etc.
00:13:21.480
But the politics of this situation are nowhere near as interesting as the psychology of it all.
00:13:26.620
A few years ago, in October 2017, the scientific journal Child Abuse and Neglect published an article entitled,
00:13:33.400
The Perpetrators of Medical Child Abuse, Munchausen Syndrome by Proxy, a Systematic Review of 796 Cases.
00:13:39.340
And according to the researchers who wrote the article, quote,
00:13:42.320
Nearly all of the abusers were female, 97.6%, 97.6%.
00:13:47.560
And about the same percentage were the victims' own mothers, 95.6%.
00:13:51.660
Now, this used to be an issue that, again, people talked about, the left talked about.
00:13:56.960
But the fact remains that Munchausen by Proxy is one of the most serious mental disorders on the planet
00:14:01.060
because it affects young children who can't protect themselves.
00:14:04.260
The impact of this disorder is often very uncomfortable to talk about.
00:14:08.680
So, most media outlets have decided to avoid the topic entirely,
00:14:12.020
especially because they don't want you to make this connection.
00:14:15.200
They don't want you to realize that Munchausen by Proxy is probably,
00:14:18.440
probably more prevalent today than it's ever been.
00:14:21.480
It's just that now it's taken on the form of this.
00:14:23.960
It's taken on the form of what you just saw in that clip there.
00:14:27.320
Now, here's one case that hasn't gotten much attention.
00:14:29.540
The Daily Wire just reported on the case of a woman who was abused by her mother,
00:14:38.900
who forced her daughter to endure numerous medical treatments
00:14:44.080
a mental disorder that causes a caregiver to fabricate or exaggerate medical conditions in another person.
00:14:49.740
Dee Dee began making claims about her daughter's health when Gypsy was about three months old.
00:14:53.520
At the time, Dee Dee was convinced Gypsy suffered from sleep apnea
00:14:58.520
Rod said doctors couldn't find anything wrong with her daughter despite numerous tests and a sleep monitor.
00:15:07.420
coming up with new problems including a chromosomal defect and muscular dystrophy.
00:15:12.340
After a minor motorcycle accident that resulted in an abrasion to Gypsy's knee,
00:15:16.980
Dee Dee began claiming that doctors gave her daughter a wheelchair.
00:15:20.640
From then on, Gypsy was largely confined to the chair if she appeared in public.
00:15:24.800
Dee Dee would also bring an oxygen tank and feeding tube to complete the illusion
00:15:31.320
Now, there are other horrifying details, including how Dee Dee administered treatments
00:15:36.900
decay to the point that most of her front teeth were extracted and replaced by a bridge.
00:15:41.840
And as recently as 10 years ago, in the eyes of media outlets and even left-wing activists,
00:15:46.420
Dee Dee would be in the same exact category as Jamie Jara,
00:15:49.880
the mother of the 11-year-old boy who's being paraded around Florida right now.
00:15:53.340
Both of them would be regarded as abusers who use their children to satisfy their own deep-seated mental compulsions.
00:16:01.920
You know, in the past, Munchausen by proxie meant that you put your kid in a wheelchair that they don't need,
00:16:08.380
And in both cases, you are administering medication that the child certainly doesn't need,
00:16:17.480
But of course, in the past few years, the left has come to embrace Munchausen parents in many contexts
00:16:22.060
because they've discovered that they can use them and their children as a weapon against politicians they don't like.
00:16:27.600
It's just they don't call it Munchausen anymore.
00:16:29.760
They can turn the pain and confusion of children as young as five years old into a political weapon.
00:16:35.540
And without any hesitation whatsoever, that's exactly what they're doing.
00:16:39.380
They have no concern for what happens to these children, neither do their parents.
00:16:48.260
And until that changes, many more young children, kids who aren't even teenagers in many cases,
00:16:55.540
And by the time they realize what their parents have done to them,
00:17:04.360
And no one, especially not the adoring crowds in Orlando or in GLAAD,
00:17:19.220

00:18:27.240
Radio Talk Show host Charlie Kirk, who founded the American conservative organization Turning Point USA,
00:18:31.940
said one of the group's staffers was attacked by pro-Hamas supporters in Skokie, Illinois, over the weekend.
00:18:37.360
Around 5 p.m. on Sunday, a pro-Israel event was being held when roughly 200 pro-Palestine protesters showed up for a counter rally.
00:18:48.700
The events descended into chaos with reports of a gunshot and a Chicago police officer and two civilians needing treatment for minor injuries after someone discharged pepper spray.
00:18:58.100
Kirk said his TPUSA staffers were caught in the violence.
00:19:01.560
Kirk said in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that two TPSUSA staffers were helping escort an elderly Jewish couple from the pro-Israel rally
00:19:09.840
when they were violently attacked by pro-Hamas supporters.
00:19:13.800
And there's a video of what that attack looked like.
00:19:30.960
The person is on the ground and being pummeled.
00:19:35.780
You know, a lot of these things, a lot of these protests and these demonstrations,
00:19:39.540
these pro-Hamas demonstrations across the country look very familiar.
00:19:43.620
They look like things we've seen over the last few years.
00:19:45.940
Because, in fact, it's basically the exact same.
00:19:51.360
It is, if it looks familiar, it looks similar to what we saw at BLM rallies, it's because that's what this is.
00:19:58.900
And I'll probably spend more time on this tomorrow, but one thing that should be understood,
00:20:03.080
and yet somehow is being missed by a certain portion of the right right now,
00:20:08.780
is that the pro-Palestine movement, the free Palestine movement, whatever slogan they use,
00:20:16.160
that in the United States right now is just BLM reincarnate.
00:20:22.300
It's the same thing, the same people, the same basic message.
00:20:37.280
Again, literally the exact same people are involved.
00:20:47.340
Look at any of the prominent politicians, the prominent people,
00:20:50.860
who are supporting all these rallies and are going out chanting free Palestine.
00:20:55.360
These are the same people who, for years, have been chanting BLM.
00:21:07.360
It was prophesied by many people who said that BLM is going to be back out on the streets
00:21:21.700
We just, what we didn't know is what the exact pretense would be.
00:21:28.320
I mean, a perceptive person would have been able to see the riots of 2020 coming.
00:21:35.620
Maybe not to that extent, but they knew something like that would probably happen.
00:21:38.640
Now, they didn't know that it'd be about George Floyd.
00:21:41.440
But they knew there'd be some sort of pretense.
00:21:43.300
And then these same people would be out in the street again.
00:21:48.620
And I think perhaps this is confusing for some people in this country.
00:21:52.840
Because obviously, the pro-Palestine forces here in this country are very different from
00:22:03.140
I mean, Hamas is obviously not a left-wing organization.
00:22:06.660
And as conservatives are always pointing out, you take any of these people that are showing
00:22:13.760
up at these Hamas demonstrations in the United States, or you take many of them, and you bring
00:22:18.340
them over to the Middle East, and they are not going to be welcomed.
00:22:23.660
Their reception is not going to be a very happy one for them.
00:22:28.320
Now, does that mean that Hamas as an organization is right-wing?
00:22:34.180
It's just, neither of those, it's just not the right way of looking at it.
00:22:38.820
Because it exists outside of the American ideological paradigm.
00:22:43.480
In this country, when we say right-wing and left-wing, we mean certain things.
00:22:47.780
But it doesn't always apply outside of this country.
00:22:54.840
And here in America, this conflict is filtered through American politics and American ideologies
00:23:00.580
and interests, which means that the pro-Hamas side in this country is left-wing, radical
00:23:09.980
left-wing, anti-white, anti-Western, anti-American, and so on.
00:23:15.960
The reason for this difference is easy enough to see.
00:23:18.520
The left is simply using the conflict overseas for its own purposes.
00:23:21.800
And largely, those purposes have little to do with Hamas's purposes.
00:23:47.820
I just saw a headline about how, I think it was Coca-Cola, has finally deleted all mentions
00:23:54.720
And that seems like a small thing, but it's really not.
00:23:58.120
It's emblematic of a cultural victory over BLM itself.
00:24:04.300
Now, it took a while, it took too long, but now the BLM brand is just, it's toxic.
00:24:13.200
But does that mean that, and the organization itself is bankrupt and the people that used
00:24:18.020
to run the organization are all off, you know, doing new things and new grifts and everything,
00:24:22.480
and they're disgraced and they're not going to be back on the public scene again.
00:24:26.200
Um, but does that mean that the people and the interests that invested themselves in BLM
00:24:33.540
are also going to just go away, slink off into the night, never to be seen again?
00:24:44.240
Uh, they've been searching for a new banner, a new Trojan horse to crowd into, and they found
00:24:51.260
And that's all this is, in this country at least.
00:24:53.940
This is probably a point that needs more elaboration than I'm giving it here, but it's an important
00:24:59.260
point that should be made as often as possible.
00:25:02.740
And it's something that, again, some, it's quite evident that some people on the right
00:25:14.420
And when they turn on the TV and they see, uh, the, the clips of the protests and the marches,
00:25:20.860
the free Palestine marches, they don't understand that what you're looking at, that's BLM.
00:25:26.640
Like that's all the same people with the same, uh, intentions.
00:25:35.000
That's why we hear about decolonization and all the rest of it.
00:25:41.120
Should be, should be obvious, but I think it's, it isn't to a lot of people.
00:25:43.800
And just to emphasize the point, uh, here, this is, uh, we'll go to, to, uh, Karen Jean
00:25:49.100
Pair, uh, in the White House, asked yesterday about the rise of antisemitism.
00:26:00.360
Level of concern right now about the potential rise of antisemitism in light of everything
00:26:07.460
So a couple of things, um, look, um, uh, we have not seen, uh, any credible, uh, threats.
00:26:14.780
I know there's been always questions about, uh, credible threats.
00:26:17.520
Uh, and so, uh, just want to make sure that that's out there, but look, uh, Muslim and those
00:26:22.480
perceived, uh, to be Muslim have endured a disproportionate, uh, number of hate fueled
00:26:28.240
And certainly president Biden understands that many of our Muslim Arab Arab Arab Americans and
00:26:33.700
Palestinian American loved ones and neighbors are worried about the hate being directed
00:26:38.880
And that is something you heard the president speak to in his, uh, in his address, uh, just
00:26:45.140
And so, uh, one of the things that the president has done is directed his team, uh, homeland security
00:26:50.360
team to prioritize prevention and disruption of any emerging threats that could harm the Jewish,
00:26:55.940
the Muslim Arab Americans or, or any other communities.
00:26:59.000
And that is something that the president has sought to do.
00:27:02.120
And, and since day one, as you know, the president ran on, on, um, on, you know, bringing
00:27:08.040
community, protecting communities, obviously, but bringing people together, the soul, uh, protecting
00:27:14.300
Uh, and so, um, that is something that the president takes very, very seriously.
00:27:19.000
Uh, and, um, you know, we're going to continue to denounce any sort of hate, uh, towards any American
00:27:25.180
Uh, and so that's what we're going to continue to be steadfast on.
00:27:28.020
And again, he has, he has, uh, uh, advised, directed his homeland security, uh, team to
00:27:35.620
So asked about, uh, antisemitism and immediately goes to Islamophobia and claims that, uh, there's
00:27:42.140
that word disproportionate, disproportionate impact.
00:27:44.920
Um, we're told that they're, that hatred is disproportionately impacting Muslim Americans.
00:27:55.460
There's, there's been a greater rise in so-called Islamophobia.
00:28:04.200
And, you know, in almost any other context, if somebody like Karen Jean-Pierre was asked
00:28:09.820
about antisemitism and the rise of antisemitism, she, she would go into a whole speech about
00:28:14.920
the, how it's a terrible thing and antisemitism is terrible.
00:28:17.980
Um, she'd be more than willing to talk about that.
00:28:21.200
Uh, it'd be kind of a, it's, uh, in, in any other context, right?
00:28:28.540
But in this context, um, as a concern, antisemitism loses out in favor of the concern over quote unquote
00:28:38.560
Islamophobia, when you're, when you're sort of pitting the two against each other, which
00:28:43.820
is what on the left, which is what they instinctively do.
00:28:46.300
They're always pitting, uh, various victim claims against each other.
00:28:51.940
And on the left, uh, the concern about quote unquote Islamophobia is that's all that is
00:28:57.460
always going to be a greater concern that is always going to come before antisemitism.
00:29:07.020
It's because from the, in, in, in the, in the, from the leftist mindset, the way they
00:29:12.400
look at it, this is the only thing they care about.
00:29:14.700
They say that by and large, uh, Muslims are, are less white than Jewish people.
00:29:27.840
And they're looking at any conflict anywhere in the world.
00:29:31.600
Now what they're asking themselves is what, which group is less white?
00:29:44.200
Um, um, and that is how, that is how in this country, that is, that's, that's the filter
00:29:53.400
that, um, uh, the powers that be are, you know, viewing all of this through.
00:30:03.140
Canada is taking a step toward making universal basic income a reality.
00:30:07.660
The Senate's national finance committee will study a bill on October 17th, or already did
00:30:13.020
study it, I suppose, this is about a week ago, which, uh, would create a national framework
00:30:16.880
for, but not actually implement UBI, according to a press release from the office of, uh, Ontario
00:30:24.440
An identical bill exists in the House of Commons and is sponsored by a member of parliament named
00:30:29.580
The bill in the Senate, which received a first and second reading in 2021 and last April,
00:30:33.660
respectively, would require provincial ministers and indigenous governing bodies across the
00:30:38.140
country to convene and determine how a UBI plan could work.
00:30:41.400
So they're moving closer to, uh, UBI, universal basic income.
00:30:46.220
Here's the sponsor of the bill, uh, talking about it.
00:30:49.840
It is my privilege, honor, and responsibility to be the sponsor of Bill S-233, which we've just,
00:30:56.600
uh, commenced study, uh, in the Senate's standing committee on finance.
00:31:01.560
The, um, the bill would introduce, uh, a framework to develop a guaranteed livable basic income.
00:31:07.480
Right now is the fact that we are struggling throughout this country with homelessness,
00:31:11.900
food insecurity, poverty, health, mental health issues.
00:31:15.040
And this is one way that we could start to look at these issues.
00:31:18.760
It's not the only way, but it's certainly a key way.
00:31:22.580
So as this, uh, works through the bureaucracy, of course, there, it's not just going to pass it.
00:31:27.420
They have to first get together and agree to have a hearing.
00:31:30.920
And then in the hearing, they agree to form a proposal.
00:31:33.700
And then the proposal, there's another hearing.
00:31:35.760
And then there's, so there it's working through the bureaucracy.
00:31:38.240
Uh, I think ultimately it'll pass and there will be a, you know, so-called universal basic
00:31:43.340
income, um, which is just a, it's just a more extensive welfare plan.
00:31:51.460
And, and of course there are many people that are pushing for a similar thing in the United
00:31:55.580
States, many, many individual States that have been looking at plans like this.
00:32:01.100
And it's, it feels inevitable in this country as well.
00:32:03.820
Um, as we know, Canada is, uh, there, uh, a couple of train cars ahead of us on the crazy
00:32:10.980
We're on the same track or even on the same train.
00:32:13.100
There are just a few train cars up, but we're all linked.
00:32:15.080
And, uh, and so if once we see them, uh, go over the cliff, we know that we're not far
00:32:22.800
Um, and so it's worth pointing out that universal basic, basic income is a horrible idea.
00:32:29.440
Uh, or at least maybe I should, there's a caveat there.
00:32:37.760
If you care about having a flourishing and healthy society, if you care about that, if
00:32:42.840
that is your objective, then this would be the worst way to try to attain that objective.
00:32:47.880
On the other hand, if you want society to decay and collapse under its own weight, then it's
00:32:53.900
I mean, it's a, it's a great way to help bring that about.
00:32:57.600
And we know that the advocates of UBI, that's exactly what they want.
00:33:04.620
At least the people on top who are pushing it, right?
00:33:07.280
The people at the top is at the, at the top levels at the highest levels that are pushing
00:33:12.140
Now the advocates, just like the, the people in the peanut gallery who are saying, yeah,
00:33:19.560
They just want free money and they don't, it's not that they, most of them, uh, directly,
00:33:26.140
explicitly want society to fall apart, but they don't really care if it does or not.
00:33:32.920
The problem with this plan, well, the problems should be pretty obvious.
00:33:38.480
And I think the biggest issue is that of course, as it is designed, it makes it a lot easier
00:33:47.280
for people to not work and it encourages people to not work and then, and thus puts a greater
00:33:53.060
burden on those who are willing to work while increasing the rewards for not working.
00:33:57.400
So we're taking, we're taking the kind of behavior that again, if you want a thriving
00:34:02.500
and successful society, the kind of behavior that you want, which is people that are work
00:34:06.800
and work and that they're productive and you are punishing that while you are rewarding
00:34:16.280
Incentivizing unproductive behavior and punishing productive behavior, which again is simply the
00:34:21.420
opposite of what you would do if you actually want your society to thrive, which these people
00:34:34.600
I'm not sure if, if they've settled on an exact number in Canada, but I saw, I think
00:34:40.180
I saw 17,000 bucks being tossed around and it's usually around that, you know, something
00:34:46.720
Most of the people that are advocating for UBI, they say 17,000, 20,000, 25,000, 30,000.
00:34:55.280
What will it, and I mean, let's just say it ends up at, I don't know, let's say it ends
00:34:58.400
up at 20,000, but you know, there's another way to earn an income of $20,000 and that is
00:35:09.960
And, uh, and, and here's the thing, you can work almost anywhere full time and you'll make
00:35:22.620
So when, when we hear that, you know, everyone should have a basic income, everyone should
00:35:26.540
be earning, every household should at least have a basic income.
00:35:29.580
Every household should, should at least have an income of $20,000.
00:35:39.240
I, that, that is, you know, to call that a, that's, that's below what I would even consider
00:35:44.880
Like you, we, you shouldn't even say, you certainly shouldn't settle for that.
00:35:47.720
But, but the good news is it's, it's very easy to attain that very easy.
00:35:56.180
I was making around that when I was like 16 years old and not because I was some brilliant,
00:36:06.100
It's just, that is not a difficult income level to achieve.
00:36:10.480
All you have to do is, I mean, literally just, if you're willing to work, you'll make at
00:36:17.240
And when I say willing to work, like you get a job, I mean, really almost any job, you work
00:36:21.720
full time, you come to work every, you know, on time, every time that you're on the schedule,
00:36:27.380
maybe you pick up a few extra hours here and there.
00:36:39.020
You do the bare minimum and you'll make that kind of income.
00:36:42.760
And, and pretty soon you'll make more than that.
00:36:44.060
It's actually because it's, it's increasingly easy to separate yourself from the pack.
00:36:49.480
As the bar for the pack gets lower and lower, the easier it is for you to get over it.
00:36:55.220
So really you have kind of, it's almost like both sides of this issue sort of agree on the
00:37:01.520
basic premise that, you know, every household should be making this basic income, 17,000,
00:37:13.380
The question is, should you attain that income by actually going out and working and contributing
00:37:21.280
Uh, or should you be able to sit at home and, and sit at home and enlist other people against
00:37:37.120
And I think the answer to that question is pretty obvious.
00:37:39.540
All right, before we get to, uh, was Walsh wrong?
00:37:42.160
Yeah, one other thing I wanted to make, we're just talking about, uh, you know, Islamophobia,
00:37:49.720
Far left climate extremist Greta Thunberg faced backlash on social media for posting
00:37:54.720
imagery that was widely condemned as anti-Semitic and encouraging people to back organizations
00:37:59.480
that support the extermination of Israel while posing in a photo with pro-Palestinian activists.
00:38:07.440
Today, we strike in solidarity with Palestine and Gaza.
00:38:11.220
The world needs to speak up and call for an immediate ceasefire, justice, and freedom
00:38:18.160
Uh, Thunberg's message echoed statements made by Islamic terrorist group Hamas when they
00:38:22.720
launched unprecedented terror attacks against Israel, murdering more than 1,400 Israelis.
00:38:26.940
People in the photo held signs that said, free Palestine, climate justice now, stand with
00:38:35.540
Free Palestine, climate justice now, this Jew stands with Palestine, stand with Gaza.
00:38:44.240
In fact, just keep the picture up on the screen.
00:38:46.340
Um, because that led to, uh, a big backlash from, from many people, including people on
00:38:52.860
the right, who said that this was, uh, anti-Semitic.
00:38:57.980
Journalist Ian Miles Chong noted that a light blue stuffed octopus, that is in the photo, was
00:39:03.400
a reference to anti-Semitic imagery that has long been used to demonize the Jewish people
00:39:09.860
Thunberg claimed in a follow-up post that she had no idea the stuffed animal in the photo,
00:39:14.000
when combined with expressing support for the group of people who had just committed
00:39:17.260
terrorist attacks against Israel, could be interpreted as a symbol for anti-Semitism.
00:39:20.280
I was completely unaware, she claimed, adding that the stuffed animal was used by autistic
00:39:30.200
First of all, only demonstrates, again, just proves the point I was making at the top of
00:39:34.580
the headlines, that this is, uh, in this, in, in the West, anyway, uh, Greta Thunberg's
00:39:42.740
But in the West, anyway, uh, they look at this issue through a radical left-wing filter.
00:39:48.460
And, I mean, you could, probably this exact photo, if we were to go back in 2020, we'd
00:39:53.640
see almost this exact photo with Greta Thunberg, and instead of Free Palestine, it's BLM, and
00:40:02.900
And that's why she also, you know, you throw in something like climate justice, and you
00:40:09.140
Now, what in the world does climate, what does climate justice mean, first of all?
00:40:16.140
What does the climate have to do with what's happening in Israel right now?
00:40:20.100
Well, it's all just, it's all part of the same jumble, is all.
00:40:24.180
So, I want to show this picture because it proves that point.
00:40:28.480
And also, I will say, look, far be it from me, uh, to ever defend Greta Thunberg.
00:40:44.440
Like, I don't think, you know, this is, and I, I know there's people on the right and conservatives
00:40:47.660
that were jumping on this and saying that, uh, that this is anti-Semitic because of the
00:40:54.580
Now, if you want to, if you want to point out that, well, you're, you got that Free Palestine,
00:40:58.200
uh, you know, you, the message of Free Palestine, we're standing with, uh, Palestine after, uh,
00:41:05.380
all those Israeli civilians were just murdered.
00:41:08.800
And you want to point out how, how horrific and awful that is, agreed.
00:41:12.200
But when it comes to the octopus specifically, uh, this is something, even though there's
00:41:19.140
some conservatives that are jumping on this bandwagon and say, oh, the octopus, it's anti-Semitic
00:41:23.300
This is something you find on the left a lot where they, you know, someone takes a picture
00:41:26.980
and they're doing, and there's something really seemingly innocuous in the picture.
00:41:30.280
And then the left says, oh, that's, that's bigoted, that's racist, uh, because that, you
00:41:36.380
know, image or that thing you're doing with your hand, you know, that, that, that hand
00:41:40.820
gesture is linked to some, uh, white supremacist trope.
00:41:46.520
And most of the time you, you hear them making this connection.
00:41:49.540
Sometimes they're just inventing the connection, but even if it's true, it's like, who knew that?
00:41:58.040
So, so the, so the octopus imagery is linked to anti-Semitic imagery in the past.
00:42:04.940
I would, I would venture to guess that 99% of people, if you ask them whether the octopus
00:42:11.900
is linked to anti-Semitic imagery, I think 99% of people would say, what octopus, what
00:42:17.620
I'm still a little bit confused about what the, what the association is there.
00:42:23.560
I think we can agree or she'll be able to agree.
00:42:26.700
Um, is that what Greta Thunberg was trying to convey or is it her, is her excuse the more
00:42:36.140
plausible scenario, which is that it helps her communicate feelings.
00:42:39.860
That actually, that sounds like something Greta Thunberg would do, that she would, she
00:42:44.780
would have her, her emotional support stuffed animal with her to help her, to help her in
00:42:55.580
I'm, I'm more than willing to believe that for her.
00:43:01.020
So, uh, and, and, and either way, I mean, even if this was, even if having the octopus
00:43:06.820
stuffed animal there was supposed to be some kind of obscure subliminal, uh, anti-Semitic
00:43:12.900
thing, it's, it just as a strategic standpoint, um, it's best to ignore it because you, you
00:43:19.640
sound overly sensitive and crazy, uh, by harping on that and say, Oh, that stuffed octopus
00:43:29.040
So if it was intentional, then she was, it was bait and she was putting the seemingly
00:43:35.040
innocuous thing there to try to bait the other side into latching onto it and accusing
00:43:40.140
her of being anti-Semitic for something that she could then turn around and say, what are
00:43:44.320
It's just, it's a, it's a stuffed, uh, octopus is all.
00:43:50.840
And then by latching onto it, then you have fallen for the bait.
00:44:02.400
Well, if that's really the case, you need to be giving your dog rough greens.
00:44:05.820
Naturopathic Dr. Dennis Black, the founder of rough greens is focused on improving the
00:44:10.740
Before I started feeding my dog rough greens, I had no idea that dog food is dead food.
00:44:14.920
It turns, it contains very little nutritional value.
00:44:19.700
Let rough greens bring your dog's food back to life.
00:44:22.380
Rough greens is a supplement that contains all the necessary vitamins, minerals, probiotics,
00:44:26.040

Keith says, innocent in reference to Derek Chauvin, maybe stretching it a bit far.
00:45:10.020
There's an important distinction between not guilty of the crime he was accused of and
00:45:19.640
Innocent of the crime you're accused of and not guilty of the crime you're accused of.
00:45:28.640
But, well, I'll read a few more other comments and I'll elaborate on that.
00:45:36.640
An innocent man, he may not be guilty of second degree murder,
00:45:40.020
but I don't know if putting your knee on someone's neck for eight minutes ain't guilty of nothing.
00:45:45.100
I don't know if putting your knee on someone's neck for eight minutes ain't guilty of nothing.
00:45:52.000
There's so many double negatives here that I don't, I'm not sure what you're trying to convey.
00:45:59.520
I don't know if putting your knee on someone's neck for eight minutes ain't guilty of, ain't,
00:46:13.040
In all fairness, Matt, if he ignored him suffering and did nothing, that's a problem.
00:46:16.520
If an EMT ignored your daughter's inability to breathe, you would hold them liable.
00:46:24.500
Bad take, the dude leaned into his knee into the guy's neck with a whole crowd of people telling him the guy isn't breathing anymore.
00:46:33.680
First of all, I call him innocent because he's innocent of the crime of killing George Floyd.
00:46:38.600
George Floyd killed himself by intentionally ingesting lethal levels of a poison.
00:46:42.940
I'm not saying that Derek Chauvin is a saint or is an angel.
00:46:51.940
I mean, I'm talking about, I don't care what else, what other, what, any other facts about Derek Chauvin are irrelevant to us.
00:47:00.460
I mean, he may be the biggest jerk on the planet.
00:47:07.100
I don't know anything about him, but I do know that he didn't kill George Floyd.
00:47:13.840
Second, Chauvin did not have his knee on Floyd's neck.
00:47:23.200
There is simply no evidence at all that he obstructed Floyd's airway or suffocated him or anything like that.
00:47:31.660
Third, it's not as simple as, oh, Chauvin, he ignored poor Floyd's cries of suffering.
00:47:37.820
Because what you guys don't understand is that people, when they're getting arrested, and you would understand if you would listen to cops when they talk about this, who would probably know, who are in a position to know something about this because they've actually arrested people.
00:47:55.820
But I do know that people, when they're getting arrested, they often start screaming that it hurts, that they can't breathe, you're breaking my arm.
00:48:06.800
Not because these people are actually getting their arms broken and they're actually dying, but because people say this kind of crap to avoid getting arrested.
00:48:18.020
You know, that's always what's missing from the controversies over any of these body cam videos or these videos of cops and any of the BLM martyrs.
00:48:30.300
One of the things that's missing is a vision of what the cops are supposed to do, practically speaking, in that situation.
00:49:05.320
Because if you tell me that they should stop restraining any suspect who says he can't breathe,
00:49:09.300
then what you're telling me is that cops should never restrain any suspect ever again.
00:49:13.900
Because half of them already say that, and the other half will start saying it if this is the get-out-of-jail-free card.
00:49:21.160
So, the reason he's on the ground in the first place, actually, in Floyd's case, he's on the ground because he asked to be put on the ground.
00:49:26.900
He was in the police car already, and he'd be alive today if he had just stayed there.
00:49:33.580
But then he wanted out of the police car and said he wanted to be on the ground, okay?
00:49:38.400
But when you've got a guy who's resisting, he's delusional, he's high, you have to restrain him in some way.
00:49:47.260
And if he says, well, it hurts, I can't breathe, and you get off of him, well, now he can flip around, he can start attacking you, he can run away.
00:50:03.920
Because, you know, I'm all about personal responsibility, and I'm a broken record on that and on so many other things.
00:50:11.640
If you get high on fentanyl, and then you commit a crime, another crime, a second crime, well, the end result is on you.
00:50:22.360
You know, like, if you're taking a, it's not a good idea to take a lethal dose of fentanyl.
00:50:26.140
I wouldn't recommend it, you shouldn't do it in the first place.
00:50:28.460
If you are going to do it, to then turn around and commit a crime that's going to end up with you getting arrested, it's just very bad timing.
00:50:35.980
Because now you're going to be getting restrained, you're in the middle of a medical emergency that you started yourself, that you chose to be in.
00:50:42.080
And it's just, it's a really bad, potentially lethal combination for you.
00:50:50.780
But you have created the whole situation, from taking the drugs to committing the crime.
00:51:01.720
And so, whatever happens as a result is your fault.
00:51:06.880
The idea that we should destroy some cops, even if we could agree that he could have navigated it a little bit differently, who gives a s***, honestly?
00:51:18.360
Don't be a freaking moron and take the drug and then go commit a crime.
00:51:25.760
There's like two different, really stupid, dumb things Floyd did.
00:51:31.080
If he hadn't, I'm not even saying don't do, like, he could do one of them.
00:51:36.360
But even if he had just done one of them, instead of both, then he'd still be alive today, most likely.
00:51:42.440
Well, he might have died of the fentanyl anyway.
00:51:43.720
But, no, two really dumb, self-destructive things, and he did both of them.
00:51:50.820
We're like casting about for someone to put in prison because of it.
00:51:55.760
And not to mention we've got to act like this is some great tragedy.
00:52:01.120
And even back at the time, you know, we talked yesterday about conservatives and the response to the George Floyd thing.
00:52:07.000
And there were many conservatives who, at the time, you know, they jumped into the lynch mob going after Derek Chauvin, and they called it murder.
00:52:18.860
But there were others who maybe didn't quite go that far, but they did say, well, clearly this is a tragedy.
00:52:36.120
There's no reason why George Floyd's death ever should have made the country especially sad.
00:52:47.860
In fact, there are every day there are people who die who are much more productive, much better people, who are much more deserving of national mourning than George Floyd, who deserved no national mourning whatsoever.
00:53:04.100
And if you still don't understand that at this point, then you're just hopeless.
00:53:08.200
You've been asking us for an alternative in kids' media, and now it's finally here.

00:53:25.500

For our daily cancellation today, we have a classic reverse cancellation where we cancel the cancelers.
00:54:17.260
Now, if you're chronically online, then you probably already know where this is going.
00:54:20.260
I don't know what that says about you or me or the world.
00:54:23.500
But when I say we're doing a cancellation related to a sushi restaurant, many of you have already filled in many of the details in your head before hearing any of the details.
00:54:31.300
So for those whose souls have not become so jaded, here's what happened.
00:54:37.620
An Australian-born restaurant owner who set up shop in New York City is experiencing a flurry of negative online reviews for being white and owning a sushi restaurant.
00:54:48.300
When Sushi Counter opened its doors, it was committed to serving affordable Australian-style hand-rolled maki and the Big Apple where prices are typically sky high, the publico reported.
00:54:57.320
Recently, however, the restaurant has been subjected to negative reviews by online users who were put off by the fact that the owner, Alex, is white.
00:55:05.760
One vocal chef, Eric Rivera, took to Twitter in a now-deleted thread to shun Sushi Counter for being owned by a colonizer, a white woman, suggesting that she has no place serving the widely popular Japanese favorite, according to the publico.
00:55:18.640
This is not the first time that Rivera has dubbed others tied to the culinary industry as colonizers, according to his Twitter post.
00:55:24.340
Sushi Counter had previously received positive reviews by NYC sushi fans, according to the outlet.
00:55:30.200
The owner reportedly deleted a TikTok page that she made documenting her journey of opening the business.
00:55:34.980
The backlash also came with a flurry of negative Google reviews.
00:55:38.880
Now, to be clear, these are negative Google reviews panning the restaurant based on the race of the owner.
00:55:44.080
And this is the kind of thing that can only possibly go one way in our culture, of course.
00:55:49.660
Quote, there are plenty of good, authentic sushi spots in this city, and prices aren't crazy.
00:55:55.980
This is a colonizer sushi spot ran by a woman who thinks that she can do better than actual Japanese people.
00:56:02.220
Another reviewer wrote, enough of the gentrification.
00:56:04.780
The last thing anyone needs are blonde-haired Australian white women appropriating Japanese cuisine.
00:56:10.220
We're sick of the disrespect inflicted upon our cultures by white people.
00:56:14.640
Now, of course, the backlash against the white-owned sushi restaurant went beyond Google.
00:56:19.700
On Twitter, a woman named Diedre Goldborn, who is a financial advisor and a self-described, quote, cultural historian,
00:56:27.620
and goes by the handle Queer Latifa, posted this.
00:56:31.760
Why is someone who is not of Asian descent, better yet from Australia, opening a sushi spot in NYC?
00:56:37.460
She continues, the contradiction and cognitive dissonance is maddening.
00:56:40.800
She feels she can't afford decent sushi in NYC, a place that has one of the largest and vastly diverse Asian populations.
00:56:49.920
Colonization is white and quite scary to see in real time.
00:56:54.420
Now, that tweet has thousands of likes and supportive comments, by the way.
00:56:58.600
A tweet that describes a sushi restaurant as both maddening and scary.
00:57:03.640
Now, as a sane person myself, I can't fathom how anyone could conjure those kinds of emotions in relation to a sushi restaurant.
00:57:13.820
And I suppose we could assume that the emotions are fake and that it's all performance.
00:57:19.440
But we also can't discount the possibility that some of these people are indeed as unstable and irrational as they present themselves to be.
00:57:25.820
Now, there are a number of obvious points that we could make here, and we'll make them because, you know, stating the obvious is what this show is all about.
00:57:34.020
And the first and most obvious thing is that this deranged standard is only ever applied to white people and would never and has never gone the other way.
00:57:43.020
Like, you'll never hear of a pizza place being bombarded with negative reviews because it's owned by an Asian guy.
00:57:50.060
Or a burger joint being protested because it's run by a, you know, Hispanic woman.
00:57:54.080
You'll certainly never hear anyone telling a black chef what sorts of cuisine he isn't allowed to cook based on his race.
00:58:01.920
Indeed, if we really wanted to play this game equally, then we would say that not only can a white person open a sushi restaurant in the United States,
00:58:09.340
but in fact, arguably, only white people should open sushi restaurants or any other kind of restaurant in the United States.
00:58:14.740
If we apply the racial logic of wokeism consistently across the board, that's where it leads.
00:58:20.400
First, this is a predominantly white, historically white country, and therefore, all of our restaurants should be operated by white people.
00:58:29.180
Except we don't say that because it would be insane, just as it's insane going the other direction.
00:58:35.300
Second, once again, you know, the woke crowd is insulting the people that they're supposedly standing up for.
00:58:40.700
Notice how Queer Latifah says that sushi should be handled by the city's diverse Asian population.
00:58:47.260
Which, first of all, seems to suggest that it's the job of Asian people to provide her with delicious sushi.
00:58:52.720
And which also directly implies that all Asians are the same.
00:59:01.920
But why would someone from, say, Mongolia, which is an Asian country, automatically be better suited to make sushi than someone from Australia?
00:59:14.680
How is this any different from, like, walking into a room of strangers and searching for the most Asian-looking person you can find,
00:59:20.980
and then walking up to them and asking them for a good recommendation to a sushi restaurant?
00:59:26.280
This is stereotyping, and it's lumping people of various ethnicities together just because they live on the same continent.
00:59:33.860
And the left does this kind of thing all the time.
00:59:36.100
Note how they constantly refer to indigenous or Native American culture as if the disparate array of tribes spread out across the hemisphere
00:59:43.540
all shared one culture, or shared anything at all, for that matter.
00:59:48.800
Finally, we have, of course, the inherent madness behind the idea of cultural appropriation.
00:59:55.120
And you would think that the people who love to see everything as fluid and on a spectrum and as a human construct
01:00:01.820
would understand that culture is, by definition, the most fluid human construct of all.
01:00:07.120
Culture is simply the customs, traditions, arts, and institutions of any group of people.
01:00:11.460
And those customs, traditions, arts, and institutions, and their cuisine as well, are always evolving.
01:00:17.540
They're always in constant exchange with other cultures.
01:00:20.120
And especially in this day and age, that process is in hyperdrive, because we're even more connected than we've ever been before.
01:00:28.100
This is why, even if it made sense to accuse one culture of stealing something from another culture, which it doesn't,
01:00:34.440
because theft deprives the victim of the thing being stolen,
01:00:37.880
but nobody is being prevented from eating sushi or making sushi, just because one white woman opened up a sushi shop.
01:00:46.300
But still, you know, we couldn't identify who is actually guilty of stealing from who.
01:00:53.860
Humans have been making culture, in some form or another, for tens of thousands of years.
01:00:58.780
For most trends and fashions and foods, it's not possible to identify a definitive date or place of origin.
01:01:06.740
Even if you could, what influenced the person who came up with it?
01:01:10.260
And what influenced the influences of that person? And so on.
01:01:13.500
In fact, as I was preparing this monologue, I found myself falling down a Wikipedia rabbit hole about the origins of sushi,
01:01:21.420
And it turns out that sushi probably originates from the practice of fermenting fish and storing it in rice.
01:01:32.780
It originates in Southeast Asian cultures thousands of years ago, most likely.
01:01:40.100
But nobody knows for sure the exact place of origin.
01:01:44.300
And if it does originate there, like, how was that practice picked up?
01:01:49.860
And where did the thing that it was based on originate?
01:01:52.920
In fact, where did the practice of eating fish come from originally?
01:01:57.540
Who was the first person who ever thought, like, we should go into this body of water
01:02:02.020
and try to find a creature in there and eat it?
01:02:10.320
How many millennia do we have to go back to find the origins of that?
01:02:13.160
And what part of the world did that person live in?
01:02:19.860
Which means it's impossible to really enforce the cultural appropriation rule to begin with.
01:02:24.120
Even if the rule was worth enforcing, which, of course, it certainly isn't, you wouldn't be able to.
01:02:31.260
Morally atrocious standards that are also totally incoherent and impossible to abide by consistently.
01:02:38.020
And that is ultimately why all of the people canceling this sushi restaurant are today themselves canceled.
